World's 10 Tallest Roller Coasters

2012-01-05T03:09:00.000+08:00

No 10: Goliath - Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, Calif. - 235 feet. Any roller coaster enthusiast will be quick to tell you that bigger is not necessarily better when it comes to riding the rails. Bigger is, however, definitely more terrifying. Here's a list of the world's tallest roller coasters, ranked by size. First stop: Goliath, reaches a speed of 85 mph. Despite its height, it includes a 255-foot drop, thanks to an underground tunnel.

No 9: Silver Star - Europa-Park, Rust, Germany - 240 feet. Silver Star is the tallest roller coaster in Europe, and exposes its riders to 4 Gs of force.

No 8: Titan - Six Flags Over Texas, Arlington, Texas - 245 feet. The Titan, which is almost identical to Goliath except bigger, includes a 540-degree helix twist and 2.8 million pounds of steel in its supports.

No 7: Eejanaika - Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyoshida, Japan - 249 feet. Eejanaika's seats can rotate 360 degrees forward or backward in a controlled spin. There's some controversy over the Guinness Book of World Record's claim that it has the most inversions of any roller coaster in the world.

No 6: Fujiyama - Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyoshida, Japan - 259 feet. The Fujiyama course is 6,709 feet long, and riders see it at 81 mph during its fastest point.

No 5: Thunder Dolphin - LaQua, Tokyo, Japan - 263 feet. Thunder Dolphin doesn't just go through the middle of a Ferris wheel, it also speeds through a hole in a building.

No 4: Millennium Force - Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio - 310 feet. Overlooking Lake Erie, Millennium Force utilizes an innovative cable lift system, and is regularly voted as roller-coaster enthusiasts' favorite ride.

No 3: Steel Dragon 2000 - Nagashima Spa Land, Nagashima, Japan - 318 feet. The Steel Dragon -- which opened in 2000, the Year of the Dragon, natch -- is the longest roller coaster in the world, at 8,133 feet and two inches long.

No 2: Top Thrill Dragster - Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio - 420 feet. Riders on this coaster are launched hydraulically, reaching a speed of 120 mph. When it opened, it had the highest drop of any coaster in the world -- 400 feet.

No 1: Kingda Ka - Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson Township, New Jersey - 456 feet. It doesn't have "king" in its name for no reason. The Kingda Ka is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, sending its riders on a 128-mph thrill ride

Star Wars Emperor's Arrival Scene In Lego

2012-01-04T22:49:00.003+08:00

Using 400 LEGO minifigures and over 30,000 Lego pieces, designer Jay Hoff recreated the memorable arrival of the emperor scene from Star Wars for Science Discovery Day at Berkeley Preparatory School in Tampa. Everything picture above is made from LEGO, except for the starfield, which is hand-painted poster board. The only concessions he had to make were mixing in Clone Troopers with the Stormtroopers to save some money on the budget. He also inserted Darth Maul and added the right wall in Photoshop for better viewing.

Steve Jobs Portrait made out of 3,500 Apples

2012-01-04T22:44:00.000+08:00

When he learned of the passing of Steve Jobs, artist Olivier Lefebvre made a last-minute change to his entry in the Quebec Land Art contest and decided to create this tribute to our beloved leader, made entirely out of Apples. The project took him about 50 hours in total to complete, but as you can see, the results were well worth the effort, as this easily ranks in the top four fruit-based Steve Jobs portraits we’ve seen this year.

whaddup .

2011-12-29T08:44:00.000+08:00

let me guess, it's coming to the end of 2011 and i did not post anything here, right ? gah. well the thing is.. didnt have time to post one. haha not that i am too lazy to post or something it's just that got SO MUCH THING TO DO ! okay, obviously it's not like work or study or something.. i am busy GAMING. lol. wow, took so long for me to have this kind of relieve where i don't have to listen for another babble saying "Daniel, go study !" or "Daniel, it's getting late !" lol though, a nod would settle things sometimes. hahaha. like i said in the earlier posts, got lots of shows to watch, lots of movies to watch and lots of games to play. yes. everyday i eat, sleep. eat, sleep. of course, the three component things of gaming, tv and online is inclusive. but yes, pathetically.. i do nothing but eat and sleep. and i like it. hahaha nah, not doing this for a living but yeah, make use of the time given to you right ? worked my ass off whole year this year and compiling it with the rest of the years i'd studied in school. a simple word.... FREEDOM. finally indeed. haha despite that, i sure can't wait for my results to come in. not that i'm being some over confident bitch, no. easy said, i'm feeling lucky. but i don't know, what's being planned by god, no i don't know. i really hope i get my success. what i'm really waiting for is to enter a new stage. the university/college life. that's the thing baby. haha. whatever it is, i have to wait. and oh, speaking of result... MUET 2011 Year-End exam result is being expected to release by January. so, heads up to me and all the other candidates in Malaysia. (hoping to be RM1k richer) :P lol but only if i get Band 6.won't be easy though.

well, that's that. today i'm leaving KT. going to Kuantan for a few days. same thing last week. been there, not much of a thing.. just been busy with tahlil at house. family and relatives gathered, recited for the passed member of our family. nothing much, didn't really hang out anywhere. OH, i went to see the MI4: Ghost Protocol. awesome shit. truthfully, you guys should watch. action packed :D so, another thing.. things didn't really go as planned. suppose to get the new car my dad bought today and straight back to kuantan, probably visit kl and ipoh... BUT NO. fuck. why ? that dealer of ours made a fucking mistake. did not settle the agreements and documents on time like he promised. even the car didn't arrive yet. now that's the problem. fucking car still in fucking kl. OMG. how mad i was, still do. you guess what my parents thought. lol. so, with that.. we wont be going to kl nor ipoh because the car we're using right now could not fit anything but our luggage. which is kancil that my uncle borrowed us to in exchange of my old car. FYI, you can't fit anything in there. i struggled to get a comforting position at the back with my bro and sis next to me. well, you know. i ain't small. see the body size la wei. hahaha. wtf. i was sooo excited that we suppose to get the car today.. oh well, sunday/monday it is. but by that time... nowhere to go anymore. sucks right ? school's starting next week. so, no point of eagerly waiting for the car anymore. if only my bro don't go to school and my dad don't have to go to work :P hahaha. gosh, one more thing. hahaha didn't manage to tell you that i dyed my hair. again. now this time, brighter. light blond. previously i dyed mocha. too dark to me, that's the problem. cuz you know, i didn't get to dye my hair, not until i'm gone for good from school. that's why my mum told me. so, yes. now's the time. so i want something bright. now i got that. well, if you try to imagine.. it's not like bleachy-yellowish, pale looking blond. it's more of a blond with a bit touch of chocolate/brown. obviously, that's what you get if you mix mocha with blond, right.. hahaha. well, i like this colour. got this good feeling of wee awesomeness ;P hahaha jk. main reason was to feel funky bit. change style. that's all. at least by the next few years, i could say that i dyed my hair blond, and hell it looks good. NOT COMPLIMENTING MYSELF OKAY. fy if you think so. hahaha :P well, wtv.

i know, tiring to read all the stuff i babble right ? hahaha but oh well, sometimes i can't stop my fingers from pressing all these alphabets and type, type and type. i don't really wanna start focusing here much cuz i know, if not i'll be hung up all the time posting, posting and posting. hahaha. right, btw.. as the matter of fact that i'm going to kuantan, i'll be out of touch not sooner than saturday. so, till then... adios.

SPM finally ended. and yes, it ended beautifully. never felt so happy with my performance until this final test. so, when SPM is over.. it means that SCHOOL IS OVER. 11 years brah, 11 years. wow. long journey. hahah. i just wish i could get the best result by March. all of you, pray hard for me please. thank you. so, what to do now ? sit home and enjoy the life i wanted for so long which is playback a bunch of prerecorded tv shows, download some new series, go online, sleep anytime i want and go anywhere i want. lol. i chose to stay home rather than go out working. it's not that i don't want any extra bucks, it's just that it made me think that the reason behind why i don't like going to school is that to wake up early, stay someplace with a serious, disciplined environment . i would love that by the next 5-10 years time, but not now. i just want to chill out, hang around and be happy with what i have around, still. sorry, it's been 2 days already since i've finished my last paper.. didn't manage to update my blog so fast. been so tired. mentally speaking. seriously, if you ask me... SPM is all about mentality. if you are strong enough to feel the pressure, face the hard knocks.. you are ready. and if you are not ready, please. be careful. to those who are sitting for next year, be prepared. mark my words. SPM aint' as hard as you think. you just have to go on with the flow and get ready for what's coming in your way. remember that. :) so, summing up things.. i just felt so relieved that i managed to pull it off so well. let us see the outcome soon enough then, right ? my only word that day on the last paper.. "wow, it's over". with a great big smile on my face. though i didn't shout or do stupid stuff after that, unlike some of my friends... i just cool off, lay back and kept the smile till i reach home ;) hahaha. i'm really excited of going to college/university. just can't wait for it. hahha

till next post. ;)

What are Sea-Monkeys ?

