Recently I read this remarkable article entitled, Ten Ways Social Media Changed Our Thinking in 2009. It’s brilliant to me, as someone who is not as intelligent as you (of course), because it’s somewhat of an analysis of what’s beyoud a few milestons that took place in 2009. The concept behind it and not the incident.
Enlighten yourself. Go on now.

Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. So study hard and be evil.

Two of the organisers for this Saturday. This pic, was taken at the Merdeka Train Party organised by RandomAlphabets.com, where they too were the organisers.

After first agreeing to be a speaker, then having to pull out, then less than an hour later, I was back in.
This Saturday I will be the moderator for the PR Colloquium 2009 ‘Public Relations Colloquium 2009- The Role of Public Relations in Promoting Youth Activism’. It is organized by the final year students of Bachelor of Mass Communication (Hons.)

Stephen Fry, hosts QI (Quite Interesting), where questions posed to four personalities are often so difficult they almost never get the answer and the points don’t matter.
As a part-time job, I started tutoring secondary school students since 2003 and I suspect this year will be my last as I am often not kind to them for the lack of my blunt tongue. Often I am asked a question by a student about the relevance of a particular matter they are learning.
Below, is a response most apt by Fry.

It is common, for contacts to comment on a, serious or non-serious, provoking ’status update’, link, video etc, on Facebook.
I am disappointed at the lack of response that I received from the video I had just posted, followed by my commentary of it. The silence is, ironically, almost in direct relation to what the video was about.
That said, giving the benefit of doubt, I hope that their omission is not a reflection of their interest, care and concern regarding a matter and issue (I feel) so significant to all of us.
Below is the video, followed by my commentary.
The title I think is inaccurate. It relates a little more on the Brain Drain, among other things.
For some years now, I’ve had the same sentiment regarding Malaysia, Singapore, Indo, Mid East, and just the East really.
This is why it is important to have a healthy democracy. A judiciary that the people are confident in. Because everytime a fellow citizen is not enjoying his country, not trusting the system, he will want to leave.
And more often than not, the talented ones, who have the opportunity to leave, will leave. Human resource are more valuable than other resources (like oil). When you don’t have or run out of natural resources, you will need human resource. That need is imperative, continuous, perpetual. Never out of demand, never limited from growth.
If you don’t fight, make effort for a better place, wherever you are, capable and competent people, citizens, strangers around you leave.
That is a loss. Your loss. Those around you. Those after you.
