Coffee and Chocolate
I drink a lot of coffee at work and even though I don't really like the beverage (I prefer tea), I need it.
Don't think I would be able to get my work done without a hot cup of coffee nearby.
Anyway, someone at work recently gave me a present - a box of chocolates. Not ordinary chocolates but whole coffee beans coated with chocolate.
It is called Expresso Coffee Delight and is manufactured by Beryl's chocolate & confectionery sdn. bhd. (Never heard of the company before this). Their website layout goes haywire on my Firefox.
Anyway, I had put the box in my office cabinet and came across it today while searching for some documents.
Was curious to see how it tested and opened up the box.
Not bad! I guess I can only describe the taste as Bittersweet. Crunchy too. I chewed the whole thing and swallowed it.

Sky on Fire
Picture 1.
Picture 2.The old saying goes “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”
I guess sailors should be delighted today. Learnt that there is some truth in this proverb from this website
It notes that Shakespeare wrote something similar in his play, Venus and Adonis.
“Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.”
And that it is also mentioned in the Bible, (Matthew XVI: 2-3)
“When in evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: For the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and lowering.”
Does anybody know of other similar sayings anywhere?

Photographer's Block
I had heard of writer's block before but I guess there is such a thing as photographer's block. When you start taking picture of clouds, it means that you have reached the point of "No Creativity".
When I initially joined the 30 Days of Photos Challenge I was confident that I would be able to come up with great creative pictures everyday. However, as the days passed, I realized how difficult the task was. Some of the challenges:
- Forget to bring my camera along.
- Forgot the cable (can’t upload pictures to my computer)
- Too busy with my work,
- No access to the Internet & finally
- Photographer’s block (nothing interesting to shoot).
Some of my close friends commented that the older pictures (before I had joined the challenge) were more creative. What does that say about me working under pressure?
Well! I am not giving up and still trying to come up with interesting and creative pictures.
This is the #20 Photo entry. 10 more to go. Am I crazy or do you see a man with whiskers in the clouds.

The Hypermarket Price Wars
In case you are not aware, there is an ad war going on in Malaysia.
I guess it was started by Carrefour when it brought out an ad in the papers comparing itself with another hypermarket (everyone knew it was Giant) and claiming that its prices were cheaper. Tesco was next - its ads claiming that it is cheaper than 2 other unnamed hypermarkets (Carrefour and Giant?).
Now Giant (under Hong Kong’s Dairy Farm) finally strikes back.
NOTE: Carrefour's Malaysian website is still under construction. Negative points for that.
BTW, this is #19 Photo entry for the 30 Days of Photos Challenge. Didin't have a chance to take any creative pictures today.

World Class Facilities But..
Went to Putrajaya AGAIN and finally settled everything (I hope) and they promised that they will have everything ready by next week. I will write a long post about that in the future or maybe not.
Putrajaya is amazing with magnificent buildings, clean roads, amazing architecture and modern facilities. A truly well planned and modern city.
Of late there has been a lot of talk about how dirty and poorly maintained public toilets were giving Malaysia a bad name and what the government was doing about it. I am sure you know where I am going, by now.
The Government doesn't have to look far. I had the opportunity to visit a few toilets in the 'Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia' (Immigration Dept.) yesterday and they were filthy. There was no soap, no tissue, broken fittings everywhere and the stench was horrible. Cigarette butts everywhere.
And I simply can't understand why people don't flush after they have done the job. What's so hard pushing a small knob? And why do people leave the water hose in the "shit hole" after they have done their job? Ughhhhhhhhhhh!
Someone commented that it might have something to do with the large number of "low class" people from a neighboring country in that particular building. This may be true but what are the people who are supposed to take care of the toilets doing? The authorities must realise what impression the facilities are making on visitors from other countries who come to renew their visa, to apply for an employment pass and so on.
Another visit to the "Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara" revealed similar conditions.
It was much better in the Ministry of Home Affairs HQ. Maybe because they don't have that many visitors. No, I am not a toilet inspector. It is just that I spent almost the whole day running from one office to another and I drank a lot of liquids. And when a guy has to go, he has to go.
The thought that always come to mind is what one leader said about "World class facilities but Third class mentality".
Anyway, this is the 13th entry for the 30 Days of Photos Challenge.
Magnificent buildings.
That's a bridge.

