My wishes...

It is now come to end of 2008, and 2009 is just outside my doorstep. And I swear this will be the last new year eve that I'll stay alone at home, without alcohols company.

What would I expect in 2009?

Friendship is always be one of the most important elements in my life. I always think that I'm not a good person, and I really happy I have friends, and trust me, I cherish these relationships very much, maybe not in a way that everyone like. People may curious why I am so crazy over Ayumi. Well her lyrics contribute a lot! There is a song of hers titled "TO BE" with part of its lyrics sound like:

Everyone passes through. I don't keep them in mind either. It can't be helped.
You've been carrying that junk as if it's important.
People saw you from a distance and thought you were strange.
Even so you laughed and said to me "this is treasure."

I was amazed when I read the translation, that is exactly what I think about my friends (even though the song for not really for friendship but I think it applied). I am the rubbish, and maybe people do not treat me as something wonderful but I'm glad to have them as my friends. Thanks guys!

I believe I have survived my career in 2008, and I'm looking forward to fulfill my skillset in 2009, learning new knowledge, new skills, that keep myself more valuable and keep surviving forever!

And also, I'm getting my car soon, most probably after CNY, and I really hope everything will be fine, as my driving really sucks! So guys, you maybe need to think twice before get on my car :P

I have never watched Ayumi's live performance, so I wish I could have a chance to join her concert, I wish all the best for her (especially health aspect, her left ear hearing has not fully recovered, yet she hurt her arm few days ago) and looking forward to watch her concert!

Last but not least, I wish there will be some encounters, no, one encounter is more than enough, so that my life would be more meaningful...

PS: I hope I can finish reading the 3rd book of Twilight saga, Eclipse tonight, it has around 100 pages left and Bella has just said yes for Edward's propose! ^^

Another Fraud...

Once a while, I might recall my short term prey and victim relationship with Venice (威尼斯公司)...

Today I received a call from Ambank, telling me that I have an outstanding credit card bill that has not being paid, immediately I told the engineer I do not have an Ambank credit card, after double checking, he give me a telephone number 03-7966 1004 to call Illegal Card Processing Centre and claimt that that is a government department to handle fraud credit card cases.

I googled the so called government department and it's definitely not exist in Malaysia. Then I walked to kah Fei and double checked with him, and Seaw Wei suggested me to called Ambank to double check first.

I called 1 300 80 8888 (for domestic) and got a customer service officer help after long long Malay song, she has confirmed this is a fraud case when she heard my scenario, however, I asked for her help to check on my account as well.

Well my friends, please be aware of this...

Tired Christmas

It was the most tiring Christmas I ever have.

Woke up at 7 something, started to "dismember" wardrobe, and moved them to my new room, but I overestimated my strength and underestimated the huge amount of my belongings, I felt like reading a never ending story.

Luckily, yesterday was a sunny but not too hot, at around 4 something, I finally accomplish the relocation mission.

It was an exhausted day...

And my arms are still in pain...

Started to worry the another relocation after two months, I'll make sure I ring everyone I know to help!

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve today...

And my plan for tomorrow, most probably will scheduled to move house, from E91B to C1-12-9. It's kind of sad to arrange in this way...

However, here I found a video, recommanded by a Twilight fan that had put this link in facebook, for those would has watched the movie, you guys sure find this n times funny!

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Sign...

I has joined Shell since 04 March 2007 as a 3rd party contracter, and it took me 1 year and 9 months to be converted to permanent, an EDS permanent.

This morning, I received a note to collect the hardcopy of offer letter, I went there with Soo beng company and we were asked to sign the offer letter on the spot.

And hence, we have a stamp on our back stating "EDS property"...

Hey!

It is the best thing at the moment, to join EDS as a permanent staff! Somemore the offer is no bad!

Kick the dim thing out of you!

VAMPs Fever!!!

It looks like to be our nature that people will always curious on mysterious, for instances, aliens, supernatural creatures...And hence they are always the best topic to be published/produced.

On 21 November 2008, a story, which origins from a romance series, has put on the big screen, and unmask people fascination on one of the most popular supernatural creature, the vampire, and bring over the vampire fever as a consequence.

Well, I myself like vampire a lot, compared to other fairy tale creature, maybe because of vampire is the most humanlike, maybe of their secrecy, maybe of their gorgious, may of their immortality, or maybe because I am tired to be an ordinary human?

Our common sense reminds us that vampires are a bloodsucker, they are always great in luring people, they are fast and strong, they will be hurt by sunlight, or perhaps by wood or silver. And they are always closely related to sex, which might be one of the way we pay (with our blood) for the "excitement" we gained together with them, and I believe this point might be at the top of the list why people want to be turned, as well as stay young and immortal.

I grabbed one of the video clips from youtube and I was amazed by the fever that Stephenie Meyer has brought, and there are few more in youtube!

DAY/GREEN released 17/12/2008!!!

Ayumi release her latest single “DAY/GREEN” today!

