Ok. Just a short note here. I am back and here is my first 2014 blog - Had really yummy delicious fish head noodle last night and I just have to share it. Win Soon Cafe located in 23, SS2/67, Petaling Jaya 47300, Selangor, Malaysia. The fish head mee hoon with milk went above my expectation. Specially requested for only fish head parts and they were fried to perfection - crispy and crunchy that even the bones were edible. The sambal belacan chilli looked watery but the taste of belacan was strong and yummy and it did not dissapoint. I highly recommend giving this cafe a try if you love your fish head noodle and am fussy like me!

A Bersih 3.0 video by DAP - I am posting it because even if DAP is a political party in Malaysia, I see the video as something informative revealing the truth with no political issues in which, ALL political parties in Malaysia must take note to the fact that BERSIH is a NGO that only wants fair and clean election  for MALAYSIA! Salute to Ms Ambiga for leading BERSIH and making Malaysians care!

Most Malaysian citizens are probably looking forward to the GE13 to vote and make a difference. With Bersih trying to clean up the election acts and loads of independent such as Tindak Malaysia, Jom Pantau PRU13 - KOMAS, MAFREL, NIEI coming in to educate and monitor, we are hoping the rakyat of Malaysia will know what they can and cannot do during the election day. One of the GE13 Voting Tips, which I posted in May - (Tip 2) is now updated as follows (refer Tindak Malaysia ): 1.

Let them go to court to challenge the Presiding Officer's decision." What is the strategy behind this? 1. To infli...

I went to Jom Pantau on 26th May, Saturday to see if I could learn more about how elections are run in Malaysia, and maybe volunteer as an observer of election happenings. As far as I know, Jom Pantau is a non political organization that observes elections and educates the people of their voting rights so that real democracy continues to exist. It was certainly an informative day as 4 presentations were given on different topics in relation to elections by different speakers from various organizations. The most important points that I got out of the workshop are our rights to vote and how we may protect our votes. So I am going to share them with you here in hope that our votes are protected and counted successfully. At present: Register to be a voter, or if you are already registered, check your voter status and confirm you are registered. You may do so by two ways: (i) Online: http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/NEWDAFTARJ/ - Print a copy of your confirmation slip and safekeep the slip....
