Good --> Bad Bad

After receive a good news on the day regarding scoring well in Strategic Management, I was happy but it seem won't last long as what I get to know from Lau, a Master's Students in Unimas, he suddenly poke me via the Facebook and ask me whether I want to know my current marks for Marketing Research.

It really disappointing, at 4.40am I receiving the news about my current marks for Marketing Research from the total, it really not helping at all, the person I means is not Lau, another person, 27/40-->a part from the total carry mark what he give me for my Assignment 2 + Case Study + Presentation. It seem let me down and how do I face with the Final's Examination? at least give la 30++, so that it would be better chances for me to get a good results.

Now I really cannot imagine it, I don't dare to predict what I will get from MY FINAL which consists of 30 Marks, and even tough the Tips is given to us by Ernest, but it seem I cannot run away from getting a better results this time around since I only able to get a so so results last semester from his course. I got a feeling that, it would not be a good one again. sigh....

Unique RED Durian

Thorny abundance:
A sukang or ‘durian hutan’ tree heavy with fruits during its fruiting season.

Rare colour:
Once opened, the red flesh of the sukang is revealed.

KOTA KINABALU: A durian species is turning heads among visitors to Sabah, thanks to its uniquely reddish flesh.

Known among the Kadazandusun community as sukang or tabelak, the fruit is also called “durian hutan”, as it is mainly found growing wild in the jungles of Sabah.

Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjum said he did not know anyone cultivating sukang (its scientific name is Durio gravolens) as there was generally not much enthusiasm among locals for wild durian.

Its flesh is said to be thinner and drier compared with the cultivated fruit which is of thicker and creamier texture.

The taste is about similar with other durians, although some have described it as sweetish sour.

Masidi said the sukang’s main attraction is its red-coloured flesh.

“That’s the main thing that makes it stand out,” he said, adding that this type of durian also fetched a lower price than the more common fruit.

The small-sized fruits, some about the size of a sepak takraw ball, are sold for as little as RM2 to RM3 when they are in season.

Masidi, who grew up in interior Ranau where sukang are plentiful, said some people who had tasted the fruit for the first time claimed that it had a more potent “kick”.

“Maybe it’s because this particular type of durian is generally more pungent,” he added. Others who have tasted sukang describe it having a carrot-like flavour.

Go Nuts with DONUTS

Fun flavours: The 31 new donut flavours at the Big Apple Donut & Coffee have fun names like Berry Bambi, Apple Ke Dapple, Tom & Cherry, Yammy Yamato, Ono Oreo and Jon Lemon.

Colourful delights: One is never enough and with 31 new flavours to choose from, it is hard to decide on which ones to fill up the box.

WITH 31 new flavours on the racks at the Big Apple Donuts & Coffee, donut lovers would be spoilt for choice.

Aptly launched on Aug 31, the new flavours are also enticing, with colourful designs and inviting fillings.

“Based on the feedback we’ve been receiving, some of our customers want something new,” said Big Apple business development manager Simon Teng.

He said their research and development team spent about three months creating the new flavours.

Even the names of the new donuts have a creative ring to it, like Dandy Randy (dark chocolate, cappucino fresh cream and white chocolate), Apple Ke Dapple (white chocolate, apple filling and digestive biscuit) and Wakeup Wally (cappucino chocolate and walnuts).

Some of the donuts have been infused with fruit fillings like the Peach Power, Al’ Pine (pineapple), Pink Pelican (red cherry with strawberry and white chocolate) and Tom & Cherry (dark cherry).

Those who love that crunch in their donuts would go nuts with the Mumble Jumble (pumpkin, melon and sunflower seeds), Donutella (roasted peanuts), White Cashew (cashew nuts) and Open Sesame (black and white sesame seeds) donuts.

Three of the new flavours have cereal in them, namely the Ponie Express (dark chocolate, wheat bran, oat and raisins), Agent ‘O’ (white chocolate and Nestum) and Rocky Road (Tiramisu chocolate, coco pops and yellow raisin).

Besides the 31 flavours, the six top flavours of 2008 were retained — Chocoholic, Say Cheese, Pink Twister, Duren Duren, The Alien and Californian Almond.

The classic Glacier and Semi-glacier donuts were also preserved for die-hard fans.

“Loyal fans of our previous flavours would still be able to get them as we would be rotating the flavours every six months,” said Teng.

The donuts are sold at RM2.30 per piece, RM12.50 for a box of six and RM23 for a box of 12.

Fans can even vote for their favourite flavour online at www.bigappledonuts.com for the ultimate donut which would be crowned Lord of the Rings.

Teng said they would be launching a Caramelicious selection of donuts in October.

“Customers can get a box of six donuts for RM12.50, and each one has caramel in it,” said Teng.

1st Day after Holiday

Today will be the 1st day after the Raya Holiday and heading back for the BUSY month I guess for most of the students in UNIMAS, as well as others IPTA institutions.

--> The Classes is starting again, and there will be few more classes before we reach the CLIMATE whereby, assignments, projects and Final Year Project need to be handed on OCTOBER, most probably 3rd weeks.

Again, this will be one of the main factors that causes of TENSION, STRESS, EXCITED and etc among the students, including me. Why? There are many reasons.

