10 ways to stop those credit card sales

Well folks, I found this on my email, so I thought I could share via here. Have fun!

1. After the telemarketer finishes speaking, ask him/her to marry you.
2. Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment, and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back.
3. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.
4. Tell them it is dinner time, BUT ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.
5. Tell them that all business goes through your agent, and hand the phone to your five year old child.
6. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up...louder. ..louder. ..louder!
7. Tell them to speak very slowly because you want to write every word down.
8. If they start out with, "How are you today?", say "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems.... ........"
9. Cry out in surprise, "Helen, is that you? I've been hoping you'd call! How is the family?" When they insist they are not Helen, tell them to stop joking. This works especially well if the telemarketer is really MALE.
10. Tell the HSBC call center guy to call on your office number. - and give him the CITIBANK call center number.

Becoming Vegetarian?

Sorry folks! Been away for quite sometime. Primary due to I was having my eye surgical in July(have to rest for 1 month) then follow by my granny left the world incident. Anyway, it is over now but not the 49 days and 100 days yet. In fact, I had become a vegetarian perhaps either for 49 days or 100 days. In fact, this was the first time I ate vegetarian food for days.

For the last couple of weeks, I was busy as well looking for solution to cure cancer. I often heard doctor say "Those who got cancer problem, and can't do chemotherapy, radiation therapy and etc, it means your time has come for you to prepare your will". As for me, i believe that the doctor is only follow procedure inside the box. They did not think outside the box. And you know what? I discover a Cancer Care centre who heal cancer patient using natural herbs especially made from rodent tuber. In Malay, they called the herbs as 'keladi tikus'. Eventually, I also read a blog of an microbiologist Indonesian able to save his wife from breast cancer using rodent tuber.

In fact, every human and animals has cancer cell the moment they were born. This cell will continue develop and multiply accordingly. If your body is free from toxin, the process of developed cancerous cell will not happen. Only when the food you take has too much toxin like carcinogen, and your body system unable to resist it, cancerous cell will develops and continue to spread. Detoxification your body is one way tominimize cancerous cell from developed.

No matter what, prevention is still better than cure. And the only way prevention is cut down meat and eat more fruits and vegetables, take less process food and fast food. Not only you will live a healthy and happy life but you will also cut down medical cost.

St Anne Day.

St. Anne Day is a day (often held in the month of July) where catholics christian will be celebrating feast for Blessed Mary Virgin. The catholics and the non christian will light a white candle and pray for a wish while walking towards the church and handled it to the care taker. Some even brought fragrance flowers too.

In Malaysia, the only place that have grand celebration for St Anne's day is in Bukit Mertajam, Seberang Perai Tengah. That's my sweet hometown. The church was more than 100 years old and was maintained and renovated few years back. Regardless of whether the people are catholic christians, hindus, buddhist, free thinker and etc (except Muslim), they will still gather at the St Anne church to bring out the atmosphere.

The statue of the Virgin Mary will then parade along the big field of the church compound for the people to see or for their prayers before it was send back to the church. The event took place mostly at around 7-8 pm. Then follow by a group of choirs who sang Christian songs. All the christians songs is very touchy... if you know what I mean. If you don't, try to go to your nearest church on Sunday morning and listen to it.

How to get there? Actually there are many ways. However, what I say here is the basic route I used to take. If you come from Butterworth/Penang, follow Bukit Mertajam signboard. Go all the way straight till you reach BM Plaza. Once you see BM Plaza, turn right and cross the road then turn left. You can park your car at BM Plaza or find a good spot for parking. You can't drive to the church because there will be a road block somewhere in Jalan Kulim. Therefore, you have to walk there. You can go in a group or with your love's one. At least you don't feel boring throughout the journey. From here, if you do not know the way, follow the crowd. You will get there too. Once you pass by Taman Sentosa, don't be surprise to see along the way is like pasar malam. This are the place where you can see people do business by the road side selling all kinds of stuff. For food, hmm.... all kinds from Penang Char Koay Teow, Kari Mee, Hokkien Mee(actually Prawn Mee), Penang Laksa, drinks, ice cream and lots of more. And a lot of Indians selling their own culture stuff... Once you see all this, you know that you are close to the church. Continue on till you reach the church. From there, get a white candle, light it up, say your prayer and walk up the stair, enter the church and give it to the people in charge. Back of the church, you can find holy water from the well. You can drink it or take it home. Hey who knows after you drink, you got multi blessed.

