This shoes is a cult. Sort of Apple and its I series of gadgets. It can makes you drool over and over again by just looking at their products. Apple has its Iphone and Ipod while this shoes has its Chuck Taylor, John Varvatos and Jack Purcell. Gawd! You do know what shoe i am talking about right?
Its casual, cool and have a distinctive look. Those who wore them, looks simple and casual but yet cool and smooth. Yes. Converse is what i am talking about. Collaboration with designer brands to come out with different styles, designs and colors makes them even better than ever.
Gwad! I am not joking. Look at these designs. It is British Rock Series design that associates with with Brit signature inprints makes you a differenciator class of your own. I love the designs. Are these shoes cool or what?
I personally love the Jack Purcell multicolor ankle strap on.

20 Top Sex Tips for Man
I found this rather interesting. Of course, i believe a lot of man might find it more than "ego-bruising" to admit it that they need more education and information from experts to teach them to improve their skills, ahem ahem, on the bed.
But, i think one real man, should admit their weakness and improves it, regardless in their personal or public image. Anyway, back to the topic, read-on these sex tips to improve ones knowledge and expand their information in the head (the one with the brain!)
DR THOMAS STUTTAFORD. Dr Thomas Stuttaford, the Times doctor, spent many years working in a genitourinary clinic.
1 Men aren’t irresistible and not all women are desperate for sex. Good lovemaking starts long before you reach the bedroom, so before any date, have a bath. Everyone smells: some women like the smell of male sweat, others don’t, but no one likes the smell of stale sweat.
2 Teeth are as important as the groin and armpits. Don’t forget to brush them after your bath. When kissing a girl, or even sitting close to her, she won’t want to smell your bad breath or notice salad between your teeth any more than she’ll want to smell yesterday’s sweat.
3 Avoid a heavy meal before sex. Oysters and asparagus are assumed to be aphrodisiacs, but this is only because of visual or olfactory associations. Champagne is a better bet, but choose a less acidic one, lest exotic Kama Sutra-style acts cause indigestion.
4 Be careful with drink. We all know drinking increases a man’s desire but decreases his ability, but not everyone realises it also affects a woman’s sexual response. More than two or three drinks and some women may be loving but physiologically limited.
5 Any penile discharge or sore, however apparently trivial, means that sex is out. Chlamydia in the male may be almost symptom-free. It may show only as a mild inflammation of the end of the penis, so that the lips are stuck together in the morning.
6 Always use a condom with a new partner, even if she seems as innocent as a nun. Regular partners should still have chlamydia and blood tests.
7 Men fear judgment, whether by colleagues in the office, teammates in the changing room or, above all, by a new girlfriend. Penis size can worry some men. Remember that someone’s penis always looks smaller to the owner than to an onlooker. Women may prefer a medium-size but thick penis but, if a lover is attentive, even if offering a button rather than a baton, it won’t matter.
8 Don’t rush into sex and focus attention immediately on the genitalia. Take it slowly. Learn to massage. This can easily shade into great foreplay, especially if your partner is tired or stressed. Use plenty of lubrication.
9 Make certain that your partner knows how attractive you find her by paying as much attention to kissing her, complimenting her and generally spoiling her. Don’t neglect the breasts and other erogenous zones.
10 Both sexes have off days. Most men occasionally have poor or tardy erections and even fit, athletic, overenthusiastic men, as well as the inexperienced and anxious, may suffer premature ejaculation.
SUZI GODSON. Suzi Godson is the author of The Sex Book (Cassell, £16.99) and The Body Bible (Penguin, £16.99)
1 There’s no substitute for excitement. The range of lubricants on the market can add slip and slide, but should never be used as a short cut.
2 There’s more to sex than pushing the right button. Men have discovered that the key to female orgasm is clitoral stimulation, and many now rub the lamp rather than poking around inside it. The upside is that women are climaxing more often but the increase in emphasis on genital manipulation has made for some very mechanical sex. Going straight to the erogenous zones is the equivalent of fast forward. Men who focus on left breast, right breast, genitals, reduce their partner to a set of body parts.
3 Though clitoral orgasm is easy to achieve, most women want to experience penetrative orgasm. Intercourse is the ultimate connection between man and woman and the sensation of fullness that it creates is intensely pleasurable.
