friends told me it's again full of travelling around. (via my posts & uploads on Facebook).

2010 was my first ever FACE-TO-FACE sales job. it is with Hong Leong Assurance.

How did I ended up there? ask me face-to-face. virtual expression couldn't express.

The experiences itself was already.... *speechless*

2 weeks of intensive Mandarin class training I called it.

I could speak & understand mandarin this year, a whole lot more then what I could had spoken my whole life before this. *amazement? i guess so*

Travel fly & moving around. (to compile this here I would need to check from my FB albums =.=)

2010-11-22T17:25:00.002+08:00

it's been half a year since i last blog...

since i've actually started working in Hong Leong.. looking back..

life's been busy with trainings, attachment, and real sales...

and Raleigh caught up during AGM... yup, im back into the committee...

but for almost 5 months dah... i do not feel i've did much..

it's been long since i took MC.. and today is a day to rest & relax.. with tummy ex-gastric wound ache...

yesterday's Penang Bridge International Marathon was a great time i had... enjoyed walking with hands wide open & the scenic views of Penang Bridge..

i've never walked so far along penang bridge.. while walking.. some thoughts did came through my mins..

+ today i'm feeling sicked &... this brought worst thoughts...

what's my life's objectives & target now??

i felt my current position in this company is no longer as strong as i had... a month or 2 ago..

maybe hearing of other available positions open-ups my doors, windows & mind...

should i really get out there & hunt for more opportunity?

a little confused mind... little i do.

it's been a hectic week

2010-04-07T03:55:00.003+08:00

to be correct, it been 6 days almost a week since my Maternal grandma passed away. Time truly flies.

I'm back in KL.

shifted house.

super greater to all my friends who came to help.

did not expected it to be a fast one tho.

shifted one whole house all in less then 2 hours.

It's been an emo week.

Had lots in mind to think & to re-act in situations...

sometimes thing does bring back good & old memories....

wishing for more dreams to come true.

when will i know when 'it have arrive' ?

God Help!!! I need your guidance.... 'for a stronger christal to live up this challenge'.

My DATE Night

2010-04-07T02:35:00.003+08:00

i might be too late for this contest but would really love to 'pen this down'...

after reading hundreds of write up, 99.9% of them would prefer or to their liking of an ideal date is nice proper dinner & end with a movie. . .

me maybe not. as i'm particular about films & get too possessed into the film & might totally forgotten about the person 1 went with. Definitely a bad idea =) lol...

My ideal first date would be nothing near a shopping mall or inside a mall like any typical date . . .

Picnic by the beach catching sunset would be ideal or star gazing would be perfectly great.

No Where near a beach? surround by driplets or gush of water is every nature lovers 'thing'.

WATERFALLs!!!

I seriously miss GABAI.

No hiking for sure for the first time =) Do not look great with sweaty hair.

With these, i believe he have got to love to be under the sun/moon.

p/s: greedily hopes he can strung a few cords =)

do i still get to win a pair of DATE Night movie tix? hopefully, craving to catch it since saW its trailer months ago....

if won, *prays hard*, who to bring along???...

i desperately NEEDS IT!!

she went up & met Him

2010-04-01T03:02:00.007+08:00

life had been a roller coaster ride this week...

been thinking too much...

am I not?

fret not?

i think i am.

seriously 'lil too much....

about 12 hours ago....

received call from mom

her voice was calm, thought she wanted to ask about me moving house

sad news came

grandma just passed away in LamWahEe Hospital

*i was speech-less*

did not know what to answer her...

I asked, "should i go back to Penang?" (yes, silly me)

ofcourse, come back.

your cousin will be coming back too, you can follow him, contact him.

i was not really expecting her death would be so soon.

just before CNY, my mom told me my grandma had admitted to hospital for Nose, Mouth & Throat (NMT) cancer.

It was spread from her breast cancer, which she had an operation about a year ago.

doctor mention she should be able to live for more years..

but before all these she had a heart by-pass... a severe operation... there's surgical marks from her ankle all the way up to her body... that's where the doc got her vain to reconnect the blocked vain in her heart.. *complicated huhh*, yes it is..

my mom told me, her heart was weak and all these was expected, but doctor say she had another year to go...

but we were all quite prepared... the whole family came together for my grandpa's birthday on the 2nd day of CNY... all except my 3rd uncle & family could not make it because of work... (blame work) =.=;

5 big tables... all family members & a pastor & his wife...

*as my grandpa have got 3 brothers & their families*

- as we would had guess, that's be one of the last few birthday my grandparents could celebrate together..

everyone was busy snapping photos with them both.. yes, include my family...

believed they were happy as well...

when my mom called, i was having my brunch with luyi (the pork burger we've been waiting long)...

i told her the news..

the past 3 death news i heard.. i was with eve. yes, all 3 times.. i was with my best friend...

(maternal side: my 4th uncle, my great grandma & my grand uncle)

this time i was with luyi... thanks friend by being on my side...

- supposingly today i've got no mood to go out at all.. and since i've back to online, i could have stayed home... but my tummy was hungry.. so i went out to meet her for pork burger...

it was great i was with a close friend when my mom broke the news... i think i would have not able to take it strong if i were to be home-alone in the house...

we then headed up to the sofas to online...

after much attempt, i managed to get hooked to the net.

send out a few emails.

called current owner to change move out date

called agent to delay collect keys for new place..

i think i was a bit too shocked & was not really thinking straight..

settled this weekend Raleigh activities..

then headed home to pack. i need to leave KL by tonite..

opt for bus, cheapest & nearest & most convenient

Puduraya had closed down.

buses to Penang had moved to Perhentian Duta.. super near to my place.. =)

packing took me awhile..

i believe i started a little trauma about it then...

what to pack?

where are my stuff? (i've packed most of them into boxes to move house)

aarrgghhhh... was all stressed up... but i need to do this fast..

got all into my 34L deuter

shut down lappie, grab lappie

head down

luyi arrived dah..

she send me to Perhentian Duta.

got my ticket @ 7pm

called luyi, told her i've got tix, she can head home.. *just incase i can't get & got stranded there... thQ luyi*

guy told me 7:30pm - OK

had little dinner, can't be too full, will easily kena motion sickness.

waited. waited. waited.

but finally arrived @ 8:07pm

threw my deuter in the luggage compartment

went up to grab a seat.

had to seat next to an indian... *ish, his smell was the whole journey*... beh ta han lor !!!

but too bad.. the next available seat is way too back, i will easily kena motion sickness again..

