SHARE THIS INFO # 2 : Bank ATM's Converted to Steal IDs

A team of organized criminals are installing equipment on legitimate bank ATM's in at least 2 regions to steal both the ATM card number and the PIN. The team sits nearby in a car receiving the information transmitted wirelessly over weekends and evenings from equipment they install on the front of the ATM (see photos). If you see an attachment like this, do not use the ATM and report it immediately to the bank using the phone on the front of the ATM.

The equipment used to capture your ATM card number and PIN are cleverly disguised to look like normal ATM equipment. A 'skimmer' is mounted to the front of the normal ATM card slot that reads the ATM card number and transm its it to the criminals sitting in a nearby car.

At the same time, a wireless camera is disguised to look like a leaflet holder and is mounted in a position to view ATM PIN entries.

The thieves copy the cards and use the PIN numbers to withdraw thousands from many accounts in a very short time directly from the bank ATM.

Equipment being installed on front of existing bank card slot.


The equipment as it appears installed over the normal ATM bank slot.


The PIN reading camera being installed on the ATM is housed in an innocent looking leaflet enclosure.

MaMaN Says....# 5 - We Have PERIOD Too, You Know !!!

I am not feeling good when I wake-up yesterday morning(Saturday). My body seems not to work very well with my mind. Every movement I've made seems like very painful. My stomach boiling, my head spinning, all my joint were in pain and skin burning. I know there is something not right happen to me but I don't know what it is. Anger slipped into my mind and thus make me not in the mood to do anything today.

I've planned to go to the office and finished a mountain pile workload in the morning and I've already promised my sister to come over her house to help her out with lunch afterwards; but I just don't have mood to execute that action.

Then I've open my notebook computer and do some surfing where then I've found some interesting fact on my condition. It says that some researchers in Edinburgh,Scotland, have found that MEN suffer from "irritable male syndrome", not unlike PMS. Their findings prove that fluctuations in hormones determine men's and women's mood in similar ways.

And, just as women ever-changing estrogen levels explain those seven to ten days of PURE EVIL before women PERIOD, a slip in TESTOSTERONE levels can leave MEN feeling bad-tempered,emotional or depressed.

The only difference is that women hormonal state moves in cycles, while men is triggered by periodic circumstances such as injury,serious illness or stress.

No wonder I am bad mood today;I got PERIOD too!!!. So, it's quite feasible that soon I'll be demanding chocolate and a foot rub,"because of my hormones, baby":p

SHARE THIS INFO # 1 : Dealing With Stroke



If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously.. Please read:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.)

She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally.

He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR .

Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE .
T *Ask the person to TALK . to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (ie. . It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS . {NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke}

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call Ambulance immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

MaMaN Says....# 4 - Work Me Women !!!

Does She Make a Better Boss? Yes please!

“Oh yes, she definitely does.” Amusement and abject disbelief consumed my fellow Shah the last time I validated my penchant for women bosses.

“Hah! That’s a good one,” they joked, “that’s like saying ‘of course not’ every time the woman asks if she’s fat… it’s just something you have to say to her face.”
“I’m not kidding… I love women bosses.”
The laughter died down and grave concern clouded the once happy Hard Rock Cafe atmosphere.

“Are you ok?”
“Did you just get promoted?”
“Wait a minute… is she really hot?”
The confusion came fast and furious. None of my idiot friends seemed to get it. The truth was, it didn’t matter if my boss were a promotion junkie or hot as hell. As long as she’s a woman, it would definitely work in my favor.

Forget the stereotypical image of women bosses being emotional, erratic and wishy-washy. If played right, a woman boss could be the best thing to happen to your career. That’s right, it’s all about feeling her out, and I’m not talking about copping a feel – no matter how hot she is.

My first ever boss(while I'm with PNBit Sdn Bhd), was a woman that could to do no wrong. A high ranking officer, she called the shots with absolute authority. When she spoke, everyone listened. Her directions were clear, concise and above all, filled with empathy and kindness. That, compounded with her motherly instincts became the benchmark for all other bosses I’ve had to work for.

Then there was my first Project Manager. Ultra-pregnant, soft-spoken but filled with enough grit and determination to put together a current project on schedule. This woman juggled her dual role of expectant-mother-and-boss with the dexterity of a double-jointed Chinese acrobat on steroids.

