Zero In Everything

Why can't you read and understand the list that I have given you? I have explained a few times and yet it doesn't go into your head.

It's 7pm and you have wasted your whole day since morning doing things that I don't need.

And you expect me to sign for your time sheet?

Productivity = Zero.

Effectiveness = Zero.

Efficiency = Zero.

Results = Zero.

Period.

I need to rethink of the way I give instructions. Guess I have to explain the instructions s.l.o.w.l.y and r.e.p.e.a.t myself over and over again. Or should I have to treat them like small kids and tell them to do step 1, 2 and 3 and so forth? Gosh. I can't imagine this at all.

Bought these from the famous pirates of all -Pirates Of The Pasar malam.

These CDs will last me for quite some time.

All are male singers. How gay!

I Dare You

At last, managed to upload this damn video. Enjoy .. . .

*****

First heard this song in American Idol, performed by the bald rocker wannabe - Chris Daughtry. Don really like him and his rocker poser look, but he sounded great with this song.

And i hv almost forgotten about the existence of this song until pandora.com played this again. Hence, i have posted it here to share this cool song with you all.

Have a nice weekend.

Going outdoor climbing at Mont Kiara tomorrow. Woo hoo!! Can't wait for the day to come!! Woo hooo~~~

*Are they worried that society is relying too much on credit card and has little money to give to them - the poor chaps?... or are they worried of emerging "competitors" due to rise of people with credit card debts?*

*i have 5 email addresses, but i don see myself own 5 houses. Damn*

*spamming, the old fashion way*

*hmm...what's my password then?*

*human would be doomed to extinction if they have only 2 fingers, don u agree?

But why didnt they invent mouse with 5 buttons to accomodate all our 5 fingers?*

Head and Shoulder (mint) and Vaseline really work wonder!!

Itchy scalp and lip is beginning to diminish after trying them out yesterday.

Thanks to nomilk and pj for recommending the above.

------

Just knew that vaseline is actually 100% petroleum jelly (a mixture of hydrocarbons). And a guy by the name of Cheesebrough realised its commercial potential after discovering this gel from the oil riggers in United States. After developing and refining the gel, this product was promoted as ointment to heal wounds and cuts. However it was later found out that this claim was baseless. The ointment only helped to seal off the wound from the air and prohibits germs and bacterias from entering the wound. Nowadays, petroleum jelly is used widely in skin related products such as cosmetics.

--------

Itchy Itchy!!!

*scratch scratch*

White snowy specks falling whenever i scratch my headscalp. Sometimes it's like snow storm if i scratch harder. Problem has been persistent since half year ago.

And lips which is as dry as a Sahara desert. And its killing me with the dryness and itchiness. Must be something that i ate that made me allergic. It's so itchy that I feel like cutting my lips off!!

*scratch scratch*

Head & shoulder doesn't work on the dandruff problem. And lip balm doesn't cure my lips. Am I the only guy who puts on lipbalm?

Help me~~~ Arghh!!!

*scratch scratch*

Blogging and Politics

http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/4/5/nation/17357132&sec=nation

It's a suprise that our beloved politician can think of such great idea - registering bloggers. Come to think of it, this brilliant idea would definitely put our country in the spotlight. Now, isn't this a great idea? If the registration of blogger is carried out, then this will be the first in the world and we can claim our victory" in the Guiness Book of Record for the category of "The First Country In The World To Register Bloggers". Plus, a good way to promote Malaysia too as we shall have a law to govern the cyber bloggers. A first of its kind in cyber-law. Perhaps this might pave way for Malaysia to be a leader in this field? How wonderful. Another world record for our beloved country.

I bet every Malaysian would be very proud of how our small country can achieve records and show our mighty prowess. World's longest satay, world's longest flag drapped at Wall of China, first Malaysian sent to space, first in everything! In the eye of the world, we are capable of achieving any feat.

I wonder what will be next in store for us? Perhaps the brainy politician should make it mandatory to register all the email addresses? Yeah, this will help in detering people from sending malicious emails once is carried out. Brilliant. Just brilliant. I would suggest them to put up a lucky draw with a grand prize of brand new Perodua MyVi for people who register. That will surely garner attraction.

Or another suggestion, they can make it compulsary to register first prior to posting any comments in the internet (such as posting comments in other blog's, website, forum, etc). And again, throw in a lucky draw. Maybe a brand new Proton Gen2 or Savvy.

Animals

Random photos on some animals.

