Nine Random Things

Since this is the month of September, I figured this random 9 things would be quite interesting...

1. Apart from having 9 lives, cats are also lizards' natural enemy. So keep a cat around to keep those lizards away. Or just buy a can of lizard repellent will do the trick nicely.

2. September 20 and 21 is Hari Raya Puasa! Plus we get a few days holiday, yay! (ok, this is not that related but yours truly will be back to the land below the wind for holidays:)) Selamat Hari Raya Puasa!

3. Famous people who was born on the ninth da
y of September: Adam Sandler, actor (1966), Harland Sanders the founder of KFC (1890), Leo Tolstoy, writer of the book "War and Peace" (1828), Hugh Grant, actor (1960), Michelle Williams, actress from Brokeback Mountain and the mother of the late Heath Ledger's daughter (1980), Martin Johnson, lead singer of the band Boys Like Girls (1985)



4. The number "9" is a Cullen (^^) number. A "Cullen" number in this case does not refer to the clan of beautiful, golden eyed vampires. A Cullen number is actually a natural number of the form n · 2n + 1 (written Cn). Don't know what that means though. I suck at math anyway.

5. A new movie called, what else, 9, is out at
cinemas. It's an animated scienc flick starring Elijah Wood from Lord of the Rings. Do not confused it with "Nine" the musical. Not to mention District 9...


6. 9 weeks to New Moon! (starting next week... lolz)


7. What's with the increase of RapidKL bus fare starting from September 1st? Gone were the days I used to zip across two different areas and back in one day by just paying RM2. Now, I had to pay RM8.80 to go see my sis at Sunway and back... This is extortion! Cheryl's transportation fees per month is even higher since she has Korean and Japanese classes 3 days in a week.



8. According to my marketing text book, by putting a "9" at the end of a price of a product may actually induce people to buy it! For example RM89.99. People have a strange notion to assume that it is a good deal and will buy the product rather than a price such as RM90. Now, why can't they all be like Digi giving out free concert tickets to lure people like me to subscribe their music package for a well rounded RM10 monthly?

9. There's this baby who was born on 9.9.09, at the time 9.09am (yes you read correct) and surprisingly little Henry also weighs 9 pounds 9 ounces! How cute!
