Woot!
What a great weekend I've had!
First up on saturday, after picking up a friend from LCCT, it was seafood for dinner at Lala- Chong (go google it folks) where they serve a darn good butter crab (the kind with lotsa butter sauce) and fried mantou to boot! Their salted egg crab was quite a joy as well, although a fair bit pricey. No wait, actually damn pricey. I wouldn't mind too much about paying a few bucks more for the crab, but the other stuff like veg n tofu was a few bucks more than your average prices.
But one must never complain when in the presence of butter crab and fried mantou.
Sin incarnated never tasted this good!
But a little downside to it all was my runny nose.I think I am a little sick and this is confirmed the next day when I wake up.
After the dinner, went to enjoy Starbucks for a bit near my friend's place. Seeing as this is probably the last time I'll get to enjoy the American Express 1-for-1 offer, might as well eh?
Sunday I am up and feeling lethargic and all runny nose as well.
But that doesn't stop me from enjoying some Sunday futsal!wooohoooo!
and after that,Mahjong time with my buddies which just finished not too long ago.
Won me a little cash, but doing so under the effects of a runny nose and a fair amount of cold-sweating.I've popped a couple of panadols, and I am going to sleep in the next 10 minutes!
Currently listening to:
The marriage of pop + rap is always one of my favourite genres
Gym Class Heroes feat. Adam Levine - Stereo Hearts
This is awesome for so many reasons that it's pretty damn hard to explain.
It's one of those songs that you just like coz the rhythm and lyrics just hit the right note with you.
Tinie Tempah feat. Eric Turner
A newcomer to the rap music scene. and he ain't American!
all the way across the Atlantic, this guy hails from the UK and he's got some mean lyrics and great support from Eric Turner as the chorus vocalist.
Eminem feat. Pink - Won't Back Down
Just badass!ahahahaha!

A Dream of World's End
Wow,
my dreams have just been upgraded into an epic blockbuster movie.
Hollywood,here's one to chew on!
This dream starts off with me rushing to the premiere of a movie, running through several flights of stairs, and passing by a troupe of young men in green-ish costumes (whom I thought would be part of the entertainment for the premiere)
No problems there, though their body language seemed to tell they were uneasy.Must be the butterflies in the stomach.
So I make it to the premiere, and I seem to see a number of familiar faces,primary/secondary school friends littered around.
So, the movie begins (rather vague here)
However what happens next is that the cinema is shaking and when that happens, you just get your ass outta the cinema into open ground.
Now the beauty is that the cinema exit opens out to the ground floor and upon exit, shit really starts to hit the fan. There's a guy screaming "it's the rapture!don't move and you won't be hurt!!!"
Now the beauty is that the cinema exit opens out to the ground floor and upon exit, shit really starts to hit the fan. There's a guy screaming "it's the rapture!don't move and you won't be hurt!!!"
Beside the cinema, is the same flight of stairs I ran up earlier and I can see green costumed dangling feet, and a couple more joining this most gruesome scene. Have the boys hung themselves?most likely
As I glanced towards the green-costumed boys, bursting out of the road, not too far from where I was standing, was a threatening kinda robot and a massive amount of four-legged, dog-sized creatures, whom at best I can describe as leafy brown caterpillars on four legs.
Now these creatures and the robots didn't exactly attack immediately, and the leafy brown caterpillars walked kinda slow.But I didn't stick around to find out if they could do damage or not.
I hightailed it outta there, leaving all the screaming and wailing behind me (and the rapture-yelling guy)

Now I get a flashback, and I'm in sort of a camp-like location, with a few of my secondary schoolmates playing with the campfire. I am given a gift of a pair of lime-green nike presto shoes (remember those?) for what I presume is my birthday. The next thing I know is that my friend's playing with the campfire are pointing some fireworks at me, the kind that shoot out small flaming balls of fire. Naturally I'm off running in my new nike shoes while my friends start shooting out those flaming balls at me, to which I manage to stop and catch a few of those balls and throw it back their way.
Back to present.
I'm running away from the robots and the caterpillar-dogs. down a slope, and as I reached the bottom of the very cracked road (think when invasions happen, everything just gets destroyed) my shoe(can't recall left or right) gets stuck in a crack and comes off my foot. I am wearing white socks by the way.
But I keep on running, and suddenly a wave of water comes and makes a river out of the road I was on. I manage to make it to higher ground, but there goes my shoe. Submerged in the water and possibly swept away by the newly formed river. To which I lament the fact that that shoe was a very important/sentimental gift for me, and vowed to recover it.

