ad...this is for you...the long awaited sofa....in case you are wondering how yours is gonna look like (minus the red cushion). rasanyer we order a different tone of chocolate kan? but i like this one also.

Hour glass

Now i'm in frantic mode to close all my deals this quarter..man..can't live like this for the rest of my life. I'm still way behind my quotas..my boss expect everything to be in...customer is saying no go..failure is not an option..arghhh!!!
Wish i can retire today and do nothing..dun have to worry for anything at all..just like the dude with the blue Honda Accord. Every morning, i'll be bumping into him at the parking lot with a newspaper tucked in his armpit and wearing round tees and a pair of jeans..Probably just came back from a cup of teh tarik at the nearby mamak..He look really happy..no stress..no pressure..I wonder what he did to retire so early..coz he looks like 40ish..not that old..one of these days am gonna ask him...probably he's one of the robber in the Maybank heist in the 90's..it was the perfect crime of the malaysian history i think...kudos to them..wherever you are!!
Coming back to this blue honda dude...i'm telling myself to retire in 10 yrs time...I'm Done with this Sh*t..no more waking up early in the morning..no more stuck in a jam..no more complaints from customer..no more super moron business partner...etc...and the list goes on...

cobaaaann

Menggigil makcik...terus hang up dengan cik ad and call kedai sofa itew..nasib baik cikmila tuh kata mmg dia akan hantar sofa ikut our original choice of colour...fuhhh....frm my understanding rasanya warehouse tuh dah buat cuma tinggal nak hantar jer coz she said something like if i wanted the new colour (the one i choose last sunday), i have to wait a bit longer. kalau betol laaa warehouse dia dah buat apa ke jadahnyer si eric beria2 suh aku tukor kolor last sunday...eiiiiiiiiiiiiii....si eric tuh pun lg sorang what the....!!!! fuh....tak sangka beli sofa ni pun banyak dugaannyer yer. sofa murahan plak tuh...ish ish ish

daily dose of...

What to write today...lots of stuff had happen these couple of days...i've been running like a headless chicken to get things done.. Did not properly plan my daily schedule quite well which leads me to drifting away from days to weeks..not a very good planning in my part..oughta do something this week.
Last weekend, as the madam had wrote in..we went to AF concert. Yeah2..too lame..but what the heck..just give it a try...though at 1st i was quite intimidated with the other half infatuation of that dude...give it a rest!! goshhh...Its kinda fun seeing the host doing during ads...No wonder he's one of the highest paid host in Malaysia. We sat in front of a bunch of ladies with that letter signage thingy..dunno what the heck is it...suppose each of the ladies have a letter which spell out....hmmm..no idea...i did saw a K and L....so go figure it out yourself. I wonder why they didn't held it up high...though i was hoping they wouldn't do it. During the singing stuff..i kept on bugging my wife..just to get on her nerve..since she's sooo in to it...what's wrong with this lady..like i dunno her anymore..she's like a stranger...just bcoz of this frenzy. Then, the moment of truth came when that dude screw up the lyrics..i was like jumping in joy..like when Smeagol managed to snatch the ring from frodo in the volcano scene...it really made my day...hahaha..woooohoooooo...felt like laughing out loud right there and then, when all the audience was dumbfounded with the change of lyrics..but i rejected the notion after noticing most of the audience are his fans.Dun want to get beaten to a pulp.
Sunday came, and the other half was in this frantic panic mode...never saw her this panic at all. She gave a better performance compared to Jodie Foster in Panic Room. This was like Panic Kitchen, the sequel..heheehe..to cut short..my family arrived..they came, they see, they conquered...as explained to the other half blog below.That's my family hunn..dun mess around

Happy Birthday Lid

Happy 66th Birthday Lid

pancets

the other half force me to update the blog...yaperdaa...how bout u??? but anyway, a quick recap on everything....

