Last Friday was very hot but the sunset color was rewarding.

dont know why but 30secs was not enough to calm the water.

Northern/Southern Lights in Singapore

2009-03-24T00:36:00.003+08:00

Last Friday was a pleasant day to take photo. Captured an extraordinary phenomenon. I don't think I'm going to see it again in my life. I was lucky to have a camera with me. Pardon the sensor dust and lousy exposure, with my amateurish hobby skill it was very difficult to capture a perfect shot. I didnt have time to try other things, I was just to panicky.

see the rainbow ala n/s lights ala aurora or wateva you call it?

At a new job for 2 months now. Work is not as busy as the previous. However, the level of concentration is higher. In case I haven't announce to the world, I am now at one of the leading vaccine producing firm in the world. Everything goes thru qualification, validation, etc, etc ... Just the specifications, procedures and whatever, whatever are killers.

Good thing about this job where employee benefit is so much better, more job satisfaction, more time to spend at home and not forgetting, my role changed. I am now a client. Tables changed, vendors listen to me ... But, but , but, being a vendor throughout my working life, I know just how a vendor feel towards client. I am nice to vendors.

I like this story so much that I must share with all of you.

Sergeant Pah Wenxiang was patrolling along Woodlands Road at about 5.30pm on 31Oct last year when he spotted a driver of a white car making an illegal U-turn and driving against traffic flow for 500m.
In doing so, the driver narrowly missed a collision with a motorcyclist before entering a petrol station.
The cop then tailed the driver and confronted him when the latter stopped at the petrol station.
The driver, Lim Teck Choon, a 56-year-old Malaysian businessman, told Sgt Pah he did not want to be caught in the traffic jam and wanted to return to Malaysia as soon as possible.
He even went on to suggest that it was common for vehicles to reverse and drive against the flow of traffic when there was a traffic jam.
His excuse cut no ice and Sgt Pah proceeded to inform Lim that he would be charged in court for dangerous driving and that he would be placed under arrest.

Rejected again

2008-11-04T01:01:00.002+08:00

Submitted this photo for sale and yet it got rejected. For what? Model release ... Nin nah beh, how to get a model release at such a location?

I think this photomerge was quite well executed.

Bali is a really nice place!

2008-10-11T02:17:00.003+08:00

Had a week's break to Bali for holiday. One of the highlight is the rice terrace.

i'm still confused whether this place is called Tegallalang, or Cekiangan. I'm sure this is Bali.

Lee Chong Wei Lost

2008-08-21T22:25:00.002+08:00

Kind of disappointing to watch the most anticipated no. 1 against no. 2 olympics gold medal match. Waited for 3 horrible hours to watch msian lee chong wei kanna dapao.
And I just said msian lee chong wei but not chinese lee chong wei. How much that I hoped he had win gold and prove to the racists at home that you guys need non-malays in this country. NOT that non-malays are superhumans, but we needed each other as a nation. Gaps opened can be filled by a better person.

Stop buying Proton. Merz is cheaper.

2008-07-23T10:37:00.002+08:00

As above ... says our Big Manager in one of the states where they recently bought 14 new Merz for their official usage.

the maintenance cost of two of the cars since 2004 was RM175,229.97 and RM132,357.76, said the statement faxed to Bernama.The state government has bought 14 Mercedes E200 Kompressor cars at a cost of RM3.43 million to replace its Perdana V6 Executive cars for use as the official cars of the state executive councillors and senior state government officers.

isnt that coooool?

i can tell my sis who recently booked a Proton to cancel her order. we might just lump in some $ together to get a Mercedes E200 Kompressor as recommended. Since our JAQ Mazda had managed to serve us about 16 years, we might just invest in the Merz. It could save us hundreds of thousands with the thought that we might drive it for 20 years.

went to Peranakan museum last last weekend. Found out that rich people like Yap Ah Loy, Tan Tock Seng, Gan Eng Seng, Sir Tan Cheng Lock ... etc etc are Peranakan descendants. These peranakan people are amazing. Maybe they are equivalent to Jews ... at straits.

Play Backside

2008-07-22T11:19:00.004+08:00

While our country's political heroes and villains are displaying their best moves to defeat each other, as a humble citizen I felt stupid with all these games when queried:

Q: Hey! You are Malaysian aren't you? I like the colourful politics there.
Me: Thanks ...

The gahmen made us look stupid again today, in fact yesterday. It was on 10 pm news, while I was lying on my bed, waiting to jerk myself off, I got jerked off from the interview of lovely but stupid Premier Manager and Homely Manager. So lame ... So gay ....

" The authorities require a fresh DNA sample from **********
because the sample extracted 10 years ago is too old, said Premier Manager today."

It is either they are smarter than the DNA experts or they couldn't care less about the international hit series CSI. DNA samples are permanent, just like blood type, or thumb print since the day you were born. Could it be I'm O+ today and I be AB tomorrow? Impossible ... Yet possible ... In Malaysia some other way.

The gahmen loves us, we Malaysians are stupid ... a person who claims to take over the parliament end of the year would sodomise another and let his guard down? Why would he? I bet he wouldn't even dare to lick his wife just in case he got the whole episode video taped.

We just don't get enough of anal= ass= backside. May I present the below HDR of back~~side~~yard of the hotel I stayed while at Sapa, Vietnam.

Do you know there is this organic farm at the intersection near Kluang and Ayer Hitam? They have lots of dragon fruits too. To me, it seems it is more to a dragon fruit farm than anything else.

Still too lazy to do anything except reading the lies from MT

2008-05-15T09:43:00.004+08:00

Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar told the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.

On the country's crime index, Syed Hamid admitted that the incidence of crime had gone up last year compared with the situation in 2006.

"However, the increase is not that significant."

Syed Hamid said last year the country's population stood at 27.3 million and the reported crime index was 209,559. The case per 100,000 population was 767 compared with 753 in the previous year.

Malaysia Today reports lies only. So don't believe too much of what the blogger says. Which minister in the world can be so stupid to give the above statement? A crime is a crime. Even deduction of the numbers is still a crime. Stupid ass.

New Interest

2008-02-23T11:56:00.003+08:00

Instead of saving money of banquets etc. we have been splurging on new theatrical interest . And this new interest brings us locations in Sillypore which we never knew it existed. We've been to the Esplanade to watch Beauty World, been to National Library to watch another funny one. And who would have thought that the NLB at Bras Basah would have a drama center? And after all, that was my first visit to that big NLB anyway. Katak di bawah tempurung.

And to solve the often thought mystery about boringness and sleepyness when you step in to watch these performances, the answer is no. At least not for me, because those that we watch are light ones with lots of humor. And who would want to snore inside the mainly uncomfortable seats when you paid a hundred over dollars for stall seats. Btw, stall is the category just in front of the stage where you can see the performers face and expression, which to me is very important. We've tried sitting at circles where it is too far for us. These theatres are not like watching concerts where there are giant screens for fans seated far away.

