Switching Off for Earth Hour

2009-03-25T09:09:00.003+08:00

This is interesting. Turning off our lights (lights only? other electrical appliances how?) for 1 hour, on 28th March 2009, 8:30pm local time.

Well, I'll surely support this move. Will definitely turn off lights, air-con also (depends on weather), maybe off PC (but, if no PC, I'll drive out for sure. Smoke emitted from car is much more worse lo, might as well stay home and on my PC). LoL.

How bout u all? Will u support?

Remember my dream HP that I bought back in Sept 2008? Well, I've been using it for like.. 6 months up to now. After all my experiences with this HP, what I can say is, HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED. I'm really considering to scrap it now... >.<

18SX - U've been warned

Interesting topic

Guys or girls out there. Can help me with this? I thought of a few, but.. yea.. its not appropriate to post it here. Put in the comments box is a better idea though. :-)

Formula 1 2008 (Jokes)

2008-10-20T09:50:00.005+08:00

Ok. In case you guys doesn't know much about me, I'm a big fans for Kimi Raikkonen, since he's in McLaren, in 2003, I guess. Bare in mind, I'm not a big fans for Ferrari though, caused of the rivalry between Ferrari and McLaren before Kimi joining Ferrari. Personal gurdge. LoL

Kimi winning the 2008 Malaysia GP

So, below is some quotes which I think is funny :-

Felipe Massa : "I was strong enough to catch and pass [Kimi Raikkonen] and that was the best part of the race for me." (Fact : Kimi slowed down and let him passed)

Fenando Alonso : "I don't know what he did, but it's good he's punished anyway."

David Couthard : "I think I'm a moving target. Everyone seems aiming and crash at me."

There should be more, but I wasn't able to recall all. If any Formula 1 fans out there see this, please share those funny jokes here.

Let's promote F1.

Forex Trading

2008-10-09T07:42:00.003+08:00

I believe many of you out there are into investments, be in Forex, Unit trust, Fund or Stock market. I, myself tried all of them, except option trading. So far, most of them caused my losses, except for 1, Forex.

My trade on 08 Oct 2008

The above caption was the screenshot for 2 of my trades on the 8th of Oct. Notice the time I spent. Its less than 1 hour, and my profit is 43%. After so many disappointments with all the previous investment, I can say that, trading in Forex has more advantages and easier compared to stock market. At least, I can choose whether to buy the price goes up or the other way round, compare to stock market, where you buy and keep your finger cross that the price will goes up.

Back to the caption above, I'm very super sad, because it is from my demo account. Its not my real $$$ !!!!!! OMG WTH.. They should've give me maybe 10% of my profit at least.. I'll call them up later, ask for 10% of my profit ^^

So, how about you all? Invest in anything? Please share your experience. Money's are everywhere. You wont be able to earn it all by yourself. So, don't be stingy yea.

Cheaper Fuels

2008-09-24T21:35:00.008+08:00

Gratz to all Malaysian. Our goverment is slashing the fuel price again, to RM2.45 per liter for petrol and RM2.40 for diesel. It is considered as a "massive" 10 cents reduction. Yes. You saw it right. It is 10 cents reduction, after the world crude oil price falls and stayed at around USD100 per barrel, from USD140 per barrel.

Image taken from www.nst.com.my

So, the petrol price is about the same as diesel's price. So, people, please be considerate to me. I'm using diesel. Don't use those lame excuse on me like last time, such as "Diesel is cheaper mah!!". I'll surely kick your @ss. Below are the events happened throughout the year :-

June 2008 - Crude Oil price rise steadily from USD110 ~ USD 140 ++
- Our petrol price hiked from RM1.92 per liter to RM2.70 per liter. A real massive hike of RM0.78 cents. Since we use the round up mechanism now, 78 cents is equivalent to 80 cents. Great tactic right?
Note : At USD110 ~ USD120, our petrol price can remain at RM1.92 per liter.
Excuse : The goverment lose too much to subsidized petrol/diesel.

Aug 22 - Crude Oil price is around USD120
- Our petrol price reduced to RM2.55 from RM2.70 per liter. 15 cents reduction while crude oil price has fall back to USD120 per barrel
Note : Fall of USD20 only cost us 15 cents. Hike of USD20 cost us 78 cents. Fair?
Excuse : Goverment will review oil price every 2 weeks.

Sept 24 - Crude Oil price at around USD100
- Petrol price is reduced again, by 10 cents to RM2.45 per liter. 10 cents reduction.
Note : 10 cents reduction only after oil price remains at USD100 for a week or two. No reduction for diesel.
Excuse : With the declining of crude oil price, Petronas is profit is lower.

So, can you notice the excuses given in just within 3 months? Where's the point? When crude oil price hike, goverment use subsidy as their excuse to increase our petrol price. Never mention about Petronas profit has become higher. Now, crude oil price fallen, excuse is, Petronas is earning less, that's why cant reduce our petrol price by too much. Maximum is by 10 cents. Where's the $ saved from subsidy arh? I really wonder..

