Happy Day

“Sunday Monday Happy days, Tuesday Wednesday Happy days, Thursday Friday Happy Days. Saturday, what a day, groovin’ all week with you.”

Like to sing or hum out loud the above tune when I’m on a floaty high after something super duper has taken place. That’s my happy song.

A potent mix of perfume which I dun like together with the incense paper burning smells. I am now caught in such a situation.

And I desperately need to wear a mask, not for protection against H1N1 but the incessant incense paper burnings.

Gosh, now I cant differentiate between the haze and the burnings.

And then a cool windy breeze sweeps across. A brief respite. The thunder roared in the far distance.

My train of thought was disrupted when someone was trying to consult me about the kind of flooring he wanna install for his new lodge.

Over the National Day holiday, many people took advantage of the long weekend to go overseas. What resulted is the number of tragedies that occurred. The Tioman incident, Bali incident and another third incident which I’ve forgotten, splashed over the S.T.

In the Tioman case, the heavy downpour resulted in a flash flood which swept the four people away, drowning two of them. The guy who died in Bali was swimming together with 30 other people before a strong current overcame him. Although he had a friend with him to keep him afloat while another friend went to get help, eventually he didn’t survive.

Looks like H1N1 has reached its plateau after the number of people visiting clinics has started to decline. However in Malaysia, it is only beginning to get worse with people clamouring to buy masks where some shops have their masks all sold out.

It had been announced that the government is looking for the 4th generation Prime Minister who is to be in his 30s at the next election. It takes approximately 5 to 10 years time for the candidate to be groomed into a full-fledged PM.

Snippets you might like to know : 1st PM Lee Kuan Yew became the PM at the age of 49 while Lee Hsien Loong was PM when he was 51.

The great leaders of tomorrow have to be selected carefully in order for our country to prosper.

Not like what I saw on a Tshirt a dude was wearing : Procrastinators. Leaders of Tomorrow.

Double whammy for the Hongkongers, another strain of flu H3N2 is hitting them together with H1N1. What a horrible mutant the virus can be with the two flu strains combined. Hope it doesnt cause another pandemic with some weird permutation of the flu bug.

Just when I thought things are going smoothly, the client had to come and spoil the party. Then there are the few who kept asking for discounts. How low can the prices go?!

Now that SIA’s profits have fallen for the very 1st time, the salaries of the staff are all going to be cut by 10%. The poor sarong kebaya clad stewardesses.

Last Friday afternoon, I was listening to the radio while stopping at the traffic light junction. When waiting for the light to turn green, I turned my attention to the also stationary silver Mercedes to my left. Just when I was to avert away, I saw the Mercedes inch forward with a lurch and banged into the black MPV in front. What the ……

What was the driver thinking? It was a non-threatening situation, nothing out of the ordinary. Must be the driver mistaking the accelerator as the brake. The door opened and out stepped a woman in sunglasses, looking embarrassed. She walked to the front to check out the damage.

I was anticipating and hoping to see a burly ah beng climb out of the black MPV. You know lah, ah beng would raise his tattoo-ed arms and gesture with the Hokkien $&%*%#*^%. I wanna see show mah.

To my disappointment, the owner of the black MPV was a si boon guy in army uniform. I focused on his face to look out for hints of anger and frustration but none watsoever. He strolled to the back of his car to check things out in a cool and calm manner. Nary a hurry.

And then the green light came on. I had to drive off before I can stay on to watch the final episode of the drama.
