Make claims

2011-01-18T16:49:00.004+08:00

What make a employee flee from employer? Salary under pay, benefits, working environment or relationship in the office? Different person have different opinion. To me, environment come first. No matter how high I get paid to do my job, if my direct superior cannot understand or protect me from outsider, I'm starting to look for new job.

I'm a technical engineer, my job required me to go to customer's place to carry out my daily job. I make claims for the petrol and allowance at the end of the month. We fill in forms in order to make claims. If we make mistake in the forms or fill it incompletely, our claims get cut. Which mean to say, I pay my own petrol to go to customer place to carry out the job our company require me to do. What kind of system is this? Prior to go to customer place to do my job, I get approval from my superior. He knew I have to go there to complete the job yet he still disapprove my claim if I miss out something in the claim form.

Can it be "incomplete" instead of cutting my claim? Let me modify the incomplete part instead of submit to management and paid me less. What on the mind of this person's head? I don't know and I don't wanna know.

For the pass few months, my claims had been cut a few times. I', gonna make some suggestion to management to make some changes on this else we will be continue to have hard time making claims.

Woman with math problem

2007-10-04T15:47:00.000+08:00

There was this woman in a coffee shop near Hotel Malaysia who was a waitress, her calculation is really sucks. She can't add up the sum of two drinks like RM1.10 + RM1.30, she would sum them up to be RM2.80.

Jo and I used to be having breakfast every last Sunday of the month in this coffee shop as Jo need to sell her beads at Upper Penang Street. So, to save time we normally take our breakfast there. I remember Jo and I order different drinks and one packet of 'Nasi Lemak' (about RM1 per packet), and when we ask this woman to calculate it, she mumble something then she told us the total was something around RM5++. I was puzzled at the moment she told me the amount we had to pay as two drinks and one 'nasi lemak' could cost us so much. I then ask her calculate again. This time the 'tau keh soh' heard it and she came to calculate it. This 'tau keh soh' then told us that assistant is having little problem with math calculation, she apologise to us.

一個母親一生撒的8個謊言

2007-09-26T14:43:00.000+08:00

兒時，小男孩家很窮，吃飯時，飯常常不夠吃，母親就把自己碗裏的飯分給孩子吃。母親說：孩子們，快吃吧，我不餓！母親撒的第一個謊　

男孩長身體的時候，勤勞的母親常用周日休息時間，去縣郊農村河溝裏撈些魚來給孩子們補鈣。魚很好吃，魚湯也很鮮。孩子們吃魚的時候，母親就在一旁啃魚骨頭，用舌頭舔魚骨頭上的肉漬。男孩心疼，就把自己碗裏的魚夾到母親碗裏，請母親吃魚。母親不吃，母親又用筷子把魚夾回男孩的碗裏。母親說：孩子，快吃吧，我不愛吃魚！母親撒的第二個謊

上初中了，為了繳夠男孩和哥姐的學費，當縫紉工的母親就去居委會領些火柴盒拿回家來，晚上糊了掙點分分錢補點家用。有個冬天，男孩半夜醒來，看到母親還躬著身子在油燈下糊火柴盒。男孩說：母親，睡了吧，明早您還要上班呢。母親笑笑說：孩子，快睡吧，我不睏！母親撒的第三個謊

高考那年，母親請了假，天天站在考點門口為參加高考的男孩助陣。時逢盛夏，烈日當頭，固執的母親在烈日下一站就是幾個小時。考試結束的鈴聲響了，母親迎上去遞過一杯用罐頭瓶泡好的濃茶，叮囑孩子喝了，茶亦濃，情更濃。望著母親乾裂的嘴唇和滿頭的汗珠，男孩將手中的罐頭瓶反遞過去請母親喝。母親說：孩子，快喝吧，我不渴！母親撒的第四個謊

父親病逝之後，母親又當爹又當娘，靠著自己在縫紉社裏那點微薄收入，含辛茹苦拉扯著幾個孩子，供他們念書，日子過得苦不堪言。胡同路口電線杆下修表的李叔叔知道後，大事小事就找岔過來打個幫手，搬搬煤，挑挑水，送些錢糧來幫補男孩的家裏。人非草木，孰能無情。左鄰右舍對此看在眼裏，記在心裏，都勸母親再嫁，何必苦了自己。然而母親多年來卻守身如玉，始終不嫁，別人再勸，母親也斷然不聽，母親說：我不愛！母親撒的第五個謊

男孩和她的哥姐大學畢業參加工作後，下了崗的母親就在附近農貿市場擺了個小攤維持生活。身在外地工作的孩子們知道後就常常寄錢回來補貼母親，母親堅決不要，並將錢退了回去。母親說：我有錢！母親撒的第六個謊

男孩留校任教兩年，後又考取了美國一所名牌大學的博士生，畢業後留在美國一家科研機構工作，待遇相當豐厚，條件好了，身在異國的男孩想把母親接來享享清福，卻被老人回絕了。母親說：我不習慣！母親撒的第七個謊

晚年，母親患了重病，住進了醫院，遠在大西洋彼岸的男孩乘飛機趕回來時，術後的母親已是奄奄一息了。母親老了，望著被病魔折磨得死去活來的母親，男孩悲痛欲絕，潸然淚下。母親卻說：孩子，別哭，我不疼。母親撒的最後一個謊

I hit 2 snatch thieves with my car

2007-09-18T17:14:00.000+08:00

I hit two snatch thieves with my car yesterday afternoon at 3:30pm in front of Malvest building at Bukit Jambul Penang. I was just come out from Alliance Bank, then paying my parking ticket. Get into my car with my mom and drove off, then before taking the ‘U’ turn down to Jalan Tun Dr. Awang, I saw a motorbike stop in the middle of the road. I then slow down my car in order for the motorbike to drive off of at least get to the side and let me pass.

Beside the bike, there is a Kancil and the door at the driver’s site is wide open. There is a man pulling something violently inside the car. My instinct tells me both these two man are snatch thieves, my mom also saying the same thing to me at that time. The distance between my car and the snatch thief’s bike is about 10 meters away, and without hesitate, I accelerate my car and hit both snatch thieves on their back. The bike nearly falls to the ground, the other one fall to the ground. Both of them panic when they get up, the thief with the bike speed off when I try to hit it the second time but I failed (my car’s horse power not good enough else I have had hit it again). The other one ran slowly across the road toward the Malay ‘Kampung’ area and disappear. I do get out of my car and shout at those Malay guys sitting across the road to catch that bastard. I’m not sure whether they heard what I shouted and they just watch that guy ran slowly passing by them.

About 10 or 20 seconds later some of the guys there started to chase. They come back to grab some stick later and go after that thief again. That thief manage to get away, but I think he already sustain some injury as he can’t ran fast. Later I heard from the Malay who chase after the thief saying that bastard got ‘parang’ with him, that’s why they came back to grab some stick and go after him.

