Residents upset over postcode change
Aiyoh, why Pos Malaysia never send any mail informing the residents about this. It create so much of hassle now. Damn. IDIOT company.Residents of Taman Wawasan in Pusat Bandar Puchong, Selangor, are bewildered by the sudden change of postcode number in their area.
They claimed that the change in the postcode was made three weeks ago but they were not informed about it.
According to Pusat Bandar Puchong Residents Association president Awies Ung, for the last 10 years they have been staying there, the postcode has always been 47100 but the number is now changed to 47160.
“Many residents have complained that the change is very troublesome and inconvenient for them as they have to call up banks and mobile phone companies to update their addresses.
“They are afraid that some letters and bank statements would be delayed or would not reach them,” Ung said.
In my case, I have problem, how to determined the postcode, the system in the web returned me 2 postcode for the same place. Aiyoh ... Now I need to call 1-300-300-300 to find out more.
Good luck to others that also lived in Puchong.
=== Updates at 11:17 AM ===
I called them, somehow, the operator don't know how to find it. Aiyoh, then I explained to her that I found 2 numbers for my place. Then I asked her, which one is mine? She was so nervous in telling me the answer. She herself not confident with her answer. Aiyoh, so I gave her 2 numbers and asked her to give me each of the place/taman name. Then I make some more investigations online to find out the postcode for my place.
Apparently, the Postcode Finder got bugs, for my place they accidentally entered 2 postcode numbers. I suspect their database have 2 entries of the same taman name with 2 different postcodes.
Aiyoh, good luck to others.

Grand Saga Highway Barrier Is A Fuel Guzzler
Let's do a simple mathematics:
- Considering 5 people per household, hence equivalent to 7600 families there.
- Considering 1 family own 1 car, (hey nowadays, minimum also 2 cars per family), hence 7600 cars.
- Hence total petrol consumption is 345.6 litres (per annum per car) x 7600 cars = 2 626 560 litres of petrol. A whopping 2 million 6 hundred 26 thousand 5 hundred 60 litres extra that needed to be consumed.
- Considering RM 1 subsidy per litre, a wastages of RM 2 626 560.00 of government money. Huh ..
- If 1 family own 2 car, then equivalent to RM 5 253 120. 00. Fuyoh, if government can negotiate with the bloody Grand Saga and come out with a plan that benefit both the residents and of course Grand Saga lor. The whopping 5 MILLION can be used to subsidized other thing.

Sichuan Earthquake - A Very Touching Story - Unconditional Love From A Person Called "MOM"
In Dujiangyan, rescuers witnessed a moment of unconditional love from a person call "Mom". The rescuers were digging for survivors and they found a young mother lay on her side in the rubble. In her arms, was a little infant girl about 3 - 4 months olds. The mother had already died but the infant survived. How? The baby survived on her mother's milk. The young mother ensured that her baby will still get her milk even when she died, so that she nursed her baby to the very last moment. The unconditional love from the mother to ensure her baby survived.
Rescuers said, “The baby’s healthy face was such a shocking contrast to her mother’s dust-covered lifeless face.”
The rescuers found the mother's handphone inside the baby's blanket with a message that reads "My darling baby, if you survive, please remember that I love you"...
From the curved body of the young mother, it showed that she was trying to protect her baby from the debris. She wanted to ensure her baby is unharmed.
When the rescuers carried the baby away from her mother, the baby cried, protesting loudly the moment her lips were away from her mother’s breast. I guess the baby knew that her mother has gone. She doesn’t want to be separated from her mother. Poor little baby. Dear little baby, stay strong, your mother sacrifice herself to ensure you survived from this aftermath. Appreciate the second life that your mother has given you.
Story picked/narrated from http://sichuanearthquake.org.uk/tag/mother/ and http://2008sceq.googlepages.com/en-01.Sichuan Earthquake - A very touching story
There is this one guy who found his wife dead buried under the debris. He patiently removed the debris one by one and lifted his wife dead body. He tied his wife dead body close to his back with a rope and rode the motorcycle. While on the motorcycle he said this:
"My dear, I'm accompanying you for your last journey."
In cantonese:
"Lou Po, ngo sung nei sheung lou lar."
When I heard that, I just wanted to burst into tears. How heart-wrenching it is to hear such a story. I can feels the pain that they guy is getting. Stay strong bro, you have my greatest support.

