How to Have Megan Fox Hair



How to have Megan Fox Hair
- Megan Fox Hairstyles

Megan Fox is the latest sexy lady to catch out eyes on the big screen. Men want to date her and girls want to be her and with her reportedly being the new edgy chick to take over from Angelina Jolie’s once rollercoaster type role, it pays to show attention to her style!
2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Megan Fox Hair

One thing that everyone seems to notice with regards to Megan Fox is the fact that her hair is super glossy and super sleek. This is not down to a thousand and one styling products but more to do with really great conditioned hair and the best way to recreate this is to leave your hair without washing it for as long as you can to allow the follicles to produce enough of the oils to get it rejuvenated again. There are plenty of hair accessories that you can use to cover dirty or greasy hair so why not give it a go and get glossy hair like Megan?
2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Megan Fox Hair

Megan Fox has naturally black hair so to have the perfect Megan look then ideally your hair should already be this color or at least a very dark brown. You can always dye your hair to get the perfect look. You will also notice that her hair is worn usually down and long, almost more than halfway down her back.

With this length there are some long layers cut in to give the hair style a little bit of shape and this also makes the hairstyle a lot more manageable.

Great Britain Pound Story

Pound sterling banknote is one of the strong currency in the market. Recently it price has been going down (today I check the price is RM5.16 ; Ringgit to Pound) because of the economic slowdown. The full, official name, pound sterling, (plural: pounds sterling) is used mainly in formal contexts and also when it is necessary to distinguish the United Kingdom currency from other currencies with the same name. Otherwise the term pound is normally used. The currency name is sometimes abbreviated to just sterling, particularly in the wholesale financial markets, but not when referring to specific amounts; for example, "Payment is accepted in sterling" but never "These cost five sterling". The abbreviations "ster." or "stg." are sometimes used. The term British pound is commonly used in less formal contexts, although it is not an official name of the currency. A common slang term is quid (singular and plural).

There is some uncertainty as to the origin of the term "pound sterling". Some sources say it dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, when coins called sterlings were minted from silver; 240 of these sterlings weighed one pound, and large payments came to be made in "pounds of sterlings". Other references, including the Oxford English Dictionary, say a sterling was a silver penny used in England by the Normans, and date the term to around 1300. For more discussion of the etymology of "sterling" see Sterling silver.

The currency sign is the pound sign, originally ₤ with two cross-bars, then later more commonly £ with a single cross-bar. The pound sign derives from the blackletter "L", an abbreviation of Librae in Roman £sd units (librae, solidi, denarii) used for pounds, shillings and pence in the British pre-decimal duodecimal currency system. Libra was the basic Roman unit of weight, derived from the Latin word for scales or balance.

The ISO 4217 currency code is GBP (Great Britain pound). Occasionally, the abbreviation UKP is used but this is incorrect. The Crown dependencies use their own (non-ISO) codes: GGP (Guernsey pound), JEP (Jersey pound) and IMP (Isle of Man pound). Stocks are often traded in pence, so traders may refer to pence sterling, GBX (sometimes GBp), when listing stock prices.



Some of Pound banknote in my collection is old 1982 £1 pound and current £10 pound. £1 poundis in green color and using Sir Isaac Newton as a historical character. It also have a watermark of Sir isaac Newton. I have been reading that a new coin pound is been used to replace this pound and I still don't have any in my possesion yet.


For me, £10 pound is one of the most beautiful banknote in this world. I love the overall design of this banknote. The banknote is using Charles Darwin as the historical character. When I try to edit the front of this banknote, I keep having a reading error that bring me to this website Banknotes & Counterfeit Deterrence. Look like this banknote is one of banknote in this world that have been using counterfit deterrence system (CDS) and it has some rules and regulation on reproduction of this banknote.

10 pound security feature:

Metallic thread - the thread is embedded in the paper in every banknote. This appears as silver dashes on the back of the £10 note. If you hold the note up to the light, the metallic thread appears as a continuous dark line.

Watermark - hold the note up to the light and you will see an image of the Queen’s portrait. This can also be viewed from the back of the note.

Hologram - there is a hologram on the foil patch on the front of the £10 note. If you tilt the note, the image will change between a brightly coloured picture of Britannia and the number ‘10’.

Medium Hairstyles in 2009



Medium Hairstyles in Year 2009 - Medium Bob Hairstyles Will Be In!

In the upcoming year, medium hairstyles will be seen less and less. As we move forward into difficult economic times, the world of hair fashion will respond this stressing environment by adopting and popularizing more extreme hairstyles.
2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Medium Hairstyles

Scene hair will become the norm, and it will be longer. The Emo hairstyle will begin to venture out of the gothic nightclubs where it was born and start to appear at some red carpet events. Medium hairstyles will still be a widespread choice, but they will become more teased, tousled and twisted as the hairstyling world looks for hairdos that stand out in a crowded and hyper-competitive field. Thanks to the flexibility of the medium hair length, some of the most popular medium hairstyles today are based on a look that was initially designed exclusively for short hair, the bob!
2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Medium Hairstyles - Bob Hair

In 2008, so many of Hollywood’s most attractive stars went with bob looks. Stylists were forced to stretch the basic definition of the bob to create enough individual looks for their clients. The result of this popular embrace of a short look is the lengthening of it! Stylists inverted the bob and tried other versions of the bob hairdo that required medium length hair. The models for the look were happy to oblige, and now the medium length bob is extremely popular! It looks fantastic on faces with delicate and balanced features, too. Medium length hair remains a versatile basic option, but despite this valuable characteristic, it will have to fight for a place in the sun during 2009.