Tower or tree
No. 8 entry for the 30 Days of Photos Challenge.
This telecommunication tower is supposed to blend in into the surroundings but it stands out like a sore thumb. I guess it is better than the normal ones. Not sure who the tower belongs to or whether different cellular phone companies are sharing the same tower.
I have been a loyal Celcom prepaid user for quite sometime now. Initially was a Digi user but got and sick and tired of their low coverage whenever I traveled outside the Klang valley and changed to Celcom. I heard that Digi services are much better now. I have never tried Maxis but it seems like out of every 3 people I know in Kedah, 2 of them have a Maxis line.
Was seriously considering of moving to Digi and even had two numbers (one Celcom and one Digi) at one time. However, I didn't renew the Digi number for a few months. When I tried to, I had a shock when I discovered that the sim card was no longer working. Even worse when I found out that they had given the number to someone else - and it was a nice number. I hate Digi now.
Here are some reasons why I think Celcom prepaid is the best:
- Largest network coverage in the country, covering 95% of the populated areas.
- Their 8 Pax service whereby I can register up to a maximum of eight (8) numbers either from Celcom 013, 019 or Telekom Malaysia fixed lines (calls: 15 sen/minute and 1 sen/sms).
- I also got to upgrade my old sim card to the new 3G card during their promotion period.
- Cheap international roaming services. I put in RM100 and it lasted for the whole period (around 8 days) I was in Australia even though I was calling back to Malaysia every day. I even had around Rm5 credit left when I came back.
- Not sure whether they will take away my number if I don’t renew for 3 months after the network access has expired.
I am sure they are going to come up with more offers as the fight for the Prepaid market gets more aggressive.

Ikea and Mamak
Ikea has nothing to do with Mamak stalls (unless some mamak puts Ikea funiture in his stall). Just wanted to make the title interesting. Actually these are my #5 and #6 photos for the 30 Days of Photos Challenge, respectively.
Taken in the Ikea store in Damansara. After I took this picture, one of their staff (a girl) came up to me and told me that photography is not allowed. I didn't see any warning anywhere. Well! No more free advertising for you guys then.
My favourite mamak stall. We will normally have our breakfast of 'roti canai' or 'nasi lemak' with a cup of hot 'teh tarik' almost every morning. For those who didn't know, 'mamak' refers to the ethnic Indian Muslim comunity in Malaysia.

Apartment to Let
Visited our Flora Damansara apartment. All defects have been fixed/ repaired and I am quite happy with MK Land now. They did a good job.
After a lot of consideration, both my wife and I agreed that it is best for us to rent out our apartment instead of moving in as I still am traveling back and forth between Kedah and Kuala Lumpur. It would be more convenient for her to continue staying with her parents.
Well here are the specifications of the apartment:
- 1080 square feet
- 3 bedrooms + 1 Utility room + 2 bathrooms+ kitchen and living.
- Near to Ikea/ Tesco/ the Curve and 1 Utama
- Big swimming pool
We are asking for a rent of RM1000/ month.
What is so special about our apartment?
- Partly furnished (most of the stuff is from Ikea) + a TV and washing machine.
- FREE PRIVATE CAR PARK
- Big balcony with an excellent view of lake and surrounding hills.
Check out my previous posts.
- Keys to our apartment
- View from our apartment
If you are interested to view the apartment (only on Saturdays and Sundays mornings), please send me an e-mail (ahoklah@gmail.com) with your contact number.
BTW, this is #4 Photo entry for the 30 Days of Photos Challenge.

The Candle
I am now in Kuala Lumpur and have a lot of nice pictures in my camera but I suddenly realised that I had left the USB cable in Kedah- which means I won't be able to transfer the pictures to my computer here. !@#$%^&*
Used the old trusty Canon Powershot to take this picture.
Noticed the candle stand with the blue candle outside our bedroom door. Thought it might be interesting. The candle is my #3 Photo entry for the 30 Days of Photos Challenge.

Milk Booth
#2 Photo for the 30 Days of Photos Challenge.
A lot of people have found the shape of this milk booth interesting as well as eye catching. It was not open when I took the picture. I guess I could have taken it from a more creative/ interesting angle.
Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FX9 in auto mode. Rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

30 day photo
Yesterday I received an e-mail from John Koontz who has a nice photo blog, inviting me to join a photography challenge - 30 Days of Photos Challenge. The idea sounds quite simple: to post a picture every day for 30 days.
Since, I got my new digital camera, I have been taking pictures like crazy and I thought it should be easy. However, there are some conditions.
"Now, the hard part isn’t taking a photo each day. It’s trying to get a photo worth showing every day. I, for one, am interested in how long each person can keep up with worthy photos. This exercise is really going to stretch our imaginations and creative ability"
Going through some of the pictures that I have taken these past few days, I am not sure whether they fall into the “creative” or “worthy” category but here goes - my first post.
Ripe fruits on a palm tree near my office building.
Taken with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ9 in natural sunlight without flash/ auto mode. Picture cropped and resized using Irfanview.
Anybody else interested in joining in.

