2008 is a year full of sorrows. A lot of people are suffering from the Economic Tsunami caused by the losing credibility of the financial system in the U.S due to the sub-prime crisis. The negative effect of this man made disaster is likely to continue in the coming few years. Fortunately many countries are showing positive attitude to work among all of them together to overcome this problem as soon as possible. I hope the level of confidence will restore next year, which is year 2009. I wish everyone a good year of 2009!
2008年，对于人类，尤其中国人来说，是蛮多灾多难的。最重要的世界大事莫过于起源于美国次贷危机的金融海啸了！至今各国的对金融海啸的反应都非常的积极，我觉得主要是信心崩塌的问题。相信当每个人的信心渐渐恢复了之后，全球将重新迅速迈入了又一个欣欣向荣的阶段。最重要的是各国都能把这次的事件当作反面教材，牢牢记得，如此错误千万莫重犯！最后，期待经济能于2009年复苏！人人皆能分得糖果！

中国能拯救世界经济？
早上听了爱FM电台交谈节目，有一位听众致电进来说他心里所选的2008年的汉字是“好”字。他解释了为什么选了这个字。其中一个原因让我忍俊不禁，他说，这次的金融海啸促使了中国的崛起！天啊，他不知道中国许许多多的中小型企业正面临倒闭潮吗？你不需亲临当地，只需要上网看看些数据就知道了！
一个简单的问题，如果没了美国市场，一大堆的中国制造货品要卖给谁？一直以来中国就是在赚美国钱啊！美国人这些年来享受着价廉物美的货品，生活素质一流，这也拜有中国这个多数货品低端制造商所赐。中国的工人们就不断的被剥削，企业也只得到货品卖出的些许好处而已！
现在美国人深陷次贷风暴的困境，也无余钱向中国人买货了。像中国这种超依赖美国市场的国家必无法幸免于今次的金融海啸！单是处理一大批失业民工就足以让共产党政府头痛了！我相信印度这个信息工业靠美国吃饭的国家都能比中国容易避过这次的灾难！
把大批的财富以各种管道还给人民才是大道理啊！这是中国政府所迫切需做的！富裕的人民增加了，他们就必会消费，到时整个大市场必将建立起来，足以容纳所有的商品。而且中国政府必要加大力度改革制造业，别在做人利密集的工业了，做些创新工业方实际！蓬勃的创新工业会带来促使研究风气盛行，这样下去中国将有一天能成为科技大国！科技才是硬道理！

Production
Finally my WBI adapter for Kenan (a finance system built by Accenture) has gone for PRODUCTION last week. I thought after that everything will be fine. However...
I hit the Tuxedo connection error again. The murderer is the Tuxedo client library again! This time i migrated the jar version that i edited and put to the one at production server. It did not work! I was panicked!
Luckily i deployed the system earlier than the agreed time and i discovered the problem earlier. I still had the whole night trying to fix the problem. I went back and worked from home until 1 something in the morning. Finally i got the solution which is i have to set TUXEDO relevant environment variables at either my startup script or my user's profile (.profile). (It's AIX machine)
I went to bed after that. 4am in the morning i was awakened by a call from maxis staff to stand by for testing before production. What frustrated me most is a lot of tables and database objects are not granted with enough privileges. This problem has been troubling me till the morning.
Also, a lot of late requirements came out only after the users found out some data integrity issue. That even worsened the problem.
The fight continued until 5 something in the late afternoon next day. The client decided to switch to a backup plan. Thus the production was announced failed.

聽風水師黃煒倫講座後感言
今天有幸出席了新加坡风水师黄炜伦老师的讲座。从家里出发前打了电话给主办单位，得知是免费的，怎知到场了后才知道要付九十八元！没办法，都到场了没理由空手而回，唯有照付了。那些负责招待的小姐也蛮美的。
讲座迟了四十分钟才开始，让人叹息！这是华人的陋习吗？必须改啊！
黄老师的演讲分成四个部分：
老师说他师承“凤阳”，我上网搜索，有关资讯少得可怜！然后搜索了其书，同样的不得其果。是不是老师平常太低调了呢？他说他在台湾待过十五年啊！他于讲座中痛批许多一知半解的风水师胡乱服务人们而不知会随时会导致人们家破人亡！他说真正的风水师是不传外的，因为人心难测啊！
讲座迟了四十分钟才开始，让人叹息！这是华人的陋习吗？必须改啊！
黄老师的演讲分成四个部分：
- 如何正确的看待风水。很多人认为风水能帮人发达，其实非也。相反的，风水能帮人调整健康，使家庭和谐，让人做事无后顾之忧，专注在事业上，赚钱能力亦因此而提高。我是蛮赞同此说法。黄老师说人分五种命。如出生于富贵之家，八字再差亦不会差到哪里去。如出生与贫穷家庭，则有好八字亦不足矣，因为机会会因环境而减少啊。黄老师强调看相要看面相配合身体相方准。
- 在第二讲，老师说到脸型与身体对命运非常重要。老师亦说贫穷阶级人士莫慌，只要入对行就能摆脱困境！老师也提供了一些“提示”。2009年凡住家大门向北、东、西有必要粘上五个铜钱。那五个铜钱必须直排。又说到他曾于2001年出版了“黄炜伦传奇”，未卜先知道出了许多近年来发生的事。例子是马华公会的大乱。此事我不甚了解，有待考证。
- 第三讲是高潮，老师抽签选出了五位幸运儿为他们现场算命！老师作了很多的“假设”然后问当事人对不对。当事人反应说明老师说得蛮准。当然这很难说，有些人可能不想透露太多私事于大众而点头称对。老师也说得蛮详细的，例如说其中一位女当事人过去有两位男友等等。还蛮神奇啊！
- 第四节老师大胆的猜测2009年欧元区或欧盟会分裂！而马来西亚南北皆不利！老师又一一道出了何处该从事什么事业及运势到何时等等。
老师说他师承“凤阳”，我上网搜索，有关资讯少得可怜！然后搜索了其书，同样的不得其果。是不是老师平常太低调了呢？他说他在台湾待过十五年啊！他于讲座中痛批许多一知半解的风水师胡乱服务人们而不知会随时会导致人们家破人亡！他说真正的风水师是不传外的，因为人心难测啊！

印度和巴基斯坦的恩恩怨怨
从印度友人口中得知：印度和巴基斯坦的恩怨其实是可以避免的。
当初，有一批先贤为印度争取独立，而最为人所知的就是印度国父圣雄-甘地。有一位独立运动领袖向甘地建议于印度国内设立一块地以安顿人数不少的穆斯林。听印度友人所说，甘地很爽口就答应了要求。不仅如此，他还建议那片用来安置穆斯林的土地脱离印度，以成为另一个国家。这有点不可思议，有人也不知其因。而这个冒昧的决定为印巴两国带来了一场又一场地灾难！
甘地因此而命丧兴都极端份子之手！
当然甘地的死也不仅仅因为他允许建立了一个穆斯林国家。另有一个原因是因为甘地并没极力劝说英国殖民当局放了另外一个独立运动英雄-巴加星格！当时巴加星格因策划了几宗争对英国殖民当局的暴力行动而被捕入狱，并于独立前夕被处决! 甘地的见死不救也触怒了一堆人。
印巴两国因没好好处理卡斯米尔省的领土问题而互相攻击，加上两国的宗教因素，积怨也越来越深。这次的孟买袭击事件更有可能导致两国开战！
希望这两国不要乱来。他们该合作，把枪口对准穆斯林极端恐怖份子！这批人已成为全球公敌！该诛也！

