I hate this coming Thusday and Friday. everyone was so glad ot have a long weekend but to me, this will be my nightmare. My company is shifting this Thursday and Friday. I cant imagine with the files, equipment and furnitures, there will be lots of trouble and hassles. I was trying so hard to find a new job but it is not as easy as we keep mention it. It tooks me an hours to get all my stuffs ready in the box but having second though over samples in the sample rooms, files in the entire office, I just wish I can leave the company within 24 hours. This is really a nightmare. I was asked to be in the office for this entire weekend but I rejected it as I wasn't here to be slaved. Well, we will see how it goes this weekend.

23.04.2011 - Abort!

We were planning to have our trip to Langkawi today, unfortunately the most attractive venue; the cable car is not operational due to periodical scheduled maintenance. We in the thought of going despite knowing it is closed but having the second thought, we decided to postpone it; of course not next week as it is a public holiday for sure it will be packed and crowded. Although we know the trip will not be successful, we backpack and place it at the car boot in case we make a last minute call to go with it. Before we moved out, we stopped by the Cosway (direct selling agency) retail shop to grab some water filters. It is part of 2 years maintenance for the set I bought years ago. While I was paying for the filter, the retail owner alerted me that my cards were almost broken to 2 pieces and may not be functional. I was pretty shocked that time and quickily run through my wallet and discovered all of my credit cards were the same condition. It was caused by frequently bend and seated when placed behind my pants pocket. Luckily it is discovered now rather than later in Langkawi who knows it is no longer functional. So we straight decided to postpone the trip and headed straight to Penang just to waste our time shopping and to catch a movie. We thought of visiting Bukit Bendera; 1 of the attraction hill in Penang which neither 1 of us been there before. We were actually lost our way and headed to a different location. After turns and reverse, we finally found the place but unfortunately the Penang Hill's train is yet operational. It was a newly bought train from Germany (if I am not mistaken) and just completely assembled. According to the security guard, the train will commence operatoinal on 25.04.2011. Well, there is nothing much we can do except to drive away and start thinking our next destination. After number of mumble, we ended at 1 new shopping mall; Time Square. It sounds like very grand but when we reach the mall, to our surprise, it is like a dead mall! The number of shop is unbelievable while visitors / shoppers are lesser than my both hand fingers count. Since we already parked our car in there, we decided to have our tea time there with Swensen Ice Cream. Believe me we are the only customer they have! Anyway after we have our wonderful creamy tasty ice cream, we headed back to the mainland hoping for some other entertainment. We drop-by at the Megamall Pinang looking for a movie The Last Dragon. Not really entertaining though, it is more to like kids fairy tales; but the special effects is really impressive. There goes out Saturday. Nothing much gain except wasting money, time and of course my car fuel!

10.04.2011 - RM799??

I was searching around for the past few months for a TV in my room. While we were walking around in the supermarket, we hop in 1 of the electrical shop since there is an offer. Sony Bravia LCD 46' Full HD, cost around RM3800 and I can't stop myself looking at the set and start to dig my pocket for my credit card. I was in the plan to replace my living room LCD to a bigger 1 and place the old LCD in my room. Well, something comes to my mind and I backing off hoping somewhere else would gives me a better offer than the one I've seen here. So what I did was, I went back home, took a sleep and by late evening, we drove out for our dinner somewhere in Bagan Luar. After we finished our meal, we visited SEC, another electrical shop that offers varieties of LCD and LED TV. What really catch me is the LED TOSHIBA FULL HD 24', what is compact, clear, sharp and just nice size to fit in my room. With that price compared to the 46' TV at the cost of RM3800, I place my booking immediately and demanded a cash and carry. I draw some money from the nearest bank and cash out the TV without thinking twice. I believe that TV price will slash down again as times goes. Who know in another 6 months time 55' TV would cost only MYR3800? I think I still can wait for a while to replace my current LCD Bravia in my living room. Anyway I am glad that I can enjoy watching TV in my own room. Cool.

09.04.2011 - Movie Nite

It have being a while away from the theater. But I was a bit eager to catch the latest Jack Neo's Horr-medy which launched on 07.04.2011. I am glad this time as we are not alone watching movie but will be accompanied by my god brother Kin Kin and his GF. He is a boy mom looked after (baby-sit) since he was born. He is now a grown up boy and very filial to us. We went for a dinner that night, steamboat (lok lok) somewhere in Chai Leng Park and then catch up for that movie until 12 midnight. It was a perfect night after all. Just that their dressing is way too formal until it scares me to bring them to eat at the hawker stalls. Anyway, it is my great weekend after all.

