Bluetooth!

The new family with Bluetooth as last name (OMIZ Bluetooth headset, SE K850i, SE Z750i, DELL Studio 1535)

Can't deny, this marvellous wave that carries signal only as low as FM radio wave can really keep me going. Paring all the four gadgets allows:

• OMIZ as wireless headphone. Pairing the bluetooth headset to my laptop allows me to listen to songs, watch movies and basically listen to all the sounds that my laptop would produce normally via its speaker through my OMIZ Bluetooth Headset. This means an end to the conventional wired ear phone or headphone. Also, this allows me to control my music selection with the Play, stop, foward, rewind, vol+, vol- clicks on my headset. Forget about clicking your mouse or the panels on laptop. I can do it from the comfort of my arm chair.
  
• OMIZ as wireless headset. Pairing the headset with my laptop also allows the headset to be used during skype calling, msn or yahoo messenger video call. Just when you need some privacy talking to anyone, this again replaces the conventional headphones or mic. p/s: the headset comes with a mic as well.
  
• OMIZ as wireless headset + headphone (II). Paring the headset to both my cellphones allows me to make calls and listen to music from my phone in just a fraction of time. Just turn on the bluetooth device on both side, and off you go (it's pretty simple as I have set to turn them on in just a click on my phone). The buttons available on the headset allows me to call, redial, end call, increase/decrease my volume as well as the music functions stated earlier.
• Sending files wirelessly between cellphones and laptop. Yes, whether it's laptop to phone or vice-versa, files can be sent without hassles of wire and it's fast (thanx to the Bluetooth v2.0 that I have on all my devices). For instance, you're heading somewhere and you wanna listen to a song from your laptop (which you would not want to bring your laptop all around), just a few clicks will do the trick, have it on your mobile, and you're on the go! Almost any files can be transferred. This includes synchronizing contacts and calendar wirelessly between device (if you get what I mean, through the PC suite available).
• Connecting my cellphones. Yes, similarly to the connection between laptop and cellphone, I can synchronize contacts between my phones, share pictures, musics and even videos. Sadly, the calendar events is not possible yet (but you can do a slightly little longer way-synch with laptop then cellphone). And it's pretty useful, because you won't wanna retype each of your contacts every time you add them on both phones.
• Cellphones as HID mouse, presenter, music control. I'm not quite sure about other brands, but as of now, most SE phones comes with the "remote control" function available on the "entertainment" tab. This allows me to control my music (volumes, tracks and even fast forward or rewind) across rooms. Yes, as long as the connection is established, you can switch tracks or tune down your volume. Not forgetting its function as a mouse, a wireless one. Although it may not be possible to slide your mouse for control just like a real one does, the 5 way key arrows somehow allows you to do some basic changes on the screen from far (it comes with a right click and switch windows button too!) Just imagine you don't actually need to walk all the way just to click once on the screen. This of course means, during presentations, you can have the phone as remote control and advances the slides wirelessly instead of going two and flo to your laptop. Too bad, the phone doesn't come with a laser pointer.
• Cellphone controlling a presenter or projector. Say if your projector is bluetooth enabled, you can actually benefit from the presenter remote feature available on both the SE phones I have. Good one you have there as you won't wanna walk all the way from back of the lecture hall to front just to blind the screen for a moment (the question is what on earth are you doing behind the lecture hall when you should be presenting)

Well, generally, these are the features that I benefit from Bluetooth on my devices as of now. It really made my life easier a lot. I have looked a bit through the side effects of bluetooth, but as of now, there's still hardly a direct link between bluetooth waves with cancer or something. It's mere radio wave as claimed (although claimed to be radio wave, you still need a wired handsfree to keep your radio going in SE handsets). In a way, I just think it benefits lazy people like me...haha

It's a piece of sharing!

I envy...

