Seen this guys around at 3 location, Star Hill, Lot 10 and Times Square ...
who are they?
Federal Reserve Unit?
Pasukan Gerakan Am?
Are they expecting a riot or something like that?
Or a violent countdown tonight?

I don't feel good when this guys are walking around brandishing their M-16 like some third-world militant country, why cant they just carry side arms?

I got this through mail and it is said that the kid in the picture was found in Khao Lak Resort Area, and it is believed that the parents are missing and might have been killed by the waves, so help is needed to ascertain the nationality or locate family of this poor child, i think he does not even know what has befallen on him ... sigh! I will try to post to other foreign forum too.

It really disturbing as the death toll of this earthquake and the series of tsunamis might reach 60,000 ... most reports are still waiting for the exact numbers of death from Indonesia as the death toll from Indoneisia is not updated, this might be due to as some places might be unreachable and most communication means is down. This is a real disaster which has happened ... Only if there was an early warning system which could have alerted everyone, but then again a tsunami is not expected to happen in the Indian Ocean, but nowadays anything can happen! Might this be some early warning that something even huger might be heading our way?

Jeff Ooi - Tsunami: What have we learnt?

cnn - Tsunami death toll could top 60,000
bbc - Quake prompts massive aid effort
Associated Press - Tsunami Death Toll Climbs to 52,000
Reuters - Race to Bury Asia's Dead as Toll Soars Near 60,000
Jakarta Post - Indonesia quake toll hits 21,000 as disease threatens
NY Times - A Third of the Dead in Undersea Quake Are Said to Be Children

Your IQ score is 117

Your Intellectual Type is Inventive Inquisitor. You have the unusual distinction of being equally good at math and verbal skills. This means you are a creative thinker and are uniquely good at teaching others through experiences. You are also a great improviser and very good at handling change.

You must register first http://web.tickle.com/jumpto?test=uiqogt&c=5477

yeah and i also found that i am a ...

Earl, you are Balanced-brained

That means you are able to draw on the strengths of both the right and left hemispheres of your brain, depending upon a given situation.

When you need to explain a complicated process to someone, or plan a detailed vacation, the left hemisphere of your brain, which is responsible for your ability to solve problems logically, might kick in. But if you were critiquing an art opening or coming up with an original way to file papers, the right side of your brain, which is responsible for noticing subtle details in things, might take over.

While many people have clearly dominant left- or right-brained tendencies, you are able to draw on skills from both hemispheres of your brain. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible thinker.

The down side to being balanced-brained is that you may sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the two hemispheres of your brain are competing to solve a problem in their own unique ways.

Now, I am having this weird guilt feeling, its very fammiliar, i remembered i had this lonely guilt feeling sometime back, where u feel alone, and guilty at the same time, but guilty of what? Guilt of those things you did?, guilty of those things you never did? ... I think i had this similiar feeling when my ex broke-up with me back then, i just felt weird to have this feeling, but why?

As i ponder upon all i have done for this year which s gonna end in a few days time, i tried very hard to remember all those stuff i wasnted to do and wanted to have, i try to remember how many of these stuff i have done and how many of this stuff which i have got ... its like a long trip down memory lane. Reconciling as to what I have done for the past whole year of 365 days, i feel now that a year is just not enough for me, I have tons of stuff i wish i had did, but did had the guts to do so... guts or courage?

Everyone always wish if they can have the ability to turn back time, to undo or redo or just do the things they have wanted to do, I have always pondered on the term of "what-if" ... there like a milion "what-ifs" on my mind at any given time.

To me pictures and my blog is a great way to "go back to the times" its like going down memory lane, thats what blogs are for rite ... Remembering all the good and bad times i had, those who were there when i needed them, those who were never there when we need them! Friends i have made along the way! great friends and not to mention the bad ones too ...

Hmmm i guess this is just some "pre-new year" syndrome ...

