First update of 2009

2009-02-12T11:08:00.003+08:00

Wow, last posted dated back in Dec '07. Pretty damn long. I finally found the "semangat" to start updating back, though how long it'll last I wouldn't know.

Lots of things and stuff has happened back in 2008. The year has gone and past and now it's Feb 2009. Being with Fina has made life a whole lot different, fair to say till today I can proudly say that I'm with her - going on strong.

I managed to complete my 2 years bond with M1, now already starting my 3rd year. Now doubt work life has become a little routine, I'm still going on with it. Times are bad, the past year has seen the world economic crisis come down onto us - recession. Most companies have taken extra precaution to prevent heavy lost and lets just saying looking for a new job nowadays ain't easy. In fact it's more risky! Besides, I too have my "plans" that need to be carried out first before I could make the next step.

The last year has seen me traveled to Bangkok and Krabi of Thailand, Batam in Indonesia and also Penang too! Never imagine I could have traveled to all these places while I was still at my old company, so needless to say there has definitely been some improvement in my life.

I also managed to see both Virgil and Shinie getting married, made new friends as usual and found new makan places in Singapore. Even managed to venture and discover more about Singapore.

I'll continue to update from time to time now, after all it's part of my "discipline programme" that I'm working out now. I'll be sure to upload some pictures here n there too.

Well that's all for now. I'll need to be heading to the gym shortly for some workout. Bye!

Christmas 2007 and Chris

2007-12-20T02:32:00.000+08:00

Christmas will be here in another 5 days from today. How am I taking it? Obviously I'm pretty much excited. For starters I'll be on leave for 6 whole days. That's like almost a week away from work. Free to do what I want without and with my loved ones. One thing is it'll be a first Christmas without me dear sister. Guess she's pretty much not bothered as from what I heard, she's away for holiday in the Bahamas. Oh well, good for her, a little warm weather for her.

Well I have a special someone who's crazy over this meal. WTM freak! Never knew someone as crazy enough for WTM existed other than my sister. Now I have two woman whom I'm closed to that are crazy over WTM!

Well I have a friend here who's been hoping he'd get a WTM or lambchop for Christmas from me. Konon la wanna meet up with me in Singapore, mana tau now I heard he's already in Russia! What la you, Chris...

Well here's a Russian for you as a Christmas prezzie. Maybe a rough idea on what you're supposed to be looking out for, we don't need another confused child out in the world again.
One more time give you full view, remember this ya, boobs and hot, not batang between legs!

Haha! Cheers mate. Merry Christmas to ya all!

It's Christmas month!

2007-12-02T16:07:00.000+08:00

I came across this email, sent to me by a former colleague of mine. Considering the fact that I'm also in a callcentre line, this really did crack me up. Just thought I'd post it here for reading pleasure.

Anyway am looking forward to Christmas this year. Gonna be on leave for 6 days this time compared to a miserable 1 off day last year. Keeping things short this time, any update and it'll be updated here. Take care!

Someone's too curious about something!

2007-11-17T12:11:00.000+08:00

Someone has been asking me tonnes of questions about something that she's gonna receive, and now from what I noticed, she has updated it in her blog.

The only clue that she has is that it's something that has got to do with a battery. How sure is that, hehehe....

And you know what the best part is? She's gotta collect it from my parent's place. Considering that she knows that she's getting something, I figure it ought to make it a little more exciting for her to collect it from my place. According to her, she might be collecting it later tonight or by tomorrow before 5.30pm. I just wish I could have a look at her place the moment she opens it. Oh well, I'm probably gonna get it from her once she sees it!

Chicken Rice and Mango Sago in Bugis

2007-10-24T02:39:00.000+08:00

I was introduce to this shop here that sells Chicken rice by my Boss Alzari. Name of the shop is Tong Seng Coffeeshop but mind you, everything sold in the shop is halal.

The rice here's a little diffrent from other places that I've been to, it gives you the feeling that you're eating good quality kinda rice

Check out the Chicken! Ain't that a sight-for-sore-eyes? Or rather for the hungry people

Here's the stall inside the coffeeshop, you could ask for any part of the chicken and the stall owner would gladly cut it out for you without hesitation

Here's a picture of the address of the shop. For those of you who's not too sure of the location, remember Bugis Junction's MOS burger. It's dirrectly opposite it.

And after a nice meal, it's always nice to compliment it with a nice desert, introducing Mango Sago!

It's hoever located in a different shop named Ah Chew's Desert, tough it's just walking distance from the coffeeshop. Check out their wide scope of menu!

And for those of you who would rather have a map instead, here you go.

And what does one's reaction become after such wonderful meal? It's gonna be yum yum, that's for sure! Take it from Bruno. Happy feasting =)

Test of patience

2007-09-23T02:10:00.000+08:00

What a day. Imagine having to handle a nasty call. NOw imagine having to handle a nasty-irritating-stupid-bogus-pissing me off kinda call throughout the day which last almost between 10minutes to 20minutes and back to back!

This is really not good for health. Could it be because of the position? I'm not one of those Feng Shui kinda fella but it could be. Or could it be because it's a weekend and most of them are just over shallow minded.

It's just one of those days. I'm just one of the unlucky ones today. And to end to the depression, LFC didn't even win as well. Can't the day just get any more worst? Just hang in there, I hear a voice inside me telling me. Well probably that voice needs to be answering some of these calls too then it'll probably hang itself too.

Days like these keeps me wondering, how long more? The question continues to loom....

Pictures curtesy of Edward

2007-09-23T01:47:00.000+08:00

Yeah, couple of months and weeks back managed to try out 2 different kinda activities in Singapore. Managed to go cycling at East Coast and the Night Safari. Just had these pictures from Edward:

Rented 3 bikes, 2 single and a double, nice to be cycling in Singapore for once

Smile everyone!...and me with the Scary Movie look....lame...

Here are the Night Safari Pictures

Dey, alamak....3's company la....!

Now that's more like it =)

For those of you who've been there b4, bet you know where this place is =)

Another one for the album, smile everybody!

Hecho-A-Mano

2007-09-21T02:28:00.000+08:00

Hmmm, noticed the shoes? Ain't it cute? Looks like I really got somebody's atention with it. And after that, she's been pretty much obsesed with it. Oh well, I guess it's a norm with all women. Anyway, for those of you who might be interested with it, check out Hecho-Amano .

Yes, I know it's so cute, just like the picture below, the kitten I mean... =)

Ah-Gu-Gu....Chiak!

Malacca - Singapore - Penang!

2007-09-18T21:27:00.000+08:00

Recently lots have happened since my last post - yeah, i know I don't update so often as that ain't me. It's more like a past time. So here's a few pictures that I took along these past few months:

During one of my trip back to Malacca, check out the kid that's in the trolly. He's even burried with the items, talk about security to your shopping..

Miss Rufina Lee was also selected to participate in the Mr and Ms Xplode function that was on Merdeka Eve in City Bayview, Malacca. She was one of the top 5 girls that were selected based on high votes from online users.

Well, she asked for a good luck's kiss...

And a more formal picture

Seen here is her and one of the male contestant, who both had to parade themselves on stage. Well the guy eventually emerged as Mr Xplode, probably due to the high votes. He brought his friends and Fina, well, she brought me only.

Yeah, though she didn't emerged as Ms Xplode well she's already hot enough to explode for me. Yeah, we both had a good time. Had free liquor too as she was one of the contestant. We even met Wilburt and Russell there too!

The next day we headed back to Singapore. The following day my colleagues and myself were supposed to be going to the Night Safari here in Singapore. Fina managed to tag along since she was on leave still.

One of the open shows we managed to watch was these Caniball wannabe tribe. Well their performace was alright, more like to show how the Messolotic ppl were like back then or sortsort...

They even played with fire, ate fire, all part of the show. Anyway folks, Don't try this at home! Either way you're gonna get yourself hurt or your mom's gonna freak out seeing you in this way and you might be sent on a trip to Tanjung Rambutan.

Yeah...nice...the girls loved the show....well guys sweaty, six packed and half naked...won't that be enough to turn you horny girls out there on?

Yeahm now watch this fella....

Watch him, watch him.....

KABOOM! He blew out an enourmous giant fireball. Wonder if he could be related to the Uchiha clan....

Ok, here's a challenge between myself and Fina, who can pose weirdly....

I guess I won this challenge easily....

I wasn't too sure whether I noticed the white cloak in the picture back then....Could be..., haha...I think this was in the Bat cage....someone must have lost his cloak while climbing the tree...

This one's one for the album!

(l-r) SIng Jian, Marcus, Fina, Megan, Drina, Boon Keow and Edward.

Smile! =)

Fina too did managed to catch a look at the World's biggest Fountain - The Fountain of Wealth, Suntec City.

Awww....wish you could take a bath too as well right?

We went on to Harbourfront as well...a posed with the best Club's football jersey...

Hmmm, wonder why the sad face?

Well as you can see it, she missed her flight back to Penang, resulting her to pay for the next flight the following day at Rm250. Bummer don't you think considering that you missed a flight that cost Rm 70++....

Next up it was my turn to fly to Penang the following few days...wondering how Air Asia is like...

Looks alright don't you think so?

Alright, boarding time!

Hmmm, not bad....not that small as imagined...

Penang, here I come!

To be honest the seats are not bad, leather seats plus it's quite spacious in between the seats

Well a 45minute trip, it ain't gonna be that bad la...

Arrival at Penang airtport, how I wish Malacca has enough space to have an airport for the public....So much convenience, really beats the 10hr hell bus ride.

Yeah, Malacca needs more space la! Mogok wan?

Alright, we managed to drop by this place in called Bakerzin in Queensbay, Penang. Food's not bad too. This here's my personal favourite Fraisier, almond sponge soaked in strawberry liquor and some pistachio butter cream and fresh strawberries!

Yup, dropped by Batu Ferringgi's beach, act like small kid here...

The wind in your hair, the sound of the sea and the nice warm sun, ah.....

Well then I had to leave, guess what I had for my leaving present? Shepherd's Pie, yum yum.. this one's for memories...Anyway thats all for now. Feel like I rushed through the whole post, but then times too precious to be spending on one post!

I just ate a whole can of Longan by myself and I feel like shit!

2007-08-21T21:52:00.000+08:00

I've been staring at the screen for 5 whole minutes, I don't even know how to start this one. Why do people blog? Is it because they wanna brag? Or is it some of them have got nothing else better to do? As for me, it's just the sake for pasting my time.

