A New Journey Has Just Begun

Here I am in Miri, and doing fine since I have been researching about the place through miricommunity forum. It takes two flight from Penang to Miri and finally I have arrived at 3.30pm. Was greeted by Augustus from Crown Relocation who also sent me to Imperial Hotel. Ah, now I have the one month long hotel stay. Darn it, the agent claimed that many of those like me chose Marriot Hotel instead. But my room is not bad, it's a big suite, with a small living hall, pantry, a separated bedroom and a washing machine. Now I don't have to send my clothes somewhere for laundry. Connecting the hotel is the Imperial Mall. It's a pretty small mall, so I managed to venture the whole mall in less then 1 hour, with essentials bought. Had my dinner at Ming Cafe. Serve non halal asian food. Price wise, very KL like but tasted different but not bad. Maybe I was still full. Or maybe something different in terms of cooking style or the rice used.... or i was just too fussy!

Why I Won't Consider a Korean Car?

Sorry if i am stereotyping, but after having driven a relative's car, a Hyundai Sonata 2.0 (A) for some time, I have come to a conclusion:- won't be tempted by cheaper koreans.... err korean cars. 1. It is not a new car anymore but I particularly hate the crashing sound of the dashboard everytime i go through some minor road undulations. Even a similarly aged Proton Wira does not produce such pronounced effect. 2. I don't know about their current offerings but that car has terrible build quality. I must admit that the car has some soft touch panels that are nice but they are terribly fitted together. 3. Fuel consumption is quite high. I think I should not be the only one complaining. Ask some Hyundai owners and most probably they'll tell you the same. 4. Seats are not supportive. Your butt may slide away from turning direction if you make it hard, thanks to super slippery, flat leather seats. Your butt keeps moving but the seat belts forcing your chest to stay.... maybe...

Acer Aspire One D250b

Introducing my new computing device, Acer Aspire One netbook. I have been using my Compaq Presario laptop for a while now and it's time to change to something lighter so I can carry it around whenever I travel. Specification speaking, it is not as powerful as my good ol' compaq. What do you say to Intel Atom 1.6Ghz vs Core 2 duo 1.6Ghz? Lousy maybe but this netbook costs twice cheaper than the compaq that I've bought 4 years back. This Acer is upgraded to 2 GB Ram but still, I can feel slight lagginess whenever I run Media player, Chrome, Messenger and Words. Netbook is capable of playing some online mmorpg games. Tried SuddenAttack and suprisingly, it is still smooth but 10.0" screen will demotivate your eyes to focus on the tiny crosshair. lol Netbook is quite fantastic if you are a 24hrs downloader. It generates very little heat compared to my compaq, which I need a cooler otherwise it will auto shutdown. It's also very gentle on electricity comsumption. What el...

Moquito Art

How to make one? Let a mosquito suck your blood till it can't take it no more. Next patiently wait for the lazy ass mosquito to land on the floor. Get a cane, aim precisely and hit on the moquito. Splatz... There you go... Bloody hell...

St Anne's Day

St. Anne's Church St Anne's Church appears to be the greatest landmark of Bukit Mertajam. If I am not wrong, they are one of the earliest church in Penang and also the biggest up to date. Busses for visitors all over Malaysia St. Anne's Day celebration is held annually around this time. Apology for not knowing the exact date but you can see from the road traffic around the church, very obvious. Parking sibeh full, even at the back of I am actually practising Buddhism and the likes (ie. whichever that requires joss sticks..lolz) but I'm quite liberal in religious views. So I've been to and prayed in churches (actually, St. Anne's is my only so far), Indian Temples, Burmese Temples etc. Well, I don't foresee any problem as there has no any 'clash of titans' that I have experienced so far... In fact, I'm not the only one there with such view. There are quite some visitor who held their lit candles but treated them like joss- stick. I believe praying...

Click

3 years ago, I bought a DVD (ehem ehem 1 of course) title Click starring Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. Turned it on and off it back after 20 minutes as I found the movie to be quite stupid. How could someone make a movie based on a stupid remote control that can control life?! Yesterday night, out of boredom, I turned on the TV and Click was aired on a local channel. Since there was nothing to do, I watched along. Suprisingly, it turned out to be rather interesting and I watched till the end. Kate was demure..... So that was all about the movie. Actually I have deduced something. Don't be a workaholic and screw up your life by working all day and night long, 365. Here I come, slackers!