And who could forget my first Procurement Manager. Tough-as-nails, with ideas spilling out of her pants pockets and blessed with a metabolic rate that could shame a tri-athlete, she hung in there with the big boys and brought them to their knees. Hell, she even mastered the all-powerful ‘re-write this report you male-scum’ index finger command. No words, just a gesture.....haahahhah

And last but not least.....my present(in OTIS Elevator) Supervisor. A women with great energy level(it's might comes from her magnetic bracelet :p), a women with multi-tasking ability(some says she's represent the Goddess Guan-Yin :p), and a very sharp eyes for details(always find error in my generated PO's). Hmmmmpphh.....but she had something inside her eyes; I'm not sure what it is, but it's contained some telepathic power or some sort of 'aura' to make me feel........................duhhhh..............so comfortable .............like home.

Maybe I’ve just been really lucky, but four women besting a multitude of men has got to stand for something. Until the next best (male) player comes along, I’d much rather a woman - whip me into action :)

MaMaN Says....# 3 - Eat To Live or Live To Eat???

For some, food is a bigger issue than it needs to be....:p


Keeping an eye on your weight and health is something everyone should do but make sure you’re doing it right. Everyone’s got hang-ups with their bodies and even supermodels are not 100 percent happy with what they’ve got… but that’s just human nature.

‘My thighs are huge, my tummy’s so round & "kedepan"(it's me!!!...arrgghhh!!!), my arms are so fat, etc’ are just some of the more common complaints. And least you think it’s just a problem with women, men are just as susceptible to insecurities regarding their bodies.

Sometimes these insecurities are taken to another level though and these negative body images can turn into something dangerous. People who are unhappy, be it with their physical appearance or emotionally distraught, sometimes turn to or away from food. While some seek solace in food, some others spurn it. Skipping a few meals once in a while may sound harmless enough but in the long run could endanger your health.

Eating disorders are a real danger to one’s health. Anorexia, bulimia and compulsive overeating have caused the deaths of many but scarily enough, many people still suffer from these diseases. Well, as for me, I've stay "happily" in the hospital 3 days and 2 night(it's fun though, because the nurse was so pretty :p) for appendicitis(still don't figure out whether this has something to do with my "junkie-food" habit) .

Sure, we envy celebrities (for instance; I envy to Arnold "susah-nak-eja" figure...heheheh) with their perfect figures but what we fail to remember is that the flawless images we see in the glossies are "touched up". Look at the pictures that the tabloids publish of celebrities who are caught unaware; they look as normal as the rest of us.

Some people eat when they’re stressed or unhappy. If that bowl of ice cream lifts up your spirit then go ahead but don’t polish off a Starbuck mug, followed by a sleeve of cookies, and then a plate of rice. In the long run, being fat isn’t going to make you ecstatic(just learned the word today :p).

So before you start thinking that starving yourself is the road to the land of the beautiful or stuffing your face is the way to deal with your emotional problems, think again. Getting together with friends over your favorite meal is certainly enjoyable but if you start obsessing over food, then you’re in trouble.....

But to say....who want to have a "roti canai" + "teh tarik" with me this weekend??? :)

Just For FUN #1- BLOG Reading LEVEL....GENIUS?!!! :p

Haahahahh....just found this tool while browsing into the net. I've tested "www.Yahoo.com" and they return the result of "Junior High School". Errmmmm....this makes me wonder;

"IS MY BLOG THAT HARD TO READ???"

...and should I changed my TAG LINE to ;

"FOR GENIUS ONLY....OTHERS MAY STRESS TO DEATH...OR OPTIONALLY, YOU CAN KILL YOUR BOSS !!!"

...hehehehh....nonsense!!!



Well, you can try it for your BLOG and see what it say....this is just for FUN. And if you don't mind, share with me your BLOG result with me by commenting this POST. Till then....let's get GENIUS!!!..:p

Quiz/Personality Test #2- My Dream JOB???

This is the latest test I've taken to verify my very own "dream job". Well, the outcome of the test shocked me a bit; "Famous Artist"???What in the world.....hahahahh. It's kind a funny though.....:D

Try it for yourself and tell me who you would be :)


My Result: Famous Artist


Take this test!


Whether you make your own clothes or just love to make a scene, you've got a creative streak a mile long. So it's no surprise your perfect job would be as an internationally famous artist. Being able to turn the world upside down with your vision would suit you just right and you'd pull it off in a style all your own. People would "ooh," "ahh," and try to imagine what could possibly go on in that mind of yours. Too bad they'd never come close.


But you don't have to get shown at the Tate or have a star on the Walk of Fame to live your dream; just remember to put that creative spirit to work everywhere. Whether it be memos and reports or desk flair and office wear, you'll be sure to make a big impression. The world is your canvas!



MaMaN Says....# 2 - Live to Work or Work to Live?