I find it that whenever I'm alone, it seems that I think a lot. It could be more to about my plans, troubles, happy thoughts or what so ever. Heck the way I see it, its more like I'm blogging without a reason. So I might as well shut down this blog, after all, there's many other things that I could be doing instead of just wasting my time here. So that's it, I'm gonna close this blog down.

WAiiiiiiTTTttt just a Minute!!!

What about all my history? There's archieve in this blog of mine. As I look back, I missed those treasured moments in life. Well not everything that happened in my life's here though, but somehow or rather one topic leads to a memory of mine. I know it sounds kinda lame but if u look back, u'd see stuffs from the past. Hey, its more like a journal, or rather a diary like in ancient time only that it has photos and jokes in it as well.

Perhaps one day, my kid might look at my blog and say: CHECK OUT DAD'S HEAD! Oh well, it'll be a waste for me to just delete what I've started a few years back. I'll just continue to crap around here, updating stuffs and pictures. It'll probably serve myself as a good past time when I'm 80 next time.

Well to the future Andrew who's reading this, you just had your most memorable birthday a few days back. Dear Fina gaved you one to remember of. Presents and meals. Hopefully she'll still be by yourside then. Today's also your off day and you slept like a log till noon. It's also cousin Edmund's birthday as well. Hopefully he'll still be around by then. Oh yeah, Geeta (M1 colleague)'s dad passed away today. Deepest condolence to her and her family.

You'll also soon be going back to Malacca again next week and to Penang the following week to visit Fina. And at this point also, you'd be pondering at the thought whether do you wanna stay in Singapore somemore or not. Even Kevin (M1 colleague) is asking you to join him at TST (Technical Support Team). Kinda interesting but there are some problems if you were to join the team.

Anyway that's all for now. I don't feel like typing anymore as Fina's come online and I'd rather talk to her instead. See ya around!

Holiday in Penang

2007-07-19T10:26:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I know it's been some time (I use this sentence quite often, don't I) since I last did some updating, well I've been to Penang recently and boy did I really had the time of my life!

Ok, at least one of them's cute...

Ain't she adorable? Siap can post with the DVD remote controler of her father's car (Virgil, like tv la wei!)

Apart from Penang, we did a short trip on the second day to Perlis, that's like the border of Thailand and Malaysia...

Damn, I miss holding her...

As usual, Fina's always there to cheer me up

Likewise Alia as well....

Yeah, here's the name of the place which I was telling you about "Gapura Square"- Border of M'sia & Thailand

Seriously, the things here were cheap, you'd imagine how much stuffs I got from there!

Well, thats about it la...tat much of stuffs, hehe...=P

Introducing Alif, nephew of Fina and brother of Alia

On the ferry towards Langkawi!

Just in case you don't believe, check out Fina posing with the safety jackets!

By the time we reached the seaside it was already dark, but that didn't stopped us from getting into the sea...

imagine travelling on a bike in a cold wheather for 40 minutes just for "pork"...

doesn't this look like good food to ya?

and these stew with tofu....

Instead of normal whit rice, we opted for Thai Fried rice, still yummy!

I learned a saying in Langkawi - "Save water, drink Beer"

Our breakfast at the hotel the very next day

HUngry siol!

After breakfast, me and Fina decided to head down to the Underwater world in Langkawi..

Somebody wanna be a mermaid....

Haha, I took this shot b4 she was ready...

A picture of the aproaching port

Some ppl just loves to take pictures of you when you're asleep

a pic while on top of Penang Hill

It wasn't gloomy but hazy..

Check out this house on the hill, following the English style...

Imagine having a fence like these.....

After Penang Hill, we made a trip to town where I had this wonderful marvelous Penang Laksa, ntg compared to anywhere else but where it actually originated from..

Other than that was the famous Chendol, best in Penang, near Komtar building

Aside from that, even had a plate of Penang Char Kuey Tiow

Anyway that's all for now, these here are just the few pictures which are legal that I'm posting, rst ah, you really gotta see it for yourself to believe and understand it, btw, I'm just too lazy to post it all. Till then bye!

Updates bout me!

2007-07-12T22:42:00.000+08:00

Since the 1st of July till the 11th, I've been working straight. Hardly had enough time for myself, yet this blog to be updated.

Yeah, I know I was crazy to be applying for overtimes on my off and rest days but I figure, what the heck, just give it my best shot. And the last day was hel, having to work on the 1.30pm shift till 11.00pm and then adding another 3 hours, so making the shit end at 2.00am. Crazy isn't it?

Well I had enough of work. Thank God for this rest day for me to recover and settle my errands. Had to send my handphone for servicing as the joystick seems to be a little "stubborn" for me to be accessing my wap site, links and even my msn.

From what I gathered, it seems that my phone was one of the early models which had this problem, the new ones in the market has been upgraded. Oh well, as it seems to be under waranty, why waste it right? After the servicing, lets just say it's very very "obedient" now.

Alright, Andrew's crapping bout his handphone again. What else is new bout me, hmmm... yeah I'll be leaving for Penang tomorrow after work. I know it's gonna be a 10 freaking hrs bus ride from all the way here to Penang. But I guess the outcome of it will definitely be worth it. I'll probably update again when I'm free. Till then, bye!

ITALIAN COMPLAINT LETTER

2007-06-18T20:46:00.000+08:00

The Italiano tourist wrote a complaint letter to the Manager of a hotel in London. The letter read as follows: (it's just too good, I really had to post it here)

Dear Signor Diretorre

Now I am tella you the story how I was treated at your hotella. I am comma from Palermo as tourist to London and stay as a young man at your hotella. When I comma in my room I see no shit in my bed. How can I sleep with no shit in my bed? I calla down the Receptione and tell: "I wanna shit". They tella me "Go to the toillett ". I said "No, no. I wanna Shit in my bed". They said "You betta not shit in your bed, you sonnawabitch".

What is sonnawabitch?!

I go down to ristorante for breakfast. I order bacon and eggs and Two pisses of toast. I getta only one piss of toast. I tella waitress and point to toast "I wanna piss ". She tella me "Go to the toillett". I say "No, no. I wanna piss on my plate ". She then say to me "You bloody fella better not piss on the plate, you sonnawabitch ".

Second person who do not even know me and call me sonnawabitch! What is sonnawabitch?

Later I go dinner into restorante. Spoon and knife is laid but no fock. I tella waitress "I wanna fock", and she tella me "Sure, everybody wanna fock". I tell her" No, No. You don't understand me. I wanna fock on The table". She then tell me "So you sonnawabitch, u wannna fock on the table? Get your ass outa here!"

So I go to the receptione and ask for bills. I no wanna stay in your hotel no more. When I have pay the bills, The porter say to me "Thank you and piss be with you". I say "Piss on you too, you sonnawabitch".

I go back to Italia! I never more comma stay in your hotella, You sonnawabitch!

Potatoe and Cheese!

2007-06-17T23:51:00.000+08:00

Wow, check this out! I came across this "Pringles" flavour at the fairprice here in Singapore today. Must be a new brand as I've not seen it in Malacca and my "sources" too confirmed that Malaysia has yet to launch this new brand as well.

I like anything that's gotta do with potatoe and cheese - wat a nice combination

But don't worry, I'm not gonna eat it just yet as I promised somebody that she'll have the first piece of this "Pringles"...you keep your promise and I shall keep mine, hehe...

Anyway in my previous post "Food feast during this last 2 weeks" I was at Dataran along with Virgil and he took a photo of this show car from my hp - still crazy with cars as always this fella. Just thought I'd upload the picture here so that I can erased it from my phone.

Damn, no 4 digits la the car...haha...anyway Virgie, you might wanna copy the pictures from here as I've deleted it - wait for you to come online to pass them is like hoping to strike 4D. Anyway cheers everybody!

Food Feast during this last 2 weeks...

2007-06-11T22:00:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I know it's been awhile. As usual,pretty much tied up with work, Malacca and my life. I guess I'll just blog the whole past 2 weeks here. Started off last 2 weeks when myself, Desmond, Edward, Venus & Angeline went to Fish & Co at IMM. For me, it's my first time to this restaurant. What to do, I'm not so much of a fish eater myself but I'm willing to try out new things.

Here we have Edward posing, Do you see any reassemblance here =)

Not to be outdone, Venus too wanted to pose, so she posed with the menu instead...

Gotta admit, having the table-mat as a fish design, hmmm, kinda creative don't you think so?

We have here Angeline giving us a sweet smile, don't blame those eyes, she just woke up actually =P

Ah, finally here comes my dinner, some kinda Fish & Chips...the normal ones I guess. Well the trip there really wasn't much to be talking about, I think I had to pack back a packet of Char Kuay Tiow after that, not enough....=P

A few days later I was on my way back to Malacca. Yeah, in my head it was all about hometown food, couldn't stop thinking bout it except till I saw this banner, Prison Break?

And I though Prison Break was supposed to be looking like this? Ah, enough bout that, Malacca Food! Malacca Food!

Well when I got back home, after the hug-hug scenario from parents, I was dying for something to eat. Somehow or rather I wanted my favourite Thosai from PK's shop, Sri LaksmiVillas. Yum yum....

After that it was mostly touch and go for me, had a few meals here n there, but then at night I felt hungry at 1am, called my bro to ask him out for supper but he said he was kinda out of the way, So I decided to cook up that beauty! My very own fried rice, guess I still have got that cooking touch in me left after all these while in Singapore.

The next day I decided to meet up with Thomas & Virgil + Shinie for lunch. Had Wan Tan Mee. It was sure lovely, decided to take a picture of it as well. Crazy rite? But not as crazy as someone who would actually have 4 meals in the same day of Wan Tan Mee. I'm sure Fina might wanna put this as a wallpaper =P

Later on, I went out with Virgil, we decided to hung out at Dataran, guess this McD booth just came up...didn't noticed it previously...

Yeah, Dataran's McD booth for deserts...

As usual, I had to get a Sundae Cone...Green Apple si boh!

The next day when I got back to office, my cluster were having the May & June babies celebration. Makan as usual but then this time more food....

Isn't it a sight-for-sore-eyes?

Seriously, it was worth effort of me skipping lunch that day....

Then on Monday night, Fern and me went out for dinner, yeah, long-time-no-see punya meet up.....We went to this Korean Food place at Chinatown...

The amount of dishes for just 2 people....Ok right? but then all vegetable lei.....

