Needs HELP!

You see, I am using a Nokia E90 and recently, it has been giving me some problems. Is it me or does phones nowadays have a significantly shorter lifespan?

Anyway, I need some recommendation for phone repair shops. I have heard many stories about dishonesty with them shops. Apparently they change the internal parts too. Is that real? Sigh.. S A D !

Anyway, the E90's earpiece has gone cuckoo! I have to use my headsets wherever I go and its not convenient at all. Need to get it fixed. Asked a shop in Digital Mall PJ, they said it could be many factors, i.e. the volume IC, the earpiece itself or even the ribbon connecting the both. *yawns*

Maybe its time to get a new phone! BB looks good! DiGi oh DiGi, when are you coming out with BB plans? Dont loose out on the current fight between H and X! If you cant beat them, join them!

Anyone experienced this problem before? Please advice! Thanks! And thanks in advance for your recommendation! =)

Till then, take care, God bless!

Sam Tsui, up and coming youtube talent I suppose.

Ever heard of Sam Tsui? Many of us chinese would have heard of Sam Hui the great Cantopop star.

Today, its about Sam Tsui and his side kick, Kurt Schneider. Anyway, I stumbled upon their videos at Marcus' blog.

Gave it a click and WOW! I was really impressed! Youtube talents are becoming better and better these days. They can really really sing, unlike those in talent competitions/reality tv or whatsoever. To me, this is what I call talent. Really IMPRESSIVE!

Enjoy and tell me if you are impressed by this. MJ fans, its a must watch.

Killing Me Softly...

This song explains what I am feeling right now. Its almost 7AM. I spent the night here in McDs SS15 trying to finish up an assignment and study for a test later at 10AM.

Assignments, tests, final exams, thesis, project. STIM!



Fugees & Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly

Stromin my pain with his fingers
Singin my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song x2
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Yea yea yea do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

I heard he sang a good song,
I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
Stranger to my eyes

Chorus:
Stromin my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singin my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song x2
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrased by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud,
I pray that he would finish
But he just kept right on

Repeat chorus

Wooooooaaaa ohhhhhhhhhh laaaa la la la la la la ohhh la laaa woaaa laa
Aaaalaaaaaa

Repeat chorus until fade

Latest! Maybank2u SCAM!

I discovered this new scam today. Usually I dont really check my junk mails but today, somehow I decided to go thru them one by one. And I stumbled upon this!

Guys and girl, please dont fall for these!

Check this out. Its a print screen from my email and I have already highlighted some important notices in the email that says its a scam.


1. From above, you can see that the sender's email is xxx@maybank2u.my. We all know that, Maybank2u is running on www.maybank2u.com.my and not as the above.

2. Then again, the whole email was signed off as www.maybank2u.com.my. But when I mouse over both the links, that was the link I got. That means, when you click on any of the 2 links, it does not bring you to the official Maybank2u website but to the link that is shown above.

This is taken from Maybank2u's Online FAQ.

1. What is phishing?

Phishing is a process where scamsters trick you into giving them your user IDs, passwords or credit card details, so that they can gain access to your online banking accounts.

Victims are known to receive phone calls, SMS or most frequently emails claiming to be from a bank or trading partner, asking them for personal information to re-register or update their accounts. Soon after they've provided this information, they usually find that their banking accounts have been cleared out.

2. How do I recognise a phishing scam / site?

Here are a couple of ways you can spot a phishing scam

* you receive a phone call, SMS or email asking you to provide personal/ security information or TAC
* a phishing email link, when clicked, will open into an un-secure login site, with its URL most likely to begin with http, instead of the secure https
* the phishing site's URL may contain misspelled words, like "Mybank" instead of Maybank.

3. How do I prevent phishing attempts?

Here are several safe tips to minimise threats of "phishing" and similar scams

* Do not trust any phone calls, SMS, e-mail, web and chat that requests for your personal details and identity.
* Never click on a URL link in an e-mail or fill out forms in e-mail messages and un-trusted websites.
* Go directly to your bank's web site to access Internet Banking and manually key in the company's web site address in the browser's URL bar.
* Keep up-to-date with the latest security patches. Update your Operating System and Internet Browser with the latest patches, making sure all security and critical patches are applied. Use anti-virus software and, if possible, personal firewalls. Ensure your anti-virus software is up to date with the latest signatures.
* Scanning your PC regularly from a popular anti-virus web site is also recommended.
* Lastly, if an online money-making scheme seems too good to be true, it probably is. This generally holds true for off-line schemes as well!

