This is what happen when the Apartment's Management gets hungry

Yesterday afternoon around 12pm, My housemate messaged me and informed me that my car was clamped. The most furious thing is that my car was parked at the correct bays, which is reserved for my unit, so by any means they shouldn't clamp my wheels. Sound's ridiculous isn't it?

Of course in order to release my clamp, I went to talk to the staff in the management office. I was clamped with the reason of no apartment stickers was sticked on my windscreen. First of all there is no single notice stated that vehicles without stickers will be clamped, and the worse thing is that they demand RM50 from me in order to release the clamp.

It really boils up my blood, and they thought that they are the king in this apartment. Luckily the supervisor of the security guards know me, and he open up the clamp for me. Else I would rather pay locksmith to open this thing than giving those idiots RM50. They find all ways to earn our money and finding all the lame excuse for it. Sigh.... if you want to buy/rent an apartment in future, do some research on the apartment's management.

Secret Recipe Durian Durian Cake is Back

Just now, Nico and I went for dinner at Equine Park and decided to take a walk at Jusco there. Our main motive is to spend away all the Jusco vouchers that I've collected all year long from various of events organized by my company. After finish shopping there, we buy some cakes home for desert. We walked into Secret Recipe and I was scratching my head what cake should I buy as most of the cakes there are cheese cake. Then suddenly I saw a yellow cake which look cheezy, but when I looked closer, it was actually the limited time durian cake called "Durian Durian". The first question which came across my mind was "is that contains cheese?". Then Nico asked the salesgirl if the cake contains cheese. The salesgirl give us a strange look and replied "No!". Haha.. Lucky me.. Straight away I bought a slice of that and give it a try.

When we open the typical red-box that house the slice of cake, the durian aroma was pretty nice. It looks abit watery and I thought that it's sure ran out of the original taste. However when I take a bite, the durian taste is pretty strong as if you take a bite of durian and a bite of cake. It was really nice and is worth to try that piece of cake again. Personally give the cake 4.8 out of 5. :)

I am back and Connected!

Streamyx Combo 1MB package is what I am getting after many considerations. The process of getting the phone line installed, and getting streamyx up and running in my new place is quite ease. I took 2 trips to TM building located at Cyberjaya, first time for applying the phone line and second time to take the modem since I opted for self installation. Those who interested, this is for your information... All I have to pay was :
RM75 for registration fees (Streamyx Combo)
RM10 for stamp duty
RM40 for phone line installation
so in total was RM125.

At last I choosen to have this duo combinations - Billion ADSL Modem + Netgear WGR614 Wireless Router + Switch due to budget constraints. All-in-one devices (ADSL Modem + Wireless Router + Switch) cost RM120 more than the one without modem functionality. :S

Configuring both of the device was pretty easy as you would hardly goes wrong with the wizard provided by both the modem and the router.

At last, I am connected... yeay... :)

Boss wedding reception

Came to KL since 2003, which is 5 years ago, and I've been planning to spare some time for myself to have a visit to the tallest tower in Malaysia, the KL Tower. Actually, I've never been to a tower before. Thanks to my boss I had an opportunity to visit KL Tower for free (Well.. exclude the red packet for the new weds) as his wedding reception for KL was held in that tower.

As soon as we reach on top of Bukit Nenas (which is where KL Tower was built on top of it), we were busy running around and taking pictures like a tourist who never see a KL Tower before. :D

When we reach on the top, which is the reception hall, we were still busy taking pictures. Of course we behave ourself during the dinner as we don't want to miss out the good food.

After the ceremony ends, we start to run around and taking pictures again. You must be wondering since we kept on taking pictures, but I only publish a few pictures here. I can only tell you that my Sony Ericsson P1i can't perform well during night time, so can't expect much from that. :D

A little wonderland at the corner of the banquet hall.

Opps.. someone steals the baloon from the banquet.... :P

VivoCity @ Singapore

Just went back from Singapore today as we went to visit our relatives over there. We are stuck in the traffic jam while we are going to to Singapore as most of the people are rushing out as most of them starts to work on tomorrow.

After visits my aunt house, we decided to go Vivo City for a walk, Since many people says that Vivo City was a great place to shop. As today is weekend, there are surely many people there, and my aunt place was just opposite the MRT stations, so we go there by taking public transport. I know I am bit out of date as this is my first time visit Vivo City though it was there quite a long time already.

