My country - Truly Asia

There will be a rally at Stadium Merdeka tomorrow. Since last week, police barred the main leaders of the campaign. These few days, polices set up road blocks and checked for suspicious people. People trapped in the traffic for hours and hours. People delayed important events e.g. wedding, graduation, meeting etc. People late for flight.

Things are getting worse tomorrow. Most of the roads into city centre are blocked. The transit and buses to KL might be disturbed as well. The city will be totally in siege. People who work and have business in the city are either get a leave or find their ways to go to their offices in the city. I don't know how many million of loss we need to bear after this. I don't know how many people will be affected tomorrow. I don't know what changes will happen.

I would never understand my country.

The Time Traveler's Wife~Book Discussion

It's fun to think about the following questions..... Discussion Questions from the Publisher In The Time Traveler's Wife , the characters meet each other at various times during their lifetime. How does the author keep all the timelines in order and "on time"? Although Henry does the time traveling, Clare is equally impacted. How does she cope with his journeys and does she ultimately accept them? How does the writer introduce the reader to the concept of time travel as a realistic occurrence? Does she succeed? Henry's life is disrupted on multiple levels by spontaneous time travel. How does his career as a librarian offset his tumultuous disappearances? Why does that job appeal to Henry? Henry and Clare know each other for years before they fall in love as adults. How does Clare cope with the knowledge that at a young age she knows that Henry is the man she will eventually marry? The Time Traveler's Wife is ultimately an enduring love s

Thoughts @ ICAAP

1) It was my 5th day at Bali. The conference was great. It gave me some times to think about the project that I am currently handling and some ideas on where the project should direct to and how to work on it. I couldn't have done that if I continue to stay at the office. Too much works and I was doing for the sake of finishing it. 2) I met an American lady at the conference when waiting bus at the drop-off place. Yeah, another American lady... She is lovely and talkative. She works at Hanoi, Vietnam and has been working there for more than 10 years. She told me a lot about her life, from internship at Fiji, studying at Uni Hawaii, working at Thailand, Switzerland, so on ...... and how she met her husband. She said a lady like her, who is so independent and mobilize, would not think of marriage or meeting a guy. Unexpected, she met her husband at Vietnam, who was working there too. The most wonderful part was that her husband came from the same area as she was. Just few years ago,

用一杯咖啡的时间 (spend some time drinking coffee with me)

亲爱的： 我每一天都在期待这段时间。当早晨的太阳洒落在马克砌成的小圆桌时，你拿着咖啡向我走来。我随手接过，然后我和你坐在客厅的角落。你看你的头版，我看我的娱乐版。你说：怎么又看没营养的新闻？ 哪有人天生爱看营养的新闻? 看越多新闻的人，压力就越大，严重影响健康。 然后，我们又沉默了，回到各自的世界去。
