Stupid Iphone II
[ 11:32 pm ] This is dumb. I've gone through about 4 DFU restores now, none which lasts more than 2 hours. Just when I thought I had fixed it. This is getting really tedious even for a techie like me. I've posted on the forum and now am following the steps to unlock the bugger again. I don't think I've been that pissed over something inanimate for a long time. You know this sucks 'coz you're probably the only one around who supposedly knows how to fix this and ... you can't. It's not like you can waltz into some shop and get them to fix it ... noooo ... the price you pay for technology. I shan't give up ... but to press on! So much for technology. Hmmph. 0 comments

[ 2:56 pm ] Damn sad. My iPhone is spoilt!! Arrrghhhhh NnooooOooooooOoo. Still trying to fix it. Whyyyyyy ...... WHYYYYYyyyyy ..... WHYYYYYYYYYYYY .... :'( Sigh .... Now, if only I have these same emotions for other things in life. 0 comments Tuesday, June 17, 2008
Just a few things
[ 3:45 pm ] Suki's website is coming along really nice ... I'm quite proud of myself. *Breaths in reallyyyyyyy deeeeeeep and puffs up* :D Ok la, pride isn't gonna take you anywhere, but I am pleased with my work. I love working with really nice photos ... ESPECIALLY studio shots. Simply marvelous. A little bit more and I'll be done ... too bad I only get to do this after working hours. I charged a nominal fee for the website ... so much cheaper than I would normally quote, but since it's Vincent, I can't possible qoute him double the fee. Oh well, no complains there. At least my Mulu Cave trip is pretty much covered now. I'm happy :) Who wants to go Mulu Cave with me? I'm gonna wear a Batman T-Shirt when I go there. Last week I had to call up someone because my boss couldn't converse well in Malay ... well, that makes the both of us haha. My goodness, I really need to practice speaking in Malay more. Today he got another colleague to make the call instead :P A full tank of petrol for my car is around RM97-RM105 now ... for what used to be RM67-RM72. Sigh. I need to be a little tight on the wallet now ... but I've been going out way too much than I usually do. HOW LA!? Better than staying at home to watch Animes and play computer games, right? RIGHT? Speaking of which, I started playing Rohan Online. Hit me up if anyone wants to join the game. It gets a little lonely playing alone there. The band will be heading to Cyberjaya this weekend. I don't think I want to drive the van now ... considering what happened to it the last time I drove. Hmmm ... maybe I'll drive, need to familiarise myself with the route. I can't remember how to get there. This should be another fun weekend. I don't think I've improved much on my guitar. Haven't practice much these few days ... how come some people can practice for more than an hour and I can't do that!? Don't they have anything else to do!? Sometimes I feel that I'm like the weakest link in the band, heh. Need to improve fast to match up with the rest. Sigh. I was having a short chat with pastor a few nights ago since he messaged me out of the blue on Skype ... maybe because of my status message. I haven't caught up with pastor for quite a long while now. I asked if he had the opportunity to say "I love you" to his dad? He did, only once ... not sure if his dad heard it. Then I said, sometimes even only once is enough for some people. Like me. I didn't get the chance to say that I loved my dad. It's a shame when the people that you care about are alive, you don't say those words ... and when they're gone, you only have remorse and regret. Such a shame. But despite all this, God is still good, ask me and I'll tell you why :) I used to hate it when he says we're both alike. Pastor said that he probably meant, he was really proud of his son. One thing that I can never deny is that, I know my dad is DAMN proud of me. Looking back, a little older now, yeah, I do realise we share some similiar traits ... and it irks me. How ironic for someone that refuse to be like his father ends up one day realising how much he has in common with his old man. Take what's good and leave the bad. That's what I'm gonna do. Dad and I share the same interest when it comes to planes. I remembered when I was young, I wanted so much to be a pilot ... all the way till I was 13. Then ... I had to wear glasses. I thought to myself, crap, there goes my ambition. So I gave up. Dad wanted to be a pilot too, so did his son. Guess the both of us failed. I wonder if my son will share the same dream the both of us did? Now that I'm aware of the different personality traits that are out there ... my dad was a PURE MELANCHOLIC. He was an introverted thinker, quiet and opinionated. "I love You" ... really powerful words. Though, I feel it shouldn't be said if you don't mean it ... but if you do mean it, do say it a lot. People forget. 0 comments Monday, June 16, 2008
Strange dream.
