I won the Sports Toto 6/42 Jackpot!

sports toto win

This is not a belated April Fool’s joke – I really did strike the TOTO 6/42 Jackpot! The 1st Prize Jackpot currently stands at RM 1,234,004.69. I bought 4D at Sports TOTO (Lotto Games) on Saturday:

1118 (6)
6130 (6)
6666 (6) – Sold Out
so I got
6661 (6)

and a LP (not Lampa, Lucky Pick – the automated numbers pick system for the 6 + 1 Jackpot) for both 6/42 and 6/49. I checked the Sports TOTO website [sportstoto.com.my] last night for the numbers before I left the office and none of my 4D picks came out.

Sports-Toto-Win-Results

I checked the 6/42 and 6/49 results just for laughs since I don’t expect that to ever come out and sure enough, the 6/49 numbers were way off. I checked the 6/42 results and was about to dismiss it (since the first digit was off) when a strange realization came over me…there were a lot of matches…

The draw results for 6/42 were:
6, 13, 18, 19, 20, 33

My numbers were:
5, 13, 18, 19, 20, 22

I got the middle four digits and I wasn’t sure if that was enough for a win, so I checked using their automated results checking system:

Sports-Toto-Win

Did I Win? Yeah, 5th Prize!

Sports-Toto-Win-Prize

I surfed over to the prize payouts for the 6/42 system and found out that I have won a whopping RM 30!!!!!111

………

Fuck lar.

The numbers were just off by 1 digit in the first and last numbers. I would have been a millionaire if it wasn’t for the digit offset. The remarkable near-win made me just a 30-dollaraire now.

sports toto slip

Oh well, at least I covered my initial seeding fund and I also got a printed result from one of the peddlers that stalk the traffic light junctions while driving home (50 cents a copy) just coz I was at a red light and he was there.

The total cost for my bet yesterday was RM 19.80 for the 4D numbers (I got 6 units of each of the 3 number picks at RM 1.10 per unit) and add RM 2.20 for the 6/42 and 6/49 lucky picks (RM 1.10 each) and that totals to RM 22.

I went to cash in my winning TOTO 6/42 ticket just now and got the 5th Prize payout of RM 30. I just have enough for a pack of cigarettes after covering the costs.

Thus, I really did strike the Sports TOTO 6/42 Jackpot…but only got the 5th Prize. Oh well, RM 30 is better than nothing. πŸ™‚

Dunhill Hyperion

dunhill hyperion

Dunhill Hyperion is a blended whisky from Scotland that carries the Dunhill brand, which is better known for its tobacco products. It does have a range of palatable blended whiskies though – the Dunhill Scotch Master series featured in one of my baking adventures [sixthseal.com] (yes, I bake – in more ways than one ;)) is a premium blend.

dunhill hyperion liner

The liner note from the bottle of Dunhill Hyperion goes “Hyperion, from Alfred Dunhill, brings a new dimension of to the art of whisky blending. It marries the finesse of great age with the fresh vitality of youth to create a blend – Dunhill Hyperion”.

dunhill hyperion drink

Dunhill Hyperion retails for about RM 300 in most drinking establishments and is a pretty good whisky for the price range. It may not be single malt, but it is good for general sculling. I drank most of the bottle in one night and got pretty fucked up so I rate that as “Good”. πŸ˜‰ It also comes with a cork, another minutiae that always rates as “Good” as well in my book.

dunhill hyperion bottle keep

Behind the Scenes: The bottle keep label writing.

dunhill hyperion end

Dunhill Hyperion is a pretty good whisky…I have had a lot of Dunhill blended whiskies and I actually prefer them to “classic” brands like Mr. Daniel’s and Mr. Walker’s products. I have been drinking heavily since I was arrested for drug possession.

P/S – I’m kidding about that last bit, April Fool’s joke. I have never been arrested and thrown in jail and produced before a court. Oh, and on another totally unrelated matter, please remind me to go for confession during mass on Sunday.

