Thousand-hand Quanyin Dance.


Tai Lihua

Quiet some time ago I posted an article called "Dance of the thousand arms". The accompanying Youtube presentation has been taken off. I think most probably it was because of the accompanying music which replaced the original score. On hindsight, I think it is rather rude and insulting to replace the original music score. The person who removed the Youtube presentation did the right thing.

So here it is. The original "Thousand-hand Quanyin Dance" with the original music score. This spectacular dance presentation was actually one of the items of the musical and dance extravaganza called "My Dream" produced by the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe which toured and impressed the world from the year 2000 onwards.

The petite and pretty dancer infront is Tai Lihua. She lost her hearing at the age of two. She has been dancing with the troupe since she was 15. For the past 16 years, she has performed in more than 40 countries.

Lim Guan Eng, CM of Penang; NOT lackey of UMNO.



Lately we have been hearing criticisms of LGE. That's good positive news! If there is no criticisms, then Penang is trouble again.


For those within DAP who are complaining, why not you take over LGE's job and see whether you are better than him? For those PKR opportunists who are formerly from UMNO, I like to quote LGE's favourite statement, something like "better get used to it." Those former UMNO warlords turned PKR opportunists; if you can't get used to it, go back to UMNO. Good riddance. What about PAS trouble makers? Say what you like.


One message is very clear. Lim Guan Eng is THE CM of Penang, not a lackey of UMNO.

This is childish.


The Malaysian Insider reports:



"An effigy of Penang Chief Minister, Lim Guan Eng was set alight today by a group of protestors from two Malay NGOs, during a demonstration against what the group claims were discriminatory practices by the local administration."


This is childish behaviour of the lowest degree. It reflects on the mentality of these people. There is an absence of social courtesy. I wonder why many "actions" were done after Friday prayers? Where is the common decency of a cultured society. What happen to good manners and decorum?


Look at those hooligans in British football games. Then look at the cultured English gentlemen.

So do me.



"So do me." Do you understand this phrase? You are most probably wrong. You see, language has its peculiarity and absurdity. English language is no exception. How do you pronounce "tyre"? What about "the tyre"? It should be pronounced "teh tarikh". Have one on me.


"So do me" are the mucical notes, silly. Just like "do re mi".


Or is it little children's complaining to the teacher, "So do me!" In this case, "So" is another child's name, and he disturbed his friend; so his friend complained, "Teacher, So do me!"


"So do me" can also be the latest instant mee, cashing in on Anwar's predicament.


"So do me" can be bad English for "So do I."


What if we join the words together...."Sodome"?


This is serious. In certain "puritanical culture" you cannot do what you want even in the privacy of your own house, or bedroom to be precise. These people claim their God-given right that others can do it only the one way. Who knows whether these God-forsaken people follow what they "preached" or "demanded". What the heck. Who cares what Anawara did in his privacy. Of course nobody cares, but some parties just have to "strangle" this Anawara, to get him out of the way from top governance. What a better strategy than to use the "proven method" of the Old Fox with Big Tail. "Big" in Pali is "Maha". So Big Tail can be pronounced as Maha Tail!


So you see, anyone can use language to twist and turn.


Sodomy or So do me! Or rather, "So do I."

PKR must do a real Spring cleaning.


The Chinese New Year is in two weeks' time. Tradition calls for Spring cleaning in most Chinese homes to rid cobwebs and unwanted parasites. Parasites are a species of irritating pests. There is nothing they can contribute to the harmony of the ecology. At least spiders can take care of insects and mosquitoes for us. These parasites are a curse to human existence.


There are also political parasites of the worst kind. They are there just to suck, take and irritate. When there is nothing left for them to suck or take, they irritate. Let's liquidate them once and for all! But like the real parasites, you can never kill them all permanently. So periodically you have to use insecticide and poison to eliminate them.


PKR has to do a serious thorough Spring cleaning. It's long overdue. Don't wait till the last minute. It may be too late by then. These parasites might have inflicted permanent damage.
DO IT NOW!

How smart are you?




Periodically, I would receive some good emails. Below is one of them:


[Raju walked into a very high-tech restaurant in KLCC. As he waited to be seated, he noticed that the Maitre D' was a robot.

The robot clicked to attention and said, "hello, there will be one hour wait. I am programmed to talk with you until a table is ready, If you please."

Intrigued, Raju said, "OK."

The robot clicked a couple more times and then asked, "Sir, what is your IQ?"

Raju answered, "Oh, about 164."

The robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity, interstellar space travel and the latest medical breakthroughs

Raju was most impressed. The next day he returned, But thought he would try a different tack.

The robot again asked, "What is your IQ, sir?" This time Raju answered, "Oh, about 100".

So the robot started discussing F1 racing , the latest PREMIER LEAGUE football results, and the missing jet engine case.

Raju had to try it one more time. So the next day he returned.

Again the robot asked the question, "What is your IQ?"

This time Raju drawled out, " Uh.....What is IQ?"

The robot clicked, then leaned close to Raju and very slowly explained,


" IQ is the level of intelligence that you have."


Raju, "Oh I see! Then I think my IQ should be 15!"


The robot then responded wth the appropriate programmed question:

"A-r-e

y-o-u

p-e-o-p-l-e

g-o-i-n-g

t-o

e-l-e-c-t

B-A-R-I-S-A-N .. N-A-S-I-O-N-A-L

a-g-a-i-n?" ]



By the way, I have altered the last IQ figure to be that low!
