Getting in the mood with flash drive

The Chinese New Year is coming and everyone busy preparing, especially businesses to take advantage of the festive season. This is the season which would normally temp us, the consumer to spend our hard earn money. I was a victim myself, I was at a computer hardware shop the other day, and I was attracted by a small little gadget. It was a Kingston 2GB USB Flash Drive. Its not any ordinary flash drive, its a Limited Edition Flash Drive, which is coated with red and gold colour. It even has a Rat picture engrave on it. I've took a photo of my new gadget for your viewing pleasure.

For RM48 which is rather expensive for a 2GB Flash Drive, but hell its worth it considering the nice design it comes with, a five year warranty, password protection(it has a factory installed security program in it which remain in the flash drive even after formating.) and best of all, its limited edition.

By the way, the year of the RAT is the 1st year out of twelve of the Chinese Calander. Thus it is very likely that Kingston might come up with a limited edition flash drive with an Ox engrave on it. If it does, it will definatelly be on my to buy list. If you think want to get this cool gadget for yourself, be sure you get it before they run out of stock. Several computer stores around KL and PJ has run out of stock. So good luck hunting.

Renewing your driving licence online

If you've read the today's paper, namely The Star newspaper, you would have notice the title "The best kept e-secret at JPJ" on the 3rd page. Well the article wrote about an e-service by JPJ a.ka Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan which enable Malaysian drivers to renew their licences online.

Huh, since when the Malaysian Transport Department became so advance? Well, despite having spend several million of tax payers ringgit into an advance online system to make licences renewal hassle free to the rakyat(citizen), little effort (or should I say no effort) has been taken to promote this advance service to the rakyat. That's the reason why the Malaysian Transport Department's front desk counter and the Pos Office is always crowded with people queuing to renew their licence so that they could save on the duit kopi(bribes given to police officers who are always seen roaming around Malaysia's road to catch traffic offender).

Anyway, let's get back to the main subject. After having read the news on the paper, I decided to check out the JPJ Portal. In case your driving licence is near expiry, I strongly advice you to try out this service to save you your precious time and hassle getting through the wild Malaysian Traffic Jam. If you want to renew your licence, you can do so by clicking here, which will take you directly to the licence renewal site.(Honestly, I don't get any commission for writing about this).

The website design is pretty clean with just a few column to be filled up. First of all, you need ID No(National Identification Card No), follow by selecting your category(whether you are a Citizen, non-citizen, Permanent Resident, Police Force or the Arm Forces). You will also need to provide your current licence's expiry date, Renewal Period(ranging from 1, 2, 3, or 5 years), follow by your contact such as Mobile No as well as email address. Then you will need to select your collection method, either its via Delivery (you will have to provide mailing address and pay for the delivery charges), Collecting at e-service center(you will have to select from the collection center from the drop down menu) or you may also choose the option Do not Require Renewal Slip (which require you to go to the JPJ State Branch Office to upload your licence data into your MyCard).

Now comes to the most important part, PAYMENT. The portal give you 3 alternative to make your payment for the renewal. You can choose to pay via Credit Card, MyEG Prepaid or FPX(Direct Debit). Don't ask me what the last 2 option is or how it works, cause no explanation were provided on the portal.

I will definitely try it out went my Driver's Licence expire end of this year. If you have tried it, kindly share your experience with me and my readers. Thanks.

**Please take note that this is not an advertorial and I shall not be liable for any losses which you may incur while trying out the service mentioned above. Try it at your own risk. lol

First major deal a success

Yes, yes, I went to meet the client yesterday morning and the meeting took 3 hours before I finally got the deal signed. Yes, its one of my most precious deal which I have been working my ass on for the past 2 and a half months and its finaly paying off. After all the hard work, determination and perseverance, this success is definatelly a sweet one, the best CNY gift I could have.

The conclusion of this deal would mean that I've successfully out performed my performance target by 100% for Jan 2008 and it surely motivates me to work even harder for the rest of 2008. Gosh, I'm so excited now, I cant wait to sign more deals.... lol

My first major deal in DIGI.

In less than 24 hours, I'll be going over to my clients place to close a major deal. A deal which I've been working on since the 2nd week I join the company. The conclusion of the deal tomorrow will be a major milestone for me. The deal will also help project my monthly performance level 100% above the expected level. Dam I cant wait to sign the deal tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that nothing funny happen at the very last minute or even second.

Why am I so eager to close this major deal? Well its been slightly more than 2 months since I join the organisation, and I have yet to prove my self worthy to company. Having close this deal will definitely help me stand out of the crowd, attract the attention of my superior and not to mention the superb monetary reward structure the organisation adopt. Oh ya, before I forgot, its not just about the money, being a typical china man that I'm, its not all about money, but rather the face value(reputation and fame).

So, please pray hard for me and wish me luck people.

5 reason why the Pak Lah should not call for an election.

These are the 5 reason why I think Pak Lah shouldn't call for an early election.

5.) Public confidence in the ruling government has eroded tremendously due exposure 2 highly profiled video, namely Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua and Lingam

4.) Should an election be called and the ruling party continue to win with majority, the PM will be expected to cut fuel subsidy further, resulting in at least 50sen to RM1 increase in pump price. (imagine paying RM2.97 per liter compared to RM1.97 per liter now)

3.) The bullrun on the Bursa Malaysia has just began, an election will bring an end to the bullrun. The general economy of a country will normally mirror the stock market thus putting the country's economy at risk.

2.) The value of ringgit has been rising against the dollar because foreign investors are pumping in cold hard cash into Malaysia. An early election might put investor off as government often make major changes after gaining fresh support from an election.

1.) Average wage earner like me and you will suffer from the increase in cost of living, due to the widely expected reduction of fuel subsidy which will turn into a domino effect, causing all fuel based product to increase in cost. Thus making life difficult as the cost of living rises more than the peanut our employers give us.

So do you think we should have an early election after reading the 5 reason which i wrote randomly?
