The young (and may be also the old) yearning for a figure to adore and love, will lean on singers and pimps as their idols. We got American Idols, Malaysian Idols, Akademi Fantasia, Obama, Anwar, Nik Aziz, Mahathir and so on. We love fantasy, we love stories and we love to exaggerate. (An idol for someone out there but not me. He bangs!) This was not a recent phenomena, but

Agreeably our spoken language is being molded everyday. We add, subtract, divide and reduce certain Bahasa Malaysia words in our pursue to be "new" or "fashionable" or for no obvious reason at all. My concern is the word "Kot". ORIGIN OF "KOT"It was used primarily by Malaysians Malay living in large cities in West Malaysia states like Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Selangor, Johor, Melaka and Negeri

Recently, Malaysia has turn from a openly neutral country in its foreign policy to an openly Pro-Washington. What Bush has failed to do was achieved brilliantly by Obama's "Soft-Diplomacy". The one-year old administration of Najib has laid out strong foundation in its domestic policy such as forming labs through the Government Transformation Programme to solve the never ending problems of

The world has changed rapidly after the industrial revolution in the 19th century. Since then, people are no more working for themselves but for others. Instead of working day and night toiling the land or some other works, the economics of the industrial revolution dictated that people should work on things that they are best at, for others and get a paycheck at the end of the month. The money

I found this song "Jalan Lurus" sang by Gita Gutawa, an Indonesian artist. It's a song about love primarily but love according to the way of Islam. And the song partially sums up what is Islam is all about.Nice tune.

Enrolling in a postgraduate programme is putting a toll on me. The obvious thing is that I am tired and need some refreshment. So as a non-car-owner like any other naive undergraduate in UM, I took a taxi yesterday and went to the most exciting, gargantuan and hippy shopping complex in the whole Lembah Klang, that is the MidValley.I've been there countless of times and that's the nearest thing

Again it's another new year in the Julian calendar. We are entering another time "frame" called 2010 after going through 365 days of our life revolving around the sun in 2009. For a perspective, it has been like this for two thousand and nine times since the creation of the calendar. Somehow the "newness" of a new year reminds us of how far we have been in our short life. How life has changed or

Alhamdullilah. That’s the only phrase that I can say to describe my feelings after the grueling five tiring days of fever.Last Saturday I fell terribly sick. My joints ached all-over and I suspected it might have been the overdose of Nescafe (Green packet) and Coffee that I took two glasses a day for every single day for two weeks. So I stopped drinking Nescafe again.Then the headache came. It’s

Yesterday I was being hounded by a simple fact that an unfinished work will always haunt you and everybody else.While analyzing the 2008 data as requested by my supervisor, I found that the age range for almost all of the samples are of adults. While the samples are purportedly coming from a pediatric institute a.k.a children's hospital, how could all the age range for all of these samples are of

As I could remember, Friendster was the top social website and Malaysians were recorded as the largest group of people using it (kira syok2 sendiri la ni).And now that has changed. In Malaysia these days, another social website named Facebook rules the internet. Almost everybody especially the youngsters, would have a Facebook account and they will "poke" each other, post on the "walls", chit

It has been almost a month I'm in Universiti Malaya, pursuing my Master's Degree in Molecular Virology. I have seen gapping jaws by the very mentioned of this field of study and I beg to my dear readers not to do so because the term is not that very difficult to comprehend once I explained it to you.Molecular virology is well, made out of two words namely "molecular" and "virology". The former
