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?

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 :)

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.
