		<description>MB,

If Dr. N looks like Daniel Craig then I don&#039;t mind being his patient. Gosh! he is hot...opppss! I mean Daniel Craig.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Zoe

Sorry to disappoint you, Zoe. Dr N doesn&#039;t look like Mr Craig. But he does look like Salman Khan, if that&#039;s any consolation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Salam bro,

Send my regards to Dr N when you see him. Mayhaps, he would want to join in the demo I told you about.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cakapaje
I will (if I remember). But I don&#039;t think he will be interested in the demo. He&#039;s got a job now wuth the Malaysian Aids Council (or something like that)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Happy new year - will try not to comment on the much discussed attire as one man&#039;s underwear is another&#039;s trunk.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kak Teh

Indeed! This seemed to be the case with Dr N and is father.

Happy New Year, ma&#039;am&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>I taught a couple of kids whose fathers were from MCKK.
The sons, though too young to be in MCKK have certainly inherited the colourful characters of the MCKK blogging ex-boys I read these days. Malay boys do have their moments eh? :)

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Percicilan

That&#039;s true isn&#039;t it? MCKK boys are colourful. Some of these MCKK boys count as my closest friends. Its good to know that the &#039;colourfulness&#039; has rubbed on their kids, too.

Thanks for visiting. How&#039;s your aikido coming along?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>You know, that was a mighty long break you had, making me clicking this link in vain. Sheeesh. 

But, when you write, there is no need for other people - myself included - to even dream of writing fiction or otherwise. You, Sire, make us all pale in comparison. 

Best I go back to lawyering. Sob sob sob!

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Elviza

Once again, you have been too liberal with you praise. But hey, I&#039;ll take it wherever I can get it. Thanks.

The thing about this blogging is that it doesn&#039;t pay well - in fact, not at all! I&#039;d take to lawyering any day. Switch skills with me? No? I thought so...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ah at long last, another long-awaited entry!!
I am sure your life must be filled with many interesting &amp; colourful characters.  Certainly many worth blogging about.

Anyway, I am trying to imagine how your prosperity girth looks like .... can only remember you during those skinny MRSM days :D  Heck, we were all skinny then!

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;QOTH

My prosperity girth? Let&#039;s see... I am now 46 and my waistline matches my age (in inches). Put in another way, when I stand-up straight, I don&#039;t get to see my feet anymore :-) Not very pretty, I assure you. And heck! I wish I could still remember how I looked when I was skinny...

Yes QOTH, I have been blessed with meeting and knowing some very colourful characters. I will be blogging about them - soon.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Another excellent essay. I was never in a boarding school. But one does not need that to have memories of gawky scenarios when a friend was caught in a trying situation. 

We had a dandy classmate, D, in my time, who always had longer hair than regulations permitted. But his excuse was that he had Sikh roots (tho&#039; I had my suspicions otherwise). 

Be that as it may, there was one afternoon when we were playing a round of football. The ball had gone into the penalty box and D (a completely useless poseur of a centre-forward) rose to head the ball. Everything went awry for him. 

Poor sod. His glasses went flying eastwards. His hair was flaying westward. His head was in the northerly direction. His legs were somewhere south.

Gravity took care of him. As he crashed onto Mother Earth, his left and right legs decided to go in opposite directions causing a tremendous strain on the stitching of his extra-tight pants in the crotch area. 

As expected, the stitching gave way to reveal to all and sundry that he was wearing a G-string-like underwear (which was peculiar enough). This ghastly sight was compounded by the colour of the undergarment. 

It was bright red in colour. Thereafter, he was dubbed &quot;Red &#039;Spender&quot; for some years.

Undaunted, he went on to become Sudirman Haji Arshad&#039;s manager for a spell. Not a bad gig for &quot;Red &#039;Spender&quot;.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;de minimis

A centre-forward wearing a red G-string? Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious.

Now I&#039;m wondering if his penchant for women&#039;s underwear had anything to do with his landing a cushy job as Sudir&#039;s manager...

Thanks for sharing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Mat-san,

Happy New Year wishes and all the best for what promises to be a most challenging 2009.

Yes, you`ll find a Dr.N in almost any grouping. He is always fully contented with his lot, and yet contentment  remains just a dream to most of us, even amongst those who appear to have almost everything, and have achieved almost everything there is to be achieved out there.Name it...money, power, position, class,looks etc...they appear to have it all,yet, are they contented?Far from it!

Perhaps, there`s a lof truth in the adage that happiness, and contentment, is not in reaching the final destination, but lies in undertaking the journey itself.

Meantime, Mat-san, what`s with the MCKK thingy(and MRSM, to a lesser extent)?Truly hoping that Eaton of the East, in all its majesty amidst the serene  and lush surroundings of the Royal town of Kuala Kangsar, has had some indelibly positive effects on you most recently(if my hunch is right).

Yours truly, and Mat Salo(amongst others), spent our wonder years there. at the time when Cream, Jimmy Hendrix,Janis Joplin and Jethro Tull were the rage, and when the world revolved just around the flower people,and Woodstock    . ...hence the little question above.

Anyway, Mat-san, welcome back after that month long sabbatical.Cheers!

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Higashi-san

Yes! I passed by Kuala Kangsar lately and the A-4 Skyhawk that&#039;s parked near the clock tower knocked my socks off.

That&#039;s right, bro. Mat Salo and I (and I suspect you, too) are remnants from that wonderful era of Hendrix, Clapton, Joplin, marijuana (medicinal, of course) and Volkswagen Combi vans. They don&#039;t make Fender Telecasters like they used to anymore.

The thinggy about MCKK? I&#039;m just poking some (non-malicious) fun at that very honourable institution. Just to prove my non-discriminatory policy, I poke fun at where I was from, too - MRSM :-)

Its good to be back Higashi-san&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
