Dead
Looks like this blog is seeing its end of the light kinda thingy. I dunno why I just lost the spirit of writing these stuff even though Malaysian politic is going banana at the moment.
Luckily, we didn't go into KL since there was people going crazy. For whatever reason.
But either way, I wonder whether there is anything to report.
1. Going to Indonesia the other day was one bloody hell experience. Give me the creeps if I talk about it.
2. Finding new offices etc, looks fun and I wished our Company can super expand to everywhere around the world. Muahahahahahaha. :)
3. Since things are happenning quite nicely (I think), hope to see more things I can do in the Company.
Sigh. But of course there is going to have the ups and downs. We shall see.

Kris Allen Won American Idol
Looks like Kris won American Idol. Yay. I was really supporting him!
Adam was great but he is always over the top. Good and bad. Very original. Sometimes painful to my ears.
But both will get their own records for sure.

How you'd all doing?
Hey hey. It has been some time I have written a post. But anyway, I just got back from Houston. And let me tell you this. Although I love to flight, this is just crazy. It's like flying from KL to London on the same day. Just transit in Heathrow for 1 1/2 hours and off you go back to KL.
BANANAS!!!
However, the trip was one its kind. I loved it. It is the best show in the world and now it's true.
Okay. I have to go sleep now because the jet-lag is making my body a bit crazy.

Susan Boyle
It's kinda wow and I'm listening to hear nearly every 20 minutes. It's really a heart-felt performance and she can sing for sure.
This is about the same case as Paul Pott. The previous winner of the X-factor. But even better. And I think it's the song too. I dreamed a dream.
From the BBC.
Last weekend, Susan Boyle was just a face in the crowd.
This weekend, clips of her singing on Britain's Got Talent have notched up almost 50 million views on YouTube.
Her face appears on the front pages of papers in Britain and beyond, she been offered a seat on Oprah's sofa and has been told she is as good as guaranteed a worldwide number one album.

The rise of the 47-year-old woman from Scotland has been a true global phenomenon.
Last Saturday, viewers saw Boyle, with double chin, unkempt hair, frumpy appearance and eccentric demeanour, step onto the talent show stage and proclaim her dream of being a professional singer.
The judges rolled their eyes and the audience pulled incredulous faces. Onlookers, on set and at home, were rubbing their hands at the prospect of another hopeless, deluded loser being crushed by a withering Simon Cowell insult.
Then she opened her mouth and sang I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables.
Her voice confounded all expectations - the judges' eyes bulged, the crowd went wild and Boyle became an instant star.

Ever since, the "fairytale" has travelled the globe and interest in the church volunteer has snowballed.
It is the story of a talent unearthed, but that does not fully explain why she has become such a sensation.
Boyle has shattered prejudices about the connection between age, appearance and talent. She has proved that you don't have to be young and glamorous to be talented, and recognised as such.
The YouTube millions have cheered on the underdog, and seen in her the possibilities for their own hopes and dreams.
Immediately after her performance, one of the judges, Amanda Holden, said they had been "very cynical", and that the performance was the "biggest wake-up call ever".
Another judge, former newspaper editor Piers Morgan, appeared with Boyle on CNN's Larry King Show.
"I'm sorry because we did not give you anything like the respect we should have done when you first came out," he told her. Referring to her appearance, he said: "We thought you were going to be a bit of a joke act, to be honest with you."
Boyle would have a best-selling album and a world tour by the end of the year, whether she wins Britain's Got Talent or not, he assured her.
And mentioning fellow judge Simon Cowell, Morgan added: "It's fair to say that his eyes have been going ker-ching ever since Susan's performance."
Blogs, newspaper columns and talk shows have been full of discussion about why Boyle has sparked such a reaction.
"She reordered the measure of beauty - and I had no idea until tears sprang how desperately I need that corrective," said Lisa Schwarzbaum from Entertainment Weekly.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, writer for US celebrity magazine Entertainment Weekly, said the performance was a powerful reality check.
She wrote: "In our pop-minded culture so slavishly obsessed with packaging - the right face, the right clothes, the right attitudes, the right Facebook posts - the unpackaged artistic power of the unstyled, un-hip, un-kissed Ms Boyle let me feel, for the duration of one blazing showstopping ballad, the meaning of human grace.
"She pierced my defences. She reordered the measure of beauty. And I had no idea until tears sprang how desperately I need that corrective."
Her post has been followed by comments from scores of readers saying they watched the clip repeatedly, with the same emotional response.
"I cried SO hard," read one. "There's something so beautiful about reaching your dreams... and knowing that age means nothing."
Another wrote: "I cry because she reminds us to hope, to never lose track of our dreams, to keep putting one foot in front of the other no matter what others say or think. She gives us hope."
"Fairytales don't come any more satisfactory than this," wrote columnist Melanie Reid in The Times.
"The sisterhood of the plain, those of us who will never look like Girls Aloud, nor even Girls Aloud's grandmothers, are cheering as never before.
"Susan Boyle is the ugly duckling who didn't need to turn into a swan; she has fulfilled the dreams of millions who, downtrodden by the cruelty of a culture that judges them on their appearance, have settled for life without looking in the mirror."
Miranda Sawyer, writing in the Daily Mirror, questioned why image was less of an issue for male singers.
"No woman gets to perform publicly unless she looks like Mariah Carey," she wrote. "If you're a female singer, you are required by showbiz law to appear sexy at all times.
"Poor Madonna and Kylie are desperately keeping up appearances, holding back the years with Botox and face-fillers just so they're allowed to continue with their careers."
The Sun newspaper has given away a free Susan Boyle souvenir poster. US talk show host Jay Leno performed an impression of her on his show.
Demi Moore famously joined the fan club. Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has congratulated her. She is odds-on favourite to win Britain's Got Talent.
A star has been born. Whether she will she leave a dent on our prejudices about age and appearance remains to be seen.

900th post
Well, this is my 900th post. Not too bad eh. Though I have to say that my posting has dropping crazily. From 2-3 posts a day not to hardly once a week.
I guess I don't have the feel to write anymore. Not to say that my engrand and england so good also.
Anyway, happy belated Earth Hour. I'm sure it was a good attempt to inspire and aware people on how we can save the world. Though to be honest again, it shouldn't happen just once every year. Just do it once a week and I bet it will make a bigger impact. :)
