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.
