official google logo (present)
for most of you guys who has been using google for a long time, you would found out that the interesting google logo changes occasionally through out the year according to celebrations, holidays or any special occasion.
for me, google is my starting homepage for my web browser.
therefore i always looking for new google doodle.
Google has had several logos since its renaming from “BackRub”. The current official Google logo was designed by Ruth Kedar, and is a logotype based on the Catull typeface. The company also includes various modifications and/or humorous features, such as cartoon modifications, of their logo for use on holidays, birthdays of famous people, and major events, such as the Olympics. These special logos, designed by Dennis Hwang, have become known as Google Doodles. –wikipedia

The first Google Doodle was a reference to the Burning Man Festival of 1998. The doodle was designed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to notify users of their absence in case the servers crashed. Subsequent Google Doodles were designed by an outside contractor, until Larry and Sergey asked then-intern Dennis Hwang to design a logo for Bastille Day in 2000. Hwang has been designing the Google Doodles ever since. –wikipedia
so to google team, keep up the good artwork!
just love it.

nike had been officially unveiled the malaysian national football team’s jersey last november 2008 for the AFF suzuki cup 2008 campaign in thailand.

ps.: not to be sarcastic, hopefully the malaysian football team plays as good as their jersey! (no offence!)
Sekalung tahniah diucapkan buat mawi dan ekin yang selamat diijab-kabulkan di masjid sultan abu bakar johor bahru pada hari sabtu lepas 20 disember 2008.
Mudah-mudahan ikatan yang dicipta berkekalan hingga akhir hayat.
Bukan mudah bagi pasangan suami isteri lebih-lebih lagi kedua-duanya adalah pasangan artis.
Perlayaran sebagai suami isteri bertambah cabaran dan pelbagai onak duri perlu ditempuhi sebagai suami isteri.
Moga mawi dan ekin boleh menjadi contoh teladan buat pasangan artis suami isteri.
Bukan hendak melemahkan semangat "raja sehari" yang baru mawi ekin.
Sudah menjadi satu kelaziman di mana peminat dan wartawan hiburan sememanganya akan mengikuti kehidupan peribadi pasangan suami isteri artis tersebut.
Segala cerita kehidupan peribadi pasti akan terpampang di dada-dada akhbar.
Bagi yang lemah pasti akan mengundang pecah belah di antara suami isteri yang mana akan mengundang perpecahan (perceraian) antara keduanya
Sekali gus akan menjadi buah mulut peminat dan akan mensensasikan akhbar hiburan utama negara.
Percayalah perkahwinan itu indahn namun segala onak dan duri harus diharungi bersama dengan tabah dan sabar

ROME, Feb. 7, 2007 – They died young and, by the looks of it, in love. Two 5,000-year-old skeletons found locked in an embrace near the city where Shakespeare set the star-crossed tale “Romeo and Juliet” have sparked theories the remains of a far more ancient love story have been found.(source)

