Hall of Ferris.

In case any of you are wondering about the picture in the blog title, that is a picture of a very old Ferris wheel in Vienna. I don’t even remember the name of the wheel but it does look nice does it? For your information, this Ferris wheel was situated next to a theme park, but I guess when I went there the park was closed and that park has its own Ferris wheel. Speaking of Ferris wheel, let me show you my collection for Ferris wheels pictures.

Let us start with the picture of London Eye. I have an old picture of the Eye, which I took in 2005, but since my friend took a better picture during the New Year’s day, I’ll put this picture instead.

Next, is a picture of a Ferris wheel that I took when I went to Nice during Christmas 2005. This picture was taken at a Christmas fair, which happened to be a custom in Europe. I mean, everywhere you go during the Christmas week, you would see a Christmas fair.


My next picture of a Ferris wheel was also taken in 2005, but this time the wheel was in Monaco Christmas fair. Unlike the first two, this picture was taken from a hill near the palace where the Monaco royal family lives. Quite a nice picture isn’t it?


For my next picture, I don’t have a very good picture of it and this is the best I have. Quite a shame, really, not to have a nice picture of it considering the Lake Titiwangsa is a nice place to take picture. But hey, a picture is still a picture isn’t it? This was taken in summer 2007.


Next is a picture from another Christmas fair in Edinburgh. My friends and I actually took a ride on this Ferris wheel and I learnt one thing here – don’t ever go on a Ferris wheel during winter. But I think of all the Ferris wheel I’ve seen, this is probably the best because firstly, Edinburgh is a very beautiful city and secondly, the wheel was located at the edge of a valley, so, the view from the top of the Ferris wheel was magnifique!

Finally, the picture that you’ve already seen, the Ferris Wheel in Vienna.
There you go, my collection of Ferris wheels – London, Nice, Monaco, Kuala Lumpur, Edinburgh and Vienna.

Monkey Business.

Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...

A New Start?

I recently read a blog of someone who I had just met a w eek ago. This person is just like any ordinary person - or so I thought. It turned out that there's more to this person. When I had a conversation with him, I noticed that he has a very refreshing way of looking at things. It's not that the way he thinks is totally out of the box but, it was just plain refreshing. I'm further impressed by his manners and attitude in life. And then when I read his blog, it inspires me to revive this blog. I guess I've forgotten what blogging was all about. Blogging is all about writing on whatever that ticks you. It does not have to be long, but just enough to highlight what you believe in. So I hope that this will be the new beginning of this blog. And to this person, thank you for inspiring me to do something that I have long left behind.

Economy Game Anyone?

Today, I was given a chance to manage the Australian economy. Well, not really but it is for real. Haha. OK, let me explain, in my economics tutorial today we have to play this simulation of the Australian economy. To start with, we (My partner, Martha and I) are given data on the 1987 Australian economy. And in this simulation, we only have the power to manage four variables namely, government spending, income tax, sales tax and money supply. We were given 10 years to manage the economy. It turns out that managing an economy is a LOT harder in practical because my knowledge in theory is not helpful at all. OK, in macroeconomics, we always have to aim for a couple of goals which are low unemployment and inflation, favourable balance of payment, positive economic growth and favourable exchange rates. But, in this simulation we have to aim for low unemployment, inflation and interest rate. In 1987, the unemployment level was 6.3%, rate of inflation was 8.0% and interest rate was at 8.5%....
