Of Jabba and Orkid...could it be?



The characters in this script are fictitous and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

A "P" scriptwriter...:)

"Orkid, I think we have to sit down and talk" Jabba begins his conversation with his wife. As CEO of 13 + 3 companies, he has to project his status to his peers or at least to the MDs' of his subsidiary companies. Jabba knows that it is not easy to talk sense to Orkid, his wife but he has to...

"Orkid, remember when we visited Mus of Saab? The papers are saying that you took the lead from me and that is not good for my image." Jabba continues.

Orkid looks sharply back to Jabba. She knows Jabba in and out and she knows all the tricks up Jabba's sleeves. She is afterall the person who tip-toed into Jabba's office when he is the MD of the timber company, Rahang. She knows Jabba's weak spots and she took advantage of the weak spots forcing Jabba to abandon his family and in the process offer deals that Orkid's live-in could not refuse.

"So?" Orkid retorted. "What's wrong with that?"

Jabba gaze down the floor, trying to piece his sentence. He knows that Orkid can fly with rage if he gets it wrong. Orkid's asset is much bigger than his and she can pinned him down anytime especially with Orkid's inside knowledge on the timesharing venture for the Steppe's connection that Jabba invested with his buddy-buddy Raze. Something that Jabba wished never happen and something that force Jabba to use all his connections to get the issue disappear ending up with Raze staying in Inguren until the issue die its natural death.

"But, I am the CEO of the conglomorate. I need to be at the front. You know that we are having 5+1 unfriendly MDs'. They can make or break my CEO position and they can also see the end of friendly companies in the next board meeting. They have the numbers..." Jabba continues, "Orkid, all you need to do is to behave properly in company functions"

"I don't care. It's my show now and the rest has to follow. Or do you want me to tell about your timesharing venture? You know, without me, you will never make it to the top of the ladder. You are just an MD in the timber company when I pick you" Orkid is annoyed with Jabba's rantings.

"Who are they to question you? If you say that I am the first employee of the conglomorate, then those MDs and the rest of the employees have to agree." Orkid replies, "Jabba, if I say jump, you should ask how high?, if i say clap you should ask how loud?"

Jabba knows that he is trapped. How he wished he could turn back the clock and repelled Orkid's advances when they first met in Jabba's office in Rahang. Yet, Jabba thought that Orkid was smitten by his prowess as they used to joke that everything is big in Rahang. He never realised that Orkid was setting him up until it is too late and as they say it, the rest is history.

Jabba had reports of Orkid's rendzevous with her carpet seller and shampoo master, something that Jabba could not match with the Pack. Now Orkid is ordering all the CFOs' of the conglomorate to order carpets from the Pack. Yet Jabba is helpless to do anything about the public secret. Jabba had been checkmated by Orkid.

"OK" Jabba responded, "Could you at least give me some dignity?"

"We will see about that" was all Orkid said.

Three days later, Orkid gave her 2/3 hour speech in Saab. A reminder to Jabba on who is in control. Jabba has no choice...In the meantime, the MDs' are shaking their heads in disbelief. Jabba was supposed to be the chosen one to lead the conglomorate into a new era, a new beginning, propelling the conglomorate into higher heights and to be known as 1C...Now it seems, the conglomorate is ready to be taken over by the opposing MDs'.

Jabba look out his car and see the iconic hall where Orkid used to study and the field where she was played at nights. Jabba wiped his pinkish lips as images of his close friend Ram of historic Malk hounded him. Jabba and Ram used to share the same status as heart breakers and ladies men but that was a distant past, something that Jabba again regretted. Sometimes Jabba thinks he is a mirror to JFK. JFK has MM, he has ZZ and both of them are CEOs of conglomorates.

Jabba took out his diary and looked in disbelief. His options are dwindling and the opportunity to call for fresh board meeting is thinning. He is running out of options. Outside, Orkid is calling Washington trying to catch hold of arranger John Low. Orkid wanted John to arrange NY socialites and GROs' to descend to the capital for the coming conglomorates' day.

A moment of silence... for blogger Onebreastbouncing



Life is but a journey. It ends when the heartbeat stops...simple as that...

This morning witness another day where another blogger meets her Maker and that blogger is onebreastbouncing aka Raden Galoh aka Dalilah Tamrin. Her passing was picked up by Another brick in the wall, "Thirteen million plus ringgit" guy and Zorro unmasked.

