Too much demand

Human is a very bitchy species, you give them 10 cents, they ask for 1 dollar, you give them tiger prawn, they ask for abalone... the chinese got a proverb called "得寸进尺", which literally means give them an inch and they ask for a feet (measurement).

Lets start a story of company "M", it's a pioneer company, set in the peaceful Industrial Area, overseeing a tranquil river lake. Company initially subsidizing RM1.50 per meal but the employee complaint that the food sux (because these people previously had the luxury of choosing 8 different caterer, now it's down to 1 and they complain the food is monotonous and sux).

OK loh, management understand the plight, requested a reformation of caterer...

1 month later, a new caterer came in, it's from an established source and the food is 2 fold better than previous caterer. And yet employees complain that despite the good food, it's expensive and lack depth (whatever that means). Management listen to them, discussed with big big boss and reform the caterer again....

This time in the form of FREE food from morning till afternoon, all the way until the night. Give a special instruction to the caterer to serve only 'nutritious food'. It's by far the best food benefit in the region, and yet today, I heard this complaint...

"Aiyo, today I didn't finish my food... give so much to eat, sure will get fat 1 lahh, die loh, will die of diabetes and heart disease loh..."
"This Marigold juice drink no good 1, less vitamins compare to xxx...."

I don't know really how is it to feed human and to make them happy, if so bad then just go OUT and eat lah, yet these bunch of stingy kiasu people eat EVERYDAY inside the cafeteria, and they won't stop complaining....

How lah you tell me?

1st Bad Encounter with my neighbour

Tonite mark the night of my first encounter with a bastard neighbour. To make it short it was 10:30pm at night and my parents are driving my car back to BM, along with KY who joined us for dinner. While on the way out of my residential compound, there was a tight road where cars parked both sides and only 1 car is allowed to pass (no problem to me cause I understand we indeed have not many places to park our cars).

So KY move out first, with my dad driving behind, I was about to walk back and then I saw another car coming from the opposite direction, causing a deadlock where no car could move either way, thought of help smoothen the traffic flow, I asked the opposing car (Camry) to goto the side so that my dad can pass through.

Picture paint a thousand words

I politely ask him to goto the side so that the deto can overtake KY's car and lead the way back, but that fellow wind down the window, and said:

"Eh, that guy goto the side lah, I have no problem waiting here the whole night, as I already reached my house d (made some finger movement which I could not identify due to the night)"

This I quote 100%, no added spice or whatsoever. Then my dad, tired of the commotion, squeeze into the small space on the left to let that sunnavabiatch CB PKM KNS KLK Camry passed. Just so to prove his victory, he wind down his window while passing the red charade... Nia ma, what he try to do? If he say or threaten my dad, I don't know what I'll do to that bastard (or his car)...

Then I go home, pondering the incident, which I concluded that BOTH sides can actually give way and we can live a muhibbah life. But what I despise is the fucking way the bastard act. Like he drive a bloody Camry he can own the world like that. I dowan to disclose his race or ethic group here cause I dowan to be charge with discrimination, but what I can say is his skin is massively darker in colour compare to malay, and have foul body odour.

Dei macha, if you think you can be lansi and own the road because u're rich and drive a big car, then you're wrong! Fucking bastard. Your 16" Goodyear tyre will still cost you RM180 per piece you fricking moron.

Having said that, I remember Jeebs told me b4 the *ahem*Indian*cough* in our residential area are pretty similar in style. I wonder whether I will see more of these....

My webdota no more banned :)

Phew, luckily after some luck my account was released from the banned list. So no more hoo-haa over the incident. The morale of the story is be a good boy, ignorant is bliss and it's OK if you multi but don't use the same password for both accounts.

My webdota got banned

I have been wasting my precious brain power to overcome some of the hardest online web game for the past few days, thanks to my friend Jeebs who introduced me this game and Neebs who play along and we joint a clan and was happily wasting turns and mana....

[10:30am] I was happily playing my ranked 160 webdota using my beloved Ogre Mage.

[10:31am] Need to goto production line to show the vendor the piece of equipment to be fabricated.

[10:46am] After hastily show the vendor the site, wanted to quickly return to office coz I may have died after leaving my hero alone for so long

[10:48am] On the way to office, colleague pull me in for spec. update

[11:45am] Time off, check webdota from the lab...

o.o WTF!

It means either I kena ban, or someone had banned me from the game (if you can read english it basically meant that). Not sure whether this is a dream or not, I go and check out the ban list as the page suggested, what I saw sealed my doom and any hope within it.

