Watch this cute video with lots of simple messages on how we can save our Planet Earth. That should remind us that we are sharing this planet with the animals and plants as well and therefore, we should be more considerate with the things that we do in our life. Save the Planet!!!

No-confidence Motion Rejected

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:49:00 +0000

And the opposition MPs walked out of the Parliament... The motion was rejected by the Speaker due to the "wrong choice of words."Sounds like what I used to do during my college time. If I did not like something, just walked away... Read the news here! Will they be going in again? Cheese cake will definitely work for me...

Money from MyLot

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 03:54:00 +0000

I have received my June 2008 payment in the amount of $11.68 (approximately RM 38.00) in my PayPal. In June, there were some activities from my referrals in early and mid month but them they lost steams towards the end of the month. Anyway, just like the months before this, I was never really depending on my referrals to achieve my payout since I comfortably do it on my own. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have active referrals so that the earning would be more. I am sure that the person who...

Who Will Benefit?

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 06:40:00 +0000

There has been no new post for a few days here as I was busy attending training so that I can learn some new stuffs and right after that I had to conduct training for my clients but not on the stuffs that I just learned. Anyway, this entry is not going to be about what I learned and what I taught but this is just some interesting observations that I came across when I trained employees of different organizations. There is one interesting observation that I have made after conducting training...

Got My Rebate

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 06:56:00 +0000

Yesterday I went to the Main Post Office in Shah Alam to renew my road tax and to my surprise they asked me to collect the RM 625.00 petrol rebate at the same time. I was surprised because due to lack of clear information, I was under the impression, based on what some people told me, that the rebate for renewal in July 2008 would only be paid in August 2008... Typical Malaysians. Always pretend that they know everything and then go and tell others about their ajaran sesat... Anyway, the...

Again? Really?

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:45:00 +0000

This is what most Malaysians have been talking about these few days! Anwar Ibrahim, the former deputy Prime Minister has been accused of sexual assaulting a 23-year-old male aide who volunteered in his office. Most people that I talked to said, "Again?" and "Really arr...?" There are lots of coverage on the mainstream medias as well as in the blogsphere on this. Here are some of the related articles that I read (in no particular order): Malaysia's Anwar tells huge rally he will seize powerThe...

Time to Change

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 03:10:00 +0000

I stumbled upon an interesting article, It Takes Two Hands To Clap by Raja Petra Kamarudin at Malaysia Today this morning. It is an article that all Malaysian should read and try to understand the message that the writer was trying to send to all of us. It talks about racial unity, religious tolerance and working towards changing Malaysia from a country that is divided by race and religion into a country that is truly multi-racial. Then we talk about wanting a new opposition coalition called...

Is This The Future?

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 09:17:00 +0000

In 1981, there was a movie called Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Some of you might have watched that especially if you grew up during the 80's. The story was about our world in the near future where human civilizations have been destroyed by nuclear war. The oil-based economy has collapsed and petrol has become the most precious commodity on earth. ...the world has "crumbled and...the cities have exploded"; life has become a "whirlwind of looting and a firestorm of fear, in which 'men began to...

Entrecard Credits Sold on eBay

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 02:44:00 +0000

I have been reading about how some people sold their Entrecard credits on eBay. At first I wondered whether there are people who would actually buy that but then as many of us know, we can sell almost anything on eBay. Curious about it, last week, I registered at eBay and put up 4000 Entrecard credits for sale with a starting price of $7.20 ($1.80 per 1000 credits). To my surprise, I managed to sell that for $8.80! Here are the details: 4000 Entrecard Credits sold: $8.80Insertion Fee by eBay:...

Making Money From This Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 02:40:00 +0000

A few online friends have asked me about how much money this blog is making. The answer to that is not much... May be I should say not much yet. How much is not much? On average, it is less than $10 (RM35) a month for now and that mostly come from advertising space. That is not such a big amount but considering the amount of effort used, I really have no complain. Furthermore, this blog is hosted free and I do not really have to pay for anything except for my connection to the...

Increase Gasoline Price, Increase Crime

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:02:00 +0000

There is shocking and sad news, Beaten while looking for help, today. It is about a man trying to help his dying mother by flagging down passing vehicles for help. He ran to stop a taxi about 100 meter away from his home but the taxi, like most taxis in Malaysia, refused to stop. Desperate to get his mother to the hospital, he flagged down a dark-colored car with four men inside. Instead of helping him and his mother, they beat him, took his handphone and around RM500 cash... Then the monsters...

Another myLot Payment

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 06:16:00 +0000

Yesterday I received myLot payment in PayPal for my activities in May 2008 in the amount of $11.06 (approximately RM36.16). I could have made more than that but I was away enjoying my short vacation to Indonesia with my family. So how much gasoline can I buy for my car with that money at the recently increased price of RM2.70? Not that much, I could only get about 13 liters compared to almost 19 liters based on the old price. Looks like I am still talking about the fuel price eh... Anyway, if...

Found this picture of Shahrir at the ERL station a news at The Star Online today.

Gasoline - Let's Take a Break

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 08:03:00 +0000

Let's take a break from all the seriousness around the gasoline price increase and have a bit of smile by looking at these cartoons that I found on the internet (click to enlarge)... "I was watching that movie Mad Max, you know that movie where gas is so precious that people are killing each other for a few gallons. It was set in the future -- I believe it was August." --Jay Leno Worrying too much about the fuel price will not bring it down so, just take it easy and see what we can do to...

Fuel Price & By-Election

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 03:53:00 +0000

I read an interesting news titled, Anwar to contest in by-election soon and part of the news was related to the recent "ridiculous" fuel price increase by the government. Talking about the fuel price, Do you know that Malaysia has achieved another world record? “The highest single increase in the world”. Something that the current government should be proud of ya! Anyway, this fuel price issue has presented another great opportunity to Anwar to proceed with his plan to take over the...

Hancock - A One of a Kind Superhero

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:10:00 +0000

With a tag line that goes: "There are heroes... There are superheroes... And then there's Hancock.", you could not expect this to be an ordinary superhero movie. With Will Smith as Hancock, this is definitely not going to be one of those superhero movies! What can you expect to get from Hancock then? Just like any other superheroes, he gets the job done. The kind of jobs that superheroes do, such as saving countless lives. The only problem is that he seems to leave damages in their wake. Not...

I was waiting for my taxi to take me to Soekarno Hatta airport, Jakarta for our early mornig flight to Pekan Baru and had no intention of blogging since officially, I am still on my holidays with my family. I was just reading some latest news and was shocked to discover the news about Malaysia will remove price controls on gasoline and diesel. Do you know what that means? That would simply mean that the price might even go up more than double from what it is now! This was announced by the...

Jakarta Holidays

noreply@blogger.com (Shaxx) — Mon, 26 May 2008 16:01:00 +0000

Hello everyone! I am on my way to Jakarta, Indonesia for a short vacation with my family. See you next week! I am taking this opportunity to test the new scheduled post feature in Blogger and if you can read this, that means it's a success!
