the "HEATTY" and the "COOLING"
you know what... i could never understand the chinese concept of how some food is "liang" (cooling) and some are "juak" (heatty)
take for example the watermelon. the watermelon is such a cold and juicy fruit especially if you eat it straight from the fridge. but apparently its bloody heatty. coconut water is apparently very cooling so its good for a sore throat. but take to much, it will be to "cooling" and cause you to have an asthma attack if you are an astmatic.
anyway, i met up with this old uncle, whom we call uncle Semut, during CNY. Uncle Semut is an old and close family friend. he is the typical old fashion chinaman who when sick, will rather see a bomoh and a sinseh than seeing a doctor for medical help. he told me he dont trust doctors (i guess thats why he holds on to his wallet for dear life whenever im around).
Uncle Semut has a habit of drinking a bottle of warm Stout everyday for health reason. two weeks before CNY, he developed a bad sore throat but refused to see a doctor. the sore throat persisted for 2 weeks and showed no signs of getting better. he could speak but found eating really painful.
so he decided to consult his panel of experts (sinseh la itu). Uncle Semut was told that it was his habit of drinking stout everyday, which is very very heatty, that is the cause of the sore throat for persisting. they advised him to drink beer instead which is cooling. so that night after dinner, Uncle Semut drank two big bottles of Carlsberg to cool his heatty body.
the next day he couldnt speak a single word.
and so Uncle Semut duly went back to drinking stout and got back his voice two days later.

Read this link
this is a good article i read over the net. the opposition party could make do with some of its suggestion.

local media making me Tu-Lan
i have a close friend with whom im in daily contact who told me that of late i looked and behaved rather iritated.
why not "tu-lan!!"
i start and end my day by reading the newspaper. and i get so iritated because of the unfair coverage of the coming election. this is to be expected la since NST, Berita Harian and Utusan are owned by UMNO and The Star the MCA. however you still feel that there should at least be some journalistic integrity among the editors.
the media seems to overhyped the fight going on within and among the opposition parties namely the DAP. tell me where in the world when there is an election, the individuals from among the same party wont jostle for the right to contest a seat. it happens everywhere including BN. the only difference is that the local media tends to blow out the issue whenever it concerns the opposition.
the BN also have their own in fighting (eg: Kayveas PPP claims for taiping seat despite the people not wanting them, PPP claims for more parlimentary and state seats, power struggle between Perlis MB and his UMNO konco, MCA veterans 'advised' to withdraw, Kelantan UMNO all fighting for a parlimentary seat and not a state seat, Gerakan candidates figthing for the Penang CM post, Langkawi UMNO against Mahatir's son contesting there etc etc....
whenever the opposition has a disagreement on seat allocation its called as "in-fighting" or "power struggle." but when it comes to the BN its all about "lobbying." way before the PM announced the dissolution of the parliment, you always read of BN leaders coming out and saying, "don't lobby" or "stop lobbying" or "lobbying is unhealthy." this just shows you how bad the in fighting within the BN circle is.
if the news articles are not enough, even letter to the editors are inundated by letters from pro-BN readers and sms-es. in the 2004 general election, BN might have won 199 parlimentary seats BUT they only managed to win 63.8% of the votes with the opposition garnering 36.2% of the votes or 20 seats. so if you are going to publish politically motivated letters there should be equal proportion to it. but no anti BN letters are ever published. None. how not to be iritated like tat.
in the Star, they even published 3 letters, from this guy called victor chew, all of them condemming the inefficiency of the opposition. have any one of you tried sending a letter to a newspaper for any reason at all?? do you know how hard it for your letters to get published due to space constraint. but here we have a pro Bn individual having 3 of his letters published in a period of less then 2 weeks during the election period.
KNN!!!

My encounter with the MCA
for those who dont know me, im a hardcore DAP supporter since they day the doctor who delivered me cut off my umbilical cord (by the way, the doctor who delivered me is a MCA member). my first act of protest against a figure of authority was to pee on the doctor for spanking my arse.
so when a family friend offered me a job ( PAID job)with the election machinery of a MCA rep who is running for a state seat, i turned it down without thinking twice. which pissed my mom off who felt i should take it just to earn some pocket money. after few hours of fishing (trying to catch some haruans in an estate river but only managed to catch lots weed and mosquitoe bites) i thought i'll give it a try. thought i can come a 'spy' lar and learn how the mca does their work so that in future if i want run for election, i would know how the enemy works. plus i heard they pay rm50/day which is good money.
so i went there at 10am today i waited till nearly 2pm before i met the rep. in between i helped out by carrying some stuff and fixing the fan for them. they offered me lunch which was char seoh fun. during lunch there were two very pro BN ppl sitting down beside me and condemming the DAP with their political rheotorics. i would have transformed into Incridible Hulk and smashed them and the entire place up if it were not for the sweet crunchy char seoh and seoh bak in my mouth.
they asked my to join them for a group photo but i declined but they were very insistent(like all lousy insurance salesmen are). i gave in with a heavy heart and chose a standing spot behind a guy who is sitting.
as i stood there in shame i could imagine kit siang crying at my betrayal and thinking of my own future in the DAP when suddenly the guy in front of me handed me a small barisan flag to hold. i tried to hide it behind his head when he turned and said, "eh hold high high and wave. this will be in the papers tmrw and your name will be on it. dr justine tan. glamour ah. ppl support us even more."
Humilition completed....
then i thought, well at least the rm50/day will help ease the pain when the guy dropped a bombshell and told me they were only looking for volunteers and not paid workers and im most welcome to volunteer with them.
KNN kena conned.