The Search and back with WTF thrown in for good mix
It is a long, hard search and I often come up empty handed in my search to recover my lost shoe. The surroundings are abandoned, destroyed buildings in the city. Imagine Will Smith's I Am Legend, or other post-apocalyptic movies out there and you'll get what I mean.
But of course,gotta keep the story going.
But of course,gotta keep the story going.
It seems that my search for my missing shoe is in vain, and after a non-specific time-frame, I find myself back at the cinema where this all started.
There is life in the cinema, and I find it has been converted into a survivor camp of sorts.
The majority of the population seem to be female. Why is this?
Perhaps it has something to do with a certain exit from the cinema, whom the ladies tell me only females can exit. There is a rumour that the exit is cursed.Any male attempting to use the exit will mysteriously die (with their head blown off for good measure)

Well, that's all ballyhoo for this brave adventurer isn't it?and I have a friend who's as brave as I.
Both of us walk the stairs to the exit, into the brilliant sunlight and as we cross the divide, what do we see?
There's a rather large outdoor pub full of life, laughter and merry-making (I am seriously not making this shit up) So this is where all the guys go, and why the ladies in the cinema have created the "curse of the exit". This is to refrain the young men from leaving the cinema to join the ranks of sleazy men in the pub.

A Tragic Ending
As me and my friend walk towards the pub, excited to hit the pub. My friend suddenly collapses with a certain medical condition(I am guessing he's having a heart attac) and I couldn't do much. As he lays on the road, he thanks me for being a good friend and hopes I enjoy my life.
To this, my dream now ends, as I hear an incessant beeping. Yeap, the alarm clock sounds.

Now, you are definitely thinking. WTF is this dude smoking??
I assure you I don't smoke any substance at all. However, this dream comes after I have had an excellent time partying with my colleagues at a milestone celebration party thing at Zouk Club. I had 3 glasses of wine. I did a little pole-dancing, I did a little normal dancing. All in all,everyone had a great time.So perhaps,the wine is doing much to drive my little dreamworld here.

I do sign-off today's post with a big "what the hell am I dreaming about"
I am as confused as you are.Trust me on this one.And quite recently that all these dreams have been occurring. I damn well hope it isn't work-related hidden stress. Coz if it is...I may have to re-evaluate myself...ahahaha

The dreams continue
Well,dagnabbit
This time in dreamland, I am whisked away to the land Down Under in a place that I assume is Sydney
Why is that?
Well, this time I am going to play volleyball with my friends from University of Tech, Sydney.
We will be having a match against some other dudes.
I seriously had some great camera panning action in my dream, from a floor-up sweep across our team who were in a line.
And a zoom out view of where we were playing. An outdoor volleyball court in a park which looked quite like one in Sydney.
got some shots of folks spikin the ball from the side,top of the net.

Anyhow..seems in this dream I have not arrived yet at the venue for the game.
there I am rushing up some stairs(from the train station I presume) to get to the park with some grocery bags and with my wallet and handphone in the bags.
I reach the top of the stairs and before I leave the stairs, I put down my groceries for some reason and walk out to check if I'm at the right station.
When I get back, *boom* the grocery bags are gone and I have lost my wallet and hp.yippie ky-aye

Scene change.It seems I'm in a hotel (it's got some old-school decor and there's the concierge guy with white gloves and a suit. There's the old school analog phone too)
Now I'm using the phone to call the American Express to report my stolen credit card and to get a replacement one.However,it seems that I am having trouble with the customer service rep...uh oh.
after this, I can't remember much..and I have the feeling that I'm floating in and out of the dream, like I am half awake while dreaming this dream.

and tadaaa,I'm awake!
It seems the 2nd part of the dream,where I am in a hotel has something to do with the Amex Platinum Dining Deals at Shangri-la(expired 30th June, and my bosses are calling me about the renewal.to which it will be sorted on Monday..phew.Yes,more work-related dreams)
But the 1st part of the dream.
Wtf man....

Asian Girl with long black hair
I will have one in my movie.
not involved as a character
but always in the background
won't be able to see her face
she's just there.

