Life is wonderful. Only if it's view positively, that's of course.
Just like my previous posting, I kept on emphasizing that I had been fortunate to start my year with winning streaks. (Okay, I admit I'm really, really fortunate to win the RM3.5k travel voucher which has been redeemed for a trip for 2 in Bali. :P) Things can be viewed in either ways:
POSITIVE - Extra pocket money from winnings, even though it's only RM10. I'm happy for not losing.
NEGATIVE - Should've played with bigger amount. Can win more and then cover my 1 month expenses! Deng...
Why did I say that?
My car broke down again yesterday. Yes, AGAIN. Unfortunate? If I look at it as mentioned above, NOT really.
What happened?
I don't really know as the car is now at the workshop. After class yesterday, thought of going back straight to have late lunch in KL. Who knows, the moment I walked into the car, put my keys for ignition, the car wouldn't start! And so the car was towed from Subang Jaya to Ampang Jaya. Ther3fore, I attempted to look at things in another angle.
POSITIVE - I'll be going to Damai Laut in Lumut for holiday this weekend. It'll be unimagineable if my car goes dead there. I can foresee the cost of repairing then. Fortunately, it happened before that. Besides, this repair can save me from more breakdowns in the future (hopefully).
NEGATIVE - After a series of car break down and problems, it just can't stop giving me problems. More and more can give me headaches. Already burdened by education fees and monthly expenses, these incidental costs can make me go insane!
Now, the choice to live happily and think positively OR keep releasing stress hormones in the brain to drive self nuts?
Obviously, I want to live longer.
What's yours?
Unbelievably Me
Many people have been asking for the updates for the war that happened last weekend. Unfortunately, I've been tied up with one specific activity recently. That one activity that got me so hooked up to the computer instead of the books and magazines which I should've been reading.
Gaming is so addictive.
To be frank, I only play computer games once in a blue moon, serious. But I purchased FIFA 2008 and PM'08 which got me so addicted to them. They're both football games so that explains why I'm so hoooked up.
Till I really find a good time when I'm already sick with the game, you guys will see my war picture. (Just kidding!) I'll upload them when I'm in the office. The connection is better in the office. So sit back, relax and wait.
Cheers.

It'll Be War Soon
Yes, and it's sooner than everyone thinks.
Here I am, sipping a glass of whiskey while getting ready for war in 6 hours time. I'm also getting prepared for injury and of course, plenty of thrilling actions then.
It will be my first time stepping into the warzone. Will I ever pull it through?
But then, what pants am I gonna wear? Hmmm...No military pants. How ar?
I wonder.

Turning Point
Today's the last day of CNY. It's already the 15th day and man, each day jumped as fast as the Jumper (yes, I watched the movie last night, btw). Overall, it has been a positive indication of the year ahead. How do I know? All my attempts to 'fatt choy' this year have been successful ones. Total gains from this CNY, only from 'fatt choy' attempts have exceeded RM100 (What to expect? RM1, RM2 or RM5 per game...) Good one.
Been searching for prospect job offers nowadays, to further prepare myself for life after graduation. Will be going to UM's Career Path later in the afternoon to scout for potential employers. Organised by AIESEC in UM, Career Path is a 3-day employment fair participated by well-known companies such as Petronas, Deloitte, Maxis and etc.
Besides opting to only search for employment offers, being me, I have been looking out for business opportunities where I can venture into probably, after graduation. It may be too quick, but why not? I've plenty of time and I've almost nothing to lose. What's the harm of trying?
All I can think of, for now, is future. It's where my life turning point is for this year. But I'm sure of a good one ahead. At least I know it'll be a year where I'll travel a lot. Already 2 trips awaiting now, one local and one international, hehe. Really have to thank HP for giving me the opportunity to fly abroad.
More to come, I guess.
Cheers.

Kick-Off Affairs
To be frank, HP Kick-Off 2008 @ One World Hotel, themed 'A Night of Jazz', was the earliest dinner event I've ever attended. The registration started at 5.30pm! Attended by about 1.5k employees in the organisation, the hall was so huge, I couldn't even dare to enter and search by my own and I waited for my colleagues to arrive so they could lead me to the 'right' places.
The food was good indeed (the menu was all about Portobello mushrooms, akaka) as what some of my friends had told me about before who had prior event at the venue. Kick-Off was further graced by 2 great hosts/emcees namely a jokingly cute guy with a great voice, Melvin (co-incidently who has the same name as mine, but different surname) and Serena C, well-known celebrity (program host and Mix FM DJ).
Two hosts of the event - Melvin and Serena C
The appetizer....And first performance by Joanne Yeoh who plays great songs through her awesome blue violin.
Joanne Yeoh, introducing herself and her title before each song
The gorgeously Joanne Yeoh, impressing the crowd with one of her favourite plays
The soup - Mushroom
After the performance by Joanne, it was game time for the crowd. We had to choose one of the lucky guys from the table to be totally made over. Ralph was the chosen one of our table. What happened was shown in the pictures below:
Theng Theng began the make-over process
Ralph, after the make-over...
Unfortunately, when Melvin began selecting the top 10 best looking 'transformed' men of the evening, our Ralph was not one of them. Tough luck! The chosen ones are shown below:

