Koh Chek loh! Cannot Play Play…

Friday, September 30th, 2005

Finally last mid-sem test today, but at some No-life timing: 1400-1600! Maybe the lecturers think we all no life like them and have no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Oh, oops! Just read in today’s papers that some JC students were meted with disciplinary action for criticising their teachers in their blogs. If the NUS people ever see this: Teacher, don’t punish me OK? I presume that teachers don’t bitch about their students as well, that’s why they have the right to punish students who bitch about them. Maybe everyone just concentrates on marking the numerous assignments handed up by students in the Teachers’ lounge and nobody complains about any class being "bad" or bitch about any students. Neither do the teachers who have blogs ever discuss anything negative about their students in them. Aren’t teachers such angels?

Anyway wanna thank the crazy gang again for those crazy pressies for my birthday. Love you all lots! I think we are all just one crazy bunch of people man! Haha that’s why we’re such good friends.

Oh by the way, commercial break! I have on hand a Brand new BRANDED (don’t you just love this word on the electronics stores’ advertisements?) stereo Radio Receiver with 128MB of memory space for MP3 songs. Never used before. Prices subject to customer attitude. Only 1 piece so interested parties must make your move quick k?

Oh yes, anyone else noticed that new feature on friendster now? It lists the people who have visited your profile in the past month… Took a look at it, and saw some good friends of mine who probably were looking at my blog. Also saw some unexpected entries- friends I thought I have lost touch with. Pleasant surprise! Then there were also several people I don’t know… Hehe to think I have got girls checking me out!   :p   Then, the surprise of surprises (or is it shock?) a certain ex-girlfriend of mine who has refused to acknowledge my presence or reply to my greetings when we do happen to meet, & whose mother of mothers forced my mum to take her "hooligan son" in hand and keep that troublemaker away from her precious, angelic, innocent daughter, was in the list of people who have been looking at my profile. And she’s not even in my friends list in the first place. Even worse, her boyfriend also showed up in that list! Wonder why… Insecurity? Planning saboh? Seeing if he has the chance to "reject goods"? Haha but too bad, goods sold, not to mention stolen, are not refundable and definitely not exchangeable! The other plausible explanation is that he was checking out the girls in my list. Maybe he has found out that I do have some pretty female friends and he was checking up your profiles… Whatever it is, who gives a damn? Let them see all they want. Nothing to hide when all I have here is a list of these wonderful friends that I have, & my precious lao po of course! Knowing them however, they will be turning on the other feature that comes with this latest addition: visiting profiles anonymously. But for me the things I do are open and aboveboard so I do not feel the need for any of such measures.

Oh ya anyone read the forum page of the TODAY newspapers, today? There was this fella who suggested that when we encounter selfish smokers who blow smoke at others, we should spray some water at them. Although he has articulated what I had always secretly been wanting to do, I think he doesn’t know what’s good for him. Fancy speaking up against a certain group in our population and advocating action by othes against a group! God bless him…

Aiyah back to study liao lah. Nowadays blog very sienz. So many things don’t dare to say, and so many people don’t dare to comment. Blurt something "wrong" and you will either get locked up or you will lose in a civil lawsuit and pay damages, just like the NKF case in which the people who originally accused the Durian guy were sued by him and had to pay compensation just because they could not afford an expensive lawyer. That was even when what they said were true and not baseless or slanderous. No motivation liao. Show some love, make some noise leh. Leave stupid, very tactful and politically correct comments also better than nothing mah. Hehe. OK lah, have a good weekend you all. Wish me good luck for my tests, and also my Euro and Ruppiah on which I’m losing money in Forex trading. Lucky my other investments still holding out… And thanks again to those who got me birthday presents k?

Most of you should have noticed the extra large font by now. This had been requested by one of my good friends Huili, who claims that she always has difficulty reading my blog due to the "small font". I want to tell her it’s because she’s blind, but also afraid of getting sued because her family could probably afford a more expensive lawyer than me. But I have a sneaking suspicion that this explains why in her profile, most of her pictures show her wearing sunglasses…   :P

Shagged Out…

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

Wah really shagged. But anyway managed to upload some pictures into my blog’s photo album. Was trying it out. They are pictures taken during our trip to Ubin on Monday. Well it was a trip of mixed feelings. Didn’t really enjoy myself too much because I guess that’s what happens when you are going with a bunch of girls. Can’t be too adventurous & it gets boring. Well glad that my laopo is not so averse to perspiration, Nature or the sun. This is what makes her different from most other girls & I’m very thankful for it. Otherwise life will get very boring for me…

