Something Is Wrong With ME!!!

Incident 1
I've a habit to make hot drink every morning. As usual I scoop milo into my cup today and get hot water pour into my cup. The next second only I realise I'm opening tap water into my cup. Oh, Shit!

Incident 2
I went into a lift at level 1 and wanted to go up. I pressed the level button and the door closed gradually. However, the lift didn't go up at all, the ventilator stopped functioning as well. Oh my, don't tell me the lift has brokedown! I took out my handphone and about to call for help, I thought why don't I try to press the open button first.

Surprisingly, the open button still functioning and the door opened. I went into the lift and press the button again, same thing happened. I was confused why only the open button is functioning. I checked the level button also didn't light up when I pressed, I guessed something is wrong with this button.

Suddenly, a blink of light flash in my mind, I noticed that I'm actually pressing the level 1 button instead of the level I wanted to go. What the?!!!!!

Happy Niu Year !!!!

It's been a long long while since my last post, I thought my blog will be abandoned but still I can see many people dropped in to say 'hi', that's very touching and encouraging. With that, Oren want to give a big thanks to you all, muaks!

Also not to forget, Oren want to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy Niu year!!!

Season To Eat Bak Zhang

Two more days will be Bak Zhang Day. A lot of hawkers start selling bak zhang, so it's not very hard to get it now. The variation of bak zhang also getting more and more, namely sambal bak zhang, yam bak zhang, salted egg bak zhang, .etc.


However, bak zhang nowadays is not cheap though, 1 biji of bak zhang can sell up to RM2 - 3 (can pay for 1 bowl of kolo mee =S), gulp ~

Aaa ... but then I like to eat bak zhang waa, so what to do? =\

Petrol Price Is Hiking Up!

The rice price has just increased today, the petrol price will increase later midnight, what's next? Geram betul ~

Today evening I received a sms from my friend saying that the petrol will go up to RM2.70 per litre by tomorrow. While I still doubting the trueness of this message, I received a reply say 'It's true'.

If the petrol is going up to RM2.70 per litre, that's about 40% increase, don't play play! I went to NST Online to check the news, I saw the news title, it's so true ~>..<~

So, what's next? When think of every 10 litres I've to pay extra RM7.90 (average equivalent to my lunch for 1 day, damn!), of course I rushed to petrol station to pump petrol lor, since my fuel tank almost finished.

By the time I reach petrol station, seems like a lot of people already know the news. There are millions of cars queued up at the petrol station =.= I waited about 25 mins to reach my turn, not too long laa hor? ^_^

However, that's not end of the story, I'm very concern about the living after this. I strongly believe a lot of sectors will follow the wind, this increase and that will increase relatively, because all of these are co-related. .\/. ang chua cho?~~~

Should I start to learn how to ride bicycle? Plant my own paddy? =\

My New Toys

This entry is all about lady stuff, so men are strictly prohibited. No laa, if you are interested to read, I don't mind also, hiak, hiak, hiak!

So ummm ...What's about? It's about my new toys which I got them from my Penang trip lately, and I really really like them a lot.

So, here I present my new toys to you, ta~lang~

* Shiseido Eye Lashes Curler
* Maquillage Eye Liner Gel
* Stila Shadow Pots / Eye Mouse

* Stila Illumination Concealer

* Stila Major Lash Mascara (Free gift - sample size)

* Stila Multi-Effect Mascara (Free gift - sample size)

Among these toys, I particularly like the Stila Eye Shadow Pot very the much. Why is it so? It's simply because the eye mouse help to provide a shimmering eye looks that won't crease. Usually if we apply eye shadow for longer period, we will notice the eye colour looks scraped at the eye lid area. On top of this, it provides an intense eye color effect, this is great, isn't it?

As for the eye lashes curler, I like it because it helps to create a nice and long lasting curl than my normal one. While the Maquillage Eye Liner Gel allows me to control the thickness of the eye liner. If I want to create a smokey look, I'll then draw a thicker line and it's very easy to apply though. Another thing I like about it, is that, you don't have to wait until it dry before you open your eyes ; )

Another thing that I won't miss is my concealer, because I've dark circle and eye bags problem =( Lastly, is the mascaras ~ Yeah, I like mascara especially the multi-effect mascara that gives voluming, lengthening and curling effect. (Can I get a full size one? tsk~ tsk~ tsk~ behave, Oren!)

Stila Shadow Pots

I don't get paid for this entry, but I paid for those items ~>..<~

Lady~ lady~ lady~ =\

FryDays

I've been to this fast food restaurant few weeks ago. This restaurant has just open not so long ago, it's called FryDays. From it's name, I think you can roughly guess this restaurant is selling something fried. Yeah, it's selling fried chicken ^^

Interior of FryDays

I was made known to this restaurant by SP, who has recommended me to try their plum flavoured fried chicken. In fact, they offer 3 types of flavour, namely original, hot & spicy and plum. SP also recommended me to try their wedges, so I tried. The wedges are actually 'ubi kayu' (my brain stuck, what's ubi kayu in englishhhh arr?) instead of potatoes which usually served by other fast food restaurant, not bad.

