A truly Malaysian party (one party) for all, Malays, Chinese, Indians, and Sabahans and Sarawakians. A true party that does what a political party should, formulate mutually agreed upon, beneficial policies, etc, that apply accross the board in a truly equal manner. As any Lord of the Rings fan might put it, one party for all, one party to bind them all. I'll talk to you more about when we meet the coming new semester.

While I'm going truant on mine, after being played the fool, still busy. Barely step foot in Miri - only for the first 3 days upon arrival - and when departing. Even while I'm in Kuching, I commute to and fro Betong almost every week. That's a 4 hour drive, give or take, one way. I've got high milage, fyi. lol... Fortunately the bus operator has a 'frequent traveller programme'. Anyway, everything revolves around oil and gas. Transport and energy, especially. Transport not only means transporting to and fro UiTM, but also transporting goods, including food. Hence, soaring food prices are caused solely by shortages, but transportation and operation costs as well. Nice to see you're still with us. Aldric Greetings Alistaire,

Thanks for taking the time to read... :-D Was weighing the options of embarking on that. Since my current job title, besides being a Law Student, is (Freelance) <i>Corporate Writer & Copy Consultant</i>, I would like to do something which would not result in conflicts of interests while being able to increase my rates. Making the matters "worst", I'm more inclined to use the next 6 years - including the BLS Final Year - to raise capital. However, I'm going to go through the website of the Institue of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) <<a href="http://www.icsa.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">Link</a>>. Concurrently, there's another browser which I opened up, the Chartered Institute of Marketing of Singapore (CIM) <<a href="http://www.cim.org.sg/" rel="nofollow">Link</a>>. The latter's more directed to my destination. Becoming a COO?! O.o I thought that was only possible for company owners?! lol... Despite my tone, my primary concern is to secure freelance positions which I would manipulate to raise the capital I need for the next stage. ;-) Thanks Ryna, for the advice. Do come and visit more often. :-D Aldric Hello Ryna…

Oil reserves are already fast depleting after the Peal Oil phenomenon and no oil does not simply mean no cars, it means no everything, including food! Heck, ever notice that pretty much everything around you needs to be operated by plug? And where does the electricity come from again? As for food, harvests are mostly mechanised rather then manually produced? That article also says we need to prepare for an age where we might need to go back to manually labouring on land, just like our ancestors... never thought that might be a way of life for us or our descendants. Scary... You guys should read this site http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net to get an idea of how serious the situation is.
