March 1st is National Pig Day...






Some are treated like royalty,


With Jewels galore.










Others need a GOOD cleaning,


Mom how much more?









Demi-plea little piggy.


Demi-plea.









An artist or two?










And some girls just,


Want to have fun.
Wee-wee-wee,


All the way home.




Have a beautiful day sweet friends.


I just couldn't resist. I love little piggies.


After all it is a National Day.





As always,
thank you for stopping by,


my little piece of heaven,


here in the desert,


that I so love to call home.


Country hugs and much love,

Makcik tenat, rakan karib & dreamboat

SOALAN:
Anda ada kunci kereta.
Terjumpa tiga orang di perhentian bas:
1) Makcik tua yang sakit tenat, mesti dihantar ke hospital segera.
2) Rakan karib anda.
3) Wanita/Jantan idaman anda (bak kata omputeh, dreamboat).

Jika anda bawa makcik ke hospital, wanita/jantan tu akan lari dengan sahabat anda.
Jika anda bersama rakan karib, makcik tua maut di tangan minah cantik/mamat lawa.
Jika anda ikut hati, makcik akan maut juga.

Ada cara lain?
Apa yang anda boleh lakukan untuk pastikan Semuanya OK?

Cuba Teka!

Pemenang akan diberi tiket one-way ke Tripoli. Hee.

Me Make Monster!

Mrs. Fizzy, Ginger and Corky Jr. from Jenny Harada's Me Make Monster for North Light Books

When my crafty pal Jenny Harada contacted me about creating a project for her book Me Make Monster, I was beyond flattered. Jenny is absurdly talented and sees the world through the most wonderful, whimsical lens. Her one of a kind monsters even appeared in the movie Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium!

I immediately thought of doing an upcycled project using champagne corks. Not because I love champagne or needed an excuse to have to buy more. Oh no. Definitely not.

He he.

Above is my project which features champagne corks, wired tinsel, vintage bottle caps and buttons, fun fur and spinning Tim Holtz elements along with a fun wooden house I bought at a craft store and painted to match the monsters.

Avalon made the spotted monster! She did such a great job!


This book is filled with spooktacular ideas from Jenny and her uber talented crafty pals. I think anyone with a sense of kitsch will absolutely love it! It's just too much fun! Plus it's a great read, Jenny has a terrific sense of humor.

The people of Tunisia and the wider Arab world are sick of corruption, the soaring price of basic foods, unemployment, poverty and oppression. Their rebellion is completely understandable and long overdue. But this is why it is so important to get informed and streetwise about how the world is controlled and manipulated and to what end. Without that people - not least protesting people - are just babes in arms.

Some points to note:

* The Rothschild-Illuminati-Zionist networks have kept these Arab tyrants in power with political, financial and military support decade after decade - not least via their prime vassals, Britain and the United States.


* The same networks are responsible for the global economic crash through their banking cartel that has worsened dramatically the levels of poverty, unemployment and depravation, and they, too, are responsible for the manufactured leaps in the price of food and oil to squeeze the people even more.


* I have long outlined the Rothschild-Illuminati-Zionist plan to create mayhem, chaos and upheaval in the Arab countries of the Middle East to trigger violence and division that would suit the goals of the Rothschild-owned and imposed State of Israel.


Rothschild agent, Mr 'Evil' Henry Kissinger, confirmed this agenda this week when he said of what is happening in the Middle East: 'This is only the first scene of the first act of a drama that is to be played out ...'

Soros & Brzezinski Prepare to Hijack Egypt Revolution with Puppet, Mohamed ElBaradei

http://www.prisonplanet.com/
http://www.infowars.com/
http://www.prisonplanet.tv/

The revolt in Egypt is an organically driven people-power movement to oust a dictator, restore universal freedoms, and wrestle the country free from the clutches of the US military-industrial complex, but the man now being positioned to form a new government is a pied piper working for the very same globalists and NGO's that autocrat leader Hosni Mubarak has dutifully served for nearly 30 years.

Make no mistake about it, under the current regime Egypt is a vassal state for the new world order. Under Mubarak, the country receives some $2 billion in aid every year from the United States, second only to Israel. In addition, Egypt pays out $1.1 million annually to the Podesta Group, an organization closely tied with the Obama administration, to act as "foreign agents" for Mubarak's regime.

