Did anyone catch the NST ads on TV3 during Buletin Utama's break?

I tought papers generates its revenue thru advertising, now they advertise to increase the sales.

Isn't it ironic?

Lawatan Ke Tongod - Penangah -Sg. Kinabatangan

2006-03-09T10:01:00.000+08:00

(Dari signage ini, drive selama 1 1/2 jam lagi untuk sampai ke pejabat daerah. Cayalah)

Daerah Tongod merupakan daerah terbesar di Sabah dengan keluasan 3550 batu persegi = 9194 km persegi (17498 km2 jika termasuk kinabatangan). Tujuan lawatan adalah untuk mengenalpasti kerosakan akibat banjir di Kinabatangan baru-baru ini. Pejabat telah menghantar seramai 5 wakil bersama-sama 3 land cruiser untuk menyertai rombongan ini.

(Jalan gravel sahaja, no R&R and no toilet. Rombongan ini turut disertai oleh YB, PWD sandakan, District Office Tongod, Forestry Dept. dan tidak ketinggalan Jpp KK)

Hari pertama 02.03.06. Perjalanan start seawal 5 pagi dari Kota Kinabalu, sampai Telupid jam 10 pagi. Minum dulu sementara menunggu YB sampai (jam 11.15 pg). Kami pigi beli makanan dulu.

(Konvoi masuk hutan dan pedalaman. Lebih kurang macam 4x4 Camel Throphy Challenge)

Jabatan bertanggungjawab dikehendaki mengenalpasti kemudahan awam yang telah rosak untuk diperbaiki.

(Tanah runtuh akibat hujan lebat. En. Amir mencadangkan agar satu flyover dibina di sini dengan segera)

Tanah runtuh akibat hujan lebat. Jalan probase yang dibina kurang dari setahun yang lalu kini jatuh ke dasar bumi akibat pembalakan berlebihan. Apakah sifat kerakusan manusia ini harus dibiarkan pihak berkuasa? Di manakah silapnya sehingga keselamatan penduduk kampung diabaikan begitu sahaja? Harap punya harap, jangan sampai meniarap. Karam Singh Walia, Buletin Utama, TV3. (hehehe, apa macam. Ada gaya karam singh ka ayat saya ni???????)

(YB sedang memeriksa tahap kerosakan jambatan balak ini)

YB Johnny Intang (ADUN N. 47 Kuamut BN - UPKO) sedang berusaha untuk memastikan rakyat kawasannya mendapat menikmati pembangunan seperti di lain-lain kawasan di Sabah.

(Sekolah ini terpaksa menerima makanan yang dihantar dengan helikopter TUDM kerana jambatan (gambar sebelum ini) yg menghubungkan kawasan ini telah runtuh dilanda banjir baru-baru ini)

Jika secara kebetulan terdapat sebuah peta Sabah atau atlas, sila lihat di tengah-tengah peta itu. Pinangah terletak betul-betul di center Sabah. Jarak perjalanan dari Telupid - Penangah mengambil masa antara 2 hingga 3 jam. (Itupun jika anda tidak sesat).

Penulis berkesempatan untuk menikmati makan malam di kantin SMK itu dan terima kasih diucapkan kepada tuan pengetua dan para guru kerana sudi menjadi host kepada kami.

(Penulis terlupa nak bawa tuala dan sabun mandi, semalan setakat mandi kerbau je, masa mula-mula nak datang, ingatkan nak tinggal kat hotel.)

Rumah rehat Tongod yang terletak ditengah-tengah Borneo utara ini merupakan satu-satunya rumah rehat yang ada.. Jika anda bandingkan sekiranya anda berada di KL. Rumah rehat ini adalah setaraf dengan Mandarin Oriental. Hotel 4 bintang terdekat yang adalah khemah yang kena bawa sendiri.

(Penulis bersama-sama wakil dari jpp sandakan)

Gambar ini sengaja dihitam-putihkan untuk menampakkan kesan yang nostalgic sekali, sekaligus mencerminkan kehebatan saya dalam arena seni grafik tanahair dan juga untuk menimbulkan rasa syahdu kepada alam sekelilingnya.

(Penulis sedang gigih menjalankan tugas)

Hari kedua 03.03.06 di Sg. Kinabatangan. Antara kawasan yang teruk dilanda banjir.

