Don't Just "Swamp" Here, "Swamp" There!

Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRB) peak periods, which are the 4 or 5 days prior to the submission deadline 30th April 2005, we will see them working until 10pm even on Saturday. As this is concerned, peak periods for taxation firms as well as audit will see its employees staying in the office until the average time of 10pm-11pm everyday for 3 months, consecutively. In these dying days of the 3 months rushing up workpapers for the clients and the IRB, some of the accounting firms employees suffered various negative effects. Eyes blurred because of high concentration of working papers and computers, anxiety, occasional nausea, fever, migranes because of thinking too much, occasional moodswings, very demotivated, sleepless nights (those who worried too much), nightmares and something that I felt weird about - figure changes. Although the hazards may sound severe, but it's normal in accounting firms and great seniors should have already over it.

There are some of them who had no time for meals, therefore worsened their diets during peak periods, they lost weight - that's logical. However, some of them grew fatter! It was not that they have better time eating during work, or have had constant munchies during work, they did nothing extraordinary. Have you ever heard of people who is working hard brings prosper? How did they do that? ....Mesmerized.

Looking into current issue of submission of individual tax returns at IRB offices, news reported there were huge numbers of people "swamping the IRB offices" trying to submit their respective tax returns as early as 3 days before the due date.


Picture on Wednesday 28 Apr 2005 at an IRB office in Kelana Jaya, taken from The Star newspaper


IRB main submission centre/office at Pandan Indah, taken on Thursday 28 Apr 2005 by me

If you are submitting your tax returns, please "swamp" to IRB office at Pandan Indah 4th floor so that you can enjoy a peaceful environment there. Look at the picture - the woman with the IRB jacket and brown spotted baju kurung is supposed to guide people on directions, she was taking her time wandering around at the premise, I believed she was counting floor tiles. I spotted couple other staff counting floor tiles too but not captured in the picture. It seemed like it was a "supply over demand" there.

Funny but true, Malaysians are united. Anywhere's a hot place to be, it will be "swamped" by huge crowds all over the place. THAT'S THE SPIRIT! If you are the person that is scared to be alone, Malaysia is the right choice of country for you to live. Our culture is work hard to play hard - I think we are ...... swamps of intelligent bees!

Where is Saddam Hussein?

In his final word, the American government's own CIA top weapons inspector in Iraq said on 25 April 2005 that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction has "gone as far as feasible" and has found nothing, closing an 18 month investigation into the purported programs of Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the 2003 invasion. Bush administration's senior weapons inspector also said in a report that it was "unlikely" that Saddam Hussein's forces moved weapons to Syria - an important report that has proven the act of abuse of human rights towards Saddam Hussein by the Bush administration. However after these reports have been published widespread in the world, nothing has yet to be done. It is so obvious that someone has definately committed a war crime, that someone has to face its consequences. Everyone already knew this, and everyone is mouth-shut =o#

The now pitiful beggar-like Saddam Hussein is currently in custody with several of his top henchmen at a U.S.-guarded detention facility near Baghdad's international airport. He was in good health and high spirits , the chief of his legal team reported on 27th April 2005, after a defense lawyer met with the deposed Iraqi dictator for six hours.



Saddam Hussein - July 2004

Though the whole world would know you as a criminal, cruel dictator, environment polluting machine, or a satan's lover - It's still your birthday today! Happy 68th Birthday Saddam! Glad to hear that your birthday is one day after Santa Claus'.

The Best Selling Furniture Company

Have you visited Ikea lately? Nothing much significant changes since months ago, they have just added some new collection of furnitures in their store. New beds, new sofas, new lighting, new toys, you name it.

Taking camera into Ikea is not allowed, but not illegal - the heaviest punishment you might get is just to get lost from the Ikea premise that's all. I got my camera with me and so I took the opportunity to take some of the nice things they have added into their store recently. They should thank me for advertising their products here.

I did not get to take a lot of clear pictures, but these are the excellent ones that is eligible to be posted - Crystal balls on top of a little light bulb. When you have one or two in your bedroom, switch off the lights and you can imagine you're in the galaxy by looking at it.


Assorted colours

It sucked when you put it under the flourescent lights on. Like this:


4 in a row - i'd suggest choose one colour will do

Other lighting attractions:

The centre one is a cute ghost miniature

There were also F.A.Qs (Frequently Asked Questions) in the carpark that goes in advertising columns. Ever wondered:

1. Why Ikea is keeping their things (their designs) flat? - "Ikea furniture is flat-packed. This means it's cheaper for us (Ikea) to store and transport."

2. Why Ikea is giving the customers the hassle to assemble the furnitures on their own? - "Even though it's tricky sometimes, it means not paying someone in a factory to do it for you."

On This Day Celebrated By The Santa

Last year's Christmas, Santa and her beautiful PA stopped by at our annual dinner. We had a tete-e-tete in front of the toilet before they made a surprise appearance to the main entrance. I was a surprised and honoured that he would actually talked to me, and that time inadvertently I recognized his voice. From there, we made a great friendship.

For those who are concerned about Santa, he was recently admitted to hospital for a few days because of hearing problem. He's ok now but still overloaded with piles of work to do in his full time job. Delivering presents and gifts is only his occasional part time task.


