Don't Be Conned!

Yes, this syndicate or similar syndicates had been operating since 2009-so said those people from Bukit Aman.

I got a call from the syndicate just about 30 minutes ago.

This is how it went.

"Hello! This is Bukit Aman. Inspector Lee here. Is that Mr. ABC?"

" Yes....."

Conversation turned into Chinese.

" Saya tak faham....." I replied.

The line then went cold.

The number of the caller was 03-2266 2222.

For the uninitiated, Bukit Aman is the Police HQ of the Malaysian Royal Police Force. From reading some of the blogs of those who had received similar calls, apparently, they will cajoled you with some stories of money laundering and put the apparent proverbial fear into you that somehow you or your loved ones are involved as some of your documents have been found with the so-called money laundering syndicate.

According the the blogs, if you phone that number on your hand-phone using the land-line, you will reach Bukit Aman. However, if you use the hand phone instead, you will reach the syndicate which was marking you for a con.

So, how did they do it?

One theory is that the syndicate have people in both Celcom and Telekom Malaysia who are technically speaking, helping them in the rip-off.

So, watch out and do not feel dismayed if you should receive such a call.

Halelujah! Praise the Lord!

It has been a long saga. from deciding to send our daughter to do a professional course way back in 2007 and to see its eventual end today.

Praise the Lord for this day. It is the day that my daughter transit from the world as a formal accounting student into the real  world of  bean counting.

We have seen God's favour upon us as we uphold his Holy Name. Yes, a milestone for the family and for my daughter in particular. As the good Book says, if God is for you, who can be against you. Neither circumstances, powers and principalities if you have the spirit, armour and sword of  God.

We thank the Lord for the joy he is bringing into our home.

Amen.

Goodbye Gorky of Old

The legendary Gorky Park is no longer sacrosanct.  It has been included into a development programme to make over  and to modernise the landscape so as to make it attractive.

In the picture, a couple danced near the Moscow River in celebration of the checkered glory of the park's  halcyon days.

Realistic Moving Stills- Interesting

Yes, these truly spooked me at first. But today, with computers and software, anything is possible.

Enjoy!

Shaddup,Bird!

Yes, this is no ordinary domestic scene.

Oftentimes, it is quite the opposite.

More reminiscent of Mad Magazine's The Shadow Tells.

Marc Anthony and Tiger's Losses

Yes,it depends how you look at it.

Both ladies have their exes too, I am sure.

Why they gave away of shared lives that they were so sure of when they did get married is beyond all comprehension.

I would understand why Erin Nordegrin reacted the way she did after Tiger's transgresses.

But why J. Lo? Are 7 years a mere trifling and a pair of twins to boot of little consequence?

There is definitely more than meets the eye here.

I read today of Erin and a billionaire's scion of a son adating.

Interesting what the billionaire's son sees in Nordegrin. I do.

As for Jennifer Lopez, what are you not telling?

Whatever it is, I know  that both Marc and Tiger will be missing them so.

A Shout in the Shadows

There will always be this sense of unease when you are accosted by strangers.

In fact, in one of my English comprehension exercise to my students, I had one that dealt with dealing with strangers.

The most succinct points were those of escape.

When accosted, do not engage the strangers if possible. Try to get away from the situation. If there is harassment, shout for help.

And so it came to passed.

I was walking towards my car after class just last week.

While walking in the dark five-foot way, suddenly I heard a shout. A man on a motorbike harkened to me as if in need of help to get directions.

I smelled a rat. He could easily had stopped at the brighter coffee-shop areas to do that. Yet, he chose me walking solitarily in the dark shadows-an easy prey.

So, I pretended not to have heard him and quickly walked into the beckoning light of the coffee shop. Safety,at last.

I took my own advice,so it seems straight from the text of my own lesson!