Wei Seng Chicken Rice and double boiled Cantonese soup

wei seng chicken rice

Wei Seng Chicken Rice is a chicken rice shop located at Tabuan Jaya at the food court beside Choice Daily. It also boasts a repertoire of double boiled Cantonese soups in a heating element beside it which the proprietors actively promote.

wei seng soups

The double boiled Cantonese soups (broth) is held in traditional deep ceramic bowls and kept warm in a similar contraption to the double boiling method used to boil the soups. I was told that the soups have been prepared for as long as 24 hours for an authentic slow-boiling Cantonese soup. They have a lot of different soups on offer, ranging from Bitter Gourd soup to Ginseng Chicken soup.

wei seng chicken

I had their chicken rice (shared) with 3 other people and their chicken rice is alright, though not as good as other places like Suan. The rice portion is small, but cheap (a plate of chicken rice costs just RM 0.60, an unheard of price nowadays). The chicken rice itself is good, it’s seasoned well with chicken essence, but the chicken is nothing to write home about.

wei seng ginseng soup

Their double boiled Ginseng Chicken soup (RM 3) tasted good though. It has visible strands of ginseng floating inside and the broth is fairly clear (as all good broth should be). There are several chicken pieces inside and this place seems to subscribe to the less-is-more school of thought as the soup only contains ginseng and chicken.

wei seng ginseng

The Ginseng Chicken soup is a nice complement to the chicken rice – I ended up having two plates of rice. The ingredients in the soup are tender, with an almost melt-in-your-mouth texture to the ginseng. I would recommend this place for their RM 3 double boiled soups as it is hard to come by outside restaurants here. It’s best to go early as the soup seems to sell out really fast.

SugarBun's "Happy Meal" @ RM 7.88

sugarbun happy meal banner

SugarBun has come out with their very own Happy Meal (though this one doesn’t come with a toy or collectible, but legal liabilities from McDonald’s) priced at RM 7.88. I noticed the banner at the SugarBun outlet in Kenyalang, Kuching and decided to check out SugarBun’s implementation of the Happy Meal (TM McDonald’s).

sugarbun happy meal promo

The “Happy Meal” consists of:
2 pieces Broasted Chicken
1 Savory Rice (TM SugarBun)
1 Fresh Pickies (I believe they meant pickles, and “fresh pickles” is an oxymoron)
1 Soft Drink (12 oz.)
…and the font and coloring is remarkably similar to McDonald’s Happy Meal. Trademark infringement kinda similar.

sugarbun happy meal

Behold! The SugarBun Happy Meal!

sugarbun happy meal macro

Behold! …a closer look at the SugarBun Happy Meal. I honestly don’t know why they would want to name this a Happy Meal and risk litigation when it’s just a combo meal.

sugarbun happy meal toy

It does come with a toy though…kinda. You have to insert 20 cent coins to play with the toy though, and you can’t take it home with you.

SugarBun – i’m lovin’ it. πŸ˜‰

Happy Birthday Irene Chan Ai Ling! =D

irene 21st

Okay, this is a rather belated post – Irene had her birthday on the 25th of March and I got fucked up that night and also Sunday night so I didn’t post until today. I was working OT that Saturday (crunch time for a project) so we just met up for drinks at Luconia.

irene 21st white packet

I got Irene something very cheesy for her birthday. It was funny, at least with my increasingly demented sense of humor. There were three things inside, two of them I told her she could probably guess (which she did, it was plywood ;)) but she didn’t get the third one coz it’s just too cheesy.

irene 21st trio

This is me, Irene and David. I think we were pretty much fucked up by that time…at least I was. Hell, I’ve been fucked up since 7 pm. πŸ™‚

Happy Birthday Irene Chan Ai Ling [blogspot.com] ! Much <3 !

P/S – Aries rulez!!!!1oneone. You’re technically legal now, Irene! =D

A MapleStory from a Lvl 2X Swordsman

maple-story

I’m told that MMORPG players act out the deepest instincts suppressed inside the id in-game. I guess that says a lot about me.

I’ve always wanted to be a lumberjack. Just a simple axe wielding, tree chopping, lumber felling person, just like in the old days. It has been my dream since I was a wee little kid.

People grow up wanting to become a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer. I’ve always known what I wanted to do when I grow up – chop trees.

Unfortunately, my dad had different plans. Chopping trees cannot earn money, he said. Chop tree people look down on you, he said. Thus, he sent me for an overseas education when I was 15 to quell this “tree chopping fantasies” of mine.

maplestory 15

…but I did not waver from my True Purpose (TM) in life. I secretly chopped trees (and sometimes people when trees are scarce) in New Zealand. I started out with small shrubs, and graduated to tree branches.

Alas, I was sent back when the tree chopping shenanigans of mine came to light.

However, I was not to be stopped. I went to Australia to do my college and uni and started chopping trees again. I even bought an axe [sixthseal.com] early on in the blog.

maplestory aussie

I started my activities with earnest then. I started secretly twisting branches off larger trees and chopping small trees in the middle of the night. I also plucked mushrooms if I needed a quick fix. I was soon graduating to large trees and when I came back to Malaysia to work, I started moonlighting as a tree chopper, venturing into DBKL protected tree plantations to chop trees. FELDA settlements are also a frequent hangout, since I also enjoy chopping palm oil plants occasionally.

