Potong Conman

2008-02-14T17:34:00.002+08:00

The Potong Saga was due for 1000km service. Infact is was way overdue. Anyway, IT IS compulsury to include X-1R Engine Treatment and Magnetrap (it sounded like the DIY magnet on the filter to trap the residue to me)

It's like when you drive in to petrol station, and you are required to pump V-power because your car is new, and there isn't a choice for you to retain the warranty given.

In relation to image above, as i was trying to hang my clothes (obviously so that it'll look presentable and not crumple), i found out that there are missing passenger support, both sides (left/right). Talking about budget cars, they might as well as exclude all doors or make it dashboard-less to save cost the next round.

Post CNY Updates

2008-02-12T11:10:00.000+08:00

4 days prior to CNY, and the line is 1 hour long to get the Daging Salai from Jalan Sultan. It came with pre-order paper for faster service too.

And for good deed, we (that's me & me mummy) actually bought Friskies for the cat that doesn't belong to us. They so happen to live outside our compound, and like to pee on my bike.

OK back to work, and i'm darn sleepy.

Hong Kong Part 6 of XX

2008-02-06T13:26:00.000+08:00

It's a sale it's a REAL SALE. Seriously.
Still looking for this model in Klang Valley. I need to proof myself right that watch is definitely hell lot cheaper in HK.

I loved my new taifus
And my final purchase in Disneyland! The pictures with Mickey are really overpriced.

Happy Chinese New Year Folks! I have enough clothes till next CNY

Hong Kong Part 5 of XX

2008-01-24T15:22:00.000+08:00

OK i'm gonna keep this short, 14 pairs of socks for HKD140, (with further 10% discount with HSBC Credit Card)
And went crazy in the Hard Rock Boutique. I really really liked the Hard Rock Headphone T.

Went rounding in HK Station and stumbled with HMV. So i got 2 magazines, Total Film & GT.
Bossini storewide discount made me crazy, and i've got few M&M's T, an overcoat (which makes everyone turned their head and think it's something wrong with me whenever i wear it in the mall back in KL), kinda like that feeling.

And i finally managed to buy something from esprit. On the 7th day. I've gone crazy and HKD1000 poorer. Can never imagine i got an esprit membercard from HK as the outcome.

But really, it's a bargain. I got a shirt, and few clothes here & there, 2 pants for HKD 299 each, (that's about RM130). I went checking the price in KL and found the pants are new arrival, selling RM229. Shit, that's RM100 savings per pants.

I'm losing track on the things i bought already.

Hong Kong Part 4 of XX

2008-01-24T09:43:00.000+08:00

Alright let's check out my 4th day.

I'm getting bored with shopping already. Legs doesn't belong much to me anymore.

And so this time i went to Temple street, after I've finally getting the boot I've been eyeing for even in KL. 30% off on this Timberland boot. HKD 679, (that's about RM313), Timberland KL is selling it RM499!!! Shit i'm so proud.

What's in Temple street, nothing much, stalls, and people. I've got back few fridge magnets and a road plate. no joke.

Cheongsam blouse, waiting for my belly to go smaller, oh and i'm so proud of the Nazi Hat. Damn it.

And and and.. i found out some real bargain from HK, i'll talk about it in next post

Cheap Car, Cheap Standard

2008-01-18T09:58:00.000+08:00

The protruding plastic part of the car seat hurt my leg. And, for going in & out of the car for 3 times, it's already bruised. This came in factory fitting. So i can rant all i want. Any idea what car is this?
And seriously, who's the clever ass designer that decides to put BRIGHT BLUE STRIKING bulbs/interface for the meter? And who the hell sign the damn paper?
Try to drive the car at night, and all you see was blue lights. It is sooooo distracting that even if you dont look at the damn meter, its poking your eyes like a knife.

But anyway, the car is cheap, and it's not mine. I just thought that i could do a better job at these. I'd cry if i owe this car.

Malfunctions/Problem spotted on first day of driving.

1. Noise when clutch pressed half way. (Release/full clutch in is ok)
2. Buzzing sound as if i'm in a karaoke room, where the mic intefere's with the speakers
3. Blower air-cond switch that
a. cannot be moved freely as if there's spring holding it
b. functionless. No matter where it points, it still blow straight to your face.

Hong Kong Part 3 of XX

2008-01-16T11:01:00.000+08:00

On the 3rd day, the shopping mood had arrived!

Stop at Shum Sui Pou station and Apliu Streets for digital stuff (mp3, phones, cameras, binoculars, photography equipments) but what i found on the street markets are much more than digital stuffs.

I've got a 1:1 scale Glock (BB bullets) at HKD 40. That's about RM18 here, and it's illegal back in KL. Woo hoo!! Oh, and coincidence, i found a cross-shoulder gun holster (oh my gawd). Selling about RM25, it also can be found in KL for RM180.

And of course something for my car, something ah lian enough :P

Next, I went in the shops of Bossini, and i found M&M's 'bedazzled' T. Goodness. And they're throwing it away for RM30.

Hong Kong Part 2 of XX

2008-01-16T10:36:00.000+08:00

OK, so on my second day, i've done so much windows shopping, and bought 2 jackets. But that's about it.

Went to Citygate Outlets (Tung Chung Station). From Citygate Outlets, there's also cable car (Ngong Ping 360) that connects you to Big Buddha. When i was there about 12 noon, the line was about 2000 humans. That's about 3 hours of queue. So we went with BUS (45 mins duration) from terminal to the Buddha Statue. (Be warned it's windy and narrow road)

Back to Citygate Outlets, as the name says it, it's an outlets mall, Esprit, Timberland, Puma, Nike, Adidas, Giordano, Levis, Samsonite, but nothing catch my eyes. Shit, HK can't be that bad.

At night, it's Ladies Market night!

Hong Kong Part 1 of XX

2008-01-07T17:06:00.000+08:00

The magnificent famous Hong Kong Island view from Avenue of Stars. And i've finally bought something. I finally shop like how women does it. The feeling's good, before you see your credit card bill.

Facebook?

2007-09-14T16:15:00.000+08:00

Facebook probably have the most stupid sign up process i've ever encounter in my 10 years of internet life. I'm not joking.

It asks the less information from any other community, that's fine for me.

This is all they need.
Fullname: which you can't just key in LMF(cos it's not a fullname) you can't do a Kylie LMF (cos it's too many capital in my full name) and i have to settle it with Kylie Lmf. I'll explain the stupidness later.

I am: selection of in college/at a company/in high school/none of the above. If i chose i'm at a company, an work email address is required.

Email:

Password:

Date of Birth:

keyin some shit that hard to see to deter the webcrawler, sorry i dunno the correct term but it's like the computer generated web crawler etc thingy (it might my screen resolution but nevertheless, it's stupid and hard to read)

Click i've read & agree the T&C bla bla bla.

So i've key-ed in LMF in the first place, it's wrong, they don't let me proceed, and decided to kill all the previous information i've entered earlier (the email, password, date of birth shit. *tulan*

so i try again, Kylie LMF, it says too many capital words in my name, and killed the rest of the information again. *tulan tulan*

and i finally gave up i put Kylie Lmf and being fu*king tulan i forgot to click the -i have read & agree to the T&C shit. FU*K!
my information is CLEARED AGAIN and i have to reentered.

Being fu*king tulan now i wanna find out whats so great about this shit. When i'm there, i was asked to key in my email acc & password, and i know they wanted to extract my contacts from the email. (and no wonder i keep receiving invitation shit from ppl), so that's where the spam starts, coz your contact in your emails is already in their database) Now, i try to find some friends in there, didn't work via regional network (US/UK/Canada only).. what do i do? i'm stuck.

