Two months have gone by since my last step in to the Rat and Snake Pit and I feel GREAT!!!!!

It has been quite a while since my last posting...but things have changed now, so wa boh tiao comes into play...meaning which I have opened up my Blog yet again to EVERYBODY and ANYBODY ( including the farking rats and snakes ).

Gone are the days when the rats and snakes were trying to kiasu kiasi like view my blog by requesting a password not knowing that the notification will be sent to my email address. This shows you how stupid and full of kiasu shit the Rats and Snakes were and still are.

At present, things are so so but improving with every day that has gone by. There are glitches and hitches no doubt but what the heck, the trouble that I am going thru is all for my own...so every piece of shit is well worth it.

This is my first post of 2011 but rest assured that there are many many more to come.

Manupilators vs Manupilated = Changes

2009-05-11T12:04:00.006+08:00

This post reflects what was commented by Kat in my earlier post.....

I have to agree with her when she says that people who manupilates tend to climb higher and higher up the coporate ladder as opposed to the ones that are working their butts off...I have no comments on this except KNNCCB and MFL!! Sadly this is the trend for most of the companies everywhere in the world...

I myself have been facing this situation for quite some time now....its is very sickening to see people who talk cock most of the time get recognized by the company. Others are trampled upon in their quest for attaining rewards. So much so that I have given totally given up....work like shit oso get salary...sit and do nothing oso get the same salary. Politics this one thing that I don't indulge in or I am weak in....maybe its simply because I don't have the time for it due to the concentration that I have to give towards my work at hand OR maybe its because my mama taught me that it is wrong to treat others this way...

Anyway, I am happy to see that there will be changes in 2 years time ( max ) with all the shit that is going on right now....

I hope to dear God Almighty that I can use these 1-2 years to set up something so that I can have the opportunity to move out on my own. No doubt that times are bad but now its akin to like jumpin onto a moving car at 1st gear as compared to when its moving at 5th gear ( when the economy is good ).

Kat also said that she is "tahaning" because of the money and I think its also because of her kids future.......the same same thing that is prompting me to move on. I know that my kids will not have a very good future if I continue to work here.....as a parent, I must ensure that my kids have all the opportunities that they want to succeed in life...

Presently, I have totally given up with the current condition......the positive side is that I do not have to do anymore travelling, which will in turn leave me with more time to set my own things up. Many have done that and I see no reason why I can't......even if I fail, the very least is I have tried...correct?

Am I that DANGEROUS????????

2009-05-08T16:06:00.003+08:00

Hmmmmmm...I wonder why nowadays so many people are keeping me close to them..??

Does the phrase "Keep your enemies close to you" applies?

For me, its GOOD to be DIFFERENT...GOOD to be DANGEROUS and damn well FUCKING GOOD that a lot of sohais out there are keeping me close to them....stooopid kaninias think I am so sohai meh? Two can play at the same game ma right?

My wife always says that I am a very very dangerous person once my tail is stepped on...well, maybe she is right...I think she is right lar...

I don't believe in revenge or anything of that sort...but I am a strong believer of "What goes around comes around" and Karma....

Anyway, I will be keeping a close eye out for these young punks...I will kick anyone's arse if they come too near my tail....

Come to think of it, it is GOOD to know that people consider me different and dangerous AND different....muuuuuaaahahhahahahahahhahahaha

Thank God that there are settings that can make ones blog open to invited readers only...

I recently activated and set my blog as thus due to unwanted traffic from stoooopid motherfuckers.

Even the RSS links from my fellow bloggers sites will be blocked, meaning which NO UPDATES will be shown IF they are not an invited reader...anyone can click the RSS link all they want but it will just direct them to a page to ask for the password and permission to enter. Even comments left by invited readers will not be seen by anyone not invited by me..

I feel its better and safer this way...as I always say "Enough is enough and emough is too much"

The Reaper & The Flowers

2008-11-19T23:57:00.003+08:00

There is a Reaper, whose name is Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
And the flowers that grow between.

"Shall I have naught that is fair?" saith he;
"Have naught but the bearded grain?"
Though the breath of these flowers is sweet to me,
I will give them all back again.

"He gazed at the flowers with tearful eyes",
He kissed their drooping leaves;
It was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.

"My Lord has need of these flowerets gay",
The Reaper said, and smiled;
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he was once a child."

"They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,And saints,
upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear".

And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all again
In the fields of light above.

O, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
'T was an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ( 1807-1882 )

Its been a while since the creation of this blog and I am very happy to note that it has served its purpose thus far....the purpose of conveying my thoughts and feelings to writing as well to double up as a record for my experiences, travels and what nots.

I must say that it has also evoke some notable comments and advice from the readers...some positively effected and some negative BUT to me its 2 every1 his/her OWN........................

Permanent + Temporary = Selfishness???

2008-11-05T20:04:00.005+08:00

Sometimes things are just so simple in nature that most of us tend to trip up on it....

Take for example, a simple understanding of a certain situation of PRIORITY....its a simple and COMMON word that needs no fucking explaination right?

PRIORITY as defined in the most simplest of simplest dictionary terms it as:

PRECEDENCE : status established in the order of IMPORTANCE or URGENCY

FUCKING SIMPLE right? any hidden meanings? any ambigious shit here? NOTHING right?

BUT why the fuck some people who are supposed to be working as a team CANNOT COMPREHEND THE WORD? somebody please take a gun and shoot me lar...makafahai!!!!!!

Another simple word, PERMANENT as define in the simplest of simplest dictionary means:

Continuing OR Enduring without marked change in status OR condition OR PLACE...fucking simple right?

By the definition of PERMANENT we can therfore define that TEMPORARY is an exact OPPOSITE to PERMANENT...am I fucking right or wrong? So fucking simple right?

If its that simple then why the fuck are there STILL questions on PRIORITY, PERMANENT and TEMPORARY? WHY THE FLYING FUCK!!!!!!!

Below are SOME SIMPLE sentences constructed using the 3 fucking SIMPLE words:

"Our main PRIORITY is to complete ALL tasks at hand within the given/stipulated timeframe. Therefore it is imperative that PERMANENT staffs takes PRIORITY/PRECEDENCE over TEMPORARY staffs who are there to only assist when the fucking need arise. It can be concluded that PERMANENT staffs, who are always our frontliners take PRECEDENCE over the rest who are TEMPORARY in status. THERE"fucking"FORE", it is for the COMMON GOOD OF ALL that TEMPORARY staffs whose fucking visit are about to END, MAKE ACCOMODATIONS for NEW and TEMPORARY STAFFS who are assigned to assist in meeting the COMMON GOAL/OBJECTIVES."

BTW, do I have to elaborate on the words GOALS and OBJECTIVES? I sure fucking hope not because I am seriously not in the fucking mood to play word games after the selfish and irresponsible acts by certain individuals that might/will jeopardize the performance of the whole fucking team.

Having fun and relaxing is ok IF time permits

BUT

Work is work and when work is compromised for self indulgence, that is where I draw the line...so help me God

AND

there is no fucking compromise that can be made when everything is so fucking delayed.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for this long winded post...I feel the need to release some pent up frustration. I know that everyone is trying their best to get things done BUT we need more than "the best" from now on. It is with my sincerest hope that we act like adults and have more responsibility towards the achievement of our COMMON GOAL...

SiCKO

2008-11-02T01:40:00.002+08:00

Just finished watching Micheal Moore's SiCKO on Star World......

It's a so called documentary on health insurance and comparision of medical treatment provided by the US of A compared with some countries.

For me, THIS IS A MUST WATCH SHOW as is Farenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine ( Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary year 2003 ). Imagine an inhaler thats selling for USD 120 is selling for USD 0.05 in Cuba...now take Bolehland's cost for medication and medicine and Google it against Cuba's ( name taken for reference only ).

Micheal has taken many bashing thru the years for the above mentioned documentaries but I respect the fella for staying focused on revealing the truth even if its not admitted by certain quarters. My advise is, have a watch at Micheal's SiCKO...it will start you thinking about the medical "treatment" and its cost in our beloved BOLEHLAND.

Review and bashing links on Micheal Moore and his film are as below:

1) USA TODAY
2) THE TIMES -Mike Scott ( most recommended )
3) The Biggest Micheal Moore Website

Please do not misunderstand what I am trying to say...I am not saying that Micheal is correct nor is he in the wrong. This post is just for readers in Malaysia to know what is happening in other countries and to make a fair comparision if we are travelling on the same track.

Please understand for a fact that BolehLand's medical fees are NOT cheap and nor are they FREE. A lot of people I know are personally going thru hell and paying from their arse for medical fees.....AND I feel that most of them if not ALL deserve what the French and Cubans receive from their Government...FREE MEDICAL TREAMENT!!!!!!!!

It easy for the rich to say "Whats the fuss" but how about the poor?

Again, please understand that this post is not about supporting Micheal Moore or anything towards that regards. IT IS A POST FOR THE POPULATION IN MY COUNTRY to evaluate OR re-evaluate our current position...are we SOHAIS or not?

For the records, LINK NUMBER 2 is a must read on SiCKO if any of you missed the chance or are too tied up to find time to watch the documentary. Would appreciate if the BolehLand readers of my blog take 10 minutes of their time to read the review OR watch the documentary before leaving a comment on this post.

I for one, am DAMN FUCKING PISSED at how much we have to fucking pay for medical cost nowadays...maybe I am a Sohai and I am not rich..so what? I have the right to voice my dissactisfaction even if it ruffles a few feathers of my "GREAT NATION"

After watching the documentary, my thoughts for the powers that rule this nation is....WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS DOING OR TRYING TO DO? STOOOOPID MORONS!!! KNNCCB!!!!!!

Penang, Oct 2008

2008-10-29T21:03:00.002+08:00

Was in Penang for a working trip on the 28th f this month. Came back the next day...freaking poofed I tell you...KNN!!

The ISO Audit exercise went well albeit some minor hitches but this post is not about my freaking boring work...its about the Penang that I grew up in and the Penang that I love.

Managed to meet up with my cousins at the Chillout Terrace at Gurney Hotel ( I think I got the name correct ). Thanks for coming at such a short notice Pam, Mandy, Johnathan and Magnus. Chit chatted with them for a while catching up on old times and also on our current status. Throughout the night, I was very pleased to note that my colleague, Ngu got on very well with them.

From the CHillout Terrace we later adjourned to a beautiful and tastefully decorated KTV owned by my Auntie Maggie. Happy to see that she is doing very well on her own....for that, I salute you.

Finished the night by having Nasi Kandat at Fettes Park with Ngu before turning in at 3.00am..gawd!!

Below are some pics I took of my beloved Penang during my limited time there....

AND

Who was it that told me Penang is a boring place? was it Sam?

Btw Sam, Paurene sends her regards...she said to tell you that she misses your cute bunny looks and curly hair....and to call on her whenever you are free..

Dalian, China

2008-10-21T20:21:00.004+08:00

Been here since the 16th Oct and will be here until the 25th.....some might ask for what?

For the Factory Acceptance ( FAT ) Test of the Putrajaya International Convention Center ( PICC ) Project's Direct Fired Chiller.

Country : China
Area: Dalian
Location: Sanyo Factory
Temp: cold"ish"

My mission here is to make sure that the FAT pass and my function here is of a dual type......work and CEO..

Spent last Saturday and Sunday "guiding" my esteemed clients for a walk-walk around Dalian area. Took them to a famous shopping area in town for some grab-as-u-go-super-dirt-cheap type bargains and ended up spending the whole day there as their translator..KNNCCB!!! I seldom speak mandarin in Malaysia and to my friends, therefore its not a surprise Wifey will always laugh her head off whenever I try to act goofy and start speaking mandarin with her....

KNN..translator? lucky me that my mandarin can "cari makan" or sure will trip myself up kaukau.

Thank God that Sanyo provided a factory bus and a translator to help me out during Sunday's excursion or I will warded with acute lock jaw syndrome.

Below are some photographs I took of the FAT with my landfill cam ( didn't take my DSLR with me ) for a feel of my work..

Sad to say that I didn't have the chance for some shots on Saturday as I was pretty bogged down with the translating bit for my clients..but Sunday was a different story alltogether. I had some time to myself to browse and take some pics of my own. Below is a place in Dalian where people come from all across Dalian and China for a visit. Managed to take some overview shots of the place...wished that I brought my DSLR for the wide angle lens to work its wonders. Neways, enjoy the photos ( a few only )....

And here's a photo of me with my principle's translator..Miss Yeo

And one more

Thats all folks...

Hopefully will get an "PASSED" status for my Factory Acceptance Test cos I really worked my butt off to make the clients happy and dopey....really, its true!!

Me a Photog?

2008-10-14T11:40:00.003+08:00

Been a while since I seriously immensed myself into photography...t'was so long until I can't remember how long...well to give fellow photogs out there an indication of time, it was from the days of the Canon AE-1....thats how long ago.

I have a few colleagues that are avid and good photographers but sadly like me, they do not have the time to really indulge in their favourite pastime...mostly its because of work commitments and all that jazz.

I sometimes feel sheepish when they ask me question on photography....modern type of questions relating to DSLRs...

"What is CCD", "What is CMOS", "What is Full frame" , "Why the bokeh", etc...

Please do not get me wrong, their questions are good questions....so good that sometimes an old man like me is struggling to provide an answer. Must admit that I am ok to most types of questions but there is one that I make a point to stay away from....its "Which brand of camera is better?". Personally for me, any brand is a good brand....there is no "best of the best" brand out there.

Every camera company is a Legend in their own right with their own pros and admittingly, their own cons as well. A note to future photogs, do your own research before an intended purchase as to eliminate any future niggling doubts...choose well and choose wisely.

Personally, most of the answer can be sourced from the net but its also quite fun to sit in a group and talk cams instead of girls...ah well, maybe talk cams AND girls. For the record, I own a Nikon D80 DSLR and some 3rd party lens...nothing fancy, nothing bad, nothing good.

I like to take photographs of people, potraitures, sceneries, macros ( no time for this one now ), places and such. For me, candid shots are once in a lifetime opportunity for rememberance that requires one to sometime go on the "draw and shoot" technique...no time for manual and whatchamacalit adjustments....just take, bang the cam into auto mode, point and shoot!!! you either get it or you don't..no two ways about it.. AND thats what I like most about these type of photography as opposed to "staged" type.

