Well...did the inevitable: REFORMAT! No other choice. Now machine cleaned liao...but after putting back all the software I need, it's already 20GB gone~! Not really sure what I put in it.
CNY CNY ... boring CNY this year. Was happy to see my nieces though. Had a great time with them. Went back to Bidor this year, nothing changed. My cousins are all grown up though. 4 pretty girls, one handsome guy and one more naughty irrespectful brat. Can't really blame him for what he's become. His dad passed away a few years ago, his mom is a little slow and his uncles just spoils him. It was actually a very short CNY celebration this year. Started only when my brother came back on CNY eve and ended after they went back on the 3rd day of CNY. The house was so quiet after they left, wasn't that used to it suddenly.
Last weekend was a quiet + crazy one. Went for mahjong session at CJ's. Kalah ...sad, dunno how much I lost in that house. Then went over to CW's. We all spent the night chitchatting till morning~! Then dimsum session...Really crazy lar.

Dong Dong Chiang....
CNY is here...Can finally feel it~! Only a couple of days away. Excited..coz mom will be back!! Finally bought parents the Imperial Wine, hopefully it;s something good la. Kinda ran out of ideas on what to get them. Last year was Eu Yan Sang, this year Imperial, next year ???? Don't know. Can't get them electrical stuff, coz they don't really use it. Chicken essence? My mom have dozens of that, unfinished yet. Bird's Nest, brother already gave them that. So if I run out of idea next year, it'll only be cash for them to buy whatever they want la. Since they're most of the time in Singapore, me giving them RM is just a small figure after conversion...SIGH....
It's another V-Day...I don't have that special someone to share it with yet....I have a group of single friends who planned for a dinner + birthday celebration. It's suppose to be 1st year anniversary for the Kura-Kura group...can't believe it's already a year since we all met and set up the group. True enough that throughout the year there's a lot of drama that went on. Truthfully, all this while didn't even think of it much till some of them actually took it personally to be something negatively wrong. So let's hope the coming year, all that drama will dissolve into something good? Thean is leaving for India soon. Not sure the whole group is aware of that, but will make an effort to get all of them together for his farewell.
So that's it for this entry, just a shoutout to all my colleagues who reads my blog: THANK YOU PEOPLE. No idea why u all interested in this crap also.

Meeting boys...erm...MEN
It was a weekend of nothing accomplished, except continuing watching TVB Drama and supposedly CNY shopping which ended up only buying a book~!! Totally not CNY related. And then, my friend, J told me the story of her date the night before:
Characters: J and HSL
First version of the story(She wasn't comfortable of telling all since we had another company with us)
J met HSL on the internet in a friend-finding program. They corresponded through email and exchanged numbers. Was supposed to meet last week, but she got caught up with work that time. So they finally met on Saturday for dinner. Dinner was okay, then after that J suggested Genting. So they went. Stepped into a disco there, danced. They came down from Genting about 2am+. She reached home at 3+am.
Second version of the story(It's me and her alone)
J met HSL on the internet in a friend-finding program. They corresponded through email and exchanged numbers. Was supposed to meet last week, but she got caught up with work that time. So they finally met on Saturday for dinner. He started making moves on her during dinner.Then after that, thinking that it's too bored to do anything in town, J suggested Genting. So they went. HSL occasionally tried to whisper to her ears and taking the chance to lick her ears. They stepped into a disco there,filled with a lot of foreiners. They were dancing and HSL was very "forceful" with his dance moves. Especially pulling J's hand to him and pushing his little friend down there on her. They came down from Genting about 2am+. HSL suggested to J to go up to his house with a promise that nothing will happen. She being a little terrified then of course said no and he dropped her back at her car. She reached home at 3+am. While on the road, she was followed by 3 cars which was on her left, right and back.

MY thoughts:
1) It's good that she mentioned about the date to me the day before, well, at least a friend knows what's happening IF there's something to happen.
2) It was a foolish move to let your guard down when going out with someone that you just met. She should have brought a weapon at least.
3) Another foolish thing was continuing on with the date although she knew HSL intentions were bad. She said she might just be too desperate to be with someone.
4) Most men you meet these days, especially those you met online have only one intention when they meet you: SEX.
5) If she would have went up to HSL's house, she'll be date raped. She herself said it~!
6) If you all are still wondering, I don't know the name of the guy, HSL just stands for none other than HAM SAP LOU~!
With that said, seems like the possibility that I meet a decent guy in the coming year would be close to zero? Will let fate to decide, let's hope I don't get into a situation that my friend got into...She was still a little shaken up after the whole incident.

