Logo designing

Many people do not know how much effort goes into designing company and product logos. The FedEx logo is probably one of the most recognizable logos and it’s simplicity is probably one of the key things about it. You can read more here.

In Bolehland…

In Bolehland, prices go up and never come down. Your wages however stay the same. With the recent hike in fuel prices, I made an average calculation for myself. The past four months, I’ve been averaging 2200km monthly. That translates roughly to about RM200 in diesel fuel. With the 0.20 increase, I’ll end up forking out about RM240. On an annual basis, we talking about almost RM500 more per year! It’s time they cut the exorbitant diesel road tax.

Also, only in Bolehland do they compare prices after currency conversions. So what if the tiny-islanders pay RM3.60/liter and we pay RM1.45? We don’t earn their currency and they don’t pay 3.60 of their equivalent currency for a liter of fuel either!

Toilet train your pet

Saw this article on Reuters this morning. I wonder if it is possibly to train other pets as well. Imagine wanting to go and little kitty is doing it first — wait your turn 😀

Haze, traffic and then some

Yesterday morning, being Friday, I was much more alert and awake when going to work. Thinking that since I woke up rather early, I could arrive early (and subsequently leave earlier). Unfortunately a four-car pileup on the NKVE put an early end to those plans! A waste of twenty minutes to travel four kilometers!

8:20am crawl!

The other thing is that is bloody hazy out there. Probably due to the recent heatwave but I think the bush and peat fires also have something to do with it! Surprisingly it’s smokier at Putrajaya and Cyberjaya compared to downtown KL.

Poor visibility

p.s. pardon the photo quality – I’m using my Nokia 6230!
