The reality of Car price in Malaysia
Posted by

Yesterday I received a forwarded email from a colleague. I was not surprise by what's inside the article but was rather pissed off due to how we have been indirectly denied from the rights as human to have a taste of what other people in most of other parts of the world had. Yes, it is about car price in our country. The article is written by Syed Akbar Ali and I'm not going to publish that article here but I will rather crop up all the information which we need to know, especially if any of you plan to buy a new car. This is just a matter of sharing and no intention to condemn anyone as I felt that this information is worth to be spread and as we have the very right to know this sort of thing when it's involving we being the victim as we are all consumers. So this will be shared in the context that we need to know as many information as we should on any consumers items in our country as this consciousness can bring saving to us or avoid being a victim of overpriced things, so in this post it will be about car price. So crunch this people:
In the United States of America (a developed country which we are also aspiring to become by the year 2020) a 2009 model BMW 535i Sedan is selling for about USD50,367.00. This is only RM178,000 - about the price of a Toyota Camry 2..4L here in Malaysia . The same BMW sells in Malaysia for about RM450,000.
The 2009 model BMW 328i 2 door Convertible sells for USD44,014 or RM155,36900 in the US In Malaysia the same car sells for over
RM460,000. This is an untenable situation.
RM460,000. This is an untenable situation.
The 2009 model Audi A4 2 Door 2.0T Cabriolet Convertible sells in the US for USD40,328.00 or RM142,357. In Malaysia the same car would sell for about RM265,000.
In the US the 2009 model Volkswagen GTI 2.0T sells for USD 24,039 or RM85,000 only. In China the same car will cost around RM60,000. Over here the same VW car sells for about RM200,000.
And the 2010 model Toyota Camry 2.4L sells in the US for USD 19,659...00 or RM69,396 In Malaysia the 2008 Toyota Camry 2.4L sells for RM170,000. Toyota Camry 2.4L, 2010 model. RM69,000 in the US
Car prices in Malaysia are about three times higher than the prices in the United States . We are a developing nation. Our land and labour costs are so much cheaper than the US . Why are our cars so expensive? It does not make any sense. Tak masuk akal.
Then here are some car prices from our neighbour Indonesia .
The Toyota Altis sells in Indonesia for about RM46,000. The same car sells here for around RM 112,000. Again we are three times more expensive than Indonesia
The Toyota Altis sells in Indonesia for about RM46,000. The same car sells here for around RM 112,000. Again we are three times more expensive than Indonesia
The Honda Jazz sells here for RM108,000.. In Indonesia the Jazz sells for RM 36,000. Three times more expensive.
That's some part of the article, for the full original article click and read HERE trust me it will open up your mind more than before.
After reading that article (and if it is true and I think it is true) I can help but to feel sad as a people of our country, we even sell cars almost three times higher than Indonesia!!! I didn't see any good of selling things so ridiculously overpriced like this. If this is not happening then even low paid modern slave like me will have a chance to drive Toyota Camry but now I can only afford a small "kononnya reliable" national cars which cost almost the same as (or even expensive) than Honda Jazz sold in Indonesia!!! When we know the quality, reliability and the standards of those two cars are far far different!! "macam langit dengan tanah bezanya" but I was left with no choice, I was forced to accept the fact that I've been denied of my rights to have a taste of what other people in other country are able to have in their life (and I do know even that consider as low price can be very expensive in Indonesia :p but even Indonesia can sell that car cheaper, why can't we? well of of course Indonesia didn;t have national car interest to protect though :p ) So why is this happening? If you want to know why read the original full article HERE. I don't mean to condemn anybody but this is TOO MUCH!!!! What, only those filthy rich and those blood sucking politicians can use those cars, oh yes of course they even have the privilege to buy those car cheaper!!! or even get it for free (using duit rakyat la of course)!! and we the people can only drive small national car which as the same price as the higher standard car in the world's market, ridiculous? Well if there's any other words other than "ridiculous" can describe it, please enlighten me.One thing I know, I felt like I'm being abused and that's not something good. Anyway, that's the "privilege" as a our country's people, what can we do? Nothing much, want to boycott national car? No can't do because we don't have the money to buy imported car!! So again we're force to accept something that we are not willing to. *sigh*
Well, I know this thing have been known for so long (and I might be the among the last to comments about this) but we tend to forget easily, so this can be like a reminder to all as we all are consumers. So what happen to the statement "consumer always right"? Nahhh forget it... Anyway give this a thought.
p/s: Please share if any of you have latest info on this topics and all opinion are very much welcome. And if any of you wonder how true is the price of those car above, use your Google to "investigate" the price in other country and find the latest foreign exchange rate and convert it, it's a simple math anyway :p

Road MORON!!! Threatening You Life...

