A disaster waiting to happen???

Residents of a neighbourhood in Batu Caves may be living on the brink of a disaster. Their apartment block is perched on a slope that is gradually being washed away following the endless recent downpours. The 18-floor medium-cost homes called Lakeview Apartment in Taman Jasa Perwira is right next to Taman Jasa Utama, where mud and soil flowed into a number of houses on Saturday evening following a landslip.

When The Star visited the area yesterday, the embankment below Block A of the Taman Jasa Perwira apartments was clearly being affected by erosion. Resident Ahmad Jefry, 31, said he had related the problem to the developer last month and was told that the situation would be fixed.

For now, the cooperative officer is not particularly perturbed because his unit is located slightly further away from the slope. He estimated that about 30 units in Block A were already occupied by residents, adding that he planned to move into his newly-bought apartment there soon.

“I am not particularly worried,” he said.

Other residents were somewhat anxious about the situation but some were still blissfully unaware of the erosion although their parking lot sits right atop the slope. They said that they had not noticed the erosion before. Now, though, they were getting worried.

Be really, really worried.

Typhoon leaves 14 dead in Philippines!

A tropical storm roared toward Vietnam on Sunday after battering the Philippine capital and surrounding provinces, leaving 14 people dead in a region still waterlogged from three previous, back-to-back storms.

Typhoon Mirinae slammed into Manila and nearby northern Philippine provinces over the weekend then weakened into a storm as it blew out Sunday toward the South China Sea, leaving at least 14 people dead, toppling trees and damaging more than 5,500 houses with fierce winds, officials said. Mirinae was the fourth storm to lash the northern Philippines since late September and brought new hardship to areas still dealing with the previous disasters. Some 87,000 people who fled during prior storms were still living in temporary shelters when Mirinae struck.

The storm headed out over the South China Sea and was swirling 279 miles (450 kilometers) southwest of Manila early Sunday but could still bring rains and thunderstorms to western Palawan province, forecasters said. It was expected to strike Vietnam's central coast around noon Monday.

Disaster-response authorities evacuated more than 115,000 people in Manila and nearby provinces in Mirinae's path before the typhoon struck. At its height, its winds were blowing 93 miles (150 kilometers) per hour and gusting up to 115 mph (185 kph).

One river in Laguna province, south of Manila, overflowed, washing away a bridge and flooding most of lakeside Santa Cruz town. Residents clambered onto roofs to escape the waters before they receded later in the day, Mayor Ariel Magcalas said

At least 14 people died, mostly by drowning, in five provinces and four remained missing, disaster response officials said.

Ketsana was followed closely in the northern Philippines by Typhoon Parma, which triggered massive landslides in mountain regions. More than 900 people were killed in the two storms, and a third then threatened the northern Philippines before veering toward Japan.

The Banner Concerts.

So, now we all know who the mystery band behind the song Through My Window - and we all know that it is BUNKFACE.

But do you know their background?

This was extracted from everyoneconnects.net.

Three years ago four secondary school friends Sam, Paan, Youk and Ejam pledged to rock the local music scene! From their humble beginnings winning ROTTW’s Battle of the Bands in 2006, Bunkface went on to dominate the airwaves with their chart-topping hits. With their addictive energy and out-of-this-world performances, Bunkface went on to win the Rockstar, Best new Act and Ultimate Award at this year’s Shout! Awards. Their world domination plans are far from over!

And this weekend - they will be at Sunway Pyramid this Saturday to perform a special 'banner concert' show....

Oh... its not just them there - there's also a couple of others... I've also attached their profiles here...

Mila, Dafi & Akim

Mila, Dafi & Akim shot to stardom by appearing in the hit reality talent show, Akademi Fantasia and have since garnered fans from across the country with their fresh and clean-cut talent. As the only female to have ever won a season of Akademi Fantasia, Mila took international acclaim by winning Best Song and a special jury award for her song Ilham Di Matahari at the International Pop Music Festival held in Bulgaria. Teenage sensation and heart-throb Dafi however, was chosen as Berita Harian’s Readers’ Choice Best New Male Artiste of 2007 while Akim has also made it big by appearing at numerous events, acting in a musical drama and even has a chart-topping hit ‘Bengang’ on the airwaves...

Tomok

Tomok first tasted celebrity status at the tender age of 15 years old with his popular band New Boyz. He then catapulted into fame again through One in a Million 3 – capturing the hearts and devotion of viewers who ensured his win as the first male champion of the One in a Million series. Besides working hard on releasing his own solo album, Tomok is just a regular guy who likes to play video games and go fishing.

SHILA

Shila is Malaysia’s answer to Miley Cyrus! At only 18 years old, she has earned a place in the nation’s heart as Malaysia’s ‘sweet little candy girl’ when she won 1st runner-up in One in A Million 2 and winning the ‘Best Song’ and ‘Gold Award’ for Penang Shanghai World Star Quest 2008. With two albums already under her belt (and another one coming out soon), numerous TV commercials and concert; Shila is on a one-way ticket to success!

