YOU'RE FOREWARNED: YEAR OF THE RAM

The ram behind.

Herding at the cliffs.

Milking the herd.

Of locked horns.

Year of the Ram, Ottoman style. (A miniature from Hamse-i Atai: A ram scaring the copulating couple).

FLOM'S HAIRDO, 0 - 1,200RM

From bags, clothes, diamonds, hairdos, jet setting FLOM is the trend setter for the very elite. Why not? Well, she is the mother of all first ladies.

Hairdos in vogue.

Use Zam Zam traditional hair oil - to the delight of mother-in-laws as advertised!

Ala naturale

The fierce hairdo

Botakhead fashion

Curl, bonding - western style

THE ONE LEFT STANDING FOR PM

Ah Jib is going to be history soon. The worst scenario, he could be at the Bamboo River to join his comrade of early day politics.

There is one man who has learned to be patient after the 'Semangat 46' debacle and make no further political blunder. He is the man who is left standing fit to be the new PM to replace Najib.

THE YOUNG ONE, MAHATHIR

 

Mahathir akan hunus keris sekali lagi untuk menikam petualang negara?

RAZAK FRUGAL, NAJIB BASTARDIZED

(Bastardized, to borrow Nazir on NEP).

AH JIB THE D'JAY SUKA MENCARUT

Tsunami Cina (salah siapa sebenarnya?)

Kangkung jatuh harga (kangkung merata tepi jalan!)

Bloggers bayaran bangang (guna duit mana?)

Aku ceret beret E. coli (alah, orang lain lagi teruk)

Tunku pun main golf (mengapa saya tidak?)

Semua boleh main golf (nak maintain golf course murah ke?)

Sirul mengarut (terasa cili ke?)

Be competitive and not lower prices (when competitive and innovative you become efficient and could lower prices!)
Kerana mulut badan binasa

JOGINDER SINGH JESSY, CHAPMAN ... OF DAYS BYGONE

The book 'Who's Who in Malaysia" by Victor Morais which I bought at an old bookstore in Ipoh many years ago turns out to be a  gem to me. From it I came to know more of important people who had imprints in my life when schooling and even working.

Joginder was the Headmaster at Tunku Besar Secondary School. He did not spare the rod. One morning he lined us all in front of the hostel and gave the cane  for demonstrating (the previous day) for the ikan bilis and boiled egg dinner issue at the hostel!

Mrs. T. Chapman was the Headmistress of Tunku Besar Primary School. I used to see her husband at her office during lunch breaks. They have a beautiful daughter who taught English in the school. 

Robert Chapman was our Std V to VI classmate. Razali (who left for MCKK) and I played a dirty joke on him.  

Mohamad Jamil was the DG when I began working in MARDI. His daughter, Rosminah (deceased) was a classmate during Kolej Pertanian days.

I recall that at least once, my father and I went to see Taha at his house to recommend for state scholarship during my primary school at TBS. Thereafter, for a couple of years I received $20 a month, a lot of money then. I remember vividly that his habit was to read newspapers in the morning in his car parked by the roadside in Gemencheh.

Taha was killed by gunshot in a political imbroglio in Gemencheh.
