garage sale

saya memang suka barangan 2nd hand ni dan masa duduk sunway dulu biasa gak pegi garage sale kat amcorp mall yang masa tu pun baru nak hidup tapi la ni tempat tu dah terkenal especially setiap hujung minggu untuk acara garage sale yang mendapat sambutan yang baik dari kalangan penduduk. Bila duduk SU ni kira malas la nak pegi sana kira dah jauh la tapi alhamdulillah sekarang dah mula jadi trend untuk buat jualan 'garage sale' atau car boot sale dan aku pasti tertunggu next program yang akan di adakan. Jika pada tahun lepas su.net ada mengadakan program sebegini di depan pasaraya 10to10 dan baru-baru ni komunitiku juga ada buat program garage sale ni dan pastinya banyak barangan menarik yang di jual. nak tau apa aku pernah beli...

radio ni aku beli masa jualan garage sale komuniti cemara west baru-baru ni dengan harga RM40 je, walaupun lama tapi aku suka model macam ni...sound dia sedap

...at last aku decide untuk letak kat bilik aku kat ofis


yang ni lak aku beli masa su.net buat garage sale dan harganya hanya RM30 je...pure cooper


....ada beberapa koleksi ku, barangan terbuang tapi bila di bersihkan masih cantik dan menarik lagi.....ada pepatah kata "sampah kita harta orang lain".

Unique building

ING Group Headquarters
Amstelveenseweg 500
Amsterdam
The Netherlands

Meyer & Van Schooten Architecten 2002

This building is for the ING (banking) Group and is used as their headquarters. As a headquarters building, it is required to represent the ideals of the company, which are fast moving, transparency, innovation, eco-friendliness, and openness.


Meyer & Van Schooten Architecten were awarded the project after a competition that ING Group organized. A number of young Dutch architects were invited by ING Group to participate in the competition.

The main portion of the building is elevated off the ground by stilts that range in height between 9 to 12.5 meters. Due to the proximity to the A10 ring road (the main highway in Amsterdam), people traveling along it have a good view of the building. Also with elevated height the offices' view will not be obstructed the elevated A10 ring road.

The majority of the building has glass as the façade to give the building a high level of transparency and openness. In order to avoid heat loss or overheating as a result of the amount of glass on the façade, a double skin system is incorporated. The 2 layers of glass sandwich a layer of still air to control the temperature differences between the inside environment and the outside. This configuration also helps to reduce the noise coming in from the A10 ring road.

The combination of the tilting stilts on the bottom and the overall shape of the building, it makes it look as if the building is in motion.

The shape of the building has earned a few nicknames for it - "shoe", "space ship", and it even has a resemblance to walking city in Archigram. No matter what the nickname, the building has definitely become one of the landmarks for the city.

Manusia terkaya di malaysia

Data terbaru berdasarkan laporan yang terpampang di dada akhbar di malaysia pada hari ini. Kekayaan mereka yang berlipat ganda dan jumlah kekayaan mereka berambah berbanding pada tahun lalu. tahniah buat mereka yang menduduki carta tersebut dan 2 orang bos aku pun ada tersenarai juga, tahniah boss semoga terus success dan jangan lupa pada kami di bawah ni. Tapi yang menghairankan aku betul ke kayaan mereka ini dan bukan di tokok tambah agar nama mereka tersenarai di sini? bagi aku agak di ragui di sebabkan antara mereka yang terkaya dalam top 20 tu adalah mereka yang tak layak tersenarai kerana bagi ku hidupnya menyusahkan orang lain saja maksud ku hutang yang tak berbayar tapi masih tersenarai juga dan aku lihat perniagaannya juga hampir bungkus berdasarkan perbualan dengan para pekerjanya yang dah beberapa bulan tak dapat gaji.

Tiger year 2010....chinese perspective

The first day of the Chinese New year 2010 is Sunday, Feb 14, 2010 - the year of the Tiger, according to the Chinese Zodiac. It is said that the Chinese Zodiac which designates the lunar new year cycle was introduced by Emperor Huang Ti in 2600 BC. Thus the year 2010 on the western calendar is the Chinese lunar year 4708. By tradition, there is a Spring festival that lasts 7 to 15 days to start the new year. Twelve animal names are used in the Chinese Lunar calendar to represent a 12 year cycle. This year's animal, the Tiger, is the third in the cycle, following the Rat and the Ox.


Tigers are physically powerful, gracious, independent and brave, they are extremely bold animals. They are friendly and loving but can also selfish and short tempered. Tigers seek attention and power; frequently they are envious in a relation. Tigers live dangerously which often leads to trouble. They are intolerant, take risks and are always searching for excitement. Tigers are also instilled with a good dose of courage. The Tiger has an overpowering attraction and is very kind and always takes on the character as protector. The Tiger flourishes by power and attention and takes advantage of all circumstances it gets itself into. The Tiger is a natural leader and loves to be the center of attention. As a rebel it goes up against authority and speaks out about wrongs in society, and willingly puts up objections. Even if you don’t agree with the beliefs of the tiger you admire his way to protest.

....bila sang suria terbit di pagi hari maka di sinilah segalanya bermula dalam kehidupan kita. Selagi bernafas dan berpijak di bumi yang nyata ini selagi itulah kita perlu meneruskan kehidupan ini. Susah....senang.....gembira.....sedih....sakit....sihat...itulah asam garam kehidupan. Alhamdulillah aku masih mampu berdiri di sini, amin

berat sama di pikul...

bila agak2nya kali terakhir kita berganding bahu menjayakan program kemasyarakatan di tempat kita? tapi ramai yang berpendapat bahawa program gotong royong kekadang memberi bebanan kepada seseorang dan mereka merasakan antaranya;
- alah kita bayar orang je buat kerja2 ni
- malas la nak join... nak rehat dgn famili la
- tak pa ramai lagi yang boleh buat kerja ni...lain kali aku join la
- ahhh buat penat badan je la
- buang masa je la
- kau nak buat...buat je la jangan la sebuk nak suruh orang join pulak
- its my own business
apa lagi alasan yang rasanya orang akan bagitau kita yek? terpulang lah kepada anda semua yang penting program sebegini amat penting dalam menghidupkan semangat kejiranan anda
