Responding to our kaki bola’s poser on the state of our national team, in a way, it reflects the state of our national economy.

Khalid Jaafar, the kaki falsafah, responded in his blog on fraudulent claims of Mahathir’s wisdom in masterminding our economy. He states that we were once a richer nation than Korea but now they are five times more advanced. As our kaki bola mentioned, soccer-wise too, the whole of Asia feared us. We are a relatively small nation in Asia, yet struck fear in the Asian soccer scene similar to how the small Dutch team dominated Europe.

Are people getting weaker nowadays comparing to those good old days?

Look at the divorce rate, what’s happening?

Economics studies once came out a theory saying that there’s demand only when there’s supply. Latter in the century, the economists came out with another theory saying that there will only be supply when there is demand. Which is affecting which, and which one first? Sometimes I thought, is this applying to the same scenario in divorce cases boom nowadays? Because there is the term “divorce”, thus people are divorcing OR is it because people are asking for the need of divorce?

the film managed to parody the malaysian hair-metal scene pretty well with occasional spinal tap-esque moments, like the crap gigs rimba bara had to play after their small success. the tongue-in-cheek jokes were spot on (ripping off the bus seat covers before a gig, jibes about the band called handy black).

PPS has also gotten flooded with myspace kinda blogs, journals about irrelevant stuff, no real content, just whinging, whining, emo..

These people have as much right to ping PPS as say Paul Tan or Mack Zulkifli, but really I wish they would realise no one really wants to read their shit, and keep it somewhere else.

Granted, changing lanes on the highway in the midst of Malaysian traffic itself gives you the same five nanosecond heart-stopping action you’d get from initially getting dropped free fall off a twenty storey building. Think I’m bluffing? Have you ever tried changing lanes while a Kancil is seemingly blocks away? Just as you hit that signal… before the circuit even has time to react, the Kancil flies past you at vehicle rattling, earth shaking sonic speed fueled by unseen demonic forces that leave an imaginary trail of blazing hellish fire… missing you by a pitiful hairsbreadth.

The perfect people of this world- the ones who make us envious and suspicious- always seem untouchable, robotic, immune, forever surrounded by a vague haze which protects them from the mess-ups of the rest of the world.

Since Brendan Pereira, the former Straits Times journalist who is now Group Editor of the NST, won’t publish his letter in response to the commentary he wrote earlier this week, Sufi Yusoff has turned to this blog and several other blogs to get the content of the letter across to Malaysians:-

Semi related: Mahathir-ists

I went to watch “Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift” yesterday (who in the Malaysian blogosphere didn’t). What ticked me off the most about the movie was of course the ‘great white protagonist defeat evil asian villain’ plot.

you will silence the terror
with your bare hands
you would build a new world.
But I, being free, do not know
what to do
do not know if indeed
I am free.

Suddenly ANDY LAU flies in from the Magical Wu-Xia Mountain and fires Qi blasts at ROBIN SHOU and JET LI. Both are fazed long enough for KEN WATANABE and MIN-SIK CHOI to kill them. ANDY LAU begins fighting with MIN-SIK CHOI.

“After I kill you, I’ll OPEN THE GATES OF HELL!” MIN-SIK CHOI says. He uses evil Chinese magic to raise the dead. On the battlefield below, dead ninjas, samurai, and monks return to life as flesh-eating zombies! The battlefield is reduced to total chaos!

“Never, monster!” ANDY LAU yells.

ZHANG ZIYI and LUCY LIU have realized that their shared status as violent Asian women forces them to team up to defeat the Korean leaders, NICOLAS CAGE and BAE-YONG JUN.
