Blog, blog, blog

Am really suprise and shock of the volume of bloggers traffic in Kuching Blogger. There are so many bloggers out there that make my blog seems like 'p<1.000' a.k.a not significant at all.

That is still alrite but it would seems rather odd to me that even kids as young as 12 years old nowadays already start blogging. Went to my little cousin blog and see some of her links. Well, all KIDS blog. Like Yen Ting, Alexander and etc. Make me look so old.

Not that to say that they are not good or stuff, but rather seems like they are more advanced than an old guy like me. And i'm not that old gua. only 24 lar... But still seems like old guy already when see these kids blog.

I remember during my 'younger' days, we only know of Nintendo, and at that time Playstation seems like an unaffordable stuff to us. We only have our 'kites' and 'brick game' to be say 'technological advanced' to us. Not to say Handphone as well cos we want have that expensive thing for us. Even rich kids don have it, not to say us anymore.

Well, the generations have change and all we have is our sweet memories of the old days back in school and playing in the muds with our buddies.

Anyway, I'm Cool~~

You're Definitely Cool~~~

Snake

Saw a snake today in campus corridor on the way to FEB main office in old campus. Quite long, size of the body around my thumb and the length around one meter++. Ew...... I think the snake come out when all the students went back for holiday. No one will disturb it bah.
Well, our campus have a lot of wild animals and reptiles. Ha ha.. That would be a good attraction to people from outside, i think. Ha ha.....

I'm Cool~~

Dabai

Saw some writing in a local newspaper today on a local fruit only found in Sarawak, particularly mainly in Sibu, Sarikei and Kapit area. It's called 'dabai' or 'Sibu olive' by some foreigners. but we locally normally called it as dabai.

It's a type of small fruit, olive look-a-like fruits, that have rich creamy and a bit sour taste in it. One can't cook it just like that. It was normally prepare in two ways. Soak it in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes till the fruit is a smooth and eatable or put in under heavy sun to make to dry and smoothen the fruit before consuming it. and normally we just dip it in some salt for flavoring.


Some local restaurant dry this fruits and preserve it. They normally used it to cook a local type of fried rice - 'Nasi Goreng Dabai'. Nice fried rice that i personally like a lot.

Sematan and Palm Beach

Went to Sematan Again few weeks ago. Well, these pictures been a while and now just remember to post it in this Blog.

They have one of the most beautiful beaches in Kuching Area. Well, at least a decent one and that's why it attract me to go back there for the beach. I love beach.

And the houses there were built next to the beach in the town. Well, a covered place. So the residents there have nice viewS in late afternoon > Sunsets. That i like.

And of course, resorts. For those who don wish to spend too much money on traveling but wanna have nice vacation + relaxation, 'Palm Beach Resort' would be a good recommendation for those beach lovers > like me.

It's a stoner dude. I love this place. Wont stop coming here.

Advertisement

Well i don know much about the advertising code in Malaysia yet. Well as a researcher i should have a copy of that code for references as one day i may need it for references. Ha ha...

OK, here the thing. I thought that Malaysia Government have banned all the advertisement on Cigarette, Beers and Liquor. But see this in a local news paper last Sunday.
The question is, are they allowed to do that or there is a loophole somewhere. Gods know.

Side Dishes...

This is a rare view. If you can see in the pictures, there is few side dishes that can be order. If i were you, i would like to order a 'Night Kiss', but only at night and from a pretty gal or gals lar... Ha ha...

And for sure not 'Strange Taste Clam' cos it would be strange to taste strange as notify in the MENU. This restaurant owner really good ah. Would tell us that the 'clam' taste strange. Well, i wonder is there anyone that would want to order that dish. Well, 'Night Kiss' would be possible. Ha ha... At least for me. ha ha.....

This picture is taken from a restaurant at Hijau Foodcourt at BDC. Go check it out.

Chairs...

Here is the point. What the use of chairs or any type of stuff that been build pruposely for PEOPLE to sit? Ha ha... This is the thing that i just notice after a while playing Badminton with the ex UNIMAS student gang at fourth mile Kuching Winners Court.

After every match, all will rush to the floor in front of the long chair provided by the management and sit on the FLOOR!!! Ha ha.....

Then the question is "What the purpose of the chair?". Well, a decent answer from all the members, "To put stuff. Stuff more important than my ass." Ha ha....

