Ipoh trip

I was a Ipoh these couple of days to attend one of my cousin's wedding, which I'm not closely attached to. They are my cousin, and i think blood related as well, but when i meet them up, i really could not recall any fond memories i had with them, the worse is i don't even know how to call them.....so i just laughed/smiled and called them by thier nicknames **eih*.

Ok, forget about the wedding stuff, and let me bring you to what i've done during this 2 day ordeal that i had. The best memories could probably be summarized into a very short sentence which is "Damn cow full". As you flers know, IPOH is a popular makan destination for most malaysian, and the taste and quality of the food there *If you know where to go* is simply out of this world.

I'll name some examples,the chicken floss noodle in lou wong, ho hee noodle, tuck kee prawn noodle, egg tarts from nam cheong, dim sum from foh san, yong tau foo from cheah bro's and etc, are some of the must have that topped my list once i'm there.

Because yesterdays was the only day, i've ever spent a full 12 hours there in Ipoh, i'll show you what i;ve done there in a day.

1) Foh san dim sum as usual.
2) Visit the coffee shop infront of nam cheong for a white coffee, roasted bread, and chee cheong fun.
3) After finishing the coffee, we walked over to nam cheong, to drink coffee again, but this time we ordered the fresh pastries and *egg tarts* and fried mee.
4) Hang out in starbucks ipoh parade, and coffee again.
5) After finishing coffee, drive over to somewhere near the haircut academy to have Ho-hee noodles and wanton mee, and then washed down with some chinese desert ( don't know what's it called though).
6) Waited in a long line for *happy mountain* tow foo fah *beancurd desert*.
7) Drove over to pat kok lou pastry shop, and packed a lot of pastries.
8) Dinner in a new hotel, somewhere near casuarina. We can still sapu all the food in the table.

With our tummies all full to the brim, we happily drove home. But now, i'm suffering because as i'm posting this, i had a ENO drink on desk, and my tummy is burbling heavily at this moment, guess i'm gonna have to starve my self for the entire week, to offset the carbs i gained in this 2 days.

Waiting

 

I was blogging this while waiting in front of my lecturer's office waiting to meet him. Because i had already waited for an hour, and i think i'm gonna wait for at least 1 more before he shows up, it will be better if i could kill some time entertaining you flers here instead.

What i was hoping to shout out was the problem with waiting. You readers could probably had waited for so many thing to come, or perhaps won't come. But have you ever wondered on why do you have to wait for them and not vice versa instead?.

Many people waited for so many things, be it your bonus,your birthday,your love and etc, but why wait when you could have done something else instead?

Perhaps while waiting for that special something or someone, you could at least be doing something else to obtain another thing? Confused?. I'll give an example on LOVE. Instead of waiting for a girl or a guy to show up at your doorstep and be your lovely GF or BF, why don't we PLAY/FLIRT around before we come back and meet the person you're waiting for LATE?.

Being born and bred in Malaysia, i've seen many many examples of people being late for MY appointment. In fact I am in in this situation now myself, but am I pissed?.....Nuhhh...I'm cool at least FOR NOW.

I'm cool because i've adopted the laid back approach from the Americans. They taught me that the ultimate bling factor is getting from one point to another in a fashionably late manner. Maintain composure, your coolness, your temper and your style when you arrive late......but when people arrive late for at your meeting, Fuck them mercilessly.

Love is so complicated

What got me blogging about this subject is because i had some issues from a nephew of mine. The story goes like this:

my neph posted something on his facebook wall, saying "I'm done with you' then few minutes later he changed his status to 'single'.

Being a gor gor its natural that i post a comment and ask about the situation,and i usually have the tendency to quote some sarcasm into my lines as well, so i said something like 'people nowadays are so rambang ...etc'. Minutes later i received a blardy long mail from a girl, which i think is his girlfriend.
In the message, she asked me about his relationship with other girls. " its' funny, becuase it reads like she's so into backhand-ing the bitch that stole her bb.boy"

a qoute from the msg;

aka xxxx hi. · erm.. may i noe wat do u mean on yyyy status thr? u said him owez chg girls? izit he owez chg gf last year and oso within tis 3 months? cn u plz tel me the truth? erm.. don tell yyyy tat i msg u

i felt her desperation and stupidity in this particular message. This girl is so immature and not independant at all.

There could be a reason if you loose your bb.boy to someone else, maybe you're incompetent?,maybe your 32B is not sizeable enough?, or maybe you looked like his mom rather than his girl? or worse your habit makes other people beh tahan.

