Just my thoughts;

What a life,

A life that is sometimes miserable to understand,

But nice if understood,

May the people around me judges me on the outer part,

But they lack on the inner of me,

Only God knows what’s inside my heart,

For my Family is the closest to my heart,

People tends to see the bad reflection,

Even you have thousands of good deeds to people,

Oh God….help me please!

Oh…What a life!

Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January to August 2008 increased by 4.8 per cent to 110.4 compared with that of 105.3 in the same period last year. Compared with that of the same month in 2007, the CPI for August 2008 registered an increase of 8.5 per cent from 105.9 to 114.9 and when compared with the previous month, the CPI increased by 0.2 per cent.

The index for Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages for the month of August 2008 compared to the same month in 2007 showed high percentage change of 11.7 per cent, meanwhile the index for Non-Food increased by 7.0 per cent. For the period of January to August 2008, the index for Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages and Non-Food registered an increase of 7.5 per cent and 3.6 per cent respectively. Compared to the previous month, the index for Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages rose by 0.8 per cent while index for Non-Food decreased to 0.1 per cent (Table 1).

CPI changes for the period January – August 2008 / 2007

The 4.8 per cent increase in the CPI was brought about by increases observed in the indices of all the main groups except those of Clothing & Footwear and Communication which decreased by 0.5 and 0.6 per cent respectively. Notable increases among main groups with high weights were Transport ( + 8.6 per cent ); Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages ( + 7.5 per cent ) and Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas & Other Fuels ( + 1.4 per cent ). Other increases were Restaurants & Hotels ( + 6.9 per cent ); Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco ( + 6.7 per cent ); Miscellaneous Goods & Services ( + 3.4 per cent ); Furnishings, Household Equipment & Routine Household Maintenance ( + 2.3 per cent ); Education ( + 2.2 per cent ); Recreation Services & Culture and Health ( + 2.0 per cent respectively ).

These are the data sourced out from the Malaysian Statisticic Department. What does it mean in CPI increase? well, it means that the inflation moves parallel with it, which in turn signals the inflation have gone up. It is recorded that from July 2008, Level of inflation in Malaysia have increase to 8.5% compared to 3-5% first quarter of this year. What does this mean? for me it means that;

1. My income have shrink down and my capability of buying an X number of goods have decreased, and i have become poorer.

2. I may not be able to gain the same level of satisfaction with my disposable income compared to before.

3. People are kept worrying about spending money and will shy away from most of the shopping complexes, may be window shopping would do i guest.

4. Less people spend…less sales in the retail and shopping industry (Do this happend to Malaysian)

However, even the prices of petrol have gone down today by 15 cents, still…the prices of teh tarik remains the same as before. They justified that it was not related at all to price of petrol. Heck…then before this, this people were saying that it does relate heavily with price hike…..what an inconsistent group of people.

Now, what should i do….?

1. Just save , save, save……

2. Restructure your spending behaviour

3. Try to adapt to changes,

4. DELAY GRATIFICATION, DON;T BUY THINGS THAT ONLY GIVES YOU A TEMPORARY EXCITEMENT!!!

5. Be happy!!!!!

Forget about penang, i can’t recall anymore of the food that i had there, but the most prominent food is the Nasi Kandar ( it is my favorite!!).

Sorry for not updating the blog, it has been quite long for me not to update this masterpiece of mine. It is not to say busy, it is not to say that I have lost interest in blogging, but then again I have had a lot of excuses when I want to express my ideas in this blog.

However I will just glance through the progress (progress??not so lah) and the timeline of what is the important event that happened to me.

13/9/2003 -Buying a car, CITROEN ZX , year 1993…….(old huh?)….for the price I have negotiated at RM4,500.

My Citroen ZX 1993

Ok…I’ll keep my finger crossed of updating this blog!!!

Now having a great time meeting people might make you feel out of the world sometimes. Especially meeting people with the same interest and enthusiast. If i can recalled back….the first platform for chatting is are the popular MIRC and it is widely used as a platform for people around the world to chat and getting together. At that point of time also , if i can remembered that most of the teenagers are crazy about this chatting activity and staying late at night is a normal norm.

The best part is that it is free.!! Now there are new chatting area in the market for you guys to check it out as this has widen the horizon of the chatting arena. It comprises of the Chat rooms, interest clubs, free blogging platform and online dating. I might say that this is the type of the new era of chatting activity that everyone should indulge with. The chatting platform known as the wireclub.com surely excites those who are passionate about meeting people online with its free chat rooms.

Furthermore….it is free and i might say this is going to be a boom in the future. Certainly with its growing number of chatters that have participate in the wireclub will make it more merrier. The best part is that it is free and you can fully utilize the facilities available. I like the blogs and the interest club most.

What i like about this site?

Well…as a chatter i mean an ex-chatter…i see that it have widen the horizon , you can expressed yourself with other people online through blogs, interest club and meeting friends online as well as dating. And as i can see, there are growing numbers of population in this wireclub chat.

What i don’t like about it?

It looks quite new…and not much i can comment further.

My Verdict!!!

I give it 3.5 out of 5.

Check it out at wireclub.com

I’ll introduce to my friend….Nik Fahim…..well eventhough the surname remains the same “Nik”, but we don’t share any blood relation with each other. Having not seeing him for quite some time is really something that you have to catch up when there is a time to meet. So…we’ve met at Warisan Presint 16 for a TT drinks….having some chats and talking about interest and nation issues (hahaha) within our respectives do really cheer up the day after a hectic routine in the office.

Later on….i was drinking a TT with a ginger tastes…and of course it is great..consider it as a Malaysian made ginger tea latte’.

To be honest, I like to travel and sometimes traveling could widen up your horizon. However traveling requires planning and it sure one of the hectic planning to do. Why, because there are many travel agents around in town offering special packages by giving you way too confusing in making which packages to choose.

Its normal as contact between humans may differ on negotiations breakdowns and if you were given other alternatives such as online traveling packages, what types of offering can you find online?

As this is an order review, Check out the Hotel Reservation.com and you’ll find plenty of traveling destinations around the world. The claim that;

HotelReservations.com offers more than 70,000 properties worldwide - from hotels to B&B’s to condos to all inclusive resorts. HotelReservations.com offers the information travelers need to book the perfect trip all backed by the HotelReservations.com Price Guarantee, see details on website.

The Best Part - Giving Advice of Destinations

I don’t like salesman knocking on my door and telling me to buy thing from him. But i like the buzz from a friend who recommends a products or services such as Hotel Reservation.com do. Off course, part of it is a marketing strategy, but then make it naturally as the customer would feel being sold out if you pushed them to buy your product and services.

Now, this is what hotel reservation did, they market it naturally…why because they are giving advices on the major destination and interest to suit your traveling needs. The pages on Destinations and interest really caught my eyes….not in terms of design, but in terms of information. Which is i’m afraid very informative to look at. they’ve something like how to navigate the page, stars rating on every destination, price to choose and compare and other complement information such as credit cards support links which is crucial to travelers.

About the Tagging

Sure, price tagging, i do not want to comment on this as i myself would be a big spender if i want to travel. The main objectives of tourism activity is to spend and spend. Economic point of views…your’re giving cash flows to the locals…heck everyone knows that and I’m sure price is not a factor. Apart from having rebate if you make any check out on HotelReservation.com.

The Web in Big Picture

I might say that, as I’m used to buy tickets online when traveling domestically using my local carrier online services, i doubt that hotel travelers should at least create the level of confidence for their customer by saying that ” hey you’re a secured doing transaction with us” or putting any fancy batches that they are verified by any financial body to handle online transaction would be great.

So…check it out at Hotel Reservations
