Body Language

Samy Vellu was visiting India when he fell and broke his jaw and was unable to speak. Being the great leader that he was, he continued his grand tour.

On the last week of his visit, the RTM crew was present for his press conference. Although unable to speak, Samy insisted sending a message home to his Cabinet colleagues.

Samy caught a chicken and showed it to camera. He next took a goat, and showed it to the camera. Finally he took a bag and displayed in front of the camera.

Dr Ling was the first to see the video clips. He said, "Samy is telling us that India has insufficient food because heshowed us chicken and goat, and he wants Malaysia to donate bags of rice." The senator watched silently then said, "No lah!... what Samy trying to say is HE IS COMING BACK!!!"

The whole Cabinet was puzzled and look to the man for an explanation.

The Senator reasoned, "AYAM KAMBING BAG!!!"

("I am coming back!!!" in Indian accent)

How English Important To You

A Russian woman married a Canadian gentleman and they lived happily ever after in Toronto . However, the poor lady was not very proficient in English, but did manage to communicate with her husband. The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries.

One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs. She didn't know how to put forward her request, and in desperation, clucked like a chicken and lifted up her skirt to show her thighs. Her butcher got the message, and gave her the chicken legs.

Next day she needed to get chicken breasts, again she didn't know how to say it, and so she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breasts! The butcher understood again, and gave her some chicken breasts.

On the 3rd day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. Unable to find a way to communicate this, she brought her husband to the store...

Helloooooooooo, her husband can speak English laaaa !

Tips To Save Your Vehicle Fuel Consumption

1) Pump up your tyres

Keeping your tyres inflated is one of the easiest and most important things. Saving petrol means saving money one can do to improve fuel economy. If a range is recommended by the anufacturer, the higher pressure should be used to maximize fuel efficiency. Deflated tyres run hot and jeopardize safety. It will also cause the tyres to wear out prematurely, affect the vehicles adversely, and hurt the fuel economy by increasing the rolling resistance.

Tyres lose about 1 psi pressure per month due to air loss caused by the tyre hitting holes, bumps and kerbs. Therefore, the tyres should be checked at least once a month. Just 1 tyre deflated by 2 psi will result in a 1% increase in fuel consumption.

2) Drive at moderate speed

Avoiding high speeds on open roads results in safer driving and better fuel economy. In highway driving, over 50% of the power produced by the engine is used to overcome aerodynamic drag. Drag and thus fuel consumption increases rapidly at speeds above 90km/h. On the average, a car uses about 15% more fuel at 100km/h, and 25% more fuel at 110km/h compared to when it is doing only 90km/h. However, this should not lead one to conclude that the lower the speed, the better the fuel economy - because it is not. The fuel consumption of an average car increases sharply at speeds below 50km/h.

3) Clean the air-filter regularly

Clogged air filters increase fuel consumption by restricting airflow to the engine, and thus should be cleaned/replaced when necessary. Clogged air filters can increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.

4) Use thinner tyres

Tyres with thick width will improve the handling of your car. However, it will also increase your car's fuel consumption. Thicker tyres mean more rolling resistance, and thus will consume more fuel.

5) Start up the car properly

With today's cars, it is not necessary to prime the engine first by pumping the accelerator pedal repeatedly.Do not crank the engine excessively This only wastes fuel.When starting the engine, idle it no more than 30 seconds to warm it up. An engine will warm up faster on the road. However, avoid sudden acceleration before the engine has warmed up sufficiently.

6) Drive in high gear (overdrive)

The engine runs most efficiently between around 1,500 and 2,500rpm. To maintain these low revs you should change up through the gears as soon as practical and before the revs reach 2500 rpm. For automatic transmission cars, you should always switch on your overdrive to help save fuel. Overdrive will allow your engine to change gears at lower revs. It also puts your transmission into an "economy" mode and lets it engage the final "overdrive" gear when cruising to keep the rpms extra low, thereby increasing fuel economy.

7) Travel light

Avoid carrying any unnecessary weight in your car. On the average, every 50kg added load in your car will increase fuel consumption by 2%.

8) Anticipate traffic ahead

A driver can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10% by anticipating traffic conditions ahead and adjusting the speed accordingly, and avoiding tailgating and thus unnecessary braking and acceleration. Accelerations and decelerations waste fuel. Braking and abrupt stops can be minimized by not following too closely and slowing down gradually when approaching a red light. It takes up to six times as much fuel to move a car from a dead stop than it does for one moving at just a few km/h.

