someone irritating..

2009-04-07T17:23:00.001+08:00

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..

2009-04-07T17:22:00.001+08:00

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

2009-04-04T09:27:00.002+08:00

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.

meetings..

2009-04-01T17:56:00.000+08:00

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..

2009-04-01T17:55:00.000+08:00

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

2009-03-29T11:15:00.000+08:00

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..

2009-03-28T21:53:00.000+08:00

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..

2009-03-27T19:39:00.000+08:00

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...

2009-03-27T19:38:00.000+08:00

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..

March - most BDay celebration..

2009-03-08T09:48:00.001+08:00

March, third month of a year..

4 of my close friends are born in the month of March.. so usually I will have 4 birthday dinner/party to attend in March.. and March is a month where I got very poor too.. for dinner and present.. haha!! but doesn't matter la.. as long as we are enjoying ourselves and have some happy moments together with friends..

Lately, I just noticed beside the 4 close friends.. I does have other 5 friends who are born in March too.. those are not so close friend and seldom meet up, so don't think I will have any birthday dinner/party with them.. unless I am invited..

I would like to say thanks for facebook.. because we will get an alert of friend's birthday.. so definitely we won't miss out anyone.. haha!!

back again.. (after missing for a month)

2009-03-08T01:06:00.004+08:00

Hey friends.. I am back again after missing in action for a month plus.. sorry!!

Since my previous post was on 1st of Feb, 2009.. so almost one and a half month that I didn't write anything.. honestly, started to feel lazy to write.. because seems like no one really bother to read my blog.. so I was thinking maybe should save my time and effort for updating my blog.. hehe!!

Anyway, I am here again to update my blog.. mmm... quite a lot of things happened in Feb.. firstly was start my new job in 3rd of Feb and it has been one month plus I am in my new job.. the number of staff in ISD - Information System Department are quite scary, it is about 180 plus staff.. the building that I am situated is only for ISD staff.. it is a very old building, the light of the life buttons are all not working, no air con in the toilet, no partition for us, the air con is not cold enough.. but one thing I like about the place is lot of nice foods nearby.. 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..

So far.. that's all in my mind that I wanna write here.. I will write again when something new pop up in my head again.. hopefully its not gonna be too long.. haha!!

Take care everybody..!!!

really mad for income tax department services..

2009-02-01T08:18:00.003+08:00

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..

things to do during CNY..

2009-01-28T17:30:00.002+08:00

Things to do during CNY... JENG! JENG!! EAT lor!!

I was a bit crazy this year because I have started to eat on the eve and none stop eating till the 2nd day of CNY.. 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

2009-01-28T17:07:00.005+08:00

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!!

2009-01-15T15:22:00.003+08:00

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..

2009-01-15T14:23:00.002+08:00

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

2009-01-06T13:43:00.003+08:00

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..!!

Happy New Year - 2009

2009-01-06T10:41:00.006+08:00

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

2008-12-30T16:13:00.003+08:00

I always like Christmas!! I like the Christmas tress, the Christmas songs and the Christmas decorations.. to me Christmas is the time to gather with your family and friends for dinner and gift exchange..

My friends and I went for dinner on the eve on past few years, so for this year.. we went Michaelangelo's in pavilion for dinner, we tried the foods there before and most of them are quite nice especially my favorite grilled cod fish.. yummy! yummy!! Initially we booked for 12 persons but last minutes 4 of them didn't turn up, some got emergency and some 'aeroplane' at last minute.. anyway we still carry on our dinner with 8 of us.. we suppose to start our dinner at 9pm but we only started around 10pm because one of my friend have to work late and another one was caught in the massive jam.. as usual I ordered my favorite cod fish..yeah! yeah! we ordered different foods so we can shared it and try something different..

After the foods... its time to exchange gift.. everybody name was wrote on a small piece of paper and each of us pick one paper.. jeng! jeng! guess what..???? I picked Angie again this year!!! I picked her also on last year...!! she told me that she hopes I won't pick her again this year because the gift is almost same like what I got fro her last year...!! but... haha!!

We have planned to go clubbing after dinner but when everything done its almost 1.30am, so it is too late for clubbing.. so we postponed the clubbing on the coming new year's eve.. so make sure we eat earlier and have enough time for clubbing.. haha!!

We are really having good time on the Christmas eve and hope we will able to celebrate it together again in Christmas 2009.. hugssss...

Maggie in VOGUE Icons Award 2008 (with Kate Moss)

2008-12-26T14:12:00.006+08:00

Maggie attended the VOGUE Icons Award 2008 in Beijing somewhere beginning of December, 2008.. Kate Moss is one of the special guest that night and glad to see the eastern and western icons in the same event..

I'm back!

2008-12-26T13:51:00.002+08:00

I'm back!! after missing in action for almost 3 weeks without writing anything in my blog.. the past 3 weeks was not an easy time for me due to the delayed of vesting date of my current company and joining date of the new employer.. I have been squeezed in the middle of both of them till dry and couldn't find my way out.. honestly I really not in the mood for blogging because my mind is stuck and both mentally and physically I am battery low..

I am here again to share a good news with those who read my blog.. well, I am glad that the new employer agreed to let me joined them a month later and I have to thank you them for their understanding of my situation and also their kindness..

As for my current employer.. I will try my best to complete those outstanding issues and those shits that my boss ask me to clear.. we both are not really talk now and most of time time we communicate via emails unless there is really no choice then we will talks.. definitely he is angry with me and will try his best to give me more shits to do.. well, I don't really care, as long as I still pay the salary and I will do my best to complete my tasks, be more professional and not like him.. a coward that couldn't survive alone and must spoon feed everyday by him staff.. what a shame for him.. anyway I will him good luck in his coming job with Hong Leong.. sincerely!!

So, at this moment I felt much more better and relief after the thing is settled.. I can be more focus to do my works and plan a little bit for next year..

Thanks god! Thanks to everyone who listened to me and help me to overcome everything to make me stand up and continue my life.. appreciated your kindness!!

keeps waiting... sien..

2008-12-05T09:23:00.002+08:00

As first they targeted it will be on 6 Dec, 2008.. then postponed to 13 Dec, 2008.. then again.. they postponed it to end of the year.. everybody though it should be the firm date as end of the year everything should be able to settle.. and most of us who found new job has promised the new employment to start work on beginning of Jan.. but.. the latest news is it has postponed to 10 Jan, 2009 due to most of the judges in court are going going for holiday in this month and there is insufficient documents for the process which caused the delay... everybody is getting very fed-up with the delay of the process.. especially those should start with their new job in Jan..

What we are trying to do now is request for early release from the current job.. some have actually spoke to the GM and she said she will try to talks to the new management and in order to release us by end of this month regardless how long the process will drag to... cause we believed the 10 Jan, 2009 will be delay again.. she said we may have to prove the letter of offer from new company to prove that we have new job and promised to start in Jan..

I really wish we can be released by end of this month.. else we may miss the new job due to the delay.. for safety, I have started to find another new job as backup.. bless me.. then we are ca go by end of this month..

Quarantine

2008-12-03T17:38:00.002+08:00

What should i say about this movie..?? definitely it is not the type of movie I like.. I seen the trailer and found it is quite interesting and what attracted me most in the preview is the lady crawling back to the camera only to be dragged into the darkness, screaming... and I am really interested what happen to her next....

Basically it is talking about a reporter Angela and her camera man, Scott following the firefighters to an apartment where some weird things happening there, they found out the old lady inside the apartment bites and everybody trying to escape and run out from the apartment.. but the apartment has been sealed and they are quarantine.. so more people get bitten and infected just like vampire.. and finally everybody gone just left Angela and Scott trying to find their way to escape from the apartment.. but.. but.. but... (sad ending)

My friend feel dizzy and wanna vomit while watching the movie because the camera man, Scott is one of the role in the movie and so in the whole movie the camera will run here and there, jump up and down.. drop and even he used the camera to hit one of the lady's head till she dies.. so the camera with blood marks.. yak! yak! another reason is because we had very heavy dinner before the movie.. luckily she didn't vomit in the cinema.. haha!!

Anyway.. to me this one is not really scary but what make the movie exciting is because of the camera moving around, especially the night version at the end.. if you like horror or scary movie then this one maybe a good choice for you.. but make sure don't eat too full before the show.. haha!!

Lovely Maggie in Dior party in Beijing..

2008-11-20T11:45:00.006+08:00

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

2008-11-19T11:40:00.002+08:00

I LIKE TO MOVE IT.. MOVE IT..

YOU LIKE TO MOVE IT.. MOVE IT..

WE LIKE TO MOVE IT.. MOVE IT.. MOVE IT!!

Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melmon are back!! and of coz the naughty penguins are back too.. If you have watched the Madagascar, I am sure you remembered them.. hehe!!

I fall in love when I watched the trailer on this movie and can't wait to watch it.. let start with my favorite role in the movie.. the hippo - Gloria.. she is fat, sexy and always take thing easy.. even a plane going to crash but she stills enjoying her nap.. haha!! she even found a hunky hippo boyfriend - Moto Moto in the movie.. this Moto Moto looks so funny especially when he came up from the water and his 6 pac on his abs are damn funny and everybody can't stop laughing on him.. haha!!

Alex found his long lost parents in Africa and he manages to save everybody life by finding the water supply to everyone.. beside that in this movie also talking about his friendship with Marty.. Melmon expressed his love to Gloria when the plane is crashing down but too bad.. Gloria didn't hear it because she is enjoying her nap.. but.. Alex and Marty heard that.. haha!! I just like to see both their funny faces..

King Julien and penguins are funny too where they really make lot of fun in the movie.. beside that the Nana the Old Lady role is really outstanding.. I really enjoy the way she walks and kung-fu fighting moves.. well done Nana!!

Overall it is a happy movie which can make everyone in the cinema laugh and laugh.. beside that the theme song 'I like to move it..' is really cool to be used at the beginning when everybody is celebrating for the take-off to New York.. if you are bored, suggested you go for the show and sure you will enjoy the 2 hours in the cinema..

hey! monkeys.. no bananas for u.. hehe!!

2008-11-19T11:30:00.002+08:00

I watched this interesting news on tv few days ago which talking about the monkeys and bananas.. in Japan, it is a trend now to eat bananas in the morning to slim down or lose weights.. so everybody has become a 'banana-mania' and grab all the bananas in the market although it is yet to prove that it will works..

Indirectly this caused the shortage of bananas in the market and affected the monkeys in the zoo doesn't not have bananas to eat..!! so by no choice, they have to feed monkeys with apples.. monkeys are not really interested in apples but what else can they do..?? because bananas are finished by human.. poor monkeys and.. poooooor human tooooo..

Quantum of Solace

2008-11-12T14:30:00.004+08:00

This is the 22nd James Bond film and 2nd from Daniel Craig.. I am not really a big James Bond fan but still won't miss the James Bond movie.. just wanna check out what is the latest technology, cars, planes and of course James Bond's girls.. haha!!

