3rd LPSM

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

Little Penang has worn me out a little. We were kind of short handed.

It was raining the whole time but despite that the crowd does look encouraging. Music was awesome and so was the food.

But I still wished it was really sunny. The so call charm that I was taught to make. Supposedly to ward off rain…. Well did not work.

Let’s just pray for better weather for the next one. Coming on October 29th.

Common mistake

Funny stuff…
Yet I have heard it all too often people saying it wrong…

“Doc,” says Steve, “I want to be castrated.”

“What on earth for?” asks the doctor in amazement.

“It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time and I want to have it done” replies Steve.

“But have you thought it through properly?” asks the doctor, “It’s a very serious operation and once it’s done, there’s no going back. It will change your life forever!”

“I’m aware of that and you’re not going to change my mind — either you book me in to be castrated or I’ll simply go to another doctor.”

“Well, OK.” says the doctor, “But it’s against my better judgment!”

So Steve has his operation, and the next day he is up and walking very slowly, legs apart, down the hospital corridor with his drip stand. Heading towards him is another patient, who is walking exactly the same way.

“Hi there,” says Steve,” It looks as if we’ve just had the same operation.”

“Well,” said the patient, “I finally decided after 37 years of life that I would like to be circumcised.”

Steve stared at him in horror and screamed, “Shit! THAT’S the word!”

I recently received an email which reads as followed.

Malaysian laws on rape are not strict enough. As a result, we can see rape cases arising in our national newspapers almost every day!

Do your part in stopping rape. We wish to collect 1,000,000 voices from the rakyat to encourage the government to enact harsher rules to punish the unforgivable acts of these rapists.

Once we collected 1,000,000 voices, we hope to send our united voices of the rakyat to let the government knows that we need stricter laws for a safer nation.

Please FORWARD this email to as many Malaysians as possible. Please participate in our campaign to stop rape. Play your part in creating a safer country, a safer Malaysia.

Please visit http://www.safermalaysia.org/ now to voice your concern.

From,
A concerned Malaysian

However, I am wondering how legit this thing is. Can anyone educate me on it. Thanks.
