Rebuilding the world
by Paulo Coelho
A father was trying to read the newspaper, but his little son kept pestering him. Finally, the father grew tired of this and, tearing a page from the newspaper - one that bore a map of the world - he cut it into several pieces and handed them to his son.
'Right, now you've got something to do. I've given you a map of the world and
I want to see if you can put it back together correctly.'
He resumed his reading, knowing that the task would keep the child occupied for the rest of the day. However, a quarter of an hour later, the
boy returned with the map.
'Has your mother been teaching you geography?' asked his father in astonishment.
'I don't even know what that is,' replied the boy. 'But there was a photo of a man on the other side of the page, so I put the man back together and found I'd put the world back together too.'

BUENOS AIRES
itu destinasi impian untuk tahun 2010.
tercapai atau tidak biar Dia tentukan.
tapi aku, macam biasa, tetap akan letak harapan.
tak salah untuk berharap.
cuma dalam masa yang sama kena la usaha untuk dapatkannya.
but this plan not only requires proper planning.
it also requires a lot of money.
checklist sebelum bercuti:
1. brush up my Spanish. Da berkarat.
2. survey accomodations online.
3, get connected and ask around..the best is to ask the locals.
4. confirm entitlement of voucher for free flight ticket from MAS ticketing counter.
5. roughly calculate the amount of cash needed for food per day.
6. list down all the must-go places in Argentina.
7. check the trend of their currency and roughly calculate pocket money needed.
8. familiarize with the roads around city area and their public transport services.
9. know exactly where Malaysian Embassy in Argentina.
10. plan the exact date to fly.
11. find out the weather expected there around that time of the year.
12. obtain the open ticket from ticket counter.
what a checklist and what a plan!
can't wait to execute this one.
tapi nak korek duit mane?
aarghhh....itu tak penting.
yang penting aku plan dulu.
skrg mase untuk survey happening places to visit.
vamos a ir a Buenos Aires!

Rat Pack
i think they make great records.
i can listen to them everyday and anytime.
be it while studying,
or stuck in a horrible traffic.
basically anytime i need good music
some listen to them to sleep.
but i stay awake listening to them.
not something younger generation would appreciate.
they'd rather be jumping to "Somebody call 911!"
but Rat Pack brought classy yet simple type of music.
they made me listen to each words.
and each lines cries for your attention,
can be very witty at times.
wonderful and meaningful lyrics.
accentuated by their great voices.
which are yet to be replaced by any newcomers.
and only with all that mentioned above
that one can be called a legend.
Rat Pack is indeed a legend.
or at least to me they are!