Spring is here?
I'm just waiting for the CNY mood to kick in....I wonder how long it'll take. Probably when I really start with the spring cleaning is when it'll come. So let's see the checklist for stuff to do before CNY:
1) Clean up my room/house ...... Negative
2) Buy CNY biscuits ......Negative
3) Decorate the house .....Negative
4) Shop for new clothes.... Negative
5) Shop for present for parents ... Negative
Sigh...nothing is done~! It;s less than a month to CNY~!!!! But one thing I know, my dad will be coming back before CNY to do the stocking up of food stuff. Hmm..by then I hope my room will be cleaned! Always wonder how I can live with the messiness( is there such word?? ).
I'll be getting my biscuits today...haha, at least some thing done in that checklist. Next is to get stuff that I can hang around the house. Year of the Boar, according to the PDF file, it's going to be a good year for the Dog people, haha, it says I'll meet my prospective lover this year too. Something to look forward to?? Don't know.. says the same thing every year. Till then, will continue listening to my ultimate CNY combo song to get into the mood

Rainy days
Been raining a lot lately...kinda brings down the mood to do anything...yea..ANYTHING at all (suppose to spring clean since CNY is like ..less than a month~!! ) Well, parents thought of going to China for CNY, but plan cancelled coz of too last minute and this year will be spending CNY in Klang.
To start, proud to say I've completed one book that I bought recently. Working on the 2nd book now... still a lot of books to cover...accumulated from last year. :P Working towards resolution #4 or #3...doesn't matter...just need to complete as much books I can~!
Oh ya..bout the toll hike, well, I've decided to just give that Rm2.20. Too lazy to go all the way, calculating the time, the petrol, the bad road conditions... I've no choice after all.
Ohh Ohh...got my haircut over the weekend..nothing new, just had it trimmed :p Just only knew that my hairdresser shifted and she's been there for 5 months already...hmmm..seems like forever since my last haircut. Need to update my mom later. It's another 26 days to CNY, haven't done anything...imagine if my mom was around at home, she'll be going all naggy and excited with the coming new year...sighh...it's sooo quiet at home. Let's hope the spirits up by next week...clean clean clean...need to get CNY stuff also...will wait for dad for that.
Looks like my survivor download is done..and i shall be signing off...

and the start of the new year was the date for the toll hike. Now have to divert my route, and I'd need to wait till 730 to leave office..let's hope the jam already ease.

I live in a dangerous neighbourhood
What you think was safe once is no more safe now....Even at home~! Damn, my backyard was broken in yesterday and the people took away the steel wash basin. Well, besides that, they've been "visiting"my backyard for scrap metal and stuff... I can't really do much, since no one's home. Report to police? Not that they can do much either, it is afterall a small matter to them. But what's lacking at my neighbourhood is police patrol, or even neighbourhood watch. The neighbourhood watch is only for those who paid them to do it. Not that they go around in the afternoons when the robbers strike. They do it in broad daylight~!!!
My neighbour was robbed in front of her house about 2 weeks ago. She was coming down from her car to open the gate, then the robber came, threaten her at knife point and robbed her~! It happened at about 5-6pm...c'mon~!! daylight robbery....gosh...what neighbourhood am I living in man??? I need to move already... oh ya...and this was the second time that it happened to my neighbour.
A colleague related her story to me, she was surrounded by a group of people with parang...not knife but PARANG when she was walking from her house to her car...they robbed her there and left. happened in PJ...but doesn't mean can't happen anywhere else...
So in conclusion ..there's no such thing as safe anymore. I should be putting my migration plan a few years ahead.... sigh....

Big expenditure during December. Need to save. Don't know what other things that are going to come up...it's only the beginning of the month. Feels like so long...going to make 2 trips to Singapore this month. One for this weekend and another during Christmas. so there's 2 weekends taken up. Another one would be for new year dy....Judy said something bout a party. If she tells me more about it, might consider that.