For example, now? I think this is the 1st time I waking up so damm early in the morning, I also dunno why.... as I cannot sleep well last night. I only get in myself into bed at 2am, but around 4.45am I already awake and I cannot sleep back. why? I guess I was too excited to attending the 1st lecture after the holiday or I was too stress + tension, whereby more works, assignments and projects need to be submit, as the dateline is around the corner...

Another reason would be maybe I lost control in myself, whereby during the early morning, it is my sleep time for the last 1 weeks since there was a holiday, I guess myself was addicted to it, that why I cannot sleep well yesterday when I try to push myself to get into bed early.

Too BAD, I guess I will be in Zombie Stage during the lecture later on, since I will have two classes in the first day after raya, I hope there will be no quizzes or long lecturing for me today.

Lantern Festival

Bright night: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor holding lanterns at Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur last night after the launch of the 1Malaysia Lantern Festival Kuala Lumpur 2009 at the Central Market. Joining them is Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen (in green). The festival is set to get a boost with annual funding from the Government.

KUALA LUMPUR: The 1Malaysia Lantern Festival will be made an annual event and promoted as one of the country’s tourism products, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The Prime Minister said that by organizing this event, “we do not only accept the diversity of our multi-racial society but also celebrate the uniqueness of Malaysia.”

Speaking at the 1Malaysia Lantern Festival held at Central Market here last night, he said the event was in line with the 1Malaysia concept and expressed hope it would be seen as another brick built upon national unity towards the concept.

Najib also announced an annual allocation of RM250,000 to more than 100 Chinese non-governmental organizations which took part in the Lantern Festival.

He said such a cultural event was a heritage the country could boast to foreign visitors.

“There are so much Malaysia can offer to the world - its tradition, culture, customs, cuisine, its natural beauty and warm hospitality.

“We are the window to the rest of Asia and we have to be famous not just for our shopping, eco-tourism but for our unique way of life as well,” he said.

Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said the allocation announced by Najib would be made available by Tourism Malaysia to promote the Lantern Festival event in Kuala Lumpur for the next four years.

“We managed to attract more than 30,000 tourists to this year’s event and we hope that 100,000 tourists will be visiting our country each year specially for this event. The Lantern festival is a great event as it has the participatory factor which the tourists enjoy and will pull the crowd in,” she said.

After his speech, Najib cut a giant 1Malaysia mooncake which weighed 80kg.

He and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor joined in the latern procession, walking to the iconic Petaling Street carrying a lantern each.

Earlier, a giant lantern several metres high in the form of the 1Malaysia logo was lit by Dr Ng, accompanied by drum beats representing the various races.

The festival was organised by the Tourism Ministry with the co-operation of Kuala Lumpur City Hall and 100 non-governmental organizations.

Newlyweds stand out at Mahathir’s Open House

Auspicious occasion:
Ng and Chong greeting Dr Mahathir and Dr Siti Hasmah
During the Hari Raya Open House in Seri Kembangan yesterday.
— Bernama

UALA LUMPUR: A couple stood out among the thousands that flocked to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s open house yesterday — they were dressed in their wedding gown and suit.

Marketing manager Ng Vin Ping, 37, who just picked up his bride Chong Pei Nee, 27, on their wedding day, decided to drop by the former prime minister’s residence in Seri Kembangan yesterday.

Ng had flown home from Shanghai to marry Chong and the couple was due to hold their wedding dinner at the Palace of the Golden Horses.

“The hotel staff informed us about Tun’s open house and we decided to take the opportunity to meet him, as he is my idol. As a Malaysian, I admire him a lot and I wish him a long life,” Ng said.

The couple stood in line with the crowd in the sweltering heat for half an hour before they had the opportunity to meet Dr Mahathir and his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali.

Dr Mahathir, dressed in a lilac baju Melayu, and his wife, in a light blue baju kurung with a flower motif, shook the couple’s hands and posed for pictures with them.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor also paid a visit at about 11.50am.

The Prime Minister and former prime minister were happily chatting at their table as they savoured rendang, satay and char koay teow.

Among those who also turned up for the open house was first-time visitor Jit Singh, 60, who brought his family to meet Dr Mahathir.

“I used to read about him in the papers and it was an exciting encounter indeed when I met him for the first time.”

Also present was the National Bank of Pakistan Senior Executive Vice-President Dr Mirza Abrar Baig, who said the open house by Dr Mahathir showed that he was a sincere statesman.

Dr Mirza added that there was an open atmosphere for leaders and the people to come together, something that “cannot be done in Pakistan” due to the political environment there.

Also present were Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen, Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, Information, Com­munications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim, Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam, Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye and Angkasawan Dr Sheikh Muzaphar Shukor.

Don't Speed and Drive

Marvels of technology:
Yeo (right) showing how he can monitor all his express bus drivers on his laptop.

MIRI:
If his bus drivers have driven beyond the legal speed limit,
this man in Miri City knows
even if his driver is 1,000km away
because he can see every one of his drivers via his laptop.

Miri Transport Company managing director Yeo Yow Shun not only knows when and where his drivers had exceeded the speed limit, he also knows if they have been driving recklessly or if they have been sleeping on the job.