MRT is what they call for the commuters in Singapore, just like LRT in KL. Buying ticket for the commuters was pretty easy there as you can buy tickets for other commuter service as well. Imaging you in KL and you travel between Rapid KL Kelana Jaya Line to Ampang Line and monorail, you only need to buy ticket once. Commuter service in Singapore was well linked too as all was inter-connected, unlike in KL, you would need to walk for certain distance to reach stations of the other lines.

After taking MRT from Admiralty to Dhoby Ghaut, then to Outram Park, more than 1 hour rides, we finally reached our destination. Taking a few rounds in Vivo City, actually for me it was just a typical shopping mall with many branded shops. Just like The Gardens or Pavilion in KL. The only special part of the mall was the park on the roof of the shopping complex. At a glance you can see the ports and sentosa island is just opposite the sea. Future casino (WIP) can be seen too... :P

I stop there and takes some pictures until it was getting late. LOL...

Lazy Day to begin a Lazy Week

Monday, Feb 5, 2008.... This is the first day of the week for weekdays, and yet I felt so tired and lazy to work. Is that a sign of demotivation? Perhaps... Office was quite empty today as most of the people off back to their hometown for Chinese New Year holiday. I am going back to JB on this wednesday, hence Monday and Tuesday was still my working days. Wondered why I am so hardworking? The answer would be $. I would not get paid if I off for even one days. In another words, No work No pay. Some of my colleagues bought their Sony Play Station Portable for a great deal of RM795. I wish I could join them so much honestly. Too bad I don't have money for that.

Aih.. besides feeling lazy, there are many things that needs to be worried about for me. Thinking about the plan of how to spend my Chinese New Year without getting bored, finding more money for this month, finding another room/house as my rental contract going to end very soon and I have no thoughts of continuing it.

Sigh~~~... JB... I am coming...

My N70 was gone

I was planned to use this phone for about 2 years before I decides to change a new one. However that bugger theif, spoilt my plan and I was now headache to think on what phone should I buy.

Alrite this is how it was happened:

Yesterday, Nico and I was out to Sg Wang to buy some clothes for coming Chinese New Year. As we walked out of the mall, the sky already turned dark which I think it was around 7pm so we decided to return back to home. We took a City (Bandar) Rapid KL bus from Bukit Bintang to Pasar Seni, and then walked to Pasaramakota where the Rapid KL bus interchange located. We would need to take U88 in order to back to Pelangi Damansara there, however the bus did not appeared on schedule.

After a long wait, finally U88 appears and the crowds started to squeeze one another in order to get up on the bus. I knew most people get pick pocket'ed during this situations, so I told Nico to be careful with her things. Well at the same time I was taking care of my belongings too and at that moment my phone was still in my pocket. However those people there are pushing one another, and I finally get through of the crowd and went on board of the bus. That is the moment I realized that my phone was gone.

They are really skilled, and I really took my hats off for that damn theif. They managed to sense where my phone located and pick it out without anybody aware of it. I didn't even ever took my phone out since I was at Sg. Wang.

Now my N70 was gone. Is not just a phone. N70 is my
1. Phonebook
2. Organizer for Notes, Task, Calenders
3. Mp3 player
4. Lite Camera
5. Torchlight
6. Alarm Clock
7. Book (I stored some e-books in there and usually read that when I wait for bus)
8. Game device (My favorite game "The Sims" are gone)
9. Dictionary
10. Bible
11. Video player
12. Sound/Video recorder

and of course my Contacts, SMS'es, Photo's, Video's which stored in the memory card, and my SIM cards. It just sux.

So who to blame? My Luck? Forget about it. Even if I lodge a police report, I guess they would just proudly says "Biasa LAH" (Means "it's common" in malay language) and no action taken.

Genting Highland Trip

Last saturday morning, Nico and I had to wake up early because we had actually planned a one-day trip to Genting Highland. From Cyberjaya to Genting Highland was actually quite far so we get up on 6:30am in order to reach the peak before 12PM.

7:15AM - We boarded on the local bus, Rapid KL (T429) from Cyberjaya to Putrajaya Sentral.