Maybe I will try delving into different forms of picture taking if time and my brain cells permits...B&Ws, Artistic, etc

Btw, for those that wants to know more or take the plunge into photography, click here for a site that has loads of tips, tricks and advice for new/seasoned photogs. With that said, please be informed that this site has no relavance whatsoever to my personal preference...it is just a site amongst the countless many on the web.

As the title of my site goes, its 2 every1 his/her OWN.....................

Sunway Lagoon

2008-10-13T14:56:00.004+08:00

Took my kids to Sunway Lagoon ( so called Malaysia's Premier Waterpark ) last Sunday for some fun in the sun activities and boy, did they have fun.....

Isaac and Ivan did not get much sleep the day before because they were locked in hyper mood....so it was not a surprise that they woke me up at 6.00am telling me to brush my teeth and get ready to leave just in case we are late...late? at 6am? hahahahaha...such was their enthusiasm.

Arrived the Lagoon at 9.50am, paid Rm300+ ( 4 adults + 2 kids ) for the admission plus RM60 towards the deposit of the watch type band thingies that each of us had.

Proceeded to the Water Slides before moving onto the Wave Pool. It was not before long that Isaac was pestering me to take him to the G Force X ride ( by AJ Hackett ) that was the newest attraction at the Lagoon. It cost RM50 per pax for foreigners but one will get a 50% discount if you show your MyKad....I ended up spending RM65 because my son ( Isaac ) went twice ( RM 50 ) and the remainder was for a DVD of his ride. Wifey was screaming like a mad loon from the moment Isaac was shot into the blue...boing,boinging for about a minute or so before he was lowered down...kekekekekeke. Me? I stayed as far away as possible loh...getting too old for this type of 5Gs thingy that accelerates from 0 to 120 km/h in 2 seconds...

Next on the agenda was lunch before proceeding to the pools for another round of swimming. We ended the day by going on the rides at the Theme Park section.

I am glad to see my family enjoying themselves so much...thats the least I can do before going off to Bahrain for my project stint there...sheeeesh! Will miss them so much but work is work...maybe will go to another less demanding scope upon the completion of this project...who knows huh?

Neways, apart from the photos of "fun in the sun" that I took of my family, there are also some special pics below titled "Beautiful People"...please bear with me on the quality of some of the pics because most of them were "quick draw and shoot" type of shots...view and enjoy..

The "Best Of The Best" pic I took was of this NINJA I spotted sitting alone trying its best to blend in with the environment ( see if u can spot the ninja aka chameleon ).....WAAAKAKAKAKKAKA

Drafted!!

2008-10-10T20:38:00.005+08:00

That is an ORDER!!! was what got me drafted back into active service....

Aiyaaa...was contemplating to enlist myself in another alltogether "alien" but "can be done" field of service but the "that is an order" thingy got me shoved back into front line action amidst some futile protest on my side...sheeeshh!!

I must however thank a good brother of mine for advising me to "listen first" and to "capitalise on the opportunity".....thanks man but it feels so damn bad to make this decision after discussing so much with you...shit!! for that, please accept my sincerest apologies....hope you will allow my enlistment after the end of this particular "Tour Of Duty" cos I am seriously dead tired oledi.

BUT

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the unselfish advice on your part....for that I salute you.

The objective this time is not at all fun....I consider it a super stress ala microwave ala time bomb type of enviroment..no wonder the "Generals" made an about turn and told me to assist the chosen Major "Domo" General in this particular mother of all battles...

Anyway, my hearfelt thanks to all the people who has shown their faith and trust in me, I will try my best not to get KIA and obtain the desired results. At least, I have the knowledge of having a good team alongside me in this so called Battle For Midway...BAAAAAANZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.....DIE OSO DIE LAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!! but seriously, I think it can be done lar...not that difficult loh..

One sentence to sum everything up: I really relish the challenge and I will try my best not to fall flat on my face

Bahrain

2008-09-29T17:21:00.000+08:00

Been here since the 23rd Sept...with NO BLARDIE internet!!! the "net was finally enabled today, hence my first post since the date of my departure from BolehLand.

On the whole, the country here is much better than Dubai or Abu Dhabi...the people here are friendler, more helpful and courteous...

Even the Dalkia Bahrain staffs are better in the sense that they show a common interest to complete the task at hand..not like in another of our Mid East Project. With that said, I am very confident that our people here will not be having a tough time executing what is needed of them.

BAHRAIN....

-Weather is a tad on the hot, warm and burning side
-I would give them a thumbs up
-Basic amenities adequate
-Net service like shit!!
-Satelite TV GREAT!!!! ( even can receive adult channels...just require a bit of receiver hacking....which was done oledi on our unit..kekekekekkeeke )
-Food...expensive
-Tourism..not much to see
-Cars...damn kaukau cun cars...will buy a Ford Mustang GT if I am permanently based here...lucky I am not..
-Superbikes...cheaper than in BolehLand
-Girls....mostly Ninjas but one can get some good glimpse of some Lebanese and Syirian beauties at the local Malls
-Exchange rate against RM is foooooooking horrendous...at RM10 to Bahrain Dinar 1..HVUCK!!!
-Working hours during the Ramadhan is 8.00am to 2.00pm only...imagine that!!

Didn't take any good pictures because I did not bring my DSLR but brought my landfill cam instead. Took soem general pictures and some at the F1 track....which I will post once back in BolehLand.

Well, my best wishes to all that will be posted here with the assurance of my support whenever u guys/gals need it.

Neways, will pen off for now....still got plenty of emails to read and reply ( 237 in all )..

Smart OR Hard??

2008-09-19T15:33:00.005+08:00

Many a times I have friends telling me that its better to work smart instead or hard.....

AND

Many a times I have rebutted what they said......

BUT

Sometimes I wonder...could there be any truth in the saying "Better to work Smart instead of working Hard"

I know of a few "guys" that work damn kau smart...they switch on their mobiles at 9.30am and go offline at 6.00pm sharp. They don't give a damn about site emergencies or anything at all for that matter. "Responsibility" is a foreign word to them. Smiling and acting stooopid is like their second nature...but at the end of the year, they are getting the same amount of Bonus, increments, incentives, get to go on company trips like the rest, etc, etc, etc.

There are also a few "guys" that work hard...really hard. The buggers even come to work on Saturdays and Sundays. The word "Public Holidays" is not in their vocabulary. They sacrifice seeing their loved ones, some don't even have a life, some are like sohais, some work because of the money, etc, etc, etc BUT the type that I pity the most are freshies that seems to be getting the short end of the stick and taking the brunt of the shit.

there might be a few factor that contributes to this so called working "condition"...might be because of the Management, the immediate superiors, etc.

BUT

My question remains:

BETTER TO WORK HARD OR WORK SMART? What do you guys think?

Personally, I am seriously contemplating to work SMART and not HARD....

The Lake House

2008-09-18T11:54:00.004+08:00

First and foremost let me put in record that I am a Fan of Action, Suspense, Adventure and Sci Fi movies.....but ocassionally a romantic flick will catch my attention....and breath...and...

Caught the show titled "The Lake House" with Keanu Reeves ( Wifey is gaga over this guy, I dunno why ) and Sandra Bullock ( my all time "favouritest" actress..aaarrrgg!! ) some time back. It caught my attention then and it got my attention yesterday when I watched it on HBO ( or StarWorld )....

The reunion of Keanu and Sandra from their Speed days is a freaking gem...they have the chemistry to make the flick click, totally click dude!!!...more so than "Sleepless In Seattle" starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

TNS...the storyline was superb...superb I tell you..I will try to just give the gist without spoiling the fun for those who are planning to catch the movie..

Its all about..u guessed it...."LOVE"

Alex ( played by Keanu ) is in the year 2004 and Catie/Kate ( played by Sandra ) resides in the year 2006....and a female dog named "Jack" ( keep your eyes and ears open whenever this dog appears in the movie. There you have it, its about a two year apart love affair....makes sense to you? Btw, did any of you notice the movie poster shows a B&W Keanu with Sandra? Can it be an interpretation of a love affair that might involve the "Flux Capacitor" from "Back to the Future" saga...food for thought huh?

I cannot say more or it WILL ruin the fun of watching or believing in miracles....

I must however say again that the freaking storyline is blardie superb!!!!!!

I rate this as my all time favourite and watchable Romantic flick...and by doing that I must admit that at heart, I am a Romantic freak **sob sob**

Chiangmai 2008

2008-09-17T21:26:00.003+08:00

Took a break from my monotonic and mundane schedule for a well planned family vacation. This time its to Chiangmai in the Land Of Smiles from 13th to 16th Sept 2008. Bookings for this trip was done well in advance, 6 months to be exact.....accomodations for 2 rooms for the 4 days 3 nights stay at Centara Duangtawan Hotel was done thru my normal travel agent 3 weeks prior to the trip. Transport arrangements were made thru a friend of mine in Chiangmai...1 luxury 8 seater MPV at a cost of RM300 for the whole trip.

I am happy to say that overall it has been a very enjoyable trip for my family....they enjoyed the shopping, the Elephant Show at Mae Sa Valley, visiting the Long Neck Tribe, the food, the atmosphere, etc, etc, etc...

To blog about the whole trip will consume too much e-space, let my pictures ( got a chance to use my new 12-24mm lens....hehehe ) do all the talking...as they say " A Picture is worth A Thousand Words"...

Dying for Something & Dying for Nothing

2008-09-11T13:50:00.002+08:00

A giant ship's engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was very young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, form top to bottom and inside out.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He then carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer. ............. . $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap.......... $ 9,998.00

*Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.*

And its also like my post title..."Dying for Something is always better than Dying for Nothing"....the same applies to our careers and futures as well

You Could Have

2008-09-11T10:35:00.003+08:00

Ahmad bin Pendatang and his wife were traveling by car from P.P. to J.B. After almost 4 hours on the road, they found that they were too tired to continue and came to the conclusion to stop for a rest.

They managed to locate a nice hotel for their intended plan which was to rest for 4 hours only before getting back on the road. When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for RM350..

Ahmad explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly aren't worth RM350. When the clerk tells him RM350 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appears, listens to Ahamd, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for their use...

But we didn't use them', Ahmad bin Pendatang complains.

Well, they are here, and you could have,' explains the Manager. He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous for. 'The best entertainers from New York , Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here,' the Manager says.

But we didn't go to any of those shows,' Ahamd complains again. 'Well, we have them, and you could have', the Manager replies. No matter what facility the Manager mentions, Ahmad bin Pendatang replies 'But we didn't use it'.

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually Ahmad bin Pendatang gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a cheque and hands it over to the Manager.

The Manager is surprised 'But sir,' he says, 'this cheque is only made out for $100.' 'That's right,' says Ahmad bin Pendatang, 'I charged you $250 for sleeping with my wife.'

'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager.

'Well,' Ahamd bin Pandatang replied, 'she was here and you could have.'

Kami la Pendatang

2008-09-10T16:25:00.003+08:00

Assamualaikum saudara saudari sekalian....

KNNCCB, statement yang di ucapkan oleh si barua tu menimbulkan ingatan saya kepada satu lagu yang digubahkan oleh Allaryarham Tan Sri P. Ramlee ( btw, he was also from Penang )from the movie "Ali Baba Bujang Lapok"...the song goes like this....

"Kami la penyamun di dalam negeri.....
Kami penyamun, di dalam ini negeri....
Kerja merompak, menciluk dan mencuri...
Tidak memilih mati dan kerbau sabi....
Asalkan boleh kami bawak lari....
Kami penyamun....
Penyamun....."

In light of the recent statement made by the "barua", why don't we change the lyrics a bit...maybe change it to like thus:

"Kami la Pendatang di dalam negeri....
Kami Pendatang, di dlam ini negeri....
Kerja merepek, mencaci dan memaki....
Tidak memilih babi atau babi hutan....
Asalkan boleh kami terus bedal....
Kami Pendatang....
Pendatang....."

Suits us "Pendatang" better right? No need to make KNNCCB statements anymore loh...

Btw, why has not the motherfucker being thrown in ISA? Is he protected by some "Godly" hand?

Further elaborations can be found here at Lim Kit Siang's blog ...read and enjoy your Pendatang status my friends...

Hydro Fuel - Hype or Fact?

2008-09-10T11:36:00.003+08:00

Much has been said about the petrol price hike and a lot has also been said about the touted Hydro Fuel System which promises a savings of up to 40-50% of ones petrol consumption.

For report and pics read here , On where to install Hydro Fuel read here

Personally. I find this a better solution that NGV in the sense that one does not need to locate "special" petrol stations for a filling....and the long queue. I cannot imagine asking my wife to queue up for 30 minutes just to refill the NGV tank which in turn will only give about 120-140km per tankful ( depending on the way you drive )....KNN, the way I drive I will only get 50kms on the NGV lar.

Was chatting with some buddies of mine who are in the car modofication/racing sector about Hydro Fuel. Hydro Fuel...what is hydro fuel? how does it work?

Hydro Fuel Sysytem is a process that utilizes Hydrogen Gas in water H2O to supplement the usage of petrol. In theory, it is supposed to create a better burning and a more effective combustion process......

IN SHORT : hydrogen+less fule usage+better combustion process = savings and a cleaner enviroment

A typical set up of the Hydro Fuel is such:

The hydrogen is separated from water by way of electrolisis. A Positive ( + ) and Negative ( - ) charged rod ( sourced from the vehicle's battery unit ) is dipped into the water ( H2O ) to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen.

The Hydrogen is then channelled to the carburator/injector by way of piping which has a connection to the vehicle's vacuum pipe thus allowing the mixture of hydrogen and petrol to give everyone the touted savings.

Just for the heck of it, me and my buddies built a crude but workable hydrofuel unit. The "ingredients" used are as below:

- 1 unit of 2 litre airtight plastic bottle which was inserted in the boot compartment and secured properly
- 2 car lenghts of flexible pipings ( the ones used for aquarium air bubbles )
- 1 check valve/ one way valve
- 1 tee joint to be inserted in the vacuum pipe
- 2 car lenghts of electrical wires. This is for the + and - rods.