穆斯林恐怖主义抬头！！！
印度大城市孟买发生了穆斯林恐怖分子持枪袭击事件，至今已有上百人死亡。这批穆斯林恐怖分子以外国人尤其是英美国人及犹太人为目标，就地枪决这些外国人，行为令人发指。
这是自2002年印尼巴里岛发生大爆炸以来最严重的穆斯林恐怖主义破坏行动。当年的爆炸案造成大批英美澳“白人”死亡，巧合的是，幕后主导人已于近日内为印尼政府所处决。
自踏入新世纪以来，恐怖主义活动就层出不穷，许多国家都深受其害。首当其冲就有美国，其于2001年9月11日受阿尔。卡伊达组织飞机骑劫攻击，地标世贸大厦于瞬间化为瓦砾，许多美国内外精英在当日殉难，幸存者也不好受，911成为了他们的一生的梦魇。一波未平、一波又起。只过了数个月，2002年印尼的兴都教旅游胜地-巴里岛成了穆斯林恐怖主义的下一个目标。当晚他们“行刑”了所谓的堕落基督教“白人”。之后数年，虽然各国政府皆奋力打击恐怖主义，但恐怖主义防不胜防、神出鬼没，零星攻击依然可闻，可谓各国政府的头号大敌！
所幸马来西亚尚未为穆斯林恐怖主义所攻击，想必是这里穆斯林居多，国家在立场上又倾向于中立，所以方能幸免。邻国新加坡一直以来立场亲美，所以数次险遭穆斯林恐怖分子攻击。但恐怖分子的精心策划都未能成事，往往于行动前就被新国政府所侦破，使新国幸免于难。
中国也有疆独势力，这些维吾尔人取得国际穆斯林恐怖组织的同情，从中得到了不同的恐怖活动训练，又不停改善并强化思想教育，势力有增无减，中国政府不得不防。如果让这些人得偿心愿，建立新疆独立国，那将会让许许多多穆斯林恐怖组织感到鼓舞，更期望靠武装努力实现目标。
为何穆斯林恐怖组织越来越壮大？皆因他们利用各国的国内矛盾来取得利益。例如印度国内就不不时为宗教矛盾纠纷所困。其政府又贪污腐败，无力处理各类重大课题，是以某些地区就成了恐怖主义的温床。精力充沛的年轻人见证了许多的社会不公，理想化为愤恨，在受了恐怖分子的思想宣传下，更易于被洗脑、利用，甚至轻易奉献宝贵生命，添了又一个蠢蛋的故事。恐怖分子头头就躲在窝里继续策划，然后又是另一批的人走向“天国”。穆斯林的愚蠢与野蛮何时方能结束？穆斯林又要危害世界到何时？
总之，世界各国因该合作，把穆斯林恐怖主义列成与金融海啸危机一样的重要，莫让穆斯林极端恐怖分子继续危害良民，四处破坏，赶尽杀绝这批邪魔。人人也许学会和谐相处，富人该把赚钱机会让给别人，壮大中产阶级，稳定社会架构，那么穆斯林恐怖主义才不会有生存空间。

Mahathir's greatest contribution to Malaysia
Mahathir actually had done something good to the nation. He had limited the power of Sultans and Kings. This is extremely important as nobody in this world should be entitled for privileges. Imagine if these people abuse their right. What will happen? Justice will not prevail!
Thanks to Mahathir for this contribution.
I hope eventually in this world, we will no longer see something like queen, king blar blar. That is nonsense. Why shall we be honored when some other 'human' grant us some 'order' or 'award'? If we deserve it then we will know. We do not need somebody out there to acknowledge our contribution. Sun Yat Sen of China made a good move. Instead of trying to bring in Constitutional Monarchy, he made the country as the Republic! Yes, everyone deserves equal right!!!

Free RPK candle light gathering
I attended the candlelight gathering at the field in front of Amcorp Mall. I was late. My friend introduced me to RPK's wife Marianna Lee. It was raining so the gathering was called off. Some of us went to AMW for chit chat. It was great. I came to know that quite a number of people out there are keen to see RPK to be freed! He should not be detained under ISA law. ISA law should be used to stop terrorism! The government has abused it. I do not think RPK will organise a team of armed forces to overturn the government! He just wants to send some murderers out there to the jail! These murderers deserve to be imprisoned or even hung!
One guy told us he always puts on his Free RPK shirt regardless of where he goes. He said sometimes he will see people showing thumbs up to him! He has a great courage as not many of us dare to do that. Perhaps if everyone of us does that, the now rotten government will know it will have to go on to the right track. It will know it should stop producing rubbish. It will know every Malaysians contribute to this nation and every Malaysians deserve an equal right.

余光中讲座
今午出席了著名诗人兼散文家余光中先生的讲座。题目是“当中文遇上英文”。
结论是，语言是有机的，它会随着与各文化语言的交融而改变。最大的改变往往是语言的词汇随着大量借用外语而增加了。所以余老师断定语言难纯。如英语就混杂了拉丁语、法语等等。
当中文碰上了新鲜的英语词汇，人们往往都给予音译，就例如五四运动时期民主并不为“民主”，而是“德谟克拉西”，从而渐渐演变了今日的“民主”。这个翻译个人认为非常好。希望有些音译的词汇将来都有个很贴切的译名。
中文受外语影响也非近代之事。其就经历了蒙化、满化、梵化的阶段。今日我们用了许许多多的外来词汇而往往不自觉，这就是这些外来词长期融合的结果。
可惜余教授忘了提日本外来词为近代中文的贡献。例子如：科学、俱乐部、社会等等。
余老师亦说到今日英语与古代英语已大大不同。在英语系国家，莎士比亚的作品并非人人皆能读懂。而中文虽历经数千年，唯变化不大，所以今日我们还看得懂古时的巨作，如三国演义等等。当然，现代人皆受白话文教育，对了解以文言文形势书写的古书是一种障碍，唯我想还能了解五六吧。那个门槛并非太高，多读就行了。无需受系统训练。
余教授还有说了好多。总之翻译非易事，要得其型并留其意是相当难的。语言背后是无数的文化精粹。这并非另一种语言所能精确表达的。所以，要做“取舍”。要“妥协”。教授说有必要时时刻刻检讨翻译作品。
余教授感慨现今人人都弃文言文而不顾。但是文言文还是与现代日常中文离不开关系。成语就是一个很好的例子。成语就是文言文！
余教授并不反对西化。他以徐志摩的诗做例子。西化得体会增加诗的意境，制造美感。唯西化过度就会毁了中文！他说，写中文有必要写得像中文！一个优雅像样的中文！
感谢今日有此良机，能闻得余教授之课，获益不浅。望余教授老而不衰，继续为中文做出贡献！
当今越来越多新外来词汇需要有相符的正确中文译名！在人们还没习惯直接用外来语来表达之前，而使相关中文译名及时普及是非常重要的！

Should i change job again?
Recently i was sent to a Telco company to service them. I will have to be based at there for a long time. I was very shocked on the first day that i need to take over a colleague's task that is in testing phase and he is going to fly off 3 days later! I did not expect something like this could happen. It should be well arranged in such a big corporation. They could not just get some one new in and expected the him to fix problems asap! A proper hand over must be done and the process should be given a proper timeline but not to make it like cooking instant noodle! The project could fail due to something like this! If i need work have a few late nights i do not mind but the quality will not be guaranteed! That is for sure, that's happening to everyone especially when a project has to be completed in hurry. Normally the project would end up being delayed due to lots and lots of bugs! How can you give birth to a baby in 9 months???
What most frustrated me was, last Friday 4 somthing the client's manager showed some problesm to me and expected me to fix it! I told him directly that i did not really have the idea of what he was trying to explain to me of the problem! Well, that is ok. I can liase with my colleague back in The Philipines. But, this manager kept calling and asking the status. I was frustrated. My sickness nearly came back again! He made me very tension. He should have trusted me more! If things continue this way i would consider to leave this big corporation!
I am looking forward to further my Master study and focus on research & development field. I believe that is something i want. Wish me good luck!