I envy

1. People going back during winter (including those who caught the timely offers by AA)
   
2. Friends over other places who get to dissects
   
3. The people who completed their biochem essay and Glucose test lab report
4. HP mini owners
   
5. Xperia owners
6. Storm owners
7. MBW-100 owners
8. People who have anatomy in their fingertips
9. The smarties who can make out what element 3 and 4 is all about
10. People attending Christmas Balls

Envy is mere "dis-phemisms". I have stated 10 wants that crossed my minds at this moment. All materialistic, the achievements of life among humans, but why had I not envy those who can glorify His name at all times?

The Haloween night

It's the Haloween night. Thinking to have a good meal after the harsh week, I walk into one of the reasonable restaurants. there were so many empty seats, but the waiter's response was rather disappointing. The tables are all reserved. One after another, I popped into quite a few preferable restaurants. They were all the finest, I have the dough to commit into this kinda cuisine, but there no availability. What a day, again!

Finally, I popped into one of the restaurants where I observed two individuals from my home country. They were kind enough to offer me a seat and a meal for the night, despite I wasn't in a proper attire. While leaving, I discovered one of them is not feeling well. I tried to offer the possible care as a friend. One of them finally asked me, "how sure are you the friendship that you've just developed for two hours worth for you to care for the rest of your life?" I was startled for a second. Never in my life had I thought about this question. Yes, I'm not an angel, neither do I always stops whenever someone need my help. And just then, I remember something from one of my buddies. Why give? Because God has given us. Offering care doesn't necessary requires reasons even for a chap which you've just met for a second because God offered us unconditional love and care, and I believe that. It doesn't need to mean anything!

To fill up the rest of the night, I ended up with Vodka in one of the local clubs. It did not raise my blood flow into my face like what it has done to the few chaps behind me. That justifies a known fact, everyone is different! We're here for different reasons, and we have our unique biological properties to cope with that. Alcohol not necessary sent drinkers blushing, and so goes when you blush in front of an opposite sex that you're close to. It maybe sickness, chance, but it's not a definite answer to crush.

HUMMER!

Reasons to have reservations for Friday (for the next 25 weeks)

10am-11am: Physio Lecture
11am-12pm: MCBoM Lecture
12pm-1pm: Bio-Chem Lecture
2pm-5pm: Anat

What a day! While hearing my friends drop their bags and head of to somewhere outskirts, I'm chilling out in DR making friends with the non-entities(considered by some). Physio was still a bit of revision mood, MCBoM fed me with the terms which are not so easy to get familiar with (Thank God!). Bio-Chem almost stabbed me with the buffer and pH topic which I struggled back in IB. yeah, Bio-Chem!!!

Had dinner with a bunch of HK friends. Friendly peeps... Oh, thanks to them (genuinely), I can have Chinese food almost every other night, leaving me missing only char kuey tiaw and its kind. Well, why not, manade char kuey tiaw kat HK? One fine day, I'll cook like them. ONE FINE DAY! And DON'T ASK ME WHEN!

Cathedral Church of St. Peter and Paul

A stone throw from WC. Mass times at 9.30 and 11am. The classical architecture simply amazes me. The service differs a little from the ones I've attended back home but it's not hard at all to keep up. One of the significant ones would be the absence of I confess... Instead a prayer was said by the priest. Hopefully, I'll be on track throughout this 4th terminal of life.

Meanwhile, this is the card that gives benefits:

~it's something like bonuslink, collecting points~

Thank you Sainsbury!!!

Good Deal

17 pcs set container. Got this for GBP2.99 @ IKEA. It's air-tight for the time being. Serve just fine as fridge companions.

Cards

The 1st one took me GBP3, the 2nd one is taking GBP400 from me monthly. They give lotsa card, but collect lots of money... declaring bankruptcy soon enough... sigh..

Speed always wins

Something Streamyx should pick up...

