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.

AirAsia cancelled Danang flight since June 2013

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,
