Famous 'cendol' in Taiping - Ansari Cendol

collection of:  http://jauhari-englishhomework.blogspot.com/
WHEN I was in secondary school, come Chinese New Year my family will go up to Taiping from Ipoh and celebrate the festive occasion with my paternal grandmother.

One of the highlights of the new year trip was visiting a hawker stall under a big tree opposite my grandmother’s house in Barrack Road.
The man who could count on us was the cendol man. He parked his stall outside a mamak restaurant.
My cousins and I used to pay 40 sen for a bowl in the 1960s. 
My younger cousin had a dislike for the “green stuff” so he almost always said cendol sikit, ais banyak (more ice and less ingredients).
That was just fine with the cendol man as the price was the same.

The cendol stall was located near the King Edward School and St. George’s School.
It was also walking distance from the Taiping railway station, and so many people knew about this cendol man and became his regulars.
This Chinese New Year cendol ritual continued for decades until my grandmother passed away 18 years ago. But I have not forgotten the hawker or his cendol.

This cendol trader trekked into the 21st Century, carrying on
business at the same place but it was no longer under the big tree.
It moved into a building behind it and is called Restoran Ansari Famous Chendol.
The business is now in its third generation of Abdul Kader, the original cendol man, who emigrated from India. Abdul Kader started selling cendol in the 1940s.
His stall was located along Taiping’s Main Road (now called Jalan Taming Sari) behind a restaurant called Bismillah. Consequently, it was nicknamed Bismillah cendol.
Before the Second World War, a bowl of Bismillah cendol cost between one and three sen.
When Abdul Kader was too old to carry on, his son Abdul Rahman took over.
Business continued to flourish. There were always people who were hankering for a bowl of ice-shavings sweetened by brown sugar or gula Melaka as the locals called it, mixed with cendol (green noodles), red beans and coconut milk.
If you prefer, pulut (glutinous rice) is another option.
The family recipe wasn’t a big secret or complicated. The trick was to mix the right portions of each ingredient.
The decades passed rather quickly. Abdul Rahman too called it a day. His two sons have since taken over the family business.
Ansari is the name of the older boy. His brother Ibrahim is the co-partner.
The cendol business in Barrack Road forged ahead without missing a step, even though there are other stalls in Taiping.
The Ansari cendol is reportedly the oldest cendol family in town. They have been in business for nearly 70 years.
Prices for the variations of cendol begin at RM1.10 for the ordinary bowl to the top bowl with red bean and glutinous rice cendol at RM1.60.
Of course, there is also pasembor sold by a separate stall in the restaurant. For RM2.60, you can have your plate of pasembor and a bowl of Ansari cendol to wash it down.
The Taiping Ansari cendol has become a tourist attraction of late. Even the Taiping Tourism Office has given due recognition to its popularity.
There are eight to 10 tables but the flow of customers is constant, so business is good.
There’s a distinct richness to the taste of Ansari cendol.
Personally, I prefer “everything” and that means, red beans and pulut.
Decades ago, everything was done manually but these days even the ice-grinder is automated.
No more labour is involved except in lifting the ladle to scoop the brown sugar and cendol into each bowl.
Ansari chendol is at 92, Jalan Barrack. It operates from 10.30am to 6.30pm.
Five framed news articles about this well known cendol stall on the restaurant wall gives due recognition to its status.
The clientele too is a good mix of people from all walks of life.
Ansari cendol which began as Bismillah cendol will continue to cruise on its prosperous track in that quiet Taiping corner in years to come.
The constant stream of customers even way past lunch time is proof that this cendol stall may well enjoy better days ahead.

Richest Man in Malaysia 2011

KUALA LUMPUR: Business Times CEO of the Year 2010 Datuk Seri Stanley Thai has made it into the list of Malaysia's 40 richest individuals, a Malaysian Business survey reveals.

The magazine, in its Feb 16 issue, listed Thai, of Supermax Corporation Bhd, as a newcomer to the group, together with Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum of Mah Sing Group Bhd and Datuk Tan Heng Chew of Tan Chong Holdings Bhd.
The magazine said the combined wealth of Malaysia's 40 richest tycoons has risen by more than 30 per cent, spurred by the bullish stock market and an expanding economy.

They were worth RM206.27 billion as at Jan 21, compared with RM156.7 billion a year ago.