別開生面的婚宴
上个星期六晚，我见证了一场别出心裁的婚宴。
婚宴以自由餐形式来进行。老一辈可能认为这怎么行吧？因为自由餐于人有点寒酸的感觉，不好看。可是，那场自由餐婚宴盛会并不难看，反而简单又隆重。场面布置得非常典雅高贵，令客人有如处身在热带丛林内用餐。那种感觉非常的和谐，可能就是“天人合一”的境界吧？呵呵。
婚宴特别之处在于，有一个小小的婚礼见证仪式。新郎及新娘站在会场中心处，说了好多令人感动的话。由于新娘是辅导员，所以说得一口非常标准之华语，表达能力更不用多说。新郎则看得出不善发言。这我很早救知了，只因我与新郎共事了一段日子，所以对其个性我还蛮了解。新娘的同事也一个接一个上台发言，个个也是说话高手，在场的宾客获益不浅啊，呵呵。
新郎新娘还请来了一支乐队为宾客们献唱，他们的素质都很好，大家吃饭时也不会闷，有悦耳的歌声陪伴。
食物方面当然及不上普通婚宴酒席的菜式。可是我很满意，因为我吃得刚刚好，不会有太胀的感觉。我对普通婚宴酒席的铺张与浪费早就不认同了，所以自由餐正和我意。
有机会跟新郎说说几句，他说，“你就参考参考吧！”。呵呵。
特别感谢新郎这次邀请我去他的这场婚宴，我得以大开眼界。我认为，这场婚宴偏重于西式。这很好，值得鼓励，我们该不时融合中西的优点，来创造出新文化，为我们的原有文化锦上添花，增添活力。

中国沦丧了！
毒奶粉事件，大大的打击了中国产品在国际上的声誉。
如果我身为中国国民，我会感到羞愧。丑陋的商人为了利益，竟可不顾下一代的健康，损人利己。如此短视，中国还有未来吗？如我公公仍然在世（中国福建永春出生），必为此深感痛心！他们那一代，对中国是抱着多么大的期望啊！奥运办得轰轰烈烈又怎样，国际声誉此时已破坏殆尽！层出不穷的毒产品事件传出已久，一宗又一宗不时发生，当局反应迟钝极了，难道现任政府已不能有效的治理国家了吗？
今年中国发生的任何一件大事，除了四川地震的拯救工作值得称赞外，对其他事件的表现简直让人失望，在在显示了现任领导层办事能力的不足。
我非中国国民，我只是代表我祖父说说话。我觉得当局该痛下决心“变法”了。虽然看得出当局已在改革政治体制当中，但进展缓慢，只怕赶不上快速的经济进展。一个十三亿人的大国，就由七个人决定政策，这当真可行吗？就不能让“国会”（人民代表大会）来讨论并通过政策？是时候下放权力了！
地方势力似乎很大，说到底还是跟体制有关，当局有必要削弱地方势力以确保中央决策能贯彻全国，始终保持宗旨。我所知不多，希望当局已有相关答案。
官商勾结，亦是体制问题，官联公司能去多少是多少，目的是让官员好好做官，商人好好经商。任何商业决策、程序都需透明化，然后给予媒体更多的权力去追踪、报道，形成一种监督力，政府也不用这么头疼了。
全民教育更须强化！每个人都需学习儒家经商精神。当局能拿一些二十世纪南洋华侨的经商故事为教材，列为典范。这些先贤都是经典的儒商，个个强调诚信，个个始终贯彻儒家精神！例子就有陈嘉庚、李光前等人。这些人当年都是先从中国走出去成功经商的一批！他们以儒家精神经商的经验对目前商业至上的中国是难能可贵的！商业之上已让人伦尽失，每个人往“钱”看，致富成了人生最大目标，颠倒了是非！儒家精神将恢复中华文明根本，唤醒这些迷失的人们的儒家根本，让社会健康发展。须知，社会是会因道德堕落而失序的。社会不稳，共产党也别想长久执政。
幸好共产党当局不掩盖事实，让媒体据实报道，这令人欣慰。海外媒体也会因此而尊重共产党，而非一面抨击。
中国大陆的宝贵传统文化、书籍等皆于文革时惨遭蹂躏、毁于一旦、地位跌至不值一文。人民丧失了精神依靠，行事没指导。共产党犯了如此滔天大错，就有责任把错误纠正过来。事事以民为主是永不会错的，历史已证实之！如此政权才会长久！领导人也会流芳百世！个个官员、商人以民为主将会形成健康的利益圈，而国家实力才会百尺竿头、更进一步！
望全体中国人民加油。为了爷爷！拼吧！
如果我身为中国国民，我会感到羞愧。丑陋的商人为了利益，竟可不顾下一代的健康，损人利己。如此短视，中国还有未来吗？如我公公仍然在世（中国福建永春出生），必为此深感痛心！他们那一代，对中国是抱着多么大的期望啊！奥运办得轰轰烈烈又怎样，国际声誉此时已破坏殆尽！层出不穷的毒产品事件传出已久，一宗又一宗不时发生，当局反应迟钝极了，难道现任政府已不能有效的治理国家了吗？
今年中国发生的任何一件大事，除了四川地震的拯救工作值得称赞外，对其他事件的表现简直让人失望，在在显示了现任领导层办事能力的不足。
我非中国国民，我只是代表我祖父说说话。我觉得当局该痛下决心“变法”了。虽然看得出当局已在改革政治体制当中，但进展缓慢，只怕赶不上快速的经济进展。一个十三亿人的大国，就由七个人决定政策，这当真可行吗？就不能让“国会”（人民代表大会）来讨论并通过政策？是时候下放权力了！
地方势力似乎很大，说到底还是跟体制有关，当局有必要削弱地方势力以确保中央决策能贯彻全国，始终保持宗旨。我所知不多，希望当局已有相关答案。
官商勾结，亦是体制问题，官联公司能去多少是多少，目的是让官员好好做官，商人好好经商。任何商业决策、程序都需透明化，然后给予媒体更多的权力去追踪、报道，形成一种监督力，政府也不用这么头疼了。
全民教育更须强化！每个人都需学习儒家经商精神。当局能拿一些二十世纪南洋华侨的经商故事为教材，列为典范。这些先贤都是经典的儒商，个个强调诚信，个个始终贯彻儒家精神！例子就有陈嘉庚、李光前等人。这些人当年都是先从中国走出去成功经商的一批！他们以儒家精神经商的经验对目前商业至上的中国是难能可贵的！商业之上已让人伦尽失，每个人往“钱”看，致富成了人生最大目标，颠倒了是非！儒家精神将恢复中华文明根本，唤醒这些迷失的人们的儒家根本，让社会健康发展。须知，社会是会因道德堕落而失序的。社会不稳，共产党也别想长久执政。
幸好共产党当局不掩盖事实，让媒体据实报道，这令人欣慰。海外媒体也会因此而尊重共产党，而非一面抨击。
中国大陆的宝贵传统文化、书籍等皆于文革时惨遭蹂躏、毁于一旦、地位跌至不值一文。人民丧失了精神依靠，行事没指导。共产党犯了如此滔天大错，就有责任把错误纠正过来。事事以民为主是永不会错的，历史已证实之！如此政权才会长久！领导人也会流芳百世！个个官员、商人以民为主将会形成健康的利益圈，而国家实力才会百尺竿头、更进一步！

human can migrate to South Pole?
The world's largest lake lies beneath the South Pole mainland. Not only one, but many others. Also, you can find streams or rivers there too!
Based on all these facts, people start to wonder if there are other civilizations or other creatures?
In the 16th century, a Turkey general drew a map. Nobody knew what land he drew about. After some time scientists discovered that it was actually a bird-eye's view map of the South Pole mainland! Why was he able to draw the map? Some more it is a bird-eye's view map! It is beyond our imagination. Does it mean this general flew over the South Pole mainland? If so, how did he do that?
In additional, there are a lot of enormous creatures living at the South Pole sea! A plesiosaur body was found on 11th October 2006 near one of the South Pole islands! This creature is very much like the frequent spotted Nice water creature.
Below are some interesting stuff:
In year 1962, a Soviet submarine found a strange man-fish creature boy in pacific near Cuba. The boy told them there are creatures like him living below the pacific ocean.
The Sumerian worshiped a half man fish creature.
On 1930, a bird mouth man was found in Estonia.
On 1825 & 1972, during a military exercise, the army suddenly noticed a USO(unidentified sea object) bursting out from the thick iceberg at 7 degree! At that moment every machine & electronic devices stopped operating for sometime! It appeared that that phenomenon had caused a blackout to the surrounding area!
In Africa, green skin tribe were found! Yes you are right, they have green skin! They claimed that their ancestors are from Uranus. They worshiped a triphibian creature! It can live in water, on land and it can fly!
There are so many things out there for us to find out! My respect to all scientists and archeologists! I wish one day i may contribute as well. I want to join you guys.

Pyramid In Eygpt
Wow! I just discovered some interesting facts about the 3 pyramids at Giza.
They are actually corresponding to The Orion and Nel River is actually corresponding to The Orion Galaxy.
The distance among the 3 pyramids are according to the golden proportional rule: 1 to 1.168!!
The pyramid is also a small model that simulates our solar system and earth!
The pyramid is built at an angle of 52 degree. It means, if you are standing on the peak of the Pyramid, you would not know there is strong wind at below.
Bear in mind that The Pyramid in Egypt is located at the north attitude at 30 degree, which is where a lot of great discovering of ancient civilization were found!
Also, on the Mars, there is a human face very much similar to The Sphinx and there are 5 things very much like the Pyramid. There are more mathematical facts about that. I can not list them one by one here now due to time constraints. You can find out yourselves.
More to find out!

