Musang Performs Survival Feat

Hello... this is Musang. He is actually a cat but I personally believe that he is a fox impersonating a cat.. and he's very good. The origin of Musang remains a mystery. He is not in any way relative to any of my 10 living cats or the deceased ones. He started pretending to be a family during the middle of July 2007. He enters end exits the house quietly and swiftly, eating Friskies and Machiko without feeling a slight of guilt. He acts as he have known the other cats since birth. Cunning(deceiving) as he is, Musang is almost undetectable except for Ning and Chang.
I called him Musang because in some ways he resembles a fox (guess he didn't transform well). I myself was deceived at times, thinking that he is a part of the family. However his mischievousness is not the main topic here but an incident where he made a quite remarkable feat.

One morning about a month ago, my father as usual hopped into his car to go to work. Just as he was about to enter the federal highway, he heard thumping sounds on the roof of his car. He quickly steered to a nearby Petronas to see what made the noises. To his surprise he saw Musang who had just woken up from his sleep on the roof of the car. Shaken and shocked with an unfamiliar environment Musang ran away and disappeared into a block of shop houses nearby. This Petronas station is about 1 kilometre away from my house.

In the next morning I heard Chang screaming as he had always done to Musang (by this time Ning was already missing). It is then when I saw a familiar figure coming down from the roof of my house, walking proudly on the front porch before lying down under my mother's car. It was the mischievous, deceitful Musang!!
I don't know how he managed to find his way back as he have to go through a block of shop houses, three blocks of houses and a main road to get back here.

Which then strengthens my feeling that he is a real fox.

- Musang is celebrating Hari raya haji at my house besides keep terrorizing my other cats.

APS Family Day 2OO7

Seperti sewaktu kita sekolah rendah, nampaknya kewajipan menyertai sidang hari keluarga memang tak pernah dikecualikan sehinggalah di alam pekerjaan. Memang keluarga tu penting.
Ofis aku telah membuat Family Day pada 1 Disember lalu dan disertai ahli dari seluruh pelusuk bumi termasuk Sabah dan Indonesia selain semenanjung Malaysia.










Bermula dengan acara sukan...








Melancong-melencong..



Dan acara kemuncaknya sudah tentulah apabila Hattan muncul dari entah mana untuk menyanyikan sebuah lagu menusuk kalbu.. memang dah lain rupa Hattan, memang tak kenal tapi daripada suaranya boleh kenal... Wow!!

"Boleh saya pinjam mata awak?"

Ah.. bunyinya sungguh nakal dan adakala mencuit hati.. itulah kadang2 yang dilakukan oleh para kacang hantu dikala cuba mengorat gadis2..
Namun adalah perlu berhati2 tentang siapa yang mengucapkan kata2 tersebut.. Sebagai contoh, ayat ini pernah diucapkan oleh seorang rakanku yang lebih dikenali dengan panggilan manjanya, Ebby Yus..

mengikut sejarah pertinjuan Ebby Yus.. selalu yang terjadi adalah apabila dia menghinggapkan penumbuknya ke mata lawan, kalau tidak semuanya paling tidak akan ada secubit daripada mata lawannya melekat pada penumbuk dia tadi..
hatta frasa "pinjam mata awak"..

jadi lain kali berhati2 apabila membenarkan Ebby Yus meminjam mata..
nampak je comel tapi buas macam beruang bukit..

Kepada "Ebby Yus": Aku terpaksa menulis artikel ini untuk keselamatan sejagat..

Why are Malaysians one of the Rudests?

Once there was an international poll and Malaysia was high-ranked in the list of rudest countries. The ministers retaliated by saying that no, Malaysia is the softest spot in the Asian Pacific map.
Unfortunately, we are rude.

Just take your car out to the road and you'll see why. It is a battleground out there. No wonder the road is one of Malaysia's successful population control scheme.

Politeness are only for westerners and sometimes they had to be Caucasians.

p/s: I hate it when people have broken tail lights. But being so Malaysian, I have never bothered to check mine.

Sebab Sebenar Kesukaran Komunikasi Sel

Seperti Hari Raya yang lepas-lepas perasan atau tidak, talian talipon biasanya sesak. Nak talipon tak dapat, mesej yang sama dapat sampai 2 kali, mesej setahun lepas muncul balik (lalu mendatangkan nostalgia). Sepatutnya dengan adanya Measat 3 benda ni tak boleh terjadi. Tak boleh.

Rupa-rupanya, menurut salah seorang angkasawan Russia yang balik dengan Dr. Sheikh Muzaphar hari tu, telah berlaku satu peristiwa pada malam hari raya (di sana dikira malam saja). Waktu itu Sheikh tengah berjalan di ruangan angkasa dan ketika itu di singgah sebentar di salah satu Measat. Nak dijadikan cerita Sheikh ni tadi tersepak cable power satelit tu menyebabkan satelit tu terpadam.

