Selena - Dreaming Of You

Dreaming of you. Selena - Dreaming Of You Late at night when all the world is sleeping I stay up and think of you And I wish on a star that somewhere you are Thinking of me too Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Than here in my room dreaming about you and me Wonder if you ever see me And I wonder if you know I'm there If you looked in my eyes Would you see what's inside Would you even care? I just wanna hold you close But so far all I have are dreams of you So I wait for the day (wait for the day) And the courage to say how much I love you Yes I do! I'll be dreaming of you tonight Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Than here in my room dreaming about you and me (Corazón) I can't stop dreaming of you (No puedo dejar de pensar en ti) I can't stop...

Malaysia highway tolls up next month, by 50 sen to RM2

Can the Malaysia government publish the justification for this increase? The increased amount and percentage are huge. And no public consultation? Solely a government decision?   Highway tolls up next month, by 50 sen to RM2 Fifteen national highways, the bulk of them in and around the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, are to increase their toll rates from 50 sen to as high as RM2 from Jan 1, 2014, newspapers reported today.

KLIA2 targeted for opening on 2 May 2014

I hope so. This KLIA2 project has been poorly managed - delayed completion (was slated to open on 28 June 2013) and inflated cost (from RM 1.9 billion to RM 4 billion)! MAHB targets to open KLIA2 for operations on May 2, 2014, following the missed completion date of April 30, 2013. The joint venture (JV) between UEM Construction Sdn Bhd and Bina Puri Sdn Bhd said it would complete the work package for the low-cost terminal, KLIA2, by the stipulated deadline on Jan 31, 2014.

Pulau Sipadan and vicinity - safe for visit?

Glad to hear the Taiwanese tourist has been released after more than a month (see the Pom Pom Kidnapping Timeline for the chronology of events). Frankly speaking, those few kidnapping incidents at Sabah eastern coastal area for the past years have made me to think twice if I want to return to Semporna / Pulau Mabul / Pulau Sipadan vicinity for visits and water activities.

Cost of hiring Indonesian maid likely to increase

Looks like the cost to hire Indonesian maid will increase. Refer to the info graphics for the cost in the past. Recruitment agencies say the stalemate in the supply of Indonesian maids to Malaysia will end now that they are empowered to determine the cost of hiring these domestic workers. However, the Malaysian Asso­ciation of Foreign Maid Agencies (Papa) concedes that the cost of employing them "will likely go up". Papa president Jeffrey Foo said: "Issues with pricing have always been the main hindrance in bringing in maids. The Government tried to control the pricing but the Indonesian agencies are still reluctant to supply the maids to us because they felt it was not worth it as they thought the price was too low.

Champions League 2014 draw

Looking forward to it! Final will be on May 24 at Lisbon, Portugal. LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City's fear of drawing one of Europe's big guns in the Champions League round of 16 was realised on Monday when they were handed a daunting tie with four-times winners Barcelona. Holders Bayern Munich will play Arsenal at the same stage for the second successive season while Chelsea hero Didier Drogba will make an emotional return to west London with current side Galatasaray following Monday's draw. Nine-times winner Real Madrid take on Schalke 04 and last season's runners-up Borussia Dortmund will play Zenit St Petersburg, who scraped through with six points after winning only one of their six group games. French champions Paris St Germain will play Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid were paired with AC Milan. "Very tough, we are happy because we are here and we will fight for the trophy, but it's true that it could be maybe better,...

Chong Wei Feng lost to the unseeded Thai player, Tanongsak Hoon Thien How / Tan Wee Kiong lost to the 3rd seed Japanese pair Chan Peng Soon / Goh Liu Ying lost to a unseeded and not very well known Korean pair Kien Keat-Boon Heong given new ultimatum KUALA LUMPUR: Doubles shuttlers Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong's position as the country's top men's pair is on shaky ground once again.

Badminton: Good commentary

This was written on 11 Aug 2013. See what's the current status now? Our Badminton is still at a dismal state. Get your act right, BAM I HAVE to admit that I have a soft spot for men's doubles shuttler Koo Kien Keat. I vividly remember his superb display of talent, style and aggression when he made his debut at the 2004 Thomas Cup Finals in Jakarta as a 19-year-old teenager. He was so full of fire back then. Together with Chew Choon Eng, they nearly pulled off an upset over Indonesia's Eng Hian-Flandi Limpele. Malaysia lost 3-1 in the quarter-finals – and it was Kien Keat's baptism of fire. I have always found him to be a charming and respectful person, one who had good communication skills too. He achieved great success with Chan Chong Ming for two years and soared to even greater heights with Tan Boon Heong. With Boon Heong, they achieved their breakthrough win at the 2006 Doha Asian Games final. Malaysian badminton then enjo...

