Strange Thing Happen To My House Hio Low

Strange thing happen to my house “Hio Low”. Please read on!




I want to tell you all about one strange, funny and cute thing happen to my house “Hio Low”. You know what, yesterday night when I wanted to burn joss stick to pray my Kuan Yin, suddenly I noticed that my “Hio Low” is growing plants! Look carefully at the above pictures. I counted the plants and total are 9 plants grown.

The plants are actually comes from the “4-type-beans” that put inside the “Hio Low” and cover up by the joss stick ashes. The strange is that how can the plants grow in the “Hio Low” where no water, no soils and the environment in “Hio Low” is hot! It is ridiculous!

I did not know what to do with the plants and what is the meaning of the plants that Kuan Yin address to both of us (my wife and I)? The next day which is today, I called up one of the Sifu that I know well. I consult his advice and opinion regarding the plants. Well, he is asking us to bring my “Hio Low” to his temple and he will do a little prayer and steps on how to settle this matter.

When we both reached his temple, we hand over our “Hio Low” to Sifu and he smile at us and said this is a very cute and funny thing happens. And it is the first time he sees plants grow in the “Hio Low”! Later, Sifu starts his prayers. He is asking my wife whether we want to grow the plants or not. My wife said “Yes, of course as these plants are so special to both of us”. Then Sifu separated out the plants to flower pot and give it to my wife. He then continues with his prayers and steps. He then put in the new “4-type-beans” and replaces the joss stick ashes for us. We drive back home our “Hio Low” with 3-burnt joss sticks until we reach our house. We did a few steps that teach by Sifu that we must follow before and after entering to our house until we placing back the “Hio Low” at the alter.

According to Sifu, we should feel happy as this is a good sign and nothing to worry about. He also jokes with us that we must call the media to come and snap photos and published the story out in the newspaper…hahahaha!


Well, a few more photos to share with you all...

Come! Take A Look At My Stunt Kite

Recently, I’m busy with my new hobby; it is called “Stunt Kite”. Anyone of you ever heard about it? Well, Stunt kites also known as sport or acrobatic kites, offer the pilot ability to steer the kite and perform tricks. Two lines (at a fixed length ~ 100m) control the kite, similar to steering a bicycle. The two flying lines are connected to handles or straps on one end and connected to the bridle of the kite on the opposite end of the line. You can control the kite by pulling in one line to make it turn in the direction you want, if you pull the right hand line the kite will turn to the right and vice versa. These kites are easy to learn but need a lot of practice in order to master the tricks performances.

There are a lot of companies that selling the stunt kite abroad. And they came with many, many types of design and pattern. About 6 years back, I did purchase one unit with about 5.5ft height of kite via EBay but that unit’s quality is not really good and it needs a very, very strong wind to fly it. End up I hardly can play it at Penang. I need a strong wind; says about 25mph only can fly the kite up.

Here I wanted to show you my newly bought 8.5ft height (95 inches tall) stunt kite.

I bought it from one of the retailer here in Penang, Mr. Azemi. He is the master of stunt kite and have been representing Malaysia for the stunt kite competition many, many times already. I’m so lucky that able to teach and coach by Mr. Azemi and Mr. Azahar (who is the Malaysia Kite president).

This kite is no jokes, folk! It can pull me forward when I fly it and so I have to fight with the strong wind until my body is about 45 or 30 degree backwards (slantingly). And the kite makes a very fantastic noisy sound (like a jet plane) when it blows by the wind. That noisy sound is the one that really attracts people. It is so fun! Those with skinny body are not advice to play this kite.

I bought the above stunt kite with RM 600 and it is considered a very good deal already. Some with the very professional kites are selling with price about RM 1000++. But, there are many ranges of kites and quality that available which will cost from RM 250 to RM2000. It is very much depending on individual budget and needs…


Here I wanted to show you the movie that capture by my wife while I’m playing tricks with my friends at Padang Kota Lama (Esplanade). We clip on some tiny lights so that the kite looks more elegance in the dark sky and you can hear the noise makes by the kite too. Enjoy it!

Message for you Borneo Falcon, I think my wife (amycheah) did comment on your blog related the Padang Kota Lama saying that many people are playing kites at night at there. Anyhow, stunt kite cannot play throughout the year in Padang Kota Lama. It usually can only be played during December and January due to the strong wind strike. But other type of kites; yes can be play throughout the year there.

