I'm back!

Well, I was back for sometime already. But nevertheless, it quite tiring travelling. I met up with some good friends and it's never bad to laugh your head off with these crazy lot.

The new year is approaching. Hope you all are ready for it. :)

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you all. I will be away for a while. So tata, eat a lot and don't care about diet la. Start your diet next year. :D

The end?

Looks like this is the end of my blog. And I haven't updated it for like 5 days! Oh well, I guess, you reached a point where you can't blog forever.

I think I need my break.

My neck hurts now. I dunno why. :(

Encouragement?

I guess there was nothing much to talk about. Just that it was really slow and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. There are still a number of things I have to go through but I will try to get there.

Any words of encouragement people?

Sunday Work

Wahhhhhhhhh. Sunday kena work. Oh well. That's part of the business. :)

Now, let the training begin.

‘Final warning’ on rear seat belts

Not to be a pessimistic, but I don't think this will work. Fine, I don't do myself but trying to remind myself la. Let me briefly explain.

First of all, people already beat the red traffic lights especially those damn motors! Those are the ones causing the accidents. DUHHHH! And that's like the first rule of driving. STOP AT RED LIGHTS. NOT GO FASTER!

How about those who has those damn white blinding lights at night. I thought it was banned but does the enforcement take place. You can answer that. Also how about tinting the windows with ultra dark films. Also banned but it's everywhere.

Then you have those in kampung not wearing helmets. Does the police even bother summoning them? NO. Though I have to admit, it won't be kampung if they don't wear their helmet.

But of course safety comes first.

So, what's the point in asking we people to wear the rear selt belts where enforcement is like #@$*@#&%*(@#&*#@$&#@$&#@!

From the Star.

PETALING JAYA: From Tuesday, motorists whose passengers are not belted up will be stopped by police. However, instead of summonses, they will be issued “advisory notices.”

The ruling comes into effect on Jan 1, after which the police will issue summonses. Road Safety Department director-general Datuk Suret Singh said the advisory notice was a final warning to motorists on the new ruling.

“It is not a summons but we will take down the car’s registration number, driver’s name and MyKad number, date, time and place they were caught flouting the law,” he said after launching a campaign advocating road safety here Friday.

He said motorists should not have the mentality of “wearing the seat belt only when they see the police” as the ruling was for the safety of passengers.

Suret Singh said research had shown that wearing seat belts saved the lives of 200 backseat passengers every year.

“Half of the accident victims were saved from severe and minor injuries by wearing rear seat belts,” he said.

A Good Day?

It's very very cold here. But the people are damn nice though. Sometimes, I wonder they would treat me the same if I weren't you know.

But all I have to say that this Company has certainly has some fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeee people (not in a sexual or horny way!). The best I have worked so far. They are passionate and they are all out for the Company.

Sayonara!

Bye bye. I will be out for sometime but who cares right. This blog now is just redundant. :(

Worse than a snail!

Cold Bananas!

Most KLnites(if I think it's right) will agree that today is freak cold! Okay okay. Compared to London this is nothing but whooooooaaaaaaa. It's so cold you just want to stay in bed!

How's everyone this morning?

I was just trying their new cash deposit thing and everything was okay. Well not everything was fine but after my 10th attempt, it worked. Mana tau me. I just walk off without my card.

Yes you heard me right. WITHOUT MY CARD!

A bit duh duh! But what to do.

It's going to be an expensive one. RM 12 to get a new card! Damn cheat man!

Aiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Never lost a card before like this!

The end of the month

One more month and we are done for the year of 2009. Time passes these days are so fast which makes you @_@!

Anyway, I think it was a good month and I think it's going to be an exciting one next.

Come to think of it, I have to think of a new resolution. Need to cari my this year's resolution. Hahahaha.

Though for sure the weight issue isn't settled yet. T_T

Thank you very much

Dear all,

Thank you very much for the wishes this year. Just would like to say I'm sick of cake! I had like 5 cakes already! Die la like that. I'm going to be fat!!!

O_O

*Looks left*

*Looks right*

I also don't know what I'm going to do today. But I guess I have a lot of things on my hands now. Made a few mistakes but hey! I'm still ignorant. I'm still learning here.

Of course it makes you feel like shit because of this.

Blahhhhhh!

A new day is here and I better make things right for some of the other things.

This is My Speed

Sigh. It's suppose to be much higher. So much for Malaysia's service.

Club Virginity

In KL of course. To be honest, it has never attracted me but hey man, it's a learning experience.

But most of all, it's the people. Tockie Tock.

Happy birthday okay. I hope you didn't get drunk and hey, I hope to see you next week la. :D

Anyway, I went to Bar Club in a Heritage Row or Road(which by the way, I lost my virginity again!) and sorry I didn't take pictures. I was in a trance with loads of smoke. Man we need to do something about the smoking indoors.

Time to exhale all the bad bad smoke! *cough cough*

Useless Me

My net kena chopped.

T_T

Aihhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Now, I feel like an useless person.

Can someone help me?

I'm blinded

Holy cow. I'm blind now. I mean I see beautiful stars in front of me in the morning.

I suppose I look like a sotong!

So how are you people doing?

Mamma Mia!

