mott’s mutterings

It pains me to hear that petrol prices in Malaysia has increased by 40%! I’ve seen steady increases over the years, but the sudden surge seems indicative of a hidden agenda. While I will not comment on the political aspect of it, I wonder why these people only think of their own pockets and not of the rakyat’s?

Also, there have been promises of no-price hikes. Really? So…. staple supplies will be delivered via bicycles? Man…that cyclist will have one very painful butt. Imagine…from Johor to Perlis…can make it, ah? 

Well, like a wise man just told me, "These are things we rakyat cannot directly control. The only thing we can control is how to make more money. We have to chase money to make money".

So…what are you guys waiting for! Time to make as much money as you can! Times aren’t getting any cheaper or better for any of us.  

…And I don’t even live in KL…wakakakaakakakakaakakakakakaak! 

..a little. Ok, maybe, just a little bit more than little.

See, someone blogged about my No.1. Quite unflattering, actually. In short, the post, IMHO, concluded No.1 is a spoilt brat. I’m peeved because this person is NOT a mother. She is also single. She, IMHO, is the spoilt brat. Ok..I’m real sourgrapes..but who gives a shit!

No prize money on guessing who "she" is. And, I’m not telling either.

I’m just pissing off here. It’s my blog, iRant what iWant! I’ve got the iPod fever..forgive me!

For crying out loud, No.1 is a 4 year old kid, turning 5 this year. Of course, he’s whiny. Of course, he’s bratty. Of course, he’s noisy. Wouldn’t you be if everyone around you tried to dictate what and when you should do things?

Like pee, poop, eat, sleep, do homework, play and watching telly. 

I’m waiting till she gets a kid. I’m waiting till her kid screams, "NO!!!!!!!" in the middle of a shopping mall. I’m waiting till her kid throws all the food all over the place, smears it into their hair and tries to do bungee jumping off their high chair. I’m waiting till her kid throws a major tantrum and cries like hell as you try to drag them away from the toy shop.

Yea…I’ll be waiting. But, I won’t be smugly waiting. I’d understand..because, I’ve been there, done that. Ok..maybe just a teensy weensy smugly la!

I’ll also wait when her kid falls down hard, and all s/he ever wants is her/his mummy.  Then, hopefully, she’ll understand not to take any feelings of getting rejected, personally, when it comes to a kid.

Maybe I’m just pissy coz his brattiness reflects on my poor parenting skills. Yea..maybe he’ll turn out neurotic and become a serial killer. Yea…blame the mother. Blame the mother. For asking him to eat neatly and not play "constructively" with the rice. For asking him to pack up his toys if he wants to watch telly and not leave it lying on the floor for me to pick up. For asking him to share and not take every toy his little brother is playing with.

Yea..blame the mother for EVERYTHING LA. It’s so easy. 

I never had any good experiences with Korean people..(Southern i.e.,). I’ve heard they are the most "choe-low" people on earth. I think they just only think insularly…they don’t bother about the rest of the world (now..this applies to Kim Jung-Il, as well).

My first experience was when I was in China B.C. (before children).  We were on a boat sampan to some touristy place (in other words, place to buy trinkets for a bomb!). I was really enjoying my sampan ride, with the breath-taking scenery, beautiful cool weather and this old boat man. When I got onto the boat, I decided to sit in front with the old boat man…He looked interesting and old, weathered by the sun, singing away in his dialect, a pantun or song..I’m not sure. Out of nowhere, this Korean uncle pushed all of us to one side as he plonked his ass into what he imagined to be an extra seat for him. He shouted to the old boat man in Korean and started snapping pictures with his camera.

I was appalled. How bloody rude!

My second experience was yesterday. We went to Sri Hartamas shopping centre (only because it wasn’t crowded and had ample parking) for tea with my granma and aunt. As we stood outside Paddington’s Pancake Cafe (Ohhh..yummmy!), out of nowhere this lil boy pushed me one side. I thought I was in the wrong, so I apologised to his mummy who was rushing after him. Then suddenly the whole jing-bang family pushed all of us (granma included) out of their way as they rushed into the Cafe.  

