Perwaja settles debt with TNB

PETALING JAYA: Steel company Perwaja Steel Sdn Bhd has settled in full its RM320mil debt that was owed to Tenaga Nasional Berhad. 

Perwaja, a 51% owned subsidiary of Kinsteel Berhad, settled its debt after Kinsteel took over Perwaja due to Kinsteel’s successful efforts in increasing overall capacity utilisation. 

In a statement, Kinsteel managing director Tan Sri Pheng Yin Huah said the company was pleased that it had successfully settled all its debts with TNB. 

“This shows our strengthening cash flow based on our improved performance in the operations of Perwaja.” 

Kinsteel, one of the largest integrated steel manufacturers in the country, is listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia.

11am

i m supposed to hv a class with yr1 till 11.20am BUT i walked out the class. A batch of boys was talking like the class is theirs! So, i handed the class to them!! haha. Many are holding that stupid MORAL EDUCATION book(lack of moral, no education!) again … perhaps, there is a test. Hmm … the whole stupid society is getting into me, i guess. Next time around, I will PIN POINT to the boys/girls that make noise and make sure they are OUT of the class! I will do that, done that … and doing just that.

Anyway, i could hv extra 20 minutes to listen to S.H.E …. lol.

Time to grab something to eat.

Sutera League

I played last night with Fred and Norazah(malay-lady … fred’s wife! And, she is 4th best female player in Sabah). The team won 3-1 against Radzi team(Norazian, 2nd best female player playing for them). I played well … 222, 188 and 169(tarik), averaging 190 easily again. LOL. BTW, we lost the first game by ONE SINGLE PIN with me playing high game of 222. Hmm … it is all team work here. Fred strike-home for the team to win by TWO PINS in game two! That was close! That is bowlling … you may lose by a pin, you still lose, k?

I will be squading for the SUNDAY 9-pin tap competition(this Sunday). See if i could qualify la … otherwise, i will just watch the game.

Mag most beautiful picture i hv ever taken! Haha.

Transmile surges in early trade, despite Bursa query

By Joseph Chin

KUALA LUMPUR: Loss-making Transmile Group Bhd’s share price surged to a two-month high of RM2.52 in early trade on Thursday, extending its gains from yesterday that prompted a query from Bursa Malaysia Securities. 

It opened flat at RM2.11. Within the first hour of trade, there were 5.19 million shares done at prices ranging from RM2.01 to RM2.52. 

At 10am, it was the top gainer, trading at RM2.40, up 29 sen or 13.7%. 

Yesterday, it closed 45 sen higher to RM2.11 in very active trade, prompting a query from Bursa Securities. 

However, the company replied that it was not aware of any reason for the increase in the share price. It posted a net loss of RM279.64mil in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2007 from a net loss of RM63.77mil in FY06. For Q4 2007, it posted a net loss of RM179.43mil compared with a net loss of RM24.89mil in the previous corresponding quarter. 

A news report recently said the express air cargo forwarder was starting off on a clean slate after making huge provisions in the last financial year.  

Last November, two former Transmile directors were charged in court for knowingly authorising the furnishing of misleading financial information to the stock exchange after they could not fork out RM500,000 each to settle compounds.  

Chin Keem Feung, 42, and Shukri Sheikh Abdul Tawab, 43 were charged for allowing a misleading statement in respect to Transmile’s unaudited quarterly results for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2006, to be released to Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd. The misleading statement was in relation to Transmile’s reported revenue of RM989.2mil.  

5am

Morning … I woke up 4am and tired with my data(while TV is watching me — England trailing 1-0). Peter Crouch, Michael Owen and David James playing … they are not even in Rafa’s best 11. Many france players are playing in the EPL too. Commersializing the game so much in England that some greedy fella suggested to play EPL games OUT of ENGLAND!! Haha. Luckily the FIFA president got some brain. Phew! He opposed to the move but somehow … one day, EPL will be played at Bukit Jalil. The argument is that so that the fans in all over the world(they mean ASIA and rich countries) could have the chance to watch their favourite players playing LIVE!! If they are such a fanatic about the game, and RICH enough, they can always fly to England to watch the games, right? Oh please … it costs you about rm5-6k only. You don’t like to travel to KLIA etc etc …? Then, you may always buy the private jet! Don’t tell me that you LOVE environment and do not like to burn so much of petrol just for your personal pleasure, k? You pure hypocrite! Haha. 

