Bags for the non-plastic bag state, Penang

Nowadays, life have change when we go for shopping, there is no more plastic bags being distributed due to environmental issue that we are facing. So I guess we all need to have a bag when we go out to shop. This is what I get for myself, it is on sale, so quickly, I grab it. Never the less, it is very useful. I think everyone should have some bags when shopping in Penang. Albeit, some branded shop will give out paper bags as advertisement for their brand. :) Here is the picture of the bag that I have.

2011 Lim Chong Eu expressway widening project - questionable

By looking at the plan that they publish out in the newspaper star 20 Aug 2011, it is really a poor design that will not solved anything efficiently, let talk about the pros and cons.

Pros:
1. we have one more lane to use.

Cons:
1. RM2 million spend
2. drivers cannot see the clear road view after the bridge, thus traffic will be slow.
3. drivers might knock down the bridge, this poses danger to other road user.
4. Heavy container trailers will knock down the bridge, who know how big those trailers one day might be?
5. prone to accidents at that location.
6. Lame engineering, is this the best our engineers can do?
7. future expansion will even cost more, adding inflation from today 2011.


I would advise CM to remove the bridge entirely, since the usage there is very low and I do not see why the people want to cross that bridge.

With the RM2 mil spend, better to do it right from the start.

2011 air cond at 24 deg C ??

Today the government just announce that all government agencies, except hospital will have to turn all the air conditioned unit not more then 24 deg C. and will extend to private sector by 2013 and i believe to every individual soon. This is how a good government works? This is merely a lazy fact to put all the blame on the people again. This is the path where we are moving backward to leaving in jungle where there is a lot of trees to provide you with free air conditioning.


I agree with the good intention but I do not agree to this method. Some question, is the government running out of money to maintain the country? It seems that the country is heading for bankruptcy is starting to appear.

What a statement, as all know that temperature is different at different location and the quality of the air cond unit also contribute to the difference in temperature. So how will the government standardized this? another money spending project on the way?

to achieve the said 24 deg C consistently the air cond unit will have to be maintained every month or 2. means that the service per unit cost about RM150.00 per unit and if there is 100 unit in say a university? 100 x RM150=RM15,000 per month and RM180,000 annually per university, how many university in Malaysia? That is just for air cond service. I guess I better start up a air cond company soon. :)

Instead the government should look at the problem at ground level, such as using better technology, such as solar, and air cond unit with inverter if it is on for more that 4 hours in a day or try to build a green building where more light can enter and wind circulation can be achieve in the interior.

So, well have to wait and see if there is another money spending project kick off soon.

BlackBerry maker to cut 2,000 jobs

According to the report it is only 10% of what? last month Nokia cuts 8000 jobs as well, so who is next.

To what I can see recently is the announcement of moving some jobs to Flextronics here in Penang, Malaysia was also part of the reason of the job cut. Basically from one pocket to another with a lower cost for RIM, but not sure if the quality is impacted, so good luck for those out there who is using or aiming to buy RIM tablets. For sure the next release of the RIM tablets named "Playbook" sounds corny ain't it?

RIM have started off at the wrong foot, there focus on business users and those business users, so therefore the users mindset if of course business when you talk about "blackberry". Now only they try to change the image of the company using the word "Play", sorry too late buddy.

With now so many major players here, especially maker from China/Taiwan, HTC, Asus,Huawei will split the market share furthermore.

Impressively, Ipad is still the major tablets that people sort, as always be with APPLE products, cos they build with style and user friendly in mind

Wow, so simply put it this way, with all those brands out there, i have a gut feeling that only 2 company will survive the onslaught , they are Samsung and Apple in the Tablet Arena for others it will be a price war.

Fraud Call to fish information

To all readers out there, I just received this calls from this number +395220894 which is a voice recorded message that says you have a balance payment of Rm6000 in Ambank and please kindly revert this payment, then press 0 to speak to the agent. But I actually did not do anything and just close the phone. Next I called Ambank which I do not have any account there, just to check, this nice lady "Amy" told me there is a fraud call going around and investigation is on going. So guys please be careful and do not entertained these calls.

Apple Iphone

There is mix review that there is a lot of hype about the release of iphone 5 this coming September 2011, and i also have heard that it is not entirely new model in design, it will look similar to the iphone4 with enhanced specification, notably the "dua-core" that people are looking for and the release of OS5, wish for wish, we hope that Apple Inc. can fix the problem like the camera flash leak, the signal kaput and hopefully that GPS can function properly.

Now it is the glamorous Samsung Galaxy S II that is making all the headlines and giving options to customer to switch since the new iphone arrive later in this heated smartphone arena. I have seen the SG2, look and feel pretty impressive, weighs very light and slim, good job samsung, but still the drawback with the GPS. Most users who wants to buy SG2 can wait for iphone to come and the price will drop tremendously, well that is the game. We just hope the Apple will not come the the price war as mention in en-gadgets magazines. then it will be doom for all smartphone makers.