Sichuan Earthquake - Survivor Tips
1. A man survive after 9 days buried under the debris. How he do it? He drank his own urine. Remember human cannot survive without water for a maximum 3 days.
2. A man survive after 9 days buried under the debris. How he do it? He eat the grass and worms that he can find.
3. A woman survive after 9 days buried under the debris. How she do it? She drank her own blood from her leg. She survived, but the drawback is her leg need to be amputated.
Let's send our prayer and morale support to the victims of Sichuan Earthquake.

Tun Dr Mahathir commented on my comment in his Chedet
On 15 May 2008, he make another clarification to my statement at his writing at "Kepimpinanan UMNO masih "in denial"".
I have posted some comment by Amen on my public apology previously. Re-iterated here
Again, whatever I have written in the chedet was just my personal view.
Since all of us talking about ethics and responsibility in the article that we wrote. I was just saying, we should not be writing something on racial thing alone.
Orang melayu kata, kalau nak melentur buluh, biarlah dari rebungnya. Exactly, in our article, we need to be moderate and keep our perspective wide rather than just focusing on something.
We all malaysian. When we look at other countries like US, people say they are american, they didn't say I'm white, I'm black. Same thing to indonesia, Indon people said I'm Indon they don't say I'm malay, chinese or arab. Only in malaysia, we told our next generation that you are malay, you are chinese, you are indian and you are lain-lain rather than instilling in our childrens mind that we are all malaysian !!!!
When we keep telling our next generation that our race have lose power. Lost ground and etc, why kind of mentality that we are instilling in them. I study in boarding school where 99% of my counterpart is malay. I sleep, play, eat with them for 5 years in secondary school and I can even Azan. I have a lot of good friends in Malay. Trust me, we all not racist but when our leader give racist remarks, how can we tell our children that don't be racist. Lead by example please.
Notes: If you notice some grammar errors, please bear with me, my English is ain't that good. Perhaps I'm better in my malay. Hahahaha

An apology to Tun Dr Mahathir and his chedet readers
Spicy Pan Mee
Because of that, I was thinking, why not try making it at home. Guess what, I succeeded making it on the first try. It is not that hard though.
Urban Legend: Do not pump full tank of petrol
Do not pump full tank of petrol
Many of us are not aware that the petrol kiosk pump has a return pipe-line
(in black). When the petrol tank (in the car) reaches full level, there is a
mechanism to trigger off the pump latch and at the same time a return-valve
is opened (at the top of the station) to allow excess petrol to flow back into
the sump. But the return petrol has already pass through the meter, meaning
you are donating the petrol back to SHELL/ PETRONAS/ CALTEX..........
Don't believe in this, you can get the clarification from here http://www.shell.com/home/content/my-en/news_and_library/hse/2005/do_not_pump_full_tank_1014.html

