Philips has submitted the "Borang BE" and being cool today !!!

流金歲月的點滴

Today is 27th April 2005 and I've finally submitted the BE Form to
the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia and before that I felt
really really cool.

Sent my cousin to KL Sentral to take the 8:00 pm train to Wakaf
Bharu, he is going back to KB after attending an interview in KL.
Arrived at KL Sentral at about 7:15 pm and gave the poor chap some
lecture... kekekekee !!!

And sitting next to us there was an visually impaired person. Some
people call them blind people, but I would rather to use visually
impared.

The loud speaker was announcing the "Train to Pelabuhan Klang..
bla bla bla..." and I continued to lecture my cousin. Suddenly
the vi person ( visually impared person ) asked us, " Where is this
Pelabuhan Klang? " and " How far is it away from KL?"

We replied," Er... about 1 hour from KL via commuter."

He asked," Where are you all going?"

We replied," We ( my cousin ) is going back to Kelantan."

He asked," How long to Kelantan?" " 1 hour?"

We replied," About 12 hours. "

He asked," If by bus leh?"

We replied," Approximately 6 to 7 hours."

He continued to mumbled a little bit and I continued my lecture.

2 minutes later a man sitting at my back approached me and asked
if the vi person is going to Pelabuhan Klang, and asked if I did
help the vi person or not?

I replied," Err. Acutally he was not going to Pelabuhan Klang, he
was just asking us our direction and where is Klang and Kelantan."

The man then replied:" I see, I thought he came to the wrong
platform." And walked away.

Suddenly, I felt really ashamed. I felt the pattyness of myself and
I realised I really didn't do anything to help the vi person at all.

So asked the vi person again :" Hi, friend, where are you going?"
He replied happily :" I am going to Seberang Prai."
I asked again," What time is your train, and which platform?"

He replied," This platform lor, ( Platform 1) 8:45pm "

I felt a little bit better. and suddenly an idea came.

I walked down to the ground floor and purchase a Roti Kaya and
Roti Cream + a bottle of mineral water and came back to him.

I asked him," Hello, you want some bread and some water?"
I told him," I've purchased some for my cousin, some for you?"

He replied," Oh ok, don't need plastic, just the roti please?"
And," The mineral water too :) "

I was :) very very much.

I stupidly asked," You want to put these roti in your bag?"
He replied, " Hmmm... no need, got fire ants inside !"

I was -_-" , wah liew !! his bag is just like my car, got ants one!!!

He replied," What roti was that?"
I replied, " This one is kaya one, and that one is cream one !"
He looked happy, and I am also happy.

He said," In the train also got sell a lot of kuih !"
I replied," No need mah huan lor, walked in train sometime susah!"

He gave me a big smile and I felt mellow again.

I asked," So you go back to Prai or Penang?"
He said," Penang Island."
I asked," Via ferry?"
He said," Yes .."
I asked," Ferry works 24 hours ?"
He said," No, from 6 am onwards only ( till 12 am i guess.)"

And I told him, ok since my cousin has gone into the train already
i got to go ( need to submit kaotim blardy BE Form )

He said, " Ok bye!"
I replied, " Ok take care and enjoy the trip !"

Suddenly, I felt so strong and confident already cause I know I am
cool with him !! That is priceless !!! Thanks everyone !!

I was smiling all the way to the car park.

And 20 minutes later I arrived at Amelia Ong's place. She helped
me to filled up my BE Forms , had a nice dinner with her and
we both went to submit the form at Jalan Duta office.

Lesson learnt today :

1. Be nice to anyone, visually impaired or not.
2. It's never too late to do the right thing.
3. Better be sure then be sorry later.

4. When you've done something right,u'll feel cool and confident.
5. Cool and confident are priceless.
6. When you are confident, you'll feel smart and hansome too !!

7. Do not submit Borang BE during last minute.
8. It is priceless to have a female friend who knows taxation.
9. It is priceless for that friend to help you with no condition.
10.It i pricesless that she remains as your best pal forever !!!

So, no matter what happen, remember the 10 points above and
I trust I could always feel better. Especially in a season like this
when I don't have CD-R and DVD-R for sale -_-".

Police Road Block(s)

Philips was doing "Piu yee" & " Evasive maneuvering " from Kuala Krai to Kuala Lumpur
on a beautiful Sunday morning. Reason = to get back to KL from Kelantan.

Before arriving Gua Musang there was a Police & Army road block near infront
of an Army camp. Well I was from the cadet and I respect all the officers in
the uniform very much since I am a kid, even till today.

50 meters away from the post I slowed down my "F-117 Proton Wira" speed to below 15 knots
and removed my sun glasses ( didn't want to look like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt ) and 10 meters
away from the post I winded down my windows and, I put a big smile on my face like this :)
Speed indicated = 2 knots.

At the post the officer was chatting with others and didn't even look at me and just waved his
hand and asked me to proceed and leave.

-_-"?

I was like :" Huh?" " What the hell has just happened?"

Fat Lady and my sister were LOL in the car. And I was very blur, why didn't the police officer
check my car or perform any strip search on me, uh la la !!! Nope ! Nothing, he just waved
and asked me to leave. Fine !! Ok since I don't looked like a terrorist at all.

I pointed at my nose while putting my sun glasses back and shouted:
" Gei Tai jiao Gei Tai, no check jiao no check lor !! "

I press on the gas and put the twin turbo 24,000 pound thrust into full power. My wira soon
was cruising at almost the speed of sound again.

25 km later wapiang another road block with some officer there. This time I also took off my
Sun Glasses and winded down my window too. There was this officer standing there and
suddenly, The officer said to me : " Anschlag! " & "Achtung!"

"Red Aliert !! Red Aliert !! " the alarm goes off and all the M-16 riffles are locked
and loaded and aimed at my car. The dogs are being released and rushed to my
car .... omg !!!

To be continued....

Dream of Kelantan

Have you ever experianced/ notice that your dream is always concentrating on certain
location and time-frame or part of your life?

Well I do , my dreams ( more then 80% ) were always focusing on below :

1. My form 4 and form 5 life. ( In Kelantan KB and Kuala Krai )
2. My cadet life, I was a commander once in both Cadet and Pengawas.
3. My bunch of form 4 and form 5 best pals.
4. Exam is tomorrow, but till today I still have no idea about what subject was that.
5. SPM is tomorrow, but till today I still have not started study.
6. First day of the school. Everything is not prepared.
7. Enrolled into STPM ( which I never did )
8. Many crazy memories in Kota Bharu town.

I always keep searching for an answer that why is that my dream was always
in these area, of course not 100% but more or less 80%.

My theory =

These were the best year of my life so far.

I missed these time.

These time has deep impact deep in my brain.

It has became ROM in my brain ( Read only Memory ).

It has also became non-volatile memory till I die I guess.

I have too many best friends those time.

Those were the carefree time.

I was really really fit, physically i mean that time.

I think I would most probably preserve these memory and make them as
my target and things to be thought when I am free.

Kota Bharu was a cold place 15 years ago.

流金歲月的點滴

15 years ago about from 1990 to 1993. I was staying at a place
called Taman Dusun Muda, off Jalan Bayam and it was the best
place to stay, even till today I guess.

As the name implies, Dusun Muda was once a fruit farm with a lot
of fruits like durian and rambutan and stuff like that. I remembered
a lot of fruit trees back then.

And there was a decent size field full of grass, not for football but
there were some cows roaming freely at the field.

One fine morning ( Friday ) about 6:45 am I was on the way out
from my house and it was a cold morning. And on my mountain
bike I passed the field I saw a nice big yellow cow.

And when the cow saw me it suddenly decided to poo !!! Damn
lucky I was able to see the feces and poo coming out fresh and
hot from the cow's Mata Dubur.

And as I mentioned it was a cold morning, when the cow poo landed on the grass ground it was still looked like smoking and
fresh baked from the oven.

How to describe it, have you tried to eat Pizza at the restaurant?
When the pizza is served to you, you'll see the pizza still hot and
has smoke coming out.

Yes, that was the feeling and scene that I saw. the cow poo was
actually so hot and warm that there are smoke to indicate the
"freshness" and "kesegaran" yang asli !!!

And if you don't know ( yes you all big city boys & girls ) cow's
poo is not as stinky as the dogs and cats poo !! Want to try?

Kekekeke... this blog is to remember my good old day at Kota Bharu
where I spend the best years of my life.

Oh I missed the good old Kota Bharu so much that in night I always
had the dream of Kota Bharu 1990 to 1995 ....

My stupiak UKM FUU sister !!!

流金歲月的點滴

My sister, my precious !!! heheheheh !! Precious my head !!

She is born in 1984 and yes 22 years old, birthday in Feb and studies in UKM Bangi in Law Faculty ( FUU= Fakulti Undang-Undang ).

How did she manage to do so good in STPM and got herself in the
FUU in UKM is still an unsolved mystery. Somemore she has
inherited:=

1. The Blur Sotong Style from my mother.
2. The Lun Lun Chun Chun from my father.
3. The Sleeping Style from Malaysian Pig.
4. The Eating Style from Malaysian Pig.

Why I say she is blur sotong + lun lun chun chun + babi leh??

A few days ago we were all back to Kota Bharu and the first
dinner was : Satay Ayam + Satay Daging + A lot of Satay Kuah !!

My sister basically doesn't eat the satay kuah, she only DRINKS
them, yes read my lips !! She Drinks The Satay Kuah !!! kekekeke!

How to do this?

1. Open the Satay kuah plastic bag. about 1/2kg each pack/bag.
2. Open the mouth big big facing sky.
3. Aim the Satay Kuah pastic bag to the mouth.
4. Start pouring the Satay Kuah into the mouth.
5. Open throat and let all of the kuah goes into your body.
6. make loud gulp gulp gulp gulp gulp sound !!!!!

How much my sister loves the satay kuah? Imagine this :

Each time when we buy Kota Bharu Jalan Kebun Sultan Satay she
will for sure hijack a pack of 1/2kg Satay Kuah and label it with
her name, with all standard FUU procedure etc.

