harunnnnnn

:: so today dah setahun 1 hari...heheheheh. not much of celebration yesterday. came back frm work near to 6 terus pick up the evil genius gi alam anda. we had our early dinner at cozy conner. by 7.30 dah sampai rumah.

:: the course at g*nting was $%$%&....the accomodation was extra &(**&%#.....the speakers was ^%^ except for the last one...coincidently also, the last speaker knew my father (sbb tu kena puji)...he just make a wild guess during the cert presentation that im frm kedah...and make a confirmation on his way out frm the lecture room...he knew my father not that personally though just becoz my uncle is his ex-boss. and that uncle of mine always call his servants or driver by my father's name.....HARUNNN...he even say it out on his way out (out out you goo)...ahahaha.....and the way he say it is just like how everybody wud describe it.....HARUNNNNN....dunno why....maybe dia malas nak ingat semua nama....or maybe my dad is the youngest....manjerrr gitu...hahahahha. A few weeks ago i went for his 80th birthday dinner in ttdi. will update some photos when i got hold of that think pad.



updates:

:: the other half leg is getting better...he's now in perak representing the big blue for ict week. hopefully, by end of the week dearest hunny bunch can drive long distance so that we can go back to alor setar. and hopefully my leave has been approved. it seems like everybody is applying for leave this friday.*sigh

Happy 1st Anniversary Dear

My ankle..my ankle..

Yesterday we had a futsal games in Summit. Since my co. consist of various ASEAN citizens, the main language for communication will be English. There, i noticed a big problem..since i'm so used to play soccer with my buddies i.e in bahasa..like "turun" or "masuk" to give directions to the other teammates...i have to speak in english which proves to be a challenge..add to the crisis..we had 2 ladies in each of the team that have never played before...at one stage my so called defence girl was staring incoming of the opponent while standing like a statue and biting her nails..arghhhh..i was shouting on top of my voice to get her moving..but she just didn't budge at all....Luckily, we had a chinese lad and this malay lady who can play...final score..i basically lose count how many goals we gave to the opposing side..
In the last game..i accidentally sprained my ankle..i could even heard the cracking sound when it happened..ouchhhh...not a pretty picture i may say..
I went back later limping and spray some ointment the madam bought from MLM thingy..hopefully it works...In the morning, i woke up with a swollen ankle...wtf..that darn thing didn't work at all..should asked for my money back...add to that..i can't walk at all. The pain was so excruciating...luckily the mrs willingly to escort me to anywhere i want to go..especially the washroom..heheh..now that's a 1st class treatment for an escort service..ooppss, i mean you honey.
Just now, we went to a clinic nearby and get some professional advise..and what do i get..2 packets of painkiller and a cream. Sheeshh..it's that easy to be a doctor. The doc told me to go for an x-ray in 2-3 days time if things not working out...what??..it's like he's saying " Shit happens" ..very comforting word from a doctor i'm paying seeking for a professional advise...but at least he did something right.. he gave me an MC for Monday..woohooo...no monday bluess..

Lesson learnt : No more futsal for me

Home Alone 3...

Home alone 2 was yesterday..and in movies usually the sequels are lousy..i won't be bothered to write..
My team won the FA Cup today 1-0 though beaten 1-4 by the same team for the league games. Probably they thought we gonna give in to them..too bad..This victory was better than Liverpool winning the Champions League yesterday..Not a soccer fan anyway..since my fav team is in division 2 or 3..i just lost track of them. Go QPR!! Anyway, it was a close game..and i managed to block my team mate of scoring another goal..way to go..I should get the Fair Play award then..heheh..we got Jusco voucher and a trophy..greaattt..things that my wife would be able to use in a blink.
Friday is coming and my dear will be coming home..sigh..finally..my life would be back in order..no more forgetting things..yeah..i forgot to bring my sport gear today for the futsal..so i went to OU and grab a t-shirt and short pants. Luckily it was not pink or purple..No more lousy dinner..i managed to grab a bite in Dunkin Donuts for dinner just now. It has been a long while i've got sandwich for dinner...even ordered take-away hot coffee..not very good in making coffee myself..dunno why..it will taste odd everytime i tried..so i given up the hope of making good coffee before going to bed..what do i do without you honey?

p/s: munchkin, can i buy a new Jack Purcell..i accidentally left it at the court..hehehe

