Malaysia is in the Top 10 of the World

Number 10, to be exact.
In the list of the largest consumer of alcohol.

Mana paling sedap?

Yes, Malaysia, a Muslim country, is the 10th largest alcohol consumer in the world.
News Source

Just stating the facts here, as of 2010, the Chinese make up 26% of the population of Malaysia, and the Indians 7%.
That leaves the Bumiputras with around 65% of the population. Malays make up most of the bumiputras, as we all know (but im not really sure of the exact figure in %).

Naturally, Malays are usually Muslims. Islam.
And muslims cannot drink alcohol. Haram.

34% of the whole population is under the age of 15.
Kids don't drink. Wait, they don't right?

So.. i wonder. How did we make it into the top 10?

It's impossible for less than half of the population of the country (which means minus the Malays and kids) to drink so much to make us number 10.
Then who did it?

Must be [insert race]

Hmm.. i wonder.

I'm so proud of Malaysia. Malaysia boleh!

Bruno Mars Live in KL Malaysia

Guess what?
Bruno Mars is coming to town this April!
After speculations and all the brouhaha, it is finally official.
(I can hear screams already)

It's on his website, so it must be true!
So, mark your calendars, 10th of April 2011 it is, at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC).

And I think it's part of an Asian tour or something.
There's Jakarta, Indonesia and Manila, Phillipines in there as well.

But still, it'subject to change, even the organizers are not confirmed yet, i think.
Whatever it is, i'll be keeping a close eye on this.

Malaysia Telcos Now Use 8-Digits with 011 Universal Prefix

Starting from December 15, all mobile operators will have new additional prefix with 8-digit mobile numbers.

It's kinda cool, huh?
Worry not, all existing numbers remain the same and unchanged.
Looks like all 7-digit numbers are finished.

Now you can start thinking of getting a nice number.
011-22334455,
011-23456789,
or even 011-44444444?

Berbuka Puasa with the Prime Minister

Last week, the Prime Minister of Malaysia sent me this.

Letter from the Prime Minister

Nah, that's a printed copy. He didn't exactly sent that to ME, like personally. haha
Me and a friend went there to represent our university (although the university sent other students under other organizations) for a Majlis Berbuka Puasa with the Prime Minister of Malaysia,
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

It was held at his official house, the Sri Perdana at Putrajaya.
Since the traffic jam sucked like hell, me and my friend arrived around 6.45pm, while the invitation letter says we must reach there by 6pm.
Yeah, typical VIP. lol

Our beloved Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak

It was a free-seating event, where around 700 other students from various universities from all over Malaysia are attending, and since we arrived exactly 3 minutes before the PM made his entrance, we swiftly sat down at the nearest, easiest-to-fit in table.

Err.. which is not the table for students.
But for the media. The people from media.
Journalists, cameramen, columnist, and also... a newscaster.
Yes, newscaster.

Me and my friend sat in the same table with Izwan Azir Saleh.
Who?
The guy from Buletin Utama at TV3.
He even made a live coverage during the Buletin Utama that night.
Did you watch it?

Familiar, yet?

Since changing tables is no longer an option, we decided to stay there and enjoy the ride.
hahaha

After the Prime Minister made his speech, and after berbuka with some kuih and stuff,
we went for the Maghrib prayers before going back to the table to eat the main course.

Come to think of it, it's quite yummy

Basically, the food is kinda okay. Nothing special.
I was expecting a roasted lamb actually.
*dissapointed*

During the event, as usual, i met with some old friends from other universities, made new contacts,
and also got to hangout with Michael Teoh, the co-founder of Youth Entrepreneur Malaysia, and some other youth leaders.

Me and Mike, and also with my ever-so-happy friend Clive

Oh and when i say youth leaders, not the JPP or the MP type of youth leaders.
These youth leaders are youths/students who are entrepreneurs and have their own businesses, founder of this, founder of that.
Cool.

Youth Leaders

It's kinda cool to be having berbuka puasa with the Prime Minister, although not directly or personally with him, but hey, it's still great.
The PM also took time to chat with the youth leaders to show his support for youths and entrepreneurship, which is really a great thing.


Sadly, i did not manage to get a photo with him.
But hey, at least i got to take a photo with another great man.

 That's Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing for you

After the tarawih prayers (yes!), there's a round of moreh.
Local fruits are served, and there's even a bubur durian with bread!

All in all, it was a great event, and it shows how the PM and the government supports us, the youths, to pursue entrepreneurship, as WE, the youths, are the leaders of tomorrow.

 Spot me!

Let's play spot & win!
