Graphics for Dummies

Graphics design for dummies, are you good in photoshop or any design's softwares? Well, if you are like me a dummy in design of graphics, don't plan to take any courses right now because through Copy and Paste Graphics you will probably receive thousands over graphics to enhance your your website, blog, forum or anything as long as you need a graphic.

Graphics speak louder than words, a lenghty blog could make you feel boring if the topic or content isn't interesting but attractive graphics could hold your readers to stay longer on your blog or website.

A survey out of 10 person i know (well i'm not running a focus group), my readers on my blog always hope to see photos, graphics appeared in my blog so that they feel more attractive. Yes, Attractiveness is hard to get out of most. Even you're not scoring for an A in your English (just like Me) but just fair writing with graphics and photos will make your readers feel that your blog is lively. Try me if you don't believe.

Look who says Dummy cannot design!!!

Saving is Sin and Spending is Virture

Saving is Sin, and spending is Virtue

Interesting article written by an Indian Economist

Japanese save a lot. They do not spend much. Also Japan exports far more than it imports. Has an annual trade surplus of over 100 billions. Yet Japanese economy is considered weak, even collapsing.

Americans spend, save little. Also US imports more than it exports. Has an annual trade deficit of over $400 billion. Yet, the American economy is considered strong and trusted to get stronger.

But where from do Americans get money to spend?

They borrow from Japan, China and even India.
Virtually others save for the US to spend. Global savings are mostly invested in US, in dollars.

India itself keeps its foreign currency assets of over $50 billions in US securities. China has sunk over $160 billion in US securities.
Japan's stakes in US securities is in trillions.

Result:

The US has taken over $5 trillion from the world. So, as the world saves for the US, Americans spend freely. Today, to keep the US consumption going, that is for the US economy to work, other countries have to remit $180 billion every quarter, which is $2 billion a day, to the US!

A Chinese economist asked a neat question. Who has invested more, US in China, or China in US? The US has invested in China less than half of what China has invested in US.

The same is the case with India. We have invested in US over $50 billion.
But the US has invested less than $20 billion in India.

Why the world is after US?

The secret lies in the American spending, that they hardly save. In fact they use their credit cards to spend their future income. That the US spends is what makes it attractive to export to the US. So US imports more than what it exports year after year.

The result:

The world is dependent on US consumption for its growth. By its deepening culture of consumption, the US has habituated the world to feed on US consumption. But as the US needs money to finance its consumption, the world provides the money.

It's like a shopkeeper providing the money to a customer so that the customer keeps buying from the shop. If the customer will not buy, the shop won't have business, unless the shopkeeper funds him. The US is like the lucky customer. And the world is like the helpless shopkeeper financier.

Who is America's biggest shopkeeper financier? Japan of course. Yet it's Japan which is regarded as weak. Modern economists complain that Japanese do not spend, so they do not grow. To force the Japanese to spend, the Japanese government exerted itself, reduced the savings rates, even charged the savers.

Even then the Japanese did not spend (habits don't change, even with taxes, do they?). Their traditional postal savings alone is over $1.2 trillions, about three times the Indian GDP. Thus, savings, far from being the strength of Japan, has become its pain.

Hence, what is the lesson?

That is, a nation cannot grow unless the people spend, not save. Not just spend, but borrow and spend.

Dr. Jagdish Bhagwati, the famous Indian-born economist in the US, told Manmohan Singh that Indians wastefully save. Ask them to spend, on imported cars and, seriously, even on cosmetics! This will put India on a growth curve. This is one of the reason for MNC's coming down to India, seeing the consumer spending.

'Saving is sin, and spending is virtue.'

But before you follow this neo economics, get some fools to save so that you can borrow from them and spend!!!

Jose Mourinho the mastermind behind Chelsea

Jose Mourinho was an ultimate impact of Chelsea success and the mastermind behind the Blues.... Believe it or not. Yesterday we see the Blues defeated by Man United at the Old Trafford, a fair play and pretty convincing displayed by the United players like Tevez scoring the first goal for United right before the first half session crossed by Giggs and Saha tranformed the controvery spot kick that lead Man United winning 2-0 at full time.

