..before starting new posts, lemme tell u few things about dis weekend.. its not d weekend so important but the places.. after couple of years, again this friday night n saturday i've really spent some time in kuala lumpur (KL).. not much difference from the last time.. guys, anybody coming to KL these days? if yes, n u wish to do some shopping, dis is d place i suggest.. but it doesn't mean that this is the place where u get the best prices.. there are many places where in certain place, u'll get certain items cheaper than compared to dis place.. but if u need a place of "all in one", no choice.. have to go here.. the place name is MidValley [A shopping centre with 430 shops on five floors located near Bangsar (i lived here earlier :)). Anchor tenants include Carrefour, Jusco, Metrojaya.], people say that one of our indian politician (andhra :)) have 40% share in this.. :) let him.. as we know, indians invest everywhere and they will involve in everything.. i cant sit n type everything here.. if really interested, pls go n visit this link for the details..

try this only if you can sit in between hundreds of ppl crowded and then a nice flavour which u cant take it.. :), choice is urs if u wanna sit in the walkway.. where people will just walk very close to u.. ofcourse they will, why dont they do it when u sit in their walk way?? dont ask me.. then why the chairs are in the walk way?? may be midvalley's style..hahaha..i donno.. take care if somebody hit u while walking, the chicken piece u r eating may be on ur GF's head or the coffee that u r drinking may fall on her new T-Shirt which u bought her in ur last shopping.. :)same thing can happen to u if somebody hit her.. ( apart from this, odd mix of non veg, mixed smell of hundreds of perfumes.. donno what to say, u better feel it..)
dont worry, i got a place for u here, but please.. if u agree with me that u can adjust with vegetarian food for that time.. Indian style, Indian taste.. much to say.. a unique of its kind.. look at their caption "Eat what you want, Give as you Feel. we believe in you, we trust you". they will never charge you for what u ate, its up to u howmuch u want to pay.. i bet nobody will misue this after eating there.. need full details on where they r located world wide?? :) i know u all not like me, u all travel a lot.. ok, go here for full details. this is singapore annalakshmi website, u can get the other details here..

ANNALAKSHMI is in the east side of midvalley ground floor.. land mark is next to police outpost in midvalley.. i think these details r enuf to find it, if not.. take ur time to search n explore on ur own.. ) now what?? wanna watch movie?? few theatres r inside u can watch d one u wish.. finished watching movie?? now what?? :) i hope u'll be with empty pockets by now.. go home n sleep then.. "NO MONEY..HOW ABT TOMORROW?? follow our regular policy.. TOMORROW WE THINK ABT TOMORROW.." a policy most of us follow rite?? :)

ladies and gentleman, dont forget to come and comment here abt ur experience in d above said places before u slp.. ok??.. thks for coming.. c u later..

like Christina Baldwin said,
"To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against." .. donno gentleman bush had ever come across with this valuable sentence or not??.. and few puppets like tony blair r always ready with d drums..

there are few..
they call themselves big.. they call themselves rich.. they call themselves civilized..
they call themselves cultured.. they talk so much.. but what do they do in reality?? want to see?? No wonder this world is still producing people like osama..

world is thinking that president of the US is the captain of the world..

“One of the advantages of being Captain is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it.” -- looks like BUSH & his team well practiced this..no UN, no others could stop their desire for war.. :( lets go back n look into this..

“If one is going to change things, one has to make a fuss and catch the eye of the world” -- is this what these OSAMAs doing because of BUSHes??

at the end it looks like all these fellows forgot that they are human beings.. born to live n let the others live.. not to kill each other.. whatever GOD he is, why didnt he give brains 4 dis fellows 2 think rationally??

please follow this link and watch the facts..

if it is a coax".. do u think it is??

I am a female Chinese Malaysian, living in the Washington DC area in the United States. I have read many of the letters that often talk about foreign countries when the writers have no real knowledge of actually living in those countries.

Many draw conclusions about what those countries are like after hearing it from someone else or by reading and hearing about them in the media or after four years in a college town in those countries.

I finished STPM with outstanding results from the prestigious St George's Girls School in Penang. Did I get a university place from the Malaysian government? Nothing. With near perfect scores, I had nothing, while my Malay friends were getting offers to go overseas. Even those with 2As got into university. I was so depressed. I was my parents last hope for getting the family out of poverty and at 18, I thought I had failed my parents. Today, I understand it was the Malaysian Government that had failed me and my family because of its discriminatory policies.

Fortunately, I did not give up and immediately did research at the Malaysian American Commission on Education Exchange (MACEE) to find a university in the US that would accept me and provide all the finances. My family and friends thought I was crazy, being the youngest of nine children of a very poor carpenter. Anything that required a fee was out of our reach. Based on merit and my extracurricular activities of community service in secondary school, I received full tuition scholarship, work study, and grants to cover the four years at a highly competitive US university.

Often, I took 21 credits each semester, 15 credits each term while working 20 hours each week and maintaining a 3.5 CGPA. A couple of semesters, I also received division scholarships and worked as a TA (teaching assistant) on top of everything else. For the work study, I worked as a custodian (yes, cleaning toilets), carpet layer, computer lab assistant, grounds keeping, librarian, painter, tour guide, etc. If you understand the US credit system, you will understand this is a heavy load.

Why did I do it? This is because I learnt as a young child from my parents that hard work is an opportunity, to give my best in everything, and to take pride in the work I do. I walked away with a double major and a minor with honours but most of all a great lesson in humility and a great respect for those who are forced to labour in so-called `blue collar' positions.

Those of you who think you know all about Australia, US, or the West, think again. Unless you have really lived in these countries, i.e. paid a mortgage, paid taxes, taken part in elections, you do not understand the level of commitment and hard work it takes to be successful in these countries, not just for immigrants but for people who have lived here for generations.

These people are where they are today because of hard work. (Of course, I am not saying everyone in the US is hardworking. There is always the lazy lot which lives off of someone else's hard work. Fortunately, they are the minority.) Every single person, anywhere, should have the opportunity to succeed if they want to put in the effort and be accountable for their own actions. In the end, they should be able to reap what they sow.

It is bearable that opportunities are limited depending on how well-off financially one's family is but when higher education opportunities are race-based, like it is in Malaysia; it is downright cruel for those who see education as the only way out of poverty. If you want to say discrimination is here in the US, yes, of course it is. Can you name a country where it doesn't happen? But let me tell you one thing - if you go looking for it, you will find it. But in Malaysia, you don't have to go
look for it because it seeks you out, slaps you in your face every which way you turn, and is sanctioned by law!

Here in the US, my children have the same opportunity to go to school and learn just like their black, white, and immigrant friends. At school, they eat the same food, play the same games, are taught the same classes and when they are 18, they will still have the same opportunities.

Why would I want to bring my children back to Malaysia? So they can suffer
the state-sanctioned discrimination as the non-malays have for over 30 years?

As for being a slave in the foreign country, I am a happy 'slave' earning a good income as an IT project manager. I work five days a week; can talk bad about the president when I want to; argue about politics, race and religion openly; gather with more than 50 friends and family when I want (no permit needed) and I don't worry about the police pulling me over because they say I ran the light when I didn't.

my last words: thanx to MACEE n malaysia, atleast she got the oppurtunity because she is a citizen of malaysia.. could she able to if she is not a malaysian citizen?? Its not just what the country gave us.. what we did 4 the country also.. anyway, after all these r every individual's personal views..dear lady, be happy wherever u r.. A good country always wishes the same for its citizens
