City clinch title in dramatic finale to season
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/sports/article/manchester-city-win-english-premier-league-title/LONDON, May 13 — Manchester City claimed their first English title in 44 years in barely believable circumstances today as stoppage time goals from Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero snatched a 3-2 home victory over Queens Park Rangers.
Got this from my colleague. Seems like Manchester United also managed a cup for 2012…

I love holidays… Holidays are good.
We went window shopping today when I saw this interesting poster on the types of knives…
Interesting…
Was going to boil some water when I noticed the tap water was kinda bubbly…
But it’s no carbonated water! 
I watched the water and after about a minute or so, it cleared up.
Not sure if this isdue to water treatment plant problem that caused water disruption a few days back (and low water pressure this morning).
Safe to drink? I decided to pass… Will only boil water tomorrow morning instead.
It’s been a while since we went ‘anywhere’.
So last night, when my sister-in-law asked if we were interested to go for a day trip to Genting Highlands, we said YES!
It was a quick trip. We just wanted to try something different and break the routine. Had lunch there, did a quick walk and we were on our way back home.
But I think Gabriel was quite excited during the whole trip. I believe it is actually his first trip out of our normal hang-outs…
This time around, we didn’t try out the rides, etc… Seems the only way into the theme park is to buy the day pass. Not worth going in this time around, we figured.
But we noticed… GENTING HIGHLANDS IS NOT BABY-FRIENDLY!!! Lots of stairs and escalators and almost no elevators anywhere. We had quite a difficult time moving around with a stroller. I guess this place is meant primarily for gamblers (adults).
On the way back, we stopped by the Chin Swee Caves Temple. A lot has changed from what I can recall… Wow… This temple even offer accommodation as well. We plan to drop by again and stay here. It looks nice and peaceful.
It’s always nice to have a holiday, especially one right in the middle of the week! 
…Looks like something out of an alien invasion movie, huh?
Lots of thunderstorms and heavy rain over the last few days…
I like looking at stars at night. I can sometimes just stare at the sky for hours and just me amazed by what I see. Looking at stars is a really hard-to-describe experience… For someone like me, who knows nothing about the stars, I can only admire the moon and the twinkle. I won’t even know the names of the stars (or even planets) that I’m looking at.
But it is not easy to see stars when one is living close to the city as the lights from buildings and street lights will somehow block out the stars.
This evening, I was somehow lucky enough to see bright stars lighting up the evening sky. I could see the moon. There were also two other bright objects in the sky (sorry, not UFO)…
I wished I knew what the other two bright objects were… Then I remembered I had installed Google Sky Map. Hmmm… I guess it would be a good test of the apps. Continue reading »
If there is anything a nation needs to look out for and weed out, it is corruption. Left unchecked, a nation can be destroyed by corruption.
Think about it.
If corruption is the norm in a country, then it is a situation where anything is possible and money can get you anything.
Want a application approved? Just ‘contribute’ to the ‘retirement fund’.
Want to have your police record cleared? It can be done — just pass some cash over.
Want to make someone disappear? No problem… Tell us how you like the person to disappear and we’ll tell you how much.
Soon, everyone in the country starts to understand how the system works. People realise the law can be broken. People start to realise that as long as you have the money, you can get away with anything…
And slowly… The nation falls.
The poor can’t go anywhere and have to remain. The rich, they bail out and live elsewhere. The corrupted? They have enough money to also live elsewhere…
Dad called me up as we were preparing to go to bed. He told me that he has just been robbed and he is in the hospital.
He had been slashed.
Not again… Just about one month back, my mum’s handbag was snatched. Now it’s my dad’s turn…
I called my brother and we quickly rushed to the hospital. When we arrived, dad was already being checked on by the doctors in the hospital. He had one cut on the forehead, one on the arm and another at the palm. But the bleeding had stopped and doctors said that it looks like my dad was lucky to only have external injuries.
Thank goodness dad is alright.
But I really wonder… What is Malaysia turning into…?!?
