Neway™ sux




One of our classmates will be returning to Hong Kong. Our class decided to throw him a surprise farewell party. Well I'll skip the boring parts and go straight to Neway™.
We got a big-assed room since there were like 15 of us. The room even came with a built-in toilet.
After paying what we were going to pay, of course I had to check that toilet out.



Wow, so far I'm impressed, STERILIZED COMPLETELY

个屁(For bananas, it means …NOT)

Nothing could've prepared me for this.



That's like, THE MOST EXPENSIVE NUTS I HAVE EATEN, EVER.
HUMAN TESTICLES on the black market don't cost THAT MUCH.

And take a closer look at the bottom part

"TIDBITS 9 RM81.00"
Now I'm VERY HAPPY I actually did this.


Hint : That's the bucket for ice

Not to be a fanboy or anything, but the next time any of you want to sing karaoke, go to Green or Redbox™.




They have free flow drinks, and UNLIMITED NUTS.
Not to mention they're cheaper too.

Alcohol in Redang






Some people are born to drink. Some aren't.





Some don't want to admit that they're drunk.

Nice shirt by the way





Some just die in bed




Others go topless and run around the beach


Then there're those who want desperately to prove to others that they CAN drink.

Kok "I drive unlike a pro" Shen® had been talking about going to the pub ever since we got on the island. So much so that I think he was already thinking about it before he arrived on the island.









Even dreaming about it.


So on the second night on the island, his pestering finally paid off when a few more of them(note how I used THEM instead of US) finally agreed to have a drink in a pub at some other resort.
None was more enthusiastic as Kok Shen®. The first thing he did was to find out the price of a can of Heineken®.


"RM5"

He proudly announced. Which was REALLY cheap, because all the other resorts charged between RM8 to RM9.50 per can. So his announcement got all those buggers that wanted a drink excited.

In the midst of all the excitement, I remembered asking him where he got the price from.

"It's on the notice board lah, RM5"


Since I wasn't drinking, I didn't bother doing anything. Kok Shen® took initiative and ordered a dozen cans. The drinks came soon after.

"RM114.00 Thank You"

Walau, on Redang the GST more one meh? RM114 was WAY more than RM60. The price per can turned out to be RM9.50, RM1 more than the RM8.50 OUR resort was charging. Thanks a million Kok Shen®


Naturally I had to check out this "NOTICE BOARD" that said the price of a can of beer was RM5.

Wah, the resort SCAM US..











Not

"FOR OUTSIDE DRINKS WILL BE CHARGE:-"




Turns out dear old Kok Shen® was drunk even before he starting drinking.
And No, I don't drink.

Redang Class Trip Part 1



After an excruciating month of exams, what better way to celebrate both our graduation and the end of exams than a class trip?


This may sound narcissist, but I claim credit for organizing this trip. Not forgetting the financial consultant Kein Yip, and the useless financial er..provider, Kok "I drive unlike a pro" Shen®. Without them there wouldn't be no class trip. So thank them, but before that thank me. J



Photos? There's too many to show. So I'll just pick a few of the more special ones.


Here we are waiting agonizingly for the frickin train that almost never came. It was a good 40minutes before it finally arrived. Remember to remind me never to arrange any trips with KTM trains again.




I personally had little or no problems with the bus trip being at night.
The bus stopped for gas at some random station somewhere in the middle of the highway.
Smart people like me took the opportunity for a quick toilet visit.




I projected the arrival time to be around 6am. The bus driver thought otherwise. He made it to the Kuala Terengganu bus terminal a good hour and twenty minutes ahead of my estimation. We got into the resort's resthouse awaiting the van(s) that would transfer us to the jetty.



It's just the first day, and these buggers are already looking dead.




Except for this one.





The jetty was a good 40 minutes drive away. We had to once again wait for the speedboats to be loaded up and fuelled before we could board it.
By this time those buggers that were looking dead before this were anything but dead. They saw tiny fishes in the waters and got all excited about it.









