Unproductive Weekend.

What an unproductive weekend I had. Well, it was not unproductive at all. I gave birth to a new blog, I did some research on Kellogg’s and I prepared for a presentation on global car manufacturing industry. The only reason why I said this has been an unproductive weekend is because I did all that on Friday and Saturday morning. After that, I just spent the weekend watching movies, surfing the internet, chatting with my friends on IM, and listen to an award show in Malaysia.

Come next Friday, I have a Maths test and on the 23rd March 2006, I have a Philosophy exam and I have not even prepared for it. Haha. But, don't worry because I will start to work on it starting from tomorrow. With exam and test coming, I will definitely be more motivated to do a lot of work. And this week, I am planning to get a new mobile phone! Let’s hope that I will be able to get the phone that I want and tariff that is affordable.

This week has also been interesting because of the row between the White House and the Capitol. Dubai Ports World (DPW) who bought a British company P&O who actually controls and manages six US ports. This is interesting to that the Senate and Congress felt that it is OK for a British company to manage the ports but not an Arab company. It is interesting to see that President Bush is actually allowing an Arab company to get hold of the ports, going against his own people. And it is even interesting to see that the US actually gave foreigners to control and manage their ports. I mean, ports are supposed to be very important to any country and giving foreigners the rights to control them seems so wrong to me. I don’t know whether this is normal in other country but, I still think that ports are strategic assets to a country and it should not be foreign-controlled. That’s my view. 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.

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...