I couldn't say much if I were inside a Shakespeare's piece. There is Hamlet coming up, who wants to watch?

We have just collected the tickets for Dim Sum Dollies which will show next week.

quickly go watch

And today, we are going to buy tickets for 'the pillowman'. Macam got starring Andrian Pang ler.
The story is a lil bit heavy, just try lor. Go google a bit to find out more.

will order today

Locked in Panic Room

2008-01-26T18:53:00.000+08:00

There was I last week with 4 hours left to head to the airport to catch the 8 o'clock morning flight to Guangzhou. The toilet lock failed to move a tiny bit and I got stucked inside for about 40 minutes. At 3am in the morning, there's nobody that can help, and there's no way i have a mobile phone.

In the end, I had to depend on my instinctive mechanical knowledge with a comb and toothbrush (u cant fucking any tool inside, dont u?) to dismantle the lock.

I did succeed but now I'm really phobiac with toilets.

Pixtuar of me, myself and myself

2007-12-06T18:28:00.000+08:00

I know some of you miss my presence since I is away for so long.

A pix of me at the Waiotapu Geothermal Area's, Artists Palette or Champagne Pool. Sort of volcano crater. Or watsoever it is called in scientific term. Nah ... whateva.

It freaking took me a 6 hours drive to and fro along winding mountain roads to Rotorua. Sibeh kanasai. First stop was to Whakarewarewa. Initial intention was to Te Puia to watch the cum spitting ~~vagina~~ geyser close up. Thanks to all the wrong turn and bad map navigation (partly due to confusing map adverts), I ended up in Whakarewarewa. This place is not too bad, able to watch the geyser from far, that was not the objective. This place offers Maori dance and sing along, NZ$25 is just not worth it.

I ended up in this theme village for just 45 minutes. Made my way further down to Waiotapu. Here there is another erupting geyser which erupts daily about 10.15am. And i reached at1.30pm. Great ... Iceing on the cake, the Champagne Pool and other thermal cracks won't run away. Took tons of pixtuers. Entrance here is NZ$27.50.

Started my journey back to apartment around 4pm. What a day of experience with all the stench of rotten eggs. As if my project at NZ about waste stinks better.

sibeh yandao right .... ?

Pauanui Beach

2007-11-24T13:16:00.000+08:00

Having lots of opportunities to try out the new camera. Equip with this humble equipment I went to the local beach few times a week to check out the place. Apparently, from the people here I met, this beach has residents of less than 500 people. And of these 500 people, more than half don't stay here. These are just holiday homes for them where they come only during weekends or holidays. And they come in private jet or helicopters.

one fine sunny afternoon

Yaaa Daaah !

2007-11-04T16:20:00.000+08:00

Hotel stay in NZ is most convenient at those motels or motor lodge. They have a small kitchen attached, which I used to cook cheap meals. Some are one room type where they have kitchen and bedroom together, the one im staying is separated kitchen and bedroom. As below. However, i will be moving out tomorrow where I will stay at apartment sharing with my colleagues.

the bed has got heater ler, dont siau siau.

Renting a car is the cheapest and most convenient mode to travel around. This rented car is actually Latio as named in Sillypore and Bolehland, Versa as in US of Asshole. While driving the car, I feel like i can save the world. SAVE THE CHEERLEADER, SAVE THE WORLD. So everytime, i step out the car with my both arms up on sky i shouted Yaaa Daaah !

parked at the carpark near the beach. background houses are those of wealthy kiwi holiday makers. fiacking rich people.

this 1,800cc car is nice to ride. does it motivate u to buy, MR Tang Mafiaso ?

What meals all days?

2007-11-02T17:26:00.000+08:00

So ironic. My darling came back to sillypore but not to find me at the airport picking her up with flowers and hugs and kisses. Kanninah at NZ chor lan.

To save money, i resorted to self cooked meals. Eating out costs at least 15$ easily.
And internet with 56K dial up is expensive too. While waiting for email files download, had some time to bulogge. I shall present thee:

so ang moh right ?

added something more even angmoh, HASH BROWN ! the sausages taste like shits.

to remember that i still need to makan like a cina, i bought chili. the best i could find though. angmoh countries difficult to find chili.

while having dinner, the TV shows Deal or No Deal, NZ version. No chio bu. Ahhhhh ... reminds me of Andrea Fonseca.

thinking of darling while cooking. all chow tah liao ... knn!

today i tried something new to make the shit sausages taste better. added garlic and onion. Step by Step guide to Great Cooking .. No. 1

Once the sausages are cooked, garlics and onions turned gold ... add 2 eggs. Step by Step guide to Great Cooking .. No. 2

Once the egg smells extremely well and ready to eat, remove it from the pan. Happy eating! Step by Step guide to Great Cooking .. No. 3

Hmmm .... It still taste like shit !

Haiii Sian ...

2007-10-21T23:05:00.000+08:00

Why do we have to work? Why can't we just kanna ToTo then stay at home to shake legs and masturbate? Why when we work, we have to answer to big big boss, to boss, to customer, to consultant, to everybody? Why when we ask why, why nobody answer?

My workplace just sux big time. Loads of ~~cum~~ stacked on your mind when the moment you step into office you feel as if you are just cleaning yesterdays ~~cum~~ work? Sian ....

What else can you ask for:

and then when you complain to management about small laptop screen, they buy you a 22 inch ~~penis~~ flat panel

Minyak Beku revisited with Ah Teng

2007-09-12T13:38:00.000+08:00

Sometime back during the trip back to beepee, i having is the opportunity to visit Minyak Beku again to take some photos. This trip there was accompanied by Mafiaso aka Tang Chin Teng. Wielding his new FZ50, and my old 7Hi we attacked the beach. Reaching there early, we is detoured to Ferry Terminal to take a look. (photos, next post).

Minyak Beku is always a popular haunt for watever, anything reasons to go there. People go pray pray for safety and beh pio, fishermen go fishing for sharks and giant octopus, families go there to walk walk eat ice cream, couples go there to pak tor and kolom hot ais krim, we go there ~~pak chui cheng~~ ... err no ... take picture people ~~pak chui cheng~~ ...

Anyways, Anyways, Anyways ... lazy as usual ... now only i is survey the photos. Acceptance ratio is 10:1. rejects : accepts. Out of focus shots despite highest f-stop and terrible noises evident in low light. Kamera zoom ring already spoilt lioa. Dont know if this is the reason for the focusing. Sian ... Kamera dying of old age and mishandling. Hope my darling can sponsor me the rumoured Sony A900. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...

