2009-10-25T07:41:00.001+08:00

Here’s how my life looks like now, MESSY! As messy as my studio workdesk!

Finally Rest and WTF Megan Fox is a No-She

2009-06-29T15:14:00.003+08:00

After 4 days of Panasonic Evolta batteries lelong events, I just had enough of it. No one goes to a fair in a mall to get batteries. Only way of getting sales is by stating how much it is cheaper and what's the free gifts. Another word catch those cheapskate consumers which normally end up being duped. Well it's the whole plan of the company not me. I mean come on lucky draw?

So, the conclusion is that batteries are like chewing gums at the cashier and normally people will just forget about it.

Then when the remote controller for the AC ran out of batteries then they will run frantically around looking for people like me. :)

Apparrently the new Evolta Batteries just got it's Guiness World Record. Wow but actually who cares. Half of the people who bought from me make it aroun 200 people care less about it.

And the biggest bum is that after working so hard for 4 days my total sales in RM can be easily beaten by a new LCD 42" Panasonic TV in anytime. Gosh. Hard sell man!

To add to it, LCD TVs are selling like hot cakes for the price of it. And the worse thing is that customers comes to you coz they need stuff like TV and not batteries!

Anyway now back to Megan Fox, the hot chick in Transformers

and this

IS ACTUALLY A DUDE

well at least claimed by some sites:

Megan Fox was born Mitchell Reed Fox in Rockwood, Tennessee. From an early age, Mitchell showed an interest in both performing and women’s clothing. When having a preacher lay hands on him did not ‘cure’ him of these interests, his parents simply put him on the pageant circuit.

As a sweet 16 present, Fox’s parents offered him sexual reassignment surgery, which, given their child’s career, they’d hoped to write off as a business expense. Unfortunately laws prohibit such surgery to be done to minors.

URA

2009-06-23T06:34:00.004+08:00

The URA (Urban Redevelopment Agency) in Singapore. For Milkmaid who has been there to eat but never tapao for me!

It's like the place where they plan and control how the development of Singapore will be done in the near future. Lol we use to have it too in DBKL, remember the KL Draft 2020?

But apparently when I drove all the way down there to found out it was only a book with stupid long clauses of rules and not a standard blue print is drawn. Even the full extension of the LRT is not laid out... (I was there to pay my DBKL summon actually)

This is the Serangoon area. I guess they are building some parks and dams.

Chinatown and Marina area. Can you spot where am I in the pic? (Tips: URA is near the Chinatown)

The massive Marina Bay project.

Orchard Road with the addition of MORE shopping centres... I guess they never get enough of that.

ION Orchard, it was still building when I was there (1.5 year ago) Should be very much done by now.

The Sands at Marina. Still finding it odd and ugly.

Marina Bay and all the new attractions

Eye On... I mean Singapore Flyer.

Ngee Ann City and Takashimaya

This is the interesting part. Something we hardly see here. Lol transpency is the name.

I also went to Terminal 3. The new terminal of Changi Airport. It was new when I was there. And nope I didn't go there by plane. I took the Paya Lebar station MRT. Lol was there just to take a look. Lol at least I live in the east so it was not that far.

The Departure Hall but it's the old T1 or T2

The link from the MRT

Me likey the travelators

T3... the new Departure Hall

Weird fins on the ceiling.

A very green terminal

3-Top (tree top) the third floor of T3 where the F&B are located

Sake Tenpayaki... I was new to Msia when I was there... now we had it too also

Then you will encounter this huge weird flower...

With a bunch of weird students... nope they are not from China

But Japan... OMG what the heck are they doing there and packing? Kok Hong please don't do that in KLIA.

The signage the is funny too. What do you mean by no studying? Lol apparently only applies to NUS and NTU student which normally hangs out in the airport just to study coz it's quite. This is what you get when you have an airport in the city. Heck hell I will drive to KLIA just to study.

And also let's lambai!

ADV: What's On With The Latest Malaysian Properties?

2009-06-10T00:39:00.002+08:00

Another great site on the property of Malaysia is (http://www.propwall.my/) Malaysia property. This is a site which allows user to log in and discuss and share opinion on the property around KL and beyond.

Photos and questions can be post and fellow users will comment and help out on enquiries about the discuss property. As it is running for sometime i find it very interesting for me to update myself on the latest projects which is carried out in Malaysia.