Can't believe I watched this. I mean it's all nice and all but of course the storyline was a bit cacat. It's exactly from the broadway but NOT the singing. Oh my god! I think the guys sucked to the max in the singing!

I should have shot them like a dead cow!

Errrrrrrrm, is it Saturday?

Hambaaaaaaaa. Yum yum. I love my Korean BBQ. It's like the bomb. I just love eating meat. Muahahahahahaha.

But as for now, my Saturday have been really slow. Like s l o w. Say that 20 seconds per letter.

Well, nites la for now. Will post on the movie I just saw. You will never guess it. :)

Bummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well, bummmmmmmmmm is the only word I can say now. Sighhhhh. Beremo bemo me also.

Sigh! Teremo also got. Is there such a word? Also dunno la.

O_O

Toot Toot Tuesday

Looks like today is going to be a long day. I presume it's my weekly PMS. Lol. A bit drama hor but I'm not feeling the love today. Aihhhhhhhhhhhhh. Nevermind. Life has to go on.

I really hope I can find my lost item. I really dunno whether it is. T_T

Again I'm Back

Lol. I know you all don't miss me but yes, I'm back.

To be honest, I have been travelling quite a bit. My eyes already also like O_O!

But it's all fun. We have to do this at a young age. When you are old, sure don't have the time and bones might have been broken already. :)

"Sawatdee Khrab!"

We Shall See!

Time passes so fast now huh. It's already Thursday. To be honest, I thought it was Wednesday. Oh well.

I attended a higher management training *cough cough* (the next CEO in the making man! Muahahahahahaha!), and it was really interesting. You would never imagine what have people to turn around a company or of course embezzled the company but in thousands but in hundreds of millions!

What to do. We have people like that in the world.

Ahhhhhhhh. On the second note, Barack Obama won! Yay. Very happy about that. Hope we can see big big changes in that country and not to mention our country about our political future.

We shall see. We shall see.

Wa Siao Lang!

Slowing down it looks to me since I'm blogging down less frequent now. I guess blogging could takes its toll who blogs everyday. I suppose 'wa siao lang!' But hey, it's a Monday anyway.

But as for now, nothing much. The family is coming back for a reunion etc. Hopefully it would be great fun. :)

Health Ministry stepping up no-smoking enforcement

FINALLY! They took my complaints seriously! Well of course not solely mine la but seriously, Malaysian law enforcement sucks.

As for them finding ignorant restaurants which doesn't follow this law, just go to the hotels first. Don't need to scan the mamak place etc(if they ever have air-con and no smoking place).

Thank you very much, Mr DAP Segambut. :)

From the Star.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry is stepping up enforcement against smokers who light up in non-smoking areas.

Action would also be taken against restaurant owners who allowed smokers to puff away at non-smoking sections, said its minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai.

“Air-conditioned places such as restaurants must have separate smoking areas with their own vacuum system to prevent other parts of the premise being polluted,” Liow told reporters after launching Health Day here on Sunday.

“We will increase the number of raids and checks to ensure rules are abided by,” he added.

The intensified measures to stop the offence were decided after the ministry received various public complaints of smokers who refused to put out their cigarettes despite “No Smoking” signs being displayed.

Liow said the ministry would also try working together with shopowners to bar children below 18 years of age from buying cigarettes.

Those caught smoking at prohibited places and premise owners who neglect the rules face a maximum fine of RM10,000 or two years jail or both.

I'm in loveeeeeeeeeeee

Ya man. I'm in love. With this ice-cream la! What were you thinking! They don't call it Love Potion #31 for nothing!

In Malaysia, it only comes out at Valentine's Day. That's like 1 year! But now at least it comes out every 31st.

Sooooooooooooo in love.

Of course have to see what it's made off. If not, I'm a fat pig, die also. :) And NO MELAMINE TOO!

Sorry this can't be too long but it's way too early to blog either. Lol. Might watch something useless now. :)

Surprise Surprise

Not going to say it what it was. But it definitely made my day. To what I owe the pleasure for this morning certainly did wonders. :D

Anyway, the title is quite off but I don't care la. :(

PCA 2008 Forum

Ho ho ho. I attended a forum today. PCA to be precise.

It was interesting but at one point it was really boring. I mean it was informative but it was company's going on and on about their products and not talking about the SITUATION!

HELLO!

It was an experience. Sorry about no pictures but my friend dieded right. :(

Painful

OMG! My body is aching everywhere. I can't be that old hor. Play a bit of sports. :(

Oh well. For this weekend, it has been kinda slow but yet nice. Everyone thinks that time passes extra slow on Sunday which I love! Just time to waste well, time!

Hope you all had a good weekend. Work has to start tomorrow.

Emo... What Emo?

A bit early to be emoing right. Wahhhhh. Wake up click the music and it's so sad all about love love one. Haiya! What is this? And I thought my shuffle would give me some nice music.

Though I have to admit sometimes listening to music in the morning gives you an headache. Most likely we should like to music in the car going to work THEN slow start to listen in the office.

YES! I can do that. There are like 5 of us and all 4 of us are hearing to different music at one time. So you can see that it's quite a party up there. Hehehehe.

The Final Countdown

Over the top song to here in the morning eh? My mind is like huh? This is too inspiring and it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early to do so. But it's still a nice rock song.