Mubarak's loyalty to the US empire was reciprocated this week when Vice-President Joe Biden ludicrously asserted that Mubarak's unbroken 30 year reign did not represent a dictatorship and that he was a close ally of the west.

"Egypt under Mubarak uses its billions in U.S. military aid to detain, beat and torture dissenters, opposition politicians and journalists; many have died in custody," writes Mark Zepezauer. "Thousands of political prisoners and pro-democracy activists are held in overcrowded, disease-ridden prisons, without charges or trials. Press restrictions, including newspaper shutdowns, are widespread."

Which is why it makes no sense whatsoever for the CIA to be involved in contriving a series of riots that would destabilize and threaten to topple a regime loyal to them. This is not the type of staged "color revolution" that we've witnessed before in places like Georgia, the Ukraine or Yugoslavia -- orchestrated events disguised as spontaneous uprisings intended to remove rogue leaders hostile to the global elite's agenda for world government.

This is a grass roots movement being carried out by impoverished young Egyptians finally standing up in unison to a regime that toadies to the west yet allows its people none of the freedoms associated with living in a modern and prosperous nation. But that doesn't mean the revolution we currently see unfolding on the streets of Alexandria, Cairo, Suez and cannot be co-opted by the very same globalist forces who have been pulling Mubarak's strings for the past three decades.

The US military-industrial complex has known for at least three years that Egypt was teetering on the verge of regime change, and they certainly were not going to let anyone outside parties take control after Mubarak's fall. That's why the American Embassy trained rebel leaders to infiltrate opposition groups from the very beginning, as the Telegraph reveals today.

People Win - Hosni Mubarak steps down after massive 2-week pressure
President Hosni Mubarak has finally stepped down and handed power to the military, according to the country's Vice-President. The President left the capital earlier today. It has become a welcome news to the hundreds of thousands in central Tahrir Square in Cairo, who've been demonstrating there day and night refusing to leave until the President stood down. After thirty years in power, Mubarak announced more than a week ago he would not participate in the upcoming presidential election.

Egypt Fed Up with Foreign Bullying - People won't accept new stooge
Mubarak's steely determination not to resign was broken as he stepped down as president on Friday. Egyptians spent all night celebrating the end of his 30-year regime. The renowned author and middle east expert Tariq Ali believes the U.S. was playing a risky game during the days of the Egyptian unrest.


Egypt bullets made in US, ElBaradei success doubtful
RT discusses Egypt crisis with Afshin Rattansi, author and journalist from London.


CIA million-dollar modeling couldn't predict Egypt Revolution
Egypt's military leaders have dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution, taking power from deposed president Hosni Mubarak. The higher military council said it would stay in power for six months, or until elections are held. A committee is now being formed to amend the constitution and set laws for the interim period.

Some Egyptian and Arab media are reporting that the 82-year-old former head-of-state is in poor health and may even be in a coma. There has been no official response from Cairo to the rumors regarding Mubarak's condition. Meanwhile, after Washington called events in Egypt a victory for democracy, author and journalist Afshin Rattansi says it's not an American triumph.


CIA fuels 'mob rule' in Arab world to change power
The U.S. government had been planning to topple the Egyptian President for the past three years - that's according to diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks. The files show Washington had been secretly backing leading figures behind the uprising. Reportedly some fifty people have died and hundreds more injured in nationwide demonstrations since Tuesday. Protesters have returned to Cairo's central square this morning reiterating calls for President Hosni Mubarak to step down. Earlier the president dismissed his government, but refused to quit. Unrest in Egypt comes weeks after a month of chaos in Tunisia, which saw 80 deaths and the president being toppled before fleeing into exile. Investigative journalist, Webster Tarpley, told RT, Washington wants to put new leaders in power in the Arab world to follow the U.S. agenda. Webster Tarpley.


Egypt protests organized by the US?
Protests inspired by the revolt in Tunisia have dominoed along Egypt, Yemen and Algeria with citizens calling for governmental change. Webster Tarpley, an investigative journalist, argues the CIA, and other intelligence services from the US and other former colonial powers are behind uprisings in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East.


