Europe Trip

It's a dream come true for me to cover 3 countries at 1 go. Yes, I visited Holland, Belgium and France.

Moreover I was at Eiffel Tower. I always wanted to see wonders of the world and it happened.

What i enjoyed:

1.Cold weather
2. Cheese
3. wine
4. chocolates
5. monuments
6. friendliness of dutch people
7. punctuality of public transport

I liked the backpacking style, where I just took the public transport and walked to see the city, by using map and asking people for direction.




I wanted to write more, but i can just keep writing as it was a fantabulous trip.

Is Current term promise just enough?

Our beloved Prime Minister has visited Sri Murugan Centre (Tuition/Education centre for Indians) again for 2nd time during his tenure as Prime Minister.

He said that, the current government has kept it's promise by awarding 100 scholarships to Indian graduates whom performed well in their studies to pursue post-graduate programme, during his tenure as PM.

My concern is for those qualified people whom were left out by our BeeAnn government prior to year2010. What are we going to answer them? In accounting terms, it's called accrual, which is yet to be realised/paid.

London Dreams for Hockey team is over

Our hockey team's hope of qualifying to 2012 Olympics has been dashed by a boring draw of 1-1 in final match with Ireland. Malaysia needed a win in order for them to qualify for finals, but it was a despair.

Malaysia ended in 3rd position with 10 points, 1 behind Ireland and 3 behind South Korea. The last time Malaysia qualified was in year 2000. Then, it's always a bad luck for Malaysian team.

We have tenancy to loose focus especially in final 5 minutes which cause us several titles and crucial qualifications. I just wonder, what's wrong with our team?

- do we need a permanent & qualified coach, rather than having a caretaker which changes now and then
- is the sports association is assembled with knowledgeable and people with passion on sports
- is there something wrong with the selection criteria of the players
- is there lacking of quality friendly matches i.e with Spain, Germany, Holland, Argentina or Australia

We cant just be proud that we are winning SEA GAMES title for the past 30 years. When are we going to be world beaters?

2 Tounge

The reason why we have 1 tongue and 2 ears are so that we listen more than we speak. But even that, some people, they tell me one story or give one statement. But when they talk to another person, they tell another statement.

Why cant you be just straight forward?
Why all this empty promises?
Why all this lame excuses?

Don't you people feel shame abt it.

If you cant do it, just say cant do it. If I give you a project, how can you say you don't know your dateline? If you are committed, you will definitely able to finish it.

Bullshit may bring you to top, but bullshit cant keep you there.

Go Down to Come Up

What a bad day for me

Yesterday, I went to airport and on the way back I took Damansara Exit and it was 9.30am. Normally, I will take Jln Duta exit, but I wanted to save in the toll. But I ended up 45 minutes in the jam after the toll. It was just 1km, but the jam was heavy although it was already 10am.

This caused me to go to work late and I was suppose to handle a interview, but ended up my colleague handled it.

Then I went to post office to send courier but the system was offline. Damn..

At evening, I had Toastmasters discussion in a restaurant at Jln Gasing. When I reached UH, my tyre got punctured. So I had to go and repair it. Then, It started to rain heavily and I got soaked.

I thought today will be a better one. But it was another agony. I meet with accident and got deep cut on my left finger. So got sticthes. Normally I will wear the gloves, but because of the rain yesterday, it got wet, so I went without the gloves. I couldn't go to work and spoil my whole day. I just told the driver that "I'm sorry, my mistake, I will pay". The blood from my finger was flowing as if you squeezed water from the sponge. I gave him my mobile number and asked me to contact when everything was done.

Luckily there's no fracture as I did not fall from the bike and just injured my fingers.
