SMILE is not some action just to show what we are capable of doing...
SMILE as a habit, because we are gifted with this beautiful and blessed ability.

The MIC president (U-Noe-Who) said everything went on as usual and the turnout was about the same as last year.
“More than a million people are expected to be here but they will come at different times,” he added. (as reported in The Star)
"I have come to Thaipusam since I was 11 years old. I know the crowd. It is the same as before," he (U-Noe-Who) told reporters at Batu Caves. (as reported in Yahoo! Asia News)
Stallholders and devotees lamented the small turnout and said ethnic Indians should work together to promote their cause.
"The crowd is normally double or triple this size. Now it's so small, so there is not so much of a great mood this time," said N. Kumaran, 41, a civil servant who has taken part in the festival for the past 14 years. (as reported in Yahoo! Asia News)
And here's another add-on joke before I close this topic.
In the latest protest by Coalition Against Inflation (Protes) against the rising prices of fuel and other essential items yesterday at KLCC, then again, the G-People denied permit for the gathering for whatever excuse they can come up with again.
Roadblocks were even started to set up as early as Friday...walao eh.
Fine, so as it went on.
And news for today... 56 held for attending illegal protest rally as reported in The Star.
Probably you'll see the headlines of the newspaper tomorrow saying the few of the 56 either being released over warnings, or detained for questions over something about trying to sabotage the Government right before the coming election.
Anyway, that's the news for tomorrow. As for today, well, there is apparently that somebody eat-full-full-nothing-do there really got nothing to do and this is what happened.
Larf if you think it's funny. But don't sue me if you think it's not....~CheeRz~Malaysiakini journalist Syed Jamal Zahiid was detained for “asking too many questions”. According to Jamal, all he had asked was on what grounds were the police arresting people. (as reported in The Star)
Just another test from Tickle...
When life throws us a curveball, we all respond differently. How do you handle stress? Try this test to discover your personal stress style — from high-strung to mellow yellow — and learn how to sharpen your coping skills.
Here's the result...

Terence, you're a Buddha! (whoa....I am? Hahahaha)
You're a Buddha. Eyes half-closed, a slight smile playing on your lips — you accept even the most stressful situations with ease. Nothing seems to surprise you. In fact, you may even tell people that you anticipated the problems you encounter. Stress happens, you might say, so why fight it?Peacefulness takes you a long way toward handling stress, but there's more to it than the path of least resistance. Often, stress is a sign to take action, to make a change, or — at the very least — to get up and jump out of the way! Your placid pace could cause a bottleneck in the stress-processing plant, allowing problems to stick around much longer than necessary. Try moving a little faster the next time you're faced with a sticky situation, and see if you can't be cool and courageous at the same time.
