Three days have gone because my diary 2 has been full and cannot go on anymore. So to-day I start with diary 3. If you want to know the bad news of China, you go into BBC, CNN, YAHOO and other Western websites to find out. But this morning I learnt a piece of good news from BBC website that is the Chinese had successfuly draining the water from the earth quake made lake that threaten the dam or whatever. It must be a bad news for the Western media with no flooding and miserable news and pictures for them to publish. To tarnish the Chinese.

Personally I have nothing to write about. Life goes on as normal. Normal means eat, sleep and we can say pass the time unprofitably in term of money or wisdom. But then events that do not concern me personally immediately is a plenty. It is boring to relate them. Such things like US election and our own political bickering etc.etc.. Isn't it boring? Oh ya. I went away from here and came back again when this item came into my mind. That the Eastern Garden had been without street light for two nights before last night after my many complaints.
14th.Jun.08.(Sat.) 0735hrs.
Heaven had been torturing China with snowstorms,floods,cyclones,heavy rainstorms,landslides etc.etc.. It is fair that Heaven is now sending flood and bush fire to the USA, so that the Americans can taste a bit of the discomfort. They are very OK because their govt. is very rick and efficient. They get all the help they need and the insurance companys will make good their losses. So what is the problem? Eia Mai had given me a RM500 cheque for father's day yesterday. The white leaders of the ex-colonial powers are busy apologising to the idigenous people for what they have done to them I wonder why suddenly their conscience has got better of them. Of course when their ancestors were enslaving the Negros, graping the natives' land and shooting them at will, there was no human rights to talk about. There was no NGOs to protect the minority race.are There was no democracy to worry about. But now the white men using these beautiful names to usurp the Africans and the Asians so that they can come back again to be their lords.
16th.Jun.08.(Mon.)
Yesterday, representing GAO Assn. went to attend the KL Chinese Assembly Hall annual general meeting. Nothing much happening except passing a few resolutions which are talked about daily such as abolishing of the ISA etc. I voted against the proposal of abolishing the ISA. I always maintain that we need the ISA to put away the mischievers for the good of the general public. Of course the condamnation of the price rise of the petroleum and Chinese educations reforms etc. Nothing new but the same old stories.
18th.Jun.08.(Wed.) 1810hrs.
Yesterday went to the National Art Gallery in the morning. I have not been there for two or three years already. It is very well maintained and there is a small library for the readers. This morning went to the Kuala Lumpur library. It is a very nice library but very much under-utilised because I saw only a handful of people there. I spent one hour on one of its about ten to twenty computers surfing the internet. I just want to feel how it works. It was good. The next place I am going is the National Museum. It was under renovation when I went there about a year ago and now I think it must have been done.
19th.Jun.08.(Thu.) 1625hrs.
Actually I did not feel like writing this story but then I thought if someone in say a hundred years later happened to read this article then it may dawn to him that man marrying man and woman marrying woman started on this day in the advanced amd civilised America! In the natural wild animal kingdom the instinct of same sex having sexual acts is non-existance and now human animal having same-sex relationship is call what animal? I hope this happenings will occur more in this kind of animal kingdom (the same sex marry each other animal kingdom). Went to the Tmn. Metropolitan for morning walk and stayed at home for the rest of the day. It rained heavily in the evening.
21st.Jun.08.(Sat.)1525hrs.
My gout started to disturb me again and this time it happened on my shoulder. So went to see doc.Lian, had a jab and got some medicine. It cost me RM32.oo plue the cream for itches otherwise it would be about RM 25.oo only. Stayed at home for the whole day. After staying at home for the whole morning, we plan to go to Lip Wern's place at about 5pm with the chicken jinger. We plan to take a good picture.
22nd.Jun.08.(Sun.) 0925hrs.
The moment I started surfing the net I read that five coalition troops were killed Afganistan, four GIs one Polish soldier plus two soldiers were seriously wounded. If the Western reporters are happily reporting bad bad news from China why can I be very very happy to hear something bad from the opposite side. Heaven is quite fair in dealing with the earthly matters. This is a glorious morning, the sun is bright and the air is cool. It is indeed pleasant.
25th.Jun.08.(Wed.) 1735hrs.
