sex for a better relationship

Sex for a better relationship.

Some people at a certain point of time feel very bored in their relationship. The initial sparks, which they had for each other in the beginning of their relationship, has been lost. The sexual satisfaction which they achieved in their beginning has been weaned.

In fact these are some of the facts which I gathered while visiting a site. Guy in his late 30’s lamented that his wife is not allowing him to kiss. He tell that he works around the house and looks smart and a successful person , but still his wife does not enjoy sex with him and always hurries him. He does not want to leave his wife, as he loves his children.

There is also a woman who is married for nearly a decade and she wants to separate, because her husband is denying her sex.

Sex is a great mode of exercise according to Sexual educator and counselor. Thirty minutes of sex burns about 85 calories.

A healthy sexual relationship is when it has the following traits: mutually fulfilling; open communication, satisfactory frequency and emotional connection beyond the bedroom.

I personally feel that sex should not be a bang and hit relationship. Women are not really for sex, but for the intimacy of the relationship. A simple hug will do. People should work on it. Guys should woo their women. Take her to a romantic dinner, where only both of you would be there and whisper sweet nothings in her ears.

If you are not interested send your kids to friends and relatives and just spend some time with her. Communicate with her.

People don’t communicate. They are always on the run, and on the spare time watch their favorite programs on TV. Women should tell what they expect from men and should not nurse grievances in their heart.

Couple also does not value each other. A homemaker is generally looked down as an unpaid servant by men.

A man should appreciate his wife’s cooking. I read an interesting anecdote regarding appreciation. A farmer, who was married for twenty years, never praised her culinary skill. She finally got irritated and served him hay. When the farmer asked her has she taken leave of her senses, than she retorted that she thought it was better to serve him anything a he never appreciated her. Women are not bothered, about the problem men face at work. His boss might a bit grumpy and might not appreciate his work. Woman should not start nagging as soon as he enters home. A smile and some sweet words will work wonders.

Last but not the least; do not be complacent with each other. Even when you are old, you can whisper to each other that you love each other. Romance with each other, and I assure you the sparks will never die.

16th Of September Is Malaysia Day, at Last.

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:48:54 -0500

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia;

16^TH SEPTEMBER IS MALAYSIA DAY, AT LAST.

The people of the Malaysian state of Sarawak and Sabah, at last got their wish fulfilled. The Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak, today declared that the date of 16^th September every year is officially a public holiday and named Malaysia Day. Thus, Malaysians can celebrate two national days every year.

Formerly, 31^st of august was celebrated as our only national day. However, as Malaysia is formed later than that date, the people of both eastern states felt a bit slighted. According to our history, 31^st of august is the date whereby the Federation Of Malaya gained independence from the British.

Malaysia as an idea was mooted later when the states of Sabah and Sarawak were then still under British rule. So too goes Singapore. When The Cobbold Commission formed by the United Nations to survey the reactions to that idea, they found out that the people in Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore were overwhelmingly in favor to the idea.

After lengthy discussions by leaders of all the parties, the Federation of Malaysia was agreed to and formally declared on the 16^th of September 1963. Through this federation the states of Sabah and Sarawak achieved its independence.

Later, in 1965 Singapore was kicked out after several months of bickering.

The announcement was received with sighs of relief and praises for the Prime Minister was the order of the day.

A Rejuvenated UMNO.

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:30:18 -0500

Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia:

WILL IT BE A REBRANDED AND REJUVENATED UMNO?

UMNO or the United Malay National Organization which is the dominant partner in the ruling National Front Coalition of Malaysia, is now in a hurry. Why not?

There are real signs from the grass-root that several changes which it had constituted was favorable to the populace at large. The clearest signal was the result of the recently concluded N.31 Bagan Pinang by-election. In that election, Isa Samad, the National Front’s candidate routed his opponent from the Opposition Islamic party with a whopping five thousand plus majority votes.

This week thousands of UMNO delegates from all over the country attended its triennial general conference. This conference has its focus on the amendment of the party’s constitution. Of utmost importance is the clause which calls for a quota needed to accept nomination for certain post in the party. Members of UMNO from across the board have blamed this regulation for the widespread practice of the so-called ‘money politics’. In other words it is the cause of corruption in the party.

Such practices were one of the reasons why voters abandoned the party during the 12^th General Election in 2008. This time it will be scrapped. In its place the members wanted the imposition of lengthy services to the party as a condition of offering oneself for higher positions in the party.

Apart from that there are calls for a more open attitude when processing entries of new members. This is to open up the party to more educated and innovative young voters. Previously, there have been cases whereby learned young voters are denied entry into the party.

Despite the carnival-like atmosphere at the Putra World Trade Center, serious debates are indeed taking place. However, the jury is still out there. Only a clean sheet at the next General Election will provide the answer.

Another By-Election.

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:44:16 -0500

Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia:

There were scenes of confusions and chaos at the Port Dickson Community Hall, in the state of Negri Sembilan,Malaysia, this morning.

