Parasailing

Today my Fiancee and I went to Sutera Harbour Sea Quest for a Parasailing activity. Upon arrival, we were informed that we cannot do it because the weather was not good for such activity. We were a bit disappointing and just about to leave when the person in charge made an effort to ask his supervisor (I guess) whether they can accomodate one slot for us. Thank God, they were willing to give us a shot and we were good to go.

We boarded the boat, put our life jacket on, surrendered our watches, handphone and car key to be kept by the operators. The only thing that I didn't give is my wallet. I put it on my front pocket. Why? because I didnt remember how much money left inside.

I don't really know how to explain the feelings... it's better for you to go and try it yourself... I guess it's similar like flying by plane, only not surrounded by composite wall and with low speed... Those of you who interested to give it a try, hopefully the following info will help:

Watersport: Parasailing

Location: Sutera Harbour, Kota Kinabalu - Look for Sea Quest at Marina Club

Price: RM 180 (We were told that doing this in an adjacent island is much cheaper)

Contact: 6088 248006

Besides parasailing, there are others water sport they have to offer like Jet Ski, Banana Rides, Wake Boarding, Water Skiing, Ocean Kayak etc... Cheers...

P/S: If anything valuable dropped into the sea, there is no way you can find it back. So, don't bring unnecessary things together. Be as simple as possible...

The Principle

  
I have number of principles. Principles that I believe I can hold onto. Principles that I talked with everyone especially with my friends and basically agreed on what it stand for or whatever reason it holds into. Anyhow, lately, I seem to walk away from one of it. It seems that I compromise on what I hold strong previously. I purposely loosening my grip on that matter, for some reasons that I see as an opportunity or chance of a lifetime that will make me regret if I don't take any appropriate action now.

So, between the principle of what is right for many people (and to some extent is right for me too), I decided to ignore anything about it, as I don't want any regret or guilt within myself to haunt me forever for not doing what is deemed to me as a right thing to do. Yes, I believe I should do what I think is the right thing to do, as I understand myself and my situation better than anyone else. So, I trust my own judgment, even if i did ask others' opinion along the way.

Making a big decision is not always an easy thing for me. Manoeuvring my own life sometime could be a mystery. It’s like going into a thick fog ahead as I do not know what will happen and what is in there.  Many question pop out of my mind. What if this happened... what if that happened and so on.... and I don’t really know the answer. The only reason that keeps me going is because I believe in God. I believe that things will never go wrong if I let him to take charge. And many times, it is not easy to simply put your faith like that. As a human, I still need some assurance; I still need to touch, to see, to get the result and etc...  to believe.

But if I don’t have faith, how do I want to keep moving?  I might just delayed things and leave myself strangled in confusion and hesitation.  In fact, I encountered this situation many times, especially when I reached the crossroads.

I know that my principle is right. It’s always right all the time, but it doesn’t mean that I have to stand by it all the time.  As a human, I think I should be more rational, and not to look things in 2 perspectives only. There are times in my life that either Yes or No is not gonna be an answer. There are times I should stay in the twilight area

I planned things out, but it doesn’t mean it will work that way.  I believe, God knows the best about it, and I believe that nobody is going to change my life for the better except me. So.... let’s rock and roll.... kekeekek

My 28th Birthday

Before my birthday is over, I want to write something about it. Today, is my 28th Birthday...... Looking back at the past, many things have changed. I would say that I am on the right track about what I want to achieve and what I want to become. The latter is difficult to be defined, because only me can understand what it is all about.

Time flies really fast. It flies really fast until at some point, I didnt realized that somehow I was left out from the things that I suppose to accomplish according to my plan. Anyway, thanks to God, everything still go smoothly until now. Life is full of challenges, difficulties, crossroads, uncertainties etc. But we must not run from it, rather than embrace life as a gift from God. Life is not easy. I failed for many times. There were times when I feel like to quit..... but I believe, I should only rest & take a break, but must not quit.

