Has dedak come my way?

Lately, some of you have begun to ask me if dedak had come my way in these last few months. 

No lah, not dedak from those bastards in Putrajaya...but dedak from the other side of the fence. Pakatan Harapan. 

They have detected a subtle emphasis in what I write that tends to tilt towards Pakatan Harapan more then towards Barisan Nasional. For starters, they say, I refer to the leader of Pakatan Harapan with a respectful Tun Dr. Mahathir, whereas I often refer to Datuk Seri I Mappadulung Daeng Mattimung Karaeng Sandrobone Sultan Abdul Jalil Mohd Najib Abdul Razak, simply as the Idiot. Really guys what would you rather do? Write out Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri I Mappadulung Daeng Mattimung Karaeng Sandrobone Sultan Abdul Jalil), Mohd Najib Abdul Razak everyone I want to refer to the prime minister, or just refer to him as the Idiot? 

Jesus Christ it is a no brainier. I choose Idiot.

And just in case if any of you are still in doubt as to whether I am for BN or PH...here is the truth. I am for my country. I am for right over wrong. For good over evil and for what is needed to be done to have good governance in Putrajaya.

But enough of this frivolities. We, you and me...we are in the fight of our life. And more critical, we are in the fight of our nation's life. 

Malaysia is now in the hands of Mr and Mrs Idiot. They already have hundreds of millions in their bank accounts in Kazakhstan and in places unknown. .....being topped by the day if not by the week or month, with a never ending (so it seems) supply of cash coming from the coffers of our nation.  

We are in the grips of the greatest con our country has ever seen since the British legally took from us our tin and our rubber to advantage their economy not ours. Like the British, this Mr and Mrs Idiot are taking these millions if not billions from us aided by the state...the very state that Idiot is prime minister of. 

Now, you and me...we know this. We have seen the unravelling of 1MDB to the tune of billions. The flipping of Felda and FGV to fill the deep pockets of many many individuals from Isa Samad to anyone else within these organisations that is needed to perpetrate this scam upon the peneroka's sans checks and balances because harapkan pagar, pager makan padi. And many many other ruse in between that is about to bankrupt these government entities that have been at the paying end of the con. Anything they can think of that will make them a dollar...they have done. Open a boxing academy for Malay girls. Done. Sturgeon farming for caviar. Done. Flipping properties in Australia done. Selling land, Proton, projects and perpetual rights to claim parts of Malaysia ostensibly for the purpose of doing business in Malaysia. Done. Buying Submarine that may or may not submerge.Done. Buying our people to vote for them with our money. Done. Investing in non-existent projects. Done. The list goes on and on and on...and is still unravelling even as I write this. 

I can understand if those Ketua Bahagians will "berani mati" for that Idiot for they have already receive their dedak. I can understand the late Bala and that Carpet Seller Deepak changing the story the tell us from time to time because they dance to the tune of the dedak being played for them. Even Khalid Ibrahim, Musa Hitam and Ku Li's flip flop, however contrived, I can still understand for these people have been the beneficiaries of dedak in its many forms, off and on throughout the term of their natural lives. 

Now here is the part that I cannot understand. There are people whom I know have not got much dedak if any at all...and most of them none at all... but are still adamant about not wanting Tun Dr Mahathir as PM even if that meant the alternative is to have BN win PRU 14. Let us go through this again slowly...Pakatan Harapan is the only viable alternative that could possible win PRU 14 from BN...and yet there are people who wants BN to be ousted but will not support PH if Tun Dr Mahathir is to be prime minister when PH wins PRU 14. 

For to these people, Tun Dr Mahathir is the ogre that is responsible for the state of our nation today and for that they will not forgive him ever! 

Really? 

Why don't these people just grow up! Stop being spoiled brats who are bawling their heads off because they have had their candy taken away from them because their mother do not want them to eat candy so close to meal times. No they are not principled people who are prepared to stand up for what they believe in...they are spoilt brats unable to look no further then the tip of their noses. To these people..."I MUST HAVE MY WAY. I WANT TO HAVE MY WAY. OR ELSE I AM GOING TO STAMP MY FEET AND YELL UNTIL I GET MY WAY"...to these people I say "grow up!" 