On the surface, nothing much changed in the 3 years since I last visited the island. The white sands, the clear blue waters…


When we arrived on the island, once again some buggers jumped off the boat and ran towards the beach like monkeys, totally forgetting that they'd brought along LUGGAGES.


We had to shout to them to come back and take their own luggages.



Not putting on sunscreen will only lead to PAIN.

That being said, I was the ONLY JACKASS that got severely sunburned and tanned. The reason? 'Cause that VOICE in my head told me not to wear a lifejacket when going snorkeling.



You know what, I just lost all will to write anything. So I'll make this into a 2-part post.

Renaissance KL

*I'll be away for holiday for a few days. So my blog will not be updated. There there, no crying now. :)


It was where our Cambridge A Levels Graduation Ball@Prom would be held. Kok "I drive like a pro" Shen wanted desperately to "EXPERIENCE" staying in a 5-star hotel.

Before I start, I would like to bring to light a probable scam by either the College or the Student Committee. Since Kok Shen® wanted so badly to stay in the hotel, I asked my dad to book a standard room for a night. He could book it using some points that he had. After he booked, he informed me that the Standard room was RM250/night.

I had a little chat with one of my lecturers. He told me that there was an OFFER for us students going to the Prom. A DISCOUNTED RATE of ONLY RM380. I nodded and smiled indifferently like a jackass. I even asked if the room was a Standard room. Yes was the reply.

There you go. Scam. The so called SPECIAL DISCOUNTED rate was a vulgar 52% more than the normal price of RM250/night. Now I wonder WHOSE pocket the money would've gone to.

So to those who paid RM380 for t3h room, j00 got 0wn3D, b@d1y.
And to Kok, you shall now bow and kiss my feet in gratitude for saving you a grand total of…er…a significant amount.

Ok then. Renaissance®. A full FIVE star. Probably one of the top hotels in the country. The building is divided into 2 sections. East and West Wing. Don't ask me why, probably if a bomb goes off in one wing, the other one will still stand? :D

Part of the East Wing lobby, with its big ass shining marble/granite staircase.


With big assed Grand Pianos lying everywhere as well. I counted at least 4 in the first 2 floors alone.


Not only big assed Grand Pianos. They have HUGE-assed Chandeliers hanging from just about everywhere as well.

Apart from the lobby, hotel layouts are pretty generic. From exotic designs on elevator doors,


To the corridors leading to the rooms,


To the rooms themselves.
The only thing fucked up about the room is that TV. EVERYTHING in the hotel was either big-assed or HUGE-assed. What happened to my TV being a ENORMOUS-ASSED PLASMA TV?


When I spread open the curtains, this STARED me in da face.

Having stayed in quite number of hotels before, NONE of their views out of the window matched this.





Amongst everything else, with the exception of the friggin TV, this shower looks the cheapest. Somehow it just doesn't fit the environment.


In KL, there isn't a lot of area where one can still see lush greenery.

i 0wN3D j00!111oneone11! I ham +@ll32 than j0o. j00 G0tz pwnd.
* For those of you mere Earthlings that don't understand l33t, The author was mocking Concorde Hotel that he was in a building taller than it.




At night, there was this sight to behold.

Potentially Flammable






Imma talk about something that's gonna potentially generate a lot of backlash. No it's not about that Chua Soi Lek porno. It's t3h recent fuel price hike.



In one particular thread started in LYN(For those of you uninitiated, it stands for Lowyat.Net, an online loitering space forum), posts were flying up faster than you could pronounce "Pronounce". Yeah, I did my part in contributing to the thread. I spent like what, 10 seconds typing the words "You suck". And in those 10 seconds, 6, YESH, SIX POSTS flew up. In a mere 6 hours, the total post count had already reached the maximum of 2500.



Where was I again? Ok yeah, about that thread in LYN. NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT(97%) of the fuckers members that posted were blaming BADAWI. The other 2%? They just couldn't be bothered to post anything.



Badawi was just the poor guy that MADE the fucking announcement to you fuckers. And it's not HIS decision to increase the prices of fuel. Given the choice, he would LOWER the fuel prices to make us happy, looking at how fucked up his party is in right now.



