“You can tell a lot about a person by looking at the house,” says Amber Chia. And guess what? She’s right! From the selection of colours down to the interiors and decorations, Amber Chia claims that everything about her house represents her characteristics: warm, classic and modern.

That Amber Chia came from a modest background, grew up in a small town of Tawau and had little to survive when she first arrived in KL are nothing new. Amber has publicly spoken about these issues numerous times. But if you think she’s just another classic supermodel story, Amber begs to differ.

“The truth is,” she says, “I used to live in a modest squatter with my family, rented a tiny room for RM180 per month that I shared with a friend when I first came to KL and needed five hours to look for a dress because my wardrobe closet was too small when I finally had my first own apartment.”

All the hardship that she went through, however, never discouraged the young Amber. Struggling in the catty industry for years, Amber says her blood, sweat and tears were finally paid off the day she purchased her current house.

A trip to Amber’s 3-story linked house also taught us a few things about her. At least we now know that she is a homey girl, very fond of animals and likes to stay on top. Want to know what else she likes? Read on!

A Dream House
Amber’s corner-lot house is one of six linked units developed by UOA. It is a posh 6-bedroom linked house located on Jalan Halimahton, Old Klang Road, which she purchased in May last year for RM1.9mil.

“This is my dream house. I always wanted to have a house big enough for my family to stay under the same roof,” says Amber of her 4,300sq ft house.

A floor-to-ceiling poster of Amber's face (left) covers one side of the walls to create a dramatic effect to the high-ceiling modern living room (right).

Amber currently lives in the house with an older sister, two younger sisters and three dogs. If everything goes as planned, her parents and brothers will move into the house soon.

The ground floor of Amber’s house consists of a kitchen, a dining area, a porch and a barbeque area, as well as a high-ceiling living room with a floor-to-ceiling poster of her face covering one side of the walls. A floor up, there are three rooms, each occupied by her sisters, and a small living room with two tempting massage chairs.

Amber’s favourite, however, is the third floor. The third floor initially consisted of a regular room, a master bedroom and a balcony. But Amber decided to knock through a wall separating the two rooms and turned one of the rooms into a spacious walk-in wardrobe for her clothes, shoes, accessories and bags. The balcony next to the master bedroom has also been turned into a modern, mini office.

“So I’ve got my bedroom, walk-in closets for my shoes and wardrobe, a bathroom and an office on the top floor,” adds Amber, “I like to stay on top, both in the house and in career, no less!”

Moving Forward
Ever a tough cookie, Amber Chia is destined to be successful in life. With more than 300 magazine covers, countless commercial gigs, an autobiography book and relentless publicity over the last decade, you can be sure that Amber Chia has the most recognisable face in this country.

A high-profile dispute over a franchised modeling contest, Ford Models’ Supermodel of the World Malaysia 2009, jolted Amber back to major headlines last month.

Amber, who eventually won the right for the show, is currently busy rounding up the show. She is the show's executive producer, head judge and franchise holder. Sitting alongside Amber in the judging panel are fashion aficionado Gillian Hung and noted fashion photographer Azrul Kevin Abdullah.

Amber, whose 10-year modeling experience has brought her to New York Fashion Week and the vibrant Taiwanese entertainment industry, is determined to find the perfect model from Malaysia to compete at the final Ford Models’ Supermodel of the World in January 2011.

Right Location, Right Investment.
Ever since moving to KL 10 years ago, Amber says that she has been living in Old Klang Road.

“I like the fact that Old Klang Road still holds that small town charm despite located in the middle of KL and PJ,” Amber says. According to Amber, her house sits at the most strategic location in the city.

Nestled between the bustling streets of Old Klang Road and Mid Valley Mall, Amber’s neighbourhood is surprisingly serene, with a little Buddhist temple and an orphanage home just a stone’s throw away.

But surely many would assume a supermodel of her calibre would have lived in a luxurious, downtown condominium, instead of living in a rather low-key area.