*yes, that's how easy i can get..*

keluarkan my sleeping equipments: neck rest, eyes cover & sarong *all time fav*

managed to catch an hour of sleep

kemudian clock shows 9:00pm

tutup mata with eyes cover, managed to close eyes & buka saw clock shows 9:32pm

arrghhhhh when can i arrive Penang ??

i can't sleep at ALL !!!!

rarely of my bus trips PG-KL or KL-PG i feel such...

many visuals came across my mind...

my grandma.. my family.. my friends....

my death... my life....

i went all emo-ed in the bus & looking back at times of my life...

not so worried over mom about this..

but could not really imagine what's next

finally arrived Penang at 1am+...

bus driver was going slow & steady til after Bukit Merah...

as there was a road block before Bukit Merah.. lolx...

but still driving safe..

dad came to picked me up...

could smell instantly once i open the door..

the whole car smelled like a hospital..

arrived home 1am++... was super duper hungry.. almost kena gastric dah..

saw sis watching TV, dad terus masuk tidur, mom greeted me..

as expected she's still doing fine..

terus went to fridge to grab food..

nothing but 'Raleigh's infamous crackers'... which i still have got LOADS in my KL house =(

makan with MILO...

nice... still cannot tahan & online..

received many wishes from friends & family via FB & some sms-es...

the word spread fast... i posted up on FB & my mom juga dah rcv SMS-es from more people which she was wondering how they knew about the news.. thanks to FB for the fast media.. =)

till we meet again in heaven,

good bye grandma...

your lovely grand-daughter

had a super short trip over the weekend, without anyone from office realised... super syiok.. even tho did nothing extraganda overly siasui or gila or excited about... like what we had/did during RIMM, but this trip itself was a surprised... it must be the pressure from all the callings of penders

the 5 cousins... it's a replica of one of our olden days... yes.. same position, same seating... 22 years ago..

had an hiking trip.. almost non-stophike from end-of-the-world to Pantai Kerachut... in 45 minutes... only with Raleigh... 45 minutes is achievable...

long time friend.. misses her company lots in 2009 & i believe in 2010.. as she's now based in Penang... one of the last few nice photo shot moments with her..

did an amazing job.. even the boat skipper was amazed with my skills... =) the waves was getting a little bad.. and I was still able to handle it... *self clap*.. my map reading skills was from sea map.. yes.. u see minimal land.. 85% are blue.. =)

my first roll on my Qing Hwa & UWS

2009-12-13T01:48:00.013+08:00

i've heard enough stories to made me *takut* & nervous to snap with my Diana F+ Qing Hwa last weekend...
that was my last frame in Diana.. i totally went blank... cant remember the settings.. was 'N' for day or night ?? hahaha...

so tak peduli & just a wild guess... i can't wait any longer to develop my films & see my artwork...
I LURVE both rolls.. !!!...

Diana F+ came our much more *colours* that I thought it might be... even my 1st time pinhole was great !!!..
framing went off a little... but it's just like how i wanted it to be... *smart me*...

enjoy the below with lesser words from me... let my artwork speak justice.. >.<

Below are from Diana F+....

sky from my room's window... CK did his Limbo...
karlye's birthday celebration... @ a surprised location...

my work station.. =( - super blur...

overlapping with the next shot... *ouch*
but i think this shot was just GREAT !!!..
.sharp.focus.clear.

it took me quite a few times of viewing this only I realised it is a double exposure... double exposure SuLan... with the sky... *a little failure, totally out of focus*

the sun was too harsh on us... lots of shadow & lights.. bad contrast too dark, under exposure, even tho with my cute flash light.. Blast was not strong enough.. =.=;

Below are UWS - white angel...
*credits: thanks to EveLee for trusting me to pinjam me, her camera*... composition totally SALAH...
i was being too nice to those people behind to shoo them off...
wanted to snap karlye only...
due to finger went into frame too..
totally cropped offed... kekeke
but the colours were GREAT. !!

totally GONE CASE... did not expect it to be under exposure..
should be the film ISO.. it was only 160...
did not managed to capture enough lights..

clear & nice... but cropped off too..
my fingers kept blocking the lense.. and i had cropped my photos trail-less-ly...

this is a great ONE... a 0.001% better then the 1st shot... a tleast can see my working station is very obvious my station..

VERY COLOURFUL us ! no idea why Hui Mei & friends was washed off...
lupa this is an analogue.. out of focus area might spoil the lighting..

i love this... this is EVEN nicer... I like the motion effect... A MUST TRY !!!

OVERALL-Y.... i love ANALOGUE !!!!

Thinking hard… thinking deep…

2009-12-01T23:43:00.001+08:00

Friday night was tiring with an unformal Raleigh Meeting in Desa Park City.

stucked in a super jam-ed JALAN KUCHING... drove all the way to Selayang Market (shirleen's ex-house) and made a U-Turn back to use DUKE... as the DARK CAVE road is jam packed & dont seems to move...

DUKE with a toll of RM2, was a smooth ride..

1 Malaysia

2009-10-27T22:39:00.010+08:00

one day at work, I receive some emails regarding 1 Malaysia from Eve... and suddenly i had the urged to write a pantun... thanks to Eve to had copied it down wrote on my FB wall..
as a remembrance i could still able to write such.. i must pen it down in my virtual log... >.<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Berbagai bangsa, berbilang kaum...
1 Malaysia Mungkin adalah impian kepada sesetengah
Melaksanakan atau Menjadikan ia sesuatu Kejadian
Ianya adalah mimpi yang mereka mengharapkan

Untuk aku,
Negaraku tidak lagi perlu aku hidup berperangan
Hidupku berharmoni Hidupku aman berdamai
Setakat dapat aku
Mengelilingi dunia satu kali
Tapi aku tamak, dua kali baru cukupi,
Begitulah impiannya aku.

life, work, Raleigh

2009-10-26T17:24:00.006+08:00

friend 1: i must change my working attitude
friend 2: be happy & cheerful
friend 3: i must get a better job....
friend 4: why am I not working today ?? why ?

i had been emo today... thinking & re-thinking.. about my life...

I had not came to this stage, until i feel I am getting more serious about it.
My life had became undecided & sometimes, full of surprises ... sometimes.. i even surprises myself at that very moment...

