When was the last time you had a burger? And are you a regular fast-food customer? I have to confess I eat those fast-food burger all the time. Sometimes, it could be three times a week. I know it's insane and not very good for health. But what to do, when you are a bachelor and working late nights all the time and lazy to drive out and get other food. So, the phone delivery is the easiest. I order the McDonalds all the time coz there's no delivery for Burger King. I wish they have coz seriously, i prefer BK than McD. BK is a bit pricey and I do wish they revise their prices down so that everyone could enjoy their selection of tasty burgers, especially their Whopper! Well, i actually like the Mushroom burger more. But if i want to save cost, then i go for the Ramli Burger. So, what if, if you go into McD and they don't sell Big Mac no more?? I guess customers can still opt for other burgers like McChicken or Double Cheese. But what if you go into BK and they don't sell Whopper?? Ah...i guess i would freakout too. Here, let's watch the customer's reaction when they were told Whopper was discontinued from the menu.

HAMSTER INVASION
Just read in the newspaper today that pet shop owners are expecting to sell more hamster this year due to the fact that this year is the Year of The Rat. Some chinese believes it'll bring good luck. The Daily also mentioned it is suitable for children as pets. I am not sure if it is good idea to let small children to play with them. I just can't imagine what if they squash them. I mean, if i am still little child, i think i would. I reared hamster once. I bought for my ex coz she loved it and at the end of the day, i was the one rearing it. It was cute and nice at first, as it grew bigger it became a little violent. It got smarter and tried gettin out of the cage. It managed to bite and pulled up that little gate once. But still, at last it managed to escape. I guess it had it planning for mths. And no need to tell what happened when my ex found out. I would nvr rear a hamster again. It is smelly and they eat n sleep a lot. It didn't bring me luck then. So, would you buy one just bcoz it is the Year of The Rat? And did anyone bought any pigs last year?

ONE WEEK IN IKEA
Sometime ago, Ikea in Norway came up with an ingenious idea asking folks to spend a night at the store and after that, they can decide whether they would buy it or not. And now, a New Yorker gotta spend a whole week in the store! Mark Malkoff needed to vacate his apartment for fumigation and his friends small apartments were no help and staying in a hotel would be hefty. So, he contacted Ikea and in return, he would document his experience on film. What do you know. Ikea said yes and off he went. You can check his site here. Mark Lives In Ikea.
Would you stay in Ikea for a week??

Ban Plastic Bags
China is banning free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets and will charge customers should they want to use them.This is a great step by China and even ahead of US within this policy. China use up to 3 billion plastic bags a day. Wow..that's enough to cover the road from KL up to Genting Highland. We often use plastic bags here a lot as well. The smaller and thin ones are usually used once and then discarded away. Recycling rate is the lowest. Plastic bags do not break down naturally and will pollute the environment.
The ban in China will take effect in June and will join countries such as Uganda and South Africa.
Bangladesh banned plastic bags four years ago when officials realized they blocked drains and led to flooding. Last year, San Francisco, California, became the first U.S. city to outlaw plastic checkout bags at supermarkets.
Maybe our government should ban the use of plastic bags too.

Reebok 2008
Today Reebok launched their 2008 products featuring 2 new state-of-the-art technologies - the SmoothFit and HexRide. And the new campaign is called "Your Move"
The press launch today was quite special. Held at SkyBar, Maya Hotel, the media were treated to some presentations before the fashion show began. After that, the media needed to change to full Reebok attire and were divided into two groups. The first group went to have some workout by Reebok's own fitness trainer and the other went for foot reflexology. All pampered maximum and the two groups switched after that.
And we walked away with this shoe. This is the HexRide rally. Just perfect as i was going to buy a new sneaker and will stick to this one for awhile.
Don't envy pls.

Peace of Mind
This is one product i am using at the moment. It's called, Peace of Mind and by Origins.
It's actually a stress reliever and i was a bit skeptical at first. Since it was given to me, why not give it a try. Yeh! It is soothing indeed. If you have stress like me (normally my stress would cover the pain at the spine area up to the neck), then this product is just right for you. It contains basil, peppermint and eucalyptus, among other ingredients and i guess that is the reason why it feels soothing when applied. After applying at the temple, neck and inhaling from your hand, it initiates a rapid relaxation response. Try it! Something i strongly recommend.