“My mother does not like to live in a condominium. I want her to eventually live with me,” she comments, “I, too, personally prefer landed property to condominium, as I would have more chance to mingle with the neighbours,” Amber explains.

From experience, Amber learns that there are two things one needs to consider when buying a property.

“First you must make sure that the location of the house would not impede you from your daily activities, or else you will be exhausting yourself driving from one point to the other,” Amber suggests.

She also adds that it is important for buyers to consider the reliability of the developers. A golden advice indeed.

Nampaknya sejak kebelakangan ini buat duit dengan GDI makin rancak dipromosikan oleh ahli-ahlinya di Malaysia. Namun, masih ramai yang tidak faham mengenai GDI ini dan mengangap GDI juga salah satu program MLM baru yang menular di Malaysia.

Sebenarnya GDI bukanlah MLM tetapi GDI ini ialah satu perniagaan affiliate dengan menjual domain .ws

Bermodalkan dengan hanya 10 USD (RM35) anda boleh menyertai perniagaan ini dan akan diberi satu domain dengan namapilihananda.ws tapi anda perlu tahu bahawa $10 ini bukan sekali bayar tetapi perlu dibayar setiap bulan untuk domain yang kita beli. Pendek kata perlu bayar lebih kurang RM35 setiap bulan.

Maksudnya produk GDI ialah domain dah nama pun global domain international bukan nak jual handphone pulak macam yang korang jual di mudah.my tu ;p

Bagaimana pula dengan pendapatan yang akan diperolehi?

Setiap ahli baru yang join bawah link affiliate anda akan diberi komisyen sebanyak $1 setiap bulan selagi mana ahli membayar sebanyak $10 setiap bulan untuk domain tersebut.

Pembayaran komisyen dibayar melalui paypal atau pun cek. Jika menggunakan paypal minimum payout $10 dan minimum payout untuk cek sebanyak $25.

Masalah akan timbul untuk anda jika berminat untuk join Perniagaan Internet sebegini kerana anda perlu mempunyai akaun paypal atau kad kredit atau kad debit kerana ini sehaja medium yang ada untuk membuat pembayaran pada setiap bulan untuk domain anda.

Note: Tiada Credit card / Debit Card bukanlah masalah disini kerana banyak bank telah memperkenalkan Debit Card mereka sendiri. Maybankard juga boleh digunakan untuk pembelian secara online sekarang. Anda juga boleh memohon Debit Card di Public Bank hanya dengan deposit minimum RM20 sahaja dan boleh berurusan di internet, dan yang terbaru ini adalah CIMB Bank. Mereka juga telah mengeluarkan Debit Card mereka sendiri tetapi saya kurang pasti samada Debit Card CIMB Bank ini boleh digunakan untuk transaksi di internet ataupun tidak. Tetapi kemungkinan besar adalah boleh kerana fungsi Debit Card dan Credit Card adalah hampir serupa cuma yang membezakan Credit Card dan Debit Card hanyalah apabila anda ingin menggunakan Debit Card, anda kenalah mendepositkan sejumlah amount tertentu (Jumlah RM yang anda ingin gunakan) ke dalam account Card Debit tersebut sebelum anda boleh menggunakannya untuk membuat transaksi di Internet / Online ataupun apa apa urusan pembelian bukan online.

Pandangan Seseorang yang bukan ahli GDI.

Kenapa perlu GDI? bukan kah beli domain di godaddy lebih murah hanya $10 untuk setahun dan bermacam-macam website boleh buat ? Kalau setakat 1usd tu buat duit dengan google adsense lebih dari $1 usd boleh dapat bukan ?

Pandangan orang yang join GDI.

Kalau beli domain di godaddy kita tidak boleh buat perniagaan. Domain dengan GDI juga boleh buat website yang kita inginkan dan letak google adsense pon boleh. Menggunakan domain dengan DGI juga anda tidak lagi perlu risau tentang hosting.

$1 jika seeorang kalau, 100 orang dah dapat $100 sebulan.