And if they insists on getting their way...then do what we have done to those who have troubled us in the past...just walk away from them. Do not trouble to engage them in conversation, dialogue or debate. Do not offer them your hand to lead them to our path. Do not suffer them gladly. 

As I have said earlier, we are now in the fight for out life and for the life of our Malaysia. They are not. Cut out the negativity that they represent and move on in our march to Putrajaya.

And lastly...to the question "Has dedak come my way"......just think about this...I have been blogging for almost a decade...over 11,00 postings.....if you want to find anything good or bad about any...and I repeat ANY of our political leaders on both sides of the divide you can find it in steadyaku47...so tell me...who would want to put their money on me being 100% percent other side? I am too much of a loose cannon to have on anybody's side. So be rest assured that I will write what I want to write. Damm the dedak!



  

    

Police monitoring steadyaku47 blog for causing public uneasiness

Minderjeet Kaur

 | December 14, 2017 

The IGP says so far no police report on the article has been lodged.

PETALING JAYA: The police are monitoring a blog named steadyaku47 after it posted an article criticising the Selangor Sultan.

“It has caused uneasiness among the public,” Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohamad Fuzi Harun told FMT when asked about the contents of the blog.

Fuzi said the police would check the background of the writer of the article published on Dec 13. “We will also check if the person who wrote the article is in Malaysia or overseas.”

The IGP added that so far no police report on the article has been lodged.

The sultan recently hit the headlines after he described Pakatan Harapan chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad as a man driven by hate and that his anger would “burn the country”, in an interview published in The Star to mark his 72nd birthday.

Earlier, the ruler was enraged by a remark by Mahathir that Prime Minister Najib Razak could have descended from a Bugis pirate.

The former premier said it while addressing an anti-kleptocracy rally at Padang Timur here on Oct 14.

Sultan Sharafuddin, whose forefathers were of Bugis lineage, said Mahathir’s remark would incite the people to negatively perceive the Bugis.

steadyaku47 comment : 

Here we go again...IGP has got nothing better to do? Crime in Malaysia is no longer a worry? What about prostitution? No longer a source of income for PDRM? 

Prostitution is a source of income for PDRM.

Fuzi wants to check my background? No need lah...let me help him. 

I live in Australia and have been here for a hell of a long time. Not been back to K Hell for almost a decade.  My late father, Hamid Latiff, was formally Director CID under Tun Haniff....at a time when I think this Fuzi belum bersunat lagi....sometime in the early 70s. 

As for me causing "uneasiness among the public"....I think you need to have your head examined! Are you stupid or what? I am a 70 year old man, on a pension, living over 3000 kms away from K Hell! What kind of "uneasiness" can I cause the Malaysian public? 

The only uneasiness I can possibly cause is to Idris aka Sultan Selangor....and that too only if he has something to hide from his subjects in Selangor. His sexual orientations perhaps? I don't know for sure....you better ask him yourself what his sexual orientations are.....and kalau normal....nothing to worry about ma! But, kalau abnormal and against the norms of Islam...you better arrest him...not me!

As for waiting for a police report to be made...come on lah! Don't make me laugh lah....if the powers that be wants a police report to be made it would already have been made yesterday even though my posting was only posted today!    

By the way Fuzi...what were you doing in Sydney with that Chinese Multi Millionaire just a few days before you were appointed IGP? Care to share with us your side of the story?

Ini yang aku marah...all the dedak being distributed and corrupt politicians all around him and this IGP wants to kachau me...a 70 year old man living on a pension who is very upset because this Idris guy living in the Istana in Shah Alam go and kachau another old man who is older then me....the 92 year old Tun. 

Fuzi go play marbles with your balls if you have too much free time.

Igp, can you please talk in a language that is understandable to all.
To me, what you just said, made no sense, as first you claimed uneasiness caused, which you later conflict it by no police report.
IGP, IS IT NOT THAT EVERYTHING IS OK AND PEOPLE ARE AT EASE, WHEN THERE IS NO POLICE REPORT?
Well at maybe you should file one in that case.

Sunday Morning : 9.40 AM Melbourne : Have been up since 5.30 this morning. Reading. Writing. Blogging. Two cups of Lipton tea. Black. In between all this I am reading "Power Faith and Fantasy"  - America in the Middle East 1776 to the Present. By Michael B. Oren. Fascinating book but heavy reading requiring more concentration power than what I can muster on this Sunday morning. So curi curi blogging and curi curi reading. Blogging wins hand down! And so I put the book aside for now and write.