Should i say most Klang chinese are pork lovers? Yeah i think they are. Me and ellicks was rounding the Klang city for some bak kut teh, as we believed there are might be some which operated at night, as it is very popular to have bak kut teh as breakfast, so out of the norm, we tried lookin for bak kut teh at 11PM.

This is a stall by the roadside we found somewhere near the Klang Systematic college, the rice was very fluffy as it calrose, or normal rice with some glutinous rice, but most probably is calrose, the kind u makke sushi with, its very filling! We were given packets of teas, to make our teas, with hot water pot boiling just behind us, the Bak Kut Teh is kinda different too as the soup is very thick, has a body to it, feels like the sauce from "braised port knucles". Was nice except that the meat was kinda on the fatty side and very big pieces were served.

THe weird thing here is that, they do not have minced garlic, KL likes garlic, but why klang does'nt ... hmmm and the weirdest part was that if u have not already noticed, they serve the rice in plates, what the ... should'nt the rice be in a bowl, well, that was the weirdest part of all ... cost us RM22 with the tea and everything.

Who says middle age women are not sexy? at least not this wan, as i was working at this warehouse sales, helping my friend out, i always see those aunties come and shop wan ... this nice ass belongs to one of them, this "tai tai" or madam should i address them. Her looks so so only la .. but her ass, wasai! can beat any 20 year old chick anytime, anywhere man! see how tight it is, and she has two childs ... somewhere around 10 and 14 years old.

I would put my bet that she is somewhere early thirties or early forties ... this was taken on a phone cam ... lil blur, all was snipe shots, as her daughter was watchin, the daughter will think - "What is this guy doing with a phone pointed to my mom's butt?" This is the "Ass of the Week" to me ... or no, she is in the "Aunty Category" .. so she is the best! hahaha

I have been part-timing for my mate Ellicks, the bridegroom of my previous post, in Klang, so we had the opportnity to go see some places people go to at nite, earlier tonite we were lost and we found this place - Starpisces, we were suppose to settled our dinner at this mamak stall which was similiar to Stevens Corner, with lotsa chicks, i do mean a lot, Klang does has a lot of chick, the place we got lost is somehow Taman Eng Ann, as me and Ellicks agreed on as we lots of shops name after "Eng Ann" - Klinik Eng Ann, Pasarraya Eng Ann, Pharmacy Eng Ann ... haha

This place we saw later on, had more chicks so we had to settle down here ... made our order as we snipe around as the place was very full of chicks, and its like Halo Cafe or Feeling as there were live singing session ... chicks abundant and great food, I ordered the Sweet, Sour and Spicy chicken which turn out to be "Kung Po Chicken" and Ellicks ordered Ngirin Noodle with Ham and Egg, turn out to be Maggi Mee ... Haha, Hong Kong Style wo ... This is my first food blog ... enjoy! Today is my last day in Klang, woo hoo more chicks sniping!

As we were heading back to Cheras, we were using the Federal highway,when we reached the Section 1 - Shah Alam juntion , we had this "fucking driver" encounter, we were travelling in the fast lane .. very fast i say around 140km/h then this Waja car which was infront like 100f all of the fucking suddenlly this Waja braked and made us brake like hell too, no it was not once, it was thrice, Ellicks was pissed off, we made a swerve to the first lane and overtook some cars and swerve back in to the fast lane, but now was in front of that waja, Ellicks made some jam-brake in front of the guy and proceed to drive at 80km/h in front of that Waja, the Waja then flashed his light and tried to overtake us, all was blocked by Ellicks, until we reach the Batu Tiga toll, this was some pictures i took of the fucker, now i know its hard to take pics in a car at 160km/h with lotsa swerving going on ... after the toll we stopped and see if the car still wanna go on ... Nope he did'nt ... Oh yeah my friend was driving a cefiro 3.0 ... Waja, smell that? fumes ... haha

I am not really sure if this was candid or posed, but anything can happen with Leong ... haha

I found "Hong Yeh"'s website by sheer coincidence, at his friendsters profile. Wonder why we call him "Hong Yeh"? "Hong" is his name, "Yeh" is like "Grandpa" as in the utmost respect way of address ... So he's Hong Yeh! Hong was my college mate since diploma all the way to High Dip, very very quiet guy, but when he speaks, that'll be the frekiest funny joke or line u have ever heard ... hmmmseems to be a weird match - quiet but funny! Haha


Thats me on the chair, Jack on top of me, Thai on top of Jack, and Hong Yeh on the top most ... Idiots on a chair!

