Oil Crisis and Falling Dollar

(sourced from www.currencyfundgroup.com) In November, OPEC had a meeting and agreed to continue their output even as demand decreased. This inevitably meant oil prices dropping by 30% to 45% and closing on $50 per barrel. This is scary for Malaysia as we are a oil producing country and this means a big loss for our government revenue. And what does that mean for Malaysians? Cut backs on government spending and a bleak economy unless something...

Brunch Expedition to Red Bean Bag

I've been on a brunching binge lately and this past weekend i decided to check out the Red Bean Bag in Publika. It's been open for a while and follows the current trend of Australian Cafe style with breakfast menu and artisan coffee. Tried alot of them when they opened up but found most to be pricey and not worth it. I mean who pays RM25 for bacon, eggs and beans that they can make at home right? After a quick browse of their facebook and...

Upgrade: Scott Spark 29er + Shimano Deore XT = Trail Eating Love

As some may already know, I recently got back into biking and after a long hiatus I decided to put down some cash for a Scott Spark 29 Team mtb. (this bike) It comes with some pretty sweet accessories and the specs on it are not bad but lately the brakes were not really responsive and I was feeling that the bike was getting sluggish coming down the slopes. I've been trying to tune up the front and rear shocks but didn't really achieve what I desired....

Happy Birthday Malaysia

Happy birthday Malaysia. It's been a pretty crappy few months with so many tragedies. I really do wonder if this has pulled the country together or drawn us further apart.  I'm optimistic about the future generations and hope things can only get better from here. Gen X Gen Y and newer millennials all seem to have different views on how they fit in. Let's see where the next few years till 2020 takes us. This blog will be that witness and...