I've been to this church many years ago during my school and college days. Ever since I set foot in KL for working life, I never had the chance to go back there. Today I receive a call from my brother telling me that he is going to St Anne on 28th July. Boy, it sure reflect me all those old days memories with all my school friends.

This year the celebration is held on 28th July 2007, means by 2 weeks from now. If you haven't been, pay a visit there and get some blessing from Virgin Mary. If you go in couple, even better.

Super Broadband is coming!

Soon, we will have a chance to experience mega bandwidth using fibre optic across the nation and its brought to you by Telekom Malaysia. Bandwidth speed is 100Mbps. I know in Technology Park, they use fibre optic across the building. And it was extremely fast. Download of a file of 200M-300M just takes 1 -2 minutes. Much better than streamyx. I know because I was working there once. Once this is in place, more business man will be able to conduct businesses via internet.And more blogger will join the community. Bingo! This is awesome, man.

However, pricing is not determine yet. Hope is not too expensive. And I wonder what kind of equipment you had to buy to install this. Once I had found out, I will post it here.

They will start implmenting from high building first like condo, apartment and etc then follow by ground houses. So those of you haven't bought a home and start look for condo.

Joke Of The day

This is what happen when you ask IT Expert to sing Songs:

YESTERDAY
By : IT Beatles

Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay
Now my database has gone away
Oh I believe in yesterday.....

Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be
And there's a milestone hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly
I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say
Now all my data's gone and I long for yesterday-ay-
ay-ay

Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away
I knew my data was all here to stay
Now I believe in yesterday

Malaysia Poetry

Progress is not solely about prosperity
Nor buildings that look pretty
You may have the KLCC
But some places like Penang are still dirty
So you are still a 3rd world country because of your mentality

You try to beat the queue to get a taxi
And don't even bother about road courtesy
Not to mention parking indiscriminately
Without signalling you overtake randomly
And abusing lanes for emergency
Rising deaths on the roads is how u celebrate festivity

You created the MSC
To emulate Silicon Valley
You talk about high technology
To preach about the PC
But yet broadband is denied to many

You also can't supply stable electricity
Your roads have potholes and are bumpy
And tyres fall off your LRT
So this is Malaysian quality

Let's create the best schools, roads and toilets in the country
Are what Malaysia Boleh should strive to be
But instead Malaysia Boleh is so funny

You break records just to make yourself feel happy
Decades passed but this mentality I still see
Will this carry on till the next century?
Or will this change when we turn 80?

You are helpless and just let it be
Let it be
Will tomorrow be better for you and me?
15 years from now come 2020
if this goes on you will still be
just another 3rd world country because of your mentality.

I Need Surge Protector

Yesterday was raining... not a heavy one of course. I was watching some movies thru my computer. All of sudden.... PIANG! A loud one. One strike out of no where, no warning as well. I jump from my seat and fell off the chair. Half of my spirit gone while I still breath heavily. I thought I have lost part of my soul. I wake up. Look around. Damned! The whole house is dark. No electricity as the power meter has a jump circuit. I said Shit! This time my computer mother board definitely burned.

No other choice, start investigate the jump circuit. Press the button and pull down the switch to turn it on. The house light is on again except my computer. Open up the CPU and checked for the burning power switch. It seems ok... but why it was not on. Check the cable wire from point to point. You know what I discover? The fius of the power cable is burn. Still anxious over the damned computer, quickly find another spare fius and replace it.

Phew! My computer is safe. Save another few thousand bucks. However, I may escape this time... Perhaps the next time, it will definitely BLOWS UP, if it happens again. Today I am gonna get my SURGE PROTECTOR just in case. I advise any of you who use computer during raining season, get a surge protection. It is ok to spend a couple of ringgit than spend thousands of ringgit to get new computer. As in Malaysia particularly in Selangor, lightining is unpredictable. Even no rain, sometimes lightning strike out of the blue for no particular reason.

Get A Surge Protector to be save for all electrical appliances.

Difference between Love and Attachment

Love is 'I want you to be happy.'
Attachment is 'I want you to make me happy.'

