Daily Jots @ d2zone.netMy jots and almost everything else under the sun

I honestly hope it’s the latter.

While lovers celebrated Valentine’s day last night, I was at home watching TV while the people around my neighbourhood were “fighting” who has the best fireworks display. The bangs and the booms continues till midnight. I looked outside the window and I can see that they were having a heck of a time with their own fireworks like it was the 4th of July, or perhaps 31st of August for us Malaysians.

Around midnight, I still see at least a dozen different neibourhood area firing up their fireworks into the night sky, the closest being just across the highway from my apartment and the furthest perhaps in Kepong area. Nevertheless, it was noisy.

But among those fireworks, I got a shock of my life when I look up in the night sky above. I saw like between 8-10 hovering lights in the sky, like it was emitting from a flying object. Only that, the flying objects neither have the flight pattern of an aircraft nor a helicopter. It was just just hovering about. It does move, from my point, North to South. The furthest being above MRR2 and beyond, and the nearest was above my apartment in Sri Damansara.

The objects were not in a line. They were quite far apart from each other but in large numbers. Like I said, I saw between 8-10 of them.

Ok, if its an aircraft, there’s no way it can make a 180 degrees u-turn, which one of the objects did. And the lights weren’t blinking either. Helicopter? Well, when about 3 of those objects came close to my area, I opened my windows to check whether I can hear the sound of the rotor or the fan blades. But NOOOO. No sound coming out of it at all. Besides, if a helicopter made a u-turn, it would take about 10 seconds to turn 180 degrees and fly the opposite direction. But this object made the turn immediately and moves in the opposite direction at quite a fast speed.

And, I never seen a helicopter goes up and down like a yo-yo quite as fast. Like I said earlier, I really hope I’m imagining this.

Too bad I can’t get a clear picture on my camera phone. Well, I don’t have a real camera, so to rely on a camera phone is not good enough. All I got was nothing.

Amidst the fireworks that goes on, I wonder if any of those people saw what I saw. If I saw one flying object, I don’t mind saying that I’m imagining things. But seeing almost a dozen of it hovering about, well, I hope I’m not the only one who saw it.

So people, those of you who think you saw some flying objects above either Damansara Damai, Sri Damansara, Kota Damansara, Kepong or the surrounding area, please let me know that I’m not the only person who saw those flying objects.

Although I’m a paranormal freak, what I saw was just weird. But I like it.

I found a nice place to find a good nyonya cuisine in PJ area. It was my first time dining in Ah Tuan Ee’s Place in The Curve, Mutiara Damansara. And I can safely say that the food is good, really good.

The setup brought me back in time, felt like I was in an old traditional nyonya place in Melaka. I like that feeling. I’ve been to Melaka a number of times and been to the old coffee shops in the historic city. I remember when I was alot younger, I was staying there in a hotel with my parents and there was an old kopitiam nearby. I went there for breakfast and I felt like I was actually reliving the old times. I can’t explain the feeling. It’s like, nostalgic.

Anyway, Ah Tuan Ee’s Place reminded me of that. Plus, the food is fantastic too.

Worth a visit.

I saw a kopitiam in Melaka that looks just like this.

Geena was excited to dine here.

The sambal sotong.

Sotong in sambal sauce, absolutely fantastic. I know we can this dish anywhere but you must remember, the style of cooking varies. This one taste authentically delicious.

Kangkong belacan. Nyonya style instead of Thai.

I’ve had kangkong belacan many times. But from this place, it’s different. Ada kick sikit.

Deep fried bean curd with mushroom something (can’t remember).

The bean curd was good. It’s crunchy but at the same time, soft, like M&M. It melts in your mouth.

I don’t mind coming back here for lunch or dinner again. The price is just about right for this kind of meal. No regrets at all. I really have to try the other dishes as well. Something uncommon for a change. We’ll get to that on my next foodblog.

Bottom line is, where there’s good food, there I’ll be. Heh heh.

Just playing around with Photoshop to see how I can improve the appearance of a photo. Although the photo was taken using a 2MP camera phone, the final outcome is however, considered good.

I still aim to get myself a DSLR camera, either Canon 350D or Nikon D40.

Got any 2nd hand ones? >____<

No, It’s not the name of a new upcoming blockbuster movie. It is simply, the Malaysian Express buses.

This goes out to all, especially to those irresponsible bus companies.

It is sad to hear that bus crashes happens during every festive seasons here in Malaysia. Worse of all, it usually ends up in deaths. The latest “Hell Bus” ride happened on the 25th January 2008 on the highway near Slim River. It seems that the bus driver had a few, well, a lot of traffic summonses for reckless driving. Apparently, some witnesses said that the driver was driving very fast while sending text messages (SMS) from his mobile phone. WTF?!?!?!

This must stop.

An online petition has been set up by a group of people. Here’s the details:

We, the concerned youths of Malaysia express appalled anger towards the Slim River Bus Crash incident that claimed the life of Lee Nian Ning, Mohd. Zailani and Pang Boon Eng on the 25th of January 2008. This is not the first time that such an incident has occurred. Despite numerous complaints and public uproar in the past, incidents like this continue to occur. It was reported that the driver’s company had 13 summonses on that bus itself. We find it unacceptable that such a company could have operated that vehicle on the road.

What are the explanations?

Hundreds of thousands of university students just like Nian Ning and us rely on such public transport to travel back home. A human life should not be taken lightly.

How could a vehicle with 13 summonses be free on the roads and not be held by the authorities?

We, the following, hereby demand that the relevant authorities set up a committee consisting of road safety experts and representatives from relevant public bodies to conduct a thorough study to find effective solutions to ensure that mistakes like this do not occur again in the future.

We will not be quiet until we see it in the media that satisfactory measures have been taken.