Singapore Football

2007-08-18T03:23:00.000+08:00

Chor bor and as a ardent football fan, i went to Woodlands stadium to watch their home game against geylang united fc. i supported them as a woodlander. i have to admit, yesterday wasn't my first visit to the stadium and wasn't my first time watching them play. the stadium was 40% filled up. supporters were quiet (as usual) and i would say 80% went there as neutral supported neither side. winning money is more important in their visit to the game. some uncles went in to read the chinese wan bao newspaper more than watching football. i sat with woodlands cheerleading group formed by small girls. anyway, their presence hardly felt in the stadium. even the visiting teams chanting 'Eagles' were better heard. ... woodlands wellington trailed 0-1 thanks to a dubious penalty decision.

as the whistle blew for half time, i went out to pick up ling2 to join me for the remainder of the match. bought a $5 adult ticket for her, but no one collected her ticket at the door and she entered for free. wasted my $5. kannina ...

we went to sit at the opposite side of the field made up of temporary stairs-shaped bench. i can hardly see (ogle) the young girls and i also can't hear them. am i in a stadium watching a national level footy or at my Sunday social league football game? the game started, at the same we started to get familiarised with the area. the noise decibel here was higher than compared to people at the 'grandstand'. the usual chants of referee kelong, kayu, etc. whether they know it or not, is kinda funny where mostly punters are seated here.

at the end of the match, Woodlands Wellington lost 0-2 to Geylang United in a sloppy match. this WW team is very poor compared to last year's. referee/linesman standard was also quite poor.

at the end of the day, i lost some moolah and got fined for parking without valid parking coupon.

my ticket which was torn at the edge when i went in first.

lingling's ticket unharmed.

R.I.P my Dragon Sabre

2007-07-06T14:10:00.000+08:00

My Sintec Professional 800 Tu Long Dao go up car liao ... After playing for less than a year with it, and kind of familiar with it's power and capabilities, we will have to part ways now. Perhaps leaving the sabre in the car boot for long period killed it. Or perhaps purchased from a cwee huey (water dealer) at a cheaper price without warranty is bound to have problem.

It seems last weekend's lost to Chin Teng and Jimmiang is due to the sabres inconsistent performance prior to breakage. Konon ....

I will need a new sabre now. Maybe Rain Day Sword Yu Tian Jian from Yonex (Armotec series) would be good. That would cost a bomb, i think.

great , it snapped !

At NZ again

2007-06-20T13:55:00.000+08:00

im at Auckland again. this time winter season. looking out my window is completely dark already, and it is 5.30 pm. it's 14 degC outside and in room is 21degC. Prolly at night will be 6degC again, just like when i reached last night.

as always, travelling from sillypore is not easy on a 10 hours flight and 4 hours timezone difference (6 hours when daylight saving). Took my flight [luckily quite empty] at 0845 in the morning means i have to wake up at 0600. reached NZ at 1030 local time means i have to sleep in another hours time. sibeh sian, but cant sleep. i was still awake this morning about 0400 (sg time 2400) then forced myself to wake up at 0800 then meeting at 0930 ... wah sibeh shagged. still, i cant sleep now ... insomnia liao ...

at such cold weather, i thought about our last visit to steamboat at china square vicinity. northern china style soup base and ingredients, it was quite tasty, served by PRC girls, and the overall experience was quite shiok. individuals have their own wok and jelly/gel, to burn fire. i didnt know that gel is flamable. buffet style, 1 person is about $24 ... eat slowly, can last longer ...

taken outside the shop...

basic sauces ... tastes like chili mixed with sesame, fish sauce, horse oil, taucu, garlic and onion.

nice pose!

which to choose ? ... eat slowly

Do you charity?

2007-06-12T18:34:00.001+08:00

Got this one fine afternoon. must be some punk kid damn sian kanna forced by teacher to collect donation. i feel i really hate this situation where poor lil students were urged by the school to carry around the milo kong around amenities to ask for alms. and i heard they have to top up the amount if not up to quota. how true is this i dont know ...

and then, there are others taking chances cheating innocent people's money in disguise as charity. certainly few people like this swindlers are called durai or ting wen hang ...

have you ever wondered when was the last time you did charity?

xin on the bonnet ...

Ride Home

2007-06-07T18:18:00.000+08:00

since I've acquired my ride, we have drove back to BP twice. gonna make it again next week. prolly a long distance trip some time soon. the ride has been quite comfortable, with sturdy balancing and all wheel drive handling. though the vehicle is low in horsepower, high torsion drive in CC and boxer nature engine makes it relative fast and smooth during overtaking of course high-speed cruising. traveling at about 150km/h felt really shiiiooook!

while i relax and cruise, ling took pix!

for long distance ride, i tiow kar!

and i is drank coke!

tired of me, she snapped herself!

and herself

Song Mee "Feel Good Noodles"

2007-06-03T18:54:00.000+08:00

been MIA for so bloody long that I've forgotten i had a bolog. thanks to recent promotion -> greater power comes with greater responsibility. time spent in office is obviously longer but, are the wages good enough for this shit? sometimes it just come across my mind that i cant take it anymore. the workload is too much, it just swamps in so u can breathe any more ... imagine yourself stucked in quick sand, the more you struggle, the more you get sucked in ... inaugurally celebration of 3 years loyalty, am i calling it quits? i dont know, im just getting sick of this. when the time comes where i cant take it anymore, booooom .... anyway, employees market now isnt it? dont run east, can still run west mah ... tio bor?

anyway, been too Nissin Cafe at Tanjong Pagar to meet my sweetie for lunch twice ... got to go again, possibly anytime soon. i hope.
Nissin Cafe that serves 'song mee' in Enggerish term is "feel good noodles" is very delicious. Smells good, tastes good, and the price is not expensive at all. Just the wait is a little long, if you're way back in the queue. -> Tan ka lu song!

There is normal song mee, just plain noodles with side dish and super song mee, which plain noodles cooked with fried egg and side dish. Super song or just song is song enough to make you ejaculate. The feeling is undescribable.

while waiting for food!

did i ponteng work?

my super song mee with fried chicken and her super song with fried pork

on my second visit, i got myself a song mee, with claypot beef stew ... fantastico

Happy the Puppy

2007-04-20T12:54:00.000+08:00

happy the puppy is a mix of german shepherd and collie. given by my uncle, happy is 3 months old and weighs about 8kg. dont ask me why named it happy. (kind of cina name, and kind of lame though) the name was given by dad. we'll just stick it to happey then ... anywayz, my dad is the one who takes care of the puppy, showers it, and scoops its poo-poo.

happy is just so damn cute. perhaps first time puppy owner. ;D

whoof !

i want to fly

though salary may be low (market comparison) for this job of mine, one good thing about this is i get to travel to some places where i dont even need to fork out the air tix, but the catch is, i is there not with holiday mood - supposingly... i is always in holiday mood after all ;D ... other than paying for your own food all are covered with daily allowance some more.

last trip's Raffles class flight to NZ earned me my promotion from normal Kris to Silver Kris ... i is elite now u know? officially i have a free tix on SQ to Phuket liao. I is going to earn more points. Who knows, i may be able to redeem my flight to Old Trafford. :p

if only this can be used like credit card ...