9) Avoid strong acceleration

The fuel consumption remains at a minimum during steady driving at a moderate speed of about 90km/h. Keep in mind that every time the accelerator is hard pressed, the engine goes into a "fuel-enrichment" mode of operation that wastes fuel.The vehicle should always be gradually and smoothly accelerated. Using cruise control on highways can help maintain a constant speed and reduce fuel consumption.

10) Minimise aerodynamic drag

Additional parts on the exterior of a vehicle such as roof racks and spoilers, or having the window open, Roof racks are bad for fuel economy increases air resistance and fuel consumption, in some cases by over 20%.

11) Don't let your engine idle

Minimize fuel wasted in idling by stopping the engine whenever your car is stopped or held up for an extended period of time. Idling more than a minute consumes much more fuel than restarting the engine. By having the engine switched off, you will save more fuel than is lost from the burst of fuel involved in restarting the engine. The net increased wear and tear from this practice is negligible.

12) Use the air-con sparingly

Air conditioners can use about 10 per cent extra fuel when operating. However, at speeds of over 80 km/h, use of air conditioning is better for fuel economy than an open window

4 Things You Probably Never Knew Your Mobile Phone

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

1st : Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

2nd : Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.

Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

3rd : Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

4th : How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phon! e: *#06#

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

They are all TRUE... Now go back and think about #16!!!

Siapa Punya Kerja Ni!!!

Dalam satu perjalanan bas menuju ke kota kinabalu, mulanya memang seronok, sebab dapat tengok keindahan hutan bukit di sepanjang perjalanan. Tapi setelah beberapa jam dalam perjalanan, mata pun mula naik hijau melihat kawasan2 pokok kelapa sawit dan barbagai lagi lah jenis tumbuhan.

So sebagai langkah menghilangkan boring saya pun mula melelapkan mata.. Sambil-sambil dengar muzik. Tapi entah tak semena-mena tiba-tiba hidung ini tercium sesuatu bau yang amat dahsyat! bau kentut! laaa... Siapa pulak yang terkentut kat dalam bas air-cond ni...

Penumpang bas mula bising, suasana jadi tidak keruan.. Iyalah dah tercium busuk orang! tapi yang paling bising, pakcik yang duduk kat belakang. "Siapa lah punya kerja ni? tak senang orang duduk. Kalau nak melepas tu, bagi salamlah dulu" katanya.

Saya dan penumpang lain pun mengangguk sama. Geram.. Mujurlah pemandu bas bertindak bijak dengan membuka pintu bas. Selamatlah juga hidung ni.

Beberapa jam kemudian, kami pun tiba di detinasi yang dituju. Setelah bas berhenti, semua penumpang bersedia untuk turun. Tak lama kemudian konduktor bas itu berkata "semua orang boleh turun. Kecuali orang yang kentut tadi tu. Tambangnya belum dibayar" laungnya. Dan selepas itu terdengar pula satu suara. "Aik saya sudah bayar tambang laaa, tadi kamu tidur ke?" marah empunya suara.

Apa lagi semua penumpang pun memandang ke arah empunya suara. Laaa rupanya pakcik tadi tu. Patutlah dia bising-bising, rupanya dia yang punya kerja!

Kesian Mak Dia...

Pada satu hari di tahun 60an ada satu perkampungan di Utara Malaya. Kampung ni takdak bekalan karen dan ayaq.

Kat kampung tu tinggailah satu keluarga yg miskin, Awang, dan mak dia, Cik Kiah. Menyedari depa ni miskin Cik Kiah selalu memotivasi anak dia supaya belajaq betui-betui utk masa depan yang lebih vogue dan anggun. Apabila menyedari kemiskinan yang ada dan berkat usaha dan kesabaran, Awang telah berjaya didalam pelajaran.

Dengan kelulusan yg ada, Awang telah berjaya dapat keja dengan gomen tapi masalah dia tempat keja dia tu kat Penang. Sayu gak hati dia nak tinggai Cik Kiah sorang sorang. yalah takut gak nanti org tackel mak dia.. sapa susah ? dia gak nanti yg susah tak pasai pasai dapat bapak tiri...

