<title><![CDATA[lionel: No Interest Rate for FD]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><br /><br />Yeah, you heard me right.</p><p>The U.S. Treasury Yield is almost the same as our local&#39;s Fix Deposite.</p><p><br /><img src="upload_files/7/6/6492/sc.png" border="0" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just look at the steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep drop of the interest rate.<br /><br />A year ago, retirees in the states with $1M would be able to live comfortably with an annual income of 5%, which equates to around $50k per annum. That&#39;s a $4166 monthly salary, which I would say, is pretty cool.<br /><br />And now, after only a single year, with $1M in treasury bills, you&#39;ll only get a $1500 <strong>YEARLY </strong>income with the current 0.15% return. That&#39;s even lesser than what you got for a single month a year ago.<br /><br /><br />That&#39;s sucking donkey balls, sitting duck on that useless $1M.<br /><br />And to make the calculation more interesting, for those old folks who would like to retire on the same kinda lifestyle a year ago, getting $4166/month, you would have to increase your capital of $1M to $33M in order to generate that monthly salary that you desired, with the current 0.15% interest rate.<br /><br />How&#39;s that sound?<br />Does that indirectly equate to a 33-fold inflation rate?<br /><br />Hmmm ............</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[lionel: Pole Dancing]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><br />Pole dancing has been on the hype lately in the western countries. It&#39;s not the case in Taiwan though, as this &#39;sports&#39; has been there for quite some time.<br /><br />The westerners even have official and professional classes that teaches people on this subject. It really brings this sports to a higher level, which is actually a good thing, because all these while, pole dancing has been regarded as a <em>low-level-night-club-stripper-dancer</em> stuff.<br /><br />Anyway, the reason I suddenly wrote about this is because i happened to came across <a href="http://highprobability.blogspot.com/2008/09/wannabe-strippers.html">this post</a>, which is darn funny :p<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_cHYeTpsQJ7g/SE9jYZbCXdI/AAAAAAAACQ4/wkKR-7t-K2Q/s400/Pole-dancing-how-to.jpg" border="5" /><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>HAHAHAHAHA . Enjoy.&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[lionel: HDR with Photomatix]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><br /><br />My first &quot;<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold">WOW</span>&quot; impression on HDR (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic">High Dynamic Range</span>) photos came from the introduction of a friend to me on this site. <br />(http://lionel.textmalaysia.com/a-heaven-of-hdr-photos.html)<br /><br /><br />I finally got the software (which is PhotoMatix) and had a chance to give it a simple try. It was just a 5 minutes trial, and to be honest, the result of the software looks pretty cool.<br /><br /></p><p>Anyway, still have to do more research and trial and error on it. :)<br /><br /><br />&nbsp;<br />Here&#39;s the original 2 photos which I&#39;ve took from Phuket.......<br /><br /><img src="upload_files/7/6/6476/DSC_2959.JPG" border="3" /><br /><br /><img src="upload_files/7/6/6476/DSC_2958.JPG" border="3" /><br /><br /><br />The above one is the under-exposed, while the below pix is the over-exposed.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And now, here&#39;s the combined HDR pix.<br /><br /><img src="upload_files/7/6/6476/DSC_2958_9_tonemapped.jpg" border="3" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />What do you guys think?<br /><br />1. Cool?<br />2. Very Cool?<br />3. Noob?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[lionel: My Latest Toy: SB600 + Lambency Diffuser]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<br /><br />That&#39;s right.&nbsp;<br />Just bought a new SB600 Flash unit and a Lambency Diffuser.<br /><br /><br /><img src="upload_files/7/6/6464/sb600xu2.jpg" border="5" /><br /><br /><br />Very very nice. I like it very much. Thanks a lot for <a href="http://bulbfishion.textmalaysia.com">ikan </a>for all the trouble in getting me those units ^_^ That&#39;s what <strike>friends </strike>hendrix are for :p<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I just got the time to test the units out tonight. Bought 4 rechargable SONY 2700mA batteries, total RM110. Damn expensive. Please don&#39;t ever go to the camera shop at the ground floor of Gurney Plaza anymore. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="upload_files/7/6/6464/DSC_5604.JPG" border="5" /><br /><br />Previous, here&#39;s what it looks like when using the built-in flash on my Nikon D40.<br />Notice the huge black spot on the middle bottom of the pix? That&#39;s what happens when your &#39;<em>equipment</em>&#39; is too LONG/LARGE.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="upload_files/7/6/6464/DSC_5634.JPG" border="5" /><br /><br />This was the <em>virgin </em>shot I took with my <em>virgin </em>flash, attached with the <strike>shower head</strike> lambency diffuser attachment. Flash unit pointed directly at the subject.<br />I like it very much. <br />With the diffuser, the lighting seen here is very pleasant to the eye. Not very harsh and hard. That&#39;s the natural effect that I&#39;m looking for. But still, the shadow behind is a bit of an eyesore. And thus, the 2nd test shot ........<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="upload_files/7/6/6464/DSC_5636.JPG" border="5" /><br /><br />With the flash unit pointing towards the ceiling, the flash light bounced off the ceiling, illuminating the upper part of the shadow, thus, making the shadow less apparent. Love it :) Love my new toy very much :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[lionel: Air Asia on Air]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><br /><br />It&#39;s not very common to have some local companies appearing on the internation scene of the business arena, Air Asia manage to acheive that recently.<br /><br /><a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080907/malaysia_airasia.html">http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080907/malaysia_airasia.html</a></p><p><img src="http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/fi/18/14/31.jpg" border="0" title="undefined" width="200" height="135" onmouseover="undefined" onmouseout="undefined" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No doubt, I agree, AirAsia is indeed a very strong company.<br />This horse has been led by a very cool and strong jockey, Tony Fernandes.<br /><br />But, if I read that correctly from the above news, it says that:-<br />- Air Asia is having a $1Bil &nbsp;cash sitting in it&#39;s account<br />- It&#39;s quarterly earnings for the recent quarter ~~ $10Mil (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic">which equates to around $50Mil a year?</span>)&nbsp;<br />- It has an outstanding debt of $5.4Bil currently.<br /><br />A $5.4Bil debt. Even if they were to use their current cash to reduce it to $4.4Bil, with their current earning powers of $50Mil a year, that would take them around 88 FREAKING years to settle that chunk of load.<br /><br />And the best this that, they are currently taking aggresive steps in expending agressively.&nbsp;<br /><br />Hmmm ..... something to pinder.<br /><br /><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
