The Dream That Kills

Ever had the most weirdest dream in your life?
Its so weird that it almost felt, real?
Well, yesterday afternoon I took a nap and have one of the wackiest dream ever.
You'll see why...

In the afternoon....
I was so sleepy, couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I was watching a movie called Nanny McPhee with my mother and brother.
I suppose the movie was for children, but yet, it kept a fully grown dude like me entertain.
But I was sleepy, I told my self right after this movie I would go to bed.
Indeed after that, I head to bed straight away.
And the dream began......

I open my eyes, seeing trees and a theres this very eerie feeling.
I take a look around me, realize that I'm no where near town.
Wooden houses(something like a kampung area) surround me. Not knowing where I am, I just started walking around....they sky was dark
But I felt weird, its like I'm here on a mission, and the way I'm walking is more like sneaking rather than walking.
Not knowing what was going, I play along.
Next think I know, I saw at least two other man all dress up like Rambo or something like that.
One guy told me that we had to act fast.
Sneaking through houses, jumping through fence....I don't like this feeling, but yet I follow every move they make.
Finally we arrive at the back of a wooden house, it looks nothing like a house where people would live in, but more like a hideout.
And suddenly, my purpose of being with these two guys become clear, my reason there has been revealed to me.
I was an undercover agent, SWAT team, the Navy Seal Team....I'm not sure, all I know I was part of an government association.
We quickly bust in the house, the bust startle some of them, so we shot a few of them accept one guy.....I assume is the leader.
One of my guy interrogate him, whack him up.....I couldn't remember what were thay talking about...
But after he was done with it, he look at me, with a voice of authority he said "Kill him.."
I took a knife out, a pretty long and sharp one, stab the victim hard in the abdomen.
I'm pretty sure his dead....
In the midst of all these things going on, I don't feel great, or like some kind of super hero, instead, I felt cold, scared, and trembling.
When I took the knife out, my hands were shivering.....and when the knife when through his body, I felt a chill down my spine!!
Gosh!! Its my first time killing a human being! Never like the feeling....

We walk out of the wooden house, set the house a blaze and watch it as the fire engulf the whole wooden house.
Then our leader(I assume his my leader because he kept giving order) command us to make a move out of here, pronto.
So we moved out the same way we came in....with stealth and silence.....like shadow in the dark....we leave no trace behind
But as we were escaping, I heard sirens from police cars!! I was so panic that I starting running like a wild rabbit being chase by dogs.
We apparently split up and after that I never see them again, but all I know now is that I have to run, or else I'll be dead too.
The hunter became the hunted.
The fear, the intense of the atmosphere, the dark, seeing my shadow pass through houses.....and what freak me out was the sound of the sirens, it was getting closer and closer.
The closer the sound get, the more I was panic.....all I can think now is death....


I was so scared, suddenly the next thing I know I was awake!!
Whole body was wet with sweat....
Feeling a lil bit uneasy of the whole dream...
Pick my self up from bed and get ready for dinner....
As much as you think its cool, its NOT!!!
I was scared to death!!!!!
I think too much hitman game for me...

This is the first time I had a dream like this....it was darn scary not cool ok. Way darn scary.
Apparently killing someone wasn't really nice....
The worst part is when I know I was being hunted....that feeling was even more sick man!!!

But I glad it was all a dream......
Dreams can be scary at times.
So whats your dream like?

Blogging Away

Food....my stomach is hungry......
Well so I went browsing in the morning, doing some online survey thing at youthsays. Then they have this section where you can search for a new blog to read.
Since i'm super free, so I went browsing randomly, looking at interesting and the not so interesting blog names. I came across this blog, it has its own domain.
So I tot it will be interesting, so I went to check it out....and.....I WAS RIGHT!!!
You know why?
Hehe.....ok, the moment you step into her blog, it says, Dine with Annna. So??
Yes you are right!! She blogs about food food food!!!!
Yum Yum Yum!!!
And you know what else I found???
Utterly yummy-licious cake that look "So good that I can even eat it ON MY OWN"(Remember the Gardenia Bread song?? Hehe)

The Chef working out their master piece

Vuala!! Art that can be eaten? I like the burger wan especially....Yum
In case you were wondering, YES, they are edible, real delicious cake!!

