GPS - Global Positioning System

2009-01-07T11:30:00.003+08:00

I'd just like to enquire on how effective can a GPS be. I have friends who's using Garmin GPS and some using other brand GPS but then one thing for sure... They got lost, i can't believe it that even with GPS they got lost.

Its like this I've tested one of the GPS before, just turn on the GPS, wait for satellite to align with your GPS and select your destination then it will show you all the possibilities to get to that place.

One thing for sure, they will utilize the major roads and will not show you any short cuts unless you skipped the major road and it will source out for another alternative route for you.

But there is a loophole here, yes it does show you the alternative route, and guess what.. it goes against the traffic cause its a 1 way street or a no entry sign. So how effective can a GPS be?

I know that if you're not familiar with the area or trying to look for the place a GPS will be in good hands at that time. So you've gotta like actually update it constantly to get it right.

Well one thing good about GPS is they're equipped with some extra info like ETA and speed that you're travelling and i find it interesting.

ETA - estimated Time arrival

Speed - Speed that you're travelling

Talking about GPS, my phone is actually a GPS hotline for people to call when they're lost and when they're not familiar with the roads that they are travelling. I've even had ex-colleagues that called me and ask.

Ex-colleague "hey do you know shah alam well"

Me " i said, i know the general places in shah alam. why?

Ex-colleague " oh good then do you know how to get to Seksyen 25/5"

Me " i was like WTF... I'm no GPS man but if you were to ask for landmark i can show you but not to your exact location..

That was the last time i heard from him. I did get some calls from him previously asking on how to go places but that was before the SHAH ALAM incident.

The best thing is, my number does not limit me to roads only.

One of my friend even called me and ask me

"eh.. i'm in one utama now.... how to get to Sony Centre ah?"

I'm like.... go here turn left and go straight in the new wing bla bla bla.. and she manage to find it..

Being shocked myself.. now whenever my phone buzz and i see the persons name.. I'll answer

"GPS hotline.. how may i help you"

Its funny thinking back about it..

Gardenia Bread!!

2008-12-22T17:02:00.005+08:00

Here's something interesting on how to buy your fresh wholesome Gardenia bread.

When you buy your bread, have you wondered how to choose and which one is the freshest of em all? Some say they "squeeze" for freshness and softness. Some say check the expiry date, my mum taught me to look for the longest expiry date and check around make sure there are no fungus growing on the bread.

Did you know that the bread is delivered freshly to the stores 5 days in a week?

They are delivered on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Each and everyday they have a different colour twist tie (that explains much how come there are so many different colour twist tie)

They are : -
Blue on Mondays
Green on Tuesday
Red on Thursday
White on Friday &
Yellow on Saturday

So if today Tuesday.. you would want a green colour twist tie instead of Yellow that is produced on Saturday.

I hope this is interesting and actually enlightens you why is the bread twist tie clip in different colours.

So enjoy fresh bread when you buy the right colour on the right day of your grocery shopping day!

Please comment if you find this useful or interesting and spread the word!

Prawning (15/12/2008)

2008-12-16T13:43:00.009+08:00

Well since i've not been updating my blog as often as i used to due to work load and busy schedule. Today i found some lil time in between to update what i did yesterday.

After work went home and prepared my hooks for some prawning session with a friend who's so engrossed and curious on how i catch these tiger prawns.

He witnessed it and he tried it.. i think he's hooked to it as well. Thats good cause his mum don't really need to buy prawns from the market anymore.

Some updates on the prawns that i caught yesterday.

Each prawns is averagely about 9 inches. it weights more or less around 100 grams each.

Total catches for the day.. not bad i would say..

so if catch around 10 - 15 it makes a kg. This prawns are huge and.. its so yummy. Can't wait for it to be cooked.

Here are some of the prawns that i caught.. but this photo's are taken a few weeks back just didn't have the time to post.

These are some of the big prawns that i had previously. Freshly caught and steamed with egg white with lots of chinese rice wine. Taste heavenly!

I would say.. my hobby is a lil worth it.. why do i say that.. my mum don't need to buy anymore prawns from market.. my family only eat tiger prawns now.. my gf likes prawns to the max.. so its like 1 arrow hitting a few bull eyes hehee..

Next food post.. Coffee Crab...

Even Lower fuel prices!!

2008-12-15T17:48:00.003+08:00

After tonight the fuel prices will be even lower than RM 1.90. Fuels price reduction due to the price reduction in the world crude oil prices.

Well its good at least the fuel price is down.. lets hope everything goes down as well include food, drinks, pampers, and even teh tarik.

Due to recent price hike in June from RM 1.92 to RM 2.70 everything shot up ski high.. but ever since the price reduction.. i don't see much in reduction on food, milk powder and other stuffs.

I think someone should write to the government to ask the traders to lower the raw materials so it benefits everyone.

Lower fuel prices??

2008-11-17T16:57:00.004+08:00

Since the global fuel price is reducing almost everyday. Wonder when will the oil price reduce. Could it be next week, next fortnight, or maybe tomorrow?

i have a feeling that it will be tomorrow. As the gov mentioned before that if the global fuel price remains stable for 2 weeks they will reduce the price again.

Golden Pomfret frenzy!!

2008-11-11T13:43:00.004+08:00

Works catching up.. time's flying fast.. so many things to do but so little time..
Almost forgotten that i actually have a blog hahaha.

Well this post is nothing much to shout about.. just that i've officially got my Pomfret license in fishing. Well i already got it the last time about a month back but its not counted cause as it is foul hooked.. this time i got it right in the mouth when it was nibbling my prawn bait away..

1st couple of hours i wasn't having any fun fishing and kinda regreted coming to fish on that day.. but soon grace was upon me and my sifu and we're hooking these Golden pomfret while it is having its frenzy.. all in all i caught 4 Golden Pomfret size ranging from 2kg - 3kg.. huge fish..
the worst thing is i had to carry my fish plus my sifu's fish along to go to the counter to check out of the fishing pond.

Its freaking heavy that's all i can say.. but the smile on my face... Joker also have to salute ahaha.
Here are the pic of the total pomfret we caught.. If we were to base on carrefour prices that is selling these fishes at RM 25 per kg.. we have about RM 350 here

My setup arsenal was

Rod : Lemax President Royal 6 feet

Reel : Ryobi Excia 4000

Line : Power pro 30lbs

Leader : 40 lbs el cheapo fisherman brand

Hooks : Maruto Circle hooks size 16

The Stubborn Cat!

2008-08-08T08:08:00.000+08:00

A couple was dressed and ready to go out into the city for the evening. They turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on the phone line, covered their pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. They phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and the couple opened the front door to leave their house. The cat they had put out into the yard scoots back into the house.

They don't want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird. The wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, the man in hot pursuit.

Waiting in the cab, the wife doesn't want the driver to know the house will be empty for the night. She explains to the taxi driver that her husband will be out soon. "He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to my Mother."

A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab.

"Sorry I took so long," he says, as they drive away. "Stupid bitch was hiding under the bed. Had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off so I grabbed her by the neck. Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me but it worked. I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!"

The cab driver hit a parked car......

Farts!!

2008-08-07T15:42:00.001+08:00

A fart can be quiet
A fart can be loud
Some leave a powerful
Poisonous cloud.

A fart might not smell
While others are vile
A fart may pass quickly
Or linger awhile.

A fart may be steamy
Or come with a leak
The more you suppress 'em
The more they will "speak."

A fart can occur
In a number of places
And leave everyone
With strange looks on their faces.

From wide-open prairies
To small elevators
A fart will find al of us
Sooner or later.

Not all farts are bad
This is simply not true
We mustn't forget
Dear sweet, old farts like you!

Job Interview

2008-07-29T19:19:00.001+08:00

Tom is applying for a job as a signalman for the local railroad, and is told to meet the inspector at the signal box.

The inspector decides to give the fishos a pop quiz, asking, "What would you do if you realized that two trains

were heading towards each other on the same track?"

Tom says, "I would switch one train to another track."

"What if the lever broke?" asks the inspector.

"I'd run down to the tracks and use the manual lever," answers Tom.

"What if that had been struck by lightning?" challenges the inspector.

"Then," Tom continues, "I'd run back up here and use the phone to call the next signal box."

"What if the phone was busy?"

"In that case," Tom argues, "I'd run to the street level and use the public phone near the station".

"What if that public phone had been vandalized?"

"Oh, well," says Tom, "in that case I'd run into town and get my Uncle Leo.

"This puzzles the inspector, so he asks, "Why would you do that?"

"Because he's never seen a train crash!"

Sex!!

2008-07-28T11:18:00.002+08:00

An 8-year-old girl went to her dad, who was working in the yard.

She asked him, "Daddy, what is sex?"

The father was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decides that if she is old enough to ask the question, then she is old enough to get a straight answer. He proceeded to tell her all about the "birds and the bees." When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open.

The father asked her, "Why did you ask this question?

" The little girl replied, "Mom told me to tell you that dinner would be ready in just a couple of secs."

Renewing road tax??

2008-07-16T14:36:00.002+08:00

Next week would be my deadline for my car road tax to expire.. how?? i have a few choices.

1) Go to post office to renew and collect my rebate RM 625 as well there and then

2) Ask my dad to renew for me but i still need to go to the post office to collect the RM 625

Then i was thinking. Lunch time is limited to 1 hour only and during lunch time post office will be packed.. hmm.. how how how??

