Sawadeekap. One nasi Pattaya

Nasi Pattaya is not served at Hard Rock Cafe Pattaya

"Nasi Pattaya, Nasi Pattaya" Thats what we always hear in our local warung (malay food store) I have always wondered if Pattaya is really famous for this rice.

The curiosity came true when I have a meeting in the city of Pattaya itself. Pattaya is located around 200 km from Bangkok. Something like KL to Ipoh. Landed at Suvarnabumi Airport in Bangkok around noon. Took a taxi which cost around RM300 from Bangkok City to Pattaya. Stepping up the Toyota Camry taxi was joy at first but when stuck in Bangkok jam that was really "great". It took the taxi 4 hours to reach Pattaya. Normal traveling hour is around 2 hours. No make thing worse, the taxi driver do not understand English. Its like talking cock and bull. Luckily he managed to understand i need a stop for nature's call.

When the taxi reach Pattaya and was taking the costal road to the world renowned "Ah Lok Hotel" Ahem Hard-Rock Hotel, things was different. I thought I was in some western country. The ratio of westerners and locals are around 50-50.

After some rounds, the taxi stopped in front Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya, which is located beside Hard Rock Cafe. I was being ushered in my a bunch of "school boys" . I called them school boys as they only wear shorts and T-Shirt which is their uniform. Checking in was a breeze as reservation have been made. USD100 per night seems OK. (Im not paying. Hehe)

The reception and lounge area is so unique with Elvis Presley and friend there. They even give you a "Star" room key. The walkway, the room are just awesome. Uniquely Hard-Rock. See for your self the pictures below and you will know what I mean.

Nice pool. There is sand by the side too.

Make Me Suicidal. Suicidal- Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

"You are way too beautiful girl. Thats why you never work. You will have me suicidal suicidal when you say its over. Damn all these beautiful girl..."



That is the most interesting song I stumble upon at Shennanigen at Hyatt Regency Hotel Kota Kinabalu. Enjoy it and more updates from the Land Below the Wind- Sabah!

Miri- the oil town of Malaysia

It might be just a coincedence that the town starts with "M". Miri- the town of peace and prosperity.
I have always the so called "deja-vu" feeling when I visit Sarawak, the land of the hornbills. Things just feel so nice and at home when I was there. Maybe its just the slow moving cars and the way people sitting enjoying life all around. Its just a stressed free town. Things goes by slowly without any need of urgency. People take their time even to cross the street. Is this the so called "life" that most metropolitans dreamt of? Why can some people just enjoy their days by the beach, playing chess and enjoy while the days passed by? Whereas some are spending all their time in the office or at work working 24/7 with all the stress.

The first stepped out of Miri airport, I told myself, Im gonna like this town alot. It was the peak hour of Thursday but it fills like middle of the night in KL, just except the sun shining brightly. The weather is cooling, the air is fresh and the people are friendly.

When the sun goes down its all about sea food. Large prawns and fish with just a fraction of the price. Life is good for a food lover. After a great meal of unique seafood and never been seen fishes its time to enjoy the scroll down the peaceful street.

Although Miri its not any historic city, the night life is just like any historic city. The dimmed lights with night spots playing slow music, the hawker pushing their old worked up carts, make it as though im in Malacca. Except the much slower pace of life.

Life is just good. Need a holiday? Will always recommend Sarawak. Just take a boat ride up Rajang river, the longest river in Malaysia and you will definately agree with me.

Mika- Life in Cartoon Motion

This album was been aired again and again on the local radio station. Mica Penniman or better known as Mika managed to make it big through his debut album. The song "Relax, Take it easy" was in the no.1 in UK and France chart. Something that caught the attention here is the name of the title. Life in cartoon motion.

Mika- Life in Cartoon Motion CD cover

Is our life in cartoon motion? Is things around us just superficial? Can we be like the cartoon heroes that will not die even how many times they are killed? Well something for sure that will never be forgotten is your name. Make it a great name may it be a cartoon creator like Walt Disney or great scientist like Albert Einstein. These names never die. Even some names of great musician and singers such as Elvis and the Beatles will always be remembered.

*Mika does sings some nice song. Get a copy of the album and find out for yourselves.

Make Love? Dog Making Love to the Laptop!

See it to believe it! A dog is humping all the way with the laptop. An astonishing experience.

