So like, why?
Was at granma’s earlier tonight and there was this TV show called Gadis Kosmo! (if I caught the title correctly after those dreaded long commercial breaks) and the current scene showing at that particular time was a scene with 2 girls dressed in their kickboxing attire, sitting by the staircase waiting for their other friend. Now, one of them is Malay, the other’s Chinese and the one that came late is Malay as well. Half way thru their conversations asking why the girl was late and stuff, I suddenly noticed and realized that the Chinese girl were talking fully in English, and the other two Malay girls replied back in BM. So like, why?
To me, that’s like showing to others that Malays could ONLY understand english but can’t converse back, which is well, quite disturbing. I mean, why can’t they just have scenes that if one of them converses in english, then the other just reply back in english? It’s like;
A: Oh hey, where's C? She was supposed to be here an hour ago
B: Entah la. Dia tak cakap pulak dia ada hal lain ke ape ke
A: Have u tried calling?
B: Belum. Kejap I call dia
or something. Come on! Ok maybe you wanted to show people that Malaysians are of diverse culture and everything but you don’t have to do such scenes that could carry a different message across your audience; “Malay understands English but can’t speak any except for some words”.

Congratulations to Najib (omenix) & Eena Beena for their engagement. Glad to be there to witness it (and snapped over 300+ photos :p).
My old i686 Compaq Presario V3000 laptop’s motherboard (circa Q4 2005 model) has died on me right after my last pentest for Marine & MOA so, twas time to replace it with a better and meaner machine….
Late 2008 refurbished by Machines/Apple model of 13″ 2.0Ghz Aluminium Unibody Macbook :D
It was really an awesome deal for me since the unit they gave me has a warranty that ends on March 2010; which means, I lost about 2 months worth of warranty and got a discount of MYR700 from the retail MYR4799 price tag.
Since Snow Leopard is about to be released by end of this year, I’ll probably get an Intel SSD or WD Raptor HD to replace Apple’s stock 160GB 5400rpm harddisk for that sweeeeet performance boost. :D
Cheers :)
Why Oh You =)
You,
Made me smile
Made me happy
Made me think
How beautiful life is
by just being around you
You,
Made me ponders
Made me wonders
Non the blunder
You,
Made me feel alive
Made me think wild
Made me believe
Chances are meant to be
taken without regrets
You,
Made me fly high
Looking down patiently waiting
Knowing it is worth it.

Actual transcript of a telephone conversation between some girl telesurveyor who called up my home phone few hours ago.
Me: “Hello?”
Girl: “Hai selamat petang, saya dari bla bla bla bla di Damansara”
Me: “errr.. dari mana?”
Girl: “dari bla bla bla di Damansara”
(now, she really did spoke too damn fast for me to figure out the company name)
Me: “errr oh.. ok then?”
Girl: “maaf encik, saya nak buat survey, kejap je cik tak sampai 6 minit. ok soalan pertama saya, encik pakai cermin mata?”
(I found her way, rather rude and intruding. Not to mention, annoying and still talking as fast as speedy gonzales)
Me: “yes”
Girl: “ok umur encik berapa?”
(BINGO! I smiled when she asked me how old am I. They can’t do their survey or marketing tricks to anyone below 18 years old *grins*)
Me: “umur? oh 16 kak”
Girl: “errr 16? LAAA suara macam bapak orang. Akak ingat dah tua. Tak ada orang lain yang umur atas 18 ke dik?”
Me: *smiles* “tak ada la kak. saya sorang je kat sini. akak nak teruskan buat survey jugak ke? =p
(sarcasm.. i loike)
Girl: “eh takpe la dik kalau macam tu. bye” *she hung up as fast as she talks*
Soooo….. between having to answer stupid survey questions and being called a kid, I chose the latter one; and I continued eating Classified Chicken Pizza happily ever after~ =P