2011-10-27T05:17:00.000+08:00

Okay, today's post features the most commercial and demanding product by fellow children, probably worldwide (depends on the productions) . Sea-Monkeys. What are they ? I mean, is it really a Monkey ? the "oouh-oouh, aah-ahh" kind that lives in a sea ? IS IT ? lol i bet gazzillion people who are exposed to this product pose the similar question. the answer is....... NO. sadly, we've been fooled. :( hahaha. okay, take that aside. you see, how does the name have anything to do with it ? Literally.

The resemblance of the animal's tail to Monkey and live in a salt water environment explained the ideas. Therefore, Sea-Monkeys are born. how weird. FYI, it's commercially introduced due to a high number of ant farm "breeders" back then. well, it's just business, nothing personal. ain't it ?

Okay, even by my own thoughts. My sister once owned these creatures. I only knew the name but never seen one before with my bare eyes. So, a direct thought would be Sea-Monkey = Monkeys live in water. LOL. No ain't what it is. I got frustrated when i saw the real thing. like "HEY! why aren't they look like a monkey?!" what i can read in my mind further is just "BUNCH OF LIARS!" lol. such a promising name but sigh. Okay, i must admit. It's still cute, though. but the thing is... i got disguised by their weird looks and the way they move. like OMG, EWW -.-" damn it. Like most people would say, though, is that... THE MAJOR SETBACK OF SEA-MONKEYS are.... They don't possess the similarity in them despite the name, the mascot and wtv it is told. The life span are just SO BRIEF. now you see it, now you don't. After finished the foods or wtv.. they'll die or idk. cuz i just can't recall what happened back there. all i wondered was "where the hell it went?" and oh, it's transparent and the feet moves super fast. so, that's the a little bit of ooouuwh/ewww. haha B-)

Okay, it's time to discover and uncover the truth.

The real name for this species is Artemia a.k.a Brine Shrimp which is a genus of Aquatic Crustaceans.
The total length is usually about 8 millimetres (0.31 in)-10 millimetres (0.39 in) for the adult male and 10 millimetres (0.39 in)-12 millimetres (0.47 in) for the female, but the width of both sexes, including the legs, is about 4 millimetres (0.16 in)
Harold von Braunhut first invented and introduced these Sea-Monkeys based on Brine Shrimp in 1957.
It does not feed but consume their own energy reserves stored in the cyst while wild Brine Shrimps eats microscopic Planktonic-Algae.
Cultured Brine Shrimps can also be fed particulate foods including yeast, wheat flour, soybean powder or egg yolk.
These creatures undergo Cryptobiosis ( an ametabolic state of life entered by an organism in response to adverse environmental conditions such as desiccation, freezing, and oxygen deficiency) – often sold in hatching kits as novelty aquarium pets.
All metabolic procedures stop, preventing reproduction, development, and repair during this period. An organism in a Cryptobiotic state can essentially live indefinitely until environmental conditions return to being hospitable. When this occurs, the organism will return to its metabolic state of life as it was prior to the Cryptobiosis.
While in Cryptobiosis, Brine Shrimp eggs can survive temperatures of liquid air (−190 °C or −310.0 °F) and a small percentage can survive above boiling temperature (105 °C or 221 °F) for up to two hours. Once placed in briny (salt) water (>5‰), the eggs hatch within a few hours. The nauplii, or larvae, are less than 0.4 mm in length when they first hatch. Brine Shrimps has a biological life cycle of one year.

Okay, so... NOW.... YOU KNOW. hahhaha. not to hypnotize/brainwashing you to not buy these things. Just for information. Knowledge is very important to a person. It reflects the personality of his/her. Yes, they are cute in figure but might not be a fortune worth wasting for unless you just love these things and not to worry of paying a sum of money continuously to keep them as pets. Rather buy a real pet like cats, dogs, birds, iguana or wtv it is than this. love and care them better. though, it's not so expensive... it's just can be considered as wasteful and un-useful item to keep. well, i'm not the judge here. i'm just here to give information. I, personally don't have a problem in keeping them. quite easy but might think twice about the regular costs. lol :D

Review: Secretariat

2011-10-27T03:34:00.000+08:00

a very elevating and touching story on how a housewife decided to take over a family business on horse breeding after the passing of her mother and how she managed to claim the glory in her by a horse named Secretariat a.k.a Big Red. A movie worth watching and recommended for movie lovers and of course, horse lovers as well. It's just full of emotions in it. Happy, sad, dramatic, pumped. Well, you name it.. it's all in it. Okay, to add a little bit more spice.. It's a true story and she, Penny, the owner of Secretariat.. Lived to tell the tale. how brilliant and wonderful it is. Such amazing thing done by her and the horse too.

Verdict: 4.5/5

It claimed the rating by it's own ways of the story. this is not another frustrating, turned down or failed movie reached out to the box office. It's a movie with love, care and happiness in self, family and life. A round of applause. :)

Marathon

2011-10-27T03:13:00.000+08:00

okay, currently i have nothing to do. so i decided to start a marathon. CSI: Miami marathon. lol. i'm using Astro Beyond PVR, so i'm able to record stuffs. The best thing i ever have. Turns out it's better than Astro Max. though, the design and control is better in Astro Max.. the feature of the PVR, you can make a simultanious recording. two at a time. but the setback, you have to watch either one of it live. but there's always a trick. you could just watch a recorded programme then. :D whee. so, i kept this CSI since it started. idk whether the season ended yet or not but currently catching up to the mid season already. haha. well, i got more.. Camelot, Justified, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Throne and more series & movies. i just love it. record, watch later. (Sounded like promoting Astro =__= duhh) hahha. wtv.

okay, so since last night till today, i'm watching CSI: Miami. since no more box office movies to watch, dvds are absolutely cleaned, i mean finished all. lol. i decided to watch this. actually, tired of waiting for my dad to watch this together. hahaha. xD though, Camelot, Boardwalk Empire & Game of Throne is still in list. that, i can wait. More hype. oh, yeah. this season. quite interesting twist. new songs on list, nice view nice story & plot. awesome :D

what to do ?

2011-10-26T05:34:00.001+08:00

it's funny, SPM hasn't yet started.. i already began to think of thing that i'm planning to do. oh what to do, what to do.. ? should i get a job or should i stay home, slacking ? if i get a job, i'll get money. things can be bought. aim: PS3. lol. okay, a point over there. but, second thoughts came in. i always have problem and complains of going school by saying it's boring, have to wake up early and stuff and the most importantly, rather stay home watch tv, play game and sleep. lol. that's the problem. stay home ? i can do what ever i want. watch this and that, play this and that, blog here and there, chill out somewhere outside with my friends and stuffs. but the thing is... i won't get money. i always planned of having a PS3. just can't take my eyes of it. ahahha. 3 months+ free time. okay, my new idea is to chill out first, for a month +. then work part time .. by the time i get the result, i'll resign. how's that sound ? blekh. wait till SPM is over first. hahaha. though, a lot of events are coming up after exam. and many places are planned to be visited. should i or should i not ? lalala. twists my mind thinking. fucking whatever --"

T-Minus 19

2011-10-26T04:49:00.001+08:00

okay, here's the thing. SPM is very, very close. 19 days gap. pejam celik, dah dekat. whoa. really, i do feel the heat slowly. though, i seem so calm. even my friends are like," hey, aren't you scared or nervous or something ? cuz you seem so relaxed, berani mati kind wei.." lol that's what they said. why ? yeah, at school.. in my class, only my group would still play decks, walk around, joking here and there. haha not to say that i don't act like im sitting for one but idk, maybe the more i think about it, the higher the chance for me to get unsteady. sangkut wei, seriously. especially when they started posting stuffs like peruncingan shits.. wow, feels like fucking monster in my stomach. damn. oh, i still having a hard time to study. idk why. yes, at school, a lot of papers like trials and form 4 stuffs all over the country are being used for exercises. i did that but not reading. i want to but idk, guess it's still early. my starting point maybe like end of this week or the next. i bet it'll stick in my mind better when it's closer. have to admit that memory isn't on my side lately. too much to think of.

currently, i used up my time online.. chatting and watch tv. new movies, new series and etc. unconsciously my way of losing the heat. i remember last time during UPSR, i had fever. PMR, i crave stuffs. things like chocolates especially. only managed to notice it right after the last paper. lol i call these The Exam disease. the symptoms are quite clear and very different to each person. try asking other people who are sitting for one of these three exams, you'll know. or maybe if you just observe and you'll definitely notice a few weird things done by them. hahaa. calm down, daniel. it's just another test. RIGHT =__=" yes, i have to put up my game soon enough. 2 weeks + left. that's all. then 9 days for all of my subjects and i'll be done by Nov 30th. Freedom is in way. yeah. haha.

till next post. gahh ! ><

How To Unblock Sites .