Advertlets in deep water?
Advertlets forgot to make payment for their domain name?
This news is everywhere on the blogsphere and i guess it has affected the company seriously. Many bloggers stripped off their ads in order for their blogs to work properly. And with frustrations, some jumped to other networks instead. i guess the other 3 networks are benefiting from this incident.
Although Advertlets issued an apology and also explained what were the causes, i don't think there is any excuse for something important as this. It may be an oversight but again, I am sure the company received email reminders to renew its domain name. The worse part is they have thousands of members and ad services running. Who actually forgot to make the payment? erm..the secretary? the administrator? or the owner himself?
The mistake has been made and now time will tell if Advertlets can crawl back up to the competition.
Procrastination is a disease. I know :)

Flyakite OSX
What is Flyakite OSX?
Well, i came across this in Hongkiat.com.
Halo...!...it's not asking you to fly a kite la. No fly kite. it's actually a software.
If you want your Windows PC to look like MAC OS, then this should do the trick.
It is a complete MAC transformation and it's great. At least something different to look at. I needed something new. So getting rid of XP sounds fun. Afterall, no money to buy an iMac. So, this version will do the trick.
I have no problem installing and so far, it remains stable. No crashes yet. Everything function like a MAC computer except that there isn't much change to the MSN windows live messenger.
I downloaded the Topdesk which simulates the Expose in MAC feature. It helps to reduce or switch windows in a jiffy. Here, i reduce my work to thumbnails on the screen and just click the preferred thumb to continue my work.
i use the RK launcher. The dock below the screen. It functions exactly the same as Apple MAC OS and it's cool. I changed the some of the icons as well. I changed to some reflective ones. Cool, huh.
if you want more MAC emulation stuffs.
Here is something i found. A very good resource for all MAC emulations.
http://www.osx-e.com/
I'm not a computer expert but thanks to Hongkiat, i am now happily working on my new MAC computer. yeh!

NZX (NiuZeXui)
NiuZeXui( NZX ) 牛车水
Yes... in cantonese is called "Ngau Chair Sui".
Direct translation is - Cow Car Water
Anyway, they said is something like Singapore's Chinatown.
So, what is this all about?
Is actually a new commercial area at Ara Damansara. I will attached the map below.
When we were on our way there, i was imagining that the place was like a foodcourt or maybe a nice restaurant. Once we reached that place, we were greeted with very beautiful lights.
I don't have any camera with me, so i have to gasak from these ppl.
when you on your way to the entrance, you will see a lot of bamboo trees..etc etc
(for chinese new year)
this is how the main entrance looks like
it is surrounded by 2 1/2 storey commercial lots. And the moment you step into the entrance,
you will see Big Apple. Wow...dougnuts!! And then voila! you will see retail lots in the middle selling all kind of stuffs. All bargaining stuffs. Fashion, accessories, dvds, little cafes..etc... quite nice to walk around, actually.
And below is a very nice cafe/restaurant. Unfortunately, the food ran out when we were there.
What else? Starbucks, Secret Recipe will be there. I am sure other nice restaurants will make their way there as it is actually quite a nice place to hangout. Odd it is since the location is not easy to access. There are only 2 ways to go there. One is from the Kelana Jaya and the other is from the old Subang Airport. If you know where is the main LRT station, then you know where i am talking about.
I will probably go there again. Maybe this time i will bring my own camera. haha.
meantime, leme credit the ppl who took the photos.
you can go to their links for better picture.