Then later in the afternoon I have to sent my bro to tuition, and after that, go to the CIMB bank which is near to my house to pay some income tax(My dad's one ok, not mine).
After taking my number, which I realize is theres 28 people more to go, I head over next door to Ayamas Chicken store to get me some drinks and sausage(man all this food stuff is making me hungry).....
Because I can't enter the bank with food. So I sat outside.....
You know what I saw?
Two dudes standing next to a Mercedes car, one look in his mid 30s the other dude looks like a Dato(not to be confuse with datuk) in his mid 50s.
They are selling like some kind of.....I dunno....Oil? Petrol? Some magical water thingy?
Whatever it is.....
I find it funny because, who in the world do business on a Mercedes car!!???
Come on la, at least be creative la....who in the world wanna buy some pink colour looking weird bottle on a Mercedes car? Would you wanna buy one??



Ok, i'm currently feeling darn inspired. So int drawing now.....hopefully by the next post i'll be able to finish drawing and painting whatever I was drawing? haha....till then....

My Friends, It Matters

Friends, friends come and go, they never stay.
When the time comes, we'll all be separated.
Many says that friends are not to be trusted, and still others believe that friends will be nothing more than friends.
But to me, my friends are precious, my friends are my family, no matter where they go, we are never apart.
Distance cannot separate us.
Not everyone in my life I can proudly call them my friend, my family.
I don't trust people easily.
I don't tell everyone my problem, only friends that are deserving, and stick by each other through thin and thick are the well deserves one to be call, my friend.

Memories of the good times will always be remembered.
And the bad times, will always be a lesson to learn.
We all have our separate ways, separate vision, separate dreams.
Maybe one day will see each other again, maybe some day will work together as a team again.
Maybe....
But let us not let distance be a hindrance for us, let us not forget each other.
May we'll meet again....
Someday.....

The Fuel Price Saga

Ok, I know some of you might get this in your email already, but i'm posting it here so that Malaysians(or who ever visits my blog) could see that what our gov is doing. By the way, i got this from my email sent by a friend. So here goes....

WHAT IS NEVER MENTIONED IN Mainstream Media like NST/TheStar/Utusan/BH are these facts....

Malaysian PerCapita Income USD 5000

VS

Singaporean PerCapita Income USD 25000

Further The Star made a comparison of prices in Thailand , Singapore and Indonesia .

For Thailand it is quoted at RM3.90/liter, however are they aware that in Thailand new cars are cheaper than Malaysia by RM10,000? They pay only one life time for their driving license? No renewal fee after that? Also that goes for road tax as well? And do TheStar also aware that you can drive all the way from Hadtyai to Bangkok on a six lane highway without paying any Tolls ??!!

Whereas here in Malaysia you have to pay yearly renewal for road tax , driving license and TOLLS, TOLLS, TOLLS!!!

For Singapore how can you quote RM 5.20 ? Please quote in Singapore Dollars because they are earning in Sing Dollars. You might as well say Europeans are paying RM10/liter. RM5.20/liter = Sing $ 2.20/liter, still cheaper than Malaysia in view of fact that Singapore is not a crude oil exporter. Are you saying that you fill up petrol in Singapore by paying Ringgit?

In economy, dollar to dollar must be compared as apple to apple. Not comparing like durian in M'sia is much cheaper than durian in Japan!! Of course-lah, Japan is not durian producer!!! Comparing Malaysian durian with Thailand durian make more sense!!

For Indonesia we might say is cheaper there at RM2.07/liter but compare that to their level of income!

Now, let us compare the price with OIL PRODUCING countries:

UAE – RM1.19/litre

Eygpt – RM1.03/litre

Bahrain – RM0.87/litre

Qatar – RM0.68/litre

Kuwait – RM0.67/litre

Saudi Arabia – RM0.38/litre

Iran – RM0.35/litre

Nigeria – RM0.32/litre

Turkmenistan – RM0.25/litre

Venezuela – RM0.16/litre

MALAYSIA – RM2.70/litre

RM 2.70!!! Individual perspective:

As of last month a Toyota Vios would 'cause a damage' of about RM 89,000.

