A New Year's Wish
On New Year's Eve, Marilyn stood up in the local pub and said that it was time to get ready. At the stroke of midnight, she wanted every husband to be standing next to the one person who made his life worth living.
Well, it was kind of embarrassing. As the clock struck - the bartender was almost crushed to death.
Lecture Tour with A Difference
On New Year's Eve, Daniel was in no shape to drive, so he sensibly left his van in the car park and walked home. As he was wobbling along, he was stopped by a policeman. 'What are you doing out here at four o'clock in the morning?' asked the police officer.
'I'm on my way to a lecture,' answered Roger.
'And who on earth, in their right mind, is going to give a lecture at this time on New Year's Eve?' enquired the constable sarcastically.
'My wife,' slurred Daniel grimly.

Politician in Action
A Senator in the USA was once asked about his attitude toward whisky.
'If you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the body, desecrates family life, and inflames sinners, then I'm against it. But if you mean the elixir of a New Year toast, the shield against winter chill, the taxable potion that puts needed funds into public coffers to comfort little crippled children, then I'm for it. This is my position, and I will not compromise.'

New Year Jokes - One Liners
To kick start my New Year, I took an IQ test and the results were negative.
The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass
When I thought about the evils of drinking in the New Year. I gave up thinking.
How to Quit Smoking
Peter, at a New Year's party, turns to his friend, Ken, and asks for a cigarette.
'I thought you made a New Year's resolution to quit smoking,' Ken responds.
'I'm in the process of quitting,' replies Peter with a grin. 'Right now, I am in the middle of phase one.'
'Phase one?' wonders Ken.
'Yeah,' laughs Peter, 'I've quit buying.

Finally, thank you dear reader for following my blog, reading it at your leisure, sharing your thoughts, opinions and comments - and for your support and friendship through the past year. I appreciate all that you have done for me even via your silence. The knowledge that you come here to read my rants, opinions and serious/silly stuff keeps my mind alert as I continue to blog. As we reach the end of 2009, let us pray for one another, our nation and those who are not as fortunate as we are, particularly orphans, widows and the elderly. May God bless all of us as we bid goodbye to 2009 and say hello to 2010.
Take care and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

QQ "I appreciate all that you have done for me even via your silence."
I like your statement, haha! Does it mean (for once) silence is golden?
God bless you.

What the crystal ball says: A peep into M'sia 2010
"Should Tiger make his way to Malaysia, which the Minister confided was likely to happen sooner rather than later, the Minister said that Tiger would be given permanent residency status as well as made the poster boy for the country’s ‘Malaysia My Second Home Programme’."
"This lifelong leadership position would reduce political conflict as all leaders then would not have to deal with succession challenges or disputes and would be able to concentrate on the mission of performing their best for the country without any fear of being booted out prematurely (or until they had fully feathered their nests as one cynic pointed out)."
"Meanwhile Che Det in his blog declared that “I have again proven wrong the skeptics who scoffed at my population target of 70 million for the country. We will arrive at this figure in my lifetime”, he predicted."
This article made my New Year's day. Cheers. Welcome to surrealand.

Many thanks for your responses to my post and for your festive greetings. I am now back in Malaysia and apologize for the late response as it was difficult to get net access at times.
Do take care and have a lovely new year!
Warmest wishes

edward Dear MWS,
My sincere gratitude goes to you for the many inspiring and enlightening articles you have penned or brought to our attention, not to mention the compilation of amazing jokes...naughty or otherwise haha.
This new year morning I came across an interview that the Nat Geographic magazine had with Spore's Lee KY. I find it very interesting especially on matters relating to governing Spore. I think we can learn something from the pragmatic ideas of this man. The link here -http://www.channelnewsasia.com/annex/mmlee_natgeo.pdf
Happy New Year and may this year brings Malaysians closer together as a people.
Best wishes,
Edward

A Arthur Yes this is indeed a New Year Special. I like the one "Politician in Action". I am a non-drinker but that does not mean that I abhor people who drinks. Perhaps this may well apply to our former PM's son who sits on the board of Miguel Beer in Philippines. He is a Muslim and liquor is forbidden. But he sits on the company which brews beer. Ha ha such controversy when it comes to money. Semua Boleh.
Wishing all your blog readers a Happy New Year.

Village Boy It is undeniable that a lifetime passes so quickly that it seems like only a fleeting moment. And for that very reason, let's aim to make a single lifetime the happiest flowering of a purpose accomplished with pride by living each day cheerfully, positively, honorably, and without regret.
Happy New Year.
