Coca-Cola Where Will Happiness Strike Next

This is one fantastic video! Coca Cola brought back Philippino’s back from countries where they have gone to make a living and have not seen their families in ages. What a feeling! Nothing like being close to the ones you love ha!

Moneyball

One that im looking forward too : The story of Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane’s successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players.

I am looking forward to this one, its based on the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game ;

What is it about?

Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball. Following the low-budget Oakland Athletics, their larger-than-life general manger, Billy Beane, and the strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts, Michael Lewis has written not only “the single most influential baseball book ever” (Rob Neyer, Slate) but also what “may be the best book ever written on business” (Weekly Standard).

I wrote this book because I fell in love with a story. The story concerned a small group of undervalued professional baseball players and executives, many of whom had been rejected as unfit for the big leagues, who had turned themselves into one of the most successful franchises in Major League Baseball. But the idea for the book came well before I had good reason to write it—before I had a story to fall in love with. It began, really, with an innocent question: how did one of the poorest teams in baseball, the Oakland Athletics, win so many games?

Go Back To Where You Came From

Immigrants , assuylum seekers. We come across them all the time. We often finding our selves giving them hard time with accusations that they are here to take our jobs and messing up opportunities for us. The reality or the predicament for them is beyond our imagination if you are from a comfortable economy and not experience hardship the way they have.

In Australia SBS created a show :

Six ordinary Australians agree to challenge their preconceived notions about refugees and asylum seekers by embarking on a confronting 25-day journey. Tracing in reverse the journeys that refugees have taken to reach Australia, they travel to some of the most dangerous and desperate corners of the world, with no idea what is in store for them along the way.

Deprived of their wallets, phones and passports, they board a leaky refugee boat, are rescued mid-ocean, experience immigration raids in Malaysia, live in a Kenyan refugee camp and visit slums in Jordan before ultimately making it to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Iraq, protected by UN Peacekeepers and the US military. For some of them it’s their first time abroad. For all of them, it’s an epic journey and the most challenging experience of their lives

Its a eye opener, i managed to watch 1 episode and i will be watching the rest very soon. Its education, you need to see what a assuylum seeker goes through. Just when you think you have the biggest problems mankind has ever had, this gives your prespective.

A Must Watch!

Economic Transformation Programme

So we hear so much about the Economic Transformation Programme , the Malaysian government’s grand plan in transforming Malaysia into a high income economy by 2020. Based on the little i know, this is the plan on steroids to excellarate the growth since we have wasted many years since the Vission 2020 was announced many many years ago by former PM Tun Mahathir.

Watch the video below which is pretty much a simplified version or rather the lay man’s version to the idea or plan. I know that there is lot planed, a lot to be spent and a lot to be desired off this grand idea but i sure hope that while there is lots of money that is going to be thrown into this, it has genuine people’s interest and the jobs are awarded to the best there is to undertake.
