Hey folks,
Yup, the King of Rock n Roll is alive,...I mean in his music and movies. Last Friday, was his birthday if he was alive.
Confession, I am a huge Elvis fan. Been his big fan since 1992 when I was in the US thanks to my dad who was playing all this documentaries and shows about Elvis. Ironically, during that time time period, the alternative music (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, STP) scene was exploding in the US and around the world and here I was listening to Elvis music!
Been to Graceland before, but just once and hope to come back again.
Personally, Elvis is the King of Rock n Roll because he set the trend, the explosion of popular music. Agree, he is not the creator or architect of rock n roll music, but he basically open up the doors for the pop culture to become what it is today.
Favorite Elvis tracks; Little Sister and Burning Love.
Personally, the best Elvis is when he did the 1968 Comeback Special. That was the ultimate
Elvis in his top form and shape! That time he prove it all he was the Man of all Music.
The King is gone, but may his legacies live on forever!
Cheerios!

"I'm like a Bird"
Dear Folks,
The first weekend of January 2010, a truly milestone for all of us!
The 'Herald' case:
The attack against the churches due to the 'Herald' issue should not be condoned. No doubt Malaysia is a country where the official religion is Islam and the majority are Muslims, but the rights of other religion must be respected. Malaysia is known not just for its multiethnic beauty and melting pot, but also tolerance and respect of all religious faith which why we get the envy of many countries including the United States, etc.
Interestingly, the 3 major 'monotheistic' religion; Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, do share the same one god (Allah), but it is just the concept is different. We do share the same prophets with the exception of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. who to Islam is the last and greatest prophet. Hopefully a solution can be achieved and all of us can move on as a Nation.
Washington Redskins:
Yes, they hava new coach, Mike Shanahan is his name. Former head coach of Denver Broncos and experience of winning 2 SuperBowls! Hopefully, he'll turn things around because what matter is winning and getting that SuperBowl trophy back!
Cheerios!

On the Fourth day of January....
Hey Folks,
Happy New Year! Welcome 2010. 2009 is history and 2010 is going to be our new mystery!
Today is the first day of school in Malaysia. My kiddo, well he has another 4 years to go before enrolling into primary school. That'll be the day!
My New Year, spend time at the beach. Enjoying the beach sights and sounds during New Year eve. Doing something different for a change.
2009:
As usual, a lot of happenings and stuff. Lost important key personalities such as Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze, etc. In Malaysia, we did missed many...to name a few, Yasmin Ahmad, Tun Abdul Hamid Omar, etc. We won football in the Sea Games GOLD that is....since 1989 finally! Change of PM from Abdullah Badawi to Najib Tun Razak. We got our first submarine! It was also a year of many by-elections. Yada, yada, yada, yup just like any other year 2009 is full of surprises, events, etc.
Washington Redskins:
Looking forward to the new season and perhaps it could be a new headcoach taking over. They lost their last game of the season to Chargers.
VT HOKIES football:
They won their bowl game. Beat Tennessee. Will wait to see where they are in the USA Today Top 25 and AP Top 25. Hopefully they will be in the top 10.
High Court Ruling on the use of Allah in the Herald:
It was certainly talk of the nation. Shocking for most Muslims in the country. Well, the government better resolve the problem before any possible tension may arise. One thing, the High Court mades its ruling so have to honour that, but the judiciary process allows room for appeal. So that is not the end of the saga since the Ministry of Home Affairs and PM's Department is going to appeal and PM Najib will be meeting with Yang Dipertuan Agong over this issue.
Personally, I have studied Christianity and come into dialogue with Christians when I was in the US especially discussing and engaging the difference between Islam and Christianity. What really puzzle me is that the Christians (in the US) never mentioned of 'Allah' in the Bible, Gospel, Psalm, New Testament, Book of Jericho, etc. The Christians will always refer to God or Lord, beside the Son of God and Holy Spirit based from my observation and understanding. In Malaysia, where the majority of Malaysians are Muslims and the official religion is Islam, it is best that this matter shouldn't be highlighted or brought into court in the first place. Like they say, leave it alone or leave it as it is. Now it is already in the headlines, and not just in Malaysia alone, but the whole world is watching to see what'll happen next.
Cheerios!
