Queue Jumpers Beware

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

If I were to make a separate website dedicated to share pictures of queue jumpers, would anyone be interested in joining in? It can be worldwide as queue jumper is not a rare breed. Queue jumpers deserve to be shot, and if I have the power like Sylar I would have thrown the truck upside [...]

Aedes, Go to Bandar Baru Bangi

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

This picture was snapped in front of the shop next to Restoran Amir, Seksyen 9, Bandar Baru Bangi. Yes, behind Pusat Rawatan Az-Zahrah and Pusat Rawatan An-Nur the two big medical centers. Aedes can’t read blogs, so if you’re a public health officer go there and try to do your job.

Locked Fire Door at SOGO Kuala Lumpur

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

I can’t help noticing that all fire doors next to the elevators are all locked. I do understand that fire doors need to be kept closed at all times and some are locked electronically but these were locked using padlocks. In the event of an emergency, would the person responsible be running from floor to [...]

Shop Jusco or Carrefour

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

I have been doing groceries shopping alone for about 20 days now, and I have always done it at Jusco. However today since I had to pick up my spectacles from Focus Point I went to Carrefour instead. There were several differences between Jusco and Carrefour and to tell you the truth I prefer Jusco. [...]

On Property Purchase and Money3

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

As some of you might already know I bought a property in August, and the banking procedures were dragged until September where RHB Bank suddenly wished to change the loan amount. My agent, agent S was a 22 year old mobile agent I found through word of mouth. She was not helpful because she didn’t [...]

Anonymous Cowards

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Anonymous coward – this is the default user name that is displayed on Slashdot for users who wishes to post comments anonymously. It’s really an appropriate term. Why would you want to be anonymous if you really believe what you’re talking about? I am mainly disappointed with people who are promoting racial tension in Malaysia. [...]

What Happened to My Upload Speed?

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

For quite some time I have been working from home with no difficulties, and I am happy with the speed. Sometimes I even have 3 or 4 terminal service windows open, juggling between them to complete my tasks. However this morning when I tried to utilize my Nortel IP Softphone 2050 to call my boss [...]

Google @enstek

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

From conversations I had with my colleagues at work, and from other friends I heard that Google is going to have presence in Malaysia, specifically at @enstek in Sepang. It’s a new flagship area opening its wings to tech companies from all over the globe. Is this really true? In some stories I even heard [...]

This Is Not SPAM

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Since the past 2 weeks I have been receiving funny and annoying emails that start exactly like this: Maaf menganggu.. Maaf, ini bukan SPAM (This is not a SPAM). Tapi untuk menyampaikan satu berita mengenai biz yang menguntungkan Kalau tak berminat delete saja And each of them is actually promoting different programs: i.e. easy money, [...]

What Happened to Marché Mövenpick?

Monday, November 17th, 2008

I went to have lunch at Marché Mövenpick at The Curve on Saturday and I was a bit disappointed by the lack of staff and all the waiting we had to do. While I understand that the system is for you to order and wait they should not have ask people to come back in [...]

First Impression on mangkuktingkat.com

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Mangkuktingkat.com is a very convenient service, initiated by YAYASAN PEMBANGUNAN NUR HIKMAH. The intention is good – to help single moms and women to excel in business. We are subscribing to a month’s worth of lunches and dinners for the month of November. The food tastes good (not great) and it’s worth every cent paying [...]

SMART Tunnel Woes

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I just watched a segment from TV3′s Buletin Utama about complaints regarding the closure of the SMART tunnel. It amuses me with the fact that people seem to be blaming it on the tunnel management alone when the reason is closure is known – to redirect water. For the ignorant or the unrelated readers from [...]

Ramadhan: McDonald’s Breakfast Starts at 5.00

Monday, September 1st, 2008

I have just returned from a short trip to Taman Equine McDonald’s to look for some light food for sahur. It was exactly 4.22 AM when I arrived at the drive-thru. We wanted to have the big breakfast set but the voice on the display said “during Ramadhan breakfast starts at 5.00 AM”. I said [...]

Jusco Baby Cots

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

We went for baby shopping again on Saturday, this time at Mid-Valley. Surprisingly there are not as many choices as in The Curve. We’re looking for a cot, stroller, car seat, and playpen. While in Jusco I saw this sign on one of the baby cot: I know I know, it means don’t put your [...]

Telephone Harassment

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Prepaid SIM cards are convenient, and there is no doubt that a lot of people in this planet have gained great benefit from them. Some countries have imposed a law that all prepaid SIM cards must be registered to the telco so that they (the authorities) can track down criminals and people who are misusing [...]