On the other hand, this took me GBP60 for the next three seasons.
A weekly-limit is imposed: 30G (Midnight - 6pm and 5G 6pm to Midnight). No accumulations. The only options I have was take it or leave it, what else can I say? Anyhow, I'm generally satisfied.

I'm feeling guilty

It's right in front of my gate. I know, I had not been visiting its kind for quite some time. Every time I walk out of the gate, I just feel uneasy...

Terminal 4

Leaving On A Jet Plane
by John Denver

All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standin here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin
Its early morn
The taxis waitin
He's blowin his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
cause I'm leavin on a jet plane
Don't know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
E'vry place I go, I'll think of you
E'vry song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
cause I'm leavin on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
Ill be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
cause I'm leavin on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

But, I'm leavin on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

...

p/s: Thanx to another phone call back to WC (not water closet), I no longer need to bunk the night. WC allows me to check in on 28th itself. Relief... Now, FLY FLY FLY!!! I'm leaving on a jetplane...

MARK the 27! (IV)

Three unfavourable solutions (not sure I would call them such or not). The next day, #4 came along:

I called up WC again (hoping that a different officer answer my call). This time, a woman's voice gave me a sign of relief. Knowing it's definately a different officer, I relate to her my problem again and expressed her that I really hope to move in on the day I arrive. Thankfully, this was her reply:

"It's ok. You just ring up the warden on duty when you arrive at the gate. Although we don't prefer late arrival, but evening at such time should be fine with us. Meanwhile, I will inform the warden on duty so that he or she can expect your arrival."

With that, the "no" was made "yes" again. Although things have been kinda fine at this point, I gave no chance to risk by ringing up a number of seniors and my housemate to inform the warden in charge.

MARK the 27! (III)

"Unfortunately you will not be able to check in .... as you are arriving outside of our opening times. Enclosed is a link to alternative accommodation providers for the night. You have been booked an arrival slot of ...."

Those words dropped like a thousand tonnes of bomb in my Inbox as soon as I was out of bed this morning. The first thing that crossed my mind, DEEP SHIT! WHERE AM I GONNA BUNK? THE FOLLOWING DAY IS THE OFFICIAL REGISTRATION DAY!

Dropped outa bed and immediately, I did a few things:

#1: Called up Nepline Travel and attempting to change my Amsterdam-Bristol flight. They informed me it's impossible cuz my transit period will be too short if I changed to an earlier flight. A minimum of 3 hours is needed? And I was like asking myself, which idiot created this rule? Then the other half in me slap me in return: Which idiot would ask this kinda question? How if your flight delay? Oh ok... Yeah. I had been an idiot for some time. Then I checked KLM website. There's a flight at 12.30pm and there's still abundant seats. Screw that fella! Not intending to call back cuz I doubt it can change the situation=leave it to last resort!

I popped a second question asking the check in bag allowance can be extended to 30kgs since KLM allows 30kgs. That guy promise to call me up in 30 minutes time, and I have been waiting for the past 2 hours. No intention to call back ~waste money. Gambling with the extra 10kgs!

#2: Tried calling the other 3 girls who will be flying with me. Negative response. Neither of them picked up nor return call.

#3: Send a few messages to the seniors there. They gave me promising response. *relief* A second thought crossed my mind. It's way of a hassles to bunk in their place. P suggested that I call up WC instead of the Dominion Group (which handles the accomodation of WC)

Right, I will call them up and see what awaits me this afternoon...

FURTHER Suggestions?

MARK the 27! (II)

"A good long hours from KLIA to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. 10 hours of transit in Amsterdam before another 85 minutes flight journey to Bristol International Airport."

A few questions to ponder:
1. Must I stay in the airport throughout the transit? It's 10 hours!!! 10!!!!

Well, thinking on the good side, AAS is one of the best airport in the world

2. If yes, what am I likely to do in Amsterdam? Man!!! It's Amsterdam!!!

Reminds me of Eurotrip

3. What currency to be used in Amsterdam? Is GBP fine aside from EURO?

Since I do not have any and not planning to exchange any~minimizing the exchange rate cost

4. Will I be able to move in on the same day considering my late arrival?

I emailed the student hall, and they take at least 3 working days to respond, AT LEAST!

