The "Xenon"

There was one articles on by Road Transport Department enforcement director Salim Parlan says on considering banning car with xenon light installed, or more popular as HID.

Personally I do support the banned but perhaps a better way is to do a control like our car tinted, xenon light bulbs also have bright, brighter, brightest...(donno what's the correct terms :-P) so it should be able to control.

There is one reader argued that xenon light give more secured light coverage and better than conventional light bulbs, to me that statement is a BULL SHIT, normal light bulbs has been here many many many years before xenon light comes, but never have an articles on banning them cause these lamp bulbs simply does NOT poses any "irritate state" to any user before.

Well some people don’t even have the brain to soundly think about their car headlamps whether they pose danger to people or not, those especially with high beam should 100% ban, as it poses a great danger to other road users, to them it look glamours on their car (and theirself) If the JPJ ban the xenon light, many car user will opposed not because they cannot drive their car, just because they won't look as glamour and especially causes them a hole in the pocket (for those already installed), so at the end, a proper control instead of banning it, is so far fair to everyone.

By the way, I do not represent any vehicle or lighting manufacturer, and neither are any of my cars fitted with Xenon or HID lights.

Another Years "Old"

This year birthday, try out Chili's Restaurant at Gurney, the price is slightly expensive but the dishes is "Big Size", and in fact is nice, try out the "lamp shoulder", you'll like it, damn full but have a enjoyable dinner on the first day.

Alot wishing coming in, thanks everyone !
As getting older, sometime don't have the "form" to do so much things like "younger" time, tend to relax. Begin to be lazzzzzzy......

A surprise comes from fellows colleague, they're celebrating with me, a mini party has been held, no special terms or word can say...except Thank You All, I valued it.

An Inconvenient Truth

Former US Vice President, Mr. Al Gore organized a great seminar, about Global Warming, whoever attended his seminar or at least aware what he said during the seminar will find that in-deed our earth is in great dire strait. In fact many people does not aware the urgency of global warming, we do our daily routine without giving a damn what happen because many simply does not have much sense for our earth, the effort by many company is not that impressive, well something to note :












He show some nice picture of famous icy mountain now facing "melt-down", the cause...

The climate system varies through natural, internal processes and in response to variations in external forcing factors including solar activity, volcanic emissions, variations in the earth's orbit (orbital forcing) and greenhouse gases......Would this sounds like natural disaster ? well we "HUMAN" are always one of the many contributor for nature change, we can see even on movie, many creatures, mutant, so-called accident, are all started with Human. Example : Godzilla - its existent due to nuclear effect from buclear bomb.

The increased levels of greenhouse gases due to human activity as the main influence. This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, other hypotheses have been proposed to explain most of the observed increase in global temperatures. Among these hypotheses are that the warming is caused by natural fluctuations in the climate or that warming is mainly a result of variations in solar radiation.

The predicted effects for the environment and for human life are numerous and varied. The main effect is an increasing global average temperature. From this flow a variety of resulting effects, namely, rising sea levels, altered patterns of agriculture, increased extreme weather events, and the expansion of the range of tropical diseases.

What Can We Do To Prevent ? Some Tips :


1) Change a light. Replacing a regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent one saves 150 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.

2) Drive less. Walk, bike, carpool, take mass transit, and/or trip chain. All of these things can help reduce gas consumption and one pound of carbon dioxide for each mile you do not drive.

3) Recycle more and buy recycled. Save up to 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide each year just by recycling half of your household waste. By recycling and buying products with recycled content you also save energy, resources and landfill space!

4) Check your tires. Properly inflated tires mean good gas mileage. For each gallon of gas saved, 20 pounds of carbon dioxide are also never produced.

5) Use less hot water. It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Reducing the amount used means big savings in not only your energy bills, but also in carbon dioxide emissions. Using cold water for your wash saves 500 pounds of carbon dioxide a year, and using a low flow showerhead reduces 350 pounds of carbon dioxide. Make the most of your hot water by insulating your tank and keeping the temperature at or below 120.

6) Avoid products with a lot of packaging. Preventing waste from being created in the first place means that there is less energy wasted and fewer resources consumed. When you purchase products with the least amount of packaging, not only do you save money, but you also help the environment! Reducing your garbage by 10% reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 1,200 pounds.

7) Plant a tree. A single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

8) Turn off electronic devices when not in use. Simply turning off your TV, VCR, computer and other electronic devices can save each household thousand of pounds of carbon dioxide each year.

How much we can do from the tips above ? I believe its depend, well the awareness of global warming still lack among many people, some aware but not much action taken to prevent, a truth is a truth, we cannot pretend nothing happen about the truth, the truth that affect the world, an inconvenient truth.

1 Year (一年)

Opening......

Enter June 2007, the third years of this Blog, somehow I just notice that, its been a year since this Blog being updated, Gosh, the time is just so fast, I don't feel like I've desert the Blog for 1 year, somehow the last update profile show it is.