Anyway the trip was not a total waste of time though. Managed to catch up with Kok Heng who kindly agreed to come with us on the trip, to be our "guinea pig", so to speak, for the project. He was one of my good friends in the army, & have kind of lost touch abit ever since the term started. We do hang around sometimes playing sports or going KTV, play pool etc… But we haven’t had the time since this sem began, & was glad for the opportunity to spend a whole day with him. It does feel good to renew the "brotherhood" with buddies once in awhile & I am really glad to have some really good buddies with whom I can talk to & just hang out with, & to maintain a balanced life; because although my lao po is really wonderful, we do need some other friends instead of just isolating ourselves into our own world.

Anyway wanna go sleep liao. Very tired. Seems that although I do have abit more sleep during this 4-days break (Whoever the genius came out with the idea of a 4-day break & insisting school restart on Friday…), I seem to be feeling more tired than when I had to attend lessons. But lao po gave me a massage @ her place today, & made me feel much better. Thanks lao po! Well anyway there’s only 2 more months to go before the holidays start again, & might be time for me to go work again. But Kok Heng & I have made plans to jio a few adventurous people & book a chalet at Ubin over a weekend. Guess that will keep me abit more motivated to get this sem over & done with.

OK going off liao. Might be blogging less often after this posting, so please don’t miss me too much k? If you all really do miss me, maybe can go & re-visit my previous postings lah haha. Should have enough to entertain you for awhile. Have a good weekend which is coming along! Back Arsenal with your money this weekend! That’s what I’m planning to do haha. Adios!

Break? Got Meh?

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Sienz ah, this week is meant to be a break from school, but what break?!? Think complaining about school is much safer after all. Less likely to be locked up by the government, so I shall do just that. Next week got 3 tests, this Friday have to go back for tutorial. Spent Monday & Wednesday doing project. Tuesday & Thursday doing individual assignments & studying for tests. Seems break is even busier! Liddat I rather no break sia.

Anyway saw an interesting movie last week. i have resolved to watch only selected movies ever since the ticket prices were raised, & I have only watched 2 movies since the price hike. This time it is the Eric Khoo movie "Be With Me". The "selected" movies are those that I think are good & are not likely to be sold in DVD form. In this case this is an M18 movie if I remember correctly. It is a pretty good movie, & I will recommend it to you guys. Pretty inspiring & requires you to use some brains while viewing it. If it were not M18 I would recommend it even to the teenagers, especially those who are wasting their lives away. This is a very inspiring movie, such that I would think that the counsellors can even use it to help get their clients back on track for their lives. Unfortunately it touches on the topic of lesbians, hence the M18 rating I think. But PERSONALLY I felt that it was pretty mild leh, & the M18 rating is kinda uncalled for. The worst part was that there was no nudity! Haha j/k… But I thought that 1 of the "lesbians" in the movie was quite cute though…

Aiyah sienz lah… No mood to blog now, with the time & content constraints. Maybe I might just close down my blog sometime in the near future. See how the response goes… Anyway here’s some more stuff to share with you guys. Hope you enjoy it.

Watching What I say…

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

Hmm, seems that after the 3 high-profile cases of bloggers getting charged for their postings, nobody is commenting on my blog anymore. I have also noticed that several of my friends have not blogged for awhile. I have also received friendly & concerned warnings from a couple of friends to watch what I say & to not openly make known my opinions on the PRCs anymore, just in case.

So, guess that’s what I’ll do- listen to their advice lor, although I do have some new scores to pick after another unpleasant encounter with a group of them on saturday evening. Though it is some friendly & caring advice, I do believe that those friends of mine would not like me to publicly acknowledge their concern right here, so I will not mention their names here.

