====================================

The Adventure

white-water rafting

this is the best activity we had during the trip...the 1st (2nd day) and the best. i personally like the boom-boom part....boom-boom is where u must held tight to the rope becoz we will hit the river stone and it will go bouncy bouncy...and i mean big bouncy. sometimes kena lalu small waterfalls...and splash attack at the other boat. just imagine the shouting and the fun we had. dalam tv nampak mcm dangerous jer. i can do this over and over again but i cannot tahan the 'batu-caves-look-alike-stairs' tht we have to climb up and down to the river..penat seh!!!

Dolphin tour

kukeciwa...i am really looking forward to this adventure. dah la kena bangun awal to start the early journey. kol 6 pagi dah kena standby kat boat yg ala2 kayak tuh. dear dolphin, kenapa ko tak muncul. do u know how i'm scared of the sea. dah ler kena naik boat ala2 kayak sampai ke tengah laut...tp u didnt turn up. ku keciwa!!!! sekian

Scuba-Diving and Jet ski

this is a last minute decision by us. supposedly, snorkelling for him and glass bottom boat for me (read: me so scared of the sea so naik boat jer ler). bila sampai jer kat tpt activity tuh and setelah dibatu api oleh staff kat situ...we decided to do scuba diving. yeah!! me = scuba diving...giler!! pak hendri try dpt kan best package for us...so staff kat situ bagi scuba diving, jet ski and para sailing. tp me dont want para sailing takut tangan tak kuat. jet ski was fun...ala ala naik motor...vroom vroommmmm....bouncy bouncy jugak bila kena lawan ngan ombak laut. scuba diving plak ok la...ihihih...this is my 2nd attempt for scuba diving. the 1st one is during my training bomba which is just dalam pool (read: air takder perasa)..mmg seronok dpt jalan2 dlm pool tuh. but this time around kat taman laut tuh...seriously i cannot tahan the salty sea water. so i was down there for just like 15 minutes or less. itupun dah setelah beberapa kali dipujuk oleh divemaster yg macho itu...hahahaha. dengan pressure kat telinga dah makin kuat and air masin..fuhh...so vcd scuba diving yg derang buat pelakon utamanyer ialah mr evil. giler posing tepi coral!!! me pelakon pembantu jerk...bluerkkk!! anyway, i'm proud of myself...i am always scared of the sea so the less-than-15-minutes adveture down there is really a lifetime experience.

overall, as mention above the best activity is white water rafting, 2nd jet ski...3 rd scuba dive and lastly dolphin tour (if only u turn up mr dolphin kalau tak sure dah number 2)

The Monkeys @ Uluwatu

ader org tuh dpt kawan baru kat sana. ahdik monkey tuh tak mo bangun2 dr mr evil. one of the monkey manage to climb over me while i was busy snapping mr evil precious moments wif his new frens. but since i got shock and shouted...monkey tuh pun terperanjat and cabut. tu la sapa suh terjah!!!

shoot....pak hendri manage to capture this!! i was busy posing for the camera and suddenly bapak monkey lalu tepi...sapa tak takut!!!

The Food
we are lucky becoz we have pak hendri....though he is not a muslim but he would bring us to try out varieties of halal foods. setengah org cakap susah makan kat bali asyik2 nasi padang. but for us its not a prob. anyway, this is my fav, sate kambing makan ngan nasi impit and sup tulang. kuah satay kambing tu sangat sedap!!

tauhu at tahu cafe. the owner is very creative...dia jual tauhu jer...mcm2 style cooking. tak sangka plak boleh kenyang makan tauhu.

seafood at jimbaran. mmg best...berderetkedai seafood ala2 kat bagan lalang. tp rules kat situ...semua kedai kena grill..tak leh masak sweet sour ker kukus ker except for sotong boleh jugak kalau nak goreng tepung. kata pak hendri derang buat rules gitu utk bg business utk gerai2 semua...yerlah kalau kena masak berkuah...mesti ader kedai yg masak kurang sedap so no business plak nanti. anyway, ader org tuh ader hati lagi nak order lobster...hahhaha...sib baik tak order. giler kenyang!!! dengan air kelapa dia yg besor nak mampus tuh lagik!

lunch after scuba diving, lapar tak ingat. we had our lunch at restorang minang. kat situ derang akan serve semua lauk pauk yg derang jual...tp kita bayar ikut apa yg kiter makan sajer. let say ader 3 ketol ayam pop...kiter makan 2 ketol...maka 2 ketol la dia charge. sayur mcm pucuk ubi dia bagi free. pak hendri kata this is the first time he saw me eating a lot!! hahahah....i had two pieces of ayam pop (ayam kpg goreng), sambal tumis bilis petai, one big paru goreng and sayur pucuk ubi. mr evil lak 2 pieces of ayam pop, 1 piece of ayam bakar etc etc!

introducing empek-empek...makanan palembang. my mum selalu gak buat empek2 but this one is a diff one. this is called empek2 lenggang (lenggang ngan telur). pak hendri kata empek2 ader macam2 jenis and this is one of it. makan ngan mee yg ala2 maggie...kuah nyer plak sweet sour pedas2.

overall, my most fav is sate kambing and next is empek2 lenggang. pehtu layan minum fruit tea. more pixs will be uploaded at cheeky bites

The Relaxation

Our 1st spa is at lovina (kat tpt dolphin tak muncul tuh). and masa last day, pak hendri bawak gi spa kat baliwis plak...ni lagi lama 3 jam. siap dpt facial free lagi tp not my type la sbb dia guna cream based product so agak oily plak muka.

b4 goin to the airport, pak hendri bawak lepak kat ritz carlton. both pak hendri and mr evil siap terlelap lagi!! nak overnight kat situ mahal giler so a few hours nap pun ok ler. byk japanese yg dok situ. lepak kat sini rasa mcm rich and fames plak...bluerkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. thanks pak hendri!!

