One question.. What type of person is irritating you? Or should I ask what type of person is most irritating you?
I have working in my current job for 2 months, knowing some new colleagues which are friendly and helpful.. been joining them for lunch almost every day and so far still getting quite well along.. there is a guy who is very popular in our floor because he is a super talkative and humorous, always make jokes around with others and making everyone laugh.. honestly at the beginning I am quite enjoy to chat and joke with him, but time passing.. I found that he is quite a busybody person, who likes to talk something bad about others behind, not really respect others especially to ladies, and almost everyone also he wants to command, not sure what he has commended about me behind. . haha!! Honestly he is quite irritating me now, although we all are still going lunch together but I will just listen to them and try to talk less and giving command..
Beside him, there is another colleague also having the same attitude like him who like to give nick names to others and like to talk something behind others .. in my work I have to duel with him quite often so I can’t ignore him, what I can do is just talk about works and less talking about others.. he is one of my lunch partner also..
Nowadays, I didn’t join them for lunch that often.. I have going out with other colleague in the same floor who never join us for lunch.. although they are not that talkative and joking but I feel comfortable with them and we can even chat something else beside talking bad and busybody of others..
I can’t say that I am not a busybody person but to me there is always a limitation, once crossed my border than I will feel irritating and even feel bad for myself.. there are lot of other thing to talk and discuss but not just talking about bad thing of other people..
It is good to have communication between colleagues but at is it is a more healthy one .. Bless!!

my very first deployment..
I am required to back to office to do the deployment last Saturday morning at 730am.. (OMG!! 730am..!!) it is much earlier than my usual working hours and moreover it is on Saturday, one of the day that only I can sleep late.. anyway I have no choice but must come because my colleague got something on and she couldn’t make it..
Getting a bit nervous because this is the first time that I do deployment alone without my colleague around.. it is a deployment into production system so it anything goes wrong, by no choice we have to perform a fallback to roll the system to the status before the deployment.. so, frankly, quite stress..!!
I can’t really sleep well on Friday night, going to bed around 12+ and woke up at 6am.. reached office around 715am and I am the first one arrive.. another colleague from another unit will be here with me because she is the one hold all the user IDs.. so she is in on time and we manage to start the deployment at 730am.. in fact we can start at 8am but I requested her to be in 30 mins earlier because it is my first time doing and I may need extra time and just want to make sure I won’t make any mistake and do it slowly and safely..
Everything going quite smooth and we manage to complete everything by 915am and users are expecting to use the system at 930am.. we are 15 mins ahead and no users calling and chase us .. haha!! Anyway the first time is going well.. I am sure there will be lots coming, one thing I just hope that they won’t put the deployment on Saturday morning again but make it during weekdays morning.. I need my beautiful sleep over the weekend..

Mt. Bromo
It’s time to think and maybe plan for my trip again for this year.. due to the current economy crisis, so definitely can’t go somewhere far and expensive.. so the budget of the trip is about 1.5k to max 2k, it depends where I go and how is the shopping there.. So far, we have booked the tickets somewhere mid of June to Bangkok with friends.. Bangkok always be the first choice when I planned for a short and cheap trip.. this gonna be my 7 or 8 bkk trips already, haha!! What I love most is the foods there, which is much tasty, much cheaper than here.. the bazaar there is much more interesting than here too, the variety is like 100 times more than here, haha!! And the people there also very friendly.. opps.. I shouldn’t compared bkk and here too much.. but the most important is still airasia always offers cheap fare to bkk, haha!!
We all are expecting the bkk trip in June for foods, shopping, massages and etc… for my 2 girlfriends, sure they all getting very excited to buy some gym wears which have more designs and cheaper than here and also their inner wears which they have spent hours there to select their inner wears in ‘La Sensa’ in our previous trip, haha!!
My colleague has forwarded me an email about a place in east Java, Indonesia – ‘Mt.Bromo’ the active volcano which not really known by lot of locals, honestly I only known this place after the email from him.. he proposed a trip there somewhere in Nov, and the good news is airasia has flight direct to Surabaya which is the nearest city to the volcano.. beside the volcano, there is a Hindu temple at the bottom of the mt and also there is sand sea which cause by the eruption of the valcono.. from the photos he attached in the email looks damn beautiful and great thing is to hike up to the peak early morning, reached the peak in the morning to see the beautiful sunrise.. must bring a nice camera to snap some beautiful sunrise photos.. we are planned for the trip in Nov and just hope airasia can offers cheap fare to Surabaya and can help us to save some for the trip.. for more infor of mt. Bromo, go to http://wikitravel.org/en/Mount_Bromo

