boring friday

Hari ini adalah hari yg plg tidak productive. for some reasons i have no interest to work today. Not that i didnt do anything. Of coz i did prepared something but it was not with the usual spirit. There is this one thick stupid doc that i need to study, review and update. Damn i dunno what..where and how to start! Oh and my team? Hr isnin ni ada la yg nak kena cincang dgn aku!

Power spec sudah naik 200 & 175. dulu buat spec ni few months before gi sydney. Tp jarang pakai sbb menyusahkan. But now have to wear while working if not tak puas. So ptg ni nak gi buat spec br tapi tak byk frame cantek. Rugilah tak beli kat sydney dulu. Ewww tak suka pakai spec sbb nanti tak leh melaram with my sunnies!! Now shud i start wearing contact lens? Huuu menakutkan nak tonyoh2 mata.
Test antar guna 3g...tralalalala

Monday morning

After two weeks break from jln duta, i couldnt adjust my biological clock back to the old routine. Went out at 730am (very bad!!) but managed to punch in sharp at 830am. Hasil rempitan all the way usj - jln duta. me too cant live without wp3!

Top 5 things

Wat does malaysian do when stucked in traffic?

1. nose picking - it's the all time favourite...so dun be scared with the flu..but be very afraid of a handshake..u never know where it has boldly gone before...i saw this dude behind me digging it with one finger after another..looks like he was utilising all 10 finger for 2 nostrils..arghhh bad mental picture...

2. Slowing down at any incident..either real accident or changing tyres. I think our dna are embedded with this sense of curiosity..we're just can't help ourselves..

3. Day dreaming - specifically on 'hmmm..when can i afford that black beemer in front of me' dreaming...

4. My new activity while stucked in traffic..i'd be youtubing..it's kinda fun..takes ur mind off the jam..have laugh on stupid thing ppl put on the net...and i figured it's legal..no cops will pull u over for watching youtube...while driving..

5. My favourite past time...calling an old friend..i have a special buddy i'd call during this perilous journey..He'd always figured i'm stucked somewhere...coz he knew that wat he's good for...a good chat buddy...

So in conclusion...there is no end to traffic woes..as the pic refers to..traffic in the Smart tunnel...paid RM2 so i can get stucked in a hole...not that smart am i...so most malaysians have to come up with some sort of entertainment to occupy ourselves..as the saying goes..the road is always clearer at the other side...happy commuting ppl!

Back at home

The view from the porch...blue skies...a slight gust of wind...couple of coconut trees...and the typical mat rempit rushing thru the street...it's good to be back...now i need a thick black coffee and everything would be perfect..

Early bonus...

This shud be my week...my dad called on monday..a cheque from lhdn has arrived...and nope..not the 2008 assessment tax refund..they're not that efficient... The long lost cheque i've waited for almost 2 years is there..waiting for me to be picked up and deposited. it was long and arduous process to get that cheque back..with the missing info..mistakes in the e-filing, useless tax consultant and chaotic internal process in IRB..i managed to stay cool..no yelling at the helpdesk..made friend with the assesment officer..her name is amirah..whenever i called for the refund..i'd make a point to give me plus 5% interest...hey u guys hold my money for freaking 2 yrs...i was generous enuff not to consider calculating it from 2004 period.
On tuesday, i had the sudden urge to check my commonwealth bank...and there it is..my ATO tax bonus is banked-in...woohooo....feel like hitting a jackpot without buying a scratchies..hehehehe..
Alhamdulilah for the rezeki..at least i can settle my credit card debt..
And yesterday, my new boss announced his resignation after serving the firm for more than 20 yrs..everybody in the dept was jumping in joy..he's finally leaving us alone..but the thought of his replacement ain't that rosy....
And today..as i figured...it's just too good to be true..the good fortune i've been getting..my other boss wants to re-aligned me to another major customer...a very difficult customer..they're planning to kick us out from the account..and i'm getting this account...i knew it...nothing comes easy for me..never...oh well...here we go again...slowly wearing my fire-proof suit..

money growing tree

I finally got a money tree on my workstation. I've been wanting this green looking plant since the day i started working and now it has become a reality. One colleague even have couple of those plant and swarmed the whole partition of her workstation..i'm guessing she is a prosperous person...
Last week they held some competition and the consolation prize is the tree. Grand prize is an ipod touch..and as usual i never get those lucky draw stuff..ever..
But i always look on the bright side..i'm a tree hugger now! I'm not sure though how long this tree gonna last..coz it's already starting to turn yellow..maybe i should start pouring some h20 into it.

foodies

There something abt roadside burger stall that captures the tastebud of malaysians...nothing compares to burger ramly...not even burger king..or big mac. It's the culture..maybe, but also the smell of freshly grilled beef patties. Then nothing can beat their burger special..wrapped in egg...or the double special...quarter pounder whaaat..Plus they are freaking cheap compared to their competitors..it's the best go to food for everybody, all walks of life. The usual mcd and bk joints are fast food but not easily accessible in the rural areas. But burger ramly is everywhere! My first burger ramly experience happened god knows how long ago..but it was in my weekeend pasar mlm in my hometown..and i never looked back..

A new beginning for big ol' me..

My orientation lasted 1 1/2 days...there was like 30 over new hire onboarding on thursday..they go thru all intros...basic SOPs, do's and dont's..same thing i heard 4 yrs ago..but the major difference was..they have orientation or briefing instead of.."here's your thinkpad..good luck!"...before lunch time you'll be in a meeting without knowing what it is all abt...and majority of new hire back then will quit within the next 12 month due to frustration, sense of belonging and just flabbergasted with the amount of processes to get one thing done. If one can survive 1 yr in there..and still kept the sanity in tact..you're good to go..
Plus now, we got a new thinkpad instead of used up..5yrs old laptop..one major disadvantage owning one..it just keep on going not like other brands..sorta pakai buang scheme..
Well, they gave me a T61...a 14inch widescreen chugger..It's almost twice as big as the eeepc..my back gonna curse me for this...may well serve the whole lifetime i'm here..coz it's like a tank...i think only those who have used thinkpad would appreciate the durability and built quality of the machines and forgiving its quirkyness..mainly its lame colour and screen brightness.
I thought i'm getting the xseries..the one i used before..but with deployment center have a rule to follow...male getting the t's and female gets the x's...coz it's lighter. it seems like i wont be getting rid of my asus eeepc yet.

Here come the taxmen...

For the 1st time ever..it took me less than 5 minutes to submit my e-filing for 2008...yeap that includes the time it took me to reset my password and retrieve a new password...it was a breeze..kudos to IRB for having a good system in place. But the IT guy i spoke over the phone in the morning mentioned the current set up are able to cope with 60,000 concurrent users in each session or was it each second..i forgot..but the problem usually occurs when our countrymen submitting it at the 11th hr..or end of the month...last year it was like 600,000 users trying to log in simultaneously...imagine cramming in 100 commuters in a mini bus..not even a supercomputer can cope with that kind of demand..or expectation...so dear readers stop facebooking for 10min and go here https://e.hasil.org.my/

I'm still waiting for my tax refund for 2004-2007..sigh