Home Alone

Today is the 1st day my wife away from me for 3 long days..Miss u already honey bunny...Probably it is true, you'll only miss somebody when they are not around..she basically cooked for me for lunch today before she went off...bought some snacks..filled the fridge..coz she knew i'm lousy at cooking and shopping..and also ironing...i'm too lazy to get myself a dinner today that i bought the Toast 'Em bread at petronas..have eaten 1/2 loaf yet my stomach stil growling...need to get some rice...but how..dunno how to work with the rice cooker...maybe tomorrow i'll try out some dishes i used to do while in KYPMKL..hope it still works..SOS : To my wife..pls come back early..your husband need REAL food...i'm a lucky bum..hahahah..ok..enough of mushy stuff..back to business..
Yesterday i have finished the book i bought the other day...i was surprised to finish it off in 2 days..such a waste of money..should buy myself an Economic book..that's value for money..after 3 years of studying with the ol book..still you need it for your final exam...ooo yeah..those were the days..The Da Vinci book quite interesting and yet disturbing coz it relates to the religious belief..not for the faint hearted..but its kinda cool to decipher the meaning behind a famous art.
E.g..not sure whether it's true or not..need further research..the Mona Lisa was not female neither male..its neutral..the Last Supper..there was 12 men and 1 women..not 13 men..hehehe..feeling quite smart ehh..and so many more..but word of cautious..don't believe anything you read..
Makes me wonder, what if all the books that we thrown in the red sea could ever be recovered..most of literature were from famous Islamic scholars..Khwarizmi..Ibn Khindi..to name a few..all of the knowledge was lost forever..or plagarised ( these days we call it : copy paste). I heard most of these books also were secretly kept somewhere in UK, to prevent civilization could ever recognise the supremacy of Muslim scholars..My math teacher taught me, the Pythogoras theory was discovered by Muslim chap..not sure his name..not this Peter Gores guy for sure..
My wife called me couple of time tonight just to know what's happening in Astro..This dropout dude Mawi was on air..and she kept asking me what is he doing..OMG..Hellooooo!!...remember your husband here..her infatuation starting to get on my nerves..sheshh.. But if i do this to her, she gonna...hmm..let just say ..it's too horrific for me to write here...if i do..i have to get FINAS approval for an 18SG rating..

esp to ad: cite indon vs kedai sofa

cik ad wanted to go to sofa shop wif us today. my plan is to go after asar, pick her up at kuarters jln duta, choose2 color or do some refund then have dinner at kedai "PINGGAN BESAR"

but:

"pah, aku tak mo la pi kedai sofa tuh....aku nak tgk citer indon tuh...kalau i tak tgk rasa tak kena jer...dah la esok nak pi genting tak dpt tgk lama"

so i change the time to go to the sofa shop earlier around 4. then this msg comes in:

"i tak mo pi la pah, nanti rushing plak. u jer la pi tgk kolor i tu ek"

then i decided not to go as well becoz i need a 2nd opinion...so she replied

"pah, kite pi weekend yer....hari yg tak dak citer indon"

now at 6:30pm....MONDAY....A*TRO RIA is showing a re-run of Konsert Prelude AF3

and her msg : UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Booooooo Cik Ad Boooooooooooooooo

none

::the sofa and nasi tomato
em supposed to go to that stupid sofa sh*p in kg m*layu s*bang but that somebody who decided to come along, cancel it off becozz she dont want to miss her 6.30pm indonesia drama series...ewwww...soooo kel la u!!!

but anyway, today yours truly had her first try on cooking nasi tomato...hehehe....but this is not the normal nasi tomato u wud found in most shops. this nasi tomato comes wif ayam and udang galah yang dibakar2 (and of course salad)...hehheheheh.



:mee bandung muar
i always love mee bandung.when we eat out, especially at gerai2....i wud always order mee bandung. but i wouldnt take the mee (maybe just a lil)...just the veggie and soup. last saturday, we went muor for a wedding. upon reaching there, sms marya for a place to eat (tak terasa nak makan nasi kenduri). got it....mee bandung central. so after the wedding...and after a phone call to marya....mee bandung central rite in front of us. i had my fav mee badung while the other half had his otak - otak kempas (but their nasi goreng looks tempting...greenish yellowish colour).



em goin to genting 2morrow until friday....so no updates frm me...just the geek
p/s: dah lama tak update fotopages...maless

History 101

I was walking around in MPH today, waiting for my honey to decide which book to buy..when i stumbled upon this book, sorta the serious rendition and behind the scene book of The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. Heard lots of good reviews on this book..so i figured..what the heck..just to kill time waiting for the fickled minded maam decide what to get. I grabbed the browsing version, sat down at one corner in front of the bookshelf and started to read. To my astonishment, it is a good book to read..i mean i was reading the review of the book..it has thriller suspense, conspiracy theory and lots of true actual history facts...The writer really did his homework..such detail on French paintings and arts..things i have no interest at all..Who gives a crap about the Mona Lisa painting anyway..except if you're a curator that is. It really aroused my curiosity to read the original book, so i whipped out my wallet and here I am..already at chapter 8. In a way, this book gives me a crash course on history, things i have taken lightly during my SPM days..i mean, why do we need to learn about dead people..they're dead..plus i've got a lousy teacher anyway..i'm not very good at memorizing important names and historic dates..mental note : remember our 1st wedding anniversary end of of this month..sheesh..that was close.
Last nite, i wanted to watch Citizen Kane, a 1941 movie but due to technical reason..the audio and video does not sync..so i'm watching the actors moving his lips without a sound and suddenly there was alot of yelling. It reminds me of our typical drama swasta in TV1..horrible sound editing..really need to finish that movie..but how?