Hmmm, something's missing....right?

What could it be? ....

Of coz it's the main dish, silly! You'd think I have dinner without meat? Haha!

They even cooked the beef infront of us...Think it's part of their scam to make us more hungry....

I'm telling you, the chopsticks they had were flat, how to use la?! Thankfully for Mr. Fork.

And the cap off the night, me and Fern went on to Media-yato get some ice creams. Here's mine, good ol' Rum & Raisins + Banana Chocolate! Let's just hope I don't put on much weight because of these 2 past weeks...

2007-05-28T20:41:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I found of a new place in Singapore that serves good food! It's located at Marina South and it's some kinda bbq/steamboat buffet. YES! BUFFET! They've got seafood (Thomas, your fav), meat (Virgil, you're missing this man!), vegetable (Shinie da vegetarian, can survive here too) and many others too.Yup, that's the picture of the place. Chin Huat Live Seafood, but then got meat lei, Satay too!

Check out the damage that we created!
I had dinner with my colleague Desmond, Megan, Cheryl, Ashley & Venus. First time hanging out with this group too and they were a loud but a fun bunch of people to be with.

The gals that came (L-R: Ashley, Cheryl, Megan & Venus)

The other guy excluding myself, Mr Dezzy Desmond!

This one's a classic picture. You know the saying "A picture say a thousand words"? Check out what Desmond is doing to Venus!

Alright then. A much more decent shot! Thanx for the time my friends! Looking forward till our next trip there!

Dinner on 26th of May

2007-05-26T22:10:00.000+08:00

I felt like treating myself today. Wanted to go to Botak Jones for dinner but after checking out the queue, decided the 2 hrs wait wasn't quite worth it. The other option I had was McD's.

In conjunction with the upcoming Shrek 3 trailer (Yeah Desmond, we know it's your favourite!), they had this Grilled Chicken Teppanyaki set. I thought to myself "what the heck, just give it a try". Well the burger itself was kinda alright but I'd rather have BMac again if I had to choose. Much more filling.

Anyway this one's for you Dez!

A little more weight round the cheeks and maybe you'll be just like him =P
Cheers mate!

Farewell to Anna Koh...23.05.2007

2007-05-26T22:02:00.000+08:00

Yeah Anna, I know I owe you this.

It hasn't been long since I got to know you but the 1 month we spend in the same cluster really was funny. Apart from those naughty jokes and sharing stuffs, you were nice to chat with. I sincerely wish you all the best in your new job in KL. Yeah, nice eh going back to "tanah air" =P Do keep in touch and stay cheerful as always!

warmest regards,
AJ McLeod

Orchard Cineleisure!

2007-05-22T01:42:00.000+08:00

Ok, time for an update again. Last Saturday I went out with Desmond, Pui Ling & Edward, my colleagues from M1. Yeah I know, first time right? Well just wanted to see what they're like outside office and boy, they sure were nice and very outgoing. We met up at Bugis Junction-8, had lunch and roammed the area. Bugis's one of the city area. Had a new earring (did lost my old one, but managed to find it later) and ate like hell. Been some time since I've had the chance to eat a proper good meal in Singapore. Don't really like spending freely but come last Saturday, I figured - "What the hell!" and ate as much as I wanted to.

We then later moved on to Orchard. This time they decided to head over to Orchard Cineleisure - a place for youngsters. I did went to the place once but that was like at 11pm plus and was shown the place by someone, so not too much memory of it. We decided to catch one of the show : The Bridge to Terabithia. The show reminded me of Narnia, well It was alright.

Cineleisure's a pretty fun place to hang out. Man, you'd imagine all those weirdos wearing weird kinda outfit, think they're somekind black punk or some kinda hip hopster.

But what I like most bout Cineleisure is their creativity. Check out the pics tat I posted. Live-size Transformer, The Silver Surfer (Dono why I keep on getting mixed up as the silver spoon) And Spiderman. Didn't had much time to snap pictures as I didn't think much were needed to say. As usual, I'll be updating stuffs that I come across in Singapore from time to time. Till then, cya!

Cost of living in S'pore

Yikes! Time sure does past fast. Check it out, my last post was in January. Well what can I say. I've been pretty much busy lately, settling down in SIngapore, in my new working environment, my new lifestyle here, sister's wedding, sister's departure, getting a new gal, running up and down between Malacca and Singapore, bla bla bla.... Well just though I'd do some updates on my blog, considering having time on my hand.

Woke up today at 1.30pm, off day. Had a microwaved lunch and made myself a drink. Had lunch while chilling with a movie on my laptop. Bout 3, decided to go freshen up, have a shit and so on. While walking towards the toilet spotted the Sunday's Times. Just thought I'd read it through and apparently the article below caught my attention. No wonder my rent went up. Anyway it's happening throughout the whole country and since I've gotta be here then I've gotta start adapting to it....

What to do, cost of living here is high considering the amount of foreigners coming in. Economic growth here is stable and quite well. Not bad for a country the size of Malacca eh? Makes you wonder, what's keeping Malaysia's growth?

During my last trip back to Malacca

2007-01-25T00:04:00.000+08:00

During my last trip back to Malacca I had the pleasure of hanging out with my siblings more than we normally used to. Well I'll just cut the story short, we did made a trip down to Tesco to do groceries. And as usual, the whole place was with the Lunar New Year decorations and so on. Just as we walked past the hardware department, my sis suddenly asked me:

Sis: Hey, you wanna see a life Pussy?

Me: Wwhatt?! (I thought she was trying to pull a fast one on me)

Sis: Nah, see there (she pointed elsewhere with a smirking smile)

Me: ........ (I turn to the direction that she was pointing, figuring I would see some weirdo or something, and guess what I saw)

I'm not sure whether the departmental ppl were trying to be funny or seriously that's the name of the plant....

I really had to get a picture of it. Now this time you can't blame ppl for selling pussy or wat, Tesco's doing it legally! So wanna buy a pussy? Drop down to Tesco and you could get one for RM 17.88 only. Gong Xi Fa Chai!

My visit to Orchard Road during Xmas Season.

2006-12-17T23:09:00.000+08:00

Well, I finally did it. All these talks about how nice and special on how Orchard Road is like during the Xmas season finally got the best out of me. Been hearing talks among my colleagues, those locals and old timers telling the newbies about Orchard Road. So on Friday, the 15th of December 2006, I decided to take a little tour to see how it's really like.

This is Ck Tang, one of the first Shopping complex I went through from the MRT. Man, the place sure was pack like hell. I guess because of the sales and so on la.

Along the corner after CK Tangs, came across this building. At first I thought it was another shopping complex only when i got nearer, did I realise it's was actually Goodwood Park Hotel. Damn high class hotel! Only can see Ang Moh (white-men) around the area. Bet Deana might be interested in hanging out round the area =P

I guess the main attraction for me was this humongous X-mas tree, perhaps the "white-men" musta have followed that star on top of the tree instead....

Along the busy road on Scotts Road, one of the roads linking with Orchard, check out the jam, man! If I was stuck in this kinda jam, I'd be wishing I had Santa's ride =P (else I'd probably need a damn shi-sha like the time during the jam back at Malacca during Independence Day)

A view on Scotts Road from above......

whoopps.....this picture's supposed to be after the other one....anyway this one's for you, Lynn! McD by the kaki-lima......(I guess this is Singapore's idea of a "mamak")

Ok, Scott's Road on the other end......(Virgil, i think you'll be able to walk faster than traffic)

Out on the streets, suddenly this clock-tower came out of nowhere....??? Anyway, just thought I'd get a picture of it....

A man-made tree...whole thing's made out of cement, the leaves are actually some shinny plastic, and lights in between them.....this kinda tree is found all around the area...

Man, all these walking and I've yet even to break a sweat....and not forgeting to mention, I've yet to even take my dinner....hungry rite? This is where I decided to start hunting for food...

some show-men at work....a picture of 2 "Red Indians" doing some performance....songs were kinda nice, though I wished I'd understand what it meant actually.....

And here comes the fun part. Enter the "Christmas Nativity Village". It was actually set-up by some kinda Anglican group or something like that to remind the people of the story behind X-mas.. kudos to them!

this here is the wise-men scene.....they're the wise-guys that actually followed the shinning star to find baby Jesus who was just borned...

a brief description of the scene.....

here's the scene at the stable where Jesus was borned.....

a closer view... (damn, had to get through so many people just for this shot!)

here's the scene before Jesus was borned, both Mary & Joseph were looking for a room to spend the night....

and lastly, here's the scene where the angel approached the shepherds for shepherd's pie, .....opps, see Fern, this is what you did to me, having me think about Shepherd's pie again, anyway, the angel appeared to the shepherds to tell them of the birth of Christ.

after this long walk, I went into Ngee Ann City, guess the only thing that actually caught my attention was this fountain....seriously, not even the hot chick there.....I was searching for food desperately by now....**stomach growll**!

Finally! My dinner for that night. Some kinda pork thing cooked in Japanese style....Thomas, if you're reading this, the pork was like...uhmmmm, slurrppp...yummie fillet pork. Thick somemore, one bite and you'll taste the sweet juice of meat....(but then i guess you wouldn't enjoy the mustard that came along with it, and err, no tomatoe sauce too, sorry =P)

Ah yes, the name of the shop, or should i say, the stall....the meal I had was some kinda pork katsu or watever...anyway, I did what i needed to do and dinner was good. Amen to that!

Queensway Shopping Centre

2006-12-10T02:13:00.000+08:00

Well, it's been a tiring week for me this week. But much as I got myself tired, I found some pretty interesting places in S'pore. For instance, I found a good place to shop for sport's equipment and stuffs and it's at Queensway Shopping Centre! Check out the picture below and you'll know what I mean.

Yeah, bout the jersey if you're wondering, yep, it's Liverpool's New Jersey by Adidas for the season 2006 -2008, and yeah, it's ORIGINAL and with my name this time! =D So far now pose from the back, front next time la.

Ok, back to Queensway, the place is what I would like to consider as the Sungei Wang in KL. Yup, clothing there is cheap and kinda funky. Besides, I even got myself a new memory card for my hp and now I have extra space to store my "stuffs". Anyway, looking fwd to next coming week. Missing those food back in Malacca!

