The KLCI remained stuck below the 1300 pts resistance level yesterday with no major market moving news. For today, the rumour mill seems to be going into overdrive with media reported rumours of Intel potentially buying a minority stake in Green Packet and Boustead Heavy Industries close to clinching a RM200m contract to build a barge. Boustead is offering RM5.50 a share to take Boustead Properties private. News that might affect Sime Darby includes the IMPSA compensation claim for Bakun being termed excessive by the Deputy Finance Minister. Other Government related news includes the Transport Minister saying he will look into the current competition between AirAsia and MAS and the Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister saying that Malaysia may consider swapping palm oil for rice. Coastal Contracts secured a RM201m contract to build 2 offshore vessels while Petra Energy secured a RM50m contract from Felda for palm oil mill boilers. We expect the market to remain rangebound for today given the long weekend ahead. The 1300 pts resistance will remain key.</content>

The Perak DAP headquarters in Bandar Ipoh Raya was damaged when two unidentified men hurled a petrol bomb at it early this morning.

The incident, which happened at 2.20am, was witnessed by security guard Ammeri Ahmad, 45, who was on duty at a nearby school, and who then called the police.

There were no injuries reported as the building was empty and only two windows were damaged, said Ammeri.

The DAP office is located on the top floor of a two-storey shophouse. On the ground floor is an Indian-Muslim restaurant.

Ammeri said he saw two men throwing something at the windows of the DAP office that caused two loud explosions.

He said when he approached the shophouse the two men took off on a motorcycle.

Perak DAP chairman Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham said the incident appeared to be politically motivated and called on the police to conduct an immediate investigation into the incident.

“It is an attempt to burn the DAP office and is believed to be done by those who have elements of mischief towards the party,” he said after visiting the office.

Ngeh, who is also a senior state executive councillor, said this was the first incident of its type since the formation of the state coalition government after the March general election.

He urged the people to respect the coalition government as it was the people’s choice.

Ipoh deputy police chief Supt Idris Abdullah said police were looking into elements of mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to cause damage.

He said no suspect had been picked up.

Ipoh Fire and Rescue personnel were at the scene after receiving a call at 3am and carried out an inspection.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking about quiting blogging.

What is NH? Honestly, NH is nothing more than a shrine for my ex. Most of the stories here resembles our long gone relationship (4 years ago). I am an analytical guy. Somehow, this feeling, I don’t know how to comprehend. So I kept writing and writing, dwelling on the feelings she left me with. I don’t want that feeling to swallow me.

NoktahHitam, the initial idea was to be an emo blog, Titik Hitam to be exact. But I didn’t like the name, I could be mistaken for Tetek Hitam. Ugh, wouldn’t that be a sinful name?

So my dear readers, I’m sorry if I have eluded you with erratic symphony and melancholic writing style of mine. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

If you have any last words or encouragements before I quit, please leave them in my comment. How significant is NH to you? I will make my decision on Tuesday.

Warmest Regards, Edwin Masripan.

ps : Silent readers, time for you to speak up before its too late.

It was rather telling this evening, where other people's priorities are. When you know how loaded up somebody is with contractual deliverables (discussed over 8 hours of meetings already),due after the long weekend, you don't take the person's remaining available working hours to discuss an event 6 months away. It's a decision that pretty much condemns me to working over the long weekend.

Once I get some important milestones done for OSS and ODF in Malaysia in June, I'm planing to move on. There are exciting things to work on at Inigo and I'm looking forward to start doing UN consulting work again. I'll also have time with family again.

Nobody when they're dying ever wished they had spent more time at work

朋友说他对他的前女友有着一股无力感，
坦白说我除了对我的工作有无力感外，
我实在想象不到对一个人的无力感到底是什么一回事。

他说那种无力感就好像，当两人在闲话家常的时候，
因为朋友无心的一句话，那女生就会突然起火，
不睬他几个小时。

大家可以参考以下例子：

例子1
男：你如果想你的英文进步，你就要多读点英文读物。
女：你现在是不是在间接地说我的英文差？

例子2
男: 阿花今天穿得那么漂亮，是不是有Presentation？
女：你那么喜欢看她，去追她呀！

例子3
男：那天我买多了一本我喜欢看的书给你，你有空也看看哦！
女：你明知道我不喜欢看书，为什么还买书给我来惹我生气？

我说：“当初就是因为36D而喜欢她，为了36D将就一下下会怎样？”
他说：“我绝对不是因为36D的，我是当初觉得她的性格特别而喜欢她的！”
我说：“一时一样！弹开！”

Huge property launches seem to be getting fewer and fewer these days, maybe its a sign of the market satuaration or the impending economic plateau, but i guess it makes us look forward to each one even more.

