Birthday Wish

MEMO

Today.. is her birthday.. over the years, I would not have missed to wish her Happy Birthday, at least by sms.. but this year, I already donno whether I should or should not.. while I am doubtful and thinking about this this, time flies and soon the day will be over..

I didn send any wish, doesn’t mean I have forgotten this day.. just that.. .. .. we are no longer the same as we used to be.. people change.. situations change.. but I haven’t change and my feelings are still the same.. and probably will be.. for a long time to come..

Maybe one day.. Maybe some day.. Hopefully there will be a day.. I can again be the person to wish you happy birthday.. not as a fren.. but as “more than a fren”..

But in the mean time, we shall move on.. To meet new people, to see new things, to find the new “me”, to fulfill the next step in our life..

Finally HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! You were once the most precious one, in my heart..

-Allen-

Lost my thumbdrives, not 1 but 2

Today I went for a course in MMC Kuching.

Everything was going well.. at about 10am it was tea break, so we all went for tea at a cafeteria..

After I came back to class.. at first I didn notice anything.. some time after that, when I thought of getting my water bottle, eh? where's my bag? I looked for it here and there.. no where to be seen!

After class I told my lecturer, and got everyone to help me to look for it, cannot find it too.. what the!! Was it stolen by someone?? I remembered I brought my PDA with me, and I took it out to use when I was in the lobby. Maybe at that time ppl saw me doing so and targeted me? Was it my enemy? Why I say that? Because there are tonnes of other bags in the room!!!! THERE'S EVEN 2 LAPTOP IN FRONT OF THE CLASS THERE.. WHY DIDNT THAT DUDE TAKE IT INSTEAD OF MY BAG?????????

Inside my bag, if I recall correctly, was my water bottle (give you la), my notepad (quite new, give you la..), and two thumbdrives (if you so want it, give you la).. But the things inside the thumbdrive, GIVE ME BACK!!!!!

One thumbdrive contains all the files I collected since I started working.. I don't know whether is there anything inside that is considered confidential.. maybe got maybe not.. But what can I do now? Make police report? For only 2 thumbdrives? I don't even know when and where and who took it.. If they really use the files for bad purposes.. HOW?????

The other thumbdrive lagi kek sim.. every thing from my study.. my notes, my assigns, my projects.. luckily now new sem.. if not? how I pass up my assign??????

As I said earlier, if you want the thumbdrive, I give you. But the files pls delete or return to me..

But really.. These thiefs.. I got only one phrase for you: "Hope you rot in Hell!!!!!!!!"


Lesson of the day: Don't bring a bag to course
Lesson of the day 2: Don't leave / bring your thumbdrive with important docs to course

有爱但有碍

Finally, I haven taken the initiative and time to write a story about a young guy's love story. This story happened to him during his uni days and it's his first true love.. (and might as well reveal the real reason on why ppl keep on saying him as choosy)

I wrote it in Chinese version only and decided to post at my private blog.. Maybe later I should post here instead but it depends..

http://prim3secret.blogspot.com

Ppl who wan to read about it just have to let me know...

Chinese man taking a loan

A Chinese man walks into a bank in New York City andasks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to China on business for two weeksand needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells himthat the bank will need some form of security for theloan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street infront of the bank. He produces the title andeverything checks out.

The loan officer agrees to accept the car ascollateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese forusing a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives theFerrari into the bank's underground garage and parksit there.

Two weeks later, the Chinese returns, repays the$5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have hadyour business, and this transaction has worked outvery nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While youwere away, we checked you out and found that you are amulti-millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would youbother to borrow $5,000?" The Chinese replies: "Whereelse in New York City can I park my car for two weeksfor only $15.41 and expect it to be there when Ireturn?"

Ah you see, the mind of the Chinese...

Why British think 80% of M'sians coming to UK to study law?

UK Immigration Officer: Purpose of visit?

Visitor: I'm here to study law, sir.

Officer: You know, you must have a lot of lawyers in Malaysia.

Visitor: Why do you say that?

Officer: Well, i've been here for a good twenty years, and I'd say 80% of Malaysians I see here say they're here to read law.

Visitor: Oh, really? That's really something i never knew. Hard to believe in fact.

