Funny little thing

As he was walking down the path..

At 5.45pm, a short message came into his phone. He checked the message:

"RM20.00 was successfully reloaded into your account."

He looked left and right, scratched his head and confused. He was walking down the lane and suddenly, RM20.00 was reloaded into his phone out of no where. Funny, so he took out his laptop and checked who did such a kind deed but in vain.


Happy, happy, he skidded and hopped along the path.

[Time tickling]
...

...

...
[Time stopped]

At 7.20pm, someone phoned with weird number. He took out his phone and answered it.

CH : "Hello!"

Kind Soul : "Hello, who's this?"

[He was stunned, what the heck with phone communication nowadays? People phoned you and asked who are you? Where is the logic?]

[I was 50% annoyed but still calm.]

CH : "Hmm, who are you looking for?"

Kind Soul : "Hmm, actually just now I accidentally reload my credit to your phone so can you
transfer credit to my phone?" "Sorry - ah, sorry -ah!"

CH : [at a state of confusion] "Hmm, how do I transfer RM20 to your phone?"

Kind Soul : "Oh, simple only, just like normal transfer or reload, just type in my phone!"

CH : "I don't know how to do it!"

Kind Soul : "Maybe you go to a phone shop and ask them to do it. Just RM20 only. Sorry -ah,
sorry -ah!"

CH : [?????] "Okay, I try my best-lar." [evil grinned]

Kind Soul : "Thank you and very sorry!"

CH : Okay, I'll try my best.

[Both hung up]

The moral of the story - Welcome to the world [the caller a woman, it seems]! If you wrongly reload your credit to someone, I bet absolutely no one would willingly return it to you unless he/she your bestfriend whom is just next to you. Furthermore, you do not the location of me and how you so sure that I will return the credit to you? And most of all, you just lost RM20 and you still got the urge to waste more money on calling me with a Maxis number!

"I'm terriby sorry if my words are too rough, vulgar, impolite or rude but this is life! Money money, money!"

"Do you think I would go to the nearest phone shop and ask them to transfer RM20 which will in turn burn my wallet for another RM20 simply for you?"

[I believed you're too naive!]

At the end, he continued eating his lunch "Kung Pao Yu Pin", then he paid for it and returned home for shower.

"Hmm, did someone phone me just now?"

Happy April Fool CEO!

WARNING : CEO be prepared to be gotcha! Happy April Fool Day Devon! This is for you!

Selamat pagi/petang/malam sekalian,

Sekarang tibalah masa kita mengundang CEO ke wawancara "Jalan Jalan Mencari Jodoh". Segment hari ini, CEO akan menceritakan macam mana kita boleh "tackle" perempuan tak kira di tepi jalan raya atau di pub.

Marilah kita bermula:

ISTL : Selamat datang ke segment kita, CEO.

CEO : Sama-sama, dah lama kita tidak berucap ya?

ISTL : Ya. CEO, hari ini kita akan berbincang macam-mana kita boleh ber"tackle" perempuan dalam semua keadaan.

CEO : Cun... no problem... it's my field...

ISTL : Baru-baru ini munculnya banyak chicks di tempat kerja anda, jadi macam-mana anda menangani semua keadaan itu?

CEO : Pertama, saya syoknya dan rasa g-e-m-b-i-r-a skali! Second, kita mesti selalu ber-steadi... steady lar bro...

ISTL : Faham. Harap pembaca sekalian dapat mencontohi CEO... steady is the word

ISTL : Dalam entry anda, anda nyata ada seorang chick datang dekat dan membelai tangan anda. Kenapa anda elak dia?

CEO : Ini isu pride saya lar... tak boleh senang dapat belai...

ISTL : Oh begitu... jadi macam-mana seorang perempuan harus mendekati anda?

CEO : Perempuan itu, bukan setakat belai tangan saya saja. Itu tidak akan beri banyak rangsangan kepada saya. Dia sepatut cium telinga saya sewaktu belai tangan saya. Tambah lagi, saya tidak dapat hidu minyak wangi kesukaan saya. Oleh itu, mungkin dia patut guna minyak wangi Calvin Klein yang terbaru atau DKNY yang terkini.

" ... tidak akan beri banyak rangsangan kepada saya... "

ISTL : Rupanya begitu... kalau perempuan itu, yang anda nyata dalam blog anda, datang lagi dan melakukan apa yang tadi CEO kata... adakah anda akan menerima dia?