"Mak, bolehkah Cek pi keja kat Penang tu ?" kata Awang. "Cek risaulah kat mak" sampuknya lagi. "La, kalau kat mak hang nak risau tak payah la, mak tau la nak jaga diri mak. Kalau setakat makan pakai tu bukan mak tak tau nak buat, hang pi lah, utk masa depan hang gak," balas maknya. "Lagipun bukan senang o nak dapat keja dengan gomen, hang carilah satu kampung mana dapat, hang ni kira campian oo" kata maknya bangga. " T. Q mak, Awang janji takkan lupakan mak, kalau free free tu Awang akan bawak mak pi sana" kata Awang janji kat mak dia.

Maka dengan perasan sedih Awang pun berangkatlah ke Penang. Di sana gomen dah sediakan tempat tinggai (kuarters) utk dia. Berbeza dengan keadaan di kampung dia, segala infrastruktur yang lengkap memang terdapat kat kuartes dia duduk tu. "Wah selesanya" kata Awang. "Aku musti bawak mak aku mai sini tunjuk sikit kesofisikated tempat ni" bisik Awang.

Setelah sebulan di perantauan, Awang pun baliklah ke kampung dia. Balik bercuti la tu. Sampai saja di rumah, mak dia melompat lompat tengok anak dia dengan dressing yang agak moden dan bergaya over (culture shock la ni). Kerinduan Awang dengan mak dia pun terubat setelah depa berjumpak. "Mak, siok la dok kat Penang, macam-macam ada. Mak tau dak kat sana kan ada ayaq dalam besi dan paling canggih ada api dalam kaca" kata Awang mengklentong mak dia.

"Apa dia ? ayaq dalam besi, api dalam kaca ?, Awang oi hang bawak la mak pi tengok teringin sangat mak nak tengok benda-benda takjub macam tu" kata mak dia tergedik-gedik dan sugguh-sungguh.

Maka esoknya berangkatlah Cik Kiah dan Awang ke Penang. Seronoknya Cik Kiah tak terkata maklumlah tak pernah ke Penang sebelum ni. Dalam perjalanan macam macam yang ditanya oleh Cik Kiah kat Awang. Sampai temonyeh-monyeh Awang jawab pertanyaan mak dia ni. Sesampai kat rumah tercanggak-cangak Cik Kiah bila dok dalam rumah Awang, ada radio, ada kusyen dll. "Woih memang seperti yang pernah di cerita oleh Awang, memang canggih, tak pernah segala kecanggihan tu ada kat kampung depa. Proudlah Cik Kiah dengan semua benda-benda tu. "Balik nanti bolehlah aku habaq kat semua org kampung" bisiknya.

"Eh Awang hang kata nak tunjuk kat mak ayaq dalam besi, api dalam kaca, mana dia ?" bentak Cik Kiah yang sekali lagi tergedik-gedik. " "Ni ha dia api dalam kaca tu" sambil menekan suis lampu dan lampu kalimantang dalam rumah tu pun menyalalah. "Eh baik-baik satni meletup pulak kaca tu" kata Cik Kiah dengan nada yang takut-takut tapi terpesona. "Eh dak aih mana boleh meletup, api ni memang depa design dok dalam kaca, la ni mak tak payah susah-susah pasang pelita bila malam" kata Awang meyakinkan mak dia. Oh kini tanda tanya Cik Kiah ttg api dalam kaca sudah terjawab. "Memang aku nak canang satu kampung nanti dengan penemuan benda ni" kata Cik Kiah dalam hati sambil membayangkan muka jirannya Piah, Timah, Senah dll yang pasti akan terpegun den terkezutt nanti.

"Awang oi... tu baru api dalam kaca, ayaq dalam besi mana pulak ?" kata Cik Kiah tak sabaq sabaq. "Tu ha, ayaq dalam besi tu" tunjuk Awang kepada satu kepala paip dalam toilet rumah dia. "Oh ayaq dok dalam besi ni, jadi takyah la mak susah susah cedok ayaq kat telaga noo ??" kata Cik Kiah semakin bangga. Bertambah lagilah modai nak klentong jiran kampung dia nanti.

