Going to a friend's condo at Mont Kiara area to have our video shoot for the upcoming Christmas dramas (5 of them in production).
Today's drama's video shoot is for the Lady's Life which depicts this lady having a date with a guy that was introduced by her friend who owns a matchmaking agency. Somehow this guy is not the type of guy you would want to meet. He registered himself with the agency to know ladies and then cheat them by taking naked photos (after spiking the lady's drink)....... now how are we going to video shoot that scene ...... hehehehe
During wild brain storming sessions - this guy (we chose the actual actress' husband to play this role also....hahahaha) was supposed to take out her clothes (without showing her of course) by holding a bra and throwing it away ........... guess that wouldn't pass the censorship board....hehe. Well, that was the wild brainstorming sessions lah.
Going in a short while ....... have to set dining table just outside a japanese restaurant located within the condo compound, as if it was a dinner at an open air japanese restaurant. More pictures later on.

Shenzhen Nail House
The owner of the well publicised Shenzhen Nail House, Cai Zhuxiang, has finally received the payment as requested. A reported amount of between 10 million and 20 million yuan (US$1.3 million to US$2.7 million) has been paid for that piece of land being occupied by Cai's building by Kingkey Group, the developer for that piece of land.
Was it a pure business transaction or ransom against the developer by the land owner? Earlier, lower compensation was rejected and the owner held on to their property while their other neighbours had sold off their interests. Patience pays? Or ransom pays?
Right after the transaction has been publicised, the tax collector from the Luohu district office called up to demand for tax payment for the sum gained. Not only that, extortion phone calls came in asking the owner to withdraw the money from the bank. What a country!

Sudan Has Split
Oh no! Sudan's unity government has split after South Sudanese representatives claimed that a number of deadlines that were supposed to have been accomplished are still outstanding.Due to that, the South Sudanese representatives have walked out of the unity governmnet that was established after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Deal (CPA) signed two years ago between the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and the northern National Congress Party (NCP).
Amongst the deadlines stated in the CPA:-
* boundary demarcations between the north and south;
* the redeployment of northern troops from the south to be implemented; and
* chance to reshuffle its minister in the unity administration.
Must show my boss this situation. Definitely I'm not going back there with this latest outcome. I have already been through the tension once during the first 2 weeks of Aug 2005 and I don't need another to refresh my memory. It really did shake me. Lots of us were really affected then in terms of emotion / psychologically.
The government has stated that SPLM's pull out was only a tactical ploy to get the government to the discussion table.

Scam Emails
I wonder how often do you receive emails where the sender told you that after scanning through a number of names or info they have gotten (however little), they have chosen to deal with you on a financial transaction.
I do receive at least 5 each week in my yahoo email account. I would say that a majority or 99% of such emails are mentioned to have come from the Africa continent.
I'm talking about millions of US Dollars that are involved here. These people would, on the account of tiny weeny bit of my info, were so willing to trust me. All these emails would state that they would transfer all the money held up by their local banks or central banks or local governments and would like you to represent them as a foreign partner/next of kin to claim that amount.
Of course, just before they agreed to transfer that authority or money to you, they need some advance money from you as ALL their funds were held up and running short of it or the advance money from you would be used to pay off those officials involved.
The best of all - there would be some naive fellas out there in this world who would be so obedient in parting with their money. What do you call this? Naivety? Careless? Greedy? Stupid?
In USA, the average amount lost to such scams came up to US$3,000 per person conned. A monthly average of 800 people would fall for it. US Postal Inspection Service, through intelligence, has rounded up at least 77 scammers with the help of other countries' enforcement units. Scammers were arrested in Netherlands (60), Nigeria (16), Canada (1). More are being monitored. The US government has produced a website to counter such scams - FakeChecks (really like the website design, interesting way of telling people). FakeChecks has a Fraud Test section where it would help you to determine how authenticate was that email you have received.
In Malaysia, it's happening everyday and could even con/cheat a greedy Malaysian fella just via a SMS message. Malaysia Boleh indeed.
I have in my yahoo email this 2 scam emails:-
1) From: Franka Egondu (ffeegdunkaiiii@hotmail.fr)
He has US$6,300,000 for me (of course I get a percentage of it if I help). An Ivory Coast citizen of 22 yrs old and the bank won't release to him this amount because he's too young and won't be able to handle it.
2) From: Ahman Joseph (ahman.joseph1@yahoo.co.uk)
He has US$3,500,000 (70% for me as commission). Marketing Manager of the Westminister Horseracing Club London. From his business research, he could get his supplier to supply to me in Malaysia and would get his company to deal with me. Apparently, company suspected hanky panky and didn't want him to deal with his supplier directly. Since he didn't want his company to find out actual price, he's getting me to act as another supplier in Malaysia and charge his company at a higher price.
With the above 2 transactions done, I would be filthy rich for sure. Can quit my current job too. You game for it? Don't laugh ok? There are people who have fell for it.

Getting to Know the Blog Readers
I don't mind getting to know my blog readers. Met a group of them recently (them as a group and me alone). From the Site Meter, I can see that many readers from overseas countries, it'll be nice to know you as well.
I knew some came from my church or office and the rest are unknown to me except for those listed in my blogroll. Sometimes during those free time at home, I'll just run through who else will frequent my blog at my blog tracker. Yikessssssss!!! Who's that at number 474 at the picture below?
The Royal Malaysia Police paid a visit during one of those days.......hehehe
For that matter, I'm trying to get a group of bloggers to come along to blog about an upcoming Songwriting Competition. The producer wanted the bloggers to promote their event. We don't have to be musically inclined just as long as you can blog with the pictures that you'll be snapping away. This coming 27 Oct is a photo session/boot camp for those artiste/bands where they'll receive consultation on various issues to ensure stage performance is good.
Of course we won't be seeing songwriters sitting at a desk writing their music piece/score page by page lah. We would be seeing the final piece already.
At this event, we can meet one another apart from being able to mix around with potential famous songwriters or artiste/bands. If interested or wanted to find out more, please email me at jonash1@yahoo.com (entitle the email as "Star Maker").
And if you have a skype, yahoo messenger or msn messenger, we can chat as well.