Close Encounter with Earthquake

2006-12-28T21:57:00.000+08:00

Boxing day flight to Taiwan. (as if i celebrate boxing day anyway!)

Reached Kaohsiung at 10 pm. The moment i touched down and switched on the phone, i received a call from darling. And it seems loads of caring people called and concern. Kudos and thanks you my friends who don't call. Apparently, a chain earthquake happened while I was floating mid air doing Air Jordan. The tremors shook some kilometers from Kaohsiung, near enuff for the people here to be doing oh-macarena. Then the customer picked me up and drove to Tainan. For him, earthquakes are as though munching biscuit. My parents are worried like crazy .. Hahahah ...

Then is i went to site the next day to begin troubleshooting. Job done in 2 days, 1 day spent trying to call back Sg for assistance. Communications network seemed to be down. Yes, affirmative. Thought privileged roaming SIM card of mine can grab any network, i was wrong. The news reported submerged cables in the sea was damaged and requires about 3 weeks to fix them.

Luckily the hotel I stayed provides FREE internet. Broadband somemore. So shiok, at least i can blog and msn. Better than Sg where internet also cant get in ... Mention again, FREE ! Hotels in Msia, learn! The word is FREE. Broadband is FREE! Not your charged dial ups! You sucks! Porno also free on cable ...

it's SGD1.75. Gold Medal somemore

takeaway food from site. free. save money mah. then cant drink more.

this is on cable. i wasnt watching

Merry Christmas Everybody

2006-12-25T17:10:00.000+08:00

2006 going to end liao, we welcome 2007 as a better year ahead.

Last weekend is my relatives from Furong Shao Bao (Seremban) came to visit Sillypore. With much expectations about Xmas lightings, decorations, etc. As expected, to their disappointment, the decorations sux. However they must rejoiced that their shopping and holiday trip turned into Glutton-sbury trip.

Firstly, on Sat when they reached. I brought them to Korean delights. We had BBQ pork and chicken, Kimchi and some other good stuff. Forgotten about taking pictures.

The next day we had Boon Tiong Kee Chickee Lice and Pu Tien at Kitchener Road. Pu Tien Yin Hua is a small town of native Fu Jian in China. I don't know much about it, but these particualr people came over to introduce pu tien hokkien food. Being a hokkien, many of the dishes is i havent trying before.

After dinner is thinking about walking along Orchard Road since it is Xmas day, upon reaching there, saw the crowd i U-turned back. Knn what the hell is so fun there?

the Pu Tien dishes

we must've seen this cold prok in TV. Very the niiiceee

Wo Men Kuo Nei Yang Yang You

2006-12-18T13:54:00.000+08:00

Last week we is went to Ding Tai Feng restaurant, authentic Korean restaurant, Ajisen Ramen, Canadian Pizza before i went completely broke and broken.
May u already not know, Din Tai Feng serves some very good Xiao Long Bao ... The small soupy buns come in basket of 10. Very the nice, you must trusting me. You must try if you dont, mata will catch u hor! Anyway, disrupting our sumptous meal is this PRC man with fiends of 4. He is so damn not cool. When the waitress came to take his order, with some kind ~~breast~~ heart, asked him if he has any Citibank CCard where he can enjoy offer for dessert. The PRC man immediately so damn got Milo style take out his wallet and throw all the cards on the table. "Lim peh braady simi lancau card also have" (not so jialat lah, he spoke in typical Cinnamon accent) You can see how snobbish he looked like. His friends looked in awe. Among the cards i saw some CCard from various banks and MRT card, Cash card, pay phone card ---> but not Citibank. LOL ... Man, this guy is too braady hao lian liao.

Not all PRC are like that lar. We have lots of nice and humble folks as well. Kudos guys.

Then next day we is went to Korean food at Tanjong Pagar Road. The food is good, price also not to expensive, but variety is not a lot. We also dont sit on the floor to dine. Had some really nice Kimchi ooooh ... Next time going for the BBQ ... Ham Sah Ha Mi Da!

On Friday, we is went to Bishan for ramen. Well, not really fantastico ramen like those tip-top sakura restaurants but, that Ajisen is affordable and i can say, i is like. Saturday, pizza day. 2 4 1 pizza delivery. Simple and hassle free. Pick up your phone, call, order, take a shower, sit on the bed, and wait for the person to arrive.

Here comes the misery at the end of this gluttinous week. My motor is kaputt again. This time, fork service=100, battery change=90, front tyre change=90, meter repair=140, oil change=44, brake pad change=25, water pump repair=110, carburator needle change=20, some other changes, 21 --> total damage =640. Motor is still not repaired. Still pending for engine overhaul. Estimated damage, another 300 at least.

Before i get so shiong, i managed to enjoy myself. At least, i is rike. Year end bonus is ringing.

i is rike korean food

Brisbane

2006-11-29T16:41:00.000+08:00

Today is busy as usual. Busy also can find time to post right?

When in Brisbane, the customer said Aussieland is in need of skilled/echnical people. If you have the pre-requisite, you are almost guaranteed an entry. There it prompted me to think, as a Msian Chinese that have the same IC like the others being treated as 2nd class citizen, why dont I just go over to Kangaroo land and be their 2nd class citizen. Even if I dont work, i get welfare $. Where else in SEA can you get that?

Im not going to say what system what quota what policy that made the segregation. Something is just wrong with it. So called multi-racial nation. Are we really walking the talk? And, where has our money gone? The Korean colleague I met, once told me, 40 years ago Msia was 3 times richer than them. How about now? -> They are 3 times richer than us. What about saying, WE ARE 3 TIMES POORER THAN THEM NOW ...

Is our money really in good hands? Will we be better of with different chiefs? Will there be only 1 class citizen when everybody have enough to spend? Also read an article by PAD secretary recently, "Instead of promoting transparency, we promote corruption. Instead of merit, we have quotas. Instead of technical "know-how" we have political 'know-who'."

Nah .. forget about that, Im already a citizen halfway 1.5 class in Sillypore.

Lantern Festival

2006-09-29T20:43:00.000+08:00

Today is a company event of lantern festival and bbq day. We had our last minute preparation done to perfection but not to the extend to win anything. Sigh ... When ours came out, people were already singing praises and dejected looks on other departments as if they are sure to lose, and ours sure to win. But negative ... Even the judge sighed to huge surprise on her look as if this was the first time she saw a krytonite falls to earth. With much praises here and there, we still did not win the 1st prize of 150$ Swensens voucher, neither the 100$. Huge disappointment to our department tho ... That's on everybody's eyes. The judge's criteria is primaryly based on traditional lantern.

Made up of eggs case, LED light, foamed sponge, and glow stick. Ours stood up as the night grows darker. No prize for this, but we have 2 dozen eggs for breakfast, etc.

