Venue: Puteri Nasi Kandar

Victoria Park, Perth.WA.

With all the fame created around Prime Minister Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's son-in-law, it seems surreal to post along side with Khairy Jamaluddin in front of Puteri Nasi Kandar.





Khairy Jamaluddin (born January 10, 1976) is a Malaysian politician. He is the son-in-law of Malaysia's Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Khairy's political and financial influence has been described as substantial, with some calling him a future Prime Minister by virtue of his connections. He is married to Nori Abdullah, and is the Deputy Chief of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) Youth wing, a post he won unchallenged in the 2004 UMNO Annual General Meeting with influence of his father-in-law.
Khairy was born in Kuwait City, Kuwait. He is the only son of former diplomat Dato' Jamaluddin Abu Bakar and Dato' Rahmah Abdul Hamid.
Khairy had his secondary education at the United World College of South East Asia in Singapore, and his university education at Oxford University in the United Kingdom. While at Oxford, he studied at St Hugh's College, and graduated with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE).

"When I first dreamt of creating a city like Greater Springfield there were those who dismissed the idea as too ambitious. But fortunately, there were also those who shared my vision and had the drive, determination and resourcefulness to help bring it to life.
Today, Greater Springfield is a resounding success, with even greater prosperity on the horizon. I am proud to invite residents, business enterprises, community groups, educational institutions and government bodies to join in living the dream. Our future starts now and together we can make it an even more exciting and rewarding reality than we ever imagined."

I met Mr. Maha on the AMWA Awards night. I was impressed by his

directness and openness on opportunities and mental toughness.

I see his success as a benchmark that we should emulate.

Metamorphosis in Paris

Californian architect Thom Mayne to design tallest building in Paris

Plans have been just been unveiled for a vast glass office block that will become the tallest commercial building since Eiffel tower. Skyscrapers are banned in the historic centre of Paris with high-rise buildings confined to the La Defense district to the west of the centre. Once described as Paris’s “mini-Manhattan”, La Defense is one of Europe’s biggest purpose built business districts, created under Francois Mitterrand’s direction in 1989. Recently La Defense has begun planning a new generation of high-rises to compete with new urban business quarters in Moscow, Madrid and Amsterdam. Designed by Californian architect Thom Mayne of Morphosis fame, the “Phare” (lighthouse) tower is a gently sloping eco friendly glass construction complete with wind turbines on its roof. At a cost of 900m Euros (£610m) the building, which will offer 130,000 square metres of office space, is due to be completed in 2012.

Individual

Each person's personal vision is unique. What we 'see' are electrical signal conducted through our visual system. The truth is images do not 'enter' into our eyes, because our eyes and nervous system are part of the whole phenomena. Each person perceives his individual image of the 'same' thing.
