I just want to make a short post here so people could benefit if they wanted to know how much is the ATM withdrawal charges.


I'm currently in Erlangen, Germany and I have activated Overseas ATM Withdrawal via CIMB Clicks. I went to an ATM here which has the CIRRUS logo and proceeded to withdraw EUR20 (just for demonstration) and here are the charges shown on CIMB Clicks:


Overseas withdrawal fee = RM 10
GST for the fee = 0.06 x RM 10 = RM 0.60
Withdrawal amount = EUR 20 = RM 85.98 (exchange rate would be 4.299)



Leng Lui

I always have different opinion with Elaine when coming to determining whether a girl is pretty(lenglui). Obviously, we have different tastes but I think mine is better. Elaine will disagree but let you readers decide. For me, lengluis are like..

1. Joey Wong (王祖贤)

Born: 1967
Quan's remarks: Classical lenglui that was a lenglui back in late 80s, still considered lenglui by today's standards, and foresee will be the same in the near future.

2. Vivian Hsu (徐若瑄)
Born: 1975
Quan's remarks: No guy in this world will deny that she is a lenglui. You will hope that she was the girl next door. Totally leng and very talented in music too. Lyricist.

3. Fala Chen (陳法拉)

Born: 1982
Quan's remarks: Oh my god..those killer dimples!

4. Belinda Chee

Born: 1982
Quan's remarks: Local lenglui! Hooked on to her when she hosted shows on 8tv. Already married and expecting first child.

5. Ong Ching Yee (王菁忆)
Born: 1982
Quan's remarks: Local lenglui again! She hosts the best mandarin news ever! Totally sweet looking and perform so well when anchoring the news. Wished she'd read the news to me everyday. And, she's from the same university as mine but I never knew her. FML! Already married.

p/s: 1982 PRODUCE SO MANY LENGLUIS?!? KENG!!!

Till we meet again,

VERY GOOD! GUYS, REMEMBER:
Type OUT from the respective mobile number and send it to 1994

Wah, super attracted to this 8tv mandarin news newscaster --- SUPER CUTIE!







If managed to get home before 8pm sure hope she'll be the newscaster for the nite..hehe.

Some facts about her:
Ong holds a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Industrial Engineering) degree from University Technology of Malaysia. “During my industrial training, I realised an engineer’s life was not what I wanted so, I gave newscasting a try. Ong, who hails from Butterworth and has two younger sisters, likes to read, dance and swim, but says she rarely has time for that now.

OMFG...UTM!!! WHICH BATCH?!?


Wah..super cute for a newscaster..syiok!

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of update but since coming back from Finland, i hadn't had anytime to rest!!!


Was in Bintulu for a week and will be going to the States the week after next week for a week. (<-- four "week" word in a sentence, how about that)

Ok, so to go to the US of A i need to apply for a visa. In one of the forms(of so many f**king forms), it's stated "list all education institutions and contact number". Well, fine. At least I thought it was easy to obtain these infos. But heck, I couldn't find the phone number of my alma mater - SMK La Salle Klang!

Couldn't google it, not in the school magazine(to my amazement!), and not even in the sijil berhenti sekolah oh. In the end berjaya found it here.

To others out there searching this as well(haha, god knows why u need it), its:
Tel: 03-33717469
Fax: 03-33736950

p/s: I did not actually call to verify whether the number is still  active.

"Princess Aiko"

Heya! Next Friday going to touchdown in Malaysia. Can't wait!

Received an email from Phang yesterday. The title was "Princess Aiko of Japan".
I really like to read Phang's forwarded emails because they are always very delightful/fei/pat!

And so i was reading the content of this mail which "supposedly" contain pictures of the first child of Their Imperial Highnesses Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako. Then half way I thought, "Wait a minute, Princess Aiko is look like this meh?" So as usual, i went to seek my great sifu - Google and "he" kinda shown me some of the Princess Aiko's photos that "he" owns. AHA, i guess Phang's email was fake.

Nevertheless, the girl in the pictures was so CUTE that i selected 3 photos to be shown here. I really like children..especially cute ones! Hahaha..
Here you go..


"Mama, see see, I am doggie.."


"Erm, I'll have what mama is having..it looks yummy!"


"Mama, you sure this is cola? Coz I'm feeling dizzy.."

OMFG, SO CUTE!

Hey there, it's the weekend again! I'm just back from an adventure i must say. Cycling in the snow for 30km! Maybe more about that in coming posts.

