PPS: ap AP ap nu'e year agin!
sheepy matey by furong way
where have I been?
keeping all the depressives away!:(
Desi old boy I say "Ahoy"
I have been long adrift from my blogging ploy, no excuses, was just suffering from malaise
Am still away in colder climes
but will be plotting courses back in a moon or two
I see there is still a lot a stinky foot, in our NS backyard
The Labu largess will enrich a few
but such disgraceful plots
are nothing new in BN suppressed Bolehland
We need change, unless the people want more of the same.
PS New Years greetings to all, I have had a unwanted new year present of pneumonia!!! So am sailing a dead slow ahead.
