There was this new magazine, Malaysian one, named GDED,sorry it's EDGE lying around in my house. Pretty interesting magazine about the history and lifestyles in Malaysia. There was this funny article by Patrick Teoh 'kutuking' broadband and 3G technology. It was darn funny.

And one part of an article by Dato Abdul Hamid bin Dato' Sidek. Here's an excerpt from it that got me laughing to myself:-

My grandson came and saw me the other day and i was shocked to see that he had purple hair and a ring through his nose. I asked him if he was trying to look like a circus pig but he said that nowadays it doesn't matter how you dress. He proved this by telling me that he is now the CEO of a search engine that has been listed on Nasdaq and is worth $1 billion. I didnt understand a word he was talking about. And that's not only because he has a strange American accent and calls himself DJ Screw.

And there was an article that shocked me to the brim...Malaysia actually had it's own strip tease queen and her name was Rose Chan. The first time i heard that name was in Kopitiam a few weeks back, when that Uncle Maniam and Uncle Kong held a convention on Rose Chan. I had no idea who she was and just took in for granted that she must have been some old actress. When i came across the article complete with illustrations (of course la the parts were covered), i almost chocked. The article was pretty sad though. She blamed her background for being who she was.in some sense, that could be true. But if you blame your orphan background and poverty, then almost all the beggars would have turned to this kind of lucarative bussiness wouldnt they? Ah well, i wouldn't know what kind of hardship she had to face so i shall not judge.

Check out the magazine sometime. It's pretty cool.
