The Crisis of Credit Visualized from Jonathan Jarvis on Vimeo

Anyone who wanna know how the financial crisis happens can watch the video above. I highly recommend it to anyone, as this global recession will soon affect our country and will only get worse and worse. Credits to Jonathan Jarvis for this wonderful video. His thesis work is so beautifully done yet so educational.

Below are extracts from the video site.

The Short and Simple Story of the Credit Crisis.

The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

My BORED Chinese New Year

February 19th, 2009

Greetings, my faithful readers. Due to Emoly’s request for a post regarding our CNY gathering, I will write a bit about it and how I spent my super bored CNY as well. By the way, Emoly, why don’t you start a blog and write about it yourself as well? :P You had the pictures too!

I started the CNY without any celebrating mood. I don’t know why, but maybe it’s because I started working. I guess I had a different mindset, or mayb because I knew I had to start working on the 3rd day.

I spent my 1st day with my family, visiting some relatives. Nothing special.

The 2nd day was spent visiting some of my friends houses. Hmm, nothing memorable except my parents and Ping Soon’s parents saying we really look alike. Heck, they’re wrong of course, I am way cooler than him. :D By the way, anyone of you know any looklike competition? Let us know, I think we can get top 3 at least.

That’s roughly all. I started working on the 3rd day because I can only have unpaid leave for now, and since I am not in the mood for CNY, I guess I should just work for the pay. This makes the already bored CNY worse. Awwwww….

Woot..

Woot.. perfect match !! lol

During the weekend, we got together for a gathering at Fai’s house for a short but grand lou sang session, lol. Hmmm, I guess the usual gang came except Louis. The gathering was quite short because most of us need to send our partner back early, including me. :D We gambled for a while, and fortunately, I won some money, which is quite rare on the occasion considering how much I lost before that.

I think the surprise moment came when Wa Chung asked Moon to join us. Other than that, it’s just a normal gathering and a bit of chit chat.

The best thing about this CNY was probably the food. My company had 4 lou sang sessions and 2 was done in a pretty good restaurant, Tai Thong and Marco Polo. I think the food in Tai Thong is better, plus the food’s design was quite innovative.

That’s all.

Full family pic :P

Full family pic, haha..

Whatever #2

It’s been a long long long time since I blog, so for those faithful visitors of my blog, you r right to get emo n scold me :P (You know who you are!!)

Hmmmm, lemme start wit my job. Its going good. I’m learning lotsa new stuff, colleagues are great, and I have a decent pay. Can’t ask anything more in this global recession huh? (PS: My company provides free lunch as well, dun envy ya :P )

As for the Perak political drama, I think I have seen what type of person Najib is: short sighted and full of dirty tricks, unfit to become our PM. I still have some doubts over his involvement in the Atlantuya murder before this, but his actions in Perak assures me that he will be the dirtiest Malaysian PM ever. I am now strongly against him becoming our next PM.

I bet he must be super beh song when he did so much for the Kuala Terengganu by-election and yet still lost it. Ever since then he started doing all kinda dirty works to ensure he can be the UMNO president in the coming party election. I wonder if he knows his actions are gonna cause more damage to BN then he ever knows. Don’t think he ever knows any shit other than using C4 to bomb a girl.

As for Elizabeth Wong’s nude photos case, it’s even worse. Using a girl’s nude photos for political purposes, Malaysian’s politics has surely reached a new low. And yet some idiot former Selangor MB is asking her to resign, WTF!!!??? What if I go your house and take your nude photo without you knowing it and the next thing I do is to distribute them to the net? Will you resign as well? Wat kinda stupid theory is dis? Pure nonsense!! Is she wrong? I dun think so!! I think that as long as she can really work for the people, her private life doesn’t mean matter. Come on!! It’s the 21st century!! Even Clinton had a blowjob in his office, LOL !!

And for the best part, I am currently in love with a lovely girl. For further details, leave your comments below!! :P

First day at work

January 15th, 2009

Weeeee I am current blogging from my company, waiting eagerly for 6pm to go back and have a nice rest :D

I had trouble sleeping yesterday night, probably because of my sleeping hour getting messed up earlier, OR it could be that I am freaking nervous of my first day working. I had all these type of weird and crazy dreams of me working and met some strange stuff, just TOTAL WEIRD!!! I slept from 12am till 3am. After that, I just look at the ceiling till 7am, lol :D So much for having a good sleep !

Hmmm, other than that, the company is nice, colleagues are nice, and best of all, the tea lady cooks FREE LUNCH for us, saves us the time and money for lunch, and the food is not bad either. HURRAY !! :D

First day is quite boring. I had training for 2 hours earlier. I then spent the whole evening self studying LINUX stuff on my own. I heard the trainer is quite busy today. So i guess the real training starts tomolo.

That’s all. Will update again soon! :D