The Main Course...
The dessert... ice cream, yum yum.
Shing Yee, Fund Fund and I
A snapshot with Melvin and Serena C
Best dressed male and female of the night.
Next, it was Adibah Noor, the famous Malaysian comedian and singer. She was too good to be described and she just melted our hearts away with her voice serenading a couple of popular jazz titles.
Adibah Noor with her captivating performance
Fund Fund in one of the games of the evening. She was actually attempting to draw an alphabet with her...erm, back, lol.
Then, it was another performance from our great Malaysian singer, the Malaysian Idol and Asian Idol, Jacquline Victor!
Jacq in one of her singing acts.
Manage to catch Jacq for a snapshot while she's performing (when she walked towards my strategic table, lol)
Justine, participating in the final game of the evening where she did pole-dancing on Melvin.
Caught her in another position. Basically, she was like running around Melvin like a merry-go-round, haha.
Me, posing with my lucky number, 1136.
Basically, I was waiting anxiously for my lucky number to be drawn by the computer which was shown on the screen at both sides of the main stage since they started drawing in the 1st round. There was 3 rounds of lucky draw and a total of 160 prizes to be given away which include Nintendo Wiis, I-Pods, PSPs, Sony Ericsson mobiles, iPaQs, surround system, 42-inch LCD TVs and the grand price, 47-inch (LCD/Plasma?) TV.
Just when I thought it was almost the end for me when many numbes had been drawn in the final round of the lucky draw, out of nowhere, my number popped up in the screen for one of the prizes which is worth about RM3K. Unbelievable...
Shen, who made the night happen for everyone and I
Fund Fund and I posed for a picture before leaving
Ralph and I
Justine and I
Last shot before heading off, TJ and I
Overall, the event was no doubt, a success. It was the first annual company event I've ever joined and most of all, I have to thank Shen for involving me in the event and HP for the wonderful lucky draw prize. Bravo!
Cheers.
Farewell to Lucky Couple
Since Lucky Girl and Lucky Guy will be leaving for Australia this coming weekend, the TBS gang had organised an outing, some sort like farewell dinner last Tuesday in Sunway Pyramid. We had Ichiban Ramen (among all restaurants... :), and man, I didn't know food there was so expensive. I mean...quite expensive.
Below are some of the pics taken after the dinner with the CNY decoration at the old wing.
The gang family photo.
What was this? Lucky guy was proposing with the giant flower but Lucky Girl wasn't that impressed... I wonder why? Akaka.
5 girls... and a guy, me? Tak tau mana sesat mari.
The girls who were present for the night.
Wei Wei (looks up to the sky): OMG! I'm gonna miss the Lucky couple.
Yasmin: Scuse me... U covered my pretty face le.
SH: I'm tired of layaning these ppl. Luckily I'm heading off soon.
The rest: Got a cute guy over there la! Looked like Mel! (Jk, hehe)
Cheers.
Happy Valentine's Day
First of all, it's 14th February today and of course, as everybody knows, it's Valentine's Day.
All these while Valentine's Day was celebrated as special days when love is expressed extravagantly as compared to normal days. And this year, I made a special initiative to know about this day better (Although I thought I knew something about this day since I was younger...Hmm.)
So, how did a tale of a Saint being executed during the Roman Empire...
Became a special day for lovers?
(Pictures courtesy from Wikipedia)
Therefore, I googled for the history and below was what I've found:
"One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. (History.com)"
I see, but how does it relate to the romance of Valentine's Day? And I looked further.
"Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France. (History.com)"
Well, at least above excerption seem to make a point why Valentine was celebrated. There was more.
Excerpt above was picked from History.com.
Well, above seem more realistic. However, in the end, the idea of Valentine's Day for couples to be romantic towards each other has undoubtedly offers opportunities for problematic couples to make peace with each other, singles to grow more envy towards the attached (but only for the day la...), and provide the gift and floral business operators to make more income on this one day.
All in all, everybody's happy and glad that this day has happened when love and peace can really be felt in the whole world.
China
India
Among the rocks...?
Wah! Well trained from young!!
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone and cheers.
Type...type

