The Rich Get Richer

Oni wat oku sentiasa pikir pasal ya nai dagang? It's been some time since I've posted anything for this blog coz I've been busy with the company's board papers (I don't write nor prepare any of the board papers but mappingwise - the bosses always ask for maps that I have to preapare ad-hoc!).  Nothing is predictable during 'board paper' season so I lay off the travelling for a bit and keep myself on standby mode. But in between assignments, I did find the time to contemplate about enterprising. There's an English proverb that goes, "While the rich get richer, the poor gets poorer." Now, think about it...why is that so? Why does the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer? With that question in mind, I took the liberty to gather this information: If you haven't already noticed, this is the list for Malaysia's wealthiest people in 2011. The top 5 never seems to budge that much and they just keep increasing their wealt

R.I.P. ALEXISONFIRE...

Oni wat band tih moh botah bih? Band of nerds... It was sometime in my June 2004 semester that me and a former college housemate was hanging loose in his rented house in Shah Alam's Section 24, and he was actually browsing through a host of music videos he copied from friends. I was lingering on the floor toying with an electric guitar.

There were the likes of At The Drive In playing Arc Arsenal live, In Flames with their My Sweet Shadow music video and then there was this one band called Alexisonfire . This was the first time I ever heard any of their songs in my life and the video I was watching was for the song Pulmonary Archery . Now the new millenium was the dawn of emo-screamo rock that descended after nu-metal faded from the mainstream scene. Ha

R.I.P. PETER...

Oni wat yoh perlu kobos?  His last breath... I don't know if many of you out there realise this but, Peter Benjamin Parker (Yes, Benjamin is Peter Parker's real middle name...go find out in Wikipedia is you don't believe me) just died in July in the Ultimate Sipderman Series: The Death of Spiderman . Personally, Peter's death was a bigger loss than Clark Kent's simply because I think Spiderman had a more appealing storyline, with a strong attachment to the real world. So guess who killed him? The Green Goblin of course...his age old nemesis. I was a comic junkie since I was 7 years old, and the first comic I read wasn't Mutiara Naga, Raja Rimba, Juara Wira or Pendekar Laut. It was actually The Spectacular Spiderman (and also The Dark Knight series) and to tell you the truth, I didn't have an easy time reading it coz, in the world of American brand comics, a superhero's story is intertwined in different layers and universes. I got the biggest hea