The Departure
Pergi satu beg yach...balik 3 beg, 1 beg pack, 1 plestik beg and 1 kotak. sekian, terima kasih.
p/s: nasi goreng ngan satay ayam air asia sedap gak erk

overall, we had so much fun. pak hendri was great. he is not the ordinary tourist guide but a friend. with the extra activities he gave us...some of the meals that we supposed to pay but he insisted on paying. oh did i mention that we have to go to kintamani twice becoz our 1st trip tak nampak view becoz of the fog. and the journey to-and-fro took us 4 hours. kalau tourist guide lain musti dia buat tak kisah. but not pak hendri...dia rasa sooo bersalah. we're so lucky that we got him. he used to be fulltime tourist guide but not anymore sbb dah ader business sendrik. cuma kalau ader member mintak tolong and he is free, baru dia took the offer. thank you pak hendri and kareng*ang.

ops...lupa citer pasal The Shopping...harus la buat spesel entry kan...ha ha ha...chow

go orange go

Your Aura is Orange

Your Personality: A total daredevil, you'll try any thrill. You're easily bored and you prefer to be on the go. You in Love: You see love as an adventure, and you find most men dull. You need a man who challenges you! Your Career: Your ideal job is flexible, fun, and maybe a little dangerous. You have the makings of a private investigator or extreme athlete.

What Color Is Your Aura?

A round shaped ball

I guess most football fanatics will be talking about the most sought after cup in the world..the World Cup 2006- Germany..I'm not a footballer per se..coz i'm kaki bangku..so i won't pretend to luv the game..to give full review on each games...coz i'm pretty bad at it...But it does not mean i hate the game...coz for me..the meaning of football or as the US would call it as soccer since for them the NFL is thy football..who they hell they think they are...their so called football only played there..but they claimed to be the best game in history...hah..full of BS...

Anyway...coming back to the meaning of football to me is the drama behind the game...its full of dramatic event...full of hardship...sorrow..happiness just like watching The OC...guilty pleasure..hehehhe..and also a quick formula to make friends..My schoolmate told me this secret..There's 2 way to make new friends...1. Smoke...2. Play football....it's an easy tactic but it works...its a tried and proven method...it unites humanity..regardless of race..religion and beliefs...

I remembered in the heyday of Malaysia football scene...late 90's..where Selangor is on top of the world...my friend asked me to ride a bike from my hometown to Shah Alam just to watch Selangor vs Sabah..he got no license....so we rode for 1 1/2 hr just to watch a 90 minutes game...At 1st, we were one down..but then one of the foreign striker i forgot his name..scored a equaliser and we were jumping like mad in the stadium...and i hugged an indian dude at the back of me and jumping altogether..hahaha..we didn't even know each other but that goal unite both of us....that's the power of the game..who would think i'd would hug some stranger at night..hahaha

This game would stop a war..would start a war...and really changes you..that's why it is a beautiful game..So to those girls...wives..mothers who can't seem to comprehend why mens addicted to watch this game...it is bcoz we dun watch Dynasty..Knots Landing..General Hospital...or other soap opera...this is where grown men weeped. This is where men imagines he's the manager..the player..the ref..just to make a difference just like the girls would imagine herself in the drama..same thing....let your imagination run wild...

That's why we watch 22 men chasing over a round shaped ball all over the pitch...just like the heroine being chased by 2 or 3 hunky men...

Oh yeah..fyi, as a kaki bangku like me...managed to score 2 beautifuuuul goals for my team this yr was quite a feat...but we lost the FA Cup and the runner up for the league...its all my fault...lambat panas for the season...


"Never talks defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory. – Norman Vincent Peale"

Bila diri disayangi - ukays

Terdengar bisikan mesra
Kalimah keramat bermentara
Bermulanya siang berakhir malam ku
Tak akan ku jemu menyebut namamu...

Tiada batasan waktu
Tiada tempat mu tertentu
Di gunung di lembah, di darat, di air
Siapa pun hamba, keikhlasan doa, keagungan
Kasih merubah takdir....

Bila ku sedari diri disayangi
Langkah kaki ini semakin berani
Bila terkeliru ku ucap namamu, terasa diriku
Kembali dipandu...

Engkau pertama, tiada akhirnya
Aku dalam kegelapan engkaulah cahaya
Izinkahlah aku menumpang di sini
Di bawah naungan kasih dan sayang mu
Ku berserah diri...

:: kenaper tiba2 pah jiwang...hahaha...takde maknanyer!! sapa yg pegi DPA mesti tahu kenangan lagu ni masa last day. semacho-macho mcm mana pun nak tahan meleleh tp musti meleleh jugak. apa pertalian darah lagu ni ngan dpa...i dunno....but lagu ni fav en halim yg salu masuk tv skang ni sbb plkn. tak tau la kalau skang ni last day song dah berubah bila big boss nyer berubah. anyway, that 6 months experience masa dpa has always been the best experience in my life. rasa mcm nak pi dpa lagi minus the outdoor activities, exams and u-know-who-u-know-what- (TUTUP MONITOR!!!!!!). masa last day, nearly 280 ppl nyanyi lagu ni berulang2 kali sambil salam2 peluk2. thanks to all my friends for the lovely memories.

