3 more weekends to go...

Yup, weekend#2 for Dec is here. Tomorrow is Dec 8th. Time to spend weekend in Penang...mainly to attend a wedding dinner. Maybe some window shopping, in the process?

Weather has been wet since yesterday. It was raining on & off. Today it has been drizzling...also on & off. No heavy stuff tho. What me learnt in Geog & theoretically is that this is the North-east monsoon period. But it's raining in the North & South of the Malaysian peninsula! Flooding has started in Johore. Maybe they should rename this the "North-South"monsoon! Ha ha!

B4 me forget, our heartiest congrats to our niece down under who gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby boy...Wesley HC. On Dec 6 @12:05am. Both Jaz & J deserved their long-awaited little bundle of joy...and proud loving parents they will be for little Wesley. Wish we could hv been there to share your joy. Tks a meg for sharing that moment with us over here then.

To turn a bit to current issues, kinda feel everyone should cut down on rhetorics on the Hindraf issue. Like the saying goes...the less said the better it is for everybody! Cos that's how issues get heated up, views & perceptions get blown out of proportion and matters get out of control. Politicians trying to gain politcal mileage by making themselves heard...trying to be the champions they are not.

Imagine the issue now becoming as serious as this...as reported in The Star today... :

There are signs lately that the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) is trying to garner support from terrorist groups, the police charged yesterday.

And in Sun2Surf, this was reported to be said by the Sec of the Police Force :

... that Hindraf had fleeced Indians who turned up at their illegal rally on Nov 25 when they did not hand over a petition to the British High Commission although they were given the opportunity to do so by the police.

Hmmm...

Would some right-thinking calm but strong leader come out and put a stop to all this? If Hindraf is really doing what they are doing and if there is concrete evidence of it, just take action. Simple as that. Everybody who feels they are somebody is shooting at anybody whom they feel is against them. And the innocent ppl, the common ppl, are now caught in the crossfire. What's thus happening now is getting no one no where...

Have you tried to listen to or watch the national news channels for the past 1 week or so? You got it right!

I remember a famous quote that goes something like this :

Let he who has not sinned throw the first stone.
Well, politics will be politics. Not something nice. My 2sen. Let's have the opportunity to enjoy what God has given to Man...

PEACE.

Btw, me opened up the timing belt cover of my ole junk just now & did a visual chk of the condition of the belt. Appears ok...to my inexperienced eye, that is. Had planned to change it this morning but my other half felt it's too near in time to our Pg trip scheduled for tomorrow. More risky in case of any untoward problems arising from the change ops. Now resheduled to after the trip...
Wish me luck there! No news would be great news! Bye bye...

ps. Me will be offline for the weekend & maybe more...hehe...
