Tale of Mari and the three puppies - conclusion


Okay, I am done with watching: A tale of Mari and the three puppies. Kids + Momma dog + puppies + a strong plot = make you cry like an old lady. Hahahaha!! Anyway, I've got to
say that the actor pooch, which is a good looking female Shiba Inu had really captured my heart.And since these dogs are small and nimble, there's a strong appeal factor. Speaking of the flick, I'd say that the
storyline is a heartwarming and feel good piece for the family. Basically, the plot touches on family unity and a tragedy that brought everyone together. As for the actor pooch
and the pups, I'd say that they really did a good job. They made me hug my boy and gurl and appreciate the loyalty that a dog yeilds.

What now?



Here's the lowdown: Thule of Sweden (manufacturer of roof racks and boxes) has given Perodua (Second national car manufacturer) the mandate to fuck motorists who use their brand when they sealed an exclusive deal to sell Thule racks and roof boxes.
Today's cellphone call charges may be the highest in my life. Since I found out that there is a boarding
service for dogs in Penang, I am planning to take my dogs there.Now, with the issue of taking dogs with us for our family excursion up North solved, the next thing now, is to
add a roof box to our small car.So, I went to a supplier in SS2. It has been month since I left my contact number there and no feedback. I
decided to drop by during lunch and found out that nothing is being done.I called Thule's showroom in Ikano power centre and was told that Perodua has taken over the sales of
their Thule roof racks.To get more info, I had to call Perodua's service centre in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. Earlier in the day, I
called Perodua and they've denied doing so.Then, I called their service centre and one of the staff there told me that he would get back to me on the
matter.Later, he called and confirmed that they indeed have the items in stock. But now, pricing became a big
factor.Earlier at the first dealer, I was told that the complete set costs around RM2,350. At Perodua, those
motherfuckers are selling it at RM2,727. After all good things said and done, I would have to decide. With the incompetent dealers around,
Perodua has the upper hand...

Needs help!


Well I'll be damned! Just when I thought the day was smooth, a caller rang up to say that his wife was
detained by some store security folks at Jaya Jusco in Puchong."I want to put this in the paper! My wife did nothing wrong!", he said. The man, who was very emotional,
said he will lodge a police report.He insisted for publicity. I told him that I can't help him on such a case and put down the phone. Not
satisfied, he rang up again and gave me a mouthful.So, I transferred his call to the newsdesk. This is a petty thing and blowing it out of proportion may not end
up well for the guy and his wife.Now, obviously, if she had done nothing wrong, there is no fuss. The one thing I noted all this while is that
Indian folks do get highly emotional.That alone, was an alarm bell. Next, the guy was in the height of his emotional breakdown, his voice
started to go out of pitch and he was screaming. Another warning sign.The danger is this ; if I allow one to get through, a couple of thousand will ring up and demand 'justice'. The
newspaper is not an avenue to air such greviences.
