Mr. Ang Weai Leoong, former Chief Inspector promoted to acting Assistant Superintendent I would like to extend my congratulations and shot out loud:

YOU DO US PROUD!

The peoples' confidence towards the police force has been reinstated because of you and may God bless you always.

Ang Weai Leoong

Acting Assistant Superintendent

PUTRAJAYA: Despite being shot twice, police officer Ang Weai Leoong refused medical aid until he had arrested members of an armed robbery syndicate.

And yesterday, for his courage and putting duty before self, the former Chief Inspector with the Kuala Lumpur special investigation unit was promoted to acting Assistant Superintendent by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan.

The 31-year-old father of two was shot twice in both his legs when leading six officers in a raid at a condominium in Sungai Long on Nov 5 last year to bust the Ah Tok Gang, a syndicate that specialised in robbing luxury cars in the Klang Valley.

“Even in such a critical situation, he was still able to stand up, with the will to continue his duty, to arrest two members of the gang,” Musa said at the award-presentation ceremony here yesterday.

Ang suffered from broken bones and was bleeding profusely and was taken for medical treatment at the Kajang Hospital, he added.

Musa said Ang and his team should be given due recognition for their sacrifice and commitment.

Ang, who is still on medical leave, said he was thankful and proud for the recognition. “Criminals these days are very different. They are willing to do anything to escape from the police,” he said.

“However, I will not give up but will continue to work hard to improve the image of the police force.”

Ang’s wife Lim Koon Teem, who accompanied him, said she knew about her husband’s occupation when they first met seven years ago.

“It is his love for the country that I admire.”

Recalling the morning when she first heard of Ang’s injury, Lim said: “I was very glad that it was him (Ang) and not any of his colleagues who called me up and told me about the injury.”

She said she was worried and sad after visiting her husband at the hospital.

“However, I did not dare shed tears in front of him because that would make him feel bad.

“I went to some corner of the hospital to cry,” she recalled, adding that she was very proud of her husband’s commitment.

Relive My Childhood

As some of you already know, I actually spent almost 1K for this arcade gaming joystick just to relive my childhood once again.

Those who grew up in the 80's would be familar with the classic games like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Dig Dug or the arcade games like Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Metal Slug etc.

Using this X-Arcade TankStick together with the Multiple Arcade Machine Simulator (MAME) I am able to play all sorts of games that I once played when I was young, minus the coin slots of course. *grin*

X-Arcade TankStick

I've lost count how much money I actually spent playing arcade machines back then. Not to mention all the Atari, Sega and Nintendo gaming machines that I onced was so obsessed with and played until the television actually died out on me.

I was once a guru in the Street Fighter II arcade game, and for those who are familar with the game will know exactly what the screenshots below means. *wink*

Street Fighter II

Super Sidekicks

Sonic The Hedgehog

Raiden

Puzzle Bobble

Metal Slug

Snow Brothers

Golden Axe

Double Dragon

Bubble Bobble

It is nice to rekindle some past experiences especially if those were interesting and fun, however playing alone is probably not as fun playing it with another friend.

So, if you want to relive your childhood again and you have my number then you know what to do! :)

Going Dutch On A Date

As a gentleman I absolutely feel that one should always offer to pick up the tab during dating (even after marriage) and unless the other party insists on buying or else the bill stays with me.

I never believe in splitting or going dutch as I rather let the other party treat me a full set course if they really insist in paying. So its either I'm buying, or you.

Anyone who has went out with me or has dated me in the past should know whether am I telling the truth or not.

I came across this article from The Star Online and I wanted to share it with everyone.

Rethinking who should pick up the tab when on a date.

The last time I went out on a first date, I realised halfway through my pasta Arrabiata that I would probably never see my dinner companion again. Our values were not in synch and our lifestyles didn’t mesh. Some of his opinions were also a little badly timed. Like his statement that women wear makeup to mask some deep-rooted inferiority complex.

I mean to say, there I was, sitting opposite him, with my lashes mascara-ed, and my lips glossed and my cheeks slightly blushed, and he had the cheek to suggest that I lacked the confidence to let the world see me as I really am.

Who’s paying? When on a dinner date, it is more appropriate for the person who initiated the invitation to pick up the bill. After that, it’s probably best to share the bill.

What absolute tosh! At that moment, I felt confident enough to contemplate jabbing my fork into one of his opinionated eyeballs. But I chose not to act on my thoughts. Besides, the sight of blood spurting out of a vacant eye socket might just have put off my dinner, and I really was quite hungry.

For over an hour, I feigned interest in his opinions and tried not to let my own quickly formed opinions of him spoil my appetite. As I overdosed on carbs, I listened to him twittering on about the benefits of regular fasting. As I sipped a glass of Merlot, he talked about the evils of alcohol. I responded by ordering another glass. How’s that for being confident?

Later, when he asked if I would like to share a dessert with him, I declined. There’s something intimate about sharing a dessert with someone of the opposite sex that sends out a certain message. Maybe it’s the closeness of two people converging over a small plate. Maybe it’s the exchange of oral bacteria. Maybe it’s the seductive, simultaneous licking of spoons. Whatever, I wasn’t in the mood for food foreplay.

When he declined coffee, I called for the bill, with every intention of paying for it in full. However, when the waiter presented it to me a short while later, my date reached over and attempted to grab it from me.

“You must let me pay for it!” he said.

“No, I want to pay for it,” I said.

“You can get the next one,” he said.

“There isn’t going to be a next one,” I wanted to say, but didn’t.

“OK, let’s go Dutch,” I said instead.

“You remind me of my mother,” he said. “She always wants to pay.”

The fact that he saw his mother in me caused me to lose my grip on the bill.

After he’d paid, I thanked him, wished him good night, and sped off home for some good chocolate, makeup remover and to ponder the ‘who pays for what’ conundrum.

When I go out with a girlfriend, we usually go Dutch. There are no arguments, or hidden agendas, or hard feeling to contend with. The same should apply when I’m having a dinner with a date. The only exception being the first date.

On a first date, I think it’s more appropriate for the person who initiated the invitation to pick up the bill. After that, I think it’s best to go Dutch. Either that, or pay for every other date.

However, some of my girlfriends have different ideas as to who should pay on a date.

“If the guy is earning more money than you, it’s OK to let him pay for the bigger items,” said one friend. “For example, if he gets dinner, I’ll pay for things like the cinema and coffee.”

“I’m OK with going Dutch, but if my date wants to pay, I let him pay,” said another.

Of course, there are some women who think that the man should pay the bill, all the time. Men sometimes complain about such women, while continuing to date them. So it seems, they must be getting something else out of the relationship that compensates for them picking up the tab all the time.

I even read about one woman’s justification for never offering to pay for dinner. Before she goes out on a date, she usually has a manicure, pedicure, something done to her hair, and buys a new outfit and some new underwear (just in case). She might also take some time off work to achieve her desired level of attractiveness. All of which add up to more than the cost of an expensive dinner.

So, all you single guys out there, the next time you buy a girl lunch, you might just have paid for a new pair of knickers.
