An unlikely setting, Taman Rimba Ampang is a surprising slice of lowland rainforest at the end of the road. No more than a sliver of green jungle lingering along a one kilometer stretch of pavement, it really is an escape from the city next door. Recently spruced up with sidewalks and landscaped grounds, it's the perfect place for a stroll or picnic outing. A wide, shallow stream gently flows the length of the park for easy water walks, kid dips or just sitting in cool pools. Nothing is hard about a visit to this scenic site except the rocks and paved street. That's one reason why the place swells with visitors on weekends and holidays.

The hill slopes radiate an ancient quality as big tropical trees tower above the urban park facilities. Impressive strangler figs hug host trees locked in a death dance, as they slowly overtake the space. The best thing to do is dawdle. Just hang around and enjoy the old forest. Take the kids, take the neighbor's kids and just play outdoors.

Time/Date: Tomorrow (Saturday 10/June2011) 9am gather at LRT Ampang station, I can fetch 3 who are not driving

Do what there? Mandi mandi, jalan jalan dalam sungai, photography if you dslrfag, picnic, etc

Entrance fee: RM1

QUOTE(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_%28film%29)

Super 8 is an upcoming science fiction film written and directed by J. J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. The film, starring Elle Fanning, AJ Michalka, and Kyle Chandler, will be released on June 10, 2011 in conventional and IMAX theaters.

In 1979 the United States Air Force shuts down a portion of Area 51 and ships the material stored at the decommissioned site by rail to an undisclosed but secure location in Ohio. In the fictional town of Lillian, Ohio, a group of teenagers are making a movie with a Super 8 mm film camera when they witness a train crash. They suspect it was not an accident. There are disappearances and unexplained events around town, and the local deputy investigates the cause of the events leading to the discovery of something nobody expects.

I was told recently smart people can simply call others brainless. It is their rights to do so. True or false? I confuse Liao because mama say how smart also cannot call other people brainless we must be the better human by not insulting others.

[NEWS] No pic at graduation = GIVE BACK MY MONEY!

A SINGAPOREAN couple want their daughter to return RM98,000 in school fees because their relationship had turned sour, Sin Chew Daily reported.

The parents claimed that the daughter had refused to join in a photography session with them after her graduation.

“We took her grandparents to her graduation, but she stayed away. When we managed to get to her, she took off her gown and went home.

“We are so disappointed with her behaviour, so we decided to ask her to return the money,” the 56-year-old father said.

He added that his daughter did not inform them that she had bought a house and was going to get married.

“My daughter has changed since she began working. She moved out of our house after we had a fight,” he said.

[NEWS] Gold plated Nokia!

QUOTE(http://techland.time.com)

Nokia's fighting back in the smartphone wars with something really special: a gold-plated handset.

Take that, Apple. Ha!

The Nokia Oro is plated in 18-carat gold, has a sapphire crystal on the Home button, and comes lovingly wrapped in leather from "one of Scotland's finest Caledonian herds". Inside, it's basically a C7, runs Symbian, has an 8MP camera with 720p video recording, blah blah yadda yadda. Who cares what's inside? It's covered in gold, for crying out loud. This is not a phone for people who use phones. This is a phone for people who want to be seen holding a gold phone.

Nokia's quite up front about it:

QUOTE(Nokia)

"The Nokia Oro is a device that's clearly intended for someone who doesn't want their mobile device to look the same as other people's. The main markets for this sort of device are the Middle East and Russia, where they have been best-sellers for some time."

Want one? It will go on sale later this year, and will cost you €800. That's a little over $1,100. A bargain at twice the price, I'm sure you'll agree.

Waiter! I'll have the most expensive wine you've got. Go and pour it down the drain for me. Because I say so. Oh, is that my phone ringing? Hey everyone, look, my gold phone is ringing! Hey!

[NEWS] 3D on Youtube!

QUOTE(techland.time.com)

As if the downturn on theater ticket sales wasn't enough bad news for proponents of upgrading movie theaters for 3D screenings, now comes the news that people can watch 3D movies at home... via YouTube.
Google has teamed with Mozilla and NVIDIA to support YouTube users' ability to watch stereoscopic 3D videos, supported by a new HTML5-based playback mode for Firefox 4. YouTube has been offering stereoscopic 3D as an option since 2009, but the option was only available to the very few who had 3D-enabled computers.

The new partnership allows many, many more users the chance to imagine that things are buffering right in front of their face. 3D project manager at YouTube, Jonathan Huang, is understandably in favor of the partnership:
"We're excited to introduce HTML5 and WebM support to the thousands of 3D videos available on YouTube. By embracing these open standards, NVIDIA 3D Vision users now have a great way of experiencing YouTube's library of 3D content."

The idea of 3D YouTube seems like a niche market now, but with the increased availability of 3D cameras in recent years - this is where NVIDIA comes in - it's a vertical that's likely to grow as more and more people decide to try their hand at becoming amateur James Camerons.
For those with the ability to view the videos, there's a showcase available right here - For everyone else, all you'll see is a duplicated image, and a growing desire to upgrade your system or go out and see Thor for a second time.

[WTA] A new policy in my office.

I've been working in this company for 2 years, and every day I go to work in shirt and jeans. My job? I entertain clients on the phone. Recently a new kid in the block got promoted, and he proposed we should all wear formal to work. No more sandals, no more shorts. Most of us protested it, and the ultimatum was handed down by the boss himself: wear formal or get fired.

Should I try to be the hero and lead the pack in mass exodus? Or should I be the coward?