Anyway, normal passenger car can carry about 50 liters petrol. 78 cents increase last time will cost us about RM39 extra to fully filled our tank. A 10 cents decrease will saved us ONLY RM5 when we fully fill the tank. This is the difference between rise and drop.

Is there any hidden agenda? ^^

Malaysia Today

2008-09-15T09:32:00.004+08:00

I'm done keeping myself silence over the current politic issue in Malaysia. For the past few months, so much had happened and I do not know what to talk about or where to start.

So, the latest is about a racial remark made by Datuk Ahmad Ismail, calling Chinese are squatters in this country, and therefore deserve no equality. Below are the chain of things happened :-

1) Datuk Ahmad Ismail said Chinese are squatters in Malaysia
2) MCA, Gerakan request for an apology
3) Datuk Ahmad Ismail insists, he made no mistake and therefore won't apologize (He never deny he made such statement)
4) UMNO stripped Datuk Ahmad Ismail posts and suspended for 3 years (No ISA involvement, eventhough he made such remark that threats the national security. So weird)
5) Datuk Ahmad Ismail accepted the punishment but stays defiant (Still not denying he made suck remark)
6) Sin Chiew News reporter, H.C Tan arrested under ISA (Held under ISA because her life is threatened? Where is our police?)
7) Seputeh MP's Teresa Kok arrested under ISA, because of her comments on mosques and the Azan (How about Datuk Khir Toyo whom first made the allegations against Teresa? No ISA acts on him?)
8) Malaysia Today's blogger, Raja Petra also arrested under ISA, for incite racist feelings (How come Datuk Ahmad is not arrested under ISA when making racial remarks?)

I was hoping, someone with very good idea can come out to justify my questions on what's happening. Bare in mind, there'll be more questions though. LoL.

SE C902 Camera Phone

2008-09-05T14:48:00.009+08:00

September 4th, 2008. I'm very happy. Finally get my dream HP after struggle for weeks, choosing between various models.

Front and rear view of my HP (by N78)

The HP doesnt come with memory card. So, I've to spend extra for a 2GB card. Ok lah, total damage to my bank a/c is RM13xx.00. Considering this HP met my requirement in every aspects.

I want a camera phone, which is good looking, and most important, slim. I'm looking at w890i and w910i actually. Both of them are W series, slim and stylish, but doesn't have good camera. K series, all are too thick for me, not stylish although have good camera. So, I continue to survey SE website everyday, and finally found this. 1 question, is the the model that will be use in the new James Bond movie?

C, the new series for SE camera phone, and stands for CyberShot. Great stuff, slim, and a camera phone with auto focus. If you want more information, try Google search for it. I'm not reviewing my HP here. I'm here just to show off. LoL. J/k.. dun get offended yea..

Below are samples from the SE C902 5MP HP. ^^

My drink in office.. LoL (by C902)

Er.. I don't wish to comment (by C902)

Now, I wish I wont regret buying this HP and hoefully can use it for few years...

Death Race..

2008-08-26T13:04:00.004+08:00

Death Race Poster

Yippie, finally back to cinema, after so long of inactive. LoL. Guess what, my last movie is... Three Kingdom, a few months back, I guess. After that, no chance to go to cinema at all. Poor me..

Anyway, watched Death Race last nite, at GSC, 1 Borneo. Well, I dun want to give details about the movie, but 1 thing I can say is, the movie is GOOD, for me at least. It worth the money and all the difficulty I had in the cinema.

Huh? How come I'm suffering? That's weird.. All I can say is, its not weird. Its Monday yesterday, and normally, not many people will go to 1 Borneo to watch movie. The entire cinema packed with only, I'd say less than 20 audiences, or probably 30. The air-cond is sooo cold, that me and my friend start shivering after 1 hour and getting worse and worse at the end. Then, I look at the couple beside me, and they're also feeling the cold. The girl keep on moving her leg, move here and there, unable to sit tight and watch the movie. That's the sign of suffering, coz I'm doing exactly the same thing.. LoL....

Anyway, for those who planned to watch movie at 1 Borneo, especially during weekdays, please bring extra thick jacket. It is very cold in there. But overall experience, thumbs up.. ^^

Girls Nowadays ..... -.-"

Full link is available at
http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/8/13/nation/22069450&sec=nation

Anyway, after reading this news, I was really speechless. Then, my friend send me this same link, and we start discuss about it. How should I put this?

This can be a long debate. LoL. Ok, I pity to this girl, really. But I put the blame on her also. Why? Because she has to admit that, she IS the one who allowed or I'd say, give chance to the guy to blackmail her.

Come on, you let a stranger (meet first time, not stranger meh?) to take nude picture of you the first time you date? Who in this world will do that, for free arh? (I know prostitute allowed la.. but you have to pay.. LoL)
I know got la, because got a lot of cases like this liao. I mean, what makes someone (not only girl, but guy also) to let a stranger to take your nude picture? Did they even think of the consequences? Why not they learn from other's mistakes arh? This kind of news are all over the newspaper for years le..