The victim was an Indian pregnant woman, she was going for her routine check-up at the clinic. She went back to the car to get something from the car according to her. She looked very shocked and can’t speak a word when the doctor and someone in the clinic trying to help her. She lost one necklace and sustains little back pain. The doctor calls police and make report after that.

How bad is the impact? Look at the photos below for yourself. The Kancil’s door at the driver site had open 90 degree widely thanks to my effort to hit the snatch thieves. My car’s front bumper and number plate also damage a bit.

排汗和排尿的差別

2007-09-18T09:51:00.000+08:00

【您知道為什麼馬拉松選手不得癌症嗎？】

德國體育醫學龍頭艾倫斯特〈譯音〉博士發現，所有運動選手當中，唯獨馬拉松選手沒有罹患癌症的病例。因此艾倫斯特博士為了找出不得癌症的原因，不斷的研究，結果發現了一項驚人的事實。

艾倫斯特博士採集了每天跑步 30 公里以上的馬拉松選手的汗水，分析其汗水的成份，結果發現汗水中含有鎘、鉛、銅、鎳等之重金屬物質。

艾倫斯特博士下的結論是「每天跑 30 公里以上的馬拉松選手，自體內深處排出大量汗水的同時，亦將體內累積的致癌成份〝重金屬〞排出體外，徹底去除癌症的根源，因此馬拉松選手是不會得癌症。」

根據以上的研究結論，艾倫斯特博士發表了「以排汗的方式，徹底去除體內的累積物，可預防癌症」的研究報告，艾倫斯特博士強調的「想要健康長壽，就要一天一次大量排汗。」這句話是絕對值得信賴的。

【您知道排汗市場如此龐大？】

能量之國韓國的排汗市場一年約新台幣 6000 億，您知道為什麼一年有幾億人次的韓國國民到黃土能量房去排汗嗎？在沒有任何廣告宣傳的情況下，短短 15 年內形成了如此龐大的市場全靠體驗後的口碑相傳。

因為體驗過後發現能量排汗無論對慢性病患的病症、促進血液循環或皮膚美容，以及維持苗條的健康身材上皆具有驚人的功效。

【出汗能夠排泄體內有害物質】

對身體而言，為何出汗特別重要呢？排泄體內不需要物質的基本功能，就是排便、排尿與出汗。其中，汗具有排泄體內疲勞物質或對人體有害的重金屬、毒素的重要作用。雖然尿也會排出重金屬，但是排出功能卻遠不及汗。

亦即藉由出汗，能夠排出大量的重金屬。汗也具有調節體溫的重要作用。

全身健康的出汗，就能夠強化現代最欠缺的體溫調節功能與自律神經。汗從體表氣化，令人得到爽快感，對精神也有很大的幫助。藉著氣化熱消耗熱量，能夠提升代謝力，減少體脂肪，有助於消除肥胖。

對身體而言具有重要作用的汗，不會對身體造成負擔，全身出汗，就能夠強化自律神經，提升代謝力，排出老舊廢物與毒素，對於美容與健康都有幫助。

'YODA' the hamster

2007-09-13T14:58:00.001+08:00

Jo's hamster, YODA, pass away this morning. She sms me and told me about it, then I called back to her. She sound very sad and I can hear her crying when she tell me YODA didn't move when she feed it with some food. She will stock up YODA's food every morning before she went to work and after work. Few days ago I already sense YODA is not right coz I seen it taking deep breath several times continuously. Another hamster, name SKYWALKER, died two months ago. When I purchase these 2 hamsters for Jo, she ask me to give them name. I name them YODA & SKYWALKER as I couldn't think of any. At that time I remember I just watch StarWars movie so I just pick the name from the movie. Hope Jo is alright tonight when I see her. If she wanted to buy new hamster, I will take her to the pet shop. But I think she doesn't want anymore, she got no time to clean the cage.

The dogs are back

2007-09-11T14:49:00.000+08:00

Cedric, my brother-in-law, he doesn’t want my sis to feel sad after her 2 dogs went missing or kidnapped, went to bought 2 new puppies for her, a Basset Hound puppy (same breed with Bobo) and a Golden Retriever puppy. On his way back home with the new doggies, he found Bobo and Mia, the 2 missing dogs just beside the guard post at the entry/exit route to their housing area. They were left there unattended and luckily no one picks them up and takes them home, so lucky for the 2 dogs.

What my sister can figure out is, the kidnapper must have taken them to MPS (Majlis Perbandaran Selayang) where there is a contest for catching street dogs. The prize money is RM15K 13K and 11K for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. The officer at the contest must have known that Bobo is definitely not a stray dog and refuse to accept them and the 2 indian guys had no place to keep them but to return them.

I do pray to my dad on the day they went missing. I pray to my dad to take care of them and lead them home. Miracle do happen this time, or my father do watching us and protecting us. Now my sis have 4 dogs all together, 2 Basset Hound (or most people prefer to call them Hush Puppy), 1 Labrador Retriever and 1 Golden Retriever. I wish I can be with the dogs now, I can’t wait to see them all.

Maintenance problem

2007-09-11T09:31:00.001+08:00

I was appointed the task to maintain all the computers in my office since the day I started to work in this small size company. My office have around 20 units of computers including personal computer, laptop, server, printer, etc. To maintain and keep track of all the computers is a problem for me as I don't have access to the setting of certain devices like DSL modem and router, printer, and some programmer's pc or laptop.

Purchase of new computer will definitely go thru me as I am the one who recommend which brand to purchase. But when purchase new device like switch or router, the management won't be asking my opinion at all. Instead, they will straight away go to that particular staff who always purchase these devices for them since many years ago.

Problems comes in when the newly acquired device is install and I am not taking part in the installation process, and I was not keeping the techinical information about that particular devices. Later when problem arise, I will be ask by my boss or manager to look at the problem and if possible solve. But how? Where to start from? Where to get the information I needed in order to solve it? That person who installed this always asking me back for the info he who installed it and not giving me the info at the first place right after the installation complete.

I have raise this concern of mine to the management several times, but I think their main focus is on the sales and not on other things. I was always left out or not in the office when installation of new hardware take place. Some time I get blame for not doing my job well like adding printer into the new pc of the bitch admin from engineering.

'Bobo' and 'Mia' went missing last Friday morning

2007-09-10T15:25:00.000+08:00

My sister's two dogs, Bobo (Basset Hound, male, one and a half years old) and Mia (Labrador Retriever, female, less than one year old) went missing on last Friday morning when my brother-in-law is about to go to work. They were last seen in a car with two indian guy, I guess those two indian guy had kidnapped Bobo and Mia. I never get to see them again, unless my brother-in-law manage to find them today. My trip to KL and stay there this weekend will not be fun as they won't be around to play and swim in the pool with me. I will miss them...

Bobo, always sleep in this style... aren't he looks like a sausage!

Mia, she was just 3 months old when this photo is taken February early this year.