International Office

Anyway, yesterday’s visit by the director Azizah was boring and more of … I m doing my job la. You buy me the daging-rusa(deer meat) as I indirectly requested, k? So silly that the CEO needs to bring it up the other day during our meeting that this “BIG” person were asking where can get halal daging rusa in Sabah. She is on official trip here to check on our international students and their welfare, ending up asking few(but lengthy) questions not so related to our international students!! I don’t really get it … gov paid these rubbish officers millions to … err … (David Beckham is coming off — 100 caps. The world worshipping him and Victoria! Haha.) … do some official jobs? Haha … nice hotels and meals … and more to EAT(under table and you all need to smell my butts — get me the dagaing-rusa or else my hand might not be able to sign these approval documents!). With the approval, the school can start recruiting students from overseas, particularly from neighbouring countries. It is important to the development of the school, so to speak.   Mr Teh, you are teaching? If we are going to give you all the licence, he should not be teaching. Mr Lee then answered that I m needed to teach Maths and the management will get full-time officers. She added,at least two officers needed! Haha. The CEO face changed. She must be wondering if she buys her more daging-rusa(plus perhaps camel-meat too), she might allow mr TEH to continue to be the International officer. Afterall, I m only in charge of the unit for the past 3 weeks and done nothing much to our 8 international students, just yet. Why are we employing the extra 2 officers for? Hmm … that is the problems with HUMAN, particularly things relating to gov — they are NOT consistent(as it depends on how much of veals you give, or they might want mutton too). They are irrational and at times, plain STUPID. The money spent(millions drain down to few pockets) does not reach the actual objective. Letsssss party … haha.

Well, my job as the international officer ended yesterday. We were preparing for their visit. Then, we have to wait(for how long?? DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH DAGING YOU BOUGHT ME, CLEAR??) for the licence … I hv taken two weeks to prepare for the room … it is nice now but they did not even VISIT the international-office I set up. Hai ya … talking about giving face. Haha.  It is 5.45am now … need to get ready. I think Capello’ team will lose this game — his first international game. Tho it is a friendly, England loses anyway. They are not even in EURO this year. Phew! I can sleep soundly … not needing to wake up in wee hours to watch them losing. LOL.

Anelka coming off — replaced by Cisse. Both are ex-liverpool players! Haha. 1-0, the final score. Lost by a penalty kick — considered as not so lucky la. Hmm …

7.45 am

Morning … back in school to read my own blog. Haha. Hey, Kia Kee, your blog got spider-web there liao la … haha. Thoght i could motivate you to write more? haha. j/k … oh yes, IT IS TIME to go in KLSE, i think. All the best.

 One of the beauty in my eyes … used to like such sentimental songs. Hmm … still like many of her songs.

KLCI down 5.28 points before i go for lunch. Maybank dropped 60cents(please READ biz-news) as no one hv much confidence with INDON venture. Perhaps ASTRO painted a bad impression. Hmm …

Look into Transmile(and POS owning 17% of their shares) … surging up like no one business! Haha. That is MALAYSIAN’s investing mentality. They rush, then they run. OUCH … rush in again, and OUCH … stop buring my butts. I will try to get involve in your games, k? Do they have finger-jogathon? I m good in that as i play WarCraft. LOL

TEH

morning … yesterday there is a band workshop in our school. I missed the time when i was jamming with my gang. Music … not songs. It was hilarious and i like the ways the guys "cool"ly demostrate to the students. Yes, 65% of them play PIANO. Yes, their BORING parents THINK it is appropriate to take up musical instrument, and if u r FEMALE … PIANO is the best! LOL. Errrr … dont ask me, ask the un-educated and stupid society, k? Malaysians … haha … they are funny. I can laugh each time i think of so many stupid parents around me. LOL. Ok OK … let me sip my nescafe … arrrgghhh …

I was talking to my indian student that i do play TABLA … a classical indian instrument. I love drums! LOL. My best friend is an Indian, and i learned Tabla when i was with Visha(1996-1998). She plays classical violin. Nice .. missed those moments!. These instruments belongs to SAI BABA center in KK. They hv Bhajan every Thu nights.

where can i get one in Sabah? hmm … nope, u cant. Will get one in my next trip to KL. Hehe. Or anyone going to India, pls buy me one. I will pay la.

