So there was the news where a female student died in a tragic accident where her MyVi burst into flame and of course, burning her alive for being trapped in the car..
The main essence of the news is focused on the cause of the death, the BH Petrol kiosk at Taman Pertama, which is just outside my house..LOL..Okay not like outside outside..It’s nearby my house..
The NEWS goes with “A man’s desperate attempt to save a woman from her burning car was in vain because petrol kiosk attendants refused to lend him their fire extinguishers despite his pleadings.”
And so the said petrol kiosk is the BH Petrol at Taman Pertama, right further down from Taman Pertama KFC or before the Cheras Cemetery..
In this case, BH Petrol’s attendants were at fault just because they didn’t want to lend the fella (Teo Chai Yong) their fire extinguisher..
Like some letters people have wrote in to newspaper columns and all, you can say that because what you read from the newspaper is the end result so your mind is being manipulated..
I bet the attendants were doing the right thing for not opening the door despite the pleadings and all..Robbers/Thieves nowadays are very good actors..
If the news is the other way round, saying, “petrol kiosk being robbed after attendants opened door to Mat Rempits robbers after being tricked for wanting to borrow fire extinguishers”, what’s your thinking?
I bet you would be laughing and feeling angered at the same time thinking that the attendants must be stupid to believe such lies and all..Aren’t we blinded by our hypocrisy?
Rakyat has even created a Facebook page to boycott the BH Petrol station and to be honest, I dun really see cars flocking that station anymore..It’s kinda quiet..So I guess they’ve accomplished their mission?
Back to the incident, why don’t you say the fella (Teo Chai Yong) is to be blamed because there were other operating outlets as well, Shell Station and 24-hours McDonald’s for example..
Both Shell and McDonald’s is just less than 1-minute drive from that BH Petrol station..
Of course we cannot blame him because he’d tried his best to save a live but to no avail..
So who we should blame?
I must say, the authority..Our security concern is so weak that the BH Petrol’s attendants were afraid to open the door to save a live..
If only the people’s safety and security is well maintained, such incident wouldn’t have occurred..
Not to mention bout fires and all..Let’s take another example..
Just say a person trying to hitch a ride on a road side with his hand bleeding..Well he might claim that he got robbed and wanted to make a police report so he needs a lift..
Good Samaritans aside, any Malaysian with a right mind will NOT stop for the man, in fear of getting robbed instead of helping the guy..
Our fearsome mindset is being set by our beloved Government, or should I say authorities because the people’s safety are at risk!
You can’t even guarantee that you would be fine if you are at a crowded place..
Once you are surrounded by 20 Mat Rempits, you are done for..If you are a female, pray hard that you don’t get raped..
All we hear all day and all night long was policemen taking bribes, giving summons for no valid reasons, etc etc..
I know not all policemen or authorities are like that, there are bound to be some good ones but the bad ones are giving them a bad image!
Worst of all, these complains and news fallen on deaf ears..Not like actions will be taken against those who take bribes and all..
Okay bribe is another thing..What I’m trying to say is that the authorities can’t even provide a proper security to the people that the rakyat have to live in fear!
Do you feel safe even when you are walking alone in broad daylight? NO~!!! Let alone night time!
So people please, look at the broader picture and think carefully whether you are doing the right..There are more to it than what you see with your naked eyes..
Think wise

If you have been using TweetDeck for your Twitter, Microsoft Outlook for your email, and organizer for your schedule plannings, why not merge everything into one, that is iTalkWhoa..
The new iTalkWhoa is a Social Media client aka website-cum-application-cum-portal that has few things all merged into one platform..
*iTalkWhoa interface*
As you can see from the picture above, on the sidebar it has buttons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Notes, Twitter, and SMS..
As for introduction, let’s just look at the functions available..First off, Mail..
*Mail settings*
In Mail, you can actually integrate your mail (i.e - Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo) with iTalkWhoa..
There’s a long list of mail servers to be chosen from and don’t be surprise if you see any uncommon ones..
Once you have integrate your email with iTalkWhoa, the function of push-email can be enabled for emails to be pushed to any kind of mobile phones!
Good thing is it has 1GB storage for a default account and can sign up for additional storage with charges apply..
I personally think the Push-Email feature is very good because not all mobile phone has the Push-Email built-in so this feature in iTalkWhoa will definitely benefits those who have older versions of mobile phone without having to upgrade their mobile phone..
*Calendar and Notes*
In Calendar and Notes, it acts as an organizer where you could plan your meetings or schedules in a proper timetable with few options to view it..
This can be quite useful for me as I always tend to forget my own schedules especially when it comes to events and meetings coz I sometimes either messed up or have forgotten some of it..
Other than the conventional Mails and Events, iTalkWhoa has even integrated a Twitter-client into its portal..
*iTalkWhoa Twitter*
It’s a good thing that iTalkWhoa has the initiative to include one of the fastest moving application on the Internet and I bet it will not die at least in the next 5 years..
Upon signing up, you will receive RM5 FREE in your account and that RM5 is ready to be used for SMS..
I tried it on my mobile phone and this is what it shows..
*The text I sent to myself*
It’s kinda fun if you send it to your friends who are staying overseas and all..
Once you have chosen the “Country” of the recipient the cost of SMS will appear beside the number..
So you don’t have to worry about hidden charges and all..Just sign-up and check out the rates!
As for VoIP service, you can use it to call any mobile or fixed line..You can also chat for free with another iTalkWhoa user..
Call rates applies to different countries..
I think I’ll leave the more in-depth talkings in next entry when I got used to the portal..
Want to know more please visit iTalkWhoa..