Monday acompanied mama to Petronas to get her diesel discount card to buy subsidised diesel. Stayed at home after that. Tuesday went to see the office clerk who works for the developer of the buildings which are supposed to be handed over to the owners to manage.(the Tmn Mastaria,GAO association is owning a unit and mama owns a unit). This morning(Wed.) went to the developer's office with the Sec. of the Joint Management Commitee to discuss the procedures on handing over and taking over of the management office on 30th. of this month. So from 1st. July we will start to run our affairs. In the afternoon part there was a bit of panic because mama's refuse to start. It was discovered that the battery went flate. Mama used the Wira to settle the problem temporarily until the battery is changed.
30th.Jun.08.(Mon.) 0730hrs.
Strange, I did not realise that I have not written anything for the last four clear days. I knew I did not write anything for the last few days but it was not so long. Anyway there was nothing much worth writing about. Life was going on as normal,li li lah lah. Yesterday was a busy day. In the morning part we went to the Pasar Road to roam about to see what is going there and to see what new items are being sold there. We also went to the Pudu shopping complex which we have not visited for a long time. We bought a small cute old Chinese tea pot there. After that we went to the UE3 shopping complex which has become some sort of a Chinese antique shoping complex. There we bought a few old Chinese tea pots plus a Chairman Mao's quotations pamphlet. I had been wanting to read it for a long time but did not get the opportunity. It is just like the size of a Bible. It is easy to carry around and so it can be read like a Bible. It is easy to understand too and it touches the worldly things rather than the heavenly misteries.
1st.July.08.(Tue.) 2030hrs.
There is nothing going on in the day time. Actally I am preparing to go to bed and as usual I like to know what is going on in the world so that I can muse it over while dozing off. The head line happens to give me some idea worth recording. That Zambabwe president's spokeman to Western critics:"GO HANG". I think he is right in telling the critics off if they can survive on their own without wanting anything from them. They will do nothing good for the Zambabweans but remain critics. Good night.
4th.Jul.08.(Fri.) 0750hrs.
Two days had gone by, I had nothing worthwhile to put down in my daily record. Of course there are a lot of happenings go round but there was nothing really concern me personally. The country is going through a period of high petrol price and so it drags in inflation. All activities are slowing down. The ramification is too large a subject to write. The whole world is being affected. At the moment no economists can tell what is causing the problem and how to cure it. So that's it.
5th.Jul.08.(Sat.) 1050hrs.
Hurray! Gcngratulations, how advance the Armericans are, just imagine a man has dilivered a baby girl. The only thing he cannot do is to breastfeed the baby. It is great, in America today, man marrying man, woman marrying woman. I won't be suprised in America you will find a human body with complete animal head, say a horse, a pid or a cow in years to come. At present there are a lot of Americans with the faces look like that of baboons and gorrilas,lah!
6th.Jul.08.(Sun.) 2025hrs.
Went to the Tesco supermarket in at Jln. Ipoh for about lhr. and went to Carfour super market after that just to sook around to see whether there is any items for sale or not, just to familirise myself. Slept for one and a half hour before to GAO assn. for Chinese tea and chit chat about. Stayed at home for the rest of the evening.
9th.Jul.08.(Wed.)
My! two solid days slipped by without realising it. There were nothing happening that prompt me to write. Ah yah on Monday, that was 7th. of July. Eik Mai and I went to the Silverpark to attend the Joint Management Committee meeting. This is a new stuff that being established for the residents of the apartments to look after themselves in term of the common areas. Eik Mai and I cannot be elected as committee members because we are not the owner of the apartment. We went there to attend the meeting just to listen the going on. 8th. of July, that was Tuesday, I went to the Mastaria shoplots to sort out the keys problem because I am the Chairman of the six blocks of the shoplots Joint Management Committees. This morning 9th. of July, wife and me went to Heng Jin's shop to pay the deposit for the coming trip to Cambodia-Angkowat during the second term school holiday. Also went to the Society Registration department to sort out the application for the changing of GAO association constitution. It had been delayed for about two years already.
11th.Jul.08.(Fri.) 1730hrs.
It is truely interesting to hear that the US black presidential candidate before being elected is already talking tough that he is intending to boycot the opening of the Olmpic ceremony. So I leave it to you to imagine what is lying ahead if he is elected the president. It will be interesting to see the Black superMAN against the Yellow SUPERman in the world political and military arena.
12th.Jul.08.(Sat.) 2135hrs.