Back in primary school, when my teacher asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The following assortment of answers followed:

“Fireman”
“Policeman”
“Army”
And my personal favourite, “Ustazah”(ustazah=female religous teacher)....hehehehhh

The funny thing is, no one at the time said;

“Millionaire”
“Real estate tycoon”
“Businessman”
“Politician”
Or even, “Singer”-Malaysian Idol???Akademi Fantasia???....hahahah

In a strange twist of ideals, the firemen and policemen wannabes eventually wanted to be millionaires and tycoons by the time they were in their late teens. So it seems materialism develop late and stays for at least a few decades. Then curiously another twist in idealism happens. Of late, my cohort of army and ustazah wannabes who have solid careers in law and banking have turned away from their so called calling once more. One successful maritime lawyer friend suddenly switched to filmmaking. From seriously raking in money, he switched to being poor, but extremely satisfied. When I asked him why he said, “I was on a ship and while walking off it I almost fell to my death. It was a wake up call. I immediately took stock of what I had and what I really wanted in life. I wanted to make movies.”

Then there is the curious case of the banker who became a baker. With a client list that full of ‘money-names’ she abandoned her money-making job and started baking cookies for pennies. All of us were shocked. Here were the rest of us struggling to make what she does and she callously throws it all and with reckless abandon, starts baking because, “It makes me happy.”

So it all boils down to happiness. If you’re doing something that truly irks you, it doesn’t matter how much you make… or does it? A million bucks to clean public toilets - Some people might gladly do it(well yeah....me too..count me in please!..hehehehh).

After five jobs in the past six years, I have set a certain level of tolerance in the jobs that I do. Right now, it's more on survival "thing" than what I really love & wanted to do. I got to "pause" my dream for a while and waiting the right time to rise again. For the time being, nowadays, as soon as I wake up and dread the thought of doing what I’m supposed to for the set amount of money… I know it’s time to go.

So what’s your dream job? Or more importantly, are you ready to pursue it?

TIPs #1: The BASICS Step

Credit : The following articles were writen by Harry Harrington. This information is extremely helpful for beginners starting out in the world of bonsai.

Bonsai Basics
===============
Placement

Nearly all beginners start out by buying a bonsai from a garden centre, shopping mall or (hopefully) a reputable dealer and are often given summary advice. Unfortunately, unless you buy your tree from a reputable bonsai dealer, you may well have started on the back foot. The most common misunderstanding that beginners have (and bonsai forum posts can confirm this) is that Bonsai are still trees and need outdoor living conditions. Trees need good light, good humidity levels, good air circulation and importantly, many species NEED the cold of winter to go dormant. Inside our homes, trees receive comparatively poor light levels and the dry air /low humidity levels created by central heating systems can cause many problems.

There are species that will tolerate indoor conditions and with the correct placement and care can thrive; there are also many species that are not hardy enough to tolerate the winter cold. But, these are in the minority. It is far more difficult to cultivate indoor Bonsai than outdoor Bonsai. Outdoor species very rarely die immediately when grown inside, they can survive for months. However they slowly lose their health and vigour in the adverse conditions they have to cope with, and become susceptible to bugs and disease until they finally start to show outward signs of ill-health; yellowing leaves, lose of foliage and eventually death.

Unfortunately, unscrupulous dealers take advantage of this delayed response to poor care and will display and sell outdoor trees as indoor bonsai. A tree purchased from such a retailer may have been grown inside for weeks or months and can be near death without any outward sign. The most common bonsai to cause problems for beginners are Conifers and very often Junipers. There is NO coniferous species that can tolerate indoor cultivation for more than 2 or 3 years.


Watering

This seemingly easy technique is the second most common cause of Bonsai-related problems. Under-watering or allowing the compost to dry out completely will instantly kill or badly damage most trees; however over-watering can just as equally cause ill-health and eventual death from root-rot and disease.

The most important rule to remember is that trees should be CHECKED for their water requirement daily but should only be watered as required. Never, never water to a routine, this can lead to continually sodden compost which literally suffocates the roots. The surface of the compost MUST be starting to dry out between waterings, then the tree can be thoroughly watered again. The time between waterings can vary from 12 hours to 7 days depending on factors such as prevailing temperatures, wind and humidity levels.


Fiddling

Don't fiddle! The temptation for beginners is to continually fiddle with their tree(s), cutting bits off here and there, continually watering, misting, moving them around etc etc. Checking daily for water requirements and health problems is necessary, but otherwise leave the tree to grow and simply enjoy looking at it! Pruning back to shape is necessary but don't continually jump onto every out of place leaf. In order to keep the tree healthy and vigorous it needs to be able to grow freely at times. It is also important to remember timing is very important, don't carry out jobs such as re-potting or major restyling at the wrong time of the year as this can lead to poor health in the tree and lack of vigour. A tree repotted at the wrong time of year for instance may survive if you are lucky, it may even grow a bit, but, it will very rarely reward you with vigour.


