Non-Batman Beam

This photo is taken when I was at Bandar Tasik Selatan KTM station, after coming back from Time Square. I managed to get a good shot of the beam. Just it was just lucky timing. Anyway, I did not see any Batman sign in the sky. No other signs were found in the sky in fact. Guess that was not a call for any superhero.

Superheroes have things to inform them about dangers. Batman has Gotham's beam, Superman has his long hearing sharp voices of people calling for help and Spiderman has his spider sense. Am I right for that?

Alright, guess it is time for me to stop crapping now. Next month will be a busy month for me, as I will be having final exams and also in search for my new house for next semester.......

Investigation Edition #2 - Stuart Little - Jungle Edition

Once again, I went to the jungle after hearing that a dead rat was found in a house. Once I arrived, there was really a dead rat, with little drips of blood on the floor. The house tenants claimed that the rat was bitten by a cat. One of the tenant heard the sound of a cat and in the house and noises. After snapping the photos, it was time for the young little friend to go.
The dead rat, dead with the eyes still open.

After a few days, there was another rat found, but this time it was alive and was hiding in one of the tenant's rooms. They set up a trap for the rat and it was caught. Douglas, one of the house tenants, fed the rat with some biscuits, and let him off late in the day, near a river.
The rat was helpless in the trap, as there was no way out until it was released. The rat seemed quite cute to me, although it is quite dirty.

This was the tenant who had his room invaded by the captured rat.
The picture was edited to reduce partial nuditiy.

They house tenants told me that they have numerous rat encounters in the house, and they have become their friends, as they never harm them. The best part was, they call them "Kawan", which is a Malay term for friends, but not Stuart Little though. Well, I guess the Stuart Little here is black, instead of white. Anyway, I wished them good luck with the rats as I left the house, in search for another case to investigate.

6 In An Hour?

The newspaper stated that there are 6 reported stroke cases every hour in Malaysia. Hmm, this seems serious. This means that there will be 52,560 people who will suffer from stroke in a year. The statistics shows that you or me can even be the 1 out of 52,560 victims yearly. This is really scary.

Anyway, what caused all this in Malaysia. I would say one of the most popular reason is the food. Mamak every week by most Malaysians, Roti Canai as breakfast, fast food like McDonalds and KFC eaten when shopping. Malaysia's food is no doubt delicious and mouth watering, but it can causes stroke. Knowing that my body health is already quite bad and the statistics is serious, I really ought to keep watch of my diet......

Rants on Fast Food #2 - KFC Small Chicken

My management group went to Semenyih's KFC today and we ordered the Family Feast 1. We were having fun eating all the food. After I finished one piece of chicken, and looked inside the box, I found a small drumstick. I was like WTF. Since when fast food shrunk so much? First it was McDonalds and now it is KFC. Next, will it be Pizzas? I am so going to reduce on fast food consumption. Chillies would be so much better.....

Investigate Edition #1 - BBQ - Semenyih Edition

Yesterday, the Investigate Edition (EDISI SIASAT - a Malaysian show) team went to the jungle of semenyih and found fire in one of the areas. Me, an undercover spy went to blend in with the crowd and went to find for more details on what it seemed like a Barbecue. With much preparation and my beloved camera phone, I joined the event, hoping to get a great story out of those who were involved.
The first person I saw, the man who started the fire for the barbecue. That explains why there was fire in the middle of Semenyih. They call him the King Scout.

Their security man, checking the laptop to see whether any police was coming to intrude the barbecue event. I had tried to peep at what he was watching and he claimed that it was not porn.

This was the master chef, all the way from USA. He was teaching the people in Semenyih new recipes I guess. Everyone event needs a good cook isn't it?

Two females attended the event. The one with the covered face, is known to be lucky, as she won 2 lucky draw prizes. Both of them - A Desperate Housewives fan.

Another female spotted in the secluded area. She is what they call a Doraemon fan, as she had a lot of Doraemon stuff. Besides that, her nickname includes Akun and Broga Drift Queen.