In the international market, a Toyota Vios is about USD 19,000

USD 19,000 = RM 62,700 (using the indicative rates of USD 1 = RM 3.30)

That makes Malaysian Vios owners pay an extra RM 26,300.

This RM 26,300 should be cost of operations, profit and tax because the transportation costs have been factored in to the USD 19,000.

RM 26,300/ RM625 petrol rebate per year translates to a Vios being used for 42.08 years.

I do understand that the RM 625 is a rebate given by the government, but it also means that one has to use the Vios for 42.08 years just to make back the amount paid in taxes for the usage of a foreign car. Would anyone use any kind of car for that long?

Now with these numbers in front of us, does the subsidy sound like a subsidy or does it sound like a penalty? This just seems to be a heavy increment in our daily cost of living as we are not only charged with high car taxes but also with a drastic increase in fuel price.

With all the numbers listed out, I urge all Malaysians to join me in analyzing the situation further.

Car taxation is government profit, fuel sales is Petronas' (GLC) profit which also translates into government profit. The government may ridicule us Malaysians by saying look at the world market and fuel price world wide. Please, we are Malaysians, we fought of the British, had a international port in the early centuries (Malacca), home to a racially mixed nation and WE ARE NOT STUPID!!!

We know the international rates are above the USD 130/barrel. We understand the fact that the fuel prices are increasing worldwide and we also know that major scientist are still contradicting on why this phenomenon is happening. Some blame Bush and his plunders around the world and some blame climate change and there are others which say petroleum 'wells' are getting scarce.

Again we go back to numbers to be more straight fwd

1 barrel = 159 liters x RM2.70/liter = RM 429 or USD 134

On 1 hand, we are paying the full cost of 1 barrel of crude oil with RM2.70 per liter but on the other hand the crude oil only produces 46% of fuel.

Msia sells crude oil per barrel at USD130 buys back Fuel per barrel at USD134. And not forgetting, every barrel of fuel is produced with 2 barrels of crude oil.

1 barrel crude oil = produce 46% fuel (or half of crude oil), therefore

2 barrel crude oil = approximately 1 barrel fuel

In other words, each time we sell 2 barrels of crude oil, equivalently we will buy back 1 barrel of fuel.

Financially,

Malaysia sell 2 barrel crude oil @ USD 130/barrel = USD 260 = RM 858

then, Malaysia will buy back fuel @ USD 134/barrel = RM 442/barrel

Thus, Malaysia earn net extra USD 126 = RM 416 for each 2 barrel of crude sold/exported vs imported 1 barrel of fuel !!!

(USD 260-134 = USD 126 = RM416)

So where this extra USD 126/barrel income is channeled to by Malaysian Govt?????????

Another analysis:

1 barrel crude oil = 159 liters.

46-47% of a barrel of crude oil = fuel that we use in our vehicles.

46% of 159 = 73.14 liters.

@ RM 2.70/liter x 73.14 liter = RM197.48 of fuel per barrel of crude oil. This is only 46% of the barrel, mind you. Using RM 3.30 = USD 1, we get that a barrel of crude oil produces USD 59.84 worth of petrol fuel (46% of 1barrel).

USD 59.84 of USD 130/barrel turns out to be 46% of a barrel as well.

Another 54% = bitumen, kerosene, and natural gases and so many more.

And this makes a balance of USD 70.16 that has not been accounted for.

So this is where I got curious. Where is the subsidy if we are paying 46% of the price of a barrel of crude oil when the production of petrol/barrel of crude oil is still only 46%?

In actual fact, we still pay for this as they are charged in the forms of fuel surcharge by airlines and road taxes for the building of road (because they use the tar/bitumen) and many more excuse charging us but let us just leave all that out of our calculations.

As far as I know, only the politicians who live in Putrajaya and come for their Parliament meetings in Kuala Lumpur (approximately 60+ km) are the ones to gain as they claim their fuel and toll charges from the money of the RAKYAT's TAX.

It is so disappointing to see this happen time and time again to the Malaysian public, where they are deceived by the propaganda held by the politicians and the controls they have over the press.