點解舉中指係粗口手勢

2007-09-06T16:42:00.000+08:00

舉中指的由來是英法戰爭時，英國的長弓兵相當的強悍，讓法軍相當頭痛，因此法國君主向軍中弟兄說，如果打敗英軍，要將所有的英軍長弓兵的中指砍下來，但到了最後，法軍還是輸了，此時英軍全數舉起他們的右手，並比起中指來炫耀他們的勝利並羞辱法軍，此後比中指就被當成羞辱別的的象徵！

另外，中世紀使用弓箭武器,是用中指發射，所以亮中指,表示自己的攻擊很強.後來引申成鄙視他人. 據說，在英法百年戰爭末期，本來快戰敗的英軍，因為獲得了新的祕密武器一用紫杉（Yew）作成的長弓，而扭轉了劣勢。因長弓而損失了大量兵員的法軍，對英軍下了絕殺令，只要捕捉到了英國的弓箭手，法軍會將他們用來拉弓的右手中指斬斷，再將他們吊死。然而，法軍的宣誓並未嚇阻英軍的反撲。

最後，法軍挫敗；據說，在法軍撤退的時候，所有的英國弓箭手將右手舉起，炫耀他們依然存在的中指，並大聲喊道："See, We can still plug the yew！Plug yew！" （看哪！我們還可以拉紫杉長弓！拉弓！）據說，經過了久遠的口語流傳，逐漸轉變成為今天的比中指手勢與 "F**k You" 的問候語。

Customer is 'THE 'KING'

2007-09-06T15:24:00.000+08:00

A lot of company practicing customer is 'THE KING' phrase. Which means whatever customer request, we must fulfill them in anyway we can. Even their request is non-sense or impossible. My employer too, wants us to practice this. But after some time, I found this to be very ridiculous. When client found out that they are 'THE KING', they start to make all kinds of request even it's not in our business role or business nature.

One of our customers in Ipoh bought a product from us. After setting it up, I found out that the area they are going to used the product does not performed up to expectation. I further investigate and found the root cause of the problem to be insufficient coverage of Access Point (AP). I suggested to them that they need to change to a more powerful antenna or installed additional AP in that particular area. They came back to Salesman that it's our problem not telling them they have required all this in the first place.

I have done my job. I am not going to deal with this customer anymore unless my boss tells me to. They are bunch of ID-TEN-T people in this world who wants to take advantage of others. I'll let my boss handle this since they are the one who wants us to practice 'THE KING' thingy, "padan muka"…

Retarded (ID-TEN-T) driver

2007-09-02T01:23:00.000+08:00

Imagine you are in your 40s, you drive a Perodua Kancil (small car like Smart for 2). You want to park your car into a parking lot previously occupied by a Honda Accord and you have to do a side parking. The space is about the length of Honda Accord plus 4 meters. How many times would you take to park your car perfectly into the space (I mean you try to reverse your car into the space from the side of the car infront of the space)? Two times, three times or may be four times and definitely not more than that (I assume you are had been driving for more than 10 years with good driving skill).

Last night while having dinner at McDonald Greenland, I saw a guy in his 40s, driving a Kancil with his family in the car. He tried to do side parking into a space same as I mention above, takes more than 3 times of reversing from the side line of the car infront and 2 times of adjusting the car into the perfect position. The whole thing happen for more than 5 minutes just to get the small Kancil park into the space which occupied by Honda Accord. Just in case you are not aware, the length of Honda Accord is about twice the length of Perodua Kancil.

I was watching it from the moment the Honda Accord try to move out from the space. It was a hard time for it as the front and the back is very close to each other, but the driver manage to move his car out within 30 seconds. I think the Kancil driver need to refresh his parking skill during a JPJ driving test again. Ohh... I forgot to mention, the driver is from Terengganu as the car plate is "TAG XXXX".

Police Road Block

2007-09-01T02:41:00.000+08:00

I got into police road block 4 times last night. I never been block by police so many times since 1991 when I start driving. I wonder why the police set-up so many block last night, it almost cover all the major road from town area to my house. The only reason I can think of is because of 'mat rempit'. No wonder I didn't see much 'mat rempit' on the road, they must have been flee from the main road. If the police can do the same thing on every Saturday night and on the night before public holiday, I think the 'mat rempit' will be vanished soon.

Patriotism

2007-08-30T14:48:00.000+08:00

Malaysia will be celebrating 50 years of independence tomorrow, I have seen lot of cars with national flag decorated (some even have dozens of flags, I doubted whether they can see the road when drive). But until today, I still haven't seen any Chinese put up or decorate their car. Why? I know why, all chinese knows the reasons. All chinese knows how well the government treat us. But who dares to speak it out, no one. I know there is one guy who dares to speak, but he ain't chinese. Visit this guy at Malaysia Today.

'kor lock peng'

2007-08-27T13:40:00.000+08:00

I was buying my lunch just now at a 'kopi tiam' beside Queensbay Mall, then when I am paying for it at the counter, the lady in front of me order a drink to take away (tar pao).

Tau keh soh: Want to tar pao any drink?

Lady in front: kor lock peng

Upon hearing what she order, I was stunned and puzzled for a few seconds. What is that she was ordering? Why I never heard of such drink before in any of the 'kopi tiam' in Penang?

Tau keh soh: That would be RM... please.

After paying for the total amount, the lady walks to the back to take her order.

MeowX2: What is 'kor lock peng'?

Tau keh soh: She is Taiwanese la, she doesn't speak our hokkien very well, she order cola with ice.

If you read coca-cola or coke in Mandarin, it will sound like 'Ke ler' and if you read it in Cantonese, it will sound like 'hor lock'. This Taiwanese lady mixed all 3 languages in 1, Mandarin in the 1st word, Cantonese the 2nd and local Hokkien in the last word. I was laughing non-stop for about 20 seconds, and my evil brain start to work out something.

MeowX2: Can I tar pao 'si pai peng'

Upon saying out this, I start to laugh non-stop again.

Tau keh soh: What is that?

MeowX2: Sprite with ice la.

Tau keh soh: You really want sprite with ice ah?

MeowX2: No la, just playing with you nia la...

Tau keh soh: Get lost...

I was quite friend with this Tau keh soh already as I always goes to her coffee shop eat breakfast and lunch. So, she won't get angry with me.

Inconsiderate (ID-TEN-T) female driver

2007-08-25T17:23:00.000+08:00

I encounter this idiot female driver yesterday afternoon who was driving a Perodua Kancil in green colour. What she done to me was, she park her car half way in the parking lot. Half of the car actually blocking my car from reversing. Look at how this ID-TEN-T park her car in the picture I drown.

She was just stop by, came out from the car and goes into one of the shop to buy something. She left her kids in the car. Whats wrong with this woman? One word to describe her, inconsiderate. Inconsiderate for others and her family members too. She left her kids out of her site for almost 5 minutes. Who knows what will happen to the kids, got kidnap, someone drove her car off with her kids (the engine is still running). I witness it because I was waiting for my mom inside my car.