I'm not returning again. Friendster is fine for me.

Grass Racing Autocross Championship Round 3

The fellow friends who scratch the bumper & hit the curbs. Officially Curb Climber Club Member
Gone rime & a shaky bumper

My 2nd driver who is 3 seconds faster than me, in my own car.

2 podiums. 1 & 3 & fastest women. Earlier result actually shows that we got 2nd & 4th placing, damn bengang cos of him i have no podium. Some situation that i can change. So the next day we were informed that there were some mistakes with the results. The 1st placing guy was actually 10 secs more than what it annouced. So yeah. Our names all went up a spot.
Mat Rempits filled the empty car park when our event ends.

KFC now 24 hours

2007-09-04T14:03:00.000+08:00

KFC is now open 24 hours! OK, in SS6, Kelana Jaya (near the old giant) the KFC is open 24 hours. The bad thing is, there's no drive thru. I hate the hassle that i've to park & buy. And risk being mugged at night.

They also have free wifi, with the terms, Mon - Fri, 2pm - 6pm.

And i just found out the the malay spelling for PRODUK is actually same with english.

Jogoya - I'm outdated

2007-09-03T16:16:00.000+08:00

Jogoya was the best buffet i even been to. I must admit I'm not a buffet person. And this is my first time ever since their opening, in er.. in 2006? I like their wood divider. Shit this buffet restaurant it's like Ikea with great ways of dividing spaces. I finally went for the overpriced buffet because someone had some VIP card where we can eat VIP food.

Not so much of the VIP food anyway, the best is the King Crab & the Prawns on the rocks. Great oysters & mussels, loved the asparagus & the fishes. And i took the Haagan-Daz green tea ice cream, thrice! And I also hit on the pathetic small piece of tiramisu twice & also the quai lin kou. Yum Yum..

However, i think the best part was the ABSORBTION. I like spotting spelling mistakes. It's fun. (Actually it makes me flip the dictionary much more than i did in my primary years)

Streamyx

2007-09-03T16:11:00.000+08:00

Streamyx decided to blocked our website's IP. Streamyx actually block our whole office's most frequently visit IP.

It's just like, i can view A company's website, can't view my own website, and A company can view my website but not his own website. What the fuXX is wrong?

Countless call had been made the the TMnet's support, but the call end up being, we're providing support and the problem you are facing need techical support, our techical support has already file your complaint but there's no answer from the team yet.

I can't even go to google sometimes. It automatically redirects me to www.yahoo.com with answer to google when i type google.com in my URL box. Funny eh.
My MSN doesn't work too. It's either my MSN is ok but I won't be able to browse the web. Or my MSN is not ok but i can check out the websites. Today, its ridiculous because i can't do both. So much for 50 years of independance.

I have to steal my neighbour's wifi to get online.
Anyone wanna write me a letter for Malay Mail Hotline?

Motivation

2007-08-16T11:42:00.000+08:00

And what a lack of motivation means..
As you read this article you will start to understand why a lack of motivation is costing you even more than you realize.

As you read the story below notice how much you have in common with me...
Growing up I never really had much trouble getting things done. I was told what to do by my parents or by my teachers and I did what was expected of me because it was the easiest choice for me.

Getting punished never appealed to me very much.
Then as I got older and especially when I joined the workforce I could get away with doing less and with leaving things until the deadline approached.
In fact in one company where I worked it made no sense finishing work before the deadlines because management kept moving the goal posts.
And very often I worked with people who refused to stretch themselves. This culture of doing as little as you can and appearing to be productive slowly dragged me down.
Over the years as a result of experiences like these I developed bad habits.
One of those habits was a lack of motivation habit.
I can see now how a few bad choices in how I approached work affected all aspects of my life.
The same may be true for you...
What we did over the years was create bad habits that need to be given up and replaced with a new way of behaving.

Do you realize what these bad habits have cost you in your life?
1. You missed the sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction that comes with succeeding on a big scale.
2. You lost the respect of your peers and you are excluded from the winners circle.
3. You no longer feel in control of your destiny and in fact you are a victim of circumstance.
4. You earn far less than people of lesser intelligence and ability.
5. You worry about the future because you fear you may not be able to deal with things.
A lack of motivation is a bad habit you can and must change.

How true, I got the above from another blog, but i can't remember the URL anymore.
It's just another cloudy day, as always.

MAM Roadshow, Batu Kawan, Penang

2007-08-13T17:00:00.000+08:00

MAM's 2nd Road Show held at Stadium Batu Kawan, Pulau Pinang on 11th August 2007 (Saturday) at 6.00p.m. in conjunction with 'Program Sukan Malam' organised by the Ministry of Youth & Sports, Malaysia. There will be lots of activities including Autosprint Competition for cars. MAM stands for Motorsports Association Malaysia or you may log on to http://www.mam.org.my/

Few GRA members went to support the roadshow, there's few of us driving up all the way from KL.

This is probably my slowest drive ever. 80km/h all the way, started my journey about 10am, i've reach the island about 3pm. Half way in the R&R, my tyres became so rubberised that it looked it it just came out from Sepang.

Arrived at Stadium about 6pm, and darn there's a HUGE car park without curbs in between. Nice! But it's too sandy. By 7.30pm we've registered and got our comp number. The scrutt was kinda complete because they checks that all covers are tighten.
By 9pm we're starting our practise runs. So everyone rush to the line to get their turn. Some skipped, it was chaos as there isnt any proper instructions. Not long after, the practice run was held up because the spectators are standing too near to the circuit. After about hundred annoucement being made, the RELA guys are forcing them to step back. Seriously, i think they didn't understand, or the spectators didn't even know it's about them.

The practise run takes forever and, finally at 10.45pm, they are stopping all practise runs. My time did not appear in the sheet, but my 2nd driver have 3 names on the practise run time.
By 12am, there's no annoucement on when it's the start of the first timed run. There's nothing. Until 12.30am. 7 packed and preparing to go home. Left 3 of us, Charlene, Unker Champ and me. I went back to hotel after my first run. Only Unker Champ stayed after that. It ended around 2.30am, and finally the result is out. At 4.30am.

This is a completely waste of time, petrol, my tyres, everything. And the circuit, it's too sandy, the car is out of control everywhere. I wasn't going too fast either. I'm 10 secs behind unker champ.

Darn.

Finally, A Haircut

2007-08-09T20:49:00.000+08:00

6 months. 6 freaking months without a haircut. I was cursing since 4 weeks ago that i need one.

This would be the most satisfying haircut i've gotten. Something i've never dare to execute.

I'm glad i did it. Watch out for the new lala in town. The lala car will come next.

H for Hot

2007-08-04T20:29:00.000+08:00

This one caught me on surprise. In the morning my rpm was on the 2,000rpm. Suspecting something amiss i plan to make a trip to the mech when able. So by the night, i was speeding home. And while looked, this is what i got. Darn, so i drop the gear as i approach the wide corner, it goes down immediately. Now, talking to myself, it might be the fan not working hard enough.

Anyway, the reservoir tank was dry. And there's smoke. Even before that, the reservoir tank was giving problem. Upon checking, guess what, its neither any of the problem suspected.
My head was gone. I mean my head gasket is a goner. Leaving my radiator oily, and me basically transport breakdown. And so happen, i've got to go KLCC & Mid Valley on the same day.

Taking LRT to KLCC wasn't a hassle, just time consuming. And thinking how could i get to Mid Valley, it's either, make a stop in Bangsar & wait for bus/feederbus/cab. Or be a lil adventurous and try the KTM Komuter. Being lazy, i did the Bangsar stop. And then i realize i have 1 X 50 note. Nothing else. No change for bus fare, not too sure if bus takes Touch & Go, risk getting scolded by cabbie, i decided to call for backup. And 30 mins later, a friend came pick me up.

