Minutes to Midnight

I been waiting for this for so long.. After 4 years.. Finally Linkin Park come out their new (studio) album.. but it is not the Linkin Park that we know anymore.. No more Mike Shinoda do the rapping Chester Bennington do the chorus.. No more Joseph Kahn spinning the turntable.. their logo also change already.. feel a little bit disappointed.. but anyway they still rocking.. Their first single “What I’ve Done” about the global warning is quite meaningful.. the other song in the album is also quite good.. as good as their previous album but just don’t expect much of Mike Shinoda voice in this album (which might bring some disappointed to LP fans)..

The world is polluted..

When you driving in the morning.. try to open your car window.. what you get is not fresh air.. it is polluted air.. all those black smoke coming out from the lorries and buses will make you dizzy.. suddenly you are wondering.. where are all those nice trees that provide nice oxygen.. they all had been cut down for new land development.. It is the time to plant more trees.. because there is no more fresh air outside..

If everyone is a millionaire..

before reading this please read the interesting blog below "Beware of Prank Lucky Draw"

Imagine your strike four-digit.. or win a lucky draw.. You can enjoy life already.. No need to work so hard already.. No need to do OT already.. No need to being scold by boss already.. No need to wake up early already.. You can buy anything you want already.. You can travel around the world already.. Isn’t that very nice? Why don’t everyone can easily strike four-digit? I was wondering..

Life will be meaningless if you can get rich easily.. When you eating you won’t appreciate what you eat because you are not working hard to buy a good meal.. When you buy things you won’t appreciate what you buying because you are not working hard to buy that valuable thing.. It will be very dull and boring.. Like playing a video game that very easy to win.. You definitely want to adjust it to a harder or more difficult level because it is not challenging at all..

So stop dreamin of getting rich and get back to work.. You don’t realize how meaningful is your life right now..

Beware of Prank Lucky Draw

Caution : Beware of contest offers promising cash prize from unidentified sources

I don't know how many people had been cheated by them.. but i advise you all to be careful not to be cheated by them.. below are the exclusive telephone conversation snipplet between me and them:

Hello I'm calling from a ----- company from Hong Kong.. Can I take some of your time to conduct our survey?

.....
Anyway, you code is ----- when you come here you just give them this code and you will get a free entrance to the entrance.. we hope to see there..
Ok.. See you there

but no one no where is xyz garden is.. so i didn't go to that place on that day..

On that day..
Are you coming? The event is already started and you have won the lucky draw..

Can you come now? you won the prize and you need to come and redeem the prize..
Really? ahh.. do you know how to go to xyz garden? nearby where?
Sorry i don't know.. i not a local people.. i'm not familiar with the road here..
Ok Ok.. i come right now..
I ask again a lot of people.. but still no people know where is xyz garden.. so i didn't go there..

Few day later..
Hello.. I am ----- calling from -----.. you have won our lucky draw.. the prize is RM-----.. we need your full name.. IC number and your bank account number so that we can bank-in the cash prize to your account..
Ok.. My ----- is -----.....

Ok.. we will call you around 10pm tomorrow..

On tomorrow..
Good Morning, Just want to reconfirm your personal details.. Are you ready?
Yes..

That is correct..
Ok, Thank You.. We will bank-in the money in the afternoon.. We will call you once the money has bank-in..
Ohh.. It’s getting excited.. I’m getting rich.. Can resign already.. Richer than boss already..

In the afternoon..
Hello.. We had bank-in the money to your account already.. You will receive your money in an hour.. Hold on a sec.. Ahh.. I’m sorry just now when our man try to bank-in the money he had some problem.. I will try to discuss with him and try to solve this problem..

1/2 hour later..
Ok.. listen carefully.. Your money has been hold by the government because they are suspicious on your bank account.. The only way to convince them is to do a bank transfer using your account to a special account.. It will be --% from the total amount which is RM-----.. You need to do this in half hour..
(this is getting fishy..)
Do you understand?
Yes..
Can you do this in half hour..
I not sure.. but I’ll try my best :-D
WHY??
Becos I need to apply half day leave..
I think that is a very small matter because you can have RM----- for just apply that leave and you no need to work so hard already..
I think it is very troublesome.. becos there got a lot of way to give the prize money.. no need to do this kind of stuff..
Ohh.. you think it is troublesome.. We get all the trouble just for you.. right now you say things like this..
That is not what I mean.. I scared my that the RM---- that I bank-in will lost..
You didn’t trust us?? Believe me.. we are not people like that..
Ok.. Ok.. Ok.. I’ll take a plane and go to your place at ----- to see you.. I want to say thank you to you face-to-face and take the prize money directly from you..
You didn’t trust me??
No.. No.. No..
(I switch off the handphone..)

On the next day..
They call again.. didn’t layan them..

On the next day..
It Saturday.. bank is closed.. If they call they sure kena..

On Monday..
They call again.. What the ----..

The moral of the story.. Don’t be a nice people.. Never pick a “Withheld” call..

When technologies failed

You try call someone.. but the suddenly your handphone battery is low.. you can’t make a phone call… You try to send an e-mail.. but the internet connection is not stable.. you can’t send an e-mail… You want to go somewhere else.. but your car suddenly broke down.. you can’t go anywhere… In life we rely too much on technology.. but sometime technology will have it’s bad day.. it is frustrating.. maybe you will thinking of finding another way.. hmm… what about use manual.. no way!