I had decide to reply an email and received a call. Looking forward for my interview...
afterall, just like how luying said... my life had a huge changed because of 'Raleigh'...

somehow, somewhere hearing this word other from my bubble of Raleigh friends, it 'triggers' me, tickles me & make me start to think wild & crazy all over again ... *thousands of questions will pop-into my mind*...

so, I will again make another step to step-out-from-what-I-am-doing-now...
It might be a hard step but... I strongly believe it's going to be worth it.

ike some friends says, I want to earn LOTS & LOTS of $$$ to go explore the world...
will my expedition next year to Costa Rica jadi ???
I really do hope I get to embark on one...

but the determination to raise that amount is HARD.. or should I say, it's super hard...
my determination all these while is super low.. and *im super surprise & amazed of a friend FWC who can do it*... *you can see sparkles from my eyes, macam in Manga*

RM30 000.of cold HARD CASH !!.. if I believe i can do it... I MUST do it... I CAN do it...
*I was full of enthusiasm few weeks ago, but after staying up late every night to extra work, I realised I had not enough energy to work my daily work... I cant take it... I really wanted too & I could not...
*that was a hard feeling

I had even stick my piece of paper written "RM30 000" in my room... i really do hope that piece of paper able to motivate me...

During comm meet, everyone had agreed to do selling cookies to Fund Raise for Raleigh KL.
I like the idea... miss those moments my whole family baking cookies...and cake...

I think I should also sell cookies & bake cakes to Fund Raise lor..
and doing it in Penang is so much cheaper...

what do u all think??? as i've got all the resources to do it in Penang...
if any of my job hunting in KL tak jadi & I end my contract, i will most probably do that (with the help of my mom)... I think I can pinjam some oven & bring it over to KL...
I have lots of more human resources in KL to help me bake.. yes... I like the idea...
that's what friends are for !!!...

had a great weekend with the Raleigh Kl committees.... life will never be the same once you've step into this circle of friends...
although it was a small town named Sekinchan, must give some credit... too..

what make the weekend so happening??
some props: mickey costume + Powerpuff ButterCup costume + Pooh costume
rm60+ of cheap snacks + juices + ices
4 bottes of liquer: baileys + malibu + peach + vodka + whiskey (extra kick)
2 cars: jazz + avanza + kenari (extra car)
1 kampung place: Sekinchan
1 semi-D: 4 rooms + 3 bathrooms + 1 living room + kitchen ( to eat drink sleep & play)
1 bungee cord (the magnificent cord could make everyone went *high*)
11 chairs
1 CD player which came with a DJ... (with her collection of CDs)....
2 seafood meal
'grill chicken' rice for breakfast
1 hour of driving with Tampasak view
berekar-ekar of Paddy field
a stolen fallen mango
a free red/purple mango
thousands & thousands of camwhoring in a small town
a collection of cameras: from DSLR to analogs
and
a BUnch of 12 girls & guys, individually crazy fellas

total burned: rm72.00 each...
*what-an-inexpensive-weekend well spend & worth spend*

*extra thanks to our skilled entertainer*
&
miss tamkarlye the TBC organisers !!

happy ending... with good thoughts, good decision & overall, I have caring friends & a bubble of friends who cares about me... >.<>

landed safe & sound

2009-10-19T00:56:00.003+08:00

updates:

firstly, I've got hold of my Diana.. yes.. physical touch.. *it's important*

and i've bought my first gulung of 120 film..
there's Fujifilm & Kodak ~ therefore I asked the aunty which is for what ??

aunty: professional films have smaller / no grains.
non - professional films will have grains.
but if you aren't going to blow them up, actually no different.
me: i asked, so which is Professional?
aunty: both...
me: =.=

(adoi, i was asking which brand la)... of course I know what's Fujifilm & Kodak is famous for la... itu aunty tak faham my Question lor... =.=;
*actually she's no aunty, haha.. just a nice chinese lady trying to explain to me*

so... i've gotten myself a Fujifilm. As I would prefer to snap more outdoor & definately the BIG 'R' people.. therefore Green will appear alot !!!.. haha..

sudah beli, masukkan, only I ingat, I lupa to check the ISO of the film lor.. haihz.. i got a ISO 160.. sedih... :(
so now, im quite stuck with outdoor shots...

this weekend my try Pinhole mode... *im so excited*.. words cant describe my 1st own money $$$ buy analog.. !!!

and after reading the manual & touch it.. baru aku tahu, it's a full manual camera... =.=;
lots of brain juice need to use dah.. hohoho...

that's all for now.. shall post about my excited feeling about my Sekinchan trip this coming weekend !!!!

my Diana F+ had finally landed onto the land, Malaysia...
~ it's a book to read and (half) a lifetime to master it..... >.<

is finally back from 3rd Hong Kong trip

2009-09-17T22:32:00.004+08:00

it's getting short & shorter...

but it was all fun & just GET OUT THERE...
i got too stress out @ work I need to leave the country URGENTLY...

check out Air Asia, the cheapest flight to somewhere I familiar & do not need to spend much was HK & the date, was last weekend lor.. haha...

last minutely took 2 days Annual Leave (my last 2 days of AL with Pru)... also tak kisah bah..

had a blasting time in Hong Kong !!!!..

the most memorable was my THIRD DAY...
HK had officially hoisted TYPHOON 8 on Monday 14 September 2009.
coincidently it was my last day in Hong Kong... means.. all my last minute shopping....

arggghhhh... i would had said, it ruin a little of my time there... sky got dark super fast..
shopkeepers are already in the midst to keep their stuff... (i got lesser time to shop)
all worried & wants to finish off their work ASAP & balik rumah...

inexperience of typhoon 8 me, happily continued shopping in Sheung Wan... i walked/ bristled my way from Sheung Wan to Lan Kwai Fong.. because I had got to get my favourite tee from H&M.. haha.. it's a super colourfull checked tee for HK$99.

loving it...

how was my trip to the Hong Kong Airport?? It was almost a nightmare.
I was already missing HK when I was shopping my last moments in Lan Kwai Fong.. (sms-ed Luyi)
after i stuffed all my shoppings into my rucksack @ Yes Inn @ about 6pm, I quickly wash up my self in the washroom before i grab my rucksack and headed to the bus stop below for BUS 11A to the airport.

happily thinking, i get to shop again @ Hong Kong Disneyland souvenier shop in HKIA... (wheeeeee, more Pooh)
mana tahu, the jam from NT to Airport was super bad.. they'd closed the 7 or 8 lanes toll to only 3..
I believe it was to reduced the amount of vehicles on the bridge (HK famous Ching Ma Dai Kiu)... as the wind was strong.. too heavy might break the bridge? maybe...

