MAS Enrich Redemption - Look what i've got

For the past 8 years, ever since i joined the workforce in 2001, i have been actively traveling for my job.

Initially i flew a lot on Singapore Airlines (SIA) and have accumulated lots of points on Krisflyer but ended up not using any of them.

Why?
Because even if i redeem the points for flights, i still need to pay a lot for the airport tax and fuel surcharge. I mean, those alone costs hundreds of ringgits, eg. the last time i wanted to redeem flights from KL to Singapore, the surcharge and tax itself cost about RM 125 per person. Since i am so kamsiap financially wise, i have always thought that getting a bus or a train, which would only be a fraction of the cost, is the better option.

Anyway, those just got burnt away (expired lahhhh)

So back to the point.

Throughout the years, i flew a lot on Malaysia Airlines (MAS) as well. And have accumulated lots of Enrich points. I have not redeemed any since day 1, so when i checked my points last months, surprisingly i have accumulated up to approx 51,800 points.

That would amount around RM 740 (per enrich redemption average 70 points per RM 1)

So it was time to splurge.

I promptly checked the Enrich website to see what goodies i can get.
Imagine my horror when most of the things that can be redeemed ranges from cosmetics, fragrances, and jewellery.

Well, lady luck smiling to my wife i guess.

So i asked her what she wanted and she picked these:

1) Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Duo Value Set: RM 65 - 4550 points


2) Lancôme Travel Must Have Beauty: RM 172 - 12040 points


3) Dior Diorissime Makeup Pallete: RM 200 - 14000 points


4) Cristix Mikimomo Mini Massager: RM 299 - 20930 points


Well, actually i insisted on getting the mini massager for her, so she could use it whenever she has her back pain. Hope this will help relieve her pain, however little it may be.

So i collected them from the Subang Airport Complex B the other day.



The Lancôme Travel Must Have Beauty. Nice packaging. Looks exquisite.





Dior Diorissime Makeup Pallete. Very nice packaging as well. She has always wanted a complete makeup set.

Fuyoh, Dior somore.....)




Cristix Mikimomo Mini Massager. I wanted to say great packaging, but i could not. Imagine my surprise when the staff presented this to me without any packaging.

So i asked,

"This one no package one ar?"

"Sorry no"

"Then got any box can put in ar?"

"Sorry no"

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Duo Value Set. Erm, first impression for this one is.... very small, very small indeed.

How small you ask?



The size of a cigarette box lo (or a deck of cards for the non-smokers)

So small leh....


Now i have a remaining balance of 333 points.

I guess now is the time to start flying again.

Krispy Kreme 1st prize winner - 65 hours wait

Would you wait 65 hours under the heat and rain, just to get doughnuts??!?!

A follow-up from my earlier post.


Well, apparently that is what took Joey Tham to get that 1st prize, 1 year supply of doughnuts (1236 doughnuts to be exact)

She and her friends banded together to claim the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th prize in a sweep-all fashion. (fuyoh, no give chance at all)

I thought people would start camping at 6:00 AM that morning.
Or worst, start the night before at 10:00 PM.

But who knew they would be crazy enough to start camping since Friday evening.
That totally blew the competition away.

Which makes me wonder, how did they decide to give Joey the 1st prize anyway?
I mean, they basically camp there together, so i would assumed all of them spent the same amount of time there.

Well, it is their piece of the doughnut, so congrats to them. May the doughnut force be in your stomach with you.

Krispy Kreme lovers on 65-hour vigil to win 1,236 doughnuts
by Isaac Hiew

Berjaya Corporation Executive Director Datuk Francis Lee presenting grand prize to SMK Seri Suria student Joey Tham Li-Yen the "Gold Ticket" of winning a year's supply of free Krispy Kreme Original Glaze doughnuts for being the very first Malaysian Customer of Krispy Kreme.

KUALA LUMPUR (April 27, 2009): When Joey Tham and her friends heard about Kripsy Kreme Doughnuts’s offer of a year’s supply for the first customer at its flagship outlet’s inaugural opening at Berjaya Times Square, they decided to give their best shot.

Tham and her friends, Alex Leong, Bilal Ahmee, Vincent Chen, Liang Jo Yi and Nicholas Yap, all 17, all from Ulu Langat then put into action a plan to win.

The plan led to them camping in front of the store for 65 hours since 5pm last Friday, fighting off mosquitoes at night and bearing the heat during the day and even missing their baths, -- taking turns to zealously guard their position at the head of the queue while waiting for the iconic Hot Light to be turned on for the first time today.

It was well worth the wait. Their patience and tenacity paid off. The school-mates won to top six prizes offered by Krispy Kreme for the first 300 customers, sweeping the Gold, Silver, Bronze tickets and three others, which will give them a total haul of 1,236 free doughnuts.