During the service of the portugese Jose Mourinho, Alex ferguson has only won once draw 5 and loss 5 against the Blues out of the 11 meetings. A very sudden departure of Jose Mourinho after the draw with Rosenborg at Stamford Bridge last week when the board disclosed that Jose left with "mutual consent". So who do you think football maniac?? Do you want Jose Mourinho still attached with EPL??

Well, in my opinion i really want Jose Mourinho to stay with Chelsea for another few good years, his exists really contribute alot of excitements to EPL and the European Champions League. Chelsea fans like him, even the rivals fans like me (i'm Man united fan) also love him to stay. Football is not only about winning or lossing (although win is important for the club) but for us we like to watch beautiful football that display alot of skills, tactics and strategies. Even the rivals manager like Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger both praised the portugese manager and sad to see him leave the EPL.

I still clearly reminded a quote from Jose Mourinho during his interview session at ESPN sports centre last week saying that:

Jose: I love the club, I love the fans, I love Chelsea FC. If the people love me I will give 100% of my love in return. If you hate me and force me, I'll hate you and give you what you deserve.

From the above statement it was so clear that he has some bust up with the bosses on top, no support from the top management even like us working in the corporate world also feel one word "SIEN". I also will quit the company don't say he is Jose Mourinho, aren't you?

At here i wish Jose Mourinho the best of luck in all your future undertakings and hope he will return to another football club to see him in action again!!

Lay off, Berjaya Hill Homes and Genting Highland, Malaysia

Looking on my previous post date... it was nearly half a month that no update on gossip with david...i understand that alot of my viewers happened to ask me... "David you give up your blog already ar??"... to clear all these doubt well i gossip with david blog is coming back again.
Well where have I been for the pass month... (i) been busy arrange for "indon maid", (ii) busy looking for baby sitter for baby Sara, (iii) busy gathering with friends, (iv) busy arrange holiday for 2 me and pauline and (v) busy with my current stuff

In fact, for the pass half month i really busy on all the above... finally, everything have been resolved and I really need a holiday with pauline (only for both of us after tired of taking care baby and lots of errand to run) i still recalled our last vacation were to Hong Kong during CNY... and that't it, we have never been organised any trip after we know about the arrival of baby Sara.

So, this time I'm the organiser for the trip to reward pauline after her delivery of baby sara... pretty much options to choose from Penang to Club Med and from Avillion to Redang Island...(we even think of flying to nearest city like Bangkok, Macau and etc but it's over our budget..) so after some indepth discussion we planned our trip locally... The itinery Berjaya Hill Homes (previously known as Bukit Tinggi Resorts) cum Genting Highlands.

People will think that why Berjaya Hill Homes and Genting Highland. Well to escape from city i prefer to get a short holiday to beach or island or some places that are cooling.. in order to keep our trip fun and enjoyable we picked Berjaya Hill Homes as we've never been there but hear about the places for years. In addition, Genting currently are running a few promotions for the low season and we get our Room + Fly show for only RM223.00. If you want to know more about the room rates check out at the Genting websites alot of options for you to pick from if you want to get yourself out from the city and a night in the cooling resorts.

A 1.5 hours journey from Kuala Lumpur will be the home of Berjaya Hill Homes, where the famous Hill Resorts located 2,700-3,500 feet above sea level, Pahang, Malaysia. What to expect if you never been to this place? It is great with no expectation as both of us have never in our life think of going to this Hill Resort and certainly the Berjaya Hill Resorts bring alot of excitement for us.. During our drive all the way up to the hill we were thinking of how the famous Japanese Village and French-themed Resort look like... Suprised!!!

Both the Japanese Village and French-themed Resort look gorgeous from far and when we drew closer the French-themed Resort also known as Colmar Village in France is a picture postcard come alive. After settled down we planned to have a lunch on this Colmar Village and later on heading towards the famously known "Gambling Haven" the Genting Highlands.

Here are some nice photos taken on the Berjaya Hill Homes:



On the way to the French-Themed Resorts at Berjaya Hill Homes


After some discussion with Pauline, we decided to go to the Japanese Village first then only headed to the French-Themed Resorts as the Japanese Village is located on top of the hill. This photo is the traditional Japanese Tea House. Guest is prohibited to go in unless you rented a Kimomo and take photo with the Tea Lady. (i feel a bit cheated... why??? because we travel all the way to discover this place then the catch is here... You need to pay to take photos... WTF!!)


