Final round!

it is just like Taiwanese-dramas, long-windedly and as if never-ending till the finale of story after many many (lost count) episodes. our side 'punya' soap-drama, involving that two post-middle-aged 'taiko' (or big boss!) were fighting for their own agendas...

one got sacked, then reverted and lessen the punishment to suspension, who reluctant to retire from his post.
one got involved in ?corruption(s), and possible is facing some political pressure from others... who stood firm on his words and actions, but speaking too loud.

who is going to stay???

my prediction, the latter will stay and win this battle (but not gracefully), then will announce stepping down later (after many many months). the former, back to square one by not gaining or losing anything.

we shall see...

Final round, FIGHT!!!

New toy...

frankly, i seldom play with my camera. all the camera equipments are just stored nicely inside the drybox, sitting there quietly for display only. how leh??? my 48-liter dehumidifier box is running out of space, lenses and other stuffs are keeping on growing in numbers. but i have no time even polishing them, playing with them and molesting them.

out of no where, i saw this gem in the used market!
it is a Nikon FM3a, a legendary film based (old school) camera.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


bah!!! without second thought i met the seller and get my hand onto this old, antic but mint beast.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


the damage, it cost me few hundreds Ringgit! me, i feel it was a good bargain. secretly telling you, it is actually cost more than a thousand plus at current market. furthermore, this is so mint, and it is fully functional!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


it is coupled with a lens, an old 'ais' type. by looking at its superficial, i believe that lens is older than me, and it got suffered from 'Gulf war' or something similar. who cares about its cosmetic... hey, it is clean and fungus-free inside. more importantly it is still alive and kicking, fully functional. IT IS FREE!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


WAHLAAH!!! it is just like a new camera. kilat, kilat... (shinning!) licin, licin... (smooth!) and so clean!

i just can't wait to run films onto it.
wait lah, im going to get the films soon!

1Malaysia vs 15Malaysia(s)

its so quiet lately.
there are so little flags flying out there, no major event or celebration or fireworks is going to happen on the eve, and i really miss the meaningful advertisements from TV for Merdeka.

we have,
a brand new concept of 1Malaysia with only 40minutes parade during the Merdeka day, reason being H1N1 crisis and the financial crisis resulted from the global economy recession complicated by the H1N1 crisis.
15 shot movies from our 15 local-made directors with 15 different Malaysia's stories. all, a brand-new concept of addressing Malaysia cultures in a more comedy, hilarious method.

a quiet Merdeka Day.
only can get good laughs from the 15Malaysia short movies.

'Un'fatal accident

i met an accident!

how come?
actually hor, that time was after rain and the road condition was slippery. so fortunate that the front car decided to hit on emergency break at the fast land. i was just 20 meters behind it at the speed around 60 km/h. of course lah, i 'tekan' the break 'kaw kaw'.

ehhh, how come my car was moving still??? my right leg was pressing so hard on the break pedal, correctly. my car skidded and 'gracefully' KISSED the front counterpart.

BANG!


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

see! the front part is gone. the front bumper, grills, both lamps, and the bonnet are damaged.


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

so fortunate, i'm still alive.
we have to think positive what!!!


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

and the car lamps are so old already, showing all the aging marks with yellowish discolouration. this time is just giving me great opportunity to change them. get my car a brand-new look, still in black colour of course!

something like, it is fortunate in an unfortunate event...

Lata Kinjang

Ehhhemmmm, i went to Lata Kinjang yesterday.


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

it is located somewhere near Tapah, Perak. about 12km from Tapah town, another 15km from the PLUS highway Tapah exit point. if you wish to get to this place, don't worry as there are plenty of clearly stated signboards pointing to the destination.

i paid only RM1.00 for the entry to park my car, and 'wow' factors are just inside the jungle. crystal clear and super chilling water, nature sounds surrounding the area, the 'Qi' generated from the waterfall; all these are just perfectly matched. a place to run away from work and stress....

haha! i will be back... soon.

Missing in action...

Aiyooo... i have been missing in action for quite awhile. no news and updated photo about my little prince, no 3rd swimming lesson for him, just so quiet over here.

wooooo... hooo... anyone there???

ok.
i was busy with my work for the past few days. oncall lah, doing locum in clinic lah, sleep lah... i just felt like my biological clock turned up-side-down. i was like a walking-zombie, with noticeable panda-eyes and always-tired-look.

after sometime, i felt it is enough. i need a rest...
i need to recharge myself...