The human mind is just so fascinating nowadays. See the gadgets in Japan and you will know what i mean. There are lots of creativity in their work. They think out of the box. Even everyday equipments can be turned into a novelty. Some of these people should really work for charity or for mother nature. They will create interesting ways to save mother nature!

Muttons FHM Bra Competition

My! my! Look at what is happening in Singapore. They can think of such "interesting" things over there! Things are just so unpredictable over there. And the speed also. I never know one can do it so fast. "This" is really life long learning.

Manglish makes easy! Is that the way to go?

Proud to be a Malaysian? You ought too. We are just so innovative. Although we are using the Queen’s English since the colonial era, our own “English language” has also taken form. Manglish- the way Malaysian speaks English. Even at times I do not understand some of the Manglish, it just reduce the sentence to just a few words but carry lots of meaning.

Some classical examples are:

English: The project we are working on is a failure. We are in trouble now!
Manglish: Die! Project die lah!

English: Can you please reverse your car?
Manglish: Gostan!

English: Please switch off the power for the lights.
Manglish: Off light!

English: Excuse me, can you please move aside? You are blocking the way.
Manglish: Hot water! Hot water!

English: He is a cunning man. Please be careful when you are dealing with him.
Manglish: Con man la! Don’t get con ok.

English: What would like to have for lunch sir?
Manglish: Makan (Eat)! Minum(Drink)!

English: Please be careful with those fragile goods. You will be held responsible for the condition.
Manglish: Careful aa.. If break you pay!

English: We ought to be positive in our thinking. Keep the motivation up!
Manglish: Malaysia boleh (can)!

Sometimes I wonder if we are to feel embarrassed or feel proud. Should we feel proud that we have our own identity and have our Manglish? Or should we feel ashamed of polluting the English language? Welcome to the boleh land!

Maybe? Anything? Are we so undecided?

You can see people sitting on the park benches in Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) area. You can see people sitting on curb by the road side waiting for the bus. The best of all people who likes to sit on the fence all the time.

The so-called “undecided” disease is spreading fast in the local community. Some people do not like to commit themselves. Some are just unsure an easily influenced. To test the fiddle mind of the human being, I decided to go to the local shopping mall to give it a try.

The task is easy. Just go to any ladies section and give some comments on the dresses and you will see how easily influenced is the human mind. I once commented on the dress a lady is about to buy. Upon hearing my comments on how terrible the dress is, she just put down the dress and chooses another one. The society is like that. We buy or wear things that the society thinks is good on us.

Another classic is the lunch time question. “What do you want for lunch?” Sounds familiar? The subsequent answer is “anything” or “you decide”. Looks likes there are lots of blind followers here. Most people are just too lazy to think. They prefer things to be decided for them. All they have to do is just to follow. Just like the Digi ad “I will follow you”. The yellow condom guy look alike will just follow you everywhere you go without thinking.

Come to think of it. It’s not totally our fault. The government here practices a just follow do not ask much kind of regulation. If you ask more, more secrets will be revealed. Some secrets are not to be known and if leaked out you are to be jailed. Just to think of it. There is only one president/ prime minister and there are so many followers!

MCP- Free! Lots and lots in Malaysia

MCP is not related to Microsoft. It is not the qualifications in IT but most Malaysians have it.

One thing I noticed when I stepped foot into supermarkets and hypermarkets especially the ones in Klang Valley is that there are lots of MCP holders. Malaysian Cheapo People (MCP) is the requirement for free lunch.

Heard people saying that there is no free lunch in this world? I can prove him/her wrong. Any person that holds the MCP can have free lunch anytime at any shopping centers, supermarkets or hypermarkets. Being an MCP does not need lots of money, yet you can gain a lot. Below is the short story of a typical life of a MCP.

The MCP wake up at 10am on the Sunday. She just takes a bath and essential make-up and there she goes to the shopping complex. Browsing along the cosmetic session she managed to get some free perfumes, get the eyes make-up, free lipstick and so on. After the “beauty regime” she feels she is hungry. There she walks into the nearby hypermarkets. With a shopping basket, she goes to hunt for free food. There are lots of free tasters especially on the weekends. She goes to the instant noodle area for appetizer first and fills it up with mee. If one is not enough, the MCP can always ask for more by just saying “ Ahya.. one is not enough to taste. Can I have another one?” Before leaving she will take a 5 pack instant noodles and dump in to the basket. When she walked to the next rack she will just dump it somewhere. Then she goes to the frozen food area for the main meal. There will be fish fingers, sausages, BBQ chickens and lots more. The MCP will just follow the eat , take and dump strategy. Everyone is happy. Then comes the dessert, the MCP will target the ice cream, yogurt or the instant drink area. There it goes a full 3 course meal. The MCP will take some sweets and then check-out. A few bucks for something to keep the mouth fresh.

