TM 2007 Profit Soars to RM 2.55 Billion

PETALING JAYA: Telekom Malaysia Bhd's (TM) net profit for its financial year ended Dec 31 (FY07) surged 23% to a record RM2.55bil, boosted by a robust mobile subscriber growth at home and abroad.

Earnings per share rose to 74.4 sen from 61 sen a year earlier. Sales during the period climbed 8.8% to RM17.8bil from RM16.4bil previously.

Outgoing group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar said the group's total mobile customers jumped 39.6% to 39.8 million at the end of 2007.

Mobile-phone services provider Celcom (M) Bhd added about one million new customers to expand its subscriber base to 7.2 million during the year.

The unit posted a strong 13.1% growth in sales to RM5.15bil, while its net profit contribution exceeded RM1bil.

The group's Indonesian unit, PT Excelcomindo Pratama Tbk, is the third largest mobile operator in the republic with a subscriber base of over 15 million.

Recent reports showed Excelcomindo's net profit had declined 62% to RM88mil in 2007 due to one-off items such as higher interest on loans, taxes and foreign exchange losses, which are unlikely to remain this year.

Celcom and Excelcomindo will be part of the soon-to-be-listed TM International Bhd, a new entity that grouped together all TM's existing mobile communications and overseas businesses.

“The proposed de-merger of TM will accelerate growth at each entity, and provide both businesses with the freedom to pursue their own aspirations,'' Wahid told a press briefing on the group's results.

The question-and-answer session yesterday, however, was dominated by the announcement of Wahid's eventual departure to Malayan Banking Bhd.

He is leaving TM after a four-year stint to take the helm at the country' largest financial group.

TM chairman Tan Sri Md Radzi Mansor reassured investors that Wahid would remain on board to see off the de-merger exercise that was targeted for completion within the second quarter this year.

“The de-merger exercise is well on track and, post de-merger, two vibrant telecommunications entities will emerge to further enhance shareholder value,'' Wahid said.

TM has proposed a final dividend of 22 sen per share, less tax, for the year just ended.

It has already paid out an interim dividend of 26 sen per share and a special dividend of 65 sen per share earlier in the year.

TM shares closed 10 sen higher at RM11.40 yesterday.

I Will Be Travelling for 4 Days

So, perhaps I will not be updating my blog during that time period, but I'll try to drop by while I am in Singapore for that 4 days period. I hope to see you soon...and will definitely update on my experience from my journey to the fine island, as soon as I get back.

BN Wins 9 Seats Uncontested, PAS Win 1 Seat Uncontested in Kelantan

KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 24, 2008): Barisan Nasional (BN) won seven of the 222 parliamentary and two of the 505 state seats unopposed when nominations closed today. As usual, Sarawak contributed the most number of nomination day victories for BN.

As in 2004, a PAS (Parti Se-Islam Malaysia or Malaysian Islamic Party) candidate won the sole seat for the Opposition on nomination day. PAS’ Wan Ubaidah Omar secured the Kijang state seat in Kelantan when the BN candidate Mustopha Ahmed was disqualified.

This is a psychological boost for beleaguered PAS which was severely mauled by the BN in 2004. It controlled 23 seats to BN's 22 after losing Pengkalan Pasir in a bruising by-election two years ago and is hoping to push back the challenger to where it was in 1999.

In the 2004 general election, BN won 17 parliamentary and 11 state seats unopposed while PAS’ Dr Mohd Ramli Md Kari took the Senggarang state constituency uncontested to the chagrin of the commanders of BN’s fortress Johor.

The parliamentary seats won by BN in Sarawak are Selangau (Joseph Entulu Belaun), Kapit (Alexander Nanta Linggi), Kanowit (Asron Ago Dagang) and Tanjong Manis (daughter of former Yang di-Pertua Negri), Norah Tun Rahman.

The other seats won unopposed are by Sabah's Kalabakan (Datuk Abdul Ghafur Sallah) and Pensiangan (Datuk Joseph Kurup) and Pengerang in Johor (youth and sports minister Datuk Azalina Othman Said).

This is second-time lucky for Azalina and Abdul Ghafur, who both won their respective seats unopposed in 2004.

The state seats won unopposed by BN are Bugaya in Sabah (Ramli Marahaban) and Sementa in Selangor (Abdul Rahman Palil).

With this development, there are now 215 parliamentary and 502 state seats up for grabs on March 8.

George Clooney: The Hillary Clinton of Oscars

George Clooney says he won’t beat out Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Actor at Sunday’s Academy Awards, drawing a political analogy.

“For me, it’s like being Hillary Clinton,” the Michael Clayton star said. “If it weren’t for Barack Obama, it would have been a very good year.”

“I thought Daniel Day-Lewis had the best performance of the year.”

Apart from his own race, the boyfriend of Sarah Larson handicapped all the other major categories, boasting to Time Magazine that he’s never lost an Oscar pool. We’ll see how accurate his picks are Sunday, February 24.

George Clooney did not say if he prefers Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, choosing instead to discuss his recent film, Best Picture nominee Michael Clayton.

“Our film is the best it can be in that genre,” he says of its Oscar chances, “but there’s a ceiling on that genre.”

Instead, Clooney predicts that No Country for Old Men will take the top prize, and its directors Joel and Ethan Coen will nab the Best Director trophy. He also gives a nod to Javier Bardem as Best Supporting Actor.

“If [Michael Clayton] has a shot at anything, it’s Best Supporting Actress with Tilda Swinton,” he says - although George Clooney officially made Amy Ryan, from Gone Baby Gone, his pick in that category.

The actor was also impressed by La Vie En Rose’s Marion Cotillard.

“She does an old person trying to be young, instead of what everyone does - a young person trying to be old,” he says. “It’s a stunning performance.”

Aaron Carter Arrested !!!



Aaron Carter is sitting in a Kimble County, Texas jail this morning after police discovered more than two ounces of marijuana in his car.

The former pop star was stopped by the coppers for speeding in Kimble County, Texas. A subsequent search of his Cadillac Escalade turned up about two ounces (56.7 grams) of marijuana and he was taken to a local jail in the town of Junction, where he is currently behind bars.

Carter spent the night in jail and is due in court this morning for his arraignment.

We're surprised it took Aaron this long to get arrested.

LAPD Chief William Bratton is now My Hero

LAPD chief William Bratton, in an interview on Wednesday, in regards to the propose anti-paparazzi "Personal Safety" law (The measure would create a “personal safety zone” of 10-20 feet around celebrities hounded by paparazzi) suggested by LA City Councilman, Dennis Zine, told the interviewer and the world :-

“What we need is Britney Spears to stay home instead of traipsing all over town. That would solve the problem. We don’t need additional laws…. I’ve got laws coming out my ears to deal with this issue.”

His comment on the same topic, in regards to Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan :-

“What you have is several young women in this town and several young men basically making fools of themselves and tying up not only my resources but the resources of the media that would do better covering legitimate stories instead of a bunch of airheads running around out there . . . Quite clearly some of these characters so favored by the paparazzi are clearly in need of services. Not police services, but psychiatric services.”

Wow....perhaps Hollywood production house could now focus their attention to the real heroes out there rather than making shows about fictional lame-ass heroes, as the more of Mr. Bratton out there, the better the world will be or at least the less news or attention to either Britney, Lohan or Paris.

Otherwise, it's difficult to explain why Kate risque pictures are being promoted in two magazines at the same time. Previously, I've posted her Esquire's photo shoot. Now, she appears in Allure Magazine promoting I-don't-know-what, perhaps promoting herself.

Jessica Alba..The Next Celebrity With Twins ?


Jessica Alba with The Happiest Man on Earth, Cash Warren - future banker for the upcoming twins.

Jessica Alba reportedly has just learned she's set to join Jennifer Lopez and become a first-time mom to twins.

The sexy actress is the latest Hollywood star set to join the current twins trend, which was kicked off by Julia Roberts and Marcia Cross and now reportedly includes Angelina Jolie as well.

Alba reportedly is so excited about the news, she has been letting all her friends know, and one source has blurted the baby exclusive out to the National Enquirer, along with the due date, June 8.

One friend tells the publication, "Knowing that she's going to have twins has turned Jessica's life upside down. She and (fiance) Cash have had to scrap plans for a one-baby nursery and start all over again."

Although the couple know they're set to become parents to twins, they have no idea about the sex of their babies.

The source adds, "They're not sure whether they want to know the sex of the babies now or wait to be surprised."

Celcom Core Earner of TMI

CAPITAL TALK

Two weeks ago, i-Capital analysed Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) by focusing on its fixed line business. This week, i Capital will focus on TM International Sdn Bhd (TMI).

CELCOM (M) Bhd is the core profit generator for the de-merged TMI. Taking into consideration the current mobile penetration rate of 79% and Celcom’s growth potential, the telco’s earnings power equates to an average of RM900mil over the next few years.

Both PT Excelcomindo Pratama TBK (Excel) and Dialog Telekom Ltd have performed credibly. Despite operating in a young market (see table), both have started to report strong profits.

Dialog’s substantial lead in terms of the number of subscribers over the other three mobile telecommunications players, and the fact that all call tariffs have to be first approved by the Government, places Dialog in a very comfortable position. The sole concern with regard to Dialog is the ethnic conflict in the region. We do not foresee the conflict putting Dialog out of business.



