Shopping can be a very daunting task especially when you need to compare prices of a few merchants to get the best deal. It will be time wasting if the merchants are located away from each others and you have to drive around and look for parking.

Now you can do it all in the comfort of your home. The website, Shopping.com has a very comprehensive catalogue of products from home appliances to perfume and lingeries to video games. They list the prices of all the participating merchants for a particular product and you can compare the prices. It also allows you to buy it right away… online. How easy is that?!

Man, you just gotta check it out. I find that their wine directory is very useful to learn about wine, the jargons, and types of wine. You compare prices for almost everything you need in your day to day life at Shopping.com.

Ok… hi everyone. Its hard to post nowadays as work has been a bit shitty. Tension ler. Everything they want fast, and you have to run up and down and business come truckload and the bosses are laughing BUT the workers are all stressed up. We only have a pair of hands. We gotta drive in KL traffic. We don’t just sit in office. Sometimes it is not wise to waste hours in traffic jam to go back to office to do work. Now Merimen is giving some problem.

I don’t know. Recently in class, the teacher said something very worth pondering. Its about business, economic and demographic. This may be piece of cake to some of you.

You see, our Malaysian public transportation system is screwed up. Everyone drives a car to work. Everyone fill up their fuel tank. Then everyone stuck in jams and use up a lot of fuel. Government couldn’t afford to subsidise anymore hence the raise in fuel price. I wonder if we are consuming more fuel than we produce. Sometime it is really shitty, why we can’t be like the Arabs? They have oil, we also have oil. They are filthy rich. We? What about just having 20% of their wealth. Yet again, SOV is still problem to date.

I also heard of that the younger generation in some developed country (ok fine, we are not developed yet) are not keen in buying cars. They just don’t want to buy a car and don’t see a reason in buying a car. Well, that only if their public transport is good. Then they can spend money in buying the latest gadgets which I think is better than buying cars. A car is just a car.

Traffic jam is wasting time and the time could well be used to make money. If everyone in KL stuck in a tiring jam for 2 hours daily…. you can do the maths. Now I know why for instance, Singapore is rich. They have a good public transport system and not so fuel consuming as compared to our country. But then…. if our public transport is upgraded up to par with Singapore’s…. then Proton and Perodua will see a huge drop in sales if not go out of business?? Our country is just consuming too much fuel. And do you know how much is the parking fees in KL lately?

Ayoyo.

PETALING JAYA: Check your RM100 and RM50 notes, folks! Hold each note up to the light and if you can’t see the first King’s watermark portrait, it’s a fake.

Fruit vendor Loh Man, 53, discovered three days after a couple bought RM15 worth of fruits at his stall in Old Klang Road that the RM100 note they used to buy the fruits with was counterfeit.

Loh Man realised something was amiss when the colour on the note started to fade and the watermark of the King was missing when the note was held up to the light.

He sought the help of MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong who said this was the first RM100 fake note he had come across. He said he had been previously alerted of RM50 fake notes.

“Just hold the notes up to the light and check,” he advised the public at a press conference.

“The watermark portrait can be seen easily. At the base of the watermark, the numeral 100 is clearly visible in a real note but absent in counterfeit ones,” he said, adding that fake notes were also deeper in colour.

To demonstrate how easy it was to pass off the RM100 fake note as the real thing, Chong and a few reporters tested them out on merchants, who thought the notes to be real.

“I am very surprised that I managed to get through five merchants without being detected,” Chong said, adding that one trader took a close look at the note but still did not suspect anything.

Chong said he had seen a number of fake RM50 notes but claimed that Loh’s fake RM100 note was more sophisticated.

”I will bring the matter up to Bank Negara,” he said.

Manchester United are the Champions of Europe and the Champions of England too.

MOSCOW, May 21 (Reuters) – Ryan Giggs broke Bobby Charlton’s all-time Manchester United club appearance record on Wednesday when he replaced Paul Scholes after 87 minutes of the Champions League final against Chelsea at the Luzhniki Stadium.

It was Giggs’ 759th appearance for United, surpassing Charlton’s mark of 758 which was also set against Chelsea in his last match for United in April 1973.

After Giggs had helped his side to another Champions League triumph – this time over Chelsea – he dismissed any suggestions he was ready to retire by declaring: ‘I want nights like this again.’

He told Sky Sports he was confident about taking his penalty in the shoot-out, but still believes the 1999 final was more dramatic.

‘I don’t think you can beat ’99,’ Giggs said.

‘Penalties can be a lottery. It’s how close the teams have been all season.’

Giggs said it was a proud moment to beat Sir Bobby Charlton’s appearance record for United, especially on a night of Champions League glory.

‘It is a proud achievement for myself and my family,’ he said.

‘But in the end it’s all about winning trophies.’

Congrats to Towkay for shifting back to hometown again. Well, he have almost everything at home (yeah, it is actually his old home given to him by his dad), so all the buddies contributed a high tech mahjong table and rummy set for him. Nowadays, mahjong table don’t need mahjong papers anymore. And of course we all contributors have to autograph the present with permanent marker pen. Hope the table will last a lifetime.

It is one of the most interesting mahjong table with autographs and grafitti. So… Siow Hui and the-soon-to-be-born baby, welcome to Selayang Utama. Next month there’ll be another addition to the selayang clan. Congrats again.

In a year that marks 50 years since Munich and 40 since United’s first European Cup success, there has been plenty to look back on this season. But Wayne Rooney wants to write a new chapter in the Reds’ history in Moscow.

Having already beaten Chelsea to the title, Rooney says the players are relaxed and confident. “We enjoyed ourselves last Sunday, but we’re holding back celebrations until after Wednesday,” he says. “Hopefully then we’ll have even more to celebrate.

“We’re more relaxed with the Premier League in the bag. Chelsea might be more anxious because if they don’t win then they’ll win nothing this season. Maybe that helps us, but I’m sure winning the league won’t make it an easier game.”

Sir Alex Ferguson has frequently stated his belief that United, based on stature and past opportunities, should have won more European Cups. Rooney, too, aims to alter that record, and with 1958 and 1968 in mind, hopes fate plays a part in 2008.

“The Champions League is very important, not least because of the club’s history in the tournament,” he adds. “There was the Munich tragedy in 1958 and winning it 10 years later. It’d be good for the club and the players to win it again.

“When you walk around the training ground there are pictures from ’58, ’68 all the way through to today. There’s a big history at this club and the players are well educated on it. I’m excited about the final. I’d like to go to bed and get up on Wednesday! It’s like Christmas when you were a kid – I just can’t wait to get there.”
