Would like to wish one and all a very Happy Chinese New Year. Xin Nian Kuai Le (or in Cantonese: Sun Nin Fai Lok). Wishing you a safe and prosperous year ahead. Â Wow, it’s the year of the rat this year!
Tonight Channel 10 (http://www.ten.com.au) in Australia aired the documentary Super Size Me (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Size_Me) . The documentary raises in my view, one important issue.

Yesterday night I went to the MCG with my brother (who was a Games Volunteer) and we watched the Commonwealth Games. I can say now that it was perhaps better being there than actually watching it on tv. Actually, it was a different perspective.

This will be my first presentation at the user group and my first proper [...]
Was just counting the dates on the calendar an hour or so ago and realised something. It’s been almost 49 days since my friend Sam Ly passed away in London. Why have I mentioned 49 days, and why is it so significant? The traditional Buddhist funeral ceremony goes on for an entire 7 weeks. That’s [...]
