Malay guy came back, with goodies

Yay, today the malay guy came back from Msia to TnT. huhuhu.
A lot of stuffs kirim from him. Jilakak him didnt change my camera battery charger.
But then again, he brough other stuffs. Muahaha


The Playstation 2
weee...
woah...so small. much smaller than i ever imagine. I very sanpa wan. Small time poor ma. So mah not used to this kind of luxury games lo. huhuhu
Play play play.

But the thing he brought back that I love most is....this


It sorta remind me to the time when I was just a kid. Pre-form 1. My mother brought me to town. It was a big thing for a kid like me back then. I remembered we took a cab there, to sumwhere near Pertama I think. It was really a big thing. We were so poor back then, taking a bus was considered as a luxury. And we took a cab.
She sorta walked wif me for a big distance, to look for a shop with good bargains, to buy me a pen. It was a Parker pen.

I knew it was sorta like a 4A in UPSR cum studi harder incentive for me during the secondary entrance. I was small, but I knew the meaning, and the sacrifice she made. Remember my financial post? That pen, can bring food on the table for many days.
Thank you mum. Although my kiddish curiousity killed the pen in my autopsy.

Now, my lahling got me a Parker. I can feel the same kind of hope, the same kind of closeness, but a different kind of love in it.
I will come back to your side, along with it. Thank you LiFong.

Wait for me

Ninja Turtles

Remember the turtle post? So I went again yesterday to try my luck. Dem tired, but went anyway. We depart around 11pm. We took along one more guy this time. My Malay colleague. Jilakak him want so late for wat. I was looking at around 9-10pm to depart.
Anyway, there we went, reaching around 1am because we went 30 minutes futher from last time. Even more bends and lousy roads. Small n full of pot holes, wooden bridges. Brings back that kampung feel.

I was dead tired. But I managed to stay awake to chat wif the driver - AhMeng and also to give the direction. I've never been there but being a guy, my sense of direction is better than the two females sitting behind.
We reach a place called Grand Rivere Beach Resort or sumthing. Its not really a resort. Its a restricted area for turles to come ashore and lay egss. AHA!!! A sure bet to see turtles perhaps? Rather than just sitting at a random beach hoping one would come?

It was disappointing when I'm told it was closed. They will only allow access/registration from 8pm-1am. Im just in time for a too late. Chamness. Then I lash out my nego skill and wholla. We paid TT$ 390 for the registration fees and a tourguide brought us in.

And OHMYFARKINGGOD!!! There were lots n lots of turtles there doing there business. Easily more than a dozen of them there. Its quite a small beach, so its like a freaking traffic jam there. Bloody hell, why didnt even one went to the place I waited b4?
You need to be very careful when walking along the beach. One is because you can lose your balance because of the uneven dug sand. Another is because you will stumble with one of the turtles if you are not careful. They are somehow camoflauge in the dark.

Huhuhu. So many of them. Some were coming ashore, some where leaving. Some were digging, some were laying and some were just about to cover up the egss. Magnificent creatures I must say.
Good effort by the authorities to make it a restricted area. If its not, the turtles will be dead by now. I was told that beach is the most dense for turtles egg laying beach in the world. No wonder the traffic jam (turtles jam)!!!!
The only sore sight - plenty of turtle eggs unearthed by other turtles in their sand digging process. Many of them accidently stepped over by human and other turtles. Day predators will simply come and goble them up easily. Hopefully they wont dig the nests though. Easy meals.

No picnic or photographs like last time though. Its understandable.
Fuh....so many turtles. The Malay guy said - even in Terengganu, its hard to see even one in a season.
Huhuhu. So many turtles

Waiting for sea turtles

Wolla
Its the bertelur season. After the hamsup season, its time for the suffer season. Like in Terengganu, the sea turles will come to shore to bertelur at certain time of the year. In Trinidad, its like erm.... March till July kua.
So I mah ajaks my housemate to Toco to wait for the turtles lo.

In Discoveries n such, the turtle watching is very nice geh. Dinasour-like creatures. Elegant and big. huhuhu.
Such maturity and experience in facing the challenges from the mother earth. Jilakat humans. Destroying the nature.

Anyway, here's one of the scene I took.


The road leading to this place - Toco Beach is very scary wan. Very the dark. The car only have two small chinese man and two aunties. Chamness. But as long as the car dont break down, we should be ok. hohoho.

We departed at 10.30pm, reaching around 12 midnight. Wait wait wait......2.15am. No turtles!!!! So alamaks.
Then got a few cars came. They park their cars facing the sea and on their music very the loud. Jilakats. They came for fishing. :(
Thats why we chose to leave. The turtles wont be coming if like that.
Haihs.

The only consolation is the multitude of stars there. So here's another pic.

Unknown Mani

More than a week ago, a sum of mani was banked into my account. I think, think and think. Have no idea where it comes from. Not my salary. Not my bonus. Not a refund of anything. I hold neither an investment nor a property giving a dividend of that kind of value. If have, then I am rich!!! muahahaha.
Kay, so there's one unknown source of mani I have there. I dont know what to do with it so I dumped it into bursa.

Wholla, the price of my share shot up. While everyone is talking about sacpres becoz it is being "goreng-ed", and shooting up n being in the charts n all. I never like those sentiments. Anyway, it was one of my monitored share (bought, not sacpres). Its not in the most active or most gained chart. Of course its not in the most lost too. Its those not very much looked into stock despite having considerable volume. Sei sunway volume is too low now to make it of a much interest. Jilakat ESOS (Employee Share Option Swatwat) set the price fix at RM1.80 summore.

Then a few minutes after I successfully queued for the share, it went down a little bit. Chamness!! Then a few hours later, it shot up and went into the most active chart. Stewpid speculators maybe thinking it is being goreng n wats not. But thanks to them, a day later its in the Top Gainer chart taking number 1 place. Muahaha.

Almost the same scenario as Proton share I bought the last time. The differences - Proton was bought in low volume, so the gain is small despite the perfect lowest buy, highest sell timing. This one is based on the normal not-so-lowest buy and dunno-when-to-sell timing.

I dont really know if I should sell it when the profit is hensem enuf (so i can buy other shares for the growth). Or to keep it till at least middle of this year, or the next dividend payout.
Cham cham. How?

Rat Year

Chamness. I never feel so bad after winning money.
You see, every chinese new year, I will surely donate some amount of money to Uncle Lim. Strangely, I never have any ill feelings about it. Sort of like "break fortune block bad luck" thingy for me. So my good luck actually did really continue for the rest of the years. The amount I lost not really that huge anyway. Just play for fun.

This year however, it seems that roosters will face some problem, in one part of their live. And surprisingly, the new Uncle Lim donated some money to me. Alamaks. No more breaking of fortune? Chamness.
What will be my year's outcome?
Will it be really as what my mum says? oh knoes.... or maybe oh yes?