It has been a different two weeks from the norm. I was in Perth for a few days, and then back to Melbourne where the sun was out and about more often then it was not. Met with a couple of Malaysians to talk about matters in K Hell and issues of mutual interests. 

My wife's new specially manufactured recliner arrived and I will now gratefully take over her old one! My wife's heath is good, she is as well as she can be. My problem is how to position my recliner next to her in a room where there will not be enough space to swing a cat by it's tail without bouncing the cat off the wall. At the time of writing, that problem is yet to be resolved.  

Started writing about Zakir Naik (ZN). Maybe something I should not have attempted to do because this is someone I know nothing of. I know nothing of ZN because I prefer to stay away from anyone who wants to talk to me about what is, in my mind, a personal matter - religion. ZN seems to have generated much chatter on the Internet these last few weeks. So I did what I always do when I want to write about something I do not know much of...turn to the Internet for help. Result? You can read what I write about ZN in my blog. The more I read about ZN....the more I begin to understand why he has become such a divisive figure to all - Muslims and infidels. And before you take offence to my description of you as infidels...I myself am sometimes labelled as such by many! More about ZN in my blog later.

Yesterday there was an agitated black couple in the lobby of the apartment where I live...the lady brandishing a golf stick (with apologies to golfers - I do not know if that is what you call those things you hit the ball with!)....as I was saying, the lady brandishing a golf stick threatening to hit someone...anyone.... if the person she wanted to come down to the lobby did not do so pronto! From my point of view, even without a golf stick, that black girl was already intimidating. With a golf stick in her hand....she looks more threatening than Abdullah the Butcher!

I did what any Bugis Warrior would do. Avoid eye contact, got into the lift, got to my apartment and called the police. They got here within minutes and the last I heard was that "keadaan terkawal". 

Crowd Funding. Either you guys do not know what crowd funding is or you know and you could not care less. To each his own... but I would like to say this. I spend many hours a day working on this blog.  Writing, cut and paste and anything else I need to do to lawan the corrupt leaders we now have who are running this nation of ours to and into the ground. And in between, where possible, to entertain you guys too. All that I ask is that those of you who do understand what I am trying to do - if you can - you need to also understand that from time to time, this blogger does need a helping hand in order to continue working on this blog willingly and enthusiastically. Donating a few dollars towards what I need in life to make life a bit more bearable for me is one of those things you can do to keep this blog alive. So please do consider contributing to this "crowd funding" request of mine.

It is just past 11.00AM. I want to do some spring cleaning around the house today. That means putting on my shorts and getting down to some physical work : like sending things to the store room on the first floor! Have a nice weekend....or whatever is left of it.....and please do take care.

Malaysian football team humbled by Papua New Guinea

Jun 17, 2016 - KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia suffered one of their most embarrassing defeats in football when Ong Kim Swee’s side lost 2-0 to Papua New Guinea (PNG), a country more famous for cricket, rugby and Australian rules football, in a friendly at Sir John Guise in Port Moresby today.

 

Enough said!

cakap cakap : HH

12.58AM Melbourne. Wednesday 9th June 2016.

A few moments ago while fiddling with the Photo Booth Apps on my MAC I snapped the above image of me....and as I looked deeply at my own image and into the face that was of me....I realized that I am growing tired of Life. I have done all that I have wanted to do, lived wherever I have wanted to live, done this and done that...and I seem to have finally settled into a place in Life that tells me that I am almost done with Life.

Maybe "almost done" may not be an appropriate word to use because it conveys much negativity....that I am waiting for death to come. I am not!

Maybe the word I should use should be "comfortable"....that I am "comfortable" with my Life now and there are no more things that can truly move me to do anything more than what I am now doing to get by with Life. Not World Peace, not the fight against poverty, not even any thoughts to help the homeless that I see around me on the streets of Melbourne.  I look upon all these things with a tired eye and my heart is not moved to help or to assist.

So why, I ask myself, am I still working on steadyaku47? 

