Speedtrap on bridge

You guys who use the Penang bridge daily would know about some maintenance work being carried out for dunno how many donkey months now in the middle span of the bridge coming from Prai to Penang direction. Some guy working at the maintenance site took this pic from the elevator. So to all daily users of the bridge, watch out for this speedtrap heading towards Prai from the island.

That time of the week again!!!

I always get this feeling on every Sunday afternoon. Why does it feel like this? This feeling is indescribable. I feel like shit on Sunday afternoons coz tomorrow is Monday and I gotta go back to work. Then on Monday, I get the Monday blues. I don't look forward to going to work anymore. It's not the same anymore. There is no more motivation left. Have I lost the passion for my job?

Rifle Range flats on fire?

Time: 6:30pm
Date: 21st July 2005

Thick smoke billowing above the flats in Rifle Range.


Unrelated... explosions in London again!?!?

Around my desk

I put up a pic of my office workspace sometime ago. And since I have not been blogging so much about my work lately, I decided to make this entry a little work related. You have seen how my desk looks like. Now... here's a sneak on what's underneath it and what's on the 2 sides.


Here's what you'll see underneath my desk. Some files and a small box on the right to keep my samples. My bag on top of the box.


This is the left side. I have a waste paper basket, one small box with samples inside and a couple of files on top of the box. Behind the box are some newly developed samples.


More boxes on the right. 2 bigger boxes containing more samples and more files on the boxes.

So basically, I am surrounded by files, boxes and more files and more boxes. Once, I have so many samples and have to keep them all in the boxes. I could even build a fort of my own with those darn boxes!

Linux babes

Penang Linux User Group

I was once a member in the already defunct Penang Linux User Group or PLUG. That was 6 years ago.


Recently, I googled, yahooed and found a blog for Penang Linux users.

From 12 to 8

Earlier this month one of the still standing apostles off the coast of Victoria collapsed.

The 12 Apostles is one of the major tourist attraction in the state of Victoria where many tourists would visit and take plenty of pictures. Here's a pic of me with the apostles in the background before the recent collapse of one of the apostles.


.... the pic after the collapse.

Bon Voyage EF

EF, a fellow Malaysian blogger is leaving for Sweden next month to pursue a Master's degree in Science majoring in Chemical Engineering.

Here's wishing her all the best in her studies in Sweden. And since she's going to be there for 2 years, let's hope she'll come back with a dog, a Volvo and a house full of Ikea furnitures. Also, hope she'll get a couple of boyfriends, loose a couple or better still... get a husband!

So EF, good luck in your new endeavour. Break a leg... or two while there!

Don't forget your roots when you are there and once you finished, don't forget all the little people like me!

RM250 for a blog entry

I left office early today. By 5:20pm I have already crossed the bridge and reached the Jelutong Expressway. I was on the right in the 3 lane expressway. The speedometer was pretty constant at 80 km/h. Half way into the expressway but just before going up the flyover, a driver in a big truck from the opposite direction was flashing his head lights signalling a road block in front. Cars started to slow down just in case there is a speed trap nearby. I immediately switched to the middle lane.

True enough, there was a road block manned by about 6 traffic policemen. I could see them afar after passing the flyover. Their Perdana V6 was parked by the road. I was thinking, okay I didn't speed so there shouldn't a problem.

Fuck, I was wrong. As I slowly moved to the road block, one of them signalled me to stop by the shoulder. The following conversation transpired...

Me: *confused* *confuckulated*
Cop 1: Encik ada lesen?
Me: Ada
Cop 1: Encik bagi lesen dan IC
Me: Apa salah saya Encik?

***I handed my lesen and IC to Cop 1. He took my lesen and IC... looked at them for a full minute

Cop 1: Encik punya roadtax dah mati
Me: Huh? Sudah mati kah?
Cop 1: Ya, sudah mati. Mai keluar tengok.

***Fuck again! I just realised it is going to expire this month but didn't know it has expired***

Me: Encik, saya dah lupa renew road tax. Boleh bagi chance?
Cop 1: Ini road tax mati, insurance pun mati kah?
Me: Road tax mati, insurance tentu mati lah
Cop 1: Kalau macam ni, kena saman 600 Ringgit ni. Tiga ratus bagi saman, tiga ratus lagi bagi mahkamah. Kereta pun tak boleh bawa balik. Kena pergi mahkamah bulan sembilan untuk buat rayuan. Lesen pun kena gantung ni.
Me: Encik, ini boleh selesai kah? Tiap-tiap hari I kena bawa kreta ni.

Cop 1 still holding my IC and lesen walked behind my car and went to Cop 2. After like 30 seconds, Cop 1 went away and Cop 2 came over. I was still inside the car.

Cop 2: Encik, saya kena saman Encik.
Me: Eh! Jangan lah, saya lupa renew road tax. Encik boleh bagi peluang saya lah.
Cop 2: Keluar kreta, ambik kunci sekali dan ikut saya pi belakang.

I hopped out and followed him back to their Perdana. Then he started to fill up the saman. Writing some numbers like date...etc..etc

Me: Encik, jangan tulis lah. Boleh selesai kah sekarang?
Cop 2: Nanti saya tulis saman, you kena pi mahkamah bulan sembilan buat rayuan. Kreta pun tak boleh bawa lagi. Lesen pun kena gantung.
Me: Eh, tak boleh lah cam ni. I kena pakai kreta pergi kerja. Tak boleh tunggu sampai bulan sembilan. Kalau sekarang macam mana boleh settle?
Cop 2: You mau macam mana settle?
Me: I boleh bagi sekarang. Brapa you mau I bagi?
Cop 2: Brapa you mau bagi?
Me: I tak tau. You bagi tau you mau berapa lah.
Cop 2: Okay, you gentleman. I pun gentleman.
Me: Okay kite semua gentleman lah. Berapa you mau?
Cop 2: Tiga Ratus.

