Why Need A Truck?

Vietnam really has its uniqueness. This guy must have gotten news on a cheap sale somewhere in town and managed to grab as many as he can.
Local authority confiscating illegal fencing.
One kind of a rear mirror for a motorcycle.
I have seen the maximum of 4 persons at the rural village in Malaysia but that too 2 adults and 2 young kids. This is superb.

That's how fast bird flu will spread. The flu would have flew all over the town.
One hoola-hoop was not enough to keep him fit.
A tip for truck manufacturers, don't waste your time in Vietnam.

Easter Drama

Me and 4 other guys put up a short skit during our church's Easter Dinner celebration that was held at Bukit Jalil Golf & Country Club. It was entitled "Two Brothers". Obviously, I'm one of the 2 and a good elder brother too. Came out from the rural village in search for better life and love, both of us ventured out to the metropolitan city.

Upon arriving at the city, both brothers were totally in awe of the high and lows. Mini-skirts that were high up; Blouses with low cuttings. And also high .......... heels this time.
Unsatisfied with the slow progress of life, Ah Loong, the younger brother (in red) took his chances with gambling. Got to know a bookie (in blue) who has every kind of gambling ideas. And a guaranteed SURE WIN!

Even the F1 was fixed by his higher ranked bookies.
Ah Loong had gotten a credit earlier from the bookie and placed a heavy bet. Unfortunately, the bet on Kimi Raikkonen to win was dashed as he crashed (just before the line). In the process of getting the money back, the bookie got into a fight with Ah Loong. With all the kung fu and boxing styles displayed, he was stabbed by Ah Loong without even lifting a finger.

Ah Seng, the elder brother, (that's me) so happened passed by the area and saw the incident.

As both were very lost, Ah Seng demanded the brother to exchange the shirt they were wearing.
He was shirtless.....hehehehehehee and to the bewilderment of the crowd ....hahahaha. Was wondering any ladies fainted during this point of time.
As blood was found on Ah Seng's body, the police arrested the elder brother and brought him to court where he was sentenced to death "Gantung Sampai Mati".
Next scene, Ah Seng appeared hanging, swaying a bit here and there (notice that I was on my toes to have that swaying effect).
Ah Loong found out that Ah Seng was hanged due to him and pleaded to the judge to have him arrested. The judge said that his place has been taken over by the elder brother and Ah Loong was free to go.

Moral of the story: Jesus Christ has died on the cross and the blood that flowed out signified that it has washed away our sins. Jesus Christ died to fulfil the God's plan so that all who believes in Him shall not perish but shall have eternal life (John 3:16).

Beard Papa

Was at Mid Valley Megamall and saw this new fast food chain called Beard Papa. Their cream puff looked real nice and we saw the counter guy pumping the cream into the cream puff.
Bought 5 pieces and got 1 free. Not cheap at all at RM16.50 (RM3.46 = US$1.00). Like to eat and might as well try it out. The cream puff was soft enough and the cream in it was quite tasty. To some people it may be too fattening. To me, EAT FIRST!
Beard Papa is a franchise business that comes from USA. Click here for more franchise information.

Facts About Formula 1 Car

Formula One or F1 car is made up of 80,000 components, if it were assembled 99.9% correctly; it would still start the race with 80 things wrong! When an F1 driver hits the brakes on his car he experiences retardation or deceleration comparable to a regular car driving through a BRICK wall at 300 kph!!!
F1 car can go from 0 to 160 kph AND back to 0 in FOUR seconds!!!!!!! F1 car engines last only for about 2 hours of racing mostly before blowing up on the other hand we expect our engines to last us for a decent 20 years on an average and they quite faithfully DO....that's the extent to which the engines r pushed to perform...
An average F1 driver looses about 4kgs of weight after just one race due to the prolonged exposure to high G forces and temperatures for little over an hour (yeah that's right!!!). At 550kg a F1 car is less than half the weight of a Mini.
To give you an idea of just how important aerodynamic design and added down force can be, small planes can take off at slower speeds than F1 cars travel on the track. Without aerodynamic down force, high-performance racing cars have sufficient power to produce wheel spin and loss of control at 160 kph. They usually race at over 300 kph.
In a street course race like the Monaco grand prix, the down force provides enough suction to lift manhole covers. Before the race all of the manhole covers on the streets have to be welded down to prevent this from happening!
The refuelers used in F1 can supply 12 liters of fuel per second. This means it would take just 4 seconds to fill the tank of an average 50 liter family car. They use the same refueling rigs used on US military helicopters today.
Top F1 pit crews can refuel and change tyres in around 3 seconds. It took me 8 sec to read above point During the race the tyres lose weight! Each tyre loses about 0.5 kg in weight due to wear.

Normal tyres last 60 000 - 100 000 km. Racing tyres are designed to last 90 - 120 km. A dry-weather F1 tyre reaches peak operating performance (best grip) when tread temperature is between 900C and 1200C (water boils boils at 100C remember). At top speed, F1 tyres rotate 50 times a second.

Key Tracker

Received this article via an email:-

A new device has been introduced to the marketplace that is a huge danger to anyone who uses a PC that is not theirs. It is known as a key tracker and it sits between the keyboard and the PC. As can be seen in the pictures it is very discreet but is probably one of the most dangerous items of equipment to personal information that is readily available. These devices record every key that is pressed on the keyboard. Due to it’s position (it sits between the keyboard and the PC) the information is logged by the tracker before the PC knows about it and as such is very difficult for the PC to detect. They are available in both USB and PS2 formats so pretty much any PC can be logged. The user puts the tracker in line, leaves it there for a set amount of time and then retrieves it. They can then download the data onto their own PC.

If you intend to use a PC that is not yours (ie hotel business centre, internet cafĂ©, airport etc) I would advise looking at the back of the PC to see if one of these trackers has been placed in line (scrambling under a desk is the better alternative to losing your email details). If you cannot get to see the back of the PC, I would suggest you don’t use it for anything personal. If a tracker is there and you do not notice it, whoever placed it there (could be any user of that PC before you) will be able to recall all of your keystrokes – logins, passwords etc.

These trackers cost less than £30 and they are definitely out there already.