Seriously, I pity her, but I really think she is... DU*B.. -.-"

My advice : "Please learn from other's mistakes as well, because you do not have that much time to learn it all by yourself"

Genius Driver !?!?!?!?!?

2008-07-29T13:24:00.004+08:00

Hai, guess what. After being silent for so long, I'm back because I met a genius driver today. Ok, me and my colleagues went to lunch at KK town just now. We drive thru the narrow road in front of HSBC and AmBank (sorry, got police, can't take the pic). I guess, people who stay in KK know where it is. One of the busiest lane (if not the busiest) in KK.

So, there is this car, a station wagon, parked in the designated parking, with half of its car outside, blocking the traffic. And, there is another car, "double parked" behing this station wagon. Now, a policeman come over, ask the car that "double-parked" to go away, because it is blocking the traffic. But, the policeman didn't bother to ask the station wagon to go or park properly. Sigh, I'm so pissed now. Why? Isn't the station wagon also blocking the traffic? Half of its car length is outside of the designated parking la. Although the "double parked" is gone, the traffic is still stuck. Too bad, although I'm (stucked) there to watch the whole thing, can't take a pic. Got police la. But 1 word for the policeman :- (I'm sorry if I'm too much, but...) BRAINLESS !!!

Anyway, this is not the end. I parked my car in Wisma (I don't know the name). The car park is managed by DBKK. Not important though. Look at the pictures.

See the yellow line? That CRV is 1-feet into the parking space of the Hilux

Rear view, with "boxed" highlighted the line

The other side of the CRV. Wah.. So "vacant"

Jeez, another d**b-a** driver. See the yellow "box"? Why can't he/she use his/her brain to think before he/shewalked away from his/her car? Can't he/she be more considerate to another driver that is also PAYING the same amount of money as he/she did? What if he/she met another driver that parked like that? Hm, maybe they can be best buddy and share their experience on :- "HOW TO PARK YOUR VEHICLE SO THAT OTHER DRIVER CANNOT PARK BESIDE YOU"

Illegal Immigrants (Part 2) - Thievery !!!!

2008-07-15T14:31:00.007+08:00

Thief broke into my house's "garden" area last Friday. It's a "small" thief, because he/she only managed to steal a handphone. But, how come the title still mention II? Well, if not them, WHO?? Ok, my bad. I'm prejudice. But, tell me your suspect.

Tray where the handphone is kept

Normally, there'll be 2 HP placed there. But somehow, my mum forgot to bring her HP in, and left it in the living room, therefore, only 1 got stolen. Thanz God.. LoL.

The windows of the bedroom from outside view

The thief stand there and put a hand inside to grab the HP, so easy job. See the "red square"? There is actually a CCTV camera, behind those leaves of course, focusing to where I am standing. But too bad, it is NOT on that day -.-"
Else, I'll know who is the thief, or maybe I can confirm whether is II or not.

I think Friday (11 July 2008) is just not my bad. Not to mention the HP lost, I drove-thru a flooded road in the evening. The water is about 3 foots high, and ended up, my car plate number broken. But another thanz to God, my car still survive. LoL...

Illegal Immigrants (Part 1)

2008-07-07T13:48:00.006+08:00

As for a Sabahan, illegal immigrant (II) is an all-time issue that continues haunting us. Some how, which I hate to say, we've already get used to it. But still, I DISLIKE them. For me, they're the root of crimes happening here. We (Sabahan) dare not to offend them, afraid got injured or worst, killed by them. They (II) can walk freely on our land, anytime they wish, anywhere they want. How about us? We need to think carefully before going to a place, where occupied by II for our own sake. Think, who is the ILLEGAL party now arh? Them?? Or US??

Every time before election, most MPs, if not all, promised will go hard on II if they win. But somehow, II problem continues even after SOOOO many general elections. Where are those PROMISES after tat ???

If anyone using Jln Tg Lipat, they'll definitely noticed, the II houses built along-side the road have been tore down. Me also noticed couple of days ago. Well, I think all of us know, why so sudden, our Gov start raiding II? The last time I recalled, they(Gov) goes hard on II is.... Forgot how many years back. LoL.. But somehow, they spent money to build a row of zinc to cover the II houses alongside Jln Tg Lipat, rather then bring them down at that time. Why?

Easy, because SAPP president raised the issue and make it BIG. But, how come Gov only act when the issue is brought up and caught everyone's attention? Why don't they do it all time? How come no MP dare to bring up this issue for SOOOO long? Are all of our elected MPs incompetent??

Spreading Rumours

2008-06-25T08:06:00.001+08:00

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

2008-06-24T15:25:00.000+08:00

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

2008-06-15T15:18:00.000+08:00

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

2008-06-11T09:31:00.000+08:00

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?

2008-06-06T08:31:00.000+08:00

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 !!

2008-06-05T14:26:00.000+08:00

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.. ^^

Quote of the day :-
Maturity is knowing you are an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is knowing that you'll be an idiot in the future.
Common Sense is knowing that you should try not to be an idiot now.