Mahu atau tidak si Sheikh ni terpaksa pergi memasang balik plag satelit tadi yang soketnya terletak di bulan. Itu pasal la ada lagi 3 eksperimen tak siap masa dia balik sini.

Resizing Your Pictures Efficiently!

First of all, I don't know why I'm writing about this. This is too serious.

Ok now, for you digital camera owners out there, size does matter. Contrary to popular belief, the size of your pictures matter only for a certain extent. You don't really need picture qualities up to 7 or 12 megapixels, unless you are making a poster or you are working for National Geographic.

As far as I know most digicam consumers upload pictures into their computers and switch on the the slideshow button. And that's it. All those large megapixels are merely for blowing up your pictures to unnecessary scales. I don't think there's the necessity to look at pictures of your relatives eating kuih raya in A4 sizes. I myself sets my 7 Mpixel camera to use only 1 MPixels.

Okay let me get straight to the point. My problem came when my mother's Casio camera has a minimum setting of 2 Megapixels. It is quite space consuming. The size of one picture is more than 1 Mb. You can however resize your pictures down to 1/8th of the original without compensating the quality.

First of all, you have to download a handy tool called the image resizer, which you can obtain from Microsoft's Website or directly from this link. Install the software normally, and after the installation you will notice a new option when you right click on any picture. You will see a command to "resize pictures".


When you click the option a small window will appear asking you for the new size of your picture. Select Advanced--> Custom and it will allow you to set any size to your picture.

Now the trick is that you should set your pictures to the same size as the original. Say the width of the original picture is 1600 pixels, so insert the same number. And you only have to specify the width since the software automatically constraints the proportions of your pictures. Then press OK.


The best thing about this software is that you can apply it to multiple pictures simultaneously. Just select an eventful of pictures and right click. You should get your pictures ready in minutes. Although you reduce the picture in capacity size, the quality is not deterred, at least to the naked eye. This is a more practical way than using an image editor, for just merely to resize your pictures. Well, enjoy!

Satu Raya 13/10/2007

Hari Raya mendatang.. tapi kini sudah tidak seperti dulu.. Saiz keluarga berubah2, adakala kembang ada kala kincup (kedua2nya dari segi bilangan dan saiz badan). Jikalau masa kecil dulu bunga api dan duit raya menjadi misi, kini aku fokus kepada perkara yang lebih serius: Mengesan Salasilah Nenek Moyang. Nanti dulu...

Perayaan bermula di Petaling Jaya kemudian membawak ke Jeram Mengkuang, Bidor, Perak pada belah petangnya..

Selesai mengomel-ngomel, bergolek gelentang di rumah Opah, singgah ke romah Wan Yah di mana Opah Tak sedang bersantai. Tiga orang termasuk aku telah mendukung Opah Tak masuk dalam Unser yang kemudiannya dipandu oleh Opah Tak ke rumah adiknya Tok Chik, di Bidor juga. Eh, mungkin bukan Opah Tak yang pandu..
Bercerita-cerita di romah Tok Chik sampaila ke Megrid.. Balik romah Opah, tapi Opah Tak
tingge. Tatkala selepas makan malam, Balqis tiba dengan jerit pekiknya yang menggamatkan suasana.



Sudahnya malam raya pertama disudahi dengan bersembang diselit dengan sedikit jegle jegle...





Perkarangan Rumah Opah pada waktu malam
dengan shutter speed 10 saat

Persidangan berbuka Puasa di Seoul, Korea Selatan

Ahad 30 hb September 2007/19 Ramadhan 1428.
Persidangan brbuka puasa telah dibuat di Restoran Seoul Bulgogi dekat Hentian Putra LRT Kerinchi.


Seramai 22 orang telah melibatkan diri:
1) Adib
2) Jen Tits Sontrong
3) Kak Rock
4) Pet G-Moks
5) Ila
6) Bulu Pubis
7) Effa
8) Bai Ding Dong

20) Ain
21) Amir
22) Emontel

Suksess!!

Makanan puas hati.. Pukul 10 baru beransur..

Namun penganjuran persidangan ni sedikit sebanyak menguji diriku. Aku hampir2 memeukul Popo Slut sampai masuk longkang kerana cuba menarik diri di saat2 akhir.

Satu kepala dicas sebanyak RM42.40, walhal di websitenya yang dihiasai gadis2 Korea menyatakan harganya adalh RM33.88++.. banyak betul di plus2 nya..

Tapi trick dia kalo cukup 22 orang dapat free 2 orang.. arakian kisah aku hampir memukul Popo Slut...

