Get an "Upper Ground" in Interview!

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:30:00 +0000

Nowadays due to the global economy crisis struck, a lot of people lost their jobs during this crisis. So what they can do to get an upper ground during the interview is by getting an image consultant telling them what is their best look!

"Research has shown time and time again that first impressions are made within 10 seconds of meeting someone, we all make assumptions in the first 10 seconds of meeting somebody and they include that person's level of education, social standing, economic status, and how well they will do in the future." said Jean.

Seems like we all have to make the best out of our appearance, now it comes with the package (including your experience and education background)! Scarily demanding during this economy crisis!

Gabrielle Teare, a London-based personal stylist, told CNN that her clients include bankers who have been made redundant or are concerned about losing their job, while in Toronto, image consultant Lynda Jean told CNN she has clients who worry they're not given the same respect as their colleagues simply because of their appearance.

For those who are still unemployed (not because you did not try to search for jobs) you can try change your current appearance, go to stylist shop get your hair done, maybe you can get done with make up too! This is an investment on appearance instead of expenses....

By the way, men's clothes tend to be cheaper than women's, so women have to spend more to compete. So it's not surprising that women spend more than men.

For women, there are more details to worry about. "Hemlines shouldn't be too high, and necklines not too low," said Sanders. "Footwear should be appropriate, accessories not to flashy, and perfume not too overwhelming."

Friend Forgets You on His Birthday!

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:56:00 +0000

There is one friend of mine who's birthday is TODAY (30 October 2009)~
I don't want to mention his name for now, maybe soon he will be revealing himself to us. So let him do the introduction!

Definitely sad about this because the fella who always call you "BROTHER" from the beginning (we've known each other since 2007) until yesterday, this so-called "BROTHER" forgets me.... I don't even know where have I done wrong... How can he punished me without telling my mistakes!!! =(

Of all the people wishing him, he said thanks to everyone of them EXCEPT me....

What do you guys think?? This shows he did it on purpose right???? T__T S-A-D!! ALL MY Brothers come support me on this issue please!!!! GIVE ME JUSTICE!!! Hehe~~~

HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY TO YOU (Ken) My Brother!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
updated on 31 Oct 09~
This picture shows that he was unintentionally skip to write comment on my wall post.
I dare to say that Ken's skipping to comment had caught my attention and help me get an idea to write out the joke for his birthday! OK lah I hope he get the joke~ Due to his internet line lagging these few days thus he was unable to write a comment, but I put it out so big in picture to show I did not forgets his birthday =P

Well I guess it's my fault since the post made Ken felt angry.... If I made the effort to make it longer probably instead of adding the "Hehe~~~" behind I should have added much longer by telling the reasons behind it. I never had the intention to offend him on Ken's birthday. If the post is a "sorrowful statement" it won't be this short...but it's okay.

I even message him in MSN telling him "specially made for you" and "happy belated birthday" along with the post link maybe he did not received the messages...and this post was TAGGED with "JOKES" too....

Well the damage is done so there's nothing I can do now beside sincerely apologising to him....Sigh....

~~We're good now, brother sure forgive another brother =D~~

Jobs That Pay £50,000‏

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:19:00 +0000

Since the start of 2008, companies have been embroiled in a so-called 'war on talent' as the jobs marketplace enters its most challenging and competitive period for several years. It's predicted many industry sectors will lose more jobs in 2009 and budgets will be slashed as a result of the testing economic conditions.

Despite this, many organisations are keen to hold onto their best staff, whilst workers will be tempted to switch employer, lured by the potential to earn a higher salary doing the same job elsewhere. As such, the last year has seen more people earning around £50,000 a year than ever before in jobs that would have paid less just a few years ago.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average salary in the UK is £31,969 (August 2008) with the likes of chartered accountants, college lecturers, and quantity surveyors typically earning this amount. But what about those people who earn significantly higher than that, say £50,000?

Using salary data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ONS), we have searched the web to find the top ten jobs that are currently available and pay around £50,000 a year.

1.Head of communications
Bill Gates once said, "If I had just one dollar left, I'd spent it on PR". With many organisations cutting their advertising and marketing spend, public relations is fast-becoming the preferred alternative for companies to communicate their message and raise their brand appeal. As a result, demand for skilled writers and creative bodies are at an all-time high and this demand has pushed salaries upwards. If you want to know where the war on talent is most fiercely fought, then the PR industry is your answer.

