Dropped your mobile phone / iPod in water?

I've just received a forwarded email Howe. Some people do not like forwarded emails but I love them because some can be useful information, while some with cute, bizarre and funny pictures. Of course there's another type of forwarded mails like "..if you don't send this... you will get bad luck...". This kind of forwarded emails, I don't always forward to other people unless those informative. Certainly I don't believe in that whatever how many days luck. Also, there are those that needed help, forwarding mails to accumulate money. I don't really believe that works but there's no harm trying.

OK, back to the topic that I wanted to say, the forwarded email that I have just received from Howe. It is some thing very useful. You may I received it from me. I would like to share it again here in case others did not seen it before.

If you dropped your mobile phone or iPod into a pool of water or it is soaked with rain or any liquid, you don't have to be sad. Not until it is confirmed faulty. Try to do this first:
--> power off the device if it is not off
--> separate the battery from the device
--> completely cover the iPod or mobile phone and the battery in a bowl of rice/grain(uncooked rice).
--> let it dry for at least 24 hours and DO NOT try to charge the device.

This is something easy that can save your device before sending it out for servicing which might cost you a fortune. If we would have know this earlier, I won't feel guilty once upon a time. I invited a friend to my combines birthday party with Maxine during secondary school(someone might remember what happen). That time, those who have mobile phones are from well off family. So this friend of mine, whose father is rumored to be a Datuk (which I do not know if it's true or not), brought along his handphone to our party. We had a water fight or should I say, my other friends were playing water balloon which ended up using hose in my bathroom instead. They somehow hitting and pushing each other and this friend's handphone dropped into a small pool of water. And it's spoil. I felt bad to him. Kept apologize to him. Well, after that, it was like nothing happened. Haha. I don't think he still remember anyway. Haha

Stillborn baby, foetus found

This is the headline for one of the news in The Star newspaper today under Metro North section. This is the story: PENANG: A stillborn baby boy was found dumped at a toilet by a Nepalese general worker in Komtar here. The worker was about to mop the toilet floor when he noticed a black plastic bag inside at about 10am yesterday. He became suspicious as he was carrying it outside. He then called his supervisor who contacted a security guard. The latter opened it up and saw a baby with its umbilical cord still attached. A report was subsequently lodged at the nearby police outpost. Police have not ruled out the possibility that the baby could belong to a foreigner. State CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Wan Abdullah Tuanku Said said they were now investigating the matter, adding that those with information should call the Rakan COP hotline (04-2691999). In Bukit Mertajam, a foetus was found floating at the Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) garbage trap station in Taman Sukun Indah near he

Joke

Adapted from The Star written by Vance Carson " Whether it is used in the process of making new friends or breaking the ice at parties and business meetings, having a good sense of humour and the ability to crack a joke is an asset to social interaction. Laughing at a person who slips on a banana skin or who receives a cream pie in the face are things most humans snigger at once in a while. Whether or not it is mature or moral to laugh at others, we just can’t help ourselves. A drunken man falls on his bottom, and we laugh before we run to his aid. It is the wicked side of human nature, but a side which also keeps us sane. If we don’t laugh, we go mad. Therefore, it is an important part of learning a language and understanding a different culture that we come to grips with the jokes, gaffes, pranks and all manner of witty asides which we may encounter. Aside from the rather more slapstick events which we find amusing, jokes or amusing comments can help others to warm to us. How

Are we Malaysians really that friendly?

When I was in my transit to LA from Bangkok, I met a guy from Afghanistan. Well, we talked we asked bout where we are from then he said he knew a few friends from Malaysia as well. He said his friends were nice, Malaysians are very nice. Then I said: 'So you think Malaysians are friendly?' 'Ya, how did you know?' 'Well, because I have heard people talking about it.' But how come me, as a Malaysian did not feel the same? I think I know why. Let me tell you. Did you notice that whenever we queue up at any counter to pay out items (food, groceries, anything) have we ever hear the cashier said 'Hello, how are you?'. We could hardly get any smile too. What happened to the 'SMILE WHEN YOU SERVE' campaign gone? It was just a momentary thing. Nowadays I always see sour face around. Well, I wouldn't say EVERY cashier is like that, some are, I appreciated them, friendly and with courtesy to serve. But how many do we actually see this? I wa
