Nail House

Another case of 'Nail House' as they call it in China. It's just like a nail that was nailed hard into a big piece of wood, noticeable and stands out. Did post about other nail houses in other parts of China too.

This 6-storey villa located in Shenzhen, is in middle of a construction site and the owner is from Hong Kong who is waiting for more compensation before moving out even though had been ordered to move. Initial compensation is 5.06 million yuan and they were demanding for 14 million yuan now. The owner said that the new value reflected the current market value. On the other hand, the land actually belonged to the owner but in 1992, new laws being implemented changed the land's status to state-owned. (source: Simon World)

PFA Team of the Year

Unbelievable strength/character that Manchester United has shown lately in the English Premier League build up towards the end of the season. Below is the Professional Footballers' Award (PFA) Team of the Year 2006/2007 that saw the whole defence taken by Man Utd's 5 players with 3 midfielders occupying the midfield slots as well.

Bible Book - An Assault Item?

A prison guard has been suspended from work pending further investigation and shall appear in court on 26 April to answer a charge under the criminal law. His charge - using a Bible to assault a prisoner in the Blue Earth County Jail located in Mankato of Minnesota, USA.

In a humourous saying, the guard was trying to drive the Bible's teaching through the prisoner's head ...... hehehe

Police Technology

In China, police has adopted a small video camera attached to their hat which will capture your wrongdoings and will be used to settle any disputes between you and the police. Easily caught red-handed.

Smart usage of technology. Another way to overcome bribery provided what was recorded was relayed back to the police HQ and couldn't be deleted. (source: 6park.com)

Nasi Kandar

Below is a list that showed the price increase for food & beverage served at Restoran Nasi Kandar Di Kayu. Unbelievable and ridiculous prices!!!!! You can't protest with placards or shout at the top of your voice at the restaurant's doorstep (as this will attract the police) BUT you and your friends can boycott such restaurant.

I went to this restaurant before just because a friend told me to try their food and it was some time back during the old prices. Can't remember the exact address but it's somewhere near Sea Park area in Petaling Jaya. They have another restaurant in Penang too.