Am I Back?
My last post was August last year.
wow..how time flies.
there are too much tension and stress at work that i do not find the mood to blog anything at all. Afterall, my grammar is not up to mark either. Yes, it's kinda frustrating when you have something to pen down but words just get in the way. And i am doing publishing and carrying the title, Editor-in-chief. O my god!
No...this is not a confession or unveiling a secret. Everyone knows. It may be a surprised to those who don't know me. If you don't know me and found your way into here...hey! welcome!
Sometimes, it's depressing coz when you read other blogs...oh...they sound all so nice and you always wish you could write like them. Sigh...i wish but then, there are also many who are not genius in writing and still get ppl to visit the site, agh...i am a little relieved.
So, what made me write again?
I was reading Suanie's and Pink pau's blog and it just hit me that i had not blog for the longest time. Perhaps, i am bored now or maybe, ...they inspire me to blog a little again. Or maybe one day, i am able to have my own domain to blog. that would be cool. If i could get my hands on a new digital camera, maybe...i would blog even more. I believe in visuals more.
2007 has gone. that stupid Pig year. It was supposed to be my year. It was supposed to bring me lots of luck and joy. Instead, there were more downs than ups. If you look back, generally the Pig year wasn't very good overall. A few events i could remember now....assassin of Buttho, russia wans to point its nuclear weapon at Europe, our own local chaotic demontrations and my client's mom passed away on xmas day.
I, for once would want to vote for the opposition this year. By the way, i have not register as a voter yet. I think i did. I am not sure. I think i am supposed to vote for Pantai. I am voting for Opposition not because i like them. It's bcoz i do not like our current administration. I wish our PM is as agressive as our Dr. M. Our PM now has done nothing much... i mean, in a big way to help Malaysia prosperous. We only had our toll and petrol increased. Yes,..our country is still the lowest compare to other countries but we can't use this as a benchmark, rite? My usual mixed-rice for lunch cost me at least RM4 now compare to RM3 or RM3.50 few monts back. And you don't see Pak Lah going overseas a lot with the delegation to help spur Malaysia economy. All politicians are liars and perhaps, corrupted. It's not a surprise and they are all over the world. But i am ok if we all 'prosperous' together -gether. Everyone wins, everyone will be happy. If Obama is the President of the USA, i would really love to see what are the changes he will be implementing and i am not surprised if there is an assassination plot against him. It's just like the TV series, 24 where the first black president was assassinated.
So, how did i celebrate my new year's eve? Nothing much. I had seafood with a few friends and then adjourned to my friend's house to play Xbox! Just hope 2008 would be a better year for everyone.
Before that, we went to Lookout Point after xmas. It's somewhere in cheras. Not sure how to explain to you but can go from Ampang or Steven's Corner in Cheras. It's ok la for first timers like us. We managed to find that place. We read in some other blogs earlier. Some said the food was good, some said "yuks". As we reached, we went to this Lookout Point Cafe or restaurant. I kept my expectations low on food and fair enough, it was really not good. It was raining and drizzling that night. So, it was kinda chilly. Luckily i was wearing a sweater. We went there to give one of our friend a surprise birthday party. She was brought up there later and indeed, she was delighted to see all of us there and we tried to have the bday cake eaten there. So, these guys put the candles neatly on the cake and ...fuck! the wind was too strong. They couldnt light the candles!
One guy went to survey the area and came back, saying that there was another restaurant downstairs and we should try doing that cake thingy there. So, all of us went downstairs and...haiyo...this is a better looking restaurant than upstairs!!! It's like those KimGary restaurant. You can find variety of food here and the price is surprisingly reasonable. Better than upstairs!!!! So, if you want to go there..that place is called Lookout Point. When you reached there, don't lookout or lookup...make sure you look down!
And why is it so nice there? You can view the entire KL from there and ya, it's cooler there.
Have a great 2008...!!

THRILLER
I am back.
Finally, after a great ordeal at work, i am able to start blogging abit. Things would be slow here as i have to take care of many things relating to work from now on.
And i found this video when i was *sniffing around at other ppl's blog.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hMnk7lh9M3o
1,500 plus CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines danced to the tune of Thriller!! How good is that. If you wanna learn to dance, i guess you should consider registering yourself into this center. My gawd..look at them, they actually had every moves copied. I couldn't even do that when i choreographed it about 20yrs ago. Ah..that was history=) i guess dancing is another form of rehab. So, guys.... the definition of goin clubbing is to dance and for good music, not just booze. Can't dance if not 'high' a bit? That's lame. Go...go...shake that booty.