Officer: Just you watch, then. You just stand here until the next Malaysian comes along, and I'll bet he's here to read law.

*Visitor waits for 5 mins, Ah Chong from Malaysia comes to immigration counter*

Officer: Mr. Ah Chong, purpose of visit?

Ah Chong: Study lorr...

Sharing

He ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.

As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them kept looking over and whispering. You could tell they were thinking, "That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal forthe two of them." As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said they were just fine - They were used to sharing everything.

The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said, "No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything." As the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked "What is it you are waiting for?" She answered.... "The teeth"

Aims of Life

To live a life, one must have an aim. Before this, I like to base my 生活目标 on a certain someone: someone whom I can strive for.. But sadly, for the past few years, I am not able to find such a person.. As such, I had been living aimlessly few years for no reason.. No motivation, no energy, no commitments, etc.. Time to have a change, since now I have a career, which is something I can strive for.. (now only I start to aim high for work, what a stupid fool.. Other people already ahead of me..)

Prim3 8 Targets of Life:
1. Break the RM3k pay barrier by 5 years or earlier.. latest 1 January 2012 (that means have to work hard and get good rating so that can get higher pay rise each year..)
2. Have my own house by 3 years time.. by May 2010
3. Jump up two salary grades by 4 years time.. by May 2011 (rather same as 1)
4. Have total command of ISO documents within one years time.. by May 2008
5. Complete my studies by 1 and a half years time.. by December 2008
6. To master at least 2 other programming languages by 2 years time.. by May 2009
7. To have my own domain name and a fully-operational portal by 1.5 years time.. by December 2008 (need extra time as work comes first..)
8. To complete the first ever real-time inventory updating online system for my division in half a years time.. by December 2008

Of course, targets are not set just for eye pleasure only.. Real commitment and effort must be done to realise most if not all of them.. Hopefully, I can start to get serious now and fulfill my purpose of life..

Go go go Prim3!

Office Blues

One of the things that I need to accomplish now is to be strict and stick to my decisions. When I first stepped into this office, I have already known that they will be many people who will come to me with their own versions of stories. More of this will come now that I have taken over my colleagues place. As time passed by, I came to know that these stories may not be what they seem. As my colleague taught me, I only had to listen and forget. Any decisions I make should not be influenced by those stories and be neutral. Ya that's right. If I were to try to influence someone, of course I will be twisting the truth here and there.. and make the situation in favour of me. So the keyword here is make the decisions wisely and have good self-confidence. (Believe my own worth more than what others say.) And of course do not worry too much about others opinions and views of me as long as I think I am doing the right thing. Well, actually I am doing just that since the start.. Just that need to focus more and strengthen my mental strength now that I have much more responsibily on my shoulders.

Does this mean I will be maintaining an iron fist? Well, no.. First of all, I welcome opinions and views of others.. But definately the final decision is in my hands. Secondly, my boss can always override my decisions.. hehe..

Another thing I would like to stress to myself (and maybe others?).. For me, there is always only black or white.. there is never such thing as gray in my dictionary. That's why for me, there can only be do it.. or don't.. there's no such thing as try. That's why also, whenever I hear other people saying things like: What to do (the worst thing I ever heard!).. Try lo.. etc.. I become very obsessed. If you want to do it.. then do it.. If not, no point to say those things.. It's like saying "I try to eat the apple" ??!! Try to eat the apple? You want then you put your mouth there and bite it.. If not, then throw it to the floor.. What the heck is try to eat it??? The same case for all other things in life.. Try to do it? What is the meaning of this phrase? Is there any forcefield stopping you from doing it? any invisible hand making you paralysed and unable to do it, such that need to "try"? The answer I think is very clear.. It's only the person's own will not to do it..

