Just in case some of you still unaware of this little extension for your Firefox browser. This addon let you use your disk space in yor Gmail account to store your datas. I find it very useful for backups and you don’t need to carry your thumbdrive everywhere you go. It’s something like an ftp (file transfer protocol) client.

Go check it out at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1593/

With the reputation of Gmail in the webmail game… i wonder why there are still people who have not heard of Gmail…. let alone using it. There are many friends of mine still reluctant to migrate from other webmail service provider…. namely Hotmail and Yahoo. Even while at work, when I gave away my gmail address on the phone to some clients… they were like “Huh?? G what? How to spell? No hotmail?”. Well, I understand that we need a Hotmail/MSN account for MSN Messenger… Live Messenger and a Yahoo id for all Yahoo’s services but for email…. I think no one can beat Gmail yet. Their approach to email is simply out of this world and their no-nonsense advertising. Simple, fast and elegant. The chat applet built into the Gmail interface is brilliant. U can hook up with your friends practically at anywhere. No need to install any chat programs.

So, for this gspace… if you already have a gmail account… please don’t use your primary account. Get a bogus one for file transfers. I dont know if the programmer of this little add-on is a malicious hacker.

Anyone know where the fuck in KL can I get these stuffs:

a) military-quality poncho
b) durable army boots
c) reasonably-priced quality 25L backpack (gee, i can’t afford karrimor)

Maybe I should go to Pertama Complex and see if they have it there. Hmm..

I cried yesterday… while finishing the last chapter of the book Flags of our Fathers. A very touching real story….. especially the letter the grand-daughter wrote to her grandad (the flagraiser-Doc). Looking forward for the movie to reach Malaysia. I wonder if it will be screened in Malaysia.

Ok. First of all, Nestle does not pay me anything to put this up here. Sorry. I was strolling at the Kepong Jusco supermarket this afternoon while waiting for my cousins to grab some clothes for the wedding dinner tonite. They came from Johor for the wedding of one aunt and they brought no decent clothes for a dinner. Uncle fucked them up and I gotta bring them to buy some decent clothes.

You would ask why I put up a Koko Krunch box here. Well, I’m a fanatic of it. Many of my friends would laugh at me for that I still crave for these cereals. Aren’t they just for kids ?? I don’t know. I’m a big kid I’d guess. I can wallop a big box in 2 days. Nowadays, there are stiff competitions among the cereal brands and they came up with all sorts of freebies to give away to keep their loyal customers. It’s something a kid would look for. Smart move. The McDonald’s Happy Meal way is proven to work. Food + toy = sales !!

Here, I wonder if their toy collection of body parts…. have a penis or a vagina. You know… maybe this one I got here is for the South East Asia market. Maybe in Europe or Japan, they have the penis or vagina….

So, the meet up on Saturday nite was rather pleasant with the presence of Lex, Gallivanter, meekie, tihtahpah and that Larawannabe. We have it at Mid Valley Chilli’s and then we proceeded to Hartamas Cristro’s for a few pints of spiritual beverages.

Actually, to me, it was kinda awkward as we seem to know each other for sometime but in fact it was the first time meeting them in person. We call this the power of internet. I spent the first half hour gazing at them, studying them as much as I can in the dim light, and got interrupted by Lex’ popek-popek but nevertheless she’s good to have as a live wire. Lex made edible cookies though a bit soft and not that crispy. There’s still room for improvements. Keep up the good baking. We want more, we want more… cookies… for cookie monster is waiting.

I don’t know if this meet-up was the idea of Gallivanter or meekie, but thanks to them for making it happen. They will be the organizer for events to come. Good to have someone to fix all the things and all you have to do is just bring yourself. Ahoy. Gallivanter, the preacher of kilkennism, is shorter than I’ve expected. No offence intended. He’s an interesting guy. On the other hand, meekie’s kinda elegant with her dress and bling blings… and so happened she’s the classmate of woaychee in secondary school. What a fucking small world.

As for tihtahpah, she was late but better than never. She had cool day in a cool job before she came for the meet-up. After a few sips of alcohol, she turned red and hot. Her face was so red after a few sips of mojito. Kekekkekek. LOL.

Last but not least, there was this malay lady… she’s Larawannabe. She came with her hubby (not a blogger) and her cute little girl.

