Dresscode for Billboards and then what?

I recently read this on the news about another city following in the footsteps of another in implementing their advertisement ruling. It appears to be that too little fuss is given to it and too little attention spared in our busy lives. Link

The ruling by kelantan and the alor setar city council was that advertisements on billboards must display decently clad personnels and for a portrayal of a Muslim woman, she must be dress in a headscarf.

Say good bye to this

And more to 

Because under the scarf is great hair that you cannot see.

It might just be me but I think these sex-ed up advertisements are one of the main causes for the increase in rape. It's not the decay of our social policies or morality. It's those damn bloody adverts! 

I would suggest to the likes of Asatsu-DK and NagaDDB to just use men in their adverts. So much easier and it would do us much good to have women running around all hot and horned.

But yeah, I might be overreacting and then overcompensating for my over reaction. The truth is, I believe that we are on a spiral towards more conservatism if that's even a word. Okay, let me put it in a way that sounds better to me........ I believe that we are becoming more conservative instead of being more open and more accepting and that's a worry for me.

Billboards now, and in the future? On the roads, in the malls and everywhere else.

New Edu plan. LOL

So they are planning to launch a new education plan to revamp our education system. I think they need a revamp of their own.

At first they abolished the used the English in S&T for their own sorry pride and ego but now with the 'new' plan, the introduction of English Literature would be made into our schools. The purpose: To improve the english language proficiency and to encourage reading. You can read about it here

Can I just ask why take our something that was doing what the new thing is supposed to do?

Oppa Gangnam Style!!!!

HEY YOOOO!!!

1st Day of Work!

First day of work did not hit my expectations at all. Luckily! Registration lasted until 11+ whence i was brought up to my floor. I was expecting to see all the familiar faces sitting at their respective places.

The secretary who came to get me looked different. NO! That's not Umma. Hmmmm, so something has changed. When I finally entered my department, everyone looked different. Nope, dont rmbr you, you are unfamiliar. And Ooo, who might you be?

I did meet a fellow intern from last year who came back as an intern. Etienne from nottingham and through him I found out that Umma is out on maternity leave and everyone else is seconded to some project. Which left me quite exasperated, who would be my supervisor now??????

So on August 1st 2012, my very first day as an engineer. I idled. =\ I was ordered to re-read department procedures again which I managed to put off and just idled.

A slow start but leaves much to anticipate.

HAHAHAHA...... Not worthy. lawl

KUALA LUMPUR: Employers consider fresh graduates liabilities as many require additional training before they can perform.

Companies would rather hire experienced and skilled professionals who can bring instant returns, said Kelly Services marketing director for Singapore and Malaysia Jeannie Khoo.

She said employers felt many fresh graduates lacked communication skills and had poor English and needed to improve before they could add value to the business.

“This means additional costs for the company. Employers are looking for people who can hit the ground running,” she said after launching the Kelly Services Professional and Technical Salary Guide 2012 here yesterday.

Khoo said the 27 polytechnics in the country generated thousands of skilled workers every year but many of them needed to be retrained by their employers.

She advised fresh graduates to be less choosy and to have realistic expectations on salary and remuneration.

“You are unlikely to earn RM3,000 in your first job.

“Be willing to learn. If you are offered an internship, take it,” she said.

Kelly Services Asia Pacific head of professional and technical, Mark Sparrow, said demand was growing for professionals with experience and niche skills.

He said there was a global shortage of talent in specialised areas of engineering, accountancy, technology and financial services.

“There is high demand for engineers, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Indonesia and Thailand which are rebuilding their cities following natural disasters,” he said.

He added the “hot jobs” in Malaysia included risk management specialists, construction and environment engineers, software development specialists and marketing and sales personnel who are fluent in English.

Shit this brings back memories.

McD Free Burger

It was a few many days back when we went to McD for lunch after feeling rather bored with food in Parit Buntar. When you have someone who says she doesnt eat much yet could finish both yours and her own portion, you MUST order extra.

And following our norm, we ordered 3 sets. Each will have a set of their own liking and a set of nugget for sharing,

This time it was different.

Hmmm, 3 french fries so there should be 3 meal sets rite? What's up with the 3rd burger?

Thank you McD for showing that you appreciate our patronage. I will definitely keep coming back if you keep doing this. =)

That meal was all the more satisfying for this particular reason. 

Eating Alone

 I was in Penang Island over the weekend for SUKAD - Sukan Antara Desasiswa. I was one of the players for  Lembaran which in the words of the coach, a pelapis team for Jaya which has won the tourney for 7-8 times in a row?

It's not like we were total rubbish and being the only chinese guy who was willing to play for Lembaran, it was a good experience. In Jaya's team, there were at least 4 maksum players.

Group stages were played on Saturday with semis and finals on Sunday. I opted to stay in main camp and since i was there alone, i figured i might as well treat myself to a meal.

 I went alone to Agua in straits quay, which is one of my favourite places now. I had spicy Tomato Soup and Roast Beef with York Pudding, 

Pudding did not taste like what I would expect from a pudding. One slice of the roast beef was a bit too rare , but it was good overall. Tomato soup was zesty and savouring as usual. 

Cost me RM 61 for this. I used to hate even the idea of eating alone but this experience exposed me to the realities that no one actually gives a fuck if you're eating alone. I could observe people at will or just chill out and read some articles. It wasnt as terrible as how I imagined it to be.

But those scene where you see a lonely guy eating and suddenly a beautiful girl comes along and shares a table? Never happened. DAMN YOU FAIRY TALES.

Chris has an explanation for that but i'm keeping mum. 

All in all, a good meal. Agua Straits Quay, Penang. Try it!

Erykah Badu

I didnt know who Erykah Badu was or wether it was a he or a she if i just read the name. It is rather vague no? But with all things non-sensical, you can be sure that the gov will propel these no-namers to stardom with their theatrics.

Reading The Star the other day, I belatedly found out on and the eve of her concert that Erykah Badu was a grammy award winner and was due to perform in a concert Today. Hmmm, i guess the other day was yesterday?

Anyway, the hum-drum is that her concert was banned and even though she's already in KL, all she can do is oogle at our twin-towers(non-local built btw). She had tattoo's sporting arabic and hebrew words which means "Allah".

Yes, very sensitive it is........... here(only?).

The culture and Home supported their decision to ban the concert due to concern for national security. Wait...what? Concert = national security threat? I guess Al-Qaeda really got to all of us.

The said anger towards her direct insult and insensitivity to the local culture was soooo widespread that in the village next to my campus next to my state next to my country is currently burning effigies of her staking that she's the mother of satan and a prada wearing devil.

Okay wait... that would be either indonesia or thailand and they didn't really do that.

Also penalised was The Star for posting the picture of her with those exposed tattoo's. SO, my question is:

        a) If The Star didnt publish the picture, the concert would still go on?
        b) If she flew in to KL, she probably had prior approval and consent from the government to hold the concert rite?
         c) SO WHAT WERE OUR CULTURE AND HOME DOING before THEY GAVE HER APPROVAL????????????????

Funny isnt it?

TO continue, I would've expected more threats to national security with flags burning of the USA and maybe Obama due to the Quran burning incident in Afghanistan a couple of weeks back.

But there was none was it?

So why all this hubris over a singer with her own body art which she is subjected to according to her rights of being an American Citizen?
