Stupid People.
[ 3:27 pm ] I was a little upset during lunch time today. Right next to our table were 2 ladies and another guy. One of the lady was pregnant, probably well into 7th month or so (how do I know? Guessing la). Ok, this is what bugs me. Two of them were smoking. I mean, come on ... she's pregnant and you're puffing away? Wtfeck? I don't care how courteous you were helping her get up from her seat and all ... but while holding a ciggy in your hand? Wtfeck? What's wrong with this picture? You're doing more harm with that stick in your hand la. What's pissing me even more is that the other girl that's fagging away is pretty as hell ... all that will fade away if she doesn't quit. I'm very judgemental hor? Bloody lack of common sense. 0 comments Monday, September 29, 2008
I miss this place
[ 2:44 pm ] Hello hello! I paid Sunway College a visit today ... it was so nostalgic :) I went to meet up with the Student Services department to discuss about the competition we're organising. This place really brings back a lot of memories. I really miss being here. The cafeteria now looks more like a cafeteria, the whole college is wifi-enabled, the finance department where you pay your semester fees has those numbering system like the bank!! FUAHHHHH ... so canggih already. The student services department looks a lot more spacious now ... I think they renovated it. The room where our Leo club use to meet, is now a little store selling merchandise. I was thinking of exploring the place a little bit, but I was rushing to get back to office, sigh. I doubt any of my lecturers are around anymore, well, maybe one or two ... and they aren't exactly MY FAVOURITE one. So, no need la ... pay them a visit for what? Didn't really help me much with my studies. Lousy fellas. The only lecturer that really taught me well was Pranit, a Fijian of Indian descent. Now, he was cool. Talks in a weird accent, but still, very cool. I enjoyed most of his classes, he taught me Network Engineering and Project Management during our final year. He was my finally year project supervisor as well. See, when you have an awesome lecturer, you get awesome students ... like me :P I scored the highest for Project Management and highest for my final year project that year. The trophies now sit nicely in my room ... collecting dust. Speaking about Pranit, I got in contact with him early this year ... after so so long. He's teaching in Australia now :) I miss college life. There's so much I want to do now. I think I missed out on a lot of fun ... working life sometimes isn't as fun. Gosh ... the thrill of having an exam! Hahaha ... I bet I can score :) Sadly enough, I haven't been in touch with any of my college mates except for a few like Becky and Wern Shen, while the rest either have dropped off the face of the Earth or maybe busy doing their own things. I didn't have much friends back in college too. I don't know why. Perhaps I had a prejudice against people that we're keen on studying or maybe I'm just too picky with who I hung around with or maybe ... I'm just shy and really slow at warming up to new people. I still have that problem after all these years. It's a personality trait I suppose. Speaking of lecturers earlier on, there was one that I've never liked. A woman on a power trip. She treats the class as if we were still in school. There was once when the department organised an event, some IT week and the response was rather lacklustre. She marched into the class while another lecturer was teaching and we were still ... well, on our seats. We were asked to stand on our feet and she 'interrogated' everyone. Those that gave a valid reason were asked to seat. ANNNNDDDD .... quite a few of us remained standing. Stupid right? Think what? Still in school issit? Lecturers really need to be careful of what they say. This particular woman once told the class that Multimedia and Design students won't be able to make in the working world. At that time, I was contemplating to major multimedia ... upon hearing that, I took Computing and Information Systems instead. While I did well, but it didn't save me the trouble of my working life. I did programming for a year, I hated it so much. Somehow, you can never run away from passion ... if you always had a talent in the creative field, eventually you'll end up in it. That's where I am now. My mistake was to listen to her. I am sore about it, still am. If there's an opportunity for me to go back there and reeducate these students, I really would. Lecturers need to mind their words. Sometimes there