Yeo has installed a powerful Global Positioning System (GPS) on board his fleet of 17 express buses plying the Sarawak roads, enabling him to see his drivers and monitor their every movement 24 hours a day.

He can take punitive action within 24 hours if they are found to be reckless.

Miri Transport is the first in Sarawak, and perhaps in Borneo, to have installed GPS to prevent bus drivers from speeding and sleeping on the job.

Yeo demonstrated the technology at a hotel here yesterday. He showed how he can calculate their speed, their location, whether they are stationary or driving in a straight line.

“I can see them anytime I want. Anyone who speeds will be hauled up for disciplinary action immediately.

“Their speed is charted and jotted down every hour,” he said.

Yeo said the surveillance system was installed a month ago and it was costly.

“We spent a lot of money on this system. It is part of our company’s effort to ensure the safety of our passengers,” he said.

He also announced that his company’s stage buses, plying Miri City limits, will increase its fares by between 20 and 60 sen, following the Government’s recent decision to increase bus fares.

Nasi Kandar a Malaysian Original?

Battle gets spicier : The ‘food fight’ has apparently travelled up north with the Penang Indian-Muslim community now saying that the famous nasi kandar belongs to them. They are also upset that the dish and pasembur have not been duly recognised.

— RONNIE CHIN / The Star

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Indian-Muslim community has expressed disappointment that nasi kandar and pasembur have not been included in the list of 100 types of heritage food and drinks on the National Heritage website (www.warisan.gov.my).

Restoran Kapitan chairman Abdul Wahab Mohamad Hanifah said nasi kandar is “definitely a Malaysian original” and should be promoted as such because their ancestors from India first dreamed it up in Penang in the 1900s.

“They worked at the nearby port and would concoct different curries with whatever ingredients they had.

“Nowhere else can you find nasi kandar that comes close to the Penang version because the water here is special – it is sweet.

“Even when my cooks bring all the ingredients to Kuala Lumpur and prepare the food there, the taste is slightly different,” he said, adding that the dish should be promoted as a “Malaysian original”.

Pelita Nasi Kandar chain director K.K. Sihabutheen said nasi kandar should be the number one item in any “original Malaysian food list”.

“Not only was the nasi kandar created here, but Penang nasi kandar is the most popular around,” he said.

Since the 1930s, nasi kandar has played a prominent role in the culinary history of Penang.

Its origins date back to the days of yore when Indian-Muslim immigrants roamed the port and dusty streets of colonial Penang, carrying containers laden with home-cooked dishes and rice slung on both ends of a kandar (a wooden stick).

Most people also believe that pasembur, or Indian rojak as it is known in some states, is another Malaysian original first served by the Indian-Muslim community here.

Gani Famous Pasembur owner Jamil Kader Gani, whose family had been making this dish for three generations, “guaranteed” that pasembur was born in the state.

“Nowhere else in the world will you find such variety and the gravy is also special because most pasembur sellers make their own gravy according to their family recipes.

“Pasembur arrived here around the same time as nasi kandar and should be promoted as wholly Malaysian,” he said.

Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen’s recent statement that nasi lemak, laksa, bak kut teh, chilli crab and Hainanese chicken rice were Malaysian dishes has sparked off a “food fight” on the Internet, with some unhappy Singaporeans insisting that chilli crabs, Hainanese chicken rice, nasi lemak and bak kut teh were theirs.

Slow Down PLEASE, Cats and Dogs Crossing the Road !!!

Furry Friends Farm wants animal crossing signs put up:

IN Australia, it’s not uncommon to find kangaroo crossing signage along the roads.

At one time, roads in Puncak Alam, Shah Alam, even had signage alerting motorists to watch out for road-crossing tapirs!

In conjunction with World Animal Day on Oct 4, Furry Friends Farm founder Sabrina Yeap hopes that the local authorities will support her idea to promote animal welfare on the road and put up animal crossing signs.

It is an idea that is yet to be brought up with any of the local authorities but Yeap hopes that if the public agrees with her, this will nudge the authorities into taking action.

The push factor came to Yeap when Jasper the dog, a victim of a hit and run accident, was brought in by a group of contractors to Furry Friends Farm.

“He was injured with a ruptured skull showing part of his brain. When I went to see Jasper, in spite of the
unimaginable amount of pain he must have been in, Jasper still wagged his tail, as if in anticipation of some help,” said Yeap.

She said that from the countless number of accidents that involved dogs and cats, it's high time that signages saying, (Beware! Slow down! Cats and dogs crossing) are put up.

“It will not just save the lives of our feline and canine friends, but also the lives of people as hopefully, they will become more careful, considerate and compassionate drivers,” explained Yeap.

She also said that if the local authorities were agreeable with her idea, she would assist them by suggesting locations for placement of the signage.

“I am sure the public will also be supportive of this. Finding an injured or dead animal that had been knocked down by cars is a distressing experience for many. We’ve had plenty of calls from those who want to help but are unsure how to deal in removing the injured animals on the road. Many also are not aware of our animal rescue unit. Members of the public can assist us in identifying animal accident-prone areas in residential sites,” said Yeap.

“A few signage are enough. It will create an awareness among motorists to be more compassionate towards our road-using animal friends.”

