KOTA BARU: Two more victims of the Akademi Fantasia 4 SMS scam have lodged reports that they had been cheated of more than RM2,000.
The duo deposited RM1,100 and RM998 respectively into an account.
Rezlan said they believed many more had fallen victims to the scam but had not come forward.
Oh How Stupid Can One, or Two, Be? Very...
Satan's minions have struck again (and I don't mean Dan on One Tree Hill). And this time, the victims were really morons. Jeez ... come on! Some people are just so ... cerebrally-challenged! (Hey that book on Political Correctness has worked) Read the story below and tell me you don't feel like wringing their necks.

Two more fall victim to SMS scam
16 Nov 2006KOTA BARU: Two more victims of the Akademi Fantasia 4 SMS scam have lodged reports that they had been cheated of more than RM2,000.
The two, a housewife and a self-employed aged 26 and 36 respectively, who received the SMS on Sunday, lodged the reports at the Pasir Putih and Tanah Merah police stations on Tuesday.
State Commercial Crime chief Superintendent Rezlan Abu Bakar said the victims received a congratulatory SMS which claimed they had won RM9,000 in the AF4 contest and were told to deposit some cash into an account before they could claim the prize money.

Since when must we PAY in advance to claim prize money?! And why do I get the feeling that some people will just have to rationalise that the victims were hypnotised or pukau? Maybe it's my pissy mood that's made me so God damned pissed off! While still on the subject of stupid people, one guy scared me shitless when he was crossing the road on the freaking bloody FEDERAL HIGHWAY earlier! Pss pss.. the overhead pedestrian bridges were built for a reason you know! Seriously, it's at night and the cars are coming at you at 100mph! Already we have to inch our way through the fucking traffic jam and finally the road is clear, you expect us to look out for people who are too lazy to use the bloody mother$%%&& ing bridge?! Fucking idiots! You know what?... I really hope you become road-kill!

My Sabah Adventure
(Shooing away cyber-cobwebs).... Wooosaaaa...! Hello hello to all my loyal readers. Thousand apologies for not updating in a while. It's been a crazy month so far with write-ups and deadlines. Anyway, enough with the boring stuff. Had a very nice trip to Sabah (well to only KK specifically) last week. Would really like to see ALL of Sabah one day. I think I've regaled some of you already about the ooohs and aahhs of the Sutera Harbour Resort and who I saw there ... but for the rest of you dudes, here is the lowdown in chronological order.
Wednesday, November 8
6am - UNGODLY hour to be awake! So yeah I had to take the shuttle bus to the Air Asia terminal in Sepang for my flight to KK.
>>>>>>FAST FORWARD>>>sjfdbsjfrysjfnkjsfjfhs
12.20pm - Arrived in KK airport. Passed immigration. Nyahaha... just had to include that for no reason. Anyway, found the "resort person" holding a placard with my name on it. And hello... was being picked up in a Mercedes. Never expected that. Talk about jaga-ing the journalist.