Well I have actually listened to both of them, and I preferred “DAY”, the MV, song, and lyric are perfect. And I grabbed its lyric and MV:

Movies & Reading weekend (II)

Most of my friends know that I love novel reading, especially online reading, thanks to Harry Potter. I love to read since my childhood, and after I read Harry Potter, the 1st episode, I, eagerly, went online and look for some book, as my hometown Jementah, has limited of book stocks, and I had read those I interested, some even a few times.

I found my first online novel from http://www.cmfu.com/ (now has changed to http://www.qidian.com/), it is titled as "魔法学徒 (The Apprentice - self translated :P)". It was a nice story, and I could hardly found any better fantasy novel.

Then I found another novel, titled "眠月魔情录 (exceed my poor vocabulary to translate this), it is a historical/war story, the hero is good in strategy, he is a well planner, on politic, as well as war strategy. I have addicted in online reading since my form 4 and insisted till today. And they are all in chinese.

The movie Twilight, has given me a strong idea that, I should get the book, in English, and start my reading in English.

I googled it, downloaded, installed Acrobat Reader, and also Kingsoft Dictionary, and I started the reading after my Sunday lunch, by the way, for those who might concern, I did have breads for breakfast but I had had a balance-nutrient lunch, with rice, vege and meat. And I couldn't stop reading until the moment I got on to my bed.

The author handled the story very well, and in detailed. I can picture out the story clearly from the lines, well it might be because I watched the movie, but people have to admit, those people in the movie does not express the emotion as written in the book, maybe the script for the movie is different, also, the story has a bit different as well, I have not yet finished it, but I know, I would continue on the others (there are 4 of them in the series).

Movies & Reading weekend (I)

Went out last Saturday, first went to Genting Klang, for my favourite Hakka Mee, where I received call from jason while I was in the Star train heading to Wangsa maju. After my breakfast, I went to Pavilion for movie, and luckily I was able to be there and catched 12PM Twilight.

I bought two tickets, one for Twilight and another for The Day The Earth Stood Still. It was 11.35 AM and I still have time to have a short walk to the shops around. And unfortunately (or fortunately?) I found a nice tee, which cost me around 80, and cost me extra for the weekend. Ahh! Why I am so lucky to be able to get one in that short time (in 10 minutes)!

Well, right after the purchase, I went into a few shops, before I step into Hall 11 for Twilight, It is a small hall. And thing seem to be wronged when the seats started to be fulfilled. My left (my seat number is 2) was a otakulike guy, sitting quietly there, my back was full with couples and girls, so do with the remaining audiences, aren't this should be a horror vampire story? Guys should love those red-blooded stuff, isn't it? However, it just give me a strong view that, this show is for 3G: girls, girlish (those might be too aged but still hold girlish thought or those with opposite sex that think in a way a girl would) and gay (no further study on this kind).

The show soon begun before my thought scared me any further.

Hmm...the story is good, with some humors in it, makes the story interesting, even without obvious climax, it do have one, at least, just everything has been made in the soft way, some might find it boring, but for me, it is quite facinating in parts of the show.

Well, The Day The Earth Stood Still is quite different. Tight scences has attracted and leaded its audience, however, the plot is not as good as Twilight. I was actually looking forward for an action movie, as Keanu Reeves had performed well in Speed series and Matrix series, however, this is a standard science fiction, which related to the human affect on the ecosystem and the earth.

Both of the shows are good to watch, but not recommended to spent for them. No offense to all the related or interested people to them, but watching downloaded version is good enough.

When would you reveal yourself?

It's raining outside, heavily, and people starts to get themselves covered with black, thick jackets. Just back from short tea time, and the recent popular topics will always car and career. Looking at the heavy rain outside, the first idea in my mind is how am I going to go back? "No need lah, earning OT while I still can!" This is how I tell everyone in smiling face, but I do not have an answer for that. Bus? I still get wet. Tumpang? Don't really like it. So? Better if I stay in office and earn OT (but I don't think I'm going to claim 10 hours for today).

Yes, I'm going to get a car soon, after CNY, as I heard it will be cheaper at the time. And for me, right after CNY I'll get one, I can't wait for it. I am a bad driver, and I always try my best not to have myself driving, which make it worse, and I started to understand: When one grows, every single decision he/she made will bring consequences.

And when I started my working life, I realised that I can't escape this. Sooner or later I will need to get a car, I need to know about car, and I need to drive. I started to get some info about car, but lazy as I do, I didn't check online on cars, or any reading materials, I learned from what I heard. And even so, I know how hard it is when you have a car.

I'm not rich, and I do not want to depends on my rich uncles/aunts, and I do not like to have my parents' support on this. Either self-esteem or whatever it called, I just do not like it. Since the first day I started working, I never take a cent from my parents (please lah, forget about ang pow), and I hope this situation will going on...

Few months ago, I started to think, what cars I like and I can afford. No doubt that, I have given up protons long time ago. Perodua? Yes, MyVi will be the first option for my current status. City? VIOS? Can I afford them? Yes I believe I can afford installment, but for the road tax and insurance? And also for a bad driver like me, where should I get money to fix those holes and scratches?