And for those are into the property surveying field, I guess it is a place to do discussion on the value of the area as informations such as price, developer, property details and even analysis can be found in there.

But for me as an architecture students, looking at the newest design on the current projects gives me some idea what I would like to do in the near future. At least that is what I hope to do. :)

ADV: Having Problem With Your Room Rental?

2009-06-10T00:33:00.007+08:00

Try this local site (www.caribilik.my) rooms for rent, and hopefully this might help you lots. After all this is free, so there's nothing much to lose.

Being a student in a local university college I witness friends especially those in their first year struggle to get a place to stay and at the same time juggling with orientation and preparation to start a new life in the new university life.

Having presented with provided hostel by the uni which is normally much more expensive than a room which is rented by a private owner, students might feel a little pressured having to choose between a much more economical choice from a much more troublesome option. Having in mind students from outstation or not familiar with the particular area may find hard to do research and know the actually pricing when it comes to room renting.

The worse case scenario is that you might even need to rent a whole house by urself as you can find a room mate in time as you about to move.

So now with a site in town which cater for students and beyond which is out to look for a place to stay and minus the trouble to running around doing research on the area. The best thing is that not only you can find a room which is suitable for you, you can also post up room in your which you wanted to rent it out to minus the burden of the heavy rental.

Movie Marathon

2009-05-24T23:38:00.004+08:00

I guess it's summer summer again hence the sudden explotion of summer movies. Lol watch two today due to the fact that The Bee is back and was buzzing around to get me and Hao Ran to fix her laptop. Lol too bad it is not fix at the end of the day. Just call the technician okay?

Haha yeap the 1st one is Star Trek...

I know, I know, I'm not a fan of that geek show too. Lol but I use to be a geek. Am I? Lol maybe not intelligent enough to be one.

Really irritating to see the fans have the special hand signs and able to memorize every single character in the series. Mind you they are in thight pants and afro... Lol

But believe me other than the weird 70's fashion sense in the future 200 years and the stupid hand gesture. It was a pretty awesome action movie with a story line which Star Trek noob will be able to follow... ie: The Bee

It give it around the price of a weekend ticket: RM12 not so to the point of the Premiere Class yet.

Next would be Night at The Museum 2

Lol judging from the 1st one, this one is a no brainer. LOL the whole time... other than me which unable to do so due to the lack of sleep

But I did LOL in my head. Lol

Do look out for Darth Vader and Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street.

Worth: RM12 weekend tickets (Lol exactly what I paid so no complains)

Since I watched Angels and Demons in Penang, why don't I just tell you how good it was...

It was freaking good. Very nail biting... though the only turn down is that it only able to capture 30% of the novel in terms of the antimatter.

Lol it was merely just a bomb. Darn!

But it gives a new 'liveness' to the movie which was not shown in the book (due to my lack of imagination)

Worth: This I shall say Premiere Class that cost freaking 20 bucks that comes with a free glass of water. It can do Gold Class but due the fact antimatter is just a bomb... lol too bad!

Trivia: Sony and Imagine Entertainment organized an eco-friendly shoot, selecting when to shoot locations based on how much time and fuel it would save, using cargo containers to support set walls or greenscreens, as well as storing props for future productions or donating them to charity.

Heading to bed now. Ciaoz

I'm Back! Seriously...

2009-05-24T03:29:00.005+08:00

After coming back from Penang and much resting (lazing) done, as I promised, I'm back blogging.

And the 1st I'm going to blog is none other than our favourite Msian topic.... Our goverment. And guess what they are up to? (Meant to be answer by Kok Hong in Japan only because I guess the rest of us know that already)

They are building a third bridge from Johore to Singapore!

Yeap, a freaking third bridge.... Will be another croocked bridge? We are still yet to know....

But wait a minute... aren't Malaysia currently under recession that the last budget they have to review all the major project in Penang. If they were to be so poor... then what happen to the Penang Monorail, Penang Upper Ring Road and PGCC that is put away?

The supposed Penang Monorail

The Penang Upper Ring Road

The Penang Global City Centre (PGCC)

Did I mention that they paid American architects to design this... There go another big sum of money...

So, what happen? Hmm, who wants to guess?

C Y'all Soon

2009-05-16T06:21:00.001+08:00

Off to Penang and will be back soon!