Well anyway, from what it seems to me the government is going after the people who try to incite disharmony between groups of people within our country. Those 3 people who have been charged had all made the same mistake- of creating ill-feelings towards the Muslim/Malay community in Singapore. Why the Muslims were a common target in these cases I’m not sure, because I’m sure there are similar postings by others who do the same for the Chinese, Indians & Ang Mohs etc. But anyway what i have to say is that probably I won’t be doing the same in my case because the group of people I am most against are not in our country & they are communists, the very people whom our government fought so hard a few decades ago to keep out & to have everyone convinced they are bad people. Furthermore with regards to religion & race, I have got no problems with it. As long as the other people from other religions leave me alone to practise mine & do not try excessively to convert me etc, I will do the same for them. Race? Well if I have also got some good friends who are Malays & Indians, what have I probably got against them? The only Muslims that I hate are probably those who are terrorists, & the same can be said of terrorists of any religion. I also know it for a fact that most of the Muslims in Singapore are not terrorists.

The second point of contention is that according to the newspaper article I came across last week (refer to my previous posting), it was mentioned that the government is looking out for people who are advocating some kind of action which might create disharmony within our nation. They are not so much concerned about those of us who are merely voicing our opinion & have no plan for further action. However this explanation is still not totally clear to me. If I say in my blog that I hate the the soccer team Chelsea, & that if we came across Chelsea fans we should all jeer them in their faces, is that an offence under the Sedition Act? If so, are there going to be many arrests at the pubs every weekend, & the S-League should also be discontinued? There are acts to discriminate/incite disharmony among groups of people in our country in these instances right? Any of you out there who are more familiar with the law would like to enlighten the rest of us?

OK, enough of my ramblings. Shall stop here. I’m not expecting to see comments etc here because everyone is afraid of getting locked up now. Well, that’s life for us. Shall go back to my studying now. Tests next week. Wish me luck?

Power sia!

Hi people, here’s something to share again, this time courtesy of 1 of my friends who has declined to be named. Please be warned that if you are (or probably should I say have always been trying to pretend to be) one of those mama’s little angels, please do not click on the link as the words may have an adverse impact on your mental development or cause your little "innocent" world to come crashing down on you.

For the other normal people among us, please enjoy. Remember to turn up your volume to enjoy the funny conversation. Please listen to the whole thing because the ending part is really hilarious…

An Inspiring Seminar

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

Attended an inspiring seminar in school today conducted by Adam Khoo. It was pretty inspiring & motivational. He was telling us how to get ourselves closer to achieving financial success- something that I was definitely interested in. Well 1 of the important lessosn that i had learnt during the session that we are unlikely to get very far if we were merely employees working for a fixed income like what 97% of the world’s working people do, unless of course, you are some Durian guy earning peanuts & getting perks like a company-sponsored car & gold taps etc. But that’s beside the point, not many salaried people get to earn peanuts. So according to him, having my own business is 1 of the ways I could get closer to my dream of being filthy rich.

Well thinking about it, think that it does make sense. After all the top 3% wealthiest people in the world have got a combined income of much more than the rest of the 97% of us. Probably they must have got something right (discounting people like Paris Hilton of course), & most of them run their own business(es). Adam also mentioned that to be very successful financially we must have a plan which is totally unconventional. Simple logic here: if you behave & think "normally", then you will end up like the "normal" people which make up most of the world. Therefore when we have a plan which others dismiss as "crazy", we are on the right track.

So, being a fan of his for some time already, I have decided to follow his advice & come up with a business plan & put it into action. A plan has been done, & I’ve got everything ready except for resources, sad to say… So I’m appealing to all well-wishers, family, friends & fans of mine to show some love & lend some support for my "siao" plan. You don’t want a budding entrepreneur to be unable to realise his dream just because of a lack of opportunity & funds right? Furthermore it is only a small sum that I am lacking, & I am willing to take in partners for my business. I have estimated that I need about a grand total of 1 peanut (cf the TT Durian case) to start my business; & currently, after deducting the amount needed to get my lappie repaired, I am only short of the measly sum of $599,987.46. See, you guys don’t have to contribute that much because I do have some savings I’m willing & able to outlay into the business!

Alright, have to tell you more about the plan before you guys can be convinced to enter into a partnership with me. So here it goes:

The general plan is to manufacture & sell insecticide, which is in high demand right now, due to the dengue fever outbreak that we are facing in Singapore. See, sell insecticide sure make money right? Marketing teacher say before mah, the product must meet some needs of the customer if it is to succeed. Of course, since I am not willing to get my hands dirty & risk a life sentence killing the PRCs, I will just come up with a product that deals with their cousins- the cockroaches. It will be a personal victory for me as well. Sounds good? Here’s the rest of the details of the plan:

1) The product will of course be made in China. Cut cost mah. If not need more than 1 peanut loh. Of course, the quality of the product will be a problem, but who cares about a half-dead aedes mosquito? Furthermore to ensure that sales do not suffer as a result of customers finding out the product is MIC, we will employ the tactic used by some electronics companies; by printing on the packaging that the product is "produced by XXX Global Manufacturing’ or "Made in XXX Worldwide Production Plant", without any reference to the word "China". Just look at how many people around the world who have been fooled & you will know it works.

