What you know about iphone?

2010-02-26T09:14:00.007+08:00

Iphone 3GS, a lot of people dream about it and save some money to buy this phone. This happen to me as well. But after I find out one important reason from my colleague on last month Jan 2010, it has changed my mind to NOT buy for this phone anymore. This phone actually cost from RM 1990 to RM 2950. I think a lot of people do not aware of this issue as well. Below table I take from Maxis web. You may visit maxis.com.my to find out more and accurate information.

There a 4 reason to stop me purchase this high technology phone.

1. Once your battery is bad, you have to pay RM800 to change the battery.
2. After you send your iphone to change the battery, Apple will send your phone back to OEM to change for you. Time frame 2 – 3 months. You will lose your iphone for few months.
3. After that you are so happy to receive back your iphone, the iphone that you own are not guarantee is your original unit and will be refurbish iphone that someone own.
4. Iphone email cannot receive attachment…… These issues really kill some of us who use iphone for business purpose.

You may call Apple or Maxis to ask for the detail. I do the same thing and found out is true. If there is any new information, please do inform me thru this blog so that I will buy this iphone. Actually I really like/need it because of so high tech and beautiful phone. ^^

Oh! Saturday...Saturday

2009-08-08T16:56:00.001+08:00

Today, I suddenly feel like eating and enjoying a good-food at restaurant. There are a few newly open restaurants nearby my area here and I was thinking to bring my wife to dine in there to try out the food. But, since one of my colleagues is recommending us to try dine at another newly open restaurant located somewhere at Tanjung Tokong area, maybe I will bring my wife there tonight. According to my friend, that restaurant is served western food; but he cannot sure either that restaurant is a Germany restaurant or restaurants london. Anyway, he said the food is not bad, the price is reasonable and the environment is very nice! He grades the restaurant to 4 stars out of 5! So, I think me and my wife must give ourselves a try then…I will bring my digital camera along with me and for sure will snap some photos to upload in my blog later on. Just come back to visit my blog for all those nice foods that I’m going to lure you guys…yeah!

Today is a rainy day in Penang Island and I was dilly-dallying at home doing nothing; sit right in front of my desktop, don’t know what to do with it, staring at the monitor for a while and really not feeling like wanting to play any online games as well. Then suddenly my fingers are like automatically press the keyboard to type in the words “restaurants and pubs” then “google” search for it…hah! Guess my mind is full of food huh! One thing that attracts me during the search is the pubs london where I personally find that pubs in London are really nice. Hope that in future I will have the chance to business trip to London and will for sure to experience the pubs there!

See, I will just do “nonsense” when I’m kind of “lazy” during weekend and moreover outside having a heavy rain! Will you do “nonsense” too sometimes?

How you pass your free time in office

2009-07-22T19:09:00.003+08:00

Today I want to “gossip” about my female colleagues; what they did when they are free during lunch hour. Well, three of them will sit in front of a computer, surf net and check out online shopping stores. Sometimes they are looking at clothing, cosmetic products, skin cares and etc. I purposely walked close to them to see what they are looking at for today, well…”shoes for women” is their today-topic, hah!

They told me Jildor is a very popular online store for ladies shoes. One of them is prefer stuart weitzman collections and the other one is more prefer marc by marc jacobs shoes. They will just compare and compare…comments and comments between shoes to shoes until times up to start work again!

Well, I think this is good at least they find their way to pass the “boring” time in the office huh! So, how do you pass your “boring” time in the office? Or you will have no free time at all in the office? Mind to share yours here…

Towel Wrap As A Gift For My Sister

2009-07-21T12:51:00.003+08:00

Now is my time to think what birthday gift to be present to my sister as her birthday is just round the corner. I really can’t make up my mind what to buy for her. So, I went in posylane.com to look-see…look-see for some items.

Anyway, I have short-listed out some items that I might buy for her via online. There are either towel wrap, laundry bag or nap mat. The reason I choose posylane.com is because they provide embroidery to the items purchase and make the gift so special and personalize with the name or any wording to be pasted on the items. I feel this idea is so good and I will buy one to present for my sister.

My wife said, out of the 3 items, the towel wrap is the most suitable to present for her and then embroidery her name on the towel... that will be nice. What do you think?

Play For Fun

2009-07-02T13:09:00.001+08:00

Last week, I’m asking my mother-in-law, have you heard about titanpoker? She replied, “No” to me. I thought she knows as she likes to pass her time by playing free online slot machine games. Since she doesn’t know, I introduced an online poker sites which is CasinoVerdiener.com to her.

For newbie, he/she will receive a welcome bonus of up to £250 with his/her first deposit by entering with partypoker bonus code during registration.

Anyhow, my mother-in-law feedback that she is not interested in any table games. She likes slot machine as it is not require any gambling knowledge and that will make her day more fun by playing it.

Famous Fooooooood in Penang

2009-07-01T20:52:00.008+08:00

Trademark Registration Process

2009-07-01T18:01:00.002+08:00

As far as I know; well… informally… registered trademark can provide legal protection for our products brand and services to legally stop others from trading it. The owner of a registered trademark may commence legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorized use of that trademark. Besides, registered trademark is also refers to a special or uniquely of a company logo, symbol, company name, word, phrase, design and image for the purpose to differentiate its products or services from other companies. Anyway, like I said, if you are unsure like me about the details of what a trademark is…the best and safer way to handle this matter is to seek the advice of our accountant, lawyer or trademark attorney.

