இ Domestic Transformer

Would you believe this if I say it over the phone that a 330 sq ft apartment has 24 rooms? Most likely you will say "you have gone bananaz". Hong Kong is renowned for this phrase in Chinese 留食不留宿 [liú shí bù liú sù] ~ lit. "can stay to eat but cannot stay  overnight"  . Seeing is believing as this apartment in Hong Kong was designed by architect, Gary Chang and he calls this the "Domestic Transformer." Check this out..

இ Living in 2Jilo1Jilo - Ridiculously True

Nowadays with the high technology in our current lifestyle we almost have forgotten those good old days. Received this email from friend Brigitte and I kinda agree with her absolutely how we lived a ridiculously life..

Living in 2010


YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2010 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7.  Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

Have a nice weekend and Happy Blogging.

Get a life I am Getting a Life too..

இ Trains ~ PUSH:PUSH:PUSH..

Arab student sends an email...


Dear Dad,


Berlin is wonderful, people are nice and I really like it here. But Dad,


I am a bit ashamed to arrive at my college in my White Gold Mercedes, when all my Teachers travel by train.


Your Son
Nasser

Sometime later, Nasser gets a reply from his Dad:


Loving son,


Twenty Million Dollars transferred to your account. Please stop embarrassing us, go and get yourself a train too.


Your Dad

How we wished to have such a mis-understanding dad! Have read a few postings and comments on our local train services by fellow bloggers and Bananaz can understand and know how you all feel when the service is not up to standard and the LRT or commuter trains are packed like sardines. Perhaps relax a bit, you might wanna check this out on the condition in Japan. Manglish could be in a better position to add-in more input with his real life experience there. I have a lady friend who studied and worked in Tokyo couple of years back, faced this 'push' everyday and what she had to do is to carry her bag pack at the front and join in the squeeze. If you cannot win them join them. Have a go and feel how is it like being "PUSHED" everyday..

Phewwwww!!!Oh my goodness..this is a second video added to convince [SK] its happening in Japan listen carefully to the Nihonjin speaking and the station announcement too haha so desu nei..

First comment from smallkucing ~ "Apart of the Sardine situation, there is always the Mr Octopus situation also...haiz..."

ക ONE DAY WITHOUT INTERNET

At the 100-day mark Obama said he is “proud of what we’ve achieved but I’m not content” in a prime-time news conference. For a normal probation of senior executives would be 6 months and some earliest at 3 months. From conception to birth it takes roughly about 9 months for the baby to be born. In Daoism 49 days somehow has been significantly practised in their rituals and customs. Do you reckon 49 days or 100 days is long compared to 9 months? What about comparing the shortest 49 days to ONE day and that particular ONE day you are facing a technical glitch with internet and you cannot get your work done from noon until the next morning. Guess that ONE day is so hard to stomach and its like 100 days to me. The same analogy of sitting with someone you don’t like for 5 minutes seems like 50 minutes versus chatting up with your sweet heart for 50 minutes and that was  merely like 5 minutes. You can guess how much frustration is building up by looking at the cartoon below, a picture paints a thousand words..

Internet connection got cut off before noon did a ‘Diagnose and repair’ nothing happens. Wait another hour nothing happens. On/Off the router still nothing happens. Called TM at 1300 88 1515 or 100 and you get this “Selamat datang..untuk Bahasa Malaysia tekan 1, for English press 2, for technical assistance press 1...please enter your area code & service number followed by the # key..Huh what is area code and service number? What the heck is the service number? Gee I found out later its referring to the telephone area code and service number is telephone number oops. Spent quite a number of hours trouble shooting the problem and I would say TM technical staff are very helpful. Until all else fail we gave up and I pray hard for the next day.

Actually the whole problem comes from external due to some TNB cable fault. I received two follow up calls from TM in the morning regarding my report on the faulty connection,  I'm impressed they have raised the bar with tremendous improvement in customer service. All went on well after 10:00 am this morning and what a great relief I'm alive and kicking again lol. ~:o)