Setiap perniagaan internet ada baik dan buruk dan bukan semua orang akan berjaya buat duit dengan google adsense dan ada orang tidak tahu apa-apa pun mengenai SEO,blogging berjaya buat duit dengan GDI.

Yang penting anda perlu tahu serba sedikit mengenai marketing. Isu halal haram pula mengenai GDI rasanya tidak timbul kerana GDI menjual domain dan setiap bulan dibayar kerana bayar domain seperti anda bayar domain digodaddy setiap tahun.

Anda boleh cuba dahulu secara percuma selama 7 hari dengan GDI. Hari ke lapan Barulah GDI akan membuat potongan dari card credit / debit anda. Itupun jika ada bersetuju untuk join biz ini.

Jika anda ada persoalan mengenai GDI boleh kemukakan di bahagian komen.

JAKARTA - Tiga daripada 11 penumpang sebuah bot kecil yang dipercayai rakyat Malaysia mati akibat kelaparan dan kepanasan selepas terapung-apung selama lapan hari dalam bot tersebut yang kehabisan minyak di tengah Laut Sulawesi.

Setiausaha Mukim Ogotua, Ilham berkata, mereka yang meninggal dunia dikenali sebagai Rosida berumur lingkungan 30-an, anaknya Arisman, 2, dan seorang lagi kanak-kanak yang hanya dikenali sebagai Jonathan, 16 bulan.

Lapan lagi penumpang diselamatkan oleh kapal nelayan menuju ke Tolitoli, Sulawesi Tengah setelah dijumpai terapung-apung di Laut Sulawesi pada pukul 10 pagi waktu tempatan semalam.

"Mereka yang menaiki sebuah bot laju kecil sedang menuju ke Tawi-Tawi, Filipina lapan hari lepas tetapi tersadai di tengah laut setelah kehabisan minyak ekoran gagal mencari arah tuju akibat kompas rosak," kata beliau seperti dipetik agensi berita Antara di Tolitoli.

Menurut Ilham lagi, selama empat jam mereka mencari-cari arah tuju Pulau Tawi-Tawi sehingga bot tersebut kehabisan minyak.

Difahamkan perjalanan dari Lahad Datu, Sabah ke destinasi Pulau Tawi-Tawi biasanya hanya mengambil masa sejam 15 minit.

BANGKOK: Newly crowned Miss Thailand Pongchanok Kunklub has pulled out of her country’s taekwondo squad for December’s Southeast Asian Games in Laos.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ahmad Najib Aris, the man convicted of the rape and murder of IT analyst Canny Ong Lay Kian (pic) six years ago, has exhausted all his legal avenues to overturn his death sentence.

The Federal Court’s three-man bench yesterday unanimously dismissed his application for a judicial review of its decision to uphold the death sentence in March, this year.

Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Justice Richard Malanjum, who sat with Justices James Foong Cheng Yuen and Heliliah Mohd Yusof, ruled that Ahmad Najib’s application did not meet the pressure of the Rules of the Federal Court 1995 to hear the case.

Ahmad Najib’s counsel, Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla, in his submissions said that there had been a miscarriage of justice on the grounds in the earlier Federal Court ruling when it dismissed his client’s appeal against his death sentence.

He contended that while the Federal Court’s judgment stated that it concurred with the findings in the case of Hanafi Mat Hassan v. Public Prosecutor, it had failed to apply its principle in this case.

Deputy public prosecutor Wong Chiang Kiat, however, argued that there had been no miscarriage of justice and that the application did not meet the threshold to warrant a review.

On Feb 23, 2005, the Shah Alam High Court sentenced Ahmad Najib, a former aircraft cleaning supervisor, to death for the murder and a further 20 years jail for raping Ong.

Ong was abducted from the Bangsar Shopping Centre on the night of June 14, 2003 and three days later, her charred remains were found in a manhole near a highway construction site in Jalan Kelang Lama.

A three-man Court of Appeal on March 5, 2007, affirmed the conviction and sentence.