God willing, 28 seems to be the last number of me being a bachelor. After that, I will be known as a married man. Some people say, its "GAME OVER". It could be true, but for me not 100% true.... Its more on how you as a couple fit each other. Of course there is no such thing as Mr Right or Ms Right....no such thing as u meant for me, and i meant for you... Its more on how compromise is being stressed in a life as a couple.

Personally, I am looking forward for my wedding day..... and I am looking forward to live with the person I have chosen. I have thousand reasons to choose my girlfriend as a love of my life :) (Jangan kau kembang sana)

I got a beautiful Birthday wish from my fiancee... this is what she said:

If we lit a bday candle 4 evry wise words u’ve spoken, evry caring deed u’ve done & evry single life u’ve touchd, the room wil b filld wit 'RAYdiant' glows..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my Fiance!

I wish u happiness & hope ur aspirations wil bcome reality.. N I want 2 b there 4 u. I love u so much! God bless u..

tell ...me what ribbon colour u like.. i'll tie it arnd me :p

 

Its simple, yet very meaningful for me. Its the best birthday wishes I ever had so far...... So, I framed it on my Blog....

New Balance Pacesetters 15 KM Run

I woke up at 5:00 am today and get myself ready for the run. I was kinda lazy and thought like... "ahh what is this" as I had in in mind that this run will be easy for me. I even had a couple of beers the night before with my friend, Alex.

The event started sharp at 7.15 am for Men's Open Category. I ran with peace of mind, listening to my musics. Just about 20 minutes running, I started to feel pain all over my leg... I was thinking, what the heck with this!! Its just 20 minutes or 2-3KM away which I were not so sure and this is happening to me? I was then try to recall what had gone wrong.

I realized that first, I did not maintain my speed evenly. I had been going very fast from the starting point.... I remember how I started for the Penang Bridge Marathon which is very contrary to this. I tried slowing down by hope the pain will go away, but it won't. I came to realized then, that the route was hilly. Thing become the most difficult for me when running uphill. I cursed for many times. My leg pain was almost unbearable. I was thinking that I am going to fail. Can you imagine, how embarrasing is that? My arrogance was paid off! Kotoh!

I prayed to God, so that the pain will go away. Well, the pain was still there, until I almost fell to the ground as I did not watch my steps properly. I was shocked, peoples were looking at me, but I didn't hear whatever they said as I was on my MP3 and I didn't bother.... hahaha... When that happened, I felt my adrenaline 'rushing/flowing' all over my body and I became super alerted. I didn't realize that the pain suddenly gone. I smiled when I thought of my prayer earlier. "Ohh... thats the way You do it? Thanks by the way :)"... hahaha....

I continued running until the 8th KM.... I checked my watch and it was already 8:00 am. Gosh, 7 KM to go.... and by saying that, my route went uphill again.... There were times, when I just want to give up. I stopped, and thinking of walking only. But I remember, that by stopping will only make me weak and de-motivated. I forced myself to run....  and took a deep breath simultaneously.

I reached the finish line around 8:47 am... and I guess my unofficial time is 1 Hr 32 Mins.... we'll wait until the final list come out. I proceed to get my finisher medal, and straight away trying to cool down myself. I was not feel any excitement and joy as what I experienced in Penang before, but I was thankful to God because I managed to complete it within the qualifying time. Thanks God. :)

I am gonna check the Standard Chatered Marathon route after this. If they use the same hilly route as this, I am gonna back off and re-register myself only for the half-marathon category. I know I will never do it for hilly route.

I think, it is very important to buy one pouch to get my things intact. It was really troublesome to run while holding your key, and wondering your wallet, camera or handphone is safe inside your car.... Those of you who planned to to join such event like this, pls bring all necessary items together to sustain you during the whole run. You will get tired, you will have muscle pain, cramped etc... so bring some medication and hi-energy bars... haha...

