Four Heavenly Kings

In the late 80's and 90's, Hong Kong tends to be the breeding ground for Canto-pop superstars. Of all the superstars, four of them made it to the Hall of Fame, thus they are called the Four Heavenly Kings for their singing prowess, popularity and to a certain extent..their good looks.

In no particular order, they are
Jacky Cheung (my favourite..that's he is on top..)
Andy Lau
Leon Lai
Aaron Kwok ( least favourite)

Fast forward to Malaysia in the 90's and in the millenium, Malaysia has its Heavenly Kings, not in singing, acting, good looks...eeeekkkk...*puke* well they are far from the entertainment sphere..they are interested in making quick bucks by doing business ...what business..sure untung wan..nothing to lose wan..wanna know???
We present to you ....drum roll..

Malaysia's very own Four Heavenly "AP" Kings ( maybe in some particular order..)

1. Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin SM Amin
2. Datuk Seri Syed Azman Syed Ibrahim
3. Datuk Mohd Haniff Abdul Aziz
4. Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad


Of the 67,158 APs (Approved Permits) given out last year, these four kings were given 80% of all APS. Each AP is selling at Rm20,000 to Rm30,000.

Just calculate how much these 'royalty' are earning..nett profit, sell APs and literally make tonnes of money..

Anything wrong with it?? Well..part of the policy , in line with creation of more B entrepreneurs.

Schools in Britain stopped using Failure to grade students, apparently the word is demeaning and demotivating..well, they may be right...so what word they used then??
Instead of failure, we have "deferred success"..i.e. success will come come eventually, it's just a matter of time.


Hmm.. I was thinking..what about:
1) defeat = deferred victory
2) sadness = deferred happiness
3) disappointment = deferred jubilation
4) illness = deferred health
5) false = deferred truth


hmmm...can you see the pattern?let me construct a formula negative adjective = deferred (inverse of negative adjective) A = deferred*B

A = negative adjectiveB = inverse of negative adjective or 1/A

hence, A/B = deferred, B/A*deferred = 1;

In conclusion, another variation of the formula B= 1/deferred * A;(deferred is a constant and can be used for all real numbers)

Example:happiness = 1/deferred sadnesssuccess = 1/deferred failure


This is an introduction to English-Vocabulary Maths, subject code EVM101..for first year students only and this is the prerequisite to do
i)Advanced English-Vocabulary Maths EVM 201, and
ii)Further English Grammar Maths EGM 210.


Get it?? Goh Seng is gonna be proud of me.

Comeback Mission

The last time I blog was on 22 June, nearly a month ago.

I saw Vic and Amber Chia at 1Utama this afternoon, and Vic wore make-up. Well, stars have to look good, don't they. Too bad, didn't take any photo with him.

Day in day out, we have 'bomb'arded with news of suicide bombers, graft, gambling debts, murders..well, what's wrong with the world today. maybe if we go back to the Stone Age, we might have less problems. Fishing, hunting, collecting fruits in the jungle would definitely caused less human casualties. No doubt about that.
