Today is my brother's bday... n the day that people's power returns Anwar to the parliament... These are some excerpts from blogs..
Unofficial - Anwar has won (Wong Chun Wai)
The word in Permatang Pauh is that Anwar Ibrahim is way ahead. Counting has started and so far, according to reporters and workers, Anwar is already on the way to victory. The official result is likely to be made only at around 10pm but for many, it is a foregone conclusion and the majority likely to be big. The results would be a watershed because it means the return of Anwar to Parliament. It is history in the making tonight. The press has been informed that Anwar would be declaring his victory at 7.45pm.

Muzium trip
We went to the museum last Sunday. I think I last set foot at the National Museum in 1992. Many things have changed since then. There are now different sections of the museum - however, it was quite disappointing that the first level was closed as it was undergoing renovation.
At the second level, there were the colonial era and the modern era sections. Nowadays, there are many films being shown. Halfway through, our camera ran out of batteries. Hampeh! Then I bought batteries at the souvenir shop, and met this Mat Saleh couple who seemed to fancy our darling beauty, Aisyah - and to think that I forgot to take their photo! Gosh!
Anyway, we then continued to the adjacent building, where the Muzium Alam Melayu and Muzium Kraftangan were housed. Quite interesting, but there weren't that much stuff there.
Well, Rm4 well spent! (We spent more for the batteries and tidbits at the cafe!)

Venus vs Mars
Well, here's a take from what them guys 'think'... (did a man really cook this up? hmm...)
Adila aka Mama Dila (she's in Tanah Merah, K'tan) sent me this a few weeks back.
The Man Rules
Finally, the guys' side of the story. We always hear 'the rules' from the female side. Here are their p-o-v.
These are our rules!
Please note. These are all numbered '1 ' ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports It's like the full MOON OR the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want it done. Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A colour.
Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football or golf.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Secrets of life
This is from a forwarded email I got from Sharmini in Melaka.
I love you too, Mini!
The secret of life is to make the best of whatever comes along,
Make every day fresh and new,
Go in search of knowledge and experience.
Let your questions and your answers reconcile.
Do your best to remember that
the best kind of learning curve is an educated smile.
Share your magic with the people who share your memories.
Let your feelings run deep.
Be in touch with the people who live in your heart.
Be a caring person who plays for keeps.
To really know what success means, earn it.
Don't rely on some elevator to get you there.
The higher the floor you want to reach,
the more important it is to take the stairs.
The easiest lessons to remember are the ones you learn the hard way!
Appreciate the little thingsthat make each day unique and special.