My impression of Daniel Craig is.. so far he is the most physically attractive James Bond.. undoubted he is very fit.. beside that he is the James Bond who really can jump and fight even without weapon.. I like the James Bond's girl - Olga Kurylenko so much, to me she is much more attractive and sexy then the previous one.. she is not the typical Bond's girl which always need James Bond to rescue.. she can fight and having very good driving skill as well.. honestly, I really like her body and the color of her skin.. Judi Dench still as 'M' in the movie and surprisingly she looks younger in this movie compared to the previous one..

Overall it is still an interesting movie which you can enjoy the car chasing, boat chasing, gun shoots, sexy girl and fightings.. make sure you are not late to the cinema because the graphic at the begining of the show with the theme song is great!!

another interesting article about Muslim vs Yoga..

2008-11-07T17:55:00.002+08:00

Another interesting article that I found on the web regarding the Muslims vs yoga, and I would like to share it here with you guys.. One thing I would like to highlight here is, I've been joining yoga for a few months and there is no chanting or praying in Hinduism at all in the class.. by the way, is it siting in Lotus pose consider part of Hinduism or Buddhism.. haha!!

Malaysia may ban yoga for Muslims

KUALA LUMPUR - Muslims in Malaysia may be barred from the ancient practice of yoga if they engage in Hindu "religious elements" during the exercise, a top Islamic cleric said Wednesday.

Harussani Zakaria, a controversial cleric from the northern Perak state, said the government-backed National Fatwa Council would soon release a decree, or "fatwa", which would decide if Muslims were allowed to practise yoga.

"If it involves any faith or religious elements it is definitely not permissible but if it is just a form of exercise that is all right," Harussani told AFP.

"Muslims cannot practice yoga in its original form because it involves another religion," he said in response to a call to ban Muslims from engaging in yoga.

Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, where more than 60 percent of the population of 27 million are Muslim Malays who practice a conservative brand of the religion.

The practice of yoga, a popular stress-buster in Kuala Lumpur, dates back thousands of years in India, where it was a favorite of holy men before becoming hugely popular internationally, especially among western celebrities.

Zakaria Stapa, a professor in the Islamic faculty of the National University of Malaysia, had called on Muslims to stop practising yoga, saying it could cause them to "deviate from their faith", news reports said on Wednesday.

Muslims in Malaysia practised yoga not just for exercise but also as part of the growing urban lifestyle and involved "chanting mantras while in various positions", he said.

"Why should we look for other alternatives to exercise and search for peace? Yoga could cause (Muslims) to stray from their faith because its movements are according to the style and traditions of Hinduism," he said.

The fatwa council, one of Malaysia's highest Islamic bodies, last Friday banned women from dressing or behaving like men and engaging in lesbian sex, saying it was forbidden by the religion.

Lady GaGa - Just Dance (Miss Universe 2008 swimsuit)

2008-11-07T14:41:00.002+08:00

The first time I heard this song 'Just Dance' was in the Miss Universe 2008 swimsuit competition.. honestly the performance of Lady GaGa on the stage not really impressed me much.. maybe I am too busy looking at the top15 in swimsuits.. haha!! sorry Lady GaGa..

Lately I heard the song 'Just Dance' again in radio.. the rhythm and beat of the song really impressed me so much.. I really like the electrical feel of the song when the music get started.. the feeling of the song is very 'clubbing' and really make me feel like just wanna dance with the music.. I have recommended this song to friends and they seem like it so much even one of my friend said the song gave him the feeling like walking in the runway.. haha!! really full of imagination ha!!

I have found a few video of this song in youtube.. but I decided to pose this video where Lady GaGa performed on the stage with top 15 Miss Universe in swimsuits.. hope you guys will enjoy the song and the bikinis.. haha!!

Interesting article to share "Peeved by yoga ruling"..

2008-11-05T11:46:00.003+08:00

My colleague told me on last Friday that she saw an article the National Fatwa Council has commented and making noise about Muslim practicing yoga because of yoga is from India and they considered that yoga is something to do with Hinduism.. as you know they are super sensitive when there is something to do with religion..

Anyway, the first thing in my mind is - OMG!! what the hell is in their mind.. anyone of them practice yoga before?? I bet none of them.. and how they know yoga is directly link to Hinduism?? and not focus mainly on the physical aspect of the practice..

I have found an interesting article wrote by a muslim yoga practitioner on the web regarding this issue.. I hope you guys will enjoy reading it.. you have done a great job muslim yoga practitioner..

I was shocked and in awe reading your report “National Fatwa Council to make a ruling on Yoga” on Thursday. Before I state my case, I think there are some questions that need to be answered.

> Why is it that during all this time, this body has shown no interest in coming out with any ruling on this practice as it is an ancient practice that has been around for centuries?

> Isn’t it strange that after much commercialisation and more people realise that healthy living is the best way to go, a ruling must be made to forbid us from practising yoga?

> What is the basis of their allegation that yoga focuses on spiritual aspects more than anything else?

> What chanting and mantra are they talking about? I have been doing Yoga for months and never during any of those times did my teachers teach us anything close to mantras or any kind of chanting whatsoever.

What yoga is to me, and I am sure to most people who practises it, is a healthy way of exercise for healthy living, similar to going to a gym or doing exercise on their own.

It is a more preferred activity because we don’t have to run for miles or join expensive fitness clubs just to keep ourselves healthy.

Even without indulging in the spiritual aspect, one can find peace of mind through relaxation and breathing exercises when the body is calmed. It even teaches you to be more patient and be tolerant especially in a stressful city like Kuala Lumpur.

The hectic lifestyle, awful driving experience and endless traffic jams, which the authorities have failed to solve, only causes more stress to city folks and yoga is one of the ways to release the stress.

So don’t tell us to stop doing what we can do in maintaining our health. Is it fair to judge and ban people from indulging in such healthy hobbies just because some people think it could deviate Muslims from their faith.

It takes one who actually practises yoga to know whether there is any truth in such claims. I wonder if any of the people concerned has ever tried yoga in his lifetime.

I am also annoyed that the National Fatwa Council thinks so lowly of Muslims in this country to conclude that we are unable to differentiate what we can and cannot do.

Yoga has been much commercialised ever since it was introduced to the West. The spiritual part of yoga is not something that is normally taught to students because the teachers focus mainly on the physical aspect of the practice – unless one chooses to learn more of the spiritual aspects.

I believe there are many important issues that need our attention besides something as trivial as this.

MUSLIM YOGA PRACTITIONER,

Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.

MAMMA MIA.. yeah!!

2008-11-03T12:02:00.002+08:00

We are so frustrated because we couldn't get the tickets for Mamma Mia musical till my friend called me on last Friday morning and he told me that he saw on newspaper they will release 1000 tickets for HSBC care holder from 1st Nov onwards, first come first serve and 1 card only entitle for 4 tickets.. and the tickets are the categories of premium (RM500) and tier 1 (RM400)..and 15% discount are given..

So I have been given a big mission to get 4 tickets for the show and this mission must be completed and no excuse to fail.. haha!! I went to LOT 10 tower record on Saturday morning around 1030 and the ticket counter is only open at 11.. sob.. sob.. I am hungry and feel like going to ca chan teng in sg.wang for breakfast.. but I just worried that after my breakfast the tickets sold out.. then I will be punished by my friends.. so I just try to forget my hungry and walking around in Isetan.. time seems passing very slow.. I back to the counter around 1045 and still no one there.. I just waited there... finally the guy came and open the counter and I am the first 'kiasu' one to purchase the tickets.. and thanks god!! I manage to get 4 tickets at the same roll and the seats are not bad also.. hehe!! so happy.. people are keep coming and who's care as my tickets are in my hand now.. once I just step out from the counter my friend's call to check the status.. phew... very tension lar!! haha.. luckily I manage to get the tickets else.. even more tension..

Although still one and the half month for the show but I am really excited and can't wait the day of the show.. I am sure its gonna be a 'Super Trouper' show will the 'Dancing Queen' on the stage.. haha!! for those who wanna watch and yet get the tickets, please act fast..

NUYOU fashion concert..

2008-11-03T11:34:00.005+08:00

I have attended the NUYOU fashion concert on last Friday night with friends.. my friend just told me there are 10 local designers and 4 singers will perform on that night and part of the tickets selling will donate to single mother funds.. I saw lot of local celebrities walking the red carpet and honestly none of them really impressed me much, haha!! the highlight of that night is when the special guest appeared in the red carpet..

The special guest of that night is 李心洁.. first time seeing her.. as what I have expected she is a pretty girl with a pair of beautiful eyes.. she is just a special guest without any performance that night..

The concept of the fashion show is each singer will lead the designer collections on the stage.. mean the singing and catwalk at the same time.. honestly, out of 10 designers, the most impressive is still the collections from Khoon Hooi which really into simple and nice and yet we can see his passion in his collections.. next is Lester Wong, who always know how to play with colorful stuffs in his collections.. for other designers, sorry to say that their collections make me feel like they are just rush and make sure they completed their stuffs to perform on that night..

The performances from Landy Wen was really amazing especially she did a few yoga poses with her high heel..(omg!! high heel... I can't even do it correctly with barefoot.. shame of me..) and she is the only one who sung 2 fast tracks and set the environment into disco mood and making everybody high..!!

Z Chen, the famous local R&B singer did a super great job too.. the music suddenly gone and totally silence while he is singing the famous track 'Because I Love You'.. my friend though it is a special effect.. haha!! but Z Chen manage to overcome it by asking the audiences to clap for the models on the stage and continue singing without music.. he really communicated a lot with audiences and the audiences seem like him so much and always given him back some noises and claps.. I have to say that Z Chen singing skill is really impressive.. great performance!!

The next performance is by Eric Lim.. honestly his dressing is really a bit 'ugly' especially the black raincoat.. he sung 4 slow tracks and honestly I don't know any of the songs and to me his performance is boring, he been tried to communicate with the audiences but.. haha!! the audiences seem not 'giving face' to him..

The last performance is by Gary Chao.. since he is a superstart now so the audiences welcome him with big claps.. no doubt Gary has a really powerful voice and great singing skill, his performance in 'My Way' was brilliant.. but one thing I really dislike about him is.. he seems not really care the audiences and just keep singing his songs, not even say 'Hi' to us.. so bad.. although you are a superstar now but please be professional and fair to all audiences, hey!! you are Malaysian too..

ate too much over the long weekend..

2008-10-28T14:54:00.002+08:00

Ho! ho! it was long weekend due to Deepavali is on Monday.. I bet lot of people have palnned to go back hometown instead of staying in KL.. I am a KL's boy and never have chance to go back hometown during festival season.. but I am very sure that the feeling of going back hometown to meet your parents and family members must be very happy!!