Tan Aik Mong quits as BAM TMG director

Looks like Malaysia's Badminton is back to square one now. Looking forward to betterment aka CHANGES? We have long forgotten them. KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Aik Mong has quit as the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) Talent Management Group (TMG) director after just 18 days in the job. The former international said on Tuesday that the job, which he had carried out voluntarily, had become untenable following the BAM's decision to revert all his changes to their original structure. "I was called by BAM president Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel Tengku Ariff to assist him in implementing changes and plans to revive Malaysia's badminton. As all these changes and plans have now been reverted to the original structure, my involvement is no longer necessary," said Aik Mong on Tuesday. The 63-year-old started his job earnestly on Sept 7. The whole of BAM was behind him. And he was given full mandate to hire and fire. But there were rumblings on the ground over the changes...

Gadang to develop PR1MA houses at Cyberjaya

GADANG Holdings Bhd, has won its maiden affordable housing development under the 1Malaysia Housing Programme (PR1MA), a government initiative designed to help middle-income earners own properties. Gadang did not disclose the value of the contract. In a statement to Bursa Malaysia, Gadang said further details will be released upon the company signing the agreement with Cyberview Sdn Bhd. Business Times understands that the contract is valued just above RM1 billion, and that it has the potential to generate some RM100 million in revenue annually for a period up to nine years for the public-listed company. Gadang, however, did say that it has accepted the letter of acceptance from Cyberview to jointly develop the latter's K-Workers Housing Project in Cyberjaya. Cyberview, formed in 1996, is a government-owned company and the landowner of Cyberjaya. The firm has been mandated to spearhead the development in Cyberjaya. PR1MA was set up for Malay-sians earning not more ...

Puchong flash flood - what is the cause and action?

The flash flood happened on the 18th of Feb 2013. So have we confirmed the cause? And what would be the next action by the authorities? Have we learn our lessons? I guess not. And oh yeah, as far as I recalled, this was not first time. I still remember IOI opened air car park and the McD in IOI were badly flooded few years ago. So I foresee the sequel will take place if no further action being taken to resolve this for immediate and long term. Blocked drainage system may have caused Puchong flash flood THE 30-minute flash flood that submerged cars along the Damansara-Puchong Express-way (LDP) and in the IOI Mall open-air carpark in Puchong could have been caused by blocked drainage, which prevented water from flowing into the Klang River. Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) president Datuk Asmawi Kasbi said water from Puchong residential areas such as Bandar Puchong Jaya flowed into the river through several passages that run under the LDP and also past the IOI Mall and in...

Badminton All England 2013 Final: Chong Wei lost to Chen Long

I watched this game. Not sure why Chong Wei's movement was slow while Chen Long was turbo charged and responding to Chong Wei's shots so well. Is the age is catching up for Chong Wei or Chen Long has improved so much? I think it is both. At the same time, I really miss to see the flamboyant Lin Dan. Where has he gone hiding? WORLD No. 1 Lee Chong Wei was angry with himself yesterday after losing an opportunity to win the All-England for the third time at the National Indoor Arena. The 30-year-old Chong Wei lost his spark, losing 21-17, 21-18 to Chen Long of China in a highly-charged men's singles final. It was the 24-year-old Chen Long's sixth win in 13 meetings over the Malaysian. "I made too many mistakes today, especially in the early part of the game. I am angry with myself right now," said a disappointed Chong Wei, who also lost last year's final against Lin Dan after withdrawing with a shoulder injury. "But this is not the end. I am g...

Flood again in 2013 for Brisbane

Oh no! I don't wish to hear this. Three dead, dozens trapped in Australia floods SYDNEY: Three people were dead and dozens trapped on the roofs of their homes in northeastern Australia Monday as severe floods swept through two states, inundating hundreds of properties and threatening thousands more. The bodies of two men swept away by floodwaters were found Monday, one in the Queensland state capital Brisbane and another further north at Gympie, following the earlier discovery of an elderly man's body at Burnett Heads near Bundaberg. Queensland Premier Campbell Newman said four cities were facing major flooding in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Oswald with 1,200 homes already under water in Bundaberg where record floods had trapped at least 30 people on the roofs of their homes. "We're going to try and rescue those people this morning," said Newman. "Even though we have helicopters, the weather conditions are appalling and dangerous for flying. The ...