In March, this year, a five-man Federal Court bench comprising Chief Judge of Malaya Arifin Zakaria and Federal Court Justices Nik Hashim Nik Ab Rahman, S. Augustine Paul, Hashim Yusoff and Zulkefli Ahmad Maki­­nuddin, unanimously held that circumstantial and forensic evidence proved that Ahmad Najib alone was responsible for the murder of the IT analyst.

ALI

MOSCOW - Majlis Mufti Rusia kelmarin sebulat suara menyatakan bahawa ayat suci al-Quran yang muncul dua kali seminggu pada kulit Ali Yakubov iaitu seorang bayi lelaki berusia sembilan bulan di wilayah Dagestan, selatan Rusia merupakan amaran tuhan kepada semua penduduk Islam di Rusia dan Dagestan.

Menurut kenyataan majlis itu, mengikuti perintah Allah dan meninggalkan segala persengketaan, mewujudkan keamanan sesama umat Islam dan dengan jiran, membersihkan diri daripada dosa dan mula mengamalkan prinsip kejiranan selain bermaaf-maafan menyebabkan penduduk Islam di negara tersebut akan mendapat keampunan Allah.

Menurut beberapa laporan, ibu bapa Ali yang tinggal di bandar Kizlyar di wilayah Dagestan dan kalangan imam tempatan mendakwa ayat suci al-Quran itu muncul pada hari Isnin dan Jumaat sebelum hilang dan digantikan dengan ayat baru.

Salah satu ayat itu bermaksud: "Allah ialah Pencipta segala yang ada.".

Apabila ayat suci seterusnya muncul, Ali tidak dapat tidur sepanjang malam dan mengalami demam dengan kepanasan badannya tidak dapat dikurangkan walaupun dengan menggunakan ubat-ubatan kuat.

Semasa dia dilahirkan, Ali didapati menghidap penyakit jantung dan berkaitan dengan otak tetapi dia sembuh sepenuhnya selepas ayat al-Quran mula muncul pada tubuhnya. - Agensi

TEBING BARAT - Bekas Perdana Menteri Britain, Tony Blair kelmarin diselamatkan oleh beberapa pengawal peribadinya daripada didekati oleh seorang lelaki Palestin yang menggelarnya pengganas semasa dia melawat sebuah masjid di sini.

Lelaki Palestin itu membawa sebuah beg dan sedang berdoa apabila Blair dan rombongan lawatannya memasuki masjid tersebut.

"Kedatangan dia (Blair) tidak diundang di tanah Palestin," jerit lelaki itu sebelum diheret keluar oleh beberapa anggota keselamatan Palestin.

Lelaki itu yang merupakan penyokong Parti Pembebasan Islam Hizbut-Tahrir dibebaskan selepas Blair meninggalkan masjid berkenaan.

Blair yang merupakan Utusan Khas Asia Barat Untuk Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB), Kesatuan Eropah (EU) dan Rusia masih mampu tersenyum selepas kejadian itu.

"Tahukah anda? Dia membuat protes dan itu sudah cukup memadai," kata Blair yang berumur 56 tahun kepada pemberita selepas lelaki itu ditangkap.

"Adalah penting untuk anda tidak selalu membuat andaian bahawa protes itu merupakan pandangan keseluruhan penduduk," tambahnya.

---

Jurucakap Blair, Matthew Doyle menyatakan bekas perdana menteri itu tidak berada dalam situasi bahaya semasa kejadian tersebut.

"Dia (lelaki itu) berada di kawasan bertentangan dalam masjid dan menjerit," katanya.

Kejadian itu berlaku beberapa hari selepas Blair didakwa sebagai penjenayah perang oleh bapa seorang askar Britain yang terbunuh di Iraq.

Semasa Blair menjadi perdana menteri, dia membuat keputusan untuk menyertai Amerika Syarikat (AS) menyerang Iraq pada 2003 untuk menggulingkan Saddam Hussein yang menjadi presiden ketika itu. - Agensi
