William's
Was during my usual forum browsing and I came across a topic which struck my eye... "William's Mamak, Taman Mayang Jaya,share your experience here!" well since mamak is one of my preferable mamak,I decided to have a look.I expected heaps of praise to his humble lil shack..but instead...
___________________________________________________________________
Since we're on the subject of William's Mamak, let me tell you something that happened a few weeks ago.
This happened to a friend of mine who is also a LYN forumer, I shall not reveal who this person is.
Apparently, not all of us here like William's, and that includes myself after hearing what happened to a fellow forumer. I have blacklisted William's ever since.
First incident:
This incident involves this forumer (let's call this person "M" from here on, who used to frequent William's regularly) ordering the Soft-shell crab fried rice at William's, and when it came to paying the bill, M was charged RM10 for the said dish. "Wah, that's expensive leh." commented M to William, but William didn't said anything.
Then the next day, M was at William's again having dinner. Then he overheard a bunch of kids sitting behind his table ordering food with William, one of the kids was asking how much the soft-shell crab fried rice cost, William replied "RM10", then the kid exclaimed, "Wah lao, so expensive wan geh?!", William without noticing that M was sitting at the table in front replied rather proudly in Cantonese, "Soft-shell crab fried rice is for Sohai to eat wan! So expensive also wan to order, that's why people who order it are Sohais." ('Sohai" in English means "Dumb Fcuk")
I guess you can imagine how M felt when he heard that. In addition, what William didn't realize was that the bunch of kids he was telling that to were actually friends of M. Those bunch of kids also blacklisted William's after what he said.
2nd incident:
A few weeks ago, someone posted a comment on Wikimapia.org about William's Mamak in Taman Mayang Jaya. The comment was criticizing how terrible the service is at William's, that William himself is a terrible gossip, the food was tasteless becoz it has way too much black pepper and the prices he charge is ridiculously high for a mamak. (I personally agree with the comment)
Note: This comment has since been erased by William himself who (being the sore-loser that he is) replaced the original comment with his own words about how good his mamak is. And recently, I took the liberty to erase everything including the location plot points on Wikimapia.
When William found out that someone was writing negative comments about his mamak on Wikimapia.org, he got very pissed off and blindly accuse M for writing those comments. M didn't realize this until one night another group of M's friends went to William's for a drink. William knew that this group are M's friends, so he took the opportunity to badmouth M in front of them. Telling M's friends that M is writing crap about him on Wikimapia, cursing M for being a Sohai, etc. M's friends were so pissed at William that they nearly "terbalik" the table after hearing those things about M. This group of M's friend also blacklisted William's from then on.
I'm very pissed off after hearing this too, how could William simply accuse M for writing those comments on Wikimapia?! We don't even know who actually wrote it as anyone who doesn't like William's mamak could've written it.
I've lost all respect for this William, what a damn sore loser he is, a little criticism also cannot take.
Actually, I got another lady friend who ordered a dish of Indomie Goreng at William's, guess how much William charged her? RM7 for a dish of plain Indomie Goreng! This lady asked William why is a dish of Indomie Goreng so expensive, William replied right in front of her in Cantonese, "Becoz this dish are for Sohai to eat wan." After that, this lady friend also blacklisted William's.

C4... Diffused..~!
Briton at Asia Cafe Arrested by Malaysian Police for Online Money Laundering
He was a regular sight at Asia Café. He was the man whom some labeled as the computer Einstein as he was the white-haired Caucasian man with the Einstein hairstyle who spent hours everyday from morning to afternoon ‘working online’ from his Dell laptop at Table C4.
It is believed that more than a thousand students from the SS15 area, which includes Taylor's, Inti, Metro, dan lain lain lagi.... has seen him before.
It was not until a few days ago when his true identity and work was foiled! He was the man behind the mask of a popular online scam that attracted 100,000 global investors. He was just arrested last Wednesday (30th August 2006) by Malaysian police officers for online money laundering involving a massive sum of RM26,679,371.
