For ages men have given their beloved vehicle such as ships, planes, yachts, cars and even bikes a name. Usually they’ll named them feminine names such as Angel, Cecilia, Amanda, Lucky June so and so… well, you get the idea. But what’s with all the girlie names?

A vehicle is just a machine and machines do not have genders! How can we tell whether your car is a girl or a boy? Well, technically there’s no way you can tell the gender of your vehicle, right? Yes, that’s what I thought so.

Guess what? You are so terribly WRONG, just like me! You CAN tell the gender of a vehicle just like how you know your new-born pups are a male or female. If you still don’t believe me, view the photo below:

I just watched episode 18 of Heroes and I can only tell you 2 words, MIND BLOWING! I’m not gonna spoil the movie by telling you guys that Peter finally meets Sylar face to face… oops! I guess I did :p

Heroes is the next best series I’m watching after Smallville and Grey’s Anatomy. It’s about a group of ordinary people discovering their special abilities and using them to save the world. This makes me wonder, what if I’m like one of them? What if I’ve got special abilities? What if I’m a hero too? What hero will I be?

As a young boy, I always dreamt of being someone special. Someone with special powers just like superman… except that my super uniform will not include wearing an underwear outside!

If I do have a special power, I would be BAHKUTTEHMAN. My super power includes

1. MOUTH OF DEATH : barfing out leftover bahkutteh from my mouth
2. FIST OF CLAY : left fist turning into super-hard claypot which I can use to slap people with
3. MUSHROOM TOSS : having the ability strike people will killer mushrooms, tossing them to more than a thousand meter
4. PORK KNUCKLE OF FURY : right fist turning into deadly pork knuckle and the most powerful power of all…
5. CURSE OF CHOWAHBENG : the ability to continuously curse in hokkien for a long period of time until the villain gives up

“KANNINABUEHCHOWCHIBAI BOLANCAU NABUEHCHIBAISIBEHCHOW JOLANGKISIOA INLAUBUHORLANKAN ….”

Muahahaha… feel the wrath of my power! So tell me, what hero would you be?

With the recent launch of Visit Malaysia Year 2007 and the new ‘clean’ automatic public toilets in the city centre, I am indeed very impressed with how Malaysians will go to the extend of making plain simple things into sophisticated gadgets.

My experience came when I was in Ipoh last night. When we were on our way back to KL from Penang, we made a quick stop over in Ipoh. We stopped by this little corner kopitiam somewhere in town and after filling up our stomach, I felt the urge to take a leak. I quickly make my way to the gents and luckily it was vacant. Just like any typical chinese kopitiam, the toilet wasn’t like any of those automatic toilets you’ve seen in city centre. It’s not squeaky clean but at least there’s still some civilised Malaysian out there knowing how to flush.

As I was about to step into the toilet, something caught my eye from afar. There’s this long cable dangling from the ceiling right through the lid of the toilet tank. For a moment, I thought that it was some power cable that connects to an electric pump inside the tank.

But as I look up to the ceiling I found that the cable wasn’t really an electric cable after all.

It was just a rope going through a pulley which acts as a toilet flush. It’s another ingenious (cheap) way to get patrons to flush especially when the flush handle is no longer is working condition.

It’s either the owner is a damn cheapo or he/she is just plain genius. The owner chose to drill a hole through the tank lid, tie one end of the rope to the flush valve and the other end over a pulley which was secured to the ceiling. The owner even makes a loop on the end for ease of pulling. Makeshift toilets flush while waiting for the new tank?

No matter what, it definitely fixed the problem. Yes! Yet another MALAYSIA BOLEH! moment.

For the past 3 year I’ve been hooked on DOTA. I started out with DOTA Classic on WarCraft 3: Reign of Choas before I moved on to The Frozen Throne. Thanks to baba, Mr. Damien Yong for introducing this game to me; I haven’t stop playing it ever since.

We used to play for hours at HORUS Cafe in SS2. Then we moved on to play on Battlenet. Problem with playing on Battlenet is that I need to have a original CD key to play online…which I have none. Then someone gave me some CD keys, I got into Battlenet for awhile but after a few times playing it, I can no longer use it because someone else is using the same CD key. That didn’t stop me, soon I learn how to rip CD keys and use NO-CD cracks. Warez rules!

I was on a warez spree for the next 2-3 years. Everytime there’s a new patch for Battlenet, all I need to do is to look for new NO-CD cracks again. This has become quite a annoying routine especially when you feel like playing most but you don’t seem to be able to find any cracks. So I finally decided to do the right thing.

I finally purchased a legit copy of WarCraft 3 Battle Chest set. It consists of 2 installer CDs, ROC and TFT and 3 manuals. Most importantly is that I have got my very own CD key! No more sharing and no more being a crook!

The chinese community here in Malaysia will be celebrataing the Mid Autumn Festival or also known as the Mooncake Festival tonight. To the chinese community, tonight is the night to get together with family members, enjoying the bright full moon while enjoying mooncakes and tea. But with the haze getting from bad to worst, I doubt we’ll be able to see the moon at all. Have no fear though, I’ve thought out a way on how we can still enjoy mooncakes and tea under the bright full moon even in the hazy night. Just follow the steps below and I guarantee you and your family will have a night to remember.
Get a pair of lightly coloured shade. Probably cost you RM10 from pasar malam.

Go to the internet, find a nice image of a full moon. Print it out on your colour printer.

Now cut out the moon…

… and stick it to your pair of shade.

I guarantee that you and your family member will still enjoy this festive moment despite the hazy night.

HAPPY MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL!
