Happy Weekend and Gong Xi Fa Chai to All Malaysians
Last Sunday (January 23), Dr. Kamsiah and I had a few friends including Tean Rean, our Thai kerbau rider from Bakar Bata, Alor Setar, my cousin Dr. Yaccob and his wife Dato Tunku Sofiah Tunku Mohamed Jewa, and an avid Facebooker who goes by the initials HAK at our home in Damansara Jaya for a simple makan. Also present was singing heartrob, Nurul Wahab.
We were particularly delighted to have Kamsiahs lovely daughter Elia and her son, Elyas, at this function, making the occasion a n even more memorable and meaningful one.
At our karaoke session, Nurul sang a Whitney Houstons I Will Always Love You from her movie featuring Kevin Kosner, The Bodyguard. So we thought we should introduce to you all, followed by Whitney. I will also bring back Frank Sinatra rendering Fly Me To the Moon which I sang that night. Also featured this weekend are Nat King Cole, Vic Damone, Al Martino and Jerry Vale.
It was an enjoyable evening. We recounted good times and for once politics, strange as it may seem to some of you, was not on! the tab le for discussion. What a welcome relief that was, given the state of politics in Malaysia.
Two tension filled and expectations high by-elections, one in Johore and the other in Malacca, will be held soon. The mainstream and the blogger groups are active doing their thing, while mighty UMNO-BN political machine will hard at work. There will be plenty of political promises for voters to entice their votes. Let us hope that the elections will be peaceful and orderly and clean as it is possible in our country.
Let us enjoy this weeks election and look forward to Chinese New Year in The Year of the Rabbit. We take this opportunity to wish all Malaysians who celebrate the coming of the Rabbit Year. Gong Xi Fa Cai to all near and far. As usual, we always hope for a good, prosperous and peaceful 2011.Dr. Kamsiah and Din Merican
