Spreading Rumours

Taken from www.thestar.com.my

What can I say? If any of you in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah yesterday, you'll for sure experienced another UGLY side of "us" (can't say Malaysian, as I mentioned before). I was stuck in the jam for like 1 hour (travel distance = around 5km), because everyone is queuing up for fill their tank. I do not bother to fill up my tank for few reasons :-

i) I still got half tank, which can last for 1 more week
ii) I do not have enough cash with me at that time. LoL (They do not take credit card anymore)
iii) I believe that it is impossible for petrol station to stop their business for 3 days

Now, I was wondering, who spread the rumour that the petrol station is going to close for 3 days? Ok, I heard from a collegue of mine, she received SMS directly from Maxis, saying that petrol station is going to close for business for 3 days. What is their purpose if it is them who spread the rumour? To earn more, because they know consumer will surely SMS and call their relatives/friends? Yea, this could be true. I mean, when rumour's spread, the most profit party is the telco company.

Second, what makes the people themselves believe in such rumour? Do they ever think of the economy impact to the country if petrol station is close? Do they think the Gov will allow it? I bet the Gov will revoke their license if they really do so.

Too bad, I was sooo annoyed yesterday, and I forgot to take pic for this post. LoL..

Forensic Heroes II

Hi everyone, it's been a while since my last post. Kinda busy with real life. Well, busy watching TVB drama. LoL...

So, anyone here really into TVB drama? Me, as long as Charmane Sheh is in, I'll stick to that drama. Why? What else ah, she's like my ANGEL !!! Astro On Demand now showing Forensic Heroes II and she's in there also. W00t.. Its a MUST WATCH drama !!! But too bad, I'm an IT freak. Astro cant earn my money. LoL..

I'll just download from Internet. As I mentioned in my first post, Internet is FREE (paid liao actually). I've already download a lot of movie. Anyone want it, just message me. I'll copy to you. Serious :-)

Back to the drama, I think the director made a mistake. There's one episode where Ting Ting is already dead. And there is one actor said "Ting Ting's husband....", where actually, it should be "Pui Pui's husband..." The mistake is so obvious, but the director failed to notice it. I cant recall which episode and which scene liao, but no worry. I'll try to look back until I find it. I think its time for the director to retire. Yea, retire and give way to the younger generation.

I lazy to look for it now, because I want this post to be up A.S.A.P

Ugly side of Malaysian

Picture taken from www.thestar.com.my, showing the money she got from TTDI post office

No, I do not mean she's ugly. I mean, MALAYSIAN. Although it is not applicable to all, but I'm pretty sure it is applicable to most.

I read a newspaper this morning, people queuing up in front of the post office as early as 7am, and snapped up about RM 20M for their eligible fuel subsidy. I was like, speechless for a while. Queuing up as early as 7am? People, our Goverment will pay out the subsidy until March 2009. We have like a few months to get our subsidy back from post office, and they chose to get it back on the very first day? Why I said Malaysian are ugly. We often see Malaysian some how "loved" to wait everything until the very last minute to get it done, rather than get it done on the first day. What?

A very good example, submitting income tax. Every waited till the very last day to submit their income tax, and caused the income tax online system came to a halt. Another good example, changing to MyKad. Most waited until the very last day to have their IC changed, and ended up waiting there till midnight. But, when getting money from Gov, without any delay, they go on the first day.

Its fortunate, not all are eligible to get their money back today, because their road tax has yet expire. What if Gov announced, everyone can get it back, starting from today. I'm sure post office all over Malaysia will have to work until midnight.

BullSh1t

Someone tell me a story couple of days ago, which I find it very interesting and decided to post it here for a laugh.

It sounds like this :-

A cock is trying hard to fly up to a tree.
So, there is a bull pass by and ask the cock ;

Bull : What are you doing?
Cock : I was trying to fly up to that branch, but cant.
Bull : Here, eat my shit and you'll be able to fly up to that branch.
Cock : Ok, I'll eat if what you say is true.

So, the cock ate the shit and really flew up to that branch. Now, the cock trying to fly up to the top of the tree again. So, the bull ask;

Bull : What are you doing now?
Cock : I want to fly to the top.
Bull : Come eat my shit again, and you'll be able to fly to the top
Cock : Ok, i trust you. (and eat the shit)

No doubt, the cock able to fly to the top of the tree and cluck proudly. And then, a hunter heard the clucking and shot the cock.

So, what's the moral of the story?

Bullshit takes you to the top, but you won't stay long...

Anyone agree or with comment? Feel free..

Online Gaming, Anyone?

Game Wallpaper

Hi guys and gals. I'm pretty sure most of us playing online game, especially those IT personnel and/or GUY. I'm one of it as well and in fact, I'm so addicted to it, a while ago of course. I seldom see gals addicted into game, or maybe you know any of them, feel free to talk about it.

Most known (to me) online game nowadays like Cabal, Ragnarok, Maple, WarCraft, Battle Station and so on, so forth are free (correct me if I'm wrong).

For me, playing game after 9 hours of working is like some sort of release tension technique. But of course, playing game caused more tension sometimes. That's the main reason, 1 of my friend quited the game. It really depends on how you take the game.

What do you think?

Grand Opening of Ricc's Blog !!

Erm.. thanz to my fren Vincent (kimkee), I start blogging.. No, I wasn't following trend.. But the main reasons, Internet is free (paid RM88 per month anyway) and petrol to drive out is sky-HIGH.. Cant really afford liao...

Yea.. my main purpose is to kill time and save $$.. :-)

Well, who doesn't need to do that now? I bet 50% and above people need to do the same thing. Dun be surprise to see more and more blogs pop out in the next few months, complaining about fuel price.. Hehe

Just my thought though, no need to take it seriously.. ^^
