There’s a recent post regarding a blogger being asked to release his domain, visa.com.my which he claims that he owned the domain for the past 3 years. In his posting, he asked for advise and suggestion from other fellow bloggers. There’s quite alot of comments being posted out and I’ve noticed a few other bloggers had posted this issue into attention…including this.

As much as I share the dismay and discomfort of ever getting into a legal dispute, here’s my advise to the owner.

GIVE IT UP! And save yourself from trouble.

1) VISA International is BIG. But his gut for registering this domain is even BIGGER. Not a good idea!
2) VISA is an International Trademark. Their trademark is on almost all major credit cards in the world. Unless he runs a similar business here in Malaysia… VISA Credit Co.?? hallo halloo…ah long ah?

He also quoted:

1. Visa International Service Association has registered the domain name (www.visa.com.my) before I registered it. It was not renewed by them, hence I registered it through normal channel.

2. Can a common dictionary word be used exclusively by a company?

3. I’ve been owning the domain for the past 3 years.

So what’s your opinion? If you were me, what would you do? I appreciate any help and advice. You can vote here too.

By the way, the idea of registering visa.com.my is not to resell it for a higher price (or known as cybersquatting). I would have done so from the begining if that’s my intention.

Seriously, I do share his grief of having to let go a domain which he already spent RM300 for renewals but I’m quite annoyed of his ideology of no intention to sell the domain for higher price.

C’mon, is he taking us for a fool? If he has no intention on the domain…why would he check on the availibity of the domain at the first place? Why the patience to wait and register the domain after it was expired? Think about it!

As for the owner, I suggest not even to ask for any compensation, it’s not a good idea. You might really end up in a legal dispute.

To the owner, my sympathies go out to you. Oh ya btw, www.mastercard.com.my is registered. I’m sure you knew about it 3 years back

For a guy who haven’t frequent the club scene or even rave parties for quite sometime, I just don’t understand why so many youngsters are into this fast-leg moving dance called the “Melbourne Shuffle”.

I admit it, I’m from the old school and I grew up breakdancing with MC Hammer, headbanging with Guns & Roses, Techno dance with 2 Unlimited and Pop dancing with Paula Abdul. In college, I danced to trance and R&B. Then I begin to frequent Rave parties when I started working. For the next few years, I’ve seen alot of dance moves coming in and out of trend.

It’s only lately that I learnt about liquiding and the Melbourne Shuffle. Both dance move grooves along well with trance music. Here’s a quote from a website talking about the Melbourne Shuffle.

Melbourne shuffle is an art form, and recognised in international dance circles as Melbourne’s own.

The shuffle is a fast heel-and-toe movement, coupled with a matching arm action. While the dance is free-form (no two people ever shuffle exactly the same) the basic step involves repeatedly shuffling your feet inwards, then outwards, while thrusting your arms up and down, or side to side, in time with the beat. The upper body continues to “bop” with the music.

With practice, shufflers can add a 360-degree spin, a fancy side-step or two, and even a double-footed jump to match the peaks of the music. Talcum powder is sometimes sprinkled on the floor so dancers can slip and slide faster as they shuffle. There’s even a competition, the Shuffle-Off, held in Melbourne every few months.

The shuffle is one reason why, to the thousands of Melbourne people who go nightclubbing every week, this city has a unique dance culture. More than 100 clubs - most but not all of them in the central business district and inner suburbs - cater to the electronic dance scene.

I mean seriously, do you really think that a dance where people wearing pants bigger than MC Hammer’s can become a culture of its own? Hmmm….I don’t know but I do know of another shuffling culture. A culture that have been practised since the dawn of mankind…it’s called the ‘Five Knuckle Shuffle’

The Five Knuckle Shuffle

Five Knuckle Shuffe is truly an art form, and dated back to the dawn of mankind.

The shuffle is a fast palm-and-hand movement, coupled with a firm grip to give more satisfaction. While the shuffle is free-form the basic step involves repeatedly shuffling your hand inwards, then outwards, while thrusting your body up and down, or a rub on the tip with your thumb, in time of heat. Your body will quiver to the rythym of your shuffling.

With practice, shufflers can add a 180-degree rub, a fancy up-down rub or two, and even a double-handed shuffle to reach the peak. Soap or lubricant are sometimes used on the palm so shufflers can slip and slide faster as they shuffle. There’s even a competition, a marathon, held in San Fran.

The shuffle is one reason why, to the millions of single, lonely and bored people stays back home every weekend.

The best part about Five Knuckle Shuffle is that you can change your shuffling partner everyday and not just with one…but two!

Pick your favourite name and JERK OFF!!!

The Five Knuckle Shuffle is also better known as ‘tar fei kei’, ‘pak chiu cheng’, jerking off or ‘melancap’.

I’m very sure that the word ‘tah pau‘ is a very common in today’s world. ‘Tah pau’ simply means ‘to take away’ in Cantonese. But none aware that this simple 2 syllables phrase has involved into something more than anyone can just take away.

The simple usages of the phrase ‘tah pau’ are as follows:

To order:
Usage : I wanna ‘tah pau’ McDonald’s.
Meaning : I want to order take-away from McDonald’s.

To express anger:
Usage : I wanna tah pau him or tah pau him
Meaning : I want to beat him up or whack him

To express interest:
Usage : I wanna tah pau her
Meaning : I want to seduce/have her.
(A less ungentlemanly act)
Meaning : I want to f*ck her.

To express dismay:
Usage : I got tah pau-ed, I kena tah pau

Meaning : I got beaten up, I got walloped

To express delight:
Usage : I tah pau everyone in the game!
Meaning : I beat everyone in the game!

To express sexual pleasure:
Usage : We had great sex last night, I tah pau her many times.
Meaning : We had great sex, she had multiple orgasm.

To get things done:
Usage : Let’s tah pau and go back!
Meaning : Let’s wrap things up and go back!

To take without permission:
Usage : I tah pau the book from him.
Meaning : I stole the book from him.

Here are only a few examples. You may find more ways to use this phrase in near future…just like how I did when I tah pau KY in my last Penang Ah Beng vs. Klang Ah Beng entry.

If you hear of anyone trying to tah pau you, RUN! They’re not gonna bring you food!

Sienn… I can hardly move my right arm now. A lesson I learnt the hard way…never ever try to play badminton, volleyball , foosball and do a whole lot of hoeing on the same day.

We went for our weekly badminton game in Section 14, PJ. After 2 games of badminton, I joined another group of people to play volleyball. It was fun since I haven’t been playing volleyball for like 4-5 years. After the game, we went back to KY’s place to help out with his Koi pond project… myself and Horng did a lot of digging for a good 1-2 hours.

At night, we went over to AsiaCafe in Subang SS15 for dinner. There, I spent another good 4 hours playing foosball none stop. I was feeling all hyped up because I finally got back my push-shot and I didn’t feel a single thing…until this morning!

Owww…I’m having a hard time moving the mouse too. Siennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!