林相如先生談八字
今天林相如先生在南洋商报的专栏文章没那么废了。他平常的文章对我来说简直是欺骗大众，鬼话连篇，说了等于没说，恕我时间有限，不能一一举例，但我非口说无凭，乱乱放炮。
今天他谈了命理学的作用。他举了个很好的例子，我在这里大概的简短说明。 他说命理学就像气象学，气象学提供有用的资讯如刮风、打雷等等于渔夫们，但此学并不能告诉渔夫今天能有多少鱼获及等等。命理学亦如是。它能告诉人们高潮及低潮期，至于人们能不能于高潮期顺流而上则看他们的造化了。同样的，如没必要，就别在低潮期尝试逆流而上，以防得不偿失。
换句话说，高潮期勇往直前，低潮期韬光养晦，能让我们有个较顺利的人生。
他也大概透露了八字计算法，皮毛而已。就是从八字中看五行。从五行的相生相克论，再配合个人每个八字的五行属性来作出这个人的一生命途大概如何。他举了一个“衰”人为例以进一步解说。
我非第一次听到此说法，而我一向来都是非常认同此说法的。
我希望林先生日后能继续写些诸如此类的好文章，而不是些废话，否则则有损名声矣。

Japanese Invansion to Malaya during WW2
Just read an article interviewing an old man who managed to survive during Japanese Occupation in Malay during World War 2.
There is a part where he said there were a lot of Japanese businessmen back then. They turned into some major or sergeant after Japanese army conquered Malaya. That is their real identity.
This reminds me one story that my English tuition teacher told us before: When he was still a kid, there was this Japanese old businessman neighbor who always gave him & his fellow playmates sweets. To them, he was just another kind old man. The kids were joyful. They liked this old guy very much. In the end, only they found out his real identity is spy. He did not say or he was not sure of what did the guy do as a spy tough. The memory that he got was the old guy was good. Like any grandpa that me and you can see anywhere on each day.
At the end of the article, Mr Wu, the interviewer, criticized the militarism mindset that is still haunting the Japanese. They never really feel "they are wrong" about the occupation. This kind of thought is scary. My personal opinion, those who were involved in those evil deed should sincerely apologize to their victims and start treasure the harmony from today onwards. After all, it is a value of what the Japanese Buddhism Group Sokko Kadai have been promoting.
Japan will win more respect from its surrounding neighbours if they really sincerely apologize.

Back to old tech? Oh no...
So today, i met Lim KY. He is a project manager. He is currently handling a bank system project team. I am not sure what system is that but i was told it is already a phase 2 project. I may take part in the UAT session of phase 2, and phase 3 too.
After bidding farewell to him, i asked one of the team members what technology they use. Unfortunately they are using those obsolete technologies such as Java 1.4, EJB2, Struts 1.2 and so on. Oh no, not even using Object Relational Framework or Dependency Injection Framework. I need to dig deeper in those areas. I want to try out JBoss Seam, more Spring, EJB3, more Hibernate and so on. I need to sharpen those. Now my dream will likely break. I know it is normal for a client like bank to use those technology they are comfortable with because they are proved to be stable. So i can not blame. I am wondering if i shall talk to my manager to avoid working on something i do not like.
I do not know how long will the phase 3 last. I just know that working in this project will not offer me a chance to travel to oversea. That is what i am looking forward to: to communicate with oversea colleagus or clients, i want to improve on that part. Furthermore now i am going to use the obsolete technologies. It is a double blow to me. I do not want to waste my time doing things i do not like. I want to achive my goal as soon as possible before i get married. As you guys out there know, normally man will lose lots of freedom after getting married. Sorry, i should say this phenomenon is common in Asia.
Wish me good luck.

Are we from Mars?
The human face on Mars. The pyramid on Mars. The water on Mars.
Is there any life on Mars?
Can human move to Mars?
Are we actually from Mars? As there are so many ancient legends telling us the 'spaceship' story?
If we are from Mars, then what had actually happened to Mars back then? Why our Mars ancestors chose to move to Earth? Where did water on Earth come from?
Is there really an ocean beneath the Mars land surface? Will we discover life in there?
Those Mars machines were washed by rains? Why they look so clean all the time? What has caused this? The rain?

bomber & cowboy on the moon?
Neil Armstrong saw many footsteps on the moon when he made his first step on the it. this particular part was removed by NASA from the video because it was too shocking! Who made those footprints? Years later those moon astronauts claimed that they saw all kinds of weird things outside the spaceship while on their way to moon. What are those weird things? They claimed that they were being trailed by some unidentified flying object. What was that? Fortunately they managed to make it to the moon. Nevertheless, there is something shocking, a Soviet satellite saw an American WW2 bomber on the moon before! Sometimes it was there and sometimes it disappeared suddenly! Besides that, at a different time, a dead cowboy was also seen on the moon! Did all these 'earth' things travel through some special 'tunnel' ???
In spite of that, a Soviet spaceship was reported vanish before during the space competition between Soviet and the U.S period. Before the spaceship was gone, the crew said the spaceship was surrounded by some kind of 'light'. Interesting isn't it?
When can we know all the truth? Are we really being supervised by some unidentified being? If so, why did they allow The U.S spaceship to land on the moon? Does NASA ever land on the moon? or it was just a show so that the news can be seen as a victory over Soviet?
Please let us know the truth. It something that every human has to know.

Great conversation with friends
I had a gathering with my university mates at 1U on 17 September 2008, which is a holiday in Selangor. We had a great conversation.
We talked about religions. One of my friend, who is a Methodist, said his Christian fellow will get angry every time he questions on the logic of certain Christian teachings. For example, if there are only heaven and hell for human to go to after death, then the number of being in hell is surely greater than the number of being in heaven as the rule to the heaven is so strict. Then the power of devil who governs the hell is surely greater than 'god' who governs the heaven. That is only one of many relevant topics that we discussed. Of course we did not only talk about Christian, but other religions as well.
We concluded that religion is a system. A system will surely have logical flaws. Of course we do not know if there is something that is beyond the logical flaw but for certain if based on the current knowledge we have, nothing can really explain the logical flaw of every religion or every system. It is a universal law.

Ugly King Of Thai
The King of Thai is another ugly one. I really think he explains why the monarchy system should be abolished. Monarchy emphasizes "privilege" be given to a minority group - the noble one who is actually a normal human like us.
In the past 60 years the military "coup de tat" always happened with the secret approval from the King of Thai whenever his great wealth is being threatened by the government then. Just check the history of the "coup de tat" that happened in year 1981, 1985 and 2006. It is all about money. The government and King of Thai are just playing games and the people who live in poverty are the one suffering the most.
The current biggest opposition party in Thailand very much support the idea to increase service tax, to reduce the cost that is meant to help people living in poverty and to set a limit to suppress the working salary of the labor. You know what? The king of Thailand supports this idea!!! He is "indeed" a good king!!!
In short, i think, nobody should enjoy the so called 'privilege'. The royalties are born as normal human too. They are like us. Nothing different. So, please please everyone of you help abolish the monarchy system. First of all, let us pull down the one in British first. That one really makes me sicked.