Well, I still put hope on VIOS, but it rely on the news that I expect to hear from my boss recently.

.:. PS. For everyone that has any kind of suggestion or lubang, please let me know...

「時の足音」（「时之脚步」）

Recently I am following a Japanese series titled “Oh My Girl”, it is about Yamashita Kotaro was living a peaceful life as a publisher part-timer aspiring to be a mobile phone novelist until two females suddenly appeared in his life. One is his six-year-old celebrity niece and the other is the little girl's stern manager. As he is forced to live under the same roof as the little prodigy, their differences soon manifest and disputes ensue. However, through co-habitation, Yamashita slowly comes to appreciate having a family and the warmth it brings, all the while developing a love-hate relationship with Fuji Mineko, the manager.

It is a warm story where I found this song: 時の足音(Toki no Ashioto时之脚步), from my understanding, it means Steps of Time or Traces of Time. This is a touching song that has written in order to remember a mother.

柚子Yuzu (ゆず, Yuzu)?

Have you heard about Yuzu (柚子)? Recently there is a japanese drama "Innocent Love" remind me about this band. There are only two members in the group: 岩澤厚治(Iwasawa Kouji) and 北川悠仁(Kitagawa Yuujin).

A Complete ~ All Singles ~ in my pocket!

Yes, finally, Ayumi's "A Complete ~ All Singles ~" reached Malaysia last week and I grabbed it without any doubt, and it is much much cheaper than I thought. I think I won't introduce this hits collection album again (as I did it in my previous post).

Well, let's check on the photos of the lovely album ^^

My 23rd Birthday

Sun shining brightly (actually a bit hot in the morning), we (Nicholas, Cheng Sze, Chin Dy and I) arrived at the One Utama Shopping mall one hour later than the proposed time (sorry to Soo Beng, Suet Yi, Jason and Sarah). We go straight to the our destination for my birthday celebration, Sushi Groove, it is always my first place for sushi/japanese food.

After we finished our lunch they, it was a touching and surprise moment that they have even prepared a birthday cake for me, folks, the cake was great! And Cheng Sze was amazing, when the bill came, she stood up and walk (in a running speed) and grab the bill from the waiter, it was just too fast that and when I realised, the bill was in her hand. Incredible speed! And thing running out of my plan...

We (except Soo Beng couple) went for the movie "The House Bunny" after that. It was a funny movie acted by Anna Faris (the girl from Scary Movie). It is about a twenty-seven year old Playboy Bunny, Shelly Darlington (Anna Faris), is kicked out of the Playboy mansion due to her age. Subsequently, she stumbles upon the Greek Row of a university and becomes the house mother of a sorority. However, the sorority sisters are characterised as social outcasts, something the ex-bunny plans to fix.

Even though it was a great birthday, I have did something wrong to someone...Sorry...

Lastly, thanks to Alex for the birthday card...

Wonderful weekend

What is so wonderful? Travel for 2 hours to Genting Klang for breakfast? Well no doubt that hakka mee is amazing! Or perhaps I found one short and one shirt from Giodarno and another short from Forest?

Hmmm...they might be cheerful but with only them, I won't stay happy after lining up between two buses that keep vomit hot and exhausted gas as well as keep my head exposed to the raining sky.

No there must be something else, what else did I do? Movie, yes the "Eagle Eye"...

Speaking of the movie, there is somebody I could never miss, Shia LaBeouf (pronounced as "SHY-uh luh-BUFF"), who born in June 11, 1986 and start his career as an artist since 1999 and he was involved in many popular movie, such as Charlie's Angles, Constantine, "I, Robot", Surf's Up, Transformers, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (coming soon) and many more (I bet most of us start to know this guy since Transformer: The Movie).

Well I would say this would be one of the best movie in 2008, great storyline, great performance from the actor and many many other factor has brought us a very successful story, I give it a 9.5 out of 10. There's too many good thing about the movie and I would prefer to let you guys discover yourselves in the cinema.

The trailer might not attractive enough, but I think there is no way people would say the movie bad, it should be another way round!

Happy Birthday!!!

2nd October, this is an important day for all ayumi fans all over the world, because it is her birthday.

This is her 30th birthday, also her 10th year anniversary since she released her first single "Poker Face" in 8th April 1998.

Here I wish her all the best on everything in her life and wish she will come to Malaysia for concert or any kind of performance ^^

Tokyo Boy 东京少年

This is a Japanese movie that I think that it worth me to stay at home during nice Sunday, here is the official website of the movie but sadly, it is in Japanese: link.

The story is simple, and I would say it is a little bit groomy, but undoubtly it is a good movie.

This movie was acted by a cute girl, Maki Horikita (堀北 真希), 20.

The story begins in a convenient store (便利店), where the hero (Xiu) and heroin (Minato) met, and soon they fall in love, after a few dates, Xiu noticed that Minato is actually having psychological problem of a double personality, and the another soul stay in her body is Minato's penpal, Night (this is a boy character :D). The story ends with Xiu managed to persuade Night to leave Minato.

