Of the things that happen to me is a mental writers block and the thing to loose is one’s own creativity to procreate designs and errgh what am I thinking and blabbing about. Blogging is a little sort of organismic passion where one writes down in the diary of life, recording it as it goes along..and in the case of CHEDET, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Dr Mahathir Muhammad …book his blog posts.
I mean how easy it is to pen almost 24 paragraphs of sentences and long one might one add to a post. Ouch. That even is something I can NEVER achieve. Think positive. Trouble with me is that people don’t like me to talk much of my life as a plankton without a theme to it, and so I have to be creative and break down things in the sense of substitute and breaking them down into different categories. IT and one, and life and others.
Itchy me finally got off my bum and restarted my initial project which I scuttled almost 10 years ago with my CHAT.NU domain and installed a multi-user blog. Community blog like what I should have done with my BBS.NU but the term BBS is no longer relevant to the new world, unless it’s the BBC. Likewise, the numerous number of themes and plugins I have to endure modifying to make sure it works is another uphill talk. Like 87 themes big. Yikes. No wonder Blogmas gave up and sold his systems.
In the downtown economy, saving up for a rainy day is something we should do. However if everyone shutdown and stay at home…don’t eat out..what will happen to the economy? Chain restaurants will close down and retrenchments will happen and in effect it will effect the community of workers who depend on the minimum wage pay and in turn the landlord, their restaurant suppliers and their workers and it’s like a domino effect. Take out one and the ecology of life is disrupted abruptly.
Airlines, in my opinion is a rip off,mean kind of people where when prices of fuel goes up they hastily raise prices and impose fuel surcharges and when it’s down to the levels prior to China’s Wake Up Call… they refuse to do so as it will kill them more. Heck, don’t they understand and learn something from the Chinese? Sell it cheap and Fast. Volume counts. No use of flying on empty when your surcharges costs more than the air ticket alone.
Take for example a trip from Kuala Lumpur to New York City, be it JFK or La Gaudia airport or New Jersey slump of an airport ( can’t remember the name..but it’s what the TV says…a cess pool). You know that it normally cost about RM2700 return but the YQ surcharge, aka fuel surcharge is more than RM4000 alone for that round trip. On the other hand, budget airlines will sure want a piece of the pie to the United States of America despite the DHS imposing so many rules along side with the TSA with their ever so stupid laws and hazards to their own health by making people take off their shoes and well, they really should try with a bunch of Singaporeans who just got off their reservist training in Taiwan, field camp what not, unshowered for days…and with their boots and socks…..and when you ask them to open their boots for X-RAY, heck even a thousand banglas and indians in Serangoon Road will be beaten down , face down with the stench of a company of soldiers.
Of course they have to drop by the ever so cruel checkpoint of either San Francisco or San Jose (that’s San HOSE-EH for you stupid Singaporeans..) or in Los Angeles where you wait patiently in line for about a few hours just to get checked out. Talk about super efficiency of the Homeland Security where Kepo-Kek of Singapore wants to be like so, ‘on the ball’ but forgetting that the ever so lazy Singaporean will always have the SAF (Serve and Fly off) mentality where shortcuts are norm and well, their brains washed to the tune of ‘Do whatever you want but don’t get caught’ or cover it up.
Thank the British for that mentality actually as they are so slacked and relaxed and cock ups are a standard norm of life in their cuppa tea, thus always signing on at the job center, and occasionally signed on enough money to go on a holiday to Miami with Virgin Atlantic cheapo flights. Yes. Virgin is getting rid of their surcharges but then…I can’t get to the UK silly. Never mind, at least their ESTA system allows me to enter for the next 10 years without any let or hindrance. I don’t need to work in the US despite the ads and calls by Cheap Hotels asking me to go check ever hotel out…on them.
It’s fun to travel out. Just hope I save enough to bring the entire load up in the US. Call this a mental Writers Block but what I wrote was spontaneous without any sponsorship from Starbucks or Genting Highlands whatsoever. Just lest I need to see if I can actually write as long or heck longer than the missus and well, The New Republic gave me a new lease of life to inspire me of talk rot journalism.
What I do need is an overhaul of my engine mind block.Anyway, if you are going to the US or somewhere, do use those online services like Cheaper Than Hotels.com or similar but like I used a few of them, these online sites does offer cheap rates, even better than corporate or even membership ones at last minute whilst the hotels want to fill their vacancy cheap. Thomas cook or whatever you call it, it’s similar to those agencies at Bus / Coach / Train stations dishing out last minute rates for Bed and Breakfast but this on offer far better..and in style. Well, I am a stingy person….what U expect?
