Siapa punya salah?

What if, one day you were already late for your appointment and you just couldn't find any parking lot. You were so desperate that you would park at any first available spot eventhough they may be illegal. Finally after minutes of desperation filled with cursing, you found a spot and you quickly fill up the spot. Nicely done! Took out your notebook, put on your tie and then you quickly noticed that you parked along a yellow line... bah! What do you do? You looked at the watch and you are already 15 minutes late.

"Nevermind", you thought to yourself.

The meeting went on well! Another great day. Another great report for your boss. Another...

"What the...!!!! Where is my CAR???!!!!!"

The road that held all the cars an hour ago was empty now. Clean. Just the yellow line.

"Okok, dun panic. Nobody would want to steal your car. It's just a mediocre middleclass piece of sh*t!"

So you hailed a cab. Next destination, car compound centre. Did a check up with the most unfriendly man but you knew you had to put up with.

"Ah, park tepi jalan somemore! Kita punya govenmen suda bagi parking lot lagi mau cincai park. Ha, apa lagi? Bayar la!"

You deserve the penalty. Just pay up and get the hell out of the place. Shame and guilt followed sneaking closely. You must get away from the place immediately. You found your car parked along a few other cars. More unlucky drivers. Got your keys, unlocked the car. Turn the ignition on. Ahhhh the sound of the engine purrrrr-ing. Great! Next destination, OFFICE!

Wait. Something is wrong. The car won't move. Yes, it's on "D". D means drive you guess but it just won't move... wait a minute, there's also a crack on your windshield. This is not good! You got out of the car and start to take a closer look. Dents on your front bumper. You suspect that the car was towed on the front. Which means the back wheels was running on the road! The dents were bad enough but this is worst. Your gearbox has just been condemned. Not to mention the crack on your windshield...

"Apa ni? You have just condemned my car. Look at my windshield. Look at my front bumper. Now my car won't even start! How did you tow the car?"

"Huh? Mana saya tau? Saja jaga saja. Lain kali jangan cincai parking la. Lu cincai parking siapa punya salah? Kalau lu park bai bai (baik-baik) saya mau tow kar? Kalau tak da tow, lu punya kereta kondem ka? Siapa punya salah?"

What would you do?
Love without heavy boundary?

I was at Mid Valley last week seeing a customer of mine. Since it was Mid Valley, one of the leading shopping complex in KL, I had to take some time off after the appointment with my customer and indulge in some windows shopping. Well, of course I stop by shops that strike my interest and alas I found myself in SPEEDY VIDEO.

Something caught my eyes while browsing through hundreds of music and video titles. It was a picture of a very handsome man with 2 girls. Well both the girls were wearing identical dress and one of them is FAT. I took a closer look and it says "Highest grossing film in Korea surpassing My Sassy Girl"

The title reads "(Mi-nyeo-neun Goi-ro-wa)" in English (200 pounds beauty)

okok, I must confess that I saw the trailer when I pass by a few videoo shops. Perhaps I am just justifying why in the world I spent RM30 buying a korean movie heh heh..

Anyway, the movie started off in a very interesting way, how this fat girl was trying her best to win the man of her dreams, with some sort of a medium seeking advise and heavenly intervention for her "future". But clumsiness is the attribute of being fat (I think I am getting clumsier lately) and she killed the scene by condemning the whole place up.

With that, she started of the movie biographing, taking the audience into her HUGE life

But that's not what the movie is all about. It's a lot to do with her struggle as a fat girl and how everything changes when with a stroke of luck she became as thin as a model. But somehow the man of her dreams were still able to catch some old habits of hers and begin suspecting that she was the fat girl all along. Also, how much are you willing to sacrifice to gain the world? Well in this case, to be thin?

It's a very peculiar love story but I guess this is how you break away from being "stereotype". Girl likes guy, guy likes fat girl? Fat girl get thin guy misses fat girl? Intrigued? Should still be in your local video mart.

A soldier was captured by the enemy when he was seperated from his troops. The enemy said to him, "We're gonna execute you. But today we felt generous. We're gonna let you choose how you're gonna die. If you tell a lie, you'll be shot. If you tell the truth, you'll be hanged."

What statement did the soldier made to set himself free??

This few riddles has been circulating around for some time but for the fun of it let's just dig it out and see if there's anyone out there who has got the logic next to a CPU . Let arrange it from the easiest untill the HARDEST!

1. You have 2 containers, 5 litres and 3 litres. There's water scource near you and you can draw water from it to the containers as much as you want. How do you get exactly:
(A) 4 litres of water
(B) 1 litre of water
(SUPER EASY!!!!)

2. Ali, Ahmad and Ah Kau went out for dinner at Kedai Mamak Cicak Mee Goreng. Ah Kau wanted to spend Ali and Ahmad for the dinner that costs RM45, but Ah Kau is short of cash. Ali has RM25 and Ahmad has also RM25, so they both agreed to "pinjam" Ah Kau. Now Ah Kau has RM50 and he paid the dinner for RM45 and he has a balance of RM5. Ah Kau decides to repay each of his friends RM1 and now Ah Kau has RM3 and he owes both Ali and Ahmad RM24 each.
PROB: (owe) ALI RM24 + AHMAD RM24 = RM48 and Ah Kau has RM3 .... RM48+RM3 = RM51? How come?
(NOT SO DIFFICULT LA!)

4. There are 10 cigaratte boxes, of which each box has 10 sticks of cigaratte, of which each stick is 1gram each. One of the boxes contain sticks of cigarattes with 1.1grammes. Now, with an electronic weighing machine, how do you determine which of the boxes is the one with 1.1gram cigaratte sticks WITH JUST 1 TIME WEIGHING? (once you put on the weighing machine you cannot take out anything or put on anything anymore - meaning once you put something on the weighing machine you must be able to determine the cigaratte box with 10 1.1gram cigaratte sticks)
(DIFFICULT LEH! AH BOY, AH B cannot answer ha! Coz they knew the answer already!)

Those who can answer Q3, bravo! It took me 2days and 2 nights trying to figure out the answer. My programmer collegue came out with teh answer in less than 15 minutes time.
