MASux®

Our national flag carrier, Malaysia Airlines was formed in 1947 as Malayan Airways.
62 years on, its services are still…let's call it mediocre to be kind-er.

MASkargo, MAS' cargo division.

What should be MAS' new logo.

We, my family and yours truly had an 11.55am flight out from Sibu to KLIA this morning. What I'd hoped would be a routine Baggage scan-Check
in-Board-Fly-Land without crashing flight turned out to be otherwise.

A normal check in would take at most 10 minutes, 20 with the queue. Now let's have some illustrations.

This was our position in the queue initially, marked with the green arrows.

And this was where we were a good 30 minutes later.

Oh now did I just post the same picture twice?
That's because we didn't move at ALL. That INEPT officer(Teh red arrow) got held up with some ticketing problem with a fellow passenger. See how I didn't blame the passenger? That's because that dumb officer should have known how to deal with the problem. In the end we re-queued at another counter, which was light speed compared to the Mr. Inept's counter.

I know I shouldn't blame MAS for that Mr. Inept's fault, but it could mean that MAS has lousy staff training =D That was problem number 1.

Problem number 2

They broke the strap of my fcuking bag. And although they promised to call me when I went to complain, fat chance they actually will.

Problem number 3
Ok, this isn't really a problem.

MAS is getting too caught up with the cost-cutting measures. The quality and presentation of their food has deteriorated into hell in recent years.

They used to serve food on plastic platters, and I think that made the food look nicer. Now that they've switched to paper boxes, I seem to notice every single fault.
Portions used to be larger.

I bet prison food looks better than this. And that looked like a piece of lizard shit sitting right on top of my rice which overwhelmed my not-so-spicy chicken into a corner.

We used to be civilized, eating with metal forks and spoons. Back then sitting in MAS used to mean that you were a notch above them "AirAsiaPeople".

Now, with hospital-ish cups like that, sitting in MAS would mean that you're one of the slow ones that couldn't be bothered to book your Air Asia tickets earlier and had to settle for what was available at the last minute.


A nice view, the only thing good about the flight, no thanks to MAS.

They even tried to ruin it with dirty windows =(

Problem number 4
Okaaaaaaayyyy…I know this isn't really a problem, rather more of a personal preference =D but I'll say it anyways.
MAS changed the colours of their seats not too long ago to promote a not-so-dull image.

Now you must be wondering, just where in the world you've seen something similar before..
Here maybe I can help.

Finally...

After eons of dreaming and considering, I finally got my hands on the newest member of my growing toy collection.

Front

Back

Box

It supports sync-flash too(using my built-in flash to trigger the flash)

I admit, I love doing things at the last minute. This morning was the very last day for me to actually go out and look for it. I couldn't do it after work as I had a company dinner to attend, nor could I do it tomorrow as I'll be flying back tomorrow.


Also, I couldn't go out and buy it without any batteries, so I had to separately order a set of NiMH AA batteries,

Sanyo Eneloop, the best there is

and wait until it arrived before I could go out and search for my flash.




But all in all everything went well. I got my paws on my toy, got back in time to work for a few hours and attend my company's dinner

The highlight of the night, Kickass Crab

Yeah, which was fun, I meant delicious. =D

Well I'm off for the Chinese New Year and won't be back so soon. So enjoy~

Behind The Scenes

Star held a huge-assed mega Education fair last weekend. For those of you who actually give a shit about your education; that, or if you're like me, who am working for one of the exhibitors, you would've probably heard and knew about it.

Yep, I'm working for one of the exhibitors. Else how would've gotten hold of one of these.

Don't even begin with the How-did-it-go-was-it-fun-did-you-see-anything-interesting shit.
If I were to use one and only a single word to describe it


Reader #1: WHATZ WIF TEH HEARTS???!!!!11oneone1eleven

I thought it would be fun to keep people guessing =D

During the fair, I was, together with a fellow colleague supposed to be the company's mascot and parade our furry asses around the hall.
I ended up being a *takes a deep breath* counsellor cum flyer distributor cum personal assistant cum receptionist cum spy.
Yesh, a spy.
In technical terms, My controller gave me a Reconnaissance mission to gather intelligence about the target.
In layman terms, My boss actually asked me to "take a walk" pass our competitor's booth to "survey the situation". And I strolled pass our enemy's booth wearing a big-assed company logo right on my chest like nothing ever happened.
The mascot job was undoubtedly fun. When, besides fuckin' Halloween do you get to dress up like a pansy British Guard, or a thin furry Koala(pic) without getting beaten up?

As it was organized by Star, it would only make sense if the free newspapers distributed were copies of The Star. 3 institutions sponsored a total of 80,000 copies a day. That makes it 160,000 copies for the 2 days the fair was running. Now imagine only a couple thousand more of these stacks.
I am now going to do some free publicity for my company. How often do normal people like you get to see behind the scenes pictures, yep, not often.

This belonged to a group of Hong Kong institutions. Seriously, I don't know why they even bothered to make an appearance. I wouldn't want to go there. =D

It was a pity I didn't bring my camera with me. Not that I would've had the time to take any pictures, but I missed a great shot of the Twin Towers at night. DammitSh********

Of Nerds and Yours Truly

*Warning*This is going to be a BP (Bitch Post), meaning lots of pictures with little or no content*Warning*

For those of you who were there at Sunway Lagoon when my fucking specs decided to take a crash course in base jumping, you would've knew that it phailed. Terribly too. And I've been wearing that broken pair of specs since then.

