Smile.. You're on MY camera!!

17th June 2007,

Since I've gotten the new camera, I've decided to be a little nosy reporter and stick my nose into anything that well, catches my eye. This time I've gotten quite a few pictures , don't worry I try not to breach any laws that breaches one's privacy.

Anyway this is a picture I've taken on the irresponsibility of certain contractors that was doing the upgrading works on the overhead flyover which starts from Tampoi to Skudai. This picture however is taken at a junction heading to Taman Perling and Kip Mart Tampoi. See how the tyre tracks of JCB cuts the water flow of the already clogged up drain.. Opps.. I forgot to tell you that it was my dad that took the picture.. hehehehe..

This another picture was of me fooling around at 2am during my RF installation at Far East Shopping Center. Mental Note: One should always goof around to stop Mr. Sandman

By the way I think I should share this little particular "public" toilet with the public.. If you take a good look at it carefully, you'd realise that the make-shift toilet is made a few meters away from the main highway heading to the City from Skudai. I'd suggest you don't ride a bike during the rainy days as their sanitation isn't passable. You'd not wanna know what floats around.. hehehe (get my drift?)

See the new stuffs..

New stuffs I have for myself and my weird sense of humour.

I got a new 7.1MG pixel digital Rollei Brand at a price of $250.00 along with 1Gb of SanDisk memory card. I wasn't quite happy with the deal cuz I know I should have haggled more but what I can I do.. its paid and done for.. here's the pic of it though:






I also managed to stupidly saw my finger but luckily only the flesh that was sawn off, not my finger... hehehe.. Thanks to the make-do eletrical black pvc tape, my finger was saved (there wasn't a handi-plast). I was suppose to just saw a small hole in the false ceiling to make access during my running of 7/8 RF feeder cable but then I got unlucky. I got the pic of my dried encrusted finger.. Yeah I know I'm acting like a sadistic maniac.. hehehe..





Also did RF installation at Far East Shopping Center. I didn't know they had a Scotts Bar there and it was pretty fun hearing and watching them be at "home" during the happy hours. (I had to do night duty Darls)

Ye Savvy?

Other than the great acting of Johnny Depp a.k.a Captain Jack Sparrow, the new Pirates of the Carribean, At World's End is a total stomach blaster.

I finally managed to get out of my death hole and dragged my younger brother, ring up the fuel and drove off to the movies. The long que at Cathay Cinema in City Square Johor didn't deter me from getting my prey, Johnny Depp's slurry words. Unfortunately, I was a little late in my bookings and I somehow got hauled up in the front seats... hehehe

The story started with shackled prisoners, pirates and their families I guess, marching down to the gallows with a boy starting the anthem of the pirates. Who would have thought, pirates having a national anthem? Ingeniously funny!

So anyway I got a good glimpse of what my country looks like during the Lanun Era (Pirates Era) and mind you, it doesn't look abit like Singapore or Temasek as what it should have been named at that time. It looks just like a picture taken from China and the River Market in Thailand. But then I wasn't born during that time, so I'll just have to close my eyes.

I totally love the way Johnny Depp handles his part especially when he was talking (arguing) with his good and bad conscience, but it seems the good one doesn't have any good points other than pointing out Jack will be having tentacles face should he continue on his conquest in being the Flying Dutch Man's captain.

In this part of the movie, lots of questions that was raised in the previous movies like, "Wassup with the Jack's compass and that guy's eye?" will be answered.

The action and fighting scene is a must watch especially when it complements perfectly with the suspense yet hilarious plot. I'm not going to bubble out the whole story so you guys will just have to march down to the cinemas and que like the rest of Pirates of the Carribean fans.

Another boring day..

20th May 2007,



Another boring Sunday and tomorrow is going to be another day at work. Argh! I need a longer holiday. My paper work is still not yet completed and there is still a thick stack lying in my dusty corner but it has at least dropped a few cm.. hehehe..



I got a new handphone, K610im, SonyEricsson. Its an Ok phone, easy to handle and manuever around, nothing hightech like Nokia 6680 where you can find Microsoft Office at your fingertips. I was expecting something with all those techie software and some mumbo jumbo games but I was disappointed with only 2 games that bore my brain to death. The camera is not equiped with a zoom in lens but its 2MG makes up for the loss.

