A gadget noob just bought a smartphone with wireless capability and happily explored it. All of the sudden,the battery flat off.
“The brochure claimed that it can lasted for 8 hours but now I have only used it for 8 min. I think there is something wrong with the phone”, he whispered to himself silently.
“Ohh, I must have forgotten to charge it earlier. Erm the instruction said connect the charger to the power supply to charge the phone”, he carefully read and follow the instruction.
After few minutes later,the phone is still not working. He lost his temper n started to curse,”I guess I have been cheated. The phone only lasted for 8min and the charger is spoilt”. He decided to call the service centre and lodged a complaint.
“Hello, sir how can I help you”, asked the customer service officer politely. “I’ve been cheated by your company. The wireless phone that i just bought few hours ago is spoilt now! I cannot even turn on the phone! the charger is spoilt too!” he complaint.
“Please calm down, sir. Our company is a reputable company. All our products are being tested before we sell them to our customers. Maybe I can assist you. Did you follow the instruction to charge the phone first?” The officer patiently explained.
He responded agitatedly,”Yes, I did. I know I’m new to this gadget but I did followed the instruction. I plugged in the charger to the power supply but the phone is still not working!”
The operator felt slightly awkward as this issue has never been raised before. So, he curiously asked,”Can you please check if the charger connection to phone is properly inserted?” he paused awhile and replied, “Do I need to do that?” the officer nearly burst out of his laughter but he answered professionally,”Sir,you need to connect the charger to both the power supply and your phone in order to charge it.”
He sarcastically responded,”I thought it is a wireless smartphone or this is another marketing gimmick? This confirmed that i have been cheated because The phone is not so smart afterall !”

Someone asked me, “TikkoSS, you eat so much but how come your tummy still not inflated?” Er.. Honestly, I don’t know. It either my intestine did not absorb properly or I’m continuously feeding BIG HUNGRY WORMS in my stomach.
Knowing the facts that I love to eat and wanting to feed my tummy badly, my friend usually call me when they find out some nice or new restaurant. Not necessary high class restaurant, even simple roadside restaurant will do. This time they bring me to Restoran Wah Tin in Kepong.
I’m totally into sitting by roadside and have a nice dinner. Not romantic but with low lighting and carbon monoxide, I am sure it can add some flavor to it. If you’re more of a hygienic person, well, you can go to the air condition section but you will lose out the “environmental touch” then.
Sometime this restaurant is giving out pretty attractive deal. RM 5 for a bowl of sharkfin for instance or Big Crab for only RM12. As you know, as sharkfin lover, how can I resist this temptation, right?
Not to grumble but a bowl of sharkfin just ain’t going to be enough for me. The waiter suggested steam egg with century eggs, stew Japanese tofu and green vegetables. Probably these are the few common dishes that they are good at.
No questions about it because they really good in preparing these “common dishes”. I wouldn’t be surprised if other restaurant also can also do the same. Personally, I enjoyed the stew Japanese Tofu. The way they prepare the tofu gravy tastes almost similar to sharkfin soup. Yum yum !
Also, I have ordered my all time favorite, Cheong Jing Fish. The sauce is somewhat different from what I had in Restoran Taman Batu @ Jalan Kuching or Restoran Tai Dee @ Kepong. Different doesn’t mean it is not good. Just that this time the lards are visible. I know tasty food is never healthy but it is just hard to resist the lard + the Cheong Jing Sauce.
Lastly I ordered a pork dish. This one they served with man tou. I totally forget what is this dish called but if you just tell the waiter the Chiu Pai Pai Kuat (house specialty pork rib), I am pretty sure they know. This is totally a must try dishes.
We spent about RM 130 including drinks for a table for four. Will I come back again? For the sake of the Chiu Pai Pai Kuat, oh yea.. I will come back for sure.