Whooooooooooooooosh!

Can't believe another has gone by. Whooooooooooooooooosh. New word kua I will be using today. Though it's going to be another tough day! More with people handling.

I tell you. I can kill all of them!

Fast-tracked Monday

Today seems to be the busiest day of my working life. I mean I had time to eat etc but serious, I just lost of all time. Meeting most of the way and a lot of things to do. Whooooooooooooooosh!

Though let me tell this up front, I will not tolerate people who thinks they are damn great. I don't give a f whether you are a girl and guy. So, you better watch out!

Old Cock

It seems that I'm an old cock!

T_T

All the muscles in my body are so tight making me like a tough chicken.

Lau liao la. Aihhhhhhhhhhhh.

But hope my fats go away too.

The Transporter

Finally, I watched it. Nothing too wow about this movie but I guess it's not too bad la. :)

Just I need some violence. Don't think I'm ready for Mamma Mia first. Hahahaha. It's too happy!

Satuuuuuuuuuuurday

Hmmmmmmmm. I'm going to be alone tonight. Yay. At least I get my own-self time now. If not, wahhhhhh. So much noise. I guess I would be seeing more TV series'.

Though, I have gotten a new phone service called the EDGE. It's quite cool I have to say. I hope it doesn't kill my phone bill. Eikkkkssssss.

Filing Friday

Never in my life, I have done so much filing. Yes, I did it for PMR, SPM, A Levels and Uni. But this is insane. Holy macaroni! But I guess I'm quite proud that it was done in 1 week.

Though to be honest, there is more to come. But hell no I'm not doing it! We shall see how this goes. :)

Finance crisis: in graphics

Now this is more like it. For noob and dodo like me for the Finance Crisis happening, this is a much better way of display what's really happening. I find it very funny. But I know it isn't because people might have lost everything. Nevertheless, I believe this is all greed.

Remember, nothing is too good to be true.

From the BBC.

It is shaping up to be one of the most tumultuous times on record in the global financial markets.

The financial landscape is going through a period of upheaval with some major firms folding, other operations merging and a limited number of companies in both the Europe and the US, being rescued at a governmental level.

THE CASUALTIES

As the global financial crisis has worsened, the number of firms to crumble or be bought out has increased.


US BAIL-OUT

Governments have spent billions of dollars on rescue packages, led by the US with its $700bn rescue package.

SHARE PRICES

Banks have continued to suffer the steepest falls in share prices. HBOS share prices fell sharply on Tuesday, down 26% at one point, before picking up again.

Royal Bank of Scotland shares have followed a very similar downward path. The bank suffered a pre-tax loss of £691m in the first six months of 2008, the second biggest in UK banking history.

US bank Merrill Lynch was taken over by Bank of America on 15 September prompting an initial recovery in shares, but they have since dipped again.


Fortis shares were falling sharply until a rescue deal was mounted by European banks on 29 September.

Central banks cut interest rates

Seven central banks - including the Bank of England - have cut their interest rates by 50 basis points.

The UK rate move - which had not been expected until Thursday - puts interest rates at 4.5% from 5%.

The US Federal Reserve has cut rates from 2% to 1.5% and the European Central Bank trimmed its rate from 4.25% to 3.75%.

The central banks of Canada, China, Sweden and Switzerland all took similar action in the co-ordinated move.

The unprecedented step is aimed at steadying a faltering global economy and slumping stock markets.

The Fed said that it had acted "in light of evidence pointing to a weakening of economic activity and a reduction in inflationary pressures".

Malaysian PM 'to quit in March'

Well, I didn't want to speculate but of course I was right. Takut ISA mah. :D

From the BBC.

Malaysia's Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has announced that he will step down from office in March.

The move will effectively hand power of the ruling National Front coalition Umno, and therefore the job of prime minister, to his deputy Najib Razak.

Mr Abdullah has been under pressure to quit since disastrous election results earlier this year.

He has faced discontent within his own party, and also an increasingly strong opposition led by Anwar Ibrahim.

"I am now announcing I will not seek the presidency of Umno in the upcoming elections. I want a party that is united," Mr Abdullah told a news conference.

By tradition, the president of Umno is leader of the coalition government and therefore prime minister as long as the coalition is in power.

"I hope Najib will be my successor, I believe he can win," Mr Abdullah told reporters.

Switching allegiance

Mr Abdullah resisted pressure to resign in the immediate aftermath of the election result in March, in which the government lost its two-thirds majority in parliament for the first time since Malaysian independence.

Many of Umno's traditional supporters from the majority Malay community switched allegiance to Anwar Ibrahim's multiracial coalition, the People's Alliance.

In the months after the polls, Mr Abdullah hammered out a plan for a transition of power to Mr Najib in 2010, but his critics still remained unsatisfied.

Mr Anwar is now threatening to bring down the government with parliamentary defections from the National Front.

All go go go!

Hahaha. Now, I have a lot of things to do. Ekkkkkkkkkkssssss. Wish me luck.

Good Bye My Friend!

Good bye my friend. My very good friend. So sad. T_T

May you rest in peace. You took the fall for me. I will always remember you!


You served me well. But your brother will do a finer job. :D

Got Rejected

Yea so much for keeping my hopes high for 8 months! Go die la Shell! :D

Too bad, you are losing a good employee! Muahahahahaha!

