Sweet Taste of Freedom.

I think, the most popular question at this moment will be, “How’s exam?”

So, I will begin my first post after so many weeks by saying, “Exam was fine.” What else should I say? Ha-ha. I answered all the questions the way I think they should be answered. So, the only thing now is to see whether my lecturers actually see the way I think. At this point, there is not much I can do except praying and hoping for the best.

So, what have been happening since I last wrote an entry in this blog? Well, before my exam started three weeks ago, I spent a weekend in Oxford. Thank you to Khalid, the trip was very enjoyable to me. The weather was nice, the food was great (thanks to Khalid, Hizami and Juanis), everything was just perfect.

What else? I went to watch Spiderman 3 a week before my Accounting exam and I must say that I felt quite disappointed with the 3rd instalment of the series. First of all, the whole movie was a bit too long. Secondly, it tried to be like Pirates of the Caribbean, humour-wise. I mean, you know like in the Pirates of the Caribbean, they always have some one liner in between fighting. Yeah, Spiderman 3 tried to copy that but they didn’t nail it. Third, there were just too many villains and too many stories to tell in one film, which makes it less enjoyable. Fourth, script/dialogue was not as good as Spiderman 2. Having said that, I am not saying it was a bad movie, it was an OK movie. Maybe I just expected too much because I personally think Spiderman 2 was very good.

I don’t know what else that I want to write so I’ll probably continue later when I have more things to say. I guess, I’ll see you again later.

P.S. It feels great that the exam is finally over!!! I know that I’m leaving for Malaysia on Tuesday but I am proud to say that I have done all my packing!

More on Angkara Cinta

Yes, I think I am becoming obsessed with this Malay Drama show. I always look forward to watching the show every day. The irony of Angkara Cinta is despite the title of the show, it is not a love story at all. At least not to me. Sure, the are several love stories in the show such as Luqman and Adira, Haqeem and Adira, Haqeem and Jijie, and Luqman and Adira again, but these love stories are just in the background and do not form the major part of the storyline. The reason I say this is because if you take away these love stories, Angkara Cinta would still stand on its own. We would still be able to see the struggle of Luqman and Haqeem, as well as, Indah and Mariani in dealing with the situations that they are in. And to me, that's what makes Angkara Cinta great and stand out relative to other Malay Drama on the television nowadays. The show also highlighted several mental health issues that are not talked about in Malaysia generally, and the Malay community specially. Malays, for

Rise and Fall of a Government

Many detractors of Tun Dr Mahathir blamed him for causing the fall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in February 2020. They blamed him for quitting his position for no apparent reasons whatsoever. To be honest, none of us (save for a select few) really know what had happened behind the curtains and behind Tun's thick skull. As long as we are not Tun himself or those select few, we are all merely speculating at best. To me, I just want to focus on what Tun had said publicly because those are on record and no one can really dispute them. Tun had repeatedly said that he had resigned because he no longer had the support of the parliament as Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu). Two things here, mathematically, what Tun said about the his support from the parliament is true. Secondly, this was what Tun had said, what really went behind the scene was really up to anyone's guess. For one moment, let us just take Tun's words at their face value. The moment Tun felt that he

2011 That is Almost Over

In just one more day, 2011 will draw its final curtain. And looking back over the last twelve months made me realized how far have I come this year. 2011 has always been a very personal year to me, especially since I have started to plan for my engagement ceremony since July 2010 (Yes, that's how long I've been planning my wedding). I guess the highlight of the year began with significant change in my work. It was in March 2011 where I was finally given the opportunity to cover the Airline sector after lobbying for it since I joined the department in February 2009. I'm not saying the Consumer sector was not fun, but the Airline sector has always been a dear to me since I joined the company. But I guess, the Airline sector proved to be a lot tougher to cover than I expected. I had anticipated cyclical earnings and high risk from jet fuel price volatility but, MAS gave a whole different challenge to my skills as an analyst. The next highlight for the year was my engagement ce
