Wimbledon 2008

She's out! Goooood riddance!

At this year's Wimbledon, she had a new outfit. Asked to comment on the new tuxedo inspired do, she said that she wanted something classy. Hello? That's like saying McEnroe collects art. Oh wait, he does! What is the world coming to?

I gotta' admit that she's a hottie. Ever since Kournikova left the tennis scene, the guys have been looking for a replacement. Along came Maria, athletic with long legs and a pretty face to match. When she first registered on my radar, I thought she was babelicious. That was until I saw her play. What a screamer! I have to say that it's more irritating than Seles (is she still around?). At least Seles wasn't out trying to prove that she's classy.

Anyway, Ana Ivanovic's my girl. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

WTF! #6

KOTA BARU: Muslims wearing the serban (turban) instead of crash helmets will not be booked until the Kelantan traffic police untangle a confusion over the interpretation of the related traffic regulation.

State police chief Senior Asst Commissioner (I) Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi said he had ordered a stop to the issuance of summonses pending a directive from Bukit Aman and possibly the Attorney-General.

He has referred the matter to Bukit Aman’s legal division to study the interpretation of serban in the current traffic ordinance.

SAC Abdul Rahim said this after handing over 102 Proton Waja vehicles to investigating officers from the narcotics, crime, commercial crime and traffic police departments.

He said the exemption was only for motorcyclists wearing the traditional serban and not other forms of headgear.

“Those wearing other than the strict version of serban will be booked,” he said.

In Ipoh, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said there should be no exceptions to the law.

Exempting those with serban from being summoned, he said, would give rise to others using it as an excuse not to wear helmets.

The confusion arose on Tuesday after Pasir Tumboh religious school student Ahmad Nasir Darus, 27, challenged a traffic summons issued for not wearing a crash helmet on Sept 20 last year in the magistrate's court.

His counsel Ahmad Rizal Effende Zainol cited a clause stating exemptions accorded to motorcyclists which covers those who are classified as “Haji, Hajjah, Lebai and Singh.”

Ahmad Rizal argued that motorcyclists wearing serban could be described as lebai (pious man). Souce:http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/6/26/nation/21657997&sec=nation

Didn't know that the matter was even debatable. They must think that 'pious men' are immortals.

I'm too young for this shit...

Damn, I've been in pain for the past week. Excruciating pain. It came with no warning. Big toe's swollen and hurts whenever I move it. Docs say it might be gout. Fuck! At my age? Double damn. Waiting for my blood results to be sure but after reading up on the symptoms of gout, I think they're right. Ageing sux...

On a happier note, Tiger won in a thrilling playoff!