Sometimes she label the satay kuah as :

1. Bahan Bukti Mahkamah Tinggi.
2. Bahan Bukti Mahkamah Sesyen.
3. CSI Property. Don't Eat !!
4. LVPD Evidence.
5. Contains Human Embrio.
6. Warning ! Bio Hazard !!
7. Contents = Liquid C4. Keep away from kids.
and many more !!!

Ok fine, she will then store the 1/2kg Satay Kuah in a secret place
( our house fridge ) and share the rest of the Satay Kuah with us.
Luckily we always get to squize the Satay seller at least 3 packs
of Satay Kuah when we buy his satay.

If not sure we would have killed each other for the Precious Satay
Kuah, ke ek ek ek e !! So much of a caring family leh !!!

Have you tried to eat plain bread ( those traditional bread, RM 0.70
per pack or RM 0.80 per pack one ) along with Satay Kuah?

If you haven't try this, don't say you are Malaysian ok??

Of course we finished all the Satay + Kuah + Nasi Himpit ( called
Nasi Kapit in Kelantan ) + everything on the table.

Well, everyone was very happy that night with the Satay Kuah and
second day, about 10:30 pm and my sister became Hungor !!!!!

She went to the fridge and cari-cari and key in password + opened
the lock and walla !! the pack of Reserved 1/2 kg satay kuah !!

She then pronounced :" Catherin Willow, LVPD CSI Level 3 working
and all people please stay away !! " -_-'"

She was so happy and perform an Red Indian Smoke Dance...
she sang " We Wang Wang !! We Wang Wang !! We Wang Wang!!"
and " Te Ke Ti ! Te Ke Ta ! Te Ke Ti ! Te Ke ta !!!!

And out of sudden the pack of 1/2 kg of Satay Kuah slipped from
her hand and " Plaaaapppppppp !!!!" on the kitchen floor !!!

And have you seen and heard how the cow shit drops from it's
anus to the ground? I mean the fresh cow crap or feces which
is being discharged fresh from the cow's Mata Dubur...

Well the 1/2kg of satay kuah and the cow crap sounds almost
the same. Cause they are both in semi liquid form. Only that the
cow crap is warm and Satay Kuah was cold from the fridge !!

She shouted out loud helplessly " Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
" My precious !!!!!! "

Ha ha ha ha ha ha !! 1/2 Kg of the Satay Kuah fall on the kitchen
floor and only half of the Kuah remaind eadable !!! kekekekek !!!

She was so up set that night and :" Wu wu wu wu wu :( "

Now that's what I called University Law Student ....

I am really worried about my kids in future, do they have hopes?

Driving from Kota Bharu to KL

流金歲月的點滴

This morning as usual the warm weather in Kelantan did not give me
any good sleep. Too hot !! all sticky + in hakka was "niam kiap kiap!"

Moved out from Kota Bharu at 07:15 am. Stuck in school traffic.
Catched up after Kok Lanas cause some sissy driver.
Arrived at Kuala Krai, Tasik Krai 08:15 am. Hmmm... 1 hour time.

4. Raub.
5. Bentong.
6. Karak Highway and finally Ampang ( about 1:45 pm )

The drive today was very fine cause there was basically not much
of car after Kuala Krai.

the road from Kota Bharu to Kuala Krai only suitable for driving from
12:00 am till 5:30 am.

Besides those time there would be a lot of :
1. Slow ass taxi drivers ( drive at 40kmph ) on that road.
2. Slow ass lorry drivers ( drive at 60kmph ) on that road.
3. Slow ass sissy drivers ( drive at 50kmph ) on that road.
4. Fast Ass Kelantan assholes ( drive at 120 kmph ) on that road.

from 12 am till 5:30 am, you could cruise from 90kmph to 120kmph
without all those frustrating arse and , yes you have to becareful
with the cows !!! Cows cross road in Kelantan and don't bump
them, you'll get a lot of sirloin for the rest of your life if you
happended to bump into one of it !! that is if the owner doesn't
kill you first.

Time left Kota Bharu = about 7 am.
Time arrived KL area = about 2 pm.
Average speed today = about 95 kmph.

Total pit stop today = 1 at Raub Petrol Station. Pee !! Pee !!
Total road block today = 2 ( Gua Musang =1 , Lipis = 1 )
Total speeding ticket = unkown yet.

Average fuel consumption = RM 0.10 per km.
Total red right that I ran through = Zero, always zero !!
Total burp in the car cause nasi dagang = Countless !!!!

Well basically, that's all for today's driving. and my proton wira
was a good boy. No "piu yee" or " lat mei" nor " wat tai " good job!
Fuel consumption was really good.

Kelantan was very very hot

流金歲月的點滴

I was back to Kelantan from 21 April till 24 April 2005. And let me
tell you that it was really hot there.

I was in Kota Bharu and the whole 4 days 3 night I kept dreaming that I was in Sahara Desert, doing BBQ with Hot and Spicy & Curry fried Chicken.... omg !!

How hot was that?? Try this :

1. I woke up at 3:30 am and took bath, still felt warm.
2. Cause pipe water was warm.
3. Fan blow at tummy + chest + kkc, but back-side all sweat !!
4. Ok fan now blows back-side. Tummy + chest + kkc sweat pula!!
5. Blow tummy + chest + kkc, back-side sweat again.
6. OK fan now blows back-side. Tummy + chest + kkc sweat pula!!

Steps 3-6 repeated for 900 over times.
All these happened from 12:00 am till 6:30 am. and att 7 am I
gave up sleeping, and proceed to take bath.

What was greating me was the warm pipe water !!!! omg !!!
I missed my PJ air-cond so much.

Now, he he he I am back to PJ room, with air-cond on and temp
about 20 degree celcius. Hmmmm..... got to buy an air cond and
bring back to Kota Bharu house later of the days.

Dickson : Did you "Lap" your car?

It was a wonderful Sunday,
I washed and polished my car, everything became perfect.
Spent some time checking my engine status cause I am going to perform a long
distance drive to Kuantan, Cherating and Kelantan in a few days time.

Dianogstic Status =
===============
1. Battery water lvl low.
2. Engine lubricant oil lvl low.
3. Power steering fluid ok.
4. Transmission fluid ok.
5. Brake fuild seems ok too.
6. Engine outlook was ok too.

Hell, how come the engine lubricant oil lvl could be so low one?
Better find someone to check it out,
if there is any leakage or engine internal problem.

After a heavy lunch with Fat Lady I was sending her back to Ampany,
on the way back we stopped at Lembah Maju ( Next to Taman Putra Ampang )
where there are a lot of mechanic and car service center.

Those hardworking chaps even opens on Sunday,
that's why I said PJ people vs KL people vs Ampang / Cheras people,
you will always get better luck with Ampang/ Cheras people.

I made a few rounds of circling that area to scout for a decent looking shop ,
decent and not too occupied.
Then I came to a shop where there was no car inside. So I drove in
and a young nice man approached me.

He asked:" Yes may I help you?"
I replied:" Yes, could you please service my car, oil+ oil filter change "
I added :" And I suspect that my engine leaks lubricant oil.
So please check for me?"

The person name is Dickson, I found out later on his name card that he gave me.

Dickson :" ok no problem !"

So he check check checked, jack up car crowl under it and inspect.

Dickson :" Sir no leakage or any visible damage at the oil tank."
Gil Grissom :" Please see if there is any oil resedue, use some
luminol and the Spectragraph to trace them.
Dickson :" ???? What????" -_-"

Me :" Nothing lah kekekekek "

5 minutes later I asked Dickson the following question,
Me :" How come the lubricant oil just disappeared in the engine?"
Dickson:" Hmm. not very sure, but there is no leakage at all from what I see."
Me :" hmmmm.... how ah?"

Dickson :" Ah ! Did you Lap your engine lately?"
Me : " Not really. Wait a minute !!!"

Me : " That day I drove from Penang to Kepong cruised at 130 / 140 kira ah?"

Dickson:" Wah !!" -_-"

Me :" he he he he e !! malu !"

Dickson :" yeah possible during engine high rpm 4,000 or
5,000 above will consume some of your engine lubricant oil. "

Me :" Oh I see I see. "

Later here is the bill Dickson gave me :

1. Esso Lubricant Oil = RM 30.00
2. Oil Filter xxx brand= RM 11.00
3. Proton Spark Plug = RM 26.00
4. Battery fuild = RM 2.00
Total about RM 65.00 plus plus.

That's good and careful job from Dickson,
at least I've got a peace of mind to drive back to East Cost now.
Thanks Dickson who always -_-" cause his work shop is quite hot .
kekekeke.

So , now , did you Lap you car lately?

3 course meal from TTDI

3 course meal


Yes in the picture are :
================
1. Ban Min Kon Lou.
2. Vegetable Soup + Egg.
3. Laksa soup.

Total cost of the 3 above, only 1 USD could you freaking believe it?

There is a shop in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, Kuala Lumpur selling Ban Min + Penang Laksa and she is famous of these 2 food, in fact these are the only 2 stuff that this lady sells.

She is famous of being my Kai Mar ( god mother) despite the size of her is very small & tiny compared to me, like a Kancil 850 parked besides a 18 wheels truck. ke ke ke ke ke !!!

Whenever I go to kai mar for Ban Min, she knows what I want, I used to order Large Size ban min and I find it everytime after I eat the large size I gained like 2kg holy cow !!! And I tell you the large size ban min she serve me is " Super Duper Jiat Lat Damn Freaking Big Sized !!!" and the way to eat, is to Submerge my head into the bowl ( super big 18" bowl ) and eat.

For every 30 seconds take out my head and breath, and re-submerge head into the bowl and after approximately 30 minutes, holy cow !!

I was always wondering why the ban min bowl is still full !! after the 30 minutes hardwork.

Well, just to describe to you all how to describe "Large" size at this shop, especially for me !!

Then, one day I have decided to become a little bit thinner, hence from that day onwards I order " medium " whenever I go there to eat. But I tell you, even "medium" is still a lot of stuff for me. Now that's the advantage of being born "cute" !! Eh mate??