US meddles in Egypt Protests
Tahrir Square resembled a war zone as supporters of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak attacked anti-Mubarak protesters in the second day of violent clashes in downtown Cairo. Many are calling for the United States to let Egypt figure out their future on their own. Chief Analyst for Islampolicy.com Younus Abdullah Muhammad says the United States is playing both sides and is paying off pro-Mubarak and anti-Mubarak protesters to keep the violence going.


Egypt riots: US playing both sides?
As Egyptians continue to protest throughout the country demanding political reform and the democratization of their society, what is the United States' roll in this uprising? Is the US standing behind its staunch ally President Mubarak or are Americans secretly behind the protests?

Gazans hope for free border -13 Feb 2011
Hosni Mubarak's departure raises hopes in the Palestinian enclave for an open and free border with Egypt. The fall of the regime in Egypt has raised hopes in the Gaza Strip, as Palestinians look for an easing of restrictions at the border.

Before Egypt's mass demonstrations began, it would allow up to 500 Gazans a day to enter Egypt. But these would be only patients, foreign passport holders and people who had special co-ordination with the Egyptian intelligence.

The Rafah crossing has been closed for the last few weeks and patients cannot get out of Gaza for treatment. Al Jazeera's Nicole Johnston reports from Gaza


Wealthy Egyptians fear change - 13 Feb 2011
While millions of Egyptians have welcomed the revolution that has removed Hosni Mubarak after 30 years as president, others - particularly the wealthy members of the society - fear that they have a lot to lose. In a country with deep class divisions, the rich fear they have a lot to lose in the revolution. Andrew Simmons reports from Cairo


A Nation in Waiting - 27 Jan 2011
Mubarak, then vice-president, was the only candidate to succeed Anwar al-Sadat after the then Egyptian president was assassinated in 1981. He became the fourth president of the Republic; a president who would remain in power for over a quarter of a century.

With escalating prices, record levels of unemployment and a year of unprecedented labour unrest in 2007, the government has its hands full trying to quell the public's growing unease. Promises of economic growth and a brighter future are no longer believed.

Political focus
And as the country's population of more than 74 million continues to grow, the Egyptians have been turning their focus to the political system governing them which is unable to cover even their basic needs.

An age-old pact of peace between the Egyptians and their rulers was being broken and protesters receive a heavy-handed response by security forces, an army of the president.

The 21st century saw the first multi-candidate presidential elections in Egypt


I knew Sadat (Part 1 of 2) - 29 Sep 2009
Mohammed Anwar al-Sadat was born in 1918 into a modest family in a poor village in the Nile delta.

Influenced from a young age by nationalist politicians such as Kamal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish republic, Sadat hoped to end the British occupation of his country.

He graduated from the military academy when he was 20 years old, but being an army officer did not prevent him from joining underground resistance movements.

With the second world war raging, Sadat calculated that Egypt's best chance of overthrowing British rule lay in a German invasion. In 1942, he was accused of consorting with a Nazi spy network in Cairo, fired from the army and imprisoned.

He was released from prison in 1948 and shortly after joined the nationalist Free Officers Movement, which had been founded by Jamal Abdul Nasser.

In July 1952, the young officers carried out a military coup that culminated in the overthrow of King Farouk and which subsequently brought more than 70 years of British colonisation to an end.

In 1969, Nasser, appointed Sadat as his vice-president. Within a year, he was president.

Spotlight
Sadat inherited a nation in turmoil, one whose army was still reeling from its crushing defeat to Israel in the 1967 Six Day War.

Sadat turned to the Russians in an attempt to re-build the Egyptian army's arsenal, but - unlike his predecessor - he believed it was a mistake to rely solely on Soviet backing and instead began to court the US.

On October 6, 1973, in a move calculated to attract US attention, Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal, capturing a narrow strip of land. After three weeks of fighting and with a fragile UN ceasefire in place, Sadat's grand plan came to fruition.

In November, Henry Kissinger, the US national security adviser, arrived in Cairo for talks. Agreements between Israel and Egypt were brokered and the following year Richard Nixon, the US president, visited Egypt for the first time.

A series of diplomatic efforts ensued which ultimately led to an historic peace agreement between Egypt and Israel and Sadat's highly symbolic visit to the Israeli Knesset.