One of my friend will go back hometown during the long weekend and invited me to join him since I got nothing to do and no special plans.. since I have never been to the place and most importantly he said he will bring me to try some nice and famous foods in his hometown and of course his mum's cooking which can't missed.. haha!! We left KL on Sunday noon and manage to reach his hometown in late evening to join his family for dinner.. the traffic in express way is ok and not so busy and we manage to reach there as what we have expected.. it will be bad if there is traffic jam because it is about 10 of them expecting us for dinner.. his mum has prepared lot of dishes and he highly recommended me the steam chicken and mushroom.. no doubt these two dishes are really yummy!! beside that I do like the crispy fried fishes with ginger.. I am damn full after dinner and can't really sit down and relax but have to take a walk with my friend nearby his house.. since it is my first time to that place, my friend gave me a tour in the town and shown me the places where he spent during his childhood..

The next day morning, my friend brought me to try the famous sambal nasi lemak.. wow!! the sambal is really nice and very hot!! eat till I sweat.. haha!! next we went to the famous waterfall which is about an hour away.. lot of people there especially Malay who like to have picnic with their family with some home cook nasi lemak and bee hon goreng.. we walked all the way up to the top of the waterfall.. when I reached the top it almost half died already.. haha!! On the way back to town we stop by the road side and buy some durian, the town which nearby my friend place is famous with durian, so my friend said must try the durian there.. since both of us also dunno how to choose durian so just have to trust the guy and ask him to choose for us.. the guy is good because the durian really nice and some of the meats are orange color.. after the durian, my friend's mum preparing steamboat for dinner.. so basically my stomach just have about 2 hours break before dinner.. I saw lots of meat balls with different sizes and colors and many types of veggi as well.. again.. I was so full after the steamboat..

Well, its time to prepare ourselves to go home.. we have to leave earlier because everybody is rushing back to KL and that the express way may be very jam.. anyway the traffic is not so bad although there is jam in certain parks of the express way, it took extra 30 minutes then normal journey to reach KL.. anyway it is a nice short trip for me for all the foods that I have tried.. so it is time to work harder in gym.. go! go!

busy to tag those assets..

2008-10-24T14:42:00.002+08:00

Again... wanna share something in my current job.. after the job offered, vss, relocation and bla.. bla.. bla.. issue.. now its the time for us to pack office and own stuffs as the rental of current office will end by this December, so basically less then 2 months left before we say BYE BYE..!!

Everybody seem busy to pack and throw their own stuffs and some have started to move back their personal things home, especially for those who have been worked here for more then 10 years, sure they have stored lot of personal stuffs in office.. hehe!!

I still haven't start to pack my own stuffs and I don't think I have lot to pack home but more to throw.. hehe!! currently I am busy to tag those assets like laptop, pc, printer, servers and etc which have purchased by the new management.. I was joked with one of my colleague who has accepted the offer by the new management that she is an asset for them and I should tag a label on her forehead.. haha!! most of the assets taken by them especially pc are quite old, 4-5 years old with Pentium 4 processor, but guess what?? my boss told me that Pentium 4 to them is consider new because most of them are still using Pentium 3 now.. OMG!! no wonder the staff have to stay back everyday due to the speed of their pc, haha!!

I have label those asset with yellow sticker, and I can see the yellow stickers are everywhere in the office now.. indeed it looks quite nice and a more colorful working environment.. what about the liabilities?? I heard my boss said some of the pc and laptop will sell it cheaply to staff.. I don't think anyone will really interested on that because more of the machines are old.. and the new old is getting cheaper.. so who's care the liabilities..

they said - they have been cheated!!

2008-10-22T09:10:00.002+08:00

Something to share regarding the new management again.. after the vss and job offering matters have been settle (after the deadline for both matters..).. everybody though that's the end of the story, for those taken vss will just wait for the money by December and for those accepted the job will wait to go to the new office once everything has been settled here..

Just heard from one of my colleague who accepted the job offered by new management that they have decided to change the location of the new office.. initially they said the new office will be located somewhere in Sultan Ismail area which is near to our current office which is easy to access from everywhere.. and easy to get foods too.. but latest news updated by our GM yesterday was they have decided to move the new office to PJ uptown due to the rental is half cheaper then in town area.. so most of them who accepted the offer felt they have been cheated because the new management only announced the relocation after everybody have signed the letter.. and they couldn't change their mind and reject the offer, unless they resign..

It seems like we are (especially for those who accepted the job offered by them..) on the mercy of the new management and they can do whatever they like without considering the staff and the situation of us.. one very good example is.. initially they have liaised with one of the department in our office and after a few meetings and they decided to take over the whole department and even planned to move them to their office somewhere in September.. but.. guess what?? they changed their mind and at last they don't want the whole department.. one of my colleague from that department even told me that during the meeting the heat from the new management even told them 'you are save, after meeting me..' save mean 'you got a job'.. but finally thing just turns up the other way.. so.. I guess you guys can think the attitude of them towards us.. what a shame for such a big organisation simply said but without doing what they have said..

my new toy - ipod nano 8GB (black)

2008-10-14T12:07:00.002+08:00

Since my previous ipod can't function anymore.. so I have to look for another one.. I used ipod everyday when I am travel to work, running in the gym, travel around over the weekend.. so it has been part of my daily life.. so I must replaced one as soon as I can..

Visited the apple website and they have launched the 4th generation of nano somewhere beginning of last month.. it came out with 8GB and 16GB, and there are 8 colors available.. some of the colors like purple, orange and green are too outstanding for me.. definitely not my cup of tea.. from the website, I would prefer the black one which look elegant among all.. haha!!

I visited the ipod outlet and the new nano looks cool to me.. I like nano most because of the size which is easy to carry around especially in the gym.. the new one is even slimmer and lighter then the previous generations.. the price of 8GB is RM599 and for 16GB is RM799.. I would just go for the 8GB because it is still within my budget and I don't think I need that big capacity because my main purpose for ipod is for listening songs and not watching video or others.. so finally I got my new ipod..

One interesting thing about the new ipod is.. whenever I rotate the ipod while viewing photos, the photo will rotate automatically as well.. cool ha!! and the panel is much bigger then the previous one which is nice for viewing photos and videos.. anyway I am happy with my new ipod and I will take good care of it..

I have done a stupid thing - shower my ipod..

2008-10-14T11:54:00.002+08:00

I am really MCC(mong ca ca) on last Wednesday night.. guess what.. my ipod is inside the pocket of my short and I didn't realised that.. I washed the short.. and only noticed that when i touch something inside the pocket.. it is too late.. I try to on it but it failed.. I used fan to blow it.. and it can't function also.. so by no choice I just left it and hope it will be ok next morning after it have completely dry..

Can't really sleep well that because of the ipod.. in the morning the first thing I do is to try to on it.. but the ipod doesn't awake.. it still can't be on.. I really feel upset because of my mistake.. I decided to bring it to any apple outlet for them to check whether it can be repaired.. I brought it to one of the outlet and after explaining what I have done to my ipod and the guy told me in this case he don't encourage me to repair it because at the end the repairing cost might be same as the cost of a new ipod nano (8GB).. because most of the parts have to imported from US and I have to bear all the shifting cost.. so by no choice I have to say bye bye to the ipod which I have used for almost 2 years.. I will keep it nicely inside the container and let it rest in peace..

Mamma mia - ABBA

2008-10-09T12:11:00.007+08:00

I've been cheated by you and I think you know when

So I made up my mind, it must come to an end

Look at me now, will I ever learn?

I don't know how but I suddenly lose control

There's a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, now I really know,

My my, I could never let you go.

I've been angry and sad about the things that you do

I can't count all the times that I've cried over you

And when you go, when you slam the door

I think you know that you won't be away too long

You know that I'm not that strong.

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, even if I sayBye bye,

leave me now or nevermamma mia, it's a game we play

Bye bye doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go

Mamma mia, now I really know

My my, I could not have let you go

MAMMA MIA! musical - mania!!

2008-10-09T11:32:00.005+08:00

I've seen the advertisement of the musical of MAMA MIA! stage performance which organised by the star just right after I seen the movie.. since I the movie is so enjoyable.. I guess the musical would be definitely much more interesting.. but I know the pricing of the tickets will be expensive too.. ZZ told me somewhere last week that there are free tickets to win on Monday (6 Oct, 2008) by logging on into the start website.. wow!! can't wait the arrival of Monday.. am I lucky enough to win free tickets..??

I logging on into the star website on Monday morning and guess what.. there is a notice at the website announcing that 'Response to our ticket giveaway was overwhelming, with all the free tickets taken up.....' I am really disappointed seeing the notice.. and what make me more upset is the pricing of the tickets are really in the high-end to me.. so at that moment I tell myself just forget about the musical..

Yesterday one of my colleague went to buy the tickets for the Tier 1 category, she paid RM320 for one ticket after 20% discount (the discount will valid till 31 Oct, 2008) and she claims that the seats which are still available are not really nice beside that the Christmas and New Year's eve tickets are selling like a piece of hot cake.. so if I decided to go for the musical I better go get the tickets soon..

At my end, I still couldn't make up my mind although I know it may be a once in a lifetime experience for me.. well, I have to decide by this week..

big raya lunch with colleagues..

2008-10-08T14:26:00.002+08:00

Today is the big raya lunch with colleagues in office.. everybody contributed some money to buy foods and beverages and we will have the big lunch in pantry.. they have ordered the usual foods like satay, pizza, roti jala, fried bee-hon, KFC, ketupat, carrot cakes, fruits and drinks.. I have tried all the foods beside ketupat because not really like that.. to me, the best among all is the satay!! everybody seem like the satay very much and all gone in the flush.. haha!! actually the satay are ordered from kajang, no wonder so nice.. my next favorite is the carrot cake.. it is nice not so sweet and oily.. and some of them started to find out where to order and want to order again for next occasion.. all foods are finished beside the ketupat and fried bee-hon.. some of them packed those left and bring home for dinner tonight..

This will be the last raya lunch we had because after the merger only left some of the colleagues with the new management.. happy for gathered together and eat but deep inside the heart sure have a bit of sad feeling.. I heard the person in charge of funds we still have some money left and we will try to organise another farewell party/lunch before everybody leave the company.. expecting the farewell lunch will be somewhere next month..

u have to decide today.. Yes or No!

2008-10-07T16:51:00.002+08:00

Today!! 7th Oct 2008.. we have to decide whether to accept the job offered by the new management.. since we got the letter on the friday before Raya holiday.. everybody already started to gossip here and there and guessing who will take it and who will not.. the gossip is still in office till today.. I bet the guessing will only end after today.. haha!!

They even have the prediction list who are gonna to accept it.. most of them guessed I am in the acceptance list.. haha!! I will give them a surprised when they come to work tomorrow.. still have a few more still haven't make up their mind when I saw them just now.. another 30 minutes to go before the office close today.. honestly it is quite a hard decision to make because from the letter and briefing given by them, it seems like they are expecting a lot from us in term of job performance.. and make them worried that they may can't cope with the new management in term of work and the new environment.. I told them no one can guarantee what will happen in the new job, if you have no choice then just accept it.. take it as a challenge.. try your best to fulfill them.. if worst.. then look for something new..