And where is the people you would ask? Of course, on the FLOOR lar.... Ha ha... I must admit, it feel better sitting on the floor than the chair. More, relaxing. Ha ha...

See... See... See... Am right le... Ha ha....

Madagascar - Escape 2 Afrika

Madagascar is back and now it is "Escape 2 Afrika". Went there with friend last night at eleven after dinner at 'Jalan Masjid'. It's a sudden decision actually but worth it.

This time, it bigger and funnier. The old lady that beat up 'Alex' the lion at New Jersey Train Station in first episode is back and this time, she is more even aggressive and appealling. Not forgeting 'Moth' the cute little rascal in episod 1. And the four Penguin with that two monkey that excape from NY Zoo as well. You know what i'm saying... Ha ha...

Don't miss is, catch it at your nearby cinema. I strongly don't agree that you buy pirated cd. Spend some on nice movie like this. It is really worthy though.

Jokes

Well, here some good jokes on advertisement to start up your day, and apparently, mine... Ha ha... Enjoy. http://www.funny-jokes-n-pictures.com/

Night Watchman:
Advertising sure brings quick results--last week I advertised for a night watchman--the same night my safe was robbed.

Salesperson:
How can you tell when a salesperson is lying? His lips are moving.

The Pope and KFC:
A salesman from KFC walked up to the Pope and offers him a million dollars if he would change "The Lord's Prayer" from "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily chicken." The Pope refused his offer. Two weeks later, the man offered the pope 10 million dollars to change it from "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily chicken" and again the Pope refused the man's generous offer. Another week later, the man offered the Pope 20 million dollars and finally the Pope accepted. The following day, the Pope said to all his officials, "I have some good news and some bad news. 'The good news is, that we have just received a check for 20 million dollars. The bad news is, we lost the Wonder Bread account!'''

Hectic LIFE is back and now WORST!!! Well, better ady...

I think some of my reader here will be wondering why i'm not around or blogging for the past days. Well, my old-self is back! Stressed and busy guy! I'm not busy with life or entertaining people or myself, i'm torturing myself. Well, not to say torture actually. It is my THESIS!!!!

Been so so headache with my data. Was trying my best to really do it and present it in my chapters. I even end up asking opinion from other Lecturers (thanks to Dr. Lo, Mr Puah, Dr. Evan) and other Msc and PhD student in my office. Seems like no one know how to.... Argh..... Or they know but want me to discover it out myself. (Thanks for the opinion, it been a great help).

Still, i can finally understand and do my chapters thanks to my dear beloved supervisor, AP Dr. Ernest Cyril de Run, for his help and patience in teaching me and guide me. He even help in some minor way so that i can understand and continue doing what i need to do actually. Was really touch actually by his effort to even willingly spend his precious time resting at home (even he is not feeling well that day) where he ask me to go to his place and he teach on spot.

Well, i think my cempedak to him cannot really repay his time and effort and patience and expertise. Ha ha... (was trying to bribe him actually, but seems to fail. Next time i'll try cake that have RM in the middle to succeed). I think the only thing that i can pay back to him is not to disappoint his belief and trust in my work and life.

P/s: Prof, i'll do my best...

License for the Man!!

Notice: Parental Discretion needed and anything, i say sorry first before anyone blame me. It's just my opinion and doesn't refer to anyone or party of any interest. Just found it funny and interesting to be share with my readers.

It's commonly known and seen that married guys go to so called 'entertainment' premises to release tension and stress after a day of hard work. Then we will hear complains from their wife and 'wives' that their 'hubby' spend too much time and money outside. Willingly or not, most of the money channel to Reflexology centre, Clubs and even some 'entertainment' outlets that serve 'Asian Cuisine'. So who's to blame? The wife or the husband. Well, no, the authorities and the pimp should have the blame on the increasing sudden grows and expansion of such premises, plus the husband and occasionally some wife for incompetency. Well it sound like everyone to be blame. Well, blame me only lah.....

Well, of course there some demand before the supply are able to come in. Right Guys? And Boys? Well, there is cases where government blame government on such matter like, GRO. See this in Malaysiakini.com, http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/92853.

Polis menggesa kerajaan Perak dan pihak berkuasa tempatan(PBT) membatal lesen pengusaha pusat hiburan yang menggunakan wanita-wanita asing sebagai pegawai perhubungan pelanggan (GRO).

