What are you hoping to find under the tree this year?
I'm hoping that it will bear fruit instead of gifts. Hope the tree will grow with hopes and anxiety to embrace the future. I don't celebrate Christmas so I don't have Christmas trees. But I'm on my holiday too and it's new year anyway, so why not wish for something good?
I wish for a better tomorrow. Peace to the world.
I wish for success in whatever that I do.
I wish for everlasting friendship.
I wish other people would share the same wish under their trees.
Happy holidays everyone =)
Maggi have margarine? Yes indeed, but it was a history, it's more than 10 years already. My luck today see this in the market (i mean the empty bottle)

The Central Council of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) has extended the tenure of Mahmoud Abbas as acting chief of the Palestinian Authority until new elections are held.
The vote endorsed Abbas' earlier decision to call off the January 24 presidential and legislative elections due to the boycott of the vote in the Gaza Strip by the Hamas movement.
Parliament's mandate was extended too at the PLO meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Abbas, whose term ends on January 25, says it is impossible to hold the elections due to Hamas' refusal to allow voting in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas, which controls the coastal enclave, disputes Abbas' legitimacy and says the extension is unconstitutional.
The Central Council also endorsed Abbas' refusal to return to negotiations with Israel until the regime stops the construction of Jewish settlements in the occupied lands.
"We will not go to negotiations until Israel fully halts settlement activities and agrees to a term of reference for such negotiations," said PLO Central Council member Tawfiq al-Tirawi.
Abbas' failure to mend fences with the rival Hamas movement or win concessions from Tel Aviv's hard-line regime has impaired his reputation among scores of Palestinians.
Ever since Hamas won an outright majority in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections, the two factions have pursued bitter rivalry featuring sporadic fighting and tit-for-tat arrests.
Since Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip from the Fatah faction in the summer of 2007, the coastal enclave has been under an economic siege laid by the US, Israel and the EU.
Since then, Hamas has governed the Gaza Strip, while Fatah has continued to control the West Bank from Ramallah.
Israel and Egypt, with the Palestinian Authority's blessings, have both sealed their borders with the Gaza Strip, effectively cutting off the coastal enclave from the rest of the world.
The Western-backed embattled Palestinian leader has frequently threatened to resign over the paralysis of peace negotiations with Israel, despite the fact that he has at the same time suggested to remain in office.
-My opinion- How can the PLO extend the term of Abbas when he was never elected? It amazes me that many so-called intellectuals, political leaders, NGOs, and foreign governments sit idle and accept this undemocratic leadership. So what would happen if (although highly unlikely) the people of the West Bank end up electing Hamas? Would the Israeli government launch another genocidal bombardment and imprison the people of the West Bank into a humanitarian disaster as they did to the people in Gaza? It is obvious that both the blockade and the Gaza invasion last year was simply an attempt to punish the people of that small strip of land for voting for a party that Tel Aviv and Washington did not approve of. Mahmoud Abbas will never accomplish anything for the Palestinian people. Perhaps people should research just how he came into power and poke into his history. One will be surprised at what will be discovered. Most Palestinians consider Abbas to be an American puppet and he’s done nothing to try to unite the Palestinians that he was so instrumental in dividing. The only people he seems to be popular with are the occupying forces and Condolezza Rice. Mahmoud Abbas, just another sad chapter of ineffective, divisive leadership for Palestine
Random stuff. Watch in order. This is the original remastered version:
I just bumped into a link of an event organised by cyberview involving a 40-hour-online gameplay to set for a world record. In my opinion, this is better than setting world records for wasteful and irrelevant event such as the largest cake, the highest roti canai and the longest bread (unless people will eat it!). They are things that even ordinary people can do if they have the money. It also questions the role and status of the record adjudicator. Games can also help people's brain to work effectively, depending on which type of game they are playing.
But having to sacrifice 40 hours for the record can be absurd too. Unless you are provided with the necessary things to keep you survive, I think it should not be a problem. This is better than loitering every night doing stuff that makes parents worry.
I'm still hoping to see Malaysians who become record breakers in athletic and adventurous stuff, like hiking Everest or sailing around the world. This is something that not everyone can do. However we could hardly see that now. It's all about spending money to break records.

Today, my staff's dad passed away, suddenly.
Imagine her shock, and mine, and ours. It's like a bad dream happening all over again.
So we rushed to Tambun. Me and the whole Unit. I had to bring along the whole unit, because i want them to appreciate teamwork, be it in sadness, or good times. Some representatives from the other units went with us.
It was too hard to picture her emotions. But i think i knew. The difference is, she lost her father, the pain is worse, i guess.