Pay: £49,000

With a number of airport expansion programmes taking place across world equating to three new Heathrow's being constructed over the next few years, demand for controllers is at a premium and salaries are at an all-time high. Their job is to manage the safe take-off and landing of several aircraft at the same time by monitoring and controlling an aircraft's height, speed and course.

Entry requirements: Despite being dominated by university graduates, a degree is not a pre-requisite.

Most people enter the profession via the National Air Traffic Services (NATS).

If you want to know how tough the market it, ask a sales manager. When economic conditions worsen, sales people are often the first to feel the pinch -- targets inevitably increase and so too does the pressure placed on the sales manager who not only needs to ensure that he hits his own target but also that his team of representatives hit theirs too. This could involve recruiting managers, organise product promotions, conduct regular business reviews or write reports and deliver presentations.

UPdated Facts to Know (2)

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 05:54:00 +0000

A new survey has been conducted by UKM and now they have published the result! The new finding is that Malaysians below 40 are at risk of having HEART DISEASE....That is the first thing I'm gonna share, the 2nd is a fact that our SPM grading system has CHANGED! There is a new grade call A+!

Malaysians below 40 are at risk of having HEART DISEASE

More young Malaysians below 40 are at risk of getting heart attacks due to poor diet and an unhealthy lifestyle, according to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre cardiology unit head Assoc Prof Dr Oteh Maskon.

He attributed this to the craving for teh tarik, roti canai, nasi lemak, smoking, and lack of exercise.

“They are at risk of obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes which could lead to heart ailments”, he told reporters after attending a public forum on heart disease at the centre here today.

So it is all come down to our fault for having such risk....Our parents always warn us not to have too much of everything! Maybe we all should always remind ourself about it.. Whatever we're having, it's all related to chemical so we can't avoid having food that is harmful to our body right?? Thus remember not to have too much of everything then it's gonna be okay....

Malaysians temp to have teh tarik, roti canai, and nasi lemak as their breakfast or lunch or maybe during their time out with friends....Thus making these food becoming their daily consumptions....Ask yourself about that!

New grading system in SPM, the A+ grade!
Finally the government wants to update our SPM grading system and it will be implemented this year...It's been a while since a lot of people getting a lot of A's and not many employers appreciate it anymore...A new change is required for the SPM to regain the credibility! A+ to G instead of 1A to 9G....

Once I've Been Asked to Translate "You Tiao"

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:10:00 +0000

Yes once I've Been Asked to Translate "You Tiao(油条)"! Can you tell me what is it called in English???

My friend said is there a english name for 油条?? Because he had been asked by other uncles and aunties. They flamed him by saying "A degree holder also don't know what is 油条 called in English? What for you study until degree holder!"

That day he asked me back the same thing, but I wasn't able to answer because this English-name 油条 has been heard way too long ago. We know there is a english name and we had heard it before but due to the reason we did not keep on using or recall the word thus we forgotten it....

Can't blame us right? Because we're living in a multiracial country and the 油条 seller don't speak english okay!!!!!

So let me share with you this word for 油条 is " CRULLER "

Cruller meaning extracted from WikiPedia

A traditional cruller (or twister) is a twisted, oblong, fried pastry made of dough somewhat like that of a cake doughnut, often topped with plain powdered sugar; powdered sugar mixed with cinnamon; or icing.

A related song sang by JJ, Dou Jiang You Tiao (豆浆油条), so remember to have cruller with soya =P

A Shock from Sumatra Earthquake

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:00:00 +0000

A powerful earthquake with 7.9 on the Richter scale hit southern Sumatra at about 6.17pm and Malaysia felt the slight effect... I am not aware of it until I read theStar news online. During that hour, I was on my way back home from all the stressful office work. Did you all felt the tremors???

It seems like Malaysians in Klang Valley, including the KL City Centre had exit from tall buildings! This shows how panic the earthquake(though just slight effect) caused....

In the JayaOne complex here, reports came in of shaking furniture and swaying fixtures.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued a tsunami alert for Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Thailand, The Associated Press said.

However, the Malaysian Meteorological Department said it has not issued a warning for Malaysia because it believes the waves will not reach Malaysian shores.

Super Memory Human

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 07:47:00 +0000

Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory at the University of California had recently identified 4 super memory humans, although there are more of them yet been identified.... They are Bob Petrella, Jill Price, Brad Williams, and Rick Baron. These people are gifted with super memory skills.

