For Your Weekend Listening Pleasure
It’s the weekend again. Dr Kamsiah and I have chosen to bring in two legends of music, Paul McCartney and Barbara Streisand. We also present a tribute to George Harrison of The Beatles. Let us have a good weekend by listening to some wholesome music.
May the music lift up our spirits when conventional wisdom tells that this is not the time to relax given the state of our country, especially when we know that the same faces from UMNO will be re-elected at the party elections. Both Khairy Jamaluddin and Shahrizat A Jalil are UMNO Youth Leader and Wanita UMNO Chief respectively. We can be certain that Zahid Hamidi will be one of the Vice Presidents.–Dr. Kamsiah and Din Merican

Despite being embroiled in the RM250 million NFC Corporation scandal, PM Najib still publicly endorsed Shahrizat Jalil as Wanita UMNO Chief and she’s winning at time I am posting this – oh my God – why has become of Malaysia? What kind of Prime Minister do we have and the kind of people he surrounds himself with?
Relax with the legendary Les Paul, turn the lights down and pump up the amp. Tomorrow is another day.
Here’s a recent rendition of a classic song
Paul’s surprise concert this week at Times Square:
can anyone spot Mr. Bean in the background?
and thats all we want – Money!
For Bean and Tok Cik, remembering the 60’s when life was much simpler. This one for both of you.
Feeling very homesick after almost 20 years. This takes me back to the ’70s.
Jangan sedih. Nanti abang pulang ya? Sementara itu, jumpa dengan Pak Semper dulu. Pak Din dok tunggu geliran nya. Sabaq !
Yeah semper fi, life was a lot less stressful then, as the present idiots were still in their diapers or were not born yet. Cow in condo gal was still crawling barely able to walk like toddlers do.
Oh! my. This country is really going down the chute.
Pak bean,
I understand how you feel. So did nenek Tante Lien
Jangan sedih Bean, be like my friend Kupangflores here reliving the one night in Cianjur
George Harrison
Moody Blues…….Hey they can be extremely poetic one
I hope that Pak Bean won’t have such feeling. Come on! be a sport la
All the rage in the 60’s, playing to sell out crowd at Stadium Negara. Nowadays they probably won’t get a permit to perform.
SiangMalam,
At the height of the NFC scandal, I’m sure I read somewhere that she would expose him (and a few others in the cabinet) if they did not back her then.
There are over 100 Beatles’ song lyrics and chords, all transcribed from music sheets, available in my website:

“Feeling very homesick after almost 20 years.”

Mr Bean, whatever the state of affairs in this land you so dearly love, you must make all efforts to return even for a brief visit as there are, I’m sure, loads of loved ones waiting to re-establish that bond that may eventually like a rubber-band, lose its elasticity and fade away. Your concerns for the land of your birth is undeniable but Malaysia is sinking by the day and its emergence from the depths like a phoenix can only be determined by every Malay man and woman, as in their hands lies the ultimate fate of this nation.
‘….Malaysia is sinking by the day and its emergence from the depths like a phoenix can only be determined by every Malay man and woman, as in their hands lies the ultimate fate of this nation.’ – anzani
well said Anzani, that is true the fate of the land is in the hands of mahathir, his son and the umno-baru melayus. the day it changes hands Malaysia will rise again from the ashes like the mythological Phoenix.
to Pak Bean,
Roger Whittaker
Pak Bean may have prefered this instead
Who says Asians can’t sing
Don’t know mandarin version of Teresa Teng’s song…..never mind……Just listen to this melayu song
goodnite Mr. Bean
Repper,
We must do something to our house. Anyway, one great song from germany
To the pleasures of Reeper in Germany, pop songs from Germany & Austria
OMG ! You guys are overloading Din’s weekend thread. It will blow his computer 🙂

Malaysia is in a free fall. No one can do anything about that. But I found my freedom over here. I’m no longer what you call a “Constitutional Malay” and I’m not welcome back home. That’s just reality.