Selamat Hari Raya

Sorry for the late wish but hey, it's celebrated for 30 days. :)

"SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI!"

DARN!!!

Can you see what time I'm writing this post!!! You know what it is again. That stupid $#%$(#@$*$&(#@$ insect which flies and sucks blood!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An Yong Ha Sae Yo

Sorry, I didn't say where I have been for the past 1 week. I wanted to write something but I had no time AGAIN.

But you guess it right. I'm sure you know where I went for this Raya weekend.

There is more to come. :)

Questions and More Questions?

I'm only crazy that's all. Lol.

But I guess I just wanted to ask a few more questions but time was running short. Too short.

I need more time!

Good Sleep

Well, it wasn't like total blackout sleep but it was sure a nice one. I was for once know that after a good talk, I would cuddle up and just dream off to a nice place.

I also dunno what I dreamt about but I know my body wasn't tensed and I refuse to wake up!

Thanks.

DiGi

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Now I know it's 70% owned by guess which country? My favourite all white country Norway. It seems that Telenor has like 70% stakes in it.

Talking about these Norwegians. Powerful man with their super tall guys and not to mention chicks. :P

We learn something new everyday.

NO MORE COFFEE!

Well more like no more caffeine! Son of a gun man.

Just drank a Mocha and I had so many weird dreams. Got war ones. Sad ones for some odd reasons etc.

Hmph. No more coke and coffee!

The only drink which is black especially carbonated and doesn't have caffeine is SARSI!. Yum yum. :)

Sleep Sleep More Sleep

Okay. Today, it's quite weird for me to have a sleeping marathon. Woke up at 10 which is very odd. Then slept again at 3-530.

O_O

Zhu wo. But then I was just tired. Just didn't want to open my eyes.

p/s: Prison Break is just crazy la. It's like the Company always win. Can they once beat them! Grrrrrrrrr.

Teresa Kok Released

FINALLY! I hope she is doing well. Though it's just stupid la!

From Malaysiakini.

DAP Seputeh MP Teresa Kok was released at 1pm today, after being held under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for a week, revealed her lawyer Sankara Nair.

At press time, she was at the Jalan Travers police station waiting for her release documents to be processed, he told Malaysiakini.

Teresa walked out from the police station at 1.40pm along with Sanakar and her personal aide, Mandy Ooi.

She will be holding a press conference at 3.30pm at the DAP headquarters in Petaling Jaya.

HMCS Protecteur

For the first time ever, I set foot on an operational warship. It's more of a supply ship but hell yea man. The other time I set foot onover a ship was in Pearl Harbour! Hahaha. Well, I suppose that's not counted.

Anyway, we got invited to go on the HMCS Protecteur. This ship belongs to the Canadians. And let me say that the Canadians are just damn nice. :) I love their seafood and of course their weather. The extreme cold! Muahahaha.

In all her mighty. And ah, my new batik shirt too. Nice eh? :P

Sorry I can't really post what I saw in the ship. Nanti they find me and kill me man. So this shall suffice for now. :)

Enjoy!

Hmmmmmmmm

Nothing also today. What is there left? Tian Chua said 24-48 hours. Tomorrow is coming to the 48 hours leh.

Not to mention so hebat, Najib become Minister of Finance and Mr PM is THE Minister of Defense.

We know what's going to happen la.

Anwar claims more than 31 MPs will cross over

Music to my ears! Malaysiakini is down so I have to make do with the Star.

From the Star.

PETALING JAYA: Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has claimed that more than 31 Barisan MPs have agreed to cross over to Pakatan Rakyat.

He, however, refused to reveal the names of the 31 MPs.

Anwar told a press conference at the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya on Tuesday that he would give the list of the names to the Prime Minister when he meets him.

The Permatang Pauh MP also claimed that the transition to the new Government has been delayed a few days pending the meeting with Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to ensure a smooth and peaceful transition.

“The numbers are increasing by the hour, but as of now, it is in excess of 31 MPs.

"This is not empty talk. I am fully responsible for my statement but we have choose to be patient and use the conciliatory way,” the PKR adviser said.

He called on Abdullah to meet with him, where he said he would even give the Prime Minister the names of Barisan MPs wanting to defect to the Pakatan Rakyat alliance of opposition parties.

“I am appealing (for this meeting) in the name of political stability and a smooth transition. It will be preposterous for the Prime Minister to deny me this meeting,” said Anwar, who was flanked by leaders from PKR, DAP, PAS and even non-member Parti Sosialis Malaysia.

Asked why he still refused to give the exact number of defecting MPs or their names, Anwar said there was a fear the MPs would be detained or harassed if their names were released.

Asked what he would do if Abdullah refused to see him, Anwar smiled and replied: “Why assume he will refuse to see me? I am his friend. I believe we will meet.”

He said Pakatan would give Abdullah some time to consider because the latter was having problems within his own party.

Pressed for a deadline for a meeting with Abdullah, Anwar said he did not like to give any ultimatum but it should be within the next few days or “other options would be considered.”

He said he would refer to his coalition partners in Pakatan to discuss the next course of action, but was committed to ensuring the takeover was constitutional.

