Sensitive Issues Yet Insensitive Speaker

Went to Sushi King for lunch today and had to sit along the so-called "Kaiten". There were 2 girls having all sort of conversations, sat to our left. They spoke in English and in a quite loud voice too and we heard almost the whole conversation that they had during our meal. It's not like we want to eavesdrop or anything. They FORCED us to hear! Lol~ They were actually taking about the latest, which I categorised it as sensitive issue; the caricature of Prophet of Muhammad and how those people being so violent by attacking people, burning building and etc. Both discussed what's wrong and what's right about that issue. You want to know my opinion?! Give me a ring and I'll tell you! XD

There were a few sushi chefs inside and there was one who happened to stood in front of them making sushi rice. After a long observation, I'd conclude that he's definitely a Muslim! My friend told me that they should speak softly to avoid by being overheard. I think they spoke even louder. This chef kept making a one-kind face at me. Well, I do think that I'm a dumb person so I don't get the meaning of that look so I just threw him a smile whenever he gave me that look. Maybe he was listening to the whole conversation, felt mad but couldn't do anything because they were the customers. Or maybe he had no idea what they were talking about and was just wondering why they made such and such expression/reactions and spoke so loud. LOL~

What a weird chef...

Hypnotic Road? Fishing?

I wonder why.. every morning I drove along this particular road, I would feel sleepy and starts fishing away. Even during my college days where I had to drive from Kepong to TPM using LDP and now to Mid Valley through Kerinchi Expressway, reaches to a point which starts at the Kampung Penchala entry up until the entrance into Kerinchi Expressway after Eastin Hotel. Along that way I will be fishing. The funny part is, I will be fully awake after paying for the toll and exit to the Federal Highway. Maybe because there are less cars and I can just race away to reach my destination in a shorter time.

I've always told myself to reduce my driving speed actually. Haha, but it always failed. LOL~

RO

Been stopped from RO'ing for about few years since they implemented P2P (not Peer to Peer but Pay to Play!). Just recently I was chatting with a college friend. She likes to play games too and we talked about RO which we once met and partied together. She said she is playing a foreign private server and suggested me to download one and play. God, almost 3 GB in total + patches! I downloaded a local private server instead. They had changed the system and a little bit of gameplay in a way that gaining EXP are much more faster, location of monsters messed up, job changing and skills learning are much more easier and convenient. Before MCSE class started, I played during the nights and after class started, I played only on weekends. So far, for one week I had changed to Level 70+ Advanced Secondary Job which it would take few months if I play the official server! Haha~ My cousin who started playing 2 days ago, got a Level 97 Priest already!

Lol~ Off to RO~

Cars.. Obsession

Dad planned to sell off his C180K and get an imported second-hand Estima and then sell off the Waja I'm driving now. Wonder why he never thought of selling Brother's Jazz? Well, I think there is only one answer to that: Theoretically, his Jzz worth around RM120K now but practically, I don't think the value will exceed RM80K.

Why selling C180K? It might be a car with superior quality but it's not our song to sing anymore. That blood-sucking car was sent to the service center for like.. once a month. Faulty air-conditioner, absorbers, etc. Not sure what kinda superhigh lubricants they are using, damn expensive. Just if Dad can change it himself, well.. FOC but has to retain the warranty. That's why planning to sell it off. The car's blood-sucking or the service center?

Once, Brother came and asked me what kinda car that I want. I understand about Dad's responsibilities and those unreasonable burdens. Since he bought 2 Wald Wish for my 2 air-headed uncle. Another blood-sucker. Are you thinking that Brother's going to buy me one?? Nah, not until he manage to hit a jackpot. XD That time, Myvi had just been launched and the 2 man in my house has been discussing about that. After some times, I've spotted a Suzuki Swift. Nice, huh? But the 2 old man said it's too small, can't carry much. I was talking to myself, "Why the heck I want a car so big?!? So that, I can't sweep everything out of Ikea?!? LOL~ XD

Sometimes I do really wonder, why my family's members are so obsessed with cars especially Brother and Wai Lun. Dad like to dream of buying Benz and BMW while Brother and Wai Lun like to modify cars. Are you wondering how their cars look like? Maybe because Dad is in the automobile industry and therefore fall in love with cars and Brother has been expossed to this since young. Wai Lun?? Not sure, his dad's working with plaster (as in plaster ceiling). We always said this, "Our dads are black and white" - those used lubricant ("black oil"?) well, it's black; and plaster's white. Haha XD

Lol~ Going out for lunch now.

