Sybreon Ones Nought

This was our first proper day tour in ChiangMai. What amazed me when I first got out of our hotel was the conditions of the streets outside. While the area was lined with the night market the night before, it was totally cleared up by morning. Not a single speck of rubbish was to be seen on the streets and the only visible evidence that anything had actually ...

According to MalaysiaKini, Wee Meng Chee (aka NameWee) is once again embroiled in another stupid saga. However, I personally think that he is acting like an idiot now. I think that his touch with fame has gone to his head and he is now attention hungry. It speaks volumes of his musical talents if he has to resort to constant controversy in order to sell his music. According to ...

I just read this article in TheStar today, where our DPM (and soon to be PM) openly questioned the quality of the Malaysian education system. Quoting the article, our DPM said that: "Our education system must change. Our children are just not curious enough. They must be curious about the world. They must ask questions."

We are fortunate in that we have one of the most generous national governments, when it comes to educational funding.

He also had little knowledge in the specific area and asked me for recommendations on reading material. Seeing that it was someone from my ...

It seems that the government may just end up reverting the teaching of science and mathematics back to the mother tongues, instead of the present system of teaching it in English. The logic and evidence behind this decision is also highly flawed. Personally, I do not think that it is a good idea. Educational policy should never be dictated by the electorate. Parents do not know what is good ...

I woke up today and found out that they were doing a promotion for the sexy Slimline PS2 at £50. I have actually been waiting for such a promotion for quite a while now. You will be hard pressed to even find a pre-owned one at that price. I told my self a long time ago that if the PS2 is sold at £50, I will go pick ...

In light of the targeted attacks on the VC of UiTM recently, it just got me thinking about this whole issue with VCs. The attacks mainly focused on the VCs lack of academic qualifications and his personal political affiliations. While I can understand the political justification of such an attack, I cannot condone it as it is an undignified attack. I should try to justify why I think that ...
