If you've been watching the live World Cup games on Astro, you must have seen this ad.



I dono man, looks damn suggestive to me...

Unmasked!

One of the most remarkable plots unfolded in comic Kingdom when in Issue #2 of Marvel's Civil War, Spider Man reveals his secret identity to the world!

It started in the pages of "Civil War". In the aftermath of a tragedy in Connecticut, in which a band of reality TV heroes were unable to prevent the villain Nitro from killing an entire elementary school full of children and parts of the surrounding community, the U.S. government propelled forward the Superhuman Registration Act requiring the superhero community to register themselves as living weapons of mass destruction, and reveal their identities.

The act was supported by Tony Stark,who became the leader of the Pro-Registration side. The superheroic community was split between registering or retaining a secret identity and becoming an outlaw. Leading the opposition to the act was Captain America, in defense of heroes' right to privacy.

To support Iron Man, and perhaps obtain the elusive respect of the public by compliance with the Act, Spider-Man made the difficult decision (with support from May and Mary Jane) to reveal his identity to the world during a press conference!



I'm like, wah lan eh... this is comic history man. Imagine the consequences. The green goblin, vulture, sandman all knowing who to target now!

Another one bites the dust

I was chatting with another financial services partner in my old firm and I found out that HE has tendered and his last day is Aug 31! Merdeka!

Conned!

When I got back from Mexico, I was nicely surprised when my wife told me about the improvements my son made in school. 6 months ago, he was struggling with "ting sieh" or the Chinese equivalent of spelling. He's a "banana boy" and when my wife and I made the decision to put him in a Chinese school, it was quite a struggle for him. But he's now enjoying Chinese and even enjoys torturing himself with the stackloads of homework.

So when I got back and he told me he got a free ticket for this Lantern Show in Bukit Jalil, I thought, what the heck, bring him lah.. let him enjoy.

Nahia man... that was one big con job.

Firstly, whilst my son's entry was free, adults had to pay Five bucks each. Now, the flipping ticket had pictures of ferris wheels, great looking facades etc. When we got there, basket, that place looked like a pasar malam man. At the entrance, to the left, there was a guy frying char kueh teow for RM5. To my right, there was a malay stall selling nasi lemak.

Then when you walk in, you get
- one stall with a woman offering to "get rid of tahi lalat on your body"
- one stall selling mobile phone accessories
- one stall selling cheap China toys (the rubber yoyo thing with the spiky ball like look and 2 stick on eyeballs)
- a row of donald ducks, mickey mouse, goofy rides (the one that a five year old can sit on and the ride goes up and down, up and down, with the tune of macarena blasting)

I'm like.. WTF man... where's the "lanterns"?

Ada..... there was one big dragon made up of plates and saucers. There was a huge eagle representing the Langkawi Eagle made of CDs. There was this "thousand hand buddha". There was one or two more displays also lah.

Worth the RM5? No way! Like I said, it was like paying to visit a pasar malam man. Basket!

Argentina 2 - Mexico 1

I'm back in KL after 2 weeks of travelling. Just watched that wonder goal from Maxi Rodriguez beating Mexico in Round 2 of the world cup. I can tell u, it's a good feeling man.

Why? Wah lao eh, I tell u these IBM Mexico fellas. Damn frust man.

Like that SQL Server clustering fiasco... nahia man... the whole of last week, my guys kena taruh by the Corporate Systems folks because of IBM's incompetence.

I'm now not trusting them in anything I ask them to do. Everything also I ask them for a freaking screen shot.

Then just the last day before I left New York, I found out that these dumb ass jokers did not set up the hardware load balancing. Nahia man. Of course I kena taruh like shit.

So no load balancers, no choice, Brazil going live in the data centre, we had to do some repointing of the DNS entries to one of the servers in the server farm instead of the virtual IP. That also they dono how to do.

Ask them to set up SFTP (secure FTP), I ask for the screen shot to show evidence, the joker send a screen shot of the normal Microsoft FTP client. I'm like, wah liao eh... they shd know secure FTP and FTP different mah (101: different ports).

Really beh tahan.

So u can understand why I was rooting for Argentina.

Tonite? Holland!

Brazil

Wah lan.. here in New York on a weekend, sitting down watching Brazil play Australia whilst there's troubleshooting going on in Mexico on the freaking firewall...

And I'm watching this match on tv where there's live cross over to Brazil. Man, check out the women on tv!

Mexico

I am now in Mexico City. Freak man. Flew all the way here to QA a data centre infra build and these Mexican jokers are... talk to them, they say "SQL Server Cluster ok!".

Then we start inspecting the server and we find that there is not menu item for SQL Enterprise Manager. Nahia! Not installed man.

Really vomit blood man.

Degrading

Have any of you taken the LRT to KLCC? You know that tunnel connecting the LRT to KLCC? Why are there so many fellows there trying to sell you some shit, take surveys or ask you to donate to some bizarre organisation?

It's so degrading.

Imagine, our KLCC is the pride of Malaysia. But the tunnel leading from a public transportation to KLCC leaves such a bad taste to any passenger.

I'm truly disgusted.

Voodoo

Next week, I have to go to Mexico.

And that f*cking Mexican bitch at the Mexican embassy is such a pain in the butt.

I went there once. First she bitched that my letter was not addressed to the embassy. Chow Chee Bai! I had to then frantically contact my Mexican friends (who all switched off their cells, cause they were partying).

1 day wasted.

Then I went on the 2nd day. She f*cking complained that my letter needs to come from Malaysia! F*cking bitch! Where I work, there's no legal entity in Malaysia so I got a letter from the USA stating that "Karipap works for XXX and is based in Malaysia"

That also cannot. I cursed and put voodoo on her 50 generations, that Mexican bitch.

I am now sitting in the contracting company whilst we conjure out a letter.

I hope my 3rd trip to the f*cking embassy is successful.

Curse you, you bitch!

Fail

This is the 2nd week of the school holidays.

Just before the holidays, my son, the standards 1 kid, went thru his first round of school exams. No joke.

I was quite dejected when he came back and he showed me that his Bahasa Malaysia, he could only get 41%. There and then, I was thinking...
- i've been a bad father
- i shd have spent more time with him
- that's it, out goes the PS2
- I shd quit my job and dedicate myself to his studies
etc...

Never have I felt so dejected and so lost at fatherhood.

Then my wife found out that Johnny down the road got 47%, Tommy from row 3 got 44% and the passing mark was 40%!

HAHAHAHA.. what a relief!

And that little joker, his Chinese subjects all 70+ or 80+ % His English exam so so... damn bizarre... must be Chinese school syndrome!
