Women over 30..

...prefer to marry younger men?
(The Star today)-Educated women above 30 prefer to marry younger men even though they are financially unsound and are less educated, ...
...this was happening because women of this age found it hard to find men of the same education level, economic status or age. Most who fit this criterion were already married anyway. (Yeah, so true!)
...based on a working paper by associate professor Tey Nai Peng from the Economic and Administration Faculty of Universiti Malaya titled “Marriage and Family Development in Malaysia” presented at a national seminar, Building the Future Generation, recently.

-Nah, I absolutely don’t belong to the sample of women being surveyed. I have had my chance with younger guys but I threw it all away. Muahahahahaha. Wouldn’t wanna be mothering them when actually I should be a mother to my kids instead..
BTW, I wonder whether the methodology being used in the survey is appropriate. Wouldn’t wanna it to be like the ASLI & bumiputera equity case eh? Why ah, our government always like that one? If no reasons to hide? (refer today's Star again)
Cakap macam k****g most of the time! Remember, quite recently the police reduces fine for certain traffic offences in order to encourage people to pay summons on time. Then only the menteri involved said, how come I don’t know about this? Tarik balik…which make me cringed in earnest coz lotsa my money involved!
Eg. There’s a proposal to increase speed limits some time ago (which got full endorsement from me!) but what happened was they actually reduced it instead for this raya!! Waaa…..akan banyak lah kereta2 yg ‘bersiar2 dijalan raya’ seperti makan angin jua adanya…

Blind Malaysian drivers?
800,000 pemandu rabun di jalan raya kita (Utusan today)
KUALA LUMPUR 16 Okt. – Kira-kira lapan peratus daripada lebih 10 juta pemandu berdaftar di negara ini dikenal pasti tidak mempunyai tahap penglihatan yang baik.
Keadaan ini dipercayai menjadi antara penyumbang meningkatnya kadar kemalangan jalan raya terutama menjelang musim perayaan.
Ketua Optometris Jabatan Optometri, Fakulti Sains Kesihatan Bersekutu, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Dr. Haliza Abdul Mutalib berkata, tahap penglihatan walaupun sama pentingnya dengan sikap manusia dan infrastruktur dalam menentukan keselamatan pemanduan sering dipandang remeh....

-Hm, I’ve to admit that I’ve a very poor eye-sight (before correction la). I’ve reached the maximum limit for ready-made contact lens which means next time I need to have it made-to-order from any of the manufacturers.
And esp. at night (yeah I know this) so I avoid driving at night as much as possible.
Just found out (from reading a blog) that in Germany, there’s no speed limit (with their brand of cars and Schumi some more?! but they’re courteous drivers so lower accident rate as compared to Malaysians) – so have to check this out in future!

One of the boys again: (my contribution to say Tak Nak to rokok campaign!)

SIL: Kau tengok bibir eh tu ha! Kan ke itam tu..
Li, baik kau cakap boto2, kau merokok eh?
(Long heavy silence but a flicker of his eyelids told me the truth)
Kau ni Li…blahblah..kau tau tak merokok ni kan kurang sikit yo laei dari menagih – kau tau?...blahblah…Apolah kau nak jadi ni Li…macam mano nak jadi contoh pada adik2…

-Ya Allah, how am I to get through his head that smoking is wrong? Peer pressure? What is it with boys (inc. big boys) & cigarettes anyway?