However, political unrest will have some effect on Dialog’s costs, as witnessed by a slight dent in Dialog’s profitability in 2Q07. In that quarter, due to the escalation in the conflict, Dialog’s operating margin, i.e. earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation, fell to 49% from 54% in the previous corresponding period.

In Indonesia, the mobile telecommunications market is basically dominated by Excel (15% market share), Indosat (24%) and Telkomsel (52%). Excel has proven its ability to operate profitably. The key challenge for Excel would be to select profitable areas to roll out its mobile coverage.

The implementation of the interconnection regime will further place Excel, Indosat, and Telkomsel on equal footing. TMI has announced its intention to acquire a further 16.81% interest in Excel from Khazanah Nasional Bhd for RM1.425bil, payable via issuance of 158.7 million new TMI shares.

As for TM International (Bangladesh) Ltd (TMIB), the plunge in profit in its first half was due to the downward revision of interconnection charges, as required by the army-backed interim government that took control over the country earlier this year. Going forward, the uncertain policy and regulatory decision making environment under the interim government will be a significant barrier that TMIB has to overcome.

As for Telekom Malaysia International (Cambodia) Co Ltd (TMIC), we do not expect any major contribution for the next two to three years.

Jointly controlled entities (JCEs)

TMI’s JCEs are MobileOne Ltd (M1, 15.15% interest) and Spice Communications Ltd (46.89%). M1 is listed on the Singapore stock exchange and is the smallest mobile telecommunications player in Singapore with 1.41 million subscribers (29% market share).

Spice provides mobile telecommunications services in the states of Punjab and Karnataka. Spice is the second largest operator in Punjab, with 2.1 million subscribers, and the fifth largest operator in Karnataka, with 1.1 million subscribers.

TMI’s interest in M1 is held via SunShare Investments Ltd, a company in which TMI holds 51%, and Khazanah the balance. TMI recently proposed to acquire the remaining 49% of SunShare from Khazanah for RM155mil, payable via issuance of 17.3 million new TMI shares. The acquisition of the remaining interest in SunShare would increase TMI’s interest in M1 to 29.7%.

What is the value of TMI?

Based on Celcom’s earnings, capital structure, and capital expenditure requirements, Celcom would be able to comfortably generate free cash flow of RM700mil to RM800mil per annum. As for the remaining core overseas subsidiaries and the JCEs, profit contribution of RM550mil can be expected over the next one to two years, which will put a value of RM5bil on these entities. In short, TMI is valued at between RM25bil and RM28bil.

Conclusion

At RM11.40, TM is valued at RM34.6bil. Two weeks ago, i Capital valued the fixed line division at between RM15bil and RM17bil, and this division is now expected to pay an annual dividend of RM700mil.

The combined value of the fixed line division and TMI is between RM40bil and RM45bil, a premium to the current market capitalisation. For this, what do investors get in return?

The investment community has downplayed the potential of the fixed line division. Most do not know that British Telecommunications plc undertook the same de-merger route in 2001 that saw the creation of BT Group plc (fixed line unit) and mm02 plc (the mobile unit).

The chart shows that BT did not disappear with the loss of its mobile units. Instead, broadband demand continued to drive its revenue growth.

Similar trends can be witnessed in South Korea’s Hanarotelecom Inc (Hanaro). Formed in 1997, Hanaro is mainly involved in the provision of fixed line telecommunications and broadband services.

The earlier years of its formation showed a strong increase in revenue, driven by broadband demand. KT Corp, the dominant fixed line player in South Korea, also saw its fixed line revenue improving with the growth in broadband demand.

The de-merger is a positive move, as it will unlock the value of the fixed line division. The division would be a cash cow post de-merger.

The position of Streamyx and the high-speed broadband (HSB) project that the fixed line division will undertake will provide ample growth for the division.

The HSB project involves connecting fibre optic cables to 2.2 million premises in the urban areas. Currently, TM is still negotiating the terms with the Government.

The cost of the project is estimated at RM15.2bil over 10 years, and the Government will award TM a RM4.8bil grant to undertake the project.

Some RM10bil will be spent in the first four years, i.e. TM’s capital investment in the first four years will amount to RM5.2bil. The project will be funded via external financing. Revenue is expected to fully flow in by the fourth year on commencement of the project.

i Capital sees the de-merger as a chance for investors to get hold of TM’s fixed line division at an attractive valuation, based on its current share price. With this, i Capital rates TM a “buy” for the longer term.

Obama Winning Streak Continues !!!

Barack Obama is that much closer to the White House!

The Democratic presidential hopeful has won two more more state contests.

Barack picked up delegates after winning contests in Wisconsin and Hawaii on Tuesday night.

Barack Obama winning streak now totals 10 and has put Hillary Rodham Clinton into a virtual must-win scenario in Democratic contests coming early next month in Texas and Ohio.

In the meantime, Sen. John McCain, the Republican front-runner, won a pair of primaries, in Wisconsin and Washington, to continue his march toward certain nomination.

McCain easily won the Republican primary in Wisconsin with 55 percent of the vote, dispatching former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and edging closer to the 1,191 delegates he needs to clinch the GOP nomination at the party convention in St. Paul, Minn. next summer. The Arizona senator also won the primary in Washington, where 19 delegates were at stake, with 49 percent of the vote in incomplete results.

McCain's total moved to 942; Huckabee has 245, in The Associated Press count.

In scarcely veiled criticism of Obama, the Republican nominee-in-waiting said, "I will fight every moment of every day in this campaign to make sure that Americans are not deceived by an eloquent but empty call for change."

McCain stepped up his criticism of Obama on Wednesday, suggesting the Democrat doesn't have the experience or judgment on foreign policy and defense matters needed in a president.

"There are a lot of national security challenges and I know how to handle them. Senator Obama wants to bomb Pakistan without talking to the Pakistanis. I think that's dangerous," McCain said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." "I think that's an important factor — experience and judgment. Ready to serve and no on the job training."

McCain's nomination has been assured since Super Tuesday three weeks ago, as first one, then another of his former rivals has dropped out and the party establishment has closed ranks behind him.

Not so in the Democratic race, where Obama and Clinton campaign seven days a week, he the strongest black presidential candidate in history, she bidding to become the first woman to sit in the White House.

Ohio and Texas vote next on March 4 — 370 convention delegates in all — and even some of Clinton's supporters concede she must win one, and possibly both, to remain competitive. Two smaller states, Vermont and Rhode Island, also have primaries that day.

With the votes counted in all but one of Wisconsin's 3,570 precincts, Obama won 58 percent of the vote to 41 percent for Clinton.

With 100 percent of the vote counted in Hawaii, Obama had 76 percent to Clinton's 24 percent.

Wisconsin offered 74 national convention delegates. There were 20 delegates at stake in Hawaii, where Obama spent much of his youth.

Washington Democrats voted in a primary, too, but their delegates were picked earlier in the month in caucuses won by Obama.

The Illinois senator's victories in Wisconsin and Hawaii left him with 1,336 delegates in The AP count, compared with 1,251 for Clinton, a margin that masks his 155-delegate lead among those picked in primaries or caucuses. It takes 2,025 to win the nomination at the party's national convention in Denver.

It All Runs In The Family...Words of Wisdom from Lindsay Lohan's Mom


Linday with her Manager-Mom...Dina


Please read on what Lindsay's mom has to say about her daughter's recent and headline-grabbing nude shots for New York magazine.

"It was very tastefully done. I respect the photographer as an artist, so I look at them artistically. For him to call Lindsay 46 years later and to say can you recreate these photos is an honor. I looked at it as art, and as Lindsay doing a character. So I don't look at them like it's Playboy; she was being a character. So if you look at it that way, you can look at it as a mother. Trust me, I wouldn't have sent my 14-year-old to the set [if the shoot was in bad taste]. And obviously Lindsay wouldn't do anything with her sister there, that was risqué. Lindsay was very excited when she first got the phone call. Of course we talked about how they would be done. Lindsay said, 'Mommy, I'm never going to get this opportunity to do it again.' She was very thankful she was asked. She's always loved Marilyn," Dina says. "For Christmas, my girlfriends even gave her a Marilyn cookie jar. I think there's a sadness that Lindsay feels for Marilyn. Lindsay really saw it as a gift back to someone. Lindsay did 250 crunches before because she was nervous since she had never done anything like that before."



Ah..how touching...what a supportive mom....if only I can understand half of what she say...

The Latest Trend in Entertainment - Celebrity Selling Their Kids

First we had Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie selling first pictures of Shiloh to OK! for $4 million. Then, came the rumors of Mr. Scientology himself, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes selling Suri's picture for an undisclosed sum, which some believe to be worth $4 million as well . Lately, we heard that Christina Aguilera sold her son's Max picture to People Magazine. And now, JLo is reportedly offering the rights to the exclusive her twin's first photos for a staggering $6 million.







This has become a seemingly accepted practice amongst celebrities. There was a huge bidding war for the first pictures of Suri Cruise, and Shiloh Jolie Pitt drew a fair bit of attention as well. Let's not forget Sean Preston and Jayden James Spears, and I am betting that Jamie Lynn Spears will attract a decent fee for the pictures of her baby when it is born as well. (There are rumors that she has already struck a one million dollar deal for these pictures, however it is being denied by the Spears clan. Of course, they probably would have denied she was having unprotected sex in the months before she fell pregnant, so let's not pay too much attention to their denials.)


