OK, our government now wants to raise the petrol price again this year and they claimed that they want to reduce the subsidies. Fine, i have no problem with that, in fact, if the government wants to sell the petrol price to us at market value, pls do so by all means. BUT, and i have to stress this again and again, BUT make sure the government takes away the AP la and also whatever stupid tax shit on the cars so that we can buy good and efficient car for our own use as well. You want to screw us by asking us to pay high petrol price and also screw us again by imposing tax on cars, then that’s not fair! We don’t want lousy and fuel guzzling cars like proton on campro engine, allow us to purchase better efficiency car so we can compensate back on the higher petrol price, that should be the way, isn’t it?

Petrol price could go up initial 15 sen – Malaysiakini.com

(Bernama) – Prime Minister Najib Razak said today the government would make a financial provision to enable a foundation based in Penang to help in the economic advancement of Malays in the state.

Errm, my dear Mr. Prime Minister, would you like me to remind you that besides the Penang Malays, we have other Malays as well in other states in Malaysia? What makes the Penang Malays so special compared to the other Malays? We should have been working towards uniting people from all races and all of us should be considered as Malaysians. But now, apa nama Malay itself also you want to split even further to Penang Malay? So we have Selangor Malay, Kedah Malay, Kelantan Malay and so on? adui… isk isk isk… So is this what you called as 1-Malaysia?

Really headache with you-lah. I also pening already, no further comments.

I love music, oh hell yeah, i hate to play the piano, hell fuck the damn fucking asshole piano but i love music… and i really really love music…. 🙂 and this album will definitely be the next one i’m gonna get… that’s for sure… and here’s the teaser… ain’t it sweet and wonderful? Many people from all over the world coming together to produce something so nice and soothing to my ears? there ain’t many albums or songs out there now that touches my heart…but this one did…

Now, suppose in this case, what’s the verdict? 🙂

—————————————————————–

In a small town, a person decided to open up a brothel, which was right opposite to a church. The church and its congregation started a campaign to block the brothel from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business.

Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the brothel and it was burnt to the ground.

The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till the brothel owner sued the church authorities on the grounds that the church through its congregation and prayers was ultimately responsible for the destruction of his brothel, either through direct or indirect actions or means.

In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons for the act of God. As the case made it way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented:

‘I don’t know how I’m going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, we have a brothel owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire church that doesn’t.‘

we’re unearthing new talents every now and then… on yeah baby… oh hell yeah!

if it takes like thousands of shots just to get this right, it’s still worth it… enjoy, i am totally amazed !

I watched this twice!

Boy oh boy, i can’t imagine myself writing a photography equipment guide but i think i have accumulated enough experience to share with everyone out there. You see, i first got myself into photography about 1 year ago and back then i wasn’t quite sure what i really need so as usual, there were some purchases which i regretted and there were some good purchase i have done so i hope by sharing, you guys will get to squeeze every single penny available to get the best bang for buck equipment.

So here’s a few pointers and tips for all of you (and btw, it’s applicable for Nikon as i’m using a Nikon system, but if you would like to apply these pointers on Canon system, pls feel free to do so at your own risk, but i’m pretty sure some of the tips and pointers are applicable on any system):

– DX or FX? Forget about FX, full stop! Unless you foresee yourself going pro in years to come, then for personal use and as a hobbyist, any decent DX DSLR camera will work fine.
– Should i get the cheapest camera out there or should i spend a bit more? Ok, here’s the thing, the only two things to consider here is the camera’s ability to use non AF-S lens as well as the ergonomics of the camera itself. AF-S lens means the lens itself has a built in focusing motor. For non AF-S lens, you can’t focus your lens unless your camera has a motor built-in. Good news is, nowadays, there’s plenty of AF-S lens out there and i’m pretty sure that 99% of the time, you won’t really miss not having a DSLR with built in motor. To sum it all, go to a shop and try holding the camera yourself. For example, the most basic camera available last year was D40 and it was kinda pretty small camera so some people might not feel comfortable holding it. Try a D90 and you will notice that the camera body fits better into your palm or hand compare to the D40, so decide for yourself on this one.

– You only need one or two lens which you will generally use most of the time. Here’s the thing, imagine if you are going to swap the lens many times when taking a photo. Is this practical? Oh hell no! In many actual case, you only need one or probably 2 type of lens. Generally, you will only need one zoom lens and one fixed lens and that’s it! My personal recommendation for zoom lens in random order: 1. 18-55mm VR    2. 18-105mm VR    3. 16-85mm VRII. If you have the extra moolah, try getting the longer zoom lens such as 18-105mm or if better the 16-85mm. Well, you may ask me, what about the 200mm or 300mm range? Actually, unless you are a wildlife photographer or into sports photography, you won’t ever need that range at all. With the 18-105mm lens, it will cover most of your photography needs. As for fixed lens, there’s no doubt that the 35mm f/1.8 DX lens is the undisputed DX fixed lens at the moment, period! You won’t need the 50mm or 85mm fixed lens, trust me on this!

–  You need a flash! Yes, to compensate for any lack of light problem, just get yourself an external flash unit. You hear people recommending those f/2.8 lens but i don’t think you want to lug around a big and heavy lens. A simple external flash unit will do the trick and it won’t cost you an arm or a leg.

So here you go, my very simple tips and pointers to owning a DSLR system. Remember, you might drool over all those fancy equipment out there . Those big, fast and fancy lens out there but end of the day, you might think to yourself that all you need is a practical system which is light, easy to carry around and doesn’t cost you much. So i hope you will find this article helpful and welcome to the world of photography! Happy shooting!

To all ya potential house buyer out there, especially those who are about to commit to big debt, check this out. As you know, the current BLR is hovering around 5.8% right? But a little bird told me that around the Q3 of this year, we should expect another 0.5 basis point up again. Well, that will make it to be around 6.3%, doesn’t sound that much? But if you’re going to commit to like RM600k or more loan, then that 0.75% increase do make a difference in your monthly repayment.

I will not be responsible for the accuracy of this information, so pls take this as it is. You can check the current BLR rate here:
