Bada . . . bada . . . bada . . . bada . . . bada . . . bada . . . DUM (Yes, drum roll sounds exactly like that) - CINDY TEY - The first Malaysian Dreamgirl - Cindy Tey ~~CONGRATS~~ Now, apparently a lot of people are shocked that Cindy wins the show and not Hanis. Clearly, among the Top 3, Hanis is the popular choice. However, popularity alone does not convert to votes. SMS is what counted and clearly in this case, Cindy got the most SMS votes that results from &

Malaysian Dreamgirl

Alright, I confess that I have been following the progress of Malaysian Dreamgirl since Day 1 it is open for viewing. From Episode 1 up to Episode 16 where they have trimmed away 9 girls out of 12 girls and left 3 girls for the grand finale. The 12 girls Back Row (standing)- From Left- Nadia, Jean, Eyna, Adeline, Alison, Natasha Middle Row (sitting)- From Left- Cindy, Fiqa, Valerie, Ringo Front Row (sitting)- From Left- Jay, Hanis There are 8 photo shoot from Episode 1 to Episode 16. With almost every photo shoot, the girls are trimmed off according to the SMS vote by the public. Now, that got me thinking. We have to be realistic here. The only reason why reality shows are so popular nowadays is that it is very profitable. Well, not only reality show but almost everything are profit oriented. Anyway, my point is that if you are rich then you CAN be the next Malaysian Dreamgirl if you want to. It is after all based on the number of SMS votes and SMS costs money. So, by putting enough mo

Uprightness

Just when I am beginning to lose hope in humanity, I met someone who makes me believe that there are still some "light" left after all. Not extinguished but just dimmed with fragile intensity trying to once again shine brightly. I went to the bank just now and forget to take my bankcard which is left at the ATM machine. After that, I went to a bakery nearby and after paying for the breads, a guy around the age 30 approached me and handed over to me a bankcard and says, "Just now I saw you left your bankcard at Maybank ATM". Luckily there is someone who is honest and kind enough to pass it back to me. I must be getting older or something. Getting more and more absent minded lately. Believe me when I say there are people who have no integrity, no honesty, and plain backstabber. There are also people who denied ever saying what have been said even though there are 5 witnesses that heard it in person at the same time. All those people will definitely have bad karma. R

Tora and Ding Dang

Well, this brings back memories. Childhood memories that is. Passed by Everise (Near 7th Mile) , and saw the two things from my childhood days that I thought have already phase out or out of distribution already. The Tora and Ding Dang. Tora Ding Dang I remembered the young naive me used to keep pestering my mum to buy Tora or the Ding Dang. Not because of the chocolate balls inside (not exactly taste good) but because of the different toys one gets. Hence, I smiled when I saw the Tora and Ding Dang at the shelves. Without even thinking what others (my colleagues) would think, I grab a Tora and a Ding Dang and march to the cashier. Yes, a macho big guy like me buying some kiddy stuff. (Standing at 6 feet and around 95kg- Yep, definitely consider myself a BIG guy. I am not FAT. I am BIG-BONED. Muhahahahaha.) Next, some more pictures. Choco in Tora Choco in Ding Dang Magnetic Fishing Set in Tora Bubble Blowing Set in Ding Dang Right. Now I can blow some bubble while fishing at the s

Big Apple Donut and Coffee at The Spring Kuching

Image
Still doesn't get why is it that there are so many people willing to stand and queue for so long just to buy the donuts. I know that being the first in Sarawak contribute to that BUT still I don't get why. The donuts are not THAT exceptionally nice. For yours truly, it does not leave a lasting impression after consuming it. Nothing special leh. Ini macam ada sedap kah? Too overrated I would say. I heard the Krispy something, a fellow donut competitor is better and very delicious. Never tried before but better don't make me disappointed when I tried it someday. Overall, Big Apple donuts are not THAT bad but definitely I won't be eating it often. Once in a while is still ok. The taste mah mah tei jek mah. One thing for sure is that I will never queue up to buy the donuts. Not in this lifetime.

Brand and Brain Matters

***Notes*** Yours Truly am asked to be the guest blogger at Brain O Brand . The following is the post made at Brain O Brand by yours truly. Let’s face it. In todays materialistic world, people are often judged by the brands that they wear and use. You would be categorized in the upper class type of “people”. Standards yo. Up until to the extent that you are only successful if you are practically breathing branded stuff. The reason for this is because branded stuff are more than often expensive. The more expensive the stuff the more well off you are perceived. People wear, eat, and use expensive stuff to be perceived as upper class people and of a higher standard compared to the rest of the mortals. Undeniably that some brands definitely have quality associated with the premium price charged. However, more than often there are better alternatives with lesser known brands with much cheaper price tag. The so called upper classed people would not even consider the better alternative just b

Ching Ming

Ching Ming or Qing Ming has already passed being that it is observed/set annually on the 4th or 5th of April. Which also means that this is the why-the-fuck-are-you-posting-old-stuff kind of posting. Ching Ming is when the Chinese would go and clean up their ancestors tomb/grave like a festival like that and YES, they need to set a date specifically for all of that where there would be lots of so called "filial" people cleaning up the graves. Don't even get me started on the traffic jam that results from the process. Not only cleaning but also offerings to their ancestors in form of paper cars, maids, bungalows, food, and so forth. Some sort like New Year celebration for the dead. Almost. Why is it that people have to specifically go on that specific date or even why is there a date that is set for ancestor grave cleaning? Want to show to people that they are filial mah. They can just set a family date where all members of the family go to the ancestors' grave and cl

The Silent Treatment

Image
***Got this in my email. I modified a bit and added picture. Hilarious bah*** One day a man and his wife were having some arguments at home and were giving each other the silent treatment the whole day. (Silent treatment means not talking with each other- in case you don't know) Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him up at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight as the wife always wake up early. The man do not want to be the first to break the silence as that would mean that he would LOSE. So he thought of a clever way so that he would not have to break the silence and at the same time will be able to inform his wife. He left the piece of paper where he knew she would find it when she wakes up. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife did not wake him up, when he notice that there is a piece of paper by the bed. He saw this The mor

Diversification

Image
Diversification is to take or get more of something in order to reduce risks and gain benefits. Business wise, diversification is a risk management technique that enables user to enjoy lower risks and higher returns. For example, by diversification, investors can reduce risks and have higher return yield because of the variety of investments in a portfolio compared to just a single investment which will have higher risk and lower return compared to the basket of investments. The following is purely deduced from the definition of diversification and it may or may not be wrong. Now, done with the theoretical explanation. Lets do some application of the theory to real life issues. In particular, adultery and polygamy. Adultery and polygamy is not uncommon. Heck, I know quite a few people who have at least 3 girlfriends or boyfriends. Surprised? I don't think so. I think most of you would know what I am talking about anyway. =p However, it can't be denied that there are loyal sing
