So London won the rights to hold the 2012 Summer Olympics... and it got bombed the next day. Oh dear... I convey my condolences to the victims of the bomb attacks. G8 seems to be more intent on helping the hardcore poor in Africa (and also lending some help to Palestine!). But untimately, only the people of Africa can help themselves. What's the use of aid and money when most of it goes to corrupted politicians (very prominent in most of Africa)? Hopefully the money and aid goes to where it is needed.

Just came back from Majlis Makan Malam KSKUiTTHO (Kelab Staff KUiTTHO dinner ceremony). I got to attend it because there was a prize-giving ceremony for the academic achievements of KUiTTHO staff's children. It was boring for most of the time and the food wasn't nice, but some of the performances were good. One was the saxophone performance and the other was this guy who played a double necked guitar--absolutely fabulous! Got a really nice jazz feeling to it. I was so mesmerised, I fantasized felt that it would be really romantic awesome if i could be at a chic restaurant eating a candlelight dinner with someone i love with this music in the background...

Well... there were other interesting things that I wanted to show through pictures, but unfortunately, the worse thing that could happen to a photo-blogger happened--I forgot to bring my digital camera! Didn't get to take the interior of Katerina Hotel with the chandeliers, the pretty ladies dressed up in traditional costumes...

Ok, anyway, the funniest / stangest thing was during the last cabutan bertuah (lucky draw). It was the giving away of the second prize. Nombor 653! no one came... Nombor 247! no one came... Nombor 351! etc. for 6~7 times before there was a winner! Well, it's probably because many people had left earlier (it was getting boring when there was no food/drinks + no music). Oh well... another thing i have to mention is that many people were happily (noisily) chatting when the rector of KUiTTHO was presenting his speech. Have they no manners?! I would've been rather ashamed, because apart from the staff of KUiTTHO, there was also a visiting professor from Canada attending the ceremony. Bah! Malaysians manners!
