Some Memories

I wonder how's the deal gonna work out ... PETALING JAYA: The proposed partnership between AirAsia Bhd and Jetstar is nearing fruition after a year of talks and the deal will be announced in the first week of January. A media conference has been scheduled for Jan 6 in Sydney where both parties and Qantas will announce the details of a strategic agreement and how these parties will work "innovatively together'' so as to drive greater cost efficiencies across AirAsia and Jetstar. One route that may be shared is the KL-Sydney sector which AirAsia has failed thus far to get rights to ply. Jetstar, even though it has stopped plying the route since September 2008, has the rights. Will that rights be shared by AirAsia? The Kangaroo route (from any Australian point to KL and on to Europe) is a possible route that these airlines will capitalise on and with the partnership, AirAsia will be able to offer connectivity all over Australia via Jetstar Australia and it can tak...

I feel so touched when reading this piece of news. Personally, I'm so glad to have registered as an organ donor this year and hope when I'm gone one day, at least I still could contribute something to the needy.

KUALA LUMPUR: As people were busy counting down to Christmas, the parents of a 17-year-old boy made a generous decision that gave what could be the best present to at least three people. The boy had been declared brain dead by doctors at Selayang Hospital after a road accident on Dec 20. The parents' decision set off a chain of events which eventually saw their son's kidneys transplanted to two young patients — a girl and a boy, both 16 — and his liver given to a three-year-old girl. The operation was carried out at the Selayang Hospital from 9pm to 5am on Christmas Day. Besides the li...

Love at first heard. And that was my memory. Now I'm just too drown with it. Sara Bareilles - Gravity MP3 download Something always brings me back to you It never takes too long No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here Till the moment I'm gone You hold me without touch You keep me without chains I never wanted anything so much Than to drown in your love And not feel your reign [Chorus] Set me free, leave me be I don't want to fall Another moment into your gravity Here I am And I stand so tall Just the way I'm supposed to be But you're on to me And all over me You loved me 'cause I'm fragile When I thought that I was strong But you touch me for a little while And all my fragile strength is gone.