Again I say, dont ever fall for this. If not, Dato Michael Chong will be very busy again. LOL!

Till then, please be very careful of what you click online, take good care and God bless!

*UPDATE*
I received a reply from Maybank2u regarding this scam. This is what they said.

Dear Sir/ Madam

Thank you for your email.

We appreciate your effort in forwarding the e-mail to us.

Meanwhile, kindly ignore the email and we advise you NOT to log on to any website links contained in an e-mail. We wish to highlight the fact that Maybank will never send emails to customers requesting for personal information.

Please be assured that the relevant department is monitoring the progress closely and action would be taken to take down the phishing websites once it had been detected. However, we are unable to rule out the possibility that another website with a different URL may come up.

Hence, we would appreciate that you continue to ignore and delete such phishing emails.

Should you require any further assistance, you are welcome to contact our Customer Service Executives at telephone number 1 300 88 66 88 or 03-7844 3696 (overseas) 24 hours a day , 7 days a week.

RIP Yasmin Ahmad (1/7/1958 - 25/7/2009)

Internationally renowned Malaysian film director, Yasmin Ahmad has passed on to be in a better place at about 11.25pm on Saturday(25/7/2009).

I believe this is a big blow to many of us. Known for especially for her heart moving festive season advertisements, they have indeed touched our hearts some way or another. It is worse when Hari Raya is around the corner and we will all be missing her heart moving ads.

Yasmin too broke the local film scene with several great Malaysian movies whom each of them talks about what our nation really is like. Not to forget the moral values that is instilled in them. It all began with "Sepet" in the year 2004 all the way up to "Talentime" that came out this year.



We will all miss you(and your ads and movies too!) Yasmin, it was all GREAT while you were at it.

RIP Yasmin. My heartfelt condolences goes out to her family and closed ones.

WOMEN WINS?(SOMETIMES lah)

In life, its true that sometimes women win. Just got this forwarded mail and it seems quite true but I know, not all of them will happen to me.

In a way, some man are just plain..... You know what I want to say. :)

Here it is, just for LAUGHTER this Monday morning.

WIFE VS. HUSBAND

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument andneither of them wanted
to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats,
and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?'
'Yep,' the wife replied, 'in-laws.'

W O R D S

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat
everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'

CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.' The wife responded,
'Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted
to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!'

THE SILENT TREATMENT

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving
each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the
next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early
morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the
silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Please wake me at
5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it. The next
morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had
missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife
hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The
paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

LOL! Till then, take care and God bless!

p.s. Men, dont get caught with these again. Sometimes, its just easier to give in. =) IMHO, ego KILLS!

Celebrating with the CHAMPIONS!

Its a good day today! Bright and sunny. *bliss*

Anyway, Man Utd is down in town. I wont be watching them though. =( None the less, tonight I'll be meeting one of the greats of that club.

"The Spirits of Champions Party" is on tonight at Metropol Bar & Bistro, Menara Hap Seng. The party hosted by Smirnoff "Official spirits sponsor and official responsible drinking partner of Manchester United"



Bryan "Robbo" Robson is going to be there. I'm excited! Hoping that the whole team would be there too! *keeping my fingers crossed* Its gonna be an awesome night I hope.



Holler me if you are going tonight! Till then, see you guys tonight!
Take care and God bless..

Jeng, Jeng, Jeng4!

As random as this would be, someone sent me a cheque last night. Fwah! Free $$ who dont want? =P





Anyway, thanks to the ANONYMOUS sender. You ROCK! WooHoo!

1234 OneTwoThreeFour

Plain White T's - 1234

The title may sound funny but yes, it brings a whole new meaning to 1,2,3,4 being mere numbers. These numbers maybe the basic to mathematics but here, they are needed for a perfect relationship. Check it out at the end of the post.

