BY Sheikh Moinudeen Chisti Syed Abdul Kadir

Kurma is an excellent Indian Muslim dish. The diference between a
kurma and a curry is in the chilli.

A curry is reddish because it uses dried red chillies and also dried
chilli powder. A kurma does not use dried red chillies or dry chilli
powder. Instead a kurma is cooked with fresh green chillies. The taste
and the colour are therefore different. Both are excellent methods for
cooking poultry, mutton, beef, duck and even fish.

Kimma is of course the Kongres Indian Muslim Malaysia, which is the
'mamak' version of the Kongres India Malaysia or Malaysian Indian
Congress or MIC which itself is a namesake of the Congress Party of
India. The MIC was founded by Mr John Thivy of Ipoh in the 1940s as
the Malaysian chapter of Nehru's Congress Party of India.

It is really ignorant of the KIMMA members to claim that they are
Malays when their party is still named after the Congress Party of India.
This is a case of extremely serious mamak confusion.

An Indian Muslim can be anyone of Indian ancestry who is a Muslim.
Tamils, Keralas, Punjabis, Sindhis, Mahrattas, Hydrabadis etc are all
Indian Muslims. But in Malaysia a large majority of Indian Muslims are
Tamil speaking. Hence the term Indian Muslim is generally applied to
the Tamil speaking Indian Muslims. In Malaysia, Indian Muslims are also
known as mamaks, DKK (darah keturunan keling), Kelings and Jawi
Peranakan. The last one Jawi Peranakan is a strange misnomer. There is
even a recent book written about the Jawi Peranakan which actually
talks about the Indian Muslims.

In contemporary Malaysia Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al Bukhari, Zainuddin
Mydin, Siti Nurhaliza binti "Thaarudeen" , Justice Haidar Mohd Noor,
Ahmad Nawab, Akbar Nawab, P Ramlee, Man Bhai, Tan Sri Elyas Omar, Tan
Sri Ali Abul Hassan are all Indian Muslims or descended from Indian
Muslims. Malaysia's first Speaker of Parliament Tan Sri CM Yusuf was
a mamak. So was the permanent Chairman of UMNO Tan Sri Sulaiman "Ninam"
Shah. 'Ninam' is actually truncated Tamil for 'Naina Mohamed'. Former
Sabah Chief Minister Dato Harris Salleh and present Chief Minister
Musa Aman are all mamaks. They are not Pushtuns, Pakistanis or Yemenis.

Among our Prime Ministers Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is the son of an
Indian Muslim. Abdullah Badawi has mamak blood from his father's side.
Toh Puan Sharifah Radziah Syed Alwi Barakbah, the wife of our first PM
Tunku Abdul Rahman, had mamak ancestry. The Tunku himself was of mixed
Thai and mamak parentage. Ex DPM Dato Sri Anwar Ibrahim's father is a
mamak. The intellectuals Kassim Ahmad and Farish Noor have Indian
Muslim fathers while the late Tan Sri Muhammad Noordin Sopiee had a mamak
grandfather. Munir Majid is a Tamil speaking mamak and Tengku Adnan
Tengku Mansor is a mamak too.

Here it is pertinent to note the "Syed" and "Sheikh" name. Among
Indian Muslims the name Syed or Sheikh is common, its no big deal. The
names
"Shah" and "Khan" are also very common mamak names. Other 'Malay'
names like 'Chik', 'Tamby Chik' and 'Keling' are definitely of mamak
origins
too.

The name 'Shah' is not common among the Malays but strangely enough it
is very common among the Malay sultans, for example Sultan Azlan Shah
and Raja Nazrin Shah. Shah is NOT an Arabic name. It originates from
Persia and comes to Malaysia from India through the Indian Muslim
influence. This is just more indication of the mamak ancestry of our
Malay rulers.

But among kampong Malays the name Syed and Sheikh are supposed to
indicate Arab ancestry, the name Syed being associated with 'keturunan
nabi' or lineage from the Prophet. To the kampong Malays these names
are a really big deal. This is the furthest thing from the truth. Another
common mamak name is 'Maricar'. Actually it is 'Marikiyaar' . This has
evolved into 'Merican'. Hence the thousands of Malays who bear the
'Merican' name today are also of mamak ancestry. They call themselves
Jawi Peranakan. They are actually mamak.

Many smart Indian Muslims realized very early on this Malay liking for
Arabic names and Arab ancestry. So they started passing themselves
off, (or did not object if they were referred to) as Arabs, usually of
Yemeni descent. In Malaysia too many Syeds and Sheikhs from among the
Malays
today are actually recycled mamaks. One good example is Tan Sri Syed
Mokhtar Al Bukhari. Among the Malay elite Tan Sri Syed Mukhtar Bukhari
passes of as being of Yemeni descent. His family actually comes from
India. The former mayor of KL Tan Sri Elyas Omar is also of Tamil
mamak origins from Penang.

Among the Malays it is also 'ok' if a mamak is from Pakistani descent.
Perhaps Pakistan is closer to Bollywood. So some clever mamaks claim
to be from Pakistan. The former Sabah Chief Minister Harris Salleh and
present Chief Minister Musa Aman are said to be 'of Pakistan origins'
but in actual fact they are of Indian mamak ancestry, and usually
Tamil speaking.

Mamaks come in all colours and complexions from the dark skinned to
the light skinned, green eyed and brown eyed types. A visit to the Masjid
Kapitan Keling in Pitt Street in Penang or Masjid India in Kuala
Lumpur on a Friday will witness all varieties of mamak.

The Indian Muslims in Malaysia today can be classified as follows :

1. Those mamaks who have inter married with Malays for generations
and have actually become Malays. You can only know their mamak
ancestry by their mamak sounding names like Merican, Shah, Syed, Sheikh
etc, by
their 'Indian' appearances - prominent nose, rounder eyes etc.

2. Those mamaks who have not inter married with Malays but who
have assimilated closely into the Malay culture. They can only speak Malay
and have cut off almost all their links with India. These would
include thousands of mamaks in Penang, Kedah, Melaka and other parts of the

country. Only their DNA remains Indian. But practically, for all
intents and purposes they are Malay.

3. Those mamaks who are still very much Tamil and who can only
speak pasar Malay. They may not have links with India but they watch Tamil
movies and do not read the Malay papers or know much about the Malays.
Despite being born in Malaysia they still would not know a 'kuih
talam' from an 'otak-otak'. Many KIMMA members fall in this category. That
is
why they still call themselves Kongres Indian Muslim Malaysia after
the Indian Congress Party of Panditji Jawaharlal Nehru.

4. Those mamaks who are still very much Tamil and who cannot even
speak pasar Malay despite being born in Malaysia. They will not know
'nasi lemak' from a hole in the ground. They will have strong family
ties to India. They watch Tamil movies and know more about Tamil Nadu
politics than Malaysia politics. They read Tamil Nesan and Malaysian
Nanban religiously everyday to find out what is happening in Tamil
Nadu and India. Again many KIMMA members also fall into this category.

Before 1970 the last two classes of Indian Muslims above (no.3 & 4)
were usually overtly prejudiced against the Malays. Before 1970 many of
them were not even citizens of the country. Their slang term for Malays was

'valayan-katti' . This is a term invented by Tamil estate workers but
which became widely used by most Tamils including Indian Muslims to
describe Malays.

A 'valayan' means wire. 'Katti' means to tie something. So
'valayan-katti means 'a person who ties a wire'. What does this mean?
In the early days of the rubber industry, the British tried to get the
Malays to tap the rubber trees. However the native Malays had problems
tapping the rubber tree in the proper manner and ended up injuring the
tree, reducing the output of rubber. The British had better luck
getting the trees properly tapped with the Tamils from India. Malays were
then
delegated the simpler job of using wire (valayan) to tie (katti) the
little latex cups to the rubber tree. Hence the name 'valayan-katti'
.

Another Tamil term used for Malays is 'naattu kaaran' or 'naattan'
which means 'native'.

