New 11000 millionaires emerged in Australia (2007)
Erm…I’m no millionaire, but am trying to be one. Try? Means trying to earn more. Of course legally. Hehe…
I was reading news today, just browsing around news presses to get updates on fuel prices, and came across this news in The News Straits Times (Malaysia), titled: “Australia now has 172,000 millionaires”.
Wow…that’s huge figure for me.
The initial sentence of the news even shocked me more. It said: “Another 11,000 Australians became millionaires in 2007 in US dollar terms”.
Oh my god…!!! 11000 new millionaires emerged in a year?!!!
Ok…now, it makes me think that I might have to migrate to Australia to be one. Haha…!!!
So, which country has the most number of millionaires?
It’s United States with 3.03 million millionaires in 2007.
Notice the word “million” being printed twice. Million of Millionaires.
Ok…it sounds like I’m so amazed with this. Why not? I’m not a millionaire yet, and I want to be.
After United States, it follows by #2-Japan, #3-Germany, #4-United Kingdom, #5-China, #6-France, #7-Canada, #8-Italy, and #9-Switzerland. Australia being #10.
The end.
I need a break. Need to plan hard on how to catch up with them. :p
Or shall I just forget it?

Malaysia petrol price at RM2.70 per litre
Ladies and gentlemen, all Malaysian settlers, it’s going to be RM2.70. You know what I’m talking about. It’s the petrol price. You have time to enjoy rate of RM1.92 till 12:00 am 5th June 2008.
This is earlier than expected. It's earlier than what they said yesterday that they are planning to hike it in August 2008.
Let’s try a rough calculation for the effect on my fuel consumption.
My fuel tank capacity is 50 litres.
However, I normally used up 40 litres before refuel. So, normally I pay RM76.80 for 40 litres of petrol. Now, I’ll have to pay RM108 for 40 litres. That’s an increase of RM31.20 for 40 litres of petrol.
Wow…!!!
Diesel price has also been raised up. It’s going to be RM 2.58 per litre.

Manager VS Leader
The differences between a Manager and a Leader:
The manager drives people, the leader coaches them.
The manager depends on authority, the leader on good will.
The manager inspires fear, the leader inspires enthusiasm.
The manager says “I”, the leader says “WE”.
The manager says “Get here on time”, the leader gets there ahead of time.
The manager fixed blame for the breakdown, the leader fixes the breakdown.
The manager knows how it is done, the leader shows how.
The manager says “Go”, the leader says “Let’s go”.
The manager uses people, the leader develops them.
The manager sees today, the leader also looks at tomorrow.
The manager commands, the leader asks.
The manager never has enough time, the leader makes time for things that count.
The manager is concerned with things, the leader is concerned with people.
The manager works hard to produce, the leader works hard to help people to produce.
The manager takes the credit, the leader gives it.
So, do you want to be a manager or leader?
Be a manager if you want to survive alone.
Be a leader if you want to live along with your people together.

Fuel Price Hike
Alright, something serious is about to happen. I’m talking about consumables. And what I’m talking about is the vehicle fuel.
As many people know, Malaysia is selling petrol and diesel at a very low rate. Currently, its gasoline price is selling at RM1.92 per litre.
The low price is possible with subsidies from the government. However, it has been updated that it will let fuel prices in Malaysia to follow world market price.
Well well, pros and cons here.
Of course the most terrible effect would be the increased in travelling cost for those travelling with their own cars. So, many will approach to use public transport. However, my concern is that, the public transport might also be affected by the increased in fuel price. They also have to use fuel. Therefore, they will also increase their fairs. So, by then, everyone will have to calculate here and there to get the most economical mode of transport. The most obvious thing we will see is a reduction in “drive for fun” or “drive like mad” or “drive with no route plan”. One will have to start planning their journey before ever start their engines. This is actually good to train everyone to be more conscious.
I actually feel a little bit down when hearing that the fuel price will increase so much, as I have been used to the low fuel price. However, I must say, I have been looking forward for this to take effect. Why?
I have the feeling that people here have forgotten that the world is running out of fossil fuel. The world is running out of energies. The world is having too much pollution. The world needs everyone to rescue the world.
So, expensive fuel price will at least help the world by making people feel uncomfortable to simply burn fuel.
Burning fuel, in this case is the operation of combustion engines, actually produce few bi-products. First is the exhaust gas. It contains Carbon monoxide, which is a kind of pollutant. Second would be the heat generated from the engine. Imagine millions of vehicles operating. What the world is trapping?
Many people have already said that people will get used to the increased fuel price, and will again start burning more and more.
So, people...! Don’t just look at the fuel price to decide whether you need to save on your petrol price or not. It’s time and role for us to rescue the world.
P.S.
Ok. I believe, many people will ask, how can I just start with the discussion on fuel price and end with world-rescue thingy? Well, I just can’t see the broken link between them.

Quotes - Warren Buffet
Few days ago, I received forward email, with a presentation slides attached.
It’s a presentation slides related to Mr. Warren Buffet.
The slides brief his life and his principles.
According to the slide, he’s the 2nd richest man.
He has many principles, thinking, and attitudes that I think worth to be example models.
His advices and mind sets are just too meaningful to me. I believe, his advices are practical.
Here are the quotes from the slides that I would like to share:
***
Don’t buy more than what you “really need”.
You are what you are.
Always think how you can accomplish things economically.
Assign the right people to right job. (for bosses)
Make goals and make sure people focus on them.
Don’t try to show off. Just be yourself and do what you enjoy doing.
Warren Buffet’s advices:
- Stay away from credit cards (bank loan) and invest in yourself.
- Money does create man but it is the man who created money.
- Live your life as simple as possible.
- Don’t do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel good.
- Don’t go on brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
- Don’t waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need rather.
- After all it’s your life then why give chance to others to rule your life.
The happiest people DONOT necessarily have the BEST of all. They simply APPRECIATE what they find in their way.

