Best Value LCD TV.

Last Thursday, i was driving home late from my company (TPM), when I was approaching Balakong Jasco, the traffic jam was damn serious. Guess what, it was Jasco members' day. After jammed for more than 20 mins, i had decided to join the group (Ke Po) to Jasco. I just went to the electronic department. I found out that many of the branded LCD TVs was on sale, Panasonic, Sony. Sharp and Philips...
After scouting all the LCD TV (for a suitable 32 inches LCD), I have decided to buy Philips LCD, with a very simple reason, Philips LCD gave the most discount, the cheapest among all 32inches LCD.

Initially I wanted to buy Panasonic 32 inches (VIERA TX-32LE8MK), but then I found out that many display resolution is not supported for this model.

Philips (32PFL3403) 768P display supported most of the video format.

The only drawback it is just supported HD ready, not a full HD LCD.

Something extra to share here,
Do we really need a Full HD 1080p display?
After doing some own research, you can only see the different if you sit 5.5 feet or closer, else you will not be able to appreciate the full glory of high definition TV.

A Full HD is a screen that has a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixles. This can accept and play images that have been scaled up to 1080 with progressive scanning. This is what is known as 1080p up scaling.

A HD Ready screen on the other hand has a native resolution of 1366x768 pixels and can display images with up to 720p resolutions. Though it will also accept a 1080p image, this will be down scaled to match the screen's parameters.

As has been mentioned elsewhere many times, a Full HD system will make sense only if you have a screen size of 42 inches or more. Less than that, a HD Ready system is more that ample.

New telephone cheating tactic

New telephone cheating tactic
A true story, from my friend's friend's colleague.

Dear friends,
I have been cheated recently. So I would like to share my experience with you all on how the tactic they use

1) On Saturday, I receive a phone call from AMBank, a system playback message announce that "You have outstanding balance of RM4,982 for the AMBank credit card, kindly make the payment asap. For customer service, please press 1"
2) Since I do not have credit card service with AM Bank, I press 1 to talk to the customer service. And after providing my name and IC number, the customer service told me that there is a credit card under my name. I respond that I did not applied it before. The customer service say is it possible that people stole your info and make a credit card from it. She suggest me to call the Bank Negara - Pusat Pengurusan Kad Palsu to make a report so that they will investigate on it. Since it is Sunday, she suggest I make the phone call on Monday and provide me a phone number 03-8659 0241.
3) On Monday morning, I make a phone call to the given number, I can hear the annoucement "Terima Kasih kerana menhubungi Bank Negara..." After that I talk to a guy that speak in Malay. He call me back later with the same callerID, and start to ask my detail of complain. He also keep on telling me that if what I say is not true, I will be caught by police and jail. He then ask for all my credit card detail, have I ever use credit card on ATM, my ATM card and the balance. He also told me not to expose the report detail to my friends as it may affected the investigation result. After that he give me a report number and mentioned that a colleague from other department will help me to secure all my bank accounts.
4) After a while, I receive a phone call from a girl, she told me that they have suspend all my bank accounts now. But the ATM card they can not do it remotely, hence she want me to go to the ATM machine, and key in some special "PIN" to stop the card. After I reach the ATM, she call me and told me that later what I see on screen is not the true info. I just need to key in the PIN given by her. So I just follow the step and key in everything. She then ask me to destroy the transaction slip and throw it away. Then told me within 3 days can not use my ATM cards and other bank accounts.

So how I get cheated?
1) the call from AMBank is fake, they just some one that call you and play back the AMbank message
2) Pusat Pengurusan Kad Palsu is fake, I have call Bank Negara and there is no such department
3) Key in the "PIN" at ATM is fake also, those PIN is actually somebody account number and the amount to be transfer.

女生權益 - Women's Rights

各位女士們注意：

傍晚6pm至早上6am是女生權益（重要咨詢）

曾經與一位律師朋友聊天得知，我們正談論法律和女士的權益問題…

律師朋友告訴我一個案：
一個年輕的少女被身穿便服的男警察強奸了。當時，少女和男友拿不出駕駛執照，這警察要求少女跟她回警察局，要其男友回家去拿駛照。
途中就載少女到一処偏僻地方，強奸了她。

律師朋友清楚說到：其實女士們在傍晚6pm-6am是有權利拒絕任何（男）警察的要求，自己單獨跟隨一或一群（男）警察囘返警局。即使有通緝令，也可以暫時拒絕。
除非，當時是被女警逮捕，而且警察局裏的警察人員都是《女警》在當值。又或者，被男警逮捕時有女警在場。否則一概可拒絕。

這法律知識對我們很有幫助，以防備下囘有類似事情發生在我們身上、家人朋友身上。
因爲很多人對《法律》和《警方程序》的無知，而不幸受害真的很多。

說真的，對此我之前真的不知道，相信也有很多人不知道。。

請傳給你認識所有人、身邊的家人朋友（尤其女士）。。
祝大家幸福平安每一天。


Women's Rights 6 pm to 6 am (important for your knowledge)

Dear all,

Please read and share with your loved one ....

IMPORTANT
Women's Rights 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine.
We were discussing the law and women's rights.

She told me about this incident
- a young girl was raped by a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police station when she and her male friend didn't have a driver's license to show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to accompany him to the police station.

Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed.

In fact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her...

It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6 pm and 6 am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station.
And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest.

It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use remains to be seen in any situation. But as they say, knowledge is power. Just thought I'd share this with you. I did not know this and am sure lot of us will not know this- please be informed..... And pass on this info to whom all you know.......

Best Regards,
Jonathan Lee

绝口不提爱你

Wah, this guy so geng, very powerful voice.



郑中基 - 绝口不提爱你
专辑:
绝口不提爱你
词/曲 : 黄中原
闭上眼睛忍住呼吸
暂时要和世界脱离
就快要学会不再想你
却听见不断跳动的心
我允许了你
让爱的自由还给你
我允许了自己
承受这悲伤到天明
我不愿放弃却要故意默默允许
我答应自己爱你的心绝口不提
总是以为终究化作云淡风轻
爱你到底
痛了自己
我不愿放弃却要故意默默允许
我答应自己爱你的心绝口不提
所有结局在这夜里都已成形
爱到了底
痛的是我的真心
