Bye-bye Maxis
by atai @ 21:55 | Comments (4) | Filed under: updates

We acknowledge your request to move. Thank you for being with Maxis and we hope to serve you again in the future. For further queries, please call 1800 821 123.

Got the text message above this morning…

I’ve been with Maxis for about 10 years already. But I don’t feel appreciated by Maxis. My call rates aren’t any cheaper. I don’t get free t-shirts. No free concert tickets. No free movie passes…

So today, its “Bye-bye Maxis” and “Hello, Yellow Coverage Fellow…”

Yeah, I know some will be shocked that I’ve moved to Digi since I’ve always ‘whacked’ this provide and calling them a company with plans for kids and teenagers… Hmmm… Well, things change and I’ve become a kid… ;)

My number remains the same…

From Wikipedia:
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut onto the professional music scene in 1968 at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5. He then began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the “King of Pop” in subsequent years, his 1982 album Thriller remains the world’s best-selling album of all time and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world’s best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
by atai @ 23:17 | Comments (3) | Filed under: misc, ramblings

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen starts on the 24th June 2009.

Transformers 2 movie poster

But it seems like everyone I know has already watched the movie in the past two days… What kind of sneak preview is it when there are so many sessions and everyone actually watches the show before the official opening day?

Looks like I might end up watching this alone if Mrs Tai isn’t up to it…

Hectic week
by atai @ 21:17 | Comments (0) | Filed under: updates

It has been a hectic week.

I was down with sore throat and blocked nose… I was worried I somehow contracted A(H1N1) virus and was on medical leave on Tuesday. Also, my boss was in town for a few days — performance review, etc…

Right now, making full use of the weekend to rest… Started to feel worse again yesterday evening… *sigh*

Dog stories…
by atai @ 18:29 | Comments (0) | Filed under: misc

I stumbled on this and I think this is something I must share…

>

For many of us, when we see a dead animal or accident on the road, most of the time, we slow down not to help but just to take photos and perhaps a number… So its really touching to see how the dog behaves is such kind and loving manner…

Unfortunately, the injured dog died, as reported on this website: http://www.sonnyradio.com/herodog.html

And if you’re wondering how is the Pulau Ketam Dog Rescue Mission, seems like things are looking good. The rescue missions are still on -going. There are many touching stories, including one about Kuning, who had been abandoned on the island but managed to swim away… Kuning plays an important role in the rescue missions…

From Malay Mail

Furry Friends Farm (FFF) principal Sabrina Yeap said that Kuning did not know what the rescue missions were about when they first started on May 2.

“We asked for the fishermen’s help but because of the jellyfish and sea snakes, we had discouraged them to go into the water. Unexpectedly, Kuning swam to the island one day. Some of the dogs there followed him and swam back out. It was as though he understood we were trying to lure out the dogs,” related Yeap.

“The fishermen would then place cages on the boat and coax the swimming dogs into climbing onto the boats and straight into the cages.”

Another morning glory gone…
by atai @ 18:17 | Comments (1) | Filed under: setia alam

The missing morning glory seed that grew into a plant died… Seems the strong winds the night before actually broke the poor plant. Saw the stem still upright while the leaves were on the ground, severed at the stem… *sigh*

Chillies…!
by atai @ 19:17 | Comments (0) | Filed under: setia alam

I planted some chillies a few weeks back. After weeks of watering, fertilising and praying (it has been a long time since I planted anything), we finally have chillies…

Chillies I planted

Unfortunately, I had mixed up the chillies seeds when I planted them. So I’m not too sure if these are the big ones or the small cili padi.

Plucked them and tried them over dinner today… The were fragrant — you could really smell the chilli. But they were not hot or spicy. I think these could be the big ones. I remember using the seeds from a very spicy cili padi as I wanted only spicy cili padi. Oh well, next round, I’ll just wait for them to grow bigger…

Got another two more pots of chillies on its way… :)

The morning glory story…
by atai @ 12:17 | Comments (2) | Filed under: setia alam

The morning glory Mrs Tai asked me to take care died. I think it started to die shortly after my flowers in my garden post.

I really don’t know what happened. I gave it enough water, fertiliser, etc… Then one day, it just decided to slowly dry up. Started to turn all brown on the leaves, then the stem…

When it was almost all dried up, I found some seeds. Took all five of them and put it aside while I continued with my gardening work. As I was about to put them into pots, I noticed one seed was missing…

Grrrr… Now I’ve got only four left. Planted them and about 2 weeks later… :)

The new morning glory
Two out of four seeds have grown into small plants. The pot at the ‘bottom’ is the dried up morning glory.

The missing seed now a plant...
The missing seed also a plant now!