My Trip to the Jurong Bird Park. (pictures included)

2006-12-05T11:34:00.000+08:00

Ok, finally found some time to upload a few pictures of my trip to the bird park. Hope you guys enjoy them =D Pictures taken by Fern. Thanx Fern, for the tour!

a picture of me taken by Fern as I made my journey beyond the gates of the Bird Park

Some flamingoes

found this golden iguana inside the aviary, God knows what he was doing there

At 3,ooosq.m and 9 stories high, Lorf Loft is the world's largest walk-in Lory flight aviary, along together with more than 1,000 free-flying lories. Here I stand on top of the bridge inside the "Lory Loft". The birds are that tame, that they actually fly around you. Offer them a special nectar mix and they'll flock over to you.

picture snapped with one of the hornbills and its caretaker, had a feel of the bird too!

picture session with 2 macaws

inside the penguin house, to witnes the "Penguin Parade". Picture of one of the King penguins

picture ain't that clear coz of the glass in between, none-otherless, it was worth it. At least I had a chance to witness before my very eyes these penguins having their meal. There are about 5 species on exhibit which are the Humboldt, Rockhopper, Macaroni, Fairy and last but not least my favourite, the King Penguin. *which reminds me, I need to see "Happy Feet" =P*

during the "Bird & Buddies" show and they needed a volounteer, guess who had it =P

side view of the bird, the female one flew away as the trainer called it back

This here is little "Amigo". Considered one of the smartest bird in the park. He actually counted from 1 till 10 both in English and then in Chinese. After that, he actually sang a malay song called "Rasa Sayang" and a chinese song which I've forgoten of the name. Pretty smart for a bird, if you ask me.

a picture of me somewhere near one of the African Wetlands with some pelicans. I sure did enjoy my trip to the bird park

pictures of 2 black swans, first time for me seeing them

a picture of Fern and her favourite bird which she call the blue bird! Actual name is called a "shoebill"

a picture of the "shoebill" up close.... (thanx to my k800i's zoom function =P)

photo session after the "Birds of Prey" show

smile for the cam, birdie!

Well I hope you enjoyed some of the pictures which I took from the Bird Park, I sure did =P Anyway I'll probably be heading there again once more, then probably next will be the Zoo. Stay tuned for more updates!

Jurong Bird Park

2006-12-02T21:51:00.000+08:00

Man, i sure had a tiring day today. It's my rest day and I decided to head on down to the Jurong Bird Park. Many thanks to Fern who took me there and was a splendid tour guide in taking me round Singapore. Bird park was cool. Took many pictures but don think I wanna upload them now as I'm kinda tired. Probably upload them later on. Till then, chioz.

Updates!

2006-11-29T01:37:00.000+08:00

Alright, the day has finally come. I've finally got my own net access here in Singapore. After more than 2 months surviving on local wifi at hotspot such as McD and so on, I now have my own, though it's still wifi =S Non-other-less, its my own and I'm happy with it, as I too did the whole installation myself, muahahahaha =D

**ok, satisfied with the self praise**

It's actually a combination of a modem and wifi, why do i need wifi you ask? Ok, here's the thing, in Singapore the broadband service comes in 3 ways. Through SingTel, its via phoneline. Then there's M1 who just recently lauched their very own braodband service, it's via network. And finally, Starhub, who uses cables from the cable points.

If you ask me on my preference, I'd say Starhub. Reason is, lets do a comparision. SingTel, phoneline, and they want me to pay a deposit of S$200. Then M1, they just lauched the service, so it's new, takes time to set itself up, though how stable it is, God only knows. Starhub, it's cable! Cable I tell you! Plus they don't even require me to pay any deposit. Just that I have to purchase the modem myself. If you ask me, it's so much more of a convinience to me.

Reason why I got a router is that the cable point in my flat is in the living room and my notebook's in my room. So if i were to get a cable line pulled in to my room, now tat's gonna cost me like hell. Besides, getting the router was fun as i had my chance to discover & explore Funan Digital Centre here in Singapore.

Right now, tat's all for now as I need to update some other stuffs here n there. Laterz!

It's Christmas Season!

2006-11-19T21:30:00.000+08:00

[CHORUS:]

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year

To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

[CHORUS:]

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance

But you still catch my eye

Tell me baby

Do you recognize me?

WellIt's been a year

It doesn't surprise me

I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying "I love you"

I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now

I know you'd fool me again

[CHORUS]

A crowded room

Friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you

And your soul of ice

My god I thought you were

Someone to rely onMe?

I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but you tore me apart

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

[CHORUS x2]

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover buy you tore him apart

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special.

All soul's day!

2006-11-02T18:32:00.000+08:00

Wow, check this out, the last post I left here was on the 9th of September 2006. And today it's the 2nd of November 2006. Almost 2 whole months of no update. By the look of this blog now, it seems pretty badly managed. Well, apart from being exhausted from work, being homesick at times and pretty occupied with certain stuffs, I really couldn't find the time as well as the will to update the blog. I really donno what to type now. It's like I've lost interest in this "thing".

Hmmm, maybe I should tell what Singapore is like. To me, life in Singapore has been hetic. It's the culture here. People tend to rush all the time. I guess this is what a city's life is all about. Not that it's like Sex in the City (hmmm, sex, na...=P).

I have a nice simple room all for myself. It's simple and sweet. Don't worry, though I'm a guy, but I make sure that my room is neat and tidy. Why? I donno, just like it that way as it helps me to find my stuffs easier, much more systematic.

I have a laptop for myself now, HP brand. Even got a new handphone for myself, so I'm currently using 2 handphones now, my old Nokia hp and my new Sony Ericsson K800i. (hehe, had to brag bout that part =P). Oh yeah, the only messy part in my room would be my computer table. It's full of different kinda wires and adaptors. Well, since I'm pretty much into gadgets, guess that's why i have these many wires on the table. Will probably post some pictures of it later.

Oh yeah, I'm staying in Clementi. Guess what, I've been here for almost 2 months now and there are already 2 cases on the railway track. First case that happen at the Clementi mrt station during my first week here in Singapore. A gal was pushed onto the railway track. From what I heard, the gal survived as she was smart to quickly climb up onto the other side of the tracks. The cuplit was caught, took about 5 men to held him down. Besides, a couple of guys did beat the guy up. I know all these because it happened right before my bare eyes. The gal only suffered minor bruises. Hope she's well now.

The second case happened last Monday the 30th of October 2006. I was also on the train but this time at Queenstown Mrt station. Eveybody was told to unboard the train at Queenstown. Reason was because there was an accident along the tracks. Train services were disrupted for almost 30 minutes between Queenstown and Clementi. Finally after 30 minutes, we were all then directed to board the train. When I reach my station, Clementi, I noticed a few policemen around. Well, it seems that the accident was at Clementi again. They found a man's body under the train. Police classifies this case as an unnatural case.

Damn, this got me thinking. 2 cases, at the same mrt station in just almost 2 months. Coincidence rite? Well, someone as myself would have never expected such of a thing to be happening in Singapore. Maybe in the Philippines or Malaysia yeah, but in Singapore? For all you know, I could be the 3rd victim. **touchwood**

So long, good bye & till we meet again!

2006-09-09T23:42:00.000+08:00

Guess this will probably be my last time blogging here till I get my own computer and net connection in Singapore. Anyway, to all my frens & ex-colleagues, thanx for all the special moments which we have shared together. To my family members, I'm sure to miss you all. I'm probably gonna be bored there during my first few weeks, no pc, no close frens (yet), no net connection, no Tv. Haiz, new challenge rite? To all my chat frens, forget-me-not! Hugs to everybody! Till we see each other again!

Teacher Arrested

2006-09-07T00:41:00.000+08:00

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction."Al-gebra is a fearsome cult, "Gonzales said. They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value.

They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as unknowns, but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."

Late for Breakfast ... Hope it touches your heart as it did to mine ...

2006-09-07T00:20:00.000+08:00

It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

On exam it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation I asked him if he had a doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease.

As we talked, and I finished dressing his wound, I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him. "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?" He smiled as he patted my hand and said. "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be. With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there are some that come along that have an important message, and this is one of those kinds. Just had to share it with you all.

"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything that comes along their way."

Peace ... is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank ...

On painkillers now...

2006-09-06T20:25:00.000+08:00

Yup, I'm back now. Woke up today with no confidence today, like don't have the will to seize the day. Reason was, my apointment with the dentist at 11.30am to remove my freaking wisdom tooth. A normal tooth extraction would cost about RM150.00. Well, it wasn't gonna be like this for me this time. It cost me RM370.00. My operation this time required me to do an x-ray this time. Reason was because the tooth this time was growing 45 degrees to the side instead of 90 degress upwards. The doc had to x-ray it to find out on where is it's nerves and which angle to pull it from. One would think that it's that simple. Here's a messy diagram which i drew using paint:

Try sitting on the chair for more than an hour while watching somebody drilling, cutting and pulling your tooth while you're wide awake. Yup, i had to go through all this shit. Doctor told me that the tooth had to be cut up into 3 pieces. During the operation, she told me that no choice, had to cut up to 4 pieces instead as the tooth's angle was way beyond reach. In the end, the tooth was finally removed. Good riddance to it too! Right now I'm on painkillers to ease myself from the freaking pain. Did i mentioned that the gum had to be sewed as well because of the slicing? Sigh, hopefully I'll recover soon from it. No mood to blog further. Rather rest. Laterz!

Business trip to Singapore on the 4.9.06

2006-09-05T21:48:00.000+08:00

My trip to Singapore was something. Managed to settle all my stuffs there, opening up a bank account and securing a place to stay. Yup, I'll be staying in Clementi. Clementi is a town in Singapore, located in the west between Jurong & Dover. Did a personal survey on the area while I was there. It seems ok, with several chinese hawker stalls there. In fact, there's also a McD there too! Looks like a good town.

When I first arrived, I met up with Fern at Tiong Bahru mrt station. We then had lunch at a chinese restaurant, eating xia long bao (not sure if i have the spelling correctly) . After that, she had to leave but she did brought me to the POSB before she left. (Thanks Fern)

After creating the account, had about 2 hours to roam before I met Mr. Foo (agent). Met him at 5pm where he then took me to see the place. It seems ok, standard room with a bed, cupboard, table and table fan. Guess it should be pretty much enough for me. Later, he then sent me to the Jurong East station where I found my way back to JB.

