I saw this video on www.kukujiao.com. Its funny shit.

拜天公来源

传说明朝时一年的农历新年，倭寇在福建沿海一带，杀人放火，抢夺财物，乡民扶老携幼逃命。

　　乡民在黑夜中逃到一处偏僻郊野时，眼见倭寇就要追上，大家感到万分惊恐，突然前面出现一大片蔗林，乡民便逃入蔗林躲避，避过倭寇，逃过鬼门关。

　　 这天正是大年初九，逃出生天的乡民都认为这是天公救命，于是每年的大年初九凌晨便祭拜天公，以谢救命之恩。而拜甘蔗也具有不忘蔗林藏身救命之恩。

　　另一传说是，古时有一名孟将军，他到某个地方，只要喝了当地的水，就会讲当地的话，他就以这门本事辨别汉人。

　　可是他到了福建，手下竟然拿了外省的水给他喝，结果他一直不懂讲福建话。他便以为福建人不是汉人，就下令大开杀戒，福建人枉死无数。

　　 到了大年初九那天，从外省运来的水喝光了，孟将军才喝到福建的水，会讲起福建话，这时他才知道杀错人，马上下令封刀。而福建人认为这是天公所赐，让他们逃过大劫，便在初九凌晨拜天公谢恩。

Finally

Finally, she is coming over on 5th of March for a 1 month visit. (^^)

Therefore, my trip to China will be postponed.

Die Scammer Die!!!!

I just love this episode of Judge Judy. She really embarrass the sow on TV.

Public Toilet

He is giving public toilet a new definition.

Spot The Error

Can you spot the errors here? What's wrong with this picture?

Its Time Again

Its time of the year again. Besides Chinese New Year, it is also the time where I'll be clearing all my leaves. Which means I'll have 1 month of offdays (^^)

Isn't it great to get paid for staying at home? Not cheating the company but these are what I'm entitled to.

Crocs Boutique

Was wondering in Ikano today and saw this. Crocs is finally having a boutique here in Malaysia. If I'm not wrong, I think this is the first in Malaysia.

A New Phone

Soon, I will have a new phone. A W850i to be exact. I had redeemed it with my Digi bonus points today. Results of whether I got the phone will be available at the end of the month. Man, I hoped to get a white one.

6000pts for 1 new phone. Not bad. Just take it as a gift for supporting Digi for so long.

Yup, some might say 6000pts is quite a lot of money leh. Indeed, its a lot of money spent. But at least I'm getting something back now.

What the hell, forget about the numbers as long as I get a new phone.

My E-Business

Since I'm a fan of all crazy and useless stuffs, I'm thinking to myself, why don't I start a website selling all these rubbish/gadgets online. Who knows, I might be next tycoon. (^^)

William

This is one eating establishment which no one will believes that they serves Italian food. Located near the old Lim Kok Weng building in Taman Mayang, PJ. Any first timers there would think that it looked like just any other mamak.
In fact, they serve Italian food at a not quite reasonable price. Although the portion of food is large enough, the location they are at is a bit dilapidated. I would expect a more proper place to dine.

过小年

昨天，阳历二月十一号，也是腊月二十三日，是华人另一个重要的日子，俗称过小年。

东南亚华人的传统习俗里也许没多少人知道 这日子代表什么。但在中国，这就是等于过年似的。这一日，家家户户会在家里的炉灶拜拜。向灶神奉献一些甜食，好让灶神回到天庭时，能为这家人在玉帝面前说些好话。好为来临的一年里能得到上天更多的祝福。

Pissed Off

Aren't you pissed at drivers, when at stuck at a jam still try to squeeze their way thru even though the traffic lights had already turn green on my side.

And this car in front of me WLM 3038, a Toyota Vios is trying to make a U-turn into the jam.

CB, cannot queue up properly is it?

A Different Feel

It is always nice to go shopping in the middle of the night. Less crowd, more carparks, a different feel and an even lousier service. Me and KKpan went to Carrefour Kepong for a midnight shopping trip yesterday. Just for the fun of it and to waste some time away from the office.
Everything was good except that we had to wait for a sissy cashier trying to scan the items clumsily. The time spent queueing at that lane is much longer then the time we spent shopping inside.

Is It True?

Malaysia's trade for 2006 breached the RM1 trillion mark. And due to the recent rally of the stock market, strengthening of the Ringgit against the Dollar, and of course, the exported value. Are the good times really back as reported in all major newspapers today? Even if we had a positive word from the Finance Ministry, how true is true?

Although the Ringgit is now RM 3.50 to USD 1.00, the stockmarket index increased 24% in the last 3 months. What does that means to the people?

Does that means that people are going to get a big pay package, a big bonus from their companies, some incentives from the Government or better infrastructure for Malaysians? Will the people gets to enjoy the fruits of labour together, having to put up with all the numerous increments within the last 24 months? Petrol and toll increments are the most significant and effects almost all who owns a vehicle.

Will the Government reward the people for having tolled so hard throughout these years of so call "Economic Crisis"?

I personally salute to those extraordinary companies who made this RM 1Tr export figure a fact.

I also salute those factors who strengthen the Ringgit against the Dollar.

But I detest those who gamble in the stock markets when they see a chance to make a quick buck. I felt that they are creating another bubble like the one prior to the 1997 crisis. A 24% increment in the composite index in the last 3 months is just too fast in my own opinions. Making it a 8% increase per month. IF the current CI is 1248.83, what will happen if this continue for another 10 months? Does that means that we can expect the CI to hit over 2000 pts in October?

Call me a skeptic. But how well will Malaysia be prepared if another crisis happens again?

Let us hope, pray and see in the near future.

What would you really want yourself if the the good times are really back?

Innovation By Malaysia Tourism Board

I can't help but to wonder what the hell is this signage doing here just outside the Pudu Jail? What are the responsible body trying to say? To tell the jailmates(if any) in Pudu Jail to go to the places of interest once you have step out of jail? Or is it to tell the foreign visitors that YES, Bukit Bintang area is always in heavy jam and you can walk to your desire destination if you want to.

I wonder will this sign still be there after VMY 2007.

New Aircon For The New Year

My old aircon has served me well. Over 14 yrs of cool night sleep. Maintainence was done regularly until no more can be done. So I decided to change a new aircon. And after getting 1 month plus of cool night sleep in my brother's room, finally I had my new unit installed today. (^^)

Let's hope for another 14yrs of service from this new unit.

Seeing is Believing

My brother, aged 26, single but attached, had a very bad habit since his was a baby. That is sucking his thumb while sleeping. I have a photo to prove too!!
I think he's gonna kill me when he found out that I had posted his photo in my blog. (^^)

1 Year

It's almost 1 year since I got my car. 359 days to be exact. And time to renew my road tax. Meaning money gone........

What to do? Have to renew mah, else don't drive lo.

So I need to collect my original registration card at Public Bank.

I remembered correctly the last time I sign some documents, the registration card was there. But this morning, they told me that they had transferred to Damansara Utama Branch.

And I almost got myself a summon for parking illegally at the roadside while enquiring about my registration card at the bank.So in the end, I had to make my way to the Damansara Utama Branch. And this time, I found myself a legal parking space.

Wedding Dinner

Just reached home from a wedding dinner in Puchong, Kinrara. I never like wedding dinner dishes. But this is one of the best I had in years so far. But the continuity of the dishes are real slow. Started at 8.30pm ended at 11.00pm. Although 2.30hrs is normal, I felt that we can finish earlier.
