So you want to be an author...then you have to read well!

No problem, my friend - because reading and buying books come naturally to me. And now that I wanna be the best blogger that I can be , thus, the need to keep abreast with today's happening is no doubt a necessity.

Hahaha...get outta here (I can't even write a complete sentence without spelling and grammar checker, well... I am better these days)!


I was thinking of buying John Irving's stuff, but not this time!

I end up buying these 2 books.

And these magazines too!

Are you good at spotting your own mistakes, character flaws and other blemishes...?

If you are good at knowing your own weaknesses, then you are okay, otherwise like many of us we need friends, colleagues, family members to tell us of our shortcomings.

You hate it and I hate them too, but recently I feel more indebted to the fault-finders - teachers, friends and colleagues who has the gut and compassion to tell me that I am wrong and most of all show me the correct way of doing things!

And often times too the most direct and valuable rebuke comes from someone who is not part of your circle of loved ones, this is what struck me the most!

Therefore, I confirm the validity that God can use anyone or any situation to correct us, friends and enemies alike!

Have you ever asked yourself these questions...?

1) Why am I born as an Iban or Jewish or Catholic or Hindhu?

2) Why do I end up doing this and that, as supposed to...?

Well clearly there are things that you can change but there also things that you cannot alter, and figuring out which one belong to which categories is crucial, and you need to do it early and stick to that conviction!

So that time, money and effort will be spent on items that can be changed and improved -for your very own sake!

I went to visit my good old buddy..Mr. P in Rome last month!

I am impressed by the richness of the great roman empire heritage - the ancient structures and buildings. And I did go to visit the Pope, hahah...he was busy so I decided not to bother him. Personally I find the Italian people are quite friendly and along the way I learned a few Italian words -hmm... well may be not and I already forgot, and... Rome...I will be back!

Pulai Tiap Gawai!

Hmm...I can't explain why almost every Iban I know, feel the need to go back to their roots almost religiously every Gawai season.

Well maybe, that's why I am - an Iban, i.e it is an innate call/instinct whatever you want to call it. So what's your point? Well I just said it, the fact I am Iban makes me wanna go back to my hometown in Sarawak comes Gawai Celebration!

Haha...I told you this blog is just about 'lansa leman ati', nothing profound!

Journey through the Educational Wilderness!

Leeds University

Columbia University - 90-94

My Alma Mater(s)!

I love going to school, believe or not, but I hate doing homework, eventhough I don't mind taking exams...hahaha...yeah right!

Challenges in life!

The so-called successful people in life are characterized by those who continually take up challenges that will set them on a higher elevation in career, education or you-name-it grounds . Btw, I do not consider myself successful by any means! No way.

I personally( I had to admit) as much as possible avoid hardship/challenges, BUT what drive me to go move a tad higher - is the hatred to do the same thing day in and day out. So what's the point- you ask?

Well the point is whether you like or not challenges are there and choosing your next hurdle is very important!
