Shaken, not stirred...

Being fried by boss since morning til late evening.
Talk about when shit happens..

He talked about loyalty la,
deceit la,
betrayal la,
fuiyo, all those "canggih" words.
Listen until "kepala pusing".
Duh. It's just work.
It's not like I'm married to him.
Hopefully I just have 3 weeks left.
And I'm leaving for sure.

He said I created bad rumours about the company within our clients.
Perhaps he needs to set foot in our clients place and ask them personally.
I always project good image about our company especially when meeting customers.
It hurts to hear this from a senior whom I respect a lot.
That's one of the reason I'm leaving.

He said he knows everything about me.
Probably he reads my blog too.
It must be entertaining for him, I guess.
Ever since he started to call me Ian.
Or probably he heard it from Dr. Jong.
Well, I know a lot of about him too.
Especially when his nephew is my superbly best friend.
I just dont wanna blurt it out amongst the colleagues.
I don't want this to go too personal.
Business is business.
I respect him, he should respect me.
Because he cannot do that, that's one of the reason I'm leaving.

Who's not complaining in the company?
It's the problem of distributing the resources..
He let all his key employees left..
Without even finding one single person to replace them.
And this is another reason that I'm leaving.

Often we meet someone who means a lot to us,
only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be,
and we just have to let go.
Feeling sad, but, life goes on.
When I'm sad, beer and smoke is my best companion.

Mixed response..

Consulted my senseis and peers...

Here's their response.

Hornet: In other words, u'r question is... Should I spannar or not...

corad: ppl already got bf lar .... so no matter how hot she is , its still wrong to try and take her away from her partner .... unless she willingly leaves the relationship for u lah

WaCKy-Angel: I say u should talk to the guy like this "dude if u so scare your gf will runaway then u should lock her up at home and dont let her come out. I didnt say its good to steal ppl's gf/bf nor its not good to steal...its depend on themself...nothing is right and nothing is wrong..

outsider: just go for it...........she isn't belong to him.....she got freedom. i'm not teaching u be spannar. but just feel if the bf trusted, care and love his gf much. the girl also wont fall in love to other,right???? if u think she got chance to be ur bf, why dont give a try?? right??

spanker: ordinarily i'd say retreat if you found out she's attached. But this mofo bf has a cocky attitude. I say go for it.

famousguy: do u think u stand a chance when 1 on 1? if yes, show him who's the boss.

F1meteor: anyway, i don't think spanar other person's gf is wrong..if the couple is not meant for each other, you spanner or not they will still break up sooner or later..if the couple is tightly tied together, no matter what you do also won't be able to break them apart..as a girls' point of view, they got their own power to chose who they want.

(N)3: she not married yet mah so why worry. if you are better than her current one then will leave him and come to you lar

WinterCat: anyway... seriously.. even wihout the gals.. if a guy looking you for trouble just kick his ball since he ask for it

It goes on and on...
And finally..

azxel: My advice? Take a cold shower, DIY yourself to bed for tomorrow, you'd probably meet a much hotter babe.

Yeah. Cheers mate!

Confrontation with the enemy troops today.
Spotted some tanks columns and also howitzers cannon.
Infantry were holed up in bunkers and trenches.
Looks like it's going to be huge bloodbath within the next few days.

D-Day in the company..


Troops has been given the green light to land.

All troops are to FIRE AT WILL!

Leave no one alive!

Submitted my resignation letter today.

It's D-Day + 0 to be exact. No enemy movement detected.

Allies right flank was being attacked by sniper fire but they defended successfully.

30 more days to go.

What if...

We were to have hooves instead of fingers, how would we be able indulge in fantasies such as picking our ears/nose in the public? Maybe we should start looking at a wider perspective. Some probably would be thinking that human won't be able to live in such modern world by now, some probably would be thinking that there's no way to wank ourselves but, it's those little things that sets us apart from one another. :D

Pssst.. I'll let you on with a terrible secret..
I think roti canai is cursed since ancient times..
Based on the nature of the curse..
Our ancestors must have been using roti canai to great feats..
Perhaps tower of babel is built using roti canai(s)..
Probably you can only see the curse when you ate enough roti canai...
It's cursed in such way that it's only possible to be prepared by males only.
As a matter of fact, I've never actually seen a lady preparing roti canai before... until today.
The roti canai dude went MIA today and was replaced by a lady.
The roti canai?
Tasted like a mousepad.
Flat and stiff.
Oh ya, I forgot.
Bet you guys never even taste a mousepad before.

Licking my wound...

Repeating mistakes again and again.

Klang bak kut teh rocks! Didn't know they have dry bak kut teh. It's awesome! With squid, and some superb tasting chillies inside. I'm craving for more...
And it's darn cheap. Probably can only buy half a bowl of bak kut teh in KL with that price.

Jessie Yeo is awesome too. One multiply account is simple not enough for her daily usage. Now she's on her second account. OMG. When's the third account?

Jesslyn is awesome too, after all. The nocturnal girl. Guess the perfect gift for her would be an owl.

May!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who would have thought that you would call me at this hour of day. I thought there's no evil under the sun. But, I apologize lah, entertaining guest just now. You understand, right?

And to all the other friends who called me just now. Me = sorry. Really inconvenient to talk on the phone.

Thanks Canon Malaysia

When I took out my sister's 2 years old digi cam in April, I found out that it has turned.. belly up. Probably the CCD sensor has conked out. I didn't even bother to fix it then because it was already out of warranty.