2011-10-25T06:54:00.001+08:00

Okay, particularly majority of internet users in Malaysia are pissed off with the move made by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) which was by BLOCKING a few sites due to data theft/piracy prevention scheme, which are :

warez-bb.org
thepiratebay.org
movie2k.to
megavideo.com
putlocker.com
depositfiles.com
duckload.com
fileserve.com
filestube.com
megaupload.com

This is the official black & white.

Okay, how brilliant can more internet be ? lol okay, i figured out a simple step to "blind" the blockage. hahhaha super happy cuz you don't have to struggle to download stuffs anymore. say hello to Google DNS ;D hahaha just follow the steps precisely and you'll be good to continue. B-)

okay, last word.... IN YOUR FACE, Rais Yatim ! MCMC too !

New Home For The Red Warriors

2011-10-23T17:45:00.001+08:00

New Stadium Design.

The State Government will commence the construction of a new stadium at Bukit Merbau,Pasir Puteh in early March next year with a unique concept of the stadium with the mosque.

Chairman of the Economic Planning, Finance and the Welfare State, Datuk Husam Musa said, the main committee in the construction of sports complexes and stadiums selecteddeveloper will be appointed at the end of December. "In early March next year, preparatory work will be initiated at the state-owned land to avoid land acquisition costs. Some of the sports complex project for and partly for commercial purposes to cover the cost of building the new stadium.

"The State Government intends to use the 49.2 hectares of land in Bukit Merbau inspired by chief minister's own design ideas," he said when replying to Ahmad Baihaqi Atiqulah (PAS-Pasir Tumboh) to ask questions the date of the first phase of the new Stadium began. Husam said the concept of the stadium along with the mosque was a favorite of sports and religious consolidation that line.

Prior to this, Chief Minister, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, as he announced the construction of the stadium, said the proposed sports complex is open to any developer to send the proposal on the basis of BOT construction, operation and transfer.

Blackberry Empathy: CONCEPT DESIGN.

2011-10-21T01:20:00.000+08:00

The new smartphone designed by Kiki Tang & Daniel Yoon which displays a very high-end touch to it with a mood detector by switching colours according to the user's moods. The new BB does explains a very different shape, size and finishing touches to a very futuristic look. Looks very modern to me. a fierce approach to iPhone, in terms of competition ? Probably. stay tuned. :)

my guess is that it would definitely be a nice phone. though, it's up to the company's brains whether to include a very good way to get more attention among people and how to get closer to the competitor, Apple iPhone. with iPhone 5 is on the verge of birth soon enough, it would be a good time for Blackberry to introduce a brand new close up model to the public. As we all know, Blackberry has been a hit to the people today, but with a new touch.. i think it would catch the eyes of iPhone lovers too, especially with this kind of design. A very elegance model indeed comparing to the previous ones. because to me, the normal BBs' are just too simple to be called smartphone. but with this one, YES. Yes, i might fall for this phone too in case it does come out in the near future. It'll be a very hard call to decide which one's the one. we'll see soon enough, aye ? B-)

2012: LEGOLAND MALAYSIA

2011-10-17T00:09:00.000+08:00

Legoland Malaysia is set to open by early 2012 in Johor Bahru at Nusajaya, Iskandar Malaysia Economic Region. This will also be the first Legoland Theme Park in Asia and sixth in the world after Denmark, Britain, California, Florida and Germany. The massive 76-acre (31 hectare) project is brought together by IDR Resorts and UK based Merlin Entertainment costing a whopping RM750 million. The good news for those across the border is that is it will only be a 20 minute drive from the Tuas Second Link to Medini in Nusajaya which is one of five flagship zones of Iskandar Malaysia. This will be the biggest family entertainment project in Johor which will attract tourist from locally, Indonesia and also Singapore.

Among the attractions at Legoland Malaysia, there will be a gigantic replica of the Petronas Twin Towers, all built using Lego bricks and it will be the tallest Lego structure in the world. Replicas of famous landmarks from around the world such as India’s Taj Mahal, Beijing Bird’s Nest Stadium, Cambodia’s Angkor Wat and Singapore’s Merlion statue will also be featured, all made from Lego bricks. All the main structures will be located at Legoland’s Miniland. The theme park would also have famous buildings in Johor Baru, such as the Royal Museum, Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque and the Dataran Bandaraya clock tower. A total of 50 interactive rides will be available while an amazing amount of 30 million Lego Bricks are used throughout the park for building structures. The current completion date for the park has been set for early 2012 so stay tuned for news announcements. For further details on tickets and information, please read the end of this article.

Above: Perdana Putra - The Prime Minister's office, Replica of shoplots at Jalan Wong Ah Fook in Johor, Local shops at night in Johor; All made from Lego.

One thing I foresee is that many will capitalize on Travel and Tour Packages to Legoland Malaysia. Tour companies will take the opportunity to include this package for Malaysians, Singaporeans and Indonesians making the Southern region a worthy visit for holiday makers. Imagine spending 4-5 days around here where you get a chance to visit Singapore's Universal Studios, Sentosa Island and Legoland Johor in one visit where everything is just a drive away.

Legoland Location: Nusajaya, Johor

Ticket Prices: To be announced

Opening Times: To be announced

Attractions: Main Theme Park, 4D Theater, Kids Driving School, Legoland Hotel, Lifestyle Mall

For future updates, please visit the official Legoland Malaysia Website.

Ticket prices for Legoland have yet to be confirmed but the word out there is that it will be very affordable for a family of six people. The ticket price for an adult in Legoland California is around US$69 (RM210) per day so there are a lot of guesses on how it will be priced here in Malaysia. I am pretty sure that for the opening, there will be Family Package Tickets and promotional prices. The park is also targeting about 1.5 million visitors annually.

For family theme parks, there is also KidZania Kuala Lumpur at The Curve NX which is opening in December 2011. So there are a number of kids and family interactive theme parks in Malaysia now. I am hoping that this park opens in the first quarter of 2012 without any delays so that I can pay a visit here to fulfill a childhood bucket list. I am pretty sure that most of you would have had some experience playing with Lego in your younger days. I clearly remember my uncle from the UK who brought a massive Lego Box Set as a gift when I was about seven years old. That alone kept me busy for many years so you can imagine the thrill of visiting an entire park filled with these little colourful bricks. Till 2012, see you all at Legoland Malaysia.

Review: Nasi Lemak 2.0 & Bini2ku Gangster.

2011-10-14T20:05:00.000+08:00

Okay, started of with Nasi Lemak 2.0. It's a chinese movie of course. directed by Namewee. if you are Malaysian, so..you know who he is. i just watch it, to know what are his message to the nation. okay, some things are still the same. Namewee will always be Namewee. just like how any other people would be. sticking to himself and his opinions. what we can see, it only possess a small number of professionalism as he made it more like a fan made youtube video. sorry, not that i don't like him, it's just because that the movie is not worth to consider as a movie. the jokes are there but it's more like an amateur comedy. what more can i say about the movie ? urm well, yes. the multi-racialism is at the birth as the movie goes on as he discovers what is the true meaning behind the dish of Nasi Lemak.

Verdict: 2/5

not really good but not that bad. it only made it better with a bunch of wonderful actors and actresses. but it's okay for you people to watch. :)

okay, this movie is about how a commitment goes by as the married couple living in life where the wife is a gangster and the husband is a good office boy. how they manage the life moves on to the story itself. quite funny but boring sometimes. okay laaa. well, i have nothing much to say.

Verdict: 3/5

if you like fighting, gangsterism type of movie, this is the one you should watch. though with a slight twist of love and commitment in it. enjoyy :)

Men In Heaven

2011-10-14T16:13:00.000+08:00

When everybody on earth was dead and waiting to enter Heaven, God appeared and said, "I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men who were true heads of their household, and the other line for the men who were dominated by their women. And I want all the women to report to St. Peter."

Soon, the women were gone, and there were two lines of men. The line of the men who were dominated by their wives was 1,000 miles long, and in the line of men who truly were heads of their household, there was only one man.

God said to the long line, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you to be the head of your household! You have been disobedient and have not fulfilled your purpose! Of all of you, only one obeyed. Learn from him."

God turned to the one man, "How did you manage to be the only one in this line?"

