What happening to our economy?

Fennie Mae and Freddie Mac (lets call them McFunnies) were formed by the US Congress (in Malaysia they would be Statutory bodies formed by statutes passed in the parliament) to provide funds to banks to lend out money to people who wants to buy houses. McFunnies got their money by selling bonds. Their bonds gave a slightly better yield then the treasury bills (M’sia: Cagamas etc) and the McFunnies bonds were not guaranteed by the Feds (in Malaysia is Bank Negara). Guess who lend the money to McFunnies? Well a lot of them are foreigners (non-US). Where they got so much money? The US bought a lot of stuff from overseas, such as oil and chinese goods. So when these goods are sold in USD, the sellers gets USD, and they left the money in the US in the form of treasury bills and McFunnies papers. Lehman Brothers was an investment bank. In simple terms, just like normal bank, they make money by lending out the money they borrowed from someone else. The only difference here is, in Malaysia or ...

Who can I be?

This may be asked when we are interviewed. Try to simulate and ask ourself all these question again. I'm quite suprise what I will answer aint really tally with what I am having. Describe the work environment or culture in which you are most productive and happy. Imagine you have received a coveted national award five years from now. Why did you receive the award, what is the award, and what are the circumstances under which you are receiving the award? What goals, including career goals, have you set for your life? How would you define “success” for your career? At the end of your work life, what must have been present for you to feel as if you had a successful career? Describe a work situation in which you can demonstrate that you motivated another person. And now, what really am I doing? Life is full of suprise, but again... Do you really love suprise?

BMW hour glass

Image
What’s an hourglass? Oh yes, it’s an ancient time piece, flowing fine sand quietly marking time in a perfectly balanced glass. It was the kick-off party to start the countdown for BMW’s European launch of the latest model of BMW 7 series, slated to take place this fall. The car, displayed in the world’s largest hourglass in the Red Square, has not received much coverage but as soon as the construction for the hourglass marvel began four months ago, online buzz about it has been consistent. The 12-meter-high glass contraption was the centerpiece of the party thrown to 400 invited guests and celebrities. At the start of the build-up, more than 180,000 silvery balls concealed the car that was gradually revealed as the balls fell to the lower level. If you like this, you may want to check this out .

Quality of IKEA product

Image
IKEA has received two customer reports where the zip bottom stop has detached from the zipper which also makes it possible for the zip slider to detach. Both parts could present a choking hazard to small children. No injuries have been reported. The cause of the failure was poor quality of the zipper. We have stopped sales and production of BARNSLIG sleeping bags and we are now reviewing our routines to secure the quality of BARNSLIG. Children’s safety is always a top priority at IKEA. All products are subject to comprehensive risk analysis and assessment during the development process. As a guiding principle; wherever possible IKEA applies the strictest requirements on any of our sales markets. Customers who have a BARNSLIG sleeping bag with date stamps 0745 to 0824 are asked to bring it back to their local IKEA store for a full refund. The date stamp (yyww) is to be found on a label sewn inside the sleeping bag. For more information, contact 03-7726 7777.

IKEA recalls FEMTON clamp spot light for risk of over-heating

Image
The Swedish National Electricity Safety Board has tested the spot light and claims the construction of the lamp could create a risk of over-heating. IKEA has received no reports or complaints from customers of incidents involving over-heating of FEMTON spot light however; safety is always of highest priority at IKEA and that is why FEMTON clamp spot light is being recalled as a precautionary measure. FEMTON is a so called “goose-neck” lamp with a flexible stem which allows the beam to be directed at will. Tests have shown a variation of the stiffness of the flexible stem meaning that some lamps could be positioned with the bulb too close to a surface area for example a wall, shelf or table top which could result in over-heating. This is of course not acceptable and immediate measures have been implemented to secure future deliveries. The clamp spot light FEMTON concerned is produced in China and has been sold since 2004 in Europe, Asia and Australia. It is marked with a four digit date...

How to transfer song between iPod?

Image
One of the biggest problems that people have with iPods is that unless you have a diploma in hacking, it is extremely difficult to share your tunes, especially without getting a computer involved. That is of course until now. Want the latest album from your friends' iPod? Simply connect both iPods to the miShare unit, press the button and away you go. It's kind of like swapping football cards in the playground, although much cooler. Providing that your files are not DRM protected (that's digital rights management to you technophobes), everything from movies to photos to songs can be transferred. Even entire playlists. Nice. There is however one downside – for now the unit does not work with the iPhone or iPod touch, although we are told that a firmware update is being looked in to.