meetings..
I am attending more meetings recently.. for most of the meetings that I have attended so far, I just a listener because I am just in the job less than 2 months, so lot of things I am still not that familiar, and usually I am just there and listen to them..
I have to say that most of them who attending meeting would like to express themselves very much to get attention, especially in the project meeting with users.. after 2 project meetings with users, omg!! I can really see how those users push their responsibilities and chase IS to solve their outstanding issues.. usually people are talking quite loud in the meeting, and there will be a small groups discussing among them in the meeting.. why they have to talk so loud? Try to get more attention? Or just to make they more powerful to push others to work for them..?? or they are frustrated of the pending of outstanding issues? Or… I dunno.. I notice that one of the young lady (maybe in her late 20s or early 30s) who are really hot tempers and easily raise up her voice in the meeting, my colleague told me that have to be alert to her because of her characters.. on the other hand, another lady who also attending meeting who are more professional in the way she talks and cooperation..
Actually in a meeting we can see how professional the person is and how cooperate he/she with others and of coz we also can see that person characteristics.. It is really noisy in the meeting and I am sure those noise really can make someone getting more stress.. so far I am still ok with those noise, but once I am getting more involve into the project, sure those noise going to be very annoying and sure will feel stress and dislike to attend meetings..

red wine..
Last weekend was a busy working weekend for me because of system cutover and user testing.. I work till 12 something mid night in Saturday night and back to office at 8 morning in Sunday, really not enough sleep.. my mind and my body both are completely tired when I am back to office in Sunday morning and what make it worst is the air con is not working over the weekend, the whole floor is only rely on one unit of air con, although we all are wearing like going to beach, with short, t-shirt and slipper, but still feel very warm inside the office, luckily only 6-8 of us here, if everyone are here than I really can’t imagine the heat here..
I left office in the afternoon and leave to gym to attend bodystep class, trying out the new release and it is so-so only, not really like the songs of the new release, none of the song really impress me.. anyway I am still quite enjoy it because first time doing and the instructor on the stage is fun and bitchy, haha.. (you know who you are, dude..)
After gym, I attend my close buddy – JC birthday dinner in Hakka restaurant.. ZZ brought a bottle of red wine to cheers.. as usual the foods there are great and we does enjoyed the red wine very much.. I am a lousy drinker, I felt quite high although just a few glasses.. I still felt high when I reached home that night, and also a bit dizzy and like wanna faint when doing my iron.. I guess could be the red wine and not enough sleep..
Slept quite well that night, but still feel a bit dizzy next day morning.. the thing only gone and my mind is only clear after my lunch, haha.. so next time it is better to have red wine on Friday or Saturday night than I can sleep till enough the next day..

EARTH HOUR - 28Mar2009 - 830pm to 930pm
28/8/09@830pm is EARTH HOUR.. Please turn off light for an hour 830pm-930pm..!! I am not really clear about the history of EARTH HOUR, but I do remembered I saw in newspaper 2-3 years ago where Sydney was the first country which support this activity where the photo show the opera house and harbor bridge lights all were turned off for an hour..
This activity seems getting more popular now where more countries are participating in this activity, even in Malaysia.. this year, a lot of turn off light activities in EARTH HOUR.. lot of malls or landmarks are participating too, emails are forwarding to remind people to participate for EARTH HOUR too.. few of my friends are getting very excited to turn off light for an hour, wondering why?? Haha..!!
For myself, I will participate if at that hour I am at home.. I have been informed that I have to back to office to work on Saturday afternoon and I was telling my friend that I will turn off the light at 830pm for an hour even in the office.. hehe!! Of coz I wish I no need to stay till so late.. in fact, I really pass the EARTH HOUR in office with few of my colleagues, we did turn off light at 830pm, but juz for a few minutes because we need to continue our works, can’t see the keyboard, haha!!
We did look out from the window during EARTH HOUR, we can see the KL Tower is turn off, only left a few small lights on the top.. of coz street and traffic lights are still on.. not completely dark.. well, hope the EARTH HOUR will still be popular next year, and I hope I no need to turn off office lights next year, haha!!

