Great minds think alike

Big Three

Like you guys, I do look forward to each and every birthday. But this time is different. For the last 29 birthdays, I anxiously wait for every single of them. The 30th big day is an exception.

But not to worry, this paranoia will be temporary!

ps: yup do wish me. nothing wrong with that hehe

pss: she sent me a card all the way from the uk =)

Hottest kodok around

Here are 10 airlines with hottest fly antendants.

10. Air France

They could very well follow the French ideal of passion over happiness.

9. Air New Zealand

Durex’s 2005 sex survey finds Kiwis even hornier than Americans.

8. All Nippon Airlines

ANA offers a line of anime-faced dolls wearing uniforms from the past and present — maybe they’re intended for the kids, maybe not. Either way, it makes the real stewardesses even hotter.

7. Cathay Pacific

Cathay Pacific stewardesses are equally adept at covering runways on a plane and onstage.

6. Gulf Air

Gulf Air offers its Sky Nanny service on select flights, giving you a great excuse to interact with the beauties.

5. Hooters Air

In the event of a water landing, they had their own flotation devices.

4. Qantas

The airline’s requirements of an “excellent level of health and fitness” and “natural, genuine, engaging, and confident personalities” ensure your continued presence in their seats.

3. Southwest

Genuinely great attitudes to go along with their looks.

2. Thai Airways International

The Thai Airways International requires its stewardesses to be single, Thai nationals. They are also required to be at least 5’2” with proportional weight. It’s worth the effort to fly Thai.

1. Virgin Atlantic

Virgin’s red skirts are tailored to show off figures rather well; certainly better than most uniforms we’ve seen. Most flights on Virgin are long. What makes them especially hot: Combine the name Virgin with hot women… your imagination will take care of the rest.

ps: 27 years, and still kicking hot at #1, virgin atlantic. awesome!

pss: no concorde nor a380 will beat this haha

psss: click this for more details

When a doctor talks about airplane

A380 wing dia besar, ada winglet. Triple seven panjang sangat, nampak macam it's not supposed to fly.

Concorde... Relax je.

This is it

Okay you lazy ass. Back to work!

ps: gonna miss the champions league matches tonight. erghhh

The power of the Shamal

I was reading this one article from Kennedy School. It was telling something about shamal. And I totally did not get what shamal was all about in-relation to this article. Anybody? Please enlighten me.

In Yemen, a leadership that belatedly came to realize the threat from al Qaeda and to partner with the U.S bla bla bla... What is highly likely is the close US-Yemeni cooperation of the last two years against Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) bla bla bla. Yemen was not a failed state. In the years ahead, until someone consolidates power, there is a significant chance that it could become one bla bla bla.

In Libya, for all that was undesirable about Qadhafi regime, including two decades of state sponsorship of terrorism and several attacks on Americans, in recent years the Libyan government had become a virulent enemy of al Qaeda. Qadhafi's secret police activity bla bla bla. As one knowledgeable observer told me this week, "the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood is pleased this time that the Americans and Europeans are bombing Arabs should give us pause bla bla bla.

In Egypt, weeks after the departure of Mubarak, who and what will replace him remains unclear. The senior military leadership, who bla bla bla. Some observers

have suggested that what we will see in Egypt may resemble the Islamic party rule in recent years in Turkey. There, the secular nature of the Turkish government has very gradually but steadily eroded bla bla bla.

The winds are still blowing the sand about, but we are beginning to be able to make out the contours of what the dunes may look like when the shamal is over.

ps: yup too heavy.sebab tu gua takleh absorb kot hahaha

pss: 2nd thought.okay pe.at least gua try kan?

psss: wiki pon tak jalan

Kumar, Aboo, roti canai, teh ais & I

Four days ago, Kumar celebrated his 30th birthday. He had his 1st meal at the age of 30 with us, Aboo and I in the wee morning at our normal joint. A roti canai and a teh ais. What a way to start being a 30. High five macha! Hope you had an awesome celebration. Happy Birthday...

ps: weekend ni is all about sepupu-sepapat cousin-cousin.sorang kat hospital sorang lagi kat college

157th Boat Race

The idea for a rowing race between the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge came from two friends - Charles Merivale, a student at Cambridge, and his Harrow school friend Charles Wordsworth (nephew of the poet William Wordsworth), who was at Oxford.

On 12 March 1829, Cambridge sent a challenge to Oxford and thus the tradition was born which has continued to the present day, where loser of the previous years' race challenges the opposition to a re-match. Oxford team is commonly known as Dark Blue where Cambridge's has a nick name of Light Blue.

The Modern Boat Race still runs along the same lines but has now become a major international sporting occasion drawing millions of viewers from around the world. On Race Day up to 250,000 spectator crowd the banks of the Thames from Putney to Mortlake to witness the action. My brothers and I was one of them who were watching by the Thames last year. This year BBC has made the race available via a live webcast throught it's web.