Celebrate World Animal Day

WORLD Animal Day, which falls on Oct 4 every year, was started in Florence, Italy, in 1931 at a convention of ecologists.

On this day, special events are planned on locations all over the globe. Oct 4 was originally chosen for World Animal Day because it is the feast day of Francis of Assisi, a nature lover and patron saint of animals and the environment.

Numerous churches throughout the world observe the Sunday closest to Oct 4 with a blessing for the animals.

However, World Animal Day has now gone beyond being the celebration of a Christian saint and is today observed by animal-lovers of all beliefs, nationalities and backgrounds.

Animal rescue shelters hold fund-raising events and open days, wildlife groups organise information displays, schools undertake animal-related project work and individuals and groups of friends or co-workers donate to animal charities or pledge to sponsor an shelter.

VIPs Blacklisted for Not Paying Study Loans

PETALING JAYA: They are known as Yang Berhormat and Yang Berbahagia (YBs) but now some of them have earned the not-so-pleasant status of Yang Berhutang (debtor).

These YBs (the prefix used for elected representatives and those who carry honorary titles like Datuk) are not the only public figures on the list of National Higher Education Fund Corporation loan defaulters.

Professionals and celebrities are also among the 26,000-odd people who owe a whopping RM400mil.

The corporation’s chief executive, Yunos Abd Ghani, said the defaulters included those who studied medicine, law and business.

He said the corporation had to resort to barring the defaulters from leaving the country because they had been ignoring repeated reminders to repay their loans for more than five years.

Of the 26,627 names submitted to the Immigration Department since the corporation started recommending the travel restriction in August last year, 4% or 1,018 had settled their loans amounting to more than RM20mil, he said.

“This (overseas travel ban) has been an effective method as they have no other alternative but to settle what they owe,” he told The Star.

“We don’t apply double standards in implementing the action,” he said, adding that borrowers could check if they were barred from travelling overseas via the corporation and Immigration Department websites.

When asked what excuses the borrowers gave for not settling their debts on completion of their studies, Yunos said they often claimed they did not receive the corporation’s notices.

“Change of address is a favourite excuse despite their legal obligation to update their latest addresses with the corporation,” he said.

Yunos said barring defaulters from going overseas was a last resort.

Since the corporation began operations in 1997, he said it had disbursed RM18bil in loans.

In general, Yunos said that 76% of borrowers start repaying their loans as soon as they finished their studies.

Do you guys want to ACT like them?

Celcom Network Failure caused by Heavy Traffic Volume

PETALING JAYA: Celcom’s disrupted phone lines nationwide were gradually restored some 10 hours after the interruptions occurred.

“The failure was mainly due to heavy call volume which had increased by five folds during Aidilfitri,” said Celcom chief executive officer Datuk Seri Shazalli Ramly.

Other services such as SMS, email, GPRS, mobile broadband, roaming, IDD, and calls to other networks and fixed lines were unaffected.

As a result, some of its major network nodes experienced sudden overloading, causing a loss of signal between the nodes located at Kepong and Perda, Seberang Perai.

A call to the mobile service provider’s careline yesterday morning revealed their phone lines had been down since morning.

A pre-recorded voice message informed subscribers that they would experience some “disruption in taking and making calls in some parts of peninsular Malaysia”.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” said the message.

A customer care consultant said there was a “network problem” affecting the whole country, including Sabah and Sarawak.

That is why "Celcom Boardband" is known as "Turtle Band" as well,
now you know the REASON !!!

Hari Raya is Over?

I know that Hari Raya Holiday is over for the government and private sectors whereby most of them need to reporting back to their work since yesterday, but there was also many who take leave to continue the holiday. But what I know the Raya will last at least a month from the 1st day of Raya, "do correct me if I am wrong". As yesterday, I was on my ways to get our lunch in Xiang Xiang, we saw that our FEB Dean, Prof Shazali, was on his ways to lunch as well, I guess so, Prof. has gone back to work on the 4th day of raya? It really early, that my perception. If I am on the holiday, I guess most of my friends will know what I you do, hahaha, I will definitely take two or three day early from the holiday and will be back after at least 1 weeks after the holiday, whereby this had causes me an A in my last semester courses since I missed a 5% Quiz that given by the lecturer, oklah, I don't to sell his name here.

Back to the topic, why I said the Raya is over? emmm, if you guys visited my Facebook a moment ago, I guess you all should know why I want to share this topic. As you know, for the last 1 weeks, I has been enjoying my life at the most satisfy ways, whereby I was alone at my apartment, whereas all my housemates, including the Chinese gengs has gone home for the break. I really enjoying it because there is no Loud Music+Woofer that always happen in the apartment, BUT I guess the Nightmare will start again since the FELLA is Back !!! What the Hell, got raya, just go raya la.... why this FELLA, coming back as early as today, and I know I will be getting some unnecessary Disturb from what he usually DiD.

At early as 11am in the morning, I heard that somebody was opening the Door outside my ROOM, during that time I guess it should be the office staffs that coming for security checking, but it wasn't. It was the person who stay next to my room, he is back? OMG--> he is a Malays from Sabah, and I dunno why he is back here so DAMM early. As soon as he settled his stuff, that WAS it. I know I won't be having a good REST, since I was only on bed early in the morning. The Music is Started, at first it was slow, then becoming more LOUD and LOUDER with all the Malays Hits, WTF, my sleep is gone at the moment. I put the extra pillow that I have in my whole face, pretending I could not heard the MUSIC, but it fail. Then, Sam calling me to go for Lunch, but I tell him I need to get rest so, I FFK him, really sorry SAM, my NIGHTMARE is Back !!!