The Santa having fun. Beside him is the Sultan of Horwath Yang Berbahagia Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Raja Zaimi bin Muhammad Iskandar Dzulkarnain (in short: The Honorable Sir Mohammad Zaimi )

So on his birthday, which falls today, I reveal his true identity to the world. For those who know this guy, also the Santa, wish him well and a happy happy birthday, as how he gave us the joyous moments every year, would it be on Christmas or ordinary days!


Santa having wine joy!

Happy Birthday to Lee Chuan Maw!

Nokia 6260 : Product Review

As a Malaysian, getting updated of the current mobile technologies always interests us, especially in shopping complexes. Whether it is a general knowledge, or it can be you are currently shopping for a mobile, getting to know some of the latest technologies in mobile phones won't stay you out of the current world's flow.

Similar to Nokia 7650, the Nokia 6260 is the latest in a long line of Symbian series 60 phones. Nokia 6260 has the lid not only flips, but with a quick twist, it swivels round and folds back on itself. This is nothing new in PDAs and Laptops, Sony have been doing it on high end Clie's for years, but it’s the first time I have seen it on a phone. You can also stop the swivel halfway, and with the camera lens being on the side, the 6260 can be used like one of those mini video cameras with a flip out screen.


6260 - not too long, not too short


Tilted 75% - good with a keyboard in front of it


Camcorder mode


Flipped back

Under the battery cover on the back we find another first for Nokia, the reduced size memory card is hot swap-able, no more removing the battery to change cards. The phone is supplied with a 32mb memory card, and although Nokia only specify up to 128mb cards can be used, it would swallow a 512mb card and worked perfectly. Everything can be installed to a card, Ring tones, MP3 files, Video files, Images and Applications, so the internal memory can really be left well alone. The SIM card slides neatly under the memory card, but you do have to remove the battery to change this.

Camera functions are still the same as before. Again there is no exposure compensation available, so users can't tune too bright or dark pictures. The 6260 model features 2x digital zoom only, a possibility to choose small pictures format to a directory and it allows you to take pictures in night mode. Photos can be saved either in the internal memory or on the memory card. It's possible to select three quality levels; the highest level has produces extremely big files (low compression).

With 2x digital zoom. Now you can differentiate what is optical zoom, what is digital zoom in cameras

Nokia 6260 is a standard Series 60 mobile phone, the same as the 7610 model, and with some small exceptions is identical to Nokia 6600. But phones often differ from each other by sound quality during telephony. Nokia 6260 is not going to get good marks in this subject, because it can be heard quite strong noise of higher frequencies in the earphone. It's worse than Nokia 7610 which can be compared it straight to. Call volume is sufficient but loud handsfree is also well heard.

Nokia can play polyphonic melodies with 48 voices, but it's more impressive to use an MP3 file as a ringtone.

One of the key innovations comparing to the previous models is the choice of music functions. Nokia 6260 features an integrated stereophonic radio and headphones are delivered straight in the package. The headphones must be connected also if you listen to the radio over a loudspeaker because they work also as an antenna. It seems that the Pop-port connector is not well designed because it's not holding the plug really steady and sometimes the sound comes from the one earphone only. You can tune stations in range from 87,5 to 108,0 MHz, and you can save your favorite frequencies; tuning can be set to manual or automatic and a function for saving all accessible stations is also available.

I am sure you want to know more about the MP3 playback. The first point is that both earphones play and the phone doesn't take those as an unsupported accessory. That wasn't possible with previous Nokia 7610 and 6670 models. Neither the integrated RealPlayer nor the Ultra MP3 program was able to play MP3 files in stereo - just mono. It's a pity, but the important thing is that in case of Ultra MP3 the sound quality is good enough. So, Nokia 6260 isn't still a full music phone, but the radio is useful and we can rate the MP3 Player as usable.

As common in today's mobile technology, users can write SMS, MMS, emails. Instant messaging and T9 dictionary are also available. It's interesting that the email client supports some of the office formats. Word documents and PowerPoint presentations can be open straight thanks to the new QuickWord and QuickPoint applications. Also you can read PDF files, but the PDF+ application is just a trial version in the phone - after the third run you have to buy and register it. Attachment in ZIP format can be done by installing a ProfiExplorer that handles ZIP files.


Also available in sleek black

In the mobile's memory, on the card and even on the delivered CD there is not an Opera Internet browser which Nokia added to its smartphones lately. The internal WAP browser can handle web pages but it can't reach the quality of Opera or NetFront, which would appear with next Nokia phones, such as the Nokia 6670.

It's a very good phone - maybe the best in the class. Against other models it misses only a megapixel camera, on the other hand it features an integrated radio and it can be used as an MP3 player, partially. Nokia 6260 is a very good mobile phone for users, who are interested in functions and design as well, but it comes at a price.

What If Your Son Or Best Friend Smokes Marijuana?

Terrified, of course. Everyone was told marijuana (cannabis sativa) is a killer drug since decades ago. For me, it was since I'm born to this world. In fact, all forms of cannabis are mind-altering (psychoactive) drugs; they all contain at least 3% of THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), the main active chemical in marijuana that makes the user high. They also contain more than 400 other chemicals, in which made seemingly so "dangerous".

There are over 200 slang terms for marijuana including "pot," "herb," "weed," "boom," "Mary Jane," "gangster," and "chronic," just to name a few.

"But I do not smoke marijuana."