Silly Me

Bro has gone to a free trip to Macau given by a friend of his.
Today, while driving towards Aunt Shirley's house I was SMS'ing with him (dangerous~)..

Very sleepy. Continue my story tomorrow......... zzzZZzzZzZzZZzZz~

So, actually the main point that I wan to say is, Brother asked me to buy a RM60 reload for him. Instead of buying a 012 reload, I went to buy a 016 reload card and sent the reload pin to him. Then... ... no news at all. Only a later while, I remembered that Brother actually carries a 017 number!

Lol~ silly..

Beat The Game!

Yeah! Finally, I had beat the game!!

I played Microsoft's Fable: The Lost Chapters <microsoftlionhead> for about a month, I think. I'm not playing it very often, just about once a week. I beat the game at 22 hours of gameplay and 60+ of gamedays. Kinda good record for me because I seldom play PC games and what's more, finish the game (duh!)..

Well, about the game. It is a RPG (Role Playing Game.. in case you're wondering) type of game. The development of the main character based on each and every decision that you made. You will play as a Hero. There are 2 sides which you will become; the Good and the Evil. For example, if you always kick the Guards' butts, steals from houses, hit people faces with no sane reasons at all, you'll gain evil points. On the other side, you helps the Guards to kills of the Bandits, monsters, you'll gain good points. If you have more evil points than the good points.. it's obvious, right?!?

In the game, you'll have to do quests, big or small, but there are core quests which you must complete it in order for the game to progress forward. The rest are side quests. Quests are categorised as Gold, Silver and Bronze which Gold are core quests. Complete the quests that you take up also helps to increase the Reown points which is necessary for a Hero. The more you have.. well, the more girls will fall in love with you and thus, you'll be able to have as many wives as you want! Apart from that, the villagers will recognise you and cheers for you whenever they sees you.
For Good, or for Evil?

Your actions as a Hero, good or evil, or somewhere in between, determine your alignment, and in turn, your physical appearance. Generally speaking, when you kill Guards, Trader, or villagers, Evil Alignment points are applied to you and affect your appearance. You might begin to grow horns, or even attract insects. If you choose to save Traders and villagers from the evil beasts that roam the woods, you gain Good Alignment points, which cause you to appear more uh, good, with lighter-colored eyes and a butterfly-friendly demeanor. Good or Evil alignment also affects the way you are responded to throughout Albion.

Well, horn when you're evil? Haven't try that part yet but I think I'm quite comfortable with butterflies flying above my head. Enough saids! Play for yourself! It's rated 'Mature' though. Don't play if you're under 17 or not mature enough! Hehe.. XD

Psst! Tell you something. I actually torrent it when the *ahem* DVD that my cousin bought failed.

Hot, Irritated and Sick!

The weather is HOT! I can even sweat in my air-cond room and I think I'm getting sick..

Thought of going to RedBox@The Curve today but damn.. all the rooms were occupied! That guy asked for our name and number, will call us in 10 minutes to let us know the availabilities. And damn again, he don't even care to call us back after half an hour of shopping at The Curve instead we had to called back to ask! What the heck!

Went back home hot-headed and straight jumped onto my bed when Dad came in and asked me to issue the statement for him. Well, gonna do that after I had enough of my sleep. The weather is crazy. Nevermind the sun shining through that glass window in my room, it was damn hot even with my air-cond and my ceiling fan switched on to the max! Touched my forehead and sensed a little bit of... well, I'm having fever!!! Gonna stop my daily intake of cookies and my favorite Coke. T_T

Well, wanna head to bed early.

CiaO~

Bashed, Owned, Pwned

Nothing to do, so went to my usual tech-feed at LYN.

Usually, there is a list of recently updated threads and new threads. There was a particular one that caught my attention with the title "auntie or uncle from kampung..., they very outdated le.." I had read all 460 replies in 23 pages which the thread starter only posted once and this is his (I assume he is a HE) one and only post that read:

do u all hv any aunties or uncles from other state lik kedah,perak,p.p or other than kl n johor?

i hv aunties n uncle from p.p who is my father side...we r not so close wif them 1 lo coz i follow my mom all in kl...

i found out that they all very outdated n old fashion le...the shirts they wear very.....haiya..i oso dunno how 2 say....when walk wif them...looks lik very men'sia sui' kan ony... o_O some more...their thinking very conservative....come on la...

not looks lik my aunties n uncle who stay in kl...
very updated n in lik teenager...hehe...mayb bcoz of kl ppl n other state ppl lifestyle gap very big liao...

