A Day in Johor Bahru and A Writing Job In the Bag

Did not see this side of the city

As usual, I fret about long journeys but M was most understandable.

We stopped for pee-breaks along the way.

I have not seen Johore Bahru for about 16 years now.

However, did not get to see the usual city side of Johore Bahru off Jalan Wong Ah Fook but more of Johor Jaya.

We had a half-day meeting with the client and achieved plenty.

Assuming that they give me the information that we sought by Friday, I should be able to put out the application by end of August.

Had a tuna sandwich with the hosts at Lavender before heading home at 5.45 pm.

Maniam drove well and we reached home at 10 pm.

Great day for me as I secured a writing job at a good rate.

So,its hard work for me on this grant application, the MPC job as well as this new job.

Bunny just contacted me as another job might be opening at UEM.

When God closes one door, he really opened up many until my cup's runneth over!

Shooting Off Your Mouth

Yes, these comments are just...... incredulous.

They are equally laughable.

Enjoy.

What happens when you shoot off your mouth!!

Fun Time at the Olympics!

News of Olympic Proportions
 
Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during past Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria . I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."

5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't  like it.  In fact you can see it all over their faces."

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife  of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."

8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."

9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them...
Oh my God, what have I just said?"

Get the Spread, BJLand Told

A Potential Placement ? BJLand has received a rejection on its application to maintain a lower public shareholding spread. It's current spread is only 18.63%. This shows that most of the shares are held by the Berjaya Group of companies and its allies. As the Sports Toto shares will be put under a reit in Singapore, I do not see why the shares must be amassed and held tightly anymore. The more the spread, the better will be its activity. Bursa KL however have given BJLand an extension of time to comply with the public shareholding Will there be a share placement in the offing?

BJFoods and Its Warrants-Opening Trades

Losing traction

Well, as expected the price of BJFoods (BJF) slumped to 92 sen before recovering to 94 sen for a loss of 3 sen.

The warrants opened at 48 sen before being traded down to 42 sen.

If you take the price of RM1.43 sen before it went ex-all, the difference will be RM1.43-94 sen = (a loss of 49sen) sen. Tack on 42 sen and you still lose 7 sen.

So, for those who kept the share and took the rights and warrants, it is a loss if you bought in at RM1.43 sen cum rights.

Only those who bought at RM1.36 will break even on gross; losing on nett.

Those who bought at  RM1.32 will scrap through with no losses.

What you need to do is maybe become a long-term player on this counter and hope that Starbucks will bring big bucks to you!

So, have you got the picture now?

Another Writing Job

To Write Expressively

Maybe I am risking it but I guess I still have the capacity to take on this one. God willing.

This is an assignment to write something on web business.

The trick is to digest the fundamentals of business in the virtual world; its early beginnings and the current action in the ever dynamic and competitive virtual platforms using Facebook to other social working networks.

The only thing is to make it understandable to the layman.

A Malaysian Indian as a Potential Second DPM?

Opening a Possibility?

The Malaysian political fabric is certainly fraying at the seams with NGOs now jumping on the bandwagon when political parties remain deafeningly mute on off-colour issues like demanding that an Indian be made  a Second DPM.

Trust MIC not to be tangled in this fangled issue. They will not leave the comfort zone.

So, NIAT which stands for the National Indian Action Rights Team has done MIC a favour it has never dared asked for even in private.

That Ambiga also appears in this team is fodder to feed on.

Will she be plunging into politics now?
