Student's Credit Card Dilemma

I read a column in the Bizweek section of the Star newspaper this morning and came across the issue on pre-paid credit cards. Apparently, there are so many hidden charges that most of the consumers unaware of. That includes activation charges that can go up to RM25.00, inactive card charges (this one is teribbly wrong) and some other silly excuses for the bank to charge you. Therefore i would suggest for students to opt for Student's Credit Card facilities that are offered by some of the popular banks in town. Nevertheless, parents are still required to endorse the application. Why do i write about credit cards? Because i was thinking that i probably can write on how to manage your credit card debt in the coming future. I surely have many experience on this one. .n.g.

Student Car Insurance Anyone?

I never thought that I would be writing this out. But hey, i am a concerned father. For most countries in the US and Europe, they have special insurance for students under 25 years old. Their premium is higher but the coverage is something you have to look into it. I am no insurance agent so i have no idea if this has been implemented in Malaysia. What i do know, in the UK the premium for anyone below 25 are higher because of the risk the posses. Again, i have no idea why i am writing about insurance today. This is out of the blue. Sleep anyone? *evil dooze* p/s: A Project Manager shouldn't be writting this kind of article. .n.g.

The Radar Antenna

I have nothing fancy to write today. Therefore, instead i am writing something that will make most of you fall asleep. The Purpose of the radar is to act as a transducer between free-space propagation and guided-wave (transmission-line) propagation. The function of the antenna during transmission is to concentrate to the radiated energy into a shaped beam which points in the desired direction in space. On reception the antenna collects the energy contained in the echo signal and delivers in to the receiver. Thus the radar antenna is called upon to fulfill reciprocal but related roles. Well, did i manage to make you sleepy? Now go to sleep!! .n.g.

It Is OK to Forget!

There are reasons on why human must forget. The brain is designed to accept certain input and input overflow can cause a person to become insane, lost, metally ill etc. Have you ever watched a movie called Rain Man, where Dustin Hoffman could memorize the whole Yellow Pages but can barely manage himself? That is what happened when there are too much input but no output. Our brain can only accept a certain amount of information at one go. To be able to add more input, we must erase some and hence we tend to forget. So be glad when you are forgetting of something. As we humans are referred as "an-nas" in the holy Quran, which means "the forgetful ones". That's why you can see certain "ayat" are being repeated in the same "surah". This is to show how weak and forgetful we are! Nevertheless, be thankful! p/s: Looks like i am forgetting something down there .. hehe .n.g.

Chasing Meteor Shower

I might be lucky tonite. All depending on how clear is the sky. I don't have a decent camera with me to capture the moment, especially when low light is concerned. I have so many things in my wish list .. or "to buy" list. A DSLR is one of it. Who wants to wish upon stars or meteor showers? .n.g.