It says there are more billionaires this year -- 27 of them, an increase of five from last year.
Robert Kuok, who returned to the sugar business last year, still tops the list at RM50.04 billion and telecommunications tycoon T. Ananda Krishnan remains in second place with RM45.78 billion.

Public Bank's Tan Sri Teh Hong Piow moved to the third place with a fortune estimated at RM12.77 billion while fourth is IOI Corporation Bhd's Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng who is worth RM12.74 billion.
Genting Group's Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, unchanged at No. 5, has RM10.89 billion while Hong Leong Group's Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan takes the sixth spot with RM10.75 billion, up from RM7.09 billion previously.
In seventh place is Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary of the Albukhary Foundation, whose flagship is the DRB-Hicom Group. He is valued at RM8.84 billion.

Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong's widow, Puan Sri Lee Kim Hua, unchanged at number eight, has RM7.43 billion while Tan Sri Tiong Hiew King of the Rimbunan Hijau Group returns at No. 9 with RM4.77 billion.
Singapore-domiciled Ong Beng Seng claims the 10th spot, with his wealth doubled to RM3.98 billion, going past Berjaya Group's Tan Sri Vincent Tan who drops two rungs to No. 12.
Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's son, Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir, of Kencana Petroleum, is ranked 19th with RM1.665 billion.

CHEVROLET ORLANDO is coming to Malaysia

collection of:  http://jauhari-englishhomework.blogspot.com/
Naza is keeping its promise to bring as many models from the Chevrolet stable to the Malaysian market by offering the Orlando Crossover/Multi Purpose Vehicle in the second half of this year.

Built on the Chevrolet Cruze platform, the Orlando takes ad­vantage of its passenger car roots and promises to be an innovative, spacious, versatile and exciting people carrier.

Naza Quest, the official distribu­tor of the Chevrolet brand in Ma­laysia said, the Orlando is a seven-seater based on the Chevrolet Cruze (sedan) platform with a crossover styling that appeals to a wider range of drivers.

The chunky cross­over styling, which includes a slightly raised ride height, will certainly help the Orlando to liter­ally stand out in a crowd of people carriers.

"Consumers' response to the intro­duction of the Chevrolet Cruze last year gave us tremendous confidence that the Malaysian market is ready to welcome the Chevrolet Orlando.

"With its versatility and unique crossover qualities, we have no doubt that this will be the new MPV of choice for discerning, family-orient­ed customers," said Datuk SM Faisal Nasimuddin, joint group executive chairman of NAZA Group of Compa­nies.

Chevrolet's departure from the typically 'rounded' design for people carriers and the assertive use of a bold and boxy theme gives the Orlando an unmistakable silhouette.

The sweeping roofline and tapered rear gives the Orlando visual strength and stability and complements the bold-chromed Chevrolet corporate grille to create a strong and distinc­tive face.

Globally, Chevrolet is offering three trim levels and three fuel efficient en­gine options; a 1.8 litre petrol engine with 141 horse power output and two diesel versions (both 2.0 litres but dif­fering in power generation - 131 hp or 163 hp).

 The Orlando is not only stylish but also safety-conscious and oc­cupant protection starts with a stiff body structure, airbags and self-unlocking doors that are activated upon impact.

 Versatile seating combinations en­able families to configure the Orlando according to load requirements. The second and third row of seats can fold independently or in tandem to create a completely flat load area.

Both the left and right outer seats in the second row have a tumble fold capability which improves passenger access to the third row.

Numerous small compartments within the cabin provide an abun­dance of handy hideaways for nick-nacks. The most distinctive storage feature is hidden behind the front fas­cia of the stereo. This is ideal for plac­ing items such as sunglasses or wallets and with a standard auxiliary jack and optional USB port for MP3 and iPod connectivity, the car is designed with convenience and practicality in mind.

Naza Quest has not given any price indication for the Orlando but we understand that it will likely go head to head against popular Japanese compact people carriers such as the Honda Stream so we can expect the pricing to be competitive for this seg­ment.

CHEVROLET ORLANDO

CHEVROLET Orlando tidak berkompromi dengan aspek keselamatan.

SELEPAS lapan bulan melancarkan model sedan Chevrolet Cruze, anak syarikat Kumpulan Naza, NAZA Quest Sdn. Bhd. kembali memeriahkan pasaran automotif tempatan menerusi model terbaru edarannya, Chevrolet Orlando.

