If you read daily papers, you can’t help laughing at all the few funny stories that humans do. For examples, in Kolkata, India, there is this Indian man who took an impersonator to court to get a divorce from his real wife.  The ‘couple’ convinced the court that the divorce is on mutual consent and obtained an immediate approval. What do you think will happen next? The real wife sued the husband for cheating and got the original divorce suspended (Reuters).

Then in Malaysia, polygamy (max. 4 wives), is allowed for Muslim men.  But, one has to seek approval from Islamic Court and show proof that the applicant will be able to support all the wives equally, both financially and sexually; and all wives must agree to the husband intention. Fair? That depends on which angle you view it. What amazes me is the virtuous goodness of some women in this world. Surely, there are not many of them around. I don’t know

Another extreme case happened to one married man I know. This man’s wife was so possessive that she did not allow her husband to use talcum soap when bathing; for fear that her husband might smell so good and ran off with another woman.

Another interesting clip is: customers at bars that play loud music consume more quickly and in fewer gulps (French researchers- Reuters); the increase is from 2.6 drinks to 3.4 drinks (soft to loud). Bar owners, what are you waiting for? Drinkers can’t win; with so many people wishing to make money from them, not to mention the Ear Specialist, the cardiologist ……No offence meant, brothers and sisters, just having a laugh at the world!

As with other races in the World, the Malays have their fair share of Wise Sayings, Quotes and Poems. One that intrigues me (among few others) is:

HIDUP (LIVE) SEGAN (SHY) MATI  (DIE) TA’MAHU (REFUSE)

It literally means: Shy to Live But Refuse To Die. It refers to someone who half-heartedly embarks on something but refuses to surrender to when confronted with failure. In normal case, if for a start you give your best, and it is a noble thing not to easily give up. If you cannot do it, in spite of your best effort, just drop out or drop dead (extreme). Apparently, your best is not good enough. Do not hang on for the sake of hanging on. Get the message.
