Cash Advance

Cash advance or payday loan (also called as paycheck advance or payday advance) is a short term loan that is intended to cover a borrower's expenses until his or her next payday.

Payday loans may be helpful when a person is having temporary cash flow problems or are facing a financial emergency and need money on a short-term basis. Payday loans are a good alternative to selling personal property for less than it is worth, or uncomfortable situations like borrowing money from family and friends.

The loans DO NOT require a credit check. Most employed people meet the loan approval criteria such as employment status, minimum income and an active checking or savings account.

Payday loans range in size from $100 to $1,500, depending on state legal maximums. The loan term typically ranges from 4 to 30 days

The majority of payday loans lenders and allow clients the option of “rolling over” a loan, meaning that the loan is extended to the next payday and the subsequent fees are doubled. Consumers may use payday loans to avoid late-payment penalties and negative marks on credit ratings. Many people have a need from time to time for short-term financial assistance and payday loans provide a viable solution. When used responsibly, payday loans can solve to these short-term cash needs effectively.

Online Cash Advance Payday Loans provide many advantages over applying at an offline traditional payday loan storefront. These advantages include:

• Cash advance checks usually processed faster.
• Apply anonymously from the public.
• Complete the application in the privacy of your own home.
• No difficult handwriting that may confuse the lender.
• Have time to find ALL the cash advance information you need at home.
• No standing in line at a store for hours.

Dissapointed with written proposal marker

WHY ? - One of the lecturer who marked Yen Wei's and mine written proposal only gave us satisfactory for no apparent reasons.

We were confident that we did our Introduction, Literature Review, Research Hypothesis and Objective, Materials and Methods and References well. Moreover, our proposals follows the instruction of our supervisors ( Associate Professor Dr.Ammu Radhakrishnan and Associate Professor Dr. Chu Wan Loy) and were went through by them for comments and modifications before submitted to AAD.

I don't know whether did the marker really did read my literature review, which I put in a lot of effort looking for the journals and facts because there isn't any signs of marking on it, fine.

But the marker who is a PhD somehow thinks that he/she???(don't wanna give a clue here who is he/she-herein after refer as SH) have problem with the methods proposed by our two supervisors who are currently holding the title of AP and the methods approved by the research committee.

SH seems having difficulties understanding this paragraph, which is very understandable and clear to any persons who knows English.



Then, SH seems to be not satisfy with this paragraph, asking us to state the concentration of Spirulina extract that we will be using in our research. But my question back to SH is - how are we supposed to know what concentration that we should use before completing this research ? If we are able to tell you the concentration, then this will just become an EXPERIMENT, not RESEARCH!



We are looking for whether Spirulina extract (methanolic extract in my case) does protect against oxidants-induced cell death. After conducting the research only then I will be able to tell you my findings what concentration of Spirulina extract can protect against how much of an oxidant, and not before all the research! If I know it I would have become god who can predict the future, now earning Millions of dollars and not suffering doing lab work until midnight 4am.

Please lah to SH, next time if you have any questions please contract our supervisors extension no. for Dr.Ammu is 1184 and Dr.Chu is 1185 to ask, don't just make people doubt your qualification to mark our paper.

Legendary Luciano Pavarotti

A great tenor had passed away yesterday, a great lost of talent to those who likes opera music. I don't really know him until 1 year ago, while listening to my friend's collection in his car, I am very impressed of his voice although none of us speaks Italian.

In 1972 he famously hit nine high C's in a row in Daughter of the Regiment at New York's Metropolitan Opera, which he referred to as "my home".

His last public singing performance was at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Turin in February 2006.

You may say that you are not interested in opera music and doesn't care about what happened to him but I think all of us should give tribute to this guy for his optimistic thinking and courage. He doesn't give up on fighting his pancreatic cancer and even perform while suffering from cancer.

Moreover, he still strive to gave several hours each day to teaching his pupils at his summer villa in Pesaro, on Italy's Adriatic Coast until just weeks before his death.

I am sure that he would not be happy for leaving this world before completing his farewell tour but god had taken him away after all...

Highlights of the great tenor's career

1. La Fille du régiment, New York 1972
Seventeen rapturous curtain calls crowned this sensational performance of Donizetti’s comedy at the Metropolitan Opera, confirming Pavarotti’s super stardom.

2. World Cup, Rome 1990
This epoch-making “Three Tenors” concert alongside Placido Domingo and José Carreras made Pavarotti a household name, not least for his heartfelt singing of Puccini’s “Nessun dorma”.

Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma

Bad experience at Sri Petaling Proton Edar

After having Pork noodle at OUG for lunch, Han Ping, Yen Wei and I decided to show our support to our national car by paying a visit to the Proton Edar located at Sri Petaling, near Shell and Mobil petrol station. Inside there were a few family and couple looking for a new car. Three of us were hoping to test drive the new Proton Persona.

However, when the salesman (David) found out that Han Ping is still a student, his attitude changed immediately, saying that he need a guarantor in order for him to test drive and persuade him to put booking fee (RM50) first. He asked us what car do you all drive and where did you all study. We told them we study in IMU and from his eye I can see he was wondering is that "Itu Mana University"? So he ask us " what is that?". We were like wtf!!!??? IMU so close to Sri Petaling also don't know? Our BPharm tuition fees can already buy a new Persona H-Line and a H-Line Savvy already ok!

He lied to us that the CAMPRO in this Persona is like what you found in Honda VTEC and Toyota VVTI. That time I had a very bad impression on him because even the Proton CEO admitted that the real CAMPRO is still in development and will be available later this year or next year. Currently CAMPRO is just a name, no whatsoever technology inside. Since I am not buying this car anyway, but HP is interested, I choose not to shoot on his face for being a liar.

