Safety Violation!!!

If you ever think how the road end..living in Malaysia, basically this can be one of the reason. Spiderman could have save this train from dropping from the rail.

I was thinking if this rail is not fully completed, why there isn't any blockage before this train went into the prohibited area?

Recycle, a name?

In our house, when we decide for a name, it has to be agreed by all. So how can 'Recycle' can be named? Sure it does have something to do with it.. and all of us agree!
So what happened after our left extra food? We need to recycle it. Or else it would be a waste. We decided to have our new dog to recycle for us. Her name is called 'Recycle'. Or you just can call her Recy-gal. or Gal.

Look that Recy-gal having our egg yolk which left over by us.

After all, she still a happy dog & fun for us too.

Valentine's Day Special

This year was really bit special. So what does Valentine's Day mean to you?
I get a chance to rephrase Valentine's Day this year 2007. It's about loving a person ALSO loving the society.

18:00 I received a sms from my colleague

" Hi guys, my gf father is currently in ICU, which condition is quite critical. He is in need of blood. If u wud be able to donate. pls call me!"

I called him right away. Then another 50km travel from Kulim to Penang Island for the blood donation.

I have some doubt with myself whether I am able to donate blood. Reason is that 2 months before, after just back from Europe (too much pork), I went for blood donation held in my company, they rejected saying my blood pressure was abit high. So the subsequent 2 months, I did something that really turn things around. Joining gym & yoga.

So this time, I got a GREEN light last night. No problem said from the nurse. Everything is perfect for a fat guy like me to drain some blood.

So at no time, I was there ready to drain out some blood. Opps.. allow me to introduce Alvin (person next to me). We work together. If you remember my previous blog about my trip to Ipoh, yea.. he is the person to bring us around Ipoh showing us the best food in town.

Why I am holding an Ang Pow? Tell you later.

So donating blood on Valentine's Day. It's not about dinner & roses.
For me it's about how you can be loving and caring to the others.

So this is the Ang Pow given by the family I went to help. At the end, it's not how much my I get. It's about how people showing their appreciation. All my blessing to them.

Last Tribute to Johnson (My Best Friend)

This is the last photo I took for Johnson at the backyard when I am just back from Germany. He was still strong. I was told by my family that he sufferred kidney failure & heart worm. They have no choice but to put him to sleep on 12 Feb 2007.

Johnson is a good dog, he did his job well. I believe all dogs go to heaven. So Johnson, I wish you all the best.

PUAT, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Guys, I just want to share what does the locals say about cents. In my hometown, when we say 50 cents, not the Artist 50 cents, I mean when asked for 50 cents, we said, ' 5 kak'.

Here they say '5 puat'. what does it mean anyway? I really have no idea. Maybe just have to know more locals to find out. So what you are seeing in the picture is 7 puat when I pay 1 ringgint for my drink.

Today's Topic : Chemistry

If you are studying science, you must ever come across Periodic Table of Elements.
Now this table represent the world or universe is form by all these elements.

Highlight of today is the one circle in RED. Germanium (Ge)

Ever wonder why it's called Germanium? Well first thing that comes to your mind is Germany.
Yes! you are right.

Germanium was discovered by Clemens Alexender Winkler about 100 years ago in the state of Saxony in German. This element serve as the basic material for electronic components.

Until the late 1950s, all diodes and transistors are made of Germanium. Later, Silicon (Si) has won out Germanium due to cost effectiveness.

Otherwise, Silicon Valley might have called Germanium Valley.

That's I am end up working with Silicon everyday.

New Handphone Design

By the way, as far as I know. Siemen no longer make handphone. Siemen sell off the handphone business to BenQ and BenQ has filed Brankruptcy.

My brother said to me for my case, going to Gym is like him going to KLIA. But tell you all one thing, it has alot more to offer. Just read more.
Ok ok.. time for Gym in Penang. My sister said since I took up yoga, I look younger. Dunno true or not. But it never stop from getting fit even it's 50km away.

The moment I am out from Kulim, ta lah... pay pay... here. RM1.30

Cross the the border from Kedah to Penang.

If you still remember, Kedah used to be the place growing rice. The land is flat. This the first that fascinated the most when I touch down Penang on the way to for interview. Looks pretty amazing as it looks exactly like the Malaysian Kind of Story of Kampung Life.

Pay RM1.30 for the second from Kulim <-> Butterworth Highway (BKE).

Get to by pass Mc Donald's at the Caltex Gas Station open 24 hours. If your preffer KFC, just hoop to Petronas next to it.

Get to by pass another toll that soon to complete. No idea how much it cost us again. You see we pay for the tax that is not less from what we can afford and yet we still get to pay for road after paying for road tax & salary tax. I prefer not have highway give me better reason to drive slow or late for work. Hehe.

Get to see weird traffic lights. Which will you follow if one of it turn green?

Ok.. now I am in Butterworth. Crossing the next traffice light will take me to the ferry terminal.

Of course before taking the ferry service, must pay first. RM7.70 for return trip.

If you very been to Denmark from Germany, taking a ferry like that this can cost as much as 40 euro. That is about RM170 per trip. For Malaysia, it's the cheap that can offer. Only RM3.85 per trip. Haha... well Malaysian just always wanted get things for free always.