Yesterday I was driving happily to the city center with my favorite music playing on my radio and not much car on the road (as people are trying their best to get into tHe Spring although they put "Parking Is Full" sign at one entrance to the car park or maybe some still sleep due to the football-insomnia experience the night before). At one of the traffic light I stop at the red light and didn't expect anything wrong as there were only two cars on the lane, mine and another car beside me and no other car behind mine or his. Just when the light turn green, I put on the gear 1 and start to accelerate slowly and gain speed at about 20 or 30 km/h when.... Suddenly I saw a car right in front of mine (cornering fast like it was drifting but not) which almost make me ramp into it, luckily I didn't accelerate too fast and manage to make an emergency sudden stop. I start to shout "C***i palak n***ek kau, sial, m*****f****r road bxsxaxds!!!!!!!!!!!!".
The Illustration on how the situation was. (My car is that white Bugatti Veyron sport grand convertible myhahaha *ada hati mo drive Veyron kunun ceh!!* and that moron's car is the green one)
It was lucky nothing bad happen, (and luckily I'm not actually driving a Bugatti Veyron hehe if not... hmm..) imagine if I accelerate fast and crash into his car, his life will be at the very bad stake as I will ramp directly to his side and worst of all there's kid inside that car not wearing a seat belt (I know because that time the kid was standing at the other side front seat). That's a super crazy maneuver and so damn crazy. What was he thinking, he can just wait for me to pass before making that illegal and deadly turn (no other car behind me) or at the first place when he know he want to make a U-turn why use that outer lane, why not go to the correct lane instead. I thought we all are gifted with brain and the ability to judge what's wrong and right what safe or not but this moron left his brain inside the fridge at his house or maybe he didn't need that brain and he gungho on everything. So damn stupid, imagine also if there's a car behind me, I might not ramp into him but the car behind me will ramp into mine. There a lot of bad bad consequences prior to his stupid action.
That has really spoil my happy driving and I was thinking, you might think that you're driving safely (as we follow the road safety rules and law and remembering the campaign) there're also danger when some bastards or bloody moron who doesn't have their brain intact inside their cranium doing something so damn stupid and endangering your life. Maybe he was trained that way in his coffee-shop-license-road-moron-driving-school! Anyway the main point is you're not safe driving on the road even if you're a very discipline driver when road moron like this still exist. I don't have anything to suggest to overcome this problem as this come from us ourselves. And as we always say "Drive Safely" every time!! and hoping that no road moron will cause danger to our driving...
p/s: We might not be perfect and make mistake some time or all the time (like forgot to signal when changing lane and etc..) but doing stupid thing like that should it be consider as mistake? when we can clear consciously decide not to do it because our judgement say it is dangerous.. hmmmm...

Blank!!! Some pieces of Gawai..

While typing this post I actually don't know what to write or doesn't have anything to post about. But I was too bored stuck at home and I felt like I've neglect my blog for quiet a while (as I went off for Gawai). So because I was back from Gawai I think it's worth to share a few photos I took that time. Not many photos was taken during Gawai as I was "preoccupied" with a lot of things that didn't really permitted me to bring my camera around. Plus, I won't be able to take any photo when holding a bottle or glass or can at one hand :p or when I just sitting and have conversation with people then taking photo while they talk to me will certainly annoyed them. So the only time that I was free to take some photo during the Junior Kumang Gawai competition held at my longhouse as during this time people were pretty much concentrate onto the event and leave the drinking, eating and chatting aside for a while. So enough said, here are a few photo from that competition. (Sorry for the not-so-good photo).
p/s: That's all the photos I have for the Gawai, seriously. And why no adult/grown up Kumang competition? I don't know hehehe

Surfacing.. Pissed off mode!