It is spacious inside, the door close with a solid sound and the plastic quality has improve a lot compared to the one inside Gen-2. I don't like the the steering wheel, it is so hard and rough, makes me wonder whether am I grabbing a rough wooden stick or a steering. Ladies will need to apply more hand cream after driving this car.

It will takes the speedometer forever to reach the 240 km/h top speed.

Looks complicated to me...

Hand rest is made of soft material. Hopefully the power window failure problem has been solved forever.

I am unable to bump my head onto the roof of the backseat even when I sit straight, unlike the Gen2.

Haizzz... just got a little bit of good sales then this Proton salesman becomes arrogant. Even when Yen Wei wanna test drive Honda City V-Tec at The Store there a few weeks ago also got no problem. They shouldn't treat a potential customer like that, even if we are not buying this car for now...

Proton Persona- pride and joy of nation?

I felt proud to know that our country can produces a car when I was in primary school studying "Di Fang Yen Jiu". But as I grown up, the 1st generation Proton car which is in fact older than me by a few months, associated with low quality and using Mitsubishi 1st generation Lancer technology carburetor engine is still in production really disappoints me.


Newer model of Proton Saga, Proton Iswara is not much different except the engine horse power increase by a few bhp.

While Mitsubishi is coming out with its new Lancer Evolution 10, poor Malaysians need to settle with a 22 years old Proton Saga, isn't it a sad thing? Saying national car is the national pride really makes me laugh. I felt rather embarrased to see a dinosour car running on the road. Why they never improve after being given so many years and chances!


The technology and design of this new Lancer is light years ahead of any Proton cars!


Although they have tried hard to improve on their car quality, the new car still lacks in one of the most important aspect - the heart of a car which is the engine.

The same old engine that you can find in the Gen-2 give you bad low end torque, meaning that the engine needs to rev more to move the car from static, directly increasing the fuel consumption which becomes worst when you drive frequently in go-stop-go-stop KL traffic.

Even if they have made modifications to counter this problem, one thing that I had noticed is that they never mention the fuel consumption of this car. Previously they have been boosting that the 1.3L Gen-2 and Savvy can give you a decent mileage, but this time they never say a word on fuel consumption. So for those who is going to spend their hard earned money to pay 7 or 9 years loan to get this car, you should consider whether is there possibility that you need to break a big hole in your pocket to feed this car in order to get it moving.

Personally Persona's design is acceptable to me. This car is price competitively against the MyVi. One is 1.6L small-mid size sedan and another is 1.3L compact car.

Price list:
Proton Persona 1.6AT H-Line Metallic – RM55,800
Proton Persona 1.6AT M-Line Metallic – RM52,800
Proton Persona 1.6MT M-Line Metallic – RM49,800
Proton Persona 1.6AT B-Line Metallic – RM48,449
Proton Persona 1.6AT B-Line Solid – RM47,999
Proton Persona 1.6MT B-Line Metallic – RM45,449
Proton Persona 1.6MT B-Line Solid – RM44,999

Nevertheless, I pick MyVi over Persona anytime if I am going to get a new car when I come out as fresh grads. Engine realibility and fuel economy are the major factors that I made the decision to choose MyVi. May be I will consider Proton Persona if the engine comes with the real CAMPRO, VIM (variable intake mechanism) and CPS (cam profile shifting), otherwise Proton will never get my money.

Breaking News- IMU Canteen Caught Fire!

We have heard many times the fire alarm rang while we were attending lectures, but all of them were false alarm. Today 10.30 p.m., yes is NIGHTIME! Yen Wei, Han Ping and I went to make our 3T3 cells healthy in the culture room. We should be given the most hardworking student prizes, if there is any :) When we were just about to start the cell culturing process, the alarm rang for sometime. Again, we thought it was just malfunction of the alarm system and continued to carry on our work. Although I did take a look outside the lab, but everything seems to be fine to me at that time.

After finishing our work at 12.15 a.m., on the way back passing the lift we saw this numbers that freak us out-When did IMU construct until 58 floor high? After went down to the security check point at ground floor, we saw bomba and the security guards inside the control room.

These 2 cars are so "lucky" that they parked at the place where water was leaking for free car wash. The whole car park is so huge and coincidentally they parked at there.

The entrance was flooded with clean water, what a waste!

Bomba took about 1 hour to arrive after the incidence. Heard someone said that they drove to TPM looking for IMU, hence causing the delay. Come on, IMU is not APIIT lah! Luckily the fire that occur at the Malay canteen was not serious, or else...

If the only entrance/exit collapse due to the gas explosion, how are we going to escape! IMU please looked into this matter seriously. A building should have sufficient escape route to be approved for usage. 3 of us should be considered lucky to get out of there safely!

KL food exploration (Part 1)

Meng Kei Char Siew Fan nearby Jalan Alor-RM 6 per serving.
The roasted pork is crunchy and sweet.
Rating= 9/10
Meat ball (made from beef) spaghetti at Murni, SS2- RM 12
For beef lover like me, the meat ball really taste delicious unlike those low quality beef like Rxxli burger. The serving is so big until my stomach is so full until unable to walk. Suitable for those body builders.
Rating = 8/10

Ice blended Ribenna and Peach. RM 5 (large) , RM 4 (small)
Again, the "cup" as big as a 750 mL beaker will make your stomach burst... If you don't have a big stomach, better save RM 1 and just order small drinks. RM 5 one is seriously too big, it is sufficient for sharing with 2 person.
Rating = 8/10