The winning lantern goes the workshop where it resembles a funeral lantern. And most people who dont dare to comment too much called it a "liao zhai" lantern. On the right is hongbao lantern from accounts. As much as the department suggests, it costs 1 dollar plus only. Out of the 20$ budget, they are truly "Cents for Cents".

2nd placed lantern is this. From aftersales and bird machines. Simple and straight forward. Nothing to comment about.

Forgot to take picture lantern from sales department. It looks like a Ikea table lamp anyway.

Batu-to

2006-09-15T13:11:00.000+08:00

Having watched some very many of anime recently, i realised i have completed Samurai X, Fate/Stay Night, Noein, ongoing Bleach, Blood+, Naruto and some etc.

Completed the Naruto's save Sasuke Arc, came to realise we to have some folks at home (Hidden Village of Penggaram), so similar to them. I call our friends and buddies at home, Batu-To.

A0: Shizune - Is someone I havent met. So caring, so smart as a medical student, cute face (aiyah she not so bad la), and good bed* skills too

A1: Shino Aburame - Can't think of anybody who has bugs on him except Jeffiang. His Hong Kong foot and running nose is powahhh to the max. Bed* skill OK only.

A2: Shikamaru Nara - Other than Chuan Wei who else? This bloody slacker, is so slack that he can't even not slack. Slacker as he is, our Chunin Chuan Wei/Indogge is a master planner too. <- Mahjong/Chor Dai Dee? Bed* skill not very good, but strategy very ooomph.

A3: Sasuke Uchiha - A person who from good turn to evil. But we don't know much about this yet. How evil can he get? We have Saidinia at Batu. Secondary school mate, who from nothing boasted to be Spore's ex-president's whatsoever grand-grand-grandson. Also who from a close friend dinstanced himself from our group to join some other groups. Perhaps the attraction of greater power is too much to resist. Bed* skill very good.

B0: Orochimaru - Naruto's villain, Orochimaru transform to a snake anywhere anytime. In Batu, who else resembles a snake more than our well-known fiend, LBL? His adventures are well-known. Only difference of Orochimaru and infamous LBL is, the former likes bloodline-limit containers while the latter likes girls and money. Bed* skill very good.

B1: Naruto - Can't think of a character for Liang Wee Lee. Let him be the main cast of Batuto lor. Just like, Naruto who is well loved among readers and anime viewers. Bed* skill very good.

B2: Zabuza Momochi - Super poser villain who appeared early in the show and killed by 3 rookie ninja and a junin. Abilities not so sure and this character belongs to Y Sw Hwee. Being irritating ass he is, big mouth and beaten everywhere he goes, he sure fits this character tat dies early. Bed* skill not good.

B3: Might Guy - Person who always tried to gain attention with silly attics. Alvin S Tn Sn Kwong is just like that. Being power mad "gila kuasa" guy. He is so uncool. Other than boasting and curry favoring teachers, i wonder what else he can do better. Bed* skill unjustified.

C0: Jiraiya - Macam like our senoir Edder. Respectable wise man. He is selfbrewing beer now. Bed* skill very good.

C1: Hinata Hyuga - Like my darling when i first met her. Shy shy only ... :D Bed* skill OK only.

C2: Sakura Haruno - Maybe she is Li Xia (the spectacles shop girl-next-door) in anime. Likes me but we never get into a relationship. <--- I assume only lar ... Maybe is i rike her but she doesnt rike me ler? Bed* skill not good.

C3: Gaara - Spoilt ass Jim. I still suspect he is a beast. Abundance of sand in the gourd, is like Jim's abundance of ----y? Bed* skill very good.

D0: Choji Akimichi - Brudder Boo. What else? See his photo. Bed* skill OK only.

D1: Kakashi Hatake - I want to be him. Mysterious and maybe ... yentao? He also reads erotic stories ... Hahahah .... Bed* skill good.

D2: Rock Lee - This person works very freaking hard. Who else do his/her own hand wash of laundry nowadays? Who is the smartest student among us? Who else bought a nice house in KL? The pain of Rock Lee is broke his arm and leg during chunin exams. The pain of Ah Teng is, when he was swindled 10 dragons. Bed* skill OK to good.

D3: Tsunade - Any Batu girl who is pretty and big breasts is the 5th Hokage, Tsunade ... the Tua Neh Por. Bed* skill good.

Small pixture: Kabuto Yakushi - This guy is an arsehole in the arsehole of a hen whose fucked up life made other people fucked up as well. Dressed smart and "konon" trustworthy. In fact, he is a hyena! So good in disguise just like Kabuto. So evil that he swindles the so-called buddies money and trust. So fucked up nobody wants to mention his name anymore. He will be remember as a CONMAN all his life.

bed* skills in this article refers to Ninja skills

Wubai and Zhang Zheng Yue's concert was very entertaining. 80$ well spent on the tix. Zhang was a bit on the cold side, however newspaper wrote the suicide ex-gf did affected his performance. Anyway, MC Hotdog and Wubai did very well to bring up the atmosphere.

Before the start of concert. Full house after that.

Negara-Ku-ku-Ku

2006-08-31T16:12:00.000+08:00

Today is my home country's Independence Day. I'm at neighbor country slogging. Today is a working day. My heart says, why is my boss not granting us a day's leave? I should be celebrating independence with my friends and folks, with flags in hand and marching towards City assembly area to show our patriotism and appreciation towards a nation.

If that's the case, why did I leave home at the 1st place, since i love it so much? Details not to mention, but there are some reasons why to chose to abandon ship. (But, i will be back - Asta la Vista!) *speaking with Terminator tone*

I have so much to miss back home. My folks, my sisters and bros ... My fiends friends, my room, my bath tub, my pillow, my old flame, my dog*, my grasshopper model, my badminton, my etc. So easy and carefree. All the good food ...

Today is also start of Comex (Computer Expo). So called exhibition, where vendors show their new products and selling at promotional prices. To me, it's just pasar malam in big hall disguise. Not-so-trained sales reps selling they-dont- know-how products. Hokkien called it Pua Tang Sai (half bucket shit).

Doesn't matter to me anyway. Going there with a aim, which is to hoot this EPSON Stylus Photo RX630 and goggling at mei mei(s). 6 individual ink catridges with film scanning ability. Price $328. The lowest in range i can afford.

Such uneventful day today. Woke up late and tired, also not feeling well and raining heavily. Called my kolleague took 0.5 day off. After lunch on my way to work, weather swee swee until i is 3 km away from workplace. Rain came down macam like Niagara Falls. Drenched, i requested for a full day leave to go home. Sad to say also work la. Im a busy man. Reaching home, 54 steps away, stomach felt very uneasy. Ran up the stairs 3 steps make 1 step with my 瞬歩 shunpo made it in time to lao sai.

Wooooh. That's it. In the end, it's not a working day on Independence Day.

--> dog* Haven't have one. Intending to get one.