I quickily take a few photos of this traditional Japanese Tea house, the entire garden and interior is designed renowned japanese architect Mr Kaio Ariizumi and 22 skilled craftman from Japan, pretty impressive right...


Another shot on this Japanese Tea House, where the hell is the photo lady suppose to be... don't see her around...


This is me, Gossip with David author, David.


The tour of Japanese Village is far from impressive and it is not finish yet, me and pauline take a walk across the lush green which directed us to a new place...



This is the place TaTami Spa a minute away from the Japanese Tea House, but prior appointment is needed if you want to try the Spa service.


A closer look on the Tatami Spa, the main door is clocked down to avoid patrons to walk across.


After visited the Japanese Tea House and Tatami Spa garden, both of us feel like heading back to our car and then go to the Colmar Village (the french village), a route that lead us about 300 meter away and we passed the Botanic Garden. (of course i'm not interested in gardening or flower so we just take a skip on this)


We are heading to the Colmar Village, this shot is taken from our car, the journey from Japanese Village to the Colmar Village takes less than 5 minutes. (i think i'm speeding, to show some drift to Pauline... muahahahahahahahahah)


Right before the entrance of the car park you could see this... I think is DUCK...what do you call it??


After i've parked my car in a decent carpark offer by the Colmar Village, here is the main street of the French-Themed Resorts. Everything seems so unreal but it is a nice place to hang out with close friends to take a few days off from work or the busy city lifestlye, there are pubs and golf course as well not too far from this place. Due to weekday you don't see the crowd. PS. I don't think the place will packed by crowded tourists during weekend as the place don't offer much entertainment compare to the nearest Genting Highland and Resorts.


Featuring David on the main street of Colmar Village, only few couples on the coffee shop and a group of people attending their company's training from Bayern Corp Malaysia. It seems like a dead town, but the place is so neat that i wish to come here again on weekend to lay off.


Finally, settled down for our lunch at La Flamme, opposite is a bookstore further down there are souvenir shops and foot massage centre.


The end of the main street and both sides are the different themed Resorts. Is time to leave the place and heading to Genting Highland.


A 30 minutes journey we have reached the Resort Hotel, both of us are pretty tired till then. Before we entered our hotel room we expect it to be a run down and average room because we booked from online. But this photo tells it all. The room is totally out of our expectation, if you were ask me to rate the Resort Hotel room i will give 9 out of 10.


A comfy king size bed for us to take a nap before heading for tonight's show, The FLY at First World, Pavilion.


This is the view from our hotel room, you can see the Outdoor Theme Park and the thrilling space shot, height at 185 feet and travel on the speed of 67km/hour. Must try if you have no heart problem!!!


Just able to catch a shot from our hotel to the Awana Genting, the scenery is beautiful and calm.


After the rain, the fog getting thinner and the entire environment and scene from the top of the resorts seems so comfortable that you could stay there for life.

This is it, a 2 Days 1 Night stay and lay off at peak of the Highland. A trip that is memorable for once and hope to get another one in the near future. So folks, if you really don't know where to break away from your work, Genting Highland might be a good place, don't associate with the gambling activities first but to relax and slow down your pace. Sometimes, you will look further and clearer when you get a brighter sight.

Merdeka

Counting down the days of Malaysia's National Day on the 31 August 2007 (1 day left)... over the years you will only listen people shouting, screaming and yelling Merdeka!! Merdeka!! Merdeka for no reasons and for fun... if you don't believe step yourself out tonight in Dataran Merdeka or any big gathering of celebration you'll understand all. Different group of people will have different tune and they try to act like our beloved Tunku Abdul Rahman when we declared independence in the Merdeka Stadium back then in 1957. (I hope as a Malaysian please pay high respect on the "Merdeka" before it fly out from your mouth and do not spoilt it)

This year celebration of National Day will be a grand one from the government and private sector however, the government feels that private sector should contribute to this as well and released a statement few months ago about at all expenses on promoting our Nationa Day will be fully deducted in the financial year end of the company. (Walau... like that also can ar... If the cabinet release this news earlier I think today in down town Kuala Lumpur you will see a lot of display of this everywhere liao.. pls take note in future...)

