It is always best to be the youngest in the family because….

gingerbread man birthday cake

…….you get to order any type of birthday cake, including a special hand drawn, gingerbread man cake made exactly to order. Thank you to the uncle from Jenni Homemade Cake in Pulau Tikus!

…..your mommy has plenty of time to make red eggs in the right red tone, call Fortuna Red food dye for you. The pink rosy cheeks are original healthy, pink rosy cheeks, ok? Not coloured by artificial food dyes, ok?

sashimi

….you get the excuse to demand dinner at any place you want. Yesterday night dinner was at Isaribi Tei, a Japanese restaurant in Jalan Chow Thye which is just next to Jempu Tree.

roasted oysters

Tonight’s dinner is at Strada, a Western food restaurant at Jalan Burma, opposite Tan Mark Pulau Tikus.

…you get to blow candles twice because yesterday was with kindie’s friends and tonight is with big brother’s friends at Raffi, which is opposite Strada. (because big brother’s friends were there mamak-king so it is a good way to get rid of the too big size gingerbread man)

    Datuk Wong Chun Wai said :

    Umno Youth has every right to be angry with Karpal Singh’s claim that two live bullets were sent to him by the movement. As a seasoned lawyer, he should know better. He must produce evidence. You don’t have to be a first year law student to know that. He also has to watched his offensive language.

    DSC_0004

    And I wish to tell Datuk Wong Chun Wai, “You don’t have to be a first year journalism student to know that it is unethical to twist the news.

    The issue is : A bunch of rowdy 22 UMNO Youths who are abled bodied, confronted an old politician in his wheelchair and the security guards didn’t intervene.

    DSC_0003

    But your piece of crap of a newspaper has made a front page news of security personnels restraining Gobind Singh. Dey, apa kena mengena Gobind Singh with Karpal Singh? We know he is the son, and a filial one. He has every right to be angry. But that’s not the story.

    DSC_0002

    It is NOT about how Gobind Singh feel. We are not interested to know about his Face of Fury. What’s your journalist doing ah? Too much Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury movie, issit?

    This is what I get from Malaysiakini :

    During the ensuing drama, DAP MP for Segambut Lim Lip Eng claimed that he was assaulted as he tried to help Karpal escape the pushing and shoving which broke out at one of the entrances to Parliament.

    According to Lim, he was hit a number of times on the face and his body.

    Among the mob leaders were Serdang Umno Youth chief Ungku Salleh Ungku Jamal, Gombak Youth chief Megat Zulkarnain Omar Din and Petaling Jaya Utara Youth chief Lat Sharizan Abdullah.

    The opposition parliamentarians also complained that security personnel did not intervene until they made noise.

    Below is screenshot of the photos available on Malaysiakini site.

    Shame on you, The Star. Your paper is not doing any service to the country. Close it down, please.

    Big brother baked this for the teachers. The real birthday is tomorrow.

    DSC_0024

    Mom wrote the MATTHEW word while big brother #1 wrote the Happy Birthday. Big brother #2 said (to #1) “Man….your mom doesn’t know how to spell her son’s name. He has become May Yhew.”

    Big brother said, “You see lah, later your brother (Matthew) get traumatised and forever has a fear of birthday cakes because people laughed at his name when he was six.”

    Mom said, “Eh, shaddap ha, if not later you go and bake another cake baru tau.”

    DSC_0032

    These are Mini M&M cupcakes. Mom used muffin paper cups to bake (thinking it is easier for kids to handle) but she realised each cupcake is too big for a six years old. She doesn’t want them puking in class due to overeating. So, she had to cut one cupcake into two and put in new cupcakes paper cup.

    She said, “Don’t care lah….six years old only care about frosting on the cake.” BTW, the icing on top is made with non-dairy cream (can be bought only from baking shop) and not butter icing. Just in case people thinks mom is trying to create an obese generation.

    Meanwhile, mom has ordered a huge 1.5kg lychee and longan cake from the bakery. I (Matthew lah) brought my gingerbread man toy to the bakery and told the uncle from Jenni Homemade Cakes I want a huge gingerbread man decoration. The auntie wanted to borrow the gingerbread man for a night so that they can copy the design. I said, “CANNOT, no one can have my gingerbread man!” So, auntie at the bakery shop use technology. She took a photo with her handphone. Thank God for technology.

    The birthday is tomorrow but today is the last day of school, so mom let me celebrate first.

    I posted the news on Christian publications can use the word “Allah” which is published on The Star Online website.