Before 1970 the type 3 and 4 mamaks above and everyone else did not
see much in the Malays. But post 1970 and the New Economic Policy the
mamaks realized that they suddenly depended on the Malay for everything,
especially the ever precious 'Entry Permit' to get Permanent Resident
status in Malaysia. Until then few mamaks got married in Malaysia.
They always went back to India to get married. After 1970 and the NEP, the
trend disappeared in a hurry. The Malays refused to give Entry Permits
for mamak brides and grooms from India. All of a sudden mamaks
realized that they were short of wives and husbands. Hence the rate of
inter
marriage between mamaks and Malays increased tremendously after 1970.
After 38 years of the NEP, the mamaks are even more assimilated now
through marriage than ever before. Today there is rarely a mamak
family which does not have a Malay son or daughter in law.

Post 1970, the mamaks realized that real political power and with it
economic largesse had shifted to the Malays. But many mamaks included
in class 1 and 2 above had no problem with this shift in power because
often they were the ones holding high office. For example the first
Speaker of Parliament CM Yusuf, a mamak, was his own power in his day.
It was only the class 3 and 4 mamaks described above who were (and
still are) slow in assimilating into becoming Malaysians. The KIMMA
represents many of these people.

Hence the present scramble among them to be recognized as bumiputras,
to get Malay classification in the Birth Certificate, BIN in the IC etc.

But it is a fact that the Indian Muslims are heavily intermarried with
Malays. This trend started over 600 years ago and continues until
today. They and their offspring have played major roles in the history of
this country. Sang Nila Utama, Parameswara, Tun Ali, Hang Kasthuri, Hang
Tuah, Mani Purindan, Tun Teja, Abdullah Munshi and ALL the Malay
Sultans are descended from Indian Muslims. The Perlis Royal family is
almost
certainly of mamak/Thai mix.

It is also true beyond any single doubt that from their earliest
history here, the mamaks have had extreme affection which the Indian
Muslims
have had for the Malays throughout history. This could be attributed
to the similarities in religion but there are also other Muslims in the
country (including from India) like Pakistanis, Punjabi Muslims,
Patans and also others like the Chinese Muslims.

Although the Indian Muslims are generally friendly with all races
there is not as much intermarriage between Indian Muslims and other Muslims

compared to the heavy intermixing and intermarriages between Indian
Muslims and the Malays.

And it is an established fact (evidenced by all the names mentioned
above) that throughout history the Indian Muslims have always stepped
forward to defend the rights of the Malays. In the process many of the
Indian Muslims have lost their identity almost completely to the
Malays. Who are the descendants of the Tamil educated Munshi Abdullah
today?
No one knows. A DNA test will reveal Indian DNA among all our Malay
rulers but which Sultan can or wants to retrace his Indian ancestry? These
are the mamaks who assimilated into the Malay community from generations
ago.

Fast forward to today : in UMNO there are thousands of mamaks
fighting for Malay rights. In PAS there are mamaks fighting for Islam (aka
Malay) rights. PAS stalwart Hanipa Mydin is a pure mamak while Deputy MB of

Kelantan Dato Husam Musa may have mamak blood. In the old Keadilan
'brother' Abdul Rahman Othman, another mamak tulen, became party
secretary general and then quit later - to join PAS. In the Civil
Service and in the Melayu korporat sector there are thousands of
mamaks helping the NEP 'social engineering' come true.

In Penang pure Malays are a rarity. As late as the 80s, they could
only be found in Sungai Ara, Balik Pulau and other places where there were
no roads. In all other places in Penang, mamak blood is almost a
certainty. Hence words like 'chacha' and 'nana' are a part of Penang Malay.
In
Kedah and Melaka the mamak 'penetration' of the Malay populace is much
more earlier than in Penang. Which means the mamaks in Kedah and
Melaka have diluted their DNA into the Malay population from much earlier
(from Portugese, Dutch and British times).

In short mamaks are a permanent feature of the Malay 'make up'. It is
the karma of the mamaks that they have become kurma in Malaysia.

Well, lately there was an immigrant, that managed to wiggle its way into our house and somehow we got attached to it. It goes by many names: Tiger, Capsule and Ketat(LOL).

After doing much research on the Internet..haha yea on the Internet..., my housemates and i came to a conclusion that it's about 3 months+ old. We are students turned cat experts.

Then recently, while having a drink at this mamak shop, we saw a larger version of our kitten, and it had similar patterns and same colour. I dont know why but somehow I thought this cat was the mother, Shakir and Bob went along with this idea of mine.

It followed us home (maybe it can smell the kitten on Shakir as he was previously cleaning up after the kitten after it did its business..hahaha). When we reached home, errrr it wasnt exactly a happy reunion, as the cat and our kitten started to hiss at each other. So yeah, this wasnt the mom. LOL!!!

Wow..I really kinda like Facebook at the moment. Only reason being is that I can finally keep in touch with my friends back in NZ.

Sigh.....New Zealand......i really wanna go back there and probably never come back. Malaysia is just....err.....i shall leave it as "messy".

I was really happy in New Zealand, even though I went there for High School, it didnt feel like high school at all, more like a vacation to me. Coming from Malaysia, NZ is like a total breath of fresh air in every way possible.

Still kinda new to Facebook, with all the extra features and applications and games and what not.

Next: Find more friends!

My German Chick, also known as my 1969 VW Beetle is sick. On the highway the engine started smoking...so i got scared and stoppped. Was stuck on the highway in the rain for 2 hours. Dad eventually came wqith I was already staring at the "Ayer Keroh 2km" sign when the car died. As you read, it is undergoing an engine transplant (too much Grey's Anatomy). Lowering it frm a 1.6L to a 1.2L but there will be some nice modifications, twin cam and electronic fuel injection....i think thats what the dude said haha...

Back at beloved house in Bkt Beruang...total freedom, no one to answer but the phone, thats even if i am awake.

While Beetle is in the workshop, I am back using old trustee VW Kombi. More comfortable, feels like a bus hehe compared to a small Beetle, but somewhat still nice to drive...

LRT...

2007-08-17T09:14:00.000+08:00

Dear blog,

The LRT is really getting to me. Every morning I wake up early not to get to work early but to get a decent summon-free parking spot and when I do, someone idiot inconsiderate driver, just has to block me in, double parking and what not. Had to wait 1hour+ for the idiot to move his car.

When he finally came, I just said out loud "Motherfu*ker" and I know he heard me cos he looked at me, I didnt even look away. Damn I am so bitchy lol....

Other than the Morning Race for Parking, the LRT ride is a very challenging experience for my Nose. I have a big Nose and it works pretty well LOL and on the LRT I bumped into people who doesn't know the existence of DEODORANT!!!! Some are just plain rude, step on your shoes, without even a sorry, one fucking aunty hustled past me, at the same time, ripping my watch strip apart (this was sometime back actually, but worth a mention).

So....I have adopted a stone cold attitude while on the LRT. Never give anyone a chance. Except for the blind, pregnant ladies and all that fit those categories. There was this uncle, sweating like a pig, just pushed right in front of me, I just "kindly" used my size lol and just pushed him back, pretending that the LRT did it heheh.

Yesterday there was this Chinese guy started coughing like mad and he didn't even cover his mouth, I just stared at him and he stared back. I just shook my head in disgust. He saw me shaking my head at him then he smiled!WTF? Funny is it and just continued with my disgusted look on his face, finally he got it.

Fucking awesome.....

The real life Doctor Who who believes he can build a time machine

2007-08-02T19:13:00.000+08:00

Taken from: Here.

Suppose it were possible to go back in time and meet the dead. To say all the things you never got a chance to tell a loved one who died before there was a chance to make your peace.

Just think if you could go back and warn someone that their lifestyle, their smoking or heavy drinking was driving them into an early grave.

You would not only be able to meet the dead - but to save them as well.

A new book tells the story of an extraordinary man whose life work is inspired by a longing to do just that.

It was the devastating sudden death of Ronald Mallett's beloved father which sparked his obsession with time-travel.

