Egypt's Pyramid

Just came back from Egypt recently. It was an incredible and wonderful experience that I will never forget in my life. My jaw almost dropped when I stood in front of the world wonder Pyramid and realized how small we are! We have seen lots of Pyramid in TV, internet, pictures, movies, magazines etc but nothing compares to actually being there standing in front of the structure and touch it and feel it with your own hands. It’s really unbelievable and you would be amazed how the Pyramids were built by the ancient Egyptians over 4500 years ago.
According to the locals, there are over 100 pyramids of various sizes in Egypt. However some are in bad condition and almost unrecognizable. Pyramid is one of the ancient wonders of world and till today its existence is still a mystery.

Durian Durian

A group of friends and myself would be going for a Durian feast in Subang Parade today. Durian is dubbed the King of fruits in Malaysia and also in Singapore. I have tasted the fruit a few times while staying in Singapore but frankly I have yet to fall in love with it. Nevertheless I would definitely be there.
This Durian fest is a charity event in aid of the Children's Wish Society of Malaysia. The response is expected to be overwhelming because from what I know almost every Malaysian loves durian. Besides durians, there would be lots of Mangosteens (Queen of fruits?) and Rambutans as well.

Please take a short break from the Olympic Games and come join in this charity event with your families and friends.

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games have finally arrived today 08-08-08. The time of the opening ceremony is 08:08PM. Eight is a lucky number to the Chinese.
Someone told me today is also the 8th day in the Chinese lunar calendar.
What a coincidence! The date and time of the games: 08-08-08/08:08PM.

Most people would be glued to TV (in whatever time zones) for the live telecast which is expected to showcase its 5000 years of Chinese history to the whole world. This is definitely not to be missed.

If you are somewhere without a TV but has broadband access, you can catch the live telecast using the P2P link at http://www1.myp2p.eu/channel.php. You need to go to the Software tab to download and install a client such as Sopcast, TVAnts, Media Player etc. Then go to Live Sports tab and proceed from there.

Got to go now, enjoy the Games.

First Post

My first post after moving to Malaysia. Took a while to settle down and finding a place with the necessary infrastructures to connect myself to the world wide web again.

I have a good and generous landlord who allows me access to his broadband or “streamyx” FOC!

Malaysia is a fascinating country in many aspects and I am taking my time to uncover and enjoy every single bit of it. However, the “politics” have overshadowed everything else since the recent General Election. I am catching up on the news with help from my landlord.

“Streamyx” is crawling right now and landlord says is normal. I hate to compare it with Singapore but can’t help it. Sigh. I have to get used to it fast!
