Stupid salesman

James Bum — Thu, 12 Nov 2015 08:26:38 +0800

Another reason why I hate salesman: they are stupid and rarely read. And how the hell can u lose consciousness in a video chat? It's not like you can drug a person on-line?

Man blackmailed after sex video chat

IPOH: It was a relationship so whirlwind that he was asked to engage in a sex video chat within an hour after meeting on Facebook.

The 28-year-old health product salesman, who only wished to be known as Ng, said he met someone named “Mayumi Chua” on the social media site on Monday.

“She just popped up on my Facebook chat and wanted to be friends. She claimed to be an Indonesian working in Europe.

“I’m a salesman, I am used to adding new ‘friends’ so I could sell my products to them,” he told a press conference organised by Perak MCA Public Service and Complaints Bureau chief Jimmy Loh yesterday.

Ng said he chatted with Mayumi Chua for about 40 minutes, adding the woman asked for his Skype account so that they could do a video chat.

About 20 seconds into the video chat, the woman began to strip and play with herself.

“I lost consciousness soon after and woke up the next day to find that she had sent me a video of me naked and performing some lewd acts that I have no recollection of,” he claimed.

“She wanted RM4,000 from me and only gave me 30 minutes to make the transaction but I don’t have that kind of money,” he added.

Ng said he saw the video being posted on his Facebook page later that afternoon.

“She uploaded four video clips and also shared them on my friends’ Facebook page,” he said.

“Honestly, I’m not entirely sure if the girl in the photo is even the one I saw in the video chat. Her face was blurred and she was only showing her body,” he added.

Ng said he has heard of incidents similar to his situation but never thought he would fell victim.

“I rarely read the news but I have heard about these incidents.

“My girlfriend and family already know about this. I’ve deactivated my Facebook account,” he said.

Ng said he had lodged reports with the police and the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission.

Pro cyclist come in!

James Bum — Sun, 15 Mar 2015 09:34:38 +0800

Wanna ask all /k pro cyclists is it possible for me to change the gear shifter located on handle bar to another better one? The current one feels too plasticky and flimsy.

My bike the gear is rear cassette and derailleur only... front crank don't have gear one so on my handlebar also one side only the gear shifter. It's a Shimano 6 speed btw but maybe cheap one cos the whole thing is plastic

Go other 6 speed shifter compatible with it?

Unwanted African-Malay babies

James Bum — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 08:53:48 +0800

QUOTE

BABIES born out of wedlock between Malay women and their African lovers are not being adopted from shelters, reported Harian Metro.

Pertubuhan Kebajikan Baitul Fiqh, a halfway home for troubled women in Subang, has seen nine such cases since 2009.

Home founder Haliza Abdul Halim said the unwed mothers were usually aged between 17 and 23, adding that there was even one woman who was made pregnant twice by two African men.

“In all these cases, the babies had to be raised by members of the mother’s family or her relatives because no one else wanted to adopt them from our home,” she said.

Haliza said there was even a case where a baby was returned after staying with her adoptive family for only three days. The adoptive family did not hate the baby, she said, but could not bear to face the uncertainty of the child’s future.

“They were unwilling to take the risk of the child being looked down upon by the community – especially after they (adoptive parents) pass away – because of the obvious differences in the baby’s features,” she said.

Sexy calendars

James Bum — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:32:14 +0800

The last time I got these sexy calendars featuring scantily clad women (mostly from internet no doubt) was a few years ago.

I thought due to the cultural sensitivities and political correctness they were gone. But surprisingly one company sent some sexy calendars to my workplace few weeks ago.

Does your company or workplace got these calendars too?

Yesterday I met a late 90s early 2000s Ah Beng

James Bum — Sun, 08 Feb 2015 21:09:35 +0800

Yesterday I saw an Ah Beng whose style I thought should have died 10~15 years ago:

1) Green+blond hair, cropped on the sides and back leaving a disheveled heap of lalang looking mop on his head.