3 things I learn from Spiderman 3 movie

Finally, I manage to see 'Spiderman 3' which was shown in cinema long long time ago. Guess I am a little bit out dated. But that's okay. At least I got to enjoy the show.

I really like the plot of this movie. If you put aside all the actions of the swinging spidey, sandman and the flying goblin and really focus on the plot, you can see clearly the moral judgement inside this movie. It is about vengeance, anger, hatred, choices and forgiveness.

The plot started with Harry Osborne who is not willing to let go his vengeance over Peter Parker, after he discover Peter was responsible for his fathers death. Unfortunately, his vengeance had lift up his anger and hatred in which later led him into his own destruction.

It is the same for those in real life. If someone had hurt us, we must learn to let it go by looking at the positive side. By letting it go, we not only found happiness but also we able to lift the burden inside our minds.

The second thing I learn is choices. It is true that people in real life have choices to choose of what they want to be, either be good or bad. However, the choices is relying on your mind to take the action. Your mind is your destiny.

Third thing is forgiveness. We are born as humans and is not perfect. There are times we make mistake in decision making. And sometimes, things happen even we don’t plan it. Just like in the movie when Flint Marko(Sandman) did not plan to kill Peter’s Uncle Ben but it happen by accident when his partner shake his hand to trigger the gun fire. So, the most important thing to make things right again is to let go all the pain, then forgive yourself first. Then learn to forgive others.

Sometimes I believe stories regardless whether it derives from comics, cartoons or anime, they are not just cartoon. They do have some moral teaching background either to the children or adult. It is just not another movie.

Jokes of the Day

1. Do you know why girls don't keep thier mobiles in shirt pocket?

Geez, I am Sick

Is IPhone Great?

IPhone recently launched by Apple on 29th June 2007, to be exact at 6pm in California, USA. It claims to be a new revolutionary phone which boasted to be the best mobile phone and ipod in the telecommunications market. And its features on multi touch sensitive screen interface. It means that there will be no physical button for you to press. It is all done via touch screen. You can browse internet, use as mobile phone, conferencing, call holding, call merging, caller ID, and integration with other cellular network features, check or send email and etc.

Unfortunately, it has quite number of limitations. If you are interested to find out the limitations, please click here.

After I have read the limitations, I think iPhone is not great after all. So what do you think?

Is it true about married life?

I heard some philosopher said

"Before married, man in control"
"After married woman will take over to control".

Perhaps, I guess this is not only happens to human, perhaps animals too.

Being Attacked By Malware imsmain.exe

Today, all of the sudden, my AVG Antivirus alert me that I got infected by malware imsmain.exe. I used AVG to quarantine it. It didnt work at all. All I could have said 'Holy shit!. and wondering how did this trojan came into my PC in the first place and now AVG unable to kill it as well. I was like in a panic situation.

I press Ctrl-Alt-Del to activate the Task Manager in Windows and end the process.. You know what? This virus, the moment you end the process, it will re-appear again in task manager. It is a very stubborn virus. I thought this time I really had to "eat banana" already.

After think for hours and search the internet without any clues, I decided to use another method to restore the system. So what I did was:

1. reboot the system.
2. press F8 to get the windows prompt and choose safe mode with network. It takes a while before boot into windows XP.
3. Once you are in safe mode, go to My Computer.
4. Locate for the directory called "Video ActiveX Access" and delete it. Make sure you clear your recycle bin as well.
5. Next, click start button and select run. Type in regedit.
6. Once the regedit is on, press ctrl-F. Key in imsmain.exe and enter. Once found the entries, delete the entries.
7. Once completed, reboot your computer in normal mode.
8. Run your antivirus,anti-malware ,anti-spy again to ensure there is no more infections.

Joke Of The Day

Today I receive a joke from a friend thru email. So as a start, perhaps I would like to share it on this blog so that everyone can have some fun. It goes like this:

A hunter kills a deer and brings it home.

He decides to clean and serve the deer meat for supper.
He knows his kids are fussy eaters, and won't eat it
if they know what it is so he doesn't tell them.

His little boy, Jimmy, keeps asking him,

"What's for supper, dad?"

"You'll see" he replies.

They start eating supper and his daughter keeps
asking him what they are eating.

"Ok", says her dad, "Here's a hint. It's what your
mother sometimes calls me."

His daughter screams.........
"Don't eat it Jimmy! It's an asshole!"
