Problogger is doing another group writing project. Check it out here. There is a Dell PC to be won even. So i am submitting my list also. If you guys are interested, better do it fast. The response is overwhelming this time!
My list - Ways to make people always remember you.
- Greet them every morning by enquiring about the sex life of their mothers
- When having breakfast with them, start digging your nose
- Then let out a big fart
- when they stare at you, waiting for an apology, pretend you don’t know.
- choke yourself on the cofee.
- spill everything on the table while you are choking.
- wipe your nose with your hands after you have choked, because coffee is dripping from your nostrils.
- laughed but don’t say sorry.
- continue eating your breakfast that has been contaminated by what you spilled out.
- wash it down with the remaining coffee.
- blurp loudly, signifying that you had a very fulfilling breakfast.
- offer to pay, but let your friend beat you to it.
- thank him profusely and promise you will pay for the next time.
Do the following frequently enough and i guarantee you that you will be remembered!

And finally, i solved the mystery of the laughing statcounter. Taking a hint from my bradder’s comment that it was the ad banner, i focused my attention on the top banner each time I log in. Indeed! I caught the poltergeist yesterday. It was the ’smiley’s’ ad banner. The new ’smileys’ comes with sound effect now! Phew. for a few days, i thought my pc had been possessed.
That solved, let’s get back to some ’serious’ discussions about the recent shut up order to all bloggers. Now this order had sort of caused a turmoil in the sphere. It has caused a giant dilemma amongst the more outspoken ones. Should they write or should they not write. Maybe we should all take up law. Or at least consult a lawyer about the consequences of writing such and such. Anyway, what does ’sensitive issues’ constitute? One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Sensitivity is so very subjective. My Malay friends always shouts,
"Oi! Cina Kui! Mari minum!" whenever they pass by my shop on their way to the mamak stall. I would shout back’
"Pegi lah! Melayu! Gua sudah minum lu baru pangill!"
Is that a sensitive issue? Am I causing racial disharmony here? I thought we were good friends who understood each other well enough to make these ’sensitive’ jokes. And what about some of my closer Indian friends whom I address as ‘Keling Kui’. Will I get sued now? Will I be taken to eat curry rice? I mean, it’s only i figure of speech. It’s up to how the listener wants to depict it. By accepting what we called each other means we are close friends who understands each other. I think we should emphasise more on this culture rather than asking people to be ’sensitive’.
Don’t actually know when all these ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude started. If we watch those old P.Ramlee movies, we notice that back then, they were no such nonsense. The great P.Ramlee always projected a truly multi cultural society in a lot of his films. He poked fun at different races without a tinge of prejudice and every race loved it. So why all these issues now? Is it because we are more knowledgeable now? Is it because of our education? Or maybe it’s just because we simply lacked both.