so the bus moved a few meters after halted for more than 10 minutes... *in my heart* sei lor...
i was already thinking the worst... who lived nearest to the Airport.. Tom, Spence... maybe i can ajak them for dinner... hahaha...
then catch the next available flight back to KL lor.. what to do...

after a terrible & miserable self-heart-to-self-heart talk, the bus seems to arrive the airport... according to my HP time...
i'm exactly 45 minutes to my departure time... sei lor.. counter CLOSE NOW!!!.. lagi it's HKIA... sure everything is on time..

before the Bus arrived @ Terminal 2 (T2), i'd grabbed my rucksack and all prepared to run to the check-in counter...
once the bus stopped, doors openned. i jumped out & ran as fast my feet could carry me... i was panic @ the big huge screen trying to find where is Kuala Lumpur check in counter for AA,
found.. it was just right behind the big screen...

i flew there, happily i was allowed to check-in... wah... that was like the happiest moments... in recent times.. i ever had.. i did not miss my flight !!!!!
i letak my bag on the weigh-ing strap... SMARTLY.. packed rucksack by me.. it weight 14.8kg... wakakakak... me super expert dah...

everything was smooth... the girl told me i have another 5 minutes to the custom gate & another 10 minutes before the departure gates close... and guess what.. Gate 47 is 2 trains away after the custom... sei again lor...

i ran towards the custom.. but my heart still wanted me to go visit the HK Disneyland gift shop.. so i ran there & check out if there's any Pooh Soft toy keychain... i'd been looking for it for months dah.. masih tak ada..

i ran down to the custom, everything cleared... double Phewed... *somehow raleigh people have a higher heartbeat rate @ these counters*, it's either liquid or penknife.. hahaa...

grab everything, got my passport stamped... ran to the train.. changed train.. ran to the gate..
everyone seems to be sitted nicely & comfily.. i asked "if i still have time to go to the washroom"... yes, i thought tak cukup masa dah... pergi grab some expensive chocolate as food.. as i know i will get hungry & AA does not serve food to non-pre-order passenger in less than 2 hours...

i even managed to walked around to a few other shops to hunt for my Fruitips.. yes.. found it in a shop... over priced by HK$3... dont carelah.. i still LOVE them.. hahaha...

almost bought all available on shelf... hahaha... there weren't much lor...

so happily got into the plane & i pakai-ed my sleeping neck pillow.. nice.. after allowing more air out.. it became more comfy.. and the eyes cover.. was just perfect..
i need all the sleep i need...

as HK was still typhoon 8, the plane had a rough journey the 1st hour... tiba2 jatuh, heart also can feel like pop-out.. haha. but it was fun & i trust our pilot...

hours later, fight delayed & arrived LCCT @ 2am+... sei.. last bust was supposed to be @ 1:15am.. called luyi, she wanted to come pick me from LCCT lor.. i told her dont.. it's so late jor.. let me check if there's still bus..

found.. masih ada.. pop-in told luyi, im safe.. still got bus... an hour later.. i arrived KL central.. should be 3am+ dah.. reached home also dah 4am+

after online abit.. i pengsan-ed.. took MC & i'm too 'sick' too work dah.. ahahaha

shall talk more about my trip & my photos.. (did not took much, was alone and wanted to spend more time shopping) and im also too lazy to dig out my camera which is in the bottom of all my shoppings.. hahaha

looking forward for another Raleigh trip to HK, i believe we will be as crazy as we did during March early this year.. excited.. all over again !!!...

meaningless JOB

2009-08-15T08:00:00.004+08:00

i'm having the urge again yesterday morning after a brief session with the Assistant Director....

the urge to QUIT !
i sms-ed my mom, short & nice, "I want to quit"..

tears was rolling out when I sat infront of my comp, @ my workspace...
trying my best to perform my work...
Years of hardwork, I've never had such an experience... the feeling was different.
During times in Pulau Ubin, I've much worst experiences, but I love that job, therefore I am able to withstand everything, but this is a totally different story...

I'd even changed my log-in-to-system password to "QUIT" how about that?? (we've got to change password every 3-4 weeks, auto prompt).. this is the worst stage of my working life... =.=

"God, please help.... "

below are some of my comments on them...
- if so happy u're one of my teacher is reading this... *this was how i felt la dulu-dulu, students ma.. dont take it too serious kay*

Miss Teoh - is the the super long hair teacher which always tie her hair in a bun ?? wears cheong sam to school and can marah students with her super loud voice... she's pretty.

pn woo. - hated & love her. all books, pencil boxes and rough pads must be in place before she steps into class. she even made one of my classmate denda to stand, she fainted after 10 minutes (since then, no more standing for more than 10 minutes.. haha).. yes, my whole class all got A except one with a B.. which is pretty great job.

ms sharon khoo - she teaches me science is lower Sec (cant remember which), she'd retired & now attending my church in pg - and my mom knows here... >.<

maureen au.. retired for good... i witnessed she knock a student's head (skull) with her knuckles and it was super loud during Rumah Emas practice... eeee.... (she's living happily with her husband in Island Glades)

ms chan was the greatest headmistress anyone would have.. she could actually remember almost all the student's name & would greet us (students) good morning before we even get to open our mouth... *stunning* with her Ms Chan-glorious-ness in CLS.... - last heard she was the timetable scheduler in INTI penang.... (yes, she used to personally schedule all our whole school's timetable back in CLS during her years.. *keng*....

ms yeoh (any remember) ? my std 1 maths teacher... sekurus lidi... always hit student's knuckles with a wooden ruler...

pn ang - my standard 1 form teacher.. miss her lots too !!!... last seen her on the roads in penang, she still dress the same... haha...

pn. loh - std 4 maths teacher in school but i she was my tuition teacher too.. ;)

en. lye... - is he " teacher who always sprinkle "Holy Water" from the mouth" ?? hahaha... was my classmates date.. when we visit her @ her house, we still call him Mr. Lye...

