Les Chang Eng Keong 13 July 1968 to 18 Feb 2008

It was saddened to read that Les Chang has terminal illness and passed away on yesterday, 18 February 2008.

Les Chang was one of my close buddies in mypdacafe and we had fun during those beamfest, fotokrazy fest and not forgeting the durian fest at his homestead in Balik Pulau. He was such a great guy and helpful to all new pda and camera users. He is a great photographer and well respect by those who know him. You may find some of his great photography work here.

We will definitely missed you, Les!

May his soul rest in peace!

How To Increase Your Chance To Win the Weekly Prizes from the Shell Contest

Shell Malaysia is organising a contest for all its customers who purchase RM30 worth of petrol/lubricant from them. The contest is running from 7 January 2008 until 2 Mac 2008. The weekly prizes are :-

RM25,000 x 2

RM1,000 x 10

RM200 x 250

RM100 x 800

100,000 Bonuslink points x 10

How can you enhance or increase your chance to win the weekly prizes?

I believed they are ten of thousands of contestants submitting the forms every week. This reduced the chance of stricking one of the prizes.

Say, if everyone, hold back their form and submit it only on alternative week, then, they will increase their chance by 50%! How? Say, for those people with their ic no, individually add up to a single old no, they will submit it on every first and third week, while those add up to a even no, will submit it on every second and fourth week. Eg. IC no. 700205-07-8643 = 7 + 2 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 42 = 4 + 2 = 6. This contestant should submit the contest form on the second or fourth week.

The idea is to reduced the no of contestants every week and to concentrate your submission of your forms in a week.

Spread the word, i think it will work!

My best wishes to you!

Ipoh ECHO

Not many people aware that there is a free fortnightly community paper serving the people of Ipoh, Taiping, Kuala Kangsar, Gopeng and Kampar. The IPOH ECHO is published on the 1st and 16th of every month. The Ipoh Echo's primary intent is to contribute, in whatever way possible, to enhance the quality of life of the citizens of Perak.

The above 'The Way It Was...', is a republication of a page from the Perak Pioneer newspaper, 100 years ago, this forthnight. The newspaper established in 1894 and the oldest and most widely circulated newspaper in the Federated Malay States (FMS).

Nam Heong Egg Tart

Beside white coffee, Ipoh old town is also famous for its egg tarts. You may find it at Kedai Makanan Nam Heong in old town. Costing RM1.30 each and if you buy 10 you will get 2 free. The tarts are crispy and creamy! However, i find it a bit sweety.

Kedai Makanan Nam Heong is the original restaurant which started the francise for the Old Town White Coffee throughout Malaysia.
