Tax research

I am currently doing research for my tax coursework. It's currently not going too well. Can't find anything on Malaysian tax. Why does the Internet lack info on Malaysian stuff? Luckily it's a group-coursework.

I came across a few interesting quotes on tax and politics while doing my research.

"The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax."
(Albert Einstein, Swiss-German-USA physicist, 1879-1955)

"Tax reform means, ‘Don’t tax you, don’t tax me. Tax that fellow behind the tree."
(Russel Long Senator of the United States of America circa 1970’s )

"Politicians are the same all over; they promise to build a bridge even where there is no river."
(Nikita S Krushchev Soviet Politician and Premier of the USSR, 1894-1971)

"The politicians don’t just want your money. They want your soul. They want you to be worn down by taxes until you are dependent and helpless. When you subsidise poverty and failure , you get more of both."
( James Dale Davidson Author )

All of them were taken from The Apparition Of Tax Reform.

Rich kids?

These past few days I noticed that many secondary school students have handphones on them. How do I know they're in secondary school? Why by their uniforms of course. Do their schools allow them to bring the handphones to school? If yes, they're really lucky. I remember during the good ol' days when nobody was allowed to bring most electronic gadgets to school. We couldn't even bring a walkman to school, what more a handphone. But luckily we were allowed to bring a calculator. Without the calculator in Forms 4 & 5, I'd have failed Maths.

Old

I believe I'm getting really old. I came back early from college today because I was feeling tired. And as we all know, tiredness is a sign of old age. So I'm old. I hardly did anything today. Only went for a tutorial class and a sort of lecture by an ACCA representative. That's it. How could I be so tired?

I was watching Couples Fear Factor yesterday. It was the finale. I was rooting for Leah & Roberto to win. But Dean & Ashley aka Barbie & Ken had to win it. I wouldn't mind even if Craig & Maria won. But Dean & Ashley???? *SIGH* They've won so many other stuff already. 4 jeeps!

It's raining (not men, though)

It's been raining since noon again. Am currently freezing. Have been eating too much. Feel like eating rojak now.

I wanna read the 6th Harry Potter book! Haven't got it yet 'cos RM99.90 is just too expensive. Anybody wanna buy it for me? I guess not.

Argh! The top layer of my CD-RW just came out. Can't use it anymore. There goes a CD-RW.

I need to go bathe now. I've not bathed since I woke up at 12.30 p.m. today. Do I stink or what? I think I do. Ciaoz!

I'm broke

It's been raining since noon. Nice and cold. Perfect for sleeping. Too bad I was in the library doing "homework", therefore didn't sleep. But it was freezing cold in there.

I currently have a huge hole in my pocket. I splashed RM515 on my spectacles and contact lenses. I'm broke! Power went up by 25.

Have finally finished my part of FMC coursework. Currently waiting for the tax one. It'll probably be last minute work since we're entering the eigth week already.

Just Married is a hilarious movie.

Am very tired. Wanna sleep but can't help thinking of tutorials I need to finish. *YAWN*

Badminton, F1 & College

Lee Chong Wei won!!!!! He managed to defend his Malaysian Open title. Didn't watch it, though. Heard my sister screaming in front of the TV.

Am happy 'cos Montoya FINALLY won a race for this season. Didn't watch that also. But it doesn't matter 'cos he WON!


The college decided to cut its power supply AGAIN(!) today. Do they not pay the electricity bill??? Sheesh. It was bloody hot in the library (had a discussion for coursework). The only good thing was that tax lecture was cancelled (but would be replaced next week....ARGH!). I wanted to stay till six 'cos I had not done my tax tutorial yet. *SIGH*.

I was watching Kazaam on Saturday (I think). I thought it was a really stupid show which did not seem to make any sense to me. I didn't even know what was going on and everything seemed to happen too fast. If you ever come across this show, DO NOT WATCH IT as it'll be a complete waste of your time!

Rob Thomas

Rob Thomas's debut album, Something To Be, is EXCELLENT!

Crap

I stepped on crap today, and what's worse: I was leaving for college! I had just finished wearing my shoes when I saw something on the porch. It looked like a dried chili padi which had gone bad (it was black, of course). So I used my sole to kick it. Turned out to be crap! Damn! Luckily I managed to wash it off without wetting the cloth part of my shoe. Whew!

I'm starting to get nervous , as i always do when there are assignments to be done. Scared about not passing it up on time, scared of dping it wrongly therefore not passing the coursework and meaning that I'll not be able to take the end-of-semester exam. So far there's only one but I'll be getting the Tac coursework next week. Argh! Stress!
