A 'Coffin' as Souvenir

Recently IBM had organised a seminar in One World Hotel and our company was invited. Since the seminar is about data-security, my supervisor sent me for it.

Actually the seminar does not compromising much. It just like those event I used to work for previously. i.e. Microsoft Tech Ed and SAP. It's a talk about their new IT solution.

I was given a file with some of the details about the products in it. And a small notepad after giving back the feedback form.

During the seminar, I saw this "coffin" (small wooden box) on the table. Each of the delegates was given one. It simply caught my attention and curiosity out of it.

It was given by the One World Hotel. What a weird box, don't you think so?

So I tried sliding it open and have a look what's in it. (Sound like opening the coffin to find out whose in it)

Ta da! It's a complete basic set of mini stationery.

Haha, so cute right the mini stapler? Lol. Not bad, even though the box is ugly.

In the evening, out of boredom I messaged one of my colleague. Apparently her nick name was 'cute cute' so I was trying to be sarcastic to her. The conversation goes like this...

Isaac: How cute are you to name yourself cute cute?
cute cute: Thank you.

*I was stoned for a while for hearing that answer... then I continued...*

Isaac: It was a question.
cute cute: Ya. :D

Isaac: ....

*I got so speechless. Either my sarcasm is not good enough or she just simply do not understand!*

Nevermind, after that I just ignored her and continued my work. What a day...

Standout with Nuffnang & Tiger @ HQnine

First of all I would like to say, this is the most generous sponsor ever for all the events I have attended. No matter it's H3n3k3n, H3nn3ssy, or M4x|s.

The theme for this party is Standout, quite similar to the Music Bash event but does not limit to celebrities only. It's more like a cosplay that night.

I couldn't remember what I was busy with in the party. Here are some of the pictures from the event.

Where's my 'Tiger'?

At last the '3Ps' reunion. Meeting my baby Josh Soo.

A picture taken with our very version 'The Spartan' after winning our AX.

PinkPorkChop, the one who invested RM80 in the costume and spending the whole event sitting. Lucky it worth! She won herself a coach purse.

It's a must to remind and gather everyone for a group photo before leaving. Most of the time we just leave and regret after reaching home.

After the event, the 52 bloggers crashed to Murni. What could be more??

Last but not least...

A passion kiss with Josh...

Jess, don't kill me! HAHAHA! :P

Tips to Improve Fuel Economy

I am sure most people especially those who are paying for their own fuel gets really heart ache when seeing their fuel bar dropped like nobody's business.

Here are some very good tips on improving your vehicle's fuel economy. With increasing fuel prices it is becoming more and more prudent to use them.

1. Use your gears wisely.
Driving in the highest gear possible without labouring the engine is a fuel-efficient way of driving. A vehicle travelling at 60kmph in third gear uses 25 percent more fuel than at the same speed in fifth gear.


2. Drive smoothly
Avoid accelerating and then braking! By applying light throttle and avoiding heavy braking, you can reduce both fuel consumption and wear and tear.


3. Switch off your engine
a) Switching your engine off for short periods of time can actually increase fuel consumption, as it requires more fuel to get the engine started.
b) If you are stopped for more than a few minutes then your car will simply burn less fuel with the engine stopped.


4. Drive off promptly to prevent wasting fuel
Don't leave your engine running when you first start up. Drive off straight away if you can, but drive gently until the engine has reached its normal operating temperature. It does mean your engine is switched on for less time.


5. Tyre effect fuel efficiency
It is estimated that about 50% of tyres on the road are under inflated. Aside from increasing the rate of wear, this wastes fuel and decreased your fuel efficiency. Check your tyre pressures every fortnight.


6. Car Windows
Driving with your windows open drastically reduces your fuel efficiency, far more so than putting the air conditioning on when motorway driving. Of course the air conditioning decreases fuel efficiency too, so try not to over use it.


7. Lighten your load
Think carefully about what you need on a journey. if you do not need something, do not pack it. Remove roof racks if not needed. The lighter the load, the lower the fuel consumption, and emissions, and the higher the fuel efficiency.


Last but not least, service your car according to time/mileage that helps to maintain and ensure your car always in good condition. Cheers!

Guess What I Won?

I never have any intention to win anything when I attend events. Basically I never have the luck most of the time, so I could not be bother to 'hope'.

But guess what I won from Standout event by Tiger and Nuffnang?

An Armani Exchange Belt!

Haha, I could not believe I am so lucky. It may not be some very expensive thing, but pretty good enough!

I will be blogging about the Standout event later after gathering the pictures. Stay tune!

Interesting Work Day

Today is definitely an interesting day. I watched the latest show called “The Pork Noodle Man vs. Tau Fu Fah Man” when I was having breakfast before going to work. Haha.

The story is about TTF Man (TauFuFah) asked the PN Man (PorkNoodle) to remove his car from the parking lot so he can do his business there. PN man refuses and questioned the TTF Man, why he should remove the car when it is a public parking lot? Both TTF Man and PN Man got so ‘dulan’ and started pushing each other and then... fight-loh. It’s pretty cute to find those people who don’t fight to fight. Definitely different from what we watched in those martial arts movies.

It’s all normal in the office, being sleepy, struggling to debug the programs and all until my supervisor assigned me to download resumes where the applicants uploaded to the K3G event (Job Fair).

I have no idea if this applicant think we are dumb or he is really dumb. Sending us a (.exe) file. LOL.

So I decided to download it and have a look what he uploaded. Although I have already suspected it must be some shit.

Haha, as expected. Backdoor.IRC.Bot, a trojan horse. He simply not good enough to harm any literate users.

Oh, there's one sending us (.bat) file somemore. Such a computer illiterate, how can any IT company hire her?

Well, I had a great working day today followed by Happy Hour. Haha.

p/s: BTW, who do you think the winner would be? Mr. PorkNoodle or Mr. TauFuFah? Drop me an answer in comment box!

MDG Season 2 Finale

I am not a fan for Malaysian Dream Girls, in fact I did not watch the whole season 2. Since everyone is going for the event, so I thought of joining in the fun as well. I would like to apologize to those who standing around me, as I tend to asking who are those contestants. Anyhow, they only got to answer me the top 3 contestants' names.

I personally like Dawn, as she has dimple on the face that made her very pleasant looking. I would not judge on the catwalk, which I totally no idea how is consider good or bad. Oh yeah, she got 2nd runner up.

As for Pinky, the 1st runner up, she was okay all along not until the end of the show where I saw her repeating pushing and stopping her mom from kissing her. What is so embarrassing having a picture of your mom kissing you is taken? The mother was so happy and proud of her daughter and yet she just denying her. I am simply disappointed.

The champion Juanita, well she has the height and also better body than the rest. Not much comment about her. Oh yeah, congratulations.

I do not bother much about all these voting-competitions, almost all of them are simply gimmick and for the reason of profits. I was lucky to get the ticket a day before the finale, thanks Hitomi for that.

The whole event is pretty boring and nothing much. After the event ended, we march forward to the burger stall in Subang SS15.

Poser

We also celebrated Diese's birthday as well! Although we were a day late, but the thought counts. "Nenek, told you that you will have a burger with candle." Haha. Happy Belated Birthday!
