This time is 8.2 Richter scale

Another major quake struck northeast of Sumatra early this Tuesday morning, which was at 12.09 am Malaysian time bearing a magnitude of 8.2. Locally in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 20 seconds of tremors were felt not only in Penang island, live telecast NTV7 news reported that people in Klang Valley and even Kelantan had felt the shake.

Minutes after the tremor, low-lying coastal areas in Malaysia's northern states were being evacuated. In Penang, communication lines were off. Until now, 3.15 am Malaysian time, no reports of deadly tsunamis hitting any coastal areas. Although the quake was weaker than the December 26's but the tremors it had resulted especially in the Kuala Lumpur area has raised concern of many, who ran down from their apartments and high rise buildings after the shock, even residents of Hotel Nikko at Jalan Ampang. Hundreds were awake in Seri Kembangan, Cheras, Kota Damansara and the sorrounding areas because of the tremors they felt. Tremors were even stretched as far as Bangkok. However, I felt nothing in Overseas Union Garden, Kuala Lumpur.

I called up my friend who is living at a 2nd storey shophouse in Cheras to ask her how is she.
Me: There's an earthquake! Did you feel it?
She: (Sleeping) No......
Me: Everyone rushed down from their apartments and condominiums in Kuala Lumpur!
She: (Still sleeping) Issit? Where...................?
Me: Seri Kembangan, Cheras, Damansara, people ran down from their high rise buildings, and even residents of Hotel Nikko!
She: (Awake) Isssit?
Me: I think you were sleeping like a piggy is it? Snoring? hehehe
She: I was dreaming...
Me: What?
She: I was dreaming about work. I dreamt about the company Teliti Computer Sdn Bhd's tax computation and submission deadline until you called.....
Me: (Stressed) ...............
She: I am stressed that I couldn't submit it on time. etc etc etc etc etc...
Me: When earthquake strike Kuala Lumpur buildings tomorrow, there's no need to work anymore.. !
She: hehehehehe
Me: ....


The earthquake measured weaker, but people felt it stronger than the Dec 26's

Predictions and warning were made less than 2 weeks before by the British and Europe seismologists, stating there was "potential" for a massive early temblor in the ocean floor west of Sumatra as a result of tensions stoked up there by the December 26 quake.

There should be no tsunamis. If there's a tsunami, it should have happened. In this world especially a Series of Unfortunate Events and disasters, they are struck without anyone knowing it. If it has already been predicted, it should not be called a disaster. Now everyone has fled, but no great waves came. Remember that disasters only struck when you are least conscious. It's basically a mind game we play with the God.

U.S sources said there may be another quake to strike hours later. We'll see....
For now, we pray for the victims at Indonesia's northwestern Nias island.

Formula 1 Sepang 20 Mar 2005

2005 Formula One in Sepang saw some exciting dramas on the final race, but from where I sat, my view was for over-taking moments only. 2 laps after the green light, Honda teams were subsequently retired simultaneously due to engine blow. Patrick Friesacher of the all-time pitiful anonymous Minardi-Cosworth and Jacques Villenueve of Sauber spun off the track in lap 2 and lap 26 repectively. Giancarlo Fisichella of Renault retired with BMW's Mark Webber in the controversial 36th lap accident. From lap 2 onwards, we were just quizzed on some cars were actually not running, but we didn't know who at that moment. So, next time I would not forget to bring a binocular to a Formula 1 event. Overall, it was a hot and exciting day at Sepang F1 circuit.


The sight from our venue


From left: Renault, Toyota, Renault


And so BAR-Honda has called it a day after finishing lap 2


The people were praying for Schumi after chequered flag


ORANGE - a tele communication company not available in Malaysia, but aggresively advertised in M'sia's F1


Upclose and personal : The track


The side track where F1 cars made curvy turns and stormed through the grass, but not touching the green stones on far left before the white stones


An Astro concert was 1/2 and hour after the event


I came for this team


Those who made appearance, two of a million ants


These are entirely alien to us. But they insisted on taking pictures. I guess they are models-wannabes. Hehehe


Is this job being advertised before? I wonder what does he do?

For official results, here they are.