I'm selling my kids too....

In short, I don't get it...but maybe that's why they are the celebrities, and I'm still a nobody. But at least I have some dignity unlike them...my children is not for sale, unless off course someone did offer millions to take some photos of them.

Kate Beckinsale is Hot !!!

I am amazed on how on earth Kate Backinsale body and looks can be that attractive, even after having a daughter. Maybe she has more money and resources to ensure her body back to shape after giving birth, but then so does many others including all the other celebrities. But none, and I repeat none has that much success as Kate's has....as though nothing has changed before and after her pregnancy.







By the way, with magazines currently in the race of publishing some risque photos of beautiful celebrities such as those of Lindsay Lohan's - Marilyn Monroe poses and that of Nicole Scherzinger of Pussycat Dolls, Esquire magazine do not want to be left behind in the race as well. And so, they made a good move in hiring Beckinsale's for this month's cover, and indeed a good move it is...as you can't lose with Kate on your cover.

Lindsay Lohan Taking Same Drugs as Heath Was



From In Touch magazine, February 25th 2008, Lindsay Lohan's dad has this to say,

" When Heath died, he was taking some of the same medications that Lindsay Lohan has been prescribed...“Even before Heath’s death, I told Lindsay that I’m very concerned about the pills she’s taking. Doctors had Lindsay on Oxycontin when she broke her wrist. They also had her on Adderall for ADD, Xanax for depression and anxiety and Ambien for insomnia. Although Lindsay, 21, has told Michael, “Don’t worry, Dad, I’m okay,” he believes that doctors are overmedicating young stars. “I’m not only fearful for Lindsay, but for all the other kids out there… Most of these young people shouldn’t be on some of these medications - instead, they should get spiritual guidance, counseling and exercise. These new drugs get into their bones and bloodstreams and they have to detox to get off them or they can have seizures or possibly die. "

Who is this Michael again ? I wonder what kind of pharmacist or doctor he is ? But, one think for sure...he need to be more involved as a father rather than as a doctor, as I don't think his spiritual guidance is working, because as much as I hate Lindsay, I sure hope she didn't end up like Mr. Ledger or Miss Monroe, the former unintentionally and the latter consciouly and intentionally. Amen.

Orang gila 2 : "Tahu apa?"

Sambil berlari orang gila 2 tadi pergi ke bilik doktor dan menceritakan apa yang berlaku:

Doktor : "Kenapa?"
Orang gila 2 : "Benar doktor, dia naik ke atas meja sambil mengangkat tangannya dia cakap dia adalah matahari, dunia ini terang dia yang buat."
Doktor : "Kalau begitu suruhlah kawan kamu tu turun."
Orang gila 2 : "Jangan doktor, nanti kalau dia turun gelap dunia ini nanti..."

Setem

Di sebuah negeri terdapat beberapa orang Raja yang memerintah. Raja-raja di negeri itu pulak ditadbir oleh seorang Perdana Menteri yang terkenal dengan kediktatorannya.

Pada satu hari Perdana Menteri tersebut telah merasmikan pembukaan pejabat pos. Apabila beliau melawat pameran sempena perasmian pejabat pos berkenaan, beliau terkejut kerana hampir kesemua setem-setem yang dipamirkan mempunyai gambar-gambar Raja. Beliau dengan angkuhnya memanggil pengarah jabatan pos dan menyuruhnya menggantikan muka-muka Raja tersebut dengan wajahnya.

Selang beberapa hari beliau berbangga kerana muka-muka Raja tersebut telah tiada dan wajahnya yang tertera di situ. Selepas seminggu berlalu, beliau mendapat berita yang mengatakan surat-surat yang dipos tidak ditampal dengan setem wajahnya.

Dengan marahnya beliau telah memanggil pengarah jabatan pos dan bertanya mengapa kesemua surat-surat tidak ditampal dengan setem wajahnya. Pengarah mengatakan bahawa setem-setem tersebut tidak lekat apabila ditampal kerana semua pengguna tidak meludah setem itu di belakang setem sebaliknya meludah di bahagian hadapan setem.

If SAP Made Toasters

If SAP made toasters :-

1. The Manual to run the toaster would be approximately 10,000 pages long.

2. The toaster would come with 2,500 switches which would all have to be set in an exact pattern and in a precise sequence in order to toast specific kinds of bread.

3. Each pattern would be established by SAP’s experts as the “Best Practices” method of toasting that kind of bread.

4. It would take a team of basis and functional contractors about 1 year to configure the toaster in the best manner, and then another 6 months to test it.

5. In the mean time, your entire family would need to attend extensive training classes on how to use the new toaster.

If Microsoft made toasters…

Every time you bought a loaf of bread, you would have to buy a toaster. You wouldn’t have to take the toaster, but you’d still have to pay for it anyway. Toaster’95 would weigh 15000 pounds (hence requiring a reinforced steel countertop), draw enough electricity to power a small city, take up 95% of the space in your kitchen, would claim to be the first toaster that lets you control how light or dark you want your toast to be, and would secretly interrogate your other appliances to find out who made them. Everyone would hate Microsoft toasters, but nonetheless would buy them since most of the good bread only works with their toasters.

If Apple made toasters…

It would do everything the Microsoft toaster does, but 5 years earlier.

If IBM made toasters…

They would want one big toaster where people bring bread to be submitted for overnight toasting. IBM would claim a worldwide market for five, maybe six toasters.

If Sun made toasters…

The toast would burn often, but you could get a really good cuppa Java.

Orange, Purple And Green Cauliflowers



Scientists have developed amazing variants of vegetable where the traditional white florets have been changed to a garish orange, purple and green.

The "rainbow cauliflowers" are said to taste the same as the normal varieties, but add a splash of colour to the dinner table.

Some scientists have even claimed that they are healthier for you.

Andrew Coker, a spokesman for the plant company Syngenta - which is developing the plants in Europe - stressed that the colourful cauliflowers were not the result of genetic engineering, but came after decades of traditional selective breeding.

They retain their colour even after cooking. "The pictures may look garish, but they are really are this colourful," said Mr Coker.

Sleeping Pills

An exhausted looking blonde dragged herself in to the doctor’s office. “Doctor, there are dogs all over my neighborhood. They bark all day and all night, and I can’t get a wink of sleep.”

“I have good news for you,” the doctor answered, rummaging through a drawer full of sample medications. “Here are some new sleeping pills that work like a dream. A few of these and your trouble will be over.”

“Great,” the blonde answered, “I’ll try anything. Let’s give it a shot.”

A few weeks later the blonde returned, looking worse than ever. “Doc, your plan is no good. I’m more tired than before!”

“I don’t understand how that could be”, said the doctor, shaking his head. “Those are the strongest pills on the market!”

“That may be true,” answered the blonde wearily, “but I’m still up all night chasing those dogs and when I finally catch one it’s hard getting him to swallow the pill!”

Judge Marries Couple on Valentine's Day after Sentencing Groom


February 16, 2008 -- WHEELING, W.Va. - It wasn't a typical wedding. For one thing, the groom was in handcuffs.

Kevin Felder and Misty Johnson exchanged vows Thursday, Valentine's Day, just minutes after he was sentenced to five to 18 years in prison for second-degree robbery.

"It's a decision between the two of us. I am sorry for what I did, and I want to be a better man when I come home," said Felder, who wore an orange prison uniform.

Judge James Mazzone performed the wedding after sentencing him.

Felder took $340 during a convenience-store robbery on Sept. 5. Felder was on probation at the time for a July 20 domestic-violence offense involving Johnson.

Johnson said goodbye as Felder was escorted from the courtroom.

"I love him that much," she said tearfully. "That's all I can say."

Around The World in 195 Days and 6 Hours By Bicycle


A Scottish man became the fastest to cycle around the world yesterday when he arrived in Paris after nearly seven months on the road. Mark Beaumont, 25, completed the trip in 195 days and six hours - beating the current record of 276 days.

After almost seven months of dodging drivers, sleeping rough and struggling to get enough to eat, Beaumont is expected to enter the Guinness Book of Records, once the feat is verified.

Carrying 80kg of gear, including a tent, on a £2,500 ($5,000) road bike, Beaumont beat the previous record by 81 days. He said the last two days on the road had been hard, but "about 40km from Paris the adrenaline kicked in and I flew up the last hills".

His trip took him through 20 countries on a route which included Pakistan, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Holland last August took four hours; Germany three days. He endured floods and road rage and was knocked off his bike in Louisiana in the US by a motorist who drove through a red light.

At one point, also in the US, he found himself at a motel which turned out to be full of crack addicts, who stole his wallet and BBC camera. But once he was back in the saddle he cycled through four US states - Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida - in two days.

Sisipan dari Email: Yusni Jaafar Kritikal

SELANGOR, 12 FEB 2008 : Pelakon dan pelawak veteran, Yusni Jaafar,
62, atau lebih dikenali dengan panggilan Ibu kini berada dalam keadaan kritikal akibat kerosakaan pada hati yang dikesan sejak 3 bulan lalu.