Countdown + Fogging

Well, as I was in a Damm boring mode, since I have to think about the works given by my Project Manager (Don't play play) an international marketing company namely International Sport, I guess I need to take a break since I was out of idea now.

It is a normal routine for us as a students, whereby lots (tans) of workload is given to us, and we need to accomplish it in a given time, I hope by next month all the Mission is Accomplish since starting today I will remember by telling myself that it will be one month to go before I get off from this devil place and heading home to Kuala Lumpur, even though it was not a long break, at least I guess I need a break outsides this place.

I Miss KL a lot, it has been 3 month since I came here,

Well, at the moment, what I hate the most is not the workload or assignment, but the Mosquito that inside my room which has disturbing my concentration. WTH , why nowadays there is so many MOSQUITO in UNIMAS, especially in Cempaka, when is the FOGGING company that assign to do fogging activities in the areas in Unimas will be coming again, as I was still remember they came here only once on this semester, I damm in need for your service now,

I NEED HELP,

PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH THE FOGGING ACTIVITIES,

I DON'T WANT TO KENA "DENGGI"

Index-Rated Private Varsities From 2011

PUTRAJAYA: By the year 2011, prospective students can check on the standing of private universities and university-colleges before enrolling.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said it would be compulsory for all institutions of higher education to participate in the Rating System for Malaysian Higher Education Institutions (Setara) programme next year.

“When I say next year, it means the results will be out the year after,” he said.

He added that some institutions were already voluntarily taking part in the programme this year and the results would be out next year.

“Courses should be under the framework of our Malaysian Qualification Agency, so that the courses offered are really of quality.

“If their courses are not under the framework by next year, they will not be allowed to take in foreign students,” he said, adding that the institutions have been reminded to only allow qualified students to be enrolled.

He added that if their students were not up to mark, this would have an effect on their Setara index and affect the university’s reputation.

Khaled said he was going to take a “total re-look” at institutions of higher education “to make sure that when we transform our public universities, they are not far behind.”

He said the Setara index would be used as a guide by students before enrolling in a particular university.

“We’ve no choice but to concentrate on quality. We want Malaysia to be a hub of higher education. We want first-class mentality students,” he said.

What I mean by the Bloody Discount Card? I still remember, those day I still in KL, as usual, I will get myself and my Godfather with a Dinner Plates every Tuesday, so I did the same here, in Kota Samarahan Sarawak. How I get this Discount Card, I guess now no more, but I manage to get many of this Discount Card last time as I either get myself a X-Meal in any KFC outlets, or by relationship management with this cashiers since I was a Loyalty customers to them, will be visiting them once a weeks, which most of the time will be at KL SENTRAL KFC outlets.

This is the V.V.I.P Discount Cards,
which remind me to get myself KFC every Tuesday.
Why? Because of the Value,
what Value? 25% Discount of course.
If not, I guess I won't be having KFC so frequently.
Term and Condition Apply

But today, my mood to have KFC almost being SPOIL by a cashier, whereby I can describe her as Kekurangan Pengetahuan or syok sendiri. Why? Because of her attitude or knowledge as being a cashier in KFC Kota Samarahan, I don't how long la, but I only met her for the last 1 month I guess if I am not mistaken. She told me that, my V.V.I.P Discount Card cannot be use since it was already expired, of course I feel weird, because I only having KFC last week as well, almost every Tuesday. So, this cashier, a lady cashier to be specific, really spoil my mood to have KFC today, because No Discount equal to No Value.

So, myself, Sam, and Allen really not in a good mood to have KFC since the V.V.I.P card can't be used. As Sam was in a phone, seem very busy contacting her clients who requested for KFC as well, I told him that I definitely won't have the KFC, if not Discount. But he told me that, he still need to buy because her Orang Kaya Kaya punya Clients still want to have it, so, as the waiting line for our orders was too long, I suggested him to go Taka Cake House first b4 we came back again to get the KFC for his Kaya Kaya punya Clients. Who is the clients? "siapa makan cili dia rasa PEDAS"

After buying the breads from Taka Cake House, we went back to KFC Kota Samarahan, and as Sam and Allen was lining up to make orders, I saw one of my KL lang, Mr. Seh Wei Ping, who is making payment for his order, of course in the main time I saw somethings else, that is the V.V.I.P Discount Card. I even ask him, "KL Lang, this V.V.I.P cards can be used meh?" He tell me YES, so, I even ask the KFC Kota Samarahan Supervisor, a ladies in her 30+, to confirm whether the V.V.I.P Discount Card can be use or not. After confirming that the V.V.I.P Discount Card can be use, I decided to line up in another counter as I don't want to see the "Kekurangan Pengetahuan" cashier who told me at 1st, the V.V.I.P Discount Card cannot be used.

Well, as Sam told me that we are not going out tonight to Dapau Dinner, I decided to orders an extra meal for myself since nothing (foods) can be get at Unimas.