losing a bit weights..
My friends said I am getting slimmer lately, I not really noticed that, it could due to I am busy in work and don’t have time to go gym.. I have more time in gym when I am with my previous job, usually I can make it 5 times a week in gym.. but with the new one, I can only make it 2 times a week during weekdays and it getting worst past 3 weeks where I have to stay and work till almost 10pm everyday.. no gym, no pump muscles, no cardio, no running..
Another reason it could be I have my dinner earlier now, usually I will go out to get something to eat or dinner around 6+ before I continue to work.. so by the time I back home and sleep, its already almost 6 hours after dinner, hehe.. usually they advised 4 hours before bed time shouldn’t take anything heavy meal.. so I make it!!
Although it is good to lose a bit of weights, but I would still try to go to gym whenever I have time, especially over the weekend. I think guy shouldn’t be too thin, should be a more lean and no matter what you wear it will look nicer..

movies review..
It’s been long time I didn’t pose movie reviews here, its not I didn’t go for any movie, just lazy to write my reviews.. but there are a few movies which I have watched lately and would like to put my reviews here..
THE READER
My favorite actress KATE WINSLET who won the Oscar Best ACTRESS AWARD with her role as a Nazi who has an affair with a teenage who half of her age.. the storyline of this movie is simple, and the flow of the story is quite slow, I guess some of you guys may feel bored because of this.. this is a quiet movie because instead of talks, face expression and eyes signals playing a very important roles in this movie too, especially on Kate.. To me, Kate performance in this movie is brilliant and she really deserved the Oscar and others few Best Actress/Supporting Actress that she won with the role.. Kate likes to explore her body in the movie, haha!! and in this movie, she and the young actor have a few nude scenes.. this is a sad ending story and Kate suicide because of what she has done and she found that the one she loves is no longer loves her as before.. Recommended this movie to Kate fan, to those who not favorite Kate but wish to see her Oscar performance, to those who enjoy slow moving movie, but definitely not for those who like Hollywood big project movies..
REVOLUTIONARY ROAD
Another movie by KATE WINSLET.. this is the work of Kate Winslet and LEONARDO DICAPRIO 11 years after the super blockbuster TITANIC and the director of the movie is Kate’s hubby.. what I like most of the movie is the costume and images of them both, Kate look so beautiful with the 50’s hair style and dresses.. Leo does look smart in the movie.. the story is simple and easy to follow and both of them did a great job here, Kate won the Best Actress Award for her role in Golden Globe Award.. this is another sad ending, again.. Kate kills herself because of over stress of her life..
CHANGELING
ANGELINA JOLIE nominated Oscar Best Actress Award with her role in this movie.. this is a true story for a single mother looking for her missing son in 20’s.. she has faced lot of problems and gone through super hard time while looking for her son and even trapped herself into politic issues.. no doubt, her performance is great in the movie which own her the Oscar nomination.. one strange thing for me in the movie is the image of Angelina really look different from her real image.. wondering why she has to wear heat in the whole movie? One secret to share, my tears drops while watching the movie..
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
This is the big Oscar winning movie this year.. grabbed Best Movie and Best Director!! Before I go for this movie, I saw lot of good reviews of this movie and feel really excited to go for the show.. guess what, since it won the big prices in Oscar, lot of people get interested of this movie and we couldn’t get the ticket of the show.. or everybody getting excited and wanna know how to become a millionaire, haha!! Overall it is a good show, I like the way how the story tells, and I like the part when they are kids.. and how they fight for their life to live, the movie has shows the poor society in India which is one of my favorite country.. go for this show than we will know how lucky we are in our current living environment.. highly recommended to all folks!!
There are a few more movies I watched lately, but not really impressed me much that’s why I didn’t mention it here.. it seems like there is no interesting movie showing now.. so I can rest for a while by not going to cinema.. haha!! Expecting some big movies somewhere in May, summer..

hello again...
Sorry guys, it has been a while I didn’t login and update my blog and guess those who have visited my blog will feel bored for reading my blog lately, no new pose, no new links and no new information to share also..
The reason that I didn’t update my blog is.. still the same reason – busy at work.. I have worked till almost 10 pm everyday for past 2 weeks, totally no time to go gym and attend classes, even I have missed the launch of the new releases which usually I will rush and go to attend, but I missed it!! Get very jealous when heard my friends comment about the new release which I still have no chance to try.. last weekend I managed to try 3 new programs in the gym, not to say all the new releases are cool, but at least we have new songs and music in the new releases..
Back to work, basically I am busy to support the UAT of the new system which has planned to cut-over this weekend.. which mean I have to work on coming Saturday and Sunday .. it is not an easy task to provide supports to the users in UAT, as the new system seems got lot of problems, even just left a day before the cut-over , guess what.. user still reported a new problem to us just now. Phew.. hope the developer manage to come out the solution in the flash!! Else, if the user not satisfy with the UAT and they don’t want to sign off.. than… we have to prolong the UAT till.. hopefully don’t drag so long because providing supports in UAT is very tired..
Beside works, nothing much in my life lately, work late.. reached home 10 plus and have a good shower and facebooking a while.. have to go to bed as I have to wake up 630 in the morning to work.. although it is busy and tired but so far still ok with my new job, because directly I have learned quite a lot during the UAT process..