I'm really pissed off today. I don't mind people judge me minimally (simply because I can't stop them) but I really hate those who feel like they know everything about me and what I do (while they didn't even understand anything) and make wrong judgement of me especially things that I didn't do. No need to do that, judge yourself before you judge others, we all ain't perfect, don't be too quick to jump to conclusion, you might hurt them. Anyway, I don't want to say too much, afraid if I get carried away things will get really "bad". Let one of my favorite songs spit the word out... (trying to be calm)...
Note: This songs contain explicit language and if any of you didn't like it don't ever press the play button, (if you watch it you might say things like "what the hell he said" or "this song hurt my hearing" so don't watch it) do watch Charice video in the previous post instead. Don't get me wrong, this song is only to express my pissed off mood (at least by doing this I will not go on rage) and no intention to reflect it to all of you (accept for those pissed me). Don't hate me for this!
Anyway for those new to this song, this group called Slipknot and this song called Surfacing (released back in 1999).
p/s: Don't judge me because of this song as this is one of my favourites and I growing up hearing it.

Again, a colleague sending me an article about health concern. Maybe this issues have been arise before but this will be a reminder for us all. Read on..
Tasty but deadly
They come in a tasty blend of sweet, sour and salty. They can also be deadly.
Yes, craving for that piece of dried sour plum can kill you, albeit slowly.
Many types of dried fruits imported from China, Taiwan and other Asian
countries have been found to contain high levels of lead. The Government banned 18 important brands of dried fruits found
to have lead content of between 0.11 and 30.3 parts per million (ppm) or
milligram (mg)/kilogramme (kg).
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said only dried fruit products other
than these brands would be allowed to be sold in the country.

"Under Regulation 38 of the Food Regulations 1985, the level of lead accepted
is two parts per million. Action will be taken if the lead content exceeds the
amount," he said.
Those who distribute food products deemed to be harmful to health can be
charged under Section 13(1) of the Food Act 1983. They can also be fined up to
RM100,000 or jailed up to maximum of 10 years or both if found guilty.
Liow said the ministry would ensure that the brands of banned dried fruit do not
enter the country.
Lead is a metal that can be absorbed into the body over time.
Excess consumption, especially by the young, can lead to serious health
problems, including delayed mental and physical development and learning
deficiencies.

Lead also poses risks to pregnant women and infants.
Malaysia’s move to bar the 18 brands of dried fruits comes in the wake of last
Friday’s move by the United States’ Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA)
advisory against eating dried fruits imported from Asia.
Testing results in Texas found that dried plums and products containing dried
plums contained lead as much as 300 times the acceptable level.
The FDA doe not have lead limits specifically for prunes, but the Centre for
Disease Control and Prevention has advised avoiding consumption of any
amount of lead.
The warning, however, did not apply to prunes from the US.

To Mom With Love... a son's heart say..
Posted by

7:04 PM
I don't know about other people but for me my mom is the best. Not that she's perfect (she's also a human) but throughout my life she seems to do more sacrifice. As a son I'm the most stubborn, disobedient and many more bad attitude and not to mention the most rebellious in the family. Back when I was a kid my mom was so fierce and most of the time I was beaten and slaps and many more "violence" ways to react to me when I do bad things. I didn't blame her because it's her job as a mom and one thing for sure it didn't leave any scars :pThroughout my life she's have been very supportive in whatever I do, be it in education or sport (contrary to my dad). And one thing I know she never stops praying for my success in life. The reason why I said she had sacrifice so much is because seems that sometimes or maybe most of the time she's "alone" in doing and handling family matters. Plus ever since I know how to understand things, my mum have been a very very patient and strong person especially dealing with my dad who has hard time to lead the family. One thing for sure that I know she's really a soft person in heart as most of the time she didn't want to hurt anybody though those anybody might have hurt her badly.
My mom has never disappoint me in almost everything, be it when I asked money (during study time hehe) or other things. Accept that, because I spent most of my life growing up far away from home and only be at home for maybe a month or two in a year (totaled up hehehe), I was not really understood by her as she didn't know when I'm mad and still scolded me when I teased my sisters like I'm a little kid. I noticed when I finished my study she still not accepting me as grown up teenager and still treating me like I'm younger but along the way after that she learned that I'm grown up now and she need not to worry too much and gave herself some confident that I carry myself well already.
One thing for sure, my mom is the one person I could never betrayed or hate. She's the best ever and there could never be somebody like her. As today is the mother's day, I would like to say greatest appreciation to my mom and thank you so much. In God's will I will try my best to play my role as a son and may God bless my mom and all moms in the world....