I get myself a Zinger Burger, cost me around RM6

The Quality, so so lar, as my mood had been spoit by
the Bloody Cashier (Perempuan) .

A part from that, I also get myself and Mr. Gan a Dinner Plate,
as Mr. Gan did something to me which I really feel weird,
terpaksa la, I ganti rugi him balik.

This is what I get for myself, but the quality is sooooo BAD,
see the chicken also feel no mood already,
One Different Kind lol,
when I eat it just now, very weird the taste of the Chicken,
maybe due to Raya punya Pasal.
Kekurangan Ayam=Ayam yang Tidak Segar.
RM7.80 Net, after Discount.

How you guys feel about the QUALITY of the Chicken today?
The Question is towards Sam, Allen, and the Orang Kaya Kaya, (Sam's Clients)?

Overall, I rated this Meal is only 50% of my satisfaction,
why?
the cashier, the quality of the chicken has spoil my mood.

2009 2009 is Over

As the first day of Raya and also My Birthday, I really wasting my time whereby I have not touch anything on my projects, assignments require by Sam, as well as my Final Year Project, need to add Extra Ingredients too make it SPECIAL. OMG--> I am getting Lazy no thanks to myself.

As per yesterday, I only able to get into my bed around 4am, whereby doing all the useless stuff, such as Blogging, Facebook-ing, and Drinking as well. OMG--> I am sooooo Terrible. I have been wasting too much of time for all this stuffs, and now I guess I should be worry for my future.

Today, after promising Sam to went out and get our Lunch at Xiang Xiang, I was back to my own room, whereby I have my Lunch with a 1.5 liter of 100 Plus, to make my stay awake, since I did not took any Coffee yet, as I only able to wake up at 12.20pm, when I receiving an sms from Sam. I need to prepare myself in a 10minutes mode, so your know how rushing am I just now. So, during that time, I only able to brush my teeth and taking a short bath, less than 8 minutes as I don't to be the one who know as "P" timer, If you guys or girls know me, I am always a "M" timer but of course if the person is "M" timer also, if not I will TRANSFORM into "P" timer.

After having my Lunch, I was sooo headache, maybe because I have not enough sleep or might well causes by the Heineken that I drank yesterday. OMG--> my drinking skill has been declining? I don't think so, this is because Minum Tidak Cukup. I guess only Sam will understand what I mean by "Minum Tidak Cukup". So I ended myself in the bed until 5pm a moment ago, whereby I receive call from my Godfather's Daughter, asking me quite many question, haha, so I have been chatting with her around 20 minutes I guess before she tell me that she need to go now as my Godfather is waiting for her to play "MAHJONG"

I guess I need to throw away all the bad habits that is still inside myself, if I should be the one worries, there are many works that need to be done, One Down, another is Coming, another Down, 2 more is Coming, what else if not assignments or projects.

Happy 100 Posting for my BLOG as well.

2009 2009 Birthday

Well, just a moment ago, I went out with my friends, whereby at first, I thought we are going out to Dapau foods only, but he told me that he need to go The Spring, so my first perception was I thought that he wanted to get somethings else. But this time my six sense was totally wrongly, whereby we having our Dinner at Secret Receipt in The Spring Sarawak. This is the first time I dine in at a Quality Restaurant in Sarawak.It is actually a small birthday surprise for me I guess, I like that because I don't like to have a have others to spends for me, even it is my birthday. I like the ways whereby we pay for what we eat. I don't like that others people pay for what I eat, that why I Decline my friends request who wanted to have a birthday party for me, I now they will said I "jual mahal" but that the reality. Sorry if you guys or girls "terasa". Anyways, I would like to say Thank You for those who share to get me a "Special Present". I am really appreciated it.

Well, at the Secret Receipt, I get myself a cup of Hot Chocolate, and a plate of Chicken Kebab. The taste is good, I would like to give a 4 star rating for the menu that I choose. Overall it quite good for for dining in at Secret Receipt today. This is few of the item we get for our dinner at Secret Receipt:

Hot Chocolate since the day was so cold,
raining since 3pm in Unimas.
Affordable, RM8++

Chicken Kebab for Dinner.
It really nice and I will rate it 4 star,
affordable, RM16++

This is what Sam get for his Dinner, Beef Lasagna,
still affordable, RM12++

Siew Lung also have this as her drink, Hot item.
(Hot Chocolate)

This is the Cordon Blue
(sorry, the size of the picture is too small),
adapted from Allen Facebook photo album.

The Best things haven't arrive yet, after we had finish our dinner, Sam order us THREE types of Different Cake which something new for me, 3 slide of cake for my Birthday. I really like that style, since there are less people, and if we order one cake, I think we might not able to finish it. Limitation also, because only one taste. We ended up with 3 different cakes.

Mango Delight Cake,
4 Star for this cake.

Chocolate Black Forest Cake,
too bad, not fresh,
so I will rate this cake 3 star.

The best, Marble Cheese Cake,
this cake is rate at 5 star.
Do you guy agree?

Next, before we coming back to Unimas, my friends, Sam, need to stop by in Tabuan Jaya as we need to get Dinner for one of our friends, Wai Mun, who are in deep trouble due to Black CAT in Unimas, for further information, condition, please contact 014-9922623.