Flashback was used frequently in the movie, the story repeated from the view of Xiu, Minato and Night. When the story comes to its last climax, where Night find out that his presence (again, Night is a boy character) brings consequences to Minato, he deicdes to leave her alone (this is where the third flashback occurs, and here we can watch the story from Night's view and this explains why Xiu want to break up with Minato and also why Night exist in the first place), the scene is very touching, his love on her but he has to leave Minato and his never-gonna-dream-come-true wish to meet Minato (real person, not in mirror) earn my tears and remind me of a song:

I'm looking up at the stained sky
so my tears don't well up and fall.
Why can't people live
as they wish
I don't want a weak heart that can't cry
or the strength not to cry.
I'll search for a shooting
star to cast my wishes on, but
dawn is coming too soon
and I won't be able to find one.

There's never a day that I have
to remember you because
I never for a moment forgot you.

Whenever I'm sad I have
a habit of saying I'm ok.
After something stopped
that day, no matter
how much I pray,
I can't see a single star.

I want to see you, I want to see you.
Your smiling face in my memory is
just too kind.

There's never a day that I have
to remember you because
I never for a moment forgot you.

I want to see you, I want to see you.
Your smiling face in my memory is
just too kind.

TVXQ - MIROTIC

Apart of 1 year and 7 months, TVXQ has back to the world of entertainment of Korea. During the apart, they have achieved well in Japan.

And now, they have back to us with their 4th Korean album entitled "MIROTIC" (from the korean word 'Miro' meaning maze and the english 'tic' to make a new word) which is scheduled to be released on September 26th, 2008 (today)!

The song “Mirotic” is created by the same team of BoA’s first English single (If you noticed, BoA has release her first English single entitled “Eat You Up”, as her first step into Hollywood) and produced by Kenny Wormald. Besides, Xiah and Max contributes on the lyrics of track no. 3 노을..바라보다 (晚霞...仰望) and track no. 12 Love in the Ice (Korean version).

This album has achieved around 300 thousand of preorder and estimated to break 1 million on the first day of its release (again, it’s today).

This album is released in two jacket: CD and CD+DVD, this is really Japanese style…

As they have returned to Korea entertainment, I expect there will be another concert next year ^^

Here I shared the link for MV of “Mirotic”, enjoy yourself: link

Drunk = Nice sleep

This is the 4th time I drink that much.

First time, on a wedding dinner in Jementah, that was my first time vomit (because of alcohol) after around 6 or 7 glasses of Carlsberg.

That made me a bit proud caused everyone keep on telling me that I was good in this as I seldom drink alcohol (including my parents :D).

Early ’08, I attended another wedding dinner, that time was much less than the first time, 3 or 4 glasses only, small matter, haha!

Then I drank again during Away Day to Club Med Cherating, that was a good experience!

And last Sunday was my 4th experience.

That was another wedding dinner (haiz…I can only drink alcohol during wedding dinner?), I was sitting together with my relatives (the groom is my cousin).

I can’t recall how many glasses I drank (should be less than 10 glasses), the glass is taller than the glass I used in the two previous wedding dinner.

That was a very nice night, fall into deep sleep in less than 2 minutes after I lying on my bed.

For one who experiencing insomnia like I do, sleeping soundly is kind of difficult for me, almost every night.

Should I take some alcohol in order to guarantee my soundly sleep every night?

First time in Sunway Piramid

Went to Sunway Piramid last weekend, and that was my first visit.

Wake up early, waste time on buses and finally reach Sunway Piramid at 10.50am.

Shop for a while, and went to the Maxis Centre to change my plan. The stupid system down, and the engineer told me to call 123 for the request status update.

When all of our friend had arrived, we went to the Panasonic event for free drink and for nice "view" (pretty show girls :P).

After that we went for Yuan for lunch, after fight for around 2 hours...we were very full. During the lunch we noticed that one of our friend was so~ healthy, he ate lots of vege, mushrooms, even put herbal into the soup (not sure that's for better taste or healthy purpose).

And next, we went to Puchong Neway to sing K...which I don't really like it...Another 3 hours gone...and back at Cyberia at 8.45.

A tired day...

Today, I called Maxis Centre to check my request status, and the customer care engineer ask me to go back to Sunway Piramid to pay Rm 50 for each line I transfered so that they can proceed to complete the request...stupid Maxis!

Annual Dinner 2008

Recalling my last year memory, it was my first time joining company dinner, and the theme was Jazz, which I spent RM300++ for the blazer and being known as "rich guy" that time. This year, the honor has passed to Richard for his RM 200 Zara shirt.

For the theme this year, I spent again, for a black tie, a white shirt, and a white belt (All together RM 123, paid by credit card, for testing). For the pant, I wore a G2000 white (consider white) pant that I bought before '08 Chinese New Year.

