GPS

Recalculate,recalculate…. Turn right at 100m.OMG, I had made the wrong turning by not taking Jln Duta. With the wow factor in this device , my panic faded away with just a breeze .

Till now you will know what I am talking about , it is the amazing GPS navigation device . I was totally caught the attention of GPS navigation device. It utilizes the on-time tracking system to navigate you around to reach your preset destination. With the revolutionary invention which existed few years ago in other countries, Malaysian just started to pick up the gadget . Plus, the gadget can let you set for the preference such as shortest distance, fastest time of arrival, toll avoidance, U-turn avoidance….

I tried this gadget for the first time when I was in my friend’s car to Wangsa Maju for supper . But ,the gadget managed to get us there by guiding us through some turnings and traffic lights. Pretty accurate.

After that , I went home but I missed the turning .I considered myself as stupid because I still can’t follow the GPS even though it is much more easier than the conventional look and drive style on my map manual. But then , the GPS really will alert us about any road blocks and incidents happened in front of the road traveled. The accuracy of the estimated arrival time which is a plus point for the system. The whole journey which I took from Duta bus station to Kelana Jaya was 25 km (0.5 hr) .

Technology really brings convenient for us as a driver to navigate around the cities with the vehicles traveling at 80 -100 km/h . As always , if you miss a turning , you will need to pay for the consequences like paying toll , taking big U-turn, detouring . It really eats up our patience .

Swatch Watch Staff Sales 2008

I have to say that this is the worst warehouse sale but not quite actually the case except for the bad attitude of staffs who treated the buyers. They were extremely rude.

I wanted to have a look at the coloured catalogue but I was told I was not allowed to do so. While i was picking my watch from the “black, white and blurry” catalogue, a lady staff just told me rudely those in the catalogue are not for us (customers) to take but just for reference.Luckily , I spotted one of the watches inside the box behind the counter .Then ,I asked an employee to let me have a look on that .He gave me and i wrote down the code and price .Thanks ,pss.. the watch which i bought was not in the catalogue . I was lucky to do that.

While I was waiting for my order, there was this bunch of girls next to me. They were looking through the stuffs they ordered. In the end they only wanted one. The swatch lady scolded them saying that if they didn't want all the watches they shouldn't have written them down in the order form .Besides she mentioned that it was very tough for them to look for the watches and packed them. So, being disorganised is the customers fault? So swatch pays them to just sit around???? What do they expect?? they are paid to be there to do so!!! This is ridiculous!!!! Also, you cannot expect people to be buying the watches without looking at them first. I mean, what do you expect when your catalogue is black, white and blurry!!!!!!

After packing the customers orders, the swatch employees just threw the bags on the floor. Yeah, the watches are cheaper than usual but I am sure it wouldn’t last that long.After all , we just buying those outdated stocks which they wanted to clear off once and for all.

Anyway, I was quite satisfied with my buy but not to mention the rudeness of the employees is a big discount on their image .I hope that in future they will improve for what we as a customer aspects .

Balik Pulau

Not long ago in my memory , no no not not long ago . It should be 1 year ago ,i went to Balik Pulau for the free trial bus service provided by Rapid Penang . I still remember i took the bus from my house to Balik Pulau ,it took more than an hour with all the dropping and taking passengers.

Speaking about Balik Pulau , the place offers the best selection of durian and also not to mention the famous Assam Laksa which located at the old market . Surprisingly I heard my friend told me that the Assam Laksa stall which is besides the market voted for the best Laksa on of the chinese daily. I tried both long time ago and i concluded that the old market Laksa is the best .

This trip to Balik Pulau is a most memorable one in my entire life .With all the laughter and craziness we communicated with each other, made the atmosphere merry .

The first stop , we went to my friend village which is located at Kampung Sungai Pinang. One thing which captured my attention before reaching her house is a half round bridge which connects the two separated ground . When you are nearly at the top of the bridge ,you will never see what is on the opposite side . I have never seen this before.