My BolehBoy - Swimming lesson 2

Yesterday...

i decided to give my BolehBoy another swimming lesson, and my BolehMother was on evening shift. hah! this time no one was able to stop me putting my little one into the pool liao... woakakaka!!!

After my little prince's first attempt, many people inquired about this swimming pool. where to buy lah? how to buy lah? how much lah? how big lah? blah, blah, blahhhh...

actually hor...
this whole package comes with the inflatable pool itself, electric pump, manual pump (as spare one, if no electricity), star-shaped float for baby, and toy ducklings (as souvenir, i think). as a starter kit, it contains all the necessary equipments for user to start using it right away.

after unpacking the box, the inflatable pool's size is about a normal study table, measuring around one and a half meter long and a meter wide. hmmm, it should fit inside a ordinary-sized toilet. me, i just put it outside the toilet. easy to fill and drain water, and more space for me to run around.


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

after filling up with water, at about three quarters full, and mixing with hot water, it is ready for my little one to swim. big enough, if you are not-so-big in size, you can even join you baby inside the pool. but not me, i got to run around taking my BolehBoy's picture...
hey, did you notice my colourful ducklings? i got them from Jusco.


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

ehh! how come my BolehBoy still biting his pacifier... but he enjoyed so much with his swimming lesson.


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

10 minutes is just enough for him. but it takes around 45 minutes to prepare it, and it is still worth to put all the effort. so fun to see him playing inside, and his safety is assured.

a few useful tips to share with everyone... just keep the pool inflated while drying it, it is faster to get dried completely before keeping it. since the package comes with the electric pump, use this pump to suck out all air when deflating it. try to make it as if vacuum for easier storage, you have to manipulate a bit with the pump when deflating. it takes one minute to inflate, and another minute to deflate, so fast right!

i am a happy user of the swimming pool, why not joining me getting this for your love one... for more information about this pool, check out from this website. happy shopping...

My BolehBoy - First swimming

Last sunday,

"Dear, i want my BolehBoy to have his first swimming lesson today."
"hah!, he is so young and small in size. how can ah???" BolehMother replied.
"i got all the stuffs already, i don't care. he is going in water today!"

well, i just went to unpack the inflatable swimming pool, boiled water, filled up the pool, prepared all the stuffs. ting.. ting.. tang.. tang... that all took me about 45 minutes to prepare.

done, i undressed my BolehBoy. Fixed him with the star-shaped float....



TA DAHH!!!!


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

he got into the pool.
at first, he was a bit confusing. in a new environment mah! after he got used with the water temperature, he started to kick around.

ok, he was swimming in naked. initially i was thinking to put on something, just to cover or 'protect' that something-down-there. but... what to wear ah??? got the super-extra-tiny-small swimsuit for him meh!!!


WARNING, some nudity.
boys and girls, please don't scroll down further if you can't take it... hehehe!


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

this BolehBoy boy was trying to kick and move around the pool. but hor, i can't stop looking at his 'something-down-there'. too obvious and too distracting lar...
woahahahaaaa..


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

after 10 minutes, he got tired already. and again, that 'something-down-there' is distracting me!!!


feeling so satisfied, finally my BolehBoy can 'swim' already... ohh! back to BolehMother, she was watching me with some kind of look throughout the swimming lesson. angry with me? no lar, i think she just wanted to kick me into the pool only...

woahahahaha

My BolehBoy - Feet

My BolehBoy and his BolehMummy are staying far from me. well, im just a weekend-husband, and occasionally turn up on some weekdays too. as for this week his BolehMummy is working on night shift, its my turn for taking the full responsibility of taking care this BolehBoy.

it is like on-call, this BolehBoy will be my only 'patient' to take care. preparing his milk, changing his diapers, padding his back after meal... i can handle them, woahahaha!!!


how come so little of my BolehBoy's picture? i decided to have series of his anatomical parts, to have a documentation about the progression of his growth. hmmmm, let me start with his feet!

My BolehBoy

after missing for quite some time, submersing myself deep under, slowly with its pace enjoying my BolehBoy growing bigger and stronger. hah! my BolehBoy is already more than 2 months old.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


still, he likes to sleep...
his usual, daily routines will be sleeping, crying, then drinking milk, sleep again and again... he is much sensitive and aware of his surrounding now, he likes to explore the different sounds and colours. when he sleeps, however he is so insensitive to the surrounding. loud musics, busy traffics, 'ting' 'tang' here and there, he is so immune to them and he will continue his sleep.

my BolehBoy, is sleeping...