The Gold Ticket entitles the winner to free supply of one dozen fresh Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnuts per week for a year, while the silver ticket awards a dozen doughnuts for 26 weeks and the bronze, for 13 weeks.

The fourth to the 100th place customers a dozen doughnuts free for four weeks while the 101st to 300th customer received a special Krispy Kreme mug.

Would you have been that stupid done that?

MAS Let's Go Now contest

I am sure many are aware of the on-going MAS Let's Go Now contest that had been running for the past few weeks.

The requirements are simple: submit a photo related to that week's theme, and write an interesting/witty caption for it. The top 5 pic will be selected by the panel of judges and is open for public voting.

Captivating prizes as below, for each of the waves:

PRIZES

• Wave 1 four (4) days three (3) nights holiday package for two (2) to Bangkok
• Wave 2 five (5) days four (4) nights holiday package for two (2) to Perth
• Wave 3 five (5) days four (4) nights holiday package for two (2) to Delhi
• Wave 4 five (5) days four (4) nights holiday package for two (2) to Beijing
• Wave 5 six (6) days four (4) nights holiday package for two (2) to London
• Wave 6 six (6) days four (4) nights holiday package for two (2) to Rome

I have earmarked this contest ever since i saw it on the newspaper, but upon further understanding of the terms and conditions, i have decided to forgo the entry for wave 1, basically to observe the quality of the contest submission.

And besides, who wants to go to Bangkok anyway, at least not for the time being.

So wave 1 ended on 21 Apr 09, and i decided to check out the competition from the contest page above.
And for the first 10 minutes i was staring blankly into the screen, wondering where are the 5 finalists' pictures open for voting.

See if you could tell me where to click.




No? Yeah, i figured so.

Then only i realized that the Vote link will only appear on the subsequent pages, eg. after you click on the Stories or Terms and Conditions link.
So.... no Vote link from the Main page, but got link from the sub pages.

Hm. Is that an easter egg?

Ok, fine. Then you click on the Vote link and it requires that you login (or create a MyStar account if you don't already have one) first.

Then comes the voting page.
You see 5 pictures relating to the that week's theme.

But wait, spot anything missing?



Where are those witty and interesting captions that were supposed to go with those great pics?
Are we just voting based on the pictures alone?
Are those captions merely to get into the finals?
For the panel of judges' eyes only?

Man, die lah. Like that how to check out the competition?

Who wants a Camry?

Well, who doesn't?

Perak to auction off Camrys

IPOH: The Perak state government will auction off the 16 Toyota Camry 2.4 cars that were used by the former executive councillors under the previous coalition government.

According to a tender notice sent to the advertising division of a Malay daily here yesterday, the auction would be held from May 4 to 18.

The tender statement issued by the Perak State Secretariat yesterday said the auction would be carried out at the car park of the Bangunan Perak Darul Ridzuan here, from 9.30am until 4pm.

The statement said the vehicles could be bought either in bulk or individually at the reserve price of RM148,000 each. A brand new Camry 2.4 costs RM170,000.

The cars, with registration numbers AGS10, AFD11, AFD22, AFD33, AFD55, AFD66, AFD77, AFD88, AFD99, AFD333, AFD999, AFF33, AFF88, AFF99, AGS828 and AEU606, were all registered on Jan 9, this year.

The statement also said that all the cars were bought new and used between one and two months with low mileage and were under three-year warranty by the manufacturer.

Anyone intending to buy the cars must submit their offer before noon on May 18. — Bernama

Starting from RM148,000 each!
Dateline before May 18, so start collecting your funds now.

On another note, next thing you'll hear is the BN reps will start buying back Proton Perdanas for their official use, with the pretext of support the buy Malaysia campaign.

Then when the maintenance bills start piling high, and when investigated, they will probably blame back Proton for such a high-maintenance car, yadda, yadda, yadda, and then change it back to a fleet of Camrys.

Or worst still if they decides to change to Mercedes Benz cars!

Ghost on my chest - Shocking true story

On one quiet night, you were sleeping soundly like a baby. Everything was calm and peaceful. You might even be having a sweet dream which you were enjoying.

All of a sudden, you felt a huge pressure being placed on your chest area. You were jolted awake due to this, and your senses tried to make sense of your surrounding. You eyes opened and scouted the room, revealing the familiar sight of your own bedroom. You ears listened intensely for anything unusual, but heard nothing.

That was when you tried to sit up, to wipe the sweat off your forehead, when you realize that you can't move. Your arms, legs, your whole body, all paralyzed. You clinched your fist, but realized that it is not responding. All your muscles refused to follow your command.

The pressure on your chest gets stronger, and you struggle to breath. You tried hard to gasp for air but can't. You tried to scream, but nothing comes out. You knew you screamed with all your might, but no sound was heard. You heart beats faster as you began to feel a presence around you. Something sinister is lurking in the dark, you can't see it clearly. But you KNOW someone is there, looking at you struggling.