Regenerate 19 Mar 2005

A rave party in conjuntion with the Formula 1 event was held in Sepang Helipad. This party is on the "red" side. Every year since the glorious days of Scuderia Ferrari, they paint their theme red and team up with the Ferrari and the Marlboro, that's why it is so "commercialized". Compared to the past years, the music played this year is rather frustrating. Almost 3 quarter of the music they played were house and mixes from other music from Blur and even Marilyn Manson! And the "commercialized" people was so fun, they jumped when the song Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson being played.

Thinking about in one hand, the government thinks that the music is a cult, so theoritically, this band is banned. Plus how 99% of the people do not like Marilyn Manson, because they are totally out of their minds, promote social ill and anti-religion. But it was almost 20% of the people who thinks their right and the remainder looked so happy that they jumped like crazier. What's more, the authority permitted the song to be reproduced for the mass community in the event, and that the event was organized by some local people who holds this big event for Ferrari and Marlboro, commercializingly. For the first time I heard Manson's songs played in the public, in Malaysia. I was mesmerized. However the way it was played in the event like this, it was sucked.


The venue, the event


Eddie Halliwell..He's the best of the 3 DJs appeared


Bcoz of Eddie, ppl were dancing mad. Also seen are the Australian-styled glowing pants


The aftermath

For the next year, if Ferrari maintain their performance in the race track, this event will have to be changed of colours and themes.

Top 5 Deadliest Questions Martians Ever Encountered

The top five toughest questions women ask - and their answers according to Sassy magazine, the five questions are:



  • "What are you thinking?"
  • "Do you love me?"
  • "Do I look fat?"
  • "Do you think she is prettier than me?"
  • "What would you do if I died?"

What makes these questions so bad is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument and/or divorce if the man does not answer properly, which is to say dishonestly. For example:

1. "What are you thinking?"

The proper answer to this question, of course, is, "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, caring, thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful woman you are and what a lucky guy I am to have met you."

Obviously, this statement bears no resemblance whatsoever to what the guy was really thinking at the time, which was most likely one of five things: Baseball; Football; How fat you are; How much prettier she is than you; How he would spend the insurance money if you died.

According to the Sassy article, the best answer to this stupid question came from Al Bundy, of Married With Children, who was asked it by his wife, Peg.
"If I wanted you to know," Al said, "I'd be talking instead of thinking."

The other questions also have only one right answer but many wrong answers:

2. "Do you love me?"

The correct answer to this question is, "Yes." For those guys who feel the need to be more elaborate, you may answer, "Yes, dear."

Wrong answers include:


  • I suppose so.
  • Would it make you feel better if I said yes.
  • That depends on what you mean by "love".
  • Does it matter?
  • Who, me?

3. "Do I look fat?"

The correct male response to this question is to confidently and emphatically state, "No, of course not" and then quickly leave the room.

Wrong answers include:



  • I wouldn't call you fat, but I wouldn't call you thin either.
  • Compared to what?
  • A little extra weight looks good on you.
  • I've seen fatter.
  • Could you repeat the question?
  • I was thinking about your insurance policy.

4. "Do you think she's prettier than me?"

The "she" in the question could be an ex-girlfriend, a passer-by you were starring at so hard that you almost caused a traffic accident or an actress in a movie you just saw. In any case, the correct response is, "No, you are much prettier."

Wrong answers include:


  • Not prettier, just pretty in a different way.
  • I don't know how one goes about rating such things.
  • Yes, but I bet you have a better personality.
  • Only in the sense that she's younger and thinner.
  • Could you repeat the question? I was thinking about your insurance policy.

5. "What would you do if I died?"

Correct answer: "Dearest love, in the event of your untimely demise, life would cease to have meaning for me and I would perforce hurl myself under the front tires of the first Domino's Pizza truck that came my way." This might be the stupidest question of the lot, as is illustrated by the following stupid joke:

"Dear," said the wife.
"What would you do if I died?"
"Why, dear, I would be extremely upset," said the husband.
"Why do you ask such a question?"
"Would you remarry?" persevered the wife.
"No, of couse not, dear" said the husband.
"Don't you like being married?" said the wife.
"Of course I do, dear" he said.
"Then why wouldn't you remarry?"
"All right," said the husband, "I'd remarry."
"You would?" said the wife, looking vaguely hurt.
"Yes" said the husband.
"Would you sleep with her in our bed?" said the wife after a long pause.
"Well yes, I suppose I would." replied the husband.
"I see," said the wife indignantly. "
And would you let her wear my old clothes?"
"I suppose, if she wanted to" said the husband.
"Really," said the wife icily.
"And would you take down the pictures of me and replace them with pictures of her?"
"Yes . . . I think that would be the correct thing to do."
"Is that so?" said the wife, leaping to her feet.
"And I suppose you'd let her play with my golf clubs, too?"
"Of course not, dear," said the husband.
"She's left-handed."