Chakra

2006-08-30T13:07:00.000+08:00

I've always thought the term chakra is fiction where is a term derived from Naruto, where the shinobis do various *jutsu*, perform magic and combats. It seems my shallow general knowledge is evident. Took the pain to understand more from Wikipedia and dictionary.com:

chak‧ra [chuhk-ruh]
-points of spiritual power located along the body, usually given as six in number. The points are personified by gods and can be released through the proper exercises.

-In Hinduism and in some related Asian cultures, a chakra is thought to be a nexus of metaphysical and/or biophysical energy residing in the human body.

Meaning, if i can finish reading, researching and constant practise, perhaps i can also do Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, 影分身の術 !

Bohemia, Not Again!

2006-08-16T18:36:00.000+08:00

There is this fucker who stay at the same house as mine and uses the same toilet, if you can remember somehow. He striked again. Worst than a freaking flasher, he is just plain arse. If you think black heads coming out from your face is disgusting, the sight of him is worst. I can't look at him at his eyes, not that there is any feud between us, no ... i just can't. Jim agree?

Let's name him Bohemia. Bohemia is one kind of people who has super good memory where Gary Kasparov the chess player has cold sweat compared with. Above this, his actions are his supernatural power. Man of steel is superman. Man of disgust is Bohemia.

Long ago said, one man urgent for quick release of body water rushed to the toilet shut the door ... No, half way to the toilet, he was already feeling uneasy. This uneasiness had some kind of blood rushing thru his brain, killing of some cells. Anyway, back to story, shut the door, unzip ... pee. There it was, Bohemia's legacy. Lumps and chumps of unflushed sai. The man tahan his breath, with one final push, pang all his jio, FLUSHED, washed his hand then went out. Grasping his breath for oxygen ... the man realised more of his brain cells died. Suffering from trauma then man crawl his way to safety. That was close call. Another victory for Bohemia.

I can't imagine if this is a game, or is it plain memory loss? Or Bohemia's fucking habits that he is killing the atmosphere?

1) Unzip, open lid, pangsai, flush, zip, close lid
2) Open lid, unzip, pangsai, zip, close lid, flush
3) Unzip, open lid, pangsai, close lid, flush, zip
4) None of the above.

Obviously, 4 is Bohemia's answer.

What a great day, this pix got rejected. Reason: Shallow DOF. I tot this is nice shot. Damn.

Calory burning weekend

2006-08-14T10:35:00.000+08:00

Started with badminton on Saturday evening where 3 of us played only. Thanks to a topless shinigami with his pink colored grip zenpakotou who joined us for 2 sets of doubles games. Otherwise we, (only me) will be dead in hospital due to dehydration and fatigue. CB, got to give up and hand over the game during singles match with Jim (and I was leading 6-5) KNN.

I cant mold my chakra regularly anymore. Even had problem (huge problem) climbing the 450m above sea level hill on Sunday. Half way thru my legs are already trembling like agar-agar. Hmmm, maybe lugging along my camera to climb this stupid hill wasted a lot of energy. Macam like real ;D

Perhaps my absolute gain in weight over the years did contribute to my obese factor. Meals have always been moderate and regular (except some occassional binge). My weight just can't go down. Minimise input > maximise output. Yes, but i havent been exercising. My, oh my ... Got to start to wake up early to jog. Sibeh tu lan.

Calory burning program didnt help much anyway. After hiking breakfast was lontong x1, mee goreng x1, teh-o x2, dinner rice x2, and supper otah x14.

I is at the highest point of Hutan Lipur taking this shot. Convert to Blair Witch Project.

This is Chin Teng and he doesn't look comfortable climbing up too. What an agonising look.

And this is Jimmy whose chakra wasnt anything better than us during schooling days ... no doubt he is better now.

BOOST MY EGO

2006-08-10T17:26:00.000+08:00

I is watching the TV and saw the commercial showing some under the sun guys and gals (not handsome nor pretty) advertising the below chocolate. Energy supplement it says. Get extra boost in whateva u is doing. Problem romanticing to get laid? Worry not anymore. You have Cadbury Boost!

Shut the crap up anyway. Back to the tv commercial that really caught my eyes, so much I had them in the back of my head. To remind you, not that the ladies inside are pretty and, seriously not. I tot I is someone with bad glammers already. Didn't know got people worse than I. LOL ... A Engaland teacher i is ... HoHOHo ....

The char bor said "My friend is the best, hahaha, but this chocolate is better, huhuhuh"

I also laughed ... Heehaaheehaa ... good (comparative"better", superlative"best") ?

No pun intended .. huh huh huh ...

Celebration

2006-08-02T12:14:00.000+08:00

OK ... This is late.

YEAH ! ITALY WON THE WORLD CUP 2006 ! And i is officially 55$ richer from betting sgpools 1:11. Heheh ... Anyway, dont ask me to spend u any dinner etc, the winnings gone into my stomach and pangsai already.

Captured below rare guest at my garden last last weekend. My dad's been looking after the garden really well. Since retired, the garden seems like his everyday job, mundanely and un-pontengly punctual schedule.

0630 - Go practise Qi Gong Xin Fa and Jiu Yang Sheng Gong, heard it's at level 8 now.
0800 - Breakfast
0900 - Gardening, admiring flowers.
1030 - Drive car go around do home administration work (he was admin manager last time anyway). ***
1200 - Lunch
0100 - Watch news (old folks love reading news and get to know the world)
0130 - Rest/Nap
0500 - Gardening, put fertilisers at vege, water the plants, plant new plants, unrooting unwanted weeds.
0700 - Dinner
0800 and so on - Watch TV, temple, gathering info about Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi upon completing Jiu Yang Sheng Gong, and some other things

*** This ITINERARY may also include shopping of new plants! ***

After experiencing and stubbornly held on to very own belief that add-on filters like +4 or +8 filters can capture macro as well, i came to realise that to get good macro world photos, go get good lens and good adaptors. Those $10+ won't do the job, unless u are bo-chap about your photography qualities. As below, using minolta lens macro mode without add-on filters. Previously with add-on, i get Chromatic Abbrevations, or wateva it's called ... and it sux.

Mr Grasshopper stayed there patiently and posed as it were model of the day. Indeed he was!

Forza Azzurri

2006-07-05T11:23:00.000+08:00

Mood: Very joyous. Listening to Michael Buble & Nelly Furtado - Quando, Quando, Quando

Auf Wiedersehen Deutschland ! Sad sad sad to lose 0-2 to Italiano at 118 minutes. This is it, Italian masterclass in all over the field. Dominance in possession and creating more chances than Germany. Cannavaro's defence as good as ever! Germany never look like scoring. 2 minutes left running the clock, I wonder, will they go into penalties. Germany have never lost in shootouts while, Italy lost in all shootouts. Then came a corner, Grosso took his chance and scored. The professor del Piero added the second goal in less than a minute.
My waking up at 3 am to watch the match didn't go to waste. Happy to see the team I supported since childhood (minus the 4 years Trappatoni was in-charge), qualify for the final game, again.
Tell me, Quando Quando Quando ... willl Italiano lift the Golden Grail again.
If they do, Im gonna name my son Fabio ! Heheh !

