Have you ever met people who pocket stacks of RM50 or RM100 notes in their pants?
A few weeks ago, I encountered one guy who took out one thick stack of RM50 notes from his trousers’ pocket to pay for his (less than RM50) bill. From the look of it, there could have been 50 pieces of RM50 or more in that stack. I wonder if he has a few more stacks in his pockets. Needless to say, the note that he passed to me was wet. *yuck*
When I was working as a cashier a few years ago, I encountered a few people like this as well. I have always wondered if there are actually people who keep thousands of ringgits in their pockets all the time. Do you know of anyone like this?
Anyway, I am also curious of their occupations. What kind of people would carry thousands of ringgits in their pockets wherever they go? I doubt an IT staff would be able to do that. Below is a list of possible people who would carry stacks of RM50 and RM100 notes with them all the time.
- Business man
- Datuk
- Rich man’s son
- Ah Long
- Contractors
- Gambler
- Politician
- Judge
- Policeman
Please bear in mind that these are just my guesses. Who do you think these people are?

I have seen many photographs of individuals published in blogs and websites online. I am sure you have as well. Sometimes, the person (or people) in the photograph may be a stranger to the photographer.
I have always wondered if there is a legal issue regarding this where the photographer must seek the approval of the “model” before:
- taking the photo
- publishing it (online — blog, website, etc and offline — magazine, newspaper, etc)
There are many photos that I see online that I am quite sure the photographer didn’t get the approval of the person in the photo before publishing it. In this case, is it legally wrong or just ethically wrong of the photographer to be doing that? Or maybe the photographer isn’t wrong at all since they were in a public place?
Do you ask the permission of the “model” before taking their photo? Did you inform them that you may publish it online for the world to see? What are your thoughts on this?

I am sure most of you have watched the movie “Signs”. I don’t fully understand the meaning of the movie. I believe it talks about faith but why were there aliens? LOL. Anyway…
Have you ever been in a crossroad where you do not know which path to take? Did you quietly wished or prayed for a sign to guide you through it? What if a sign has been sent to you but you do not realize it?
On the other hand, all these so-called signs could be mere coincidence. There are a lot happening around us and I am sure one or two things could have happen on pure chance.
The question is, do you believe in signs?
There are some things in my life that I can categorize as signs. In fact, something came up the other day and I can’t help but to wonder if this is a sign sent to me. I don’t reject the possibility that it could be a coincidence but what if it isn’t? However, let’s just assume that it was a sign sent to me. My next question would be, “What is this sign trying to tell me?”
From what I can think of, there are two ways to it — positive and negative. So which way is it?
Someone should inform the “sign sender” to make their messages clearer. Some people may receive them but do not know what to do with it. *sigh*

Have you ever received emails from individuals promoting themselves and wanting to be your “friend”? The content of the letter is basically the same — how they found your email address, introducing themselves, hobby, and a small note at the end.
I received dozens of these emails in the past. I suspect it could be sent by the same person or it could be the works of a copycat. That is because I could almost memorize the “Note” part at the end of the email. They usually end like this:
Note:
1) No direct sales, please. The best quality products are
available in Tesco, Carrefour and Giant.
2) No insurance, please. With more than 10 life policies and PAs,
please leave me alone.
3) No unit trust, please. My aim is to grow my existing portfolio of
RM600,000 to RM1.2 million within the next five years, and, I would
like to do it without your “help”.
I wonder what the aim of the email is. Is it to get your email address when you reply and to spam you with other services later? Or is he hoping to trap some girls into going out with them and then…
This is the title of the email, “nothing wrong with knowing a new friend, right?”. There is nothing wrong with knowing a friend but please be careful who you chat with online.

Kimi Raikkonen’s championship crown was insecure when stewards found that the BMW Sauber and Williams teams were using illegal fuel. The fuel samples taken from all four cars from the two teams were between 12 to 14 degrees centigrade lower than the ambient temperature. The rules state that the fuel must never be more than 10 degrees lower.
The two teams were obviously having illegal fuel onboard and a penalty should have been imposed on them. If that happens, three of them who finished ahead of Hamilton would have dropped out of the points thus allowing Hamilton to score three extra points. That would effectively made Hamilton the champion instead of Kimi.
However, it did not happen. None of the drivers from the two teams were penalized and the result is final.
I am not one bit surprised at all. If anything, this further proves that the championship was fixed.
Read the article from F1Live.
To look at the bigger picture, neither the McLaren drivers deserve to win the championship. Stripping off their points would mean that the remaining races are nothing but crap. The whole season has been spoilt by the stolen data McLaren got from Ferrari. The championship ended the way it did was probably to fuel some excitement in the fans. To let the fans have a great show. If only the mechanics and the drivers were better actors, I’d say they had a better chance in fooling us.
If only the McLaren team was this strong without the entire spy scandal, I’d say Hamilton deserves to be crowned the world champion. Unfortunately, he has benefited from the data and that is a fact.
McLaren’s 2008 challenger will surely benefit from the extra knowledge that they have. Despite this illegally obtained advantage, I hope all teams compete fairly in the next season.
