Have u seen something like this? Pretty cool eh..
STATE OF THE ART GERMAN PARKING GARAGE!
This is pretty amazing! Can you imagine how all this operates? How do they lock each car in its cubicle for safety? WHO CARES? NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND COULD GET IN IT HERE. (But believe me, the Germans WILL LOCK THAT CAR!)
Talk about German efficiency! The photo above were taken at a new parking garage in Munich . The actual space that the facility occupies is approximately only 20% of a comparable facility with the traditional design that is used primarily in the US. Not only is the German structure less expensive to build, but vehicles are also 'retrieved' in less time and without the potential of being damaged by an attendant. Now this is what we called - COOL!

For your info......be alert!
Another early day today, whilst sorting out my mails, here's one very interesting. No harm knowing this. It read:-
FOR YOUR INFO - BE ALERT :-
This is taken from a newspaper article in local Chinese papers recently. Take note of any unusual markings in front of your house. It could be a code for these unsavoury people.
Translation: [ + ] or [ - ] means Owner not in house during day/night
[ Θ ] means Staying alone or Renting
[...] means 3 family members staying
[√ ] means House has been broken in before
[ * ] means Target
[ X ] means Not Our Target (Safety First)
So guys, keep well and keep safe. Adios!

Please.........
I normally would not want to wake up at this hour. ..even if I can't sleep. Looking at the wall clock, it's only a quarter to four in the morning. It was very calm..very silent.
I have no idea whatsoever why this early..but now sitting, facing my computer..trying to get across what's in my mind.
I'm kindda buzy lately. Besides being so engrossed with my buzy schedule, I met some new friends but particularly one that asked me out for a date. I felt like banging my head against the wall when I promised him a "yes" answer. I regretted it so much now because he's not a nobody but a somebody.
He's been texting me every now and then, giving me hints.."don't forget u promise me a date".
How I wish it could be as easy as a cyber date just as I'd potray in a naughty essay concerning that special night with one blogger, named Uncle Lee.
How to say "NO"? at least in a polite way...tactful perhaps?

How I wish it wasn't true...
Upset? yes..definately. I knew him few years back. I still recalled, we were like best buddies and when he told me that his contract with the company he worked with due the coming month, I asked him to join our company.
I see no harm in helping someone who wanted a job and he's not only some 'hi and bye' kindda friends, he is but my good buddy. And now, I regretted that decision.
I don't know what had happened to him and to the friendship we'd built on good terms. It really saddened me to see his change of behaviour. He is no longer my old buddy..who's kind, understanding and a good cheer to me.
Today, it's not even a misunderstand..he got so mad and clench his fists. I was shocked to see his manner. I told him sharply" if you dare..."
He did not. He walked away.....

Hotel Scam? U must read this!
This is kinda scary if only because of how simple it is. I'll bet this works all too often. You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. When checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for all the charges for your room).
You get to your room and settle in. Someone calls the front desk and asks for (example) Room 320 (which happens to be your room). Your phone rings in your room. You answer and the person on the other end says the following, 'This is the front desk. When checking in, we came cross a problem with your charge card information. Please re-read me your credit card number and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side of your charge card.
'Not thinking anything, you might give this person your information, since the call seems to come from the front desk. But actually, it's a scam of someone calling from outside the hotel/front desk. They ask for a random room number.
Then they ask you for credit card and address information, sounding so professional that you think you're talking to front desk personnel. If you ever encounter this problem on your vacation or on a businesstrip, tell the caller that you will be down at the front desk to clear up any problems in person.
Then, go to the front desk and ask if there was a problem. If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone attempted to scam you of your credit card information acting like a front desk employee.
This was sent by someone who has been duped....... and is still clearing up the mess....
P.S. Please everyone, help spread the word by forwarding this to everyone you know and care for... Who knows, you might just help a friend avoid a nasty experience.

Can I borrow RM25?
A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.
SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'
MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.
SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'
MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
MUM: 'If you must know, I make RM 50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Mummy, may I please borrow RM 25?'
The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that RM 25 and he really didn't ask for money very often . The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
'Are you asleep, son?' She asked.
'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.
'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the RM 25 you asked for.'
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.
'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.
'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied. 'Mummy, I have RM 50 now.
Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'
The mother was crushed. She put his arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that RM 50 worth of your time with someone you love. If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Aha!
An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat. He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?"
The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to." A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet.
The old prospector --not wanting to get a toe blown off-- started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied. When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.
The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laughing immediately. The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening.
The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels. The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever licked a mule's behind?" The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir..... but... I've always wanted to."
There are a few lessons for us all here:
Never be arrogant.
Don't waste ammunition.
Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
Don't mess with old men, they didn't get old by being stupid.
I just love a story with a happy ending, don't you?

A message from Michael
Received this also among my emails:-
New Law:
With the high rate of attacks on women in secluded parking lots, especially during evening hours, the Minneapolis City Council has established a 'Women Only' parking lot at the Mall of America. Even the parking lot attendants are exclusively female so that a comfortable and safe environment is created for patrons. Below is the first picture available of this world-first women-only parking lot in Minnesota (scroll down).