As a Malaysian, what can we do and play a role in this celebration....well, i don't seem what much the Malaysian can do instead just behave like a good boy will be more than enough because new rules coming out stated don't simply make fun with the national flag lar (therefore, don't stick on your car bonek or sun roof anymore u r not patriotic but shameless simply display it) , don't simply edit national anthem (the 黃明志 Namewee case) and alot more. In fact, as a Malaysian the latter is truly mis-behaved, the namewee case had brought alot of attention to the cabinet as well as the media reporting the mis-used of national anthem and bla bla bla... As an adult, i think namewee you are over the line anyway, your song like Muar Chinese and Kawanku had brought sufficient fame for you so don't simply go further like nobody business... you know lar Malaysia is a place that you can throw your unhappiness out but only limited to condition, environment, close friends or keep underneath your own heart. (don't say i am chicken to do so... if any Malaysian try to act funny against the government or stupid ISA will come after you... this only not appear in "Ripley's believe it or not")

Anyway, for those of you who have resided out of Malaysia, i hope you find your happiness there but you will face the same difficulties in the other hand because you are just simply 3rd class citizen to them. For the pass 30 years i've stayed here in Malaysia i still find here is a good place to live and work for.

Last but not least, I wish Malaysia happy birthday in advance and I can't give you big present as i can't afford it. But, I think you've receive a big "present" from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries yesterday, a foreign investment of RM4.1bil in the Iskandar Development Region (IDR) in Johor.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer retires from Manchester United

I started to learn and play football in a very late age of 20++. From there on the club I always support is Manchester United until today. I've seen the club growing from conquer the English Premier League till the Europe.

For all the years there are few players that really left so many memories to me. The hard and solid of Roy Keane, the power forward Eric Cantona, the freekick specialist David Beckham and the Baby Face Assassin Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.


Today, as usual i go through Soccernet and found out that Ole is going to retire with a bad knee injury he suffered for years. What a waste for such a talented player going to retire after 11 years of service in the club. Ole is recognised as a scoring machine and super sub for United over the years and his superb performance in the last minute of game always turn around the results. Ole brought a lot of sweet memory for Man United fans and he was never be forgetted with his famous goal for United. Besides, Ole who famously scored the winner in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich to help the club win the treble in 1999 was the sweetest among the rest.

In fact, I've nothing to say much but wish this talented Norwegian striker all the best in his future undertaking. Good Bye Ole!!!

A tribute of goals scored by the Baby Face Assassin, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer


P/S Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will remain in Man United in coaching role.

Avril Lavigne turns sexy

I personally noticed that female singer in the west always dress sexily to increase awareness and lure the audience. In fact, we hardly can see rock singer dress sexily anyway. But lately I noticed Canadian rock singer, Avril Lavigne started to prove that she can be sexy too besides ROCK!

Wenworth Miller & Partner

I believe most of you have watched Prison Break one of most talkabout American Serial Drama back in 2005 and voted the 2005 People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama. The storyline is brilliant and the characters like Michael Scofield (played by Wenworth Miller), Lincoln Burrows (played by Dominic Purcell), Fernando Sucre (played by Amaury Nolasco), Sara Tancredi (played by Sarah Wayne Callies) and many more impressed the series' followers including myself.

Yesterday, I came across this entertainment news about Wenworth Miller & Partner both were noticed dine and shopping around in town. Below is the picture of his partner.


His name Luke MacFarlane, 27 born in London. So, girls don't upset and disappointed anyway he is as good looking as Wenworth Miller.

Manchester United 2007 first goal by Nani

The poor displayed of the champion Manchester United on the opening season of the Premiership 2007, finally taste the sweet victory over Tottenham in Old Trafford by winning 1 nil to goal. The first win and first goal for United in the new season.

The attacking force of Manchester United has proven much doubt when the duo Wayne Ronney and C. Ronaldo both absence for the United for the pass few games. As a Manchester United fan, my heart nearly cracked down when the score line still draw at 0-0 during half time. Ferdinand and Van der Sar nearly slip a goal to Berbatov during the 2nd half. A fantastic long shot from Nani finally secure a WIN to the United. But i still disappointed with the current Man United form. A lot of room for improvement... I think Fergie better keep Brown a side (he got too many mistakes during each game he played.)