are students that do listen to what you have to say. Miss Shirley, you suck. On a happier note, TGIF is gonna be opening soon downstairs! For some strange reason, I don't know why I'm happy about it, but I am. At least now, if anyone wants to catch up over dinner ... I don't have to drive, all I need to do is to slyly suggest them to drive here instead! I can't wait! This week is the Raya week. Empty city. What better time to raid KL. Wait, why do I need to do that? There's nothing to do in KL :( I wonder who's free to hang out ... or I could just spend my time playing Warhammer Online. Now, that's quite productive right? Too bad Friday is a working day, maybe I'll from home? Gonna play by ear. This coming Wednesday is my Mom's birthday. My sister will be taking her out for breakfast and the movie ... coz she won't be around at night. Bleh. Anyways, planning to take my mom out for dinner at San Fransisco Cafe nearby. Just the other, she was asking me how to increase the volume on YouTube. I was like ... what are you doing in YouTube? Since when were you visiting YouTube? And then ... yesterday morning, she said she's not too old for Facebook ... and wants to have a Facebook account. Arghhh ... there goes the online privacy. It will be so weird to have your own mother in the friend list. Eh ... not private anymore la .... :\ 0 comments Friday, September 26, 2008
:)
[ 4:09 pm ] What a week ... I'm feeling really tired and sleepy, haven't been getting enough rest lately. Work is getting really interesting and I'm quite excited about the marketing direction we are going. I've been doing a little contacting and liaising with colleges and boss has been inviting me along for some of his meetings (ok, so far one, and one was postpone today, but more next week), I love to observe and pick things up. I need to come up with some a newspaper ad to be publish in The Sun ... I've no experience in news print design ... oh well, good challenges. Let's see how things goes :) I mentioned in the last post about the Ramadan Bazaar? Well, I went there again last Sunday with Kanmani. She's been craving for Ayam Percik since she came from the States. It was already drizzling and we almost had to cancel. Good thing it stopped :) The amount of food there is amazing ... but it gets a little repetitive, you hardly see any 'innovations' :P Wish I snapped a picture, I bought an authentic lamb kebab for RM5. Tastes quite good ... instead of wrapping it together with potato ... this guy wraps it french fries ... ok la, potato also. I couldn't remember the last time I had FRESH Sugar cane, so I bought a bottle home .... among other things. I think I spent a lot ... no self control when it comes to pasar malams or bazaars like these. I think I'm the type that's willing for fork out money for food, but NOT expensive food .... just something new and interesting, I don't mind trying. MMMMmmmmm .... There's this really cool girl that walks up and down outside the office each day from where I sit. She probably works like 2 offices away. Petite, long hair, great sense of style, and really attractive ... but that's just about all there is now. EYE CANDY! Hahaha ... 0 comments Thursday, September 18, 2008
Runaway!!
[ 2:46 pm ] I had a really bad dream last night ... In the dream, I bumped into someone, probably some aunty that I have not meant in a long while, so we caught up a little. She asked what I've been up to and if i'm already married. Then I said no ... still single. Immediately she said, why don't you marry my daughter? (WTF?) Before I knew it ... I was wearing a black suit with a red bow tie. I had no shoes to wear ... so I wore a pair of white sneakers instead. Classy. I think that looks so cool. Anyways, I remembered the feeling ... it wasn't pleasant at all. I didn't even know who the girl was, nor have I met her before ... all I remembered was ... it wasn't a nice feeling, I had a lot of doubts and uncertainties. She looked like someone that I WOULD NEVER EVER FALL FOR (sorry) .We didn't go to her home to pick her up, instead we were suppose to meet in church. Anyways, I remembered waiting somewhere high up, looking down at the church below ... observing the guests that were arriving. More and more people arrived ... and the more I felt uneasy, and thought this was a really bad choice to make. I felt I was marrying the wrong girl. The fear of being stuck with the wrong person for the rest of my life frightened me. I thought about running away ... not wanting to turn up for the wedding. I didn't know what to do. Then she