Everyday I'm dreaming
Ok....I'm a little concerned here.
I am beginning to notice that I am having a dream almost every day since last week.
Must be coz when I am still dreaming and half-awake stage(you know,when your dream gets interrupted by the damn alarm or sunlight), I realise I can remember a fair bit of the dream.
Well,last night I had a 2 part dream..sort of.
The first part consisted of me playing some golf on a course, and finding golf not too easy at all.
Perhaps it's coz I was using just an iron for all my shots, with a jet black club-head and shaft (I thought it looked real cool in my dream)
Naturally, I struggled with my game, and of course as a gentleman of the game, you let other golfers who've caught up pass you by while you slowly make your way to the green.
Mind you, the chaps that passed me were quite courteous.No condescending remarks at all.
Just a "thank you" and walk by.
This thing about this dream is that I could really feel the weight of the iron and the action of swinging the club and connecting with the ball to land it near the pin. Very real dreams indeed.
The 2nd part is a little more vague.
perhaps not much mention needed...but what happened is this:
Scene: Bunch of people gathered around a desk, with a whiteboard behind it. Now this whiteboard will show you your numbers and who you will be rooming with (for what I don't know)
Guess who I got?
NICKI MINAJ! ahahahahah!
Now I attribute this to the fact that I was viewing her videos on youtube an hour or so before sleeping.
So definitely, my recent memories have been included in my dreamworld.
Fascinating stuff isn't it?
Any dreams you've had lately folks?

dlogs (like, for Dream Blogs yo)
what better way to start posting again than to have an online archive of the weird crap that happens when the eyes close and the mind starts going into fantasyland
This is one from the night of the 26th I think
I dreamt that I was in highschool and recess time is almost over (hitting 2pm), but I haven't eaten yet.
so are 2 of my classmates. But one of them says, "nah, let's just go eat. If they catch us, then we'll say we're sorry lor"
So there we were off to recess.
I went to the store that sorta sells the "yong tau foo" kinda stuff.
and boy did I take my time selecting my stuff.very indecisive then
finally when I did get my food, I went over to where my friends were sitting. They were already digging into a bowl of curry laksa each.
The End
This is one from the night of the 28th
so yday I dreamt I was at a pals wedding at some place, and I was commenting that no one's after me. then the person I was speaking to at my table mentions there's someone eager to talk to me and points left. To which a cute girl is there looking like she's bursting to tell me something. So when I chatted with her,suddenly I'm taking her flying ala Peter Pan style.
seriously....anyone good at deciphering dreams?
This is the night of the 29th
so yesterday, I had a completely random dream again
but I can't remember much
Involved my sis n I running through abandoned terrain to our car, parked in a multi-level car-park..to put money into the damn parking meter.
We were just outta time by the time we reached our car.
like, literally just meters away, the damned thing started blinking *countdown to 4:02..4:01..4:00(starts blinking)*
care to explain folks?
let's see what I come up with tonight!

I'm stoked!
I'm so stoked!
It's a Friday night and i'm sitting here buzzing in anticipation for an early Saturday morning (8.30am arrival on site no less)
I will be joining in a trial run of a "Business Continuity Plan", the contingency plan for big organizations when shit hits the fan in the main office. You have a backup office so that most if not at least core functions of the business can keep on running at an alternate site.
I'm so excited I'm so excited!
LIKE HELL I AM!
FARKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
it's my FRIDAYYYYYY
I wanna sleep in on a bloody SATURDAYYY!
but nooooo!
I have to wake up at least at bloody 7.30am to attend this crap that probably will never ever end up being utilized!
I mean,come on,I really don't see terrorists jackin an airasia plane and making a beeline for my headquarters, or on a smaller scale, a fire outbreak over the weekend coz of faulty wiring/short circuits.
oh,wait, that kinda thing sorta did happen to me before.
When I was in Form 1, Secondary school, my block got burnt coz the library air con short circuited overnight.
Can you say FREE HOLIDAY?
YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!
but then,the school displayed unbeknown efficiency to get the kids back into school (likely so we don't fill our time at the shopping malls, mixing up with the wrong crowd, running drugs, running pimping business, weapons and in general, contributing to the moral decline of the nation.
Damn the one time you'd curse one's schools' efficiency it turns out to be just a day or 2 of getting alternate classrooms set up for us First Formers.
sorry folks,just venting a lil'
tell u more tmrw after I drag my soul through a saturday morning.