When I first heard about Om Nom Nom, I am like what the hell is that? After a few moments of silence, Vince texted us (TikkoSS, Xing and Simon) to online immediately and finally, we formed Team RANDOM. Enough of history lesson, you can always check on One Step Closer to the Maxis Om Nom Nom Race if you are interested.
Be in an amazing race alike race for a “young” man like me sounds challenging and FUN. Am I implying that I am too old for this race? Nah .. don’t be stereotype, k? I can tell you, I am not the “youngest” over there lol.
Before we start, we have to sign a “will” just in case anything happen to us. Hahaha.. not “will”, I’m just pulling your leg. It is a consent form.
What is so great about this race? Ohh..Beside NikiCheong was the MC, all I can think of is FOOD. They fed us really well even before we start our race. This is the time when I suppose to mingle around with other bloggers. So, I go with my camera as an excuse and started to say, “Can I have a picture of your team?” Lame but works.
After short briefing, teams were given iPhone, maxis broadband, laptop and first clue. This is getting exciting! AS much as we want to be the first in the race, Team Random decided to let other teams to start first. Give them a chance.. hehehe.. (Actually we faced some challenge in keying in our GPS .. lol)
Yea yea yea.. I bet you already know Team Random very well by now but I still want to put all our best pics. The pics when we are in “real” and serious actions! Hehe.. The race consists of 5+1 checkpoints, 5 restaurants, 4 drivers, 3 Dudes, 2 laptops and 1 female “daring” driver. (the +1 is the GPS mistakes that led us to KLANG instead of PJ)
Now I managed to mosaic all food photos that we had on that day from all the 5 restaurants. Don’t get jealous yea.. Check out the links for more details Maxis Om Nom Nom Race – Strawberry Fields Cafe, Maxis Om Nom Nom Race – Tarbush Sunway Pyramid, Maxis Om Nom Nom – Sate Kajang Hj. Samuri, Maxis Om Nom Nom – Restoran Thaibase and Dancing Fish (somehow we forget to save the blog post.. hehe.. coz too busy eating 
)
Although we have additional checkpoint and extra 120 km as compare to others teams, we managed to complete the race on time. AND we are not the last qualified team to arrive! Thanks to all my team mates for all the fun time!
Now come the sad and happy time. SAD coz we didn’t win the race. No more Hong Kong and HTC Desire Z and no more second prize also but HAPPY because we get freebies from Maxis. Not only that, I really enjoyed myself very much. Thanks to Maxis and NuffnangMY for organizing this event.
My post is not finished yet. Lastly, get to camDUCK with fellow bloggers such as famous NikiCheong and all. I think both me and NikiCheong are equally leng chai. Just that, I am on the race for whole day and I did not manage to get a chance to make up, shave and wear perfume before the photoshoot.. ewww.. hehe..
What I gain in this race? Not to trust my GPS and need to brush up my sense of directions, know more fellow bloggers and really satisFATing food! Stay tune for more interesting post!

What do you usually do when you come to KL? Shopping? That is nothing unusual. Don’t tell me that you’re visiting tourist spots?? That is nothing great too. If I tell you I have a better suggestion, will you take into consideration? To add some flavor to it, what about meeting up with fellow leng chais and leng luis? Wink wink!
Glow happens to be in KL last Friday. DO what? She purposely arranged her very first meet up with fellow Nuffnang bloggers. Kinda last minutes invitation but we all are efficient bloggers. Eh hem. So, even last minutes did not stop us from gathering all up.
Guess who else were there? Oh yea.. all your favorite bloggers manage to make their presence. Who else if notTehTarikMemoirs, Xing, Chuen, TikkoSS, Suresh89 and Doris. Nothing come in between when comes to bloggers’ gathering, not even Friday work, hustle bustle city congestion and all sorta challenges.
If you cannot join this time, don’t give lame excuses such as no money la..bla bla bla.. You don’t need to be rich to join us. In fact, we met up in one of the fast food restaurant, Carl’s Junior. Well, if you on diet, a glass of drink will do too. What important is the crowd that counts, right?
Shy? Not a sociable person? We normally start of slow by self introduction. Then of course follow by common topic on blogging. It gets excited when everyone sharing their interesting experience, especially the personal one. Blogging is not just about writing blog only but to enhance your knowledge and build up your interpersonal skills. That is exactly the time for you to put everything in practice.
If you are birthday boy/girl, just say it and we will make something special for you. Suresh89 happens to be the center of the attraction that day. Glow decided to sponsor some small cupcakes to cherish his Happy “Getting Older” celebration. I can tell you, he nearly burst into tears. TOUCH lor.. what else?
We moved to Snowflakes soon after Carl’s Junior. Don’t expect us to only stay at one location right? It is “Dessert Time”.. Oh yes ! Never say no to dessert especially where there are girls factor involved. Just RM 6 ++ for a big bowl of dessert and it is kinda cheap to be honest. I am very sure that I need not introduce this place as many already familiar with it.
Always remember to bring your camera along. Bloggers’ gathering always involves a lot of photo shooting. The moment when all male bloggers like it. Is it because we are pervert? OF course not. All of us are gentleman, ok? Just that we need some girl touch in our blog to drive the traffics.
With those photos, male readers will automatically flow into your blog for sure . What if you want to attract girls reader? camDUCK? Unfortunately, it does not works that way. CamDUCK just not right? Well, at least I don’t get use to it, YET!
Cam moment also to capture all our smiley faces which will definitely embrace our memory when we look back at these photos again. The warmth and happy feelings still flowing in my vein when I blog about this.
It is hard to share fun time in writing as words are just too limited to express it. You just have to feel it when you are there. If you do not want to lose all the fun, stay tune and join us next time. Never too late!