I ventured into virgin rainforests when I came to Kuching to chop timber trees with earnest (at night, of course). I even earned a moniker for my actions.

They call me the Mysterious Midnight Tree Massacre.

maplestory life

However, one fine day, I was arrested and thrown into jail for chopping trees. They said I needed a timber permit. My place was raided and all my tree chopping equipment and miscellaneous lumber was confisticated. I was filed with criminal charges of possession of timber without a permit with a court case pending. I was let out on bail several days later, despite the regulation two week minimum remand time on one condition:

I was not to chop trees or speak of it anymore.

maplestory

Filled with resentment, I started playing MapleStory [maplesea.com] and chopped virtual trees.

(I also chopped real trees sometimes, but don’t tell anyone)

There is no Bigfoot. I took a personal trip to Johor a couple of weeks ago and the trees uprooted themselves in sheer terror and started to walk, leaving those huge prints on the ground.

Glenfiddich Solera Reserve Single Malt (15 Year Old)

glenfiddich solera reserve 15

Glenfiddich Solera Reserve 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is one of the product lines of the popular Glenfiddich brand, which is the best-selling single malt Scotch whisky in the world. Glenfiddich is usually associated with the “Special Reserve” 12 Year Old variant and the “Solera Reserve” 15 Year Old single malt is a less common and more premium Scotch whisky from their product line.

glenfiddich solera reserve drink

The Glenfiddich Solera Reserve 15 Year Old single malt comes in the distinctive Glenfiddich tube box that opens on one end and the unique triangle shaped bottle. The Solera Reserve bottle is amber instead of the green tinted bottle seen in the 12 year old Special Reserve. The differences are not merely cosmetic though, the more mature 15 year old Solera Reserve has more complex notes compared to Glenfiddich 12 year old Special Reserve.

glenfiddich solera reserve 15yo

Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Solera Reserve is a Speyside single malt produced from three types of casks – traditional American bourbon, Spanish sherry and new oak. It is mixed in a large Solera vat, made of Oregon pine and the beautifully balanced single malt is left to settle in a small Solera tun before bottling. Interesting…I just grabbed that from the Glenfiddich liner notes. πŸ˜‰

glenfiddich solera reserve bottle

The Glenfiddich Solera Reserve has a more complex taste compared to the 12 Year Old Special Reserve, with a smoother and deeper flavor that reveals fruit, spice and a touch of oak. It has a long and lingering aftertaste, and is great to drink neat or with some ice. It’s a bit of a sacrilege to use mixers in single malt Scotch whiskies. Expect the Glenfiddich Solera Reserve to set you back about RM 400.

Glenfiddich has a wide range of single malt Scotch whisky from Special Reserve 12 Year Old, Solera Reserve 15 Year Old, Ancient Reserve 18 Year Old, Gran Reserva 21 Year Old, to the prestigious Glenfiddich 30 year old. I highly recommend the Solera Reserve 15 Year Old for the best price/performance ratio. πŸ™‚

The first documented instance of Internet slang making its way to SMS text

net2cell

The first documented instances of the use of medium (or rather, carrier) related linguistics are usually quite inane, as is this first instance of Internet slang semantics spilling over to SMS (Short Message Service) text in cellular phones. Just like the first electric telegram sent “What hath God wrought!” using Morse code and the earliest smoke signal transmitted the message “Ogg like meat better after pig throw in fire”, the first Internet to SMS message (Net2SMS) went:

Golden Arch Garden Laksa review

golden arch shopping mall

Golden Arch Garden Laksa (not to be confused with the Golden Arches, which sells a totally different food product) is located at Golden Arch Shopping Mall and I heard its laksa is serious fucking business.

golden arch garden laksa

Golden Arch Garden Laksa has RM 3/4/5 bowls of laksa and the RM 5 bowl, which is their flagship, has two large tiger prawns in it. The laksa booth is also the flagship of the eating establishment – it belongs to the owner.

golden arch prawns

There is a huge tray of differing sizes of prawns, which is selected depending on your order e.g. an RM 3 bowl of laksa would have small prawns while the RM 5 bowl of laksa would have two huge tiger prawns.

golden arch laksa

Behold! The legendary Golden Arch Garden Laksa. This is the large (RM 5) bowl and contains 2 huge tiger prawns in it.

golden arch laksa tiger prawn

I’m told that the proper method to partake in tiger prawn infused laksa is to pour the laksa soup down the head of the tiger prawn to allow the flavors to really shine.

Laksa – Serious Fucking Business.
