Home Sweet Home

This is the place where I spend from 1980 until now. I have been living there for 27 years. The house is small but tons of memorable moments are filling inside the house.

UrbanLife NTV7

Went to Kinta City, Ipoh, Saturday for some window shopping. There was an UrbanLife road show by NTV 7 and streamyx. In addition, there had some shows and audition for the news broadcaster.

The Cactus .. after 2 months

This is the cactus after 2 months I brought back from Cameron Highlands. It still growing and it look nice.

I just wonder, how is KKJM's cactus now.

New Court again ... Leakage....

The spanking-new court complex has been hit by calamity again, the headlines declare. This time, a burst pipe end cap caused flooding.

A couple of weeks ago, it was the air-conditioning and power supply. Earlier, ceiling panels collapsed and cracks appeared at the Magistrate's Court area.


All this, plus the recent problems at Parliament House and the forced closure of the Immigration Dept HQ in Putrajaya makes one wonder what is going on here.

The world second largest court complex, it should be the proudness of Malaysia.

However, when it come to the inner structure, it is a shocking condition for us.




And recently, water leakage in the court complex's cafe.


I am speechles when I saw these pictures in newspaper.

Hot story in Malaysia

This was quote from the star newspaper:

Public quarrel over Parliament repairs unacceptable, PM tells Samy

By SA’ODAH ELIAS

TOKYO: Just do it – that’s what Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi told Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu over the maintenance of Parliament House, which has a leaking roof and faulty wiring.

Pointing out that a public quarrel between two government organisations over who should be maintaining the august House was unacceptable, Abdullah said whoever was responsible must execute their duties and take action when needed.

“Don’t wait to be told, (if) that is your responsibility, just do it,” Abdullah told Malaysian journalists covering his five-day state visit to Japan yesterday.

Abdullah, who had earlier met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, was asked to comment on Samy Vellu’s claim on Saturday that the Public Works Department, which is under his ministry, was not responsible for maintaining Parliament House.

Samy Vellu was quoted as saying that the maintenance had all along been under Parliament itself and not the PWD, adding that the department could not interfere as Parliament was independent and could not be ordered around.

The 44-year-old building, which was renovated two years ago at a cost of RM90mil, suffered from, among others, cracks and water seepage on the concrete roof, clogged gutters, defective waterproofing and sewerage pipe leaks at VIP and other toilets.

Abdullah said he had already told Samy Vellu that he would have to oversee all works relating to the maintenance of public buildings.

“So stop the public quarrel over the matter,” said Abdullah. “It is shameful that government departments have to quarrel over their respective responsibilities.

“Isn’t it better if departments cooperate with each other?

Lamenting the lack of maintenance culture, the Prime Minister said Malaysians should try to emulate the Japanese who are highly disciplined and have a high sense of civic consciousness.

“Look at how they queue. Irrespective of how long the queue is, and there is obviously a space where they can do it, they never jump queue. This is something that we can learn from,” he said.

Last few weeks were the debate in the quality issue of the goverment's building. Millions of construction work but still end with some defectivity. This is very disappointing news for the Malaysian since the building is the symbol of justice in Malaysia.

Talking about building, this week come another famous two government servants that kissed each others in the lift. Their intimate relationship have been exposed through the security CCTV. I think this will shock the whole nation. I just wonder how they can handle all those rumors if their colleagues see the clip.

Sunday Hangout

Today, I ask KKJM to go for the Putra Height Fiesta and my friend's boutique opening ceremony. Putra Height Fiesta is ana event that attract people to visit their SIME DARBY new housing development in Putra Heights. Before I purchase the Kemuning Utama's house, I have consider for the this project. However, I never ever have changes to go to their sale office in Putra Height although the world "PUTRA HEIGHTS" are clearly seem from the Puchong. This is because I don't know how to reach there.

Today by the help of KKJM, I able to go there and have for a look. The housing area is a a bit far in from the main access road. The township is still in development. The main purpose I go there is to check for the idea of the interior design for my new house that will be finished in 2 years. In addition, I thought they have free food and tons of free goodies to give away.

However, as expected by KKJM, there is no free food or any interior-designed show house. The show house is just the empty building itself.

Some activities are going on there, but not so attractive.








I went to check for the show house. The design is quite different, since the land build up is larger. Hence you can design with a court yard or void embedded in the house. I did find something fancy about the switches. The switches are stylish but a bit weired in the orientation. My colleague who sit beside me, has changed all the normal switches to this type of square modern switches in his new house in which it is still in renovation progress.

