Angpow Culture

As chinese (or not pure chinese) married couples will give children and unmarried adults money inserted in red packets known as ang pow, as a gesture to mean that the recipient will enjoy a fruitful and wealthy life.



Angpows, there are many categories (in term of the cash contained inside).
If you are real close (son, daughter, daughter in law etc), you'll usually get the biggest which somehow averagely it range from RM100 - RM500. There are some richer family even writes cheques).
If you are somehow close, like cousin, you'll get the 2nd biggest amount, averagely range in between RM10 - RM100 and well it depends on how rich the family root is of course.



Then you have the RM5 (average), it's for distant relatives (which normally we see once in a year). And lastly, the RM2 for any passer bys that simply wishes you Happy New Year to get your angpows.

I wonder, how much will my boss give. Maybe RM10 :P

(above happens to Malaysian, in Hong Kong, it's totally different. Those who is real close, will normally get VERY NICE red packet which you have to BUY from stalls, and not free from banks, hypermarkets, and the kedai nombor ekor)

My First Home Post

Hah! First post from my home!

Happy, Contented, with the latest gadget at home.

Oh and by the way, PLEASE don't spend your money (and your free ticket voucher) on the 3rd Generation.
Unless you are very very 'mai-sun' type and you liked the number 3 very very much. And, i'm saying about 3 o' clock, 3 months later, 3 red-dye eggs, 3 mangkuk, 3rd of the month, 3 switches, 3 person on a dining table, you know stuff like that.

There's some law from the municipal that local movie shld be given the biggest hall in each cinema that plays the title.
Hence there are about 30 innocent souls in this almost 300 seater hall. It started ok until like 45 minutes later. Somehow 8 left the hall, and giggles were here & there till the lights on. Just because there's just too much of the number 3. No prize for guessing when the next 3 will appear.

And, the camera was sooooooooo still. It barely goes up above the shoulder, there's alot of anonymous performers. If above shoulder wasn't bad enough, there's alot of below the knee length, plus loud foot steps. So Wong Kar Wai stylo, only without delivering the meaning. The only good point i could get hold on is the setup and the props. Good job on that.

And Amber's chinese name is very the lou-tou leh.

First local chinese production. i hoped there will be more commercialised movie and more straight to the point. Malaysian can't understand deep meaning (or rather no meaning) movies.

Till then.

Hondata Fail

Hondata seem to be failed with all the error sensor coming out.
Sad case. Might be coz the AFC is interfering with the ECU.

Might test again next week and taking out the AFC.

But now lala-car is running with unknown chip from SotLee - the vtec chip copier since the last decade.

So far no rev cut, vtec opens when on idling rev, opens at 5,800rpm, initially feels lighter rev but can't really feel it after a day of driving.

Hope to see more difference when the road promises.

Anyone encounter such a chip characteristics pls inform. Thx

*****
Check this Bus Mini Seats out.

and initially i tot it was some bus mini seat. Really. But happened to be 1 of the cinema chain's couple seat. (some up north cinema chain)

means, when i was on bus mini long long time ago, i've been doing this couple seat with the ah-neh beside me!!!!!???

How can they approve such a seat? Never try sit and experience before ordering the seat to put it in the cinema hall and then charge the innocent victim another 4 bucks more? Talk about their senses.

If i to continue about them, i can bitch non stop, but i gtg now, stay longer means more work. Ciaoz

in another note, Fei sent her Canon Ixus for RMA because the LCD kaput-ted. In return, Canon loan her a replacement camera for-her-to-use-until-her-camera-fixed. And, it looks like the latest Ixus with 5.0mp, and Canon gave her the whole new box (which includes all cables, charger, battery, manuals, CD, SD-card, and the Ixus chassis itself in sealed packaging!) and ask her not too worry and treat it as your own camera.

Talk about service, this is what you call service.

To hell with the fujifilm (office camera), sent for RMA and never came back since decades ago.
It basically vanished. Prolly can take home for fun and no one even realize it.
