noreply@blogger.com (Spectre) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:22:00 +0000

Low in cash. Or perhaps your piggy bank is getting lighter as the days pass by. No worries. Instead dishing out your hard earn moo-lah. Creating your custom make skin (laptop, I-phone, i-pod, skateboard, paper art print) is the best thing in the market currently and woila instant Christmas present featuring your artwork for your immediately family,friend and anyone u can think of. The only downside. Well it's quote in US dollar instead usual Malaysian ringgit with price ranging from 14.99 for i-phone skin to 44.99 for skateboard skin . However, it does offer viable alternative instead raiding the stores.

PS: Price quoted is in US dollar and per unit. Pls refer to infectious.com for update info.

noreply@blogger.com (Spectre) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 07:40:00 +0000

Special Coffee

Sunday. So heading to my favorite teh tarik corner with roti canai is like usual routine stuff for me.Upon arrival, I notice my usual mamak outlet have added lotsa new thingy. A collection of special type of coffee that does more than taste good and keep us awaked. "It which supposedly enhance sexual performance of the drinker," as I been told by owner. The more popular brands dominated the counter but the list is long and extensive and "containing herbs which have aphrodisiac elements" to boast performance. I , for one are not convinced but with RM2.50 and RM3.50 price tag . It destined to sell like hot cakes anywhere at Malaysia. One outlet even boast 50 varieties according to dailychilli.com. I rest my cases.

Mc Donald already bungkus at Iceland forever

noreply@blogger.com (Spectre) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:19:00 +0000

Shocking. Mc Donald is pulling out from Iceland . Pronto. Tata. Sayanora.

According to BBC news,"

McDonald's is to close its business in Iceland because the country's financial crisis has made it too expensive to operate its franchise.

The fast food giant said its three outlets in the country would shut - and that it had no plans to return.Besides the economy, McDonald's blamed the "unique operational complexity" of doing business in an isolated nation with a population of just 300,000.

Iceland's first McDonald's restaurant opened in 1993.

'No sense'

The franchises are run by a firm called Lyst, with owner Jon Gardar Ogmundsson saying the decision was "not taken lightly".

He said that the restaurants imported the goods from Germany, but that costs had almost doubled, with the falling krona making imports prohibitively expensive.Mr Ogmundsson said the restaurants had "never been this busy before... but at the same time profits have never been lower"."It just makes no sense. For a kilo of onion, imported from Germany, I'm paying the equivalent of a bottle of good whisky," he added.

He now plans to run the restaurants under another name so that he is able to buy cheaper Icelandic products.Iceland's banks collapsed at the height of the global credit crisis - wrecking the country's economy and forcing it to rely on an $10bn (£6.1bn) international aid package.

Food for thought. Guess McDonald's is not invincible to world violate economy. No worries for us as the local McDonald's franchises as is still growing and booming. Unless we suffer the same fate like Iceland in near future .

Healthy food 0.0. Junk food ^^. Healthy food 0.0.Junk food ^^. Despite telling myself that Healthy food is good and Junk food is inside not so good category . Anyway, some smart company by the name Lof, is creating vending machine stocked with Healthy food to market in Spain. These vending machine is well supplied, installed and maintained for free, sell nuts, prepared fruit, ready meals and Spanish speciality, gazpacho soup. Maybe they can create a Healthy food based on Malaysian diet since junk food is well available here 24/7.

Maybe secretly taping your friend reaction after getting wracked by loaded of water bomb using a hidden camera stuck inside your shirt.

The pinhole lens and microphone are hidden inside a faux shirt button, and slips through almost any shirt or sweater for an unobstructed view of everything in front of you."

Using the camera is equally ingenious- hold the included magnetic ring near the camera for a second, and it will start recording. Do it again, and it will go back into standby. You can operate the Button Video Camera without anyone having the slightest idea what's going on. With James Bond design and no wires anywhere to clutter things up or give you away, this is a slick, worry-free way to take undetected video anywhere you go.

In other word, it's completely hidden under your clothes and keep recording until it rans out of battery or switch off using the magnetic ring.

McCurry Pawned McCurry

McDonald vs McCurry. One is established fast food chain in the entire world and generate multimillion worth of dollar in revenue while another is a local popular eatery in Jalan Ipoh on the edge of Kuala Lumpur’s downtown. According to websites, McCurry stands for "Malaysian Chicken Curry". The outlet is a fast food, self service and open restaurant set-up concept and is of international standard. It's a 24 hour restaurant which serves authentic Malaysian and Indian dishes. It serves traditional dishes like teh tarik, roti canai, nasi lemak, nasi briyani, fish head curry, chicken tandoori, naan bread, tosai, chapaati and various chicken and mutton curry dishes.

But the lawyers of McDonald's restaurant had argued that they have exclusive rights on the prefix 'Mc' and only they can use it on their products and services. They had said that McDonald's has created this prefix and has the right to protect it under the law. According to McDonald's, McCurry was infringing their creative rights by using the prefix in their name. They wanted the court to ban the McCurry from using the prefix. Well , they lose and McDonald’s will have to pay RM10,000 to McCurry.

Fu-yoh!Now I could named my blog as McSpectre in the future and not worry getting sued!XD

A CEO REPLY TO LENGLUI AKA PRETTY GIRL!

noreply@blogger.com (Spectre) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 07:14:00 +0000

CEO of J.P Morgan's Fantastic reply to a Pretty Girl

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:
Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here:
I'm 25 this year.
I'm very pretty, have style and good taste.
I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above.
You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York.
My requirement is not high:
Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary?
Are you all married?
I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?
Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden, $250k annual income is not enough.
I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:

1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out?
(Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking?
I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty

Awesome reply:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest.
Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours.
Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.
My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you.
The answer is very simple, so let me explain.

Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money":
Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.
However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason.
The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year.
Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset.
It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation.
If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position".
If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted.
It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".
Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you.
I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy.
And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me...

J.P. Morgan CEO

PS: Thumb up to the CEO!

For Emergency Only

Actual billboard that saves life!
source: springwise and Aircel

Since residing at Kuala Lumpur and PJ area for years , I have witness my far share of flash flood during numerous occasion. However, Aircel (a telco in India) have gone one step further by providing free dinghy if emergency arise where Aircel's billboard bore a large, inflated dinghy along with the line, "In case of emergency, cut rope." When the actual flood happen, the rope was cut on Aircel's billboard, the boat was released, and stranded pedestrians were ferried to safety. Now that's great way to utilize the billboard plus saving life at same time .

PS: If only our local billboard can do the same thing here. *sigh*