In pursuit of his seemingly impossible goal, he has overcome poverty and prejudice to become one of only a handful of top-flight black physicists in the United States.

He has enjoyed a glittering career as a professor at one of the country's leading universities - an achievement in itself.

But there has been only one motivation: to build a time machine. And, after years of painstaking research, Mallett is sure he's cracked it.

His journey began in the early 1950s, when this intelligent and inquisitive boy was ten years old.

He lived with his parents Boyd and Dorothy in a working-class Jewish area of the Bronx, in New York city. The Malletts were happy there, having escaped the terrible racism of the Deep South.

Boyd Mallett was a gadget freak, and a talented, respected electronic technician - one of his jobs was to wire up the new United Nations building being constructed in Manhattan.

His son worshipped him, and the pair would spend many hours in the evenings experimenting with capacitors and circuits, building crystal radios and other gadgets.

Then, the night after his parents' 11th wedding anniversary, Boyd died suddenly of a heart attack.

"For me, the sun rose and set on him," Ron Mallett said later. "It completely devastated me."

Boyd Mallett's death was probably preventable. He had always been a heavy smoker and workaholic and had started drinking too much.

Scroll down for more...

The Dr Who on telly: Already has a time machine

His son sank into a despair that would not lift; indeed, he became severely depressed. Ronald simply could not accept that he would never see his father again. And he began to wonder if there was a way they could be reunited.

Mallett devoured the pulp sci-fi comics of the time, and began to realise that time travel was, at least in fiction, a possibility. Then he read what is one of the finest science-fiction stories ever written, HG Wells's The Time Machine.

In the novel, the time-travelling hero explains: "Scientific people know very well that time is only a kind of space. We can move forward and backward in time, just as we can move forward and backward in space."

Mallett was dumbfounded. If he could build a time machine, he could go back and change history and prevent his father's death.

From that day, Mallet became obsessed with time travel, despite having no clear idea of how it could be accomplished.

Wells's book was, of course, entirely fictional, and yet, just a few years after it was written, a German-Jewish physicist called Albert Einstein blew the science community apart. Einstein showed that time and space were indeed different aspects of the same thing - a concept called spacetime - which is at the heart of how physicists understand the way the universe is.

Mallett became obsessed with the German scientist - who had died in 1955, the same year as his father. Most importantly, Mallett realised - as Einstein had himself - that the new way of thinking about gravity, space and time contained in the physicist's Special and General theories of relativity meant that a time machine was at least possible in theory.

Einstein's equations showed that by twisting spacetime around, it is possible in theory to make a connection from future to past. Step into this timeloop, and you could emerge years later or earlier.

This idea would form the basis of Mallett's putative time machine. But, back in 1950s New York, he was a long way from his goal. Growing up poor and black, one of four children raised by a widowed mother who made ends meet by window-cleaning, is not an ideal recipe for academic success.

Undaunted, he studied hard at school and achieved good grades, particularly in the sciences. However, a university education was out of the question - there was simply no way his family could afford to pay for it.

So Ron Mallett joined the U.S. Air Force, in the hope of being granted a military scholarship so that he could later study physics. His test grades were so good that he was fast-tracked into the USAF's electronics school.

Despite his success, the past still intruded in the most horrible ways. Mallett's first tour of duty was in Biloxi, in the Deep South. There, for the first time in his life, he encountered the soul-destroying racism that had driven his grandparents north 40 years before.

"The first thing I noticed," he writes, "were the signs, the likes of which I had never seen before. 'Whites only'. 'No Colored'."

There was talk of beatings and worse for black servicemen who strayed off base. Mallett made a vow to remain on base for the entire duration of his training, which included courses in electronics and computing. He also spent hours in the well-equipped library, devouring everything he could both by and about Einstein.

His studies paid off. After he was discharged, he won a place at Pennsylvania State University, and began a degree in physics.

Eventually, in 1973, he won his doctorate, only the 79th black American ever to do so in this subject. Part of his thesis was an investigation into the theoretical possibility of using gravity to reverse the passage of time. In 1975, he was awarded a job as a professor of physics at Connecticut University - where he has worked ever since.

He remains the only black physics professor in America.

Despite the respectability of his CV, he still felt he couldn't discuss his ideas openly. "I feared professional suicide," he says now.

But, as his work continued, the story got out. Mallett's time machine went public in 2001, when New Scientist magazine ran an article about his design, and TV appearances followed.

"Mallett isn't mad," the New Scientist article said. "None of the known laws of physics forbids time-travel.

"In theory, shunting matter back and forth through time shouldn't be that difficult."

So, how do you build a machine which will take you back into the past - or forward to the future?

In fact, there have been several plans for a time machine devised by physicists since Einstein's mind-blowing discovery that reverse timetravel should be possible.

In 1974, Frank Tipler, a physicist at Tulane University in New Orleans, calculated that by constructing a huge cylinder in space and setting it spinning, it would be possible to drag spacetime into loops, creating lots of backwards time portals into which you could leap and then emerge in the past.

But he calculated that the cylinder would have to weigh about as much as the sun, and be compressed into a tube 60 miles long and 40 miles across.

Alternatively, as physicist Kip Thorn proposed in the 1980s, you simply need to create a 'wormhole' - a tear in the fabric of spacetime, using perhaps a tame black hole or dozens of nuclear bombs.

These ideas, while scientifically correct, were hardly practical. Squashing the sun into something the size of Dorset is likely to be beyond our ken for some time, and harnessing the power of a black hole sounds even harder.

Mallett's solution is much simpler. He thinks he can reverse time by using just a circulating beam of light. Light is energy, and energy can cause spacetime to warp and bend, just like gigantic spinning cylinders, he explains.

In 2000, he published a paper showing how a circulating beam of laser light could create a vortex in spacetime. It was, he says, his eureka moment.

The details are complex, to say the least. But, in essence, Mallett believes it is possible to use a series of four circulating laser light beams swirling spacetime around like "a spoon stirring milk into coffee".

If you were to walk into this 'timetunnel' - which would resemble a large vortex of light a few feet across - you could emerge at some point in the past. He thinks he can build a prototype machine in the lab, using today's technology, with funds of just $250,000 (£120,000).

However, Prof Mallett is fussy about who gives him the money. "We want non-military sources. I don't want to get to a certain point and get 'top secret' slapped over the project and have it taken away from us."

There are several important things to realise about Mallett's time machine. For a start, it would only be possible to travel back in time to a point after the machine was first switched on.

If you turned on the machine, on January 1 say, and left it running for three months, you could enter the machine in March and only travel back as far as January 1.

So no trips back to the Middle Ages or to Ancient Rome.

This would be staggering enough. Just think: a time-traveller could go back and meet himself. Or he could send back information into the past - including the results of horse races, stock market movements.

But consider, too, all the weird paradoxes that the time machine would create. You could come face-to-face with your past self, causing untold confusion. What, for example, would happen if you killed your past self? Would both versions of 'you' die at the same time?

Mallet believes these paradoxes would not in themselves prevent the construction of such a machine. But there are plenty of sceptics.

Some physicists think that the laser upon which his machine depends would need to be impossibly large or powerful. Others point to Stephen Hawking's 'chronology protection conjecture', which says that quantum effects may conspire to prevent the possibility of a time machine.

But, while some physicists have questioned Mallett's approach, no one has yet proved with absolute certainty that the machine would not work.

Mallett is now 62 years old. He still believes he will live to see the creation of the first time machine.

Sadly, the way it works means that he will never be able to fulfil his original wish - to warn his father about his deteriorating health. "My solace is that if this works, future generations will be able to use this technology to prevent the tragedy that I went through," he says.

If he is right, the little boy from the Bronx who lost his beloved father all those years ago will end up being the most famous inventor in history.

Your Windows XP Running Slow?

2007-07-31T16:52:00.000+08:00

My laptop was running a little slow so as I was looking thru the Internet for possible solutions, this particular article helped a lot and my laptop is much faster now.