Money spending weekend
Wow...Year-End-Sales just started..and I'm proud to announce that I've contributed to the country's economy already. Even prouder coz I didn't get SHOES~! Sihsin labeled me as the shoe-freak dy. Maybe will be able to find some when I'm down in Singapore for the weekend. Yeap, brother's ROM thingy is this coming weekend. Very fast. Not sure whether my mom will actually like the dress I bought...but then again, it's REALLY hard to satisfy her...so DON'T CARE.
I've realised I've been spending a lot of time with SC these 2 weekends. Haha, just like the good ol' days. Her birthday is coming soon....can't really think of what to get her. She got me this crystal rose thingy from HK. Her annual family trip. Wah, talking bout family trips, Jac is in China now also. Another annual family trip. CW will be going to Taiwan for his family trip....Hmm.....everyone going for family trips. And yea, should start this tradition in my family also lar. Maybe next year...I need to save money for that.

24th Birthday celebration
Thank you to all for my friends and colleagues that were there to celebrate it with me. This year is a good year. At least I know my birthday wish is coming true.
Total candles blown out for this memorable occasion: 1+1+24+24+10=60!!!! Gosh, I turn 60 this year. nevermind..i'm still happy that everyone took the effort to prepare and have those celebrations.
1) Celebrations with colleagues:
TGIF lunch. Had spaghetti, they made me do the Birthday ritual thingy. Haha...a bit embarassing, so thank God no one got it on video. It's just me singing song...out of tune~! :P
Had a birthday treat there. Videos will be uploaded to my multiply site later. After that, they bought me a secret recipe cake for tea time. Chocolate Indulgence ....yumm... they took 24 small candles and put it all around. Pics will be in my multiply site also. Too lazy to upload all here.
2) Celebration with Kura-Kuras
Steamboat at Chiang Wei's place. He's nice enough to prepare the soup base and buy the other food stuff in the market. Kesian him, went to market and kena called uncle. :P But nvm, it was one incredible effort to collect everyone and celebrate my brithday. Thank you kura-kuras~! Thanks to Thean for the gift also. Love it~! We makan till all stomach bloated and the cake was GOOD~!! Still don't know who smashed my face on it.
3) Celebration at Wong Kok

Well, there's also Chew to thank for the dinner on Monday nite. And those who sent all the birthday sms-es, emails and also calls. Especially touched when Zheng called all the way from UK. Thanks Thanks....Many Many thanks.. can check out the multiply site for the rest of the pics la.

Are you healthy?
My Singapore trip this time around was...informative. Yea, one day we were out for lunch in Toa Payoh and there's this free health screening and dental checkup organised by the NUS Medical and Dentistry students. Whoa, med students...all leng chai and leng luis... :P But all of them are in their 3rd year of studies I think.
It was gaining the interest of a crowd of senior citizens. Well, since they offer really good goodie bags, my parents, my sis-in-law and I thought...what the heck?it's free and I get free stuff. So we went to get our queue numbers. First start off with the weight and height measurements. Next was my blood pressure and then glucose level. Nothing much, besides the fact that I'm overweight...sigh... BMI was not at a healthy side. I kinda expected that. And the soon-to-be doctor also said, besides that, I'm perfectly healthy...hmm.. After that, I think I should go and get myself a full body checkup. They had to take my BP readings 3 times. First 2 times shows that it was quite high. The 3rd shows that I'm normal. Freaked me out a bit. My glucose level was normal too.
We thought of going away before the dentistry student approached my mom, telling her bout the free dental checkup. So it was another round of waiting for the checkup. After years and years of not visiting a dentist; the results: I need scaling ( whatever that means... ). The student just told me to go to a dentist and mention that. Ok...and she was also nice enough to chat a little while. So happened that she's Malaysian too. And after the lesson on how to brush your teeth, she passed me a bag of goodies. I can say..their freebies..is REALLY good~! Thinking back on my uni days, there weren't one/more company that's willing to sponsor that much of stuff~!! So it was a rewarding day...I mean, besides the freebies,it does make me stop and think bout getting that full body checkup. As they always say, prevention is better than cure...

So it was a rewarding day...I mean, besides the freebies,it does make me stop and think bout getting that full body checkup. As they always say, prevention is better than cure...