2) As with the usual sales talk that we encounter day in, day out, there must be some slogan that says the product works very well, sure to be on target every time etc. Of course such things do not have to be done by us. We just have to organise some marketing competitions in the local Universities & Polytechnics & we can get some good stuff for only a few thousand bucks in prizes!

3) We will also appeal to the "Green" & environmentally-friendly people by not using the aerosol sprays. We will claim that the product was made using purely natural herbs etc & instead of using a spray can, we will use the tablet form lor. Hehe paiseh can’t think of anything better… & to ensure that the home is not messed up we can come up with a tablet that has to be fed by hand to the cockroaches/mosquitoes etc. Tender Loving Care…   :P

4) It has also been mentioned in studies that when men & women make decisions in terms of purchases, we go for different things. men tend to look at features & buy stuff that has many features even though half of them we are not likely to ever use in our lifetime. So features have kinda been accounted for, & will continue later. But this point is about catering to the ladies- whom according to the same study, tend to look at the packaging & image of the product when making decisions instead of bothering themselves with the features like the men do. The best part is that after that they always accuse men of going for looks, but that is besides the point… So to cater to the ladies, we will have another version where the tablets come in heart-shaped tin cans which are pink in colour. & it will feature an ergonomic design which fits neatly into the handbag!

5) To ensure durability of the packaging design, the lid of the aluminium tins will come with steel rivets. For customers who are still using the old tins without the steel rivets, they will have until the end of the month to get the tins changed to steel rivets. Please book your contractors in avance to avoid a last-minute jacking up of prices.

6) Last but not least, I have another inspiration courtesy of the girls. I have noticed that usually cosmetic products usually come with a label that is pretty important to their customers. So to ensure that my product appeals to this group of customers too, I will have an identical label on the insecticide- one which reads:"this product has never been tested on animals"

So how, people? Convinced? A mad & innovative idea? Haha sometimes I really think I’m so damn smart that I can’t stand myself… So, please take a queue number for your interview to determine who gets to be my business partner k? Shortlisted candidates will be notified personally, otherwise please wait for my IPO. Anyway weekend is coming again. Look forward to a well-deserved rest.

Just a reminder that cash gifts or Toto tickets are very much preferred for my birthday. Please refer to my previous blog posting for details if you haven’t already done so. I would also like to take the opportunity to remind all readers of my blog to read my very first posting if you have not done so. It says you are not supposed to take me seriously (most of the time) & if I have cracked a joke at you, please know that it is purely that- a joke. If you are averse to having a laugh at yourself, please do not read my postings…

Something to Share with Everyone

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

Hi people, long time no blog. Been very busy with stuff like Finance quiz, & also had some shit happening. Just to tell you all: If you guys are planning to get me a birthday present, please forget it. i would rather you get me some toto tickets with your budget or just present cash gifts. I will be very grateful. Reason is that my laptop’s LCD screen cracked, & I’ve been told that I would need about $700 to get it fixed. Hence I’m desperately short of cash now. Therefore any cash inflow would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway here’s something interesting received in my email, & I thought I would like to share it with you guys. This is courtesy of Simeon, aka Peter, aka Junhao, aka Khew. he’s 1 of my good friends & regular pool buddy. Here’s what he forwarded me in an email:

Susie stumbled and fell. Her friend, Sherry, saw this happen. Being very

concerned, she had the insight to ask Susie the 3 questions below.

Suzie failed all three test-questions, so 995 was called. Even though

she had normal blood pressure readings and did not appear to

Be suffering a stroke (she could converse to some extent with the

Paramedics) they took her to the hospital right away.

Susie suffered brain damage after a massive stroke, but is recouping at

an incredible pace .

So simple - this literally saved Susie’s life - Some angel had

previously sent this advice to Suzie’s friend and she followed it

exactly.

Read and Learn the 3 steps!

A stroke occurs when oxygen fails to reach some part of the brain.