Set B (2 pcs of chicken, 1 regular carbonated drink, french fries, bun, salad), RM8.55

However, I add-on RM0.50 to change the french fries to wedges, because I want to try the wedges

Personally, I found the plum flavoured fried chicken is quite nice. When having my meal there, I have an idea flash into my mind - grab the whole can of plum powder from the chef, then I sendiri pour as much plum powder as I want on the fried chicken. (aherm, greedy Oren, behave, behave!)

Set E (1 pc of chicken chop, 1 regular carbonated drink, wedges, salad), RM8.25

If I recall correctly, the restaurant open daily, from 10 something in the morning until 9 something at night? Oh yeah, not to forget, the restaurant is located at Ang Cheng Ho, the shoplots opposite to Mdm Tang.

2 Months ...

I have not updated my blog for almost 2 months simply because I was bogged down with a lot things but sometimes is because the lazy bugs sting kin me also, so ... =P

However, time just fly without waiting for us and a lot things have happened within these 2 months. Friends are also leaving the Miao Miao town for their future undertaking ... sob ... sob ... T__T (Nevermind, then I have reason to fly over maa~ [whistle] make sure you girls reserve a space for me to squeeze .\/.)

Anyway, I hope to update my blog more often (at least not once in two months >..<) and I really really hope to catch up with fellow bloggers out there. I guess I must have missed out a lot of your postings.

Why Men Like To Shake Their Legs?

I've wondering this for quite some times, don't get offended if you are reading this entry, I'm just curious. I noticed that men like to shake their leg whenever they're in sitting position (somemore a lot patterns). Any reason why it's so?

Whenever I go to food court, conference, dinner reception, restaurant, .etc as long as there're places to sit down (don't tell me there're people shake their leg in standing position -.-), I can see them naturally start shaking their legs after they sit down for a while. For me this is no big deal laa, just curious.

However, sometimes this can be very annoying if you happen to sit together with those super shake one. Imagine when you are eating, the table tend to shake ~ shake ~ shake ~; Or, when you are sitting on a long bench, the whole bench just shake ~ shake ~ shake ~ =____=

Got Scare No Danger 有惊无险

It's late night, we're at our room and it's almost time to go to bed. Suddenly, the fire alarm broke the quietness. First thing flashed into my mind, 'Got fire mer?' then I opened the door. Waaa ~ really got smoke at the other end of the corridor, shock man =O

I quickly called the receptionist to find out what's happening. He told me that their maintenance team already looked into the problem and advised me to stay in the room. If anything happened, he will call to our room again.

After put down the phone, I went out to check the condition again. This time the smoke got thicker and I can even smell the kerosine. Without a second thought, I quickly went back to my room and packed all my essential belongings. Well, in case anything happen I'm ready to chiong maa ~ (kia si maa ~)

At that very moment, I was wondering if I should walk down the staircase. Come on, I'm staying at floor 11th laa, grrr.... As I still quite worry about the situation, I called the receptionist again. Still he advised me to stay inside the room. =\ After a while, the smoke was gone and the alarm also stopped ringing. I assumed everything was fine.

This morning I checked with the receptionist again, the reason given was they were doing fogging last night (doing fogging at floor 11th, so desu ~) and forgot to turn off the fire alarm =___= ewww ~

Please Make The Statement Clear A Bit Lah

When I purchased my air ticket, I noticed that MAS also has web check-in service like Air Asia. They allow passenger to check-in 24 hours to 90 minutes prior to the departure time. I thought that's a very great effort of them to provide such service.

As I'm travelling to Sibu tomorrow morning =( I decided to use their web check-in so that I don't have to go to airport so early. I followed the guided instrustions to perform my check-in, but I can only select Kuala Lumpur from the Origin drop-down list instead of Kuching.

Then, I called MAS hotline to double check the problem with them. After ding dong here and there, the reason I got from them is, the web check-in service only available for Silver Enrich member and advised me to use normal check-in =S

I thought my eyes hit bird, I then refered back to their website and I found out it wasn't stated so! It's stated as,

"Who are eligible to use Web Check-in?
Passenger travelling alone or in a party of nine (9) excluding infant, holding an eTicket with a confirmed booking"

Lucky I try to check-in tonight, imagine I check-in just 90 minutes before the departure time, really will long piak! >..<'


Not only they didn't state clearly in their website, the operator addressed me as 'Encik' few times! =___= My voice sounds like Encik mer, grrrrr!!!!!!