When I was about to reverse my car out, I have to sound my car's horn. She then came out from the shop about 30 seconds later and saying in malay 'sat sat' (in english mean wait wait). I then yell at her "parking baik baik la, depan kereta awak kan ada tempat lagi". After hearing what I said to her, she wasn't happy with it. She yell back at me "sekejap saja, tunggu lah". Upon hearing this, I yell back at her, "awak ni orang cacat ke, parking pun tak tau". She then gets into her car, and before she close her car's door, I yell louder at her again, "perempuan bodoh". I'm sure she heard it, because she stair back at me. Later she drove off, and me, flee the scene too.

I just can't understand those ID-TEN-T people, it's just a few meter away from parking the car properly instead of blocking other. Some more left their kids in the car with engine still running, what kind of mother is this? I myself are ID-TEN-T too, because my gal always said sitting in my car when I drive is like riding roller coaster, hahaha....

Ballroom Dancing

2007-08-22T08:54:00.000+08:00

No, it wasn't me joining ballroom dancing. It's Jo, she likes dancing very much until she would skip anything just for it. And me, would drive her to the dancing class every session. She will be joining the competition this coming November in PISA (Penang International Sports Arena) and Bayview Beach Hotel (if I'm not mistaken of the venue).

Jo went for dancing practice again last night, and me, as usual will be sitting there watching her practice. Actually am not interesting in watching her dancing (coz the dance she practice is not interesting at all), I'm there to watch her instructor teaching other dancing like Tango, Cha Cha, Salsa, Rumba, etc. John, is the name of her instructor, dance pretty good among all I have ever see thru my own eyes.

There are some others colleagues of Jo joining the dancing and competition as well. Pinky, the short little chinese girl (this Pinky is not the one in my office) and Azmi, the bumiputra from Sabah (I forgot about his races), are forming a dance couple for the competition. Everytime they were there, I will be laughing watching them dancing. You know why? Simple, I don't think they are dancing, I think they are there to do charity. This style of dance they practice would required them to swing their arm and hand toward their back with their palm facing down and fingers open like wanted to scratch something. When John teach them, John told them they have to do it like throwing stone away or throw to the back. Of course Pinky and Azmi are doing the same thing too, but they do it in a way like doing charity, like giving away free food or something (na, give you something). They were like being force to do it, or no mood and strength to dance. If you were there together with me, I think you will be thinking the same way too.

I wanted to laugh out loud everytime I see them doing this, but then I can't laugh at the scene. There are lots of peoples around who also practice dancing at the dancehouse or studio. I wish I could post the video I capture last night on this couple doing charity, but I think Jo will kill me before the video go live.

Not being myself

2007-08-07T10:35:00.000+08:00

I was not able to be myself everytime I make jokes to colleagues in my office. Friendship had fade since mid last year when they organise a dinner to Bukit Genting at Teluk Kumbar. I told them my experience there when the first time I went up there. It was kinda freak me out, I witness a Proton Iswara slide down the slope if it wasn't a big rock that hold it in its position then this car would have had going down the steep hill reversely.

I told them all this just to make them aware of the danger driving up there. My motive was to make them aware of the danger but they take it as I was purposely scare them by saying all this and some even think that I made this up. My buddy (he was my manager now and was the person who introduce me into this company) even said to others that I was chicken to go up there.

Then something happen to me in November last year which I had to "swallow a dead cat" (in cantonese they call it "sek sei mao") for something I was not aware off. It was a project that was implement at one of our customer which I was in the mailng lists at the beginning and the ending. What happen in between the project I was not informed at all as I wasn't in the mailing lists anymore. Then suddently something happen to the project, a big issue accussed by the customer that it was belong to the malfunction of the products we sold to them. The technical person who handle this project suddently drag me into it and want me to help solving it. It wasn't that I doesn't want to help but I was not managing the project from beginning. How am I going to help by suddently pulling me into it? I know nothing except for when and where the project started and ended. The person incharge then complained to my manager and this had made me an uncooperative person among colleagues.

After the above incidents and some others small small matters, I had pull myself out from all activities organise by them like karaoke, movie, dinner, etc. I just don't see myself in it or why should I join them for all these activities.

Last night they organise another dinner at BUkit Tambun, I initially told them I would join them but I fly them a concord airplane last minute. Being together with them will make me very uncomfortable especially when chit chatting. Everytime I had to think twice before saying something or making jokes. I just can't see myself in the group anymore, lots of things had change.

For me at the moment, friendship doesn't exist in this office environment other than the two new technician, the new sales girl and my department's admin (not the bitch admin from Engineering on the post below). Of course there are still some other colleagues that I think they are neutral but I don't talk to them much or I don't deal with them often.

The bitch admin

2007-08-03T17:08:00.001+08:00

I was the kinda like IT guy in my office as part of my job is to do the installation and maintainance of all the softwares and hardwares of all the pcs and laptops in my office. Last week, one of the administrator's pc broke down. She ask me to troubleshoot it and I did. I found out that either the motherboard or the power supply already 'kong'.

I call Dell's technical support to further clarify my finding on the pc (actually to get quotation for replacing the parts that needs to replace). They then confirm my finding and the pc do need to replace either the motherboard or the power supply. So I ask them to send quotation to me and at the same time I inform this lady admin that her pc need to replace the parts.

The quotation comes in 5 days later, but during that time period this admin lady keeps on asking me about when am I going to fix her pc. I already informed her about the situation and she sound like I did not do my job. She even send an email to me and cc my manager and big boss, this is really driving me mad. Come on you bitch, I already told you I'm waiting for the quotation to replace the part on your pc. Can't you just wait for it, what else you want from me or want me to do!

After my boss reviewing the quotation, he decide to buy new pc as the parts are expensive. So my boss ask me to source a new pc for her and when she heard she can get a new pc, she was very excited and happy. The next day my boss inform me that the new pc will be replacing one of the old pc which is running SAP at the moment. So that old pc will be replace the admin's pc.

Now I really don't know how am I going to tell this admin, she might think that all this while I was making her excited and then pour water on her face. She might be talking behind my back again accusing me of purposely doing that (actually I don't talk much with her, she is one of a kind). Well, I guess I need to ask my manager to send out an email stating this so that I can get away from this kind of office gossip.

Joez and I were shopping at Tesco this afternoon, she bought a brand new toilet bowl seat cover to replace the old and dirty bowl cover at the toilet inside her room. And on our way home, she told me this in the car.

Joez: Meow, I wanna pang sai after reach home.

MeowX2: *hearing without answering anything*

I didn't pay much attention to her as she always tell me the same thing everytime she wanna do the "big business". When home, she start to pack things for her Little Penang Street sales tomorrow and of course I help her to carried the stuff to my car. She then told me again she will go do her "big business" again after finish approximately around 6:00pm

Joez: Meow, I wanna go output liao...