pow pow!
O M F G !
I'll cut a long story short
I went frickin gun shooting on sunday!
a real gun!
a glock 19! I feel like a terrorist with 800 bucks starting money right now!(that's a counter-strike reference btw)
and feel real badass now. and when a van cut off my sis on the way to dinner with me parents,our car (me,sis and her bf) were like "yo,you wanna mess with us?we just busted a few rounds back there. U wanna go man?, go show em' your way accurate shooting gea!)
my sis, btw,kicked our asses at shooting.pretty much kept everything around the middle of the target.
but the instructor told us that females are proven to be better shooters.so she had a genetic advantage.pffff
i did alright i guess.but it got tiring in the end, and i can't describe to you guys the adrenaline rush that comes with holding a frickin gun and popping off a few rounds!
that shit in movies, where the hero just unloads his pistol like it ain't nothing?
BULLSHIT
the recoil is bad enough for you to not aim that well.
and our instructor said that dual weilding usually ends up with you pulling the trigger on both guns at the same time (thought you'd go all alternating fire with each gun ala counterstrike dual berettas right?not happening. it's something most humans have. i think it's called something like pairing motor reflexes or some shit like that.i know i go the name wrong. can someone tell me what is it?)
Why is it good to know?
well,don't dig your nose with one hand and hold the gun with finger on trigger in the other.shit WILL happen.
here's something to do
go google the 4 universal rules of handling a gun.
and you can even see it in a frickin magic trick here!

Friday Night Lights,GPS and Handheld puppets
Today I'd like to have a go at 2 completely separate subjects that have completely nothing to do with each other.
Friday Night
Met up with my ex-colleagues last week to celebrate the much belated house warming of Jo's spanking new house in a not-so-spanking-new neighbourhood.
Where is it?Good ol' SS2 near the Taman Sea School.
Of course,Friday's are the best time to do a bbq for ones' housewarming,but boy,did I have a bit of a bothersome Friday. Lately,it seems that doodoo has been happening on a Friday, but that did not deter me from pulling through to evening to finally embark on the adventure that is "Find Jo's House"
Ok,so my knowledge of PJ ain't the best, and frankly, it has been QUITE a while since I have used the LDP or even ventured into SS2, apart from one time I think this year where I went to the Fatty Crab(which,if u ask me,is kinda "meh". I have tasted better at lower prices.but that is another story altogether)
So I pick up jolly Farizzah from Dataran Maybank in Bangsar, and head on off towards SS2, where I was DAMN sure you take the non-TTDI tollbooth on the Sprint highway.Yeah, I nailed that bit
But then..this is when problems started.
To put the story short, we got lost(well,I kinda thought that the Taman Bahagia Station was AFTER Kelana Jaya.Guess I was wrong.Sorry Farizzah)
I need a GPS
We arrived about an hour and a half late.
But no worries, I brought JAEGERMEISTER and REDBULL!WOOTTTT!
Unfortunately...my ex colleagues never shared a shred of my enthusiasm.sigh....
I am now left with 5 cans of Redbull and 1 nearly full bottle of Jaegermeister
BBQ verdict:
self toasted garlic bread is awesome
not everyone eats chicken wings (It is against my beliefs and my religion.someone ask me what my religion is)
we'll have pizza and sandwiches next bbq(perhaps at Peter's?)
don't bring Jaegermeister and Redbull
and on a seperate note
Have any of you lot played with hand puppets before?
You know, those which you could DIY with a sock, some sewing materials, buttons and whatnot, or to the more elaborate off-the-shelf store bought ones.
I did play with a couple of them when I was a kid. A koala and a wombat. guess where they came from?
Anyhoo, my mom was showing me a new hand puppet she bought from her travels from somewhere. It was a frog that could be turned inside out when you kiss it to becomee....a Prince!
Technology these days.
And my mom had to end her presentation with, "would you like to stick your hand up the Prince's arse?"
Her words, not mine:)
Long live the handheld puppets

And my mom had to end her presentation with, "would you like to stick your hand up the Prince's arse?"
Her words, not mine:)
Long live the handheld puppets

