The Pow Wow in the South of Heaven

I do not even allow my son to watch people playing snooker or billiard what more to play those develish nonsensical game. I played those games once and I was scarred for life. Well, i admit there were some other mitigating circumstances surrounding the scaring of my soul and skin and some dents on my helmet and motorbike but at the epicentre was snooker... snook..er.

It was a dark but not so lonely afternoon. I was about to do something important when my unholly mates woke me up. Then, the plot thickens...

Always the Good ol Days

Debate

In the ol days, I or teams with my style of speaking could easily win debates with a good albeit stretched definition of sorts. Through in language context when economy is expected and 9 out of 10 you will win.

Rugby

The good ol days, wait a minute, there have not really benn changes to the game in malaysia except that some of the younger blokes would play spotting ala Beckham hairstyle and UPM is not up there anymore. No real changes except the fact that I am actually considred a first choice at 40.

Work
Better now actually so the good ol days are only good for memory's sake as though they were good, people of imporatance seem not to have thought so. Now, well, people just pay me more and I like that a lot, in fact I like it very very much and also my wife, kids, mothers and the mamak shops owners ...

The Teacher

"A teacher affects eternity. He can never tell where his influence stops."

~ Henry Adams (1838-1918)

Take them all under your wings and help them fly, but you first must be a flier.

Relationship studies

Attempts to grammaticalize relationship must
be seen as the concretization of intellectual categories, a process which is essentially trying to fit certain phonemena into whatever is relevant in our mind or from our background knowledge. This is not to say, however, that relationship analysis is not, or should not be, an analytical and structural pursuit but simply believing that it has too many varibales influcing it that have been around since the dawn of time. If one takes the position that
relationship is concerned with the quantitative understanding of how human beings process
and use relationship data, then it most certainly is. This does not have to mean, however,
that everything that can be said about relationship must relatable to observable,
phenomena that can be digested like an engineering manual.