Next the MCP feels like she needs to know some gossip news, about celebrity and more. The MCP feels so happy when she saw a bookstore. Walk in grasp a magazine or a book and start reading. There are many seats for reading too especially like MPH in Mid-Valley Megamall.

After an hour or two, the MCP feels tired. She is tempted to try all the foot reflexology shops. “Why should I pay?” The names with all the “O”s will come out- Osim, Ogawa, Otto. You just name it and they have everything. The MCP just drop by the store show how interested she is and try them one by one. After that she would just tell the salesperson that she will consult with her mother because she is buying it for her mother and will bring her mother to try one day. There she goes again.

No wonder there is so many MCPs here. Free lunch for the day? Who would not like to have a try? As the saying goes: Malaysia-Truly Asian. Malaysians-Truly Cheapo. I wonder what these people are thinking.

Man of Steel in Malaysia!

We do have men of steels in Malaysia and they are quite a number of it. They are not required to wear their underwear on the outside or need to have the “S” logo on the chest. Ironically they do like anything made of steel, iron and especially copper!

Just look at the news and you well notice that our national power provider wires has been stolen, manholes missing and even drain covers lost in action. These are the doing of the illegal Men of Steel.

I do not realize the value of these iron stuffs until one of my friends who like to go to junkyard to get his art stuffs told me that a kilo of copper such as the drain covers can easily fetch RM10-RM12 per kilo. No wonder things are missing. Just imagine a manhole cover which is more than 10kg- RM100 per manhole cover. You just need to get 1 cover per day and your will be earning 3k. 30 manholes missing! That will be dangerous!

Never thought those covers are so valuable! Someone can just earn a living by collecting those.

There are also lots of legal Men of Steel in Malaysia. Just go to any place with lots of junkyard like Sg. Buluh and you can find them collecting none other than iron products. You can easily recognize their nest by seeing the signage such as “Ah Kau Kereta Potong” and such. There will be exhaust pipes, cut off cars and aluminum cans hanging all around. I wonder if I saw any of these cars before in any fatal accidents.

Actually, these places are worth visiting and you may even get their numbers and they will collect scraps from your house for free. When you want to throw out that spoilt microwave oven or fridge, these Men of Steel are really good. They will go to your place FOC and help you carry them off. They can carry a 6 feet 2 door refrigerator with just 2 people. No wonder they are men of steel.

As the saying goes one man’s junk is anther man’s treasure. It’s a good way to recycle and to help Mother Nature too.

Look it’s a bird! No it’s a plane! Nah it is just the Ah Beng wearing steel underwear on the outside.

MRT in Malaysia! Yes it is true!

MRT is all the while in Malaysia. We have not noticed it even before the construction of our Light Rail Transit (LRT). It is not about the Mass Rail Transit in Singapore but the Malaysian Real Time or Malaysian Rubber Time (MRT).

We in Malaysia are following the Greenwich Meant Time (GMT) of +8 which is similar to countries such as Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The strange thing is that we tend to follow one of the oldest agricultural commodities of Malaya- Rubber. The elasticity of Malaysian time is really very stretchable. It can reach for few hour differences. Take for instance the below invitation card.

8.00 pm Arrival of Guest
8.30 pm Arrival of VIPs
9.00 pm Opening Ceremony

In MRT, the situation might be totally different

8.30 pm Arrival of Guest
9.15 pm Arrival of VIPs
10.00pm Opening Ceremony

I think most of us will experience this. I call this “Injury Time” In MRT there is always ½ hour to 1 hour of injury time. This 1 hour is still acceptable if you compare it with Chinese wedding dinner. I once attended a wedding dinner stating 7pm sharp and I was there at 7pm and there is only like 1/10 of the people there. The bride and bridegroom finally walk in at 9pm. My stomach was so full at that time, not with food but Chinese Tea. I never like attending weddings dinner since then sometimes its better to stay at home and eat then attend dinner.

