I'm sure you have heard of the Bible's Ten Commandments that were given by God to Moses.
The Ten Commandments are as follows:-
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
NOW, after getting used to and have memorised by hard on the above Ten Commandments, the Vatican Holy See came out with another Ten Commandments. Nothing religious but a very practical commandments for all citizens irrespective of your religion.
Out came the "Drivers' Ten Commandments" as listed below:-
1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.
Besides your respective country's road transport laws, you have 10 more to abide now.

Pink Airline?
A new airline by the name of Fly Pink will be launched in July 2007 to cater for females only. Wow!! Is there a market for it?
It's initial flight will be between Liverpool in England to Paris of France. It's catered for women who wants to go for a shopping break in Paris. In the aircraft, everything will be in pink. Just imagine having pink champagne and complementary manicures before take-off (many women would love this treatment).
Why pink? Imagine a pink aeroplane!! Your flight attendants dressed in pink as well. Seat covers are in pink, carpet flooring in the plane is also in pink......and when you flush the WC, pink water will appear???? Served with food on pink tray and pink cups. Your flight captain dressed in pink too?
A blog by the name of Mind The Gap by a group of feminist blogged about this flight too. They have no doubt that there will be women who would just fly over to Paris to buy a Euro2,000 dress.

Two Blond Cowpokes
Back in the old Wild West, there were two blonde cowpokes, Jeff and Dave. One day, the two were enjoying a strong sarsaparilla in the local saloon, when a man walked into the bar with an Indian’s head under his arm.
The barman shakes his hand and says, “I hate Indians; last week the bastards burnt my barn to the ground, assaulted my wife and killed my children.” He then says, “If any man brings me the head of an Indian, I’ll give him one thousand dollars.”
The two blondes looked at each other and walked out of the bar to go hunting for an Indian. They were walking around for a while when suddenly they saw one; Jeff threw a rock which hit the Indian right on the head. The Indian fell off his horse, but landed seventy feet down a ravine. The two nuts made their way down the ravine where Dave pulled out a knife to claim their trophy.
Suddenly, Jeff said, “Dave, take a look at this.” Dave replied, “Not now, I’m busy.”
Jeff tugged him on the shoulder and says, “I really think you should look at this.”
Dave said, “Look, you can see I’m busy. There’s a thousand dollars in my hand.”
But Jeff was adamant. “Please, Dave, take a look at this.”
So Dave looked up and saw that standing at the top of the ravine were five thousand red Indians. Dave just shook his head and said, “Oh . . . my . . . God . . .. we’re going to be millionaires!”

China & Hong Kong Bloggers
Few of the China/Hong Kong bloggers that are quite famous in the blogosphere and also amongst non-bloggers looking for interesting news to read:-
EastSouthWestNorth's Roland Soong reads an astonishing number of newspaper article each day. He selects those that have news value and translates them into English on his blog so that the English-language reader can read about what is happening in Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan. EastSouthWestNorth has a certain influence among foreign media. The foreign newspapers reported on "Bus Uncle" through the translation on EastSouthWestNorth.
Hong Kong Media Buster has a stated goal of criticizing Hong Kong media. In order to make powerful criticisms and reflections, the basic requirement is knowledge and information. The two-man team at Hong Kong Media Busters cites information from foreign media and United Nations official sources.
Diuman Park is also run by two persons. They are critical but also informative. Their sarcastic tone offers a different kind of attraction. They do draw around 1,000 readers per day.
Isaac Mao shared his views about blogger culture with us and showed that mainland netizens are using blogs to communicate and receive information that the traditional media would not provide. As one of the earliest bloggers in the Chinese community, Isaac is not only co-founder of CNBlog.org which is the earliest evangelizing site in China on grassroots publishing, but also the co-organizer of Chinese Blogger Conference (2005 in Shanghai, 2006 in Hangzhou).
Another classical example of blogger culture is the One More Kilogram project. 1kg More (short for “1 kilogram more in your travel pack”) is a non-official cause of charity crossing over travel.
It runs behind the idea of travelers bringing 1kg of inexpensive educational materials in addition to their package to give away to some one that needs it along their journey, e.g. kids that cannot even afford a pencil rubber.