:: by hook or by crook i need to go to tesssco this lunchtime to buy me a very cheap radio. tak larat dah nak ulang2 lagu2 kat realplayer ni.

Mr smarty pants

Many things happened for the past month..so i think now is the right time to rants. First things 1st...my lil sis finally and officially join the ranks of undergraduate...starting her studies in matric gopeng in accountancy. Gosh, can't believe it my sis gonna be an accountant...hopefully...or probably became the right hand man for the mafia handling all the money laundering activities...that would be ultra cool. Nobody can mess around with my family then..mess with me..mess with the "family"...you'll be swimming with the fishes....

Last week, for the 1st time in my life..I watched the premiere of Da Vin*i Code at 10am during office hours..talk about tuang kerja...plus, my bossess were there too. And we were so cool about it...Dun want to start a review on that movie..but personally..reading the book is way much better...but to give some credits..i loved watching Ms Sophie Neveu acts..last time she starred in the movie Amelie...i was cupid struck back then with her..drool..drool..Now, she kinda look old for me..hehehe

On Friday, i took another certfication exam for the intel based servers..and i passed!!Woohooooo, i'm not a failure anymore...with 74 freakin percent. Damn i'm good. So i won a bet with my boss Rm150 for passing the exam. But the bad thing is, everybody expecting me to answer all technical answer..crap man..i'd just got certified in less than 72 hrs and expect me to be the Mr Technical Helpdesk.

Last weekend, i had to go up to PD for treasure hunt with some customers..there goes my weekend. I miss my sleep...We were flagged of in Putrajaya and drove thru Bangi and some other weird routes to PD..and on top of that..we had to solve 35 questions..for a newbie like me..it was so freaking tough... But all in all..the treasure hunt..the planing session and team building in PD was great..we had fun..loads of fun...

Come monday, as usual..i had to drag my butt of the bed...i'm so tired..but had to attend the ssl meeting in the afternoon...life goes on..again..got wallop a bit by boss...but heck..whats new..
Today...not a very good day for me....i went to OU after office to upgrade my nokia hp firmware, with hopes to use my bluetooth headset..kept having problem to use the bluetooth for quite sometime....after leaving it to the nokia service centre for an hour..they told me..the hp went kaput..had to pay RM230 to repair it as it is a hardware malfunction...for one week..ferkkkk...I really wish i had not upgraded the firmware in the first place...damn..damn..

So now i'm a juncture..to buy a new hp or just repair the old one...hehehe..3G phones is so tempting these days...i can do wonders with those phones..and the irony thing is..before i picked up my phone back..i've bought a nokia car charger....and now i can't use it all.

1st month anniversary....

i was bloghopping and found this quote that i want to share with all of you:

"Allah answers prayers in three ways:
He says yes and gives you what you want,
He says no and gives you something better or
He says wait and gives you the best in His own time."Insya'Allah.

******************************

hari ni genap sebulan kat sini....as per today...i still couldnt get the energy to work as how i used to work in the previous ministry. in fact i'm becoming more quiet here...rasanyer i'm becoming an introvert. no matter how i hated this place...no matter how slow and steady this place is...i need to think positive. i always said to myself and wani the cat that at least we are able to relax a bit here. mungkin itu hikmah yg Allah bagi. but then here, ur on own ur own, u will be working closely wif uniform officer, there's only like 6-7 officer frm ur own scheme and here ur the leader of ur own unit...frankly speaking, i'm not yet ready to become a leader...plus this is a totally diff job scope wif a very diff environment. all this while i've been hearing frens talking abt the scheme A vs scheme B issues....and now, i'm facing it myself...huhuhuhuhu. God..pls help me to overcome this fear.

yesterday, got an email frm a friend frm the previous ministry. last thurs mr P wif the M came to the ministry and my ex-boss and mr F is the busiest person ever. working late preparing for the presentation..making sure everything is almost perfect. i can imagine the situation already.....sure kelam kabut...gosh!! how i miss it!!! and mr F is the official tukang jaga slide masa presentation...wah!! sure ketaq lutut tuh....i remember last time masa MBSel dtg pun i was like so ketaq lutut wif the presentation...but the feeling of satisfaction lps selesai semua is great...no matter how busy u are....how tired u are working till late nites even during weekends...how kelam kabut and how ketaq lutut u are.....it really pays off. but then, no matter how damn much i miss my prev ministry, i still didnt regret my decision for leaving. i wanted a new environment and job scope...hmmm...tp tak sangka plak dpt sini kannn

*****************************

dear evil, thanks for the lovely surprise gift (though i can actually smell it, obviously la kan all this while u study for ur exam frm mr thinking pad...and SOOO suddenly yesterday 10 minutes before 12 tetiba nak turun keter amik notes....lakonan mu hebat evil!!). anyway, muah muah muah....mlm ni u nak banjer i kat mana plak?? ahaks!!!

schools!!! - tagged by fenot

HOW MANY SCHOOLS DID YOU GO TO?