Human are affair to change if they are in the comfort zone for too long.. we just couldn't work out the courage to change from what we are having now.. we are worried for something which is uncertain.. when the chance is here for us.. just grab it before it gone..

I am not sure how many of the 30% will accept the offer.. I just wish that they won't regret with their decision.. once u have decided, just don't keep on thinking what will happen next.. get yourself ready for the new environment.. I still remember one of my ex-colleague told me before, 'do you think it is interesting to go to a new environment to meet new people and work together..?'.. when the time she told me that I was like.. Huh!! what is in her mind?? but when I think back now.. she is definitely right.. we should think that way when we are going for a new environment to work and meeting new colleagues..

lunch with VVIP today..

2008-10-06T15:59:00.002+08:00

I am one of the 30% who have offered a job by the new company which we will going to merge with.. they have arranged a lunch appointment today for us to meet up the VVIP in the company, for us to know them and also for them to know us.. I bet knowing each other in dining table with foods is a very good idea ha..

We arrived the place on time and those VVIP arrived 15 minutes later.. shaking hand and introducing ourselves one by one.. then proceed to the dining table for lunch.. everyone on the dining table having smiling face.. I guess that is manners.. the VVIP trying to break the ice and asking us the current situation of our current company and at the same time he does explain to us the working culture and expectation from the company.. he does briefed us the process of the merger and the predicted completion date of the process..

The foods are served.. we have soup first before the main course then fruits at the end.. coffee or tea to close the lunch.. nothing much to say about the foods, just average.. I just took a little of rice but I was so damn full when I walked out from the dining hall.. I was thinking the foods tasted average is it because of the environment, the person we are having lunch with or really because the foods are just so so..

Everyone left the place with full stomach.. haha!! but I don't think anyone of us are really enjoying the foods because we have to decide whether to accept or not by tomorrow.. even if they serve us dragon meat.. I don't think we will enjoy that also..

Anyway, it is a good chance to see and learn how those VVIP people talk and social.. I do learn learn a bit.. even if you have nothing to say.. just smile and smile.. sure it is ok one.. haha!!

getting clearer direction now for my job..

2008-10-04T09:47:00.003+08:00

Well.. the merger process has been dragged for so long and finally we heard from the new management regarding the arrangement of staff lately.. as what most of us have expected they won't take all the current staff and the decision is they will only take 30% of the current staff and the remaining 70% will be offered VSS..

The 30% who got offered a job by the new management have received the letter of offer from the new management just before raya holiday and they have to make up their mind whether to accept the offer by 6 Oct, just after the raya holiday..they have to use the raya holiday to think and come back with the decision on the first day back to work(so bad ha.. at least let people enjoying their holiday and give the letter after raya..) a lot of information seems really unclear in the letter especially what most of them concerning is whether the new management will accept their housing loan with the current company or not else they have to transfer the loan to otehr bank where the legal fees will cost them a lot.. another issue is in the letter never mention which section/unit they will report to.. only state that report to HR on the first day.. so all of them have no idea what are they gonna to do in the new job..beside that some of them have been downgraded their designation and there is no salary adjustment.. the worst thing is their annual leave has been cut off 8 days a year.. another worst thing is if there is any question in the offer, the HR will come to meet them on the 6 oct morning and they have to decide in the afternoon..can you believe that..??!! if they don't accept the offer then they will pay VSS.. money or job.. u choose..

The remaining 70% group have mix feeling too.. for those who are close to 55 years old should be happily accept the VSS and enjoy their life or finding other easier job.. but for those middle age, they may have problem to find another job due to the poor job market now.. unless they don't mind to get lower pay.. so I am sure it is hard time for them..

There will be 2 more months that our current company will officially close down.. I can see that everybody is sad after spending so many years working together and built up the friendship in the same working environment.. I am sure there will be lot of farewell lunch or dinner for the next 2 months.. I just hope I can still hear joy and laughter in the office in the remaining 2 months althought I know it is not easy for everyone at this time..

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY AND ALWAYS TAKE GOOD CARE..

Mamma Mia! The Movie

2008-09-29T14:06:00.002+08:00

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life Ooo.. see that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen.... this song is still spinning in my mind even after I have stepped out from the cinema.. "Dancing Queen" is the biggest hit single recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA in 1976..

Mamma Mia! The Movie is a musical film based on the title of ABBA's hit 'Mama Mia'.. seen the preview of the movie and definitely can't miss this one with all the ABBA's songs and beautiful scenery on small Greek island Kalkairi.. I am not really a big fan of ABBA (I am still a small kid during ABBA's time and have to thanks my sister who used to play ABBA's songs at home..) I am quite familiar with their songs beside 'Dancing Queen', my another favorite is 'Take a chance on me'.. and others like 'Mama Mia', 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!', 'Money, Money, Money' and 'Honey Honey' where I can sing a bit of each of them.. haha!! most of their songs are in pop or disco, so we can still hear 'Dancing Queen' and 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!' in disco today.. so can you imagine how popular are their songs.. beside those I mentioned above, they do have some ballads like 'I have a dream', 'Thank you for the music' and the very sad 'The Winner Takes It All'..

Back to the movie.. beside all those lovely ABBA's songs and the beautiful scenery of the island.. those actress and actors in the movie did a great job in acting and singing.. surprisingly Meryl Streep can sing and dance quite well in the movie.. it is fun to see her and another two friends - Rosie and Tanya performed 'Dancing Queen' and 'Super Trouper' with the 70's costumes which are really 'Yeh'!! haha.. I like her expression when she sing 'The winner takes it all', the lyric of the song is so touching and you may cry if you have just heart broken with someone.. her two friends are cute and funny too, especially Rosie sing 'Take a chance on me' on the dining table.. haha.. so damn funny and I like the song so much..!!

The three male actors did a great job too especially the funny Bill who show his butt to Rosie.. I never know Pierce Brosnan can sing so well.. and at the final part their 70's costumes are so funny and their high heels are killing us.. can't stop laughing..

We really enjoyed the movie a lot and all the audiences seems like it so much too from all the laughter in the cinema.. you must go if you like ABBA.. no worries if you are too young for ABBA's songs.. I am sure you will like one or two or even all the songs in the movie after the show.. maybe you will like me, the 'Dancing Queen' still spinning in my mind after the movie.. haha!!

my 5 days in Siem Reap & Angkor..

2008-09-25T15:10:00.012+08:00

Angkor Wat
South Gate - Angkor Thom

Bayon

Apsara

Ta Pohm

Bekhang

Old Market - Siem Reap

The Blue Pumpkin

Khmer Kitchen Restaurant

Finally I have visited the place that I have wanted to go for so long - Siem Reap and the beautiful Angkor..

Basically here are my 5 Days free and easy in Siem Reap :-

D1 - arrived in Siem Reap at 8am local time, check in to B&B, breakfast, hiding tuk-tuk (the driver name is Tip) to visit Tonle Sap lake, have dinner near Angkor Wat and expecting for sunset, started to rain and back to B&B without sunset, shower and rest..

D2 - woke up 430am and Tip waiting us at B&B at 5am and heading to Angkor Wat for sunrise.. finally I saw Angkor Wat in front of me (the sky is still very dark because only 530am).. everybody standing beside the lake and expecting the sunrise and reflection of Angkor Wat in the lake.. again.. again.. rain is coming.. I opened umbrella and others are with umbrella or rain coat.. rain getting heavier and no choice have to go inside the temple to get cover.. entering Angkor Thom by the impressive South gate.. the brilliant Bayon appreared in front of me and at that moment my tears almost wanna fall by the beautiful Bayon.. spend the rest of the day visiting other temples in Angkor Thom and back to B&B almost 7pm.. damn tired..

D3 - second day to Angkor Thom and we are visiting the big route today.. guess what.. it is raining since 6am and we are visiting the temples with umbrella.. haha!! the most impressive temple is Ta Pohm, because of the giant trees grown on top of the temples and the movie 'Tomb Raider' by Angelina was filmed here years ago.. the final stop is Bekhang, the temple on top of the hill which need 20 minutes track to go up to the hill.. we are expecting sunset again but due to cloudy sky and no sunset again.. no doubt the view from the top of the temple is great and we manage to see Angkor Wat from here.. back to B&B and again.. very tired..

D4 - we decided not going to Angkor Thom again although our pass due today.. free and easy day!! I have survey some nice foods to eat in Siem Reap and plan to go for that today.. we went to old market for souvenirs.. frens bought some key chairs, pillow covers, silks, wood curving and so on.. I bought myself an oil paint with the face of Bayon and a wood curving of 'Apsara' .. the prices are all in USD so we are getting very tired to bargain in order to pay for the price that we wanted and mostly we manage to bargain 40-50% lesser.. went for afternoon tea in one of the famous cafe 'The Blue Pumpkin' , I tried the carrot cake and banana yogurt shake, both are yummy especially the carrot cake is so juicy.. yum! yum! next we went for a massage which recommended in travel book, the place is 'Bodia Spa' .. the place is so relaxing and beautiful but the price is quite high also, we took the package of body massage for 90 minutes cost USD34, but we got 25% for the second person.. well, the massage is not really great if compared to Bangkok with the price we can get better service.. our last stop is to have dinner in the most recommended restaurant 'Khmer Kitchen Restaurant'.. we order the popular cheese bake pumpkin with mushroom and chicken, Khmer curry, Shrimp soup and garlic fried fish and of course the famous Angkor Beer.. we really enjoyed the food so much and I can say that this is the most delicious foods we had in Siem Reap.. walk back to B&B with happy stomach.. haha!! packing our bag and settle our bill because we are leaving at 835am tomorrow morning..

D5 - woke up at 6am, shower and breakfast.. car waiting us at 715am to send us to airport, the airport is very quiet and not so many passengers in the terminal.. keeps looking back photos taken in my camera and I know definitely I will miss Angkor and Siem Reap very much.. it's time to go home.. bye Siem Reap and Angkor..

what a busy September to me..

2008-09-25T12:05:00.005+08:00

It's been few weeks that I didn't write anything in my blog.. not that I am lazy.. this month is really a busy month for me..

Firstly, due to the merger process kicked off in my company.. so there are tons and tons of thing need to be sorted before the due date of the merger.. estimated will be by beginning of December, so within the next two months all the thing must sort out properly before hand over to the new management.. it is quite a tedious job especially the database migration and user testing process will need lot of time to investigate and finding solutions.. honestly, the process is not fun at all.. and lot of cooperation from users are required in order to make thing goes smooth.. appreciated their participation and patient..

Beside that I was away for a week for my Siem Reap trip in the middle of the month.. I can only use 'brilliant' to describe the beauty of Angkor.. the most impressive is the Bayon with all the four sides smiling face every corner of the temple.. of course the highlight is still Angkor Wat, getting a bit disappointed because the steps are closed and we are not allowed to climb up to the towels and renovation works seem going on there.. another disappointment was the raining days let us missed the sunrise and sunset from the temples.. but we do seen the beautiful reflection of Angkor Wat in the lake which turn up really beautiful especially in the raining morning..

