Thanks to United States, the global political and potentially military landscape would change. U.S. outsourcing (to China) business model has made China an economic powerhouse, which could outgrow U.S. itself, given a couple more years. And thanks to lame duck President Barack Obama, who has yet to grow his spine, Russia under Vladimir Putin’s rule […]
... written on Nov 15 2014If there’s one thing that can unite Malaysians regardless of race and religion, it has to be sport. Badminton is the only sport that put Malaysia on the world map. In fact, you can’t think of anything else that would make Malaysians proud other than badminton. Certainly not corruption index, university ranking, MH370 or MH17, […]
... written on Nov 13 2014Forget about Google’s search engine or driverless car projects. The company might have bigger secretive projects that could leapfrog mankind from the World Wide Web to the next quantum leap – space exploration and robotics. If “Terminator” robots take over the world soon, blame it on Google. Of course, after watching how Skynet became self-aware […]
... written on Nov 11 2014Can you still remember being called “idiot or stupid” by your teacher(s) or friend(s) during school days? Worse still, your biological parents labelled you stupid simply because you weren’t among the top students in your class. Of course, most of us accepted the fate as it was, and blamed it on gene or DNA, which […]
... written on Nov 10 2014Good news – women are now allowed to drive (*tongue-in-cheek*). Of course we’re talking about the only country in the world that previously does not allow them to do so – Saudi Arabia.

Kim who must have thought it would be a freaking good publicity stunt had posted a cartoon image of herself with President Obama. She was instead called a “moron” and “useless bimbo” after she wrote […]
... written on Nov 06 2014Yesterday, we wrote about the happy and sad consequences as a result of US dollar bull run. Americans are cheering a stronger dollar for a simple reason that their purchasing power will be higher. It will cost them lesser for a vacation in Paris or Bangkok, for example. Since Americans don’t believe in saving, they […]
... written on Nov 05 2014Forget about Islamic State militants, tumbling oil prices, China’s weakening economy, Japan’s recession, Germany’s slowing economic data and whatnot. There’s a new problem which will affect every single country on planet Earth. The US dollar has surged to a four-year high against a basket of currencies, breaching key technical resistance. The index – a mix […]
... written on Nov 04 2014After Scotland failed to get its independence, Britain prime minister David Cameron was relieved that his job is secured, at least for now. But his real problem is UKIP – UK Independence Party – the rising star that almost every Briton calls the real patriotic party worth voting for. Basically, the country has gone to […]
... written on Nov 03 2014Politics is a bitch and it doesn’t discriminate democracy or communism. And if politics can happens in office or among siblings, its tentacles can spread as far as you can imagine.
