Pan Mee

I went to one of my favorite hawker food - Kinkin Chilli Pan Mee in Chow Kit couple of days ago and was very surprised to see the change of staff. The 'fierce' tea-lady was promoted to cashier cum 2nd-chef and the main chef is a lady who I have never seen before. The boss on the other hand was caught wandering around at the back of the premises. The quality of the food dropped significantly as expected. I hope this is just a temporaly staff subsitution rather than a permanent 水鬼升城王.

Awana phobia

Once upon a time (about ten to fifteen years ago) I played golf at Awana, in which I lost more than 10 balls, gave up half way through and told myself not to ever play in this course again. I visited the course again yesterday and experience similar disaster. I tried to give myself all sort of excuses such as bad weather (heavy rain mid way through the game) and wet soggy grass. A better logical explanation is that I have phobia in this course. Score of 107 is the worst this year thus far, however, am confident that I would not repeat similar performance as long as I don’t visit the same stupid course.

Wrong column

Alas! Someone put my photo in the newspaper. I would gladly announce to the world if it’s the news about me saving the world or rated businessman of the year. Unfortunately, it’s the column for the youngster (age 18-25) and I am only about ten years too late for that. Guess I should have informed that to do some touchup on the photo or block the age section haha :P

New PM

Our son of former PM, Najib has taken oath as PM this morning. Being one of the most controversial politician in Malaysia history, Najib was accused to be involve in a murder case. Nonetheless, what’s one murder case compare to killing of thousands (yes Bush, I’m referring to you)? Najib was predicted to be PM more than ten years ago by a Taiwan minister, citing he has the ‘face’ to be one. Isn’t “face reading” a fascinating subject. (P.S. I always wonder how would face reading works on those who has undergo plastic surgery.) So what are you destined to be if you believe in destiny?


Who has a better face reading?

101 @ Bangi

Still haven’t got the chance to play golf in Awana after weeks of planning and instead played in Bangi two days ago and scored a 101, four points lower than my last results three weeks ago. The progress is on track towards my goal of 96. The score is also lower than my dad for the first time, but it’s really due to his poor performances rather than my brilliance. Let’s hope we both can improve and play at top form (with my score slightly lower :P ).

Maxis, Wymax or TM NET?

I experience internet problems lately as the service that I subscribe to, Maxis Broadband, has a bandwith cap of 3 GB per month, which I easily exceeded within the first two weeks of each month. I was told that Wymax broadband has bandwith cap of 5 GB, but they couldn’t be bother calling me after I sign up the ‘request form’. TMNET Streamyx, on the other hand, also not too enthusiastic with my application and has no progress despite being constantly chased by myself for weeks.

I think I have found the cause to Malaysia’s recent poor economy. Big companies just don’t want to earn business even if you beg to give your money away. May be they are trying to shut down some bank accounts to save on the bank admin costs.

Dreams

My best friend once told me that if your hand is under pressure as you sleep (i.e. if someone lie on top of your hand), you’ll definitely have dream. (It also probably implies that if he has dreams, he must be hugging someone in his sleep).

I don’t agree with that a hundred percent but I usually don’t remember my dreams the following morning. Anyway, my dream last night is about going scuba diving and my Oxygen tank isn’t working (which I later realize it is running out of Oxygen after consulting with another friend). It isn’t an issue for me in dreams, as I can always breathe under water as well as having exceptional jumping abilities and skill of flying. I wonder what are the meanings of these dreams.


What's your latest dream?

The bunnies are up to Level 4

I hereby announce that the much anticipated Prison Bunny episode 28 to 30 is finally released. Apparently season three is structured in such a way that the main characters go up each level of the building per episode. The bunnies are now up to 4th floor :)



For some reason youtube is extremely slow whilst downloading the three episodes. Maybe everybody is as crazy as I am and download the clip at the same time.

Awaken Baccus

We have an informal wine tasting session last night. There are ten attendees tasting four bottles of wines, two Shiraz from Australia and two French wines (a VdT and a Beaujolais (pronounced as bo-zho-lay). It is absolutely informal as some of us are busy imitating the characters in the TV series “Kami no Shizuku” and techniques mentioned such as ‘switch glass method’, although we have strong doubts that it makes any difference. I wonder why most Malaysian, inclusive myself can never appreciate French wine as much as the Australian wines. Maybe French wines are for the oldies since it’s the so-called old world wines right? So which country wines do you prefer (i.e. are you an oldies?)



Baccus, also known as Dionysus, god of wine and vegetation, who showed mortals how to cultivate grapevines and make wine.

Golf

In ancient time when someone use a stick to hit the grass and shout to the sky, we call them ‘witch craft’. Today we call them golf.

I went to play golf on course yesterday, the first time in about eighteen months. Results are satisfying at 105, yet need to improve to around 100 to achieve my goal of handicap 24 by year end. Unfortunately the weather in Malaysia is too hot to enjoy the full 18 holes. I remember the days in Melbourne when Francis and myself tee-off at 6pm plus and run through the course to finish nine holes before sun-set. Maybe I should find some early bird to tee-off at 7plus in the morning and finish before noon. Are you an earlybird?

TV Series

I’m currently watching “Kami no Shizuku”, a Japanese TV series about red wines. I do recommend to those wine lovers. You can watch it at http://www.mysoju.com/kami-no-shizuku.

Some of my other all-time favorite TV series include “Entourage” and “24”. There are both very addictive and I strictly warn those who don’t have hours to spend to not commence watching it. It’s addictive and before you realize, a few days of your time has gone.