Exciting Weekend - EPL + La Liga + Serie A

This weekend football fans around the world come alive when the long awaited european leagues are all gear up where the La Liga and Serie A both in scheduled and EPL in action again.


The opening season of EPL created much upset for the favourites especially the Champion, Manchester United had been under performed so far after major signing of top players from other major leagues in Europe like the inclusion of Nani, Anderson, Owen Hagreaves and Carlos Tevez didn't really give an impact to the team. United suffered 2 draws and 1 defeat in the opening 3 games, and yet to find the winning form. This weekend features Man United against Tottenham will be a test to the champion again to find the winning ways for the team and I'm sure Man United will grab 3 points in Old Trafford by all means. On the other hand, Premiership's leader Man City will travel to Emirates Stadium to extend the lead and Arsenal without Defender William Galas and Goalkeeper Lehmann on this weekend will receive a tough challenge from the inform City Team lead by Sven Erickson. Last weekend, derby upset against the champion Man United had boost the confident of the Man City team and Arsene Wenger once again has to prove the youth are paying the effort to survive in the Premiership and end the fairy tale run by the City team. Arsenal has to count on Fabregas, Van Persie and Helb to find the net if they want to upset the inform City.

Some wins will be foresee from Aston Villa, Newcastle, Liverpool, West Ham and Birmingham City in the weekend showdown.


Well, from England let's move to Italy. Juventus, Genoa and Napoli promoted back to Serie A certainly will create some upset this season. The curtain raising Italian Super Cup between Inter Milan and AS Roma had once again proved that the excitement of Calcio where AS Roma defeated Inter by one goal to nil. This season no team is on minus point and welcome the previous contender of Serie A, Juventus lead by Claudio Ranieri will once again challenge for the title and looking forward to qualify for Europe by end of the season. Claudio Ranieri helped Parma to avoid relegation last season move to Juventus to give the top flight a challenge.

Some wins will be foresee from promoted teams in Serie A.


The La Liga will kick off this weekend and the curtain raising Spain Super Cup between Real Madrid and Sevilla had see the weakness in defence displayed by Real Madrid once again when they stumbled to Sevilla by 5-3. Real Madrid had removed Fabio Cappelo this season and included a list of players like Arjen Rubben, Gariel Heinze, Javier Saviola, Wesley Sneijder and many more to defend the title. On the other hand, Barcelona had captured the service of Arsenal's star Thiery Henry will once again challenge the title from Real Madrid where they loss on head to head count last term. The new campaign of La Liga will see the improving side from Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia to challenge the title.

Some upset from the promoted teams like Real Valladolid, Real Murcia and Almeria and wins from Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia.

Women's interest

As a women, when will you wear a 5.5inch high heel? May be you will answer me either to a private function, wedding or some special party. Majority of women's interest when attending a party or private function will go shop around the dress, make up, hair-do and many more.

Anyway, a 5.5 inch high heel can be wear casually like her, Victoria Beckham. Classy?? You define yourself.

Michael Wong Concert in Jakarta and Medan

Long Night again

It has been a long night again... the departure of nanny on Monday, certainly left alot of blues for my family. Finally, I realised that when additional helping hand really help us alot from cooking, washing, feeding or even sleeping... (kinda of miss her... help lar!!!!) Apart from taking care on the normal routine, we (me, pauline and my mom) take rotation like football strategy to take care of baby Sara. It has been a long night for the person taking the night shift. (pauline didn't sleep at all!! amazed!!! and I have to thank her so much because she is the person that need a lot of rest during her confinement month instead of jaga Baby for the whole night... i feel sorry...)

The time table of taking care of Baby Sara distributed into 3 shift, My Mom in the Morning (8 hours), Pauline in the Afternoon (8 hours) and Me in the Night (8 hours)... this is how we define our time, you take as much rest as possible when you are not occupy so that when your shift comes you are as enegetic as the baby... (at last i really feel i'm aging, cannot tahan anymore...)

Today marked the 3rd night of taking care of Baby Sara, writing blog and surf the internet is the only way to kill time.. In order to make myself awake the whole night, research on shares and football is the only entertainment i have.... kinda of weird like i can't even nap if she sleeps beside me...

