Stormy weather ahead

by ParisB on August 14, 2007

Just when I thought the boat finally found its balance and was sailing merrily along, I had a crew member fall overboard. So, I’m presently shorthanded at work, which means that I’m busy. So, I apologise for the lack of updates.

I actually have a lot to say:

  • Why the Port Klang Free Trade Zone fiasco as exposed by The Sun yesterday?
  • Why am I turning off all merdeka (independence) day ads on television? For some reason, I feel nauseated when I watch them.
  • Why do I feel that  50 years of independence have actually put us 50 years back in the past in terms of integration instead of bringing us forward into the future?
  • Why do I feel that the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 is a major flop?
  • Why do I think that the building of another LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal) is a joke?
  • Why is taking the local express bus more dangerous than flying?
  • Why are our express bus drivers just grown up mat rempits (motorcycle hooligans) who speed along the roads and break the laws without caring for the safety of the passengers?
  • Why is it so hard to find decent staff these days?

But I don’t have the time to say it. So, you are excused my rantings and ravings! yay! :)

I didn’t even notice any Merdeka ads this year :P I like those Petronas ones, but didn’t see any…

Rinnah: Sorry m’dear. That was about all the time I had to rant!

Pablo: Flooded are we…

Giddy Tiger: I usually like the Petronas ones too. But I dunno. This year everyone seems to be using that old Merdeka footage thing which just turns me off

Well I’m ready to read when life affords you the time to write. K?

You know I have only seen two ads for Tour Malaysia 2007 outside of Malaysian bloggers posting about it. So not very effective if they are seeking American tourists.