The small numpad is an irritant to people like me, whose fingers are just not meant for small keypads. My fingers keep pressing the wrong pads almost everytime I sms. But overall the handphone is good for those who hates complexity of the tech world. And since I only need to use my handphone for picture taking and basic telephone calls and sms, the phone is OK to me.

I haven't try the video call... still looking for my frens who have 3G compatible phone. Til then, I shall update the rest of the phone uses on the next blog entry.

Argh hell..

14th May 2007,

Supposedly today was gonna be a good day. What the hell happen to Mr Sunshine smiling down at us? It seems that everything seems to go awry. Just like a grapevine..

All materials have been carefully ticked and loaded (first time no problem). Then!!! My irresponsible worker began to pull the hide and seek game. He was supposed to collect material from Level 20 which is only 5mins ride down the elevator but he came back down in 1hrs time. Shit isn't it? He's totally getting hell from me if he ever pulls that lame trick again.

Then went to meeting only to get the pits of hell from my customer. Another bull shit on me and no Mr Sunshine.

But that was after the idiot of a jerk who slammed into my face (DiD I tell you I GoT a split LiP for it?!!) complained to my worker how irresponsible I was to my worker for dirtying HIS Security Jacket.

Bastard.

I should have added blue ink pigments into the concrete drilled dust before it poured onto him. Asshole. Not even an apology for even slamming into my face.

Everything is not going as plan... ugh.. so hating Mr Sunshine now.. Traitorous Sunshine.

Where have all the good men gone?

The world is getting more modernised as the days go by. Even up to finding your perfect match with that "X" factor is modernised. But unfortunately with all the techs ever revolutionising, all the great guys are either taken or just simply gay which totally inconvenience me and perhaps most women.

Its so difficult to find the right person that doesn't bore us to death after we 20yrs of matrimony. To find that one lifemate, some people has resorted to online dating. By posting oneself on the net, it has shorten the time to sort out the needle in the haystack.

Anyway, JustSayHi.com is a free online dating system which doesn't burn a hole in your pocket when you have finally had enough of being ditched by the opposite sex. The registration is pretty simple and it takes only 5mins of your time to figure out what incredible stuff you wanna describe about yourself and your ideal perfect match. After that you can just wait for the love mails or if your the brave type, send out your own introductory mail to the thousands of subscribers in the network. Or you can just filter them via the continent their in.

Yes, thousands of subscribers. So have fun surfing the pages of members info and good luck!

Drug Rehab

For those who are finding ways and means of treating their intense cravings for drugs and alcoholism, which of course will greatly affect your internal organs, this place will help you.

The Drug Rehab center doesn't look like those ugly 4 by 6 cell that authorities usually throw abusers into. Instead the place looks more of a Health Farm with all the fascilities (sofas, TV, spa) to make the patients feel more at home while help is being given to them.

There are a total of 8 programs that varies from Drug Rehab program to those who have difficulty in kicking that bottle of Alcohol. With regards to the successful articles written by the ex-drug abusers, I'd say the center really works.

For more info, kindly visit their page : drug rehab

Row, row ya boat down e big big drain..

8th April 2007,

As if my current headaches not enough I'm now being plagued by another huge wave of headaches, Chicken Pox. "Thanks" to my younger brother I'm now officially infected by the disease. Why in the world all the weird dieases named after the Fowl family, I have no idea.

Two weeks MC and more headache for me... I got 3 site installations next week damn it and I'm worrying over it. If my workers know which connection to run the equipment smoothly I got no problem, but I'm the engineer here and unfortunately my workers is not up to that theory standard yet... die man...

Ugh.. torn between work and pure bliss of two weeks holiday... Choices? Tough choice!! If I can find a way to sneak out of my house and install the equipment without being caught... haiz.. What to do.. what to do? My men needs me!! But my doctor is screaming at me..

Anyway I've loaded up pics that I have taken a few days ago with my friend. Pardon our tired and dishelved looks.. we had 6hrs of pure work before finally taking a rest (3 meetings, 1 site installation) and we didn't even have any meals before the picture taking.