Call me outdated but I have actually heard this song sometime back on the radio.
This is my song of the month! Not only is the song a meaningful one but I love the music behind it. Well, my kinda song I would say.

Besides, watch the video! A simple yet meaningful one. With random people appearing in it makes it simply amazing!

This is for you guys. Watch it!

Plain White T's - 1234



Sue,
There's only 1 thing, 2 say, 3 words, 4 you.....

I LOVE YOU! :)

Till then, take care, God bless!

Ever felt CHEATED before?

Anger*ON*

3 and a half days of work,

Only RM360? WTF! Ridiculous! Is this how you treat your workers? What was promised was different!

If that is, I am sorry, that was my last. Thank you.

Yeah, you might not need me anymore but I'll make sure no one ever fall under this bullcrap anymore.

Yes, PDQ, that's you!

Goodbye.

Anger*OFF*

wEtwEtwAtEr's Supper - The Burger Shop, SS15, Subang Jaya

It was late at night, the girlfriend was hungry(hiaks!). After hours of revision in McDs, we decided to grab a snack before heading home.

Headed down to The Burger Shop in SS15. It has been a long time since I gave that place a visit. Indeed they serve one of the best Ramly in town. Not to forget the varieties of Ramlys they have.

Their Mushroom Burger is a MUST try. Usual Ramly meat patties lightly fried topped with button mushroom fried with onions. Some salad and vege and you are good to go!


Mushroom Beef Burger.(Burger Daging Mushroom)


Special Beef Burger.(Burger Daging Special)

Burger bun could also be replaced with Pita bread for a little extra.

Go check them out!

The Burger Shop is located along the same road as Restoran Darussalam and Restaurant Silva's in SS15. They operate in a small van parked at the road side. You cannot miss them. Just follow the crowd. Don't wait anymore. Go now!

Scantily clad women make better fishermen...

According to Mr.Timbang Kati, this is part of the chinese culture. Hmm.. How true would that be? Let the readers judge.

Timbang Kati held a glorious dinner session for the mainly chinese populated fishing village of Kuala Sepetang and got all the fishermen hooked up!

Besides the yummy-licious food(check it out in the video), the fishermen were also given a treat of sexy ladies in BLUE giving them a gala night!

Check these out! I wish I was at Kuala Sepetang too! I'm sure they all enjoyed themselves very much. Yummy-licious food, drinks, songs and dance performances and girls... all these F.O.C! Where to find? Only at Negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku...


I want to be there!


Woohoo!!!


More!!!

Lastly,

Till then, enjoy yourselves! God bless! =)

FREE car wash! No kidding! Its FREE!

Few days ago, on my way to uni, I spotted this new car wash place. They are located at the BHP Petrol Station in Taman Taynton. Near the Famous Duck Rice place.

Anyway, they have just started operating on the 2nd of April. And YES, they are offering FREE car wash for the time being until the 20th of April 2009. This free car wash is only exterior washing. If you wish to vacuum, extra charges would be incurred.

Then, its been some time since I last washed my car. I am very particular about washing my car. I do not trust everyone with my car because of some bad experiences with some car wash places. Anyway, since it was free, I went. Here's my experience;


FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!


1st Stage - High Pressure Water Jets


2nd Stage - Foaming and Scrubbing


3rd Stage - Machine Wash

Yeap! This place uses human + machine wash. When was the last time you went through a machine wash? I believe some of you never even tried them before. Ol' skool washing.

Here's a video of me inside the machine wash-

Fast and Furious 4 amat Pantas dan Garang!

Last night, thanks to Nuffnang, a bunch of us got to watch this much anticipated movie before anyone else does. To me, I think it was a great movie. As a car lover myself, I enjoyed every part of the show. The girls in the show were not to be missed either.

As usual Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and some hot chics gave a really exciting show. Even Sue loved it.




Dominic Toretto(Vin Diesel)


Brian O'Conner(Paul Walker)


Sweet E39 Beemer!