"Eh mak, Cek lapaq la, la ni Cek nak pi kedai sat beli makanan, mak dok sat, sat ni cek balik la", kata Awang. "Tak pa la, pi lah, mak pun nak sembahyang ni" jawab Cik Kiah.

Setengah jam kemudian baliklah Awang dengan bekalan makanan. Masuk aja dalam rumah di tengoknya mak dia sedang relex aja. " Ha, mak dah sembahyang ka ?" tanya Awang. "Dah" jawab Cik Kiah. "Ni nak tanya hang satu benda ni, awat telaga kat rumah hang ni kecik sangat ? tadi payah betui mak ambik ayaq sembahyang tau ?" tanya Cik Kiah lagi.

"Telaga ? mana ada telaga dalam rumah macam ni ? kat kampung kita ada la" tanya Awang. "Ni apa dia ? bukan ka tu telaga kecik ? cuba hang pebesaq sikit telaga tu taklah payahla mak ka, hang ka, nak ambik ayaq nanti" kata Cik Kiah sambil menunjuk kearah mangkuk tandas dalam toilet rumah Awang.

La Usurpadora... Awang seakan akan terpengsan bila mendengar penerangan mak dia. Rupanya dia lupa ajaq mak dia ayaq dalam besi tu kena pulas kepala paip tu dulu taklah mak dia cedok ayaq dalam "telaga kecik tu" uwaaaaaaa.

Pendayung Sampan Dan Profesor

Suatu hari, seorang Professor yang sedang membuat kajian tentang lautan menumpang sebuah sampan. Pendayung sampan itu seorang tua yang begitu pendiam. Professor memang mencari pendayung sampan yang pendiam agar tidak banyak bertanya ketika dia sedang membuat kajian.

Dengan begitu tekun Professor itu membuat kajian. Diambilnya sedikit air laut dengan tabung uji kemudian digoyang-goyang; selepas itu dia menulis sesuatu di dalam buku. Berjam-jam lamanya Professor itu membuat kajian dengan tekun sekali. Pendayung sampan itu mendongak ke langit.Berdasarkan pengalamannya dia berkata di dalam hati, "Hmm. Hari nak hujan."

"OK, semua sudah siap, mari kita balik ke darat" kata Professor itu. Pendayung sampan itu akur dan mula memusingkan sampannya ke arah pantai. Hanya dalam perjalanan pulang itu barulah Professor itu menegur pendayung sampan.

"Kamu dah lama kerja mendayung sampan?" Tanya Professor itu. "Hampir semur hidup saya." Jawab pendayung sampan itu dgn ringkas. "Seumur hidup kamu?" Tanya Professor itu lagi. "Ya". "Jadi kamu tak tahu perkara-perkara lain selain dari mendayung sampan?" Tanya Professor itu. Pendayung sampan itu hanya menggelengkan kepalanya. Masih tidak berpuas hati, Professor itu bertanya lagi, "Kamu tahu geografi?" Pendayung sampan itu menggelengkan kepala. "Kalau macam ni, kamu dah kehilangan 25 peratus dari usia kamu." Kata Professor itu lagi, "Kamu tahu biologi?" Pendayung sampan itu menggelengkan kepala. "Kasihan. Kamu dah kehilangan 50 peratus usia kamu. Kamu tahu fizik?" Professor itu masih lagi bertanya.

Seperti tadi, pendayung sampan itu hanya menggelengkan kepala. "Kalau begini, kasihan, kamu sudah kehilangan 75 peratus dari usia kamu.Malang sungguh nasib kamu, semuanya tak tahu.Seluruh usia kamu dihabiskan sebagai pednayung sampan." Kata Professor itu dengan nada mengejek dan angkuh. Pendayung sampan itu hanya berdiam diri.

Selang beberapa minit kemudian, tiba-tiba hujan turun. Tiba-tiba saja datang ombak besar. Sampan itu dilambung ombak besar dan terbalik.Professor dan pendayung sampan terpelanting. Sempat pula pendayung sampan itu bertanya, "Kamu tahu berenang?" Professor itu menggelengkan kepala. "Kalau macam ini, kamu dah kehilang 100 peratus nyawa kamu." Kata pendayung sampan itu sambil berenang menuju ke pantai.