Besides that, Sam also PAKSA me, to Drink Heineken since it was my Birthday. So he brought quite many cans since he say he want to yam sing with me.. but of course I reject, so I ended up drinking at my room, so that no trouble will happen if I get DRUNK.

Special Thanks to Sam for delivering the BEER.
not enough since I finish it before 12am, ada lagi?

Last but not least, b4 I went back to my room, I was surprise that I was given a present. I really does not think about it at all. I just really enjoying the dinner that I have tonight. But seem, they are giving me SURPRISE. What else can I said, I really appreciate it !!!

2009 2009 Continued

Well, on the 2009 2009, it was Hari Raya and also my Birthday. Seem nothing much can be done today since I wake up so late, around 3pm, as I was only get myself to bed at 5am in the morning.

During the early morning, my handphone seem to keep ringing, starting at early as 7.55am, whereby, one of my friends, Sook Yee, starting the day off by wishing me on my birthday. Then, as you all know, the mobile will not stop from ringing as more and more wishing messages are coming in just specially for me. A part from that, I do receive a call from my Godfather, wishing me on my birthday and he even ask me whether I received the reload for my mobile or not. That means my six sense is correct if you guys or girls got read my previous posting. I tell my reader regarding I guess I know who is the person who send me the RELOAD.

Many caring friends do SMS me, especially N.V.A Peng Soon and Sam, asking me whether what should I get for my lunch, but during that time I still Zzz Zzz, haha, so either I ignore their message without replying or I replay by asking them to Dapau whatever for me. But, I guess I should still have my Lunch with a pack of Maggi Mee, that what I get for myself on this few day. You know I know la, who ask me to wake up so late, and another issues is the Cafe is Out of Service (Closed) due to raya celebration.

Nevertheless, I was also busy replying all the post comment on my Facebook as many of my friends keep sending me wishing me on my birthday. That is why, I was on my bed late, anyways, that is not the reasons, I seldom get into bed in the Holiday in a early mode, as since it's holiday, no classes on the next day, why not I sleep a bit late, and wake up a bit late, right?

It a raining day in Unimas, that will make the day cooling as before this It was so Hot.

Thank You for all that Wishing me on my Birthday, I really appreciates it.

Gods Bless You

2009 2009

It happen only once in my life, and this would be a very special day. This year, 20 September fall on the 1st Day of Hari Raya, and also it would be my BIRTHDAY as well.

Nothing special happening this year, I cannot celebrate it with my friends in KL, as I still in Sarawak, in UNIMAS. I also cannot celebrate it with my family members because I did not make any advance purchase on my air ticket for my trip back to KL from Unimas. Therefore, what to do? Be lonely at the room by watching TVB DRAMA.

Anyways, I do enjoy a moment ago, going out with my friends and we had a badminton games. After that, we had a our dinner at a Chinese Restuarant, but the food not tasty at all. Poor guy.. John was the one who recommended us to eat that stuff. really no taste at all.

Just pass 12am, I hope that my main Wishes will come true, what I need at the moment is I wanted to GRADUATES on-time, that my main wishes. Other then that, I hope ENTIRE GROUP of Peoples who close to me, be well and healthy always. Not to forget, I hope my sister will do well in her SPM.

May God Bless WE ALL

Kia Su

I cannot imagine that due to 5marks for the Blogs many of our friends that in the TMT1013 course suddenly become so active in blogging.

As I was nothing to do.. I go visiting all the blogs list that available in the tmt1013.blogspot.com. What I get is I view their posting, whereby for the last two month very inactive but suddenly, in the month of September, wow... some1 is posting around 40++ and 50++ also have, of course not guys la, guys wont be KIASU like that. So, you know who I means by now right?

Anyways, I wont be worry much as my posting is cukup cukup makan to get 5marks as well. For those haven't reach the limit, please keep in up but make sure it is consistent la. Don't do something due to REWARDS.

All The Best

Early Present

Today, as around 11.00am in the morning, during that time I was still in my bed since I was only get into my sleep around 5.00am in the morning, I receive an SMS regarding that was a successful reload of RM100 into my Digi number, but I don't know who is the person that send me a huge amount. Anyways, I guess I know who he or she is, if my six sense is correct.

A moment later, around 1.00pm, again, I was receiving another RM50 reload from somebody, and half an hour later, I receiving another RM50, that bring the total to RM200 in less than 3 hour. Besides that, since that my birthday is around the corner, with that amount of reload, I will be entitled to the BONUS from Digi as well, another RM100 talktime for free.

I guess I will be receiving more reload in the nearest time being, I guess as my birthday present gua. So, I would like to thanks all that had send me the reload and I will promise you guys to use the amount wisely. Of course I will use it wisely because my relationship is complicated, so I guess I wont be using much from making telephone calls.

Thank you. May Gods Bless Us. Take Care.

How Can I FOCUSING WELL?

Since the public holidays is started, I have to control myself by being not focus on my assignments, assessments, projects, as well as the Final Year Project. Thus, I was in a dilemma now, as I know that I have a lots of works, things, stuffs that need to be done in time before I went home for my study weeks, the end of October.