The "ban min kon lou" is served with Vegetable Soup + Thin Slice Pork default. But since her Penang Laksa is also one of the best in TTDI ( even came out in magazine before ) we normally ask for a small bowl of the "Laksa" soup totally F.O.C. from her, since I am so cute and adorable in her eyes, ke k ek ek ke ke !!!

While I blog this , don't know why my saliva is 3 foot long hanging from my Hsu Chi sytle lips..??

And we ( fat lady and me, my sister or my friends ) normally visit her on satuday after 1/2 day works. And that time she will have the time to cook with great interest and keep on "taruh"ing everything from mushroom, ikan bilis and everything into the food.

One fine day I spoken to her , I call her " Si tau por !" ( means lady boss )
She replied :" Yes oii ??"
I said :" thank you for your pan min !"
She :" no no.. I want to thank you ! "
I said :" why thank me leh?"

She said :" thank you for waiting & be patience with the food "
I said :" It's ok, to enjoy good food , we sure have to wait a bit what?"
She said:" yeah loh " ( kembang !! very very kembang ! )

She said:" But some customer cannot wait one, chase me to serve them fast and their face black black !" ( Yes PJ people, she is talking about you !! and some TTDI resident you too !!)
I added :" If they don't want to wait , eat fast food like KFC or Mc D lor ! Then no need to wait!"

She was very very "kembang"ed that day I heard !!! And smiling all the way home don't know for what reason.....

and here I want to thank her for spoiling my fitness plan & I have to call my gym trainer already thanks to her too !! To her, both love and hates are there !!

Here I wish your business be forever "Ong" and always wealthy there !!

How long could you wait?

流金歲月的點滴

A few months ago I gave my CPU ( AMD Athlon ) to my sister and kept the hard disk because all of my important documents are in the hard disk.

The Operating System in the hard disk was Windows XP Pro version and it was really not bad. Plug and play and very adaptive. I put the hard disk into this current CPU ( Celeron 2400Mhz ) and it actually worked, wow !!

However the USB 2.0 port with the new CPU was not recognized by the old OS or the file was corrupted. Hence whenver I want to use the USB for the USB flash drive the system freeze !!! and that caused me to stop using my USB drive for a few months time from my home.

Same happens that I could'nt use my Infrared adaptor to transfer the image from my T-610 to the internet for backup and blogging purpose. I was really bodoh betui !!!

Finally, on night at 11 pm something, I pointed at my nose and say :" Enough is enough!" and started removing the old OS and install the fresh copy of Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2.

What? Of course original Software used my friend ( sales man talk)

and anyway, spent about 45 minutes and my computer came alive with the 6 USB 2.0 port working seamlessly and very fast !!
All the file system has improved because fresh format and my computer speed has increased very much. Yahoo !!!

That's why, sometimes whenever there is a work or job pending, stop giving yourself excuses for not doing it. Most of time time,
the faster the job is accomplished the better.

Like this case, if I have fixed the CPU 3 months earlier or 4 months
earlier, mean that I could enjoy the USB 2.0 function 4 months ago
and don't have to suffer.

So, for a pending job that till the end of the day, you can't say no to doing it, how long could you wait?

Don't wait nomore my friend, whatever you want to do, just do it
and do it fast, we don't know what will happen tomorrow !!
Appreciate today and finish your work fast :) have a nice day !!

Knew her since my college time back to year 1998 or 1999 can't quite remember. She used to looked very very cool and didn't want to mix with us.

Everytime after the class when the lecturer announce " Class dismissed !"
You would heard the classroom door "bboooooommm !!! kabam !!"
And that was Cowinne leaving the classroom with the speed of 120kmph.

My god the lecturer had even not packed her bag and Cowinne has already gone.
Hence, Cowinne was the Farrari Enzo among us.

After class Cowinne had normally rushed to Ampang point and purchased some Roti there, I mean that kind of roti where we could eat. Not other type ok?

And 5 minutes later we would see Cowinne waiting at the bus stop with a pack of roti in her hand. And most of the time Cowinne would prefer to wear black coloured cloths !! Wow !!

In our mind, wah ! This KL girl is very Cool !!

But later when we get to know her, fulamak ! I tell you my contact lense Jatuh 20 times when I know how funny she is !! Want to know more about Cowinne? She is 25 years old this year and I heard she is still available. Working at a famous local Chinese Daily Newspaper company , she has a lot a lot of funny stuff that those paparazi out there are dying to learn.

I will tell you one by one when I am free.... ke ek eke ekek !!!
On 19th April would be her birthday for first .... Happy Birthday Cowinne !! Happy Birthday !!

The Art of Talking ! Do you have it with you?

流金歲月的點滴

"Hello good morning, could I speak to Mr.Lim please?"

"Ann, could you please excuse me?"

"Please hold the line, my boss will be with you shortly, thank you."

"Kai Hong, could you please pick me up from Air Port?"

"Can you please give me Dinner Plate 3, drumstick, no wings?"

"can you please call me tomorrow 7:15 am for wake up call?"

Yes those were the sentence that I've normally use during the
normal conversation with anyone, from my boss, my colleague,
the toll operator guy, Fried Chicken cashier , my parents or so.

If you've notice, the common thing is that I always do use "please"
in the sentence when I need a favour or need help.

Have you ever received a call for help or call for favor like this?

"Kai hong are you free? need you to send something."
"Kai hong , your call !"
"Kai hong, borrow your handphone a while!"
"Kai hong, call me at 8:00 pm !"
"Kai hong, borrow me 20 dollar!"

I mean even my boss and my parents never talked like this to me!
Hence, please be nice and be polite, it wouldn't kill :)

Give Me Space .. mein Gott im Himmel

Give me space... a lot of space !!! mein Gott im Himmel
That was what I shouted at www.gmail.com sometimes ago.

On 1st of April 2005, I think I saw it from www.jeffooi.com that this nice Gmail has incrased it's storage from 1GB to 2GB, and the capacity keeps on increasing...

Well, for me it's very good news. Can store more stuff and worry less about my pathetic www.hotmail.com which used to have 2.5Mb storage only nia !!

Later I've found a way to tuned the Hotmail to 25MB, with some simple tuning process and right now my www.hotmail.com has 250MB liao lor .. kekekeke !!!

My Yahoo mail is now at 1GB cause I signed it into the China Server a few months ago, thanks to Johntim's alert. Sometimes you'll feel very nice and good to have a friend who is always alerts about new IT stuff and high tech gizmos.

I think with Yahoo Mail + Hotmail + Gmail is more then enough for someone like me. The more accounts that you have, the more messy things could get sometimes. Like my fat lady who always forgotten her user name and password. Sometimes I see her, don't know should 2 legs in the sky or 2 shoes in the sky.

Some blogger friend will then suggest me :" 2 legs, 2 hands + 2 shoes in sky = completed!!"
kekekekkekekke...

Thanks, Gmail people, we user really do appreciate the 2GB for the time being. It's almost equal to my Quantum 5.25inch Big Foot 2.1GB hard disc ( manufactured 1997 ) still working right now with my Old Pentium 200MMX. Yahoo !!! I mean Gahoo !!!

Beautiful Sunday Morning

流金歲月的點滴

Time = 8:08 am and it is a nice Sunday morning. But the air out
there seems a little bit hazy or it is going to rain? I am not sure
but I sure feel very fresh cause I woke up naturally...

How do I define "woke up naturally"? Well for me, to wake up natural
is the best way to wake up. There are severals way of waking up
from sleep like the example below :

1. Wake up cause feeling too cold.
2. Wake up cause feeling too hot.
3. Wake up cause stomachache, want to poo !!!
4. Wake up cause want to pee !!
5. Wake up cause your house in on fire.
6. Wake up cause horny ( hmmm this is not too bad actually !)
7. Wake up in Military Camp at 4:30 am and Sir ! Yes Sir !!
8. Wake up cause too hungry.
9. Wake up cause your saliva on your pillow is cold and wake u up!
10. Wake up cause your spouse "Want" something ! Wonderful !!

But the best is still "Natural Wake Up!" which means you wake up
without any internal or external force. You body feel "Ok" and your
eyes open automatically.

Now that's what I called Natural Wake Up !! and the advantages
of having a Natural wake up in the morning

1. You'll feel very fresh.
2. You'll not feel headache or sleep too much.
3. You'll be ready to work or play or do anything.
4. You'll not look like a Panda
5. You'll have all Sunday to do whatever you like.

Hence, Sunday + Natural Wake Up = Best thing in the world.
But why could'nt we enjoy Natural Wake Up on weekdays when
we have to work?

Simple = Laziness !! and no objective of life.

If a person who has girlfriend ( new girlfriend ) or a lot of cash
for him/ her to collect as salary or payment that day. Imagine
will he/ she jumped up from bed with Natural Wake Up ?

Imagine if a kids at school if it's a Children Day or Last Day of
the semester school day, will he wake up earlier then usual without
the nag from the mother, father or even before the alarm goes off?

that's Laziness vs Objective of life.

don't know for what reason, I always do have objective of life on
Sunday and don't have Laziness on sunday.

Weekday = diffrent story.

An objective of life on Sunday could be :

1. Wash my car ( I just did for the past 60 minutes )
2. Polish my car ( see number 1 )
3. Have a good breakfast with Fat Lady ( going out soon :) )
4. Read Sin Chew Daily + The Star newspaper.
5. Do some house work.
6. Blogging
7. Listen to some nice music.
8. Practise Piano / prepare for the Concert.

Wonderful Sunday shouldn't be wasted with sleeping in bed till
12:00 pm or anything like that. And also don't spend too much of
time infront of TV too. If you don't have interesting topic to do,
here I propose you to :

1. Read some news paper.
2. Teach someone to use computer or Internet.
3. Visit old folks or orphan house.
4. Learn a new language.
5. Learn a new skill.
6. Call your parents and tell them you missed them :)
7. Help your brother or sister in her SPM , STPM or even PMR
or UPSR.