Keseluruhan, 4 bintang. 1 bintang ditolak kerana tiada awek Korea.

Son of a Gun

In a traditional face to face war combat, soldiers shoot randomly at another group of army lining up in front. One bullet happens to hit a guy's ballsack (family jewels/the plums/bollocks, testicles) bringing some shock ridden micrscopic tadpoles with it. This reproductive bullet then hit a female passer-by in the womb and thus a baby is born. Hence the Son of a Gun.

Artistes and the Evolution of Naming Pattern

Have you noticed the difference between past artistes and today, besides than their artistic qualities, is in the way they are named? For instance, can you name any new artiste that has a name consisting of a letter and a name? Chances are that you won't.
Back in the 70's and 80's our entertainment world was flooded by artistes with names such as M. Nasir, A. Ali, A. Ramlee, M. Sharif and J. Mizan; just to name a few. However this naming pattern had actually started in the early 50's pioneered by none other than P.Ramlee, the legend himself. The names were not constrained to a letter and a name; some went to the extent of having two letters preceding a name, such as A.R Tompel. But I guess nothing beats the all time hero, the late M.G.R. of the southern India entertainment empire.
Many speculations were centered around these initials, and entertainment critics came out with four possibilities after his death:

a) Manivel Gova Ramachandran
b) Morris Garages Rover (M.G Rover the car)
c) Mohd. Ghani Razali
d) Mee Goreng Rasta (based on Rasta stall in TTDI Damansara)

..which then brings out the issue faced by entertainment researchers. What are the letters of these artistes names actually stand for?
The fact that this theory only applies to the Malaysian and Indian entertainment industry (besides M.G.R, there are also B. Rajnikant and A.R. Rahman), researchers are in near conclusion on the link between these two nations by this naming pattern.
Today however, artistes have opted to use their full name or more likely bogus, made-up names. Some of them are quite mouthful (Zamarulhisham, Ngasrizal Ngasri, Sophie Alang Endut). Nevertheless, I have sensed the return of letter naming pattern, but with a twist. Instead of using a single letter, it is spelled out. Yes believe it or not this was started by Que Haidar, and I suspect many will follow. Expect in the future for names such as Kay Jaafar, Bee Ar Ratnam or even Dabelyu Jamingon.

Virus terbaru dijumpai...


Semalam aku telah menemui sejenis virus baru. Virus ini menjangkiti CD-CD atau DVD yang diletak kat dalam CD wallet atas meja.
Satu-satu cara menghapuskan virus tadi ialah dengan mencuci CD -CD tadi dengan sabun secara manual. Norton, Macafee, Avast apa lancau sume memang tak boleh pakai. Virus tadi memang bahaya. Selalu virus datang sorang, worm pun datang sorang. Virus ni datang dengan satu jangkitan yang paling bahaya sekarang iaitu Bakteria yang mempunyai triple extension "/*.mspray.kench.territory". Kalau CD-CD terus masuk dalam driver gerenti driver tadi jam, jadi tak betul, silap gaya tercabut dari komputer.
Kalau cuci tak betul nanti kalau pasang kita akan perasan kekuningan pada data2 tadi... Bakteria tadi boleh mengambil alih data, ditukar-tukarnya macam takde ape2 je.... kadang2 mangsa yang kena tak lalu makan pasal tangan berbau.

Simptom CD2 anda terkena virus & bakteria tadi:
-CD kelihatan basah
-CD berbau hancing
-kalau CD yang disusun rapat rapat tu akan melekat sesama sendiri

Cara mencegah:
-Letak CD-CD anda di tempat yang sukar di akses oleh kucing jantan...

Pyow pyow hack

I've just read an article in the latest edition of the National Geographic magazine about a group of monkeys developing a new language. Scientists discovered that the new language consists only of two words: pyow and hack. Yet, rearranging these in particular patterns and repetitions could create whole new sentence. Pyow means a leopard or any of those predator types and hack means an aerial threat.
Living with these monkeys for several weeks, the scientists managed to come up with a sentence: Pyow pyow hack hack hack. Meaning, "They're coming let's get out of here". Come to think of it, this makes the language the simplest language in the world but yet the most difficult to learn.

I myself having read the article repetitively, came up with a new sentence: hack pyow pyow hack pyow. ("Mat, Jom keluar makan")

Sebenarnya aku buat blog ni nak dapat duit daripada AdBrite.. atas desakan Jen. tanpa sebarang bahan.. aku tarukkan gambar hujan dalam kemarau yang dipetik dari camera Casio Exilim menggunakan scene Backlight, shutter speed 1/2000s, focal length 15.3mm, exposure bias +0.3...

Sebenarnya gambar ni agak sampah tapi.. lantak ah..
