It is already pass eleven on Saturday night, we just went to a Wedding dinner at the local club house.... It was held at the poolside, with the weather fine, it was fun to be there and enjoying the dinner with friends.... As usual with Malay Wedding, it was a glittering affair, with all the pomp and splendor that are associated only with a typical Malay wedding.... the were the usual 'bunga magga' and the 'bersanding' ceremony....., well.... another wedding of a young couple that met while they were studying overseas.... Malaysian seem to be doing many things nowadays that are unheard of during the time of their parents, like my generation.... This youth nowadays would gather for a trip in Europe and then meet again in another continent..... distance does seem to bother them anymore now.... Jump into an airplane and voila!! You would be in Paris then London or New York..... It look so easy to those young Malaysian nowadays, with good academic qualification and good jobs they all are able to travel anywhere at anytime..... A generation ago.... going overseas is only for the rich and then only on special occasion.... Me.... I was one of those lucky guy that had the opportunity to travel the world on official business. By the time I retired I had travel to many countries all over the world and it soon became a sort of itch or wanting to travel all the time..... So after I retired, together with my wife we start to go on holiday overseas..... And we have not stop doing that since then.... We love to travel..... including locally... We enjoy all those visits..... What a blessed country we have.... Great places to travel all the time.... It is interesting to note what science and technology has done to the mode of traveling.... Since the invention of the Wheel.... We human has quantum leap to Jet travel in a space of a short period of time..... in less then fifty years, starting from the propeller plane that could only travel a short distance and had to stop for refueling to Now where one could travel non stop from a point in Asia to a point in the states..... It is a reality that now you could fly from Singapore to LA is just sixteen hours non stop...... With the concord, which has since stop operation, traveling from Kuala Lumpur to London was just seven hours..... With the time difference is only seven hours, one could have two breakfast on a single day.... Anyway with the disband of the concord, now the fastest way to get from Kuala Lumpur to New York is via Dubai, a refueling stop.... in just twenty two hours you are in New York.... but with the latest planes the time is getting shorter.... It would not be a surprise that we could get from Kuala Lumpur to New York in just twelve hours sometime in the future..... A friend in the UK close his house during the winter and spend his time in the tropic especially Malaysia.... He love doing this and of course it cost him less and as well keep him healthy...... All this were made possible because of the way our transport mode has progress... It is indeed an achievement to humankind..... Now with the internet we could communicate faster to get information and contact close one and friends in mere instance.... And the cyberspace has given us another dimension to wonder and see things in faraway places without leaving your home..... An image taken of recent events could be seen all over the globe in mere instance once posted in the internet.... and happiness could be share with all irrespective of distance, unlike before where images had to be send by post and it would takes days before it arrived.... Well that is what technology has done to us human.... A great achievement indeed and personally I am enjoying it..... So Alex.. my friend..... How are you doing with the Blogging or are you still having problem with your computer or the internet service..... since my last mail to you, I have not got any news of what happen at your end...... or has the email became snailmail again!!!! Ha!Ha!, You are smiling reading this, well at least I make you smile this morning..... It nice to see a smiling face.... It cost nothing to smile but it give million to others for a smile, for smile could never be bought..... It is a great Sunday morning and the weather is great.... I am not that sure what to do this beautiful day... Maybe just sit at home and do some gardening or read a good book or may be I would visit the nearest book store to get a new book...... Anything could happen on Sunday..... A day of rest of the world........ And enjoy...... Friends..... Have a nice day.... And take care.....