Finally come to an end to this article.. Strayed too much from what I originally want to remind myself: Take myself to the next level: Be braver and make the correct decisions and be more transparent (transparent to others..) .. :)

大家庭二 PART1

大家庭终于都揭开了新的一页。旧人离开了，新人来了。从此一切都不一样了。所谓：去年今日此门中，人面桃花相应红。人面不知何处去，桃花依旧笑春风。比起去年这个时候的大家庭，变化实在太大了。现在想起来，真的还有些感慨。

从现在起，大老们的称号得改变：老大改为大哥、老二离开了不必、老三改为二哥、还有的是欢迎我们的三哥。是的，三哥来了。是一个刚刚大学毕业的三哥。这位三哥初来报到，可说是对大家庭的事情还不是很清楚，就正如二哥刚来的时候。（想起了当初老二栽培老三的时候）所以啊，二哥还未真正把事务交给三哥前，必须好好栽培三哥。在这期间，二哥只好一人做二人的工。忙啊！说到事务分配，二哥现在主管古晋、诗巫。三哥主管其他地区。这样的分配应该可说二哥出门的机会会较少了吧。也好，其实啊，二哥也累了。是时候休息一会再出发吧。

就这样，老三/二哥，朝向新的目标前进吧！新的挑战即将开始！

...

看破世情，心如止境。

Me and chat, chat and me

Exactly 17 days didn update, I cant really remember what happened during this period already.. haha.. as usual, busy with work.. went to Sarikei for USP site visit last week.. had meetings, reports, blah blah..

But got 2 things wanna whine, the 1st is that I really hate those people who always reply slow in MSN.. come on, whoever you are or how famous you are, pls la, respect ppl a bit.. if you wanna initiate a chat with ppl, then pls show some respect.. who are you to keep ppl waiting here and there.. don tell me you got so much (100?) chat windows open until you need to wait until 5 min only can reply.. is this just a trick to show the famous-ness of tat person? beats me..

Secondly, if you wanna chat with ppl, you can also msg ppl first.. there is no rule that says gals cannot msg a guy first.. janganlah you see ppl online there for half an hour but you don wan msg him, but when he msg you first, then you blah blah non-stop... and then complain y never want to chat with you.. it's very stupid.. wan to jual mahal is it?

So now enacting these rules for myself:

Prim3 Chat Rules:
1. Keep me wait, no need chat
2. Me message first? Just you wait
3. Annoy me? Straight away block
4. Send me virus, will hack you back
5. Do all the above? You will regret!!

:P

10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits

Time of change

Many changes are coming into my life.. As a summary, lately I had been busy with a few things:

1. Moving "house".. I should say moving office, from a small partition into my own room! Since my colleague is leaving is leaving for KL.. So as the "most senior" executive in my unit, I shall take over his room :) anyway, a new guy is coming.. and it has been the gossip topic ever since 1 week ago.. nobody knows where this new dude is from.. only knows he is from Sarawak (heck, Sarawak is a very big place).. and so, I also have to empty my space and my comp so that I can hand over to him on Monday.. I also had a lot of things to take over from the senior.. Actually those tasks he should have handed over to me when I first came in (he said so himself).. but due to I am too new that time, so now is better.. :D

2. Organising a farewell dinner for the senior.. I had been given the task as mentioned.. Since he had been a good friend, so I have decided to have a big one for him.. (even though some suggested places like hartz chicken, I dont think it is rather appropriate la..) so now I had to go to survery, get the price, collect money, make arrangements, confirm the order, etc..)

3. Thinking of how to divide the workload between my boss, myself and the new guy.. so that I may suggest to my boss.. unlike the old times, now I am the senior, so many things I have to start to take care.. I would very much like to ensure I do not have to go for the USP project anymore, as it is too much burden if I have to handle it together with the other major contracts.. not to mention if I handle it, I would have to go on lots of travelling also..

4. Assignments, projects.. assignments, projects... ouch! donno why the lecturers like to give those things when the sem is coming to a close.. pls la.. let ppl have a break ok? and unlike the rest.. my class' ppl are all working adults.. so work comes first ok? if really like to give so much work, at least make the sem longer la.. now we are using 3sem-a-year style.. which is not very fair.. ouch!

Does Management really know their Staffs? (Prim3: I do :P )

On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a youngboy leaning against the wall, doing nothing.
He approached the young man and calmly said to him,How much do you earn?"

The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, he replied, none the less, "I earn $ 2 000.00 a month, Sir. Why?"

Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $ 6000.00 cash then gave it to the young man and said:"Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is 3 months 'salary', now GET OUT and don't come back".