Taken from:
http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2005/12/03/10-simple-ways-to-speed-up-windows-xp/

1. Disable Indexing Services

Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don’t search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following:

Go to Start
Click Settings
Click Control Panel
Double-click Add/Remove Programs
Click the Add/Remove Window Components
Uncheck the Indexing services
Click Next

2. Optimise Display Settings

Windows XP can look sexy but displaying all the visual items can waste system resources. To optimise:

Go to Start
Click Settings
Click Control Panel
Click System
Click Advanced tab
In the Performance tab click Settings
Leave only the following ticked:

Show shadows under menus
Show shadows under mouse pointer
Show translucent selection rectangle
Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop
Use visual styles on windows and buttons

3. Speedup Folder Browsing

You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing significantly:

Open My Computer
Click on Tools menu
Click on Folder Options
Click on the View tab.
Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box
Click Apply
Click Ok
Reboot your computer

4. Disable Performance Counters

Windows XP has a performance monitor utility which monitors several areas of your PC’s performance. These utilities take up system resources so disabling is a good idea.

To disable:

download and install the Extensible Performance Counter List
Then select each counter in turn in the ‘Extensible performance counters’ window and clear the ‘performance counters enabled’ checkbox at the bottom.button below

5. Improve Memory Usage

Cacheman Improves the performance of your computer by optimizing the disk cache, memory and a number of other settings.

Once Installed:

Go to Show Wizard and select All
Run all the wizards by selecting Next or Finished until you are back to the main menu. Use the defaults unless you know exactly what you are doing
Exit and Save Cacheman
Restart Windows

6. Optimise your internet connection

There are lots of ways to do this but by far the easiest is to run TCP/IP Optimizer.

Download and install
Click the General Settings tab and select your Connection Speed (Kbps)
Click Network Adapter and choose the interface you use to connect to the Internet
Check Optimal Settings then Apply
Reboot

7. Optimise Your Pagefile

If you give your pagefile a fixed size it saves the operating system from needing to resize the page file.

Right click on My Computer and select Properties
Select the Advanced tab
Under Performance choose the Settings button
Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change
Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file.

Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.

Reboot.
When your machine has rebooted wait until you see the Optimizing System box appear. Be patient and wait for the process to complete

9. Remove the Desktop Picture

Your desktop background consumes a fair amount of memory and can slow the loading time of your system. Removing it will improve performance.

Right click on Desktop and select Properties
Select the Desktop tab
In the Background window select None
Click Ok

10. Remove Fonts for Speed

Fonts, especially TrueType fonts, use quite a bit of system resources. For optimal performance, trim your fonts down to just those that you need to use on a daily basis and fonts that applications may require.

Open Control Panel
Open Fonts folder
Move fonts you don’t need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FONTBKUP?) just in case you need or want to bring a few of them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain.

Joke of the Week

2007-07-31T12:38:00.000+08:00

Three Little Pigs

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three
Little
Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first
pig
was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She
read,
"...and so the pig went up to the man with the wheel barrow full of
straw
and said, "Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build
my
house?" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you
think
that man said?"

One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said
'Holy Sh*t! A talking pig!'"

The teacher was unable to teach for the next
10 minutes.

Harry Potter.....

2007-07-31T12:21:00.000+08:00

After 9 years of following the series, it has finally ended.

The book is awesome, just finished it the day the book got released. hehe.

I only stopped for meals/nap/bathroom matters. haha. Other than that I was locked in my room with book in hand.

Trader's had a special 50% discount on the books which is kinda awesome since original price is RM109+. So far work is great, I am beginning to detest Arab guests as they are very bossy, rude and at times, extremely impossible to work with.

Its been raining almost every morning while I am going to work which is sorta welcomed, as during the day it can get pretty hot.

Was browsing through J.K Rowling's website and read that she isnt going to stop writing, she is working on something else, two projects, one for Adults one for Children, which is also funnily enough how Harry Potter came about. Maybe she will continue with the Harry Potter series? haha

I am dreading the last two movies of the Harry Potter sequel since Order of the Phoenix was a downer. What a waste of time really, I couldnt stop yawning in the cinema. Parts when it wasn't funny people laughed, when it was funny no one did - I looked like a fool when I laughed at the little amusing bits; I dont care.

They should'nt have changed directors and also drastically change the storyline. Original story is much better as it is, why the silly changes here and there? I just have a feeling they are going to spoil the last two movies.

A String of bad luck.....

2007-07-10T12:47:00.000+08:00

...Bring it on LIFE!! Man just when I thought my bad luck streak disappeared, it sneaks up and bites me in the ass. I got another summons from stupid Majlis Bandaraya PJ....FARRRKKK another RM100, but thanks to my aunt, she says she can get it down to RM30 per summon.

What the freak sial...what a great start to the already fucked up week. Everyone keeps telling me to chill, take it easy, relax, start telling their own personal stories and what not, thinking that it would make me feel better but, I just dont give a rat's ass. Then yesterday I was with this long stay guest, Mr Habib "the Con-man" Shahid, who wanted me to update his laptop drivers, install new software, update his Office 2007 (which I dont usually bother and also I dont know how, so i just winged it) etc etc. I was attending to him and his wife for more than an hour while trying to suppress this boiling anger because my friend smsed me saying that I got another summon.

I was really faking the "helpful attitude, cheery smile" when actually deep inside I wanted to scream "FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK".

I have to see that idiot Habib later and I am so dreading this. How do you tell a guest to fuck off when you are supposed to attend to him....? any ideas anyone?

MMU NOW OFFICIALLY FUCKING SUCKS.

I just got an email from the Dean of FIST saying that my case for appeal marks for my Final Year Project, which I unfairly got a C when another USELESS INTERNATIONAL GROUP MATE didn't do MUCH got a B. How is this fair ? Just because he pays more than us locals, he gets "special" treatment.

FUCK MMU and this is my blog and I can write whatever I feel like writing. I don't know what to tell my parents because I know I am going to get a screwing of my life. So now its a blanket hatred I am having towards Arabs in general, oh yeah my group mate is an Arab, biggest fucking mistake of my life!!!! except for a few, i mean very little that made the cut.

Call me a racist, bigot, whatever, i just don't care anymore. This is who I am, you don't like me? Fuck off.

What a Woman Really Wants

2007-07-02T13:33:00.001+08:00

-------------------------
What a Woman Really Wants
-------------------------

King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring
kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's
youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he
could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to
figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer; he
would be put to death.

The question? . . . What do women really want? Such a question would
perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed
an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted
the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess,
the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with every
one, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would
have the answer.

But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the
kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk
to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to
agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the
Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only
one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never
encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible
burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He
said nothing was too big of a sacrifice, compared to Arthur's life and
the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's
question thus:

What a woman really wants, she answered . . . is to be in charge of her
own life.

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a
great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.

And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and
Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a
horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him.
The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The
astounded Lancelot asked what had happened

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she
appeared as a witch, she would henceforth be her horrible, deformed self
only half-the-time and the beautiful maiden the other half.

Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day . . . or night?

Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to
show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle,
an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day,
but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate
moments?

What would YOU do?

What Lancelot chose is below. BUT . . . make YOUR choice before you
scroll down below. OKAY?

Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the
time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her
own life.

Now . . . what is the moral to this story?

The moral is . . .

If you don't let a woman have her own way . . .

Things are going to get ugly!

LRT Stories

2007-06-27T10:09:00.000+08:00

haha nearly a month I have been taking the LRT to work and by far yesterday was the funniest and the most unpleasant.

At KLCC, after work, LRT was packed like sardines, then there was this Indian guy and boy did he smell bad!! Really teruk, I was TEARING up cos the smell radiating from him was just fantastically STRONG. Then at the next stop, I managed to move away from him but the ladies around him didnt get to and they were pinching their noses cos they cannot tahan his smell hahahahaha. When he looked around they put their hands down, when he wasnt looking the nose pinching began again la. So i think it was at Abdullah Hukum station he got off, the ladies began frantically fanning the area with whatever paper they have HAHAHAHAHAH i couldnt stop laughing cos it was soo funny...the ladies just gave me a look hehe i guess they were friends la....

