..Quick Update..

Quick one.. I'm going camping to Endau Rompin this weekend. Now i'll tell you the truth and say i've NEVER been camping in my LIFE!

I'm pretty excited but a little nervous though. But I reckon that's a good thing. That means I won't take things for granted. No? Anyhoo, I don't like going into new situations unprepared so i'm researching camping tips online. Found a site perfect for me... LOL.. "Camp Clueless".. hahaha.. yup.. that's me...

Some of my friends are laughing themselves silly because apparently MM has 'tamed the wild beast'.. I mean, really now? Just because I go fishing and am going camping? Pfft.. Whatever dudes..

P.S: Fishing pics to follow in a bit.. Remind me someone to tell you about the 'one that got away'!

..Fishy Sundays..

Phew!

Just back from a day of fishing with MM, MM's Daddy, my cousin Robert and his mate Rhys who are down for a short holiday on their trip around the world..

Updates and pictures later.

Right now I have to take a shower...

I stink.. and not in a good way...

I'm 'hooked' by MM apparently (or so he says),

Avril Lavigne concert cancelled
By LOH FOON FONG (original article here)

KUALA LUMPUR: The Avril Lavigne concert in Stadium Merdeka, here, on Aug 29 has been cancelled.

Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Shafie Apdal said that the concert falls during the nation's independence period and was not a suitable time to hold such a concert.

There are a lot of events on Aug 29 and the Ministry does not want the independence and the near Ramadan month to be filled with such pop and rock culture, he said.

"As the Minister of Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage, we should be instilling good culture in the young but here we are allowing other parties to organise things," he said Wednesday after launching the IDeAS for enhancing Integrity book.

Moreover, the organisers were promoting the event even before they got approval from the relevant agencies, he said.

"All organisers, local and foreign, should adhere to the rules and regulations before promoting the concert and selling tickets to the public," he said, adding that Lavigne's organisers should have sought advice from the Kuala Lumpur City Council or the Ministry.

Asked if he knew why they had promoted the concert before it was approved, he said he did not know.

Asked if the Ministry's decision was in response to PAS Youth's call for cancellation, he said "no."

Oh for FUCK's SAKE!!!

Again am I COMPLETELY mortified that I am a Malaysian (read here for the other reason). Why is it that our godforsaken government sees the need to cave in to the whims and fancies of one, i repeat ONE group of 'youths' and I use this term every so lightly because this singular group is a sad sad misrepresentation of the majority of youths here.

I'm HOPPING mad! So this letter that was sent into The New Straits Times Online Letters section by a R.S from Petaling Jaya will have to be an indication of my thoughts and feelings.

AVRIL LAVIGNE CONCERT: Don't be so narrow-minded

I READ with utter disgust and increasing frustration your report about the Pas Youth Council (Federal Territory division) trying to get the Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry to scuttle another concert by a foreign artiste -- this time by pop rock singer Avril Lavigne ("Protest over concert" -- NST, Aug 11).

Where did the Pas Youth Council's Kamaruzaman Mohamad get the idea that he and his merry band have the right to be our moral guardians?

If he's so concerned about Malaysian youths, then he would do well to look into the problems of rampaging Mat Rempit, the majority of whom are made up of teenagers.

Not to mention the thousands of Malaysians who are drug addicts and who resort to petty crimes to finance their addiction. These are the people who need help, not music enthusiasts who just want to have a good time.

If anyone finds Avril Lavigne so distasteful, then don't go to see the show. Many Malay-sians would like to hear her sing and, believe me, they would not turn into moral degenerates just because of one concert.
I suppose the ministry will again give in to this group of bigots, regardless of the views of the majority. I find it increasingly infuriating that this country has to live by the moral code of a bunch of narrow-minded people who insist that every Malaysian should toe the line of their rigid and dogmatic views.

Where is my right as a citizen of a supposedly democratic country? The right to live my life as I see fit as long as I don't harm anybody else?

This is a basic civil liberty which is the inalienable right of every Malaysian, which lately has been hijacked by a group of demagogues who should be keeping their noses out of matters that do not concern them.

Well said R.S.. Well said..

Ouchies..

..Weekender Chronicles..

Yes. I KNOW i'm due a post-holiday post. But it just takes a lot of time! And doing this is so much easier, so I'm not going to stop blogging just because I'm procrastinator. OK? Gimme a break will ya. :p *pfft* It'll be up, eventually. Anyhooooo, this is what we did over the weekend. Or rather, technically on Saturday. Sunday I stayed at home on the couch under my rainbow blankie because I.Am.Sick.As.A.Dog.

On Saturday we went to see PUPPIES!! Heehee... Puppies reduce me to childlike giggles.. My friend Ms. Piggylicious sisters dog (phew! what a mouthful) just had puppies and she's looking to give them away because her house is already like miniature ZOO (believe me, after going there she's NOT exaggerating!). So we went because we're thinking of getting a little playmate for Jolie thus further expanding our little family *grin*

After which, we went for my cousin's wedding at Sunway Resort Hotel. Geez, talk about a miniature high school reunion. Some of my classmates (my cousin Kevin and I also were classmates) who I haven't seen for DONKEY's years were also there! And to make the world smaller, there were some friends who were there who was related to the bride (the bride by the way went to the same confirmation as I did, so I've known her even before the groom did!). Shocking. Six degrees of separation? More like freaking TWO!

The wedding was fun. It was MM's first time at a Eurasian wedding and he was quite entertained with the dancing and the copious amounts of drinking (Jay you bastard he asked for water.. not WHISKEY WATER!) My Nanny (grandmother) made him dance and though he was feeling a little under the weather, he shocked me silly (literally I shit you not, my mouth was agape) by whisking me around the floor and dipping me backwards in a very masterful cha-cha. I under-estimated the lap cheong. Sorry luv. Promise I won't do it again. Maybe. *evil grin*
