Weekdays morning activity

Did you ever go to the market with your parents even once in your life time ? or you just simply hate to go market because of the smelly fish that stinks !? Some of us choose to do shopping at a Supermarket where everything is so convenient but in terms of price of course it will be more expensive. Air-conditioned mar, what do you expect ? But personally thinks that food from supermarket are not as fresh as those you can get from the wet market ? Although they put a sign board saying "fresh"...aarrhhh, do you believe it ?

Almost every once of a week, I will be bringing my uncle to the wet market before I start my day at IDS. Sometimes I am quite pity to my uncle where he alone has to buy 8 person's portions of food to be ready for that particular week. 8 person's portion can be a lot ! Just imagine if he take everything by himself without my help. Even with my help, my finger also turns blue and purple ! His idea is to have a separate day of shopping each week. So he chose Wednesday morning(might vary at times) and Saturday evening.
This is the place where he always go for Wednesday morning shopping. Saturday evening also would be the same place but more variety and it's at the other side of the above location. I will be following his car to the market every Saturday evening but not this Saturday !(that's why ends up blogging here). He said he has something else to do, ask me no need to follow him. Ok, fair enough. The people from the market ALWAYS ask him the same questions "Eh? your son arr?", which makes me so embarrassing. Since my uncle has no voice to talk(gone through a cancer operation of his throat), I would probably need to explain to them. It can be very irritating at times.

Can you spot him in the picture ? :p he is wearing blue stripe T-shirt bargaining with people for the price. For your information, these people here are selling illegally without any license(Welcome to Malaysia). They are not suppose to sell it here since it's a parking place. But, they sell it very cheap(Terms and Conditions applied).They will be off after 9a.m. I have learned a lot from my uncle(I call him Ku Zhang) of how to buy good vegetables. So that next time when I move out from his house, I should be able to do it by my own.
Normally he will buy chicken, fish, and sometimes oyster from our famous Sarawak No.1 reseller of cold storage; namely CCK. I came across their delivery van that wrote something on it. It says "THE FOOD PEOPLE OF CHOICE" (It's definitely CHOICE even the "C" is missing). Is there anything wrong with the grammar ? Isn't it suppose to be named as "THE FOOD OF PEOPLE'S CHOICE" ?? @.@!? Not too sure as my grammar sucks too. Correct me if I am wrong !

Alright, that's all for my grandfather story.

I'm so in love !

I came across this cute Fiat 500 last week. It's so so so so so cuteeeee !! I just can't resist it. It turns out to be my latest dream car ! The all new Fiat 500 is exactly 50 years after the first Fiat 500 is presented. It looks like a cute version of Volkswagen New Beetle and BMW MINI. It were said to be more cheaper than those two cars mentioned. The projected price is around £6000, which is around RM42,000(not yet included government tax). I think plus government tax would be around RM100,000 but hey, still cheaper than Volkswagen New Beetle and BMW MINI !!

It will be so nice if you can drive this kind of car around city with low maintenance. These includes fuel consumption, replacement of engine oil, and even car wash ! Especially when you want to go for shopping just with your loves one. It's light and easy kind of feeling. Here are some photos to share... love it ! It looks sporty too ! Don't you think so ? :p






Start dreaming...hey ! hey ! hey ! Everything starts from dream, ok ? Dare to dream means at least you are one step nearer to your goal !

Airbus A380

No doubt, the Airbus A380 the world largest airplane took the largest passenger to lift off the runaway few days ago. It consists of four Rolls Royce engines—which each provide about 70,000 lbs. of thrust. Airbus A380 model number 007, is configured to hold 520 passengers, sounds scary eh ? It sounds like the The Unbeatable Titanic that brought such big number of passengers sunk within one night.



The cabin noise level is about 50% less than what you would experience on a 747. It's build in a two deck architecture where business class is designed to be on the top deck and economy class at the bottom deck. The top deck is no doubt more spacious and more comfortable. They promised to give a more than a four-star hotel service for the top deck. In that case, the top deck would definitely much much much more expensive than the bottom deck. They have a bar inside as well ! I was wondering, if in future they will build a swimming pool inside a Airbus...hehehehe...

Watch their video for more detail ... There is also a video showing how it was assembled, very interesting ! A MUST WATCH video !








So, start saving money today so that when they launched this A380 in Malaysia, we will be able to fly together !

My House

After so many years of research, survey, consideration, savings, and praying+fasting...at last, I have decided to own my very own property. It will be my biggest commitment at least for the next few years. I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks to my parents for allowing me to cheat their money supporting me financially.

It's located at Jalan Song.

Reason for buying this house
  1. Build by Ibraco Berhad
  2. Flood Free
  3. High Land Area
  4. Noise Free
  5. Accessible to UNIMAS(University Malaysia Sarawak)
  6. Accessible to Airport
  7. Near to city (5 minutes from city)
  8. Very Spacious (27 feet wide)
  9. Shophouses are just a stone throw away
  10. Family Park (Taman Sahabat) is also a stone throw away
The price is around RM3XX,XXX ! So from today onwards, I will need to eat maggie mee and plain water in order to fulfill my monthly installment.

Some of you might think that it would be so nice to own a house. But I tell you the truth, it's just the beginning of the nightmare ! If I would have a choice, I will choose to stay together with my family rather than paying thousands of Ringgit to the bank out of my wallet every month. So, those who has the opportunity to stay with your parents, give thanks to the Lord you don't need to buy your own house !

Google Reader simply the best

I've seen a lot RSS Reader and have used them and I found that Google Reader is so far the best. I was using Bloglines before I was introduced by my colleague the almighty Google Reader. This is simply because some of the web pages are not properly displayed in Bloglines, but Google Reader ! I have been using it for a few months and find it very user friendly.

You might be asking why do I need a RSS Reader. Basically it's used to know what are the updates from various sites without visiting the site randomly to check for updates. It can be used in Blog as well. You want to find out if that blogger has any updates, then I would say Google Reader is your best helper. I mean those Google fans out there will definitely loves their interface design. The clean and light-weight design. This is of course provided that the blogger has the feeds subscriber in order for you to subscribe. Blogger.com does provide us with the feeds subscriber. You can turn them on at the "Settings" tab in "Site Feed" tab.


Google Reader
With bloglines, all of the images alignment were running out of its original position. But in Google Reader, it is properly aligned as how it should be in the original post. Btw, the latest Bloglines might have already fixed that bug.
You can find my feed in my blog also. Right-click on the link and choose "copy link location"
...then paste the address here and click "Add". So next time you don't need to keep browsing my blog without any updates ! unless you want to find me in my chatterbox :">

...and of course everything has its Pros and Cons and depending on your needs. Some of us felt bored when visiting a blog and has no updates ! So, to resolve this frustration, you can use Google Reader to check if there is any updates from the sites or blogs. But, some of us prefer their reader to visit their blog even there is no updates of post. This is to make their visit meter to increase day by day or simply making their blog looks more lively with the chatterbox. So, it depends on how you want them to work on.