CEO : * wink * wink * senyum sipu sipu *

ISTL : Janganlah segan CEO... kita sini semua lelaki... bagitau lah kitorang...

CEO : Pastilah saya akan menerima dia.. dah lama saya sendiri kat atas gegunung ini... harap semua faham keadaan saya di-atas... sunyi... balik rumah sendiri pun tengok balak saja... dvd dan vcd pun dah lama luput... hari ini beli esok dah luput...

ISTL : Ok lah... kita semua faham... saya harap CEO akan dapat cari jodohnya dengan cepat... dan dapat menbasmi kuman sunyi di atas gunung itu...

ISTL : sekian sahaja sampai sini... diharap perempuan dalam blog CEO ada baca ini dan silalah beri lagi satu peluang bagi CEO... kitorang di ISTL juga akan berasa gembira kalau CEO tidak lagi kesunyian di atas gunung itu.

ISTL : Sekian sahaja.. kita jumpa lagi di segmen lain kali... jangan lupa... "Jalan Jalan Mencari Jodoh"...

is sky the limit... "jalan jalan mencari jodoh"...

Marriage, babies, WWW

The question of marriage comes into mind of a few person in one small fellowship of the One Point Eight.

Here were their recent conversation when one of their member was getting married:

At one point,

Me : our parents married young. My mom married at 21.

TC : Yeah, it was early.

Padme : If you get married you will have children and your pay won't be able to sustain your family.

Padme : And I think China is having one child policy right?

Me : Yeah.

TC : Yeah, but getting married you have to think a lot about expenses. Its not cheap.

Me : Yeah. Milk, diapers, cereals, baby shirts, baby socks, cradles, toys, prams, baby chairs. Then when they grow, you got to worry about kindergarten's fees, then primary school fees, eat and drink, vacation, toys, books, uniforms, then college where you will have to pay them for mobile phones, movies, dates, books again, nicer and trendy clothing, watches, saloon, etc... etc...

Padme : *_*" understood... understood

LF and Kerry : * giggling *

TC : not to mention, you have to give ang pau (red packets) during Chinese New Year. Also you won't be getting one either.

Me : * groan * oh yeah... now you remind me that...

Padme : * laugh *

LF and Kerry : * laugh *

TC : Hmmm... that is why i still favour my now good and relaxing single life.

Padme, LF and Kerry : * Laugh *

Me : Eh, don't see marriage as dead end lar... Once you are married, its will become more colorful, exciting and vibrant....

Padme : * laugh *

Me : Maybe you can also use this as a reason to tell your future employers that you got mouths to feed and need increment, cola, kids allowance, benefit and blah blah blah...

Padme : Yeah right...

Me : The more the better... how about 9 to 13... and start a football match?

Padme : Oi...

Alright, the last part i made that up. Marriage is a holy matrimony event that is celebrated between the couple and announce to the WWW. Cool isn't it. Its whole wide world.

I don't care when i get married i will have my marriage on the WWW.

The disappearance of the mysterious man : File no.1

"When you don't want me but need me, I'll stay. If you want me but no longer need me, I'll leave."

[Puff!]

"Ah, what the heck?"

"What kind of nanny is this?"

I had been disappeared for long due to the chronosphere which incorrectly transfered me to the the 8o's of the world where I met Brown's family who urgently need a nanny to take care of six(6) children.

Well, I was flabbergasted when the nanny gave a human characteristic to the donkey which in turn can dance, sing and flirt!

So much for the nanny.

[Blink!] - Back to the current world.

"What the heck! I got an 'exam' on Sunday!?!"

"Shit shit you 'exam'!"

"I haven't read 'you' yet!"

"OMG, what the heck am I going to do?"









[And I'm here blogging!] - What a paradox! But isn't that human characteristic?
People confuse each other in a lot of ways...

COM vomit blood but felt syok!

Me: COM, do you know how to go to Jalan Ampang ar?

COM: Yeah I do.

Me: Can you teach me ar?

COM: Sure. Where are you starting your journey? From PJ Tower or your apartment?

Me: Hmmm... from Jalan Universiti (UMMC).

COM: Ok

* So he proceeded to yak yak yak yak on the directions for at least 20 minutes and me also like um um um but but but for at least 20 minutes too *

Me: Oh, i see. Aiya!... why you did not say it's KLCC. I know how to go there mar. Waste time describing only...

COM: How do i know...you ask i answer lar... by the way, why do you want to go to Jalan Ampang?

Me: Cos i need to go to shitibank.

