  Somehow they'll just twist it into a total win..... maybe their press will say 'We won the Northern Rocks!!!!' without saying that they lost Pedra Branca.

  This has happened before.... several years ago when we were given the right to reclaim Tekong and Tuas with the condition that we meet environmental standards, they focused all their attention on the 'environmental victory' and totally left out the reclamation part....

  Anyway, I get the sense that the ICJ was trying to say, 'Here, I give each of you one piece, so now stop bickering, okay?'

  but dun forget, the main focus is tat lighthouse

  I know that Pedra Branca and Horsburgh Lighthouse are the main points of contention.

  I'm just saying that the Malaysian press will devote all their energies on their 'win' on the Northern Rocks. Essentially we won 2-1, but they will focus all their attention on that consolation goal that they scored.

  Though I have to admit that I was expecting us to win the Northern Rocks as well.

  Well, if you absolutely don't need an iMac now, there's certainly no harm in holding off on the purchase of one,  After all, prices will just keep dropping!

  What's the latest news on your US trip?

  nothing, because there's a snag for my release.

  there are people trying to settle it for me...

  so in the meantime i can't do anything.

  honestly, if i can run a decent business around the region... i wouldn't need to fly to USA

  Money can buy influence, and Singapore certainly has lots of the former!

  On the topic of Macs.... I feel that the MacBook Air is overrated.

  Sure, it looks good, feels good, and is as light as a feather.

  But looking at its features and the price that Mac is charging.... No way am I buying it.

  I can get a conventional Acer or Lenovo laptop with far superior features.... and at a lower price, too. Besides, looks and weight are very minor issues to me when it comes to laptops.

  the macbook air isn't for regular users

  its for businessmen.

  its like a suitcase where u put essential stuff in it and and fly off.