RM35 for a school bus seat???
Talking bout travelling in the festive season, I know:
1. Seats are limited or even not available for last minute ppl
2. There's gonna be LOTS and LOTS of ppl
3. JAM
So my travel experience this time:
1. Got my ticket to Singapore on Hari Raya eve. ( Lucky shot, bought it 2 days before but then it was the last seat and the ride was bumpy.) There was a couple, from the way they were talking, I guess, they might be from Indon? Don't really care, but I know they were heading to JB. What happened was they didn't check on their bus ticket when they bought it. it was written there 10:30 AM. The time then 10:30 PM. So we were all held up because these 2 ppl would not budge, especially the wife. She keeps on saying that she got night tickets, and this is the once in a year thing, with prayers and all that. At one point, I do pity her. But then again, it was her mistake for not checking the ticket issued. (LESSON TO BE LEARNT 1: Always check the details of the tickets purchased before leaving the counter~!) So, after 15 minutes of really high pitch bickering with the husband, the bus driver decided to let her sit on the step, promising her that she'll reach her destination. She actually did sit on the step for that 4-5 hours journey. So that was my way there.
2. My way back. Was on the Singapore Express to JB. In Larkin, there were these "poachers" looking for their "victims". People always say, buy from the counters to avoid conmen. Well, what I did was exactly that and I still kena tipu~! Stupid~! The fella pointed to the picture of their typical express bus. So yea, ok. You charge me RM35 and you send me back to my hometown. Fine, in my heart I was thinking, 1030am bus, brings me back to Klang, okay. Although dad suggested RM25 that goes to KL. But why the hassle? Mind as well go straight back. BUT you know what? We got a RM35 SCHOOL BUS SEAT each. DAMN~! WTF is this? You tell me straight that it's a school bus instead of showing me the picture and tell me loads of crap. SUPER WIRA express, not going to take that bus ever again~!! ( LESSON TO BE LEARNT 2: ALWAYS ask what bus, always buy earlier tickets to get better seats )
I think the most important lesson is: DON'T TRAVEL DURING FESTIVE SEASON~!
*This post was suppose to be posted earlier before I went to Penang, but got caught up with work in the middle of composing.

A short trip
Singapore~! Haven't been there for a few months...lemme think, hm...don't really remember when I last visited. The Raya hols was around, didn't have much to do so decided to come down for a break, since I got the whole week off. My gosh...my accumulated hours came up to be 47 hrs~! Can you believe that?~! Since I don't get to earn much, so mind as well I take the break. There's nothing much to do here. Pratically lazing around, XBox, then Drama serials, then playing with my nieces.
Just saw the mail from Fatt. He said "Have you thought of the New Year resolution we made last year?" and something about have you achieve it. Frankly, I'm not sure whether I made any. But to sum it up for now, it's been a good year despite some sad stories. I've met with the Kura-Kura ppl, made efforts to meet up with old friends, shopped a lot compared to last time, got a new niece ( and one more should be arriving in November), my 3rd brother getting registered in Dec( banquet next yr), got invited to 2 weddings (haha, think i blogged about that), lost my W550, finally went to Penang for work, my first SPA experience, blogging more than last time, haven't found my knight in shining armour though....the list goes on. Hmm...it'll be in my blog somewhere in December la, maybe some other stuff will happen by next month or even next week~! Anyway, back to the resolution thingy, think will make one at the end of the year.
That's all for now la...want to catch some TVB shows. Will only be back home on Sunday. Then it's work again~!

A Quick Entry
This is will be a short entry. Am back in town after a short trip to Penang. A bit sick of that place already lar...but will still make a trip up there after Raya. Let's hope it'll turn out better than expected. It's really nice to see all the hard work put into it and the results are good. I think the most satisfying part of the whole project was when we first receive the statistics...and the project is gonna end soon. =D Coming to the ending of October. Wow..there's like 2 more months and it's BYE BYE 2006. Still uncertain about the whole office-shifting thing. I might end up in KL or Shah Alam. Let's hope it's the latter. =D
Will end here la..nothing much is coming into my head now. I want to leave the office already.