So I chucked it aside, stashed it somewhere deep inside the my room, until, well, uh, last month when I accidentally saw it lying there idle. By then, I was still deciding whether to get a new one for my sis or just get it fixed. I thought she needs it for her trip, well, so I decide to give it a shot by sending it to Canon service centre in Peremba Square, hoping the repair cost won't cost a bomb.

Two weeks later, a guy called me up. Claiming that he's from Canon. He said it would take like 2 months to get my camera fixed, so, they are offering me a new model to act as a replacement, and I can pick it up right away. I didn't really believe that, maybe it's because I'm just a sceptical person, so I hung up and gave them another call. Took bloody 10 minutes to check the status, and yeah, I got a new one.

Uh, correction, my sis got a new one.

Some sample shots coming up.

Almost there..

Seems to be, but I'm sure it's still very far away. I hope I can get it all wrapped up before Christmas. Gosh.

Terrible days ahead. Still trying to buckle up my seatbelt.
Waiting for an MP3 Player. I hope it can fit into my pocket.

Anyway, is it true that, we don't know how to appreciate something when we have abundance of them? So does that mean, if I don't appreciate something, that implies I have too many of them?

What is sucess? Is it a destination? Is it a path? I would say, success means excess! If you don't have excess of it, that means you're not successful in it. How do we measure whether our life is successful or not? Money? Happiness? How?

My sister is off to Taiwan soon. Muakz.

Pissed off ...

Oh well, people sure would get pissed off at times. Nobody can be always happy, unless, mentally retarded.

I had a virtual brush with Jesslyn during her hiatus...

And it turned out with very very very bad indeed..

What's the difference between good friend and true friend?

When you are in a jail, a GOOD friend will be there to bail you outta jail but a TRUE friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying, "Damn, we fucked up"...

Up and downs..

Man U is going to miss out on Champions League second phase for the first time in 8 years as they.. succumbed to a miserable defeat in Stadium of Light this morning.

All the other European powerhouse are through to the next phase. Juventus, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Ajax Amsterdam, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, and some lesser knowns will have to compete again in close square style before going into the quarterfinals where they will have to progress through the play-off ties.

On the other hand, I'm trying to get in touch with a friend. A pack of cookies actually made us avoiding one another, and I think it's kinda stupid.

Restless...

Random thoughts..

Next year World Cup is all but ready.

A draw will be made on this coming Friday to determine which country will be grouped together.

The seedings were as followed:
#1 Seed: Brazil
#2 Seed: England
#3 Seed: Spain
#4 Seed: Germany
#5 Seed: Mexico
#6 Seed: France
#7 Seed: Argentina
#8 Seed: Italy

The rest are unseeded. Too bad, my poor Portugal.

To be listed inside the seedings means, these countries won't be facing each other in the group stage.

Yawn...

Give up

Being told to give up..
Guess.. it's almost the right time to give up.
Sad, but it's true.

Often we meet someone who means a lot to us, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and we just have to let go.

A new chapter in life going to unfold soon.

Argh. Failed!

Went for an informal interview today with the current support manager.
Failed miserably.
Sigh.

Time to look for another new chance somewhere.
Feeling... depressed.

Big fish

There are some fish that cannot be caught. It's not that they're faster or stronger than other fish. They're just touched by something extra. Call it luck. Call it grace.

And there I was.. still trying to catch the fish.

Sigh.

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.

Perhaps I have gained too many things lately..

Excerpt from Outpost Nine


In Japanese schools, bingo is a pretty popular game to play, especially among the younger students. Give them a blank grid, and let them fill in English words from a pre-selected list. Then read off the words in random order, and the first person to line up 4 or 5 words in a row is the winner. The winner gets stickers or extra class points or a tender loving kick to the ass, whatever strikes our fancy that day.

Whenever a student is one word away from hitting a bingo, he or she will call out "Bingo ichi!", ichi in Japanese being "one". Of course, the Japanese like to shorten as many things as humanly possible, so "Bingo ichi!" becomes "B-ichi"...if you don't already see where the problem in this lies, try saying it out loud to yourself and with a Japanese accent.

I was playing bingo in an ichinensei class. So of course, students were calling out "Sensei! B-ichi! B-ichi!" as victory drew closer. ...

On flushing the toilet


There must be a new disease being transmitted around nowadays that prevent people from flushing the toilet after using it, or, the mechanism to flush the toilet is too difficult to be used after all....

Some morning around last week, I came back from work to find that the toilet bowl is stuck by three freaking large turds, and stubborn ones too. It must've been lying around for some time as it's practically glued to the surface at the bottom of the toilet. Trickle.. cascade.. trickle.. cascade.. I just hope nothing is broken in there. However, the turd won't even budge a wee bit.

Miraculously.. it was gone in the next morning.

My new companions in the office never ever bother to flush the toilet no matter what they have done in there. Yellowish, even brownish liquid, topped off by smoke ashes, and pubic hairs lining up the side..

Come to think of it, it's rather artistic.

Field day

Hopefully by today they can confirm everything already. But, well, great things only happen when we have low expectations.

Dig dug dig dug. Couldn't sleep last night, until 4 am in the morning. Guess I fainted then, and woke up at 6 am. Hunting for food tonight. Food crawl version 1!

Final month of the year!

A long December, and there's reason to believe,
Maybe this year will be better than the last.......