The man replied, "My wife told me to stand here."

Halo Moon Phenomenon

2011-10-10T00:11:00.001+08:00

i wonder what this phenomenon would tell. yes scientifically, it's a beauty formed by the reflection or whatever it is between the Sun, Moon and Earth. just like eclipse but in a whole different way. I don't know what does it translate to but i heard, some say that these things tells that something bad will come. well, god knows. it could just be another rumor by someone. but that's what i heard. any ideas guys ? what could've been ? eager to know. :)

oh, it's currently like this here now in Malaysia. various pictures and status comments flooding the Facebook wall right now about this thing. interesting, beautiful, scary, weird or maybe curious for some. all they want is just an answer. but who knows what it is. :B

Election .

2011-10-09T22:39:00.002+08:00

okay, today's post is more towards current issue. i guess all of us here in Malaysia know that GE's coming soon enough. it's the 13th, fyi. so general election basically gone through for some time, can say smoothly with the government getting 2/3 seating as usual. though, a shock came in during the last GE where the government, Barisan Nasional had a setback where the opposition, Pakatan Rakyat which consist of DAP, PKR & PAS altogether gain the people's choice by winning 1/3 of the seating in the Parliament. that just shook the people. obviously, the govt did something wrong there. they didn't focus on what the people wants and needs. it was the Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's reigning era where there he had to step down as a result of the people's choices. then came Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as a replacement, bringing in a whole new set of ideas and ways on how to tackle the people's hearts. 1 Malaysia was introduced and few other transformation plans to replace/rebuild the mistakes or what the govt didn't see.

okay, let's just skip the intro. my idea for this post today is about the election. as we all know, the only way you could gain the rights to actually vote for either the govt or the oppo, 21 years old is the age. currently. the reason i brought this up is because as we all know, sometimes we could actually debate on the right age to vote. yes, the main concern is that some might think that no, the age is correct. perfect timing in terms of mind set. you are matured enough to think, to act and to know what's right and what's wrong by observing and implementing your rights and beliefs. as time passes by, with all the technologies and knowledge we currently have. by far in my point of view, it is time for the age to be put lower. those days, the people don't have enough mediums to learn from or to observe from. television, internet, desktop/laptop, mobile phones and school are not by far a necessity to all. maybe the total income and job opportunities aren't as much and as high as today. no, what i mean is that some don't get what others have those days. but you see today as instance, majority of Malaysian citizen owns at least a laptop/desktop, a television and access to internet and cable tv (Astro). hardly these days we see a common household do not own either one of these. these, ladies & gentlemen are making us think forward, learn further and more mature in terms of mind set. yes, undeniable that some are still struggling to proceed to the right standard but what i see in Malaysian today is that we've grown. 53 years of independence taught us a lot. we learnt a lot.

i personally think that it's time the government to think about making a few changes about the election. let's look on the bright side, we become more mature. we will think deeper on our rights and by choosing the right person to lead is important. together as well, declining the ideas of politics are lame and boring. youths today do need a jump start. make us think further. make us choose the right decision.who knows, from here we could find a future good leader somewhere among the youths that could lead our country further and beyond one day ? we will further understand the meaning and the importance of election, politics and having the right person leading for the sake of our future, the youths and yes, to the future generations as well. off record, the number of votes will be increased by the escalating number of voters if this is implemented. that will make them feel better, don't they ? lol. okay, fine by that. the thing is, people like me do think about this often. i continuously follow on to the news and things spoken by the politicians. i don't suggest 17 years old should vote but then, at least the age should be lowered. it's up to the parliament's discussion about this matter. if you ask me, i'll put a rage between 18 to 20. 21 is just too long, too far. let's make them excited to vote. just like how blood donation campaign are approached to youths. i myself contributed, twice so far this year. how about that ? i'm just opening the eyes of the people that someone do care about the country. about what's good for a change according to the timeline. it's 2011, people. a decade passed in the new millennium. think about it.

with that, i rest my case. thank you. :)

R.I.P Steve Jobs.

2011-10-06T22:20:00.000+08:00

Jobs resigned as the company's chief exec in August after being on medical leave since January 17 for an undisclosed condition. The unveiling of the iPhone 4S on Tuesday was the first time he had not been at a key product launch. Jobs died as Walt Disney Co.'s largest shareholder after he sold Toy Story makers Pixar to them. Comparisons were drawn between Jobs and some of history's most celebrated minds.

There is no other business more closely linked to the man in charge. It will be a huge challenge for Apple to retain its dominance without his drive and determination. STEVE Jobs WAS Apple. He came back to the company he founded when it was struggling in the 90s and made it a world-beater. Apple products are among the world's most sought-after. It's fitting that in his last weeks, Apple — which almost went BUST before the dot.com boom — became the most valuable in the world. Great man, great vision and one hell of a legacy.

Movie director Steven Spielberg, one of the founders of Pixar rival DreamWorks Animation, said: "Steve Jobs was the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. He put the world at our fingertips." The CEO Jobs hand-picked to replace him, Tim Cook, addressed Apple staff in an email. Daniel Ek, the founder of digital music service Spotify, said: "My hat off to our time's Da Vinci." He wrote: "Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. "Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."

MUET SPEAKING TEST TIPS

2011-10-06T19:29:00.000+08:00

heyy whaddup. so, next week's the time where the MUET Speaking test will begin nationwide. I'm part of it, so it's my duty to study the contents and get prepared for it a.s.a.p. yes, i'm still in Form 5, but i guess it would be a good chance for me to take it earlier than others. not to say i'm being so "over-confidence" or bragging to people to show that i'm good in English. but the thing is i guess it'll give me a boost on further studies if let say i'll have an interview before proceeding to a tertiary level education somewhere, i can say that "hey, i've done my MUET test and i had achieved Band ? now".

so, wouldn't it be better ? in case i flunk or unhappy with my result.. i could just repeat it when i'm there. so, it should be a good try for me. i said it to myself, WHY NOT ? even my family did. it all came to a point during my debating competition was held. during training, one of my teacher brought up the news. first thought.. "er, let me think first. and oh, isn't it for Form 6 students and above ?" i'm shocked to know that even Form 5 can take it too. so, awesome. now, here. the speaking test.. mine's on the 13th October. next Thursday. I myself quite blurred by the ideas of like how the hell am i suppose to get myself prepared ? i don't go for MUET classes and i have to focus on my SPM as well. so, internet helps. therefore, let me share this. Good luck and all the best to all candidates. :)

Situation

Your brother has been given the opportunity to study in

England

on a government scholarship. You and your family are very proud of him. Decide on a special gift for him to prepare for his trip abroad.

Task A: Suggest that they give him cash. Say why.

Task B: Discuss which of the following would be most useful.

i. cash

ii. a computer

iii. some suitable clothing

iv. some Malaysian foodstuff

Candidate A

Task A: Suggest that they give him cash. Say why.

Good morning to the examiners and my fellow friends. I’m very happy that my brother has just received a scholarship to study in England. My relatives and I would like to give him a special gift. We all think that the best gift is money because it will be very useful for him.

The first reason is with cash he can buy the things that he needs when he gets there. There will me a lot of things that he will need like new books, stationery, clothes and food. He will also need to pay for transportation like taking the bus or train to go to the university campus. As we know, it is very expensive in England so any money we give him will be very useful.

Secondly, my brother can use the money to buy a mobile phone when he gets toEngland. I think this is very important in case of emergencies so we can contact him easily. Furthermore, he can sms us and keep us updated with his progress in his studies there. Hence, if we really miss him we can just give him a call.

Finally, I also think giving him money is the best choice because it is light and doesn’t take up a lot of space. If we were to give him a computer, books or winter clothes it will be very heavy and bulky for him to bring to England. Therefore, I think that it is much easier to bring money and buy those things when he gets there.

In conclusion, these are some of the reasons why I think giving him cash is the best choice. To me, it is the most useful gift we can give him. Thank you.

Candidate B

Task A: You suggest that they give him a computer. Say why.

A very good morning I bid to one and all. My relatives and I are very proud of my brother. He has just received a scholarship to study in England and so we would like to give him a special gift. We believe that the best present for him is a laptop computer.

Firstly, as a university student, my brother will have to do many assignments. If he has a laptop computer he can bring it everywhere and consequently, do his work anytime and anywhere. Thus, he will not have to share the computers at the computer room with other students and he will be able to do his work more quickly and efficiently.

Another point is that when he boards the plane from KLIA to London, he will be able to bring the laptop with him easily because it is compact and light compared to a desktop computer. Hence, it will not be too much trouble to transport it to England.

