I had an interesting conversation with a friend about Lim Goh Tong's
granddaughters as reported in this news article. They had apparently
inherited RM900...

So today I went to DBKK, again.
8354. hopefully this number come out 4d!
Which means there are 189 person to be served before my turn.
Finally my turn did come up at 2.40pm. So I paid the dues and went off.
Eventually I come up with some interesting findings. It is based on my humble 2 days observation. However these findings is limited to DBKK licensing section only.
Time
1 counter can entertain 27 people in 187 minutes
So 1 person takes about 6.93 minutes or 7 minutes
* There are 7 counters on duty. They actually have 11 counters available.
Financial
Lets assume
- 400 people renewing license that day
- Each person represented 1 company
Therefore;
License renewal (RM25.00) + Processing fees (RM 5.00)
Total = RM30.00
RM30.00 x 400 person = RM12,000.00!
I myself renewed 3 licenses. So you guys work the figure out.
Think how much DBKK can make by issuing and renewing trading license throughout the year! There are still parking fees, property tax, license whatnot etc.
So that’s just about it.

I went to DBKK building to renew my companies’ trading licenses.
The building has gone through major renovation last year. It looks more spacious, comfortable and organized now. There were many counters too.
I guess when Kota Kinabalu is declared city in 2002, DBKK had also planned to improve the main landmark of the city, which is the city hall building.
Even the numbering machine was upgraded to touch screen.
How cool is that!
Being the first Monday in 2009, it was crammed with people. People with so many purpose that need to be done on this particular day.
From my observation, most of them came to renew trading license.I obtained my number from the numbering machine. Upon receiving the piece of paper, I blinked in disbelieve and was speechless.
8635!
It’s 3.59pm in the afternoon and there are still 278 people waiting to be served!
The funny thing was, it said;
‘SILA DUDUK. ANDA AKAN DILAYAN SEBENTAR LAGI’
Hello, Kerusi pun tiada suda macamama mau duduk. Sebentar pun tidak boleh ini terlampau ramai orang.
Instead of that, it should be like this
So I took off and went to office. Looks like I have to endure this whole thing again tomorrow morning.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Any business related with government / bank / or whatever thing that need to queue, it is better to do it early in the morning. The chances to finish dealing early is most likeable.

On December 15, I drove to Tanjung Aru after having a drink at Damai. At the Tanjung Aru traffic light, I saw a man leaning on one side, at the left side of a car, while waiting for the green light. The car was just beside to the other car in front of me.
There was no one in the car, and it is unusual to stand closely to a car unless something happened. It was 11.35pm and it was quite shadowy, there were a few cars in the other direction waiting for their turn.
I was eager to know what is happening to that man, or the car. I looked around wondering if there was an argument, mishap or something appalling was going on.
A few seconds later, he walked slowly to the drivers seat.
“ooo, kereta dia pulak”
As the light turned green, he and the car in front of me drove away.
I was just about to step on the gas pedal when I realized something absurd.
There was a puddle, right where the man left.

This is an excerpt from AP news
Rais Yatim praised "the shoe-throwing act by that remarkable reporter who gave President Bush his final farewell last week."
"That shoe-throwing episode, in my view, is truly the best weapon of mass destruction to the leader who coined the phrase 'axis of evil' to denote Iran, Iraq and North Korea," he said in a speech late Friday at a dinner to commemorate the 63rd anniversary of the United Nations.

After leading to an unpopular war with Iraq, US President Bush, in his last day as a premier, finally had ‘taste’ of the weapon he was long referring too.
WEAPON OF NOT-SO-MASS AND DESTRUCTIBLE!
That is something he’ll remember for the rest of his life.

Alas, the semester is finally over. After a demanding final paper, the tenseness, especially finance paper, is over. Next semester will be my final semester. Hopefully that I’ll finish on the dot.
So currently I’m thinking a topic for my thesis. With any luck in next few days I can think of something that is related to my work. *sigh*

If you feel like eating at a new place, try different menu etc, why not visit Asian Cuisine restaurant. It is located at Likas Plaza, opposite to Klinik Sihat, just at the corner.
It serves a variety of dishes, in my opinion, is quite decent.
I enjoyed having my dinner there. The food and drink is good, plus the price is reasonable. It is better than most of other Malay restaurant, which is usually overcharged and most importantly, TIDAK SEDAP.
Taking account of taste, location and service, I’ll rate this one 4 out of 5.

I was having a drink with my friends when I saw ‘something’ was wondering across the road. I took a glimpse, and quickly snapshot it. It quietly went away after been distracted by my camera flash.
Can you spot what is it? Well, that can only happen when you are in Sabah! *grin*

This is my Advanced Statistic assignment.
It is by far the thickest assignment I ever submitted. My undergraduate thesis, by comparison, was just a mere 61 pages.

I’ve been in hiatus for a few weeks. Too much thing was going on. I just can’t find time to update regularly. Plus my internet connection has been transferred to Tawau. So I was left helpless. Back to STONE AGE. I have to take extra effort to check emails and surf internet elsewhere.