Halloween Trickin and Treating oh yeah!
Woots Halloween!Zouk Club KL!
Halloween at Zouk for a bit of work related stuff(yeap,American Express supported the good ol' Halloween bash at Zouk Club yesterday, and boy did people turn out in droves!
when it started getting packed,it REALLY GOT PACKED!
around peak time, at say 11,the lines were pretty messed up,and the bouncers were kinda stressed.
Thanks to those idiots who just wanna go in first coz they on guestlists and stuff. Line The Fuck UP!
Bumped into some familiar faces which I haven't seen in ages (and a few since high-school)
After alot of getting friends and cardmembers in(i was working,remember) it was time to finally have some fun!
To ARISTO!
I had me my first Jaeger Bomb (spelling?) and lets just say I found it pretty awesome.
I think I would suggest this at all parties (bbq's house-warmings etc) from now on. In fact......this Friday...there's a house-warming coming up...
After 2 jaegers and a vodka lime in Aristo, lotsa smack talking with friends and colleagues (yeap,the same faggots I see for 5 days a week, I manage to see for a 6th day in a week.Fark)
it was time to hit the dance floor in Velvet!
By the way, Aristo is pretty quiet. Guess they're gonna do something about it to get more people in.
To VELVET UNDERGROUND!
Anyhoo,Velvet was SO DAMN PACKED!
Reminds me of the dance floors of the Malaysian Nights I went to back in Sydney (those were pretty awesome. after a couple of shots of whatever, you really start buzzing and your feet and hands get light and you can really rock the music. at least, that's what I think I was doing)
Back to Velvet, joined Azzy's friends on the dance floor, but didn't get to do much dancing. After say 20 mins and a bit of moving in one spot (and getting shoved by some big jerk who kept backing into me,ASS!) boy was I thirsty! so me and Eugene goes out to get a drink at Terrace Bar
Mana tau...the place is packed enough for the bouncers to tell us, if u go out, I don't think u coming back in son
Crap..
So back to Velvet and got ourselves a beer each (damn barman didn't give me back my change. may you be infested with a thousand flies and get stomped on by a random passing by camel)
Now I think that beer pushed me a bit over the top coz I was swaying a little when I walked, and after an unsuccessful search for Azzy and her friend's, FUCK IT(by Eamon) outside for some fresh air.
From that point on,it was pretty much no more back into the club,and I just spent my time chillin outside catching up with some old familiar faces and some new ones.You do tend to meet quite a few acquaintances at big social bashes such as this.
To TERRACE BAR!(and the petering down of the night)
Since I ain't going back to the club, just sobered up at Terrace Bar with Eugene and a new friend, Mu(i think that's how her nickname was spelled) while waiting for Azzy and her friend's to finish up.
In the end, only when the club signalled the end of the night (when the lights come on) did we start to go home and that was around 4am already methinks.
To Home!
by the time I i dropped Eugene off after some good ol' supper and drove my ass home and took a shower..it was frickin 6ish already!i think it was the break of dawn by the time i closed my eyelids...phew!
The Aftermath
I properly awoke at 4pm.
But not before another faggoty colleague (Nicholas Chan Thiam Hock)who didn't join the party gave me a wake up call at 12.seriously man...that wasn't good.
Guess wat, I missed my sunday futsal session. Sorry guys,too wasted. BUT there was field football at 6.30 with Eugene! woots! lets just say,it was pretty good, and I need to practice a hell lot more. damn the ball is bouncy.
I am exhausted now,so I will slowly slip away into slumber with a sleeping aid, which is watching Bolton vs Liverpool (happening right now peeps)
Adios!