The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight. Noticing a Few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner:"And that applies for everybody in this company".

He approached one of the onlookers and asked him,"Who's the young man that I just fired?" To which an amazing reply came of, "He was the pizza delivery man, Sir...!!!"He surprises... and walk away!!

Disappeared most of the time..

From Sunday 4 March 2007 until Thursday 15 March 2007, I had only been in Kuching for less than 1 day.. haha.. reason? I had to attend two training courses.. The first one is in Cameron Highlands at a TM resort. What is a TM resort? it's a resort specially built for TM staffs. There are many TM resorts around Malaysia: Penang, Cameron, Port Dickson, Fraser Hill, and Sabah. There used to be a TM resort in Kuching too.. But I heard the building very old, and so maybe it had been disqualified.

The Cameron Highlands course lasted one week and it was a continuation of the one in Penang, mainly about hardware and software maintenance of DEMS. During the course, I did went shopping.. haha.. bought many things.. tea, strawberry, strawberry juice concentrate, bookmarks, mata kucing, Cameron apples, etc.. wow.. it's the first time I did so much shopping.. haha.. but to tell the truth.. there were many places I had yet to go there.. including Bee farm, butterfly farm, strawberry farm, etc.. and in the strawberry farm, you actually get to pluck ur own strawberries and buy from them.. haha.. I did try something called water crest juice.. not bad.. it's a health drink btw.. The weather at Cameron is very cool.. much colder than in Genting.. and the air is very fresh.. this is the kind of environment every place should have.. instead of the hot air we get everyday.. -.-" i did take photos of the place and the things I bought.. will upload soon..

THe next course is in Multimedia College in KL. Nothing much to talk about here.. as usual anyway, the place is horrible.. the hostel is dirty.. if anyone stay there for one night.. i m sure they will complain.. and another thing is the toilets are shared.. so people had to go out and take their bath.. talk about that.. and I dare not go to their toilet.. if I got any business, big or small, I will just go downstairs where there's a very nice and clean toilet just beside the big lecture hall.. haha.. enough of the hostel, now for the food.. as expected, lots of hot stuff.. and dont know when did they changed cater.. the food is like.. haha.. I cant believe I actually put those things into my stomache.. oh well, I guess life's like that.. I cant expect to have good stuff when going to a place like that.. hope that's the last time I have to go there for a very long while!!!

I thought of going for the "Eye of Malaysia" (the big ferriswheel) while in MMC.. it's just nearby.. but the few times I wanted to go there.. the weather is like in a desert.. so had to cancel the thoughts.. many chance to go there next time anyway..

大家庭PART9

这次的大家庭系列，分为小弟和大老两部分。大老指的是：老大、老二和老三三人。

话说在过年期间，发生了一单命案。在美里有一位叫比得的小弟。他生前可说是大家庭里最能干的小弟。一直以来，有什么事情都是他一手搞定。可能因为这样，大家都很依赖他。大事小事，老大老二整天都叫他飞来飞去，忙个不停。很可惜，太被依赖，反而害了他。在一次的公干时，他忽然倒了。和他一起的同事送他到诊疗所途中，不幸去世了。虽然真正的原因不明，但应该是心脏病吧。因为这样，大老们失去了他们最可靠的人。大家庭可能因此要走下坡了！其他的小弟平时只会求助。你们太可恶了！！现在你们想求也不能了！！

说完小弟的事，论到大老们了。自从老三进入大家庭，他已经知道老二是个野心大的人。因为从第一天开始，老二就暗示他想离开大家庭，因为他想当老大。但因为这里的老大还年轻，他唯一能当老大的机会就只有到别的大家庭。老三的到来让他有机会离开。好吧，过了一年半。离开的时刻终于来了！老二收到了一个好offer。他终于能够提升自己的职位！但却得到吉隆坡！老二平时很讨厌那里的啊！本来以为他一定不接受。哪知？他竟然接受！！怎么可能？？只短短的一年半，老三还没从你身上学会全部啊！难道你就这样走了？五月一号，老二便要离开了。老三想想，只有两种感觉。

（一）有点恐惧。因为他不知日后能否应付得来。但这恐惧感很快便过去了。因为他认为，老二起初来时，也只有他和老大，那他又能应付？老三绝不输老二！他肯定能更胜一城楼！！