The test donkey was my buddy's chief mechanic's 1998 Honda Civic. For the record, the bugger was fucking us like hell...kekekeke. He only agreed after my buddy promised to bear all the cost of repair if his engine blew up ( my buddy owns one of the more famous car modification workshops in Sunway area ).

Our only issue was that we did not have a way to regulate the amount of hydrogen into the vacuum intake....the hydrogen produced by the electrolisis was not that much an amount to create a pressure build up in the plastic tank. We were stumped and ended up by saying "to hell with it lar"

We started the donkey and filled her up with a full tank and passed her back to her owner for his daily use.

This is the result ( not verified by SIRIM or any shit establishment ) after about 2 fillings of petrol:

Before the DIY Hydrofuel : 1km = RM0.35, after the DIY thingy = 1km = RM RM 0.33, resulting in a savings of approx 5%.

It is not known if the above results are true because the results were obtained verbally from the Mechanic only. We also did not have proof as to how much his car was running before the installation. Therefore, it is up to you guys/gals to judge for yourselves how good is the Hydrofuel and will it work at all.

For the records, the commercialized Hydro Fuel System is selling for RM1,300 and RM2,300 ( with some Smart Fuel Saver thingy ) respectively.....use Hydro Fule and still require a smart fuel saver thingy? go figure......kekekekekeke

Hybrids - Proton Persona Electric

2008-09-08T12:10:00.005+08:00

KNNCCB!!!! thats my opening statement on the escalated fule prices and what-nots in BolehLand...

I for one do not give a flying f*&k on whatever reasons given by the powers that be in regards to the price hike of petrol...WTF, we are a petrol producing nation btw...and we still have to buy petrol at premium prices? On my last trip to the Middle East, I was informed by the loclas that gasoline cost 6 Dirhams for 6 gallons which is after their price increase, before that it was 3 Dirhams for 6 gallons. FYI, 1 Dirhams is equivalent to RM0.98 and lets presume that the gallons that they are talking about is US Gallons ok...that means 1 US Gallon is equivalent to 3.78 Litres.....do the math and go figure!!!!

I sincerely hope that more and more Hybrids will be introduced in BolehLand's market...at least give a chance for us poor sohais to offset the price hike lar...

Some sources say that Proton is making their move into the Electric market with its Persona...aptly donkey tagged as Proton Persona Electric

Another link to the so called Proton Persona news ( if its true ) is here at this link..

I for one, will gladly welcome such a move by Proton....IF

The Persona can really serve its purpose....IF

The build quality and QA is good...IF

The price tag is reasonable...IF

Spares and After Sales Service are up to the mark...IF

The touted Incentives for hybrids under the 2009 Budget is as real as what is announced..KNN:

EXEMPTION OF 100 PERCENT IMPORT DUTY & 50 PERCENT EXCISE DUTY ON NEW HYBRID CBU CARS, WITH ENGINE CAPACITY BELOW TWO 2,000 CC LITRE TO BE GIVEN TO FRANCHISE IMPORTERS. THE EXEMPTION IS FOR TWO YEARS

Lots of IFs

By the way, anyone of you have any idea on when is the launch? Year 2030?

Forest Research Institut Malaysia ( FRIM )

2008-09-06T22:36:00.003+08:00

Went to Forest Research Institut Malaysia ( FRIM ) in Ulu Kepong today...after about 10 odd years of no visit..

My goodness, the place has changed a lot....changed for the better no doubt...

Entrance to FRIM cost RM5 per vehicle and RM1 per person which is used for the upkeep of the area. Must admit that the landscaping is superb and amenities are excellent.

Wanted to go for the Jungle Canopy Walk...a 20 meter high x 200m long walkway located in the Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve but heavy rain put a damper on our plans.

Ended up by taking the family to Sungai Kroh Waterfall for some fun in the rain and a picnic lunch.

Below are some photographs that was taken at the Falls....lighting was poor ( lucky I brought my f2.8 along ) and I forgot to bring my tripod ( must remember next time ) resulting in handheld shots under trying conditions..aaaargg!! therefore, please excuse the quality of the photographs..

I have already planned my next trip there for some picnicking and nature photography.

Today

2008-09-05T20:55:00.004+08:00

Today marks a very important Milestone in my life in the sense that I've made a strong commitment about my future, about my life and about what I am going to do to improve it.....

I've talked to Wifey about my plans and what I am planning to accomplish within my own set period...thank God that she is 100% supportive of my decision...

She understands that I have had enough...enough of toiling & suffering, enough of standing by the wayside looking at the world going by, enough of everything....

She knows that I have basically given up on the present situation and that I am just going thru the motions....

I am glad that she understands why I would no longer put so much effort in what I do....because its near pointless

She understands why I no longer want to speak my mind, rant and rave about why, how, what and where....

I sincerely hope for my future's sake that things will work out as what I have planned...and fast because I am at near empty in my "motivation" and "drive" tank.....

The required documentation is ready, ready for the final submission......

There are no bad feelings towards anything or anyone nor will there be any animosity.....because life is life, there are ups and downs....hopefully my "up" time is here with my intended arrangement....

"All The Best" is all I can say.....enough is enough and enough is sometimes just too much...

Till then it will be life as usual without the normal bantering or ass"ing" around..wakakakaka

Watching the "Show"

2008-09-04T10:50:00.003+08:00

To tell you guys the truth, there has never been a time in my working life that made me "wash my hands" and watch the "show" from the sidelines...except in this particular instance....

It all started with my company securing a Middle East project....for the sake of blogging, we name this project the BB Project lar.

With that said, I must personally thank the person who sent me there....thank the bugger for giving me the chance to have a personal feel for the project, for the people who are involved, for a feel of the culture, for a feel of the owners, etc. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...I can never ever say enough of THANK YOUs to this guy.

My personal conclusion is this:

1) This project is doomed for failure because of the incompetency of the person(s) in charge ( blardie pariahs ). The two fuckers know nuts about how to handle a project, know nuts about manpower allocation, know nuts about procedures, know nuts about basis of claims, know nuts about basically everything...and they have the freaking balls to request for the sky and moon.

2) The staff allocation for this project is like fuck. In one of my past projects, we had a 30 strong manpower allocation for a RM40 million project and we were working our balls off to meet the deadline. This project has a value of RM155 and the sohais expect to complete the whole thing with a skeletal staff count of 10 at the max....what a bunch of motherfucking sohais.

3) The two personnel that my company designated for this project also know nuts. As much as I would like to mention their names or even pen down their initial, I can't and will not. I know that a lot of the readers of my blog ( colleagues ) know which two sohais that I am talking about.

One nut job is a motormouth...talks non stop like he is Mr. Know-All but in actual fact he know nuts about the implemented System that we have in place. I will castrate myself if this motherfucker can handle this project on his own effort and not take credit for things that people do....his favourite phrase is exactly like the person who leads this project, which is "I DO FOR YOU WAN" but in actual fact its other people who did it....fucking sonofabitch!!!

Nut job number two is a gangly sonofabitch who also know nuts. The sohai works behind a desk the whole fucking day, won't even go to site if there is any problem, never handled a project before in his miserable life, takes credit for things that people do and acts like Mr. Know-All as well. Needless to say that this sonofabitch is also a useless and worthless bitch.

I for one, will accept any bets from anyone with the odds of 100 to 10 that this project WILL be delayed ( minimum of 9 months ) and WILL LOSE money ( as opposed to the RM14 million that they are targeting to make ). Any takers?

The downside of winning my bets is that my company will end up posting a loss for this project which in turn WILL affect our year end bonuses and increments ( not that passed years records are anything to shout about )...

My stand still remains...."Stand aside and watch the SHOW" and to the motherfuckers that are handling this project ( W,M,S & Z ) FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKHEADS, SHOW US HOW TO DIE AND ROT IN HELL!!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAA...what a bunch of morons

And before I forget, let me put this down in writing as proof and record..."If ever I see the motherfucking pariah named Sathis Kumar in Malaysia, I will make it my personal mission to whack the shit out of him" or my name isn't TJ...who knows..maybe I will whack the two sohais from my company as well just for the fun of it...kekekekekeke

Cameron Highlands, 31st August 2008

2008-09-02T11:17:00.005+08:00

Took my family to Cameron Highlands on our Independence Day for a little relaxation.

Started the journey at 8.30am from my house and managed to reach Cameron at 11.00am via the new Simpang Pulai highway. Took the new road on the advice of friends but I personally find that the old road from Tapah suit visitors from KL better in the sense that its nearer. One doesn't have to make such a big u-turn from Simpang Pulai just to reach the highlands...my goodness gracious!!

Must admit that Cameron has changed quite a bit since my last visit here 9 years ago...the farm set ups has improved, hygiene has improved, roads and infrastucture has improved but with improvisation comes the downside of commercialization...hais..

Staying & eating here during the holidays is no joke I tell you...

The price of veges and such has also increased like hell BUT it is still cheaper than what we get in KL...and fresher too...

To my surprise, I found out one is required to pay an entrance fee of a few RMs to some of the farms...its not like free entrance of days bygone.

In short, we bought lotsa corn, lotsa veges, strawberries and some "chung chou" ( good for soup making)...took lotsa pictures...had lunch at KEA farm Restaurant, Starbucks at Ringlet. We made our journey home via the old road ( Tapah way ) and reached home at 8.20pm after dinner at Sri Damansara.

All in all, it has been an enjoyable time for me and my family. I am seriously looking forward to our next family vacation at Chaingmai on the 13th September...till then and thanks for reading.

Ice Skating @ Pyramid's

2008-08-30T23:42:00.002+08:00

30th August 2008 was a date my two sons got their first ice skating experience. We were there to celebrate Syn Wen's birthday, who is my sons Auntie but they are about the same age...waaakakakaka..

As the occasion was actually tailored for little runts, most of the brood from my wife's side were there with their kids.

After about half an hour of total chaos with entrance lar, shoes lar, food lar and what nots, the skating instructor started the briefing. He had no choice but to start with the basics because most of the participants were 1st timers. the briefing lasted for about 15 minutes before they were all herded into the ice rink.

From there on Games were held before the participants were set free....

Everyone was falling like flies, getting up and falling over again....must admit that the situation warrants some nervousness among the parents but the feeling was soon lost by the antics of the kids ( use your imagination dear readers..kekeke )

All in all everyone had a wonderful albeit a tiring time...

Kudos to Syn Wen's parents for coming up with such a good idea...my heartiest thanks.

Isaac has already asked me when can he go skating again...my promise to him was when I am free and on the condition that I don't go in with him cos I don't want Pyramid's skating rink to be closed for a 2 year repair work should I fall down..waaaakakakakakakakakaka

Budget 2009

2008-08-29T20:40:00.002+08:00

Was browsing thru the Star Online to look at whats what in the newly tabled so called for the Rakyat Budget...

hais...dun want to talk about it too much lar....scared kena ISA...maybe kena dragged to court for screwing someone's arse or nostril or something lar.

Below are a few things in the Budget 2009 that caught my eye:

National Energy Plan
Exemption of import duty and sales tax on solar photovoltaic system equipment, import duty and sales tax on intermediate goods such as High Efficiency Motors and insulation materials; sales tax on locally manufactured solar heating system equipment; sales tax on locally manufactured energy efficient consumers goods such as refrigerators, air-conditioners, lightings, fans and televisions; and 100% import duty and 50% excise duty on new hybrid CBU cars, with engine capacity below 2,000 cc, be given to franchise importers. This exemption is given for a period of two years to prepare for the local assembly of such cars. ( local assembled hybrids? sure or not? If a few motoring GIANTS from the Land Of The Rising Sun came and CKD, how sure that PROTONG will not be protected again? )

Improving Public Transportation
The existing LRT system in the Klang Valley will be extended by 30km, that is 15km respectively, for Kelana Jaya and Ampang lines. Upon completion in 2011, the extensions are expected to benefit 2.6 million residents in the Subang Jaya-USJ and Kinrara-Puchong areas, compared with 1.9 million currently. ( just hope that the contract will not be awarded to a half baked company like the "one bridge always got crack wan leh" )

Enhancing Health Services
Excise duty specific on cigarettes increased by three sen from 15 sen per stick to 18 sen per stick. With this, the duty for a 20-stick pack of cigarettes is now increased by 60 sen. ( this one I no give a flying fuck because I smoke DUTY FREE cigs...I have available stock until year 2011 )

Miri & Kota Kinabalu

2008-08-27T21:42:00.007+08:00

Went to Miri ( Aug ) and KK ( 26th Aug ) on business. Got home poofed max due to the hectic and tight schedule....I am feeling a bit sick"ish" actually...like a bout of flu or something coming on...sniff sniff

Was not helped by the fact that I sat beside a giggly and fidgety couple on my flight back. They were making a lot of unnecessary noise laughing and giggling for no apparent reason....given my condition, I was contemplating very hard if a super tight slap will help ease the torture of most passengers on board. I ended up deciding to change my seat but luck was not on my side as it was a full flight back to KL. I think one of the main reason for the full flight was the UMS convo a few days before...stragglers were slowly making their way back home after a week of partying themselves silly..

Ended up crawling back to my dreaded seat beside the two morons...arrrrgg! No choice but to endure the torture for another one half hours. Lucky for me, The Person Up there must have felt my frustrations because the plane we were on hit some super air pocket that turned the morons green...WAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA. I got my bit back by asking them why were they so quite all of a sudden....muuuuhahahahaha. I even told them that the air pockets that we hit was nothing compared to ones that threw people up to the ceiling and sprawling on the deck...my oh my, the look on their faces...WAAAAKAKAKAKAKA...serves the two arseholes right.

Neways, below are some pics that I snapped during my said trip...nothing to shout about because time was soooooo blardie shot..

Lowepro Fastpack 350

2008-08-24T19:18:00.004+08:00

Aiyah....my Fastpack 350 at last went bust after a gruelling trip to Siem Reap with a few good buddies of mine..

Luckily for me, Lowepro has a lifetime warranty pegged on its products or there goes my RM400++ down the drain. With the warranty in mind, I sent my Fastpack back to the supplier Shong Lee Photo at 1 Utama post haste for the claim and they told me that I have to wait a minimum of 45 days as the bag will have to be sent back to Lowepro ( US ) for a one to one exchange program.

