Book Air Flight Online to Shanghai

If you wish to book air flight to Shanghai, China from Penang, it cost about RM1,660 via Singapore Airlines and you can book online here at http://singaporeair.com.my. For Malaysian Airlines (MAS) from Kuala Lumpur to Shanghai, the cost is more expensive at RM1,872. You can also book online for MAS through https://www.bookonline-malaysiaairlines.com.my/. Now that you know the prices inclusive of airport tax, you know which airline to book when going to China. I had to check out the price rates as my second sister who is lecturing English in a university in Suchou plans to come to Penang on the 4th August and return on the 18th or 19th August from Penang to Shanghai. By the way Suchou does not have any airport and the nearest one is Shanghai.

Transformers Talk

Today, I hope to catch the Transformers debut opening on 28th June 2007 in Malaysia. If you are new to the world of Transformers, here is some information about the robots and popular terms to get you started.

AUTOBOTS - This team of Transformers stand for all that is good in the universe and defend freedom for all that want it. Their goal is to maintain peace in the universe. They have a strong leader in Optimus Prime, but they use teamwork to stop the Decepticons.

CYBERTRON - Cybertron is the home planet of the Transformers. Cybertron itself houses one of the Tranformers inside name PRIMUS, an ancient warrior who made the ultimate sacrifice... he gave up his ability to transform in order to save the universe from Unicron.

DECEPTICONS - A group of Transformers that use their power to destroy anything in their way. Their singular goal is domination...and they will exploit anyone and anything that stands in their way.

MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP - A physical piece that Optimus wears inside his chest cavity. The Matrix of Leadership is the "crown" carried by each Prime...currently Optimus Prime.

MEGATRON - Leader of the Decepticons. Ruthless and cold, Megatron has only one goal, ultimate power and rule over the entire galaxy. Megatron's very nature was ruthless from the beginning and he chose the name Decepticon to wear as homage to his deceit.

MINI-CONS - Small but powerful Tranformers, mini-cons communicate primarily through actions and sounds. The mini-cons are a peaceful, working race of the Transformers who have both partnered with the Autobots and been enslaved by the Decepticons. In the past, they have made strong bonds with human children, mostly due to their size.

OPTIMUS PRIME - Also called Optimus, he is the leader of the Autobots. Many years ago, the Matrix of Leadership "chose" him to be the next Prime, or leader. He humbly accepted, which changed the course of his life from simple working class 'bot on Cybertron to leader of the strongest benevolent force in the Universe, the Autobots. When leading his team into battle, Optimus' signature phrase is "Transform and Rollout!"

MAS to buy 20 turbo-propeller aircraft for Firefly

Malaysian Airlines System (MAS) has recently inked RM62 million deal to buy 20 turbo-propeller aircraft for its subsidiary, Firefly from an Italian based short-haul aeroplane manufacturer. The ART 72-500s aircraft was for the use of Firefly, which would soon go into its expansion phase. Firefly was formed earlier this year and is termed by MAS as a community-based airline with low-cost prices. At present, Firefly flies to 5 destinations from Penang, its base. The destinations include Kota Bahru, Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu, Langkawi and Koh Samui. The ATR 72-500s will be based in its present Penang hub as well as its new hubs in Subang, Johor Bahru and Kota Kinabalu.

Back from Kota Bahru

Last night, at about 10:00pm, the Firefly plane touched down Penang's Bayan Lepas International Airport from Kota Bahru. It was a fruitful visit and we stayed in Sutera Inn family room for RM100 a night. When we went there, most of the hotels were full house like Renaissance Hotel and New Pacific Hotel. There was a big shot or someone important who visited Renaissance Hotel, the most classy hotel in Kelantan. We could see many huge police motorbikes accompany the big shot driven in a black S600 Mercedez Benz. Since there were so many policemen accompanying this important minister, we decided to try other hotels for more privacy and not having to avoid so many policemen. With the help of our first client, we managed to get the family room in Sutera Inn, a modest accomodation in Kota Bahru.

Going to Kelantan in 3 hours time

As I blog here, in three hours time, I will take a domestic flight to Kelantan to see a futsal rubberized floor project that the company has there. All my expenses are paid for including the air flight and hotel accommodation. I still haven't packed my bag yet. Still wondering what to bring and what pants to wear for the trip. And I pray for a safe journey there as the flight is 7:50pm in the evening departing from Penang's Bayan Lepas Airport. My colleague will park his car in the air port for a day after fetching me and return the following day. It is a short trip requiring only an over night stay. There is nothing much to see in Kota Bahru as it is more of a retirement town and there are not much activities that you can do over there.

