I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means - Clarence Darrow, Scopes trial, Dayton, Tennessee, July 13, 1925

04.03.2007 was a big day for both me and Liza. We had our wedding on that day. I had a lukewarm feeling about it.. Well, with marriage comes heavy responsibility. Now I am enjoying my new (or re-newed, as Doris would call it) status.

Below is a Mazda 323GT (it's what the owner says, but I believe it's a Mazda MX-3 with a K8 V6 1.8L engine). Love the sound. I'm driving a Mazda with one of those Mazda K-series engines. V6s really love to sing and sing it hard and loud. Enjoy the noise!!!

Here are two questions for you:

Woke up at seven this morning. Usually I would get out of bed thirty minutes later. But this was a different morning altogether. Someone on the TV’s morning edition was talking about fuel price increase. RM0.30 to be exact. What the ..!!! I sprang out of bed almost instantly! The best wake-up call I have ever had my entire life!!! Thanks BN but no thanks.
What we need is a better living, not some fairy tales that we are among the most affluent nations, that we can achieve almost anything, that we Malaysians “BOLEH”!
All I need is a decent living where necessary stuff is affordable. All I need is a new government! Now that I regret making a wrong decision the last General Elections. I will not make the same mistake again. The government is taking us for granted, forgetting that we were the ones that chose them to be our reps. Now they are forgetting and it’s time we showed them who the boss is. What happens with the notion “Government from the people, by the people, for the people”? It looks to me like “Government from the people, by the people, but for the select few”!
They make a promise that there will be no more price increase until next year. But for god’s sake, it’s thirty sen!!! The biggest single price increase since I could remember. Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on you people who side with the government and allow them to hold you by the balls!
I can understand it if PETRONAS is losing money subsiding fuel for people. But last year they made some cool 20 billion plus in profit.
Soon there will domino effects on other consumer goods. It’s going to be ugly.. very ugly!

It's Party Time
It’s party time! Or should I say polling time? A by-election is here again, this time in Pengkalan Pasir, Pasir Mas, Kelantan. A DUN seat left vacant after the demise of the elected representative whose name I don’t bother to memorize. He was a PAS representative, winning the state seat just by 55-vote majority – or should I say margin.
A by-election is special because it is isolated from the General Election. Now all parties will get to concentrate on one small constituency. BN will be at full force to get the votes, and considering the margin that they lost to PAS in the last General Election, they will be full of confidence. PAS will bank on their Islamic image and err… and nothing else.
Whatever the outcome, the people of Pengkalan Pasir will be the beneficiary. Roads will be improved with new layer of tarmac; they will get a new hall, and so on and so forth. And Pak Lah and Najib will by now know where Pengkalan Pasir is.
To me, I am critical of the government (BN). Most of their decisions have not gone well with my version of right and wrong. BUT, I don’t think there is a political party to better them. As such, should I am to cast a vote, they are the one to get it. Or I don’t vote at all if I don't like the candidates.