Penang...again
Well well..I am back here. This time around, I'm staying in this luxurious hotel; Northam. Ask any Penangnites...they will know which hotel. hehee...lovely view. This time staying on the 24th floor. And it's been work since I've reached here on Tuesday. That Tuesday morning was really cool, it's like battle station in the meeting room. It was 8.10pm ( yea, was late coz I needed to pick everyone up) , everyone was geared up for the challenges that was to come. Well, some glitches in the morning, that needed us to patch the right things back in. Said something wrongly to the boss at the same time...I dunno what to feel anyway. Sighh...
So been driving all around Penang, and this time around, there's more people in the car. Not as stressed out as last time as the seniors are with us this time around. According to schedule, I'm suppose to be here for 2 weeks. This is my 5th day here dy. Had to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival here. Not celebration also, coz was working and came back so tired. Was working on saturday too.
Been having the hotel buffet breakfast daily...and too much of it, getting BORING~! Too much of hawker food is also boring~~~!! Today, met up with CM, ST, CK, CK, KH, Shaun, Fai for dinnner. Ate at Hai Nan Town near the ferry jetty. Food was a little expensive but it was good. After that was Tong Sui at Jalan Nagor. Not that bad. Probably coz we're too full, then din finish. Oh ya, before that met up with Cheng Mun. Frankly, I forgotten it's her bday. Always thot it's tmr....but nvm. Bought her a cup of coffee. Don't feel that bad dy. Went shopping a while with her also.
So it's another driving day tmr...need to get some time off when I get back to KL.

Pigging around
Not even sure that word exist~! But I've been sleeping a lot the past weekend. It's like a sleeping weekend..totally. Tried to finish up The Triangle..but I slept off...AGAIN~!!!! Don't really know what's going on.
So besides sleeping the only interesting thing I did over the weekend was attending Fatt's performance with Every Fallen Thursday in S.I.T. Kinda cool..feels like being back in uni. Truthfully, I think his band is kinda cool. I like the music that they play too. I'm surprised. :P Anyway, that show cost us RM10 each. It was entertaining enough. Dances and singing. It's really like those uni activities last time la. Sooo missing it.
Another thing to blog about is Fatt lost his car in SS15!! Poor thing. Lost his guitar too. I think this year is the most dramatic for him lar. He met with accident, had to claim insurance for the damage, then now his car got lost. So ppl...really, dun leave anything valuable in ur cars mann...especially laptops. Thank god he took out his new laptop and brought it with him. Last Friday left my laptop in my car, so worried from the moment I step down from the car till I got home. So the next time also I'll be bringing my laptop down la. Doesn't matter how heavy, I'll drag it along if I have to.
New week, was told to go for outstation tomorrow. So need to prepare for that. And besides that, will just sit and wait for the next thing to happen...*yawn....

Crappy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid blog...kicked me out when i was done with my post. Totally lost the whole piece that I composed since an hour ago~! KNS~!
Lazy to re-type all lar...just highlight the main things...which was the wedding last weekend. Everyone had a great time. It wasn't a grand thing. Just simple and nice. That's how I want my wedding to be also. It was suppose to be a very sweet event, with the bride and groom exchanging their vows, but the groom...need to make corrections to the previous post la...let's just say he's a better engineer than a romantic guy. :P The bride was beautiful, the car was really nice too. The photographers were good too. I prefer this wedding dinner than the previous wan lar. My colleagues were good. Eating with them was funny from the time the night started. It was fun~! Had a little too much of alcohol on that night too. Din get drunk, but a lot to give me a headache. But after that also joined the Kura-Kura-ians for a game of pool and yumcha session before I really got back about 2 plus. Slept straight after that.
Friday nite got a visit from an old friend all the way from Ampang. CY came to visit and yumcha session in Starbucks till bout 12 plus. He started la...with his stories bout his work and all. It's like you heard it all before...but he's considered lucky to be able to travel around...he's probably off to Laos already now. But he's complaning bout his work already...and I cannot take the bragging part. Maybe he din meant it with the bragging, but it sounded like it when he said it. I wonder if he knows... and I don't really know how to say it to him also. So I just let him talk la.
Ok lar..another working week already. Need to pay my loans too. Think I just got an SMS to remind me of the due date. :p Will get it done during lunch. So that's all...don't want the server to kick me out again.