I’m guessing that you might most probably have seen him before. Isn’t it a little surprising? Many who suspected this harmless peasent to be a mastermind of crime should cash in their money, as many had their doubts, sensing something was not right as he sits there at the same table (C4) working on his Dell laptop for hours from morning to afternoon almost everyday. I mean, why would someone spent hours on a laptop everyday in such a humid and busy place when he could be comfortably working back from his home? Perhaps, he might be just another Caucasian enjoying the tropical weather and Asian scene that he can’t get back in his country?
But the truth was revealed a few days ago when he was arrested. All this happened while he was at Asia Cafe doing his daily routine,working his online scam from his laptop. He was using Asia Café’s internet connection to disguise his identity and IP address so that he could not be tracked down by Malaysian police.
In my opinion though, I think he was doing this for the trill of it. Ya know.. ta see how long till he gets caught.. I mean, if he really wants to steal money for the sake of spending and living a luxurious life, wouldn't he like... scam 5mil and move to another country... then scam another 5mil...?
Wait.. Don't label him Dumb just yet.. Let's say.. he lost his passport or has a fear of planes or doesn't trust Malaysian Airlines or sumthin la k? Give him he benefit of the doubt..
Couldn't he like.... change location or sumthin..?
There are tons of places with WiFi which he could use to vary his IP address..! Like Starbucks or sumthin..
Maybe he feels the employees at Starbucks would suspect sumthin.. and feels much safer with the Seh-ger-soo-gers (Africans) around..
OR maybe he thinks that Malaysian police are jez plane dumb...
Lolz.. Maybe he purposely came to Malaysia coz he heard of the great police force which came to the rescue after getting a robbery report from my neighbour's place which is 800 meters away... 35mins later..
With guns and all summore...
35 minutes late.. SHoot birds ah?
Lolz..
Malaysian Police probably weren't even gonnna bust him..
Maybe Immigration officers came to bust illegal Seh-ger-soo-gers working there, and happen to see his laptop while he was in the loo..~!
This is the news report published from The Star & New Straits Times respectively:
He was a regular sight at Asia Café. He was the man whom some labeled as the computer Einstein as he was the white-haired Caucasian man with the Einstein hairstyle who spent hours everyday from morning to afternoon ‘working online’ from his Dell laptop at Table C4.
It is believed that more than a thousand students from the SS15 area, which includes Taylor's, Inti, Metro, dan lain lain lagi.... has seen him before.
It was not until a few days ago when his true identity and work was foiled! He was the man behind the mask of a popular online scam that attracted 100,000 global investors. He was just arrested last Wednesday (30th August 2006) by Malaysian police officers for online money laundering involving a massive sum of RM26,679,371.
I’m guessing that you might most probably have seen him before. Isn’t it a little surprising? Many who suspected this harmless peasent to be a mastermind of crime should cash in their money, as many had their doubts, sensing something was not right as he sits there at the same table (C4) working on his Dell laptop for hours from morning to afternoon almost everyday. I mean, why would someone spent hours on a laptop everyday in such a humid and busy place when he could be comfortably working back from his home? Perhaps, he might be just another Caucasian enjoying the tropical weather and Asian scene that he can’t get back in his country?
But the truth was revealed a few days ago when he was arrested. All this happened while he was at Asia Cafe doing his daily routine,working his online scam from his laptop. He was using Asia Café’s internet connection to disguise his identity and IP address so that he could not be tracked down by Malaysian police.
In my opinion though, I think he was doing this for the trill of it. Ya know.. ta see how long till he gets caught.. I mean, if he really wants to steal money for the sake of spending and living a luxurious life, wouldn't he like... scam 5mil and move to another country... then scam another 5mil...?

The Crocodile Hunter.... Hunted!!
CAIRNS, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44.
Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to one of the animals, which have a poisonous bard on their tails, his friend and colleague John Stainton said.
"He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat at the time.
Crew members aboard the boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later, Stainton said.