老马又开炮
http://test.chedet.com/che_det/2008/09/malay-unity-and-malaysian-unit.html
老马又要挑起事端了，这次要利用部分史实来强化他种族主义的论点。
嫌国内政局还不够乱吗？股市已跌接近1000点了。
说华人和印度人不愿接受同化，简直是在放屁！我想多数大马华人印度人都很乐意学习马来语。很明显的，我们的阻碍来自两点：
1）同化包括：被强逼皈依伊斯兰教、奉行马来人文化和舍弃华人姓名。
2）经济上：政府又处处以保护马来人利益为借口来限制别族的赚钱或升学机会。
这两点，都是问题的根源！都是造成大马人民不能团结的祸首！
还有，挑起事端地人总是那些印裔穆斯林（在大马我们称他们为嘛嘛），他们就是那些很会经商的一群。当年他们看到自己的商业利益逐步被华人侵蚀所以才认自己为马来人并强调需打击其他的种族。
这是有根据的！因为佩特拉亦有撰文透露这点。大家去找找看。

unknown histories about Singapore
Watched a documentary that talks about some unknown history Singapore.
When Singapore was expelled from Malaysia, Lee Kuan Yew was crying after hearing the news from radio. He was sad because he did not have a clear direction for his 'child', which is Singapore to go for. Nobody looked good on Singapore at that time as it was only a third world country port without any natural resources. Back then, it was really a tough job for Lee Kuan Yew.
At that time there were 3 isolated countries in the world: Israel, Republic of China(Taiwan) & South Africa. Therefore Lee Kuan Yew seeked for help from the RoC as he was a strong anti-communist politician. His relationship with the then President of RoC 'Jiang Jing Guo' was close. The good relationship started even before Jiang Jing Guo took over the president seat. Lee Kuan Yew visited RoC very frequently then. The rate was about once or more than once per year. Each time Jiang Jing Guo treated him as special guest.
Lee Kuan Yew's visit to Taiwan was not of no intention. Political system wise he adopted a lot of RoC's ideas as RoC is one of the Repulic in Asia then. RoC even helped build Singapore military system by sending a few good officers who later became important military officers in Singapore. Of course the help was not without any reward. Singapore helped RoC to purchase weapons and did a number of kind of sensitive things. It also became the 'international representative' of RoC as RoC's diplomacy was defeated badly by People's Republic of China then. RoC would always get Singapore's help to transmit messages to the worldwide.
Singapore's idea of welcoming talented people from worldwide are actually originated from RoC as well. In year 1985 Singapore was facing serious economic growth problem. The world's economic turned bad, the atmosphere was very much like the one right now. Singapore's economic growth percentage of that year was 0%! It was a big blow to Lee Kuan Yew. While his good friend the RoC managed to achieve a 6%! Lee Kuan Yew asked Jiang Jing Guo why his country was able to do that. jiang jing Guo said it's due to the policy of encouraging talented people to come to Taiwan and also due to the government's policy of encouraging creative and innovation in technology. Lee Kuan Yew was impressed and he quickly went to RoC for a toru of obversation. He spent a few days in the technology park! His earnest attitude impressed a lot of RoC officers. He brought back all the ideas to Singapore and immediately applied them and nowadays it is even doing much better than the RoC now.
I never expect Lee Kuan Yew believe in Feng Shui. The story is: Back into year 1997, the economic downturn came like a strong wind and defeated a lot of countries in Asia. Singapore was hit as well. Then the Feng Shui consultant of Singapore suggested that each Singaporean had to carry a 'Ba Gua' (Chinese ancient 'Eight Trigram'). The problem was: how to get every Singapore to carry that kind of awkward thing? Hence the government came out with an idea, which is to put the 'Ba Gua' in the 1 dollar coin! If you notice, the 'Ba Gua' was actually put into all 1 dollar coins that were published after year 1997!
Lee Kuan Yew strongly believes that dictatorship would help growing a country by ensuring a stable political environment. He objected jiang Jing Guo's idea of allowing 'democracy' to his country. However Jiang Jing Guo did not listen to him and now RoC's democracy was quite a role of model for the Asia countries.
Well, i am glad to be able to know this history.

Happy mid-autumn festival 中秋节快乐！
The mid-autumn festival is one of the 4 major festivals of the Chinese. You may refer to the complete description of this festival here
The other 3 important festivals are the Chinese New Year(Spring Festival), the Qing Ming Festival (means Clear & Bright) and the Duan Wu Festival.
Luckily this year it falls on Sunday. Therefore i managed to reunite with my family members on this day. Reunion on the full moon day means everything to Chinese family.
It is quite unfortunate that it was raining in the night so i could not see the beautiful moonlight. Anyway i had seen it the day before. The scene was weird. Clouds were gathering around the full moon and the moonlight penetrated through the thick clouds. You could see rainbow ring surrounding the full moon. Fascinating!
Happy mid-autumn festival to you guys out there! Hope you guys will complete your whatever things out there as full moon means complete!

New Employee Orientation
Well, i joined IBM Malaysia eventually. The first few weeks were just quite bored. I am not given any assignment. Today i attended the New Employee Orientation. I learned something here!
I realized the power of 'innovation'!
We were put in different groups. The trainer was asking us to play a game. Each of the group member has to touch 4 balls in sequence. He demonstrated the normal way we did it and asked us to improve the process.
The game was so interesting. Initially we achieved a 5 seconds record. He was not satisfied and in the end we managed to finish the task within 1 second!
That's the power of 'innovation' , 'think'
Wow....

中华文化对世界文明的贡献
奥运是希腊文明送给世界的一份礼物。
中华文明呢？除了四大发明外？有别的吗？
这值得探讨。
要超越美国成为另一个超级大国的话，软实力一定要强！英语的通行就是昔日英国及今日美国成功的软实力政策的一例！如果华语（普通话）能做到这点那么中国才算是有希望挑战美国的地位！日本曾经差点做到了！所以这应该不是梦！
而且中国需要鼓励国内的创新风气。如果在文化及科技上能创新，就必能强化对世界的影响力！就像日本的动漫一样！中国需要的就是这些东西！
我想，这梦想可能还需要一、两代人来努力实现！加油吧！

The way Islamic countries treat women
Women in Islamic countries are suffering from a lot of restrictions which are so against the humanity. Women in these countries have to cover from their head till leg! This kills the woman's right of choosing costume freely. Some countries that practices the Islamic fundamentalism even do not allow women to get involved in social activities. For example women are prohibited from working!! Women who participate in sports have to make sure that they do not expose any parts of their body besides head! Imagine if a Muslim lady takes part in swimming or gymnastic or beach volleyball! Certainly she will be forced to dress up a lot or she is even not allowed to take part in the game anymore.
Ironically, the men from these countries are curious about woman's body. They enjoy sex. They enjoy prostitution. Men from Islamic countries enjoy typing 'SEX' in Google!(According to a survey done in year 2007 or 2006 i can't remember exactly) Yet they want their women to cover up their body so that these men will not commit any sex crimes against these women. Ain't it funny! Think carefully, the problem actually falls back to men. It is up to the men themselves to control their behaviors rather than to ask women to do something that help reduce the lust of the men! If we are decent, if we do not have obscene thinking in our mind, it does not bother us if a nude lady is standing right in front of us. Is it really unfair to ask the ladies to cover up their hairs so that to protect themselves from being attacked by men. That is ridiculous! Why blame the lady instead of man???
All the ridiculous things that these Islamic countries do are certainly losing respect from the non-Muslim. They will think that Islam is an extreme and a barbarous religion. If Islam wants to earn more believers, Muslims should promote Islam reputation by doing good deeds such as giving respects to women, to drop the old time punishments such as 'throw stone till death' and so on. Please let the non-Muslims know what are the good teachings in Islam. That will help convince the non-Muslims to turn themselves into Muslims.
So far i think Turkey has done a good job of trying to maintain its nation status as a secular country! I think all the other Islamic countries should learn from Turkey anyway.