5. Will I be able to purchase some of the necessities considering my late arrival?

Char, might need your help on this

What I can do now? I have changed what I can changed. I "pioneered" the new journey for Bristol-bound students (they used to land in Heathrow to taste the coach or train ride... Good long 2-3 hours)

I'm left with waiting... PATIENCE

Revamped(-ing)!

Over-friendliness vs Bitch

-You greeted me with "nice to meet you"
-You spoke of WTF for at least 4 times (though nothing to do with me) right in front of me
-You pointed out middle finger in front of me (though not to me)
-You smoke like nobody's business
-You turned me off in your well rehearsed euphemism

Is this over-friendliness or being a bitch?

What The Fuck could be a norm among the teenagers' talk. But you don't quote it to the person you've just met although you're not speaking of him or her. And the middle finger thing. While you consider that cool, you make people wonder of your home upbringing. Forget about your efforts to mimic the states and Brits, but try reward yourself a bit of respect. Being a university student doesn't grant you the ultimate pass to generously spit these kinda phrases. The last thing you would ever consider for getting on people's nerves is a slap in the public! While you equate being mean to friendliness, I bet people would be more than happy to label you a bitch. So don't!

Smoking is cool? Reconsider that because you're talking to a med student. We know the cons more than you know the various alternatives to blow your smoke!

English is your cup of tea? Supposed if that's so, do consider you're chronologically younger and thus show some respect! both to yourself and us.

I tried my best to define you in an optimistic way but I could only revolve around "bitch" and "slut". And I appreciate your over-friendliness (if you would prefer me to define that way).

MARK the 27!

Take that down. It's an important number!

1. The day I'll be travelling across time zones.
2. The day I'll be released from being grounded in the country.
3. The day everyone would say Thank God, he's gone for good.

The OLD RM1 coin

Think you have seen it all? Think you are born early enough to tell your next generation that you saw or held the phased out Gold RM1 coin? Now take this!

It's the size of our current 50 cent (approx) and of course it's silver

OH MY GOD!

1st OMG:

-Nathan Road-

I bet that guy must have pay a fortune for this plate. My first words were, "OH MY GOD!" And that's what it reads, totally tally with the words anyone would utter out upon encountering such case. I'd love to have such plate in the future =D

2nd OMG:

-Sterilized every 2 hours-

This is mere at one of the shopping centers in HK. I doubt our hospitals (regardless ownership) have done anything near that. The buttons have no less human contacts than money, which makes it an ideal breeding habitat for germs and microbs. The first questions that anyone would ask, who would fork out the cost? Well, if you spend less on the unneccesaries (which everyone of us would know), you would have probably cover up the cost for the next decade, not a lot just extra income from one of the personnels.

Here in Malaysia, there were significant history evidences to show that Malaysians wear masks when they go out.
1. The Jerebu era
2. When we were visited by SARS pandemic

But if you happen to see people in HK wearing masks, it is not about pollution. It's about responsibility and self-consience. They wear mask because they are sick (flu etc...), they think for others by preventing the airbone sickness from infecting the rest of the community. How many of us Malaysians are willing to do so? Fork out extra money to purchase the mask and take extra effort to wear it despite all the hassels?

Should we look into health quality of Malaysians more seriously these days (whilst media put us in the idea that our living qualities at above decent level)?

I KILLED THE MONSTER!!!

Yeah!!! I brought the scrambled 4 x 4 x 4 devil into its original tame characteristics. Awesome!!!

...and as usual with the 3 x 3 x 3 trick, you have this.

p/s: who wants to take tuition?! :P

Loosing mother tongue?