Today when I go to work, my colleagues ask me how come I still coming to work. I thought you were in the Vietnam jail?

After I read only understand because of there are one guy with the same name as mine get caught due to using fake Credit Card. Luckily the newspaper did mention his age (younger than me) otherwise “I jump into China Yellow River also cannot get clean”. Hahaha

Two M’sians jailed in Vietnam for using fake credit cards

HANOI: A Hanoi court sentenced two Malaysians Tan Wei Hong, 26, and Cham Tack Choi, 23, to seven years in prison on charges of using fake credit cards.

The two Malaysians were arrested on December 21, 2007 when they went on a shopping spree at the Louis Vuitton fashion shop in Ngo Quyen street, Hoan Kiem district in Hanoi, buying expensive suitcases and bags costing almost US6,000 dollars.

While Choi was paying the cashier with three international credit cards bearing his name, a staff member recognised him as he had previously used contraband credit cards to pay for goods in the same shop and reported him to the police.

Hong later admitted to the police that he had visited Vietnam on three occasions and had used fake credit cards to pay for VND293mi (US17,000 dollars) worth of goods.

Meanwhile Choi had made two visits to Vietnam for the same purpose and had used fake cards to rack up more than VND 275mil (US16,200 dollars) in goods. - Bernama

My New High Tech PC#3

I’d like to continue my previous post here. I talked about I’m using Kingston HyperX memory, Cooler Master Heatsink and 2 SATA Hardisk. Here you go...



Why I choose to use HyperX memory instead of using normal DDR 2? That's because HyperX DDR2 modules are specifically engineered and designed to meet the rigorous requirements of PC enthusiasts. Meaning HyperX memory is designed based on the latest memory specifications to deliver ultra performance for PC gaming. HyperX DDR2 offers faster speeds, lower latencies, higher data bandwidths and lower power consumption than DDR. The best of Kingston's company is they offer all their memory products with life time warranty.
Below are the details:
KHX6400D2K2/4G = 4GB kit DDR2 800MHz Non-ECC CL5(kit of 2 - 2GB)
Timing = 5-5-5-15
Voltage = 1.8V




For microprocessor heat sink, I'm using Cooler Master Brand. Anyway, some user they prefer using Liquid coolant technology. Coolant technology is good but it is troublesome as need to maintain the coolant that's why I'm not using it.


For Hard disk, I prefer using WD brand because of their stabilities and quality. I have 2 units of hard disks in one casing, there are:
1 HD = 500G (I used for WinXP)
1 HD = 750G (I used for Win Vista)


Well, you might want to know what about my graphic card then? I'm using 7600GT. I still haven’t thinking of changing it for the time being as with my QX9650 processor and 4G memory is enough for me to play RA3 without any lagging issue.


I would like to show you the overview of my PC.

My New High Tech PC Part#2

Let me talk about my Power Supply and CPU (Microprocessor). Both items are the core devices in computer.

Power Supply (PS) - I use Cooler Master eXtreme Power 650W SLI Ready (below diagram). This type of PS provide about 650W with MTBF ~100k hours. Meaning it has about 11.4 year of life spend. It cost me about RM 280.


Cooler Master eXtreme Power 650W SLI Ready



Below diagrams are the connectors for the Power Supply.

20+4 pin x 1 Motherboard Connector.

4 pin x 1 CPU +12V Connector.

6 pin x 1 PCI-e Connectors.

S-ATA x 3 S-ATA Connectors (New PS socket for Hard disk or DVD).

4 pin x 6 Peripheral Connectors (Usually use for old IDE Hard disk or DVD).

4 pin x 2 Floppy Connectors

Now let's talk about Microprocessor. This is Intel latest microprocessor with great Quad core performance (Intel® Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor). With this microprocessor, it can launch 4 jobs at the same time without degrade your work. For those who like to perform video conversion or high graphic works, I highly recommend you to purchase it. EBAY sell this microprocessor at USD1099 (RM3956) and Lelong sell at RM3700. You may visit Intel website for more information.

With this four processing cores (Intel Core 2 Extreme processor) delivers unrivaled¹ performance for the latest, greatest generation of multi-threaded games and multimedia applications. Now with a new version based on Intel's cutting edge 45nm technology utilizing hafnium-infused circuitry to deliver even greater performance and power efficiency.

The Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor QX9650 running at 3.0 GHz delivers the best possible experience for today's most demanding users.

My New High Tech PC Part#1

Today I was decided to upgrade my computer from Pentium 4 Hyper Trading 3GHz to Intel Quad Core QX9650 3GHz. Why I want to upgrade? Because of new Technology which saving my house energy and give me faster speed when launch the operation/application software (OS/AS). OS means your Windows XP, Vista, Linux, Sun and etc. AS means your Microsoft Office (Excel, Power point, Words and etc.), Gaming software, AutoCAD, Antivirus and etc.

Usually one PC consists of Motherboard, Memory, Microprocessor, Graphic Card, Hard Disk, DVD RW, Power Supply, Casing, LCD, Speaker, Keyboard and Mouse. The most important are Motherboard, Microprocessor, Memory and Graphic Card. But there are one important device which everyone seems to ignore it is Power Supply. No matter how advance devices install into your PC but without a stable Power Supply your computer will keep rebooting or hang.

Today part #1 I want to show you my latest motherboard. The reason I choose this Gigabyte MB is because I trusted to this company MB and so far I have been using this brand MB for up to 3 generations already and is without any single problem occur. This MB cost me RM490.


This MB comes with 2 oz copper layer. What is this mean? Every circuit board has its own design and comes with multi layer. You may think that the MB itself just in 1 big piece of board but actually inside the board has many layers and each layer has its own copper traces. These copper traces are actually carries electron or signal to your devices. Just imaging the traces is like the road when you are driving in either a freeway or a small road...which one you prefer to drive in? Sure we choose to be drive in the freeway...wide, smooth and faster lane! This is some theory on MB copper traces. But for those who know technology, more copper meaning more resistance. Surprisingly, Gigabyte can solve this issue in this board.

Here is the information about energy saving. After I install and launch the software, every second it shows how much I have save the energy. But I not really can I trust the technology. :P

This is the new motherboard that I just purchased. As you can see the Southbridge chipset cover up with the new technology heat sink. This will gave the Southbridge chipset more stable in proceeding its job.

Look at my old motherboard. What do you think? Hehe

Doremon Celebration X'mas 2008

Last weekend, my wife and I went to Queensbay Mall for shopping. When we step into the mall, we saw a giant Doraemon in the stage. Wow! Really a good view and a many people took picture with the Doraemon. As you can see the whole environment is full with Christmas decoration, there are many fake snows and Christmas tree. Isn’t it beautiful?

Final Year Project In Secondary School

Do you ever think to own your personalized shirts? During my final year in secondary school, the last Art project is to make our own custom t-shirt. Our teacher requested all the students divided into few groups. After that we have to come out our own groups design and the design will be “buy-off” by our teacher. Once approved, we are ready to do the t-shirt printing. The whole process of t-shirt printing is complicated and hard to perform because all of us have no experience on it and furthermore the process is done manually. Anyway, we all still enjoy doing that printing process and it is really fun.

First, our approved design will be printed onto a frame with negative that we build ourselves. This is a very hard process because we have to be very careful when the negative expose to sunlight as the images will be captured on to our shirt. If it is not nice, then we have to re-do everything again. At last we have successfully come out the dragon design and printed with multi color onto our t-shirts. Why we choose the dragon design? This is because our group is all male youngsters and we are as powerful as a dragon.

Nowadays we have an advance technology in doing t-shirt printing. We even can do the printing at our house by just print out the desired design by our printer and paste it to our shirt by ironing. I surf via internet and found one of the website that has a good deal. They have cheap custom t-shirt printing and you can actually upload your photo to customize it. Just imaging you customize your family t-shirt? How sweet to have a happy family t-shirt of yours...hah!

New Games

Red Alert 3 is the world most famous strategy games. I really love this game and it is just launch last month. I bought the original copied of RA1 to RA2 and sometimes I play online too with the world gamer.

In my opinion, strategy game is not only strategy game as it is! But, it teaches us on how to manage our crew, how to conquer or develop our own safe landscape whereby I resemble these techniques in my career, like how to plan my work project, strategy on presentation steps and competency to present my project to my boss. See, that is the benefits gain from playing games.
