SeaDemon Says

Someone did not quite understand my previous posting.

One of the things I did..well, the first thing I did when I was first heartbroken was to grab hold of a dinghy and rowed as far out to sea as I could and hoped for some strong surface current to help me from thereon.

The sea will keep me.

And I am going back to it.

There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we share
But the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there
There were cupboards of patience
There were shelf loads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there
After today, consider me gone

After today, consider me gone

I wonder if a busybody called Shikin is reading this now.

If you are, go buy a dildo and entertain yourself instead of adding fuel to fire.

No wonder you and her love politics.

POLY = many TICS = blood-sucking parasites.

It was a year ago that I wrote “Hey, I’m 40”.

The sun set just now as I was driving towards TTDI from PWTC after the end of the third day of MIDE 2007, signaling the end of the 40th year of this miserable life of mine.

Yes, miserable.

To tell you the truth, there have been several times that I’ve wanted this life to end. If happiness is what I cannot have, then I shouldn’t be here. I think I’ve been in more depressions than I have had happiness. Seven years ago people always wonder why I always open my parachute low after removing the automatic opening device from the reserve chute. Two years ago when the wife chose to do long distance quarrel from Beijing, I did three decompression dives in a row all in a day but never did any decompression stop and my buddies Dennis, Yusmar and Mervyn were horrified because towards the end I was so narced that I saw a pink Great Barracuda behind Dennis and Mervyn.

It is a bad thing cause the sport I love to have bad publicity just because of me. So I simply drive fast nowadays. I keep telling my wife that it is probably due to the fact that whenever I leave the house I come home in one piece that she takes me for granted, thinking that everytime I go out of the house, I’d come home alive or in on piece. Oh, there were several close calls when, in anger, I replied to her SMS and almost drove off the highway.

It’s 22 minutes to the end of my 40th year of suffering.

I don’t want to go through another year, please.

Time to relax a bit and talk about the world other than my own.

No, I’m not going to talk about Altantuya or C-TOS. I’m going to talk about global politics this time.

Recently there was a spate of terrorism acts in the UK. The UK authorities have done a good job in arresting suspects, and Muslim leaders in the UK were correct in distancing themselves from these extreme idiots and denouncing their acts. The acts, including the ramming of a passenger terminal at Glasgow’s airport, came as a surprise to the British authorities. However, it was revealed later that the US Department of Homeland Security knew about the imminent attacks on British soil, but prefered not to inform the new government led by Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Welcome to the real world, Mr Prime Minister.

George W Bush was busy courting Vladimir Putin, that he invited the latter to his family home. It was an ad-hoc summit to discuss the working relationship between the US and the Russian Federation. The US was more interested in getting the Russians to play game in applying economic sanctions against Iran, while the Russians wanted to say their piece on the encroachment of US Missile Defence Umbrella in the former Eastern Bloc countries such as Poland. In the end, it is suffice to say that the summit ended miserably with a no-tie result.

Russia has everything to gain by NOT supporting the US stance. By supporting Iran, Russian has a card to play against the seemingly hegemonic approach provided by the US Foreign Policy. By supporting Iran, too, it would seem that Russia will have a plus point with the other Islamic countries, save for the ones under US “rule” such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and a few others. And by doing so, Russia can get support from the Islamic world, in ending the separatist terror in Chechnya and other minor Muslim republics. It is not that far-fetched, and Russia knows this.

Iran, too, has been playing its international cards correctly. It has cemented a anti-US pact with Venezuela. Ahmedinijad and Chavez both announced a US$2 billion rollover fund to counter US economic pressure n the two countries. And the Organisation of African Countries recognises these two countries’ effort in being non-aligned with the US.

So, it would be interesting to see this development as it goes along. We’ll see who will have the upper hand.

Here you go…one of the Transformers.

I wrote the following in a political forum this morning after having completed a political speech for someone:

Apabila wang menjadi tuhan
Maka diri tiada bernilai
Yang kaya bertertawaan
Yang miskin hampas tersadai

(When money becomes the aim
Self-dignity goes down the drain
The rich cling on to their fame
The poor continue to wallow in pain)