So, I'll be at Sunway Pyramid this weekend for the TM event; will you guys be there too?

Interesting Quote.

'Bomb my house if you have to'

I'm Going Bonkers with Bunkface!!!

While there was much hype on this weekend's crunch match between Manchester United and Liverpool, there was also very much hype and media coverage on a particular mystery.. in fact, a mystery song. A very catchy song.

I was wondering what the buzz was all about - I mean, so many tweets and blog posts were mentioned on that new song on the radio the past couple of days; and then finally I read one of the twitters and found the link...

everyoneconnects.net

We all know by now that the song was sang by a good local pop group, Bunkface, and the song name is indeed called Through My Window. It is all been revealed on the website... ahhh FINALLY!!!!

You know, now that I've heard it like a thousand times in the past couple of days, the song is practically stuck in my head!!! I'm going kinda crazy man.. I mean, I've already followed them on Twitter.. and I even became a fan on Facebook now!!!

This is madness!!!

Anyone here with me? If you are, here's the lyrics for you to sing along...

Dont want much, I just want everything
Thought that I could, do almost anything
One step in front of the other
Thought that I could do it alone

In the blink of an eye, it's just another day
Telling me why, I'll find another way
Got this feeling, got me reeling
I can almost start believing

Now there's me and you
And we are not alone
You and me
We are together now
Through my window, I can see there's
More than you and more than me
Me and you
And we are not alone
Different view
We are together now
Through my window, I can see
Our wildest dreams could be so real

I see a spark, it starts a fire
Is this the one worth waiting for?
Thought that I could do it without youDont want much, I just want everything
Thought that I could, do almost anything
One step in front of the other
Thought that I could do it alone

In the blink of an eye, it's just another day
Telling me why, I'll find another way
Got this feeling, got me reeling
I can almost start believing

Now there's me and you
And we are not alone
You and me
We are together now
Through my window, I can see there's
More than you and more than me
Me and you
And we are not alone
Different view
We are together now
Through my window, I can see
Our wildest dreams could be so real

I see a spark, it starts a fire
Is this the one worth waiting for?
Thought that I could do it without you
Cant exist like this anymore

Now there's me and you
And we are not alone
You and me
We are together now
Through my window, I can see there's
More than you and more than me

Now theres me and you, you and me
We are not alone and we are together
Through my window I can see
Our wildest dreams could be so real

Cant exist like this anymore

Now there's me and you
And we are not alone
You and me
We are together now
Through my window, I can see there's
More than you and more than me

Now theres me and you, you and me
We are not alone and we are together
Through my window I can see
Our wildest dreams could be so real


Oh.. and in case you havent heard it yet, go download the song from here ok...

The 9/11 Tragedy Theories.

Before you read this, I just want you to know that I did NOT make this up.

"Is terrorism really a coincidence?"

If all the written theories below are true, then the terrorists are extremely clever.

Proof:

1. New York City has 11 letters.

2. Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3. Ramsin Yuseb : The terrorist that threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993 – 11 letters..

4. President George W Bush – 11 letters

Whats written above could be pure considences, but now the interesting parts will take place :

1. New York is the 11th state in the U.S

2. The first plane crashing in the Twin Towers, was plane number 11.

3. Flight 11 had room for 92 passangers

9+2 = 11

4. Flight number 77, wich is also a plane who crashed in the twin towers, had room for 65
passangers.

6+5 = 11

The tragedy that framed the Twin Towers happened 9/11.

9+1+1 = 11.

You still think this is a coincidence? Here’s more interesting thoughts:

The total number of victims in the planes, were 254 passangers

2+5+4 = 11

5. The 11 of september, is the 254th day in the year

Again : 2+5+4 = 11.

6. The bombing in madrid 3/11/2004

3+1+1+2+4 = 11

7. The tragedy in madrid happened 911 days AFTER the Twin Tower tragedy.

Facts :

The most known symbol for the United States Of America, after the stars and stripes, is the eagle. The following verse has been taken from Islams most sacred book, the “holy quran"...

”For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced:
For the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace.”

This was the verse number 9/11 of the kuran.

Still think its a coinsidence? Well, ill leave it up for you to decide.

Here’s a little trick that you HAVE to try out, its pretty amazing :

1. Open Microsoft Word.

2 . Type in in big letters : Q33 NY. (This was the flight number of the first plane that crashed
in the Twin Tower.

3. Mark Q33 NY

4. Make the size 48

5. Then change the font to “WINGDINGS”

As you can see, this is pure facts and theories. And personally I think its amazing. Coincidence or not, discuss.

The catchy tune...

Every morning I listen to the radio - listen to my daily dosage of 'Richard Reed' (I think its spelled like that...), and also listen to my daily Gotcha bits here and there... listening to JJ & Ean do their thing.. then today, one very very catchy tune sprung up.. it was pretty catchy...

"You and me... Me and you... bla bla bla..."

Its almost as catchy as that Dominos Pizza song... one three hundred triple eight... bla bla bla... or that Pizza Hut song...

So anyways, I stopped thinkin of the song for a bit - and then went around blog surfing.. something I enjoy doing a lot; its like checking out chics and so on.

