Player of the week...

My son was made Player of the Week in his soccer practice yesterday. It was a surprise as I didn't expect him to get the weekly trophy... he didn't go to the soccer coaching that frequently and only started to play football. He got the award for his fast dribbling. Guess that the practice he has with me every week paid off. Well... guess he has to go next week to return the trophy whether he misbehave or not... hmmm...
Right now the trophy is proudly displayed besides his bed...

KJ won the UMNO Youth Chief post...

Khairy Jamaluddin won the UMNO Youth Chief post... polling in 304 votes out of 793. Khir Toyo came second while Mukhriz Mahathir; the favourite in terms of nominations, came last. Shows that KJ won because Mukhriz votes were split with Khir Toyo's.

I am sure the result will be the talking point for this week. Even when I check my Facebook, comments about KJ popping up like crazy. And almost all are not so kind. It will be interesting to read the analysis of this result.. what will KJ's supporters and also his detractors say. Surely his supporters will hail him while his detractors will definately have some unkind words for him.

Will he be a minister in Najib's cabinet soon? Normally Youth Chief will be appointed a junior minister post like Youth and Sports Ministry. Only Najib has the answer...

And on another note.. Sharizat Jalil won the Wanita Chief post.. beating her mentor Rafidah Aziz. Well... for me she deserves to win. Rafidah has over stayed her welcome... she should have passed the baton long time ago... perfect example that its really hard to relinquish power once you have tasted it. Bye bye Rafidah... now go take care of your cucu.

A month without broadband...

It has been a while since I blog. Not that I don't want to blog... I just moved flats and my broadband provider Virgin Media could not manage to reconnect my broadband. It usually takes them about 10 days to get the lines reconnected which I find rather odd since in Malaysia you can get it connected much faster. Anyway... they messed up my application (twice) due to systems error and I was left without broadband for about a month. This is a pure example of over dependence on software systems... and letting the error happen twice to a customer makes you wonder do they really serious in their business. Nobody picked up the problem and I'm not sure if they really solve the problem. I can tell you that since I've been living in the UK, their customer service here is not something that you can proudly mention... the standards are falling. There is a system but I think too much redtape to get things going here.

Anyway... I got me broadband back and got a couple of months of broadband fees knock off as a form of compensation. Still feels sour about Virgin Media though...