Within a few minutes of inhaling marijuana smoke, the user will likely feel a dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, some loss of coordination and slower reaction time. Blood vessels in the eye expand, so the user's eyes look red. For some people, marijuana raises blood pressure slightly and can double the normal heart rate, but users do not always know when that happens.

As the immediate effects fade, usually after 2 to 3 hours, the user may become sleepy.

How killer is the killer drug?

Some users, especially someone new to the drug or in a strange setting, may suffer acute anxiety and have paranoid thoughts. In rare cases, a user who has taken a very high dose of the drug can have severe psychotic symptoms and need emergency medical treatment.

Marijuana hinders the user's short-term memory and he or she may have trouble handling complex tasks. Under the influence of marijuana, students may find it hard to study and learn. However, compared to cocaine, it does not cause addiction! Constant consumption by some users may be caused by the crave for the high and kicks of THC.

Can it do good?

Despite the hazards and concerns raised by authorities decades ago, recent studies have began to show its medical usages to cure human dread diseases. If the drug is completely useless, places like Nimbin (Australia) and Amsterdam (Holland) would not have legalized the drug.

THC, manufactured into a pill that is taken by mouth, not smoked, can be used for treating the nausea and vomiting that go along with certain cancer treatments and is available by prescription in the United States. Another chemical related to THC (nabilone) has also been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating cancer patients who suffer nausea. The oral THC is also used to help AIDS patients eat more to keep up their weight by developing a crave symptom called munchies that would raise the user's appetite and craving for food and beverages, especially snacks.

Recent scientific studies published by AFP and AP shown that THC can ease inflammation and slow the progression of coronary artery disease in mice, and possibly humans. Atherosclerosis is a common disorder of the arteries. Fatty materials build up and eventually block the arteries and interfere with blood flow.

Daily low doses of the ingredient, THC, prevented atherosclerosis, a primary cause of heart disease and stroke in western countries, without producing the associated high.

"We have proven that very low doses of cannabis therapy will have an anti-inflammatory effect that will slow the progression of atherosclerosis in mice," said Dr Francois Mach, of Geneva University Hospital in Switzerland.

In a commentary on the research in Nature magazine, Michael Roth, of the University of California in Los Angeles, described the findings as striking.

Kamasutra 31 Secret Skills Unveiled! =oP~

Warning: Content below is classified obscene. Children below 16 is prohibited to continue reading. If you are below 16, please click here.

Often my posts are mostly computers, politics, cars and recent issues. Since I heard about some people who has hardly been satisfied by her partner in bed, I hope these will help. They are not created by myself nor my partner, but they are recommendations from the western sexperts. These are totally non-violent, so read it, imagine the scene and try these at home! =o)

The torrid triangle

How it's done: At first glance, it looks like standard missionary: he's on top, you're on bottom. Only this position employs the Cosmo superlift twist: he rises up on all fours, and you raise your pelvis to meet his penis. As he stays stationary, start moving your bottom up and down.

Why you'll love it: Although you're on the bottom, you can call the shots here. By lifting your pelvis, you can control the speed and timing of every thrust. Plus, you can also decide the depth and can tease him by thrusting only halfway onto him. This will centralise all sensations on the supersensitive tip of his penis.

Romp with a view

How it's done: Lie on your side, one arm propping up your head or bent under your body for support. Keep one leg stretched out along the floor and extend the other straight up in the air perpendicular to your body. Your partner then straddles your grounded leg and enters you, holding your other leg up or letting it rest against his shoulder for leverage, whichever suits his style.

Why you'll love it: Unlike most sex positions, this gives you a great view of the action (a major turn-on). And your partner can penetrate you in up-and-down motions instead of regular back-and-forth thrusting. The different strokes will bring on ultrasensual new sensations.

The head over heels

How it's done: Kneel with your arms crossed in front of you on the ground (cushioned by a pillow) and your behind in the air. Rest your head on your crossed arms (and brace your head on the floor if necessary). Have your partner stand behind you and lift your legs up by the ankles until your body is almost perpendicular to the floor. Then he should enter your vagina from the rear.

Why you'll love it: If you like deep impact, you'll go head over heels for The Head Over Heels. And the new angle might excite some hot spots you never knew you had.

The mermaid

How it's done: Lie downon the edge of a bed, desk or countertop. Extend your legs straight up, keeping them close together. You can put your hands under your butt to elevate your pelvis, use them to hold onto the counter or desk for leverage, or keep them free. Your partner then enters you while standing up (or if the bed or desk is low, kneeling on the floor). He can grip your feet for leverage, which will give him the extra stability he needs to thrust more deeply.

Why you'll love it: Keeping your legs together means he seems bigger inside of you, so you're creating lots of feel-good friction and an incredibly tight fit. And you can easily use your hands for clitoral stimulation to drive yourself wild while he’s thrusting away.

The lap dance

How it's done: Have your partner lean back on a sturdy, high-backed chair with pillows behind him. First straddle his erect penis with your hands on his knees, Then, one leg at a time, lift your ankles and hands to support your weight and moving your behind back and forth.

Why you'll love it: This position is really intimate. Your partner will be fantasising about the view for weeks to come!

The circle game

How it's done: Up the intimacy in any sexual encounter by incorporating this pose for at least a minute or two. With your partner inside of you, sit facing one another and wrap your legs around each other's backs. Grasp each other's elbows and then lean back against the other person's weight. See if you can tilt your head far enough back to rest it on the floor. Try to remain still and concentrate on your bodies completely connecting.

