Those photos of the two dubious records for entry into the Malaysia
Book of Records would be posted below. I reckon veritas should try for
The Largest Amount of Benzodiazepines A Person Could Eat Without
Falling Asleep since it doesn’t seem to take much to get into the
Malaysian Book of Records. πŸ˜‰ Anyway, I just came back from mamak so
I’ll just post this and head to bed. Mamak photos will be up tomorrow.

Anyway, this is a continuation from the previous day – we went to Kota Raya after lunch and caught a bus to Sunway Pyramid.

There were lots of people ice skating at Pyramid Ice.

Which made me crave ice cream for some reason…

Baskin Robbins has this Summer Sundaes sundaes going on.

We had the Tropical Luau and the Banana Bay. That new cheese cake
with chocolate ice cream flavor is pretty good. Anyway, the Tropical
Luau has a cake base and it’s okay, but now the Banana Bay is the way
to go. Very sinfully rich, heaps of caramel on top and it even has a
caramel base. Thick caramelly goodness. πŸ™‚

Melaka Fest was going on at Sunway Pyramid – a tourism to Melaka
promotional festival, where there were becas going around, carrying
people and attempting to run shoppers over and performances of all
sorts.

There were even women with umbrellas.

And tea pots, no less…

Finally, there were two “records” being displayed for uh…public appreciation.

booktower.jpg

The Tallest Book Tower in Malaysia, fashioned to look like the current tallest buildings in the world (Petronas Twin Towers).

It was made with books from Dr. Mahathir, don’t you dare dispute the
“101% garunteed sold out!” claims the publishers make. Why, I think
this tower took more than a couple of the books to make.

pushpins.jpg

The Biggest Jalur Gemilang (Malaysia’s national flag) made with push pins.

I thought it was straws and dared my gf to take one from the middle part. πŸ™‚

Anyway, that’s it for today, I’ll be working early tomorrow morning,
so I’m heading to bed. I’ll reply all the comments tomorrow, thanks for
the feedback! πŸ™‚

XM Expanded Media (Malaysia)

Yes, I’m off the unemployment line. :p I will be with XM Malaysia
starting tomorrow. I got a call from HR while I was having lunch with
my gf and her room mates. Anyway, the job means I’ll be engaged from
8:30 am – 5:30 pm (at least). This would probably not affect the
frequency of the posts if anyone who’s aquainted with the KL public
transport system could be so kind as to tell me the easiest way to get
from Medan Damansara (Jalan Setiabistari) to Jalan Sultan Ismail (at
Hotel Mutiara). πŸ™‚

The KL Monorail is not in service yet, or else I know there’s a
station very near the office building. Anyway, I’ll be taking a taxi in
the next few days to get to and from my work place, but it would be
nice to use a cheaper form of transportation considering I’m being
offered RM 1,500 per month. Well, I don’t even know what this road
connects to, but nevermind that, LRTs and buses would come later, going
to catch a cab these few days. I don’t have a car in KL.

Anyway, the photos of The Tallest Book Tower in Malaysia and The
Largest Jalur Gemilang made with push pins in Malaysia would be up
either later tonight or tomorrow, I gotta sleep earlier since I
probably would need to wake up at 7 am or something coz I don’t know
how far the office is from here. Now who’s up to enter the Malaysian
Book of Records? We could make the largest Jalur Gemilang with
er…Panadol tablets or something.

Mop Swamp

I will be leaving Sibu for KL this Sunday. There’s nothing
noteworthy to report today except that things are starting to fall into
place and preparations are basically done. I’ve opened a new bank
account with Public Bank, they issue ATM cards on the spot (during
application), which is interesting because I figured there would be a
wait. They also have an online banking system, which is useful for
paying bills. Anyway, I thought there would be a hassle involved since
I had an account with Public Bank a couple of years ago (which was
never closed) but they were not concerned about that. Now, I’ve just
got to get some funds out of a Fixed Deposit account I have in another
bank and transfer it into this account. My MyKad application has not
been successful, the place is absolutely packed every time I go in, so
I’ve decided to take advantage of the 2005 deadline and do it next time
I come back. πŸ™‚

Oh, apparently there is a lorry loaded with new mattresses driving
around the Medan Damansara area where you can buy the bulky things off
them or trade in an old mattress for a rebate of some sort. I hear it
doesn’t come at the frequency of gas and newspaper distribution
vehicles, but it’s pretty close. What an interesting concept, I’ve
never even heard of this before!