WTF again. Wah! Tiga Ratus! No choice la

Me: Okay, nanti I masuk kereta tengok ada tak tiga ratus.
Cop 2: Ok, pi tengok.

Quickly went back into my car and along the way I saw my road tax dah mati since 9 July. Fuck! After checking my wallet, I got RM300 inside. RM300 fuck fuck fuck!! Maybe I can buy him off with RM250. I never heard such big kopi for the police for a traffic offence before anyway. Then after 3 minutes, Cop 2 came over to my window....

Me: Encik, RM250 cukup kah?
Cop 2: Okay lah. Tapi u jangan guna kreta bagi kita tahan lagi esok.
Me: Sudah tentu lah!
Cop 2: Nah... Taruh dalam buku.

Cop 2 passed the saman book to me and I had to part with RM250 for being forgetful.

The funny thing that was going on in my head was... I have a blog topic for tonight. But this blog topic cost me RM250 :(

Now... Tell me how can the government fight corruption in the force?

Management

A team of senior managers were given an assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. So the managers went out to the flagpole with measuring tapes and ladders.

One by one they started falling off the ladders, dropping the measuring tapes - the whole thing was in a mess.

Then I came along and saw what they were trying to do. I walked over, pulled the flagpole out of the ground and laid the flagpole flat on the ground. I measured the flagpole from end to end and gave the measurement to one of the managers and walked away.

After I was gone, one senior manager turned to another, laughed and exclaimed, "Isn't that the stupidest thing? Is he an idiot or what? We're looking for the height and he gave us the length!"

Moral of the story:
No matter what good you do, management can always find fault in you.

Bicycling - Tour de France

The world famous cycling race of Tour de France is almost into the half way stage. Stage 10 of the 21 stage race is starting today. The last stage will end in Paris in the famous Champs-Élysées.

This entry has got nothing to do with the race but rather the attire those cyclists wear. Ever wonder why cyclists prefer to wear black or dark colored tights?

Here's why... The usual on mouse over will do the trick.

Five Things I Don't Miss about My Childhood

EF passed this to me. So EF, should I say thank you or not? Thank you coz I have something to blog about now? Or...No thanks, coz don't "ka ka ciau ciau" me with such meme lah!!! :)

1. Waking up terribly early in the morning to catch the school bus. 6am to be exact.

Wow... this meme is super hard. I miss so many things about my childhood.

2. Shitting in my pants in primary school???? Does this count?

3. Never skipped classes, never played truant and faithfully attending school.

4. Given sooo little pocket money. Wish I was given more... like RM2 per day.

and finally...

5. Doing homework.

Traffic whoring - part II

This is a continuation post from traffic whoring part i. 5xmom managed to whore some pretty decent traffic here.

See that the surge in traffic over 200 hits on 7th July. Normal traffic here is only a pathetic 40 to 50 per day out of which 50% is likely to be myself coming in and out!

A Favour Please

Dear fellow bloggers, dear friends,

I need a favour!! My neighbour has a puppy and he's giving the puppy away (FREE!). It's a Dachshund, it's house is broken, and it's great with kids.

He's giving it away because his wife says the dog 'stares' at her when she undresses and that gives her the 'Heebie Jeebies'. I think she is just weird !

If you're interested, or know someone who is, let me know. Here's a picture of the dog (see below - scroll down ).

Traffic whoring

The mother of blogging *no pun intended*, 5xmom, is whoring traffic for me here. An expert traffic whore, 5xmom claims she does it with style and originality.

Let's how many customers hits this whoring task can get me. Suddenly I feel so .... cheap??? ;P

Apa lah hand gesture

Watch TV3's buletin utama news and you'll see this field reporter by the name of Karam Singh Waliah. Watch his "Apa lah lu" hand job gesture everytime he does a report. He did a "curi air" report today. He's been with TV3 for some time now and they way he presents his report is one of a kind.

TV3 doesn't pay me to say this. Tune in to buletin utama on TV3 tomorrow night at 8pm if you have no idea what I am blogging about. "Apa lah lu" gesture is his trademark.

Wedding Eve

In the traditional Chinese customs, the bride and groom will pray to the God of Heaven at 12 midnight on the Eve of the wedding day. In hokkien, this is known as the "Pai Thnee Kong" ceremony. Besides praying to the "Thnee Kong", the bride and groom will also pray to the ancestors supposedly to tell those already passed on that the bride and groom will tie the knot. This is a general custom most Chinese families practice in a marriage.

And in this "Phai Thnee Kong" ceremony, the Chinese believes the bride and groom will have to wear some red color clothes as the color red symbolises happiness. I wore a bit of red... yes just a tiny bitsy pinch of red.


No. Actually, that's the costume I stole from Shaolin Tiger. It comes with a nice chinese vampire or "keong si" hat too!

Losing my bachelorhood

So what was the big hoo hah about this significant day in my life? Okay, so I lost my virginity bachelorhood that day. Here's the proof.

Too personal

My dearest "fansi", I have been away from the blogging arena for about a week now. You would have learnt from my last entry that last Sunday was a very significant day in my life. I have just read my emails and have received quite a few mails asking me to reveal what it was all about. Unfortunately, it was too personal for me to blog. Some things that are better left untold to the blogging community.

P/S: I anticipate that I will not be blogging in the next few days.