Mom had gone to Betong, Thailand and the maid had been sent to SS home, so I stay at home all by myself. Stayed at home until 5.30pm, went to Titiwangsa garden for a walk because it rain at the fourth mile Ipoh Road. I took a chance to go to Titiwangsa and it happened there was no rain there. I took a chance because it always happen like that, when it rains here it is fine on the other side. According to the internet report, the French president Sarkozy(don't bother the spelling)said he will only attend the Olympic games opening ceremony with certain conditions. What I like to tell that bumb is, it does not matter whether he attends it or not. The Chinese are big enough not to need you anymore. Long live Chaiman Mao. You made it possible.
13th.Jul.08.(Sun)
Went to Brickfielf for the famous "Pork Mee". Then came home until the tea time in the GAO assn. Mama came back from Betong about 9pm. She brought back a cooked chicken-the chicken cooked with the heated salt. So, thus a Sunday is gone.
17th.Jul.08.(Thu.)
Mine!Mine! three days had slip away without knowing it. Since there was nothing happening so I did write anything. This morning I purposely went out to KL just to refresh myself. I went to the Sungai Wang shopping centre and the newly opened Pawilian shopping centre just to see around. I don't think we need to go there to buy things since all the things there can be found in the smaller shopping centres. I finally found a shop which deals in stamps and coins so I can dispose off my stamps collected over the years.
18th.Jul.08.(Fri.)
That's. The Pope just says a few words of reconciliations on the appology from the white government to the aborigines of Australia on the sins they had pepertrated onto them. Simple as that. You don't see pages and pages of condemnations churn out from the white racialistic human-rights gangsters if it is done by the Chinese.
19th.Jul.08.(Sat.) 0720hrs.
BBC web site, the title : Sacked coach attack China medal lust-Joseph Capousek. He complained that China is training their athletes will training the military. So, what's wrong with it. When the white men win the prizes in sports because they are superior in race but when someone else beside the white men then it is not right. That is their logic goes. Right?! What I would like to tell Mr.Capousek is, the Chinese are no more "the sick men of Asia." The Chinese are going to be the superMEN of the world. I got up at normal time at 5am and do my own style morning exercise for about forty five minutes. I have been doing this since my retirement since I have a lot of spare time now.
21st.Jul.08.(Mon.) 0710hrs.
When I do my morning exercises, I always toy in my mind as to what to write for the day. Of course there are so many things to write about. Many many subjects. So sometimes I think I don't want to write anything totally because I do not want to care for anything at all. Like now the Pope is ending his tour of Australia after telling the youth of the world that don't be greedy and to love etc. Dalai Lama is touring Europe preaching for peace etc. while fighting for independence for Tibet which is the subject the whitemen like to pick for creating trouble for China. The US presidential candidate (Obama) is in Afganistan and mentions that the war against the militants will be pursued vigorously. The Western correspondents of various news agents are in Beijing busying looking for bad news to spoil the Olympic games. As for myself I am very happy. I am healthy and strong and have a lot of food to each and a good house to live in, what else you want me to write about, who care about the world. At 1231hrs. Ya! I just finished surfing the CNN. The impression I got from it is WORLD PEACE means the whole world must listen to the whitemen's commands. You do what they tell you to do.
23rd.Jul.08.(Wed.) 1855hrs.
There was nothing to prick my temper so there was no writing yesterday, Tuesday. Up to this point of time there is still nothing happened worth for me to put down in writing for posterity.
27th.Jul.08.(Sun.)2130hrs.
Without realising it three days had gone by without me writing at all. Thu. & Fri. were without anything happening. Yesterday Saturday went to attend a meeting about the strata titiles for apartments buyers in the Mastaria apartments. It is the same old story of adminstrative inefficiency that caused the delay and this inefficency is being exploited by the developers of the apartments. This is a widesppread problems in this country at the moment. In my mind this is quite a deliberate norms to make the land-developers to make more money as no developers had ever been punnished for the delay when it is apparent that they are using the strata titles as collateral to get loans from the bank.(I would like to say here that this is my impression I got from the various explainations given by the speakers from the Resident Assn. Officials. I stand to be corrected if I am wrong.) This is one of the reasons as to why the idea of build and then sell is not catching on. Being a Sunday we went to Beranang sunday market just to roam about because I heard that there are a lot of exservicemen are living in that area. We hope to meet some of them but we arrived there at about 1130am and the Sunday market is already quite empty, so we decided to go on to Seremban and since we were there we went to the cffee shop which was run by our relatives. We discovered that she is no more running the coffee shop and we were given her home address. We went to see her there and found that she is still strong and healthy. We stayed there for a while and we dashed back to KL for tea session in the GAO assn. The GAO assn. people there also require my signature for the cheque. Came back at about 5.30, had a one hour nap, bathe and had dinner at 8pm. Watched and listened to the news and surfed the the net and this.
