That was No Way to call a Lady

From our reader who blog in "A Malaysian Girl's Search for Herself" come another hilarious story where she received a call from a stranger. Her original story can be read in "Hello? Hello?".

We are also announcing the decision to use stories from our readers on random from time to time and making them into comic strips. The condition for this to happen is very simple, it is either you are a registered follower or have contributed linkage to our site and you have a blog of your own with materials which we think is suitable for our content. When a comic is made we will always try to link it back up to your original posting.

The Results Speak for Itself

Following the saga of this and this we couldn't resist to do a bit of street research ourselves so we did the natural thing which any street geek would do: an online poll.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the vote! Oddly, the result althought just a tiny sampling in the backwater part of the web, is anything but the officially reported "majority of the public reacted positively to the price hike". The truth is out there some where...

Sometimes the truth just ain't Romantic

Screw Up Massively and become a Millionaire

Yeah as a layman I will bet you heard of stories of workers getting salary cut, laid off and fired when he or she screws up big time. But as the story goes the top side aint playing fair at all, by real life example if you are on the top side after you screwwd up big and have to resign you still get paid big time -- I mean, why don't you and I have jobs like that? Read more in BP's Hayward to get £10.8m pension if he steps down.

May be this is how It got so Rich

So we already know the BP oil rig explosion incident which resulted in the most serious oil spill incident ever is a result of their cost cutting measures. Well recently a bunch of sharp eye people pointed out the photos of clean up command center BP released has been altered further fueling the conspiracy theory. You can see all the details here and here.

I dunno about you guys... the standard cover up story aside this for some reason also kinda highlight the plight of graphic design industry. Come on, if even BP won't pay up for a cover up op with a proper photoshop job (which is already been overflowing on the market) it shows you how low the standard corp/companies view towards the profession really is.

Rest Well, Buddy

The process of making a com ready to retire is always like a time trip to the past as you browse through all the files and it was like "oh man! These stuff is like from another life time..." when it was actually just 4 years ago. But then year 2006 definitely sounds like another age now.

You also get to realise a lot of stuff which you thought were important is actually junk in the long run, but ironically a lot of other stuff which you might have thought to be junk are now cherished memories.

But you didn't said we can't Report your Order

In the recent essential price hikes strangely missing are the word "price hike" on all major news papers titles, and here is the reason why. Kinda think of it, isn't that like the last panel in the comic when a man tells his son to reply on the phone but ended up looking worse?

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...