The selfish answer would be that I am doing steadyaku47 for me! It keeps my brains agile, my time occupied and it does wonders to my ego to have you all read what I write. All of that is true! It is also true that I have many story to tell of my time in Malaysia and time and distance have not diminished the feelings and memories within me of those times....and so I write. It is all about I, me and myself! 

Do not be too harsh with these "confessions" of mine. It is just another "cakap cakap" so that you can understand the me that writes in steadyaku47. 

I never tire of telling you all "Thank you for reading what I write" because however selfish I am in my work at steadyaku47, having you all read what I write makes my "syiok sendiri" a bit more relevant to life as we know it now, in Bolehland.

Ok ...cukup for now. 

       

 

cakap cakap : HH : Too many lifetimes lived in one! Such is life!

As I looked at myself in that picture of me with Joe (a mate from MCKK days) I can really see that my hair is now all white! It was taken on a Sunday...after we had breakfast together...and we were having coffee on a terrace overlooking the Yarra River talking about days gone by and life now.   

Looking at pictures of me is, to me, like an out of body experience. I can only recognize myself because I can recognize Joe and I know that I was with Joe when the pictures were taken...so it has to be me sitting beside Joe because there was nobody else with us. 

Now I understand why my wife.... in the time when she could still talk.... would tell me that I am too old for her! Just yesterday the Nurse who came to dress her bed sores, told me "Your wife has no wrinkles...she has a nice face!"....and I did have a proper look at my wife's face...and she does not have any wrinkles on her face at age 70! 

As for me.....I no longer look too long in the mirror because the deep lines on my face tells me too much of what I have endured in life.....too many lifetimes lived in one! Such is life!  

cakap cakap....January 2009

Note: I wrote this letter to a MCKK classmate, Zaharan Razak way back in January 2009...just thought I would like to share it with you guys.




Saudara,

At this stage of my life...no make that at this stage of OUR life its time we prepare ourselves to meet our Maker. Thinking of that imagery of a "Maker" made my mind wander and I started to think how we would be if we were actually made by Sony, National, Petronas etc etc....so bear with me and let me start talking nonsense....imagine you guys are required to walk around KLCC wearing T shirts with the slogan of your Maker and taking into account that our "use by date" is almost over. Think what people will say of us when they see us...

If you are made by LG then "Life's Good" so you should go around whistling and being happy....I can only think of Syed Bakar qualifying here...even though technically he is not of the 64 stock he still can qualify as a "guest artist".

If your maker is Zaitun then it is "GUNA TANPA WAS WAS" ...but then with our wives already in Menopause that should not be a problem and anyway most of us are shooting blanks and more important who really want to use us anymore.... and Captain (this refers to our late and great Captain Yusof Ahmad - the Ancient Marineir) don't start thinking about taking those 8 mile walks all by yourself again and again and again!!


If your maker happens to be PDRM - then it's "SAYA ANTI RASUAH" - but it should really be "SAYA NANTI RASUAH".

What if your Maker happens to be the BN Government - then you have a few choices..for the anti smokers it will be "TAK NAK"...but then at our age it has to be "TAK NAIK". There is also "MALAYSIA BOLEH"...but honestly kita dah "TAK BOLEH KAN?" JKR comes up with the "Jasa Kepada Rakyat"...but if you go and look at yourself in the mirror you know that your Berjasa days for any Rakyat (which includes our spouses) was over many many years ago. The same goes for "BERKHIDMAT UNTUK NEGARA". How to Berkhidmat anymore when just being able to wake up in the morning is cause for celebrations.

Those claiming UMNO as their maker can have "SATU LAGI PROJEK DARI KERAJAAN BARISAN NASIONAL" on their T shirt. That would be just right for those of us that looks wealthy, greedy and totally corrupt - I would volunteer myself but I only qualify for one of the criteria needed - which one is for you to decide...and anyway I am from Idris House and you guys know that we are purest of the pure !!!!


If Nestle is your Maker...then "Minum Milo Anda Jadi Sihat dan Kuat" - maybe with the vitamins we take we can be sihat but the kuat bit would be questionable...same as the "TAK NAIK" situation.

Now if you are from the Pak Lah stock then it's "WORK WITH ME, NOT FOR ME". At this stage of our life it's more realistic for "them" to do the work and for us to do the "NOT" part...again the "TAK NAIK" situation.

