On Thursday last week (July 21) I wrote three posts in the wake of the announcement of US Department of Justice's (DoJ) civil lawsuits related to 1MDB,
A response to Annie's 136 pages of hard read
I had not written that many posts in a single day for quite a while.
The total number of pageviews of this blog on that day was 4,768.
Yesterday, I just wrote this seemingly inconsequential post about Marina Mahathir and her armpits,
And the total number of pageviews of this blog yesterday was 4,433.
To prove that I'm not making this up, here's a screenshot of this blog's latest monthly pageviews chart
The two spikes in the red circle are readings of pageview counts on those two days.
So, what does that tells us?
For me, it's an indication that what to many seems insignificant may actually be almost as important for Malaysians as the big issue.
Yes, what Marina Mahathir wear may have almost the same amount of impact as an allegation that billions of ringgit were stolen from us all.
That's the reality of things in this country.
We actually care about the "small things".
Of course some of us will try to deny this, claiming that we are more matured and sophisticated than that.
But, for me that's pride talking more than anything else.
That's why we failed to see the full extent of what's coming to us.
For example, we knew that the Chinese tsunami was coming prior to GE13 but we never expected it to be so huge that BN almost got wiped out by it.
Hey, the Chinese cannot be that fickle minded that they would swallow every garbage that DAP dished out to them, so thought many of us.
I was one of those with that kind of thinking back then.
And how wrong I was, right?
The same thing happened these past few months.
Everyone thought the Chinese are as a whole in the DAP's bag.
The results of the Sarawak election as well as the Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Besar by-elections proved that we were wrong.
We failed to realise that the Chinese actually do care about the seemingly small things such as the not so nice behaviour of DAP people.
I bet the DAP people didn't see that coming too.
So, lesson of the day was that - pakai lah baju yang tak nampak ketiak so that the pakchik and makchik dikampung tak salahkan cara ayah mendidik awak.
Don't be so high and mighty to think that we can do anything we want because it should be so trivial for anyone to care and censure us about it.
The reality is, Malaysians care about all those things, okay.
Now you know why despite all the allegations against PM DS Najib Razak, he may still be our prime minister after the next general election.
"So, lesson of the day was that - pakai lah baju yang tak nampak ketiak so that the pakchik and makchik dikampung tak salahkan cara ayah mendidik awak".
ReplyDeleteA Wonderful Malay proverb : "Pake Dulang Paku Serpih......(other commentators please feel free to continue).
Thank you in advance.
Ya lah ya lah...I also wear like that sometimes, but I'm not a daughter of Dr Mahathir, okay.
DeleteHa ha ha Annie. You cheer up my tired evening.

DeleteYaa lorr .....Annie kasi gambar maa aa , itu Marina tatak oomp! maa aa .
"Pakchik and makchik"?...pelik spelling lah you Annie?
ReplyDeleteWording and style writing seems different from your usual style. Did you really write this?
I'm a long time of yours, Annie. Please continue to write from the heart. Don't sell out, like that gelatinous gargantuan ghoul of an Ah Soh.
All best.
I'm not selling out. Nothing to sell anyway.
DeleteBtw, you pun nak start showing graphs and page hits to prove your articles?
ReplyDeleteThat's just a scree shot la. I tak pandai buat graphs and charts. Saja la dah ada, letak sekali. If not, people asyik accuse me of lying pulak.
DeleteAnnie,
ReplyDeleteHa ha, yeah.
But ketiak discussions are a bit trivial, so I didn't even bother to comment.
Please don't become like that chubby lump of hypocritical pig fat, who whacks other women for being fat and ugly, somehow forgetting that (- seriously -) she is one of the ugliest women I have ever laid eyes on. Yukkkkkkk.
Hmmmmmmm, too close to lunchtime to think of Blobby.
Nanti muntah pulak!
'(- seriously -) she is one of the ugliest women I have ever laid eyes on.'.........cina biasa mata sepet, makcik tua tu xde mata langsung.....lol
DeleteSurely your readers are not reflective the nation view. The whole nation is asleep couldn't care less if it is being plunder. Your graph is reflective of the quality reader you have which is inclusive me.
ReplyDelete"Yes, what Marina Mahathir wear may have almost the same amount of impact as an allegation that billions of ringgit were stolen from us all.
ReplyDeleteThat's the reality of things in this country."
Ask your self who was the one who made an issue (read: Blog post) out of it!
Thanks and have a good day
Annie...you don't have anything else to write? Cerita armpit Marina pun nak buat cerita...
ReplyDeleteyou no like...you no read lah....
Deleteand it does not matter what annie gonna write or what annie are not write okey....she is not anybody's dog in here