En Ismail - my F2 BM teacher... can tiba-tiba berpantun & puisi in class one... (really hymn/sing them out 1 le)

en naranthiran - dont really like him F2 geography - not much memories of him

miss quah - she's the only teacher i know was once a student in CLS too... *she'll always tell us stories about her teachers, which are then nuns... jokes they make (then she's a student) about their teacher nuns, what do u see when their teacher falling down a hill... "rolling penquins".. haha... (was lame la)

pn cheong - F1 maths teacher.. fond to receive CNY cards fr students.. to bodek, just give her CNY cards, ofcourse during CNY la.. u can see her trying-to-hide smile... haha..

pn cheok - F4 & 5 history - tells great stories but none get into my head...

pn. lee low chun - miss her... dark blue & blue green suit..... the last time i visited school & saw her, she'd white hair... (some la)... did talk to her.. still sound the same.. she was saying, as tho we had just went into F1 again.. time flies... =.=

ms purple rabbit

2008-12-01T15:31:00.006+08:00

months ago...

si eveLee told me, it have a few usage..

1. wrist pad

tee making

2008-12-01T15:00:00.002+08:00

another daily Question: What do I do everyday ?

this is what i make everyday at home...
sitting at home while job hunting....

i make stuff i like... for example this tee... i like the design.. and since we can't make them immediately yet.... i would like to try my handy skills...

the BACK

the FRONT

the designed tee on body

hope you all would love it as much as i do too...

get a tote bag now...

2008-12-01T14:51:00.002+08:00

in support towards the environmental status of our future...
everyone should be environmental friendly..
eg: get an environmental friendly bag...
it can be any bag... u can even re-use plastic bags (for many times)

quoted from 988:
"every Malaysian use 1 plastic bag lesser a day,
Malaysia reduce the usage of plastic bags of 26 Million plastic bags a day.

That's what I call it a Malaysia-Book-of-Records which have to be achieve & recorded...

doing my part: I made myself a bag...
- it's folder-able
- it's convenient
- i can bring it everywhere
- i use less plastic bags
- i like my own design

and to share my love... i'm selling them now...

check out my store @ p0ohz production

* no offense, not that u must support my tote bag to support the environment...
u can use any bags/papers... as long as reduce your usage of plastic bags in your daily life... ;)

cheers..

samsung INNOVA8 RUN - part II

2008-11-04T20:04:00.009+08:00

rise & shine @ 7:30am - slept 4:00am the day before - went for CK's surprise birthday & ended up yamchar with the rest

I was there just in time for the race
as stated, we were supposed to be there by 9:00am for registration

after i went to register myself, I was given a sticker number.
p0ohz mobile is car number 06.
so I am in team 06
after registration, we were divided into 2 TEAMS
My Team went upstairs to go for briefing for the day
Our marshal was Stella. she's great.
we were brief-ed about the Samsung Innov8 Run & the phone itself...
our manuals was not those usual ones you see in box, but it's almost live size (although black & white) printed on A4 papers.
yes, it was so easy to understand how to use those gadgets...
we need to learn them fast
that's the briefing master
i think he kinda syok sendiri...
it's 9:00am (freaking early for me)
wasn't really concentrating to his talk
it only got excited when I thought he was giving us clues..
mana tahu is cara to understand & solves those clues later
this is Samsung CEO or someone big shot ( i cant remember his name)
he was giving his speech
it's 1.5 pages with double spacing (haha)
if u notice the angle, i was sitting right next to him.. ;)

all of these are bloggers...
i meant participants lar, they selected all bloggers to participants...
then people macam aku akan blog about them... hmmm..the race course was organise by Time Out Solutions.
i would say they are great, or rather more than great...
this would be my hardest ever challenge...
anyway, I have another purpose...
i came here to learn too..
as i've a race to do for Raleigh International KL these are the photographers, a string of them... do notice where the official photographer stands..
yes, right up there... nice spot huhh..

above are my group members, a snap before we headed off... *curied*

a snap of the unit we were given... *curied*
each team is given DUA, one with SIM card & another registered with GPS
yes, this baby have got GPS...
and not just that...
it's camera has have got 8.0 MP
you can blow your snap pic into your wall size poster
after some reseach, there's actually other brands which has got 8.0 MP too...
*i shall not reveal here as they did not sponsor me for a Treasure Hunt not give me a unit of their gadget*
but this model is still the preferred choice...
as you can see, it slips right into your pocket fitly
the keypads slide out below

functions: u can even edit videos directly with it
u can insert audio clips into your edit videos

you will never get lost...
*but you will need to pump in more petrol as using GPS in Malaysia aren't 100% fool proof*
they aren't used to our illegal u-turns & etc.
i went another 1KM more just to get to a round-a-bout to do my u-turn... *=.=;
the GPS software tells you there are speed trap when you are in that area
but do not tell you the current traffic condition - *we need this more*
as we spend hours on the roads coz of traffic... cis..

above is one of the crazy thing we did... while others were scary-ing their butt off to do flying fox...
right after our turn with flying fox, we need to head back to start-point, as we need solve a puzzle..
haha... i took less than 90 secs. *thanks to Petrosains*
oh, back to the floor...
while running back, we notice people upthere snapping pictures of us.. and we saw our marshal, Stella..
Jason says sleep down..
without any Qs, we all did what he said.. haha...
oh, there was a truck on our left... i think he was waiting for us to wake-up ;)

foreign tourist might thought we were gila-gila...
apa Malaysians ini buat ??

indeed it was a long day...
just read the route above !!!
we went to all those places ...

by the time i reached the END POINT !!!
i was too tired out to enjoy dinner.
i think the food was OK kua...
i juz grap whatever they still had on tray & had a serving only.. *it was buffet*

later joined karlye & Kian Foh for mamak @ Devi's Bangsar... oh, BJ & friends drop by too
later in the night.. Jia Yaw was there too.. right after his Lawyer Convention...

samsung INNOVA8 RUN-ed

2008-11-02T01:38:00.006+08:00

christal was selected for the Samsung Innova8 Run

group picture before the challenge begins...

*obviously: pictures are taken from smashpop*

it was superbly mentally & physically tiring...

as i was driving
for 8 hours around Klang Valley
*i think I can sampai Singapore dah if I started my journey from Penang...*

but it was something new & fun... i had always wanted to join a Treasure Hunt but never got a chance to
now I got myself into 1, so must learn...

each group were given 2 units of Samsung Innov8

overally... it was greatly planned, until the details.
* i was impressed*

in summary: i get to do Flying Fox in KL Tower for FOC...
nice...
their harness is memang tak same dari Nomad...
oh, we had our cow's tail ON too... (i like the name)
haha.

we were @ KL tower for the Flying Fox challenge
*we dropped dead on the group, flew off from the flying fox*

males to blog
and i've limited pictures as I was driving
no hands snap pics...

in my group was Jason & Azwin...