12.45pm - Arrived at the Magellan Sutera Hotel (named after explorer Ferdinand Magellan) at the resort. That place was just so pretty. The good people there put me up on the Club Floor. By the by, my room was big enough for five people. And chocolate pralines on the table! oh wait <<<<rewind<<<>>>>>> where was I?.... oh yeah, my room had the best view... of the South China Sea! I wanna go back! My bathroom was awesome. Loved the shower. Had to freshen up quickly to meet the Mark-Comm exec for lunch.
1pm - Greeted by Sharon at the club lounge. A very pleasant Sarawakian. Took me to lunch at Al Fresco - a really nice Mediterranean outdoor restaurant at Magellan. Imagine having lunch with warm soft spray of the ocean breeze and the gorgeous view. I wanna go back! So, had fresh mushroom soup and delicious half-seafood and half-lamb pizza. Yummy!
2pm - After the nice meal, proceeded for site inspection of the SH properties. Boy we walked and walked and walked. From the Magellan, to the Pacific Sutera to the Marina Club. Checked out the different suites and marina facilities. They have eveything.
5pm - Tired as hell. Returned to my room to bathe and change for my.... SPA appointment!
5.30pm - Arrived at Mandara Spa at the next block. Loved the Balinese concept. Drank some ginger tea, had a foot bath, steam bath and a full body massage. I was floating and might as well have floated back to my room.
7pm - Back at room. Change to meet Dir of Comm (Michelle Iking a.k.a Daphne Iking's sister) and the COO for dinner at Ferdinand's (fine dining Italian restaurant). Also met the man himself, Chef Domenico, a native of Sardinia Island in Italy. A gem of a guy.
>>>>>good food, good wine, good conversation>>>>>
10.30pm - Back at room. Full and tired. Loved it!
Thursday, November 9
8.30am - Dragged myself out of bed. Breakfast at the lounge. Cute and utterly hospitable waiters. If all mornings were like this...
9am - Met Sharon. Strolled over to the Golf and Country Club. Met Affendi (the manager, who is a qualified graduate of Golf Property Management mind you... didn't know there was such a degree!) so, hopped on the buggy, and went on a tour of the bloody huge course. It's got a view of the ocean on one side and the city on the other. Put on m' golf shoes and shot a few at the driving range. I stand corrected, it is a form of exercise, contrary to my previous beliefs.
3pm - Back at hotel. Changed to go on city tour. Nothing much in the city actually. Quite small. Made friends with an Australian couple. Saw some seedy (scary looking) characters in town.
4.45pm - Back at hotel. Pengsan for a while. Laughed my ass off watching Vegas Baby on Starmovies.
5.40pm - Took a swim on the beach followed by the pool.
7.30pm - Dinner with Sharon at Spice Island restaurant.
10.30pm - Enjoyed my last night in my pretty room... packing! Sob sob!
Friday, November 10
8.30am - Breakfast followed by a bike ride around Tanjung Aru beach. Thank God I know how to ride a bicycle coz it would've been damn yembarrasing.
10.25am - Out of breathe. Struggling to put on swimsuit while stabilising heartbeat to rush to go snorkeling.
10.35am - Missed the boat at the marina. Bummed. But oh wait.... WHO did I see? Oh about 18 hot lookin' NZ All Blacks rugby players! Forget snorkeling. I had to anyway coz the next boat was chartered by the hot guys themselves. You stupid chicken for not getting their group pictorial! Anyway, I and Sharon decided the afternoon was compensated enough by the eye candy.
11am - Swam at the marina infinity pool and wallowed that could not go snorkeling.
12.30pm - Lunch at Silk Garden Chinese restaurant with Sharon and cutie Chef Domenico. I actually interrogated the chef about Italy and his hometown and cultures. This maybe useless info to some of you, but hey it's my damn blog - The Godfather is not fiction. There actually is a Mafia cartel in Sicily (still) in the district of Corleone.
2pm - Footy massage by the beach under the blistering heat. But still, lovely.
3.30 - Checked out and said goodbye. I WILL GO BACK!
Create Your Own
So that was it. Three well-spent days I ever had. Hope this weekend in Taman Negara will be fun. Our internship will soon be over but I'll still be working coz you know ... I hate being poor! Went to the KL Fashion Week yesterday with Ida, Junie and Mei Tien. Saw models slip and fall on the runway!... hahahhhaaaaa.... tu la, catwalk sakan sampai tersungkur! Anyway it was fun.
Hope all of you guys had a fruitful internship experience. Until next time, CHIAO!

12.30pm - Made our way to the marina via the boardwalk. Took a boat to Manukan Island, about 10 minutes away. Loved the boat ride. Arrived for a tour of the shalets and had a BBQ lunch. Wanted to go snorkeling but idiot that I am, left my swimsuit at the hotel. The water was beautiful. Crystal clear that one can see the fishies from standing and looking down. Lovely.