Currently, there are a lot of Trademark and Domain Name Registration service providers available in the internet; one of the examples is http://www.marcaria.com/. They have a team of expert Intellectual Property Attorneys in each country to personally in charge and provide their services related to trademark registration processing. To my surprise is that, they have one representative Attorney in Malaysia that will in charge Malaysian trademark registration process…this is wonderful!
I take a look at the above mentioned sites and found out that the Japanese can easily file their trademarks Japan application online via the system; the Trademark registration Japan by following the 3 simple steps, whereby:

* Step1 – Trademark Comprehensive Study

* Step2 - Trademark Registration Request

* Step3 – Trademark Registration Certificate

Once the Register trademark Japan is approved, the trademark certificate will be obtained under Step3. The certificate will be sending to customer’s address with a report stated the registration number, registration date and other trademark registration details in Japan.

If you are one of those who are looking for trademark registration, then it is a correct time for you to browse thru this websites to find out more details. I’m sure this site going to benefits you a lot.

Glow In The Dark

2009-06-23T19:55:00.001+08:00

Last Sunday (14 Jun), my wife and I were attending my boss son’s birthday party. It was a great party, we both enjoy very much in the party and so do other guests. Good food; served by Eden Buffet. Well, I just want to share out here is that, during the party; upon arrival, every guests are given 2 glow sticks to wear at our wrists. When everyone joins in at the garden compound, the mixture attractive colours of glow sticks at each of our wrists creates a lovely light effect that turning the whole scenario into so fabulous and lively! I can say that, not only children are attracted by the glow sticks but adults are surely fascinated by it’s glowing too!

In fact, glow sticks are use just about for anything and everything. Be it in parties, concerts, decorating or even as a gift. One of my friend share with us that he and his “angler” friends make use of this glow sticks to act as fishing lure. Now, his idea triggers me that I should make use of the glow sticks to decorate my stunt kite. Since, my kite members and I “fly” our stunt kites at night time, so it is a good idea to turn our kites into glow in the dark sky. Wow! Sound great isn’t it! I can’t wait any longer to see the glowing…hah!

I found in http://www.glow-sticks.org/ sites, their “mini glow sticks”; where comes with 1.5 inch in length are the right size for my purpose in decorating my kite. They have 5 colours for this mini glow sticks; orange, yellow, blue, green and purple. I think I will order a few packets from them for trial. I suppose this mini glow sticks won’t affect my kite’s balancing after I attached them on!

Shopping for Toddler Backpack

2009-06-13T23:37:00.001+08:00

Last week I bring my wife, my sister-in-law and her 5-years old son to buy a toddler backpack. Nowadays, there are so many pattern and design of backpack that are available in shops. I told my sister-in-law better choose the right backpack for her son especially with wide padded shoulder straps and a padded back, a waist strap to distribute weight evenly throughout the body and also must have multiple compartments to avoid the weight centered in one place. All these points are important to prevent toddler muscles and joints injure and also to prevent back, neck and shoulder pain in long run. After we’ve done with the payment, her son suddenly said to her mom that he wants to embroider his name on the backpack like what his friend has his own personalized children’s plates with his name printed on the plate. I think that is a good idea to embroider his name on the backpack, don’t you think so!

Time run fast, we’ve been shopping in the mall for about 4 hours already. No wonder each of us feel tired. Before we went back home, we pass by children toy shops and this little boy is pestering us to enter the shop. Well, there is one game-ride; ezy roller is really attracting my attention. It is suitable for kids aged 3-14 years old. Well, after the toy shop, we all went home happily with all the things that we managed to get for ourselves.

Star Wars

2009-06-13T20:27:00.001+08:00

Last weekend, my wife and I visited her friend’s house at Butterworth before we continued our journey to Jusco (at Butterworth). During the visit, I notice that there are a few miniature Star Wars heroes’ displays in his son’s room. Wow! I like those because they are really cute. When I was young, my mother always brings me to cinema to watch this kind of movie. The most impressed me about Star Wars is the “giant-like” ship flies over the screen when the movie start. Hope you guys enjoy the little hero here.

What To Buy For HER

2009-06-13T10:31:00.005+08:00

What to buy, Apple’s iPhone or Apple’s iPod? Oh…scratching my head! Of course is not buying for myself, I’m planning to buy for my wife as her birthday present that her birthday is falls on this month end. Or should I get her an Apple’s iTrip? Or I better ask her what she wants before buying anything for her?

But if I go for iPod, there are so many types of iPods available in market; I have no idea which one to go for her…iPod nano, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle, iPod red and iPod Mini, oh no…again scratching my head! If she has iPod, I’m sure she wants to take the iPod and the speakers whenever she goes be it at home or even on the road. So, I better get her a portable speaker dock as well as other iPod accessories to let her have a complete set of iPod audio system.

I’m not sure whether Apple’s iTrip is available in Malaysia market or not! Will have myself to check this out! iTrip is an FM transmitter produced by Griffin Technology that can be plug into the iPod's headphone jack so that we can listen to our music through the car radio. It comes with black and white colour.

