Special Notice: Amaran Keras

Yesterday, I spotted a very interesting notice from the Management of a commercial building (near Metroview Condominium) at Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur.

I just couldn't imagine what has causes the Management to put up such notice that says: 'do not urinate or shit in this area'. They must have been experiencing something really bad.

Would anyone urinate or defecate at public places like this? How uncivilised people can be...disgusting!!!

Anyway, will this notice make any difference to the people whom committed such act? I do hope the Management can catch this person and stop such incident to happen again.

E.T. Is My Love From The Star

I wonder if anyone (Gen-Y) can understand a scene in the latest popular Korean drama, My Love From The Star (来自星星的你). In episode 18, Do Min-joon (an alien who has landed on Earth 400 years ago during Josean Dynasty) was asked by Cheon Yoon-jae to connect their friendship by touching their fingers together. There is this special background music too.

This is the famous act adopted from the movie E.T. In 1982. The background music played was the original main theme soundtrack of E.T. which I think many of the Gen-Y have not heard before. It is good to bring back such memories as E.T. was known as the earlier icon of Alien explorer to planet Earth and expose the younger generations to some good old movies.

Earlier I have problems to illustrate my example using E.T. friendship with human because all my students don't what is E.T.. Well, I hope after this, some of my students can understand my examples using E.T. and its adventure on Earth.

Breaking News: Mercedez-Benz Got Stuck At Starhill Gallery

An unlucky driver ramped up a luxury Mercedez-Benz to the pedestrian walkway and got stuck at the back entrance of Starhill Gallery Kuala Lumpur.

There are construction work nearby and maybe the driver got confused with the road. Without any proper divider or sign, the driver could have thought that there is another road. The wide open area behind Starhill Gallery may look like another road for the driver, especially at night when there is no proper sign or barriers.

Be very careful if you are driving around that area. Hope the gallery management will put up some sign or a barrier to alert and also to protect the pedestrian. Good luck.

Haze Never Left Kuala Lumpur

As we thought our air is getting better this morning, the haze has emerged again and showing its ability to cause uncomfort and breathing difficulty to many of us in Kuala Lumpur. We have to stay strong and healthy to combat haze; especially when exam is coming for my students. Be ready for the worse as many places are still reporting hotspot and burning in Malaysia. Take care people.

Shocking News on Missing MAS MH370 Aircraft

It all started on a Saturday morning, and I got to know about this news when I was traveling to work. The radio station 9.88 made an annocement of a missing MAS aircraft which supposed to land at Beijing in the morning 6.30am. However, the aircraft MH370 was reported missing at 2.30am. It has been more that 35 hours now and nothing yet to be found and confirmed by the authorities on the whereabouts of the aircraft.

With the advancement of modern technology, it is still possible that an aircraft as big as this Boeing 777 to vanished. Many speculations has been circulating around and I don't think I want to create more unnecessary confusion on this. Just hope that all the 227 passengers and 12 crew members are safe. Whatever happen, this will definitely affects all Malaysian and others who care about MH370 safety. Let us all pray for them and keep our hope alive for their returns.

Espressolab - Even Competitor's Staff Cannot Resist

Today is the grand opening of Espressolab's 13th outlet at Plaza Lowyat, Kuala Lumpur. In-conjunction with the grand opening, they are offering a 'Buy One Get One Free' (beverage only) promotion for 1 day only at this new outlet.

Personally, I think the promotion is very attractive to coffee lovers; even somebody who works for their competitor cannot resist to try out the espressolab coffee...

This is why you need a good marketing campaign - Seeing is believing!!!

3 Things We Should Not Do During Water Shortage Period

This month, households in Klang Valley will be facing a very tough challenge- water supply shortage. Despite of Syabas efforts to divide the affected areas into zones for water supply interruption (2 days off and on rotation system), it will not be sufficient if the households do not take steps to reduce the water consumption (saving water).

Setting priority of water consumption becomes critical. A few activities that I feel we can avoid during these dry period:

1. Car wash - it can be horrible and not look on you if your car is dirty, but that helps to save lots of water.

2. Washing blankets or carpets - lots of water are needed to wash these...maybe just hang on for another month.

Son, can you see that Klang Valley is facing water shortage problem? Please go educate the people to be more responsible in water consumption! If not, Earth will end up like our home....

3. Do not let children to play with water at home - this is the worst thing to happen, even when there is no water shortage problem, it should be allowed!!!