Wartawan internet paling ramai dipenjara
Dec 5, 08 2:16pmWartawan dalam talian dan penulis blog kini lebih ramai mendiami penjara di seluruh dunia berbanding petugas media bukan Internet, lapor satu pertubuhan kebebasan media hari ini.
Jawatankuasa Melindungi Wartawan (CPJ), dalam bancian mutakhirnya, mendapati 45 peratus petugas media yang ditahan terdiri daripada editor dan wartawan dalam talian, serta pengendali blog.
“Wartawan dalam talian membentuk kumpulan profesional (media) buat pertama kali dalam bancian penjara CPJ,” kata pengarah eksekutif pertubuhan yang berpangkalan di New York itu, Joel Simon.
Daripada 125 wartawan yang dipenjara tahun ini, sekurang- kurangnya 56 wartawan Internet – pertama kali mengatasi wartawan akhbar yang mengalami nasib serupa.
Pemberita dalam talian yang pertama dikenakan hukuman penjara pada 1997.
Kumpulan berikutnya, 53 orang, terdiri editor akhbar, wartawan mdia cetak dan jurugambar.
Tahun lepas, 127 wartawan dihukum penjara di seluruh dunia.
Tambah Simon, sejak dua tahun lepas, pertubuhannya bersama syarikat Internet, pelabur dan kumpulan hak asasi berjuang mendesak kerajaan agar membuka ruang kebebasan di alam siber.
Dalam tempoh tersebut, kumpulan itu membentuk Global Network Initiative atau Inisiatif Jaringan Sejagat yang menyediakan garis panduan kepada syarikat-syarikat telekomunikasi dan Internet menjaga hak kebebasan di dunia maya.
Yahoo, Google dan Microsoft termasuk dalam jaringan tersebut, tambah CPJ.
Menurut laporan itu lagi, China masih lagi negara yang paling ramai memenjarakan wartawan diikuti oleh Cuba, Burma, Eritrea dan Uzbekistan daripada 29 negara yang berbuat demikian.
Kelima-lima negara ini terus-menerus berbuat demikian sepanjang penelitian CPJ, laporan itu dipetik.
the word “freedom of speech” is no longer suitable for the reporter that has been prison, it should be “prison of speech”.
F1 car is made up of 80,000 components, if it were assembled 99.9% correctly, it would still start the race with 80 things wrong
When an F1 driver hits the brakes on his car he experiences retardation or deceleration comparable to a regular car driving through a BRICK wall at 300km/h
F1 car can go from 0 to 160 km/h AND back to 0 in FOUR seconds
F1 car engines last only for about 2 hours of racing mostly before blowing up on the other hand we expect our engines to last us for a decent 20yrs on an average and they quite faithfully DO….that’s the extent to which the engines are pushed to perform…
An average F1 driver looses about 4kgs of weight after just one race due to the prolonged exposure to high G forces and temperatures for little over an hour (Yeah that’s right!!!)
At 550kg a F1 car is less than half the weight of a Mini.
To give you an idea of just how important aerodynamic design and added down force can be, small planes can take off at slower speeds than F1 cars travel on the track.
Without aerodynamic down force, high-performance racing cars have sufficient power to produce wheel spin and loss of control at 160 kph. They usually race at over 300 km/h.
In a street course race like the Monaco grand prix, the down force provides enough suction to lift manhole covers. Before the race all of the manhole covers on the streets have to be welded down to prevent this from happening!
The refuelers used in F1 can supply 12 liters of fuel per second. This means it would take just 4 seconds to fill the tank of an average 50 liter family car. They use the same refueling rigs used on US military helicopters today.
TOP F1 pit crews can refuel and change tyres in around 3 seconds. It took me 8 sec to read above point
During the race the tyres lose weight! Each tyre loses about 0.5 kg in weight due to wear.
Normal tyres last 60 000 – 100 000 km. Racing tyres are designed to last 90 – 120 km.
dry-weather F1 tyre reaches peak operating performance (best grip) when tread temperature is between 900C and 1200C.(Water boils boils at 100C remember) At top speed, F1 tyres rotate 50 times a second.
And that’s not Magic…
Its only a game…!
the convoy
1st test car
2nd test car
satria neo test car?
i took these pictures as on my way to banting town.
the convoy consisted of one persona, two test mpv, and a satria neo.
(hmm.. did proton plan to have a face lift to satria neo also? i didn’t know.)
as usual the test car was black-out in color in most of the exterior.
it look like almost like naza citra. (not as big as i thought it will be)
but i only managed to take the rear view of the mpv as i drove passed the convoy.
when do proton plan to launch their new “family” member to the market?
how much it will cost? did anyone have any ideas?
here is the show room mockup spyshot of the mpv.
side view
front view
rear view
can’t wait for the launch.
ps.: hopefully proton will tackle the quality issue!
Harga minyak petrol dan diesel masing-masing turun 10 sen seliter berkuatkuasa mulai tengah malam ini.

