"Man in photo with woman ‘not Nazri’

I remembered reading this in The Star newspaper a couple of days back. Here I reproduce from a website. I cannot vouch for it to be exact word for word. Well, I hope I am not inviting trouble here.


KUALA LUMPUR: A photograph, posted on gutteruncensored.com showing a man with a woman in a compromising position, is not that of Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz as claimed by the foreign blog.

One of the other photographs is, however, that of Nazri, who is shown sitting on a couch at Parliament lobby.The owner of the blog claimed that the photographs were sent by a contributor several months ago.

Nazri declined to comment when contacted but people familiar with the politician said it was not him."


This news item seemed to give the impression that there were only a couple of pictures. But boy, pictures are aplenty, I tell you.

Anyway, I don't seemed to be able to tell the people apart. But they all seemed to be having a good time alright!

Again, I am of the opinion that what people do in their personal hours should be of no concern of others. As long as nobody is harmed.

However, if you profess to be of a certain religious faith, and that faith forbids such behaviour, then this will reek of hypocrisy, unless you renounce the said faith. I recommend that you renounce the said faith. Go exercise your freedom to choose.

Do you have the freedom to choose?!

Gillian Chung - A Year Later

We all knew that about a year ago, superstud Edison Chen came into the news shocking the East.
I have here some samplings on Gillian Chung in a interview recently with Stephen Chan on the "Be My Guest" show.

Should you want to watch the show in its entirety, it has 36 episodes and of course, they are easily available on youtube.

Just so you know, I stopped watching at about the 10th episode.

Why? .. The show was extremely boring. It was very very slow moving and it really do test patience. Stephen Chan was not a good interviewer, in my book.

I do empathize with what Gillian (ah Gil) is going through and the negative effects it has on her career currently. However, during the interview, the 28 years old Gillian did talk like a young teenager. I can't help but think that there is a possibility of false pretence here, possibly deliberately seeking sympathy?





















In yesterday's Channel News Asia:

HONG KONG: Hong Kong celebrity Gillian Chung has made her first official comeback appearance. Her clean cut image was shattered last year by a sex-photo scandal involving actor Edison Chen.

The 28-year-old appeared as the regional ambassador for a local fashion label, Bauhaus TOUGH Jeansmith. She reportedly received a seven-digit sum for the gig.

Fighting back tears, Chung vowed to team up once again with her "Twins" partner, Charlene Choi.

"For Ah-Sha (Charlene) to handle 'Twins' on her own this past year was not easy. When I saw her on-screen, I could see she was really tired. So I called her to say 'I'm sorry' and she told me I didn't need to say it again. We are very close, so I can't disappoint her again," she said.


Really, she is such a pretty girl.

A Bit of Bad News

I mentioned we did not manage to meet up in Bernice's two days ago as Noraini Ibrahim and Malani Cumurasamy could not make it.

Actually, this meet up was a follow up to our session 5 days ago on Tuesday when we all went to Bernice's on their official opening. We meaning, Noraini, Malani, Jeeneze, Pauline, Danny Lee and myself.

On that day, Noraini brought along a very good friend of hers. I think his name is Shahril. This person was friendly, cool and unassuming.

I received a call from Noraini last evening that Shahril has passed away. Yeah, that was quite a shocker. Noraini was audibly distraught when I spoke to her on the phone. She mentioned she called Shahril many times with no answers. Then the brother called back with the sad news.

I have yet to receive the cause of death.

May you Rest In Peace, brother.

Antibiotics & Alcohol: The truth and myths

I am currently on a antibiotic course.

I think it is a no-brainer that I should abstain from alcohol until I get back to top form. But should I want/have to, can I not abstain?



Antibiotics have been one of the greatest success stories of modern medicine - up there with the discovery of vaccination. There are many myths about mixing alcohol and antibiotics and most of them are just myths and nothing more! It's one of the great myths that mixing antibiotics with alcohol can seriously mess you up. While it's unwise to mix medicine with alcohol, only few drugs are affected by the action of it. The truth is that antibiotics have different routes of leaving the body, some broken down in the liver, excreted in the urine or passing straight through in the faeces. To a large extent this determines how long they stay active in the body and how often you need to take them. Alcohol may increase the excretion rate or slow down the rate drugs are broken down.