1. Bob Petrella (Male)
He is a Los Angeles based producer for the Tennis Channel. If you give him a particular date for example

March 30, 1981, he could tell you not only that it was the day Reagan was shot, but also that Indiana beat North Carolina for the NCAA championship that evening.

That shows how well his brain can retain information to the very last details! He is like a walking History Book!!!

2. Jill Price (Female)

She is known as "nonstop, uncontrollable and totally exhausting." She was the first to be diagnosed with the condition, and recently published a memoir, The Woman Who Can’t Forget

She can perform like what Bob Petrella. She find super memory as a nuisance because it seem impossible for her to forget painful experiences... That's really pain in the ass....

3. Brad Williams (Male)
He is a Wisconsin radio anchor. Well he is not as good as Bob Petrella because he had a hard time recall sport news but he remembers pop-culture trivia very well!

For instance, he could name you every Academy Award winner and even nailed all five questions in the category "1984 Movies" when he appeared on Jeopardy! in 1990.

4. Rick Baron (Male)
He is unemployed. But he uses his super memory skill to win stuffs!!

His list of rewards include restaurant gift cards, tickets to sporting events, even all expense paid vacations (Baron has won 14 of them)

I wonder did he tried to win casino gamble by doing card-memorizing ???

Malaysia Cars (Top Gear Review)

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:28:00 +0000

This is what the Top Gear hosts have to say for our Malaysia Proton Satria Neo and Perodua MyVi.....They critic our Malaysia cars (both) being made from plastic (almost whole car parts except engine)!! They even claim the cheap cars are rubbish!!!

So I guess even our cars being exported to oversea, we're still not compatible?? Being cheap cost cars in the oversea seems like it doesn't boost our reputation, the alternative is to create a better quality cars! Don't you agree???

The Perodua MyVi sold in United Kingdom for 7,600 pounds.
And Proton Satria Neo is sold for 10,000 pounds!

Main Point Video~

For those who dislike their comments, you(probably or not) are very patriotic thus you might be saying that "Support Nation Products" slogan, whereas those who agree with their comments, they might not support the national products (ie. cars)!!

You see, we're not talking about patriotism, because eventhough you are very patriotic but you're supporting the bad things in our country(every country has own bad things even USA) then it creates a bad publicity. Thus I think you are trying to destroy our country instead of helping it to improve....So in the end we're talking about business here and bringing the BRAND into the world!

Well for me, whatever the reasons....Top Gear reserve their rights to do critic upon any car models, people might not agree with their comments but the show sure did go on for many seasons(for some reasons)! So in the end of the day is that, whether their comment is genuine or just for "ear-catching"? It depends on how you all perceive their comments, we can be using their comments to improve our national car or we can just let it be.

As the Malaysia citizen, I think we all should ponder on this matter.

4 Easy Ways to Pick Up Girls

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 03:59:00 +0000

A lot of guys out there are afraid to talk to female strangers. you know you want to but you just didn't do it in the end. But if you don't initiate the conversation, you probably miss the chance of seeing her again....

So what's the solution for this hold back??
I'll show you the 4 easy ways to do it and there are plenty more of course but let's just take a look at it first before you learn the rest, alright?

1.) APPROACH WOMEN FOR THE FUN OF IT

Remember that pretty girl at the mall? You were scared to approach her because you already thought she would reject you.

That negative thought prevents you from talking to her.

Here’s a good strategy to deal with it. Approach women just for the fun of it.

“What if she rejects me?” you cry in panic.

Good question, man. But calm down.

You will not be dragged down to the Sahara desert just because you try to pick up girls and they reject you. You’re still you no matter what. So you should not concern yourself whether she would welcome or reject your gesture.

What is important is you go ahead and approach her. This is your number 1goal. That way, you can sleep well at night with happy thoughts that you successfully approach–and hopefully pick up girls.

2.) COMPLIMENT ON THE THINGS SHE WEARS, NOT HER

Approaching her and blurting out “You’ve got a cute face” immediately spoils your chances.

And that’s a fact.

Do not say anything about her look, her face, her nose, her eyes, or that cute dimple on her cheeks. If you want to pick up girls, avoid complimenting them about their looks.

Instead, compliment them on the bracelets they’re wearing, their shoes, their dangling earrings or on their nice little pink shoulder bags.

3.) APPROACH GIRLS WITH A WARM HAPPY ATTITUDE

Some guys have the notion that to approach and pick up girls is a frightening experience. Now, now, now. Why should that be?

Come to think of it. Approaching pretty girls should be a fun and enjoyable experience. There is really no reason for you to put on that scared look when you approach and pick up girls, is there? It will only make you look scary and literally frighten your prospects. And you don’t want this to happen.