Back in larkin, JB, there wasn't any busses to Malacca left. It was already 8pm then. I was this close to opting to stay in a hotel, but luckily I managed to contact Shanic who I then spend a night at his place. (Thanks buddy!) In the morning, left his place at 7am. Halfway walking towards the bus stop, I got caught in the rain. It was so heavy that I got soak within a few minutes. Saw a cab, and rented it to the Larkin station. Guess it was my luck as i arrived at 7.45am, but the 7.30am bus was just about to leave. Managed to get onto it and was back in Malacca at 10.30am. It was a cold trip though. Damn!

Back at Central, both Thomas and Virgil were there to fetch me back home. One thing, if it wasn't for my frens, guess I would have struggled much. Right now, I'm a little nervous as I'll be undergoing an operation tomorrow. It's to insert a 5 inches metal plat into my kneecap as it got hurt back when .......haha, just joking. It's just an operation to remove my wisdom tooth. Will probably suffer after that from the pain but I guess it's better to feel the pain now rather than once I'm already in Singapore. Wish me luck!

Bus at 730am.....

2006-09-04T01:44:00.000+08:00

Ok, it's now 0141hrs and I have to catch a bus down to Singapore at 0730hrs. How the hell am I gonna wake up, God only knows. Probably mummy or daddy to the rescue, that is if they themselves don't oversleep as they're at of this moment, wide awake with me as well. So I'll make this a quick one. Had a good futsal match with my friends at Cheng earlier, and got back at around 1230hrs. Finally cooled down and much more relaxed now. Gotta settle my bank account tomorrow and hopefully, manage to find a place there tomorrow. Will update more once I'm back. Right now, "It's shower time!!!".

Merdeka Eve - 30.8.2006

2006-09-02T02:40:00.000+08:00

As per the previous post, I did mentioned that I was kinda busy for these past few days right? Reason was that I had a couple of frens over from Perak. They were Jasmin & Cindy. The first day which they arrived, which was on Merdeka Eve, me and Virgil decided to take them out. Since these gals wanted something different for a change, we then decided to take them to our very own Malacca Zoo. I must admit, it's been a few years since I've last set foot in the zoo. It looks ok though, but another reason for me going there was to see how much has the zoo advanced. Below are a few pictures which I took from my cam. Enjoy!

This Thursday is a PH as it's Independence day for M'sia. So since I'm on OD (off day) for the day, it seems that I'll be entitled for a day in lieu. Also, since after that I'll be on Annual Leave till my official last day on 10.9.2006, the management has approved of me taking my day in lieu in advance. So I decided to take it on Wednesday, the 30.8.06. So least to say that my last day at the office will be tomorrow. Ain't that cool? Another 21hrs from now and I'll be free! WoooHooo!!!!!!

Survey from Kenny's page!

2006-08-27T21:02:00.000+08:00

In regards to the national day which is fast approaching, I did a survey on "How un-Malaysian Are You" on Kenny Sia's page and this is my result:

Congratulations AndyJoe, you are 80% not Malaysian.

That means you're as Malaysian as...

Michael Jackson!

How Un-Malaysian Are You?

The New Line Team!

2006-08-27T17:39:00.000+08:00

Hey hey, I'm back again. Had a fantastic sleep today so I'm feeling kinda fully energize now. Wednesday is fast approaching. I can't wait for that day to come. It'll be my last day to serve Singtel. During my 4 years and 5 months there, I've seen good things and shitty thing. I've even met great frens and shitty frens as well. Thank God the shitty frens didn't last long there either. The only thing that I'll regret leaving behind will be my team & my close frens.

Oh yeah, in regards to one of my previous post "Football Mad Company & Annual Dinner!" dated 15.7.2006, I told that the company was in the world cup mood rite? They had activities and excitement all based on football. One of the activities were the team's dresscode. Well, least to say that the New Line Team were hosting ITALY, the eventual World Cup Champions for the FIFA World Cup 2006. Here's a picture from that day's event. Enjoy!

haha, see if you can find me =D

memories...

Liverpool & me again......

2006-08-27T04:19:00.000+08:00

At last, we've finally recorded our first win of the season over west ham in the EPL 2006/2007 season. Good game, entertaining one too! After the game, me and Thomas went out in a search of a place to chill. Guess what? We actually went round the whole of Malacca town and couldn't eve find a place. Finally also, we ended up at McD, Taman Buaya. Funny, of the time I've been in Malacca, I never knew that Taman Buaya's brach practically closes at 2am each day. If I've known any sooner, would have probably made it one f my "ports" =P Well, from one of the crew there, we learned that McD's opening up it's latest branch in front of Mahkota on this coming 29.8.2006, and it'll be 24hrs! Now I'll know where i'll go when I need a snack in the middle of the night =P.

Well, it's now down to 3 days left- 24 actual hrs of working for Singtel. My days are counting down slowly. Cool! After spending 4 years and 5 months there, I think it's high time for me to move on with my career. The only thing that's bothering me now is a place to stay in Singapore. Well, I guess if i can't find a place by the time I start off there, then I'll have to travel frm JB to Sg each day. Well, I'll just face one headache at a time la.

Hmmm, there's this saying which I've been hearing from most of my frens. "When you go off to Singapore, sure you'll find someone who'll really love you". I've heard this like a few times already in this particular week. Frankly speaking, I'm not really bothered. After what I've been through, I don't think I can settle down in a relationship for now. Perhaps I'd just rather be making frens around rather than settling with just another gal who'll eventually break me up again. Right now, my career comes first! Anyway, thanks to all of you who have been supportive of me. Really appreciate it.

Update, Update and Update!

2006-08-20T23:47:00.000+08:00

Ok, I'm pretty much screwed up now. That is with understanding woman. They're one funny little creature which i can never understand or even know what's on their mind. Then again, some of this species can be very caring and thoughful. Anyway, its been sometime since I last blog here. Reason is because I was pretty much busy with my preparation to leave for Singapore. Not forgeting the last trip to Singapore for me where I was traveling down with a headache. By the time I reached into Singapore, I had to take painkillers to ease myself, so i guess you kinda get my drift as i'm someone who would do my best to stay away from painkillers until I really can't stand it.

Well, my birthday was cool. Had dinner with my family on that day and another dinner with all my close frens the other day. I even had an email from a fren in UK on wishing me for my birthday, Thank you Christine! Well, to be honest the dinners were like farewell dinners instead of birthday dinners. It was kinda the usual dinner for me, single, enjoying myself. Come to think of it, I've never had a someone special with me to spend my birthday wit me, ever.

There's a gal who going through a rough patch at of this moment. Her grandmother's not doing too well, so she's kinda disturb. Well, i insisted on fetching her that night, well, I know that I'm not the type who would go through so much hassle, but I kinda knew what she was going through as I've been there a few months back. In the end, she pretty much got upset with me for doing so. She claims that I don't understand her. Come to think of it now, I really don't understand her. Trying to be considerate, she can get mad at me? Till now also she's upset with me. Well, I ain't gonna lose my temper for this kinda reason, so I'm just gonna wash my hands over her. Do what you wanna do la, accident or wat, I ain't gonna be bothered anymore!

Back to my birthday, i do know whether I've got really sad kinda frens or caring ones. Reason is because of the presents which they gave me. How in the world am I gonna wear what you guys and gals gave me? Anyway, i'm an optimistic person. Prefer to look at it as caring frens. Guess the gifts will be for my next gf, whoever that may be, hahahaha =D.

Right now, I'll probably be busy again. Still searching for a good luggage bag and some personal stuffs. Besides all these, I'm still searching for a room in Singapore. Some rooms are way expensive, so I've gotta opt for the more reasonable ones. S$400 for a room?! Kinda expensive, don't you think so? In the meantime, if I can't find a room yet, i'll be travelling frm JB to Singapore each day till i get a place of my own there. Thank God for Shanic! So till I can sort all these out, I'll be pretty much busy till then. Last day at my company will be on 30.8.06. Guess I'm gonna be the only weird fella shouting MERDEKA one day in advance =P Other than that, I can't wait for that day to come.

Another week has passed.....

2006-08-06T23:31:00.000+08:00

Days, hours and minutes has just flown by. Before I know it, another week has passed. Damn, time's like moving fast these past few days. Maybe because of the plans I have and keeping myself busy during the whole week has made it that way. I really haven't been blogging much too. Come to think of it, I really haven't been spending much time on the net these past few days either.

Met up with Jacquelynn at her place last night. Had to collect a t-shirt from her charity project which she was doing. She's still the cute fair gal which I remembered. HAha! (Bet i'm gonna get pinch for that comment =P) Anyway, the shocking part bout it was when I got back and tried the t-shirt, only to find out that it had a big heartshape on the front - chestpart. According to her, it's something bout keeping the animals(her charity project) close at heart. Ok la, for your sake i'll wear this. After all, i too love animals very much and will support anybody who's trying to do some charity work for animals.

Later on that night, meet up with Nic, Virgie and his gal Shini. We then decided to go clubbing. Finally! Yeah, when you don't have mates to go clubbing, you won't wanna be there at all. Anyway, we tried out the club at City Bayview, Xplode. It was pretty much cool - liveband and so on. After that we headed off for Outact. Honestly speaking, I kinda prefer Xplode more than Outact. The DJ at Outact pretty much ruin the night with his vulgar words during some songs. I mean, WHAT's Up with that, Dude? Maybe you ought to go do some classes on DeeJaying or something. Well, it won't be the last of clubbing for me, I guess. There's always some other clubs yet to be explored =D.

Thank you everybody......in advance before i leave...

People come into our live's for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When we know which one it is, we will know what to do for that person. When someone is in our life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need we have expressed. They have come to assist us through a difficulty, to provide us with guidance and support, to aid us physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason we need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on our part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force us to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer we sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into our life for a SEASON, because our turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring us an experience of peace or make us laugh. They may teach us something we have never done. They usually give us an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season!

LIFETIME relationships teach us lifetime lessons, things we must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Our job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what we have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of our life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

I believe that u guys are here for a reason and been sent to be a apart of my life for a reason....No matter what is the reason ..... i just want to say that i appreciate every single moment spent with u guys....Thanks for being someone in my life ....a friend ...a sister....a companion....a brother......an ex .....etc.

Once again, thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Believe it! I'm a Godfather now! hehehe...

