Well, good luck for those who are taking SPM last year. I heard that over four thousand students get straight-As in all subjects. I hope you are one of them~!
12DailyPro is officially a Ponzi Scam
The infamous 12DailyPro autosurf program finally charged with with fraud for running a Ponzi scheme. This means that 12DailyPro website will be shut down permanently after this.
Well, tough luck for the unlucky investors. Please do not support ponzi-like scheme, I guess people should know better about this, HYIP (High Yield Investment Program) and autosurf program is most likely (if not all) a ponzi scheme. So becareful when somebody recommends you to join money-making schemes like this.
From Wikipedia entry,
HYIPs typically are not based in the United States, Europe, or Japan – countries that have strong laws against unregistered investment programs. HYIPs disclose little or no detail about the principals, management, location, or other aspects of whom is getting the money to be invested, and relatively little information (other than asserting that they do various types of trading on various stock and other exchanges) on how their investment programs actually work.
Sounds familiar?

Valentine’s Day, cards and flowers
Uh oh, It’s the second month of the year (February) and Valentine’s day is around the corner! It is a day which lovers in let each other know about their love, commonly by sending Valentine’s cards, flowers, candy, chocolates and other stuffs that would show their love.
Why do people celebrates Valentine’s day? Well don’t ask me about it, to me it’s another propaganda set by businesses in order to shoot the sales of the above-mentioned items, especially greeting cards and flowers. Celebrating valentine’s day is no more than wasting my time and energy by flushing my hard-earned money down the toilet drain.
I even read in Wikipedia that it is estimated approximately one billion valentine cards are sent each year world wide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association also estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.
While in my believe that Valentine’s day is just another commercial propaganda, the origin of Valentine’s Day is somewhat vague at best with several stories on why people celebrate the day in the middle of February. Several sources includes : 1,2,3.
Personally, I think Valentine’s day is overrated and just another great ploy to get us to fork our money out unnecessarily for cards and candy, you don’t need a specific day to show your love to your lover, because if you do, then something is awfully wrong with you.
p/s: I only learned that Valentine’s day is celebrated on 14th of February about a couple of hours ago, yeah sounds unimportant isn’t it?
Today is 29th Jan, Oh yeah Happy Chinese New Year.
Happy Lunar New Year!!
Happy Chinese New Year dan Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru Hijrah (1427)
Hope the new year will bring peace and prosperity for all of us.
