Not So Paper-less.

When Denmark Foreign Minister made a phone call to Malaysia Foreign Minister asking Malaysia to calm down the Muslims last week, I thought Malaysia would do something about it almost immediately. I mean, Malaysia is the current Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) chairman. However, when asked by reporters about it, Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said that they have to wait for an official letter from the Danish government before proceeding with appropriate actions. And yesterday, the Danish government has sent an official letter to Malaysian government.

So, what is so interesting about this? Well, I cannot stop to think that no matter how far we go with technology and spreading slogans of paperless this and paperless that, a simple paper letter is still very much important in everyday transactions. I mean, while some of us think that it is important to do everything electronically, there are things that are better to be done in old-fashion ways.

And Malaysia’s Prime Minister had just announced a new cabinet line-up. I can only hope for the best. In the mean time, let time decide on the effectiveness of this new cabinet. Ciao ciao.

I Hate Him.

I read a blog of my friend today and I have to say this, "I hate you!" There, I've said it. I can't believe that he would actually wrote something like that. I mean, I've heard him saying it, but to write it in his blog is totally unacceptable - at least to me. Though part of what he wrote is true, he still has no rights whatsoever to write those things.

Watch your words, for they become actions, Watch your actions, for they become habits, Watch your habits, for they become character, Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny." - Anonymous.

Bad Bee. Bad Bee.

Everyone seems to be talking about exams nowadays. Well, you can’t blame them since exam is just around the corner. Currently I am revising for Principles of Marketing and Management with a bee hovering in front of me (well, actually, I am typing this entry). Not a very conducive environment indeed, I must say. For some strange reasons I seem to attract five bees into my room this week alone. It is amazing to see how these bees can take just 2 seconds to come into my room and the whole day to get out. Why is it so difficult for them to find the window to fly out of my room remains a mystery to me. Here I am staring at the bee and keep telling it to go to the right, where the window is. Sometimes, I even wonder whether it is the same bee everyday or not. Speaking of which, (not totally related but bees do remind me of airplanes) AirAsia is going to sign a new sponsorship $5.6million deal with Manchester United (as in the football club). To be honest, I don’t really see the connection be...

Monkey Business.

Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...
