merohhyan

last friday masa hantar Mr H (this is not the same Mr H from the previous entry), i was so excited. eventhough Mr H kata tak yah hantar, i still insist on going...sebab nak AMBIK FEEL!!! so there was only me and Pn L....lepas dah settle check in semua, lepak minum hot choc plak kat krispy kreme. oh...but anyway,thank god jugak i pi airport, if not i wouldnt know that our flight ticket backto kl is not the full fare ticket...so we couldnt get the biz clas privillege and most importantly baggage dapat 20kilo jerk...or is it 25kilo each....huwarghhhhh.....mana cukup!!! we came here with two big luggage each weighing around 30kilo plus....how??

anyway, while having our hot choc and super sweet donuts, Pn L called up Mr K yg went back one week earlier. coincidently, it is his first day of report duty and guess what, he got transfered to a totally diff new ministry/agency. wah!! cerah masa depan i. as for Mr H, confirm balik tpt asal sbb ada orang tuh dah siap email dia in advance lagi tanyer bila nak balik....JUSH....tersedak dak ko jumaat lepas? ihihihhi

and guess what, Pn L is also goin to be my future neighbour in DRimba. she already got a landed hse in KD tp dah rent out. so maybe after her 3 yrs contract here ended, she might be staying in drimba....hehehhehe

when is it exactly that i'mcoming back....jeng jeng jeng....rahsiaaaaaaaaaa :))))))

p/s: merohhyan nak balikkkk
p/s2: YM sucks.....spam menjadi2....asyik ramai yg nak berkenalan "Hi...You There"....bodoh punyer spam.....i'm not available via YM most of the time....tak larat nak click button ignore...report as spam...blablabla.....TQ. erk!!kalau kita reply kat spam msg tu what will happen? anybody tried?

GGs @ KLCC

the friday before coming back 'home', i had lunch with the rest of my GGs from Putrajaya at KLCC. mentang2 skang ada hiway KL-Putrajaya, lunch hr jumaat pantas jer ke sana. before meeting them, i was also in Putrajaya for some P&C matter...ahahah. kitorang tak tau tau nak guna the new hiway, in fact tak terpikir pun. so just lalu sg besi and masuk smart tunnel.for just RM2, i think it is so worth it. seriously, way much more better drpd bayar $1.60 dua kali nak pi USJ tp jammed tahap siput jugak!!

walaupun tak sempat berGG for almost 6 hrs but still enuff to make me think twice abt coming back to work. i have to be mentally prepared. dah la before that masa P&C session tu Mr H dok kata it is goin to be tough for me...not working for 1 1/2yrs then bila balik join sekufu dgn all my GGs (Alhamdullillahhh)....huwarghhhh....malas nak pikir....i redha dgn masa depan i!!!

anyway, i am so frusfrated with KLCC new fudcot. mcm tak byk choice jerk.i was looking fwd to nasi kerabu kelantan tapi takdak....so i didnt buy anything....justt powww derang nyer lasagna.

p/s: huwarghhh....back to office attire

Aug 11, 2008

sleepy.....

mcm biasa hari isnin hari busy sedunia. kelas sampai pukul 9. kalau ikut schedule next week the 2-5 lecture takdak, but we're planning for a brief discussion on our capstone project next monday. sekali tengok client nak datang bagi further briefing on certain issues pulak. which is actually good la kan....(but more issues mean more thinking!!!)

Fresh seafood anyone?



Usually monday is a slow day in the office...not many specimens coming in and i can usually finish up early...like 1pm half dayish thing. But once a month me and arlene would have to do the usual grocery shopping for the office pantry...So we have to rough it out in the cold weather to buy cookies, milk, coffee etc...yep...that's the highlight of my career here...

Anyways, after we finished our long list of foodstuff that totaled up to more than 200dollar...waiting for the cashier to come out with the balance..i looked at the nearby seafood section and saw the sign " Croc's Meat" .....i was stunned a bit by the advertisement and thinking it must be a joke....so i told arlene whether aussies sells their croc meats in the seafood section..she went blank too. So we walked to the seafood area and asked which one is the meat...the dude showed us the whitish looking meat..fresh from the farm he said. When we asked wat does it taste like..the dude said " taste like chicken"...yeah rite...very original...i've heard that a thousand time...I pulled up my phone and snapped the pic...and walked away dumbfounded...how can a crocodile's meat considered seafood..it's a carnivore isn't it...there's no carnivore in the seafood area that i know of...none that i've eaten anyway...it should be in the butcher area with the beefs and lambs...
Till then...the unsolved mystery of the out of place meat.....