friday
during lunch break rush toMV to collect the tickets...damn!!!! the traffic is so terrible both from desa petaling onwards and MV. is there any special sales goin on in MV?? i dunno...but the traffic is really killing me....1.30 and i'm still strugglin on the road. thank god i notice the pick up/ drop out point at office boulevard...so just park in front of the office and collect the tickets. damn again!!!, u can also pick up the tickets on saturday afternoon...eiii.....camne ler leh salah baca. i thot they are closed on saturday.

saturday
went back to sirpunk to pick up the 2 lil sista...after zuhur tayar bergolek menuju ke ikea. the other half bawak adik2 nyer jalan2 di the curve and i did some quick shopping in ikea and cold storage. had our early dinner at fasta pasta and i accidently ordered two large bowls of minestrone soup....ahahaha.....amik ko!!!! after dinner, we had our asar prayer at sista in law house and 6.15 off to stadium melawati. the other half was complainin...what if we are the first to arrive...what if this...what if that....when we arrived around 6.40 plus plus....the crowd is there already...ahhahaha. i wonder what time this ppl came??

the concert
its not bad afterall, of course u need to Q to get in there since our seats is free seating. but i manage to get the front row of level 2. ok larr...nama pun tiket murah. we just wait inside there and took turns for our maghrib prayer. near 8.30....ader rehearsal CLAPPING2....then azn*il makes some jokes...bla bla bla. aznil ada cakap...during the 1st concert...stadium tak sampai separuh pun penuh tapi applaused was better than this 2nd concert. 2nd concert ni cuma level 3 jer yg nampak kosong (ni mesti penangan mauu ee). so the moment came, the show started. its not bad afterall watching from level 2....of course u cannot see them clean and clear tapi idakla sampai mcm nampak semut jerk. plus...u get to see everything...how ell*za kick the chair yg nyaris2 nak tergolek dog jatuh bawah stage.....how during the commercial break all the audience menjerit2 mcm nak giler nama mauu ee everytime he went in and out.....u got to concentrate on mauu eee dancing steps through out the m*nuju p*ncak. and do u know that during the commercial all the students will go backstage amik fresh air kot. and masa break jugerk aznil ader le buat lawak2 sket....and of course every now and then praktis clapping lagi. and the best part is....of course u shud listen them LIVE. dengar live baru tau suara sapa yg sedap dan tak sedap. i'm goin there again...maybe for the 4th concert...and em goin to buy that arena seating. boleh tgk mauu ee dekat2. suara mauu eee....mmg paling best that nite but of course lupa lyric dah spoil everything. and i blame the evil genius for this....b4 mau ee perform...he kept saying that that guy is gonna forgot his lyrics again...eiiii...mulut masin plakkkk!!! but kesian kat mau eee.....crowd mmg giller2 jerit kat dia...almost 90% of the audience kot (sure bebudak lain jeles)....can u just imagine...towards the end of every single lines...semua menjerit mcm nak giler....mana la mamat tuh tak gabra....tp bila dia lupa lirik...semua terdiam. dah tak pasal2 kena kutuk....itu yg kesian. but still...even dia salah lirik or a bit sumbang....suara dia mmg sedap gilers...he can be the next j*mal abd*llah. suara bebudak lain bukan nyer tak sedap...sedappp...tapi dah common!!

sunday
the whole of mr evil family came to had lunch at my place (except for one sista). eishhh...penatnyerr....for the first time in my life i cook lunch for like 16 ppl....alhamdullillahhh everything went well....except for the purple cabbage. lps ni tak mo beli cabbage yg berwarna purple itewww lagik...spoil my food presentation ajerk (again i blame the evil genius for this). we had ketam masak lemak cili api, daging malbi, kobis tumis sos tiram, ayam goreng kicap manis and bubur jagung. ayam goreng kicap manis tuh paling laku.....both of us tak sempat nak makan so last nite dinner i cook some for hubby deary sbb dia teringin. but hubby deary is so sweet, he help me a lot in the kitchen. tq dear....but lps ni...if ur family datang lagi i tak mo buat nasi campur dah. pancets!!! plus the house turns upside down wif the 3 lil devils...*sigh*

monday
cuti...duduk umah buat tak tau

mauu eeee

erk...sapa yer jejaka yg tgk tv dgn i smalam dok gelak terbahak2 masa game tembak menembak tuh??!!!

