Happy New Year

Ooohh... New year is coming again (shuddered!). There is no way to hide the fact that you are no sweet-17-and-you-can-do-whatever-things like you used to be. You just need to embrace and accept the inevitable. And the midlife crisis is loomig in the air too. Not to mention the menopause and thinking-about-suicide things for some people. These are the things that everybody will come across in mind in their life. Unless you were born as the descendant of Sultan of Brunei off course!!

Then you don't really need no resolution to start your miserable life. And what the f**k is resolution when you can change Ferrari once a day and don't have to bother about life poverty?

Oh, sorry. I was talking about FEW lucky ones. But the rest of us need resolutions, right? Yes! We DO need resolutions to kick off our days into the new year. Without them, we are no more than a puppet without purpose and mission. We can't do anything and come February we'll be dumped into the dust bin. Err... that's scary; You better get your lazy bum off and start writing your resolutions!

Ooops, I forgot to ask... did you complete all those 2006 resolutions before you start the new ones?

hehehehe....

3. What the heck is my best buddy trying to avoid me... it sucks big time.

Johor Flood... THE CLOWN did it!

Just in case you are living in a locked bank vault and there is no way you could get the outside news, I am happily telling you that many areas in Malaysia are engulfed in the flood. Most affected states are Johor, part of Malacca, N. Sembilan, part of Klang Valley and some areas in the east coast. But Johor is the worst-affected region where almost 60,000 people need to be re-locate to the safe place.

And it was really disaster in the making. Imagined you were stranded in the car for almost 5 hours to get back home which was only about 30 kms from your office (yeap! you're right, it was ME!). I think we urgently need a car that could fly - that way there would be no traffic jam at all.

Some houses disappeard entirely, submerged under the dark murky water like the one you saw in the movie, Waterworld. Luckily, no one has been seen developing gills and duck-feet like Kevin Costner. It's gonna be an awful experience I tell ya.

Off course I'm gonna tell my grandchildrens about this unnatural phenomenon, that your granddad has to survive 3 days of hell just to get to the office in the stormy weather and heavy rain. I doubt they will see this thing happening again coz' some genius scientists (or fortunetellers?) told us that this thing will only occur in the next 100 years.

Oh! Heck.. They must have forgotten about the flood in 1978. They also said that it wouldn;t happen again in the next 100 years. But guess what? Nature has fooled you!

And come to think about it again, 1978... 2006. 28 years in lapse before the flood. It was almost like the one you read in Stephen King's horror novel IT, where this creepy alien/being turned to not-so-funny clown went about it's eating habit every 28 years. Yeap, 28 years. The EXACT 28 YEARS as in the novel itself.

And when it ate (obviously it's menu was small children), there was this big flood. I really hope that clown didn;t decide to move from Maine to Malaysia because America is not a safe place anymore, even for an alien/being like IT. But if it does, then God help us! Ooh Creepy...

Obviously, some see this as an advantage - just phone your boss and tell 'im that the road from your area linking to your office has been decapitated by severe flood BUT then you were off to some luxurious island for holiday.

Yes! It doesn't make sense but some people really do this stupid things, you know? But hey, to the people that their lives really affected by the flood, I sincerely hope that all the helps will come to them. I did it myself, giving clothes and money to charities that help the victims.

Well, It's FRIDAY today and the sky doesn't look so good coz it seemed like waiting for the instruction above before it starts raining AGAIN. But I am crossing my finger that we'll end today fine and unscathe from the rain.

Even if it's raining, it's a good thing. I couldn't watch Astro as it gets transmission problem when it rains, thus giving me more time to write my new novel, "CINTA DALAM SEPOTONG KEJU". But I am no hypocrite, if it's good for the rain to stop, then stop it should be....

Just don't go to the sewage or old abandon pipelines by yourself, you might see a clown trying to give you a balloon and then eats you for dinner. Just my 2 cents advice, folks.. Heed it or leave it!

Return Of The... Wannabe Writer!

I know! I Know! This sound almost like blasphemy... I did write some zillion years ago that I wouldn't write any more in Clutterworld. To write again here would seem impropriate and all the blah and blah...

But here I am again with you good people, or is there no body coming here any more? Yeah... I guess this is not their fault.

Okay, First thing first. i would like to change the overall lay out of this blog. It's awful and uninspiring. And all the comments in previous entries have all gone just like that. DARN! So it might take a while before this blog comes to life again. I need to re-learn all the basic HTML thingy one more time. Hey! I am not a miracle worker you know!

As per previous entry (which was wriiten zillion years ago!), I would like to thank you for all the comments to sticking to the name which I comfortable with and not letting some thinking-about-the-money-only-but-not-other-people-concern corporate dork to rip my name off.

And here I am, almost MORE than a year after my 'retirement', I am glad to tell you all (music please... erm.. not that Titanic Soundtrack... but something more pulsating and energetic!)

This author is back. And I am alive and kicking! And yes, folk, I am still retaining that name up until now, and Thank god - for letting me stick to with JOHN NORAFIZAN....