Anyway, I still have time to think of some other items to present my wife besides above few suggestions.

Strange Thing Happen To My House Hio Low

2009-02-02T15:14:00.008+08:00

Strange thing happen to my house “Hio Low”. Please read on!

I want to tell you all about one strange, funny and cute thing happen to my house “Hio Low”. You know what, yesterday night when I wanted to burn joss stick to pray my Kuan Yin, suddenly I noticed that my “Hio Low” is growing plants! Look carefully at the above pictures. I counted the plants and total are 9 plants grown.

The plants are actually comes from the “4-type-beans” that put inside the “Hio Low” and cover up by the joss stick ashes. The strange is that how can the plants grow in the “Hio Low” where no water, no soils and the environment in “Hio Low” is hot! It is ridiculous!

I did not know what to do with the plants and what is the meaning of the plants that Kuan Yin address to both of us (my wife and I)? The next day which is today, I called up one of the Sifu that I know well. I consult his advice and opinion regarding the plants. Well, he is asking us to bring my “Hio Low” to his temple and he will do a little prayer and steps on how to settle this matter.

When we both reached his temple, we hand over our “Hio Low” to Sifu and he smile at us and said this is a very cute and funny thing happens. And it is the first time he sees plants grow in the “Hio Low”! Later, Sifu starts his prayers. He is asking my wife whether we want to grow the plants or not. My wife said “Yes, of course as these plants are so special to both of us”. Then Sifu separated out the plants to flower pot and give it to my wife. He then continues with his prayers and steps. He then put in the new “4-type-beans” and replaces the joss stick ashes for us. We drive back home our “Hio Low” with 3-burnt joss sticks until we reach our house. We did a few steps that teach by Sifu that we must follow before and after entering to our house until we placing back the “Hio Low” at the alter.

According to Sifu, we should feel happy as this is a good sign and nothing to worry about. He also jokes with us that we must call the media to come and snap photos and published the story out in the newspaper…hahahaha!

Well, a few more photos to share with you all...

Come! Take A Look At My Stunt Kite

2009-01-11T23:34:00.015+08:00

Recently, I’m busy with my new hobby; it is called “Stunt Kite”. Anyone of you ever heard about it? Well, Stunt kites also known as sport or acrobatic kites, offer the pilot ability to steer the kite and perform tricks. Two lines (at a fixed length ~ 100m) control the kite, similar to steering a bicycle. The two flying lines are connected to handles or straps on one end and connected to the bridle of the kite on the opposite end of the line. You can control the kite by pulling in one line to make it turn in the direction you want, if you pull the right hand line the kite will turn to the right and vice versa. These kites are easy to learn but need a lot of practice in order to master the tricks performances.

There are a lot of companies that selling the stunt kite abroad. And they came with many, many types of design and pattern. About 6 years back, I did purchase one unit with about 5.5ft height of kite via EBay but that unit’s quality is not really good and it needs a very, very strong wind to fly it. End up I hardly can play it at Penang. I need a strong wind; says about 25mph only can fly the kite up.

Here I wanted to show you my newly bought 8.5ft height (95 inches tall) stunt kite.

I bought it from one of the retailer here in Penang, Mr. Azemi. He is the master of stunt kite and have been representing Malaysia for the stunt kite competition many, many times already. I’m so lucky that able to teach and coach by Mr. Azemi and Mr. Azahar (who is the Malaysia Kite president).

This kite is no jokes, folk! It can pull me forward when I fly it and so I have to fight with the strong wind until my body is about 45 or 30 degree backwards (slantingly). And the kite makes a very fantastic noisy sound (like a jet plane) when it blows by the wind. That noisy sound is the one that really attracts people. It is so fun! Those with skinny body are not advice to play this kite.

I bought the above stunt kite with RM 600 and it is considered a very good deal already. Some with the very professional kites are selling with price about RM 1000++. But, there are many ranges of kites and quality that available which will cost from RM 250 to RM2000. It is very much depending on individual budget and needs…

Here I wanted to show you the movie that capture by my wife while I’m playing tricks with my friends at Padang Kota Lama (Esplanade). We clip on some tiny lights so that the kite looks more elegance in the dark sky and you can hear the noise makes by the kite too. Enjoy it!

Message for you Borneo Falcon, I think my wife (amycheah) did comment on your blog related the Padang Kota Lama saying that many people are playing kites at night at there. Anyhow, stunt kite cannot play throughout the year in Padang Kota Lama. It usually can only be played during December and January due to the strong wind strike. But other type of kites; yes can be play throughout the year there.

My name shows up on The Star Newspaper???

2009-01-08T23:21:00.006+08:00

Today when I go to work, my colleagues ask me how come I still coming to work. I thought you were in the Vietnam jail? Then I ask them anything going wrong and they show me “The Star” newspaper that my name was appeared in today newspaper. After I read only understand because of there are one guy with the same name as mine get caught due to using fake Credit Card. Luckily the newspaper did mention his age (younger than me) otherwise “I jump into China Yellow River also cannot get clean”. Hahaha

Below is the news:-

Two M’sians jailed in Vietnam for using fake credit cards

HANOI: A Hanoi court sentenced two Malaysians Tan Wei Hong, 26, and Cham Tack Choi, 23, to seven years in prison on charges of using fake credit cards.

