Nothing is alone or comes single ... that includes the Global Economy Meltdown! Swine Flu Pandemic might be joining in to make things worst!?
Life is interesting... I am sure most of us encountered sometimes in our lives, there are times when you tried everything possible and work your guts out, things would NOT get any better. However when things start to turn, everything is just right and rosy even those you had never asked for or without lifting a finger... interesting. Welcome to the real world.........
Call it Murphy's Law, Law of Universe or whatever you'd like, there is nothing much one can do to change this law of nature, give your best, work as hard as possible, start praying and hope for the best. If our best is still not good enough, hard luck, try again, again & again!
"When the going get tough, the tough get going", that's how the song goes, and how true that is!
Things are not as rosy currently for most of us, but we can be sure that there is always a Spring after long cold Winter, and Sun never fails to rise the next morning after darkness. We need to accept and face one disappointment after another and manage them well..... MORNING always awaits us the very next day!
Hang in there.....!

System Breakdown - Traffic Summon
I was a bit naughty last year beating a traffic light and caught on a traffic camera. That was way back in August last year. After that, I was praying that the camera was a dummy and no traffic summon would be issued to me at all.
As times passed, my hope grew till last week after 9 months, I was surprised that the summon dated August '08 finally delivered thru courier together with another offer notice for compound with deadline in November '08 (in ONE envelope ). This is interesting...... How does the system really work???
The summon was only received 9 months later and the authority expected the offender to pay up at the end of November 08 without sending the notice at all until April '09.
Luckily for me, the compound offer was still valid even it has lapsed in November '08 as it was accepted by the payment counter at the traffic dept without a single question asked (believe this is "normal"), and I was pleased that the authority did not ask me to be present at the court for ignoring the summon.
The question is why do we need to have a system when the enforcement does not even follow it themselves to ensure that the system created is to be effective.
How can the enforcer expect the public to follow rules when they themselves are not following rules of their own creation. Do we not feel embarrassed about this? We have to know where we go wrong before we can fix it!!! We need the authority to wake up and wake up fast.
We are already in 21st century with our new PM calling for change and efficient delivery system. Let's support YAB so that our country can really move forward and makes Wawasan 2020 a reality and Malaysia, a fully developed country.
Let's erase this unwelcome theme for good : "1st class infrastructure but 3rd class mentality"!!!
Malaysia Boleh and not Malaysia Apa Pun Boleh!