Then i stumble upon some radio commercials talking about renewing roadtax online. (talking bout technolody nowadays). Then i remembered Nuffnang posted the adds before about applying roadtax online..

so i opted for the 3rd choice which is go online at MYEG's website and did my stuff there.. i was a lil sceptical about it as the method of payment is not convenient except for credit card.. Then i was thinking.. how long does it take for them to renew a new road tax for me. since i have a few days more before my roadtax expires.. so i still have some time to spare before my roadtax expires. Then the question comes.. How am i gonna get the Rm 625 rebate? Then i made a call to the customer service line and they mentioned that they will send it by money order to me latest in 2 weeks time.

I remembered i paid at 10am this morning (16/07/2008) and i received it just now at 2pm..

I would say thumbs up to this service as it is superb and effective.. save me the time and hassle to go all the way to post office to do..

Pro's : you could just sit down and relax.. your roadtax will be send to your doorstep

Con's : you will not be richer RM 625 for the day.. hehe

Something Interesting!!

2008-07-11T11:28:00.001+08:00

A man called Ah beng owns a farm which can produce 10 apples every day.

He has 5 workers to operate the farm.

Each of them eats 1 apple daily and it is enough to keep them operating the farm normally.

The remaining 4 apples, the landlord sells them at RM10 each and he earns RM40.

He uses the RM25 to improve the farm operation and facilities.

He gives RM2.00 to each of his workers and he keeps the remaining RM5.00 as profit.

Day by day, the farm is well developed and all of the 5 workers are happy with the money they can save.

When Ah beng passed away and there is a new landlord, Ahmad comes to continue the farm operation.

He says to the workers:

" We need to improve the farm quality and redefine our way of thinking. From now on all of you only need to pay RM1.00 for each apple you eat. It is very cheap as the price is RM10 each outside the farm."

The workers have no choice but to pay RM1.00 for the apple they eat daily. Their earning decrease from RM2.00 to M1.00 per person. As usual, Ahmad sells the 4 apples and he gets RM40. He uses RM25 for farm improvement and pays RM10 to his 5 workers. He gets RM5.00 as profit. On top of that, he gets another RM5.00 from the apples that he sells to his workers. In total, he gets RM10 as profit every day.

Soon, the apple price increases to RM20 each. The new landlord gets a higher profit as he gets RM80 for the 4 apples he sells daily. Then, he decides to give the farming improvement contract to one of his close friend, Sam.

Sam says:"Apple cost naik, improvement cost also misti naik."So, the farm improvement cost increases from RM25 to RM50. In actual fact, the improvement only cost RM30. The remaining RM20, Ahmad and Sam share evenly among themselves.

Let's calculate how much Ahmad gets daily:

RM10 (from farm improvement cost)
RM20 (Net profit by selling 4 apples:
[Gross profit, RM80] - [Improvementcost, RM50] - [Wages RM10] = RM20)
RM5 (from selling apples to his workers)

In total, Ahmad gets RM35 daily compare to RM10 initially when he takes overthe farm from Ah beng.

His profit increases RM25 and the workers are still getting RM1.00 daily perperson.

The greedy Ahmad does not want to stop there.

One day, he says to his fellow workers:" You see ah, the current market price for one apple is RM20 and you are only paying RM1. See how lucky you are! I have to SUBSIDY RM19.00 for each of the apple you buy and total I need to SUBSIDY RM95.00.

This will greatly burden the farm and we might get bankrupt if we continue like this.In order to avoid bankruptcy, I need to increase the apple price that you buy from RM1.00 to RM1.50 and I will bear the remaining RM18.50 per apple as my subsidy to you all.

"So, greedy Ahmad adds RM2.50 to his current profit and the number becomes RM37.50.

After you have read the story, I am sure you have already understood the meaning/concept of "SUBSIDY" given by the "U-no-hu"

The RM95 subsidy never existed in the first place and so was the RM52 billion fuel subsidy generously "given" by the "U-no-hu".

Cutting fuel subsidy is actually just a reason to steal money from your pocket.

Laughing at Pregnant Woman

2008-07-07T17:40:00.002+08:00

A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded a bus. When she noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling humiliated on account of her condition.
She changed her seat and he seemed more amused. She moved again and then on her fourth move he burst out laughing. She had him arrested.

The case came before the court, and when asked why he acted in such a manner, the man replied, "When the lady boarded the bus I couldn't help noticing she was pregnant. She sat under an advertisement which read, 'Coming Soon: The Gold Dust Twins.'

Then she moved under one that read, 'Sloans Liniments Remove Swelling.' I was even more amused when she sat under a shaving advertisement which read, 'William's Stick Did The Trick.' Then I could not control myself any longer when on the fourth move she sat under an advertisement which read, 'Dunlop rubbers would have prevented this accident.'"He won the case.

Jensen's Birthday Gathering

2008-07-07T11:37:00.003+08:00

This is a long Overdued post. We celebrated Jensen's birthday in Zen Japanese Restaurant in Pyramid on 28/06/2008.

This is what Jensen had for his birthday dinner hahaha..

There is actually an incident whereby the softshell crab came soft.. meaning that its not crunchy at all.. its soft and soggy. So our Taiko Jensen had to ask the waiter to come. The waiter quoted to him. ..

"sorry sir.. all the soft shell crab is soft or one of it?"

What a question.. if we would've tasted and see which is soft and which is hard the whole plate of softshell crab would be missing isn't it? This one quoted from my gf.

The thing is they're not proactive in changing it.. they'll ask you whats wrong and why you want to change and silly questions and debates around.

The Tofu that we had.. Agedishi Tofu..

Mabel holding the pickle and some other vege

Alice and Grace posing but the waiter's hand had to come into the pic.. sigh

This is what i had..close up shot of the Unagi

nice Unagi set which comes with sashimi.. yum yums!

Close shot of the sashimi.. i remember salmon, Tuna and something else which i forgot hahha..

Sealion Part 2

2008-06-30T11:12:00.003+08:00

Decided to pay a visit to the pond since we had a productive time previously.. They've changed the water for the pond because about 1 week already and it was drizzling when i was on my way there at about 8pm from sifu's place.
Reached and proceeded to get ready with our gears and check in at 8.20pm.. lots of people checking out empty handed.. i counted about 4 anglers coming out empty handed.. looks like fish is not biting.. i told my sifu.. "how.. fish not biting" he said "Since we're here.. check in only la"

Okie lor.. checked in and used my newly bought lemax President Royal 6 feet 8-17lbs test rod for the opening ceremony..

Rod : Lemax President Royal 6 feet
Reel : Ryobi Excia 4000
Line : Power Pro 30lbs
Leader : 50lbs Berkley Varnish flurocarbon leader
Hook : Kantuki Chinu size 1
Weight : size 2 1/2 sliding sinker.

After a few cast.. still no bites.. look around the pond and observed not much action around the pond. Then a guy beside me landed a Mangrove Jack on the float setup.. i looked at his catch and wonder to myself.. why no fish bite my line one? Just as i finish having the thought i reeled in my line little but little and it got stuck to something, lift up my rod and my rod bend into a "U" shape and line stripping out from my reel and reel screaming.. a hook up.. the fight fought very hard and after that the next trouble is we didn't bring a landing net.. so its kinda hard to land without a landing net.. then my sifu bend down and pull up the fish for me.. ahhh.. sigh of relief.. hehe..

A nice Mangrove Jack size 1.3kg .. didn't took the pic of the fish at that time cause hands is dirty from the baits and saltwater..

Then coming into the 2nd hour.. a few fishes landed here and there and i saw people using dead baits (kembong, selar, dead prawns) and scoring. Then i changed to a dead prawn and cast as far as i can possibly reach to the sangkar (fish net) and it landed below the fish net hehehe.. smiling as the cast is very good and waited.. as i waited and waited.. no bites and its already 1 1/2 hours through the fishing time d.. then as i was talking to my sifu i said "how come no fish bite my bait one.. "hhehe.. true enough as i pull in the line to check, the fish also pulled hehehe.. after some fight.. landed a 1.5kg Golden Snapper..

Overall i would say this is a very Good opening ceremony trip for my new 6ft Lemax President Rod.

The ever so strong Ang Cho (Golden Snapper)

Total Catches for 3 hours

Golden Snapper 1.5kg and 1.6 kg and Mangrove Jack 1.3 kg.

Jamaican Interview

2008-06-27T13:08:00.003+08:00

A Jamaican man wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math test. Here is your first question, the foreman said, "Without using numbers, represent the number 9." "Without numbers?" The Jamaican says, "Dat is easy." And proceeds to draw three trees.

"What's this?" the boss asks

"Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine," says the Jamaican.

"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99."

The Jamaican stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. "Ere you go."

The boss scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?"

"Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99.

" The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this Jamaican, so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100."

The Jamaican stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere you go. One hundred."

The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!" The Jamaican leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and says, "A little dog come along and crap by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which makes one hundred." "So, when I start?"

Fishing in Sealion on 21/06/2008

2008-06-23T10:37:00.005+08:00

On my way to sealion at about 2.50 pm from my sifu's place in klang.. it rained super heavily.. so heavy that i hardly can see the road.. but lights were on and container lorries paving the way through the puddles of water on the road. Arrived at sealion at about 3pm. Bought baits, checked in and it was drizzling still.. went to the booth that don't have people and "park" there. Lines cast everywhere but no bites registered.