"Now you know why despite all the allegations against PM DS Najib Razak, he may still be our prime minister after the next general election."
ReplyDeleteAnnie, kalau dah tau apa akan terjadi yang si pencuri najib akan kekal lepas pru..buatlah sesuatu!!
Takkan kau dah baca baca laporan DOJ atau tengok press release yang memualkan tu kau boleh tulis pasal ketiak pulak.
Buatlah sesuatu supaya rakyat kita tak pilih pencuri masa pru nanti. Tulis sesuatu yang benar la. Tak yah nak alih isu tiap hari.
Patutnya semua kisah kisah penyelewengan dan putarbelit najib dan konco konconya didedahkan dalam bentuk cetakan dan rakaman kepada rakyat.

ReplyDeleteAnnie,
I'd like to suggest a better topic - the Bugis pirate is using the overpriced (by double) East Coast Railway to clear off 1MDB and Jho Low's debts!
Najib plans for over US$7 billion in accumulated 1MDB/Jho Low company debts to be wiped out by taxpayers in a secret deal between his Ministry of Finance and the Chinese state company CCCC (China Communications Construction Company).
“The Malaysian Government is planning to award an overvalued project to launder money in order to fill the loophole of 1MDB.
The plan is to award the East Coast Rail Project to a Chinese Company, China Communication Construction Company Limited (CCCC). The initial budget for the project is MYR 30b, but they have overvalued the project for another MYR 30b, making it MYR 60b.
The extra MYR 30b will be use to launder out cash to 1MDB related companies.
The project has been proposed to the cabinet on 25/7/2016 and will be approved by the cabinet on 27/7/2016 with total value of MYR 60b.
The Chinese company, which is backed by the China Government, will help pay off the 1MDB dept in advance and progressively. In return, this Chinese company will be rewarded with high profits and land, and of course extra influence with the Malaysian government”.
Jibby loves the (China) Chinese, really.
(BTW, two of Jho Low's companies in the SRC scandal are being bailed out under the same deal).
Why do you think Malaysia is blocking ASEAN action against Chinese aggression in the South China Sea?
Because the criminal PM of Malaysia dah "jual bontot" to China - that's why.
Our national sovereignty is under threat.
Too many countries have the Bugis lanun by his balls.
This is dangerous for all of us.
The Rulers must act to safeguard national sovereignty.
Daulat Tuanku!
everything "ali-baba", bukan "alif ba ta".....partner of penyamun bugis is cina gemok jho low.....poorahhhh ler "bangsa agama & negara".....pondan bugis tu mmg munafik no 1 di dunia
DeleteMemang kita ini sabar menunggu saat UMNO dileburkan dan semua barisan kepimpinannya pergi jahanam terlingkup dan kalau boleh sebahagian besar masuk jail dan seorang itu yang kepala tu seumur hidup dalam penjara bersama isterinya ,barisan kepimpinan yang tak berguna untuk negara.

DeleteAnd I won't get that fucking racist look from some right wing chibai civil servant dedak eater when I go to govt counter to pay some bills.
Mahathir HSS RM5.0 billion parked with his cronies. Guess, who has the largest war chest? Mahathir Mohammad who had plundered the country during his 22 year tenure as the PM. All his offsprings are billionaires. How so? Tak kan menabung dari masa kecil pulak!
DeleteFor the Life of Annie to write or not to write ? Seems you cant satisfy everyone. Readers start to be judgemental. Judging you does not define who you are. It defines who they are. Annie be happy with everyone and ignore their faults. Still if you find yourself the victim of other people bitterness,smallness and insecurities remember things could get worse you could be them. Keep on blogging !
ReplyDeleteNelson Mandela on things that matter:
ReplyDelete"After one has been in prison, it is the small things that one appreciates: being able to take a walk whenever one wants, going into a shop and buying a newspaper, speaking or choosing to remain silent. The simple act of being able to control one's person."
Nanti diorang satu persatu masuk lokap bercara pada benda2 kecil. Tapi pengkhianat negara takkan sama cara dia dengan Nelson Mandela?
i used to like your posts, because of you seem the least petty of them all, but lately i've been noticing that you had downgraded yourself by writing posts that are getting more spiteful (like your favourite sister the H3l3n Ah So), less factual, less women friendly, less politically correct. I don't know you and neither you me. So goodbye.
ReplyDelete"(BTW, two of Jho Low's companies in the SRC scandal are being bailed out under the same deal).
ReplyDeleteIf true this is treason. You wanna buy diamonds for your fat hippo bini, that's fine, but you are destroying the whole country now just to stay out of jail...
Yes, I hope the Rulers can intervene...see the army march the fat hippo and mr. bibirpink to KLIA and put them on one way flight to Kazakhstan.
Enough is enough!!!!!
see the army march the fat hippo and mr. bibirpink to KLIA and put them on one way flight to Kazakhstan........ameeeen
DeleteNo matter how much cash he steals and throws for the voters in GE14, BN will be a history because voters will remembers that he stole and the entire government is corrupt to the core.Let's see whose predictions will be more accurate.

