Madrid Fashion Week make an unprecented move to ban overly-thin models from the catwalk. So far 5 models are banned from the 44th annual fashion show, “Pasarela Cibeles.”
Don’t get fooled by the numbers though, because only 68 international models showed up for appraisal whereas in previous years theres over 300.
That probably means that some 200+ models already knew that they are going to fail the weight test and didn’t even bother to show up.
The Islamic world seems furious about what Pope Benefict XVI said that relates Prophet Mohammed for bringing evil and inhuman to the world. [CNN]
Malaysia Prime Minister Mr. Badawi has joined in the attack demanding an apology from the Pope and Vatican. World wide Muslims are going on streets to protest the remarks from the Pope.
My point is however.. did all the protesters know what the Pope actually said? Is his comments misintepreted? Did he intend to humiliate the Muslims? What’s the point of his statements?
I bet most of the protesters have no idea what exactly is happening other than plainly following what the Islamic leaders and press suggested, that is the Pope insulted Islam.
Kiroro is one of my favorite Japanese artist (2 actually, they are duo from Okinawa). Their music is often so simple and pure, with just a piano and a beautiful vocal.
I first learnt about Kiroro from Taiwanese singer Rene Liu, who sang a few Chinese hit songs adapted from Kiroro’s original Japanese version.
Malaysia higher educational institutions are quite concern lately about the shortage of PhD qualified lecturers in universities, public universities in particular.
Most local universities are busy finding solutions to boost their rankings, they often look for shortcuts like hiring more PhD holders, getting more international students.. but often neglected the core of education.
It will take a few post to discuss the whole matter, I’ll now show a few examples why PhD lecturers are not necessary good lecturers, and might not be the direct solution for better higher education.
Perhaps everyone will have friends that we love to hate.. the kind of friends that you will like to punch on their face and call them idiots if they are not your friends.
I have more than a few of these friends, I bet you have too.. friends that will disgust you if they are strangers. Somehow faith plays its part, those idiots become your friends, and you can’t call them idiots anymore, you call them buddies.
I just wish that I don’t need to marry a wife that I love to hate in future.. but who knows, life is unpredictable after all, so is love.