Shit, my account, my FirstLove... gone, forever imprinted in the banned list. Then I scrolled down in hope for... confirmation

Life can not get anymore shitter than this.

Basically no web-dota for me for the rest of my life as both my email has been banned.
Cannot believe my luck, apparently the reason I got ban is because I multi (whatever that means)

Invisible oppression

Continue from the sci-fi Zchi civilization story, due to the complacent way of the Zchi's life, the Tenbo's no longer respect the status-quo of the original treaty and now they comploit for more possession. There had been occasional racist remarks which undermine the lifestyle and way of the Zchi's population, which includes the questioning on why certain regions Zchi is living well while conveniently forget that 90% of the total region of Alysiam were in fact controlled by the Tenbo clan.

Pathetic that during the formation of Alysiam.... Tenbo, Zchi and other clan agreed to be all equal, however Tenbo were seen slowly occupying and creeping in to dominate the majority of the power, administration and land, now they wanted to squeeze what's left of the Zchi somemore.

With the recent awareness made by the media, many Zchi politicians begin to voice concern and loud for a move to establish live telecast screening of the politician assembly so that to be fair to every nation of Alysiam and spare the politicians any benefit of doubt. This movement met with opposition stating that whatever discussed in the assembly is within internal affair and do not affect others, and to begin with, the action to broadcast live does not really address the situation...

The actual fact that during the assembly, racist issue is still being discussed time and time again, and there are no significant deterrent to stop these from further happening. People are looking at a way to calm the rage, not fixing the concern.

Oppression will continue, majority of the Zchi clan will continue to suffer slowly, and only time will tell when this will be bring up to the next level.

Singapore business trip

Got a mission which is to check out a demonstration of a machine which my company will be buying soon, so off I go to this small country by SQ in a Boeing 777. To make matter worse I need to complete it in 1 day (not that it's that difficult to perform) but tedious if want to squeeze the whole agenda into 1 day. My friend 'Sak' was kind enough to pick me up from Changi and offered to share his bed (actual fact it's more like I get to hijack his bed).

Changi is a very colourful and nice airport, can say beat our local KLIA coz ours looks pretty much like an oversized airport with less 'meat' in the scenery.

Anyway since I'm slightly 'early' in reaching SG, I decided to pop into the once a year International Motorshow which is happening at SunTec convention center. This is the 2nd time I'm been to SG motorshow and this certainly looks the same as my previous visit, the car list seemed to be updated but basically the booth and placement are more or less the same. The first car that meet the audience is a Mazda RX-8, standard car with alot of hype. Nothing much here so I move on....

Next in the line that caught my attention is the Fiat Punto, new edition !!! This car basically no big deal, cheap crap with lots of electronic gimmick, but this one comes with an electronic SUNROOF !!! For those who are not familiar with sunroof, this is actually god's best invention in the world for human mankind. Coz it's ideal for autumn and spring, romantic during meteor shower, and definately cool during drag race. Fiat goes one step further and gave us the ultimate sunroof that any human had ever seen. The following is the evolution of sunroof from basic till the latest punto's !

The latest Punto's sunroof actually goes beyond the normal civic type and further drag the sunroof all the way back, 2x better than the normal Charade sunroof!!!

Man I want this car ! Dunno when the halfcut will start arrive Malaysia.

Then I continue to walk around, found those normal cars like the Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari Fiorano..etc, then I reach Subaru's counter, maybe because I'm too handsome, there's a guy name Russ Swift who wanted to take pictures with me, along with 8 others Subaru gals... after the event I went and check out and then realize that guy is the guy who hold the Guiness World Record for :

• Parallel parking in tightest space
• J turn in tightest space
• Fastest do-nutsOh ok, one of those crazy guy who did those funny stuff around the road....

Continue down the road there are those Nissan 350Z, racing spec, road spec, those different versions, then Honda Civic, Integra.... then a nice chick, so I go and take more pictures with them to make them feel less boring...

Then me and my friend left the motorshow coz the rest of the cars are those Toyota Vios, Altis, Sunny, Imprezza...etc which is nothing much to see. This motorshow major items are alot of concept cars, which won't be making their debut on the road, which technically useless cause I won't be able to smoke them on the road anyway...

Noticed that Honda step actually went backwards and use Charade's back cover design :)

After motorshow, we went for dinner at Tony Roma's steak house just off Orchard road. 8/10 for my baby rib experience. Can say not bad lah.

I think the baked potato tasted the best, but the baby rib also cannot be forgotten, sigh....

Reach home very tired, straight sleep d.

