Dealing with RHB at their new office in Warisan Square can be quite confusing.
They have different departments, at a different floor, at a different entrance. These departments are not interconnected internally so you must know where are you heading.
Be careful in choosing your way as you may end up in a different place!

ATTITUDE
There is nothing whether good or bad, but your attitude makes it so.
TENACITY
Giving up is the ultimate tragedy.
TEAMWORK
Where there is unity there is always victory.
COURAGE
Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears.
LEADERSHIP
A leader is one who knows the way, goes to the way and shows the way.
INNOVATION
Success or failure is often determined on the drawing board.
OPTIMISM
The pessimists see the difficulty in every opportunity; the optimists see the opportunity in every difficulty.
MOTIVATION
Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
CONFIDENCE
It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.
WINNING
To be successful, you have to develop a hunger for it.
BELIEF
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in the rising every time we fail.
QUALITY
When a man is no longer anxious to do better than well, he is done for.

In the IT industry, we borrowed the English terms to define all the terminologies. So did paintball. But what happen if we revert back from the queen’s language to Bahasa Melayu?
Here are some words from the paintball lingo, translate directly into Bahasa Melayu.
Johor Pirates – Lanun-Lanun Johor
D’mercy Kids – Budak-Budak Belas Kasihan
Pada kejohanan Piala Dunia Asia 2008 yang lalu, pasukan Lanun-Lanun Johor telah berjaya menjadi juara divisyen 3, manakala pasukan Budak-Budak Belas Kasihan tempat ke 4.
Marker – Penanda
Planet Eclipse – Gerhana Planet
Star Frame - Rangka Bintang
Tank – tangki
Pimped – barua
Saya telah membeli sebuah penanda Etek2 Ego Gerhana Planet edisi terhad yang telah diubahsuai dengan Rangka Bintang. Selain itu saya juga diberi tangki barua 68CI/4500PSI.
Angel Fly – Bidadari /Malaikat Terbang
Akie juga telah membeli sebuah penanda Bidadari Terbang bersama tangki XSV, Ia benar-benar terbang apabila ia dihantar ke KL menggunakan DHL.
Smart Parts – Bahagian Segak/Cerdas/Pintar/Ada Kelas
Pasukan kami memiliki jersi Bahagian Cerdas berwarna merah, walaupun kami sebenarnya tidaklah begitu cergas. Tetapi JT sungguh cergas ketika latihan.
Invert – Songsang
Ball break – bola pecah
Pada pertandingan yang lalu, penanda Songsang Edward menghadapi masalah bola pecah. Mujurlah beliau tidak menganuti ajaran songsang.
Dye – Pencelup/Pewarna
Tadao board – papan siang (kadazan)
Low Pressure Regulator – Pengatur Tekanan Rendah
Ronny mempunyai Pewarna Matrix 8 berwarna olive. Ben pula menaiktaraf Pewarna Matrix 8 nya kepada papan siang dan Pengatur Tekanan Rendah yang baru. Pewarna itu bukanlah seperti pewarna pensil Staedler.
Barrel sock – Sarung laras
Feizal menggunakan sarung laras penanda mekanikal untuk penanda elektriknya. Daka boy pula menggunakan sarung kaki menggantikan sarung laras nya yang hilang.
Allen key – Kunci Allen
Kunci Allen tidak boleh menghidupkan kereta. Tapi kunci kereta Romie pasti boleh.
Dead men zone – Zon lelaki mati
Salmi boleh memasuki zon lelaki mati walaupun dia seorang wanita. Tetapi dia tidak perlu memasuki zon itu jika tidak terkena tembakan.
A Zurie and The 4 Horsemen – Sebuah Zurie dan Empat Penunggang Kuda
Paintball – bola cat
Pasukan Sebuah Zurie dan Empat Penunggang Kuda suka bermain bola cat. Hatta sebenarnya zurie tidak pandai menunggang kuda dan merupakan kapten pasukan bola cat itu..