but anyway, i've already book 4 tickets to their 2nd concert. ingat nak call my sista coz she can get free tickets frm KK...tapi malas ler lgpun 4 tickets is too much (ahdik yg baikkkksss). hmm...satu hal nak kena pi mid valley amik.

hmm....some of u might say....what for u go to the stadium when u can watch it at home...lg clean and clear. well, my answer....sajer nak tgk happening ker tak. and i'm goin to watch it at least twice coz the original plan is to buy the arena seats...but we decided only last nite sbb nak bawak the two lil sista jenjalan. so bye bye early birds price. harus la amik yg free seating yg murah tapi mahal.

lalalallaalla

No title

Kept on procrastinating to even blog..that's a bad habit..but since the other half have been controlling the remote for the past couple of week..i've got nothing to do but blog...yeap..i've lost the right and authority over the remote due to the AF frenzy..especially when that dude Mawi joins in...oh boy..
Today, had man to man talk with my boss today..which i tried to avoid but since nobody wants to have lunch with him..i had to do the dirty job accompanying him...it was pretty awkward since last week he was cursing like mad to me and made me very small...like smurf..heheh..anyway, the lunch went well..he gave me some advise..many of which i know i should be doing all this while..but i never wanted to admit or do..typical human being i think..
Ok..have couple of days before the quarter ends and my number looks pretty bad...but i'm gonna try and try..need to push it..as my boss favourite song, from Madagascar movie " I like to move it move it"

:: updates
got a call frm my dad...my uncle, the eldest bro is in hosp...critical. he was in icu few weeks ago for 1 whole week and i only got to know abt this 2day. this is very shocking to me becoz among my three uncles he has always been the strongest one. really hope i can go back 2morrow nite. hmmm...just yesterday i post their pictures. Ami Chak...pls get well soon.

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:
notice their similarities?? WHITE HAIR - all the four brothers and one sister (not in the pix). 1st pix: my dad in the middle with 3rd bro who likes the name HARUNNNN on his right (green tshirt) and their eldest bro on the left (grey shirt). 2nd pix: My dad wif bro no 2.

:: 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

Lonely No More - Rob Thomas

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

chocolate molten bla bla bla


and these are books that i manage to redeem frm my gift vouchers (minus the d*vinc*i code). now i have a complete set of shopah*lics series. actually the purpose of the gift voucher is for me to buy books on Home Decor. he knows that ive been browsing this kind of books whenever we lepak at the bookstore. but they are freaking expensive....with the voucher i can only manage 2 books. not worth it. so i took 1 book on home decor and 3 shopaholics series. ihihihihih...thank u again dear!!!

AF*NDI MAW*

eeeiiiii....tak puas hati nyer!!!! tak puas hati sbb my fav mawi tak dpt masuk. his voice is good man....berdengung2 lagi (the other half thot that a*tro tak nak bagi dia masuk becoz he is a qari so astro tak nak rosakkan dia...hahahaha....i can accept this). but i cant accept that the 'pramugara melampau' is in. cant u see he is trying to be v*nce no 2 wif that senget smile plus stupid dance...ergh!!!!!!!!!!!! dah tak semangat nak tgk ak*demi fantasi* (YESSS!!! i'm a big fan of AF tapi mengundi dalam diam jer..hihihi). even that kefli pun suara tak sesedap mana...hmmm.....takperlah sib baik ada si opocot and fuad. and thank god that 'pontianak harum sundal mlm version lelaki' tak dpt...ahahahhaha.....what was he thinking making his eyes like that??!!! as for the ladies......i dunno....semua sore power...sedap.....tapi 'sepesyen'...dah boring dengar suara 'sepesyen' mcm tuh. yg lelaki suara semua unik (plus ader yg out)...even the guy yg nyanyi lagu spider pun not bad. erghhhhhhhhh....afundi mawi!!!

p/s: pity that marsha....she is sweet