Woke up early in the morning, took bath, went out for a hair cut, which spent me an hour for a...an ordinary hair style.

Reached home at 2.15 pm, ironed clothes, took bath and start picked the best clothes for the dinner.

One hour later, everything is ready, and I received call from Kong Siang, okay, time to go out.

Reached Conventional Center at about 5.15 pm and Wan Zhung is already there, thanks to him, for set up my tie for me, I'm perfect (just a bit slim :$)!

Another hour passed, but none of my teammate (appcompat & scripting) arrived. And soon the door opened and everyone rushed for tables...and we got three for everyone.

However, due to their late, we have to give up one table, and sorry to Aida and her boyfriend, we couldn't make the reservation for her.

Different from last year, the dinner was held in a bright hall (we had all the lights on), and thank you, I could thus turn off my camera flash and took more pictures (144 of them).

Wow, our latecomers were pretty, handsome, grace and cute (especially for our dear Jason for his young appearance, no offense :P). A long photo session to celebrate this, MC and presenters were ignored.

The food is so so, it's a chinese food (halal of course), compared to last year, yesterday I was very worry and careful while having the dinner, the yellow, red and dark color food (curry) scared me, I was in white, and a small accident might ruin everything! Did the organizer consider this?

Short dinner, long performances and only one or two were fascinating, and the others were just wasting our time, I think everyone would prefer to cancel the performances and start the lucky draw sessions.

It was an unlucky event, none of us had our lucky number announced, this happened the first time, and this would be the last event from Shell.

After the dinner and a quick photo session, we went to have our second round, so sad that market place is no longer a good choice for us, so we went for a mamak shop. Spent another hour there before we went back.

Well, I enjoyed myself yesterday, I can see my smile on every photo I took, a happy ending for the journey of my first Shell life...

Next week I'll be part of EDS...

How I wish...

Away Day 2008 ~ Closing ~

Back to normal life again...

The smoky environment outside the office, and the gloomy atmosphere in the office, make everyone very quiet...even though there is a few scripters came in early today...

That was the last away day, before we move to EDS...

What EDS has?
No. 1: Annual dinner at KLCC (Stop expecting as this is No. 1)
No. 2: Charity trip (can it be considered a trip?)
No. 3: Treasure hunt (From Cyberjaya to Penang, let's see how many people join after the increasement of petrol price)

Well, I'm sure I enjoyed myself during the away day, maybe something happen bring down my mood but it lasts no longer than a second...

Anyway I still can enjoy myself all the time!

Who set the rule that I can only enjoy myself in Away Day?

Let's continue "away day" mood in the office ^^









Goodbye...Cherating Club Med...and pretty G.O(s)

Away Day 2008 ~ Day 3 ~

I don't want to wake up~

So bad that we need to check out at 10am...

Quickly took a bath and pack all the stuff, we went out to the Reception counter to check out. After put the luggage at Wan Zhung's car, we went for drinks and photos, while waiting for lunch.

After the lunch we departed...went back to the crowded city...

No more free drinks, every thing needs to pay...

No more natural sound, all we hear later will be noise from car, people, animals, and sometimes unplesant music...

No more girls in bikini...

Left only Work...Movie...Traffic...

I want to jump~~~

Away Day 2008 ~ Day 2 ~

Wake up early, pom pom, had our breakfast and we went for the telematch.

After grabbing some unforgetable memories, and won the prize (Shell loves Jusco voucher a lot), we went back to take bath and went for lunch.

After the another round of unlucky lucky draw, we went for boat rowing and sailing. Sadly the sailing had been fully booked, so we tried the boat rowing.

After the rowing, we thought of something nice...we digged a big hole and argued who should be in...Wan Zhung is damn nice, he volunteered to be buried. After few minutes, he became a pretty and hot mermaid, after took a few pics, we went back...

Again, swimming pool before dinner :P

We have another show for our white party, Wing (one of our fellow lunch pack suppliers) had a great performance on the stage, so funny ^^

After the show, we all went out to the field by the beach, for another lucky draw. Lucky our lucky boy Nicholas had another electrical stuff - portable DVD player to show his luck. Had a long chat with a GO, Gloria, our telematch helper, and I learned a lot of their job, quite tiring. And tried some other (alcohol) drinks, damn delicious ^^

Everyone went back to rooms after the "lucky" draw, Sarah, Seaw Wei, Kah Fei, Khai Chen, Kong Siang came to our (Soo Beng and Chin Dy were my roommate) room and stay till 2 o'clock. We chat (please let me know if you know what's the past tense for 'chat' :P), played PSP, watched football match at the night before everyone cabut. A nice and freezing sleep till morning~~~

I think I had dream bout the drinks... ~blur~

Away Day 2008 ~ Day 1 ~

Woke up a bit later than usual at 7am, after took bath, "make up", watch one episode of drama, I walked out to the roundabout at the entrance of Cyberia, where we (Nicholas and I) planned to meet Cheng Sze here at 8.15am.

