Fun

Copied… No Mood to Write Anything..

Found this story circulating.. and heard the same story from a friend from IPOH. Anyone know the insider story of it? Is that true that they overspend on this?

THE ROBBING AND PLUNDERING HAS BEGUN AGAIN.  DAULAT TUNKU.

RM800K for IPOH sign. Lucky our city’s got a short name. Or else pokai!

Guess how much this " IPOH " signage cost?
According to Malaysian Insider, Ipoh City Council confirmed that a total of RM800,000 was spent on 2 of these giant signs.
That’s RM400,000 per sign. Or RM100,000 per letter.
The Pakatan Rakyat (PR) ex-state govt said that the palace proposed the signs (and proposed 4 signs rather than the current 2). PR rejected it. BN usurped the state. Signs were then built and RM800,000 changed hands.
Look… I’m no construction engineer or signage expert, so I’m just pulling assumptions out of my ass. But I’m pretty sure RM800,000 can put a lot of stuff on the slope of those hills. Even if these signs were made of virgin marble, it wouldn’t cost that much. Heck.. even if they were made from virgins, it wouldn’t cost that much.
So, I’m asking. PR should be asking. The people of Perak should be asking…

• WHO WAS THE CONTRACTOR WHO POCKETED THE RM800,000? IS HE LINKED TO THE PALACE OR ANY POLITICIAN?
• HOW MUCH LESS WOULD IT HAVE COST UNDER A COMPETITIVE TENDER?

FaceBook Friend Maximum

How many of you already reach the maximum friends for your FaceBook account? I found one person, and perhaps there should be more.

You know how many friends you need to max up your facebook account?

Look at this (no wonder have so many friends on FaceBook ler..:

and this:

She has 5004 friends in her list so that I could not add her, so pity.. haih.. hehe..

Well, so what is the solution or workaround if I have more than 5004 friends that want to link to me on the facebook?

Photo Wanted..

Opinion wanted.

Background of the story, I got subscribe to some photo agent that help people look for photos to suit certain purpose. This is the recent requirement:

I have some but not sure whether can meet the requirements or not.

* Just have fun. Wish not to receive any email from MCMC later.

Give and Take

You have visited 15Malaysia? If not, I want to recommend you to watch this one.

Of course, the rest of the short films are good too. But this is just so special not because it is the art of late Yasmin Ahmad, I find it so special because I learn to see it more in depth, after listening to Tian Chua in the sharing event of 1 Malaysia，15 Films.

At the end of the story, the most important lesson learnt is, why not we give in a bit if our friends come short of something, no matter what race they are? Of course, when things go too extreme, it become unacceptable. But if it is just a matter of 5 cent, why not just tolerant?
