Salam and hello everyone. I think most Malaysian are already aware of this new model of Myvi from Perodua as some pictures are already revealed in TV3 couple of days ago. Well, nothing new can be seen except the exterior looks and some interior modification. This new MyVi still used 1.3L engine which has bring down some people who expect a new 1.5L of engine will be used in this new MyVi. However, Perodua claims this new MyVi has excellent fuel economy, smooth pick-up and acceleration, cleaner gas emissions with minimal vibration noise with the implementation of EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) engine.

You can proceed to Perodua website here for more photos and pictures of this new 2011 Perodua MyVi, for both standard version and MyVi Elegance version. However, the price of MyVi Elegance version start from RM53,900.00. The Elegance version of MyVi is like the previous version of MyVi S.E (Special Edition) from the exterior, however the interior has been upgraded with centralized multimedia system with touch panel display; a pretty competitive sort of accessories for a compact car I can say.

p/s: So, what do you think? For me, nothing special except the interior of MyVi Elegance.

Salam and hello to all. If you still don’t know Malaysia’s national car manufacture, Proton is currently developing their own concept car or maybe will go into production soon, here I tell you. The name of new Proton’s concept car is EMAS which stand for “Eco Mobility Advance Solution” and for the first time, it was shown at Geneva International Motor Show. Proton EMAS, it is a great name in my opinion.

This Proton EMAS concept car is the result of Proton collaboration with Lotus and Italdesign-Giugiaro, and as you can see from several pictures that I have shared below, only one word pop up in my mind “WOW!”. Something totally different from what Proton have produced before. I know some of you may say this is the result of foreign company, but well, knowing that this car is the result of collaboration of engineers from Proton and Lotus and designer from Italdesign-Giugiaro, I think as Malaysian, we should proud of this result. Well, I don’t know you, but me, I’m proud of it.

Well, just enjoy the pictures and leave some of your comments, words, opinions or maybe constructive critics about this new Proton EMAS concept car. All the pictures below are credited to Paultan.org and respected photographers who photograph these pictures.

I’m just hoping Proton will do mass production for this car, even I know it is still “concept” which is most probably won’t be produced. However, if Proton decided to mass produce it, I would be proud to drive it. Price? Wait and see or do you have any expected price in your mind? Do mind to share?

Salam and hello everyone. I just want to share this interesting information about a rare phenomenon that is expected to happen this Friday, 15th January 2010, which is the first partial solar eclipse for 2010.

Then, it will across Asia from Bangladesh, India Myanmar and China. Hence, in Malaysia, people will be able to see this phenomenon this Friday as early as 3.00pm until 5.45pm. So, grab this rare chance.

So, how to see this phenomenon? Before I continue, let me give a warm warning to you. DO NOT SEE DIRECTLY TO THE SUN WITH NAKED EYE. Doing so may damage your eye or even worse, may result you go blind. So, please don’t. Listed below are few safe ways on how to see this eclipse phenomenon:

Salam and hello to all readers. I just finished my Power System Analysis test tonight. Well, even it was just a common test, I can’t take it easy. Every test and result will be accumulated as carry mark for my final exam paper soon, so I must do all the best and that was what I did.

So, I know I’m late to bring up this entry even I know there are a lot of hits to this blog comes from this keyword “Tema Merdeka 2009“. Well, I’m really sorry to all readers who are looking for it, but can’t find what you want here. As an apologize, for those who are looking for “Tema Merdeka ke-52 2009“, here is the answer.

The theme for this year 52nd Malaysia National Day is “1 Malaysia, Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan” and the logo for this year National Day is as what you see below. For me, this year logo has simple look, but easy to catch the message behind the logo. Agree with me?

And here is the song of 1 Malaysia created by Nik Nizam and Errie Naham and lyric by Lokman Ghani. The lyric for this song is as below.