炁学
最近上了3天的“无4水-气学”。真正的读音是“气”学，但其“气”非此“气”。
那个字非常罕见，请原谅我拼了老半天也拼不出来！
很神奇，短短数个小时内就能掌握了它的道理！
它能救人救己，非常实用！类似气功，相对的又简单许多！动作又简单易学易记！所以连马来西亚备受尊敬的华教元老高龄90余岁的沈慕羽先生都学习中。
当然，如要用此道救人，前提是，此学创始人---蔡宝珠老师需先为您打开穴道！开穴道需分3次来进行。
第一次开穴道时，我需要坐下，放松身体、深呼吸、闭目。然后老师用手掌按着我的头顶百汇穴，历时大概10分钟左右，就这样而已。
第二次要开的穴道是在双掌的掌心正中，学员们围了一个大圆圈，大家放松心情、闭目深呼吸，之后由站在圆圈中央老师带头，个个手牵手，等着老师从掌心发出能量从一个穿到另一个的掌心中！
至于第三次开穴道的过程与第一次相似，只是这次老师就掌按背部正中不知什么穴位。
这3次，还真感觉到穴道处的热能呢！
开了穴道后，老师就教我们辨识身上的9大穴道！为了使学员们易记，老师用号码来标示每个穴道！老师也说了每个穴道说主掌的身体部位。这些非常重要，因为欲治疗某某病就必须知道需要把能量输送到哪一个穴道！
输送能量的方法实在太容易了！只需什么什么号码配上什么什么号码的！（掌按某某穴道及某某穴道）。想不到这竟能救人！甚至生命垂危的癌症病人！
例如，如果头疼，就掌按1号（百汇穴）配上2号（额头正中的穴位），历时大概十分钟，必能痊愈！当然此为小病的治疗方法！它亦能在紧急时刻派上用场！有助延迟危机的发生！例如心脏病发作时，如用上此法，必能缓解病人情况，至少能拖到医生的到来！
不仅如此，甚至还有一些特定的简单方法能治疗长期病痛，如“抓、顺”等等特定动作。
老师为了让学员们更好的掌握此学，所以叫学员们互相为对方输送能量！个个都乐此不疲！
老师也用上了“秘密”的道理，即“吸引力法则”！老师说，我们身体发射出去什么样的能量，宇宙间就会反射对等的能量回来我们身上！这是“吸引力法则”所说的啊！想不到老师把它应用在此学中！
此学听起来虽然不可思议，但是学员众多，而个个又乐于分享他们学了此学的经历！又不得不信了！
老师功德无量啊！
我期待有一天我也能派上用场救人！建立功德！在此之前，先尝试医好我的一些慢性病。

有趣的或然率
和朋友谈到了或然率。
朋友提出了一个他在某某英语电视剧所看到的题目。
桌面上有盖着的3张牌。2张是A，1张是B。
1）你必须选其中一张。
2）选了之后，对方会打开其中一张B。现在桌面上只剩下2张仍盖着的牌，其中一张是你之前选的。
所以，现在你选中B的或然率是多少呢？
答案是，1/3！
我相信大部分的人会说答案是1/2。因为只剩下2张未揭底的牌啊！
但是，在对方未揭开其中一张B之前，你已经选了手头上的牌，不是吗？
想想看。
如果要更清楚两种答案的分别，你不妨试这样想：
比方说，对方让您重复选50次。
这样一来，你就可以看到分别了！你有50次的机会，如果或然率是1/3，选中A的机会会小得多了不是吗？换着是1/2，几率相对的就大得多了。
呵呵，很有趣吧。

华侨旗帜、民族光辉 － 陈嘉庚先生
最近在紧追着陈嘉庚的传记，成了我每日必读文章之一。每天已买了报纸就迫不及待的掀开连载“陈嘉庚传记”文章的版面细读一番。
我一直都很向往陈嘉庚这位清末民初南洋大企业家的事迹。他的故事内有好多的重量级配角，都是大家耳熟能详的民初人物如孙中山、汪精卫等等！由此可见陈老先生的故事想必多姿多彩，情节丰富。也足以证明当时他的地位非凡，能轻易与这些历史大人物们打交道。
在未读陈嘉庚传记之前，我已从许许多多的文献报刊中得知他事迹的一二。如果所载史实可靠，那我觉得陈老先生应为当代中国的风云人物之一。他可以为了振兴家乡教育而倾家荡产，建立了小学、中学、甚至大学（厦门大学）！他劳心劳力四处奔波招徕当时中国最好的师资以栽培中华子弟！单是这份贡献精神就已值得让身为炎黄子孙的我们学习！
不仅如此，他另我另眼相看的是，在那个年代，他竟拥有前瞻性的思维。他不计较民族的历史仇恨，聘请能辅助他的外籍人士为他工作，当中甚至有日本人及英国人！此为陈老先生公私分明一例！此事也证明陈老先生为人实际，不感情用事。他能清楚每个人立场皆异，所以并没盲目的把外籍人士都归类为都是对中国人不友善的一群。这在在应了他的天秤座个性。
最难能可贵的还是, 陈老先生在生意上历经波浪还是屹立不倒！他历经了数个生意危机，包括令人闻之色变、影响重大的1920年代经济大萧条！无论如何，后来他都能咬紧牙关，一一奋战到底。终于他的坚持有所回报，可谓皇天不负苦心人。要从挫折中重新爬起，说易行难，所以如能亲得陈老先生的教诲，终身必受用不尽！
我觉得，一个人物，应当有如陈老先生，所作所为都是为了子子孙孙，都是为了大众。他对亲人苟刻，对大众却慷慨！我们未必要认同他说做的每一个东西，但无可否认的是，他的精神确有很多可取之处！他可谓已做到了流芳百世。他的名字、灵魂、精神至今仍深深的依附在他的“大众遗产”内！厦门大学，集美学村，南洋商报及等等！这些遗产，让人们世世代代都惦记着他！
此乃真风云人物也！

Job is not our life!
Came across an article talking about there are more and more people not to prioritize job in their life. I like this excerpt:
In other words, I know firsthand how futile utter devotion to a job can be in the long run. I still want to do well in my job. I still want to be on the cutting edge of things. But I don’t want to work 16 hours a day to maintain that edge. It’s just not worth it. Or maybe it’s kind of worth it, but it wouldn’t win out in a head-to-head competition with my kid, my husband, my elderly father, and the rest of the hoodlums that make up my extended family.It explains what i want to explain all this while.
英语系国家
发现世界上有好多的英语系国家！
屈指数来就有英国、美国、澳洲、纽西兰（新西兰）等等！这些国家的主要居民还是严格路、萨克逊人的后代！
美国是当今世上独一无二的霸主！
英国国力相对于上数个世纪已减弱许多，但其如今亦非吴下阿蒙，尤其是经济上还是搞得很不错的！
澳洲，个人看好是未来之星! 它将继美国之后崛起！
新西兰，则有如一片净土，简直是退休人士的天堂！
这些英语系国家都还有蛮大的影响力，难怪英语如今仍然风行全世界！屹立不倒！
华语系国家怎可相比？而且，华语系国家只有一国啊！（新加坡并不算）！
想想，还真悲观！
相信华人需要让各民族欣赏方能传播万里，为其他民族所吸收采用！就像当年盛唐时期，日本和韩国介派人学习唐朝的种种优越文化般！
这个世纪对中国来说是一个千古难逢的机会，中国如能把握此良机再次崛起，必能再造另一个唐朝盛世！

下一个强国？
美国国力将会在今次的次贷风暴中元气大伤，在今次金融风暴中幸免的国家将趁此时崛起。
继美国之后，哪一国将会是下一个称霸全球的强国呢？
会是来自亚洲吗？中国?印度？
还是欧洲各国会复兴？
抑或是南美洲强国巴西？
我个人是蛮看好澳洲的！地理位置优越，经济已连续成长多年，土地方圆辽阔，含有丰富的天然资源，最重要的是人口少啊！
我蛮欣赏澳洲政府所奉行的移民政策，这数年来有好多的欧亚移民前往澳洲了，而他们都是在某某领域的佼佼者。如果澳洲政府能够坚守这一政策，相信不出数年澳洲必能强大起来。
它的地理位置还真比美国优越啊！想当初美国能避开两次世界大战的直接影响的确是拜他们的地理位置所赐，而澳洲在这方面是更受到优待了！任何一国欲入侵澳洲必耗费相当大的资源！真非易事！它自身已是一个大岛！而非如美国般还有加拿大及墨西哥这些邻居。

Our ex prime minister encouraged genocide?
This fella. I am speechless. Look at what he has written on his blog.
http://www.chedet.com
Hey old man, you yourself are not the indigenous too! Your blood is not pure anyway. All of our PMs do not have pure Malay blood!! This is the fact!
Think about it! Without all the so called foreigners, do you sincerely think Malaysia can be the Malaysia today? I believe it will be another Cambodia or Laos...or even Myammar.
I can not deny that may be a large number of the first generation Chinese or Indian in Malaya did not think that Malaya is their home country! Well this can be explained because they were not born in Malaya. They were encouraged by the British to come over to this land. They just wanted to get rich and then returned to their homeland!
By the way, who do you think had robbed most of the resources in Malaya all this time? It is The British, the Netherlands, and Portugal! They were the real conquerors. Come on old man, please fire them instead of those innocent ones like Chinese and Indian, they did not get rich by robbing or killing the indigenous! Instead, the non indigenous had won numerous awards in sports events for Malaysia! How could you deny their contribution! Look at badminton, which race takes the majority since decades ago? Also, the non indigenous take the main role in a lot of woman sports as the indigenous are strongly restricted by the "law of religion" in terms of dress code! So, tell me, did the non indigenous contribute to Malaysia?
Also, please ask yourself, would the British allow Malaysia to be independent without the fight from the Chinese and Indian community? Do not forget that our independence were resulted from the cooperation of 3 major races in Malaya which were the Malay, the Chinese and the Indian!
Your words in your blog definitely would not help improve the current political climate in Malaysia! Please do not start your racist statement again! If you want to get rid of all the Chinese Malaysians and Indian Malaysians, please bear the consequences because you will certainly not be benefited from that! The people will hate you so much!! It will be a big blow to the nation's economy. Malaysia will step backward for 50 years!!!
So, please keep your mouth shut, old man!

