KL is like going in the sauna and frolicking in the snow. (With your clothes on though, we are in a Muslim country after all.) Extreme temperature changes from boiling hot outside to freezing air con shopping malls are fairly exhausting so luckily I am working on a translation non-stop for a couple of days down here.

I was browsing through mags in a book shop down here and quite a few publications mentioned Prince Harry being a war hero. I am certain he does not want to be called that. What did he do to deserve this title from the trashy media? Did he kill or rape more people than others out there in the front line? Or maybe he saved someone's life? Anyone who goes to war, especially one that has a commercial purpose, or takes part in any violent activity it is surely no hero. Absolutely ridiculous propaganda. I am lucky not to have experienced war in my life time (yet) and still don't think anyone deserves to die - no matter what their religion, beliefs or race or whether  their land has oil or not. Unfortunately, I have met victims of war of my own age with severe post-traumatic stress disorder and that is not a pretty sight.

For once, I agree with the Pope.

Or maybe I should just read these articles to see what they mean by this young boy being a WAR HERO. Comments, please.
