After browsing through the ACheapSeat site, I wonder if it possible to do the same over here. Inside the site, searching for event and seat availability is really easy… and for the cheap tickets too. It’s just like searching and booking for a cheap airplane ticket and then choosing your seat right from the web.

I know in US there are thousands of stadiums and halls with thousands of sports and musical events happening everyday… buying hot tickets like Wells Fargo Center Tickets, Chicago Theatre Tickets, Los Angeles Lakers Tickets, Jeff Dunham Tickets, and Jerry Seinfeld Tickets will not be easy… Imagine the stadium capacity is in tenth or hundredths of thousands… how long will be the queue like?…

So the best solution for ticketing will be to do it online… it is fast and cheap process… not just for booking and buying tickets but getting the best and cheapest deal around. As a ticket buyer, if you are chasing for cheap tickets, you can’t possibly do that by driving from one tickets seller to another just to compare prices… it will be cool if someone can compile the lists of ticket prices and then tell or just sell us the cheapest tickets for an event… That’s exactly what ACheapSeat doing… It will be nice if the same service can be extended for events over here… maybe not… coz there are  not many events happening here everyday… excepts for movies tickets… 😛

A row of shops at Tamparuli town which was build during the colonial-era was burned down early yesterday, 9 December 2008. It was in the newspaper today and also in some blogs. The fire started from a jewelry shop around 5.30am.

Mrs. Lee, the third generation and who has a 20-year old son (forth generation) operator of the Lok Hing Coffeshop, said they lost everything in the blaze. Reading through other’s blog about their memories with the shops before it gone makes it more touching…

Officer-in-charge of the Tuaran Fire & Rescue Department, Mazlan Sarman, praised the six local volunteers who were part of the volunteer fire brigade who did whatever they could to control and put down the fire.

Police do not suspect any foul play but are investigating. The cause of the fire is not know yet but suspected by a bad electrical wiring or equipment.

Why electrical equipment? According to a report, most of the recent fires are caused by electrical equipment. And these cheap and low quality electrical equipments are believed imported from China.

Public are advised to use only certified (by SIRIM) electrical equipments although they are more expensive. If you notice lately, we are flooded with all kind of cheap stuffs from China. These cheap stuffs include electrical equipments, eyeglasses, toys, cloths and many more…

The economy is not good right now… cheap stuffs are the choice. But we have to be selective when we want to get something cheaper or at low quality…

The simplest rule is: if it using electric and/or generating heat, try not to buy and use the low quality although it is cheaper… do value your life.
