Crossbreeding Gone Awfully Wrong

Eclyse (name as given), a crossbreed between female chapmann-zebra with a male brown-white horse. Was born in Italy and being taken care of in Safaripark Stukenbrock in Germany now.

You know what ..... HOW DO I TEACH MY CHILDREN IN TIME TO COME? HOW WILL KINDIE/SCHOOL TEACHERS TEACH?

Please lah, this is just a crossbreeding gone awfully wrong and just admit it instead of giving such a good reception. People ought not to dabble with their genes created by God from day one.

So what do you call this? Zeorse? Hobra?

The incident happened more than a year ago when the zeorse/hobra's mom was taken to an Italian ranch and a male horse did the unthinkable. So, it was an accident.....not a scientific research. Anyway, it's not funny. It's totally confusing to the children and parents would be tongue-tied.

Unlicensed Travel Agencies

On 24 May 2007, I have blogged about a Holiday Package being promoted by three related parties of Best World Vacation, Slyways Vacation and Dynasty Vision Resources.

Today, the Ministry of Tourism has responded to my enquiry. Please read their email:-

I hope that the Ministry / MATTA could assist in verifying the travel agencies as listed below. I suspect that they are cheating Malaysians lately with the promotion & selling vacation memberships together with Slyways Vacation and Dynasty Vision Resources. Todate, there are emails being circulated depicting the cheating scenarios.

Please let me know whether the following 3 travel agencies are properly registered and whether it’s a Malaysian company or not. From the website, it’s doesn’t show its affiliation to any organization which is rare.

Dynasty Vision Resources

Please treat this email urgently as we do not want to hear another case of Excellence Holidays where it folded up overnight.

Regards.
------------------------------------

Please pass the word around with a link to this blog posting. The reason is because I did receive an email from a blog reader who regretted not reading my blog posting on Holiday Package earlier. This blog reader has purchased the membership and was hoping to cancel it now. Both Dynasty Vision Resources and Slyways Vacation are still operating out there hoping to rope as many members as they can BUT UNFORTUNATELY, they have not been licensed by the Ministry of Tourism.

We can't change the world on our own but if every single person was to lend a hand, the world could be a better place.

Nelson Mandela and Japanese Man

Nelson Mandela was in his house when there was a knock on the door, he answered it and a Japanese man was there. "I have 10,000 windscreen wipers for you" said the man. Nelson said “I don't want them".

The next day Nelson was once again relaxing in his house when there was a knock on the door another Japanese man was there. "I have 6,000 tyres for you". Nelson said "I don't want them now”.

The next day Nelson was having a drink and once again there was a knock on the door again there was a Japanese man on the door step. He said "I have 400 car engines for you". Nelson was really fed up now he said "I do not want them, and why do you Japanese kept bringing car spares to my house".

The Japanese man said "We were told this was the house of the nissan maindealer".

7-11 in China

In China, it's really convenient to find a convenience store. If you can't find a particular one in building, there are those on wheels. They will just pack up and push it into a storage area at the end of the day. Simple. Tags: 7-11, China, Convenience Store

One Billion To Die Due to Tobacco

World Health Organization has stated that one billion people will die by the end of this century due to tobacco-related diseases.

Not frigthening enough? It may be you OR may not be you but the person next to you OR one of your family members. 1 billion divided by 6 billion people on the face of the earth now = staggering 16%. Every 6 persons, 1 will die.

By the way, it's already killing 5.4 million people every year.

Malaysian government did its part by raising the sin tax on cigarettes, a 25% increase in excise duty. A good way to obtain government revenue. In a way, it may deter people from burning their health away in a slow way. Sad scenario in Malaysia is when tax increases, smugglings increased to avoid paying such tax.

Singapore has banned patrons from lighting up in pubs, nightclubs, karaoke lounge ........ for 99% of the patrons "where else can we smoke in Singapore?"......

Most Important Picture in Malaysia

In recent Altantuya murder case being head in the Malaysian court, the deceased Altantuya's cousin (from Mongolia also) has said that Najib Abdul Razak knew Altantuya (even though Najib denied it). The cousin reiterated that Najib had a dinner together with Abdul Razak Baginda and Altantuya while all 3 of them were overseas on one occasion.

Now how do you prove that? A photo would be sufficient of course. I wonder what would happen if such a photo was submitted to the court as an evidence.

I found it actually.................. here and here (actually a threesome photo).
