Just a few [sic] words in reply:
I...My dear Friend,<br />Just a few [sic] words in reply:<br />I have learnt not to trust gurus. They are just as clueless as the average person, but they expound it better.<br />I nearly choked on my cocoa (it's early morning here, and I'm typing and listening to Radio 4)when you mentioned Freddie Mercury. Aeons ago, a young man I knew was dressed in a black shirt and matching trousers in the old Nahar cafeteria in West Londra. (He was no fascist, and I knew him well). So I asked him, "Why all this bleakness and blackness, young man?" He look sad and replied, "Freddie Mercury has died."<br />My first question, as I turned to my other half was, "Who's Freddie Mercury?"<br /><br />Footnote: On this Hari Raya: you'll probably find this young man not a milion miles from Almanar.Awang Gonenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893937987435850954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942537056060250068.post-78879641960022781592009-09-19T06:50:49.069+08:002009-09-19T06:50:49.069+08:00Naz,

And I hope you haven't forgotten "I Love Taiping".<br /><br />Al-Manar,<br />I truly hope it was a really really successful trip, although the truth is at the end of the 2-day symposium none of the nine plenary presenters have any clues who among us shall progress to the final ultimate destination i.e. publication in the NYU's Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Finance. <br /><br />As I mentioned at the start of my presentation, I'm really thankful to the Editor and Co-Editor for giving me the opportunity to present our research to the distinguished panel of experts. <br /><br />AG,<br />Allow me to echo Freddie Mercury: "Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?"<br /><br />Anyway thanks a million for visiting and illuminating this blog. <br /><br />The 2-day symposium attended by gurus with sense of humour in abundance had a very tight schedule, and run like clockwork. I bumped into a couple of the gurus in the Gent immediately after my session, and they wasted no time to shower me with their compliments and what not, for they had no opportunity to do so during the presentation due to time constraint. <br /><br />Which brings me to this. I once attended a ball organised by Malaysian law students in London. At that event, I bumped into a senior member of Malaysian Royalty in the loo of all the salubrious places. Fraid, the venue had no VIP loo, LOL! Shiver, I did and so I missed the golden or platinum opportunity to compliment His Excellency's opening speech.Wan Nordin Wan Hussinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074254732723715187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942537056060250068.post-37515455083215282612009-09-18T23:45:18.139+08:002009-09-18T23:45:18.139+08:00Selamat Hari Raya, Pak!
