McDonalds gives MP3 players infected with spyware as prizes

If it is not lawsuits then there is virus infected MP3 Players, the fast food giant is always in the news. It all started in August when McDonalds Japan in association with Coca Cola announced a contest, where a MP3 player was awarded upon sending the unique number on the Coke glass as a text message. In all 10,000 winners were announced and each got a Mac branded flash DAP preloaded with 10 tunes. However the MP3 players were infected with QQpass a very dangerous malware. So your PC is infected once you connect the DAP and it starts logging and transmitting username, passwords and other vital information. McDonalds Japan has apologized and set up a 24 hour helpline for those affected by the spyware loaded MP3 player. Becareful with what you hook up to ur pc!

anti-haze

haze haze haze! why are we, the citizens going thru the sufferings of the haze - itchy eyes, itchy throat, coughing, stuffed nose ... the list goes on and on. what's the point of having an anti-haze treaty (1996) if the country causing the haze and suffering isn't going to sign it or abide by it, another pointless piece of paper drawn up just to satisfy some environmentalist - who currently aren't doing much to ensure the haze stops. great work to the people of the country and leaders (so far there's been alot of talk, finger pointing and whining), 10 years since the anti-haze treaty was proposed, 10 years hasn't changed anything and somehow we are going to be a developed country by 2020 - how do u propose we change the mentality of our and neighbouring citizens in 14 years when we can't prevent haze sufferings for the past 10 years?

the banquet

i just watched the banquet - starring zhang ziyi and daniel wu :p

bill-board

floating toad

toad is playing dead

vain toad

me & hungz was walking near the water lily pond when suddenly we heard a "dum", "splash" in the pond. curious, we homed in to the little pond and found a tiny toad swimming and floating in the pond! it was having a great time, treating the pond as a swimming pool and diving and floating and showing its face for us to take photos (sorry, camera phone night mode and light not great). i think toads can sense us or hear us ... and when it plays dead in the water it sinks just like us humans!

KFC mashed potato bowl

the KFC mashed potato famous bowl of everything on the menu all thrown into 1 bowl - i wonder when KFC Malaysia is going to introduce this ... did u know the mashed potato bowl with gravy is the fattest item on the KFC menu! yummy isn't it? layers of flavor = layers of fat :p

curry bath!

fancy a curry bath? A hot springs (onsen) resort, Hakone Hotel Kowkien, is offering a bath mixture incorporating curry spices, such as red pepper and turmeric that is said to improve blood flow and produce beautiful skin. Here's some people taking a hot bath in Hakone west of Tokyo 21 July, 2006. It's good for the health and makes you look good, too!

grave buggers

crazy frog football craze

much about nothing

i was watching xmen 3 the other day and it occured to me that we (humans, people, normal beings on earth) built fences and locks to save ourselves from other humans, people, normal beings on earth ... ironic isn't it? we are afraid of our own kind ... not aliens or mutants or other creatures!

on another note, the movies these days are a bit uninspiring ... nothing to really shout about ... more or less rather dull ... and with more hikes in electricity, water and food in the country ... i don't blame piracy - it's not the poor people's fault they have to support piracy ... ask the government (how come our currency is weaker then brunei/ singapore ... we have oil, we have land) and exploiting companies who pay meager salaries. the maths don't add up ... yet we have to change OUR lifestyle ... ironic ... for a country which paints itself as developing, we take 2 steps forward and ask our people to take 3 steps back. on the front it looks nice and rosy, but using a microscope, the people's mentality is rather lacking ... wonder why?

missing macau

macau baby! just got home from my holiday with febe (miss me!) hehehe ... had a great time eating and relaxing with my wonderful tour guide, i think we ate almost every waking hour ... mcdonald's in macau was featuring a new 饭tastic burger & with a playing ticket u can win a bag of rice saying a tongue twister (febe quick do it!) this picture is the burger - its chicken squashed between 2 rice cakes with vegies & mayo ... its so filling u cant eat this for supper!

i miss going out in macau - everywhere is just 10 minutes away - lovely! casino's everywhere u turn! but we had no luck :(
i almost experienced my first typhoon but the wind changed instead i experienced my first red flag thunderstorm just when i'm about to leave! scary!
next time i go back i'll jump off the macau tower - something to look forward for my next visit :)

i don't know why its so facinating to see someone puke after drinking ... isn't it gross?

anyways, i didn't have a hangover but was kinda tired with all the puking, i think i had a bit of gastic coz of the stomach acid due to hunger!

squids "IKEA" chair

ketchup boy

met a new funny fren at bulldog friday nite ... after a few drinks, our new fren challenged us 3 gurls to down a pint of kilkenny each ... the prize: - a grown man drinking the ketchup bottle! (who wouldn't wanna see dat?)

of course, us gurls rose to the challenge - kudos gurls!

honouring his word, our new found fren downed a whole bottle of heinz ketchup bottle (which was really gross honestly) ... after gulping down 3/4 of it, he poured the rest of the ketchup on a plate and finished it with a teaspoon plus licking the plate clean ... hence, our newly crowned ketchup boy

dat's what u get for challenging gurls! :)

thanks ketchup boy for the laugh ... it was gross but it was really fun ...
i'll never look at a ketchup bottle the same again

toilet in ... toilet out?

u know how there's 2 types of toilet devices ... the sitting toilet bowl and the squatting toilet bowl rite. so in kl, most ladies have both toilet bowls for the wanting guests lah ... here's wat ppl talk about after a few drinks ...