..so are the ants
I haven't been seeing Jade for quite some time but today, I managed to call her and dragged her out from her comfort zone and spending time together for a YumCha and interrogation session of 'whoaa...what have u been doing lately..
Jade took my left hand and rub against her cheek saying.."Whoaa....I love you *HONEYBUZZ*...tho' we haven't see each other for months yet when we meet today, it's like we just met yesterday and continuing our unfinished story" said she.
"Arhahaha...." I laughed.
"I like it this way...two matured and understanding humans..well, both you and I work, so what do one expect, and furthermore, I dislike the idea of giving you a pouting lips and show you 'NOW ONLY YOU WANT TO CATCH UP WITH ME' face impression". I said smilling.
I guessed sometimes when we are too engrossed with our work, we somehow forget that there are other things in life that requires attention as well.
I read it somewhere saying this ..." It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?
So, am not going to make myself so busy again...just gonna work the smarter way. Maybe, that's the way to go for this roaming year of the Tiger. No regrets.

Facts can be stranger than fiction...
True Murder Story..Unbelievable.....
This one is something to think about...Just when you think you have heard everything!! Do you like to read a good murder mystery? Not even Law and Order would attempt to capture this mess. This is an unbelievable twist of fate!!!
At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, (AAFS) President Dr. Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death.
Here is the story:
On March 23, 1994 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a 10-story building intending to commit suicide.
He left a note to the effect indicating his despondency. As he fell past the ninth floor, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.
The room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a shotgun! The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife and the pellets went through the window, striking Mr. Opus.
When one intends to kill subject 'A' but kills subject 'B' in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject 'B.' When confronted with the murder charge, the old man and his wife were both adamant, and both said that they thought the shotgun was not loaded. The old man said it was a long- standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her.
Therefore, the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, assuming the gun had been accidentally loaded.The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun about 6 weeks prior to the fatal accident.
It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother. Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even though he didn't actually pull the trigger. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
Now for the exquisite twist... Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the 10 story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window. The son, Ronald Opus, had actually murdered himself. So the medical examiner closed the case as a suicide. A true story from Associated Press.

Like lilies of the field...
I'd never knew that she has gone home until I reach for the papers and saw her column. I felt very weak suddenly. I couldn't believed what I saw, this can't be true..this can't be true. I run few calls and wept after the confirmation.
I recalling Charles Spurgeon most popular work saying "there is nothing very pleasant recalling that we are not immune to adversity, but it may humble us and prevent our boasting (Pslm.30:6).
It may keep us from sinking our roots too deeply into this soil from which we are so soon be transplanted into the heavenly garden.
He wrote further, " Let us recall the frail claim we hold on our earthly blessings. If we would remember that all trees of the earth are marked for the woodsman's axe, we would not be so ready to build our nest in them. We should love the love that expects death and counts on separations. Our dear relatives are but loaned to us, and the hour when we must return them to the Lender's hand may be even at the door.
I felt so much comforted by these words...coincidently enough, these humble and wise words are written by Spurgeon on March 10, the same date as she left us.
May her soul rest in peace...

This kind of love I want in my life...
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.
He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00am.I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam,it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him,
'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'
He smiled as he patted my hand and said,...'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,..'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be,and will not be.
With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message. This one I thought I could share with you:
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00am.I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam,it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him,
'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'
He smiled as he patted my hand and said,...'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,..'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be,and will not be.
With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message. This one I thought I could share with you:
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Women are great...and scary too..
Received this from my email...forwarded by a male friend...uhuk uhuk..
Whatever u give a woman, she will make it greater.
Give her sperm, she will give u a baby.
Give her a house, she will give u a home.
Give her groceries, she will give u a meal.
Give her a smile n she will give u her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what she is given.
------------So if u give her crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit...
HAPPY VALENTINE anyway..!

The most beautiful rainbow
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every 60 seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.

The Images Of A Mom...
Amongst my emails........
4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either!
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with mom...

The Best Way of Staying Out...
THE BEST WAY OF STAYING OUT OF H1N1 TROUBLE
(Source from NST, Malaysia) A letter to the Editor
RECENTLY, I saw photos in newspapers showing people wearing “surgical masks” at shopping malls, schools, mamakstalls and other public areas. I have even noticed people wearing them out in the open with no one around. Because of this, I would like to explain why the mask may do more harm than good. The H1N1 virus is not airborne.
To be considered an airborne virus, the microorganism would have to survive or remainin the air for long periods of time. The H1N1 virus does not stay airborne. I have noticed many people wearing masks incrowded places. However, places like airports, shopping malls and schools arefull of germs and bacteria.
If a small amount of bacteria gets into a hole inthe mask, you will provide a breeding ground for the bacteria, which may leadto an illness or infection. The moisture you produce in your mask is perfect for bacteria and viruses, and may be a recipe for disaster. The way to prevent exposure to H1N1 virusis to avoid physical contact with people who may be sick or infected.
Also avoid commonly touched surfaces like escalator railings, poles and public toilet doorknobs. The H1N1 virus usually spreads when someone touches surfaces with the virus and then touches his own nose, eyes or mouth.
Washing your hands frequently is the best defense against exposure. And yes, the virus may travel from point A to point B in the air. But it will drop, not stay airborne. Wearing a mask is only good at helping you not to spread your illness to others if you are infected.
