Food of Deepavali
October 24th, 2008 by MM2H
3 days to go to enjoy the delicious food of Deepavali.
Not being that religious, and not being in for Indian traditional Deepavali music and dance, for me this coming Deepavali Monday - October 27th - means my yearly indulging in Indian food. Don’t ask what food do Indians eat on Deepavali : it’s just too many names to remember and it doesn’t mean anything when you can’t taste it.
My friend’s mother Deepavali rituals include spending all day making murukku of which I prefer the ones formed into a spiral, see above picture.
Go to the supermarket and by all the savory snacks you can find: just nothing beats her murukku. I mean, where do you find fresh curry leaves inside a savory snack? That’s right, she has it and I bet other Indians will have it to. Just that I don’t happen to know too many.
Luckily I managed this year to visit New Delhi, so I brought some cloth to give to her to make Deepavali clothes. Just her murukku will pay back for all the money spend traveling 
If you never made any Indian friends, then you are loosing out big time now! But it’s never too late to go out and make new friends! In Malaysia that’s a bit hard these days, as most of the Indians there are detained under the ISA and 30.000 don’t even hold a passport 
Happy enjoying the food of Deepavali!

Karpal Singh not allowed to sing in parliament
October 23rd, 2008 by MM2H
Seriously…
You don’t need serious argumentation to speak in Parliament anymore?
Today in Parliament one was debating about the government spending more than 100.000 Ringgit on a dinner with lawyers, trying to justify why.
According to the ruling party, “these kind of dinners are an effort to strengthen the relationship between the government and the lawyers. Only blind people would say that it is bribery…”
Now what has this got to do with blind people, I would like to ask the ruling party?
Karpal Singh also saw that this kind of argumentation can’t be serious. Really, there are no facts stated and it’s as useless as saying that only a deaf person wouldn’t hear the benefits the ruling party was talking about…
Anyway, Karpal Singh is not a member of the ruling party, so he got suspended for 2 days.
However the person talking about blind people can still speak his mind no matter what…
It’s really fun to see how the Malaysian parliament conduct their things, it’s sad that in a period of enormous economical and political instability, one doesn’t talk about more serious issues with more serious arguments.

Palin is NUTS
October 22nd, 2008 by MM2H
Totally! Palin is NUTS…
- or blind
- or doesn’t understand the English news
- or has no memory whatsoever
- or has a twisted mind to twist words and time…
What did Palin say to deserve my outmost outrage of vomiting blood?
Sarah Palin suggested Tuesday that it would be Sen. Barack Obama’s policies that would spark the international crisis that Sen. Joe Biden has said would be likely within months of Obama taking office.
Wake up Sarah:
we are a few weeks in an economical crisis already
This economical crisis sparked of with the closure of some huge US firms Sarah, go and read each newspaper for more info…
Sarah Palin Swimsuit
Sarah Palin has been strutting off herself in swimsuit before as a 1984 beauty pageant… Complaining that Obama is a European Socialist, we must say that Sarah Palin is a right wing European extremist. Why?
Because it’s common for European right wing extremist parties to use celebrities, pageants and other beautiful bimbos to gather more votes.
Nothing wrong with that, but these bimbo’s keep quiet and just strut their stuff. Palin speaks, and all that comes out of her mouth is more stupid than that celebrity McCain compared Obama with… Paris Hilton.
Go bimbo go: speak more nonsense Sarah Palin so we can keep on laughing!
