My 2nd Million!


Hi folks, sorry for the silence but I went for a short working trip to Muscat, Oman and then had a horrendous time getting home. It hardly ever rains in the Gulf but it did the weekend I was there and this freaked everyone out, especially those at airports. Thus, flights got delayed, I missed my connecting flight, etc etc. But am home now though am off again...tomorrow. Will do a short piece on Oman soon though.

Meanwhile I was pleasantly surprised to find that slightly over one year after my first million hits, you all gave me my second one. Thank you so much for coming to visit and faithfully following my blog, even though sometimes I can't post as often as I'd like due to so many competing responsibilities. Thanks for all your comments; I've learnt quite a bit from some of them. Some commenters have even become friends in real life. Anyone who says that the Internet discourages human communication and contact is completely wrong as far as I'm concerned. If anything I think it helps us stay engaged with one another.

So thank you once again. I'll try and keep posting on current issues as often as possible. And look forward to your feedback.

Cheers!

Congratulations on your second million !

I would like to take this occasion to draw your attention to a letter in yesterday's NST about the contentious issue of teaching of Science and Maths in English.

I find myself wavering in my stand by the compelling reasons given in the letter. i wonder whether you would be re-visiting the issue and give your opinion.

the letter is here

Butcher of Kuala Lumpur said...

Hey, I left 2 comments and only 1 was published. Makes me look like a fanboy, which I'm not.

MarinaM said...

Folks, thanks for all the messages.

Butcher I checked with my Blogger dashboard and can't find any other comments from you. Do you want to re-post?

Buyung Adil, at my age ( which you can find out yourself..ahem), I think I can have my own mind.

Donplaypuks, ya sure, maybe somewhere nicer than MPH la. That was hosted by my publisher.

OF, I haven't been keeping count but I guess you're up there among my top commenters!

Julian, 2 million hits on this blog, not book sales!! Though I wish...

Niki, ya, I wish I had a ringgit for every hit too!!!

Am out of town again folks, so sorry if am not that with it this week.

Kerp (Ph.D) said...

Old Fart said...

Coffee then!!!

halimah said...

Congrats Marina - you belong to the One in A Million league while some of us are struggling to be heard!

This fellow blogger (a rather recent one) would appreciate some pointed comments from you on my blog!

Scold this ninny if you must!
Chide this nini if you will!

Clarisse Teagen said...

shaik rizal sulaiman said...

Healthcare is costly and a 'real' headache to many. An ‘amount’ be contributed to a 'tabung' (if IJN has one, that’s great) for patients who can’t afford much for medical expenses, on the success of book sales' ;-)

I or rather most of us should immensely be grateful for such kind-hearted gestures. It’s a win-win for all.

Hi. There is no email to write to, hence i used this comment to channel my query. The link provided under "Blogs I Like" - Dad's Blog will direct to this site: www.chedet.com, shouldn't it be: www.chedet.co.cc or
http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/

Good Day.

MarinaM said...

kkearthling, thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to change it when he changed his URL. Done now.