She came late, at 8.40, we were fetched to South City plaza, and Wan Zhung was waiting to drive us to Cherating from there. Along the "adventure" to South City, after one month in US, I bet her car had its rest for too long, till the whole car was singing loudly.

After we met with Wan Zhung, we went to Dai Ka Lok (大家乐) to meet Chin Dy. After the breakfast, our next destination is a petrol station near Gombak, to meet another two cars (Aida and Aqmar).

Next, We depart to Cherating...

After clean ourselves at Cherating, we went to the bar for drinks, chatting there, after registered for telematch, we went to another beach for sailing and boat rowing. Unfortunately, both of them were fully applied by others, thus we went for volleyball.

After the basketball, we went to the bar (nearby the beach) for drinks. Walao eh, the girl was so~ sexy, I can't stop myself from starring at her breast...:$

After that we fight for the last train to go back...

Before we have our dinner, we use the remaining time to jump into the swimming pool...

After the dinner, we had a show, our dear Chew is damn kawai in the show!!!

After that we had ourselves some drinks (alcohols ^^) while waiting our names to be called (for the lucky draw)...well...sarah, yoon faan and chee lung's name were called but only sarah was there...haiz...what a waste! Jusco voucher is better than nothing!!!

Away Day 2008 ~ Prelude ~

Yesterday, we received our door gift for Away Day.

It is consisted of a T-shirt, a bag and a iPod shuffle.

Here are some pics for the gift:








Luckily I don't buy the Meizu during PC fair...wakaka :D

Our last Shell EPM dinner

What is the first thought when you think of EPM dinner? Food? or lucky draw?

This year, we were having our EPM dinner at Beach Hut - Palace Beach & Spa, having a BBQ dinner.

MC by a new Shell boy named Donathan (I hope I spelled it correctly), quick introduction and sppech from Andrew Wong before we started our first round (food :P).

Compared to our previous EPM dinner at IOI Resort, this time, the food was not that nice, the lamb will kill you if you don't cut it into tiny. Rojak was terrible, but cakes were quite good.

When coming to the most important part of the dinner, lucky draw, everyone was excited, and expecting. This year, obviously they had reduce their cost on the prizes, the grand prize was Wii, which worth RM 1.5 K. If not mistaken, last year we had iPod Nano, Panasonic Lumix, plasma TV and lots of great prizes. Think in the good way, they might invest the money into the Away Day or Annual Dinner lucky draw (cheating myself :P).

Well, most of AppCompat members are lucky except out pretty WL and handsome Chin Dy, Seaw Wei, Khai Chen and boss, Terence. Richard got himself a PSP, and I got a petrol voucher, I think we are considered lucky compared to the others...haha...

Expecting more in Away Day and Annual Dinner...

Also, god bless to those who get food poisoning...

Who ask you to bite oyster (sorry that if it is not by oyster) :P

Scripting team: Movie + Dinner

Accompany with the approaching of outsourcing program, there will be a series of event going on in June.

Yesterday night, scripting team has organized an event, we went to the Garden for a movie, "INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL". The movie is only so so, not much exciting part, a few funny scene, and with a expected ending, 5 of 10 should consider a high rate for it. The only thing I would never forget is, the hall is damn damn freezing.

After the movie, we have our dinner at Chilly, Mid Valley. This was the first time I visit this shop. Waiting outside the shop for around 15 minutes (I guess not enough seat for 23 of us, I thought this should have reserved...), we went to a room, sitting beside Alex and I had myself a set of Mushroom Jacks, nice chicken! Guys, if you haven't been there, you might try this.

The main course made me too full, after two scoops of desert, I gave up...

Find out one of my colleague will need to go back to office, haha, I followed his car to go back to Cyberia, no need to tumpang to sleep at Soo Beng's house.

Sadly I don't own a camera, else I should have some pics for this blog...

Book Fair 2008 in KLCC

The book fair was held from 24 May 2008 (Satur) - 1 June 2008 (Sun). I went back to my hometown at 24 May however I managed to have a visit to this last Saturday.

Before my visit, I googled it and found a blog that posted some negative comments, however,because of the blog title and other contents (a gay blog), I don't really care about his comment.

Friday night, my colleagues and I had a BBQ, with the attendance of boss (Hairan, is that hard to get boss attended before married? Kidding :P Please ignore~). Hot & fun at the night, managed to reach home safely, thanks Khai Chen.

And the next day, wake up late at 9am and reach KLCC at around 12, thanks to Rapid KL.

Meet my sis at foodcourt in convention centre, which cost my RM 11, I should have go Genki Sushi, at least I would feel it worth the price...

Match the comment in the blog, this so called international book fair did not have as much books as I thought, however at least I managed to find the book I want, it is a 史记 ? (pronounce as Shi Ji) and get another book about China history. Planned to get some novels that I read online for collection, sadly, cannot get them...

End up get only two books, less than RM50 (plan to spend more as I can claim from income tax...no luck)

Hope the coming book fest will be better~

Lucky trip

Last Saturday, I went back to Jementah to attend my cousin's wedding dinner.

