how the fiber looks like...

I wanted to show how the Fiber Plus that I'm consuming looks like yesterday, was having problems loading pictures up onto blogspot...


a sachet of Fiber Plus...

mix the Fiber Plus powder with room temperature water, and drink it before going to bed. it'll do the trick, and it actually taste pretty good. :)

one of the things that helped me lose 18kgs in 3 months...

I did a write up on my before and after some time ago... about my losing of 18kgs in about 3 months time...

so here's the follow-up on that...

my sister is the one who got me into consuming this new range of products distributed by this new MDM company - WBG... because she wants me to become her product testimonial... and since I was overweight back then, it was perfect...

(note: I'm just sharing the method of how I lose 18kgs in about 3 months time, and I'm in no way getting paid to promote this product range, or hard-selling it. Email me only if you're seriously interested on getting slimmed down, or interested in earning some part-time income through introducing this product range for your people that you know of that needs to shade some extra weigh off. Otherwise, just read and then forget it. =)


One of the product that I'm consuming is Fiber Plus. It is a high fibre formula that improves bowel functions, purifies the colon's internal environment and helps build a more balanced digestive system. It effectively rids your body of accumulated toxins, while boosts the body's overall vitality.

Of course, beside consuming this fiber thingy, I also control my food consumption, and take less rice, more vegetables and fruits. I also resume swimming, for like 3 times a week... so it helps alot as well. 3 months seems quite a long time, but it's all worth it as now I'm wearing clothes that I have not been wearing since university time... =)

we can really drink...

was out with the usual bunch having a yumchar session after watching the football match featuring the company's football team...

7 of us drank more than 20 glasses of assorted drinks... ranging from malta, teh-c-peng, ice lemon tea, chrysanthemum tea, green tea...


this is crazy man...

bye bye Renoma, hello Camel Active

for more than 1 year, my pair of Renoma working shoe has served me well... but after taken much abuse for yours truly, the cushion inside has worn off badly... and I myself has been suffering foot-ache since...


Christmas sales is around the corner, so I went over to LEA Centre to look for a new pair... approached the Camel section, and tried on this Camel Active... damn comfortable I tell you... so I told the salesman that I'd be wearing that shoe, and told him to pack the Renoma into the box...

thought that there's some discount, but turned out because that pair is new arrivals, no discount is offered. since I liked it so much, I didn't bother about the discount anyway, and swiped my card...





total damage: RM279.90... darn...

took off the honeycomb grill...

my MTX speakers are pumping out so much thud that the honeycomb grill on the speakers were shuddering all the time... so I got fed up with the noise, and took them off... and they apparently look a lot sexier and more appealing... heh...


don't you just love-em??

car fixed, new stuff added in...

sent my car into the workshop last Wednesday to repair those damages, and it only took the mechanic 1.5 days to fix everything. Took back the car on Thursday afternoon around 3pm, and to my surprise, the workmanship was that good till I couldn't tell the difference... happy me...

then on Saturday, went to this audio workshop and got my front Clif Design speakers changed to a 6" MTX component... and the rear Clarion speakers changed to a pair of 6" Earthquake...




this MTX Thunder series component set is FREAKING good I tell ya... totally blew me away...



this Earthquake speaker at the rear just compliments the bass and some treble for the front... good enough...

and I ALMOST made another upgrade, which was to add a 480 watt Pioneer 4 channel amp to pump the 4 new speakers... but luckily I was short of about RM200 in my wallet... so this would be my next project after getting my bonus... considering my Christmas present lah... heh...

total damage : >RM700

dumb ppl doing business...

was sitting in this kopitiam during lunch time... ordered our usual kopi-peng and waiting for my lunch date to order her chicken rice...

took out my ciggie, finished it... she's still waiting to make her order...

took out my second ciggie... finished... and she's still standing in front of the stall waiting to make her order...

what happened was there were a few people coming over, ordered takeaways, and the stall owner was serving them first, and letting her wait there and looking stupid...

couldn't stand this first-in last-out crap, so we changed place, without canceling the 2 kopi-pengs ordered previously... and I guess that's the last time we're gonna go have lunch there...

some people are just plain stupid...

kena conned...

was having lunch just now... and this colleague of mine went to buy ciggie... came back and showed us this twin pack Pall Mall, saying it's cheap cause it's only 40 sticks for RM8...

I was like true or not... and went over and grab one as well... then I realized that it's a twin pack of 14 sticks... making it 28 sticks for RM8... sien...

