1Nation... People erm no, Price First!

If you happen to live in Malaysia by now the shock wave of 5-in-1 price hike: Fuel, sugar and gas up should have hit you. Sometime one really wonders how do they make decisions...

We would also like to take this opportunity to introduce the new experimental Brick World Comics blog site which is aiming to cater the "I only want to read the comics" crowd who might find the jumping between our blogs a tedious task. Do let us know what you think!

What are the odds?

So the octopus did it, 8 out of 8 matches are correctly predicted. Where else is there to say? All hail Paul the psychic octopus!

Mamak in the 21st Century

Past Tense Indeed

Recent survey would tell you as a normal citizen who wish to retire in a city with comfort you would need a huge amount of money. By simple math it will show most people simply cant reach that figure. Read yahoo's latest How to retire with a million dollars. It recommends "By age 55, your retirement portfolio should be at $400,000".

Let us assume you have 20 years to get the figure from scratch, $400,000 / (20x12) = $1666.66 pure savings a month, now I won't know if that number is a coincidence, but for a normal joe it is simply a piggy bank too far to reach. At any rate by the time you are really 55 (assuming 20++ years from now) one can really doubt if a million dollars will be enough for you to retire in style.

In short, 95% of the world's population can't really afford to retire.

That was an Extra blue Monday

The open secret is any one who is into soccer here is almost a English Premier league fan, the defeat of England VS Germany in 4-1 would certainly disappoint the legions of fans locally, resulting in an extra blue Monday in the following day.