Gundam 3D
Recently, I have been attached to my work more than entertainment. So, I thought, I better find some entertainment to relax my brain a bit.
What’s it supposed to be? Think, think, think, and think… and… this…
This came into my mind. Haha…!!!
It’s the Gundam.
After few minutes of google’ing…I came to know a blog, that the owner actually spends time on drawing the Gundam in 3D by himself. What impresses me is that, he didn’t draw just one. He draws many. And it’s really nice.
You can have a look at his work at http://anaheimmachines.blogspot.com/

Gundam is way too cool .
So, when are we going to see the real functional Gundam in real 1:1 scale?
And when the day of real Gundam exists, what will the world be like?

New Acer Aspire 6920
This is another laptop which catches my attention, with its pretty high-side specification.
Acer calls it Gemstone Blue.
Its media touch-control is very cool.
The highlight would be the Blu-Ray Drive, and a 16” HD widescreen display.
And…it’s just RM4499, with 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
HDD space? It’s a huge 320GB HDD. And also with 2GB Ram.
Graphic card? It’s a GeForce 9500 with dedicated memory of 512MB.
Packaged with Windows Vista Home Premium.
And it has a built-in webcam.
All these with RM4499...!!!
I think it’s quite cheap and worth when looking at the spec.

msfont.dll (computer virus)
Yesterday morning, my antivirus software detected a virus named msfont.dll.
It’s located in the folder c:/windows/system32/.
The antivirus software failed to remove it, neither can quarantine it.
I was a bit worried at that time.
I then tried to delete it manually at the folder, but also not able to delete.
Now I’m more worried.
I searched for information on this virus, and found one discussion at http://groups.msn.com/4pcexperts/general.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=16639&LastModified=4675667198270013869 .
So, I decided to try to enter safe-mode to perform scanning.
And yes, it worked. In safe-mode, the antivirus software was able to quarantine the msfont.dll.
So now, I can delete it.
Phew…I thought I had to reformat my PC already. Lucky there’s information shared on the net. That’s what the internet is for. . .

Love and Madness
This story is shared by Hanim. Thanks for your comment and sharing another nice Love’s Story.
This story would like to say: “Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.”
However, I can see it in another way. The story can also indicate that “Love can be hurt by madness.” The madness can either be from the madness of the person who holds the love himself/herself, or, the madness from others who just don’t know how to handle or value the precious love of the one who loves.
Here’s how the story goes:
Love and Madness
A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it for the first time, virtues and vices floated around and were bored, not knowing what to do.
One day, all the vices and virtues were gathered together and were more bored than ever. Suddenly, Ingenious came up with an idea: "Let's play hide and seek!"
All of them liked the idea and immediately Madness shouted: "I want to count, I want to count!" And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek Madness, all the others agreed.
Madness leaned against a tree and started to count: "One, two, three..." As Madness counted, the vices and virtues went hiding.
Tenderness hung itself on the horn of the moon, Treason hid in a pile of garbage. Fondness curled up between the clouds and Passion went to the centre of the earth.
Lie said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the lake, whilst Avarice entered a sack that he ended up breaking.
And Madness continued to count: "... seventy nine, eighty, eighty one..."
By this time, all the vices and virtues were already hidden -except Love. For undecided as Love is, he could not decide where to hide. And this should not surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to hide Love.
Madness: "...ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven..." Just when Madness got to one hundred, Love jumped into a rose bush where he hid. And Madness turned around and shouted: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"
As Madness turned around, Laziness was the first to be found, because Laziness had no energy to hide. Then he spotted Tenderness in the horn of the moon, Lie at the bottom of the lake and Passion at the centre of the earth.
One by one, Madness found them all - except Love. Madness was getting desperate, unable to find Love. Envious of Love, Envy whispered to Madness: "You only need to find Love, and Love is hiding in the rose bush." Madness grabbed a wooden pitch fork and stabbed wildly at the rose bush. Madness stabbed and stabbed until a heartbreaking cry made him stop.
Love appeared from the rose bush, covering his face with his hands. Between his fingers ran two trickles of blood from his eyes. Madness, so anxious to find Love,had stabbed out Love's eyes with a pitch fork.
"What have I done! What have I done!" Madness shouted. "I have left you blind! How can I repair it?"
And Love answered: "You cannot repair my eyes. But if you want to do something for me, you can be my guide."
And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.
This story would like to say: “Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.”
However, I can see it in another way. The story can also indicate that “Love can be hurt by madness.” The madness can either be from the madness of the person who holds the love himself/herself, or, the madness from others who just don’t know how to handle or value the precious love of the one who loves.

Love appeared from the rose bush, covering his face with his hands. Between his fingers ran two trickles of blood from his eyes. Madness, so anxious to find Love,had stabbed out Love's eyes with a pitch fork.
"What have I done! What have I done!" Madness shouted. "I have left you blind! How can I repair it?"
And Love answered: "You cannot repair my eyes. But if you want to do something for me, you can be my guide."
And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.

Love’s Story
It’s been a long time I didn’t update this blog. Sorry. I have been busy with full-time work for the past few weeks. Exhausted. I will try to update this blog whenever possible.
Today, I received a forward email, which I feel it’s quite meaningful.
The story actually translates into the saying “Time will Judge Everything” or "Time will Cure".
Here’s how the story goes…

Love's Story
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left. Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat." Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh....Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love too, but he was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.
Love realizing how much he owed the elder and asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
