August

It's a new month now. And I've decided to post something here at least once a week. Perhaps something fun, or maybe more technological stuff. Who knows? Oh well...

Here's a picture of what happened yesterday. CCM's first Timeout. Where students from CCM come together for lunch with free drinks and snacks. :D

2.45am

It's been so long since I last wrote something here. So forgive me for not structuring anything. I'm just typing whatever I think. :P

Changed my blog layout back to the original one. Now it feels much better and familiar.

I've been studying/getting distracted by stuff the whole of last week. And so today I took a day off. Haha.

I was actually reading my old posts and realized how immature I was last time. Haha, all the flash rages and stupid opinions. Oh well. Thank God I know Him now and am able to view things differently. :)

Sarcasm In Kuantan

If you drive around Kuantan, I'm sure you will see these signs. They are sarcastic, funny and also conveys the message in a very unique way. I hope KL will have these too.

TAK RASA BERSALAH KE...? POTONG Q
Don't you feel guilty for cutting the queue?

SIMPANLAH SAMPAH DI DALAM KENDERAAN ANDA SEMASA DALAM PERJALANAN
Please keep your rubbish in your vehicle while driving

KALAU PERLAHAN TOLONGLAH KE KIRI
Please go to the left if you are driving slow

TAK RASA BERSALAH KE...? BUANG SAMPAH DARI KENDERAAN ANDA?
Don't you feel guilty for throwing rubbish from your vehicle?

Also, they have this funny U-turn sign which allows only cars and motorcycles to make the U-turn. Never seen this anywhere else but here.

U-turn for Motorcycle and Cars only

Amazing right? :)

Business Strategy I've Learned From A Shop in Ipoh

Some of you might know where the famous Hor Hee shop is now, some might not. This restaurant used to be in a corner lot and business was doing well. Then the owner of the lot raised the rent to take advantage of them.

The Old Place

So, the restaurant owners came up with this genius strategy. They rented another shop nearby and set up their shop there. To help their clueless customers, they placed one sign outside their old shop.

Take note of the red sign on the pillar

Not only that, they also parked a van close to the old shop, and stuck a huge sign saying "Hor Hee ->" which points to their shop.

The van

This is the shop's current location.

I was amazed when I heard this story. I gotta admit, Ipoh people are pretty creative!

Too many people (ehem, you know who you are) have ended up in KK from missing the turning into Ipoh. They have taken some preventive measures. Let me show you how HARD it is to miss the entrance.