And what about this. This was a chain email that was posted on LYN.



AFTER READING - KEEP FORWARDING TO BOYCOTT PETRONAS SALE TO BRING DOWN THE PETROL PRICE !!!!

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' PETROL FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET PETROL BACK DOWN TO RM1.92 PER Litre....

This was originally sent by Phillip Hollsworth, a retired Coca Cola executive.

If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this winter, take time to read this, PLEASE.

Phillip offered this good idea.

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day' campaign that was going around last April or May!

It is worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!

We are going to hit RM 2.70 a litre and it might go higher!! Want petrol prices to come down?

We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at last year's action because they knew we would not continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.

Please read on and join with us!

By now, you're probably thinking petrol priced at about $1.50 is cheap.

It is currently RM2.70 for regular unleaded.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a liter of gas is CHEAP at $1.50, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace...not sellers.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their petrol! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying petrol.

But we CAN have an impact on petrol prices if we all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from Petronas
the biggest price-up driver company.

If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Petronas petrol buyers. It's SO simple!

Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions and even BILLIONS of people!!

I am sending this note to 20 people.

If each of you sends it on to at least twenty more that's (20 x 20 = 400) ..

And those 400 send it to at least twenty more (400 x 20 = 8000 ... and so on,

by the time the message reaches the fifth group of people, we will have reached over SIXTY FOUR MILLION consumers!!!!!


20x20 = 400

400x20 = 8,000

8,000x20 = 160,000

160,000x20 = 3,200,000

3,200,000x20 = 64,000,000

64,000,000x20 = 12,800,000,000

That's
12.80 Billion people folks, who will have been contacted!!!!!

Unbelievable?? Do the math and see for yourself!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 20 people. That's all!
I'll bet you didn't think we had that much potential, did you!

Acting together we can make a difference..

If this message makes sense to you, then please pass it on.

THEY will LOWER THEIR PRICES TO BELOW THE RM1.92 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.

THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

It's simple - send the message along to others and choose to not buy petrol from Petronas.

TWENTY FIVE POINT SIX BILLION people:


Now THAT's people power.


LET'S JUST DO IT ! ! !



PS: The world only contains 6 billion people, you noob.



Number one, Petronas exports our oil to the frickin Middle East.
Number two, Petronas is the reason why you're driving on roads and not dirt paths.
Number three, Retired Coca Cola executive? I don't see how that makes him knowledgeable to the extent which I have to believe him.
Number four, Petronas is STILL the reason why you still have a fucking RM0.30 discount per litre.


I do not welcome the fuel hike, but neither do I blame the government for doing it. The price of crude oil per barrel has increased SO much. The price was $8 per barrel back in January 1999. Fast forward 9 years, and the most recent price was $138.54. A quick calculation will give you a whopping rise of 1725%. If numbers are not your thing, then look at the graph. These are from AUTHENTIC SOURCES, not some smartass retired prick that sold junk food for a living.




And Anwar, don't even start with him. He CLAIMS he will lower fuel prices if elected. Maybe he will, by a few cents? And a few months later, the price will once again go up, with him playing the sympathy card, explaining to the Rakyat what I'm explaining right now. And the crappy thing is, the dumb Rakyats(Yes, us), will buy everything. Somehow the same thing did not happen when the present government explained the same thing. Discriminators…



And I'm not arguing with the Public Transportation argument too. I don't deny, our public transportation is the penultimate shitness. From fucked up Taxis to delaying commuter trains. The government is not fully to be blamed. Correct, our government is doing a shitty job managing it. But the government can only do that much, the rest is up to the employees. It all comes down to attitude.



One last thing? J We're all complaining about how corrupt and selfish our government is. Have we taken time to look at ourselves? Often times I see people PROUDLY telling their friends about how they managed to avoid a ticket when the policeman stopped them by giving the policeman some you-know-what. And if THAT'S not corruption, then Imma girl. Selfishness? Just look at the train stations during peak hours.