Kas factory sale and the thai mascot

A trip for a lousy cushion cover...I still can't comprehend why we need lots of cushion cover. For one, I dun use pillow esp those on the couch...coz I dun sit on couches...i'm a more floor man..and spending 70 dollar for covers is ridiculous. I never thought she gonna buy covers worth RM200....its just cushion covers for crying out loud...it's not like the queen gonna visit our place..anyway after her therapy we went to the usual thai restaurant in mascot...and as usual the cook loudly says salam to us...ordered bbq chicken...glass noodle salad...awesomely hot and sweet sour vegie...this time, chose the right menu and we had a lovely lunch accompanied by anuar zain's song on their sound system. The cook smiled at me after playing the song..maybe he figured we're malaysian and I gave him a thumbs up..now that a good service...customer first !

Now have to wait for the bus with a full stomach...

Moby Dick



I never read the book..just saw a glimpse on tv many years ago..not sure whether it was a movie or a mini series...but at least I knew wat it was all abt...anyways..for the last couple of month whales have been spotted from the beach to do their thing up in hervey bay..sorta their yearly pilgrimage and have a partayyy....so for the past couple of month i've been waiting at the beach during weekends with my zoom lens to catch this magnificent creatures swimming with their groupie...and every time I dun see a thing...I can't do this everyday coz the beach is freezing cold and I looked like a pervert snapping photos of the surfers dude there...hell no!
This is the end of the migratory period and the next time we'll be seeing them again would be in oct when they finished doing their thing and coming back to the antartic...and today when I hopped into my bus to the office..I gazed thru the window overlooking the ocean..I saw water spouting up from this giant beast....I think my jaw dropped...still couldn't believe they are here in front of my beach..well I claimed to be my beach...there was 2 of them moving to the north of the city and I was really tempted to ring the bell and walked out of the bus...but I figured..wats the use if i dun have the proper gear to capture the moment...
I was kicking myself for not carrying the camera coz they are such a beautiful creatures...the crappy camera phone would only catch the window of the bus...arghhhh......now i'm very excited to go for the whale watching tour if there are any available...

Third time a charm

Yup..that's how many instructors we had for the past 8 months. Last tuesday as usual wifey forced me to go out in the freezing winter...8pm schedule for my weekly swimming class..I haven't been swimming at all for the last 4 weeks...and surely gain couple of grams...hehehe..not kg though..i'm sure of that....yeah i'm in denial... and then I saw a new girl going up and down with a whistle in the pool area..ok..that's surely not brandon...then dale walked by..stood by my side..and said the usual..how r u and stuff...he also skipped last week class and told me.. rick called him up yesterday abt brandon quitted on us

Our previous coach was maureen...quits coz it was too far for her to travel...she lives around the northern beaches...then brandon came along...with the usual replacement coach either jessica or katherine if the coach on sick leave...

So the new coach is liz..very young compared to the rest that we went thru...and rick made a remark...I wonder how long liz gonna stay with us?...And she is no pushover..quite good compared to katherine the pretty brunette...peter said she just stand in the middle of the pool and looked pretty...it was spot on...she just stand on the shallow area and give some pointers or two...and that's that...peter blamed katherine for his slow improvement...he said it tooked him 3 goddamn yrs to see some progress...

Well I hoped liz will stays with us longer..but I doubt it...maybe this class sucks...I mean really sucks..or maybe they just dun like rick..he's a bit smooth..sweet talker with a huge beer belly...but that doesn't count why brandon left...I wonder....for her to travel...she lives around the northern beaches...then brandon came along...with the usual replacement coach either jessica or katherine if the coach on sick leave.....hmmm...i think it would better to keep my distance with rick...

my wishlist...

imagine this


pic credit to sony.com.my

on this


in drimba???


one thing for sure i'm gonna buy that 20 inch tv from sony. saw the tv masa jalan2 kat the curve and immediately fall in love with it. thats the biggest they have for that model.

The 100K renovation...

back in m'sia when we were checking out our new d'rimba, there are few units yg tgh buat heavy renovation. we managed to have a look at one of the almost complete unit. the lady kindly enough let me took some photos of their work in progress. total cost of the renovation is 100k. for me,10ok is not that worth it la unless ur money mmg berkepok2 that u dunno what to do with it or maybe ur planning to stay there like forever.


this is the dining plus kitchen. supposedly ada wall partition between the kitchen and dining. tp owner buang and instead the put a sliding door. the feature wall at the dining hall is from wallpaper.