Weekend stay in a town hotel

The recent Saturday and Sunday, I stayed in a town hotel for the weekend. Initially, we wanted to stay in a hotel in Bayan Lepas but both hotels were fully booked due to the Penang Bridge Marathon on Sunday, 24th June 2007. There were 21,000 participants locally and from Thailand, Singapore, USA and Kenya. This is my second time staying in this town hotel and we were lucky to get a room despite the marathon bookings. The pictures were snapped in my camera, but at the moment, I am too busy to load them to the web site. Some other time, perhaps.

Kona Hawaii Vacation Rentals + Travel

I love to travel and have paid for my trip to China this coming July 2007. It was a hefty sum that I had to cough up but since it is my birthday month, I thought I might as well treat and pamper myself. Since I don't like to travel alone, I have also decided to sponsor my parents along. My mom has never been to China like me. I had to pay about RM$8,100 just for the travel flight, air port tax, visa fees and other admin charges. If possible, I also like to go to Hawaii one of these days and relax by the beach under the sun. There are many vacation rentals to stay such as Kona Hawaii vacation rentals from HawaiianBeachRentals dot com.

If I were to travel to Hawaii, I will also make it a point to read up on it through Hawaii Travel. Now I have to prepare myself mentally for the coming trip to China soon.

What is Colloidal Silver?

I have taken different forms of antibiotics for my constant and long term coughs previously. Most of these antibiotics are man made and drugs based. According to doctor’s prescription, we ought to complete the whole course of antibiotics given even though we may feel better. This is to totally eliminate the bad bacteria still in our bodies and prevent stronger ones from developing.

Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these beneficial enzymes intact. Thus colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living matter. It is impossible for single-celled germs to mutate into silver-resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Also, colloidal silver cannot interact or interfere with other medicines being taken. Colloidal silver is truly a safe, natural remedy for many of mankind's ills. Colloidal silver can be taken indefinitely because the body does not develop a tolerance to it.

Furthermore, colloidal silver contains almost 100% pure silver particles suspended indefinitely in de-mineralized water that kills bacteria and viruses. It is an all natural antibiotic alternative in the purest form available. The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungi, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen-metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to say. The pathogens suffocate and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems.

Going to KL in a short while more

This morning, I will be in Kuala Lumpur for the business trip as usual. Most likely will stay overnight and not too sure how many days. My colleague needs to meet up with the company's client and the following morning, go for site inspection. I just hope the weather will be fine and not rain too heavily like yesterday evening with many tree branches fall to the roads. It was a very heavy rain and strong wind for quite some time.

I also hope the roads will not be flooded by the rain water which happened in May last month in KL. My colleague in coming in about twenty minutes time and I guess I better get ready. I have enough time to take 1 post from PPP before I go off this morning.

MtMovers.org

My web site client, a business man who manages a Christian organization for healing and deliverance contacted me on a couple of days ago regarding his incomplete web site, mtmovers.org. I thought when he paid me the RM200 deposit, he was too busy to hand in pictures and information to complete this web site, so I left it as it is after trying to contact him a few times. Well, he called last Saturday telling me of the errors in the page and I promptly amended them to the correct link. I hope he will send me pictures and information to complete the 6 months pending website that is half done so that I can submit to google to be indexed once complete.

Innovative Tutor

I am thankful to my dad for sending me for Maths tuition in my secondary school days plus a host of other tuitions. I had a very Innovative Tutor to tutor me Mathematics. It was not even a one-to-one tuition but a group tuition. But many times, I stayed back to ask questions and my Mathematics tutor was very patient and cleared my doubts and queries. And I was one of the top 5 students in the science stream. Sometimes, after tuition class, he will even ask me to stay back to give my dad mangoes from his mango trees. Some years back, he became my dad’s godson and was baptized in Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. Such was the close relationship he had with my dad.

IBM POS Products

POS is an abbreviation for point of sale or point of service. This can mean a retail shop, a checkout counter in a shop. POS consists of electronic device used by retail businesses to process credit card transactions. If the customer is present, they swipe or slide their credit card through the machine. This sites has a comprehensive lists of IBM POS Products.

When I was working in a retail shop on a temporary basis, it has POS products installed and ready to take credit cards. If any customer who wants to buy say furniture or carpets, on a large volume or big sum, all they need to do is just to swipe their credit card using the installed POS with a phone line connected.

Having a complete system of POS products installed, the retail shop is able to make more sales in case the clients wish to buy but did not carry enough cash around. Just swiping his credit card through the POS machine and then sign the statement is sufficient to make repeat sales.
