Nadia 2 - Bandar Puteri Puchong

Today went to check out the show house in the Nadia 2, Bandar Puteri Puchong. It build on the higher land area. That's mean, you can see the bird view of Puchong from this house area.

Nadia 2 is located within the freehold residential encalve of Puteri 11, Bandar Puteri Puchong. It built on elevated land, and can enjoy the nice panoramas of the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve and Puchong below.

However, I am phobia to high land. I don't like to live such an elevated land. May be I think too much.


Nice view from the Nadia 2.

E! is finally in Malaysia

Astro will add 9 more channels. The complete channels that will be added can be found by click here. One of the channel is E! Channel.

I used to watch the E! Channel when I was in US. This channel is full of entertainment and tons of gossip and hidden story can be found from this channel. However, I think the E! channel will be a bit different than the US version since from the web, I find that this channel is complemented by E! Online, VOD, The Vine, wireless, podcasting and radio.

However, I am so happy to know it. Let's more gossip!!!

Point Blanc - Ipoh Mali



This is the MTV from Point Blanc's song "Ipoh Mali". "Ipoh Mali" is the Malay words of "Ipoh Mari", where this mean "from Ipoh".

I am from Ipoh too. However, after checking with the MTV, feel so uneasy with it. As a Malaysian, why the artists or singers like to follow the hip-hop style in Western Country? Don't we have our own culture?

From the MTV, it seems that all the Ipoh people like to dye hair, wear hip-hop style dress, and always like to shake their hands and say, "Whassup, whassup". I really not appreciate this song since this is not our culture.

Does Tattoo make you special? Does wearing the extra big clothes and say "whassup whassup" make you like extra handsome or cool?

Malaysian Driver ...

KUALA LUMPUR: A motorcyclist went on a rampage and smashed the window of a car which had earlier grazed his motorcycle along the Federal Highway in front of the Angkasapuri complex yesterday.

The irony is that he was in the wrong as he was supposed to use the motorcycle lane.

The man’s rage was captured by New Straits Times photographer Zulkarnain Ahmad Tajuddin, 42, who was heading for an assignment in Sungei Way.

In the 2.30pm incident, a Toyota Corolla had apparently grazed the motorcycle on the right-most lane of the highway.

The motorcyclist, believed to be in his 40s, blocked the car using his motorcycle and started to hurl abuse at the driver.
The terrified and lone driver locked the doors and was seen putting his palms together, asking for forgiveness.

It failed to pacify the motorcyclist, who took off his helmet before using it to smash the car’s rear window.

He then rode off towards Petaling Jaya.

The incident, which lasted for five minutes, caused a traffic jam on both sides of the highway.

Bandar Kinrara Phase 9A4 - Hot like cake


Can't believe that Bandar Kinrara New Launching phase 9A4, is too hot too many people come and get the unit. I never see this before for a new launch and the sale is unbelievable high and popular.

I feel happy since I have booked Kemuning Utama last week. If I target for Bukit Kinrara, I think I could not get the good house number in this launch.

People in KL seems very crazy in buying properties at the good location. I think that of we never do study in properties, I think we will be given the choice of houses that not as popular in number or direction.

Some Candid Shot

My colleague is so crazy to being photographed.

My colleague like to make funny of my face.

Some Thoughts

Sometimes I think my work is like an athlete who try his best to get the gold medal in the Olympics. You must not only strong, but you must superb strong in order to beat the enemy easily. During the game, you cannot make mistake. A mistake is so costy that can break your dream to become an Olympics champion.

However, I not aims to get gold in Olympics. I prefer to enjoy the games, and not pushing myself to take the gold. Forcing myself to do much, is like the water leak from the full-filling water bottle.

Unfortunately, in the real world, only the gold medal winner will have tremendous awards, those who have silver or bronze, or even some breakthrough in the game records but not in the medal standings, are usually less awarded although the hard work or time they have been spend to achieve the goals.

Highway link from Kemuning to Federal Highway

KUALA LUMPUR: A new RM600mil highway project under the 9th Malaysia Plan to link the Kesas Kota Kemuning Interchange with the Federal Highway is set to roll out by next year.

Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, who witnessed the signing ceremony between the Government and concessionaire Projek Lintasan Shah Alam Sdn Bhd (PLSA) yesterday, said it would bring socio-economic benefit to Shah Alam.

“Shah Alam and Kota Kemuning have both grown beyond expectations. With this highway, the standard of life of residents will improve,” Samy Vellu said.

The 14.7km highway will be built and managed by PLSA, which is 90% owned by Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas), the concessionaire for the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur elevated highway.

According to Prolintas CEO Zainudin A. Kadir, construction work on the new highway will begin in July 2007 and the highway should be completed by 2010.

Zainudin said a pre-qualification notice would be put out today to invite interested parties, and tenders would be awarded in June.