You know, this race is actually pretty awesome. We were at Saudi Arabia a few hours ago. We flew back home to Malaysia. And now we are in Thailand. Heh.
Team RANDOM is now at Thaibase, Bandar Sri Damansara, enjoying a mouth-watering Thai meal. Ahh yes, everybody loves Thai food. You don’t love Thai food? Gee, you have no idea what you missed out my friend.
Thaibase is situated in a rather inner part of Bandar Sri Damansara. One may mistake this restaurant as a Chinese restaurant due to its rather oriental design. There is however, quite an abundant number of seats so doesn’t have to worry about overcrowding here.
We were served…
Fried Koay Tiaw. This is not just any tom dick harry Chinese ah beng char koay tiaw – it has a couple juicy prawns and it is not to oily nor too dry. Suitable for foodies who is VERY health-conscious.
Claypot Tofu.
A healthy combination of tofu, mushroom, prawns and come greens. The perfect meal for those who are on a strict diet.
And yes, fried rice.
Fried to perfection in terms of spiciness. Suitable for us hardcore Malaysians who can’t live without spicy food. So if you can’t stomach a plate of spicy fried rice, well, too bad.
That’s it! Off we go to the next stop.

Phew, finally our magic carpet brought us back to Malaysia. Back to Damansara Utama. Yes, we are having the famous Malaysian delicacy – Satay!
Or what the angmohs would call skewered meat. You know how much they fancy using fancy words.
So, Team RANDOM is now feasting at Sate Kajang Hj. Samuri. Contrary to popular beliefs, we are NOT at Kajang. We are at the Damansara Utama’s branch – one of Hj. Samuri’s 22 branches.
Housing a very simple restaurant layout and design, Sate Kajang Hj. Samuri appears to be like any other humble local Malay restaurant in Malaysia. Like my grandniece would usually tell me, never judge a book by its cover. And boy was she right.
We were served…
Sate Kambing, Rusa, Daging and Ayam.
In simple everyday English, we had lamb skewered meat, deer skewered meat, beef skewered meat and chicken skewered meat. The specialty of these skewered meats comes in the form of their tenderness. Unlike ordinary satays, the ones here in Sate Kajang Hj. Samuri is not overly burnt, not too chewy and not too hard.
There were ketupat as well – a type of cubed rice which are basically made from, oh well, rice.
Enough with skewered meat and rice! Off we go to the next destination!

This race is definitely more exciting than the Amazing Race. We swear. The rushing adrenaline is enough to build another Twin Tower. Whatever that means.
Here we are, at our second location – Saudi Arabia. No kidding. We are at Tarbush Sunway Pyramid, which prides to be a replica of Saudi Arabia. There are camels everywhere, exotic sexy middle eastern waitress everywhere, flying carpets everywhere and of course, Aladdin.
Just kidding.
In all seriousness, Tarbush has a very authentic Arabian interior design. You remember watching Aladdin as a kid? Remember how the palace looked like? Yeap, Tarbush looks somewhat like that, just that it is air-conditioned here.
We were served…
What they would called the Baba Ghanoush. No, it has nothing to do whatsoever to do with Baba and Nyonya. It’s a sourish paste made from eggplant and tomatoes that is filled in slices of pita bread. Very very appetizing.
There’s also biryani chicken.
Tender chicken encompassed with spiced rice. Or what we typical Malaysians would call Nasi Briyani. Our team decided to wrap the rice and chicken with some pita and I tell you, it is the BEST combination.
Lastly, the dessert. Mahalabia. It sounds very majestic and grand, I know.
A type of milk pudding with a generous topping of nuts on the top. When you feed yourself with just one bite of this, it’s like heaven in your mouth.
Well, that’s it from Tarbush. We shall be flying off with our flying carpets to the next destination!

As everyone know, Confucius once said “If you ain’t gonna nom nom that burget; Imma do it for you.” Yes, trust me, he said that. And he had also once said this during his visit to a humble café in PJ – “You should totally check out Strawberry Fields Cafe when you are in PJ.”
We, TEAM RANDOM are staunch Confucius followers. Yes, here we are at Strawberry Field Cafe in the Maxis Om Nom Nom race, having the most sumptuous meal of the hour. The venue is not that hard to locate, it is exactly next to the MBPJ building. The only problem that one might encounter during their visit here would be parking. Loads of shoplots but very the little parking lot. Typical Malaysian problem lah. But hey, we’re Malaysians, we can make a parking lot out of anything. Strawberry Field Café gives a very comfortable and homey feeling. We could almost fall asleep in our chairs. But you see, we couldn’t because we are like in a race and er, never mind.
We were served…
Sweet & Sour Chicken Rice. The chicken was deep fried to the right tenderness and the sauce was literally a combination of sweetness and sourness. Followed by Thai Fried Eggs with Minced Chicken.
Although this dish might appear to be a little spicy, but it is not up to the extent where we need to gulp in 1 gallon of water after every bite. Mystically enough, the egg makes a pretty good combination with the sauce and minced meat. Dessert. Sago Gula Melaka.
One word. AuthenticbonafideSupercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Yeah, not so sweet nor bitter. Ngam ngam. Stay tuned for our next post in a couple of minutes!

