Any news or information pertaining to this company is very much appreciated.

Vagabond

talexeh — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 21:58:35 +0800

I did a search on Vagabond but came up with not even a single topic that is solely dedicated to this awesome manga by Dr. T.

Although it was very much slower compared to Slam Dunk's plot, I find it interesting that Dr. T did not portray the main protagonist as a clean, play fair type of hero. Instead, his version of Musashi is constantly plagued with doubt, fear and indecisiveness that riddled the readers' perspective on how a hero should act / bring himself.

I was able to follow the storyline very well until the point where Musashi...

After that, I totally lost the plot especially with the little dark spirit which I assumed to represent Musashi's consciousness (or am I wrong?):

Maybe it was due to the scanlation group not doing a good job translating the dialogue as all the earlier chapters that I read were by Viz but can someone enlighten me about that genie-lookalike?

At the same time, I also find it weird that somehow, as serious as the plot may be, Ueda can actually...

Let's hope that this thread will not die out & remains on the 1st page, on par with the likes of Naruto, Bleach & One Piece. Vagabond fans, spam / discuss away!

[WTA] My Perodua Viva front tires

talexeh — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:54:45 +0800

Hi guys, pardon me if it's wrong to create a new thread for this. Hope that any Viva owner would be able to shed some light whether what I am facing is normal or not.

My 0.5 years old Viva's both front tires have a bulge as if not enough air is pumped into them. I checked the manual that all tires should have 28 PSI pumped into them but I have to raise it to 31 PSI for the front tires in order to avoid the bulge. The back tires do not face this issue though.

Is my car tires having problem?

I have to admit that I am a noob in car since this is my first car.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Can I sue Tao Cuisine

talexeh — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:05:06 +0800

Last Saturday I went to Tao Cuisine at E-Gate, Penang & had a lot of food including a few plates of their butterfish dish.

On Sunday, I was shocked to find out that I was excreting orange coloured oily stool like a water tap! At first I thought it was blood but I noticed that the orangish liquid was floating on the water surface hence it could not be blood but oil.

This caused me anxiety & disturbed. After 2 days of Googling around, I found out that it was a common symptom of consuming escolar, which was sometimes mistaken as butterfish.

The menu clearly labelled the dish as butterfish but since I have suffered from this symptom for the past 2 days, I believe that I have been served escolar instead of pure butterfish.

Question is, can I sue Tao Cuisine based on this fact? Do I have to get a doctor's report? What are the chance of me losing the legal proceedings?

Serious mode on please.

How to go to PERDA Industrial Park

talexeh — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:45:22 +0800

One of my friend will be undergoing interview at 1 of the companies in the aforementioned location. I was requested to fetch him there but Wikimapia & Google has failed me.

Can anyone briefly describe to me how to get there? I will be departing from Penang & all I know is to enter the Bukit Tambun exit while zooming down South thru the highway.

Help is very much appreciated.

Varicocele

talexeh — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:23:10 +0800

Is there any LYNer who has suffered from varicocele before? I have just been diagnosed after getting ultrasound done below there .

Doctor said the only way to solve this problem is to go under the knife. However, Wikipedia says that there are alternative methods.

Right now there is just the feeling of discomfort down there and I have had this symptom for nearly a month. Doctor said again that in the long run, this could cause infertility even though - sigh - Wikipedia says there is no real proof of varicocele patient ending up infertile.

Therefore, here I am trying to get some opinions from those LYNers who might have had varicocele before.

Tender spots on head

talexeh — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 01:37:49 +0800

I have been having tender spots on my head for more than a month now. There were a few spots on my head that have the bruising pain sensation. When I rub on these spots, the pain felt like as if I have knocked that particular spots on some hard surface before.

I have had myself checked by a physician in a private hospital nearby. CT scan returned normal result which I am very much glad of. However, I still can't get myself rid of these tender spots even after been prescribed with a few types of medicine by the physician. To date, I have taken Sibelium, Propanolol and currently, Neurontin.

I have done some research on the Internet and I found out that I am not alone after all: http://www.migrainepage.com/dcforum/discussion/13898.html

Therefore, I would like to ask around if any of you have had the same symptom as mine before? The chronology of events that occured for the past 2 months was as below:

1. Played badminton in the morning. I am certain that I did not accidentally hit my head.
2. Took a nap in the afternoon and felt serious soreness at the back of my head that woke me up (could be migraine, not sure).
3. For the next 1 month, I felt pressure on the top of my head. Physician diagnosed me as having tension-type headache and could be caused by badminton.
4. The pressure subsided but the tender spots came in until today.

I am now not sure on whether or not to continue consulting the physician. I was thinking of getting 2nd opinion but I am not sure if that is the wisest choice of all.