4 Women are slow burners. They take longer to become aroused and get as much pleasure, if not more, out of tenderness, kissing and cuddling. Though quickie sex has its place, for women on the whole, the longer sex takes, the better it feels. If arousal is allowed to build gradually, it floods the whole body rather than being confined to the genital area and a delayed orgasm is infinitely more powerful than an orgasm induced by five minutes of digital manipulation.
5 Sexual gymnastics are often distracting. Chopping and changing positions and techniques can make a woman’s sexual excitement plummet.
6 Thrusting for hours without climaxing doesn’t make you a stud muffin. It does make the vagina numb and sore.
7 Don’t assume your partner is comfortable in her own skin. A survey of 3,500 British women, by the bathroom equipment company SHUC, found that one woman in ten feels so embarrassed about her body that she turns the lights out before taking off her clothes. The average woman still spends a lot of time every day beating herself up about her weight and looks. Nakedness increases that vulnerability, so be sensitive to her insecurities and, if you think that your partner looks great, for God’s sake tell her.
8 Be polite. Never nudge your partner’s head towards your nether regions. During fellatio don’t thrust into your partner’s mouth, don’t hold the side of her head – and definitely warn her when you think you are going to come. With regard to orgasm, always operate a ladies-first policy.
9 Put a little X in your sex. Watching steamy movies with your partner will increase the chance that you will have sex.
10 Remember to take your socks off.

Economic Crisis and Global Recession in 2009
The aftermath of the sub-prime mortgage meltdown has its ups and downs. Some has positive lights while majorities are affected by it. Peoples and citizens of the world are affected from different ways. For instances:
1. from chinese factory workers who lost their jobs before Spring festivals
2. factory owners closing down in Guangdong province in China
3. to the bankrupt Lehman Brothers in US
4. the management guys from Lehman Brothers who are selling their multimillion dollar vacation houses in the States (details here)
5. to the big 3 automobiles company in US, namely, Chrysler GM and Ford who are looking from federal government assistance to avoid bankruptcy
6. to the Greek bonds which is now rated as junk
7. the Italian government who has a Euro200 billion debt
8. Sandy Weill, the former chairman of Citigroup still having the benefits even Citigroup lay off 60,000 employees (sources here)
8. etc etc etc and bla bla bla (much more to be continued here)
Of course, the other end of the spectrum would be those who make billions betting (or shorting) against the sub prime mortgages before the economic meltdown. People such as John Paulsen and George Soros, who rakes in billions due to this economic bubble burst. (read more here)
What makes me more interested in reading the article, was when i read one of the comment:
Harry Papastavrou
The main problem of the euro is the lack of central debt management and a stronger political union. When the above will be realized in a reasonable degree, the dollar dominance as a world reserve currency will be History.
The fundamentals of Euro are far healthier than those of the dollar and holding dollar can be a very risky investment. USA owes the use of the dollar as leading reserve currency to its political and military global dominance, without this dominance the dollar would be nothing more than a week currency.
This global dominance allows the USA to use most of the world savings to finance its economy and the extravagant military spending, by issuing in fact papers (treasury bills) and taking the global hard earned savings, promising to repay them back, let hope this will happen (actually the Americans trust in God that will not be a global sell off of the dollar in which case we will have the first in History bankruptcy of a superpower).
The pound is in a deplorable stage and the downhill of the British economy really scares me, which has robbed the people a huge portion of their hard earned life savings, on top of that this severe devaluation does not bring any good to the UK economy.
For the time being I think is a good psychological therapy to project your woes to the euro currency/area.
Reading this makes sense to me. Now, i am wondering, what is the value of the results we do everyday? Does it make sense for us for us to do what we are doing everyday? Given the fact that life and money has something in common, fragility.
The only differences i see, is the value we set upon both life and money. What is the value you set upon yourself and your money? How do you judge the value of your character, your life and your money?
I'll let you to be the person who answer for yourself and be the judge.

10 things you HATE in Shanghai
Updated: Added 2 more items that you hate in Shanghai on no.11 and no.12! Gawd! Unbelievable!
Ok ok. Enough with all the bloggers and everyone writes about what to do in Shanghai, although not that i complained though as i learned a lot from their experiences, thus wisdom for me. I am going to write DE TOP TEN THINGS i hate in Shanghai, inclusive of cities around, such as Wuxi, Suzhou, Zhangjiagang and Nanjing.