arrived at the church. So where's the groom? Hah! I'm up here ... observing, no one could see me. I needed to run, this is a bad idea. I RAN AWAY! More like, I escaped, lol ... eh no laughing, this is serious matter. A lot of people were trying to contact me ... but I hid myself in a room somewhere. Crazy thoughts were filling my mind. What have I done? How did I get myself into this mess? What's gonna happen to the wedding? How much have I wasted on the wedding? Who's gonna pay for the wedding? Oh my god ... what a mess I've gotten myself into! It was evening already ... everyone was frantically searching for me. Then her parents found and cornered me. I didn't know how to explain myself? Then I finally said, "I can't do this, this is wrong ... I don't even like her". Then they disappeared and I found myself running again ... this time, I was stopped by David (my ex-college mate, lol). He gave me a tight slap!! And asked what I'm doing. Then I explained myself that I need to get out, and this wasn't the right decision, he smiled and helped me escape from all the people that were looking for me. I was at this new place ... away from everyone, and I sat down and thought about all the decisions I've made (wah ... in a dream, I can think!!). Then I made a phone call to this person ... that I knew didn't turn up for the wedding ... and asked why wasn't she there ... and I told her what transpired. I think I was comforted by what she said, though I couldn't remember what it was ... and assured me that, that was the right decision to make. Hahaha ... and I was still worried about who's gonna pay for the failed wedding. Then, the dream ended. What a nightmare. Who wanna interpret for me? :D Now, don't say I'm commitment phobic. I don't think I am, as a matter of fact, I think I'm quite loyal. I don't know what to make of this dream. How could I had made such a huge mistake? Running away from a wedding isn't a manly thing to do man, an act of a coward. But I know one thing for sure, I will not settle for someone who's not right for me ... never. Some people end up wondering if they made a mistake marrying their spouse. I know, maybe some point in their life, that could happen ... would it be naive for me to hope that it won't happen to me? But I don't want to come to that. Good thing that I'm still single and don't have to think about this now. Lol ... I remembered how the bride looked like ... there was ZERO attraction. ZERO. NEVERRRRRRRRRRR!!! Don't let this happen!!!! Stupid dream. Oh yeah, I met up with Joel last Monday. It had been a while since I last saw him. We caught up a little and he seems to be doing rather ... excellent. He wanted me to build a website for his dance studio ... since I designed one for him before ... but this time round, it's gonna be a lot of corporate identity stuff ;) Sounds rather fun. So ... I said yes, haven't figured how much to quote him yet. This morning I drove all the way to Menara Sunway to meet up with someone, they needed a freelancer for a video presentation ... too bad I accepted Joel's project already, and I don't think I can handle 2 projects at once ... better not to bite more than you chew! So I gave Chern Liang's contact instead. Sigh ... but I wanna do that video presentation, coz that looks like fun too! Anyhooooo ... I'm hoping to earn enough money to maybe, visit someone in London sometime next year ;) I'll be spending some of my free time now to play ... Warhammer Online! Hah ... another online game to suck my life away. So far, I've gotten a few people to join me :P Jia Wern being one of them. I'll be getting the game later today ... so ... farewell world, you shall not hear from me much now! BUT, I welcome invitations from thee! Balance ... balance ... cannot be too sucked into the game ... I remembered what FFXI did to me ... oh well, yay. How's work btw? It's good. Exciting times indeed. We'll be holding a competition soon with a few colleges sometime end of the year ... I'm excited about it! Why won't I? I've seeing exponential growth in the company and I'm really proud to be in this start up! It feels good to have contributed something to it :) You know, I was wondering the other day, where will I be in a couple of years time? Will I still be in this company? Or would I had moved on to another? I really dunno. At this point in time, I really have no clear directions to go, all I'm focused about now is to make this current start up work ... with what abilities that I have :) Thanks for reading :) 0 comments Monday, September 15, 2008
So many things!