How your baby look like?

Image
Not so long ago, you didn’t even know the sex of your baby until the day of birth. Today, we’ll know just about everything there is to know -- especially now that expectant mommies and daddies can gaze upon their progeny with the help of Echographic images 4-D. Apparently, these are the best medical images available. Echographic imagery is not new, but it has not been widely used for this purpose. For the old-fashioned among us, who feel that emailing even ultrasound images of your baby to everyone is intrusive and somewhat disturbing, this is bad idea. And one might wonder if we shouldn’t be concerned about interfering with the baby’s scarce months of peace and quiet before he/she must face our noisy, over-lit world. Add to this our impulsive need to share every single moment of our rather uninteresting lives with the rest of the universe, this could become rather tiresome. However, once the Genie is out of the lamp, there’s no stuffing him back. So, expect to see images and video of ...

Hat Yai Trip 25th-28th July

Image
I'll go for a short trip to Hat Yai this month. Together with Agatha and her parent. Not sure what i gonna do there. From Wikitravel: * Hat Yai Municipal Park on Kanchanawanit Road, is six kilometers from the city center on the Hat Yai-Songkhla highway. It is the major recreation for the people of Hat Yai and surrounding areas as well. The park is full of beautiful flowering plants, with a pavilion in the middle of the pond, avarium, and food stalls. At the foot of the hill near the avarium stands the statue of King Rama V. There is a Brahman shrine at the hilltop. And at the southern foothill near the boy scout camp stands the jade statue of Guan-yin, the Chinese Goddess. Not really interest me. :( hmmm... what I gonna do in the park? Jogging? * Wat Hat Yai Nai (วัดหาดใหญ่ใน) on Phetkasem Road, near Khlong U Taphao Bridge, is the site of a large reclining Buddha measuring 35 meters long, 15 meters tall, and 10 meters wide, named Phra Phuttha Hattha Mongkhon, believed to be the thi...

5 Murni Gathering

Its about 7 year ago that I graduated from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsasn Kepong. Such a long way back, such a fun stage of life. Back there: No need to submit homework yet can score some mark in exam. Now: Totally focus on work, but yet not everything goes smoothly. Back then: "Pretend" to listen what teacher talking for half a day. Relax for the whole afternoon and night. Now: Work in the morning. Talking about work during lunch. Continue work in afternoon. Then work from home later in night. Back then: Plan weekend for badminton, steambot, bbq with friend, birthday celebration. Now: No need to plan anymore. Cause every weekend also come back for work. But even if we are gathering again with secondary school friend, what will be the topic? Question1: Eh, where u working now? Question2: Cool~For how long d? Question3: Oh~ How is it? Imagine a gathering between 20 ppl which mean I can easily spend 2 hour to ask this 3 question to all of the 20 friend. Then probably will spend an...

男女医生的激情

在 一次医院会议上,一位男医生和女医生不断地眉来眼去。男医生请女医生共进晚餐,她接受了。他们在餐厅里坐下,她告退片刻去洗手。饭后,一切自然而然地发展 下去。最后他们进了旅馆房间。正当他们开始升温时,她打断了,又说要去洗手间。完事后,她起床,又说要去洗手。等她回来时,男医生说:“我敢打赌你肯定是 个外科医生。”她承认了,问他怎么知道。“很简单,你常去洗手。”男医生答道。然后她说:“我敢打赌你是个麻醉师。”“哇!你怎么猜到的?”男医生问。 “因为刚才我一点感觉都没有。”

Blogging

I love to blog. I see blogging as the same as writing novel, compose a song, design a websites, shooting a short film, snaping a photo and indeed it's a good way to express. Too often, I'm busy with nothing until I dint stop and looking how my life went. And after day & night, night & day... If I make a video documentation on my life, I will press the fast forward with most of them. Because looking the life that i been through, its not the life I want it to be. The ultimate question is always there. Why are you living? Why you spending your valuable time to read my blog? Your time can be better spend. Absorbing a knowledge and information is real easy. I can read from thousand media, which some of them are bringing fault information. I can watch movie, listen to music, reading news...... The most important portion of a life is expressing idea. And I see blogging as the same as writing novel, compose a song, design a websites, shooting a short film, snaping a photo and i...

