Quick updates
Exams are over! woop woop!
Michael F left for Europe today and we won't be seeing him again for the next 5 weeks. Michael W and Janice are still studying because they are still having exams... sucks. The flat went for the All Blacks test match which was awesome. No prizes as to guessing who won.
The flat's pretty excited about the Louis Vuitton/America's Cup. Team New Zealand is going up against Alinghi - and we're hoping to bring the cup back from Spain. Cross your fingers for good wind!

Doing my bit for CLS

I've always wished for that lightbulb moment where everything in my life is as clear as day; where life is either black or white, not shades of grey.
Janice made a nice roast chicken for dinner. And then the flat played charades. I think the older we get the more childish we can be. Of course, growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional. It...
We're on the American public radio!
Ok, so it's been a while since I last contributed, but the Cicak have launched so high into the stratosphere I was quite astounded when I was informed that we're being aired on the American public radio.
Yes, in this day and age of free speech, Malaysians have been continuously suppressed by governmental censorship, but the question remains: how long is it going to take before the lid blows?
Click here for the full interview on World Press Day. Kathy Corcoran, former writer of the San Jose Mercury News staff writer interviews Pohsi on free speech in Malaysia.
Pretty stoked.