Lost in Translation

Not long ago, many people were discussing about the topic, teaching science and mathematics in English or 'Bahasa'.

huge argument in between these two schools, some said teaching in English will prepare the youngsters for a brighter future. more up-to-date it seems, and able to speak in a much proper English than current 'Manglish'... other said, we have to hold on with our culture, from old days, ancestor-age 'Bahasa' to cultivate the youngsters to be a proud Malaysian! will it work? i don't think so lor...

for sure, most of the information and data are collected in English. if we insist to change all English to 'Bahasa', try this....



Hardware = barang keras

Software = barang lembut

Joystick = batang gembira

Plug and Play = cucuk dan main

Port = lubang

Server = pelayan

Client = pelanggan

Try to translate this:

ENGLISH:
That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client.

Now in BAHASA:
Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu akan dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.


so,
what do you think?

i will rather keep in English, than being laugh by others.
shame, shame...

My son is One Month old now!

After 30 days, my BolehBoy celebrated his full-moon on last Friday. 30 days of taking breast milk, 30 days of home curfew, 30 days of sleep-crying-drinking milk cycles, he overcame all these uneventfully.

after 30 days,
he got his first hair-cutting at one of the indian barber shops...
he got his first taste in a cozy stroller...
he went out with Mr and Mrs Boleh-man, making them so clumsy changing diapers and feeding him outside...
he is still kicking, and crying even louder now...
he is 1.04kg heavier than before...
and he is drinking more milk, with 4 ounces every 3 hourly!


It is so fun being a FATHER....

黃臉婆

I never write in Chinese language, but...
i find this story is very useful, very meaningful, especially for guys, like me!


有個朋友告訴我這故事 -- 他說 ...

每天我都在辦公室看到她,這個女同事精明幹練穿著簡單不落俗套,她的五官不美麗,卻有著自信般的神情,眼神散發著利落的光芒。 我每天看到神采飛揚的她,就不自主的被她的氣息所感染,便自然而然的也提起幹勁來。

每天,在辦公室的時間,是我最神采奕奕的時間。 因為她!只要看到她在。我的心便為之振奮。

幾年下來,我覺得,我的心已經被她所征服了!
我自己也不知道,我是被她的什麼條件所吸引…
我就是好喜愛好沉迷於看著她,我也不知道我是不是愛上她 我就是.... 我就是不知道如何自主的不去把眼光放在她身上,可是她卻不知道!

每天每天,都有著一個男同事,隔著幾張辦公桌,靜靜的、偷偷的,緊張的看著她!
相對的,每天下班回家的時候,我都非常的猶豫是不是要走進那家門。當我的手握在我家門的門把上時,我都有股衝動要轉身離開。


因為,門還沒有打開,我就可以聽到一陣聲音,這樣吼著:
" 阿明!!叫你把電視關了!!
爸爸已經要下班回家了!!!
你還在玩電動!!!
你還不去看看弟弟奶奶喝完沒有!!!
在那幹麻啦!!!!
還坐那跟石頭一樣!!!
你是沒有聽到我在說啥阿 !!!
再給我唸一次你就好看!!
屁股馬上給我離開那椅墊!!!!!!!"


是的!她是我老婆,那石頭是我大兒子,那喝奶的是我小兒子。

吃晚飯的時候,我都要面對這張面孔,松垮垮的家居服,用鯊魚夾夾在後腦杓的頭髮,額頭耳旁掉著凌亂的散髮,兩顆無神的大眼睛看著我,一張停不下來的大嘴叫喊著我兒子!
雙手還要不時的擺動,來襯托與誇張她那大嘴說出來的言詞!
抱怨著今天大明如何的不乖,小寶寶如何的吐奶哭鬧;有時,真希望可以24小時的加班,當然是她也一起!那對我真是一種享受....
一種夢想阿!!

這天,星期天早上;我出門散步,順便到附近的商店買早餐。可是,不自覺下,我居然散步散到這女同事家附近,
天阿...當我回過神來,我才知道我居然走到這來。我心想,我的下意識裡居然是如此的希望接近她!
今天不說更待何時!我毅然決定要像她表白我的心意!!
即便是我已經結婚有家室…

我希望由暗戀,可以提升為任何更高層次的關係!!

於是,我找了附近的一個公用電話,撥了通電話到她家…

喂~的一聲!