Starting a new chapter.....

2007-06-15T13:08:00.000+08:00

First blog post since err....dunno la, all i know it was quite sometime ago lolz. Now doing my training at Trader's Hotel KLCC and the place is like a spaceship; big, luxurious, trendy, modern and niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

My training:

My supervisor is a cool guy, easy going and very informative.
Never seems irritated when i ask him questions lol....and i ask a lot of questions hehe.
This hotel has a lot of servers.
I am slowly learning about how to manage them. Very tricky. But lots of fun too.

Pictures:

Coming soon, a small cubicle where i sit and use the computer, more like surf net (things i am not supposed to la :p heh heh)

I have sorta gotten used to the routine of waking up every morning at 6.45am, take a shower+get dressed+breakfast=7.25am. Then get on the LRT to KLCC. Simple. then Breakfast 2 at the staff cafeteria LOL. Meals are free here, dinner/lunch/tea/breakfast/supper.

I work saturdays.......................half day.................... :( huhuhuhuhuhhuhu

Last Sunday I just automatically woke up at 7am, turned on TV and spent the rest of my day watching TV, with breaks for meals and showers and surf net. Other than that, I was watching TV :)

My aunty, Khala Nipah asked me "Why don't you read a book?"
My reply "Books require reading, TV is more entertaining :P"
I spent my Sunday watching shows after shows from 8am till abt 11pm. :)

I still have to do my weekly reports. Very lazy to do. Don't know where to start. Working here is always fun, my aunty juliana forever keeps me on my toes, constantly aware of where I should be, what I should be doing, who I should see, what to wear, what not to wear...etc...its like having a very cool, fun secretary :p

Walking. This is what 15% of the time I am in KL doing, WALKING and I am starting to think that I need more comfortable shoes because my feet are screaming. In Melaka, I rarely do any walking, RARELY, only to my car to the classroom and back. HAHA. Now: LRT station - Trader's Hotel KLCC - Convention Center but thank God its an air conditioned walkway. :p

2007-04-24T02:05:00.000+08:00

From Yahoo!
bob forwarded this link to me and it was just too delicious to pass up

VIENNA (AFP) - What may be the world's most celebrated chocolate cake, Vienna's Sacher-Torte, is feting 175 years since its creator produced a recipe that still remains as closely guarded as a state secret. Aside from me, only my pastry chef and his assistant know the recipe, which is kept in a safe," said Elisabeth Gurtler, the dynamic 57-year-old businesswoman who took over the reins of the Hotel Sacher group in 1990, following the death of her husband. "All that I can say is that we use butter, sugar, eggs, flour, chocolate and jam," she said coyly, adding that ingredients are "all natural" and all from Austria -- except for the chocolate that comes from Belgium and Germany.

The story started in 1832 when the Austrian chancellor at the time, Count Klemens Wenzel von Metternich, asked for a new desert that would impress his guests. His requirement: "donÂ´t make me look a fool tonight!"

When the master chef took ill, a 16-year-old apprentice, Franz Sacher, was entrusted with the task. "He came up with a recipe that would make his job easier," said Gurtler.

The demands of Metternich's daily banquets meant that large quantities of desserts had to be prepared in advance - in the days when there were no refrigerators and no preservatives.

"Even then, we could make Sacher-Torte that would keep for at least a fortnight," said Gurtler.

The dessert consists of two layers of dense chocolate cake with a fine spreading of apricot jam in between. Rich, dark chocolate icing coats the top and sides.

From the few details offered by pastry chef Alfred Buxbaum, it seems the icing makes all the difference. "I use three types of chocolate and we work with about 2,000 litres (quarts) of liquid chocolate on hand at all times," he said, adding he'll be slapped with a "six-figure fine if I say more."

Buxbaum and his partner are the only ones who know the exact proportions for the icing.

Thanks to the success of Franz' creation, his son Eduard opened the Hotel Sacher behind the Viennese opera house in 1876 - not only a showcase for the city's best-known culinary speciality but a landmark in its own right whose notable guests once included John Lennon and Yoko Ono who gave one of their "bed-in" press conferences here on their 1969 peace tour.

Today the Sacher group owns four five-star hotels and produces 360,000 cakes a year, though only the 13 pastry chefs in Vienna are allowed to whip up the "Original Sacher-Torte," now a registered trademark.

Despite others' attempts to tap into the cake's fame, the Sacher group, which was bought by the Gurtler family in 1934, "has won every single copyright infringement case ever brought to trial," 40 to date, according to Gurtler.

The latest incident occurred this month when Irene Sacher, the great-great-granddaughter of Franz Sacher, published what she asserted to be the original recipe in the Austrian newspaper, Kurier.

Gurtler remains unperturbed. "There is only one original Sacher-Torte," she said. "In fact, this is going to be our new advertising slogan."

"No one ever knew the recipe for Coca-Cola and for us it is the same thing."

She also refuses to disclose the company's turnover, saying only one-third of annual production is sold abroad with 40 percent going to neighboring Germany, a hefty 18 percent to the United States and four percent as far away as Japan. Britain also imports seven percent and France five.

In 1998, the Sacher-Torte even made it into the Guinness World Records when Hotel Sacher produced a cake measuring 2.5 metres (just over eight feet) in diameter.

WHAT IF a caller had called MMU for directions..

2007-04-09T22:48:00.000+08:00

I suggest that rather than close off the entrance to EP, just add the divider, in that case, cars lining up behind wouldn't cut queues by trying to sneak in from behind, well, come to think of it, that would just make the waiting process longer.

SOMEHOW i think it is MMU's responsibility into ensuring that the UNIVERSITY has a proper ENTRANCE rather than a confusing labyrinth of confusing lanes and turns.

Imagine this:

Caller: Hello, I was wondering how to get to MMU?
MMU Official: Hello, okay sure. Follow this very simple steps. As you reach Melaka and pass Jaya Jusco, follow the signboard and take a right turn at the traffic lights. Then go straight ahead into Bkt Beruang, then now here is where you must give me your utmost and undivided attention. After the traffic lights opposite Petronas, go in front a little, till you see Emerald Park, the hostels, THEN you keep on going straight. You should be able to see MMU from here. THEN you go straight for about 200meters or so, till you see a very very small turning to the right, opposite some restaurants going towards MMU. Take the turn in. OK here is the twist in your panties part, you cannot enter the gate which you so logically assume is one of the entrances of MMU, but no, only after 5pm, you can enter. Instead you have to go just a little bit more heading towards Emerald Park, then you see MMU's OTHER entrance. NOW this is the entrance. Got it?
Caller: errr......*in the background*sayang dont lar, getting directions here...* err can you please repeat that please?

and yes......i am bored.

IF, God help me if this happens, we cross path ANYWHERE & ANYTIME, you'd do yourself a favor by IGNORING ME, because if you don't, I wouldn't hesitate to put you in your place. Every little COMMENT that was made on the Yahoo Groups, is being REPEATED with every single message. Only retards repeat.........and morons.....and dumbasses....and fuckwits.

Summary of the past 1 month and 8 days.

2007-03-02T11:09:00.000+08:00

Me is getting fat - comments from Friends while on CNY visit has sparked a new health and fitness plan. When does it start? I don't know.
My Beetle needs rewiring, brake lights not working again.
Drove up to KL with Merp Premo at 4am. Highway all the way. Reached KL 6.45am. Not bad for a 40year old car :)
My CNY was spent, watching Ghost Rider, Iron Lady Chef (Don't ask why), Protege. Went Karaoke-ing at Sg Wang, most of the time out of tune anyway. Dota: total of 12 hours+/- of Dota pleasure at CC with friends.
Washed my darling Beetle and waxed it summore before going up to KL, only to find out the next day, where I parked at a friends house, freaking birds crapped all over it. The rain(something MELAKA is desperately lacking) later paid a visit and washed the bird crap away.
When reached KL, found out my sense of direction is somewhat "tak boleh guna". Need a HELL OF A LOT OF PRACTISE :p
Several weeks ago, we all had an outing to town to eat or something la can't remember. THEN Bob and Desmond enthusiastically suggested that we shall "woo" some bapuks, and we decided that we really didnt have anything else to do, so off we went. BUT MUCH to Prems, NIcks and my dismay, when we reached, Desmond and Bob chickened out:

D: wheeeeyyy what you doing lar, dont want lar, eh dont want la dont want
B: eh guys, no need lar, dont want can or not?

