hooray june is coming!

Hey Folks,

BAck to the world of blog, yes the window for one's mind to express and say whatever he or she wants to put in simple words or maybe complicated as long as the message is across the net.

Wesak Day:

Yes, because of the diverse background and culture, Malaysia is celebrating Wesak Day and it is a public holiday tomorrow 28th May 2010. Wesak Day is special especially if one is a follower of Buddhism. It is the birthday of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. Happy Wesak Day to all Malaysians who is celebrating this most auspicious moment.

Tanjung Tuan (Cape Rachado):

Have you ever get the chance to go up to the famous lighthouse of Tanjung Tuan or its historical name is Cape Rachado. It was built by the Portuguese back in the colonial days when they were the major European power in the region and established Melaka as their important colony.

Anyway, it took about 30 to 45 minutes to climb up the hill (which is actually part of a cape). Once you reach to the top of the Tanjung Tuan, you could see the beautiful sea of the 'Blue Lagoon' or Teluk Kemang. Unfortunately, the authorities locked the gate to the lighthouse, but one can still hang around and witness the beauty of the Straits of Melaka and its the coastal areas.

After that you can go down the hill and discover the unspoilt beach on the otherside of the Tanjung Tuan. It is about a 30 minute walk down the hill. The beach is really unspoilt and definitely a place to breath and relax and mesmerize the tranquility and beauty of mother nature. The best part is climbing up the steps from the beach to the top of the hill (where the lighthouse is located) and going down the hill and back to the original starting point and that took about 35 to 45 minutes. Really a good workout for me and wife and kiddo!

World Cup 2010:

Yes it is coming folks. Get ready for that late night or slumber party mode. If one is into football or soccer, one of the greatest sports in the world and yet again it will be the focused of 2010.

Which country will win? Too early to say.

Thomas Cup:

As expected, Malaysia lost in the semis. It seems that despite the homefield advantage and playing in front of the countrymen, darn it we lose the damn game! Pardon my French!

Like they say, life is bittersweet in certain ways.

Cheerios!

Come what May

Hey Folks,

May alread rolling and feeling like the end of 2010...! Goodness gracious!

By elections:

BN won the Hulu Selangor. So despite the win, it was not really a huge one consider the drop in the Chinese votes. Sibu, this weekend, tough call despite Pakatan (DAP) is the underdog.

UK New Government:

Congrats' to the new UK PM that is David Cameron. What is interesting is that it is a coalition government between the Conservative Party and Liberal Democrats since the Tories couldn't get the much needed majority in the House of Commons. It is going to be an interesting marriage between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. In everybody's mind is will the UK be the usual 'yes' to the US or this time they will stand up to them. Wait n See as usual.

Thomas Cup:

Malaysia as a host and finally in the semis, meeting China. Tough, tough game.

Cheerios!