About 1 hour later.. also no bites as i've shifted places about 3 - 4 times.. tried all kinds of method.. casting, bottom and mid water.. but still no bites.. but there is a particular corner which is registering bites non stop.. but there are about 10 anglers there.. typical pasar malam situation when bites and fish landed.

Didn't produce any results as well until my sifu saw his friend.. he took my sifu's rod and he tested and tried a few places.. finally the pasar malam crowd subsided and there is a lil room to fish there.. learned a few methods by observing but i still didn't get any bites.. he got a 1st fish after about 15 minutes locating the fishes.. the next fish up in 10 minutes.. i was thinking.. damn this guy is damn good.. (heard from the people there that the boss actually pay him RM 50 so he would not fish) he's damn good.. total he fished for us for about 2 hours.. 8 hook ups.. 5 landed and 3 escaped (due to jealous ppl.. line sangkut... let go line la.. still wanna fight and though it was him that kena fish.. typical kiasu ma chan's there) 1 hook straightened and the other leader snapped..

For me still no bited yet after he registered his 3rd fish.. then his friend took my rod and tested for me.. took some dead prawns and in 15 minutes.. he registered a nibble.. after that.. he striked hard and it put my lemax black panther 6 feet rod and reel to the ultimate test.. the rod bend like a "U" shape and reel drag locked as he reel the fish in.. landed a Mangrove Jack about 1.5 kg..

This ordeal repeated for 2 more times and it was time for them to go off.. passed the rod back to me and my sifu.. time shows that fishing is already at about 3 1/2 hours and left us with 30 minutes to try and learn his method.. During this time.. i didn't realised that my drag was locked.. i registered a bite and i waited for about 3 seconds and i gave a hard jerk.. hook up but not landed.. fish lost due to hook up too early and fish lost while struggling to get free.. tried again after 10 minutes and a bite is detected and allow the fish some time to enjoy the fresh prawn on the end of the hook and saw my line moving.. a sign of fish swollowed and strike.. hook up and landed a 2kg ang cho.. all in all its a fun learning time.. the best part is .. fishes landed is with our rod, reel, line, leader, hooks, sinker and prawns.. all ours.. just the skill from them.. so proven that rod and reel is fine only our skill is not up to par..

so back to the drawing board.. have to learn to cast to the designated spot with light baits on the end of the line.. learn timing to retrieve the line.. when bites registered.. dun "kan cheong" and wait.. the longer you wait.. the higher the chances of hook up cause the fill will swollow the hook by then..

strong leader and a good rod about 7 feet with long but for fighting power and fish handling is required.. the power comes from the forearm when handling the fish.. not the wrist.. i've learn alot during this outing and it was wet (raining) fun (scooping the fish with net) and experience.. never before i brought fish as we were walking out to the counter everybody that was fishing there jaw dropped as i was holding 9 fish at the end of the lines...

What a fun experience..

Divorce??

2008-06-18T09:15:00.000+08:00

An elderly man in Miami calls his son in New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams.

"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and he hangs up.

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone, "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls her father immediately and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced! Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME!?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "They're coming for Christmas and paying their own airfares."

The hunter

2008-06-13T17:02:00.000+08:00

Johnny went hunting one day in Ontario and bagged three ducks. He put them in the bed of his pickup truck and was about to drive home when he was confronted by an ornery game warden who didn't like smart kids.
The game warden ordered Johnny to show his hunting license, and Johnny pulled out a valid Ontario hunting license. The game warden looked at the license, then reached over and picked up one of the ducks, sniffed its butt, and said, "This duck ain't from Ontario. This is a Quebec duck. You got a Quebec huntin' license, boy?"

Then Johnny reached into his wallet and produced a Quebec hunting license.

The game warden looked at it, then reached over and grabbed the second duck, sniffed its butt, and said "This ain't Quebec duck. This duck's from Manitoba. You got a Manitoba license?"

Johnny reached into his wallet and produced a Manitoba hunting license.

The warden then reached over and picked up the third duck, sniffed its butt, and said, "This ain't Manitoba duck. This duck is from Nova Scotia. You got a Nova Scotia huntin' license?"

Again the kid reached into his wallet and brought out a Nova Scotia hunting license. The game warden was extremely frustrated at this point, and he yelled at Johnny "Just where the hell are you from?"

Johnny smiled turned around, bent over, dropped his pants, and said,

"You tell me, you're the expert..."

Smart Boy named Timmy

2008-06-13T10:06:00.000+08:00

There was a little boy named Timmy who used to hang out at the local corner market. The owner didn't know what Timmy's problem was, but the boys would constantly tease him. They would always comment that he was two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they would offer Timmy his choice between a nickel (5 cents) and a dime (10 cents) and Timmy would always take the nickel ... they said, because it was bigger.

One day after Little Timmy grabbed the nickel, the store owner took him aside and said "Timmy, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?"

Slowly, Little Timmy turned toward the store owner and a big grin appeared on his face and he said, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I have saved $20!"

Hardest Language!!

2008-06-13T10:00:00.000+08:00

English has to be one of the hardest languages to understand. Read the paragraph below and try to understand the meaning.
Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.

In plain English what does this translate to?

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after!

Drunk!!

2008-06-12T17:05:00.000+08:00

A man went into a bar and ordered several shots of vodka. By the time the bar was closing, he was wasted.
He got up to leave and fell flat on his face. "Well, I don't want the bartender to think I'm drunk, so I'll pretend I tripped and I'll try it again." So he gets up and falls on his face.

"Well, the door's not too far away; I'll just crawl." When he gets outside he thinks, "Well, I only live 4 blocks away; I can make it that far." So he stands up and falls on his face.

He decides he'll try it one block at a time, and at every block he falls flat on his face. Finally he makes it home, stands up and falls on the bed. In the morning his wife wakes him up.

"You were drunk again last night, weren't you?"

"How did you know?"

"The bartender called. He said you left your wheelchair at the bar."

3 man's speech

2008-06-12T14:00:00.000+08:00

Three top pro speakers from different countries were invited to give a talk to a
Deaf Society.

An Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman are all to give speaches to the Deaf Society. All are keen to make an impression on their audience.

The Englishman goes first and to the surprise of his colleagues starts by rubbing first his chest and then his groin. When he finishes the Scotsman and Irishman ask him what he was doing.

Well" he explained" By rubbing my chest I indicated breasts and thus Ladies and by rubbing my groin I indicated balls and thus Gentlemen. So my speech started Ladies and Gentlemen".

On his way up to the podium the Scotsman thought to himself I'll go one better than that English angel and started his speech by making an antler symbol with his fingers above his head before also rubbing his chest and his groin.

When he finished his colleagues asked what he was doing. "Well" he explained" By imitating antlers and then rubbing my chest and groin I was starting my speech by saying Dear Ladies and Gentlemen".

On his way up to the podium the Irishman thought to himself I'll go one further than those mainland angels and started his speech by making an antler symbol above his head, rubbing his chest, and then his groin, and then masturbating furiously.

When he finished his colleagues asked him what he was doing. "Well" he explained," by imitating antlers, rubbing my chest and then my groin and then masturbating I was starting my speech by saying -
Deer Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure......."

Cork or fate?

2008-06-11T15:00:00.000+08:00

One day in the locker room, Bob sees a fat man with a cork in his ass. Curious, he asks the man how it got there.

"Well," says the man, "I was walking along the beach when I tripped over a lamp. There was a puff of smoke and this great big guy in a turban came oozing out, saying, 'I am a genie. I can grant you one wish.' And I said, 'No shit!'"

One Briliant Kid!

2008-06-11T10:01:00.001+08:00

A Duke was hunting in the forest with his men-at-arms and servants when he came across a tree. Upon it, archery targets were painted and smack in the middle of each was an arrow.

"Who is this incredibly fine archer?" cried the duke. "I must find him!"

After continuing through the forest for a few miles he came across a small boy carrying a bow and arrow. Eventually the boy admitted that it was he who shot the arrows plumb in the center of all the targets.

"You didn't just walk up to the targets and hammer the arrows into the
middle, did you?" asked the duke worriedly.

"No my lord. I shot them from a hundred paces. I swear it by all that I hold holy."

"That is truly astonishing," said the duke. "I hereby admit you into my service." The boy thanked him profusely.

"But I must ask one favor in return," the duke continued.
"You must tell me how you came to be such an outstanding shot."

"Well," said the boy, "first I fire the arrow at the tree...
...and then I paint the target around it."

That is what i call think outside the box

Petrol Kiosk Jam

2008-06-05T15:09:00.003+08:00

Yesterday 04/06/08 was a nightmare for everyone. The super heavy downpour plus the price hike news and not forgetting the after office hours cause massive jam in all major roads.

I left office at about 6.30 cause it was raining heavily and left when it was still drizzling, saw line and lines of cars jammed near my house but i thought its because of the new traffic lights they build ealier this year. After getting close to the bottle neck of the jam here's what i saw.

it looks as if the petrol kiosk is giving free fuel where everyone is lining up to get their share.. but no.. its because its announced that the fuel price will hike up RM 0.78 cents per litre. its extra about RM39 bucks for a full tank car for 50 litres fuel tank capacity car.

