Reading the news naked, or just wearing a bra.

The young people do not read newspapers nowadays. They also do not listen to the news.
So to attract them, you take off your shirt to reveal your boobies in a bra.
Or, you can read the news stark naked.http://vimeo.com/105588842
They might not listen to what you are reading,
but rest assured they will be glued to the boob, I mean tube.

VIDEO: Nude News – Undressed women read Hong Kong news...in Spanish!

It seems there really is a market for everything in Hong Kong. How about undressed women reading the news in Spanish? Yep, apparently so. We were pretty baffled...

Beautiful young Malaysian College student dies at age 20 after partying and returning at 4.30am

the Volkswagon Scirocco and the MyVi

She will be forever 20

A late night birthday celebration ended in tragedy for a college student after the car she was travelling in ran a red light and crashed into a traffic light under the Lebuh Bandar Utama flyover.

An oncoming vehicle then rammed into the Perodua MyVi, killing Chua Yee Jing, 20, and critically injuring the driver, reports The Star.

It was reported that their car was exiting the 1 Utama shopping centre after the party at about 4.30am yesterday when the driver lost control of the car and crashed into the traffic light.

A traffic policeman, who was on duty at the flyover at that time, reported that the car had run a red light at the junction before hitting the post.

“A Volkswagen Scirocco travelling from Puchong towards Kepong at the time was unable to avoid the car and crashed into it. The victim was pronounced dead on the scene,” said Petaling Jaya traffic police chief Deputy Supt Mohamad Roy Suhaimi Sarif.

“The driver is being treated at the intensive care unit of the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre.” The driver of the Volkswagen sustained injuries on the chest.

The case is being investigated under Section 41 of the Road Transport Act 1987. Later, at the UMMC mortuary, where Chua’s family and friends had gathered to claim her body, there were tears as they grappled with news of the tragedy.

Her boyfriend Marcus Wong said Chua was a lovely person, who was dedicated to her family and performed good deeds through Buddhist social activities.

“It’s devastating for everyone who knew her,” he said, adding that Chua was studying at a make-up and beauty college

Poor cows for sacrifice run for their lives during Hari Raya Haji Korban

The last weekend was the Hari Raya Haji Holidays. Many people went back to their hometowns to celebrate "EID" or the celebration of the Haj (pilgrimage to Mecca).

During this day too, cows are sacrificed, slaughtered and their meat distributed to poor families who otherwise, do not get to taste meat throughout the year due to the high cost of beef.

However, last night before I went to bed, I was saddened to see the video of a cow sprinting across the crowded MRRI highway. It had literally escaped the gallows of death and broke from the slaughter house to run for its life down this busy highway!!!

Mengimbau kembali kejadian lembu lari di MRR2 Gombak tahun lepas. Mohon tahun ni tak jadi lagi ...

What I am sad about is that the poor cow was caught and slaughtered anyway by the IMAM.

I would rather it had a happy ending and be allowed to live out the rest of its life at Batu Caves.

http://www.hmetro.com.my/articles/Tigalembularikebandar/MA/Article

In another article, three cows too, escaped in Batu Pahat, my hometown which I had just come back from and ran down busy roads. They were caught too, one fell into a drain, one was found in the forest, but all were sacrificed in the end!!!! they were promised to be sent to Syurga.

berjaya ditangkap di Jalan Mohd Khalid dan Jalan Shahbandar di sini. (they ran and were caught along Jalan Mohd Khalid in Batu Pahat and Jalan Shahbandar)

termasuk ke dalam longkang di Jalan Mohd Khalid (one fell in a drain in Jalan Mohd Khalid)

manakala seekor lagi dibawa semula ke masjid menaiki lori. (one was brought back to the mosque in a lorry)

masih hilang sehingga jam 6 petang dipercayai berada di dalam semak di kawasan Tasik Merdeka,
(one was lost till 6 in the evening and found in a secondary forest in Tasik Merdeka)

A cow being stripped off its meat, piece by piece after the sacrificial slaughtering and butchering..

Banyak yang takut melihat darah
saat Hari Raya idul Adha.
Banyak yang ngeri melihat Sapi/lembu atau kambing dipotong
Saya juga takut melihat darah dan kekerasan
tetapi
Penyembelihan Hewan Qurban bukanlah peristiwa kekerasan
Penyembelihan hewan Qurban adalah perintah Alloh SWT
Saya selalu menyempatkan diri untuk hadir di tempat pemotongan dimana hewan qurban saya dipotong
Terkadang saya malah ingin melihat saat hewan itu disembelih dan
diucapkan nama saya,
Banyak yang berkata hal ini lebih afdol
tetapi banyak yang ingin pula berbagi ditempat jauh
dimana kaum duafa lebih banyak
saya rasa itu pun baik
yang penting kita berkurban secara ihlas
dan semoga Alloh menerima Qurban kita...amin...

(do you want me to translate? I can....)

and many accidents occurred in which human lives were sacrificed.

To end I leave you with a selfie of goats/lambs taken before they were sent to the sacrificial chopping board...

Petrol Price Increase Tomorrow/ Flood Today

My husband popped out of the room to tell me he got a message from Uncle Yam: Petrol prices increase tomorrow. As I drove to my dancing classes, I encountered some slight jam caused by cars queueing up to pump petrol and blocking part of the road....
