FMS Bar and Restaurant ..the last day ??

February 29th 2008 was the last day for the FMS bar and restaurant.....as we know it..it will be closed for the next 3 month for renovations...will it be the same ...well?? ...but for those that have walked through its "bat-wing " doors on many an occasion ..well we all dropped in for that "one for the road" nostalgia drink...and also to wish nephew another 'cheery hello'.....

i took this shot from nephews side of the bar.........with the regulars giving a cheer!..

..other regulars taking photos with nephew and the waitresses Florence and Iris....

even the press was there for that last shot of the FMS team....yep i'm gonna miss that heritage long bar....i still have memories of friends and relatives that would take a taxi from KLIA directly to the FMS first and i would have to pick them up from there after work...obviously we would have had a few rounds before checking in to the hotel or going home...

..one for the road??".......

nephew signing off ......heres wishing Nephew, Florence and Iris..all the best

cheers!

the Christian Way.....will help you make the right choice...

I just read Mr Smiths blog....'See evil, hear evil but speak the truth"...dated 29Feb 08.....it is so good i must share it with everyone.....

......"As a Christian, should we be more concerned about Truth, Freedom, Justice, good governance, honesty and righteousness than bread and butter issues or clogged drains and tarred roads?.

Shouldn’t a Christian stand up for the poor, the oppressed and the marginalized. (Please read Matthew 6)."

Please read more here ...http://mrsmith2.blogspot.com/

..well i am a Christian....and i will be practicing my rights the Christian way...very well put Mr Smith ..thank you...

cheers!

DAP ceramah@ Ipoh Garden South yesterday night....

Saw the DAP operations team at work at Ipoh Gdn South yesterday evening on the way home...


went back after dinner...by then Uncle Lim had already left...speaking then was the the candidate for Canning Wong Kah Woh...Wong is 28 years old, a lawyer and was a form 6 student at St Michaels..........alot of young faces in the DAP team this round...

Lim Guan Eng came in from Beruas at 11pm...and he fired away

..Guan Eng cracked this joke about the judiciary..."Chua Soi Lek should have hired Lingam to defend him..looks like me , sounds like me, performs like me...but...then he could carry on as the Health Minister..." the crowd laughs and claps.....

..the crowd listening intently...


..1st class seating ...open the van door and listen....

..while Guan Eng was talking Wong went round shaking hands with the supporters....

..I must say its refreshing to see young faces in politics now.....may the better party win..

cheers!

DAP's Manifesto........

Just read a summary of DAP's Election Manifesto......posting it as an easy reference for interested readers....the local dailies seem to only report negative aspects about the opposition...doesn't sound balanced....i like the part about "implementation of local government elections.." under democracy & freedom......can this lead to a cleaner Ipoh City??

cheers
