I guess after spending most of my time in Peninsular Malaysia since 2000 has taken its toll. I think I miss Peninsular Malaysia.

Time to sleep now.

picha of old

An old piece from archive in my hard disk. Not sure if I had posted this before.
It was taken with a very old Olympus 3.2 Megapixel camera.

airasia.. now can everyone fly?

AirAsia's corporate slogan's Now Everyone Can Fly.

Doubt casted on me when I stumbled upon this while surfing for cheaper air ticket in their official website.




If you can't spot the error, I'll just retype it here (without alteration).

Booking Period: 22 - 28 October 2007
Travel Period: 8 - 31 January 2007
Travel Notes: -advance booking required

Now, it doesn't make any logic when we make the booking after the travel period. It doesn't make any sense when the offer is for a past travel period. We're now in October 2007, and we're booking for travel period of January 2007? Advance booking required? How can we fly? Time machine?

Now, I'm sure it's just a typo mistake by the airline's staff. I hope they get it corrected soon. :) Since I have spotted this mistake, Mr.CEO - Mr. Tony Fernandes, can I get a bargain flight over to KL this year end? I plan to fly over to KL for 2008 countdown. :-D

Please feel free to contact me if you're generous to make the offer. Hehe.


*Updated*



And here's the link to the page. If you see the correct date being displayed, they must have already been informed on the error already.

As of now, 6:41am 23 October 2007, it's still displaying the wrong one.

Thanks SoonHui for suggestion, but I hadn't informed the press. =P Nor the Airasia board. Maybe you can do a follow up for me? =P

happy 'belated' raya

I'm late in delivering this festive greetings, been having tight schedule.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all Muslim friends.


My colleague (Yit Sing) & her husband (Rizal)


Their cute baby Hannah.

Quite a quiet Raya this time round, not much visiting. Only visited my colleague at her in-law's place. Must thank her and her husband's hospitality, and yummy food. (Sorry, no food picha taken.)

And last but not the least, congratulations to my friend, Hui, who got married on 14 October 2007!

oh proud oh angkasawan

With all the respect to Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor and Faiz Khaleed, I think they're making too much of hoo-hah on the First Malaysian into Space.

I never give that much of a thought actually. To me, this is not the first time my country tries to achieve something major. There's the tallest twin tower in the world which is of much pride I agree but there are numerous shoddy ones that never made it pass launching and wasted billions of ringgits if all of their expenses are to be added up.

Frankly speaking, I only have one question to ask, "What are we (Malaysians) trying to achieve by spending millions of Ringgit to send a Malaysian to space?"
-- SingChie, Tie (http://tsingchie.terapad.com/)

I didn't watch the live telecast on the blast-off last night, but this morning, my dad said this to me. "That Sheikh Shukor ah, he didn't do much hor? Just sit there and do nothing one."

-_-"

It's not like a breakout feat done. It's not productive, it doesn't contribute to the nations growth and development. It's just a waste of money.

C'mmon, going to space nowadays is not so much of a technological or a scientific feat, unless, of course you are there to do real stuffs.
-- Soon Hui

Rather, it's just another game the riches play when they get too bored and have nothing better to do on earth.
-- Soon Hui

In my opinion, we have wasted millions of ringgit in wrong area over the past. If we had spent the money a bit wiser, we could have turned our nation's fortune better.

However, someone thinks it's an inspiration to the future generation. It sure is an inspiration for us all -- we just need to get rich and pay for our space tourism trip!

Our government seems to be very generous paying for Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor's space tour expenses eh? How nice.

mr angkasawan of malaysia

Our proud Mr. Spaceman is probably attempting a roti-canai spin in space right now, or maybe even tarik-ing teh tarik in space.

I missed the telecast on the space launch, I didn't follow on the progress. So, how is he now?

Anyway, I just like to bring this post, from my friend Mr. Tie -- Blasting First Malaysian to Space. I just couldn't agree more on what he wrote. I thought it was a well-written piece.

Just something to share with all of you.

OMG

Highly recommended.



It's so cool to watch. Coming on to cinema this winter (November 2007).

Beowulf.

I had no suspicion after watching the trailer for the first time. I only realized that the whole movie isn't real when I watched it for second or third time. The whole movie is CGI.

Watch more from Apple Trailers.

Patrick Sweeney is still here but not blogging. I hope to relaunch in a few weeks.

weekend feature

It's another weekend -- first one in October.

Geez, talking about how time flies.

Anyway, just a quickie I got tied up with other stuff. Here are some photos of Jojo taken late last month.


*sniffing around* What's that black object?


Looking up.


Jojo.

Will update more when I'm free later, and IF I'm free. -_-

just in case...

.. that I couldn't do a proper update, it's already a year since I moved across South China Sea and back to Borneo. Can't believe it has already been a year!




more picha of Coco, cute?
