InterNasional?

Back To Da Future?

What else can we Malaysian's do?

Catching Chickens and Ducks!

So backward thinking.

Are there no other 'innovative' sports these 'officials' can think about?

Or they are not thinking at all?

Although animals have no soul, they have feelings of fright and pain too.

So do you think all this is fun and joke?

God Bless Malaysia.

We do need it.

Poor Chickens and Ducks, they have probably scared the shit out of them!

What kind of 'sudah developed' nation are we?

The others are laughing at us.

We deserved this.

Pictures by The Star and reported here.

I received a write up from SPCA today.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Now We Know Why!

While cruising along inside a Hypermart, we spotted a surprise.

Now we know why that every time when we ask an assistant for help, he/she is always clueless and/or trying to ask us to bugger off. Why?
We found out that one was very 'busy' playing games on the PC!
Poor thing, Hypermart. Paying 'buta' for the salary. The services rendered at these supermarkets 'sucks' nowadays and we can feel that there are no effort being made to train them for better efficiency.

Ever try them when asking for a different size/model? It is always "tak tahu"[dunno] or "sudah habis" [sold out]or "no stok" [awaiting stocks to fall out of the sky]
Where else can one get a cushy job, pay's ok, no need for hard work, air cond. environment, comfy,and play computer games some more!
Ha!Ha!......"Solitare"!!!!

Upside down

Reading Air (Angin)
On Your Head!

There is this world's famous petroleum brand from Malaysia doing things upside down.
At the end of the North South Expressway at exit toll towards Klang, the new petrol station made a booboo.

At the compressed air service point, the 'psi' guide was placed at a position that only when one stand on his/her head, they can get a correct reading of the tyre pressure.
No, we did not bring it up to the management of the station. Why?
Can't they see for themselves that the bloke who rivetted the panel is half cocked? Don't they see for themselves whether it is correct after they installed them?

Or is it that they do not even know how to read...............Numbers?

So typical and it is begining to show how this country is being run!
Ha!Ha!

Holy Bak Kut Teh!

BKT Monks.

We are still puzzled at this scenerio.

Klang is the capital of Bak Kut Teh.
Monks eating Bak Kut Teh.

Aren't they vegans?
It is past 2pm in the afternoon, and shouldn't they be in the temples?
Is this for real?
Come on, please do not tell me that not all of them are vegetarians.
Claypots and chinese tea some more!
Yummy! Ha!Ha!
Also.
Please don't tell me that they do not go back to the temples before 12 noon and they are also allowed to beg at pasar malams at night! Nuns(leekor) in white are also seen begging at food courts after 1pm.
Or even circulating Gambling chances via leaflets from the temples.

We don't even know what is real or fake anymore.
A leaflet/flyer received at our letterbox at home recently and many more before this.

Or, is it a Money Bags year? Prooboh!

Are times that bad?
Even spiritual times? Duh!

Want To Buy?

Ball Point Pens?

As if our dear country is running out of ball point pens.

For the last 10 months, there is this foreign-looking-lady knocking at car windows asking for cash and is now selling ball point pens. What have happened to our dear country? Why is this allowed?
Are the authorities sleeping as usual? Close one eye?

These photos were taken in December last year.

I suspect that this elderly female beggar is from a third world country. She does not look local and is begging right in front of us everyday and a highway junction is no exception. Bigger traffic jam means more customers. This is begining to look like Ethiopia!

Kesian Malaysia. Sudah jatuh standard and by the way, just look at the rubbish on the road. This is a 'toll-ed' Highway dammnit!
Want to see her? Just go to the (tolled) Lebuh Raya Selat Klang highway junction (route 20) connecting Jalan Meru (route B1) in Klang. The GPS co-ordinance is at: 3degrees 04' 21.75" N and 101degrees 26' 59.28" E

We saw her at it again yesterday at 2.55pm. Business must be that good.
What is the Immigration Department doing? Easily by now, thousands of vehicles would have seen her.
When will they act? Until she gets settled down and with a dozen of kids joining her to sell ball point pens..... izzit?

Malu Malaysia.

Money Bags?

Just What The Heck
is That?

Received a chain letter in the mail (again) today. Duh!

It is supposed to be something about receiving bags of money, if I participate.
It is a blatant hoax.

It started something like that in July (next month), there would be five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays.

The con artists at the feng shui arts says it happens once every 823 years and it is very auspicious (as if!) and one would be receiving bags of moollahs. No need to work hard !

Is that so? 111, a money bag year? A trick!

Did it happen 823 years ago? Huh?

In the year 1188? Or before that in year365AD?
Any historic record evidence?

Since feng shui is an ancient art, any old scholars want to own up? Really? Money bags and 111.
By the way, in 2012 (next year) there will be five months having five Mondays, five Tuesdays, five Wednesdays, five Thursdays, five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays (in total)!!!!
So what so special?

A truly FAT PHOOEY!
Such ding dong and con job.
Grow up lah. Go get a life!

Contaminated Food

Very Unhealthy,
TESCO

Made a press complaint on what happened at breakfast.

We bought a pack of fresh pastry puff from the Bakery Dept. at Tesco Hypermarket, Setia Alam on May 23.

The next morning, I ate the first one and felt funny. The taste was way off.
I decided to cut open the second puff and was shocked to find that it was full of mould.
Yes, the fungus type.
In our food and it is anyone's guess that it could send one running to the toilet shitting 'bricks'!!!
How can a giant Multinational Company allow such poor food safety standard to go by?

Weeks before I had a bad case of food poisoning and my doctor took it for the change in weather. I recalled eating the same bad pastry puff from the same Hypermart!!!
I failed to take this as a warning.