Sadat stepped into the international spotlight while the whole world watched, but the Egyptian president was also being closely observed by forces within his own country who opposed his moves.

On October 6, 1981, while watching a military parade in Cairo, Sadat was assassinated by four gunmen from a militant Islamist group.

While some saw him as a visionary others perceived him as a traitor. I Knew Sadat talks to his supporters and his critics, and uncovers a life that in many ways changed the way Egypt is seen by others and by itself.


I knew Sadat (Part 1 of 2) - September 28, 2009
Through the life of Anwar Sadat, Egypt's former president, who was assassinated in 1981, and interviews with people who knew him, Al Jazeera tells the story of one of the most controversial men in history whose decisions still affect today's world.

Mysterious Mars Lecture - Dr Tom Van Flandern


Thomas C Van Flandern (June 26, 1940 – January 9, 2009) was an American astronomer and author specializing in celestial mechanics. Van Flandern had a career as a professional scientist, but was noted as an outspoken proponent of non-mainstream views related to astronomy, physics, and extra-terrestrial life. His publication of the Meta Research Bulletin was well-known in the non-mainstream scientific community. He died in Sequim, Washington after a brief battle with cancer.

Dr Tom Van Flandern: Meta Research

Early life and the US Naval Observatory
While in High School, Van Flandern helped create the Cleveland Moonwatchers organization to track satellites that gained national attention during the sputnik launch of 1957. He was still engaged in this activity when he helped found a Moonwatchers team at Xavier University. According to the Smithsonian's Astrophysical Observatory the team, under Van Flandern's direction, broke a tracking record in 1961. This early interest in Lunar Occultations paved the way for important work later in life.

Van Flandern graduated from Xavier University cum laude in 1962 and was awarded a teaching fellowship at Georgetown University. He attended Yale University on a scholarship sponsored by the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO), joining USNO in 1963. In 1969 he received a PhD in Astronomy from Yale, with a dissertation on lunar occultations. Van Flandern worked at the USNO until 1983, first becoming Chief of the Research Branch and later becoming Chief of the Celestial Mechanics Branch of the Nautical Almanac Office. Thereafter he did some consulting work, organized eclipse viewing tours, and promoted his non-mainstream views in his Meta Research Bulletin newsletter, web site, and public lectures.

Scientific work
Van Flandern's prediction that some asteroids have natural satellites, which was rejected by the mainstream scientific community, was proven correct in 1993.

A list of his main scientific publications is available through Scholar. In the latter years, Van Flandern authored and coauthored papers on what he dubbed “Deep Reality Physics". One of more popular (with about 60 citations) was his "The speed of gravity--What the experiments say" where he affirmed that laboratory, solar system, and astrophysical experiments for the speed of gravity yields a lower limit of 2x10^10 c.

This article was commented by Marsch and Nissim-Sabat but replied by Van Flandern. Carlip wrote another comment analizing the issue of aberration, only a section in Van Flandern original paper, and concluded that, contrary to a common myth, aberration was perfectly explained with faster-than-light propagations:

In the absence of direct measurements of propagation speed, observations must be filtered through theory, and different theoretical assumptions lead to different deductions. In particular, while the observed absence of aberration is consistent with instantaneous propagation (with an extra interaction somehow added on to explain the gravitational radiation reaction), it is also consistent with the speed-of-light propagation predicted by general relativity.

However, in a subsequent paper Van Flandern and Jean-Pierre Vigier claimed to found mistakes in Carlip paper already in his discussion of electromagnetic interactions and extended the discussion to quantum theory as well. Those results have been verified by several authors in recent publications.

Van Flandern expressed his views of the future of science to Science Digest magazine:
As science progresses we will eventually unravel the mystery of our origins, and the solution will come sooner if our minds are prepared to accept the truth when it is found, however fantastic it may be. If we are guided by our reason and our scientific method, if we let the Universe describe its wonder to us, rather than telling it how it ought to be, then we will soon come to the answers we seek, perhaps even within our own lifetimes.

Awards and honors
In 1974, his essay, "A Determination of the Rate of Change of G", was awarded second place by The Gravity Foundation.

