From Wikipedia:-

Excluding the 19 hijackers, 2,974 people died in the attacks. Another 24 are missing and presumed dead. The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including nationals of over 90 different countries.

Today is the 7th year of the September 11….may the soul of those who perish in the tragedy rest in peace and may those who continue with their act of terror is made to pay their price for such tragedy.

The Joke on the Ban

(Who is the real joker now? Image source: http://z.about.com)

Ya, the Cabinet “instructed” MCMC to lift the ban on Malaysia Today..

But it happened after the earlier ban made the Government and MCMC a laughing stock. They ended up looking like a fool because the “ban” made almost no impact on RPK and his hard-hitting posts (mirror sites were up before anyone in the Goernment / MCMC could say S-H-I-T!). A fool because the Government rescinded its promise on the Bill of Guarantee when no censorship of the internet is guaranteed.

Will anyone trust these people again? Meantime, RPK rides on…

The CD Master

(The “CD Master” taking a dip in the pool)

One good sign of my son growing up – he gets to choose what song being played out on the car’s CD player.

When we are in the car, he sits at the back, my wife sits in the front (this is going to change soon) but he always make sure that the CD bag is placed at the back for him to choose the CD. Immediately after I had started the car, a small hand will stretch out from the back, handing over a CD.

And if we failed to notice this or failed to put the CD into the player, we are going to get “scolding” from the big boss at the back, so we usually adhere to this with it without much delay.

There is no preference on the kind of CD that my son likes – it can be an oldie from the 50’s & 60’s or the latest from AR Rahman and others.

My son judges the CD by its cover, period!

And the thing is, he will listen to every song in the CD – if we are bored and had pressed the “next” button, please do expect another round of “scolding” with his trademark statement “Hey, I was listening to that” – it only stops when we had pressed the “previous” to bring back the song that we skipped.