Thoughts of the above by a friend:

I personally do not think its too much bout these questions. It is because you guys prefer to talk in your head and we like to talk things out.

1. what are you thinking? i like to ask this question. it is not as if i am so bloody free with ntg to do, but out of concern and with that blank look in ur face that make me ask. Sorry for concerning too much then..

2. do you love me? You guys will say this 3 words every chance you can. After 6 months, boom! all the magic gone. of course we women have to ask! So that we could get out of the damn relationship and spend our time with some ppl who actually appreciates us.

3. Do i look fat? oh ya, i know i am fat. but the thing is i wan to know IN YOUR EYES baby whether am I fat to u. Because we love you guys we are concern bout how u see us, and we want to look attractive for you look the best FOR you, so that you can show off to your stupid friends and be proud of us and of course make you high too. the best answer will be "I love you just the way you r"

4. Do you think she's prettier then me? sometimes, women just ask things for the sake of communication because you are soooooooo busy thinking or rather talking to urself in the brain. OR u r actually looking at the girl with the mouth open, saliva dripping down. plz look at urself ! Man!! I bet, if i saw a hunk with that same look on face, you will ask me is he hotter then me. And OH Yaaaa he's not only hot! i wanna feeelll him!

5. What would you do if i died? wonderful question which i haven't asked b4. We just wanna know whether could you live without us. COME ON you know u can't! how annoying is this question? i find it very interesting and challenging.... we can get lots of excuses or explanation from men we could never guess. If my hubby die b4 me, no i can't take my life to acompany him, that's against the religion, but... i will use his insurance money to go holliday the places he wish to go.. ooo i can feel the shopping word is popping in my head....

Taking this global matter in serious attention, I've put this into a topic in the forum section, click-able button on the right of this page.

I Earn Myself A Vacancy in the Broadband Industry

Refering to the post on 8th March 2005 in regards to the discriminating charge of RM30 by TMNet Streamyx (Malaysia's largest broadband service provider) personnel. I have finally figured out how to establish a permanent connection to the Internet without dialling the modem. That means once I switch on my computer, I have connection to the Internet at an instant and a faster speed. I remembered once I got my new modem couple of weeks ago, I called up Streamyx helpline and I asked:

Me: I have bought a new modem, everything is working as per normal but I do not have the Internet connection.
Operator: Ok. I'm not going to teach you about the permanent connection, but I can show you how to connect using a dial-up.
Me: *Wink wink :o( Alrite. How?

Eventually she just reset my password and I could connect to the Internet. It was because I forgot my password previously.

Now that I just performed some simple clicks and type my username and password on its webserver, I saved RM30 bux on "professional fees" for service rendered not more than even 10 minutes. If one day five people need my RM30 bux services, one day I earn RM150, five days of working gives me RM750. One month I would have RM3K - better than other professional services. However, it's no future prospect. It's not possible to own a "Simple Clicking For RM30 Sdn Bhd". So, it's only a social responsibility job afterall. =o)

A Series of Unfortunate Events

I was a happy man being able to write some blogs until the 9th March, and a dreadful disaster struck again. This time is my monitor. It suddenly blacked out. This happened in 2003 when I first bought this Hyundai monitor few months ago. So again I took back to the computer dealer in Midvalley where I fixed all the hardwares the week before. The staff have changed there in just a week!

I didn't bother much, I asked for one of the staff for a warranty. He asked me to bring the monitor back to the manufacturer coz the warranty for the dealer is only valid for a year. I asked again but no rectification or toleration given. I was like "YEAH! Next time you won't see me paying anymore cents to your cashier anymore."

*Promise of 3 year of warranty by the dealer has been broken, dissatisfaction felt by the customer.

Then I asked for the location of the manufacturer and he replied, "Er, I don't know. You have to find it yourself - maybe in the Internet". I felt like punching him but I did not.

What a week. My major tool for searching jobs has suffered a series of calamities these days. From CPU to modem, and to monitor. I think my printer is going to be struck by some kind of virus soon.