So here’s the deal. Try to look genuinely pleased and happy when approaching girls. Yes, that’s right. Be delighted. And please, don’t forget to smile, ok?

4.) DEVELOP DESIRABLE ATTITUDE

You’ve probably heard of the saying, “Birds of the same feather flock together”, right? Of course, you do. You’ve read it during your elementary days

“What has this saying got to do when I want to pick up girls?” you snap back.

A lot, actually.

Checking in Progress....

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:04:00 +0000

This "Argumentation : Inquiry and Advocacy" book is about debate which is really irrelevant to my business studies in TAR college! After I searched through AMAZON website, I found out the book cost about RM 400 sigh....

So I called the TARC library for more inquiries....I asked them why am I not receiving any penalty letter from them after so many months (eg Jan, February and March 2009?).
"We've issued twice and our system still has the record of the penalty." they replied.
"But i didn't get any of them. If there is then I should have got it right? So why am I not?" I asked.
"If you want, we can check the personnel who distributed the penalty letter." They said.
"Okay please do, thank you...."

After that, I asked them maybe there is a possible mistake occur because I did not lend my id card to someone else to borrow a book irrelevant to my study and I never lost my id card and they can check to verify it.... Thus I ask maybe they can help me check the book shelf for such book being returned to it's own place.... Luckily they agreed to do so. And they will call me on Tuesday regarding the search result.

Seriously if I am a book burglar..... I would have stolen more than that! Then I wouldn't worry about the RM 100 refund~

TARC System Error???

AirAsia Plane Crashed at KL Airport???

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:30:00 +0000

I also did received an email about "AirAsia Plane Crashed at KL Airport". The email claimed that the incident was NOT COVERED by the media, which is so untrue....

Too bad some people did not search properly
or they just did not read newspaper
or the accuser is smart by spreading the news 2 years later....

This incident was happened on Sunday, 07 NOVEMBER 2004! And it was reported in the media, so hope you all don't make anymore defamation otherwise you have to face the music later on....

Here's the evident that I had searched and gathered which I believe it proves a lot than email accusation!! Although the news did not put up more pictures but the point is they DID REPORTED!!

KOTA KINABALU: AirAsia Flight AK106 from Kuala Lumpur skidded off the runway at about 5.10pm during bad weather. Two passengers were injured when the Boeing 737 with about 100 passengers skidded.

A three year-old boy suffered a broken arm while another, who is still unidentified, had minor injuries. The remaining passengers and crew escaped unhurt.

Medical teams at the airport screened them before they were allowed to leave the airport.

One of the passengers, who identified herself as Zilla, said she felt the plane hitting a puddle of water when landing before swerving from the runway to the grass.

She said the aircrew members than advised the 100-odd passengers to exit through the emergency chutes.

"There was panic but no pandemonium," she said when met at the airport.

This is from the star newspaper ~~~

Kota Kinabalu: An AirAsia B737 with 111 passengers and five crew skidded while landing during bad weather at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport, Sunday.
All, except two passengers, escaped unhurt in the 5.50pm incident. Five-year-old Tracy Jessica twisted her arm while another woman in her 20s hurt her nose.

A Malaysian Airport Bhd ambulance sent the two to hospital. Tracy received outpatient treatment while the woman refused treatment, saying she had to catch a flight to Labuan.

The runway was temporary closed and five flights scheduled for take-off were cancelled while five in-coming flights from Kuala Lumpur were diverted to Sandakan airport.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who was on a one-day visit to Sabah, also had his departure delayed until 10.30pm when the runway was reopened to facilitate his return to the Federal capital in his private jet.

According to witnesses at the Third Beach in Tanjung Aru, near the KKIA perimeter fencing, the plane swerved badly and veered to the left onto the grass while landing.

"The nose of the plane dipped and smoke billowed from the belly of the plane. There was no unusual noise," he said.

Some of the Tough Interview Questions!

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:14:00 +0000

Most of us do not know what type of tough interview questions might be until we encountered it! What I'm trying to do now is to compile some of the tough interview questions I have found from the internet and books that can help you get through when you face these kind of questions.

Let's get started, shall we? =)
Read the questions and see the REASONs for such question being asked so you can formulate an original answer!

"Tell me about a time you had a conflict on the job."
The purpose in asking about a past conflict is not to see if you have ever had a conflict (the interviewer assumes you have). The goal is to see how well you resolve difficult situations and, if something did not work out in the past, what you learned from it.

