• Gold Elite Krisflyer

  03.06.08 | Permalink |Travel| 3 Comments

  A few weeks ago, I received my gold elite Krisflyer card from Singapore Airlines. Yeap, after I have accumulated 50,000 miles in the silver membership year. The membership is only for a year. I have to enjoy it while I can.

  What benefits do you get for this prestigious Gold card?

  1. You get to use the Star Alliance Gold lounge around the world. The lounge has lots of comfortable seats with free internet access. It also has a mini bar for drinks and snacks.
  2. You get to check in an additional piece of baggage or extra 20kg when you traveled with SIA. Let’s hope I get another trip to US to loot more shopping stuff back. *wink*
  3. Priority check-in without any Q.
  4. Priority boarding.
  5. Priority baggage handling.

  Let’s hope I can enjoyed all the above while it lasts.

  
  
  

• Malaysia General Election 08 – My Thoughts

  03.06.08 | Permalink |News| Comments Off on Malaysia General Election 08 – My Thoughts

  First of all, this post is purely my thoughts and has nothing to do with any party bias opinions. Lately most of you are aware that Malaysia General Election is coming up. In fact it is 3 days away.

  There is so much news across the television, newspapers, road show speech, internet, sms and even spam. Everywhere you go, political news right in front of your eyes. Most of them are news that put other parties down, personal attacks and digging out each other’s personal secrets. I wonder where is the element of helping the people or the county in this election. If you really want to win the people’s heart, show results of what you have done for the people or the country. Or is it a norm to prove your credibility only during election?

  Next, this election is not very environmental friendly. Look at all the plastics and paper used to decorate the roads. I really hope they re-cycle it some how. Some of those sticks are dangling that may cause accidents too.

  To vote or not to vote, this is a big question. Will it solve the peoples’ issues? Generally the people wants reduced crime rates, improve education, reduce oil price, less/zero corruptions, respect other people’s religion, racial harmony and a stable country. Let’s hope whichever party wins remembered what they promised and take actions.

  Lemon Grass (aka Serai) is a plant that can help repel mosquitoes. Lately there have been many cases of denggi due to rainy weather. The easy way to get rid of mosquito is to plant lemon grass. It is very simple to plant, all you have to do is take a bottom part, trim the top. The bottom part will have the root and you can just stick it to the ground. Next you have to keep trimming it as the grass grows to make it need and tidy.

  You can also burn sandal wood oil at home. I know not many like sandal wood smell. It smells like mosquito repellent and most mosquito repellent use the sandal wood oil anyway.

  Last method is to bath with Dettol soap. It helps to keep the mosquito away too. Make sure you get rid of anything that breeds mosquitoes.