10.30am

I know i m slowly involving in my activities — as long as it is still school-based activities, i can handle with ease. I do know it is difficult to move people here to WORK(they are lazy, lifeless humanoid — some are worse than others, good example one BIG FAT mouth TALK-TALK and do/know NOTHING in REAL! Haha).

Anyway, i m NOT even 60% of what i was doing when i was in KL!! My busiest years were 1994-1999, where everything under the sun, i want to get involve. Too involved, actually. NGOs, DAP and plenty of readings/writings. You do see me in papers(interviews, articles etc etc … oh, btw … my family does not know most of my involvements! Hmmm … to them, till today — i m a lazy, useless, stupid(dont know how to save/earn money, irresponsible(dont care about mom/dad) … contradicting what i m doing! Haha) … you see me on TV(a few times) and putting myself in hot-soup!  Haha. Hmm … interesting to note that the best CAMERA is in my HEAD. It stays inside, significantly change the ways you see things.

But this private between you and I

Touch my body

I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body

All around your waist
Just a little taste
Touch my body
Know you like my curves
C’mon and give me what I deserve
And touch my body

You can put me on you like a brand new white tee
I’ll hug your body tighter than my favorite jeans
I want you to caress me like a tropical breeze
And float away with you in a Caribbean sea

If it’s a camera up in here
Then it’s gonna leave with me when I do

Jaks : 0.70 Ranhill 1.51 and Liondiv 1.21

Arrghh … many are chasing my babes. Shoo-shoo … they belongs to ME. Haha …

With these three counters appreciating in values, i wont lose so much? Hey, get your brain RIGHT. I hv not sold ANY, who are there to say profit or loss? That is lame … your brain is NOT good enough to do trading(or anything much due to your constricted mindset). Haha. Gotcha!

Lionind 1.80 flew off today. Left Lioncor, if i m still interested with LION …

Morning … i woke up 5am to look into the data i hv keyed-in. Some bestbuys, some at discounted rate and some overly-sold. Some will be pressed down further(since the US recession and CPO/commodities down) … others, playing at the speculators ears.

I m still WAITING … where is the SMS i sent to pluto a month ago? Beeeppp … the reception is bad … thought DiGi claimed that they hv widest coverage? Hmm …

Characters

Since education begins at home, many do not hv the privilege to be grown-up in a GOOD CHARACTERS-BUILDING settings. The normal family are too negative — in fear and not much of knowledge of GOOD upbringing of kids! Who am i to speak about this issue since i m a newbies when it comes to parenting?! Hmm … i was reading a book the other day(4am … ), when Mag woke up about 6am and saw me dedicatedly reading "TALKING TO KIDS". Seriously, I bought that book in 1997! It is still kinda new … and NOW is appropriate to acquire some knowledge on HOW to speak to my kids. Normal un-educated parents(some lawyers, teachers, businessmen the worst, engineers … u named it, they DO NOT have knowledge — stupid society! Haha) will NOT read and learn to teach their own kids, especially in this so-called new generation? You see those parents, u can obviously point out how wrong to use the MONKEY-SEE, MONKEY-DO approaches. Simply because their parents, neighbours aunties etc etc brought up their STUPID kids that way, they "think’(with their ass) they should follow suit! LOL

Oppss … time for class.