COM: You ar! You should just tell me you want to visit Shitibank lar... Shitibank just next to KLCC mar. Make me describe the direction for 20 minutes. You chee sin (crazy) ar!

* COM vomitting blood *

Me: sorry ar brother... hehehe... i don't know shitibank next to KLCC... hehehehe...

At the end of it, both also chee sin. Why? It's because COM syok syok describing and me syok syok ok ok on the directions.

if communication between human were effective then:

Me: COM do you know where is shitibank
COM: Next to KLCC
Me: Ok thank you.

Case close.

is sky the limit... i am a gone case!

Technical

I have just launch my technical blog. It's part of Is Sky The Limit blog. This sub blog of ISTL is mostly on SAP R/3 entries. Although once in a while there will be some small topics on .NET but those who are not interested in technical will find that place a bit (or should i say damn) bored. Anyway, it's my blog.

If you ever wonder will i be inserting some hardware or gadget updates then perhaps i will when i ever find something cool or superb. Then, i only put into that technical blog. As you see, i am more of a coding and concept guy so i am not very much into hardware. Don't ask me what is the latest hardware selling in Low Yat or Imbi. Coz if you do, i will refer you either to this site or you can talk to COM and TC Boy.

Happy Launching ISTL: The Technical

Sam Poh Tong and Kek Loh Tong - Caves

I’m suppose to enter this entry into ISTL but I was diverted into something else most of the time. Now I could find sometime to make this particular entry. Remember my last entry on Chinese New Year? Yes, I did not only just went home to get fat but I did some exploration too. I went to visit Sam Poh Tung (Cave Sam Poh) and Kek Lok Si. These two caves can be found in the northern states of Malaysia. However, I did not visit the Perak Cave. Probably I will try to visit it in the next two months or so.

My first cave : Sam Poh Tung

There are turtles for you to feed. Take a look at Raphael’s cousin. Its cute, right?

This Michaelangelo eating.

Now, here is the Donatello. Cowabunga dude! Master Splinter won’t mind if I grab a few more bites.

Inside the cave, this are the high walls encircling the turtle pond the temple.

The second cave : Kek Lok Si

The entrance looked like an archaelogical site. Its windy once you enter the cave. Its windy than the first cave.

Crude Hasting and behind him are the three Buddha’s. Peace on Earth. Amitabha. Crude Hasting : * Pray * I wish to have more than one girlfriend. * Amitabha *

Some of the rocks formation found in the cave.

Another rock formation on the ground. Most of this rock formation are barricaded from visitors.

Here is another rock formation.

Here is another rock formation on the ground opposite above formation.

This rock formation suppose to have water on its tip. I guess I need a better camera or I need better lighting.

For you guys out there who love stalagmite and stalatit, you can visit both of this caves. It has all those rocks that you can find for your photo album. Admittance to both caves are free of charge. However, in the first cave, Sam Poh Tung, you might want to buy a few spinach or kang kung from the stalls nearby to feed the turtles. Trust me there are more than just four teenage mutant ninja turtles in that cave. Take your sweet time and feed them. They will love you.



is sky the limit... wonderful caves in Ipoh

Economy, Girls, Study and Sleep

I remember when I first took my second Economy class (who told you that my first double degree was Bach. IT? No, I was a Finance/Accounting student before I changed to Information System) in Sydney, the number one rule from the syllabus I always remember is:

When there is a demand for goods and services there will be a supplier to supply it. Said that, both will always be in equilibrium. Else, there will be oversupply or under demand and vice versa.

With continuous expansion and huge shopping complexes in KL like the MidValley Megamall, 1 Utama, The Curve, Ikano, Jusco, Tesco, Ikea and another coming up gigantic GSC building it kept me thinking whether people here are that rich. I have not included the golden triangle area (StarHill, Sungei Wang, and what’s that another place I kept on forgetting) Do we really spent a lot? Or, the Malaysian economy has finally caught up and running after 1997 economic crisis. It has been a long time and I think many people had forgotten that incident.

I did felt the pinch from that crisis when I was in Sydney especially with the exchange rates. Nevertheless, I still managed to finish my two years of study in Sydney. Although I did not manage to finish another three years there (who told you I did my twinning in KL? I never did any twinning programme, I went to Sydney to study for my degree) but it was fun staying there. Nice weather, nice shower (rain) and nice girls. Well, you may want to visit King’s Cross in Sydney during the summer.

Anyway, here is my last entry before I go to bed.

Good night.

