No Plastic Bag Day / Hari Tana Beg Plastik Selangor / 无塑料袋日
Following Penang foodsteps, now Selangor implements “No Plastic Day” every Saturday. Effective Jan 1, a “No Plastic Bag Day” would be observed every Saturday and retailers and shopping centres throughout the state were urged to reduce the use of plastic bags.
I believe this is a very good and positive move by the government to educate our citizen to care about our mother nature. Today is the last Saturday of the month where Selangor started “No Plastic Bag Day”, I believe most ppl already know / aware of the campaign, some of my friends even tell me I will not go shopping today because no plastic bag and will shop tomorrow? This is not supposed to be the way right? Haha what’s the purposed of “No Plastic Bag Day” then?
There’s a lot of buntings and posters about “No Plastic Bag Day” placed at major shopping centers. If you request for a plastic bag, you will be charged 20 sen per bag.
For me, will not be affected because everytime I buy something I request them not to give me plastic bag but if you were to shop for groceries (impossible to carry all the groceries in your hand), I would suggest you to bring your own Recycle Bag / reusable shopping bag 環保袋, save our earth for the better future.

Eason Chan 陈奕迅 (E神), love to shake hand with the fans, 出席頒獎典禮最愛的就是握手，亦大讚歌迷的手乾淨，而自己的卻骯髒.
Look at E神’s purple color sport shoe! 紫色潮鞋! Awesome!
節目主持鄭偉康頒獎給Eason時，稱他為“E神”並對他下跪，嚇得Eason也跪回他，兩人上演“互跪”戲碼，過後Eason強顏歡笑說：”不必這樣跪我，我還在生！” Eason told Anthony Chang do not need to kneel to him as he is still alive (not dead yet)!
Woots! Malaysia’s World No.1 Datuk Lee Chong Wei beat Thailand’s Boonsak Ponsana in Malaysia Open Finals at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil. Lee Chong Wei won 21-13, 21-7 in just 35 mins. This was Chong Wei sixth Malaysian Open badminton title. I would say it’s an easy match for Chong Wei and he played with confident and outplayed Ponsana.
See Ponsana was smiling when he made mistake and he knew that he could not fight with Lee Chong Wei.
Lee Chong Wei won USD15,000.00
Koo Kien Keat / Tan Boon Heong have beaten another China pair today in the finals after eliminating the younger China pair yesterday at semi finals. It was a tough rubber games with the China pair Zhendong GUO / Chen XU.
The China pair was good at attacking leaving KKK / TBH in defensive styles but after some guidance by Rexy, they went attacking all the way and finally Malaysia won and it was also due to the massive support by the audience! Kien Keat and Boon Heong even threw their racquets to the audiences! Arghh… too bad can’t manage to grab it. Koo Kien Keat / Tan Boon Heong won 21-15, 17-21, 21-16 in almost 1 hour.
This was the perfect net shot.
Jumping smash!
Juara Bergu 2010
Luckily the downpour happened right after the last match, if not the leaking of water will definitely affect us the audience.

Just back from Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil, went there to watch Quarter Finals Malaysia Open and catched Datuk Lee Chong Wei in action. Woots! It’s a great sport. Recently just started to resume my weekly badminton session. Yes. Must keep fit la…
There’s a Mobile KFC Kiosk and Pizza Hut Kiosk. Do not worry you have nothing to eat, there’s food court inside Stadium Putra too.
This is the Hardcore Malaysia Badminton Supporter, you will see him everywhere when there’s Malaysia playing.
Hardcore Indonesia Badminton Supporter, a bit irritating la, when Malaysia playing Kacau saja…
Few things that disappoint me:-
1) They over sell the tickets for LT Premium which resulted some of the audiences seat along the stairway. If emergency or some unforeseen circumstances happened, then we might be stuck in the stadium and the consequences will be bad.
2) It was heavy rain outside, but it’s drizzling inside the hall. What does that mean? Yes, it’s leaking. Please fix it and yet once again we proofed that “Malaysia Boleh”. Luckily the rain drops / leak was at audience area if it’s in the court area then what a shame. So I was forced to wear rain coat at all time during the matches. Imagine that!
3) Rubbish everywhere leaving behind at the stadium. Please clear your own mess ppl!
Can you see that? Isn’t it an eyesore to you?
Jan O JORGENSEN – Shhhshhh… do not disturb me ok!?! At last he also lost to Tien Minh NGUYEN from Vietnam in just two game. This guy from Vietnam actually quite good and he beat Lee Chong Wei before. Will Lee Chong Wei and Tien Minh NGUYEN meet again in finals?