Went over to the western food in ss3 near the Shell station and just took a random photo of the traffic situation.. still chaotic man..

well this is just the beginning.. with the rise of fuel price.. there will be rise in every single thing in our everyday life except for one thing.. our SALARY!!

How i wish that the company will also increase my salary RM 0.50 per every ringgit im earning.. that would be great.

Experienced

2008-06-05T14:00:00.000+08:00

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle (Cuddles) along for company.

One day the poodle starts chasing Butterflies and before long Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here"?

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!" says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!

Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says.

"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!

Moral of this story...

Don't mess with old farts...age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullsh!t and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Petrol Price Hike!!

2008-06-04T17:33:00.004+08:00

Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.

Every day 200 million couples make love, 400,000 babies are born, and 140,000 people die. Human hair and fingernails continue to grow after death.

In most watch advertisements the time displayed on the watch is 10:10 because then the arms frame the brand of the watch (and make it look like it is smiling).

Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

The sound you hear when you crack your knuckles is actually the sound of nitrogen gas bubbles bursting.

The average person who stops smoking requires one hour less sleep a night.

The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear.

The color blue has a calming effect. It causes the brain to release calming hormones.

Every time you sneeze some of your brain cells die.

It takes about 20 seconds for a red blood cell to circle the whole body.

The only part of the body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye. It takes in oxygen directly from the air.

Do you know the names of the three wise monkeys? They are:Mizaru(See no evil), Mikazaru(Hear no evil), and Iwazaru(Speak no evil).

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural cause.

Untiring Love!!

2008-06-03T15:59:00.000+08:00

This is a true story that happened in Japan.

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tore open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, felt pity, and at the same time he was curious. When he checked the nail, turns out, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.

What happened?

The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it had been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came, appeared another lizard, with food in its mouth.

Ahh! He was stunned and at the same time, touched deeply. Another lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years...

Such love, such a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature...

What can love do?

It can do wonders!

Love can do miracles!

Just think about it; one lizard had been feeding the other one
untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.

If a small creature like a lizard can love like this... just imagine how we can love if we try.

Accident!!

2008-06-03T09:23:00.003+08:00

Well.. on 30/05/2008 woke up at about 8.40.. prepared myself and left house for work that starts at 9am.. at the traffic lights just opposite Western Digital factory the traffic light was red. I stopped beside the motorist and waited patiently fot the lights to turn green. As the lights turn green i accelerate and move and as i reach the cornering which i usually turn without a problem.. This time to my horror..

I saw something on the road.. an element that is feared by all motorcyclist.. water... but to me it seems like a mixture of some other stuff.. dunno what.. its looks a lil brown but with some water at the side.. not much.. but enough to cause me my bad experience..

As i turn and when i saw the water on the road.. i don't even have the time to think.. when i realise my front tyre of my scooter is already slipping or drifting and when i tried to negotiate the corner i hit the curb.. if the road was a lil bigger i'm sure i can negotiate or even slow down even more.. i wasn't travelling fast at all.. Max also 15km/h cause right after the traffic lights there is the corner about 5 metres away..

My bike hit the curb.. and i fell on my right side.. funny thing is... my right shoulder got scrapped on the floor my left hand and left elbow and not forgeting my right cheeck bone and right chin.. it wasn't a nice experience.. but thank God i only had minor injuries and its healing fast.

This had something to do with my snooker lost..as my right wrist is swollen.. my movements is slightly restricted and lack of strength.. so.. but anyway.. i'll be back!!

*Warning.. if you cannot stand to see the sight of gory blood injuries.. please do not proceed.

Snooker Outcome!!

2008-06-02T09:35:00.002+08:00

On Sat 31/05/2008 i joined a inhouse snooker tournament in World Snooker Centre near the KDU college.. i lost the 1st round itself.. didn't had the mood to go on as the place was full of smoke.. hard to breathe.. plus i foul about 15 times (12 yum sui, 3 black yum sui) .. it was a bad sight to see and not a good game i've played actually..

But whatever it is i enjoyed the game as i played very well in first 2games.

i wouldn't say that the place i joined the competition manage to fully test my snooker level as the tables there are not international standards (table cloth not iron often, diff table with different heights, some table with all 6 different pocket size.) the list goes on and on and on.. but then again.. i still lost..

My next post will have much that contributed to this loss..

Preparation before Snooker competition!

2008-05-28T16:17:00.003+08:00

What are the preparation you need before going for a competition?

Well the tips that i manage to gather and remembered when i 1st joined my 1st every snooker competition in Snooker Arena.. hmm maybe in year 2003 or something.

1)Get enough rest the day before so you can focus better mentally and also physically
2)Do not overeat cause it will leave you bloated and it affects you cause you will need to bend while cueing and that affects your performance
3)Practise at the club that you're playing and try to get use to the table there cause every snooker club's table and cloth is different
4)Practise often and play from memory.
5)Do not underestimate your opponent.
6)Play safe when you're not confident in the shot you're making
7)Do not be overconfident over and easy shot. Many people lost because of this mistake.
8)Be calm and don't be nervous as it will tense you up

This is the tips i can remember and learn and it does affect your game play during the competition.

For me no one thought me the proper basic of snooker and what to do and what not. But i learn mostly from observation. Be it from youtube, real life or even on Astro.

Snooker Competition Coming Up!!

2008-05-27T17:21:00.003+08:00

Well.. this is confirmed.. unless the snooker centre call the snooker competition off..

I will be playing in World Snooker Centre.. don't be deceived by the name.. its not world class nor super big snooker centre.. just a small 2nd floor shoplot snooker centre. But i've been wanting to join a competition to challenge myself and see my own limits..

For me snooker is like a lifetime never ending learning game.. i realised that i have this kinda hobby like fishing and snooker.. both also you can't finish learning one.. the thing is.. this hobby involves a tool.. fishing .. a fishing rod.. snooker ... a snooker cue.. so i find this kinda hobbies rather very challenging..

So these few days i will be doing some "revision" and it feels like you're going for exams.. to test your limits..

I happen to stumble upon some websites to improve myself.. what to do.. cannot afford to pay tuition fees so i have to learn myself lor..

1) Learning from youtube.. see the video's played by the top ranking players in the world
2) learning from websites.. www.fcsnooker.com, http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~dga/pool/normal_videos/index.html
www.maximumbreak.com

Then it comes to practical lessons where i play with my friends and get use to the tables..

Wish my all the best this weekend.. ;)

Poem on Farts!

2008-05-26T17:28:00.000+08:00

A fart can be quiet
A fart can be loud
Some leave a powerful
Poisonous cloud.

A fart might not smell
While others are vile
A fart may pass quickly
Or linger awhile.

A fart may be steamy
Or come with a leak
The more you suppress 'em
The more they will "speak."

A fart can occur
In a number of places
And leave everyone
With strange looks on their faces.

>From wide-open prairies
To small elevators
A fart will find al of us
Sooner or later.

Not all farts are bad
This is simply not true
We mustn't forget
Dear sweet, old farts like you!

$20 dollar Bill - Insprirational

2008-05-23T18:39:00.000+08:00

The $20.00 Bill

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.

In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20."

"Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him."

THOUGHT: The worth of our lives come not in what we do or who we are but by WHOSE WE ARE! You are special - Don't ever forget it! null where do you want to go next!

a nice view of water going between 2 islands..

There is a huge rock beneathe the sea.. the waves crash upon it in circles

then later we were brought to a place where we took our life jacket and proceeded in a small bus to the shore to take the speedboat to the Coral Island.. its too commercialised.. people playing banana boat.. playing parasailing.. everything is on that island.. so the water is not as clear as redang..

just a few pics.. for day 2.. will post more about it when i finish compiling the photo's from my colleagues.

A quick briefing before we board on the speedboat
The speedboat that we took
the view from the front of the speedboat
The water is clear but not as clear as redang's

will continue day 2 holiday with more photo's .... to be continued... Phuket - day 2

Dinner.. 21st May

2008-05-22T11:56:00.004+08:00

Well.. just a short updates before i continue with the yesterday's blog on my phuket trip..

i still need to collect some of the photo's from my colleagues cam cause i didn't take much photo's on the 2nd day.. camera phone went flat.. one thing i realise..when ever you go travelling always check their power supply and also the socket.. i brough the 3pin charger and it wont fit.. i should've brought my 2pin charger there and then i would have alot more photo's taken.. darn..

The Fish fillet cooked in bihun

Cheng Lung Choi (Green Dragon Vege)
Frankly speaking i've not eaten this vege.. its highly recommended by the manager there and i trust him for his taste.. very nice i'd say but my gf dun like it.. it may taste a lil like spring onion but anyway.. nice vege..

Phuket Trip - Day 1 continuation

2008-05-21T10:10:00.010+08:00

Continuation of day one here..

After finding my colleagues we walked through the busy streets of Bangla road.. met them at the end of the road and turn right.. well this place is like a big square.. just walk to the end turn right and do that again in another 700 metres and turn right and eventually you will come back to the hotel.. we saw shops selling board shorts.. underwears everywhere.. like calvin klien.. billabong.. T-shirts.. and polo T cost only RM 15 after negotiating the price with them..there are also alot of coat/suit making shops..

