CONMAN, LCCT, KLIA, BEWARE

It was a Saturday morning at a quarter to 6. Was checking in for a 7AM flight back to Miri. It's not the first time i've booked such an early flight so pls remind me of my stupidity. It was actually prompted by some savings... bout 200 bucks for 2 people but its so not worth it. so not.

To be checking in at a 5:45AM, and living in Bandar Utama, you kinda need to leave your place at 4:45AM and get the cab at your place at half pass 4AM. To be safe, so unless it doesnt come, you have the option to call for another cab.

The night before, i had to clear my work before my 4 day weekend and i didnt finish till half pass 1 in the morning. 3 hr sleep or no sleep? ... i chose no sleep but slept for 1 and a half hours. And that totally fucked me up.

The bazaar feeling LCCT and the long queue didnt help either. I was worse than dead. Was fucking cursing at everything that was a lil different from normal to me. Like ugly tattoos & pretty boys with japanese gigolo looking hair.

Finally, it was my turn to check in. And pls remind me, i could have checked in using one of the electronic booths coz i had no luggage but i forgot to record my reservation number...wtf what a fucked up mind does to you.

Anyway, back to the check in counter, passed the IC to an attendant at the check-in counter. BTW, he was a guy.. thin.. DVD seller looking, japanese gigolo died yellow looking hair - like a porcupine that's just got back from a royal rumble.

He took my IC, punched some alphabets on the keyboard and looks at me and goes "Your credit card payment fail" ... at that mood, i was thinking "failed, not fail, you fucking illeterate". But i was like "what? not possible... i have a reservation number" - just that i didnt bring it - but i dint say it.

This chinese attendant then looks at me with that expression like he's thinking "Dont fuck with me, im the one looking at the screen" and he went, aggitated, "Credit card payment FAIL".

And because he flinched, i was like what the fuck, all the way through a dead state, i just wanna fly home... so i went "so can i pay here?".... i was actually telling him i cant coz i never remember a checking counter accepting monetary transactions... its normally at a different counter.

He went yes and i went like "how?".. he went "credit card or cash".. professionally.

Very suspicious but surprised at the same time, with the pressure of the queue and the impatience and to be safe, i gave him my credit card. Nevertheless, STUPID.

BUT... i was smart enough to monitor and realized that he doesnt have a credit card terminal. I got fucking aggitated at that point. I raised my voice and i was like "DUDE, do you even have a credit card terminal here? So what the hell are you doing?!?!"

He held to the credit card, punched my credit card number into the keyboard like really fast... and said "Online payment" and gave it back to me and said "payment approved". SHIT... that really got me thinking on board the plane. for 10 minutes la before i KO'ed. In that 10 minutes, what went through my mind was like a mental masturbation.

1. A checking counter doesnt do monetary transactions

2. You cannot make a transaction online without keying in the 3 numbers at the back of your card. He didn't turn it around.

3. My credit card has a verification process at the gateway before you can pay. It will ask you personal questions that im pretty damn confident he cannot answer. no fucking way... questions like your mum's name.. how the hell will he know?

4. I got a reservation number. My credit card was charged (i dint remember this at that point of time). So how the fucking way my "credit card payment fail"... FAILED you idiot - pass tense.

When i woke up, everything came into place.

He is a CONMAN.

He wanted some cash.

He saw that i was in bad shape... no sleep

I payed for the tickets a couple of mths back so i could've forgotten bout it

He tried to see if i was stupid enough to pay cash. For if i did... i could have lost that money. Although i can lodge a complaint, it will just fuck me up again... you know, customer service shit.

If i wasn't looking, he could have take down all my credit card details.

All he had to do was to say that my credit card payment failed. EASY... fucking easy. He tried me, that mother fucker, i didnt have full brain capacity but im still too smart for you, prick.

BEWARE FOLKS!!!

Arthur Guinness in Kuala Lumpur

I spent the whole of Friday & Saturday nights out in almost a dozen pubs, ferrying Kenny around - as Arthur Guinness.

In conjuction with Arthur's Day, which is happening this Friday at Sunway Lagoon - those of you fans of the Black Eyed Peas, do go get your tix now - Guinness has decided to warm it up by reviving Arthur Guinness, who painted the town red on Thu, Fri & Sat nites, greeting all Guinness & BEP fans and reminding them of his big 250th anniversary this Friday.

For those who knew their Guinness well, they also stood a chance to win mosh pit tickets to the Black Eyed Peas, how exciting! Coincidentally, Arthur also bumped into Pierre, a friend i've met through Timothy - and he too got a pair of mosh pits... he knew all his Guinness by just reading Kenny's blog... and after winning a pair in front of his 3 boys, he steadily went "sorry, the other pair's for my girl"... well, i guess they were drinking on his tab so they got nothing to say lol.