Oxford whom has won 8 out of 12 race since the turn of the century, yesterday, crossed the finish line by 4 lengths defeating Cambridge which has won the 2010 Race. Cambridge currently lead the series since 1829 by 80-76.

2011's Race Time, Oxford 17:32; Cambridge 17:44.

An unimaginable wave

Japan is one of the richest countries in world and one of the most technologically developed. It has centuries of experience of tsunamis and how to defend against them. Yet the wave that rolled over the coastal town of Otsuchi in the north east of Japan a few weeks ago devastated everything in its path. As Mure Dickie discovers, this wave was bigger than anything before.

iPad

By far, i think it is one of the best invention that has leap-frogged mankind to a different level. I do own one, I must say. And the iPad has changed how, we human socialized, or rather socializing. It really does. We talk to the people on the same table, less.

In some way, I'm a bit oldschool. Which make some of the thing to me, are better to be left how it was supposed to be; the traditional way. So if you agreed with what I have just say, iPad the is the greatest ever solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Thus, the result is spectacular.

Audi A1: An overpriced Volkswagen in a cocktail dress

All things considered, though, I would not buy the A1. It's nearly there but the nagging doubt that I'd seen overcharge for a Polo would, I think, spoil the enjoyment.

A statistic by the Australian Government

On average a woman speaks 7 millions word a year. Where men, only a million per annum. Today my Golf GTi turns 1 year old. She has to speak another 28 millions of words before the warranty expiry. Happy Birthday Girl!

Going home

To see mommy. Together with Francois. And eat all mommy's delicious food. Voila.

ps: i gonna make francois drive the whole 380km journey while i bebel like a girl LOL

Valuable shipment

Gua muda lagi

My expiry is at the end of February, every year.

Kerja gua perlukan gua untuk buat medical check-up untuk renew lesen so that gua boleh pergi kerja, legally. Macam Annual Practice Certificate untuk doctor, kot. Comparison yang lagi senang, driver lori/bas kena renew lesen untuk kerja.

Harini medical check-up gua. An annual thingy sampai gua umur 39 tahun. Bila gua cecah 40 tahun, it become a bi-annual affair. Bagus kan kerja gua? Ada marker untuk ingatkan yang lu dah tua. Ha ha ha...

ps: lu orang muda lagi tak? =P

pss: selamat menyambut hari kekasih kat sesapa yang celebrate. gua tak. kapish

iWish

I wish that Apple Inc. will release the update of Macbook Pro that-I've-waited-long-enough soon. I need a laptop. This one keep on crashing. I cannot tahan already. iPad? Tak cukup stim macam komputer lah...

Tak menang-menang jugak

ps: shanghai memang sejuk gila

pss: tengah malas

Overlooked

Okay cerita dia macam ni. Gua keja pagi harini. Gua pon bangun la pepagi buta nak siap-siap pi keja, belakang transport tak turn up. Area gua tinggal sekarang, geng-geng transport ni memang suka mengelat sikit. Tapi gua malas nak complain lebih, nak angin-angin marah tak tentu pasal, buat semak kepala gua je. So gua decide untuk proceed pi keja sendiri. Nanti gua kasik submit itu mileage claim. Padan muka lu orang.

Sure lu orang pikir boleh tahan mengada keja gua ni kan? Pi keja nak kena ambik. Balik keja nak kena hantar. Yes gua admit memang mengada. Tapi nak buat macam mana. Since day 1 dah diajar macam tu. Bukan salah gua. Ark? Oh gua lupa nak cakap. Mileage claim tu mau makan 3 bulan jugak la baru clear dapat payment voucher. Sungguh tak efficient.

Anyway, time gua on the way drive pi keja, lepas tol NKVE (time tu trafik nampak lancar gua terus 'YES!' dalam hati sesorang), trigger dalam kepala gua nak mintak parking slot kat basement office gua. Walaupun kurang efficient kadang-kadang tu, bagus jugak diorang ni. Kasik free parking untuk ad-hoc emergency-emergency macam ni. Thumbs up kat lu orang skit. Gua pon capai la phone gua yang tadak keypad ni, call office. Kutu office tu punyala bagus, siap tolong confirmkan dengan security, checkkan ada slot ke tak. And!!! Ada 2 slot. Cun... Satu untuk gua hehehe.