There will be two days public holiday next week for Hari Raya.. so it seems like I have to keep rushing my work in the remaining days in September.. work hard in September and expecting a more relax October ahead.. haha!!

Not really know about this movie.. but was quite bored last night so decided to go for this movie since got no much other choices.. I never seen the trailer of this movie and have no idea what is that really about.. but I guess from the title of the movie is something to about space and science fiction..

What I would like to say about the movie is 'BORED'!! firstly the movie is nothing to do with space.. it is a science fiction movie but it does not show much about science innovation and the whole movie is more about how the journey of sending Aurora to New York.. in fact, the journey doesn't seem so interesting as well.. it was a good beginning when Toorop picked up Aurora and Rebbecca and I expect more interesting and exciting stuffs will happen.. but its not really as what I have though..

One thing to highlight here is the role for Michelle Yeoh is much better then the one in 'The Mummy 3'.. at least the role here allows her to express more of her feeling about Aurora instead of just fighting.. I like her role as Rebbecca here..

Saw one of my gym friend after the movie.. he commended the movie is bored and he almost fall into sleep.. so we both will not recommend this movie to friends.. haha!!

is that TF pavilion that bad??

2008-09-06T09:54:00.003+08:00

Lately I have seen someone posted a complain about his free trial tour in True Fitness Pavilion in his blog.. I am really interested to read the post because I am one of the TF member and most of the time I visit the one in pavilion.. and what I would like to say here are based on my own experiences so far in TF pavilion..

Firstly he is complaining the membership consultant, about his knowledge for the procedure of free trial and being not really flexible to make the potential customers happy.. What I want to say here is before I join TF in pavilion, back to somewhere in January this year, the consultant who gave us the De-tour in the gym is alright, he manage to explain the function and feature of some of the machines quite well and try his best to explain the agreement to make us understand, beside that we do have some extra requirements and he always trying his best to fulfill our requests.. so I have no complains for his services provided.. by the way he is no longer working in TF pavilion.. Anyway I do not know the level of professional of the current membership consultants there but honestly I can see that the turn over rate of the membership consultant is quite high and it could be possible that the services provided are getting worst than before.. but honestly some of the membership consultant are really young and I believe the level of professional in their job are to be judged.. or the leader of the consultant should work out some plans to train them in order to provide better services to potential and current members..

Another issue that he is complaining is the padlock.. I was really surprised that he is complaining about this and honestly I don't see this is the problem of the gym.. I bet we should check the facilities in a gym before we start the trial.. in TF there is no padlock provided (the lockers in FF are attached with locks..), and in TF (beside Hartamas) there is no towel provided.. it is common sense that we ask and find out first before we go.. and I am quite surprised that he doesn't have any friend who are current TF pavilion member or who been done the trial in TF pavilion before, a bit unbelievable right??

Honestly, I felt a bit annoying when I just started my gym in TF pavilion because I have to bring my own padlock and towel, and also no soft drink provided.. beside that I have make complains about the classes and instructors in the gym.. I do complains the air-con is too cold and so on.. so far, some of the complains have been slowly improved.. I can't really compared my previous gym to the current one because I believe there is always something good and bad in one gym.. the purpose of my post here is just to tell my experiences in TF pavilion so far.. I always believed we should go there and experience ourselves instead of getting feed backs from others..

HAPPY GYM!! STAY FIT!!

my new toy - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500/520

2008-09-02T14:53:00.003+08:00

I have decided to get a new digital camera before my trip to Siem Reap.. didn't really go survey for the brand because I known what brand I wanna get.. just asked the price from two shops for comparison..

Finally I got the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500/520 .. I heard few good feed backs from friends about their Panasonic Lumix camera and even the photos taken from their camera turn up nicely too.. even the fellow in the camera shop who I known her also recommend Panasonic Lumix because of the Leica Len used for the camera..

The package that I paid for the camera come with a 2G Panasonic card and a mini tripod (really mini size..), a year international warranty and two years local warranty from the shop.. I still haven't really have chance to play with the camera and snap some photos, because nothing special for me to snap.. but so far I am quite happy with the touch screen LCD feature which is cool..!!

Key Features:
- 3.0" Touch Screen LCD - Easy and Intuative operation
- 10.1 Megapixel Camera for high quality images
- Touch AF/AE & Auto Tracking - A Focus Frame Opens on the Spot you touch. If the subject touched on the LCD moves, the camera automatically tracks it and adjusts focus & exposure.
- 25mm LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT LENS with 5x Optical Zoom
- Intelligent Auto Mode - Includes Mega O.I.S, Intelligent ISO, Face Detection & Intelligent Scene Selector

ikea.. after so long

2008-09-02T13:43:00.002+08:00

My last visit to ikea was definitely more then a year ago.. the main reason is because it is far away from my house and secondly is no matter how time you go over the weekend sure have to line up to go into the car park.. sometime very irritating..

Friend asking me to go ikea with him yesterday, he wanna go to survey the latest design of the furniture's and interior for his new condo.. I bet most of us go there to steal the ideas instead of buying stuffs there, especially those big stuffs like cabinet and dining set..

We are there around 3pm and line up to enter the car park once we turn into the path from the main road.. it took us about 15 mins to enter the car park and the sky is so damn dark.. heavy rain is coming..

The first thing attracted me is the sofa cover that displayed.. it is the type of sofa that I am having now.. the cover is in black base which painted with tress, flowers, birds and so on.. the feeling is 'jungle'.. I am getting very excited and wanna get it for my sofa.. but it is sold out.. sien..!! I wanna get a bookcase because getting more books at home and my table is full of books, look so messy.. I manage to find one bookcase (the displayed item) which is not bad in term of space and price.. I would like to get the white one which is RM70 cheaper, again.. no stock!! so I have to pick the black brown color which cost me extra.. so sien.. beside that I get a small side table to put my hi-fi set.. I have attached by a rug, new product, the price is affordable, the size is just nice for my living hall and the color is nice too.. I get really confused should I buy it..?? asking my friend about his opinions, asking myself.. walking here and there.. ahhhhh.... but finally I bought it..

At last, my ikea trip caused me RM300+ for three items.. and my friend who suggested to go back with empty hands.. haha!! I bet after add in the three extra items at home, sure my home will look nicer, especially after the books been organised in the bookcase..

Clubbing.. after so long

2008-09-02T11:48:00.004+08:00

There are some parties been organised over the Merdeka long weekend.. friends have been asking me to join them for the party on the Merdeka's eve few weeks ago.. I didn't promise them because not really in the party mood lately.. I still remembered my last party was on the 2007's eve which was a great one..

The merdeka party was great.. we reached there around 1am because of the road blocks for the count down around the town.. we got to find alternative ways to go to the club.. friend keep calling and asking where are we and telling me the crowd is great and everybody is so high!! finally we reached there and it was so damn pack.. RM50 with 1 drink, I have chosen the Vocka Lime which turns up very tasteless, like drinking water.. yak!! the dance floor was so pack and it was so hot inside the club.. saw lot of friends and friend's friends there.. busying with Hi and hugs around.. have to social a bit..

The music is so damn great.. it is by DJ Louis T (the guy with red polo in the picture) who are quite famous and well known.. I got most of his collections in my ipod for my running in gym.. the highlight of that night are 'Touch My Body' which turn ups very sexy and everybody seems so high when the song is on air.. another one is 'Raining Man' which my friend enjoy it so much.. I have missed my favorite 'Mercy' by Duffy.. It is favorite track in DJ Louis collections and I found the song is damn sexy.. friends said the song played before I reach there.. Aiya!! I like the song 'Happy People' by Offer Nissim where he plays it almost the end of the party..

Party over at 3am, and I really enjoyed myself there with the music and crowd, especially dance along with friends was fun!! after party.. can't wait to go home for a good shower(cause too sticky..) and head to bed.. next day wanna go gym for Body Pump (after hi-tea on Saturday afternoon).. haha!!

MV: 王菲 - 但願人長久

2008-08-29T15:10:00.002+08:00

Mid Autumn festival is on 14 September, another 2 more weeks.. when talking about Mid Autumn festival, we all will thing of moon cakes and lanterns.. there are many different type of moon cakes in the market now, and we even can get it almost 2 months ago.. I noticed that, it getting more expensive every year but people still like to eat.. maybe we can only eat once a year, so we don't mind to pay a little bit extra..

When taking about Mid Autumn festival, I will remember a song from Faye Wong - 但願人長久.. it is a cover version of the legend singer 鄧麗君.. I never heard the version from 鄧麗君 before Faye, so I still like the Faye version.. the melody and lyric of the song is so smooth and it is really nice to listen this song on the Mid Autumn night while looking at the moon..

明月幾時有把酒問青天
不知天上宮闕今夕是何年
我欲乘風歸去唯恐瓊樓玉宇
高處不勝寒起舞弄清影何似在人間

轉朱閣低綺戶照無眠
不應有恨何事長向別時圓

人有悲歡離合月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全但願人長久
千里共嬋娟

我欲乘風歸去唯恐瓊樓玉宇
高處不勝寒起舞弄清影何似在人間

轉朱閣低綺戶照無眠
不應有恨何事長向別時圓
人有悲歡離合月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全但願人長久
千里共嬋娟

He misses us..

2008-08-26T11:38:00.003+08:00

Angie, Jon, ZZ and I used to go to our favorite 'Yong Tau Fu' stall in Imbi quite often last time, usually we will go there for our dinner after gym on Sunday.. Indirectly we we have built a quite good friendship with the guy in the stall and we have gave him a lovely Chinese name 'Siew Bee'.. this name is taken from one of the movie by 'Shu Qi', of course he doesn't look like Shu Qi, but just feel that the name really suite him, haha..!!

It's been quite a while (maybe 6 months) that 4 of us didn't visit his stall together.. the reason is since we have changed to new gym, usually ZZ will leave early once she has done her classes.. Angie has announced that Sunday is her gym off day.. Jon will absent sometime.. and I won't go there alone..

I was there with another friend last night, 'Siew Bee' saw me with another friend, and he asked where is the rest? from his eyes can tell that he is a bit disappointed because didn't see the rest.. he is doubt and asked is it we all fight?? haha.. He likes to chat with us when all of us are there and every time he looks so happy when we jokes around.. well, I told him that because the timing is not right, but we will find a day to visit him together..

It is nice to know someone miss us.. It is great to know we can make someone happy!!

WALL.E (Love it!!)

2008-08-25T11:52:00.008+08:00

This is the tiny-cleaner robot 'M-O', look at his eyes when WALL.E dirty the floor.. damn cute!!

This is the most romantic part.. holding hands and the beautiful sunset view.. haha..!!