Not anymore =D

And some of those who know me probably know that I love Khalil(Fong). Fine, not love, but drool over him prefer him over the other faggots. And out of those who know that I like Khalil, some probably know what he looks like.

Yep.

Nerdy. Just the way I like it =)

And for those who know me even more, they probably already knew the kind of specs I was getting when I told them I was getting a new pair of spectacles.


Yep.

Nerdy. Just the way I like it =) Now did I just repeat that?

My affiliation with nerdiness dates back more than 13.7billion years a long time. Waay back.

Back when I was chubby-er.

Back when the trend was large framed glasses..

Back then, it was usual for me to wear like this to tuition classes.

And yes. That's me on the left.

They say habits are undying. You know, they're not wrong at all. Even as I leveled up (zomg G-E-E-K) into College, the nerd FIRE was still burning within.

(Note the socks =D)

During lunch, we nerds take out our umbrella to protect our fragile outer-bioexoskeleton from the Sun's deadly cosmic radiation.

Even having a shirt that has a picture of the final and last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now beat that.


And, as I finally leveled up into the revered University level, I move one step closer to achieving Nerdish Nirvana by owning a pair of Nerdish X-Ray VisionMaster 4000.


If you hated this post, do give me feedback. If you loved this post, do give me feedback.

If you hated this post, do give me feedback. Shit, I think I just repeated that again…

Jew Powah

This picture has nothing to do whatsoever with the topic today.

****Note from Author****

This makes for potential ISA material. If you're under 18 or are scared shitless at the thought of being associated with jews, get out NAO.

****You've still got time to press Ctrl+W*****

***Don't say I didn't warn ya***

------------------------------------------

Ok then, whether you've been following international news channels like CNN, BBC, KNN, Al-Jazeera, or tuning in to the biased jew-hating local news, you'd know that the headlines have been occupied by nothing else except the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict circa 2008-9.

And many of those whom I know are convinced that it was the fucking jews that killed innocent Palestinians. Yeah, with all that reporting done on Anti-Israel protests all over the country and the world, any dumb guy would've thought that it was the jews' Israel's fault.

We Chinese have very good proverbs which I will use here and there in this post. The first one would have to be 无风不起浪. Literally translated it means There would be no waves without any wind. Or in other words there would be no effect without a cause.

无风不起浪. The jews Israelis wouldn't have launched such a massive attack to pwnz teh Palestinianz on the friggin' Palestinians if they weren't aggravated in the first place.

Let's have some background story now, so you'd further understand the plot in the ongoing soap opera.

On the 19^th of June 2008, a ceasefire agreement went into effect between Israel and Palestine. Almost immediately, the truce was violated. Just five days after the ceasefire, a mortar shell dropped on Israel. The following day another 3 rockets were fired towards Israel. Subsequently, rockets and mortar rounds were fired onto jewish Israeli civilian areas on a daily basis.

The jews Israel announced that it wished to extend the ceasefire agreement on December 13^th. Palestine, with its newfound balls confidence that no one would dare attack under the presence of Iranian backing, literally took the announcement, crumpled it up, and pissed on it before throwing it back to Israel's face. So ended the ceasefire.

Here I shall use yet another proverb. 不知量力 which translates into Biting off what one can chew. Israel is backed by the US and A. Even a donkey knows better than to mess with the US and A.

The jews Israel, secretly happy that the ceasefire ended, immediately launched Operation Kick-Their-Ass Cast Lead on Palestine, although their objective is still unknown, most likely vengeance.

If you ask me, Hamas had been tempting the attack by Israel ever since the ceasefire started. And now when Israel finally responds, they're crying out to the world for help. And GET THIS, PEOPLE ARE BUYING IT. YOU DUMB PEOPLE. READ MOAR FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES BEFORE POINTING FINGERS AT THE WRONG PEOPLE.

Afterword: That being said, I personally do not side Israel for the attacks. I just can't take it when people go waltzing on the streets, burning US and Israeli flags. Heck, even POLITICIANS are caught up in this shit, joining in these dumb and POINTLESS protest. Who the hell in the world would give two shits about us?

Twenty ‘O Nine

Ahh..the 31^st of December. New Year's Eve. It could only mean one thing.

No..It can only mean massive traffic jams and stinkin' crowds. =D

That's why we ex-PE 7.5 are what we are, smart. Instead of jostling with the stinkin' crowd and getting stuck in the massive traffic jam that was everywhere, we decided to 'celebrate' the New Year the next morning.

The brainchild of our very own Leung Keet, the gathering took place at Subang Parade with the participation of a grand total of…….seven people. The Nottingham kids were having exams in one week's time, so I guess that was their excuse. But seven was good enough for something that was cooked up at the very last minute, I'd say.

The gathering was but a simple (read expensive) lunch at Kenny fucken' Rogers. Now for the pictures to tell the tale…

I had no idea why they served us ONE frickin' muffin together with the drinks. But luckily for me, I didn't have enough time to think about why, Loong Jin was already halfway through the poor muffin.

Can I haz a chezburger??

Our great organizer Leung Keet taking pictures of his food(with the lousy phone camera)

Kok Shen comes all the way to Kenny Rogers...to have a cup of milk.

I swear to God that RM16 excluding frickin tax for this is unacceptable.

After lunch, we sat and chatted for a good forty minutes before finally asking for the bill. A monkey could feel the stares of the workers.



A quick picture or two, then we left as most of them had their own programs. Yeah, we should have more or such gatherings. *hint*hint*Leung Keet* =D


PS: Fucking Blogger cropped the right part of all my pictures, it is not I who lack Photography skills.
