Dragon fly away, Snake sneak out...

Today is the last day of Dragon year... as my animal zodiac, this year was NOT a very good year. Just a normal year which i still have my job, enough money to survive, i bought couples of TOTO but only strike RM4 in Malacca once. Still have people who loves me. Hmmmm.... other than that it's a very quiet and non excited year.

Since the Dragon going to fly away and the snake is sneaking out... I hope the coming year will be better for me. I went to TIMES two three weekend back to read the projection of the Zodiac Animal for Year of Snake from Lillian Too. Anyone a fans of her?

Then i went into the internet to read some of the other prediction... All of them have the common said.
1. It's good time for me to switch job. So what job should i take?
2. I have luck on wealth for this year. Hmmm... so i should buy more TOTO, 4D and 6D too.
3. I'll enjoy traveling around for this year... not sure what it's mean but i'm looking forward for my vacation

Errrr... what else? ...

Anyway, do you believe on these kind of prediction?

The spoiled Toilet Seat

What Color is MONDAY?

Few weeks back there was a reported news on bomb in the toilet of an LRT station downtown. One person has injured while using the toilet... Anyway, felt sorry to the person who injured and the person who was doing that should send to hell...

Anyway, i was using the toilet cubicle for peeing this afternoon in my office. It came to my attention that something looks very weird...

What had happened to the toilet Seat?

1. Someone too big size and heavy until the seat dislocated?
2. Someone too stress and release on the toilet seat?
3. Someone didn't get his expected bonus and decided to pay all his anger on the toilet seat?

Any of you can think of other possibility? mind to share?

A wet wet Friday morning...

Yesterday morning was a wet wet morning... It was a challenge to wake up in such a cooling morning. Moreover it's Friday. Anyhow, i have no choice but to wake up early and hit the office for my last day of training.

When i walked out from my room, the first thing i did was to look out the KL city from my balcony...

Did you notice what is different in this picture?

Typical scene in KL when it's raining

Zoom version of the traffic jam

Since TZ is staying high up in the sky. He was able to do a survey on which route to go out from his condo was much more faster. 

Even though the traffic is slow moving in various part of KL. TZ still reached his office on time ;-)

Were you stuck in the traffic yesterday morning?

1:11

It's 1:11am SAT... what to write?

NASDAQ, NYSE, KLSE...

When you see these word "NASDAQ, NYSE, KLSE, FTSE etc..., I bet first come to your mind is share market. Of cause if you see the word "Wall Street" your mind will definitely gave you the answer straightaway... ding ding ding "Stock Market"... So, Bulls earn Money, Bears earn Money, Pigs get slaughtered is actually related to Wall Street. I came across this statement when i watched the movie Wall Street - Money never sleep last Tuesday.

Since no one want to perform a google search, i did a search and found this Investopedia which explain some basic terminology of stock market... They did talk about the bull, the bear and the farm (chicken and pig). So just pay a visit to Investopedia eh~

I belief maybe the piccie that i posted has confused all of you. But the piccie that i posted was taken by someone in front of Frankfurt stock exchange... so it's definitely related to stock market :p

andar a lo gringo

I was cooling down after RPM, eBuddying with my friends on iPhone in the locker room. Three young guys walking into the locker room... Opened their lockers and suddenly one guy said out loud...

Guy A: Oh no i forgot to bring my underwear.
Guy B: Last time i did not bring my underwear and i ended wearing the sweaty underwear after shower.
Guy C: Yuck~
Guy A: Why wear the sweaty underwear... Just don't wear la...
Guy B: I could not let it dingaling.
Guy C: Why not?
Guy B: I don't know but i don't feel good when it dingaling and swinging inside.
Guy C: * Looking at Guy A* So what are you going to do?
Guy A: hahaha... going commando.
All Guys: *Laughing out loud*

Anyway, whether Guy A going commando or not. I have no idea cause i took my towel and when for shower, dried myself and left the locker room.

So anyone have the experience of going commando? Mind to share....

PS: andar a lo gringo = going commando in Chile.

First Weekend after CNY

It was lack of sleep since before Chinese New Year. I just recovered from the lack of sleep condition... ish... it's Sunday again... meaning tomorrow have to work again. Given that all the people finishing their vacation. Traffic in KL tomorrow morning will be havoc again. Especially first day of school and first day of work (for some of the them)... the drivers tense to drive slowly coz they haven't fully recovered from their holiday mood. Are you?