After reaching her house , the warm welcome and great hospitality really touched me. They are indeed very friendly and nice to talk to. Not only that, they welcomed me like i am their family members. I was treated with a big ,sumptuous 'Bak Chang' made by her mother. Maybe i was hungry at that time, I felt that that 'Bak Chang''s taste made me ask for more. But as a guest , i remained silent because this is part o f our manners .

Then came one of her cousin sister with a nice small brownish dog . I felt like to cuddle the dog but i am allergy with animal fur.That's why i didn't cuddle it. One of my friends , put some ointment on her legs and the dog was not realized until it licked the ointment . Then , the dog expression was very funny ,it kept licking its legs . That's enough to make us laugh .

Soon after that, we were on our journey to hunt down the RM 1 assam laksa ,but before that I requested to buy the famous Balik Pulau 'pau' .Last time , the man used to sell the 'pau' using a tricycle but now due to modernization his obsolete vehicle replaced by a mini van .Luckily at the bend of a junction, the van is just at the opposite of the road .In a split second , we acted swiftly and rushed there as if we were on a quest to hunt down the best 'pau' in town. We, these crazy fellows ran to the van and ordered for the famous vegetable 'pau' . Few minutes later ,many passerby came to the crowd.As i was told by my friend , the 'pau' will be finished by the time the van ended its journey at Balik Pulau from Gertak Sanggul. The Wow factor made me amazed by the power of 'pau'.

Here comes the RM 1 assam laksa, i forgot the location of the stall but it was at a junction in the kampong area. The funny part of the D.I.Y assam laksa was ,the stall owner didn't provide us the chopper board to have our cucumber and onion cut. Thats not all i never seen before the way of cutting the cucumber , cut it vertically first when you hold the cucumber vertically then cut it horizontally but the position of the cucumber remains the same. The more bowl of assam laksa i ate ,the more i felt the tastiness of the soup. I have never eaten D.I.Y assam laksa before,not including those at the buffet.

The great hospitality and serenity of the surrounding made me wanted to have more of the place . It is a place where you cannot get in a hustle and bustle surrounding like Kuala Lumpur. Thanks to you know who you are by providing me a great experience in Balik Pulau. Next time , i wanted to try your orchard's durian ,please reserve some for me! HaHa .....

Cooking Journal

These photos are my collection of cooking in the past few months. I like to cook especially when you have found out a way to cook it which you are unexpected of finding one.
From rice to pasta and some of my experimental cooking turned out to be a surprised!
For example : I have tried to cook prawns before but i am so bored about the way it is cooked ,therefore I used 2 piece of dark chocolate into my cooking . I tried to eat it with rice but it doesn't fit .Ultimately,I tried using it as a desert . It turned out to be a masterpiece. The bitter of chocolate and sweetness of the prawns made the perfect combination. With the melted chocolate eaten with the prawns , the taste is like you are eating chocolate fondue .

Here are some discoveries which I wanted to share : I found it to be quite troublesome for me to cook the fish block with a pot . But after I used the aluminum foil to grill the fish , it got easier and more convenient for me .Plus, there will be an effect of burned on the surface of the block . When you use the pot to grill the fish ,sometimes it will stick to it when it turns brownish.

Another discovery is I used the cooking wine in all dishes at first but the taste on vegetable makes me sick.Later ,I found out that using cooking wine in chicken ,pork and even eggs will bring out the tastiness of the food. At first it sounds funny that , eggs will taste better on cooking wine . Later ,I assumed that maybe everything with protein will make a perfect match with it.

Runway pushing cart

Yesterday was a memorable day for me as I have never 'play' on the runway before in my whole.Actually the whole picture is not about playing but i imagined it as playing.

The day started with a bit glommy for me as i was very exhasted from the friday's workout session.We started our work around 9 am , we were informed to moved the 'exhibits' on the display shelfs to the composite workshop which is at the back of the building.

With the help of the movable wheeled platform with a vertical stand to hold the engine , we placed all the exhibits on the platform . And some of them and I stepped on the platform to be pushed by others to the composite workshop to store the exhibits. We used the runway as our journey to the destination.The fun of riding the platform was very exhilarating.

