don't make me alarm you to death!

i was msn-ing wit my fren who's staying in bangkok and he told me there was another assassination attempt on the Thai PM.

apparently the copycat bomber had placed a car battery, fuses and an alarm clock in a paper bag and left it near the PM's residence.

i couldnt help it but i instantly laughed hard at the mention of the alarm clock.

correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think you should give someone u hate an alarm clock. or a car battery. unless of cos, u hurl both items at them.

watched too many movies la this one.

he might as well wrap a few hotdogs and call them dynamite!

the only thing dangerous abt the whole "lethal" cocktail of junk was if someone had tripped over it. (which i seriously think that was how it was discovered)

on a more somber note however, the intended message had been sent - watch your step. no, seriously, i mean, watch out. if intimidation was his objective then i guess he might have achieved it.(2 threats in a week is no joke man!) cos no matter how crude, amusing or chapalang his means are, the PM could never take the death threat lightly. especially if it spells death by alarm clock explosives.

Yes, i am amused but pls, dont get me wrong. i do not advocate the use of force or violence for any reasons whatsoever. May the culprit be caught and brought to justice. Looking back at his terror-tactics, that should not take too long.