Banana for life!!
Posted by
Rodz Nocturne
at
12:58 PM
A colleague sent me this and I found it's interesting hehehe for being one of those people who love banana, this is a relieve for me ;p
A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression "going bananas" is from the effects of bananas on the brain..
Read on:
Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting..
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
angovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin.. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance.. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills.. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe....polish with dry cloth.. Amazing fruit !!!
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness

As we go on and getting older...

Today I was saying to myself "what a hectic life and this year I'm another year older". Then I realized next week is May and we're almost in the middle of 2010. Time goes by so fast and seems like so much to do but time is never enough for everything. Although I feel like my life is busy (especially with work) but achievements is very little. I didn't know what I've gain in life. All I know everyday I've tried so hard to live my life working while at the same not neglecting my needs. But most of the time works win and my life is full of unfinished businesses. Sometimes I feel like everything is far ahead of me and I will have to run faster to catch up but even I've run the fastest I can, they still can't be reached on time. Life is never an ease nowadays, more worries than the unwinding thoughts. Even sometimes I find myself pampered by good things to ease my life but I has never be long, the longest like for a day or two. It is so tiring which sometimes I feel like giving up but which one should I gave up to, give up to this one, that one still there and for sure I will not give up whole life (that's a suicide).At the time of typing this specific paragraph, I saw my staff's children playing happily. How I wish my life is like that. Damn, now I'm wishing I was young again. So contrary to my wish when I was 15 or 17 last time in which I always wish that I'm older and reach 21 faster :) and I thought that life will be more fun if I'm one of the grown ups. I will have work and earn my own money and I can do so much more things without so much constrains and rules (without so much people shouting saying DON'T! hehehe) or in those-time-mind would say FREEDOM :p
But now I'm one of the grown ups and my wish have came true but then I asked myself have I ever really enjoyed my grown up life to the very fullest? I did, that's when I'm 21 until 23 only and after that in 24 excited about working and earning money, then works have taken over more than 50% portion of my life and it is not fun anymore because everyday have to struggle with works, needs and trying to find something to be enjoyed. Until now, life have been quiet statics for me, not much thing going on and almost the same thing everyday.
Now, I'm wishing that I'm young again just because those are the times when I don't have much worries (the biggest worries is just not doing well in study hehehe) and not much responsible to carry (again the responsibility is doing well in study and have a good behavior though I'm not a good person that time hehehe). Even those are the times that we feel like this world is so small, we don't have to care much about others, we don't have to worry about money (just worry that parents doesn't give a lot la ;p ), we don't have much things that we want (a lot but the fact that money is limited make us not wanting too much hehehe), we have very little things to fear and I don't have much worries when I want to commit something wrong hehehe. But anyway, that's all have been long gone (and now I'm wishing like most human did, How I wish I could turn back time hahaha).
Like it or not now I have to swallow everything in this current life, bitter, sweet and sour all have to be accept. Life goes on and those wishes up there will never be possible hehehe, it will always become wishes forever. Whatever this life give, have to live with it and PERSEVERE no matter how difficult it will be (sometimes we doesn't given so much choice). So now have to go back to the real life hehehe, actually this post could be longer but got works to do (see, works really wins :p ) so rock on and keep on living folks, keep on living....

Earlier this month I've posted something about my photo blog. Eventually a disastrous things happen to that blog and I have to "remove" it and reinstalled. It have been few weeks I try to re-established that blog but it goes on and off as I was busy with my works. Until early last week I found a suitable theme for that blog (although the colour might seems like a bit odd but I like the layout). Luckily I have not posted many things yet in the previous blog. Now my photo blog is up and running again, though not so much things yet there but more to come. So here a snippet of what's there:
This is something I've wanted to do couple of years back but only now it is done. My intention is not to show off anything (I don't have anything to show off by the way). I just wanted to get others' opinion on my photos so I could improved as I consider myself a "young" photographer, a casual one and still a beginner. So if you have any advice or something to share in photography just click HERE or go to www.rodznocturne.com. Hope to see you there.
p/s: If you wonder why the statistics number on that blog is "many" though it has only running for a few days, about 80% of it comes from the previous blog as I use the same domain before.... cheers...