Today we are going to talk about living standard in this place that i have already stayed for 3 weeks now. 2 more weeks and i'll be back to MY. This place is a little town in Finland called Vaasa. Let's see photos!


A super small hotel room, one nite = 90EUR


A complete apartment(2 rooms, kitchen, sauna) rental, one day = 50+EUR


A Pepsi = 1.5 to 2EUR
Note: All shops and restaurants sell soft drinks in bottle forms only! No cans.


Lipton Tea(50 pkt) = 3+EUR
Note: I consider this super cheap.


Laundry powder = 3+EUR


Microwavable frozen pizza = 3+EUR


A huge nice pizza from a pizza house = 6EUR
Note: This is like the cheapest food here. The next is McD.


A complete meal from HesBurger(local version of McD) = 7+EUR


Fly lice and olen jus in a chinese restaurant = 10EUR
Note: Chinese food expensive!


Nice western meal complete with a beer = 20EUR


A cider = 5EUR
Note: Cider is now my favourite beer!


Bicycle rental for a day = 5EUR


Going to a ice hockey game(standing, no seat) = 14EUR
Note: It was a bit more expensive because it was the final.


Going to the toilet in McD = 1EUR!
Note: I completely cannot understand why there is a need to pay to pee. Not only here but everywhere else.

Do you know living standard in other places? Leave a comment.

On another note, let's see a photo of me n Elaine =P


She's still so cute and my eyes semakin sepet. -_-

Update:


Clubbing is like 6EUR for entry and 2EUR to hang your coat. Alcohol not included.

Paria SAMAN

Due to some reasons, it prompted me to check out if i had any police summons. So i used the website below for this purpose:

https://www.rilek.com.my/pdrm/IPC/PDRM_SummonsInq.jsp

VERY SURPRISINGLY(as i think i'm quite a guai driver who obeys the law), i had one summon!
The details are something like this:

Date of offence: 22/01/2006
Time of offence: 00:07am
Location of offence: Johor Bahru
Offence: Traffic Obstruction
Fine(b4 discount): RM300
Fine(after discount): RM70

WTF is this?!? I kena like almost 2 years ago. In JB, DURING THE FREAKING MIDNIGHT?!?

Well, it's impossible i'll know i kena ma. I din c any paper on my windsreen, no summon mailed to me, etc. Then is how leh?

This is where my blog comes in.

Guess where was I that time?

Made, then it all came back to me. That was like my virgin outing to a club. The place was packed. We couldn't find any parking so decided to park at road side. There was this guy there who said, "Can park wan. Pay rm5. We oredi pay kopi lui to the police. No worries wan." You can guess the story from here on...

I guess he must have removed the summon paper from my(and many others parking at the roadside that nite) windscreen in the order to show his "integrity". Cheebye betul.

Then I told Uncle Vernon about it. Cipet, he oso kena. How unfortunate are we? We(some innocent beings), just wanted to have a nice time~~~

Guess I know what u'll do now. Fucking go to the website to check if u oso kena! Haha. While you're at that, might as well check for JPJ summons oso lor. Refer below for quick links. (JPJ link sponsored by Uncle Vernon):

PDRM SUMMON
(The ppl who are issuing summons instead of catching criminals)


JPJ SUMMON
(These ppl are much better. Never do stupid 3-to-1-lane road blocks)

to all Malaysians in Malaysia and especially to Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor(SMS) in ISS! Malaysia and Malaysian Ringgit BOLEH!

It's been such a long time since i blogged. Can't blame la. My life so uneventful(not to say it's a bad thing) lately that i have nothing much to share. This raya oso din go anywhere, teman family go gai-gai nia. Monday one extra day holiday nia. Well, it's better than none at all. How bout u guys? Got take leave go anywhere holiday?

So how's everyone lately? Recently still got meet up with guys like Vern, CheeSon, Lowkei, Kelvin, PeiLi..and the norms like IanCing, YewFatt, and JoshuaNg(ahem), so know that they are doing fine. Others memang quite long time din c d. Just kadang-kala receive emails from SueiHuey with a whole bunch of forwarded chats(haha!) using company email addresses. Memang gaya. Okla, nowdays working d all must use company email forward mails issit? Anyway, me n elaine working for hotmail(sometimes for yahoo! oso), so u see our current address up there is not error oh..hehe.