If you could read this dear... I hope you could solve this matter with real maturity. He's a big boy now, no need to sneak out and check him from behind, a real face to face Q and A would do nicely, you gotta look him in the eye, and ask him sincerely. There's no point sending me so many questions about him, because at the end of the day, you're the one who's making out with him and not me.

And the tip of the day for you is, don't even think of checkin your guy out. Guyz are the most honest being on earth. No point in looking where they've shove thier kok. Take my advice, real men speak true words.

And please, i hate it when people say ' dont tell him i asked you to....' WTF is the oldest trick in the book. I'm REAL men....

My Nokia E7 review

Just got myself a brand new Nokia E7 from the local Avaxx distributer. This phone which is considered to be Nokia's flagship model cost a cool RM2000 here in Malaysia. Upon receiving the complete package, i was surprised to see the size of the box, which is really really small and compact and tiny and microscopic and miniscule and..........

11/3/2011 Japan Tsunami Update in North America

A simulation model showing the Tsunami affected area. Its heading towards the U.S.

Emeryville U.S Tsunami, Hours after the japanese Earthquake

San Franciso Bay Tsunami

Hawaii Tsunami

Since the ripple is directed towards the U.S, from the videos shown thru youtube, it shows that most of the U.S coast saw very minor waves of 2-4 meters high only, and the Tsunami Arrives LATE., and from this event, we've learnt that Tsunamis can travel a long distance, and still deliver a devastating punch. Thankfully the Pacific ocean is so big, and this tsunami loses steam after crossing it.

GOD Blessed America.

Doomsday At 2012? The Truth On The Japanese Earthquake.

Today 11th March 2011, 60 Japanese were killed in major tsunami after 8.9 magnitude quake.
Tsunami warnings blanketed the entire Pacific, as far away as South America, Canada, Alaska and the entire US West Coast.

The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake unleashed a 23-foot (7-meter) tsunami and was followed by more than 20 aftershocks for hours, most of them of more than magnitude 6.0. Police said that at least 60 people were killed and 56 were missing. The death toll was likely to continue climbing given the scale of the disaster.

 

Japan's Quake is just a warning on the Impending mega disaster that's coming?

I was reading an internet article about the impending doomsday that ancient Mayan civilisation had predicted on 2012. It seems that there's signs of warnings going all around us. DO YOU THINK "HE" IS GIVING US A WARNING?  Let's take a look on the warning's from other parts of the world.

Let me show you an example from the US.

2 days ago, tonnes of tuna's died in the marina of California, and they said it was due to oxygen depletion.

Birds fall from sky in Arkansas, and they said, fireworks did it. Again 2011

 Let's qoute something from MSNBC network on the mass animal death in the US.


–MSNBC, “First dead birds, then dead fish … now crickets”

Another mass insect death in U.S

The article goes on to mention the mass fish and bird deaths, and says “biologists say these mass die-offs happen all the time and usually are unrelated. … In the past eight months, the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Wildlife Health Center has logged 95 mass wildlife die-offs in North America and that’s probably a dramatic undercount, officials say.”
The list includes:

• 900 some turkey vultures that seemed to drown and starve in the Florida Keys.
• 4,300 ducks killed by parasites in Minnesota.
• 1,500 salamanders done in by a virus in Idaho.
• 2,000 bats that died of rabies in Texas.
• And the still mysterious death of 2,750 sea birds in California.

And if you think it Malaysians are spared from the disaster, think again.

I'm in an emotional heaven now

Yea, its the a peice from Ryuichi sakamoto - merry christmas mr. lawrence, and its one of the most popular themes around, and this version is the original one. Its an old song, but because of the various version i heard, i was not impressed then. But after listening to this original one.....Awh,beautifull.

I had been trying to play this song ever since this week, but can't really hit the right tone. I mean its easy to just read the scores and play it on the piano, but to FEEL it is difficult....and boy oh boy, i can't EMO... maybe i should reserve this song for my future heartbreak moments.

It's my BaByDog's birthday

She's maggie, couple of years of years old, and its been a year since we last adopted her from the animal shelter.

She nearly went back to the shelter because my parent which initially wanted a guard dog, but eventually brought back a lovable and friendly dog. Just because they were so busy with their work, we decided to keep her instead, soon days, became months, and then a year had past.

Her happy nature, and her habit to stick close to her owner means that she is definitely the best companion dog, rather than a guard dog. After a stressed day at the office, my 2 lovable pets will be the one that's gonna let me forget everything...at least for a while.

Pets love=mom love

Exploring my PS3

The keyboard is slow

very pixalated

Forget PPS...This is way way better

I usually use my PS3 for gaming only, but now i've found another way to utilise it. All this while i had been playing games on my PS3 only because the built in wifi antenna of the PS3 is so crappy that i have to either move the router or the ps3 around my house just to get a signal. I got fed up with moving my ps3 around my house, so eventually i surrendered and used it for offline purpose only.