（二）有点伤心。毕竟老二是老三在大家庭里感情最好的朋友。可能因为年龄最近是他们吧。而且老二也教会了老三许多。突然要走，难免老三会伤心吧。虽然时日还有一个多月，那种依依不舍的感觉已到来。日后老三将会很寂寞吧。但老三也全心祝福老二，希望他会有个好前程吧。

另外还有一个感觉。那就是老三终于可以拥有他自己的房间了！！！！！ Enough said.. ;)


P/S: 还有，五月一号开始，老三不再是老三，而是老二 ;)

Update soon

Haha.. so so bz lately.. and yet so much things to tell.. from my cameron trip.. to my office thing.. full of stories!

 

But need to wait till I come back from KL first.. going for another trip tomolo.. :P

好歌分享

歌曲：老死
歌手：苏永康

你对我说你我都总会有错
似你这句我已听得很多
陌生者的关心却仿佛一种接触
你说这世界美好不要错过
你却说你错过了的很多
明天虽不清楚仍愿意抚心劝我
未算识你但已想抱抱你
象老死只需想到了你
打不死牵心的我哪敢死
若我跟你学会不要放弃
未算怪都只这个世界
不算怪否则怎会碰到你

我与你某次也许街里见过
各有过去你我也不清楚
陌生的世界里共同的东西太多
我信你爱过更加哭过笑过
挫过跌过也算个好家伙
谁舍得不信你良善似兄弟对我
未算识你但已想抱抱你
象老死只需想到了你
打不死牵心的我哪敢死
若我跟你学会不要放弃
未算怪都只这个世界
不算怪否则怎会碰到你

Gong Hei Fatt Choy

It has been another great CNY.. I can't believe it's gone so fast.. I haven't really got the chance to fully appreciate all those nice foods.. nor did I went to all the houses that I was supposed to go.. and now.. thinking back to the past years'.. this year really got a bit different: no more ang pow from many people! haha.. already started working so cant expect to receive so many already.. at least ppl didn ask me to give (ppl say even though I am not married but working liao, shud give -.-")

Day 1: Morning and afternoon ppl came to my house to visit.. relatives, friends, and even my colleagues.. seems like tat's how working ppl's cny shud be.. when they celebrate their new year.. i visit them.. when i celebrate mine, they visit my house.. haha.. nite time only went out.. but to relative's house only..

Day 2: Morning got ppl coming my house too.. at noon my small uncle got open house.. so we had lunch there.. after that.. more relatives house!

Day 3: Morning woke up late :P.. afternoon didn go anywhere.. was watching movie at home.. until forgotten the time.. haha.. nite time.. went to friends' houses..

Day 4: Today is friends' house visiting day.. haha.. so long didn see them already.. I guess CNY is the only time we get to gather together..

Day 5: Today didn't go anywhere.. as I got 2 assignments and 1 mid-term to settle.. lol.. this is the first time in my life that I had to do homework and study during CNY.. even my secondary school days also no such things.. lol.. but at night time I did went to visit a fren's house.. then to fren's fren house.. haha.. and the surprise is that for both of them, one of their parents is working in TM.. so kinda like a big family rite?

Day 6: Whole day study.. enuff said.. :P

Day 7: Exams! arghhh.. went to frag at nite.. the so called marathon only for one day.. haha.. louya ler.. but my form was high this nite.. wow.. and reaction was so fast.. i was enjoying fragging ppl.. instead of being fragged the first few times I played after many years didn't play.. I can sense my old CS self was coming back.. muahahahaha...

This year didn't went to many friends' house.. some didn come back.. some was busy with their studies, work, etc.. I guess that's one of the price of getting all grown up.. we have other things to worry about now.. (worry bout life, bout work, bout relationships, etc).. (used to sneak to the house at the back of mine to watch their lion dance.. so shiok..) life just ain't as simple as it used to be.. or maybe because, usually I am the one organizing those gatherings.. but lately I am just too lazy to do this kinda stuff.. ahahahaha.. if I don't do it.. nobody will.. lol.. how can..