The problem area was at the zipper area...freaking thing just popped out for no apparent reason. On closer inspection, I found out that it was due to a manufacturing defect....the seams were not sewn together properly causing the zip runners to be dislodged...KNN.

After a lot and a lot and a lot of deliberation ( and calculation ), I went and got me another Fastpack 350 because of the upcoming trips that I had lined up in front of me. No way in hell was I going to lug my gear around in a Lowepro 190 AW

OR

the other alternative was not taking my cam with me...arrrrggg!! ( to me, this is not an option )

SO

Out went RM400++ from my wallet ( again ) and in came another Fastpack. I was darn lucky that Wifey understood or my ears will be ringing for 2 weeks...kekekekeeke ( thanks Wifey ).

Neway, I intend to sell the other Fastpack when it comes back from Lowepro US....maybe can push it off ( with a bit of discount ) to my cousin, Bernie or Toh...or at eBay, which is my last resort because its quite a blardie hassle with postage, insurance and what nots...

Till then, its 2 every1 his/her OWN....................

The Pork Seller

2008-08-23T18:20:00.003+08:00

There is a pork seller in my housing area whose name is Bodowee....

Initially he seemed a good and kind soul but things changed after his daughter got married to a gay...er..guy by the name of Gay Jay.

Poor Bodowee was like a puppet on a string...his pork stall was poorly managed, business suffered and the stooopid sonofabitch lost his popularity among his clients.

One of the sohai things that he did was to raise the price of pork by 70 cents to RM2.70 per kg ( fuck JE he said )...he explain that he had to do it because of the rising cost of sharpening his pork cleaver. Lots of fellow marketers were not amused by this blatant increase in price but they did not say anything because Bodowee was quite a powerful person it seems. Stories were circulating on how a complainant was "framed" for something he didn't do.....nothing was heard or seen of the person after the incident. The poor guy aka sohai was framed for putting a pig's head up his arse...imagine that!!!

Neways, Bodowee listened to the advise of Gay Jay to reduce the price of pork...Gay Jay said to do this on a momentary basis in order to reduce the dissent of marketers. The price was then reduced by 15 cents to RM2.55 but people were talking among themselves...they were asking how the fuck a 15 cent decrease will help? They asked if Bodowee thinks that the people in general were "Bodoh/Sohais"....the damage has been done..no one trust Bodowee anymore...his stall has been boycotted...and they are just waiting for him to fuck off or die.

Such a sad story huh? so sad...so fucking sad....

Btw, any resemblance to persons dead or alive is purely unintentional...the author sincerely thinks that no motherfucking bastard will associate him/herself with such a stooopid name like Bodowee and Gay Jay..thats why he chose these names.

Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 ATX 116 PRO DX

2008-08-23T00:06:00.005+08:00

Been itching to get the Tokina 11-16mm ultra wide angle lense for quite some time now....arrrg! The beauty cost just around the region of RM2k +/-.......

So what is stopping me you ask? errrrr...my Wifey loh...its not that she is against my hobby or anything loh...please believe me when I say that my Wifey is 110% supportive...I predict her negative reaction will be basically due to the fact that I've just spent about RM1.5k on a 24-70mm f2.8 lense a few weeks back..ooops..

AND

not to mention the RM450 that I spent on a Lowepro Fastpack 350 ( another one ) because my old Fastpack 350 got sent back to USA for warranty claim ( one to one exchange ) and won't be back for another 45 days. Dunno, what will I do with an additional Fastpack, maybe I will try to push it to my cousin, Bernie ( how bro? u want it or not? cheap cheap, can installment, 0 interest )

ANYWAY

buying another lense now will surely cause me some deafness in both ears.....you can take my word to the bank on this...kekekeke

Neways, below are some picture of the beauty that I am talking about ( or you can click the link above ):

Click here for SAMPLE OF PICTURES captured with the 11-16mm....aiiiyooooooooo so beautiful I tell youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ( Wifey, hope u r listening to my deplorable suspiration..hehehehe )

Project A & Project B

2008-08-18T20:48:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I really feel for the other "Sohais" in my company...really feel for them

We have 2 projects going on at the moment....Project A and Project B

Project A
1)I wash my hands with this project because there is one Indian motherfucker who is literally from India there who thinks he is GOD. I bet my freaking "black" chinese arse that this project will end up losing money and be in super delay mode because of his mismanagement....fucking proud and stooopid KNNCCB bastardized sonofabitch...waaakakakakaka...I hope he gets his indian arse burnt to hell and back.

2) Also because that an individual called "M" who is a fucking motor mouth....hahahahaha..dunno why this sohai dunno how to keep his freaking trap shut. His character is also of the same like the Indian God. Always taking credit for things that people do...another KNNCCB fucker. The last I heard, this bugger is trying to wrangle his way out of this project by finding another poor soul to take his place...All The Best to the sonofabitch...wish I could give him a bit of nice bitchslappin' to send him on his way....

3) And about the sohai called "W"...I rest my case with this gangly arsehole...God Save The Queen!!!

Now about Project B
This is one project where I will bust my balls to ensure that the monetary part will be smooth and without any hitches. There's basically nothing more that can be said that can't be proven in due course.....till then....I gotta go watch my favourite TV show "House" now.....bloody Hugh Laurie is freaking hilarious as Dr. House...WAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Oh before I forget...I promise to cut and swallow my dick if Project A completes on time AND end up making profit....and you can take my word to the bank.

Aipo AP-38EX Dry Cabinet

2008-08-13T11:43:00.005+08:00

Finally went out and got me a dry cabinet for my photography equipment. Wanted to get the Digicabi brand but sold out at the few places that I went to. Eventually settled for the Aipo as I did not want to wait for the Digicabi stocks to arrive.

The 38L capacity is just ok for storing my equipment ( maybe some space left for 1 or 2 lenses...kekeke ).

It has a hygrometer for humidity control but I dunno how accurate it is...what the heck la, if it works then ok loh...better than spending unnecessary buckos to clean my lenses after a fungal attack right?

**the above images are courtesy of shashinki.com**

Damage: RM380 ( Aipo ), RM25 ( Clinic bill from deafness caused by Wifey..kekeke )

Siem Reap, Cambodia 2008

2008-08-11T11:44:00.007+08:00

Took a rest from the shit at hand for a holiday ( 6th Aug - 10th Aug ) at the fabled Cambodia with a group of my colleagues...

Must admit that it was very difficult to leave my two monkeys at home ( sob sob ) but I felt that Wifey deserved a few days of relaxation (what with the initial shit of Abu Dhabi and all).

The trip itself was nothing to shout about for adventure seeker like myself but more towards an eye opener of the past and of things defined beautiful.

On the whole the province of Siem Reap is still in a progressive state...roads and drainage systems are under construction, road side lightings are scarce and remote, basic neccessities are more concentrated in the urban areas, etc.

I also found out that most of the people there ( I talked to ) are holding a minimum of two jobs, one in the day and one at night, after which they will go for language classes. I think their obssesion with learning different languages has something to do with the main contributor of their economy....which is TOURISM.

All in all the trip was ok la....nothing to shout about la...I told Wifey that I won't be going back there for at least another 10 years minimum la. Why? maybe its because that I am not such a temple fanatic thats why ( IMHO, the War Museum is a total rip off )

The few temple that I would fully recommend for future travellers are:

1) Angkor Wat ( reference here )
2) Angkor Thom ( reference here )
3) Bayon Temple ( reference here )
4) Tomb Raider Temple ( aka Ta Prohm Temple )

The rest of the temple sites are so-so only ( my personal opinion ok? )....

To tell you the truth, for me, the above temples and Tonle Sap aka Great Lake are the only things thats deemed an eye opener on my trip ( thank God Wifey agreed with me...kekeekekeke ).

Damage for the trip was approx USD 600 inclusive of air tickets, tours, entrance fees, food and board.

Total pics taken was about 800 shots ( pics uploaded in my Flickr page......there goes my shutter count )

Value for money rating at 5 ( scale of 1 to 10 )

Anyway, its 2 every1 his/her OWN................

Bandung, Indonesia 2008

2008-08-04T17:02:00.007+08:00

Went to Bandung with a group of my "braders" in July for some R&R.

The place is famous for its shopping galore ( lotsa Factory outlets )...damn cheap I tell yooooouuuuuu.

Food wise ok la and hotels are a tad on the expensive side BUT comfortable. Below pic is taken immediately after Khairi's bath ( notice the shine? )

Managed to get the ourselves totally winded by climbing their famous Volcano called "Tangkuban Perahu" ( overturned sampan in English ). Winded because of saying "NO THANKS" to the hundreds of trinket sellers that swamp you the moment you get outta your car and also the sheer descend to the crater mouth ( still active ). The sight was well worth the sweat that we put in....very, very breath taking!!!

2 days was spent travelling around to various Factory Outlets looking for things to spend our money on. Hugo Boss, LV, Gucci, armani Exchange, Polo Ralph Lauren, Nike, Adidas, ashworth, Descent, u name it and they have it. At first I was quite sceptical on the authenticity of the brands but upon closer inspection I found out that they are all originals albeit for some manufacturing flaw ( B Grades ). Managed to buy myself some 30 pcs of T-shirts ( my size is difficult to find ) and a Levi's 501 buttonfly jeans for about USD30...waaahahahaha

Total damage RM1500

My brothers also managed to get a few mobile number of air stewardess in the VIP lounge where we were relaxing and goofing off prior to our departure...isn't that right Khairi?

*this guy still owe me a backpacking bag*

Will definitely bring my family here for a holiday sometime in the near future....no doubts about that.

Whose the MAN?

2008-08-04T10:56:00.003+08:00

There once was an Indian who had only one testicle, and whose given name was 'Onestone'. He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone.

After years and years of torment, Onestone finally cracked and said, 'If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them!' The word got around and nobody called him that any more.

Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said, 'Good morning, Onestone.'

He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night. He made love to her all the next day, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.

The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do. Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until a woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away.

Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she saw Onestone.She hugged him and said, 'Good to see you, Onestone.'

Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest, then he made love to her all day, made love to her all night, made love to her all the next day, made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Bird wouldn't die!

What is the moral of this story???...

You CANNOT kill TWO birds with ONE stone!!!

Sigma 24mm-70mm f2.8 EX DG Macro

2008-07-31T11:35:00.006+08:00

Finally bought myself the Sigma ( above pic taken with my LG Viewty not Nikon ) lens....actually I saw it at Abu Dhabi Duty Free few weeks ago on my way home but hesitation on my part prolonged my ownership of it. It all ended with me frantically calling one of my colleagues to buy it for me on his way back ( thanks a heap Melvin ).

In general, it is 3rd party compatible Nikon lens ( review here ) of ok make la...nothing to shout about when compared to pictures taken with original Nikkor lenses but good for low light condition shots.

This baby cost me AED 1670 ( approx RM1500 ) as compared to RM1700-1800 if I buy it here...and it comes with worldwide warranty.

The "bokeh" on this baby should be quite good for portraiture but should not be as good as my 50mm f1.8 nikkor looooh.

Neways, will be taking my new baby for a field test soon ( Angkor Wat ). Pictures will follow..

Alchohol is GOOD For You

2008-07-25T11:57:00.002+08:00

Very difficult to believe? Read the below to put your mind at ease....

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the lowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.

This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.

Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Got it? Now go get yourself pissed drunk asap.

Advise Needed

2008-07-23T15:54:00.006+08:00

Sometimes people feel like a real fucking fool......what should one do or how should one react when he/she is damn demoralized because the Company wants to GROW ( which is a good thing ) BUT they restrict the GROWTH of their employees. I mean, who doesn't want to be fucking rich but at least let the people who make you rich improve on the quality of their lifes as well la.....CCB!!! The very fucking least that a growing company can do is to let the employees have the dignity of recognition and work satisfaction maaaaaaaaaaa..

For the sake of this post, we name this demoralized guy..... MR. SOHAI ( in English its Mr. Stupid Cunt )

The CCB company that Sohai has worked in for countless donkey years basically don't give him any recognition at all.

They know the Sohai can work independently and can accomplish set tasks but the Company always takes him for granted. Allowances that the Sohai gets are the same as newly joined Engineers ( the Sohai is not an Engineer ). This Soahi even stood in for a colleague who left and got paid a measly RM200 per month!!! fucking hell RM200 per month for 1 year....cahucheebai. He saved the company Rm4000 per month x 12 months minimum if they hired another Sohai and they rewarded him with RM200 a month.

In short, the workload expected of this stoooopid Sohai is of a Manager la, Project Leader la, Planner la, ass washer la, cunt licker la, pukimak fucker la, etc BUT when it comes to benefits, allowances and remuneration this SOHAI is just a normal stoooopid motherfucking EXECUTIVE LEVEL asshole.....FUCKING HELL!!!!!!

Petty things are made pettier ( Claims for laundry and such...) because of the crap chaucheebai Person To Person Basis, Department To Department Basis, Project To Project Basis principle that they have going...in short is this: If they like your face then you are entitled for unmentionable perks, incentives and claims....otherwise...U ARE A SOHAI. This Sohai dares anyone who is in the same Company as him/her to challenge this statement and prove him/her wrong.....FUCK!!!!

This Sohai knows that he has been taken for a SOHAI ride but he didn't give a flying fuck....he just wanted the job to proceed without any problems BUT did the company recognise his sacrifice? did they say " Good job Sohai, Well Done"....the Sohai will be fucked if they did.

The Sohai can hold his own very well albeit not technically but ok laaaaa....can cari makan la. Kaninabeh, admittingly this Sohai doesn't have any watchamacalit Engineering Degree but he has something equivalent...a Business Degree....CCB, at least this Sohai can write and speak better english than some so called Management crony.

Admittingly, the only thing that is keeping this mother of all Sohai from finding another job is he loves the company of colleagues that he has now...they are all like brothers and sisters to him.

So, the question is:

1) Should the Sohai continue to endure the fucking shit

OR

2) Fuck off

OR

3) Act Deadwood ( a lot of deadwoods in this Sohai's company enjoying easy life ) and just contribute the amount the motherfuckers pay him

The Sohai asked me to tell the would be commenters that he appreciates any forms of comment and thanks your kind souls in advance.