[ 3:26 pm ] Hello. The weekend seem to pass by really quick ... didn't had much time to reflect. It's the puasa month now ... a month that I kinda dread. Why? The usual staring, puzzled look and questioning ... Hmmm. Had lunch with my colleagues the other day at this Indian Muslim restaurant. The waiter asked why I'm not fasting. I was tempted to answer rudely ... but ... nah, I just said that I wasn't a Muslim. Well, he had the unsure look on his face. Bleh. Anyhoooooo ... I've been trying to go to the Ramadan Bazaar at SS18 since Puasa started! And I finally did yesterday :) I really really love it. Everywhere you turn, it's food and more food. I could spend the time walking up and down the stretch ... at the risk of looking like a retard :D Been craving for Ayam Percik and Lontong for a while now, so I finally got some. While walking, I was thinking ... hey, this isn't fun ... doing this alone. Yeah, it's no fun doing things alone sometimes. Anyways, just some things I have to live with. Ayam Percik ... mmmMMMMMmmmm ... I think I'll go again this weekend. Last Friday I had steamboat at 'Summer Steamboat' with some of my homecell members ... Jason, Jessica, Lucas, Sheal, Natashia and Jade. Well, it was a welcomed break from work. The marmite chicken there is awesome btw. We stayed until quite late :D Saturday night was my cousin's wedding. Can't believe he's married now. It was a rather modest wedding dinner at his home in Putra Heights. Getting there was really confusing ... I couldn't find my way home AND my sister is lousy at giving directions. My little 6 year old cousin came to bug me :D She was wearing a nice little 'diamond' ring ... so I asked her who gave it to her? Cheekily she wants me to marry her. Cute, but that didn't answer my question. Twenty years from now, she'll be damn embarrassed. Oh ... I WILL remember this. Yesterday night a bunch of people turned up at my house. Yeap. A bunch of people. The thing with my sister is ... she could had just mentioned to the rest of us that we are expecting guests ... but nooooooooooo. Very typical of my sister, I doubt that is ever gonna change. Anyways, I'm not complaining. Oh wait, it sounded like I was complaining hahaha ... we had a little impromptu mooncake festival gathering. I find it funny that at her age she's still into lighting up lanterns and all ... she AND a few other girls. I can't remember the last time I played with lanterns ... but it was good la ... occasionally having people in the house. A welcomed break from the everyday monotony. We spent the better part of the night watching CSI on AXN instead hahahahaa ... Did I ever mentioned that I love mooncakes? I really love those fancy flavoured ones :) I never liked mooncakes with yolks, but somehow now I do ... I think it has something to do with aging :P Jan called me really early in the morning today ... and I was quite malas to pick up the call as I was still in bed :D Then she called again while I was getting ready to leave for work ... oh yeah, I would return the call if there was a number and second, if calls to Amsterdam were cheap :P Anyways, I picked up the call and instantly recognize the sleepy voice. So, what's the big news I thought ... apparently she learned to play 'More than Words' on the guitar. I guess that's an accomplishment worthy of a long distance call :P Yeah ... that song, I remember that song :) It was our song afterall when we dated back in high school. She's a weird girl, but still a dear friend. Couldn't chat with her for long ... otherwise I'd be late for work. You know, I think I've been hurt without me realising it. I don't know if it's a blessing or I am numb. Often I try not to think so much about it, but things somehow finds it's way around you. I'll never understand some people, girls especially. Sometimes I'm just pissed at them, and yet at the same time, I pity them. I pity them because they don't know any better. I'm pissed at them because they never learn. Really now, what is the value of friendship nowadays? Gee ... some girls do suck :\ On a happier note, I'm gonna be the best man for XXXXXXX's wedding :D This means, I'll be the best man for 2 weddings next year! Yay! This is me being useful as a SINGLE, lol. Now, I need to make a one piece suit ... XXXXXXX suggested that I get it tailored made. I'll get right into it when I have the money ... making suits aren't cheap. I'm trying to tell myself that it's almost a lifetime investment :) But ... I find it hard to convince myself ... 0 comments Thursday, September 11, 2008
Poster grrr
[ 5:14 pm ] I need to come up with a poster next week. Kinda running out of ideas ... that's not very good isn't it? Especially when you're in the creative field. Kinda sucks that I'm the only one here ... I remember being able to bounce off ideas with Rachel when I was back in AYA. Over here ... hahaha I just do it over Skype instead :P Anyways, I think I roughly have a bit of an idea how the poster would look like, just hope that Mr. Boss will like it. Short post! :P 0 comments Friday, September 05, 2008