In the ladies toilet:

A: eh u sit on the toilet bowl ah?
B: ya, if not how to pee?
A: i don't sit on it la ... i go as near as possible so can pee in the bowl
C: i also won't sit on public toilets man!
B: u mean even in office?
A: yea, office is public wat ... used by public people ...
B: then wat is not public?
A: oh if it's used by yourself, your mum, your sister ...
C: aiyah, if u wanna sit, wipe the seat first la!
A: wipe oso not clean la, i put at least 2 layers on the seat ...
B: no wonder u take so much toilet paper & so long in the toilet!

Question: when using the squatting toilet, do u face '"in" or face "out"?

A: i face out! that's the way the toilet is faced!
B: face in lah ... otherwise pee everywhere lah... can't see the hole wei ...
C: do u mean u can't piss properly even facing out or in?
B: might dirty yourself facing out isn't it?
A: hahahaha!
D: i think i face out ...
E: ... face in?

so do u face "in" or face "out"?

office blackout adventure

our whole office building had a blackout this afternoon! and it just have to happen when our dear cy and ee were stuck on level 22 - doing of all things ... binding reports ... for a meeting that starts in 5 mins! (this is very normal la)
as usual the bosses were not happy coz they were extremely late and had no reports! the man was on the phone hurrying both to get the reports downstairs as they were waiting in the car while the boss was clearly not happy in the background...(the usual things start to happen in the car now)

so cy and ee were our heroines today (they haf to earn the employee of the month award if there's such a thing)
they ran down 22 flight of stairs in their heels ... cy was already having dizzy spells and half way thru ee just took them off - heck it la she says ... once at the lobby, cy just sprinted across the road (she reckons being hit by a beemer was a good thing ... ee - "becareful cy!"), cy stuffed the reports into bosses hands and (coughing) out of breath, waved them off ... go go go (had she managed to get those words out)

then, they sat by the sidewalk trying to regain their breath ... along comes another big boss - "cy, u're so unfit la" ... "no wonder her face look like a broom" were some known comments

with no mobile, no money, no credit cards, no identity ... our heroines, cy and ee went back to the office, packed up and walked 13 floors down again (22 + 13 floors = higher than the building la) coz our trusty national electricity service provider can't fix the problem within reasonable time. (this is also very normal la)

well.. where else to go but trusty old mr. bucks office :)

GAMARJOBAT

hilarious mime comedic duo! Hiropan (Hiroshi Yoshimi) and Ketch (Keisuke Uchida) will tickle u till u drop with their "magical" mysterious metallic briefcase, shocking pink mohawks and rock-on music! kudos to the young kid from the audience who was haplessly being tricked again n again n again... so clueless! this jap duo can moonwalk, do staircase and lifts mime as perfect as ever and their version of rocky definitely beats the original (sorry rocky fans out there!) ... worth my 2 cents and 1 hr! :)

hello hello! it's been a long long month! so many things has happened ever since the last posting ...

lion dance in kuching!

chinese new year comes early in kuching!

there were 2 lions and a 9-man dragon dancing on the streets of kuching town ... imagine i'm staying on the 11th floor and its so loud! the whole dong dong chang dong dong chang was on for at least 20mins and did u know, the drum beat is different for a lion dance and a dragon dance?! oohh wahh

this whole weekend, they've even closed half the roads for the cny nite market and stage show ... they take cny celebrations really seriously here :p

gosh they've started dong dong chang again! it's like a mini concert downstairs ... i hope they don't start karaoke!

more kuching food!

i had kueh chap - its so delicious! thinly sliced smooth rice cake, lean pork meat (u can have some with fats, intestines), beancurd & egg in yummy soup ... reminds me of bak kut teh ... i'll put up a pic soon!

the weirdest thing i've had is called 'mani lui sa' or hakka lui ha ... it's a bowl of rice with 3/4 kinds of vegie and peanuts ... what's so weird about a bowl of vegie? ... the soup! it came in a separate bowl - thank goodness! its many sorts of vegie blended into this soup which is bitter and smells yucks! ... apparently all 1st timers who try dis soup will haf the same reaction as me ... cringe facial expression ... weirdest gross soup ever! but it's the healthiest bowl of rice i've had since i came to kuching hehehe

kolo mee, damai, riverside

today was raining quite a bit here... managed to catch a ride to damai beach... luckily i managed to walk on the beach n around before it rained like cats & dogs! then it was back to kuching town. do u know u can walk the whole riverbank end-to-end in 30mins! i even went to the wet market (yup it's as dirty n messy like back home!).
i tried kolo mee the other day .. its a bit like instant noodles (tho jason my kuching colleague sez if its instant noodles it's not kolo mee!) in garlic & sesame & soy sauce & some sweet red sauce (makes the whole thingy reddish!) .. .very simple food n nice .. plus i found out there's a branch in taman megah! will go home n check it out.
sarawak vegie - midin is yummy! everyone who comes here must try it!

lunch today - laksa sarawak ... yup i ate laksa ... i dun eat laksa at home but i had some today ... errmm its cooked with vermicilli n its not the sour kind of soup ... hhmm i dunno, i dun eat dat much laksa to compare but i think its ok.
tea today - pineapple cheese tart ... errmm...
diner today - "nude crab burger" at D'Alif by the waterfront ... its not too bad .. not great ... i think original crabs still the best la!
is there any other local food i haven't tried yet??

kuching ... meow meow

i'm in the land of cats ... kuching, sarawak!
just found out there's wi-fi in my hotel room ... weee ... go somerset!
also just had a taste of some local food ... tomato kuey teow (apparently only in kuching u get this not in kl). its kinda interesting ... where u get fried kuey teow (or bee hoon or mee) and there's some starchy tomato sauce poured over it ... then there's some tomato after taste to the noodles. next thing to try is kolo noodles!
