Last week, for the first time, my family watched Johor Bahru motorcross race and we were very excited it. This week (Saturday), we tried something new as well. Yesterday, while accompanying my wife playing bowling in Skudai Parade conjunction with our sports week at our workplace, I entertained all our 3 kids. It’s not easy to handle 3 kids who have their own thoughts and mind. One wants to watch movie, another one wants to buy toys, one want this, one want that… Ahrgghh…. But I still need to take care and entertain them… They are my kids and I love them all.

So, I brought them down for some ice cream at MacDonald’s booth and get some thinking play games – Monopoli and Stake Your Claim. We played both games while their mother were still throwing the heavy balls. However, it was not really comfortable to play the board game there, so after a while the kids get bored. Despite of their interest of playing Monopoli, they are still new the game concept. That’s fine… the game is good enough as it educate them to count, calculate, think and instill some level of enterprising trait. I hope my kids can play Monopoli very well later.

After that, to kill the time, we went into the karaoke box for the first time. The kids were very excited with the microphone and sang like crazy. I invested RM10 for 10 songs and get 1 free. So, we selected few songs and sang like nobodies business… Haha…. it was very fun…

Earlier today (Sunday), we played Monopoli properly. I became the bank manager. Ikhwan, Marsya, Alya and mummy played. After 20 minites, Alya got bored and left the game. I can’t blame her. She’s just 4 years old. So, I took over her game and became the banker at the same time. I bought some more properties on top of what Alya have bought earlier. I build more shops and to cut the story short, everybody either bankrupt or gave up… So, I won. Ikhwan cried, not accepting that he has lost money and properties!!! Marysa cried as well but not as bad as her brother.

Now what? Marsya has asked to play the game again tonight!!!

We now have a new place for breakfast. It has been 3 days back to back that we had our breakfast in Macdonald’s. It is indeed a nice new place to enjoy a peaceful and pleasant breakfast. Our choice is the 24 hours Macdonald’s beside Shell near UTM.

Here are 6 reasons why I love breakfast at Mcdonalds:

1. I can read free newspaper. They serve News Straight Times, The Sun, Harian Metro and Berita Harian. There is one or two Chinese news paper that I could not read…

2. They provide wireless internet. So, after reading newspaper, I can browse check my emails there.

3. The place is cozy , comfortable and relaxing. No doubt with that. We tend to spend extra hours there, eating , chatting, reading newspaper and internet without any interruption.

4. The breakfast options/menu is good and the price is reasonable. I don’t have to buy 2 portions of breakfast for me and my wife. We share it, not because we are stingy, but both of us eat less. Even we share food, sometimes, we have to force ourselves to finish them.

5. Free coffee refill. This is very good for us. A set of breakfast will have a cup of coffee. So, when the coffee is not enough, we can just refill them. The coffee is also tasty and delicious…

6.  Free car park and easy accessibility. This is important. If the car park is not there, it’s going to trouble the customers. The car park is abundantly available and it is just a few steps from the restaurant.

So far, those are the six points I can think off. If any of you can add more on to it, please feel free to say it…

We discovered about the Motocross and Cub-cross yesterday. Today we went and witness for the first time FREE of Charge the Motorcross and Cubcross. It was really fun watching the race but the atmosphere was very hot and dusty, well, that’s typical Malaysia climate and the dust was mainly contributed by the racing which took place on dry red soil.

It was quite challenging snapping photos of the very fast bikes using my normal Panasonic digital camera. Does that mean I need to upgrade to a DSLR? I don’t know yet… I fear I don’t have the time to play with it if I buy it. Enough…enjoy some photos from the race…

The amateur race is about to commence

Some action of the afternoon

These bikes belong to the American contestants

The weather is very hot. This photo was taken at 2.30  pm after the junior race

The junior bikers. The youngest was 8 years old. Very amazing!!!

The amateur is getting ready for the race…

We dined at Secret recipe just now, after watching the Motocross and cub-cross in front of Sutera Mall earlier this afternoon. My wife suggested a new western meal – Mosarella bake fish. It looks nice, so I ordered it. The taste is good, delicious and it is served with round potatoes which are crispy from outside, not like wedges. I have not tasted such potato like that before. It also served asparagus as well and that was the first time I are that too. The price is RM17.50 per meal. It’s good to taste it for the first time. Check it out yourself…

I can’t help it. I kept thinking about what happened three days ago. I’m indirectly infected as well from the human disaster impacting another innocent human being.

A house in a nearby neighbourhood of mine was intruded by 7 to 8 robbers at about 6 am. A pair of husband and wife plus their kid(s) (not sure how many kids they have) became a victim of their evil intention. I don’t want to highlight which race did the cruel action. It’s not about the race of the robbers. It’s also not about the race of the victim. It’s not about local or outside people. It’s about what normal human should not do to others. Please respect others, then you will be respected as well. They simply displayed their evil side and animal behaviour without thinking of the consequences. They took 2 laptops, some jewelries, cash and other valuable stuffs that I’m not sure of. Not enough with that, they raped the wife! Common… you want to steal something, just steal something. Please don’t hurt, harm or do anything to any member of the family.