[ 10:29 am ] I woke up having dreamt that someone else was sleeping in MY BED when I got home ... and it was a guy. Specky guy. What the hoot. Get out of MY bed. I hated his guts. What are YOU doing in my bed? Why are YOU cozy in MY bed? Just because YOU are a friend of a friend, that doesn't give you the license to sleep ON my bed! Why did you even appear? You have no right. I was pissed off when he smiled. You thief. Taking everything away. So yeah, that was my dream. Good morning :) 0 comments Sunday, June 15, 2008
Stress and losing focus
[ 10:34 pm ] If there was a time where I needed to scream at the top of my lungs ... it would be now. Gimme a minute. Done. You guys should try screaming into a pillow ... haha ... yeah, it's muffled, technically it's still a scream. What am I do? I can't concentrate. It's so hard to juggle 3 things in my head. The last I checked in the mirror, I didn't look like a circus juggler. In any case, I know I'll rise above this and have everything under control. I just need to keep a cool head and just get on with it. You can only do so much with your flesh. Sigh. I'm gonna go watch some animes to chill. It's still a Sunday and I'm gonna enjoy it. Let tomorrow worry for itself, today is ... today. In times like this ... having a pet cat would really be awesome ... sigh. I need a friend. I mean, animal friend. 0 comments Friday, June 13, 2008
I am a living program.
[ 11:21 am ] I feel the need to pen down all my thoughts lately, I tend to forget 'important' things. Significant things that I want to say to someone, the things I want to do, ideas, inspirations, rants, but most importantly, the things I want to tell people. It's really dumb when I have so much to say in my head and at the same time unable to articulate it well in words. Something was really bothering me the past few days and it does drain you when you think about it too much. You play different scenarios in your head like a trained military strategist ... 'what if' situations, preparing counter measures, what to say 'IF', what to do 'IF', 'IF' this happens THEN what ... damn, it's like I'm writing a computer program in my head to act out different situations. I might as well be an Articifial Lifeform. Yes, I know I think too much. It might as well be a hobby, or maybe it already has. It's really hard to train my thought life when I have a REALLY active imagination. One of these days, I might even translate all these thoughts into short films. Awww ... I really wanna do that. In any case, back to the point. Yes, I was down in the gutter. Well, for a day only actually, haha. I was reminded by someone (Charlene actually) that even David at some points of his life kept asking himself, "Why are you downcast, oh my soul ..." through Psalms 42 - 43. But he's reminded to put hope in God. That little girl can be so sweet with her encouragements :) You know, as geeky as this may sound, if my life was nothing but a 'program' then I'm a 'variable'. I could change into any value I want ... and God would be that 'constant'. 'Coz I know for a fact that He doesn't change. If I could depend on Him last time, I could still do the same now. So, while I wallow in my misery, at least it's for a day now instead of weeks. You can only think so much. Thinking doesn't have any actions attached to it. In a way, for all you know, we think we're like God. Hoping that whatever we think will come to pass. I certainly can't think of creating the universe or even have the creativity to cover the whole Earth with millions of different lifeforms. When God 'thinks', it happens because He wills it. Sorry, I'm not capable of that, but I'm comforted that this God thinks of me :) So, while I sometimes can wallow in self pity, it's only for the shortest time now. He knows what's best for me ... now, all I need to do is to stop messing things up haha. I love the Aurora Borealis. I really want to see it within this lifetime. I've always thought it was something magical and romantic. I could only watch it on TV. Sad right? I've always loved staring up in the night sky, looking at the countless number of stars and occasionally spoting a satellite or two ... but I can't remember when I last did that. The night sky over here is too bright, you could only see the moon. I was asking Nate, since he's from Alaska if he saw the Aurora before. Seems to be common for them. At least I know I have a local guide if I ever get myself there. See, isn't it gorgeous? Oh, I'll be designing Suki's website, it should be up next week. Just in time for the needed cash since I've been bitching about it. I have the promo album on my table for 2 days now, haven't had a listen to it. The album cover looks ok, they really made her up in the studio photos. Well, I'm just hoping this goes well, haven't design any websites for a while now. A little karat. I wrote something really long for someone, maybe it isn't the right thing to do at the moment. 0 comments Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Bills Bills Bills