Ah, another chef spotted. Thank God he was poking the chicken with the stick, but not other stuffs.

Female agian. It seemed that this is a Selangor State Swimmer and she beat the guys in her university in swimming.

Poor animals on the barbecue pit. There was lamb, fish balls, chicken, fish, sausages, and the weird one, a brinjal.

They were kind enough to give me a group photo of theirs, before I left. Note: There was one male in the photo which I forgot to take, which is the black shirt guy with the peace sign. They call him Mr.Cheese, but I just prefer to call him Encik Keju.


It was a great experience to know them all from the event. This wraps up the first episode of Investigation Edition. I consider themselves clean, as in not violating Jabatan Alam Sekitar with the fire event. Episode 2 awaits.....

Virginia Tech Massacre

The Virginia Tech Massacre was really scary when you think about it. First of all, I want to send my condolences to all the families of the victims.

The tragedy shocked quite a number of people, I would say, as it is the worst shootout in US history. After hearing about the tragedy by my parents, my chances of going to Work and Travel USA next time will be event lesser. But anyway, the tragedy is really a sad one and there were not many things about the shooter, on why did he do it.

I did some surfing through the next, trying to keep up to date with the event. The website here has the two plays which was written by the shooter in class, and his plays really shocked his classmates and lecturers. The first play, Richard McBeef is really scary, but the other Mr. Brownstone was not that violent.

I really pity everyone the victims and also the families of the victims. I found this video in YouTube and it is really nice.

Morning Inspiration

This post is written in Notepad by me on my laptop when I did not have any internet connection.

I seem to have trouble sleeping just now, as I slept once I reached home at around 10 in the night. Woke up around 1 in the morning and tried to go back to sleep, but I just ended up turning around my bed here and there. Probably a lot of thing suddenly struck at my mind and I do not seem to be able to go to sleep. I was awake since 2.00 AM. So here I am now, 6.42AM still awake since I last slept. I watched Stranger Than Fiction just now. Although it is not a comedy movie, which I thought it would be, I truly enjoyed it, especially words used by the author to write her book.

Anyway, I am also staying up, not really staying up though as it is because I could not go back to sleep, to type an E-mail and to do my MacroEconomics Assignment and World Economy Assignment. Norah Jones's song is also playing next to me, to keep me comfort, and I can hear birds chirping, which is not part of the song. The sky looks like bluish purple to me, through a curtain and a glass panel.

And yes, I am blogging from my house, by typing into the notepad and save it so that I can upload it later as I am inspire at 6 in the morning to start writing.....

PC Fair April 2007

I went to PC Fair on Friday with Sean, Sze Wei, Dennis, Jian Yea, Chong and Gan. Quite a tiring outing though and I took 3 hours to reach back to my place due to technical problem experienced by KTM. Before I went, I have 2 things which I have targeted - 4GB pendrive and 120GB external 2.5 inch harddisk. Had a problem searching for 4GB Kingston pendrive as only 2 shops were selling them, because many of them decided to keep the pendrive as they predicted the prices will go up. At last I do get what I wanted and it was quite satisfied. That was my first PC Fair in KL. Anyway, the pictures will speak....
From left to right: Dennis, Sze Wei (PK) and Chong.

Speaker section.

SONIC GEAR Products.

Samsung cool TV. Gears of War is being played on it.

Asus's Lamborghini laptop. It was valued at more than RM 10,000. Nice.

Damn KTM, they had to fix something, which caused a havoc.

Got what I wanted. 4GB pendrive and got 2 Kingston free gifts.

This is my external harddisk casing.

This is how it looks like. The harddisk is already inside. Yeah 120 GB ! Rock...

Raffles Lucky Draw

There was a Raffles Draw (Lucky Draw) at my university yesterday. A lot of people turned in hoping to win prizes. One ticket costed RM 1.00. I only bought one actually, just to try my luck to see how lucky am I . There are people who buy up to 50 tickets. Scary shit.

