  • India Introduces Its New Rupee Currency Symbol 0 CommentsPosted by KeeMan on July 19, 2010 under Current Issues, Life Bytes
    The Indian Government has finally unveiled the new standardised symbol for Ruppe. It's a combination of Devanagri 'ra' and Roman 'R'. This move will see the use of "Rs." to mark the rupee currency being slowly phased out. It's a good move by the Indian government since some other countries are calling their currency as "rupee" as well (e.g. Pakistan and Nepal). The new symbol, however, will tak... more.
  • What Paul the Octopus doesn’t know… 5 CommentsPosted by KeeMan on July 4, 2010 under Current Issues, Life Bytes

However, there is also some interesting predictions being circulated around the net by using numbers, which I think it's worthy of sharing. Just read on. Interest... more.

  • Donate to SCCS and I Shall Serve You Good with my Bald Head too 4 CommentsPosted by KeeMan on April 10, 2010 under Current Issues, Sarawak
    As previously posted in my post Be Bold, Go Bald 2010 in Kuching!, the Go Bald campaign is for real and not as what many claimed it as a publicity stunt. Yes, publicity is perhaps one of the objectives but creating awareness via publicity is the effort that we should all support. The Go Bald campaign is one of the many events by Sarawak Children's Cancer Society (SCCS) that aims to gain funding to... more.
  • Sometimes, I pity AirAsia and its Staff 18 CommentsPosted by KeeMan on April 2, 2010 under Current Issues, Life Bytes
    Malaysians are kind of "annoying"  sometimes, especially when they started to complain without "thinking". I mean serious thinking. In this particular case, I'm sharing my views on how Malaysians tend to complain to AirAsia and its staff when things go wrong. Being a low-cost airline, AirAsia has indeed allowed many people to fly to their favourite destinations at a cheape... more.
  • Earth Hour 2010: More than Just “Lights Off” 3 CommentsPosted by KeeMan on March 27, 2010 under Current Issues, Life Bytes
    It's Earth Hour 2010 and I think Malaysians are beginning to be aware of this event this year compared to previous years, especially when there are more local companies involved in green campaigns like tree planting, recycling (throughout the week) and of course turning off non-essential lights during the Earth Hour, 8.30-9.30p.m. (local time). Well, this is not a post to explain the campaign in a... more.
  • Scam Alert: CIMB BANK BERHAD has given you an E-Gift Voucher 2 CommentsPosted by KeeMan on February 10, 2010 under Current Issues, Life Bytes, Money Sense
    I received a surprised mail today and I thought it's just too good to be true: I won RM500! What a way to start Lunar New Year? Haha. Yeah right. At first glance, the mail looks convincing with its terms and condition stated like an actual voucher giveaway. I quickly check the links and sender email address and as expected, it was not from CIMB or CIMB Clicks. Plus, Firefox reported web forgery on... more.
  • Leo Beer Girls Controversial Calendar 2010 13 CommentsPosted by KeeMan on December 19, 2009 under Current Issues, Life Bytes
    As highlighted in the press lately, how Thai government is taking action on Thailand's Singha company over their controversial Leo Beer Calendar for 2010. Apparently, their body was painted without a single thread on! Not sure what's the purpose, but definitely beers should be drank and not using girls as a bait to lure guys to buy beers. If your beers suck, nobody will drink it!! Here are some pi... more.
  • Teachers Beware: Facebook Student Stalkers Alert! 6 CommentsPosted by KeeMan on December 2, 2009 under Current Issues
    Alright! To all teachers who are happily showcasing their Facebook profiles out there, here is a reminder from the Ministry of Education Malaysia: YOUR STUDENTS ARE WATCHING YOU! Duh. Hahaha. Last week, I received a rather shocking news from my friend (who is a teacher in Perak) that out of nowhere, the students in his schools posted pictures of him on the school notice board! What kind of picture... more.
