Protect your assets

Total protection for your assets if you are a watersports fan.





















The "Bay Watch" bikini life jacket concept is brilliant on three levels: It can help save lives, it is much more attractive to wear than traditional life jackets and your likelihood of being saved by a male lifeguard in the area probably increases ten-fold when you are wearing it. Plus, it looks as though there is some additional padding in the rear to achieve J-Lo levels of buoyancy. Again, it is only a concept at this point, but it certainly has mounds of potential.

When someone said hi

On this dull and boring Monday morning, nothing seems to be right.
Until I opened my email and a surprisingly familiar name appeared in my Inbox.

Hahaha, it was from Strawberry, a long 'lost' friend. I knew her from my secondary school days, where we became pen-pals. (Yup, we use pen and papers. At that time, IM/MSN/SMS/ or email are unheard of.)

Strawberry, you made my day.

Here we go again

Year in year out, it never fail to amuse me.
From the UPSR to STPM, every year there's bound to be news about exam leak.
Latest piece is about the SPM's Additional Math paper.

Board: Let cops probe SPM exam leak claim
PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Examinations Syndicate (MES) will leave it to the police to investigate a claim that there was a leak in the Additional Mathematics Two paper in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination.
Students sat for the two-and-a-half-hour paper on Tuesday afternoon.
MES director Datuk Mohammed Zakaria Mohd Noor said the complainant lodged a police report on Wednesday.
“We will let the police investigate the matter as we do not want to interfere with the ongoing examination,” he said.
He was asked about a TV news report on Wednesday night alleging that there was a leak in the paper.
“I want to urge parents and students not to worry as the previous allegation about a leak in the Primary School Achievement Test was proven to be untrue,” he said.
Earlier yesterday, Education director-general Datuk Alimuddin Mohd Dom said he had not received a full report on the matter.
“I urge anyone with information to come forward,” he said after opening a seminar on strengthening national schools.
A total of 439,255 students are sitting for the SPM, which started on Nov 12 and ends on Dec 6.
Alimuddin said the public could call the operations room if they encountered any problems related to the SPM examination.
The operations room can be contacted at 03-8889 3551/3520 or 03-8884 3030, Mondays to Fridays from 7.30am to 5pm.


Hahaha, it will never stop!

Who's fault is it?
Maybe it is the students. As long as there's demand, there'll always be supply. That's the basic rule of economics. That's why a lot of tuition centers boast having "spot" questions to boost their enrollment rate.

Or maybe it is MES itself? Who have access to the exam paper prioer to the examination apart from these people? Or blame it on the Printer who did the printing? Or the Delivery Guy? No one knows.

The world is full of uncertainties, but one thing for sure, I'll look for forward for the same piece of news next year.
