Well, taht's not really the case now. I'm going to Penang tomorrow because my friends had asked me to join them and their little trip to Penang. And I will be staying with one of my friends' house for a while, (Thanks, Izzat O.o) but like always, when I'm traveling to other places, Internet connection seemed so hard to get by. Gee, I can't do updates of my blog then. Not blaming my friend here, because there seems to be certain circumstances on why he can't have internet connection there. It's not the end of the world pun kan?Anyway, with my trusted brand new phone, I can always do mobile blogging kan? Anyone wants something on my trip there? Don't hesitate to give me a call!Anyway, Mak(mother) forced me to go since she mentioned how I didn't have enough clothes for the matriculation program.Tata XD

Future in Penang
2008-04-18 13:06:00 I think it's quite late now to tell where I'm going next from here. Yep, you guess it, I'm really going to KMPP or Kolej Matrikulasi Pulau Pinang or in English, Matriculation College Penang. That is my first choice when I first applied for matriculation, and who knew I'm gonna get it. Some of my closest friends got there too. So I'm quite relieved that I won't felt alienated when I entered there since some of my friends are there as well. But then again, some who I really wanted them to enter there didn't got there, which is quite a disappointment to me. But hey, you can't be too selfish right? If I got the JPA scholarship, (please pray for me that I do :D), I would go away on my way to the overseas, much farer than now if I'm in Penang. I know we would not be able to stay together forever but I do know only this one thing for sure; we could always contact each other whenever we need to. Some friends are only kept on the road, but mine are kept forever.In Penang, joining me...

Penang and the dismantling of NEP on Aljazeera
2008-03-21 11:00:00 Aljazeera is becoming more and more like the unofficial online media for our political opposition parties. Wonder who is behind this, Anwar Ibrahim? Lim Kit Siang?I really don?t care as long as Aljazeera relay the right kind of news to the whole world. Aljazeera has done a very good job so far and the indications were there for us to see. Just ask UMNO and Barisan Nasional, they should know. :-)The common Malays in general are not that worried about the dismantling of the New Economic Policy as introduced by DAP in Penang. So far, only the elite and filthy rich Malays who had benefitted from NEP made most noises. Thanks to those multi million dollar project and tender suckers, now we know what NEP truly means to the elite Malays. :-)Part IPart IITags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

Penang Brand
2008-03-11 02:12:00 This is the first time, the state of Penang falls into oppositions hand. Let us see how far this new state government will bring development in next 4 to 5 years to come. Most of the western Malaysian states falls in opposition hands. But, of course we cannot see the development of 50 years in 4 to 5 years, but at least if there is some changes, it will good.Penang is now under DAP. DAP's head's house is just at Waterfall road where he will always have visitors. Whenever I cross his house, can see a few cars parked outside, doesn't matter if it's night at 11pm. Karpal Singh is the leader of DAP party and will lead Penang state under his party.I don't know what is going to happen to ongoing project that has already been launched and planned for Penang state. I hope DAP will secure this project for Penang state as what the previous state government promised.Let's hope for the best.