By this time i was already HIGH (note: Burn's gets high when sleepy. Symptoms: uncontrollable laughter, laugh at things that are definitely not funny and tends to mouth off whatever is on his mind). I told them to move it, I'll talk to the bapoks and it went something like this:

Burn: "Kak!! Kawan saya ni(pointing to GIRI), belum kene tebuk dengan belum pernah tebuk. Hari ni hari jadi dia, ader DISCOUNT TAK??"
Bapok1:"Ohhh bollleehhhhh yang maner satu ek?? Saya RM30"
Bapok2: "Saya RM90! Umur die braper?
Burn: "Die 21 dah!"
Bapok1: "ooh sorry la ye, saye hanya service 19tahun dan 20tahun sahaja"
Burn: "Amenede nyer double standard nih? yang ko tu mude sangat la ni ek"

By that time, Prem already drove off, fearing a car bashing by the bapok clan, clanswoman, clansmen, clanspimp, clansbapoks etc. I think Giri, Bob and Desmond werent really thrilled by my outburst at the bapoks on their behalf.
FYP is driving my up the wall, and so is my supervisor.
Pretty sad when I passed by SPARC's bazaar and the so called vendors. Only delifrance and UPG reps were there vending stuff......sigh.....

Will add more when my memory serves me well, at the moment feeling kinda sleepy.......

A few months ago... actually I think about a semester and a half ago, shakir forwarded this "best job in the universe" link...turned up to be a survey for condom testers for durex. I filled it out...i was like, what the hell lets see if this actually is worth while... and....like 5 months later... LOOONG after forgetting about this, i get a POS malaysia card in my postbox... so I go over to burn cause I was expecting some protien supplements I had ordered last month... so he drove me to the Ayer Keroh Post office. This Chinese uncle takes a look at the pink card, then looks at my face...then in like 30 seconds comes back with this envelope..I thought I got screwed over by ordering protien online...Instead, my durex buddies sent over free condoms!!

Who's laughing now? =) I already got a job. Take THAT Engineering Degree.

AVG Antivirus VS PC Tools Antivirus

2007-01-18T08:19:00.000+08:00

...............and PC Tools Antivirus WON. Hands down.

The problem I had with AVG is that every single folder I would access, it would detect whatever that was in that folder as a Torjan/Virus and will prompt me to Heal/Quarantine/Ignore. Whenever I click Heal, another alert would pop-up saying that another file is infected. Even though I healed the files repeatedly, it will STILL alert me saying that it is a threat and will lead to the file being corrupt and wont allow the program associated with the file to run.

Surfing forums and antivirus websites, finally it came down to PC Tools Antivirus, and it worked real well. Detected the same virus/trojan AVG did, but it got rid of it. Pretty simple and also it monitors any files being changed illegally by any program/software/tool/etc.

I was using Bob's computer and it had the SAME TROJAN....what the hell? it spread through our network? So i did the same for him and got rid of the trojan. At times I wonder, these idiots who have too much free time creating trojans should really be concentrating on something else!

holiday it seems.....

2007-01-17T04:38:00.000+08:00

Things I learn during the holiday.

Try to sleep..........just try...........

Current Reading:

"The Story of my experiments with truth" by M.K.Ghandi

Not my usual read but it was a gift from my father with a message written:

"Dear Bakar,

Now that your days at MMU is nearing its end, I hope in this book you will find some wisdom which I have failed to impart to you. Your loving father.

M.Dawood
7/1/07"

There's a silver lining somewhere...apparently...

Finished my Testing Plan for my final year project, which is a seriously daunting task.

Christmas......

2006-12-29T01:02:00.000+08:00

Even though I dont celebrate Christmas, it didnt stop me from celebrating it with my housemates+friendsofshakir(carlos, dilip n sibuan)+neighbour=OJ.

First and foremost I would like to rip into Friends Cafe, Melaka Baru. Talk about the biggest rip off of the year. Ok here goes.

I had :

1. Fruit Fusion Tea = Layman's Terms = Teh O Panas = RM 5.25
2. Fried Spaghetti = Layman's Terms = Maggi Goreng tak special = RM 9.50
3. Total Ripped Off = RM 14.75
4. Vowed not to ever step in Friends ever in my entire lifetime = PRICELESS

Have a Merry Christmas to me!

Not to mention other people got ripped off even worse for e.g. Bob.

His measly serving of Meatballs which resembled Goat Droppings in terms of size and color was RM11.50 that he will never see again.

We were so upset, that we decided to go to Rock N Roll Grill Bar. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Now this is where the REAL FOOD came in!!! I had a magnificent NZ Beef Burger+Fries and Salad+Extra CHEESE and a CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE.....*drools* Pictures will come later...just needed to bitch about something.

Oh yeah and Dilip "goreng" with the in-house band. :) that was awesome...heh

Flash Flood....

2006-12-23T17:11:00.000+08:00

I was so happy that it was raining for 2 days straight, because it was pretty hot the few days before that, but little did i know that I happiness brought despair to other people. The flash floods were terrible, especially Peringgit, Malim and Tmn Merdeka. The authorities were no where to be seen to direct those who need another route to get to where they want to go. Thank god that our Toyota Unser managed to get through, most of the other cars couldn't make it. There was a time where the Unser nearly stalled though, but thank god it didn't. Though my VW got its fair share of water, going through Tmn Melawis, to get to my FYP partner's house was a fair "swim". My baby got really dirty. Didn't have the chance to wash it till this morning. It is clean now :)

I was up and about within minutes. Kaze was over also and he was like "hrmmm must remember this next time I have a fever"

2006-11-15T19:06:00.000+08:00

...without Internet, call me sad if you like, I don't give a rats ass. It has been 13 days our Internet Connection hasnt been working....and counting. Our phone line got disconnected, hence no Internet Connection. Need to transfer StreamyX to our new line....sigh...

but without Internet connection, apparently to Shakir and Bob and Desmond, I have turned into a traitor by packing up my laptop and shipping off to OJ's place to use his internet connection. Nothing is stopping them from packing up their desktop computers and hauling it 7 houses down the road to use his connection?

Now we finally see the use of all those burnt out TV Series that people use to burn. When the Internet Connection is not working, watch those Tv Series. :)

It is 3.27am, I have a dentists appointment at 8.30am and I am still not asleep. Watching the french movie "Amelie". Its about a pretty lady who lives the simplest of lives but enjoys the simplest things that life gives us. Really makes us appreciate what we usually take for granted. A "feel good" movie, you can't help but smile while watching it. It is 3.30am...still no Internet Connection.

NB: I am typing this at home, after this, later on today I am going to OJ's house, log into Blogspot and post this as my blog entry. :)

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"

Burger Addiction

2006-10-08T01:01:00.000+08:00

mmmmmm yummmyy burger, egg, mayo, tomato sause, lettuce, cheese, beef/chic patty, toasted buns.....

Lately even before the fasting month started, been having this burger craving, everyday is a burger day.

It starts like this "Eh I want Burger..."

Then the choice of either:

Grilled Burger - Less Oily, tastes GUUUUDDD, BUT no Egg.
OBR Burger aka B****a Burger (you want to know what the * stands for IM me :p) - Normal oily-ness, tastes guuuudd, has egg - cooked with special worchester sauce with pepper...oooohhhh....