Morale of the Story: Dalam hidup ini IQ yang tinggi belum tentu boleh menjamin kehidupan. Tak guna kita pandai dan tahu banyak perkara jika tak tahu perkara-perkara penting dalam hidup. Adakalanya orang yang kita sangka bodoh itu rupanya lebih berjaya dari kita. Dia mungkin bodoh dalam bidang yang tidak adakena mengena dengan kerjayanya, tetapi "MASTER" dalam bidang yang diceburi.

Hidup ini singkat. Jadi, tanyalah pada diri sendiri,untuk apakah ilmu yg dikumpulkan jika bukan utk digunakan dan boleh digunakan?

Hikmat Inspirasi: Kepuasan itu terletak pada usaha bukannya pada pencapaian. Usaha sempurna adalah kemenangan sempurna...

Mutiara Kata Luqman Al-Hakim

Berkatalah Luqman mengajar anaknya ilmu yang datang dari sisi Tuhan Yang Maha Mengetahui:

“Hai anak-anakku, janganlah engkau sekali-kali mempersekutukan Tuhanmu dengan apa sekalipun, kerana mempersekutukan Allah satu kezaliman yang sangat besar, dan bersyukurlah kepada Tuhanmu kerana kurniaan-Nya. Orang yang mulia tidak mengingkari Penciptanya kecuali orang yang kufur.

“Apakah tidak engkau perhatikan, apa yang Allah bentangkan bagimu apa-apa yang ada di langit dan di bumi daripada kebaikan yang amat banyak?

“Maka engkau menikmati kehidupan ini lantaran kurniaan-Nya, penuh keamanan, keimanan dan kebaikan yang melimpah ruah, di taman dunia yang subur mekar dengan bunga-bungaan serta tumbuhan yang berseri-seri.

“Jangan engkau berlaku derhaka terhadap ibu dan ayahmu dengan apa jua sekalipun, melainkan apabila mereka menyuruhmu derhaka kepada Yang Maha Berkuasa, maka Allah mewasiatkan dirimu; berbuat baiklah dengan mereka. Justeru, jangan engkau mengherdik mereka dengan perkataan mahupun perbuatan dibenci.

“Hai anakku! Andainya ada sebutir biji sawi terpendam di dalam batu, pasti ketahuan jua oleh Tuhanmu Yang Maha Melihat, Allah Amat Mengetahui segala sesuatu, zahir mahupun batin atau apa yang engkau sembunyikan di dalam dadamu.

“Dia memerhatikan dirimu dalam kepekatan malam, semasa engkau bersolat atau tidur lena di belakang tabir di dalam istana. Dirikan solat dan jangan engkau berasa ragu untuk melakukan perkara makruh, dan melempar jauh segala kejahatan dan kekejian.

“Dan bersabarlah di atas apa yang menimpa dirimu kerana yang demikian itu menuntut kepastian kukuh daripadamu dalam setiap kejadian dan urusan.

“Jangan engkau berjalan sombong serta takbur, Allah tidak meredai orang yang sombong dan takbur."

Alamat IP luput 2010

LONDON - Vint Cerf, salah seorang saintis perintis sistem komputer berkata, dunia Internet hari ini sudah tidak lagi memiliki kod unik yang mencukupi bagi membuka ruang komunikasi di antara komputer-komputer lain di seluruh dunia.

Katanya, apabila alamat protokol internet (IP) diluputkan, penyambungan Internet bagi IP berkenaan akan rosak dan sesetengah komputer lainnya tidak lagi mampu memasuki talian.

"Internet sudah jadi seperti nombor telefon dan apabila nombor baru sudah tiada, kamu tidak lagi akan memiliki pelanggan," kata Cerf yang mencadangkan agar sistem IP ditukar kepada satu sistem baru.

Semenjak Internet diasaskan 1977 dahulu, terdapat lebih 4.2 bilion alamat digunakan sebagai sistem IP versi empat (IPv4) yang mempunyai 32 siri nombor binari.

Namun, perkembangan teknologi jalur lebar di seluruh dunia hari ini menyebabkan sistem ini diramalkan luput pada 2010 kelak.

Manakala sistem terbaru yang digelar gelaran IPv6 (Protokol Internet versi enam) sudah pun digunakan di Jepun bagi menyambungkan ribuan pengesan gempa bumi menerusi sistem komputer yang bertindak menghantar penggera automatik kepada program televisyen dan menukarkan lampu trafik menjadi merah.