In 2009, asteroid 52266 was named in honor of Van Flandern because: predicted and comprehensively analyzed lunar occultations at the U.S. Naval Observatory in the 1970s. In 1979 he published pioneering papers on the dynamics of binary minor planets. He helped improve GPS accuracies and established Meta Research to support alternative cosmological ideas.

Non-mainstream beliefs and Pseudo-science
In latter years, Van Flandern advocated inquiry into astronomy theories which he felt were consistent with the principles of science but were not otherwise supported because they conflicted both with observations and verified theories. He espoused 10 principles for assessing ideas and dubbed theories in compliance as "Deep Reality Physics."

Van Flandern authored a book, Dark Matter, Missing Planets and New Comets: Paradoxes Resolved, Origins Illuminated, in which he rejected and offered replacements for the fundamental theories of modern physics (especially special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics), and challenged prevailing notions regarding dark matter, the big bang, and solar system formation, and advocated the theory that the asteroid belt consists of the remains of an exploded planet. He issued newsletters, papers, and maintained a website devoted to his ideas, which have not found acceptance within the mainstream scientific community.
Le Sage's theory of gravitation

Van Flandern attempted to rehabilitate Le Sage's theory of gravitation, an experimentally disproved theory according to which gravity is the result of a flux of invisible "ultra-mundane corpuscles" (c-gravitons) impinging on all objects from all directions at superluminal speeds. He gave public lectures claiming that this flux could be a source of limitless energy, which he believed could be used as a means of propulsion for space vehicles ("useful for getting around in the galaxy").


Face on Mars
Van Flandern was a prominent advocate of the belief that certain geological features seen on Mars, especially the "face at Cydonia", are not of natural origin, but were produced by intelligent extra-terrestrial life, probably the inhabitants of a major planet once located where the asteroid belt presently exists, and which Van Flandern believed had exploded 3.2 million years ago. He gave lectures on the subject, usually sponsored by UFO organizations, and at the conclusion of the lectures he described his overall conception:

"We've shown conclusively that at least some of the artifacts on the surface of Mars were artificially produced, and the evidence indicates they were produced approximately 3.2 million years ago, which is when Planet V exploded. Mars was a moon of Planet V, and we speculate that the Builders created the artificial structures as theme parks and advertisements to catch the attention of space tourists from Planet V (much as we may do on our own Moon some day, when lunar tourism becomes prevalent), or perhaps they are museums of some kind. Remember that the Face at Cydonia was located on the original equator of Mars. The Builder's civilization ended 3.2 million years ago. The evidence suggests that the explosion was anticipated, so the Builders may have departed their world, and it produced a massive flood, because Planet V was a water world. It is a coincidence that the face on Mars is hominid, like ours, and the earliest fossil record on Earth of hominids is the "Lucy" fossil from 3.2 million years ago. There have been some claims of earlier hominid fossils, but Lucy is the earliest that is definite. So I leave you with the thought that there may be a grain of truth in The War of the Worlds, with the twist that WE are the Martians.

Lidah yang tergigit - Ireland bertukar pemerintah

Kerana tak pandai jaga negara, rakyat 'pe-dap' (omputeh kata fed-up) lalu undi pembangkang, selepas 14 tahun parti Fianna Fail jatuh. Berita di sini.
Begitulah yang terjadi di Republic of Ireland.
(Mamat gagap mana pulak yang namakan parti mereka 'Fail' - parti yang akan 'gagal'!)


Yang menang ialah Fine Gail dan Labour. Undi masih dikira.

Cantik juga parti bernama 'Fine' ni. Parti Lawa atau kata orang Kelantan - Parti Chome (comel).
Cuma kalau kat Singapork, 'fine' tu ada makna lain.
'Singapore is a fine city' - buang sampah, ludah, kencing tak flush, semua kena fine!



NEGARA Ireland dulu megah ekonominya.
Sehingga Singapork dan London pernah takut dengan kebangkitan financial centre mereka di Dublin. London, New York dan Singapore adalah pusat kewangan dunia yang terbesar, tapi dulu gentar apabila Dublin pandai main peranan.
Tapi selepas Greece, hancuq Ireland - atau Eire - kena bailout
Mereka malu besar dan rakyat begitu marah dengan Fianna Fail sehingga menukar perdana menterinya. Itu pun tak dapat bertahan juga.