From: www.fifaworldcup.com
Idol and captain, Fabio Cannavaro with del Piero jubilant !

Been busy day in day out resulted in non-updating of this bolog.

As you might be aware War Cup is on right now where 16 teams battle it out in the 2nd round. With my 250 dollars hope of Czech Republic wiped out, i is be banking my hope on Forza Azzuris now ... for $110 richer, i pray for Roman victory.

Koreans played some hardworking football, like us Asians, pay less work more. They ran their socks out, just to find themselves defeated by bigger size Europeans. No ... I dont agree. Ang Mohs no longer make a meal out of us anymore, I feel, they are kinda shrinking in size, whereas some Asians are growing bigger. Take Yao Ming for example, he's huge. Back to football-Koreans, our last Asian pride, with 4 points, beating Togo and helding mighty Les Blues for a draw could have done better against Swizz Army. FMHPOV, the disaster is having a coach who is tacticaly weak. You may have qualified the team for WC Finals, but when play against the big guns, good players are only a part of it. You need to have tactics and counter tactics! England's coach Sony Erikson is one good example of how shitty his tactical knowledge. If you is liked football long enough, you'd understand.

Went to Korea for 2 days business paid holiday trip. Midnight flight @ 12am-cant sleep-7am-to site-didnt sleep-9pm-back to hotel-slept-4am-world cup-slept-9am-actitivities. That completes my sleep for <>

Had good sumptous meals. Kimchi, hot stone pork rice, swell fish (yes, it is poisonous), cold noodles (not japanese type), pork sausage (ancient poor Koreans eat wan, noodles wrapped with pork skin), traditional rice wine (very strong, 26% ACL), and so on la ...

Also not forgetting ... Korean colleague Tommy Kim has been a good host, and here, i thank you very much for hospitality.

Tommy treated me to this Korean pork BBQ, cold noodles and traditional rice wine.

See? We are sitting one the floor !

One of the shopping places. No time, and don't feel like walking.

Was in Thailand last weekend. Place some people call it Hat Yai, some call it Hap Chai, some call it Haadyai, some call it He Yai. It is sort of like Chinese community in a foreign country. Everybody speaks mandarin or teochew, good or bad. They can communicate well. Even the sign boards are with chinese words. So chimm that i can't even read. Rumors said: lots of chinese men from malais and sillypore came to spread their sperms since generations ago. True lah ...

Quite a nice place actually. With some pretty little guys, and also ah guas (look below). Gosh, the she-man can make lots of gals cry with envy. Not to say that thai girls are not pretty. Abundance of young gals on the streets(homes also lah) and they are cute! But man, i feel like i'm a man again. Someone bring me some Eye-mo to rinse my eyes.

The place is so much developed nowadays. Unlike, the 3 streets only description my mum offered when she last went for holiday 30 years ago. It's like JB to my surprise. Only better with more lor pi tua and temples with good scenery. Especially the newly built Standing Buddha at (as if i know where!). From there, it's linked to famous 4 faced buddha and quan yin miao.

Activities in Hat Yai includes; watch ah gua show, communist mountain tunnel, traditional bone breaking thai massage (omigosh: 2 hrs-rm23 only!), temple praying, phototaking, sleeping in a famous Novotel hotel in the middle of the city (omigosh:rm120/night only!), mai don xi chi dong xi, you ... mai don xi chi dong xi; gluttoning swensons (omigosh:rm6-3 scoops in a cup), sharks fin, bird's nest, tom yams, etc etc.

Wish lists includes: watching famous tiger shows, girls in fish tanks, somemore massagings, etc etc.

Wiki know more about the place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_Yai

Heheh ... bought a new phone ... 1.3 megapexi (so-called by my kolleague). Still exploring the functions. Hmmm ... so sua ku with all these functions. Didnt know any shit about GPRS, 3G, etc. I thought it's something where the ships use on water know know their positions. So paiseh ... Luckily .. Singtel helpdesk people (Gooi) was very friendly and helpful. Explained all the shits, now i know what i need to know. So what is the speed of Infrared and Bluetooth? What about WAP and GPRS? I know, but, im not going to tell you. ;D

taken with the 1.3 Megapexi ... lol ...

Langgar

2005-12-08T19:01:00.000+08:00

Been hectic 2 weeks. Went to KL met up with customers and liang wee lee, and mafiaso. Then this week went to Indonesia for servicing.

On the way back from KL drove along NS Highway, dozed off, langgar the road divider. Became a big hoohah in the office now. Driver fatigue langgar. Should we let hime drive again? Heck do I care. I dont mind taking planes. Driving in KL isnt anything to be envy of, not to mention the jams and hostile fellow motorists.

Then this week while entry to Indon without v-i-s-a, the officer made trouble with me. Argue here argue there, I gave up. No point going on. Shove the money to the arsehole, shut up you mothafucka ! There goes my RP200,000 as kopi lui. Cibai, lim peh jia gu li gang also mah... Why make things difficult?

Going to be hectic weeks ahead. Rushing works to be done to impress year end financial report. Having lost about SGD50,000+, got to work harder to make myself worth again for bonus. Work sux!

Not too much damage. Repair about SGD700+.

also not too much damage. Door cannot fully close.

ICQ

2005-09-27T11:00:00.000+08:00

ICQ known to many as a form of communication thru intornet for so long already. I have more than 50 contacts in it but, as time passed many seems to have other commitments that i dont really see them online any more. So do i. Having deprived of much comfortable broadband compared to 56k dial-up which i dont even bother to connect.

Many (long time ago) also said ICQ have some kind of worm/bug so, i guess the best idea is to remove I-SEEK-YOU from my system. Just make use MSN that comes[compulsory, unremovable] with windows. Some close friends have my id anyway. So what is the advantage of ICQ now, other than free SMS (nah...restricted to singtel numbers only) ?