ReplyDeleteI've had enough, of this parade.
I'm thinking of, the words to say.
We open up, unfinished parts,
Broken up, its so mellow.
Annie,
ReplyDelete3 articles on various issues in a day and you get 4768 views.
1 article on Marina Mahatir and you get 4433 views.
Hmm...
I guess you could say that it is the small things which attract Malaysians but there is another possibility.
Say what you like but Marina Mahatir is a well-respected figure in her own right, so any comment related to her will likely attract a certain premium in terms of page views from her supporters, journalists, her media people, her lawyers, etc etc.
On top of that, there is the female factor.
As I pointed out previously, armpit hair is a female thing and I suspect that this blog is very likely to be frequented by more females than you may think.
There is, of course, no way to determine how many of those 4433 views are by female readers but I am willing to bet that there will be lots.
If there is a spike next week in underarm waxings in Malaysian beauty salons, you could safely say that you have a lot of female readers here.
Now, where can I get some graph paper to plot some pretty pictures? I think I will use a nice fuchsia for last week's underarm waxings, a bright blue for this week and a fluorescent green for next week.
And oh, I forgot to mention that M Zin could also be right in suggesting that there may be those with an armpit fetish as well who just can't resist having a peek.

mangkuk zin is a pervert lah........ishhh
DeleteCan you tell your friend rocky bru to let xnkdedak comments through.
ReplyDeleteLove reading his comments.
Thanks in advance.
Someone just hailed Annie as a champion whacker on blogosphere. Annie is the Champ. Hear only what u wanna hear and be happy.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell your fatso sister H.... A.. not to be selective and let everybody comment. As it is, only RBAs and herself (anon) are allowed to comment so as to prop her blog. If your sister HA are reading this, do be more transparent like other bloggers
ReplyDelete'If your sister HA are reading this, do be more transparent like other bloggers'........dgn lemak badan tebal si khinzir betina tu, how to transparent? Kih x 3
DeleteThe armpit hair of Marina Mahathir gets 4433 comments.
ReplyDeleteThat tells alot about the Malays and the Muslims. Peduli apa. Rasuah ke, makan rasuah ke, curi duit ke, duit haram ke, siapa peduli.
ReplyDeleteAgreed he will in-sya-Allah be prime minister, Lil sis Ms Annie
after the next general election where Sabah and Sarawak still accounts for 1/4 of Parliamentary seats
( oh 1MDB what vs BR1M?)

Another lady that should be promoted by you is Regina Lee. The DAP linked lady who is KJ's right hand lady. Wonder why Umno's politicians love DAP linked ladies. You know who lah, HA the fatso sister of yours is also from the same species. Why is her name banned here is still a big mystery when she is liberally shouting your name on her blog. HA, Regina Lee and who else are in the Umno fold and getting paid big bucks, by both sides?
ReplyDeleteNajib made a statement over TV3 suku earlier saying that DoJ suit has nothing to do with 1MDB. Money stolen from 1MDB now better known as the den of thieves. and yet nothing go to do with 1MDB??Only the most incompetent, and the most stupid will believe this liar's statement.
ReplyDeleteTo Jho Low 1MDB means 1 More Draft Beer while to the rakyat, it means Drowning Malaysia Since 2009.
Annie, since Marina's armpits gained as much importance as DoJ suits, perhaps i would like to suggest that you write the similar topic but this time should be -Rosmah's Armpit. I bet you will get 10x more response from your earlier post and your blog visitors will be top in Malaysia beating OSTB or JMD.