Bermuda Triangle; from pound to dollar

Have you ever been reading about urban legend The Bermuda Triangle? The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared or are alleged to have disappeared. Some people have claimed that these disappearances fall beyond the boundaries of human error or acts of nature. Bermuda have one of the most beautiful Queen Elizabeth II paper money in this world.

The Parliamentary British Colony of Bermuda, situated in the western Atlantic Ocean 660 miles (1,062 km.) east of North Carolina, has an area of 20.6 sq. mi. (53 sq. km.) and a population of 61,600. Capital: Hamilton. Concentrated essences, beauty preparations, and cut flowers are exported. Most Bermudians derive their livelihood from tourism. The British monarch is the head of state and is represented by a governor.

Bermuda was discovered by Juan de Bermudez, a Spanish navigator, in about 1503. British influence dates from 1609 when a group of Virginia-bound British colonists under the command of Sir George Somers was shipwrecked on the islands for 10 months. The islands were settled in 1612 by 60 British colonists from the Virginia Colony and became a crown colony in 1684. The earliest coins issued for the island were the ”Hogge Money” series of 2, 3, 6 and 12 pence, the name derived from the pig in the obverse design, a recognition of the quantity of such animals then found there. The next issue for Bermuda was the Birmingham coppers of 1793; all locally circulating coinage was demonetized in 1842, when the currency of the United Kingdom became standard.
The pound was the currency of Bermuda until 1970. It was equivalent to the British pound, alongside which it circulated, and was similarly divided into 20 shillings each of 12 pence. Bermuda decimalized in 1970, replacing the pound with the Bermudian dollar at a rate of 1 dollar = 8 shillings 4 pence (i.e., 100 pence), equal to the U.S. dollar. In 1914, the government introduced 1 pound notes. In 1920, 5 shilling notes were introduced, followed by 10 shillings in 1927 and 5 pounds in 1941. The 5 shilling note ceased production in 1957, with 10 pound notes introduced in 1964.

Prior to changing to the dollar, the Government of Bermuda had not issued its own coins, other than commemorative ones (the Bermuda Crowns), since the 19th Century, at the latest. In the 20th centuries, its pound notes were issued in all denominations (and the only coins used were UK ones). In 1970, the government introduced dollar notes in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 dollars. From 1974, the Bermuda Monetary Authority took over paper money production, introducing 100 dollars notes in 1982 and 2 dollars in 1988, when the 1 dollar was replaced by a coin. 1970 dollar notes are all printed with Bermuda Government across the top. Later notes substitute Bermuda Monetary Authority. In 2008, it was announced that banknotes would be redesigned in celebration of Bermuda's 400th anniversary, the first redesign since the launch of the dollar. The new designs were described as "distinctly Bermudian", with Queen Elizabeth II being relegated to a minor position. This new banknote will be out in 2009.

Slain Toddler said "I Love You" till the end

Did you remember the slain toddler dubbed as "Baby Grace", who was found stuffed inside a plastic container and floating in Galveston Bay in 2007? If you do then you will surely be horrified by her story. She was beaten to death by her own mother and step father. The 2-year old victim, Riley Ann Sawyers, pleaded to her mother and step father to stop brutalizing her, but this didn't stop them.
During the opening statement of district attorney Kyla Allen for jurors, the day that she said Riley Ann died for forgetting to say "please" and "yes, sir."

Allen said that on July 25, 2007, Trenor and Zeigler disciplined Riley by whipping her with a belt, pushing her head against a pillow and holding her head under water. She said Zeigler grabbed Riley and tossed her across the room, fracturing her skull. An autopsy concluded the skull fractures caused her death.

"To the very end, Riley said, 'I love you' to her mom. She's reaching out," Allen said. "That's her lifeline, to her mother. What does Kim do after hearing her say I love you? She starts beating her."

Allen said the adults did nothing to help even as Riley lay dying.
This story got me depressed. Taking the life of an innocent and helpless child is just so maddening!

Great Britain coin; Maundy money


The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, located off the northwest coast of the European continent, has an area of 94,227 sq. mi. (244,820 sq. km.) and a population of 54 million. Capital: London. The economy is based on industrial activity and trading. Machinery, motor vehicles, chemicals, and textile yarns and fabrics are exported.

After the departure of the Romans, who brought Britain into a more active relationship with Europe, it fell prey to invaders from Scandinavia and the Low Countries who drove the original Britons into Scotland and Wales, and established a profusion of kingdoms that finally united in the 11th century under the Danish King Canute. Norman rule, following the conquest of 1066, stimulated the development of those institutions, which have since distinguished British life. Henry VIII (1509-47) turned Britain from continental adventuring and faced it to the sea - a decision that made Britain a world power during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603).