Ketika ditemui di Hospital Selayang pagi tadi, Yusni kelihatan begitu lemah dan tidak bermaya. Pelawak yang popular sejak penghujung tahun 1970-an itu hanya mampu melontarkan senyuman kecil kepada tetamu yang melawatnya. Dia juga sering mengalir air mata terutama ketika dikucup sayu oleh anggota keluarga dan sahabat handai.

Lebih menyedihkan, seluruh badan Yusni kini semakin membengkak kerana dipenuhi air terutama pada bahagian perut. Leher dan perutnya terpaksa ditebuk bagi menyalurkan air dan ubat.

Anak bongsu Yusni, Raja Irna Raja Ibrahim, 23, berkata air dan darah yang dimasukkan ke tubuh beliau tidak sampai kepada tempat yang sepatutnya kerana berkumpul pada anggota badan. Tubuhnya kini semakin membengkak.



"Kata doktor, hati ibu sudah rosak teruk dan tidak dapat berfungsi lagi sehinggakan menjejaskan fungsi buah pinggang. Air yang dimasukkan ke dalam badan ibu berkumpul juga pada bahagian anggota tubuh. Doktor memberitahu kandungan darah ibu juga tidak mencukupi walaupun sudah dimasukkan dengan banyak," katanya ketika ditemui di wad terbabit.

Raja Irna, anak yang paling akrab dengan Yusni, dilihat kerap berusaha mengubah suasana pilu dalam wad seperti bergurau kecil dengan ibunya.
Malah pada ketika wartawan menghala lensa kamera untuk merakam gambar mereka, lantas Irna mengangkat tangan Yusni dan menyuruh ibunya membuat tanda peace dan melontarkan senyuman.

Saat menyentuh hati, ketika berjabat tangan perpisahan dengan wartawan, Yusni sempat mengirimkan salamnya kepada para peminat dan meminta untuk mendoakannya agar cepat pulih.

"Sampaikan salam saya kepada peminat dan mintalah mereka semua berdoa supaya saya sembuh," katanya dengan nada yang terlalu lemah.



Orang yang paling dekat dengan Yusni iaitu adiknya, pelakon Sukarni Jaafar, 55, atau lebih dikenali dengan panggilan Mak Nani, turut ditemui bersama di wad itu. Dialah antara orang yang berusaha keras memberi semangat kepada Yusni untuk terus berjuang. Difahamkan, anak-anak Yusni yang lain termasuk Raja Ema juga datang menjaga Yusni secara bergilir-gilir di hospital berkenaan.

"Sebelum ini, dia pernah dimasukkan ke hospital ini beberapa kali, bagaimanapun kali ini dia ditahan paling lama apabila doktor mengesahkan keadaannya berada pada tahap paling kritikal. Sudah seminggu lalu dia dimasukkan ke wad ini," kata Sukarni dalam nada sedih.

Sementara itu, ramai rakan artis tempatan yang mula melawat Yusni, antara mereka ialah Aida Rahim, Era Fazira, Hans Issac, Liza Abdullah, Uji Rashid dan Datuk Mustapha Maarof.

The genie turns her into a redhead, she builds a raft, and floats off the island.

The second blonde says “I wish I were ten times as smart as I am now, so I can figure out a way off this island.”

The genie turns her into a brunette, she builds a plane, and flies off the island.

Maxim's 9 Hottest Pregnant Celebrity, Ever

(In No Particular Order) Not sure, this will be an exhaustive list especially with Jessica Alba and few others is being pregnant now.

1. Jaime Pressly



Baby daddy: DJ Eric Calvo
Jaime has the pregnant white trash act down to a science, and there´s something really hot about that. She and her arsenal of surprisingly revealing maternity clothes were the main reasons we tuned in to My Name Is Earl before the writers´ strike put it on hold. Plus, she carries her big belly and huge boobs a lot better than Elvis Presley ever did.

2. Monica Bellucci



Baby daddy: Actor Vincent Cassel
It probably has something to do with her Italian heritage, but Monica has never been shy about showing off her figure, and pregnancy did nothing to change that. Her nude pregnant magazine shoot made Demi Moore´s look about as hot as a Cat Fancy cover by comparison.

3. Halle Berry




Baby daddy: Male model Gabriel Aubry
Descriptions like "over 40" and "with child" aren´t usually things we associate with looking hot, but Halle pulls off both better than anyone we´ve seen. Plus, we admire the guts it must have taken to walk into the maternity store and say, "Give me a big stack of the lowest-cut dresses you have."

4. Christina Aguilera



Baby daddy: Husband Jordan Bratman
She probably won´t be getting dirty in any boxing rings for a while, but Xtina hasn´t resorted to a housecoat and slippers, either. Plus, there´s a good chance her doctor has told her to take out her piercings because of the bun in her oven, which is a plus for guys that aren´t into body mods.

5. Heidi Klum




Most recent baby daddy: Pop singer Seal
Heidi has already pumped out three offspring, but each time her torso has rapidly reverted to its original toned and insanely hot state. Even when she was ultra-pregnant and hosting Project Runway—we TiVo it for the girlfriend—she was making maternity clothes look like Victoria´s Secret outfits…with crotch pads.

6. Brooke Burke




Most recent baby daddy: French actor David Charvet
It has been well documented how much we love Brooke, even when she gets all wonky in the midsection. She is someone for whom we would be more than happy to make the long trip to the supermarket at 4 A.M. on a Thursday to get Cheetos and cookie dough.

7. Gwen Stefani




Baby daddy: Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale
Cute has always been Gwen´s thing, so pregnancy really works for her. It just gives her more real estate to fill up with wacky henna tattoos and bracelets. Plus, it put a little color into her otherwise—and we mean this in the sexiest way possible—corpse-like complexion.

8. Angelina Jolie




Baby daddy: Brad Pitt
You could put Angelina through a wood chipper and the bits that come out the other side would probably still be sexy as hell. Angelina carried her kid like a champ, even if it was a little more taxing on her body than all that adopting she had done in the past.

9. Naomi Watts




Baby daddy: Actor Liev Schreiber
Naomi has always been hot, but a little on the scrawny side for our tastes. Once she got pregnant, she carried that baby weight in all the right places (boobs).

More Britney Spears Story

Everyone is jumping into Britney's bandwagon. Even Heidi Klum.

The difference is...for once, the more famous and mature Heidi, is offering words of encouragement, unlike others who merely trying to sponge off Spears for publicity or money.

“She can call me and come live in our house with us for a couple of months. I would help set her straight,” said Heidi Klum, 34, who was born in Germany, in an interview set to air Monday in her native country.

“I am sorry when a young person gets thrown so off track. She has, of course, lived an extremely wild life,” added Klum.

A Beverly Hills resident, like Britney Spears, Heidi Klum is also mother to very young children (Brit has Jayden James and Sean Preston, ages 1 and 2; Heidi has two boys and a girl, ages 1, 2 and 3, with husband Seal).

Klum believes the pop star could benefit from her stable household.

“I have never been as happy as I am today,” says the Project Runway star. “I have found the man of my life, and we have three great kids. They are all so different and fantastic that it really can’t get better than this.”

Obama Plagiarizing ?



Barack Obama has been criticized for plagiarizing a speech during a campaign stop this past weekend and not being upfront about it.

The similarities between the Democratic presidential hopeful and a speech made by by Deval Patrick, the current Democratic governor of Massachusetts, back in October 2006are striking.

Barack blatantly copied several lines and linguistic speech patterns from Deval's "Just Words" speech for Obama's own "Words Matter" speech in Wisconsin.

No stranger to scandal herself, the thrice-rehabbed Lohan calls Monroe’s suicide “tragic” and remarks to the mag, “You know, it’s also tragic what just recently happened to someone else.” When asked if she’s referring to Heath Ledger she says, “They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone.” She is adamant, however, that she will not meet a similar fate, saying, “…I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me.”

To be honest, this is one of the worst imitation of Miss Monroe. I really hope this photoshoot isn't foreshadowing her future!!

Making Babies

A second grader came home from school and said to her mother, "Mom, guess what? We learned how to make babies today."


The mother, more that a little surprised, asked fearfully, "That's interesting. How do you make babies?"


"It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'."

McCaviar

A possible hamburger for rich and tasteless people.




From Wikipedia,

Caviar is the processed, salted roe of certain species of fish, most notably the sturgeon. It is commercially marketed worldwide as a delicacy and is eaten as a garnish or a spread; for example, with hors d'œuvres.

Given its high price in the West, caviar is synonymous with luxury and wealth. In Russia and other Eastern European cultures, though still expensive, caviar is commonly served at holiday feasts, weddings, and other festive occasions. In Hong Kong and Japan, caviar may be found on sushi and is often very affordable.

10 Most Unfortunate Car Names

1. Mazda LaPuta (in spanish: "the whore")
The car's name actually derivates from the book Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, but go explain this to spanish speakers. For them, it means "the whore".



2. Mitsubishi Pajero (in spanish: "wanker")
The Spanish version ended up as "Montero", but still many spanish-speaking customer do have a wanker.



3. Nissan Moco (in spanish: "booger")
It was only marketed in Japan as such; otherwise it would have been a bad (nose) pick for spanish speakers.



4. Buick LaCrosse (in French: "masturbating teenagers")
When Buick launched the "LaCrosse" in Canada why couldn't it have come across as "the fancy pen on wheels," or something to do with archery? Nope, in French-speaking Quebec, the meaning is, of course, masturbating teenagers.