2006-07-29T21:28:00.000+08:00

Man, it took so long for this week to end, but at last, the weekend is finally here. Had an ok week, i guess but Friday ended with a low note. I made a mistake during work, supposed to follow a new standard procedure, but since I've been like doing the same particular job for more than a year, i forgot about the new procedure. Damn, it looks like next week is gonna be another long, long week, just to clear up the mess. Part of me don't really bother because of my plans, but the other part of me feels unhappy as I don't really like making mistakes. Anyway I felt really down, but I'm very grateful to my Team Leader Deana. Really, she is some kind of woman. If I left the office before hearing the advice she had to say to me, I probably wouldn't have slept well that night either. Thank you D.

Other than that, I had a haircut too. My usual barber has been away for quite some time so I had to go to a saloon this time. Well, for those who have seen me lately, well thats me la. Always trying out something new. And I would clearly like to say that I'm no Ah Beng, k? Got my hair dyed and changed my hairstyle. Not bad for someone who's onto a new path of life.

Yup, as the title reads, I'm officially a Godfather now. Sorry la Cheryl and Christine, you both dah promise wanna make me Godpa to your kids, but I guess you both can't be first already la =P Mass was held at the Assumption Chapel in Melaka Raya. My God-child, baby Eleora was practically sleeping throughout the whole mass. She's such an angel. Well, I'll post some pictures of her and me later once I get them from Winnie (Eleora's mum). Till then, lets wait for the new week to come and hopefully I'll get that call soon!

Mood - excited

2006-07-23T23:18:00.000+08:00

yay, blogging time again....I'm kinda excited to blog today, but I can't really tell the real reason for doing so now, due to it's kinda confidential.....for now......All I can say is that things are finally heading into a right direction for me now....in time, all will be revealed.....for those of you who already know (shhhh, probably because ur damn closed to me, tats why u know =P), lay low for now mates! Thanks!

Happy Birthday Nic!

2006-07-19T21:14:00.000+08:00

It's just one of those days again. Back from work with a headache. But after a plate of rice, everything's back to normal. Damn, maybe i should start taking my lunches back =P. Dad tried his belated father's day present from me, his new grasscutter. Well, the garden's back to normal after he was done with it, things look neater now. Skipped gym today to give my aching muscles some rest again.
Guess what day today is? It's Shanic's birthday. Wow, wow, ppl big boy di, hehehe...Have no idea on what do get him for it either. Probably just have a cold stout with him la some day later on. Haha! Anyway, Happy Beerday, opps, i meant Happy Birthday to you, Nic. Below are some pictures dedicated to you: ~Enjoy~

~Guess this must be your favourite~

~and here's a stout too~~and lastly a Carlsberg to end the night~

Perhaps we'd end up looking like the guys in this picture =P

happy birthday,dude! Cheers!

Gone but not forgoten...

2006-07-17T23:38:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was Azy's last day at the office. Farewell and my best wishes to him. Anyway, the team has truely lost one of its whacky, funny, cool and sporting colleague. On behalf of the whole team and myself, all the best to you Azy! By the way, I'll update you if there's any upcoming futsal games. If you can make it, drop by and show off some of your Canavarro's skill la =P

Oh yeah, I did mentioned that I wanted to post some pictures from the Football Mad Dept Week, and guess what! I forgot to install the software to upload the pictures since after my last re-format. In fact, I even forgot bout it's name all together. Haha....*shy la* Now wanna search for the software also lazy di. Later only find la, hehehe =P.

Futsal!

2006-07-15T12:21:00.000+08:00

I have a minor back injury due to me straining in training. Went for a massage and a few days later went for a futsal game. Stupid & crazy, don't you think so? Anyway, reason is that I wanted to test myself, my body. I like challenging myself and this is just one of the ways that I do so. Another reason is that the futsal game will be the last for a colleague of mine. So considered like his "Testimonial Match" la. Haha, anyway all the best to you Azy! Keep in touch too.

World Cup to EPL 2006/2007!

2006-07-15T12:13:00.000+08:00

Hey hey, the World Cup is over and I'm bored now. Damn that Spain, England & Brazil all crased out early. Sigh, even much more sadder is to hear that ZZ ended his career in shame. Dude, what the heck has head-butting an opponent on his chest gotta do with football?! Insults will always be there, it just takes a tough mind to ignore this. Oh well, thats football rite? Well, I can only say that I can't wait for the new EPL season 2006/2007 to begin with. Man, with the likes of who we (Liverpool) has purchased, hopefully we'll do better than last season. Anyway, no point bragging on the team, yet =P, but hopefully we get Chelsea this time! Bring on the new EPL!

Football Mad Company & Annual Dinner!

2006-07-15T11:44:00.000+08:00

A lot of things has happened since the last 2 weeks, been too busy to update or even browse through. Currently listening to Teriyaki Boys - from the soundtrack of Tokyo Drift. (Love the intro part =P) Right, last week the whole department were involved with the World Cup fever. They had competitions of such where i remember the whole department will compete against the other. Each dept were to be hosting a team too. We choosed Italy. So we all came dressed in blue, had our hair painted blue and even painted our faces. It was fun, seeing the whole team mixing and joking around. I'll post some pictures of it later on. Next was our Annual Dinner. It was a buffet style by the poolside. Kinda ok, but I honestly didn't really feel comfortable in the begining. Reason was the back office staffs had to perform on the night and I was involved. Anyway, we did eventually get passed it and it turns out that ours was entertaining. Oh well, the main thing is that we all had fun.

Tokyo-Drift!

2006-06-25T11:48:00.000+08:00

Right, guess I'm pretty much satisfied with the new lay-out and style. Opted for something brighter, like buang suay la, haha. Yesterday went to see Tokyo-Drift (Fast & Furious 3), man all those drifting makes me like "itchy" only, wish I could do that, but too bad don't have the wheels to do so. Even if i try to do it, I ought to get a bigger insurance plan. Haha...but the cars there sure damn cun! Went to watch with my fellow ex-colleague, Jacinta aka Korean Gal. Even she too was facinated with the cars. The storyline was like, as usual la, race race, then fight in between over a gal, then final race. But the ending part, when one of my favourite actor made his return appearance was the biggest surprise of the show. Guess Fast & Furious 4 is gonna be good, hopefully there is one. Anyway, after the movie, we headed back to the car. When I opened the car, I smelt a cigarette smell. Guess what, the car got broke into. The stuffs in the glove compartment were all on the floor, even the prayer books (Family car, k). From then on, I quickly check around if I lost anything or no, luckily didn't. Made a phonecall to dad to ask whether did he left anything important in the car or not, luckily he didn't. Guess the cuplit only wanted money, but too bad man, we don't keep valuables in the old car. If it was my sis's Kelisa, finish man. Sure I'm gonna have a big headache. Anyway, after making sure that we didn't lose anything, me and Jacinta headed on back home. Man, knowing that someone has been in your privacy, makes you feel like unsatisfied. Felt like punching the BASTARD, darned it that he wasn't there around. Sigh....Oh well, I guess some things just happens to some people, right? Could be my day, could be not. Just thank God that nothing important got stolen.

BLOG MAKEOVER!

2006-06-17T15:32:00.001+08:00

Blog is under a makeover!
Will update again once I'm satisfied with the new look.

Compassionate Leave Week

2006-05-18T12:30:00.000+08:00

Today's the last day of my compassionate leave. Have been on leave since Monday (3 working days) + my off days thus = from last Sunday till Today (Thursday). Well, it's a sad thing to have lost my grandma, but in a way, i'm happy for her as she's now in a better place and not suffering anymore. Grandma passed away on Saturday night at 1155pm. yup, another 5 more minutes till Mother's Day. Kinda of weird rite? But this shows that all of us can just go at any moment when we're called to go. So my advice to you all, cherish the moment you have now with all your love ones and friends, cause you'll never know that it could be your final moment with them.

Other than that, here I am again also happy that Liverpool won the FA Cup. Could have lost though, but i guess it was already fated for us to win it. We did conceded 2 stupid goals in the first half, one own goal, and another the gk fumbled, but we did snatch back a brilliant gooal through Cisse to pull one back just before halftime. Apart from that, in the second half Gerrard scored a thunderous shot right frm 25 yards to pull us leveled at 2 all. But then, Konchesky tried to cross the ball, but the ball landed back into the net to give West Ham the lead over us at 3-2. Man, at this moment I though it's all over. But througout the end of the second half at 85th or 87th minute "it" happened. Gerrard received a through ball from someone and he fired right at goal from 35 yards and it landed at the back of the net. That was a "beauty". The game then went on till extra time but even the 30 minutes couldn't produce a winner for either sides. So thus it went on to penalty shoot-outs and we won 3-1. Thanks to the heroics of GK Reina. Guess he must have made admendments for his mistakes earlier on. Well, cheers to West Ham for putting on a good fight and also helping us to make this an FA Cup classic.

Ok, ok. I know, enough but football, but well you know me la, Liverpool's my favourite club ma. Ok, my sis is also in Canada for a month. Went on to visit her darling there. Hope she brings home some goodies for me, hehe.....(hope you're reading this =P).

Made a trip to Subang to visit Wen Wei too. Spent the day watching movies and had lunch together. That was nice and something for me to cherrish. I hope she did enjoyed herself too. Wen Wei's Leing was at first merajuk at dowan to come out of her cage. Later on, she did came out and hang out with us. Hmmm, merajuk, then become friendly, guess she must have caught that attitude from the owner =P. But I really like her too and she's so cute. Wanna manja her only. Tor-Toi as usual, trying to mastermind some "great-escape" plan, but hard to beat his Mistress as she has a full-proff cell for him, but with food all around. haha. That's it la.

Back to malacca, did some house cleaning. Suddenly only the mood came. Collected a basket full of clothes to be wash from around the house and a big black plasticbag full of rubbish of stuffs that we don need. Did raided Lynn's & Mom's "shoe teritory" and found some old shoe boxes. God knows why they're keeping them, so off with them. well, then the rest as usual, sweep and mop. And now I'm here blogging away to pass my time. Probably be hooked up on a game right after this. That's it for now, will blog here again when somebody passaway...opps, i mean when I'm free again, hehe.....=P. Chioz!

Ponder to this ===>

2006-05-16T14:34:00.000+08:00

THE POPE GETS BEHIND THE WHEEL (Another Pope Joke)

2006-05-13T21:35:00.000+08:00

After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still standing on the curb. "Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver," Would you please take your seat so we can leave?" "Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a cardinal, and I'd really like to drive today. "I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I can't let you do that. I'd lose my job! And what if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning. "Who's going to tell? Besides, there might be something extra in it for you," says the Pope with a smile. Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport,the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105mph. (Remember, he's a German Pope.) "Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!" pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens. "Oh, dear God, I'm gonna lose my license -- and my job!" moans the driver. The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio. "I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher. The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that the's stopped a limo going 105 mph.