I just love this movie..!! all characters are so cute, entertaining and charming in the movie.. no doubt the cutest guy here is still WALL.E

Basically the story is about, WALL.E is the only waste-disposal robot left in the earth, his daily duty is to compress those rubbish into square boxes and arrange them accordingly.. he got a home with lot of stuffs he collected from the rubbish, he even got a TV and tape player, and his favorite show is a the musical 'Hello, Dolly!' especially the moment when the actor and actress holding their hands. This teaches him emotions, emphasizing the act of holding hands, which he interprets to be an act of showing love. With no one to hold hands with, WALL-E is forlorn.

One day he met Eve, a feminine probe-like robot sent from one of the cruise-ships - the Axiom. WALL.E falls in love with her on the first sight.. Eve mission completed after she has found a plant given by WALL.E, she is sending back to the Axion, and WALL.E rush to the space ship and get himself on board and finally both arrived in the Axion..

WALL.E and Eva didn't talk much in the movie and most of the time they will use their eye expressions to communicate to each other, and the result is damn funny.. and the highlight is the way WALL.E pronounced Eva's name.. EEEEEEEEve.. damn cute and funny!! it makes everyone in the cinema laugh, my friend who sit next to me laugh till so loud, haha!!

Beside WALL.E and Eva, another character that I like is the tiny cleaner 'M-O', the cleaning robot is damn cute and I like the way when he is cleaning WALL.E, his eye expression is so cute when he is blaming WALL.E make the place dirty and gave him more work to do..

Beside the cute and funny characters, this movie also deliver a message to us.. we must love our earth and try to save the trees.. if possible try to recycle things that we could.. else one day.. our earth may turn up like what we seen in the movie..

Highly recommended this movie to everyone.. I can said that this is one of my favorite movie of this year after the 'The Dark Night'..

Wow!! Jen is so Lovable..

2008-08-22T16:25:00.004+08:00

2008-08-22T15:49:00.003+08:00

Hey! Hey! You! You! Arvil.. you are too sexy for us.. (she does look sexy in this picture..)

Avril Lavigne is too sexy for Malaysian, so she is banned and her 29 August, 2008 concert is cancelled..!! I was laughing while reading this news in the stars website.. I was asking my colleagues and none of them think Avril should be categorised as sexy.. and we are wondering what the hell is the minister thinking about Arvil.. she is a damn good rocker.. if she is sexy then what is the word to describe Mariah Carey or Beyonce who are wearing bikini on the stage to performs?? really interested to know that..

We Are CUTE Family..!!

2008-08-21T14:47:00.003+08:00

I saw this collection of soft toys during last Christmas when I were shopping for Christmas presents for friends.. I still remembered my friend Angie keep saying that one of the soft toy, the blue one wit white tie (forth from the right..) looks like me because of the small eyes.. haha!!

Actually this 12 characters, each represent one horoscope.. mine is the bear with the blue fish on hand and one of my friend bought that one for my birthday.. but my favorite among all still the small eyes blue guy with white tie.. hehe..

2008-08-18T15:49:00.008+08:00

They went to the Bird nest again on Saturday to watch the 100M competition.. from the photos taken I bet she has noticed that someone have recognised her, so most of the time she just turned her face and try to hide in her boy friend shoulder and biking her nail.. haha!! even she is with big sun glasses and black dress, but Maggie - you still look lovely..!!

Maggie and Ole were appeared again to watch the swimming competition on last Friday, I bet she was not aware that someone has taken their photos..

we missed 'Red Cliff'..

2008-08-18T15:19:00.005+08:00

We have finished all the movies that we wanna watched during the summer blockbuster.. Overall, my favorite is still 'The Dark Night', talking about 'The Dark Night'.. this movie has spent 4 weeks No.1 in US Top 10 movie and gained the total of $471.5 million so far. ;The Dark Knight' passed the original 'Star Wars' ($461 million) and now stands as No. 2 on the all-time domestic charts, behind only 'Titanic' ($600.8 million).. Let's see whether it can break the record of 'Titanic' and become the No.1 on the all-time domestic charts..

We have noticed that we missed out one movie in our list - 'Red Cliff'.. actually we plan to watch it over last weekend but the show time of this movie only left the afternoon show in certain cinema only, due to the limited show time and we couldn't watch it in movie.. so by no choice we have to get a DVD and watch it at home.. I have heard mix feed backs from friends about the movie, so said dragged too long and some said it was nice.. I said.. let me watch first then I will tell you..

Miss HK 2008 VS Mr HK 2008

2008-08-15T14:51:00.007+08:00

Edelweiss Cheung, 22 has won Miss Hong Kong 2008 recently.. This 5'10" tall lady is the tallest Miss Hong Kong in history.. Since winning the title, further reports that have broken that Edelweiss is good friends with the elder sister of Mr Ronnie Wong JP, who was a member of the contest's judging panel, fuelling the rumours that the results were fixed..

I have watched of the vedio of Miss Hong Kong 2008, and honestly Edelweiss performance is not outstanding on that night and there are few other contestants (No.4 and No.7) who performed much better then her and I am sure either one of them are a much better choice then Edelweiss..

Michael Tsu has been selected as Mr. Hong Kong 2008 recently.. The 23-year-old winner had not caught the eye of the media as a potential winner, but he seemed to adopt an additional sparkle in his glance on the night and led in the mature group from the beginning, eventually taking top spot with a total score of 574 points.. To me, Michael is the most charming Mr. Hong Kong winner so far with his sunny boy look and he looks damn cute with the smile and sexy eyes..

testing week..

2008-08-13T15:03:00.002+08:00

I have not update my blog for almost a week because on last whole week I was busy with the new system testing in off-site, and the testing is from Monday to Friday and Sunday from 9-5pm.. basically have no time to update my blog.. for the testing, of coz we have found some problems on the first 2 days but thing getting smoother on the last few days.. but the users are getting very 'kan-cheong' when they encountered any problems during the testing and started to make noise to me.. they are so bad and making me feel 'Kan-cheong' also.. and make me stress, running here and there to find out solutions for them.. haha!! but nothing much i can do and have to calm and try to analyst to work out the solutions.. but thanks god we manage to solve the problems at the end and everybody happy!! haha..

There is another round of testing by end of this month.. i bet the testing gonna be less problems because most of the problems have been spotted and solved during the first testing..

why don't u express your love..?

2008-08-05T13:05:00.003+08:00

Lately my friend has falls into L that he just known in the gym few weeks ago.. he knows L through another friend - K who also is his gym's friend.. my friend has a strong felling to L after chatting with L and they (my friend, L and K) came out drinks and movie few times.. my friend senses that K who introduced L to him also have the felling on L and K even asked my friend how he thinks about L and he is interested in L.. and asking my friend's opinion.. guess what..?? my friend told K if he is interested then should do something to tell L his felling.. OMG!! I really wanna slap my friend after he told me that...

I questioned my friend what the hell is happen to him?? and why he goes to tell K to express his felling to L.. and he is not doing that to express his felling and love to L.. he couldn't give me the answer and just keep quiet.. I know he has been hurt in his previous relationship and he is lack of confident to start another relationship again.. but since he has met L that he likes and why not give himself a chance to try to express his love to L.. regardless L will accept it or not but at least he has tried.. no one will guarantee what is the result of every relationship.. don't tell me you will just stay away from relationship for the rest of your life..!! take it as a lesson to learn in every relationship and it all depends how you both handle it.. if fate is over and no one can really stop it..!!

Just heard from my friend last night that L and K is in relationship now.. huh... see K tried and he got it.. and guess what just after my friend told me that.. L appreared in front of us.. haha!! so damn scary..

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

2008-08-04T15:01:00.003+08:00

This is the third mummy's movie that I have seen and honestly this is the most disappointed one to me.. The trailer of the movie seems quite interesting that's why attracted most of us wanna watch the show.. but in reality, the show is lousy!!

I wondering what has gone wrong with this mummy.. in the previous two mummy's movie, the mummy is so powerful and when he awakes, it seems like the ground is shaking and the sky is falling.. really can feel the power of it.. but this one.. when the mummy awake, nothing special really happened and can't really feel the power of it.. even the lorry and horses chasing part also not that interesting..

They have invested a lot for making this movie and the result is really not impressive.. the yeti (iceman), the ice mountain collapse, the army fighting at the end all not impressive and something seems wrong with the graphic designs and animations of the movie.. I believe all can be better..

Nothing much to say about the actors in the movie, the lead still Branden Fraser who still look as charming as the previous two mummy's movie.. Rachel Weisz is no longer in this movie and honestly I like her much more then the actress who took over her role here.. I miss the beautiful Rachel Weisz.. Jet Li performance is ok, not impressive.. and again Michelle Yeoh disappointed me.. wondering why all the roles in recent movies are like that?? it just like a not important role and anyone can handle it..

I almost fall in sleep while watching this movie.. OMG!! I noticed that even my friend also look so sleepy after the movie.. so you can imagine how boring it is!! So you can miss this one.. haha!!

the interview II

2008-08-01T13:07:00.003+08:00

There is a merger process in my current company, initially the new management suppose to come in by first of September but due to some law issue the process maybe delay till October or even end of the year..

People from the new management has visited us and discuss with all the bosses to find out more about those system that we are using now and to see what system they will take and what to leave aside.. so basically they are headache is the data migration from our current system to their system, as you know data migration is not something easy, especially the way the system store the data in the database.. I can predict that I will will crazy busy with data migration soon..

Beside that, everyone in the office are most concern in whether the new management will take them along or not?? well.. most of them asked my big boss and she don't have the answer too.. they even ask the people from the new management and they can't answer it as well.. what they said is in time being we just focus in data migration and others we will take later.. this answer even make them getting more worried..

Two guys from IT and a lady from asset management came to see me yesterday.. basically it is like an interview.. they wanna find out more about me and what is my tasks in the office and also my knowledge and working experience.. one funny thing is.. they even asked in future I would like to focus more into which area in IT, networking, project, support or so on.. well it sounds like they are trying find out where to put me into their IT teams.. Overall the conversation is going very well.. I try to relax and answering their questions in a relax mood..

I told my colleague about the interview and she told me that I am lucky because I am one of the selected people that they invited for interview.. hopefully what she said is correct.. so can I ask for increment of my salary from my new boss.. haha!!

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

2008-07-30T18:23:00.002+08:00

This is not in my list.. I don't really like the look of Hellboy, his face, his color, his body and the pair of ugly honks, just Yak!! but at least I decided to watch after heard good feedback from friends who watched it and even the reviews in newspaper seems ok too..

Nothing much to expect for the story of the movie.. what I am expecting is the special effects like the monsters they have created in the movie.. I saw the tree monster during the preview which is really impressive, it is huge in size.. but not really powerful.. haha!! Have to mention here, at the final part the awaken of the golden army is brilliant.. they are really fighter, they will assembling themselves after they have been coop into pieces.. so basically they won't die.. they will only can be turn off.. scary..

One funny thing in the movie is everybody seems falling in love here.. beside Liz is having baby and Hellboy gonna become a father.. Abe Sapien has falling in Love with Princess Nuala as well.. Hellboy and Abe Sapien get suffered because of love, so both of them drinking beers and listening to love song.. haha!! that's really human instinct..