International Office

For the past two weeks, besides my busy schedule, i was given a new responsibilities by the CEO — to set up the INTERNATIONAL OFFICE. Tomorrow the team of officers from HQ will be here for inspection. Hmm … they will interview me, being the officer in-charge in IS. Haha. Perhaps i need to listen to Konichiwa Bitches song tonight. Oppss … we hv 4 koreans, 2 bangladeshi, 1 indian and 1 pakistani. We will be recruiting more students from Indon. One day, from China and Taiwan. By then, i hope i wont be in-charge in this office. LOL

Ins. Sinaran to organise Sabah High Institute of Learning games? Hmm … sound interesting and guess i will hv my hand full with more and more responsibilities! Not many in this school have experience in organising a large event, especially in sports. This is state level. I know the CEO will look at Leong and Me to carry out the games!! It is sort-of honour … but more WORK!! Arrghhh …

Politic

DAP setting up their office at FOh Sang … but i will NOT get myself involve. I hv too much to munch! But, i will agree to help Christina Liew (of PKR) in NEXT election. For the time being, i wish NOT to be involved. Legally, I m NOT allowed to be involve in politics!

Lose Yourself <— if u had 1 shot or 1 oppourtunity, to capture everything u eva wanted, would u capture it or just let it slip….

2.55pm

3pm is the workshop for BANDS. I dont hv much info regarding this workshop organised by our MUSIC CLUB. I will attend and see if it suit my taste! Looong time no jamming, man. LOL

TEH

Morning … i m in early today — in fact, i was the first staff here. I dont have the keys to come in but i thought the SC having a meeting at 7am this morning. Hmm … perhaps this Friday morning. Anyway, it is always good to be early! I will see things you normally dont see! LOL.

Market Analysis

Sigh — i watched last night game till Masc being sent off. One goal down, one man down … vs MU, no way they could turn the table. So, i was busy key-in the Market Capitalisation of Malaysia’s top 100 companies, also according to their sectors!! That is thousands of data i key-in. My indicator shown that only a few has % gain from last friday’s price compared to 29th FEB. Before and after election effects on companies. Most being pressed down by 5-20%. Counters like Gamuda, Jaks, MRCB … were >30%. Time to buy??!

Hmm … time to ponder on that …

Candle In The Wind <— i dont like Elton J’s songs much but this one is meaningful

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

"Candle in the Wind" is a song with music by Elton John and lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It was originally written and released in 1973, written in honour of Marilyn Monroe, who had died 11 years earlier.

In 1997, John performed a remake of the song as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales. This version of the song was released as a single, and reached number one in many countries, proving a much greater success than the original.

IS students

with Ong Jenn Bing(IS top student - June07) and Tsen Yi Sing(best overall student award). Even tho these kids are above average crying-babies students in our school, they are looong way to learn about EDUCATION. Academically brilliant, with good characters. Yi Sing is also good in sports, a leader in the class and her dad is Mr Tsen, STTSS headmaster!! Hmm … still long way to learn as education is continuous. Keep that up!

Regina Ho : Is the DEGREE needed to be successful?

I hv wanted to write an article about this issue and questions that not many will think about. Is the DEGREE REALLY needed to be successful? Firstly, it depends on HOW you define — success. In the materialistic world, success is always associated with MONEY and POWER. The yardsticks are clear … if u r a MINISTER with POWER to command(and earn as much during your tenure — EAT as much, man. Hold on there … plenty to EAT in corrupted Malaysia, if u know how) … with POWER and MONEY in hands, you will be SEEN as successful. Is that your term as successful? How about human values? How about mental and emotional developments? Or perhaps, GOD? Spiritually faked? Hmm … dont get defensive, i m pointing out your stupidity. That is OK, right?

So, degree will be seen as STATUS — i m XXX degree holder. WHAT? U only got Science Degree from local Uni?! Over again, if u go to church or any gatherings, parents will folk to "discuss" about their educated children! My son just graduated from OZ last month. Wah-liao, aunt XXX … you must be breathing easy now la. WOW. OZ uni … must be extreme good students, they thought.

