“..Equally disturbing are suggestions that we should be grateful to enjoy the fruits of development – the purported results of the ruling party. In fact, elected representatives who make such remarks should, by right, be eternally grateful to us for putting them in their positions.

Money for development belongs to taxpayers and certainly it is the politicians’ responsibility to implement these projects. To put it bluntly, it’s expected of them if they still want to keep their jobs.

Politicians must also be reminded that Malaysians who do not serve in the army, navy or police are no less patriotic than teachers, postmen, firemen, sportsmen or businessmen. Everyone has a role in making Malaysia what the country is today.

How we wish that some of our politicians would think before they speak. They should also not just mechanically read whatever their officials pass to them when replying to questions in the Dewan Rakyat, lest they end up with their foot in the mouth.”

the girl who gives a damn about her body, soul and the environment.


I have been reading a lot of health- related articles/blogs/websites. As I was browsing through the headlines on thestar.com, I immediately got attracted to “ Skinny Bitch- Ultimate Everyday Cookbook” and voila! there I was, sitting in front of my laptop researching about anti- inflammatory “diet”(a misnomer for the word lifestyle). I spent almost 2 hours google-ing about this topic and one thing lead to another, I ended up reading about exercise regime, how-to-run 101 etc. I personally think exercise and a healthy “diet” is in equilibrium with a happier life. It’s like a forward and backward chemical reaction. 1 mole of exercise + 1 mole of healthy “diet” equals 2 moles of happier life. haha. wokay, that is so wrong. I sounded geeky, like one of the character in TheBigBangTheory. eww, no! ROFL.
Anyway, the whole point is, I’m delighted to know, for the fact, that there are people who still thinks that skinny = sexy and beauty are both contrary terms while brains and beauty are the utmost quality that a person must yearn for. mucho love to those people!
so people!, let us all live a healthy and happy life together! It is not a bad thing and there is nothing to laugh or joke about.
~Have a good day~