After reaching the entrance of workshop ,we encountered one problem . The vertical stand was way to high to enter the place . Therefore, the instructer removed the wheels to enable it to enter.
This let me think of the Brands advertistment on 8tv.

Finally , i spotted one of the Transmile aircraft on the runway . And took the first picture with it.

So fast....but not so furious

It has been a long time since i left my university life , when i looked back everything moved very fast . Not only that many incidents has happened , but also the people around us also moved on.

It don't mean that those person don't recognise you , but what they do you hardly know. Double life in my opinion is not going to work , you can only picked up those memories but you can't experience your first life like before. Speech is one of the means of catching up with friends but the experience is not real .Imagination maybe make the information from speech to become reality . Tired of imagine anymore , don't want to be a 'imaginator' but the best you can live your first life is to imagine .

Things will not easily mistaken ,
People come and go will not easily forgotten,
Repeated beacons from far warm our hearts,
But, it makes you can't forget other's card.

Happiness seems incomplete without 'ness',
Bird seems incomplete without its 'nest',
Warmth replace by cold when it's silent,
Fills the sahara when there is water of a zillion gallon.

Enemies are equal to rival,
Donkey are not equal to camel,
A king is still a king,
A suitable partner is wed during a wedding.

.....Still

L'Oreal Great Deals 26 April 08

Recently , there are lots of warehouse sales going on. Name a few ,such as Fila warehouse sales , LOreal warehouse sales ,metrojaya warehouse sales and many more small sales which didn't catch my attention.One thing all of such warehouse sales has is the crowded environment . You can imagine what will happen when the place is crowded.

Lets talk about yesterday's event, I went to Parkroyal Hotel from the L'oreal Warehouse sales at around 9.20 a.m(Operating hours is from 10 am to 8.30 p.m.). To my surprise , I saw a lot of ladies there but there were some mens . I don't mind queing up with all the ladies because we all were also buying the products to pamper ourselves which we deserve,there is nothing wrong with that.I still remember when i was at the same location where the ballroom had its GAP and Esprit warehouse sales. I nearly stand till the end of the entrance but after 5 minutes the lines were more terrible .Luckily , I was early but i regret not to come earlier. But never mind , I was not bad in this position of the lines.

Suddenly , the security guard shouted us to stand at the left hand side of the lines where the centre lines were the initial .Everybody was jottling to get to the lines faster . I was among the few first to get there because i ran. Until the clock strock 9.45 am , the guards called the crowd to form another few lines on the right hand side of the centre lines . The crowd which was on the left hand side moved swiftly to the right ,pushed the people on the centre lines to the right . After the announcement made by the guards ,some of them were not satisfied because they knew that the right lanes will be going in later after the centre lines first . The ladies and aunties were shouted here and there and the nice show just begin..
'Those who jump the queue know who they are , you should be embarrased about your attitude '
' We have been here for the past 1 hour and there guys were trying to .....'
' I thought this place is for well-mannered people but still those people who are uneducated also here ...'
Bla Bla Bla

Beautiful chicks were around the crowd, most of them were scantily dressed ,Oh come on girls, leave those outfits at home . We were here to grab things not fashion show. After around 10.10 a.m. I was into the ballroom , the room was smaller than the GAP sales . I grabed some perfumes for my aunties ,R.Lauren Ralph Rocks gift set and Miracle So magic.For me , I bought Biotherm Homme range products. Some Lancome makeup items for my sister and others .

The Shu Uemura counter was crowded until the person-in-charge shouted to them to stop pushing the tables. Few times they stopped selling the products because of the mess.
In the perfume and cologne sections , most of the famous brands such as Armani Code had finished .

I went to pay my items then 'chao' .
As i went out of the crowd,leaving crazy aunties and ladies behind ,the lines were more organised and they put the crowds into sections by sections. But everyone was looking at me and some people who had just came out. You won't believe it. The lines were up until Lot 10 from the parkroyal hotel.The people were crazy including me la. HaHa.

All in all quite a rewarding experience .
