Raining Day and Gathering Day

Another public gathering by Pakatan Rakyat tonight at the Han Chiang School Hall. There will be 4 speakers from 4 different 'scope' of people notably Dr Toh Kin Woon and Jeff Ooi. I guess they most likely will be touching on the human rights issues towards 916 (the proposed date that Pakatan Rakyat to form the new government. So all of you out there in Pg, it's raining seasons now especially since it has been raining today since the morning, plan your night out properly and make sure you have some buffer time with you so that you won't be late for any functions you are about to attend. Me of course will have to since I'm attending my classmate's wedding dinner.

Tennis: US Open enters final straights

After more than 1+ weeks of good matches and battling tournament, it's down to the final 4 in the Mens Single Open championship at the Flushing Meadows. The first semi finals will be between 3rd seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic against the Swiss Master Roger Federer. This will be a gigantic battle between the two and the game starts at 11am local time (meaning 11pm Malaysia time). Federer does seems to be struggling to beat his opponents in the last 16 and quarters and coupled with his lost of form since the turn of the year, I see that he's in for the hard time with public enemy no1 Djokovic after his comments towards American hero Andy Roddick in the post match interview by the court side. The winner of this match will be up against the winner of semi final 2 between new world number 1 Rafa Nadal and Britian Andy Murray for the final showdown. It will be interesting to see how Murray can stop the red hot Nadal from marching into the final.

In the evening at 7pm local time (early morning here on Sunday morning Malaysia time), it will be the women single final between 2nd seeded Jelena Jankovic battle with 4th seeded Serena Williams. Serena may have won many grand slam before and has the experience of handling the pressure and receptions, but if Jankovic can handle herself well and play to her true form, then I reckons that she does stand a chance for the 1st ever grand slam title. Let's hope for a equally great match from both players.

Wow...is Ghostbusters 3 in the making ???

I read from my entertainment update website that Ghostbusters 3 might be in the making. The producers are currently finding writers for the script for this hugely popular comedy action film. I remembered that I do love this cartoon back in my kiddo days...so all those ghostbusters fans out there just like me, keep your fingers crossed for this plan to become reality...hehehe!

Just another property fair

It was another Friday evening after work and as usual after work, me and my girl went out for dinner together. And since we will be attending my primary school friend's wedding dinner Saturday night and then the whole Sunday will be occupy by being brothers on the wedding day, therefore we have decided to visit the Star Property and Home Fair 2008 on Friday.

We took dinner nearby at the Sunshine Market and then proceed to P.I.S.A to visit the fair. There were not many people at the fair given that it's just the first day of the fair (expected more people Saturday and Sunday) and also because it's dinner time at that moment. Just like the previous fair I have attended, the fair show cases a lot of nice projects BUT again, it was mainly focus on the high end and high income group of people. Many of those are projects with double storey semi-d or three storey terrace priced at the minimum of rm700k and above. There were a few low course projects and some leftover previous projects launched back in 2006 with only bumi lots left. This time around, there are not many exhibitors and many of the booth are taken up by banks and other financial institutions or investment company. So, average income earners like me were left with nothing much that can be offered by. Not really that dissapointed, since I already expected the outcome to be like this...to me it was just another property fair :)

I'm Back !!!

Finally, I'm back after my holiday in Thailand early this week. Went to Koh Samui for a 4d3n leisure trip with my sweetheart and I'm really glad that the ongoing protests there doesn't hit the Samui island. Well, the trip is nice - very relax, very lovely and I'm very happy to spent quality times away from the busy life and work back here with my girl. The only drawback is that both of us got very dark all over our faces, hands and legs due to the hot sun, humid weather and dry wind...haih...Perhaps I will post a bit on my trip when I have the mood and time...While I'm away, there are many things happening around in the world of sports. For example, there's ongoing US open, the last grand slam of the year, MotoGP is down to the last 5 races after last week's Italian Grand Prix won by the Doctor, Valentino Rossi and in the world of football, there had been some busy last day dateline transfer in the English Premier League with Berbatov finally moving to ManUnited, shock takeover of ManCity by a Dubai Group and the last minute transfer of Robinho under the nose of Chelsea to ManCity from RealMadrid. Also in the Spanish Primera Liga, both Real and Barcelona suffered opening league losses over the weekend.

In conclusion, after the great trip, both me and my gf have a lot to catch up from our work till others happening around us. Back to reality life again...

Happy 51st Merdeka Malaysia

It's 31st of August 2008 today and of course it's our very own Independence Day. It was 31st August 1957 when Malaysia known as Malaya then first declared Independe from the British government. For me, there's not much to celebrate except to enjoy a day of public holiday from work. Since today is Sunday, therefore tomorrow Monday will be declared as a replacement holiday for us. By the time people are enjoying their merdeka holiday tomorrow, me and my lovely partner will be in Koh Samui enjoying our relax romantic holiday. Talking about this, with the current riot and protests in Thailand, I hope that our flight later to Koh Samui won't be cancel and we can have a peaceful trip and memorable time there with everything smooth and safe. Coming back to Merdeka, my wish for merdeka this time around would be for the government to look more and help more for the welfare of our people, help us to ease our burden with the recent price hike on all the goods, and of course be a clean and efficient government. Let us all work together for the sake of the nation to make Malaysia a harmonious and desired place to live. We don't want outside world and foreign medias to call us 'childish' even though we have already an independant country for 51 years. We have the talent, resources and everything that is needed, so make that count....Happy 51st Merdeka Malaysia!

Anwar is back in Parliment as Opposition

Finally, Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, our former deputy Prime Minister is back into the Parliament after a lapse of 10 years. Up till now, in the unofficial result, he has got more than 15k votes against his closest challenger which is of course the Chinese speaking BN candidate. He will represent the Permatang Pauh constituency, which was vacated by his wife and PKR president Datin Seri Wan Azizah in order to make way for him. He has promised that the opposition collision Pakatan Rakyat will gain control of the nation by Sep 16 and that the price of the petrol will go down once he become the Prime Minister; these two will be remains to be seen but one thing for sure is that BN will have even tougher ahead...