Baby Sara wakes up every 2 hours in the night... why? the only answer either starving or shit... so my role is simple at night make milk or clean shit... But, sometimes I also experienced that she is not hungry and shit but just cry the whole night... this really out of my control and i have no choice to wake pauline or my mom up to give me a helping hand... sometimes really dont know what the baby wants.

That's all for now... have to make milk again..(adapting fatherhood..)

New Blog

I've started another blog for my daughter. Yes you can visit it at My Baby Sara

From today onwards, there will be no post on baby in gossip with david. Gossip with David will resume the normal gossip about football, entertainment and anything from the sky.

So this weekend, where you putting your penny in? United and Spurs will definitely grab 3 points after a recent slump in the new campaign of Premiership. The new season of EPL kicked off on the 11th August 2007 and we see quite a number of upset on the first game of EPL new season. With the inclusion of new players and managers in all Premier League club the most outstanding clubs for the opening week were Manchester City, Sunderland, Reading, Derby and Newcastle.

Sunderland lead by Roy Keane (Manager) from the Championship League last season to win a come back in the Premiership upset Tottenham in the opening match with a solid defence and a last minute goal which gained them a solid 3 points ahead of the new campaign in the Premiership.

Manchester City and Newcastle lead by the new managers in charged never disappoint the fans and gained 3 points both defeat West Ham and Bolton away from home.

The most surprised pacakge came from Reading and Derby. Both work very hard on the pitch to draw with champion Manchester United and Portsmouth respectively. Reading displayed a rock defence against the champion and never give up even they are down to 10 men at the last 10 minutes of the game. Manchester United attacking wasn’t effective enough in the entire game and didn’t create much a problem for Reading defence.

MyFM live in Sungai Wang

Knowing that the DJ and crews will host a Live 50 hours long broadcast in the busiest Golden Triangle, the main entrance of Sungai Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur today. The entire live broadcast will last for 50 hours from 17th August until 19 August 2007 and all MyFM DJ and Guests will take part and invited in this memorable event.

Manchester United slump

Manchester United summer spending don't seem to be favaorable for Alex Ferguson team. Subsequent to the inclusion of Anderson, Nani, Owen Hagreaves, Tevez for the preparation to defend their title this season, the champion was upset again yesterday away at Fratton Park and C. Ronaldo was sent off from the pitch.



A disappointed opening campaign for the champion, Manchester United has loss its pace, drawing consecutive games both home and away to Reading and Portsmouth. With a handful of talented strike force, creative midfielders and solid defence the champion once again playing the worst football in their opening matches collecting 2 points and lying at midtable now. What a shameful display and my heart aching...

The new campaign of EPL had created much surprises too especially for Manchester City and Sunderland. Well, the worst performance team should be Tottenham and Manchester United. Tottenham spending about 40 million pound not yet secure a win so far and seating at the bottom of the Premiership and Manchester United drawing both games.

However, it is only the opening matches and do not forget there are still 36 matches to go for all clubs. I believe this weekend Manchester United and Tottenham will grab 3 points from their respective game.

Mix Feeling

Today recorded the 13 days of being a father... Mix feeling... Well where the *hell* I have absenced for the pass weeks... Well here is some summary for you guys (not in Malaysia wan...)

The first week of fatherhood or should I say parenthood is not easy stuff... You have to be alert, when little baby cries (either Hungry or Shit...) so I bared the responsibilities of make milk (in the midnight) or clean the little shit for baby ... Obviously, I'm lacked of sleep.... (therefore never update my blog..). Anyway, Pauline also helps along lar... She is the one breastfeed our baby.

Well, all the above task have been taking over by the nanny when she arrived 4 days later... what a relieved for myself, pauline and my parents are exhausted of taking care of baby... I found myself like lost some of my short term memory at that time due to tiredness.

Unfortunately, baby kena jaundice after discharged from the hospital in the 5th day. She had to stayed overnight for 3 Days 2 Nights in the hospital to be observed under the special sunlight. Luckily she recovered in time but the mummy *worried* her so much... muahahahahahaha (hardly see Pauline so kan cheong!!!) A week has passed quickily and we still haven't name her... (according to the Pendaftaran Negara Malaysia we have an allowance of 2 weeks to submit our baby name at any branch of PNM.)