Asking applicants about past experiences is known as behavioral interviewing. Behavioral interviewing involves asking about specific past behaviors in an attempt to determine how you would likely behave if you got the job.

--- BEHAVIORAL QUESTIONS ---
"Describe your most successful project so far. What did you do to make it a success?" or "Describe a project where something went wrong. How did you solve the problem?"

To prepare for behavioral questions, spend time before the interview thinking about your past experiences so you can answer questions by: (1) describing the situation, (2) explaining what you did and what the outcome was, then (3) finishing with the experience you acquired or what you learned if the situation didn't turn out the way you had planned.

"Tell me how your career progressed at your last job?"
You should give an honest answer and try to explain the reason of why you had a fallback in your last career, try tell what skills you needed in order to fill in the last career position as this will tell the interviewer your skills.

When I saw ACCA Result today.....

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:51:00 +0000

Yeah i said about lending people compass when they are lost after reading the ACCA result via email.... After knowing yourself had failed we have to pick up where we had fallen...there's more...read on...

My friend say that this opinion i gave is good so I wanted to share with the rest of you who had failed your ACCA.....

ermm....we first must identify our problems then only know what is the solution (as usual study smart lor) but at least we know what we can do to improve it~

Exam only not "life or death"~ The problem isn't so big!

Exam sometimes also need to depend on ur luck and on-the-spot exam condition etc so dun blame ourself too much lar....move on and dun make the same mistake twice =)

THis is how I see failures and life....nothing is too big that we cannot handle... ACCA is just another part of the road I have to take~

Everytime we get the marks differently and we used a different method to do revision, thus we should be able to know where have we done wrong. Then improve it and try to succeed next attempt!!!!!!!

Resume Writing

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:39:00 +0000

Some words you need to take notice when you are writing your resume. Words can strengthen or weaken your resume. In today's competitive job market, a strong resume content can help differentiate you and the rest!

Words that STRENGTHEN your resume!

'Teamwork'
*The ability to work well with others to accomplish a common goal is vital for a harmonious workplace.

'Flexibility'
*You show that you're flexible by demonstrating a willingness to take on new and varied projects and an ability to handle changing priorities and deadlines.

'Detail-Oriented'
Means being organized and meticulous about your work. It also implies that you can work without constant supervision and act independently.

'Self-Motivated'
Employers value employees who are self-starters. These workers can generate their own ideas and follow them through to fruition.

Words that WEAKEN your resume...
"Synergy" and "liaise" are examples of buzzwords that should not be used in your resume.
*replace with TEAMWORK, I believe will be better.

The phrase "responsible for" can make your resume feel like a laundry list.
*Instead of just listing your responsibilities, try to stress your accomplishments.

Tough Question : Why Should I Hire You?

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:23:00 +0000

Things that you, the job seeker need to know before and during interview! I would say most of the employers will ask you a common classic question during the interview :-

"Why should I hire you?"

Interviewers love to see the candidates try to answer this type of question! Whenever the candidates feel he or she is in ther comfort zone after answering all the questions (and maybe test too), this question will pop up and throw the candidates off the floor~

Joe Turner advice :-
Be careful to avoid clever retorts or comedic one-liners here. Your interview is serious business and a wrong answer will send you packing. Give a wrong answer and the large "Game Over" sign flashes above your head.

-----Use The 'Story' Approach-----

What they really want to know is, "How are you different than all the other candidates who have applied for this position?" which also similar to this question "Will you go the extra mile?"

Interviewers have only five areas of interest on candidates:

* Your skills
* Your knowledge about the company
* Your manageability
* Your affordability
* Whether you can go above and beyond your job description

In this day of "lean and mean" operations philosophy, employers are looking for employees who can think bigger and perform duties above and beyond their jobs.

Lastly practise your "story" approach before the interview. Work your best way of answering this type of question. Set the scene, describe the challenge and describe your role and the successful conclusion. Use this as an example of how you use your particular set of skills in an extraordinary time to "give it your all" and produce a clear benefit to your employer if possible monetize (put a dollar value on) the end result, your story will only be that much more dramatic..... The way of answering this question could determine your chances of getting the job, and would make a good memorable impression!

Politic Foul Play?

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 10:14:00 +0000

When I was reading the Teoh Beng Hock's death in thestar newspaper, I was not surprised as our culture seem to evolve similar to European's culture....

