During my trip back to my wife’s hometown, My in laws decided to go for a karaoke session in Kuching. What surprised me is the price for karaoke”ing”. With just RM 7 you can sing for 7 whole hours!
There is no catch! All you have to do is buy a drink and you can sing for 7 hours. Whats worse, its on weekend (Saturday). Time allocated = 12pm – 7pm.
Anyway there are some drawbacks in the karaoke. There is no food served. Even if u have the money to pay, you still cant buy them there. Well since you are there for 7 hours definitely you will get hungry.
Before that, my sister in law already bought packets of junk food. Guess the price… Mr Potato which might cost you RM 3 costs RM 5 each pack. In other words you only get Mr potato for the price of Chicken rice. Not worth it.
There is a sign saying no outside food allowed so I asked the waiters I am hungry and you don’t sell food. What can you do for me? Well they allowed me to bring in food later. I got a chicken rice for my sister in law (guess what its only cost me RM 4.50. RM 0.50 cheaper than Mr Potato). I also bought 2 Loh mai kai RM 2.50 each and 4 siew mai RM0.50 each. All these are definitely better than buying MR Potato in the karaoke
At the end of the session, its only RM 62.00 for the whole session for 6 drinks and one jug of Sprite. For this amount, I could only go Red Box for 2 pax for 3 to 4 hours. I think the next time I get back to my in laws house I will definitely visit this place again. This way I can sing my lungs out and release all the stress.
Anyway its kinda pressure as all my sister in laws could read Chinese. When I sing Chinese songs I feel pressured (because I might sing the wrong words since I memorize them)
As a conclusion, its still worth it. I knew I enjoyed and my daughter also had a great time with all the junks she gets to eat. Since its entertainment session I thought its ok for her to enjoy junks as well. She had been a good girl throughout the whole session. =)

First day after a week of holiday
Today is the first day I reported to work after a week of holiday. It was great but the side effect is: Eyes are heavy, legs are lazy but the body is energetic, and the brain is processing fast.
Anyway day 1 of work is always scary. I do not know what happen last week. Many things changed since a week ago. All kinds of problems arises and I am afraid to go to work.
The fact is after a week I have close to 200 mails to read, tons of meeting to attend and million of shits to clear. It will be a long day today. Pick up your head and face the challenges that are coming.
Today’s Agenda:
1. Clear Shits
2. Meeting
3. Meeting
4. More meeting
Face the fact! That’s job!

Toilet training failure
It’s a sad thing to happen when my daughter failed toilet training. Yesterday, I was home earlier than usual and my wife decided to toilet train her yesterday. Therefore, we decided not to let her wear diapers and kept on reminded her that if she needs to pee, tell us.
It was about 7pm when I got home. At about 7.30pm, she peed without letting us know and so we will have to change for her. It was still early to change her to pyjamas and so we continued not to wear diapers for her.
Again we kept remaining her about telling us when she needs to pee. After dinner, we let her play for a little longer and at about 8.30, we saw some liquid coming out from her. Yup, she peed without warning again. This time it came with a big bad odor and as my wife checked, its certified! The pee pee came along with a poo poo.
My wife wanted me to wash for her but due to laziness, I declined. As she carried my daughter to the toilet I heard a sound “PHIAK” and there it is stuck on the floor. A big bad chocolate ice cream. I cant stop myself from shouting at my wife “Hello, how you carry her? See what’s on the floor!”
What happens next? Guess who will have to clean up the mess? Seriously I felt that my wife is taking revenge for my laziness. (But actually I know it’s an accident). Anyway my wife and I can’t stop laughing about it. As I was writing this blog, I can’t stop smiling as I think about the chocolate ice cream.
Anyway the morale of the story is… GUYS don’t be lazy. Instead of cleaning my daughter’s butt, I have to pick up the ice cream with nothing but a piece of tissue in between. And also mop the floor. Funny how things go.
More toilet training? Well I think I will pass that. Let her wear diapers all the time until she is shy enough to remove it. (I talk the talk but I think I will still toilet train her)

