Extended Train Service In Kuala Lumpur

Roads in the city would be packed with people and auto traffic come New Year's eve. It would be wise to use public transport such as the train. If you intend to do so, you would be happy to know that the commuter service will be extended until the early hours of Jan 1 in conjunction with New Year celebrations.

The Star reported that the extended service will involve 13 additional trains on the Seremban-Rawang and Sentul-Port Klang lines.

For the Seremban-Rawang line, the first additional train will leave Seremban at 10:50pm on Dec 31 and the last one at 2:20am on Jan 1. On the return journey, the first additional train leaves Rawang at 10:45pm on Dec 31 and the last one at 2:50am on Jan 1.

For the Sentul-Port Klang line, the first additional train leaves Port Klang at 10:55pm on Dec 1 and the last one at 2:25am on Jan 1. On the return trip, the addiitonal train leaves Sentul at 11"05pm on Dec 31 and the last one at 3:20am on Jan 1.

Let me take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones A Happy New Year!

0% APR On Balance Transfer

Many of us have more than one credit card. With escalating costs of goods and services due to inflation, some of us may not be able to keep up with payments resulting in unpaid balances.

A good way to manage our credit card balances is to transfer all the balances into one single credit card. This move not only makes for easier management, most importantly, it helps us save cost on interest rates as many of these cards feature a 0% Apr for an intro period on balance transfers. Credit Card Balance Transfer is therefore a smart move.

Where would one look for such a card?

Check out CreditCardSearchEngine.com. It is one of the Internet’s longest running sites for online credit card comparison where you can search, compare and apply for a bank transfer credit card or any other type of credit cards, everything from low interest and reward card to cards for people with average or bad credit.

Credit cards offered by CreditCardSearchEngine are from leading U.S. credit card issuers and banks including Citibank, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan as well as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card. Apply securely online.

HotelReservations Offers The Best Rates

For me, December is a great time of the year for various reasons and the best reason is, of course, to be able to get away for a holiday. I checked out a few sites and I found that Hotel Reservations has the best offerings in price and their wide selection of accommodations - motels, hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, and more.

I found their prices very competitive and in some cases, there is even a 70% discount for worldwide destinations too. My friends and I would be able to get a further discount on group travel. Booking is easy too. We can either book online or call them toll-free.

More Flooding


Once again, the monsoon rain is causing havoc and hardship to people of the east coast state of Kelantan. Hillside cutting and pollution of the rivers are proving costly. This has caused floods as with the trees gone, the ground is unable to retain rainwater forcing rivers to carry more water than they can handle.
.
Bare hills also result in soil erosion, causing mud and debris to make rivers shallower. A taskforce has been set up to review all development projects.
.
The school holidays could be extended if the flooding continues.

Capella University Is An Award Winner

If you are considering Online Learning and online degree programs, you may want to consider Capella University. Capella University provides relevant degree programs offered in an online format and developed around industry standards. Due to their higher academic standards and flexible online delivery, many corporations are recommending Capella University to their employees.

On November 1 recently, Capella University received an award as one of three finalists for the Minnesota Tekne Award in the "Technology User" category. Capella University was recently designated as a Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security.

Monsoon Season of Floods

This time of the year brings heavy rains and floods. Many states are now affected and deaths have been reported. The east coast states of Kelantan and Terengganu and the state of Johore in the south, are badly affected. It doesn't look like people in the flood affected areas will get any respite, with more rain forecast, floodwaters that remain at high levels in some areas, and a high tide phenomenon forecast for Friday that is expected to make things worse.

Haven't Heard of Nerf Bars?

Vans, trucks and SUVs are popular here in Malaysia as they are flexible. They are good for work and leisure. Even though they may be taller than cars, getting in and out of them need not be a hassle as they can be fitted with running boards and nerf bars.


Did you know that nerf bars are actually very strong as they are constructed for maximum strength and durability being made of steel? Some of them are also stylish with an oval tube design such as Lund nerf bars, while certain designs, like those from T & H Euro-Tech offer a quick DIY installation.

Nerf bars not only allow you to step into your vehicle, they also serve to protect your doors from kicked up stone and dirt.

A Holiday in Orlando



December is a happy month for most Malaysians, especially parents with school-going children. Because schools are closed for a good seven weeks and the family can go on a real vacation.

My neighbour, Pat, and her family have gone on a holiday in the US, Florida, I believe. I fact, two months ago, she asked whether I have any leads to some holiday homes. I wish I knew about this site that offers Orlando Holiday Villas. Thinkflorida.co.uk is a full service and valuable source of information.

