Although the savings on electricity is not that significant for city dwellers like me, but I think a small move from everyone can create some sort of awareness on saving our mother earth.
Try n see if you can find me in the photo, I was 10 y/o when the photo is taken.
昨天看了Kate Winslet得奖之作，The Reader. 觉得这部电影其实拍得还不错，特别是它的故事内容，难怪能够被提名为奥斯卡最佳影片，虽然没得奖，但我觉得它绝对值得一看。或许这部片子可能对一些人说会比较沉闷，但我倒不觉得。有一幕我还觉得蛮感人的。可能是我比较多愁善感吧。The Reader可以说是一部悲伤的爱情故事。男主角在故事的后半部，终于鼓起勇气去面对与他曾有一段情的Hannah时，很可惜，他让Hannah看见他勉强的表情...是我觉得比较感人的一幕。有一点我也不明白，为什么Hannah把她不识字的秘密，看得如此重，可能这让她带来强烈的自卑感，她宁愿不顾一切，也不让其他人知道她的秘密。
Posting some old pics, just to share some interesting gifts that I received this year. The towel is from my sister-in-law, very pratical stuff, somemore the towel is sewed with my name on it. I have no idea how she manage to do it. :) (she said it was done by sewing machine)
This is a Chritmas Gift from my department regional director. The book is really a good stuff, it is a hardcover "Hot, Flat and Crowded", a book that is written by Thomas L. Friedman after the best seller - "The World is Flat", which I have recommended a lot of friends to read the book.
朋友拿到了几张免费的张惠妹演唱会票，邀请我一齐去，实在是太荣幸了。那是Rm238的票，所以不至于坐在很后面，位置算很好了，自己也不舍得买那么贵的票。
Wrote a letter of complain to Subway.
An old school mate of mine told me she got some free tickets for Ah Mei for next Friday, ask me if I want to join? My answer of course is "Yes lah!". I won't pay RM200 for the tickets, but if is free, I don't have to think too much, for sure will attend. Last time she also offered me free Sarah Brightman's concert tickets, too bad I already bought it. :(
Hankook V8RS Ventus
Today I bought the French designed 'Delsey Insect backpack' after I saw the very-tempting price tag, it is only RM250, down from the retail price of RM375. Last time I almost buy it in Singapore when they give away 20% discount, but still the bag will cost around Rm300. There were only 2 bags left on the shelf, so I just grab one of it after inspecting the two. I gave myself an excuse that I will use the Delsey for working purpose, and my High Sierra backpack which I bought last year for gym purpose. (Sigh, everytime when I buy things, I always need an excuse)
The compartment strap is very simple and practical, one strap on the laptop compartment will stop the laptop falling off.
Frankly speaking, I love the little pouches on the left and right, it is so practical! I used it to store some little things which is cheap and I need easy access to, I can also put a deck of playing cards, sun block, cotton buds, etc inside the pouch during my trip to Cambodia. 
The High Sierra bagpack comes with some "Suspension Strap System", it is not registered with trade mark. So there is nothing to shout about. But one thing I would say is the High Sierra strap system is quite comfortable when you carry the bag.
Look at the 3 spots padding on the back of the backpack. It defintely gives you enough cushioning for your laptop. Also, the bag is very comfortable when you carry it. Now, we look at the Delsey Insect backpack, which the design was inspired by Insect, you can see the backpack looks like a beetle's shell.
The Insect backpack is expandable. The design of the zip is to expand the capacity of the bag, take a close look at the zip, the design might not be something new but it is brilliant.
The bigger RM375 Delsey definitely not meant for a laptop with 12.1 inch screen. I think a 15.4 inch laptop will suit the bag perfectly. The compartment comes with 3 confusing straps. Personally, I think it is redundant, I believe those who buy this kind of bag with laptop compartment very obvious they are not going to bring the laptop and backpack with them for mountain climbing. You don't need 3 straps to increase the stability. Removing the two extra straps perhaps can reduce the price to RM365? RM10 extra labor and material saved from there.
The rear part of the backpack. Here is another redundancy. Look at the wrist strap padding. Everytime when I carry the bag, I need to remove the padding so it can face outside protecting my 'love handle'. They could have just put a simple strap there like High Sierra, or make use of the room and create a pouch there. No doubt, the material used is very good!
I am not sure if this is related with workmanship or the design issue, to me is a bit on workmanship. The rear part tends to 'sink', leaving the structure looks deformed in a way. So when you carry the bag, you feel that your back doesn't feel that comfortable compare to High Sierra due to u back is touching the frame instead of the padding.
When two weeks of rain was poured in two hours time, here is what happened!
Look at the two units of 5 series, if the new 5 series is mine, I 'cry also no tears'(cantonese) if my RM400k car soaked in mud water like that.
Hmmm.. Let me guess, Myvi?
I took the above shot with my i-Phone before the concert start. I think the hall is only 60% full. Those who paid for RM253 tickets later on filled up the seats in RM300-600 range. Sigh... I think the turnout could be better if the ticket is not too expensive and the economy is not that bad.
小弟不是什么经济专才，不过对于如何整顿咱们的经济，阁下想提出几点建议：1。 砍废材，节约开支
拜托政府把公务员人数降一降，把一些‘废材’砍掉，把人才留住。我们国家没有比人大，但是公务员人数比人多。一年到头养那么多废材，不知道干嘛。政府部门不是善堂，部门不是建来解决失业问题的。没有效率的流程要检讨。
2。 降公司税！废除30%土著固打
你们正在考虑降公司为员工缴交12%公积金是愚蠢的做法，他妈的也不知道哪一位蠢蛋想这种方法出来，要知道有很多低收入的一群每月工资都花得精光，没有积蓄，如果公积金的钱少，难道你们这些宦官养他们吗？与其降低员工公积金，不如考虑降公司税，要知道我们的公司税比香港，新加坡来得高。来这里经商除了要缴二十几%的税，还要抽出30%股份给一些等着坐享其成的“土著“分一杯羹，哪里有那么好的事？人家新加坡公司为雇员缴的公积金多过12%，几乎接近20%，工资又高很多，不见得人家吸引不到外资？
3。降所得税！
你想我们多花钱，那么就别抽太重的税。 许多人都把多余的钱投在七到九年的汽车贷款，其实已经是变相抽税了。当他们把1/3的收入花在供车，有者月入3千就去买七万块钱的车，服了！因为这样disposable income有限，惟有减税才能让他们有更多闲钱消费。
4。杜绝贪污！
State capitol building was 'locked out'? What a joke!
