Parties are always fun and a blast but here in Malaysia, post parties are nothing short of a eye sore! I was at Thailand a few years ago and while my friend and me were watching a parade along the main street in Phuket, we saw something that was new to us. The municipal council was cleaning up right behind the procession to ensure that the infamous tourist destination remained clean.
Now back to home (more…)
On the day that we found about the 1Malaysia F1 team, Renault F1 team have announced that managing director, Flavio Briatore and its executive director of engineering, Pat Symonds, have left the team.This has probably something to do with the below statement?
ING Renault F1 Team will not dispute the recent allegations made by the FIA concerning the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix
We know that there is a new kid on the block that is hiring and the former Renault duo back in the market.. Anything can happen!! 
I read this story about Charmaine who was diagnosed with 4th stage neuroblastoma on 13th February 2009. She is a little girl who is fighting hard to live on and the her hope of treating this cancer comes with a USD$350,000 deposit and god knows how much more after that. Nuffnang in Singapore are in to lend a helping hand and are running a drive to raise as much as they can to help this young girl.
Her chances of survival are just 10-20 percent with local treatement but there is a treatment in the US however, at one specific hospital in New York, that ups her chances to 40-50% which they need badly to have any hope for this child
Its a lot of money for anyone’s standards and i think anyone and everyone who can help, should try to do their part. You can donate via Nuffnang’s fundraising campaign would run for a period of two months from 23rd July to 24th September 2009
You don’t have to be Singaporean to help, anyone who wants too can and we should help this little girl if we can. Hopefully the family gets the support they need for Charmaine to under go her treatement and i wish her well

The iPhone mania hit our country when Maxis introduced the iPhones via their phone deals. I didn’t go for it because i thought it was too expensive and prices had to drop (considering the prices in other countries). Anyway, while we in Malaysia are so proud of this introduction, our brothers and sisters from across the causeway will be getting the iphone 3G S this Friday via SingTel.
How much would it cost? (more…)

The “terorist” that escaped from a high security detention center with a limp in his leg has been caught!! Thirteen months ago, Mas Selamat Kastari managed to escape from Singapore which put the island nation on high alert has been busted at Johor.
It is believed that he was nabbed on the outskirts of Johor Baru and is now being held by the Malaysian authorities for interrogation.
This dude must have some kind of super powers to flee the “high security” detention center at Singapore! I always thought that Singapore would be a few notches up from the countries in this region but he managed to do it never the less. Well my Singaporean brother’s and sister’s don’t worry! We got him for you and you can now chiilllll….

I was at Batu Caves on Thaipusam day to pay homage while watching some kavadi’s. I personally think that Batu Caves has one of the best Thaipusam celebrations so its nice to go there at least once a year. Lucky for me, it was not as crowded as previous years so i could watch the kavadi’s and enjoy the festivities.
On little part that bothered me was the trash! The whole place was a royal mess with trash piling up all over the place .Have a look at this image which is right outside the temple!
With millions coming to Batu Caves one would expect some trash but the amount that i saw was beyond a acceptable level!! But then while walking around i realized something else, THERE WERE NO TRASH CANS! So even if someone wanted to throw their trash, where do they throw it??Before expecting people to throw their trash into a bin, there needs to be a bin in the first place isn’t it?
Then i saw this article today :
From April 1, first-time offenders will pay $300 – or $100 more – for failing to dispose of small items such as cigarette butts, car parking coupon tabs and sweet wrappers in litter bins.
Singapore has the reputation of being a fine city. There is a fine for everything!! Personally i think its a good thing, that’s the only way to stop people from throwing their trash all over the place, dig into their pockets! While we are whining about recycling and how its important, lets get our act together and educate everyone that trash belong to a trash can and if it doesn’t go into a trash can, punish!!
It starts at policy level before anything else if you want real change and i hope that sooner rather than later, there is some sort of enforcement in place to make the place we live in a cleaner place. So what if we are known to be a fine city??
