New phone, old line

After the incident 2 weeks ago, I bought over my colleague's phone. Motorola E398. Looks new. Getting used to the Motorola interface. The surround sound from the phone is kinda cool. Still discovering....sigh...makes me think of my lost phone. So many other features that I havent look at yet...

Okay, been busy with work. Slowed down the past few days. Money also still that low...credit card bills unsettled. Ok...been complaining bout lack of money since Day 1, but it's the truth. Eating out with my colleagues during lunch is still that hurting to my pocket. Yesterday was Dragon-i...cost RM25 for each. But it was goooood food...so no complaints. REALLY good xiao long bao~! and also the Shanghai noodles. GOOD GOOD.

Makan session with the Kura-Kura-ians last weekend. Sat was at Gold Leaf, eat dishes with rice. Sun was in Port Klang, eating noodles...mostly spicy stuff, Kok Wai was trying very hard to eat. Hahah...poor thing. Think when the guys ordered they totally forgot bout KW. He ended up with 3 glasses of cincau~! :P The food? Not bad at all. Never explored Klang for food that much...till I met the Kura-Kura-ians. Last weekend, we had this small ceremony in Chiang Wei's place to mark the end of the badminton match that lasted for 2 months. Haha...yea...longer than World Cup... :p Certs were passed out and we had COLD Dominos pizza coz our dear Fatt was late. After that was squash session where Chiang Wei accidentally hit the squash ball to my eye~!!! I'm ok lar...just blueblack. Still got a mark.... hopefully it gets well before my parents return for this weekend.

So that's all for this time...can't believe my friend said blogging is a waste of time...wow...his words, sank in there and then. If you're reading this, I'm ok, I respect other ppl's decisions... :) Lunch ...~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pure rotten luck

Name: Sony Ericsson W500
Lifetime: 8 months
Case: STOLEN~! @ Gurney Plaza, Penang

What the heck is wrong with the society these days mann....My precious was stolen from me on that particular Saturday where I thought I was lucky enough to catch Click and also buy some stuff for half price~!!~ The world of unfairness..Of course, I am to be blamed for it also coz I wasn't careful enough. This is soooooo sad...................... Penang...some memories MAN....

I'm currently sending over files back to KV, been tired and sleepless the past nite..rushing to finish all. This is like torture....although the up part bout the whole trip to Penang is meeting up with my friends...and GOOD FOOD. I've gained back all the weight I lost the past week. But there's also the down part on the phone thingy...SIGHH...alrite...practically brain dead and not processing alot of things well..better write in another time...

PENANG

Mention Penang and all you can think is: FOOD~! Been here for 5 days already, only ate like normal yesterday. Before that was busy driving around for my scan drive. Being paired with a weak partner is not encouraging plus all the problems with the equipment. WHICH in the end of the day needed another team to help us out. They are here today and WOW, we're here in this deluxe suite. :P Better than those RM80 - RM100 /day hotels.

Yesterday was bad, I kinda reached breaking point. After that, I realised that I'm working with a very united and supportive team. Which is another push for myself to work harder. All I have to learn now is to not stress myself out that easy. Think it's the no-communication with my partner is the one causing the anxiety and insecurity. So crazy man... but one msg from KY(my supervisor)...he said this: "YL, don't think so much, there's not big problems that we cannot solve,take care".

With that said, I cried. I cried for thinking so much, I cried coz I lost confidence, I cried coz i was just plain stupid. But I know how much my teammates support me, so I'm all well and will do better. I just need to stop making mistakes...I SERIOUSLY need to learn that. Actually before the Penang trip, Chow(my previous supervisor) was very helpful in finding a place for me to stay. Gosh, I love my colleagues a lot.

SO, it's getting late. I'm on the 29th floor of Northam Hotel, overlooking the sea. Simply magnificent. I'm gonna spend my weekend here. Kinda last minute decision, but will make an effort to meet up with all my friends. So far met up with ST, CK, Kok Hui, Shaun, Foong Tek, Cheng Mun and Kenneth. Will be meeting up Poh Imm and William. The rest...I'll see how. :) So will sign off frm Penang. It had been a tiring, crazy but most of all, a week of discovery. :D

Stress at work

Wow...I'm finally feeling that STRESS...Been crazy these few days with the database stuff. Killing my eyes with excel... That day was more stressed out when the engineer told me I have limited time to executed some commands. Damn scaryyyy.....

Anyway...it's getting close to ONE year. Yea...in a couple of days actually. Going to treat myself with something good. Still not sure what is that yet. Kinda broke this month having to pay for my car insurance and Penang and family day thingy this coming Saturday.

Last weekend...Beggar chicken. Well...one thing for sure is I wont be making a second trip back there to eat. All the stuff kinda taste the same...something like stewed herbal chicken/duck/pork leg.The boneless fish was interesting, but in the end, just tasted like some fish cake. Soup also tasted like some normal pig intestine soup that you can find it at any normal hawker stall. Rating: 2 out of 5.

Oh ya..the Tmn Wahyu Fish Head Curry. Again, expectations were a bit too high, so kinda disappointed in the end. Same thing as Beggars Chicken. Expensive, not worth the money and travel time.

Food talk eh...hmm...since we're there. There's this nice place in Bdr Puteri. Bumbu Bali. Had Mell's bday there. I think the food is quite okay. Balinese food. Most of the marination had a touch of lemongrass taste in it. With other spices I assume. Portion quite big when you're talking bout those Nasi type of orders. For the ladies menu, well...it's a small small portion. Kinda felt like being ripped off.... :P but then, it's low fat and all that crap lar. As friend stated, food with that spice taste can only last one or 2 trips, and you'll get bored of it.

Another one that I like now is O~Viet. in Sunway. Nice food, nice restaurant...nice drink~!! There's only one cold drink that I like from there....DST5: 3 bean mix. ..or something like that. The hot drink? Drip-Coffee....STRONG AND SIMPLY GOOD. food wise...so far, most of the stuff that I tasted is kinda nice. Again with the taste of the lemongrass, but it's really good food.

Jap food....ZEN. My TOP list of food to eat when I have the money. Can be quite expensive, but food is good, so no other bad comments.Place is nice, quite, ambience is there. Sunway also. Must be a place to try out...Sashimi is fresh...havent tried their sushi. Unagi is not that bad there either.

Fast food wise...I kinda like the KFC BBQ Cheesy meltz...not that bad. McD's beef foldover is also good. Pizzza hut...i like their pasta range...currently looking at the Prawn Olio. only tasted once...need to try it again to really confirm it's nice. :P

Well well...enough of food talk already. Going off....it's another tiring day. It's been a moody day for me...I just want it all to go away, but I guess only that someone can help me with it...sighh...