While i was stuck at the bus stop, i've given direction to 2 tourist, and 1 local. Not too bad yeah.

Yellowman Still Alive

2007-08-01T12:23:00.000+08:00

There's speculation about Yellowman died, out of campaign weeks ago. Curious enough, a look into DiGi's HQ revealed that Yellowman had gone for traning, to bring a stronger coverage to you. And to beat up the ah beng that talk on the phone in the cinema maybe. (as seen in major TV/cinema ad)

Check these proof out.

A group of overweight, teletubby Yellowman.
Under going training.

And here you go, the beefed up Yellowman!!!! With 3 signal. Now we hope the ah beng & the ah lian out there don't talk on the phone too much....

A spy video of New Yellowman Campaign.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCtt-kf6-hE

Meanwhile Yellowman bootcamp video is located here.

Yellowman Died?

2007-07-30T14:52:00.000+08:00

Apparently all advertisement on yellowman had been taken down and Digi Website doesn't have any trace of yellowman in sight. Then upon checking out the local papers, there's a petition going on to relive the yellowman. Goodness, the agency is so clever.

Came up with a teletubby yellowman and kill it, start a petition and there goes another marketing gimmick. Well done DDB

The creative dept. prolly create these cute videos too. It's all on youtube.

Check it out.

SkyBar

2007-07-28T23:17:00.001+08:00

Located on the 33 floor of Traders Hotel, just beside KL Convention Centre. It's something like Luna Bar, but with probably 4 times the amount of tables/couch available.

Overlooking the KLCC and Maxis Tower. Another view would be Prince Hotel and the forever busy Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Imbi.

Music ranges from Jamirouquai to the recent house music. But i believe there isn't any DJ spinning.

Well, if you planning a trip, its good to make reservation beforehand. And there isn't any cover charge at the time i'm typing this.

Parking, though it might be a petty problem. It's either on the white lines or park in convention centre. Or you may opt for the valet.

Enjoy your weekend folks.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

2007-07-28T12:15:00.000+08:00

This is what happened. It's office hours, on Monday. Harry Potter frenzy. She was kinda furious when we snatch her beloved HP7 adult cover story book and read the last few pages aloud.

Well Harry married Ginny. Now it makes sense why this actress it's always in the video frame but doing nothing. Maybe it's too petty to even notice her expression whenever there's talk about Harry & Cho, the girl that he kissed.

Talking about the kissing scene, that's a bad influence towards the kids who dun really understand. How's the conservative parents explain to the kids about that scene? How does the parent answer when the 5 year old kid ask the mum "mummy what is Harry Potter doing there?"

La Brassiere

2007-07-23T15:00:00.000+08:00

La Senza is my favourite brassiere store now. Being loyal for so many years to the brand T, it's getting more expensive by the day and lousier design by the night. La Senza, part of FJ Benjamin group is having sale now where for a usual RM129 per piece, you can now get the soon-gonna-be-out-of-season-brassiere (wait, who knows if you wearing last season's piece except your other half, which prolly won't realize anyway) in a heavily discounted price. 3 for RM180, that's a almost 50% discount.

Yeap.. girls, especially if you have the unusual-out-of-the-odinary-cup sizes, head to La Senza tonight after work (or school), you prolly able to still get your sizes. That's my advice.

GTI Outlook

2007-07-20T14:03:00.000+08:00

Someone reminded me that i actually have a blog. Yeah. Thanks Jesly. I stumbled upon your blog yesterday and i saw my link there.

Anyway, if i would like an update there will be few pages long, so let's skip that.

Saw the Hyundai Accent GTI Merdeka version. Gosh. What are they up to? Can a Hyundai transform itself to a Golf GTI? I mean, transforming the outlook itself to look like a Golf GTI it's not enough. They dun name their GTI for the sake of naming it.

And what's with the Suicide Door Accent? Soon we'll see the wannabes start sticking on the back of my boot because they are all so fast.

No Insurance

2007-06-15T15:08:00.000+08:00

Flash flood is mother nature. Right. Flood IS mother nature. Flash flood is because of POOR CITY PLANNING, dams filled up too fast because the dam is not deep enough, because of some clever tunnel.

Tunnel is not mother nature.

*I'm not affected by the floods yet, but where i live, it's 2 km from the newest tunnel in town that suppose to drive water away during rain, so the CITY WONT be flooded anymore. Not the other way round.

Sigh. When are we gonna improve? And when are we gonna stop buiding 1 building that costs few hundred billions only to keep fixing it.

Kill

2007-06-13T10:30:00.000+08:00

I wanted to kill the blog. But i have so much to rant about. Well i can't keep my mouth shut for SMART is being so smart. right?

Movie Carnival 2007 ended with a bang. This time we had too much stars appearance. And too little giveaways. Not little but harder to get free stuff.

Anyway, the picture above is my new toy. With original softwares.

How many does it takes?

2007-04-26T12:56:00.000+08:00

How many does it take to clean up a parking meter?

Coke Fans

2007-04-03T19:01:00.000+08:00

No joke. If you are a true coke collector head over to this shop in berjaya times square, to sell, to buy or even just for the sake of viewing.

Located on the 5th floor, above the borders side.

There's a fridge filled with coke bottles (not can) available at rm 2 each. Straw provided, just like when you're in the 80's.

Remember not to bring bulky bags. You don't wanna end up with broken collections.

Open Road

2007-04-02T20:40:00.000+08:00

It felt good when your monday morning jam disappears and you've been lead by 10 traffic polices, an volvo, a daimler. They basically stop all cars even there's 3 huge lanes.

I just hope my exhaust don't bother them too much. And i wish they could go a little bit faster because h've been tapping on brakes regularly. Its their grand mother's road anyway. 120 is good enough.

I wish they'll be there for me tomorrow.

Don't Stare at the TV

2007-03-30T17:03:00.000+08:00

Conclusion:

Don't stare at the TV too much.

Kids, don't watch TV it's it's not 30 feet away.

Don't on your TV so long.

And don't play with your PS3 too long. They need rest.

This happen to our colleague, at first we thought we was watching porn and the TV couldn't take it but in reality it blew up and fell of the stand. Just like that. The TV was off.

---------

Beware for those who drives. It happened a time and twice to a fren of mine. A middle age guy came, sounded like from China or Taiwan and approach you when you in the car asking for money due to his friend had left him (or never show up or any kind of similar reason) so you could give him your money.

Not too kinda sure what will happen next, will they actually jampi you or wat. I didn't wind down my window and i zoom off ignoring him. He walked to the next victim. Just beware. Mine happened somewhere in PJ, and my fren kena twice. Once at SS2 and just now at Kepong. Same technique. It's kinda impossible for 3 different person asking at 3 different place at 3 different time.

So please, keep your kind heart away this time. It just won't work in the society we live in.

Starbucks Anywhere

2007-03-27T00:00:00.000+08:00

Available at most 7-11 at only for sgd3.40. Very useful especially the starbucks doesn't operate 24 hours.

But i think this is not really frapucino cos its not blended.

2 minutes Noodle

2007-03-25T00:00:00.000+08:00

First, cook any available instant noodle like usual. Thats mean putting in everything that came with the noodle so that it won't be tasteless.

At the same time reheat your leftover soup. When the noodle is cooked, drain it. Pour the soup over and enjoy your instant noodle.

Karting Day

Been a while since i sat on that small cute mini no gear 4 wheelers.