1. Chim Kindergarten, DU (perlu ke letak??)
2. SRK Damansara Utama - 6 months
3. SRK KGV, Seremban - 3 1/2 years (ayorkk..ahkak satu sekolah ngan amey...bluerkkk)
4. Balestier Hill Pri. School, S'pore - 1 yr (sekolah tutup tak cukup murid!!)
5. Lee Kuo Chuan (LKC) Pri. School
6. Sek Men Saiiins Joohor, ClueWang

*believe it or not, i never took any UPSR or PSLE (they call it Primary School Leaving Exam in S'pore) and i never had my BCG when i was 12 yrs old. and i never experience being call budak darjah 6!! when we move to s'pore, i have to repeat my darjah 4 becoz kononnyer kat sana education level tinggi...wuteva! dalam erti kata lain kena turun darjah!! kalau students frm indon lg byk kena turun darjah.

WAS I THE STUDIOUS NERD OR THE LAST MINUTE HERO?

of course la last minute hero!!!!

WAS I THE TAIKO OR TEACHER’S PET?

none of the above...hahahah

BEST 2 SUBJECTS

hmm....music class masa kat singapore...and art class...kelas2 yg tak perlu berpikir!!!

3 TEACHERS THAT I REMEMBER MOST (FOR VARIOUS REASONS)

3 teachers tak cukup ler...but anyway

1. Cikgu Rashid - he taught us history masa form 1...and he is so damn cute (gelak guling2!!). anyway, he's the culprit that makes me wear my watch on my right hand until now

2. Mrs Sim - my add matchs teacher (i never like add maths). kalau dia jalan sebatu dah dengar (exagerate plak)...ketak ketuk ketak ketuk. cikgu yg paling senang dibuli...there is this one time, boys in my class tampal kertas apa ntah kat belakang dia....kehji sgt itu org!!! erk...did i mention that i have to take extra class for add maths?? arghhh!!! tensi tensiii

3. there is this one teacher kat LKC who hated me so much becoz me being a foreign student menyusahkan dia (i think so la she hate me). siap tukor ahkak pi kelas lain plak tuh!!! begini ceritanyer, students kat s'pore kena bayar monthly fees...tak kisah la s'porean or foreigner...cuma kalau foreigner ni mahal sket la. so cikgu ni nak nyenangkan hidup dia...nak semua students dia buat payment via bank in terus ker mcm mana ntah...tp mmg takdak resit ler. so my father dunt want to pay using that method coz he still need the receipts sbb nak buat claim. cikgu tuh apa lagi...hangin la...somemore i'm the only foreigner in that class.....so she purposely change me to another class yg ader ramai foreigner. tak kisah la...i like my new class...lg happening dr class cikgu tadi tuh...bluerkkk. nama cikgu dah lupa sbb dah benci sgt!! oh..i didnt tell u that she downgrade the class...i was at first in B class and she put me in C class becoz of that stupid receipt!!

Who do i Tag?
everybody in my link

those were the days..

i was re-organizing some of my old stuffs this morning and found this...hahahaha...pls take note that at the time these pixs were taken, the lovey-dovey feelin has not yet bloom....hahahahah..

and this is us...now

Failure

If one go to google and typed failure then clicked on I'm feeling lucky..one will be presented with the bio of some hobo in the US acting like a moron....
But here, in the good ol Malaysia..I've failed my certification exam...and i missed it with one more freaking correct answer!!!Arghhh..it was frustating and practically waste of money..RM 285 to be exact...Damn it..Have to take another exam next month or my performance evaluation gonna be a bit ugly...

Come to think of it, this was the 2nd time in my life..i've ever failed in exam papers..the 1st one was in MMU..final yr...1st sem...Econometrics. That was an unbelievably big mistake...I didn't attend the class coz i thought it was so damn easy....it's exactly like Statistics in A-Level days...so i thought...screw the classes..i'm better off playing counter-strike than calculating the index yr of China GDP or watsoever. So, when i took the exam...i was blinking for a couple of seconds and unable to comprehend WTF are these questions all about..Ferkkkkkkkkkk...I used to sailed maths related exams....piece of cake..but that was a wake up call for me...Not to be fuc*in arrogant anymore..especially in Maths...

Talking about arrogance in maths...there was time during my A-level days..Pn Shima, our Add Math teacher was talking bout algebra to the class and the whole boys were not paying attention at all..the girls was a bit intimidated coz we boys are so good in Add Math during the SPM days...so...this is another walk in the park..we were like chatting...playing pranks in front of Pn Shima...the girls can't concentrate and a tiny bit upset..and then..Pn Shima freaked out..suddenly burst in anger and shocked the whole class...like an 8.5 Richter scale earthquake...and she just grabbed her stuff and walked out of the class....Whoaaaa..it took us quite a surprise as we never experience that before..I use to get scolded or canned or stand up on the table etc..but this was new..Pn Shima practically gave up on us...ferkkkkkk....
Then the battle betw boys and girls erupted in the class..both parties blaming each other..your stupid..no..you asshole...well..you know the drill... It prolonged to several weeks and month i guess...where the boys and girls didn't talked to each other..it was quite funny though..as we were like adult but acting like school children...
But in the end..we called it a truce...peace finally set down in the class...no more flaming..blaming..tolerance were uphold...The boys went to Pn Shima's room, and apologize to her..she said " Forgiven but not forgotten" ...we were like "huh"...