This is 21st century
Had a chat with friend. Were talking about investment. I complaint that buying a house basically means being put in prison for whole life because you owe to bank for 20-30 years!!! You are going to lose your freedom. Anyway, why should we think of getting a house as an investment? Yes it may have been the best way for the previous generation for investment but it may not seem to be as important as it was now! Nowadays we have plenty of ways to invest our money. For e.g. trust fund. In old time people did not buy trust fund! Well I am talking about people in Malaysia. Nowadays there are plenty of trust funds for us to choose. One advantage of buying trust fund is you are always guaranteed the liquidity! You will not enjoy the same level of liquidity if you are buying a house as you need time to get someone who is willing to offer the price that you are expecting to buy your house. Else it is going to be a burden to you because every month you have to allocate certain percentage of your income to bank!
我家鄉名字的來源細說
真惭愧，在网上读到了这篇介绍文，方知家乡名字的来龙去脉。在此贴上：
“柔佛”二字，译自阿拉伯文“Jauhar”，意即“宝石”，在英文则是“珠宝”，早期被喻为“大地的尽头”，后来才定名为“柔佛”（Johor），与英文的珠宝“Jewel”谐音。柔佛州人口多达256万，共有8个县：新山、笨珍、峇都巴辖、麻坡、昔加末、居銮、丰盛港及哥打丁宜，其中新山是柔佛州的首都。柔佛是马来西亚9个由苏丹统治的州属之一，掌管州内事务者为州务大臣。虽然新山是我国主要先进都市之一，但柔佛州超过30％的土地仍是纯大自然地区，上千种植物、动物和昆虫是吸引外国的卖点之一，4个国家公园、7个休闲森林以及越来越长的受保护海岸线，3面环海的柔佛州，因此不论是喜欢上山或下海的游客，都能尽兴。
“昔加末”（Segamat）的名字源自马来文“segar”和“amat”，意即“非常新鲜”或“非常清爽”，若要追溯其典故和源头，则要从16世纪柔佛苏丹时期说起。有民间传说指“昔加末”之名乃当时的统治者苏丹阿末，亦即第一任苏丹所取。1511年，苏丹阿末与随从在一河边休息时，极度干渴的苏丹命令随从从清澈见底的河中取水饮用后，即刻感到神清气爽，舒解了长途跋涉导致的全身酸痛，于是说了一句：“Segar amat（非常清爽）！”一旁的宰相敦德博也有同感，因此就将该地区命名为“Segamat”。隶属森美兰州管辖的昔加末受英国殖民地政府统治，一直道1901年才成为柔佛州管辖地区，并成为8大县之一，也是州内主要的农业原产品区，面积达2千851.26平方公里，人口共17万8千620，是个历史悠久的小镇，古迹保留得相当完整。
这个位于柔佛州北部的小镇处处是园丘，橡胶园、油棕园及果园几乎成为当地的经济命脉，其中以果王榴连为最，单是榴连园面积就达1万1千公顷，不但盛产，而且所种植出来的榴连，品种和素质皆属上等，镇上还有一个名为“榴连广场”的地方！昔加末出产的其他水果包括龙眼、柚子、冷刹及红毛丹等，若在年中或年终的果季到访昔加末，口福不浅！爆米花论坛昔加末只是一个很小很小的小镇，但却不失为一个值得一游的地方。这个只有一条大街的小镇五脏俱全，购物中心、旅店、高尔夫球度假村、农业旅游及手工艺品中心一样都不少！
昔加末县分为南北两地，小小昔加末是县内最主要的城市，也是主要的经济集中的地，县内人口虽以马来民族居多，但主要的经济地却以华人为主，较著名和特别的旅游景点包括拉美士的天然温泉、双溪大港的断桥、苏丹的度假别墅、榴连广场、农业旅游景点和原住民居住的双溪班当（Sungai Bantang）休闲森林。
火车站
位于车站路的昔加末火车站，是当地历史悠久的古迹之一，也可说是昔加末之旅的起点。火车站对面便是巴士站。在几年前的一场火灾后，火车站也进行了几次的装修。在新巴士站还没落成前，巴士站是与火车站毗邻的建筑，知道新地落成，也就有我们今天的巴士站了。虽然距离变远了，但是设施比以往都好很多。
榴槤
昔加末市区也紧随发展列车的轨道，尤以巫罗加什路最明显，其中一个最重要及最特别的旅游景点，大概要数榴槤广场，一个果王和各种水果的贸易中心，一直是热带水果迷的必到之处，在水果季节，这里的游客和人潮更为壮观。事实上，昔加末的榴槤身价是被当地人的宣传方式越抬越高，人人慕名而来，证实昔加末榴槤是否真的“榴”名八方！
美食
小镇小食别有一番独特风味，阿芝路小贩中心的辣椒烧鱼、对望昔加末河的哈山路的肉骨茶以及昔加末峇鲁花园的印度传统小食“纸煎饼”（paper tosai），都是不可错过的美食
断桥
断桥，一个听起来让人感觉沧海桑田、痕迹斑驳、几许惆怅、淡淡哀愁滋味在心头的词。这座位于巫罗加什的断桥，一直静静地守着这个淳朴小镇，长年的沉默，挥之不去的荒凉，像是无声的控诉，控诉战争的无情、残酷与惨痛，徒留悲痛在人间！伫立在河的另一端静看断桥，心头总会不自禁地涌起难言的情绪。其实，昔加末共有2座断桥，另一座断桥坐落于距离昔加末市区约28公里的双溪大港，亦即柔佛边界，“吊”在河上的断桥，看似未完的工程。
温泉
距离拉美士约10公里处，有一个天然温泉，经过人工美化后，就成为著名的旅游景点，也是附近居民和游客的休闲松懈身心之地，既享受泡澡的悠闲，又具疗效功能，绝对是个值得一游的地方！
休闲
森林距离彼咯（Bekok）市区8公里处的双溪班登休闲森林，是除金山之外另一个备受游客喜爱的瀑布区，参天古木，奇石怪岩，不论是为享受大自然的呵护或全家出游野餐共享天伦乐，一样尽兴。距离昔加末南部约4公里的飞行俱乐部，为考取私人机师执照者提供飞行训练，想尝试飞行的滋味或对飞行情有独钟者，不妨尝试一下操作小型飞机的体验！

到頭來還是要人民幣升值！
八国集团近日发出联合声明，呼吁中国尽快让人民币升值，以暖和最近的石油与粮食危机。
说来说去，最近一年美国的所作所为还不是为了让人民币升值！
自数年前起，欧美各国就对中国年年的贸易顺差极度不满！他们抗议连连并采取各种手段如限制中国产品入口等等来逼中国让人民币升值。但是各种手段皆不成功，吃下场场败仗。
不知是恰巧或是已计划好，去年下半年美国“突然”爆发次贷危机，美联储局拼命调低利率，美元从此大幅贬值，加以引爆石油与粮食危机。再来是更棘手的通胀！
那些存有大量美元的国家这下的打击可大了！想想，手上的美元资产的价值竟然于短短数月内大量蒸发！而中国就是其中一国！不仅如此，接下来的日子还需付出更过来购买或补贴石油，中国人民日子必苦！
欧美各国上演了好一出戏！
竟然拿了亚洲各国包括马来西亚等来陪葬！

