1 Piece Boutique

This is shameless plug for a good friend of mine. I know there are numerous websites selling clothes to women in particular started by many Malaysians (mostly women entrepreneurs). Carving a niche to stand out is critical. Zyan started 1 Piece Boutique with another girlfriend Mian, and their concept of just selling one piece dress items looks enticing enough. Check out the website, great variety and very reasonable pricing. http://www.1pieceboutique.com/1pb/

I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERY MALAYSIAN TO VIEW THE ENTIRE VIDEO, NOTE THEIR COMMENTS. Malaysian EC is backward, opines fact-finding group Leven Woon 6:43PM Apr 29, 2012 A Pakistani member of a fact-finding mission group on Malaysia election opined that the local Election Commission (EC) is backward, which is a cause of the country’s weak democracy. At a press conference to release the group’s interim report today, Pakistan senator Mir Hasil Khan Bizenjo said that he is surprised to find that Malaysia, as a modern country, still has an underdeveloped electoral system. “A country like Pakistan has introduced electronic voting long ago,” he said.

Naturally, I expect the mainstream papers on Sunday morning to blast the Bersih organiser for breaching the barricades thus forcing the police to act. What else is there to expect from mainstream media? By and large the over 150,000 crowd were peaceful and respectful. But knowing the congregation of such a large crowd, there will be incidents.

If you cannot fathom Malay, then try Beyond's song "Boundless Sea and Sky" which epitomises the yearning for freedom and liberty, from all that is "not right".   Hikayat Putera Kemuning KURANG 24 JAM LAGI  untuk kita Bersama berkumpul dalam satu cita Menunjukkan sedih pilu Rakyat  semua Yang dahagakan kebenaran! Yang dahagakan ketelusan! Yang dahagakan keadilan dalam pilihanraya! Seluruh diaspora Malaysia sepertimana dahulukala Dalam negeri mahupun luar negara Bersatu hati dengan impian yang nyata Berhimpun lagi pada esok hari  Baju kuning yang sama pelbagai versi Bergerak bersama bersatu hati Meninggalkan keluarga demi  Yang tua, Yang muda, Yang sakit, Yang lemah Bersama semua DUDUK DAN BANTAH! Anak ku sama serupa sahaja Anwar Ibrahim katamu ku ulang semula India, Melayu dan yang Cina Semua bersama mengangkat suara! KAMI BANTAH! KAMI BANTAH! KAMI BANTAH! Rona-rona kuning bertaburan Dipaksa lari bertempiaran Namun hati teguh berdiri NIATKU BUKAN UNTUK PERIBADI!