Anwar was non-committal when asked if he would seek an audience with the Yang DiPertuan Agong to present himself as commanding a majority in Parliament, or if he would seek a motion of no-confidence against Abdullah at the next Parliament sitting in October.

He said these options would be discussed with other Pakatan leaders.

Anwar said that in a letter submitted to Abdullah on Monday, Pakatan had made four demands to ensure a smooth transition:

1) That Barisan does not hinder or prevent the MPs from acting in accordance with their conscience, constitutional rights and independentjudgement;

2) That the Barisan government should not invoke the Internal Security Act to detain the MPs or any other current Pakatan MPs;

3) That the Barisan government does not invoke emergency laws or police powers or suspend the Constitution or dissolve Parliament; and

4) That the Barisan government shall not impose roadblocks or impede MPs from going to Parliament or any institution of government.

A Change of Government?

Tadda. So they say la. Well, we just have to see another 2-3 days.

But many are speculating about the use of ISA. You know what I mean.

Pray hard!

D-Day

It's upon us. To change or not to change. That is the question.

We shall be waiting closely tomorrow.

Though don't wish too hard too.

Lehman Bros files for bankruptcy

Well, I won't say I told you so because I have loads of friends being in this company. Not to say that they were in for like 4-5 years but just joined the bank like 3 months ago. They worked their ass off for this and look what happened.

They have to go through the entire process and what's worse is that they have to do it in recession. And of course I hope they don't!

However, all of these are too good to be true. Not to pry on this, but didn't I tell you that oil and gas is the way. It's always constant and always in demand. Well, within our lifetime anyway.

All the best peeps. Just remember to keep your head high. You didn't do anything wrong!

From the BBC.

The fourth-largest investment bank in the US, Lehman Brothers, has filed for bankruptcy protection, amid a growing global financial crisis.

Lehman had incurred losses of billions of dollars in the US mortgage market.

The move threatens to deal a further blow to the global financial system, as banks unwind their deals with Lehman.

Merrill Lynch, also stung by the credit crunch, has agreed to be taken over by Bank of America in a dramatic weekend of events for Wall Street.

Its impact is being felt around the world:

Stock markets and the US dollar have tumbled in reaction to Lehman's collapse, with banking shares hardest hit. UK bank HBOS saw its shares plummet 30%.

Central banks have moved to reassure markets. The US Federal Reserve has broadened its emergency lending scheme and the UK and European central banks have injected a total of $39bn (£22bn; 28bn euros) into the financial system.

There are fears AIG, once the world's largest insurer, could also face collapse. It is taking steps to raise money amid reports it is seeking a $40bn emergency loan from the Fed.

Bank of America's move to buy Merrill in a $50bn deal means that three of the top five US investment banks have fallen prey to the sub-prime crisis within six months.

In the UK, accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers have been appointed as administrators for Lehman.

Anxious markets

Stock markets in Europe and Asia dropped sharply and the dollar tumbled against the yen, the euro and the Swiss franc as Lehman's failure raised fears about the strength of the global financial system.

The FTSE 100 index of leading UK shares was down 271 points, or 5%, at 5145.3 by midday.

Wall Street is also expected to open lower in what is likely to be a tense day of trading.

The Bank of England and the European Central Bank said they were monitoring developments and had pumped £5bn and $30bn respectively into money markets to help stabilise them.

US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said he would work with regulators and policy-makers around the world to maintain the stability of financial markets.

"I am confident in the resilience of our capital markets, and in the commitment of US regulators and market participants to work together through this difficult period," Mr Paulson said.

Talks collapse

The chance that Lehman Brothers could collapse increased sharply after the strongest potential buyers pulled out at the weekend.

Barclays and Bank of America had been in talks to rescue the bank but negotiations faltered when it became clear that the US Treasury was strongly opposed to using government money to help clinch a deal.

The Treasury had given $30bn backing to Bear Stearns in order to secure its sale to JP Morgan in March.

Greg Wood, the BBC's North America business correspondent, said that police had cordoned off the bank's headquarters in New York and staff were leaving with cardboard boxes as onlookers gathered to watch the bank's demise.

"I think the whole history - 150 years of effort and hard work - that's the most saddening part for me," said one Lehman employee as she left the building.

The bank, which employs about 25,000 staff worldwide, including 5,000 in the UK, was founded in 1850 by three brothers.

'Extraordinary 24 hours'

Lehman Brothers said it intended to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which allows a company time to reorganise and devise a plan to pay creditors over time.

It said that its broker-dealer division and asset management division Neuberger Berman Holdings would not be included in the filing.

The accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers said the UK operations of Lehman Brothers have been placed under administration, and the business would be wound down in an orderly fashion.

Bank of America said it had agreed to buy investment bank Merrill Lynch for $50bn (£28bn), in a deal that will create the world's largest financial services company.

Three of the top five US investment banks have now fallen victim to the credit crunch.

Lehman and Merrill join Bear Stearns, which was sold to JP Morgan for a knockdown price in March.

The BBC's business editor, Robert Peston, said that it had been Wall Street's most extraordinary 24 hours since the late 1920s.

He said that Merrill's sale was almost as shocking as Lehman's demise.

"The global financial economy has never in recent years been tested by quite such a combination of accidents and jolts to confidence," he said.