Midweek Funnies and illegal immigrants
Yeaps,it's gonna be Wednesday, the middle of the working week.3 days to go to the oh so lovely sleep-in-till late sat-uhh-day
Why Harry Potter is much better than Twilight is highlighted by this dumbass question.
Jokes aside,I had a pretty awesome weekend with me pals, and a BONUS pal who I haven't seen in a while(balik coz visa expiring..ahahaha.lest he be deported)
On Saturday,I had me some good food at Starhill Gallery.For those not in the know, they have a 3-6pm promotion where a few places like Shook!, the Korean place and the Chinese place have a special menu with most items retailing at RM3.60.Yes,you saw right, Starhill,Shook!,RM3.60 a dish.
Of course,don't expect the dishes to be large enough to feed the Weasley Twins.But order enough,and you'll soon find yourself quite stuffed.I have tried both Shook! and the Chinese place, and I found the menu to be quite decent.Grab the sausage at Shook!,it's pretty tasty!and the Chinese place has pretty good Fried Kuay Teow, and each dish for the not so princely sum of RM3.60.nice!
After all the food, we decided to go karaoke!
woot!haven't done that in a while.SO lets go! honestly,I haven't been practicing my chinese songs, so was a little rusty there.However,I did rock a few rap verses,especially Knock You Down by Keri Hilson feat Kanye West and Ne-Yo.That was so awesome when I managed to pull off at least 80% of the rap bits!WooT!
First attempt at Eminem's verses on Love the Way you Lie kinda tanked though.That guy is just genius.
Long story short, sang enough to lose most of my voice by the end of the session (8-12.30am woots!)
Sunday rolls around,and it's time for futsal!
My illegal immigrant friend joined me for my usual round of futsal on the weekend.
We kicked ass:) Mainly coz he's pretty good and has lotsa stamina. So I just hung back and let him do all the attacking,mainly coz I have a bit of a broken toe-nail, so didn't feel like bombing around getting into needless challenges and end up hurting myself again.
Then off for dinner with my family and my unc and aunt who're visiting from New Zealand
Yay for seafood near the Tropicana City Mall area.Don't ask me where,I just followed my sis there.
The butter prawns and butter crab and pissing prawns are pretty good there.and the fried man tou is awesome when u dip it into the butter crab sauce!Sin in a bun!
After dinner,it's time to watch football!
Watched it with my illegal immigrant friend near his place. Chelsea V Arsenal.
Man,it's really like men vs boys sometimes.and what's the deal with The Drog always scoring against Arsenal?With a ridiculous backheel as well! go youtube that folks!
did catch the Barcelona game as well,and boy,did Pep take a gamble leaving out Xavi.With Messi et. al misfiring and pretty good fortune from..Mallorca I think (2 shots, 1 goal) they only got a draw out of their home game.
So Monday is upon me.......time to get to work.....

An electrical blackout when you're in the middle of a dump is challenging
Oh boy,wat a day.
when I get back home from having a yumcha session with my friends, all I want to do is sit down on the throne and have me a nice session together with some reading material (picked up a magazine from work)
as I am roughly near the tail end of my business,the neighbourhood experiences a blackout.
in an instant,my senses heightened,my instincts kick in.
The memories of my surroundings immediately begin to form in front of me as I frantically draw a picture in the pitch black darkness,where was the last known location of the toilet roll? what is in front of me?what position were my boxers in?where shall I toss the magazine so I wouldn't step on it and mess it up?
As these thoughts raced through my head,my instincts kicked in.
Calmly,I remembered the rough location of the toilet roll(about 30 cm to my right,sitting on the toilet roll dispenser)and began groping in the space void of light.
With the grace of an ice-skater,I roll an approximate length,using my mind's eye to visualize the length that will comfortably get the job done, with room for error,should there be any.
I subsequently apply the usage of the toilet paper with the utmost care and precision,making sure to utilize all my 25+ years of experience.
As my cousin aptly put,I am relying on muscle memory to carry out the job when my sight has been inhibited by the pitch black darkness.
Needless to say,with my 25+ years experience,no mishaps were encountered, and I safely maneuvered my boxers back on and washed my hands(also,using heightened senses and my minds eye to visualize where the tap and soap were the last time I used it)
Crisis averted.
Phew.
Here's what happened immediately after the ordeal (still no electricity)
I decided to post on facebook with my mobile phone,coz these things should be shared on one of the most popular social networking sites on the planet in an attempt to make oneself sound really funny and/or witty.
Yes,I have not so smart friends, and a helpful cousin.guess who's who.
Names have been erased for protection of identity and protection from being super-ridiculed by our other friends.But photo has been kept for a tasty clue
See,I'm a nice guy fr.....oopps, almost gave the name away.

Being sick sucks
Well,
I have been sick the past few days,with an inkling of a sore throat on Monday the prelude of what would be a nasty fever,followed by sore throat and ultimately with a combination of work and sickness,has put quite a strain on me the last few days.Phew
The last couple of days, I have been having a bit of cough to go with the lovely fever and sore throat,with a copious amount of phlegm being expended in the process.
I have a half broken toe-nail from futsal a couple of weeks ago(ouchies)
But I am not dead yet:)
I actually had a grand plan for my Sunday
Wake up,get a hair cut, go to the gym and sweat a bit.Come back and watch Transformers 2-Revenge of the Fallen on my 23 inch Samsung Monitor (yeaps,be jealous ya'll with your puny monitors.blekkkk)
Well,I at least got the haircut.skipped the gym coz i feel a little fatigued (this is coz I stayed up to watch the Real Madrid game.Sadly,Mourinho hasn't been doing a good job on Cristiano Ronaldo.That guy thinks he can win games on his own.Didn't see him try too many passes to anyone but Row Z of the Levante Stadium)
Anyhow, we'll see how it goes tomorrow, coz as of now I am still coughing sporadically and even bounding up the stairs already tercungap-cungap.how to treadmill like this?
Even worse,lets say I'm carrying a pair of dumbbells over my head,and suddenly start coughing,lord help me if they fall on my face(i can prevent it by carrying light weights,like,2.5 kg's.but,not much of a workout there right?)
Anyways
In fact,I am quite enjoying the challenges that are ahead of me in work and getting my health back up to speed.
Here's something a friend of mine(can't remember who) shared a while ago and is nice and inspiring when you're feeling down(well,at least it got me pumped up.But i'm a sucker for inspirational words)
Kinda like how I'm feeling right now. Taking charge of my life.