I was alone for the past week and finally my parent is coming back this afternoon. Going to pick them up after my gym in KLIA. Hmmm... what else to write... Oh ya I just finished my laundry and the washing machine already beeping ... so need to go and hang my clothes for drying...

Gotta go now... Ciao!

Rainy Thursday...

Rain drops keep falling on my head

Rhythm of the rain

.....

Anyone has some newer song about rain?... I think someone must have repeatedly sing the rain song in Redbox or Neway yesterday night... until all the rain song became a call for rain this morning. But, good for me as it was a nice cooling morning for sleep, sleep and sleep... I knew some of you who need to rush for work would have cursed along the way as you were caught in the jam for hours... As for TZ, he was taking photo high up in his balcony and enjoying the rainy scenery of Kuala Lumpur in the morning... *hiak hiak*

Taken this morning @ my balcony

Since the rain has stopped and the traffic has cleared... Later it's time for TZ to the gym and back to study after gym... Oh, btw, i forgot to mention... I'm a full time student now.. Studying for my exam next week.

Gotta go and cook my lunch now... Sayonara... Enjoy the rest of the day eh~

Flash Flood in KL again... Where is our Smart Tunnel?

I was so disappointed and shocked to realize that the massive traffic jam this evening was caused by a flash flood in downtown KL reported by Malaysian Insider dated March 03 2009... 

Picture from The News Strait Time

I was stuck in the traffic for about 2.5 hours after attending MSC Malaysia Pre-Seed Fund Programme @ MSC cybernet hall, Plaza Sentral. Bahija and I stranded in the traffic from KL Sentral until Jalan Ipoh... The car only moved inch by inch... hehehe.... walking even faster than driving ... So, we were wondered what had happened to KL city... ??????? .... Well, after checking with all our friends and we found out that there were a severe flash flood in downtown... Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!

So, Where is our world well known Smart Tunnel which famous for its duel usage ... flood and traffic... Today marked another big questions mark from all the residence of Kuala Lumpur... how useful is our lovely 1.887 billion "Smart Tunnel"... The residences of KL had suffered for at least 2 hours jam from their work place back to their home after a 3 hours of heavy rain... Is the Smart Tunnel put on usage to flow the excess water out from KL downtown... errrrrr... I doubt so :p

On Driving around to get things done in my birthday ...

I was sending my car to have a wash after so many shit from dear birdie, dust from dearest DUKE Highway and flower/leaves from our lovely trees... All these substances were given my car different pattern of dirt and sat on my car during CNY. I got a shocked when i was trying to drive my car out from the parking lot and hit the gym. So, i told my car, "Car Car, dearest Car,  You will have a nice bath in a short while."... Blek!

Anyway, something just happened during my car having a shower ... the broken car plate has given up his life... the plate dropped on the ground. I have no choice but need to buy another plate to replace the old one. To search for shops that made a new plate was a challenge in CNY... I went to the shop that i had been last time when my plate dropped during a flash floor long time ago. Due to CNY, the shop was closed... sigh! 

How? TZ How? I was not in a good mood even though today was my birthday. So i asked around and drove along Jalan Ipoh hoping that one shop that would be able to made and sell the car plate. I stopped at least 3 car services shops and learnt something from the shops owner. Only those shop that sell car accessories will made the car plate. Along Jalan Ipoh, there were at least 10 shops but none of them were opened ... I told myself i would have no choice but driving around the city without a front car plate. 

When i felt so tired after 1 hour of searching for Car Accessories Shop... finally i was about to give up... I saw a shop which written Car Accessories ... I was so happy and wanted to jump ... Finally i managed to get my car plate... yuppie! After understand about how much they charge, I quickly made a deal with the shop owner and the shop owner requested his young and nice staff to help on fixing a new plate. Total damage : RM18.00.... must "Huat"... kakaka :p so i think i need to buy RM 18 for 2816 :p

At about 2pm, i was driving with a shining new car plate to The Curve for my gym session... Anyone planning to buy four digit today... kakaka :p If you win any money, don't forget to share with me eh! ... muhahaha :p
