iLove iPhone

I love my iPhone.

When I came across with nice songs, I will Shazam to check the name and the singer of the song.


Check the traffic status on Penang bridge with my iPhone before going back Ipoh on Friday.


Although Penang bridge is still jammed everyday after expanding to three lanes and it doesn't make any difference to your schedule whether you check or don't check.


I read news in kopitiam or hawker center while waiting for food.


Chat on Skype and play Angry Bird while waiting in ridiculously slow government agency.


Log on to facebook, check weather, stock market & currency rate while queuing up in McD. Watch Youtube while eating alone. Listen to iPod while traveling, pretend like very busy businessman in Starbucks... and much more to do.

But the most important is...

I will not feel bored again while attending wedding dinners which I do not have a lot of mutual friends with the bride or bridegroom.

Sitting inside meeting room with whole bunch of Turkish and French talking to each other with their mother tongue during business trip, and not being able to understand a word.

And waiting for Ms. Koh outside lingerie shop and hair salon.

Er... go in or not go in ar?

Horniday

I never understood why people like to go clubbing. It is so crowded that you literally have no place to sit or stand. The music is so loud that you have to shout to your friend instead of talk. The drink you order can easily cost ten times higher than Tesco.




And yet, there are still whole lot of people queuing outside the club trying to pay and go inside!

But it was until my good bad-friend Ah Sin enlightened me to the maximum when he brought me to clubbing in Poppy (one of their usual favourite have-fun spot) during my horniday holiday visit to KL last week.

I realised why the music has to be so loud and strong. Because when you leaned near to the ear of the girls try shouting to them, you can smell their hair and guess what is the shampoo they are using. But more importantly, you can have a close-up view of their cleavage while nodding your head to talk to them.




I realised why people are trying to go in even though the place is so crowded. Because when the place was so congested, you have to hold the hands and waist of the girl, dragged them towards you and protect them when you want to look at their cleavage talk to them.

I realised why people don't sit inside there. Because you want to stand up and dance in the music, you stand up so that you can have a clear view on the people dancing on the stage. But more importantly, it's very hard to prevent up-skirt when you sit down with mini-skirt.




I also realised why ladies try not to wear so many clothes while clubbing. Because it's so damn hot and people are sweating inside there. The guys were busy rubbing their hands on the body of the girls thoroughly to help drying up their sweat.

Then I realised sometimes things are not used in the way they meant to be. You can't put your beer on the table when someone is dancing on it. You went in to the gents but suddenly doubted whether you were in the correct place because the person shouting inside there doesn't sounds like a man. You realised your wallet have to contain something start with 'c' other than your money and IC.

I realised life is good again.

Coffee like...

I enjoy drinking coffee. In fact, I'm addicted to coffee, I used to drink a cup of coffee every morning, and then occasionally another cup in the afternoon or night. Once without it, I'll feel headache, then dizzy, then dying...

Out of all the types of coffee I have tried, Old Town is still my personal favourite.

It's strong enough to clear my headache, the taste is unique, no other type of coffee can fight against it.

But sometimes when the price of Old Town 3-in-1 shoot up or no promotion. I will take Nescafe as alternative.


I might have to double the dosage as Nescafe is milder compare to Old Town.

I buy those expensive high class coffee once in a blue moon.


But I insist not to drink those cheap-ba-lak SUPER coffee, even though they are cheap. It tasted like bitter curd.


And I ban Starbucks as well. For me, coffee is coffee, why you want to put whipped cream, vanilla, chocolate powder, chocolate chips and even banana flavour to it?



This doesn't look like coffee any more.

Same goes to Coffee Bean.


But there's one brand of coffee I'm really curious about...



I wonder how it tastes like......

AirAsia Is A Cash Sucker Again

This is how AirAsia suck your cash.

First you have to book your air ticket.




Then you have to pay before you can check-in your luggage.




After that, you pay to Que-up.




When you're on-board, they "Snack Attack" you.




By selling you ridiculously expensive coffee.




Now they even want you to pay to get a seat.



So what's next?




You gotta pay before you pee...

Jeffrey Bestseller Archer

I was reading a novel by Jeffrey Archer during my holiday in Ipoh recently .

The name of the book is "A Prisoner of Birth". The story is very interesting, easy to understand and not too many fancy words that I need to check on dictionary constantly in order to understand the meaning.

Then, I found something interesting about the author...

This Jeffrey Archer is damn confident with himself. If the book cannot sell he mah sia sui like hell?

Amber Chia Nude!

