The people poured their concrete floors,
And built their churches and their walls,
They painted pictures of their hopes and fears on them.
A single look, a tiny touch can change the system, it’s enough,
And I can see it all in you love.
And your eyes explode with light, explode with light, I’m covered in your light.
My home, is where you are
In every beat, in every beat we’re closer
They fashioned streets out of the rock,
And struck up statues to their gods,
And hung out flags on every corner they made.
We are charged, spoiling to go,
You bring me back to where I’m from,
A billion molecules all lined up.
And our hearts are pulsing with life, pulsing with life, we’re pulsing with life.
PVD feat Johnny Mcdaid
A very meaningful song despite the trance genre. It's good that we look into our souls and determine, what and where are we heading in this life. Step out and have a look as a third person perspective on our current being and we might discover something amazing despite the superficial, materialistic and the mask that hides shields us from others and even ourselves.

Julia Gillard first female PM of Australia
A turn of events in Australia as Kevin Rudd former Prime Minister has been ousted by the Labor Party and voted in Julia Gillard as the new Prime Minister, making her the first female PM. The decision made based on popularity of Kevin Rudd declining fast on his tax policies. The lawmakers from the Labor Party move was a bid to revive the party's declining popularity in a year that will see federal elections. Kevin Rudd's fall has rather been sudden when the powerful players of the conservative faction moved to oust him.
Julia Gillard, born in Wales upon taking office made several sweeping reforms on the previous policies and soften the bite of mining supertax by compromising with the mining companies. The government hopes to come up with a consensus with the mining companies after several negotiations.
In light of all this, Kevin Rudd vacated his position without a fight has raised eyebrows of many Australians. Prime Minister Julia Gillard's appointment has also raised mixed feelings. The appointment was not made by the vote of citizen and many Australians would probably think that the appointment was not made in their best interest but Prime Minister Gillard has declared "I also certainly acknowledge I was not elected prime minister by the Australian people. In the coming months I will ask the Governor-General to call a general election so the Australian people can exercise their birthright and choose a prime minister.
Food for thought, is the ousting of Kevin Rudd done in the best interest of the party and people or it's in the best interest of the giant mining companies? Could the appointment of Prime Minister Gillard be a buffer against Rudd's bold tax policies? Whatever it is, the ice is pretty thin and one can only hope that the people will not be provoked. Best of luck to the new PM of Aussie!! G'day.

PUDU JAIL demolition - 21.06.2010
It saddens me to see the historical building of Pudu Jail being torn down to make way for road expansions and several other developments. The decision made by the government of Malaysia to demolish this building has brought massive mixed feelings among the citizens. While some regard it as a national historic treasure, others nonchalantly agrees that the building is a public eyesore and could make do without it.
Pudu Jail was build in 1895 and demolished in June 2010 has become quite a landmark for many Malaysians. I used to live a block away when I was just a little boy, the memories of commuting with my parents daily. However, I hope the governments decision was well thought and studied throughly with the implications and impact on society being considered heavily and not just based on monetary prospects. I can already imagine for the next 10 years, direction giving would be "You know where the pudu jail used to be?" and add another 15 years, "Pudu Jail?, what's that". God bless Malaysia, for whatever it's worth.
