Somehow good-looking

I was in the library when i stumbled upon this. I was bored and took some time off my books and something on the wall caught my eyes...


This photo of Prof. Ong with all the other Universities' Dean.

In that photo, he was spotting the same moustache he's having now, just that it's thicker. He was wearing the old-fashioned specs popular then, which accentuates his big nose. This image reminded me of someone...



George Lam

The singer cum actor was so popular in the 80's that so many men were inspired to have moustaches like his. I wouldn't be surprise if Prof. Ong was one of them. Hmm.... but i don't think young Prof. Ong looked like him, though both are equally good-looking. It's something else!

That old photo of Prof. Ong relates me to...








The partying favourite! The specs with big nose and moustache.








Just joking only. I'm sorry if i had offended Prof. Ong. Smiles!

just grave...

The headlines have been dominated by incidents of people being indifferent and intolerant of each other. The insatiable greed for power and wealth of the people at the pinnacle of our social hierarchy have already caused excessive exploitation of the poor. People are deceived into the delusion of freedom and equality. And with this powerful doctrine, their freedom are confined within the boundary of work and productivity. And just as quote by George Orwell, "All are meant to be equal, but some are more equal than the others". Inspite of the promise of peace which is forged amongst treaties of consolidations and alliances, war is easily invoked by condemnation and vengence. With war, people are able to establish themselves as the superior and powerful. And those who are marched to the wars are their subjects who are naive and easily provoked to suite their cause. It's heart-wrenching to see casualties among civilians and innocents. The future is just grave...



UN working as a white elephant for the Bush propaganda. The intervention for peace and justice can be vetoed with ease by a mere gesture . So does any war which works in favour of him and his petroleum empire. In the end, he would be staring at the World Atlas with a smirk, "I just gotcha candy from your grandmother's closet."

Italy World Champs

What can you say more about a game like this World Cup FINAL! Italy won on penalties in which they converted 5 out of 5 of the spotkick. France bowed to defeat with a Trezegeut's missed spotkick and Zidane tarnished his amazing career with a split second of madness by head-butting Materazzi.

The game was an emotional roller coaster. This was only the second World Cup Final which went to the penalties and i was pinning for a French triumph. France lost the lottery. Zidane did not appear for the price presentation ceremony, probably crying in regret over the incident that might be a permanent scar in his illustrious career. Being second best maybe too hard to bear.

Congratulations to the Italian!

The Asia Lantern Festival



Asian Lantern Festival.

I felt like i was back to childhood where my world simple, colourful, and naive. I reminiscenced about times when i was young and my parents brought me to places similiar to this. I just forgot where it was. It's just so familiar.


Snails and mushrooms


giraffes? girafe? girrafe? shit, i forgot to spell it. Ya, back to childhood. Spelling elementary level.


Four-faced Buddha.


Shah Alam mosque. I walked right through it. It's the first time i ever step foot into a mosque.



This is Dataran Merdeka la.


Phoenix. Still pictures couldn't capture the robotic and dull oscillating motion of the phoenix's head. Looks more dead than alive.

I might like this place if i'm still a kid.

Bye bye ENG...

England is out of World Cup… for good. It may be a heart-breaking experience for the players and fans alike, but the players really deserved the defeat. They had not produced any convincing performances in the whole tournament, not until Rooney got sent of in England’s defeat to Portugal. And sometimes you get punished for that. The penalty shootout was a disaster! We had world class players in Lampard and Gerrard, and all they did was passing the ball into Ricardo’s hand. It was not the only missed chances. Lampard was partly guilty in England’s defeat for poor finishes of chances schoolboys wouldn’t miss. Tactics? There were none. There was no pattern of play. It's cruel for them to lose a penalty against Portugal after a good extra time performance. Let’s look ahead for a better future for England football without Sven. He really did a bad job for 5 million pounds per year.