Till then, have a productive Sunday and don't waste it.

IT Dept

Actually in our normal people perspective, in each company the value of diffrent departments are diffrent. Depends on from which angle you are looking at it.

Some people looks from the revenue angle. Then Sales and Marketing department is very important.

Some people looks from the "save my ass" angle. Then the department with the fierce or "Garang" boss is the most important.

Some people look at their pocket everyday. Then for them, accounts department is very important for them. When see accounts department like seeing their father & mother. Ekk also cannot ekk!!

Some people look at their watch everyday from 9:00 am onwards, counting how many hours left before they could go home. Then for them, nothing is important, just need to go home and waste their life. These people, "No Medicine to Cure!"

Some people look at the "side income" very much. "Side income" from multi level marketing and some direct selling stuff. I have one of them in my office where she talked loudly infront of us, mentioning :
1. My upline.
2. My downline.
3. Positive thinking.
4. Join already?
5. Oh there is a meeting in KL today after work.
6. Oh motivation meeting is important.
7. Oh positive thinking is important.
8. Oh you control your life.
9. Oh you can make it if you want.
10. Oh I have a dream.

I think she wouldn't put too much of effort in her work in the company cause sometimes people might just put their priority at the wrong side. There is no more focus & passion with the work that she is suppose to be at, instead having a "vision" of becoming someone.

Heck, you can't even understand what are the "do" and "don't" in the office and you are telling me that you have a dream. Go ahead and dream on !!

Ah comes to a very important department. IT or I should call them ICT ( Information & Communication Department ). I give my vote to them for being very important in a company.
Many people has not realized that it was the ICT department which provides all the backbones and platform for everyone to work on. Imagine one day if any of these went missing:

1. Computer.
2. Printer.
3. Internet.
4. Telephone.
5. Electronic gizmo...

You'll gone amok and bang your head on the wall right? Now buy some flowers and chocolates for your IT department and tell them you love them ok?

" Yo IT Dept guys, I love you all !" and thanks for everything.

This blog is specially dedicated to the ICT dept for Megan Groups. May the force be with you!

Fried Chicken with Curry Flavor !! 好

A few days ago after I picked up fat lady from KLIA, we were
heading Damansara area from NKVE. Fat Lady told me that she
has taken her dinner on board MAS Air Bus. Kuching to KLIA.

The flight was delayed for 1 hour, and no explaination given by the
MAS crew to the passenger. Nothing at all !! And by the time Fat
Lady arrived and get into my car it was already near 9:00 pm.

I was really hungry then, thought wanted to bring Fat Lady to some
good food, but since she has taken Fish Fillet + Potato in the flight
well, even better I could save a couple of dollar and cents !!

Before the Damansara exit if you are coming from Shah Alam or
Subang area, you would see a Kerang Petrol Station + R&R area +
an restaurant which sells Fried Chicken attached to it.

For being lazy to go to PJ again ( I stay 1km away from Damansara Toll)
I just pulled over at the Kerang Petrol Station and walked in to
the Fried Chicken Restaurant.

Not much of customer, a few tow truck driver, a few highway police officer and a couple.
And a noisy family standing infront
of me with the mommy asking thousands of questions and requests.

Soon my turn to order, as usual I told them :" Having here !"
( Mistake number 1 done, should have take away & throw them away ! )

And I ordered a dinner plate 3 pcs = Curry Flavor.
( Mistake number 2 done, should have never trust curry !)
( Mistake number 3 done, should have order 1/4 pcs will do !)

And I did not order any drinks. Health conscious guy !!
( Mistake number 4 done, how to swollow the dinner now?)

So I sat down at a corner and began to taste the 2 pcs of breast
and 1 pc of drumstick. Yucks !!!! Ptui ! Ptui !!!!

The curry flavoured fried chicken was, basically got their recipe
from " The Fear Factor " challenge !!
Year 2003 the 2nd season the winner of the Fear Factor ate 2 pcs of Curry Fried Chicken and won the USD 50,000. But later in the interview, the winner said that he will never take any Curry Chicken anymore !!! And the winner died 2 weeks later.
Cause of death = ate something terrible. CSI verified it !! from
Gil Grissom himself.

So, you know how does it taste like !! A lot of curry + flour powder
attached to the chicken skin. And basically the taste was like
eating dead chicken, ran over by a truck or lorry.

Only the dead chicken ran by the lorry or truck would have less
oil and flour particles, which hurts your mouth & tounge !!!!!!

10 minutes, freaking suffer 10 minutes later, I stuff these rubbish
into my stomach and went home. And I kneed infront of my God
in my house, and said to HIM in tears =
:" Dear God yang Maha Esa, saya yang bernama Kai Hong, bersumpah yang saya tidak akan memakan ayam goreng yang
berperisa kari buat selama-lamanya.
Jika saya terhempas kapal terbang di sebuah pulau yang hanya
terdapat ayam goreng berperisa kari. Saya rela mati bin mampus.

Jika saya terselamat daripada terhempas kapal terbang dan kemudian pula diselamatkan oleh Kapal -kapal dagang atau kapal
kapal perang. Dan didapati pula kapal-kapal tersebut hanya ada
makanan ayam goreng perisa kari di dapurnya. Saya lebih rela
karam bin tenggelam ke dalam laut.

Jika saya terselamat, dibawa pulang ke rumah saya 3 minggu
kemudian. Dan didapati emak dan bapa saya telah membeli ayam
goreng berperisa kari. Saya lebih rela rumah saya dijilat api and
semua orang terbakar bin hangus !!! is is is !!!

Jika saya tidak mati dalam kebakaran dan dikejarkan ke hospital
berdekatan, biarpun hospital kerajaan atau bukan kerajaan.
Jika didapati makanan yang disaji adalah ayam goreng perisa
kari lagi, entahlah Tuhan yang Maha Esa, biar saya terjun dari
KLCC dan mati buat selama-lamanya ."

Why? Cause the fried chicken with curry flavour IMHO was really
really 好难吃！！！with tears in my eyes.

Fat Lady was looking at me from 3 meter away, and asked me:"
Do you really have to do that? I mean cursing?"

I don't know, why don't you go and try it ! And let me know how
did you feel. This time I didn't laugh all the way home.
I was cursing all the way home.

Mr. Gorelick .. who are you?

Kenny

Hints :
========
1. One full head of Maggie Mee. Damn Curly !! Sexy !!
2. Has always a sexaphone in is mouth, facing right ( like some people's kkc )
3. Produces music.
4. etc....

Hahahaha....yes Kenny G, G not for Gravity or Gigi !! Gorelick remember that.

Back to 1995 and 1996, it was the time when we were all listening to Kenny's music like no day and no night like that.

When mopping the floor, Kenny G,
before sleep, Kenny G,
cannot sleep, Kenny G,
pak tor with first love, played her the Kenny G's song using Piano,Kenny G lagi!
A good friend of mine Tho bought the Dying Young soundtracks, Kenny G lagi adui!

Friday ( In Kelantan, weekend falls on Friday you know? ) when we all have
nothing to do, stayed at home listened to Kenny G, Christmas Holiday Album.

Below was a conversation about Kenny G & I've learned that not everyone
loves him like I did.

1996, Taman Bunga Raya, near TAR College Setapak.

We ( Tan, Chew and Me ) were listening Kenny G's donno which album.

1st track, Tan + Me enjoyed... hmmm hmmm...
2nd track, Tan + Me enjoyed again... hmm...
3rd track, Tan + Me still enjoy, but Chew became -_-" ???
4th track, Chew really really -_-"" already !!

She asked :" Eh ! Why this Kenny G never sing anything one?"
Tan replied:" Ah? Why ?"
I replied:" Cause the saxaphone is in his mouth, can't blow & sing at same time!!!"
She replied:" Oh ! He blows ! He doesn't sing one is it?"
She replied:" Neabei I was waiting for 4 tracks for his first sentence, nothing!!"
and she left after realized that no one is going to sing, only blows !!!

Tan and Me ROTFLOAO.....

Back to year 1994/95, one of the top movie then was Speed, starring
Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock and Jeff Daniels.
We have watched it over and over again until the Video Tape has
become a little bit worn out.

Mr. Reeves at a scene in the movie, showed his wrist watch a Casio
G-Shock 6800 old model if I was not mistaken. 200M water resist
and both of them looked really good. A nice handsome guy, SWAT
bomb squad member + short hair + a reliable watch !!!

In year 1996 I was in TAR college and worked my arse out ( part time) as lab assistant and at the end of the day I've finally able to
save RM200. And got myself this nice Casio G-Shock 6800 model.
Oh that was my first G-Shock then, with Electro-Illuminator.

Since then, wherever I go, I wear this watch. I was so proud of it
and when I was in the bus ( Intrakota, Park May, Mini Bus (no.49)
and yes, LRT was still not available that time, remember??

That time = Intrakota Cost = Flat Rate = RM 0.90 wherever u go.
That time = Mini Bus (Pink) = Flat Rate = RM 0.60 wherever u go.
That time = I can't remember taking park may bus.
That time = Len Seng Bus = TAR college to KL = RM 0.70.

Most of the time when we were traveling from Setapak (TBR ) Taman
Bunga Raya to KL, people has not much of thing to do. Why? Cause
there was no mobile phone, and if no mobile phone, then damn
quiet kekekekeke....

When sitting in the bus with this G-Shock, I was expecting Dennis
will call me ( but in 1996 there was hardly any mobile phone ) and inform me that :

1. There is a bomb in the bus.
2. The bomb will be activated once the bus reaches 55 mph.
3. Once the bomb is activated, if the speed of the bus drop below
55 mph, the bomb goes off.
4. If any passenger tries to get out of the bus the bomb goes off.
5. And "Pop quiz, hot shot, what you're goin to do?"

I was always wearing a white T-Shirt, with a lot of Bomb Squad
equipment in my cargo pants. Front pockets, back pockets, side
pockets. etc. Waiting for the worst to happen. Because as a good
citizen, we must always remember "To Serve and To Protect!"