Chevrolet dijangka memperkenalkan MPV tersebut pada penggal kedua tahun 2011. Dibina berdasarkan kepada model konsep yang mula-mula dipamerkan pada tahun 2008, Orlando merupakan jentera berkapasiti tujuh tempat duduk.

Ia menggunakan platform sedan Chevrolet Cruze dengan gaya yang menarik. Orlando pasti menjadi satu lagi alternatif kepada pengguna yang mahukan sebuah kenderaan untuk seisi keluarga.

"Maklum balas orang ramai sewaktu pengenalan Chevrolet Cruze tahun lalu memberi keyakinan kepada kami bahawa pasaran Malaysia bersedia untuk menerima Chevrolet Orlando. Dengan kualiti dan versatiliti, kami percaya ia akan menjadi MPV pilihan buat pelanggan yang mementing masa berkualiti bersama keluarga," kata Pengerusi Eksekutif Kumpulan Naza, Datuk Wira SM Faisal SM Nasimuddin.

Reka bentuk luaran Orlando lari daripada pesaingnya yang gemar kepada bentuk lebih 'bulat'. Sebaliknya, Orlando mengetengahkan rekaan kotak yang kukuh dan kelihatan gagah apabila meluncur di atas jalan raya.

Bahagian hadapannya disempurnakan dengan rekaan trademark sebuah Chevrolet iaitu gril radiator yang dipisahkan oleh lencana Chevrolet berwarna emas.

Di pasaran global, Orlando ditawarkan dengan tiga pilihan enjin. Enjin petrol 1.8 liter berkuasa 141 kuasa kuda dan dua versi enjin diesel bersesaran 2.0 liter. Enjin itu berupaya menghasilkan kuasa sehingga 131 atau 163 kuasa kuda.

Bagi memastikan setiap perjalanan bukan sekadar menyeronokkan, malah selamat, struktur tubuh Orlando dibina menggunakan besi berkualiti tinggi. Ia juga dilengkapi dengan beg udara, selain teknologi perlanggaran terkini. Antaranya, pintu-pintu Orlando tidak akan terkunci secara automatik sebaik sahaja ia terkena impak perlanggaran.

IMEJ maskulin Chevrolet Orlando mampu memikat mereka yang ingin mendapatkan sebuah MPV.

---

Kombinasi tempat duduk yang versatil membolehkan penumpang mengubah kedudukannya berdasarkan keperluan mereka. Ruang dalaman Orlando yang luas menawarkan beberapa konfigurasi tempat duduk.

Kerusi di baris kedua dan ketiga boleh dilipat sepenuhnya bagi memberikan ruang kargo yang luas dan rata. Penumpang juga boleh menyimpan pelbagai barang di ruang-ruang kecil yang disediakan.

Kenderaan yang berorientasikan keluarga itu bakal tiba di semua bilik pameran Naza Quest di seluruh Malaysia tidak lama lagi. Pastinya, kehadiran Chevrolet Orlando berbaloi untuk dinantikan.

Facebook friend costs lecturer RM30K

 A COLLEGE lecturer lost RM30,000 after getting acquainted with a man who claimed to be a doctor on the social networking site Facebook,Kosmo! reported.

Pahang commercial crime chief Supt Zaini Jass said the victim, 49, got to know “Dr Bruce Burn” from the United States on Jan 7.

When they were communicating, the “doctor” told her that he was based in the United States and was looking for a companion to settle down with.

He further deceived her by saying that he was prepared to settle down in Malaysia after marriage and would be coming to the country to meet her.

However, Supt Zaini said a man, who claimed to be a customs officer, contacted the lecturer and told her that the “doctor” had been arrested at KLIA for carrying £25,000 (RM121,567) that was not declared.

“The victim then paid RM30,000 to free the man,” he said, adding that she lodged a report after she discovered she was conned when the doctor did not show up at her house.

I want to be a millionaire - by blogging.

collection of:  http://jauhari-englishhomework.blogspot.com/ 

OVER the past few days, I’ve been receiving messages that more or less say, “Wow, you’re a millionaire!”.

Some were of course written in jest, but people are generally curious if it was true that Malaysian bloggers are earning RM1mil a year, following an article in a local Bahasa Malaysia daily.

