I shall write for the letter "I:" in real time event. Here, today, 10th April, 2013, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the country is getting ready for the 13th General Election that will be held on 5th of May, 2013. Meanwhile, Digi is wondering if the North Korean missiles could reached Malaysia. He is also worried about the Bird Flu in China. "Would my chicken be save to eat, mum?" "I guess so." I don't have better answer that he didn't already know or can search himself for answers. In the present Google era, mum is for seeking opinion and ancient family hand down unwritten knowledge, not for the academic ones. To make matters worse, last night we went to see "Dirt the Movie" with a group of friends. But then we had a great discussion on environment, and took note of each other's activities for further collaborative works.And if you have time, watching this One Man, One Cow, One Planet could get you inspired to be one of the guardians of our planet earth.

I'm also going to take this opportunity to thank our visitors, and more thank you for the thoughtful comments you left us. And to our new members we welcome you with our heart. We have a saying in Malay:
"Kecil tapak tangan
Nyiru saya tadahkan"
"If my hands were too small to hold the gratitude I feel
I'll hold up this nyiru instead, to accept your generosity."
