Well - sort of - a website which asks “what if the world could vote” for the US President is inviting everyone, especially those from outside of the US to vote. I’ve voted Barack because he’s shown the qualities of a leader and I believe he could restore America’s image outside of its country.
At the time of the publishing of post, the results show there were 508 votes from Malaysia, with 92.7% of them going to Barack while only 7.3% voted for McCain. Worldwide he’s also leading with 87.4% of the total votes of 302,958. Fun to do and to know :)
Not sure how the creator of the UpsideDownDogs.com got the idea but it’s another way to post a picture of your dog in a fun and humourous way - recommended site for dog lovers. The site is a place for people to post pictures of their dogs upside down. Here are 2 samples (the site just opened this week), so it needs more pictures.
Cute
Nasty!
If you’ve skipped the title above, you would never guess that the picture above is the almighty sun. The picture is a detailed closeup of magnetic structures on the Sun’s surface - it looks like a sunflower tea to me though.
After 5 minutes, I can learn to identify Orion’s Belt on the nightsky, though I haven’t tried it by looking up to the sky I’m confident I can identify it.
Do you want to learn it? I bet you can impress any chick while both of you are looking up to the night sky while saying “Just for you, I shall name the constellation that is hanging above us”. But even if you’re wrong, you can just point out any formation and make up stories, unless of course she’s been to the website as well.
The website I’m talking about is here, it attempts to teach you how to identify the different constellation that appears above the nightsky.
It seems that everyone else except those in UMNO and journalists know what is happening around the world for the past week. The world is currently on the edge of facing a major crisis in the financial sector, which some say could be worst since the 1930s. Governments in European countries trying to inject more money into their banks, following the crisis that originates from the USA.
However all I am reading about on our newspapers is how much votes people are getting so that they can contest in their party elections and a “hot” controversy on giving a Datukship title to a popular Bollywood actor.
Hmmm I should’ve known there’s something wrong with this country when the government raised the petrol price days after the world oil price went up but needs a month to lower the price down when the world oil price slumped.
Anyway, if you’re like me, interested to know what sparks off the current financial crisis (which I’m sure will hit Malaysia soon), then I have a few links for you to go to. I don’t have a clear grasps on any of the banking/financial jargon so I was searching for some explanation on layman’s terms or “current financial crisis for dummies” if you will.
So I will share with what I found, hopefully you can get “enlightened” as well :)
Link 1: The Financial Crisis: Layman’s terms of how it all happened. (What started it all.)
Link 2: Financial Leverage Profit Engine Image (Makes sense if you understand the above).
The explanation doesn’t include all players, well cuz if it does, then it will not be so simple anymore. Anyway, at least you can grasp what is happening and why the banks are not trusting each other. I just hope the impact on Malaysia, and especially us will not be that hard.
You know anymore links, please let me know yeah? I hope our learned government administrators has something in their books to counter the effect when it hits Malaysia.