Re-Boot
Yeaps,
I've had quite the hiatus from my blog,and have received a couple of complaints that I haven't updated in a while
The reason?
Lazy for one, and once you lose a bit of momentum,it's hard to gain back.
The reason for momentum loss?
3 awesome weeks of HOLIDAY in 1)Cape Town, South Africa, and 2)Buenos Aires, Argentina (and another place in Argentina called Iguazu National Falls)
you want pictures?
hmm,lets share a couple then
So there we have it folks.
some of the stuff that I have done while I was away for 3 weeks.
There's lots more pictures,but I doubt they'd fit.
Those of you lucky enough to be on facebook and are my friend will get to see a few more photos uploaded by my sister(tagging me as well) so you can enjoy yourselves there.Trust me,it's good photos.

hmm,lets share a couple then
 |
| This here is the Table Mountain National Park.It's got an awesome view of Cape Town itself, and is very very lovely to walk around.you can access it via a 360 degrees rotating cable car that goes up quite fast(but smooth as well) |
 |
| Here's another shot,of the other side of Table Mountain.lotsa rocks and sea to look at |
 |
| The 3 wise owls, and me messing it up.It's daytime,and these barn owls are catchin some shuteye This here is actually a rehab centre for injured and/or domesticated birds of prey(yeap,owls are birds of prey too) |
 |
| This is Argentina,Iguazu, Bird Park. That's a toucan,and it's bloody cute!it's quite tame as well,and it allowed me to come near it so I could take this gorgeous picture. |
 |
| This here is what we flew 2 hours on budget airfllight from Buenos Aires.Iguazu Waterfalls.Well,this is actually just 1 part of the many waterfalls that dominate the landscape of Iguazu National Park. What's also interesting is that the river that makes the waterfalls is actually the border of Argentina and Brazil.So you can view the waterfalls from both sides!So yes,I got a bonus trip to Brazil as well(but just to see the falls,nothing else) |

Random acts of kindness and i'll be away for a while
Ya know,it's been a while since I last posted
I have been in awe of the new comp,so much so that i've spent lotsa time on it,without caring to post on this blog
I'm sorrry
I'm so sssoooorrry!
I am back,but not for long though as I prepare for my trip to South Africa and South America with my family
Today I have been the recipient of a random act of kindness,that although small,did make my day.
I was downstairs to grab a cup of coffee from the coin vending machine,but I was short 10 cents when I yelled over at my colleague who was sitting on the pile of application forms, waiting for the transport to come and pick it up.
However,he didn't have 10 cents, and after a bit of rummaging in my pockets,it was futile as well.
So I was resigned to buying a cup of coffee, hot, not my preference when there's ice nescafe just begging to be had from the vending machine.
And then,this chap who was sitting near the machine just piped up and said "hey,you need 10 cents right?here you go!"
and taddaaaa!
I get my nescafe ice,in a cup,instead of just plain ol hot nescafe.
thank you kind stranger for the little acts of kindness that keeps my faith in the goodness of mankind
thank you stranger!

