Seasick on World Earth Day

Apr 22 2009 Published by coolcat under Uncategorized

Today is World Earth Day. Today I found myself tossed by the very choppy waves of the sea. My stomach turned queasy, I popped a motion sickness pill and crawled below to sleep it off.

After a while I felt better and rejoined the gang. And suddenly I recalled that exactly last year on World Earth Day, I was on a boat in Miri and the exact same thing happened. I felt nauseous, popped the pill and slept.

Coincidence? Perhaps. But let’s see what happens next year during World Earth Day. Heh.

Strange Folks

Apr 16 2009 Published by coolcat under Tips

Lately, I have heard or come across strange folks like these.  I rate
them on a scale of 1 to 5 in terms of danger quotient.  The higher the
rating, the more dangerous they are to your health – mental or
otherwise. 

  1. People who comment on their own Facebook status and Wall postings. 
    It’s like they are having a conversation all by themselves online for
    all to see. WTH? Danger scale: 1 out of 5 – leave them alone in their own world.  If it makes them happy, leave them to it.
  2. People who have an extremely large sense of entitlement.  Yea, yea,
    we know you have your own mag.  So, what?  Unless you have a Dato’
    attached to your name, you are just a normal folk like any one of us. 
    Take a number and queue lar.  Danger scale: 2 out of 5 – let
    them heave and rant all they want.  You never know when you need to
    apply for a job at their mag.  But then again, who would want a drama
    king/queen boss like that?
  3. People who want to make a turn to the left but keep hogging the left
    lane – effectively preventing others from using that lane.  Stick to
    your own lane lar.  Danger scale: 3 out of 5 – they are
    dangerous on the road if you yourself are not alert to their doings. 
    Do not daydream while driving and you should be safe from these jokers.
  4. People who lodge a report/warning letter against you but pretend as
    if nothing had happened.  Sweet as a honey bee… a lethal one.  Danger scale: 5 out of 5 – If you can help it, stay far away from such.

This is a Coolcat public service.  May all of mayhem be curbed and eradicated from the lives of the innocent!
