Critical Thoughts Retro

I just stepped out of the shower, the smell of soap and shampoo is still on me. Hence, I declare myself to claim the title of:

THE MOST WANGIMalay word for “perfumed”. GUY ON EARTH

Or at least for the next 10 seconds before some dude steps out of the shower somewhere in another part of earth….

I am selling a red office computer chair. I have put up pictures of the chair and related information on how to make payment on eBay Malaysia. I’ve set the bidding price at RM30, if anyone can match the bid or bids higher, winner will take the chair. Transportation, you kena tanggung sendiri yaLimited to Klang Valley, I suppose…but if anyone can arrange transportation to ship it out of the area, I don’t really care how you do it. LOL.. I will reveal the address for you to pick up the chair if you are the winning bidder. To sweeten the cake further, I am also pledging 10% of the proceeds to be sent to your favourite charity organisation or individual who needs a donation. You name it and I’ll send it.

So what are you waiting for? Bid, bid, bid!

I was alerted to this by a little bird that the recent “Conundrum” has taken flight to the newspapers. Specifically, the Malay Mail, yesterday. I couldn’t get a copy immediately after he told me because my dad didn’t buy a copy, but this morning I managed to grab yesterday’s copy of Malay Mail. Sure enough, it was, err…there. On page 19.

I find it a bit unnerving to see my full name in print. You know, there is a reason why I used my initials, M.E.N.J. in my blog posts, okay? I’ll probably put up some photos of the article in question in my photoblog later.

The full article can be read here, although the incident as described was not exactly how it actually went.

Streamyx problems at Dad’s office in Bukit Duking, and I as the nominated IT specialist have to go there and find out what the blardy problem is…and I found out that the DSL light is stable, but there is a failure to connect to the WAN PPOe. Which means there is only one conclusion to be found as to whose fault it is.

My dad has already went to TMPoint Kajang, and they promised to send a technical guy to fix it. Heh. I hope that comes to fruition.

At the rate of these problems, plus the struggle of wrestling with my DWA documentation, I’ll be having grey hair much, much earlier than my dad.

Today is the anniversary of the death of one of Malaysia’s most illustrious sons, P. Ramlee.

A great director, actor, comedian, playright, composer, singer, fellow Penangite, husband, father and Muslim, he has long met his Lord, but he shall never be forgotten. May Allah shower His Mercy upon him, ameen.