In recent weeks, Papillon had their soft launch, and we had the opportunity to view it. First the location - it’s situated on a 4.5 acre piece of land in Taman Desa, between the existing double storey link homes and Old Klang Road. Previously, there were 8 old bungalows, and apparently, some of our friends who lived around this area while they were growing up have fond memories of playing in the green area. Well, now, like most green areas we hold in our memories, they’re going to turn it into a luxury condo.

Driving around Taman Desa, it’s a pretty developed area with a good mix of office buildings, commercial area, and landed homes which currently fetch good returns for the owners in terms of both rentals and resale value (a friend of ours just bought a unit there). Most of the new condos are situated along Old Klang Road (Jalan Kelang Lama) like Saville Residence, so Papillon has the distinction of being one of the few luxury condos in this vicinity.

The land is sizable to build a large condominium, but they’ve opted for a better configuration of medium rise low density. The land is located on a slope facing KL, so perhaps that, too, played a part in deciding the density of the project. At the show gallery, which is situated right in the middle of the project site, they’ve a viewing deck on the roof for you to appreciate the view. We managed to snap some photos while we were there:

Even on the third floor level you can see KLCC, right next to KL Tower in the second and third picture.

There are two similar blocks, both enclosing the common facilities at the podium level. Each level has 8 units, arrange in 4 pairs of semi-D like layout. We definitely can see the merits of this design - they’ve taken full advantage of the space available so that each unit has only one neighbour, so thereby maximizing the window space and giving each unit more privacy.

There are only 3 main types of unit designs available, the standard unit 1,712sq.ft. and 1,784sq.ft. (the latter is about one foot wider in total width) and then there is the smaller (but apparently popular) unit at 1,322sq.ft. and the largest at 2,059sq.ft. It should be noted that all the units have pretty much the same design, the difference is derived mainly from the unit total width. Units come with 2+1, 3+1 or 4+1 rooms, and all rooms have ensuite bathrooms for an added convenience.

As for facilities, they have the usual swimming pool, gymnasium, playground, three tier security, etc.

Price is stiff to say the least. Cheapest unit cost almost RM490,ooo, and the dearest comes close to RM1.8mil. The price per square foot is about RM370psf for the units facing PJ, and for the KL view, you are stumping about RM420psf. It is about the price of Mont’Kiara condos. But the difference here is that there are no smaller or studio units, the smallest unit, as mentioned earlier is at a rather large 1,322sq.ft., hence pumping up the minimum entry price. For the standard 1712 unit at a low level, you’ll be paying an average of about RM800k for the unit.

There are a few reasons that we can identify why the developers feel the pricing is justified. Firstly, its the location and the view. There aren’t any condos of this stature around here, and its situated away from the perpetually busy Old Klang Road. Secondly, the price of real estate, especially the landed homes around here are sky high, almost double to triple of what you’d pay for a condo here. For more than that, this piece of land is also freehold, giving that slight edge over those projects below that are on leasehold land.

We admit that we were quite impressed with the project, but a reality check settled in when we had to do a double take when we saw the price. But we’re thinking the location alone will carry the sales of the project, and also the low density factor of the development (only 225 units) helps a lot.

The project is jointly developed by TNB and Zeus, a subsidiary of Peter’s Group. This is the latter first major project, while TNB has a few high profile projects underway in the city.

很习惯把‘burn a copy of CD’中的burn说成‘烧’，“烧给你”是我常常在办公室里说的话。

刚刚和Earthtone通电话的时候我就说起David Peng送的幼教CD很好，就说：

“我烧一套给你。”

才说完Earthtone在电话的另一端狂笑不已：“烧下来给我吗？那要烧干净一点要不收不到。”