Also found out that on every sunday there's a legal mat-rempit gathering showing off their superman and 1 wheelie skills.

It's kinda scary though especially there's like hundreds of kapcai in that area. [It's shah alam btw]

On average, my working hours has gone up to 12 hours. I've lost my social life, i've lost my time to enjoy a good weekend. If i did prolly will end up having troubles on my ass.

Hmm.. Interesting job, never felt so anxious facing with work and i definitely look.. depressed. Actually some of our colleagues too. And the bosses as well.

Oh, and i'm gonna be away next week for business trip. I wonder if i can actually walk the singkapoh with my heels whole day or not.

300

2007-03-07T00:38:00.000+08:00

Prolly the best pre-summer blockbuster for this year. Simple but excellent costume, white cloth with leather belts. Red cape and British India style sandals.

Men with six packs, its time to make it eight.

The red cape look extremely red. Just because they don't film it infront of the green cloth set, to enchance the cape color. The score is just perfect. Nothing boring, nothing much like alexander(if anyone chose to remember that movie)

So for those who really fancy gerald butler in very very little clothes (at a point he had none), time to reserve your tickets.

Back to black & white

2007-03-04T13:33:00.000+08:00

So for whatever reason my astro went back to the 60's. Just like TMnet the customer services God knows how long i've waited. And to talk to the customer service, there's millions of repeated advertisement, and at least they try to make me hang up by informing me there's X number of phone call ahead of me. (It's 16 calls ahead, right now)

As i've waited 12 mins they say they can't help me. Good. 1 million customers. Every technician visit is 50 bucks. Bad when there's only one guy monopoly the damn market

Cancel account

2007-03-02T19:42:00.000+08:00

I wanted to cancel the tmnet i have but i realise in any bill i have, there isn't any cancelation services.

But nevermind. I think i'll call their ever friendly customer service and hopefully i wont have to wait 20 and listen to their boring ringtone, or worse end up like the poor guy in youtube that try to cancel his at&t acc.

Btw, i feel like selling my mac, i really hav no time for it. But Maybe if i get a 42 inch lcd tv i could hook it up. Then i could watch the long awaited heroes without straining my eyes

Ouch!

2007-02-26T18:32:00.000+08:00

My HDD fails. I've lost my 5 years mails accumulated during my service in the company,

I've also lost all my favourites that give me access to the internal work web page with changgih leave approval system, leave application system, giving people free tickets system, to check subscribers & members system, all the contest winners list system, and whatever else system that available. Grrr...

Also lost all the bloggers URLs too (except that those on the right hand side right now)

Talk about 'not being lazy' and goes to work when everyone is off for CNY. This is what i get huh.

It's a sign, it's a sign. And I'm still talking about work. Damn it.
OK, and finally I'm watching Ghost Rider tonight. I hope Nicolas Cage would still look good.

Hmm.. I'll start going for meetings alone this week. Die die die. Sure kantoi. And kena squeeze left right center.

It's CNY again

2007-02-21T12:20:00.000+08:00

hmm what u did during CNY ah?
i sleep, wake up, lie on the sofa, TV surfing, sleep, eat, shower, became chauffeur, tired, eat, drink, sleep, go home, sleep, TV surfing. And every house got the same type of cookies. I'm gonna bring mine to office next week so it wouln't last till next years'.

Astro been showing crap shows like Alan Tam (and Hacken Lee) concert. Then 2-years ago this-and-that award presentation. Free TV had better choice though this year. At least there's 1 programmed that manage to keep me from switching away.

The cinema is packed, and Ghost Rider is almost sold out in every session. Go 1-U and maybe you'll take about an hour to find a decent parking after fighting with the old unker in proton saga.

I was longing or work since the first day on CNY. I get sick when i stay too long in the confined area. Must be lack of oxygen. (and hate being a chauffeur) But now, sitting on the desk, i wanna go back to sleep. My eyes sores, my back is pain.

Rempit got free bikes

2007-02-16T11:08:00.000+08:00

Right, so illegal bike racer and taiko on the streets that bullied and beating up road users will get free bike if they become a vigilante. Right. You guys can figure it out yourself.

Protege, Twins Mission & Dreamgirls

2007-02-15T16:07:00.000+08:00

No worries there will be no spoilers, because i know everyone will get so bored and will flock the cinemas during CNY. So here's some must, and must-not watch movies.

Protege was good, with superb good-cast, great acting, horrified scene (which looks like a horror movie), but it was abit slow. Don't really know what happened in the end. Did he became the whole druglord, or he continues to be the undercover, tumble the whole drug industry down? And there's 2 *chopped* sex scene which reflexes quite well.

* The last scene, it looked like it was from Bishonen.

Twins Mission, sorry it's not facinating. But there's combination of action, and a lil bit of laughter, not too stupid ones though. But i hate the ending. Kinda stupid. Especially the amazon-reptiles. But i'm sure this is a must watch for Twins fans, and there's a G-cup there. The plot is soooo boring. Go check it out. (when Dreamgirls, Protege, & Ghost Rider tickets sold out). Every 4 tickets purchased in Cathay will get a note book.

Lady Iron Chef. ok zipped. go watch it yourself. Go watch in GSC and get angpow packets.

House of Mahjong. Ok just laugh. if that's all you needed. And maybe can polish up your skills with your grandpa after watching it. movies about mahjong is so outdated. To-date there's at least 6 mahjong movie from HK. Boring.

Ghost Rider. Alot of folks got dissapointed with it. I'm gonna find out why on the 26th. Whatever i said towards the Penunggang Hantu, you guys gonna watch it anyway. Right?

Dreamgirls. i think this would be an amazing one. Adapted from the musical with the same name, badly publicised, or rather i dont see any publicity at all. If you like broadway musical or stage show, this could be your next fav movie after Ray. I'm watching this tonight.

**********
There's one idiot in a new car trying to extort RM150 from my colleague after she backed into him and cause 1/2 an inch of paint chip. Not even a dent. Idiot. If it's not the 'advertised' car my colleague is driving, prolly will get him to fly kite.

HSBC promo

2007-02-10T19:00:00.000+08:00

I think this promo is very successful by giving leftover (and cheap) freegifts with every 300 spent at the curve, ikano, and cineleisure. This week alone i've got 2 umbrellas, an emergency mobile phone charger, a pair of coke glasses, sim backup device. Now left to redeem the ugly car organiser and the coffee maker.

Prolly the curve was the best. There's extra lucky draw for spending 300. And i got coffee bean 25 ringgit cash card.

Now i think i better work my ass off to pay off the debts accumulated.

Yahoo! Seminar

2007-02-10T00:40:00.000+08:00

Was in Yahoo! Online Planning, insights and can't-remember-what-else seminar. Anyway it was in hilton and maybe its so stress that they give stress ball, a pretty nice note book, and a 3 inch thick media guide(not in picture).

And prolly from now on i'd be experiencing mobile blogging more. Sigh

Happy Bufday To Me

2007-01-26T14:13:00.000+08:00

Well, many who knows i hated cake. Because i have cakes every month, sometimes 2 per month.
So hehe my dear colleagues opt for KFC (YES!!!!) yum yum.

This year i probably got what i really wanted (all the while)
Let's check it out.
That's a Be@rbrick, a sandal that prolly will end up on my mum's leg. She love those. A bolster, and the sleepy cat. hmm.
Oh i like this fridge magnet photo frame too. Got 6 'cheap-coaster-that-you-can-find-in-any-pub' from Guiness, with some inspirational phrase on it. Came with discount voucher too, but no, i'm not really a stout drinker.
Much long awaited. I loved this shit.
This one came a day late. Specially wrapped with army prints.

WTF!