Anyway, that was like almost 10 yrs ago...most of us have grown up..be more mature..able to think rationally..to weigh the difference betw good and bad...and maybe some forgotten bout it already...and i can't solve a simple SPM Add Math questions anymore..rusty and tak berkat kot!
I guess, i did failed to be a good person...an understanding and well rounded human being..with responsibility to my friends and family...

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. -Ralph Waldo Emerson"

no turning back....

finally today i got my connection and email add. yeah...some ppl are laughing at my @p***on.gov.my address. tak keysah la as long as i'm connected to the outside world.

hmmm....byk nak citer but dunno where to start what to start

yes? no? yes? no?

Here and there

Since cheeky already blogging bout the trip..i'd rather blog on something else then...Cheeky bought a book by Sopie Kinse*la..the Undomestic God*ess.. Yeah..it's a chic lit but I've got nothing to read so managed to finished it off in 2 days...now i know why i shouldn't buy novels...i can't stop flipping the pages. While reading that book, it does struck a chord as somebody in the rat race....chasing never ending things..the unnecessary stress..and when she lost her way to surburbia somewhere in UK i guess. The slow pace of life..the fresh air..the relax attitude..the close knit community...Lucky i'm going away for a week..if not, i'll be depressed after finishing that book...bad book.

During the same time..i bought another book to...after reading Ifah's blog on the Confessio* of an Econom*c Hit*man...thx Ifah for reading that book..this book is so damn cool..this is my kind of book..conspiracy theory..and eye opener for a mere person like me...Now i know why lots of countries against globalization....the start of New world Order...the thirst of oil and the suffering of 3rd world countries..highly recommended by me...

Then i bought another one before the trip so i won't be bored in the plane. The Search by some IT writer..this is for the geeks out there. It talk more on the history of search engine and how it evolve and mold our socio-culture indirectly. It goes to certain length on how artificial intelligence will be based on search engine like google and maybe..we can just upload our memory to a central server and live forever..Matrix like universe...The word google come from googol i.e 1 to the power of 100..Those people in google are really geeks and nerds......wish i can work there..hehehe

I finished The Search in Bali, so i prowled around Legian Street for bookshop and luckily stumbled upon one...its a small setup and cozy with tonnes of dusty books..the towkey wearing a cowboy hat was a bit stingy to give me more discounts..crap...most of it are in germans and italians...then i saw the book which i remembered my cz in law was reading months ago...it was Catch 22. She's one heck of a reader i might add...probably the queen of book reading..she'll be with a book everytime we met..good books..so, if she's reading it..i can read it too..hehehe. But it is so darn confusing..its like watching the movie Snatch or Memento...so many parallel storyline and i just can't follow the pace of it...

I wish i can just retire and spent the rest of my life reading books...Just like this mat salleh lady in our hotel. Everytime we got out or came back from rigorous shopping, she'll be sitting at the balcony with stacks of book..a glass of water....i guess she bought it from the cowboy wearing towkey..You're one lucky lady....

i have to delete my previous post on our trip. spt ader masalah ajer post itu...asyik error jer kalau nak bukak blog. i will re-post it again this weekend. anyway, this friday is gonna be my last day in the office. esok dah one whole day kena duty kat sini. so kira - kira ader one day left nak settle semua hal2 opis. sedey ker? hmm..takder perasaan pun. dunno what to expect at the new place...yg penting jgn la mimpi yg indah2.

i'm leaving the ministry at a very wrong time. tu la sapa suh extend. supposedly my transfer order is 1st april tp becoz of the long holidays, i request for postponment. with the recent aReMKay 9 announcement and our beloved PieM decision on doing a short notice visit to all the ministry, sure kelam kabut punyer. my unit is left with only 2 person. today my boss ask me to prepare a format presentation for the visit. tgh2 buat key in segala numbers tetiba terpikir, i'm gonna miss all these numbers and powerpoints format. owh!! did i tell u that besides excel, powerpoint is also my fav. i can browse the microsoft off online to get the best templates to suit my presentation tp salu tewas sbb taste kita tak sama ngan taste mereka. anyway, seriously rasa tak sedap hati nak tinggalkan office with all this kalutness. wopss...american idol dah mula...nak tgk my fav si botak.

how i spend my sunday....

i spend my whole sunday browsing the net and i'm stuck here!!!
at the end of the day: hentak paler kat bean bags!!!

the trip...

See that tall, dark and handsome bowl??? muchkin hubby insisted that i put the pix on the blog. reason: he also got good taste in ID. he bought it during his recent trip to KK. ok la dear, i have to admit that the bowl is so damn nice...but u need to improve on ur bargaining skills laarr. RM5 cut in price is not something to be proud of. anyway, more pixs can be viewed at cheeky's decor.

cobaan 1 2 3

dear evil,
one simple question - so who is the genius now? me or u??

My so called vacation...

