Mother nature striked again! This time in Taiwan. Last Tuesday, the 7.1 -magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan sparked widespread communication disruption on Wednesday across South-East and East Asia. According to AFP, Millions of people dependent on the internet for news, stock prices and email were reminded of life before the World Wide Web.

I was in my hometown Tumpat at  that time. Tumpat is a small but peaceful town in Kelantan, about 400 km from Penang. It has nice sandy beaches & most importantly good and unique foods. My house here only connected to dial-up connection. If those with ADSL connection experienced the extremely slow connection, you can imagine how mine gonna be. I can’t even launched my Telechart & most of the websites hosted in US.

I am back to Penang today but the connection speed is not up to the normal speed yet. But at least I can access & update my blog and also able to use my Telechart. But unfortunately, there is no result for both Morning & Evening Star today.

Apologise me for not able to post the daily market update from my master Jason Ng due to this problem. I’ll post it as soon as I got the note from Jason.    

But the sad story that I don’t like to hear is lost of life. It was reported that 2 were killed and 42 people were injured in the incident. The Washington Post reported that two members of one family were killed when their four-storeys home collapsed in the souhtern Pintung County township of Hengchun.

My condolence to the those who lost their loved one! May their soul rest in peace.

 

 

It’s Christmas time again. This is a good time for us to take a break & spend a quality time with our family. For me in Malaysia, Christmas too is a holiday for us. This is the time where I’ll be visiting my Christian friends & wishing them Merry Christmas.

To those celebrating Christmas, a Happy Merry Christmas to you & your family.
