这就是我自创的“五福临门”。。。哈哈！
希望今年每个人都活得幸幸福福，健健康康！
Nak Bayar Saman Pun Susah!
Still remember last week a hungry police stopped me asking for "belanja" but his mission failed and slapped me with a piece of saman? At first, I wanted to wait for the date given and attend to court. But I was advised by someone to pay the saman early (within one week) to avoid further inconveniences and to enjoy the discounts! Yes, MEGASALES is over but they do have discounts for saman. Great deal!
Anyway, I went to the one and only Balai Polis Trafik KL Thursday night after work to check if they are still open for business. Eventually, the policeman at the main gate informed that they are only opened during office hours 8.00am to 5.00pm. And told us that they are even opened on Saturday and Sunday. I was like "Wow! That’s good". Then, I planned to come again early in the morning on Saturday, before my work.
And here comes Saturday morning…
I woke up early and drove all the way down the one and only Balai Polis Trafik KL, which is located along Jalan Tun HS Lee, behind Plaza Warisan and Uda Ocean (easier to say, the old VI area), to pay my saman. Now, another policeman at the main gate told me that they are only opened at 9.00am on Saturday. "Oh… my Saturday morning sleep…". He told me to ‘pergi minum dulu’. What to do? I went back to the car and wanted to drive to the nearest mamak stall for a drink. Eventually, I found out that parking in KL area is so difficult. So, I drove back to the police station, stopped there and waited until 9.00am.
At 9.00am sharp, I walked in to the saman counter. It’s not opened yet! But a few other "offenders" were there already. I joined in the crowd and waited along. The counter however began their transaction at around 9.15am. Well, no surprise that their timing is slower than ordinary Malaysians.
The counter was separated into 2 division; one for checking and another one for payment. I lined up at the checking counter first. I told that guy to check how much should I pay and if there’s any other saman under my name. He told me the existing one is RM50.00 only after discount (OP: RM100.00). He also said that I have another saman, which is a speed trap taken in Bentong in March 2008, which cost RM200.00 after discount (OP:RM300.00). I was like, "Huh?! How come? I am a snail driver worr…?! When was that? Could be the time Mein & I went to Kuantan last year…" But without any way to object, I have to pay for that saman. So, I walked towards the payment counter and paid RM250.00 under the name of charity to PDRM.
For anyone else who want to pay their saman, you can visit Balai Polis Trafik in Jalan Tun HS Lee and their business hour is :
Weekday : 8.00am – 5.00pm
Saturday : 9.00am – 12.00pm
No mention of opening on Sunday.
A Sneak Preview of My CNY
We have some sort decorated the house with a special one-of-its-kind CNY tree. It’s actually the same Christmas tree we used for X’mas last month. Just switch the deco items to some CNY stuff and viola!
Another thing is that I’ve received "the" card today, from a very special person. It’s the greeting card from YB Teresa Kok. I visited her blog early this week and there was this CNY greetings she posted and asked anybody who’s interested to get a hardcopy of the card to send in their name and address. I gave it a try and I really got it from her; with her autograph some more! Wow! Very impressive! Thank you very much for the greeting card-cum-calendar. Extremely thoughtful. Please keep up the fantastic job!

Very good service and I have learnt one thing from this purchase – online purchase is not that dangerous after all. But, of course, you need to find a good seller for the best result.
看了《女人不坏》，更加懂得愛。。。
真的好累。昨晚去看了《女人不坏》，讓我有了對女人的另一种看法。這故事的情節我就免得講了。我想講一下每一位女主角的角色和特性。故事裏頭有三位各有各精彩的女人：
第一位 – 周迅
原來周迅真的那麽有天分。她不但拍文藝片好，她拍戲劇也那麽出色。她在戯裏的打扮很出眾。戯開始的時候，她的頭髮好像"林阿珍"，眼眶大大的。又丑又難看。但是勝在搞笑。她演的角色很desperate。 常常渴望有男人愛。但卻得不到，直到她遇見了馮德倫。我在想，在我們日常生活中，這樣的人應該都蠻多的。渴望大，心機重，但若遇到自己喜歡的，就會付出她們的一切！
第二位 – 張雨琦
看了整套戯，都不知道她是誰。一直以爲她是新人。只是覺得她很美，有一點像梁洛詩和宋慧喬。剛才上網才發現，原來她就是拍《長江七號》的女老師。在戯裏，她演個女強人，一位很想證明自己是靠自己本事而不是美貌來成功的女強人。她一直相信她自己的能力。她相信女人是不用靠男人都可以成功和開心的。。。直到她遇見了方中信。很好奇，會不會現實中的女強人都是這樣想的呢？
第三位 – 桂綸美
重以前的《藍色大門》就很欣賞她。覺得《不能說的秘密》幫了這位才女很大的忙。在戯裏面，她的角色和她以往的角色有很大的差別。沒看過那麽粗魯，豪放的桂綸美。但是覺得她在這部戯的故事和戯份不夠突出。她演一個常常幻想自己和一個大明星拍拖，我覺得她有一點變態的跡象，但是很搞笑。我看在現實生活中真的會有這一种人，會常常幻想自己的愛人就是自己喜歡的偶像。