During the 1st and 2nd weeks a lot of friends visited us and baby... appreciate a lot!!! Besides, I have to thanks a few name here. Peng Leong for the big Ang Pow. Ah Shue, Johnson, Max, Law, Grace, Irene, Kay Peng, Joyce, Yin Kee, Kang Han, Suet Han, Esther for the presents like Baby Chair, Clothes and many many more. Thank You so much...

Today marked a historical day for our baby. We have finalised and included a english name in her IC. The final SARA GAN SHIN E. So next time you all can call her Sara or Shin E.

I'll put up photos on my next blog.... (mix feeling no more EPL man...)

David Beckham's fever

The David Beckham's fever is hot at Los Angeles, California. Becks isn't just a footballer (should I say soccer player) anymore, his rapid reputation in the Beverly Hills has gained him a place as a Guest Starring in the coming Desperate House Wife series. Besides that, Robbie William might have a chance to play as Guest Starring too along side with David Beckham.


The Becks fever is ON now!!!

Leader in the Automotive Industry

Lately, when I can't sleep at night, the only and best way to kill time is surf over the internet. I dropped by at one of this website The Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles ("International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers"), commonly called the OICA, is a federation of automobile manufacturers. It coordinates communication among manufacturers as well as a number of international auto shows.

The most interesting part of the entire research and results which revealed the entire automotive industry's performance, compare the west and the east production, the turnover (sales) by country and many more.



"The world’s automobile industry made over sixtysix million cars, vans, trucks and buses in 2005. These vehicles are essential to the working of the global economy and to the wellbeing of the world’s citizens.

Building sixty-six million vehicles requires the employment of more than eight million people directly in making the vehicles and the parts that go into them. This is over fi ve per cent of the world’s total manufacturing employment. In addition to
these direct employees, about fi ve times more are employed indirectly in related manufacturing and service provision, such that an estimated more than 50 million people earn their living from cars, trucks, buses and coaches."

Quoted from OICA report.



The 2005 report of total car production really caught my attention as the world leader of automotive nation as followed:

1. The United States (11 million cars produced)
2. Japan (10 million cars produced)
3. Germany (5 million cars produced)
4. China (5 million cars produced)
5. South Korea (3.6 million cars produced)
More resuls on car production by country.

Asia is the largest cars production in the world stands at total world production of 28% (Total cars production 2005 were 66 millions). Lead by Japan, China and South Korea. In fact, South Korea really impressed me a lot. They have been emerged as a top 5 producer of cars in the world and with their rapid conglomerates in the world's electrical and electronics industry like giant Samsung and LG. (some fact from wikipedia: In the 1950s, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in Asia. At the end of World War II, the country inherited a colonial economic system designed solely for Japan's needs. Much of the country's infrastructure was destroyed during the Korean War that followed in 1950-1953. After the war, South Korea became heavily dependent on U.S. aid.)I personally think that Samsung, Hyundai and Kia will give a fierce challenge in the automotive industry very soon in the future.

Now what about our local manufacturers Proton and Perodua? Are we improving over the years or we just remained at the same position?

The new proton sedan is going to release to the public on the 15th August 2007. Can it make an impact to our local automotive industry?

The most busiest airport in the world

Do you like travelling? Well I like it very much, indeed. But if I ask you which airport do you think is the busiest among the rest? Not the biggest.

Well a lot of people are very stereotyped, the busiest airport must be the city with megalopolis status (city's population more than 20 milion). Let me unveiled the truth for you here.

The 2006 busiest airports standing in the world as followed:-


1. Atlanta (84 million visited)
2. Chicago (77 million visited)
3. London (67 million visited)
4. Tokyo (65 million visited)
5. Los Angeles (61 million visited)
6. Dallas (60 million visited)
7. Paris (56 million visited)
8. Frankfurt (52 million visited)
9. Beijing (48 million visited)
10. Denver (47 million visited)

How about our KLIA Malaysia? We ranked pretty far away from the busier airports above last year. KLIA recorded a 24 million visitors registered in the immigration. Still long way to go... Syabas Malaysia

The findings above proven that megalopolis city isn't the home of busiest airport in the world. According to the magalopolis city ranking only Tokyo and Los Angeles manage to break into the top 10 busiest airports.