Jason was my co-driver too...

get to his blogs for more of his pictures la

i'm still waiting for mine...

*hope it will arrive soon*

i'll blog more about it, very soon

what a weekend !!

2008-10-26T21:55:00.028+08:00

i guess, i wouldn't not have such a weekend before?

I joined the Mix.fm SUBARU Palm Challenge...

as I've it in my Facebook status and also in MSN...
many had question me, what did I do in the palm challenge ?

Did i slap someone non-stop ?
big NO NO

what I did was, have my RIGHT palm on a latest SUBARU car.

the day before, or rather hours before the challenge registration starts, I packed my stuff & went to karlye's hours to sleepover.
as usual, she sleeps in her cocoon

i wanted to wake up @ 6:00am & be there early for the registration.
*kiasu-ness in my believe, there will be a long Queue outside Pavilion*

instead when I woke up & saw my watch it's already 7:00am.
so cepat-cepat wash-up & bath
wake karlye up & started our journey to KL

when we arrived, there wasn't much people
karlye's registration # was 27 & mine 28

we then jump into a bus & headed to Petaling Street for BREAKFAST
(as per karlye's request)
anyway, it had been long I had proper chinese breakfast feel in a market...
since I'm up so early, why not ?

after makan, we do not know which bus to ambil balik to BB area.
we asked around
saw the bus had just left
we continue walking
ended up we walk back to BB
it was a nice warm-up walk before the challenge

about 40 minutes later, we arrived back in Pavilion
to draw balls

the organisers had actually planned 300 or more would want to register for this challenge

from 300, all participants would have to lucky draw ping pong balls from a huge box.
WHITE = you are OUT
BLUE = you are IN
~ provided you answer your question correctly
my Question was: Which other 4 countries are also competing for this SUBARU palm challenge?
= Hong Kong, Philippines, Thailand and Singapore

and I got a BLUE ball with my NUMBER 16 on it!!

an hour later we need to get back to the stage area for the briefing before we start our PALM CHALLENGE in PAVILION, KL ~ Bukit Bintang Entrance

so happy me, karlye & my friend ( who just heard about this challege the day before while we were lunch-ing) got to managed ourself into palm-ing onto the car

so happily like a kid, waiting for her ice-cream...

but this time... we must stay under sun & rain

at 1:00pm the sun was blazing hot
all were hopping for rain & clouds

as i was number 16, besides me was 15 & 17, they were both students & they were having exams very soon...
haha... that's how crazy Youths nowaday....

but all I had in my mind was to challege the other 59 people palm-ing this car...
all i want is just to get myself into the top 10

i need to leave this country...
im getting bored
and i cannot afford a trip to leave Malaysia

so that was my aim...
i must be the last 10....
MUST

in between our time under the hot sun & sky, we've small challenges to do
eg:
1. holding a 500ml bottle of water to trim our biceps & triceps
2. sucking lime ~ everyone enjoyed it
3. eating banana with one hand (without skin)
4. blowing off a stick-on on our forehead ~ easily done for the girls (esp oily face)
5. sushi with loads of wasabi ~ love it: the amount was almost the same as how I usually eat
6. 2 raw eggs ~ love it: i always eat 40% cooked egg ~
7. standing on ONE feet for 15 minutes ~ THIS is the most challenging one, as I am heavy & putting all my weight on one feet is like Killing me slowly: my whole of left FOOT was NUMB for almost 15 minutes
8. balancing a FHM mag on our head for 1 minute
9. holding a 1.5Litre of mineral water on our LEFT hand & have it straight HIGH.... elbow must now bend
* i think, that was easy as I was trying to use my left hand*
- been using too much energy on RIGHT dah...

all those small challenges was happening during our 7 hours of palm-ing with a SUBARU
we had a 10 minutes break after 6 hours
- it was a nice break for me
- i skip toilet, as I feel, I do not had an urged to go toilet & i would need to rest my right palm than anything else...

i was advice to go straight to the hospitality tent
= we were served, bananas, muffins, sausage bread, 100+, mineral water
i grab some food & sitted
i told the medic i need ice for my right palm + it was nice... to put preasurre on it...
another medic asked if I want a massage? it was not that nice compare to Valerie's but better than none...

after about 8 minutes I gave my ice to Melissa who juz had her food & water...
headed back to my number 16 spot before the start time..
clean my palm spot, as it was dirty from my sweat & dirt... (6 hours)
dry my palm & place back my right palm on it...
now dry & clean, it was nice again to place it there...

there were 12 of us at this time

one guy got kick out cause his whole palm were out of position
while walking out
his legs were weak and he was limping out with help

6:45 was the last small challenge
as mention above, to carry the 1.5Litre mineral water straight up in the air with left hand
- it was not a big fuzz for me

but not to the girl on my right #18, she was having a hard time there
her elbow were bend
and the big Mix.fm guy turn his head & saw her bend-ed elbow, terus blow whislt and eliminated her out... (auwch)

and the LAST 10 of us manage to get ourself a place for the Finals in Singapore !!!
only me and Melissa were the 2 girls out of the 10...

wah!!! Singapore here I come...

*check us out @ Mix.fm official site*

i would say,
the sun did not kill me... as I am an outdoor person,
my feet aren't killing me as well, as I was in my hole-ed Crocs... *claps to Crocs*

when it was finished, we went up stage for our proud photo moments!!!
my legs were numb little and almost trip... lol...

but after done, with interview with Subaru... and being brief about Finals.. in SG...

we can leave...

i went straight to my car & drove to Amy's house for Raleigh Comm Meet...
i was welcome-ed to the meeting... they were already halfway though...

bagus i applied leave to be not available for meeting from boss, but i still managed to make it the last few hours..

after all day out in the sun (literally) we went for mamak, but bought KL style Chee Cheong Fun... and ate there..
it was cheap (rm2.30)
- althought my kurang manis teh ais became sugar-less

i had a great day...

SUNDAY
i hibernated the whole day in bed...
right arm were still a bit stiff..
now able to type smoothly...
legs are just little tired...

compared to a full marathon run for 6 hours... ;)

whewww... Singapore here I come...
will be Flying in on 6 - 12 November 2008
food, accomodation & transportation are provided...

what else more??

oh, the last Malaysian standing in SG will win SG$ 5 000 and ofcourse last person standing will win a SUBARU !!!
worth RM180 K

what am I aiming for???
leaving the country.. hahaha...

oh. did i mention last year's record was 76 hours palm-ing on a SUBARU ?
and it was a women...

wish me all the best !!!