Everything involving big organisation or politic has become AGGRESSIVE...No long settling the matter out of the media, everything will be told to media and broadcast to the nation. This is probably a good sign but it also lead to panic in the citizens' mental...

Well about Teoh Beng Hock's death, Dr Seah Lay Hong, a DNA scientist from the Chemistry Department said there is a possibility that Teoh's death is not accidental!!

Ya I believe there is a circulated video in the internet showing how Teoh was mistreated before his death....

Other countries may perceive our country as settling political matter with violence after watching the video~ but I believe it is no surprise as many of the countries had this kind of matter happening around their own countries already, am I right?? Don't be naive anymore everyone!!

Teoh's inquest has been 3 days now and continuing...

Possible Increment in Electricity Rates

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 06:37:00 +0000

Please take note on this matter because the Cabinet meeting is held today if the proposal is approved, Malaysian will face an increment of electricity rates starting next month!

My goodness at this kind of time the TNB still wishes to increase the rate, we're facing a economic crisis here and the increment will not aid in spending but will reduce!! Well we couldn't complain so much right? Since our country has the lowest electricity rates in the region.

Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Peter Chin Fah Kui said it is not definitely will be approved.

I sure hope they DECLINE the proposal! As far as I can see the prices increase has never decrease!! Probably some sellers will take this opportunity to increase their selling price or reduce the consumable amount! Just like the chicken rice has fewer chicken and SMALLER burgers (smaller than my freaking palm! Dammit!)

Source : There are TWO Datuk Peter Chin's interview videos for you to watch

Update :
There will be no increment of rates currently! The Government considered the economic factor and decided not to allow the raise in rates! The 31.31sen/kWh will be remained as it is until the end of the year~

Updated FACTs to Know!

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:24:00 +0000

These surveys are good to know and I am not sure how many people read newspaper and find out this GREAT highlights....

Hey seriously I didn't know a thing about the Pudu LRT station had a girl trying to suicide at 9.30am, so I guess no one make a fuss about anything serious in Malaysia?? It took 1 hour to solve this incident and the news showed there were a lot of witnesses..... No rumour spread about this until the newspaper and news came out today....Well luckily no interruption for the LRT because my friends needed it to go college!

First Survey ~~~

Unbelievable fact from the survey conducted by a union of South Korean entertainers where the union had sent 2000 forms and only 183 responded. Thus

ONE out of five South Korean actresses were forced to have sex with influential figures, according to a survey in which 183 artistes participated.

Those who slept with the actresses were high-ranking executives of television stations, film directors, script writers, entertainment company owners, politicians and entrepreneurs.

Second Survey ~~~

63.2% of the Malaysians opposed to sex on the first date
73% of Hong Kong and Singapore citizens opposed to sex on first date

I agreed with this survey because nowadays people feel much more insecurity than before as there are a lot of rapists and kidnappers around!! Still the survey did not categories the gender....

Third Survey ~~~

600 Malaysians, Singaporeans and Hong Kongers, aged between 26 and 35.
39% of the Malaysian males could accept an older date
42% of the females would go out with younger men
51% of the men would date a taller woman
11% of the women had no objection to date a man shorter than them.

Although I am not sure about the survey fact because again they did not states whether the 600 participants' gender (eg : how many of them are male?? What about those below age 26??)

See Who View My Facebook?

elitevillain@gmail.com (EliteVillain) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:29:00 +0000

"See Who View My Facebook" application group is a SCAM! DON'T JOIN!

Well Facebook do not provide such application yet, maybe in the future they might consider adding one, though I don't see the reason to add one, do you?

So here are the information I gathered from Facebook Help page to clear everyone's(including my friends) thoughts on the possibility of getting notification on who view my facebook. Seriously it is annoying for me so I like it this way where no notification about who viewed my profile or vice versa......

* Can I see who's viewed my profile? There's a group or application claiming I can find out who has been viewing my profile.

Facebook does not allow users to track profile views or see statistics on how often a particular piece of content has been viewed and by whom without your consent.

If a Group or Application claims to provide this functionality, please report it to us here, as this is a violation of our Terms of Use.

* Can I know who’s viewing my profile or how often it’s being viewed?

Facebook currently does not provide an application that allows users to track profile views or statistics on the views of any specific user content. Third party developers, however, may offer applications that provide some of this functionality. Please keep a few things in mind for these applications:

In order to be tracked by an application, you will need to specifically agree to allow the application to track your actions.

Adding an application that provides this functionality is purely optional. If you do not want to participate, please do not add the application to your account.