Last but not least, if he has a laptop he will be able to connect to the internet. This has two main advantages as firstly, he can do a lot of research online. The world wide web is a fountain of information so it will be very useful for him to make full use of this technology. Furthermore, he can keep in touch with friends and family here in Malaysia by e-mail.

In short, a laptop computer will prove to be very useful to my brother. He can do his assignments, research for information and keep in touch with us using it therefore it will make the best gift. Thank you for listening.

Candidate C

Task A: You suggest that they give him some suitable clothing. Say why.

To the examiners and my fellow candidates, a wonderful morning I bid you. My brother was lucky enough to receive a scholarship to study overseas. We want to send him off with a nice gift so we have decided to buy him some suitable clothing.

The main purpose for buying him some suitable clothing is because the weather in England is very different from the weather in our country. There are four seasons there so he will need to have different clothes for different situations. For example, we can buy him some sweaters, cardigans, scarves, snowcaps, thick socks and gloves and many more. These will definitely keep him warm in winter.

The second reason is we think that he should have clothes that reflect our Malaysian identity. This is because he will be a young ambassador for our country so if he has a few sets of traditional clothing like the Baju Melayu or formal Batik shirts, I am sure he will not only look good but promote our culture overseas.

Lastly, neat clothes make a good impression. For instance, if we buy him some everyday clothes like jeans and trousers with nice shirts and matching ties, this will give him a good feeling about himself so he will walk a bit straighter and talk a bit wiser. Moreover, people will look at him and have a good impression about Malaysian students.

To conclude, I think that the best present to give him is some suitable clothing because it will be very useful and will reflect positively on him. Thank you very much.

Candidate D

Task A: You suggest that they give him some Malaysian foodstuff. Say why.

I would like to wish everyone here a very good morning. As we all know, my brother has won a scholarship to study in England. Therefore, some relatives and I have decided to give him some Malaysian foodstuff as a going away present.

First and foremost, one of the main problems Malaysians face when studying overseas is that it is hard to find Halal food. We feel it is a good idea to give him some Malaysian foodstuff because it will take time for him to get used to the place and find out where to buy Halal food. Thus, in the meantime he can enjoy the Malaysian foodstuff that we have given to him.

The next reason is because some of the foodstuff we are used to having here in Malaysia is quite hard to find in UK. Most students studying overseas really enjoy eating Maggi Mee andsambal belacan. For instance, it is also hard to find the right spices for curry and rendangand so on so if we supply him with enough Malaysian foodstuff, he can eat it whenever he misses home.

The final point I have is that he can use the Malaysian foodstuff we give him and cook it for the Westerners there. Sometimes, universities organise events like Malaysian Night and so he and his friends can cook some Malaysian specialities for them to taste a bit of our way of life. Hence, the Malaysian foodstuff will be very useful to promote our culture.

In a nutshell, giving my brother Malaysian foodstuff to take with him to England is a good idea. This is because he will have some familiar food to eat when he misses home and he can also share it with his new friends. Thank you for listening to my opinion.

Task B: Discuss which of the following would be most useful.

i. Cash

ii. A computer

iii. Some suitable clothing

iv. Some Malaysian foodstuff

* Work together in your respective groups and complete the following discussion.

A: Good morning once again to everyone. We are here to focus on the issue at hand which is __________________________________________________________. I would like to invite anyone of you to kickstart this discussion by giving us your point of view.

B: Allow me to begin. First of all, I’m happy that our brother has won the scholarship to study in England. Therefore, we must decide what would be the most useful gift for him. In my opinion, I strongly believe that _______________ _________________________________________________________________. This is because I think he can _________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________.

For example, ______________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________.

C: I see your point but how about getting him ______________________________. In this way, he can use it to ___________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________.

D: I don’t quite agree with you because ____________________________________ _________________________________________________________________. I think it would be more useful if we bought _______________________ for him. Does anyone agree with me?

A: Yes, I agree with you. To add to your point, I feel that ______________________ _________________________________________________________________.

This is so he will ___________________________________________________.

C: I’m afraid I don’t see eye to eye with both of you. Buying that as a present for him is not the most useful gift because __________________________________ _________________________________________________________________.

Moreover, ________________________________________________________.

Can you all understand what I’m trying to say?

B: Indeed, I do see your point of view but I still feel that the most useful gift is __________________ because it can ___________________________________. Another reason is ___________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________. For instance, _______________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________.

D: That’s an interesting perspective and I agree with you that ___________________ _________________________________________________________________. However, I think we should consider other points. We should also think about buying him _______________________________________________________.

If he gets this as a present, he can ______________________________________ and ____________________________________________. Wouldn’t you agree?

A: I’m not sure I understand what you are saying. Can you explain it again, please.

D: What I mean is we should buy him _____________________________________ because it will me more useful for him when he is studying in

England

. This is because ___________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________.

A: Aaah… I see. Yes, I think it would be a very useful gift too. This way, he can _________________________________________________________________.

C: That’s a good point, but don’t you think if we gave him _____________________ it will be the most useful for him as a student. I still believe that this is the most useful because _____________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________.

Remember, we need to think of the best and most useful choice.

B: I agree with you, Candidate C. In addition, he can use this gift to _____________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________. So candidates A & D, what do you guys think?

D: Now that you’ve explained it like that, I also agree that it will be the most useful. In fact, he could also use it to _________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________.

A: As for me, I feel that it is also the most useful. When he arrives at his university in England, he will be able to ____________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________.

C: That’s right. Well, after listening to all the points on the four choices we have, I think it is time to make a conclusion.

D: Yes, I think so too. Does everyone agree that we should give our brother _______________________________________ as a special going away present?

All: Yes, I agree.

B: In a nutshell, we all agree that _______________________________ is the best choice because firstly, he can _________________________________________, secondly, ________________________________________________ and finally _________________________________________________________________.

Thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What to conclude if after 10 minutes of discussion….

A) AGREE = 3, DISAGREE = 1

Conclusion: To conclude, MOST OF US agree that ______________________

is the best choice because ________________________________.

___________________________________________. Thank you.

B) AGREE = 2, DISAGREE = 2

Conclusion: In conclusion, we were unable to make a solid decision because

SOME OF US stongly believe that the best choice is __________ because _______________________________________________ whileTHE REST OF US think that giving him _______________ is the most useful because _________________

___________________________________________. Thank you.

C) ALL DISAGREE

Conclusion: In a nutshell, we were unable to come to an agreement on which of the four options is the best choice. It seems ALL OF US strongly believe in our own points so as we have run out of time, we think that we should each buy him a gift individually. Thank you.

Wow or Stupid ?

2011-09-24T08:58:00.000+08:00

SCHOOLKIDS had a miracle escape as the roof of this bus was sliced off under a bridge yesterday.

Thirteen tearful youngsters and the driver were taken to hospital but none suffered life-threatening injuries. The driver misjudged the height of the railway bridge as he took 50 pupils to the Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College in Darlington, Co Durham.

Witness Tony Jones said: "The roof was peeled back as if a can opener had been used on it. There was screaming and some of the kids had cuts to the head." Terrified teens on the top deck ducked for their lives.

Residents dashed to the aid of shocked and bleeding children. One girl had a suspected broken collar bone. College principal Tim Fisher said: "It was a lucky escape." Police are investigating.

Review: Sucker Punch

2011-09-23T06:06:00.000+08:00

Verdict: 3½ / 5 rating.

If you love Charlie's Angels, then definitely you'll love this movie. Action and visual effects wise.. Great. though, compiling with drama and slow-paced plot reduced the thriller or should i say.. the 'wow' factor. The reason why i said something about Charlie's Angel is that when the action starts, it always goes by the same way... a brief by a man, quite resembles to the Charlie's Angel scenes but it goes by with fantasy effects. The plot is OKAY, though. great story shown but too slow, raising a sense of boredom to it. The BG music is good, song choice is great. kudos to that. My say is that it's a movie should watch if you love fantasy style action-shooting, love watching HOT babes in action and just love dramas for bit. well, that's the the thing :)

A movie features Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider about how they reunite after 30 years since their championship in elementary school basketball by the passing of their coach. nice thing about it is how they were all grown up, married and have children, gathered up on one weekend and have all the joy and laughter. seriously, it's a nice classic comedy movie with nice funny jokes. well, it's Adam Sandler you're talking about right ? haha. well, 4/5 rating i'll give. A round of applause to them.

Neymar Real-ly to Madrid

2011-09-20T18:31:00.000+08:00

Brazilian sources suggest the 19-year-old was Friday evening at Hospital Sao Luiz in the Sao Paulo district of Morumbi in the company of his agent, Wagner Ribeiro, and Madrid's medical chief, Carlos Diez.

It is believed that Neymar will sign on Monday the contract which will see him move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2012, this way playing the Club World Cup for Santos, in December, and being present at the club's centenary, in April.