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.

Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim

will ( - WILL! -) suffer brain damage if people nearby fail to

recognize the symptoms of a stroke, and take action. Now doctors say a

bystander can recognize a stroke by asking the victim three simple

questions:

1.    Ask the individual to SMILE.

2.    Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

3.    Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE coherently (e.g. "It

is a sunny day today").

If he or she has trouble with ANY of these tasks, call 995 immediately

and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify

facial weakness / arm weakness / and speech problems, researchers now

urge the general public to learn the three questions. They presented

their conclusions at the American Stroke Association’s annual meeting

last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt

diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.

A cardiologist says that if everyone who gets this email sends it to

another 10 people, you can bet that at least one life will be saved

BE A FRIEND, AND SHARE THIS ARTICLE WITH AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE.

It could save their lives. A stroke changes the lives of all family and

friends around the victim, for years afterwards….

Well there you have it. Something that is useful to know, though I do hope non of us ever gets into a situation that requires us to recall it. Just in case we do, hope that info comes in useful. Anyway more interesting stuff that I came across that might bring us a few laughs. Enjoy…

PRCs Fuck OFF!!!

Monday, September 5th, 2005

Wah really buey tahan ah! Food Fair at Suntec can also get pissed by PRCs. Caught a pair of dirty thieves who tried to steal from our booth. A mother-&-son PRC pairing! Downright shameless!

The story goes that we had some free gifts in the form of free bottled drinking water which we used as free gifts at our discretion to potential buyers to entice them to stop at the booth & listen to our sales talk. However the main idea is that it was still at our discretion to give to whoever we felt was a target consumer, and it was definitely not for people to take as they please. So this mother-&-son PRC pair walked past & very stealthily & sneakliy took 2 bottles each & proceeded to walk off, very quickly.

It seemed from their body language that they had thought I had not noticed their thieving act, but unfortunately for them, I did. I called out to them, but the mother responded by taking quicker steps. However the kid hesitated & in that moment he stopped I managed to grab his arm. It was only then that the mother turned back, although it took her quite some time before she decided to turn back. Some kind of mother that is- that she probably had even entertained the thought of running off & leaving her 10-year-old son behind for that few seconds! However when she did turn back, it was to free her son, & not to apologise or to return the loot. That is what I call shameless! In the end I had to snatch back the stuff that they had stolen, & give them a glare before they would walk off. The best part of it was that the pair did not evacuate the scene. Rather the hung around for about an hour & in that hour the mother made her son make 2 more attempts, both of which were foiled again by my pushing his dirty hands away from my bottles. With this type of upbringing there is no wonder why the chinamen are all thieves & conmen.

My colleague also had a "wonderful" experience with another chinaman. Probably he was still pretty neutral towards these scums of the earth before this incident, so he actually offered 1 of the bottles to a China man who was walking by. & after the encounter his facial expression altered very significantly. I could see he was started to become "converted", like me… the China man had asked for more bottles because,"1 bottle is not enough for him, his wife & child to share". he probably thought we were obliged to provide for his family… Then that was not all- after that he said it was hard for him to carry 3 bottles back to his table "some distance away", a back-breaking 10 metres away from the booth! So "for goodness sake, why can’t you get me a plastic bag to carry these bottles in? You Singaporeans really don’t use your brains!"

Well, need I say more? Haha have we all wondered what PRC stands for? I sometimes think it is an insult to the Taiwanese that People’s Republic of China sounds abit like Republic of China (ROC). To begin with, I don’t know what the P in PRC is there for. You mean they can be considered people? i am of the opinion that the most civilised & human-like people in China are those from the hill tribes. Perhaps P should stand for something like Pests instead of People… Doesn’t that sound more accurate a description? Pests’ Republic of China? Or maybe it still doesn;t sound so good… China… I also agree with the PRCs when they say there is only 1 China. & since my ancestors came from China, I guess the only CHina that I would not be embarassed to trace my ancestorhood back to is Taiwan. So PRC shoudl not ba called CHina since they keep insisting there should b only 1 China! So how about Pests’ Republic of… COnmen? If they wanna insist they are the only China, then maybe all I can say to those PRCs in Singapore: Please Return to China, also PRC!