2007-01-24T17:20:00.000+08:00

ok i have to say this. I was in a meeting half an hour ago, and suddenly my phone ring.

S: Hello, are you meifoong?

Ish.. Seriously, is this kind of 'stranger' invitation is common? I dunno this Steven.

ok my next question. What car? How much the bet this time?

Chinese New Year

2007-01-15T12:16:00.000+08:00

Once again, the annoying music starts playing, right after the Xmas.
Other than getting angpows, probably there's nothing more enjoyable, except some mahjong & pokers maybe.

Oh ya, in M'sia, ppl used to get free angpow packets (red packets) FOC from hypermarkets, insurance agencies, departmental stores, banks etc. Heck, even Cinema Online got angpow this year.

But in other places like Hong Kong, they BUY their angpow packets. And how important are you to the angpow 'giver' are determined by the design of the angpow. So if you like your niece (or your next door neighbour's daughter' alot, you should be giving them VERY VERY NICE design angpows. [What's inside it's another story]

So, will you be getting angpow packet from Giant, Magnum 4D or Maybank?

Nice 3D Red Packets from Hong Kong. With gold dust borders around.

Look carefully. Only the first red packet is in 3D. The rest are just normal red packets.

2007 Calendars

2007-01-08T10:51:00.000+08:00

OK, first, my 19inch monitor had been downgraded to a 17". My WinXP is back to Win2000. (I know there are some Vista out there but pls, i'm still in ancient age)

In result, i can't PnP my camera to the pc to dwload instantly on my topics, hence i have no mood to update hence i'm finding i work better. (Yes i actually DO work)

Hmm.. during the end of Dec, i was looking for table calendars desperately. So i found one, with kinda nice tiles & interior display kind of picture la. Then on Jan 3rd, channel [V] calendar came dropping on our laps. It's nice. Really. With the DJs high photoshopped pretty faces and the outfit sponsored by this&that fashion label. Then, woah! i saw The Curse of The Golden ~~Cleavage~~ Flower Calendar.

I tell you, these creative/agency are getting really creative. Either that or the 'lou sai' there is getting VERY fussy.

What happened in 2006?

2006-12-29T16:20:00.000+08:00

This blog been running 2 years, going through 2 revamps and up-to-date there's 20000 (only) visitors.

What happened in 2006?

In 2006 i took up muay thai and i stopped after i've got no time to even take my dinner, i play some badminton as work out & for fun. I finally read some books, bought all flavours of Absolut Vodka, steal all sizes of Starbucks mug. And oh sake shooter glass too.
Been to holidays more than any year before. Shopped too much and bought clothes so much that it'll prolly last me a year or 2.

I started with kreteks (Sampoerna A mentol) and fell in love with it. Changed 2 hip phones in 3 months time. Go to karaoke and actually sings (sorry to all that suffer that night). Back in collecting paperbags, the hobby i stopped doing when i stopped shopping.

I met bloggers that never blogs. Test drive the whole new civic somewhere on the way to some pekan, and went on paper for that. Obviously i was a Tan (not Lee) on paper for some reason, which i don't really know. Maybe it's either, i'm Paul Tan's sister, of i'm her wife. But in reality, it's neither.

Met 2 person that inspired me the most. And i actually wanted to thank this person very much, because, if it's not because of you, i'd prolly still stuck here with zero, nil, nothing. For both work, and leisure. Did 1 (only 1) thing that maybe most people won't have the guts to do, or maybe no chance for such.

Finally burst my bubbles of 100% successful potray of calmness, resulting voice raising to a dear colleague. Catched (or caught ah?) 1 season of 24 (that's Jack Bauer you noob) in 2 days.

Proud because i finally participating in autocross and now i'm so addicted to it, got a lil bit of limelight at autoworld.com.my too. Lowered the car to the extreme, and raised it back 2 months later.

And, maybe just 1 more thing that i'm proud of, by getting the most expensive thing in my life.

Now, maybe it's time to spend a minute to think about my resolution. Something that i really wanted to do, and/or achieve maybe.

Till then, Happy New Year!!!! *Thinking hard for resolution*

Side note: I think some malaysian bloggers are so successful that some of their comment manage to go into The Star page 4 as a column.

Ranting (Mood Swing Post)

2006-12-28T16:04:00.000+08:00

There must be something wrong with me these few days. Nothing seem to be interested. Not movies not work, not internet, nothing. It gets even worse after lunch hours. All i want to do is just crash. And maybe get drunk. What type of alcohol you ask? To me it doesn't matter anymore.

I desperately need to get my car serviced before the coming new year so i can make it to the Sepang drive. But i'm so blardy lazy to do anything. Usually shopping could cure every women's mood swings. Mine can't. I have no mood to shop. I just wanna get drunk, on the air cond, tucked in the blanket and sulk.

I need to get new suspension. I need a very stiff-till-you-vomit suspension. But i still have a very large bill to clear. Everyone is asking for the damn increment. Where's mine? Did the theboss forgot mine when i fight for the rest of the team? Seeing what i did recently, it's not that i really need an increment, that but it's good to have. Who will decline one? I think i spent alot of time for work. Even after work. I watch movies after work, because i'm working. I spend money on sms because i was talking to the bosses. I hate going to the cinemas and looking at the showtimes, then i realized that i've watch every damn single movie. Damn it.

When will i be getting a team that will work based on logic. I don't want to be working with a piece of rock. I hate to repeat instructions over & over again. I hate making decisions. I made so much that i hate doing that after work.

And only recently i know that i look like i'm gonna eat the colleagues whenever they see my face. I didn't know i looked fierce. No wonder no one dare to ask me things. I wish i can scared the boss. Only if he's looking at me like the rest of the colleagues. How long could it be before i take over? And can i do that? I dunno. A colleague just got head hunted. And from our discussion it's probably we are not getting any share as promised, as least not so soon. There's still other shareholders that need to sign the damn paper.
But i think, i better not get it. I really duwan to blog another mood swing post every single day.

I need to get rid of this stupid mood swings. I need, my alcohol.

Alike?

2006-12-28T10:33:00.000+08:00

Did anyone watch Lucky Number Slevin?
Don't you think the storyline of Slevin is very much alike with the guy (Tony Leung) in Confession of Pain?

Family got killed, yadda yadda, revenge yadda yadda, cheats all the audience yadda yadda.

*****
anyone with heavy blogger interface modification changed to the new blogger -out-of-beta- yet?
I wonder if it will screws up.
Still reluctant to change.
*****

What can you do...

2006-12-26T14:32:00.000+08:00

is eat eat & eat during the holidays.

But i did more. I painted someone's grill.

And got myself 3 cats and a pair of black socks! Yes i need socks.
(Is totoro a type of cat? Cos it says Lung Mao in cantonese.)

Real Story

2006-12-19T13:54:00.000+08:00

Seriously, the excerpt below came from real story, almost real time happening.

I, sent a notice out to the rest of the staff regarding, Simple Xmas Dinner.

Date: 22nd Dec 06 (Friday)
Time: 3pm till late (late means
after dark)
Where: Address 1 from 3 - 6pm, Address 2 for BBQ,
6pm onwards

As usual, this year we gonna have a lil drinking session before the year ends, a little present exchange just to see how creative you guys are, and after 6pm, we gonna have prolly bottomless W's (Wine & Whisky) and soft drinks & also our FIRST BBQ above the OFFICE after 6pm.

First step: go get a gift that is no less than RM10, well it can worth 100s too if you are generous, wrap it up and place it under the xmas tree before 20th December.

Second step: Try to finish up all your work are done for the 22nd before 3pm.

Third step: Have some fun with the useless gift you get, eat, BBQ some chickens & sausages, get drunk etc.