RTM say's it is "TEMAN SETIA ANDA"..I don't think our wife cares one way or the other, so wearing a T Shirt with that slogan will only bring a sad smile to your spouse's face....apo nak di kato!!!

Ok that's about all that I can think of for now.. ....steady aku.

Cakap cakap...a great marriage?

I got this comment in my email yesterday:

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Again I write...": Wish you would let on about what makes a great marriage

So Here Goes….

My wife is a vegetarian…I eat anything that has stopped moving….well almost anything!

I blog almost every day …I am still waiting for my wife to read one single line that I have written. Yes, one single line!

I like to watch the news, documentaries and non fiction on TV. My wife will not miss Desperate Housewife or Lost (Lost lost me a long time ago).

I go to sleep around 10p.m. to 11p.m. My wife goes to sleep after 2am. I wake up at 5.30a.m. my wife after Noon!

My wife likes olives, cottage cheese and spinach. I like salt fish, fried chicken skin and rice soaked in butter.

My wife talks to the cats…and the cats talk to her back. I talk to the cats too…but only to tell them to go far away from me.

My wife thinks that cheese is a staple food and wants it in the house at all times. I know that cheese is what you eat with bread and not having any cheese in the fridge is not a worry to me.Rice is my staple food!

I want to talk about Pakatan Rakyat, Bersih, UMNO and the state of politics in Malaysia. My wife, for the third time today, told me that our grand daughter Izzy in Toronto is confused about whether she has sent a letter or a computer to us.

I am still trying to explain to my wife that there is a “off” button on the TV remote that switches the TV off. But after all this time I now understand that leaving the TV on gives her that “warm feeling” all over – even if she is outside hanging the clothes. So now our TV stays on even if no one is in the living room to watch it.

The last time she visited our daughter and family in Toronto she brought enough Vegemite to keep them supplied for two years. I still maintain that two bottles of Vegemite would have been enough. 

We always…always have our meals at separate times because we get hungry at different times…having meals together either means we are at McDonald's or bought some takeaway food and brought it home and are eating it together while it is hot.

But we are each other’s best friends…well actually she is mine! I reach out to touch her every time  we pass each other in the house…she just tries to get out of my way. I do the ironing. She does the ironing. We hang the clothes to dry together. We make coffee for each other. We share the household chores and we understand that we are now really stuck with each other for life…and with both of us being over 60 that would be for another few more years….we hope!

So go figure out why we are still together. We got married at Ealing London when I was 21 and she 23. What we know today is this….we have each other and all else will pass.  

Again I write...

This is my blog. I do with it, as I like. Do not try to second-guess me…you will never be able to get into my head. Never ever. Sometimes I do things in a systematic manner. Sometimes I do things in the moment. Sometimes I, me and myself do not know what I will do. I make mistakes…sometimes stupid mistakes but that is I. In my moments of clarity I know what mistakes I make and I try to correct myself – not always successfully but I try.

If you read what I write I am thankful…I promise you that every piece that I post is posted because it was the best I could do at that point of time. Never second best…only the best because that is what you deserve if you take the trouble to read what I write.

You see guys I am an oddity. I am unencumbered by anything. Not race, not religion, not the norms of societies, as we know it. The only considerations that concerns me are my wife, my two children and the family they have. Apart from that I do, as I like.

And now where do I go?

I will continue to work on this blog. To those of you that agree or disagree with me I wish you only good health and a good life. Nothing you write, good or bad will disturb me adversely. Where it suits me I will share with you my deepest thought, my thought process and you can agree to agree or disagree with you. 

And if you say that I write to suit myself…yes I do. My vested interest comes first…and then maybe others. In this respect I am a selfish bastard. But you are warned….a selfish bastard I am and a selfish bastard I will be. So remember this….think what you want of what I write....... but always, at that time of my writing, it is the best I can do.  

An apology from Me. Maaf!

Sorry guys....my writings has been below par. I am too caught with this personal vendetta with DSAI that I am losing the big picture - our fight to rid ourselves of UMNO/BN. I better grow up and start behaving like one...which should not be too hard as I almost 64 this year! Its hard enough to get people to read what I write and harder still to get them to come back...so my apologies. My next posting should....I repeat should...move ahead to more positive matters...but I will still need closure with DSAI...let me decide how that should be. Salam for now.
 

Cakap cakap...nothing about Najib or Anwar.

