Low Cost Carrier

Adakah anda selalu naik kapal terbang untuk urusan kerja atau bercuti?

(1) Anda spesis manusia yang banyak wang kalau memilih syarikat penerbangan ini. Syarikat ini memastikan tempat duduk anda bernombor dan telah ditentukan. Anda juga akan diberi makanan yang enak semasa dalam penerbangan.

(Malaysia Airlines)



(2) Anda spesis manusia yang suka berjimat kalau memilih syarikat penerbangan ini. Tapi .. untuk masuk ke kapal terbang dan mendapatkan tempat duduk .. anda kena berebut-rebut sama seperti hendak naik bas mini atau van yang dipandu oleh Pendatang Tanpa Izin. Kalau mau makan, anda mesti beli .. sebungkus nasi lemak = lebih kurang RM8.00 bersamaan dengan 16,000 rupiah.

(AirAsia)



Oleh yang demikian ... saya mencadangkan anda gunakan syarikat penerbangan di bawah ... nama syarikat ini Air Mahendran.

Tambangnya sama murah seperti Air Asia ... tapi makanannya amat murah dan cepat disediakan ... anda boleh pilih mau makan roti canai, capati, tosei, mee goreng mamak atau paling cincai pun boleh order maruku! Minuman pun macam-macam ada .. teh tarik Madras, teh halia, teh lengkuas, teh kunyit, teh kayu manis, malah teh minyak kayu putih pun ada!

Nah ... ini dia ....

Selamat terrrbang jugaaa!!

Stock Market Made Simple

Stock Market for Dummies
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for US$10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at US$10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at US$20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.

The offer rate increased to US$25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it. The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at US$50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at US$35 and when the man returns from the city , you can sell it to him for US$50."

The villagers squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!!!!

Naming the Twins

A man was taking his wife, who was pregnant with twins, to the hospital when his car went out of control and crashed.

Regaining consciousness, he saw his brother, a relentless practical joker, sitting at his bedside. He asked his brother how his wife was doing and his brother said, "Don't worry, everybody is fine and you have a son and a daughter. But the hospital was in a real hurry to get the birth certificates filed and since both you and your wife were unconscious, I named them for you."

The husband was thinking to himself, "Oh no, what has he done now?" and asked with some trepidation, "Well, bro, what did you name them?" Whereupon, his brother replied, "I named the little girl Denise." The husband, relieved, said, "That's a lovely name! And what did you come up with for my son?"

"Denephew," his brother replied.

Rocky Hills at the Desert


Here we are at the rocky hills.

Can't imagine how were those rocks arranged. I mean literaly it's too heavy for humans to move those rocks in that order way up there. In order and would not roll away.

Was that piece of rock on top of another piece just like that?

A different hill further down.


Almost all were here. 1 car went off earlier.




Fascinating.

A faraway hill.

Nice trees which likened those in safari parks.

Don't say I didn't warn you. You'll never like me when I'm angry.

What a vast flat land all the way till the end.

Another hill opposite us.

Ok, guys. Off we go, back to our camp.

John Tucker Must Die / Dragon Tiger Gate - movie review

John Tucker Must Die - starring Jesse Metcalfe, Sophia Bush, Brittany Snow, Ashanti & Arielle Kebbel. There is this high school guy who is also the famous captain of the basketball team. Thereby, getting a girlfriend in his case is not a problem at all. Who doesn’t want to be seen with the most famous guy in school. He was smart with his words, able to dupe 3 girls at one go. The 3 girls are from 3 different ethnic groups. As these 3 groups do not speak to each other most of the time, his time with the 3 girls was safe from any gossips.

In came a girl who witnessed a fight among the 3 girlfriends who found out later that the same guy, John Tucker, was dating the 3 girls. The new girl was caught in the fight and all 4 were sent to detention class. During the detention class, the idea of getting even on John was mooted. Hence, a plan was set up to make him feel embarrassed in front of many people. Each time the plan the succeeded but it turned out as a blessing in disguise for him where it got him ever more popular.

Eventually, the 3 girlfriends turned to the new girl, asking her to hook him up and get him to date her. Ideas after ideas were mooted to make John become more interested in the new girl which they did succeed. She couldn’t overcome her own conscience in getting back on John on behalf of the 3 girls and she let it out. Good entertainment, the story line was there and it’s just the normal high school stuff where there are boy-girl relationships.

Dragon Tiger Gate - starring Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue, Dong Jie & Li Xiao-ran. About a clan association (Dragon Tiger Gate) in which martial arts were taught to generate discipline amongst the young kids especially those without proper home care. From a young age, 2 brothers were separated due to parents’ marital problems. While having dinner 1 night at a restaurant, Tiger intervened to help a family who was being bullied by an illegal moneylender (loan shark) who was collecting unpaid loans. From, a fight broke out between Tiger and the illegal moneylender’s big boss (who sent dozens of his followers to fight of course). An emblem was also taken away that was dropped by the big boss.

In the process of getting back the emblem in later days, Tiger found out that a guy by the name Dragon who works for the big boss is his long lost brother as Dragon dropped a half-broken jade which matched Tiger’s other half. When Dragon’s big boss was killed by an internal betrayal, Dragon took revenge but was badly injured. The main leader of the big bosses in Hong Kong ensured that Dragon didn’t die as he wants to kill Dragon with his own hands. He barged into Dragon Tiger Gate and killed the elder of the clan and injured Tiger and another guy badly.

Both were brought to a temple where they were healed and taught new martial art movements that could overcome the devilish bad leader. Dragon meantime recovered too.The martial art flicks in this movie were excellent as Donnie Yen was the Action Director. His kung fu movements could be compared to Jet Li’s standard. All in all, a story about the good that will triumph over the evil. Lots of good skilful fighting scenes throughout the movie. Adapted from one of those Chinese kung fu comic books that are found in Hong Kong or even in Malaysia itself. The music played during fighting scenes did bring the tempo up a lot. The music director has done a tremendous job here. A must see for martial arts fan and even if you are not. It's website link (click name of movie above) was done excellently. Anyway, it's a Cantonese version and I became a translator for my malay colleagues too.