Anyway, I was quite peeved already, after hearing them speak Korean. They were quite rude to the waiters and kept looking at what I was feeding No.2. Like as if they wanted some. Wierd.

But this was the pinnacle of the whole experience. As they were leaving, I saw them leave ON THE TABLE their precious lil boy’s Mamy Poko Nappy. Yes….a freaking used nappy on the dining table. As if their son’s urine is damn farking hygienic and clean. I was thoroughly disgusted and had to say it outloud to my aunt. Unfortunately, they no speaking english..so, they no understand la!

CHIS Bedebah!!!!!! 

*choe-low : zero manners

…drive on a Jalan Sehala (one-way road), the wrong direction, with two teeny tiny kids (unstrapped) in the car and hit another car. Is that murder?

Saw this yesterday. I don’t understand why people like taking short cuts when driving. Sure it’s a much faster way..to DIE i.e.!

..leave water in a tub/pail, your little tot puts her face in it and drowns in the process. Is that murder?

Saw this yesterday in The Star. So tragic. 

..order some dungus to blow up take another person’s life. Ah..that one..NOT MURDER. That one..ABETTING…ok Citizens of the WORLD…ABETTING!

If convicted..he will be given the death sentence. Really? You sure or not?

Hunger and water retention..not a good combo meal.
 

I had an out-of-body experience just now.

Yes, yes. Really.

Shouting at myself, "AIYOOOO!!! Why so stupid!!!!!! I will kill you one day. CHUN TEI!!!!!!".

How many times have I done this?

How many times did I remind myself NOT to EVER do it again?

I’ve lost count.

Somehow, I always have this idea that my washing machine is not your run-of-the-mill Panasonic, only can take up to 7kg load, washing machine.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My washing machine is the ultimate in all laundry solutions.

BODOH! LISTEN CAREFULLY………..

Washing machines do not have garbage disposal units for diapers!

As I try my bestest to get out all the jellied gunk from our clothes..I wanted to smash my head into the wall.

BODOH! You know how hard is it to get that gunk out? 

EEEYYYAAAAA!! I must be the dumbest motherfarker around!!!!!!!!!!! 

I’m just damn lucky the diaper had no poo in it! 

That is what No.1 says when he’s playing with his cars. He loves to create accident scenes. Of course, minus the blood, gore and carnage.

Yesterday, huge chock-a-block near the Sg.Besi entrance, from Jln Tun Razak (going towards Seremban). If you know this area, you know there is a elevated highway from The Sultan’s Palace merging to Sg.Besi Highway.

From afar, I could not see the railguards hugging that elevated highway. With a sinking heart, I knew for sure someone..”fly off the bridge and..POOM!”. It had rained earlier and of course, when you put speeding car and rain together..BAD FORMULA!

We all had to slow down… NOT TO BE PAT-POR/PAT-KONG!!! But the DBKL fellas were bz cleaning up the debris and there was shattered glass everywhere…obviously, everyone wanted to avoid it.

This accident probably happened 1-2 hours before I was there.

Today, I saw in The Star, that someone at 2.30am had crashed through that same barrier..leaving a gaping hole for the next car to fly right through.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I saw the 2nd (or maybe 3rd?) car at 5.30pm. Imagine crushing a coke can flat. Literally. The proton wira was the same. No.1 shouted, “Accident, the wira. Mama! TOW TRUCK!”.

Luckily, no blood and gory stuff. The entire backside was crushed. I think maybe the driver was lucky (hopefully) because the front seats were intact. As I passed through, I could see another driver motioning to the copper, “Dia terbang…lepas tu POOOOMP!”

Sigh!

Drive safe. Seat belts and airbags (if any) does not mean you can speed. I wonder if Ops Sikap ??# worked.
