I'm Back












Hi, I'm back. And I notice much less visits now that I seldom update my blog. Another thing I noticed is that people prefer to see photos rather than to read. After all, a picture says a thousand words. So, I'll dig out some old photos and recall the few times we were abroad. Take a look at the photos above. Guess where we went. France ?





Now take a look at the photos below.







I'm sure you can recognise the Stonehenge. But did you notice that we're wearing the same clothes? Hopping from Paris to England in a day? Possible, but we were actually "all over the world" in half a day. These photos are taken during a visit to "Window of the World" in Shenzhen, China.





More replicas below. Recognise them?





















From the photos you can see that this place is worth a visit. Even though it's all fake, it gives a chance to see the places up close. After all, I don't think we can afford to visit all these places. With budget flights direct from KL to Shenzhen, this trip is definitely cheap and worthwhile. We don't have to follow tours, it would be more enjoyable to just move around Shenzhen on your own.


And if you plan to go and want to know more, just drop a message in the chatbox.

Keeping In Touch

How time flies! It's already a month since my last post. There have been quite a few visits to my blog since I took a break. For those of you who want to see some photos, I'm afraid there won't be any this time. Ok, so what have I been doing this past month?
Besides the usual work, chores and some exercise, the most eventful thing that happened during this past month would be the 12th General Election. The results have been shocking, unbeleivable but not totally unexpected judging from the emails, sms's and vocal opinion we've been hearing prior to polling date. This Election was also a memorable one for me. Instead of just casting my vote s I usually do, this time I played quite an important role - ensuring a fair and transparent voting process (at least on my part I'm satisfied that the polling in my station was conducted fairly, transparent)
I was appointed as a presiding officer for one of the polling stations. The election process is fair and transparent, at least at our level. I don't know about other levels, but the results show that it has been fair. Earlier allegations of rigging are really uncalled for. Ok, enough of this boring stuff. More updates some other time.
