It has been such a busy day for me as my former student is staying with me till Saturday morning. I do apologise that I was slow to response to readers' comments and missed the lunchtime post as I was in Little India then.
The morning began with tim sum breakfast (halal) with Pat and Nizam at Gurney Drive. Over many cups of tea and morsels of tim sum goodies, we reminisced and they were amazed I would still remember many of the exploits of their cohorts.
Pat reads the news on TV Thai and is in the NKH team for Thailand. Apart from that she is a professional MC for many events and teaches at one of the Thai universities. For the information of the young, single bachelors, she is still very single :-). I am so proud of her and even of her brother who works with the UN in Bangkok.
Nizam runs his own business and is such a loving husband, devoted father, dedicated businessman and caring friend. Both of them were in my Economics class (1994) but Pat also took my Sociology classes for five years and survived. We were so touched that Nizam flew all the way from KL just to spend time with us and to give us a tim sum treat.
After breakfast, we went to see our old school at Kelawei Road - the site is now being developed and we were so brokenhearted to see what had happened to the school. Next,we went to see her old house and then we proceeded to New World Park where we ate LOTS.
Soon after, I took her to the Sleeping Buddha temple and then to Little India where she had a gala time taking lots of photographs.
On the way home, another former student, Jeremy, who runs Thai restaurants with his family, called and requested to meet Pat but I had to drop my son at tuition class. Fortunately, I flashed at a cab which stopped at the side and Pat hopped into the cab happily and I am at home, blogging finally! In two hours' time, we will be at E & O Hotel for the Uplands Reunion Dinner.
Before I say adios, wits0 told me about the headline at THIS LINK here. I was taken aback with the headline because one must remember that in journalism, one has to observe OBJECTIVITY and to tell it like it is. Well, I leave it to you to decide.
My husband will be releasing the comments this evening. I will resume normal blogging later this evening or tomorrow morning and will be back with sopo posts. Apologies for this sabbatical today :-).
Have a lovely evening!

She is beautiful inside and outside. That is why the policeman stopped my car last night to ask me who was my passenger :-). You can see her in a CNN interview re the BKK protest.:-).
Have a lovely evening!

Anonymous China Press spared the rod?
Haha, the Home Ministry made a mockery of itself!

Anonymous While China Press got the big hit from the ministry for its "overly expected" report on the IGP's resignation, Utusan Malaysia got the "congratulatory" letter from the ministry for their "good job" done in publishing lies, false reports, racist oriented reports, attempt instigation of riots and create disturbance, encourage demonstrations, accusations, advancing hatred, violence, revenge, racial disintegration, disunity and threatening the national security and public order of our nation.

Unknown Sorry, IWC. We only add people whom we know in the real world. This is a very important principle to observe when using social networking sites. Take care and have a good day.
