An example would be the ongoing conflict between the radical Islamics and most of the world. The radical Islamics felt that they were not accorded the respect and status they deserved and were always worrying among themselves that Islam will be taken over by the other religions or countries. They felt that the Gulf War was a very good example and thus, they decided to strike the first blow by crashing a plane into America’s World Trade Centre, known also as the Twin Towers, and the Pentagon. This triggered off a furious response by the Americans who sent troops into the Middle East to try and capture those responsible for the attacks and to disarm countries that they believed possessed weapons of mass destruction.


Hello - someone save me? While I have some remarkable good essays that I so enjoy reading, once in a while I get gems like those above, and these as well:


To be readily prepared, it is always best to prepare for the worst which is why people are having a pessimistic outlook for the future as they do not dare to be too optimistic and hopeful.


Still marking, still marking.

Indeed. My cubicle misses me, I can feel it.

Lots and lots of work and challenges await me this year. Fearful, I am. Excited, I am, as well.

And the cherry in the icing? Eason Chan getting 5 awards in the 2007 CRHK Chik Chak 903 Music Awards. Who needs silly ceremonies like Jade Solid Gold?

But seriously, it has been a fantastic holiday - Ipoh, KL, Sg, HK and ending the year with a bang (literally, in KL, and in Sg, with the fireworks).

My classes seem nice thus far. And I am beginning to convince myself that it is me taking the A levels 74 times this November

Now it is back to work. Back to the grind. Back to the routine.