* sorry no pics, coz hands & feet to tired to snap one*

and I had no helper during my 5 minutes break... coz she went to attend Comm Meet in time...
so tarak gambar...

samsung INOVAT8 RUN

2008-10-20T23:50:00.003+08:00

I juz found out through FACEBOOK that Samsung having an Adventure Treasure Hunt Run...

i have always dreamt of getting myself in a car treasure hunt...
but chances always don't come in the right time... *sadly*

this time round... i found it.. yes... i found it... hopefully I would still be able to make it tho... while i was Facebook-ing from Group to Group, I found someone posted up about this contest... therefore.. I am gonna give it a Hit!!!

I've always love map reading & driving around...
it had always been a leisure to drive around Malaysia & explore roads & places which I had never been before...

and I believe through this event organised by Samsung, it would be my best opportunity to hunt for treasures in my home country...

Indeed, I have a blog(which i blog quite often lately), I own a car (although it is still in dept) and I have been craving for super long for such a race like this...

hopefully I will be considered & I get to entry this race...

*praying super hard*

2 policemen came to my house...... « ¤ p 0 o h ¤ »

2008-09-28T22:38:00.009+08:00

THAT was my yesterday's MSN nick:

pertama...
-thank you to all my friends which did concern about me...

apa terjadi sebenarnya?

i was as usual, sitting in my corner, online...
as my corner is juz right next to my house door
i heard foot steps..
at this hour?? about 4:00pm on Saturday..
both my parents are at home
sis at work
we are not expecting any guess...

i turn around and saw 2 police officer walking towards my house ....

*my mind went black*

i was thinking hard... did i did something wrong?
speeding? ~ that was what i could think off... LOL...
- but i memang been ikuting the speed limit...
- should be tak mungkin... (this possibility)

I panggil my parents..
"Mi, yau char lou lei"

They tak dengar me @ first...
Not until I walk out and greed the police... huahahaha..
funny le..
ada police datang ke rumah cari....
*always see in TVB series, police knock on house doors,
but tak pernah saya experience*
*heart beats ... phop... phop phop... phop phop. phop phop*

What did my concern friends thought it was?
1. ISA?
2. I do drugs?
*lagi tanya aku
"what drugs u sell?"
"y never tell us one?"
"can pong chan u mar."
3. They come tangkap me?
"What did you do wrong?"

TIDAK KEPADA SEMUA !!!

ternyata...
they were asking for my dad...
ME: See, I really did say, 'Yau Chai Lou Lei'
Parents tak percaya me @ first

What is this big FUSS all about?
sampai ada police datang cari di rumah aku !!!!

When they mention my dad's name...
*phew, AKU tak langgar sesiapa*
it's my dad they are looking for..
and I can actually guess what it was all about!!!

months ago...
my dad tangkap 2 orang pencuri TANGGA
not with any SUPER canggih motorbike, but with his 'lau iea' market bike... LOL

how did it ALL happened ??

STORY 2!
my dad pass by a gated landed property in Penang Island, with his 'lau eia' motor
he saw 2 Malay guy climbing out from that house along with a LADDER
my dad shouted @ them
they fled off along with the LADDER
my dad tak cuba pun kejar them with his market motor
so he thought,
lepas je lah...
apa boleh buat...

my dad moves on few streets later
my dad recognise the LADDER was just infront of him
*yes, those thiefs still transporting the ladder*
on the other side my dad saw a POLICE on his bike
my DAD shouted to the POLICE, these 2 are thiefs
the rest...
POLICE officer did his job .... ;)

my DAD follow them to police station
smack with a SAMAN KEPADA SAKSI

*please refer picture below*

as mention earlier this happened many months ago...

my DAD sudah pun pergi ke mahkamah sekali
and kes di tunggahkan

SAMA this time
SEND personally another Saman *change of date*
CASE sudah di POSTPONE

and these 2 police officers did mention
this CASE will take about 2 YEARS to settle

begitulah cerita nya...

so, AKU TAK ADA MENGENA DENGAN
ISA
tak speed
tak do drugs
tak do anything haram...

continue-ing my grape plucking days in Penang peacefuly

nitez...

*this long post actually reminds me of my previous post about my accident encounter with the Indians... *

complains, complains and more complains

2008-09-25T23:13:00.006+08:00

What am I up to @ Penang ?

I did have some complaint(s) made to various people or rather various companies...

Firstly,
MILO.. yes our proud MALAYSIAN coco powder drinks...
I bought a pack of 2KG MILO from Cold Storage, Gurney Plaza, about 2 weeks ago.

After drinking it for a few times & confirmed it with my sis, It does taste NOT SWEET and the texture is not right, compared to the usual MILO i drank.

Therefore I took the packet up & called its Customer Service Numbers.
Did a complain to them & an appointment was made to meet up to their respective agent in Penang.
But I'm still yet to hear from them yet.

STORY TWO
A visit to TESCO Penang.
As I did mention in my previous post. Penangites really do simply park their cars even in supposed given carparking lots. So I again, did a complain to TESCO. Not verbally (I think those stores people will not take things seriously), I write through their website. And today, I received a reply from them.
I did told them the pic (below) I took during the time 'I tak puas hati'.
So very happy with their customer service.

STORY NUMBER THREE
I bought a Wireless Router a week ago from Harvey Norman.
I asked them is it Pliug & Play? The guy told me, YES. All instructions are in it & it'll be very easy SETUP.
I went back tried, and tried & tried lagi, cuma dapat SETUP the wireless setting with A GIVEN NAME.
But, i cant dial-up my broadband when through it? If straight to the modem, boleh.
So I called up EZTECH for techninal support, LADY told me, TECHNITIANS busy, leave Number & they will call back.
OK.
I tak boleh tahan & I called Harvey Norman, their IT department told me to bring my ROUTER along with my BROADBAND username & password to their Outlet in QBay.
Next day, I bawa all mention stuff. Tapi they told me Technitians on-leave.
say i leave in shop & come back, when I hand over, they asked for my Laptop.
Which ofcourse I tak bawa.
So I 'luan' with the guy lar.
Bad service.
Tak suruh aku bawa tapi NAK aku bawa.
After they cant satisfy ALL my answers.
I decided to asked for a REFUND.
which the guy did not really wana give me back my $$$.
I insisted.
Later store manager came out with Refund Form.
HaHa.