Friends

Found this photo in my friend's friendster site. This photo was taken 2 years ago during the Chinese New Year.

Two years ago, and two years after, I feel I have changed a lot and experienced a lot. Many things happen within these two years. Two years ago, I never imagine I can buy a house, but now, finally I buy one house. Two years ago my life was a bit black and white in term of relationship, but two years after, there is colour painted in my relationship experience. Things keep on changing.

I still remember that day, we gathered and very appreciated the time we had. Everyone of us seems very busy and can only to have chances to meet during Chinese New Year.

We smoked and talked, never ended. That night was long and memorable to me.

Feel uneasy

Today I received my credit card statement. I found that I forgot to pay the RM159.48 in my master card last month. In this month, the bank charge me RM5 for late payment.

Let's say, the interest calculated is y* (i/12) = RM 5.00 (late charge)

In my case, the interest that charge to calculate to Rm5.00 base on my remaining is 5*12/y. The calculated interest is 37.62 % p.a

In another case, I forgot to pay RM 10.00 in one month. Then they charge me RM5.0 on the late charge. The interest for this is 600% p.a.

They purposely have the late payment charge on it. To me, who is always forget, I think the bank can get more money from it. Just imagine, the late payment is higher that the 18%p.a interest rate if the due amount is less than RM333.33. Hence, minimum late payment of RM5.00 seems unfair to consumer and will be fair if calculated base on the daily rest interest.

If only the daily rest interest is apply on the late payment amount, the recalculated late payment charge will be:

a. If RM 159.58, then the late payment charge is RM 2.361 (If late 30 days)
b. If RM 10.00, then the late payment charge is RM 0.148 (If late 30 days)

See the different?

Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time

I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better

I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better

I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever

Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Taylor Hicks - Dream Myself Awake

I’ve been waiting
I’ve been aching
Now you’re fading out of reach
I was angry
Now I’m sorry
Have mercy over me

Because a life without love would only be a living hell
I don’t wanna be alone and I don’t want no one else
So I dream myself awake
And I tear myself to pieces
I’ve had more than I can take
But I just don’t see me leaving
Do me wrong
Do me right
Do me anyway you want tonight
I can’t get enough of you baby
I can’t get enough of you baby

I remember back when we were babies
Young crazies
And you made my soul complete
Yeah you saved me
Now you hate me
And our love won’t doubt on me

Because life without love is gonna be a living hell
I don’t wanna be alone and I don’t want no one else
So I dream myself awake
And I tear myself to pieces
I’ve had more than I can take
But I just don’t see me leaving
Do me wrong
Do me right
Do me anyway you want tonight
I can’t get enough of you baby
I can’t get enough of you baby
I can’t get enough of you
I can’t get enough of you
I can’t get you out of my mind

So I dream myself awake
And I tear myself to pieces
I’ve had more than I can take
But I just don’t see me leaving
Do me wrong
Do me right
Do me anyway you want tonight
Any way you want tonight
I can’t get enough of you baby
I can’t get enough of you baby
I can’t get enough of you baby
I can’t get enough of you baby

Norton 360 - New software to protect your computer

After work, I went to buy this Norton 360 software since my NIS 2005 will be expiring soon. Before I bought, I told my friends that I will buy the original software for the Norton product. All seems looking at me strangely, since most computer users in Malaysia will use the pirated software or the freeware from the Internet.

However, since I really enjoy using Norton for the past 18 Months, I think I would like to continue and used their protection software.

This Norton 360 cost me for RM 289. This software is editors choice for ZDNet and PC Magazine.

I had installed this software in my computer and also my sister computer. This software is cover up for 3 households PC.

Wonderful day to work - Day before Labour Day

Yesterday, was the most relax working day this year. Since today and tomorrow will be Malaysia Public Holidays, most people take leave yesterday. This including my manager.

Yesterday, when I work, I feel so free and easy. No one call you, no one pushing you for update and no one distract you from another tasks. It made me feel concentrate and focus in my job.

I also went off from work earlier. Although the working hours were short, but I still able to do more than usual. Sometime, when people not in pushed, he or she can perform higher productivity. I just wonder why some managers could not understand this rule. Micromanaging and multitasking will make the employees to work longer but yet could not come out a quality work.

I felt so happy. I have more time to shop, and even finished my dinner when the sun was still hanging in the west side of the sky.

I really enjoyed the day.