Even though it's the 8th day of CNY already.. still.. GONG HEI GONG HEI!!! May next year's CNY arrive at just the blink of an eye! :D

Malaysian Mathematics, Sad But True...

(Prim3: NOT DONE BY ME!)

I find it most alarming that Malaysian schools teach our children the wrong things. I mean, can the children really apply what they are taught in school later in life? For example, can you imagine a mathematics question in a recent examination as follows?"

If an egg costs fifty Sen, and if you buy one-eighth of the egg, how much would you have to pay?"

Who in heaven's name will want to buy one-eighth of an egg? The shopkeeper will probably think you are crazy and he will be equally stupid to break the egg and measure one-eighth for you. Yet, this is how they structure the questions in Malaysianschools. Why not pose questions that would be more useful later in life when you go out into the world to earn your living?

To help Malaysia's Ministry of Education bid to face the realities of life, we are suggesting some questions they could use in our classrooms:

QUESTION 1
If you drive from Kuala Lumpur to Penang along the PLUS Highway and there are four speed traps along the way, and if each speed trap would cost you RM300.00 in fines, how much in fines would you accumulate by the time you reach Penang?

ANSWER (Choose one)
1. I would not suffer any fines as the oncoming cars would flash their headlights and I would slow down before coming to the speed trap.
2. I would only need to pay a total of RM80.00 as I would pay a RM20.00 bribe at each speed trap.
3. I would not be stopped as I am a UMNO Wakil Rakyat so I am exempted from speed traps.

QUESTION 2
If your Bumiputera company is awarded a RM150 million government contract, and you make a 20% profit, how much profit would be at the end of the contract period?

ANSWER (Choose one)
1. I will not be making a 20% profit as I would have to pay the Minister 10% and UMNO 5%.
2. I would make 30% profit, which is the progress payment I receive, after which I will abandon the project and let the government call for re-tender.
3. My company will not make any profit at all as I will siphon out all the profits and show a loss to avoid paying corporate tax.

QUESTION 3
If the ruling party obtained 54% of the popular votes in the last election and won 151 or 80% of the seats, and if it saw an increase of 10% in votes this election, how many more seats would it gain?

ANSWER (Choose one)

QUESTION 4
If the national petroleum company, Petronas, pays a 5% royalty to Terengganu State and if the amount paid is RM800,000,000 per year, how much should Petronas have in the bank accumulated over the last 25 years?

ANSWER (Choose one)
1. Nobody is supposed to know as Petronas need not show its accounts to anyone except the Prime Minister and this information comes under the Official Secrets Act.
2. Petronas earns only 50% of its petroleum revenue from Terengganu so Petronas' total income accumulated in the banks over 25 years should be RM800 billion.
3. Petronas has nothing accumulated in the bank as all the money has spent bailing out companies and finance mega projects.

A Prayer for the Stressed!!!

Dear God:

Grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change,
the courage to change things i cannot accept,
and the wisdom to hide those bodies of those people
i had to kill today because they pissed me off.

And also, help me to be careful of those toes i step on today
as they may be connected to the ass that
i may have to kiss tomorrow.

Help me to always give 100% at work ......
14% on Monday
22% on Tuesday
30% on Wednesday
24% on Thursday
10% on Friday

And help me to remember ......
when i'm having a really bad day,
and it seems that people are trying to piss me off,
that it takes 34 muscles to frown but
only 4 to extend my middle finger and say

' BITE ME ! '

Another 2 weeks without updates.. lol

lately been involved in many things.. one of my friends just came back from Australia.. I thought he is back for good.. who knows just for hols.. -.-" anyway, his best fren is supposed to organize a welcome back dinner for him last saturday.. a steamboat dinner at Hornbill's.. but who knows this tiao keh dude just suddenly disappeared on that day.. hahaha.. everyone was bz looking for him.. since he had gone from malaysia for quite some time.. all we got is his house phone number.. even handphone number also don't have.. anyway.. we did managed to find him on Sunday.. and he said he will pick us up that day (I got this message from Pui).. ok then.. I thought can go and enjoy myself to a good meal.. who knows.. no idea what the heck.. then I know they were planning to go for fragging instead of eating.. ouch!! they are still the same ol' games maniac.. ahahaha.. It had been a long time since I last fragged.. we fragged from 6pm to around 10pm.. then we went to eat at Jln Song.. Wow.. It was like they wanted to kill me.. leave the innocent me starving like that until that time.. ahahaha.. but it was a good time.. having back to the good ol' days of "Frag-and-nothing-else-I-cared" uni life.. ;)

