When we were still a small kid, every time a cowboy’s movies are played on the black and white television, we will stay glued onto it no matter what time the shows start or end.

Watching the cowboys riding their horse and fighting with Red Indians gave us the idea of playing cowboys and Red Indians game. Most of the time, the cowboys will be the good people and the Red Indians are the bad people. Although we don’t have horse, we have to pretend as if we are riding on a horse when chasing or running away. And we also bully the small kids to be the cows. Hey… it won’t be cool when cowboys don’t have cows and Red Indian. When I think about it back, it is really funny… but boys will be boys. Boys want to be the hero with his horse… all the time 😀

After we grow up, of course we don’t play that game any more. Now we watched other stuff like rodeo which is cowboys’ sports. And to those who are cowboys’ fanatic, I’m sure they are more than willing to go and watch the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo or NFR which is organized by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. If YOU really interested to watch the 2008 NFR, you still have a good chance to get the WNFR Tickets. If your dreams is to be a cowboy when you were still a kid, this is your chance.

Today went to Kepayan to fix some network stuff at one of the site office. Their network is so bloody slow, but after fixing some stuff, there is no much different. Did the work until 1pm… Then we went for lunch near the KKIA. While fixing the network, saw this antique radio 😀

Tomorrow I’m going to Kota Belud site office to fix another network with my colleague. I will drive myself… lucky I’ve serviced my car last week 😀

And I will be taking with me my new ‘big gun’… the Canon EOS 40D. This gonna be my first outing with my big gun… I hope I can get some good photos. OK, here is my big gun…

emm… I did not even know I got tag… no message no nothing. I noticed it when I check my incoming links. Ethelwenn tags me with her smiiiiile post about smiling photo or something like that. I will not tag anyone, but if you are reading this, then you’re tagged… don’t cheat OK.

So, I ransacked my hard disk to search for my smiling photos… but can’t find any because all my photos are with serious face 😆 I will try to smile the next time I take photos 😆

Anyway, I did find my grandma’s photo taken when she was taking care her dried fish at Alaska ‘tamu’ 😆

I changed my mind… I want to tag maslight, vortrack, kupi, gombui and sindut… and also YOU 😀

This morning, I stop by at the Penampang Post Office to renew my driving license. Renewing driving license at Post Office is not the same as renewing it at JPJ or Transport Department. Post office is only able to provide the supplementary card which will become your driving license. They cannot replace your main driving license card which has your picture on it. The supplementary card must be presented together with the main card. And it will cost extra $2… commission for the Post Office for doing the JPJ job. One year fee is $30.00

Today I will be driving with an expired driving license. It expired on the 13th March. The first thing I’m going to do this morning is… of course sleep 😀 Secondly, after sleep, I need to go to the post office and renew my driving license.

I was lucky that I checked my driving license the night before my car service appointment. I was relieved that it will still valid when I drive to the UMW service centre since it falls at the same date. Normally I will forget renewing it up until 2 weeks… meaning I was driving with expired driving license for 2 weeks… lucky no road block or anything 😀

I decided to go to cast my vote today. Arrange with a friend to go for voting. Fetch him around 12.30pm

We headed to St. Michael School… my old secondary school. Traffic a bit crowded in this small road. At the end we parked at the top of St. Michael Church hill. Walk down the hill and looks like it’s going to start drizzling. Walk down the hill for about 200m.

Check my name at the SPR counter. I showed them my slip which I got when I check my name at Tanjung Aru few days before. They said, I can use it… me and friend went to our respective ‘saluran’ or stream about 50m away. My stream is number 2.

Entered the stream 2 casting room… they look at my slip and said… KAU PENGUNDI HANTU!!!… no lah… just kidding… they said, I’m in the wrong room… HOIT!!!… this is my fourth time voting here… the very same building. They said, I have to go to St. Joseph School… my old primary school… WHAT? That is another 50m or so away!!!… don’t want to make noise, I go out and waited my fren.

Not satisfied, I went to check my name again at the SPR counter. I told them the voting clerk chased me away because I’m PENGUNDI HANTU!!!… They look SHOCKED. I ask them to check my name again in the computer since they did not check it earlier. Well… it is true that I have to vote at St. Joseph. I ask for the SPR slip this time.

Man… now I have to climb the hill to get the car and drive like another 400m to St. Joseph. Why the heck did they move my voting place around…

Since my friend already cast his vote… I ask him to be my PRESS SECRETARY… which made me RED later because there was ex-YB when my school mate shouted ‘since when did I have press secretary’.

At last, I manage to cast my vote… along my journey from the start, manage to see old time friends… schools mates… relatives… I just said “VOTE FOR ME YA”…

And I thought I was the only victim of being move around… it’s ok lah although I’m heavy but I’m strong 😀 … but an old man who do not have vehicle was also a victim… he have to walk like 200m altogether… 🙁 and he is using walking cane!

 
Checking my name again after almost declared HANTU

  
The old man who has the same fate with me… our voting place changed… about 100m apart, he has to walk… 😮

My Press Secretary did a good job…

Election will begin in less than 5 hours from now… or to be exact at 8.00 am. The feeling is mixed. Should I go or not? This gonna be my 4th time voting if I’m not mistaken… I forgot when was the first time I voted. Anyway, I will decide whether I will go for voting once I wake up…

Went to Likas driving range this morning. Adrian and Nadzree were there when I arrived. Park myself at one of the driving bay and went to buy a bucket of 100 balls for $10. Hits some balls till sweating like a cow… err maybe like a buffalo.

Halfway on my second bucket, I started experimenting hitting the carpet as hard as possible… I sarted with my number 5.  The idea is to create a deep divot when hitting the ball on the ground or fairway later. Then I change to P or pitching club. Did the same for a couples of balls… then when I try to hit the ball extra hard, I actually sink the club face deep into the carpet until it tear 😀 holly cow… it’s like a cobra sinking its fangs into the rabbit… wish I have the camera… I actually tear the carpet… the carpet is 1 inch thick… no wonder I can hit 268m 😛 … well, only when I hit it right lah… maybe if I wack a buffalo with the club, I might be able to kill the buffalo with one blow… 😀 But luckily I did not injure my hand.

I wasted some great opportunity and time this morning… damm! While writing some articles, I opened a few windows on my notebook… IE, Notepad and Words. My desktop gets cluttered, so I closed some IE, some Notepad and some Word. When it comes to Notepad and Words, it ask me ‘Do you want to save…’, I keep answering NO, NO, NO, NO… then I realized, I have not saved some of my Notepad and Words… DAMMM… I have to rewrite all over again… what a waste of time.

On thursday, before we entered Fuji Car Accessories, we stop by at aquarium shop next to it. I’m so interested with one of the aquarium… the price is RM588… I plan to get one soon 🙂

Look at this arowana… enjoying playing with the water spray…