Fortunate enough my girlfriend saved my despair by lending her monitor to me. She needs it back this weekend so I have to cherish every moment with her monitor now looking for indeed, useful information. If you see no more updates from this blog, you can imagine a tsunami recently visited my residential area and caused severe calamity to my computer and its components.

I hope there will be possibility to post F1 pictures this weekend.

Finally, I pray:

"G.O.D., NO MORE DISASTERS PLEASE! I HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH!"

Streamyx : Please, Your Customers Are Not Dumb!

There the lightning came and my sister's Streamyx (Malaysia's largest broadband service provider) modem got blasted as well. I consulted her on the next steps she should generally take. Her "casualties" were not high, only the modem that needed to be changed. She bought a new modem, but the settings were not in place for Streamyx access. I called the Streamyx technical assistance at 1300-88-9515:

Operator: Hi good afternoon, this is XXXX (censored for privacy purposes) how can I assist you?
Me: Hi Good afternoon! My modem got blasted by lightning few days ago, and I changed the modem to a new one. But what happened is that I couldn't log in to the Internet with the new modem.
Operator: Is the adaptor plugged in to the computer?
Me: Yup!
Operator: Is the light blinking?
Me: The three lights are on. None of the lights are blinking in such a way that it is "connecting". One light is blinking as it is receiving information data. It shows that it is "connected" to your server as per normal.
Operator: Is the light of the LAN card on?
Me: Yes. That shows no problem with the network card. (Of coz the light on LAN card is on! If not one of the modem's light will be off.)
Operator: Ok turn off your computer. Plug out the LAN card and plug it in again.
Me: You mean I should open up my computer casing, unplug and plug in the card again?
Operator: Yes!
Me: (For goodness sake I have inform you that everything is in order for my hardwares, I think this is a pretty dumb thing to do) Ok thank you very much!
Operator: You're welcomed! Is there any problem that you need assistance?
Me: No. (Hell NO!)

Although I felt it would not work, but I trusted him for once. My sister was looking at what I am doing, I was like a professional. Eventually, he failed. I called again for assistance, hoping an angel would give me a hand. This time it was a Malay girl, instead of guy.

Operator: Hi, my name is XXXX how can I help you?
Me: Me: Hi Good afternoon! My modem got blasted by lightning few days ago, and I changed the modem to a new one. But what happened is that I couldn't log in to the Internet with the new modem.
Operator: Is the adaptor plugged in to the computer?
Me: Yup! The three lights are on. None of the lights are blinking in such a way that it is "connecting". One light is blinking as it is receiving information data. It shows that it is "connected" to your server as per normal.
Operator: Does your phone sounds noisy?
Me: No. (If the phone is noisy that means bad connection or signal interruption) The phone is OK.
Operator: Do you use splitter?
Me: Yes. (Splitter is a device that splits the phone line into two individual lines - for the broadband modem line and the telephone line) Why?
Operator: Ok try using a single line that connects from the main source to your modem. Turn off your modem and turn it on again.
Me: Why? (testing her credibility)
Operator: Because two lines will cause interference, bla bla bla bla (she was talking alien language, which I couldn't understand - my ignorance, my fault)
Me: Ok. Thank you!!! (So both technical experts wants me to put down the phone anyway)

So I put down the phone and I did as what was advised, although I thought this action is even much dumber than the first guy. Since there is no sign of signal inteference from my phone line, there should be no problem with the physical line! My sister was looking at my professionalism. Eventually, it failed once again. Therefore my sister asked me to call a guy that came over last time to install the Streamyx broadband to come to my house personally. I called and I explained my problem the same way again, he asked for RM30. My sister let him come the next day's morning.

There he came in the morning in punctual manner and performed some simple clicking tricks on the Streamyx admin webserver. His service lasted for less than 10 minutes, never touched any hardwares, never tought nobody anything, the Internet worked and my sister gave him RM30 as consultation fees as promised.

How a RM30 can save alot of dumb actions to be performed. Yet again, I was trully mesmerized, so as my sister...........

