MBA (Hospitality)

ketonazole — Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:52:14 +0800

Hello all,

I've been asked by a family friend of mine for MBA Course with specialisation in Tourism. I found that only KDU and UUM offers MBA in that discipline.

Here is what I've learnt so far :

KDU - the program is done in collaboration with a Hospitality School in Switzerland. Range of RM40k-ish.

UUM - the campus will be the one in KL, where many potential big shots will be attending. Range of RM30k.

Any comments on either of the schools in relevance to their MBA program?
Thx

[wta] Docomo unlock service

ketonazole — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 13:37:00 +0800

Hello people,

A relative in Japan just sent my sister a Docomo F-03D. I need a place where they can unlock Docomo products. I've tried asking in SouthCity, apparently, they do not do it there.
Any suggestions where I can do it?

PS: I'm aware of online instructions to unlock it myself. Experience taught me : the last time I tried to root an Iphone 4, it turned into a brick phone - lesson learnt.

Thanks

Hello people,

I just dropped my SE Xperia Pro from the 2nd storey. The glass screen protecting the LCD is smashed, but the LCD is working fine, touch is also working well.
Any idea or rough estimate of how much it might cost to replace that glass cover?

thanks

Flash Mob

ketonazole — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 17:26:05 +0800

Hello people,

Me and a group of other like-minded youths are planning to hold a flash mob in a public space soon. Its gonna be just a 5mins ordeal.
Our cause is something that is in common with what the Malaysian government is calling for.

(I'm avoiding details to prevent this from being coming a debate ground for the cause)

All said and done, is police permission needed?

Letter from Mom

ketonazole — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 01:20:26 +0800

My dear Jagjit,

I am in a well here and hoping you are also in a well there.

I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast.

We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles.

I won't be able to send the address as the last Sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they would not have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to take our earlier address plate here, and that our address will remain same too.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated
Right Above the toilet I'm not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain and haven't seen them since. The weather here isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.

The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.

Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery.

By the way I took Bahu to our club's poolside. The manager is Badmash. He told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed in his club. We were confused as to which piece should we remove?

Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.

Your uncle, Jetinder fell in the nearby well. Some men tried to pull
Him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.

There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.

Love - Mom.

P.S . Jagjit, I was going to send you some money but by the time I
Realized, I had already sealed off this letter.

Mulla Nasrudin jokes

ketonazole — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 23:34:06 +0800

here's some U rated jokes...(very rare these a days)

Promises Kept
A friend asked the mulla "How old are you?" "Forty replied the mullah." The friend said but you said the same thing two years ago!" "Yes" replied the mullah, "I always stand by what i have said."

When you face things alone
When Nasrudin lost his donkey, the villagers remarked, "You may have lost your donkey, nasruddin, but you don't have to grieve over it more than you did about the loss of your first wife."
Nasrudin replied, "Ah, but if you remember, when i lost my wife, all you villagers said: We'll find you someone else. So far, nobody has offered to replace my donkey."

Bandits
ိ္္"When I was in the desert," said Nasruddin one day, "I caused an entire tribe of horrible and bloodthirsty bandits to run."
"However did you do it?"
"Easy. I just ran, and they ran after me."

Honorific title
A certain conqueror said to Nasruddin: "Mulla, all the great rulers of the past had honorific titles with the name of God in them: there was, for instance, God-Gifted, and God-Accepted, and so on. How about some such name for me?"
"God Forbid," said Nasruddin.

Fashion show
Once, when Mullah Nasruddin was visiting a Western town, he was invited to attend a fashion show. He went, and afterwards he was asked how he liked it. "It's a complete swindle!" he exclaimed indignantly. "Whatever do you mean?" he was asked. "They show you the women - and then try to sell you the clothes!"

Speech
Once, the people of The City invited Mulla Nasruddin to deliver a speech. When he got on the minbar (pulpit), he found the audience was not very enthusiastic, so he asked "Do you know what I am going to say?" The audience replied "NO", so he announced "I have no desire to speak to people who don't even know what I will be talking about" and he left.
The people felt embarrassed and called him back again the next day. This time when he asked the same question, the people replied "YES" So Mullah Nasruddin said, "Well, since you already know what I am going to say, I won't waste any more of your time" and he left.
Now the people were really perplexed. They decided to try one more time and once again invited the Mullah to speak the following week. Once again he asked the same question - "Do you know what I am going to say?" Now the people were prepared and so half of them answered "YES" while the other half replied "NO". So Mullah Nasruddin said "The half who know what I am going to say, tell it to the other half" and he left!

Guest of Honour
One day Nasruddin went to a banquet. As he was dressed rather shabbily, no one let him in. So he ran home, put on his best robe and fur coat and returned. Immediately, the host came over, greeted him and ushered him to the head of an elaborate banquet table. When the food was served, Nasruddin took some soup with spoon and pushed it to the his fur coat and said, "Eat my fur coat, eat! It's obvious that you're the real guest of honor today, not me! "

Frightening place
One day a visitor came to Mullah Nasruddin with a question. "Mullah Nasruddin, the place that we humans come from and the place that we go to, what is it like?" "Oh," said Mullah Nasruddin, "it is a very frightening place." "Why do you say that?" the visitor asked. "Well, when we come from there as babies, we are crying, and when somebody has to go there, everybody cries."

One day two small boys decided to play a trick on Mullah Nasruddin. With a tiny bird cupped in their hands they would ask him whether it was alive or dead. If he said it was alive they would crush it to show show him he was wrong. If he said it was dead they would let it fly away and still fool him. When they found the wise old man they said, "Mullah Nasruddin, that which we are holding, is it alive or dead?" Mullah Nasruddin thought for a moment and replied, "Ah, my young friends, that is in your hands!"

That was the time Mullah Nasruddin's family was very poor. One day Nasruddin 's wife woke him in the middle of the night and whispered, "Nasruddin, There is a thief in the kitchen!" "Shhh... Stupid woman! replied Nasruddin. Let him be. Perhaps he find something then we seize it!"