I normally buy Pall Mall 25 sticks for RM6.50, so it's not entirely a deal paying RM8 for 28 sticks... but we had fun poking fun of her... heh...


nice packaging though...

Assembling my BBQ Pit

got this DIY BBQ pit free gift when I purchased the Petronas Syntium engine oil last yet... but it was kept in the store room until last night...

will be holding a BBQ this weekend, so took out the box, and spent half an hour assembling it... it's like playing LEGO though... heh...


walah... my BBQ pit... not too bad considering that it's free...

not too bad for an O2 Atom...


took this photo just outside the building that I'm working in with my phone just to test it out... not too bad of a quality I should say...

car in workshop....

just sent my car to the workshop for repair this morning... and will be without it for a few days... :(

took out a few things... including my Pioneer CD player



last year around this time, I sent my car for repair and a new paint job during my parent's vacation to Shanghai. This year, same thing... my parents are now enjoying themselves on Star Cruise (Virgo), and my car is in the workshop again... what coincident huh...

so from today onwards till my car is fixed (probably this Friday or Saturday), I'll be driving my dad's trusty Nissan 130Y...

Tuesday, November 28, 2006

bought another O2 pouch...


this O2 pouch, which I bought like a month ago... got a tear at the side, which exposes the metal inside... so fearing that it would scratch my O2 Atom... I bought another one during lunch time...


this one cost more, but it has this exclusive look, and holds the phone better... heh...

a place I've been hanging out since the past months...

quality of the picture wasn't too good, but it'll do...



have been hanging out at this place since July... became such a regular that even the performers invited us to their Hari Raya Open House in October this year...

a decent place to have some beer, and maybe a few games of pool...

plans to upgrade my ICE

currently my ICE head unit is a Pioneer DEH-P4550. it has served me well for the past 3 years, and now the modifying bug within me starts inching away again...


it's getting old, and sometimes CDs get stucked when ejecting...

I thought of getting myself a double din player, as my center console can actually fit one...

but this babeh doesn't support iPod plug-in...

then I thought of getting this single din player, which apart from DVDs, reads everything, including iPod...

sweet stuff huh...

and I think... since I'm gonna spend money on the head unit, might as well go all out right?? so this Pioneer head unit came into the picture...

it's a DVD receiver, supports everything and anything... then all I need to do is buy some ciplak TFT in-dash monitor to complete the whole package to last me another 2 - 3 years...

still considering... headache...

how many credit cards do you have in your wallet?

it is so boring in the office today that I dig out the credit cards from my wallet and take pictures of them...


my first pair of credit cards... from HSBC :)


gotten this 2 Standard Chartered cards because the sales-girl was hot!!


needed this because I fly Air Asia a lot these days...

apart from these 5 cards in my wallet, I still have another pair of Southern Bank credit cards (got it because it's free for life), 3 from Maybank (Visa, Master and Amex) and 1 Visa from Citibank (got it because I was in a good mood when the sales guy approached me), all stored in my drawer...

gonna have to cancel some, else when they start charging me annual fees, it's gonna cost me a bomb!!

hamsap cat encounter...

was out having drinks with some friends last night when we saw this -


oh yea baby!!!

it was obvious that the female didn't wanna do it, but the horny male was biting her neck... and when the female finally broke free, he was like stalking her all around the place, despite being chased away a few time by us...

damn horny that cat...

congratulations to my buddy

seems like this is a good year for couples to tie the knot...

knew of their plan way earlier... so receiving the wedding invitation card today is just formality...

anyway, congratulations dude!!

having a hell lotsa thoughts when I'm listening to this song...


ๆŽๅœฃๆฐ - ๆœ€่ฟ‘
(Li Shen Jie - Zui Jin)
http://www.520music.com/MusicList/520music.com_6491.htm

have been listening to this song alot lately... when I'm working, in the car, and it's even in my Atom... liked it very much, especially the lyrics, as well as how the music flows...

despite all those, it also somewhat got me into doing alot of thinking for the past few weeks... especially as of late... about things that happened... why it happened... how would I handle it... should I just ignore it... or act blur...

swimming actually helps release some stress, and relax myself... I actually brought along my swimming gears and stuff with me to work today, but I'm abit reluctant to go this evening... something is bugging me...

lunch...

didn't feel like using any dollar notes today, so dug out some coins from my coin box this morning for my lunch money...



halfway through lunch, it rained heavily... and apparently the rain dragged until after lunch break, so we had no choice but to call our boss to let him know that we're strained at some kopitiam, and would be back late.

we ended up reaching the office 20+ minutes late. :)

the water in the swimming pool is gonna be so much refreshing and cool later... yea!!

my flight back to Kuching and ciggie review

I got to know this old man while I was at the departure hall waiting for my flight back to Kuching at LCCT last week. very friendly old man, so we chatted throughout our wait, and sat together during the flight.


while we were walking towards the immigration counter upon arrival, he walked into the duty free shop, got a bottle of Hennessy Cognac and put it on the counter. I was like WTF?? I thought domestic travelers are not allowed to buy duty free stuff??

