Saya ANTI Rasuah...Yeah Rite !!!

It has been a while since I was stopped by a police officer and handed over a ticket for anykind of traffic offence (not those online or registered post samans).

This time there was no way to hide, but the thing is I was kinda pissed that he stopped me over an offence committed along MRR2 on the way back home.

No....not for speeding, but for talking on the mobile phone in less than 10 sec. The conversation was..."Hey, I am driving...call you later"

Yes, I committed an offence under the Malaysia Law, but personally... I still think these highway robbers should have done a better job by clearing the traffic jam during rush hours, manning the traffic rather than go rounding for some fast money.

So when I was caught, he politely greeted me "Selamat petang Encik, tadi cakap handphone ya...salah tu. Tolong tunjuk lesen..." After a few moments of 'interview session' as expected he asked..."So, boleh bayar saman tak? RM300 saman...mahal tu"

Indirectly everyone in Malaysia knows exactly what they are asking for... As I was determined not to give in, I answered without any hesitation and said "Pakcik, you saman saja lah...cepat sikit, I kenal orang dalam balai... I nak pi hospital bedah orang ni"

Obviously I was handed a ticket for my bruised ego. Needless to say I am hurting now knowing that I am going to pay for these unnecessary expenses. Talking about bruised ego! Damn it !!! Should have paid him RM50 instead of RM100 that I have to pay through my agent now...

Year of Earth Rat 2008 - Good or Bad ???

I received my Chinese Forecast for the coming Chinese New Year from my colleague.

Career

The year of the Earth Rat sees the reaping of many rewards for the hardworking Rooster! There is a potential of an increase in salary, recognition and more responsibilities. Therefore if you are able and ready to give your all come career, you will be instrumental in your company advancement this year and will be duly rewarded. The Rooster is blessed to such as extent that you will attract those of power to question your validity, but not to worry - you will only come out smelling of roses from such incidents! Self-employed Roosters will find those below you become very astute to your wants and work progress is smooth running. It's your job to capitalize on this as much as you can and take some time to carefully delegate tasks.

Wealth

You will be able to overachieve your dreams this year, Rooster, but it all depends on you. If you are ready to take on more than usual and work extra-hard, you can definitely make it big this year! This is because your stars will provide all the opportunities you need, as well as individuals who will be all too happy to help you - the next step to make it really happen, then, lies on you, Rooster. Rooster people who have their own businesses should expand or branch out this year.

Relationship

Singleton Roosters will have a good time this year, with excellent Love luck on your side. You will have opportunities in meeting lots of people you will like, but in order for a relationship to happen the Rooster will need to make the first move! Married or attached Rooster people will enjoy a renewal of passion that will put an extra spring into your step, therefore make use of this lovey-dovey year to enjoy holidays that makes unforgettable memories.

Health

The Rooster will be healthy and strong this year. But, your family members may get sick this year, especially those who are in senior years. Take them to full medical checkups this year to be on the safe side. Aside from this, the drinking Rooster should cut down the alcohol intake since there is a potential for liver problems this 2008.

Basically it is a very good year for me, but it doesn't seem so to me at the moment as I really have no idea why my life is currently so miserable. I don't know why of all the people I am the chosen one. I am nobody, I am just a normal person who doesn't deserve all these kind of 'business-related' pressure.

Yes, I got a very good increment in my salary and I have a promising career in my current company. But the old man's craps are really killing me softly...Sometimes I just wish whenever I am flying, the plane just crash down and I am a dead person :(
