Goodbye Hightech Toilets

Previously I've posted in my old blog (extract below) regarding these high tech toilets back in 2006.

These toilets arent called high-tech toilets for no reason. It is said to have a self cleaning mekanism which i have no idea how it works. According to the press, it cleans itself up after every 5 users. What will it do? Spray water everywhere? What if someone got stuck in there? Free shower and dry blow, ALL for the price of RM1. Just make sure you're lucky number 5~

Another reason why they called it high-tech toilets. You are only, yes, ONLY limited to 15 mins of usage of the toilet before the door automatically opens up. Dont worry, the door wont just open when it hits 15 mins. On the 14th minute, there will be a warning saying that the door will be opened in one minute. If you wish to continue using the toilet, you'll have to insert yet another RM1.

Fair enough, there will be a warning. What about those with hearing disabilities? On the 14th minute they hear nothing. Then, on the 15th minute though they cant hear it, there'll be laughter all around. So how will the makers of this high tech toilet will counter this? No news so far. I'm guessing maybe they'll put up a warning light ala DISCO BALL!! "Dance like shit"

Now, what about those on wheel chairs? Yes, the designers are thoughtful about them. The doors are big enough and there are handles and etc available for the disabled. There is also the table where you can change the diaper for babies (forgot the name for it =.=). The toilet is also perfumed.

About the materials of the toilet(judging from the picture), it looks like a typical Malaysian made unit. Everything looks like it's made out of plastic. What if there were smokers in there lighting up cigarette? Smoke fills up the whole room. How will the cleansing mekanism cleans this up? What if the person puts out the cigarrete by pressing it against the plastic walls? How will it clean it up? I'm guessing since it is *coughcough* high tech, the moment smoke is detected (nothing about a smoke detector was mentioned, i'm just saying what if there were), another free shower~

Okay I'm saving the best for last....
What if one were to get stuck in the toilet? That's no problem as there will be someone responsible for the unit right? WRONG! I'm guessing it'll be just like our security guard system. They'll probably be sleeping in their own cozy air-conditioned room without a care in the world. Did i mention that the whole toilet is airconditioned? Anyways, even if you DO, press a button in the toilet asking for assistance, I doubt the person incharged will be able to hear thanks to the blasting of his super high tech hi-fi stereo or earphones while watching the girls in revealing clothes walk past by (for guys) or cute hot guys (for female).
Realizing the help button is of no use, you used your handphone to call for help. But wait, if this is so high tech, they probably wouldnt want users to use their handphones while using the unit. So, what do they do? They installed a material that prevents your handphone to send signals out of the unit and signals into the unit. Even better, you're still stuck even though the 15 mins of usage time is up.
Stranded in there, you started pounding on the door screaming for help. You tried kicking, pushing and punching your way out. Thankfully for you, it's Malaysian made (I think it's Malaysian made....) so the lock pops out open quite easily. Remember because this is a high-tech toilet, it has sensors and an alarm system to see if someone is vandalising or destroying the property. Being caught red handed, you explained to the police on what happened including the part where you pressed the help button non stop. Too bad the person incharge denied your statement. The person incharged no doubt IS telling the truth even though the only thing entering his ears are the music of black metal. There was a short circuit in the wiring thus the help button was actually not working. Best part, this happened on the opening day (not real << it's all made up!!!).

Okay time to wrap it up. Remember a few days ago when an ATM machine was pulled out of a bank using a tow-truck? We should expect the same to our high-tech public toilets. Someone will come soon to steal all those syilings.

Now DBKL are removing them because they were not properly maintained and it costs too much to maintain them (Should've calculated that before you actually build/designed the toilets) (http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Community/2014/01/01/No-more-hightech-loos-DBKL-tears-down-automated-street-toilets-due-to-high-cost-of-maintenance/)


The more recent reports now say that the cost of using these toilets are 20 cents instead of the reported RM1 back in 2006 since the doors no longer work properly, no air conditioner or proper cleanliness. Well, it seems that Malaysians will always find a way to destroy public toilets and to turn them into such pitiful states that it is unnerving for anyone to continue using them. Heck, pity the workers who had to clean these toilets up now that it wont clean itself every 5 users as it was designed to.

RIP Bingo.... I'm gonna miss you so much

01/08/2003 - 17/12/2013 RIP Bingo...

No one wanted him at first but he got along with the family, when he grew up, he was always fighting with Jett and Lucky, always lazy, ate our bak kua and char siew, bite our plants, eats grass, his butt is heart shaped, has one testicle (the other is inside him...), dug holes, destroyed plastic plant vases, licked people in their sleep, loves to eat ice , scared of thunder and fireworks which made him scratch and destroyed the doors in our house, peed in my room, and couldn't chase a ball and live up to his retriever name until he was 8 years old, loves sleeping around coconuts, used to hate taking baths and hairdryers but over time he loves it more and more, lays down and turns his head away from you because I didn't give him any attention/treats but deep down inside I know he still wants attention and occasionally he peeks to see if I'm still there...

Now with him gone, it's silence when I get home because he's no longer there to welcome me home with barks...

And I'm unable to bully, tease or slap his face while calling him a stupid and ugly dog again T_T

Gonna miss this ugly, stoopid, destructive but lovable dog...
10 Years was too short for you to go...

Goodbye pal

Weird Dreams : hangover marriage?

So I dreamt where I was married but I had no memory of being married to this girl... even found out she had a baby boy who had the same birthday as me and I'm not his biological father. The kid had a birth defect as well where the white liquid in his eyes are clear and every internal of the eye can be seen.
My friends family and parents also said that I was married to her but again I had no memories and played along................

Short film idea : The Theory of Time Travel

A young PHD (age 24) is considered a genius and one of the brightest of the human race has finally achieved what many could not. Time travel.
He started talking about how Einsteins theory of relativity is wrong. Request the audience to throw everything they know about time out the door. Alternative dimensions, movie theories, etc.

Theorizing on how one can enter the future without being old. Theorizing on how one can go back in time when he/she isn't born yet.

But PHD/Masters of his caliber says otherwise. Says he cannot prove this theory.
As he explains to them and giving countless speeches ,we see him aging older and older but have not obtained 'time travel' (in montage).

Finally when he is aged 72, he has finally found the secret to time travel. Ecstatic on his discovery and happy he is finally able to prove his doubters wrong he gathered the world to witness his discovery.

Hoping to travel only a few minutes into the future, he accidentally traveled back in time... but to the time when he wasn't born and he disappears in an implosion.

Flash back to age 24, someone asked him, why can't you appear at the same time period or go back in time to before you were born? He merely answers that by having two of him at one period of time will create a paradox and will destroy the other. So if  you were to go back in time before you were born, you will never exist anymore.

---Well, some part needs work and touching up but that's just the general idea

Rest in Peace : Jett 14 January 2007- 19 September 2013

Good bye Jett....
You were too young to go.
Heart worms has gotten the better of you and hope the same doesn't happen to Ebby.

=(

RIP Jett September 19 2013

Good bye Jett.. May your overactive, drool-a-lot, tail-whipping soul rest in peace.
It's so sad that we didn't get enough time to bond and too soon since Lucky was put to sleep that we lost you as well....

Weird Dreams : Floating fishes in air

Had a dream where you enter this room filled with "air" and there are mini fishes swimming in there in circles. You are given this controller/dial which allows you to change the direction of where the fish will swim (clockwise/anti-clockwise). It seems to be sending electrical signals to those fishes causing them to swim in those directions.
After some time passes, the "air" isn't as saturated anymore in the room and these floating fishes started dropping to the floor one by one dying...