In real fact, previously in 1980s, if u dont get good STPM results(as u r non-bumi), you may forget about local Uni. Malaya was top50 uni in the world, they wont take u in. You are …eerrr … not good enough, adademically. If your parents is $$-rich to send you to AUZ, then you are the "lucky" one.(in my mind, you are the unfortunate and spoilt brat) Once you grad, you come back, your mom will proudly present you in the gatherings(that is what gathering is for, k? B/day parties, anniversaries etc etc … a platform to COMPARE whose sons/daughters score/done what! LOL). BUT, the real fact is THIS KID is NOT GOOD enough to study STPM(which will make him/her cries). STPM too tough, dont worry … mommy send you to AUZ. Hmm … sound so familiar …

IS your stupid degree make you a HUMAN? Are you one? Are you happier with your degree? Pursuing to Master? Haha. The degree is just a platform to look for a job! If it is merely that, you must be kinda retard too, IMHO(in my humble opinion). WHY? Hmm … whatever you studies/learned in UNI, most probably will NEVER be used in your job! You love MATHS? Haha … wait till you go out into real harsh world, people will dis-regard your LOVE for MATHS(or whatever) … dont be stupid, love the MONEY and POWER. Who cares if you used to love MATHS? LOL.

Your degree is important to be … err … successful? Haha. Says who? Your un-educated parents or church members? Hmm … perhaps, a little mind-opener to some FACTS and TRUTH might scare you off? FEARS? Dont worry, … just wear the NO FEAR cap, you will believe you are NOT in fear! Haha.

Taking a break. Phew! A Love Story <— rabbits laying eggs? Haha. Cant show the ACTS in youtube, lay eggs la. Haha

To Siva : Haha … hey, i made you popular today in the class(130 of them!). Hmm … i shared with them a little story that we do grow-up together and we are successful in our own way. Yup, u r in Shang-international, going places(when are you buying me the ticket to Sydney? Hmm …) and i m still the humble person driving Kancil. Haha. Yup, more importantly, we done our responsibilities and happy doing what we are doing … since young together! friendship of 30+ yrs, man. Kok Kiong too … wonder how he is now. MU beat Liverpool last night. He must be laughing at us. Hmm … send my regards to Shantini and your two gals.

Is our year-end trip to Queensland is on? Mag is expecting the second one. Unless i could get my mom(or in-law) to take care of my new-born, it will be difficult. We shall see, ya. take care …

need to go for a meeting.

Noon … i m dropping by the school to check on KLSE but caught up with Me Lee Y O(the law lecturer where i knew him for 7 yrs now — he is teaching part-time in INTI SABAH too).

Anyway, yesterday was a nice day. I really took a break to be with my family. Went jogging in the morning … and went to Lokkawi Wild-life Park(mini zoo?). Took some pix — and will continue on that on Mon.

Time to go for classes and lunch.

Have a nice weekend.

Superman <— Five For Fighting(FFF)

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird
I’m more than a plane
I’m more than some pretty face beside a train
And it’s not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
‘Bout a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd
But don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me
Well it’s alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy or anything

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me, inside of me
Inside of me, yeah inside of me, inside of me

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for a dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy…
It’s not easy to be me

Nice song about the Man of Steel. I watched Superman I when i was teenager! Yup, such a classic now. LOL. Yup … i put towel and underwear outside(sorry, i didnt hv red one at that moment) … trying to jump and fly! LOL. Monkey sees, monkey will do … haha

Today is a public holiday in Sabah but not for my west-counterparts! More Christians in Sabah(about 60+%) than in any state in Malaysia. BUT, sad to say … only 20%(my 80-20 theory always applicable) of the Christians practice Christianity. Just for your info, most do not even read (lest understand) the Bible … say prayers before they eat/sleep. Most of the time, they forgot the existance of Jesus. But, today … they are sort of FORCE to remember that Jesus died for them! Amen.

Too bad, i can easily expose their hypocrisy … churches? Been in and out of many — at times, i wonder if the take it as a social-gathering or to show their faces in the churches, for the sake of NOT being said they are not devoted? Hmm … HOW MANY Christians do you know that practices the TEN COMMENDMENTS? Praise the Lord, if most of your surrounding Christians do that. Otherwise, they HIDE it well from you blurry views … oooppsss … i shouldnt wake them up? Lets God do the judgement.

I can even easily point out that our Christian Fellowship Club in our school, the advisor many of times forgotten the existance of HIM and does not hv deep understanding of the wordings in Bible. Please read Matthew 6 n 7… one of my many favourite from bible. It related to human values.

