Puzzle #1: Move 3 matchsticks to make 3 squares

Today, a few good friends and I decided to have our lunch at Bubba Gump at The Curve...while waiting for our yummy meal to be served, one of the waitresses had our IQ challenged!!

The waitress arranged 12 matchsticks as shown below:

The challenge: Move 3 matchsticks to make 3 same size squares
Reward: One glass of bottomless softdrinks

We stared at the matchsticks, tried and error, but not long after that our meal were served...which indicated the end time for solving the puzzle....

Not satisfied, I kept thinking the puzzle and eureka!!! It was not that difficult actually, and I don't understand why I need so much time...in fact, I almost got it at the first place!!

Update @29 July 2012: Added new puzzle: Number Sequence Puzzle

When I was bored and had nothing to do...

... I snapped pictures!!

It was damn boring during my attachment with Market Risk Management, especially after I have completed the morning COB report...Being at 26th floor of Menara Maybank, I had a good 'helicopter view' of the metropolitan city, although I think the view from KLCC should be much better...

The famous 'dome' of the Masjid Negara was captured in this picture, along with the 'white building' (I still don't know what building is that, albeit passing by thousands of times)

Menara Maybank is near to two LRT stations, Plaza Rakyat station and Masjid Jamek station. Therefore the track for LRT can be seen clearly...I waited for a train to come and *snapped*

Mizuno Wave Run 2009

After 'rest' for two months, today I participated in another 11km marathon - the Mizuno Wave Run 2009 at UPM... and oh my...UPM is so HUGE!! the whole track is only inside UPM and I passed by almost all of its residential college, some faculties and a very large pond...

Completed the 11km track in 95 minutes, slightly better than last time :D

me before the race started

this picture was taken by my brother while i was struggling to climb the steep hill....

(and i didnt run that time, i walked, coz too tired!!)

at the finishing point

in front of the UPM main gate

content of the goodie bag revealed!!

(including a certificate, Mizuno shoe bag, sunblock, soft drink, shower foam, olive oil etc)

Ashley Tisdale's Kiss The Girl....

Couldn't sleep the whole night, so I browsed the YouTube and came across the video clip of Ashley Tisdale (of High School Musical fame), singing the remake of "Kiss The Girl"...

Actually, I have watched the videoclip before... The first time I heard the song, I was like...Wow...!! What a superb performance!! The slow tempo song suddenly become one of the most happening (and rockish!!) song in the town....I eventually saved the song and since then everytime I listen to the song it never fails to cheer me up and brighten my day :D

Well, I have always loved Disney cartoon movies... some of my favourites including Cinderella, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and the most unforgetable one, The Lion King... Then come the 3D movies, but I have always cherished Monster Inc. only... and maybe The Incredibles...

Sometimes, I miss the 2D cartoon movies... wondering if there is ever a new established one, as the industry is moving towards to 3D nowadays...
