2011 KLCC 大众华文书展 - 1

这一次的2011 KLCC 大众华文书展，我终共去了三次，非常不一样的三次，和父母、女友、及亲戚。当然，不同的人，就有不同的相处。
27.08.2011和父母去，母亲基本上是看烹饪书籍；以前喜欢看武侠小说的父亲，却比较喜欢走一走。可能是双子座的性格，喜欢好奇的父亲想来看看城中城, 究竟是以怎样的方式来进行书展。最重要的是，希望主办当局可准备一个悦读书籍的地方，一来好让我们无需站着或坐在地上看书，二来老人家走到一半时可休息。那天，只有我母亲买烹饪书；而我就买了好多文具。
30.08.2011和女友去，女友啊。。是不是每个女人都是喜欢烹饪，来到书展的第一个任务：煮饭书。蛋糕、福建食谱、广东食谱、客家食谱、街边美食、点心、各国的美食。。应有尽有的食谱，让我看得眼花撩乱。女友也选了很久，才找到心意的书。。幸亏她没买小说，不然。。不过，她曾经读过心灵鸡汤，感动到流泪。那天，女友买了两本烹饪书；我就买了虎妈的战歌、刘轩的书、九把刀的“上课时不要看小说”以及美国再见。别忘记！我和女友都看到阿炳（赞美他，好像拍马屁，丑化他，好像得罪成千上万的粉丝！） ！
03.09.2011和亲戚去，当然少不了小孩的跟来。我当然没有和他们一起看，他们买各自的书；而我就去看喜欢的书籍，什么书？本地和中国的漫画、iPhone摄影书、不一样的烹饪、苹果创办人自传、货币战争、自费旅游、花踪颁奖、百科全书、散文、...(注:太多的书籍，我无法一一说出来）。 那天，我并没有买书，却知道新的停车场地点：水族馆的附近！（注：以后可以将车停在那边，以最低的费用来消费。哈哈！）

London Riot 2011

In August 2011, widespread rioting occurred in parts of England. The riots began in Tottenham, North London, following a peaceful protest sparked by the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan there by officers of the Metropolitan Police Service on 4 August 2011. The ensuing looting, arson, burglary, robbery and disorder spread across London and to other areas of England, with the worst disturbances mostly centred on a small number of major cities.

On 6 August 2011, about 200 people, including Duggan's relatives and local residents, marched in Tottenham. After receiving only limited information concerning Duggan's death, several in the crowd became violent and rioting broke out. In the following days, disturbances occurred in other areas of London, including Wood Green, Enfield Town, Ponders End, Walthamstow,Islington and Brixton. Vandalism, arson, looting and violent disorder also were reported in several boroughs of London, extending as far south as Croydon. At least 186 police officers were injured.On 8 August, rioting and looting occurred inBirmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham, Bristol, Medway and Leicester. More than 1,100 people have been arrested since the start of the disruption. A total of five civilians have been killed: a man was shot on 8 August, three men were run over by a car driven by another man on 10 August, and an elderly man beaten in Ealing on 8 August succumbed to his injuries on 11 August.

In response to the incidents, Prime Minister David Cameron, Home Secretary Theresa May, London Mayor Boris Johnson andOpposition Leader Ed Miliband cut short their holidays to return to London. Parliament was recalled on 11 August to debate the situation. By this time, disturbances and unrest had largely abated and thousands of residents across the country had started the clean-up process. Arrests and investigations are ongoing.

On 11 August 2011, the Association of British Insurers estimated that the riots caused more than £200 million worth of damage. - Wikipedia

2011年英国骚乱

2011年英国骚乱，是2011年8月6日在英国首都伦敦开始的一系列社会骚乱事件。骚乱的导火索是2011年8月4日在伦敦北部的托特纳姆（Tottenham），一名29岁的黑人男性平民马克·達根（Mark Duggan）被伦敦警察厅的警務人员枪杀。之后民众上街抗议警察暴行。当地人认为英国的经济不景，加上政府撙节支出，冲击托特纳姆等高失业率地区，才是引发社会不稳定的主要原因。

至8月9日，騷亂已擴散至伯明翰、利物浦、利茲、布里斯托等英格蘭地區的大城市。英国政府在相关动乱地区部署了大量镇暴警察以图稳定局势，并抓捕了大批疑犯。媒体称，参与骚乱者通过黑莓手机及「推特」（Twitter）等网络工具相互联系，使得英国政府难以控制势态发展。同时有媒体质疑，如果英国政府的对应能力不足，是否会动摇2012年伦敦奥运会期间的安保信心。- Wikipedia

I pressed ING website last nite (actually more than N time):

I searched ING easy for retirement, it show like this:
Present:-
Average Link-house : RM 180,000
Glass of Teh Tarik: RM 1.30

Average Link-house : RM 454,851
Glass of Teh Tarik: RM 2.49
Visit to clinic: RM 63
Annual College Fee: RM 23,575 (more private or government)

When I read this, I was so shocked! My goodness, is this the amount that I have to pay to my children & family expences?

(The following is a demo example)

Name: A

Current Saving per month: RM 500 (included investment, piggy bank and so on except EPF)
Current EPF: RM18,000
Investment Style: Conservative (Have 3 style: Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive)
Graph shown: You will have net saving RM 557,035 on 50 years old. But will finish around 10 years in future.
Additional Money you required until 85 years old: RM 1,254,531 (Around RM 1.2 million)

Are we preparing the additional money for future retirement now?

The heat - betting (18)

• Sini tak ada!
• Tak Boleh!
• Pergi Masjid Untuk Buat MOGOK! ...... (SELALU BUAT PADA HARI JUMAAT)

Our Famous MB: No Door For Ascot (You May Read Newspaper). Just Want to ask you, MB, if you want to ban the Ascot, why not together with the BEER, TOTO.... ?

MB said: Toto & beer, we still may accept, small small may play-play lah, once a while is ok loh. That's mean, anyone can gamble & drink sometimes lah.. But Ascot ah, boleh pecah satu keluarga. Tak Boleh, Tak Boleh, Tak Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllleh!!!

For author, speechless....