然后才发觉听起来像清明‘烧’东西给先祖一样。

狂笑……

然后又想起清明给莎莉阿姨扫墓的时候烧的冥品，双双问为什么烧那箱子。

嬷嬷说烧了姨婆才收到。双双不解的问烧坏了还怎么用呐？

当时每个人短暂性耳背……什么都听不到……什么都听不到……没有一个人会答。

我的难过通常会很久，如果不尝试把它摆脱的话。因为不喜欢难过的感觉，所以长久以来学着怎样让自己开怀。

父亲常常说事情总是两面性的，这是看你选择从哪一面去面对。

钻牛角尖虽然不是我的专长，但偶尔还是会被牛角尖里的回声诱骗了去，结果钻啊钻的，把自己的快乐都赔了进去。

但是现在懂得怎样钻牛角了，就是拉个伴——当有想不清楚又想不开的时候，就拉上身边的人，双喜爸啊、Earthtone啊、我爸啊、我妈啊……然后大家一起走，在牛角里转了个圈就出来，互相扶持就不会钻进牛角尖了。

我不是一个会在悲伤和难过中坐以待毙的人，越难过的时候就应该找些事让自己做，就算不至于开怀大乐，也能让自己不再难过。

在恶劣的环境里与其以‘只有半杯水’的态度面对，不如乐观的为‘还有半杯水’欢呼。这就是我的生活态度。

I will never get tired of freebies and promotions. Today I’ll share with you another freebie which I just discovered. So far this promotion is still unknown to anyone and searching in Google yield 0 results. Most of the freebie software that I shared with you belonged to the same category but this one is totally different and I believe it will be very useful to anyone who is using a Windows computer.

This software is called DriveLED 2 by O&O Software and it is used to monitor the condition and activity of your system’s drives at all times. The good thing about DriveLED is the possibility for you to backup your data and change out the potentially affected data volume, before the hard disk fails. Now we no longer need to be afraid of sudden hard drive failure which result in important data loses.

O&O DriveLED 2 normally cost $19.95 but it’ll be totally FREE if you follow the steps below.

Sigmund Freud called it the death instinct, which refers to detrimental and destructive behavior. But sometimes, bad things happen beyond our control. Pastors say it’s the devil working to destroy God’s people, some say it’s ancestral sin! I subscribe to a belief, that bad things happen to build our character and teach us important lessons.

But two natural disasters in a month overwhelms, not only for victims whose homes were wrecked, but the heart of bystanders like me. Already, prices are skyrocketing. Political injustice bites, war and famine crying for relief. Now we have earthquakes and Cyclones too. Global Warming.

God must be reminding us, His self-absorbed children, consumed with pleasures of the flesh, with pop culture, and worldly pleasures. Look, He said, My people are in pain. Can you still chew a hamburger, remain sitting by and watch?

I am overwhelmed with grief, and desire to call for change.

UPDATED VERSION. Dorothy Dix (November 18, 1861 – December 16, 1951), Malaysian style?

What makes the one-and-a-half hour daily Oral Q&A session interesting is that after the pre-sent question by the MP is answered orally, supplementary questions -- to a maximum of three -- are usually allocated to each question. The ministers or their deputies usually have to answer the supplementary questions off the cuff and on-the-fly.

This is the tough part for the ministers as, unlike the original question which gave the ministry staff sufficient notice to prepare for the answer, supplementary questions are "ambush" by nature and they are asked on the spot by MPs who are chosen at random by the speaker. An ill-prepared minister will be grilled and embarrassed in full blast. The Hansard had had sufficient casualties on this.

However, when Amirsham A Aziz, former Maybank chief and currently Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, answered the supplementary question by the SIL by reading off a 2-page prepared text, head bowed and seemingly oblivious to his surrounding, the House screamed of a "planted question and a prepared answer". Or a planted question with a crony's answer.

"It’s really our equivalent to Paula Abdul commenting on a song that had yet to be sung," said Joan Lau in Malaysian Insider, describing how the minister was "caught out doing something stupid".

"You see, ministers and their deputies are not supposed to know beforehand what a supplementary question will be," she added.

Malaysiakini has the whole story. Some say the Parliament House is now a 4th Floor, and a non-American, non-Australian Dorothy Dixer had reared her head.

UPDATES:
- theSun: Amirsham was meat to the prey
- Kit: (Talking bunkum), KJ comes to Amirsham’s rescue
- NST: Locked, loaded or planted, it’s all just too confusing

It has been many days since my last entry and that is due to my busy schedule where I did not have the time to post. As for what's in the news today, apart from the usual never ending news about politicians trying to eat and do this and that to each other and the country, there are a few disturbing news about kids. The first story is about a father who molested his own seven-year-old daughter while the mother is at work. This is really disgusting! What was going on in his head that made him do...