The two Malaysians were arrested on December 21, 2007 when they went on a shopping spree at the Louis Vuitton fashion shop in Ngo Quyen street, Hoan Kiem district in Hanoi, buying expensive suitcases and bags costing almost US6,000 dollars.

While Choi was paying the cashier with three international credit cards bearing his name, a staff member recognised him as he had previously used contraband credit cards to pay for goods in the same shop and reported him to the police.

Hong later admitted to the police that he had visited Vietnam on three occasions and had used fake credit cards to pay for VND293mi (US17,000 dollars) worth of goods.

Meanwhile Choi had made two visits to Vietnam for the same purpose and had used fake cards to rack up more than VND 275mil (US16,200 dollars) in goods. - Bernama

My New High Tech PC#3

2009-01-01T17:41:00.018+08:00

I’d like to continue my previous post here. I talked about I’m using Kingston HyperX memory, Cooler Master Heatsink and 2 SATA Hardisk. Here you go...

Why I choose to use HyperX memory instead of using normal DDR 2? That's because HyperX DDR2 modules are specifically engineered and designed to meet the rigorous requirements of PC enthusiasts. Meaning HyperX memory is designed based on the latest memory specifications to deliver ultra performance for PC gaming. HyperX DDR2 offers faster speeds, lower latencies, higher data bandwidths and lower power consumption than DDR. The best of Kingston's company is they offer all their memory products with life time warranty.
Below are the details:
KHX6400D2K2/4G = 4GB kit DDR2 800MHz Non-ECC CL5(kit of 2 - 2GB)
Timing = 5-5-5-15
Voltage = 1.8V

For microprocessor heat sink, I'm using Cooler Master Brand. Anyway, some user they prefer using Liquid coolant technology. Coolant technology is good but it is troublesome as need to maintain the coolant that's why I'm not using it.

For Hard disk, I prefer using WD brand because of their stabilities and quality. I have 2 units of hard disks in one casing, there are:
1 HD = 500G (I used for WinXP)
1 HD = 750G (I used for Win Vista)

Well, you might want to know what about my graphic card then? I'm using 7600GT. I still haven’t thinking of changing it for the time being as with my QX9650 processor and 4G memory is enough for me to play RA3 without any lagging issue.

I would like to show you the overview of my PC.

My New High Tech PC Part#2

2008-12-29T17:10:00.000+08:00

Let me talk about my Power Supply and CPU (Microprocessor). Both items are the core devices in computer.

Power Supply (PS) - I use Cooler Master eXtreme Power 650W SLI Ready (below diagram). This type of PS provide about 650W with MTBF ~100k hours. Meaning it has about 11.4 year of life spend. It cost me about RM 280.

Cooler Master eXtreme Power 650W SLI Ready

Below diagrams are the connectors for the Power Supply.

20+4 pin x 1 Motherboard Connector.

4 pin x 1 CPU +12V Connector.

6 pin x 1 PCI-e Connectors.

S-ATA x 3 S-ATA Connectors (New PS socket for Hard disk or DVD).

4 pin x 6 Peripheral Connectors (Usually use for old IDE Hard disk or DVD).

4 pin x 2 Floppy Connectors

Now let's talk about Microprocessor. This is Intel latest microprocessor with great Quad core performance (Intel® Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor). With this microprocessor, it can launch 4 jobs at the same time without degrade your work. For those who like to perform video conversion or high graphic works, I highly recommend you to purchase it. EBAY sell this microprocessor at USD1099 (RM3956) and Lelong sell at RM3700. You may visit Intel website for more information.

With this four processing cores (Intel Core 2 Extreme processor) delivers unrivaled¹ performance for the latest, greatest generation of multi-threaded games and multimedia applications. Now with a new version based on Intel's cutting edge 45nm technology utilizing hafnium-infused circuitry to deliver even greater performance and power efficiency.

The Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor QX9650 running at 3.0 GHz delivers the best possible experience for today's most demanding users.

My New High Tech PC Part#1

2008-12-27T12:03:00.014+08:00

Today I was decided to upgrade my computer from Pentium 4 Hyper Trading 3GHz to Intel Quad Core QX9650 3GHz. Why I want to upgrade? Because of new Technology which saving my house energy and give me faster speed when launch the operation/application software (OS/AS). OS means your Windows XP, Vista, Linux, Sun and etc. AS means your Microsoft Office (Excel, Power point, Words and etc.), Gaming software, AutoCAD, Antivirus and etc.

Usually one PC consists of Motherboard, Memory, Microprocessor, Graphic Card, Hard Disk, DVD RW, Power Supply, Casing, LCD, Speaker, Keyboard and Mouse. The most important are Motherboard, Microprocessor, Memory and Graphic Card. But there are one important device which everyone seems to ignore it is Power Supply. No matter how advance devices install into your PC but without a stable Power Supply your computer will keep rebooting or hang.

Today part #1 I want to show you my latest motherboard. The reason I choose this Gigabyte MB is because I trusted to this company MB and so far I have been using this brand MB for up to 3 generations already and is without any single problem occur. This MB cost me RM490.