My visit to KK was a last minute frenzy..it was 5.25pm Friday and boss asked me whether I'm going to KK or not...Need to get 6 cust to signed up for the CIO event for me to earn the ticket flight. I didn't know that all my cust wanted to go since earlier of the week, only 2 signed up..as usual, boss freaked out and yelling why he wasn't notified earlier to give me permission to go to KK..frankly speaking, i dun want to go since it was my birthday..away from my wifey..quarter closing and such...and everybody kept saying how lucky am i to go...its not a vacation damn it..i have to make sure all my customer are in ok condition..happy and satisfied with our services..crap..that's doesn't sounds right..but they expect to bring more projects during this event..how i wish all my cust would just jot down their project plan this yr and the budget they have...or even better..just issue the freaking PO
So, within 5 minutes..i called my other boss for approval..sent an email to the marketing dept for the green light...called MAS to check available flight...called Amex to book a ticket..picked up the ticket on saturday in KL and was in KK at 6pm Monday...that's why i luv working here...you dun dwell on things..meeting after meeting...just fu*king execution..wing it!! But i hate the rest of things here...
For the 1st time for a very long time..i was enjoying Sunday again..after knowing my whole team will be away..meaning no sales review meeting on monday..yeahooo...but i spoke too soon...we had the review on tuesday evening in the hotel rooms...and as usual...got wallop by boss..ouch!!
I was a last minute entry for this event..there was no available rooms for me...and since boss was sleeping alone..he offered me to bunk into his room..WTF...why me?? I was begging my marketing team to get me a room..any room...i'd rather sleep on the beach then with him..its gonna be pretty awkward..He promised not to do any Brokeback Mountain actions...heheehe..I'm not laughing......this is not funny...
That night..after picking my cust at the airport..i went straight to boss's room...walking slowly thru the aisle..looking at the room no...my mind processing tonnes of info..what to do..should i go to sleep straight away..do i pretend to work and look hardworking..do i sleep on the floor...which btw..it's a queen bed..not even singles..ferkkkkkkkk

to be continued...

my birthday boy....

dearest munchkin evil the genius

wishing u a very HAPPY 2* BIRTHDAY. hope u have a *FUN* birthday celebration over there. ur darling cheeky wife really cant wait to see u tonite.



but let say u sampai erl around 10.30...u amik cab erk...or maybe u wait after 11...i nak tgk mya zara...saat2 genting ni...hik hik hik

shop till u drop..

the purpose of goin to suebang pared yesterday was just to get me a nametag and a pair of glasses. but this is what we got...

2 pairs of SCS blouse for her
1 pair of SCS pant for her
1 damn cheap cuffling shirt for him
1 very nice country style key hanger frm the flea market
and nametag

ayork...and i'm goin there again...sooonnn. parkson is closing for some major renovation so there is this big sale goin on...and i tell u....very big one. dont go to klcc....we went there on saturday and not much thing left...banyak dah kosong.

mr evil is now in KK until wednesday...miss u oledi...tp takper dpt melenjan wif ur car. esok ader miting kat PBD...ingat nak pi melenjan kat OU ke MV ker...hak hak hak. i miss u dear......

how i wish....

1. i could blog on how busy i am these past few weeks. working morning till nite even during weekends

2. i could blog on how i hate people doin last minutes changes on my slides...i mean during the day itself just few minutes before the presentations and when i've already have it printed, binded and circulated. it really makes my heart goes dup dap dup dap!!! what do u expect when u have u-know-who as your minister. org kata "mulut tak insurans".....quote one of his statement during the meeting "that stupid mauuuweee"..apa kaitan dunt ask me...hahhaah...tu baru satu.

3. i could blog abt PGLtm.....the show was great....i lurve scenes that have ac...adlin and that one old man yg salu dok follow ac. ader satu part dia nyanyi..adoiii...comel nyerr!!! stephen rahman? how i wish mnasir was there just to do the dialogue voice-over. but this guy voice is great when he sings....i cannot imagine mnasir singing the way he sing and dancing the way he dance. me immediately bought the musical soundtrack. and our seats?? hohohoh...we were seated one row behind few ministers and ex minister...2 seats away frm cik rozzzina from astero...well...our tickets are frm astero...agaknyer satu row tu astero yg punyerk.

4. i could blog abt how at this moment i am desperately looking for a shop that can make nametag in just half an hour or less. our new KayeSyoU and TeeKay is very particular abt wearing nametage to work.

5. i could blog abt how i hate ppl who think that he/she knows everything and thought that he/she is always correct...boooooooooooooo...dush!!!!

6. finally...how i wish i could blog more often

p/s: cheeky bites updated....wif just pixs

So much about nothing

I still couldn't figure out to create multiple profile in one blog...Readers already been complaining coz they can't differentiate betw me and wifey...So, even though i'm a geek but i just can't find the function to add more profiles..Damn!! If there's a higher intelligence would be a ble to enlighten me, I'm humbled..

Moving along...Not much happened during these couple of days..Mostly the same ol thing..work..sleep..eat..meetings..you'll get the picture. With regards to eating, I've started to do crunches and sit up at home while wathing tv..hopefully that would help me in the middle section..hehehe..yeah i know...i'm vain..but, after the chest pain i had last year..made me thinking..life is too short. Probably i'll grab that Osim new contraption..U-Zap thingy...hehehe..it might work..

Last friday..wifey got tickets for the PGL in Istana Budaya..I quickly snap the opportunity though i'm suppose to have a drink with a partner...ahh...to hell with the drink..this is more important...So, there we are...watching PGL in awe..not by the performance..but the whole place..its darn cool...this is the 2nd i'm here..the 1st time..was more on business purposes. I'm not sure bout this theater screening..coz i'm a bit jakun with the whole thing...but it started pretty much late than schedule..like almost half hour late...maybe its Malaysian..heck..we created JIT in the manufacturing world!!... I just hate waiting...

