I saw this book years ago, when I was in University, in SUFES bookstore. But I was too poor to buy it then, I mean, the little money that I had, I saved them for days when I had even lesser. Since then, I never saw the book again. I was captured by the cover [...]
A suprising paragraph from a new book I bought:
Brian Keenan (An Evil Cradling) describes how, after being beaten by one of his captors, his first thoughts of revenge were replaced by something else:
As my anger diminished I felt a new and tremendous kind of strength flooding me. The more I was beaten the stronger I [...]
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 [...]
I am going to Terengganu for SUKMA 08 tomorrow. Prof. Yunus’ book will be my companion. JR bought it for me as one of my bday gifts. I can’t say he has got brilliant economic ideas, but well, his ideas were brave and they simply worked. Maybe not much of an economic analysis than an [...]
Went makan and jalan-jalan with JR and my sis, and found this:
It's crazy…check out the book prices at Amazon and MPH Malaysia

I bought it at Popular, Megamall Penang for RM9.90 (that's less than USD3). The Cashier actually double-checked the price…and I myself can't believe it that when I added the book into my Google library, I [...]
It's a good day today, early check out from work (4pm!).
Met up with a potential buyer for a property my friend and I are brokering…(ahem…if only Kar Yong sees this)
Received this from Yang Jerng (thanks mate!)
Looking forward to getting Social Intelligent by Dennet sometime next month (Christmas present anyone??)
Received this from Yew Kong (thanks [...]
Jung's pyschological types + Myer-Briggs personality test
I have just finished Blink. Probably that explains the high marks on “Intuitive”.
Malcom Gladwell helped to demystify intuition. I mean, he did not claim to take away the mystery, the ability of the brain to make intuitive decision is still well “behind lock doors”, but Gladwell has shown with real life [...]
Corgito ergo sum
Is the mind really the sum (no pun intended) of objective truth?
I am currently reading
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
…planning to complete by the end of the Raya holidays.
And
The Two Horizons: New Testament Hermeneutics and Philosophical Description by Anthony Thiselton
… planning to complete by the end of November…
And I am a happy new [...]
