Ah Leng Char Koay Teow

and I thought I have tasted all the great and venerable Char Koay Teow in Malaysia after 8 years in Penang. But to my surprised (no buttseck here though), I miss out Ah Leng Char Koay Teow at Datuk Keramat Road. We have to wait around 1/2 hour for the meal though.

Reminiscent of old fashion....boot for guys...

When I was studying in Form 4 or 5, which is the year of 1995, there's a boot crazed among guys... yes, guys... Everyone was walking with a boot much much bigger than their leg. And so, I was also part of admirer of boots.

So during working part time in Kerry's Supermarket in 1997, there's a sales and I feel there's a boot that I like very much. I think I might like the brand more. And the cost is RM2xx ... its the probably one of the most expensive shoes I've got myself before I really working. Even nowaday, I seldom buy shoes more expensive than RM100.

And here is the boot that I bought but seldom wear.... (coz its heavy and seems like overkill)

It still looks good....

Beauty in the eyes of JP Morgan CEO (don't know if its true)

Subject: An awesome reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan to a pretty girl seeking a rich husband

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here.
I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have
style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above.
You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York.
My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married?
I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?
Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit.
If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough.
I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

An awesome reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.
My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you.
The answer is very simple, so let me explain.
Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money" : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.
However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason.
The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year.
Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position".
If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted.
It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".
Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you.
I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.
This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me.

J.P. Morgan CEO

Real solution to disable activesync in Windows Mobile and PC

In Windows mobile, use the fake server method:
1. Tap the menu tab/soft key and tap "Add Server Source"
2. Configure a server source with a dummy IP address, user id, password and domain name; these do not have to be real
3. Once configured you should have another sync source show up on your main AS screen...continue on.
4. Tap the menu soft key again and you should see that the sync schedule option is no longer greyed out.
5. Change your schedule from a timed automatic start of AS to manual under both fields
6. If you try to sync now, AS will try to contact your imaginary exchange server and that will take forever until it times out, so you can now delete the exchange server from your list of sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and will survive soft resets too.

In PC
In the above-shown Task Manager, kill the process named as wcescomm.exe.

Then, when you want to restart ActiveSync, just click Microsoft ActiveSync to restart it.

Olympus E-P1 case

Today, I'm going to show you all the case that I'm using...at the moment for my beloved camera, Olympus E-P1.

This is a very old case. Inherited from my Minolta S304 digital camera. Can put in twin lens and optical viewfinder. Furthermore, in front can put the charger although a bit packed...

This is how it looked after closed.

But when go for shooting, I rather bring this. Its lighter. And easier to take out.

This is how I would wear it...

Or this way too...