Malaysia's SMART Tunnel
With all the recent bad construction cases in Malaysia's goverment offices (where pipes burst, sewage system got stucked, roof came crashing down), we thought it was over.
So, smart thinkings must come up to overcome it. Came the SMART Tunnel project (short for Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel). Malaysia has built one of the smartest tunnel in linking two areas with heavy traffic, a way to cut down congestion. Regarded as the only such tunnel in the world.
Sadly, after the soft opening on 14 May 2007, it has shown its true colours. Cracks could be seen on the ceiling, side walls and the road itself. At the side, water could be seen dripping into the tunnel. Hello, I thought the water compartment at the third level has not started operations yet but water has already seeped in???? From where? You can see it for yourself in this youtube video link.
How does the tunnel works?.jpg)
This part of the tunnel comprises of three compartment. The top two are for traffic whilst the lowest is used solely for drainage. During conditions of certain storms, both the lower and the traffic compartments would be required for water passage. At these times, the tunnel would be sealed from traffic before it is flooded.
Toll operations has started since 15 May 2007, RM2.00 one way for a 4km road trail. I'm using it ....hehehe but am I paying for something which didn't come properly built? Breach of contract by the construction companies that built this?
What if they open the lower level to storm water and it burst its compartment and flood the 2nd level? Though the SMART Tunnel could clear the tunnel in a few minutes if it intends to flood the 2nd level, is it ready for any water that could breach in from the 3rd level? So, I'm supposed to leave my car and run up the emergency staircase? Of course I'll do it if it really happens. People could say "Why am I questioning it now since I'm using it.....". I'm questioning it because I paid for the service it provided - consumers' rights!!
Was there a design flaw? The detailed engineering design was done by Matt MacDonald, a tunnel expertise in their field.

Unfortunate Event
Was trying to log in on Friday night (at home) and the laptop suddenly went blank. Unable to get it switched on again.
On Saturday morning, called the office's IT Manager and was hoping there was something up his sleeve but the laptop was not co-operative enough. Sadly, no updates in my blog since Friday night.
Today, when I brought it to the IT Manager, the laptop was ............. IN A NORMAL CONDITION. So, nobody could check what went wrong....... and the joke was on me as the IT Dept guys said that I could have dabbled with the internal system or I downloaded something which I was not supposed to....... hehehehehe (the effect of Wahaha)

Wahaha ...... hahahahaha
Came across this company's products by the name of Wahaha located in Hangzhou, China ..........hahahahaI would say that the owner, Zong Qinghou, and his wife (former teachers) are laughing all the way to the bank...hahahahaha. From a minnow company selling beverages and ice-creams, they have diversified to many other types of beverages and one of which is Wahaha's Future Coke.
Future Coke, a similar carbonated drink to Coca-Cola, was launched in 1998 and today, it's giving sleepless nights to Coca-Cola and Pepsi in rural China areas. Now, you have to know that the rural areas are definitely much larger than the urban/established areas.Their business could generate an annual revenue of US$1.37 billion (11.4 billion yuan) and profits of US$162.7 million (1.34 billion yuan) per year.
Seeing this potential, it has prompted Group Danone SA to increase their investment in Wahaha......hahahahahahhaha. Somehow, the investment didn't go as planned and has generated wide protests from the Wahaha local workers.......for once Wahaha staff are not laughing. Their founder, Zong Qinghou, has resigned amidst the takeover by Group Danone SA.
Wahaha is famous enough to attract Wang Lee Hom to become their products' ambassador. So, Lee Hom is also hahahhahahahah all the way to the bank as well.Guess who's laughing lately ...hahahaha