Besides holiday villas, they also provide car rental service, ticket service and an online booking service for private pool homes, condos and townhouses in the Disney area, the latter which is exactly what Pat would need. The holiday villas offered are modern and with state-of-the-art amenities that a contemporary family would need. They also have the right type of accommodation to meet any particular need such as for the physically challenged holiday-makers.

Thinkflorida.co.uk is surely the place I'd look for a holiday in Florida,

Penang Second Bridge

The Penang second bridge would be the longest in South-East Asia when completed in January 2011.

Public Safety Above All....said the PM of Malaysia





Public safety before public freedom will be the government's top priority and there will be no hesitation in taking the stiffest action against irresponsible people.

This was said by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in his speech at the recently-held KHAZANAH GLOBAL LECTURE SERIES - “BUILDING HEARTS AND MINDS.

Here's the speech in its entirety.

A Fine Day in Kuala Lumpur


It's a fine day today in Kuala Lumpur. In fact, too fine to be staying indoors. There are many places of interest and activities for a visitor to Kuala Lumpur. You can visit the Zoo or the Lake Gardens where there is a Rose Garden, a Deer Park and a Bird Park. There's the National Museum, the National Library and the National Art Gallery. Also, don't forget to visit the Petronas Twin Towers and go up to the Skybridge for a bird's eye view of the city. The KL Tower is also not to be missed.

While you are in KL, do drop by at the Royal Selangor Pewter factory where you will be taken on a tour of the facility plus a chance at working on a pewter ware. How's that for a hands-on experience?

Panning for Gold in Mersing, Johore



There is gold to be found here in Malaysia.

Yes, gold can be found along the shores in Mersing and it has attracted hordes of local prospectors as well as from as far as Terengganu. Mersing is a coastal town in Johore by the South China Sea. If you happen to be in Mersing, why not head on over there for some gold panning. Who knows, you might strike gold!

Try Some Clams


When it comes to seafood, Malaysia is a paradise. You can get fresh fish, crabs, shrimps or prawns, squids, clams and others anywhere and at very reasonable prices too.

If you like clams or lala as they are known locally, you are in luck as right now, there is a bountiful supply of clams found in the northern shores. Clams in Malaysia are normally prepared the stir-fried method. If you are new here and if you happen to be dining in a Chinese restaurant, order some clams. I can assure you, you will not regret it.

Lap Band - the Least Invasive Weight Loss Procedure

Yes, take the first step on your journey to better health and an improved quality of life. And we are talking about being overweight and taking action to control your weight. There is now available a less invasive procedure called the Lap Band procedure that can help you control your urge for food thus helping you lose weight.

At Journey Lite, this houston lapband is performed by highly skilled and experienced bariatric surgeons and a team of healthcare professionals dedicated to providing the safest and least invasive surgical weight-loss solution and the most comprehensive support programs available today. The procedure can be performed in an outpatient (day surgery) setting and offers a shortened recovery period. The best part is, it is adjustable and completely reversible.

Additionally, not only the surgeons are the best in the U.S, their highly competent staff is specially trained in caring for all the physical and emotional needs of the seriously overweight patient.

A Better Air Quality

The Star reported that the Health Ministry is looking into the possibility of expanding the non-smoking zones to more public places with the Tobacco Products Control Act. Areas targetted may be hawker centres, in factory buses, at fitness centres and at national service camps.

The Ministry is in the last stage of drafting the Act and the hope it is to present it to the Cabinet next year before tabling it in Parliament. So let's look forward to better air quality in the not too distant future.

Send a Postcard Home

While enjoying your visit with us in Malaysia, don't forget to let your friends and family back home know that you are having a great time here. What better way to let them know than to send them a postcard, an e-postcard, that is. There is a wide selection of postcards here.

Shop Around for the Credit Card that Meets Your Needs

A credit card is no longer a luxury these days. It is more like a necessity. If you are buying a big ticket item, for instance, it does not make sense to be carrying around all that cash. Here in Malaysia, personal cheques are sometimes not accepted. Therein lies the convenience of cashless credit card shopping.

Applying for a Credit Card can be a tricky affair as there are so many out there. Fortunately, there are sites like CreditCardSearchEngine.com that have information for one to make comparisons of the different credit cards available. Not only that, you can also get a whole list of credit card issuers and the type of credit cards available. It is to our benefit to do some searching and make comparisons in order to be applying for the credit card that meets our needs.