Then we crossed the road and saw something like Al-ikshan shop here in malaysia.. they sell everything.. (psst... we only went in cause its cooling and check out the price difference) hahaha Then we saw Mcd and the Ronald Statue here is fatter with the hands welcoming you.. most of the meals cost about 150 baht. Then we passed by some massage parlours.. hmm looks like its operated by ladyboys cause they're quite manly looking,... After walking around tired and thristy and hot.. we went to 7-Eleven.. stuff's quite cheap.. i got my bottle of coke for 10 baht..

this is the RM 1 The coke that i drank On the way there are seafood restaurants everywhere.. some of their seafood Tiger Prawns Frozen lobsters Look at the size of the Frozen Lobsters.. Then we walked back to the nearby our hotel and saw some lady boy show

After that.. .we headed back to the hotel.. some went for massage, some went for tattoo some went for foot massage.. i went for a 2 hour thai massage.. which cost me RM 50 .. kinda cheap but i heard that Bangkok is cheaper. One thing for sure.. they're never to stingy with their oil.. they practically flood me with the massage oil.. but it was a good rub and after that we met the other guys which we seperated earlier..

One of my colleague made friends with the Massage lady and they went out for supper.. we just had a drink and get to know her better and she offered to bring us out the next day with her modified Vios.... then we headed back to the hotel to sleep at about 3am.. slept at 3.30am after my shower and ... day 2 begins..

Phuket Trip - Day 1

2008-05-20T10:26:00.007+08:00

On the day before my flight.. it was so hot.. packed my stuff and i really did travel light.. very light indeed.. the lightest i packed ever.. i was thinking of buying some pants and t shirts over there but then.. didn't have the time or didn't have the designs i wanted or the price is not suitable.

Just some pics taken inside the plane..

2 islands in the middle of the sea
The nasi lemak and green tea cost RM 10 on air asia flight
As soon as we touch down in Phuket Airport at 4.40pm local time.. we took our baggage and stuff and walked out to our Thai tour agent.. but before that .. they will give you a welcome gift.. its a necklace but not the flower type but instead its made out of sea shells.. and there is a pratty thai lady to take the pic with you.. i didn't buy the pic back cause it cost me 300 baht for 3 pics.. well one thing i realise that they love taking pics and selling it to you..

After that we were brought to this Cashew nut factory.. i didn't know that cashew nut is actually from a tree that looks like apple..

here is the pic of the Cashew nut tree

This is what the nut looks like
They'll have to crack this nut with this special human operated machine
The end product--- the cashew nut

After that factory.. we were brought to the Tshirt factory.. where most of the T-shirts in phuket are distributed from here.

Tshirt factory briefing...
the overview of the shop
This is the T-shirt i wanted to get but no stock .. sigh..
The shoplot infront of my hotel.. alot of massage parlours
Night view of the hotel from my balcony

after checking into my room.. i had to rush down for dinner cause heard that the buffet dinner ends at 8pm but that time its already 7.15pm.. had my dinner and went back to hotel to shower.. after shower.. my colleagues already out in the streets wondering around.. for me.. i came down and rush out of the hotel.. cross the small pathway and saw this guy and ask me.. "Hi sir.. you want me to massage for you"

i was like.. nooo.. and i walked off.. just to let you know.. the shoplots about 10 seconds walk away from my hotel is all gay area.. gay bar.. or maybe gigolo's are there looking for customers.

i walked off and reached to a busy street .. where people selling things on the 5 foot walkway and opposite it is the seafood restaurant.. plenty of it..

i took a right turn and saw come of my femal colleagues.. walk about 10 minutes .. still no sign of them..
turn back and walk the other way round.. well this side of phuket becomes alive when the skies get dark.. you see pubs, bars, agogo's bar (girl dressed in skimpy clothing dancing on the bar counter holding to a pole) .. then i turn right to Bangla road.. this street is full of pubs, disco's bars, ladyboys.. massage girls.. the whole street pratically and you can see alot of Ang mo's here.

to be continued...Part 2 of Phuket holiday

Careful with what you ask for!

2008-05-16T16:24:00.000+08:00

A man left for work one Friday afternoon. But, since it was payday, instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire paycheck.

When he finally appeared at home Sunday night, he was confronted by a very angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions.

Finally his wife stopped the nagging and simply said to him. “How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?”

To which he replied. “That would be fine with me.”

Monday went by and he didn’t see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results. Come Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

1 more day!!

2008-05-16T10:27:00.002+08:00

Hmm.. 1 more day and in exactly 24 hours away i will be somewhere eating my breakfast and chatting away with my colleague.. We should be departing by Skybus to LCCT to check in and wait for our flight to phuket at 3.30pm..

There is so much feeling inside of me thinking ..
what is thailand like.. cause seeing the pics you wouldn't get to see everything.. you'll only get to see bits and pieces of the big puzzle that is still out there.

Language Barrier??
Hopefully some locals there speak english or maybe some hokkien.. i do know some broken hokkien.. so maybe i could communicate with them and see if i can bargain for the stuff that if i find it attractive to bring it back..

Ladyboys... Hmm in malaysia we call it transvestites or (akua).. hmm.. i asked for oppinions from my friends .. hmm what to do in thailand leh... u know answers that i get.. Please read the statements below

Jensen : go touch the gay men la..
Kim : go touch the akua there..

i was like .. what kind of suggestion is that.. touch the gay men and touch the ladyboys there.. and then i was like.. touch where.. they were like at their "breast" la.. its not real one anyway.. this statement comes from Jensen himself.. i dunno if he touch a real one before or not.. but anyway.. thats what i got from him yesterday.. ermm.. more like this morning at Ming Tin Food court.

I was more interested in their water sports like their parasailing, banana boat, watching the sunset on a different part of the world.

anyway.. will post more when i get back with PICTURES!! hehehe.

Monday 12th May..

2008-05-15T10:00:00.000+08:00

Last Monday was a holiday for me.. As usual.. i'll bug my sifu (mentor) in klang for some breakfast.. fishing.. prawning and some dinner..

When i reached klang in the morning around 9.30.. i received a call from him asking "eh..where are you now.. the prawns can wait to get into hot soup" kinda comments.. this is a super funny guy.. i'll tell you more in a bit..

Well this sifu of mine.. i've learn some tricks and tips from him.. he's never stingy with his advices.. and not forgetting FOOD!!.. He really knows how to torture people asking him for more of his good food..

I had.. steam chicken with his special ginger sauce baked in tong guai (some chinese herb)1 pcs of tiger prawns also baked in the same manner to test the product whether it goes well with tiger prawns.. (sorry no pics for this meal.. simply to irresistable and only realise i forgot my camera half way thru eating it)

Sambal petai cooked with tiger prawns.. and not forgetting the tiger prawns mee hun kuey.. this is what i had for breakfast.. kau kau.. this is what i call a heavy breakfast.. but sorry la.. only 2 pics..
Mee Hun Kuey.. RM 3.30 per bowl.. (prawns not inclusive ar)
Tiger prawns sambal petai

After that we went fishing.. ermmm.. more like chair rental cause we paid RM 30 but didn't catch anything apart from some small fishes.. my sifu commented and look at the water gate.. mind you that there is alot of plastic and some rubbish around this water gate.. usually it clears when its super high tide when its fast moving waters.. not alof of rubbish but according to my sifu he commented..
" Hey i think the fishes are on leave like you la.. thats whay they're not bitting.. or either they're confuse and can't see our bait cause there's rubbish around.. so the fish eyes also cannot see cause rubbish blocking.."

i burst our laughing and almost ROFLMAO.....

then after that went to Bukit Tinggi in klang for some bill payments and had our lunch.. muttun varuval with roti canai.. and 1 coconut to cool your body and a nice cup of Limau Ice to quench your thirst.

We proceed to tiger prawning after that and i caught 1 kg for 4 hours and my sifu caught 1.8kg himself.. truly a sifu.. i salute him .. heheh..

Something Interesting!!

2008-05-10T09:11:00.005+08:00

A group of us had supper last night to plan on the activities that we're gonna have today.. ask usual we'll talk about everything during the eating session and after that we chat about almost everything and debated about everything.. The usual person who always kena tembak (got shot) is always JUSTUS..

before i proceed with what I shot him about.. a simple pics of what we had yesterday.
La Yau (butter style)Sotong
Sing Chau Mai (Singapore Bihun)

Okie .. we all had Stir fried Hong Kong Kai Lan, Kam Heong fried rice, Stir Fried potato leaves, Thai style taufu, Sing Chau Mai.

Sorry no pics for the other foods as when i remembered to take pics of it.. half plate gone already.. So i only manage to savour 2 of the pics above before its gone.

The thing that we're talking about yesterday led from one thing to another until it eventually came to the topic foreskin.. Justus was mentioning about him looking at someone's pee pee 10 years ago and commented that the pee actually splits then and after 10 years it remains the same.. Then he also said that the foreskin is to cover the hole.. which he's mentioning about the urethra.. I can't stand it anymore so i just tembak him and said.. Eh.. justus... your foreskin cover the hole only and not the head one ar? everyone burst out laughing. Damn man.. this is what happen when he talks faster than he can think .. Muahahaha.. thinking about it also i feel like ROFLMAO

Okie back to the topics.. today in the afternoon we'll be going for PRAWNING in klang. And after that we'll be going to Klang as well to have dinner with our fresh catches.. crabs that justus is gonna buy to cook as well tonight.. Just thinking about it gets my mouth salivating..