He got owned, pwned and bashed by other forummers in the rest of 459 replies because of his ignorance and lack of respect to elders. This makes me think that kids nowadays.. if I'm allow to say so.. are brainless. Well, most of them but not all. Wonder what they are learning or learnt in the schools. 'Nuff said, after becoming outdated already. LOL~

人與人之道

"了解別人是體諒之道,寬容別人是和睦之道;
接納別人是群我之道,關懷別人是友愛之道。"


第一、了解別人是群我之道

我們與人相處,最重要的是「了解」別人。所謂「知己知彼」,對於別人的性格、習慣、需要,我都能了解,才能成為知交。春秋時代的管仲和鮑叔牙,所以能結成「管鮑之交」,主要就是他們相互知心、相互了解。但是反觀現在的社會,有很多夫妻、戀人之間,常常因為不了解而結合,因了解而分開,總是令人感傷的事。所以,我們應該因了解而結合,因了解而相互幫助,相互體諒,這才是群我相處之道。

第二、寬容別人是和睦之道
人和人能夠認識、相處,就是有緣,既然有緣,就應該和睦相處。和睦之道,在於一顆寬容的心。例如,當別人有不合己意的地方,你要包容他;當別人與自己有意見衝突的時候,你要寬容他。所謂「有容乃大」,就像大地普載萬物,大地才能給人讚美;虛空能包容萬物,虛空才能成其大。所以我們要讓自己偉大,應該學會對別人寬容,這也是人際之間的和睦之道。

第三、接納別人是體諒之道
人難免有智愚賢不肖,對於別人的不足、缺失,你能接納他,就是一種體諒之心。有的人對人完全不懂得體諒、包容,一天到晚怪這個人做事太慢,嫌那個人說話不中聽,甚至覺得這個不好、那個不對。對別人完全沒有一點體諒之心,自然心生排斥,當然無法接納。

第四、關懷別人是友愛之道
人都希望獲得別人的關懷,尤其當失意、困難的時候,適時表達一句關懷的慰問、提供一個關懷的協助,可以激發人的信心、重燃希望。關懷別人,就是表達善意,你能不吝關懷別人,一定能獲得對方的友誼,所以關懷是彼此友愛之道。

一個人要有未來、要有前途,群我關係一定要相處融洽,一定要主動去關懷別人,能感受別人的存在,自己才能存在。所以人與人相處之道有四點:
第一、了解別人是群我之道,
第二、寬容別人是和睦之道,
第三、接納別人是體諒之道,
第四、關懷別人是友愛之道。

Dog Bites and A Massive Jam

Today, Uncle James's family, Ah Po and Ah Gong came to my house and they planned to go to this buddhist temple called Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple 佛光山東禪寺 at Jenjarom, Kuala Langat. They are having a "Lantern cum Flower Festival" in conjunction of CNY. Mom decided to join them and eventually, Dad and me. While getting ready, we had a sudden guests. Brother's friends from the lion dance troupe came to our house to borrow some sorta cable to connect car's batteries. My dog was barking furiously while running left and right at them. Two came and one of them got himself too near the gate. Suddenly, the dog jumped and got a bite on his face. Well, he was lucky enough to still have his right eye.. Blood was dripping and Dad drove him to nearby clinic. Had 2 shots of don't-know-what. What a bad Chinese New Year for this poor chap~

Set off to this far away temple at around 6:00pm. Traffic jam. Reached at 7 something. Packed with people which I would use this word: People Mountain, People Sea 人山人海! Hahaha! Stayed until 8 something and headed back. Planned to have dinner at somewhere nearby. Traffic jam again. Reached the desired restaurant at 9:50PM but the boss said they were closing and asked us to go forward. Reached there, sat down, drank tea and waited for almost an hour before our dishes were served. Finished, brushed our butts and left at 11PM. Traffic jam again and it was a darn long jam! I think there was almost more than 20KM, from that Kuala Langat until the entry to KESAS highway!! We were able to reached home at 1:30AM! This is the worst traffic jam I've ever had apart from the short stretch while entering Woodlands checkpoint from Johor Bahru.

Well, sleepy!! *Yawwwnnnnnnnn* Wanna sleep!

Ciao~
