Musings of Suresh “Great Baron” Jeyaverasingam

So we have a Malaysian British man whose wife was treated rudely by the Malaysian High Commision in London. They they went to apply for British passports and now they have complained to the Malay Mail hotline.

Fast forward a day later we have the Foreign Ministry’s Secretary General instructing our top envoy in Britain to monitor their staff. Readers have also complained about the disrespect showered upon them by Malaysian High Commision officials to them…despite being Malaysians! Apa Macam ??

Well my advise, you already got the British passport…take it. Why want to fight for a Malaysian passport. Come back to Malaysia for a holiday…besides…on the street no one can tell you whether you’re a Malaysian or a British citizen unless you have a very distinct Mat Salleh accent. Enjoy the platter which was given to you.

My two cents.

Fancy getting a Waja or Perdana at less than half price. Head over to Indonesia. Click here for news.

Just finished one assignment…There’s a quiz tomorrow…Sigh…Groan..mumble mumble…..And not that’s not all there’s an adjustment calculus assignment on tuesday which I just found out to have tons of errors….Sigh…Life beautiful one day and grim the next.

Sigh….I was really hoping to sleep early this week (and today as well). Got to get back to studying for the quiz but here I am writing this post. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

1 Down, 4 More to go.

Note: If there are spelling mistakes on the post, kindly correct me. I have to admit, I was a bit lazy to do a lookup on the correct spelling of places. Thanks. Oh my laziness is justified, been sleeping at 3 am only to wake up at 8 am to go to school and no it’s not about partying…nay….much more solemn..yeah freaking assignments!

This post by the Star is interesting. Malaysia may be one of the few countries in the world to have a Hotel cum Medical Facility. It means you can get medical treatment and at the same time have your relatives(or even you) to stay at the adjoining 3 star Hotel. The best part is that this new concept is run based on Islamic principles. The Director of the hospital has assured that non muslims would be accepted into the hospital and would be treated as any other normal hospital patients.

Hmm…really interesting development. In a way, such development is good as it enables people who are particular about their beliefs to be treated according to their customs. And it would no doubt cement Malaysia’s position as a champion among Islamic countries. I hope they don’t abandon their hipprocratic oath and start discharging their duties dicriminately.

A good development for Malaysia, nevertheless this kind of enterpreneul spirit is definitely lacking at home. So what’s next ? A health package that follows the Hindu principles (actually we already have it, it’s called Ayurveda) , Buddhist principles ? or a combination of health,recreation and pilgrimage(If you’re hindu; to South India, for muslims ; to perform Haj and if you’re a Christian; to Bettlehem (sp) or Jerusalem) ?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for alternative medicine. Modern medical science is still not able to cure all the worlds diseases despite undergoing tremendous advancements over the past 100 years. Alternative medicine with collective knowledge that predates modern medical knowledge is still viable today and will still be for many many more moons(or possibly eons) more to come.

Darn..I wrote the post below and for some reason, blogsome failed me. What’s happening to blogsome…Anyway..hope it doesn’t happen often.

This week has been a crazy week. Been tasked with so many assignments. I would be having a quiz on land administration next week.

The good : Been given the topics before hand,
The bad: Only 1 would be coming out hopefully the ’simple’ one comes out.

There’s always a catch right….And We would be getting more marks if we can dissect the underlying principles from real life issues…Ah…..not so elementary eh.Dear Watson.

And Rajan did the tag

Woohoo….Btw…I’m at the same age as you Rajan(I think). Anyway….I guess calling me thamby means a compliment that I’m young….I’ll take it that way irrespective of your original thoughts…:-)

Another pleasant surprise. Z (remember the one who has a spyder fetish; he has a cool looking spyder - very techno…if there is such a word to describe it..as the main image for his blog, that’s why I said he has a spyder fetish..no hard feelings Z) also did it. Yay! His tag is here.

I got the post below from my e-mail. It’s all about having wits. I guess in life, sometimes when we’re dealt with a cruel blow or when facing with what seems an impossible situation, its good to sometimes step back (not too long though) and face the situation by thinking differently.

