I am just wondering if there is at least another reputable competitor for paid TV service in Malaysia, would Astro think twice before increasing their price?

There is nothing wrong with Lim’s statement, but I do wish that a person of his status could have some brighter ideas.

Frankly I don’t mind paying better price for equivalent quality, but I am getting more frustrated with Astro month by month… there are wasting money paying for rubbish channels while putting the cost on consumers, their services sucks during rainfall, and there are more and more commercial break… I felt like I am paying money to watch advertisement everyday.

The irony thing is, despite all those dissatisfaction… it’s very likely that I will continue to subscribe to Astro, just like most of the other subscribers. Do we really have much choices? (Oh we do… Jangan Tengok Astro.)

Can’t seem to find much info about the word online. I believe it’s a kind of flower in Japan, or is in fact a Japanese word… but I doubt Digi is using a Japanese word.

My friend told me that the meaning of Fu-yoh is derive from Chinese word which means wealth… it sounds right but I doubt it’s the case as well.

Some forumers at Lowyat.net gave a simpler explanation that it is just a word of acclamation on something surprise… like “Fuyoh, so cheap!” Just like OMG etc. perhaps; sounds more logical.

Call me dirty minded, but I can’t stop thinking that Fu-yoh is a disguise of “Fu*k You”… it sounds so similar for me.

Even if Fu-yoh does mean to show surprise blah blah… there must have a recent origin for people to start using that word, and I suspect that the word is derive from the famous F word instead.

I am not a saint; I do spit some foul languages some time… so what the meaning of Fu-yoh doesn’t concern me too much in the end. Just thought that if my hypothesis is right… it must be interesting to have some TV commercials farking us everyday.

I’ve graduated from my high school for more than 8 years, and the last time I actually visited the school was to get my STPM result, just about 8 years ago.

It’s odd, I have great memories of my high school years, it was fun, mostly… but I never bothered to pay the school a visit for all these years. Sometimes I did drove by the school when visiting my hometown, just to see if there are any difference with the school… but I was kinda ‘afraid’ to walk into the school.

I am not sure why… perhaps I know that it will remind me of a lot of wonderful memories that won’t repeat itself again. Sometimes people are not just trying to hide bad memories, but good memories as well, just to pretend that we are living the happiest moment in our life… that’s what I believe.

I am certain that I will revisit my school again some day… probably when I feel that my current life is so good that those wonderful memories in high school are not that worth remembering any more. Hope that the time will come really soon.

Weekends… Wake up late, brunch, shopping, TV, more TV (some prefer PC/PS games though), dinner, and more TV, sleep.

It’s not my life. Some of the people I know are living their life this way… nothing wrong with that, it’s their life after all.

It reminded me that despite lots of unfairness and stupid stuff in Malaysia… we are still a lucky bunch of people to be born on this land. It’s a pretty rare occasion that I felt really good to be in Malaysia, or to be a Malaysian… lots of the other time I was rather pessimist about our future, couldn’t help it.

Btw, I watched the movie in a hospital… any other weirder places to watch a movie?

Just a random thought.

Lots of bloggers are standing in defence for the 2 bloggers, Jeff Ooi and Ahiruddin Attan… but honestly, what makes people think that bloggers can’t and shouldn’t be sued if we did something wrong?

If people can be sued for defamation with our speeches and offline writings, what makes bloggers exempted from being sued? Is it simply because we are bloggers? I just can’t understand the logical sense for people who are crying out loud that NST is doing something idiotic just because they sued the bloggers.

No I am not happy to see bloggers being sued. NST could have use other diplomatic methods to settle the issue (not sure if they did), but in the end it’s their rights to protect themselves if they felt they are being defamed purposely.

Imagine me blogging that YOUR mother is a hooker and that YOUR father is gay… now why shouldn’t you be given the rights to sue me?

Freedom of speech does have its limits, and for me… it applies to internet medium as well, bloggers should take responsibility for what we blog.

As for those 2 bloggers, good luck, and hopefully the judiciary will give a fair judgement.

I understand Astro is trying to give some touching message, which I felt to notice; I just think that the characters are pathetic… indecisive mum, ball-less dad (and husband) and spoilt kids.

Being a mother that lady should know when to stamp her authority on kids; when the lady is watching a show and her kid take over the controller and switch channels without actually asking for permission, she should tell the kids to get lost and switch back to her channel instead of keeping quiet.

Same for the dad, if his wife is a quiet person, he should step in and tell the kids to do the right thing. The most pathetic kind of man is those who can’t do the right things for his wife, because he will not be able to do anything else right.

And the kids are just spoilt brats… showing no respect for their mother and not helping at housework.

I am probably thinking the opposite way of what the ads editor was thinking when the ad was first made, coz it’s not cool at all.

(no disrespect to the ads actors/actresses, it’s just the ads concept that irk me)

It’s quite funny to hear a 27-year-old saying that meeting a superstar will make it a great day, my immediate thinking was that my friend probably needs a life; but before I teased her, a thought flashed through my mind… what have I accomplished this year?

Most of us are living normal daily life, probably decent and happy life but less of something significant. That makes meeting in person with a superstar sounds something extravagant isn’t it?

Frankly 2006 hasn’t been a great year for me, I will do my to make the remainder of 2006 better.

How about you? What have you accomplished in 2006? Or just living a simple and normal life?
