Super Star Virgo had been around for the past 15 over years and this is the first time going on board with my whole family next week. (a bit suah koo..... ). Might not want to board again after this trip. Just want to get the experience on board a cruise ship. Will be on board for 3 days 2 nights cruise to KL and I had planned to stay on the ship throughout. The stopover at Malacca & KL doesn't attract me as been to both places countless times. I would like to make full use of the journey to explore the ship as much as possible and would like to seek fellow members (who had been to the ship) suggestions where the best places to enjoy during the journey. Will limit myself at the casino for 2 hours only (throughout the journey) and the rest is exploring, exploring, exploring......... Your suggestion(s) and recommendation is very much appreciated. Regards.

HI all My car was damaged quite badly and i was claiming own damage from insurance. Anyone got experience with the a/m workshop? To share.

M'sian in a coma in Shenzhen; two others said to have died KUALA LUMPUR - A 66-year-old Malaysian is among more than a dozen people who are in a coma after eating star fruits in Shenzhen province in China. Two patients have died at the Shenzhen General Hospital after eating the fruit. Tang Gon Seang, a retired assistant headmaster of SRJK © Kwang Hwa in Butterworth and his wife Teoh Hui Fong, 58, had gone to visit their engineer son in Shenzhen on Feb 18. On March 29, he passed out and was rushed to the Shenzhen hospital, where has been in a coma since. Mr Tang's brother-in-law Teoh Thian Lye, 55, said that at first doctors at the intensive care unit were baffled by his condition. Then, a specialist at the hospital asked Hui Fong whether her husband had eaten star fruits and she replied he had eaten some which he bought from a wet market there. 'The specialist then told her there were more than 10 people in the hospital, who also fell into a coma after eating the star fruits bought in Shenzhen. Two had even died,' said Thian Lye at MCA Public Complaints and Services Department head Datuk Michael Chong's office on Sunday. The family is seeking Mr Chong's help as they could not afford the huge hospital bill and want to bring Mr Tang back to Malaysia. The hospital bill is RM1,000 (S$431) a day after being reduced from RM5,000 a day. To bring home Mr Tang, they also require a medical report on his condition and the cause of illness to ascertain whether he could be flown back. However, the Shenzhen General Hospital has refused to give the report and only provided a note in Mandarin which stated that Mr Tang had suffered food poisoning after eating star fruits. The note added that Mr Tang suffered renal failure, high blood pressure, lung problems and breathing difficulties. 'The family is in a fix. They hope the hospital can reduce the fees,' said Mr Chong. He said they also wanted to warn other Malaysians in Shenzhen not to eat star fruits while there. Mr Chong said notices had been put up at the Shenzhen General Hospital warning people about eating the fruit. - The Star/ANN. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_229531.html

As topic, any one uses these tires, & have any feedback, good/bad. Also any one know where to get this at best rates. Spec of Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec Its classified under Extreme Performance Summer tires. It will be serve as replacement for my discontinued Bridegestone RE010R. My friend actually recommended me Bridgestone RE11, but I think its more expensive (branding & Yen vs SGP) but not sure if its necessary better.

Taking starcruise to Melaka. Don't feel like joining their local package in Melaka. Want to go to the town area for makan and walk walk ourselves. How far is the ferry terminal to the town area and how much is the taxi fare ? Anyone tried before ?

