Here, !Doggie!Doggie!

SHOOT!
Go and Help HAITI
in her time of NEED.

In times like these, we humans rely on our dogs to assist in disasters such as Earthquakes where humans could still be alive and trapped at levels too dangerous for rescuers to detect.
The following photos shows just how our faithful canines risks their lives just to save us humans.
Just lovely, animals helping humans. Canines are sure intellegent.

But over here in Malaysia, just this week, a team of dog lovers are desperately trying to save those poor dogs many whom were shot with shotguns and were left for dead at the dog pound. There were hundreds rounded up. Picture one showed where the pellets went into the eye of the poor stray and with many other puncture bullet holes as much as 79 holes and this stray is still alive! Since brought in, this dog survives but is crying in pain. Is this how the MPK in Klang Malaysia, causes so much suffering? See another shot of this dog.
Just count the number of bullet holes.! Whadda fcuking shit head did this?

This bloke is incharge!!!!.

Louisiana Fried Chicken

POPEYE's BACK!

Way back in 1978, Popeye's first outlet in Malaysia opened in SEA Park, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

It was introduced here by my business friends. It was way before KFC became popular.
Popeye's fried chicken have always been thick and crispy. When they left our shores, I used to have it in Singapore especially at Changi's.

Last night, we had Popeye's for dinner at Klang Parade. This is their 6th. outlet after e@Curve, Wangsa Walk, Mid Valley, Sunway and TTDI.

The fried chicken comes in 'Spicy' for which I would highly recommend,
And 'Mild'.
They are all Crispy and utterly Delicious! Noted that they are less oily too!

Their version of buns are called biscuits. This, you've got to try! It is definitely better that the run of the mill 'tasteless' buns or rolls from KFC and da bull 'muffin-g from Kenny R.
Their Cajun Fries beats even Burger King's!! This is da best fries ever!
Their mashed potatoes gravy is something you would come back for!!!

They serves seafood too but no, I do not like it. Maybe you do.
But I have reservations about fried fish and shrimps.
I always have bad luck about fried fish/battered fish as it always ended up with the so called "Dory fish fillet?" ala 'ikan patin/cat fish' from the Mekong River!!

Forget about their 'coleslaw'.

Honestly, if one would like a change from that KFC, Popeye's is refreshing. After all, it is from New Orleans, Louisiana and a taste of Cajun's cooking.

There is also another great fried chicken taste. It is from Texas. Opened here in KL also in the late seventies. It was not allowed to use its original trademark name. Some un-educated ba*ta*ds thought it was fried in some 'churches'. Maybe this particular name also cannot be used especially, ....nowadays! Whadda fcuk!

Just when is "Mos Burger" opening shop here? It is very popular in Singapore,Thailand, Phillippines, HongKong.....err shucks!suxs!

Peace Be On Earth

GOD HELP US ALL

Religon is supposed to give us peace, love, hope, understanding, faith, happiness, trust, serenity, glow, confidence, assurance, truth, respect, forgiveness, joy, tolerence, positiveness.......the list goes on.
Yet, since Friday last, we see and hear so many negativity and lies, and many so called 'assurances' that the situation 'was' under control.

Just where are we heading? How do we explain to our children who are also traumatized by all these happenings? Just what do we say?
Let us all hope that the Authorities play a level field and give us back what was good for all Malaysians.

During our trip to Penang we took two photos which showed peace and tranquility.

It was taken just out of our apartment window overlooking a Buddhist temple.

Please note the hills in the background. That is where the Ayer Itam Dam is.

When we zoomed in on the upper centre, we managed to capture the newly opened "Goddess of Mercy Kuan Yin" temple located at Ayer Itam, Penang.
It was a good 12 Km away.

Peace be on Earth. Now. We need it.

Small,Medium,Large,Extra Large!

Petrol Prices by Car Size?

Just what kind of a 'cockamamie' headline is this?

Is this true? It was reported that the DTC&C Minister said this.
Another mentioned something about this new policy that would identify people who are eligible for subsidy or not. Can or not? Like how?

1) By MyKad. Yah, the neighbours can be checked but what about tourists renting cars? Expats? How to check MyKad? By Machine? By Petrol Station 'foreign' attendants? Can we allow these
blokes to check our ID? or even hold on to my MyKad?
2) By size of cars? How? You mean to tell me that a 'foreign' attendant can tell the size, brand, make, year, CC of all cars? You mean to tell me that I will have to pay what the bloke tells me? Can he also tell me I can qualify for a subsidy or not?

It also look like when buying petrol, Malaysians MUST show MyKad.
What da rubbish!

A better idea would be to pay for higher engine capacity yearly for higher c.c. rated vehicles rather than showing MyKad. This can be subjected to many abuses.

What is next?
MyKad needed to buy cooking oil?
Sugar?
Toilet rolls?
Milo?
Condoms?
For GAWD's (...can I use this word?) sake, are we running out of smart people?

Fuming Mad!

Monsters?

Whadda bloody fcuk is going on?

Anyone who has brains will tell you that a snake such as a python (or an anaconda) is not going 'anywhere' after a 'heavy' meal. So why did the villagers beat the living daylights out of this poor snake baffles me!

The Star newspapers reported.

Just because the python 'stole' a 20Kg goat? Come on Malaysians, please grow up.

Do we also need a team of Civil Defence buggers to handle this 'almost-a-natural-occurence' in a near jungle environment? Any clown can also do some maths like a dding up a150Kg. snake plus a 20 Kg. goat equals 170Kg. in total weight . Can anyone lift it up single handedly?
Bashing it up for dead does NOT make it any lighter!