I did'nt even knew he was blogging ... hmmm its kinda nice to find some of your classmates blog, its like we've found a place for us to get an update on what the hell they have been doing lately ...

So I am proud to bring you, "Hong Yeh"'s blog! Its here ...

I am down, down as in being down, i am at the lowest point of my life, i am unsure of what i am doing everyday. I've become a zombie, according to my mom - "my days are the nights and my nights are the days". I wake up at 4 or 5 pm non-failing everyday, proceeds to grab something to bite on, take a bath, then gets online, all the way to 10pm watch some tvs and get back online again up to the wee hours like now. The problem is that i am doing nothing, besides some lame chat and posting in forums. I am not getting anything done, i have a coursework which dues on the 28 this month and my supervisor meeting is on the 4th next month, where i have to show him my works. I just can't get any work done!

I am somehow baffled on what i should be doing, i would keep myself doing nothing, thats all i do everyday, nothing! When i have the mood to get some work done, i would drift away on something else but this is not the worst part ... the worst part is sometimes i ask myself why am i still studying, what make me feel like studying when i am just plain lazy. If i remembered i was'nt like this when i started studying. back then i had this urge to complete my studies no mater what come upon me, but then as time passes by, the will to study just fades away into oblivion. The flame is just gone.

So why am i studying when all my friends are working and getting paid when i am still here studying surviving on hand-outs from my mom? this is very puzzling, mayb its because i wanna have a better paying job? or maybe i wanna make my parents proud by being a graduate? Sometimes when i tell them how well i did in my exams, i can still see the glow in their looks as if as their 12 year old kid aced some math exams.

I'm like a burden now, evethough my parents have not been financially supporting my studies as i have my loans to take care of that but nevertheless they are still supporting my daily needs. I've been studying for the past 3 years and my parents have been my benefactors for the pass 3 years. I would never have to ask, my mom would just know when i am all strapped up and i'll see some notes on my table the next day. I stil have another 2 modules to finish and like 5 exams to write, till then i am still just leeching. i'm practically a leech eating, living, partying off my parents ...I just don't know what i came back studying ... at times this seems to be some wrong choice i made along the way.

Well I like it very much, though this might make me squint my eyes more when i'm viewing it ... i think you guys might be squinting too right now. muahahahaha

Yeah as usual, I have not get any school work done, my coursework remains at 0% progress, and my finaly year project has not been touched since my last meeting 2 weeks ago, that means i have totally screwed up and entire 14 days doing nothing, and here i am on my blog ... hmmm isn' t this world a great and nice place to be in for a lazy bum like me ...

The one and only song which does not belongs to my playlist but i keep on humming ...

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

For a poor student like me who rely primarily on public transport, how many hours do you think i spent on commuting every day? Say i go for my classes, i'm takin the star lrt, i would walk to the station and that takes like 10 minutes, then if i'm lucky enough and i do not have toowait for a train, then that'll take me 25 minutes to reach KL, then another 10 minutes walk from the station to my school ... that a total of 45 minutes! two way and it sums up to 1 and a half hour everyday ...

If i were to take a bus, which cost me half the price of lrt, it will be be worst, thats a 1 hour trip to and from ... thats if, if the roads are so "unjam" or else it will be like 1 1/2 hour to and from ...

What if, i said if, one day we would not have to commute, we just beam ourselves, say this machine which we have in our home, which beams us anywhere, yeah exacly like those in Star Trek ... am i crazy? where did i get tstpid ideas like this? nah, just that i get bored when i'm stucked in a jam inside a bus driven by an insane driver from hell!

Beam me there Spocky!