Why you'll love it: Try visualising your sexual energies flowing up from your pelvic regions and through the circle your bodies form.

The face-to-face fandango

How it's done: Lie on the floor face-up, legs bent under your thighs, arms raised over your head. Your partner lies on top of you face-to-face, his legs straight, hands gripping your shoulders or sides. He can penetrate you with wide, circular motions or deep, up-and-down thrusting.

Why you'll love it: With your legs bent under and your arms straight over your head, your back will naturally arch a bit, letting your partner penetrate you deeply. But unlike other deep-access positions, you can look at each other, kiss, and he can play with your breasts with his hands or tongue, tripling your pleasure.

The passion python

How it's done: Your partner lies flat on his back; you straddle him and lower yourself onto his penis. Then slowly stretch out so you're lying straight on top of him, aligned limb to limb. Holding his hands, extend your arms out to your sides and lift your torso like a snake ready to strike. He keeps his feet flexed do you can push against them with your toes for leverage.

Why you'll love it: With his hands squeezing yours, your breasts pressed to his chest, and your thighs starting a fire against his, you're both sexually skin-chronised. Plus, the back-and-forth friction created when you push with your feet means you get consummate clitoral contact as you bump against his pubic bone.

Master the swivel

The swivel is a passion position for bold girls who crave constant sensual stimulation and don’t like to stay still in bed!

Do-it directions: Assume the girl-on-top position, facing him as he lies on his back, your palms at his sides for balance. While rhythmically squeezing his penis, lift your leg over his body and swivel around, never letting him slip out of you. Squeeze three to five times, keeping close to the base of his penis. Then swivel again so you're facing his feet. Move in small circles rather than bouncing up and down. Swivel around until you're back in your original position. How many swivels can you do?

Passion payoff: The corkscrew-like swivelling motion will bring your partner to the brink. Give him time to catch his breath when you pause to rotate again. It'll also grant him a racy revolving view of your body. Plus, when you're on top, his penis rubs the sensitive front wall of your vagina, grazing your G-spot for an extra-intense orgasm.

Standing tiger, crouching dragon

Guys love the unabashedly primal nature of doggy-style sex. So guarenteed he'll go nuts for this variation.

Do-it directions: Get things started by posing on all fours with your knees and bottom at the edge of the bed while he stands behind you, his feet hip-width apart. The trick, says sexpert Tracey Cox, is to keep your knees as close together as possible while he spreads his legs on either side of yours.

Passion pay-off: You're narrowing your vaginal canal causing it to feel snugger around his penis as he thrusts. And since his hands are on your hips, he gets to control the angle and pace of thrusting. Meanwhile, you can focus on your own climax. You can easily reach your clitoris with one hand, and with his penis angled to hit the front wall of your tightened vagina, you're in a perfect position for G-spot stimulation. It's a win-win situation!

The time bomb

This teasing twist on simple sit-down sex will extend his endurance for longer. Find a low chair. As he sits down, his legs relaxed, face him and straddle him with your feet on the floor, slowly lowering yourself on to his erection. You now have leverage to move up and down his shaft.

Do-it directions: Start by letting just the tip of his penis enter you, then lower yourself little by little until you're allowing him full entry by bearing all the way down on his lap. "Because you’re in the driver's seat, you can slow down when he’s getting close, guaranteeing you both a nice, long ride," notes sexpert Tracey Cox.

Passion pay-off: This is also a highly affectionate upper-body position, which means lots of kissing, hugging and caressing. Plus, his hands are free to stimulate your clitoris, so when he's on the edge, simply slow your movements and let his fingers work their magic. This technique keeps him in sync with you, so you may get to experience that often elusive moment: the simultaneous orgasm!

The move with a view

You've witnessed his mischievous grin when you peel off your clothes in front of him. So his jaw is guaranteed to drop to the floor when you couple that kind of graphic view with intense sex.

Do-it directions: Choose a sturdy, flat surface (like a kitchen bench or table) that hits him at hip level. Then do a striptease for him and hop on to the surface, placing your butt at the edge. While he stands in front of you, slowly lie back to give him a very special show. Prop yourself up on your elbows, spread your legs, and lift them so he can hold your calves or ankles. This gives him an amazing view - showing off your face, breasts, tummy and genitals. "He'll be instantly aroused by seeing your naked body," says clinical sexologist Dr Patti Britton. "Plus, he gets to watch himself enter you and then thrust in and out."

Passion payoff: In this position, you can see all the action and his delighted face as he admires you from head to toe. Raise the visual (and sensual) stakes by withdrawing his penis from you, and running it up and down your inner labia (lingering at your clitoris) before you allow him to enter you again. The lie back so you hands are free to roam your own body - he'll go crazy when he sees you stroking yourself.

Rub-a-love-love

Every man craves serious heat. And the best way to warm him up down there is with this friction-creating move.

Do-it directions: Choose an immovable surface like a strong bedhead or the side of the bath, if you have a spacious bathroom. Lie on your back on the bed or floor (depending on which surface you choose). Raise your arms overhead so your palms rest flat on the surface with your head several centimetres from either the bath or bedhead (it’s as if you're holding something up). Once he enters you missionary-style, bring your legs together as much as possible. With your legs pressed together, his penis rubs against your inner thighs and labia each time he thrusts.