"So bust him," says the Chief.

"I don't think we want to do that, he's really important," said the cop.

The Chief exclaimed," All the more reason!"

"No, I mean really important," said the cop with a bit of persistence.

The Chief then asked, "Who ya got there, the Mayor?"

Cop: "Bigger."

Chief: " Governor?"

Cop: "Bigger."

"Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"

Cop: "I think it's God!"

The Chief is even more puzzled and curious: "What makes you think it's God?"

Cop: "He's got the Pope as a chauffeur!

One Flaw In Women

2006-05-13T21:30:00.000+08:00

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about

a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they

think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss

can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what

makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their

family and friends.

Women have vital things to say

and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH!

The day of the tooth removal.

2006-04-28T22:21:00.000+08:00

Today 28.4.06, i finally removed my my wisdom tooth. It has been hurting me for the last week, forcing me to eat Tosai for the whole week. Finally today, all I had was liquid, and nothing else. In order to remove the tooth, a minor surgery was needed. The doctor was great at putting my gums to numb. Though I'm sure that it's official to them that I'm their worst ever customer. Guess their profesionalism was the thing that really got the best out of me. Right now, I don't intend on typing long as I'm seriously in pain. Thanks to a few colleagues who took the trouble to message me to find out on how I was doing, I felt a little better. Will probably update more once I'm feeling much better and I have the mood and time.

Prayer on Easter Day

SO ESSENTIAL A PRAYER: ---- God.com

Dear Lord,
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:

God bless all my family,
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so important to me.

And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.

Please take an extra minute
>From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
that's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits "send".

When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.com

Amen

Holy Thursday

let's see how observant you ppl are =D

Me, myself & I

2006-03-05T23:02:00.000+08:00

going nutz

Well, that's pretty much how i feel now. As some of you all know, I've already quit my college due to the reasons which I've mentioned as per below. I'm planning to take up nursing, yeah, you heard me correctly, nursing! I feel that my qualities which i have in myself is well suited for this job, plus it's a field where it's worth getting into.

So right now, I'm currently having a few options. The first one is Pantai Medical, but the problem of getting into there is my BM. They want a minimum credit, too bad I only had a 7. I've already applied to re-take my Bm in the July paper which, by the way is in June. Frankly speaking, I'm a little puzzled as to why they named it July paper when the paper is actually held in June. Probably due to the results which will be in July? Not too sure myself.

My second option would be MAHSA (Malaysian Allied Health Science Academy). Well here as to what I enquired from their representive, Miss Claire at the Education Fair which was held in Century Mahkota, Malacca, BM pass is ok, should be able to get in. The only problem would be the fees. So since I can't afford the payment of 6 k per semester, I need to find a sponsor.

I then went on to Putra hospital, formerly known as Southern Hospital, which by the way, do have the nursing course. Made some enquiries from a nurse named Miss, err, forgot her name, but a very helpful indian lady. She directed me to go to the 11th floor? Yeah, 11th floor to look for a Miss Yun or Yin or Ain, can't recall either. Well, she was off and her assistant, I guess, attended to me. She seem to be rushing, no idea why, but according to her, Putra do sponsor student who are taking nursing course, but they will be pushed to their own college, named Kolej Teknologi Islam Kuala Sungai Baru. Well, no offence, but the name is like, err, u get what i mean rite? Probably gonna be like my second case if I were to join there, and besides, my options are Pantai or MAHSA actually.

Came back, met my fren Roxanne online, and according to her, her mom's someone who's teaching in Kolej Kejururawatan Hospital Melaka. But she can't tell me much details as she herself don have any of them. She'll let me know more details once she gets them from her mom.

So in summary, I'll say that I do have several options, but no answers yet. This is really making me confuse as I'm feeling somewhat panicky. I don't even know why. Well, it's good that I'm able to let it all out here in my blog. If anybody have some advice or are able to lend a helping hand, feel free to do so, k? Gonna need it. But if you planning on bragging (you know who you are) or just teasing me, (you know who you are here too!) mind you as I'm not in the mood for all those. Get my message? Thanx.

KUTTAPPAN.

2006-03-03T20:37:00.000+08:00

Kuttappan is a Indian

Kuttappan was bragging to his Boss one day, "You know..... I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone important, and I'm sure I will know them."

Tired of his boasting, his Boss called his bluff, "OK, Kuttappan, how about Tom Cruise?" Kuttappan replies "Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it."

So Kuttappan and his Boss fly out to Hollywood and knock, on Tom Cruise's door and sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts," Hey Kutz!! Great to see you! You and your friend must come in and join me for lunch!"

They have a blast of a time. Katie Holmes even personally packs 2 sets of Masala Dosas, which is of course specially made by their South Indian chef. They bid each other farewell.

Although impressed, Kuttappan's Boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Kuttappan that he thinks Kuttappan's knowing Cruise was just lucky. Kuttappan says "No, no, you go ahead and just name anyone else." "President Bush!" his Boss quickly retorts. Kuttappan says "Yes, OK, but I am telling you I don't like him very much, he is very cunning, anyway let's fly out to Washington."

And off they go. At the White House, Bush spots Kuttappan on the tour and motions him and his Boss over, saying, "Kuttans! What a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting. The CIA just informed me Osama is heading for the Pakistan Border, Hey Kuttans, are you still on speaking terms with Osama, maybe you could confirm the information for me? Oh never mind! You and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up."

Well, the Boss is much shaken by now, but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds, he expresses his doubts to Kuttappan who again implores him to name anyone else. "The Pope!" his Boss replies.

"Sure! This I like, I've been meaning to see him, he is not keeping too well y'know" says Kuttappan. "And I have a lot of friends in Vatican; it's like my second home! And me and the Pope go back a long way, surely this will be a good trip"

So off they fly to Rome. Kuttappan and his Boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Kuttappan says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards, so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." The Boss shakes his head unbelievably and says "Yeah right!!"

Still so, Kuttappan disappears into the crowd, headed towards the Vatican. Sure enough, half an hour later Kuttappan emerges with the Pope on the balcony, waves to the crowds with the Pope and takes leave. But by the time Kuttappan returns, he finds that his Boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.

Working his way to his Boss' side, Kuttappan asks him, "What happened?"

His Boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, and "Who's that on the balcony with Kuttappan?

I’m back! Yeah, I owe this blog some updating, am I correct, Miss Wen Wei? Well, the truth is that recently I’ve been going through a lot. Last week I bought my very own MP3 player. FINALLY! That’s what some of you people will say, sorry la, me ain’t that rich as you guys, can just buy stuffs without thinking (though sometimes I’m a culprit myself). And as usual, all kinds of music files has been put into it (what to do, I don’t have any favorite kind of music) mostly according to my mood. Well I find it kinda useful as I’m able to use it during my jogs. (motivated la!) Imagine this, having some kind of dance music while you’re doing a jog. I’m not too sure, but recently I’ve been jogging a lot. Maybe it’s due to the fact that I’ve quit college. (Hell Yeah!). I’m currently applying to re-sit my July paper. (my BM Sux!). Why did I quit my college? Well, I’m just doing a diploma course, which when I enrolled into it, was hoping to learn bout stuffs regarding computers and was planning to major into either server or networking. Well too bad the college had some other ideas as we were like being taught bout stuffs like businesses and letter writing as well. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind learning bout new stuffs but when I enrolled into it, I wanted to learn bout computers, and they’re only like teaching just the basic. Kinda like wasting my time rite? Even that, it’s a small college where you see different lecturers every semester. Yeah, even the lecturers are leaving as well. So I’m planning on to re-sit my BM paper, and yeah, I have other plans as well. I’ll update here once it’s confirmed. So, today the whole day I’ve been running around all over the place, getting stuffs, signatures, even went back to my old school for that. Managed to get a bowl of Kuey Tiow Ta (my schoolmates will know what it means to all of us), visit the school chapel (boy, I sure do miss my school) and met a few old teachers. Then to the post office, some staffs were not helpful, but I managed to get helped from an old colleague of my dad’s. After all that, I had to run to the Jabatan Pendidikan Melaka to submit all these. Well, the rest ain’t that important, but these are the major issues that have been bugging me during the past few weeks, month, or whenever you see me occupied in thoughts or actions la. So just HOPE FOR THE BEST! for me. I’ll update stuffs bout myself here when I’m free (& also when I have the mood as well =P). -AndyJoe out!-

How to select the right candidate for the job....

2006-01-18T11:48:00.000+08:00

Put about 100 bricks in no particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2-3 candidates into the room and close it from the outside. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours, and then analyse the situation:

(a) If they are counting and recounting the number of bricks -
PUT THEM IN ACCOUNTS.

(b) If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks -
PUT THEM IN ENGINEERING.

(c) If they are arranging the bricks in some other order -
PUT THEM IN PLANNING.

(d) If they are throwing the bricks at each other -
PUT THEM IN OPERATIONS.

(e) If they are sleeping -
PUT THEM IN SECURITY.

(f) If they have broken the bricks into pieces -
PUT THEM IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

(g) If they are sitting idle -
PUT THEM IN THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT.

(h) If they have thrown the bricks out of the window -
PUT THEM IN THE LOGISTICS DEPARTMENT.

(i) If they have already left for the day -
PUT THEM IN MARKETING.

(j) If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has moved -
PUT THEM IN TOP MANAGEMENT.

Ghost? Guess Again......

2005-10-18T02:27:00.000+08:00

A professor at Texas A & M University was giving a lecture of the supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks, "How many people here believe in ghosts?"

About 90 students raise their hands.

"Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?"

About 40 students raise their hands.

"That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?"

About 15 students raise their hand.

"Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" 3 students raise their hands.

"That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further...

Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?"

Way in the back, Bubba raises his hand.

The professor takes off his glasses, and says "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience".

The big redneck student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium. When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, "So, Bubba, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?"

Bubba replied, "Shiiiit! From way back there I thought you said "Goats."

Pope V.S Ah Peh....Good one...

2005-10-18T02:18:00.000+08:00

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Chinese had to leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Chinese Community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Chinese Community. If the Chinese win, they could stay. If the Pope wins, the Chinese would leave. The Chinese realized that they had no other choice. So they picked a middle-aged man named Ah Peh to represent them. Ah Peh asked for one condition to be added to the debate. "To make it more interesting", he said, "neither side would be allowed to talk". The Pope agreed.

