Astro Max - Malaysian’s Tivo
Written by Irwan on June 30, 2006 – 8:56 pm
Malaysians can now record up to 60 hours of their favourite programmes without the need of any external devices. They can also pause and rewind “live� television so that they will never miss a moment of their favourite programmes or sports broadcasts. With the new Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), the Astro MAX allows for easy recordings of Astro programmes.
“With the Astro MAX, subscribers can now watch whatever they want, whenever they want. We are giving the chance to all Malaysians to finally be able to take control of their TV viewing,� said Rohana Rozhan, Chief Executive Officer of Astro TV. The Astro MAX offers the benefits of DVD recording and viewing – minus the needs for tapes and DVD-Rs.
“Astro MAX is a one-stop solution centre. Everything you need is found on the Astro MAX without the need of any other external devices. It is the latest evolution of Astro services,� she added.

Public Mutual - My first Unit trust
Written by Irwan on June 29, 2006 – 4:47 pm
Finally, I just bought my first unit trust this evening. I’ve spent 2 hours listening to an agent explaining about what I have already knew. It’s quite boring until she explained about which stock is suitable for me. She is very helpful (she even sent me home with her Merc 
). I finally made my decision. I divided my portfolio to Ittikal Fund and Regional Sector.
What? You bought Mutual Funds? They are easy to get down but damn long to back up?
You are right, that is what I am expecting. Dollar cost averaging works best in Low-then-up market and in long-term investment. And for Ittikal, it has a gradual increase and outperform KLSI growth. It will likely to hike 50-80% in 5 years (according to past performance but past performance is nothing more than just an indicator 
). Read more »

Hilarious Flash animations (Really)

I wonder what will happen if the victim can get over the cursor, and spread itself into the internet. Then we will have a war with them just like in the Matrix… Oh, this youtube movie doesn’t include the ending (which you should watch). Don’t hesitate to download the high quality version to see till the end. Read more »