This MB comes with 2 oz copper layer. What is this mean? Every circuit board has its own design and comes with multi layer. You may think that the MB itself just in 1 big piece of board but actually inside the board has many layers and each layer has its own copper traces. These copper traces are actually carries electron or signal to your devices. Just imaging the traces is like the road when you are driving in either a freeway or a small road...which one you prefer to drive in? Sure we choose to be drive in the freeway...wide, smooth and faster lane! This is some theory on MB copper traces. But for those who know technology, more copper meaning more resistance. Surprisingly, Gigabyte can solve this issue in this board.

Here is the information about energy saving. After I install and launch the software, every second it shows how much I have save the energy. But I not really can I trust the technology. :P

This is the new motherboard that I just purchased. As you can see the Southbridge chipset cover up with the new technology heat sink. This will gave the Southbridge chipset more stable in proceeding its job.

Look at my old motherboard. What do you think? Hehe

Doremon Celebration X'mas 2008

2008-12-15T22:33:00.004+08:00

Isn’t it beautiful?

Final Year Project In Secondary School

2008-12-09T19:38:00.006+08:00

Do you ever think to own your personalized shirts? During my final year in secondary school, the last Art project is to make our own custom t-shirt. Our teacher requested all the students divided into few groups. After that we have to come out our own groups design and the design will be “buy-off” by our teacher. Once approved, we are ready to do the t-shirt printing. The whole process of t-shirt printing is complicated and hard to perform because all of us have no experience on it and furthermore the process is done manually. Anyway, we all still enjoy doing that printing process and it is really fun.

First, our approved design will be printed onto a frame with negative that we build ourselves. This is a very hard process because we have to be very careful when the negative expose to sunlight as the images will be captured on to our shirt. If it is not nice, then we have to re-do everything again. At last we have successfully come out the dragon design and printed with multi color onto our t-shirts. Why we choose the dragon design? This is because our group is all male youngsters and we are as powerful as a dragon.

Nowadays we have an advance technology in doing t-shirt printing. We even can do the printing at our house by just print out the desired design by our printer and paste it to our shirt by ironing. I surf via internet and found one of the website that has a good deal. They have cheap custom t-shirt printing and you can actually upload your photo to customize it. Just imaging you customize your family t-shirt? How sweet to have a happy family t-shirt of yours...hah!

New Games

2008-12-01T21:29:00.003+08:00

Red Alert 3 is the world most famous strategy games. I really love this game and it is just launch last month. I bought the original copied of RA1 to RA2 and sometimes I play online too with the world gamer.

In my opinion, strategy game is not only strategy game as it is! But, it teaches us on how to manage our crew, how to conquer or develop our own safe landscape whereby I resemble these techniques in my career, like how to plan my work project, strategy on presentation steps and competency to present my project to my boss. See, that is the benefits gain from playing games.

Magic Show

2008-11-26T03:19:00.003+08:00

Well today I’m going to reveal my talent to everyone of you – that is I know how to do magic. I started to learn magic since I was 13. The first magic that I know is “pin walking in napkin”. I did a magic show to cheer up all the old folks when we (my company trip) visiting the old folks house this year.

Okay, in coming up post, I will show you all the magic that I know. I will ask Amy to capture the video. Stay tune!

Here, I attached one of the magic video to temporary entertained you guys first. Hope you will like it.

Cube

2008-11-23T03:08:00.003+08:00

Before

After ~4 minutes

I believe many of us played before this “Cube” thingy right? I still remember when kids time, I tried to solve this Cube but always able to turn 1 face instead of all 6 faces. But now, I can turn all 6 faces in 5 minutes...cool! Anyway, still a lot of people can turn the cube with all 6 faces done without looking at the Cubes. That’s amazing!

Direct TV and Internet Service

2008-11-23T02:07:00.006+08:00

Now a day satellite TV Astro is part of our life. Due to satellite TV give us very clear pictures compared to traditional TV station. But not only have that satellite TV had more channels around the world but more interesting movie like HBO and Star Movie. This is why I choose satellite TV in our country.

The only different among Asia and Western are Western having more satellite TV or direct TV companies than Asia. They also have more than 1000 channels after subscribed compare to us Asia not more than 50 channels.

DIRECT TV is the most popular Satellite Television Service Provider that American like. As I visited my friend’s house in the US, almost all of them either have the Satellite TV or Direct TV. Thousand of TV channel they can watch compared to “Astro” in Malaysia. They do have the HIGH SPEED INTERNET up to 100MB compared to us only 4MB and that is also not cover some of the area in Malaysia. Even we are using 1G DSL modem but our speed is not match with the network line we use. Sigh! Hope that Malaysia can pick up the speed and Direct TV service soon.

Lombard Street

2008-11-22T19:53:00.005+08:00

Lombard Street in San Francisco is the America’s crookedest street. It is one of the tourist attraction spot. From the above pix, you can see the steep, hills and sharp curves of one-way road pass by grand Victorian mansions and the street is paved with bricks. You will see a lot of tourist taking pictures at the street; me and my wife did the same too, hah!

After taking pictures, we both experience ourselves and drive through this crookedest street. Well, the fun of going down Lombard Street will definitely give us a few moments of fear and fun.

Camping at US

2008-11-22T19:26:00.005+08:00

Me and my friend swim in this lake.

You can find this beautiful waterfall in Yosemite.