Ahli-ahli entourage kali ini (L-R) YB Johnny (6 dr kiri), DO Tongod, wakil jpp sandakan + wakil JKM (berpelukan), wakil jpp kk, dan yang paling hensem sekali Penulis (kanan sekali)

Acara kemuncak pada hari berkenaan. Gambar beramai-ramai atas jambatan.

(Air sungai Kinabatangan ini naik hampir sehingga ke melepasi pokok ini. Warna coklat pada pokok ini menunjukkan aras air telah naik sampai sana. 9 keluarga terpaksa dipindahkan kerana air naik sehingga paras bumbung rumah mereka)

Air yang tenang jangan disangka takkan banjir. Penulis juga ada dengar khabar angin yang menyatakan kawasan sini ada "NGAP". Kawan baik dan sedara mara Bujang Senang.

Inilah keadaan selepas banjir. Kayu balak berselerak dan ternakan semua mati. Rombongan kali ini berakhir setelah semua pelusuk Tongod telah dijelajah. Kini tiba masanya untuk balik KK. Jumpa lagi di masa dan lawatan yang akan datang.

Leading Ideas: Culture Drives Success

2005-11-24T10:31:00.000+08:00

"I came to see in my time at IBM that 'culture' isn't just one aspect of the game - it is the game." -- Lou Gerstner (1942- ) Former IBM CEO, credited with its turnaround Last week, a colleague was venting some frustrations about a project at her company. She'd been working on a culture change initiative for 6 months and didn't feel like she was getting much traction. When I asked her how much input she'd been getting from the executive team, she said very little. Then she started to defend them by saying they were too busy - until she caught herself. "I guess that's the problem," she smiled. "The executives being 'too busy' to focus on people issues is how we ended up in this situation in the first place." - Bingo.

Something to consider: Culture is your organization's DNA - the blueprint for everything you do. To be better at innovating - your culture must expect and foster innovation. To improve customer satisfaction - your culture must expect and foster great service. Great leaders realize this. They know that "culture" isn't a single item on a task list. And it can't be delegated to a committee. It's all encompassing. It's the real work - and legacy - of leaders. Something to try: Consider the team/group/organization you're leading *1.* Look at your vision/mission statement and jot down the behaviors that everyone supposedly follows. *2.* On a second list jot down the behaviors that everyone actually follows. *3.* Pick the one discrepancy that annoys you the most. *4.* Make it a top priority to change it. *5.* Have a conversation with colleagues on why each of you think the discrepancy exists. *6.* Agree on some structures to put in place to ensure that change happens (communication, processes, rewards etc). Question: How do you foster a culture of success at your organization?

Fiancee and AirAsia

2005-09-21T16:55:00.000+08:00

What the fuck is wrong with girls (and Airasia). KNNCCB. Ok, it started off like this;

Yesterday, one innnocent young man log into AirAsia.com searching for the cheapest fares to Kota Kinabalu but decide not to purchase any because he feels that he need to think about how many days he shall take his annual leave. Then later today, when he revisit AirAsia.com today, he was damn shock to see the fares went up from RM 139.99 one way to RM 409.99 one way. KNNCCB.

With sad feeling he call his dear fiancee to tell her that he can't make it to KK next month because the fares suddenly shoot up like the global oil-price. With displeased voice, he knew that his fiancee is so dissapointed to hear the sad news as they are looking forward to attend the compulsary 2 days wedding course in KK. After few hour, this innocent young man feeling guilty because he can't make his fiancee happy. So with nothing to do, he browse thru today's The Star. Then he saw this Airasia advertisement on page 3, bottom right saying "Air-fucking-asia, now everyone can fly, 80% discount, all destination, all seat, all flights, book now"..

KNNCCB again he said, "how can this be, I just browse airasia.com and the fares are Rm 409.99 one way to KK?" "80% discount your head la". Then furiously, this young man call the nationwide call centre.

Young man: Hello air asia, itu fares pergi KK, berapa la? Itu paper tulis 80% tapi saya tengok dalam itu internet dia tulis RM 409.99 one way. Mana ada discount?

Agent: Oooo, itu belum diskaun lagi la, you klik dulu mana flight u mau, nanti dia auto kasi diskaun. Flight pergi-balik KK RM 244.00. Bila u mau pergi?