Blogger Mira Abu Bakar – or RedMummy as she is more fondly known – was quoted in the article as stating that she had earned up to RM12,000 a month from her blog.

I’d be so lucky to earn that much.

Mira had told me before that five-figure earnings is more the exception, rather than her regular earnings. Unsurprisingly, the sensational headline got local cyberspace all abuzz.

After the initial tweets and status updates about wanting to earn that much as well, others started questioning the accuracy of the RM1mil figure.

Fiona Jitab (http://me.zestful.org), on her blog, asked: “Was it accumulative of all the bloggers? Or one blogger over the course of XX years?”

Another blogger, K. Azwan (http://www.az1.me/blog), also had similar thoughts.

“Being a blogger myself and knowing how blog ads works, I figured that 1mil is an accumulated amount from hundreds or thousands of Malaysian bloggers. One blogger can’t really make 1mil,” he wrote.

Both bloggers, and many other active social media users, predicted that the headline will cause an influx of people taking up blogging with the hopes of making extra money on the side.

The truth is that it is possible to make some money from one’s blog, but there is no guarantee of how much a blogger can earn from hosting advertisements.

In Malaysia, the most conventional way of making money from one’s blog is via banner advertising. Some people go out to look for their own advertisers, while others sign up for blogging communities and advertising systems like Nuffnang (www.nuffnang.com.my), GoogleAdsense (www.google.com/adsense)and Advertlets (www.advertlets.com).

Through Nuffnang and Advertlets, bloggers might be offered opportunities to write advertorials, which usually pay more, rather than relying on banner click-throughs.

There are those who make money from endorsements. These bloggers sometimes spend months and years building a brand before they are offered such deals. Then there are those who leverage on their popularity from blogging to make money from other sources – writing, emceeing and modelling among others.

If you’re a newbie who wants to make a bit of extra pocket money from blogging, it is still possible. Here are some tips:

1. Focus on your blog content. Like any other media, content is king and you need to give readers a reason to keep coming back (usually this is material that interest and is relevant to them).

2. Maintain your readership. Advertising is really all about the numbers, and higher readership would naturally translate into more earnings.

3. Publish relevant advertisements. Most bloggers make money via banner advertising (they make money when a reader clicks their advertisements) or advertorials. If you run advertisements which are relevant to your readership, chances are, your number of click-throughs will increase.

4. Join a community. It is hard for bloggers – newbies in particular – to find advertisers on their own. Consider making money via Nuffnang and Google Adsense to start off with.

5. Be patient. It sometimes takes years to start making money (it took me almost eight years of blogging before I earned my first RM50 from Nuffnang). Former radio personality, actor and author Patrick Teoh tweeted last October that he barely made over a couple of hundred ringgit with six months of advertising.

Most importantly, don’t aim for the RM1mil. There’s no way of telling for sure if anyone has actually earned that much (unless you can get it out of the Inland Revenue Board, who might have the figure based on tax declaration from online earnings, as is required by law – yes, bloggers pay tax too!).

azizi ali - pilot, coach, motivator, author, FLP and MILLIONAIRE!

Azizi Ali, 48, is as versatile as it gets. A pilot, publisher, property investor and coach, author, qualified financial planner – or to put it succinctly an all-round entrepreneur. A voracious reader (he reads three books in a week!), unsurprisingly Ali credits his success to his healthy appetite for knowledge. He quips, “The more books on money matters that you read, the wealthier you will be. This is not just a tagline. It is the truth. I wish somebody had told me that 30 years ago!”

Most of us would’ve heard of Confucius’s quote, Choose a job you love and you will never have to work for a day in your life. Ali is a fine example of “living” that advise. His five-figure income is derived from his passion. As he puts it, he does not have to work but finds no reason to retire from doing what he loves. He says, “I only do things I like in my life. I like to fly. I like to write. I like to speak. I like business.”

StarProperty.my chats with the high-flying Ali about his passion for money matters, his successes and a music business that cost him RM100,000.

Tell us about yourself. How did you start in property investment?
When I started my career, despite being hardworking, I only made little money. I did not have any financial knowledge and was broke most of the time. This went on for about four years. At that time, I was about 20 or 21 years old. I started my career very young. I am a pilot by profession.