It was a "lucky" trip, first trap in the traffic jam for around 2 hours, then the bus broke down near Ayer Keroh. This is my first experience enhoy the sunshine at the high way, usually I was watching people enjoying thenselves...no fun at all.

This made me getting eager to get a car, then I do not need to spend 2 hours for a ticket (in advance), and another two hours to go to Pudu...

Another from her~Tour of Secret~

Finally managed to post this up, ladies and gentlemen, here we have: AYUMI HAMASAKI - "ASIA TOUR 2007 A ~Tour of Secret~"!!!

The concert DVD consists of her concert lives and documentation on ayu and her staffs' efforts, the back stage and scene from different concerts in Hong Kong, Shang Hai, Taipei and Japan.



The concert starts with one of her most popular songs, "Evolution", but it really surprised me. It is a soft rock song and people who not used to japanese song might think it is noisy. She is sitting at the middle of a large ring when she sang this song, interpreted in a very soft way. This shocked me, it's amazing, I never thought that it could be that ballad. It's an amazing starting!



If there is a song that I love to hear it on live, this is the one, "UNITE!". ayu actually sing this song in many of her concerts, and this song is exactly nice no matter in her CD or in her lives, she always interpretes and performs it perfectly. This song will easily inspiring the atmosphere and with the dance of ayumi and her dancers, I would recommend that this song is always her best live performance!

Most of the Japanse singer would release their album by collecting their recently singles and add some new songs, ayu do the same thing. And this causes me to easily forget her other songs recorded compared to those singles. If I didn't watch this concert (DVD), I would definitely missed this song: "Until that day". Meaningful words plus great voice, I would say this is another success live performance.

Since her "ARENA TOUR 2005 A - MY STORY" concert, ayu started to bring out videos in her concerts to connect each of her performances when she changed her suits and this really works. The videos can easily bring audience to the story of the following songs and the dancers would bring out the meaning hidden in the songs.

There are quite some surprises during the tour, in Hong Kong, she celebrated her 9th annivesary with her audience. Secretly, her staff arrange a special programme in her concert, all the audience receive a message to sing her first single "Poker Face" and the scene was so~ touching...how wish I was there. Also, she sing the last part of "Who..." in Chinese!

For this concert, I can only say: great job!

It's my life?

Almost month since I joined Scripting team.

It actually consists of two teams, EP and non-EP. This is due to EP has their own process to handling their script request (actually DS has started this as well), hence there are two different process flows when raising script request.

The day I joined this team, one of my ex-boss called up a short meeting, and he told us his experience when he was in scripting team (according o him, it is a relaxing life), and I thought that I'm ready for that...

The first week I joined the team, after setting up my desk (smaller than AppCompat, I miss CBJ W2320-1L-047~), we approached Wendy on how to conduct Acceptance Testing (Until now I still wondering if this is a good idea, her smile...). And started our first testing not "long" later (11 April 2008 T.T). During the first testing I encountered SCCM Deployment issue, followed the process here, I submitted a template to report this and Xavier forward this issue to SD team.

The following day, I received an email informing to retest the application, I retested, failed. I thought it's caused by the late arrival of policy thing. Thus, another half day spent in the process of waiting, retesting, waiting and retesting...Finally, I replied to the SD team engineer and ask for his assistance. He was so surprised that the issue is not resolved, then he update again the DP and ask me to retest (without any investigation)...so another day gone. Lucky I'm reading some articles on VBScript while I was waiting...

Stupid engineer, after received reminders (got 's' here!!!), I started to question this mercedes guy's brain, so I started to work on the issue myself, within 10 minutes, I find out the root cause, the command line in the server caused the problem (I'm so~ brilliant!!!). I should've did this earlier...And the issue resolved...finally...SD team...haiz...I miss Nicholas and Kah Fei, but tied to the process thing, they can't help me, else bosses will come to them...

Two new guys (1 malay guy and 1 chinese female) joined us...then we started our scripting training (as planned on the 1st week, and become reality two weeks later). And we joined the technical forum, people discussing on scripting skills, it's fun! The only fun since I join the team...

Continue testing...Now, this is the 4th week...

Unlike AppCompat, Scripting team uses a tools called Script Informer, to inform the scripter if any script assigned to them, until now (the 4th week), our name is still not appear in the tool. Haiz, if in AppCompat...I still remember Nicholas's name was removed just after a few days he left AppCompat...How efficient~

Boss, this is not relaxing, totally boring if I didn't visiting MSDN every hour!

In the month of April, I heard a new song:
如今這般的未來 我是否曾想像過?
如今這般的未來 你是否曾想像過?

如今這般的未來 我是否曾期待過?
如今這般的未來 你是否曾期待過?

English:
Did I imagine this kind of future?
Did you imagine this kind of future?

Did I wish for this kind of future?
Did you wish for this kind of future?
->Pick from "Mirrorcle World", sing and lyric by Hamasaki Ayumi

My point exactly, she point it out, sadly...

