You have probably read about the current Penang Chief Minister, YAB Lim Guan Eng who fly with MAS on economy seat and have dedicated your deepest respect.
At this challenging time, our respectable YAB has gone one step further. It' my honour to be on the same flight with YAB on Air Asia budget airline (my trip to KL on 20th November 2008). Probably too tired with his hectic schedule, YAB slept through his whole journey.
Keep up your good work YAB. My hat off to you!

Engineers are the Best Boyfriends
Received this "good" piece of "advice" from my engineering course mate. No offense to all those law, management, arts, medical etc. graduate out there :p Enjoy reading and so, what say you?!
*************************************************************************************************************************
Let me tell you why girls should eventually marry an engineer over a Law, Management, Arts or Medical School Graduate. He has three distinct advantages over the rest of the graduates.
Advantage 1: Secure lifestyle
An engineer boyfriend can provide you with a secure lifestyle. At 27 years old, an engineer probably has a respectable, stable job that gives him a high income to own a car, invest, have a comfortable life, and get married and buy a house too.
Law graduates are still working as a lowly apprentice in law firm.
Most management graduates have just failed on their first business plan.
The arts graduate is still looking for a job.
And the medical school graduate is still living in a hospital.
Advantage 2: Unmatchable industriousness
An engineer boyfriend will dedicate an unimaginable amount of his time and effort to understand you. Engineers strain really really hard to understand their work. You can believe that they will try really really hard to understand women too, just like how they understand their work, once they believe that you are the one. So even if they don't understand you initially, they will keep on trying. Even if they still do not understand, they will figure out the correct method to keep you happy (e.g. buy diamond ring = 1 week's worth of happiness.) And once they find out the secret formula, they will just keep on repeating it so that the desired results appear.
Unlike the Lawyer who will argue with you.
The Management graduate who will try to control your spending.
The Arts graduate who will 'change major'.
And the medical school graduate who will operate on you.
And you know what, it's really so easy to make engineer s believe that You are the 'one'. Say that you like one of their project and they will be hooked to you forever.
Advantage 3: An engineer boyfriend will never betray your trust.
Let me first tell you what is wrong with the rest of the others - The lawyers will lie about everything.
Management graduates will cheat your money.
The arts graduate will flirt, and you probably just look like another cadaver to the medical school graduate.
Your engineer boyfriend is either too busy to have an affair, and even if he does, he is too dumb to lie to you about that.
Hence, an engineer is the most secure boyfriend that you will ever find - rich enough, will keep on trying to understand and please you, has no time for affairs, and too dumb to lie to you.
So girls, why procrastinate?
Get an engineer as your boyfriend!

I have a dream...
I was in the US when the last Presidential Election took place in year 2004. As I was travelling alone, TV is my only companion in the hotel room after work and hence I was following the election progress quite a bit but who really win doesn't really bother me. At that time, I was just hoping that whoever took over the White House, can treat us more nicely - at least speeding up the secondary screening whenever we were to enter the US. During my first trip to the US, I have been waiting for 5 hours at the LA airport for the secondary screening process and in the end, missed my flight to Denver.
I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican supporter. But for the 44th Presidential Election that has just end, for the first time in my life, I rejoiced that Senator Obama made it to the White House!
The Kenyans got to enjoy a day of holiday due to Obama's victory, Indonesian school children gather to celebrate the success of their senior who once sat at the same desk and Japan's Obama town dances for US namesake. Well, some politicians in Malaysia celebrate the fact that Obama's brother-in-law is actually a Malaysian based in the states - well, that is a better reason to celebrate than announcing to the world that the reigning Miss Georgia 2005 have half a Malaysian blood (father is from Johor) and the big hoo-haa!
History is created as the son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his victory by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states. Barack Obama was elected the United States first black president in a historic triumph that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself.
" I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today."
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America"
Martin Luther King's dream came true; the American's dream came true. When can the Malaysian's dream be realized? I pray that it won't be far.