This post is not a threat because no one is indispensable but every human being has his/her own limits right? I was just wondering how will they feel if in future their own flesh and blood are treated like human waste...hmmmmmm.

I am sohai....why a sohai? because I kena the "Project To Project" Basis con job. It is good in a way because now I do things also "Project To Project" Basis.

I am sohai....why a sohai? because people are getting rich while I am still a sohai out of a lot of sohais who are making the motherfuckers rich

I am sohai....why a sohai? because people are still trying to convince me that a certain place is heaven and paradise and the money paid is so fucking goooooooooood...but...funny why they dun want to go but want other people to go.

I am sohai....why a sohai? because I covered an additional person's job in Pee One Project just to get an extra RM200 per month. Saved RM4000 for people in wages and I get RM200 per month and thank you for thanking me and appreciating the effort that this sohai put in.

I am sohai....why a sohai? because I still dunno how to spend the additional RM200 per month that I earned so easily

I am sohai....why a sohai? because I still try my best to say nice things about people ( you guys know who I mean right? ) to fellow sohais when there is nothing nice to say at all.....for this I AM A REAL SOHAI.

I am sohai....why a sohai? because I still kena con job by the biggest liar in my company...the guy is from Japan.

I am sohai....why a sohai? because I made the sohai decision to join a wonderful establishment one beautiful day when I can still get my dick to stand...now cannot liao woooo

I am sohai....why a sohai? because I am sohai and I know that there are a lot of sohais out there that are feeling very sohai as this sohai who makes motherfuckers rich along with other very nice sohais who also knows that they are sohais taken for a sohai ride.

A German doctor says: 'That is nothing, we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.

A Russian doctor says: 'In my country, medicine is so far progressed that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks.'

The Malaysian doctor: not to be outdone, says 'KANINABEH!!!!.......You guys are way behind, we recently took a man with no brains, out from Kep&l& B&t&s, and put him in the Parliament for 5 years, and now half the country is looking for work.'

Monkey See, Monkey Do

2008-06-27T11:30:00.005+08:00

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.

He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.

The offer was increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers......'Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each.'
The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys in the cage.

They never saw the man nor his assistant ever again, only monkeys everywhere!

Do you now have a better understanding of how the stock market works.

Niamah!

2008-06-23T17:13:00.003+08:00

Below are some examples of how simple some solutions can be...maybe some top guns in my company can benefit from this..kekekekeke

1. When NASA began launching astronauts into space, they found out that the astronauts' pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink wouldn't flow down to the writing surface). It took them one decade and $12 million to solve this problem. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on practically any surface including crystal, and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

And what did the Russians do? The Russians used a pencil.....NIAMAH!!!!

2. One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management techniques was the case of the empty soap box, which occurred in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line, to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount of time and money to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into the complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

3. A 50 feet long trailer having 48" wheels got stuck while entering a midtown tunnel in New York because it was approximately 2.5 feet taller than the height of the tunnel. The fire department and the state department of transportation spent the whole day searching for a solution, to no avail.

Then a child, aged about 9 years, asked his father, "Why can't they take out the air from the tyre tubes? The height will automatically come down"

Have been truly under the weather lately which in turn made me assick like a dog...too sick to even blog about anything..

I am still on medication as of todate. The Doc told me that I caught a case of the viral infection that is running rampant nowadays....blardie thing made me feel like all my joints had contracted rheumatoid arthritis...my back was aching like hell making sleep near impossible...KNN!!!

The worse thing that could happen happened!! I passed this viral thingy to my two sons who is now temporarily "out of commission". Pity my wife who had to take 2 days emergency leave just to look after her 3 babies.

Will continue blogging when everything is back to normal...

Bubba Gump @ The Curve

2008-05-20T22:59:00.002+08:00

Took my family for lunch at the Bubba Gump Restaurant at the Curve last Monday ( Wesak Day ).

Had to make a beeline there for two reasons:

1) To make up for Mother's Day lunch which I missed out due to late booking

AND

2) Been to the Buuba Gump Restaurant in Las Angeles last year and was very curious to see if there is any difference between the two in terms of price, service, menus and servings.

My conclusion is this...

ONE HELL OF A RESTAURANT CHAIN!!!!

KUDOS!!!

The prices they offered was very reasonable, servings was stupendously huge and service was super top notched.

The only setback was the limitation in their menu...a tad different from what was offered in the USA. Maybe some additions are on the way..who knows?

Anyway, let me list down what we had....

My brother ordered the Fish Wich, Isaac and Ivan had the kiddy meal ( Fish & Chips ), Wifey and my mum ( the two mothers ) shared the 4 variety shrimp plate, I ordered the American Burger as well as 3/4 pounds of cajun shrimp as appetizers for everyone. The meal ended with take aways and we couldn't even finish what was on the table...kekekeekeke..the bloody serving was that HUGE ( go there with a super empty stomach!! )

The surprising part was the bill...it only came up to RM239.00 inclusive of tax. That includes the drinks which I forgot to mention...2 Lemon smoothies ( u get to take back the cup with running & blinking lights at the bottom...damn cute!! ), 1 peach Rock & Roll, 1 Orange juice..

Not bad for a 4 adults + 2 kiddies meal huh?

Will surely go back there cos Isaac and Ival has been bugging me non stop ever since that fateful day..

Trick or Treat??

2008-05-16T14:19:00.005+08:00

Been speaking with my cousin Bernie on post programs for photography recently and found out that a lot have changed since my last indulgence into photography...

For me, the most noticeable difference between old school photography and the present is the common use of...you guessed it, computer aided softwares or editing programs.

It is a stage aptly termed as post processing whereby pictures can be made "better" by editing via programs such as Image Manipulation Process ( IMP ) or High Dynamic Range ( HDR , etc, etc...the list is endless.

To me, that takes the fun out of photography...

I remember that during the "olden and golden" days, a good photographer is required to take into account the ISO settings, Apeture settings, shutter speed, ect settings before even thinking of composing a picture...lens filters can be added on to create the desired effect e.g. sunset, star six, andromeda burst, diopter and such but the practice has since been labelled defunked via the simple click and regenerate button of the said softwares.

Nowadays is flick to "Auto" mode then shoot, shoot and shoot, then edit, edit and edit to make the end result 99% perfect..

So much for skills and old school huh?

BUT everything has its pros and cons as I am also a believer that technology is friendly and good when one uses it properly...

As for me, I will try my level best to use less of softwares and more of skills. On the positive side, maybe its an avenue for me to gauge my skill against artificially induced and modified pictures..

Below is an example of what I am harping about...

Original unedited picture

Picture edited with depth and softener

picture edited with lens glare effect, added supernova and softener

Get what I am trying to say? very nice after effects huh?

Photographer for hire!!!!! anybody want their picture taken??

2008 BolehLand Tax Revision

2008-05-15T16:25:00.003+08:00

The only thing that the Income Tax Department has not taxed yet is the male penis.

This is due to the fact that:

69% of the time it is hanging around unemployed,
20% of the time it is hard up,
10% of the time it is pissed off
and 10% of the time it is in a hole.

On top of that, it has two dependents and they are both nuts!

HOWEVER, effective January 1st, 2008, the penis will now be taxed according to size:

The brackets are as follows:

10 - 12' Luxury Tax $300.00
8 - 10' Pole Tax $250.00
5 - 8' Privilege Tax $150.00
3 - 5 ' Nuisance Tax $30.00

Males exceeding
12' must file capital gains.

Anyone under 4'
is eligible for a tax refund.

AND

PLEASE DO NOT
ASK FOR AN EXTENSION !

Valentina Hasan - Ken Lee

2008-05-15T11:29:00.002+08:00

Have been receiving quite a number of emails labelled as funny/lol/hilarious regarding this "Ken Lee" song which was sung by Valentina Hasan ( original artist is Mariah Carey ) in the Bulgarian Idol Show.

Initially I was also caught by the moment and snickered...well, laugh out loud la, if you must know but after listening to it a few times my thoughts started to change...its not funny at all...

Bloody hell!!! what the fuck am I laughing at her for? what right do I have to think that I am better than her? Fuck!!

the freaking minimal least is that she dares to sing on an Idol Show... ( not easy with the panel of arsehole judges )

At least she tried her best to sing what she understands of the song...I mean, have any of you guys/gals tried your fucking best to memorize a song from languages that you don't understand? ( try tamil, greek, thai,etc for instance..u would go lubitubi tout shoo as well )

She should be applauded for her courage instead of being laughed at....

Shit! try congratulating her in her native language and I'll bet that Valentina will roll over laughing BUT I doubt she is as cruel as that...

The commentators in the improved version said it the best:

" Ladies and Gentlemen, let's welcome the lady who listens to music with her heart"

This proves that music has no barriers...a universal language...Btw, how many of us have the freaking courage to do what she did? I for one, am not in the same league as Valentina Hasan....she is a better human being than I will ever be.

I wish her well from the bottom of my heart...May All Your Dreams Come True.

Cyclone Nargis

2008-05-12T23:25:00.008+08:00

This post is dedicated to the victims of Cyclone Nargis...wanted to blog about it sooner but couldn't....the post and pre situation made me too sick even to talk about it.

Received the pictures via email from my God sister ( thanks Pam )on the aftermath and destruction left behind by Cyclone Nargis that hit Myanmar...

An excerpt from the Star Online explains curtly on why the death toll is so high when, in truth it can be greatly reduced....

"With communications down, we were unable to get news on the magnitude of the disaster. All attempts to get a clearer picture of the situation, as well as the safety of our guide's family were futile.

“This is how the military junta keeps control of us – divide and rule. If something happens in one part of the country, those in the other states will not know of it,'' he said.

"The guide said no warning was given to the people in the hit areas. In a country where the media is controlled and telecommunications infrastructure is under-developed, the people usually get whatever information there is from independent short-wave radio services like the Voice of America and BBC World Service.

“Most people are too poor to have radios though, so they would have been totally unprepared for the cyclone,” he said.

Frustrated by the lack of news on local TV, he said: “Our government only wants people to see everything that is fine in the country. That’s why there is no news on the disaster.”

In the rural areas of the Irrawady Delta and the west coast, the death toll was officially reported to be about 22,400, but international experts are estimating it to have crossed 100,000.

And, with the military junta dragging its feet over opening the doors to international aid, a greater catastrophic loss of life is predicted.

Even now, a medical volunteer has reported that an increasing number of people have been infected with fever and diarrhoea. There is also news of death from snakes and attacks from crocodiles near the flooded swampy areas.

It is feared that unless urgent action is taken, the death toll could be bigger, even more than that of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami.

John Holmes, the United Nation’s humanitarian chief, described the Myanmar cyclone crisis as “increasingly desperate” and urged for political pressure from world leaders to allow aid in."

Fuck military and iron fist rule...they are nothing more than ploys for personal gains and satisfaction. I sincerely hope that "some country" will send their elite squad to assisinate the son of bitches for what they have done to the pure and innocent over there.

I personally have a friend by the name of Gary comes from the Yangoon area. The poor bugger was totally devastated when the Nargis news broke out....till today he doesn't have a clue as to the survival of his family...phone lines are down as well as any forms of contemporary communication.

Still, he puts on a brave face and continues to work...day in and day out..work, work and work just to numb himself from the thought that he might not see his family again...aaarrrrgg!!!! its things like this that will totally fuck up my day.

Gary my friend, my heart goes out to you in these trying times, be brave my dear friend and May The Lord enclose you and your loved ones in his warm embrace.

Proton Saga BLM

2008-05-08T23:35:00.003+08:00

1st of May = Labour Day

1st of May = Collected the new car which I bought for my Dad, the new Proton Saga BLM ( dunno what the hell it stands for ). Took the full spec version which costed me RM39,998.00, silver coloured as Dad is not a person to always wash his ride.

Placed the order about 1 month back with a waiting period of 6 months ( sicko wait!! ). Well, knowing me and my level of patience I immediately asked my brother to pull some strings in order to get the car faster. Managed to get it after about 1+ month which includes a few calls to the Proton's MD office ( pity Datuk's Personal Assistant, Puan Sabrina...kekeke ).

I consider the Proton Saga BLM a nice and nifty car to drive, it has a good power to weight ratio, handling has been improved but the main thing that surprised me the most was the spaciousness of its interior cabin. It can seat 4 adults comfortably with enough horses left to keep with the pace of normal traffic. Just for your info, I crammed the test car with 4 adults and 2 kids during the test drice session and still managed a reasonable 120 km/h cruising speed. Bumps and road unevenness have been very well addressed by the new and revamped absorber system. Brakes system installed are disc for front and drum for rear which is more than adequate for a compact car.

Took the car for a polish and thereon to a tinting job the next day, below are some pics of the detailing...

All in all, its a safe and able means of transport to ferry my kids and mum to school. At least I can have peace knowing that the chances of receiving breakdown calls from my dad with this new car is greatly reduced as opposed to his 15 year old Kancil clunker..hehehehe.

The next mission for me is to take a drive up to my hometown in Penang and gauge its performance for long distance travelling. No doubt it will not be as comfortable as my Chevvy but I think it will hold its own...

When George Burns was 97 years old he was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah asked," Mr. Burns, how do you carry so much energy with you? You are always working and at your age I think that is remarkable."

Mr. Burns said, "I just take good care of myself and enjoy what I do when I do it."

Oprah said, "I understand you still do the sex thing, even at your age."

George said, "Of course I still do the sex thing, and I am quite good at it."

Oprah said, "I have never been with an older man, would you do it with me?"

So they had sex and when they finished Oprah said, "I just don't believe I have ever been so satisfied, you are a remarkable man."

George said, "The second time is even better than the first time."

Oprah said, "You can really do it again at your age?"

George said, "Just let me sleep for 1/2 hour. You hold my testicles in your left hand and my penis in your right hand and wake me up in thirty minutes."

When she woke him up, they again had great sex, and Oprah was beside herself with joy.

She said, "Oh Mr. Burns, I am astounded that you could do a repeat performance and have it be better than the first time. At your age, Oh My, Oh My!!!"

