Teresa Kok is freed - God is good!

Finally - Teresa Kok is freed. I'm so happy for her. God has certainly heard the prayers of the saints. Now, those who detained her should be detained for a week but will they? Back to the question: who is responsible for her detention? What wrong has she committed to deserve this? Only they know... and God too.

another interesting post by RPK

You, my readers, know that I'm not into politics though I do ramble every now and then on my frustrations and complaints. Well, I know a fair lot of my readers are from Malaysia so if you are a local and are following closely on the political circus that had happened recently. You may find this an interesting read. Title of the post by the outspoken and explicit author Raja Petra Kamarudin: Doctor on the run: police want him to fabricate evidence against Anwar.

predictions of future calamities?

Last Friday, someone circulated an email of a series of predictions by this guy by the name of Mr. Juseleeno, born in 1960(reportedly still alive in 2008). Juseleeno is a Brazilian who has made many predictions, and MOST have come to pass, including Princess Diana's death by car accident (which is instigated by someone near her and will probably unfortunately be written off as a car accident), 911 and the 2004 Indonesian tsunami. He sees the future in his dreams, and has an average of 3 to 9 such predictions per day. When he wakes up, he will write them down, and send warnings to those concerned.

If it concerns only a normal individual, he will write a letter to warn him/her.
If it is a famous person(celebrity, politician etc.), or matters concerning the public, he will not only send it to the individual himself/herself, but also related agencies, government, and media. He urged the media to publicise these predictions, but the reply always went along the lines of rejection for fear of arousing public panic.

Well, here are some of the future predictions:
2008, July: There will be an earthquake in Japan, which will cause a tsunami of 30 plus metres high to occur as well.

2008, 18th September: An earthquake with magnitude of approximately 9.1 will rock China , simultaneously causing a tsunami of more than 30 metres to occur, resulting in the deaths of more than 1 million people.

Although this huge earthquake will happen after the Olympics have ended, there will be a series of relatively smaller earthquakes occurring in China before the huge earthquake. The China government, which is more concerned with the success of the Olympics, will most likely neglect to employ appropriate cautionary measures, thus the high casualty rate. If the China government does not publicise the occurrence of these minor earthquakes and evacuate people, the number of deaths will be as predicted.

2008, 17th December: terrorist attack in America

Well, don't ask me how true are these predictions cos we are supposed to be traveling to Tokyo for our yearly vacation in autumn. I was joking with DH that if this trip had to be cancelled becos of a natural disaster, then I may like to consider Florida and Vegas for the family vacation. Maybe I should start checking out las vegas hotels - just in case :P

House values rising in LA

Looks like DH is agreeing to spending Christmas with his close cousins in California this year. I am excited as it has been 7 years since we last visited LA. They lived in Orange County in LA and it was a nice estate with a beautiful park in a conducive setting. We had the pleasure to bunk in their new place then.

His cousin and her family were here for vacation 2 years ago and we had a lovely time catching up. In our conversation, I recalled her mentioning about how LA house values had increased in the last few years. Another cousin who migrated to US had bought a house in Texas for investment as she envisioned that the house values would continue to rise in the next couple of years. Well, those who bought houses in the 90s for investment purposes would be reaping profits now with the current booming property market.