Fourth step: Enjoy the coming LONG HOLIDAYS.

Fifth step: Be prepared to come back to work harder after the holidays.

Somehow, a department manager got a question back from a programmer regarding the dinner.

Programmer: I read only got bbq but I didnt know we will close and force all
peoples out.

So my boss, came out with a language in hope that he will actually understand what the email is about. Below is his language.

Wine Warehouse Sale

2006-12-18T17:48:00.000+08:00

This is what i managed to grab in a 20 minutes shopping spree with less than RM150.
Whee~ hik!.. hik!.. (DRUNK)

The Ticket 2

2006-12-14T11:09:00.000+08:00

Seriously, i think there's something wrong for people not paying the samans.

1st, i think i have a problem reading this Mr Traffic's handwriting. Gomen provide them the ticket book WITH A HARD CASE so they can write properly. But they don't. They like to scribble.

2nd, maybe that's why alot of the compound ended up in the officer's pockets, without proper receipt.

Or maybe i should wait for the 50% discount. Or the waran tangkap. Maybe they'll accept my excuse for not being able to read the handwriting. They shld be as efficient as the MPPJ/MPSJ that have handheld printer.

Can anyone figure out what is it written on the 2 cursive handwriting below? Cos i suppose to pay the compound before Jan 2nd, on this Balai that i dunno how to decipher the handwriting. If not i got to go to this Mahkamah that i dunno where cos i can't decipher the handwriting once again. Help!

Food Entry

2006-12-13T15:10:00.000+08:00

So all i did was EAT when there's no work. IF you have no where to eat, try the below.

Celestial Steakhouse International (CSI). Dataran Glomac, located behind Giant Kelana Jaya.Food was kinda slow for lunch though. So unless you are having executive lunch, maybe can try during dinner. Excuse given was to ensure the 'FRESHNESS' so food will only be prepared when ordered (maybe then they shouldn't have the word SET LUNCH. Had a Hoegaarden at RM15. That's quite expensive. And there's only 5% tax.
Nice food though. Will go again. My feast of a set lunch & beer cost about RM30
Oh, and all sorts of Tabasco sauce are available there too.

Sorry i really forgot the name of the restaurant because it was so good. It's opposite Spicy Kitchen Hartamas. Ground Floor. Red signboard. Japanese BBQ. Miso soup burning in paper, mashed potato with butter. Kim-Chim mushroom with butter. Pork & beef. yum yum. 4 person cost less than Rm200.

Mee york in Desa Aman Puri. The chili quite hot too. Different variety, with added lala, or prawn. For those not into chili, the herbal chicken mee is nice too.

Umai-ya Japanese Restaurant. Situated in The Place, Damansara Perdana. Too much food for 4 person, but we can't stop ordering.
Beef sushi, miso soup, temaki roll, salmon sushi, cheese chicken, soy sauce chicken stick, 'dunno-wat-soup, and dunno what sushi. Sorry was abit drunk with the hot sake there. It was good, just don't order too much next time. It comes up to RM200 for 4. Can't smoke inside though.

Seafood porridge, freaking big claypot!! That's the portion for 3 person. RM42. Recommended for small eaters to order 2 person's portion instead cos we can't finish it.
Located at PJ State, beside UOB Bank, at night there serves braised duck rice. During lunch time there's other stalls, incl this porridge. They only serve seafood porridge.

And during our porridge meal earlier, thought of the Seremban Ketam-Bakar. Just 1 hour drive from KL, exit at Seremban, when reaching Terminal 1 (Bus station & Complex) turn left at the traffic. Go straight till you see 'PUSAT MAKANAN SEREMBAN'. In chinese, the signboard mention about 'SIU-HAI' though. 2 crabs + vege + meat for 5 person is not enough though. Shld order 1 crab each. Anyway, the crab is nice cos of the honey on the shell. And the way the break the shell is amazingly good. Easy to eat. No hard peeling. Less than RM100 for 5.

Burp. Report ends.

Heineken Champagne

2006-12-12T11:42:00.000+08:00

OK i was such a whore. Was complaning about how damn expensive the Heineken celebration edition of the miniature draught & the magnum-champagne bottle earlier. And now i got it.

This weekend was a bang. And it's all about food (and shopping)
Year end sale is here, and it's time to get your CNY clothes to avoid the last minute shopping... again.

Heineken Barrel

2006-12-07T13:43:00.000+08:00

Remember i was in Langkawi and we drink like a fish cos we bought a 5L Heineken for only RM69. (what a nice number)

Then when i was sweeping by Jusco, i saw this!! I almost grab 2 barrel because i damn like the barrel, and i stopped, after i saw the price tag. RM179.90 baby!

That's like 3 barrels there in that island. Cheh. Even the 2L champagne Heineken (RM 59.90) is not worth it.

There, i think i'll stick to my remaining SingHa & Hari-hari Mau till the stock is low. Heineken still taste bad anyway.

Gridiron Gang

2006-12-06T17:14:00.000+08:00

Gridiron Gang. American football in jail. Enemy become buddies. Lost the game, some fights, some low morale, then win it back yadda yadda yadda. Resembles a movie starred Adam Sandler, The Longest Yard.

Only this one it's based on actual events. When the credits roll, there's short interview with some of the actual fellas.

Not something really great but looking at The Rock's face expression always make me smile.

Gridiron Gang, in cinemas 13th December 2006

---------
Love For Share / Berbagi Suami

Indonesian Indie Film that won quite a few of awards. It's 3 short stories about poligamy. Completely Indonesian production, got lots & lots of cuts with our censorship board here (note: go watch in Singapore) due to the second story is about threesome, and the 2 wives fall in love with each other after that.

Go catch how these 3 women define their fate. Limited releases in cinemas January 2007

The Ticket

2006-12-04T15:16:00.000+08:00

arrgh. so the other day i was passing by Traffic Jalan Bandar (KL city). I got flagged down by Mr. Traffic and then i was instructed to drive into the station. Hmmph. After checks and some talk i got a ticket. For exhaust emission and noise. He insisted that if i got flagged down by Jabatan Alam Sekitar my ticket will cost 1,000 to 2,000.

Ahh whatever it takes to get me off the station before more faults. Oh and the best part is, infront of me, there's a white Civic (EP) SI VTEC '02 got stopped too. I think her fault was dark glasses. And i see her parked her car to get it tested instead of receiving the ticket. Hehe. Oh well, i'm RM150 poorer.

And, can't really imagine that i DID passed 11 tolls on my saturday trip around the Klang Valley, say Cheras - PJ - Klang - Cheras - PJ. I was kinda amazed actually.

Oh ya, Harith, you rawked!!

Night At The Museum

2006-12-03T23:09:00.000+08:00

oh just a quick one on Cicak-Man
I remember reading back kennysia.com regarding not to combine English & Malay words on signages (or something like that)
Then what about our Cicak-Man?
----------
The other day i went for a survey screening of this coming soon movie Night At The Museum. Go watch it folks. It's not just another Ben Stiller movie. It's more than that. Prolly the history that I never even heard before.

Went i got the invitation, i heard my friend nagging, "why la in the morning 10am give free show? Give la at night wan."
And then i reply, yes you can watch at night, but first you can wait till it opens in the cinemas, then you can get your tickets by lining up half an hour at the box office to find out it's sold out.

Hello guys!! wake up. This is free stuff. And you watch it before anyone else, literally. So don't complaint.

Night At The Museum, starring Ben Stiller as the night watch, Owen Wilson as the Wild Wild West Cowboy, (which first appearance i thought this is gonna be the Shanghai Knights third installment) Steve Coogan as the roman gladiator (*cute) and of course Kim Raver (from the 24 series).