HARRY POTTER
Harry Potter...
I still remember a few years back when i knew nothing about Harry Potter until my niece from London came here for holidays. She asked me if i've read Harry Potter and i said no. Before they left home, she gave me the 1st book. So, i read it....and after finished reading it, i went out and bought the other 2 books...hehe. That was good then. When i read the 4th book, i find that JK Rowling is taking us round n round over some ideas and trying to make the story long. Thats when i stopped. So, i din follow the last 2 books. Nevertheless, the story was quite intriguing then.
so, today out of curiousity, i downloaded the first 10chapters of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows'. What? u say. Yes...can dl liao.
Here's a sneak peek at the 1st chapter.....taddaaaaaaaaaaa..
Chapter One The Dark Lord Ascending
..............................
................................
The drawing room was full of silent people, sitting at a long and ornate table. The room’s usual furniture had been pushed carelessly up against the walls. Illumination came from a roaring fire beneath a handsome marble mantelpiece surmounted by a gilded mirror. Snape and Yaxley lingered for a moment on the threshold. As their eyes grew accustomed to the lack of light, they were drawn upward to the strangest feature of the scene: an apparently unconscious human figure hanging upside down over the table, revolving slowly as if suspended by an invisible rope, and reflected in the mirror and in the bare, polished surface of the table below. None of the people seated underneath this singular sight was looking at it except for a pale young man sitting almost directly below it. He seemed unable to prevent himself from glancing upward every minute or so.
“Yaxley. Snape,” said a high, clear voice from the head of the table. “You are very nearly late.”
The speaker was seated directly in front of the fireplace, so that it was difficult, at first, for the new arrivals to make out more than his silhouette. As they drew nearer, however, his face shone through the gloom, hairless, snakelike, with slits for nostrils and gleaming red eyes whose pupils were vertical. He was so pale that he seemed to emit a pearly glow.
“Severus, here,” said Voldemort, indicating the seat on his immediate right. “Yaxley – beside Dolohov.”
The two men took their allotted places. Most of the eyes around the table followed Snape, and it was to him that Voldemort spoke first.

When i read the 4th book, i find that JK Rowling is taking us round n round over some ideas and trying to make the story long. Thats when i stopped. So, i din follow the last 2 books. Nevertheless, the story was quite intriguing then.
so, today out of curiousity, i downloaded the first 10chapters of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows'. What? u say. Yes...can dl liao.
Here's a sneak peek at the 1st chapter.....taddaaaaaaaaaaa..
Chapter One The Dark Lord Ascending
..............................
................................
The drawing room was full of silent people, sitting at a long and ornate table. The room’s usual furniture had been pushed carelessly up against the walls. Illumination came from a roaring fire beneath a handsome marble mantelpiece surmounted by a gilded mirror. Snape and Yaxley lingered for a moment on the threshold. As their eyes grew accustomed to the lack of light, they were drawn upward to the strangest feature of the scene: an apparently unconscious human figure hanging upside down over the table, revolving slowly as if suspended by an invisible rope, and reflected in the mirror and in the bare, polished surface of the table below. None of the people seated underneath this singular sight was looking at it except for a pale young man sitting almost directly below it. He seemed unable to prevent himself from glancing upward every minute or so.
“Yaxley. Snape,” said a high, clear voice from the head of the table. “You are very nearly late.”
The speaker was seated directly in front of the fireplace, so that it was difficult, at first, for the new arrivals to make out more than his silhouette. As they drew nearer, however, his face shone through the gloom, hairless, snakelike, with slits for nostrils and gleaming red eyes whose pupils were vertical. He was so pale that he seemed to emit a pearly glow.
“Severus, here,” said Voldemort, indicating the seat on his immediate right. “Yaxley – beside Dolohov.”
The two men took their allotted places. Most of the eyes around the table followed Snape, and it was to him that Voldemort spoke first.