But the call never came. No terrorist has ever made any call to
me and informed me if there was a bomb on the bus, maybe it was
because :

1. I didn't carry a handphone back to 1996 ( expensive toy !)
2. I was not Keanu Reeves.
3. I was not in the SWAT , not even PDRM !!!
4. Bus number 49 from Setapak to Lot 10 could never reach the
speed of 50 mph ( 80kmph ) not then, not now and not forever.

Hence, upon arriving at Lot 10, we all went down to Lot 10 for
windows shopping, and perhaps 2 hours later, take the Mini Bus
Number 49 back to Setapak, Taman Bunga Raya again.



Cost of G-Shock = RM 136.00 ( Bought from Alpha Angle )
Cost of Mini Bus = RM 0.60 ( RM1.20 for 2 ways )
Cost of white T-shirt = RM 19.00

Satisfaction of imagination of Speed = Priceless !!!

1996, people have not even heard of Low Yatt plaza hahahaha.

Perhaps will write about 1995 vs 2005, see the diffrence. shall we?

Holiday at Cherating for free !!

cheers!!


A few weeks ago, some lady from a famous local chained Hotel called
me and asked if I have a free 90 minutes time. ( tele-marketing )
and the product is.. err... some holiday package that you pay
about RM30,000.00 and you could have 7 days free holiday to
their groups of hotels for the rest of your life.

This was the N-th time that I've received this kind of call, and why?
cause perhaps I am famous, wah ha ha ha a !! ( famous cause poor )
and if you go there for the 90 minutes talk and at the end of the
day you didn't sign up, they'll give you a 2 days 1 night free hotel
stay at one of their hotels.

You might find out that I am such an arse for doing this, but I feel
great then, now and for the next 2 weeks time.

I went there promptly, sit down there and the guy began to talk :
" Bla bla bla, bada bing bada bang, bada boom !! "
" Hotels + 7 days + save money + transferable + value! "
" Bla bla bla, wi wang wang.... wi wang wang"

And final question from them, " Mr Wong are you interested?"
I replied," No I am not, thank you !"

Their face colour changed from fair to red, red to black , black to
blue. And one of them collapsed and "BANG" their head on the wall
and floor and began to cry. One of them even kneed and begged
me to sign up.

I of course told them no, cause I only have RM 1,900.00 in my
bank account. How to sign up? RM 30,000 over woh !!!!

I replied firmly, with a little bit of smile " No, thank you !"

Then the one collapsed on the floor wake up automatically, the one
who banged his head on the floor and wall so hard stopped banging
and the guy who kneed stand up and," hmmmmmpphhhhhh !!!! "

and proceed to counter and issued me a 2 days 1 night voucher.
Cost of this I think should be around RM150 to RM 200. + some
slimming discount + free course for my Fat Lady.

Ok, 90 minutes of sitting with these people and I got all these for
free. Not too bad I told myself.

10 minutes later, I was on my way to the car park with the vouchers
in my pocket. Feeling like " Maverick " with full load of cash which I
have cheated and won from the Casino. Laughing all the way home
and start planning for the holiday with my fat lady.

It's like Chinese saying, " One willing to be beaten, one like to beat"
why not make everyone happy? hahahahhaha.....

P/S = Sometimes I really look myself no up one !!!

This is not right !!!

A few months ago when I was driving at a Federal Trunk road, aka
Kampung Road. I was cruising at about 80 to 90 kmph cause it
was relatively clear & not much car.

And there was this slow arse driver doing about 40 or 55 clicks in
front of me. Of course that chap made me annoyed !!!

After about 1 or 2 km I finally couldn't take it anymore, and pointed
at my nose, & shouted :" Kei tai jiao Kei tai! Potong jiao potong!! " and I shifted to 3rd gear and vroooooooommmmm !

Errr, it was a double line ( means cannot overtake car dar !!! )
but I didn't care cause I had enough of 40 or 55 kmph already.

I over took the car in about 5 seconds time and, my sister was
looking at me ( she studies Law in UKM ) and show ????????

I told her, " See? We are not suppose to overtake at double line!!"
She replied, " They why you overtake?"
I replied," I want to show you that this is wrong lor!"

She 2 legs and 2 shoes in the sky terus. Lawyer Buruk Kalah !!!

Blogging from De Palma Shah Alam

The time now is 3:22 pm on my casio G-shock and I
am sitting at the main lobby of the Shah Alam's De
Palma Hotel....

Hmmm.. they've got broadband connection here and er oh I've just sent my BenQ quest back to their place ( hotel ) hence I sit down here at the HP computer ( GNN with LCD Monitor ) and start not wasting my time.

I think our government or so called authorities
should have a law to enable/ state that all the
public high class places like hotel and cafe and
stuff like that to have Wifi Spot or some computer
which is connected to broadband.

This way, the information will become cheaper and
with cheap and easily available information, one
could do more things and waste less time.

All the hotel with stars ( 1 2 3 or 4 or 5 ) should
compulsary has internet connection into the room
and some free PC at the waiting room for the guest
to fully "utilize" their "precious" time.

I am very happy right now cause I think I am not
wasting my time waiting for my customer. Instead
I could start blogging 20 km away from my office
with some stranger wondering around me :)

Perhaps later when I am a little bit richer, should
try to purchase a Centrino enabled lap top and be
one of those "cool" guys who blogs from cyber cafe,
Coffee Bean, Starbucks and so on.

Yes of course when we wait at the hotel we could
read the free news paper around, but wouldn't be
it nicer if besides news paper you have PC with
broadband for some people to check email, chat,
blog or even make www.skype.com call?? Tell me!

Today's date is 8th April 2005, I've so far tested
1 hotel ( De Palma Shah Alam ) with broadband 4
customer for free ( free i think ). I heard Nikko
has broadband a few years back, and Sunway
Penang has some E-Room with RJ45 connector...

So, dear leader who are reading this, if you want
more broadband panetration in Malaysia, look at
my lips " Make sure broadband is available to us !"

And don't let some silly stupid company to hold the
control of the broadband market. Open it to everyone like CD-R !! Tell you, you'll find 90%
penetration then.

And, why i am happy today? cause being able to
blog and save time at the same time. Perhaps
could check email again ( any mails from H.k.?)
before leaving to Lowt Yatt plaza later.

Till then, wherever you are. Don't waste your time
sitting there doing something.

Read a good blog, good book, watch a good movie
or learn something new/ Cheers

Driving from Penang to KL on Saturday evening.

Saturday evening after the PC Fair event at about 7 something PM,
i left Penang International Sport Arena (PISA) headed toward Tanjung Tokong.

Where is Tanjung Tokong? Hmmm... try to google the Penang Map ok?

Anyway, arrived at the place promptly and ordered the crab/shrimp
and wow !! as lovely as first love. Sat there till about 9pm and
headed for Butterworth, with tummy full of crab + shrimp ....and
some fried chili lala too. OMG this feeling was damn good !!!

I repeat what some good Doc says:" Eat first, die later!"

And 30 minutes later we ( me and fat lady as co driver ) were on
the Juru toll already. The rain has slowly stopped and not much
of car on the road. Good sign.

Car was in perfect condition, and the crab + shrimp + fried lala in
the tummy is turned into Super Nova and giving me non-stop and
smooth energy to drive.... yeah !! keep them coming !!!!!

Hit the gas after Juru toll and the speedo meter climbs to 100, 110
and 120 and maintained at +/- 130 kmph. Occasionally when I
need to overtake a bus or something like that I had to hit it to
140 or 150 kmph to overtake it.

There was an express bus with something spelled like S.E or some
thing like that. I hit the gas to 140 kmph and yet I was unable to
overtake it, and I was wondering if my speedo meter was accurate
or not. Cause if I am not mistaken the bus should cruise at 90kmph
only... heheheh... Bor Cheng Hu !!! really Bor Cheng Hu !! Even
I did 170kmph when I was tailing the C200 ler... kekekekek...

No !! This is dangerous.

Crusing at highway should be around 110 to 120 kmph max if one
is driving a Proton Wira class of car. For Merc or BMW could allow
till 150 to 180 kmph because they are equipped with better ( 4
huge disc brakes + ABS + KFC + KGB + FBI system )

My point is that, please !! drivers don't think that any Tom, Dick
and Harry could do 150 to 180 kmph on the road. Imagine a kancil
or Proton Wira was performing 150 kmph on the road, and suddenly
he/ she has to perform emergency brake. Let me tell you the car
will float, the tyre will skid and lost control is almost as certain as
123 !!!!!!

And somemore, typical Malaysian when driving on the highwas has
not enough of safety precaution taken, top 10 mistakes made :

1. Tailing to close to the vehicle infront. ( depends on speed )
2. Switching lane without insufficient space.
3. Switching lane without insufficient signal given.
4. LOVE to use emergency lane. Just plain love !!
5. Switching lane without realizing a big truck or car at behind.
6. Driving with high beam on highway. Blinding everyone.
7. Driving with Hazard Signal lights when it rains! ( Wrongo! )
8. Driving speed not according to car performance.
== Kancil loves to perform 150 kmph.
== Ah Pek's Merc loves to perfrom 80 kmph.
== Aunty Toyota Camry loves to perform 60 kmph.
== Kawasaki 850cc performed 160 kmph ( 2 wheels + high beam!!)
9. Driving when the driver is not feeling fresh & sleepy.

Those are the top 10 killer of the highway and I am really sick of
it. Yes I did cruised at 140 sometimes, did even climbed to 160
or 170 for a few second. But those are only in extreme condition
only like want to avoid fast incoming missiles car from behind. Or to record one's speed.

Drive fast only if :

1. Vision is clear. No fog, no rain, no strong lights from opposite.
2. Road is clear, meaning less car or no car.
3. You are on highway.
4. Your has 2 person in car only.
5. Driver is very much concious on what he/she is doing.
6. Car performance is good.
( Wira = medium. Merc = ok. Ferrari =good )
7. Car and car distance = more then 20 or 50 meters.
8. All common sense factor matched.

