   Classmate Stanley Loh Hing Tai, with shorter legs but bigger lungs, shelved books as an Assistant Librarian, played soccer for the School's B team and swam for both House and School, breaking two records on the way.Both were drawn to each other by a common interest in music and, in particular, the guitar.Their musical partnership was nurtured in the numerous concerts, social functions and talentimes of the V.I. and matured in state and national singing competitions, bringing the duo awards and accolades for their memorable rendition of the sounds of the fifties and sixties, in particular, those of the Everly Brothers.Music gave and continues to give them immense pleasure and a life-long hobby that has bonded them in a fifty year friendship spanning two continents.
   
   Kor Voon was schooled at the V.I. from 1955 to 1959.In 1960 he joined Blackrock College in Ireland to prepare for the Irish School Leaving Certificate.At Dublin University's Trinity College he read English, economics and psychology and graduated with a B.A. degree in 1967.He read for his M.A. three years later.During his student days, he was chairman of the Malaysian-Singaporean Students Association in Dublin in 1964/65.
   ...
   In 1993, Kor Voon became the General Manager of a private security and communications installation company near his home in Cambridgeshire.

   After graduating with a B.A. from the University of Malaya, Stan worked as an editor at the Oxford University Press, as a senior marketing analyst at Esso, as Advertising and Promotion Manager at Tractors Malaysia, and in various other executive positions in Canada.

   I began to sing and write pop songs at the young age of 13 or 14, having just learnt to play the guitar by watching fellow Victorians and friends.

   One can either be very good with the violin or very bad.
   ...
   Actually we went to the same kindergarten at St. Mary's School in Kuala Lumpur in 1947. (St Mary's is actually a girl's school but its kindergarten was co-ed at that time.) Naturally, we do not remember much of this phase of our lives.
   ...
   But I had heard that Bobby Cheah is a professional musician somewhere in Malaysia.
   ...
   Honestly, the work that we put into the organizing with ex-Victorians Vong Choong Choy, Chan Yuen Tuck, Chee Seng Chee and Kanesalingam, the promotion and the marketing of Universarama gave me with a firm foundation for business.
   ...
   In the environment those days in Malaya (later Malaysia,) musicians did not make good living.
   ...
   I worked in three different firms, Oxford University Press, Esso Malaya and Tractors Malaysia, ghost wrote an OUP Geography book on Southeast Asia, Book 4 of the Oxford Progressive Geography Series, got married and raised two sons, Kevin and Keith.
   ...
   One would say music was not a major part of my life then.
   ...
   Only a little over a year earlier, we had just started to learn to play the guitar and to sing together and if anyone had said to us then that we would be performing to 3,000 people at K.L.'s Chin Woo Auditorium, we would have told him to get lost!Yet there we were, not only did we manage to perform on stage at K L's biggest indoor venue, we had actually won the first prize with our performance of the Everly Brothers' number one hit song All I Have To Do Is Dream, and, indeed, how appropriate the song title was.

   Now his meteoric rise to political fame has propelled the name Barack Obama onto the lips of millions of Kenyans.
   
   He has Kenyan blood coursing through his veins and has been adopted as a Kenyan national hero, who just might become the most powerful man in the world.
   ...
   Obama senior died in a road accident in 1982.
   ...
   I was in a queue of three other camera teams when I went to see Sarah Obama.
   ...
   Kenyans I spoke to in Nairobi said they hoped that Obama's links with Kenya and his status as the first African-American to have a serious shot at the US presidency will improve relations between Africa and the US.
   ...
   More than a thousand people were killed in the violence which followed December's disputed general election.
   ...
   Most people also move less than 10 km on a regular basis, according to the study published in the journal Nature.
   ...
   Researchers have previously attempted to map human activity using GPS or surveys, but it is expensive.
   ...
   Studies such as this suggested that humans wander in an apparently random fashion, similar to a so-called "Levy flight" pattern displayed by many foraging animals.
   
   However, Dr. Gonzalez and her team do not believe this approach gives a complete picture of people's movements.
   ...
   Information was collected for six months.But, according to the researchers, a person's pattern of movement could be seen in just three.
   ...
   "If I were to build a model of how everyone moves in society and they were not similar then it would require six billion different models — each person would require a different description."
   
   Now, modellers had a basic rule book to follow, he said.
   ...
   For example, Nokia have put forward an idea to attach sensors to phones that could report back on air quality.
   ...
   Of course Chee Chee is quick to see an opportunity.He dreamt of a project that would bring him glory worldwide.Here is his vision ... his missive for eternal recognition.He wrote;
   
   "There is validity for this communication!As this group of people contributed their resources as much or more for the greater good of Sri Lanka.
   ...
   It is probably time for the Dutch and Doubtful Burghers, who migrated to Australia from 1972 onwards to come back.
   
   Burghers demand Lansi Eelam .... ! Unite for the common cause!"(This was the personal note Chee Chee included with the following letter)
   
   "We write on behalf of the Lansi Eelam Association of Australia Inc., a body which was recently formed for the purpose of defending the rights of Burghers in Sri Lanka.For long, we Burghers have suffered in silence and watched with rising indignation the gradual erosion of our rights and privileges in the land of our birth.
   ...
   We have sent urgent communiquès to our fellow Burghers scattered throughout the world informing them of this venture and soliciting their support.On the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Dutch in Ceylon (2002) we estimate that 50,000 Burgher loyalists here in after to be known as the Wolves of Wolfendaal, will land in Sri Lanka at Bentot and Hambantot and march in a glorious struggle for freedom and Lansi Eelam.
   ...
   Summoning up their ancient Dutch courage, they will march forward relentlessly — Lansi kakula, nikan kakula, Lansi kakula, nikan kakula — from Galle to Kernigalle, from Cockeye-Kade palliya to Newreliya, gathering the support of their long-suffering kinsmen en route.
   ...
   Non-violence is the law of our species as violence is the law of the brute.The spirit lies dormant in the brute and it knows no law but that of physical might.The dignity of man requires obedience to a higher law to the strength of the spirit.
   
   Non-violence is a power which can be wielded equally by all children, young men and women or grown-up people, provided they have a living faith in the God of Love and have therefore equal love for all mankind.
   ...
   Non-violence is an unchangeable creed.It has to be pursued in the face of violence raging around you.
   
   My non-violence does not admit of running away from danger and leaving dear ones unprotected between violence and cowardly flight.I can only prefer violence to cowardice.