Standard Photo Sux

2005-08-11T15:00:00.000+08:00

tried Standard Photo at woodlands for the first time. location as one big factor so i dont have to travel too far for photo developing. and outcome is as bad as you can imagine.

price is so shit ass expensive, paid $47 for 2 rolls of B&W and 1 provia.
noise and dust as bad as current haze in kl.
took longer time than usual. waited for 1 week for them to call me (as they said so) but they never did. i called them.
scanned with low definition/resolution/wateva-u-call-it

now i dont trust just any of these "big" photo "company" branches anymore. got to stick with the old man at bt batok, send by post to kex at bedok or even favor from au senor, bro ed.

also, my yashica almost confirm ki chia liao ... all 3 rolls got overlappings. anyway, to present the 2nd installment of operasi bukit tinggi uno stacko forfeit cctv footage www.ryweb.net/blog/replace_here_with_our_postal_code/jimmy.avi

face, body or brain

2005-08-03T13:00:00.000+08:00

i is woke up late today, shampooed my hair, pangsai-ed, perfumed, walked slowly to my Italian-made vehicle*, plugged in entertainment system. then after sped all the way to work, as usual ... sai lao ka lai che jam ban!

anyway, entertainment system tuned to Class 95 FM morning talk/show/madness wateva. the ongoing discussion talked about face, body or brain? do u look at the face or body when u look for a partner in ~~crime~~, work, ~~bed~~, life? or wat u care is only the brain? or all three of them? humans are greedy arent we?

one caller called in, giving the best answer, i reckon. she goes, 'if someone who has the look and body, and knows how to manipulate the gifts, dont he/she has the brain too?'

what i feel is, if u have any of this, its good enough to achieve something. if u dont have any of these, treat it as a challenge to make u stronger. different from others.

wedding photography

2005-07-27T17:00:00.000+08:00

u may think that wedding photography is easy to take, u is wrong. so many ah ter, ah niao and ah kao take pitchers during wedding day. but, how to make the ones u take stand out among the rest? and interesting moments usually happen split second not allowing u time to adjust the settings on your camera. and it never happen twice. when we talk about moments, yes, 'Moments' in photography, means there is no NG.

the pix i took for friend with digital camera for his wedding sux big time. first of all, i may be biased against digital. secondly, high-end digi camera is still too expensive. having said this, my digicam sux. lastly, my photography sux lagi big time.

still manage to find some nice shots (rated by ry) taken with old rangefinder, scanned by Edder. Kudos to au senor! Man ... i just love black and white.

Alien in Mars

2005-07-20T18:16:00.000+08:00

Stupid Americans did it.

The US space agency believes the two rover spacecraft scuttling across the red planet are carrying bacteria from Earth.

NASA's projects are in big trouble now, because this is the first time that there is live on a different planet than Earth. And now it will get a lot harder to find 'alien live' on Mars because this will change the environment of Mars very fast.Scientists say this now doesn't look like a big problem, but the thing is that we 'created' live on a planet which wil evolve over time and we'll be having completely new organisms on Mars within the next 100 years.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

2005-06-16T11:30:00.000+08:00

err .. wrong header. it's breakfast at mcdonalds. having slept at 4.30 last nite, woke up at 8.30 in the morning, im really feeling fucked up. thanks to our glorious landlady and her bitter sour symphony.

showered, changed, grabbed my "tripple 5" notebook, i came to mcdonald's for breakfast and wi-fi. and yes, im surfing at mc-d, just like any yuppies, studdies, and chickies. anyway, the connection is slow. at least, better than using dial-up at home isnt it?

for the first time, in the week, i feel so productive. replying 5 emails for my work, while on leave for no apparent reason, with some really powerful questions and answers. man ... my boss will love me for this. looking at a poster opposite my table right now, a guy looking at a bubble above his head, thinking of cheeseburger, hmmm ... me too, looking at my bubble, thinking of increment end of the year. - konon ...

went bar-none last nite with dearest and her friends. well, they danced with the music, lost in transitions poor-o-me not dancing but drinking. about 6 bottles of hoegaarden and 2 glasses of black lable. a bucket of 5 bottles for $40. well, enjoyed the nite tho. they seemed like nice gals. did i said gals? JPS wants to know them?

blog
Part of Speech:
noun

an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog, Web log

Etymology:
shortened form of Weblog

simply it says blog is recorder of event. windows have event logs that generates itself. why not us, human? no we have to key in manually. but humans, we can choose what to record, what not.

im not myself for the past few days. my mind just cant concentrate. perhaps bad diarrhea and poor appetite does affect a little. no. i dont think so, seriously not. what else? i don't know. U2's songs keeps swimming in my mind. been listening to it for the past 2 weeks to ease my trauma of waiting for loved ones. now the song is sort of killing me softly. and the best is both songs keeps mixing up with each other blending into one single song! been drinking lots of mogwais, slowdives, explosions in the skys can make me forget U2. im crazy i know. am i possessed? im just a little bit sober...

and great, just when im inputting this something great happened. yeah, i went to the pantry intending to get myself two pcs of crackers but i opened the fridge looking at nothing. the crackers are 2mtrs away from the fridge. thank god. i got my crackers in the end.

i'd applied for leave tomorrow. perhaps that will refresh myself. find a quiet place (my room), badly needed serenity to recharge my wandering brain cells. and then comes the argument, think with your heart, not your head. so, is something wrong with my head, my heart, or even my dick? pms? i shall check if i see blood coming out from dickhead crack.

money shouldn't be any issue as of now. first time im my working career that i can feel surplus in check book. ive been into extreme patch of double S eleven drought before, where only porridge and pork sauce is dinner, what else, can be so awkwardly wrong?

or is it, being a meticulous person who keeps looking ahead building blocks of walkway seen too much or thought too much i shouldn't have. always been telling people to look 300mtrs ahead while driving, plan for your next move, proving too much for me now, tender age of 27?

while i continue my journey searching for life, this weekend's back to kampung will make me better. - i reckon.

let's cheer up everybody. may this gore u a little. thanks for reading my BOLOG!

2005-06-14T16:10:00.000+08:00

I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there…
To hear the things you haven’t said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone
And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit…
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time… will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love…
Where are we now?
I’ve got to let you know
A house still doesn’t make a home
Don’t leave me here alone...
God I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It’s whispering
In science and in medicine
“I was a stranger You took me in”
And it’s you when
I look in the mirror
And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes you can’t make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

just how boring can life be when i is adult. gone were the days i go to school, ponteng, then lunch, then go home, then nap, then play football, then dinner, then watch tv, then mamak yum cha, then online, then sleep .. recycle the next day. it's so different nowadays, sleep a little bit later feel so tired, body aching all over. got to work earn money ... buy a house, car, fuzzy logic washing machine, tray insert compact disc player, latest in fashion giordano jeans, feast in glamorous city area restaurant ... etc. this is life ... work work ...

office granted a official half day off for everybody, says factory inspection by some authorities. who cares? matters most is i get another night sleep at beepee. to think aout it, hmmm ... the char siew bao .. sibeh cjat! i is finished another book during the weekend. "Rule of Four" story is not the bad, but kinda draggy with lots of unnecessary information. the real interesting part came half way thru, and the thrillers, riddles, conspiracy and such came only during the last quarter. overall, not a bad read after all.

alas, will be back to boring hdb life again for 2 weekends. got to live with dirty jamban and a-l-a mozart in the morning and late evening. only consolation is - "lim peh eh siao eh this weekend teng lai liao!"

girls trying to eye me can drop the idea, i'm not leaving at this block. one clue though ... i'm from woodlands. ;P