I bet many of you heard of Glee, watched Glee, talked about Glee, and some went gee gee gee gee gee..Eeeee~~geli~~~..
Okay, enough of nonsense..As much or as little as you know, Glee is an American musical comedy-drama that is something much similar to High School Musical (HSM) kinda thingy..
Well from this statement you would have already knew that I don’t watch Glee (nor HSM) but I’m not outdated as it seems..
I don’t watch series nor drama to begin with (I only watch HK drama and Japanese anime) so if you tell me so and so character like another so and so character or whatever, sorry I catch no balls..
But like I said, I’m an up-to-date person, I listened to their OST, at least..
Hey, they won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy, so I must give face to at least listen to its OST right..
*Glee*
In their compilation OST of “Glee : The Music, Volume 1″ is a whole bunch of old and new songs but sang by the casts of Glee..It’s a 17-tracks album with the following songs..
1. Don’t Stop Believin’ – Journey
2. Can’t Fight This Feeling – REO Speedwagon
3. Gold Digger – Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx
4. Take A Bow – Rihanna
5. Bust Your Windows – Jazmine Sullivan
6. Taking Chances – Platinum Weird

8. Maybe This Time – Liza Minnelli

14. Bust A Move – Young MC
15. Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond
16. Dancing With Myself – Generation X
17. Defying Gravity – Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoworth and the cast of Wicked
The opening “Don’t Stop Believin’ “ by Lea Michele and Cory Monteith is quite a warm-up before you go further into the rest of the tracks..
I can’t really tell you which one is my favourite because some of the hit songs sound good in their own version if compared to the original singers’..
The whole compilation album is pretty good nevertheless..I like it a lot even though I didn’t watch the series..
You can also check out other songs that were being featured in the series HERE..
Now we’ve talked about one of the most talk-a-bout series up-to-date, it’s time for some serious business..

Here’s another webcam post which I had with one of the chicks in my MSN list..
This time it’s Ruirui, a Hongkie now studying in Sunway..She’s been staying in Malaysia for more than 1 year and has adapted to our slang as well..
I’ve yet to meet her in-person, still webcam comes in handy in this kind of situation..
*Ruirui*
If you have visited her blog, you would see her with big eyes and all just like a typical Hongkie/Taiwanese girl you usually saw on TV..
But in here, no! So I asked her whether she did photoshop her photos and all, and she blamed it on make-up..
Now she looks like Korean more than Hongkie..
Normal Malay words like belanja, sayang, bodoh, pandai, etc etc is very much a norm to her already..
Local slangs like tapao, ffk, yamcha, kene tiu, mamak, etc are not strangers to her anymore..
*Trying out webcam functions*
In here you can see her using “senget wan wtf” very fluently wtf..
It’s kinda funny and amusing to see a Hongkie understands our slang and reply using one especially when it comes to Cantonese..
HK-Cantonese and Malaysian-Cantonese have slight difference in slang, such as tapao, in Malaysia it means “take-away” when you want to buy food but in HK it means to wrap-up a corpse..
The word tapao in HK is actually very if it’s used in daily communications..
A very interesting and active girl when it comes to chatting..I love it! Had good laughs when I talked to her every time..LOL~!!
You want her MSN or FB? LOL..Work it out your way man..Don’t ask me 
P/S - It took me weeks to get her MSN when I got to know her on Innit, let alone FB..How many of them got her contacts? You could guess it already