*Ain't I cute?*

* Look at my beautiful eyes*

This cat lives behind my house in Seremban. Don't have any idea where it came from, but judging from the fur and physical look, she must have belongs to someone and definitely not a stray cat. This cat looks alike to the cat that I once had when I was a little child. Had the intention to steal this cat away, but I didn't have the heart to do it anyway. Plus, I don think I wil have the time to look after it. Oh well..

This puppy is sniffing for a place to do some shitty business in my garden.

Messy Hairdo

Jason's cute lil' bunny. I named it "Ah Goo". Has a fur coat of black and white. Just like a panda bear.

These two frogs came out of nowehere and found a place to reside at my rented house in Puchong. Comes out almost every night to play around in the garden. Seriously. No kidding. I name them Froggie and Kodok.

Cold

*shivering*

The air cond has just been serviced and now I feel like I am in a freezer!
Plus it has been raining for the past few days and this has only made the room temperature lower. This company jacket of mine and a cup of warm Milo doesn't help much.

Brr....

*rubbing my palm together*

W.H.A.T T.H.E F.U.C.K????

Got a call from the recruitment manager just now. Told me that I performed very well in the job interview at the client's office last Friday. Also told me that the client likes me, I am good, convincing, and other feel-good stuff. Good good news to me. Something to boost my already-low-self-confident. LOL

While he said that, I was busy preparing my thank-you speech in my brain as I know I should be able to get the job. After all, I did feel that I performed quite well throughout the interview, unlike previous fews. There were 2 japanese guys interviewing me, and they are a piece of cake as my english level are much superior than theirs. LOL. Basically, I can answer and elaborate much and i feel pretty comfortable throughout the process. Overall, I was satisfied with my performance that day. Ok, give me my job now.

But heck NO~~~

W.H.A.T T.H.E F.U.C.K????

I was informed that I am more suitable for a design job. More of the office type of job. And the job that I am interviewing for requires on-site and physical work and they don't think I am suitable for this.

W.H.A.T T.H.E F.U.C.K????

I already anticipated that there will be lots of physical work plus long hours of work when I applied. If I know I can't do it, I wouldnt have applied, right? I wouldn't waste my precious time and your bloody time if I am not interested. Don't you numskull-dumbwitted-peasize-brain-homosapiens know this? Duh~~~

Ironically, I was told that I will be put in a "reserve" team, aka back-up/Plan-B by the client. They will look for more people for other positions 3 months later, and they shall put me in their record. They shall contact me when the time comes.

W.H.A.T T.H.E F.U.C.K????

A consolation prize for me (yeah, at least I got one instead of empty handed, after all my effort). But deep inside my heart, i was cursing all the way.

W.H.A.T T.H.E F.U.C.K????

Bizarre Dreams

Haven't been getting good sleep lately. Weird dreams kept on appearing for the past few weeks. Now, I am someone who doesn't dream much and even if I dreamt, I normally don't remember them. Or if I do recall these dreams, I will just brush them aside as I am not someone who cares about my brain activitity at night. But the event that happened these few weeks are just too bizarre for me to take it lightly.

One of the dreams was this. Dreamt of one of my friend (who is still alive in real life) and in the dream, I treated him just like how normal friend do (chatting, meeting up for drinks, etc). But the weird part (or the scary part) was that I found out from his mother that my fren here was already dead much earlier in the dream, which means, I have been communicating with the ghost of him in the dream all the time until the news reached me. Creepy eh? Woke up straight away upon knowing the creepy news.

Another dream was about one of my friend who I haven't been keeping touch with him ever since I completed my secondary school, until I heard about his death a few months back. Somehow, he appeared in my dream. Couldn't recall what we did in the dream though, but I think this is pretty weird for me to handle. I think we did spoke to each other in my dream, but I just could not recall what was that all about.


And yesterday's dream was the weirdest of all. Saw an aeroplane (I think it is a Boeing type of plane) taking off vertically, just like a space shuttle. Plane can never take off in such way, as their engine power is not strong enough to push them up vertically. But guess in dreams, anything can happen. Anyway, this plane was ascending right in front of me, and the image of this plane was very big so i presume it should be very near to me. Then, all of a sudden, the plane crashed to the ground. Funny thing was that there was no explosion from the crash unlike in the hollywood movies where big explosions and dramatic special effects will come into picture. For this plane crash, there was no smoke, no fire, but only debris flying everywhere after the plane hit the ground. Metal parts of the plane started to fall around me. And i ran to take cover. Of all the places, I chose to take shelter in a place that no one would ever think of - a moonsoon drain! Don't ask me why. It just happened! It was a dry drain, and no water in sight. I jumped into the drain and squatted there hoping that none of the plane parts will hit me.