Young man: Ooo, ya ka, apasal dia tarak tulis sana itu internet, lepas klik baru ada diskaun. Bikin susah saja. Kalu itu macam saya beli online la.

Agent: Thank you. (put down the phone)

So, after receiving confirmation that Airasia is giving 80% discount, he straight away bought 2 tickets online pergi-balik to KK departing on 13th Oct returning 17th Oct. Then he call his dear fiancee to tell her the good news. And the response that he get from his fiancee.

Fiancee: Alaaaa, why you didnt tell me earlier, I oredi pass the church and didnt register for the kursus

Young man: pause for a while (feeling god damn angry because his kindness and the spirit to visit his fiancee all being swept in the drain of sadness and for having a fiancee who only did not appreciate what he is trying to do but instead was given a moody tone).

Then he end the call feeling so fuck up. KNNCCB. What is wrong with girls? He hate his fiancee at this moment.

P/s: I think partially is Air Asia's fault too. Don't you think so?????

This kinda remind me of my fiancee

2005-09-21T11:44:00.000+08:00

This kinda remind me of my fiancee

I like it when my fiancee did this to me. Maybe should remind her to do it more often. So did you like what you see?

My brother-in-law's wedding (Part 1)

2005-09-09T11:28:00.000+08:00

27 August 2005 telah memperlihatkan bersatunya sepasang kekasih yang seorangnya bernama Si Arthur yang hensem dan manakala pasangnya bernama Si Faye yang cantik rupawan. Sememangnya mereka berdua bagaikan merpati 2 sejoli yang mampu membelah pinang menjadi dua.

Dengan perancangan yang teliti selama berbulan-bulan lamanya. Akhirnya Arthur dan Faye selamat mengucapkan "I Have", "I Will" dan "I Do" di gereja Sacred Heart KK; dimana kerani yang bekerja gereja tersebut tersangatlah eksyen dan tersangatlah sombong. Cilaka punya orang.

Terdapat beberapa acara yang perlu disertai oleh Arthur. Contohnya mandi darah babi la, sembahyang Rosemary la (Butul ka ejaan dia) then banyak lagi la yang ganjil-ganjil. Semuanya 1st time sia tingu. Hehehee. Siok juga la dapat jadi Bestman lagi. Gila-gila ba diorang ni. Funny and interesting.

Minum punya pasal

Orang dusun memang kuat minum la. Itu suda confirm. Gila-gila ba diaorang minum. Carlsberg sia buli tahan lagi, tapi yang paling sia inda tahan montoku tu ba. Gila eh. Itu hari ada satu auntie kasi sia minum time sia sedang menari di tengah tengah dewan, tendang balik ba tu beer sampai mo ter"refill" balik tu gelas. Tapi sia ok lagi. Si Selvam ba yang suda refill 2 1/2 gelas. Hehehehe. Itu baru la.

Lepas tu time suda abis acara di dewan tu, Diaorang sambung lagi di rumah si Faye. Arthur time itu suda kena angkut masuk bilik. Mabuk suda, gara-gara Si Terry dan Richard yang kasi mabuk abang sendiri. Di sana sia nasib baik balik awal. Tu orang yang duduk sanaaaa belakang start suda mo panggil saya minum air tajau. Budu o tu orang. Nasib dapat escape balik Kg Kondis. Hehehee. Misti tu orang blur blur mo cari sia.

Lelaki Paling Seksi dari Kg Kondis. Lihat saja otot-otot sasa di dadanya dan kegebuan kakinya yang tiada berbulu

Mama mertua Si Faye, Bapa Mertua Si Faye dan Adik Ipar Si Faye

Kenapa muka ko begitu le? Memang malang lelaki yang menjadi tunangnya

Arthur bilang: Alamak!!! Lain kali kalu sia mo main PS2, kena tapuk-tapuk la ni kan. Kalau inda kena tarik telinga. Faye bilang: Hehehehehehehehe. This time sia buli control Arthur suda. 1st thing sia mo buat ialah kasi buang PS2 jauh-jauh. Hehehehehee. (sambil senyum keseronokan memikirkan reaksi Arthur apabila PS2nya dibuang ke sawah depan rumah)

Alangkah bagusnya kalu Arthur kasi sia dia punya PS2.

