jimat dan senang kira..... the ultimate..

tonight was a fun night... we celebrated peter's, hong mun's, adrian lau, bruno and apek's birthday...

so the usual.. makan, old school chats which we bring up all the time, what uncle lau did in dubai (chicken rice), and this time, for the first time... the 'jimat dan senang kira' topic came up...

well, naturally we were making fun of how stupid it is.. that it doesn't really jimat, but more only for senang kira... but Mr BT ( not his real name) begs to differ...

well.... mr bt was talking about how he has made use of his jimat dan senang kira concept... it's very simple... not nonsense straight to the point way to save.... it applies esp if u r pumping petrol...

so here's the deal... you pump petrol for your car and make sure that the 'cents' amount ends with 1,2, 6 and 7.... so think about it... for example.. you pump rm 50.22... you are only paying rm50.20 if you pay by cash... (only if you pay by cash)...

so this about it... you'd probably save like rm1 for every 5o times u pump pretrol... probably 10ml of petrol...

think about it... try getting free petrol.... just pump 2 cent at every petrol station for a 100 times and you probably be petrol rich...

free petrol... goood...

by the way, mr BT, this is just a joke.. and dont take it too personal.. start a blog if u can .

why females hate females....

at the title suggest, this post will be focusing on why females hate females... ONLY read on if
1: you are not a feminist, because u will refute all i have to say...
2. open minded enough to take a joke.

alright... so why does gals hate their same species so much?? first impression really matters for gals, think about it, the impression that gals get on other gals that they hardly know, always, always if not most of the time, starts at a very low level... think about it, if you are a gal, reading this blog, (hi steph) and you meet some nice gal of your friend, you'd most probably have a thought like... geee... her legs are huge... or.... why is she speaking in some weird aussie slang... or her ears are too big...

gals just have this natural instinct (in my opinion) to think like that, maybe they feel like their are in some competition or maybe they just hate each other... i FEEL that they have to make their way up....

i once had a discussion with Mr Yeo about this issue...
here's scenario 1:
ms universe walks past 2 guys....... instantly, they'd be thinkin... wow, nice person.. nice look , bla bla bla...

scenario 2:
ms universe walks past 2 gals.... ai yah.. so fake, why does she have such long lashes... her something something is either too big or small...

do u agree??? well... i'd love to hear comments from you...

i was recently surfing the web on thesun.co.uk on the sports section... reading about the wimbledon... and how sharapova lost her 2nd round to an unknown.... guess what the 'unknown' said in her press conf after the match....

'Kudryavtseva said: “It’s very pleasant to beat Maria.
Why? Well I don’t like her outfit. That was one of my motivations.
“It’s a little too much of everything. I’m not very good in fashion.

can you feeel the hate tonight??? she hates her because she dress better than her... in a tennis match...

spread love... not hate...

needless to say, we need our knees...

wednesday... lunch time......

jk: oi... makan lunch...

pk: cannot la..... in hospital....

jk: why?

pk: i injured my knee when i was walking......

jk: blurred.... walking?

pk: bye...

ok, well.. the conversation didn't end like that, it was much more....much more information gathering process in the conversation, like naturally, if your close friend has to go to a hospital and not a clinic... you'd be concern rite??? rite close friends?

anyway... peter, one of the best ever right winger who has ever played the game... football/soccer, has injured his knee... the ACL ... anterior cruciate ligament...

many many many footballers have injured this part of their knees before... ronaldo... the real ronaldo... 2 or 3 times.... alan shearer..... alex del piero... robert pires... akmal rizal... samuel etoo..

alot ... even jonathan lee...

ligaments, unlike muscles will not 'grow' back when it's torn... its made up of fibres... strong ones that hold the knee together... so you have the anterior and the paella... sorrry ... patella cruciate..

both these ligaments hold the knees together..without them... you'd probably twist you knee everytime you run, sit.. walk... do stuff... standing up from the toilet after u do a poop...

so how do u fix it?? quite simple...

1. assuming your patella (by the way, the patellas the one you hit to get the knee jerk reaction)is 2 cm wide, you'll need to slice it... take like 1cm ... half of your patella out...

2. remove the torn ACL

3. screw the top and bottom of the PCL (new ACL)to your knee..

4. remove any excessive blood...

