It’s 9am and everyone is back in office half-dead after staying up the whole night watching the Uefa Euro 2008 final match between Spain and Germany on TV.
As usual, just like for the past 3 weeks, we talked about Euro 2008…
A normal conversation over coffee. Obviously, I’m chatting with a couple of Liverpool supporter:
Me: Wow, Spain finally won! Thanks to the goal from Torres.
Tan: Of course, Torres is playing for Liverpool! Spain didn’t actually win the cup, Liverpool did! Hahaha
Me: Haha, Is that so? Oh puh-lease, Torres do not represent Liverpool.
Tan: Oh yes, ask Jeans and he’ll tell you the same, that Liverpool won, not Spain!
Feeling ridiculed, I moved on to another topic. Later I bumped into another colleague, he’s not a Liverpool supporter:
Me: Dude, did you watch the match?
Zack: Well, of course!
Me: Haha, you know what Tan said to me just now? He said that Spain did not win the cup, Liverpool did. Because it was Torres who scored the winning goal.
Zack: Yeah right, well if that’s how he sees it, then you better tell him that that’s the only way Liverpool will ever win anything.
BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
Congratulation Spain for being the EURO 2008 CHAMPIONS!
Ji Ki Sio Hor Sua (一支小雨伞) or A Small Umbrella is also another very popular hokkien song to the hokkien community.
I recalled my cousin John’s wedding dinner, his friends had put on a little sketch/song just especially for him and his newly wed wife, Jocelyn. The song was none other than Ji Ki Sio Hor Sua and we sang together and had a good laugh.
Ji Ki Sio Hor Sua is indeed a very sweet hokkien love song. Been trying to learn this song, hopefully when that day comes, I too can sing it to Julea LOL
Here’s the lyrics to Ji Ki Sio Hor Sua. To those who don’t understand hokkien, I’ve include the translation(Pinyin) for the lyrics, hopefully it’ll come useful to you one da ENJOY.
Ji Ki Sio Hor Sua (一支小雨伞) Lyrics
咱二人 Na Neng Lang Two of us
做阵拿着一支小雨伞 Jhue Din Ghia Tio Ji Ki Sio Hor Sua Together holding a small umbrella
雨越大 Hor Lu Tua Rain is getting heavier
我来照顾你你来照顾我 Gua Lai Jiao Ko Li, Li Lai Jioa Ko Gua I will take care of you, and you will take care of me
虽然双人行相偎 Swee Dian Siang Lang Kia Sio Uaw Although both of us walk so close
遇着风雨这呢大 Du Dio Hong Hor Jia Ni Tua Met strong wind and rain
嵌坎小路又歹行 Orh Am Sio Lor Lu Pai Kia Dark alley getting hard to walk
咱着小心行 Nan Dio Sio Sim Kia We must walk with care
你甲我 Li Ga Gua You and me
做阵拿着一支小雨伞 Jhue Tin Ghia Dio Ji Ki Sio Hor Sua Together holding a small umbrella
雨越大 Hor Lu Tua Rain is getting heavier
渥甲淡糊糊心情也快活 Ark Ka Tham Kor Kor Sim Jeng Ah Khui Wa Even though drenched we are still in a merry mood

Well no, I’m not talking about any government ministries. I’m talking about the Ministry of Sound (MOS).
I remember those days when we go as far as to Singapore just to get to the nearest MOS. Well, not anymore, The MINISTRY OF SOUND will be here in Malaysia and we’ll be partying all night through at Sunway Lagoon Resort.
EUPHORIA by Ministry of Sound will be happening in Sunway Lagoon Resort on the 2nd of July. Time to dig out the phone book and call up my old time party kakis!
POS MALAYSIA TO DISBURSE FUEL SUBSIDY ON 1 JULY 2008
KUALA LUMPUR, Thursday – Pos Malaysia Berhad (PMB) today announced that in line with yesterday’s decision made by the Government on fuel subsidy, PMB has been appointed as the agent for disbursement of this subsidy to eligible vehicle owners. Eligible Malaysians can start to claim the subsidy at all 686 post offices countrywide effective on 1 July 2008.
As announced by the Government, vehicles with valid Road Tax from 1 April 2008 until 31 March 2009 are entitled for the annual subsidy. Owners of cars up to 2,000 cc as well as pick-up trucks and jeeps up to 2,500 cc will receive RM625 for each vehicle. Motorcycles up to 250 cc will receive RM150 each.
Vehicle owners who come personally to make the claim at post offices shall be paid in cash. Those who appoint third parties to claim on their behalf shall receive the Money Order that will be mailed directly to the owner’s address that is furnished to PMB when making the claim.
Further details of the procedures and related documents required for the claim will be announced soon.
“PMB, through its extensive network of 686 post offices countrywide will be ready to serve our customers in handling the subsidy payments in a convenient and timely manner,” said Datuk Abu Huraira Abu Yazid, Acting Managing Director / Group Chief Executive Officer of PMB.