On July 17 2005, Amy, my colleague Geeva and I plan to go to Yosemite National Park at CA. We were so excited because we never been to this famous national park before. The weather is just nice because the snow started to melt during that time frame.

The first day we reached there, we stayed at a hotel. It is so lucky that we met the Yosemite County. We all chat a lot during that night and he was so nice to give us the Yosemite entry park cards. Yeah! By having that entry card, we can save the entry ticket fees.

The 2nd day, we started our journey to drive to Yosemite National Park; again we have another surprise that was we met one of the colleague with his family. Later, we decided to join as a big group to have fun around the national park. We even camp at the lake site and my colleague and I swim in the lake that is about sea level 1500 ft. The water is so cold but we really enjoy it.

Next year, my colleague Geeva will go again to USA for business trip. If I will have my business trip too, then we both will plan to go to Pennsylvania’s scenic Pocono Mountains. I’ve looking into the Poconos Summer Camp because it has a very good facilities and this camp has 1100 acre and located at south of Wilkes-Barre in Pennsylvania’s scenic Pocono Mountains.

Wireless Phone

2008-11-22T19:05:00.004+08:00

I bought this wireless phone (with speaker phone) from US. It comes with 3 sets of hand set with voice mail system. It is cool! With the wireless, I will not get any miss call even I’m in toilet...hah! I just love it.

Furthermore, it has the speaker phone features that make my life easier when I have a conference meeting (at home) with my abroad colleagues as I do not need to hold the phone set for 1 to 2 hours meeting.

Get Boots For Thanks Giving Day

2008-11-21T22:10:00.010+08:00

When I was in USA, I like to go shopping while off from work. It is kind of boring to stay at hotel doing nothing right after back from office. Due to I have to complete all the shopping list that given by Amy and friends, I always have to go to ladies department to search for the “items”.

In ladies department actually there are a lot of things to look around and there are like boots or shoes, clothing, hand beg and many more… Especially when they have any clearance or discount on sale, I will “fly” there to looks for the cheap items. Sometimes, I manage to get some cheaper clothes which cost only USD3. That’s my winning item.

But what impressed me were the Baby Phat brands. Baby Phat have a store located in New York City and this brand captures the bold, fun and sexy attitude of women. Especially the Baby Phat Boots because there are a lot of choices and stylish fashion. I never had seen so many types of boot's design and style like Baby Phat Boots have had. You may want to take a look at it because they do sales online. If you have yet buy anything for this coming thanks giving day, here is the great deal. ^^

One of my favorite snacks is “Egg Tat”. Recently, my wife and I, we went to a restaurant to have our lunch. It is opposite Queensbay Mall but sorry that I forget the restaurant’s name. We ordered our food and one of it is “Egg Tat”. It is delicious. Even other dishes that we ordered are all okay. The restaurant is clean and it is with air-conditioning. So, to all those that can’t stand the hot weather in Penang, well this restaurant is suit you most! Good food; clean; as well as with AC installed.

Gold Honda Perlude

2008-11-21T14:57:00.003+08:00

Amy would like to buy some plastic containers at Sg. Ara shop. So, we both went there and when we arrived at the shop, we stumbled on this attractive car- "Gold Honda Prelude". It is really catches my eyes. When Amy went inside the shop to buy the containers, I kept busy myself to have a look at this “gold” car. I chat with the car owner for a while and I get his permission to open the door to get in the car.

Wow! It is amazing...because of all the items in the car are in gold. But I suppose, it is not the real gold. Anyway, this guy is really creative to design and decorate his car in such an attractive one. Thumbs up!

Shopping Mall Having A Christmas Promotion

2008-11-21T13:42:00.002+08:00

Christmas day is just around the corner. Well, can be seen that all the shopping malls in Penang already started their special offer deal. Shopping malls turns to be so hilarious. Many people started to “hunt” for new clothes, shoes and others. Some of the Promotional Items are really worth to purchase and we (my wife and I) can’t control ourselves from that special deal temptation anymore and we’re planning to go wild with our shopping spree by tomorrow!

We’re going to look for items like clothing, shoes and of course lingerie...hah!

Colon Cleanse

2008-11-21T12:49:00.002+08:00

Do you detoxify your colon? Well, I did but I stopped for the pass few months because I was away from home for business trip. I did not bring the Dual Action Cleanse together with me to oversea. And I think it is time for me to start again my detoxification of colon.

Why must we detoxify our colon? The idea of colon cleanse process is to eliminate the toxins which built in our digestive system. By eliminating the toxins from being absorbed by our body, it gives a sense of increased energy, decrease in gas or bloating, more radiant skin and hair, and an overall trimmer appearance.

Let’s stay young and stay healthy with colon detoxification!

Souvenir from China

2008-11-21T12:47:00.001+08:00

My boss went to China for business trip and he purchased these chopsticks as a souvenir to all of us. Total have 9 different design and color. It is nice, I choose one and I placed it at my cubicle.

Coats

2008-11-21T12:45:00.004+08:00

I always admired those people stayed in cold climate country that they have the chance to wear coat. I always wanted so much to owned one for myself but no point for me to have it because I’m staying in tropical country where we have a warm weather throughout the year...hah!