As a photographer, I quickly reached for my camera and shot some photos and video clips.

Thanks to technology, the macro shots came out brilliant and also to Leica optics. You should see the Full High definition Video too!!!!
Yes, although the pack was on offer, the expiry date is valid. By the looks of it, it is not even entirely safe for human consumption.
Can I sue them for any health compensation?

We shop at this TESCO every week and have encountered hygiene concerns before. We have already made many complains and have blogged about it.

I was even injured with a bleeding finger one evening while using a faulty tap at their fish counter. All these came to naught even with apologies from their many 'managers'.

I lost count.

In my previous blogs, I have made official complaints about their dirty trolleys. They have noted and promised to look into it but even after more than a year, the trolleys are still in such dirty state.

My older blogs are here:-

1) of August 16, 2009
and
2) of April 20, 2010

Are our safety Food Standards going down the drain???

Made an official complaint to the Malay Mail Hotline.
This is their report of 2nd June.

When I went to meet them to settle this matter, they offered me a voucher and a no-liability letter to settle things. Not only I found this very insulting, I totally rejected this.

Therefore, this issue is NOT settled.
I was sold contaminated food period.
And by saying it publicly that the matter have been resolved, it is a blatant lie.
This is shameful.

My family and I will NOT shop here anymore. In fact we will NOT shop at any TESCO outlet anymore.

This is very shocking as it is a Multinational Company.

Want to do a FAMINE for 30 days?

Very Poor England (pt.2)

I suspect something is dearly lost-in-translation.

On the radio almost every night for the last 3 weeks, I heard the brain-chilling phrase used again and again for the last 10 years or so.

It is the dreaded "...I support the 30 day famine...by World Vision...."
Just what is this 30 day Famine?

In the old school, famine is used to describe severe shortage of food and is a suffering period.
Also in the old days, famine happens when there are severe drought and invasion of locust causing destruction to the food production, thus nothing for humans to eat.

In modern times and with high technology, we can and have minimized famine.

Just note the suffering.
Therefore famine is NOT a nice word to use.

Then again just what the heck is this catch phrase "30 day Famine"? Can anyone plan a time for famine? The duration of a famine?
The web site for World Vision (HQ), a charitable Organisation have no details for this 30days
thinggy but the Malaysian site have lots of this poorly concocted 'famine' word.

Come on lah, just cut off this poorly directly translated word as it is getting silly & boring and out of hand. Nobody wants to support a 30-day suffering but maybe, thirty days of 'fasting' against famine perhaps.

Maybe, when World Vision Malaysia gets it corrected, I may want to donate to this charity for the first time.

Eat & Shake!

Chinese Pond Heron
Was driving home one afternoon and spotted a migrant in full breeding plumage.

Grabbed my Panasonic Lumix GH2, changed its lens to the 200mm TeleZoom, selected ETC 'on' and shot the bird. Thanks to James and Bitty of Photo Malaysia who id-ed this heron double quick as the usual color and pattern are not the same normally. Even the bill is in two colors!

Was in time for its quick meal and a 'shake' afterwards.

Enjoy the video here.

The Last Straw

Enough is Enough One of my 7-year old Koi is dead.

And this evening, another Koi was badly scratched but survived. What happened?

There is an intruder in our garden. In fact, there are seven intruders in total. They kill for fun. Not they are hungry but well fed.

Our birds are also at risk. They all roost around our garden and have made their homes here. They have done so for the last seven years. Our Sunbirds, Magpies, Peaceful Doves and Tailor Birds are wild and flies freely. Until now.

The neighbours have a combined pest of seven fat cats. Not only they used our garden as a place to poop and shit. They have now killed our Koi fish. In our garden pond. And the birds. This evening, another attempted kill. Dear readers, what shall we do? Is it a crime to rid this problem? The particular neighbours do not give a shit what their cats do. They personally 'supervised' MPK to catch and kill stray dogs recently but it is all right for their damn cats to invade our private property to shit and kill. Damn neighbours.

Dear readers just what shall we do? Is it OK to rid this problem in our own property?

Do we wait till another Koi fish to get killed? The birds? Dear readers, just what shall we do?

Ultra Macro

Coming Up Just received an adaptor to fit up my old Bellow Unit (Minolta) to my Lumix GH2. This is the Micro Four Thirds to MD lens.

Tested and shot some ultra-macro HD Videos and on Cinema 24p Mode. This is the set up.

The bellow unit have twin macro focusing feature on its slide-rail.

Is This Legal?

Satellite Dish It is sprouting all over Klang. Many homes are now fitting (legal?) satellite dishes which I was told, can receive 300plus World TV channels FREE of subsciption charges! One just got to buy a complete set which includes a 'so called decoder', a ten-foot dish including cables for about RM1,600.00. That is all. No other charges & free of monthly fees. I was also told that we do not pay any licensing fees as we would have to bear the loss should we be caught by the authorities!

Caught by the authorities? Which authority? Police? MPK? Is that fair to all ASSthrow customers who are paying at least RM1,600.00 per year for a standard package or RM3,600.00 per year with super-dupersports/movies/repeats/........etc.

Is that true? Maybe I go join my neighbour to fit one set. The same dish adjusted even higher, yesterday. What's the difference when satellites are located miles above our earth and do an extra 10 feet count?

The authorities cannot even spot a TEN FOOT dish located on top the roof of the house so FULLY EXPOSED! Maybe my neighbour is from East Malaysia (noticed his pick-up truck's registration number plate) and it is OK to use it there, but then, this is West Malaysia. Are there TWO sets of Law in this Country? It also look like it is getting Lawless! Up yours Authorities! Fook the LAW!
