Official logo of "BING"

Until a day, the most popular search enginee as we known is "GOOGLE". We just type "www.google.com", then start to find the information based on the keyword that you entered.

Now here has a new contemporary search enginee which is provided by Microsoft called as "BING". Bing is a web search engine created by Microsoft that replaces Live Search. Unveiled by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on May 28, 2009, at the All Things D conference in San Diego, Bing is a replacement for Live Search, and will go live worldwide by June 3, 2009.[1]

Notable improvements in general searches include the addition of related searches (called "Explorer pane" on the left side of search results) based on semantic technology from PowerSet, a search company Microsoft purchased in 2008, search suggestions as you type, and the ability to keep track of your search history.[2]

The homepage of BING will always be changed

Politic: The darkness day of Malaysia

One Black Malaysia: Democracy first, elections now

"One Black Malaysia: Democracy first, elections now" is a parody on Mr Najib's "One Malaysia: People first, Performance Now" slogan. It was introduced by activist Wong Chin Huat. The 1BlackMalaysia campaign was to be a peaceful, yet powerful message of 'civil disobedience'.

Nevertheless, is BN has any different with Gangster within this a few years? How do you feel after you read the news shown as below?

1.纳吉伪善政权原形毕露！

2.把原任议长,西华拖出议会厅,甘尼申登上议长席

3.与昨晚被捕人士已获释 黄进发说我国变专制国

Is it suppose to be done by a government who was previously promise on "Democracy" in independent day (1963)? BN, please stop to play this kind of silly and foolish game!!!

警察！！！如果你有胆量就去抓某个人说"要以华人的血清洗马来短剑"，不要只是来欺负人民。说穿黑衣就被捕,那他呢? 举剑无罪,黑衣犯法. 正好笑...

Do you know you are the worst in the world? Wake up please.. F***er

Facebook VS Friendster: Who is a winner?

During this weekend, I have made a research on Facebook vs Friendster in Malaysia and here's is the interesting information.

1. Alexaholic Rankings (it always be updated on time)
This ranks the traffic websites get from Malaysia. Note that Facebook is the 5th most visited page ahead of Friendster (only No. 7). This has changed much from the 2008 news release from Friendster which was in the Top 5 most popular sites. Facebook has overtaken them in these past 6 months.

Of course, Alexa is anything but accurate in Malaysia, but still...if Friendster used to go around telling people they were top 5 on Alexa, it's news that right now, they aren't.

2. Facebook Increasingly popular in Malaysia (31 March 2009)
This story in March reveals Facebook receiving a 14% sustained growth in Malaysia month-on-month. This means, in Feb 2008 Facebook received 500k visitors, but in February 2009 it received 2.4 million. That’s monumental growth.

At my conclusion, Friendster is, by number of accounts, the biggest but it’s trending down in terms of activity (measured by traffic). A quick dip-stick survey on Twitter reveals that most significant online people in Malaysia prefer using Facebook over Friendster.

90年代后: 我们该如何面对"性(sex)"

今晚我在BBC Chinese 看到惊人的消息，那就是13岁的孩子竟然当"小爸爸" - 察看详情报道。我的天，这是什么世界??

成长的烦恼有很多。其中，"性"的朦胧神秘、骚动诱惑、痛苦焦虑，是每一位少男少女成长过程中无法摆脱的。然而，如何面对青春期的生理、心理变化，不仅仅是孩子们的事，家长、学校、社会都有责任。


This reference is from BBC.co.uk

当然，这一切只能让"性"变得更神秘，更困惑罢了。今日的90后一代，生活环境不可同日而语，但面对一个"性"字，困惑似乎一点不少，甚至更多。 那英国是最好的例子。据英国的报道，英国合法的发生性行为的年龄为16岁。调查显示，多达四分之一的英国青少年等不到庆祝16岁生日，就按耐不住青春的骚动，“偷尝禁果”，有了第一次性经历。甚至英国的少女怀孕率10多年来一直高居欧洲国家榜首。

我个人意见是每一家庭都有责任来看好及教导自己的孩子，与其是在"性"这一方面。这个世界已在改变，需求量已增加同时诱惑也跟着"上涨"。所以责任是很重要的，做每一步都要付出责任来面对。没有一个人因踏错一步就可以逃避，迟早也要面对。也许那时所付出的更加"重本"。

Earth Hour in Singapore 2009.

At 8pm on the 28th March 2009, millions of people in some of the world's major capital cities, including Melbourne, Manila, Shanghai, Toronto, New York, Copenhagen, Singapore will unite and switch off the power for Earth Hour.

This year Singapore will be part of this global effort organised by the WWF to attempt at making a statement in energy conservation. Apparently MacDonald in Singapore do it in a big way this year by going as far as switching off all the lights for 1 hour. The efforts in 1 hour on 1 day reduced Singapore's energy consumption by 10.2% for 1 hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking around 48k cars off the road for 1 hour.

Earth hour is not the only such effort in the world where you have Light out of America in various cities in the US and Candle Night Project in Japan and Taiwan.

Now Singapore's government is calling for more people and businesses from Singapore to be involved in Earth Hour and get them to turn off their lights for 1 hour at 8.30pm, 28th March 2009. In fact, their efforts even appeared in the press today!!! So dont surprised when the light of Singapore's Suntec City is going to turn off. There's no black out. It's Earth Hour.