Disasters - Only Struck When You Are At Least Conscious

One day when I was in a nice slumber with the sound of drizzling from my window, it came a powerful thunder that blasted into my ears. My neurons then activated my body to jump off from bed like as it is a sudden wake from nightmares in the movies. I thought it would be my unfortunate LAN (Local Area Network card, which costs not more than RM30) hardware that its fate would belong to the garbage bin. I was relaxed and pressed on the CPU (Central Processor Unit) on/off button and realized the casualties suffering from the disastrous thunder aftermath was not only one, but many. The computer did not respond to my finger action at all. I did not care much, so I brought the CPU to the computer shop to diagnosis. Well, the technician opened up the CPU, got the LAN card, showed the black spot on the hardware, and spun it to the dustbin like nobodies business. The technician, who looked abit nerdy and chubby with several pimples on his cheeks, then told me with a sad and caring tone that my motherboard together with the Intel processor chip were gone! With the moment of unfortunate event, came his colleague and yelled asking:

Colleague: Lei pei lui pek ah??????!! (You've got struck by lightning is it?)
Me: Ngo mou pei lui pek! Hai ge tin lou pei lui pek zhieh (I was not struck by lightning! But the computer is)

According to him, there were alot of lightning cases that struck computers these days. It may be a way of consoling, but I appreciated that. After thorough diagnose, my computer needed a repair of a new motherboard, new processor chip and a LAN card; and that is RM320 paid for a processor and LAN card and a surge protector and a 2% charge for using credit card (The stupid retailer is passing the burden of 2% bank charge for credit card service). It would cost more if I don't have a spare motherboard.

Reached home and found out the internet was still unable to connect. Went back and the technician expected me because he could not believed the modem was still OK if the lightning penetrated all of the hardwares. The price tag rediculously stated RM160, so I asked for the actual price. He quoted RM140 with the lowest discount he can afford. My expression was in disbelief and I asked the price again. He bow his head down with his hand to support the head, thinking very deep and he quoted: RM138! I was like WOW! That's the price of a newer model of the same brand that my sister bought 2 days ago in Low Yat Plaza without much bargaining. Without leaving me thinking further he said, "the profit for us is just RM3 only brother....." and I was like "Ugghhh.. he's decorating his freshly baked crap with a crap". It was paid by a credit card and further 2% was again.... charged... and I went home... mesmerized....

Pffftttt..... Oops I Did It Again

The root word of fart is called flatus or flatulence. Fart is basically a combination of gases i.e. carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide that originally produced because of the air that we swallow and foods that the human digestive system cannot be easily digest.


What stinks the fart is the hydrogen sulfide gas produced by the reactions of bacterias in the large intestine. As it contains the sulfur component, this is what makes the fart smells with odor. Therefore, the more sulfur in the diet, the more the fart smells. Food that contributes odor: beans, bread, cauliflower, cabbage, cheese, soda, beer, raisins and eggs - these are the high sulfur food. The degree of stench also depend on how much air the person swallowed, what kind of bacteria in the intestine (rather scientific) and how long is the fart being in the intestine. The longer the fart is saved in intestine, the larger the proportion of nitrogen gas component, because the other gases tend to be absorbed by the walls of the intestine into the bloodstream i.e oxygen, carbon dioxide.


Most people's misconception of noisy fart is that the noise is generated by the flapping of the ass cheeks. In fact, noise is practically produced by the vibration of the anal opening. It is mainly dependant on the how fast the emission of gas through anus and the tightness of the tiny muscles of anus. Generally, the more accelerated the expulsion, the higher volume it produce. Most chinese people that you can hear them fart like nobody's business in the public, you should know he is forcing his fart out of the anus in high speed and of course, with constant training and exercising, his masculine anus is very powerful!


Do men fart more than women?

There is a large variation among individual on the amount of fart produced daily, but the variation does not correlate with gender. On the average, a healthy person farts 16 times a day! If men fart more than women, then women must be saving it in the intestine and therefore expelling more nitrogen gas per fart than men. So, women fart as much as men do.


What made people fart more?

People that swallow alot of air often fart more often that people who don't. Chewing a gum, smoking or sucking on lollipops are the main factors made people fart more. During meal, eat with mouth closed, eat slowly and not gulping with the food or liquid. Nervous people would swallowed in alot of air and the system unable to absorb excess of air, therefore produces more farts than other individuals. Tilting the head back and pouring a drink straight down (chugging) also result to an excess of air being swallowed, and, more farts.


Is it harmful to hold farts?

No. Farts do not poison. The worst scenario is stomach ache caused by the gas pressure. Farts would eventually travel back to the intestine to be released later. It will not transform or absorbed again, except for oxygen component.


Can fart burn?

Yes. It is true in the movie Beavis and Butthead as fart contains methane and hydrogen, both of which are flammable gases.