This hall is the nomination center for the by-election for the state seat of N.13 Bagan Pinang. This is in the state of Negri Sembilan, one of the fourteen states that made up the federation of Malaysia.

This time around the ruling National Front Coalition or the BN's candidate,Isa Samad, is up against the Dr Zulkifly of PAS or Islamic Party Of Malaysia.

One federal Minister in charge of Internal Trade and Consumer Welfare, Ahmad Shabery was punched by supporters of the opposition candidate. Another prominent member of the Central Working Committee Abdul Azeez Rahim was also assaulted in the face and had to seek medical attention.

According to several political pundits here, the Opposition front is increasingly under pressure due to a number of reasons. One of them is the incoming trial of their adviser, Anwar Ibrahim which many Malaysians believed that he had little chance of getting away a free man.

The opposition is fractious and not easy to wield together. Anwar is the only factor that can chart their next round of struggle against an increasingly rejuvenated National Front or BN.

At the nomination center this morning the process of vetting the candidates by the Election Commission went on smoothly and lasted only for a few hours.

There were scenes of openness though as the respective candidates and their assistants shook hands and introduced each other.

However, what transpired outside the building was the complete opposite of the order and calm inside. There were shoutings and jostling along the way to the Community Hall. Several Federal Minister were taunted by supporters of the Opposition.

Despite all that confusion. the Police and their increasing numbers were able to control the situation and prevent any untoward incident.

The nomination process came to the end at twelfth noon. The returning officer, who is also the District Officer, then announced that there will a straight fight between Isa Samad, representing BN and Dr Zulkifly Othman representing PAS.

A taste of their own medicine.

A Taste of Their Own Medicine Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia: Pakatan Rakyat [orPR] which is a loose coalition of three main parties in the Opposition Camp here in Malaysia found out that being rewarded with power is no fun. The members of the coalition of which are PKR[Parti Keadilan Rakyat], DAP [democratic Action Party and PAS[Parti Islam Malaysia] can no longer boast or threaten to usurp power from the ruling National Front or BN. Under the tutelage of Former Deputy Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, the PR gained considerable number of seats in the twelfth General Election of 2008. They also managed to controll five states albeit one with a wafer thin majority. The states are Selangor,Kedah,Penang,Kelantan and Perak. Several months later they[PR] lost Perak state when three of their supporters jumped ship, and pledge their support for the Natioan Front or BN. For the rest of the year 2008 they taunted the ruling BN in Parliament and in the various courts. They were literally throwing everything at the ruling BN. There were allegations, accusations, smear campaigns and even the Sultan of Perak who is the former Lord Justice of Malaysia is not spared. However, in the states that they ruled the stories were starkly different. There were problems in the state of Selangor, even among their very own councilors. The state of Kedah also suffered the same fate, resulting in one of their elected representative withdrawing his support and declaring himself an independent. The state government of Penang also suffered the same fate. To make matters worse, the problems kept on piling day by day. Now, the same people who voted them into power unashamedly regretted having done so. So loud is the clamor for change that they themselves are already predicting a snap election. However, the Prime Minister, Najib Razak, is not taking things lightly. He is wise enough to recognize that those cries of regret are fickle. They may change with the wind. Right now he is more interested in developing the country and transforming it into a develop nation before the year 2020.

In Malaysia, It's Back to Square One

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 20:43:49 -0500

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia--

BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

It is all over now. The nomination, the campaigning and then, they came, for polling. When the results came out, it was three for the People’s Coalition [PR] and one for the National Front [BN].

In the federal Parliament, the BN is ruling with a comfortable majority. The PR is the Opposition. However, the PR is the victor in four of the nine states of the Peninsular. The eastern States of Sabah and Sarawak is also ruled by the BN.

Now, a little over a year after the General Election of 2008, the Malaysian political scene is as noisy as ever. The results of the three by-elections seemed to affirm the assumptions by our local political observers that things are not going to change that much. The contested Parliamentary Seat, Bukit Gantang in the state of Perak, was returned to the Islamic Party. Of the two state seats, one, which is Bukit Selambau in Kedah State was also returned to the PKR while the state seat of Batang Ai went to BN.

Despite the many changes which was instituted by the ruling BN coalition during the last days of March, there is little evident that it had settled in. A few days is actually not long enough if one is to make positive changes.

Gone are talks of dramatic changes and dreams of making it to Putrajaya which so preoccupied Anwar Ibrahim and his band of followers.

As of now, march 2009, the states under the National Front[BN] rule are:

Perlis, Perak, Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Johore,Pahang, Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak.

The states under the PR[Opposition] rule are: Kelantan, Penang, Kedah and Selangor.

An Orderly Handover.

Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia:-

An Orderly Handover

Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia:

Once again, Malaysian politics showed its maturity after fifty-two years of independence.

Exactly a year after the 12^th General Election, the Prime Minister, Abdullah Badawi bowed down and hand-over the executive post to Najib Razak.

Najib Razak is the son of the second Prime Minister of Malaysia.