Pandai omputeh ni. Negara mereka tak macam negara Arab - masih boleh undi nak sepak keluar pemerintah yang tak digemari. Tak payah pakai demo.

LAGU P.Ramlee - Sedangkan lidah lagi tergigit, apa pula para pengundi. Buang yang keroh, ambil yang jernih.

Sistem Bas & MRT untuk Lembah Klang

BAH. 1 = Sistem Bas saja untuk KL? Giler!

Untuk warga KL macam saya dulu, Jalan P.Ramlee tu ialah satu jalan yang kecil tapi begitu penting.
Bayangkan - sebahagian daripada jalan itu ditutup selama 1-2tahun dulu!
Hancuq trafik jam teruk satu KL, walhal kecik je jalan tu = sebelah headquarters BSN.

Nak balik kerja dulu, gerenti sangkut sejam! Saya kerja di tengah bandar KL dan menetap di Setiawangsa = 8km. Kadang sangkut tak bergerak 15minit. Nasib baik ada Amy Mastura dan Siti dalam kereta dengan saya. Juga Abba dan Olivia Newton-John.

Pagi masuk kerja tak teruk sangat sebab saya masuk 0800 pagi. Ini kerana sebagai wartawan pasaran kewangan, pasaran saham, money market, dibuka 0900, jadi kena masuk pagi lagi.
Saya pernah cerita dulu siksa bila naik BMW gi kerja - Bas Mini Wilayah.

TAPI itulah pembangunan namanya.
Mahathir masa tu sedang membina projek KLCC. Dan korek sana sini bawah tanah untuk LRT.
Dan kerana kawasan Jalan Perak (dekat Dataran Merdeka) pun nak dibuat tiang-tiang MRT, maka kat situ pun kerap jam teruk yang merebak satu bandar.
(Nasib baik masa tu belum zaman demo lagi!).


Saya tulis ni bukan apa. Rasa sedih apabila membaca laporan demi laporan di website pro-pembangkang Malaysiakini dan Insider tentang KL akan jam teruk, rakyat akan sengsara. Nak naikkan kemarahan orang tak kena tempat.

SEKARANG kita semua dah dapat kecap projek yang jam-kan satu bandar tu selama 4tahun (Sebahagian Jalan P.Ramlee di tutup 1-2tahun, tapi projek KLCC tu lama sungguh).
Jika kita takut jam kat bandar tu, kita naik LRT masuk kerja = yang merah-biru dari Gombak, atau yang kuning dari Sentul.
Atau naik Monorail, KTM Komuter, dan apa nama - itu rail ke airport.
Memang tak perfect ler, sebab inter-connectivity kurang.
Dan memang betul banyak projek ni kroni yang untung. Dah nak bangkrap, duit rakyat kena bailout mereka!

Tapi jika nak argue tentang CARA projek diagihkan, saya setuju.Agar kerajaan lebih nak dengar keluhan rakyat.
Tapi bukanlah komplen kita semua akan jadi susah dan tak boleh terima jika hidup kita sengsara, jam tempat kita teruk 2-4tahun kerana projek kerajaan ni.

DAN satu lagi. Ada pulak kumpulan yg sarankan Jangan Buat MRT. Cukup buat Sistem Naik Bas.
Kita hanya perlu adakan Lorong Khas untuk bas, dah cukup. Tak 'yah buang duit bina MRT. Eh eh!
Mamat ni dari kampung kat ceruk mana saya tak tahu.
Banyak tempat di KL = misalnya Jalan Ampang di tempat saya = hanya ada DUA LORONG masuk KL, DUA LORONG keluar KL.
Jika kamu gunakan satu lorong utk bas = maknanya dua daripada empat lorong = kereta nak jalan mana brader?
Di highway pun, baik PLUS, LDP, Duke, Silk dan sebagainya, ada tiga lorong untuk satu hala. Jika kamu tutup satu lorong saja pun, masalah besar.

