“How Should My Blog Look Like?”

Small Talk : Hurm .. Seems like this Xiaxue Vs Dawn Yang battle is getting very very interesting. It is a good thing that I woke up early in the morning, turn on my lappie and then get connected to the internet,being served with lotsa hot and spicy gossips - I’m talking about the battle of the wits la.

I am currenty having quite a time in thinking about what else can I do to enhance the look of my blog. I need to pimp it really bad I guess. Personally I kinda like the whole jeans theme, I am quite happy with it at the moment. Not that I am all stressed up about the whole thing.

I personally prefer the two columns type because I can put up more pictures eventhough I do think that sometimes the pictures are just way too big and with that ugly cibolution.com watermark, it can’t get any better than that.

Okay, maybe I am a little bit too free on a Saturday morning being not knowing what to do. Basically sick and tired of watching damn boring MTV and AFC. Maybe I just had too much of it. It is getting me back into the starving and craving for some munch mode.

Trying to add that top commentator widget on my blog. Hopefully I can get that sorted out in no time later. S, I would like to thank noktah hitam for all the info. Caya lah bro!

At the moment I have only three useful plugins installed and another few 4 or 5 useless ones which I don’t really know why I put that inside my blog in the first place. That SEO packs seems super cool in a way but I personally do not know whether I really need that or not because most of the time what I did with this blog is just post and post and more post, that’s all.

So please God help me so that I will see the light to enlighten me to go through all this.

“Marina Bay Seafood Restaurant”

Getting pretty much excited. Another 5 more days will be attending the Rainforest World Music Festival.

P/s : NH, King of Emo pun Emo la. :lol:

When Lily told me about her new favourite hang out spot, I was a little skeptical. In my mind was like, “Yeah, there was a big hoo-haa about The Spring”, but for me it is just a normal Sarawak very own concept of shopping complex and nothing more than that. Not that I doubt it but I was not over excited about it.

The moment I step into the place, walaaaa …

This is like heaven. God, this is crazily awesome! No wonder Lily like this place so much and I find myself falling in love with the place. What I find unique about the place is that the whole restaurant is made of solid wood and apart from that a lot of magnificent carvings all over the place. The restaurant itself is a marvellous work of art I must say.

Front view of the restaurant

The entrance of the building isvery nicely done.

take a look at these nice carvings on the wall

More work of art

The interior was not bad too. It’s a blend of east meets west. Very Carribean type and also very Asian at the same time. I just love it.

Lovely indeed

The first floor was equally stunning as the main hall. It’s like a big mansion

More view of the first floor

Enjoying the art

Enjoying the nice view

After your meal, you might want to take a stroll along the seafront or along the wooden walkway overlooking picturesque Marina Bay.

The thing that I find unique is the street lights, well .. not really street lights as in the high up above type of street lights but these little cuties.

……..
……..
……..

And of course, Miri very own mascot - The seawhores horse.

Whether you are coming for lunch, dinner or other special occasions, you are sure to be captivated by the charm and beauty of Marina Bay Seafood Restaurant.

“From Miri With Love”

Over the weekend I was in Miri for a short trip.

Once in a while going out of the metropolitan feels good. Well it does felt good to be home in a way. Just for your information, Miri is the second largest city in Sarawak (We only have two cities anyway). The journey to Miri from KL will be about 2 hours or so. So, it was not really a long journey anyway.

I know this the must thing people do when they go travelling on plane, taking pics when the plane take off and after the thing landed - and most Sarawakian bloggers does that. So sakai hor? But who the hell care :

The shore of Miri

More of it

You know you’re almost there when you see lotsa river

And more river

And suddenly ..

Eh .. Sampai already kah?

“Banks to be blamed for ATM robberies”

Posted by: cibol

2008

Small talk : Just landed in KL from Miri a few hours ago. I will miss that place dearly. Will be updating my blog with the trip.

Banks and financial institutions are primarily responsible for the robberies that occur at their outlets, says Federal CID director Commissioner Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin.

He said the recent spate of robberies of and from the automatic teller machines (ATM) was due to their negligence.

“We have found that most banks and financial institutions do not upgrade or maintain their security systems like they are supposed to.

“Our findings also show that some robberies involved staff and security personnel that the banks failed to monitor properly,”

Source : The Star

When I first read of this piece of news, the first thing that came to my mind was yes, it’s the aged old classic finger pointing again. It’s just like rape cases on high due to sexiness and perhaps applying lipsticks and wearing high heels, whichever you like in the first place.

Some of the remarks like “alert us immidiately on the incident so that we can deploy a patrol car” seems to be a lil bit off for me. If you are refferring to the case above who would be at any bank at 530 AM in KL?

If you’re talking about alarm and all, any noise would easily trigger the banks alarm already and to take out an ATM machine from the bank’swall would take at least 15 minutes. So, I’m curious whether this fella ever seen an ATM before? Do you know how big is an ATM? It is not just a piece meta stuck to the wall as it seems you know. It’s huge and heavy and even with a backhoe it will take time to be taken away.

Talk about security, alarm should have been triggered by then and at any ATM there will be an alarm device or whatever you call it - attached to any external unit of ATM. If anything happen, it should have alerted the security center and given the fact that ATMs are not that easy to be removed, there should be enough time for the patrol to be there on time and all these talks about tight security, CCTV and whatever shit really confused me.