Malaysia for Higher Education

Malaysia has become a destination for higher education as more and more foreigners get enrolled in our public and private institutions of higher learning. Malaysia is targeting 15,000 enrollments for the next three years, more than double that of the current enrollment. The large number of Chinese students pursuing their studies in the country shows that Malaysia and courses offered by its higher learning institutions are attractive to foreigners.

Food in Malaysia is safe to consume

If you are a visitor to our lovely country and wondering as to the safety of food found here, our Health Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, told reporters recently that the quality of imported food is safe because of constant monitoring at 36 entry points with the cooperation of the Customs Department and other agencies. This was as reported by The Star. Food found to have contravened our food regulations have been rejected, returned or destroyed by the authorities.

Blister Treatment

New shoes sometimes give us blisters. In fact, some of us still get blisters with old shoes. I normally treat them with regular plasters but I know they are not so effective. I recently came to know about ENGO Patches and they have received the National Health & Wellness Club Seal of Approval.

Sample patches given out received rave reviews from testers. With this wonderful product, no one need be wary of wearing new shoes anymore. Sports performance will improve and social life will be more fun not having to contend with foot blisters because ENGO patches not only prevent blisters, they also relieve pain to help healing faster. They are long-lasting, easy to use and guaranteed effective or your money back. With ENGO Patches, Blister Treatment will never be the same again.

Malaysia Urgent Need to Recycle Waste

With 25,600 tonnes of waste being produced daily, Malaysians will have no choice but to urgently put in more effort to recycle our waste. With waste production projected to grow by 3.6% each year, he said landfills would be at full capacity by 2020.

Our Prime Minister, at the National Recycling Day, spoke about the idea of “first-class infrastructure, third-class mentality”, and how this was illustrated in the way Malaysians treated the environment. More...The Star

Bridge to link Malaysia and Indonesia

If found to be viable, Malaysia will be linked to Indonesia via a 37km bridge from Malacca to Dumai in Indonesia. Feasibility studies are underway. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi urged the state to reconsider all aspects before deciding if a bridge should be built, as the cost involved was very high.

According to the Star, the Malacca-Dumai bridge was proposed in the mid-90s when Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was the prime minister but the matter was put on hold following the Asian financial crisis in 1997.

A Garage Make-over


A garage is an extension of a home. It can be used as a storage room besides being a place to park a car or two. Being a place where people spend many hours tinkering around with their vehicles, I feel a garage needs to be a conducive place to work in. A garage floor with excessive oil stains or a cracked concrete floor is certainly not a pleasant place to spend hours confined in. Luckily a make-over is possible with garage floors. They can be coated with epoxy or floor tiles that can last for years and are easy to maintain. Just what our garage needs.

New Ruling on Entry into Libya

One Sen coin to be discontinued

Just like the RM1 coin that has been discontinued, come April 1 of next year, the RM0.01 sen will no longer be used. The one-sen coin will effectively become worthless. All prices will either be rounded up or rounded down to the nearest five sen.

For example, if the total amount to be paid is RM82.01 or RM82.02, it will be rounded down to RM82. However, if the total that has to be paid is RM82.03 or RM82.04, it will be rounded up to RM82.05.



All quarters will benefit from this move - consumers, businesses and the Government. Businesses will no longer have to handle the coins or ensure a ready supply, while consumers will also not have to worry about carrying the coins. The Government will save RM18mil which it spends yearly to mint these coins.

Jackie Chan's Cafe in Kuala Lumpur








If you are a Jackie Chan fan, you may want to visit his cafe the next time you visit Kuala Lumpur. Jackie Chan's Cafe has just been opened at the Starhill Gallery at the Muse Floor (Level 6).

If you patronize the cafe, you would also be doing a good deed as Jackie Chan has pledged 2% of the cafe's profits to go to charity organizations for disadvantaged children.

Jackie said that he wanted to make his cafe an affordable lifestyle joint that would allow people to enjoy coffee and snacks and, at the same time, contribute to charity. Each year, he would look for ways to raise money for charity. Do you wonder why Jackie has been listed by the international magazine, Forbes, as one of the world's ten most generous celebrities?

Shop with Discount Coupons

With escalating prices in everything, it takes a smart shopper to know what to do to cut corners and save money shopping. Online-shopping is one of the ways a shopper can save.

These days, almost everything can be bought over the Internet. For instance, Mondera has anything you need from baby clothess to books, to automotive products to flowers to even tech items like computers. Best of all is, coupons from Mondera will help you save. I'd say shopping online with Mondera discount coupons is a sure way to save, don't you?

