Social Networking

2009-08-25T02:31:00.000-07:00

The way society communicates have changed beyond recognition from say 20 years ago. I still remember then the only electronic communication I knew was the electronic messaging that was available to me in my alma mater's computer lab. We only could use it on the dumb terminals connected to the university's main frame. Back then there were no internet and mobile phones.

Today, not only the internet and mobile phones are available publicly, the two media has been converging rapidly and is fast becoming a seamless entity! For example, we can use GMAIL, TWITTER , FACEBOOK etc on our mobile now and the phone is looking more and more like a personal computer albeit with a smaller screen. This has invariably changed the way society communicates and interact.

If we are to get ahead in society or be in the know, we cannot ignore any more the utility that such communications tools provide us. We should fully embrace such blessing but at the same time be careful not to get caught in the web of deceit and also the alienation from society that addiction to the electronic media might bring. The human race has always produced inventions that in both useful and destructive. For example, nuclear power and nuclear bombs.... Electronic media is also a double edged swords. Scandals can be spread instantly with clicks of the mouse and politicians have use the internet extensively to their selfish gains.

Lets look at the bright side though. The convergence of the internet and mobile networks allows us access to information and electronic mails even when we are thousands of miles away from home. We can talk to our family members as well over the phone across thousands of miles and do our banking from any where in the world. The question therefore remains ; are we paying too high a social price to utilise the benefits of the electronic communications age?

Japan's Charms

2009-04-23T21:03:00.000-07:00

There are some places in the world that tourists will remember for life and for me the memory of my travels to Japan is probably one of my favorite. Japan is one place which agrees with me in terms of temperature and food, although the most interesting point for me, when I was there, is how friendly and helpful the locals are although they are essentially very busy (real or otherwise) people. Cleaniless is also one of the thing that strikes me as public street toilets there can even put our shopping centers' loos to shame.

To many, the perception is that Japan is a very expensive place to travel to but if you plan properly it can be quite affordable. My family (my dear wife, myself and daughter) enjoyed the trip and was able to see many places just by using a rail pass which we bought in Malaysia before embarking on the trip. The rail pass cost less than a RM 1K per person and the value of travel we used (including bullet trains) amounted to more than RM2K per pax! During the trip we managed to visit all around Japan including Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nikko, Nagano, Sendai and Kobe! We had a great time. (Photo of the Golden Pagoda above was taken in Kyoto)

Joy to the world ...for its Christmas again.

2008-12-19T18:56:00.000-08:00

I am an optimist. Despite economic and social turmoil around the work, I am looking forward to the new year and I see opportunities rather than doom and despair ahead. Maybe its that time of the year or maybe there is really a Santa Klaus.

Events around the world in 2008 has really been gloomly worldwide with the financial problems in the US not helping at all. Most recently, we have seen floods in many countries, earthquake in Chile, plan crashes all over the world, bomb blasts in shopping centers, terrorist attacks in broad daylight, pirate attacks of Somalia waters, demonstrations in Bangkok and Greece, financial fraud of seimistic proportions in the US within just a few weeks.

It is time like this that we need something to cheer us up, some one to prop us up in spirit and a large does of friendship. I think this is precisely what Christmas will do. Its time to spread some festive cheer to weary hearts, to make friends & family feel good about themselves to experience the warm of the festive spirit. Remember, no one should walk alone during this period.

So please pull out your keyboard and put in some positive comments to this blog. We welcome stories about how you have help others in trouble or just highlight some heartlifting stories you have hear or just some cheerful anecdotes ....