Talk is cheap, next time. Think before you talk, do your homework before you make any remarks. I pity you for what you’ve said Commissioner. You’re just as dumb as I think you are.

“Turban Legends”

Small Talk : I know, again I change my theme. I can’t help it

The turban (from Persian دلبند or دولبند, dulband via the Turkish tülbent) is a headdress consisting of a long scarf-like single piece of cloth wound round the head or an inner hat.

In a short, it’s a piece of clothe wrapped up around your head.

The men of many Islamic cultures have worn or wear a headdress of some sort that may be considered a turban. Islam however does not require any sort of head wrap or headdress except for a woman’s headscarf. Head wraps that men wear are called several names and worn in different ways dependent on region and culture. Examples include Umamah (Arabic: عمامة) in Arabic, and dastār (Persian: دستار) in Persian.

And now

Helmet is a type of protective headgear used by motorcycle riders. The primary goal of a motorcycle helmet is motorcycle safety - to protect the rider’s head during impact, thus preventing or reducing head injury or saving the rider’s life. Some helmets provide additional conveniences, such as ventilation, face shields, ear protection, intercom etc.

A question has arisen in the small town of Kota Bharu whether it is an offence to wear the “serban” instead of helmets according to The Star and I find that it is rather amusing how people would think twice whether it is good or not to wear “serban” on the road. I am truly impressed by the shallowness and the short mindedness of these people who think it is ok to do so.

And the way that the State police chief Senior Asst Commissioner is dealing with it is for me far from pleasing because this is just some things that you actually do not have to take a lot of time to think whether it is right or wrong or the ban should be imposed or not. I do not think that you need to interprate the fucking traffic ordinance or whatsoever and to have it studied from A-Z whether it is right or not you fucking dickhead.

Personally for me there should not be a question whether to wear or not to wear because it is all about safety. If you think that your “serban” can save you from cracking your skull, go ahead!

I’m so wronged, fucked up and overrated …

I had quite a rough day at work; workloads now piling because when my colleague was on leave everything was handed to me and you and I know how fucked up life can be when you got a whole-fuckin-lotta work to do and it really doesn’t help when you have a dickhead that knows nothing in your office and yet he sit in a big air conditioned room minding only his own fuckin business. How I wish he fuckin bloats full of worms and infectious maggots feasting on his fucking rotten and swelling intestines! Oh, God I don’t need all these! To hell with it!

Insane am I the only motherfucker with the brain?

Trying to get everything done so that I can go on leave as a happy person - stress free!

In the meantime, I’m indulging myself with new release from Sevendust - The Past. Now you guys might not have heard of Sevendust before but I’m here to tell you that this band rocks like hell! Now this number is for all of you, The Past - Sevendust Feat Chris Daughtry. Enjoy and I’ll be seeing you guys in Miri.

“Are You Out of Your Fucking Mind?”

I might not be the best person to talk about this matter. But since everyone has been talking about the issue, I decided to pen down my thought in this post. No, I would not like to call it an article of my own as most of the things that I know came from the sources that you might have came across in plight of searching for an answer to the question of why is this ridiculous sudden hike of petrol price.

Nothing last forever … And the matters at hand are shelled out like lint at a Laundromat to sift and focus on the bigger, better, NOW : Where have all the huge amounts of Petronas money gone to? There are rumors out there saying that the nation’s biggest oil digging company will go down to the fucking ground by the year 2018 AD! Sanctimonious pretentious dastardly bastards with their thumb on the pulse and a finger on the trigger

CLASSIFIED MY ASS THAT’S A FUCKING SECRET AND YOU FUCKING KNOW IT!

Government is another way to say better, than, you!

What’s the secret all about? Translucent flesh and feeble bones? The kind of temple where the whores and villians try to tempt the holistic tones, but they just can’t.

Running rampant with free thoughts to free form the free and clear The Petronas agreements have been classified secret. Why? What clauses are in the agreement that the people should not know? This secrecy also includes the secrecy of Petronas’ detailed annual report which is shielded from public scrutiny, making it an organization without public accountability. Now, do you think you serve a purpose or purposely serve?

We all have heard rumors that the oil produced by Petronas is not sold directly to the world market but is channeled through a few Beavis and Butthead who reap the benefit of the supply from our pulsating nation far below market prices. Keep your fingers crossed because the truth is all lost. There’s BUT in it but a total wreck! Try refuse, try resist.

Who the fuck are these bastards?

Why are they there in the first place?

Your whole system sucks ..

We have been spending time looking through the glass, seeing everything is just so transparent. Don’t know how much time has passed. It feels like forever but no one ever tells us that forever feels like home sitting all alone inside your head. All this is making things a bit insane.

Well, maybe what I have written down here is not really about the hike but maybe more on letting off angst out of this little piece of mind ..

P/S: Thanks to Max Cavalera and Corey Taylor for al the vocabs. You guys rocks!

“Nani Quits Old Trafford”

Posted by: cibol

Apparently, after a disappointing first season with United and Portugal being knocked out by the mighty Germans in the second round of European Championship, Nani calls it a quit to his footballing career by quitting current club Manchester United. He decided to land a job which is not related to football at all.

Maybe he thought that a more finger licking good career is a wiser decision.

Wish you all the best in life Nani.