Satu Malaysia
.
Berdiri, Teguh di bumi
Nyata pupuk semangat satu Malaysia
Sepakat, Rakyat didahulukan
Pencapaian diutamakan
.
Perpaduan, Mendapat rahmat
Toleransi kaum amalan bersama
Kejayaan, Kita bangunkan
Satu Malaysia
.
Dalam capai satu tujuan
Tanggungjawab kita semua
Jadi teras bangsa mulia
Kita bina Satu Malaysia
.
Satu Malaysia jadi pegangan
Rukun negara teras panduan
Satu Malaysia benteng negara
Rakyat Malaysia taat setia
.
Satu Malaysia untuk semua

Well, hopefully the information shared here may help you and I’m sorry for the late of sharing this information.

But, up until today, I yet seen any Merdeka advertisement by Petronas which always directed by Allahyarhamah Yasmin Ahmad before this. I don’t know who is the right person to replace her, maybe no one can replace her. She has brilliant idea of delivering the message and always make us to think about the message she is trying to deliver. Agree with me?

Ok, till next entry. Bye!

p/s: I support 1 Malaysia! Are you?

Salam and hello everyone. Looking at previous entry in this blog and what come across my mind is, what the heck?! The last entry was posted on 6th of July and it was about 2 weeks ago, and somehow, I don’t know what is happening. Sorry guys for lack of updates recently. Ya, I admit I’m not so active in blogging lately, not because there’s no issue to write, but I have something else to do. You know what I mean, right?

Well, some of you might have watched the friendly match between Malaysia and Manchester United last Saturday and some of you might be at Stadium Bukit Jalil to watch it for live. But for me, I just watched it at home on comfort sofa, hence I don’t have to bang my head to car steering because of the very congested traffic after the match. Haha! Thanks to Astro Supersport because broadcast this great match. Don’t you think the same? It was a great match, isn’t?

The result is 2-3, which 2 goals for Malaysia and 3 goals for Manchester United. What an impressive result! I didn’t watch the last match between Malaysia and Chelsea, but to fight with this Red Devils football team and came out with this result, we as Malaysian should be proud of it. Ya, I can say this is the best football match I ever watch from Malaysia team. Do you agree with me?

The first goal from Malaysia by Amri Yahya for me was awesome. It is very rare to see Malaysian football player to come out with this kind of goal. Well, that is my opinion that is not a football die-hard fan. And for me, the whole Malaysia team played really well with full of spirit. Agree with me? Hehe. If you want to watch how the goal looks like, you can search it in Youtube. I’m sure you’ll find one.

I hope Malaysia team will keep improving their play style like what we have seen during the match against Manchester United last Saturday and the mission for team Malaysia to play in World Cup will be a reality.

p/s: How many of you are going to watch the second match between Malaysia and Manchester United this Monday night?
p/p/s: How many of you will wear Malaysia football team jersey instead of Manchester United jersey this Monday night?

Salam and hello all. Just a short entry from me to say my condolences for the death of one talented artist, Michael Jackson or his Islam name, Mikael Jibril. Please correct me if I got this information wrongly. I have watched news on television tonight and his brother’s statement about Michael Jackson’s death somehow at the end likely said, Michael Jackson had already a Muslim before his death. After I’m asking some feedback from my friends on Twitter, I got some verifications about this and some of them have responded positively, Michael Jackson is already a Muslim. Hence, Al-Fatihah to him.

I’m not a big fan of Michael Jackson, but I’ve listened his song before and I like some of his songs. Even though I can’t remember the song’s titles even one.

UPDATE! Michael Jackson (Mikaeel Jibril) is already a Muslim before his death. Here are some sources that prove he is a Muslim.

• Daily Mail
• The Sun
• The News.Com
• News 24.Com

p/s: Twitter has crowded with so many tweets about Michael Jackson’s death and somehow even Google has slowed down because of too many search from over the globe about his death. Read more here.
p/p/s: Don’t question why he died unexpectedly because death is naturely unpredictable and we as human must always be ready for it. Every day, hour, minute and second. When HE wants us back to HIM, HE just do it as HE has planned.
p/p/p/s: One of this blog reader has left a comment here about some rumors regarding the death of Michael Jackson, but the link is broken. May you please repost the link?

