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

Dinner with mum and sister at Sunway area yesterday, jammed for an extra half an hour because of the protest at Sunway Pyramid against the hike of toll rate.
I wonder why the protestors chose to demonstrate at Pyramid… it’s private property and as far as I am concern, Sunway Group has nothing to do with the toll hike. I wonder why they didn’t held the demonstrations at the toll instead?
The protest disrupted the businesses nearby, the boss of the restaurant I was dining told me that their business could drop by 30-50% because of the protest. It just showed that the protestors were being inconsiderate in some sense.

Visit Malaysia 2007 doesn’t started brightly… first it’s the incident where 30+ Taiwan visitors refused to get off a MAS plane after it landed in KaoShiung Taiwan, in protest of flight delay and poor treatment; and then here comes the BBC article that claims Malaysia authorities being racist.
I already mentioned in some of my previous post that 2007 is just a stepping stone for Malaysia tourism; it’s undoubted that they will be a rise of tourists this year, but what matters the most is that the experiences of these visitors will determine the reputation of Malaysia tourism for years to come.
Every little bits of travel experience matters. I can still remember how I was being troubled at the London airport where I was stranded for 25 minutes answering some stupid questions from the immigration officer… and 14 months later now I am still doing free but bad promotion for them.
There’s a good chance that Malaysia will do well though, Malaysians are mostly friendly people and with various joint efforts, Visit Malaysia Year 2007 should be a good one… despite not starting too well.
