Malaysian Ringgit had the same value as Singaporean Dollar

Published by in experience, holiday on November 17th, 2008

Well that’s what one Singaporean lady told me when i was queueing at Burger King for my lunch. I was actually at Singapore Expo that particular day and since it was lunch hour, i thought of giving Burger King a try since they do serve pork compared to Malaysia. So as i was lining up, i took my wallet off to reach for a ten dollar bill. I was scanning through the notes until i came to an orangish, yellowish bill. As i pulled it out my eyes grew larger and larger till it clearly showed … “$10 – Sepuluh Ringgit Negara Brunei” I was like goodness gracious, where’s the 10 dollar Sing that was suppose to be there. My reaction was so noticable that a lady on the next queue patted my shoulder and said not to worry, the value is the same as Singaporean Dollar. I sighed in relief and said, “Really ? That was a close call.” LOL Then i was given a brief history lesson about currencies by this lady Once upon a time, when your parents were still in their teens …. (ok i made that up). Many decades ago, when Malaysia was just formed,

Genting Trailblazer 2008

Published by in experience on November 7th, 2008

I am finally back … back in the blogging world, LOL. I have so much to write but so little time to do so. When i eventually have the time, i am either hibernating like a bear or in front of my tv. Can’t wait to get back to track with all my work being piled up every since Deepavali. Speaking of Deepavali, my parents got back from Japan on Deepavali’s day itself and YES they got me another Hard Rock Cafe shirt, hahahaha. In my previous entry i did mention that i was hoping for something else, i mean it’s Japan for heaven’s sake. An Aibo would be good enough or even a PS3 but nooooooo, i got a shirt instead. Not one but 3 shirts, hahahaha. Anyway i am happy with the shirts, i was actually expecting nothing judging from their tight schedule. The second week i had much more time for myself, so much so that i lost track on the dates of the 2 things that i was really looking out during this break. One was my Singapore trip and the other was Genting Trailblazer. Earlier i thought i would be in Singapore first before heading

Love is in the air

Published by in experience, food, Random on August 27th, 2008

It has been a month since Sae Wei’s and FireWire’s (yes that’s his real name LOL) wedding and finally i have time to write about it. I was told to hold on before writing but the fact that my entries are all backlogged, it didn’t really matter William and i drove from Cyberjaya towards PJ to fetch Angeline and Evelyn before heading over to Wangsa Maju where we met up with Aaron and Daniel We were there quite early, so early that we had breakfast at a nearby coffee shop ala Old Kopitiam. After forty odd minutes, we were told that Firewire was on his way to pick Sae Wei. So we gathered at Sae Wei’s place and waited

Park Responsibly

Published by in experience, penang on August 4th, 2008

I was walking with my mum and sis towards our car in Queensbay mall just to find out some dodobird did an illegal parking behind our car. In fact one of the guards was already waiting there, anticipating some comotion. I tried reversing but there wasn’t enough room to get out of my parking bay. If that wasn’t frustrating enough, another dodobird parked right beside our car which was meant for trolleys and that made my getaway even harder. So at that very moment my car was only able to reverse straight back, without being able to turn. By then i have already caused a massive jam on floor six and seven. Within minutes more guards and parking personels appeared. They themselves were furious at how ignorant some people could be. They tried paging the owners via PA system but as you and i know, NO ONE LISTENS to those announcements. After five minutes, they decided to move one of the car ….. manually. The car behind was a Proton Wira and the car beside was a Daihatsu Charade. As they were moving away their bikes, a few people who got stuck in the jam actually walked up to see

Policeman didn’t like my name

Published by in experience, personal on July 24th, 2008

I was on my way back to Cyberjaya when i decided to floor the accelerator of my car. The road was an alternative route and it’s usually empty especially close to midnight. Just as my car was accelerating up the hill, i saw blue and red lights flashing. My eyes literally popped out and i stopped chewing my gum. I slowed down my car as i approached the road block … … just that very afternoon my mum called to say that one of my nuffnang cheques was already cashed in and i was thinking, well there goes that money -_-” … Police: Lesen dan IC ( license and identification card) … I handed over to the officer while i tried to give those pitiful look ala Puss in Boots from Shrek -_-” which obviously failed big time when i knew i was speeding like a donkey. Police: Kenapa tak diberi nama Johnny ke …? (Why weren’t you given the name like Johnny?) Me: Eheheheheh *giving those dumb grins* Police: Siapa bagi nama kamu ini ? (Who gave you this name ?) Me: Bapa saya (My dad) swt Police: Bapa bagi ??? Bila kamu ini balik kampung nanti, pergi marah

Now everyone can fly and sleep

Published by in experience on May 12th, 2008

I am pretty sure most of you are familiar with the announcements made on a plane prior to departing and landing. One good example would be, “Ladies and gentleman please fasten your seatbelt as we are about to takeoff/land”. Its so common that everyone knows the drill. A few months back i was on a flight heading to Penang. It has been a routine for me to sleep off during the flight and just as i was about to doze off as others were getting to their sits, the captain of the plane made an announcement. “Ladies and gentleman, this is a kindly reminder. Please do not fasten your seatbelt, i repeat do not fasten your seat belt …” As the captain was making that announcement, i was like, ” What the fish ?” “… because the plane is currently being refueled.” Never have i heard such an announcement so much so i was wide awake for the next few minutes rather than plunging into dreamland. Beside me was a man from Bahrain whom earlier had chat with me about his country and the F1 circuit. And on the window seat was a donkey …… a donkey on his cellphone.

What does Kenko have in common with Yo! Sushi?

Published by in experience, food, fun on April 7th, 2008

It was a Friday and it was one FISHY FRIDAY. Weng Choong knew i had no classes so he appeared in Cyberjaya for a game of squash. This is what i call ‘semangat’. Hahaha. He was so enthusiastic that he drove all the way from Seremban, lol. 5ive minutes into the game, i pulled my hamstring -_-” Ridiculously unfit man me. But somehow i managed to pull through and play a few more games before hitting the showers. Then we headed off to Pavillion. Before Pavillion, we stopped by at Sungai Wang to donate some cash, lol. Hence the result of the picture above. No no it has nothing to do with me buying Hello Kitty items, it’s way beyond that. Thanks David for the explanation Bernard called us up and said he would be late cause he was stuck at Midvalley for Careerfair. So i suggested to try Yo! Sushi since Shaz was telling me so much about it the other time i met him. Mind you, i had a hard time taking the plates off the belt. Simply because the price isn’t similar to Sushi King. The most expensive plate is 16bucks So half of the time, we

We were suppose to get another player as standby but we couldn’t be bothered -_-” Ego all running high With the 5 of us in one team, we called ourselves Glorious Assassins ! *coughs coughs*

A treat to Italianniese which went wrong

Published by in experience, food on February 13th, 2008

Who would give a pass when you are told that you are gonna be treated dinner at Italianniese ? Definitely not me. It has been a while since i have set foot in one of their outlets. So when Lingster gave me a call saying she was gonna treat me, i was ecstatic As usual, the bread came first and mmmmm it tasted really good. Since it was a treat, i took the opportunity to order those which is slightly more expensive than normal. Muahahaha. Yeah i know i am evil but come on ler, it’s only once in a while. When i gave my order, i could somehow sense that Lingster gave me the WTF look at me because my dish alone was close to 40bucks @_@ It’s been a norm for me to order Calimari whenever i am at Italianniese. But unfortunately, most of the squids were still drenched
