Back to Normal

OK, I have gotten my laptop's new power adaptor yesterday afternoon. Back to normal blogging. Stay tuned for more interesting postings.

Just prior to this posting, I was with 2 other church members working on a surprise to be unveiled during this coming Sunday morning service in conjunction with our church's 19th Anniversary celebration. Can't list out now as some church members may be reading it here. But surely it will get the whole congregation laughing.

Wanted to pay a visit to the gym yesterday evening but the muscles were still in pain due to Tuesday night's workout. Got lots of unused muscles all this while.....hehe but painful means it was effective.

Have to administer some emails before going to sleep.

How to Call for Police Back-Up

Malaysia's current safety issue in certain states is a cause for concern. Have you made any emergency calls to the police before? What was the operator's response to your call for help? Below is a true story that happened in USA:-

George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and he said "no". Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. "Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

Tyre Clampings at McDonald's

Received this via an email. Is it really happening in McDonald's of Malaysia?
----------------------------
McDonald's Autocity in Penang has a new rule on their parking lots (maybe this is not a new rule just I did not noticed on that). Anyone who parks their cars at their parking lots (even though you are their customers) for more than 2 hours, their tires will be clamped. Subsequently, you need to pay RM50 just to open the car clamp. They have displayed the notice regarding this and there will be no warning letter issue out even though you have done it on first time (no chance given).

McDonald's Greenland (in Penang too) has the same rule as well. If you park yr car more than certain period, you will be fined. However, this franchise will first issue the warning letter before clamp your tire (my friend has experienced it). I heard from McD Autocity's staff that there is one more "private car park" in Butterworth which do not allow their customers to park their car more than 45 minutes. Else, your car's tire will be clamped and you will be fined just to open the lock.

Thus, in future, while you park your car in any McD franchise, pls be aware on the sign board (it is hardly to be noticed due to the color tone and the landscaping around). They did not have any standardization on this rule for all McD franchises. Feedback already provided to their head quarter but there is no response from them.

Thanks and hope that you all still can enjoy yr meal in McD.
----------------------------
Together with the email, an attachment of the receipt issued for the RM50 tyre clamping. As this lousy laptop don't any picture softwares (as compared to mine), I will post that receipt in due course.

Show and Tell

The teacher asked the students to bring one electrical appliance for “Show & Tell” and the next day every kid had something. The teacher asks Wendy: What did you bring?

“I brought a Walkman.”
“And what is it for?”
“You can listen to music with it!”
“That’s nice Wendy. What did you bring, Kenny?”
“I brought a ‘letrical can opener, it opens cans!”
“Well done, Kenny.”
“Umm, Johnny, I see u didn’t bring anything!”
“Yes, I did. It’s in the hall.”

So the entire class goes to the hallway.
“Umm, Johnny, what is that?”
“It’s a heart/lung machine hospital use to keep your heart going.”
“Whoaa. What did your father say about you bringing this?”
“He said,’AAAARRRGGHHHH!!!!’”.

Awaiting Power Cable

Yeah.....still awaiting for the power cable. Logging in via another laptop where you won't believe the state of this laptop. Almost considered a scrap if I may call it that way. The screen's almost coming off, held on by just 4 screws only...... unbelievable but could still be used lah to post this at least.... hehe. And the best part, the sole USB port was not working, now how am I supposed to connect it to my external hard disk..........

Could be getting the new power cable by today/tomorrow ..... enjoyed my weekend with an Saturday afternoon meeting at church to discuss on the Christmas Dinner (to be held in church premise) and a Christmas Carnival (held elsewhere). More info on this soon.

At the same time, I'm working on the Christmas Drama 2007's script. Hopefully can finalise this by this week and get the whole drama cast members in order and start rehearsing their roles from then on. All blog readers are most welcome to see the drama which would be a 4 part series being acted out on 4 Sundays in December 2007.

Went for a wedding dinner at Holiday Inn, Glenmarie yesterday night. Known this guy for almost 20 years and a gang of us (some knew him for coming 30 years). All the best to him and his wife. His dad told us "he's way behind you guys".

Uncle Sam and Osama

Uncle Sam and Osama decided to settle the whole war with a dogfight. They would each have 5 years to breed the best fighting dog and whoever's dog won would dominate the world.

Osama found the meanest Doberman females in the world and bred them with the meanest wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter. After 5 years, they came up with the biggest, meanest dog ever.

When the day came for the big dogfight, Uncle Sam showed up with a strange looking animal. It was a 9-foot long Dachshund. When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of it's cage and slowly waddled over toward Osama's dog. Osama's dog snarled and leaped out of it's cage and charged the American dog--but when it got close to the American dog, the Dachshund opened it's mouth and ate Osama's dog whole.

Osama said, “We don't understand how this could have happened, we had our best people working for 5 years with the meanest dogs and the meanest wolves."

Uncle Sam said, “That’s nothing, we had our best plastic surgeons working for 5 years to make that alligator look like a weenie dog."
