Obedient Wives Club to offer sex lessons on how to pleasure husbands
Erm... Guys, seriously will you stop f*cking around if your gf/wive make sure you're always happy in bed (only)? Just curious...
RAWANG: Sex lessons to help wives “serve their husbands better than a first-class prostitute” will be among the courses provided by the Obedient Wives Club (OWC) to help promote harmonious marriages and counter social ills.
Its vice-president Dr Rohaya Mohamad said it was time sexual prowess took a front seat in marriage beyond the traditional “good mother or good cook” roles.
“A good or religious wife is also sexually good in bed,” she told reporters after the launch of the club's Malaysian chapter at the Perangsang Templer Golf Club Saturday.
A husband who was kept happy in the bedroom would have no reason to stray or seek out prostitutes or indulge in other social vices, said Dr Rohaya, who was a medical doctor for 15 years in the Health Ministry before taking a leadership role in the club.
“The family institution is protected and we can curb social ills like prostitution, domestic violence, human trafficking and abandoned babies,” she said, adding that she believed these problems stemmed from unfulfilled sexual needs at home.
Dr Rohaya, said the club would also offer counselling and lecture sessions for wives, husbands or couples.
She said the Malaysian chapter had around 800 members while its Jordan chapter had 200, with the Indonesian chapter set to be launched on June 19 in Jakarta.
When questioned whether wives should remain obedient if their husbands still abused or cheated on them with prostitutes, Dr Rohaya said everyone was subject to God's rule.
“God has his ways and is fair to all. A husband is also subject to God's rule, meaning he can go to hell too. But a woman must be a good wife to the end,” she said, adding that according to Islam, women should pray, fast during Ramadhan, protect their chastity and obey their husbands if they wanted to enter Heaven.
OWC and the Polygamy Club was formed by Global Ikhwan Sdn Bhd, an organisation founded by former members of the banned Al-Arqam Islamic group.
A mass wedding reception for eight couples was also held during the launch.
The brides were aged 18 to 22 while the grooms were aged 20 to 48. All are OWC members and agreed that disobedient wives were the cause of many social ills.

Difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED
People say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISHED....
But there is. When you marry the right one, you are COMPLETE....
And when you marry the wrong one, you are FINISHED.....
And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are...
COMPLETELY FINISHED...!!!

400 people volunteered for a one-way trip to Mars
Sure, most of us are curious about what life on Mars would be like. But I'm betting most of us wouldn't volunteer to move there permanently.
There's no shortage of people who would make the one-way trip if given the chance, according to TIME magazine and Fox News. They report Journal of Cosmology editor Lana Tao received about 400 emails from readers eager to move to Mars, excited by an aricle about the possibility of sending humans to the planet.
The article suggested that a one-way trip would be cheaper, making colonization a more realistic option.
This sounds like a scene from a bad science-fiction movie, but Tao assures us its it's for real.
TIME gave an example of the kind of letters Tao has received:
"I am ready to go to Mars. Sign me up," wrote 69-year-old computer programmer Pasha Rostov. "I do VERY well with solitude," he wrote. "I am handy with tools, very good at making things work, have generated my own solar energy, built three houses (with my own hands) and am quite sane and stable."
Some scientists aren't convinced people know what they're volunteering for. Life on Mars could actually be frightfully boring, not to mention fatal.