Now everyone including me could drive fast, the question of whether if one could control and stop the car on time is always
the factor of determining accident or not !!

If not sure, then don't !! Speed kills !!!

By the way, I want to apologize to my family and Royal Police
Malaysia because I've traveled from Penang to Kepong within
3 hours. My fault, next time I wouldn't do this anymore.

Somemore this includes 1 pit stop for fat lady to wee + petrol
refuel. Speed kills ah son !! Becareful. Else I would be blogging
from hospital or not blog at all already ( hehehehe... )

Philips, Charlie, Edwards, Remco, Kai Hong, Vincent, Grissom,
Mulder, Scully, Forrest, whichever it is.... 2:43 am Kayu Ara.
Cannot sleep !!!! Help !!!

Don't waste those fossils !! Philips

Many many years ago ( about 1 zillion-trillion-maralion-megalion years) ago. A lot of trees, human, robots, computers, aliens,
dinausours, Godzilla, LCD monitor died and got covered in earth.

With the great heat + pressure + as time goes by. Some of these
became diamond, some of it was ate by bacteria, and some of them
ultimately became Petroleum. A few hundred years ago human found
that Petroleum could be turned into Engergy and some by products
like, soap, wax, petrol, diesel, gassoline and lubricants. Hence people
started systematically way of drilling these petroleum for industry
purpose.
That is to drill in Big Scale. OPEC is producing about 27.5 million
barrel per day of petroleum right now and the price of petroleum
stands at USD 58.00 per barrel. New record.

However,

Petroleum is a type of energy that we call "non renewable energy".
Unlike wind, solar, hydrogen, water dam. Once the Petroleum is
depleted, we have to wait for another few zillion years for them to
be reproduced. Hence, I hope everyone could save these fossils
and don't use it like there is no tomorrow like that.

And one of the way to save petroleum is to drive / cruise your car
at the highest gear possible everytime when you drive. How to do
that? I'll elaborate them.

Errr.. Automatic gear transmission car would have hard time to do
this. But manual car, is easy as 1 2 and 3....

See everycar has a cruising speed which helps you to maintain max
distance, using minimum of petrol, provided you are using the correct
gear ratio.

Ok let's talk about Proton Wira 1500 cc. According to it's manual book
provided when you purchase this car.

( And how many of you did read your car manual? I found that general
Malaysian has the habits of NOT reading the manual, specially a car )

If you drive and cruise at 5th gear at the speed of +/- 90kmph.
Your car would be in the condition of maximum distance using smallest
amount of petrol.
Like this you could clock 1 km with RM 0.10 or RM 0.11 of petrol.

If you drive and cruise at 5th gear at the speed of +/- 150kmph.
Your car would actually burn/ and consume more petrol.
Like this you could perhaps clock 1km with RM 0.15 or RM 0.18 of
petrol. yes ! More epensive.

Hence, from today onward. read your car manual and be a smart &
cost saving driver.

Don't be like some Ah Beng and , no care of anything just hit the
gas and make the RPM as high as possible. A waste of petrol and
produce alot of fumes + noise only.....

And a Mercedes E260 automatic transmission 1992 model has a sweet
spot of 120kmph at 4th gear ( automatic ).

Remember :

1. Always ensure that the RRM ( Round per minute ) at your speedo
meter to be as low as possible when you drive, with correct gear.
2. Always ensure you are using the highest possible gear to cruise.
5th gear is always the most economic gear, when you cruise.
3. Make sure that your engine air filter is clean.
4. Make sure that your spark plug is working fine ( 4 or 8 of them ).
5. Tyre pressure should be moderate.
6. Release parking brake 100% before you move.
7. Don't put any bagage or stuff at your car roof top, like going to
open shop at Pasar Malam. The air resistance is so great that you
are like throwing money out of your car. Especially long distance drive.
8. Ensure engine has good lubricants and works fine.

Well, basically as long as you drive carefully you wouldn't miss all these
points.

Cheers, smart drivers !! Go go go !!!

The Malaysian Road Bullies That Philips Met

Last week when I was driving to Seremban after exiting from the
PLUS highway I turned into a Kampung area.

As usual the kampung road was not as wide as the PLUS highway
and the condition is not as good as the highway too. Hence my
speed dropped from 120Kmph to 60Kmph... cruising.

There was a stretch of the road where the width of the road is
only enough for 1 car to pass. And at the opposite there was a
Proton Perdana heading my direction, hence I want to show my
Polite Malaysian, Courtesy Driver ( Pemandu Berhemah Tinggi )
and I let the Perdana pass first.

I politely winded down the windows and smiled to the Perdana Driver, and he also winded down the windows, travelling at 20kmph
he shouted at me, " Babi !!!!!!! " and drove off...vrooomm !!!

I was totally so stunned !!! What happened I asked my self????

Why I've been so nice & polite and people screwed me back that
I am a pig? a babi? a khinzir? ''sus scorfa"

Yeah I know that I am a little bit fat and big, but ?? why need to
so over reacting ?? What a lousy Malaysian Proton Perdana driver
eh???

The more I think, the more my anger came.... ^%$!$(*&#(*&^@!
began till filled up in my mind. Istilah orang kata " Hati sudah tidak
balance !!"

So, what to do? Hit on the gas as hard as I can to leave this
annoying place. 0 to 80 kmph in 8 second. Vrrrrrommmmm !!! and
my tyre screeethed like what 5xMom did when she was young.

10 second later I hit a bunch of pigs who were crossing the streets
like a 15 pounds bowling making a STRIKE !!!!

" Poooooooooonnnnnng !!!!!!!!! " and the pigs flew everywhere.
Some landed on the Kampung House Atap, some landed in the river,
some landed on some "coconut' tree, some flew as far as to KLCC !!

OMG !!! The Nice Proton Perdana was warning me of these PIGS!!

Wheeewws !! I though I was so fat that people has to call me PIGS
already, well, no need to call my Gym Trainer already.

And, hmmmmm, let's go Bak Kut Teh tonight, a lot of dead pigs
around.... ke ke ke ek ke......

Amanda & Raymond

]

Amanda is my sales co-ordinator and she helps me really a lot in the
daily sales and marketing activities. Jessie is her assistant and both
of them are the "cutest" in the entire office, for year 2004/2005.

Oh and Raymond, Raymond is Amanda's husband. They get married
a few years ago and I think till today both of them are still very
in love with each other...hmmmm.... yeah... babeh !! yeah !!

When Raymond first fall in love with Amanda a few years ago, they've decided to go Solo Dating. Meaning one on one only without other's people.

They've ordered some dishes and rice and you know all those stuff
which the romantic chaps would be ordering.
Menu :

1. Ayam Kampung.
2. Kang Kong Goreng + Sambal Belachan.
3. Bola bola ikan.
4. Tom Yam.
5. Ketam Bakar.
6. Ikan Bakar.

And when the food is served they proceed to enjoy the food and
well the atmosphere was full of "mellow", "love", "tender" and the
aroma of Tom Yam ...hmmm...

Amanda, who is deeply in love with Raymond suddenly had an idea
and said:" Abang ! Abang sayang pada Amanda tak?"

Raymond a bit blur-blur:" Ya yang, Abang memang sayang engkau!"

Amanda," Kalau Abang Sayang Amanda, minta suapkan nasi pada
Amanda, Amanda suka disuap oleh lelaki yang gagah perkasa !
dan lelaki yang penuh dengan kasih-sayang !"

Raymond looked around the Restaurant, hmm, not much people, OK!

So Raymond used a spoon, filled with rice + a bit Kang Kung and
started feeding Amanda ( who looked like a baby fed by the father)
And Oh My Good look at the face of Amanda, so damn enjoying !!!!

So Amanda:" Kunyah-kunyah, kunyah-kunyah !!"

Amanda:"hmmm, Abang, macam ini sangat seronok lah :)"

Raymond:" Ya Sayang, Abang pun seronok !" -_-"

And Raymond filled another spoon of full of rice + kang kung...

Suddenly the Tom Yam smell stimulated Amanda nose and she felt
very itchy deep inside her nose, and she is about to sneeeze !!!!

Oh My God !!! No No No !!

Wheeew !! Luckily Amanda was able to close her mouth with her
hand on time....

But Still a Big O Loud " Ahhhhhhhhhhh Chiiiiii uuuuuuuu !!!! "

Holy Cow, that Sneeze was so powerful that it is recorded at
Rector Scale 9.7 ( Stronger then Sumatra Quake 26 Dec 2004 ).

But luckily Amanda already covered her mouth with her hand because she didn't want to be embarassed infront of Raymond.
And did I mention this is their first time Solo Date?

So the Sneeze of Rector Scale 9.7 has no where to go because
the mouth is shut.

Well the gasses and particles all came out from the nose instead.

Rice, Vegetables, Condol ( Green green stuff like worm ), Tom Yam
and all those stuff was flying at 1200 kmph towards the innocent
and handsome Raymond face.

Raymond was stunt !! Can't move, hand in the sky, with a full spoon
of rice that was suppose to feed Amanda.

Raymond's eyes, full of horror seeing all the debris from Amanda
flying to his direction at full velocity like the movie " Twister !" or
" End of the day " or even " Ultraman Taro !"

Couldn't do anything, just closed his eyes, Raymond did !!

1 second later, Raymond opened his eyes and see, his hand was
still in the sky, spoon still there, rice + kang kung still there.

The only thing diffrent, Amanda looked embarrased after the big O
loud Ahhhh Chiuuu !!!

And wait a minute, OMG there was a rice , a complete rice at
Raymond left cheek and Amanda was so embarrased. Imagine that
the debris from your sneeze ended up at your fiance cheek !!
and this is the first Date only !! Amanda is getting panic !!!

But, Raymond took the rice gently from his cheek and put in his
mouth and eat it !! He freakingly ate the rice !!! While chewing
the rice he said to Amanda,

" Tak apa sayang, I lap piu ! Never mind !"
" Nasi saja, tak apa, tengok, Bang makan aja nasi ini. "
" Hmmmm !! Sedap kerana ada air liur Amanda ! he he he !"