so this is the view from inside the kitchen with the sliding door. mmg cool sgt tp bila u slides open the door, ur taking the space behind the wall yg depan sinki. mean to say kat wall tu mmg tak leh buat built in cabinet and tak leh letak barang. erk...paham ker?? tp mmg smart la concept sliding door ni

the kitchen cabinet, ok gak la. i like the colour tp sbb dah ramai sgt org guna colour cenggini so i'm already thinking of something else. the owner panjangkan lagi dapur dia...so the wet kitchen outside is just enough for him to put his washing machine.


tpt sidai baju dekat wet kitchen....cool giler....kalau tgk picture sebelum ni kat wet kitchen tak nampak bende ni. u can pusing2 this thing bagi dia turun and pusing balik naik atas....wah!! i must buy this thing. but was already thinking of buying a dryer....so to buy or not to buy a dryer?

the master bedroom...just as what as i was thinking except for the colour of the cabinet. i am so planning to change the parkir flooring into laminated flooring so that it can gave a spacious impression of the room.

nyaris i nak jatuh kat sini sbb salah step...chait


the bathroom door. cantik gilerr....sekeping RM650. the original door mmg buruk nak mampus....i am soooo gonna change into this as well.


totally makeover bathroom. tiles semua dia bukak and put a new one. dia guna darker tiles tp bathroom dia nampak even bigger. the lady said the original tiles tu jenis tebal...yg ni jenis nipis...

wahhhhhhhhh...very nice. cuma satu jer la...maintenance susah sket belah atas tuh

100k for all these...i didnt take pictures of the living room sbb tak minat sgt. the built in tv cabinet dia tak lawa sgt...lawa lagi my red apple tv cabinet. anyway, even kat living room, dining and along the corridor nak ke bedroom semua dia tukar tiles baru. something bigger and more glowy. even the other two rooms pun dia buat built in bedframe and cabinet...sbb tu mahal kot.

tgk workmanship derang mmg bagus. worker dia dua org, one chinese and one singh guy. no indonesian. me and mr evil dah discuss...kalau pikir malas mmg nak amik jer derang ni nanti. but of course we're not gonna do this kind of heavy make-over. mana nak cari duit. yg penting dapur, tukar pintu bathroom and cabinets for the main room. derang ni dah berkampung kat d'rimba since end of last year....from one unit to another unit doin renovation.

from the library....

i'm blogging from the Freehills Law Library. this is actually my fav study area because everything is so brand new. anyway, got another 1 1/2 hrs before my next class. hari ni class habis 9 mlm...DISASTER. before start class tadi i went to the student office at my school to check on some administrative issues

me: hi, this i my last semester so i just wanna check whether i have already met all the course requirements
him: you're doin?
me: MCom in HR 8404 (and i gave him my student id)
him: (gi godek2 kat pc dia) yerp....u will be graduating this semester
me: tq

well, i didnt expect him to gave that kind of answer...ingatkan something like...you've taken all the subjects according to the requirements. to mr evil.....................TOO BAD!!!!!!! hahahahah

my business caps lecture went well, we got some briefing from our client. another DISASTER....my team will be doin some problem-solving issues on IP for our client. IP = Law means BORINGGG!!!! but THANK GOD i got one Business Law team members and she's good....hong kong mari!! i mmg dah mark dia jadi team leader...ahahahha. i am still praying very hard that everything will went well for my team....huwarghhhhh. this project is actually more important to them than to me coz i already got a job back home but for them, kalau dapat that commendation letter, it will be an added advantage to their resume. as for me, of course la leh top up my final grades and most importantly for my very own self-satisfaction.

The Mac Wannabe



After coming back from Msia..i decided to get a new toy...so last tuesday after coming back from the office...search the eeepc in ebay. I was looking for the 7inch model but then i just realised..7 inch is not enuff to watch my movies...so i i think i can afford the extra 2 inch for couple hundred bucks. So after searching in ebay for couple of minute most f the retailer comes from china or hong kong...its a bit dodgy and expensive delivery...so i googled it in google obviously and found the cheapest offer in www.shoppingsquare.com.au.

So i picked the white one..coz it screams " When i grow up, i wanna be a macbook!" slogan and checked out my shopping cart... Paid it the next day via Bpay...coz i lost my sim card back in msia so i cant get the TAC from the internet banking..it was pretty easy and safe. On thursday morning, i checked the status of my order...it was changed from unpaid to paid..then 1 hr later the status changed again to prep for delivery. On late thursday, the system prompt me a consignment note issued by the courier co. I checked into their online system but it returned an error...the note does not exist..oooppss...not a very good sign....but i stayed calm till friday before i push the panic button. On friday morning...went into their online tracking again..and voila...it's in sydney and on its way to my office... I usually addressed it there coz other half dun want to be disturb during her beauty sleep. Around 3pm, the courier man walked thru the door and i jumped in joy!