Came out with these a few hours ago.
HUNT, OR BE HUNTED
This maybe long overdue, but winning is always sweet, regardless of time.
Congratulation to team Riverside of Labuan for their second title of the year, after winning Labuan Open Rookie category recently.
Well done to Trinity also, for retaining their Open Category title second year in a row. They are always the team to beat, alongside Hoodlum, as far as Sabah paintball is concerned.
Full results here
I watched the All England's men single final between Lee Chong Wei [ Malaysia] and Lin Dan [China]. It was and evenly contested match, but yet, Chong Wei failed to overcome Lin Dan prowess.
I was so disappointed. Oh well, Chong Wei did gave a strong fight compared when they met last year. As far as i can remember, Hafiz Hashim did won the tournament for Malaysia years ago.
Wet should do something to enhance the badminton standard in Malaysia. Currently sitting as the number 1 player in the world, I don't see any other countrymen can overcome, or even match Chong Wei right now.
All England is hailed as one of the major tournament, as far as badminton concerned. Unless something is done, Malaysian may never bring back the cup for years to come.

This was my fourth consecutive year joining the annual treasure hunt organized by DBKK. There were 120 teams competing this year for the ultimate Kota Kinabalu hunt.
After a tiring Labuan Open last week, this is the day that I have been waiting! Yes, its one of my New Years resolution to participate in the DBKK treasure hunt. Hooray!
KK Mayor flagged of the participant.
We started the hunt at 7.50 am and finished at 2.11 pm. We clocked 6 hours and 21 minutes this time around. The time limit was 6 and half hours, a reduction of 30 minutes from last year.
While waiting for the Q&A session and price giving ceremony, we were entertained by the hilarious MC and Stacy Af6. Huiyoo Stacy pun ada ikut oo
Every team seems to be winning something in the lucky draw. We were so unlucky not to get any of those prizes. I almost thought we would leave empty handed, and almost left the hall when the MC called out our name.
18th place!
No complain for that. We did our best but a blunder on the timing cost us 5 valuable points at Terminal 2. Not to mention the Cap Badak treasure, and the other silly mistakes. All in all, it was a great hunt for our team.

Team 1, Hunters "R" Us from KL bagged home the 1st prize worth RM5,000.00 plus goods. Behind them was Team 2, led by CK KOH with 8 points different.
Makes me wonder where did they drop points. Mind you that the full points are 140!
I think the top teams answered all the questions and treasure correctly. Which sets them apart from the other teams. Whereas challenge was, at least, a 50-50 thing. Take example the ‘every little drop counts’ challenge. Most team got an average of 4-6 points out of 10.
Now I’m looking forward for the next treasure hunt!
p/s - many thanks to feizal for the walkie talkie and team chase angels for the encouragement
Here's the result from the 1st stage of the tournament.

One word to sum up our team performance in the tournament; UNFORTUNATE.
My games were marred by my marker poor performance, only to find out later that the trigger screw was loose, affecting the trigger effectiveness. It’s frustrating to know how that actually can change the outcome of the matches I played.
Out of 12 matches, we fought against the eventual 3 teams that top the open and amateur category respectively. Nevertheless we did accomplish our target, winning 10% of our total matches. That is 3 out of 12, which achieve the target but still a far cry from our actual capability.
It was an enjoyable experience though. We had had our time. But up till today I still feel lost, knowing we could do much better. Alas, we can never be please at everything.
Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. ~Henry Ford

In 3 hours I’ll be going to Labuan. Packed my stuff hastily, cleaned my room, updated all my fb games *hahaha*. Hope I wont miss a thing. Otherwise I’ll go nuts. It’s been ages since I last went to the island.
Actually I’m not in a good condition to go. I’ve been struck by fever since Tuesday, it’s really killing me. My marker needs some tweak in the trigger (I haven’t done it yet). I got group presentation that carries 10 marks in the evening (not presenting = 0). A meeting on Saturday morning (why they appointed me to write the minutes in the first place). And oh, I left all the office work unfinished. Yahuu!!! it’s dreadful. What a suitable time of the year.
I haven’t sleep yet. Surely I’ll sleep serenely in the ferry. It’s going to be a rough weekend. I hope my teammates can perform, it not going to be straightforward. Hope I chose the right path to go to Labuan Open. Hell, nothing is easy. God made choices so choices can make human go paning.

I came across a website that estimates a blog value after reading ‘coretan seorang bloggers di Tawau’.
Curiously, I run a check on several of my favourite visited blog.
RPK Malaysia todays' blog
Kenny Sias' blog
and of course, the most famous blog in the country, Tun Mahathirs' blog
Wonder why it got errored?
And even Boondocks Barrack
Sorry guys, maybe u can fare better next time
Then, I nearly popped my eyes when I saw how much my blog is worth!
Wahhh
Its equivalent to a whopping RM 19,072,425.54 (USD1.00 = RM3.61)
Considering those 3 blogs and mine, it is just laughable.