Overall it is an entertaining movie.. if you found 'The Dark Night' is boring then I am sure you will like this one... simple story and less talking.. with more actions and more monsters around.. haha..

The Dark Night

2008-07-28T14:17:00.007+08:00

The 'Joker' which played by the late Health Ledger is the most outstanding role in the movie, he even scared you while he is talking..

I saw some good reviews of this movie in newspaper and this movie hit No.1 in US blockbuster for the second week.. but on the other hand, those friend who have watched this movie gave a so-so or bad review of it.. and most of them complained that Batman talk too much in the movie.. haha!! is it Batman not suppose to talk beside saving people life..??

My conclusion is.. I like this movie!! to me it is a good movie.. it shows that Batman is also a human being after he took off his Batman outfit.. Batman does get injured (like biting by dogs.. haha!!) and not a unbeatable super hero.. personally I quite like the actor Christian Bale as Batman, he does have the smart and charming look and he does a great job in the movie too.. wondering why most my friends said he is not good looking..?? but to me he is, not to say good looking but he is more into charming..!!

The most outstanding role in the movie.. no doubt is the Joker which played by the late Heath Ledger (who died in January 22 this year and prescription drug overdose at age 28).. his acting is brilliant in the movie, not to say his scary makeup but the way he talks will make you feel scared as well, especially when he said 'why you are so serious..??' and started to cut the people lip.. yak!! yak!! Heath is a great actor, for those who have watched 'Brokeback Mountain' sure will agreed with my point.. such a waste that he finished his life at so young age..

Another thing that friend talking about is the Batman's car.. all said very ugly.. if compared to those previous Batman's cars, no doubt this is an ugly one.. its more like a tank then luxury car which Batman used to drive before.. but on the other hand I like the car because it looks more solid then those luxury one.. opss.. another complain from friends is the main actress is not pretty, well.. I have to agreed with this point.. haha!!!!

Overall it is a good movie for me.. I am ok with too much talking in the movie because they are not talking nonsense.. oh ya!! before I forgot, they do said the movie is too long as for 2.5 hours.. I do saw a guy still sleeping when the show is finished even the light has turned on in the cinema.. haha!! hopefully you are not gonna be like him while watching the show..

what an unlucky Friday 25Jul2008..

2008-07-28T11:42:00.002+08:00

25 July 2008 was really an unlucky day for me at work.. I was in our office off site (which mean the place for our office operations if there is a disaster happened..) since early morning to setup the testing environment for coming testing in August with vendor.. but damn!! there are lots of problem we encountered, one after another.. till at the end we couldn't complete and have to go back and continue it this week..

Firstly, we encountered the USB tokens that we bought from supplier are not the correct type.. OMG!! we have got it few months back and no one realised it is not the correct format until we wanna test it.. I was so damn angry and ask my colleague in office to check out with the supplier.. and they promised to issue us the correct one by today.. hopefully no delay else its gonna delay the setup process again..

Second problem.. we can't login into the system after the new software applied in the system.. OMG!! this one is even more headache.. we been tried to trace the problem but still couldn't find the reason behind.. we both getting frustrated, especially me.. its gonna be a very tedious job if need to re-do the whole process.. finally we manage to solve it by the help from vendor.. thanks god!!

third problem.. after we manage to log in then we noticed that the new patches that given by vendor having problem.. this is really ridiculous.. usually they will test the patches before they release it to us.. but what happen this time.. well, again they promise will email the fixes over the weekend...

Well.. this three problems drag us till almost 7pm that day.. I was damn tired and couldn't make it to my yoga class.. so I just back to office and rest because have to attend friend's birthday party in one of the pub.. mentally and physically tired.. can't really drink much that night and not in the mood to dance also.. my mind just thinking to leave and go home for a hot shower and sleep..

I wish I can fly away..

2008-07-22T16:15:00.003+08:00

Part of the Himalayas in Nepal near Kathmandu.. can you see the beauty and feel the peaceful of it?? (photo taken on insight the aircraft on our way back to KL from Nepal, Nov 2003)

If I have a pair of wings.. I wish I can fly away from here.. fly away from the place which given me a lot of suffers especially mentally and make me so fragile.. even causing my body feeling so weak.. Where would I wanna fly to.. I would like to fly to Nepal.. one of the holy land in earth which surrounding by Himalayas (the highest mountain range in the world).. I have seen the beauty and peaceful of the mountains on my previous trip.. sure I can find my mentally and physically freedom there.. a peaceful mind and stronger body is what I am looking forward now..

I don't think I have the ability to climb to the peak of Everest in my current life.. so I just have to dream of having a pair of strong wings and flying to there.. I know I am silly but at least I have this dream.. a silly dream..

Bad things happened lately..BLESS ME..

2008-07-22T15:29:00.004+08:00

when we are lost we need someone to give us energy and guidance.. leading us to the right path in order to see the light of our live again.. (photo taken in Kathmandu, Nepal back in Nov 2003)

So much bad things happened lately to me.. It really makes me feel so down and depressed.. and due to the feeling of depressed my sore throat and cough has not been fully recover even after a week.. finished all the medicines given by doctor.. controlling what I am eating, mostly no chili and no ice drinks.. but still the thing won't go away from me.. it really makes me PISS OFF and I started to eat chili, fried foods and ice drinks regardless the pain and suffers, since I have been a good boy but it is not helping, so I don't bother anymore.. let it pain and let me cough.. friends said I am like giving up myself!! but I am not.. I just feel piss off and wanna challenge (or my friend said torture) myself, haha.. I went for second doctor and started the medicines again.. hopefully this round will help.. BLESS ME..!!

I got an offer of new job somewhere beginning of last week.. everything seems so smooth during the final interview and I am sure I will get the offer.. but who knows.. I missed it due to the urgency of the new position and they can't wait me to report to work in September and insist me to start in mid of August which really impossible because of the situation of my current job.. I just don't want things to be left half way and leave.. some friends said just go and don't care so much.. but.. but.. it just not the way I handle things, not try to be professional.. just wanna be responsible.. when I think back now, of coz I feel wasted of the chance but indeed.. I know I still can survive with my current job although it is a hard time in my current company.. BLESS ME AGAIN..!!

The worst one happened on last Saturday night while I am crossing the road in front of Lot 10 around 1am after movie.. I bet you all know it is a one way direction now but once I step my foot to cross a motorbike hit me from my back (opposite direction..) WTF!! it is a one way road.. WTF with the motorbike doing..?? the two fucking malay boys on the bike and just looking at me, not even say sorry.. since thing happened in the flash I was totally unconscious and mind is stop functioning.. I feel pain on my face because hit by the fucking helmet and my right lap.. I just said this is a one way road, why they came from opposite direction..??) and the two BABI malays just said they want used short cut and then just left not even with a fucking sorry!! I was so lucky because I didn't fall.. else will be getting more serious.. I was standing there for about 10 mins and couldn't move because of the pain but at last I still manage to walk.. I didn't sleep well whole night partly because of the pain on my lap, but mainly is due to the worried of my leg whether I still can go for my yoga and gym.. haha!! the pain is still there in next morning but no swollen.. I still manage to walk, just it will get more painful when I wanna bend my knee especially going up and down of staircases.. I didn't go for doctor because I don't know which one to go for..?? some said go for x ray, some said chinese doctor, some said bones specialist.. so damn many ideas but make me so damn confusing... back to work on Monday although leg is still pain while walking.. finally go to see the doctor for his advise.. he said no need x ray and just something to do with the muscle and veins.. gave me some gel to massage and some medicines to release the pain.. and one more thing he highlighted.. no gym and no exercise at least one week..!!! ahhhh... one week no gym.. so damn boring.. anyway I have decided to go gym but not doing any cardio and classes.. just focus on my upper body.. better then nothing ha!! BLESS ME AGAIN.. AND AGAIN..!!!

Went to temple during lunch yesterday and it is 'Guan Ying festival' day.. pray with my heart to ask for the 'Guan Ying' to bless me and to bring me good luck and protect me.. manage to spoke to the person in charge there and she advised me not to be too depressed and talk to 'Guan Ying' what I want to do.. I talked and pray.. mentally I feel release after the pray and communication with 'Guan Yin'.. there are free vegetarian meals provided in the temple and lot of prayer enjoying their meal after the praying, I do enjoyed the meal too..

I really hope the good luck is coming to me, I had enough of bad things lately.. I will stay strong and face the situation now and try to fix each of them all the way..

Journey to the Center of the Earth

2008-07-21T14:00:00.003+08:00

The trailer of the movie seems exciting.. so for sure we won't miss this one.. We didn't go to the 3D version and a bit regretted because we should go for the 3D version since a lot of parts in the movie is very exciting and I am sure it will be lot of fun with 3D version.. especially the roller coaster part.. maybe I should go for the 3D version later..

The feedback of the movie is 'Mixed'.. one of my friend said it is just like a kid's movie and some said it is an exciting movie.. to me I will say it is an exciting movie and I enjoy the movie.. my favorite part in the movie is the roller coaster part and the way they shooting this part is just like we are sitting in the roller coaster.. that's why I am sure it gonna be very exciting in 3D version.. beside that the fishes which try to attach them in the sea and the dinosaurs (sea monster) in the sea are damn exciting too.. the T-Rex is less exciting because it has been appeared in so many movie.. haha..

While watching the movie, I have the feeling like we are actually playing computer game, the three roles in the movie are just like moving from one stage to another and they can't predict what they will face in each stage..

Overall, it is an entertaining movie and it is really suit for a whole family to watch the movie together and I am sure the kids will have lot of questions to ask while watching the movie.. haha..

recycle / reusable bag

2008-07-15T09:10:00.002+08:00

Do you guys notice that more people are carrying those green or brown recycle/reusable bag for their grocery shopping lately..?? I have noticed that when I was in pasar malam on sunday night.. those who are carrying recycle/reusable bag are mostly aunties who went to pasar malam to buy their grocery or foods.. not even aunties, I saw a few guys carrying that too.. that's a good sign.. recycle/reusable bag are for everyone regardless your sex and age as long as it is usable for you.. I even seen a guy use recycle/reusable bag in the gym.. really good sign!!

I ask my friend to carry that for his pasar malam shopping but he told me that he needs plastic bags for his rubbish at home.. when I think back, true also.. dilemma ha.. how to decide.. however we should be encouraged to carry recycle/reusable bag because that's one of the way we can reduce the usage of plastic bag and to protect our earth.. get a recycle/reusable bag and use it whenever you think it is usable.. I am sure if everyone trying to do that sure we will reduce the usage of plastic bag.. then we can live in a healthier and better world..!!

Miss Universe 2008 - Venezuela

2008-07-15T08:47:00.004+08:00

Yeah! Yeah! I make it..!! I have predicted Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza to be the Miss Universe 2008 and in real she make it.. she has crowned Miss Universe 2008 in Vietnam yesterday.. Dayana Mendoza has became a Miss Universe favorite during the competition and a lot of pageant websites has selected her as a front runner with USA, Mexico and Colombia, so its not really a surprise that she won.. Congratulation!!