MeowX2: Ok

Me as usual, again didn't pay much attention on this. Then after finished packing all her stuff, she mention this business of her again.

Joez: Meow, I wanna go pang sai liao...

This time it caught my attention. I was pause for awhile and think to myself, what was she up to, keeps on telling me she wanna go output for so many times! Then something struck my mind when I remember she bought the new toilet bowl seat cover. Then only I know why she keeps on telling me, actually reminding me to be exact.

MeowX2: You want me to change the toilet seat cover is it?

Joez: *grin*

MeowX2: hahahaha... sin nya mun hoo pang sai (read in hokkien)

Actually she want me to change the new toilet bowl seat cover for her, she want to try the new one. This is what the hokkien chinese people always saying, "new thing is good to try first".

Meaning

2007-07-19T09:20:00.000+08:00

Last night Joez and I had this conversation regarding my middle name, she keeps on asking what is the meaning of it. We were talking about something then we came to this:

Joez: Meow, what's the meaning of your chinese middle name (my middle name is Joon, in chinese is 润)?

MeowX2: This word itself doesn't have any meaning, but if it mix with other word then it will form a meaning, like 润滑油 lubricant oil.

Joez: So, what is the meaning of 润 la?

MeowX2: Told you already what, no meaning for this single word. Like Chow Yun Fatt 周润发, his name also contain the same word. 闰月 also use the same word (actually this 闰 was a bit different in writing from my middle name, but the pronounciation was the same. 闰月 means a repeated month in chinese Lunar calendar in every 3 years).

Joez: ...
MeowX2: ...
Joez: ...
MeowX2: ...

After some talking going around on this word, she came back to the same old question again.

Joez: What's the meaning of 润?

MeowX2: Again... *pengsan*

Option 2

2007-07-10T08:49:00.000+08:00

Last night when Jo and I were on our way to super fast food for dinner, we were talking about the apartment that my mom and I wanted to buy.

MeowX2: Just now the auntie from Pearl Garden calls me again.

Joez: So what does she said this time.

MeowX2: She was mentioning about the “feng shui”, she said she had hired a famous feng shui master from Bukit Jambul to look at the feng shui for their house before. The master said their place is a good feng shui place and ask them not move out of the house.

Joez: The master only views their house right, not the one we want to buy.

MeowX2: I think so.

Joez: What reason did you tell them when you call the auntie and told her you don’t want to buy that unit?

MeowX2: I told her you don’t like that unit because the outside feng shui is not good and its not point for me to buy it if you don’t want to stay there.

Joez: You really told that auntie like this ah?

MeowX2: Ya la, else what reason you want me to give. My mom and I already show interest in that unit, then suddenly pull out, that auntie must be suspect something ma. So, I had to give reasonable reason what.

Joez: You can give some other reason ma, why mention about me (at this point I know Joez a bit angry already, so I said the below just to make her laugh instead of angry).

MeowX2: ah bo then, what should I told her. Told her because of the owner’s cibai not big enough so I don’t wanna buy that unit ah!!!

Joez: @#!%$;#$!@^%#*

New slimming idea - fear factor method

2007-07-04T14:14:00.000+08:00

Ever thought of locking someone who was fat and fears of cockroach together in a seal room? The effect is he/she will get slim down by running and screaming all over the room when the cockroach start to flap its wings and fly.

Last night when having dinner with Jo, she mention that she want to get slimming again start from tomorrow (I already lost count how many times she said this to me). She always complains she was fat. So, last night I thought of this idea and told her. I’m going to lock her in a room let her in the room alone for around an hour. Before I lock the room, I will put in a cockroach. Jo afraid of cockroach very much, in fact, I think she will cry out as loud as she could if she was to wake up in the middle of the night and find out a cockroach crawling her bedsheet.

So, Jo will be running all around the room just to avoid close contact with the cockroach. By that way, I think she will burn a lot of calorie out of her body fat. What a brilliant idea from me, MeowX2… hehehe. Jo is going to kill me tonight when she saw this post... By the time you read this, she already threatening me to remove some portion of this post. She sure checking on my blog everyday when free.

Blocking traffic

2007-06-20T16:15:00.000+08:00

I wonder if a policeman pass by and see this bus parking in the middle of a traffic, will he issue the bus driver a summon ticket? haha... Actually this bus broke down in the middle of the traffic near Terminal Bus at Sungai Nibong. Well, the driver can't push it to the other side of the road as its way too big for him to move it. So, he call a mechanic to repair it on the spot. Actually there is a mechanic under the bus repairing at the moment I capture this photo. It's just that the front vehicle had block the view that you can see a man under the bus.

Snatch thieves scout in gang

2007-06-13T10:24:00.000+08:00

Now a day snatch thief doesn’t work alone, they usually came by group of at least 2 bikes. So, if you happen to encounter with them, look out for their fellow companion. Normally one bike goes to snatch and the other will look around and alert the other to flee the scene when someone approaches.

Yesterday morning my mom met with the snatch thieves while on her way to market. The thief came from side and pulls her necklace. Without hesitate, my mom hold on to the necklace and her shirt as the thief also grab her shirt together with the necklace. After few attempt and failed, the thief push my mom fall to the ground. She was so scared until she can’t speak a word when someone saw the incident and came to help her.

Nothing was get snatch by the thief. She sustains some bruise on the elbow and she came back after the incident without proceeding to market anymore. Her back feel pain hours later because when she falls to the floor, her butt landed first and then the elbow. I was afraid there might be some unseen fatal wound on her so I took half-day leave to take her to clinic for checking. Luckily after check up, doctor said nothing to worry about as it was just normal wound.

This is all my fault, I should have wake up earlier and fetch her to market. Normally she would follow my car every morning when I was on my way to work. Yesterday morning I was over slept by 20 minutes and by the time I’m ready to go to work, she already left.

While fetching her to market this morning, I told my mom to always walk home when there is someone along the route to our house. I even ask my ten years old nephew to accompany my mom to market every morning. Just hope this thing won’t happen to her again after some precautions taken.

Mixed drink

2007-06-12T01:30:00.000+08:00

Have you ever try to mixed 100plus, Sprites, lemon and longan in a drink with ice? I bet you haven’t! Try it, not bad too. Joez wanted to start selling drink at Little Penang Street next Sunday. So she and I went to Sunshine Square to buy lemon last night. She wants to make something new, something that no one sells before. We already have 100PLUS, Sprites, 7-UP, tea Boh and longan at home.

First, she mixed 100plus, Sprites and longan and the taste, not bad. Then add in lemon, which she asks her dad to try out. I think her dad only drink half of it then handed it back to Jo, he said it was too sour. I try it later on, ok la, not bad. I like this mixture too, you know why? I consume a lots of sour drinks, fruits, stuff like that, I like sour. My favourite food of all time, Penang laksa and rojak. Of course, both are sour.