I walked over and asked him. He told me: "aiya... can one... I do this all the time." so I told him I wanted to buy a carton of ciggie... and he just told me to go ahead take one. quickly I went over and grab a carton of Feng, put it on the counter.

now here's the trick. Feng is retailed at Rm53, so he told me to pay RM56 instead. yeap, that's it... just by paying Rm3 more, you could walk out of Kuching International Airport with one or two cartons of duty free ciggies despite you're flying domestic. Add another Rm5 to the retail price and you take out a bottle of Hennesy Cognac or any other liquor... hohohoh...

guess what I did, I told the counter girl to remember me so that I could do the same next time. She smiled back. :)


Feng... definitely good stuff...

Feng is a Japanese brand. very good stuff I tell you... that's why even at duty free, it's selling at RM53/carton compared to Dunhill/Marlboro which are only priced at RM40+/carton.

the packaging speaks for itself... very nicely done, and gives out this exclusive feel. the ciggie burns extremely well, the taste is pretty smooth, and stronger than our typical Dunhill Lights. too bad I'm left with my last pack... and I don't feel like opening it...

I'm going to KL soon... hehehehe...

Cigarette review - Time

this is a long overdue post, but what the hell...

a close friend of mine went holiday to Korea early this year, so I asked her for a favour to buy me Korean cigarettes. she said okay... me happy...

what I had in mind was at least a carton of one local Korean ciggie, or a few packs of different Korean ciggie brands...

turned out she was pondering to buy a carton or just a pack while she was in Korea, and in the end, she only bought me ONE pack... sien... (she's a non-smoker... so can't blame her... it was my mistake in the first place for not telling her exactly what I wanted...)


*I still keep the box, and the picture is taken today*

the brand is Time, with some unknown Korean words on it. The price was around RM12 (after conversion), and the pack feels more solid compared with out local ones.

finished it some time ago, but could still remember how it tasted. It was smooth, but very mild... even milder than our typical Dunhill Lights. can't complain too much though... coz it was a gift from her all the way from Korea... :)

suckers for bargains...

the 2 lady colleagues of mine, upon knowing the price of my ZeroX, bought themselves a pair each... heh...





good network marketing ehh...

Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo test drive

a couple of weeks ago, this car salesman friend of mine told me about this Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo going for sale, and the car is damn sweet and in freaking good condition, so I told him to arrange a meet-up with the owner, as well as a test drive...

saw the car, fell in love with it, test drove (actually I floored it)... damn it's good and it's fast!!! (it's like driving an EVO, just that it's a SUV, and 20bhp less) The interior is as good as brand new, and there is almost no visible/major scratches on the bodyworks. The owner is actually going back to Aussie, so he is selling off most of his stuff here... and the price that he offered was actually very very reasonable...

too bad I just invested over 10k into my own business, thus I don't have any cash for down payment and stuff... and plus I just got screwed by my friend on return cheques issue.... so applying loan is out of the question... otherwise, I'd have bought that baby... :(

details of the Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo:

year - 2004 (Brand new)
engine - 4G63, tuned by RalliArt
turbo - upgraded from TD04 - TD05
horsepower - 260bhp (typical Airtrek Turbo has only 240bhp... so yea this baby is fast!!)
wheels - 17 inch chrome rims, yokohama rubbers... still new!!

the car is currently in Kuching, so whoever interested, please feel free to drop me a message, and I could help arrange a meet-up with the owner (provided the car is still available).





Real Madrid Specs

I didn't know that there's even Real Madrid spectacles until I went shopping for sunglasses last Sunday at my regular optical shop...

bought this pair of ZeroX sunglasses at a freakin' cheap deal... and then went on looking at Real Madrid spectacles... being a sucker that I am, I ended up choosing one. After going through the eye test thingy, my friend (the shop owner) told me that my power went down from -4 to -3.5 on my left eye, and from -5 to -4.5 on my right... so it's somewhat good news...

total damage to my wallet: over three hundred bucks... :(


my new Real Madrid specs

*will take a photo of my ZeroX shades tomorrow...*