But it finishes sooo fast..the other type of burger that we used to eat is RnB Burger at University Apartments....mmmmm but no more deee....it was a "branch" from the Jiki dude, who over plates the burger with baked beans lar, artwork with tomato/chilli sauce and cucumber...I just want a PLAIN BURGER. So one day, i ordered a PLAIN burger from the guy, "Burger Daging BIASA satu" (emphasised on the BIASA....hoping taht it would come in a normal sandwich form.....) but NO...he HAD to lar make it look as if it came out from the Ritz of London, Oxford, with the decorations and all...so off putting....

and now comes around to Chilli's Burgers...oh my god..no words can describe how deliciousoyummyiouso their burgers are.....haih...come to Melaka Chilli's ... come to Melaka...

2006-09-25T20:28:00.000+08:00

The fact that a stranger invaded your personal space without your knowledge is already quite daunting. What happened was I was sleeping, as usual :) around about 6pm when I woke up looking for my phone, i realised that I cant find it.

Woke up shakir, used his phone to call my phone, it rang twice then engaged.....hrmmmmm...something not right here. Tried again. Engaged. Shakir said check ur wallet for money missing, well what do you know, RM400 MISSING. Oh shit. SPARC's money missing, that was supposed to go to the winners of the dance category of the concert. oh mannnnn. My phone was an O2 Xphone 2.

Made a police report. Assigned an Inspector to come to our house. Just as luck had it, earlier shakir sms'd my phone: "Give back phone, will give u money". Suprisingly enough, the guy CALLED and said his younger brother bought it from school for RM350. YEAH talk abt BULLSHIT. He says he will give back my phone, if I pay him back his RM350. You gotta be kidding me rite?? Pay YOU to get MY PHONE BACK? Police said meet up with him, then they will suprise the guy and interrogate him. The guy didnt turn up. My darling phone is gone forever.........oh yeah SPARC's money too, which I have to pay back. :~(

I have been doing a whole lotta sleepin lately, ever since bar list came out :p muhahah so here are some interesting facts about the all time favorite hobby!

The average person eats eight spiders in their sleep in their whole entire lifetime! - sure or not?
Every year, you eat approximately 4 bugs in your sleep. - i hope not cockroaches!!
The average person falls asleep in seven minutes. - hrmmmm this can get interesting.....
In Alaska, it is legal to shoot bears. Waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photo is a crime? - a duuuuuuuhhh! If you wake a sleeping bear, I dont think you'll be taking any pictures!
Albatrosses can sleep while they are flighing? - apparently humans can't sleep while driving, supposedly we may end up in a ditch or longkang or something....
A grizzly bear give birth while in their winter sleep? - oh DAMMMNNN! Imagine waking up to: "Mommy, I need to go peee..." "What the....where did....who...?"
Dolphins sleep with one eye open? - grandma used to do this i guess, prevented me from stealing her cookies
Lions sleeps about 19 - 20 hours a Day? - me must be a lion!! muahaha no la kidding, the most I have slept is about 17hours ... i think.....
Seals sleep only about one and a half minutes each time? - tht's not even sleep...
Ants don't sleep at all? - they are freaking EVERYWHERE, not a suprise they dont sleep....
A snail can sleep for three years? - defler moves so slow no wonder la sleeps so long...
A person will die from total lack of sleep sooner than from starvation. Death will occur about 10 days without sleep, while starvation takes a few weeks. - crap....

There's a National Sleep Foundation also can be found here . Worth the read.

All in a days work...on a Saturday

2006-09-12T03:10:00.000+08:00

All in a days work...on a Saturday

11.30am :Left for KL at . Took the bus from Bkt Beruang to Melaka Sentral it took OJ and I, 1 hour!! b'cos instead of taking the direct route to Melaka sentral, the stupid bus had to go la to MITC lar, make one more turn round stupid MITC, came back to Bkt beruang then FINALLY went en route to Melaka Sentral, another hour gone.

Finally on the bus to KL.

1.30 pm:Nearing KL, after the seremban toll, we started crawling on the highway. Accident on the OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, going SOUTH, KL to Melaka. REASON: Accident: 13car pile up, 1 bus, one Petronas Oil Tanker. Why OUR SIDE was affected?B'cos it went like this:

On lookers: "EH look laa, accident, eh look look..ouiii the bus lar ...bla bla bla"

Messaging Kaze. He cant believe we are not in KL yet.
Oj was complaining cos he didnt get to sit near by the window seat, so as it was STILL crawling, swapped seats. OJ wouldnt let me go to sleep:

OJ: "Eh dont sleep lar, i got no one to talk to if you are sleeping"
Me: "Shut up laaa, i wanna sleep naa"
Oj: "eh dont la....potatoes bla bla chapati naan walla bla *asleep alrady*

Reached Time Square at

4.30pm. Bloody Hell. Waited at STARBUCKS, having this wierd new frappucino pumpkin something or rather, for another 30mins for the dude tht was selling OJ his new handphone. Cool new phone, now back to Melaka.
6.30pm : On the bus to Melaka. Then the bestest bus ride is about to begin. Somewhere along NILAI, the horror journey began to unfold. The bus came to a stand still. Then it rained. Guess what? its the SAME FREAKING traffic jam caused by the accident happened earlier on during the day!! PLUS efficiency at its best: 4 hours after the accident cars still on the highway.
8.30pm: OJ complained that he cant sleep. I continued sleeping.
10.30pm: OJ asleep. Its still raining. I am awake. Still on the highway. DOnt know what to do.
11.30pm: Reached Melaka Sentral. No town bus available to Bear Hill. Took a taxi.

What an awesome saturday, mostly spent sleeping in the bus.

Finally Anti Smoking Concert is over....

2006-09-05T17:34:00.000+08:00

Thank god the event went pretty smooth except for the minor glitch at the end of the show..(Thank GOD it was at the END...) Too Phat was just awesome and really made the crowd come alive!! All participants were very entertaining!! it all went as planned...*big grin* To all that was NEGATIVE towards this event, you can blow it out your @$$ because we made into THE STAR:METRO Section with a Full Colour Centerfold. Online version can also be found here.

Need to have a small celebration.....sooon :)

Now who is the stupid one....

2006-08-22T10:33:00.000+08:00

A young boy enters a barbershop and the barber whispers to
his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch
while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters
in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do
you want, son?"

The boy takes the quarters and leaves.

"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never
learns!"

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy
coming out of the ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you
a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the
dollar bill?"

The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take
the dollar, the game's over!"

Food Bazaar....

2006-07-30T19:36:00.000+08:00

Last SPARCFEST food bazaar, i helped out with Waffles...but NEVER AGAIN...oh hell no... and this time, Delifrance booth....waffles was more tiring. Delifrance week went like so:

9.15am: Go to Jusco, pick up fresh pastries. While waiting, got a free cup of coffee...heh heh
10.00am: Finally all loaded in the mighty SPARC Volkswagen Van, which smelt like a bakery...mmmmm...
10.15am: Arrive at Mosque Square, a ton of SPARC committe came and helped unload all pastries...mmmmm...
5.00pm: Sold out all pastries or selling off pastries at a steal of a price...must sell all pastries off!!
6.30pm: Go to Delifrance settle bill for daily supply of pastries.

I would do this again.....i THINK...depends on certain circumstances i guess....juniors were a great help, esp with the mobile direct selling, door to door Delifrance direct selling lol

Outdoor Pee-ing......

Embarassing much??!!

Club Registration Week...

2006-07-05T06:18:00.000+08:00

I don't think that I have ever been this tired since Miss MMU 2005, real hardwork, and thats ONLY CLUB REGISTRAION WEEK!!

I am starting to sound like a broken tape recorder, repeating the same promotion phrase to every tom, dick, harry, molly, lucy and lulu out there. Slowly developing a sore throat which enchances my broken tape recorder status, with pauses in between to clear my throat. I went to a meeting last night, I was 20mins late, everyone was there...suprise suprise..and I was so sleepy that I didnt realise that I had my shirt on inside out *zZzZzZz*

Sigh, and the weather wasnt helping either,Oj and I were the data entry speacialist, keying in the new members into the excel spreadsheet. We didnt have our normal recruiting magnets so it was sorta slow, but picking up never the less.