Passion pay-off: Since you're holding yourself against that hard surface rather than moving with him, you create even more friction. "The immobility, combined with your closed thighs, makes for deeper penetration," notes clinical sexologist Dr Patti Britton. "But the hottest thing is the illusion of resistance, which heightens his arousal during sex." For you, closing your thighs will stimulate your clitoris, resulting in an intense orgasm.

Give up carnal control

Putting your guy in charge of all the dirty details means you can completely surrender to sexual pleasure.Do-it-directions:Straddle your lover while he's lying on his back, and playfully stretch his arms over his head and put your hands around his wrists so you're pretend-pinning him to the bed. Smile and say, "This is what I'd like you to do to me." He can hold your wrists, or suggest that he secure your hands loosely to the bedhead with a silk scarf. Then lie back and let him ravish you!

Passion pay-off:Giving up control in the sack allows you to focus solely on your own gratification. So while your eager-to-please guy gets to work, you're able to relax and relish the amped-up sensations of his every kiss, touch, and lick. With your hands secured, you can't cover up a body part you're shy about, and you can't hold back when sensations become overwhelming. And being "helpless" allows you to concentrate on how good your body feels, so orgasms are easier to come by.

Feel super-sexy in your skin

Electrify your erogenous zones and boost your in-the-buff body confidence by performing a post-shower towel tease.

Do-it-directions:While the bathroom's still steamy, call your lover in - say you want to discuss plans for that night. Begin to dry off, rubbing the towel across your breasts, back and butt so you reveal one body part while concealing another. Watch yourself play peek-a-booty in the mirror, keeping an eye on your guy's gaze. Then drop the towel and ask him to soothe your skin with baby oil.

Passion pay-off:You'll awaken nerve endings head to toe, making you feel more sensual. Plus, using the towel as a prop means you can ease into being bare in front of him. "Most couples don't take the time to get comfortable with each other when they're naked unless the lights are off," says sexpert Lou Paget. "Here, you can play exhibitionist and explore your sensual side, prepping yourself for a long, lusty night." By watching him ogle you in the mirror, you'll see what he sees: a babe he can't resist!

The passion propeller

Do-it-directions:Your guy lies on top of you, entering you in traditional missionary style but then - oh my goodness! - he starts doing a 360 degree spin, all the while keeping his penis deep inside of you. As he's rotating and thrusting, help guide him around your body like a propeller would spin around the top of a helicopter. Make sure to lift his legs when they swing around over your head.

Passion pay-off:Once you make the 360-degree mind-blowing journey, you and your guy will feel like sexual dynamos and may even keep on spinning for rounds two, three, and four. Another plus of the passion propeller: as he's doing an around-your-world revolution, you get to totally check out his body and barely have to move to reap big rewards - your propeller guy is doing all the work!

The magic mountain

Do-it-directions:Arrange a big pile of pillows on the floor and fall into it face first, following its mountain shape so your back naturally arches. Your man lies on top of you with both of you facing in the same direction, his chest glued to your back and his arms over yours. Using the pillows for support, open your legs so he can kneel between them and enter you from behind.

Passion pay-off:You get the mischievous thrill of doing it doggy-style, a position every lover boy goes gaga for, but with super-soft support for you both. "With all that padding beneath you, he can go all-out wild with the thrusting. And unlike most backside boinks, his whole upper body is one with yours, giving intimacy addicts ultra-sensual head-to-toe contact. The best part is, his hands are free to caress every curve of your body.





The sideways samba

Do-it-directions:You lie on your side, turned away from your guy with your legs straight out in front of you at a 90-degree angle to your torso (so you make an L shape). Your guy lies behind you on his side in a modified spoon position, lines up his genitals with yours, then raises his torso with his arms. He controls the motion as he moves in and out of you.

Passion pay-off:If your guy isn't quite king-size, this one's for you. At this angle, he can give you maximum penetration. Plus, the skewed point of entry means his he will hit all sides of your vagina (not just the top and bottom), giving you major O-factor!

The pleasure pick-me-up

Do-it-directions:Standing with his back against the edge of the bed (or even the washer or dryer), your guy picks you up with his hands cradling your bottom and the backs of your thighs. Wrap your legs around his waist (place your feet on the bed for support) and your arms around his neck and shoulders. As his penis enters you, you hang suspended from him, bouncing up and down with the help of his arms.

Passion pay-off:For those who love a strong-man, get ready for a total heaven experience, since you’ll be bound in your guy's arms, totally suspended and at his orgasmic mercy. And the rapid-fire bouncy action provides a brand-new move - less in-and-out, more up-and-down. As he thrusts against your front vaginal wall, you're near enough for looking into his eyes and major kissing - essential ingredients for the ultimate coital connection.

The beg-for-it beetle

Do-it-directions:Your guy kneels, sitting back on his kneels. With your back to him, you lower yourself onto his penis in a plie or squat, with your feet planted on either side of his legs. Placing your hands on your thighs for balance (he can place his hands on your rear for serious support), take him in only about a third of the way. Tease him for a few minutes, then gradually go deeper until you’re nesting in his lap, the back of your thighs and tush curving into him.

Passion pay-off:This is the ultimate girl-power pose, and there’s nothing like having him beg for just an inch or two more. That whimpering you’ll hear is his delight as he gets a full rear view of you and feels the pleasure of long, superorgasmic strokes once you start to pump up abnd down. For maximum erotic exposure, try this in front of a mirror and watch as you gradually grind your way onto his lap.