Matthew 6 (New International Version)

New International Version (NIV)

Matthew 6

Giving to the Needy

 1"Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

 2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Prayer

 5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

 9"This, then, is how you should pray:
   " ‘Our Father in heaven,
   hallowed be your name,
 10your kingdom come,
   your will be done
      on earth as it is in heaven.
 11Give us today our daily bread.
 12Forgive us our debts,
      as we also have forgiven our debtors.
 13And lead us not into temptation,
   but deliver us from the evil one.^[a]‘ 14For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Fasting

 16"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 17But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Treasures in Heaven

 19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

 22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

 24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Do Not Worry

 25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life^[b]?

 28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 7

Judging Others

 1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

 3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

 6"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

Ask, Seek, Knock

 7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

 9"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow and Wide Gates

 13"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

A Tree and Its Fruit

 15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

 21"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

The Wise and Foolish Builders

 24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

 28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

The Reminiscence of a Market Ignorant

1993 was an important year for the Malaysian financial market. The economy was booming and the Securities Commission was due to be opened later in the year. I was fifteen, totally ignorant about share trading, and this was the year which illustrated to me the painful consequences of when greed and ignorance collide in the capital market. This was the year of “The Union Paper Debacle”.

It started innocently enough. Shares in Union Paper Holdings (U.P) had been rising steadily for the better part of a week and excitement was understandably high. Investors’ spirits, already buoyed by a bullish market were raised even higher by the rapid rise of the U.P counter. Everyone AND their uncle wanted a piece of the action…until everything came to a grinding stop.

One day, U.P which was being traded briskly in the morning was suspended the moment the afternoon session began. Prior to this, there was neither hide nor hair of any news that the counter was in trouble. The news was greeted with disbelief, and then anxiety, finally culminating in paralyzing fear. On that day, the KLSE (now known as Bursa Malaysia) had designated U.P as a cornered share and had used its regulatory powers to declare it a Designated Securities until investigations could be completed.

It is easy to understand why people were scared. This was the time when someone with a yen to invest and balls of steels could become a millionaire overnight. This was a time when investment strategies were non existent and investment decisions were made because ‘someone’s mother’s brother’s uncle’ had a hot tip. People borrowed heavily to invest, often from people no one in their right mind would ever want to owe money to. And they took all that money and sank it into U.P.

The day after U.P was suspended, people were already anxiously lining up before the Exchange opened to enquire about the status of their money. Later in the day, they were crying openly on the trading floor. The day after that, some were on their knees and begging for help from staff.

The report, as I understand, put the chronology of events as such. Due to certain factors, some even suggested politics, the directors of U.P had engaged heavily in short selling their own stocks. This had an effect of sparking a bout of intense speculation. There were suggestions that U.P was buying over certain other holdings; that U.P was itself being bought over by a foreign conglomerate. Whatever the source, the rumours had the effect of starting a feeding frenzy. As the activity intensified around the counter, so too did the price; actually reaching triple digits in the mid hundred per share range I am told. Finally, Bursa Malaysia, stepped in. By the time they were through, the price of the counter had nose-dived. Many speculators found themselves bankrupt at best, having loan sharks on their backs at worst. Stockbroking houses and remisiers, having customers who could not pay, looked at bankruptcy proceedings themselves.

Why did this happen? Firstly, there was a propensity to speculate. Understandably, 1993 was not yet the time of connectivity and high speed communication. The Internet was the realm of technogeek futurists. The only way for a speculator to get share information was to loiter about the Exchange and watch the boards light up. If something happened, it was off to the telephone post haste. Not only was there little or no research done, invariably, miscommunications happened, and what was a suggestion to buy quickly became an over riding need to buy. Never mind that at the time, most speculators were of the lesser educated type, attracted by stories of wealth that happened to certain unverified and unverifiable people. Drawn by such hearsay, such myths began luring the gullible and the dreamers like a shark to blood.

Secondly, there was a lack of investment discipline in the market players at the time. Most punters did not have an overall approach or strategy to their trades. They were of the “Buy on a rumor, sell on news” type. Bought when someone they knew said that a certain counter was good, and sold that counter when the news came that something good or bad had happened to it. Using that method, like being shot at, is almost always too late to dodge by the time you hear the gunshot.

