Well, Barack Obama was elected US’s first black president on Tuesday night. Congratulation!
Don’t forget this 44th US president is a son of a black father from Kenya, who I think surely was an immigrant to the US back then. Now the US people have overcame racial barriers in electing their president, I’m wondering when will this happen to Malaysia too.
Will Malaysian make the same history one day? I hope so…

After such a long wait, Apple third-generation iPhone 3G will be officially sold in Singapore on 22 August, 2008! Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) announced this much awaited news on Tuesday.
Both the 8GB and 16GB versions of iPhone will be available. Similar to how iPhone was first introduced in Hong Kong, SingTel will accept online reservation until Aug 17. iPhone will then hot the shelve of all SingTel stores throughout Singapore on 22 August. No price tag is set for the phone yet though.
Anyway, cheers Singaporean!
Well, I know some shops in Malaysia have already been selling unlocked iPhone since early this year but the question now is when are we going to see iPhone officially launched here in Malaysia?
I’ve just upgrade my Opera web browser. What about you? In fact, Opera 9.5 was released on June 12, 2008, a few days before the release of Firefox 3.
Within the first 5 days of this new version available, Opera 9.5 has received more than 4.7 million downloads. Pretty impressive I would say, but it’s just about half of the download total Firefox 3 received in 1 single day! The total download for Firefox is now surpassing 11 millions downloads worldwide.
Firefox is always my preferred web browser to Internet Explorer (IE) and I’ve been using Firefox for more than 4 years already. Today Mozilla, the developer of Firefox, has released the long awaiting Firefox 3.0!
without a doubt, I immediately grabbed a fresh copy of Firefox 3.0, installed it, and is already using it now. I’m so glad Firefox has reached another milestone by releasing this latest version with more than 15,000 application bugs fixed, enhanced security, faster browsing speed and better browsing experience. More new features are :-
- Password Manager
- One-Click Bookmarking
- Instant Web Site ID
- Full Zoom
- Smart Location Bar
Received an email from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) at noon today and I thought I should blog about it immediately before the habit of procrastinating in blogging hits me again. When it comes to spreading love to the world, I should not procrastinate at all!
This 20th June is World Refugee Day and in conjunction with it, UNHCR Malaysia wish to encourage people to understand more about refugees in our country. Refugees are different from migrants, refugees do not choose to leave their country, they do not have a choice but to do so because of difficult living conditions in their home land. We currently have over 39,000 refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia.
A 90-second video clip named “Hands of Hope” was produced in Malaysia pro bono for UNHCR by the advertising agency EURO RSCG KL. Check it out :-