"那个方法比较 efficient"
when I should have said 那个方法比较有效率

I would have spit that out easily in my daily life. While Malaysians would considered that a norm, I find that such occasions are threatening my Chinese. I'm sure it won't go to the extent that I can't read or write Chinese but these days, I can hardly sentence my thoughts 100% in Chinese. It has to be topped with English or at times Malay. My TOK knowledge would have tell me that at times, this is what you call the lost of words or meanings during the translation of language. But as I come to realise that I experience none of such case with English, I can only jump to one conclusion, my mother tongue is slowly be replaced with English. On one side, it's better to converse more in English these days but loosing my mother tongue? And I'm heading UK soon. Should I start taking up mandarin classes?

Rubix 4 x 4

Attempting this over the successs of 3 x3 but it certainly was harder than I thought. Managed first layer in a fraction of time but no idea to proceed. Any tips?

Introducing KOTA KINABALU

KOTA KINABALU, an upcoming shopping heaven? Yea! for those of you who have been to Kota Kinabalu recently, you would probably have heard of the new 1 Borneo Hypermall or Warisan Square that could possibly fullfill your needs in retail therapy. Here, I'll briefly bring you a virtual tour of how is it gonna be like to shop in KK.

Foremost, it would be CENTER POINT, one of the oldest and yet favourite shopping malls in KK. Here, aside from the normal therapy treat you will also find other entertainment like bowling alley and cinema. The newly renovated Growball recreation center accomodates an 8 hall seating cinema, an alternative movie buzz aside from GSC and Cathay Cinema. Trust me, tickets here in KK is way cheaper compared to anywhere else in Malaysia. And about the Growball, it's located on 5th floor, just above Palm Square, offering gaming arcade and pool tables. Also, you will find Fun Square, another recreational center in Center Point itself. Occasionally, if you walk along the shoplots below Palm Square you will chance upon some cyber cafes too. The top floor of center Point (below Palm Square) generally house the IT shops selling computers and Eaton's Bookstore aside from other common stores. Just a bit of add on, the Eaton's was one of the most visited bookstore before Popular on Palm Square and Times Bookstore in Warisan came along. Yes, till the date of this post, you will not find MPH anywhere in Sabah yet.

img: Growball Cinemax @ Warisan Square, available from http://sabahbah.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/080324-004.jpg

A little bit about Center Point, it actually consists of three main shopping area, the Center Point itself (covering ground floor tilll 4th floor), Palm Square (4th floor) and City Parade (basement). the reason why there's such division is because Center Point was said to be built as a Hotel and Shopping mall together. The economy crisis years ago shatter down the hopes of Sabah development as the 4th floor onwards, initially thought to be build as hotel are forced to turned into office lots with the planned reception area transformed into a shopping area named as Palm Square. And as for the basement area, a planned kitchen and laundry area turned into City Parade, where you still can see the pipes adored the uncovered ceilings. You will find that Palm Square generally offers "more branded" goods compared to the rest of the shops in Center Point.

Warisan Square is located right in the middle of the city, across a street from Center Point. Here's a little bit of history that you wouldn't find in any of the tourism phamplet or flyers. This simple yet promising shopping arcade was build on a demolished bus stand that once been the center of all mini-buses travelling around Kota Kinabalu*. Within Warisan Square is where you find much of the branded goods and designer's labels. This includes PADINI, ESPRITS, ROXY & QUICKSILVER, etc. Famous cafes such as Starbucks and San Francisco can be found here. For those of you who prefer something more classical like roti kahwin, kopi O or telor rebus, you can pay a visit to Old Station coffee shop here (Yes, KK do have Old Town Kopitiam but it's not here). There's also Secret Recipe if you favor delicious cheese cakes. All in all, Warisan Square is capable of catering your retail needs just the way most shopping malls out of KK does.