5. Chevrolet Nova (in spanish: "It Doesn't Go")
General Motors had a very famous fiasco in trying to market the Nova car in Central and South America. "No va" in Spanish means, "It Doesn't Go".



6. Opel Ascona (in Spain and Portugal: "female genitalia")
Why couldn't the "Opel Ascona" mean "little flower" or "cute worm," which would have been cause for just mild embarrassment? Instead, it means female genitalia in Northern Spain and parts of Portugal.



7. Honda Fitta (in swedish and norwegian: "cunt")
So why can only spanish speakers have genitalic cars? Here's one for up there: the Honda "cunt"



8. Daihatsu Charade
It's not really a car, it's just pretending! This was one of those econo-boxes that was not merely humiliating to drive, it embarrassed its owner each time its name was uttered. "I drive a Charade." Good-bye, prom date!



9. Dodge Swinger
You'll also find ads for these on the back pages of adult magazines. Okay, it was the '70s, but still - why not just call it the STD?



10. AMC Gremlin
Do you really want to own a car named after annoying small problems that are next-to-impossible to fix? Courtesy of the same folks who brought you the Pacer.

Bosses Less Likely To Have Cancer: Australian Study

SIDNEY (AFP) - Managers are less likely to have cancer, while shop assistants have a greater chance of suffering back pain and nurses have a higher rate of heart disease, according to a new Australian study.

The survey, which is published Monday in the Medical Journal of Australia, analysed the records of more than 4,200 workers aged between 45 and 64 and found that about two-thirds had a medical condition.

It found that older workers with chronic conditions were more likely to be employed in certain industries such as retail, and health and community services, researcher Deborah Schofield said.

"In the retail trade there was a significantly higher risk of musculoskeletal conditions -- so that's things like back injuries, or if you've injured your shoulder or arthritis," she told AFP on Sunday.

"And then cardiovascular disease came out significantly higher in health and community services."

Schofield said that these findings jarred with the expectation that more muscle or bone injuries would be among construction workers or those in the transport, forestry or agriculture sectors where heavy lifting was required.

"But, in fact, the reverse is what we found," she said.

"What we think happens is that retail, being part-time and not too heavy an occupation, that people, if they have those sort of injuries, (it means) they can remain in the workforce," she said.

Interpreting the data regarding cancer was also difficult.

By occupation, the study found that the relative risk of a manager having neoplasms, or cancerous tumours, was found to be 0.25 compared to 0.40 for a tradesperson and 0.74 for labourers.

"We don't know of any reason why they (managers) would be at lower risk as a result of being in that occupation," said Schofield, who is an associate professor at Sydney University,

"What we think is that it may be that if you do have cancer that you're in secure jobs with very good sick leave arrangements so you're in a position to take time out of the workforce if you need to."

Schofield said it was possible that bosses sitting up in their corner offices were less exposed to carcinogens than other workers but this could not be proven.

"So we don't think that you are necessarily, if you're in those jobs, less likely to get cancer. It's possibly more to do with your work arrangements when and if that does happen," she said.

Schofield said it was likely that illness forced people out of jobs, which resulted in lower rates of diseases in some industries.

"This would seem to be the case for occupations such as tradespersons and labourers," which had low levels of all the medical conditions surveyed, she said.

Oh..oh...Its Another Britney Spears Linked Story

Can't we get enough of Spears ? Anyway, to ensure at least one Spears story appear in any entertainment theme blog, here's one for you.

According to TMZ, Osama Lutfi, better known as Sam Lutfi, is officially under investigation by the LAPD for allegedly drugging Britney Spears.

Law enforcement sources say the Major Crimes Division of the LAPD is on the case. The conservators of Britney’s estate, her father Jamie Spears and his lawyer Andrew Wallet, have complained that Sam drugged Britney.

Britney’s mom (and Jamie’s ex-wife), Lynne Spears, made this claim in court documents, saying Sam Lufti did it to “keep her under his control.”

The LAPD says its investigation of Sam Lutfi is “very much active.”

Laying low, Sam Lutfi could not be reached for comment, however, Michael Sands, his spokesperson, confirmed his client is aware of the investigation.

Britney Spears’ family is doing all it can to keep Lutfi away from her as she receives treatment for bipolar disorder. As conservator, Jamie Spears has control of Britney’s legal, medical and financial decisions until at least March 10.

Her brother, Bryan Spears, is also helping manage her money as a trustee of her estate until Britney is capable of handling her own affairs again.

However, in a bizarre legal twist, a lawyer filed legal papers in federal court Friday asking a judge to seize control of the conservatorship case on grounds that Britney Spears is at great risk in the L.A. County Court system.

Legal experts say the federal court may now have jurisdiction simply due to the paperwork being filed by New York lawyer Jon Eardley.

Replacing Heath Ledger

Director Terry Gilliam has been faced with the difficult situation of finishing his film, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, which will be Heath Ledger's last movie, without him.

And, now, it seems that a solution has been reached that will allow the pic to be completed without its lead star.

Ledger's character steps through a mirror three different times and into different worlds. So three different actors will now inhabit his character's body in those segments of the film.

Those thesps are: Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell.

We think Heath would approve!

Posh Married Becks....Twice !!!

According to Daily Mirror, David and Victoria Beckham have secretly retaken their marriage vows - and got matching tattoos to celebrate the romantic occasion.

Romantic David Beckham arranged his secret second wedding to Victoria without even telling her - springing the surprise on the big day itself.

He handled everything from the cake, to the food, to even picking out her dress. After the ceremony he took her to Paris where he allowed her to buy anything she wanted.

He flew her to their sumptuous Beckingham Palace estate then went on one knee to pop the question for a second time.

Stunned Posh gasped: "Yes!" - and the couple were soon retaking their vows attended by sons Brooklyn and Romeo as page boys and watched by a handful of close friends and family.

Victoria was so delighted she later told a friend: "It was the second best day of my life - after our first wedding." The couple marked the occasion by having matching wrist tattoos of Roman numeral VIII.V.MMVI, which stands for 8 March 2006 - the date of the ceremony.



I hope Becks can plan Posh appearance to not be that hideous as this.

Jay Leno Is Still The King of Talk Show

HOW DOES HE DO IT? Throughout the writer’s strike, Jay Leno continued to win in the late night talk show ratings war. Despite not cutting a deal with the WGA to rehire writers (as Letterman did) and despite him having on Larry the Cable Guy four times (which is four too many), Leno thrived during the 100-day strike: “‘He was going solo and he was going up against his main rival, who benefited by having his writers with him,’ said Brad Adgate, research director for ad-buying firm Horizon Media. ‘But Leno was still able to maintain his lead over Letterman whether he had backup or not. That’s a real testament to Leno and his staying power.’”

The Greatest Natural Phenomenon On Earth - Aurora

Pity us who live in the Tropics region, as we had few chance to see the Auroras with our own eyes. In fact, I'm not even sure how many of us living in the tropical region who have actually heard the word "Aurora".

Auroras (Polar Lights; or aurorae, sing.: aurora) are natural different colored light displays, which are usually observed in the night sky, particularly in the polar zone. In northern latitudes, it is known as the Aurora Borealis. It often appears as a greenish glow (or sometimes a faint red), as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is only visible in the North sky from the Northern Hemisphere. The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and from March to April. Its southern counterpart, the aurora australis/southern polar lights, has similar properties.



How It Happens

All it takes is for the earth to have an atmosphere and the sun to eject ions at speeds up to 1200 km/second then BAM! You’ve got some unbelievable mother nature action.

Streaming plasma clouds, composed of fast moving charged particles, form a solar wind. It is the tangential interaction of the solar wind with the earth’s magnetic field that traps some of these charged particles. These trapped particles then flow along the magnetic field lines of the earth into the upper most regions of our planet’s atmosphere. That’s when the lights become manifest and their dance begins.

Natalie Cole Isn’t Happy That Amy Winehouse Won At The Grammy Awards



As quoted from US Weekly, Natalie Cole was upset about Amy Winehouse's big win at Grammy's recently.

“I’m going on record as an artist who is able to critique [Amy Winehouse],” Natalie Cole (a recovering drug addict herself) told reporters at a post-Grammys bash Sunday. “I think she has a great talent, but I don’t agree with the Grammys giving her those nods. I think it sends the wrong message, that even in the midst of her stupor of drugs she can get nominated for all these awards.

“It’s a slap in the face to musicians and artists who work very hard that they turn around and give it to someone who really obviously doesn’t have a grasp of what she has. I’ve been in this business over 25 years and I sacrificed five years of my own life on drugs and almost lost my life because of it.

“So I take great offense to almost see someone getting glory out of being in the position that they’re in — she needs to get her life together and embrace her craft, she will lose it if she doesn’t get it together.”

Personally, I am not that fond of Miss Winehouse. I don't like her songs, her attitude nor her exposure. But on the other hand, I believe an award for artistic category whether for music, movies or literature, should be given based on the quality of the respective nominees for the said category and that alone. For example, if the category is for the best song, and if Miss Winehouse song is really that good according to respective voters, that alone should be sufficient for it to win that category, as the rest is and should be irrelevant in the process of judging. Afterall, it is the song that is being judged and not the artist singing the song. If it is for best vocal performance, it should be the vocal and/or performance that should be judged, and that alone determines the winner.