Go BALD? Why not....

Hello people, want to go BALD for a good reason? This is the chance, I know many people pictured bald heads is not something good. But it's never a bad thing, trust me it makes you feel like something different (and can save you some bucks on hair cream too hehehe). Last time, ever since after I've finished my high school, bald become my fashion up until I'm in the university, most of the time I shave my heads and I can prove that when I show you guys my I.C. hehehe.
Enough for my bald story, well here's the things, this year Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society (SCCS) organized The Go Bald campaign and it's aim is not only to collect funds, but also help raise awareness for childhood cancer. They aim to target RM1 million to help them run the center, as well as use the money to fund their new halfway home which is estimated to cost RM2.5mil. Currently, SCCS is using a century old semi-D house as their halfway home, and they are currently maxed out in terms of space, and hence the need for a new place with more space, and better facilities.
This campaign is one of many things that we can do to help those children and to contribute to a better facilities for them. It might seems to be a small things but the effects it'll bring will be enormous. Who else can help them if not us, who else can support this if not us and who else can give them a little something to make them smile if not us. For bolder steps, interested individuals can sign up with the Go Bald organizers to get their head bald in front of the public on 16 May 2010 at the Spring, Kuching. You are also very much welcomed to get a pledge card and collect donations for SCCS. So this is one thing that we can do. For more information click the campaign's logo in the side bar or go to www.sarawak-bloggers.org or www.shiok.org or go straight to www.gobald.my that will be launched soon or contact the Go Bald Project Coordinator, Allen Ang at 013-8115966 or e-mail him at admin@gobald.my. Other than that, SCCS can also be contacted at 012-8073131. And by the way this campaign runs through until 16 May 2010 and do contact them to find out how you can help.
And if you guys asked me will I go bald? Yes I would love to and really really want to join in (it will brings me back to my past memories as well :p ) but I cannot confirm whether I could make space for that event on that date (as I'm not in Kuching and I have an uncertain working schedule). But I will try to make my space to go to the event on 16th of May. Is there any chance that I can go Bald and pass my picture as my support?
Anyway, lets support this people, whether you will go bald for this or not, just show your support alright...

Last night I had a dream of driving a Nissan GTR (R35) (maybe because that evening I saw this car on the road and terbawa-bawa in my sleep hehehe). Then this morning when I woke up and recalled that dream makes me think to myself, what would I do if I had RM 1 millions, would I buy that car (that's my favorite car actually :p). This is the list of what I will do:
1. RM200k will be allocated for donation and charity (I always want to do this)
2. RM100k will be used to pay for house down payment (the bank will not be happy with this hehehe)
3. RM100k will be used to pay for house down payment (house for my family)
4. RM100k will be given to my family members (especially my mum)
5. RM50k will be used for my medical purpose
6. RM80k will be used to open up any business
7. RM100k will be used for any investment (rolling up strategy hehehe)
8. RM50k will be used for my "future plans" (*wink* *wink* hehehe)
9. RM50k will be used to buy advance DSLR and photography accesorries, Other camera, gadgets, laptop (I'm a "boros" guy when it comes to things like this hehehe)
10.RM50k will be used for miscellaneous things (like sponsoring Sarawak Bloggers gathering maybe hehe)
11.RM20k will be used for life's "improvement"
12.RM100k for saving (finally I can save :p )
But that's just my imagination anyway hehehe. Dunno how to get RM1 million in a easy-peasy way. Moral of the story buy 4D number hahahaha, no, just work hard and might not get a million but it'll worth something. It's true when people said "money is not everything" and of course it's not everything, it's just being money if not used but I believe a lot of people will agree when I say "EVERYTHING NEED MONEY", if there is anything that not, tell me ok :p I will be happy to know and I will add to my life's "vault" hehehe. How bout you guys, what would you do?