Anyway, ima be posting some backstage pictures ;)

This is Kenny, after being dressed up as Arthur Guinness. Maybe he shouldn't be holding his head so high. I mean i like the arrogance but the black sideburns are revealing! HAHAH

a
a
a

Not exactly backstage anymore but this is Arthur interacting with the crowd at Sid's pub in South Bangsar. To be honest, i've never quite been to this pub before but they serve pretty decent sausages and they pour really good Guinness! so i'll definitely be coming back.

Kenny actually started off with a running nose and a cold brain - the weather was wet - he was supposed to greet Guinness drinkers but the first table he chose had nobody drinking Guinness but he was able to quickly turn it around - "OH, non of you are Guinness drinkers here... HOW CAN?" .......... LOL

a
a
a
These bunch of Chinese boys were givin it to Arthur quite alot but they really enjoyed his company. And they were all drinking Guinness - so well deserved. Something quite significant they did was when they toasted to Arthur, they did it Chinese style - "Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Arthur!" haha


a
a
a

These ppl knew Kenny so when they spotted him, they went "HI KENNY!"... but Kenny in the line of duty professionally answered them... "WHO's KENNY?!"... "Im Arthur!"

a
a
a

These guys got lucky and won a pair of mosh pit tickets to the Black Eyed Peas.

a
a
a
a
And in any Guinness event, you'd be expecting some hot promoter girls ;) - Eejin & Chantelle. Apparently Chantelle is also a Miss Malaysia pageant. They both walked Arthur around and his 2 daughters ;)

a
a
a

This guy gave a go at the most pit tickets too.

a
a
a
But he couldn't answer the final question - What is the real colour of Guinness? It's not black. Anyone wanna try?

u

a

a
This gentlemen in red, is Arthur. And Arthur is his real name. Coincidentally, it was his birthday too. To Arthur!

Backstage. Arthur Twittering on his iPhone again.

Backstage again.. visiting Kenny Sia's Google map pin in Bangsar.

Fox vs Angie vs Arthur

A quick poll to begin with.

Who's your sexy?

The robot loving Fox? - who has often been compared to actress Angelina Jolie, with the media dubbing her as "next Angelina Jolie".

Fox has been compared to Jolie because they each have a "tattoo collection", and status as a "built in sex-symbol".

a

a

a

Or the now thick lipped & charitable Angelina Jolie - who has adopted kids from 3rd world countries?

a

a

a

I've done a similiar poll on Facebook, yielding outrageous comments! LOL. Somebody even described Megan to be a "Plastic Blonde What the Fuck".

a

Nasty enough "Plastic Blonde" ... she calls Fox, Plastic Blonde What the Fuck. LOL... not that im denying it though. HAHAHAH

a

a
a
a
Anyway, fuck the mainstream celebs.

There's something more sexy in town today. Someone iconic, someone in town to celebrate his 250th Birthday - Arthur Guinness.

Arthur Guinness was the founder of the Guinness brewery business, an entrepreneur, visionary and philanthropist. Guinness laid the foundations for Guinness Brewery. At 27, in 1752, Guinness's godfather Arthur Price, Archbishop of Cashel, bequeathed him £100 in his will. Guinness put the money to good use and in 1755 had a brewery at Leixlip, just 17 km from Dublin. In 1759, Guinness went to the city and set up his own business. He got a 9,000 year lease on the four-acre brewery at St. James's Gate from Mark Rainsford for an annual rent of £45 - wikipedia.org

I say this fucker got Chinese blood. How did he manage to negotiate for a 9,000 year lease at an annual fee of 45 pounds.... lol.

d

a

After being quiet for 250 years, Arthur Guinness has decided to come to the town again and party! warming up for his 250th birthday celebration at Sunway Lagoon, where the Black Eyed Peas will be performing.

After 250 years, Arthur has lost some height.. gained weight from drinking Guinness and to look young again, coloured his hair black.

d
a
a
He has also caught on with technology... and he Twitters through his iPhone.

a
a
d
Looks like he gets attracted to the Apple.

a

a

Catch Arthur Guinness at Sid's Pub and Social in Bangsar, and Souled Out & Backyard Pub @ Sri Hartamas... tonight!

I got a feeling... that tonite's gonna be a good nite... that tonite's gonna be a good good nite!

Tiger's Tmusic concert

a
a
As a Chinese illiterate, you tend to find Chinese songs generally emo because they generally sing very emotional songs that are related to love triangles, break-ups, long distance relationships, heartaches and stuff like that. And to make it more emo, the guys especially, tend to shuffle between their masculine & feminine voices.

Once I was in a cab and the cab driver was this Chinese guy who was singing to a very emo Cantonese break-up song he was blasting in his cab. If the solo didn't come on to take over the vocals, I wouldn't have been here to write this blog. Point is, they are so emo they can cause road accidents.