Chinese, western, malay, indian and etc... all are within walking distance.. Talking about the job functions, mmm.. it is something new to me and so far I manage to learn some new skills in different platform and colleagues are quite nice (so far..) haha!! my superior is a friendly and hard working guy.. he always keep himself in good mood even he is frustrated with his works sometime.. my lady boss is a very high demanding lady, she will expect you to stay back and be productivity..
Second big thing in Feb is my birthday lo.. hehe!! a few of my closed were celebrated with me in Delicious in Marc residency.. nice place, beautiful environment and yummy foods.. we were having a good dinner and most of my friends are very 'sam pat', we make lot of jokes and funs in the dinner, and the birthday song that they sung for me is damn cool - opera version somemore.. thanks mimi (you know who u are.. haha!!).. after dinner, we proceed to clubbing for some alcohol and dancing.. it was a fun night although none of us were drunk..!!
Oh yeah! anothe big thing happened in Feb was my favorite actress Kate Winslet finally won an oscar Best Actress with 'The Reader' in her 6th nomination in oscar.. with her age - 33, she is the youngest actress with 6 nominations and 1 win!! I have watched 'The Reader' and she really deliver a great performance in the show.. beside oscar she has won a few other Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards with 'the Reader'.. and TIME magazine has called her the great actress in new generation.. congratulation Kate, let's move on.. and hope to see your great performance in coming movies..

really mad for income tax department services..
Our HR issued us the letter of vss on the Friday (before the long weekend break fro CNY).. we have to bring the letter to income tax department to declare the tax although for some of us are not taxable due to our salary is not reach to the taxable level.. but one thing, I really don't understand why the HR only issued the letter on the very last minute because all of us who got the letter will only stay in the current company by end of Jan, so no matter what definitey we have to bring the declaration letter back to the HR in order to release the money before end of Jan.. and to ME, I must bring it back because by beginning of Feb I will start the new job and for sure I don't have time to rush back to income tax for get letter, or worst case.. the income tax may required me to submit this and that when they checked our records.. as you know it is a super headache to go income tax so many times just to get one simple thing done..
Talking about my case.. I have submitted my letter to income tax on early monring on Wednesday.. there is no problem while I submit my letter.. anyway I do explained my situation to the lady who served me at the counter.. I beg her to issue me the letter by Friday and as what I have expected she said there are officers on leave during the CNY so there is no promise that I can get it on Friday, moreover the processing time usually will take a week.. she does gave me the contact number of the officer in charge of my case and ask me to call her on Friday to follow up the case..
I back to office after the income tax and heard some of my collegues who went to income tax are really mad because the income tax required the 2008 EA and some of the old records are missing and they are required to submit the missing records before the letter issued to them.. I thought I was lucky because nothing is required from them (yet).. But on Thursday, one of my colleague even got her letter on the spot without any headache.. I was damn surprised so I try my luck to call the officer in charge in the mroning but couldn't get her.. I spoke to her assitant and ask her to follow up my case due to the urgency.. on the phone she said she will follow up and will give me a call when the officer is back.. in my mind I know definitely she won't call me.. what in my mind is right!! waiting till 2plus in the afternoon, no a single call from her.. so I decided to call to follow up.. first call, the officer is in the interview.. second call, the officer is in the meeting.. third call, the officer still in the meeting.. last call, no one pick up(it was around 5pm..) I was bloody damn mad..
I have to go for plan B.. go to look for the officer on Friday morning.. I manage to speak to the officer on the phone and she promised to issue me the letter in an hour time.. cool!! I just stay and wait.. an hour later she called, no good.. she said my 2 years old records missing and required me to go there and fill up form to submit.. ok.. I did that.. so she said another hour to complete the letter.. I will wait.. about an hour later.. she calls again..also no good news, she asks for 2008 EA.. as most of my colleagues are having the same problem.. I told her the HR only issued the EA by end of Febuary and I can't provide her now.. then she make lot of excuses that she can't process the letter without the EA.. like requesting the HR to write a letter, ask me to provide whole 2008 payslips.. damn!! I was fucking mad on the phone with her.. and ask her to estimate my 2008 incomes which is not that difficult as she have the record of my salary.. in fact the 2008 EA and the letter are two different cases.. she just issue me the bloody letter and I will submit my 2008 tax by end of April..
So, afer so many calls and rediculous requests which really make me mad.. I got my letter at 11am plus.. aftr 3 hours waiting.. I really can't take the services of the income tax department.. so many stuffs there but the services are bloody damn lousy and slow.. I believed lot of us are really mad and hate to go income tax departmet unless no choice..