Cleanliness : 3 star
Food : 3 star
Halal : Yes
2. Back: Es Cendol (1star, very bad, the cendol is too soft, the coconut milk is not fresh. If your stomach is not strong, it is a no no for you.)
Some "About Us" that I took from Waroeng Penyet website.
==== Copyright to Waroeng Penyet ====
Waroeng Penyet was initially opened on 5th January 2007 in Block 81 Marine Parade Central #01-638.==== END ====
The word "Waroeng" means a traditional hut in Indonesia that serve ranges choices of traditional authentic food with a reasonable price (unlike fine dining restaurants). The word "Penyet" means "Flattened" as most of the main dishes are being flattened. But this is just a Javanese-style of making the food unique as compared with other dishes. It does not affect in terms of taste or quality.
Waroeng Penyet was opened by 4 Indonesians who have been living in Singapore for a few years and longing to serve a real traditional Javanese food to the locals as well as to Indonesians who reside here. Due to good response and demand from customers, Waroeng Penyet has opened its 2nd branch in Blk 134 Jurong East St 13 (Jurong Cafe food court) in order to cater to the residents around there.
Within few weeks after opening, few media have come and did a publicity due to the good response from customers and also the good taste of several signature HALAL dishes like Ayam Penyet (the original one), Empal Penyet, Ayam Bakar, Siomay Bandung (Fish Dumplings w/ Peanut Sauce), Chicken Satay and Chicken Soto. On top of all that, the factors that make Waroeng Penyet different than the other restaurants that serve similar dishes are the belachan chilli (sambal terasi) as we serve spicy and mild version. This chilli is freshly made every morning in a very traditional way by our Yogyakarta-originated head chef. As for the drinks, our specialty drinks are Avocado Juice, Ice Cendol, Happy Soda and Teh Botol. All the dishes are priced reasonably to cater all markets here.
Several medias that have recommended Waroeng Penyet are Berita Harian (2 times), The Straits Times (2 times), MediaCorp Suria Channel (Suria Segar TV programme) and also TransTV Indonesia Channel.
What makes Waroeng Penyet unique is also because it is several times visited by many local celebrities (Aaron Aziz, Hafeez Glamour, Adi Rahman, Lukman SPS, Suria artistes, Jai Wahab, Ronald Susilo, etc) as well as Indonesian celebritries (Peterpan, Samsons, Nidji, NuMata Band, Meriam Bellina, etc).
Waroeng Penyet strives to serve a good quality food and we humbly welcome feedbacks and comments in order to serve our customers better. You can send your feedback to feedback@waroengpenyet.com or SMS to (+65)91775394.
With the continuos support from all the customers, we are planning to expand our wings to several parts in Singapore so that more people can enjoy the real traditional Javanese food.

Aik, where is Ning Ning, Ning Ning is hiding behind the balloon. Who is the lady posing next to me, ohh, that's my maid, Mustanah. It was her birthday, so we decided to bring her to have some Indonesia Cuisine at Waroeng Penyet. Blog about this later.
Waxing, Pain is not a factor for me
The next day, before I tried to remove it I have to take a big gasp. Arghhh ... I peeled off the patch from my shin and I can feel a sudden sharp pain. Huh .. the pain lasted for a while and it was quite ok considering that my shin is not that hairy. Huh .. a breathtaking experience.
Studio Photo of Ning Ning
IDEES PHOTO STUDIO details:
Address: B-22-2nd Floor, Vista Magna, Jln Prima, Metro Prima, Kepong, 52100 KL. (next to Jusco Kepong)
Tel/Fax: 03 - 20211980
We paid RM 78 for 11 pieces of 4R studio photo. The basic package is RM36 for 4x 4R photo with one costume. Any additional 4R photo will be charged RM6 per photo.
Below are the good points and bad points of Idees Studio Photo
Good Points
1. Photo quality - good
2. Final touch up - good
3. Price - quite reasonable
4. Patient - the schoolboy look photographer putting a very good attitude while taking the photo but his BOSS is the other way. Sighh
Bad Points
1. Photo taking Techniques - average. He did not take the photo himself, instead he asked his schoolboy look assistant to do it.
2. Boss Attitude - BAD, why read here.
3. Customer Service - BAD, read here.
Initially before we took up the promotion for photo-shoot, the boss was the best owner in the world by saying "it's ok that you don't want to take the photo-shoot, come just have a look on our final product". The world change in the exact 180 degrees when we decided to take up the offer and opt only 11 pieces of photo out of the 40+ photos taken. He changed from Mr Nice Guy to Mr Mean. Jezz, it is my right as a consumer to decide what I want to do.

All the picture above, we took it at Genting Highlands, Hotel Resort during our little getaway to Genting Highlands.