Anyway, this is my personal stand on Chinese music and you can chose to have your own views but i've kept my distance from Chinese music. The only time i hear em is when im at the karaoke with my colleagues and when im in Taiwanese or Hongki restaurants.

However, i made a leap of faith yesterday by attending the first Chinese concert in my life... i get more than aggitated listening to 1 Chinese track but yesterday, i attended 5 hours of such music. Well, because Tiger organizes really cool events so i thought id be there to check out the atmosphere and get a taste of an Asian concert.

Got there at about half pass 8 and the corner of the stadium that was catering for the concert was packed. PACKED & sweaty ... and loud.... especially with alot of young girls screaming to their idols & singing along with glass breaking high pitches.

I had a bad feeling about this but nevertheless, we made our way into the RM168 corner to our assigned seats.. which isnt VVIP but a pretty premium location relatively. We never quite got there and retreated. The young girls proved too vocally dangerous.

So we got up 2 levels and chose to settle here... where we could smoke, have our own space, have the breeze blowin in from the open space behind and move around however we like. Well, the area didnt look too pleasant but we thought much better than be sardined within a sea of young girls and get no ventilation.
a
a
a
The view was pretty aite from up here.

a
a
The concert took off with alot of soft shell boys singing to very high pitch songs. One of em looked like peter pan with the hat, brown hair and big round eyes.


u
a

There was also a Thai who sang a Thai, English & Mandarin track. Nothing special about his performance the the girls adored his looks.

u
u
u
Tiger beer also set up a mammoth tent right beside the stage. Dont quite know what it was hosting.. assumed that they had Tiger beer on sale.. but too big a risk to take as it would have meant a 1 KM walk from where we were stationed.

u
u
u
More and more emo tracks came on... this lady even had a Asian Sesame Street band dancing at the background.




h
a
d
The situation didnt quite improve until Power Station came on... or better known as Tong Li Huo Che.... For once, somebody took the stage with guitars, drums a keyboard and proper sound system. Despite some initial technical problems, they stormed the stage making music and brought life to the whole environment. Previously, it was all noise.
a

a

d
d
They also got short hair now and they look clean.. unlike who we knew them for

d
d
d
After 6 to 7 tracks, Power Station backed out from the stage to make way for other performers. Not only did they leave with all their equipments, they left with the power as well.

It was a blackout at Tmusic. The cabels that were lying on the stadium tracks went in flames and probably caught the attention of all concert attendees.

d
d
d
Everyone got restless, including this lady who took her paper to somewhere with lights.
a

The ground staff working hard to clear off the hazard.

The situation was tensed, people were deciding whether they should stay on or not, but i think 99% did as their idols were still backstage - mainly David Tao & Justin Lo.

The organizers also did their bit to keep the crowd entertained while they ferry in alternative power. It was quite lame but they brought out David Tao so he could sing the chorus of his popular "Ai hen jien dan" on the loud hailer. I didnt look very promising but they kept it goin


a

i
a
And signs of a revival came.
a

a

k
More and more lights came on.
a
a
a
a
And it was soon back to normal in time for Justin Lo & David Tao.

Well all in all, i did enjoy 3 - 4 tracks from Power Station, David Tao & Justin Lo... and even if i didnt quite enjoy the rest, i thought the blackout was quite and experience! ahha..

Anyway, thanks to Tiger beer for this concert

Yo momma so wet

Have you guys watched this gay bitch Bruno in the movies? He's also behind Ali G & Borat and he's one HILLARIOUS son of a bitch. Everytime i think i about him, i LOL

a
a
a
And this classic piece of metal i saw at The Curve, will make yo momma so wet the car will drift away on a stream of juice.

Who's the man?

a
a
The man who's on the large, put on the radars of Interpol, most wanted man in Malaysia has hit back at the Malaysian media with now, webisodes!

If his hands were not tied, he wud've prolly been the Obama of Malaysia, the man of "Change", the man who's embraced what the dinosaurs call "New media", what the new generation calls "My life".

If words isnt enough for him to speak his mind, he's now just shot the new generation format of TV episodes called, Webisodes. Short clips in nature to cater for this new generation of selective hearing & short attention spanned people and fucking teases you to wanna hack into his computer to watch the subsequent webisode. With that said, broadcasted only on the internet.






RPK went on the lam in April when he failed to turn up for his sedition trial. There is also a second warrant of arrest issued against him for failing to turn up for his criminal defamation trial. Despite being a fugitive, RPK continues to speak his mind and remains a thorn in the side of the administration of Najib.



Now on a less political side of things, this is like discovering tressure in KL!!! The traditional Sarawakian "dried noodles" with swine meat, minced swine meat & swine oil.