Tapi kutu tanya gua keja pukul berapa. Gua cakap 9.30 pagi. Dia pon check dia punya komputer kot. Tup-tup dia cakap kat gua "You keja esok kot?". Gua pon jawab "Aish harini la...". "Tapi system cakap harini Eddy. You esok" kutu betulkan gua. "Ooo yeke? Patah balik la nampak gaya ni. Hehe terima kasih" dengan harapan kutu sebenarnya bergurau kasar dengan gua di pagi buta. Harapan gua tak kesampaian. Gua hang up phone sambil bagi signal kiri. Gua terus stop tepi jalan.

Elok stop je, gua check schedule kat phone. Cipet! Rupanya betul esok gua keja, bukan harini. Gua paused 2 minit jugakla tepi jalan pikir apa nak buat. Nak u-turn memang no way la kat highway. So dengan slownya gua drive keluar next exit , join the morning-traffic-jam party kutu-kutu yang gua selalu bahan kena masuk office pukul 9. Padan muka gua kat situ.

Lepas berjaya meredah kesesakan lebuhraya urban (amacam hebat tak vocab melayu moden gua hehe) yang tak boleh bernafas tu, gua stop kat mamak kasik breakfast seround. Ada jugakla 2-3 orang awek office yang hot sarapan pagi usha gua, tapi gua tadak perasaan. Lu orang usha apa?

Moral cerita ni, tak kisah la berapa penat lu, lain kali untuk elakkan benda macam ni berlaku, double check la schedule kerja anda. Suruh kekawan tolong cross-check sekali. Biar nampak bodoh dan annoying, kalau tak, lu orang padan muka macam gua. Sekarang gua kat rumah, carik mood nak tidur balik. Hopefully lepas post blog ni gua boleh kasik trum terus.

ps: trum dan tup-tup ada sound effect yang menggambarkan verb dalam situasi yang berlainan.sila consult untuk usage instruction

pss: sorry gua pok-pek lebih harini

psss: ini adalah bukan satu fiction

Life as it is

And today I will extend my complacency for another 6 months (after completing the bi-annual recurrency check late yesterday). Thanks guys for the well wishes. I hope you guys will do well too.

Last weekend (well it was Thursday actually), Abah celebrated his 60th birthday. I realized it is a big thing that he made it to 60. Insyaallah Abah will have a long prosperous life. Will I make 60? Now I'm wondering. Guess I need to start putting on those the running shoe back on lah.

As for Francois, he's out of the rehabilitation center and back in his place near Fontainbleu, a suburb west of Paris. He said that he's now is back on his feet, walking as usual. I will pay you a visit in February boy!

And now, I hope many of you will #tweetlikeagirl =P

ps: kumar will seat his mrcs part two today.good luck macha

pss: im on my way to shanghai.now

First weekend 2011

Gila cepat. Harini dah hari jumaat. Esok dah first weekend of 2011.

Kelmarin gua isi minyak kereta gua kat Shell. Gua ada masuk satu peraduan ni. Kalau gua menang RM30 ribu, gua akan pledge RM5 ribu untuk bawak kekawan gua yang tak kahwin lagi pi holiday kat Siam seminggu he he he.

Kalau tak cukup budget lu orang tambah. Okay dak? Seribu lagi gua bayar zakat. Lebih tu gua kasik parents gua dengan bayar hutang =D

ps: dah berjuta kali gua masuk peraduan shell ni.harap gua menang kali ni.aminnnn

The Tourist

Semalam gua dengan kekawan gua tengok wayang. Cerita The Tourist. Jalan cerita memang hancur. Tapi Angelina Jolie memang anggun cantik bergaya macam biasa. Sampai naik Eurostar konduktor tak check tiket dia lah. Kalau takat muka melayu macam gua jenuh kena fine.

Sikit fakta gua nak kongsi. Dalam cerita ni, Elise Clifton-Ward (Angelina Jolie) naik train dari Gare de Lyon, Paris ke Venice, Italy. Padahal Eurostar punya service kat Paris ada kat Gare du Nord saja. Lepas tu network train ni paling east sampai takat Zurich, Switzerland je. Italy tu sebelah timur Switzerland.

Gila kantoi homework producer filem ni. Jalan cerita lagi la. Lu orang fikir la sendiri. Pendek kata, tak payah la tengok. Unless lu orang tengok sangat Angelina Jolie. He he he

ps: member gua kena sound dengan bos semalam.gua rasa tak patot.kutu pms kot

pss: adik gua yang dah kahwin tu pindah seremban 2-3 hari lepas

psss: harini gua nak tengok hantu kak limah balik rumah pulak

Azam 2011

Macam orang lain, gua ada azam tahun baru jugak. Tapi gua nak share satu ni je dengan lu orang.

Gua nak beli motor besar dengan Land Rover kalau gua kaya tahun ni

Sekian, terima kasih.

Selamat Tahun Baru 2011

Moga ianya akan menjadi tahun yang best jugak untuk lu orang. Cheers. Cewah...

ps: welcome to the year 2011 =)
