I was down the whole…physically, mentally, emotionally..so I turned on the TV hoping to see some nice attractive faces to cheer me up and what did I see? Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Khalid Mohd Jiwa announcing their intention to get married.

Yes…so what? Did I get national TV coverage when I got married? Was it of national interest to air it live on TV? There are thousands of other more important stories, things that are happening within Malaysia itself. Those things deserve to be on national TV. I think people would be more interested if they aired live Tun Dr Mahathir’s comment on the classical declassification of the letters between his good self and the Singaporean leaders. That would have been in the interest of the nation.

I’m not against them getting married. If yes, fine. Go ahead. Make 12 children for all I care. First they denied. Then they said maybe. Now, it’s a week from now. And they had to announce it on national TV. Why can’t they just make a press conference and air it as a filler within the entertainment segment of the prime time news instead of having to endure two hours of non-sensical “sensational” news?

Every single artiste had a big wedding. This would be, by my count, Datuk Khalid’s second marriage. I just hope they don’t go on air again if things don’t work out like the other artistes. I wish them well. So just get it over with, stop the charade, and get off my TV screen.

Age. Fac ut gaudeam!

This is Steve, my buddy. He is now a global player and is frequently mentioned in some International website. I am so happy for him that he is now a world-renowned person and has worked hard to maintain good international relations.

Soldier on, buddy. And for all his efforts, do give the man a clap.

Well, my malay friend who claims to be a relative of Jay Chou, and goes by his chinese name 你看甚麼 now has his own blog.

You can read it at Daddy In The City or click on the link in the bar on the right side of this page.

It’s been stormy for the past two nights in a row.

I know the weather is clear outside. I didn’t say it was outside.

Here we go again. Crude oil prices have gone up by US$2.00 per barrel over the past 3 days.

Israel has now bombed Beirut’s suburbs.

The United States of Apathy, has yet again in the show of power, vetoed a UN Security Council’s resolution to ask Israel to halt its offensive in Gaza.

According to CNN, the proposal also demanded that Palestinian militants release the Israeli soldier abducted June 25 in a raid in Israel and stop launching rockets at Israel from Gaza. In addition, it called on Israel to release Palestinian government officials and lawmakers it took into custody after the soldier’s abduction.

Ten nations on the council voted in favor of the resolution, and four abstained.

John Bolton, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said that “in light of the fluid events on the ground,” the United States believed the Qatar-sponsored resolution was untimely and out of date, and would have helped inflame passions in the Middle East.

The Organization for Islamic Countries (Oh,I See!) has issued a statement as follows:

In the wake of the recent ravaging foray into Lebanon causing extensive damage and scores of deaths among innocent civilians as a result of the indiscriminate bombardment of Lebanese residential areas and civilian infrastructure installations, Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary-General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), strongly condemned the Israeli aggression against Lebanon, describing it as disproportionate, haughty, wanton, and perpetrated in total disregard of international humanitarian laws and civilized norms.

In this context, the Secretary-General has sent an urgent letter to the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Anan, expressing deep concern and profound preoccupation at the alarming Israeli escalation.

He called on the UN Secretary-General to see the new Israeli assault for what it is, in the broad context of the root causes of the conflict in the Middle East, as an action that is of a nature to undermine and destroy all efforts so far exerted to find a peaceful and negotiated settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian plight, in particular.

The OIC Secretary-General also called on the UN Secretary-General to exhort the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), as the sole international organ entrusted with restoring peace and security in the world, to urgently intervene in order to stop the present escalation of killing and the blood-letting and move for the instauration of an immediate cease-fire.

Yes, tell that to the militants who are giving Islam a bad name, too!

There is one thing that people should learn, time and time again, that “an eye for an eye will soon make everyone blind.”

The Israelis should halt its offensives, the militants should release all Israeli hostages, and the all-impotent OIC should send in its peacekeeping troops to the Middle East instead of looking as usual saying, “Oh, I see!”.