All about condoms
For a start, some people had been asking me where is the Durex advert that I had been saying? Well, its not always there. The advert sometime there and sometimes not, just like Chipsmore.
Anyway back to my topic, I’ve checked wikipedia regarding condoms and to my surprise, it’s a whole lot of information. Who would have guessed that condoms could be used in many ways and so much history in it.
Lets start with some background of the subject. Condoms have histories dated back over 4 centuries ago. The most basic use of it is for pregnancy prevention and also to avoid STD (sexually transmitted disease). Well until here most of us might have knew about it. Its waterproof, durable and elastic. I am sure you knew it too.
The most common material used is latex but some are made from polyurethane, polyisoprene, or lamb intestine. Some history check also shows that in the ancient days, the Chinese used oiled silk paper as condom (glans: a device only covers the top of the penis) or lamb intestine. (Yucks, imagine your sex partner is also doing it with a lamb intestine). In japan, tortoise shell and animal horn is also used. (I could not imagine whether your partner is having sex with you or the animal horn and shell. They are so hard and you might not feel anything.)
Despite the benefit of birth control and avoiding STD, some religion were against the use of condoms. They believe that its immoral to use them. Some also believes that its good to have STD around because it’s the karma for random sex.
Over the years, condoms had been improved in many ways. Today, condoms are more reliable, and also thinner (you can feel more now!)
In March 2003, Switzerland announced that they will produce smaller condoms called “hotshot” specially made for boys aged 12 – 14 years old. (huh, sex at 12? Lucky boys)
Types of Condom:
1) Latex (rubber)
- Most common
- Elastic
- ISO (ISO 4074 Natural latex rubber condoms)
- Used with lubricants ; reduces rubber elasticity
- With Vytex (to remove 90% of proteins responsible for allergy reactions)
2) Synthetic (non-rubber man made)
- Commonly made from polyurethane.
- Other materials: AT-10 resin, polyisoprene
- Better than latex due to better heat conduct, less sensitive with temperature, longer shelf-life, less allergenic, does
not have odor, no protein
- Cons compared to latex: less elastic (more likely to slip & break), more expensive
3) Lambskin
- Good: more sensation
- Bad: Pores on the material allows STD to happen, less allergenic compared to latex, expensive, pores large enough to allow sperm to pass through
4) Spermicidal
- Added with spermicidal, nonoxynol-9
- Study shows that condoms lubricated with spermicidal has no additional benefit in birth control
- Have shorter shelf life
- May cause urinary-tract infections in women
- With frequent use of Nonoxynol-9 increases the risk of HIV transmission
- May have stopped production
5) Textured
- Made to increase sexual pleasure
- Targeted on G-spot & frenulum
- Studded condoms should be avoided because some women experience irritation during intercourse
There are also female condoms in the market where the condom is worn by women. Well I had never seen one before in the market. So its difficult to imagine how to use them
Other uses:
1) Infertility treatment
a. A procedure to encourage child birth for those who may have problem
b. To reduce women’s natural anti-sperm antibodies
c. However no proven clinical test that it could improve pregnancy rate
2) non-lubricated condom over the muzzle of the rifle barrel in order to prevent barrel fouling by keeping out detritus
3) Covering virginal ultrasound probe with a condom reduces the amount of blood and vaginal fluids that the technician must
clean off between patients
4) Hold water during emergency situation
5) Smuggle drugs and cocaine to place the drug in the rectum.
6) Cover microphone to make underwater recording
7) Condoms are used by engineers to keep soil samples dry during soil tests
8) Condoms are used as a one-way valve by paramedics when performing a chest decompression in the field. The decompression
needle is inserted through the condom, and inserted into the chest. The condom folds over the hub allowing air to exit
the chest, but preventing it from entering
Now, the biggest problem now it’s the disposal. If you flush it, it clogs your toilet. If you throw it at the garbage disposal, the rodents will eat it as food. You throw into the sea, it will pollute the environment. What is the best way to dispose it? If you have any idea, feel free to write down some comments.
According to wikipedia, there is also some high-tech condoms in research but still yet to be introduced to the market. Things like spray on condoms or invisible condoms still have some problems to overcome. Well just see whatever future condoms might be.

Long chat with my friends. 7 hours of chatting?!?! That’s crazy
On 26th June 2010, Me, my wife & daughter went to visit a very close friend at his house in Bkt Jelutong. We went along with Ewan and his fiancé. All the three of us, Me, Ewan & the host Chiew Long, had recently bought a house and coincidently all of us bought houses developed by Sime Darby.
Chiew Long bought it first, then Ewan and lastly me. We spent about 7 hours talking about anything and I think it’s a very great thing. At first I was afraid that my wife would be bored but somehow she have a great chit chat session with their wifes too.
Anyway, we have a lot of discussion about everything my wife and I got many valuable experiences and opinions about home improvement. All these ideas are useful for us to develop our future home.
Since then, I had never stop thinking about my house. Yes at times I may have some small argument with my wife when we have some conflicting ideas about how the house shall look like but we can always compromise.
My daughter also found a friend! Chiew Long’s son. Hahahaha. Anyway I enjoyed the night although we basically did nothing except chatting. Its been a long time since I met up with them. If my memories are right, its been at least 1 year since we met.
As I am writing this blog, it also brings memories about how I helped Chiew Long to fetch his wife home when he married and also how Chiew Long helped me to drink all the alcohol when I married.
Now… Both me and Chiew Long are looking forward to Ewan’s marriage. LOL we even pressured Ewan to make babies. MAN we are like Ewan’s mom forcing him to leave his seeds at early age. Funny how things turn out but it was hell of a time.

Life without helpers
Its been a very long week last week since both my Executives are away for business trip. Now I will have to do all those work all by myself since last week until next week. Next week one of them will be back. I hope things will get smoother then.
Currently I am doing 3 man’s job. Mine, and the other 2 executives. Life is tough. I am tired both mentally and physically. I am so looking forward to the coming week.
Anyway, though it’s a busy week, it’s also a fast week. Time flies when u are busy. That’s something that I could confirm. It had been unfair for my wife & daughter because I basically spend less time with them.
I even have to work on Saturday and therefore, the weekly cleaning had been done my my wife alone. She did a very good job on it this week and my room is squeakily clean. My part? Well I did it yesterday (Sunday). That is the least I could do for them.
Hey at least I cleaned the toilet. My wife wanted to do it as well but I told her I will do it. Although 2 days late but I still did it. My wife have sensitive skin so its better that I do it so she wont come complaining that her hand hurts. Heheheh.
I am still busy this week but I think I can spare this 10 minutes writing this blog
