Fishy Fishy Fishy

Went for steamboat buffet after work at MP Restaurant, Ipoh (will blog about that later) and found some really interesting fishies on display.

Initially I didn't really take notice of them but somehow what seem to be some odd pattern on their body made me go in for a closer look.

Lo and behold.............

"I love you" fish"!?? Poor fishies had tattoo placed on their bodies. To be honest, I pity those fish. Why on earth would someone want to put this 3 words on a fish?

Just to be a bit cheeky, I wrote something on the suggestion box of the restaurant and it goes like this.

" To the management, Next time you want to tattoo your fish why not try "I Pwnd U"? "

With that, I left the restaurant bloated and with a big grin on my face.

2008 Perodua Kembara SUV

The much awaited 2008 Perodua Kembara SUV which is slotted to be launched in May 2008 was spotted on the Federal Highway recently.

The new Perodua will be powered by a 1.5 litre DOCH 16 valve DVVT engine and comes with 4WD. Unconfirmed sources indicate that the engine will be able to produce 105hp at 6000rpm and 140Nm of torque at 4400rpm. The fuel consumption of this baby would be around 16 sen per km.

The new Kembara will be fully imported from Japan. The price tag is expected to be higher than Toyota Rush. This would mean we will get a better equipped Kembara compare with Rush with price tag above 85k (OUCH!!).


The pictures here more or less confirms that the car would be based on Toyota Rush/Daihatsu Terios. Observe the 5 spoke wheel design of the above picture and compare it to the Daihatsu Terios below. Its virtually the same.




Definitely something to look forward to come May 2008

P.S The trailer pictures are taken off paultan.org

New Feature By Nuffnang - Ratings

I logged into my nuffnang account just now and noticed a new feature called ratings. As you click on analytics you should see a new box on the right under "List of Blogs"


So what does the starts mean? Click on the "what do the ratings mean?" and you will see this, which is pretty self explanatory.



I got 4 stars for all 3 category.

I guess with this in place, many nuffnangers might actually bug their friends to click on their adds to see if they can get a higher rating.

Anyways, neat work by the people at nuffnang.

5 Year Old Genius

Its amazing when we see talented children with minds/skills that are way beyond their peers.

A friend of mine gave me this link showing a blind 5 year old girl mesmerizing everyone with her skills on the piano. Whats more amazing is the fact that she had never had proper training and plays them by ear. She listens to the song and could improvise and play it on the piano. This clip even shows her accompanying a lady singing a Korean song thus proving that its not just a gimmick.

While watching this, I really felt touched by this talented 5 year old.

I hope you would as well

What A Beautiful Monday

Nothing brightens up a Lazy Monday then great sales. Today we did 400% sales more then the daily weekly target. I was more or less smiling all the way till the end of my working day.

*Ka Ching Ka Ching*

I also had 3 contact lens sales online, my first sales since I started it less then a week ago. That I am truly surprised. The site is not exactly done yet but I guess my friends are being helpful promoting it for me.

If anyone wish to get contact lenses do have a look. Even if you don't, feedback's are appreciated.

After work, I went to pasar malam and got 6 DVD's with a bunch of tit bits. I honestly think i got an addiction for pirated DVD's. I'll buy a minimum of 10 DVD's a month to keep but end up watching less then half of them.

A Super Lazy Sunday

One word to describe my Sunday. SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!~~~

It has been a long time since I have slept for a total of 10 hrs or more. Today I slept 14 hrs!! I dragged myself out of bed at 5pm after a freaking backache. Got to go for a dinner appointment later at 6.30. Not really up to it to be honest but I do not want to get my life shortened so I shall still go.

If you are into singing competitions and got sick and tired of lousy half past six Superstars like me, then you can try out this singing competition from Taiwan. Basically this singing competition brings in wannabe Chinese singers from all across the world (ie. Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, US) and instead of them being voted out by viewers, they are voted out by judges. The judges are very good at what they are doing and most of their comments were spot on. Definitely one of the better competitions to watch.

Here's the latest series via youtube for those interested

Have a good Sunday folks!

What A Load Of Crap

Read this piece of news from StarOnline and I nearly laughs my ass off.

Apparently in a 2 day seminar conducted by the Islamic Institute of Understanding Malaysia (Ikim) and the Syariah Judiciary Department Malaysia, a proposal was made to prosecute non-Muslims found committing khalwat (close proximity) with Muslims in the civil courts.

What a bunch of idiots.

