Malaysian RM2 note

Few weeks back I got a RM 2 note change from a supermarket. The very same day, I went to center point and decided to use the note to go to the restroom (Have to pay, nothing is free nowadays). To my surprise, the lady cleaner said, 'tidak buli guna ni', or 'this can no longer be used'.
So okay, never mind. I thought maybe I can use it somewhere else. Then after that I tried the amusement center, change it to the amusement center coin. The girl there also didn't want to accept the money as if its a foreign note.
I did a little research on the internet. I surf to the BNM(Bank Negara Malaysia) website. There's no telling that the RM2 note can no longer be used.
I never heard from TV or any other media that this note is no longer valid, like the RM1 coin. Looks like this leave me with 2 choice. To keep it as a collection or change it at the bank. Hmm, not sure if the bank still accept this. Someone humor me.
Anyway, for those who kinda forget what it looked like, here it is.
Why do we need to put the 'CONTOH' or 'SPECIMEN' word when we print our money? I give u RM2 if you can answer this.

Malaysia traffic police summons

I went to traffic police office yesterday to pay my summon (drive over speed limit, regret oredi. Now drive only 80km/j). It took the lady officer on the counter quite a while to check my summons. The excuse was, 'tunggu sekejap, komputer slow' or 'wait a while, the computer is a bit slow'. I heard one of the people waiting there saying, 'buli dengar itu bunyi dialing' or 'you can hear the dialing tone' as if they are still using dial-up.

I was not frustated or anything, not that I have anything important to do, but I thought Malaysian Police should have a first class facility because they deal with the public the most. Maybe this just happen in this district I went to. Hopefully in other Traffic Police Offices, they are using a more updated facility like a broadband or something.

Too much soy reduces sperm count

Washington: Eating or drinking a lot of products containing soy and isoflavones can result in reduced sperm count among men, a Harvard School of Public Health study has shown.
"There has been a lot of interest on whether soy affects fertility because many studies in animals suggest that this is the case, but there are very few studies in humans," said researcher and lead study author Jorge Chavarro.
"This only the third study to look at whether soy food has a relationship with fertility in humans and the first one to find an association in agreement to the animal studies," he said.
Soy contains isoflavones, an organic compound which acts like female hormones and appears to impede a man's ability to produce sperm.
The Harvard study examined the soy intake of 99 men, determined to be part of couples experiencing fertility difficulties, over the course of three months. -AFP (Source: The Star)

Interesting article I ran into few days ago. So guys watch out. But for the girls, soy is an excellent source of protein and the female reproductive hormone estrogen. Soy foods contain phytoestrogens, literally meaning plant-derived estrogen. The type of phytoestrogen in soy is known as isoflavones. Evidence is growing that these phytoestrogens may help with menopausal symptoms, as well as inhibits cancer cell growth.

Hot!


It was super hot today. I've couldn't remember the last time its been this hot before. What made it different than any other day was not only that it's hot, but it was also dry. Dust sticking on my car windows. It's so hot that I can boil an egg inside my car, parked outside without any shade. The hottest day ever recorded in the world was in El Azizia, Libya, Africa on Sept. 13, 1922. The temperature was 136 Degrees Fahrenheit or 58 Degrees Celsius. Hooray for weather history news today.
