nothing to say

Its been a walk down memory lane.

I can't forget the fridge magnets you bought me - from Pebble Beach in California, Asakusa in Japan and Hanoi in Vietnam. Glad you liked me enough to buy me fridge magnets, though my defense mechanism couldnt bear to let you get close then.

But I'm happy now too. Different kind of happy, but happy.

Kicking off my birthday celebrations with Mouse in Krabi this weekend where we have booked a villa right by the sea with a private pool. It's in the middle of nowhere, which is good. We can finally sit around drinking tea and doing nothing.

26 feels old. My friend who's 26 has 1 year old twin daughters. But those who are 30 tell me in no uncertain terms - "you stupid shit, stop complaining. you hv 4 more years to reach 20k in earnings per month, the target you need to drive your Audi TT and come out of Ferragamo with a bag every time. thats a shitload of time considering where you are now, you bitch."

And to which, I have nothing to say... except... "oh anyway.. did i tell you about my dining chairs?"

At first glance, UK's budget 2010 looks fair. You cut some, you give some. CGT higher for higher income earners, personal tax rebate removing 880k of the lowest income earners from taxpaying, and a freeze in public sector pay hikes for two years. If in Malaysia, the last act would be tantamount to political suicide. But rightly so because years of income disparity have left the masses of public servants extremely underpaid.

Our Parliament is supposed to be debating the 10MP from last week to this week. No news especially on the subsidy rationalization, which we really need. No wonder nobody gives a shit about that 10MP - have you seen the hardcopy? It's thick enough to kill a dog with one swipe.

I personally haven't read it because its pointless knowing what we "should" do. Thats what we're famous for. Uttering statements with "should" in it, or "this department has been instructed by this minister to look into this" - haha. says nothing, eh? The West should learn from the Malaysians on how to say very little while saying alot. Case in point - Just look at the damn 10 Malaysia Plan.