The manner in which he assumed power is almost a repeat of what his late father accepted in 1969. After the country, experienced its first ever racial riot which followed the substantial gains by the opposition in the General Election, the then Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman resigned. The first Prime Minister apparently felt responsible for the poor showing by the Alliance Coalition. The post of Prime Minister was then handed over to Razak Hussein, Najib’s father.

The twelfth General Election held in March 2008, was not a total loss to the National Front Coalition. The country was so used to the successive two-third majority that the National Front enjoyed in the Parliament. Thus, a lesser victory is unforgivable. In that election the National Front was short of only eight seats.

It was the loss of four states to the Opposition that made the supporters of the National Front really dejected. Calls for ‘post mortem’ and ‘brainstorming’ followed. There were even calls for Abdullah’s resignation.

Abdullah was unwilling to leave a ‘battered-ship,” and took responsibility for the unexpected development. Then, he started a revival plan. Most important of all, he made the commitment to hand over power to his Deputy, Najib Razak.

Last Friday, on the 3^rd of April 2009, Malaysia witnessed the appointment of Najib Razak as its sixth Prime Minister.

An Era of Openness.

Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia:-

An Era of Openness.

On the 30^th of October 2003, Abdullah Badawi assumed the post of the fifth Prime Minister of Malaysia. He took over from Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Dr Mahathir was well-known not only for his hard-hitting speech but his sarcasm and bluntness. Mahathir was also known for his little tolerance to Opposition. Thus, the population was relieved when he handed over power to Abdullah.

Abdullah’s first mission was to introduce the chance to voice out opinions from among the people. The political atmosphere has been suffocating its own population for so long.

Of course, not many took the chances.

His huge victory in the General Election of 2004 emboldened Abdullah Badawi. His programs and reforms seemed to be well-accepted by the people.

However, there were different interpretations among his people of what to say and of what not to say. Policies were implemented erratically. One Chief Minister even presented brooms to heads of city councils that did not perform well. This caused huge uproars among the people. According to our eastern culture, presenting a broom is demeaning to those who received it.

Gradually the political atmosphere heated up. By 2007, demonstrations upon demonstrations followed. The atmosphere was heated up even further as the Police fired tear gas and showered water cannons upon the demonstrators. It was then that the perception changed dramatically against the government. It seemed that everything that the government did was wrong and cruel to the people.

By late 2007 the global economic future showed real signs of crisis. Sub-prime was heard and political pundits began to ponder what it really meant. We all knew that not all political Gurus are well-versed in economics and the term sub-prime was quite foreign to them.

As the year progressed into 2008 talks of a general election got louder.

Anwar Ibrahim was released from prison in February. He was quick to notice that an economic crisis is looming not only in America but throughout the world. The price of petroleum rocketed to USD150 per barrel on the world market. Malaysia had no choice but to follow. There were cries of discontent. It was no-win situation for the National Front Government.

On the 8^th of March 2008, the people of Malaysia voted. The result was a disaster for four states previously in the National Front’s rule.

Surely, managing that atmosphere of openness was not easy. Abdullah and the National Front learnt their lesson.

"We'll Be Damned If we Do,

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 08:36:48 -0500

Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia:

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA;

“Damned If We Do And Damned If We Don’t..”

The United Malay National Organization’s [UMNO], Disciplinary Board, which is responsible for maintaining discipline of the Party, had this week deliberated on several cases of reported wrong-doings in the party. Such cases increased greatly in the run-up to the party poll which will be held sometimes late this month.

The intention to clean-up the party [UMNO} is now getting more serious and more visible. It is also getting more attention both from its members and its sympathizers. The lackluster effort to clean-up the party in the past has resulted in the voters turning its back on UMNO in the last election. Thus, among the resolutions reached at during the several brainstorming session directly after the election last year was to thoroughly clean-up the party and free it from money-politics.

The most controversial decision reached at thus far is the order to bar one of the candidates vying for the Post of Deputy President from contesting. So now, for that particular post it’s a straight fight.

Ali Rustam, who is the Chief Minister of the State Of Malacca, was found guilty of dabbling in corrupt Practices. It was committed during the campaigning period earlier this year.

Another aspiring candidate, also found guilty of the so-called corrupt practices but was meted a lesser sentence in the form of a written warning, was Khairy Jamaludin. Khairy Jamaludin is also the son-in-law of Abdullah Badawi, the Prime Minister. He is offering himself for the post of Youth Chief.

Several other members were given warning or had their party membership suspended.

The difference in actions taken against them presumably for a similar offence made tongues wagging in the city. There are talks of biased decisions, unfairness and bowing to certain leaders. Some say it is a no-win situation.

“It’s a case of damned if we do and damned if we don’t,” said Ahmad Rithaudin.

During their press conference, members of the panel explained that there are facts that must be taken into account before handing out the punishment. An example is that the facts mentioned may not be strong enough to warrant a ban from contesting. Thus, they felt that a written warning is enough. The sentence should be above all just and equitable.
