Mikal and I
Our friendship began approximately 3 yrs ago, but we only got to know each other much, much better since 2 and a half years ago...When i first arrived in imperial college to do my PhD, he was already in his 2nd year PhD and he was still trying to recover from his father's death. We met through mutual friends, which are also our circle of friends...they are lina (petlin), sue (pet aya), hekarl (pet bulu), zamri (legam aka abg am), and mikal (or i sometimes call him mimmy).
We became rather close after this silly misunderstanding on a Circle Line tube on our way to bayswater.
I'll continue with my story on him later on.

Weight problem? underweight? overweight? .....Kirsty Allen of Cheers and Look
Who's Talking fame has her own story which turns into a sitcom called Fat Actress. It will premier in the US next Monday, 14th March 2005 (reuters ) and it will feature some famous hollywood celebs like John Travolta and rock singer Kid Rock.
Some of the highlights includes fat men and skinny wives which will definitely incite mixed reviews and literally delivering some slaps to the hollywood husbands.

News bits
Anti-muslim in european countries as a result of the infamous 11th September 2001 WTC bombing incidents has always been debatable topic among EU countries. More story on BBC news.
One example of Mossad's successful intelligence: Tzvi Milchman .He managed to capture Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann,where he was put on trial in Jerusalem and hanged in 1962. That reminded me of another famous Mossad-trained lady,Cheryl Bentov who lured Mordechai Vanunu, the nuclear plant whistle-blower to Rome before he was drugged and sent back to Israel to face trial and was sentenced for 18 years prison.
BP is expanding their oil exploration in Indonesia.BP has seen profits boom in recent years, driven higher by record crude prices and greater investment in exploration. Annual profits in 2004 jumped 26% to $16.2bn. Well, hopefully, Indonesia will benefit more from it and hence, a fair distribution of wealth for the Indonesian, esp after Tsunami catastrophy.
O immigrant workers, where art thou? Palm oil producers in Malaysia have began to voice their sheer concern ever since the immigrants have been ordered to return home.

Talk about prejudice at the expense of nation pride
General Knowledge:
What is a semite? A semite is a member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Middle East and northern Africa. Semitic is an adjective which in common parlance mistakenly refers specifically to Jewish things, while the term actually refers to things originating among speakers of Semitic languages or people descended from them, and in a linguistic context to the northeastern subfamily of Afro-Asiatic. (more ref on semitic: Semitic)
Ken Livingstone (controversial mayor of London) is unrepentable on his "anti-semitic" comment in which he maintained his refusal to apologise for likening a Jewish reporter to a Nazi concentration camp guard. He continued his personal bashing and voicing out his opinion at: comment ;
story
Therefore if someone is anti-semitic, he/she is also anti-arab, anti-jewish and those who belongs under the semite group. Then, we may be thinking of the whole "by-proxy practicing". Are we the victim of the world propaganda or just couldn't be bothered to find out or listen to different parties about what is actually going on around us. But on second thought, one needs to be open-minded and tries to avoid any prejudging under no circumstances while seeking the knowledge. One cannot afford to be biased and prejudiced and should not attempt to come up with unsolicited opinion when it comes to sensitive issues.
