Same meaning.

The recent remark of the Canadian PM that proposed that Quebec form a Nation within Canada, has caused quite an uproar among the canadians.

Canadian PM Said

"The real question is simple: do Quebecois make up a nation of their own in a united Canada? The answer is yes. Do Quebecois make up a nation independent from Canada? The answer is no and will always be no."

Forget about Nation. Effectively, the above sentence is of no difference from what Deng Xiao Ping has said.

Deng Xiao Ping said

"One Country, Two Systems"

The only difference is this : Canadian PM sounded much more diplomatic, and it gives an illusion to the separatists that they have a nation. Deng is simply blunt, but he is totally honest. The fact is, whether it's Quebec or Taiwan, their fate is sealed : they will forever remain as provinces.

One night at the Mines

Last night, at round 9pm, I walked into the Mines Exhibition Hall to visit the chinese book fair. Just as I entered the main entrance, a middle-aged guy with a big belly, dressed in a white shirt, was walking slowly infront of me. One young guy carrying a walkie-talkie pointed to a big banner hung high up near the ceiling, and the middle-aged guy looked upward. These two men exchanged some conversations, inaudible to me.

I wasn't going anywhere. I stood near them and observed them. That big-belly guy is Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, the Founder & President of The Mines Resort City empire.

What suprised me immediately was the lack of security. I looked around hunting for edgy men with bullet-proof vest or muscular guys with stern looks, but none was found. The young guy with a walkie-talkie was the only person that accompanied him.

One may argue that this is Mines, his own territory. If you are stupid enough to fuck with him in any way, you will not be able to walk out of the Mines. However, this is in strong contrast when Tan Sri Lim Kok Tay is in his own territory - Genting Highland. He will be surrounded by security people, a long list of Senior Vice Presidents of different units. You would not expect Lim to walk around the Theme Park with just one guy tailing him.

So after a while, Lee picked up a few books and carried them in his hands. One of the books carried a chinese title - "Grow your English in ...". I couldn't see the last few words. So this guy, with 10 billion-asset, could do everything he wants, but he probably can't do this : Speak and write good English.

What suprised me most is this : None of the public visitors recognized this guy. The irony is this, some guys were even browsing the books of the theme of "How to get a job.." near Lee, but in fact, all they need to do, is to have some basic knowledge, recognize this guy, walk-up to him, get into a little conversation that impresses him, and who knows, it might change their destiny immediately.

Vogue, hire me

Wow, it's been ages since I last blogged. Here is my first attempt in being a fashion critic.

8 things a guy hates about, but the girls do not know

Many girls in Malaysia have the habit of reading imported fashion magazines to get fashion tips. Well, honestly, I don’t think this is a very good idea. Fashion magazines are written by people who are too absorbed in the fashion world, and their interpretation of beauty tends to be a little detached from the public. The fact is, if you are a girl looking for advice, you should consult a regular guy like me, because my view represents the common view of countless males in this country. So I’m going to be brutally honest and tell you 8 things that usually girls like to do, but not necessarily attractive to males.

Smokey eyes - Avril Lavigne has done it. Faye Wong has done it. Basically, they surround their eyes with a big ring of black color. Now, I’m not sure how anyone would find this sexy. They look like they are very tired, and they need a lot of sleep. Sometimes it gives me an impression that they have been beaten up. Anyway, I have the urge of calling cops and get them some help.

Excessive hair highlights – You can color your hair in 5 different colors, but seriously, it looks like somebody has accidentally poured some ice-creams onto your head. Nobody would remember your face. All a guy can remember of you is your hair.

Black nail – If you have long, black nails. I would be quite worried if you were to shake hands with me. Did you just dig up some dirt? Are they clean? Are you sick?


Excessive body piercing – I know that of a lot of girls love to pierce their ears to a degree every inch of the ears is covered by some kind of metal. Well, I’m not going to stop you if you are a member of a heavy metal band. But if you are just a regular girl, I would find this quite weird and unnecessary.

Huge sun glass – I don’t know who started this, but lately a lot of girls hide half their faces behind an extremely large sunglass. Are you trying to send a message that your face is very small and cute? Well, the fact is, you look like a kid who has stolen your dad’s sunglass. Go home and play with your dolls.


Platform boots – Some girls usually wear platform boots to make themselves look taller, slimmer, but the fact is, usually this has the exact opposite effect: It leads guys to focus on your boots and recognize that your legs are really short.

Skirt-Pants – It’s common to see girls combine skirt with pants. I don’t know. This is really a weird combination. They are not feminine. They are not casual. They just look like somebody is in the middle of trying out a new skirt, and they are too lazy to drop the pants that they are wearing.

Lolita – Lolita fashion is a style of dress in which one attempts to look excessively cute, to the point of appearing childish. This originates from Japan, but now you can see some copycats in KL. I would like to give you a candy, if you walk past me.

What makes a girl hot? There is no straight-forward answer. If you are already quite cute or good looking, any excessive or abnormal fashion is going to distract people from focusing on your beauty. If you are not a born beauty, any excessive or abnormal fashion is going to magnify your defects. The fact is, when you least expect it, somebody would find you cute, even if you are in the most embarrassing state – ice-cream all over your mouth, or that you are yawning.