Lesson learnt today :

1- Learn history well..don't miss class

sunday

had cucuq daun kucai wif sambal cuka this morning. then after zuhur, the other half decided to had our late lunch at chillis, ou and to redeem my MPH gift vouchers. so here is what we had:


fajita nachos

caeser salad

dear, i am not a good writer as u are

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.

- Courtney Kuchta -

Pls dont ever give up on me

E3, the biggest tech expo in the US was held recently and the gaming console war have started. It's between the dark evil empire of Micro$oft and Sony. At one side we have XBox 360 and the other, Playstation 3..not counting Nintendo Revolution..
Today, i have been browsing thru the net reading through threads of gamers commenting/flaming on each other about the machines...I'm basically drooling over the specs both of the box boasts..Both have PowerPC architecture..the same processor running on Apple Macintoshes..the same chip running iSeries and pSeries server in the world..and supporting grid computing..how cool is that..and yes..i didn't do much work today due to this extensive review..

Your Birthdate: May 19

Your birth on the 19th day of the month adds a tone of independence and extra energy to your life path. But at the same time, it poses a number of obstacles to overcome before you are able to be as independent as you would like. The number 1 energy suggests more executive ability and leadership qualities than your path may have indicated. A birthday on the 19th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. However, a somewhat self-centered approach to life that may be in conflict with some of the other influences in your life. This 1 energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details, preferring instead to paint with a broad brush. You are sensitive, but your feeling stay somewhat repressed. You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations. You do not tend to follow convention or take advice very well. Consequently, you tend to learn through experience; sometimes hard experiences. The 19/1 is a loner number and you may experience feelings of being alone even if you are married. You may take on a tendency to be nervous and angry.

Couch Potato...

Mutated to a couch potato over the weekend. The hibernation was quite soothing and felt like i'm suppose to go out and live more..yeah..maybe next week...
Anyways, managed to finished 3 1/2 movies over the last 2 days...
1- Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy
2- Sahara
3- Sin City
4- Lost in Translation

I only watched the 1st CD of Sahara..that's where the 1/2 come from..other than Sahara..i would say two thumbs up..especially Sin City..dun think it will be available in here..R Rated..but it was awesome..its an all star casting..u name it..they have it..even Quentin Tarantino was invited to direct it..it's a movie with 3 director..Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller and Quentin..how cool is that..
Last weekend, an old fren came to town..Tigana..we hang out and he mentioned about a book he bought in Times Square.." Movies you should watch before you die" or something like it...have to get that book one of these days..sorta my midlife crisis..reviving back my old hobby..watching loads of movies...i used to be a movie buff during students life..but have slowly toned down in working life..now..i guess i can revive it coz i've got my streamyx and no need to fight over the remote. In one of the list is " Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" which is a masterpiece!! I watched it while i was in PPP..incidentally anyway...can't sleep so I walk down to the TV room and there it was..huge tomatoes attacking people..it was hilarious.
So now my new life ambition is to get hold of all Akira Kurosawa's movies..One of the best director ever walk on earth..besides Francis Ford Coppola..thy Godfather franchise.I have only managed to watch " Seven Samurai" in black and white..darn..i just remembered..somebody borrowed the cd and now MIA..Seven Samurai was original..subtle..and pure enjoyment..
Lost in Translation was kinda cool with lots of Japs talking nonsense..but i still couldn't understand why she won the Oscar..maybe not my taste..or probably the Godfather had a 'chat' with the Academy people...hehehe..
Ok..in a lazy mood again to write further on the movies..so over n out

Overkill

3 back to back meeting with partners and customer..driving like mad to reach KLG*C in wee morning for breakfast with partners and then rushed back to office to get my loaner machine and flaunt it with a cust in MDC..but before that, driving like crazy back to Putrajaya and met a state exco to pursue a deal..what a hectic day...now i realized that there would be no normal day in a life of salesman..no punch in punch out...no usual long lunches or breaks..one need to be on the go all the time..quoting a famous cowboy movie..Tombstone..highly recommended by me...."There's no normal life, there's just LIFE"...true true...
Tomorrow the final day of the week and i need to settle most of the stuff pending since April..Monday gonna be another slaughter afternoon if no progress made..
