Jeffrey’s Personal Reflection!

oy! What a week it has been! Jefferson has been asking me to get him merchandise related to Narnia - the current fantasy movie that is showing at the teaters. I am not sure if any parents out are going through this but as a marketer, they are doing it well. The trailers are all over. TV, radio, newspapers!

I was darn tired last nite. Kung Fu Hustle was on AXN. Didn’t want to watch it as I was not so thrilled with Stephen Chow’s performance. Guess HK is running out of movies. Not many good movies are coming out lately.

Today’s Friday - wanted to go out and have a walk around my apartment area. Looks like it started to rain again! Nevertheless, you should check out this site http://local.live.com Gives a different meaning to Google Earth.

Not gonna be doing much. Spend time with family and counting the days before Xmas. The shopping market seems to be rather crowded but I did hear that purchases are down. With the slight rise in the interest rates, the smart shoppers would know what to do. So much for my knowledge on Economics. Do remember this from my Uni days - “increase in interest rates would dampen consumer spending. Cash will stashed at the bank and stocks will be least prefered” Alamak! No wonder I got a B for my Microeconomics.

On the political front, I think the Malaysian Govt spindoctors are spinning it out to Teresa Kok and Kit Siang. Oh my god! They are being accused of misleading the public. Now - what do they mean by misleading? Well, if I were to get an MMS showing a naked woman squatting up and down, I would shudder with fear not because I am afraid of the cops but I am worried of the voyeurism and invasion of privacy that has taken place.

Sometimes, an issue has two sides to it. One side seems to have a positive impact to the eyes of the public and vise versa. For this case, 2 thumbs down to the politicians in parliment. Name callings such as monkeys are being used. Hello, come on ! Be professional and honest. Sometimes it’s always good to be down right honest about things. At least, the current opposition party is doing a good job - 2 THUMBS UP !

Ladies and gents

Have you tried to head back from town and proceeded along the long stretch of Jalan Tanjong Tokong? Bet you will probably be stuck at the round about because…………..Gurney Drive Hawkers have been moved to a piece of land (temporary - not sure if that is true).

I really can’t imagine how the traffic would be on 31 Dec 2005 (midnight)?
