The "no water notice" disgusts me. Yesterday I received a notice from the JBA of Kedah. Mentioned that "Gangguan akan terganggu selama 12 jams iaitu dari jam 9.00 pagi hingga jam 9.00 malam pada 18hb.Februari 2007(Ahad) ini desebabkan oleh kerja-kerja pembaikan paip air utama 200mm dan 150mm di kawasan perusahaan Kulim." It would affect many areas and estates.
I just can't understand why they particularly chose to give a large number of Chinese community "a no water" present (hardship) on the 1st day of the Chinese New Year. Is that the head of JBA Kulim "no brain" or is that the celebration of CNY "not being respected"?
Haai! What to do when facing such kind of boar-ing thing made by the pig-headed administer. I'm yet to choose between 1) Store water for CNY usage; 2) Flee to my daughter's house for CNY festivity.

Is God the ultimate arbiter?
I was reading intensively these few days about the Vatican enraged by magazine's confessional expose which was reported by Reuters on Jan 31.
Differences between official Roman Catholic doctrines and what priests told Mr Riccardo Bocca, an investigative reporter for L'Espresso, were had been found after a series of fake confessions.
Over the issue of euthanasia, a priest told Bocca not to worry too much because God would be the ultimate arbiter.
In another confessional box he faked being HIV positive and was told by a priest that whether or not he used a
condom in order not to pass the virus to the woman he loved was "a very personal matter of conscience".
On homosexuality, one priest told him: "Well, homosexuality is a tendency which is a valid human expression. There are even homosexual priests and lesbian nuns." Asked if he should openly declare his homosexuality, the priest told him: "Generally the best thing to do is to be yourself. Come clean. Do what the English call ’coming out’."
The Church teaches that homosexuality is not a sin but homosexual acts are.
I've also hopped over to read the related forum regarding to "is masturbation a sin?"
But then, I'm blurred in the din of the sin world over this equation - using of condom = masturbation = prostitution = homosexual act = the sin of wasting seed.
Would god by then be the final arbiter considering sin or sinless of these acts!

Don't bend (distort) the history!
We found ourselves too tired or else too lazy to cook our dinner last evening. So we had "ta pau" 2 packets of our favorite - "Tiong Kok Sharkfin" (fried meehoon naming in an accredited way by Hokkianese) to fill our stomaches as dinner.
Usually the package's covering is an old newspaper pieced with an inner layer of plastic paper in which this kind of food is wrapped. And it has been my habit to read the wrapping paper simultaneously while taking my Tiong Kok Sharkfin.
Although the news are outdated, sometimes they're just quite entertaining. And this evening was not the exceptional. Hence I found this piece of news dated 02/10/06 fanciful and interested - The story about the critique made by Dato Cheah of Penang Kheh Association against the DCM of Penang, Dato Haji Abdul Rashid bin Abdullah, over the issue of bending the history of Penang.
According to the critique, Abdul Rashid had has in one occasion days before cited irrespectively that the founder of Penang was not the Captain Francis Light (1740-1794), but it was Dato Kanaden (name is assumed as it's since I don't know "mat sooi" he is) who had come to Penang earlier than Light. Cheah uncompromisingly argued that if the perspective of who-is-who the first comer would be entitled as the founder, were to be taken into consideration. Then how about his 3 named ancestors, who had been landed into Penang 4 years prior to the arrival of Kanaden!
"Kanasai!" My noesis of history which was learnt some 40 years ago, has been tought back to teacher already. But what is still I can remember is, Penang was found by Light. Right? And also I can remember there are Light Street, Beach Street, Pitt Street & Chulia Street in Penang.
Perhaps one day, Light Street will be called as Kanaden Street!
Actually, it's none of my business of whether the founder of Penang was Kanaden, Kanasai, Brown or Black. Therefore as usual, as soon as I've had finished enjoying the reading, my delicious Tiong Kok Sharkfin do finish simultaneously. So it has energized me for the enthusiasm to bring up this little news to share with you!