系統與制度
去了书局，看了一本专门探讨中国皇帝制度的兴衰原因的书籍。书中解释了因和皇帝制度能崛起于神州大地，也为何在两千年后落得没落的下场，被孙中山先生领导的同盟会一举推翻，殆于辛亥革命。
从书中，我有了一些想法，即是原来数千年来我们始终是在寻找着一个能让社会各阶层都满意的完美制度。
社会上有好多的制度，国家要制度，社会要制度，公司要制度，学校要制度，还有好多好多。可见制度于人类而言是非常重要的。
可惜，世界上没有一样东西是完美的。由于人性复杂，因此各制度的实行都会出现适合一些人却又不适合另一些人的问题，总而言之就是不能一并满足全部人。就比如政治制度，如果不能与时并进，社会往往会打乱，国家历经大动荡并在牺牲了无数人民的生命后带来改变，此乃一种制度本身所做出的调整，以不出更大的乱子。
相信，就如中华民族第一经典“易经”所带来的讯息，“易”毕竟才是延续之道！易，即为“改变”。领导人们度需不时根据社会当时的经济、人心动态、天时等等来改变或调整整个制度，唯有如此才能避免民初之军阀割据历史的重演！
仔细想想，在世界上这么多种的政治制度中，现在看起来比较可行的还是美利坚合众国的共和制度。这个制度已延续了两三百年，可说是美国能于近代崛起的要点之一。他的最大的好处是，即使国家领导人意外下台或逝世，皆无损国家各种政策的施行。这道理和一间上了轨道的公司一样，当公司上了轨道，就意味着公司已有一个良好的系统分化了掌权人的权利。那么当某某重要人物缺席数日是公司亦不会出乱子，因为员工只需要根据既定的制度来执行政策。
如果一个国家是由独裁者统治的话，万一独裁者不在其位了，国家因长期习惯于听一人发号施令，此时必令各官员们不知所措，最糟的是阴谋家此时起兵于四方，国家必定打乱。
还有一种值得讨论的新加坡式政治制度以非常成功，虽然该国掌权者假民主之名而行一党独裁之实，但该国胜在掌权者一心一意要搞好国家，所以在一言堂之下，执行政策方面少了许多反对的声音，结果该国国力节节上升，不出数十年就被列为亚洲数一数二的先进国。如今的中国掌权者似乎在采取类似新加坡的方式，好在这班领导人都真心真意为民付出，因此中国还不会败在该一党专政制度下。至于共产主义，还真的存在吗？如果简单的想，共产主义与资本主义一向来是各站对立面的，现在中国全国疯狂推行资本主义，看来共产主义还只是个牌子，其基本精神已荡然无存。

Finally, i quit 终于辞职了
16th July 2008 will be my last day in XXX.
This time is real. I have spent my 4 years here. Now, it is time to go.
Being the first company in my life, i will not forget the memories with it.
Memory in Kulai, Melaka, Singapore...
In fact, since XXX left, i have already lost my mood to work. I became more quiet. I am not interested in having frequent interaction with new colleagues anymore.
It was back in year 2006. Basically, after that, i think i had wasted my time, until today.
I tried to look for the answer by having an 'escape' to Cambodia alone. Over there, i kept thinking and thinking. What actually lies ahead?
I think, i found the answer from famous ancient Chinese DAO Philosopher - Zhuang Zi （庄子）
He said:
Do not be afraid of anything you want to do when you are young, do not regret the things you have done when you are old.
年轻时、不要怕。年老时、不要悔。

欢迎全球进入高通膨时代！
随着去年美国的次级房贷危机的爆发，美国联储局为了挽救这件危机，只好大量降低利率。利率的降低也意味着美元钞票数量增加了，在短时间内又没这么多的“买家”，所以美元价值暴跌。
石油交易意向来都与美元挂钩，美元贬值了，石油价自然就上升了。
当然，相信全球还有一堆堆的炒家，炒着石油、食物、等等的期货。因为各类物价的在短短数个月内的升幅大得让人觉得不可思议，因为需求绝没可能增加得如此迅速！
好了，现在各国都面对高通膨了！越南现在城门起大火了，接下来还不知有哪个不幸的国家中招！苦的还是人民啊！
马来西亚是个产油国，但是政府竟然大幅度削减了石油补贴！岂有此理！为何不学学中国，其国内数间石油公司已暂时出口石油以应付国内不时之需，好稳定石油供应及油价！石油公司的确该扮演此类战略角色，而非只为了赚钱！
“国家石油”年年出口高品质石油赚大钱，在这个危难时刻，那笔钱竟不能发挥出一丝作用！！！想必是已为高官朋党所吞，抑或使用不当、大肆挥霍！最近就爆出了雪州前任政府一大堆浪费公款数十亿的白象工程。一个已如此，剩下的十之八九意识如此。想想每年这么多的钱培养了一个个的亿万富豪，马来西亚还真能啊！
丑事一件件在人民眼前慢慢的揭开，残忍极了！
现在可好了，样样东西价格飞扬，人民薪水却仍处于低水平，购买力亦低落。眼前日子似乎不好过啊！

馬哈迪評“新經濟政策”
一向来，这位前首相的所作所为足以说出他是一位马来民族主义极端分子。
所以看了他的部落格的这篇评价“新经济政策”与多元种族社会的文章，感到有点意外。
有道是“人之将死、其言也善”。
老马看开了。

馬哈迪的罪狀！
从独立新闻在线看到了唐南发的文章，非常的有意思，特摘录以下重点分享：
马哈迪从政历程中不只一次玩弄种族议题延续政治生命，信手捏来就有：
·1969年513之后发表《马来人的困境》，以近乎希特勒式的种族决定论诠释国家贫富悬殊的问题，加剧马来人同华人的对立。
·1987年茅草行动前夕，授意其左右手巫统副主席安华依布拉欣及青年团团长纳吉制造种族关系紧张的假象。
·1997年亚洲金融风暴期间，将马币贬值归咎于犹太裔的国际炒家索罗斯，肆无忌惮地发表反犹太人的极端谈话。
·1999年面对安华效应和马来选票大量流失，大选前不惜在电视上重复播放印尼排华的画面，营造恐怖气氛；为了获得华社支持，无奈接受了《全国华团大选诉求》，选后为了赢回马来基层的支持，却反悔食言，将《诉求》批为“奥马乌那，共产党”（虽然共产党本身未必是原罪）。
·2001年初，马哈迪连续几次接见马来武术团体，强调它们在保障民族强大方面的贡献，带有向非马来人下马威的意味；与此同时，却不断发表弱化马来社群自信的言论，为了掩饰本身的过错，指责马来人不长进（haprak），忘恩负义（tidak berhutang budi），善忘（Melayu mudah lupa），等等。
或许我错怪了黄泉安，因为他可能指的是马哈迪的“2020年宏愿”（Wawasan 2020）和“马来西亚国族”（Bangsa Malaysia）等目标，但马哈迪的2020宏愿其实不过彰显了他好大喜功的个性。黄泉安的同僚刘镇东就曾引述首相署的数字，指出马哈迪为了打造布特拉再也花了马币两亿一百万元！至于另一姐妹计划赛柏再也（Cyberjaya），十年下来依然问津者寡，熟悉电脑工业的黄泉安没理由不清楚。
马哈迪（左图）搞了一个又一个大型工程，没有一样不是劳民伤财的，砂拉越的本南族（Penan）就为了巴贡水坝被逼迁，传统居住地被连根拔起；而大部分国人至今还在履行供养国产车的“国民服务”，作为“歪鼻”，黄泉安总该了解一下民间疾苦。
就算在财政和经济上，马哈迪也乏善可陈。1981年7月上任后不久，马哈迪就显示了他刚愎自用的个性，将我国的锡矿囤积起来，以为可以左右全球市场，待价而沽。孰知伦敦金属交易所于隔年二月改变条例，允许无法如期交货的商家罚款了事，导致锡矿价格大泻，我国为马哈迪的自负鲁莽赔了两亿五千三百万美元，这是1982年的价钱啊！
马哈迪此举也间接赔上了我国的锡矿业。今天纽约，东京，伦敦和墨尔本充斥着从怡保一带去的“伞兵”（俗称跳飞机），很多正是马哈迪自大行为的直接受害人。想当年马来西亚和新加坡币值近乎相等，今天差距却逐年扩大，让李光耀父子笑得合不拢嘴；1990年代初，马哈迪更指示国家银行大炒英镑，结果让国家亏损高达马币百亿元。黄泉安不信，大可去问他党内的精神领袖林吉祥；老林曾经就此在国会提了n次，要求政府彻查，全无下文
