[Msia] Space

Read from somewhere that the Msian "Space Program" is still to go on although we have already sent an "astronaut" aka space tourist as an event to be ticked off from the Malaysia Boleh checklist.

It is a total waste of money - what is the logic behind sending another person into space to perhaps make kopi tarik this time? I'd rather propose the following cheaper alternatives to substitute the Msian "Space Program" instead:
- Download Google Earth (which deceptively has a Google Space component too).
- Buy either Star Trek (original series) or Battlestar Galactica - it'll give the cadet(s) an idea of how vast and diverse space is; plus all the interstellar conflicts that go along with it.
- Take the lifts up to the Twin Tower's top floor.

The only exception that I can think can apply is that if we substitute the 2nd space cadet for some useless politician*. However, we blast the politico into space, let him/her take some pics, do a video conf call, wave the flag, and yes we'll do a kopi tarik experiment; but after that, we'll switch off the video conferencing facilities and that'll be the end of that.... who ever mentioned about a return trip anyway? ;)

* there are too many to choose from - we'd have to do a lottery

[Self] Consultant Case Study

The Issue: Played basketball on Saturday morning.

The Process: Played 6 half court games. Barely 45 mins of real game time.

The Result: Lost 3 Games, Won 3 Games. A "0.5" Result.

The REAL Result: See the pic below. Used it for the first time, and realized how much value it brings.