KAMU lihat saja Jakarta di. Ada sistem BUSWAY. Satu lorong digunakan khas untuk bas. Mamat yang bijak ni kita hantar ke sana, bagus.
Kasi depa duduk sana seminggu, lihat sendiri sistem tu ok atau hancuq. Interview ler orang yg tunggu bas kat Jakarta tu.
Saya cover Indonesia sebagai tugas saya. Dah kerap nah baca komplen orang tentang sistem Busway ni.
Jakarta pula satu-satunya bandar besar yang tak ada sistem LRT,MRT,Monorail. Mereka cuma ada tren macam KTM (bukan yang KTM Komuter pun). Hancuq beb.

DI negara mana pun, yang boleh berjaya ialah sistem bercampur = MRT, LRT dan bas.
Kita mamat Sentul atau Cheras, Gombak atau Ampang kini mujur ada LRT.
TOLONGlah jangan komplen sangat tentang sengsara 3-4 tahun. Ini untuk kebaikan negara.

---------------------------------
BAH. 2 = Persoalkan kos projek, OK.

Saya tak syiok nak bual cerita politik Maysia ni, tapi ini cerita pengangkutan.
Sebab ramai dah komplen tentang cara MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang tu nak di'push' oleh kerajaan.

Cerita politiknya - saya teka sebagai ramai orang tentu dah teka pun -
1) PM Najib nak cepat-cepat jalankan projek besar-besaran. Agar ekonomi tumbuh besar, tauke dapat kontrak besar, rakyat dapat pekerjaan gaji besar. Sebagai project manager, engineer, kontraktor pasang wayar pun.
Juga untung makcik yg jual nasi lemak kat tepi jalan untuk pekerja kontrak; mahupun wartawan, drebar teksi, office boy, lawyer yang tidak secara langsung akan dapat tempias dari mega-project.
2) Jika banyak projek mega berjalan, rakyat akan sibuk semacam zaman Mahathir dulu - sibuk nak buat duit, tukar kerja gaji besar sikit, beli kereta,rumah baru, holiday luar negara.
Setiap mega projek merancak ekonomi, dan semua orang dapat rasa.
Projek melimpah, duit berlambak, tak kisah lagi bangsa apa pun kita, tak akan ada masa nak gaduh atau demo.

Itu yang baiknya.

Yang kurang manis ialah CARA projek diagihkan - baik MRT, pembesaran airport KLIA (nak tambah ruang untuk AirAsia), projek convention centre di Sri Hartamas, HQ baru Felda di sisi KLCC, Islamic Financial Centre dekat Pasarakyat KL, pembangunan Sungai Buloh dari ladang getah, airport Sungei Besi dan itu dan ini. Pergh!
Mana orang tak jeles.
Berbilion akan keluar, 'satu habuk pun kita tak dapat'.
Dan cara pemberian projek tanpa tender boleh dipersoalkan.
Tanyalah dengan cara baik dan dengan selidik dulu. Bukan tuduh tanpa bukti macam ada yang persoalkan isu membeli bot patrol, lepas tu kena soal balik tak tahu jawab.

SAYA bukan sokong atau tak sokong mana pihak.
Tapi kadang-kadang khuatir sebab banyak sangat isu dibuihkan di Maysia tanpa fikir panjang.

New Free Jewelry Making Project for Jewel School!



Here is this week's project for Jewel School, which I created many months ago on air. I like this one, it's simple but pretty and it's delightful on. You can get the instructions for this at the JTV blog. This is a great way to learn how to use the three channel bead board. It's one of those oft overlooked tools. You just build all three strands on both sides up to the same number and they will nestle into one another perfectly. No math required! It's terrific for Mad Men inspired triple strand graduated necklaces.

I'm off to the bead mines...tune in tomorrow when I reveal my project for the Bead Soup Blog Party!