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her
faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company. One day the poodle
starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that she’s lost.
Wandering about, she notices a leopard heading rapidly in her direction with
the intention of having lunch. The old poodle thinks,

“Oh, oh! I’m in deep shit now!” Noticing some bones on the ground close by, she
immediately settles down to chew on the bones with her back to the approaching
cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly,
“Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around
here?” Hearing this, the young leopard halts his
attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into
the trees.

“Whew!” says the leopard, “That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!”

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree,
figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from
the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the
leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon
catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself
with the leopard. The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says,
“Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving
canine!” Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back
and thinks, “What am I going to do now?”, but instead of running, the dog sits
down with her back to her attackers, pretending she hasn’t seen them yet, and
just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says:

“Where’s that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another
leopard!”

Moral of this story… Don’t mess with old farts…age and treachery will
always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and
experience!

I would be very busy from now on. I’d still blog but perhaps not as often. Studies comes first but do keep on checking like every 3 or 4 days. There would be a post up atleast once a week.

I enjoy reading the contents of this site. It was made by a retired army officer, Major D.Swami chronicling his experiences in the army and that of his regiment as well as stories about our great warriors who are prepared to lay their lives so that we can live peacefully.

Check out the site.

I was tagged by centerpide(Prashant) to tell the world about 7 things I like. Dear ol’ centerpide said something about a hex on those who don’t complete it…so since I want tons of good luck(oh dear god…pretty please…give me a million dollars), I’m going to do it anyway.

Seven things you plan to do before you die

1. Getting and then Staying Rich!
2. Being surrounded by beautiful girls in the skimpiest of clothings
3. All of them are attending to me in the most imaginable /unimaginable manner
4. Like to play golf in Antartica
5. Owning a Mercedes Maybach
6. Owning a big Mansion in some idyllic place in the world
7. Want to know what girls think (I know…wishful thinking..reminds me of an english film where the guy gets to know what’s going on in a girl’s mind )

7 Celebrity Crushes

1. Aiswarya Rai
2. Sadha( Tamil Actress)
3. Jessica Alba ( A Real Hot chick…best part she’s shorter than me…I stand a chance!!!!)
4. Trisha Krishnan ( Another hot Tamil actress…..a subject of dispute among many tamil guys)

7 often repeated WORDS/PHRASES

1. Hi,

3. nice
4. How’s your studies( no..I’m not a nerd…but in this part of Canada….that’s what they ask you after the customary Hi, How do you do ? )
5. hmm
6. I see
7. Okay

7 physical traits I look for in the opposite sex

1. Character ( decent, not of loose morals)
2. Personality (kind,etc)
3. Approachability( as long as she’s not aloof)
4. Grooming ( tskk.tsk..what were you thinking…not looking beautiful but looking presentable)
5. Independent (ofcourse lah..in this age, an independent girl is HOT!!!!!!
6. Open minded ( must be able to communitcate on really touchy touchy stuff)
7. Smile - gives added value to the above criterias

There are other features I’d like to add but those are the top 7 that I look for….And no…I’m not lying….a nice body figure would definitely be a bonus…but end of the day…it’s about living with someone with the rest of your life…for better or for worse (Having a good looking wife but who is totally a dunce in other matters would not help you especially on the for worse part of your life).

I tag
Yvy (Don’t know whether she has been tagged but since she visited this blog I’m tagging her!!! nyahahahhaahaha)

Rajan r(Don’t know whether he is going to read this)

Kelvin Chew

H J Angus (Malaysia Watch)

Z(Don’t ask me why ? He has a fetish with Spyders too.)

KTemoc

One more person…hmmm..hmm….

U-Jun(My Friend, recommend you check her blog..Interesting is an understatement!)

I was tickled pink when I read this this article. Go ahead click the link and return back.

I could assume this scenario:

Driver: Hey babe, what say we go and experiment

Lady: Sure Hun, where do you want to do it.

Driver: Fidgeting his keys, Hmm….how about the motel nearby.

Lady: amboi..tak sabar sabar ya

So after their appropriate ‘rendezvous’ this guy sleeps. I mean…2 1/2 hrs of rendezvous…sure you’d get tired right. Both of them must have been going like there’s no tomorrow.

So this guy then alerts the police after discovering that his employer’s car was stolen. His employer happens to be a member of a royal family. Whew…Already using his employer’s car to solicit ’special’ services and now losing it to his new found interest.

