Speeding Kancil 2006-10-31 04:52:37 One day, an uncle was driving on the highway in his CLK (cute little kancil) when the engine started to choke. He quickly stop the car by the side just in time before the engine died off. So, the uncle open the hood and see la. Just a few minutes after, a young man was cruising in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 on the same highway. He quickly spotted the broken down kancil with the uncle standing beside it alone. Being a kind man, he pulled over right in front of the kancil to offer help. Having very little engineering skills, the young man couldn't fix the problem. The man then came up with a brilliant idea. He told the uncle that he has a cable in his boot and offered to tow the kancil to the next toll house where he could get help. The uncle agreed to that idea. The uncle also added that if he feels that they are moving too fast, he would flash the young man and also use the horn. So, the young man secured the kancil to the back of his Evo using the cable.

Stage Fright.... 2006-10-08 19:48:45 Years ago, when I had to perform in my kindergarten's end of year concert, I had a massive stage fright despite being all excited up to the very moment I had to step out and face the audience.You know, the heart tumbling, mouth dry, stammering, butterflies in the stomach, etc .....This is otherwise known as the "fight or flight" syndromes....Over the years....the many competitions in Micromouse, Inter-Class Debates, Swimming competitions, Taekwando tournaments and even the days in Nikon as a Seminar presentor and trainer....the initial leap to face the audience is easily overcome. It took lots of toughening up.If you ask me today, to preach on my ideas or a topic to a group of people up to 300-500 people, it should not even be a problem for me. If you ask me to do a 1-1 demonstration and discussion with a stranger, I might be able to do it without even my heart beating faster.However, today, I faced what every other guy would face one day. Meet the Parents. Yes, I met Hilda's Parents Read more: Stage

3.5/5Only "exciting" Ride was the
Space Mountain, even so, it was mild, compared to those at Ocean Park. However,
it is a childhood fantasy to visit Disneyland

It was a day in immerse into the fantasy land of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto,
Goofy, Stitch, Winnie the Pooh and
Tigger.Spoiler of the day was the arrogant
China Man who jumped queue and yet have the cheek to tell the employee of
Disneyland off.Lots of Filipinos and
Indonesian Chinese around. Another Irksome Scene saw was on the train ride back
from Disney. A middle eastern family (very obvious from the dressing of the
ladies) were sitting on a row of seats on the train, which is okay. Beside the
"wife" were 2 young ladies, seemingly local. At one of the stops the 2 young
ladies got off and 2 young man saw the empty seats and sat down, right next to
the "wife". The "wife" immediately made a face and got her husband to change the
seats with her. My Take is: if it is
so "haram" to even

1970-01-01 00:59:59
HUH?
What the heck am I talking about here....but yes, it's the time
of the year.
December
usually marks a very busy period where people rush to cope with
work, especially those in the supply industry. Parents juggle
with having to take time off to bring the children for
holidays, leaving the single colleagues to fend and cope with
the load. The mad rush for the commercialised Christmas
Shopping. The packing of schedules to meet friends that you
have never met for the rest of the years. You want to lay back
and rest, yet even as you lay back, you start to think of the
year gone past, and the year ahead.
Welcome
to December.
Usually
by this period, most manufacturers of toys and gadgets would
have shipped out their products for sales, hoping to catch the
Festive shopper. However, this year begs to differ. Microsoft
delayed their product release to Jan 30th. This also means the
