The One Piece

haha.. lazy blogger i am.. most of my 'free' time has been dedicated to see ball and see One Piece... apa itu One Piece? :Þ It's a Japanese Anime i bought... 200 episodes in my hand with the latest release being 270++... i am currently 'boiling' episode 115... very nice and funny Anime :)

If you visit the bookstore you might have seen the Malay Translated comic called Budak Getah...

Here is more info on it http://www.absoluteanime.com/one_piece/index.htm

Fame...fortune...power...
The one man who had it all in this world was the great Pirate King, Gold Roger...whose fateful last words drove men to the sea.
"My treasure? If you want it, I will give it. All the riches in the world await the person who can but find it."
And so, brave souls set sail for the Grand Line in search of their dreams. The Great Age of Pirates had begun.
It's a pirate adventure like no other you've over seen.
Now, Monkey D. Luffy has set out on his own grand adventure. His goal, to fulfil a promise he made to his idol, the pirate Shanks, to seek out the Grand Line and find the Pirate King's treasure: One Piece. He is both blessed and cursed by having eaten of the Gum Gum fruit, known throughout the seas as the "Devil's Fruit". Though now unable to swim, his body is now able to stretch like rubber. With his newfound powers and the crew of the Going Merry at his side (famed pirate hunter Zolo, crafty pirate thief Nami, compulsive liar Usopp, and suave but kicking cook Sanji), Monkey sets out to follow in the wakes of the great pirates and write his own name in the pages of history.

My favourite character would definately be Luffy :Þ The battles between 'Devil's Fruits' eater are very nice :)

What can RM3000 do in Malaysia

With the recent raise in Electricity and Petrol... Came accross this interesting Email Forward to share...

Let's to do some calculations here. In Malaysia the average family income is RM3000 (Father works, mother doesnt). I understand there are a lot of families whose income don't reach RM3000, but, to make things simple, lets take RM3000 as the figure. ok la right?
Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son.

Electricity and water bil RM100 (no aircond, no home theatre, no water heater k?)

Telekom and Handphone bil RM100 (cannot make a lot of calls one you know? (NO Streamyx also)

Meal for the whole happy family RM775 (3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4
persons????)

Papa makan/teh tarik during working hours RM155 (RM5/day, RM5 can eat what?)

Car repayment RM400 (a proton saga aeroback, 7 years repayment)

Petrol RM300 (Living in City, Jam) Go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running.

Insurance RM650, (kids, wife and myself).

House repayment RM750 (Low cost housing repayment for 30 years, retired still have to work to pay house!)

Tuition RM80 (got that cheap meh?? No, I don't think so)

Older children pocket money @ school RM20 (RM1/day, eat bread??)

School fees RM30 (enough ah??)

School books and etc etc. RM100 (always got extra to pay in school)

Younger children milk powder RM50 (cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)

Miscellaneous RM100 (shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper)

oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so... No Astro, no movie @ cinema, no DVD, no CD, no online, cannot KFC, cannot Mc Donald, cannot go Park walk during weekend(petrol expensive), no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EI.. Shit! RM3610 already..
EPF belum potong, income tax lagi,........oledi ---
RM610 Extra!... How to survive laa tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian??? Our Deputy Prime Minister ask us to change lifestyle? How to change?
Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?

Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of Rakyat Malaysia Which still don't earn RM3000/month!!! What is this?

Ini lah Malaysia Boleh..

Scary stories... Be afraid...

Is 5.00am now... and STILL waiting for my brother to return... so i browse the Forums and came by these interesting scary stories to share :)

Story 1:
Back when Vietnam was raging, Mr. and Mrs. Horren had their only son, Jimmy, taken away from them. He was drafted by the US army, and was all too proud to serve the country. His father, however, had served in the Army during WWII, and knew that war could be hell.Jimmy wrote his family once every two weeks for four months. Then, suddenly, the letters stopped coming. Two months went by, and not a single letter came. The Horrens were petrified, afraid something might have happened to their boy.Just when they were about to give up hope, a letter came to them, sent from somewhere in North Vietnam. It read as follows:Mom and Dad,It's Jimmy. I've been taken prisoner and am being held in a POW camp in Vietnam. They are treating me very well here, so please don't worry. I love all of you. Please make sure little Billy gets the stamp for his collection. I'll write again as soon as I can.Love, Jimmy"Billy? Who's Billy?" Mrs. Horren wondered."It's a clue," said Mr. Horren. "He wants you to take off the stamp."Mrs. Horren boiled a pot of water, and held the envelope over the steam. Slowly, the stamp peeled off. Mrs. Horren looked at the underside, and screamed. Written there, scrawled in red in Jimmy's handwriting, was.....They've cut off my legs

Story 2:
There once was a lonely man who lived in an apartment complex a couple floors up. One day, he looked at the apartment complex across from his. He saw a window covered by curtains. However, he could still make out an outline of a woman, who appeared to be dancing. Over the course of the following days, he would look longingly at the woman dancing, at what appeared to be day and night. He fell in love with her, and so, one day, he finally got up the courage and decided to visit her. He got dressed up, bought some flowers, and was ready to go. He went up to where her room was and knocked on the door. ...no reply. He knocked again. There was no answer. Starting to feel worried, he started to rush and slam into the door. Finally the door gave way and he was eternally mortified at what he saw. There was indeed a woman yes, but she was not dancing...She had hung herself, and her body was just swaying in the wind (coming from an open window), giving off the illusion of dancing.