First stop, Amanda Choe.

Meet Amanda Choe and her new bffriend. (oops, her bf different guy ler) It was then that I found out about her little dilemma too - with a particular song on radio! I supposed its the same song we're talking about???

Oh my.. this is so mind boggling...

I've included a little part from Manda's blog for you guys to read.

Rahman also mentioned the same thing on HIS blog.. wow.. it seems I'm not the only one facing this problem. Perhaps I can find answer soon to who's the artist behind that song...

More people facing this problem?

Soo also mentioned it in his blog.

Wow this song is revolutionary man.. so many people are puzzled over the song!!!

I wonder who else is?

Wow... even Cheng Leong is having the same thing.

Read this on xes.cx this morning. Super big timer lawyer whos a Pappa Rich addict and BB+Twitter addict also dont have the answer. Mmm.. but he appeals to a lot more people and I suppose they can give him an answer soon.

Otherwise, I'll have to ask Uncle Kenny @kennysia.

Even Kenny needs an answer.

Mmm glad I am not the only one...

You and me... pls tell me the answer - otherwise I cant sleep tonight.

Arrrgghhhh!!!

More adult Malaysians turn to the Net for sex info...

The Star reported this yesterday...

PETALING JAYA: More adults are relying on the Internet to get information on sex, according to a Durex Sexual Wellbeing Survey. As much as 75% of Malaysians gave credit to the Internet for teaching them the bedroom “how-tos”.

Mmm "how-tos" - u mean, like positions?

Men (75%) outnumber women (71%) in using the Internet to surf about sex. Seventy-three per cent of the respondents also learn about sex through magazines. Other sources include books (65%), friends and peers (56%) and partners (43%). All these surpass sex education at school, which makes up only 36% of them.

I personally think that they are just surfing for porn... mmm what education?

The number of respondents was at 1,026 with an equal number of women and men aged 18 years and above. Despite the figures, less than half of Malaysians — 45% of men and 39% of women — think there is enough advice and information available on the issue.

The survey stated that 73% of Malaysians who had formal sex education are satisfied with their sexual wellbeing while the global average of sexual satisfaction stands at 59%. However, the survey also found that 51% of those who received sex education at school did not learn about conception while 71% were not taught about sexually transmitted diseases.

...diseases? from orgies? or what?

Less than half of Malaysians (48%) had wished their sex education had included love, respect and on giving pleasure to one’s partner. It found that about 44% of those aged between 16 and 24 liked to have received more information on the subject in comparison to 62% among those aged between 35 and 44.

The survey is the fourth in a series of reports by Durex, with this one emphasising on knowledge and education. Previous results of the three surveys titled “Satisfaction”, “In the Bedroom” and “The Big O” can be found on www.durex.com.

The Things Stupid Malaysians Do During Fuel Hike.

In view of recent Malaysian fuel hikes, and the boredom that I am facing right now, I thought I could come up with something truly stupid - BUT TRUE about us Malaysians.

1. The moment they hear the news, they decide to go back early. WHY? They want to be the first to be in queue at the petrol station. Sorhais! Everyone else would also think the same way - hence the jam.

2. Queue up for 1km, or say like 2 hours, sitting in the car with your engine on and so on. The amount of fuel that you have now can be more economical if you head home direct instead of waiting just to fill in like RM20.

3. Get the whole damn family to join in the stupidity. Husband, wife, girlfriend, son, daughter, uncle, aunty and so on and so forth, drive every single family car to go pump petrol. This is totally stupid!

4. Pump as much as you can inside the already 70% filled up tank! RM1.92 petrol or RM2.70 petrol? Shell or Caltex? They are all the same. They still get their petrol from Petronas! And different price? The product is still the same. The petrol station owner filled up his reserves the night before!

5. Waste your existing cash on unnecessary purchase of petrol. Do the math - you're still the loser. Some sign and sign on their credit cards. Who benefits? Definitely not you.

6. In the event of the recent crude oil price downward movement causes the petrol price to be decrease, I bet you the stupid Malaysians will bring many many tong to go and fill up to stock up, in case it goes up the following week!

7. Try to car pool in order to save petrol. Next thing, they get robbed by strangers whom they try to invite into their cars. They lose the car, their money, handbags and so on and so forth. So, 41% increase in petrol? Nothing compared to their losses.

8. Wasting like 6 hours of precious time waiting in queue. Your wife is waiting for you at home. Your girlfriend gets angry at you. Some people even more stupid - waste their GSC movie tickets (say, 2 nos x RM15 = RM30) and then they go pump like 30 litres of petrol (savings RM0.78 x 40 litres = RM23.40). Do the math!

9. Wasting like the same 6 hours trying to squeeze your way into the queue. You could be driving an expensive Mercedes or BMW that costs 500k, but brains stupid like dinosaurs! Petrol saved = 30 bucks. Scratch on car = RM3,000. Sorhai or not?

10. Do not dare to drive out - cos wanna save petrol. And end up doing what? Read this blog post. Hahahahahaha....