Since i've moved to a new office recently, i've managed to salve miles and miles of ethernet cables that i can used to hook my router to my PS3. The result is stable internet connection. So stable infact that i've stop using my laptop to stream movies. The only drawback with using the PS3 as a network TV is the inability to watch HD videos. I have to use youtube's XML (TV version of youtube) to watch non HD content. Videos that played so well on my PC, becomes very pixelated on the TV. I've read thru the web that youtube had specifically made a site for PS3 users called ps3.youtube.com . I've tried that but it seems like some HD videos still gives errors.

The conclusion is don't use your PS3 as a media player, but if you still want to do it, please install UBUNTU into it. This OS installation will turn your PS3 into a full fledge PC.

Wohoo, the NOKIA E7 is finally out

OMG, nokia had gone big screen this time around. With 4 inch of display area, it might well be the company's flagship model.

I've already seen the device itself in Maxis centre, becasue it is the most stunning ones you'll ever gonna notice there.  Its very slim, quite heavy, very very properly built and feels very high in quality, and don't get me started on the beautifull display with amazingly vivid colour because it will wet the pants of some geeks in the process......

The moment i picked up the device, it felt so blardy solid and hefty, felt like holding up a gold bar!!!!. But once you turn on the power and started to scroll around and exploring the functions, you'll quickly experience some noticeable lags. To say that its not powerfull enough is definately not true because its got a 680 MHz ARM 11 processor and a Broadcom BCM2727 GPU, sufficient enough for a symbian.

Honestly, i really loved thi device and would like to bring one home, but the lag really put me off, and I think i'm gonna go to a nokia centre to re explore this device again before i make any decisions.

Farewell dinner in LiYen

liyen at The ritz carlton K.L

Add caption

An example of what i had. Its the only photo i took. Too busy eating and forget to shoot the rest.

My first Chinese fine dining experience was at Liyen Ritz carlton in K.L (Jalan Imbi) 2nd Floor. As with all the other french/italian and etc dining experience, the Chinese ones are quite similar in some ways but totally reversed taste wise.

The similarity starts with the presentation of the thing, which starts with a very big plate and a small serving in the middle, and expect plate changes to occur very frequently, and chinese tea being topped up after every sip, and that's about where the similarities stops.

The chinese food i had here had a Cantonese theme to it, which most of them taste very mild in seasoning, and natural flavors is very much preferred. As a HAKKA kid, the food i ate are mostly very heavy in seasoning/herbs and spices, but after trying out this typical cantonese food, I quickly fell in love with it.

To sum up what i had that evening:-
-peking roast duck
-snow fungus and winter plums with braised pork
-barbecued baby pork ribs
-some braised sea cucumber and abalone
-apple and pork soup
-steamed soon hock fish
-some steamed veggies
-superior fried rice with scalops and prawns
-deep fried prawns with some sweet glazing on top of it.
-diced duck in a wrap
-superior glass noodles with alot of expensive things in it.
-coconut jelly desert
-fresh almond juice

You may think that the list is incredibly long, but the servings are relatively small in comparison with other traditional chinese cuisine. And we had 2 bottles of white wine (forget what's the name) to wash down all the food we had, and some excellent Chinese tea as well, and like all typical chinese meal, it had to be accompanied by at least some beer, so we ordered 4.

The bill for all these fine experience comes to rm2,400 for 9 of us. Yea, 9 of us just ate an iphone 4 in one single feast.

To rank the taste of the food, i'll definately put it below Overseas restaurant (Jln Imbi), but experience wise, it'll be an absolute first for me> number one

Evolution of the species

Maxis broadband, my first broadband device

Little P1 super wiggy, compact and fast, but its range is very limited
.

Get what i mean?

I've finally reached my 1 year Maxis broadband contract and i'm looking forward to change my ISP, The package that i've signed up with maxis, gives me a 3gb qouta monthly, and some pretty descent speed for my work regardless of where i am. I can work at home or in the office, and even in the forest of Kuala Lipis, I'm still able to send messages and surf the web.......Well that's about the good things that i can say about maxis BB.

KASE of SAMAN EKOR

This is definately a true case which should have been brought out earlier. The case of Saman ekor  which means summoning the driver and have the summonses delivered via post.

HD no more

My HTC HD2 had been with me for nearly a year now, and look at it now! battle scars,bruises and scratches all over its body. This phone had served its purpose relatively well, blowing iphones, and Androids far far away, and now since its warranty had already expired, i've decided that its time to get another Windows phone.