HEROES and Prison Break is back with new seasons. Waiting for LOST though. Prison Break still ok, but HEROES feel like nothing much new nia. "Save the Cheerleader, save the World". So the world is saved d..wat now? Got watch Naruto oso. Still sibeh slow the story progress. Paria wan. Sakura n the old lady fight the Scorpion fellar oso need so many episodes.

Haih..seriously feel so nothing to write about. Last time memang semangat. Cincai sit down 10 minutes oso can type sibeh alot. Now almost half hour d type like this nia. 1:34am d. I better go read my Harry Potter. Haha..yeah..haven't finish ler. Now 400+ pages nia. But kanchiong d. Read until Harry n gang baru breakout from Gringotts. Syiok!

Anyway, Jay's new album..



is scheduled to be released on a very meaningful date this year. Find out when. =P

UPDATED(23/07/07 11:22PM) : As predicted. Money is more important than face. Small Potatoes decide to continue sell potter books.

Have u gotten ur 'HAPPY' POTTER yet?


Harry Potter - and the Deathly Hallows(<-- whatever that is)

Unless u're the kind who disconnects from the world(i.e. Elaine..haha), u should know about this raging price war for the book between some book stores and some hypermarts(<-- wtf, hypermarts sell books too?!?). The hypermarts are selling the book at rm69.90 whereas in the bookstores u need pay rm109.90 for one. Ngiama!!! How can like this? So the story is berry berry simple wan. I expren to u all..

///TheStory_Start///

Characters
Penguin : Books supplier
Popular, MPH, and Times (now known as 'Small Potatoes') : Book store chains in Malaysia
Carrefour and Tesco (now known as 'Big Brothers') : Hypermart chains in Malaysia

Scenario
Penguin : Ok, i tell u both hor..I is very simple guy. I sell the books to u all at this price and i recommend the "recommended retail price" u all sell to ur customers is rm109.90. U all wan how sell how sell la. Dun kacau me.
Small Potatoes : Ok lor.
Big Brothers : Ok lor.

Among Small Potatoes : Wah, syiok d la. Sell at this price. Confirm earn until piggy bank oso can't masuk coin anymore.

Among Big Brothers : Erm, i feel hor, we can sell the books at a cheaper price. Then we can attract other ppl to our store then we can earn when they buy other stuffs oso. Some sort like promotion la.

One day b4 official release
Big Brothers : Wei wei, jualan murah wei. Other ppl sell 109, we sell 69 wei! Come get ur copies 2ml.

Small Potatoes terkejut now. The bincang among themselves then come out joined statement.

Small Potatoes : To show our "solidarity of the bookstore chains in maintaining our integrity", we have chosen not to sell the books 2ml to protest against the “indiscriminate price discount".

///TheStory_End///

Let us analyize TheStory.
Now the book should be should sell at rm109. Now hypermart give discount sell at 69. Book stores decide to "maintain their integrity" so they won't sell the book. WAT THE FUCK?!?

So by earning ur loyal customers money by a higher margin u are "maintaining ur integrity"? Means u memang suppose tiok ur customers issit? Wah piang, i is sibeh tak faham when i read the words in the newspaper. Thought maybe is some language error or something. But no.

So the official release date(21st July 2007) came and gone. The Small Potatoes did did not sell the books(although pre-oder ppl can still get their copies), and the Big Brothers did sell at rm69.90.

WHAT I DID:
Bought a copy at rm69.90 at the convenient Tesco near my house and went to Popular(not so near my house) to refund my rm50.00 deposit. Well, 109-69 = rm40. It's damn worth it k. Furthermore, confirm dowan let paria ppl tiok my money. Hard earned money okay. 1st harry potter book bought with own money. Haha.

p/s : According to this, the Small Potatoes will discuss 2ml wat are their future actions wor. And the worst sceneario would be to return their books to the publisher.

WHAT I THINK:
Aiyar, i think they sure decide continue sell the books wan la. Integrity shit all. And if they decide to return the books, I think Penguin will be more than happy to accept them(thus forfeiting their down payment(<-- this one i come up myself wan..haha)) and sell the quantity to the Big Brothers. Then the Big Bros maybe now mark-up abit la..say rm89 sell to customers..haha.

Wah syiok, i sibeh know how to predict this predict that. Actually i damn hate ppl like this. Dunno the truth talk loud loud. Haih, i'm beginning to hate myself. Die. =(

Soda Green

Walaneh, time passes really fast can? Oredi work for 3 weeks d..fuh. Sure is tanpa disedari then work one year d..haha.