And guess wat. In this monsoon drain, there were also other people as well. But they were not there to hide from the falling parts of the plane crash. Instead, they seems perfectly natural and no signs of panic or scared look on their face. They were jsut behaving - normally. Some of them were wandering around. But there was one thing which captured my attention. There were waiters there, right at this place. About 4 or 5 of them. What the hell are waiters doing in a drain? I saw that they were holding some dishes and were about to serve customers. Weird. Just plain weird. Anyway, i woke up right after that.

And a few more other dreams that I will not mention here as they are not significant enough to be classified as "weird".

I just wonder what do these dreams are trying to tell me. Are they hinting something to me? Are these bad omen signalling bad luck will befall me?

Or otherwise?

I just hope that these dreams will stop recurring and disturb my peaceful sleep. I wouldn't mind to have these dreams if the people in the dream will tell me what is 4D number or lottery which will come out so that I can strike it rich!!

Optimism

"If you have been rejected many times in your life, then one more rejection isn't going to make much difference. If you're rejected, don't automatically assume it's your fault. The other person may have several reasons for not doing what you're asking her to do: none of it may have anything to do with you. Perhaps the person is busy or not feeling well or genuinely not interested in spending time with you. Rejections are part of everyday life. Don't let them bother you. Keep reaching out to others. Keep reaching out to others. When you begin to recieve positive responses, then you are on the right track. It's all a matter of numbers. Count the positive responses and forget about the rejections."

Now that's positive thinking!

Nobility

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men.

True nobility is being superior to your former self.

Duh~~

The following conversation took place in msn on a Saturday afternoon, approximately 3.30pm.

--------

Conversation #1

Fren1 : Hi
Me : Hi there
Fren1 : Where are you?
Me : Office
Fren1 : U working?
Me : Try to guess? (Irritated with the stupid question)
Fren1 : Back to office to surf net?
Me : *shrugs*

Duh.. Of coz i am working, you piece of shit! You think I would waste the beautiful Saturday just to go office to surf net?


Conversation #2

Fren2 : Hi
Me : Hello
Fren2 : Where are you?
Me : Working
Fren2 : You still at office?
Me : Yes (Another stupid question again)
Fren2 : Why still at office?
Me : Me working till 5pm today (Irritated and getting restless)
Fren2 : Saturday no half day?
Me : I work from from 8am to 5pm EVERY SATURDAY (This bloody idiot knows I work till 5pm every saturday and yet he is asking this stupid question)
Fren2 : IC. Come back XXX (ex-company) work la
Me : %%#@!aS@@!PQ

Duh.. If i intend to stay in the company, I wouldn't have left it in the first place, don't you understand this fucking easy common sense?

--------

Moral of the story:

Please don't ask me stupid questions ever again! Especially when I am working on Saturday. My emotion runs haywire when I have to be in the office pathetically while others go out or stay at home happily.

Apocalypto

Watched this awesome movie recently.This movie was directed by the acclaimed actor/director Mel Gibson. Set during the Mayan civilization, this story revolves around a native tribe who lives peacefully in the jungle. Then one day, their village was pillaged and kidnapped by a tribe from another region. A group of people was captured and brought to the tribe's village. Reason of the capture was unbeknown to them, but they only found out the answer when they were held at the temple altar in the village. They were to be made sacrificed to the Sun and to fulfill the Sun God's hunger so that the drought and famine which befall the brutal tribe's village will stop.

Halfway through the sacrifice, an eclipse happened (what a coincident) and the prisoners were set free as the eclipse was believed to be a good omen that the drought will end soon. Thinking that they have achieved freedom, this poor group of people rejoiced but only to find out that this joy was shortlived. They were made to be played around by the brutal armies. In order to achieve freedom, they had to pass through obstacles (shooting arrows, javelins, etc). Last obstacle was to get past a warrior who also happened to be the army leader's only son. None but one survived through. This man managed to barely escape only after he killed the warrior.

Revenge sets in, and the army, led by the warrior's father chased after the poor chap. And the journey took us back into the jungle where cat-and-mouse game was being played. One by one was taken down by the strong-willed man who needed to survive to see his wife and son (who were hiding in a safe place when the pillage happened earlier). And the ending was predictable enough - man emerged victorious and reunited with family.

What is interesting about this movie are the brutality and the violence shown. The raw violent in an ancient way. Man killing each other the primitive way - Club blown to the head and blood gushing out from the skull. Man, this is just awesome!!