The whole show was ok..as i have not seen any performance like this..so my benchmark and expectation was non-existent..but i dun want to give full review on it..lots of good viewers already blogging about it..do refer to them for a more objective opinion..But some observation i would like to comment on :

1. The stage was cool...it can change the height of the floor on the fly..so it gives the impression on the peak of Gunung Ledang..I was sooo impressed with this technological marvel the most...so..that's why i'm giving it a 2 thumbs up for PGL..hahahah.

2. AC Mizal can act...not as an Inspektor whoever in Gerak Khas only..wifey told me..he received a standing ovation for his performance..i'm not surprised..

3. The gwailoh Hang Tuah cannot act...i dun think that dude understand what he's saying...but give him credit...he can sing really well...now i understand why they can't pick MNasir or Awie to be the leading hero..the song is not ur standard off the shelf song in Radio ERA..

4. There's an english translation on top on the ceiling...and I just can help it to read it..it's like reading an english poem..i can't understand it..but useful to those mat salleh wanted to understand the myth..

5. Rubbing shoulder with high class society and famous peeps..not ur typical slut and bitches...bunch of old ladies with dyed hair and american slang...sigh

6. I can't stop noticed Tiara's hubby will clapped first after she sang a song...i mean any song for this case..Its kinda pathetic

7. I told my wife..I'm in heaven....she asked "Why?"..watching young girls berkemban prancing around live and my wife not pissed about it...hahahah

8. Got an intermission like hindustan movies...15 min of restroom time..how thoughtful

9. I only realized there was a live band accompanying the performance after the intermission..no wonder the music was very loud and i can't see any loudspeaker lying around...silly me..

10. No maxis coverage..I must complain to AK for this..they can cover the whole PLUS highway from Johor to Perlis but failed to cover this KL building...I can't believe this...or maybe the Istana Budaya peeps did it on purpose..to prevent those annoying beeps and tones during the show...We can never listen to instruction...Turn the damn thing off damn it...especially in Jumaat prayers....

11. No popcorn!!I was starving like mad...

12. The space betw the seats are lil bit tight..you got to stand up to give way people to go through..TGV have a better space than this..

The end

My to do's this week

1. Finish and present my account plan to boss
2. Apply long leave for the trip
3. Start working on the new brochures for my volume programme...

erk...tak tau dah nak tulis apa...chiow

Those were the days...

Bump into an article in my friends blog..That was before I bump into another blog and saw a picture of us during MMU Sport Carnival...way back then..gosh..time really flies...

Have we really progressed?

Born before 198O?

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.

When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip-flops and fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags - riding in the passenger seat was a treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted the same.

We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy juice with Sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.

We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no-one actually died from this.

We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.

We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no DVDs, no Internet chat rooms. We had friends - we went outside and found them.

We played elastics and rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt! We fell out of trees, got cut, and broke bones but there were no law suits. We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents.

We played chap-the-door-run-away and were actually afraid of the Owners catching us. We walked to friends' homes.

We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on Mummy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner.

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls.

We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of...They actually sided with the law.

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

And you're one of them. Congratulations!

Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow as real kids, before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good.

For those of you who aren't old enough, thought you might like to read about us.

This my friends, is surprisingly frightening......and it might put a smile on your face:

The majority of students in universities today were born in 1986........They are called youth.

They have never heard of We are the World, We are the children, and the Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel. They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena Cherry or Belinda Carlisle.

For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Viet nam

. AIDS has existed since they were born. CD's have existed since they were born.

Michael Jackson has always been white.

To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't Imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.

They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are films from last year.

They can never imagine life before computers.

They'll never have pretended to be the A Team, Red Hand Gang or the Famous Five.

They'll never have applied to be on Jim'll Fix It or Why Don't You. They can't believe a black and white television ever existed. And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.

Now let's check if we're getting old...

1. You understand what was written above and you smile.

2. You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after a night out.

3. Your friends are getting married/already married.

4. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computers.

5. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.

6. You remember watching Dirty Den in EastEnders the first time around.

7. You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good old days, repeating again all the funny things you have experienced together.

8. Having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to some other friends because you think they will like it too...

Sweet Bitter Pill

..last week was a long weekend for both of us...Took the friday off before CNY and drove to Penang on Thrusday night. Wifey got a sudden meeting there, so i volunteered to drove her there..What a nice husband i am..hehehe

Spent the weekend in Penang with all the confusing roads and kiasu drivers...It was nice to just let loose and hang out.. minus the countless sms or call from the boss requesting updates on my sales progress..sheesh..can't you just leave me alone!!!

view frm our room

I know my cust dun celebrate CNY, but i think since we are a multicultured society.."semangat muhibah" we all Malays too kinda join in the frenzy..look at the traffic jam...

Anyway, coming back to Penang story..we stayed in CityBayview..a 3 star hotelmi guess..loud banging music from the club..lousy breakfast menu..exactly same as Seri Malaysia menu..But i was excited for the wireless option for the guest.. I requested the prepaid card from the reception and their reply was.." it was out of stock for month..the vendor from spore have not came back to us" I was like..WTF..ur promoting this option on the counter..yet you dun have it...Since i really need an internet connection..i kinda loose it with the reception..an innocent bystander...hehehe sorry dude...