5. repair any torn meniscus.. the 'rawan' in malay... the white bits which some ppl like when u eat KFC ... which sounds like crookk crook crook crooooook when u bite it.

6. finitto..

its a keyhole surgery, so the knee doesn't have to be opened up.. no scares... and the screws which hold the new ligaments are ones which will desolve over a period of time... so it's just one time, no opening, keyhole, expensive surgery...

how much??...

1. Anaesthetic... approximately rm 5,000

2.. surgery itself... bout rm20,000

3. the satisfaction of being able to smile and do things in funny monkey positions, .... priceless..

no price can ever substitude that huh??

and yes... you do need to go to rehab..... no... no .... no... that cost a bomb too...

so yes.. enuff said... anyone who doesnt have his number and wants to say hello and get well to him... i'd happily pass u his number so u can personally call him up..

till then...

get well peter!!... i'm sure in 6 mths u'd be able to bend it like yourself in the photo.

apple I-willprotectyouifyoupaymeRM1299

heres the deal, jen n i went to this mac store yesterday to get the macbook pro labtop battery fix rite... cool.. we got the warranty replacement which will come in 2-3weeks.. thats fine...

then the guy told us... something like this....

guy:maybe you should consider getting the Apple care protection plan for you macbook... (he goes on explaning bla bla bla.. what it covers you.. why you should n everything...)

me: (naturally, i'd be thinkin of the cost rite), so i ask how much... ...

guy:rm 1299

me: (silent...........thinking inside.. r u crazy?? rm1299)...... cool thats ok ... )

why would someone pay 1299 for a protection plan?? think about it.. labtop rm 7+++... protection plan for extra 2 yrs... rm1299... close to 20% of the value of the computer...

like come on, aren't these product suppose to last for a duration longer than 3 yrs?

would you buy a merc and pay additional 80grand for an extended warranty for 2 extra yrs? ..

i have to say apple's marketing dept are really doing a good job in marketing their products.. iphone, itunes, ipod... but certainly i-wouldntpayrm1299forapplecare.....

hence... think about it the next time u buy an apple product...

who will benefit?

with the recent price hike of petrol prices... the malaysian govt has promised to improve and increase the public transportation facilities...

'one million to benefit' thats the promise by the govt published by one of the major newspaper in malaysia... would you agree with that? to what level would you agree?

personally, i feel that rather than benefiting a million, i feel that one would benefit millions... think about it, with new govt project, comes new govt tender... new govt tender comes new un-heard of company, and we all know where this is heading to...

i really dont know how this country is gonnna achieve it's 2020 target.. maybe they'll just push it to 3030 or something to give them all more time..

public transportation in france and spain was v.good.. jen n i couldn't speak much spanish nor french but getting around town was good.. easy.. and fast...

i sincerely hope i'll get public transportation around my area soon... not that i'll use it anyway.. hehehehehe

how to save petrol?

we all know that petrol price is sky rocketing upwards and it will keep going up for the next few years...

with petrol price at rm2.80, maybe we should find some ways to help reduce our petrol consumption.

forget about converting to a LNG powered car, coz u cant find and when u r outside kl, and when u can find one.. then the que is always 1km long....

forget about buying a hybrid car... coz it cost a bomb to buy it probably due to the tax on it to protect the local car company....

and also forget about pumping petrol the way u r told to by the forwarded emails.... ie... pumping in the morning, pump slower and pumping when there is a petrol tanker re-fuellling the big tanks underground...

why the forwarded stuff dont make sense? well.. its not like they dont buy it make 'INSIGNIFICANT' difference.... think about it, how much vapour can evaporate when u r pumping?? like .001 litres?? or how much hotter do u think the ground can be in comparison to the night, which will make the petrol evaporate faster during the days????

ok ... enuff about it... so whats the best way to reduce petrol consumption??
1. tailgate...slipstream....
how it works? if u get closer to the car in front of u, then u will reduce the wind drag, thus, u will be driving much faster at a lower rpm.... :) good huh? so... start doing it... it will work much better at higher speed... like 80km/h and above..

2. dont eat when driving...
you know when u eat n drive, your concentration is goes away.. rather than thinking on driving, your mind just goes blank and goes into 'enjoying-food mode'... hence, you will be making more un-needed accelerations and braking, which ultimately waste petrol.... so dont eat...

these are just 2 ways i can think of... if u do have any methods thats proven to be good... i'd like to know more about it..!......
