[Msia] Sexy School Uniforms

In some countries, summer is known as the "silly season". Since we folks in equatorial Msia have summer all year round, I guess we are blessed with the bestest of silliness full time & full blown.

Now, since the 08March08 election results, let's fast forward a bit to today:
- MIC's Uncle Samy has gone into some corner hiding (and we do miss his antics although toll hikes seem to have not occurred for a while....)
- UMNO is facing some crisis of sorts (again)
- MCA leaders have been accused of doing mightly saucily naughtily thingilies

There's been a lack of silliness lately as our bureaucrats are somewhat occupied. So, we thank a Munirah Bahari for filling in the void, she declared that school uniforms in Msia are too sexy!


Disclaimer From Serious Research: I typed in "sexy school uniform" in Google Images and found this first image. I know I've left the education system for many years, but I could have sworn this is not what the Msian school kids are wearing these days.


Now this sounds trivial, but Munirah Bahari must have done some serious number crunching to establish some linkage. So sexy school uniforms lead to social ills, which in turn leads to mass moral decay in holy Msian society, which blah blah blahs, and in return yadda yadda yaddas .... and when you square root that, and apply some alpha factorial coefficient - the result is the destruction of Msia and everything else good on earth!!

I say burn those sexy school uniforms!! BURN and get them out of our superficially purist society!!! But uh, what do the kids wear after that la?

[Self] Bad Pics May 2008

Some random pics taken - can't get the full effects I hoped maybe it is finally time to talk myself into a DSLR ...


A whole bunch of kerenggas swarming around, and there was the moon being exemplary bright on an early evening.














Been darn humid & hot.

[Self] I Shudda Gone See KT Tunstall

... sometime in late March or early April 2008 when she was in SG. Listening to some of her songs again, I think she would've been kickass in person. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

[Self] Overspending

Every time I step out of a bookstore, I lament that there's a lot of stuff I haven't even finished yet. As fast as I try to finish em, I have developed this horrible habit of buying new titles when I am not done with the old ones.

So, I shall weakly attempt to vow not to buy anymore new ones* until I have at least completed 75% of the below:
- PMP Exam Guide
- PMI Magazines (about 6 months worth)
- China History Comics x 5 (Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Historical Figures from Ancient China, Ming Dynasty's 李志成 , and the Revolutionary Period)
- 封神演义
- New Malaysian Essays
- Some book by Henry Porter
- Some collection of books by Ian Rankin
- Some book on taking better pics
- How the 3rd Reich Lost
- Some book on WW1
- The full set of all HHGTTG books (Read it many years ago when the British Council had a properly run library but not anymore. Anyway I finally bought it so I need to read it)
- Book 3 of The Furies

* Erm, I still need to find book 1&2 of The Furies series. I bought book 3 today so I can bend the rules based on a lame technicality here...

[Self] Ramblings on History Lessons

Been shelled up past week taking in huge doses of Ancient China history. Finished the last disc for the RO3K lecture series, and then something about the foundings of the Han Dynasty (Liu Bang vs Xiang Hu, plus a whole of other issues too), and also stopped at the how Han Wu Ti ascended to the throne despite being no. 10 in line. These were history lessons and perspectives by some Chinese lecturers.

Also, just in the processof downloading the latest episode of of the Napoleon 101 Podcast, and I remember I still haven't done any reading about Talleyrand, Metternich, nor Fouche despite wanting to late last year. The podcast is done by a cool guy who is a retired teacher.

But one very interesting thing - when the (mainland) Chinese lecture, they at least are more devoted into the multiple aspects of what could have actually transpired and why. The Westerners still tend to have their opinions tempered by a weil of political correctness which makes it less interesting, more bland and less based on reality.

Now .... it is time for less of history, and time to catch up on The West Wing Season 5 ...