28th.Jul.08.(Mon.) 1320hrs.
"Sorry we may have killed women, children and other civilians" in Iraq, in Afgan and now in Pakistan. During the 2WW, the Jap used rifles, swords and fire to kill and burn but now the bombs are used. To bomb to kill the militants or taking revange, your guess is as good as mine. This morning went to the Telecom department to register a phone line for the Joint Committee Management's office at the Mastaria appartment. In the afternoon the GAO assn. secretary Koh Lin Ten will be going to the Registrar of the Associations to submit the correct version of the revised assn. constitution for approval. I think that will be a day for me.
30th.Jul.08.(Wed.) 0725hrs.
Regretably the earthquake in Los Angeles is small I would like to see an earthquake as big as the one that just occurred in China lately and see how their govt. handle the situation. They have been critising about other people too much. Strange, where the hell the staff in those rubbish agencies get their pay for a living, I wonder.
31st.Jul.08.(Thu.) 1040hrs.
Every morning when I surf the net and read the newspapers there are so many complains lump onto China on everything that China do make me love more on the Chairman's thought. You have to deal with these capitalists, empirialists, and their lackeys mercilessly. It makes me realised that how bad the WHITEMEN can be. They are as bad as the people they condemn and critise. It sounds that I am gloomy after reading the above statement but I am not. I record all these down for the people who had been domatised by the WHITEMEN's propagandas. Even my own children are totally influence by the western propagandas.
1st.Aug.08.(Fri.) 0830hrs.
Just finished surfing the Yahoo,BBC CNN and CHINADAILY. It is quite normal for the monkeys in the US congress to pass resolutions in condemning other countries. This time they have passed resolutions condemning Chinese govt. on the sins they can dream of just before the opening of the Olympics. If the Olympic is held in one of the Eropean countries or in America or in one of the countries that is to thier liking,they will praise it sky-high. I still remember when the English players were winning the Thomas Cup, they talked so much about the novelty of the cup and the games. After the Malayans won the cup repeatedly, they started to try to sideline the competitions. By now they don't even mention of the games at all. I quote this story just to illustrate how these bums are like. This is the morning session I may start again if I find something that prick my sparking red button.
2nd.Aug.08.(Sat.) 0735hrs.
Again just after surfing the nets. I just wonder why the foreign barbarisns are so kind to worry for the Chinese people's freedon of speech, etc. They cannot do any physical good things for the Chinese except giving flowery terminologies. In fact because of internet I am more Chinese than ever before because I can see the evil intentions of these barbarians. They come to your house and look for bad things to write about. Honestly they should not be allowed to enter your house. They will even rape your grandmother. They are worst than the sankes.
4th.Aug.08.(Mon.) 1515hrs.
My God, the BBC is using a big busts and voluptuous woman dressed in sexy T shirt to present a short film on disgracing the Chinese. I must admit that at my age it make me to want to see her again and again. You can see how smart the whitemen try to convey their message across. This morning we went to the tour agency to pay up our trip to Cambodia.
5th.Aug.08.(Tue.) 0825hrs.
According to the old Chinese calendar, this is a ghost's month, in this month all the ghosts are let loose to roam around. This is true in China now because the ghosts are all over Beijing and they are white ghosts might you. They are everywhere in Beijing looking for the bad things to be high-lighted to the world. I really feel sory for them because they are really doing their up-most to do something to hurt people. When I look at them in the vedio film how defferent they are from my imaginery white men whom I thought are just, fair minded etc. They stoop so lowly to earn a living.
6th.Aug.08.(Wed.) 1755hrs.
I hope the Chinese govt. will uphold Chairman's thought and go on with the Olypics happily regardless whether the imperialists, colonialists and capitalists are coming or not. They are like old grumpy women babling all the way. They can smell where the dollars and cents are.
7th.Aug.08.(Thu.)
The Americans had played too many jokes to didgrace the Chinese. This time they flew in with masts on and then apolozised. As I had written earlier they slapped you and then apolozised with hazzy wordings and meanings. That is ok, it shows that they are not as civilised as they claimed to be. Chase them away if they try to be 'kurang hajah'. They cann't afford to show their battle ships at Chinese rivers mouths like in olden days with the slightest excuses.
