Did you know that Lee Kuan Yew was born on September 16 1923?<\/p>\n
I found this out after reading Lee Kuan Yew’s The Singapore Story<\/em>. Also, hah, his name is Harry Lee Kuan Yew<\/a>. Harry<\/em>.<\/p>\n Consider also a much unknown fact that Malaysia was formed on the same date, 40 years later (alright, sarcasm doesn’t work on the net. Read with tongue-in-cheek<\/em>). Coincidence?<\/p>\n Heh, now I know why the formation of Malaysia was postponed from the planned August 31 1963 to September 16 1963. Maybe this is why a lot of people are trying to shun Malaysia Day altogether.<\/p>\n Damn that bugger. Forever will we as Malaysians celebrate his birthday.<\/p>\n p\/s – crazy talk<\/a>.<\/p>\n There’s a buzz in Los Angeles this week about a certain local football team. Its senior quarterback is completing passes like a seasoned pro. Its electrifying tailback is breaking big runs and even bigger punt returns. There’s talk that maybe this could be a special season.<\/p>\n And USC is looking pretty good, too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n My, those Trojans must be fuming by now.<\/p>\n pp\/s – this totally reminds me<\/a> of my meeting with my econometrics professor. Who was the professor? The famed Daniel Hamermesh<\/a>. Yup yup. Looks like him too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you know that Lee Kuan Yew was born on September 16 1923?