Technical vs Sales

2007-06-09T03:46:00.000+08:00

I am a technical staff, I work as an Application Engineer or Technical Engineer in a technical department. My work was to solve customer’s problem or ease their problems with our products. Sometimes I need to demo our products to our customer, to show them how it will help them out.

Sales staff was different. They need to sell as much product as possible. They need to hit their quota. Sometimes they will recommend customer to buy products that doesn’t suite their problem. But of course, it should be more expensive than the one that best solve their problem. Why? They need to hit their quota and the most important thing is higher commission.

I don’t give it a shit if my company does not hit the sales quota. To me, making customer feel satisfy is my first role. If customer bought those products that doesn’t suite them well, they will keeps on coming back to us (technical) for solutions, which will in turn make my work getting harder and harder.

Sales man always came to me looking for a solution for their customer, but they always abandon my suggestion and stick to their own. Their suggestion will always less helping customer but will definitely boots their sales. But then, why came to me on the first place for solution since they already had in mind what to sell to their customer? I just don’t understand them, and not intended to figure it out.

Déjà vu

2007-06-04T15:38:00.000+08:00

Joez and I were having supper with my closed friend at “Ali” stall in front of Celcom building at Burma Road last Wednesday night. My buddy was back from China with his 2 girl’s colleague. They were here for holiday in Pulau Paya, Langkawi and Redang. My friend had just changed new mobile phone, Nokia N95. I was playing with his N95 then suddenly the low battery message pop up on the screen. At this point something struck my mind, something tells me I seen this or experience this before.

I mean, I was in this place, holding this Nokia N95, sitting on this chair, facing the Celcom building and all my friends were here together with me at this particular location. This picture keeps on showing up in my mind, but when did I seen it before? This is the first time I came to this place, first time in this back alley. I don’t even know there is an Indian “Roti Canai” stall here. But how come my mind tells me I seen this before? I can’t explain, don’t even recall I had dreamed of it before.

Later I told Jo about this, she said this is déjà vu. Some people will experience this. Just like her manager once had déjà vu too. Until today, I still can’t explain when I experienced it. May be it’s in my dream, as I forgot all my dreams right after I woke up from it. Then that night was like reminder to my mind that I had this in my dream. But weird, how can I dream of something haven’t happen before or dreaming the future. It’s really weird and strange! Had you have any deja vu too?

Paintball Game

2007-06-04T02:00:00.000+08:00

I was playing paintball game with my colleagues last Saturday afternoon at this paintball field near Yeap Chor Ee road. It was fun playing this shooting game. There were a bunch of peoples with their professional equipments, like their own marker (gun), protection gear, googles, jersey and pants, etc. I manage to snaps a few pictures of their equipments.

The bullet (paintball)

The banner

The marker (gun)

Googles (face cover or mask)

Professional marker or gun

Another professional gun

The battle field

The battle field from different view

RM350 for 2000 paintballs (bullets) for 14 persons will only last 3 rounds of game which we played for around 30 minutes. Each persons will get approximately 142 paintballs. I only used half of my paintballs as I give away some to my team member (they shoot wild a lot) and drop nearly half of it when I slip on the wet mud. I manage to gun down 4 and make another 4 surrender. I think I am the champion in this game, haha....

I wish I could snap more pictures of the equipments they have. If you are interested to know more about paintball stuff, go to this link Protopaintball.

Handbag Snatching at Queensbay Mall

2007-05-26T01:36:00.000+08:00

Yesterday morning around 10:10am, I was talking to one of my girl colleague in front of my office. Suddenly we heard a lady screaming like she just witnesses some terrible accident. My colleague was scared and then she grabs my arm and asks, “What’s going on, why someone screams like that?” Then we heard the sound of a motorbike speeding off. I then told my colleague, “It could be someone’s handbag had been snatched”.

We then proceed to nearby and watch from a distance and confirm that a lady’s handbag was snatched by a motorcyclist. She just got down from her car and the snatch thief then grabs her handbag and speed off. Upon get snatch, the lady scream until someone 200 meters away could hear her screaming. A lot of peoples run to the scene to find out what was going on.

I think this lady had learned her lesson, shouldn’t park her car outside the Mall. She could park her car at the multi storey car park provided and it’s just RM1 per entry. So, to all the lady out there, be extra careful when you walking on the street with your handbag. Hold on tight to it and be extra alert when some motorbikes approach you especially when they look like Mat Rempit.

IQ Test

2007-05-25T16:14:00.000+08:00

My colleague throws me this IQ question this afternoon after lunch. I nearly got the correct answer, the question goes like this:

"One sweet cost RM1, each sweet will be wrap by one wrapping paper. Three wrapping papers can redeem one sweet. Now, you have RM15, how many sweets can you eat?”

I will write the answer in the comment area, make sure you have your own answer before looking at mine!!!

Penang Junior Badminton Tournament

2007-05-21T10:18:00.000+08:00

Last year I was ranked 1st seed of the tournament, and I injured my neck and shoulder on the day I knew I was ranked top seed (what a mishap). It is the first time I was ranked so high in a tournament and I was so exciting. My partners was shock too when we knows our seeding. It was the past years result that lead us to this top rank. I and my partner manage to enter semi-final for the past 2 years of this tournament. We were ranked 3/4 seed two years back.

It end up I have to quit the tournament. I took nearly 6 months to fully recover from it. Now I can play like before I injured but my strength and speed had drop since then. I am 33 years old, not 18 or 20 any more. I wasn’t sure of my participant this year as my regular partner is in Suzhou of China, working as a manager in a new factory. If I am to participate, I definitely need someone who is up to my level, someone who had been under the state training before. By the way, I only play double, I'm no good in single game.

Stranger looking for wife inside my house

2007-05-13T01:32:00.000+08:00

Yesterday afternoon while I was polishing Jo’s car in front of my house, I notice one old guy (ah pek, who was in his 70 I guess) stop his motorbike near the gate. Get off from his bike and stand by the gate staring at me. I only look at him for 2 seconds then continue my polishing as I want to quickly finished it (it is hot and I was sweating). Minutes later he entered my house and stand beside me looking at what I was doing there. Below is our conversation:

Ah Pek: Is this your new car?
Me: No, this is not my car and it is not new anymore.
Ah Pek: This car is beautiful.
Me: *grin*
Ah Pek: What are you doing there?
Me: Polishing car.

Ah Pek was puzzled for 2 seconds (can see from his face gesture). May be in the olden days there were no such thing as polishing car.

Ah Pek: Four Dish Ink? (can know he doesn’t speak English)

As I was about to explaining to him what is polishing then something struck my mind.

Me: Who are you looking for?
Ah Pek: My wife.
Me: Your wife!!?!?

I’m puzzled for 2 seconds now, wondering who is his wife and why does he think she is here. I probably forgot that there was a bunch of old ladies inside my house gambling with my grandma.