The sexy scissors

Do-it-directions:You lie face up on a desk or tabletop with your hips perched on the very edge. Raise your legs to an eye-popping 90-degree angle, then have your guy grab your ankles. He extends his arms out to his sides, and as your legs are spread-eagle, he enters you while standing. Next, he starts alternately crossing and spreading your legs like scissors, opening and closing as he thrusts.

Passion pay-off:No other position will offer you this range of sensations. One second your limbs are in an erotic X and you’re supertight for a snug fit - then suddenly you’re wide open and able to take him in deep. We guarantee these thigh-melting moves will lead to some O-action.

The electric slide

Do-it-directions:You lie down on the bed or floor on your stomach, with your legs straight and slightly apart. Your guy sits right behind your buns with his legs in front of him and his hands on either side of his body for support. He leans back at a 45-degree angle to your body so he can join his genitals with yours. As he rocks forward and back, bring your legs together for a tight fit. Rest on your elbows with your arms in front of you for leverage.
Passion pay-off:If your guy likes taking charge in bed, this position will let him be in passion control. He can glide back and forth as fast or sensually slow as he desires down the runway of your thighs, surprising you since you can’t see what he’s doing. Plus, all that rubbing with his pelvic area gives your bottom a sweet massage.

How to supersize your orgasm

Increase your multiple-orgasm potential by going for at least one big O during foreplay, then another (and another, even another!) during the mattress main event.

Do-it-directions:"Put your guy's climax on hold and get him to switch up the way he plays with your passion buttons - like gliding his fingertip alongside it or massaging you in circles with his tongue," advises Tracey Cox, author of Supersex. Once you have your first big bang, move on to doggy-style or woman on top. Both allow him to touch your hot spot while providing deep G-spot stimulation - a one-two pleasure punch that'll get you worked up all over again. If he's racing toward the finish line before you're ready for your erotic encore, gently tug on his testicles, which will stall his engine.

Passion pay-off:A chain reaction of orgasms for you and a slowed-down yet explosive peak for him. "And remember, the more you practise teaching your body to climax, the easier it'll get and the more you'll crave sex," says Cox. Plus, watching you hit the heights of ecstasy is his ultimate turn-on.

The sultry sidewinder

You and you boyfriend are on your sides, facing each other, with your top leg draped over his.

Do-it directions:You and your boyfriend should be facing one another on your sides, super-close together, says sexpert Lou Paget. Raise your upper leg and help him to slide inside you, then drape the leg over his and tight around it. "Try to arrange it so that your feet are braced against a wall or footboard," she advises. "That way, you can use the strength in your feet, legs and toes to give you the action you want." If you tend to get tense before climaxing, this is the perfect move to do as you peak upward. "Some women require a form of strong muscular contraction to get to that next level of stimulation that leads to orgasm," says Paget. "The side-by-side allows you to have that firm, full-body contraction while staying in motion." Adjust the coital fit of his entry by tensing or relaxing your thighs together. You'll hug his trunk, stimulating the inner walls of your entire vagina; by relaxing your legs and opening them somewhat, he'll have a bigger range of motion, which can help you get intense clitoral titillation en route to your climax.

Passion payoff:The Sultry Sidewinder allows you the sort of languishing, leisurely pace that, in the end, packs a real punch. (Slow and steady can win the climax race!) "Orgasms that result from a long, slow buildup are frequently much stronger than those that are achieved with fast and intense stimulation," explains Kenneth Ray Stubbs PhD, author of The Kama Sutra of Sexual Positions: the Tantric Art of Love. "By savouring every single sensation, you're able to achieve a higher level of pleasure in the end." Think of it like a getting-it-on gear shift – if you go straight from first to fifth, you get a quick drop-off, but if you go from first to second and so forth, your erotic engine will be humming by the time you get there.) Plus, this side-by-side setup is great for intimacy - all the eye contact, kissing and closeness of this position will drive your slow climb to orgasm.

The magic missionary

You're on your back, legs together. He's on top of you with his ankles hooked around your calves.

Do-it directions:Have him enter you while you're lying on your back with your legs apart. Once he's inside, bring your legs close together and have him hook his ankles around your calves and raise himself up slightly on his hands, with a small arch in his back. By closing your legs, you'll create a more snug entry for him and more sustained clitoral stimulation for you. Also, because it's a shorter stroke and the angle of his penis in this position will be arching up, he has better control over his movements (it's the natural direction of his thrusting) and can really reach the front vaginal wall. If too much depth in the missionary position causes you discomfort, have him use shallow strokes so he doesn't come in contact with your cervix. As for your movements, tighten your lower muscles (hips, glutes, and thighs) to create rhythmic clenching in your pelvic area, giving heightened sensation.

Passion payoff:The Magic Missionary is a twist on the regular missionary position, which simultaneously stimulates you both (he gets extremely firm glans stimulation; you get close clitoral stimulation). And as both your groin areas stay in constant contact in this position, the orgasms will be amazing. Most importantly, the position is fabulous for inducing the sort of muscular contractions that can rock your world. It's not an energetic action, but it puts your body in more pleasure-enhancing motions than the spread-eagle style because it lets you move and squeeze more to build arousal. Plus, your partner will be using some of his strongest muscles - his thighs and glutes - so he'll endure like the Energiser Bunny.