Great thanks and appreciation to my friend who has given me free ride to my meetings. Without him I'd be totally lost and forever late for my meetings. Love you Din!! Thanks So Much!

I look soooo old compared to him.. haiz..

Not bothering

30th March 2007,

Some might have wondered where have Gaya swallowed me. Do not fear!! Zackire is still here! (yeah I know it sounds korny.. )

Actually internet is down and my job has been like almost 20hrs shift everyday, which is a big NO-NO to me. My body resistance has finally had enough and decided to take a break by giving me a hell off of a gutting, you'd not wanna know and I'm diagnosed as suffering from Acute Gastric, I think that's what was written on my MC slip.. doctors... you never know what they're scribbling anyway.

Still thinking of ways to cheat a few free time into my shift and its not working.. (>_<)"

Haiz.. need I say more?

A different point of View

18th March 2007,


I'm supposed to post this and share the little real life joke of a Malaysian's view on the so called, "Armani-wearing-shirts" Singaporeans.

The little newspaper clippings was taken from News Straits Times Singapore, 14th March 2007. Its a real eye opener for those Singaporeans who just can't stop to sprout out "Singapore good at this-, Singapore good at that-" and so on..

When I read the little clipping, I was laughing from the start to the end and boy was it a stomach excercise. No doubt I'm a Singaporean that resides in Malaysia, I totally agree with the writer when it comes to Singaporean becoming an ugly one eyed monsters when they visit Malaysia with its big eye focusing on the smallest mistake of the Republic's neighbour.

Once again, Singaporean can be a real pain in the ass when they think they are the superior lot (like hell we are! ahaha...) even I sometimes I wish I could just have a hammer and ram my friends' head in whenever they visited me in Johor. Ugh! So embarassing to call them my countrymen.

Perhaps the government should do some campaign in brainwashing this "Armani-wearing-shirts" Singaporean about being humble and to just swallow any complains when they are not in Singapore.

What do you think?

Where have all the manners gone?

12th March 2007

Down the drain, that is what I'm viewing. Singaporeans used to be very polite and well mannered but after my everyday trips going in and out of my country, Singapore, I'd say we have one of the rudest security personnels around.

We, the commuters, understand the responsibility the security personnels have to carry especially in the wee morning of 6-8am, making sure everything goes on smoothly and the country terrorist free. We also understand that they may be very tired since they have to scan everyone's items and vehicles and you have our sympathy when we see the personnels cutting half their life span away by breathing in the Carbon Monoxide gases caused by congested vehicles. Your service is greatly appreciated.

But that doesn't mean you can treat us like a pack of cattles every morning and raising your voice at us in your attempt to get the instruction through the crowd. Heck, we are human beings, adult working human beings who still pay taxes, not some highschool kids.

We, the commuters, wake up around 4am (we reach home from work at 9pm), some even earlier, in the morning braving through the heavily congested and unpredictable road traffics in Johor to Singapore in hopes to reach our workplace smoothly and if possible, happily. So I certainly do not like to be rudely treated like an idiot, with the officers at the scanning machine to raise their eyebrows at me with a sleepy and irritated look only to point to their fellow colleague that my bag needs to be check throughly due to my mobile office, my Toshiba laptop.

If there is a need to check my bag, at the very least tell it to my face with a forced smile, I wouldn't mind (we all understand they are tired). But to be treated so rudely... well that really can blow my fuse. A smile, that's all I'm asking! Is it too much to ask??

Then there were a few times when I saw a fellow Malaysian being rudely instructed a few times(screaming from the control panel, mind you) to re-insert his Access Card into the machine. Then there was a time when I was at MOM Temporary Job Placement (kim seng rd), to accompany my friend to apply for a foreign worker. I was squatting outside the room since all the seats were full (I know its considered rude for women to squat but what the heck, I'm tired) and a security guard came to rudely chase all the loitering foreign workers away. I think he has mistaken me as a Filipino since he was shouting in that arrogant voice for me to not squat there and to go inside the receptionist area to wait for my turn.

That really blew my fuse. I told the guard off. I respect that he's doing his job but don't treat us (me and the foreign workers) like dirt. What happen to the courtesy campaign that Singapore government had spend on last time?