Anyway, everyone was hoping to win and obviously I did not win anything. The organisers (Student Association Committee) were happy to see the number of tickets which they sold. I guess everyone were happy. My friend, Tan Su Lyn bought just 5 tickets and she won 2 prizes - a handphone and a RM 50.00 voucher.

Lucky.......
Haha. Pictures of few of my friends during the draw....

This is Tan Su-Lyn with her LG handphone prize.

Rants on Fast Food #1 - Expensive McDonald Burger

The prices of McDonald Burgers here are getting really expensive, especially Filet o' Fish and McChicken. Filet o' Fish was only RM 4.00 last time and now it had went above RM 5.00 . The price is really expensive now. That is why now I will normally order Filet o' Fish Chicken burger and McEgg or perhaps Banana Pie.

That is why they are giving all the coupons lately to promote people to buy them. Anyway, if prices increased, the portion should stay the same. Check the burger below out and you will see that the portion has shrink, and it is just a slice of cheese....
This is what advertisement showed for Filet o' Fish.

This is what I got for buying Filet o' Fish. Look at the little cheese given.

Finding Forrester (2000)

Source from http://www.impawards.com/2000/posters/finding_forrester.jpg.

I just finished watching Finding Forrester (2000), a movie with a message of the importance of friendship and always follow your dream. At last, I managed to watch the full movie, as I have only managed to watch the middle of the movie onwards last time.

The movie is truly inspiring to me, as it shows that true friendship certainly does not take age, skin colour and the background of a person into account. All it takes is being there for your friend when he or she is in need. Besides, I love the way the movie uses writing skills as a background plot which inspire to write more as I really miss my inspiring moments since my first blog.

Does a blog full with love desires attract people or was it just because Friendster kept friends updated everytime I update my blog? Or was it pure inspiration which came from my heart during my depressing moments which attract all the readers?

I do not know, as none of my friends actually told me what was nice to read in my first blog back then. Anyway, I am here now to convert this blog again to place for pure inspiration and I know few friends of mine who blog, who inspire me to do so.

I give the movie a 9 out of 10. Pure inspiration....

Technological Malfunction

There seem to be a lot of my friends' things spoiled this few day. One of my friend's Acer laptop has a lot of blackholes on them. Looks cool in a way, but irritating cause you cannot see where are things.

Another one would be a pendrive problem. It seems some virus has infected his pendrive and the pendrive tend to claims itself as a 20GB storage device. Check it out below, it's true. 20 GB....
Blackholes on Acer laptop.


20 GB pendrive. Speechless....

Bad Health Condition

There was an event in my university today which had few companies came to promote cosmetics and health products. It was basically a female event, but there was this booth, Lumine, where they had a free test on your health. It will tell you your body age and how is your blood circulation. Basically I just have to put my finger and they will test it for me. Of course I was not sure whether the result would be true or not, but it was free.
Lumine was the company's products.
This was the result of the test.


After getting the result, the lady explained to me about my health. Artery seems to be hardened and my heart seems weak. That made me realised that it was partially true, as my heart hurts sometimes, since I was quite young. But I was not sure whether was that a muscle pain or whether it was my heart, but this clarify it.

As for artery hardening, the lady said I should not play heavy sports, as my blood vessels might not take it. I feel that it is kind of true also, as every time I played basketball, since few years back, there will be this stage where I start to get dizzy and my vision feels whitish a little.

The last part was my favourite. The lady claims that my body age is 40 years as calculated by using the result of the test and some formula. Ah, I was quite happy actually when I heard of this, as I did tell my housemates feel months back that I predict that I would die around late 20s or early 30s. That result seems to prove me partially right I guess.

All I can say is that my health condition is due to poor diet, especially with the intake of fast food always, lack of exercise (my friends know this) and of course my depression period since 2004. However, I have a positive mind which is, if my prediction of my death is correct, I hope you all who read this will always remember me as the person who had predicted the time he is going to die.....