I think the Roca Wear Coats is cool. They have plenty of patterns and designs. The best is their price is reasonable to purchase. When I was in US for business trip, some of my colleagues are wearing the Roca Wear Coats. I find it really turns them into a good looking, stylish and elegant man.

NASCAR

2008-11-20T08:29:00.001+08:00

When I was in Oregon, my friend brings me to his nephew’s house and he is a NASCAR driver. He wins many championship races before. I was so excited about the car. Just imagine that I like a “monkey” that jumped in here and there to take a look at the car. First, I look at the truck. It is so huge. The truck is to carry the NASCAR to the racing spot. Later, I take a look at the NASCAR, the engine, the interior and etc. I took a few shoots of the car and truck. Enjoy!

Diet

2008-11-16T08:47:00.000+08:00

Yesterday (Friday) during the lunch hour, my friends and I, we decided not to go out having our lunch but just dine in at our factory’s cafeteria. And, one amazing thing happens during that lunch hour. We noticed a lady (we are not so familiar with her) she used to be quite fat some time back and now she turns to be so slim! Apparently, a lot of people start gossiping about her and our group did the same thing too...hah!

Some said, she must be taking any Safe Diet Pills to slim down. Or joining any slimming program in slimming center and some even said, maybe she gets sick and that is why she is slimming down so sudden!

But she didn’t see any unhealthy look obviously. So, I think she must be taking up Safe Diet Pills package to slim her body down.

My friends dog

2008-11-16T08:14:00.001+08:00

When I was in the US one month ago, I visited my friend’s house. As usual I "bell-ring" his house and when the door open, I was so shocked and surprised with the BIG dog that running close to me. At first I was so scared but after a while I noticed that this dog actually like to play with people. He also knows how to act if we said “Beng Beng”. He will just lie down to the floor and take his leg up like he gets shoot...hah! Cool right? ^^

Online Shopping

2008-11-16T07:13:00.002+08:00

I found Shogging.com by accidentally. Shogging.com is the Comparison Shopping Websites that I think a very useful one that allow shopper to have the power of making comparison, buying as well as blogging the millions of products that they are looking for.

Why this website with the name of “Shogging”? Well, “Shogging” technology unifies two of the internet’s most popular activities that are shopping and blogging.

But Shogging.com is integrate the shopping and blogging together where there’s a text formatting tools ready in the page to allow shopper to spice up their blog entry related to the product that they bought.

How to start playing golf

2008-11-14T20:21:00.002+08:00

Anyone like to play golf or know how to play golf? Well, my manager likes to play golf very much. Currently in Penang only have BJ Golf club and what I know is the club fees are really expensive. Golf is a royal game as it is a costly game whereby the golf set, ball, golf beg and other accessories are all very expensive. But one good thing of golf is, it is a good exercise game because golfer needs to walk a long distance after one shot. So, the golfer needs a good shoe to protect their foot as they involve a lot of walking.

I get an advice from my friends who played golf often. They said, ones must have a very good skills only can play a good game. Ones must accurately point the ball and hit it otherwise the ball might not “fly” far. A good golf set and training lesson is a must. That’s why you will see a lot of new golfer usually will start playing at the center hall but not to the field because they need to practice on how to “fly” the ball. My friend’s advice that before make up any decision to purchase golf set, it is good to ask around with the experienced personal. Get their information and do not simply buy any cheap brand.

It is good to purchase the brand new golf set that provide a great boost in confidence compared to purchase the second-hand set. You can log on to Ping to select your golf set online. It is a very good website that you can find many choices of golf set. This company is from Germany and they have a very good reputation. The website also provides updated news related scores and players profiles. Their golf club that located at Gut Ising is one of the biggest centers in Bavaria.

Electronic Clock

2008-11-12T20:10:00.002+08:00

When I have my shopping in the US, I saw this clock. In fact, I saw it before in Malaysia some time back but I not really pay attention on it. It is using a stick with few LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) and keeps moving from left to right and vice versa resulting the clock appeared. This clock will also appear some message if we program it. It is so creative and special right?

My favorite food in Penang

2008-11-11T21:54:00.002+08:00

When you come to Penang, make sure you have tasted Penang "Laksa" as it is one of the famous foods in Penang. In Penang, there are many places selling “Laksa” but not all places are good. You may want to try out the stalls behind Sunshine department store called “BB Coffee shop”, Padang or Gurney Drive. I found out that many of foreigners cannot accept the taste of "Laksa" as they said the laska soup is smelly. The laksa soup is made by shrimp sauce that is why they are smelly. But for local people, like me...love it very much. Yummy!

Phone Cards

2008-11-11T08:56:00.002+08:00

Every time when I have business trip to Unite States, I will purchase a prepaid phone card to call back my hometown in Penang, Malaysia. I know I can always talk or web-cam for free with my wife via Skype or MSN, but what if in emergency cases whereby I do not have computer with me! So, to play safe, a prepaid phone card is a MUST to carry along with me everywhere I go.

With using these Malaysia phone cards to call from United States to Malaysia, it is only as low as 0.7 cent per minute! It is really a way to save money and I do not have to worry about the expensive international rates anymore whenever I call back my hometown.