Samy Vellu said the concession agreement would be for 40 years and the highway would be a three-lane, dual carriageway with six interchanges and a new bridge over the Klang River.

“The highway will start at the existing Kesas Kota Kemuning Interchange and traverse north-east towards the existing Federal Highway Route 2 interchange (Shah Alam exit) with two toll plazas at Alam Impian and Seri Muda,” he said.

He added that the highway would pass Jalan Bukit Kemuning, Jalan Jitu, Jalan Padu, Jalan Mantap, Bulatan Jubli Perak, Jalan Parang and Bulatan Selangor.

PLSA chairman Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman said the highway would also provide an alternative route for those heading to the Kesas highway from Shah Alam.

"To put it simply, it will reduce travel time from 30 minutes to seven minutes during peak hours.”

Between colleague and friend

When in work, sometime it is hard to differentiate between colleague and friend. When we work together for long time, the relationship will upgrade from colleague to friend.

However, issue occurs when problem in work happen. Sometime we need to act as following the company rules and but the friendship aside. This usually will make a lot of misunderstanding since we seems not supporting our friends.

Or it will be good that we keep a distance with our colleague. It will make life more easier. However, we are not working alone. This is the beauty of human relationship in the world.

Qingming Festival 清明

清明时节雨纷纷
路上行人欲断魂
借问酒家何处有
牧童遥指杏花村

Tomb Sweeping Day and Clear Brightness Festival are the most common English translations of Qingming Festival.

For the Chinese, it is a day to remember and honour one's ancestors. Young and old pray before the ancestors, sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, chopsticks, (joss) paper accessories, and/or libation to the ancestors. The rites are very important to most Chinese and especially farmers.


This year, we went to sweep tomb for my father. My sister, my uncles and my aunties, together with me and my mother, were going to pray for my father. As a traditional, we bring along the food or drink that is the favorite to the death during the life time. After praying, we then burnt the paper make money, houses, mahjong, passport, houses, watches, clothes, shoes, and the other necessaries. Burning those things are as a believe that the death person can receive them in their worlds.


Some of the family members are also firing the fire crackers. This as an act to ask for goodness and wealth for the next generation.

KKJM's Cactus


KKJM said that he had many cactus last time. He used to plant cactus in the house. That day he overbought the cactus and I have the rare chances or opportunity in a life time to get this cactus.

I brought this back to my sister's house, she didn't like it. May be influence by Lilian Too's feng sui. Hence, brought to office, but found it hard since we implement clean desk policy, not green policy.

As a result, I brought back to Ipoh. With good weather and water in quality in Ipoh, this cactus will grow healthy.

Tressure Hunts.... Part I

It has been a big day for us during the 31st of March in which our company organized the 2007 Treasure Hunt. My colleagues and I joined this competition and we are named as group 06. Our team name was Te A Mo, in which in Spanish "I Love You". I choice this name since we love all the competitors and showed that we have the spirit of competition in the race.


During the race, my friend and I were the problem solver, that mean we check the answer, write the answer, read the question and check dictionary. All the way to Simpang Pulai Rest area, where those the journey of the treasure hunt, it was not a good job for both of us. We are so tired during the race. In addition, we need to check books and dictionary in the car moving condition, it was so dizzy to us.



Our "Te A Mo" team, or "I Love You" team, ended the competition by passing the answer and question to the marshal in the Simpang Pulai Rest area. The next stop will be the Cameron Highland, in which all the competitors will stay a night there. About 35 teams joining this competition, each team was about 3-4 persons. We all were staying in the Hotel Equotorial in Cameron Highland.


Our company has many departments, for our departments, we have two teams that joined this competition. The another teams, which leaded by KKJM, was the favorite to win. To me, I will be much suprise if they did not win. After handling the questions, we all went up to the hill and have our delayed lunch at the Fong Lum restaurant in Berinchang. Taste and price were reasonable.





That day KKJM brought the video camera. May be he knew he will win and need to capture down the moment where their team got the champion.


After checking in to the hotel, both teams of us, went to the surrounding market. To our surprise, too many strawberries and the by product of strawberries in the market. Besides that, we also saw many cactus in the market.




The result was announced during the dinner buffet. The buffet seems very nice, but it was not. I realized that we can not judge a book by its cover.





As expected, KKJM's team won the 1st prize. Each of them received a hamper plus a water filter. Our team, which lead by the "Eat God", could not get into the top placings. I think my team members were great, just that I am a bit of lagging behind and could not contribute so much. I totally clueless in the treasure finding, in which these caused us to lose.


After the ceremony, we all went out to night market, or we called "pasar malam" in local. I bought a clock that can illuminate with different colours for only RM10.00 with batteries included.




We all were tired that night. In my dream, I still dream of Strawberries ... I love this fruits very much ...