I was surprised (hmm... or excited?) when I saw this on Sinchew Jit Poh website!

Amber Chia, one of the top models from Malaysia decided to pose nude for the photo shoot of calendar album named "Sealed".

Maybe Amber Chia deserved a nomination of Datukship for her sacrifice for arts.

The profit from the sales of the album will be donated for charity, and with this calendar album, Amber hopes to raise the public consciousness against breast cancer.

That reminds me the same kind of photo shoot two years ago by three celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan.




The photo shoot was presented by 吴君如，蒋勤勤，伊能静 on year 2006. The objective was the same, to raise public consciousness against cancer diseases.

But...... what is nudity going to do with cancer ar?

Will these posters remind the ladies to do their medical check-up when they see it?



Or maybe they'll feel jealous and envy when they look at the 34-26-36 body figure of these artists. Especially someone like her...




End of the day, maybe more men will look at the poster than women. Especially them...






Perhaps, the purpose of these posters is to get the guys to remind their partners for medical check-up after seeing it?

But I doubt how many of them will do that?

Instead of that, maybe they will just start googling for Amber Chia's image immediately after reading Sinchew Jit Poh...



Guys, are you doing that now?

The Stepford Wives

Do you still remember the movie "The Stepford Wives"? A movie about a group of perfect wives in Stepford, Connecticut, which turn out to be a bunch of robots.

Recently in Canada, Le Trung, a chemist graduate from York University in Canada and a computer and robotics passionate created a robotic wife named Aiko.



According to Le Trung, Aiko is able to memorize his favorite drinks, doing housework, ledger, reading out newspaper, recognizing people and etc. The incredible part is, Aiko may even perform sexual activities with some minor improvements!

The most important thing is Aiko doesn't complain, nagging & keep on asking money from you.




The total investment to build Aiko is roughly £14,000.00, which converts to about RM74,200.00.

Sounds kind of an heavy investment isn't it?

But consider if your wife is a full-time housewife, then you might need to give her some pocket money... say roughly RM1000 per month.

Thus, RM74,200 is roughly the amount you paying your wife for 6 years. Of course, you won't be giving her money for 6 years. You need to give her MORE than 6 years (literally until you or she is dead).

Of course, you still need to pay for maid, babysitter, utility bill, house loan, car loan, kids' tuition fee, university... blar blar blar...

Worse still, if you include her name together with your FD account, savings account, unit trust , house, car anything. She literally owns everything you have.

You may still feel grateful if your wife looks like Angelina Jolie,



or 林志玲.


But what if she looks like...


This!

Famous 如花 from Stephen Chow's movies.

or even this!

Fierce lady from 整蛊专家

Then, maybe the RM 74k Aiko might still worth it...

AirAsia is now a Cash Sucker

AirAsia has been a real success story in recent years by turning around the reputation of airline transportation from expensive & "rich man" kind of travel option, to easy, cheap & affordable transportation with its "Now Everyone Can Fly" spirit.

However, after few years of "semi-monopolization" in budget airline business (Not to forget FireFly). AirAsia has started to "mutate" into a bloody hell cash sucking vampire with some of its so-called "features" , "products" & "policies".

I'm sure you may have noticed that nowadays AirAsia offers "Xpress Boarding" option when you book your air ticket online.



Basically, Xpress Boarding allows you to pay a sum of RM15 - RM25 so that you can QUE-UP and get on-board to the plane earlier for better seats. Senior citizens still have the privilege to Que-up AFTER the Xpress Boarding line. However, for senior citizens whom are under the age of 65, or families with infants, you'll still need to Que-up as normal if you don't pay. Even if you have paid, you still need to line up earlier to fight for seats with those who have paid also!

Please refer to the AirAsia statement regarding Xpress Boarding in their website as below:

"Elderly Guest of 65 years old and above will be given priority to board without paying any additional charge after XPRESS BOARDING pass holders but before the general queue. Guests who wish to accompany elderly guests have to purchase XPRESS BOARDING."

Modified dialogue

So, if all passengers buy Xpress Boarding...

Modified dialogue, photo from http://www.walking-ixus.net/blog/2008/05/airasia_adventure_sorta.html

Then, Xpress Boarding doesn't really look so express anymore.

Perhaps AirAsia should put Xpress Boarding on Ebay for bid.

Then it could have earn more money.


If that is the case, why not changing the name Xpress Boarding to Xpre$$ Boarding?

Or changing the slogan "Now Everyone Can Fly" to "Now Everyone Can Que-up!"

That should sounds great.