Happy Wedding

Suddenly feel want to talk abit here, theres nothing so exceptional or new about friend or colleague wedding, since working till now seen many friend has married, some still remain single and some preferred single...

The wedding season come again, 2 Weeks ago attended a school friend wedding (18 Years), today attended another one also from school friend (13 Years), many of school friend married, more to come, my ex-boss turn to married, nothing really special can say, just wish all married friend and colleague, and I mean ALL, including those I attended before.

What Your "Great" name ?

Need to process an account matter, went to a prominent local bank, met my cousin, how nice...normal procedure, click the number button and wait for your turn, our turn came, proceed to counter and process our stuff, just few second after reaching the counter...an officer shouted "fuck you" ar "fuck you"... :-O

My eyes naturally peek into the office to "ke po" abit, then another officer shouted to another officer "fuck you ar, the signature is invalid, why always like that eh" :-O

Wah, what on earth happen in this bank ??!! fighting ? Beh Siok ?


That officer don't seems to angry or upset by what his colleague call him, instead he put up a smile and replied : "well, some people try to look smart by changing signature too often" X-O (I'm confuse)

A peek on that officer name tag...Surprise !!, his name is really "Fuck You" (exact spelling), I just pause...pause, pause. After that just can't stop thinking and laughing, just cannot control.

He he oh don't get me wrong, Please please I'm not insulting that officer, but is really funny, why his colleague not even bother to call him by surname or his christian name ? (if he has one).

Well, this scenario remind me of something, which we have learned before...be proud/satisfied of what you has being enrich to or own, be it name or what you are today, life is not miserable even bearing that kind of name, don't let people take advantage on you. Instead I can see that officer is enjoying to own this name. I must admit, I salute him. ;-)

What the real fact behind ?

Some point here about this banner, if you notice properly, there's a word "CHEATING" at the middle pasted by someone apparently disklike or possible are the one really being "cheat".

I do see quite a number of advertisement by this company but doesn't know much what it does, but I suppose the "pepetrator" should voice concern directly to the company. Somehow some people out there just tend to use "childish" way to tarnish a persons or an organizations name.

What is the real fact behind the story ? who's actually at fault ? God knows.

Happy 2 Years Old : cowl.blogspot.com

From pretty alot blog buddies till today, a few is still active in updating, a few just simply stopped, well hope more will back.

A great years and looking foward to even better year for My Blog, it turned 2 today. ;-)

Happy Birthday !! Happy Birthday !!

Backstabbers Scare

Saw an articles on a famous newspaper, talk about politics todays, happen many places, government, office, factory, home school, virtually happened everywhere, especially at places where many people are in one placed.

All those politics create another bad side of human (negative) attitude : betrayal, cheating, selfish, backstabber...etc

Among all, the survey score show the "most scary" seems to be = "backstabbers", why ? some points :


a) Backstabber are often start with a very simple gesture,
Gossipping! when gossip intensified, a sense of betrayal is
created as everyone just say someone bad things BEHIND that
person, and if there are people who are childish, will tend to do
some silly thing on the person that being gossipped.

b) Backstabber wont't necessary come from person you know, it may
come from stranger. (awful isn't it ?)

c) Human morale and abit on Psychology effect involved, if Out Of
Control, you can't imagine the consequence. UGLY...BOO BOO

I remember during school time, even myself sometime tend to talk about someone, but lucky enough I'm not that kind of people easy out of control and do silly thing to person being gossiped, phew...other people ? don't ask me loh...

Previously I have friends who like backstabbed and gossiped about someone but they never said anything in front of the "victim". I, on the other hand, didn't mind saying what I thought about someone, this is what you call courage. Off course I hope that person can matured enough to accept my comment instead getting piss fast...tiu, sometime good person hard to do(好人难做) O:-)

I posted this as I really see it happen in my life and even aggravated...so dissapointed. Frankly I prefer people to come strait to me when or if they has any about me, off course in a professional and peaceful manner. We are dealing with "Siu Yan" (true coward) (Steve, Phek Siu Yan!!! Phek! Phek! Phek!)

The end of the article on the newspaper wrote :

It doesn't matter what people say about you especially if they say it behind your back because these people are nothing but backstabbers and cowards.

They do this to be LIKED by many but instead, at the end they make society turn AGAINST THEM. If you hear that your friends are saying things behind your back, stand up and tell them that you aren't scared of them and they are nothing but big cowards who dare not say anything about you in front of you, and say it with authority.

This small little plant

Notice a little "grass" at a "cave" beside the signal light, though of removing it but then only to realise...is a plant, nicely grow and the color just so perfect, just don't have the tendency to destroy it anymore, pause, pause,pause...for a while, is really feel good and refreshing when first seeing it.

Well just leave it alone, plants do have the right to "live", but I can't guarantee how long it will stay there, hope to dig it out and put it somewhere on the garden.

The Cause And Effect Sutra

Wesak Day, went to pay respect to buddha and bodhisattva, very crowded, gasp...