The reason is simple. You cannot and will never will understand why they do that. It is pure unbelievably stupid and no-brain symptom? Sometimes you get so fed-up, that you wish to go and take a piece of wood and knock the shit out of their head. No explaination needed. Just pure stupidity!
We start at here:
1. Stopping at the end of an escalator
This syndrome is called planning for the day. Imagine this. You are simply walking around in the mega shopping malls in Shanghai. Its packed like sardines with everyone is rushing to dunno do what shit thing. Perhaps rushing to get that toilet roll or rushing to finish before you. Then you are packed and pushed into a walkway down the escalator going up or going down. Its packed and its a lot of people. Then, out of no where, the FAMILY in front of you simply stop when the escalator reaches the end. THEY STOP and have a discussion in front of the escalator! WTF?!?!?!?!?!? YES! They stop and discuss which way to go while scratching their butt and their head.
Simply unbelievable!
2. They spits!
They act is called clearing the throat kung fu. It takes your chi and your breath, all in 1 act. Ptuiiiiiiii ................................. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then the fucker turns his head and make the furthest spit, and if you are walking around these "spitting kungfu master", you need both of your ears and all your senses to avoid that lump of spit! YuckS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Sometimes you need to jump away if necessary!
3. Bad Breath!
I do not understand why. They dislike drinking a lot of water. It makes them fat! Sometimes, when they talk to you, you can feel it. Smelling that foul smell from the mouth 1 foot away from you that you have to hold on to your breath and look away to catch a breather!
They do not believe in the thing call mouth spray nor sweets. Its sweet and its fattening. Never mind the breath! *faint*
4. Food and service staff attitude
You feel like choking them alive. Just imagine 4 counters during lunch time. Pack of people going to buy McDonalds right? They open only 1 counter. >_<
Have you ever tried to ask for 1 more slice of lemon for your ice lemon tea or requests for 1 more slice of cheest for your burger? I tell you. You will VOMIT blood! They will tell you its not for sell nor they will give it to you. Its not company policy! FUCK!
5. NOT lining UP!
This is ONE OF THE FUCKING thing that i hate the most! No body lines UP in China. I think everyone who visits to China, will somehow be amuse at the crowd when they buy tickets in bus station, McDonalds ordering food, hospital lining up for payment and etc. You feel like popping their head in that instant. I mean, its a common understanding that everyone waits for their turn.
Well, its China!
6. Cars making u-turn in the highway trunk road
Imagine this. 6 lane trunk road. Its huge, but without dividers. That fucking car simply making that u-turn without looking at the side mirrors or give a damn glancing to the back. Those cars behind simply have to be more aware and step on the emergency brake and horn no fucking stop while screwing that car in front.
Buses, taxis and bicycles are the most dangerous automobiles in China. You cannot imagine how dangerous it is until you have been to China.
7. Food wastage
In China, a dinner is considered as a treat. It is all about face value you are talking about at the end. Thus, everyone orders or serve with food they will never ever able to finish. Imagine a typical Chinese wedding dinner, where an average of 20 dishes will be served to a table of 10. Simultaneously and served together. Therefore, your table WILL be STACKED of food! Drinks, cigarette and etc will be served as well. Its customary.
Its unbelievable. Once you are here in China, you will understand why the word of food wastage does not applies in China. It is simply inpolite to finish your dishes when your hosts pay for your food!
8. Food prices
OMFG! Food prices in Shanghai are like one of the highest. Its like simply outrageous. Of course, it also depends on which area or restaurant that you go to. If you are to go to that small little stall by the road side, then of course, a few renminbi will suffice. But, just imagine a little higher such as famous BiFengTang, the cantonese food franchise. An average meal costs you RMB40 for one? And its like RMB40, one plate of fried noodle and a glass of ice nai cha?
Freaking expensive. Dun even bother to ask me the price of a glass of German wheat beer in Paulaner. You will stop and wonder. How the hell are the common Shanghainese going to survive with few thousand salary a month?
9. Pollution
The pollution are seriously serious! No joke. And Malaysians are complaining that haze cause by our neighbours in Indonesia. Come to China and experience what we called as common. Its like so freaking hazy that the air you breath in is smokey in smell. Not mentioning that during the summer, the heat is like 38 centigrads + the humid + the haze smell!