The harder you struggle, the harder the pressure gets. You were almost out of air. Your mind wanders around, thinking what was going on. And then your body began to move again. And you sat up in bed, sweating all over and wondering....

Is a ghost really sitting on your chest?


Source


Well, not really.

I have had such encounters during the past. I am sure many have had them.

The earliest i remembered was when we were still staying in the old house in Subang Jaya. I should have been around 17 or 18 in age. That night when i had this, i was scared shit. It was the most horrendous nightmare i ever had. Because it was a first encounter, i had no idea what was going on. Did we really had ghosts in the house? I told my parents, but of course they just brush it off as a dream.

I then had a second encounter the next few days. Shit. 2 times within the same week. Bad huh? Still same as the first time, i woke up sweating like crazy, and could not sleep afterwards.

That was when i had enough. I knew i need to know what is going on. Remember those horror stories your friends told you before about ghost babies sitting on your chest, or bouncing up and down on your chest? I am sure many would logically think that is the cause of the misery. But of course i was skeptical and hit the Internet for answers.

That was when i found out something called Sleep Paralysis.
The descriptions, symptoms, signs all seemed to point to this.

Sleep Paralysis happens because you suddenly woke up while you still are in REM state, which your body has been paralyzed so that you don't act out as in your dreams (imagine giving a flying kick to your partner, in case you were dreaming of a kung fu action scene hehehehe). So basically your brain suddenly becomes lucid so you are aware of whats going on in your surroundings, but just can't move. That is the cause of your fear.

Realizing this, the next time i had sleep paralysis, i did not put up a struggle, but instead just try to relax and let it pass. I know that i am not really short of breath, so i did not really struggle for air. And just bear with the pressure on the chest, and take slow and deep breaths, to remain calm. And after a while, you begin to feel your body again, and it ends.

And the sinister phantom in the darkness, i would imagine that to be the Devil himself.

"Well, just ignore him" i told myself.

And the next time he visited me, we had tea together.

So, suffice to say, the Devil himself is no longer an issue to me.


But yesterday i had sleep paralysis again. And i woke up sweating all over.
And after that i did not managed to get much sleep.
I was too afraid and kept waking up to check my surroundings.

Why you asked?

Cos female ghosts in red dress scares the shit out of me!

Oh no, another by-election!

Found out yesterday that we will have another by-election.

Excerpt from TheStar.com.my

Penang Speaker confirms receiving copy of letter from Penanti assemblyman

GEORGE TOWN: Voters in Penanti state constituency in Seberang Perai will go through another by-election in under eight months.

Former Penang Deputy Chief Minister (DCM) 1 Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin, who is assemblyman for the state seat located in Permatang Pauh parliamentary constituency which had a by-election on Aug 26, quit as assemblyman yesterday.

Penang Speaker Abdul Halim Hussin confirmed receiving a faxed copy of Mohammad Fairus’ resignation letter but refused to reveal who the letter was from.

“We will inform the Election Commission (EC) as soon as possible,” he said, when asked to confirm that the Penanti seat had been vacated, adding that he would provide more details today.......

What's up with the politics nowadays?
We have had one too many by-election burdens recently.

The first one was feverish and exciting.
The second one was ok.
Then the next got tiresome. (yeah, we all know who will win anyway)
Then another seemed to dragged on and on.
And now, not another one?!?!?!

It seems like we get a by-election for almost every imaginable reason.

Someone died. By-election.
Someone resigned to make way for husband. By-election.
Someone was about to be charged with corruption. Resign and fled country. By-election.
Someone resigned. By-election.
Someone caught with compromising pictures. Almost resigned but did not. Almost by-election.

Whats next?

Someone took your parking spot. By-election?
Someone honk you on the road. By-election?
Someone resigns and go sell char kway teow. By-election?
Someone puff smoke in your face. By-election?

Man, what the heck am i talking? *brain freeze*


Ok, so that's not the end of the story.
Fairus somore threaten PKR not to main-main with him, else he will expose the juicy details on the internal operations of PKR.

Hm, i bet now the BN folks are getting ready the popcorn to enjoy the show.

The Fish Lesson - What do you learn from it?

Was forum browsing at Photo Malaysia when i saw something interesting and would like to share.
Source from here:

A Fish Lesson
You heard of the FISH Philosophy ... now there is a fresh fish lesson.

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price.

So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish. So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh:

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

IMPORTANT LESSON

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired & dull? So we need a SHARK in our life to keep us awake and moving. Basically in our lives, sharks are new challenges to keep us active and taste better.....The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a challenge. If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are Conqueror. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun and you are alive!

Ok, after reading the above, what are your thoughts?