8th.Aug.08.(Fri.) 1245hrs.
To-night at 2000hrs, the opening ceremony of the 29th. Olympic Games will begin in Beijing, the capital of Neww China. I am really lucky to see this day arrived at last, otherwise I would be a disappointed Chinese who died as a disgraced member of a disgraced race - Chinese. Ever since I was born I only know of a poor and backward China. I read about the Japanese invasion,I read about the unequal treaties imposed by the Western powers. The civil wars after the WW2 and finally the establishment of the New China. So, what would you like to describe my feeling, simply happy, proud of the occasion? I hope China is not going to end it here but to go on prospering to becaome a strong and rich country. To put the philosophies that were preached by the sages into practice to show the world that a country can be strong and yet peaceful towards the larger world.
9th.Aug.08.(Sat.) 1630hrs.
We watched the direct telecast of the opening of the 29th. Olympic Games by the RTM 1. It is really a disappointment because the telecast started at 2030hrs while the opening ceremony started at 2000hrs. So we missed the gist of the ceremony which showcased the culture of ancient China. I donn't really know whether this was done on purpose or by techincal problem. Theoretically the usual 2000hrs news can always be moved forward half an hour. It was another victory for the Chinese. All the predictions,hopes and wishes of destruction for the event had come to pass. Isn't it a victory for the Chinese. At this moment I learnt that the Chinses won a gold medal on woman weight lifting event while the Chez woman won a gold medal for shooting.
14th.Aug.08.(Thu.) 1810hrs.
Sad. I pressed the edit button instead of save page button, I lost what I had just written. I not only lost the last one but I also had lost what I had wrtten for the last few days. I think I will stop here until I gather my mood of writing again.
15th.Aug.08.(Fri.) 1115hrs.
I just started to surf the internet with the Yahoo web site and it showed a filmlet by CNN on the old part of Beijing saying that the govt. tried to hide it by builing a wall around it. If you know of old Beijing there was something call 'hutong'. That is a kind of houses built in the square form and they are due for demolition for new housing estate. So what wrong with it? So it promts my mind to write this down so that it won't slip off mind later on. What I think is this if what journalism is all about writting bad on other people like the cheapskate newspapermen from the CNN, BBC etc. then it must be a lousy profession. In this case they mention of the communist govt. but not the Chinese. Well, it is the CPC that make China as what it is today while the people in the so-called democratic countries in Asia are fed with democracy and freedom only while living in poverty.
20th.Aug.08.(Wed.) 2145hrs.
Came back from Cambodia for five days trip. It was an educational trip rather than holiday trip because from it I learnt a bit of the Cambodia's people, history and culture. Otherwise I know of Cambodia on hear'says only. The most unpleasant thing about the trip was too many beggars and children trying to sell all kinds of handy crafts. It was a pitiful sight. I wonder whether their national leaders realise the problems or not. If the answer is yes, I also wonder how can they sleep at night and how can they allow their smiling pictures being hung all over the two cities.
22th.Aug.08.(Fri.) 0855hrs.
It is a sunny morning. The sun is shining brightly and it tells us that the day will be a hot one. Got up as usual at 0500hrs inspite of being a school holiday. In theory I can get up at any time of the morning. I have made up my mind to get up early every morning and do my exercise and nap in the afternoons since I have all the time to do what I want. It is 1735hrs now,it is raining heavily. I had just finished surfing the internet. The British prime minister is now in Beijing to attend the Olympic Games closing ceremony on the 24th.Aug.08. He was critised for going there and his reply was that he is going there to raise the question of "Human Rights" to the Chinese leaders. "Human Rights, Freedon of Speech, Press Freedom and Democracy" is the normal "Coyok" of the Western leaders when going to China. ("Koyok" is a kind of smelly black medicinal stuff used to paste on the part of the body ache of old Chinese. Its effectiveness is of questionable nowadays.)
23th.Aug.08.(Sat.) 2335hrs.
Nothing special to write. Lip Wern, his mom. and the maid came at 1700hrs and left at 2830hrs. He behaved very well today and he is such a lovely boy. That is when he hehave himself.
24th.Aug.08.(Sun.)