Tricycle

2008-11-10T23:55:00.003+08:00

Home Design

2008-11-10T23:30:00.001+08:00

I have been visiting my friends who stay in Oregon and CA. Recently some of them are actually renovated their house. I’m asking them where they get the idea or they hire some interior designer. What they told me is that they just visiting to websites via internet to get the design layout or idea. Surprisingly, they did the renovation themselves and with such a beautiful layout.

When I’m back to Malaysia, I also try to log on to some websites and found that Schumacher Homes actually provides a good review on house designing and a lot of photos are uploaded in the sites. They even provide a DVD and guidebook so that you have more detail about their company background and profiles.

This is a good website if you are in planning to do any renovation to your house and I’m highly recommended to all my friends.

Kids Today

2008-10-21T08:13:00.000+08:00

Nowadays, can be said mostly all having a computer and internet at home. And from my observation, kids today loves to play online game and chatting with friends online. I think parents should play a very important roles to make sure their kids (those still under age) are not enter to the adult personals sites to learn all those “unnecessary” things. The best is parents should not allow the kids to have his or her own Personals computer located inside their room but to place the computer in living room so that parents can keep an eye on them. What do you think?

Breakfast at US Airport

2008-10-20T22:42:00.001+08:00

Home Sweet Home

2008-10-20T08:11:00.002+08:00

When I was in US, I visited my friend’s house. He is a businessman and he owned a very huge land. Just imagine he can even build his own factory plant in his land besides he has a few houses in that land too. All his houses are “custom home” as he wanted his dream houses all fits to his and his family every way. He offered me a stayed at his guest house for a night. That guest house is even bigger than my house in Penang...hah! And he and his family members is lived in the biggest house that with the Schumacher Homes Louisiana design. Wow, the interior design is really gorgeous. Too bad, I forget to snap any photo to show you all. If next time I got chances to visit him again, I will make sure myself to snap a few photos.

Japanese Drawing

My shopping “kaki” (which is my Penang friend who also has his business trip to US) ask me go for dinner at Portland. It took us about 45 min only reach the restaurant but luckily the sushi was nice and price not too bad. When go to wash room pass by their walkway, I found that they have this beautiful pictures hanging on the wall. Just would like to share with all of you.

Thai Restaurant

2008-10-18T19:56:00.000+08:00

Peanut with noodle.

Penang Curry

Before go back to Malaysia, my shopping “Kaki” ask me go lunch together. This restaurant has very nice environment and statue. I have taken some picture and our food as well. I like the Penang Curry” very much and very delicious. My friend orders the noodle with peanut source. Frankly speaking I actually don’t like to take noodle or rice with peanut butter.

Different Area Code

2008-10-18T01:35:00.001+08:00

The different between USA Phones Numbers and Malaysia Phone numbers are area code and privacy. Malaysia using 2 digits but US used 3 digits. If you call from foreigner country or internet call, their house will not appear phone number and the house owner before pickup your phone the system will ask the house owner to accept the call by identify the caller. The callers have to say their name only system will get thru or pass thru your call to your friends/relative house. How safe it is compare to Malaysia phone service and avoid those spam call. Hope that Malaysia Telekom will implement such a good system.

Ross at Portland

2008-10-17T09:04:00.000+08:00

I’d like to continue talks about my neighbour’s Siamese cat. She told me that she even well-prepared with all those flea control products to get rid of that pesky annoyance, fleas that will cause a health-threatening problem to her beloved cat.

I feel relief after listen to what she said, as least she has the preventative measures taken and hopefully that “unwelcome guests” will not spread to my house one day!

My transportation at US

2008-10-15T23:11:00.001+08:00

Above are my rented cars when I was in US. This round, I've manage to try on 3 types of cars. They are Toyota Corolla (the blue one), Camry (the red one) and Malibu (sorry, forget to snap photo). Petrol consumption for these 3 types of cars was not bad and all the cars came with GPS system. If I did not have car in US, I think I will gone crazy because it is not convenient at all rite, cannot go anywhere without car. And this round, I actually doing a lot of shopping than visiting tourist attraction places.

Burger

2008-10-15T12:14:00.001+08:00

Jac In Box

Do you know what food that taking the first place to enter to my stomach when I'm at US? Ha..ha..ha, the answer is "burger". Normally when we order fast food in Malaysia the counter girl/boy will ask us whether to “having here” or “take away” but in US they use say “ To go” or “For here”. Every week almost 3 days is taking burger when I was in US. No wonder I fat de. US people not called burger but they called it "sandwich". I remembered the first time I'm in US, I called burger a lot of them “blur blur”not sure what I'm talking about. It’s good experience yah!

Poker Chips

2008-10-14T17:32:00.006+08:00

I noticed that the hotels in US usually will place a few casino entry coupons in the room for their guest. I still remembered in year 2005, my wife and I, we get the coupons to redeem the casino t-shirt and mug due to that casino anniversary day.

This round when I was there in US, again my friend and I pay a visit to one of the casino. We travelled about 1 hour to reach the our destination. Well, we both just went there to look around and of course we are not affordable to gamble in US...hah! Wow, the casino is huge and the interior design is so grand, especially the lighting are so wonderful! Too bad we are not allowed to take any pictures in there.

Every time when I’m in the casino, the Poker Chips Set really catches my eyes. I just love the chips design and pattern, logo and the color are really attracting me. Oh yah, In US, children are allows to enter the casino provided they are escorted by parents.