MRT happens a lot in our daily life. Sometimes it is not that we have a choice. Think of it going to dinner at 7pm every time and have to wait for 2 hours. Once bitten twice shy.

MRT maybe so elastic and can extend to few hours but sometimes the elasticity will just fail to go even 10 min. Just try going to an interview half and hour late and you will know what I mean. Interview you must be ½ hour earlier. When you start work the elasticity will normally come back and you can be ½ hour late. It is just like the extending and compacting of rubber and the famous excuses that goes with MRT is – blame it on the traffic.

“Itu jalan punya pasal. Tuhan buat dia jam tiap tiap hari” translated as “That is the fault of the road. God makes the road jam everyday”

Malaysian is not only famous for these product made out of rubber. MRT +0 here we come!

Now I know the reason why Malaysian rubber is so famous for its tires and condoms. We produce them and we inculcate it to our culture. I think its time to replace GMT +8 to MRT +0.

Maneuver your own life

Wondering down the winding road

Carrying a few crump of bread

Seeing a bunch of children amused

Laughing and at a fiddle the a lad

Approaching the funny looking lad

I asked

What are so special when I am sad?

Lonely, hungry and the bread taste bad

Should I go on? Or being moved?

Is there a Promised Land?

The lad answered

You are on the Promised Land

You might think I am mad

But I am just giving you my card

Call me when I am needed

I took and looked

The lad was no where to be found

Just a few words on the card

“Sourness is Sweetness good friend,

Which friend – you decide.”

More Stress? Do Not Be Tension!

Tension? read these...

The moment you are in tension
You will lose your attention
Then you are in total confusion
And you’ll feel irritation
This may spoil your personal relation
Ultimately, you won’t get co-operation
And get things into complication
Then your BP may raise caution
And you have to take medication
Why not try understanding the situation
And try to think about the solution
Many problems will be solved by discussion
Which will work out better in your profession
Don’t think it’s my free suggestions
It is only for your prevention
If you understand my intention
You’ll never come again into tension!!!

Look he is in tension. Please don't. My new mascot still goes without a name. Any ideas?

Master of Imitation - Humans

When we are at the age of two it is when we human beings learn to walk. This is the stage we need to master all our movement right as seen by others. We humans imitate.

If we do not see and imitate how are we going to learn to walk? If we do not imitate how people talk, how are we going to talk?

Our language, our lifestyle, our fashion our movements and even our belief are all imitation. The previous generations have created this and we are just followers. Not many people here are creating something new in this world. Just look at today. How many history moving creations are there compared to the olden days? How many leaders are there in this world? And how many followers are there? In other words leaders =risk and followers =security.

Let say if a shoe company wants to introduce the type of shoe into Africa, the first mover company is taking all the risks. If they are successful most company will want a share of the pie. So any of you want to be the first?

A fake SD card and a real SD card. Almost every popular brand has an imitation

In our daily lives, we see lots of imitation goods around us. Some like it some don’t. Famous brands in fashion in equipments are imitated and sold in a much cheaper price? Is that right or wrong? Is imitation a bad thing? There is always both side of the coin. Imitation do “so-called” disrupt the earnings of the starter. But does it really affect them that much? But on the other hand imitation does help the starter in creating awareness. Will so many people know of LV products if not for the imitations? These indirect advertising actually helped LV-A free advertising for the original brand.

Now the human imitation comes in.

“If all my friends have LV bags, I should have one too” Is that thinking called original? Your LV bag may be original but are you an original or different human being? Why not just take a pouch and be original? Some people might say that they do not like imitation and wants to be original. The bad news is over 90% of people imitates consciously and unconsciously. They are just contradicting their own selves. If you want to be original you need to go against the norm and create something new like a new trend or fashion and not following.

Breast implants. Is Salma Hayek's original? Are those genuine or...?

As the saying goes- “follow by example”. We follow what people do and we try to create something that is quite similar to it and call it our own. This is where the word –“innovation” comes along. We copy some we add some we subtract some and we called it out original work.

To find a creator nowadays is so difficult. Creation is like creating a new language a new phenomenon that is out of this world. So are you a creator, an innovator or an imitator? You decide.