Me: Who is your wife then?
Ah Pek: She is inside gambling.

I then continue with my business without entertaining him and he goes inside. Few minutes later another car stop in front of the gate and a beautiful girl get down and then entering my house and straight goes inside. Later the Ah Pek came out with his wife and the lady with her grandma.

Later on I figure out my dog “JJ” didn’t bark at them as they should have been came to my house for a few times (JJ will always bark at stranger who was first time coming to my house). There was always stranger walking around the compound of my house looking for my uncle who was at the back doing his job.

Talking behind my back

2007-05-09T09:28:00.000+08:00

I’m getting really pissed off now with some of my colleagues. Previously it was my boss, then my manager (my buddy as well… but I think now no more) and the young pink lady (I give her a nick name, call “pinky”), later the “fashion girl” (the taste of this girl get me at least 100 meters away from her), and now those four young fresh graduates (my boss call them “The FOUR King of Level 2” or in mandarin “四大天王”).

What’s wrong with all these peoples? Talking behind my back and yet still pretending they like me. Did I do something wrong, something that pissed you guys off? If you can’t stand me, just do me a favour, tell me off to my face. Don’t talk behind me, I don’t like it. And when I don’t like you, I will straight show it off to your face, you will notice it within second.

Trying to play Mr Nice Guy role in my office doesn’t give me good credits, that’s one thing I learn. So from now on, no more Mr nice guy from me. For work not related to me, I will just tell them “sorry, this is not my concern, I don’t want to be such a ‘kee poh’, this is none of my business” (I learn this from Master Eugene).

Restaurant Nasi Kandar KAYU

2007-05-07T19:42:00.000+08:00

Someone sent me this new price lists for KAYU nasi kandar. It looks like KAYU had been getting lots of “sotong” gather at their restaurant until they need to increase the price of their foods.

This is not the first time I heard about their food is expensive. I heard someone get cut throat some years back. The email about this had been circulating throughout the whole Malaysia. Yet there are still “sotong” lepak at their place.

For the past 3 years, I only been there once and what I eat there was Roti Canai and Teh Ais, nothing else. The food is “like that” only, nothing special. I rather eat at somewhere else if it wasn’t that I’m rushing for my badminton game as I recall.

They should have changing their name to Restaurant KAYA instead!

Two "BIG KID" with whitening mask on

2007-05-04T01:12:00.000+08:00

Jojo always like to play around with her things on me. This time, she decided to put on whitening mask on my face for the first time. She then put on some on her face as well. After that we stared at each other and laugh. Later we decided to take photos and both we knew what we're going to do with these photos, post up in our blog. So, here we are, two BIG KID with mask.

If we were to go downstair and watch ASTRO, her dad might get heart attack looking at the two BIG KID playing around.

Odd mannequin in JUSCO

2007-05-03T09:10:00.000+08:00

Well, here is the odd thing, look at the middle finger! Some shopper must have purposely done this. I wonder why JUSCO want to use this kind of mannequin. May be its cheap compare to other types.

Gather enough info before action taken

My butt was fried up like Kentucky’s Chicken Wing by customer these few days. They claims that I refuse to support them on our product sold to them. Even my PJ headquarters’ salesman also accusing me of doing it. Common, give me a break, you and I was working in the same company, ask around before you judge based on what customer said. I was just follow instruction given by my manager on how to handle this particular customer.

And now I had to send out an email apologizing to the world saying that I’m lack of experience in handling this customer. Further more, I had to cover my manager as well, damn!!!!!

Spot the odd

2007-04-30T08:58:00.000+08:00

Last night when Jojo and I were shopping at Jusco Queensbay Mall, we encounter this odd thing that I never encounter in other places before. Can you spot it!

I miss her

2007-04-28T01:23:00.000+08:00

I gave up my badminton game tonight just to have dinner with my so call galgal. I was out of town to Ipoh for 2 days for some work. Just back this afternoon, I miss her a lot, it was like didn't see her for donno how many years...

As usual, we ate at the super fast food corner, for just around RM17 for 2 persons. That was kinda cheap for us to eat around the town. Then later ask Master Eugene to join us for another round of "rojak" at Explanade. We order some fruits and 3 of us can barely finish it as we were just finished our dinner less than 30 minutes ago.

I didn't play much badminton lately as I seldom find the utmost desire in me to play it like last time, I donno why, may be after I done some damage to my cervical spine back in June last year. This had stop me from playing regularly for 6 months I guess.

Apple + Guava

2007-04-27T15:41:00.000+08:00

Got any idea what this is? Its a new type of fruit, mixing of apple and guava from Cameroon Highland. My colleagues bring them back and let some of us taste it in office. The taste, more like apple to me while others say got guava in it too. Whatever the taste is, I like both.

I scold the SecureParking guy

2007-04-23T11:05:00.000+08:00

This morning, a new SecureParking Indian guy wanted to collect fee from me again and of course I refuse to give him and instead I scold him for that. Below is the conversation:

Indian guy: Encik, 2 ringgit. {mister, 2 ringgit}
Meow: 2 ringgit untuk apa? {2 ringgit for what}
Indian guy: Parking.
Meow: Parking apa? {park what?}
Indian guy: Lu punya kereta. {your car}
Meow: Saya tak bawa kereta. {I didn’t drive any car}
Indian guy: Saya nampak awak turun dari kereta tu (pointing at my car). {I saw u getting out from that car}
Meow: Ini bukan kereta, ini meja (pointing at my car). {this is not car, it’s a table}
Indian guy: Meja??? {table???}
Meow: (pointing at the chairs and tables in front of coffee shop) Itu meja and kerusi ada bayar ka? {Are those tables and chairs paying?}
Indian guy: Saya tak tau. {I don’t know}
Meow: Saya boleh beri tau, tak ada, mereka tak bayar kerana u orang tak kutip! {I can tell you, they didn’t, they didn’t pay coz u people didn’t collect}

I start to walk toward my office and this Indian guy call me again.

Indian guy: Encik, 2 ringgit belum bayar lagi. {mister, you haven’t pay 2 ringgit}
Meow: Kan saya sudah cakap, saya punya tu meja, bukan kereta (I started to raise my voice as I speak to him). {I thought I already told u, that’s my table, not car}
Meow: Hang nak kutip apa lagi! *speak with angry look and louder voice* {what u wanna collect some more}

That guy get back to his motorbike and go away... 'ID-TEN-T'

Parking at my office area

2007-04-23T09:28:00.000+08:00

SecureParking is appointed to collect fees from car parking at my office area. But I only paid them once as later I found out that these parking fee collector always "eat snake" during lunch hour. Everyday after 12noon, you won't find them standing at the entrance collecting fees from the cars entering our office area anymore. I don't know where they go during that time but they will sure coming back after 2 or 3pm.