Reports in Brazil suggest Barcelona were very close to signing Neymar in a €60 million deal, but Madrid's last-minute offer made Santos call off negotiations with the Catalan club.

Meanwhile, Wagner Ribeiro has made no secret he prefers Madrid over Barcelona as his client's destination, telling radio Transamerica: "If he was my son, I would take him to play at Real Madrid.

"That is the best option to play in Europe, because the president of Real Madrid is already rich and runs the club with passion, and I cannot say the same about Barcelona's president."

(2 Days Ago) If things are settled right on the issue of transmission Neymar to Real Madrid, as published Estadio Brazilian on the morning of the day news of the end of the deal Neymar for Real Madrid Real Madrid, here is the newspaper Wallace Spanish confirm this through the pictures taken by a doctor to Real Madrid's Barajas airport .... Were seen by Dr. Carlos Diaz, the doctor in charge to conduct medical examinations of players Almentgulwn to Real Madrid, returning from a trip to Brazil, specifically in Sao Paulo after he had conducted medical examinations of the player Neymar under your supervision in a private clinic in Brazil.

The talented youngster's agent admitted other clubs have come asking for his charged, but ruled out every single of them.

"AC Milan were interested, but they said they could not pay €45m," Ribeiro added.

"Anzhi Makhachkala also wanted to sign Neymar, but that is an ideal club for players who are older than 35. For example, Jucilei, who went to play there, is no longer remembered today and is not an option for the Brazil national team anymore."

Happy Malaysia Day .

2011-09-16T18:57:00.002+08:00

with gratitude and happiness, i wish all Malaysian Happy Malaysia Day. I am truly honored to be living in a peaceful, harmony and multi-racial country as Malaysia. it's been 53 years we had independence (Aug 31st) and 48 years since Malaya Federation and North Borneo conjoint in forming a country as known till today which is Malaysia . for that long we managed to keep it tight together as a whole and as an example to others with our tolerant, goodwill and togetherness altogether. 1Malaysia is introduced by our PM recently and that is the cause to keep things tighter and better between races and religions among us, the people, the citizen of Malaysia.

Day by day, year by year, decades by decades we allowed ourselves to gain the possibility of becoming a better country, more stabled and more civilized citizen and like our ancestors and freedom fighters used to dream of having... Prosperity in life. he have that. and i am glad to know that it stays that way, currently and continuously soon till the end of time. Malaysia had grown.. so does our people. we became better and more on knowledge, skills and forward in terms of actions and living skills as well. a better person, a better country and as an example to others is what we aim to achieve and therefore will be achieved soon in time. as what the former Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed had quoted once, "by the Vision 2020, we will achieve a higher standard of living, thinking, learning and technology toward the better Malaysia."

i believe, in time.. we soon will have that. slowly and steadily. one step at a time and in a blink, we won't notice the changes. So, i wish you Malaysia and the citizen... Happy Malaysia Day. any how, Malaysia Boleh. as this is Tanah Tumpahnya Darahku. I Love You All. Salam.

Full text of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's speech of ISA abolished.

2011-09-16T18:13:00.001+08:00

My beloved Malaysians,

1.Praise be to God, with His permission and kindness, we are able to observe the 48th anniversary of the formation of Malaysia as an independent, sovereign, democratic, peaceful and prosperous nation.

2. The story of Malaysia is colourful indeed. We have evolved from a low-income agricultural country at birth into a moderately high-income modern industrialised nation today, as a result of systematic planning and sustainable implementation. Although our success has been monumental and most significant, it does not give us any reason to stop trying, feel satisfied and comfortable or take it easy.

3. For the continued survival and prosperity of the people in the highly competitive world of today, let us redouble our efforts to improve the national competitiveness through creativity and innovation and by stretching our resources in creating new wealth based on independent entrepreneurship. It may not be able to realise all these objectives without national unity, peace, stability and harmony.

My beloved Malaysians,

4. Reflecting on history, when the country achieved independence 54 years ago and became Malaysia six years thence with Sabah and Sarawak, many local people and foreign observers questioned whether a new nation, with half the population living below the poverty line, having a demographic diversity of unusual complexity, separated by the South China Sea and threatened with a communist uprising, could remain intact as a nation state, let alone be successful.

5. Evidently, Malaysia's achievements thus far, garnered through trial and error, were destined to be full of challenges. Looking at history, like a miracle in the early age of a newly independent nation, the challenges became all the more acute with the early adoption of a system and philosophy of national administration based on parliamentary democracy, constitutional monarchy and a federation when the acculturation process had yet to mature.

6. Prior to independence, the people of the 13 states which came together to form Malaysia never had the opportunity to choose a ruling government or even the pattern of its administration. Their existence was merely as citizens of colonial states accorded limited political privileges at the discretion of the administrators. Certainly, this is not a genuine political right arising from the citizenship of an independent and sovereign state.

7. Before independence, the people were given limited opportunity to choose their representatives, first in the municipal elections of 1952 and then in the election of some members of the federal legislative council in 1955. It was only after 1959, following independence, that the people began to be given the full right and responsibility to elect all members of the Dewan Rakyat and state legislative assemblies with the absolute discretion in determining the party that would form the government.

My beloved Malaysians,

8. Of course, we should be thankful because, from time to time, we were able to overcome every internal and external impediment which threatened democracy and personal freedom, such as the communist uprising, confrontation against the formation of Malaysia, racial riots, economic recession, religious extremism or racial chauvinism through prudent, democratic action based on the principles of supremacy of the constitution and rule of law.

9. It should also be remembered that during that period it never at all occurred to the government to switch the existing system of parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy to any anti-democratic system, no matter how tough the challenges faced. As recorded in the chronology of the country, owing to the May 13 tragedy, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, acting on the advice of the Prime Minister then in accordance with Article 150 of the Federal Constitution, declared an emergency.

10. One of the effects arising from the declaration of the 1969 emergency was that the uncompleted election process in Sabah and Sarawak was suspended. The subsequent development was that the Dewan Rakyat elections were carried out within a period of approximately 20 months later and the system of Parliamentary Democracy was revived when the country was stable again.

11. Nevertheless, the late Tun Abdul Razak, as the Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister then, who was entrusted to head the National Operations Council or MAGERAN, with absolute executive and legislative powers, never had the intention to retain the power longer than necessary.

12. It was abundantly clear that the late Tun together with his colleagues then were fully aware that the limitless extraordinary powers that they held could not be made a habitude for the sake of our beloved country's future. Instead, they appreciated that the absolute power was merely a trust to curb and prevent any tragedy and chaos.

My beloved Malaysians,

13. In fact, as a country that practices parliamentary democracy, the power to determine which political party would form the government, whether at the federal or state level, lies absolutely and without exception in the hands of the people. After more than 50 years of independence and almost five decades of Malaysia's formation, we find that the experience, maturity and wisdom of the people in the country in choosing a government that could ensure that the future they aspired for could not be denied by anyone else.

14. In fact, I have often pointed out that the era where the government knew everything and owned a monopoly on wisdom has long gone. The revolution in the fields of information technology, development in communication and sophistication in transportation had opened up competition as well as a wide and dynamic comparison in the ideas market.

15. Currently, public access to all levels of education is expanding in line with the corpus of knowledge that they possess. At the same time, sustainable economic growth, the reduction in the poverty rate and the social engineering initiatives and their effectiveness, have succeeded in raising the standard of living and created a significant middle class. Now, the preference and requirements of Malaysians have undergone massive changes compared to four or five decades ago.

16. Moving further ahead, administering a nation that emerged from the independence driven by the wishes of the people, the government is now committed towards upholding the system of Parliamentary Democracy, Constitutional Monarchy, rule of law, the federation philosophy and principles of checks and balances between the three branches of the government.

My beloved Malaysians,

17. As many of you know, except for the emergency resulting from the (Indonesian) Confrontation of 1964 which has been implicitly revoked, all proclamations of emergency before this are still in force. Hence, realising the changing realities, taking the pulse of the nation and feeling the restlessness of the people aspiring for a more open Malaysia with a dynamic democracy where the views, ideas and concerns of the masses are given greater attention so that our system would be comparable to the other democracies of the world that are based on the philosophy "of the people, by the people, and for the people", the government will present a motion, under Clause 3 Article 150 of the Federal Constitution, to the two houses of Parliament for the three proclamations of emergency to cease being in force. It is time for Malaysia to forge ahead with a new paradigm based on new hope and not be constrained by nostalgia for the past.

18. In our nation building, while facing extraordinary circumstances threatening the security of the country and the well-being of the people, sometimes measures outside the norms of democracy had been called for. For example, preventive detention. Prudence in handling terrorism calls for preventive measures to protect innocent lives and property. This is a universally accepted truth.