是她接的,我馬上掛了電話,這證明了她在家,太好了!!
我便豪不猶豫的提起步伐往她的公寓走,上了三樓她家,提起我當初娶我老婆的勇氣,我按了她門鈴…

來開門的!是一個掛著散亂頭髮,上身只穿了件小可愛,下半身一件小花花短褲,脖子上掛著一條發黃的圍裙,一隻手抓著鍋鏟,另一隻手還在那發黃的圍裙上擦拭…

她看了我一眼,顯然沒有認出我是誰!便馬上又回頭看著屋內吼了出來!
" 小明 !!!
你完蛋了!!
一早起來就給我開卡通!!
你刷牙洗臉沒有!!!
去叫爸爸跟姊姊起來刷牙洗臉了!!
你娘我在煎個蛋就可以吃早餐了!!!"

她順手把門關上,留著在杵在那張大眼睛的看我站在門外,我還聽得到她在叫喊著:
" 大清早的就有推銷員來!!
有沒有搞錯阿!!!!........"


故事到此…


我當下頓悟,原來,我所崇拜欣賞的,竟也是另外一個男人的黃臉婆!!
那… 你在看哪個男人的黃臉婆呢??...


WOAHAHAHAHAAAAAH!

RM5000

I have a story...


there is this Cina guy, Ah Song (i like this name... hehe), stays in a small small 'kampung' area. he earns on average RM1000 only a month. few months back he spent RM3000 of his hard-earn money, and bought himself a 'kapcai' car.

then few months later, our beloved government decided to give 'incentive' to the old-car owners. a rebate of RM5000 for getting a new car. wah lau eh! but with conditions, someone needs to own that car for more than 6 months and only applicable to buy either 'Perotong' or the 'Perodua' cars. bang!!!

so happy, this Ah Song finally ditched the old car and getting himself a new one. hmmmm, the cheapest one among these two brands is only the little 'Kancil'. this little one also cost more than RM25,000 on the road. to make it round figure, after minus the rebate he still need to fork out RM20K for this new car.

problems come. he needs to pay the down payment first, RM2000. he needs to find mony. then the balance he needs bank loan. at this moment, it is not easy to get bank loan. red-tapes, they will request a lot of documents from the potential customers. not that they don't want business, it is just that... this poor guy just have RM1000 monthly only.

lets say this poor guy has no other commitment, he has no other loans. still the bank will ask for a guarantor as this poor guy is a first-timer. the banks will look at the payment profile if someone got previously applying for loan.

facing all these troubles, this Ah Song became 'beh song' - not happy. just for that RM5000 rebate, he got all these problems. furthermore, he needs to pay his monthly instalment of don't know how much for enjoying his little new 'Kancil'.

worth it or not?



i don't think so, loh!

REMEMBER 308!

1. after 308 incident, people have had decided their choice. the so-called opposition coalition gains control over five states, namely state of Kelantan, Perak, Penang, Kedah and Selangor, and occupying more than one third in the Parliament. switching of power in certain states, are generally welcome in their respective states. others, still the same.

2. it is a wake-up call for those in power, people are yearning for a CHANGE! people wish to see 'some', not many, improvements from the administration and benefits to 'rakyat' directly. someone up there, has been too long in power, should have given way and some opportunity to the younger generation.

3. people are becoming more and more alert, and sensitive to the current political situation. people are no more relying totally on to the government-controlled media, more and more under-the-desk stories are discovered from everywhere. people are getting 'cleverer' to search for the truthfully true stories...

4. WE WANT A CHANGE, but people do not want to have a fragile government! someone up there, so unaware of current state, letting the left and right men giving all the untrue statements. like a bamboo without backbone, swinging side to side.

5. people have chosen their preferred candidates of representative in state and parliament, and the decision was also made because of the represented coalition parties. people do not like FROGS, hoping from one party to another political party.

6. people hope the someone up there, should learn from the mistakes. not to point finger now, stating who's right or wrong, promoting self the genius one! stop shouting, people want to see the 'Yang Berkerja' YBs...

7. people have been yearning for good governance and efficient public delivery. someone so clever to announce some big agenda to test the market one fine day. after uproar from the 'rakyat', someone more genius one decided to have a U-turn. what for? for fun is it!!!

8. people's message to someone up there, support for YOU has been eroding simply because YOU have failed to live up to these escalating expectations.

sad...