[ 9:10 pm ] Omg I'm so depressed. I hate doing the monthly bill. How come it doesn't add up!? 0 comments
Weekly Update
[ 1:46 pm ] Petrol price hike ... I'm gonna feel the pinch soon. It usually takes about 65-70 bucks for a full tank, now it's gonna cost me over 100 bucks. How la? Everything else goes up except for your wages. Bleh. However, things are still manageable. Just can't imagine how things will be when they increase the price again come August. I'll join a street protest if there's one. Kung Fu Panda was awesome! It's been a while since I last watched an enjoyable animated movie, I think the last was The Incredibles. I like the movie :) Next up is gonna be ... 'The Happening'. I've always liked Night Shyamalan's movies. I think I've watched all of it ... this is gonna be good. I can't wait. Planning to watch this coming Friday, if anyone's interested just lemme know, I usually book 6 tickets anyways. Someone asked me if I've achieved anything thus far? To be precise, what were my greatest achievement/achievements to date? I was taken aback by that question. Didn't see that coming. I gave it a little thought ... and I couldn't come up with something. Have I not achieved anything? Maybe I can't see it ... but I know what my greatest achievement will be ;) I've mentioned it before, so I'm not gonna say it again. Had lunch with Eric and Doreen after church yesterday. We tried out this Swiss gourmet cafe in Summit itself. I've been walking passed it way too many times to be interested ... but what a gem we found! The price was reasonable and the food is really good. This is gonna be my next hang out spot. I'm planning to check out Groove Junction sometime this month, I wonder what they have in store this time. I missed out on some really great stuff in their May calendar .... oh well. Eric suggested that we should try to meet up at least once a week. I mentioned to Kanmani that I remember reading in the papers of a Japanese restaurant where all the waiters dress up as Ninjas! Interesting, right? Now that's a place I wanna have fun in. So I did a little research and found the name of the establishment, hehe ... it's called “Ninja Jones Japanese Restaurant”. I think it's sooooooo cooooooooooool. Look at him la! Who wouldn't want to dress like that?! Nowadays, I find my weeks really packed with different things to do. I'm not sure if that's really a good thing. Someone said that it's great, it just means you have a fulfiling life? I don't know what to say about that. Perhaps it's true, but isn't it sad that my fulfillment in life is measured by the things I do? ;) Maybe it's true IF it's put into the right context. Hey, I'm not complaining, as a matter of fact, I like it. I just wish that there's more time to do everything under the sun. Maybe age is catching up to me, wanting to do everything and anything before it's too late? Who knows, what I know is, I'm enjoying life a lot more now, and it's fun when you get to drag people along with it. I think I'm the type that need activity buddies ... I can't watch movies alone anymore. Maybe the loner is dead, eh? Nah, I think he's taking a nap for the moment. I found out this site called Youniverse.com that's quite interesting. I have a penchant for personality tests :) It's pretty cool 'coz it's not quiz based but visual. So, all you have to do is just pick the images that appeals to you based on the question. So much easier than those worded ones. So, how did I fare? Well ... some weren't suprising while some I felt weren't accurate. I think I know myself too well. So why do I even bother with these tests? Simply because it's fun :P I haven't been exercising regularly these couple of weeks and I'm feeling a little unhealthy already. Need to get back to my routines! Some eagle-eyed person spotted a strand of white hair on my head. White hair. Hmmm .... white hair. AWESOME! I HAVE WHITE HAIR! No wonder nowadays I feel a lot wiser than I usually do. 0 comments Friday, June 06, 2008
Weekend yay
[ 6:25 pm ] Getting ready for the weekend :) Home cell is happening later, so I'm at Canadian pizza (just below my office) since I'm in charged of hospitality this week .... and yeah, I'm typing this now while waiting for the pizzas to be ready. Not sure why I'm spending so much for hospitality ... hmm ... nevermind la, it's a blessing to be a blessing. Ah ... pizza's here, that was quick! 0 comments Thursday, June 05, 2008
Swenson's
[ 1:30 am ] I went for dinner with Sarah at Swenson’s just now. Well, I kinda owe her a dinner + ice cream for a really simple favour. Needed her help in something. Kinda patched things up with Sunil already. Taking the first step is always the hardest, am just glad I did. Oh, I got him a fruit basket as a peace offering … very original I would say. I know I have a bunch of things to write, but I’m just too tired now. 0 comments Tuesday, June 03, 2008
Bad memory.