As such, I found it funny that this type of comment should come out from a former crackhead herself. Please be reminded, we are not judging for the best role model award nor are we judging for the best singer award. To award an artist when he or she did good later is nonsense as by then, the item being judged might not be as good as before.

Whatever it is, I think Natalie Cole is not that great anyway....perhaps a little bit exposure is what she expected from her outrageous but dumb comment.

Sisipan dari Email: Keistimewaan Adi Putra

Keistimewaan lain Adi Putra
Oleh ZAMRI RAMBLI



SAYA pertama kali bertemu Adi Putra pada November 2005 di rumah datuknya di Tanjung Malim, Perak. Dalam pertemuan itu, Adi Putra telah menyelesaikan masalah darab matematik sepantas empat saat, sedangkan saya baru separuh jalan menekan punat nombor kalkulator. Adi baru berusia enam tahun ketika itu.

Saya juga terkejut dengan kepantasan Adi Putra mencongak, beberapa kiraan pendaraban yang lain seperti ribu dengan ribu, pengiraan isi padu silinder, pecahan dan perpuluhan di atas. Dalam diam, saya mengagumi kepintaran Adi Putra dan sekali sekala berasa diri saya kerdil di hadapannya.

Dua tahun kemudian, minggu ini, saya teruja lagi dengan pemilik wajah comel ini - Adi Putra dikatakan memiliki kelebihan lain selain matematik iaitu apa yang dipanggil deria keenam atau gerak hati.

Ahad lepas, Adi Putra berkunjung ke rumah keluarga Sharlinie Mohd Nashar, 5, yang hilang di Taman Medan, Petaling Jaya, sejak 9 Januari lalu. Menurut Adi Putra, beliau sedang cuba mencari Sharlinie menggunakan 'caranya'.

Ketika lawatannya, Adi Putra turut memberikan formula berbentuk pil bagi menenangkan perasaan ibu dan bapa Sharlinie selain pergi ke padang tempat Sharlinie dilihat sebelum kehilangannya.

Kemudian, Adi Putra membawa sekumpulan anggota polis ke Ulu Yam, Gombak selepas mendapat petunjuk Sharlinie pernah berada di situ. Walaupun, kecewa kerana hanya mendapat jejak kosong, penemuan satu tulisan bertulis 'media' di atas tanah memang mengejutkan. Ia dikatakan ditulis oleh penculik terbabit yang marahkan pihak media.

Menurut bapanya, Abdul Ghani Abdul Wahid, 49, sebenarnya ini bukanlah bantuan pertama yang diberikan oleh Adi Putra berkaitan orang hilang.

"Pernah sekali seorang kanak-kanak dipercayai lemas sudah 18 hari tidak ditemui. Keluarganya datang pun untuk minta tolong kalau-kalau boleh diberi petunjuk walaupun hanya untuk dapatkan tulang anaknya.

"Kami turun sendiri ke kampung mangsa untuk mencari. Bayangkan kami mencari di sebatang sungai dari tengah malam sampai pukul 5 pagi. Kemudian Adi Putra ajak balik. Sekitar pukul 7 pagi, keluarga mangsa telefon memberitahu mereka sudah menemui mayatnya dan ia masih dalam keadaan baik," cerita Abdul Ghani.

Akui beliau, Adi Putra tidak mahu menemui mayat mangsa secara terus kerana tidak suka mendabik dada. "Adi Putra usahakan dan biarkan orang lain yang temui, jadi orang tidak terlalu mengaitkannya dengan Adi Putra," katanya.

Dan Khamis lalu, saya berpeluang berbual santai dengan Adi Putra untuk menyelami kepintaran matematiknya dan bagaimana anak kecil ini melihat dunia. Saya juga ingin memahami sisi lain seorang Adi Putra.


"KASIH ibu. Serihana Elias dan suami terus mencari formula terbaik untuk membesarkan anak genius mereka."


*******************************************************************************

Saya dibenarkan menemu bual Adi Putra secara bersendirian tanpa ditemani ibu bapanya - sesuatu yang jarang diperoleh media lain.

Sepanjang temu bual itu, sambil mulutnya semakin lancar menjawab soalan saya (berbanding dua tahun lalu dia lebih pendiam), tangannya juga pantas menekan punat permainan video.

Dan sebelum saya pulang, Adi Putra sempat berpesan: "Untuk abang, Adi nasihatkan baca Alam Nasyrah (surah al-Insyirah) setiap hari."

Saya tanya kenapa surah itu? Jawab Adi: "Untuk rezeki abang."

Dan untuk kesekian kalinya, saya melihat keistimewaan Adi Putra dan ia sukar diterangkan.

Selebihnya, Adi Putra seperti kanak-kanak sebayanya - makan KFC, gemar menonton siri kartun Naruto, menunggang motosikal mini dan meminati penyanyi Adam AF2.

*******************************************************************************

EKSTRA!

Dari mana Adi Putra dapat ilham mencipta Sajak Akulah Adi Putra, Anak Merdeka?

ADI PUTRA: Maksudnya, masa Adi buat apa ya? Adi dapat sebelum tidur. Dalam pukul 3 atau 4 pagi.

Macam mana boleh terfikir?

Tak tahu, tiba-tiba terlintas dalam fikiran. Adi karang dan ambil masa dua hari.

Dalam sajak itu Adi mengajak bangsa kita bangunkan negara dengan bertemankan surah Yasin dan matematik. Kenapa surah Yasin dan matematik?

Sebab matematik itu tunjang ilmu dan Yasin pula untuk penerang hati.

Adi baru berusia sembilan tahun tapi ada banyak maklumat yang Adi tahu selain matematik. Dari mana Adi tahu semua itu? Adi membaca buku atau ada orang yang ajar?

Adi tidak ke sekolah sekarang. Apa yang Adi buat setiap hari?

Pagi-pagi lepas mandi, Adi biasanya suka main permainan video. Petang ada kelas tahfiz dan bahasa Inggeris. Lepas itu, Adi main badminton atau naik motosikal kecil.

Adi kata masa di sekolah dulu (Sekolah Islam Antarabangsa, Gombak) Adi macam 'kereta Ferrari yang dibawa seperti kereta kancil'. Sebab apa Adi kata macam tu?

Otak Adi ni, diibaratnya macam kereta Ferrari. Tetapi dibuatnya macam budak darjah satu. Maka rosaklah otak Adi. Dekat Malaysia ni bukannya ada orang yang boleh repair otak Adi. Perumpamaan tu memang Adi terfikir macam tu jelah.

Adi banyak cipta formula matematik, apa lagi formula yang Adi nak cipta selepas ini?

200 lebih (formula matematik) sudah ada sekarang. Insya-Allah kalau ada lagi yang terbaru Adi akan tambah.

Apa yang ingin Adi cipta bila besar nanti?

Insya-Allah Adi akan cipta dua jenis satelit. Satu satelit angkasa dan dua satelit bumi untuk negara-negara Islam sahaja dengan menggunakan password al-Quran. Satu kita guna alif, dua kita gunakan ba, tiga kita gunakan ta.

Kenapa Adi suka cipta formula pada waktu tengah malam?

Ilham datang waktu itu.

Apa permainan komputer dan video kesukaan Adi?

Counter Strike, game tembak-tembak...Ada juga main game Meet the Robinsons.

Bila besar Adi nak jadi apa?

Adi nak jadi profesor matematik Islam.

Adi tahu Adi terkenal sekarang?

Tahu juga. Adi tahu sebab ada orang tegur, baca paper dan tengok TV. Tapi paling banyak orang tegur la. Yang tegur ada tua dan muda.

Adi selalu jumpa bermacam-macam orang termasuk menteri dan sultan. Adi tak takut jumpa mereka?

Tak sangat. Perasaan biasa saja. Tidak ada apa-apa yang Adi fikirkan. Biasa sahaja.

Ketika beri ceramah pada orang ramai masa seminar, Adi tak rasa gementar?

Tak gementar. Adi bagi seminar matematik untuk pelajar, guru dan usahawan.

Apa yang Adi Putra tahu tentang Sharlinie?Kenapa Adi nak tolong cari Sharlinie?

Sebabkan polis minta. Tapi mula-mula Adi baca surat khabar. Adi bagi tahu ayah, Adi hendak tolong.

Apa yang Adi nampak masa pergi rumah Sharlinie?

Adi nampak (Sharlinie). Tapi tak tahu lokasi betulnya. Adi fikir pasal dia, Adi doa dan tiba-tiba Adi terlintas (dalam hati). Masa tu Sharlinie tak buat apa-apa.

Adi tahu di mana Sharlinie sekarang?

(Adi diam. Dia terus bermain permainan video)

Ketika ke Ulu Yam bersama polis tempoh hari, Adi yakin Sharlinie pernah dibawa ke situ?

Tak tahu, tapi memang tempat tu yang terlintas di fikiran Adi.

Bagaimana Adi tahu? Adi ada dengar suara bisikan, nampak sesuatu atau ia tiba-tiba ada dalam hati?

Memang terfikir begitu. Perkara itu memang datang dalam fikiran. Macam ada benda juga yang bagi tahu dekat Adi.

Semasa memberi ubat pada ibu Sharlinie supaya dia berasa lebih tenang, apa yang Adi baca?