Pruning and re-potting.

Bonsai need to be pruned, this keeps them small, an unpruned bonsai simply becomes an ordinary tree. This is an area that you need to investigate once the basics of watering and placement are understood. If at first you are unsure, simply prune back your trees' new growth to its original shape when it has extended but don't prune every new leaf that appears as it appears. By studying your tree, watching its growth patterns and studying other peoples trees on the internet and in books, you will be able to form a mental picture of how you wish your tree to develop over the coming years. It may be that you wish it to remain as it is, or, that there are areas that could be improved. You need to establish your goals for the tree in order to be able to prune and style it for the future rather than just randomly cutting areas of growth back.

The other area of bonsai that needs to be addressed by the beginner is repotting; a very straightforward technique if carried out correctly and at the right time. Most trees need to be repotted annually or at very least bi-annually in Spring as the years new growth starts to appear. Trees that are not repotted will eventually lose their health and vigour.


Age

How old is my tree? The ONLY way of accurately aging a tree is by counting the tree-rings at the base of the trunk, obviously this is not possible! Normally the age of a tree can be reasonably estimated when a tree has been owned by the same person who propagated it from seed or a cutting; nursery stock can often be estimated reliably at being 2 or 3 years old when bought from a garden centre. Old branches that are removed can also have their rings counted which can also give an indication of the age of the rest of the tree. However, with increased age in bonsai comes increased financial value and this does not always result in complete honesty. There are many bonsai techniques available to the experienced collector that help give the impression of great age; that is after all one of the principal aims when styling and developing trees. Field-grown trees for instance will always display far thicker trunks than trees that have always been grown as bonsai. It is very feasible to create a bonsai from a cutting that after 10 years looks older than a 30 year old container-developed bonsai.

When valuing a tree, it is not its actual age that is most important; it is the impression of age that gives it beauty.

It is hoped that armed with these basics you can keep your bonsai healthy and provide a platform from which to learn a whole new art form. Good luck!

My HOBBIES #1 : Nature’s MOST PRECIOUS Plant

WHEN was the last time you woke up and felt like doing something different for a change? With our HECTIC and STRESSFULL life nowadays, make most of us feels like we don’t have extra time or FREE time to spend on our PASSION or HOBBIES. How many of you have at least a hobby???....well, me?? plenty !!! hehehehh.....

In this POST, I’m going to share with you one my hobbies during my “free time” (at least I hope I got some…hahahah) which is; growing a BONSAI. Known as the JEWEL OF THE FOREST, the words “bon” and “sai” refer to “tray” and “planting” in Japanese, but BONSAIS are different from all the other trees and shrubs in your garden simply because it is deeply rooted in ancient history.

Also known as “Penjing” in Chinese, BONSAI involves the aesthetic art of “miniaturizing” trees by growing them in pots. Long appreciated for its meditative qualities, the refined art of BONSAI allows one to channel their creativity into crafting this “Masterpiece”, through dedicated learning, planning and thought. Many have found that caring for their BONSAIS significantly removed the STRESS of the outside world. And as for me, watching them grow not just gives me a peaceful mind but the feeling is much like you are in LOVE (love???...again???...hahahh…what a guy).

People around me might say that I’m a GOOF, but “talking” to BONSAIS is not uncommon among fellow enthusiasts (don’t you ever talk to your teddy bear or your car?...heheheh). I even sometimes sleep with my BONSAIS just to make sure it’s growing rate. Errrrr…..did I said sleep???  :p

In the world of BONSAIS, creativity is boundless. The cultivation of BONSAIS requires the cultivation of patience. Trees grow slow and we have to wait. In the process of creating the tree we like to look at, we gradually develop a very patient character. We may even develop a GREATER PEACE OF MIND. For me, there is a great point of difference between the art of painting a picture as compared to the art of creating a BONSAI. A drown picture once completed cannot have changes made to it. On the other hand, what you see in a BONSAI creation can change, for better or worse, simply because its alive. This is what I called a FOURTH DIMENSION.

In my next POSTING, I will share with you some TIPS and SECRET of ‘BONSAI’ing. So, keep on reading, and may you will find some ways from this POST to release you from STRESS. Till then……HAPPY BONSAING…opppsss….BLOGGING!!!  :D

MaMaN Says....# 1.1 -Let's Talk About LOVE (or LUST)....concluded!!!

