OK, you've all got blogs, so I'm creating one of my own, to sit, unvisited and unloved, like a forgotten grandparent, collecting dust in some home and, unnoticed... So now that I'm off on the right foot...

:: Disclaimer ::

Yesterday, I got a mail from one of my colleague and as usual every company has it's "disclaimer's" clause after all the messages..

To many (me including..) it is so common that we overlook or just don't bother to read it's content. To most "disclaimer" = "ornament".. Until yesterday:

"Disclaimer: This email message and any attachment(s) attached hereto contain information that is confidential and privileged under applicable laws. If you are not the intended recipient, (a) you are prohibited from reading, reproducing, distributing or acting in reliance on this message and or any attachment(s) hereto and any contravention of such prohibition may result in legal action and (b) you must immediately destroy this message (see how below) and any attachment(s) hereto and all copies thereof (if any) whether on any storage device or media or in the form of a hardcopy. Information herein are obtained from various public sources and are credited in the links sidebar list. If you have received this message in error, kindly notify our company, by replying with subject "unsubscribe" in e-mail. We will gladly remove you so you can live a quiet life. If it bugs you, just delete it. Simple. It's not like you have to do 5683 procedures to delete this mail. We are after all doing this voluntarily with more effort required to delete this, and limited resources (hence, don't sue us) as we're not getting paid unless you care enough to click the google ads, and like that's so hard and expensive for you to do something nice for us. At the very least, you know what's going on in your neighbourhood, have something to talk about to other moving organic tissues called human units, impress others that you at least have a social life and hope that you are not stuck in some cubicle hole somewhere with your workfriends named PC Hawaii Pizza, Sambal Petai Stapler and Manhattan Fish Market Fax. Go out and do something fun with friends or family like main hoolohoops. You live once. Your email address may have been obtained by your friends forwarding forwarded emails that exposed your address to everyone in the mailing list, as they were too lazy to delete previous forwarded addresses and not use the Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) feature in their email program, even after 1-12 years of using the internet. Because this lesson is not passed along, they keep doing it and we keep adding you back even after you've unsubscribed. So who's fault is it really? We might not know all of you. It's all part of a government conspiracy. If you forward this email to 50 people, Bill Gates will pay you Rp100,000. Yet you wonder why you get spam mail.. If you don't know how to use it, learn, look it up in the help section. That's the one spelled H E L P. We use it responsibly, so no one will see your email address. It's not a decorative feature like your car signal lights. How are you by the way? I'm fine today.. except for facing dangerous irritating inconsiderate overly slow drivers driving at their own pace way below the speed limit on the right lane completely ignorant to others who drive at normal speeds and really don't have time to wait for you to take your own bloody sweet time. So much money to burn more petrol is it?? Faster you drive more petrol you save & less you polute the environment. We respect your privacy really. Despite saying this, you probably disregarded our disclaimer and ignorantly insist on emailing us asking, "how you get your email address aah?". These fine prints are actually legally important especially when signing anything with the banks. Btw, no animals or models were harmed in writing this email. Ok, maybe an ant cus it was munching on my Mawi Flavoured Durian Coffee.. Sigh.. Thank you Thank you for supporting us all these while. We'd like to thank all the F1 Bazaar Stalls, Ah Kow Kueh Teow, Mawi Roti Canai & Teh Tarik, Kak Bedah Nasi Lemak etc etc etc.. Admit it.. At least we made you smile.. Aiyoh.. Bladdy F1 car faster than mine.. never give signal also can overtake.."

I'm not too sure what made me read the disclaimer..

I'm glad I did..