85 years old

An old lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat tight so that it would not blow away in the wind.A gentleman approached her and said, "Pardon me, madam. I do not intend to be forward but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?" "Yes, I know," said the lady. "I need both my hands to hold onto this hat." "But madam, you must know that you are not wearing any panties and your privates are exposed!" said the gentleman in earnest. The woman looked down, then back up at the man and replied, "Sir, anything you see down there is 85 years old. I just bought this hat yesterday!"

Joke 1.3

Dear IT Support, Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower, gifts and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0. And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed, Desperate Housewife Reply: Dear Desperate Housewife, First keep in mind: Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0. If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But...

http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/ Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has announced that Parliament has been dissolved, paving the way for the 12th general election. At a hastily convened press conference at his office Wednesday afternoon, he said he had met the Yang Di Pertuan Agong in the morning and received His Majesty's consent to dissolve Parliament. "I've informed Parliament and the Election Commission," Abdullah said. The state assemblies have also been advised to dissolve. The Prime Minister declined to speculate on what date Malaysians would cast their ballots, saying that it would be up to the Election Commission (EC) to decide. "I am confident of winning, and I hope that we will retain our two-thirds majority," he said. The ruling Barisan Nasional coalition swept to a landslide victory in the last general election in 2004.

Is the number in your EPF enough for retirement?

How much will your EPF be worth down the road of 10 years, 15 years or 30 years from now? For example: A IT gradurate started his career as an IT consultant at 24 years old with a starting pay of RM2300 per month. Contractual bonus is one additional month. The average salary increase during his lifetime is estimated at 10% per year. EPF pays an average annual dividend of 5% p.a. His contribution to EPF is 11% of your salary and 12% is contribution from his employer. How much will his get when his retire at age 55? Well, you can use half an hour to complete that in excel sheet. Or you can simply use the calculator that RHB offer. http://www.rhbbank.com.my/calculators/epf_contribution.shtm

Propaganda Poster

Image
Propaganda [from modern Latin: 'propagare', "extending forth"] is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. Instead of impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. The most effective propaganda is often completely truthful, but some propaganda presents facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience. The New Marriage Law that was promulgated on 1 May 1950 gave women legal equality with men. Chapter One, Article One of the law, for example, defined that marriages should be based on the free choice of partners, on monogamy, on equal rights for both sexes, and on the protection of the lawful interests of women and ...

Love to Knit?

Image
Knitting is a craft by which thread or yarn may be turned into cloth . Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other. The active stitches are held on a needle until another loop can be passed through them. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. By hand, there are numerous styles and methods. Some of these produce an entirely different end-product; some produce very similar results. Flat knitting, which is done on two straight needles, produces a length of cloth, while circular knitting, which is done on circular or double-pointed needles, produces a seamless tube. Different yarns and knitting needles may be used to achieve different end products, by giving the final piece different color, texture, weight or integrity. http://maskerade.blogsome.com/

Designing a Idea

Image
Explained as a new way for teenagers to share and mix music with friends, Belkin's RockStar ($20) is a star-shaped audio hub that lets people connect their iPods (or other MP3 players) and headphones. Multiple playback devices can be connected to the hub, sharing the audio from each source simultaneously with multiple headphone ports, and letting users hear either a single song, or multiple songs mixed together. One of the ports is input-only, with a wired connector built-in; the other five can be toggled between input and output. One cable will be included for connection to a second audio device. RockStar will be available in March.

Chua Soi Lek, hidden camera, sex video and the story behind

Political career He was first elected as a state assemblyman for Penggaram, Johor on MCA's ticket in 1986. He continued to serve Penggaram for 18 years through four consecutive state elections. Later, he became a state executive councilor. In the 2004 general election, he contested in Labis parliamentary seat and won it. This allowed him to hold a federal post; Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi appointed Chua into the Malaysian cabinet as the Minister of Health. Chua later was elected as one of four vice presidents of the MCA. Sex scandal On January 1, 2008, Dr. Chua Soi Lek admitted he was the main character featured in a sex DVD that was circulated in Johor, Malaysia. The girl was allegedly his personal friend. However, he refused to resign over the sex DVD. The focus now is who is the one behind the camera, planing all this? what is the motive?