Just a little bit more information.


The fact is that drug generally must travel through the bloodstream to its site of action, where it produces some change in an organ or tissue. During this travel and targeted effects- the drug's effects then diminish as it is metabolized by enzymes and eliminated from the body. Similarly to antibiotics, alcohol is also traveling through the bloodstream, acting upon the brain to cause intoxication, and finally being metabolized and eliminated, principally by the liver.

Alcohol can influence the effectiveness of a drug by altering its availability.


I was supposed to meet up with some of the gang last evening in Bernice's. Noraini Ibrahim and Malani Cumarasamy couldn't make it. Well, that took care of my having to decide to drink or not.

Actually, there was another place. This place is called Monster Pub in Entrepreneurs' Park. An Opening, I heard. However I didn't go as well.


By the way, I heard there is a Korean actor named Daniel Henney and he is unbelievably hot. Do you know who he is?

Adam and Allison

These are the 2 guys I was talking about in my last post.

Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta.



American Idol - Final 13

I had a pretty bad throat and a nasty cough last evening and I thought it would be a good idea to do away with my customary weekday evening couple of drinks and go home early.

I sort of walk into my family watching American Idol Final 13 on Astro. I joined them. The last time I watched American Idol must have been at least a year ago.

What a bunch of smart ass family, I have. (me especially)


"I think Ryan Seacrest much prefer shorter contestants.

Kara knows nothing about music and she tries so hard to prove otherwise. She is always saying this connect connect thing like it means anything.

Randy is always going Yo, yo like he is a young black guy.

Paula talk like she is drunk all the time. You remember Whitney Houston at the Academy?

Paula's face looks so unnatural, like it is all botox'ed up.

It is hard to believe that Paula was a dance choreographer (for Janet Jackson etc). She can't dance shit.

Really, we don't need the other three. Everybody is like just waiting for Simon to say his piece.

I tell you, if Simon leaves his seat and get up to dance, we all know the world must be coming to an end."


Among the contestants last night, 2 of them really stood out, in my opinion.

We have this 16 year old rocker singer Alison something I think. 16 years old and she looked like she has been doing this professionally for the last 42 years. She rawks!

The other one was Adam something. He must be the best contestant I have seen for a long, long time. (not that I watch a lot of American Idols shows). I think there were some scandalous pictures of Adam being in some gay situations on gutteruncensored.com. Last night, He rawks!

By the way, the theme last evening was music by Michael Jackson.


















Singer Actress Mandy Moore secretly got married yesterday to Ryan Adams. She has such a sweet face, don't you think?

Hey, does anybody remember Eric Ho a CanonMalaysian?

Almost Lover

Jeradyne did another cover.

This one is lesser known and is called "Almost Lover" originally done by A Fine Frenzy.

Sad and haunting. I like it. Hope you do too.







Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?

Prudential - No. 1 Party














It was impossible for me to take any decent pictures on this occasion inside Bar Celona in Sunway Pyramid.

In case you are not aware, Rodney Lin our ex-Regional Manager based in Malacca is now with his wife in Prudential Insurance.

Last week Prudential celebrated their number 1 position in Malaysia by throwing an awesome party for all its agents. The registered people who were supposed to attend numbered 2000 I heard. I estimated that there were about 800 people inside Bar Celona and it was really packed. In the beginning, getting your food and beer seemed to be a problem.

The people were so upbeat and motivated. The band was awesome, getting all sorts to people to dance everywhere. The master of ceremony, I understand a Prudential personnel himself, seemed to have no problem in getting every one's attention. He was so funny and entertaining.

I went on Rodney's invitation as his special guest and I was happy I went.

I can't help but be so happy to see so many people from one company so happy and so enjoying themselves. The free beer and food helped.

I thought of putting Rodney's picture here but what for? Everybody knows how this handsome bloke look like.

Why not a picture of Charlize Theron, the woman who looks good anywhere, anytime. The only time she looked a bit messy was when she was in Hancock with Will Smith.