    However, I received an email from the Catholic Lawyers Society quote here :

    [Webmaster : Clement Lopez is a member of the Catholic Lawyers' Society, KL].
    A latest Gazette dated 16.2.2009 issued under para.22(1)(c) of the Internal Security Act 1960 states as follows : -
    “…The printing, publication, sale, issue, circulation
    and possession of any document and publication relating
    to Christianity containing the words “Allah”, “Kaabah”,
    Baitullah” and “Solat” are prohibited unless on
    the front cover of the document and publication
    are written with the words “FOR CHRISTIANITY…”.
    Webmaster, CLS 2009.

    So, to safeguard myself and my Faith Journey blog, I have also put up “Untuk Agama Kristian” in the header. From what I understand, failing to adhere to the above Gazette will see the party under ISA. Don’t play-play, wei.

    Anyway, as a Catholic, I praise and thank God that wisdom prevails. Though I don’t use the term Allah in my writings, I do rejoice that the ban has been lifted, though with an extra Gazette.

    Some weeks ago, I attended a parents sharing with Martin Jalleh and the parents from my church. Martin Jalleh asked us what are some of the most challenging situations in our parenting journey. Most of us have children in their teens.

    I told him I personally find the lack of good role models to be the most challenging to me. Our children are now exposed to the make believe world on the internet, TV and other media. That to me, is still not much of a problem because I believed I have guided them well in that area. What they see on TV is not real and what celebrities do, are just for show.

    However, closer to home, it is very depressing to see the kind of animal circus played out by our politicians. Long time ago, if you ask a student what their cita-cita is, they probably say polis, askar (btw, that’s my cita-cita when I was 10), Perdana Menteri, peguam, doktor and other patriotric stuffs like that.

    Now, almost every profession has been tainted with fully blown scandals. The doktor who has a personal friend. The lawyer who is always correct, correct, correct. The paklalala paklalala always sleeeeeepingggg….the polis lagi teruk and maybe, so far the askar remains untainted, yet.

    Like today, I read that a group of UMNO Youth members cornered a disabled man in a wheel chair. This man is old, frail and part of his arm shriveled. The stern, bearded, white hair man you see on TV or on print is only an image or an icon. In reality, one naturally feel a certain compassion for a person like that when you see him in person. However, those youths certainly do not find that kind of feelings in them.

    Kejadian itu berlaku pada kira-kira jam 2.30 petang tadi ketika ahli parlimen Bukit Gelugor itu masuk melalui pintu utama bangunan tersebut.

    Kira-kira 20 hingga 30 ahli Pemuda Umno terbabit dan mereka dipercayai dari Selangor and Kuala Lumpur

    (malaysiakini)

    Yet, their leaders defended the action of the Youth members. What kind of message does this scenario tell our youths? They can bully anyone just because they think they are untouchables? Of course, there are parents who are there to guide their children on the rights and wrongs. But the majority who are making ends meet, certainly do not have time to bother about this.

    Then, there is this issue on the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English. I just read that the PIBG from the whole country supported the movement to change it back to Bahasa Malaysia. Who died and elected the spokeperson to represent us?

    Pengerusi PIBGN Datuk Mohamad Ali Hassan berkata, sokongan majlis tersebut terhadap GMP bagi mendesak pemansuhan PPSMI, termasuklah sedia terlibat dalam perhimpunan raksasa 100,000 orang di Istana Negara pada 7 Mac.

    “Kita minta kerajaan membuat keputusan segera. Jangan sampai ibu bapa turun buat demonstrasi, termasuklah di jalanan secara haram.

    (malaysiakini)

    If those elitists, language experts, poets or whatever who hold dear our national language wish to demand for the teaching of Science and Mathematics in BM because they love BM, then, I can accept that. But parents also want to get into the circus? Doh…think of the long term benefits. Our children will be much more equipped to face the real working world where English is needed. When we parents send these sort of ‘tak boleh jadi’ attitude to our children, of course the children will continue to ‘tak apa’ and will fare badly.

    Thank God my youngest son is going to Standard One next year and they have no way of changing the language to BM again.

    The way I see it, in another 10 years, all our children will live with the adat fitnah-menfitnah, aib-mengaib, korupsi, penipuan, gangerism and a lot of bad morals shown by our current batch of politicians. That’s why it is very important for me to get children anchored with some religious or faith formation so that no matter how black the world is, there is some light.

    They simply shit everywhere.

    No discipline. Niamah…go anywhere also smell their shits. If don’t see properly step on the dung lagi chialat. And the richer the area, the more bitches. But then, not all are bitches. Some of them are male dogs.