So So Pathetic!

Next time if you see promotion flyers that sticked on walls or windows, think twice and ask in details before you order. Last Sunday, I had my lunch at a restaurant near BDC area. The waiter asked if I would like to try their promotional item, ie. stew beef served with rice, only RM3.

Ok lor, I tried lor, it's RM3 only waa. However, when the food sampai, my jaw dropped and my eye balls popped out! Want to know why? Scroll down to see ...

There're only 4 pieces of thin think beef (not more than 0.5 cm, rough estimation with my eyeball), grrrrrrr! Like that also called promotion mer?! Sampling guah! I wonder what is the original price for this item! WTH!!!

Male Or Female?

I'm not a coffee drinker (maybe due to the caffeine content, I feel very uncomfortable after drinking coffee), so I don't really know much about coffee. However, I was made known to something very interesting about coffee bean in Bali. They're indeed categorised into male (公豆) and female (母豆). So, which gender of coffee do you drink?

According to the sales person, the male coffee bean (RM50 for 250g) is more expensive than the female one (RM20 for 250g) and they're differentiated by their shape. If it is a male coffee bean, it will be a whole biji one; if it is a female coffee bean, it'll be half biji only. So desu nei ~

Get Out Of My Way!!!!

Do you ever experienced when you are walking around in a shop and there is a salesgirl escorting you? When you move one step, she also move one step; when you turn left, she also turn left; when you stop, she also stop; just like your shadow!

I won't really have the mood to shop if someone is escorting me like this, I would rather walk out from the shop. All the while, in my mind, I always thought that is very annoying not until I visited Bali!!!

I've had a bad experience when I was strolling around the souvenirs stalls near Tampaksiring. Suddenly, a lady grab my hand and asking me to buy something from her. I was shocked and I quickly pulled back my hand, say "NO!NO!NO!". However, she was so deaf until didn't want to let go my hand! =..= What the!!?! My hand was painful laa, I felt like tampar her already!! .\/.

Afterthat, I quickly walked to our travel van which was awaiting us at the front. I thought it'll be safer to stay inside the van, but .... you see, apparently NOT!!!

Not only these, we're also being bugged by the locals selling souvenir near Batur Volcanic Basin. We're trying to shot some nice photos as the scenery is so beautiful, but they're just spoilling the mood as they kept offered the souvenir to you. They're so annoying, some even pat on your shoulder if you ignore them, errrgghhh!!!

I just wished I'm streetfighter at that moment, so that I can 'aa-du-get' them all and continued to take my photos peacefully =..=

Where Do People Wash Their Clothes?

Whisper: see more Bali photos here

---

In ancient time, there isn't any water supply connected to people house like what we have now. So, they have to carry their clothes to riverbank and wash their clothes near the rivers.

Later, when there's water supply connected to their house, they washed their clothes at home.

During my recent trip to Bali, I just realized there are people like to wash their clothes at wash-basin at Pizza Hut O.O' so desu nei ~~

Spot this at a Pizza Hut Restaurant near Kuta

Twenty The Third . 23

Whisper: I feel sick jor, sympton after CNY? =(

---

Yesterday was a bright sunny Saturday and it was the 23rd of the month. So, can guess what I suppose to do. I HAVE TO GO KCPS TO QUEUE UP TO PURCHASE SEASONAL PARKING COUPON FOR MY VEHICLE AGAIN!!! Not only this is extra burden for us as a worker, this is really cho boh eng!!!

The crowd outside KCPS

I was shocked when I reached there, I didn't know that place can be so crowded and long queue. However, after a deep thought, it's not surprise to see so many people queued up at KCPS. Why? This is because they only sell 30% quota of every identified parking bay for seasonal parking, it's very limited! Besides, over my conversation with others who have purchased the coupon, they complained the workers who process the purchase are very slow in job!

In their previous press statement, it was said that this regulation is to ensure 'a fair chance for the public to use limited spaces available'. I don't know whether this regulation is workable or not, I only know if you failed to get the seasonal parking, you have to survive parking illegally throughout the month, what the heck!

Maybe this is good for public who just dropped by to pay bill, you can easily get a parking space now. However, for us who work there, die lor ~ Unless you can hang your car on the tree or keep your car inside your pocket ;)

Ang Pao Collections 2008

While everyone is busy preparing for Chinese New Year, a few of us are busy here and there to collect and exchange ang pao long (red packet). Personally, I feel that the ang pao long nowadays has been commercialised. A lot of shops will only give away the red packets if your purchase has reached their pre-requisite amount.

Besides, I feel some banks (or their staff? I don't know) also very reluctant to distribute red packets. Anyway, followings are my collections up to date. ^____^
