I don’t know whether to be happy or sad or just -_____-.
Kementerian Belia dan Sukan this evening announced that they have no problem with Champions Youth Cup being held. The Ministry now pushes the responsibility of negotiating with FAM to Gifted
After all the hoohahs here and here, I sort of lost hope in the [...]

Experiencing Jesus At the Table(1)

Luke recorded for us a very interesting story, about two travelers, one anonymous one named Cleopas, on the road to Emmaus.
Richard Bauckham wrote that Cleopas (highly likely the same chap in John 19:25 and according to Eusibus, a relative of Jesus) was probably the main reference of this tradition and therefore his name being highlighted [...]

War, Law and States(0)

I am nearly done with Yunus…overall I found it not as interesting as I would imagine it would be. Bangladesh at his time was really in a “nothing to loose” sort of situation. A couple of USD would make a different between the haves and have nots. But I guess the value of Yunus’ book [...]

The Malam Belia di KOMTAR on 21st of June 08 was in my humble opinion modestly successful.
We managed to get some crowd built up to the middle of the show which began at 8pm and lasted till 10pm. Since this is the “first show” and we have said that we’ll start small, I think it [...]