Wajah hensem Arthur trus berubah apabila status PS2 nya dipersoalkan

Arthur dan Faye telah bergelar suami-isteri

Semoga berbahagia ke anak cucu.... Mummy tanya bila dia buli jadi nenek. Heheheheheeee...... Soalan ini turut ditujukan kepada Maid Of Honor. Hehehehe.

I love thee, I love but thee With a love that shall not die Till the sun grows cold And the stars grow old. ~ by Willam Shakespeare ~

Differences Between Women and Men

2005-09-07T15:43:00.000+08:00

1.NAMES

If Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara go out for lunch, they will call each other Laurie, Lindy, Lizzie and Barbs.

If Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Si Gomok, Orang Utan, Peanut-Head and Scrappy. 2.EATING OUT

When the bill arrives, Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom will each throw in a $20, even though it's only for $12.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the women get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. 3.MONEY

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. 4.BATHROOMS

A man has five items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Hilton.

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify most of these items. 5.ARGUMENTS

A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that... is the beginning of a new argument. 6.CATS

Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

7.FUTURE

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. 8.SUCCESS

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man. 9.MARRIAGE

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does. 10.DRESSING UP

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone,read a book, and get the mail.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. 11. NATURAL

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night. 12. OFFSPRING

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. 13.THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Controversy Yasmin Ahmad

2005-08-16T13:54:00.000+08:00

Saya mengaku walaupun Yasmin Ahmad membuat kenyataannya yang kurang senang, tetapi saya masih lagi menyokong penuh tindakan Yasmin untuk tidak mempertandingkan filemnya dan segala kritikannya terhadap semua pihak yang terbabit. Bukan sebab dia diugut atau apa. Tetapi berlandaskan kepada sikap Kementerian yg berkenaan yg tidak mempertahankan kemenangan filem Sepet dalam FFM 18 yg lalu dan juga tidak mempertahankan Sepet daripada terus dikritik oleh Sang Raja yg tidak dihormati. Saya cuma terkilan kenapa tiada seorang pun yang tampil untuk mempertahankan Yasmin ketika beliau diserang oleh Raja Azmi? Kenapa Kementerian itu tidak menyokong penuh kemenangan Sepet? Kenapa Menteri dan pengeluar filem lain pertikaikan tindakan Yasmin untuk tidak mempertandingkan FFM sedangkan ianya tidak mendapat sokong penuh Kementerian dan mereka-mereka itu yang rata-rata yang rasa PGL lah yang patut menang FFM 18? Semua ini bullshit. Yasmin Ahmad hanyalah membuat kenyataan balas setelah orang lain membuat kenyataan terhadap beliau dahulu. Walaupun dakwaan sesetengah pihak seperti Mansur Puteh yang menyatakan:

“Sepet tidak hebat, Puteri Gunung Ledang (PGL) juga tidak hebat. Saya pertikai juri sebab saya tidak fikir Sepet boleh menang. Secara logik, PGL layak menang Filem Terbaik. Kita tengok saja, filem mana yang ada elemen sinematik, PGL atau Sepet? Sepet macam sebuah telemovie, PGL lebih kelihatan sebuah filem.” Dan juga Syed Mohd Hassan - “Kita lupa pada budaya bangsa sendiri yang tergadai. Sepet bukan sebagai bahan hiburan semata-mata, ia filem biasa yang diterjemah dalam komposisi shot yang mengangkat unsur perkauman tetapi realitinya tidak begitu. Jangan kita ambil unsur remeh dalam kehidupan dijadikan inti cerita, ia merosakkan budaya secara halus.” Tetapi bagi saya, Sepet tetap sebuah filem yang hebat daripada PGL. Benarkan saya untuk membuat kenyataan ini daripada perspektif saya. Saya seorang warga Malaysia berketurunan Cina yang biasa (i.e. bukan anak datuk, tan sri dan sbgnya), bersekolah melayu di salah sebuah sekolah di utara. Tidak tahu apa-apa mengenai filem, Cuma tahu menonton sahaja. Filem yang Yasmin cukup membuatkan saya berasa saya ini adalah bangsa Malaysia yang sebenarnya. Realiti sebenar keadaan di Malaysia ditonjolkan (walaupun tidak sepenuhnya) oleh Yasmin. Kita harus sedar, Puteri Gunung Ledang hanyalah sebuah lagenda manakala Sepet adalah realiti (Saya juga tonton PGL tapi tak dapat apa-apa pengajaran dan kesedaran pun). Adakah kita mahukan Malaysia dipotretkan sebagai sesuatu yang hanya berlandaskan lagenda? Kenapa tak remake semula kisah Hang Tuah? Adakah Hang Tuah tu cina dan pasal tu la korang taknak buat? Filem Sepet adalah filem baik berbanding mana-mana filem lain di Malaysia. Saya tidak mungkin lagi menonton lain-lain filem Melayu lagi selain arahan Yasmin. Sepet menang award di peringkat antarabangsa kerana mesejnya lebih mendalam dan mencerminkan perasaan seseorang pengarah. Memang benar kata pepatah yang menyatakan “Kita ni hanyalah jaguh kampung”. Dengan mempertikaikan kemenangan Sepet di Malaysia bermaksud juri yang memenangkan Sepet dalam filem festival antarabangsa adalah orang yang paling bodoh dalam dunia perfileman. Macam mana filem Malaysia nak bertanding di peringkat antarabangsa? Patutlah selalu kalah, jaguh kampung katakan!