The meet is tomorrow at Mid Valley. A bunch of strangers will be meeting up for dinner and then a second round plan. Haha.

Of late, we seldom see any revolution in the music industry unlike what happened in the years of the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Scorpions, Tupac and the likes where generations of artists later would imitate if not follow their style.. or as an inspiration or something like that.

I’m not in the industry nor do I have anything to do with these people. I’m just a bloke on the street who likes music that’s good. Well, its just a curiosity.

A week or two ago, I came across this banner at Hard Rock Cafe in downtown KL where the tribute band, Beatles impersonators… look alike… fanatics.. what ever you call them.. will be doing gigs there. It was The Mersey Beatles. I’m a Beatles fan myself despite the generation gap… but to come to think of it… it is very good to see after years the band disbanded… let alone 2 band members were dead, there are still a huge legion of followers. Better still, they are of one or two generations younger.

There are also many Elvis’ and MJ’s look alikes. Even in the audition of Malaysian Idol 2, you’d see a macha groping his crotch while doing the moonwalk before the 3 judges. These legends have their own style and way or dressing that distinguish them from the rest.

Are there any other performers that have such an impact on our society nowadays where the next generation might try to follow? Be it their hairstyles, dressings, way of singing, playing instruments etc. 50 Cent? This generation are dressing like the rappers with all the bling blings etc.

At last, I went to KL Tower with my colleagues. It was crowded and full of school childrens. The sky was blanketed by haze… or was it the windows were dirty?! Didn’t see much as it was full of childrens. It was so damn noisy and hectic.

Ken’s car was crashed 2 weeks ago. His brother was driving it in Melaka. My colleague settled the case. Then, 3 days ago someone stole Lee’s car and awaiting a colleague (different dept) of mine to record a statement from him. And I rear ended a Toyota Unser yesterday on the LDP near Uptown. Getting a courtesy car from the workshop tomorrow.

So… anymore vehicle loss? Whose to come? I think my boss should’ve had this as our company’s motto: “Your loss is our gain !”

Letters from Iwo Jima trailer #1

Letters from Iwo Jima trailer #2

Last Thursday, I was in Klang for work. It rained heavily in the afternoon and I was caught in the rain while doing inspection. Sweat, rain and air-cond (car) is an evil. I got cold and a little bit of fever for this past 2 days.

Yesterday my grandma came to KL and I was so happy. Alas, the seasoned-hand is here to help me with my illness. I asked her to scrape my back. Well, this is a traditional chinese technique to cure fever, cold, bodyache and etc. Its called gua sha (mandarin).

Just now around 7.00pm, I asked grandma to gua sha and I’m now so refreshed. No more fever. The flu is gone and my nostril dried up and I have my fingers busy digging it.

Things you need for gua sha: A chinese soup spoon made of clay. Some saltwater ( dont make it so salty) - half a smallbowl of water + a few pinches of salt. Alternatively, you can use some oil in replace for the saltwater. Actually, the correct way is to use oil. Haha. Here, the saltwater/oil act as the lubricant and at the same time the medicine. The spoon is just a tool. You can also use a coin. But preferably something with a blunt edge.

This technique is very very effective if you want quick relief. Trust me. Scrape your back, backbone, shoulder blade, clavicle-collar bone, cervical spine-neck, and chest. My dad said this is how the Viet Congs survived in the underground tunnels when they were ill.

Check it out, folks.

Something very unfortunate happened to my hommy, Lee. His car was stolen today… maybe yesterday night. I don’t know. And the investigating officer (sergeant) had indicated that he want some tea-money from him…. so that everything will be smooth. Thats life in Malaysia.

Again… again at karaoke with a bunch of chinese-singing people. why
im here u may ask.. hmm, maybe because i just like to out with friends
but ended up in RedBox The Curve after dinner. Dont feel like going
home so early as there’s no internet for quite some time to come.
Fuck. Fuck Telekom. They said they are exercising some infrastructure
upgrade. They should at least have some backup bandwidth. I dont mind
if it is slow like dial-up. Geez.

So, me waiting for my turn for my song which is about 10-20 songs
away. I’m listening songs i’ve heard but dont know how to sing. Some
even never heard of save the singing part. Waiting for my Speed of
Sound. Gotta emulate Chris Martin after a few pint of inspiration
beverage. Ok folks. First, i wanna get a nap. Ciao.