Last Sunday night, while watching TV I came across two programs where two iconic Australians were being interviewed and it turn out that both were Malaysian…well ex Malaysian really.

One was Kandiah Kamalesvaran born to Tamil Hindu parents who grew up in Brickfields, KL and studied at the Victorian Institution. At age 19 he came to Australia to receive a higher education and stayed. Of course he is now better known as Kamahl – a singer who has sang at the London Palladium, Carnagie Hall and for Queen Elizabeth II amongst others. An Australian icon that originated from Malaysia.

The other was Penny Wong. Born in Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia to a Malaysian Chinese father and an Australian mother. She moved back to Australia with her mother when her parent separated. She is currently the Minister for Finance and Deregulation for Australia.

And I thought of home…I thought of Bangsar, my favourite See Kee curry puff in Bukit Bintang, satay in Kajang, ice kachang and nasi dagang at Kampong Baru…among other things. And I ask myself again why I left KL way back in 1978?

See Kee 

There are too many reasons to tell and most of them are too personal to relate but I remembered that on the plane to Perth, I had one hope. To live a better life with my Family. To leave the unpleasantness of a family divided and to try and see if I can be my own person in a country I have never ever been too. We arrived in Perth where  we did not know a single soul with less then AUD$100 between us and our daughter Terrina, then not even 3 years old.

It is now 2011. Over thirty over years later. Terrina is now living in Canada with her Emett and their two daughters, Isabel and Sofie.

Sofie and Isabel (below)

We are in Adelaide with our son Zach. Zach is my Rock. No regrets but with some sadness because I was not with my parents in their last conscious moments on this earth. My two brothers have no consequence in my life. My sister I miss very much.

Everything else, relatives, friends, acquaintances, life style, food etc etc I do miss from time to time but not enough to make me think too much of home. KL is still home to me. When I do think of home, as I did yesterday, the memories comes flooding over me with a surge of emotions that tugs at my heartstrings. But if truth be told I miss my Father and Mother most.

My Father never taught me anything much but I learned a lot from him. I watched him lived his life around his family and my Mother. My mother came first. The love they had for each other started from the days when they first knew each other. They were first cousins and must have known each before their teens. For that love to last all their live and even after my Mother’s passing, must have been wonderful. My Father never remarried after Mother died. He was alone for over 10 years of his life. I love my Father with all my heart. I hope the same love will also be there for my wife and me. So far so good.

My Mother is a Saint and I am not saying this because she is my Mother! No unkind words for anybody – not even me, her prodigal son. When I quarrelled with my Father she will ask me to go kiss his feet and ask for forgiveness. I did. She was the only one who knew how to cook my favourite fried fish and black salted beans with garlic so that it got just the right mix of spiciness and crispiness that made all the difference to the meal. If she had one fault it was to ask me to play her La Cumpasita and Patah Hati tune on the piano as often as she could. My regret is that I did not play it as often as she had asked me to do so. I love my Mother as much as I do my Father.        

I have no fond memories of times with my two brothers. None at all. I left for MCKK in my early teens and from then on I have lived on my own until I met my wife in London and from then until now, we have been together.

I married at 21 while in London in 1972 and today I am still with the same girl – both of us a little bit older and a little bit wiser. I enjoy her company more then I enjoy the solitude that I must have for myself. We talk to each other everyday but enjoy the silence between us just as much. Sometime she makes coffee for me sometimes me for her. But we have our meals at different times. We eat when we are hungry – breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes we do make an effort to have tea together in the back garden when the sun is out. Both of us are now over 60, way beyond 60 but we do not sit down quietly waiting for the hereafter. We live life.

A bit more money would help. We would like to go and see Terrina and her Family more often in Toronto but we do need to cross a few continents and a couple of oceans to get there. And that would take more money then we can spare for now.  And as we know money is never enough for almost everybody – even for the very rich.

This blog is one of the things in my life that I can live with or without–depending on the seasons of my life. This morning I powered my PC on at about 5.30 am and posted two articles on my blog before I made myself a cup of coffee…and then my mind went blank. I wanted to write some more but nothing clicked. Nothing clicked until I thought about home….and I wrote about what was in my head….and that is the only way I know how to write – with my heart.

Izzy calls me Tok when we Skype!