The highlight of the competition is Miss USA falls down 'again' in her evening gown competition and I used 'again' because the same incident happened on last year Miss Universe evening gown competition where Miss USA falls down.. wondering what is wrong? is it the design of the gown or their walking skill? or they have been cursed.. haha!!

The 1st runner up is Colombia (another huge favorite), 2nd runner up is Dominican Republic, 3rd runner up is Russia (a bit surprise) and 4th runner up is Mexico (another huge favorite to crown Miss Universe).. 4 of the Top 5 are Latinos, that's mean the beauty of Latino really rock the universe..

Talking about my Top 5 prediction I got Venezuela and Mexico, not bad ha.. 2 out of 5.. a bit surprise that India and Puerto Rico didn't make it as Top 15..

Get Smart

2008-07-10T11:18:00.005+08:00

A super funny movie that will make you laugh as loud as you can.. highly recommend this one to everyone in order to charge your energy and mood..

I have to say that I was really happy and enjoyed myself very much while watching this movie.. I think this is a super great movie to laugh for and to charge your energy and mood if you are having a 'low mood' like me now..

I have to mention here that the main actor Steve Carell who plays Max in the movie as a top analyst of the top secret USA intelligence agency CONTROL.. this guy is funny, I can say that he is the American version of 'Mr.Bean'.. his dialogues in the movie are damn humorous and sure will make you laugh, beside that his face expression is cool as well.. I like the part where he is dancing with the fat lady, his face expression is damn funny because the lady is too heavy for him to hold.. I really have to give two thumb up for his performance in the movie.. another outstanding role is the chief, at the beginning his role is quite serious but he is getting more funny.. I really found he is funny..

Anne Hathaway is so beautiful and sexy, really like her big smile.. her role is Agent 99 who partner with Max to investigate the case.. honestly she is less funny if compared to Max and the chief, but she is showing some fighting movements here which are quite impressive.. The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) also playing a role as Agent 23, honestly he is getting better in comedy beside actions..

Overall.. this is a super funny movie that I would like to recommend to you guys.. no matter what mood you are now, just get in the cinema and laugh as loud as you can and sure you will feel good after the movie..

the BODYSTEP mania is back..

2008-07-09T15:35:00.002+08:00

I used to join BODYSTEP at least 3 times a week when I am in my previous fitness centre.. everyone seems like BODYSTEP very much and no doubt BODYSTEP is the most popular lesmills program.. you can always see a long queue outside the studio before the BODYSTEP class start and once the studio door is opened, everyone will rush in and grab a step board then find a nice spot to stand..

I am one of the BODYSTEP mania and my gym buddies as well, haha..!! it is fun to join the class together, and the class will get very high when everyone started to shout and scream when they are getting tired.. because in BODYSTEP there are a lot of jumping and running up and down the step board..

The BODYSTEP classes in my current fitness centre is not so hot yet, I have joined few times and stop due to the instructor performance and also the attendance of the class, it is definitely less fun when less members in the class and no one make noise.. very sien one!!

Recently I am joining BODYSTEP again in the latest release after a few months break.. it is so damn fun because the attendance of the class is getting more and members starting make noise in the class..haha.. somemore the performance of the instructor is getting better.. beside that the latest release tracks are quite fun too, especially the track with the remix version of Madonna's old song 'vogue', in this track there are some very DIVA hand movements where making everybody getting so high..

I have started BODYSTEP for 3 weeks and the passion of doing BODYSTEP is back and I am really happy that I enjoy BODYSTEP again.. look out!! the BODYSTEP mania is back..!! wakaka...

OH!! you may not know what is BODYSTEP.. here is the brief introduction..

BODYSTEP® is the energizing step workout that makes you feel liberated and alive. Using a height-adjustable step and simple movements on, over and around the step you get huge motivation from sing-a-long music and approachable instructors. Cardio blocks push fat burning systems into high gear followed by muscle conditioning tracks that shape and tone your body.

Hancock

2008-07-08T11:42:00.005+08:00

No doubt, the trailer of 'Hancock' is really attracting.. and sure will attract a lot of people go for this movie, beside that we have a charming superhero - Will Smith in the show..

All of us can't wait to go for the show and had assigned one guy in the group (the movie kaki group) to in charge to get the tickets (make sure he can get it, else.. haha!!).. anyway he manages to complete his mission and even got a very nice seats, well done dude.. muack..!!

Basically the story is about John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy, lonely and alcoholic superhero who is living in his own miserable and lonely world.. He has saved numerous lives in LA over the years, but in doing so has caused widespread property damage costing the city millions of dollars. The public has had enough of Hancock, and want him to either stop or move to another city.. One day, Hancock saves Ray Embrey and he persuades Hancock to go to prison so that the public will realize how much they need him.. the story changed again when Ray's wife Mary (Charlize Theron) met Hancock...

I like the movie.. mostly is because of Will Smith (so far he didn't let us disappointed in any of his movie..), he did a great job here again as a funny and charming superhero, beside the actions and jokes, he did well also in the emotional part when he is in the jail.. there is no doubt that he is one of Top Hollywood's male actor align with Johnny Depp..

Overall it is an entertaining movie.. with lot of actions and special effects, a few parts that I like are at the beginning when Hancock chase the three Asian guys by throwing their car in the sky.. and Hancock throwing the whales into the sea.. and also throwing the boy who insulted him.. haha!! Don't miss this one, because we hardly see a superhero who are so funny and making jokes always..

the interview..

2008-06-30T17:01:00.003+08:00

Its been quite a while I didn't have any job interview appointment until the recent one on last Wednesday evening, an interview recommended by one of my friend.. honestly, I was a bit nervous few hours before the interview appointment, I really worried that I will sweat a lot during the interview because that's my habit.. sweat and sweat when I am getting nervous.. I am sure everyone will have some kind of funny reaction when they are nervous, like one of my friend will feel like wanna run for toilet when she get nervous.. haha!!

I was there 15 mins before the interview appointment, as I know sure I will request to fill up a form, a tedious one..!! without any surprise, I have to fill up a job application form which I hate most because all the information required are in my resume which I have email to them a week before.. and the columns in the form are quite small for mt hand writings.. so I have to struggle and try to write smaller, eee.. the hand writings look so ugly..

They are interviewing a candidate when I was there, so I have to wait for my turn.. by the time I am waiting, my nervous feeling has gone and I am playing my mobile game, haha... I can said that I feel excited then nervous.. finally my turn, the interviewers are a guy and a lady, I guess both are in their 40s.. the very first question for me is 'Tell us about yourself..', wow!! what an easy question but have to be with a very comprehensive answer.. so I started with my backgrounds then to my current job functionality... bla.. bla.. bla.. from the questions they asked, I can know that they are more interested to know whether can I handle the end users (especially those 'ma-fan' users then my skills..) so I try to enhance my ability on the section that they interested on in order to gain more marks to become a finalist, haha...

The whole interview is about 45 minutes, and I have occupied 60% of the conversation, the guy took about 30% and the lady only 10%.. overall I think my performance is not bad, about 70 out of 100.. well I have tyr my best to promote myself, the rest just leave it to them and the one up there.. hope to hear a good news from them soon.. WISH ME GOOD LUCK..!!

Wanted

2008-06-30T11:28:00.006+08:00

Frankly, what attracted me to watch this movie is Angelina Jolie 'AJ'.. It has been a while we didn't see any AJ's movie in cinema, she seems like busy with her personal life more then movies.. but can't blame her because she got too many kids to take care and also expecting a twin now.. haha!!

Wanted is an action film loosely based on the comic book miniseries 'Wanted' by Mark Millar.. it is basically talking about a thousand-year-old secret society of assassins called The Fraternity which is lead by Sloan.. nothing much to say about the storyline of the movie because we can't expect much on it as an action movie.. the most interesting part in the movie is the effect of the slow motion movement of bullets, especially it shows how the bullet went through the humans head, and also the reverse movement of a bullet from the humans head backward to the gun.. it is awesome!!

The car and train chasing parts are great too.. especially the car chasing, I have to say AJ is pretty hot with the dress and high heels, and the way she drives and moving her body outside the car in order to fire are so damn hot, and not to mention her super-cool look when she holding guns, oh ya! have to mention that her tattoos are cool as well.. but I really feel that she is too skinny in the movie.. another highlight of the movie is those rats tight with bomb, damn interesting..

Overall, it is an entertaining movie especially the bullet movements and car chasing.. the ending of the movie is a bit out of my expectation.. recommended to those who like action movie and sure you won't feel bored with this one..

finding alternative ways..

2008-06-27T11:34:00.002+08:00

I guess everybody is finding altrenative ways to cut down their expenses after the petrol price increased, and it really hit a big impact to all of us.. heard from friend that there will be another increment somewhere in August and estimated it will be 100% increment or about RM5 per liter, OMG!! that's really crazy..!! my friend said if that really happened and he will not drive anymore and will change to motorbike to save costs.. and I joked to him that he should go to get his motorbike test now to avoid the long queue later if the petrol price really up again... anyway I really hope that won't happen, else people in this country will have to struggle more to live for their daily life..

As you can see everything seems like slowing down now in all industry, even in food industry.. those long queue has gone and people would prefer to eat at home.. even for myself, I found that it is getting hard to save some extra money every month because the value of our money is getting smaller.. so we have to manage our expenses and find out where and how we can cut down our expenses, for myself.. firstly I will try to cut down the money I spend for foods.. I have talked to my lunch partner that we shouldn't spend more then RM10 for our lunch a day.. next will be the money spend for entertainments and mostly is in movie..

Well.. I guess it is hard time for most of us now.. but we have no choice and life still have to goes on.. in term of blaming and protest (which I don't think the government will change anything..), the more practical way is to adjust our daily life and finding alternative ways to carry on our daily life..

Please try to be punctual in your next class..

2008-06-26T12:07:00.003+08:00

Lately there are more new members in our fitness centre, which I think it is something good because more people can make the gym become more happening and at the same time we have more people to see during our break.. haha!!

One thing that really make us mad is those new members who wanna join the group exercise class.. most of them are always late to enter the class.. I mean it is fine if you are late because you may caught in the jam or something.. but if you are enter the class late please be more consider of others and don't just squeeze yourself in between us, why not just stand at some other place because there are still lot of space in the studio.. wondering why they like to squeeze in a small space..?? what I hate most is in Body Combat class which we need a lot of space for kicking and jumping, next time I will kick their ass, haha.. it is same for Body Pump class, just like last Sunday when we are doing second track, suddenly these two ladies enter the studio and put two boards in front of me where the space is only enough for one.. they are blocking my view and also interrupt my movements, so by no choice I have to move my board to the corner.. and these two bitch(sorry can't think of any other better word to describe them..), just pretend nothing.. WTF!! I should suggest to the instructor lock the door once the class has started or ask those who are late stand at the front row.. any other better suggestions??
