Please allow me to take this opportunity to thank Jeff Ooi and Chang for allowing me to make this my virtual home since July 2003. But most of all, I would like to thank many of the forum members...

Ah Robertec - I did not stroke any fire. It was started by others and I only responded to it. I was talking to Cskok8 and responding specifically to his post because of the specific issues he has...

Cskok8 - I disagree with your comment on MPSJ. I have asked for branches of a mango tree to be trimmed since March. There are many things which MPSJ has not done to my satisfaction. But I do not use...

I believe we should all read Jeff Ooi's original post and answer his questions instead of diverting into other issues (I am guilty of that too). A public apology was asked. I do not see any apology...

I have cancelled my Astro.

:)

I do not think the important factor is 'eating more salt than rice' but whether you have learned anything at all from all those years of eating salt. Otherwise all those taste of salt in the mouth...

Orchi - You have every right to share your bitter memories but they are not very appropriate in this fond memories thread. Your memories are interesting but in the wrong thread because it would not...

On the contrary. The same people who have been throwing rocks at the National Service and screamed for justice when trainers allegedly misbehaved are the same people who have been posting sex jokes....

Orchi - This thread is about fond memories and not for you to go a painful trip down the alley of self-pity and abused childhood. Perhaps you should start a new thread of 'Abused Childhood' or...

I look at it differently. If you are talking about abuses - most of the abuses and sex jokes demeaning women come from people who are not hiding behind any nick. And speaking personally, I do not...

Firefly - It is not that I do not want to help. For the life of me, I cannot even remember the contractor's name let along his telephone number. In previous threads, I did mention that I shut out...

Cjtune - You made valid points. Speaking for myself, I have never considered a masters or a doctorate as a passport to higher salaries. Unless you are in education field where salary scales are...

No overseas exposure, independence or experience can substitute for the wisdom in ForknSpoon's words: 'Parents always want the best for their kids but children should also be responsible for their...

Firefly - My personal view is still what Jane has said in that the blessing is in the man, not in the land. Timo and ForknSpoon have articulated that in the same thread. Sending our children overseas...

Then perhaps Mandy should answer you.

:D

I believe both Jane and I have answered that question. Why do you think I have been advocating that I would employ local graduates? Earlier, Jane, Timo, ForknSpoon and others have also talked about...

Firefly - You misunderstood my posting. I was just stating the fact and it has nothing to do with your comments. However, in my view, if one cannot gain admission into local universities, then a good...

Shahrizat supports warning given to Astro

Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil supports the warning by the Information Ministry to Astro that its licence would be...

It has nothing to do with sour grapes because I cannot afford to send my daughters overseas. The fact is that I have known and it has been my privilege to know many good people who have benefited...

If 'Troy' the movie keeps faithfully to its Greek mythology, then the ending is not supposed to be a happy one. Helen of Troy is often regarded as 'the face which launched a thousand ships' (ships of...

Mandy - You have a very strong point there on networking. I have never thought of that. Thanks.

Hey Chang - I met and have spoken to a well cultured gentleman who took his dog for a walk in USJ2 and he has a small spade and a plastic bag in his hand. He is, not by any chance, you, is he?

:)

Angelic - Your love for animals is commendable. My view has always been that if a person cannot take care of his/her pet(s), then he/she has no right at all to keep them and make their lives...

Achee - Thank you. Personally I think the quantitative element is not important but unfortunately almost all online forums do measurements based on quantitative output. I am sure you would agree that...

I wonder if anybody has seen the movie called 'Wolf'. A 1994 production starring Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer. Quite simply, it is a story of when a mild-mannered, middle-aged book editor...