Across the street, you will find the WATERFRONT. Yes, it sits right in front of the sea. You will find a few clubs and cafes here which can keep you awake till dawn hours perhaps. Quite a happening area at night. Something that strike my sight when I first saw the place was the Irish Shamrock Bar and I'm telling you, it really looks like one, except the local ascent in replace for the Irish slang. Also, you will find Port View Restaurant, a well known sea food restaurant which offers you mouth watery seafood and other Chinese delicacies. Tell me, how can you not enjoy seafood when you come to Sabah? Personally I do find the place a bit pricy but if you're keen to get a good seafood dinner in town, this is the place to be! Along the waterfront also sits The Borneo Trading Post which sells locally produced good, from souvenir to stationaries.

Walk a bit further and you will reach the FILIPINO MARKET. It's probably one of the favorite tourist area as you will find the a lot of handicrafts (not to mention, souvenirs) and a whole lot of local heritage here. All locally made and at affordable prices. Sompoton keychains, gelang tangan kerang (shells made bracelets) are favourites. but here's the catch, be extra alert as there might be pick-pockets around, and I did say MIGHT.

img: Customers bargaining at Filipino Market, available from http://travel.webshots.com

Further on the road lies the central market, a typical wet market that you can find anywhere else in Malaysia. But something that's interesting is we have the PASAR IKAN MASIN. Yes, a whole market area just selling salted fish. But seriously, being a local here, if you can get to Tawau, you probably can find better ones of these.

Opposite the Central Market is KK PLAZA, another shopping mall in KK. Not so much of the elite and exclusive brands but you probably be able to find it a good shopping area. Oh yea, you would probably be surprise to find the prices of handphones here cheaper compared to the rest of the city.

Right across the street from KK Plaza is the SINSURAN AREA, and old town before these shopping malls started mushrooming in KK. You will find a bridge connecting KK Plaza and the Sinsuran shoplots. What's interesting lies underneath the bridge. You will find very nice kap piang (it's Hakka slang. It's basically pancake with peanuts and corn inside, but I find those sold here are way nicer compared to the rest that I tried in other places), ham jim piang (something like the Cinnamon bread but not so much of the Cinnamon taste~just give it a try). At night, you will also find durian stalls and it's a norm for the locals to sit around these lorries to indulge themselves in the tasty king of fruits. Oh yea, in case you might want to take note, these stalls only open from 5pm onwards untill late night. And you will find the town's best dried meat aptly known as ba kua or rou gan. Suprisingly, some locals find them better than some of the lao zhao pai (old brands) such as wo lai ye.

If you're willing to walk further on, you might find yourself landing at WISMA MERDEKA (you might need to ask around for location this time), one of the all time favourite shopping malls in KK. It's an old shopping mall but still offers modern shopping atmosphere. If you're looking for apparels, step into Tong's Enterprise. They offer a wide selection at reasonable prices. And there's a food court inside so you pretty much can stop worrying about your stomach. In between Wisma Merdeka and the Sinsuran Shoplots mentioned earlier is the 5-star Hyaat Hotel. It's by the seaside too and it along this seaside that once the ferries travelling the nearby island such as Labuan and Gaya Island is located. Now, the jetty has been shifted further on to the JESSELTON POINT.

img: Jesselton Point snap shots

In fact, Jesselton Point itself is another tourist spot aside from its function as jetty to neighbouring island. Inside Jesselton point is where you find the railway track dated back the british era. It's no longer in use but you can see the track running along the whole area uptill the seaside, offering the vista of a neighbouring island. There's also an indoor footsal court here, one of the very few in the city. Also, you may also find those red telephone booths, just like the ones you find in London here.

A stone throw from Jesselton point lies the old sea port which have been moved to Pantai Dalit. There used to be cruise ships and ships selling duty free liquors as well as books docking here at times but I hardly seen any these days. As of now, you would probably see the remainings of the sea port (don't have an idea of it was destroyed or ruined). It's mere an empty land (where they used to store containers) and the seaport buildings there.