What? Just because these people are foreign workers, most Singaporeans think lowly of them? Sheesh! Open up your eyes, they are still human!

I really hope that this situation doesn't worsen. I don't wanna think of the blow it will cause on my country just because of these really bad eggs.

A smile.. It just takes a smile, not your money!

Oh yeah.. I'm working on the trackbacks that my bro is currently fiddling with. He's free, I'm not so go irritate him http://azrin.net

Good hotels at Amsterdam

I've always wanted to visit Amsterdam but never knew where to lodge. There were books and websites which I've rummaged around but none of them ever lasted a few minutes of my time, they were quite not-user friendly anyway.

So anyway, I finally found something easier to surf around for lodgings inthe tourist attraction in Amsterdam with just a click.

Their hotel lists, which ranges from single star to five stars is quite comprehensive and the reviews left by the previous lodgers will guide you on which hotels (service, accomadations) are the best.

Hmm... we can even download their map on Amsterdam.. very interesting. And for credit card users (aren't we all are?), they have a security feature that keeps all your personal details and card number confidential.


My Ratings: You should view it to know what I'm talking about.

Crap

24th February 2007,

I'm getting a little irritated at the PPP segmentation. It's destroying all the joy in blogging for cash at the comforts of your own home. With the new segmentation regulation, bloggers with low PR and Alexa ranking, is facing the worse of its PPP season.

Before the implementation of Segmentation, the Opps (cash opportunity) is usually up for grabs with the minimum quantity of at least 20 Opps. But now.. we can't even barely get 1 Opp for a few days straight and when I say "we" I really meant "we", the low ranking bloggers."

No doubt PP has new ideas to make us get more cash but with the never ending red-coloured highlighted posts mounting, one would wonder until when will PPP holds it lusture with its "small men." From what I've been experiencing, they are more catered to the advertisers protection since they are the paymaster.

But shouldn't the advertisers remember that most of the times, the small army ants pack more punch than a flock of geese?

Instead they just concentrate on the big guns, forgetting that blogs are actually to cater for readers who are close to the bloggers and not for the pleasure of the advertisers and those who has established trust and respect for the bloggers will take whatever was reviewed into heavy consideration. If that were the case, then they should have paid domain webholders to host their advertisement and reviews for their products or site, it still amounts to the same cost anyway.

I know I'm taking a big risk in writing my thoughts about this Segmentation thing but sometimes even the saintest person can be tempted into cursing. Try being in my "tiny" position and then you tell me..

Long ride home

22nd February 2007,

Received immediate emergency call to head to Kuala Lumpur. Took off at 4pm, reached KL at 9pm.. covered 347km.. Crammed in a car cuases muscles cramm..

And I just reached home from KL and I'm dead tired.. heading for bed now..

Dun like long journey...

Big fish to catch

As usual, my favourite PPP (PayPerPost.com) has made another idea on catching bigger fishes for those bloggers that has high ranking blogs. For those who has high ranking blogs, from PG3++ and low Alexa ranking, bloggers can easily earn as minimum as USD100 per post. I've seen it and even come across to those that has USD700+. It certainly gives easy money for hardworking bloggers and a good blog marketing strategy.

Imagine, you just need to only log onto the internet, type in a minimum words of 200, post it and you have just made USD100 on just a post. I've been telling my friends of this easy money making, but yet those stubborn bulls just don't want to try. What's the point of surfing endlessly while you can just make some cash when you log on the NET everyday. I just don't get those idiots.

Although on the down side, those who has a low page ranking, like me, we are only priveleaged with those opps that pays the basic amount. But never fear, at least the low amount opps doesn't run out fast!

So what are you waiting for? Click on PPP button on my Left-Nav bar and sign up now!

Food guidance..

20th February 2007

So I just recently came back from my nightly-haunts for great "makan" (eating) places. Since there are so many eating houses here in my place, Skudai, I've decided to drop some info for the Makan places I've been.

Please take note that I was wearing really house clothes (T-shirts with bermudas/ really worn out jeans) when I went to eat at these places, its a habit of mine to see how good their service are and whether they are downright snobs.