Or is it because this poor fellow have been blindly accused of eating 10 other goats so he deserves to die? Just what would happen if it was a Tiger? Get killed the same way too?
Come on, living next to a jungle have its benefits and risks . Don't these clowns know that?
Really Dumb Fcuks!

Maybe, just maybe, I think that the Civil DEFENCE people suspected that da python swallowed a JET ENGINE and was trying to cross da border with! Ha!Ha! Damn stupid.

Now...about the rare Raja Brooke butterfly in another report............need I add some more? Really Dumb Asses!

Just what are the folks at Perhilitan doing? We are fast losing our jungles and its habitats.
Don't anyone up there (authorities) have brains anymore?

Then what do you think those eco-tourists come to Malaysia to see? "The infamous Eye on Malaysia"? FcukS! Any kid can tell you that buying it at RM30 MILLION and sold tickets for only RM5 MILLION is a BIG LOSS of Investment! Piiiiirah! Such high risk! So now, the 'EYE' gotta stop operating because of a law suit.

Then how about some assholes stealing 100million Ringgits worth of jet engines?
Get ,bashed, to death too?
Really dumb fcuks!

Gawd! My first FCUKS of da year!

Hello Dolly!

DIY Dolly Truck
for my camcorder.

To improve my video shooting skills, especially giving it a 'hollywood effect', buying a camera support system is way over my meagre budget. A crane/truck/dolly would cost me about
US$3,000 at least. Above all, I need a spaceship to bring it from abroad!

There is no other choice but to try to build one.

After a two-week long shopping (not easy, mind you) for some castors, bearings and pulley wheels, I finally rigged one up.

Mounting it on a polycarbonate sheet ( 24ins. x 12ins. x 10mm ) and cruise on two aluminium tracks, the video shoot was 'floating' and nice.
It was really smooth and I am now ready to push/pull a continous truck-shot of over 20 feet! Great!

Would be posting a video of this effect after I iron out some bugs with You Tube.
p.s...Dear readers, sorry for the above (strange) nouns & verbs. These are terms used by movie/video photographers.

Astro in HD

Crystal Clear

Sorry folks for not blogging.

Was enjoying Astro's new HD format.
After many years of old, bland standard resolution TV, the new Astro's HD is a dynamic change.

The old format of 4:3 (read old...just like the standard photo format too!) See below.

High Definition is already overdue-d here and we are now awaiting free-off air HD from RTM..for whom we guessed, have been 'sleeping' all the while.

Astro's Beyond HD comes with a totally new Box Top set, a large (good) remote controller which can also be used as a replacement to your LCD TV's remote, a new external Dish, a new smart card and cabling. We kept our old wiring because it was a 'concealed' system.

Just see the photos here, taken directly from our full HD TV





But do remember to buy (Astro do not sell nor supply) the important Digital Coaxial Audio Cable to be connected to your Home Theater system which would be in Dolby digital 5.1. But then, they give the important HDMI cable which provides video and audio signals only to your TV display.
Awesome.

Blogging Is Tiring!

End of this Blog?

Blogging is indeed tiring.
Many fellow bloggers (since the days of SCM..i.e the dail-up 28k internet) have given up, it is also very lonely now in the blogosphere. Many have also left for Facebook and Twitter. Perhaps life is different now.
We used to share pictures and videos easily with blogs but then, many found Facebook a better alternative. I too, have facebook but then it is a different ball game. I honestly prefer blogs.

Sadly, when one get less visitors one will get the message.

Perhaps I may just let it go.
Let me see what goes.
Or do drop me a comment.

Thanks a lot friends, thanks for dropping by.

Is Smaller Better?

NEW MALAYSIAN COCK


As if we all have nothing better to do especially on the recent spate of increasing crime rate and the floods. It was reported in a local daily that our dear Deputy Rural Development and Regional MINISTER is looking for a small cock.

He added that the Government would INTENSIFY awareness of this cock and is considering gazetting it as the Country's HERITAGE and a National ICON.

I already have posted in my previous blog about the "Real Malaysian Cock" which is much larger (about 13 inches*) should be re-considered as an icon, instead of wasting time in looking for a small (5 inches*) sized one. Size does matter. But then our Minister have other plans.

We are refering to the Bantam Chicken (Ayam Serama). These are miniature chickens which are found naturally in the wilds of South East Asia including Indonesia AND Malaysia.

Wikipedia reports.

Therefore by making it a country's Icon and Heritage as if Malaysians love small cocks, this is not entirely right because it is also found in other countries as well.

Bantam Chickens were discovered in a seaport of Bantam, Indonesia. Due to is ultra-small size, it has become a favourite pet. Honestly, it is very amusing to see such small chickens playing around.

Almost all country have their National Flower, National Bird, National Flag, National Animal... do Malaysia need a National Cock? A National ICON? If we do, just why can't we choose a size bigger? Size do matter. More Garang that is!
Just like the American Bald Eagle!

(* minus the feathers)

Way To Go!

ASTRO in HD Next Month

Astro announces their intention to launch HDTV (High Definition TV) next month.

This long overdue 'technology' was tested by terresterial TV (RTM) early last year but nothing came of it. Astro decision to start is a welcomed news.
Many have changed from the old 29" CRT (cathode ray tube TV) to LCD TV but were made to suffer poor picture quality due to changing technologies. It is hard to watch 300p to 400p video signals from a 720p LCD TV sets. Let alone on a 1080p full HD TV set.

HDTV also comes with High Definition Audio.

The Star biz news report here.

It looks like Astro is getting back a customer. Me!

Some very interesting HDTV sites:-

A Time Lapse Video Recording
of a flowering Orchid species.

We have just completed the upload to Youtube on an interval recording of Bulbophyllum medusae, a unique Malaysian orchid. It took us almost 100 hours, non-stop, with the Panasonic HDC TM300 camcorder in full HD.