19. From an Islamic perspective, this (preventive principle) is contained in the Syariah law aimed at protecting religion, lives, minds, ancestry and dignity, and property. The discipline of Syariah methodology deals at length with the need to prevent evil. One principle states that the ruler was entrusted to make a decision for the good of the many.

20. This is not anything strange, unusual or isolated. Advanced democratic nations like the United States and United Kingdom had formulated special legislation to handle terrorism after the September 11 tragedy.

21. The checks and balances that must exist in a modern democracy are between national security and personal freedom. Finding the right balance is the duty and responsibility of a government whose highest objective is the wellbeing of the people.

22. For example, the freedom of expression guaranteed in the Federal Constitution does not mean a right to slander and stoke the fires of hate. The government is also responsible, to take another example, of preventing anyone in a packed stadium raising a false alarm of a bomb. An out-of-control freedom like this will cause panic leading to injury and loss of lives. My beloved Malaysians,

23. I promised in the maiden speech I made when I took over as the country's Prime Minister on April 3, 2009, that the Internal Security Act (ISA) 1960 will be reviewed comprehensively. As such, I would like to announce on this historic night that the Internal Security Act (ISA) 1960 will be abolished.

24. As a means of preventing subversive activities, organised terrorism and crime to maintain peace and public order, two new pieces of legislation will be formulated under Article 149 of the Federal Constitution. Basically, these laws will be aimed at maintaining peace and wellbeing.

25. Above all, the government will ensure that the rights of those involved will be safeguarded. Legislation formulated will take into consideration fundamental rights and freedom based on the Federal Constitution. The new laws will provide for a substantially shorter duration of police custody and further detention can only be made with a court order, except laws pertaining to terrorism which will remain under the jurisdiction of the minister.

26. On the other hand, the government also gives its commitment that no individual will be arrested merely on the point of political ideology. In general, the power to extend the detention period will shift from the executive to judiciary, except for the laws pertaining to terrorism.

27. In this context, besides abolishing the Internal Security Act (ISA) 1960, the government will also abolish the Banishment Act 1959 and review several other laws to ensure that they meet current requirements. Hence, we will not hesitate to amend or abolish laws that are no longer relevant.

28. The comprehensive review will involve the Restricted Residence Act 1933 and the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 where the annual renewal principle will be abolished and replaced with the issuance of a licence until and unless revoked. The government will also review Section 27 of the Police Act 1967 by taking into consideration the provision under Article 10 of the Federal Constitution on freedom of assembly, but with a principle that is strongly against street demonstration. Nevertheless, the approval to assemble will be given in accordance with methods that will be outlined later and after taking into consideration international norms.

My beloved Malaysians,

29. As a country, Malaysia and its citizens are at a crossroads. The choice we make today will determine the fate and the future facade of Malaysia, the motherland which we will pass on to our children and the generations to come. The question is, can we rise beyond, and challenge, conventional wisdom that we as plural Malaysians, with varying economic status and political ideologies, can come to a consensus to not to bow and give in to the ember of hatred and suspicions, which will surely drag us to the valley of disgrace. On the other hand, come and let us power a future that is filled with hope and dignity.

30. Let us have faith, that it is a strength and not a weakness to put our trust in the wisdoms of Malaysians in determining our future. If we take this as a mistake, what then is the meaning of our achievement today, what is the use of planning the country's development in a structured way since merdeka, what is the use of spending most of the country's resources each year to give access to quality education to the people, to free the people from the clasp of poverty, to build physical infrastructure and world-class information communication technology?

31. The answer is clear, that is, the measures which I have just announced are a precursor to an orderly and prudent political transformation. This is an important and necessary complement to the initiatives in the economic field and public delivery which the government has formulated and implemented since more than two years back in the effort to move towards becoming a modern and progressive nation.

32. What is certain is that time is not too early neither it is too late; this is the most opportune time for us to make and implement these major changes. We are absolutely aware that, although some my think it is risky, we are doing this for our survival after 50 years of independence, after nearly five decades of Malaysia's nationhood. We are indeed galloping forth towards our destination to become a full-fledged developed nation.

My beloved Malaysians,

33. Finally, I would like to stress in no uncertain term that Malaysia which we dream of and one that we are currently building, is Malaysia which practices functional and inclusive democracy, where peace and public order are safeguarded in line with the supremacy of the Constitution, the rule of law and respect for basic human rights and individual rights.

For Malaysia, let's do our best and leave the rest to God. Wabillahitaufik Walhidayah Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Thank you.

ISA is abolished.

2011-09-16T18:03:00.000+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: Several draconian laws including the ISA and the three Emergency proclamations are to be repealed under major civil liberty reforms announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on Thursday.

The historic changes, he stressed, were to accommodate and realise a mature, modern and functioning democracy; to preserve public order; enhance civil liberty and maintain racial harmony.

The changes, which represent the biggest shake-up of the Malaysian system since independence from Britain in 1957, were announced by the Prime Minister in a prime-time television address on the eve of celebrations marking the anniversary of the foundation of modern Malaysia.

The reforms include:

*Total repeal of the Internal Security Act

The legislation, introduced in 1960 in the wake of an armed insurgency by Communist rebels, gives the police wide-ranging powers to detain suspects indefinitely.

It will be replaced by a new law that incorporates far more judicial oversight and limits the powers of the police to detain suspect for preventive reasons.

37 people are currently being held under the ISA. There will be a six-month transition period while the new laws are introduced, after which their cases will be considered under the new legislation.

*Total repeal of the Emergency Ordinance

Introduced following race riots in 1969, the Emergency Ordinance, which allows suspects to be detained without charge for up to two years if permission is granted by a Minister.

This too will be replaced by a law that will not compromise on national security and terrorism while increasing democratic accountability and judicial oversight.

*Removal of annual renewal of press and publication permits

All licences will now remain valid indefinitely unless they are revoked, in common with broadcasting regulations in many Western nations.

*Government to review Section 27 of the Police Act 1967

The Malaysian constitution guarantees the right to freedom of peaceful assembly. The law requires police permission before gatherings can go ahead, including on private land such as stadiums. This law will now be reviewed to bring Malaysia in line with international standards while ensuring that the police retain the power to prevent violent scenes on the nation's streets.

A host of other laws, including those governing banishment and residence, will also be abolished or reviewed. Any law found to be no longer relevant or justifiable will be repealed.

it's abolished already . Happy now ? lol

lol funny Singh Jokes :))

2011-09-14T16:41:00.000+08:00

One Singh was enjoying the sun at the beach in America . A lady came
and asked him, " Are you relax-ing?" Singh answered, "No, I am Banta
Singh". Another guy came and asked the him the same question. Singh
answered, "No No Me Banta Singh!" Third one came and asked him the
same question again.
Singh was totally annoyed and decided to shift his place. While
walking he saw another Singh soaking in the sun. He went up to him
and asked, "Are you Relaxing? The other Singh was a lot more educated
and answered, "Yes, I am relaxing."
The Singh slapped him on his face and said, "Stupid, idiot. Everyone
is looking for you and your are sitting over here!"

****************************

A Singh died and went to heaven. When he got to the pearly gate Saint
Peter told him that new rules were in effect due to the advances in
education on earth. In order to gain admittance a prospective
heavenly soul, he must answer two questions:

1. Name two days of the week that begin with "T".
2. How many seconds are in a year?

The Singh thought for a few minutes and answered... 1. The two days
of the week that begin with "T" are Today and Tomorrow. 2. There are
12 seconds in a year.

Saint Peter said, "OK, I'll buy the Today and Tomorrow answer, even
though it's not the answer I expected. But how did you get 12 seconds
in a year?"

The Singh replied, "Well, January 2nd, February 2nd, March
2nd,etc.." Saint Peter lets him in without another word.

*********************************

Jasmeet Kaur caught her husband Santa Singh searching high and low
all around his living room. Jasmeet : "What are you searching for?"
Santa : "Hidden cameras!" Jasmeet : "And what makes you think that
there are hidden cameras here?" Santa : "That guy on TV knows exactly
what I am doing. Why every few minutes he keeps saying 'You are
watching CNN'. How does he know that?"

**********************************

Having lost his donkey a Singh, got down to his knees and started
thanking God. A passerby saw him and asked, "Your donkey is missing;
what are you thanking God for ?" The Singh replied "I am thanking Him
for seeing to it that I wasn't riding the donkey at that time,
otherwise I would have been missing too."

**********************************

Sardar Gurbachan Singh is appearing for his University final
examination. He takes his seat in the examination hall, stares at the
question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration
takes his shoes off and throws them out of the window. He then
removes his turban and throws it away as well. His shirt, pant, socks
and watch follow suit. The invigilator, alarmed, approaches him and
asks what is going on. Oye, I am only following the instructions
here"! It says here "Answer the following questions in brief".

