A colleague shared that her brother’s 2 days old Toyota Camry was hijacked on Kesas highway yesterday.  The hijackers bumped into his car and naturally one would come down to see the damage.  He was held at knife point by 3 guys and releaved of his car.  The hijackers were driving a Honda (didn’t ask what make).

Lucky for him, he was left by the road side unharmed.  To make things worst, no one came to his aid nor stop when he hailed.  He was forced to walk all the way to Summit.

 Moral of the story, be careful when you meet an accident.  This modus operandi is not new.  Try to take note of the number plate of the car, model and colour and the time of the accident.  Then drive slowly to a populated area like petrol station or highway R&R to negotiate.  If the other car dissappears from sight, you can go to the nearest police station to make a report of the incident.  And this is the time one would wish that they had installed a satellite tracking device on their car.

Ikano Power Centre is nice enough to prepare these 3 bins in every corner of the store. Blue for plastic, Green for paper and Black for other trash.  But are the shoppers ready and willing to spend a couple seconds more to consider which bin to use?  Well, for some, it’s just too much to ask … sigh!

This “special” menu was spotted at a Korean restaurant in Danau Desa. Spelling aside, it looks yummy … gosh … I want my clab *drool*drool*

Remember the ad of a guy who refused to give up his seat in the LRT couple of years ago? He pretended he was sleeping and all?

Well, few days ago another breed was spotted on the busy morning LRT. Despite the crowd standing around him, this young and more than able guy was more concerned about his beg falling over. Sigh! With all the campaigns on “Malaysian cares”, you still have such inconsiderate “pig” around.

This particular song was circulated during Christmas last year (just 2 weeks ago). Unfortunately, it is not your normal “Jingle Bell” but rather a ‘ham sap‘ version. Just thought of sharing it … in light of the earlier Penal Code 377A.

You’ve been warned!

I was in Melaka over the weekend and spot the welcome sign below:

The English translation at the bottom was derived directly from the BM version. It just reminded me of my BM teacher, Mr Tan who thought us “Hukum DM“. It simply means “Diterangkan” & “Menerangkan” (Being Described & Describing It). BM is on the reverse of English as far as “Hukum DM” is concerned. What am I rambling about?

eg. Kereta Biru

Kereta - Diterangkan (the object that is being described)
Biru - Menerangkan (detail that describes the object/car)

Hence, in English, we need to translate and reverse the order to “Blue Car“. Other examples:

Kucing Gemuk = Fat Cat
Rumah Besar = Big House
Orang Gila = Crazy Person

i know this happened yonks ago, but i’d like to jot this down somewhere for my own personal milestone trackings

well most of you would have ended the year, either having a blast in some party filled with lots of food and great company… and not to mention the many fireworks display to celebrate the year end…

well yours truly, was on leave on the 31st Dec 2007 and being super kiasu decided to spend the remaining RM220 off the RM1700 allowance for spectacles and dental, by going to the dentist for scaling.

just a little note to all those who don’t already know. i’m petrified when the thought of going to visit a dentist comes around!! in those good old days my parents would have to go in to the room with me, and hold my hand through out the whole ordeal!! yeah its that bad!!

when they started the restaurant business and hardly have time to go with me to my dental visits, jason my best friend would have to go with me, gee how many of your best pals has seen you with your mouth wide open and knowing all the cavities you have in there?

one day he told me, “i wonder how you are going to give birth next time!”

ok ok to cut the story short, i went to the dentist widely recommended by my colleagues which is close to my home,  i went alone for the first time in my life!!!

sat down on the chair, told the dr, “please clean my teeth ok? im scared, so be gentle with me… ”

half way cleaning he got on a very sensitive spot! i yelped and he stopped to have a clearer look, and gave me my death sentence!! “your top left wisdom tooth has got a cavity, looks like we got to remove it”.

my mind went blank, wisdom tooth?  remove?? OMG i haven’t had a tooth removed in like more than 10 years!!

he gave me my jabs, then left me for a while to let the anesthetic kick in, with my hands shaking i sms my mom, wazir, jason, fen fen and shaf and god knows who else… that feeling was horrifying!

when the dr came back to attend to me, the nurse held my hand as the pliers went in my mouth and out of my view, next i heard it grip my teeth and a cruuuck and felt a yank… and it was all over!! phewwww

good bye to my wisdom tooth and also to year 2007

These two days saw Dr Chua Soi Lek shooting to stardom … the wrong way. Everything he revealed to the press had somehow been used against him (especially the Chinese papers). One of his biggest blunder in my opinion was when he said the following:

“I saw the DVD on Sunday when a friend gave a copy to me,” he said. He said he was unsure whether the clips were recent or old.

- The Star, 2 Jan 2008

Eh?? How long has this been going on?

And today, in Page 2 of the Sun, the police was asked if they will investigate Dr Chua for allegedly indulging in oral sex, an offence under Section 377(a) of the Penal Code.

Now, this may be news to many. Oral and anal sex are actually serious offences under the Laws of Malaysia, Act 574 Penal Code. Hence, before you indulge into such acts, please understand your rights or lack of it:

Shocked yet? And before anyone go shouting foul over human rights or joy for those who now has a good reason to turn down their partner’s request, etc, the Penal Code 377 was first introduced by the British to Straits Settlement of Singapore, Malacca and Penang in 1872. It was later included in the Penal Code of both Malaysia and Singapore. There you go, we may be ‘Merdeka’ but we are still bounded by laws created by some “ang-moh” over a century ago.

On the lighter side … according to the definition of 377A, it’s only illegal for a man to receive oral sex but not the other way round … think about it.

i’ve been wanting to watch Enchanted for a really really long time… and i had my wish come true last saturday hehehe…. i have this thing for all Disney movies and cartoons… somehow i just love all their songs, and story line too… every single one leaves you with a feel good feeling and the songs will keep singing in your head for a while

i have to concur with Nastasshea@Nesh on the service quality of Manhattan Fish Shop too… there were just too many of them hanging around the counter chatting rather than serving customers, the lady on our right accidentally poured water onto herself and it took quite a while for them to flag one person down to get them tissues, and when they did, they got the tissue and delivered to our table instead :S

anyway here are some pics of our lunch today..