Keeping their own people in check is their prerogative but to bring non-Muslims to court because they were caught with their pants down in raids? Thats a big ass joke. There is no way this can hold water at civil court. Consensual intimacy is not against the law.

Here's the full report

Proposal to prosecute non-Muslims for khalwat

By IZATUN SHARI

KUALA LUMPUR: A seminar on Syariah Law review wants non-Muslims found committing khalwat (close proximity) with Muslims to also be held liable.

This was among the proposals made at the two-day seminar organised by the Islamic Institute of Understanding Malaysia (Ikim) and the Syariah Judiciary Department Malaysia.

Syariah Court of Appeal Judge Datuk Mohd Asri Abdullah said the seminar had proposed that non-Muslims committing khalwat with Muslims should also be sentenced accordingly, but in the civil courts.

“We don’t have the jurisdiction to sentence non-Muslims committing khalwat with Muslims,” he told reporters after closing the seminar on behalf of department director-general Datuk Ibrahim Lembut at Ikim here today.

“The Muslims can be sentenced in Syariah courts, and the non-Muslim partners can probably be sentenced in the civil courts, to be fair to both parties.”

He said the proposal, contained in a draft resolution at the seminar, would be forwarded to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

“It is up to the Attorney-General’s Chambers or the relevant authorities to decide how to create such a law,” he said.

However, he declined to elaborate when the proposal would be forwarded to the Government.

Another proposal is to impose heftier penalties – of up to four times the current penalties – on Muslims caught for khalwat, prostitution, consuming alcohol and involvement in gambling activities.

Mohd Asri said Ikim and the department were proposing that the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 (Amendment) 1984 be amended to impose stiffer penalties of RM1,000 fine, or five years’ jail or 12 strokes of the rotan for Syariah Lower Courts and RM20,000 fine, or 10 years’ jail or 24 strokes of rotan for Syariah High Courts.

Current limits are a maximum of three years’ jail, or RM5,000 fine, or up to six lashes or any combination of these, and different states provide different penalties for these offences.

“This has not been reviewed since 1984. It has been more than 20 years,” said Mohd Asri.

There was also a proposal for Syariah judges to enforce whipping for these offences.

Another proposal calls for the establishment of a rehabilitation centre for those convicted of offences related to morals and faith such as prostitution and effeminate men, and enforcement of Section 54 of the Syariah Criminal Offences Act (Act 559) to set up such centres.

The seminar also agreed to a suggestion that a new provision be created for apostates.

One Piece Anime Review

Recently I have been watching a very interesting anime series called One Piece.

One Piece is set during the time where pirates ruled the seas. A pirate named Gold Roger also known as the Pirate King was executed but before he died, he revealed his last words about the legendary treasure named "One Piece" which was hidden in the Grand Line. 22 years after his death, a pirate (the leading character of this anime) named Monkey D Luffy appeared and has only one goal which is to be the next Pirate King and find the treasure "One Piece". In the story, Luffy after eating the Devil's Fruit, turns into a rubber man. This ability enables any part of his body to be stretched and he uses this ability to battle against other pirates that he encounters.


The storyline is simple but engaging and be prepared to have some good laughs as you go through the series. The characters featured are also not complex with each of his companion striving to achieve their individual dreams. The fighting scene are also exciting and I really like the slapsticks that they slip in between fights.

I am on episode 67 out of the 349 episodes out right now. It has really drawn me in so far and I am looking forward to watching more of it.

A definite recommendation for anime lovers out there.

Sim Gary Cafe

After my grocery shopping at Tesco's, I went to hunt for food around "Tung Kui" Ipoh. Was suppose to just drop by one of the hawker centre since we were pretty hungry but a shop caught my eye.

At first glance I thought Kim Gary opened a new outlet here in Ipoh. But then I saw its not Kim but Sim Gary. Just out of curiosity, we decided to have our dinner there instead.

Here's the menu

Selection of food you can order. Definitely not a lot compared to Kim Gary

This restaurant is definitely not the typical hong kong style "cha chan teng" eateries that you see in KL. The range vary from your typical nissin soup noodle to even briyani rice with curry. So you see a lot of fusion food here.

The surroundings are pretty ok with a nice atmosphere to it. Furnishing is pretty new but considering for a Saturday night, its pretty empty.

Business don't look too good here

I ordered Tom Yam bihun and the others had chicken chops and lamb chops. We were all pretty hungry so when the food arrived only after 30 minutes, I was not really pleased. I didn't take any picture of the food since we were practically shoving food down our mouth the moment the dish touched the table.

Food was mediocre. Nothing to shout about.

Another restaurant that I won't be coming again.
