| About a month ago, I mentioned that the hot dry season is coming. Well, it lasted for a week at most, then the rain came back with a vengeance, causing flash floods in a number of neighbourhoods in my city. So note to readers: Don't use this almanac as a weather blog. |

| I saw this colourful scooter yesterday morning. It was emblazoned with the tricolours of the Italian flag, which of course makes sense since the scooter is the Italian-made Vespa. I was walking on my way to buy breakfast. |

| I read this Flying McCoy cartoon today in the daily Sun newspaper. I think it is a little funny because I suspect that most people have kinda made up their minds that 99.99 % of newspapers in the world all serve some vested interests or other. Fox News is flayed by liberal and progressives as the un-News television news network. But to some degree, EVERYONE has an agenda, be it a government television network, a privately-owned news organisation, a non-governmental group or even a blog. It is not wrong to have an agenda, the important question is whether your agenda is to promote understanding or hate, circumspection or hubris, peace or violence, unity or division? |

| Update: On Chinese New Year holidays, and especially on the first couple of days, almost 99% of Chinese restaurants the country over would be closed, which means brisk business for Indian, Indian Muslimand Malay eateries everywhere. We arrived for brunch and found a vast crowd of humanitytrying to get sitting in this famous Indian banana-leaf restaurant (Raju's) in the leafy neighbourhoodoff Jalan Gasing. They were all here - Malays, Indians, Eurasians, Caucasians and even a smattering of Chinese, taking a break perhaps from the festivities at home. |

Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way