Cycle to McDonald
[ 4:36 pm ] I woke up this morning with a song in my head, it was only 2 lines ... and fairly original. You know what? I can't remember how it sounds like anymore. This reminds me, I need to pen my thoughts down the moment it's on my mind ... especially tunes. For the life of me, I can't remember the 2 lines and the melody ... I suppose things like this will somehow find its way back into me head :D I had a really random dream a nights ago! And here's a summary :) Someone asked me out for dinner and I went to meet this person on a bicycle ... all the way to Damansara. She suggested that we makan at this awesome place. I asked ... what awesome place? And she replied, McDonalds at XXX (I can't remember the name of the place) ... Then I said, well, I know a better McDonalds, it's in SS15. So, we both cycled to SS15. We got there just in time for dinner, and found ourselves a table. So I went to make my order while she waited at the table. While waiting in line, I bumped into a long time friend! I hastily made my order and proceeded to join him at his table. Before I knew it, it was almost closing time. Then it hit me, I forgotten something ... really important. I panicked and ran to the table where she was sitting. Gone. Not there anymore. Oh no ... what have I done? I ran to where we parked our bicycles and hers wasn't there. Great. I made a call to her handphone ... and the line was cut off ... probably pissed at me. I mean, hello, even I would be pissed. How can you abandon a person like that? Anyways, the called went through and yeah, she was pissed (hahaha ... it's funny when I think about it now). I did my best to explain the situation and all ... at any rate, that's where the dream ended. I think this dream is really random. For one, I don't abandon people. Second, I would had introduce my friend to her. Third, don't expect me to cycle all the way to Damansara :P Well, looking deeply into things now, it does bring a bit of issues on my side. I guess, this was how I felt, having gone through moments of awkwardness. Like for instance, you and your friend bump into their friends ... and they start chatting and all ... without introducing you. I think that's very rude. I've had that happened to me a lot of times back in my early 20s. I don't know if people are just not sensitive enough or they don't know what proper etiquette is. I make it a point to make introductions ... BECAUSE I know how it feels. There are times like when you're having dinner with a friend, and their friends showed up AND THEN decides to have dinner with us? Some people don't even bother making introductions. Yeah, sometimes I tend to be the snob ... and other times when things just aren't going anywhere, I'll just go, "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?". This reminded me of a situation a couple of years ago when Wern Shen and I had dinner at Bangsar Shopping Complex, we were expecting a few others to join us as well. Now, I've known him for donkey years already ... when it comes to social graces, let's just say, he has none (if you're reading this, you know that's true. Scold la! I'm not going to erase this :P). The girl that he kinda liked was gonna join us as well. Anyways, they came ... and no one was talking to her, not even him. So, I kinda sensed a little awkwardness in the air ... so I spent the better part of the night talking to her since he didn't want to. You know what I got out of that? Kena scolding from him wei! How's that for making a stranger feel comfortable? Jealousy ... pbbbth. Anyways, it is kinda funny after all these years when you think about it. Social graces ... there seem to be the lack of it nowadays. 0 comments Thursday, September 04, 2008
Van!
[ 1:02 pm ] Last Sunday there was a VW gathering at Summit. Imagine my excitement when I saw a few immaculate VW Vans parked!! I knew I had to check them out after church :D I snapped a few pictures with my iPhone. Yeah, they are vintage and really old school ... but they have a certain charm to it. I've always wanted the VW Van to be my wedding vehicle, painted in white and baby blue :D Big luxury cars are just too cliche for my liking ... but a VW Van decked out with the regular wedding frills, why not? I think it's actually sweet looking. Now, to meet a girl that shares the same sentiment hahahaha ... tough ... sigh. A few days ago Jack sent me a link of a Malaysian artist. Bo. What an ... interesting name ... Bo. Check out the fro man! Hahahaha ... Anyways, I gave it a visit, and was pretty much impressed with the quality of his work. It's no secret that I really love jazz, so this could be bias. You can visit his MySpace here Bo - Bedroom Sanctuary Apart from Mia Palencia, I guess I'm keeping a close eye on his projects :) Some of my favourite songs from his list are Cheers 2007, Bubbly Bucktooth Bunny and Her Spiral Necklace. Support Malaysian artist!! 0 comments Archives nothing |