Instead of building tollbooths to collect fee and they were just standing there to block your car from entering. So, standing on my way and blocking my car from entering is not workable on me as I will just stop my car there and block the whole route. When they were eating snake during lunch hour, a lots of car sneak in and park there for free. Just in case you were wondering why car wanted to park here, it’s because Queensbay Mall is just within 100 meters from my office.

There are tables, chairs, dustbins which use by various shop’s owner to “booked” parking lot in front of their shop. One question in my mind, are they collecting fees from the coffee shop which put their tables and chairs at the parking lot? I once confronted the SecureParking guy and arguing with him about whether they collect fees from the coffee shop owner for “booking” parking lot. Guess what the guy told me, “I don’t know”. Another “ID-TEN-T”, he is the one collecting fees and yet he don’t know.

Parking lots are occupied by tables and chairs!

RED BOOK - KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

2007-04-19T11:14:00.000+08:00

Malaysian Bar Resource Centre or Badan Peguam Malaysia had come out with a Red book last year. This book is all about human rights in

Malaysia

when we were stop or arrest by policeman. Sometime the policeman misuses their rights against the innocent civilians, and if we do not know our rights we might fall into the trap of this law enforcer.

Recently one of my ex-colleague forwards a junk email to me and it’s about 2 policemen who misuse their power against a guy who was on the way home from office. Luckily this guy read this book before and uses them against these policemen. After reading this mail, I download this file (PDF format) and print it out and keep it inside my car’s compartment (just in case I come across the same situation).

Should you need to get this book, click here and then select the language you prefer.

Theft by stranger, owner give permission to enter house

2007-04-18T13:50:00.000+08:00

Someone send me a junk email yesterday regarding a theft case happen in the state where I was staying. Below is the contents from the email:

Just to share with you guys that my home in Bukit Mertajam was "broken into" this morning (6 April 2007). Although nothing much was stolen, just a purse with less than RM100 and 2 hand phones, but the fact that the thief entered my house in broad daylight with my mother's "permission" is truly shocking. Besides, my father, my sister and the day maid are also at home at the same time!

A young Chinese guy came to my house, identifying himself as my brother's friend, and wanting to invite my bro to his upcoming wedding. He came by motorbike and said he is waiting for his mom to come by car to give the invitation card. He said he is thirsty and tired and if he could come into the house to wait for his mom. So my mom opened the door and invited him in.

While my mom was in the kitchen, the thief grabbed the few things and escaped on his motorbike. Luckily, no one was harmed and no weapons were used to steal the stuffs. My family would have been more terrified if weapons had been used.

My mom has always been a very cautious and cynical person. The fact that the thief knew my brother's name and earned my mom's trust to open the door to a perfect stranger is very shocking and horrifying. I believe the thief got my brother's name and address from his secondary school year book.

I hope this mail will allow my friends to learn from this experience. Never trust anyone at all to enter your house and always keep the doors/gates locked. Please share this with your family and friends so no one will fall into the trap again.

Be extra alert these days when open your door and let stranger into your house!

LHDN e-Filing

2007-04-17T15:00:00.000+08:00

Malaysia’s tax payer can now submit their previous year’s income tax form through the online e-filing. This feature had been introduced to the public since last year. To be able to use it, user needs to have the PIN code which come together with their BE-6 form and then register in LHDN website. A step by step guide is provided to make sure user register with them correctly.

I receive my BE-6 form early this year and found this PIN included in the form. So, I open up the website and register with them. Everything seems ok during registration and installation of the digital certificate into my pc. Then I started to login as I wanted to declare my taxation for the year 2006. When it comes to the verifying password part, I get this message:

Run Time Error ‘5’: Invalid procedure call or argument

At first I thought it was my pc’s problem, then later I do the same thing in office and I get the same error again. I even ask around my friends and colleagues who had registered to use this feature, all of them also facing the same problem. Then I think to myself, what the heck, LHDN is encouraging us to submit our form online and yet this e-filing thing is not functioning properly. Are they fully tested their e-filing system before implementing it? Or they are using the public (us) to test it out for them. What an ‘I D TEN T’ (refer to my previous post for this definition) local government body.

'I D TEN T'

2007-04-17T11:03:00.000+08:00

'I D TEN T' = 'ID 10 T' = IDIOT

The new term I use to refer to someone who tries to do stupid things, talk non-sense or play foolish in front of me. I don’t usually call them idiot straight away as I might get back with an angry look if I do so. Instead, I will tell them “you are such an I D TEN T”. This not only will not stir their anger, but also will give rise to the person’s curiosity to know what this 'I D TEN T' means. They will keep coming back later for the meaning, and of course, I'm not 'I D TEN T' enough to tell them the actual meaning. What a marvelous way to scold people without having to offend them.

Cyril The Great Magician

2007-04-16T11:46:00.000+08:00

Cyril, a great magician who establish himself as one the hottest new stars in Japan and is taking the world by storm. Born and raised in Hollywood California to an Okinawan father and French-Moroccan mother, Cyril first encountered magic at age 6 when a family friend took him to Las Vegas to see a magic show. He was immediately hooked and began to practice magic everyday, often to the dismay of his parents and teachers. As a young teenager Cyril was accepted into the youth program at California's famous Magic Castle where, surrounded by his magic mentors, he began to gain skills that would help him to become a professional performer.

I have seen almost all his magic video clips and I keep some of it in my pc. Like the audience in the video, I'm pretty much impressed by his magic. If you would like to view his video clips, you can find it at YouTube website. You can order his magic show DVD at his official website too.

super fast food corner

2007-04-15T23:22:00.000+08:00

I had been thinking for the past 2 days on what should be my first post and finally I thought of this, which I call “super fast meal” seafood corner (name of the coffee shop is “Ghee Seng Tomyam Seafood” I think, my friends call it “pek tom yam”). It’s the fastest I've ever encountered in my whole life in Penang or should I say Malaysia. They start to serve your order (food) in just 75 seconds (that’s the fastest I clocked) and all your food will be at your table in just 3 minutes.

Imagine you have just finished ordering your meals and you have few friends, who join you for dinner at that place. You just started conversation with them and viola, your food is served. Sometimes we haven’t order our drinks yet and the food is already at our table. I got no idea how they prepare it so fast. One thing I am sure is, we like to go there to take dinner when we are very hungry (coz they serve faster than any other fast food outlet in the town) and the price is cheap too. 3 dishes cost less than 20 ringgit, sometime 30 ringgit if you order fish, vege and meat.

If you were wondering where this place is, it’s located somewhere near to ferry. I can’t tell the name of the place or the road name. But I can direct you to the place if you were coming out from ferry. Take a left turn (you can only turn left, if you insist on turning right, god bless you), go straight and you should be bypassing Shell on your left. Keep on going straight and about 50 meters before entering Coastal Highway, you should see an apartment on your left which you can also see a karaoke Cafe facing the main road. The coffee shop is just 2 shops next to this karaoke.