Story 3:
There was a man, let's call him Gregory. Gregory was carrying a small box, and he went to another man's house (we'll call him Jebediah) and knocked on the door. When Jebediah answered, Gregory said "I have a proposition for you. Take this box. There is a button inside. If you press the button before I return, someone that you don't know will die. Tomorrow, I will return. If you have pressed the button, I will give you $20,000."Gregory left the box with Jebediah. Jebediah had to consider what he was going to do. Eventually he decided that he didn't care about the person, and he pressed the button.The next day, Gregory returned to take back the box. "Well then, I belive that this is yours," he said, giving $20,000 to Jebediah. "Thank you," Jebediah said. "By the way, I'm just curious: What are you going to do with the box now?"

"I'm going to give it to someone that doesn't know you."

(What goes around, comes around...)

Story 4:
There was this old man who was the world's greatest magician, his name was Ken. His greatest trick though involved two glass containers about the size of phone booths. A person would stand in each one, he'd peform his magic, then people would appear in the other container that they had not started in. He had done the trick once to himself and twice to female assistants.

Since he was getting old and ready to retire it was time for him to find a younger magician to replace him. Eventually he found a promising young man (Henry) and took him as his apprentice. Henry was not only a great magician but extremely ambitious to become the greatest magician of all time. Ken had been his biggest inspiration and it was his dream come true to be his apprentice.

Henry knew most of Ken's tricks except for the glass containers. Impatient and furious that Ken would not teach him immediately. He disobeyed Ken and snuck to the containers at night to figure it out himself. He got in one and closed the door, nothing happened at first but then he began to suffocate. Right when he thought he was done for, some one opened the door. It was Ken and he was angry, he scolded Henry and told him the trick required two people.

Eventually the time came for Ken's last show. He signed off his manor, cars, money and everything to Henry right before the show leaving him with nothing. The show would be the official coming of Henry to take his place. Henry still didn't know how the trick worked and was scared when Ken told him they were going to perform it as the last trick. Ken told him not to worry, he wouldn't suffocate and they he would learn how the magic worked as it happened.

The show goes on and it's time for the last trick. Ken and Henry get into the containers but not before waving to the audience. The magic happens and everything gets blurry for Henry. Suddenly he found himself at the opposite side of the room! The tricked worked automatically! He didn't need to do anything! Suddenly he noticed he felt different. To his horror he saw his body was old and he was wearing Ken's clothes. He looked to his left and saw his own body waving to the audience. The glass chambers left the soul in the container but switch the bodies!

The curtains fell and Ken in Henry's body walked to Henry grinning.

"Hold on to that came Henry, you'll need it for those back pains. As you've probably guessed the chamber switches the body, but not the soul! You see I'm actually a magician from Egypt thousands of years ago... Not wanting to grow old and die I created this device to transport myself into a younger man whenever my current body gets too old. I do it about once every 40 years under the guise of a retiring magician. Allow me to introduce you to my female assistant. I'm sorry, my wife... She does the transformation about once every 20 years."

Ken walked away laughing, Henry tried to follow but fell to the floor in pain.

Story 5:
So there's this couple who really love hiking and the boyfriend is like the leader of the hiking club in his school. So this one summer the whole club have a camping/hiking event in this remoted mountain area and the girlfriend of course go with the club, with her boyfriend leading the event and all.So they set camp at the bottom of the mountain and get ready to start hiking into the mountains, but the girlfriend twists her ankle and isn't fit for long hours of walking, so she stays at the camp and awaits.A few hours later the team comes back but short of one person - her boyfriend isn't with the team. The others are all sorry and scared and tell the girlfriend how their trail has been blocked by rocks and her boyfriend has tried to clear the path, being the leader of the team, when he's killed by a landslide. That night they sit around the campfire and make dinner but nobody is talking. The team creates an eerie silence, perhaps because everyone's too upset over what happened.

So here comes the scary part.... All of a sudden the boyfriend comes out of nowhere with blood all over him, and he dashes into the group and grabs the girlfriend and drags her away from teh camp, the girl is of course scared and screaming and kicking, and the others are running and shouting after him, trying to get the girl back.... but the boyfriend drags his girlfriend and just keeps running....

After a while the boyfriend finally stops, with the team nowhere in sight, and puts his girlfriend down. the girl is so scared, she doesn't know wut to do. The the boyfriend finally says..."There was a big landslide and I was badly hurt. Everyone else was killed."