Samsung 15 inch Blue Phase LCD panel  above

In its bid to provide consumers with more natural screen action, Samsung has announced the world’s first Blue Phase technology that moves at 240Hz speed. Faster speeds means faster action on screens and less flicker to the human eyes. Samsung says the design of the Blue Phase panel is called extremely cost efficient and that the Blue Phase panels don’t require liquid crystal alignment layers like today’s most widely used LCD modes.

Samsung also says that the Blue Phase panels will resist bruising, which occurs when pressure on the screen causes an area of impaired brightness compared to the majority of the screen.

You may have notice that every single computer maker is going towards green. They are actually rating each computer to see which is greener (energy efficient, recyclable parts and toxicity of computer). An interesting article about “Where can I find a Green Computer?” shows a list of desktop and notebook which are greener.

Then I found this video about MacBook Air

Looks like a new sibling to the existing Asus Eee PC 900 is coming soon. The Asus Eee PC 901 may have the same specs as the 900 and the difference is only a new row of buttons between the keyboard and battery, along with a power plug on the left side.

Nothing much is different from the 900, but apparently Asus has thrown in a new row of buttons between the keyboard and battery, along with a power plug on the left side.Guess the measurements were not tampered with this time. I wonder if the innards will be different.

Najib Abdul Razak, in his capacity as the Defence Minister and Deputy PM, yesterday was besieged by the Opposition's incessant questions on the alleged commision payments involving deals in the purchase of the €1.084 billion Scorpene submarines from France, the Sukhoi jets from Russia, continous deaths in the NS programme, and the inevitable... the (murder in Malaysia of the) Mongolian woman.

Visibly irritated, Najib finally said, "saya tidak pernah mengenali apatah lagi berjumpa dengan wanita itu".

The sentence was so uncanny that Clinton-Lewinski immediately came to mind.

'I didn't have sex with that woman' is quite a memorable line in years to come.

The KLCI rose as high as 1296 but was not able to sustain its gains and closed near the low at 1287. Nevertheless, market breadth was positive with gainers beating losers at 371 to 313.

Among the corporate news, Maybank registered a marginal drop in quarterly earnings, MAS extends its “Everyday Low Fare” to Asean countries and China, Boustead Holdings to take Boustead Properties the details of which will be announced today, Key ASIC was selected as the design service partner of high performance video scaling and processing chips for Silicon Valley-based Anchor Bay Technologies, Quill Capita Trust buys property in Penang from IJM Properties for RM132m.</content>

So, we have Anifah Aman, the younger brother of Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman, as deputy prime minister under Pakatan Rakyat?

The man was quoted as saying in theSun: Anifah: Once the defections start, there's no stopping. He did not discount himself from moving house, (caveat) "if it is in the best interest of the people".

Apparently, the lure of the 20% oil royalty offer by Pakatan Rakyat, deliverable or not, is a big carrot for the rabbits.

双喜爸说：“Go find it yourself, why you always simply place your bottle? See? Now you can’t find it.”

自己再找，找不到，再求助，不果，转移对象：

“妈妈，找我的bottle，please～～～”

“不要，自己找，每次乱乱放。”

双双进房间转了个圈，还是两手空空，求救的话刚要出口又收回，眼珠一转，改说：

“Daddy, can you please help me fill up my bottle?”

自己找不到瓶子，但是叫爸爸添水的话，爸爸应该会找瓶子出来吧，她想。

但是……双喜爸两眼一翻：“谂过大二条桥啦，呢D屎桥你老豆我细个个阵玩过晒啦。”（想过另外的伎俩吧，这些小儿科你老爸我小的时候全用过啦。）

人家说什么来着？虎夫无犬女——

一样咁奸。（一样狡猾）

这是小朋友们的公公说的——

双双列了几道数学题在纸上，然后交给公公：“公公，做。”

公公戴上老花眼镜，在题后面填上答案，然后交回给双双。

公公眼角瞄瞄小朋友……

小朋友把数学题放在小桌子上，然后伸出十只小指头，口中念念有词的“four minus one equal to three……”演算起来，然后认真的在答案后面打勾。

公公在旁边一面偷看一面偷笑。

友人告诉我说：“其实女人梦想的36D，并不是想象中的那么有优越感的。”
我说：“点解哦？”
他说：“我姐姐真的有36D,但是她从来不曾觉得庆幸，反而觉得是累赘。”
我说：“怎么可能！36D哦，有些女人甚至费尽心思，耗尽毕生功力后，就连门儿也没有的传说中的36D哦！”
他说：“是啦，就是你梦寐以求的36D啦”
我说：“我才不稀罕！”
他说：“我姐她从小就买不到称心的衣服，全都因为要将就上围的尺寸而被逼买大码的衣服。”
我说：“家家有本难念的经嘛！”
他说：“好像你那样的身材确实少了很多烦恼哟！”
我说：“死开！”

The other day I was having lunch alone. A girl slipped and fell between the tables.

