Hard Rock Hotel Penang


Hard Rock Hotel Penang                                            

The Hard Rock Hotel Penang opened on 19 September 2009 is the first Hard Rock Hotel in Malaysia. Since we do not have sufficient budget for an overseas trip, we decided to have our family vacation here. The hotel converted from previous  Hotel Casuarina Penang  featuring a modern structural design & the room equipped with DVD/CD player, 32” LCD TV and the IPod Docking Station. The room we stayed has a picture of “The Beatles” as decoration.  Limited edition platinum record souvenir is given during this promotion period. The kids enjoyed a lot in the pool as well as the Lil ‘ Rock Kid Club.

龙应台的大江大海


Book因为龙应台的大江大海(1949)的关系,我重看了一遍冯小刚的集结号,这部以1948年的淮海战役作为背景的影片记录了中国人民解放军与国民党军队在汶河的殊死战斗。我现在看到的不仅是九连连长谷子地做为军人坚毅不拔的顽强,以集结号作为撤军的号令,致使全连47名战友牺牲。我还看到了在影片中被描绘成武器比较精良的国民党军队,同样的也被歼灭了不少人。让人感动的不是血脉贯张,激烈战斗的场面而是指导员王金存在替战友们写家书的情景,那碎碎念着怎么让妻子伺候家中老人和孩子的军人,忽地就变成了一个善良的庄稼汉。那另一方的国民党军队不也有家人在等待可能不会寄达的家书吗?

 

Assembly龙应台以她父母的际遇开始,讲述了一个颠沛流离的时代。国共内战,日俄战争,二次大战日军在东南亚与婆罗洲的集中营事迹。在烽火动荡的年代,生命的飘零如同秋天的落叶,数量多得惊人。等冬天来临时,它又势必将被白雪覆盖,不留痕迹。而那个年代对那些屈死的幽魂,亏欠了不只是抱歉。

纳吉为依沙背书 Bagan Pinang By Election


十月五日,在巴黎一众留学生前;首相纳吉为莫哈末依沙背书,声称其涉及金钱政治的操守乃巫统内部的技术问题,况且他已被冻结党籍三年以视惩罚。再度显示首相在道德制高点上已经进退失据。而这与前首相马哈迪意念背道而驰的决定也意谓马哈迪的影响力在巫统逐渐式微。

间接阐明其用人之考量在于能否一扳国阵自308政治海啸以来在西马的补选中连续第七次挫败的颓势。

如无意外,依沙将赢得这国阵堡垒陆军城的补选但时间将告诉我们巫统是否会因小失大。