As a note, I might have used a lot of terms like a stone throw, walk futher a bit or opposite, if you're at the sea port at this point, you're at least 20 mins walking distance away from Warisan Square. And in fact, if you have a car, from the old sea port, you will be able to drive along the highway all the way till the new hypermall ~ 1 Borneo. And to be frank with you, it is possible to travel around KK, if you're willing to walk. However, by just walking you would probably only get to the places I have mentioned where most of them are mere shopping malls. If you yern for really nice food or more adventurous travelling experience such as a trip to Kinabalu Park, I suggest you better rent a car. Yes, public transport are available, but trust me, you can't expect a tourist-friendlier bus system than the ones in Banting.

To journey on to 1Borneo would take another long post because not just 1 Borneo, there are also other interesting building around it such as Tun Mustapha foundation building and Malaysia Sabah University (UMS). That's it for now peeps. Q&A?

*why didn't I opt to be a tour guide?* haha

*Now the new Kota Kinabalu Bus Station (as what they known it, but being a KK citizen who have paid visits to KL Sentral, pudu raya, or at the very least Pasar Seni Station, I assure you, there's a perfect reason of why I refuse to acknowledge it as station. Anyhow, the bus system is well organised and capable of dropping you almost anywhere in town, at times, at the driver's courtesy, you may even stop the bus at places without bus stop ~ something which I prefer over the rigid bus system in KL) is shifted to a piece of land adjacent to SEDCO building, just minutes walk away from the original location. Oh yea, if you're interested of heading places like Ranau (it's where the Kinabalu National Park sets), Sandakan or Tawau (seafood heaven ~cheap and fresh), you would have take busses either opposite Padang Merdeka or the Sounthern Bus Station *name unconfirmed*

Current Stage

FINALLY!

I am set to move on to the next terminal, my fourth and the tenth setting in my life. Weeks ago, I had the relief of finishing the exams and all. Yes, I left the college with hope for a fun and peaceful weeks ahead. Days ago, my heart was pounding beyond it's capacity (right, it's hyperbolic). Results! And sure enough, it pleased me, though I expected something more. What I initially presumed to be a time full of fun indeed disappoint me as I find the upcoming months nothing more than the mundane days I had. Yes, I'm feeling what my seniors felt.

BORED!

Baik jadi pengemis!

Saya sedang berjalan keluar daripada
kolej saya ketika saya melihat seorang
pengemis tua, dalam lingkungan umur 50-
an, sedang duduk meminta sedekah.
Selalunya, saya hanya memberi wang
kepada mereka dan terus berlalu. Entah
kenapa, mungkin mood saya tengah baik
dan saya pun tiada rushing nak ke mana-
mana. Saya lalu berbual2 dengan hamba
Allah tersebut.
Saya :Sudah lama mengemis, pakcik?
Pengemis :Ya...lebih kurang sudah 18
tahun , nak.
Saya :Wah, sudah lama juga ya
pakcik..sehari biasanya dapat berapa
pakcik?
Pengemis :Paling sedikit RM50.00 nak
Saya :Banyak juga ya pakcik??
Pengemis :Bolehlah nak, untuk
keluarga...
Saya :Ohhhh.....keluarga pakcik ada
di mana?
Pengemis :Isteri pakcik meninggal
ada 3 orang anak, tiga-tiga lelaki. Yang
pertama dekat di Universiti Putra Malaysia di Serdang
tu. Yang kedua dekat Universiti
Malaya , dan yang ketiga dekat
Universiti kebangsaan Malaysia di Bangi
nunn..
Saya :Wahh..hebat- hebat keluarga
pakcik ni...boleh tahan juga yerrr..
Pengemis :(Sambil tersenyum ;-)
Biasalah nak. Anak pun pandai apa,
sekolah kat sini?
Saya :(Membalas senyuman..^_ ^..)
Pakcik ni..So anak pakcik tu semuanya
masih kuliah?
Pengemis :Tak arrrrrr....semuanya
mengemis seperti pakcik....Diorang kata
duduk mengemis dekat universiti ni
banyak ckit incomnyer pasal budak2 U
nie pemurah! Lagi2 kalau dekat2 exam.
Setakat dua tiga ratus sehari tu biasalah!
Saya :Cisss..Hampehhhhhh. ......!!!!
Hehehehehe.. dah, pi sambung buat kerja
tu balik, kalau taknak menerima nasib
seperti pakcik.