Adi dah buat air tu yang dibacakan dengan doa.

Doa apa?

Maaf, tak boleh Adi bagi tahu.

Adi boleh baca apa yang ada dalam fikiran orang?

Boleh juga. Melalui gerak hati Adi. Tengok badan orang tu, Adi boleh baca. Adi boleh terlintas (dalam hati) kalau ada orang datang dengan niat tak baik.

Adi tetap salam, jangan bersikap sombong. Cuma Adi berdoa pada Allah agar dia tak buat benda jahat.

Adakah letih menjadi seorang genius?

Tak letih dengan matematik, cuma letih selalu layan ramai orang. Tapi Adi syukur pada Allah.

Apa ucapan untuk ibu dan ayah?

Semoga panjang umur. Terima kasih sebab jaga Adi.

Sudah berapa banyak Adi hafal al-Quran?

Adi baru belajar tahfiz - Adi belajar mengaji dan hafaz sekali. Adi dah hafal lebih kurang 11 hingga 12 ayat dari surah al-Baqarah

Chairman Mao Offered U.S. 10 Million Women

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Amid a discussion of trade in 1973, Chinese leader Mao Zedong made what U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger called a novel proposition: sending tens of thousands, even 10 million, Chinese women to the United States.

"You know, China is a very poor country," Mao said, according to a document released by the State Department's historian office.

"We don't have much. What we have in excess is women. So if you want them we can give a few of those to you, some tens of thousands."

A few minutes later, Mao circled back to the offer. "Do you want our Chinese women?" he asked. "We can give you 10 million."

After Kissinger noted Mao was "improving his offer," the chairman said, "We have too many women. ... They give birth to children and our children are too many."

"It is such a novel proposition," Kissinger replied in his discussion with Mao in Beijing. "We will have to study it."

It's Creepy Reading Michelle William's Last Interview Before Heath Ledger's Death



US actress Michelle Williams has spoken of her break-up with Heath Ledger and life as a single mother in an interview she gave before the Australian actor's death in January.

Williams, 27, said she is coming to terms with her new life after splitting from Ledger last September in an interview with UK magazine Wonderland, published today.

Eerily, she also talks about shooting a movie, where she pays a woman grieving over the loss of her husband.

EXCERPT FROM THE INTERVIEW

ON SPLITTING WITH HEATH
“When you’re in a relationship with somebody who is also a public personality then it doubles the attention from the media. When you minus that equation it’s just less enticing. That’s been a real bonus. It’s the plus side of the break-up for me. It was so pervading, it got bad there for a while. Every time I walk out of the door I still worry. That’s what is so silly about it: even if the paparazzi aren’t there, you wonder if they are. I’m not good at that stuff. I need to get better at it. It really used to affect me.”


ON BALANCING WORK AND MOTHERHOOD
“It’s not easy. Last April I was over in London doing a movie called Incendiary with Ewan McGregor. It’s about a woman grieving after losing her husband and son in a terrorist attack. It was a brutal role and arduous: six-day weeks, 14 hour-days. I was like the walking dead towards the end. Matilda would visit me everyday on-set for lunch and I’d race home to put her to bed. My only days off were Sundays and as much as I’d want to pass out, I’d try to take her out somewhere fun so she didn’t associate me with boredom. The only time that is really my own these days is after I’ve put her to bed and until I go to bed. That’s about two hours.”


ON SKIPPING KATIE HOLMES’ WEDDING
“Everybody wants to know that. No, I didn’t go because I was working on The Tourist. To be honest, we’re not really in touch.”

MH is Malaysian Hospitality

Are you aware that Malaysia Airlines is going through a new "branding" campaign ? They are trying to differentiate themselves from the Low Cost Airlines and other competitors, by promising that their specialties are in providing the best service through its MH is Malaysian Hospitality campaign.

To be honest, Malaysia Airlines is a pretty good airline. Most of the time, their service is above the par. The problem is inconsistency. As I have said before, most of the time, they are good...in fact excellence. But at times, their courtesy and friendliness dissapeared, their food got stale and the air plane was not in good shape, I mean in terms of the equipment and such.

Nevertheless, through my experience taking a lot of flights from different airlines, Malaysia Airlines do excel in the industry, which I believe is at par with marquee airliners such as Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific. Their track records in terms of safety is still impeccable, and as such, I believe they can still survive the competition, if they mange to pull this rebranding exercises well.

It's not fair to compare MAS with Air Asia in terms of price, because both airliners were designed to operate differently. Air Asia will strive for value in lieu of hospitality. Malaysia Airlines, being a national carrier, modus operandi, is to provide enough comfort for air travellers, to compete with marquee airliners. It's difficult to manage MAS cost the way Air Asia does. MAS have to contend with three different approach - short haul, middle distance haul and long distance flight. As such, MAS have to invest in various airplanes...Boeing 737, Boeng 777, Boeing 747, Fokker etc. MAS has to maintain different parts, equipments, ground crew, support crew, maintenance crew etc. This all add to cost. MAS too has to offer different classes for different group of people - economy, business and first class, as they service not only normal citizens but also dignitaries of this country.

Nevertheless, MAS did offer some promotions from time to time to attract the cost-conscious travellers, but then again...it's just difficult for them to do more than that to compete with Low Cost Airliners in terms of cost.

PM Bubarkan Parlimen...Pilihanraya Semakin Hampir

Aku pun tak paham lah Pak Lah ni...terlalu sangat nak tunjuk bahawa segalanya di dalam tangan dan pengetahuan beliau. Segala-gala jawapan kepada media ada-ada unsur "No komen", "Macammana mereka tahu ?" dan "Hanya saya sahaja yang tahu !!!", walaupun khabar angin tersebut bukan lagi angin....sebab dah seluruh jentera kerajaan dah tahu dan berbisik-bisik mengenainya.


Yang paling terbaru kes hari ini. Bila ditanya wartawan, dengan konfiden dan selamba, beliau mengatakan Parlimen tidak akan dibubarkan hari ini. Tak sampai 24 jam kenyataan beliau dikelurkan dan dirakam oleh pihak media, malah dipaparkan di dada-dada akhbar, beliau telah membubarkan Parlimen.


Jadi aku pun rasa musykil apa yang hendak dibuktikan oleh beliau.....samaada beliau yang berkuasa tentang apa-apa di Malaysia atau saja suka-suka. Bukannya apa, peristiwa hari ini nampak kelakarlah pada pandangan aku. Apa salahnya dengan gentlemen, beliau memberitahu apa yang patut diberitahu, atau paling tidak sekadar senyum dan menepis dengan cara yang lebih elok. Bukannya apa lagi...takut-takut kredibiliti beliau yang sentiasa bersih, jujur dan ikhlas tercalar disebabkan insiden-insiden sebegini.


Walau apapun, pilihanraya semakin hampir. Kalau nak tahu kawasan mana anda mengundi, anda boleh periksa daftar undi di sini -----> Semakan Daftar Pemilih

Self-Rule Likely in Southern Thailand

Thailand's new government will consider granting some degree of self-rule to Muslim majority provinces hit by bloody separatist unrest, Interior Minister Chalerm Yubamrung said yesterday.

"I want to reaffirm that autonomy is possible, but we will have to discuss what type of autonomy it will be," Chalerm said.

However, Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej was cautious about the proposal, saying his government would develop its policy on the insurgency within a few days.

"What Chalerm proposed, he thinks a good idea. But I think this idea could be dangerous and it could get out of hand," he said after his second Cabinet meeting.

Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson in W Magazine

Wow, this is way too much information for me to absorb. Natalie Portman talking about Porn. Scarlett & Portman posing scantily clad together. The new article and pictures of both Portman & Scarlett Johannsson for the latest W Magazine is too much for me to take.

Posing together for the W Magazine cover, Scarlett Johansson & Natalie Portman has been the dream of most men, bachelor or not. Sure, they are different in so much way imagined, but for most it's better this way, as there is no point of owning two similar properties...it's just better having two different yet elegant ones, whatever they meant.

According to W Magazine, the 23-year-old Johansson is a modern Marilyn Monroe, complete with platinum mane, fleshy curves and a sexy-throaty voice. The 26-year-old Portman, in contrast, is the very embodiment of delicacy and refinement: small, perfectly shaped features, boyish body and careful Ivy League diction. See, that's why the two of them together completes every men's dream. They are just two of the three pieces that completes the puzzle. The other piece is me, off course.

You can count on seeing a lot of these two incredible beauties together over the next few weeks as they go around talking about their new movie, The Other Boleyn Girl. Natalie equates their film to "history through porn." OK, that's enough. I don't know what I write anymore...and please excuse me, but I have to go to the men's room.

Microsoft is A Stubborn Company










Maybe that's why they succeeds.

Anyway, despite spurned on Monday in its offer to buy Yahoo! Inc for US$ 44.6 billion, Microsoft is "moving forward" with the proposal and may take the bid straight to shareholders.

In a statement, Microsoft said "It is unfortunate that Yahoo has not embraced our full and fair proposal to combine our companies."

Or in other words, Microsoft is begging for Yahoo to join the pact of the devil. Perhaps, another offer for Google, after the possible merger will complete the pack. The new search engine will then be Micro Yagoohoogle.....

Would You Enjoy Having Tom Cruise as Your Valentine's Date ?


