Hall of Ferris.

In case any of you are wondering about the picture in the blog title, that is a picture of a very old Ferris wheel in Vienna. I don’t even remember the name of the wheel but it does look nice does it? For your information, this Ferris wheel was situated next to a theme park, but I guess when I went there the park was closed and that park has its own Ferris wheel. Speaking of Ferris wheel, let me show you my collection for Ferris wheels pictures.

Let us start with the picture of London Eye. I have an old picture of the Eye, which I took in 2005, but since my friend took a better picture during the New Year’s day, I’ll put this picture instead.

Next, is a picture of a Ferris wheel that I took when I went to Nice during Christmas 2005. This picture was taken at a Christmas fair, which happened to be a custom in Europe. I mean, everywhere you go during the Christmas week, you would see a Christmas fair.


My next picture of a Ferris wheel was also taken in 2005, but this time the wheel was in Monaco Christmas fair. Unlike the first two, this picture was taken from a hill near the palace where the Monaco royal family lives. Quite a nice picture isn’t it?


For my next picture, I don’t have a very good picture of it and this is the best I have. Quite a shame, really, not to have a nice picture of it considering the Lake Titiwangsa is a nice place to take picture. But hey, a picture is still a picture isn’t it? This was taken in summer 2007.


Next is a picture from another Christmas fair in Edinburgh. My friends and I actually took a ride on this Ferris wheel and I learnt one thing here – don’t ever go on a Ferris wheel during winter. But I think of all the Ferris wheel I’ve seen, this is probably the best because firstly, Edinburgh is a very beautiful city and secondly, the wheel was located at the edge of a valley, so, the view from the top of the Ferris wheel was magnifique!

Finally, the picture that you’ve already seen, the Ferris Wheel in Vienna.
There you go, my collection of Ferris wheels – London, Nice, Monaco, Kuala Lumpur, Edinburgh and Vienna.

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