Catch the 26th president of The United States, Terracota Warrior, Columbus, The Mummy (which i think he's kinda cute too) and alot more pre-historical characters. In cinemas this Christmas!

2006-11-30T14:11:00.000+08:00

Muhahahar, after pastering friends to go hang out at Starbucks instead of the usual mamaks for like 3 days, i finally got my beloved 'prolly won't write anything on it' 2007 diary planner.

Cicak Man

2006-11-29T14:07:00.000+08:00

Cicak Man. I had a sinister smile when i heard the title. When we got the passes for the gala premiere, i was actually thinking twice about it.

So and then i went, Cathay was full of people. And characters. The whole setup was cool, KRU planned it well, prolly one of the best (in local) ever.
Professor Klon is now my favourite villian. His laugh, was amazing. And the best actor in it is prolly Jalaludin Hassan (Who Wants To Be A Milionaire host). Ginger boys (Matrix twins) wanna be, was.. a disaster. Maybe putting Saiful Apek was a disaster too.

Metrofulus, a city created for this, was fantastic, it's like 1950's London with cold weather and stuff. CGI classic cars, high rise but old school buildings, underground MRTs, cable cars and no such thing as handphones or gadgets. Oh and of course, there's a currency call Fulus, and the notes & coins are different. I like that.

Go catch Cicak Man. But pardon the actors (except Aznil), check out the settings of the movie, the CGI, the art direction and everything else. A truly remarkable production by the locals.

Cicak Man, in cinemas 7 December 2006

I'm Back!

2006-11-29T10:55:00.000+08:00

yee haw!!!i'm back!with new template new color and new images.After being absent for more than 2 weeks, there's so much to say.But i'll do it. 1 by 1.

Let's start with GRA. What exactly it is. It's somesort of carpark rally where you got to set your fastest time trying not to touch those -ice cream- cones in the process. Frankly, at once i agree to join after persuasion from Ken & Paul, well i was a little bit tipsy, balls got bigger (literally) and my entrace fees are covered.

And to cut the story short, there's a TEST RUN and 4 TIMED RUNs in the whole session.
During my first test run i was nervous as hell when i'm in the line ready to take the route. Then somehow, after that, i was craving for it. Finally got to get my gloves back to work, and try to dirty KY's helmet with my dandruff, if any. Tee hee.

Oh, and the best part is, i did my best time during the third run, after i had half a bottle of Hoegaarden.
I think i need to drink more. Result was expected. I wasn't last (yay!) but i'm not in top 10 as well.

And now that i got the hang of it, and was lucky enough (i hope) to get a year of engine oil sponsorship, can't wait for the next round to come.

So, any bloggers wanna advertise their URL?

Need to remind myself the car settings

OMG
Autoworld GRA Report[autoworld.com.my]
(check out some of the silly pictures of me)

[What is GRA?] www.grassracingautosports.com

This Grassroot thing is no longer a pleasure but a pressure. Most probably. Sigh.
I loan a full face from KY in hope that no one will recognise me. At least not before the run or anything.

But meeting more enthusiasts was really excellent especially Mr Julian & YSKhong himself.
Maybe i'll post the 'million dollar' picture with Mr Khong putting up the stickers for me. Hehe.

Till then adios, should be sleeping early tonight. And.. no sex. Yes, you heard me right. The fun should be concerntrated on tomorrow's event. Will keep posted on how many cones i managed to kill tomorrow.

Need to Read

2006-11-13T18:27:00.000+08:00

I need to read.

Picked up John Grisham's first Non-fiction, a true crime story actually.
Hopefully i get to finish it before the next Hari Raya, and then i can continue with this Bangkok Tattoo, another true crime story.
Was kinda facinated with Thailand actually so i picked this one. (No it's not cause of the Tiger show or Caberet show whatsoever)

Oh and so happen, i found this miniature wine(s) in a pack of 6. Great for wine tasting. Then can start comparing & choose which 1 to buy.

Google Search:
a gathering of people to taste and compare different wines

Prolly that's exactly what i wanted to do, only without 'gathering of people', i can't taste with with just 2 sips.

I still have a list of books that i wanna get, but prolly not now, and hopefully i'll totally forgot about it. Until at least i have a house that have enough space for a reading room, AV room, and an american pool table.
Hopefully it could all fit in there. Maybe i should be dining on the pool table. That'll save space for the dinner table.

Parking Drama

2006-11-12T11:27:00.000+08:00

Outdated Island Outtings during the last long-public holidays.

Some panorama from K800i. Check out the rain somewhere there in the middle.

Top Left: Cam Whoring
Top Right: Nice corners at Teluk Bahang. Now, where's my car?
Bottom Left: Birdie decided to do some cam whoring too
Bottom Right: I hope someone will roll over this & fall. It's nice when the rocks are filled with blood.

A temple in Penang, and with the amount of spotlights i got these days, i better be praying to all Gods and stop being a free-thinker. And i literrally wish the God will slap their mouth. Somehow. I wonder if they feel pain or not. Maybe not yet. He he.

I'm at a place where beer is cheaper than anything but of cos being stupid i ordered chinese tea.
(Happy Holiday!)

Selamat Hari Raya

2006-10-20T10:13:00.000+08:00

i doubt there's any Malay readers, yet so long this blog wasn't updated. Most of them prolly forgot this blog anyway.

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya!!

Oh, and for those who wanted to try the IKEA buffet, you can start looking for another choice of restaurant cos the line ends at the staircase to the ikea entrace.

Will not have time to update often as.. life changed, takes turn, and yeah, things like that. Wish list will be changed too. Those interested in giving some as token of appreciation can start saving up for it now. :)

Hand Job?

2006-10-14T13:53:00.000+08:00

www.evoucher.com.my
stumbled upon this page and found few offers are quite attractive.
then i saw this voucher.

What Hand Job??
What Dirty Alex??

I wonder if that's intentional. Great copy writing skills.

Blah

2006-10-10T09:04:00.000+08:00

Forgive me for not updating, or even checking the blog at all. Work are breathing up the neck and i think i'm gonna suffocate soon. But it's ok. Because it's all for one goal.
After slacking for like 2 years, I'm back on my foot. This time i'm aiming high. Yeah!

OK, don't ask.

Now let's check out Berjaya Times Square in the haze.

and when i send my LCD for claim.. i found out. Samsung tends to flick & no display. Common problem. Claiming will usually take 2 - 3 weeks.

And I won the Cleo/TNT Kickboxing 1 Month Unlimited Class. I'm gonna see if it's good, when i have the time :(

Big Sweep

2006-09-26T16:54:00.000+08:00

Anyone into big sweep? Tai Choy?

I remember when i was young, i helped my dad (and my mum) to look through the newspaper on the draw date to check the 7 magic numbers. And there's so many 7 magic numbers on the newspaper, and not to mention usually i have about 30 - 100 tickets to check.

Fast forward 12 years (or so) later. i've got this ticket from a friend and the wonders of internet.
Taadaa!! just type the magic number and you'll know if u are the winner. instantly.

I wonder who does check this via the net.

Magic Sponge

2006-09-19T16:01:00.000+08:00

http://magicsponge.biz/products/

As Wingz sponsor me some of his company products, i finally got chance to test this Magic Sponge.

Mum was complaining that my bonnet was stucked with some black stain that won't go off even though she scrub for 2 days. Those black stain look like some tar at first, but upon examining, i can feel that as if my car got scratches like that.
(sorry i didn't think i would write this review at first so i didn't take any picture of the stain)

I had this Magic Sandwich version and then i pour some water and start rubbing the bonnet. Wahlah... it's gone, 1 by 1. The weird thing is, even the scratches (light) nearby is missing. That keng meh...