The canine coupling

You’re on all fours with your forearms out flat in front of you. Your guy stands or kneels behind you.

Do-it directions:Assume an all-fours crawling position and let him enter you from behind, either standing or kneeling on the bed behind you. "But instead of staying on your hands and knees, tilt your shoulders downward with your forearms flat on the bed in front of you," says Paget. The natural curve in your back from this variation will expand or contract your vaginal wall so you can monitor how deep he goes. If you arch your back into a small hump, it will shorten your vagina and shift the stimulation down a notch; bend it the other way and you'll get deeper, more intense thrusting action. Plus, he'll get strong stimulation to the head of his penis, the most sensitive part. If you don't like him to go deep, have him use a circular motion so his pelvic bones don't push into your bottom. Should your arms begin to ache from the exertion, meld with the mattress by lying flat on your stomach but arching your buttocks upwards by placing a pillow under your pelvis. He'll be perfectly positioned to hit your G-spot, which is on the anterior (tummy side) vaginal wall.

Passion payoff:The orgasmic advantage of The Canine Coupling (a special version of doggy-style) is that it directs intense, firm pressure from your lover's penis to your G-spot; pressure so pointed, in fact, says Kenneth Ray Stubbs PhD, author of The Kama Sutra of Sexual Positions: the Tantric Art of Love, that it’s "one of the only positions where the penis is touching the G-spot like a bull's-eye. It’s a direct hit." Sexpert Lou Paget adds, "It's primal. This is how animals do it. So when people want to connect with their raw, unbridled, passionate sexuality, they often look to this position." Then there's the incognito element: the fact that neither of you are able to see each other's face can lead to lower self-consciousness and higher pleasure-consciousness. "When you're not able to use your visual sense, you rely on your senses of touch, sound, and smell, which allow you to let go and pay attention to the sensations that will help lead you to climax," explains Paget.

X marks the spot

Do-it directions:Lie back in bed (or on any soft surface) with a pillow under your head. Bring your knees up to your breasts and cross your legs at your ankles. Your guy kneels right in front of you, leans in, and pulls your hips onto his angled lap. Keep your thighs glued together and gently press your feet against his chest for leverage as he slowly enters you. You can stroke his thighs as he moves back and forth with steady, ultra-snug thrusts.

Passion payoff:What makes this carnal connector a triple treat is the fire-starter friction created by crossing and clamping your legs together. That super rub-a-dub means more sensation for you both. Plus, this compact pose increases your ability to contract your PC muscles (which when tightened can intensify his pleasure) - guaranteeing an especially intense climb to a body-shuddering climax.

The lap limbo

Do-it directions:Your guy sits back in a roomy chair with a pillow placed under his knees to elevate them. Now you straddle him, lower yourself into the triangle of his lap, and lean back so you're resting against his raised thighs. Bend your knees and put your ankles over his shoulders so they rest on the back of the chair. He grasps your hips as he enters you, and you set the rocking in motion by pushing your feet against the top of the chair as he thrusts by pulling your hips toward him.

Passion payoff:The payoff of this racy recliner move starts with pure visual pleasure. With you on his lap, legs open, he's got an up-close-and-intimate view of you, plus easy access to touch your breasts, tummy, and between your legs. All that tender stroking will intensify the sensual super-slow build-up brought on by his minimal movements. Meanwhile, since you're in control of the angle and depth of penetration, you can aim his penis toward your navel to the hit the G (as in so good!) spot.

The magic touch

Ever noticed that when one of your senses is blocked, the others get stronger? The same thing happens during sex.

Do-it-directions:Lead your boyfriend into the bedroom. Take off your clothes, then blindfold each other (silk scarves or any soft fabric works best) and agree to be silent for an entire erotic encounter. "Communicate with gestures - the pressure of a hand, the arch of a back, or the stiffening of a nipple," advises Tracey Cox, author of Supersex.

Passion pay-off:Stripping yourselves of sight and sound - the two senses that are relied on most during conventional sex sessions - magnifies every mattress motion. "With just touch to guide you, you're forced to use your hands and mouth all over your bodies, awakening erogenous zones you may not have ever been aware of," says Cox. Since you can't see each other, you're compelled to conjure up alternative ways to wow each other. And hopefully, some of those new hand and mouth moves will become staples of your pleasure playlist!

The titillating trapeze

You lie on your back, while your lover kneels in front of you. With your legs bent over his arms, he lifts your bottom off the bed.

Do-it directions:Start by lying on your back with your legs spread apart slightly and your boyfriend kneeling in front of you. He should then place the backs of your knees in the crooks of his elbows and pull upward so that your lower back and butt are raised off the bed at a 20- to 30-degree angle and the backs of your thighs are pressed against his stomach and chest. Try using one or more pillows beneath your bottom and back (the more pillows, the less you have to do) to hoist yourself up a bit so he has a prime pleasure-you angle. He should be able to enter you easily this way, as your buttocks will be cupped between his quads with your genitals pressing right up against his. Although you'll have to expend a bit of effort to keep your thighs together, it will be well worth it! "This position allows the man to maintain his balance and push his hips forward when he pulls your body toward and away from him, attaining a very easily maintained rhythmic motion," says sexpert Lou Paget. And the better the rhythm, the better your chances of achieving a mind-blowing orgasm.