Amanda who was too touched by Raymond move married Raymond
2 months later and they all have a lovely & caring family till forever.

Here I would like to wish Amanda & Raymond always happy and
love each other till the end of time.

kai Hong quickily ran to long kang and vommit after writing this
blog. OMG this is the "geli"est and "wat tat"est story that I've
ever heard. OMG !! OMG !!! Holy Cow !!

Automatic Transmission vs Manual Transmission.

Hello good morning, I am Philips a.k.a Remco a.k.a Kai Hong ( yeh! )
and I am driving a Proton Wira with 5 speed manual transmission.

My relatives who are quite rich whostays
around Taman Tun Dr. Ismail has always something to say about my
manual transmission.

I can't stop thinking that, are most of the TTDI and BU people which are relative richer compared to me, have really forgoten
and can't drive a manual car?

Or are they simply to used to enjoying the convinience of Auto.
transmission. Whenever my dear 3rd Aunty ( my mother's sister )
sits in my car she will mumbles :" Aiyo why buy manual car?"
" Aiks see, manual car very ma huan (troublesome) one ! "
" Hoi yo yo, see kelam kabut have to change gear !"
" Aiks, you purposely buy manual car so I can't borrow your car
is it? hmm ? hmmm? hmm? Sui Chai !! Sui Chai !!"

I terus -_-" ?? And asking why? what's wrong !??

And a lot of my relatives when they see my car which has 3 paddles
they become -_-" also. First they really can't really remember how
to drive a manual car already. Secondly they feel very ma huan...

And the kids are even lagi canggih ( sai lek ) they all asked me like
this :" Wei Ah Hong Ko Ko , why your car got 3 paddles one?"
" My papa's car got 2 only !"
" My mama's car also 2 only !"
" My sister's car also 2 only !"

How am I going to explain to all these Rich Kids? Poor me !!

Well, at the end of the day I've just learned to ignored them.
And also warned them not to touch the Gear Shift when I drive.

Well, what's wrong being a manual car drive? Below are the pros:
================================================
1. Car has 3 paddles instead of 2.
2. Car has more racing style.
3. Car could perform Piu Yee at Ampang area & Bukit Tunku area.
4. Car could also perform Piu Yee at Cameroon Highlands.
5. Car has more power to overtake car.
6. Can easily beats S320 or BMW525 or so... but hard work :).
7. Save a lot of fuel for both sub urban and urban drive.
8. Wira still could hit RM 0.11 per Km performance.
9. Can perform PGCTPMAG. Means that can touch the lap or legs
of the leng lui sitting at the front pessenger seat when change
gear. Specially 1, 2 and 3 and 4th forward gear.

PGCTPMAG = Purposely Gear Change To Pok Mong At Girls.
Tried that on Cowinne Ng Chow Chin and it works perfectly &
flawlessly & seamlessly. But Cowinne later kasi 2 bitch slap.
Piak Piak on face and head.

Cons:
========
1. When stuck in traffic jam, feel sorry for the clutch and foot :).
2. When stuck in traffic jam, feel sorry for the left hand.
3. When traffic jam, or no traffic jam , one has no spare hand.
4. Hmmm....

Actually the main reason I go for a manual car is based on below :

1. Better fuel consumption compared to automatic model.
2. Better handling & control.

Because I tend to go outstation a lot like Penang, Kelantan, Johor
and stuff like that. Hence I've always glad that I've made a correct
choice.

A friend of mine who purchased an automatic Proton Wira 1500 cc
claim RM50.00 of petrol could clock about 250 to 300 km for her.

While my Manual Proton Wira 1500 could clock 450 to 500 km.

So, for long term I think I've definitely have save some $$$$ for
my wedding or for my new house or for my new car or whatsoever.

The moral value = if you are not afraid of trouble, victory is yours.
if you want convinience & easy, there's always a price to pay.

RM 1.42 per little, and RM 0.11 per km for Proton Wira 1500cc.
Tell me a reason why I should'nt be laughing all the way back to
Kelantan when I drive? Tell me !!

Manual Gear Rules !!!! Yeah !!

It's a beautiful Sunday morning !! Let's talk about makaning !!

The time now is 9:40 and I am sitting infront of my soho desk and
pretend to be Special Agent Dana S Scully from the FBI typing her
report case after case.

Did you noticed that she was using WordStar or WordPerfect most
of the time at her LapTop? LOL !!! Try to get some Season 1 X-Files
DVD and see for yourself. A lot of funny stuff when you see the
series which had it's debut in 1993, and geeeee !! 12 years ago eh!!

Alright, right now I trust my instruments and equipments are
better compared to Dana Scully, mine is a :=

Celeron 2400Mhz with 256K Secondary Cache Memory

512 MB DDR RAM

Total of 30GB of HDD

Reply = ( Nia Ma 30GB only meh? Well I ain't rich!)

32x CD-RW Drive

Reply = ( GNN Sales Manager for Megan woh! Use 32x CD-RW
only meh? I heard Philips sell 3 million pcs of CD-R + DVD-R per
month woh ! So what?

ASUS DVD Drive 16x

128MB ATI Grahphic Card

On board Sound Card AC'97

On board LAN card.

On board USB = 6 or 8 unit donno....

Logitech Black Coloured Keyboard

BenQ 15" LCD Monitor ( Price drop like hell right now ! )

Well, certainly right now this babeh is very much better compared
to the unit that Dana S Scully was using isn't it? Mah ah ah ah...
But 10 years from now when I read back. this would sounds like
another 286 or 386 or even 8088 already !!!

And right now for Light & Easy sake, I am listening to to the
on line Radio Station called Sky.fm quality is MP3 like and if you have broadband then good
for you, have a nice day enjoying all sorts of music !!!

Ah ! Wonderful Sunday Morning !!!

To be frank I've mentioned so many time that I don't like to sleep
until Sun Rise and Sun Burn a mark at the butt ( Chinese Sentence)
meaning that sleep till afternoon or evening !!!

Why? Cause it's a waste time, I only get 1 Sunday per week and
I ain't going to waste it babeh !! Hence here I am sitting here
doing some blog before going to do house chore !!

Damn when I woke up at 7 am this morning should have gone for
the swim. Now it's too blardy hot for it and have to wait till
evening when there's a lot of kids in the pool with a lot of
amature, and some funny ham sup guy trying to teach his girl
friend or wannabe girl friend how to swim !!

Philips says:" Not every guy could swim , but every guy sure
knows how to teach a girl to swim! " confirmed 900 over times!

I can swim and if anyone of you would like me to teach, I'll try
my best cause my Fat Lady said I am not too good at it.
Sorry Sayang I'll improve my teaching skills for swimming, by maybe
going down to teach some young girl now eh? ok?? LOL !!

Oh ! Yeah today I am suppose to blog about Penang food right?
he he he he he !! One word as usual :" Damn Nice !"

Reached Penang on late evening of Friday and hmmm... Tanjung
Tokong was closed, most of the nice spot are not operating any
more.

Well, tired made me proceed to check in at Sunway Hotel near
Komtar and walked down to the street infront of it. A lot of
hawker still open , yahoo !! ( Another Big O Mistake Made )

Ordered :

1. Lo Han Guo Drinks ( RM 2.00 ) wow ! manyak mahallinggem !
2. Chu Cheong Fun ( RM 3.20 ) not too bad. Ok nia.
3. Loh Bak ( RM 7.50 ) not too bad. Ok nia.
4. Hokkien Mee ( RM 4.00 ) wah seh ! Taste like plain mee! NG NG!

And proceed back to hotel for rest, total price = RM16.70 for
dinner. Experiance & Knowlege learn = Priceless !! No more food
other then original place of Lorong Selamat, Jalan Penang and
Tanjong Tokong.

On second day, Saturday afternoon went to Lorong Selamat for
it's famouse Little Red Hat Fried Kuey Tiao ( Yeah right LITTLE! )
Have to queue up for about 20 minutes or so for it. Well, worth
it !!!

The secret must be :

1. Food cooked via Charcoal ( smells good and without fosil feel )
2. Food cooked individually ( plate by plate, not bulk production )
3. The source the LRH aunty used.
4. Some sweat from LRH aunty !! ( -_-")

And yeah if you are there, look at the LRH ( Little Red Hat ) aunty
and you'll see her, not only wearing a "LITTLE" red had. she is also
wearing that kind of safety glass.

Like those we use in the Shooting Range to protect our eyes. And
those SWAT officers use in the action. Wah Seh LRH aunty is
modern + safety conseous + weaponary experiance = good !!

But one things is very important, the Fried Kuey Tiao prepared
by her is one of the best in the world. Fully automated procees
means the preparation process and procedures as below :

1. She first put plain & innnocent Kouy Tiao into wok. ( for 5 meal )
2. She put some secret recipe source into the Koey Tiao.
3. She put KT aside first.
4. She put in shrimp ( Big O Fat Shrimp that was )
5. She put garlic. and fried the shrimp + garlic a little bit !!
6. She then mix 1 person's shrimp+ garlic + KT.
7. Assistance throw in See Ham + Kao Choi for her.
8. She fried all those stuff for 5 sec.
9. She put in some more oil, fried an egg, put in source again.
10. Mixed everything, and she throw some Tau Geh in.
11. Mixed everything again and walah !! Done ! Babeh !!

About 1 minute per plate. That is RM7.00 ( for large ) and RM 4.50
or RM5.00 for small plate. Income = RM 7.00 per minute is better
then a lot of people that I know. Cheers !! She drives S500
latest Merc Benz I guess !!!

Way to enjoy the LRH Fried KT =

1. Sit down first.
2. Open mouth big big first.
3. Say " Ahhhhhh "
4. Use chop stick to put some KT into your mouth.
5. Shout " Aiyo !! Manyak Sedap !! GNN !"
6. Swallow with the loud "Gulp"
7. Repeat step 2-6 until the plate is so clean that they don't have
to wash the plate, mission accomplished in 3 minutes !!!