Letty(Michelle Rodriguez)



Mia Toretto(Jordana Brewster)


Gisele Harabo(Gal Gadot, Miss Israel 2004)

Not to spoil the show any further, watch this trailer if you have not.



Enjoy! Till then, take care, God bless!
Do not race on the roads! =)

Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) = Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

This is an old news but I think it amazes me.


Yes, the local police forces are now using Lancer Evolution X as part of their fleet. 25 of these are now sitting in the police base, waiting to pounce on their prey. Apparently, some forces were also sent to Japan for drivers' training. Hmm... Impressive!

Millions spent to make sure criminals don’t escape

KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian police has bought 25 high-powered Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution cars to catch criminals and speed hogs.

The cars, worth several millions of ringgit, would be fitted with safety gadgets and would sport the looks of police patrol cars.

These millions spent would in turn make a huge amount of revenue for the police forces. That's if work is done p-r-o-p-e-r-l-y.

“The cars are to be used in high-speed car chase, especially in cases of carjacking, kidnapping and hi­­jacking.

“The speed of the cars would enable the police to catch up with criminals who often used modified turbo charged cars to escape,” they said.

Those who are fond of driving fast, if these machines catch up with you, I guess you will have to fork out m-o-r-e. LOL!








Just so if ou are wondering how fast can they go. =)

Read the whole article HERE(The Star).

From now on, if you decide to be heavy footed, be AWARE!

Till then, take care, God bless!

A Taste Boutique - Heaven in a cupcake!

Aeons ago, on a bright and sunny Saturday morning, a phone call came in. Putra Heights was the place. The GPS was turned on and off we went! What a complicated journey?! I think without the GPS, we wouldn't have got there.

Anyway, after much driving, we were greeted by this.

A Taste Boutique is a family business experienced in making pretty cakes. We are passion in making good and flavorsome cake designed with great taste, every creation reflects our ideal attention to detail.

Icing and Fondant in many colors.


Cupcake decorating process.

We were introduced to their shop concept and the cupcakes making process. At A Taste Boutique, not so much emphasis is given on the icings/deco but the cupcakes flavour itself. Usually, you get fancy icings/deco on a vanilla or buttered flavored cupcake. Here besides the usual vanilla and butter cupcakes, they offer orange, chocolate chip, chocolate fudge, cookies & cream and of course their flagship best selling carrot walnut cupcake. Now this is something to look forward to.

Then comes the makan time, we were given various flavors of cupcakes to try. One word sums it all, heavenly! All the richness and sweetness in a cupcake. Where? A Taste Boutique definitely! They were indeed rich. Every bite was blissful.



The Carrot Walnut Cupcake, their flagship, best selling cupcake. The flavorful carrot cake added with chunky bites of walnut, the perfect combination to me. Not to forget the smooth cream cheese spread on it adds perfection to the already perfect combination. This is a MUST try.




(L-R) Orange, Cookies n Cream, Butter, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes.

All ready made cupcakes are priced at RM2.50 each which I think is very affordable. Custom make designs and decos are also available at a different price according to design.

Besides cupcakes, A Taste Boutique also makes a variety of other cakes and pastries. They too bake special birthday cakes or cakes for any occasion with any desired design. This I must say is pretty interesting.


Australian Lamingtons.

Australian Lamingtons are butter cake in cubes, coated with traditional rich chocolate icing and topped with dessicated coconut. This is something new to me and it was GOOD! A MUST try here too!


Red Velvet Cake

A Red velvet cake is a type of rich and sweet cake, with a distinctive dark red to bright red or red-brown color. Common ingredients include buttermilk, butter, flour, cocoa powder, and often either beets, or red food coloring. It is most popular in the Southern United States, though known in other regions. The most typical frosting for a red velvet cake is a butter roux icing also known as a cooked flour frosting. Cream cheese buttercream frostings are also popular.

Wikipedia

This is also something new to me. The first bite on this cakes sends you to thinking. Its unique taste makes you wonder what is in it. Mysteriously delicious I would say. =) This is also a flagship best selling cake here. A MUST MUST try if you haven't.


Interesting? Yes? No?


What about this?

Happy people that day,
