Was in Ipoh to attend a funeral last week. The deceased was a school headmaster, and her funeral was on a working day… so understandably most of the people at the funeral were retirees, retired teachers to be precise.
Heard a lot of conversations, mostly about where to find the best doctors, best supplements, grandchildren, and gossips of what’s happening to the others that’s not at the funeral… apparently there’s a fella that got married at the age of ~65… pretty cool huh.
It’s rather funny though, that these people have been friends for years… and it took a funeral for all of them to gather again. Friends are precious, friends for decades are priceless…
On our back to KL, I told my mum that she shouldn’t wait until the next funeral to meet her friends again; they should hang out more often for a tea or dinner… she agreed.
Thought of writing something about love… but nothing comes into my mind. I’m starting to admire those love novels writers; it probably took some great love experiences and/or imaginations to write a great love story.
A great love song will at least require the same passion, and perhaps works better than novels… “First Love” (~ Utada Hikaru)…
Korean singer U-Nee committed suicide and passed away on Jan 21.
When Mongolian Altantuya Shaaribuu was murdered in Malaysia a few months back, some photos were widely spread, mistaken as Altantuya; but in fact the photos belong to U-Nee (or Lee Hye-ryeon).
U-Nee’s death is nothing less tragic then Altantuya; she’s said to be suffering from depression from various pressure, including abuse and defamation from various online sources.
A pro-government Malaysian daily (NST) has sued two popular Internet bloggers for defamation in what a critic said Thursday would have a “chilling effect” on freedom of speech. [Full story here]
Lots of bloggers are standing in defence for the 2 bloggers, Jeff Ooi and Ahiruddin Attan… but honestly, what makes people think that bloggers can’t and shouldn’t be sued if we did something wrong?
A dear family friend passed away yesterday… I’m leaving for Ipoh a couple hours later to attend her memorial ceremony and funeral.
It’s saddening to see long-term family friends leaving, but it’s not too much of a surprise though, anything can happen when people are getting into their 60s.
What really matters is how we live our life when we are still standing. Quite often I see old folks losing special interest, wandering every day’s life just like every other day… I can’t say it’s bad, they probably felt peaceful and blessing to enjoy the easiness… but I sure wish that my life will still be exciting when I’m old.
I think I will be doing a bungee jump when I’m 78, and probably die of heart attack that same moment… it should be cool.
Melayu Boleh SEO Challenge was organized by WangCyber, a Malay language forum cater for Malaysian internet entrepreneurs.
The idea of using “Melayu Boleh” as the keyword is probably that the term Melayu Boleh is frequently searched, but the search results often returned with porn related websites.
I am the kind of people where coffee has no effect on my whatever body system… I can drink a cup of coffee and sleep like a pig in the next 15 minutes.
In fact I found that I slept better after drinking a cup of coffee… weird.
Sometimes I do envy those who shows more response with the coffee caffeine, like when you need a boost to work late at night… like right now… when I need to work on some projects.
Too tired… coffee not working… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