[ 1:15 pm ] Well, haven't updated this blog for a few days now. I think the reason why I've been trying to update my blog regularly now is probably due to the failing memory. I don't want to forget. Now, let's see if I can recall events starting from last Thursday? :) I remembered that the print ad that I've been working on since last Monday was rejected by my boss 'coz it was too kiddy. Well ... I have to agree on that. Hmm, I need an Art Director, I find it hard to be wearing both hats at the same time. The one directing AND doing the job ... though I'm pretty sure there are those that do that, but sometimes I have problems creating what I visualise ... anyways, no problem there. Although I was a little upset, but being upset doesn't solve anything. So, here I am now with 2 more drafts. Just sent it over just now, hoping it'll be alright, then I can work on the other ad. Deadline is end of next week. Friday ... I can't remember what happened on Friday. Crap. Saturday ... I had a really good night's rest ... and spent the whole afternoon rolling on my bed. Someone had an active imagination and thought that was funny. Ahem. Anyways, I really needed the rest. Later that evening, attended Leong's wedding at Palace of the Golden Horses. Had to pick Weng and Siew Li up from their home in Puchong ... I'm really bad around that area. Thankfully I didn't get myself lost. I've never been to Palace of the Golden Horses before, so I was kinda excited over the whole thing. It's supposedly a posh hotel la ... but it didn't look at that, as a matter of fact, I found that the hotel was a little poorly maintained. I probably need to have a better look the next time I'm around the area. It was a garden wedding. This is one of the quietest wedding I've ever been to. Food was awesome, but the crowd, I wished there was a bit of noise. Everyone was too prim and proper ... boring. Maybe I'm just too used to the weddings we have at Acts Church :) Man, I don't want my wedding to be like that, people need to have fun! Leong seems to have made the night memorable with fireworks! Yeah, 5 minutes worth of fireworks ... I think it woke up some if the hotel guests. AND this is the first wedding I've been to that has a donation box going around for China Earthquake victims :) I think that's quite noble. Weng seems to think that my driving changed a lot ... more dangerous perhaps? Hmmm ... he's not the only one that said that, maybe it's true. Kanmani said I tend to tailgate, I'm not sure about that ... guess I need to adjust my distance and remind myself to drive safely. You know you're wrong when close friends tell you something isn't right. Sunday ... nothing much happened, I can't remember, sorry. I woke up a little later than usual this morning. The house was a little quiet, I think my mom went to the gym. Kanmani called while I was having breakfast, what an odd time to call. Anyways, I think she got the job at Deloitte. What can I say? I am really happy for her. Looks like she'll be settling down in Malaysia after all, but hey, who knows? I'd really HATE to see her leave again. She seems to be quite excited over the whole thing, thank God I managed to convinced her to stay few months ago and not get her UK visa. Hey, there's no place like HOME, ok? As much as we whine about this country, it's still your home. We have it better than most people out there. Gonna be watching Kung Fu Panda this weekend, yay! 0 comments Archives nothing |