D2, my friend need to go to work OT, don't know why people wanted to work on Sundays, in the end also have to use his hard earn money to treat me dinner and supper anyway :P So early morning 10am I off to take their transport bus and MRT to Orchard ! Yay, shopping time. The street is full of Indons (or is it Philippines maid?). Geli loh, so many of those people hanging around Orchard Road.... very little nice gals to see, maybe all stay at home or go other shopping area :(

They got these street ball for gals going on, watched for a few minutes, no big deal so I cabut, checked out Paragon, Takashimaya, Kinokuniya :P, and those adjecent shopping complexes. Run the whole mile and only landed myself with few shopping clothes only, including some for my gal's. So basically that's it, total shopping duration : 9 hours (11am - 8pm). But of course among there got lunch and 2 hours book reading at Kinokuniya :P

Luckily some of the shops already started to have December Christmas sales in advance, else I will be struck with very expensive goods to look at. Speaking of Christmas, the streets are already decked with santa's magic, it's been long since I celebrated Christmas in Singapore, damn I miss those days.

Nite time meet up with Sak, he brought me to Sakae Sushi off Yishun and seeing that this is his treat, I ordered a Sashimi Bento, heheh, sure must hantam him kao kao mah. After the dinner, made a challenge to ourself that we could down a bowl of Swensen's Earthquake volcano 8 scoops ice cream, and so we did. Later we call off the next challenge of finishing a set of burger king coz we might not be able to walk home if we proceed.

After reach home pack up all my stuff and ready to goto 'work' the following day.

The following day is a plain working schedule with machine demonstration, evaluation, data recording, lunch, closure and then leave Singapore. Lunch is nice at Crystal Jade Restaurant which menu similar like 'Kim Gary', 'Wong Kok' (Chinese cuisine style). The total set lunch for 6 person only cost SGD230, which I think consider ok for their food.

This trip let me know alot more on fact in life. Apparently working in Singapore really is getting good for my friend, coz he practically bought himself a flat screen LCD TV, a high end DSLR with complimentary lenses, mobile phone, ipod...etc, maybe I should start looking at other part of the world ;)

Many thanks to you 'Sak' for the hospitality rendered.

Stone age colleague

Cannot tahan lah today, so must blog this down first before I break down and laugh. Talked about a colleague of mine – Porda, the other day regarding the job load allocation technique which pisses me off, and today he made my day again. Time is morning, I’m still experiencing my morning blue and systematically addressing my job work and suddenly he popped out behind my back and ask the one million dollar question

"Eh, you all always play those chatting program.... How you all chat 1 har? My computer doesn't seem to have"

Fooh… I went speechless for like 2 seconds. Then I tell him politely “You download it from the internet”. He ask me how, so because today I’m a very good guy, so I teach him how to use google and what to search for…

Then another one million dollar question

"I want to use our company email to register for MSN should be ok right? They should be able to register all types of email one right?"

Again, speechless for another 2 seconds before courtesy and politeness told me I should answer him again. I say “No lah, you need to have hotmail or yahoo mail to register 1…

The final one million dollar question

"I don't have hotmail or yahoo mail wor, how?"

Nia ma pom pom eh, want me to teach him how to sign up for hotmail and yahoo or not ?! KNN, bugger already 35+ years old d somemore don’t know all these crap! How can these ppl survive I really don’t know, even my technicians and operators also know how to use MSN and yahoo to chat with me, this is a fricking SENIOR engineer. I ought to take over his place, in fact, I think I will just do that, since I kinda like his job. I understand there is a lot of pathetic people in this world, but up to this point is really world record type already.

Nuff said I have enough dosage for today so I will be avoiding him for like 2 hours, these days I have seen kids with serious attitude problem coz they play too much cyber games, but this is like the other side of extreme point.... culture shock to me man. I found the one and only guy in my company who doesn’t know how to use a chatting program. It’s rare but it happens

Ulcer party

Not sure if it's because of the trip to Singapore, but there has been alot of ulcers popping out from my lips... I registered 3 fully riped ulcers (meaning they are the most painful phase). Not because I dowan to drink water but the water price in Singapore is so expensive.... blardy Malaysia government overcharging the water price to Singapore! So there you go, one of the reason I have to suffer, because of my own G.

Really can't believe that, sounds like I slapped myself. And these multiple ulcers also affect my mood, my sleep, my speech, my thinking.... I think I need more sleep. Must be due to the jet lag I experienced from Singapore back to Penang. SIA air stewardess also not pretty 1 this trip.... *sigh*