Is sky the limit… economy, Sydney, study, girls, and sleep?

Ah Pek With His Flat Tyre

Today as I was returning home from work, we met a car. This car was unusual because it tilted to one side. Yet, it was still moving.

Florence : Look, this car has a flat tyre on its left rear side.
Me : Yeah.

* After a few minutes of silence *

Me : I was thinking should I go down and inform the Ah Pek. If I don’t do it I feel bad about it. If I do it then I risk being called a busy body or mind your business buddy. Well, I think I better just stay in here and wait for the light to go green.

Florence : * looked at me *
Me : Alright, I just stay put.

Florence : Yalar… maybe the Ah Pek knows about it but decided to drive it to the nearest petrol station or tyre shop leh.
Me : But I think its damaging for the tyre’s rim right? If it’s a motorbike then its ok but this is a car.

Florence : Never mind, just stay where you are.

* After passing the traffic light and the first petrol station *

Me : Hey, looked at this Ah Pek, he just passed by the petrol station and did not stop.

* In front of the tilted one side car, the car was moving like an imbalance bullock cart *

Me : Doesn’t he feel anything on the stirring. He should feel something right?
Florence : Yeah hor… wait lar, maybe in front there is tyre shop for cars leh? See there’s one in front.

Me : Ok.

* the car move passed the tyre shop and still moved on *

Me : I think he doesn’t know he has a flat tyre. Maybe I can drive next to it and you can tell the Ah Pek.
Florence : Ok

* Florence make some sign to Ah Pek *

Me : Ok ar?
Florence : No lar, his face like eat shit only. Black as though someone stepped on his tail.

Me : Maybe he knew someone punctured his tyre and now he is like a sour-pus.
Florence : Let him be lar.

Me : Ok.

* Suddenly the Ah Pek nearly hit a car *

Me : Ok, this Ah Pek got a lot of problem
Florence : I better draw a sign and let him know.

* Ah Pek was driving faster and sped off into the busy street of SS2 *

Me : No need lar Low Poh, Ah Pek is gone. I wonder what is wrong with that Ah Pek?
Florence : Hahahahahaha… he is really a joker…

Ladies and gentlemen, always check your tyres before you drive. Have it pump for air and make sure there is no foreign object sticking to your tyres. Also ensure that your spare tyre is well pump and well taken care. Otherwise, you will end up like that Ah Pek driving with a flat tyre. By the way, if you had not change a tyre before you might want to consider taking one day to do it. At least, you will know what to do in case of emergency.

Drive well.

Is sky the limit…no, drives well and love your tyres.

Pemandu Teksi, Again

Again, this morning that incident happen again and the whole street had to wait for it. Yes, our pemandu teksi (taxi drivers).


This time it make me think whether our taxi stand is strategically located for customers to use. I just couldn't see the reason why customer won't go to that taxi stand and hail a taxi the correct way. Its just in front of them metres away (very nearby).


Also, why couldn't taxi drivers just advice the customer to go to a taxi stand nearby so they could conduct their deal safely? Just imagine the time taken to negotiate and getting in the taxi while the whole wide world for these two gentlemen! So inconsiderate!


All these nonsense and dangers of stopping in the middle of the road to pick a customer or customer hailing a cab when there is taxi stand nearby is really seriously hogging and jamming the traffic. Imagine 4 cars in front had to stop for it to get customer and another 5 or more cars behind him stop.


Should we blame:
1. The municipals or developers for not strategically locating the taxi stand?
2. The customer who does not know where to hail a taxi properly?
3. The taxi driver themselves who stop dangerously at anywhere to get customer?

4. Ourselves for our "tidak-apa" (nevermind) culture?

is sky the limit... why?

Gas Price Increase, my fried egg's price also increase!

Evening yesterday in a restaurant:


Me : Give me two plates of fried pork with tomato sauce rice (kou lou yuk fan), add fried eggs ok?
Si Tau Poh (the restaurant owner's wife) : Both?


Me : Yes and make it 100% fried.
Si Tau Poh : Ok.


* After 15 minutes waited, she came with our order *
Si Tau Poh : That will be RM10.50. Those fried eggs cost each RM0.70. Gas increase ok?


Me : * looked at both fried eggs * ... o_O"
Florence : Oi, pay lar...


Me : * grumble grumble - paid the lady boss *
Si Tau Poh : sorry sorry... * Quickly leave our table *


* fui fui hei hei (dreadfully) eat my lunch with a blackened face *



is sky the limit... what else is increasing?!
