Woah I heard its Fathers Day back in good old Malaysia! Hahaha I did not know at all! After all Fathers Day in Australia is only celebrated later in the year so sorry dad I hope I am not being too insensitive by not calling you during Fathers Day! 
In response to the article at http://www.malaysia-today.net/2008/content/view/8616/84/
Which states that he will resign if he can't reduce the price of oil is something I find it a little disturbing. Here are my views on this issue.
Though I admit that Amwar aim to reduce the price of oil is very commendable and deserve praise I can't help feel that our country obsession with the price of oil can be detrimental to the state of the Malaysian economy. Yes I am sure that Anwar has the intelligence to reduce the price of oil by making Petronas more transparent or through strategic subsidies but I believe it is time for the Malaysia to have a strong drive and ambition to reduce it dependency on petroleum. Having studied the chemistry of hydrocarbons while studying I had seen the history of the production and rate of consumption of petroleum by the world since the 13th century by early civilisations. With this substance humanity was able to expand in ways unimaginable back then. With this Black Gold we have conquered the world but at the price of being addicts to this drug. Just look at our everyday things, I bet you can't find one single item that has not been produce without petroleum!
If Anwar seriously want to make a difference to the Malaysian economy he has to begin to do something much more drastic aside from reducing the price of oil which is to begin the catalyst to reduce the country dependency on oil. The peak production of depending on who you talk to has either passed or very close. Malaysia should begin to invest heavily not only on energy alternatives but also enact new laws to reduce the usage of all petroleum base products. Here is my list on Anwar should do to seriously make the Malaysian economy more efficient and cost effective.
1. Plastic bags - All shopping complexes and supermarkets have to seriously look into banning plastic bags all together and encourage shoppers to carry bring their own shopping bag. Here in Australia it is a common place to see shoppers to bring their own bags to carry their items. Some supermarkets charge extra for every plastic bag that the shopper asked for to encourage them to bring their own bags. Other places just banned plastic bags all together. Right now Malaysians just shamelessly ask for extra or more plastic bags to every time they purchase items from a supermarket. Those that do bring their own shopping bags are sometimes suspected of being shoplifters by the security guards! (Its true I had seen cases of this happening)
2. Improve transport system - Lets face it many Malaysians avoid public transport unless they have no choice but to use it. I had used many buses and taxis back in Malaysia and to tell you the truth most of them are in a very sorry state. They should seriously overhaul the most basic systems such as the trains, buses and taxis. The country does not seriously need another grandiose construction project such as the over hype LRT project to improve the transport system. All they need is new buses and taxis with better train people to drive/operate them.
3. Slash import taxes (or any tax for that matter) for all "green cars" - It is time to give Malaysian drivers a REAL choice to make to help the environment. They are many car manufacturers that have to develop automobiles that run on electricity, hydrogen and even steam!!! There are also many hybrid cars out there that can give the consumers more choices as well. Below are some models that should be seriously considered. Heck if our automobile market is open to this green cars just imagine the investments that will pour in!
The hydrogen powered FCHV (Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle) was developed by Toyota in 2005
2007 Tesla electric powered Roadster
4. Increase taxes on automobiles that run exclusively on petroleum – This does not need to be implemented directly but just until the ratio of ‘green’ cars to petrol run cars are in the favour of green cars. It’s a great idea I believe to make people that had not taken the imitative to help the environment to pay for it. After all if we are going to die due the destruction of the Earth’s environment at least make all those emphatic people suffer some pain in their pockets before that happens right?
5. Buildings – Seriously there should be new laws that require all new houses and buildings to pass a very strict environment and safety laws. All new buildings should at least be capable to generate 5% - 10% of its total energy needs through solar power or any other sources. Later all other older buildings such as homes and factories should also be upgraded
Ok that’s all I guess these are just the few relatively small steps that I will suggest to our dear Anwar when he becomes Prime Minister. I sincerely believe It is time somebody do something bout the state of dependency of oil!
I just love the angry german kid videos on Youtube! Heres one of my favourite spoof! [Warning!!!!] lotz of vulgar language involve!
I always had admired how people or fans such as the one below actually has the ability and passion to create such great fan trailers!!! I just wanna share this video! I love the song selection plus the great editing!!! Favourite scenes for me all the firebending scenes by Aang and Suki!
Hahahaha I am feeling kinda bored after exams so I decided to resume playing Dominion Liege Lord which I had neglected for many months now here are my latest rankings! Hey if you guys played better more then me its your business I just play for fun and lest often!
Hahaha I had been concentrating on the magical ops and espionage rankings! After I started late and attacking land of other Dominions is to late for me! Hahahaha but at least I have a defense of 28 DPA more then enough to cover my lands! Seeya!
Finally exams are over.... but for some reason I do not really feel anything with a hint of depression! (ok now i sound weird) but seriously after going through chemistry and physics papers I kinda know what I am going to get and its not gonna be any good! Most people found it hard ( i forced myself to finish the questions even it means putting the most ridiculous answers out there!) but that does not really cheer me up! I know its hard but its a long time since I felt this feeling in an exam - panic- Hahahaha In my humble opinion I did not really had a lot of time!
After the exams I was kicking myself for not studying the stupid chemical goind ons in DNA and learning how to interpret the NMR graphs properly! Sigh this sucks so much! I seriously hate this test! There was also a weird question asking me to WRITE the structural formulas of the chemicals along with ALL the bonds! I thought to myself whether they meant to DRAW OR WRITE! I end up doing both and it took a large chunk of my time! Damn I just can't stand it I just know I screwed up too many question....
So in conclusion I feel rotten doing this stuff and the stupid cold weather does not help! Sigh I am also coming down with a flu something that has not happen in a long time...! Ok thats all for now I just hope the coming holidays will be better! And please no more cold and windy this....
Woah I this quiz is fun! So i decided to try out by putting the names of people I know! Hahahahahaha!
Woah I have a kissing skill of 100% the rumours about me are true!
This guy below is a jack of all trades!
Ceh lemahnya!

Ok thats all folks i better stop before somebody kills me! Hahahaha! (I am doing this in the middle of an exam somemore haiz...)

This is strictly from a mathematical viewpoint...
It goes like this:
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that
might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far Ass Kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and
Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
The finale of my hectic exams schedule is coming to a close after going through some really tiring SACS and studying and assignments which I forgot to pass up I finally can face my last and largest exams for this year! After the 14 of June I will finally complete my Unit 3 for Biology, Chemistry and Physics! YES I can just feel the happiness within me! Hahahaha! After that my only major stuff is UMAT is coming later in the month! Its a really hectic month after all hahahaha!
Also just a note here it seems that shakers or the mechanical pencil with a shaker is rare in AUS! Hahahahaha! some of my friends here think is a cool product! They never really seen a shaker before hahahaha! Weird isn't it? But i guess some stuff that a country has in abundant in another country is very rare! Ok thats all seeya!