Will post the pics about the activities that we're gonna do today later..

PHUKET...

In exactly 1 week from now at about this time (10:08am) i should be eating breakfast with my colleague in KL Central before heading to LCCT for our flight to PHUKET, Thailand.
Heard so much about it but haven't been there before.. hope i could bring back more pics to blog about..

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Another thing interesting is that i stumbled upon this site for the Earthquake reports around the world. I got this details from the World Wide Earthquake Locator. I've never seen something so detailed and this site shows everything from the depth of the earquake.. the magnitude and also the time and location of it.

Just a preview about these info and the rest you could click on the link to have a look for yourself.

Its something that shows the quakes that happen everyday around the world.

Fly By MAS or AirAsia

2008-05-09T12:20:00.003+08:00

Well.. if you would like to go on a Holiday.. would you fly with MAS or AirAsia?

Since MAS is offering Rm 0 for the tickets for Local Flights (tax not included) its still cost slightly higher compared to AirAsia.. for example i check out MAS website (booking from 5/05/08 - 19/05/08) or by AirAsia with the new promotion even lower than RM 0.. This is price war between 2 carriers.. Airasia's website even show us the easy calculations on the both promotion doing by these 2 carriers.

So which one would you choose?
AirAsia or Mas?

The difference that i may come out is based solely on my own opinion
AirAsia
Have travelled 2 times.. (Terengganu and Langkawi), my flights for Terengganu was perfect.. no delay at all and everything was on time.. plus i got it for a very good deal.. Thanks to Airasia. But to my dismay for langkawi trip my flight was delayed for 5 hours.. damn.. got nothing to do in LCCT one wor..

Transportation to LCCT.. you could choose to self drive or take shuttle bus which is available in alot of places.. to name a few.. Jln Ipoh.. and KL Central.. other than that i'm not sure..

AIRBUS - according to Airasia's billboards they're flying by airbus all the way now. Its either the smaller or bigger airbus that's all..

Food - by AirAsia.. everything you will need to pay.. from drinks to food.. but at the end of the day you'll save about Rm 20 based on my calculation for the flight that i surveyed.

Map to KLIA / LCCT toll free from k-director.com

Here's a Map to KLIA/LCCT toll free

Here is a Map to LCCT

***************************************

MAS
Also have travelled 2 times (1 hongkong 1 Kuantan)
I can say i'm pretty satisfied with the service.. though they have about 10 - 15 minutes delay..(still better than 5 hours)

Transportation to KLIA
You can opt for a few methods to go to KLIA.. you could take the KLIA Express from KL Central all the way to KLIA in only about 28 minutes non stop to KLIA. The fares would be - Rm 35 for Adults single journey.. You could take a cab if you're sharing with a few people.

Planes - MAS is still flying with their Boeing planes

Food - For MAS everything is paid for.. fruit juices.. beer.. salted grounduts or meals if you're travelling on long flights.

Verdict.. would you like to save RM 20 but pay more on board with AirAsia (that is if you're buying their food) or pay more for transportation to KLIA.. its still your decision..But this promotion from MAS have just started and we won't know if it will be on going like AirAsia's one.

Food Fiesta

2008-05-08T09:18:00.007+08:00

On 7th May 2008 we had a FTT (Fishing Teh Tarik)at a local restaurant in SS3 called SAM YOU. The dinner is set at about 7.30pm - 8pm. As i arrive slightly after 7.30pm because i need to thaw the prawns and fish.. so when i arrived there..most of them with their salivating faces sitting down chatting away while waiting for the rest to come. At that time Unker,Untie, Sweet, Rorytate, Qiw, Ipodluvya and Rapala is already there with me and Mabel just arrived the restaurant with the raw fish to be cooked.

Showed everyone the size of the talapia and was called by the Boss to show him as well and pass everything to the kitchen to scale the fish and clean the tiger prawns.

Sat down had some drinks and was called to the counter to order. One thing i like this restaurant is that, you do not have to worry about what to order.. The boss there with his super PR skills can recommend anything and the dish will turn out well. So i placed the order for the dishes to be cooked.. but he only cook after everyone arrived.. we were dead hungry and PK arrived about 8.30 together with his gf.

I've ordered the following dishes and you can see the pic for yourself below this post.
1)Stirfry Lai Pak
2)Big Mama Talapia cooked in Butter style
3)Steam Fish topped with Ginger
4)Hamdan Crab
5)Kam Heong Crab
6)Toman Fillet cook with Bihun (specialty) (sorry no pics as well)
7)In house Chicken Specialty dish (sorry no pics)

As we're too hungry after the food arrived immidiately we attacked and chomp down the food and then only i realise that i missed some of the photo's. Damn..

Okie la.. don't want to bored you guys with the long posting.. i'll let the pic do the talking.

*WARNING!!!. Please do not look at the pics with a hungry tummy!

The Talapia.. look at the size

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.

What would you do? Draw out every cent? Of course !! Each of us has such a bank.

It's name is TIME.

Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.

Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.

It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.

Each day it opens a new account for you.

Each night it burns the remains of the day.

If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.

There is no going back.

there is no drawing against the "tomorrow".

You must live in the present on today's deposits.

Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!

The clock is running.

Make the most of today!!!

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.

To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a pre-mature baby.

To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.

To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.

To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.

Time waits for no one.

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is mystery
Today is a gift
That's why its called the present....

We so often neglect to show our friends our much we care.

Seafood dinner

2008-05-07T09:42:00.002+08:00

Technorati Profile

Tonight i'll be having some seafood dinner with a group of fishing friends from LYN.(Lowyat Network) i'll snap some raw materials of the foods and the after effect after its cook by the chefs in a local restaurant nearby my home..

Will post the Pics later as i'm not accessible to any of the material now.

Hopefully that everyone in the list turns out for this fun gathering TT session.

Holiday .. Hmm..

2008-05-06T11:22:00.008+08:00

I would like to go on a holiday with a group of friends.. to sit down .. chill and relax by the beach listening to the sounds of the waves.. Enjoying the sea breeze as i lay on the hammock.. (provided it don't give way) At the moment, i have a few destinations in mind..

Pulau Redang..

The island which i've been there about 3 years ago.. the experience is wonderful.. i would say that the group that you go with plays an important role about your holiday experience in the places.. i have a friend that does not like Fishing at all.. never tried fishing.. but after going on a boat with us for a short 1 hour fishing trip provided by the resort.. he asked us the next day.. hey when is the next time you going out fishing.. lets go.. hahah.. i think he got bitten by the fishing bug already ..

The fishes that we caught

This is one of the dive centre in Redang where you can obtain your diving license here

Look at the colour of the sea.. different shades of blue

I don't actually mind going to redang again.. as the experience is fun.. visiting the marine park.. feeding the fishes.. going fishing everyday after 2 nautical miles of the island.. go snorkling everyday just outside the resort.. (there is a shark reef here.. you can see some baby black tip sharks here too)

I'm open for any suggestions to some holiday.. but i don't mind all expense paid to these places

Maldives
Bora Bora Island
Pulau Tioman
Pulau Kapas
Pulau Perhentian
Pulau Pemanggil.

But there is another thing i would try as well.. its called Squid jigging. where by you get arrow Squids size ranging from 1 feet to 3 feet squids.. with the size of a coke bottle.. that's huge man

by the way.. Malaysia will be having its own International Squid Jigging 2days away

This is something i would try..
Hmm since its 2days away... i guess i don't have the time to go for this round.

My 1st Weekend for May

2008-05-05T11:40:00.003+08:00

Saturday 3rd 0830 hours.. woke up and got ready for work.. worked till 1pm and left home to prepare to go for 1st sat church service in KL..

Arrive about 2.15.. the jam is crazy and the rain didn't help much on the traffic either.. but it does leave us with a cool saturday.

After church.. went to hunt for TAUFUFA in uptown.. my favourite stall since i was a kid about 10 yrs old.. my dad always bring me and family at the Uptown FAJAR..
but ... so sad that it ran out of TAUFUFA.. nvm la.. SOYA milk will do la.. After that.. head towards THE GARDENS in midvalley for FONG LYE.. a taiwan open concept restaurant. nice cozy chairs and nice setup.. not to mention the food was DELICIOUS.

No pics on the food as i took it on Mabel's phone.

but i do have some pics of the short Fashion show in The Gardens by the brand Animal.

Please ignore the poor quality of the photo's as i'm standing quite far away from the stage with my elcheapo camera phone.

Well the usual wake up in the morning .. get ready and go to church on Sundays for services.. After that head towards Jusco Kepong for some lunch.. Its so freaking hot outside.. imagine.. turn on my aircond full blast and turn it off for 10 seconds and we can't stand it already..

After reaching Jusco.. this is where the hunt for parking starts. Don't you just hate people breaking the rules by going opposite directions and get all the parking whereby you have to go one round in order to get to the right path.. I've lost countless of this parkings to those who's not following the directions of the traffic.. it says one way and no entry but people still ignores it.. sigh.. anyway i got my parking not long after that Thank God.

head towards the food section and i felt like eating everything that is there.. but we settled in at Sushi King, had salmon sushi, potato salad sushi, baby octopus sushi, and alot more la.. bill comes up to Rm 64 something..

After that walked around Jusco.. looking for my items.

1) Cling wrap

2) nice japanese flat biscuits.. really flat.. can't find it.