Passion payoff:"With this sex pose, a woman is really able to watch her boyfriend in action and one hundred per cent surrender to the sensations," says Paget. The power of this position is that he gets to take complete control and show off like a stud while you lie back, relax, and let yourself have some very intense G-spot pressure, because your lower body is lifted up at a perfect angle for his penis to give you maximum penetration. Plus, it will double your pleasure: besides putting your bod in a prime position for your lover to hit your most sizzling spot, you'll also be more open than ever to manually (and directly) stimulate yourself. This will heat up your hottest genital nerve systems (those around the clitoris and the G-spot) and hold them in harmony, so much so that you can have what Paget calls a blended orgasm.

The lusty leapfrog

You're on top, straddling your boyfriend in a squatting position, with your knees out to the sides and your feet planted on either side of his hips.Do-it directions:Straddle him while he's lying on his back, and slowly lower yourself onto his pelvis, sliding his penis inside you as you go. But rather than sitting down in a straddle position, raise yourself up off him in a squatting position. Put your hands on your thighs, stomach, rib cage or upper chest for support. Start by sliding yourself up and down his penis by lifting your lower body up and down - it's a totally different motion than going forward and back like the normal woman-on-top style. Vary your pace, starting with some fast, teasingly shallow thrusts that touch only the tip of the penis, then move down into deep, slower thrusts that envelop him completely. The friction you'll create will give you the double bonus of amazing sensations all along the edge of your vaginal opening when you pump shallow, and on your G-spot when your pump deep. And if you try leaning backwards and resting your hands on his thighs and knees, the sensation will even spread to your clitoris, and the natural arching of your back will open up your body for him to fondle.

Passion payoff:You and your lover will quickly realise why the Lusty Leapfrog has such climax potential - hovering in a sexy squat above him, instead of sitting or straddling him squarely, gives you the perfect chance to clench him tight. "This is one of the easiest positions in which to flex your PC muscles around the glans of the penis, which can initiate an intense orgasmic response," says sexpert Lou Paget. This erotic arrangement also allows for better command of pacing and depth of thrusts (it's easy to vary between deep and shallow), which helps you put in control of your climax, according to Kenneth Ray Stubbs PhD, author of The Kama Sutra of Sexual Positions: the Tantric Art of Love (http://www.amazon.com/). "Squatting will help you feel the entire length of his shaft as you encircle it, and the muscle tension created by holding yourself above him will really add to the intensity of your pleasure."

"Houston: Malaysian IT Industry Has A Big Problem"

After 3 weeks of time given to the NationTech (a service company for Hyundai Corp's products)skilled technicians to repair my monitor, all I got is broken promises again, from the Information Technology industry.

Me: It has been 3 weeks you guys have taken my monitor. How is it? Fixed?
Technician: We do not have the spare part to fix the monitor. Hehe
Me: But I got the 3 year warranty for the monitor. And I did not cause the fault. It spoilt itself.
Technician: It is only 2 year warranty ah.
Me: I got the warranty card with me, it stated 3 year warranty. How come you say it is 2 year warranty?
Technician: (Lowering his voice) It's 2 years only..... Unless you buy LIKOM monitors, they are of 3 years warranty.
Me: (Felt bullshit) My warranty card is 3 years for 17" monitor flat screen. 15" monitors are only 1 year for sure. But I'm the 17" one. It stated I have 3 years warranty.
Technician: It's 2 years only....
Me: That means the warranty card can be thrown into the dustbin already?
Technician: Ya!
Me: >.< (Squeezed by the balls)



The broken promises Company - Hyundai

Planning to buy monitor? I'd recommend Samsung or other "experienced" brands in the market. Even though it's a year warranty, at least reliabity and honesty values are there. It feels a lot more confident when you are not being con-ned by the stupids!

    Now Hiring

    At the recent Career & Training Fair 2005 at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur, nothing is encouraging. Companies that exhibiting were Intel, Price Solutions (it's an active Standard Chartered Bank subsidiary), Sushi King, Tesco, Marcus Evans (an event management company, but they are exhibiting Only for recruitment of inbound Sales Personnel! O_o I was mesmerized), Jaya Jusco, Delloitte KassimChan, Flextronics, a bunch of "financial planning" jobs from AIA, Prudential, Sony, Samsung, Genting and a whole stretch of local universities and colleges like UTM, UKM, UUM, UPM, UM, and ughh, *enough. There were also a bunch of cubicles for interviewing sessions to be carried out on the spot. They've made it very convenient and efficient.

    However, I gained excitement when I came across a booth of Polis Diraja Malaysia (Royal Police Force of Malaysia) and there were some girls there so excited about the jobs offered by the police academy. One of them say, "It can be considered.." and heard another one said "not a bad one" and etc etc. So I took the opportunity to grab the almost-finished flyers, which is A3 sized printed on glossy papers. I nominate this flyer the best one among all the exhibitors of the event!

    Take a look at the right hand corner of the flyer, there's a list of badges according to rankings in the police force.

    Rankings

    High profiles in the police force are those with lil crowns, lil stars and keris (a deadly Malay sword) symbol. Newbies police have nothing on their shoulders.

    OK. Further bottom right is the motto of the police force ("Friendly, Fast And Correct"), in which we think the entire phrase is directly opposite in the meaning. Let's just face it.