I really ate a lot of pineapple cookies, 'kuah kapet' and 'ngah ku' biscuits.. hehe!! just sit in front of TV and eat.. especially on the eve and 1st day of CNY.. one funny thing is.. the more I eat the more I go to toilet.. haha!! is that normal?? I asked my friend and she told me she was the same too.. few times toilet in one day.. so I guess it is normal!! haha!!
After 2 days of 'hard eating'.. I tell myself I must go gym to burn fatssss.. I did it!! work really hard in gym yesterday and feel so release with all the sweats.. but... when I reached home start to eat cookies again... sigh.... so have to work hard in gym again in next few days..
That's gonna be gathering and reunion dinners on coming weekends after most of my friends are back from their hometown.. so time to eat again.. definitely I can't burn as fast as what I am eating.. to take is so damn easy but to let go.. phewwww.. GOOD LUCK NIGEL..!!

CNY surprised - sister make biscuits
Back to work today after 4 days of CNY offdays.. what have I done on the 4 days.. basically is - eat!! haha!! as a local KL boy, actually CNY is quite a boring festival for me.. on the eve went back home for the reunion dinner... basically I will go back home in the morning and start eating this and that while watching TV and enjoy the massage chair, hehe...!! by the time the dinner is ready, I am actually quite full with all the rubbishes.. hehe!!
Usually sister will ask me to bring back some cookies back home to eat, I am so surprised that she even make the 'ngah ku' biscuits herself this year and praised herself that the 'ngah ku' biscuits that she make is thinner and nicer then others that we bought, and also with the little cost can make quite a lot.. so she said this year onwards, we don't have to buy anymore 'ngah ku' biscuits.. I ask her to learn to make other biscuits and cookies, so by next CNY, we no need to spend money to buy other cookies anymore.. hehe!! honestly, the 'ngah ku' biscuits from her really taste nicer then the one I bought.. well done sister!! expecting more biscuits and cookis from you by next CNY!!

CNY shopping!!
CNY is coming in another 2 more weeks.. guess everybody is busy for their CNY shopping.. although the economy is bad but I still see the mall is pack with people during the weekend, not sure is shopping or Windows shopping, hehe..!! or people just think that CNY is once a year big celebration, so just spend a little bit more for this festival, and only start saving later.. haha!!For me, nothing much to shop for CNY except buying some new cloths and cookies for myself and family.. actually I have started to do my shopping since beginning of December due to the sales is on, and surprisingly the discounts given are quite attractive.. and I have a habit to wear new cloth on Christmas eve dinner with friends, so just started to shop over the weekend with friends.. and manage to buy something I like with quite a good price..
The shopping continues till beginning of January and I tell myself to stop buying.. because I have enough new stuffs to wear for CNY.. among the stuffs I bought, 80% are from Pull and Bear, I really like the t shirts there because the cutting and design really suite me and during sales period, the offer given are quite good also.. so I will shop there more often in future instead of my regular Topshop, its time to change, hehe..
Done all my cloths, so next will go for cookies.. I have ordered some from one of my friends and can't wait to eat my favorite 'Kuey Ka Pet'.. which only can find once in a year..
You deserved it, Kate Winslet..
Kate Winslet, my favorite actress.. she has been nominated 5 times for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in Golden Globe Awards, but she never win any.. For this year, she has received 2 more nomination for Best Actress in 'Revolutionary Road' and Best Supporting Actress in 'The reader', and in total of 7 times nomination..Before the awards presentation, I really hope she will win at least 1 award, especially in Best Supporting Actress nomination, lot of press have predicted she will wins with her strong performance in 'The Reader'..
Finally she won the Best Supporting Actress.. guess what?? the first thing she said on the stage is ' You have to forgive me 'cos I have a habit of not winning things..' haha!! I was damn happy to know the news from the web and from that moment I really hope she can make it for another one - Best Actress.. although she is not a prediction to win but I really hope miracle will happen on her..
The miracle does happened!! I was so shock and bloody damn happy when I saw the news that she really make it... Best Actress for 'Revolutionary Road'.. ya-hooooo!!
The 'Revolutionary Road' which she works with Leonardo DiCaprio after 10 years from 'Titanic' is going to show in cinema here somewhere beginning of February, so definitely i will go to watch it, can't wait.. haha!! as for 'The Reader' which is not a Hollywood production, I don't think it will show in the cinema here, no choice have to find the DVD..
Anyway, well done Kate.. you deserved what you got in Golden Globe and wish you all the best in coming Oscar next month..

