Is this the end of the road for our trusted friend, the Windows XP? Is ol’ Bill so cruel as to cut the line for our beloved operating system once and for all? What used to be “X-perience”, could well be “aXed-Project”. Does it affect me? To a certain extend, yes. I still run XP […]

Those of you who does not stay in the Klang Valley might not have heard of the toll hike protest that has been organized, albeit illegally, over the weekend in Sunway Pyramid. All mainstream medias (TV3, RTM, Astro, NTV7, and all major newspaper) do not or only minimally highlight this event. http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/1/8/nation/16505531&… My good friend […]

All of us in Malaysia are saddened by the news of the torrential flood happening in the southern peninsular. My in-laws are in Sagil, near Tangkak, one of the major towns that got flooded near the Sungai Muar area. Fortunately Sagil is on higher ground compared to Tangkak, so they’re ok. But others in Segamat […]

To my greatest surprise when I went back home last night, there was street lights!! They either assigned more than one light supplier this time, or someone in MPSJ read my blog!

It’s about the way we live, how we talk to one another, making decisions that would avoid conflict at all costs. You don’t go to other people’s country, accusing them of having a Weapon of […]
I stay in Seri Kembangan, near Serdang, an area which is governed by MPSJ (Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya). Some of you may be wondering, isn’t Serdang and Subang miles apart? Yes, in fact they are not only physically located differently, they are managed differently too! The state of both township looks severely apart. While Subang […]
Drape the Pyramid?

Why on earth does Malaysia thinks that they can simply drape some fabric over the thousand-year-old pyramid of Giza in the first place? (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2005/12/30/nation/12986270&se…) What were our leaders thinking when they thought of that project? This is definitely not a good idea to “raise the profile of Malaysia to world”. And neither do dropping a […]