At last the Olympic Games were successfully over and closed. I do not want to make any comments but one thing is certain the Chinese had the capability and ability to organise something like the Olympics. With the gold medals tally if is proof that the Chinese are no longer the sick men of Asia. The RTM2 once again disappointed the viewers with late starting and early finish.
27th.Aug.08.(Wed.) 0910hrs.
The Olympic had come to pass. The Chinese had accomplished another mission inspite of all kinds of criticisms. The next mission is the space exploration in Oct. followed by many exciting events like the expo in Shanghai in 2010 etc. Who care whether it is one party or multi-party rule as long as it brings peace,prosperity to the people and strength to the country. The morning is very pleasant. The sun is shining brightly after the rain last night. The air is cool and pleasant. Datuk Anwar, the ex-deputy prime minister who was jailed won the by-election in Penang. It is hoped that he would bring changes into the govt.(It is a long story to tell all in this short space.) The Russians have recognised the break away provinces of Georgia (S.Ossetia and Abkhazis) as independent states, that would keep the Americans and Europeans busy a bit, otherwise they are too free to mind other people's business.
28th.Aug.08.(Thu.) 0830hrs.
The rain prevented me from going to morning exercise in the park. Just dud the exercises at home for about one hour. At the moment it is gloomy and dark outside. The air is chilly. Mum bought two packets of nasi lemak'one for herself and one for me.
29th.Aug.08.(Fri.) 0740hrs.
Great news. The man who is preaching meditation for peaceful, happy life and positive thinking is rushed to hospital for adomen trouble. He is three years younger than I am, just 73yrs old. For me he is merely an agent for trouble makers of the Western powers. Wish him a speedy recovery.
30th.Aug.08.(Sat.) 2225hrs.
Today is Merdeka eve, the Budget was announced yesterday and it does not arouse any enthusiasm at large. The city is packed with vehicles. Other than that there is nothing to show it is special. We spent the morning in the Ue3 shopping complex for about three hours to brow through the Chinese antiques. We bought two more tea pots for our collection. Mum goes to a 80th. birthday dinner of her friend's mother at a restaurant in Bukit Bintang road. I drove her there and I came back home by bus because the whole presess of the dinner would easily take about three hours and I don't intend to wait there for so long.
31st.Aug.08.(Sun.)
Today is Merdeka day. Doing nothing special. Went to see an old member of GAO assn. who got a stroke with right side of the body paralysed. Had a one and a half hours of nab before going to the GAO assn. for Chinese tea. Stayed at home for the rest of the evening.
2nd.Sep.08.(Tue.) 1110hrs.
Yesterday was a holiday taking the place of Merdeka day holiday. Spent time with Lip Wern from about 11am. to 2pm. Had a nap, went to the Lake Garden for evening walk and ended up in the Dataran Merdeka and reached home at about 2030hrs. This morning learnt from the newspaper that a fast double track railway line from Beijing to Shangai will be ready for use in 2012. It will only take five hours to travel between the two cities. As usual, I wonder if I am lucky enough to live to enjoy the first ride. By that time I will be 80yrs old. I had been lucky to be still alive on the completion of the three gorge dam and the glorious conclusiong of the Beijing Olmpics. When their dates of completion were announced befor their commencement I was thinking that I woldn't be still living. In fact I promised to meet my son's family together in Beijing during the Olympic but somehow they backed out saying that Beijing would be to crowded during that time. One thing puzzle me is that till today the tour agencies are not druming up trips to the three gorge dam. I would love to see the big lake being formed in the middle of central hilly part of China.

When Mynmar(Burmur) was hit by typhoon and flooding,the democratic countries of the West were sending food stuff,rescue helicopters and their aid workers came running eargerly to give help knowing that the Military gov. of that country would hinder their pretentious goodwill and so they make a big huha over the matter. When Sichuan was rocked by earthquake, the Western reporters were swarminng in the spot hoping to see how the Chinese die and the 'kelang kabut'and very much disapointed to see that the relief effort of the Chinese govt. was in tip top efficiency. Therefore,NTR. Now, the largest democratic country in the world is suffering from flooding but I don't see any food supply, rescue helicopters, rescue boats from the democratic countries of the West are present in the spot. Why!?

There was nothing happening yesterday. In the morning part went to Cheras area round to get to know it better. The rain mared the trip. Stayed home for the rest of the day. The rain interupted the evening walk. Plan to drive round the nearby pool at about nine o'clock in the morning but mum was invited for a 'bak kut teh'. So I am waiting for her up to now (1035hrs).