Gol And Gincu Review

2005-08-15T13:57:00.000+08:00

I just watched Gol and Gincu last Friday at Mid Valley around 2.20pm. I know I ponteng kerja but shhhhh!!. Kantoi, Hehehe. And the movie is not bad, you know for a Malaysian movie. Jeffooi’s partial review intrigues me after reading his recommendation on his blog. Therefore, I go and watch based on what Mr. Jeff said. Things that I learn from that movie: 1) Don’t underestimate the power of a girly girl. A shy girl causes more emotional damage than a brutal girl does. 2) Never ever date a cute guy cause they will dump you at the end. Like Ashraf said: “Lepas 10 tahun nanti, I dah boring dengan you, u nak I kahwin satu lagi macam bapak I”. 3) I had enough of coke, adidas and hotlink. 4) Rafidah can write cool screenplay. 5) Maureen’s boobs are so damn hugeeeeee… 6) Finally, Jeffooi makes me ponteng kerja. Damn.

That’s all folks, I’m waiting for Gubra to make its appearance in our local cinema. Can Ungu Violet compete with our local films? I don’t know maybe can kot. But I’m sure that I’ll buy Raja Azmi’s anak-anak sidek bullshit and trash it on my blog. So wait ya… I’m gonna make another review soon.

Will the real party goer please stand up!

2005-08-11T03:30:00.000+08:00

Check her out man. http://www.laineylashes.com/ I mean gosh. I really wish that my friends can be so fucking cool. I remember the last time we used to hang out together was in Pulau Manukan (Off KK). Itu pun takat barbecue and makan-makan. No sex, alcohol and drugs. My life sucks. My manukan entry is being shut down for a while. Will be upload in next few days.

Real party with loads of alcohol. Damn.

I wish my future hangout session is full with chicks. Hehehehe.

I wish my boring friends are this sporting and fun. Ok maybe they're fun but not that crazy. I want fun and outrageously crazy.

Whaoooo... This i like this one very much. To all my blardy friends. Dare you take the challenge? Stan5088 wish to extend his sincere thanks to lainey @ http://www.laineylashes.com/ for allowing me to reproduce and republish her photos in this entry.