Mahathir-The most corrupted person in the World
Malaysia has squandered an estimated RM100 billion on financial scandals under the 22-year rule of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, according to a new book about the former prime minister.
According to Barry Wain, author of the soon-to-be launched ‘Malaysian Maverick: Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times’, direct financial losses amounted to about RM50 billion.
This doubled once the invisible costs, such as unrecorded write-offs, were taken into account. The RM100 billion total loss was equivalent to US$40 billion at then prevailing exchange rates.
Barry, who is a former editor of the Asian Wall Street Journal, says most of the scams, which included a government attempt to manipulate the international tin price and gambling by Bank Negara on global currency markets, occurred in the 1980s.
‘Malaysian Maverick’ is the first independent, full-length study of Mahathir, who retired in 2003 after more than two decades as premier. The book will be published globally next week by Palgrave Macmillan.
Wain writes that the Mahathir administration, which took office in 1981 with the slogan, “clean, efficient, trustworthy”, was almost immediately embroiled in financial scandals that “exploded with startling regularity”.
By the early 1990s, he says, cynics remarked that it had been “a good decade for bad behaviour, or a bad decade for good behaviour”.
Secret military deal with US
The book also reveals that:
Mahathir, despite his nationalistic rants, signed a secret security agreement with the United States in 1984 that gave the Americans access to a jungle warfare training school in Johor and allowed them to set up a small-ship repair facility at Lumut and a plant in Kuala Lumpur to repair C-130 Hercules transport aircraft.
Mahathir used a secret fund of his ruling Umno to turn the party into a vast conglomerate with investments that spanned almost the entire economy.
Mahathir’s Umno financed its new Putra World Trade Centre headquarters in Kuala Lumpur partly with taxpayers money, by forcing state-owned banks to write off at least RM140 million in interest on Umno loans.
Wain, who is now a writer-in-residence at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore, however credits Mahathir with engineering the country’s economic transformation, deepening industrialisation and expanding Malaysia’s middle class.
But Mahathir had undermined state institutions, permitted the spread of corruption and failed to provide for Malaysia’s future leadership, he says.

Last year, Petronas gained a total pre-tax profit of RM86.8 billion and so far, it has earned about RM600 billion.

Combined they could easily amount to the hundreds of billions of ringgits!
35. Wastages and forward trading of Petronas oil in the 1990s based on the low price of oil then. Since the accounts of Petronas are for the eyes of Prime Minister only, we have absolutely no idea of the amount. Whatever amount, you bet it is COLLOSSAL!
In Time Asia magazine issue on March 15 2004, South East Asian economist at Morgan Stanley in Singapore Daniel Lian, figures “that the country may have lost as much as U$$100 billion (RM320 billion) since the early 1980s to corruption.” Mind you, this is only corruption and it does not include wastages!
All the rakyat’s hard earned money down the drain and they have the audacity to raise fuel prices and asking the people to change their lifestyles.

The Sad Story of Wander The Abused Stray
For us, it was a bumpy start to the year - one of our volunteers, S, has been feeding the strays for many years and one of the strays named Wander that he has been feeding was badly abused by foreign worker. To many stray feeders, it's a heartbreaking sight for them because the strays are just like their own children. The stray feeders usually spend alot on food etc from their own pocket.
S then tried to self medicate the dog but unfortunately, the wound got really bad that escalated to wound infections.The rest of MWS volunteers got to know about Wander's plight and quickly raised funds to help in Wander's medical bills. Wander had been sent to vet today for medical treatment. Why would someone do such cruel thing to a poor defenceless life?
Our first sight of the dogs was shocking.
The purpose of this post is to document and highlight the current inhumane and abusive treatment of dogs in Singapore, with the hope that worldwide knowledge and attention will support and assist the people in securing adequate and necessary animal welfare protection.
We hate to think how many more strays are being abused and left to suffer to die out there. We know there are foreign workers who kill the strays for their meat.
It's time our local animal welfare should do something to these animal abusers. More harsh penalties should be imposed.
For now, please pray for Wander's speedy recovery.
Wander is currently recuperating at Mdm Wong Shelter.
Lastly, not forgetting S who saved her life. If Wander is left untreated in the wild, she would have die very soon.
Let's do our part in saving these strays and report when we witness any animal abuse.