Shining Star - Riko Narumi (成海璃子)

Have you watch/heard of a famous japanese drama "1 Litre of Tears"?

Then you might notice this girl before, Riko Narumi (成海璃子) who acted as the main actress' younger sister in the drama.

She became an actor since the age of 5 (she was born in 1992), and took a important character in the movie "Trap (圈套)" in the year of 2000.

She might not very pretty but she possesses great talent in acting which make her charming and shining.

Wish she would come out more and more nice drama/movie...Gambateh!!!

First deal with Windows 98SE

Few days ago, I recalled there was a DOS game during my promary school time, it was such a nice game to me and I've not yet conquered it. At the moment I was very eager to get the game back to '"gao dim" it.

Hence, I googled for it and downloaded it, with the emulator (emulator for DOS game), however, I failed to play, googled for solution, applied (repeated n times) and finally...I still cannot play it.

Another idea flashed in my mind, how about I setup a Windows 98 virtual machine?

At once, I googled and downloaded Windows 98 SE Chinese Edition (that was a chinese game, no need to setup the Chinese Star or NjStar to play it ^^) and the boot disc as well.

This is the first time I setup Windows 98 machine. Most of the online guides come with the instruction on how to setup using Windows 98 CD, but since I do not have the CD, I need to go for other ways.

Finally I find out the way.

FDisk -> Create Partition -> Run the WIndows Setup -> Done :D

Game...I'm jumping over to you~

Failed again, same as the emulator T.T

Suddenly, the game is not such attractive to me...

Disappointed...

First weekend back to normal shift, went out to Sg Wang to get my new shoes...

After lunch in Kim Gary, went to BTS (note: Not "Back to Seremban" but "Berjaya Times Square" :P) for a movie, Three Kingdoms...

"Three Kingdoms" is a famous story (?) about the chaos times (184-280 ? ? ?) at the end of Dinasty Han, and reunited in Dinasti Jin.

Back to the movie, it's a story about Zhao Yun, Zi Long (?) (act by Andy Lau). Zhao Yun is a general from Liu Bei, Xuan De.

The story is kind of boring, those who expect to see historical element inside, please ignore this movie, boring story, boring war, less "pretty" fighting scene...

Quite tiring sitting inside...

Totally no idea why people produce this...

Writing a play is definitely harder than writing a novel...(Plenty of nice online novel about Three Kingdoms!)

Guys, if you plan to watch it, my advice is, it don't even worth to download!

Goodbye my friends

I was officially transferred to the scripting team yesterday.

Different from my expectation, initially I thought I will still remain my seat at Wisma 4 (current seat), somehow it's exactly different, I moved to Wisma 1 2nd floor, sitting on Hashim previous seat.

Here, I am using CRT monitors which make me always do not have enough space to put my stuff, even a newspaper, might be due to I put all my machine (CPUs + monitors) on my desk.

Well I would have a new life, for 3 months...

Goodbye AppCompat, since I no longer fight with you guys in the GI-NG project, wish you all the best...Please feel free to buss me...I will always be here in case you guys need me...

If we have another chance to work together again, you will find a brand new guy, with developed skillset and knowledge.

Goodbye...

PS: I think we would always have lunch together...gua...

Heaven or Hell

I was so bored when I suddenly think of this...

Why the world seem to be so blind?

Why the world seem to be so stupid?

Why the world seem to be so discriminate?

When people consuming the good parts of the world, are they explore the other excellences?

When people notice the excellent parts of the world, are they going to appreciate them, consume them, or ignore them?

When people notice the charming part of the world, are they afraid of them, and hence try to hide them?

When people will no longer blind, stupid, discriminate...?

When people will start to explore, appreciate and not hiding the excellence.

I'm standing in front of you!!!

Yalah, I know I'm shining brightly (too excellent), you guys should not pretend you never notice!!!

Working at night, totally lose my mind :P

CM - Panasonic LUMIX FX35 (BGM: Mirrorcle World)

As posted in previous post, she will release her new single Mirrorcle World soon, and this song is the BGM of her latest CM for Panasonic LUMIX FX35.

Let's enjoy the CM:

Here's a quick update, both covers of "ayu-mi-x 6 GOLD" and "ayu-mi-x 6 SILVER" (which will hit stores 03.26.08) have been revealed.


Besides, "Mirror" was such a good track on her most recent album "GUILTY". It was however rather disappointing due to the fact that it lasted 1min 56sec only, many listeners just have not had enough of it. Now Ayu's next single "Mirrorcle World" is taking over as the full version of "Mirror"!

I am very happy when I first heard the news:

3. No more OT!!! I will miss the OT here...
4. No much friend there, luckily Soo Beng will be transfer to the same team as well ^^
5. Different team in coming Away Day...Hopefully it would still be a wonderful trip...
6. No more fly...No need to spend a lot for the trip^^...I earn RM300 for the passport dee^^ (is this consider sad?)
   

Hmm...looks on the points above...you guys know it's hard for me to leave you :P

Well, wish all the best for all of us...
