2008 Petronas Hari Raya Ad

I have always liked the Petronas Ads during celebrations such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and Merdeka. However, seems like this year the 2008 Petronas Hari Raya Ad seems lacking a bit. Somehow, it's not up to expectation. 2008 Petronas Hari Raya Ad There is this Wimax Hari Raya Ad that I think also from Petronas. At least I think so. It has the same Petronas-ish feel. I liked the Wimax version one better. Maybe to each, his or her own preferences. 2008 Wimax Hari Raya Ad There, enjoy.

Donation is NOT Corruption

CORRUPTION ? Where? It's DONATION lah. When people donate, it is rude to refuse and the important thing is that when people donate, you HAVE to accept the donation. What? Don't believe ah? Haven't you read the news " Perak Umno: Act on men who admitted having illicit sex "?? From the Star Online wor. A MSN Chat with a friend. Anon :    He had been quoted as saying “what is important is we did not ask for the women. He supplied them to us. If people sedekah (donate), don’t you want to accept the sedekah?” http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/9/25/nation/2115029&sec=nation  Cometh:    Ohhh, it's donate rupa rupa nyer. Say earlier mah, then that is very alright. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Anon:   People donate to me, what can I do? Its rude to reject?   Imagine you give RM1 to a begger and he throw it back at you Cometh: The beggar of course is at fault here clearly  Ppl donate it is impolite to refuse  Corru

Latest Oil Price in Malaysia

As of this post, The latest price would be: RON 97 : RM 2.45 per litre RON 92 : RM 2.30 per litre Diesel : RM 2.40 per litre Heard that it's the lowest price the "Gah-Var-Men" can lower wor. Hmmm, strange. I am pretty sure that it should be lower than that since the world oil price has dropped significantly. Anyway, reduction in the price is better than no reduction at all I would say. At least better than the waiver for electrical bills that are not more than RM 20 a month. Give RM 20 waiver for ALL electrical bills lah.

Keeping Fit

Image
Definitely there is something wrong when the bathroom scale you step on cracks under your weight.  93kg I think I am the cause of the crack, I can't really remember. I guess it is the self-denial mode kicking in. Anyway, that crack must have "cracked" when I am nearing the 100kg mark few months ago.  (Yep, stopped going to the gym rakyat for quite some time already. ) I must say that I am making quite an improvement since the scale cracking days but just to make things clear, I don't have the fitness mentioned before and the waist device thing doesn't really work. Not working for me at least. No 6 packs. Just one big pack combined together but let there be hope, I am pretty sure the 6 packs are hiding somewhere beneath the layers and layers of fat. Anyway, this post will be an indicator for the starting of my experiment. One month from now and you will see the result, hopefully there will be a significant decrease in my weight. Being healthy is top priority

Malaysian National Service aka PLKN

*** The source for most of the information regarding Malaysian National Service used in this article is taken from Wikipedia and PLKN . Why? First, Wikipedia is considered the most referred web portal in the world for people searching for information and the PLKN is the offical website. Second, since the whole world or shall I say, majority of Internet users around the world will be able to access Wikipedia and PLKN, it is of utmost importance that the information in Wikipedia and PLKN is correct and not some misguided facts. Third, blame Wikipedia and PLKN if the information is incorrect NOT yours truly. MMMkay... Oh yeah, the mastery of the art of "Tai Chi". May the force be with you. *** The Malaysian National Service aka the PLKN which is the abbreviation for "Program Latihan Khidmat Negara" or literally translated as National Service Training Program or just known as NS, is a compulsory 3 months military service program for teenagers that started in December 2

Watcha Gonna Do?

*** Been reading up on the ISA being used to arrest people, so called in the name of "justice" and "peace". Hence, yours truly fire up photoshop and just simply make something that is not relevant to the issue. Even if it is, I am pretty sure it is purely coincidental and is not related to the living or the dead for that matter.  ***  Watcha Gonna Do?

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2008

Image
Mid-Autumn Festival aka MoonCake festival aka Zhong Qiu Jie is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The means, it will fall on Sunday, 14th September 2008 of the "Ang Moh" calendar aka Gregorian Calendar. Mid-Autumn Festival aka MoonCake Festival aka Zhong Qiu Jie is the time for family gatherings over mooncakes and some lanterns appreciation. On this day or in this case night, the full moon will be very bright. Well, it is suppose to be bright due to the fact that normally on Mid-Autumn nights, there will be sort of like moon appreciating time. Aside from moon watching, traditionally people eat moon cakes outside under the moon and carry brightly colorful lanterns/tang lungs. There are two stories about the Mid-Autumn Festival. The first is about Chang Er and Hou Yi and the second is about Chinese revolution against Mongols. Lets start with the first story. According to legend, there are 10 suns in ancient China and the heat scorc

Bratwurst aka Sausage

Image
 ***  One of my favorite food is the hotdog aka sausage and when I saw the Bratwurst aka sausage at a local supermarket, I bought it although with the price of one packet I can buy around 16 packets of normal chicken hotdogs aka sausage. Guess I am a sucker for sausages aye?  Alright, that came out wrong. I assure you that I am very straight. Damn straight. Ok? *** Bratwurst is actually derived from German as its the Germans who made it first. It is made of pork and veal though there might be more varieties now since not only Germans make it.  So, I got myself a packet of 6 pieces Bratwurst that costs me around RM35. Like I said, food is my weakness. Major weakness. My kryptonite. Now you know how to defeat me. Have mercy, please. Bratwurst 5 pieces Bratwurst in its full naked glory There are a few methods on how to cook your Bratwurst. Roast or Grill is up to you. The Bratwurst that I have bought is actually cooked already then frozen for sale. Longer lasting I would think.  Anyw

Reading List: Blog I Stalk

Image
There is a new pretty nifty feature in Blogger. Redundant yes but still quite nifty for those who are using Blogger since you log in to the dashboard almost everyday or even few times in a day. Admit it. I know you do. Anyway, to use this I think you will have to use the Blogger Draft or maybe not. Blogger Draft is actually the same with the original Blogger but the difference is that you get to try out new features before it is released. In a way you can consider yourself to be the guinea pig. So, back to the topic. There is a new feature which is the Reading List just below the dashboard where you can add blogs to stalk and even notify them that you are stalking them. Cool. Now, who needs RSS? Huh? No, you still needs RSS as it stalk the blogs you want to stalk by getting the RSS. So there. RSS needed. That is where the redundant part comes in since you can subscribe to the blogs RSS and read em in the reader of your choice. So, pretty redundant. However, this reading list featu