AIYOYOOUUURRRR!!!

our poor Malaysia citizens have been fooled around lately.

few days back, someone 'the genius one' from the somewhere lah just announced another toll price hike over the five major expressways, mainly at the Klang Valleys. someone's there were so smart and reasoned out 'it's just a minor adjustment, most also at 50 cents only and 5% increment over the North-South expressway...'. after all, we still need to pay compensations or fines to the companies as it (the toll price increment) was delayed for more than a year.

after one day.

someone, 'more genius one' made a massive U-TURN! announcing to delay its decision regarding the toll price increment till year end. after hearing, and concerning about 'rakyat's current situation, it will be just fine for the government to pay the compensations to the companies.

happy now???


hey, don't get fooled over here!

we, the poor Malaysian citizens, is losing in this game no matter what!
whatever decision made by 'the genius one', the compensations still needed to pay the companies. where are the money from to pay these compensations? truthfully, it is still 'rakyat's money. every single cent, and ringgit from our hard-earn money, is going to 'feed' these companies.

don't you see it now?

what can we do now? nothing, and we can just follow the flow of the stream. slowly, to adapt to the current situation. helplessly, do nothing and hope for something... the fact is, the genius one will remains genius.

aiyok!
i got a slap!!!

I like...

form my school days, long long time ago, i like to read newspaper. without fail, i will read from the front page stories to the last page, everyday. from the hot topics, to editorial reviews, celebrities scandals, sport news, to business and stock reviews, i like them all.

i paid RM0.80 only last time to RM1.20 - RM1.50 now. almost double the cost, will not stopping me from getting them. at least two daily, Chinese and English version each. spending almost an hour a day reading them, still i don't think i manage to digest every single issue inside it. so committed, and it is far more motivated than reading educational materials.

nowadays, i like to go to my hospital's library. it provides me daily 'supplements', i can read all three major languages' newspapers at one time. even the librarian was asking why don't i buy newspapers myself? jokingly, she is bored of seeing me everyday in the library. the librarian even had to stay overtime sometimes for letting me reading the newspapers. my answer, it's FREE of charge mah there!

even we have internet now, there are plenty of updated news and open resources online. still, i like the paper, as in paper'ish' feeling. i like to hold it, flip it, and feel it.

eh, it sounds like i'm insane??? gila???
no lah! don't get me wrong...

studies showed at different age group will have special interest at the reading newspapers habit. at 10 - 20 years old group, most people will start reading at the entertainment or celebrities scandals first. at 20 - 30 years of age, they start to like the front stories, the hot topics of the day. at 30 - 40 years of age, people will prefer at the business section. at 40 - 50 years old pulak, they will start reading at second section or something about lifestyle. for 50 years old and above, they will start at editorial reviews or whatever reviews...

which part of the newspaper you will start reading first?
me, from the front page... eh, it means i'm at the correct age group.

woahahahaaa!!!


i like to read newspaper... i must read newspaper... i can't live without newspaper...

i'm addicted!

many don't understand, neither i am, why do the rich people are getting richer? what do they have, any special ability, that we all are lacking of? we, the poorer category, need to work for hours, saving every cents, just for that little income! why???

how to be a millionaire?

eh... i have a simple formula here. if you start saving RM1400 every month in to the fixed deposit account, with the annual interest of 5%, after 40 years, your accumulated saving will be RM1400 X (1 + 5%) X 40 = RM 169,000.00 that's it.

but,

if you invest into any of the potential investments, like share market, properties... with the same amount, the return will be around 20% annually. after the same period, how much do you think you will get? the answer is, you are a millionaire! or a billionaire!


from this story, someone needs to be more flexible, and able to accommodate in any situation to invest. everyone must learn how to invest, no matter what, either as a conservative type or an aggressive one. how to manage your resources, this is the key point of success...

as Malay proverb says, "sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi bukit... EMAS!"
YOU must start now!

"Doctor, please let me die..."

few days ago i was called to attend a case at the casualty department. a 60-year-old Chinese guy was gasping for air, he looked so hard to take every breathe. of his limitation of breathing, he was still trying so hard to talk to me.

"doctor, i need water..."
"doctor, i am very hungry..."

after making fast examination, i called upon his family members for further information of his previous condition. aiyaaa, he has been such for very very long time. and he got admitted to few hospitals for similar presentation, he got collapse a few times also.

he has very severe lung problem, in short at terminal stage.

the patient already knew his condition. after few episode of miracles, revived after collapse. he has lose the hope. with his last few breathe, he told me...

"doctor, please let me die..."

sad to say this. and his only daughter was sobbing to see his condition. so unwillingly to accept the option, yet so sorry to see his worsening condition.
they agreed for not active management on him, they opted not for intubation, nor performing CPR on him.

on the next day, he finally took his last breathe. a peaceful ending for him, freedom from his torment, a solution to his family members.

sad...