Insurer in trouble

In addition to Lehman and Merrill Lynch, problems at AIG, once the world's largest insurer, are also mounting.

Reeling from losses on its exposure to real estate, AIG has sought $40bn from the Federal Reserve to shore up its finances, the New York Times has reported.

To help prevent panic on financial markets, the Federal Reserve said for the first time it will accept stocks owned by banks as collateral for short-term cash loans, broadening its emergency lending programme.

Also 10 of the world's biggest banks on Sunday agreed to establish a $70bn emergency fund, with any one of the banks able to able to tap up to a third of it should they face any liquidity problems.

SHOES!!!

Now, let's see what we can do today? Watch a movie. Tired.

Ah yes, I know. I polished my shoe! Yay. Well, I think I have done it like 2-3 times in my life. Yes yes. Brat I know. But what to do. My shoe needs a good shine.

Speaking of which I think I need another pair of shoes. Any suggestions?

p/s: They don't sell my shoes anymore. T_T

Laugh until stomach pain?

You read all these comments by our politicians can laugh until you can pee in your pants one.

Seriously.

In Malaysiakini, the minister say(you guess who) said that it was the reporters fault for starting the information spread.

Tadda. This is the brilliant minister's work at his best.

Hello! You got to be kidding me!

What are reporters are suppose to tell? Your love for all races story and somehow filter all those bad remarks made by some %*$#&#$ idiot! Or what? Create stories ah? That also use ISA. Write the truth also use ISA.

It's just a lose lose lose lose situation for journalist. Sigh!

Faster change la. It's just too sickening to listen to this anymore.

It's Everywhere

Well, you know what I will talk about now.

But I don't even need to talk to you. From BBC to every website who talks about politics.

I guess we can hold our head high up once we have a new change of government once and for all!

Teresa Kok and More

Gila babi. I just woke up and see all these headlines.

You know, not that this is inflammatory remark by me, I believe from the bottom of my heart that the Government has no idea on what or how to govern a country where they are strongly not wanted anymore by the people.

They are just saying, 'HAH, see I got ISA ambik tu! Padan muka!' Didn't I say you don't even need to be in politics to know what is right or wrong?

My question is: Are they trying to rule with passion and the love for our benifit or fear. Fear that they might be out for good, they had to resort to this.

Many has said that this act is to incite more hatred between all races and who knows they will use the Emergency rule to take control of everything. Well, anything is possible these days.

Action speaks louder than words! So just watch out! Power is always sweet but remember there is always other greater power outside from the box.

RPK vs Ahmad Ismail

I want to write about my Hong Kong trip but seriously, our news here in Malaysia is just too 'panas'. Well, I'm kinda panas now because I ate curry. I feel I'm on fire now. Hahaha.

Anyway, back to the topic of RPK is now under ISA. Whereas our beloved Ahmad Ismail may be is having a celebrating party thinking he is invisible.

Aihhhhh. No point going on about it. Just feel like shit about this. How la a country we love so much just fall into tatters now.

Sedih kan?

Hong Kong Babe!

So where do I start? I shall skip the airport part as I feel that I will not do justice to it. I'm just in love with their airport. So, that will be on another post.

Bank of China! With the lamp post there. Aihhhhhhhh. I dunno why it's always there one. :(

My room. Very tranquil and simple.

My toilet. Damn small! Die la like that if a fat fat person masuk!

Novotel.

So after arriving and settling into the hotel about 4 p.m., we decided to go to see HK at night. Now, who are we? Of course, it's me, Heng Kai, Cindy and Ben(a new found friend)

Don't you think it's damn nice!

The Beijing torch!

No idea what this is actually.

Avenue of Stars. Their China Theatre here in Hong Kong.

And not but not least, my little bro and I in Hong Kong. :)

9/11

Wow, doesn't time fly. Almost 7 years after those attacks on America. It's just crazy. Not to mention I was up in KLCC today and just imagining a plane coming towards you and crash into it. My goodness.

But to be honest, there is nothing much or media coverage on it. It's like nothing have had happened.

The past is the past and now we look to the future.

p/s: I'm still waiting for a call. I said if I get that call, it will snow in Malaysia. :D

What Is Coming To?

I know the title is crap. So, is our current situation for my beloved country. There is no point in me telling what the entire story is or what the current headlines are. All I know now, it's just crap and I wish we all can live happily ever after.

Can or not?

What A Day!

Dah lah come in late all these problems just thrown at my face. Oh well, I suppose that's working life. But now, it's time to step up more. May be it's for the best!

Hong Kong

Here is a taster.


Hong Kong is quite fun. :)

Back

Guess who is back! Well, I wanted to update the blog but I'm so tired now. Oh well, I definitely had a good trip but yet I wished I had more. Not more days but just more time well-used.

Sigh

Bananas. I didn't sleep much later night. Must be my apple, carrot and ginger juice yesterday. It's suppose to cleanse the body but may be it energised instead. Ishhhhhh.

So, I feel very restless now and I hope I can work good since I'm off tomorrow. Yay! I'm on leave. :P

Let The Process Begin!

Here we go and it's one hell of a task let me tell you. I'm going up against the biggest company in Malaysia and I hope I can sail through this.

I have my resources. I have my charm. *cough cough* I should be able to get it in a month's time. I pray pray very hard. First time lucky!