3)Dead prawns for fishing later.

After paying the items.. went out to look for currency exchange to see the currency rates for Thai Bath.. at the moment we saw..10.15 selling.. meaning RM 1 = 9.85 Thai Bath.. compared to Midvalley.. Rm 1 - 9.90 selling at 10.10.

After that got into my car.. head towards kepong tackle. Trying to look for the fisherman hat but sold out.. sigh.. left the shop.. drove off and sent Mabel home. Right after i reach home.. gather my fishing gears, icebox, ice pack and water. head towards klang together with my uncle and reach that place at 5.50pm.. without further ado.. drive to the designated spot to fish and water is rushing in like a waterfall

Water rushing into the water gate

The only fish that i caught using prawn meat. Golden Snapper ranging at 1.8kg
Deep fried Golden Snapper topped with sweet and sour sauce
Steam tiger prawns in egg white and rice wine decorated with ginger slice

4 types of beans called "4 emperor vege dish"

that was a satisfying meal together with my Sifu, his wife and my uncle..

After that brought my uncle to the Tiger Prawn pond to have a look at it and try it for himself 1st hand.. not bad for a 1st timer.. caught 14 tiger prawns totalling to 400 grams for 1.5 hours.

For me 18 prawns totalling 500 grams for 2 hours.

Changed to the new fresh bait (gardenia bread) and cast out my bait again.. about 1 hour later.. another bite registered as the reel went berzerk screaming again.. took the rod and gave a strike to secure the hook in the fish mouth.. then fight the fish for a good 10 minutes i would say.. landed the fish (pacu..aka piranha.. local piranha without their spiky shart teeth..

Jokes : Captain Hook

2008-04-26T10:28:00.002+08:00

Have you ever wondered how Captain hook got his eye patch, peg leg and hook??

A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and the talk turns to their adventures. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg leg, a hook, and an eye patch. "How did you end up with the peg leg?" he asks.

The pirate replies, "I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. As my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."

"Wow!" says the seaman. "What about your hook?"

"Well," answers the pirate, "we were boarding a ship when one of the enemy hacked off my hand."

"Incredible!" says the seaman. "How’d you get the eye patch?"

"A sea gull shit in my eye," the pirate replies.

"You lost your eye to a sea gull dropping?" the seaman asks.

"Well," says the pirate, "it was my first day with the hook."

Look Out Point!

2008-04-26T09:51:00.005+08:00

Yesterday decided to go there with a bunch of friends after church service (attendance : Justus, Bubu, Sarah, Karen, Jeremy, Mabel and Me) to have some snack, food and drinks. Reached the place about 11.20pm.. but 11.30pm we started to order our drinks. I remembered clearly ordering the Large squid ball and large mango juice to quench my thirst, but to my dismay.. the squid ball came in small portion.. Informed her waitress that we ordered a large one and she just asked us to take it and she will serve us with another small portion one later to compensate the large squid ball.

Anyway.. it was nice and chilly at that time.. minus the insects flying around and i would appreciate it my food and drinks would come on time.. food came pretty quick as we waited for about 10 minutes.. then my other friends drink came simultaneously.. except mine.. Jeremy came pretty late about 12am cause he detoured somewhere before he came here to join us.

Even after Jeremy & Karen arrived.. their drinks are already here after 5 - 10 minutes and there is no sign of my mango juice yet.. before they arrive i actually reminded the waiter about my drink (1st reminder) After Jeremy & Karen arrived and when they're ordering their drink i reminded them again (2nd reminder).. Even after their drinks are almost finishing.. i just ask the same waitress where is my drink (3rd reminder) and she said its on the way.. I told her are they still looking for mangoes on the tree that's why so slow.. she just laughed and said on the way.

30 minutes passed and still no sign of my mango juice. Called another young helpful waiter.. ask if we could get compensation and discount for my drink as I've waited about 1 1/2 hours.. the drinks came about 10 minutes later.. mind you.. this is when everyone already finished all their drinks and chatting away.. me damn thirsty.. just waited lor..

After finishing the drink and a lil more chat we decided to call for the bill and pay.. after checking the items ordered by Sarah.. We paid and there should be a balance of RM 10 to be paid back to us.. Bills come up to RM91 but we paid RM 101.. after 10 minutes still no sign of the change..

We decided to storm the counter and surprisingly everyone was free doing nothing.. when we complained to the "manager" we told him about the situation and stuff.. he didn't apologize... he kept asking.. "who's the waiter/waitress that you ordered from" i know who i ordered from but just didn't point out who.. Then he just ask one of the staff to "explain to the customer why the mango juice never come out" what a loser manager he is.. can't he just apologize.. get us our change and we won't even bother about him anymore..

Verdict.. Food OK la..cannot complain as we finished everything.. Service.. sucks and don't know how to handle the situation.. They should at least have the waiter/waitress to just ask the table if everything is alright or is every order out yet..but no.. all i can see waiter and waitress damn free.. even the juice counter don't have anyone blending the juice..

Nice place to have a drink.. nice company and nice view.. but not the service. I guess its the management problem.. if the manager could point his fingers to his staff.. what kind of service could you expect..

This is what you see at night there!

Fishing..

2008-04-24T15:08:00.004+08:00

Well.. Most of you guys know what’s fishing already.

My favourite Quote:

Fishing: -
"The best feeling is when the fish is nibbling till you see the rod curves but not while waiting for it to nibble"

I’ve asked a friend to join me fishing one day and he described, “fishing is like watching the grass grow.”

Well conventional fishing may be.. where by you hook your worm on the hook and go to your favourite spot under a nice big shaded tree and cast out to the water and wait.. if the waiting game tends to be longer than usual.. you sleep..

Fishing its not about that.. It actually trains up your patience.. and nowadays anglers does not do what the conventional method. There are a few way to catch your fish.. if so happen the fish happened to be infront of your bait then your lucky.. what if the fish is not around your bait.. you don’t get any fish..

So the method we used nowadays its called casting.. where you can cast live bait, dead bait or even fake fish (lures). Its very simple method if you use live bait.. all you need to do is just cast out to a remarkable distance and slowly reeling in your line.
Let me draw you a simple illustration..

Pic A. conventional method of fishing vs casting Pic B

Pic A shows when you cast and wait.. you’ll have to wait until the fish actually swims around the area to get attracted to your bait.

Pic B shows that when you cast and retrieve you actually cover more areas and you will have a better chances of getting a hook up.

*this is just a simple illustration on how it works. If the method does not work, It could be cause the fishing pressure is too high are not maybe much fishes at the place you’re fishing or there is no fish at all(this is when i'm talking in the wild). I’ve used this method in pay ponds and it works very well.

For casting a lure.. it’s the same method of fishing with live bait just that you’ll have to present your lure in a way that it looks attractive to the fish to whack your lure. Fish in general look for bait fish that are injured cause it’s easier to hunt them rather than swimming around the pond chasing a baitfish.

Attached here is the fishes that I’ve caught using the casting method instead of the conventional method.

2.8 kg Golden Snapper

White snapper ranging from 1 kg - 1.6 kg and a 3kg senangin taiwan

Barramundi 1.7 kg, Mangrove Jack 1.6kg and Senangin Taiwan 4.3kg

Sorry no pics of the action and the bait setup and stuff.. cause i was fishing and my hands weren't very clean to get my hands to my cameraphone. Will try to take the next time i go fishing..

Okie the report for the last pic where i caught my biggest senangin ever recorded by me.. This happen somewhere last month when i was having my holidays and i decided to go to Sealion Pond 1 to fish.. Equiped with my Ryobi Excia loaded with 20lbs braided line and a 6 feet Lemax black panther rod.. Maruto size 14 suicide hooks.. (i'll explain what do you mean by that later)

After arriving there.. checked in and used prawns that we bought at a nearby stall before checking in cost RM0.70 per prawn.. if you buy at the stall at the entrance of the pond will cost you Rm 1 per prawn..

Started casting and there's this malay chap who got an immediate strike after casting his bait.. immediately i lend him a helping hand after he finished fighting the fish and controlled it beautifully into the landing net.

He landed a senangin taiwan and it weight approximately 4kg.. Then back to my rod.. i felt a hard "thug" at the end of my line.. waited for about 10 seconds and reel in my line slowly.. no response.. but i discovered that the fish whacked the prawn head.. so my prawn now is very much dead, i just cast at the place where the malay chap landed his fish.. immediately after my bait touch the water, not even 15 seconds.. my line went out fast and i realised that a fish took my bait.. i gave it a hard strike and my reel went screaming and i registed a "fish on" the fight was hard as i haven't been fishing for a very long time.. It pulled my line non stop and there were stilts in the middle of the pond.. all i can see is that my line is heading towards it.. the next thing you know.. the worst fear among all anglers.. the fish got stuck to the stilt.. I was like "AIYO" .. "WHY LA" .. then there is another malay chap adviced me to just hold the rod and keep it steady and he said eventually the fish will give up one. So i gave it a try and i see my line head out in the open where there is nothing for the fish to take cover now. .i start pumping my rod and reel in my line and after about 5 minutes.. i landed this huge fish..the pulling power is still fresh in my memory.. what a nice fish.. i removed the hook and took out the fish clip and put the fish into the water to let it remain fresh before i check out.