George said that the third time would be even better. "You just hold my testicles in your left hand and my penis in your right hand and wake me in thirty minutes."

Oprah said, "Does me holding you like that kind of recharge your batteries?"

George said, "No, but the last time I had sex with a black woman she stole my wallet!"

Few things happened to me today....

First thing was this accident ( refer to picture below ):

Glad to see that the lady driver ( in pink circle ) was ok...she was standing with her mouth open, teary eyed and hands on her handbag....so I guess she was ok except shell shocked.

Her car, a Hyundai Matrix ( circled in Green ) was ok too....at least this accident proves that Matrix drivers can roll their cars for about ten times without getting hurt..kekekekeke..."Just Do It"

Second thing was this.....my company's favourite pass time, lining up for tickets when the local municipal council come on their rounds to summon parking offenders ( i.e. too lazy & stingy to purchase tickets...me included )

Close up view of the loyal ticket purchasing followers...pls take note of the lady infront...she is my company's Beauty Queen....people see, people like, car see, car give a ride, ghost see, ghost come to life..WAAAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAA...
aitelyuuuu, she is the spokesperson for Gillette Shavers and Shaving Cream...fuuuyoooh!!! her legs are on papers WORLDWIDE..

BUT one bugger had to bite the dust....poor bloke kena "saman" liao...anybody know this car belongs to whom? come on, three guesses..

Well, thats another day in Paradise....life goes on...saman goes on....beauty goes on.....shaving goes on...

Fast cars and superbikes have been a passion of mine ever since I got my first ride...a Proton Saga of the Magma series....

Modified it to hell because I was getting sick of eating the dust fed by the famed Genting taxis on the way uphill....

Change the engine from a normal aspirated 8 valve 82hp to a 180hp Mivec coupled to a LSD ( Limited Slip Diffential ). Standard shocks were replaced with Tein dampers and coils to lower the car and increase its stability. Needless to say the damage on my pocket was really obscene...but i managed to smoke those taxis until they gave me the finger....waaahahahahahaha....wonder where is WBL 5569 now?

Neways, this post is not about my "Potong" Saga...its about another dream machine called...

The Ford Mustang....KNN, what a ride!!!!! It cost only USD19,650 in the States but knowing the stoooopid BolehLand G, its will be 6 times the price if one were to bring it in....thanks to the sohai APs ( Approval Permits )...sucks big time!!

Let me show you guys/gals what I am rambling about here ok?

The FORD MUSTANG

I will drive an American Muscle Car anytime as compared to a Japanese Sports Car which I feel are too nice looking and pampered for my liking....

In case you were wondering where in hell have I seen the car before?? let me refresh your memories....

Ford Mustang as Barricade in Transformers The Movie..

And as KITT in Knight Rider ( replacing the Transam )....

I know that its wishful thinking hoping that Ford Malaysia will bring in even the Saleen series ( not the GT )....no harm to hope huh?

Below are the specification for the Mustang:

5.4L supercharged, intercooled DOHC V8 engine
500 hp @ 6000 rpm and 480 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4500 rpm
9.0 psi boost
Forged-steel crankshaft
Forged-steel I-Beam connecting rods
6-speed manual transmission
Dual 60-mm electronic throttle body
4-channel ABS brakes with traction control system
Modified 8.8" live axle with 3.31:1 gear ratio
Brembo® 14" vented front rotors and 4-piston calipers
11.8" vented rear rotors with 2-piston calipers
SVT-tuned suspension with unique shocks and springs
Tuned stainless steel X-pipe exhaust
P255/45ZR18 front F1 Supercar tires
P285/40ZR18 rear F1 Supercar tires
18" x 9.5" bright machined-aluminum wheels with SVT center caps

The above has been labelled as "STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS" in Ford's catalogue....aaargg! Kindly excuse me while I go bang my head....agaian and again and again and again...duuuuh

Finally it happened!!! After so long a wait, it finally came true...

Tun Mahathir has his own blog ( http://www.chedet.com/ )...yaaahoooooooo!!!!

At least the rakyat can now have a voice that can equal the voice of the "superior" minority of arseholes left in the "G"...

Some said that bloggers helped the "Opposition" in their quest this passed election....hmmmm...maybe its true to a point but who is to know what are facts and what are myths ( to put it in a better way ) because of all the filtration that is going on in the media nowadays.

Hopefully, with the existence of more and more of such blogs as mentioned, the "some" still stooopid Rakyats will have another avenue to weigh the pros and cons before making retarded decisions.....

Thank you Tun Mahathir for starting the blog.....I for one ( my personal opinion ok? ) believe that you have done more Good than Evil for BolehLand...and I was very saddened by your statement when you said that "they" have treated you like a Pariah after your retirement from the political scene..... You did and said what you think was right and to be branded a coward and pariah for doing just that was just a wee bit to much for a person to swallow.....my sincerest sympathies to you Tun..

BUT

May you be Blessed with longevity and May the Truth(s) be told...and May The Force Be With You ( hehehehehe )....YOU THE MAN, Tun!!!!

My Nikon D80 DSLR

2008-05-02T15:57:00.007+08:00

Finally took the decision to jump back onto the band wagon of my fav past time...

PHOTOGRAPHY....

Was actively pursuing it until work related commitments made me give it up. My previous camera was a Canon A-1 film based SLR ( Single Lens Reflect ) which can still be used but I thought of getting a new fangled DSLR ( Digital Single Lens Reflect ) camera to compliment the Canon A-1.

I like to take all kinds of photographs.....stills, potraits, macros, animals, insects, you name it and chances are that I have shot the frame before.

So, it was to no surprise of Wifey when she caught me browsing thru the net, looking at reviews and forums of DSLRs...and it was also to no surprise of mine when she asked me the fateful question one sunny day...with a smirk on her face she said..

"Whats up with you darling? Long time never see you use your Canon liao woh? Looking to start again I see....which model are you contemplating this time round?"

My answer was a simple " just browsing the net only ma, see what my old kakis are up to"

"Yeah, right!!" was her lovely reply...kekekekeke

Took my family to 1 Utama yesterday on the pretext of taking the kids out for a walk ( Labour Day ) but in reality I was on the hunt...hunt for a DSLR...I think Wifey could read my mind because she had on this funny smile from the start....hehehehe, this is what marriage will do to you...after a while it gets telephatic KNN.

Bought some Speed Racer toys for my two monkeys and walked around for a bit...it was then when Wifey siad this to me "Darling, let me take the kids for a meal or something, give me a ring when you have decided on which camera to buy"..I was like "???" YAAAAHOOOOOOOOO and uttered an "OK" with the straightest face that I could muster in light of the given situation..

I hurried to one of the Camera shops on level 3 that I have secretly dropped by a few times the past week and got myself a Nikon D80 ( pic below, review at http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/NikonD80/ ) DSLR.

I admit that I might have to spend more for some extra lenses because of the non compatibility of my existing Canon lens but what the heck!! Nikon make fabulous lenses as well...Canon has its IS system ( Image Stabilizing ) wherelse Nikon has it VR ( Vibration Control )...maybe can get some 3rd party lens ( Sigma, Tamron, etc ) during my impending trip to Japan this June.

All in all I spent RM3,600 which I paid in cash because the bugger wanted to charge my 2.5% extra if I use my plastic..KNN.

What I got was this:

Nikon D80 x 1 unit
18mm-135mm lens x 1 unit
2 pcs of 2 gb SD card
1 unit of UV filter
Screen Protector x 1
Nikon Tripod x 1
Nikon camera bag x 1

I still find the D80 quite user friendly eventhough the camera has been in the market for about 2 years plus. I admit that specification wise it is not comparable with the Canon 40 but neither is the price.

As of today, I am still fiddling with the operational features of the D80 to familiarize myself with Nikon's user interface. Hope that I can start posting some pictures very, very soon.....

Lastly, my sincerest thanks to Wifey for understanding me...THANK YOU...

This is written in the Hebrew Talmud, the book where all of the sayings and preaching of
Rabbis are conserved over time.

It says:

"Be very careful if you make a woman
cry, because God counts her tears.

The woman came out of a man's rib.

Not from his feet to be walked on.

Not from his head to be superior, but
from the side to be equal.

Under the arm to be protected,

and next to the heart to be loved."

No wonder men always want to be inside women! ( How true...yaaaahoooooo!!!! )

Men were born between the legs of a woman, yet men spend all their life and time trying to go back between the legs of a woman....( again, very, very true!!! ) Why? BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Okay, Okay, it all makes sense now... I never looked at it this way before:

Ever notice how all of women's problems start with MEN?

MENtal illness
MENstrual cramps
MENtal breakdown
MENopause

A Sikh man is walking along Jalan Bukit Bintang, in Kuala Lumpur one night
when a very gorgeous girl catches his eye.

He strikes up a conversation with her, and quickly discovers that she is
one of those "exclusive" ladies-of-the-trade.

"How much do you charge?", asks Gerdial Singh

Mary replies, "It starts at 500 ringgit for a hand-job."

Gerdial says, "500 ringgit for a hand-job? No hand-job is worth that kind
of money!"

With a saucy flick of her eyelashes, Mary says, "Do you see that Mary
Restaurant on the corner?"

"Yes."

"Do you see the next Mary's about another block further down?"

"Yes."

"And beyond that, do you see the third Mary's, just by the side of the old
Cathay cinema?"

"Yes."

"Well," says Mary, smiling invitingly, "I own those.

And, I own them because I give a hand-job that's worth 500 ringgit."

Gerdial then exclaims, "What the hell? You only live once. I'll give
it a try."

They checked in to the nearby Marriott Hotel.

A short time later, Mr Gerdial Singh is sitting on the bed realising that
he just experienced the hand-job of a lifetime, worth every bit of 500
ringgit.

He is so amazed, he says, "I suppose a blow-job is 1,000 ringgit?"

Mary replies, "RM1,500."

"I wouldn't pay that for a blow-job!"

Mary then says, while signalling Gerdial to come closer to her.

"Come closer to this window, big boy. Do you see that bank just across the
junction to Jalan Sultan Ismail?

I own that bank outright. And I own it because I give a blow-job that's
worth every sen of 1,500 ringgit !"

And poor Gerdial, basking in the afterglow of that terrific hand-job,
decides to put off his intended new mobile phone and says, "Give it to me
!!!"

Ten minutes later, he is sitting on the bed more amazed than before.

Mr Singh can scarcely believe it but he feels he truly got his money's
worth.

He decides to dip into what else he may have left with him for one more
glorious and unforgettable experience.

He then asks Mary,"How much for some pussy?"

Mary replies, "Come over here to this other window, I want to show you
something.

Do you see how the whole city of Kuala Lumpur is laid out before us .....
all those beautiful lights, banks .... corporate offices ... business houses
..... and big-&-small shops and places?"

"Wowwww !!" Gerdial shouts out in awe, "You own the whole city ??"

"No," Mary replies, "but I would if I had a pussy."

WOOOOHOOOOOHHOOOOOO....sounds like the bugger in my office......hahahahahaha...

The Woman Of My Life

2008-04-30T17:06:00.003+08:00

I am trying to be as frank and truthful as I can with this post...

Let's start off with myself....

Basically, I am a very hot headed person,
A perfectionist,
full of unpredictability, meaning, things that really bug others will not bother me but things that others see as nothing might get me burning like hell,
etc,etc,etc..

I admit that I am not an easy person to work with......I demand the best from myself and of others....sometimes to the point that its being perceived as "bossy"...

People who know me well understand what I am trying to accomplish

People who don't know me well hate my guts like hell ( this is how I like it!! )...

My close friends know that I will always be there for them no matter what.....

My wife and family know that I will gladly die for them...

I am no Angel but neither am I a Devil...

I have since learnt to cool down and see things thru "wide vision"...this is all thanks to The Woman In My Life....My Dearest Wifey...

Hey, please don't get me wrong, I am not trying to show off or let off steam....its a fact that everyone is important to someone right? In my case its my wife...

I admit that I would not have accomplished as many things today if not for her...

Most importantly, I thank her for giving me the two best"est" things in my life....my kids, Isaac and Ivan....and another big thank you for being my wife...

More often than not, I have made her unhappy with all the travelling that is involved in my work but I know that she will always try to put on a brave front so that I don't feel any reluctantcy to leave the house....

She will also try her best o make me laugh by acting the goon whenever I have a bad day at the office.....nowadays she acts the goon quite often...kekekekeke

Thank you for being my wife, thank you for giving me two wonderful children. If ever so that I have to leave abruptly, I know that the children will be well taken care off.....

I Love You Wifey........

Birthdays...??

2008-04-28T14:14:00.005+08:00

Birthdays.....what is in a birthday?

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Supposed to be a time where friends and family members rejoice the day that you came into this world...a wailing, bouncing, pink, healthy, cheeky package right?

Birthdays are celebrated around the world repetitively by all creed and races. In short, its a time of rememberance for when one came about...

For me, I rarely celebrate my birthdays....its not because I am shy to let the world know how old I am ( 37 this year ) BUT I will celebrate it only if my mum and dad are around....why? some may ask...

Its simple...to me, a birthday is not a time for rejoicing the day I came into this world BUT it should be a time where I remember the pain and suffering that my mum went thru bringing me into the world....without her ( and my dad ) there will not be a me or any birthday whatsoever to celebrate right?

Therefore, I always make it a point to remind my kids how bloody painful it was for their mum to give birth to them....

For Isaac ( 22nd June 2000 ), I had to keep fanning a makeshift fan for the whole 23 hours because wifey complained that she was feeling hot all of the time ( I was shivering with cold ). That, coupled with the fact that I had to "pakat" with the doctor to pull while I pushed my wife's stomach because she was too weak to do it. I cannot forget the sound the scissors made when the doctor made the opening bigger so that Isaac could pop out..aaaarrgg! Neither could I forget the sight of all the "bak kut teh" that splashed out together with Isaac and the sound of my wife screaming with pain and relief at the same time...ouch!