It's Here

Suuuuu goi!!! It was really fast and I thought I won't be apply to receive my letter. Mana tau it came from DHL. :)

You will know why soon enough.

Happy Birthday Malaysia

HAPPY 51th BIRTHDAY MALAYSIA!

PERPADUAN TERAS KEJAYAAN!

Incompetant People

It's just frustrating to know that this people want to give orders but sendiri useless. Please la. Look at yourself at the mirror before you tell people what to do etc.

I don't want to go into details but even with common sense you can tell that something is just wrong from their actions.

First Meeting

Let me tell you. It was freaking intense man. I mean it's like really aggressive! Bananas! Even for a noob like me also get work. Gave me chills man.

So many things to do. Though I have to admit I have very nice people to work with and I think together we can build the company. :)

Permatang Pauh! You are the best!

So embarrassed until can't tell the Malaysian people meh.

Win win already la. Anyway, just to note, this is unoffical news from Malaysiakini.

Anwar Ibrahim won by 16,210 votes. Yay. Much bigger than his wife but hey, you know what needs to be done.

Thank you Permatang Pauh. Now, a new date I'm looking for is the 16th of September. Would this become a new dawn.

I pray very hard.

- Update -

Now, Anwar won by 15,550 votes. Who cares. He still wins. :P

Anwar Ibrahim a MP

Ain't it obvious? Well, 53% only voted. Nah, I'm sure all this 'created' traffic jam is to prevent people FROM voting not those who wants to find out who they voted for. Tskk tskk.

A new dawn is here.

COME ON PERMATANG PAUH!!!

Come onnnnnnnnn. Faster la. I want to see whether Malaysia will change for the better or worse!!!

Guan Zhe - Beijing, Beijing, Wo Ai Ni!

Wo ai Beijing!!! Well, not that I have been there but I would love to see this great city.

Hopefully

Well, hopefully it gets approved. Hmmmmmm.

A bit bored now just can't wait till tomorrow what the result is for the Permatang Pauh election.

Happy Birthday Dom

Well, I think it was yesterday but happy birthday. I'm just being a slug not doing anything today. Sorry and hope you have a good rested(whichI think you have been doing all mid year) day. :)

Famous Wor by Fly FM

Well, I have to say, I'm quite proud to be blogged on a celebrity blog, Prem, the DJ for Flyfm during Rush Hour. They(Jules and Prem) are a funny bunch. :)

Prem, Jules, Shea Maine and me. :)

I think my grin is too big. Hmmmmmmm.

Ain't this comfy? :)

New Wallet

So long old wallet and in with the new. Everything now is new. Yay.

Well, I think it's about high time I changed my wallet. I had this old wallet since I was Form 4 I think till now. I know there are some people who have their wallets for over 20 years make that 60 la. :D

But the leather of the wallet was coming out already and it's yucky to touch it. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Damn chan already.

The sides are even worse.

And tadda. Meet my new wallet from DKNY. I got it sometime ago though. Nice eh. :P

So now, I can put 12 cards. And more of my name card. *Cough cough*

Goodbye Toothbrush

Like that also need to say goodbye meh. It has been 7 years and 7 months I used this toothbrush and finally, yesterday it said its last spinhead(well, the toothbrush rotates la).

Anyway, I have to throw you away and my new one is totally a disappointment. So, I'm still getting a new one. :)

We shall see.

14,000 visitor

Woot. Not bad. 14,000 visitor. Though I think 50% is me? Hahahaha. Well, thanks for reading my blog and I know my blog is really cacat. It's all over the place.

But I guess it's more of a place where I can ramble, nag, bitch etc about anything under the sky.

First Forum

Wah, not bad. I attended my first forum representing my company(which by the way, I was like the super underdog of all dogs). Most of the participant were GM of their companies. Malu me attending and to meet with them. Ishhhhhh. To make it worse, my mentor even didn't attend this. Blah.

But all in all, I learnt quite a number of things from them and hey, they are not GMs for no reasons. They are bright and smart for sure.

I suppose after my ordealexperience, I'm glad to say I attended this forum. Afterall, I did get a 9 course meal to eat what. :D

Malaysia Boleh

It was a valiant attempt but I guess we need to work more now eh. Lin Dan beat our top national player. All I can say is that we must keep training hard and harder than ever. :)

On the good note, Lin Dan is a leftie. Go leftie!!! :P

Blades of Glory

Hahahaha. I saw it twice. Stupid ASTRO cut so many scenes. Ishhhhh. Quite funny la and of course humanly impossible. :) Though I always want to see Michelle Kwan to skate. It was the best.

Anjing Betina

How can one handle rude people? Not to say I'm so polite like I'm an angel but seriously.

Ish.

Sorry la if I called an embassy instead of a florist. You don't need to be that aggressive. And yes I don't need to know that you have a maid called Katherine! Now, the world knows happy.

Anjing betina.

I wonder whether you look like this. :P (Just to note, I googled b***h and this was the first picture it popped up. Shocking and how interesting!)

Hmph.

Late

Late already for work and I'm still on MSN still talking to Kai. Lol. Well, nevermind. I'm a super fast person.

Have fun people. I guess it's the bread I just ate which made me happy.