*************************************

Two Singhs were sitting outside a clinic. One of them was crying like
hell.
So the other asked, "Why are you crying?"
The first one said, "I came here for blood test"
Second one asked, "So? Are you afraid "
First one replied, " No, not that. During the blood test they cut my
finger"
Hearing this the second one started crying. The first one was
stonished and asked the other, Why are you crying?"
The other replied, "I have come for my urine test."

**************************************

Funny Thing About Dato Seri Samy Vellu

2011-09-14T16:33:00.001+08:00

Dato Seri Samy Vellu finally and officially resigned from his post as the longest MIC President ever, after leading the party for almost 31 years. Frankly, I will miss him very much especially for all the funny quotes he made all these years. Like what our Prime Minister said in the 2010 Barisan Nasional Conference, “We will miss DS Samy Vellu because he add a lot of color … sometimes a bit too much color”. Therefore, as a token of appreciation, I just wanna share some of the more famous quotes ever made by the one and only, Samy Vellu.

1. Samy Velu quoted on Pos Laju:
"Besoh kirim, hari ini juga sampai"

2. On one TV news when he tried to say he felt very ashamed:
"Ini prekara sangat memalukan saya dan kemaluan saya sangat-sangat la besar"

3. Samy said in one of his “ceramah”:
"Kita akan bina satu jambatan wuntuk worang2 kampong di sini." Then one pakcik asked, "Datuk, sini takde sungai, buat apa bina jambatan?" And Samy gloriously replied, "Kalao takde sungai, kita bina sungai"

4. Samy's most favourite quote on the news for the decade is this:
"Toll naik sikit, banyak marah saya. You worang ingat semua ini toll saya punyer bapah punya kah!”

5. During water crisis:
"Semua worang diminta jangan membuang aiyerr!"

6. On social society's problem:
"Worang2 muda sekarang banyak suka hisap dade"

7. During blood donation's program at Sungai Siput:
"Marilah kita semua menderma dare"

8. His welcome speech in most of his functions:
"Selamat datang saudara-mara semua" (It should have been “saudara-saudari”)

9. During the height of the Al-Arqam's saga, he said in a press conference:
"Saya gumbira bahawa didapati tiada pemuda MIC terlibat dalam kes Arqam"

10. At an opening ceremony for a new building:
"Mempersilakan Datin Paduka Rafidah Aziz naik dari pentas wuntuk membuka kain"

And of course the world's greatest joke of all times:

"Kita akan bina roket pigi matahari." One of the reporter responded, "Tapi Datuk, matahari terlalu panas untuk didekati." Samy replied, "Itu tade masalah. Kita hantar waktu malam"

There you are folks. For DS Samy Vellu, we wish you all the best!

Apple = Steve Jobs. Where The Story Began .

2011-08-27T07:42:00.008+08:00

INNOVATIVE design has always driven Apple forward. With computers, they have gone from the boxy Apple II via the compact Macintosh Plus and stylish iBook laptop to the current-day iMac. The iPod was born in 2001, followed by the iPhone in 2007 and the iPad in April 2010. The iCloud storage system is set to be a future hit.

It is the latest chapter in what is an extraordinary life story.

Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, to Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian student and later political scientist now known as John, and Joanne Carole Schieble. It was the 1950s and the couple were young and unmarried so the baby boy was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. He retold his adoption story during a now famous address to Stanford University in the US in 2005.

He said: "My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student and she decided to put me up for adoption.

"She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. "Except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.

"So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, 'We have an unexpected baby boy - do you want him?' They said, 'Of course'.

"My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college."

Jobs grew up in the town of Mountain View, California, among the fruit orchards that would one day become the technology hub Silicon Valley.

A(pple) team ... Steve Jobs with co-founder Steve Wozniak

The Bob Dylan fan showed an early interest in electronics. As a teenager he phoned William Hewlett, president of computer firm Hewlett-Packard, to ask for parts for a school project. He also landed a summer job with the firm where, as a 14-year-old in 1969, he befriended 19-year-old engineer Steve Wozniak.

Wozniak remembered: "We talked electronics, we talked about music we liked and we traded stories about pranks we'd pulled. "Typically, it was really hard for me to explain to people the kind of design stuff I worked on, but Steve got it right away. And I liked him. He was kind of skinny and wiry and full of energy." Jobs' parents then funded studies at Reed College, Oregon.

But despite his biological mother's wish for him to complete a college education, the future billionaire dropped out after just six months, later claiming it was "one of the best decisions I ever made". After spending time sleeping on friends' floors, he became interested in Eastern mysticism and took mind-altering drug LSD.

He said the acid trips were "one of the two or three most important things" he had done in his life. He began working for video game makers Atari before embarking on a spiritual trek to India. Aged 20, he took over his parents' garage and started Apple, copying the name of the record label of his beloved Beatles.

Groundbreaking ... Steve Jobs with Apple's Macintosh Plus in 1984

A year later, in 1976, Jobs and Wozniak designed the Apple I. In contrast to the firm's now obsessive design detail, the Apple I had no keyboard or display monitor and customers had to assemble it themselves. More models followed before the Macintosh became a 1980s sales hit. But Jobs was a hard taskmaster and clashed frequently with colleagues. He was ousted from Apple in 1986 following internal power struggles and a slump in sales.

However, by 1996 he was back at the then-struggling firm, which had come close to going under. In 2001, Jobs masterminded the launch of the iPod, which revolutionised portable music and kick-started Apple's commercial comeback. The firm have now sold more than 300million iPods.

Away from Apple, Jobs married Laurene Powell in 1991 in a Zen Buddhist ceremony. They have three children and Jobs has another born in 1978 to a San Francisco painter. Despite his huge professional success, Jobs has long been dogged by ill health. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003 and had surgery to remove a tumour.

Nice (i)Pad ... California home where Jobs founded Apple with Steve Wozniak

In 2009 he underwent a liver transplant - a possible consequence of the cancer drugs - but after taking time out to recover, he returned to the helm at Apple. It is Jobs' extraordinary vision and courage that has enabled him to revolutionise technology.

He once said: "Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. "Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." On the release of the iPhone in 2007, Jobs insisted the handsets were "revolutionary and magical". His genius at branding and promotion has helped Apple sell more than 100million iPhones worldwide. Despite Jobs' track record with the iPod and iPhone, many failed to see the potential of Apple's tablet computer, the iPad. Critics panned it as little more than an "enlarged iPhone" when it was launched in April 2010.

But Jobs was not for turning and Apple are expected to sell more than 44million iPads in 2011 alone having seen it establish itself as the go-to digital platform for newspapers, magazines and video. On August 9, Apple briefly surpassed ExxonMobil to become the world's most valuable company. Google chairman Eric Schmidt said of Jobs yesterday: "He uniquely combined an artist's touch and an engineer's vision to build an extraordinary company - one of the greatest American leaders in history."

Stephen Fry, a long-time admirer of Jobs, said: "I don't think there is another human being on the planet who has been more influential in the last 30 years on the way culture has developed." In June - returning from open-ended medical leave - Jobs launched the iCloud, a system that can store all electronic content wirelessly on Apple servers and "push" them to your devices.

It is a typical piece of Steve Jobs innovation - daring, groundbreaking and a technology that could soon be in every home. Jobs may have stepped down from Apple's frontline, but his spirit of innovation will still be what drives the company into the future.

APPLE boss Steve Jobs sensationally RESIGNED as the company's chief executive last night.

The computer genius, 55, has been on medical leave since January 17 for an undisclosed condition.The announcement will raise inevitable speculation about his long-term health.Jobs wrote in his resignation letter: "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know."Unfortunately, that day has come."But the super-boffin, who co-founded the tech giant in a garage in 1976, will remain as chairman.Jobs battled pancreatic cancer in 2004 and had a liver transplant in 2007.

Cancer

Apple quickly announced his successor would be Tim Cook, the company's Chief Operating Officer.Jobs added in his letter: "I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

i have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you. "Jobs also oversaw the firm's renaissance with the iPod, iPhone and iPad.Industry analyst Ashok Kumar said Jobs' timing of his resignation was worrying for the firm's future. He said: "It's just ahead of the iPhone 5 release. The fact he is stepping down now is not a good sign."

Cook joined Apple in 1998. As operating chief, his oversight included sales, manufacturing and distribution."The the world will see in the next several years that Tim is a very uniquely gifted guy and Apple will be wildly successful under his leadership," said John Connors, a venture capitalist at Ignition Partners, who serves on the Nike Inc. board with Cook.