Some speculators actually sold their future up the river. Most of them did this by selling their interests in solid, performing counters to generate capital to buy U.P shares. Some became excessively greedy. After making a profit from U.P, they returned for another foray, and because of their timing, their gains became losses. Some even borrowed heavily to invest, and as a result became bankrupt. The worst fates befell those who actually borrowed from loan sharks.

The first and primary blame, lies squarely at the feet of the Malaysian investor. Had their attitudes been better, had they been more disciplined, more educated and above all, kept in mind the fundamentals of good investing, so many people would not have been as ruined.

It’s Not Over <— Daughtry

I was blown away.
What could I say?
It all seemed to make sense.
You’ve taken away everything,
And I can’t deal with that.
I try to see the good in life,
But good things in life are hard to find.
We’ll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
Well, I’ll try to do it right this time around.

Let’s start over.
I’ll try to do it right this time around.
It’s not over.
‘Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you’re the only one.
It’s not over.

Taken all I could take,
And I cannot wait.
We’re wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on.
Can’t let it bring us down.
My life with you means everything,
So I won’t give up that easily.
I’ll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
‘Cause it’s all misunderstood.
Well, I’ll try to do it right this time around.

Let’s start over.
I’ll try to do it right this time around.
It’s not over.
‘Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you’re the only one.
It’s not over.

We can’t let this get away.
Let it out, let it out.
Don’t get caught up in yourself.
Let it out.

Let’s start over.
I’ll try to do it right this time around.
It’s not over.
‘Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you’re the only one.
It’s not over.

Let’s start over.
It’s not over, yeah…
This love is killing me,
But you’re the only one.
It’s not over.

Parenting - Hens breed chicks

I was ’scolding’ my year1 for making so much of noise this morning(while this song playing in my mind! LOL). Teaching them "Factor Theorem" could be too boring for me — so, i entertained myself with music in my head and shake these kids(unfortunate to say, many are rich-money-wise) brains! Hmm … i dont take pleasure in ’scolding’ others, but i do(like Dr House) tell TRUTH to them which they tried to HIDE! Hmm … so, i shared with them "RISK" … many adults living in FEAR as they do not like RISK.

Run…run, wailed the headless chicken. The tsunami is coming!! What the fuck is tsunami, you damn shit? "Just run …. runnnnn … no time to ask stupid questions, u idiots!" Haha … i like watching Chicken Little! LOL. There are many in my surrounding …

Parents, who are UNEDUCATED(in terms of BLOOD DONATION) will discourage their kids NEVER to donate blood. I can sing their pathetic "chicken song"(BTW, have you heard of the song before? Cute, u know ..). One of my student(identity preserved to save her from being killed by her father! LOL) said her father does not allow her to donate. In fact, her father reasoned that she needs blood herself! She does not have enough blood!" Haha … she failed to convinced her dad — but her desire to donate(Mr Teh will call me chicken if i dont donate, u know! Haha) gets over her and she … err … donated! Shhh … her uneducated dad NOT supposed to know! Talking about parenting … LOL

Blood Donation

With such a cute dracu-lah, i wont mind being sucked! LOL

these items being used by the officers-on-duty

the two ‘leaders’ in our school. The gentleman is leader in Intensive Science, and the lady is Yi Ki, my rotaract club president! Always being called by me … Yi Ki, do this, hear this … err … think about this! LOL

I lost counts how many times i donated blood. In and out of such blood-donation campaign, i m so used to the blah-blah. Words from chickens who never dare to donate, words from some show-off who donated, words from who know what donation blood is all about, words from DUCKS and from EAGLES. Haha … i shared with my students ducks vs eagle and the next day, i got a bad-mouth comment! He said if i called them ducks, my mouth need to be shut! Oh yah … mulut celepar? Luckily i cant understand Malay! LOL. BTW, i m the worst lecturer, according to him/her. Hmm … i think many might not agree-la. Apa cakap? Wonder if he/she still viewing my pages or else i can easily call him/her names again! LOL. Funny … i never mention any names!! LOL

Let me share with you Ducks vs Eagles