Irwin was famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchword "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter." First broadcast in Australia in 1992, the program was picked up by the Discovery network, catapulting Irwin to international celebrity.
He rode his image into a feature film, 2002's "The Crocodile Hunters: Collision Course" and developed the wildlife park that his parents opened, Australia Zoo, into a major tourist attraction.
"The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," Stainton told reporters in Cairns. "He died doing what he loved best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. He would have said, 'Crocs Rule!'"
Prime Minister John Howard, who hand-picked Irwin to attend a gala barbecue to honor President Bush when he visited in 2003, said he was "shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin's sudden, untimely and freakish death."
"It's a huge loss to Australia," Howard told reporters. "He was a wonderful character. He was a passionate environmentalist. He brought joy and entertainment and excitement to millions of people."
Irwin, who made a trademark of hovering dangerously close to untethered crocodiles and leaping on their backs, spoke in rapid-fire bursts with a thick Australian accent and was almost never seen without his uniform of khaki shorts and shirt and heavy boots.
His ebullience was infectious and Australian officials sought him out for photo opportunities and to promote Australia internationally.
Irwin's public image was dented, however, in 2004 when he caused an uproar by holding his infant son in one arm while feeding large crocodiles inside a zoo pen. Irwin claimed at the time there was no danger to the child, and authorities declined to charge Irwin with violating safety regulations.
Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken against him.
Stingrays have a serrated, toxin-loaded barb, or spine, on the top of their tail. The barb, which can be up to 10 inches long, flexes if a ray is frightened. Stings usually occur to people when they step on or swim too close to a ray and can be excruciatingly painful but are rarely fatal, said University of Queensland marine neuroscientist Shaun Collin.
Collin said he suspected Irwin died because the barb pierced under his ribcage and directly into his heart.
"It was extraordinarily bad luck. It's not easy to get spined by a stingray and to be killed by one is very rare," Collin said.
News of Irwin's death spread quickly, and tributes flowed from all quarters of society.
At Australia Zoo at Beerwah, south Queensland, floral tributes were dropped at the entrance, where a huge fake crocodile gapes. Drivers honked their horns as they passed.
"Steve, from all God's creatures, thank you. Rest in peace," was written on a card with a bouquet of native flowers.
"We're all very shocked. I don't know what the zoo will do without him. He's done so much for us, the environment and it's a big loss," said Paula Kelly, a local resident and volunteer at the zoo, after dropping off a wreath at the gate.
Stainton said Irwin's American-born wife Terri, from Eugene, Ore., had been informed of his death, and had told their daughter Bindi Sue, 8, and son Bob, who will turn 3 in December.
The couple met when she went on vacation in Australia in 1991 and visited Irwin's Australia Zoo; they were married six months later. Sometimes referred to as the "Crocodile Huntress," she costarred on her husband's television show and in his 2002 movie.

Merdeka~! From a different point of view..
It was the 31st of August..
49 Years ago..Our beloved country proudly broke off from the shackles of the "Anjing Penjajah".. yang menjajah dengan kejam sekali...
Kita, sebagai warga Malaysia terhutang budi kepada Wira-wira seperti Tunku Abdul Rahman, yang berjuang bermati-matian untuk merampas kermerdekaan daripada orang Inggeris.. Jika pekara ini tidak tercatat dalam sejarah, Negara kita mungkin
mencapai impian sebagai negara yang maju, dan tidak terjebak dalam pelbagai rasuah dan konflik dalam negara. Negara kita mungkin diiktiraf antara destinasi pelancongan bertaraf dunia, yang mempunayi ekonomi yang stabil dan mata wang yang besar di bawah pemerintahan pelbagai gabenor Inggeris yang berkaliber..
Owh well,..
We owe it to them don't we..
Ahahaa..
I'm just kiddin..
HEy~! No Country is perfect..
I love Malaysia no matter whut ppl huvta say...
I mean, you can't get busted for fooling around with illegal fireworks and get away