OMG! You feel like staying in the home and shut all your windows. Even my fart smells nicer!
10. Got conned
Everyone thinks that you are easily con-able. Its like you are not speaking Shanghainese dialect and from your appearance shows that you are a "lao wai", therefore, you should be easy to scammed. I admittedly tell you, i did. I was conned before when i was like new in China. After that, and QiPu shopping + buying silk in Suzhou GuanQian Jie. I was like OK. Now i know.
Everyone bargains in China. Or you simply walks away. Simple. No need to hassle of that item for 10 minutes. Just name your price and wait for acceptance. Never answer and tell them your price. Just keep your mouth shut and let the seller do the work. Normally it works wonder.
For example, you wish to buy that t-shirt at that bazaar. You approach the seller and ask "dou shao qian?" (how much?). Normally they will see your appearance 1st. If you are indeed a laowai, they will tell you RMB100 instead of RMB25 if you are Shanghainese.
Therefore, you have to keep in your mind that the item should be selling at RMB30 at the most. You say, "tai gui le" (too expensive), continued by "20 kuai" (20 bucks). You leave 10 bucks for negotiation purpose. The seller will automatically tells you, no way! then what you need to do is wait! The seller will normally says 50 kuai! (50 bucks) and you say, "ni yi pan wo yi pan" (you half i half), and continued by saying 30 kuai! (30 bucks).
From there, either you walk away if the seller refuse or smiling walking happily after purchase that t-shirt for RMB30!
11. Smoking everywhere
Its true and i don't want to even lie to you about this. Everyone smokes in everywhere even i have seen it in gym changing room, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC, hospital, everywhere and anywhere imaginable.
Smoking in Shanghai or anywhere else in China is sort of a mentality and ego kinda cultural thingy for them. Just imagine you are being judge on your status by the type of cigarette that you puff into your lungs.
There are varieties of brands here, from every province, ranging from prices and quality and brand. The most common famous expensive brand in China would be Zhonghua, that costs around RMB40 to RMB80 per pack. Again, depending on the quality of the tobacco. The more expensive it is, the better your ego will be. Seriously.
12. Beggars, little beggars and kids beggars
This is also another rampant issue and problem that China is facing right now. Coastal cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, Suzhou and anywhere else on the east side of China next to the sea and river will have a bigger chance out of proverty. Its true.
Foreigners, expats and everything just pour everything to these places. This started a chain reaction and affects everything. These cities produces more millionaires due to opportunities, employments and growing economies.
There comes another problem. Those Chinese citizens from the west, such as Xinjiang province, that is a desert and no economic growth becomes isolated. They are poor and they are not educated. In short, they are at least 50 years behind in mentality.
There is a saying in China. If you see a child beggar begging for your money in Shanghai, most probably you will say that they are from Xinjiang. It might be true you know. These beggars will flock on the street more especially during pre-chinese new year. They will beg for money under cold winter conditions. They are child merely 5 years of age. They are poor and extremely poor.
What i hate more, is when the parents, grandparents and the elders would even scold the kids for not able to get money from us! The kids beggar will cry and cry. Such a humiliation. These child beggars are sometimes also pickpockets. Beware!
What do you think? The top 10 things you hate in Shanghai? Fits the picture?
Hahahahaha.
ps: I still like to go and hit the clubs in Shanghai! Not forgotten, the Xinwang Roasted Pork Rice! :)
God! I am hungry now!
Ciao~

Astrology 2009 for me
Ya ya ya. I know what they all say about listening and reading all those horoscope and astrology stuff. Makes people anxious and thinks too much perhaps. Whether that our life are still at the control within our palms and within our grasp.
Gawd! Lifes unfair. I am feeling kinda down coz its accurate, somehow one way or another. I remember i did compare this reading twice from 2 different sources and somehow it is almost the same and accurate.
I hate it. Or perhaps i am feeling and being emo now. Thinks too much syndrome in my blood that runs in my family. Hate it.
You see. I am born in the year of Monkey and my element in the astrology is water. Accurate #1. From the lucky elements, i agree and feel very comfy with the points mention also. I hate summer and love winter. I like and i love green plants, which makes me more comfy. I like dark colors in my room and the black ambience feeling. Not that i hate white, but i felt uneasy with all white ambience. I love to wear black and dark colored shirt. I have more than 20 pieces of black t-shirt. Gawd!
