Malaysian Elections 2008

I'm sitting in front of TV and computer... I'd have the radio on but afraid I'd miss out on important details in the cacophony.

Malaysian Elections 2008 is BURNING HOT!
And the fact that Sungai Petani, Kedah is won by PKR (opposition) just screams out '#@$#%^' to me. I don't believe things in that town don't move without the big M's fingers in it somewhere.... Apparently Kedah's gone to the opposition and Selangor might go that way too....

I won't be able to s l e e p!

Friends That Last The Mile

I have friends who have been with me from schooldays or campus days.... we've been through happy times, stressful moments... even anger and long silences. But when I think of them, I feel a warmth deep inside my heart for they have lasted the mile. After all these years, they still want to be my friends :) I told a friend once that when you put your trust in a friend, you are giving that person a knife, which he can choose to put away and never use. Or stab you in the back. But I didn't tell that friend that it is possible to survive stabs in the back and still remain friends with the other. It takes time for the wound to stop bleeding and the heart to forgive, but it is possible. --------------------- There's X, who shared many adventures with me, even though there were points of friction between the two of us. But I would like to think that deep inside, both of us see beyond those points of conflict. I appreciate her for being willing to share many enterprises ...

How Challenging Teaching In Sabah Can Be

As a teacher, I have had many memorable experiences but one of the most fascinating has got to be observing my colleagues from other states as they deal with their first days in Sabah. Born and bred in Sabah, I never really had much reason or opportunity to question what sort of image Sabah presented to the outside world (which includes other states in Malaysia) until I went to university in Kuala Lumpur. And, of course, when I began working as a teacher. My first inkling of how 'scary' Sabah can be to outsiders came during my third year in university. I had coursemates who quickly got married ... it was the first time I had ever heard of 'nikah gantung'. Apparently, they could get married but it was a sort of 'marriage on hold' (if such a thing exists..). What mattered was that they could get a marriage certificate that would help 'save' them from the jungles of Sabah and Sarawak. Then, during the briefing I attended to receive my first posti...
