Why Donate?

26 05 2008

In MyPaper today…

Consider these facts:

1) China has US$15 trillion in reserve.

2) China has enough funds to allocate US$11 billion to rebuild the houses and etc for the earthquake victims.

3) China also has donated US$15 million to Myanmar.

So why are we donating to China instead of Myanmar???

Some rich M’sians own 700 cars each. Me? = 0

22 04 2008

ABOUT 30 rich men in the country own between 100 and 700 cars each, reported China Press.

Quoting sources from the Road Transport Department (JPJ), the daily reported that these men registered the vehicles under their names for collection purposes.

One of the sources believes the owners had bought the cars to avoid paying income tax. Most of these cars were not used as some owners did not even renew their road tax.

He also questioned the roadworthiness of such cars since most of them seldom appeared on the road.

Of the 10 million registered car owners in the country, one-third of them owned more than one car, based on JPJ statistics for the first quarter of the year.

Some 78,000 drivers possess five cars each while another 1,589 drivers own 10 cars each.

ICQ, remember??

19 03 2008

Everyone remembers ICQ, the first widely-used instant messaging application that’s all but dead in most of the world now. The Israeli software company that developed the suite before it was purchased by AOL has just partnered with a big Israeli pharmacy company called CTS to release this ICQ toothpaste, which our tipster claims will “help P2P communication (person to person) while reducing bad breath.” Weird, yet really really cool…

Before a discount, the 92-octane grade is at $2.053 a litre, 95 at $2.086 and 98 at $2.16. Diesel is now at $1.613 a litre. Shell’s V-Power has risen by 3 cents to $2.279.

JI leader escaped, without Michael Scofield

28 02 2008

The massive overnight manhunt for Singapore’s most wanted fugitive

Mas Selamat Kastari was still on this morning, more than 17 hours after the leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terror group here, escaped from the Internal Security Department’s Detention Centre at Whitley Road at 4.05 pm yesterday.

Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng told Parliament earlier today that the JI militant escaped while he was brought to meet his family who was visiting him at the detention centre.

While being led to the room to meet his family, he asked to go to the toilet and gave his escorting officers the slip. The public was informed of his escape only about four hours later because the authorities said he posed no ‘imminent danger to the public’ at the time. The fugitive is said to walk with a limp and is not known to be armed.

QUESTION: How did someone who walks with a limp managed to escape?

I wonder if the escorts are really doing their job well. How could they let such a high profile wanted militant escape the detention center?! Moreoever he was limping!!

If this is a planned escape, I think he should be out of the country by now. But if this is just a opportunity and everything wasn’t planned, then I guess he is still somewhere in the jungle and not found yet.

The related authorities should look into what went wrong and improve or tightened the security. (They should also check whether Michael Scofield was the one who helped him with the escape. LOL! Just joking :P ) This doesn’t reflect too well on the country’s security at all.

Moreover we just got the chance to host the Youth Olympics. Imagine what will happen if something really went wrong during the event. I don’t have to elaborate further. You should know the consequences we are going to face.

Let’s all hope the police will apprehend him as soon as possible, else it will be disastrous!

“God, I rode a bike and I’m here to see you!”

29 01 2008

Last year, approximately around 2 motorcyclists died every week and also every now and then you open the newspapers, you’ll see headers like: S’porean dies in bike accident, Biker found dead under lorry.. so on and so forth…

Is it that bad riding a motorcycle?

To be fair, I’ve seen motorcyclists weaving in and out of traffic dangerously and have seen drivers going too close to the riders. Maybe they thought by doing this, they will be able to reach their destination in a shorter time. True enough, they saw God sooner then we thought. Don’t forget that motorcyclists are ’skin cover metal’.

Thats the reason why my parents will NEVER allow me to own a bike. Not even mentioning the licence :(





HIV Girl??

28 01 2008

First is Susan Chua from SBM then Tammy from SIT. Now lei?? Someone from ECC supected to kana sex scandel again. My school really excel from academical results to non-academical sex related scandals. (buay tarhan -.-”)

I’m not too sure if its true yet. Found this piece of news at a thread of a popular forum. Quite shocking also luh.. The person who wrote the notice even spend the time to print and paste it around Tampines Mall toliet. Then also quite detailed with the girls particulars with her name, address, pictures everything. Somemore got friendster address at the bottom of the notice.

Maybe this guy really kana cheated then no choice wanna warn others about it. Hope it will just end here.

I always feel that if there’s nothing wrong with you, people won’t just go around maligning you saying things that discredits you as a person thus making you look bad. Unless you really sway, someone really hates you to the core wants you dead, made out some crappy sex story about you and paste it all over town with your pictures on it. Thats too bad. Call the police.

I don’t know also luh.. Just my opinion here. Hope this news is fake. Otherwise I don’t know how this girl is going to face the rest of her family and friends. So damn disgraceful know. Imagine tio HIV already still kana posters and notices all over the place with your face on it saying that you got AIDS.

I’ll be glad to remove this post if it’s just a piece of made up story. But for now, I guess I’ll just leave it here and hope it will serve a warning to the rest.

Worried About Finals This Year?

27 01 2008

Final year exams are coming to a corner and accounting for around 40 percent of my final grade. What makes the situation worst is that my exams are just right after the CNY. The pressure to make the grade increases exponentially.

However I’ve some solutions to share:

1) Stay Away from Stimulant Drugs!

These include caffeine, ephedrine, cocaine, etc…

Many stimulants may be part of your everyday diet, and it’s ok to use your normal amount. The problem arises when you use stimulants to stay awake studying for long periods of time. You may have trouble digesting the information you need to absorb. The worst case scenario is that you stay up so long that you finally crash during the test and give a crappy performance.

If you generally rely on stimulants to stay awake or be more alert, try to change a few daily activities and get a natural boost. Exercise, stay away from saturated fats and sugar, and get a full night of rest each day.

2) Carefully Choose Your Study “Setting”

Your setting will be the location of your cram sessions. Everyone has unique study preferences. Some prefer music while others enjoy total silence. Do you like to lie around, or is a large desk necessary? Take all of your considerations into account before going to your location. You don’t want to be stuck in an unaccommodating setting when your grades are on the line.

3) Don’t Worry, Be Happy

Stop stressing. Think positive. Visualize taking the exam while confident and relaxed. KNOW that you have the mental ability to do well. All this is easy to say, but hard to do. If you have trouble, talk to a trusted friend for reassurance. Mothers tend to be pretty good giving you positive feedback when asked.

4) Get Your Priorities in Order

You have a certain amount of time, and a big load to study.

Do you know what classes are most important? And what information in the class should be focused on? Make a list of your studying priorities and stick to it.

5) Time for Time Management

You’ve got your list of priorities, but limited time. Create a schedule of where you will be located and what you’ll be studying. Be sure to work in some short breaks to stretch your muscles and stay alert.

Stick to the schedule. Make no sudden emotional changes to the schedule since this will likely cause a loss of valuable time.

6) Don’t Study with Your Crush

I know studying for an important test is a great excuse to spend time with that person you find really attractive.

However, don’t use it when cramming, no matter what. I know it’s even harder if they ask YOU to study.

Just DON’T DO IT! You have enough distractions in your life right now as it is.

7) Pray Hard!

Lastly, pray hard! Like what the Bible tells us.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
-Philippians 4:6-7

All the best for the exams! :)
