Fake Eggs - Do We Still Believe Its A Hoax?

This news might have been cooling down by now but I think it is still worth posting as a reference. I received an email in november 2010 about this fake egg. I least thought that this egg will land on our shore but a (maybe more)consumer had been deceived in buying the egg in Penang. Some local con scientist must have received the email and turn into a money making venture but shortlived because it was exposed.  

Beware Of Anything From Chinese EVEN EGGS

Manufacturing Fake Eggs

In China there are fake schools and classes that teach a variety of blatant fraud technology, even eggs can be modulated by chemical materials, but also be able to fry cook, is currently the most popular False course. Step 1 modulation of raw materials. Using 7 kinds of chemical materials, see pic below

Fake egg was made from calcium carbonate, starch, resin, gelatin, alum and other chemical products.

Step 2 egg production

Raw egg into the mold to 2 / 3 full, put calcium chloride, colouring die,

the egg appears on the film been announced.

The 'yolk' is shaped in the round mould. 'Magic water' containing calcium chloride is used. 

By adding a yellow pigment and become raw egg yolk..
Step 3 fake egg shape
In the mold into 1 / 3 raw egg white, like the first package, like dumplings into the egg yolk, egg white into another, into the magic water, a shell eggs will come slowly. Naked egg shape to 1 hour to dry after washing with water, at shells ready.

Step 4 
Sewing lines through the use of eggs, immersed in paraffin wax, calcium carbonate, such as modulation of the eggshell into a solution, repeated several times until the shell a little dry, immersion in cold water pumping line shape, this point, the egg has been put on a false cloak , You're done.

Hard shells are formed by soaking in paraffin wax onto the egg, which are then left to dry.  

 

Oh yeah The Egg is ready. The artificial egg shell is very fragile and break easily but who cares!! Look so real 

Many small bubbles is formed during frying the egg but not many people can tell the difference.
The egg look exactly the same, and the eggs taste better than real but you are adding to the
statistic of food poisoning person.

Why make fake eggs ?
Because of money ?
The cost of fake egg is only 0.55 Yuan/kg, while the real eggs’ market price is 5.6 Yuan/kg.

  Cases of problem foods and food poisoning are widely reported in Mainland China over the last few years. In 2001, there were 185 cases of food poisoning, affecting about 15,715 people and causing 146 deaths. The cases doubled in 2002. In 2003, the number of reported cases was ten times more than that in 2001, and the number of people suffered was as high as 29,660, including 262 deaths Now In Sept 2008 Nearly 53,000 Chinese children sick from contaminated milk; 4 have died 

Many people have dismissed this invention as hoax. But now after it has gone on to the streets, is it still a hoax?

What A Rude Awakening

It was a 'rude awakening' this morning morning when I woke up and switched on my phone after being dead for running out of battery sometimes last night.

There is a message received at 9.41 am from shortcode 66600 informing me that I have redeemed my Kad Mesra point. 70838155104630143 ; 17002 mata ganjaran ditebus di PSS Spg Pulai arah Utara 07/04/11; 17:38:36.

What!!! How can I redeem my points at Simpang Pulai when I am here in Bukit Jalil. It is my card no doubt because mymesra contacted me to inform of the transaction on my phone. Yes, I lost my card on 3rd of March 2011 between 12.47 and 1.10 am at Simpang Pulai RnR Petronas Station (check my Foursquare check-in history). I only realise that I might have lost my mesra card when i wanted to fill up at another Petronas station in Alor Setar. When I trace back I was sure I lost it at Simpang Pulai Arah Utara. I did not fill up at the station but buy some drinks and snacks at the counter tended by a lady.  

It might be due to my carelessness because I was in a hurry since my brother is in the ICU ward at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital Alor Setar, that I forget to collect back my card after the lady swipe it. I presume the lady must have put it back on the counter but didn't she realise that the card is still there when I left. As far as I can remember there is not many people around because it is not the peak hour of the night. If she does and she is honest she must retain the card and surrender it to her supervisor. Read on and you will find out about my assumption.

The following week on the same reason as the previous week I stop again at Simpang Pulai RnR to inquire about my card. One Malay guy took out a stack of mesra and ATM cards that customers had accidentally left at the station but my card was not there. If that lady notice my card and surrender it to the supervisor, surely the card is there. 

Thats the history. 

Back to this morning. 

This bloody guy who might have 'stolen' my card left on the counter or the given by the lady at the counter. Err.... does she have access to read the card particulars? I think so because of the availability of on site redemption. 

This bloody guy must be someone who drive a high powered car, might be educated or have lots of money (but still steals). I checked with mymesra and was told that my points of 17002 was redeemed with petrol worth more than RM100. My 1991 Proton Saga can only fill up to about RM80 full tank.  So this guy must be driving an expensive car with that much of petrol on full tank. 

So, some people with brain are not that honest after all. He must have stolen and kept my card all this while and checked my available point and fill up. He can't redeem it from mymesra because the items redeemed will be sent to my home address. He is a smart fool......errr...smart bloody fool. Hope he read this posting. 

This morning after my call to my mesra, I was told that my stolen card will be terminated. So, you that bloody fool, keep that card as souvenir to tell your children and grand children that you are a thief and just steals RM 100 eventhough you have a fat wallet.

Not In Coverage But Still Can Say Yes

This blog is posted from my new place of residence. I have just moved from the National Sports complex to this new community beginning 1 April. Not far, just about 4.5 kilometre away. Still within the Bukit Jalil area. 

I am using Yes as my broadband connection and now the signal stength is just 1 or 2 bar as compared 4 to 5 bars when I was at the National Sports complex. When I checked the speed it was just 34.64Mbps Upload and 0.35 Download at Ping 61ms. I sent a DM to Yescare and was told that my present place is outside the coverage zone and it is good enough if I still can get the signal. 

What I was told is that there is two shade of blue showing coverage area and non coverage area. The lighter shade represents not in coverage. Well, if not in coverage why shade it and gave a wrong impression to customer and would be customers.

Tonight I am watching Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian on my desktop and the thumb up is there is no buffering at all eventhough the signal strength fluctuate between one and two bar. I just received a rebate of RM100 from my usage since December 2010 and that is a lot of surfing time which is at 9 cents per 3Mb.

1 April

Everybody is aware that 1st April is April Fools day. A day for people around the world create pranks,  make fools out of friends and create hoaxes. Sometimes the pranks go out too far and ended up with casualties.   Its a blessing that the practice is diminishing in Malaysia.

This posting is not about April Fool but my experience. On 1st April 1995, I officially change my job and moved to Kuala Lumpur. Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia released me from my Pegawai Perkhidmatan Pendidikan to enable me to hold the post of Penolong Pegawai Belia dan Sukan with National Sports Council. Therefore I have to move to Kuala Lumpur and on this day I reported to the then Director of Institut Sukan Negara, Dr Jabar Johari. Today in 1995 was also the first day I stay in a hostel like accomodation at Keramat AU3. Renting a bed with three others in a room with four double decker bed.

This year 1st April too, I will move into a rented Apartment at Bukit Jalil after having to surrender the present apartment back to National Sports Council because I am retired.