Which stupid idiot economist equates rebates for rich or poor with the cc of the vehicles? An average office clerk may own a second hand 1300cc proton Iswara costing $7,000 (rebate = $625) while the Datuk's children can own a fleet of 10 new cars of BMW, Audi and Volvo all less than 2000cc costing $2 millions and get a total rebate of $625 x 10 = $6,250! Wow what kind of economists we are keeping in Malaysia...wonder which phD certificate that they bought from...

Misleading concept of Subsidy:

The word "subsidy" has been brandished by the BN government as if it has so generously helped the rakyat and in doing so incurred losses. This simple example will help to explain the fallacy:

Example:

Ahmad is a fisherman. He sells a fish to you at $10 which is below the market value of $15. Let's assume that he caught the fish from the abundance of the sea at little or no cost. Ahmad claims that since the market value of the fish is $15 and he sold you the fish for $10, he had subsidised you $5 and therefore made a loss of $5.

Question : Did Ahmad actually make a profit of $10 or loss of $5 which he claimed is the subsidy?

Answer:

Ahmad makes a profit of $10 which is the difference of the selling price ($10) minus the cost price ($0 since the fish was caught from the abundance of the sea). There is no subsidy as claimed by Ahmad.

The BN government claims that it is a subsidy because the oil is kept and treated as somebody else's property (you know who). By right, the oil belongs to all citizens of the country and the government is a trustee for the citizens. So as in the above simple example, the BN government cannot claim that it has subsidised the citizen!

Priceless Moments

Have you ever play a game of snooker before?
Well, snooker is something like Pool, but even more interesting! In a game of pool, the first person to finish all balls wins. But for snooker, the one with the higher points wins! Each colour on the snooker ball represent different points. So to cut the long story short, in order to win the game, one must be accurate, smart thinker and a good finisher. For playing snooker it ain't as easy as pool, cause the table are way bigger, the balls are slightly smaller and same goes to the holes.

So you see, snooker in other words, its suppose to be a serious game, a game of intelligence and accuracy. But for the 5monkey like us, a snooker game is just another ball game....
Well, actually the rest of us was kinda serious and was eager to learn this game for it is our second time trying to play the game.....Davin was our some sort like teacher, because he is more experience in the game of snooker. But for Allan, it is his first time playing.....and you know Allan(for those who do) he never plays any other game seriously accept football.

Ok, last saturday night me, Allan, Ashley, Davin, my brother and Audrey went for a drink at Friends Cafe. But we all ended up watching tv....stupid tv.....so Audrey got bored and dunno what to say cause all of us were like starring at the tv.....so she decided to go home early....but we, the guys, felt like it was still early, and we are still feeling fresh and awake! So we decided to go for a game of snooker....thats when the fun really begins!! Haha....

You should see the way Allan play the ball......at first he was kinda serious, take a good aim at the target, and he shoots.....but every time he shoots, he misses the target.....in snooker when you miss hitting the correct ball, or you totally miss at all, your opponents gain point....so eventually the other team(Ashley and my brother, Davin solo, me and Allan...ya poor me) gain extra points.
Because Ashley occasionally misses the ball too, therefor that makes Davin the most higher score of us all, until he got so bored of counting the scores.....He says: "I sit down here also got free points....swt"

Thats me(above pic)

Allan(as you can see the way he handle the cue stick....)

Thats Ashley, Allan's other twin

Thats my brother

Davin was taking the pictures, so his face wasn't in

But the most funny thing is when Allan decided to "chincai play"(chincai means simply).....and guess what? His accuracy was sharper than ever before!! It was so sharp that even the cue ball(the white ball) when in together with the other ball.....hahaha....when he fire a shot, the whole table look messy, the balls were everywhere....hahahaha.....there were one shot where she try to scoop the ball, in a very wrong way, and the ball came bouncing towards me, and fly out the table!! Is like one moment we were playing snooker, the next we were playing baseball....so hilarious!! We keep laughing and eventually, none of us could play properly, all of our shots become haywire....balls came flying out of the table, Allan was making funny weird shots, and giving away free points....

