At Kino saw CSJ's book still on sale LOL
Anyway there's a book written on e details tat led up to seperation back in 1965. Back in M'sian parliment on 9 Aug 1965, Tunku said he'd wanted to create Singapore into Malaysia's New York.
True enough, then MCA Chief & FM Tun Tan Siew Sin, wanted to change e royalty tax Singapore has to pay to KL from 40% in the merger agreement to 60%.

I just recovered from a horrible flu!
Maybe it was the piggy one, who knows, they've stopped testing people for it here unless you're frothing at the mouth and writhing on the ground. Still have a sometime-runny nose and wet cough. Darnit everytime I'm in public, I have to struggle so hard NOT to sniff or cough until my face almost turns blue! People will glare at you funny if you so much as sniff in public now.
Saw an old lady in town just now having a hacking cough and I saw so many people avoiding her like the plague and casting really dirty looks her way! Harharhar!

Oops! Sorry! I probably saw it in my mind's eye!
Pai seh! Don't know when I can return. Supposed to have been back last May but because of work and training, couldn't return. Now, can't return until ... I don't know, most likely early 2010.
I haven't been home for more than two years now. -
