There’s a “bank” in town that is open for business even on Sundays, and are the busiest on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, where most of the users are depositing small amount of money starting from RM1.10 to RM11, and a handful of them would bank in RM55, and up to RM110.

Those handful of users might had gone to the temple, or a fortune teller, or had a wet dream the other night.

Lottery betting is one of the biggest and most profitable business in Malaysia, as it is the ONLY form of legal betting apart from going up the hills to Genting Casino. Any other forms of betting activities will get you prosecuted.

Have you ever been to Kuala Lumpur? The Berjaya Times Square? Ya, the place where you shop for fashion clothes, and go for a IMAX 3D movie? The place where people countdown during the new year’s eve? Yeah, that place lorrr…

Well, you have to thank yourself for being one of the contributors to the funds of the building, because of your daily deposits to the Berjaya Group’s Sports Toto. They’re one of the largest and most profitable companies in Malaysia dealing with resorts, real estate, retailing, 7-Elevens, Cosway, education, and basically whatever you can think of…

They are the peoples waiting for fortune to happen, while the “bank” thanks them for all the fortune.

They’re also the ONLY bank in town that tells everyone how much money the users had deposited into the bank. Thanks to their jackpot system.

Now that you’ve read this post, go and bank in RM1.10 tomorrow for ‘9555′. I wish you good luck!

Taking the Kuching riverside boat ride is one of the must-do things for tourists visiting the city.

Many took the boat to visit the Fort Margherita opposite the river, now there’s the new Dewan Undangan Negeri (State Parliament Assembly hall) to add to the hot spots.

Mary and I took the boat ride but we didn’t go to the Fort nor the DUN, we’ve stayed on the boat and discovered something else – The life of the boatmen.

Hello Boatmen!

Cruisin’ on the Kuching river.

Overlooking the new DUN and the Kuching City riverside skyline.

Reaching the opposite river bank for dispatch of human cargo.

Curiosity kills the cat.

Muslim prayers. Offering some real sense of security for the boatmen on the river.

The source of life – Water.

The thermo flask to store hot water for his daily meals.

A biscuit tin.

A couple of kerosene lamp to light up the small boat throughout the night.

A brand new motor to power the boat.

Now that’s the kind of life you’ll come to expect if you’re a boatmen on the Kuching river.

How is your life?

What do you do when you’ve lost control?

Just like this?

You take control from the other side.

Reshape it.

And shove it back on to regain control.

How many times have you actually used the CTRL key on the right hand side? I bet it’s less than 2 times a week? Why let the entire keyboard go to waste when I can switch the right CTRL key to the most frequently used left hand side?

This is my girlfriend’s old keyboard I’m exchanging with, she’s in possession of my Wireless Logitech keyboard now. I only ever uses Logitech keyboards for all my life, and this is the reason why – Durability and flexibility. I don’t know how she had lost the control key, but a moment of bright ideas came to the rescue. Time is hard nowadays, save every cent you can. Even the Americans are saving funds by not setting off flashy fireworks for their July 4th Independence Day celebration.

This is It. I still can’t believe it, but this is really it. He left us with an unfinished job of 50 concerts in the UK, at the age of 50. The long-awaited This Is It Come Back Tour in the UK is not going to happen.

50 concerts, 50 years old, This is It. Coincidence?

We’re not going to get more of Michael Jackson, or Mikaeel Jackson, whichever you want to call him. But he left with a loyal legion of fans and impersonators continuing to pass on his legacy.

You’ll be remembered Michael. The God must be enjoying your moonwalk now.

Once upon a time, 6 months ago. A pig f*cked a girl.

and the rest as they said, is history.

Mary and I were having a getaway in Kuching last week. We were enroute Lundu town, about 100km away from Kuching for its picturesque Sematan beach. The town sat close to the border of Kalimantan, Indonesia. But our journey were cut short, or rather, unsuccessful where we had to make a U-turn back to Kuching City due to bad weather, and as darkness closed in, we dare not venture into the unfamiliar territory.

There are no lights nor residence for as long as the eyes could see and the terrain is rough. Wrong timing for a trip like this…but we could still afford to stop for a HDR photography session.