Hold your laugh, this even better...

Ketua polis negeri Datuk Zulkefli Abdullah berkata, cadangan itu berikutan pihaknya banyak menerima sistem pesanan ringkas (SMS) daripada suri rumah yang mengadu suami mereka sering menghabiskan wang dan masa di luar dengan mengunjungi premis-premis hiburan.

He later add on with this....

"Kita tidak boleh mengabaikan aduan yang dibuat oleh suri-suri rumah berkenaan kerana nanti dikatakan pihak polis tidak berbuat sesuatu tetapi saya berharap pihak PBT juga turut membantu menangani masalah ini," katanya selepas majlis perhimpunan bulanan ketua polis Perak hari ini.

Well it comes to me with this big question. Who to be blame? Ha ha...... A nice news to start up my day.

Malaysia Boleh, Seremban Pun Boleh...

Saw this in Malaysiakini.com. Our 'perwakilan' have indeed improve their intergrity like the Taiwanese politicians. Fight... Fight.... Yeah.... Malaysian Rule.... 'Memang BolehLah...'. Here The news. In BM, sorry....

Perwakilan bahagian Seremban bergaduh
Nov 9, 08 12:21pm
Para perwakilan yang menghadiri mesyuarat bahagian Seremban bergaduh pagi ini sehingga ia terpaksa dibatalkan.
Mereka bertindak membaling kerusi ke arah satu sama lain. Dirahamkan turut menjadi sasaran ialah barisan jawatankuasa bahagian.Kejadian tersebut turut disaksikan pengerusi jawatankuasa pemantau Umno bahagian, Seremban, Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik.Kejadian itu berlaku di tempat mesyuarat itu diadakan di Kelab Golf Taman Tuanku Jaafar di Seremban.Ekoran itu, ketua bahagian berkenaan, Datuk Ishak Ismail mengambil keputusan untuk membatalkan mesyuarat tersebut.
Difahamkan ada perwakilan yang mengalami kecederaan.
Ketika dihubungi, Ishak berkata, kejadian itu berlaku apabila bekas setiausaha bahagian, Datuk Yusof Hermain Shah mempersoalkan enam cawangan bellum mengadakan mesyuarat.
"Saya kemudiannya menunjukkan surat kepada Rahim bahawa enam cawangan tersebut telah mengadakan mesyuarat," katanya.

Katanya, seorang lagi - Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) Lenggeng, Mustafa Salim - tidak dibenarkan oleh Majlis Tertinggi (MT) bertanding jawatan ketua bahagian itu kerana terbabit dalam politik wang.
Berikutan itu, katanya, kumpulan yang tidak puas hati dan beberapa perwakilan telah bertindak membaling kerusi ke arah perwakilan Wanita.
Keadaan itu, katanya, menjadi kelam kabut kerana perwakilan Wanita takut, menyebabkan beliau terpaksa menghubungi pihak polis.

Can I Borrow $25?

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'

DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.

SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.' SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.' The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often

The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.

'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.

'The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

'The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied. 'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love. My heart was crush when i know thst i'm working too hard and spend less time on the person that i really care.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Cheers~~~

Surprises and Touching Moment (2)

This morning wake up pretty early at six thirty and after groom myself up, drive all the way down to Merdeka Palace and fecth my dad and another two of his friend to breakfast and to bus terminal. They leave around 10 a.m and can see that they, especially my dad, enjoy their trip here this time.

Well, at bus terminal, i manage to have a small talk with my dad and suddenly my dad just call up my 8th uncle and say that he will be leaving today. Well, my uncle was quite sad as my dad leave and they don have much time spent together. But did notice to ask on some information on the rest of my dad siblings whereabout.

I was suprised that my 8th uncle own the Japanese Restaurant at Damai Puri Resort at Santubong. My 10th uncle work in the airport. The rest we still try to get in contact but did heard that some of my uncle already passed away. I'm sad cos i never manage to meet them. Will probably visit their graves with my family one of this days.

My 8th uncle have ask for me to go visit him and the family at Damai Puri when i'm available. Well, i will make the effort before i travel by end of this month. And most probably have house visitation during Chinese New Year. After all, we are all one family and we should keep in contact.

From 17 siblings, i have already manage to track down 2 of them. Hope everything goes well and we can have a family reunion one of these days. Hope and do wish me luck on my quest.

Cheers~~~
