` on the contrary

*wipes off pedicure*

It's the time of empty promises, hanging messy banners and trying to make a name for themselves. Only thing is it came 14months in advance this time. On the contrary, there is one thing I particularly like about this time of the season. We get freshly tarred roads nearly everywhere. These people even make the extra effort to fill deep and long overdue holes (or what I feel is more like, meteor craters) in the roads. On the other hand, i'd like to assure you that even though it is smoothly tarred (for now), tarred roads in this country are just not destined for longevity. Reckless drivers, tractor and big-ass lorry drivers contribute to the terrible condition of our roads. Enough said for now.

Then again, while I was blog hopping some days ago, I came across this guy's blog who said he just saw a Mercedes taxi. He then concluded by saying "who says Malaysia is not richhhh?". What say you? Well, I say it takes an idiot to recognize another idiot. Concluding that because you've seen some "luxury" car turn into some form of public transportation, the country is rich? Well, it's a "luxury" car here because there is the import duties of about 300 percent? Therefore, the price increment actually makes it a "luxury" car when it's nothing much to shout about. Okay I sound like a whine pot. But yeah. It is irritating. Maybe I am. Who cares? haha. Don't read me then!

"Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor, today declared that the United States was in a recession as he withdrew an offer to bail out the increasingly troubled bond insurance industry.
Mr Buffett, the world's third-richest man, said that "from a commonsense standpoint right now we're in recession", despite the fact America had yet to report two consecutive quarterly falls in gross domestic product, the technical definition of a downturn."

"Wild fluctuations on the Chinese stock markets continued yesterday as the Shanghai Composite index of "A" and "B" shares fell by more than 7pc."

"Our economy is strong due to our forward-looking policies. If indeed there is a recession in the US, we can withstand it. And for this, we need a strong government.
- our former and to-be-again PM from BN (vote BN, because we care)

You know, i'd be a fool to say we can withstand it? I mean it is, after all, the United States of America. I'd be a bigger fool to believe. HAHA. Whooopsie! Alright.

One last thing. If in any situation, anyone was campaigning under this party, I think they'd win by a landslide. However, printing pictures of themselves wouldn't exactly help because if you haven't been working real hard over the past years, no one knows you. If you haven't worked hard enough, no one remembers you. But if you have, heck, everyone knows you. ie In her territory, I think it goes without saying that she'll win and anyone else contending against her is just putting cash to waste. Then again, people would still vote for the party. BUT, printing posters and buntings of the dudu's face, makes us think twice if voting for the party is a wise choice. haha. Enough of this.

what a beautiful cake! *daydreams

I really really liked him. haha.

My sister recently got a phone which has similar to blackberry functions. I've always wanted one of those, just never got to pursuing it. So here I am, meddling with it and all. I think if I had one of those, i'd end up being a crackberry. Maybe i'm just not used to it, but yeah. Hats off to those of you with crackblackberries! P/s: Nowadays, (I think) my sister uses her previous phone more often than not. :)

A friend just emailed me a song that I thought I already had. Well I did already have it. The older and not so grande version of it. Great. Now I owe him 10 bucks *sulks*. Haha. So here's the deal. Bands with orchestras are definitely better off! *glee* Hmmm. I went out with an old friend for scones today and abit of talking. :)

Lots of smiles,