The day of the great debate came. Ah Peh and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute.Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Ah Peh looked backat him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Ah Peh pointed to the ground at where he sat. The Pope pulled out a loaf and a glass of wine. Ah Peh pull out an apple.

The Pope stood up and said: "I give up. This man is too good. The Chinese can stay."An hour later, the cardinals were all around The Pope asking him what happened?. The Pope said, "first I held up three fingers to represent the holy trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions." "Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us." He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with us.""I pulled out the wine and loaf to show that God absolves all sin. He showed me an apple to remind us of the original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?"

Meanwhile, the Chinese community had crowded around AhPeh. "What happened?"they asked. "Well," said Ah Peh, "First he indicated to me that all Chinese had 3 days to get out of here. I replied to him f*@k off and not one of us was leaving." "Then he pointed that this whole city would be cleared of Chinese. I showed him that we are staying right here. "Yes, and then???" asked the crowd. "I don't know", said Ah Peh, "He took out his lunch, and I took out mine la!!!"

Another Joe......

2005-10-18T02:06:00.000+08:00

Joe, a college student, was taking a course in ornithology, the study of birds. The night before the biggest test of the semester, Joe spent all night studying. He had the textbook nearly memorized. He knew his class notes backward and forward. Joe was ready.

The morning of the test, Joe entered the auditorium and took a seat in the front row. On the table in the front was a row of ten stuffed birds. Each bird had a sack covering its body, and only the legs were showing. When class started, the professor announced that the students were to identify each bird by looking at its legs and give its common name, species, habitat, mating habits, etc.

Joe looked at each of the birds' legs. They all looked the same to him. He started to get angry. He had stayed up all night studying for this test and now he had to identify birds by their LEGS? The more he thought about the situation, the angrier he got. Finally he reached his boiling point.

He stood up, marched up to the professor's desk, crumpled up his exam paper and threw it on the desk. "What a ridiculous test!" he told the prof. "How could anyone tell the difference between these birds by looking at their legs? This exam is the biggest rip-off I've ever seen!" With that, Joe turned and stormed toward the exit.

The professor was a bit shocked, and it took him a moment to regain his composure. Then, just as Joe was about to walk out the door, the prof shouted out, Wait a minute, young man, what's your name?" Joe turned around, pulled up his pant, showed his legs and hollered, "You tell me, prof! You tell me!"

Another Blond Joke....

2005-10-18T02:03:00.000+08:00

A blonde phones her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help
me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get
started."
Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
The blonde says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster."
Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle.
She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over
the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box,
then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're
not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster."
He takes her hand and says, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have
a nice cup of tea, and then....."

he said with a deep sigh

"............
Let's put all these Corn Flakes back in the box."

This is Dedicated to Wen Wei, Ching Ying, Christine & Jude - Subang's Medical Students...hehe...

My Birthday Makan on 20.8.05 - Dedicated To Shanon, The IronMan =)

2005-08-26T22:49:00.000+08:00

Hi there friends, good day to you all. It’s been quite some time since I’ve actually really talked about what that has been going on around me. Well, guess what? I’m finally 21 years of age. A few of my friends have actually been asking how I celebrated my 21st birthday. To summarized, it was a little of romance, comedy, drama, thriller, science-fiction, entertainment…no no…just kidding… it was like more of a happy ending. So let me tell you what happened…before that, I sincerely apologize now if I have or might offend anybody with what I’m about to exposed of.

The main day was taken place on the 20th of August 2005. It was a dinner held at Newton food court, (sorry la ppl, low budget! =P) Banda Hilir, Malacca. I invited over all my close friends and my kaki’s also too. Those present were Ruth, Barnabas, Virgil, Thomas, Cheryl, Ah Kee, Daniel and last but not least, Shanic. (names mentioned here were from who arrived first till who arrived last). Oh yeah, not to forget, I did had a lunch meeting up with Wen Wei, and her 2 close girlfriends, Christine & Ching Ying. That was on the 10th of August 2005 at Mcdonalds, MidValley and a one-on-one match..opps..i meant dinner with Christine Vaz (my kawan who couldn’t make it on the 20.8.05).

So back to the main dinner part, after Newton’s makan, we then headed off to the pool & snooker parlor in Senyum Super, Melaka Raya. Not too far, just ok la. We spent about an hour and half there while shooting some balls, and watching some football. (Actually it was me, the only one really watching football, others were just admiring the ball moving around, cha boh ma =P). Ok, from here, in came in Greg, Mr. Half Titanium, Half Carbon-Fibre….hahaha…his nickname coz he’s one hell on a martial artist. He joined us for a game of pool and hang around. We did bump into my couz, Edmund, Joshua, Darian, Adrian and his gal, Alice.

So, after pool, we then headed off to the new mamak at Charming, Bukit Baru. 6 cars leh, 2 Satria’s, one Kenari, one Wira, one Saga, and a Toyota. All also gila, but lets not go there, or else I’m gotta do some explaining. *Ahem, *Ahem. Understand la k? At mamak, second round. Here, Shanon joined in the cast. Actually he was already there before us. Superman la the fella. Also Robocop. (Relax la, I’ll explain slowly). That time, it was already about 2am di, Shanic & Virgil went off to send Ruth & Barnabas back. Thomas sent Cheryl back. About 20mins later, Shanon excused himself and headed home. Few minutes later, Shanic was back. Oh yeah, before Shanon went back, Marvin (PRIDE member) joined us also. So we all were chatting when suddenly, dum dum dum dum…Shanic had a phone call. He then ran from the table heading towards his car, started the engine, and Vrooommmm…like mad man..haha..The rest of us were like, What the…Mad Kah?....Virgil then rang Shanic up to find out wat was going on. From Virgil, we learnt that Shanic received the call from his parents saying that his brother Shanon, met with an accident.

So like real la, the 5 of us headed to Shanic’s house. Hazard light si boh, all 5 cars. Wat to do, emergency ma. When we reached Shanic’s house, his parents were about to leave to Pantai Medical Centre. Police also came. (guess they must have been wondering why 5 cars all crazy on hazard light). After explaining to the police(small hal la, relax la), me, Virgil and Shanic headed towards Pantai Medical. Greg, Marvin and Ah Kee made their move from Shanic’s house. On the way there, we called Thomas to meet us there.

We met Thomas at Pantai, and Shanon was ok. Had cuts and bruises here n there, but thank God, he was fine. He didn’t felt a thing. I thought maybe he was crying in pain or what, but he was cool only. His mother la call him Iron man. We pulak called him Robocop. Hahaha….He and his family then headed home, while myself, Thomas, Virgil & Shanic headed off for 3rd round at Hang Tuah. We met my couz n co again. Sigh, guess Malacca must be damn small. That was already bout 4am. About 5, we headed towards the seaside, Klebang beach. Chit chat n so on. (wish somebody could have been with me at this time =P) Bout 530am, we headed home. I reached home bout 5.45am. Was trying to install my present (hehe…really happy for it). And my day then ended at 6.45am.

Well, that was the main highlight la, but if I did offend anybody or left out some minor parts out, please forgive me. But end of story, it was my 21st birthday celebration and indeed it’s a very memorable one for me. Hope you all liked it. Anything, just update me in my chatterbox. This is AndyJoe signing out!

Undercover Fathers.....hehe

2005-08-25T10:10:00.000+08:00

Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation. They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy.

As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc. The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their "tourist" garb.

They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a "drop dead gorgeous" topless blonde in a thong bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed them she smiled and said "Good Morning, Father. Good Morning, Father." nodding and addressing each of them individually, then passed on by.

They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests?

So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them.

Once again, in their new attire, settled on the beach in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a while, the same gorgeous topless blonde, wearing a string, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them.

Again she nodded at each of them, said "Good morning, Father. Good morning, Father." and started to walk away.

One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said. "Just a minute young lady."

"Yes, Father?" "We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world did you know we are priests, dressed as we are."

"Father, it's me, Sister Angela." she replied

Welllll, This is the Big John!!!...hehehe....

2005-08-25T10:03:00.000+08:00

One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along his route. No problems for the first few stops -- a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.

At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.

Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it.

The next day the same thing happened -- Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong -- what's more, he felt really good about himself.

So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't pay!," the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, "Oh yeah? And why not?!"

With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a bus pass."

Moral of the story:
Be sure there really is a problem before working hard to solve it.

This Blond actually outsmarted this lawyer...cool!

2005-08-07T13:35:00.000+08:00

A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long
flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if
she would like to play a fun game. The blonde just wants to take
a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to
catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the
game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains "I ask you a
question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and
visa-versa." Again, she politely declines and tries to get some
sleep.

The lawyer, now some what agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't
know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I
will pay you $50!" figuring that since she is a blonde that he
will easily win the match. This catches the blonde's attention
and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless
she plays, agrees to the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from
the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches
in to her purse, pulls out a $5 bill and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer: "What goes up
a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?" The lawyer
looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop
computer and searches all his references. He taps into the
Airphone with his modem and searches the Net and the Library of
Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his coworkers and
friends. All to no avail.

After over an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $50. The
blonde politely takes the $50 and turns away to get back to
sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the
blonde and asks, "Well, so what IS the answer!?" Without a word,
the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes
back to sleep.

Wanna Get Screwed? hahaha..

2005-08-07T13:32:00.000+08:00

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."

"What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"

"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.

Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.

Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.

Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.

Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.

Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.

Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"

"Good," said the new husband, "but, why?"

"You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed"..

Last Day....

2005-08-07T13:29:00.000+08:00

It was the mailman's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood.

When he arrived at the first house on his route he was greeted by the whole family there, who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a big gift envelope.

At the second house they presented him with a box of fine cigars.

The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures.

At the fourth house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee.

She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door, and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced.

When he had had enough they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast, eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles, and fresh squeezed orange juice.

When he was truly satisfied she poured him a cup of steaming coffee.

As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge. "All this was just too wonderful for words," he said, "but what's the dollar for?"

"Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what to give you."

He said, "Fuck him, give him a dollar."

The lady then said, "The breakfast was my idea."

Poor Grandpa, he went to fast...

2005-08-07T13:27:00.000+08:00

On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95 year old grandmother and comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."

Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.

"Oh no, my dear, " replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."

She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today".....