Akhirnya my mom filled in form & i hopefully we can get back the Refund in her next month's creditCard statement.

oh I bought it for RM99.50 @ Harvey Norman.

Then i went check-out around Prangin Mall, it's selling for RM120.00 but with full Technical Support.
They even provide FREE service to set it up @ my house.
...Whow...
i actually regretted buying @ Harvey Norman; after checking out @ Prangin Mall that they provide such services.
now after the refund thing, NEXT, is to go get a Wireless Router @ Prangin... ;)

*happy smiley*

haihz... why i have so much to complaint ??

another happy thing

I will be having a booth @ Upper Penang Road this Sunday 10am-6pm.
selling handmade craft from MadameDexterous

a preview of what i have in store...
*click picture to enlarge*

much more crafts will be for sales too...
eg: eraser handmade crafted stamp
Hahaha... check out my sales blog for more pictures update...

now i kena bekerja keras untuk produced more craft for Sunday's sales... !! ;)

penang positively & negativity

2008-09-18T16:38:00.003+08:00

bad things do happen in Penang, especially the way, the place & time on how we park our cars/vehicles..
there's no specific way actually
remember those side parking you learn when you get your license?
In Penang
after you mastered your side parking on the LEFT side of the road, you will then learn SIDE PARK on the RIGHT,
then the front, then the back & where ever you feel the size of your car can fit into a certain spot or anywhere on earth.

Objective: Is to get what you intent to get
This include parking your vehicle(s) anywhere, to get down & grab whole of what you intended to get or more.
blocking another vehicles or not (double park, triple, or quadruple) blocking entry of a road or blocking the entrance of KAMPUNG... as long as you can get the HOKKIEN MEE or CHAR KOAY TEOW you are craving for...

below: these car owners must went to TESCO, snatch to buy toilet paper.

bad
tesco, Penang
bad way to park their cars, blocking those coming out from lot..
eg: my car which was a big 'mah fun' to masuk & keluar
sudah pun aku complain to Tesco.

No idea why, since young, whenever there's a SUPERMARKET sales happening, pasti banyak orang keluar with atleast a 1 pack of (10 rolls) or 3/4 packs of toilet papers.... y?? does this happens in your city too?

a roller coaster ride...

2008-07-21T13:52:00.005+08:00

a camping trip FOR REAL *updated*

4.5 hours of hike

freaking 15KG of weight in my rucksack
- 7 liter of water = 7KG
- 1 sleeping bag
- 1 set of dry clothes
- 1 jacket
- few packets of dried snacks
- 5 packet of PENANG HARMEE
- 1 personal 1st aid kit
- 3 big bin plastic bags (1 human can fit int)
= 1 with cutted holes for head & 2 arms (coz i do not have any wind-breaker & i have no budget to get 1 yet, so
this is the cheapest way, waterproof lagi)
- 1 gore-tex cap with neck protection (very good, as its cold weather up there-protect from rain & cold wind)

i think that's all..

but amazingly i managed to finished the DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP trek in 4.5 hours.... (1 way)
i could not believe i made in with 15kg loaded behind me...
another 4.5 hours DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP trek to get back to beginning of trail...

Gunung Brinchang getting to Gunung Irau
- trail was super muddy, nice place for commando course with the amount of mud...
i salah kaki into 1 of the pit & i masuk til almost knee.
- windy & breezy, very nice - i suka
- nice environment
- i trek almost alone on the way back.. tak payah takut u will sesat... coz i found my way out..
(the cepats: too fast, i tak boleh ikut & i was using too much brain cells to think which how to get downhill)
(the kuras: im not sure if im in the kuras this time coz amazingly i can actually hike faster than i expected i usually do, lagi with the weight i have in my bag)

final outcome:
- i gain lots of bruises on my lower legs, atleast 10 blue-black
- muds are still stuck in my toe & finger nails
- there are still muds on my lower leg skins... how can i remove them ar???
i've scrub them intensively but they are still on skin.... how??
= maybe i can try medi & pedicure or go Dr Fish ?? hmm.. i think they're gonna extra charge me..
- conquered ONE more MOUNTAIN... not that i've conquered many in my life...
= but i've tried Mount K & Mount Bromo - both super nice & super cold...

why i could possible do so??
- 3 hours of intensive training in 1Utama (running around, 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups)
- walking/trekking for 35 minutes into Templers Park waterfall with 6liter of water in my rucksak
- short jogs around my condo (very short-too lazy & many mossy)
- my Deuter 50 + 10liter bag... super keng.. if without it, i would not have make it to the top with the weight i need to carry up...

that's all for now.. will post up some pics after i curi from FB... lol... :D

a short time to decide

2008-07-06T23:55:00.004+08:00

christal had decided to hike up Mount Irau

yes... christal is going to hike up Mount Irau

- where on earth is that ???

- i am sure many had kenal our Cameron Highlands

- betul, i will be starting to hike up from Brinchang

the peak... will be cool...

sejuk sampai memang perlu pakai jacket wind breaker....

what i 'like' now is a Jacket from THE NORTH FACE

the jacket is selling at the price of rm486 in Parkson

- something which i could not afford

- but i really like it

- i am starting to save-up for it

- something i foresee it will be super hard for me to save up to this amount...

PROs

- it's water proof, mana ada so nice punya raincover lagi...

- which is why it will cost me rm 486, original price is aout rm636 = cuma bout 25%

- i will try to wait longer & see if the price will drop & still have stock....

to those are in US, Hong Kong and would like to do me a favour... please do check out this jacket for me in wherever on Earth You are....

colour: BLACK

size: XL
so pls do me this BIG HUGE favour if you still have a *heart* for this little friend you have back in Malaysia...

trima kasih...

apa boleh buat dengan hidup kami ?

petrol naik harga lagi...
i'm sure many had been cursing & swearing our gahmen dari jam 5 petang ystd.
*or even before that when the news had somehow leaked out before 5pm

theStar reported pagi tadi jam 11, ada peaceful protest but was disperse by police at 12:30pm.
- NO INJURIES
- NO DEATH

but what can i do now with my little snip of gaji ?

Expenses before petrol naik:
car loan RM 400
room rent RM 300
computer installment RM 333
Food & Beverages RM 500
Petrol RM 450
Total expenses = RM 1983

how to go shopping now & travelling...