Salam and hello all. It was about 2 weeks there is no update, no new entry from this blog and the traffic to this blog has gone down drastically but still not so bad. Well, no blog update no traffic. Agree with me? Anyway, the reason behind this is because I’ve to concentrate on my final exam week which has ended yesterday. And the last paper for yesterday was Principles of Management, which for me quite tough with a lot of information, terms, principles, concepts and definitions you need to understand and remember. Compare to another paper that I have taken during this special semester, Economic Engineering, I love it even though it wasn’t so easy, but since it plays a lot with number and less stuff to remember, I don’t have problems with it. Now I wonder how those students who take Business Management remember all those facts, concepts and principles. Seriously, I suck at remembering things. Ok, lets all that be a memory. Hoho. Life must go on. I’m just hoping that everything will be okay when the result come out soon.

Ok, let’s go back to what this entry is all about. Do you know about this Nationwide Streamyx Service Interruption? I have been informed by ubey via Twitter last week about this matter and wonder why TM only announced it via their Streamyx website, rather than put it in newspapers, etc. Can you imagine, how many Streamyx users will go check Streamyx website for Streamyx service status? I think TM should be more alert on this matter, not all their customers will go check their website for service status, they should use more effective way to inform about this kind of news. Via newspapers perhaps? Email? If TM can generate million of profit per year, they should put some budget on this kind of thing. Anyway, for those who is yet read about it, here I quoted the original news from Streamyx website.

STREAMYX SERVICE INTERRUPTION NATIONWIDE
Dear Valued Customers,
We wish to inform our Streamyx customers that Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) will be performing a network upgrading exercise from 11.00 pm, Friday, 12th June 2009 until 6.00 am, Saturday, 13th June 2009.
As a result, Streamyx customers nationwide may experience a disruption of service during the stipulated period. We would like to assure you that the service would resume to normal after this period.
TM apologizes for any inconvenience caused whilst the same time, we would like to assure you that we are upgrading our network to enable us to serve you better.
Customers can call TM at 100 and select “Internet Services” or e-mail us at help@tm.com.my for any Streamyx related problems.
Thank You.

Usually, when users face the problem of no internet connection, users will contact that 100 number and usually during this period, it will end up with no answer. The answer that you’ll get is, none of their staff is free to answer your call. I have experienced it before, I tried to contact their customer service for 4 hours and I got the same answer over and over again, no staff is free to answer you. Please try again?! What the heck? After that, I start wondering, how many staff they have to answer and solve our problem? If Streamyx really good on informing their users about the upgrades or any service interruption, the users will know already and they don’t have to call their service center. But the real is otherwise and because of this maybe inefficient way of delivering information to their customer, not all of their customer would know about the news and when the time comes, TM customer service will end up receiving a lot of calls until none of their customer service staff can handle these calls. Dear TM, do you know about these consequences? Or is it you just ignore it even you know it? Haha!

Even they have said the upgrading process is from 11p.m till 6a.m, but I’m sure it’ll take more longer. Anyway, I just hope that this upgrade process is not just an upgrade, but bring some changes. If the speed remains the same, slow video streaming, slow downloading from oversea sources and unstable connection, what’s upgrade means to them? Upgrade should result of improving their current service to serve better for their customer, if nothing is change, then I would say nothing has been upgraded.

p/s: First entry for June and this is 200th post.

Salam and hello everyone. Sorry for lack of updates recently. I’m currently busy rescheduling my time, plus, I have another test on Engineering Economics (COEB442) course this Thursday and yet do any proper preparation for it. So, I think I have to prioritize it first. My final exam will start in 2 weeks from now and I also have one assignment for my Principle of Management (COEB432) course, hence I’m going to be busy in the next 2 weeks from now. Ya, its time for books, books and books. Haha.

Actually, I want to share with you this interesting video about some interesting facts that you might know or maybe not. So, enjoy the video then and hopefully you’ll like it.

Until next entry, bye!

p/s: I suggest you watch the video until the end, its really interesting even though you might end up saying, “Of course it is like this bla bla bla…”