We played untill the shopkeeper stand right next to us.....because its time to close shop....yet we were still laughing our heads of....and trying hard to finish up whatever balls left on the table....we laugh so hard, we were so happy and we eventually came to love the game of snooker because of our stupidity.....we vow to go back the same snooker center and play snooker the next time we meet, and Allan is a must to join.....hahahahahahahahahahaha.......

What really make us all laugh is the way Allan play...I even told him to stay that way, don't ever improve in his skill.....so that we could laugh some more(why am I so terrible??)

So because of the good time we had together, I came up with this slogan(stolen from mastercard's ad),

Naik Lagi??

Just came back from church camp, so was tired and didn't blog for the pass few days.
So here I am. Back and alive, but sick... x)

Yesterday, I fetch my brother to tuition about 7.30pm. Because both of my parents car fuel was running dry quick, I have to head down to the petrol station to fuel up the tank. I was driving my father's Wira car that night. Almost every turn I make where there is a petrol station, I can see cars queuing, row after row.....people are like rushing for petrol as if they were free or something. Well, eventually I get stuck here and there, force to take alternate route to the Shell petrol station(because its my parents fav. station, and they offer Bonus Link points). After making so many wrong turns I finally found my way out...Ah...finally, freeway!! But it didn't last long.... -.-
So I was stuck again in another queuing mayhem to the petrol station....
I was kinda panic when I saw my father's car petrol sign flashing!! And here I was stuck in the jam....patiently I waited for the car to move.....inches by inches.....got so bored, I switch on the radio and listen to Fly FM and realize that not only me, not only Malacca, but the whole of Malaysia is going trough the same madness together!!
I myself couldn't not believe what I saw yesterday, its like rows after rows, cars after cars, lane after lane are all pile up....for the first time in my life I see flocks of cars queue up to get a tank of full petrol!!!! -.-""
Got stuck in the jam at 8pm, and follow the slow trail of cars patiently. "Ahaha!! Finally is my turn!! Just one more car, just one more car, faster la!! Why pump so slow? Oi, you think you are the only car?? Cepat la, monkey!!! Dunno got petrol left for me or not...what if I reach there petrol habis how??!! o.O?!" These are the thoughts that ran through my mind as I waited for that one last car to move.....
When is my turn to pump, I quickly race down that car, insert the cards(Bonus Link and Master Card), remove the fuel cap, and quickly pump the petrol down....As I stare back at the cars behind me, as they anxiously waited for their turn.
I was kinda worried too, cause some of the driver pump petrol with their car engine running!! Idiots!! What if the petrol caught on fire? What if the car exploded in a ball of fire and inflame the whole petrol station??!!! What if I get burn alive?? o.O??? >.<
When the pump stop pumping, I quickly grab the resit, get into the car and drove of.....Ah relieve.....
As I was driving down the road I saw other petrol station is going through the same scenario, cars after cars keeps coming in from left to right, from north to south, east and west!! People forcing their way in trying to reach to the pump......

The next day........

The whole nightmare wasn't about yesterday, the nightmare actually started today, on 5th June 2008. Petrol prices were increasing like tsunami, 12 foot high, only it was in money form. As much as 78cents per liter was the increment and consumer have to pay RM2.70 per liter, thats like crazy!!! Almost RM20 extra for a full tank of petrol we have to pay!!! Waa.....everything naik....mati la......

Today I sent my bro to tuition, as I said earlier, both my parents car ran out of petrol, yesterday I went to pump the Wira, today is Kancil turn....
As usual I search for a Shell petrol station, park my car at the right spot(make sure petrol tank is left or right so that no need to pull the nozzle long-long), insert the credit and Bonus Link card, lift nozzle and pump. Oh ya not forgetting the fuel cap =D
One young Malay dude was attending to me, he ask if I would like the car window to be clean, I thought since the car window was dirty, so I said yes.
As he was cleaning, I ask him about the situation here in this station, he said it was flooded with cars, like theres no tomorrow....Not so different from where I pump....he added and said "Sekarang minyak naik, nasi naik, semua naik, tapi gaji tak naik......bodoh punya kerajaan..." or something like that......
Hmmm.....I wonder how long will BN(Barisan Nasional) rule the country.....hehehehehe *sinister smile* >:)