Restoran Mustika Zam-Zam
Location: in front of Bestmart hypermarket, behind KFC. (Tmn Tan Sri Yaccob)
My pointers: Bad service.. The servers keep mixing up the orders and they certainly do not like to entertain locals who wear tattered jeans and worn-looking T-shirts. Time taken for the food to be served is 15mins.. (I was downright hungry)
Food was nice although the RM2.00 Murtabak was a little too dissappointing cuz there wasn't enough meat to suffice my hunger.
My Ranking: Not coming again.


Ros Merah Restaurant
Location: Nusa Bestari in the direction of Sutera Utama from Bukit Indah, beside Repson Spare Parts.
My Pointers: Friendly service. Although sometimes the new recruits jumble up the orders, their attentive supervisors is always there to make sure the right orders heads our way. The servers will indulge you in a conversation if you feel kinda lonely when you are dining alone at night and the large TV screen is enough to make soccer lovers to crawl out for a dinner. Food is served in 10mins or so and their Murtabak RM4.00.. is huge with lots of meat and well meat in them.. and you can request for extra crispy top layer.
My Ranking: Good for really hungry diners.

lets see... there are still plenty of good makan places in Skudai but since I've never taken care of the names of the shops... just have to wait for another post for the upcoming good Makan places.

Make money by just..

Reviewing my post or whatever weird ideas I've came up with.

Once again PPP has made up a new way of earning money for bloggers who hates to affliate their blogs or do sponsored posts. See the nice looking badge at the bottom of my post? Yup.. thats the one that creates the "Kaching" once somone successfully sign up with PPP and reviews any of my post.

For PPP users, you can just click on the "Affliate Tools" in the your Nav-Bar on top when you sign in. Then select "Review My Post" option and copy the code and paste it into your post. Simple and easy.. and you can blog traffic..

I think the whole idea is very interesting especially when I finally get to read the reviews written about my post. True I've been receiving lots of reviews for my fics especially Indigo Eyes, but it's still will be very interesting to read what others thought about my random ramblings.

Who knows one day I get to read some interesting insight of what others think of my post.

Request..

19 February 2007,

Happy CNY people! I finally managed to actually figured out what to do during these days. Yesterday went swimming at Batu Layar and unfortunately the sunblock lotion didn't work as good as I thought it would be. Simply said, everyone in my family are all walking cooked lobsters.

Anyway due to a request brought by a friend of mine, I've decided to put up Bleach Anime video on this blog and going to change the episodes every 2-3 days cuz the episode has a total of 115+ as of to date and its still increasing.

But I won't posting up my account videos instead gonna just give the credits who had put them up on Youtube.com. So to start off, its gonna be episode 1... and I'm still counting the days till episode 116 is up... haiz...

Note: Syikin Satellite Installation Team

16th February 2007,

To all maties who are in Syikin's Radio Frequency Installation Team (SRF), kindly check out the latest news on HQ bulletin board. Read up on the installation manual before you head up to the job sites and dun forget to bring your installation equipments.

The checklist is posted on the bulletin board also.. So please check them up every morning before you head off to the sites. If there are any changes to the checklist, maties will be notified via email/ sms/ or phone.

Hopefully I don't have any "SOTONG" problems to solve after the first week.. Haiz.. But I got confidence in my guys..

Ganbatte Yo!

Blind me!

Since Chinese New Year is just around the corners, people have been going around shopping for new items (who can blame them.. country-wide is having 70% discount) and doing their Spring Cleaning. In my case, I'm stuck with the usual chores, the window cleaning..

The heavy drapes are certainly going to be the death of me one of these drapes which is why I'm contemplating in just getting blinds or those fancy shades I've been seeing in those offices. And my current obsession is this webbie.

It's a place where you can find up-to-date window shades and blinds. But since I pretty much fancy this particular roller shades I might as well share certain info on this one. Hmm.. like all roller shades, you can roll them up or down as and when you like, a large variety of colors to choose from along with price managers to give us a more little insight tip for those who are on budget.

Their Javascripted link when you mouse-over the product add-ons is a real helper to first-time customers as they help to describe the usage of the item and even show how the items look like. (certainly its a consumer friendly webbie). For those who wishes to DIY your own blind installation, you can actually view them on their full installation instructions guide for each and every product listed or you can just call them on thier hotline.

My verdict: A+ must see!