Therefore, I really needs good advices and encouragement for me to do that, as I know that I will be able to focus of my TVB Drama for the whole day, but not on readings and searching for information as well as doing reports. That why I need to control myself, so that I wont be Hyperactive on watching Drama but Extremely Hyperactive on my works, stuffs as well.

So, how can I keep my concentration 100% focusing on my studies? --> of course the first choice will be the COFFEE. As I know I was addicted to it, I try to control myself, so at least 2 pack per day, but during Holidays, I cannot imagine how many packs I will consume. The reason is I need to keep focusing.

Next, according to my tutor, only one tutor for us this semester, so I guess you all should know who he is right, he told us that, we should really concentrate 2 to 3 hour for our stuff, especially our reports, projects, assignments, ONLY 2 hour or 3 hour, that the MAXIMUM, therefore, one day equal to 24 hours, minus maximum 3 hour to study, that mean 21 hour left, thereby minus another 10 hour to sleep, we still have 11 hour to do outdoor activities. Really ar? I don't think so.

What is yours opinions?
feel free to drop by a comment, thanks.

Bus out of Services (POSTPONED)

Today, as usual I was waiting for buses to go East Campus for my presentation at 8.30am, whereby I waited for almost 15 minutes but the buses seem not coming. Why this happen to me? Because of BAD LUCK? emmmm, I also DUNNO.

Luckily, they was one of my FRIENDS, not well close friends, but he willing to fetch me since he saw me waiting for buses to go East Campus, as he was also going to the same direction. We are supposedly to have our Research Marketing Presentation at 9am, but the buses seem not in the operation MODE.

It really irresponsible for the UNIVERSITY TRANSPORTS DEPARTMENT to cancelled the trip of the buses without noticed us, the ENTIRE UNIMAS Students. Therefore, I make a call to the MPP, MAJLIS PERWAKILAN PELAJAR, regarding this matter. He replying me that, the buses will operation 1 hour per trip whereby, weekdays suppose to be half an hour per trip, and the poor things is we are not NOTICED about that.

MPP--> reply my complaint by mentioning that the UNIMAS TRANSPORTS DEPARTMENT, that the NOTICE cannot be done because they DON'T have the "EMEL RASMI" that means they don't have the POWER or RIGHT from HEP to make the DECISION, but they seem doing the things as they think that is TRUE or RIGHT to do that. I means POSTPONING the trip for the Buses.

Where is the Students Welfare?

"Empowering Students Welfare" from MPP?

HABUK PUN TIDAK ADA

Getting MAD

Can you imagine when you are sleeping in you bed, there was a sudden loud sound from somewhere that is nearby. I was experiencing it for the last few day since early August. It was really annoying as the woofer sound would make my heart goes faster. How can I get a good rest if this things keep happening on me?

I was experiencing the difficulties, again and again, the latest at 1am++, just a moment ago. During that time, I was already on BED, and looking forward to get a good rest since I already finish Goreng-ing my ASSESSMENTS. Therefore, I was on bed at 10pm, as tomorrow there will be a tutorial class for me at 9am, and I need to wake up early, so I was on Bed earlier than before.

But, those inconsiderate people keep disturbing my sleep, again with the music ON a LOUD MODE, keeping my sleep at bay, their attitude was really BODOH, Never Use Brain at all, izit all of this due to they are SARAWAKIAN? staying on top of the TREE before, and move to the MODERN Life? I guess so....

Boulevard Part Timer Needed

I was receiving an SMS from my friends regarding that Boulevard needs more part timer during Hari Raya Season, but unfortunately they are unwillingly to pay us better salary, so would you help them during the five day of Hari Raya? What I know from my friends who working full time in Boulevard, he tell me that all the Malays workers will entitled to a FIVE Days Off !!!

The information I get from my friends are such as RM3 per hour on Friday and Tuesday and RM4.50 per hour for Saturday, Sunday and Monday. OMG--> really Stingy, I means the management committee in Boulevard, needs workers but unwillingly to pay us Extra. So, I also not sure whether I will be working or not.

If they are willing to pay us more, maybe all of us willing to work for them during this FIVE days, but the reality are THEY ARE NOT !!! So, just forget about it, concentrate on the assignments, projects as well as the Final Year Project !!!

If you all are interesting, Please Do Not Hesitate To Contact our Supervisor in Unimas,
Do you know who she is?

Of course,
Lina Yek Mei Ling,

Class Cancelled

OMG--> Why the class is cancel without any notice? I thought the class will go on as usual as there are no information regarding any cancellation. Therefore, I was one of the many students (around 10 of us) in the seminar room (BS3), waiting for the lecturer to come and deliver his lecture to us.

What a disappointing to me, the lecturer has not come till 2.30pm, sound irresponsible? Whatever la, I choose to get out from the BS3, and eventually at Cais now. I know it the Raya is coming soon, and I guess, Mr. John known that many students had gone back for the celebration, as usual because the flight will be cost a little bit cheap compare to the date that very near to the Raya.

The almost empty class what the evidence, whereby most of the students has went back, on normal day, the attendants rate is around 40++ students who came to the class. But as I mention just now, it was around 10 of us. I do hope next time if the lecture is not held, PLEASE INFORM US at LEAST we NOT NEED TO GO !!!!