7:30AM - Reach Putrajaya Sentral and waited for few minutes before we could board on the bus which goes to KL City which is (E1).

8:10AM - We reached KL Sentral and as we're hungry, we went for McD for breakfast. Well as usual I would just take the Big Breakfast.

9:00AM - We thought that, ok it's time to get the tickets for bus to the hill, however when we reach the sales counter, it was already a long queue there. Sigh.. I should knew it earlier that surely many people would go up to Genting Highland during weekend. So to avoid the crowd, we decided to go Gombak and see if we managed to get an early ticket through Kelana Jaya line LRT.

9:45AM - We reached Gombak (Terminal Putra LRT Station) which is another place that has the shuttle bus service to Genting Highland skyway. To our surprise, there is a queue too. I am the 20++ people behind the queue. That's not too bad compared to KL Sentral.

10:45AM - We finally managed to buy the tickets. Yea.. the queue moved extremely slow. RM30.10 for two person's through and flow tickets which inclusive of Skyway. Expensive? I have no idea on that.

11:20AM - We boarded the shuttle bus to Genting and we reached Genting Skyway station at almost 12PM. I think should be around 30++ minutes, we reached the peak. I am not sure how long it actually takes, as I didn't really see the time.

We took almost half day to reach the peak from Cyberjaya. (TnT)

The food in Genting Highland was really expensive. A typical dumpling noodle or wanton noodle priced at RM12, and it only consist of 3 dumpling/wanton per serving. Luckily our food was sponsored by Annie. Hahaha... :P After the lunch, Annie went back to work, so Nico and I was walking around Genting Highland to take pictures. As Christmas Day was just passed, we managed to see some of the decorations which they had not removed. Nothing special but some of it was cute.


Decorations outside the Genting Highland Hotel.


I love the feeling of covered by the clouds.


This path gives you good foot reflexology. Anyone love to try?


Christmas?

As I mentioned earlier, we actually planned for 1 day trip however when we roam around, there was a guy gave us tickets for F.I.R. Showcase @ Arena of Stars, 8PM. Hohoho.. since is free so we decided to take a look, and because of this we can't go back to Cyberjaya on the same day.


F.I.R. showcase tickets :).

Luckily we managed to sold our return tickets away for RM16 and Nico's brother Yugene was there for company vacation, so we managed to overnight in his room. :D

We return back to KL on Sunday morning by taking Genting bus. We bought the ticket from First World Hotel bus station for RM5+ only. It was the direct shuttle from Genting Highland bus station to Titiwangsa LRT station. Well this is cheap, but the bus condition was worst than Rapid KL. LOL...

That's all for my story on Genting Trip.

Graduation Nite

Event occured : 12 February 2007

Venue : Berjaya Times Square Hotel (Manhathan Ballroom - 12 Floor)



This is the nite which we all gather together with our coursemates celebrating our graduation nite. After tonight most probabily we won't get to see each other as frequent as we used to be already. Perhaps some of them are still will going back to college for the convocation, but I think there would be quite an amount of my coursemates are leaving Malaysia to Liverpool Jone Moores University to top up for their degree programme. As I am not as rich as them, I had to stay back. :P



As the price compared to the night, to be frank, I dont think that is really worthwhile. We just enjoy taking photos, and walking around chatting, and hanging around with our friends in the ballroom only.



Enough for the not interesting comment, below are some pictures taken on that night by my classmates, Seng Hao and other friends...

At outside before it starts

Well... have to do spring cleaning for chinese new year starts from tommorow already... :S

Packing up

Later I would be moving back my stuff back to JB already, so today spend few hours on packing my stuff up. Actually I don't have many things to move, just that those things that I need to move are simply huge. Those things such as cabinet, and my computer desk are the hardest thing to be moved. Oh ya... I still kept my computer intact, if not I can't typing here already. LOL..

Hey those plastic bags taken from PC Fair indeed useful at this moment.

Hmm.. I would be staying here till 13 February, as I have to attend the graduation night at Berjaya Times Square on Monday. Hmm.. what to wear ler? Any suggestion? LOL... hope that everyone would enjoy that most memorable nights of our lives and friends forever.

Maybe after this, the only chance we all would meet up is during the convocation day already. Hope that I could pass all my paper smoothly la... :P