Selamat Hari Raya


If you are in the city and are surprised that there is no traffic jam and no queue at the checkout counters at the mall, there could be only one reason. It is because today is the Muslim new year and Muslims around the country and in fact around the world have headed back to their families to celebrate this holiday.

If you are one who does not enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city, this is a time to savour the rare moment. Enjoy.

Let me take this opportunity to wish all who celebrate Aidil Fitri, Selamat Hari Raya.

Storage Solutions for Your Clutter

When it comes to clutter, I think there isn't anyone without any clutter in his or her home. No matter how neat we are, there is bound to be a few things that get piled up somewhere. I am guilty where books and magazines are concerned. It's about time I look into some storage solutions before I am consumed by the piles of reading material that are too good (in my opinion) to be discarded. You see, I like to reread books and go through magazines.

Make Madrid your Next Vacation Destination












Many of my friends love to travel in autumn. They cite the cool temperature and the autumn colors as the main reasons. Take Spain for instance. Autumn in Spain is the perfect season for enjoying the beauty and magic of their forests where at this time of year the trees change into warm inviting shades of ochre, orange, red and gold, myriad hues that give their mountains a unique appearance.

Think Spain and Madrid comes to mind. Madrid, Spain's capital, is a cosmopolitan city located at the geographical centre of the Iberian peninsular. Spain is rich in art and culture and it is home to many UNESCO World Heritage sites. Madrid alone has 73 museums housing great works of art by world-renown artists such as Picasso and Salvador Dali.

Madrid is never short of excitement. Its many pubs, bars, discos and flamenco clubs make up its happening nightlife. An excitement not to be missed when in Spain, is the San Isidro bullfighting festival.

So, why not make Madrid your next vacation destination? Hotels in Madrid are plentiful and there is one for every budget. The Internet provides easy access to lots of hotel news and updates. Shop around. You'd be surprised at the hotel news you will find to make your dream holiday a reality.

First Malaysian to go into Space

Today, October 10 2007, is going down as an important date in the history of Malaysia. At 9:22pm (Malaysian time), Dr Sheikh Muszaphar will be the first Malaysian to go into space.

The launch of the Soyuz will be keenly anticipated and watched live on tv. Malaysians around the world will be anxiously watching this momentous event.

A small step for man, a big step for Malaysia.

Remembering September 11


September 11 2001, will go down in history as a day of mourning - for the innocent thousands who lost their lives on that fateful day.
I watched a documentary yesterday on the events leading to the disasters, the events of the day itself and the aftermath. Terrorism is ugly. It spells devastation, loss, sadness. It changes peoples lives. Let's hope the world will never see anything like it again.

Ipoh airport to be upgraded

The under-utilised Sultan Azlan Shah Airport’s terminal building will be upgraded and the runway lengthened so that the airport can service low-cost carriers. Last year, low-cost carrier, AirAsia, stopped flights from here to Senai, citing the short runway as the reason.

Due to the short runway, the airport cannot take in larger planes such as A320 Airbus which is a popular aircraft among low-cost carriers. The upgrade would include extending the runway, upgrading the terminal building and control tower so that bigger planes could use the airport.

The airport now serves only weekly flights from here to Medan.

Approval has been given to low-cost carrier, Firefly, a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, to fly from Subang to Ipoh and Senai to Ipoh. Firefly would be using turbo propeller planes from Italy for the sector and is expected to take delivery of the new planes by the third-quarter of next year.

Are you looking for reading tutors?

Like all mothers, my girlfriend Joyce, wants to give her little girl, Mary, a headstart on her academic education, so she started teaching Mary how to read even before she was three-years-old. Mary is now five.

Like Joyce, I would also be concerned and place emphasis on my child's ability to read. So, I looked up on reading tutors and found a Learning Center with very competent and professional teachers. They take in children from 4 right up to 14. The tutors at SCORE! take an active, hands-on approach to tutoring and their system is designed to help children succeed, at the same time making sure that the children enjoy the learning. This is the type of learning center I would send my child to, for sure, to get a headstart on reading.

Loving Math (finally)

I was happy to hear from a girlfriend who last year with her family emigrated to the US. I have not heard from her in months and I was beginning to get concerned. She attributed the lack of communication to the stress she and her husband went through with their children's education. Her two school-going children had been doing badly in school, especially in math.