Creative is very subjective. Winning a creative entry is very much relying on the judges’ point of view and of course your end product too. I would say luck only plays a major role here to some extent. In TikkoSS’s definition, Creative must be eye catching, genuine, ah ha factor and last but not least, interesting (kinda like when you read the first line, you want more).
I can talk whole day about creative till the cow comes home but not going to make any difference if you don’t get it. Seeing is believing. Let me share with you what I did in Nuffnang Premiere Screening – FASTER mini contest that win me a pair of tickets to the movie premiere recently.
This is not my first time winning the mini contest. (check out Nuffnang Premiere Screening – Skyline). In this particular contest, the requirements are i) Nuffnang Glitterati Bloggers – YES I AM ELIGIBLE ii) comment must be original and not plagiarized – DEFINITELY I HAVE IT iii) High creativity value – Check out what I have submitted below.
Creative isn’t it? Well, at least it fulfilled TikkoSS’s definition of the word creative. IF you disagree, let the result speaks for itself”.
It is a gamble when you join any contest. Winning or Losing is just part of the game. This is the area where a little luck plays a major role. The judges need to spot on your post first before they read further right? You don’t stand a chance if he/she decided NOT to look into your entries at all.
Same as the contest post One Step Closer to the Maxis Om Nom Nom Race, I received an invitation email to join Nuffnang Premiere Screening – FASTER. Very delighted indeed. Two tickets, potential to win other small freebies and the HIGHLIGHT is meeting with fellow bloggers.
This time I don’t need to travel all the way to Wangsa Walk because the premier happened to be in GSC Mid Valley. GSC Mid Valley is currently the largest multiplex in South East Asia. They have 18 screens in total and GOLD CLASS too.
I never been to Gold Class here but apparently, the feedback I received from my readers concluded that Gold Class in GSC Mid Valley is almost similar as Business Class on airplane.
AS usual, Nuffies will be there to distribute the tickets. Pretty honor to be part of NuffnangMY event. Everyone will be eyeing at you and you will feel like a superstar. Not me alone of course but as you can see the queue is pretty long.
A bit disappointed as I did not get any freebies. I thought I am early but when I reached 30 min before the Nuffnang ticket collection counter opened, I spotted many bloggers are in line awaiting for their turn. Dang, I am not as lucky as I thought.
NOT LUCKY? A short moment of disappointment does not mean that I am not lucky right? At least I still have a pair of movie tickets. Who is my date? I dated TikkoSS’s Model for that night. My MOM ! My mom has always been so supportive when I blog and she even follow my blog too. So, this is a good opportunity for her to blend into blogging community.
The cinema is awesomely big. Bigger than most cinema that I have been too. The seats are big and cozy but the screen turns out to be smaller. Smaller? I guess that is just my optic illusion. Hahaha.
Now, the movie time! Did I predict correctly when I creatively commented at first?? I will let you find out yourself. No point for me to tell you the whole story, right? I rather you watch and determine yourself. Besides, everyone has differences in opinion.
Did I like the movie? Definitely! Dwayne Johnson never disappoints me except in Scorpion King. I am not a big fan on Dwayne when he was a wrestler but now, I follow him in his movie career.
I have a splendid moment with my mom for 1hour and 38 minutes. Speed car chasing, Fighting, Violent Kills, Shooting and more importantly, unpredictable ending. AWESOME. You realize that I did not talk a lot about the movie because synopsis which is easily accessible when you google it, already describe the storyline. No point for me to echo here right? Also, I don’t like to read synopsis so that I can still get the thrilling sensation about the movie
I am 18.. hahaa.. I wish I am. You need to be 18 or above to watch this movie. Not sure if they will censor this movie later but the one that I watched did not censor at all. It means you get blood splashing, cruel kills, bullet straight to the head and NO tu…tu… tu…… (cursing, bla bla)
Great movie for me and even my mom enjoyed it very much. Didn’t know my mom like violent movie too . Another great event from NuffnangMY and looking forward for One Step Closer to the Maxis Om Nom Nom Race which is going to be tomorrow! Stay tune!

A friend of mine, Paul is sharing his private “collection” with his best buddy, Marvin. The private collection here is not referring to pornography or adult videos but his collection of Losers’ Database.
Paul: Marvin, you want to see the Losers’ Collection that I was talking about? It is on that messy table. You go get it yourself.
Marvin: Hahaha..check out this dude over here. The only girl that calls him for the last three years is his sister. He has no friends, no work and no life. This is hilarious.
Paul: Marvin, that is my file. I am talking about that blue folder. Not this one.
