School's Out for 2012

A Rowdy Farewell

School's out for the year.

Until the term begins in 2013, I will be on long leave from tutoring at the center.

I have been toying with this idea.

Firstly, I am going on with age.

Secondly, I cannot get a replacement for my job at the tuition center.

Thirdly, I need to go back often to see my ailing father.

Yet, on balance, it seems that I will have to soldier on for yet another year as the current consultancy jobs and writing assignments are 'too variable' in nature. Some years can be good, others can be lean.

So far, God has been kind.

But, for pragmatic reasons, I will have to provide teaching materials to be center for them to take over the class when I need to take leave.

Sure it will be gratis and they do not have to pay me, too!

Grand Prize, Man!

Bringing it back in my small car was a hassle!

I was just telling my wife," Do you know at this time yesterday,we still have not won this 43 inch TV that now sits resplendently in our hall's sideboard?"

I was the last chap to sign the guest list for this function.

And my name was the last to be called and I won the grand prize.

It was not the price of the prize that matters after all TVs today are a dime a dozen.

This Plasma set was just the one before the launch of their 3-D set.

On checking, it cost RM 1,360.00.

Great to have a prize after a long, long time.

Praise the Lord!

Which Machine,my friend?

This was going around the internet for sometime.

The ATM Will do It!

The tongue and cheek line has a pot-bellied man asking a training coach what machine he should use to attract a beautiful and fit women.

His answer: The ATM!

Seduction Alvin-Vivian Style

What now, my love?

It may not be as hot as when it first exploded onto the blog screen but many are scouring the internet for the three videos.

Many were fortunate to see the couple at the climactic  heat of the moment.

Now, you may be lucky it the videos even 'open' for you to enjoy these lusty moment of hot sexual pursuit.

The sex-rape video was nothing great so I was told.

Narcissistic Cam-whores?

The oral episode was again another let down but the Last Tango in Kuala Lumpur was sexually quite aggressive  I was informed.

Apparently it was somewhere between pink and blue.

So, while Alvin  faces the Disciplinary Board of NUS, I wonder what is Vivian doing these days?

The Losing of the Pot of Del Oro

Glitter is All gone

For many, after 4 years of receiving hibah, nothing could possibly go wrong. At more than 30% annual returns, they were awashed in moolah while their poorer cousins had to tolerate the low fixed deposit regime of an average 2.8%.

To lend authenticity to their name, the company brought in the King, The First Lady Rosmah and obviously Mr Gold is God ex-PM, Mahathir at their functions.

It was all rosy as an impending Mediterranean holiday package when it all caved in. On both sides of the Causeway, Genneva was raided by the authorities.

Mama Mia! It's All gone!

Now, the Deputy Finance Minister seems to point to the fact that the operations of this company was 'all mist and mirrors' and have been operating a Ponxi scheme of sorts. Liabilities was more than assets.

For those who gave in their life-savings to these scheme ,woe betide and they may not crawl out of this hell hole forever. May be in another life!

Just like how they screwed up the Astro IPO by selling a debt ridden Astro, do not trust the Malaysian  authorities. Not the current politicians and always, not any ex-PMs.

These ex-PMs do not do magic. Not on the job, never when out of the job!

All that glitters is not gold!

Les Miserables!

T'is but a valuable lesson to learn when your nest-egg is all gone!

An Eggnest Bears Fruit

An Egg-nest in Your Hands

When my son was 4 years old, I bought into an annuity for him so that part of his educational expenses at the tertiary level will be financed therefrom.

It's that time now.

After collecting back my initial outlay, we have to be reimbursed for the fees that we have paid the university.

Growing a Future

The annuity managed by KOOP Malaysia pays out  twice a year based on  academic results.

If a beneficiary fails to make the mark, he cannot collect the next disbursement due.

Those beneficiaries that quit their courses will also lose as what is left in their account will be shifted to the residual account to support other students on longer courses.

A Small Harvest

So, my son has to work doubly hard to get this annuity payout.

Lunch and Tea at the Royal Lake Club

Grand Club

Today was a rushy day of sorts for me.

First stop was Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club to attend the Berjaya Land AGM.

Next stop-Bandar Sri Permaiuri in Cheras to bring my daughter to work.

Then its back to University Hospital for my hospital appointment.

Finally, after a bus ride and a short walk home, I was on my way to the Royal Lake Club to have lunch at the Chinese Restaurant with my friend, Mr. Lai.

Met Mr Yee, an ex-judge and Eric as well as Mrs. Lai.

We had a swell time talking about almost anything, at tea time with mocha and latte; from Chinese burials to economy shopping to studying at Cambridge.

We should meet more often.