The Arleigh Burke-class DDG will not be like a Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer, at least not for the time being, but the former's LAWS (Laser Weapon System) will be closest to the beam weapons the Star Destroyer posses in the movie I guess. It is still experimental but now ship-borne and apparently in working condition. Still only able to hit slow-moving targets like UAVs and boats but I think it is a matter of time they perfected it to shoot down high-speed jets and even supersonic missiles as well as the most dangerous of them all, the nuclear-tipped ICBMs. Check out the video clip which showed the fiery end of a delta-winged drone. From abc NEWS: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/navys-laser...ory?id=18908406 Navy's New Laser Weapon Blasts Bad Guys From Air, Sea By LUIS MARTINEZ (@LMartinezABC) April 8, 2013 John F. Williams/U.S. Navy The Laser Weapon System (LaWS) temporarily installed aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) in San Diego, Calif., July 30, 2012, is a technology demonstrator built by the Naval Sea Systems Command from commercial fiber solid state lasers, utilizing combination methods developed at the Naval Research Laboratory. No longer the fantasy weapon of tomorrow, the U.S. Navy is set to field a powerful laser that can protect its ships by blasting targets with high-intensity light beams. Early next year the Navy will place a laser weapon aboard a ship in the Persian Gulf where it could be used to fend off approaching unmanned aerial vehicles or speedboats. The Navy calls its futuristic weapon LAWS, which stands for the Laser Weapon System. What looks like a small telescope is actually a weapon that can track a moving target and fire a steady laser beam strong enough to burn a hole through steel. A Navy video of testing conducted last summer off the coast of California shows how a laser beam fired from a Navy destroyer was able to set aflame an approaching UAV or drone, sending it crashing into the ocean. "There was not a single miss" during the testing, said Rear Admiral Matthew Klunder, chief of Naval Research. The laser was three for three in bringing down an approaching unmanned aerial vehicle and 12 for 12 when previous tests are factored in. But don't expect in that video to see the firing of colored laser bursts that Hollywood has used for its futuristic laser guns. The Navy's laser ray is not visible to the naked eye because it is in the infrared spectrum. Many of the details about how the laser works remain secret, such as how far its beam can travel, how powerful it is or how much power is used to generate it. But Navy officials have provided a few unclassified details. For example, the laser is designed to be a "plug and play" system that integrates into a ship's existing targeting technologies and power grids. Those factors make it a surprisingly cheap weapon. Klunder says each pulse of energy from the laser "costs under a dollar" and it can be used against weapons systems that are significantly more expensive. The Navy says it has spent about $40 million over the past six years in developing the weapon. Rear Admiral Thomas Eccles, Navy Sea Systems Command, says the beam can be turned on instantly and that ultimately "the generation of power is essentially your magazine. It's the clip we have" instead of bullets. "We deliver precision with essentially an endless supply of rounds." Some new technological fixes, what Klunder calls "a secret sauce," have been developed to improve the degrading of lasers over distance as well as maintaining a lock on a target from a moving ship. The strength of the beam is flexible enough that at a lower intensity level it can be used to warn approaching ships and UAV's not to get too close to a Navy ship. Instead of using machine guns to fire non-lethal warning shots as Navy ships do now, the laser can be aimed to "dazzle" the viewing sensors aboard the craft. That light effect warns the pilot of a small water craft or at the controls of a UAV that they are being targeted by a laser and to turn away. If they don't, the laser's power can be boosted to destroy the approaching craft. Based on earlier testing the Navy is confident the laser is ready for real-world testing aboard the USS Ponce in the Persian Gulf. The ship was selected because of its mission to be an enduring presence in the Gulf to counter Iranian maritime threats in the region. Coincidentally Iran uses small fast boats to harass American warships in the waters of the Persian Gulf. How might Iran feel about the new weapon? "Frankly I hope it sends a message to some of our potentially threatening adversaries out there to know that we mean business," said Klunder. "This is a system where if you try to harm our vessels that I hope you will take a very, very serious moment of pause to think about that before you do it because this system will destroy your vessel or will destroy your UAV." The Navy wants the ship's crew to use the same techniques and methods they use with their other defensive weapons systems. While for now the laser will be used primarily against slow-moving UAV's and fast boats cruising at speeds of 50 knots, the Navy sees the system's capabilities expanding over time to target faster weapons. "There's absolutely every intention that with the development of this system and follow-on upgraded systems we will eventually be able to take higher speeds in-bound," said Klunder.

The race going to start in a few minutes time with Red bull on pole position with 2 Ferrari on the 2nd & 3rd position. Going to be a slippery race and some drifting on the race track.

Just curious about the objectives of the game, is it just to past time, or got some form of gambling, like win credit. Saw people of all ages playing, and got auntie running over to the counter to buy credits, very comical.

Dun misunderstand me. I trust the ratings absolutely. But so many ADs in Singapore are advertising their cars as 5-stars when the Singapore version only comes with dual airbags (the tests in EURONCAP come with full front, body and side airbags)!!! How many of you actually bother about safety when you are choosing a car? Example: http://www.euroncap.com/tests/nissan_qashqai_2007/290.aspx http://www.nissan.com.sg/lookfor/qashqai/qashqai_safety.cfm http://www.euroncap.com/tests/ford_fiesta_2008/333.aspx http://www.regentmotors.com.sg/vehicles/new-ford-fiesta/ There are more examples. VW Polo for example.. I'm not sure if it comes with 2 or 6 airbags. Check out VW website where they also mention 5-stars. Can complain to CASE?