So for more information pls go to the website above la ok.
Sorry ah i not promoting this but i used it and found out it's kinda amazing and ~~wingz ask me to write~~ i write review on it la.

Btw, these sponge can be purchased at most departmental store. I saw it in Home Fix DIY (1U New Wing), and if not mistaken, Jusco too.

~~Now Wingz, where's the rest of the magic sponge? u duwan let me test all meh?~~

Restaurant The Bird

2006-09-11T18:19:00.000+08:00

Situated at Bandar Menjalara this restaurant is surprisingly easy to find considering that i'll usually get lost in Kepong area.

From LDP (towards kepong) make a U-turn after the RM1 toll and turn left at Bandar Menjalara. You'll meet a roundabout (there there's a HUGE Desa Park City sign). Take 12 o'clock and take the first left turn. Go straight all the way, and The Bird is on your left.

Now as most of you will think why THE BIRD. Well, the decoration of the restaurants it's antique style. Very much like blue lotus in Bukit Bintang. And all of the lamps are in bird nest stylo. Maybe the other meaning is the owner likes 'Bird'? You got to see for yourself.

Serving 'seddddddap' nyonya food, what i liked there best was the BUTTER CHICKEN. Took the SET for 2 that came with chicken, fish vege + dessert, and it cost total of RM40 incl. 3 Ampula Juice (confirm nice).

There's other fav dish like the Bird Nest Mee and they serve Sarawak Laksa too. Am going back there for the laksa very very soon.
Pictured on the left, local HVD artists and cut out reviews from various newspapers. The Bird even featured in Jalan Jalan Cari Makan. :)

Southern Visit

2006-09-11T11:07:00.000+08:00

Filler post before i continue with the I- Survived - Bangkok - Trip.

Spent my weekend JB & 6 hours in S'pore. (6 hours including putting about 2 hours on customs & public transport)

Surprisingly something in S'pore is cheaper than JB after conversion. So.. shop wisely!!

After some endless shopping in JB, we swim over to S'pore & here's a outcome of 3 1/2 hours in Bugis alone.
1. Got myself 120 pcs of 4X6 glossy photo paper for $12.80
2. Got a Kappa sweater with my fav country embossed.

3. And ridiculous it might seen, the K800i screen protector. (well it's not available here yet)
4. Toys (hey dun think somewhere else)
5. A coin purse

6. Pocket Ashtray. Now this is something useful. I've seen Louis Koo used once and since then i've been looking for it. And i found it 4 years later.

Someone got to stop me from doing shopping till 2010!!!

And back to JB, here's some nice (but not so romantic) eating places in Permas Jaya. Masuk kampung roads (don't take your lowered car to JB, really), the restaurants are facing Singapore, above the 'river' malay type, and very nice nasi lemak (+ the attitude problem).

Nothing much to shop but i found a levi's engineered jeans. One that look like slacks. And some magical aroma stones that discard the ash smell on your ashtray. Nice!

Guide to SG, drive your car to City Sq JB and find a car park. Walk to opposite bus station. Go to the departure hall, get your passport scanned and head to the bus terminal. (as you can see 'Causeway Link' & 'SBS Transit'. Get ready your coins ( in RM) and depends on where you want to go, pay according to amt. Remember to look out for the bus number (CW1, CW2 etc) - for me i chose the nearest MRT so it's Kranji (MRT) and it's 90 cents per person.

When reaching SG customs, fill a form and walk to Mr. Kastam*. After you done the x-ray thing, now, it's time to chase the bus. If u missed it no worries, you can always wait for the next bus. Just follow the sign above those barriers to the correct bus. Tada.. you are in Singkapoh.

*somehow we met the same Mr. Kastam on our way back and he recognised us. Smiling, he said, are you the one that went to Bugis? Yeah!, and see what i bought... (showing se* toys)

Facial Wash

2006-09-09T19:06:00.000+08:00

Bangkok Eat & Drink V3

2006-09-08T14:21:00.000+08:00

Abit weird that we visited HRC in Bangkok. Well we just too hungry to look for other food in Siam Square. And we desperately need to sit & relax our legs.
Oh, and it's a NON SMOKING restaurant.

The most expensive food we had. But it was ok. It was very nice in term of display & taste. So no complain.

OK no more drink liao.. next post will tell you about your route planning during your stay in BKK.

Street along Phetchaburi (pronouced Phetburi), Pratunam District.

In MBK, there's a very big DVD store where you can find EVERY SINGLE DVD titles. There's even a book with PRIDE color on it.

And when there's no stock / or you buy alot, they will send it to your address within 24 hours.

There's even a muay thai gym nearby and all i see are farengs putting RM40 for 3 hours of class. OMG. But most of the trainers do speak fair english.
And there's a airport coach station (non aircondition) located here. 100 bht per head.

(Note: -Not worth if you are not travelling alone, as you can easily get to the airport between 250 bht - MAX 400 bht, depending on your negotitation skills.)

Restaurant Teo Chew Meng

2006-08-11T17:55:00.000+08:00

Teo Chew Meng Seafood Noodle.

Famous for Mee Suah (or in canto we call in Min Seen). Located @ SS14 facing highway.
Branch @ ss2/30 & Menjarala 8/62A

Pictured below are: Sharkfin Mee Suah (RM10), ***Seafood Fried Rice(RM8) & 3 Taste Oyster (RM12). Accompanied by Green Tea (RM1.50) that looked really like Air Tebu. When i took a sip with expectation of air tebu sweetness, only to realize i ordered green tea.

If you not a big eater, the 1 pax (RM10) sharkfin mee suah is just enough with 1 extra order. They have sweet sour prawn, Kerabu Mango, and i've forgotten the rest.

Note, this is a non smoking restaurant, so leave your ciggy in the car.

*** Recommended Seafood Fried Rice. Full of taste and prawn.

S300

2006-07-31T12:19:00.000+08:00

Pls mind me for not blogging. Been busy with drinking schedules, and that's not even including Mr Paul & Mr. KY.

ok Let's see.

I shall leave all technical terms behind, but i like the launch control feature. No need messy wires and switch.

Bad thing is S300 is using B18C type of ECU (size). Hard to fit in the ECU compartment though.

Sleeper Mode - On.

Neway, Weirdway

2006-07-24T15:11:00.000+08:00

if you are a red box regular, forget about Neway.

First, i got confused with their free drinks. Cocktails/Mocktails/House Specialites which they give weird name to, like Only You, Yesterday Once More, Lips to Lips, Superman, Shall We Talk, Disney Land, and other What Craps. Obviously there's only chinese word & the drink image on the menu without even mentioning what's the ingredient. Sucks.
Mineral water have to add RM5, so does those watered down beers. Double sucks.
Oh then have to take the compulsory RM9 tidbits. Damn it, redbox only RM7 (and RM5) tidbits ok. Should have tapau their tidbits mangkuk home instead. Quite nice.

After the menu hassle, then i dunno how to use their remote control. GRRRRRRRRR..

Oh not to mention that their room design doesn't match with their tables. If you know you gonna make a cramp room, dun la put so many tables. We havin problem getting to our couch at all times.

Service sucks. Staff have problem explaining those cocktails/house speciality to use.
Last call also never come in ask us for our 2nd drink. Expect us to call the operator and tell them the list of 8 drinks we wanted. Niasing how the hell i'm gonna remember wat they wan to drink. I come here to sing not to talk to operator u know.

Of cos the plus point is that, they have much more songs comparing to Red Box, and there's internal toilet.

Verdict: No good.
