The temperature in Seoul plunges by a few notches abruptly today, signalling the arrival of Winter. Average weather today is 0°c and for the next 2 days it will be sub-zero throughout the day! As I walked back to my hotel after work today, I noticed that many ppl (including me) were caught unprepared by this sudden drop in temperature with only a thin sweater.
Hopefully I get to see some snow before I return to Singapore at end of this week.
I really wonder how on earth this Tajuddin Abdul Rahman asshole got voted in to the Parliament! This guy is totally disrespectful, thuggish, rude and unintelligent. He is not only kurang ajar, but langsung tidak pernah diajar! Watching his antics in parliament really really infuriates me…
However, it’s really funny the way YB Lim KS outwitted him in the end. Totally hilarious… muahahahaha!
In a stunning turn of events, the Shah Alam High Court has ruled that RPK’s 2-year detention under the ISA signed by Syed BOTAK is indeed illegal!
While this is bad news for MONGOLIA and ROSIE, it is great news of all Malaysians who despise such abuse of the repressive ISA law.
Quote from MalaysiaKini.com:“Hence the court finds the minister had acted ultra vires (beyond the powers) in issuing the detention order under the ISA section. For example, the minister cannot issue an order if a person had in bad faith decided to colour his hair red.”
Raja Petra’s lawyer Malik had during submissions before today’s decision said the court had the jurisdiction to scrutinise the detention order if it was made in bad faith.
“This is not a situation like Jemaah Islamiyah or communists. This is just a man whom the government thinks can bring it down to its knees,” the counsel had said during submission.
This implied that Syed BOTAK has abused his power - illegal detention! The big question now is whether any action can be taken against Syed BOTAK? Well, he is an UMNO goon after all, and we know that UMON goons are “above” the law!
Welcome back RPK! Boy, I really look forward to read about your experience in Kamunting and what your next course of action would be.
After spending 1+ month each during Winter and Spring in Seoul, I’m going to be there again for Autumn. I have read that the autumn weather makes for pleasant days and cool evenings, is one of the best seasons of the year. Also, I’m looking forward to the red maple leafs and great autumn scenery (hopefully great photos too)!
On 14th June 2006 we solemnised our marriage at the Registry of Marriages (ROM) of Singapore. We were married in 10 minutes!

We spent a day taking these photos. Photo shoot started at 10.30am at the studio. The photographer chooses only plain color background and it seems like pink background is the best! For the outdoor shoot, we decided to go to Raffles Place for city shoot and also at old Parliment house. We were lucky that the rain only started after we were done. All the shoots ended around 6pm.

Our traditional wedding is set on the 22nd December 2008 at Tai Thong Restaurant, Heritage Hotel, Ipoh.
Spent 10 days hopping around Stockholm, Malmo, Gothenburg and Copenhagen after accompanying my wife for her conference in Stockholm. My favourite place was the small city of Malmo - full of history, color and culture!

Up till now 3 people has been arrested and possibly locked up for 2 years without given chance to be trial in court, simply because they are conveniently deemed “a threat to national security”. One is a blogger, another is a reporter while the other is a Member of Parliment representing the people (and she happened to be the MP who won with the biggest majority during GE2008).
Is this the final chapter of the Abdullah regime? This is really sickening beyond words…
To the current regime, I have 2 word for you - “FUCK OFF!”
Which of the above do you prefer as the leader of your country? Unfortunately, this is the sad and ludicrous state in Malaysian politics.
After the exciting news that the “alleged sodomizer” has won the Permatang Pauh by-elections with a bigger majority, I certainly hope that he is able to fulfil his promise to take over the government by 16th Sept, which is 3 weeks away!
Well, we’ll see…
Finally, I’m going to Europe for the first time. Actually I’m tagging along my wife, who planned this trip along with her colleagues “in the name of science”!
Ok, 3.5 hours more to my flight! Looking forward to my 10 days stay in Stockholm, Malmo, Gothenburg and Copenhagen =)
After staying for a total of 10 weeks in Seoul recently, I have learnt to appreciate the food and culture in Korea. Koreans have a very unique asian culture which is some what similar to Chinese. While the people are in general conservative, they are extremely polite.
