The Star of UAE

While all eyes are still focused on our celebrity US President-Barack Obama, a round applause should be given to His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, UAE.

As of what made the Dubai Ruler hero of the day in this tiny lil' blogspace here will be very much justified by his following achievements:

1. He's the Ruler, Prime Minister, entrepreneur, & developer-king of Dubai UAE.
2. He turned the Arab land into a world financial capital, comparable to London & New York City in terms of standard of living/networth.
3. He broke taboos by criticizing who “sit around waiting, praising our glorious past and blaming others for our failures and problems.” - source
4. His proven management strategies by electing the State's 4 top advisers (the so-called 4 horsemen) as leaders of the State's leading companies & forcing them to compete against each other, increasing the overall productivity in the State leading to the constrction of world tallest skyscraper.
5. Forging diplomatic relationships with other renowned country leaders, along with official & unofficial visits to the respective countries.
6. Developing Dubai's world-beating buildings where all other nations should be jealous of( Burj Al-Arab, Palm Islands, Ski Dubai, Burj Tower, Hydropolis), which I'm certain that China will come up with something to counter such sentiment.
7. Lastly, he tweets!

And now, the unexpected big bad debt Dubai is facing due to '07 economy crisis will be yet another great challenge to test his capabilities. As of what he indicated to the press "By that standard, the State's prosperity & extraordinary record of peace and stability are far more important than a few billion dollars of bad debt".

Malaysia Boleh — can we achieve the 2020 Vision in just another 11 years' grace period? That's something I'll like to see in the future.

A foreseeable risk for fresh grads

As the world economy is slowly on the recovery track from the '07-'09 financial crisis owing mainly to US sub-prime mortgage crisis, there's this rush of fresh graduates purchasing properties right after few months joining the workforce in Msia. Such temptation of owning a property is further enhanced by those fancy2 fresh graduate housing loan schemes offered by our local banks. These HL schemes are so flexible that one can easily get a loan with minimal requirements.

Its may be quite a favorable situation for grads who are really in need of a house, but do bear in mind that our still-healthy economy is currently maintained mainly by the people's positive sentiments. There's no solid forecast of how long can the our property bubble lasts b4 it bursts, esp with the Dubai debt crisis on its way. Not to mention that the nation's property market is nearing its peak due to the fact that most Asians assume buying properties will be the best investment all way round. There are many other factors to consider other than just looking at the best interest rates a bank can offer nowadays. Take note that our current Base Lending Rate, 5.55% is actually at one of its lowest point compared to years before, so there's no promise of how long can it be maintained for the coming years ... esp with current economy condition.

Important factors to take note when u're seriously considering of getting a property:

1. accessibility - is the property easily accessible via highways/public transportation? how far is the place from schools, shops, & other basic facilities?
   
2. property type - freehold/leasehold? commonly speaking a landed freehold property is always the best choice, yet nowadays people opt for service residence (condos etc) due to the high market value of landed prop.
3. financial stability - its much better to check if u're can afford the 10% down-payment & +-5% legal fees as most banks nowadays dont cover full loan amount.
4. Project developer - for uncompleted properties, its good to get vital info on the related developer to ensure that ur property will be duly completed. Its wise to go for renowned developers e.g. Sime Darby, IJM, Malton, UMLand, etc ... instead of some newly established co.
5. Pricing - always try to get the best from real-estate agents. Nvr trust 1, manipulate as many as u can. it will be better if u check on the market value of the property from valuers e.g. Regroup, KGV, Raine Horne etc b4 purchasing one. Certain residential areas are really a good catch esp those in Mont Kiara, Kenny Heights, Kinrara, & Damasara. But these areas are usually out of fresh grads' reach as they cant really afford the repayment.
6. Think - dont buy if u dont need to. always take ur steps carefully as 1 bad investment will do some great damage to ur financial standing.

How to crap intelligently?

_______

*edited*
Fellow mages, its time to whore for heroes, b4 the continuous battle in Terra =P

_______

If u wanna learn how to cock crap intelligently, read this. A portion which i find it interesting enuf:

"And are we so different? Did not Muhammad learn from the Christians and much of Islam ‘adopted’ from Christianity? Does not the Ka’bah also appear in the same name and form in the land of the Zoroastrians in the far reaches of Persia? Did not Jesus disappear from the ages of 12 to 30 when he sought tuition from Buddhists, as many now believe? Did not John the Baptist practice what was practiced by the Hindus in India of his time? But what can we really believe? Do we really know what was fact and fiction thousands of years ago? What we do know is what we have been told to believe. And what we are told to believe is what they want us to believe. And what they want us to believe is what suits the political agenda of those who walk in the corridors of power."

*p/s: damn, shud hv bought the painting in IKEA ... nw my rum looks so empty >.<

Aspirations ...

Tday i came across a short interview with Hannah Tan in an outdated POPULAR bookstore catalog (i supposed its a catalog...). For those who duno her, she's a Malaysian model / host / singer and the ambassador for Animax Asia (2007).

One of the replies she gave during the interview session is truly inspiring:

" Q: What are your aspirations in life?"
" A: To be able to make the difference in the lives of the people around me, my audiences, and fans through what i do and am most passionate about."
