Brandy

I just learn that the most expensive Brandy/Cognac in the world is Henry IV Dudognon Heritage, which is priced at amazing US$ 2 million. Ridiculous? What if I say it is filled with 100cl of hundred years Cognac Grande Champagne? Still overpriced? Now let me further clarify that the bottle is dipped in 24K Yellow Gold & Sterling Platinum and decorated with 6,500 certified brilliant cut diamonds and weighted over 8kg. Does it justify the value of such wine? Well if you have some friends who have an extra bottle and have no place to put it, please get it from them.


I really wouldn't mind including this in my collection

Jogathon



I will be running this Marathon this coming Sunday. This marathon has been a yearly event for nine years and will be my second participation. Let’s hope I can finish the race without fainting half way through. The purpose of the event is to show Chinese cares about their ancestors and Cemetery and opposing the government’s relocation plan. Ironically the yearly winners for most categories have been Indian. Perhaps they are just born to have better physical and stamina (as well as talk faster, shake their head better as they talk and appreciate 'curry' better).

Credit Card

I experience several unpleasant experiences with credit card company lately. First of all, I applied for MayBank American Express credit card amid father’s request weeks ago but they gave me a Visa Credit card instead without notifying me earlier, wasting my petrol and time to claim a card that I never requested. I have informed them to cancel the card, however, am not sure if they have acted on it. Secondly, AmBank Credit Card Computer Telephone system calls me today telling me I haven’t been paying my credit card (sum of RM 5k) since last year. I have to say that I am duly impressed as this is the first time I receive a phone call from a computer system. However, since I never possess an AmBank Credit Card, I have no idea why this ‘high-technology’ system can dial the wrong number. Such a shame.



Have you receive calls from 'high-tech' computer system that made an error?

Dota

Dota

Cute pic of Dota - the computer lan game which have consume our (The dota gang, previously 7 of us and recently decline to 3) time for more than five years. It started way back in year 2004. I have no idea what's so interesting about this game. May be we just "eat too full and have nothing better to do". Haha :)

Note:
First row second from the right - Queen of Pain - previously Sing's special 'hero'.
Second row second from the left - Rikki (S.A.) - my favorite hero in version 5.
Second row second from the right - Razor - Ken's favorite.
Third row second from the right - Maiden - Song's 'wife' in the old days.

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?