More Than Bread and Butter
We don't need a research to tell us how important the economy is to the people than the politics. Dong...
Referring to the article 'Bread and butter matters' in The Star today, it was mentioned that economic situation is the prime concern of voters now. That's without a doubt, of course. Let's talk from my point of view. For myself, I've almost given hope to what the local government can do to make better changes as what I can see, the initiatives going on now resemble gimmicks of the pre-electoral drama to show that the BN is there for the people. And also propaganda to overshadow the oppositions (I'm not saying that the oppositions will do a better job...). Afterall, it's a strategy to win hearts of the people. However, in most cases, it stops there, after the election.
I don't have to look far. For instance, my housing area. Pot holes are everywhere on the road. It has been ages since I-don't-know-when. What happened to the local government? Where're the BN promises to serve the best to the people and all taxpayers? Just recently that they fixed the road, but guess what, it is only where the 'bumiputras' are staying. Can you believe it... it was so obvious that the road stretch were fixed only in front of the Umno office and after that, holes are damaging the wheels of many who stayed down the road where most are non-Bumis. I didn't know the government is this fair... How do they expect us to put any trust on them?
What I'm trying to say here is that I don't give a damn about the politics in the country. Let these 'people' do what they want regardless whether they meet their promises or not. They've already upset me by making my life difficult to register to vote. Now that I see unfulfilled promises and dramas by 'these people', all I care is whether the world offers any hope. Therefore, I only look at the other side of what happening in the world and hope for the best. If the economy is good, I believe everyone is happy regardless who is on top. But if the economy is haywired, we know 'who' to be blamed. I wish they don't screw up, hopefully. To be honest, I love my country, I love being Malaysian. And I don't wish for my beloved country to be messed up by those b*st*rds who're so damn good in acting and pocketing millions of ringgit and hope that they can escape from it unnoticed. 'Pocketing' activities are a great nuissance to the economy and many of the activities can definitely halt the flow of economy. 'Bocor' and 'overpriced' nonsenses in govt projects.... you know who you are.
Just when you about to forget, remember our beloved DZ and his palace in Klang? Being in UMNO and councillor is like being on a feasting table, huh? At least that's what he thought till he got busted.
And also if the govt close 1 eye in the illegal immigrants issue, they've without a doubt, created avenue for more crimes in Malaysia. That, a 7-year-old could tell you why...
Gotta sign off as Christine is waiting for me to pick her up from work. Meeting SH and the gang for dinner in Sunway later.
Btw I've hit a new typing speed record again...

Live From Office (Ep. IV)
5th day of Lunar New Year had passed me by.
Woke up early in the morning to send Christine to work and then back home to sleep again. Been staying at home and all I was facing were screens. Both TV and notebook screens. It's in fact, the best rest I ever had since the 1st day of CNY. Hehe.
Enough rest by late afternoon, went to pick Christine up from her office and headed to 1 Utama for a movie. And at last, I've watched Jay's Kung Fu Dunk, the cantonese version. And guess what, something happened which was unbelievable to happen to GSC. It was my 1st time experiencing a delay which was more than 20 minutes before the advertisement started. Yes, advertisement and not the movie itself. Movie was scheduled at 7.30pm but the view on the screen was only lit up at about 7.50pm. However, it was worth a wait as the movie was good (humorous despite the exaggerated actions). Recommendation: A SHOULD WATCH MOVIE FOR A GOOD LAUGH AND KIND-OF-EXAGGERATED BASKETBALL ACTIONS.
Nothing much after movie. Headed straight home and slept as work commences the next day.
Today, now, at this moment, on the 6th day of the Lunar New Year, I'm back in the office. Working and on half day, fortunately. Call volume is pretty okay, manageable.
Guess what, I'm typing faster in the office. Yes! It's all about the keyboard. Dum..dum..
68 words Cheers.

CNY Day IV
It was 4th day of Lunar New Year.
Woke up early in the morning to go to Serdang for dim sum breakfast with HY before heading to the airport to pick Christine up who came back from Sabah for the new year. We were done with breakfast by 10am and that Christine was reaching about 11am, I'd decided to go to HY's place to surf the net to spend some time while waiting and guess what, I was typing all the time to break my previous record of 65 words per minute. And HY without sweat, could easily reach 70 words per minute... which I thought, was so unlikely as she has a face that acts blur. Now I know.
WHEN I was leaving HY's house at about 10.45am, I received a call from Christine and she told me she was already at the airport! Rushed out from Serdang through Equine Park and followed the way through Putrajaya to Sepang. I thought I was lost when I saw nothing assembles any highways on the road I was traveling. But how was I to know, I was on the right way to the airport and I didn't pass any single toll booth at all!
For once I knew I'm gonna put no money into Samy Vellu's pocket when traveling to the airport.
Followed the same road back to KL (Lol), and headed to Bkt Bintang to meet my family for Karaoke session in Green Box.
GREEN BOX, SG WANG, 10 February 2008 - Video loading was really, really, really slow but the speed they took to close our session was really, really, really fast which really, really, really pissed me off. Sesssion was supposed to be from 12pm until 3pm but they stopped playing the music videos ------ sharp ------- 2.55pm. I was really put off and back in the room, I really thought of summoning the manager to talk to me but since it's a CNY, I better leave my breath to call out for a black jack later when I'm back to the playing table.
Watching movie was next in the program list of the day and guess which movie that I was supposed to go for....
After the movie, I was wondering --- does the movie come with a climax btw?
Finally, the day was wrapped up with pailin trip to JonVu's place and then to dinner, er... supper, for the rest.
Not bad a day.
Cheers.