HOUSE IS BROKEN INTO!
The day my mom called me to tell me the house got broken into and stuff got stolen, I was working on a saturday at the friggin Treats Fair.There's just too many people at the fair,and when you're on the end of endless customer queries and requests,that just doesn't help at all.
My first thought was,"damn,my saved games.especially my pokemon games" Yeah,I still play my pokemon.gotta catch em all I say.
Then,I embarrassingly admit my second thought.
"I should post this update on facebook using my mobile phone.maybe like this "house got broken into!laptop stolen!damn!"
Luckily,I didn't execute that.
However,my third thought brought me a little bit of sadness.
The loss of my intellectual property
You heard right.Intellectual property.My thoughts for and a whole nice beginning paragraph to begin my epic story of love,betrayal,conspiracy of the highest order and more love.Yeah,love is the theme to billion dollar goodness(think harry potter,twilight).*music...I wanna be a billionaire,so freakin baddd*
Ah well,no biggie.
I still remember bits and pieces, especially my heroine and hero's names and a few other main characters.
So I shall type it all in cyberspace,by composing in gmail and never sending it out till it's complete.
This way,if any laptop gets stolen etc,I'd still have a copy till I'm done!
The laptop is the only thing that was lost from my room.They didn't even bother to search around.So,it really helps having a messy room.They didn't even take the 100 SGD I hid under a notebook on my drawers.haha!
Anyhow,now I begin my search for a good PC.I figure it'll be harder for the robbers to take away,if there are others. Jiok says I can get a damn good one for RM3k.Sweet!

BBQ and Quarter Finals
I haven't had a good barbecue in a while,so when my colleague invited the team over to her house for a good ol' barbecue,I pretty much said, "Yes please!"
Sausages, marshmallows, different kinds of mushrooms, fish, prawns, some funky japanese "muachi" and we were in for a very solid meal of unhealthy!think of all the carcinogens you can pile into your body!
But not before showing off our singing skills to each other at a good ol' karaoke session!
Contrary to popular belief,THIS banana can actually sneak in a few chinese songs (mandarin mostly) and wow most people.
However,I gotta admit my chinese songs are waay wayyy rusty,so I think I'll be spending some time re-memorizing the songs like Tong Hua, Wu Ding, some Jay Chou Stuff and Wang Lee Hom stuff as well
Not to mention learning up the chorus of Qian Li Zhi Wai (Go listen to it,or ask me for it,i'll send it to you.The Chorus Guy Fei Yu Qing has some really cool vocals going on for himself)
Time to download some old faves as well,like Wo Bu Nan Guo
So,a good karaoke session in the afternoon, followed by a kickass bbq, how else to round out the day with...THE WORLD CUP!
WOW
just WOW
I hate to sound like I'm re-posting what the entire world thinks right now,but dang,this World Cup has thrown up a BUTTLOAD of surprises!almost all those who have been tagged as favourites have been put in their place,some convincingly,and some not quite so convincingly.
Uruguay beat Ghana(tough to call,but on penalties and a "hand of God")
The Dutch finally proved their mettle in the latter stages,with a comeback win against Brazil nonetheless!
Today I watched the Germans KICK Argentina's butt the way they kicked England's,and you gotta be wondering even if this young German team do not make it all the way,they'll definitely be a force to be reckoned with come Euro 2012 and WC 2014.
To quote my cousin, "AHAHAHAHAH.It don't matter how much support a country has. Germany will Four-Goals that country!"
If u ask me,this match is summarized in just a few words.
Messi didn't turn up for this match.Period.
Over reliant on him?perhaps Argentina are,for they didn't really play as a team and hoped for lots of individual brilliance in this match.Sadly, the Germans are way too efficient and the tactics from nose-picker Loew were spot on to nullify the attacking threats of Argentina. Brace yourself for all the "don't cry for me argentina" gags that are bound to come up in cyberspace.
I also stayed up to watch a pulsating match between Spain and Paraguay.Now this was a match well worth watching for the masterclass from xavi and iniesta, as well as some real good grit and teamwork from Paraguay
A tale of 2 penalties, both saved. But the 1st one was the turning point, and Cardozo stepped up, and Casillas saved Spain yet again.
Spain got themselves a penalty almost immediately after, and Xabi Alonso stepped up, and buried it!
But what?Oh?no! The ref has blown his whistle!Xabi Alonso has to take it again as the ref has deemed there has been encroachment upon the penalty area while the spot kick was taken.
Here we go again, Xabi Alonso!Saved by Villar,and the rebound cleared off the line by the defender!
No biggie,coz Spain has David Villa in RED-HOT form.
After some Xavi-Iniesta magic and perfect timing from Pedro who hits the post, Villa was on hand to ping-pong the rebound against both posts before the ball nestles into the corner.
Cue SIESSSTAAAAA!!!(i hope that means party in Spanish,or is it the resting period?)