So, with no wireless, I wanted to use the land line to get connected..but warned by wifey not to use as it would be charge in the rooms later...sigh..In a MSC state here, but I just could not get online..it's a nightmareeee!!

So, my last plan was to go online..with my handphone..I've thought about this for awhile..after i bought my 6260 which have a modem function but never tried it before..so..as a geek like i am..i align my hp beside my thinkpad and activate the infra red...then connect both of these device...and launch the nokia suite app..after tinkering for quite sometime with the settings..i was online..Heaven on earth....hehehe....a very slow heaven experience i might add. Feels like surfing in the 90's where the fastest modem was 14.4kbps...Blazing speed..burning rubber...

GPRS connection was around 11-14kbps around here...When can malaysia have Wimax..or at least 3G...hmmm, probably its time for me to change to 3G phone instead..hunney..Whaddaya think?

I was online during the and happily replicating my email when it struck me..gprs are costed per kb downloaded..i quickly glanced thru the meter and it was already 7mb downloaded..Did a quick calculation for it and it was like 70 bucks..f**K!! Called up helpdesk to confirm the charges and turned pale...i'm broke for a 15 min of pleasure on heaven...now i know to surf after 12midnite for a half rate...Mental Note!!

We arrived in Alor Staq on sat afternoon..and i practically park my butt on the dining chair looking for anything edible...My MIL do cook nice stuff...but not as good as you hunn..hehehe..from there on..i'm like the big eating machine..day in day out...now that's a vacation.....we went to fenot's wedding on Monday...another eating frenzy...think i'm too spoilt for food...too many choices...soo limited time..

Went to Padang besar with the rest of the family during the weekdays...shopping around for stuff...i'm just the designated supir..i always wanted to buy that bonsai plant...but i have my doubt to take care of it. Officially, my ulam pegaga already gone to heaven plant....probably too miserable living with me..ooh yeah.. while we're in Penang.. we dropped by to Penang version of petaling street in batu ferenghi..damn its nice...lots of fake goods...at a good price...alot of tourist shopping around with a garbage bag full of CK designer bags..and also..you wont be harrassed by the peddlers like the one in PS. They can be very annoying and scary...i tend not to even touch the stuff if i dun want to buy anything....And they always approached me for a porn vcd's...for the last time...leave me alone!! I bought a two iron balls in penang with a yin yang pattern on it..i like..hehehe..me like playing the balls..you rotate the two ball on ur palm...ok..that doesn't sound right...moving along....btw...i'm not a porn freak...

Coming back to kedah...zooming in pdg besar...she spent most of the time in the jewellery shop..buying loads of beads..and me waiting for them bored to death. While we're in another outlet...buying a wood vase...i could really see the bargaining skills from my MIL..she's rock.. I can believe she can haggle the poor ol pregnant lady like crazy..I dun want to be in her shoes...I was already sympathize the pregnant lady..afraid she might burst with the kind of onslaught my MIL is giving...another mental..never sell anything to ur MIL..eventhough ur in sales...i think she eats salesmen for appetizer...me very afraid!!

We made it alive during the trip and later that night wifey decided to go back to big field the next day...I was like dumbstruck..huh!!Am i missing something here..we just cameback and yet she wanted to go there again tomorrow...

As a loving and understanding husband as i am....not to the level of pissed of..we went there again..just the 2 of us...luckily...there was not much shoppers as its already working day in here..and guess you can bargain better price...she bought more beads and i just stood there doing nothing..what my life have become...

"i tak suka B**i M**** and Uncle Gla**e* balik, i tak dpt tgk astro"

The rest of the days was routine..get up late..breakfast..read paper..fighting over the remote with my niece Kelly..she's 8, so everybody can guess who wins the remote...i dun watch disney channel for a very long time now...go for lunch..sleep..wake up...go out for dinner...and watch more tv...exactly like ayam ternak minus the astro lah....

We cameback to KL on sat evening..ran thru a recent accident scene with a guy lying on the road face down..i just dun wanna watch that...at least wifey were awake till we reached damansara tolls..quite a feat..as record shows she'll be counting sheeps within the 1st hr of the journey....

Ok...better stop now...or i wont stop at all...its been awhile i've not blogged this long before...think the long holidays do brings a breath of fresh air...rejuvenated...

Btw, the title of sweet bitter pill usually refers to drug related stuff...but i'm just rekindling the memories of my friends in a-level who banded to together and called themselves SBP..and life like this...its a sweet bitter pill to swallow............

on work and life

:: yesterday was the happiest day in my life - work related. i manage to get the figures on the system and on my record rite at the first count on my giant calculator. big grin the whole day. for some of you it might not be a big deal...but for me working with figures and i mean big figures for the past 2 years, it really felt great!!!

:: but today, on personal matter...i felt so down. things happen for a reason. whatever the reason is, you have to accept it and learn to appreciate it eventhough it is heart-wrenching.

~cheeky~

p/s: dont bother buzzing me...oi oi me on YM.....will only get it hours and hours later

.................

i never like that song...gemeelung....i think that song is a hit becoz of the powerful vocal of jacq (tp td dia nyanyi ader seket pelek laaa). i was hoping awan yg dok berpilu tuh menang...so shweet la that song.....sesuatuh sangat neeng pakai kain batik masa final aejayel...hahahhaha...tp boringnyerr aejayel tahun ni.