Ex-SABians CNY Day Out
The 3rd day of the Lunar New Year has past at the speed of light, which generally agreed by many that fun times past sooner than you think.
Fun day indeed. The day started with a wake up call from PM to go to Jono's place to pailin. It was about 10.15am when I heard the phone rang. Last minute call, I guess - I was always the forgotten one. Anyway, it was all about the ex-SABians gathering for the day.
And guess what, ehem... playing cards*...ehem, in every house that was visited. It started with (for me... and not the rest...) Jono's, Jacinth's, PM's, Matt's (which I never made it as I've promised my family to be there at my uncle's place) and LY's (where I caught up with the gang after showing up my face to the dearest family members).
Jono's place with the ex-SABians...
Another shot of the ex-SABians in Jacinth's place...
Had Siamese food for dinner near LY's place before heading to Tmn Connaught to have a couple of pool games and a game of Foosball(?), which I'm really suck in it. Ended the outing of the day with yamcha session in Oldtown Cheras with apparently, another group of friends.
Fun fun fun indeed.
Cheers.

Bora Ombak @ Ampang
It's 2nd day of the Lunar New Year, but almost rotting at home until 10pm when I received a call from JonVu to meet at Bora Ombak in Ampang (Beside Sports Planet Ampang). Met with Big Sis from UK (Ulu Klang), the gang and some chicas from Ampang too. Bora Ombak is a fusion of Balinese cafe concept and it's a nice place to chill out with a bunch of buddies and chicas. A romantic place for couples too.
We were there until 1am when the males decided to call it off when suggested followed chill-out destination - bars are not opened and that it's also too go to any. I only have one shot for the night on the location which shows the unwanted faces of the hunks who were present just now.

We were there until 1am when the males decided to call it off when suggested followed chill-out destination - bars are not opened and that it's also too go to any. I only have one shot for the night on the location which shows the unwanted faces of the hunks who were present just now.

Happy Chinese New Year - Live From Office (Ep. III)
CNY is fast approaching. Will be having reunion dinner tonight in my grandma's place near my house. Probably most of us have already gone back to hometown to catch up with family members. Half day at the office today and already at 9.30am, received a call from Oscar to go out for drink after work with PM. Wanted to go to gym initially after work, but tak jadi la...
Woke up late today as I slept late last night as a result of "21ing" until 1.00am in Station 1, Tmn Pertama. Fortunately, the traffic was so smooth this morning that I could cruise at 100km/h at peak hour of a working day! Reached the office, turned on the computer and logging on to the internet to watch CNY videos in the office as call volume is low today.
One of them is the interesting one below:
Lastly, for those who're going back to hometown, have a safe journey home and all in all, have a prosperous CNY and Gong Xi Fa Chai!
I had my Fa Chai share last night, what about you? Lol.
Cheers.

I Want My Right
I'm a Malaysian and I deserved my right to vote. I've initiated, and yet I was told off, indirectly?
As I went to the post office in 1 Utama yesterday, I was told that they've run out of SPR forms for registration of voters. Instead of telling me where I can get the forms, the Malay lady at the counter told me that most of the post offices have run out of form and afterall, it took 3 months to be registered into the database.
Which means what? I don't get to vote even the Government has not announced the offcial election date yet?
3 months for processing registration of voters? Where's the efficiency of the system. Already the Election Commission made life difficult for not going 'online', again, out of forms are seriously a funny and weird thing to happen? I would've thought they have the statistics in their mind and running out of forms agenda only happens in a poor or primary school activity planning. Shame on the Maths or they just don't care, or there's an agenda behind it. I'm thinking whether I should wear a Barisan Nasional t-shirt or bandana and announce in any BN offices that I haven't registered for voting. Would they get my name on the list in 2 weeks time?
"Efficient and transparent"?
Thanks a lot FOR the trouble, Mr Abd Rashid.

Revival of Once Great?
Now that I've registered a new 016 line which is believed to be more cost effective than the 012, I've been seeking for the revival of the once elegant machine which has been lying low in the drawer in my room for years now.
My new 016 will be sitting in the newer K800i while my 012 will be downgraded to a prepaid package and sitting in the classic machine. But first of all, got to get it fixed as the housing of the phone is badly damaged. What concerns me is that whether the housing is still available in the country now...
