Proton is cheaper in UAE than in Malaysia?
I read somewhere that Proton are selling their cars cheaper in the UAE ( maybe in other countries also), compared to Malaysia. It is claimed that the prices are set that low for market penetration. Anyone here knows about this?
Market penetration pricing. Seems like Proton cars are selling at a much higher profit margin to Malaysians than the other countries (not proven of it). And here I thought that national cars should be sold cheaper in their own country?
No matter how ridiculous it seems, Malaysians will still be buying the not so cheap(same quality?) Protons. or maybe PERODUA!!
Milk produced in Malaysia is just wasted away?
Recently, I heard that about RM20+ of milk which is produced in Malaysia was just poured away. It seems that the manufacturers who need milk as their material prefer imported milk due to a cheaper pricing. Hence, the milk was left to turn sour and just poured away. What a waste..
Why can't the price be lowered down to match with the competition? And minimise the loss as well. It is said that the government plans to set a quota that the manufacturers must buy local milk before buying those imported ones. Another protective mechanism. This is perhaps why Malaysia cannot compete with the other countries. Just let the business owners make losses. Definitely, they will think of ways to make profit, thus increasing the competition and improving Malaysia.
It is the same case as Proton? Why can't Proton manufacture a supercar, when they have a subsidiary which does it and is entering F1 in 2010. Till date, they only show us "Lotus handling". Something like that...
Mercedes E- Class W212
Yes, this is the new Mercedes Benz E Class W212. This is the colour which is used in advertisements. I guess this is the best colour afterall. The front lights have been changed to rectangle-ish from oval shape, making it more ferocious? The oval shaped lamps have been used for 2 generations already. However, the concept of "1 big 1 small" front light is still preserved. The fog light, which is like an "L" is quite new to me. Besides, the signal light at the side mirrors are like forks, instead of a rectangle in the older version. From here, the rear looks a bit like the S-class.

Price of an Mercedes Benz E300: RM450k++
Ampang Look out Point
Sorry for the late post. Went to Ampang Look Out Point on 9/10 to celebrate YeeHao, WenJing and ChengHong's birthdays. 3 birthdays, celebrate in one go XD. Had dinner in Gasoline.
KarHoe's car while we gathered at the Shell petrol kiosk near Ampang. It seemed like the order of the " car following arrangement" is messed up. Time to rearrange which car following which car...
The view of KL... City of light?
Our tables.. Many tables and chairs to accommodate many people
Tsk, additional RM2 without ice...
Group Photo!!
Ordered mushroom chicken chop. Something like that. It tasted just acceptable. However, there is a breach in health and safety regulations? I saw a chef preparing the salad, taking the vege, without gloves on, just bare hands?
~Sorry for the super-lateness~
Exam ended... Semester ended....
F7 F8 F9.. Those are the subject code of the subjects that I sat for. Financial Reporting, Audit & Assurance and Finance Management. And today, it is the day the semester really ended. Thanks to all my lecturers no matter what are the results.
F8 was the first day, then F9 and F7. F8 was quite do-able, despite many surprises. F9, one of my favourite paper wasn't so. Did not understand and screwed my favourite paper badly? Maybe. And lastly, F7, do-able as well, although there are some elements of surprise. But these surprise weren't welcomed!!!
Anyway, it is time to enjoy and suffer when 22th February 2010 comes....
~Happy Holidays to all!!!~
Bugatti Veyron crashed into saltwater lagoon
Reason of crash: Distracted by pelican! LoL