一个不错的比例

别被'津贴论'骗去了
让我说个农场的故事，让你知道什么是国阵说的'津贴'。
在一个农场里，每天可以生产10粒苹果。农场里有5个工人和1个场主，总共6个人。他们每天一人吃一粒苹果，就足够维持农场里的运作，所以还有剩下4粒苹果。
场主把这4粒苹果卖了，一粒RM10，结果赚了RM40。场主把这RM40拿来提升农场里的所有设施、设备，但是一天最多也需要RM25罢了。多出的RM10就拿来发给5个工人，每人有RM2，剩下RM5拿来当作自己的盈利。
日子这样下去，这个农场就变得很先进，而且工人的住宿和环境都是一流的。5个工人也存了一笔钱。
但是不久这个好场主去世了，来了个新场主。新场主说：'我们要提升农场素质，要有一流的思维。现在你们吃的苹果，需要给RM1.00。但是你想想，这是很便宜的，你去外面买苹果一粒要RM10叻！'
工人没办法，就继续做工和每天给RM1.00来吃他们以前每天吃的免费苹果，结果他们现在每天只赚得RM1.00。
现在，新场主还是把多余的4粒苹果拿去卖，赚了RM40，还是像从前一样，RM25拿来提升设施，RM10就拿来发给5个工人，RM5拿来当作自己的盈利，再来，现在那5粒苹果他卖给工人，赚了RM5.00，现在他每天得RM10.00盈利。
不久，苹果售价突然大涨了一倍，外面售价RM20一粒。现在新场主还是把多余的4粒苹果拿去卖，大赚了RM80。
农场的设施提升工程现在换了是新场主的朋友承包。新场主的朋友说，苹果售价大涨，设施提升工程的费用也要涨价了，变成RM50。其实真正费用才RM30，新场主把多出来的RM20和他的朋友平分。
现在新场主有，
RM10（和他的朋友平分的提升工程费）加
RM20的盈利（RM80-RM50-RM10=RM20）再加
RM5的卖苹果给自己员工赚的钱。
总共是RM35.00。比起以前的RM10，新场主多赚了RM25.00！!
哇！！！暴利叻，苹果售价突然大涨，农场赚多了RM25.00。但是工人还是每天只赚取RM1.00。
但是，贪心的新场主却招来5位员工，对他们说，'你们看看，苹果现在的市场售价是RM20一粒，但是你们却用RM1.00来买一粒苹果，你看你们多幸运！我就辛苦了，我需要津贴你们每人RM19.00，总共RM95.00来给你们苹果吃啊，你看农场的津贴负担多么的重！'
'农场真的很辛苦了，再这样下去，农场会破产，倒闭。现在我卖你们每粒苹果RM1.50吧，我辛苦一点来津贴RM18.50。'
那么现在新场主的暴利又增加了，RM20＋RM10＋RM7.50＝RM37.50，又赚多了RM2.50。这RM2.50是从哪里赚来的？就是从自己工人的口袋赚来的。
现在我问你们，比起当苹果还没暴涨前和暴涨后，农场主变辛苦了还是变有钱了？之前，RM10.00；之后，RM37.50。这么简单，你不是看不明白吧？
场主说津贴很辛苦，有吗？他有从他自己口袋拿出那个他所谓的RM95的苹果津贴吗？农场有因为津贴而破产吗？他现在比起之前赚多了3.75倍！会破产吗？
那油涨价呢？