Tips on Photography, Mouse's way!
Tips on Photography: By buying a camera, no matter how expensive, you are just a camera owner. It DOES NOT make you a photographer! The camera DO NOT make the photographer. It can only TAKES the photos, but you are the one MAKING the photos... the art, if you have them.
1) Focusing ~ With an auto-focus camera, always depress the shutter button half-way & let the cam focus. You will see green hi-lighted box appearing in the view finder. The green box is the area where the cam is focusing. If the green box is not at the subject you want, most probably the image will be blur, out-of-focus. You can also check the sharpness on the view finder before pressing the button down all the way. If the view finder show a blur image, DO NOT press the button all the way. Release the button & depress it half-way again. Check again before shooting. Most people get blur image is cos of this, by not pressing the button half-way & check. Pushing the shutter button all the way down at 1 go is NOT the correct way of photography by auto camera!
2) Composition Focusing ~ Sometime when you want the main subject to be at the side of the frame, but the stupid auto cam refuse to focus at the side. In such case, the auto cam will focus at the center which most probably is the background & the main subject will be blur. What to do? No worry. The cam is stupid, but are you? Just shift the cam a little to put the main subject at the center of the frame, press & hold the shutter button half-way to let the cam focus on the main subject. When you see the main subject is sharp, shift the cam back to frame what you want to. The cam is stupid & you can trick it easily. =P
3) +/- Compensation For Light & Dark Background ~ To shoot against a very bright/back-lighted or white background, push +2 to compensate. To shoot against a dark or outdoor night background, push -2 to compensate. This way, the people or main subject in the pic won't be too dark(underexposed) or too white-out(overexposed).
4) Horizon ~ Always watch the horizon or the ground. Level it will the image or you will see a tilted pic. Best is to switch on the grid in the view finder of the camera. I'd seen so many tilted pics that I'm sick of them. For heaven sake, are you always drunk, groggy when shooting pics?
5) Background ~ Always, always watch the background of the subject you want to shoot. NOT noticing the background is forever the mistake of fools with camera! Imagine photographing a gorgeous girl & in sexcitement, you frame her with rubbish bins or a big dirty drain showing behind her?!? WTF? You just destroy a beauty! Move the subject if possible! If subject is not possible to move, MOVE YOURSELF! Move to find a better angle! Be flexible. If you are too fix, you will never be a photographer, not in a million years!
6) Angles ~ Almost everyone who have a camera tend to shoot it at eyes level. OMFG! What's wrong with your bloody brain?!? Robot? Take out cam, stand still, point with hand straight out & shoot? You called that photography?!? Certain subjects will appear better if you shoot it from a lower or higher angle. So, lower your cam or find a higher ground. Sigh... fat will still be fat, no help there, BUT many other subjects can appear better, nicer in photo by using the correct shooting angle. It's called 'optical illusion'. The camera lens DOES NOT operate or view the world like your eyes. What you see with your eyes might not be exactly what the camera will record. That's a mistake most people made. "I can see it, so my photo will turn out as according to what I saw" WRONG!
7) Night/Dark or Low Light Environment ~ How many times have you seen people taking pics at night or indoor/low-light condition without turning on their camera flash & without tripod? You wanna bet the pics will turns out good? In most cases, I will bet you my last dollar that the pics taken that way will be fuck-up lousy! Remember rule #6? What you see is not what you gets in the photo. Your eyes can adept to low light, but the camera has its limit. So, either you up the ISO/ASA known as film speed which most probably, you will gets grainy, blur pic or PLEASE, PLEASE turn on the bloody flash! If your flash is too small or the subject is too far, forgets it. In low light or night environment, try not to place the subject too far away, especially when you have a small flash. I always laughed whenever I see some idiot tries to photo a low-lite huge subject(might be a building or display) a hundred meters away at night. No flash in the world can do it! You need the sun. LOL!
8) Composition ~ How many times that you want a pic of a HUGE subject(a mall display, building, monument or landscape) & you want your friend(s) to be in the pic?... When you completed the shot, where is your friend in the pic? You mean that TINY speck is him/her?!? How the fuck to recognize whether that little dot in the photo is anything but just a dot?!? Idiot! Oh, be console that you are not the only idiot around. Many people make this stupid mistake. Please, for pete sake, MOVE your friend(s) AWAY from that HUGE thing & place them NEARER to you or rather, your camera. That means, first, frame the big subject you want in your cam. Then, place your friend(s) till you see them occupying about a quarter or a fifth of the frame. Full length or half-body portrait will be up to you to decide. STOP! DO NOT press the shutter button just yet. I know what mistake you are going to make... remember rule #2 above? Yeah... after all the arrangement & if you forgets about rule #2, all will be for nothing. So, after your placed the big X'mas tree & your friend(s) nicely in the frame, do rule #2 - means focus the cam on your friends, then shift the cam back to what you want to frame before fully pressing down the shutter button. There! If you did it correctly, what you will get is a pic with the big X'mas tree nicely in the background & your friends appearing recognizable with big smiling faces in the foreground.
P/S: Oh... in case if any1 ask why my language is so asshole fuck-up, tell them if they wanna be pamper by sweet words, go find their mommy to teach or pay for a photography course. LOL!
