没有大舅的日子:第627天

Technology Dysfunction...

This title sounds so scholar-ish.
That's something that happened today.

Dr. Teh and Chen Choi Sim who are in Taiwan, tried to call back to Grandmother's house and her handphone. However due to some technical error, she couldn't read them.
The same happened in my house too. As my mother informed me about Chen Choi Sim couldn't reach them and so does she, I tried to call back and couldn't get through. Grandmother's handphone rang but after a moment, there was this interruption voice occurred. Her house phone rang but no one answered.
I called my aunt in Taiwan telling her the house phone is not functioning well. I told her that I called home every night to check on them.
About 10 minutes later, my mother called and informed me that the phone lined is ok now. There, I texted my aunt to call back and talked to them.

What I learned from the whole incident is that Malaysia's technology is far behind from a developed country.

没有大舅的日子:第605天

Silly Act...

Yesterday was a long and tiring day... Celist and I, along with Kevin and Wai Ping went to a restaurant near INTI to shoot our comedy video.

Poor Celist. She had been working for 7 hours non-stop!
Wai Ping... He looked funny in the so-called waiter suit!
Kevin. I send my gratitude towards him as he willing to step up in last minutes of the shooting. Previously, it was Anuar that Celist and I considered. However, he pulled out last minute.

The storyline is simple. A couple dine in a restaurant. The boyfriend told the girlfriend that she can 'order anything she want'. She did. When it's time to pay the bill, he was shocked to see that the bill amounted to RM 741.20! That moment, the boyfriend is struggling whether to put down his card or not. If he refused to pay, he will look bad in front of his girlfriend. If he pays, he loss an amount of money. This story reflects Malaysian who is stingy and 'kiasu'...

Wai Ping and Kevin does make a good comedian...