Some songs of Gary Cao
Love this song the most!!!
你的笑容是恩惠世界难得那麽美
於是追要你陪
可惜本能终会将美丽汗水化成泪水
黑夜之所以会黑叫醒人心里的鬼
在游说在萦回
在体内是什麽在把我摧毁在伤痕累累
我可以无所谓寂寞却一直掉眼泪
人类除了擅长颓废
做什麽都不对 oh … i'm not okay
我假装无所谓才看不到心被拧碎
人在爱情里越残废
就会越多安慰无论(有)多虚伪
空虚并非是词汇能够形容的魔鬼
它支配着行为
能摆脱寂寞我什麽都肯给就像个傀儡
And, below are the vids of his fight with 侧田. Lol..
奸夫!! LoL
This happened in ChongQing, China. Husband came back and found out another guy was sleeping with his wife. Had to stand naked on the air compressor.
SYABAS
No water supply again. For the second day. The supply is back for about 17hours or so and then it is lost again. Just few hours without water is extremely difficult. Imagine you came home from outside and someone break the news to you and you can't bath!! Where are you going to bath? Argh. What's more, you get your drinking water straight from the tap, after being filtered. No, you have to go and get mineral water.
When called to ask, they said yesterday something near Carrefour Wangsa Maju was damaged and today was Pangsa Murni. My sister ask... Then tomorrow leh? Where spoil? LoL.
This reminds me of this clip from Namewee, who scolded TNB this time.For those who just want to see him argue, stop watching at 3:58.
Karaoke @ Superstar
Went for karaoke @ Superstar Karaoke,located in Wangsa Walk Mall. They are using TOUCH SCREEN!!! Just touch here and there and choose your songs. Playlist up to 5 pages, each with 10 songs, so 50 songs in total. You can search by "writing" out the song title under "search". They provide you a remote control as well. However, the annoying thing about this touchscreen is that, when you stop the song, you have to go to the screen to confirm it.
Outside food and drinks are allowed in the premise. Unlike RedBox, which you are required to buy the food and drinks from them.
The people there are quite nice. The room given is very small and very near to the screen. After awhile, we complain and they gave us another room. Although both are considered as small rooms, but the 2nd room is much comfortable to the eyes.
I have no idea whether the songs are as many as RedBox and Neway, but those from very famous artistes are available.
There are packages provided as well. The package I went for is for a small room one, with 2.5 hours of singing time, no food and drinks provided. Price of it.. RM60. For big room, they go on per hour basis I think, RM38/hour. I don't know how many people can it fit though.
A FAILED goal
What a goal.. The irony is that the beach ball is thrown by a Liverpool fan.. And Liverpool lost the match just by the goal. Too bad for Liverpool? Or is it fated to be like that?

When the sun goes down at the west,
And the darkness arrives from the east,
It is time to enrich our ownself,
Mentally, spiritually or physically,
It is time to think back of the day,
Which adds colour to our short short life...

Of being cheated? Maybe...
It started of with my watch that stop moving last month. First, I went to the only shop that deals with watches and clocks. They didn't have the equipment to open the cover of my watch. Hence, the battery couldn't be replaced. They recommended me to go to this shop at the first floor in Alpha Angle, Wangsa Maju.
My dad was the one who brought my watch there. That guy told him that the battery has no warranty. Well, the battery lasted just for few days and my watch "Stopped short, never go again". It was brought back to the same shop. This time, my dad was told that the circuit board was damaged and the repair cost is around RM200. Crazy, its more than half of the price of the watch.
My dad brought the watch to a shop in Wangsa Walk, located near the Cold Storage. A new battery is put into the watch, it moves again and stop after 3 days. LoL. It seemed that the battery moved. After readjustment, everything is well till now...
Too bad my dad threw away the receipt. So, people, please ask for second opinion, even for repairing watches..
Passed Grd 8 Practical finally.. Whew..
After about 2 months of waiting, my teacher finally receive the results for every student of hers. She called me on Friday (2/10/09) night and told me I passed, a borderline pass though. Well, for me, a pass is still a pass!!
*Relieved and happy*
The next day, my teacher gave me the results slip while she was having classes with my sister. 4 marks to go before i fail.. Pass all 3 songs and scales, but fail sight reading and aural!! Luckily the marks for the pieces and scales are enough to pull up my mark. Don't want to fail in piano exam again....
So now, the plans: Finish the theory.. Haiz.. Another year to go.. Take it slow and steady
Disasters don't come alone...
First the Ketsana, which started of in Philippines.
Second, 7.9magnitude earthquake off the coast of Samoa, creating a tsunami to land in Samoa and American Samoa.
Thirdly, another 7.9magnitude earthquake near Sumatera, creating tremors in Malaysia.
And this morning, another earthquake of 6.3magnitude occurs near Tonga, which is near to Samoa as well.
Besides, another typhoon, Parma, is approaching Philippines as well.
Whats wrong with the world? Is it the consequences for polluting and damaging the environment to obtain development??
Random-ness
不知不觉地喜欢上你
可慢半拍的我却没发觉
发觉时已太迟了
有缘却无分了。。。。。。
As the title says random-ness, this is a really random post by me....
No more Crayon shin-chan???
You guys may not know who Yoshito Usui is, but I am sure most of you know who Crayon Shin-Chan is. Well, Yoshito Usui is the creator of Shin-chan.. He was found dead at the bottom of a cliff on Mount Arafune in the Gunma Prefecture few days ago.
Crayon Shin-Chan is one of the funniest manga I've ever read.
Wonder what will happen to it.