Everyone on the floor turned their head. From the far corner of the shop, I can hear tiny laughters echoing the air. The girl blushed, blaming herself for her clumsiness. Slowly, she picked up everything she dropped.

Some of the videos available on the net today on the China earthquake. Contrast the Chinese government’s and the Burmese government’s response to a natural disaster. It is sad . It is tragic for both countries but the Burmese people seem so neglected by their government.

The problem of illegal immigrants in Sabah today is even worse than more than a decade ago when the resolution of the long-standing problem of illegal immigrants in Sabah was proclaimed as one of the pillars of Sabah Baru 13 years ago. In the seventies, there were 100,000 to 200,000 illegal immigrants, which have mushroomed to [...]

I am totally stunned as the dimensions of the human suffering unfold in Burma as its military junta steadfastly refuses to accept or is unable to accept the scale of the tragedy within its own borders. Aid agencies say supplies are urgently needed in affected areas. In response to appeals from the international community to be [...]

Last month my head office had to retrench some staff due to specific reasons.

I wasn’t there, since i’m not stationed at the head office, but i figure the immediate superior or the HR manager would probably call the poor guy into the office and say, “i think you better sit down first…” or “You know the company’s not been doing well recently…”

You KNOW it’s not going to be good news when your boss starts with those lines.

Or when your girlfriend starts with “I think we need to talk…”

Or when the headmasters starts off with “it has come to my attention that…”

Or when the doctor tells you “How is your insurance plan?”

Or when my wife says to my daughter “tell daddy what happened in school today”.

Nope. it’s never good news. Because if it was good news, they tell you straightaway, without all this small talk.

Well i suppose it’s a lot better than my doctor saying, “If I were you, I wouldn’t start watching any new miniseries on TV, get my drift? Heheh…”

Well, it wasn’t all bad news, my colleague got a decent severance package from the retrenchment. Nothing helps soothes the bad news like moolah. Lots of it.

I should blog more, lest readers forget my style of writing. Being deaf has aided me in finding a unique identity without being influenced as much as hearing people would be. Many were perplexed when they heard me giving speeches. They wondered how a Deaf person could speak so well.

I believe the reason is multi-faceted. For one, I am naturally an introverted person. Most of my days are spent thinking aloud. The editor in me works round the clock, composing one piece after another. Many of which never expressed in reality. I rather stay home like that, than bringing my editor to shopping malls where it wouldn’t rest anyway.

I have a habit of shutting out the world and rest in solitude. This was probably learned during my years as a Ballet dancer. I remember the annual concerts at PJ Civic Hall. Not counting pre-school, my first staged dance happened on my 7th or 8th year, or grade 1 in Ballet. Standing on center stage, under the heat of spotlights, made me feel small. Despite not being able to see the audience, I knew that dark space meant I was placed under the microscope. But I had to dance, I must work it out. So gradually, I became less fearful and more capable of shutting out the world, dancing for myself.

When speaking to a crowd these days, I speak like I speak to the editor in me. I do expect a response, a positive one in fact. But the response is often an imaginary voice since I can‘t hear well. And that’s how I appear cheerful on stage.

It’s easier to be congruent when you’re deaf like me.

Life Is Boring from Amir Othman on Vimeo. Download video The mundane boring routine of life Stupid as it is I can't seem to be able to escape from it. Injecting caffeine and corn syrup in my body. Brushing my teeth, opening my computer Drink more coffee. Such a waste of life Such a crime towards an art Boredome isn't harmless It's a "Fuck You" in the face of God This life isn't

It's the curse of the human race, that we're all born to die and in the midst of dying, we strive like mad cows in order to make our mark in the universe while we live.

In all communities, everyone wants to be special. In religious communities, Christian communities in particular, almost everyone wants to be part of a living church (as if there is a such as thing as a dead church, really). Everyone wants to be part of a 'revival' movement, its as if its an important fraternity to belong to.

I despair sometimes, because its hard to find the simple Christian who is satisfied with being merely just another one of His followers.

Nothing is as extraordinary as the wish to be ordinary, someone once said. I think this applies everywhere, even in church.