WTF ?? Waited for 20 minutes for a food that last 3 minutes only?

Well it's everywhere, we waited 1 year for bonus and Chinese New
Year and it's gone in 2 days time. World is fair! Wake up !!

More coming... burp !! ( Geee ! Tanjung Tokong Crab's smell! )

Philips is Fast and Furious

Time now is 1:51 am, early Sunday morning and I am just back from
Penang.

And so you ask me," How is Penang?"

I will reply," As good as usual, don't want to talk about it now."

You'll probably ask," Why?"

My reply is as below :
================

Philips is Fast because he made it from Penang bridge to Kepong
under 3 hour ( + 1 pit stop for petrol refuel ). New record for
Philips who is famous of driving very slow.

Philips was cruising at 130kmph to 140kmph because the road was
clear and visibility was really good. No rain from Juru onwards.
No heavy vehicles & no obstacles.

However there was a chap Merc C200 Kompressor was doing 180
or 190 and overtook me. I tried to "menyukat" or record his speed
by tailing him, when I reached 160kmph and he was still increasing
the gap of his car and my car...

I pointed at my nose and shouted " C200 Kompressor vs Wira,
are you out of your mind? Don't kit kit kat kat!"

Hence I went back and cruised at 130 and 140 all the way till
Kepong / Sungai Buluh Exit and end of Plus Highway story.

That's why I said Philips is fast....

Then why is Philips Furious?

Well actually on the way home from Kepong to Ampang ( Sent
fat lady back to Ampang first ) and from Ampang to KL. and KL
to Taman Tun Dr Ismail and then Kayu Ara.

I can't freaking believe my eyes... there must be hundreds of
these Mat Gang Bermotosikal/ Pelumba Haram ( MGBPH ) roaming
from Jalan Duta till Jalan Tun Razak, Bangsar till TTDI till LDP.

And what is going on with our place?? Will talk about this again
and I hope reader could contribute some idea to stop all these
nonsence.

What's in my mind? Spikes !! a lot of Spikes !!!!!
and Guns !!! a lot of Guns !!!!

Kancil vs Proton Wira

I am driving a Proton Wira 1500cc with 5 speed manual gear transmission.
My little sister who's studying in UKM drives Produa Kancil 850 ( Auto ).

She is back to Kelantan for her holiday now and yeh yeh yeh yeh ! I've 2
car to drive and feel like a damn lousy fat ass rich guy..... hehehehe.
Since my sister left me this kancil, something has happened to my life.

Every morning I wake up and feel very uncertain, today drive Proton Wira
or Produa Kancil leh? Compared to those people who has to decide to take
LRT or Bus or Taxi, I think I am one hell of a lucky lousy fat ass !!
Hmmm... Kancil or Wira leh ?? Hmm?? very difficult to choose lah !!

Well, finally I've let Kancil rest for today. Cause I am going to Penang
later right?
Don't want to drive Kancil to Penang cause can't possibly
ask this little Kancil to cruise at 140kmph all the way right?
And if need to overtake some fast S320 Merc or BMW 5 series, this Kancil
automatic ( 7 years old ) might as well spit blood from the arse and
get herself a good heart attack and die at Slim River, yo yo yo !!

Hence parked the kancil at visitor bay, locked it and get 2 days annual
leave application form for her.

Walked to my Wira, signal blinked twice indicated "system unlocked".
Warmed up engine 3 minutes.
Checked mirror.
Checked tyre pressure / structure.
Air Cond turned on and..... 101.8 Fm tuned... go go go !!!

3 minutes later I was doing 120kmph at NKVE and left some Merc & Ford
behind. Reached office at 8:45 am and clocked in ok.

Driving this Proton Wira of mine ( aged 2 years 7 month, 120,000km driving
skills ) always give me a piece of mind. I know this car is stable &
easier to control compared to my sister's Kancil.

The pick up of this car is also good, for both high speed and low speed.
And the most important thing is that the fuel consumption is still
maintained at about RM 0.11 per km ( RM 1.42 per litter , RON 97 petrol )
and I seldom has to worry about the performance.

However the internal of the car might need some tuning as sometimes there
are noise and stuff like that coming during a certain RPM performed.
Well, as long as the engine and major components are ok, right mate?

Driving the Produa Kancil is a diffrent experiance, it is light & small,
no power steering ( yeah ! difficult to do parallel parking ) , but it
has automatic transmission.

The first time I drive this Kancil my foot stepped on Gas and Brake at the
same time and the engine roared loud cursing at me &@!^%!%%!#*(*)#*$_!&)(!^@

And I looked at them and appologized, " Whoops sorry !"

and since them this Kancil works perfectly fine with me, despite some people
looked at me in the Kancil and asked themself.....

" How to stuff a Kancil into another Kancil?"

Thanks Cowinne Ng Chow Chin for asking this question... ^!@%$#^(*&^$(*!&^@(*&

But driving this Kancil at highway or even from Kayu Ara to KL has gave me
a little bit less confident. I pressed the gas till 80 or 90 kmph and I feel
really really fast already. The vibration and noise begins to be amplified
to a lvl that you've have to release the gas a little bit.

And over taking other vehicle for this Kancil is not too easy job. Sometimes
really have to be careful. Whenever someone ( other bigger vehicle ) bullies
me ( driving in the Kancil ) I will mumble in my heart, " Wait till I've
got into my Proton Wira and you'll be sorry for your pathetic arse !!"

But :) What the heck, big has big good, small has small good.
Don't be too choosy on what you have and what could you drive.

When you are complaining that your sport shoes looked old already.
think about those people who could not affort sport shoes.

When you are complaining that you cannot affort sport shoes.
think about those people who has no shoe at all.

When you are complaining that you have no shoe at all.
think about those people who has no foot or feet to wear shoes.

Get what I mean? Be satisfied and humble of what've you got.
Appreciate what you have, work hard to get what you want.

Insya-Allah... One day, you'll be like me, own an Proton Wira and
have a back up Produa Kancil ( Automatic Gear ) wah ah aha ha ha...

Cheers mate! Have a nice day !!

Philips is going to Penang... again !!!

Well it's 10:12 am right now and the date is 1st April 2005 Friday.

PC Fair organized by PIKOM will be happening in about 48 minutes
from now in Penang & Johor Bharu. Well as a supplier of CD-R and
DVD-R to a few customer of mine, I think I need to go and attend
the event again.

Going to Penang takes about 3.5 hours on normal day, which mean
no accident, no traffic jam, no heavy rain, with only 1 time Pit
Stop on the way. For petrol refuel and toilet dump....

And right now going to Penang is no more long distance drive for
me, it's like going out of town for a while & come back the next
day.

I once did told my boss that :" Yo I need no map in Penang !"
And he replied with disbeliefe :" Are you sure, Kai Hong?"

After a near 30 hours roaming there, even covered Seberang Prai
he believed me. And even my Penang customer was amazed by
my capability of roaming and moving around Penang without no
map :)

Actually, I think below are the reason :

1. The road sign/sign board in Penang is quite informative/complete.
2. Penang Island is a small place, you could make round and round
and round and round and at the end you will end up near Komtar.
3. Komtar is a good land mark ( ha ha ha... thanks! )
4. Spend a few visit to Penang and you will remember the area like
the back of your palm. Cause there are so many nice food stalls
and nice place that you have to keep reminding yourself.....

a. Lorong selamat ada Topi Merah Fried Kuey Tiao. Sedap.
b. Gurney Drive ada banyak Mar Chi & SYT. Sedap.
c. Jalan Penang ada cendol & FKT. Sedap.
d. Near Komtar ada banyak Dim Sum. Sedap.
e. Going to Balik Pulau. Durian Mountain/ Durian Farm. Sedap.
f. Tanjung Tokong. Seafood. Sedap.
g. Dan banyak lagi !!! Yo !!

So how could one forget about the location of Penang? Right?

Well apart from Penang's food and work. I liked Penang cause we
could see alot of hard working chaps there. And we could also
see alot of people with better temper compared to KL and PJ.
Same goes for Ipoh town too.

And oh another killer of Penang :

The pirated DVD industry there ( remember I suppy DVD-R/DVD+R )
they are really special and unlike some KL and PJ chaps...

In KL and PJ first the pirate DVD and VCD guys would look more like
Ah Beng with Proton Wira Modified with Neon Lights, with Golden
Hair and 20 over body piercing at nose, ears, eyes, foreskin, etc...

Penang, for what I've seen are as below ( Pirate Industry ):

1. The pirates are more polite. No "shout hit shout kill" !
2. Price of DVD movie is much more cheaper. No price control.
3. The pirates are very honost. They will inform you well this
movie is not clear, that movie is cinema version, and oh this is
clear. Or even suggest you to come back in 3.5 days later to
get a clear version or so.
4. No wonder my boss pointed at them and told me :
" 盗亦有道，取之有道，抵他成功！好！"

Yeah I mean, you could succeed in any industry, as long as you
don't 杀人放火 to achieve it. Use your inteligent & flexibility and
you may be good in your industry. Aint' that right?

Well, back to Penang visit, I really recommend this Penang Island
and Ipoh town to you all. Spend some time there if you are free
and I bet you'll get more then what you are expecting.

1. Very good deal on DVD tittles.
2. Very good food.
3. Very good hotel.
4. Very good people.
5. Very good weather ( hot like hell ).
6. Very good battery and spitir charged in 24 hours time.

So why wait? Book your hotel and head up to Penang this weekend
and see you there. If you grow up in Malaysia or even Singapore
and tell me you've never visit Penang before.

I would tell you that you've perhaps have missed some of the best
moment of your life.

I would like to put it :" Live in Penang, Love in Penang !"
or whenever I am there I would sing :" I'm loving it!"

P/s : I would like to thank my father/ my family who used to take
me there (Penang) when I was a kid. As I grow up, I even find more
ways to enjoy myself in Penang. Thanks Papa & Mama !!

And yo to my lovely customer who stays in Penang. See you tonight
and keep some nice food for me you all yeah !!