I regret to say that for Ivan ( 17th June 2002 ) the Doctor did not let me into the room because they needed to do a ceaser on wifey because Ivan was distressed. Wifey later told me that the Doctor called a bunch of trainees to stand around her while they did the operation. She even told me that she was conscious all of the time because they only numbed half of her body. She even felt it when the Doctor put his hands into her to feel for the baby...aaaaaoooouuch! Bloody hell, the Doctor was lucky that wifey related all that to me at home or I would have punched his freaking lights out in front of his students so that he could have a feel how it felt to be gawked upon...KNNCCB!

Anyways, back to birthdays....whatever what people might say, I am still of my PERSONAL opinion that birthday is a time for one to remember our mum's pain, suffering, agony and shame ( in some instances ) AND also not forgetting the torment that we put her through when bringing us up as opposed to common cultural practise.....as for dad, well, he had his pains and fun in the process ( thanks anyway..kekeke )

HECK, its 2 every1 his/her OWN....................

I miss You like CRAZY

2008-04-25T10:18:00.004+08:00

Live seems kinda boring after Suzy is gone......

Spent endless days day dreaming of the times I had with Suzy......

The tension I felt in her when the wind caressed her curves..........

The times when she gave me her undying and undivided attention........

The assurance of togetherness whenever I am astride her............

I really miss Suzy.......till today I still cannot forget her.....

My Suzuki RF600RR......

The consolation is that she's being sold to another owner who will love and take care of her as I have done. Be good to your new owner Suzy......see you when I see you.

And all I have left with me is faithful old Nolan.....

Age Test

2008-04-24T10:36:00.003+08:00

Guys, this post is specially for you....maybe you can apply it in real live...read, remember and learn..

A woman decides to have a facelift for her 50th birthday.
She spends $15,000 and feels pretty good about the results.

On her way home, she stops at a news stand to buy a newspaper.
Before leaving, she says to the clerk,
'I hope you don't mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?'
'About 32,' is the reply.'
'Nope! I'm exactly 50,' the woman says happily.

A little while later she goes into McDonald's and asks the counter girl the
very same question.

The girl replies, 'I'd guess about 29.'
The woman replies with a big smile, 'Nope, I'm 50.'

Now she's feeling really good about herself. She stops in a drug store on
her way down the street. She goes up to the counter to get some mints and asks the clerk this burning question.

The clerk responds, 'Oh, I'd say 30.'
Again she proudly responds, 'I'm 50, but thank you!'

While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to
her the same question.

He replies, 'Lady, I'm 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was
young there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra. Then, and only then can I tell you EXACTLY how old you are.'

They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the best of her.

She finally blurts out, 'What the hell, go ahead.'

He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very
slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast and he gently pinches each nipple. He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other.

After a couple of minutes of this, she says, 'Okay, okay....How old am I?'

He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and says,

'Madam, you are 50.'

Stunned and amazed, the woman says, 'That was incredible, how could you tell?'

The old man says, 'Promise you won't get mad?'

'I promise I won't', she says.......

'I was behind you at McDonalds.'

Waaaahahahahahaaa.......2 every1 his/her OWN...........

The bloooody sohai is famous for throwing a spanner into the works all of the time....why can't the stoooopid chauhai just die!!!! die la, please die!!!!! or just fall down the steps and break every fucking bone in his body? KNN...

Those who are not working with me have no clue to what I am talking about...very sorry....this post is just to let off some steam.

I am seriously contemplating to pull out of my present assignment just because of this shit head....as usual, THE bastard is trying to show that he is worth something to the company...maybe he is scared off getting the boot by the principals when he gets to retirement age..

I will fuck off now if I were him....for God's sake, the whole damn world knows that this bastard is worth shit to the company.....always on the take ( refer to previous post of Candy Jar/Ass ), always screwing things up, always lazing on the job, super taichi masterbater...worthless piece of horse crap!! So worthless and despicable are his actions that even the flies won't land on his exposed wound...stooopid son of a fuck!!

If I had one wish, the wish would be to have someone walk up to him and literally shoot him in the face point blank range....but please punch out all his teeth and break his jaws before they do that...thank you in advance.

Its so sad to say that his kid got all of the repercussion because of his and his wife's mouth....wonder when they will learn not to put people in trouble and act responsibly....

Who done IT?

2008-04-23T13:22:00.005+08:00

One day during dinner, my youngest son ( Ivan ) asked my wife the most mind blowing question....it was something like this..

Ivan: Mummmy, can I get a Tattoo like Dad's? A big colourful one...

Wifey: Why would you want a tattoo dear?

Ivan: because Dad has one on each of his arms and I want one too...can I? can I?

Wifey: looks to me and puts on her " you see!!" face.

So, one fine day while in Penang, when we were out walking at one of the Malls...I sorta like came across one of those stalls offering temporary tattoo ( last about 2 weeks ) and I told wifey about it. We agreed to let Ivan get a tattoo done on his hand or buttocks or wherever he feels like it.

Ivan initially freaked out and refused to get the tattoo done but he eventually agreed on the condition that he gets to choose the tattoo design.

Our friend ended up with a dragon cum tribal based design that he liked, he even told the lady to do it in two colours for him ( black and green )....the whole thing lasted about 10 minutes and costed me RM32 including the additional colours.

All in all it was one hell of a good piece of work...I must say that it looks better than mine. Ivan was so damn proud of his tattoo that he told his mother that he wanted to get one that would not come off!!! Oh my God!! I took the chance to explain to him that a tattoo is a very,very personal thing and that it will not do him any good getting one now but we ( wifey and I ) will not object to him getting one when he has the right to vote...2 every1 his/her OWN right?

I dread the day Ivan start to ask me about " The Birds and The Bees"...sheeesh!! First thing I will tell him to do is to use a RUBBER no matter what..kekekekeke

For the records, his tattoed dragon head is fading and Ivan is now bugging me that take him for a new tattoo....any of you know of good temp tattoo kiosk around in PJ area please let me know ok? Thanks in advance...

Before I forget, I told wifey that in the event of a plane crash or some frightful accident where all the bodies might be mangled or burnt beyond recognition, she can always recognized me by my tattoos because its custom made and "customly" made for this purpose ( considering the frequency of me travelling in the course of my work )....thats the prime reason why I got myself tattooed..hehehe

Goodbye Grandma

2008-04-23T09:34:00.005+08:00

Went back to Penang on the 12th of this month to see the final step of my beloved Grandma's journey....the closing of her ash cubicle. Thanks to Pamela, Johnnie, Mandy, Timmy and all those who live in the Northern side who whole heartedly chipped in to make this occasion a success....THANK YOU, THANK YOU....

The ceremony went on well....started with offering and prayers ( 5 monks ) before the final sealing process. Grandma's favourite articles were brought over by my Auntie Cheng from Sungai Petani for this special occassion....her specs, a jewellery box, etc.

The whole ceremony was concluded within an hour....simple and fast...REST IN PEACE GRANDMA...I will forever miss you and thank you for all the hugs and kisses and for the guidance in making me who I am today...thank you..

All of us ended up by going to lunch at a hawker square after the ceremony. It was a chance to catch up on the past and present BUT I somehow felt that it will be like the last dinner that Jesus had....meaning that it will be a very, very long time before we can sit together again.

Anyway, it will be a waste of e-space to write on unhappy bygones....what I know is that Grandma has journeyed on to a better place where she will be with the ones she loves, who will in turn love her back unconditionally.....

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOUR SOUL AND MAY HE KEEP YOU SAFE ALWAYS...REST IN PEACE GRANDMA

2008-04-18T11:27:00.004+08:00

I use the highway to work everyday without fail...and everyday without fail I will get stuck in a jam at the Damansara to Subang stretch....

Thats the bane of motorist in Malaysia.....hvuck!

Pay to get on the highway only to end up in a crawl....wonder which bunch of moronic idiots are in charge of traffic control and wonder to whose pocket our toll money goes to. Last time, it was stooopid Samy fucking Veloo...now? to who? his mother?

The PLUS ( highway concessionaire ) could at leats implement some traffic control over high density areas la.....I know in some countries they open up extra lanes by closing up the oncoming traffic lanes but sad to say that we have a bunch of LAZY PIGS over here....

The situation will worsen when there's an accident ( irrespective which side of the traffic ) or when there are some BIG BALLED hotshot with KNNCCB Police escorts, sirens blaring rushing on some mistress screwing errand....how nice it would be if their energy used for screwing were to be channeled into improvement for the Rakyat....fucking pigs!!

I know that everyone will forever be faced with traffic problems as long as the need to travel is there...I also know that any/all complaints ( be it to the newspaper, blogs and shouting our head off ) will be fruitless....maybe a 4 teired highway can help but I wouldn't put my money on it because of BolehLand's super fucked up policy of taking 4 years to build, only 1 year to use redundant system...KNN....

Hopefully, the new State Goverment can do something about this but I seriously don't think so because Grey is Grey no matter what shade it's in....

Well, its back to the daily crawl unless I choose to sell off my car for a bicycle....

Those Were The Days My Friend

2008-04-17T10:35:00.002+08:00

A good friend of mine and my God Sister sent this to me via email....tot of sharing with you guys.....

It's Back To The Future....zooooomph!!

One lousy day in the middle of the economic crisis, PM Mahathir was feeling extremely frustrated and cracking his nuts wondering how a neighboring country can be doing better than Malaysia.

One of his aides said, "I heard that the leaders consult Feng Shui masters to ensure prosperity for the country".

Dr Mahathir thought if that was the case, Malaysia Bomoh also can do it maaa, and off he went to seek the top bomoh's advice.

After reviewing the case, the bomoh told Dr M that there were 2 things that he must do :

Bomoh : Step 1. You must blame the crisis on SOROS
for everything.
Dr M : But why ?

Bomoh: Because SOROS stands for 'Speculate On
Ringgit Or Stocks'.
You must blame him, and look at ways to control the
ringgit and stock market.

Bomoh : Step 2 - You must get rid of ANWAR.
Dr M: What! why him ?

Bomoh: Because ANWAR stands for 'A Nation Without
Any Ringgit'.
Dr M: But how ? This is most difficult to do, he is
popular with the people.

Bomoh : Aiyoh, you bodoh lah! Look at your name,
MAHATHIR = Make Anwar Homosexual And Then Highlight It
Repeatedly.

Well, in the place where I work there is this guy who likes to put his hands in the candy jar...he thinks no one notices but if only he knew....if only he knew....

Sad to say the laws in BolehLand is not that "punishing" towards those who posseses a sweet tooth with hands to go with it.....worse to worse its 1-2 years jail for CBT ( Criminal Breach Of Trust ) and they come out a millionaire.....fvucks!!

Back to the candy jar bugger in my place of work.......

I dunno how he can face the shareholders with a straight face after swindling/stealing/cheating their money....really dunno how leh...

I sincerely hope that they will get tired of his antics and report him to the relevant authorities but thats super duper wishful thinking on my part cos it won't happen in a godzillion years...double fvucks.

Origin of Batman

2008-03-21T15:32:00.004+08:00

There have been much debate regarding Superheroes and their origin....

Does superheroes exists? one may ask.....

Do they live amongst us?

The X-Men, Justice League...just to name a fabled few

Even the Primetime AXN show...apptlt titled HEROES is based on mortal beings with the power of superhumans....

So, the question remains....do superheroes exists?

I am proud to announce that I have found one such superhero who leads a normal life, with family and a day job......he is the famed BATMAN...sad to say that he is living in Singapore and not BolehLand....

Difficult to believe? Below is the photograph evidence that he exists....and also evidence that Superman is the Father of Batman

Shopping value....GREAT, 110%

Entertainment value.....YEEEES, 150%

Relaxation value....errrrr, 10% ( will be further elaborated via pics below..kekekekeke )

Wanted to bring along Wifey but the cost did not justify my decision ( actually it was Wifey's decision not to come and not mine...now I owe Wifey a holiday...shucks )

Ended up spending lots of moolah ( could have been more if Wifey came ) and super duper time with my colleagues........

Some went for the Spiderman Show la, Some 69 Show la...me? I went to the 69 show....

Sad to say that we were not allowed to carry any mobiles or cameras into the show....will try to give the gist thru words

69...what a hell of a show...

The whole thing was about how a person transform himself from a boy to a ladyboy

1st part....normal boys with ding dongs doing things that boys/men should. Live "F" show on the audience lap ( kaninabeh...imagine a coupled doing it on your lap..shit! )
2nd part.....boys with ding dongs and papayas ( 50% ladyboys )
3rd part.....boys with no ding dongs ( some damn freaking cute I tell u!!!! )

One of the cutest of the show asked my and JJ why we didnt like ladyboys....nabeh!!

I told her/him to not get us wrong...we liked ladyboys...wouldn't mind going for a drink with them but thats where the line is drawn.....hey, I CANNOT bring myself to have sex with a ladyboy ma ( dunno about JJ though )....2 every1 his/her OWN right?

Facts, Trivias & Follies - 2008 Polls

2008-03-17T09:57:00.004+08:00

Barisan Nasional only gained about 51 percent of the popular vote from the 7.9 million ballots cast on Saturday.

However, it took 63 percent of the seats contested - or 140 of 222 seats in Parliament.

Interestingly, its peninsula-wide popular vote was only 49.79 percent, which effectively means that the opposition received the majority vote in this part of the country.

However, when converted to parliamentary seats, BN has 85 of the constituencies in the peninsula, while the opposition bagged 80.Almost 40 percent of the BN's seats are in Sabah and Sarawak - 55 out of 140.

In 2004, BN won about 64 percent of the popular vote nationwide and 92 percent of the 219 parliamentary seats on offer then.

As the dust settles on the 12th general election, we highlight a number of quirky facts and figures.

Election trivia

The youngest candidate was PKR's Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, who is 26. He defeated Seri Setia incumbent Seripa Noli Syed Hussin.

The oldest candidate was grandma Maimun Yusuf, 89, who contested in the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat. She lost her deposit.

56 also-rans from opposition parties and independent candidates lost their deposits after failing to secure one-eighth of the votes cast.

The largest majority was won by DAP's Teresa Kok against BN's Carol Chew, by 36,492 votes in the Seputeh parliamentary seat in Kuala Lumpur.

The smallest majority was just 14 votes for BN's Hamdi Abu Bakar who beat Abu Bakar Haji Hussain of PAS in the Pengkalan Baharu state seat in Perak.