Cheers,
Madge

Tare Zameen Per

24thFebruary,2011
Thursday
Dear Friends,
  Good Evening!
                            It's a fine and pleasant evening!
I am busy with work but there is not much stress...or I don't allow stress to affect me badly.I find happiness and  cheer in and around.
Exams are fast approaching and educational counselling is of great importance now.We have to encourage students and instil confidence in them.Praise works wonders.Children love to be appreciated.We must respect them and teach them to respect themselves.When they live with acceptance they start making friends and they love life.
It's not easy to handle children who don't have proper background like educated parents and good social cirle to move around.
The other day I had a missed call.When I called the number,my little client Vikhyat picked up.His father was out of station and the balance was only for one rupee.He was free to use mobile in his father's absence.Whenever I leave for hometown he keeps me updated about the happenings.It's a bond of love and trust.I know he loves me a lot,but I should talk about cricket,world cup and cricketers!And the is one last game I know to talk about!:)
I do take newspapers for my little clients and they are so excited to see the sports page.They start telling me stories of their favourite players.
Vikhyat loves showing me the monkeys jumping from the treetops to the tiled roof.Now the topic starts,how fast they run and all other related details.It's fun watching the monkeys jumping up and down..
Latest fim songs are always on his lips and I must say,he sings so well.I join him and encourage him.
The other day I was trying to teach something important and gave him a topic to write down.That is the last thing he would do!In between he came to me and whispered.......''you look  so nice when you leave your hair!''I could not help smiling and replied...''Tell your Mom to leave her hair''.
EverydayI am  thinking on new ways to make him understand how important  education is!:)
The other day I had a mail.It was from my little friend,Mohit who had left station due to his dad's transfer.He wants to convey,he is missing a lot... A reply assuring my love and care would have made him happy.
Now I can never forget a cute little face of a five year old boy.I used to meet him once a week and used to ask his name.I do forget names and numbers and I always had to ask him again and again.He must have been  fed up.Next time when I asked his name,he told,''What is the use of telling you, my name?Next week you will ask again''.:)I was so embarassed.....We should never underestimate these cute little friends.
Ankit spent his pocket money and bought me a beautiful black bracelt...I was so touched by his kind and loving gesture....
I was so upset when little Keiv brought the newspaper to show his beloved Dad's photograph in obituary column....the boy was lost and sad...I had to search for words to comfort him.
Girls always talk about their dolls and new dress or the new dance number they have learnt...But they are willing to learn..They pay attention...
Here are some of the ways and methods I adopt.....
I give tunes to small devotioanl songs and make them pray....
Make them undesratnd prayers do wonders in life....
To be grateful to God for all blessings!
Direct small skits for them....
And help them discover themselves....
Organise competitions in different events
Thus help them to explore and discover..
Show movies like Baby's Day Out
And make them laugh and be happy...
To have role models and to dream high..
To behave properly and be the pride of their parents...
To love and respect elders and seek their blessings...
Giving chances to address a larger group
And make them remove stage fear and instil confidence!
Giving children's magazines to read
And to widen the horizon of imagination...
Taking them for field trips and nature walks...
Thus helping them to love nature......
Narrating stories with voice modulation and actions
Reciting catchy poems and songs...
Celebrating festivals and important days,
Thus helping to be proud of our culture...
Asking their valuable suggestions
In organising programmes....
Sharing lunch and teaching to be kind.....
I am so grateful to these wonderful friends
They make my moments happy and memorable...
And now I am going to learn  cricket...
To talk about the sixers and wickets!:)
Then watch the excitement in the twinkling eyes!
My cute little friends make me smile
And bring new hopes and dreams!
They teach me new things everyday!
I am so happy in their company!
Kids are bundle of fun,knowledge and talents
They must be moulded with love and care!
Friends,love and express your love to kids...
They are Tare Zameen Per!
Please remember my young friends,
Who are going to appear for board exams
You will be always in my prayers!
Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing night,
It's Anu signing off..........
                                   Sasneham,
                                           Anu

Just Dreamin Of Spring...







Just look out the window...


See the curtains blowing in the breeze?


Can you smell the flowers?


Do you see the happy butterflies?










Isn't it funny how there is always ONE...


That stands out in the crowd.










One that just shines so bright,


You think it is the sun smiling


right back at you.










And there is that one, Yes that one individual,
 That always smells so sweet,


You know she must be HEAVEN SCENT.










And what about the ODD one in the bunch?


She dresses a little differently and has been
Known to let it all hang out.










So, just let your hair down.


Feel the wonderful breeze,


Reach out and pick a flower


Or Two, or Three. 










So My Friends,
All Is Peaceful Here In The Valley.
Hope you have a wonderful Thursday.





As always,


thank you for stopping by,


my little piece of heaven,


here in the desert,


that I so love to call home.





Country hugs and SO much love,