Aiyah enough rumbling on about these shameless creatures. Guess this may generate some comments… Well keep them coming in, & I shall see how many of you are also as "prejudiced" as me, as a few of my naive friends consider me when on this topic of this contemptible scums… Hehe

If there are any PRCs reading this, all I have to say to you: Fuck off!

The writer insists that he was not anti-China until a few years ago, when he has had nothing but bad experiences with almost every single PRC he has come across. He has tried in vain to reconcile with the fact that 1/4 of the world’s recorded human popoulation is actually made up of cockroaches, & no matter how hard you try, they keep multiplying much faster than you can get rid of them. He also wonders why the majority of Muslims are being wrongly discriminated against in so many places when there are more urgent issues with a plague of pests at hand. He also strongly believes that the many natural disasters over the past few year in the huge piece of wasteland inhabitated by PRCs are a sign of heaven’s displeasure…

Merdeka!

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

I’m sorry this came 1 day late. Had actually tried to post this yesterday, but somehow kena play out by friendster. But luckily somehow my work is not gone, so I can post it again.

Hehe as the title goes, I would like to wish my Malaysian friends happy Independence Day. August 31st is the National Day for Malaysia- the anniversary of their independence from the British as most of us know. It is also durign thsi time that I am usually reminded of my birthday. My birthday is exactly 28 days after Malaysia’s Independence day, so usually I just have to know which day August 31st falls on to know which day my birthday is on.

Well some of the more kiasu people amongst you, my friends, have already started to ask me what I wish to receive for my birthday wish. Most of you have expressed appreciation if I would just tell them what I want. Since I am such an understanding person, I shall assume that the reason these people have asked me to state what I want is not because they are lazy or simply not bothered to think about what to get me… So, what does that leave us with? Hehe to look on the bright side, maybe you guys think that I fucking have everything & don’t know what I lack? Haha that sounds incredible, so izit that you all don’t know me well enough?. Keke just kidding ah, don’t feel offended ah… Anyway to make life easier for you guys, I shall make a quick list of what I hope to receive for my birthday. Makes life easy for me too lah. As you all know I’ve got a small home, so all unwanted stuff will have to be thrown away (sad to say I’m serious about this part), so this is to make sure what I do receive is useful. Here it goes:

1) A car. As you all know, I do not have an expensive taste for cars, so I will not ask for Ferraris, Porsches etc lah. Maybe a Mazda RX8, Toyota Celica, Peugeot 307cc, Mini Cooper etc will do very nicely, thank you!

2) A pool cue. For the more low budget ones among you lah. One that has got wood dried up over a decade using the natural process will suffice. I know that you guys will feel bad if you just got me an ordinary 2-year, artificially-dried or fibreglass cue right? Won’t look nice on you mah. I always knew you guys love me! :P

3) A 9-feet pool table. Got pool cue need somewhere to practise right? What’s better than a place to practise right in the living room?

4) New home. Got pool table not enough space in the house sounds dumb right? So of course need new home lah. Preferably with space to park the car in 1) too :P

5) If for some reason you people think the above options are crazy/unfeasible etc, Fret not, the 5th option is for you. Whatever budget you have set aside for my gift, eg $20 per person, just buy Toto with that $20 per person & put in hongbao give me lor. For all you know, after that you can really claim to have given me some of the above items for my birthday. Better still, the winning ticket could win me some peanuts (cf NKF) & I can give you all a good treat!

Oh yes, by the way, COMEX is coming… Guess most of you will be going there too. Just a word of warning- please open up your eyes big big & don’t kena buy some MIC stuff! MICkey mouse quality is not something we all want for computer products… Furthermore, please do not contribute towards CHina’s war efforts- the preparation for an invasion against Taiwan. The way to do this in our little ways is to not contribute towards their economy. I dare say that on average a made-in-Malaysia product is at least 5 times better than a MIC one, in many aspects! Not to mention the made-in-Japan, Europe or Korea 1s. China sucks!

Hehe ok going sleep liao. Very tired. Had a long day. Take care, everyone. Weekend coming soon. Endure!

On top of pretending to be a University student, the writer is also a part-time salesman. He will be working for Luen Wah, the local distributor for Beiklin products this Friday to Sunday at the Suntec Food Fair. He welcomes anyone who wants to pay him a visit. However you will be even more welcome if you present yourself with some packed lunch etc for him. Otherwise it’s ok lah, he appreciates the fact that he holds a place in your heart. It’s enough for him, don’t have to come & take up space… :P
