Do You Buy The Lottery?

Hmm. Car number plates seem to be the favourite when it comes to choosing numbers to buy for lotteries. When your number comes out and you didn’t buy it, you’ll be cursing like mad like this guy.

I’ve only bought the lottery once in my life. When this happened. All the aunties said the bees are lucky or something. So I bought all three vehicles in my house punya number plate. And bought them at all the different lotteries, including Toto, Magnum 4D and Damacai. Actually I don’t know where I bought lar, just gave the cash to my mum and asked her to buy.

2079, 6067 and 4446.

Nope, didn’t kena! Dang! :P

Perhaps I should ask Lilian for Damacai numbers.

Political Correctness Reaches New Ridiculous Heights

It’s time to re-write all those management books.

Brainstorming is a word used for meetings used to generate ideas, but we can’t call it brainstorming anymore, in Ireland at least.

The word ‘brainstorming’ has been banned by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) in Ireland for fear that it could be considered offensive to people with brain disorders as well as those with brain injuries or tumours.

ZOMGWTFBBQ!

We all know where all the people with brain disorders are now don’t we?

No?

Petrol Price Hike a Hoax, but Inevitable?

Went to survey the new petrol prices at Petronas ten minutes ago, at 12:40AM. Wanted to pump my car’s tank to a full tank with the new price as I was lazy to queue up with everyone else before midnight.

When I reached the Petronas near my place, I found that the prices was still the old prices. So I asked the petrol station attendants and they said that the price would only take effect at 7AM tomorrow. And they told me the hike is only 5 cents instead of the 20 cents which was rumoured.

When I got home, I discovered from SK that TV news reports had reported that it’s just a hoax. But I didn’t watch the TV reports myself so I can’t be 100% sure myself.

I’ll wait till tomorrow morning to confirm.

Anyway a petrol price hike is inevitable. Everyone better be prepared. Time to get a motorcycle!
