3 Malaysian Blogs
I visited 3 Malaysian blogs, my comments are as stated below:
http://krisez.blogspot.com
This blog is owned by a fifty-year old who is learning to blog. He talks about his work, his friends and his everyday life. He has been blogging since 2003. It is quite interesting reading the articles in his blogs. Some of the blogs are funny. There is an article where he talks about his spoiled washing machine and dirty underwears. Other than that, there are also links to other blogs, mostly blogs of his friends. His blog is visited by quite a number of people. Kri (the author) wrote about the tsunami too. Overall, his blog is sort of his personal diary. I find it interesting to read his blog. The one thing that s missing is pictures. If he can post some pictures, it would be nice.
http://apapunboleh.blogspot.com/
If my guess is correct, the author of this blog is a female. The blog is also much of a personal diary. The author just started this blog one month ago. Although there is only a few posts in her blog, but I think she is someone who is concerne don the rape issue. Two articles posted where relating to two new ways of raping, well at least that's what she claims to be. But, I think it is still useful for girls and women out there to know about it and stay aware. The features of the blog is very simple, there is no pictures in the blog. I find it quite boring to read this blog.

Well, I like this blog quite a lot. The author tells quite a lot about herself. Another reason I think I find her blog quite attractive is that she talks about school life, something which I'm familiar with. She also has links to her friends journals and blogs, so it is convenient to know more about her through browsing through her friends' journals and blogs. Her writing is interesting to read, the style of writing does not bore me, but posting pictures in her blog will surely liven things up.

Another Indonesian Confrontation?
Beware! Sabahans. Militiamen might be battling their way up the shores of East Coast Sabah. This news spread out after two Muslim countries, Malaysia and Indonesia had dispute over Ambalat island. There were news stating that militiamen are being trained martial arts in several Indonesian provinces.
Indonesians (especially young adults and university students) took themselves to the street for the dispute. I believe there is some problems with the diplomatic commuicating between the two countries. This may not cause a straight-forward effect, but it nay bring long term damage to Malaysia's relation with Indonesia. The fact that there are oilbeds under the sea around Ambalat shouldn't be used to raise sensitive issues.
The confrontation back in the 60's showed us that there will be no benifits fo both parties if both take strong actions against each other. Malaysia and Indonesia should be sitting together and try to solve the problem with the most efficient way.

Although Arsenal's top marksman is out of the match, but Reyes is gaining form recently and antoher option for Wenger, Reyes' young strike partner, Robin van Persie has been scoring in the Reserves team. If Wenger wants a controlling game upfront, then experienced Dutchman, Dennis Bergkamp is also a good choice with his well-timed passes.

More on Iraq...
US Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld has urged Iraq's new line of leaders to hasten democratic transition to avoid delay. Here is a part of what he said on the matter:
"We are pleased to see what has taken place and certainly wish them well in their further considerations of the development of this important Iraqi transition government,"
Well, well... Seems like the Americans are waking up a bit after the enormous military spending on the Iraqi occupation. Lets hope Dear Mr. Rumsfeld is really sincere this time. Other than that, Iraqis should stand together and put up the maximum effort in rebuilding and stablelizing Iraq's economy and politics.

U.S Retreat
Iraqi President, Jalal Talabani has stated that he expects US troops to retreat out of Iraq in two years time:
"I think within two years, we can do it, and at the same time, we will remain in full consultation and coordination, cooperation with our American friends," he said.
Well, good news at last. Yet, ain't it a little bit late? I mean two years can be short for some people, but i fit wasn't for America's hanky-panky style of dealing with Iraqi issues and the postponement of the election, Iraq would have be free of American soldiers by now.

Liberated?
April 9, 2003 was the day when former Iraqi strongman --
Saddam Hussein's statue at Firdos Square in central Baghdad was pulled down by US troops and truimphant Iraqis. However, there was a big contrast of atmosphere when thousands of Iraqis crowded at the Square to
protest the occupation of American troops.
"Tens of thousands of Iraqis marked the second anniversary of the fall of Saddam Hussein by marching in the capital Saturday to demand the withdrawal of U.S. forces. "
One of the main chants of protesters in yesterday morning was "No America, no Saddam! Yes to Islam!". It is very obvious that Iraqi citizens are unsatisfied with the prolonged stay of American troops in their country. According to a university student who took part in the demonstration, Iraq is capable of protecting its security and peace. Hence it is time for the occupiers (Americans) to leave.
In my opinion, America should retreat their troops immediately, or at least gradually to enable the new Iraqi government to have more idependence in governing Iraq. On the other hand, this action will also boost the confidence of Iraqis given to their
democatric-elected government.
"The National Assembly broke new ground by electing Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, the first non-Arab president of a predominantly Arab country. Talabani and two vice presidents, Sheik Ghazi al-Yawar (Sunni president of the interim government) and Abdel Abdul Mahdi, a leading Shiite politician, were sworn in Thursday. Talabani named Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a religious Shiite, prime minister, the key position in the new government."
I believe if given time, the new president,

The Royal Wedding
It was Prince Charles' second wedding and it seems that he will be living happily ever after with Camilla Parker Bowles after all. The couple's wedding was held at Windsor Castle. Here is a little review on the wedding:
Guests are being served more than 16,900 canapes, as well as portions of the specially-chosen double-boiled Welsh fruit cake – a particular favourite of Charles’s – made by grandmother Etta Richardson.
I hope Prince Charles and Camilla will lead a prosperous and harmonous life after they both had failure in their previous marriage.

News on Arsenal

Arsenal may welcome back Gilberto Silva for their Premiership match against Norwich City.
Quote from soccernet.com:
"Gilberto is ready to return to the Arsenal side for the first time since being sidelined in mid-September with a fractured vertebrae.
Manager Arsene Wenger will make a final decision on Gilberto this morning but said: 'Gilberto has had those games in the reserves and maybe he will play.' "
I think it's good news for the Arsenal team. Silva's return will help strengthen the midfield of Arsenal. I hope Arsenal will score a couple of goals and win the match to pressure 2nd placed Man United.
For more pictures of Silva, please visit http://www.eclient.empics.com/start.php?uN=arsenal&mN=home&pN=firstPage .
Brazil Drew With Uruguay


World Cup Champions, Brazil was had to rely on Emerson's goal to settle for a draw with Uruguay in their World Cup Qualifier's match.
Brazil took a precious point from Montevideo as they came from behind to draw 1-1 with neighbours Uruguay in a bruising, full-blooded World Cup qualifier on Wednesday.
I"m quite dissappointed with the score because I'm a fan of Brazil. I hope they will have better performance in the future.
