Sumpah Melayu: Dato Onn

I wonder if these words still stands. Something to ponder huh?

Have a Happy Christmas.

ps: Did you know in UK, they say Happy Christmas instead of Merry Christmas?

pps: Did you also know the celebration of Christmas was to commemorate the birth of Jesus? Kinda like Maulud Nabi and Jesus is our prophet too. So is it HARAM to celebrate it?

RAPOO Mouse Driver for Mac

After spending hours at Digital Mall PJ, I finally decided to buy a non-Logitech mouse. This is the 2nd time I shed away from Logitech, reason being, it’s pricey and the current line up isn’t alluring.

So I bought a cheap alternative, the RAPOO 3200. It’s a fifth of my last Logitech mouse price, which has served me well (and still do). The biggest problem I had was, it does not support Mac. There goes another ‘meRAPOO’ investment. Yeah, Mac was a lousy bet but I’m kinda stuck to it. Anyway, all the buttons weren’t functioning, the back and the forward especially.

After ogling  the web, I found one app that could enhance the lightweight mouse, it’s called SteerMouse. After setting the app, I can configure what each button does (Windows is plug and play). Another one not to be missed, is the MagicPrefs, it’s specifically for Magic mouse but can also work for trackpad etc.

ps: Clearing up my holiday balance.. wee~

Taik SEO

Deep down, sebenarnya aku agak marah dengan taik SEO (kalau kau tak tahu apa itu SEO, sila tanya pada burung hud-hud aka Pak Cik Google). Bila aku search specific term aku nak, kuar link tak relevant langsung. Memang jamban tahap Gaban, sampah dalam internet!

Aku pon tak paham la, kenapa korang nak kecoh pasal Ariff Alfian yg gay kahwin lelaki di geraja pakai baju Melayu. Apa yang sensasi sangat? Korang seronok nak mengutuk dan mengeji ke? Perlu ke semua ini? Asal cerita seks, perempuan-lelaki atau lelaki-lelaki, Melayu cepat je nak ambil port. Biarlah dia dengan hidup dia.

Aku taulah hangpa gila trafik, tapi tak payah la tulis omong kosong pasal benda yang kau sendiri pon tak tahu apa kejadah nate bewok tu. Kalau ko nak sangat duit, pergilah join MLM, jual gelang ke, sabun ke. Kan mudah!

Orang Melayu ni, pantang tok nenek kalau kena tegur. Ego besar paus biru, semangat tak nak kalah. Bila puji lebih-lebih dia reply “eh takde laah”, “eh mana ada, biasa-biasa je”. Pehal plak? Orang puji, ko tanak. Orang tegur, pon tanak. Mungkin penampar barangkali lebih digemari. Aduyai..

We Want Yamaha XJ6 Naked

My latest rambling about superbike was the ER6-N of ER6-F. Unfortunately, after hearing the 2 cylinder engine, I was no longer interested in the model. I mean no offense to present owner of ER6-N, but the sound is somewhat inferior to 4 cylinder engine.

This is the naked version. Such beast can only be tamed by a MAN!

Presently, Yamaha Malaysia manufactures the XJ6 Diversion. This is the one with fairings and seriously it looks rather timid for a super bike. A super bike has to be aggressive looking. In a semi-crotch position waiting to attack, unfortunately, Diversion lacks that.

I wrote an email to Yamaha Malaysia, asking them to import the Naked model. Their reply was if they see a sizable market and demand, they will do it. So I’m doing everyone in Malaysia a favor by starting a list to register your interest. You can do so by filling in the form below.

Alternatively, you can share the form by using this link: http://bit.ly/xj6naked

Don’t worry about getting pushed to buy, and I will definitely not solicit your email.

ps: Good news is, my wife allowed me to get the bike :)

Perbaharui Lesen Memandu

I finally did mine today, though a wee late by a day. I renewed my driving license at the Pos Malaysia. It was the quickest painless process I went through.

You all know that starting from next year, the expiry of your license falls on your birthday. In some ways, I do think that’s a bad birthday present, but in many, it surely helps you to remember when your license will expire.

As far as I know, the charge incurred to renew your driving license is RM 30 per year. Since they need to contra the remaining days to your birthday, I was slapped with RM 70 plus for 2 years. Now my driving license will expire on my 31st birthday (Damn I’m old!), and that’s 2014. Long way to go.

Note: Did you know you can get locked up if your license expires?
