Was pretty occupied recently, watching the J-Drama “Proposal Daisakusen”. It’s about:

I don’t really watch J-Drama. I got to know about this one from my local TV which is airing it. I loved the plot and continued to watch. After watching, I am certain this is the most touching drama I had ever even watched. Tears would flow out from my eyes through out every episode. The main actor and actress have this chemistry between them. They are very matched. Even the theme song seems to match the drama a lot. Not that I like the cowardly self the main actor was, but I appreciate the effort he eventually put in to correct the mistakes that he did. The way he tried so hard to win back the girl’s heart made me feel ashamed.

Can a family man with Salary RM3,000 survive in Malaysia? Let’s do some simple calculations here.

Let’s use a calculator to total up… WALAO EH! Shit! RM3,610 already…
EPF belum potong, income tax lagi……..oledi RM3,610 ….
How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???
Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?
How to change? Don’t eat? Don’t work? Don’t send children to school and study?
Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don’t earn RM3,000/month!!!
What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh… Sorry … it should be Malaysians Boleh , because we’re still alive and kicking!!
Our politicians must be mad!!!!
Please forward and comment boleh or tak boleh. No wonder so many Ah Loong around lah….

To help Malaysians combat their burden resulting from the price hike, the government has agreed to give the following annual rebates to vehicle owners whose driving license are renewable between April 1 2008 and March 31 2009.

1. Owners of vehicles of 2000cc of less and pick-up trucks and jeeps of up to 2,500 cc would be given RM625 per year.
2. Vehicles over 2000cc would have their road tax would be reduced by RM200.
3. Owners of private motorcycles of engine capacity of up to 250 cc will be paid a cash rebate of RM150 per year.
4. Owners of private motorcycles of engine capacity of more than 250 cc will have the road tax reduced by RM50, subject to a minimum road tax of RM2.

This price hike has came to be expected by some, due to the current world crude oil crisis with each barrel costing USD$139 (as at Monday June 9 2008). This is a very huge figure. Trust me. Ever since the announcement, we can see tonnes of cars rushing to the nearby petrol stations just to pump their car before the price increase. Due to this, every where was experiencing massive jams. Just nearby my house, there is a Petronas station and I can easily see cars lining up on the road until as late as 12am! This is outrageous! The jam was so horrible that my dad’s car was barely able to get out from the road to have a drink with his friend.

Another impact of this price hike would be the inflation of almost everything! Almost everything in the market involves transportation, whether it is from the factory to the vendors, from the distributors to shops, or just about anything. So when there is a price hike in fuel, those pesky business man will surely take this chance to increase sale price of their items/services as well. Since the last fuel price hike, we have seen things being sold at prices of a whole new level. Nowadays where else can you see RM2.50 laksa Sarawak in Kuching? Never! RM3.50 is the norm now. The reason? Petrol price rose. Resulting in raw materials’ price rose.

So now comes to the question. What’s with the price hike thingy. The Malaysian government says that they no longer want to subsidize the petrol price. So just let the consumers pay the full price (with 30cents discount) since the global market price is ever so increasing. That’s fine with me. The government should be better off using those money elsewhere, in developments perhaps. Nothing wrong with that. However, they did not realize one thing: We are producers of petrol! Now imagine, you plant a lot of apples in your back yard. The market price for apples is RM1 each. Now your neighbours want to buy these apples from you. Since you plant this apples yourself, no matter how much you sell, you earn that much. You sell RM1 per piece, you earn RM1 each. You sell 50cents each, you earn 50cents also. So in the petrol front, Petronas (a government linked company for Malaysian petrols) will sell the petrol they dug out from the ground and sell them at full international market price. The whole subsidy thing is a huge joke. Unless you actually buys the petrol in the international market and resell to the Malaysian citizens, then you talk about subsidy. And from what I heard, Petronas will sell out those high quality petrols from Malaysia to other countries and buy back lower quality petrols from Saudi Arabia. If this is true, they are earning twice!

The following image was given to me through the Internet. I don’t know how true is the data inside. But you judge yourself. The Malaysian government is truly too dirty to be given any trust already.

So you think you are a heavy downloader, with a super large hard disk with a super fast connection and the world is just within your grasp? Well, think again. The Internet is far too large for you to have everything in your belt XD (A joke based on the image file )

回想当初实行十不做，里面有条是：不帮人。哈哈，也不明白当时如何能够想到如此杰作。人家不帮你，你也不必帮人。理所当然。是时候再度施行十不做吧。无情无义；身心平静。

很快又一年了。又是她的生日。今年她过得怎么样呢？开心吗？好吗？虽然已不能和她庆祝，我还清楚记得，曾经当过幸福王子的滋味。

P/S: 大家庭II系列真实故事即将出炉，敬请等待！XD

1. Completed the transition to WP2.5! Previously still got some unworkable plugins and some theme issues. All seems to be well now.
2. Changed image sizes from thumbnails to resized images. Still smaller than the original uploaded ones, but should be large enough for viewing. Clicking on the photos will bring full sizes. Still in consideration phase whether I should reduce the resized resolution since the quality for some photos is quite bad. Either I upload smaller photos from now on or back to thumbnails or just live with it.
3. Removed sidebar items that are now considered unneccessary. This includes Mybloglog and some images. Reduced number of images and widgets should reduce site loading time I hope.
4. Maybe some people had noticed that I keep on switching ad between Adverlets and Nuffang. Well, the reason is that there seems to be no ad coming from Nuffnang and Adverlets make my site slow. Now back to Nuffnang. I do understand an ad-free site is the best. But.. I have got some expensive hobbies (see my Otaku Blog for more details), so.. you get what I mean.. XD
5. Added options for post sharing to Digg, StumbleUpon, etc. Hope whoever like my posts can share them. XD
6. Other small changes

Anyone got any suggestions to share, pls feel free to comment here. I do read all of them

“This substantial money judgment sends a strong message about the illegality of these sites,” MPAA Chairman Dan Glickman said in a statement. TorrentSpy, a U.S.-based torrent tacking service, shuttered in March after it lost its case against the MPAA. TorrentSpy did not lose on the merits, but defaulted after it failed to produce internal records. No U.S. case has squarely addressed the legalities of BitTorrent tracking services, although one case is nearing a resolution. Judge Cooper ordered TorrentSpy permanently shuttered. TorrentSpy attorney Ira Rothken was not immediately available for comment. He has appealed the default order to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

Prim3: Can this mean the end of the torrent world? We will never know. Perhaps a new file sharing technology will come out soon and allows people to download stealthily. Stay tuned! ^^

So I am going to keep my word. Today is the first day I stopped MSN-ing. Hope I can adapt to it. ^^

Probably I shall return one day when I am ready again to accept the cyber world.
