Ok. Second time in Rome and the city is still as beautiful as we left 2 yrs ago. Surprisingly this time no one tell me about this phrase "Rome wasn't built in one day..." if anyone tell me that, I'll look a at them and say, " duh!! Teluk intan also not built in one day la!! :) Anyway, a couple of things I noticed in this trip. 1st. Italian doesn't know how to use TomTom! 2nd. Roads were built for horses hence no lines are needed! 3rd. Italian can really talk non stop. Non stop probably is an understatement.!! 4th. Mozzarella cheese are made of buffalo milk (ya, I didn't know that and also buffalo produce milk). 5th. Hopefully Francois not reading this. Buffalo and cow are 2 different animal :) 6th. Apparently, punctuality is not in the Italiano dictionary. And they said the Germans are too serious :) 7th.   My god/pope!!! They really can eat!!! Typical dinner "process"  Wine and sparkling water. Antipasti ( meat, cheese, brea...

After more than 30 mths of joy ride, splendid destination and magnificent driving experience, I have sold my first car in the UK, which My wife loosely called it UAY :) I know. It's not a Beemer. Nor it's a proper 5 dr saloon. But for the past nearly 3 yrs, this small wonder has broaden my UK horizon, helped to shift my house and others too and accompanied many visitors in the UK. I might not miss this as much as my 9839, but certainly it has left a very long tire trail in my heart :) Ardios my UAY!!

Or is it remember remember, the fifth of November? :) still don't give a damn on what's Bon fire all about. But on the way back yesterday I just realized, wow, has it been the 4th Bon fire since we first came to the UK? Gosh... Anyway, had a walk near to the Olympic park and managed to snap this... Yup.. It's real!! Olympics 2012 is getting real and near :) some how it reminds me of Bukit Jalil in 1997 when KL hosted the 1998 Commonwealth games. And wow!!! Has it been 12 years since then??? Goshh... I think I've been a bit negative in this post. Let end with some great news. Yup... Christmas is just weeks away and it's always fun and exciting leading towards the holiday season. And of cos, my birthday!!! And and... Ermmm... Has it been our 5th anniversary already???Stay tune...

There is no doubt. Apple's iPod in 2001 has revolutionized how we listen to music, forever. However, it's not Apple who started the evolution. Nor it's Napster who redefine the industry. It's all started when we WALK with our music collection on our WALKMAN. Remember that wobbly cassettes tape? Remember that alcohol cleaner? The red "rec" button on almost every WALKMAN? That spare AA batteries you bring around? And of course, mixed tapes!! Like iPod, since 1979 WALKMAN is the loose term for all portable music cassette player. I remember there's once my friend who work in Panasonic and I asked, what's your WALKMAN range like? Of course the reply was less than amusing and briefly ended with, WALKMAN is Sony's trademark laaaa!!! Anyway, I think like many others of my generation (and before) WALKMAN is part of our life and it will ever be.   (source: http://commons.wikimedia.org) Last but not least, remember Paul de sotong? Yah.....

If this is not seditious, what is??!! Is 1Malaysia just another "number"? Is this a challenge to all Non-Malays to start fighting with our beloved Malay neighbours and good friends at school, colleges & workplace?
