AVOID THIS SCAM: Who Viewed Your Facebook Profile?

Protect yourself from identity theft by being careful about what application you approve on your facebook page,
It's a rip-off
If we are gonna admit it, checking out if your page has been viewed by an ex-partner or your college sweet-heart sound exciting - at least it would be for me...
This is exactly what these advertisements on social networking sites say, plus they appear on your wall as if it has been sent to you by your friends - bad news is that it is a fake, not real .
What is the truth
"Facebook does not have that sort of function (at least not for now) nor do they allow such application", according to Simon Axten, a company spokesman. Trying to download and use those so-called applications and you would be potentially exposing information like email address, physical address and photos and everything about your account to scammers.
What can we do to protect ourselves
Do not click on those application whenever you come across them, never think that you'd be able to know people that have rejected your friend requests as some of these apps claim. Facebook has promised to remove some of these links in the future and in case you are in doubt
or come across any of these apps contact Facebook (facebook.com/help).

Limkokwing fires Dr Jayles Yeo !!!

At the time of writing this post, some of you may already have been aware that Dr Yeo - as he is widely known in Limkokwing University of Creative technology (LUCT), has left the university....rumors have it that he was fired by Tan Sri (Limkokwing) for giving scholarships to "ordinary" under-priviledged students,without authorization from the top.

LUCT is well-known for giving scholarships to very well priviledged students e.g kids of Ambassadors, Politicans, Malaysian movie and music stars e.t.c.

I do not have all the information about his untimely departure so if anyone knows let us know. I will keep you all abreast with the latest development on the issue.

testing.....testing

If blogging as they say is simply writing down (or online in this case) how one feels then I think, I wanna try. I have been to countless blogs, read so many of them - some interesting others ok lah...some scandalous and the others barely there, but in all, I have come to conclude that people just voice their opinions and views online over issues of their interest or simply things that they feel they wanna talk about. Having said all that, I wanna give blogging a try and so this is my "test" blogging (verb).

I am very passionate about things that I do and issues of my passion cover a large expanse of areas from politics to education, world affairs to religion.....everything I come to believe I have come to protect and so blogging for me would be no exception. So therefore we would see how things go from here.

I will therefore choose "python"to be my id, cos I am going to swallow facts whole and hopefully regurgitate them whole, as for the perspective at which I decide to tackle these issues that is another question but I am gonna say anything I want....tha hell !!! it my blogggg.

Take kia y'all be hearing from me soon.