Four pivotal players in the Lingam tape scandal also won: Loh Gwo Burne (who recorded the footage), Wee Choo Keong (lawyer who represented VK Lingam's brother during the inquiry) and R Sivarasa and Sim Tze Tzin (listed as witnesses but eventually not called). All four are from PKR.

There will be two 'lone rangers' in Parliament: Zulhasnan Rafique, the sole BN survivor in Kuala Lumpur's 11 parliamentary seats - he took Setiawangsa; and DAP's Chong Chieng Jen who won Bandar Kuching in Sarawak - the remaining 30 parliamentary seats went to BN.

The biggest number of candidates was in the Sukau state seat, Sabah, where eight candidates ran, including five Independents.

Debutant politiciansProminent blogger Jeff Ooi - whose campaign was done online and funds were raised through his website - won the Jelutong parliamentary seat in Penang for DAP.

Other bloggers are Tony Pua (DAP, Petaling Jaya Utara parliamentary seat), Elizabeth Wong (PKR, Bukit Lanjan state seat) and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (PKR, Seri Setia state seat).Civil society activists who succeeded were Charles Santiago (DAP, water-privatisation issues), Edward Lee (DAP, local community), Elizabeth Wong and R Sivarasa (PKR, human rights).

The losses in BN component parties will result in vacancies in various ministries, forcing a cabinet reshuffle.Biggest blows attributed are losses of Ministers as below:

S Samy Vellu (Works Ministry)

Shahrizat Abdul Jalil (Women, Family and Community Development Ministry)

Zainuddin Maidin (Information Ministry)

Abdul Aziz Shamsuddin (Rural and Territory Development Ministry)

Deputy ministers

Chia Kwang Chye (Information Ministry)

G Palanivel (Women, Family and Community Development)

Tan Chai Ho (Home Ministry)

V Veerasingam (Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry)

S Sothinathan (Natural Resources and Environment Ministry)

Donald Lim (Tourism Ministry)

Fu Ah Kiow (Internal Security Ministry)

M Kayveas (Prime Minister's Department)

Parliamentary secretaries

Chew Mei Fun (Women, Family and Community Development Ministry)

P Komala Devi (Education Ministry)

Lee Kah Choon (Health Ministry)

Ng Lip Yong (Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry)

S Vigneswaran (Youth and Sports Ministry)

Rahman Ibrahim (Home Ministry)

Dr Mohd Ruddin Ab Ghani (Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry)

Yew Teong Look (Federal Territories Ministry)

The full team from the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry all lost in the polls.All top MIC leaders were wiped out - president, deputy presidents, two vice-presidents, women's chief and youth chief (one of the three vice-presidents, KS Nijar, did not contest).

Post-election quotes:-

Anwar Ibrahim, PKR de facto leader, quoted in Star
Some mentris besar in the past spent half-a-million ringgit to renovate their offices. Such things cannot be an example in this new administration.

Nurul Izzah Anwar, Lembah Pantai MP at a press conference (On whether she will vacate the seat to force a by-election so that her father, Anwar Ibrahim, can re-enter politics after a five-year ban):
I have already started working in my constituency. The question does not arise.

PPP president M Kayveas, quoted in Star:
Prior to the elections, Barisan Nasional had kept on telling people to show their dissatisfaction through the ballot box. Now they have really shown it.

Sungai Petani losing BN candidate Zainuddin Maidin, quoted in Star:
It is not that they love PKR or PAS more that they voted against me. The Chinese showed their resentment because of the economic backlash they often complained about. So, PAS and PKR should not be overly proud of their win (in Kedah).

The people may have to pay a price for their decision.

A Tribute

2008-03-13T12:53:00.003+08:00

Aiyoooo...the elections has ended...some happy, some not so happy , some even won while in ISA, some down right sad while some......aiks, no comments. Newyas, below is the tribute to a splendid and wonderful human being which has made many, many, many people in BolehLand so very, very, very happy to see him g*.....

A few of his famous quotes rings on until today....
"Evereeey Dog has its day"
"I veel be around as long as there are indians"

boleh is the interview given by this super duper man on space travel:

Semi: '...Bagi saya, ini semua adalah satu pembaziran atas duit rakyat.Kita sepatutnya tidak hantar mereka ke bulan, tapi hantar mereka pergi matahari. Barulah USA, Russia, respect sama kita....'

Penemuramah: Tapi Dato' Seri, matahari kan panas.. Macam mana mau pergi sana?

Semi: Cit! itu pasal la u tarajadi mintri. Saya suda lebey 30 tahun jadi mintri, saya musti ada jalan penyelesaian. Kita jangan pergi siang, manyak panas. kita pigi malam, baru ada sujuuuuuk......

More of his famous quotes:

Semi Value on pos laju :- "BESOK KIRIM, HARI INI SAMPAI"

On TV when in trying to say he was ashamed, he said:`Kemaluan saya besar`

Semi once said in a ceremah "Kita akan bina satu jambatan untuk orong-orong kampong disini"
one pakcik asked, "Datuk, sini takde sungai,buat apa bina jambatan?" and Semi gloriously replied,"Kalau takde sungai, kita bina sungai!"

Funny to note that whenever Samy opens his mouth it's always at volume 10...have never heard him talk softer.

Semi's favorite quote on national television for the decade is this lah:
"Toll naik sikit, manyak marah saya. You ingat semua ini toll saya punya bapa punya kah!" ( quitely answer in our hearts....bukan lu punya bapak punya, tapi emak engkau yg punya )

Semasa krisis air: "semua orang diminta jgn membuang aiyerr..!"

Tentang masaalah sosial: "..orang2 muda sekarang banyak hisap dada.."

Semasa kempen derma darah sg Siput:"..marilah kita semua menderma dara.."

Semasa memberi ucapan di pelbagai function: "...selamat datang saudara-mara semua.." (sebenarnya saudara-saudari)

During the height of the al-arqam saga, he said in a press conference, "Saya gembira bahawa didapati tiada pemuda MIC terlibat dalam kes arqam.."

Semi Value, you seem to be very popular. Everyone here seem to be taking pot shot of that rat sleeping on your head.

At an opening ceremony:
"mempersilakan datin paduka rafidah aziz naik ke pentas utk membuka kain"

Commenting about his modesty: "sebenarnya, kemaluan saya sangat-sangat besar"

PLUS = Pungut Lebih Untuk Samy
That's why Samy can use PLUS helicopter whenever he want.

The below song is dedicated to the one and only super duper Semi Value.....

Kici kici lembu jaga
sudah besar kerani jaga
masuk MIC tol jaga
kiri pusing kanan pusing jadi kaya

ada misai tara jangut itu kucing

Rest In Peace Grandma

2008-01-29T14:52:00.000+08:00

My beloved Grandma has passed away at the ripe old age of 78……..

I cannot / dunno how to put in words the feelings which are in my heart right now. For me, I am just thankful that she is gone…..

At least she’s no longer feeling the pain, no longer living in isolation, no longer a part of all the squabbling / bullshit / acting ( she's not stupid you know ), etc.

Memories of my times with her flashed thru my mind during her funeral but I couldn’t bring myself to cry out loud….maybe its because I know way tooooooooooooooooooooo much of things that has been happening during the last part of her life……maybe I so happy to see her go to a better place…who knows?

Rest in peace dear Grandma, please say hello to Grandpa and Uncle Poon for me…tell them I miss them so much……

Grandma, remember the question I asked you during your last visit? It was one question which you didn’t answer yet….kekekekeke. Let me know when you know k?

By the way Grandma, I will be celebrating Chinese New Year as usual this year…you know I am not the kind to adhere to any taboo or pantangs right? Very sad that you had to miss this CNY but “Kong Hei Fatt Choy” all the same……………….

THANK YOU DEAR LORD FOR RELIEVING MY GRANDMA OF ALL THE PAIN AND MISERY….and Thank You for letting her live a full life.......thank you........

2 every1 his/her OWN…………….

Goodbye 007, Hello 008

2007-12-14T16:28:00.000+08:00

Dunno if 2008 will be a good yead for myself or not but 2007 is not that great….in fact I am really looking forward to put this year past me ( maybe my fung shui master is not that big a bullshitter after all…hmmmmmm )

What with the shit price hike for toll, petrol and every damn thing that has relation to the two things OR is trying to relate themselves in order to justify their increase as well.

Work load has also been shitty….been hearing comments from people that “this” particular project is losing money and is going to cause the “no bonus” syndrome for 2007. Kaninabeh and fuck them la….if they are so fucking good then come and take care if the said project instead of being super stoooopid “arm chair” critic la….

The declining health of my Grandma also contributed to my shitty year…..till now I am afraid to visit her…I am afraid that she will “move on” once I made my visit…how ar? To leave her suffering is damn cruel but on the other hand I do not want her to “move on”..how? arrrrrrg!!!! Deep down I know the inevitable is near but I just can’t bring myself to face the fact….

Amidst everything,

BolehLand sent an Astronut to space……FUUUUUCK!!!! One a fucking Datuk and another a fucking Gay. One got slashed and another got raped…hahahahha

Road Blocks were being setup everywhere to stop people from going into the Capital….paranoid bunch of S.O.Bs

SMS and emails flying everywhere telling everyone to gather for demonstrations…..for what I don’t know and don’t care. I personally think that everything can be settled via the elections….no need to employ any strong arm tactics…no need for cloak and dagger stuffs…the vote of the people will again determine our future…so come what may right?

Been a while since my last posting so much so that the rust has started to set in…kekekeke.

A lot has happened during the so called “absence”….

My Grandmother fell sick and was admitted……
Thank God that her condition has since improved. My relatives told me that she is more aware to happenings around her, is eating more and her speech is not as slurred as before…Thanks Be To The Lord. Most of the clan has gone back to see her except me ( work commitments )…boy, deep down I feel as bad as hell. Anyway, I will be making it a point to drop by her place come Christmas weekend…stay a day or two to cheer up the old lady…hopefully nothing happens by then…keeping fingers crossed.

The project that I am working on is in delay mode due to uncontrollable events…..
How I wish that my company didn’t secure this stupid project….bloody hell!!!
Here we are, all in Result mode but we cannot get anything done because a bastard on the client’s side is working in Process mode…kaninabeh!!! Result orientated and Process orientated do not go well together maaaa. What to do? Us donkeys will have to suffer and complete the project no matter what right? Lucky for us that a bastard on our side left the company or we will be in deeper shit…..Praise Be To The Lord….

Kept hearing rumours that the price of Petrol and Toll will be increased……..
What are the motherfuckers doing? Increase again? don’t they know that they are just promoting inflation…..
The reason given bythem is that the “G” cannot afford to subsidize our Petrol anymore sue to the worldwide increase of the said commodity…fuck them la…where has all the money gone? No freaking surprise seeing that a common toilet seat cost 25k in their accountability report. How much does a condom cost then? 30k? I hope they just roll over and die…

Kept getting caught in super road blocks by the BolehLand Police….road blocks to fish out demonstrators of illegal gatherings…………
Bunch of paranoid bastards!! What is their fear if their administration is so fucking good? Scared of a bunch of people demo”ing”? My stand on this is the same….just roll over, die and rot in hell for all I care..

COuldn't help posting this short article on mobile phones ( flip type ) after stumbling across it at a famous and well recognized scientific website.....it's all about the down side of using flip phones.....and your kids having kids....sheeesh!! really sent a shiver down my spine even halfway thru the damn article....

"A new study has revealed that flip phones can have very serious side effects to the reproductive development of young children.
As the photo shows it can also lead to localized pain and discomfort."
I couldn't bear to copy and paste the whole article...those who are really interested can sms or email me and I will forward you the link....uuuurgg!!

For what its worth, I have inserted a picture taken by the scientists on the after effects concerning "flippable" mobile phones which confirms their findings as well.....

Congrats Pamela

Recently received word from my God Sister that she is getting registered with her BF this coming January in Penang which prompted me to immediately inform my parents, brothers and some cousins of mine of the good news.

Everyone is bound to get hitched sometime in their life right? ( counting a few odd ones out ). What set me thinking after the shellshock was…..I AM BLOODY GETTING OLD!!!!

My God Sister is getting hitched dude!!!! The same God Sister that I used to look after when she was a baby, the same one who had her diapers changed numerous times by me….arrrrrgggg!!!!!! She is getting hitched ( good for her ) and I am getting blooming old ( not that good for me ).

It’s a long and tedious story between my family and Pam’s ( my G.S )…there won’t be enough e-space for me to write about what her dad ( my fav uncle ) has done for me and my family. Let it be said that there is no way in hell that I can return what has been accorded to us by Pam’s dad ( he has since passed away ). Would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Pam’s mum ( Auntie Pat ) for not being able to help out as much as I would have wanted to.

Thanks Auntie Pat for being there when I wanted someone to talk to, for being there when times were tough for me and my family, for being a super single parent to Pam and Timmy, for lending me some capital for my Car Accessory shop and for everything that cannot be said….Thanks.

I sorta suspect that this was coming on when I saw her BF’s new pad on my recent trip to Penang. Mentioned this to my mum and she was in total agreement as well. Neways, its good knowing that Pam has found someone who loves her and is willing to spend his life with her. Johnnie ( my G.S.’s BF ) is a nice, easy going and likeable guy. I wish them all the best and I better start saving up to make my promise to Pam count.

Uncle Poon, you can rest assured that you have taught you kids well when you were around….thanks for being my Uncle and teaching me to do good by others. Will visit you on my next trip back ok?

Lastly, Congratulations on getting hitched Pamela and Johnnie…see you guys when I see you…till then take care ok?

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum "What should I do to marry a rich guy?"

I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above.

You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York . My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary?

Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?

Among those I’ve dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden ( ? ) , $250k annual income is not enough.

I humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I’ve met a few girls who doesn’t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Signed,
Ms. Pretty

Below is one of the replies she received from a Wall Street Financial guy:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours.

Please allow me to analyze your situation as a professional investor.

My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I’m not wasting time here.

From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain.

Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange of “beauty” and “money”: Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.

However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can’t be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset.

It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a “trading position”. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted.

It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or “leased”. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you.

I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in “leasing” services, do contact me

Signed,
Poor Little Rich Fool

So how? anybody wants the link to Ms. Pretty?