I will be lying if I were to claim that I knew Raden Galoh but I will not be lying if I were to acknowledged that my other half was diagnosed of having the same cells abnormality as hers.

Although I came to read the news in the early morning "sweep", it takes some time for this person to settle down. Only last year, we lost "The ancient mariner" aka Capt Yusuf but my respect to bloggers who can briefly keep aside their differences and stand together as one to pay respect to a fallen blogger...

Let's have a moment of silence and offer Al-Fatihah and hopefully Allah akan memasukkan Dalilah Tamrin didalam golongan umat yang diredhaiNya...dan semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat. InsyaAllah.

Of Najib's Bertang Lama and Paris Hilton...


Withdrawal symptoms? Maybe...not sure about that.

Najib asked the people to be prudent when announcing his 5 in 1 price hike which he termed as price rationalisation.

Yet the same Najib who championed prudent spending failed to help Bertang Lama folks in central Pahang out of their poverty! Najib talked about propelling Malaysia into a high income society but the same Najib failed to help these folks to earn decent living!

Najib can listen to Rosmah's 40 minute speech but failed to lend his ear to hear the shortcomings faced by 300 Semais! Aren't these Semais Malaysians too?

Remember Najib's 100 days? Remember his walkabouts in Brickfields, Kg Baru and Chinatown? When is Najib planning to do his walkabout inBertang Lama? Or Is Najib more interested in doing some "personal search" on a socialite named Paris Hilton?

Associated Press (AP) reported about this Hilton gal detained in Corcica whilst travelling along "personalities close to powers in Malaysia". Is this true? Who is this personalities close to powers in Malaysia? Najib should be coming out to declare if this news is true or Najib can pass the task to "mode on-mode off" Rais Yatim. Malaysia deserve to know the truth, more so when the government calls for prudent spending! Are the personalities travelling on their own expenses or on Malaysia's "sposored trip"? Is this where our "savings" go to?

Can Najib afford to swat Bertang Lama issue aside? This is reality. Is Najib ready to face and tackle this reality? Only and only if Ros-semak give him her blessings...

Najib's pre-Raya gifts to Malaysians...more sufferings!


16th July 2010 (remember the date!)


Less talk means less drink and less drink means less sugar...
Less travel means less transportation needs and less transportation needs means less fuel...
Less eating means less food and less food means less usage of cooking gas...

AND I AM OPTING FOR..

Less NAJIB and lesser ROS-SEMAK which means least BN (Barang Naik!)

Najib can come up with the usual rhetorics of health reasons (for sugar) and better transportation system (for fuel) bla bla bla but think about these simple first thoughts...

If it is for health reasons then why isn't Najib encouraging ROS-SEMAK to exercise and diet (she looks more and more like Imelda Marcos by the day and her actions too are mirroring Imelda!)

If it is for a better public transportation system, then why are we still having third-rated commuter sustem with sauna-like coaches, known throughout for its perfect inpunctuality? Or busses bought that cannot be used on Malaysian roads? Or Plaza rakyat which has been countlessly delayed? Or the ever increasing tolls?

NAJIB, PAK LAH HAS PROMISED ALMOST THE SAME THING DURING THE LAST FUEL HIKE...DO YOU THINK THE RAKYAT "MUDAH LUPA"? MAYBE THEY DO BUT DEFINITELY THIS CALLER WON'T!!


Najib mentioned of RM 750M savings this year due to these adjustments, but Najib has failed to satisfactorily explained his PM's department's expenditure of RM 4B for 2010! That's almost 5 fold of the savings!! This is not hearsay but a written reply in parliament given by Nazri Aziz (unless he will come up with another "glitch" excuse)

Najib asked the rakyat to be prudent but Najib only knows how to spend, spend, spend...is this true to Najib's "Rakyat diutamakan, pencapaian didahulukan"?

Who walks before Najib? Jeng...jeng...jeng...

Another picture...thousands of words....and it's not doctored!!!

This time, it's Kota Kinabalu and splash in Kota Kinabalu's Daily Express 14th July 2010 edition...

Ask yourself..Najib war-war "Rakyat diutamakan, pencapaian didahulukan" but in reality Najib 's motto is

"Rose-mah diutamakan
rakyat dibiarkan"

Najib, Najib...bila nak sedar... apa, hang kena manderam ka? More than 30 years of experience, Najib still fails in protocol...all because of his protocol-less sleeping partner...

No wonder, Malaysia is going haywire all over the place....courtesy of Najib and Co...