Part Time Server At Channel Dance Club

2005-08-05T16:48:00.000+08:00

Part Time Server at Channel Dance Club I started to work as server in a club call Channel Dance Club formerly known as Warp Disco. Within 2 months, I get bored and resigned unofficially from that fuckup club. No reasons given, I just left like that and not answering phone. Environment There is no cover charge to enter the club but you can purchase your drinks at the entrance if you choose not to order from the server (waiter eventually been replaced with server and it is not like the computer server though). The price of the drinks varies from RM 13++ for a mug of beer till RM 390++ for a bottle of 70cl liquor) Tiger is the main supplier together with Heineken, Kampai, Tsing Tao and Guinness Stout. While liquor such as Hennessey and Chivas serves those rich and regular customer who wanted to look cool and to flash their wealth. The club employs GRO or fondly being call-‘clubbing girl’ (both mean the same thing). Their job is to take orders as often as possible and pass their order to server. In return, they will earn commission on sales that they generate. Each girl has her own number and the servers will note on the bill. Some of the girls will ask her other fellow clubbing girl to join in to drink. Most customers find that rather annoying, as they will ask them to buy more drinks once the drinks finish. Salary for part timers is RM 5 per hour and working hours usually from 10pm till 3am. They server keeps the tips according to the management policies, but I find that had not benefited to the part timers as we have to compete with permanent staff for the tips. Customers had the tendency to call permanent full timers, as they are more familiar with them. Ordering drinks using cards called “Micros” system is good that it disable all staff to cheat/hanky panky or in hokkien ‘cho kha chiu’. This “micros” system is creatively invented in such that no one had the chance to perform any hanky-panky stuff. The following will reveal how “micros” works. 1. Take order from customer 2. Swipe Micros at machine, key in drinks (1 Jug Tiger), press print check, 2 check printed 3. Take the checks (not a receipt) to the bar to take your Jug Beer. Give one of the check to bar tender. 4. Drinks (jug) to the customer, flash the other check to customer for payment. 5. Take money and check to cashier, Cashier will give you the balance (if any) together with receipt. 6. Balance of money and receipt back to the customer Music Canto pop, heavy techno with trip-hop as break is the sound coming out from 1000-watt loudspeaker. The club uses a pair of CDJ1000 Cd player and DJM600 Mixer. Equipments are from Pioneer. They are four Djs in the house. Three Chinese and one Indian, all sucks. Do not expect R&B, hip-hop and top 40 in this club but for ‘feng tau’ kakis, this is the place to be seen. Popular music – Groove Coverage. Staff Our clubbing employment staff are mostly pengkid a.k.a tomboy and ah kua a.k.a transvestite. I shit you not. At my work place, I think at least 50% of the full time staff consists of pengkid (people with no breast) and there is one part time staff whose real name is Richard but act like a girl (chick with dick). I mean, man! I got nothing against them but what the fuck is happening in this world. I've seen older man with young lady, older women going clubbing like mad, "feng tau" kids doing their shit in front of a 1000watt 1m diameter loudspeaker, people puking all over the place but these pengkid and ah kua are the saddest of all. Patronage/ Customers Older generation dominated the club dance floor! That should be the tagline for the club, as apeks a.k.a Ah Beng and young Chinese kids with stylomilo punk'd and pink hairstyle taking over the dance floor. The club is frequented by those 40 and above with a small population of kiddo who I think has not complete secondary school yet. Negative Side Last Saturday not so long ago, Bukit Aman's Narcotic Police team raided Channel Dance Club and at least 50 people were in the club still partying hard. When people started rushing out from the club we knew this time, it was not a hoax played by some dude. 24 police officers and 3 dogs were seen guarding the entrance and the exit. The staff luckily enough as the police officers make dunno to the staff. Me and other part-timer were ask to leave the workplace by a senior and we just blah from the scene as the police were busy conducting urine test. I’m not sure how many people were send to the station. Then on my way back, I stop by a burger stall somewhere near Backroom, located at the end of Jalan Raja Laut. 1 prado, 2 land cruiser, an ambulance and 1 Black Maria suddenly stop by the roadside and RELA member were seen rushing into the club. Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara's staff also seen at the site, I think last Saturday was a RAID day. Not so long ago, I remember watching Malaysia Top Host on Tv3 where the contestants in that show participate in an assignment ala 999. 2 of them followed KL police contingent and they raided the club. Luckily, I was not there when all that happens. The moral is; don’t work in places prone to drugs and police raid. I strongly advice all.

Makna Disebalik Kata-kata Perempuan

Sepet: Filem terbaik 2005??

Saya tak tahu apa kena dengan Raja Azmi tu. Statement yang dia buat tu ntah apa-apa. But I really really pity Yasmin for what she had not done. She should have hit back at that stupid penolong setiausaha PFM for making a remarkable stupid statement.

Saya setuju jika dibandingkan dengan PGL. Sepet itu hanyalah sebuah filem yang taklah seberapa dari segi kos pembikinannya. Tapi impak yang dijana oleh Sepet jauh lebih baik daripada PGL. Some of my friends might not appreciate Sepet but that is the most fascinating malay film I ever seen.

