Sour grapes.


Assemblywoman and boyfriend broke up recently and he has moved abroad.


KUALA LUMPUR: Was it the work of a spurned lover?
This is one of the leads in the investigation into the "kiss and tell" episode involving PKR Bukit Lanjan state assemblywoman Elizabeth Wong (right) which surfaced on Sunday.

Photographs of Wong, who is also Tourism, Consumer Affairs and Environment executive councillor, are being circulated and those with knowledge of the incident are pointing fingers at her former lover. The two allegedly broke up recently and he was said to have moved to another country.

Wong has refused to speculate, although several reports quoted her as saying that it was her in the photographs and that the pictures were taken in her bedroom.
Wong, who lodged a police report after being told of the photographs, apparently taken with a camera phone, called the entire episode an "intrusion of privacy".
Photographs made available to the New Straits Times showed Wong asleep with her glasses on and another of her in bed with her eyes closed. She was partially covered with a sarung.
The incident sparked an outcry from politicians from both sides of the political divide with most alleging that it was a clear-cut case of "intrusion of Wong's privacy".
Selangor opposition leader Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo, however, contended that Wong must resign from all her positions.
Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said the state executive council meeting on Wednesday would discuss the incident.
"I am waiting for the police report. We will be discussing this incident at the state exco meeting on Wednesday," he said at the Parliament lobby yesterday after attending the opening of the new Parliament session in his capacity as the Bandar Tun Razak MP.
"I think it would be unfair to make any decision at this time without proper information as it could be misconstrued as someone trying to frame the victim.
"The best we can do is to urge the police to investigate the matter properly," he said.

Never wrong.
Malaysia political scenarios is really good. Now the people are offered with this yet another juicy story.
And after reading about sour grapes that emerged out of relationships-gone-wrong sectors, i wonder whether does she really know this guy well before 'inviting' him to her bedroom?
So, should we blame the poor woman for her carelessness?
Or blame the guy for being such a dork and sour grapes?
Or perhaps blame the only thing that cannot answer us back but can gives us pictorial details?
And perhaps, the only thing one can blame is the technology itself?
We just cannot trust no one anymore.

Hmmm.....

PM Wants MPs To Suggest Measures To Tackle Economic Woes.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 16 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has asked all members of parliament to come up with appropriate recommendations to tackle the economic slowdown when debating the motion of thanks on the address of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin starting tomorrow.

Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (BNBBC) information chief Ahmad Maslan said the prime minister told members of parliament that their recommendations could be included in the mini budget to be tabled by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on March 10.

"The prime minister stressed that we need to give emphasis on the economy as the world is facing a slowdown."He wants us to share our views and experience in our respective areas in tackling the economic problem," he told reporters after attending a briefing session with the prime minister Monday.The second session of the 12th parliament was opened by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong today.-- BERNAMA

I read this with so much amusement.

"He wants us to share our views and experience in our respective areas in tackling the economic problem"

I wonder does he really need that.
I mean like most of the people who are in the 'know' knew that he received direct instruction from the Level 4 chaps besides his son in law, but could this also be his gimmick in portraying that he does listens to his subordinates.

Then again, on the other hand, wasn't he paid to be the Prime Minister, the person that should be doing most of the thinking whatnot?
Or perhaps he couldn't care less because he just could not care less?

Sprituality

I have been 'away'.
I have been preoccupied with certain thought and feelings.
It has been enveloping me for this past weeks.

I tried to rectify the matters but i know it must have been the aftermath of reading one spirituality book.

I am trying to relate things in my life; my past to my current one.
And i must agree that something that happened and is happening to us in our life are related to something that we know the reasons why, or might not know, realised or will not even know about it at all.

I have been into this kind of thought off and on.
I must say that it is in me and perhaps most people too.
It is unlike telepathy. It is just much deeper and endless, but it gave you sort of fulfillment and the feeling of peacefulness.
This is what that was thought in Islam, in one of the deep study. It is mentioned that one must know himself first, than he would know his creator.
It is getting in touch with ourselves.

It is mentioned that even what we ate, what we do and what ever it is spinning and coming back to us does in fact have its own reasons.
Just like why we were born and alive on this earth now today. Things just didn't happen without a reason and finding the reasons is the way to find our inner self. This is what we deal with when come to crossroads one point of time in our life.

Hence to take notice of all these feeling and thought, we have to be connected to our spiritual instinct. The senses that God had gave us all. Either we use it, rely on it or ignore it completely.
My other word would be God's given advantages to us human being. The sixth sense some all it. The hunch and what ever term they have.
Nevertheless, animal do have their own instinct too, but not spiritual I'm sure.
We will be running mad with questions should we stumbled upon our pet cat saying prayers wouldn't we.....

But this instinct is the one that help us moves on to our life no matter what may happen to us. It will help us break free from any sort of disgruntled emotions, help us pick up the pieces and start walking back in the right path, and the one that will be the utmost assistance in helping us not to cracked and breakdown.

Come to think about it, those who cannot reached to this spiritual emotions in their own self are those that you will find in asylum, walking endlessly by the roadside talking and laughing to themselves and this includes murderers and rapists.



To be spiritual is to live a life and be in touch and connected to our inner self.
Our inner sense, thus we will become aware of our surrounding and of the life that we're in now no matter where we are right at that moment.

The other thing about touching your inner self is you will be more alert and fast and deeper in thinking. Mind you, it also help in combatting bad temper in my case!