2 more days to go till the end of registration and the beginning of the Recovering Through Music promotion.

Coffee Cups.....

2006-07-02T16:43:00.000+08:00

A group of alumni, highly established in their
careers, got together to visit their old university
lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints
about stress in work and life. Offering his guests
coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned
with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups:
porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some
expensive and exquisite, telling them to help
themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the
lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice-looking,
expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain
and cheap ones.

"While it is but normal for you to want only the best
for yourselves, that is the source of your problems
and stress".

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,
but you consciously went for the better cups and are
eyeing each other's cups." "Now, if Life is coffee,
then the jobs, money and position in society are the
cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life,
but the quality of Life doesn't change."

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail
to enjoy the coffee in it." So don't let the cups
drive you...enjoy the coffee instead.

OH MAN!!!1 SOOO FUNNNYY!!! Worth the Loading TIME!!

Bestest Monday Ever....

2006-05-10T11:43:00.000+08:00

I had the bestest Monday ever :p No class, no tutorials, assignments DONE, off to KL. hehe on the way we saw this cat sleeping n So we went to Cyberjaya to send Ash off for her interview and then the fun begins!!! LOL KIDDING ASH :D First had to go to the Iranian Councellor Embassy place thingy in Ampang. Cos Koosha had to settle some stuff. OJ and I were waiting outside, and it was getting boring. So we decided to go in and see what's taking Koosha so long.

So as we made thru the embassy then then then there was this door, that had a no-handphone sign glued on it so we went thru that door but it just lead us to the back garden or something, so we decided that it was not the correct door lol. After finding the correct door, instantly i saw COOKIES!! so sat down first, for like 5 mins then made my move towards da cookies, chocolate chip cookies. :p Then OJ and Koosha was talking abt spot the non-iranian, so it was me DUH, more brown and sporting the mamak nose :p . THEN BEHOLD THE GUY WITH THE AWKWARD JEANS. I tell you it made is ass looked HUGE and I just couldnt let this blog entry opportunity go so easily......i took a picture.......don't worry the guy didnt know i took a picture of him looking like a clown.

Then then we went to Subways for lunch, oh no no forgot abt OJ confirming his air plane tickets but we sent him to the wrong building, where Qatar Airways office was. Anywayyyy, went to Subways AFTER that. I was sooo hungry and by the time it came to order my food, it was all excited, all those topppings and fillings and the bread and the sauce....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....picture below of my deliciouso sandwich. Being the jakun I was, I asked for all the toppings and it looked absolutely delicious! but OJ and Koosha's sandwich was much more user-friendly, easier to handle and eat, cos theirs wasnt so fat~! Mine was overflowing and all with the topppings and sauce...

Then it was off to Low Yat where OJ bought his haddisk n Koosha bought a bunch of CDs and I bought nuthin. COFFEE BEAN n TEA LEAF was awesome and FUNNY!!! As we were drinking our drinks and all (we were sitting by the glass window, seperating inside from the outside) then suddenly this guy sat right outside the glass window. the best part it this dude was balding and his hair was like shaved into this V shape lol...again another picuture....

Then back to Cyberjaya to pick up Ash and here comes another photo taking session there was this big guy lol sardarji dont know why it was funnny, apparently only to me but hey i took his picture too :p

Killing time....

Mission Impossible.......

2006-05-07T06:43:00.000+08:00

My weekend was really awesome considering that Ash, Shakir, OJ and
Kooshball n Pejman (I think thats how u spell his name) n Ali Reza
watched MI3. MAN IT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF AWESOME. The storyline was
just great.Really kept me at the edge of my seat lol. and DARN THAT
LARGE COKE, it was really going thru me which made me wanna PEE REALLY
BADLY but NO!!!! MIND OVER MATTER....MUST...WATCH...TILL...FINISH...CAN"T...AFFORD...TO...MISS...
ANYTHING~!!!! After the movie was over, oh my god!! The state of the men's toilet was just HORRIFYING, people were lining up INSIDE THE
BATHROOM to use the URINALS and CUBICLES...I just wasn't that brave
nor keen to line up.

So as we made our way down to our getaway car...my van.. (MI3) is
really getting my all hyper, several obstacles came between needing to
go to the bathroom urgently to relieve myself of the 2L coke that i
chugged down and paying the parking ticket. This STUPID GUy, with his
crapped up WIRA, windows rolled down, smoking nicely taking his own
sweet time to pass us cos we needed to get out. My window was open and
so was his, so I shouted "MOOOVEEEEE LARRRRRR~!!!!!!" My voice being
irritatingly shrill and annoying as it is travelled outta the van and
the idiot heard me and turned around. I just took this opportunity and
just dashed outta the parking space, didnt give him enough time to
think that it was actually me shouting to him to get the f*ck outta
the way. AS there was this massive line at the parking cashier counter machine
thingy, Shakir and I decided that we just needed to PEEE, so RAN OUTTA
the basement and went to the bushes outside MP - Burger King area and
then relieved ourselves....PEE OKAY(disclaimer).

What a FUN NIGHT it turned out to be lar, couldnt stop talking about
the movie as we had our supper at a mamak shop called Tiga Rose lol
somewhere near Bkt Cina. We ended up ordering quite a lotta food as
the chicken curry turned out to be great!! heheh.
oooh ooooh before the movie, we were waiting for the time to go into
the cinema at the bowling alley opposite GSC. So many people, people
bowling, people taking pictures, people taking pictures with bowling
balls, lil kids running around (1am dee still notchet sleeping sial~!)
Met Tracy and gang there with Ojen n Lil Person Yasmin and Alfian n
Andrea.

MMU AWARDS 2006

2006-05-02T15:43:00.000+08:00

More to come with pictures. *Aya gimme pictures lar~!~!* Aya was like a cat on hot bricks, from the bus ride to Cyberjaya till the event itself. Clicking away taking photos :D

The Cat......

2006-04-20T13:33:00.000+08:00

One night, as I was playing DOTA, as usual I was oblivious to the world and I pratically ignored anyone who would talk to me. Prem's sofa is always at an angle in his room so he was facing the door and then suddenly he shouted "EH GOT CAT LARR!!" As this was a stupid statement, I told him "Eh dont talk rubbish, we are on the second floor, no cat went pass me also "(my laptop was at the top of the stairs, if anything/anyone were to come up I would know)

Annoyed Prem came out and said that a cat just walked passs and defler went to the kitchen. I still didnt believe him..hehe...but as it turns out that a cat did SLIP BY and was hiding under Shakir's laundy basket hehe. As Prem and I were discussing on how to get it out of the house, Joey caught wind of the situation and just jerked the laundry basket and the cat just ran outta the house....haha.

Two guys were figuring out how to get rid of the cat, and all it took was a BLUR Ah-Moi called Joey to settle the quandry.

so fickle minded...

2006-04-09T14:52:00.000+08:00

SPARC|FEst and Summer Night City Prom is OVER. A lot of work i tell you a LOT. We were from selling Waffles, Ice Cream, Hot Dogs and Yeos drinks at CLC concourse to decorating from 12am till 7am at Water City Resort the next day, dont really know how we managed to do it all.

I rememberd the aches and pain mixing waffle batter then buttering the waffle cooker, so the batter wont stick but it will stick anyway and then need to spread the waffle with the flavors arrrrgghhh never again i tell you!!! esp the savoury waffles. oh my god it was good business but I honestly dont think I have the energy to go through another round of waffle making from 10am to 6pm with measely 30mins breaks in between. At one time i got soo tired of making waffles, just sat down and instructed juniors on waffle making :p BUT most of the time was teasing Aya on how her waffles dont come out as nice :D

The teasing went to far, Aya came at me with hands smudged with peanut butter, chocolate and butter and just strangled me. =_=" started lar...strangling each other, kicking and punching...everyone watching President and Vpresident fighting, in front of juniors, like small kids in the middle of CLC Concourse LOL!!! Now in the middle of looking for a nice blog skin to change to...sigh soo many to choose from....