To Work or Not To Work?

Does work that the life out of someone. Hmmmmmm. But as for now I kinda like working, though not much work has been given to me. I'm trying to make the office more efficient and workable of course. :)

But yes yes, working is fun. And if you have nice colleagues sure who does your work. Muahahahaha!

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Well, I would it's just fun but I still prefer number 1 and 2. It was just original. This Emperor's army was small leh. I mean yea yea, in the thousands of stone soldiers but can't beat the might of guns right. And of course, over the top that there's a Shangri-la out there somewhere. Tskk tskk.

Beijing Olympics

One word.

SPECTACULAR!

Only the Chinese can do it as they all say it. And they are certainly right. :)

Just thinking what London has to offer then. ;)

Definitely, I will make a write up about their engineering feet for all of their buildings. It's too good not to.

Sunday Oh Sunday

Sorry, I haven't been updating much for the past days. Just had nothing much to say other for work.

But first of all, the Olympics is the BOMB! London, I'm sure you fainted when you saw that opening. And I don't think the Council can raise anymore money for your Olympics. China spent about $40 billion. Good luck.

Will write more later as I'm going out for lunch.

It's Almost Here! Beijing Olympics!

Finally, my Olympics countdown is almost here. After almost more than 1 year I have put it on this blog, we saw all see a spectacular show every shown!

Let the games begin!

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

I so loooooooooooooooooong wanted to say that this entire week!!! This video says it all. :)



Now, I feel better.

I'm Sick

I need sympathy now. Loads of it. Especially work in this condition. It sucks. T_T

Sighhhhhhh. I need to eat more Vitamin C the whole lot.

Wow!

How a week can fly pass. I'm learning something new every day which is good but this is just the tip of an iceberg! Fuyoh, what a proverb there.

Anyway, I better get going for my weekend. It's going to be a long tiring one although it's suppose to be a holiday. Pffffffffffffft!

Chris Daughtry - Over You

A damn good song! Well, I know it's old but now I'm hooked on it. Just hear the lyrics and you know what I mean. :)

Sorry no proper MTV clip.

Early Thursday

I have been semi busy with work, wah blogging a bit hard. Then work also can't access to this. Lagi teruk.

Anyway, I am finally in the payroll. I got an account in Employees Provident Fund (EPF), I have some savings when I grow old. :D

Work is good and fun. These people are good and funny. :P

Let's Sodomise Everyone

This is getting old. Nothing else but more sodomy here and sodomy there. You know what our dear current government, it's just making you like a fool. Come come let me sodomy everyone. Isssssh!

Not that I want to see the Government topple but I think it's a breath of fresh air to see a new body. Don't keep saying they don't know how to run a Government. They have to start from somewhere. And who knows. They might do a better job.

Anyway, I hope to see a better future in Malaysia ya. Though it's quite hard for me to see Dr Anwar to become our PM. Hmmmmmmmm.

Burning Tuesday

Is it just me or today it was just so hot that you can cook an egg on the roadside. Goodness. It was just like heaven just eating lunch in your office. Sad but true. It was just so hot. I'm sure it was about 35 degrees.

Anyway, I have been emo the entire day. Sigh!

To make things worse, Streamyx died on me.

T_T

But now, after Indian food which makes me even hotter now, the net is up. Yay!

Though I'm very tired now. So, I will sleep soon. :)

Maybank2U

I have to say it's quite good. They have loads of options and services you can do online. Far more supreme than HSBC.

Then only think which I was very annoyed is that I can't open an account anywhere I wish. The only place you can open an account is near your house which is ridiculous. What happens if you change your address other than your IC, let's say from Kelantan and now you are working in KL. So, I have to go back to Kelantan to open la ah? Gsssssssh.

The process is not too bad and the best part is that I get a debit visa card on the spot which is really good compared to HSBC which I had to wait for more than a week and months due to them issuing back to KL!!! A bit DUH! But yes they do.

They have loads of security. Unbelievable. If you want to change your details, you require a TAC number which you obtain from the ATM. Then you use that number to change your details. But this TAC changes every 120 minutes or so, then if you still want to change, you have to get a new TAC number. Not bad.

Thumbs up for Maybank2U! I will be using their services more. Also now, I have to do my EPF. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Super Fast Sunday

Woke up at 10 then zoom to Pavilion then zoom back. Then off to Lake Club. Then go to Bangsar Village. And that was my Sunday. No time to rest also.

And I have to wake up at 615 a.m tomorrow. T_T

Happy Birthday Jia Jer

Well, I know you said old already but haiya. Just one year wiser la. Hahaha. How come this month got so many birthday ones. I already wished more than 4 times here and facebook nearly 15 times. Ishhhhhh.

Happy birthdays are good fun nevertheless. :)

The Dark Knight

Oh man. I'm still amazed with the show. I dunno whether I would see it again in the scene. It just gives me the goosebumps. I know I was suppose to blog about this earlier but I have been tired lately.

Anyhow, Heath Ledger should get an Oscar for this performance. It was spot on and gave a different side of the Joker. Though haiya, not worth transforming yourself into the Joker for 2 weeks and then a few months later you ter-die.

A good show to watch. Definitely going to be a big blockbuster in this lifetime. Something different with the action-pack superhero.