So...since friday night till sunday...i've been in front of the new toy..pimping it out like there's no tomorrow...I won't go into details of the innards of the piece of machinery..google it and read their professional review...way easier and better grammar than me..but i would like to say...it's good enough for me....and here's why

1. it has SSD not the spinning HD..less capacity but shock proof
2. SD card reader builtin - i hate to pull out the sd card from the camera and plug it in the external card reader...it's a waste of time and space
3. very light - the thinkpad is 1.2kg but this one is less than 1kg..it's has gone thru serious diet
4. great community - www.eeeuser.com - i've got alot of info to install ubuntu from this site.....
5. wifi enabled...i can't imagine living without a wireless router nearby...dunno why

home videos...

finally, found the videos...taken during maimunah 1st birthday gathering. rasanyer masa ni umi pi bandung



suddenly...somebody started to cry.....



iman..as usual....


me pretending not to capture anything on camera

mama mia

where can u get to watch agent 007 singing ABBA evergreen classics and wearing elvis presley tight costume??


you can see more of his singing in the earliest part of the song but too bad they only have this on youtube.

i couldnt get any youtube vids on the closing act where he's wearing the tight costume...thank god...buruk ok!! anyway, this is a movie to watch. damn freaking hillarious movie. the whole cast sang in that movie and Agent 007 sucks big time....well maybe i exaggerate. tp dlm ramai he's the worst. he's trying too hard to sing and with those facial expression....i couldnt stop laughing. i even laugh at some sad singing scene. but listening only to the ost from youtube without the visual ok lah...not bad. i think the most outstanding performance goes to Amanda Seyfried. Meryl Streep is of course best ever actress, she is so energetic despite being 59 and she sang pretty well. she is so perfect in every role she does. so mean in devil wears prada and here she's doing the singing, dancing and a SPLIT!!!. where can u get an actress like that in m'sia?? and Colin Firth from Bridget Jones Diary...WOW!!! he can really sing!!! i lurve his rendition of our last summer. and they shoot the movie at greece...such a beautiful breathtaking scenery...i just lurve the hilly route to where the wedding took place towards the of the movie.




my all time fav song Chiquitta




and the winner takes it all



i read somewhere that she didnt do any lip-sync for this song in the movie..she actually sang it right there and there


rasa mcm nak tgk lagik jerk....tp cinema tickets here are expensive...$12. i hope they will release the dvd soon enough before i'm goin back for good end of the year. i always lurve musical movies....grease, grease 2, across the universe and oh...enchanted...i really really do enjoy watching enchanted even when mr evil dok rasa mcm nak hentak2 paler dalam cinema. i watched High school musical 1 and looking fwd to their third installation. watch the trailers at the cinema mcm best jerk. 2nd one sucks.



now shud i put that one video where kakak, bunches and angel doin the HSM dance...i think i still have it somewhere....

11 more weeks.....

this is my last semester.....wohooooo......another 11 more weeks to go before the semester ends. supposedly i only have one subject this sem, business caps. but because i drop one subject last semester because the lecturer sucks big time...so jadi la dua subject this sem. takper lah...as if like i got lot of things to do pun. anyway, best thing is....both subjects are on monday. one is from 2 to 5 while the otherone is 6 to 9. infact, business cap yg 2 to 5 tu pun bukan every week ada lecture because it is 100% project so more on discussion from time to time. so for the rest of the week...i'll be most of the time at home (hopefully) unless i got discussion for my project. mr evil cakap semester ni boleh la prepare lunch tetiap hari...we'll see....

sambal udang dgn telur. sedap giler. i hope in future i'm able to maintain the quality of the taste

Nasi Lemak Ikan Ketol...

this is my fav nasi lemak anak bukit....so simple yet so delicious. just sambal ikan ketol ngan telor rebus sikit. no ikan bilis, kacang or even timun. in fact nasi dia pun takdak lah sedap mana...typical nasi lemak yg jual kat KL....but the sambal ikan ketol is to die for....always ask for extra sambal. ni sebungkus singgit.....sapa2 g kat alor setar tuh...especially yg kerje kat Anak Bukit tu....must try this nasi lemak...


Direction: after masjid intan safinaz, keep left utk masuk ke taman aman, then terus sikit, rasanyer masuk kanan kat 2nd simpang. kat simpang nak masuk kanan tuh ada india jual nasik lemak jugak. then terusss sampai ujung jalan...makcik tuh jual kat tingkap umah dia jer...

update: kalau time cuti sekolah ker cuti raya ker...pi la beli awal2...sbb cepat abis