I actually wonder what was going through the police sergeant when he was writing the missing car report.

Sergeant: Jadi Kamu hilang kereta

Casanova Victim: Ya…Kereta Majikan, Pastikan kamu dapatkan kereta itu, kepunyaan ahli
keluarga diraja

Sergeant: Baik, kami akan buat yang sepatutnya, ada apa-apa barang berharga di dalam ?

Casanova: Senapang Patah(shot gun, I think that’s the translation…may be wrong)

Sergeant: Baik, dimana kamu hilang kereta tersebut

Casanova: Jalan Chow Kit sana

Sergeant: Chow Kit ??? Apa kamu buat di sana?

Casanova: eh..apa kamu mahu tahu…itu business saya ler

Sergeant: Kena tahu encik . Itu
kawasan merah….Apa encik buat!!

Casanova: HEY!!! Kamu tahu siapa saya…ada contact di Istana..Jaga Jaga…saya jumpa kawan.!

Sergeant:
Baik…kawan encik..org perempuan…?

Casanova: silent..

Sergeant then sees the girl and thinks, “oh…patutlah dia diam…ambil servis ler dia tu…eh leh…..ingat org baik….habislah dia…”

Well…I’m just speculating what the guy was thinking. Don’t flame me. Working for a royal family a person should have an unblemished backround and even more pristine moral values. Looks like this guy is going to be in a hard time…or perhaps he would be forgiven….Well…I certainly don’t want someone to taint my name…

Besides look at what the Sun said

“Police have nabbed a 35-year-old woman, believed to be a prostitute, driving the car in Jalan Ipoh”

I just received an e-mail today from one Saudi Arabian aide to the former King Fahd. You seriously got to admire their tenacity of trying to fleece some unsuspecting people.

Read them below:

RE: MESSAGE FROM SAUDI ARABIA

Hello,

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a
surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you
without your prior consent and writing through this
channel.I got your contact from a proffesional database
found in internet while searching for a reliable and honest
person that will be an annointed steward in a vision very
dear to me.

I am Mr.Omer Yavuz a personal treasurer to late monarch
Fahd ibn Abdul Aziz al-Saud of Saudi Arabia. He was
believed to be 82. King Fahd was in poor health for years,
and suffered a stroke in 1995. Under King Fahd’s rule,
Saudi Arabia came into enormous wealth from its vast oil
reserves, making it a major player on the international
stage. King Fahd was a great king, and served very well the
interests of the Arab and Muslim world, so we feel his
loss,” he said. “At the same time, we feel Saudi Arabia
will continue to be at the forefront of Arab and Muslim
action in the field of development and organization, and
also in the field of defending Arab rights and causes.”

Please endeavour to look up this wed site for more details

transaction has to be Concluded in 2 week. As Soon as I
confirm your readiness to conclude the transaction with
me, I will provide you with the details.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Omer Yavuz (Mr.)

Not bad huh….but ofcourse we know that the above e-mail is fake! It’s done in the same aspect as the Nigerian 419 scam. The only difference is that instead of some African General, now we have a very revered King’s name that is sullied.

First and foremost, King Fahd is a very rich man. And being from a monarchy that basically controls Saudi Arabia, it would be foolish of this person to seize wealth of the great King. Perhaps the treasurer may know somethings that we don’t but in this day of age….who needs a treasurer. You may need a Fund Manager or a Treasury Official but you don’t …I repeat don’t use the term treasurer per se.

And if you see the above e-mail, he praised the king highly but then went on to say that I can get a piece of his highness’s wealth by doing certain ’service’ to him, which we now know as transferring his funds..ostensibly to an offshore bank account.

Got to admire the creativity of certain people. Really I do. And then the person went on to provide news links. The news links if you were to check are from the American Government sponsored Voice of America. I guess the poor soul who wrote that thought that by linking to a government news source, people would believe what he is writing.

oh Well…I guess it’s no longer Nigerian 419 scam but it is now(perhaps in future) known as Arabian Scam. If this goes longer I think it would be more fascinating that the Arabian Nights. Perhaps women in those sexy clothes riding camels would be a feature of the new 1001 Arabian Nights who would also be trapping scam prone people into their nefarios scam clutches.