2) Skinny as hell

3) Colorful patterned shorts. Not tight and goes beyond the knees. Has strings/ fasteners dangling on the side.

4) Still blasting techno "God Is a Girl", phone ringtone is techno too.

5) Drives a "wiralution" and rides a 2 stroke suzuki RG (I think it was an RG)

So /k if I'm not mistaken the modern Ah Beng should be like this right:

1) Hairstyle: Undercut with pompadour styled with pomade

2) Slightly buff cos go to gym

3) Tight solid colors, no pattern shorts that goes above the knees

4) Not sure what songs modern Ah Bengs listen to nowadays

5) Drives godcar

Should I inform him to update his style? Also what other modern Ah Beng stuffs that I may have missed out? Enlighten me please

Axia going to be exported to Indonesia

James Bum — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 21:19:31 +0800

P2 will be exporting Axia to Indon soon... will it remain as Axia or rebadge to Daihatsu Ayla? Plan to export up to 8,000 cars/mth

That means Axia total production would be around 16~18K per mth (Production for domestic around 8~10K per mth)

Exchange underwear

James Bum — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:50:08 +0800

You know those cheap underwear sold at Tesco, Giant or Mydin where in 1 box have lie 3 or 5?

Most of the time they come in mix colors with black, blue and some really gaudy colors like red, yellow, turquoise thrown in the bunch.

You all ever like away from the staff's prying eyes open up a few boxes take out only the colors you want (e.g. black) and put them in 1 box so when you buy it it'll be like 5 in 1 box of black undies?

Minimizing flood damage

James Bum — Fri, 26 Dec 2014 14:38:38 +0800

I'm creating this thread to discuss how we can minimize damage to our cars due to floods. As we all know the east coast now is having a severe flood problem and from what we can see in the news most cars are affected. Some of them the water reached till middle of the car's height, some up to the roof while some cars submerged completely.

Of course best is to move the car to high grounds ASAP to avoid any flood infiltration but what if unable to do so? And floods doesn't just affect east coast, it can happen almost anywhere - KL included. I remember the big flood here in Sri Muda Shah Alam about 20 years ago.

In a heavy flood it is almost impossible to prevent water from going into the cabin, but is it possible to keep the internals of the engine and gearbox from water?

Some of the ways I can think of to minimize damage to your vehicle includes:

1) Seal the exhaust opening, make it watertight by wrapping plastics around it
2) Seal the air intake by same method as above
3) Remove as much electrical component from inside cabin such as HU if you have one
4) Unplug the battery

Is it possible to wrap the starter too? Come share your ideas

Laoda strikes at Pattaya too

Pattaya Baht Bus Drivers caught-up in Chinese get-rich-quick scam

A group of 10 Baht Bus Drivers, who operate in the Huay Yai area, appear to have been caught-up in a Chinese get-rich-quick-scam, which has been operating around South-East Asia for some time and now appears to have arrived in Pattaya.

We met the drivers on Wednesday who were all displaying banners on the side of their vehicles in Chinese Language. The banners also feature the face of Mr. Zhang Jian, who is a 24 year old Chinese Businessmen, who has been recently operating in Malaysia where he is currently under investigation by authorities there.

The Baht Bus Drivers were told to hand over 5,000 Baht each to an agent and after one month they could receive 1,000 Baht per month for 8 months, netting them a profit of 3,000 Baht. In return they would display the banners on the side of their Baht Buses. Other drivers were known to have invested nothing but were promised 300 Baht per month after 1 month. In both case the payments have not been forthcoming.

The group were also told they would be entered into a Prize Draw for the chance to win 800,000 Baht or a BMW car.

The group has now contacted the Police who are investigating.

Is this a trend now?

James Bum — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 16:43:41 +0800

Seems like more and more affluent people are taking up not just the hobby of flying quadcopters but taking bird's eye view pics via a camera attached to them too.

Just saw one while jogging near my house's lake garden. Tempat anda bagaimana pula? Lots of these yuppies playing with them too? Or are you one of them?