Few years back it’s only HD and now all are talking about Full HD and LED TV, technology move really fast and if you do not keep up to it, you will be left behind. So you know what’s HD? Haha.

Last Sunday, a bunch of Forte owner and soon to be owner were gathered at Kluang Station Waterfront Desa Park City. It was a nice Sunday morning where everyone would like to ZzZZzZzzzz more but I sacrificed for my love, Forte. Gathering started from 10am-1pm, so I need to get up around 9 plus which is like a torture for me as Sunday not a working day and supposed to sleep till noon and till the sun beam my butt only get up. Haha.
When I reached Kluang Station there’s no one there… and I don’t see any Forte at the front or Car Park 1… so I was wondering am I at the right place for the gathering. I’m a soon to be Forte owner and the reason I join in this Forte Owner TT was that I would like to meet the owners and get some feedback, comments, tips and check out the lovely Forte in a big group.
So I thought maybe those Forte were parked at the Car Park 2, so I walk to check it out and was happy to see so many Forte parked there. The view was awesome. So colorful as there’s White Forte, Titanium Silver Forte, Bright Silver Forte, Spicy Red Forte, Black Forte… Really wish my Forte was with me =(
Then we had a Chit Chat / Teh Tarik (TT) session at Kluang Station and yeah all the Forte owners were really friendly. Awesome bunch of ppl. Some asking about Car Tinting (AirCool, 3M, SafeTint, TintMaster), Car Rim (16″/17″), Fuel Efficiency, Car handling, PPS / Sierra Glow (Additional layer to protect car paint) etc, but it’s really a nice catch up with everyone. We try out the heat at all the different car with different tint after the car parked under the sun for quite sometime and I actually don’t feel much different between tinted and the non-tinted Forte! =p
Then we start to camwhore with the lovely Fortesss! Check out the camwhore photo below…
Check out this White Forte After Glow… Isn’t it awesome? Also the Naza emblem has been replaced with KIA emblem.
This Spicy Red Forte is very unique as not much ppl own it! Cool? =)
Check out the owners!
Check out some of the comments from the Forte Owner.
Comment by Phelix :
for me, forte is really comfort car, NVH is good.. on par with civic. FC wise really depends.. this car gives good FC when u r on highway.. as low as 6l/100km.. but when u stuck in jam… FC increase slowly.. i see it from 8.6l/100km increased to 11.2l/100km.. despite about resell value.. forte gives best of bang.. guaranteed.
maintenance wise.. most of them choose synthetic oil but i go for mineral.. performance wise slightly better (u can feel it after u serviced ur car, try it.. haha).
and overall till now, after my friend viewed my car only give thumbs up.
Comment by Julian :
1. Why did you choose to buy the Forte?
Its an excellent-value-for money product with many great features and very importantly its safety features. Oh yes..its got the looks too, super cool and sleek design! For the money I’m paying, this Forte is definitely worth it, if not more. It’s just brilliant, a class on its own! In short…its beauty, style and power which is my Forte.
2. What do you like most of the Forte?
Can i say there’s nothing I don’t like? Hahaha… I love the Push Start button! It’s so cool! And, the overall design and safety features. When I took my Forte home for the first time, my good neighbour came over and gave it the 2-thumbs up! Makes me so proud of my Forte. To be honest, I’m no car enthusiast, thus, car engines and the works are like rocket science to me. Hahaha… Thus, I’d like to reserve my comments on these but from what I read from the reviews, forums, etc.. However, I’d like to add that after having this ‘baby’ for 1 month, I’ve no doubt about its performance and drivability.
Here I'll share my knowledge, discovery and experience related to latest news, gadgets and happening stuffs. Most articles on this site are related to IT, short reviews, tips and latest offers and many more. More