Greeting Readers,

It's been a while since my last POST. I'll apologies if my late POST makes you MAD at me (well....did you???...hehehhehh).I am trying my best to steal some times and space to resume my writing 'JOB' here....so, let's us continue.

The word "I LOVE YOU" seems to be the most popular word around the world. Sound simple but yet, not ALL MEN find it easy to say those three little words. We (the MAN) are laying our self open to rejection and some MEN are wary about that(including me...hahaahhahh).

For me the usual period for infatuation is three months. Then it's two years of staying very much monogamous. That should be enough to produce children, after which the focus changes altogether, towards the children. However, it might be different for those using contraception. After two years when there aren't children around, things can peter out and become rather boring (just from my personal point of view).



The girl that I mention earlier(my first love), now became my WIFE for about 4 years. To tell you the truth; I'VE NO IDEA WHAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH HER, BESIDE HER STUNNING LOOKS; IT'S SUCH A COMPLICATED PROCESS.

But I admit, we were like CAT and DOG. Both of us had a very serious issue of EGOISTIC, JEALOUSY and BAD TEMPER. We always fought for some tiny little matter and that was what split us up. About Three years later, we accidentally met again at the same place of our very first date. COINCIDENCE???...hahahhahahh you bet!!!

Inevitably, when a MAN who's invested time and emotion in a relationship finds that it's fallen apart, especially when it seems to be no fault of his own, there's more than just PRIDE at stake. Because MEN fall in love so rarely they're left questioning their motives and ideals.

Nowadays I am becoming a bit CYNICAL about LOVE; "I'M NOT SURE WHAT 'I LOVE YOU' MEANS," for me, you need a lot of self-respect to say that, or it just becomes words. You FALL IN and OUT of LOVE during a relationship anyway.

For me, WOMEN are probably better at it than MEN. But there's no all-purpose formula. SHE must understand HIS psychology and motivations, and adapt HERSELF in a way that PUSHES THE RIGHT BUTTON in HIM. To get HIM to FALL IN LOVE (as opposed to lust) requires a far more profound understanding and a different sort of talent- SHE HAS TO GET UNDER HIS SKIN!!!.
But recently I discover an alternative METHOD. There is one senior lecturer in psychology at one hospital in London (sorry, I can't remember the name), suggest that when MAN is in love,"THE EMOTIONS OF LOVE FEED THE HYPOTHALAMUS OF THE BRAIN, DRIVING THE PITUITARY GLAND TO RELEASE HORMONES. THESE HORMONES STIMULATE HIS TESTES TO RELEASE SEX HORMONES".

Basically, A MAN'S BRAIN IS LINKED TO HIS BALLS, WHICH IS WHAT WE SUSPECTED ALL ALONG. More interestingly, one of the chemicals produced by the brain when you FALL IN LOVE is PHENYLETHYLAMINE - the same chemical that's in chocolate.

Sunday 2 December 2007

MaMaN Says....# 1 -Let's Talk About LOVE (or LUST) :D

I've only fall in LOVE once, at 16(wahhh...so young meh???...hahahah). I did the poetry and the flowers. I've smiled to everybody the whole day and even sung along to Elvis Presley :p. I've ached to telephoned her using public 'coin' phone(I'm not scared, just a little bit shy to my parents...heheheh)10 minutes after we parted.

Men may be renowned for hiding their emotions, but when we're in LOVE, our macho street credibility dies. No behavior is too embarrassing for the lovelorn male. Although at the time it all felt wonderful and I told myself it was LOVE, looking back, I can see I was kidding myself.



You might find the perfect girl when you're 17, but you're unlikely to be ready to fall in LOVE. At 20++(after you graduated from college/university and start your career),your feelings will be more powerful because you're ready. It's almost environmental: your friends are pairing off, you're bored in your relationship or you're worried about getting old. At that point, if a woman enters your life who's the right mix of ingredients, chances are; YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE !!! kapusshhh!.....just like that...hehehhehh....and you'll start losing yourself and in worst case scenarios; you'll start spending a LOT of your hard-earn money on HER!

In almost every case, it's about SEX at the start. When you're talking about that euphoric sensation of falling in LOVE, falling in LUST would be more appropriate. But it's very difficult, for both men and women, to differentiate between an infatuation caused by physical attraction and something that has more to it. Some of my friends said,"It has nothing to do with it(sex)...period!". "When you falling in LOVE, sex become LESS IMPORTANT," he insist.

Well, for me, it's depend on what is your objective in that particular relationship. If you're looking for someone to get married, then maybe it's not about SEX. But if you don't have any objective or you just accidently bumped into some girls, then you might think about having some fun(SEX) rather than a relationship that is destined for longevity.

to be continued....