The tragedy definitely has triggered a psychological damage to the victim. We are all deeply sympathy to the victim and we hope they can get back to their lives and try to forget dark incident. For the criminals, or should I call animal, don’t you think of your wicked and sinful action???

You have destroyed other people’s live. Just imagine what you did happen to your family members? Do you like it?

This animal don’t deserve to live. They should be punished to death!!! If you are poor, very poor, don’t have money, just take the precious stuffs that you think can be converted to dollars… Not damaging ones dignity…

Oh… God, please make our home a better place to live. Please oh God, diminish evil humans from this world!!!

I subscribed to several informative and rich technical content blog such as Daily Blog Tips and read an article titled Google’s SEO Report Card. According to Daniele Scocco, the owner of DailyBlogTips.com, he was browsing through his RSS feeds and I came across an interesting post from the Google Webmaster Blog, titled Google’s SEO Report Card.,

The report, unlike other typical one, was created to help Google’s engineers to optimize their product pages for search engines.The report touches on many on-page and on-site SEO factors, such as title tags, meta tags, heading tags, canonical URLs, image tags and link anchors. They also provide examples to better illustrate what they want to convey.

It’s good that we know and understand the secrets behind the mystery of search engine optimization. So, if you are not an engineer by qualification, maybe you can be an SEO engineer…

Here is the direct download link for the PDF. We are not sure how long this report will be available online, but act fast before it disappears.

Yes!!! Its finally sports week in my work place. Almost everybody is participating in one or more sports. This is good because it will help become more fit and reduce my weight. Last year I registered to play badminton, soccer and volleyball. Unfortunately due to unknown reason, the soccer match was canceled and we can’t play volleyball because our team lack of players. I only joined the badminton team and fought other faculties and we emerged as the winner.

This year, I registered to play soccer, volleyball and badminton again. The funny thing is we are going to play our first volleyball match tomorrow and we have not yet trained!!! haha… So, tomorrow we are going to the battle without any practice… Next week I’m possibly going to play badminton…I don’t know about soccer schedule.

Hope I can reduce a kg or 2.

Will this inspire you to work harder?

I saw the news at 8pm and 12 in the morning and could not help it to check on how this guys managed to be so damn rich…  If you analyze, you will see most of them are senior citizen categories. But check out those in their 40’s… In that category, I only know Tony Fernandez of Air Asia and the son of Tun Mahathir. Wow… they are so successful financially in that age group. What about me… What about you?

This is a follow up post for my new hobby and the answer to the question at the end of the post.

I got myself a new Blackberry Storm 9500

Before this, I have been using with full heart my loyal Sony Erickson K810i. It has been such a tremendous servant to me and I believe I have really maximized K810i to its full potential. I used  almost every features available from basic call and SMS to listening to radio, browsing the web. However, lately, my beloved Sony Erickson has shown signs of fatigue after being actively used for 2 years and 3 months. I cannot key-lock it and sometimes some of the keys do not function well. I have repaired the hand phone twice and  I think it is about time to get myself a new toy.

I was aiming an iPhone 3G all this while but I don’t want to waste myself 2K plus. I know iPhone 3G is the most popular choice and I love it. My brother Budeen and sister Rina use iPhone. I love iPhone because of the available features and unbelievably numerous applications it possess. No need to mention all those aps here. But, if I own one, I’ll use it for reading hundreds of my .pdf files, audio files and others.

I surfed and searched for iPhone in Mudah.my. I found some good offers but I did not try to ask further. However, last week I saw somebody uploaded an ad to sell a new Blackberry Storm for RM1450. I thought it was a really interesting offer but I still let it go. Yesterday, I read a post by my good friend, Rohaizad who is also thinking to get himself a new set of smart hand phone. After reading his post, I surfed to my new favourite site, Mudah.my. Then, I saw the advertisement again. The Blackberry Storm price was now reduced to RM1250. Hey… that smart phone is still there. I immediately sms Andy, the advertiser whom I initially thought was a chinese (he’s a Malay).

I asked numerous question about the Blackberry that he is selling. I need to know the detail. I asked him again what is his final offer and he said RM1200. Hmmm…this gets getter and better. All his answers and responses satisfied me and finally I decided to meet up with him 1 hour after the first sms to him. We met at Plaza Angsana in front of McDonalds. I checked, tested and tweaked the new set of Blackberry Storm with some good help from my more gadget savvy wife. After 1 and half hour checking out the BB 9500, I finally agreed to take the set. We made a final bargain and we got it at RM1100. I paid him all in cash and he handed me the box.

In the car, my wife explored the new blackberry while I drove home. I strongly feel that I had just made a wonderful and sweet purchased. I got a new Blackberry storm 9500 for RM 1100. What a bargain… A good bargain from Mudah.my…

Now… we’re still exploring the functions… I think it will take me some time to fully optimize the full function of the sleek elegant Blackberry Storm…

Somehow I think, some of you may want to ask me questions about this hp… is it real? original etc? Throw those questions and I’ll answer them honestly…