Mr Pui finally got a job.. somewhere in Kuching.. although I don't really know the details of his job.. something related to programming I think.. but this dude had to think many many times before agreeing to it.. haha.. considering about the pay, the location, etc.. but what the heck.. everything had a start.. once you had the experience and knowledge and skills.. it's you who chooses the job, not the job chooses you.. this is something we all will experience.. so we have to look to the long-term future, and not the short-term one.. anyway, it's great for him.. and of cause for me, since he has like owed me so many meals already.. I am gonna have it back all at one go.. muahahhaa...

Also, had been watching Death Note lately.. not the manga.. not the movie, but the anime.. And I must say it is the next great thing I had ever watched.. people say the movie kind of dropped the whole series down.. and I can understand why after following the anime.. (I watched the movie first.. good thing for me).. the anime is much more detailed and more exciting than the movie.. The movie feels like it's kinda rushed.. and besides.. you can't really expect to fill 30++ episodes of anime into one or two movies.. ouch! and even though the anime is longer, there's still many parts not clear since it requires a lot of thinking and reasoning just to get the whole picture together.. all in all, I love the anime and enjoyed every moment of it.. I kind of watched 14 episodes all at one go.. haha.. great digestive system to absorp all the stories? ;)

oops.. forgot to intro: Death Note is about a guy who somehow managed to pick up a Death God's notebook.. any name written into this book by the owner will die.. the owner, Light used it to kill off criminals in Japan.. the police, with the help of a genius detective, L, attempts to find out who this person is and to stop him.. I am not saying that I 100% agree with what Light is doing.. even though they are criminals, we as humans do not have the right to decide on the life of others.. That is something only God can do.. what I enjoy about this series is how Light and L attempts to find out who the other one is and to get them to admit their crime/reveal his name.. ok enough of blabbering.. any more thing from me will become a serious spoiler for those haven watched..

hands getting tired.. prepare to go back luuuuu... :D

Marriage Choices

There is a man who has three girlfriends, but he does not know which one to marry. So he decides to give each one $5000 and see how each of them spends it.

The first one goes out and gets a total makeover with the money. She gets new clothes, a new hairdo, manicure, pedicure, the works, and tells the man, "I spent the money so I could look pretty for you because I love you so much."

The second one went out and bought new golf clubs, a CD player, a television, and a stereo and gives them to the man. She says, "I bought these gifts for you with the money because I love you so much."

The third one takes the $5000 and invests it in the stock market, doubles her investment, returns the $5000 to the man and reinvests the rest. She says, "I am investing the rest of the money for our future because I love you so much."

The man thought long and hard about how each of the women spent the money and decided to marry:

The one with prettiest face :P

Divorce News

An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams."

We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and he hangs up.

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like hell they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone, too, and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving. Now what do we tell them for Christmas?"

New Year New Hope

Finally! The beginning of a new year! After the long hols.. longing for CNY to come faster instead.. haha.. guess that's the perfect human reaction.. always wanted to enjoy and not work.. lol..

Anyway, last weekend was one heck weekend.. Since there's a request from a customer, so we had to bring him to Miri to do some corrective work.. Going to Miri? seems like normal right? yeah right.. if it's using flight then it's normal.. but we had to use car!!! wow.. it's the first time I had ever travelled so far.. and it's a VERY long journey.. Kch->Sibu ~ 6hrs, Sibu->Bintulu ~ 3hrs and Bintulu->Miri ~ 3hrs.. all in all.. one whole day for the entire journey to and fro (24hrs).. for west malaysians, this is acceptable.. (I used bus from Segamat to Penang and it took about 10hrs and I didn't feel anything, but tat was highways we were talking about).. For sarawak, the so-called "highway" is ermm.. not so highway after all.. the roads winding here and there.. and got many holes.. all caused by those heavy trucks passing by.. ouch! sit inside the car oso backache.. haha..