She was happy that that was in the past as they are now coping well with the subject ever since they joined SCORE! Learning Center near their home. My girlfriend is all sold on the programmes offered by SCORE! seeing the progress her children has made. Their math tutors are professional and dedicated and easily transformed their children's abilities thus instilling confidence in them. They are beginning to love math. What a change!

The Importance of an Innovative Tutor

My girlfriend and her family just moved to the States after her husband got transferred. They are now in Texas and will be there for at least three years. In one of her emails, she mentioned that their little girl, Mary, aged 8, has just started school but was not doing too well trying to adjust to school life there. Fortunately, they found a good Innovative Tutor who was able to get Mary coping well with her schoolwork. What a relief it was for my girlfriend and her husband. One load of their mind.

The game of paintball is fast catching on here in Malaysia. Of late, there have sprung up, a few new paintball centers. So if you are a paintball enthusiast and have just relocated to Malaysia, you can still continue to pursue your interest in this exhilirating game.

I have not participated in a paintball game but I have seen my friends play the game and I noticed that they use Spyder paintball guns. If you have left your equipment back home, no worries as there is this site I know that carries a comprehensive supply of paintball equipment and stuff.

I understand there are a number of paintball guns in the market including Tippmann, Spyder, Smart Parts, Dye, Draxxus and many more.

Are You A Survivor?


I love watching the telly. When I travel, one of the things I would miss is the good ole tv. I find that you learn quite a bit of things on tv. Remember that tv series, McGyver? It was one of my very favorite series. Do you remember him? The guy who was able to get himself out of any situation? Boy, was he a survivor. And I have learned much from watching that series. Talk about resourcefulness and taking advantage of the common items and situations around you.

If I were to be stranded in a city with no resources, I wouldn't know what to do. Actually, I haven't given it much thought but if that were to happen, I would first look for shelter in some home and help out in exchange for the shelter. Then I'd go to some eatery to seek employment. That should take care of food in the meantime. I believe no one can go hungry or shelterless if one puts some commonsense and hardwork into good use.

Back to McGyver, I hear there is a new show along the same line, USA Network's Burn Notice. It's about a CIA Operative or spy, Michael Westen, who was fired while on an assignment. He has no idea who would want him dead and he's determined to find out. Having no resources and no one to turn to, he began to help those who the police can't or won't, in order to fund his ongoing personal investigation. Miami, his hometown, is where he heads to. Check out this exciting new series and learn how he survives.

It will take awhile before the series come to our shores but I expect a great series with thrills and spills and lots of lessons to be picked up.

By the way, what's a Burn Notice you might ask. It is an official statement by one intelligence agency to other agencies, domestic or foreign, that an individual or group is unreliable.

Burn Notice premieres Thursday, June 28 at 10/9C on USA Network and stars Jeffrey Donovan as agent Michael Westen. The cast includes stars Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbell and Sharon Gless.

"No Smoking Please"

According to The Star, the Health Ministry will ban smoking at more places once the “no smoking” rule at 19 designated areas is fully enforced.

The 19 areas include hospitals/clinics, public lifts and toilets, air-conditioned restaurants, public transport, government premises, educational institutions, petrol stations, Internet cafes and shopping complexes.

Malaysians will need to be more disciplined as at present, many still broke the law on no smoking in designated areas.

Math Tutoring

A colleague, Sam, was transferred to a sister-company in the United States, Texas, to be exact. His family of wife and two school-going children joined him.

Fortunately, Sam was recommended SCORE by his colleague.

NRD to open weekends at Maju Junction

In an article on May 29, The Star reported that civil servants at the National Registration Department (NRD) have decided to work during weekends at the busy Maju Junction branch here.

How to win a BMW



Recently, someone I know won a BMW in a lucky draw. How cool is that? I'd like to win something like that too, a car and a BMW at that. I need a new car to replace the one that I have which is giving me problems of late. So, a new BMW would just be a dream come true. And I know one place where I can stand a chance to win a BMW 3 Series, plus there is a host of other great prizes that can be won. And the best part is, you can win it just by bidding for it.

This auction has a fun twist to it, that is, the person with the lowest bid is the winner of the item. Any lowest bid that is unique, meaning that your bid is the only one and no one else bids that amount, wins the prize. The best part is, your 0.01cent bid could be the winner of the prize that you are bidding for. Yes, winning can be that simple and that big-ticket item that you've always wanted could be yours for a cent, a few cents or even a few dollars. What then are you waiting for? Start placing your bids today for the prize you want. The more bids you place, the better chances of you winning that prize.
