I’m a responsible citizen

Had a late night, woke up about noon and had lunch. Chill for a couple and hour at home before I head out to vote at 3 PM.

At 3.15 PM, I casted my vote at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Tamil), Jalan Meru and it all took me less than 10 minutes to do so. My mind is clear and I already know who to vote for.

Let’s hope for the best! Good luck, Malaysia!

Chinese New Year and Black Jack 21

A big Kong Hey Fatt Choy to all my fellow friends who follow my blog. Wishing everyone good health, good wealth and properity! It’s ‘ByeBye Piggy’ and ‘Hello Mickey’

The year of the mouse ushers a different beginning into my new year. It was a different ‘Chor Yat‘ or ‘Chuay It‘ (1st day of CNY) for me this year. I spent most of my day at home with my family. It’s also the first time I did not touch a single deck of card on the first day of Chinese New Year.

Gambling during CNY is a norm in Malaysia. We chinese gamble quite a bit during this festive season to ’see’ what luck lies ahead of us this year. Well, I definitely get to see my luck and it’s pretty good because I did not lose any money :)

Spent the rest of my day having dinner with some family and friends and movie after that. It was definitely a different CNY for me this time. Perhaps I’m getting… older :p

I’m pretty sure its gonna be my last year that I’m gonna be receiving ang pows from my family and relatives.

According to some people, the year of ‘Mickey’ is good for us Dragons. I’m getting pretty skeptical will all these feng shui and fortune hoo haa but I’m really hoping this year it will bring a carry truth in it.

Oh ya, I lost my phone and my entire phone list recently. So to some of my friends, if you did not receive any forwarded festive sms greetings from me, it’s not that I’ve forgotten you or do not put you in heart, it’s because I can’t. But anyways, here’s wishing every Gong Xi Fa Cai, Kong Hey Fatt Choy and Kiong Hee Huat Chai!

Wishing all 21s and Ban-Bans to go your the way :)

Mad about Maybank2U

I’ve been a Maybank customer for many years now. I’ve also been fully dependent with their online banking system, Maybank2U.com which is way more convenient than queuing up in long lines.

I was shocked to find out that my M2U account was blocked due to too many password tries…. again!

You have reached the maximum number of password tries. Your Maybank2u.com account has been blocked.
For assistance, please contact Maybank Group Customer Care at 1-300-88-6688 or 603-7844 3696 (overseas).

I usually don’t make such mistake as I’m quite sure I can remember my password very well. This isn’t the first time as I’ve encounter this problem once back in July. I panicked then thinking that someone tried to hack into my account.

This time, I gave the customer careline a call and only manage to find out that M2U is actually using the funniest security system ever.

Unlike any other web services available on the internet, a user needs to pick a unique username and a password. But this is not the case for M2U, any customer can have the same username but with a different password.

Still don’t get me? Ok… Mr. Wee Ken Fatt and Mr. Soo Ken Wee can be using the same username for their M2U username, for this instance, it’s ‘WEE’. So if Mr. Wee Ken Fatt key in ‘WEE’ for his username but punch in the wrong password for 3 times. Both M2U accounts with the username ‘WEE’ will be blocked! How smart!!!

To unblock your account, you will have to call them up but good luck trying to call them. It took me half an hour to get through them and I’m still stuck with the same username with some dingdong who fucking can’t remember his fucking online banking password!!! What a retard, kannineh!

2 BKT sessions and an Angry Man

Look, I’m not a food critic but I’m very much a Klangite. Although I wasn’t really born in Klang, but I spent more than a quarter of century here in this little town called KLANG.

Now Klang is famous for BKT, everyone knows about that. What boils me is when people do not know how to appreciate the best of Klang.

I have this sudden crave for pork today. So during lunch time, there’s a new BKT stall just opened nearby my office in Bukit Jalil. Okay, I should know better not to complain about other places for BKT when I know Klang is the best. But then again, how would I know Klang is the best when I haven’t tried others, right?

I’m not a big fan of any other parts of the cute little piggy, so I usually stick to lean meat or ribs. The next thing the towkay asked whether I want additional mushrooms, I said no.

After a good 10 mins, food is served. There’s nothing fancy about BKT, usually is a bowl of pork and a plate of rice. But the taste of the BKT is horrendous. The soup is so freaking diluted it taste like boiled water with soya sauce. Not the mention the PLAIN white rice instead of the fragrant rice they usually served in Klang.

As if that was not bad enough, the meat, oh gosh…the meat.. I can hardly chew it. I hate it when they pre-cook the meat separately from the soup and then heat it up together before serving to customer. KNN, It doesn’t taste good at all, don’t they get it!?

My indian colleague had a sip of the soup and she don’t like it either. She told me that the other stall we had BKT earlier in Old Klang Road was much better. I was like WTF!?!?!?!? That stall is a rip off and it’s not much different from what we’re having now!!! OMG!! I lit up a cigarette and let off the topic.

My crave for pork was not satisfied, so for dinner I had BKT again. Sadly, the sameeeeeeeeee shit happens again. Diluted soup, raw tasteless pork and worst of all, freaking plain white rice?????

Okay guys, enough is enough. As a patron, know that BKT is not just pork in soya-sauce like soup. I’ll spare you the history lesson, go read it on Wikipedia. Let me show you how the original KLANG BKT is served!

Klang Bah Kut Teh

THE ORIGINAL WAY. See carefully! Plate of rice with a bowl of BKT only.

Here’s the YES and NO of how we have BKT in Klang:

YES, we have BKT in the morning. Usually a single bowl of pork with a plate of rice. Of course, tea is a must!

NO, BKT is not just meant for lunch, dinner or even supper! Some may try to grab the opportunity to sell BKT for hungry drunkards at night. Fuck, you are drunk and you’re hungry. Anything you eat taste good, damnit!

YES, the original BKT is served in a small bowl with pork and soup ONLY! No other extra ingredients! Extra mushrooms, taupok or even abalone is just to make extra money. Those extra stuffs will totally kill off the herbal taste.

NO, claypot BKT is not as good because of the extra ingredients in it. The bigger it is, the more the charge! Don’t be fooled!

YES, we eat BKT with a plate of rice, folk and spoon.

NO, we don’t eat BKT in a bowl with chopsticks. Screw the tiny bowl! We like to flood our plate with soup.

YES, the original BKT herbal soup is thick and dark. Not too salty and not too sweet with the right among of chinese herbs in it.

NO, BKT soup is not diluted like kopi-o nipis with ice.

YES, the pork is boiled in the soup for hours and the meat must be really tender and juicy.

NO, the pork must not taste like raw steak with a SPEARMINT brand on it. Damn, I hate chewy pork.

Compare BKT

So know your BKT. It’s your right!

Government wants to wrap up Muar hiphop rapper

The YouTube hiphop star rapper from Muar may face trouble with the government when he recently release yet another ‘hit’ number.

This time using our national anthem, ‘Negaraku’.

Namewee sang in a couple of cool chinese style rap MTVs and posted it on YouTube before. His creative talent got him some positive feedbacks and quite a number of negatives too.

His latest work is a rap song using our national anthem, ‘Negaraku’ as a background music stirred up some controversy here in Malaysia.

While some of us Malaysians may find it very creatively done but to the government, is a distastefully composed… the rap song of course.

Well, I honestly like the song and find it quite catchy but I have to agree that his version of ‘Negarakuku’ is not quite appropriate.