09.04.2011 - Saturday Blue

My Saturday was suck initially. I woke up at late morning around 10am preparing my won breakfast and then sitting in front of laptop trying hard to finish my work that is left over a day before. By the time I look at my watch, it is already 3pm and my stomach begins to call for food. I cook instant noodle since there is nothing in the house. I planned to buy a loaf of bread but just because of being too busy thinking of something, I forgotten to drop by the nearest shop when I return home. After I finish my cooking, I notice the kitchen was slightly dusty and I just can't bear with the dirt and begin to clean up bit my bit. While I was cleaning, I was thinking of how to get my work finish before I able to catch my evening jog follow by late movie with my god brother and my GF. I was too busy thinking until I have forgotten the stove was still hot; and grab the stove round steel that support pots with my bare hand. Funny part is, I still hold it while before I throw it back on the original place. I quickly place my fingers under running tap water just to cold it off but it was too late. The burn was there and the pain was so unbearable. I call mom and sis hoping there are solutions to stop the pain but nothing much can be done. Well, nothing can stop me now from cleaning the whole house as I planned before jogging. It is like poking a needle onto your fingers none stop; that kind of pain that is unbearable till deep in my heart. I keep using ice cube to neutralize the pain and temperature of my fingers but it does not help at all. I mope , sweep and wipe the entire house and then went out for a jog before catching my shower.

06.04.2011 - Wonderful Night

Today was great! Despite having tough time in office, I manage to enjoy myself in the house with music followed by a touching retro movie broadcast from Channel 2. I was figuring out what can I do for today since I have hours to spend for myself. I keep turning TV channels 1 by 1 and discovered none of it would please me to watch. I was at the dining area where my 2nd TV was placed at and feeling of shifting to the living room to catch my DVD movie than keep on wasting my time tuning to channels that have nothing to watch. Before I make up my mind, I still with the remote control changing channels like no body business until I notice channel 2 is playing an old movie - Devil wears Prada. I do have the DVD too but thinking of digging it out, I decided to sit tight and enjoy a bit especially admiring Anne Hathaway's charming and cute little face. I was telling myself why should I spend my time watching an old movie where else I have plenty more new DVDs waiting for me to watch. With the laziness and feeling comfortable on the chair and the story plays, I finished that movie even with the annoying numerous advertisements from time to time. I just don't know how can I so patient with the local channel that comes with tonnes of advertisement. Anyway I again feel touched with that movie and now feeling lovely and relaxing. I wish to have that feeling everyday every night. So lovely story.

04.04.2011 - Work and Eat

I was summoned to be in Ipoh pottery factory today to conduct a security audit. Life in my company is not easy; I have to be the lead in the team, organize work for the team, come out with a strategy plan for the team, scheduling for the team members, maintain SOP, review team work and performing the team work as well. Hokkien says Bao Sua Bao Hai and yet my boss is asking me what I am doing everyday? If a boss understand and trust his/her sub, he/she will never ask this silly question! Anyway the trip was pretty stress. I enjoy driving in the morning and getting myself away from the desk work and of course my emails. I took a nice lunch with my buddy from Ipoh and resume my audit until 530pm. Before I headed home, I dropped by a food stall followed by enjoying my SPA in 1 of the cheapest SPA centre. By the time I reach home, I am drop dead tired and sleep like a pig. Imagine with all the tiredness and sleepless night a night before, I am do drop dead and enjoy the sleep without any disturbance. I wish everyday will be the same; away from the desk and away from all the trouble in office.

01.04.2011 - April Fool?

It is really a mess when both families is chasing after a marriage. I was in the mood to tie a knob with my girlfriend. When we started to plan and discuss things seems to change and I begin to think there is a lot aspect I need to consider before going into deeper. Marriage is not as simple as we thought off. It is not easy to live with someone you love or not loved that much for the entire life. I am not sure if the clashes are because of whom I am or we are not well known to each other. I started to realized that we do not understand that much yet and we both do not know what we want and what we do not want. Seriously, I am not sure if this is normal when things come to marriage. Moreover, is this usually what happens when come to the stage of planning for marriage? I hate to have the strange feel like keep asking myself; if she is the one I am looking for. I hate myself so much as I easily to get shaky when come to comparing and seeing something new. I never satisfy with what I have. I keep telling myself it is time to get it over and stay put with what I owned. But the question keep lingering in my mind if she is the one? I always says we have the same thought and we understand each other well but when it comes to marriage arrangement, I just realized we don’t know each other much. What I planned which was acknowledged by her in the beginning will end up something the other way round. I hate having wedding dinner especially going table to table to say thanks and cheers to relatives and friends. Be honest, I hate relatives and have less friend in life, except those close friend that worth keeping for. I just want something simple and gathering with few close family members. Since we in the plan to do it simple and modern practice I just hope she would take it and make it as simple as possible but things doesn’t seems to work as what I actually planned. I was told that I need to go to her house to beg and ask for their blessing for the marriage and to discuss on the marriage arrangement. Are we still in the old age culture? I know that I have to seek for their blessing but they need to be alerted that we want to have it as simple as possible but to my surprised, I was told that their family is expecting a dinner that involves everyone in the family. If I would to arrange such, I bet my mom would want to have her family member to participate in the dinner as well, just to be fair to both families. If so, that means I have to organize the damn wedding dinner that I do not wish to have in the beginning. Yes I am so frustrated and told her to organize the dinner herself since I am not interested in dinner. It was rejected by her and subsequently demanded to do it along with mine so that I would cover the damn cost! Taking advantage, I guess! Well, I am not going to get further on the discussion. I am freaking tired of all this shits. Honestly, I want to get thing fast settle down but looking on the trouble, I don’t mind be single for now and see what will happen next. I have enough headache and stress over work and life. I want to have simple and happy going life ahead.