Hi-tech way into a man's heart
They say that the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. However my wife knows better. Look at what she got me for my birthday. My latest toy - the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9.
I really love my wife.
A have been looking for an affordable but good quality digital camera for quite sometime now. Our conditions were that: 1) it must be below RM1500, 2)take good quality pictures, 3) at least 5 Mega Pixels and 4) preferably weather proof. Yeah, we are really demanding customers.
I have been reading a lot of reviews and I must tell you that making a choice is realy tough - there are so many out there.
We went around camera shops asking their opinion. After seeing an billboard in PJ we nearly settled for the Olympus Stylus 600 Digital (mju 600 Digital). At RM999, it is the cheapest 6 Mega Pixel digital camera in the market right now. Besides this, what attracted us to this camera was the fact that it has a weatherproof body. However on doing further research, I read that it's LCD screen is broken easily and that the picture quality is not that good. Furthermore, it only takes movies without audio. I mean what fun is a movie without sound apart from Charlie Chaplin's.
Last weekend we were in Mega Mall, KL looking around some of the camera shops. In one of them, a guy recommended the Panasonic Lumix FX 9 and we were quite attracted to it. He was offering it at RM1399 with a 256 MB Secure Digital memory card thrown in for free (the camera comes with a tiny 16 MB card ). We decided to look around.
At one of the shops on the ground floor, we noticed a promotion for Pentax digital cameras. I was attracted to one which can take pictures underwater. However, on trying it out, the results were not that satisfactory.
The guy was quite nice (we hate attendents with an attitude problem) and decided we could see what they had on offer. They also had the Panasonic Lumix FX 9. What we really liked about this camera was that it comes with an anti-shake technology (Penasonic calls it "the Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) technology". The guy attending to us was offering the camera at RM1499/ with a 512 MB SD card, a camera carrying case and a LCD lens protector thrown in for free.
I have to admire my wife's bargaining skills - she asked for the camera with the 512 SD card minus the LCD protective cover, for RM1400. After a bit of bargaining he finally agreed. However as we were paying by credit card, we had to pay RM20 more. We also bought the LCD screen protector for RM30/. The total cost: RM1450/
They had two colour choices - black and grey (looks like lavender to me). My wife choose the grey one. She told me later it was because the black one was their display model. I must say that the cover really looks nice too.
Here are some of the features of my new toy in brief:
- 6.0 Mega Effective Pixels CCD
- 2.5 inch High-Resolution (207,000 pixels) LCD Display
- 3x Optical Zoom and 4x Digital Zoom
- Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) technology.
- Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens
- VGA movie with audio (30 fps)
- Consecutive Shooting at 2 fps
- Slim Alloy body
- Easy to use function mode dial, 15 scene modes
- Dimensions: 94.1 (W) x 50.5 (H) x 24.2 (D) mm
- Weight: 127g (not including Memory Card and Battery)
- Made in Japan

Roots
I recently finished reading Roots, the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Alex Haley.
It is the story of an African who was captured and sold as a slave in America and of his descendents. In case you didn't know, the story was made into the first week-long television mini-series and even ran on Malaysian TV.
In Melbourne I borrrowed the DVD collection from my sister. There were 5 DVD's in total. I didn't cry but I have to admit, it was quite emotional. We thought of watching only one DVD and the others later because it was quite late. Ended up watching all of them until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.
I decided to buy the book when I got back to Malaysia but my wife told me that her mother had a copy. And there it was in their bookcase, pages yellowed but still in a good condition. The book was much better.
The book has been published in 37 languages and also generated widespread interest in genealogy - researching family origins.
It really made me think about my own roots. Frankly, I don't know much beyond my own grandparents, where they came from or even their names.
Of course most people don't care. There are people who even reject their own roots. A good example are Malays who try to be more Arabanized than the Arabs. Banning Mak Yong is another.
Do you know your own roots?