finally.. I found someone same birthday with me
Among my friends, there are 3 of them born in the same day (but different year).. to me, it is quite fun that if we could find someone born on same day with us, it would be even great if at the same year..!! but so far I still don't have any friend who was born on the same year and same date..
Talking about that, I been looking for someone who born same day with me, but so far I still couldn't get one except one of my close friend was born a day later then me but in different year.. although we have known each other for quite long (maybe 6 years) but we never have the chance to celebrate our birthday together.. in view of that, maybe we should have it this year.. haha!!
Guess what..?? finally I have found someone same birthday with me, just foud it yeasterday.. he is one of the instructor and friend in the same gym.. he told me before we ara having same birthday but all the while I though he is joking.. and I have no idea how he knows my birthday too.. so yesterday when we met in gym he told me that he saw a pair of shoes and he likes it, ask me to buy for his coming birthday.. and to prove that he showed his IC to prove that.. OMG!! seriously it is same day (but I am bloody damn older then him la.. haha!!!!!).. by the way, I am not gonna buy him the shoes, haha..!!
It is quite fun to have someone same birthday with me and my nest target is to find someone same day and same year.. then it would be damn great!!

Happy New Year - 2009
HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody..!!
Finally I could spare sometime to write my first pose in 2009..
WORK - I was back to work after Christmas and also after my almost 2 weeks long leave.. I didn't go for holiday because wanna save money and plan to get something for myself in 2009, beside that the economy crisis also stop to spend and try to only spend wisely.. as you can imagine after 2 weeks off the work load is really killing when I back to work.. I have been trying to clear as much as possible but getting quite frustrated because most of the supports are on leave too and directly it has slow down my process to complete certain tasks.. well, till today I am still have to rush some of the outstanding tasks before I leave the company by end of this month.. as I know my boss won't just let me leave with some outstanding tasks and it is best that I can settled everything and let him enjoy his life in the next few months where he will work with the new management..
ENTERTAINMENT - What can I say beside the brilliant musical MAMMA MIA! .. we went for the show on 28 December, 2008.. few days before the end of 2008.. we are so surprised that our seats actually are very near to the stage then what we have expected, because from the seats plan, it was quite far from the stage.. the show was great and fun!! the songs, the performers, the customs, the music, but what I want to complain is the stage setup is too simple.. and no doubt the MAMMA MIA! movie by Meryl Streep was my favorite movie in 2008.. this movie does break a record in UK as the best selling movie ever, the previous record was hold by Titanic 10 years ago..
CELEBRATION - Forget about work.. Let's talk about new year's eve celebration.. we been thinking to go clubbing on the eve because we had missed it on Christmas eve, so friend said we must make it this time.. haha!! as what we have expected, the Bukit Bintang area is pack with people and traffic is horrible, but we manage to drive and park our cars somewhere near Imbi and walk to Pavilion to have dinner.. by the time we reached pavilion is already 11 plus and we know that definitely we have to count down there and can't make it to count down in the club.. 10! 9! 8! ...... 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR..!!!! we were joining the people in the restaurant for the count down and wishing each other happy new year..!! oh ya!! 2009 is here and it marks there I am one year older and have to start to work hard to accomplish my resolution in 2009!!
RESOLUTIONS - Talking about resolution.. I am not a greedy guy, what I wish most is I can have more opportunity and better performance in my career.. beside that I hope everybody and myself have a good health..!! and one very important resolution for myself is - Stay Positive!! I have to admit that I am a negative thinking person, so 2009 onwards I want to be a positive thinking guy!! I believed if we stay positive we will manage to overcome most of the challenges in our life!!
KEEPS GETTING BETTER IN 2009..!!
Love,
Nigel
