Swinburne Fire

I recieved a a call from Mr. Matthew Layang about the fire at the State Complex Simpang Tiga (also known as Swinburne University) in the late afternoon (estimated at 1:35 noon time).

Wei Liang and Blueapple was probably there earlier than me. So I guess the story in their blogs are more first hand than mine as I arrived there half an hour after the fire started. That was about 1.50 noon time.

The earlier photo above with the smokes coming out from the tenth floor is taken by Mr. Mathhew Layang who was there earlier. Smoke was coming out of the tenth floor.

The video taken with my Nokia 6280. It was not set to the best quality mode as I forgot to do that part in my haste to get the pictures/movie.

Luckily no one was hurt in this fire. I believe this would be the second fire after a fire destroyed a meeting room at the ninth floor between 1999 - 2000 of the State Office Complex. I worked in the building between 1998 - 2001.

The Number Game

It's barely one week since I posted the photos on the funeral of Datin amar Margaret when someone alerted me last night on one of my pictures and todays Magnum 4 Digit Draw.

I am not so much a numbers fanatic but of any of the hardcore players out there have been observant they have been lucky with the numbers game.

I guess he was putting Wednesday's Magnum 4D N0.146/06 result as a source of his excitement:

With the Van-Hearse Photo that I took last two weeks.

Van's Number is 1818

I figure that if one is a fanatic in the numbers game, it will stir some form of excitement amongst those involved in the past events during their coffee shop talks. I don't know guys and gals. Let's put the element of probability in the numbers game - some people may have been putting in thrice a weekly investment in the numbers game and not strike any luck for years? But some players may have their day.

So to those who were right on target with the numbers - let's talk about it over coffee and discuss what the chances would have been? Being Malaysians the link between events and numbers has been part of our make up. First thing that Malaysians do when they encounter an accident scene is take down the plate numbers of the vehicles involved.

Happy Weekend

Wishing everyone a Happy Weekend. I do not want to read the newspaper today. I would not want to spoil my weekend as I hear that there are some rumblings in the Sarawak political scene. And the News Straits Times would have that sad story of a family hounded by Ah Longs. Not some thing that I would want to read today - maybe tomorrow. I guess i will share with you all what keeps me going. Its a video shot of little Shania in my mobile phone that I will put up in the Internet so that my parents can catch her in action online in Sibu. Being an amateur i seem to have forgot that the camera phone was the wrong side up.

Have a nice weekend people.
