JPJ
yes! i passed my jpj test this morning after some simple and easy (no offence to the ones who failed) and am due to get my P licence in a week. but about 300 new drivers pass this test every week, so what's the big deal?
what is important is this: i was in the red little kancil with a king kong beside me when i saw some "business". the jpj official in the red little kancil in front of me turned his head to the candidate beside him and smiled. then he held out his hand, waiting for some "coffee money" (the candidate was liew, a 26-year-old chinese male who sold servers- liew said no, and he failed eventually) then, the king kong beside told me, will of kindness in his voice,
"nasib baik kau baru lepasan SPM, belum dapat kerja lagi, kalau bukan, pasti I akan mintak jugak!"
liew later told me that the idiotic *&%^#&*^@*&^$()@":@* (with full of offence) stopped him because his tyre went past the "BERHENTI" line by half an inch, and he was stopped. then the official asked the him for RM50. liew knew he was going to fail if he didn't give him but he pointed his finger and hit back, will full of offence,
"setiap bulan i bagi u 20 lebih peratus gaji saya dan lu mau ambik lagi!"
corruption in this country is getting worse and worse. looking at the location of the country, malaysia is practically protected from natural disasters and the worse was the tsunami in penang few years ago which took out about 40-50 lives. though it is deeply regretted, the amount is very small compared to the lives lost in acheh and sri lanka. earthquake, which happened in chile with the magnitude of 8.8, never happened to us either. hurricanes, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunami, you name it, we don't have it. but it is the people running the country that slowed down the advancement of the nation. if this kind of issues especially corruption and racism is not solved, the country will never be a developed even after Vision 2020, 3030 or maybe 202020.
*ps: anyone remember the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA)?

I'm my own GRANDFATHER!
Surish met Andrew at a bus stop. Surish kept complaining about family problems. Finally, Andrew said, "Listen to my situation. A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter, and we got married. Later, my father married my stepdaughter. That made my stepdaughter my stepmother, and my father became my stepson. Also, my wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law. Then the daughter of my wife, my stepmother, had a son. This boy was my half-brother because he was my father's son, but he was also the son my wife's daughter, which made him my wife's grandson. That made me the grandfather of my half-brother. This was nothing until my wife and I had a son. Now the half-sister of my son, my stepmother, is also the grandmother. This makes my father the brother-in-law of my child, whose stepsister is my father's wife. I'm my stepmother's brother-in-law, my wife is my own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew, and I'M MY OWN GRANDFATHER!!"
