New KFC Sponsorship Deal

After watching sales falling off for three straight months at Kentucky Fried Chicken, Colonel Sanders calls up the Pope and asks for a favour.

The Pope says, "What can I do? "
The Colonel says, "I need you to change the daily prayer from, 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken'. If you do it, I'll donate $10million to the Vatican."
The Pope replies, "I am sorry. That is the Lord's Prayer and I can't change the words."

So the Colonel hangs up. After another month of dismal sales, the Colonel panics, and calls again.

"Listen your Excellency. I really need your help. I'll donate $20 million if you change the words of the daily prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken.'
And the Pope responds, "It is very tempting, Colonel Sanders. The church could do a lot of good with that much money. It would help us to support many charities. But, again, I must decline. It is the Lord's Prayer, and I can't change the words."

So the Colonel gives up again. After two more months of terrible sales, the Colonel gets desperate.

"This is my final offer, your Excellency. If you change the words of the daily prayer from, 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken' I will donate $50 million to the Vatican."
The Pope replies, "Let me get back to you."

So the next day, the Pope calls together all of his bishops and he says, "I have some good news and I have some bad news. The good news is that "KFC" is going to donate $50 million to the Vatican." The bishops rejoice at the news.

Then one asks about the bad news. The Pope replies, "The bad news is that we're losing the "GARDENIA" account."

Potential Landslide in Medan Damansara?

With the recent Bukit Antarabangsa landslide fresh in the minds of all Malaysians and as I have guessed, those staying in Medan Damansara would be fearing for their lifes as well. The Damansara 21 hillslope project undertaken by SDB Properties Sdn Bhd is just lingering above the few rows of houses at Medan Damansara. SDB Properties Sdn Bhd has requested the authorities to give them six months to facilitate them to strengthen the hillslope in which they are investing RM30 million to stabilise the hill.

If it requires as much as RM30 million just to do that ............. what does it tell you?

The residents, under the Medan Damansara Residents Association, has objected to the hillslope project. I wonder what the association had done that has given an avenue for SDB Properties Sdn Bhd to sue the association's current and past presidents and two other office bearers.

Not only they lived in fear but have to think about the law suit as well.

The residents have a blog for their cause too - Save The Hills, Please.

Sudanese Friend's Wedding

We were supposed to go for a dinner on Thursday night at a hotel, invited by a Sudanese. We thought it was one of those Hari Raya Haji celebration dinner again. Off we went. Upon arrival, the security at the hotel entrance told us that the hotel was closed for a wedding. Huh????? We tried calling that guy but he wasn't answering his phone.

We made another call to his friend and this fella told us that it was Abdullah's (the person who so-called invited us to a dinner but didn't say it was his big day) wedding at the hotel that we weren't allowed to enter. Goodness, what a trick he played on us.

Eventually we told the security that we are also the guests and we parked within the hotel compound as we were early (around 9pm plus).

In Sudan, all weddings that I have attend thus far or seen are held at open field and surrounded with gigantic cloth being put round the whole function area. The entrance to the wedding was decorated with colourful lightings.

When we entered, some of the guests were already dancing to the tune of the music that was played by a live band that comprise of a trumpet, trombones, drum, rymthmic guitar, bass guitar, keyboard and violins. This is considered a high class wedding in Sudan context.

The arrival of the king and queen for the day.

Food was served and each guest will be given a plate only. It's not a eight course dinner that comes in eight different big dishes but all-in-one plate here.

I was fortunate to have gotten a drumstick, a piece of mutton, a piece of bread, two rolls of small croissant style bread, two pieces of dates, a small chunk of white cheese, a piece of sweetened biscuit and soggy crackers.

The classic was ........ you are given a bottle of Pepsi. Yes, it was in a bottle. You won't get to see it in Kuala Lumpur nowadays.














We were seated waaaaaaaaaay behind the main stage.

Good thing they have put up LCD TVs around the place so we could witness what was going on waaaaaaaaaay in front.

Then, from 10pm onwards, the king / queen for the day came near to the live band and danced till 11pm. As everyone was leaving, we only went up to greet / congrats the king. He was definitely happy to have three foreigners attending his wedding.

As I'm the only chinese fella around, people will tend to stare ....... giving the curiosity look and asking "Who's this fella?".

Only Consolation in Sudan

As I like to watch football a lot ............... I get to watch it in abundance and it's also the only consolation for being in Sudan. Just look at my English Premier League TV schedule for Saturday and Sunday. We get to watch all of the matches live broadcasted by Showtime Maximum TV channels. This weekend's (not a weekend in Sudan though) matches will start with Middlesborough vs. Arsenal at 3.30pm (Sudan time). I don't need to stay up late for any of the matches. We get to switch to whichever match we want to see at any given time but would normally stick to the best match.

Match of the week would definitely be the match between Tottenham vs. Man Utd, which will start at 8.30pm here. No doubt that Spurs is on form at the moment.

If you are into EPL, there is a poll ready for you to vote upon (on left column).

RM1,000,000 Public Toilet Found in ......

China is facing the same problem as we in Malaysia. Some of their government servants do things way beyond human expectation ..... not the good part but the ridiculous part.

Can you the senior management in the Sanitation Department of Wuhan Urban Management Bureau has built a public toilet to the value of 2,000,000 Yuan. Moreover, this toilet is found underground of the Hankou Liberation Park.

Generally, if the news spread out, lots of people will flock to the area to have a look at the expensive toilet to see for themselves. The officials will then do a headcount and justify that the toilet usage has super exceeded what was estimated in the first place.

The officials were proud to say that this toilet is the largest, best and most civilised class of public toilet found in the whole of Wuhan Municipality.

If you were take a look inside the toilet, the design looks ordinary. Maybe expensive materials were used to construct the toilet, for example the basin and toilet cubicles were sourced from overseas suppliers.

Justified?