I myself have to fully agreed with the lesson above. We need competition to get better. Knowing that someone else out there could challenge your status quo, you will put up more of a fight. We strive to do better, in order to avoid being eliminated.

If we take out the competition, then we get above our heads and lose focus. Then we slack.
We get comfortable and refuse to work harder. Thats how we just die off silently.

I am sure this is the general sentiment. Pretty much of common sense if you ask me.
True to the Survival of the Fittest school of thought.

But of course there are always exceptions in life.

.
.
.

The more competition it is exposed to, the weaker it gets.
And simply just die off silently.

Krispy Kreme Donuts - First in line?

Was reading the newspaper and saw that Krispy Kreme is coming to Malaysia. Well, i heard the rumours a couple of months back, but i guess this time is it certain.
And it is opening on the 27th Apr 2009 at Berjaya Times Square.

And whats the big deal with donuts huh? We have J.CO, Big Apple, etc, all trying to stuff us silly to make us fat Malaysians? hehehehe

Excerpt from TheStar.com.my

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts to open store in Berjaya and Mega mall

By LEE KIAN SEONG

Doughnut chain plans second outlet in Mid Valley by May

KUALA LUMPUR: Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, a well-known US brand, will open its first flagship store in Berjaya Times Square on April 27.

Berjaya Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Berjaya Corp Bhd, is the operator of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts chain in Malaysia.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc international marketing manager Carlo Fajardo said the company planned to open the second outlet in Mid Valley Megamall in May.

“The investment per outlet varies from RM500,000 to RM1mil depending on the store concept and location. Our target locations are shopping malls, transportation hubs, office buildings and colleges,” he told StarBiz.

The 1,600-sq-ft full-service Krispy Kreme store in Berjaya Times Square will feature the “Doughnut Theatre” where customers can watch the doughnut-making process.

“The store’s doughnut-making machine can produce and glaze nearly 18,000 doughnuts a day.

“We will give away the ‘Golden Ticket’ prize to our first customer in line to purchase a dozen Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnuts when the door opens at 10am on April 27,” he said.

The winner will win a year’s supply of Original Glazed doughnuts.

Fajardo said the company was optimistic on the demand for its products as more potential customers were exposed to the brand.

“We are confident that our customers will find our doughnuts and coffee are able to satisfy their needs. Hence, we are bullish that we will win a fair share of sales in the doughnut category in the local market,” he said.

Krispy Kreme appealed to consumers from a wide cross-section of ages, educational background, income and lifestyles, he said.

He added: “We look forward to accelerating our growth in Malaysia. We are sampling 6,000 boxes of a dozen each of Hot Original Glazed doughnuts in the Klang Valley and nearby communities to share the Krispy Kreme experience.”

Krispy Kreme will offer 16 varieties of doughnuts and two types of coffee in Malaysia.

So I went online and checked out their homepage and saw this.



Get there early and get these rewards:

1st Customer - Get Golden Ticket - ONE YEAR Supply
2nd Customer - Get Silver Ticket - 6 Months Supply
3rd Customer - Get Bronze Ticket - 3 Months Supply
4th - 100th Customer- Get 1 Month Supply
101th -300th Customer - Get A Cup of Coffee

Fuyoh, its on a Monday, and i bet people will be camping there from at least 7.00 AM onwards, so for those folks who works in that area, be prepared for traffic jam hehehehe...

I can imagine the trail of human traffic jam leading up to the Krispy Kreme store that morning.

Its almost like the last minute rush to pay your traffic summons, but instead with more passion and kiasu-ness (can win a years supply of donuts woh, the winner sure eat until fat fat)

RAHMAN prophecy

Najib is now the new Malaysia Prime Minister.

And with that, Malaysia has fulfilled the age-old RAHMAN prophecy.
You know, the one where you learned in school about the names of the previous and future PM of Malaysia.

I never dreamed that i would live long enough to see it fulfilled.
Well, you know, at that time, Mahathir didn't looked like he would go off anytime soon (he is still fiesty as ever), and who would expect Badawi to only survived 1 term.

Let me refresh your memory (tsk tsk tsk....)

• R - Rahman (Y.T.M Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj)
• A - Abdul Razak (Tun Abdul Razak bin Haji Dato' Hussein)
• H - Hussein (Tun Hussein bin Dato' Onn)
• M - Mahathir (Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad)
• A - Abdullah Badawi (Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi)
• N - Najib (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak)

Ok, so what now?
It is already the end of the prophecy.

Will they start teaching in schools about a new prophecy?

Alot of speculation that's the end of BN rule, and start off with a new name A-N-W-A-R (go figure the names yourself).

Or will we get multiracial and fulfill M-A-L-A-Y-S-I-A?
If so, does L stands for Lim Guan Eng?

Thats wishful thinking.
