This post will not discuss about the much hyped rempits, mansions, angkasawan, or Kita Boleh attitude. 2006 will be over soon and all around the world, people will be celebrating 2007 together with the Johor people. Yeah! It’s my first time in these 5 years to actually enjoy Jan 1 as a public holiday. 2007…another 8 more years to WW3 (if wat the time traveller said is true). A sum up of 2006 news that interest me:

    Italy won the World Cup this year amidst all the corruption scandal!!
    Internacional won the Club World Cup against Barcelona
    Barcelona won the Champions League against 10-men Arsenal

    £53.1 million cash robbery in UK
    Speculation of ‘Every1 work wit me not for me’ buying a boat
    Malaysia won 8 Golds in Asian Games
    Malaysia won 7 Golds in Commonwealth Games

    Java earthquake which produce a small tsunami wave

    Baiji, the river dolphin is considered to be extinct
    KLCI hit 1000 this year
    Flood hits many parts of Malaysia due to a change in climate

The above list is not in a particular order and I may miss out some major events as my brain does not function like the memory of a computer. Some news touched my heart, others made me sad, happy, frustrated, angry, etc. But 2006 is a great year! except for the part where my ABU is hit by an Iswara
