Happy National Day, Malaysians

Hari Merdeka (Independence Day) is a national day of Malaysia commemorating the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule in 1957, celebrated on 31 August each year. This should not be confused with Hari Malaysia (Malaysia Day) when Malaysia was formed on 16 September 1963 together by Federation of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore....blah,blah,blah. (I'm not really a 'celebrate national day kind of person').

Hey guys, I'm still reading Conn Iggulden's Conqueror series. It is one of the best book I've ever read in my life. I've read Empire of Silver and The Conqueror which features on Genghis' grandsons, Mongke Khan, Hulegu, Arik Boke Khan and Kublai Khan and Ogedai's son, Guyuk Khan who was only Khan for a year. These are the books in this series:

You guys can visit http://www.conniggulden.com/ for more information on this series. I've also read The Immortal Iron Fist by excellent writers, Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction and amazing artist, David Aja. Its mind-exploding once you've finished reading the first three books (according to my father, vol. 1-3 is the best among the 5 vol.).

I guess that's all for now. :D

I AM KHAN!!!

According to my father, I've master my guitar playing and going to master my language (Chinese). Its been 4 years since I last read a single Chinese book. Now I'm reading  射鵰英雄傳 (The Legend of the Condor Heroes) and at the same time watching the original series in the 90's. This fantastic book tells the story of the young Genghis Khan 'till the death of him. As you know recently, I've been studying China history from 1195 'till the end of 1200. What I think of Genghis Khan is that he is a kind, intelligent and cares a lot about his wife type of person although some of you still think he is a barbaric king that kill babies and drink their blood .

 

Speaking of Khan, you guys should remember this quote, "Revenge is a dish best served cold"- Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek II Wrath of Khan. Here's a funny thing :

  

 

    

When Gods Walk the Earth!!!

Its been three months since my last post (sorry about that) : P. For the past few months, I'm either studying for exam or studying about extraterrestrials. As for now, I'm sharing a short post while I'm reading Empire of Silver by Conn Iggulden (originally from China's history). After the death of The Great Khan (Genghis Khan), his son Ogedai  takes over his father's throne.   

I've finished reading The Eternals by Neil Gaiman and amazing artist, John Romita Jr. The writing is brilliant as well as the art which is EPIC. It tells us a story about the past where the Celestials (ancient space Gods) came to Earth which leads to the creation of the Eternals.