There an area which distribute some book, went there and one little red book which catch my attention for first glimpse, grap it, oh, its titled "The Cause And Effect Sutra". Which talk about KARMA, is this coincident ? or fated ? remember just wrote about karma few posting before this. Another nice thing about this book is it came with picture, so is more attractive to own it.

There alot what we do todays affect after life, I'm not try to be sounds like become a monk or anything and I think people other than buddhist may not really trust it, nevertheless whatever "type" of people you are, should do GOOD CAUSE at all time, that the basic of human interaction, the "Angel" within your heart and mind. I was thinking of re-print the book for charity. ;-)

Brokeback Mountain 断背山

Yesterday, not sure where this VCD come from, happen to watched this, alot curiosity in this Ang Lee directed love epic, though I don't really like love story much, but the hormone of curiosity, make me wonder how the two cowboys eventually fall in love of each other. The only way to find out is to watch the movie, else just get this book at any book store like Popular or MPH.

After watched, err...it does make sense......the power of love does "not care" what biological background you are, and after all, is still human to human right ?

The whole story is really naturally like a love story, the way they develop feeling towards each other is simple......and......make sense. The only special thing is that it involved 2 guys, (batang sama batang), the story stretch both of their love to over 20 year, there is no boundaries, nothing on earth could hide their feeling towards each other, eventhough both guy eventually married to woman and have children, still love is love.

We just have to respect Love, is so powerful, so torturing, so sweet...

Yoga

Do some study on Yoga recently due to many recommendation, indeed alot testimonial prove this exercise is far better than the physical work out to build muscle...in Yoga, in seems to consists both...Physical and Mental.

The Health Benefits of Yoga :

Benefit of yoga is physical and mental therapy. The aging process, which is largely an artificial condition, caused mainly by autointoxication or self-poisoning, can be slowed down by practicing yoga. By keeping the body clean, flexible and well lubricated, we can significantly reduce the catabolic process of cell deterioration.

Em...I got few guest pass ticket (per-entry) absolutely free, valid until this 31st May 2006, anyone interested to try out, can get from me :-)

Effective Time Management

1.Make a plan.
Planning is the key to time management. But don't just make a great-looking plan, implement it and stick to it! Be sure it's a realistic one that provides for the usual interruption, distractions and delays.

2.Know your priorities.
Make a list of your priorities and label them according to importance and urgency. Tackle the most important first, hopefully move on to the medium-priority items when and if you have the time.

3.Believe you're entitled to some personal time.
Incorporate time for family and friends, hobbies, exercises and outings rather than giving them whatever scraps of time are left. Leisure time is never wasted time, but precious personal space that allows you to put your life in perspective and recharge your batteries to perform better at work.

4.Don't be a perfectionist.
Complete projects within the time frame you've set-and deliver. Wanting to do a great job is one thing; being obsessed about it to the point of going over the details again and again and missing your deadline is another.

5.Learn to say NO.
Inability to refuse more projects, invitations and responsibilities is a mojor cause of work pileup and torpedoes your carefully laid-out plans.

Thank You Kevin Lim

He was my L2 boss, though he won't see or realise this Blog, well doesn't matter, just want to say thanks (which I've personally told him before) for what he does, a very understanding leader who not only will judge or pre-judge too much like other, perhaps he has done his best in helping me, not to mentioned alot hoo haa and precious time wasted, yet the trust is still there.

Thank You !

Those under him should appreciate and be glad you know...(Tang ? Kevin Khoo ?)

Is a short period of time I work under your flagship, not in time to really show all I got, nevertheless I hope my next boss will be like you and I'll adapt your leadership way when there a chance. Cheers !!

The Ugly Facts

What could I say ?! About what happen, rewind back the memories is just like shooting movie, good guys, bad guys, friends or foes...alot event which most of the time occur at movies becomes reality, just don't believe there are such supreme childish humane live in Dell, and Thanks to the inefficiency and inexperience some parties, more trouble created.

Nevertheless, alot has been seen and most important...Learned,


- Who is Friend Or Foe ?

- Who really care of your well being and remember what you done good
to them.

- There are immatured coward who choosed to be a coward, and hiding
in a bush, which will remain coward for the rest of "its" life,
awaiting KARMA to fall back.

- How the inefficiency of the company and process needs remedy,
and consultation.

- How you should be strong when obstacle come, (is to be strong not
be stubborn.)

Remember at the end of the day not really many people give a damn
what happen to you as long as not happen to them.

Too much to be though, huh ? looks like compaining here, nah, not really, well, sometime is The Ugly Facts many of us did not realise or simply forgotten.

My Motorcycle

About 2 weeks ago, make a drastic decision...sold my lovely motorcycle, so reluctant at first, is being with me for 10Years, sad...well, better than let it "vandalise" by people and keep dirt lah, the purchase value about RM4K++ what would be the value now you think ? I though it can sell less than RM500, it still worth RM1K++, average depreciate value of 7.5% yearly, local vehicle are really worth sometime. For me to sell now, at least can save some money...money money.
