Tour de France ala Malaysia
Two Malaysians decided to take part in the recent Tour de France, as 'followers' of the actual competitors. One flew from London and the other from Malaysia. One had loads of problems like two punctures and a bike accident while the other had none... goes to show the 'luck factor' at work.

Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette
A friend sent me a link to a site featuring oldies from the fifties till the eighties. Went into the site and at random, clicked 60-64 and the first tune was Alker Bilk's clarinet version of Stranger on the Shore. As I scrolled downwards, I found Andy Williams' The Village of St. Bernadette. Just curious, I clicked and found it was a song I have heard over and over again, more than 40 years ago, without bothering to find out the title!
What caught my attention was St. Bernadette, the name of the school in Batu Gajah where my two daughters studied and when I acted as chauffeur for a number of years. The sentimental part of it is still strong and fresh in my mind and each time I go to Pusing or Ipoh, I have to pass the school. The song also mentioned Ave Maria which is the name of another school in Ipoh where an old ex-classmate attended, so did a cousin of my girls. Lourdes is the name of a small medical centre in Jalan Ipoh, opposite the Sentul Police Station, K.L. where a former classmate is a doctor there. An old song can bring back so much memories!

Stevie Wonder playing golf with Tiger Woods?
Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a restaurant having dinner. Woods turns to Wonder and says, "How's the singing career going?"
Stevie Wonder replies, "Not too bad.. How's the golf?"
Woods replies, "Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing, but I think I've got that going right now."
Stevie says, "I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."
Tiger says, "You play golf?"
Wonder says, "Oh, yes, I've been playing for years."
Woods says, "But you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?"
Wonder replies, "I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball toward him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again I play the ball toward his voice."
"But how do you putt?" asks Woods.
"Well," says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground, and I just play the ball toward his voice.
Woods asks, "What's your handicap?"Stevie says, "Well, I'm a scratch golfer."
Woods, incredulous, says to Stevie, "We've got to play a round sometime."
Wonder replies, "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole."
Woods thinks about it and says, "OK, I'm for that, when would you like to play?"
Stevie says, "Any dark night you want."
