Ama won't be celebrating Christmas with us this year, at least not in person. For some, it has been a year to forget, for others the year went by too fast for recollection. Whatever 2008 held or still has for us, it is now the season to be thankful for God's love to us and remember the purpose of it all...
For this, I recommend Rick Warren's (author of A Purpose Driven Life) latest penned offering, The Purpose of Christmas. It's a warm reminder that all is not so bad and not to forget that the author, creator of life has set his heart on us.

Power Watch: Alternates
It's really about time, and while some say it's never to late, I wonder if it is already so. The beginning of the end of the world as we see it anyway.
I am going to add alternative energy as a key theme in my blog going into 2009/10 and hope to uncover some ideas to move from bio-fuels...

Stupid Me, I guess
I simply cannot begin to comprehend the new Finance Minister's take of the economy. Guess I really must be intellectually challenged...
Afterall, spending RM 2.3 billion on helicopters and RM 5 billion of our private savings in buying cheap stocks should make sense - so I am told. But stupid me keeps harping on the fact that treating the inflationary factors make more sense. Somehow I keep dwelling on the higher costs of living as if it has anything to do with the economy. And I guess I should screw public confidence because it's really the few thousand or so delegates that carry the country on their able shoulders.
Malaysia, it is said, is shielded from the effects of the US credit issues and will be able to deal with the global slowdown with minimal damaged. Somehow my negative mind tells me that Malaysia is part of a global trading hub of nations... stupid me. You see - I am told that at the end of the day, we are so self-reliant that our people are able to absorb the reduced international demands for air-conditioners, microchips and processed food with ease.
Gosh! I feel so inadequate, it is embarrassing to even blog about it...