After another 10 minutes i register another hook up.. this time its a mangrove jack and the fight wasn't long about 3 minutes.. and the fish is landed.. then the 3rd fish landed 5 minutes after that..i was thinking.. if this goes on like this.. i will have overflowing of stock for several months.. but too bad.. it didn't came to reality.. all in all thats it for the 1st hour of fishing.. and the balance 2 hours.. i was just renting the chair there to warm my ass.. no more bites registered.. but its ok.. Thank God for it and it gave me a wide smile on my way checking out of the pond..

I still remember the words on the people i passed by "Wah.. look at that boy with that fish" "Wah.. besornya" hehehe.. in my heart. Its all grace..

Thats the report i have for this time..

Next post.. maybe i'll post my fish rigs.. hooks and fishing stuff.. till then.. hope you enjoyed reading it.

Prawning!!

2008-04-23T13:52:00.001+08:00

Well.. what is prawning you people might ask.. Well its simply a word used when you're fishing for prawns.. It would be wrong if you would say i'm going to fish prawns.. Other people might ask you.. So you're going fishing fish or fishing prawns.

Well in order not to complicate things.

Fish = Fishing
Prawns = Prawning

Its just my own definition.. I don't think there is such word in the dictionary.
Anyway.. back to the topic, i used to go for fresh water prawning for Udang Galah (big head prawns) it looks like this

Total catch of the day

I used to fish it in Kota Kemuning Prawn fishing pond. I no longer fish for this kind of prawns cause of the reasons below.
1) The prawn meat is not sweet
2) Its too costly to fish already(Rm 38 for 3 hours, RM 12 p/hour + Rm 2 for Jackpot)
3) I hardly catch more than a kg and market is selling RM 30 per kg.

Although its quite fun catching this kinda prawn using a light fishing rod.. but at the end of the day.. not worth it la. Below is the biggest big head prawn that i've caught so far.. its about 148 grams.. Jackpot contender.. but didn't win.

Then i was introduces to another kind of prawning.. its called Tiger Prawning cause the prawns are all tiger prawns.. There are alot of reasons why its better compared to the Big head prawns..mainly.. its far more worth it fishing and you don't need to wait long.. for people with no patience at all this is something you should try.
This is how a farmed tiger prawn looks like..

I just love the colour of it.. looks like someone spray paint on it.

One of the biggies that i caught.

Total catch for my tiger prawns

Steamed fresh tiger prawns..nothing taste better than fresh prawns!!

A fisherman says to the bartender (with a drunken slur), "Bartender, buy everyone in the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the bill."

So, the bartender does just that and hands the man a bill for $37.00. The fisherman says, "I haven't got it." The bartender slaps the guy around a few times then throws him out into the street.

The very next day the same fisherman walks into the bar and once again says (with a drunken slur), "Bartender, buy everyone in the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the bill."

The bartender looks at the guy and figures to himself that he can't possibly be stupid enough to pull the same trick twice so he gives him the benefit of the doubt, pours a round of drinks for the house, has a drink himself and hands the fisherman a bill for $37.00.

The drunk says, "I haven't got it."

The bartender can't believe it, so he picks the guy up, beats the living day lights out of him, and throws him out into the street.

The next day the same fisherman walks back into the same bar and says (with a drunken slur), "Bartender, buy every one in the house a drink, give me the bill."

In disgust the bartender says, "What, no drink for me this time?'

The fisherman replies, "No, you get violent when you drink."

Jokes : Winking Problem

2008-04-23T10:32:00.000+08:00

A man with a winking problem is applying for a position as a sales representative for a large firm. The interviewer looks over his papers and says, "This is phenomenal. You've graduated from the best schools; your recommendations are wonderful, and your experience is unparalleled. Normally, we'd hire you without a second thought. However, a sales representative has a highly visible position, and we're afraid that your constant winking will scare off potential customers. I'm sorry...we can't hire you."

"But wait," he said. "If I take two aspirin, I'll stop winking!"

"Really? Great! Show me!"

So the applicant reaches into his jacket pocket and begins pulling out all sorts of condoms: red condoms, blue condoms, ribbed condoms, flavored condoms; finally, at the bottom, he finds a packet of aspirin. He tears it open, swallows the pills, and stops winking.

"Well," said the interviewer, "that's all well and good, but this is a respectable company, and we will not have our employees womanizing all over the country!"

"Womanizing? What do you mean? I'm a happily married man!"

"Well then, how do you explain all these condoms?"

"Oh, that," he sighed. "Have you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for aspirin?"

Jokes : 3 Worst Chinese Torture!

2008-04-23T09:23:00.000+08:00

A man was out in the Chinese wilderness and he was hopelessly lost. It had been nearly three weeks since he had eaten anything besides what he could forage and he had been reduced to sleeping in caves and under trees.

One afternoon he came upon an old mansion in the woods. It had vines covering most of it and the man couldn't see any other buildings in the area. However, he saw smoke coming out of the chimney.

He knocked on the door and an old man with a beard almost down to the ground answered. The old man squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you want?"

The man said, "I've been lost for the past three weeks and haven't had a decent meal or sleep since that time. I would be most gracious if I could have a meal and sleep in your house for tonight."

The old Chinese man said, "I'll let you come in on one condition. You cannot mess around with my granddaughter."

The man, exhausted and hungry, readily agreed. "I promise I won't cause you any trouble. I'll be on my way tomorrow morning."

The old Chinese man replied, "Okay, but if I do catch you then I'll give you the three worst Chinese torture tests ever known to man."

"Okay, Okay," the man said as he entered the old house.

That night, when the man came down to eat (after showering), he saw how beautiful the granddaughter was. She was an absolute pearl, and while he had only been lost three weeks, he had gone many, many months without sex. The girl had only seen the occasional monk besides her grandfather. They couldn't keep their eyes off each other throughout the meal. That night, the man snuck into the girl's bedroom and they had quite a time. The man crept back to his room later that night, thinking to himself, "Any three torture tests would be worth it after that experience."

The next morning the man awoke to a heavy weight on his chest. He opened his eyes and there was this huge rock on his chest. On the rock was a sign that said. "First Chinese torture test: 100-pound rock on your chest."

"What a lame torture test," the man thought to himself as he got up and walked over to the window. He opened the shutter and threw the rock out.

On the backside of the rock was another sign saying, "Second Chinese torture test: right testicle tied to rock."

The rock was too far out the window to be grabbed, so he quickly jumped out the window after the rock. Outside the window was a third sign saying, "Third Chinese torture test: left testicle tied to bedpost

Jokes : Slow down or Stop completely?

A motorcycle cop pulled over a Lamborghini Diablo after it had run a stop sign. “May I see your driver’s license and registration please.”
“What’s the problem, officer?”

“You just ran that stop sign back there.”

“Oh come on, pal, there wasn’t a car within miles of me.”

“Nevertheless sir, you are required to come to a complete stop, look both ways, and proceed with caution.”

“You gotta be kidding me!”

“You gotta be kidding me!”

“It’s no joke, sir.”

“Look, I slowed down almost to a complete stop, saw no one within twenty miles, and proceeded with caution.”

“That’s beside the point, sir. You are supposed come to a complete stop, and you didn’t. Now if I may see your license and registration"

“You’ve got a lot of time on your hands, pal. What’s the matter, all the doughnut shops closed?”

“Sir, I’ll overlook that last comment. Let me see your license and registration immediately.”

“I will, if you can tell me the difference between slowing down, and coming to a complete stop.”

The policeman had enough. “Sir, I can do better than that.” He opened the car door, dragged the rude motorist out, and proceeded to methodically beat him over the head with his nightstick.

“Now sir, would you like for me to slow down or come to a complete stop?”

Snooker

2008-04-23T08:28:00.000+08:00

Taking a deep thought about when i started to play snooker. After frying some of my brain cells and drying some of my brain juices, i finally recall that i started snooker pretty late (comapred to most of my friends).. it all started when i was in form 3 (1995) my 1st game ever that i played cost me Rm7.20.. (still remember it very clearly cause it was RM 7.20 per hour)

Now after thinking back history.. me and my friends used to gather in the arcades to play snooker or even arcade games that time. Damn i missed those days where arcade games only cost 20 cents per game. I've come to a stage where i started to pick up this sport or hobby or whatever you call it.. I remember that i payed alot of $$ cause we practice loser pay for the table money. Its not a cheap "tuition" and experience i would say.. but eventually it payed off.. after training and playing with most of my friends. . I've learn how to control the cue ball.. not perfect yet.. but at least i know where its going.. a friend once told me.. "when you control the cue ball, you control the game"

Now after 13 years and still playing snooker (occasionally) i can say that i achieved something at the end of the day.. what did i achieve you may ask? I'd say that i manage to finish a game in less than 20 minutes.. Hmm.. that's 3 times faster than before.. I would say that snooker is a fun, interesting and mentally straining game (that is if you play it seriously) I can say that i learn something new everyday and i can't never stop learning from snooker. But one thing for sure.. i can proudly say that i understand the game much better.. not because of 13 years.. but through different people that I've played with.

The last time that i played snooker ..was on the 21/04/2008.. played about 9 games . Highest break yesterday(meaning you get the most point in one turn) would be 26 points (2 pinks and 2 blue).

Well.. i don't really know what to blog about.. but i will definitely get inspired soon.. as i already have a few things in mind to blog about.