'Bo'Sex

a

The older generation of Guinness drinkers in Malaysia congregated at the Mines Resort for a Gala dinner and a communial toast to Arthur Guinness, in conjunction with his 250th birthday. Arthur's the man! ppl still celebrate his birthday more than a decade after his demise - and he's just a brewer. I dont remember ppl celebrating (in such a global scale) birthdays of past prime ministers who have built countries or saints who have brought life to thousands.

Since it's the older generation of drinkers, the dinner didnt have rock bands performing, neither street performances nor international celebrities. It did have a drum performance, an umbrella performance and an opera singer. Of course a pretty Chinese host and plenty of sexy Guinness promoter girls. The uncles loved it!

a
a
a
They were ever so willing to get their temperatures checked!!

a
a

a

After a week of Guinness, i had the chance to fly back to my hometown, Miri over the Merdeka weekends to chill a bit. Get rid of some stress, and detox from Guinness.

a

At the airport when i landed, i saw a native carrying a backpack, with his name written on it. It was attracting some attention, especially amongst the Chinese youngsters so i got close to check it out. LOL

a

a

a

'Bo'Sex in Hokkien means "I dont get sex".

a

a

And he better watch out because Bonia might just take the opportunity to sue him since McDonald's is sueing McCurry. Bonia, "If McDonald's can sue McCurry over the infringement of 'Mc', why can't i sue Bosex over the infringement of 'Bo'"

Miri has a popular dish for tea time. Comprises of fried bean curd, squid, cucumber, pine-apple & water chestnut. You eat it with a peanuty sweet sauce - Rojak. My friend from KL tried it, he didn't like it. But it's a helluva dish for the Mirians. Im ok wit it, but dont like it as much as i did in the past.

a

And you do not leave Miri without GOOD seafood

Nabi Isa = Jesus Christ

a

Isa (عيسى) merupakan seorang nabi yang penting dalam agama Islam. Dalam Kitab Suci Al Qur'an, ia digelar Isa ibni Maryam atau Isa al-Masih. Kata ini diperkirakan berasal dari bahasa Aram, Eesho atau Eesaa. Jesus Christ adalah nama yang umumnya diguna pakai oleh pengganut Kristian untuk menyebutnya, sedangkan orang Arab Kristian menyebutnya dengan Yasu' al-Masih (يسوع المسيح).

Source: Wikipedia.org

Tranlated to English: Isa (Jesus Christ) is a very important prophet to the Islam faith. In the Quran, Isa is referred to as Isa ibni Maryam or Isa al-Masih (Aram language). Jesus Christ is the official name of Nabi Isa in the Christian context. The Arab Christians refer to Jesus Christ as Yasu' al-Masih.
a
z
a
The point here is, Nabi Isa = Jesus Christ. I've never read the Quran but i have friends who practise Islam and they tell me that Nabi Isa is a very important prophet, as stated in the Quran.

So peace be with all the Christians & Muslims, there is NO NEED to wage 'Holy wars' or incite hatred between the 2 religions. We believe in the same GOD, Allah and we believe in the same prophet, Nabi Isa / Jesus Christ. We have so much in common.

Evil has been ripping the 2 religions appart and if you are true to your religion, you should believe in harmony more than any other causes. I bring this up because of this disturbing article on CNN.

In the court filing, Rifqa Bary stated her father said, "If you have this Jesus in your heart, you are dead to me!" The teenager claims her father added, "I will kill you!"


Muslim teen fears for life after changing religion

(CNN) -- A Muslim teenager from Ohio says her father threatened to kill her because she converted to Christianity.

Rifqa Bary claims her father wants her dead after she converted to Christianity.

Rifqa Bary, 17, ran away from her family in Columbus, Ohio, in July and took refuge in the central Florida home of the Rev. Blake Lorenz with the Global Revolution Church in Orlando.

The teen heard of the pastor and his church through a prayer group on Facebook. The girl's parents reported her missing to Columbus police, who found her two weeks later in Florida through cell phone records.

The teenager, in a sworn affidavit, claims her father, Mohamed Bary, 47, was pressured by the mosque the family attends in Ohio to "deal with the situation." In the court filing, Rifqa Bary stated her father said, "If you have this Jesus in your heart, you are dead to me!" The teenager claims her father added, "I will kill you!"
Mohamed Bary told CNN a lot of false information has been given and "we wouldn't do her harm." He knew his daughter was involved with Christian organizations.

"I have no problem with her practicing any faith," he said, but Bary admitted he would have preferred his daughter to practice the Muslim faith first.

Although Mohamed Bary said he did not expect his daughter to run away, Rifqa Bary was placed in foster care by an Orlando judge in August while the Florida Department of Children and Family investigated the threat allegations against the parents.