Strengthened by the Industrial Revolution and the defeat of Napoleon, 19th century Britain turned to the remote parts of the world and established a colonial empire of such extent and prosperity that the world has never seen its like. World Wars I and II sealed the fate of the Empire and relegated Britain to a lesser role in world affairs by draining her resources and inaugurating a worldwide movement toward national self-determination in her former colonies.

Maundy Money is a special British coinage given to deserving poor people in a religious ceremony performed by Anglicans on Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter. The present-day Maundy ceremony has evolved over the centuries and bears little relationship to the original rites to which it owes its origins. A fundamental aspect of the original Maundy service was the washing of the feet of the poor, which has its origins in Jesus' washing of the feet of the Disciples at the Last Supper. In early ceremonies, senior clergymen would wash the feet of lower clergy, while in other ceremonies, the washing would be done by someone higher up the hierarchical order.

King Edward II (1307–1327) seems to be the first English monarch to have been recorded actively taking part in the ceremony, although King John (1199–1216) is said to have taken part in a ceremony in about 1210, donating small silver coins to the poor. King Edward III (1327–1377) washed feet and gave gifts including money to the poor; the practice continued regularly, with the participation of the monarch, until 1698. Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) was one of the most successful English kings of medieval times. ...

Although the monarch did not participate personally, later ceremonies continued in which a selection of people were given Maundy money consisting of silver pennies totalling, in pence, the current age of the monarch. The washing of feet ended after the 1736 ceremony, until it was re-instated in the 2003 ceremony, when it was performed by the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams.

In 1932, King George V agreed to take part personally in the distribution of the Maundy money, while the 1936 set was distributed by King Edward VIII, although the coins bore George V's effigy. By 1953 it had become normal practice for the monarch to distribute the Maundy money, a practice which continues to this day.

Knowledge of the Hidden

I really have this weird inkling about paranormal phenomenon or something that is considered as The Occult. Though people have an obscure notion about this thought, but really, I believe that there is something beyond what we see, feel, and perceive. Don’t you just love the thrill and fear that could engross you when you are in scenario where everything just seems to be wrong, weird and unexplainable? The sudden cold whipping your body, shadows playing in the corner of your eyes, or whatever that is beyond your intrinsic senses. There are just so many things in this world that seems to be mystical like ghosts. Do you believe in ghosts? Well, if you ask me, my answer is a big YES. Some would say that they are just products of wild imagination. But I think this is the common answer from people who cannot produce any explanation about it. Escape goats, I should say.

AJMIR Sdn Bhd Money Changer, Jalan Tun H.S Lee


Last place I visit for my 17 January 2009 hunting trip is Ajmir Sdn Bhd Money Changer. Their shop is located at Jalan Tun H. S Lee, beside metro bus stop. It is also near Jalan Yap Ah Loy and Lebuh Pasar Besar where you can find Maybank and RHB bank. They were open everyday from 10.00 am until 7.00 pm everyday. You can contact Mr. Nawab at 019-2795555 or 03-20705555.


They have another shop just near this place and I only gone to this place twice. I don't realize I have been doing business with them for over 3 years now. Only realize that after looking at the banner in front of their shop. They have many old banknote for sale but mostly Malaysia banknote. On that day, they have one Brunei 100 ringgit for sale at RM300 price. They also have some Malaysia uncut banknotes sale at a bargain price (I don't collect uncut banknote). They also selling Malaysia RM50 commemorative Commonwealth banknote at RM120 which is cheaper then market price RM160. They also have 3 running number Malaya & British Borneo banknote (kapal layar) for sale at RM90 per piece.

I want to buy some of coin in their collection (world coins) but need to wait for the owner to come and bargaining the price with him. All the coin already put in their different continent and country in boxes and I can see some old coins in there. I am not keen on the waiting part and maybe will try to asked them again in my next trip there.

Antique Shop-Syarikat Tai fat heng-Jln Tun H. S Lee




Some people may not realize that there is one antique shop that sell banknote and coin along jalan Tun H.S Lee. Syarikat Tai Fat Heng has been around for over 50 years. This shop is just so near to Central Market and Kotaraya building. It is also the same row as where Petaling Street or Chinatown should be. They open their shop everyday from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm.


This is my hunting trip on 17 January 2009. This shop Sell many antique coins at a bargain price then most antique shop I found in Kuala Lumpur. Last time I found many Strait Settlements coins in this shop but in this trip I can only find one strait settlement coin. I don't realize that this shop also have a medal for sale until I come back and look back at this picture. One of my frequent buyer is a medal collector. Maybe will be checking them out again on my next hunting trip.


I cannot see any banknote during my visit here. Last time, this shop got some Malaya & British Borneo rare banknotes up for grab. Since I am not the only one looking for banknotes & coins, I guess someone already buy them all. This uncle keep looking at the street every time I take his picture. I also forget to asked for their phone number and their name. If you want to visit this place, just remember to used the same road from Pasar Seni LRT Station to Petaling Street and keep looking at shop on your right.