Manakala diesel dikurangkan daripada RM1.90 seliter kepada RM1.80 seliter.
Penurunan harga minyak bagi kali keenam ini diumumkan oleh Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi hari ini.
Katanya, keputusan untuk menurunkan lagi harga minyak dibuat ekoran harga minyak dunia yang turun secara ketara akhir-akhir ini.
Perdana menteri berkata, kerajaan telah membuat keputusan untuk sekali lagi mempercepatkan pengurangan harga runcit bagi membolehkan orang ramai menikmatinya.
Kali ini kerajaan menurunkan harga minyak sebanyak 10 sen seliter berbanding 15 sen sebelum ini.
World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. It is common to hold memorials to honor persons who have died from HIV/AIDS on this day. Government and health officials also observe the event, often with speeches or forums on the AIDS topics. Since 1995, the President of the United States has made an official proclamation on World AIDS Day. Governments of other nations have followed suit and issued similar announcements.

What is AIDS? Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a set of symptoms and infections resulting from the damage to the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk.This transmission can involve anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

cakra alam not considered in malaysia. cakra alam has appeared in on one of the tv3 show called “asia hebat”. the show featured all the amazing people in asia mostly in the south east asia region. in the video shown the amazing things that ust arief can do and the his ability to heal with his inner power strength. now cakra alam has been once become a nationwide issue as the video of a korean show accusing cakra alam has been practising “cheap magic tricks”.
judge by yourself (lu pikir la sendiri…!)
the video show how the body react when people is lying. the experts take the clinton’s sex scandal as example how clinton reacted when he made a statement denying that he had an affair with monica lewinsky.
Liars almost universally experience three psychological conditions:
1. Fear, misgivings, anxiety;
2. A strong desire to conceal the lie;
3. Internal conflict.
The intensity of each of these feelings depends on what he stands to lose if the truth is found out, and also on his moral conscientiousness level.
In this state of mind, the emotions will frequently leak, finding expression in micro-movements. The more of a conscience the liar has, the more anxious and the less skilled he will be – and the more indicators he will give.
Signs of Deception:
• Body Language of Lies:
• Emotional Gestures & Contradiction
• Interactions and Reactions
• Verbal Context and Content
• Other signs of a lie
Signs of Deception:
Body Language of Lies:
• Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space.
• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.
• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand.
Emotional Gestures & Contradiction
• Timing and duration of emotional gestures and emotions are off a normal pace. The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer it would naturally, then stops suddenly.
• Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and words. Example: Someone says “I love it!” when receiving a gift, and then smile after making that statement, rather then at the same time the statement is made.
• Gestures/expressions don’t match the verbal statement, such as frowning when saying “I love you.”
• Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, )instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.
Interactions and Reactions
• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.
• A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away.
• A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc.) between themselves and you.
Verbal Context and Content
• A liar will use your words to make answer a question. When asked, “Did you eat the last cookie?” The liar answers, “No, I did not eat the last cookie.”
•A statement with a contraction is more likely to be truthful: “ I didn’t do it” instead of “I did not do it”
• Liars sometimes avoid “lying” by not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of denying something directly.
• The guilty person may speak more than natural, adding unnecessary details to convince you… they are not comfortable with silence or pauses in the conversation.
• A liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone. When a truthful statement is made the pronoun is emphasized as much or more than the rest of the words in a statement.
• Words may be garbled and spoken softly, and syntax and grammar may be off. In other
words, his sentences will likely be muddled rather than emphasized.Related Books:
Other signs of a lie:
• If you believe someone is lying, then change subject of a conversation quickly, a liar follows along willingly and becomes more relaxed. The guilty wants the subject changed; an innocent person may be confused by the sudden change in topics and will want to back to the previous subject.
• Using humor or sarcasm to avoid a subject.
Obviously, just because someone exhibits one or more of these signs does not make them a liar. The above behaviors should be compared to a persons base (normal) behavior whenever possible.