What a matching couple ? Or Are They Actually The Same Person ?

I am not so sure anyone do, nowadays....since the former hearthrob is getting creepier and creepier by day. I am not even sure Mrs. Cruise herself will enjoy Mr. Cruise presence. But, what do I know...maybe both of them are in the same Scientology wavelength.

According to USMagazine.com, Tom Cruise did have some plan this coming Valentine. He elaborated "I have plans", when asked at the opening of the Eli Broad Contemporary Art Museum last night. When pressed by the interviewer, whether the plan will involved something romantic, Mr. Cruise answered, "It will".

I hope Mrs. Cruise will enjoy the lengthy philosophical conversation about spaceship and our final destination. Perhaps she will enjoy some futuristic dinner and a lot of lubricant after that.

Carrie Underwood Is Open To Acting ?



Why is it that popular singer always assume that they can be a good actor as well ?

Following her big win at the Grammy's Sunday night, Carrie Underwood, has said that her next big project could be on the silver screen.

The American Idol star has revealed that she has already been offered some acting roles, but wouldn’t say in what. My guess is that she will be singing and showing a little bit of skin on the screen, just to get both women and mostly bored and desperate men to be in the movie theaters.

The Lingam Video Inquiry Get More Interesting

When reading about the testimonies in the Lingam Video Inquiry, I sometimes wonder whether I am actually reading the plots of a daytime soap opera. The plot and subplot of the inquiry will definitely make a good court drama ala Hollywood, and if I were to commit the whole strory into a blog, it will definitely be a full-time job for me.

Anyway, from yesterday's session, Lingam's former secretary, G. Jayanti, testified that

1. Lingam wrote judgment in Vincent Tan's case.
2. ACA closed case as it involved many high-ranking government officails
3. She arranged Lingam and former Chief Justice, Eusoff Chin's New zealand trip.
4. She got fired by Lingam, as the Lingam accused her of stealing one million Berjaya (a company owned by Vincent Tan) shares, which later were found out to be untrue, as Lingam himself found the missing shares.

According to Jayanti, a copy of draft judgment prepared by Lingam's office which have necessary corrections on it with red ink was found to be fully incorporated in the official judgment of Justice Mokhtar Sidin, the judge involved in the Vincent Tan's case.

Testifying as the 19th witness, Jayanti said she has given her statement to the ACA three times in April 1998, in connection to ACA's investigation of Lingam's dealing with judges. However, three months later, the ACA called and told her that the file had to be closed as it involved many high-ranking Government people. She claimed she was given RM3,000 "award" after that.

Jayanti also revealed that Lingam's trip to New Zealand with former Chief Justice Tun Eusoff Chin and their families was pre-planned. Upon instruction from her former boss to follow up with Holiday Tours and Travel to get the necessary travel itinerary and tickets issued, she received Singapore-New Zealand return tickets for both families as well as a Vincent Tan's bodyguard. All the flights were the same for all parties except the initial KL-Singapore flight for Eusoff's family, which was half an hour different than that of Lingam's family, based on the lawyer's instructions.

She also recounted on how W. Satchithanandhan advise her to keep three rolls of filem of Lingam's-Eusoff Trip and ticket stubs from the trip for "future use".

There also some side drama on top of the main event. First, Lingam and Eusoff Chin are seeking to remove two commissioners, Datuk Mahadev Shankar and Professor Emeritus Datuk Dr. Khoo Kay Kim, from the inquiry. Next, we have another commissioner clarifying why Anwar and Aliran were barred from proceedings. Finally, we have another mini soap opera in which Lingam's brother claimed that he was pressured to fake insanity after ACA recorded his statement on Lingam's alleged corrupt practices.

Well, that's all for now...but I bet more skeleton will be revealed as the inquiries dragged on.

Yeah...I don't know why but I'm obsessed with pregnant celebrities.

Here's Jessica Alba looking more radiant than ever and with better choice of clothes as well....

Q&A on Women...by Men

Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can’t even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you.

Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It’s one of those “evolutionary things” that allows them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.

How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?
When she starts her sentence with “A man once told me…”

How do you fix a woman’s watch?
You don’t. There is a clock on the oven.

Why do men break wind more than women?
Because women can’t shut up long enough to build up the required pressure.

I married Miss Right.
I just didn’t know her first name was Always.

Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman’s sex drive by 90%. It’s called a Wedding Cake.

Why do men die before their wives?
They want to.

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

Obama Won Convincingly in 3 States, Huckabee Won in Kansas

Senator Barack Obama won decisive victories over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in Washington, Louisiana and Nebraska on Saturday, giving him an impressive sweep going into a month when the Democratic nominating contests are expected to favor him.

The successes come just as Obama is building a strong advantage over Clinton in raising money, providing important fuel for the nominating contests ahead. Still, the results were expected to do little to settle the muddle in the delegate race that resulted after the wave of contests last Tuesday in which the two candidates split up states from coast to coast.

In Republican contests on Saturday, Mike Huckabee won in Kansas, an embarrassing setback for Senator John McCain as he tries to rally the party around him as the nominee. The candidates were battling in Louisiana and Washington, where the results were too close to call. The Associated Press called the Louisiana race for Huckabee and the Washington race for McCain.

While Obama had been expected to win the contests on Saturday, the margin of victories were surprising, particularly in Nebraska and Washington, which offered the day's biggest trove of delegates. In both states, he captured 68 percent of the vote in caucuses, compared with Clinton's roughly 32 percent.

Australian Murderer Kept Body for 23 Years

CANBERRA (Reuters): An Australian man was convicted on Saturday of killing his wife and then hiding her body in a metal drum in his garage for 23 years.

A Supreme Court jury in the southern Victoria state found Frederick Boyle, 58, killed his 30-year-old wife Edwina Boyle in October 1983, and then hid her body in the large metal drum.

The trial heard the murder came to light when Boyle's son-in-law opened the drum and found a bag of women's clothing during a clean-up of the family home in 2006. Two weeks later he found human remains in a garbage bin in the garage.

Boyle had pleaded not guilty to the murder and said he hid the body after finding his wife dead in bed. He told their children his wife had left him and run off with a truck driver.

But prosecutors said Boyle shot his wife in the head.

Very Good Pay Accounting Job - Joke of The Day

Fresh out of business school, the young man answered a want ad for an accountant. Now he was being interviewed by a highly agitated, arrogant little man who ran a small business that he had started from scratch.

“I need someone with an accounting degree,” the man said. “But mainly, I’m looking for someone to do my worrying for me.”

“How’s that?” the would be accountant asked.

“I worry about a lot of things,” the man said. “But I don’t want to have to worry about money. Your job will be to take all the money worries off my back.”

“I see,” the accountant said. “And how much will my position pay?”

“I’ll start you at eighty five thousand,” responded the owner decisively.

“Eighty five thousand dollars!” the accountant exclaimed. “How can such a small business afford a sum like that?”

“That,” the owner said, “is your first worry. Now get to work!”

Polaroid No Longer Does Polaroids



The brand synonymous with instant film is killing off the Polaroid film format and attempting to reinvent the brand so it "lives on for the next 30 to 40 years." In the short term that means closing factories in Massachusetts, Mexico and the Netherlands, cutting 450 jobs, and breaking the hearts of hipster-photographers the world over.

Obviously the concept of Polaroids was never going to be much more than a niche in the age of digital photos, and the Polaroid / Zink Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer is filling the instant development void left behind, but it's still sad to see a format with so much history and fond memories die, especially since Polaroid spends the majority of its time these days slapping its de-valued logo onto rubbish commodity electronics.

Heath Ledger Cremated



Heath Ledger was memorialized in a service attended by hundreds and a 10-person private funeral Saturday in his hometown of Perth, Australia.

Ex Michelle Williams, Gemma Ward and Cate Blanchett were among the hundreds of mourners who attended the first service, held in the theater of Penrhos College, according to Australia's The Age newspaper.

The papers says Williams appeared distraught and was leaning on the arm of Ledger's sister, Kate, who later gave a speech.

A mourner told the paper, "Kate (Ledger) spoke of the unique bond she shared with her brother, how he would ring her three or four times a day and how he never forgot his friends even at the height of his fame."

Blanchett also delivered an emotional eulogy.

"He achieved so much in his short life and was capable of so much in the future," she said.

Ledger's favorite songs were played at the memorial, including "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes, "The Times, They are A-Changin'" by Bob Dylan, the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun" and "Come Together," and Ben Harper's "Happily Ever After," which Harper wrote for Ledger and Williams' two-year-old daughter Matilda.

Following the service, 10 close family members went to Fremantle Cemetery, where the paper wrote that Ledger was cremated.

Next, guests gathered at nearby Indiana's Restaurant on Cottesloe Beach. As the sun was setting, about 50 guests, "just dropped their clothes and swam into the water in their underwear," an eyewitness tells Usmagazine.com.



The onlooker adds: “After a while Michelle Williams came down and went swimming in her dress. Security guards were waiting for her with a towel when she emerged. Kate Ledger then came down, to tremendous cheer from the partygoers, before diving in fully clothed.”



Ledger's parents watched the emotional moment from the restaurant balcony.

"Everyone in the water started slapping the water and shouting, 'Heath,' in kind of mass relief that the stress of the occasion was behind them," the witness tells Us.
