Well.. what do you know? In a blink of an eye, UltraBen is almost 2 months old already. With all the work taking care of him, time really flies. Ha ha..

Yeah, it’s been a while since I last touched a camera except for that day when Miss Purple Lady came over to Rumah Mayat to pick up her spanking new Panasonic LX-3..

Wah… this little compact camera, it’s actually not bad and quite a performer if you’re looking for something small and light yet producing reasonably nice photos. The built quality is ain’t bad either..

It sells for RM1,520 at the moment with free 6GB SD card, LCD screen protector and also a camera pouch which you can hang on to your belt (for guys) or just dump it into the LV handbag (for gals). Oh, I also got to know that it’s also a very hard to get item so Miss Purple lady, you’re damn lucky! LOL…

Well, back to UltraBen…

Taking care of him is getting easier by the day as we’ve adjusted our lifestyles as well as clock to his routine already. Now I can wake up in the middle of the night to feed him and go back to sleep without getting (too late :P) for work in the morning. Ha ha…

He’s growing fatter and fatter too.. it’s very good to us because at this size, it’s easy to hold and carry him without feeling that he’s too fragile… LOL

BLR rate increase of 2.5%

January 26th, 2010

(KUALA LUMPUR, 27th Jan) — The general public was caught unaware today when the national BLR rate was unexpectedly increase by 2.5% without any announcements or prior warnings. Effective from today, all establishments will be using the new rate.

Chairman of the Banana Leaf Rice Restaurant Association of Malaysia, Sivaji the Boss told LAUTERS in a faxed statement that the rate increase for the popular Banana Leaf Rice dish is inevitable considering that fact that costs of raw ingredients has increased tremendously over the past few years and that the association has been absorbing the additional costs all these years.

“It is fair that we pass down just a fraction of the burden the association has been carrying for these few years. The recent hike in sugar and Gardenia prices was the last that we could handle.” Sivaji said.

“An increase of 2.5% is not really a big deal to the general Malaysian public you see. A usual set of Banana Leaf Rice with mutton, vegetables and curry now only costs RM8.20 instead of RM8 previously. If they can spend RM20 extra every month for Astro B.yond, I think they don’t mind spending extra 2o cents everyday to continue enjoying our Banana Leaf Rice.”

LAUTERS reporters went to some of the Banana Leaf Rice restaurants and interviewed the owners as well as patrons.

“I am giving customers extra piece of papadam today so they won’t feel like they’re overpaying for my Banana Leaf Rice”, said Muthusamy Balachandran, owner of Muthu’s Banana Leaf Restaurant.

“Well, some of my regular customers are complaining about the hike. To ensure that they still patronize my restaurant, I provide free 802.11b WiFi service. So they can go online and surf the internet while enjoying my steaming hot banana leaf rice”.

A customer, who remained anonymous, said that this is sign that cost of living in Malaysia is increasing faster than we expected. He hopes the government will consider listing Banana Leaf Rice under the controlled price items so that any further subsidy will be subjected to government review.

Cows: Don’t Destroy Our Lives !

January 22nd, 2010

(JELUTONG, PENANG, 22 Jan) - When everyone assumed that the dust of the Kampung Buah Lapar case has settled, another round of protest happened early this morning when chief minister of Penang, YAB Lim Guan Eng was making his rounds visiting the residents of the nearby Kampung Buah Per Lier.

A group of cows, previously from the Kampung Buah Lapar site, were gathering in front of the chief minister and his associates, complaining about having no place to continue their livelihood and also the loss of their farms when the original villagers left them to stay in their newly built terrace houses, which costs half a million each.

Cow Pek, 58 year old cow told LAUTERS, “Ever since the villagers left us and our farms destroyed, my wife Cow Boo has been throwing away all her milk everyday as they spoil easily. Without anybody buying her milk, how can I afford to continue our livelihood?”

“Now I don’t even have enough money to subscribe to ASTRO B.Yond even though I have a 42 inch Panasonic Plasma High Definition TV!”

Another protester, SaiMon Cow-el, told reporters that he will be contacting a legal team to help them in their plight.

“There is no way we’re letting this rest so easily. We will fight against the state government!”

The protest however did not affect the chief minister as he and his associates were seen just laughing at the protesters, and walking off without saying anything.

The police were at the scene to maintain control of the scene. The protest was called off peacefully by 4:25pm as most of the cows were rushing back to their various homes to catch “Jangan Simpan Tangismu” series on TV1.

2 hours later during Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s “No to plastic bags, and now say NO to overpriced and rude Char Koay Teow Hawkers at Lorong Selamat” campaign launching ceremony press conference, he was asked by LAUTERS reporter for comments with regards to the protest earlier.

“HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA….’, YAB Lim responded happily.

Kid To Sue Father For Breach of Contract

January 18th, 2010

GEORGETOWN - Year 6 pupil Ali Othman bin Abu Bakar has filed a lawsuit against his own father for failing to meet his end of agreement after he obtained straight As for his UPSR public examinations.

According to his lawyers, Ali’s father has an agreement with him in the beginning of the year in which if he manages to score full distinctions for the public exam, he will be bringing him to Disneyland Iskandar in Johor for the year end holidays. The agreement was alleged to be made as a motivation for Ali to study hard.

“Throughout my school life, I’ve never scored any As for any subjects before. I do not see the benefit of it because I’d rather spend my precious childhood playing Nintendo Wii and updating my Facebook profile.”, Ali said.

“So when the Disneyland offer was made, I was taken by surprise and vowed to study hard.”

“However, when the results came out, my father just congratulated me and tell me to get ready for high school. I felt cheated as I could have used all the time I spent for studying to play Call of Duty 5 and watch more Youtube clips.”

Ali’s father, who declined to be named, vowed that he will challenge the lawsuit in court with his own legal counsel.

“There is no agreement at all! Where is the proof of my promise to Ali? I will see him in court!”, he told reporters when met at his home.

“The truth is, that boy has threatened me that if I don’t bring him to Disneyland at the end of the year, he will quit school and join his Mat Rempit friends!”

The Penang High Court will begin hearing at Feb 18 this year.
