Lamborgini cars
How often do I see a Lamborgini car on the road?Once in a blue moon.But today,I have more than six Lamborgini cars overtook me as I travelled from JB to KL.I only heard zup,zup, zup..
My good luck was with me today,when I stopped for coffee at R&R Air Keroh,all of them were having a rest.That is how I managed to snap this photo and took a good look at these million ringgit cars.

Book: The choice
Life is a journey where the road we travel has a few junctions along the way.Some are minor junctions but a few are major ones (like Spaghetti Junction in Birmingham) that can greatly affect what is coming before we are going to meet another junction or a flyover.At each junction or intersection, we are faced with choice to select only one route.Once the decision is made, we continue our journey and we all shall own the consequences of that decision.
My first major choice to study at my kampung or to go to a boarding school after my std 6.Then, I have to make a choice to change school when I was in form 3(LCE)-to remain in SDAR or to move to TIKL.After my MCE(O Level), most of my friends went to Technical College and I chose to do my HSC(A Level).Later I chose to study at Sheffield University and not at other university.Upon graduation,I have to choose to work in JKR or DID.And later,I had to choose my bride...
And the list go on....until I die. Life is full of choices and a few times, we may not make the right choices.Even after we made a choice, we don't even know whether we made the right choice.The element of uncertainty is inherent in all decision makings.
I saw this book The Choice written by my favourite author Mr Nicholas
Spark.The title prompted me to write the short note above about
choice.It is not similar to solving linear algebraic equations where
there are uniques solution to each problem.Every decision is a risk.
My
first encounter with Nicholas Sparks when I bought his book called The
Notebook.When I finished reading it, my wife took a little longer time
to read it because she had to stop a few times when she needed some
extra time to wipe the tears that keep flowing down her cheeks.To cut
the long story short, both of us are fans of Nicholas Sparks.
This book is a present for my wife.Currently,I am still reading The Last lecture.Have a good weekend everyone.

Previous blogs
Many,many years ago I set up a few blogs for each of my interests like reading,PalmOS PDA,etc.When I discovered vox a few years ago,I think this blog will be used for all my hobbies.IMHO,vox is easier to use than other blogging softwares.
Last weekend, I read some of my postings which were written more than five years ago.It was just like travelling back in time and revisited my thoughts and feelings then...Not to mention,when I re-read what I wrote years ago, I began to know myself better.
This is one of the beauties of keeping a journal-either online or off-line.

Book: The Last Lecture
While at the bookshop this afternoon,I browsed this book and read Lecture #20.The author wrote that he only discovered of his dad's Bronze Star Award for Valor during WW11 only after his death in 1996.How could a man remained silent for 50 years and not telling his kids of his achievement?
I was touched when Prof Randy Pausch wrote about the meaning of sacrifice and the power of humility. This is one book that I want all my kids to read.