Totally recommend this movie. But not for the faint hearted though.

By the way, here are some snapshots on the main actor (The man who survived the ordeal). Does the face rings any bell in your head?

Perhaps the world's greatest footballer is sneaking behind our back and trying out his luck in the silver screen?

Time For A Change - DiGi

Starting next year, we can retain our mobile number if we want to change the network operator. This good news was reported by The Star. We don't have to go thru the hassle to inform everyone of the new phone number when we change operators, unlike now. And it's about time too!

Allelujah~~

All hail and praise to our government for doing the right thing for the FIRST time.

Finally, i can try out other network (I am thinking of switching to DiGi) as I feel that Maxis's phone charges are rather high; no doubt that the service is good, but for a kiamsiap person like me, every cent counts.

Before this become reality, I hope that this new implementation will go on smoothly and according to schedule as the government plans are always delay or never executed at all. And I also hope that there will not be any charges imposed to the consumer by the bloodsucking operators or middleman appointed to roll out this service.

Sinking Deeper And Deeper

Latest news.

I shall no longer be with the Labuan project team. My previuos project manager wants me back in his team.

GOD!! No~~~~~

Alas, my capability and strength has been overlooked again, and I shall be back to the old team and left rotting with nobody cares.

Need to get out of this F.A.S.T!!!

On the brighter side, at least i know that I will not be posted to Labuan anytime now.

Yahooo~~~~

Cassette Tapes...

Went rummaging through some of the old boxes that my mother kept behind the house and guess what I found??

Cassette tapes!!!!

Those music tapes which were celebrated all over the world before the mass production of CD sent them into the brink of extinction. Don't think people nowadays will listen to these tapes anymore as digital format are easily available everywhere. Can just download any songs from the internet.

Found 2 boxes of these tapes. Some of these tapes dated back to mid 80's to late 90's. Some of the singers are as follow:-

1. New Kids On The Block

2. Jackie Cheung



3. Wu Chi Sien (Malaysian singer who later rooted in Hong Kong)


4. Alan Tam
5. Lui Fong
6. Norman Cheung Lap Kei
7. Sandy Lam
8. Billy Joel
9. Lionel Richie
10. Aaron Kwok (with the mushroom hairstyle)
11. Vanilla Ice


and the list goes on..


Majority of these tapes belongs to my sister. I only bought a few, totalling less than 20. It cost about RM 11.90 each (tat was in 1995) and jumped to RM 14.90 (4 or 5 years later, after the economy crisis).

These are some of the albums which I bought. And boy was I glad to see them again!! I have almost forgotten that I have these beautiful albums in my collections.



Top left to right - Ella, Radiohead, Silverchair, Guns & Roses (pirated version)
Bottom left to right - Beyond, Nirvana, Third Eye Blind, Radiohead

One of my favourite band - Radiohead. And you guys should check out these 2 album of theirs. The errie vocal of Thom Yorke plus the electronica mix with distorted guitar and bass sound plus cleverly improvised drum beats is just fabulous! They deserved the Grammy that they won last few years







There are also other cassettes in my collection, but it wont be possible to elaborate them here.

For now, I have picked out about 13 of these cassettes and stored them in my car. Can listen to them again in my trusty old Kelisa's (not so) hi-fi audio system.
Yahooooooo~~~~~

Am I the only one in this world who still listens to cassette player? LOL

Gong Xi Gong Xi~~~~

I planned to write this earlier, but no thanks to the tortoise-like connection speed of a dial-up connection back home in Seremban, I had to postpone this till i have access to a broadband connection.

*Tit tit tit tiitt* (Sounds of a modem during connection)

Yeah, those annoying tit-tit sound can really bring you nightmare. And the super slow speed is just as torturing as being in an Abu Ghraib prison.

Anyway, hope it is still not too late to wish you guys



Gong Xi Fa Cai and Happie New Year~~~~




This year's celebration was just like every other year. Makan makan, visit visit, gamble gamble, minum minum, lou sang.

Only get to spend 5 days in hometown as I have to start work on the 5th day of CNY. Not like last year where I get to spend one whole week plus. Sigh. No bonus this year some more. Heard that my ex-company got one month bonus. *Sob sob*

Just pray and hope that this year will be a better year than last year. *fingers crossed*

Here are some of the photos taken during the celebration.



*Reunion dinner at auntie's house*




*Family - mother side*


*Lou Sang - The messy way*


*Old school mates*
