My Longkang

Hey, have you heard? If you want to make a fortune, set up toilets in Nakaru, Kenya and charge by admission. What happened? Has there been a surge in gay activities or rise in people suffering from diarrhoea?

It is the Nakaru, Kenya council’s new policy. The council authorities passed a by-law banning smoking in public places . Now they are jam packed at rush hours. Occasionally people have to queue to access them. Smoking can land you in jail or lead to a fine of up to $140 :).

Plans to build special smoking areas have met with opposition from non-smokers who brand it a waste of public funds.

What will happen if the government implements the same laws strictly in Malaysia . That will be interesting. Very interesting.

Lee Ling: I was overseas for many years. I decided to come home when my parents decided they needed some one near them as they were getting older. I am financially okay. But I found it difficult to get a mate. A match-maker paired me up with a guy who works in a timber camp. He seemed alright and we had a date. Soon, we were a pair. He is in his early forties.

Oh dear. I am so much poorer today. I sent my car for servicing and I had to shell out RM400.00. I have used it for 40000 km.

What do you see here? You are right if you say my car is bleeding or I am crying. It costs me Rm400 just to service my car. I have used it or 40000km and it has been some time since I last serviced it.

A sunset pic I took this evening.

All the government servants of Malaysia will be rejoicing today. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced today that effective 1 July, government servants will get a pay raise of between 7.5% and 35%. The cost of living allowance will also be increased by 100%. The members of the police and the armed forces will receive 20% over and above the announced increase in pay.

I learned to cycle at the age of eleven. I used to secretly cycle to the beach and swim there and come back just before dinner time. By the time I reached home, I would be totally dry anyway. No body knew of our activities.

There were three of us. They were Ah Lin, Joseph and me. Joseph had a brush with crime but has since rehabilitated and become a successful man in China. He is earning in USD so I guess he should be doing well. I met Ah Lin a few years ago. She is still active in the softball circles.

I don’t know how I suddenly remember Leslie Cheung this morning. Maybe it is triggered by stats which revealed someone was accessing my website to search for Leslie Cheung. I practically grew up watching him in the movies. I saw him more often than I saw my real relatives whom I met only at weddings.

That is what i will do doing anyway. Other ways have been suggested by bloggers on PPS but i think we haven’t reached that stage yet. Thank you.