Dipetik daripada Utusan Malaysia 24/07/2005

*Raja Azmi sibuk menghubungi beberapa wartawan menyatakan rasa tidak puas hatinya bila Sepet diangkat sebagai Filem Terbaik.Ada yang hairan apa perlunya Raja Azmi berbuat sedemikian, malah tak kurang yang bertanya apa hak dia untuk buat kenyataan sedemikian rupa.``Bagus sangat ke filem Raja Azmi sebelum ini?'' tanya mereka.

stan5088 bilang: Raja Azmi memang tak sedar diri.

Simple Guide To Kick Your Housemate Out

2005-07-12T11:30:00.000+08:00

Starring: · Hero 1 - Ah Chai · Hero 2 - Kumar · Hero 3 - Zamri · Hero 4 – Ah Rhee · Villain – Sally ‘the bitch’ Hadi 1. Bang your music as loud as possible. Yeah! You heard it right. If you happen to have a pair of Philips speaker, a Technics amplifier and a computer, plug it in and play it out loud. Pintu bilik Hero4 pernah diketuk oleh Villain (Malay bitch) itu untuk suruh dia memperlahankan lagu Groove Coverage “God Is a Girl”. Tidak lama lepas tu, ada mamat India Hero2 tu pulak kadang-kadang pasang lagu techno yang bassnya agak kuat dan pada waktu malam pulak tu, maklum la kalau subwoofer dah besar. Suatu pagi, Villain itu pun tampal satu notis kat pintu depan dengan bertulis “Can you please slow down your thumping bass, I want to sleep” tanpa menulis ditujukan kepada siapa. Hero2 ni pula nampak la, lepas tu dia koyak dan tampal notis baru yang bertulis “Fuck You”. Kesimpulannya, if you want to annoy the hell out of your Villain housemate. Play your music loud. 2. Park your car inconsiderately. Untuk memendekkan cerita yang panjang; rumah tu ada la tempat parking tapi disebabkan parking, Hero4 yang biasanya baik hati dan kiut ni boleh gaduh dengan Villain tu. Sampai ‘macibai’ pun boleh terkeluar. 3. Wash your clothes at 2.00am (Yes, in the morning) Ada sorang mamat chinese ni (Hero1), cuci kain jam 2 pagi. Lepas tu, entah kenapa dan tiba-tiba malay bitch ni pi maki Hero1 yang cuci kain lama-lama dan tidak pandai-pandai siap. Yes, the Malay bitch (villain) actually makes a scene in 2am just because that Hero1 use the bathroom too long. Hero4 was sleeping when he overheard both of them testing their debate skill. 4. Take your shower for 45 minutes or more during morning rush hour. Hero3 ni kerja jam 7. Shift pagi so biasa la mandi jam 6.15 am. Ada ka dia dok syok syok mandi, malay bitch (villain) ni ketuk pintu bathroom suruh Hero3 ni keluar cepat sikit. Then pada hari yang lain, malay bitch ni pula mandi setengah jam dan tak reti-reti nak keluar lagi. 5. Tell stories bout her to the property owner. Yang ni biasa la, apa yang pelik ialah pertanyaan landlord kepada hero4 mengenai perempuan gila buat hal? Sial betul, rupa-rupanya dah ada orang cucuk tu landlord dengan cerita cerita sensasi kat rumah. So Hero4 cuma boleh menambahkan cerita yang sedia ada, if someone already tell his story about sembilu part 1, then my story most probably about sembilu part 2. Same ‘actress’ but a story with a bit more image damaging effect to the villain we’re badmouthing. 6. Swear at each other. Hero1 dah keluarkan ‘cibai’, ‘puki’ dan ‘lancau’. Hero3 pula restraint himself to convict any profanity while Hero2 just uttered ‘pa si mak siau’. And recent fiasco (20/06/2005) involving our rooms and kitchen area turn into open space swimming pool sparks another adhoc committee, attended by all members of parliament (Lim Kit Siang, Ong Ka Ting, Pak Lah and Samy Vellu) excluding the suspended wanita UMNO who was found guilty of letting the water run loose intentionally. (Any similarity to our political character is pure co-incident) 7. Kick her out from the house. Like Pak Lah said, wanita UMNO has to be suspended because breach of BN spirits and parliament front line code of ethics. Yang DiPertuan Agong (property owner) decided to impose kick-her-out-from-the-house indefinitely meaning no fucking way she is come back into this house.