    What were you guys thinking? You think I am scolding some women ah? No lah, I am scolding those dogs’ owners. Nay…those cilaka dog owners who treat the road like their bitches toilet.

    I go to kindie, also must avoid dog’s poo. I go to church, also must make sure I don’t bring stinky shit into church. The church and my kid’s kindie are within the same rich men area. If broad daylight, at least I can see the brownish shit. But at night, how to see wor?

    Niamah, if I am the mayor, I will make it illegal to own dogs which are not toilet trained. If I can train my own kid to shit only in toilet bowls which can be flushed, why can’t you guys who own dogs teach your blardy canine the same? After all, so many dog owners are investing more money in dog foods, dog clothings, dog basket, dog vibrator (hahaha) and much more on your dogs. So go teach your dog to shit at home lah! Or go build a toilet specifically for your farking dog lah.

    If I am the mayor, I will hire my konco-konco to become majlis perbandaran hitmen. Nampak anjing berak kat jalan, PIANG, DIE! Then, summon the owner to wash public toilets for 2 years.

    So all you dog owners, if you beh shiok with what I wrote, go eat dog shit lah. Ciak kau sai, like how my dad taught us to say. I think it is highly irresponsible, inconsiderate and utterly un-Malaysians (where we need to respect our neighbours who find dogs haram) to bring your dogs to the five foot way, road curbs, under shady trees of residential areas to shit. The poo smells and when ran over by cars, the shit spread everywhere.

    Therefore, cita-cita saya adalah menjadi Mayor and ban dogs from shitting outside of their owner’s home.

    Pheww…nice. So long never rant. Actually I wanted to rant about this for a long time already but today is a good day because morning, I smell dog shit. Evening, I smell dog shit. Now, I am so paranoid, everytime before I get into my car, I will check my slipper’s sole. If too dark, I sniff before I step on my car’s carpet.

    Do you know that Jed Yoong was called by the police to yum cha due to postings on her blog? Apparently, she took one fiery post and translated it, and put it on her blog.

    So, some folks made police report that she menghina Raja eventhough it is NOT her post but a translated version of someone else post. See? I spell with capital letters, so I have no part in menghina anything, ok? I don’t have the guts of Jed Yoong nor the skill like her to dodge bullets.

    Anyway, of late, I have been getting some weird comments. Normally, they put a Chinese name on the ‘Name’ section but their email has other languages. Therefore, I sniffed that they are troublemakers out to start a fire. From the IPs, I notice they are using the same one. As I also blog about Christianity and our issue with regards to the term Allah, I get even weirder comments. The same IP person will first support my views, then, the next Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will come with something controversial…and so on.

    But pordah, I am made of chicken shit so I know when to shut up and when to talk. However, that doesn’t mean that I am not frustrated with the so-called loyal citizens who actually made a mascot out of the royalties. It pains me that these people actually acted like they are endorsed and well accepted by our Raja-Raja. It is sad that our Royalties are being ‘represented’ by such goons. Come on lah, like the king and sultans need their kepochiness. Doh….

    …and to save myself the hassle of getting people tokking kok when I am not looking, I am disabling comment. See? I told you I am chicken shit, kehrng dou sei but damn pak kua…

    It sucks to wake up one hour earlier than my normal waking time of 8.10 am. It is only 7.20 am and so, I wonder….

    If Najib who by tradition, the President of UMNO becomes the PM, then, who is going to be our DPM?

    Everyone thinks it is going to be Muhyiddin Yassin but what if it is the M2Taib? They are in the race together, aren’t they? Whoa….

    Then, between Khir Toyo, Khairy and Mukhriz, whom do you think is the less annoying and hence, deserves to win the Youth post? Mukhriz, of course. Because he is not as racist as the other two. But then, it is not people’s power but money power, so…..

    I shouldn’t be thinking about things like these. I should be more concerned if I am going to cook fish or chicken today. Sawi or bayam? Not belacan or cincalok smells worse.

    Good morning, folks and have a good day. My day will be good if the sun doesn’t shine and the whole day weather remains like this 8 am cooling, cloudy day. I have survived one week of crazy fetch, drop, pick, send sons and a sore-throat is felt but I am ‘willing’ it to go away and does not become a big flu. I made a pact with God. I told God, “Hey, not fair! You expect me to run in and out of hot sun, cold blasting aircond several times a day. I did that because it is my motherly duties. Then, God, don’t let me fall sick within a week or all my four kids will miss college, school and kindie unless they take a bus, bike and van. So, God, with Your Godly healing power, get these bugs out of my system. Amen!”