Good luck and All the best!!

2nd Day

Since I have some spare time to write, so I will be writing about my second day at work. I got my log on infor, which means I can access email & internet. Apart from that, I have the opportunity to study some of the work-related application, but I have not fully understand the principal behind. Its all about capacity planning.

My colleague brought me into the production and explained to me about the process flow. I kind of blurr a bit since this is totally new to me. Anyhow, since I got internet access, I managed to google some info regarding the processes, and thank God, I am able to understand some of the mechanism involved. Tomorrow will be a different day for me as I already know what I will be doing the whole day. I need to break the formula used in the template. I need to understand how it is derived and find any logical corelation of  the arrangement of data.

I am required to submit a report after 3 months. It is considered as my on the job training if I am not mistaken... so far I've found 2 sabahans working there. But, I seldom meet them because they are in different department. I found out that the food inside the canteen was not bad. Many choices and look delicious. But, it's too early to judge. My other colleagues think they are boring. So they chose to eat outside. As for me, I still prefer eating outside. Cheap and I can get more rest during lunch hour.

Today is my last free session with my personal trainer. I found out that he is good and experienced. I never feel so much pain for exercising before, but during the 1 hour session, I felt like all my bones are breaking.... kkekeke. But that is what exercising is all about right? No pain no gain. I didnt continue having a personal trainer as I cannot commit to the cost they charged. Its good to have one, but I guess I must depend on my own. Internet kan ada.

A New Week

I've arrived safely in KL last Sunday. Journey was quite fun and good as two friends of mine (Frankie & Clarice) were together with me. We spent a night together before both of them left to Penang. Before that, we managed to meet up for a light drink with Bran, Guz & family, and Alex.

Eventhough tired, but I was happy because I did not feel alone travelling from Penang to KL. I used to drive alone for many times.... And I tell you, It was really tiring to have to drive alone all by yourself. So, my gratitude goes to them! (Jan melebi minta puji ahh.. kasi makan kamu taie...kakaka)

For the first 2 days here, I felt lonely [Instead of horny :)]... I cant explained what I had missed behind. Of course I forgot a few things which is my vacuum cleaner, my engine oil which I purposely left behind and only came to realize that I should bring it back here. (Mahal bah tuh barang .. hehe)... But i felt lonely. Was it because of my friends leaving me? Was it because of the new evnironment again? or was it due to my free time? I dont really know.

I used to think that everything will be easy for me. I used to think that I belonged to be here and has made a right choice. But, during last 2 days, many things crossed over my mind. I realized that I was so attached to my daily routine in Penang. Jogging after work, cooking for dinner, more privacy, out with frens every friday nights etc.... With all these things flashed back into my mind.... the thought of me, making a wrong decision haunting me back.

Anyhow, I knew and I am very sure deep inside me that I was all right. My decision is the best for now and for my future. I just need to adapt again. I just need to adjust myself being away from the comfort thingy, which I guess I will no longer enjoyed like when I was in Penang. Some more, my decision was not solely on my own jurisdiction. I prayed, I pray hard for guidance and I have faith on the path that I have chosen to go.

Now, I have no idea of what is waiting for me in my new employment. I dont know what to expect. But as I always do, expect the least and just go for it and survive. Being observant and make the right move is always the key.

Now, I am back. Sitting in the room I used to sit, looking away the very same view from my window. Even though evrything remain the same, but I am not the same person  who used sit here a year ago. I am expecting a lot more things in life. And I am not running away from it.

THE HECK

I woke up late today. It was 8.15am when I realized that I was still laying on my bed…. comfortably. But as usual, and I think it is my habit when it happened to be late to work….. I never rushed myself instead of preparing myself slowly and calmly. It always inside my mind that, once I late, how fast I rush myself, my attendance will still being recorded as ‘LATE’. They do not distinguish the time frame like 5 mins late, 10 mins late or so forth. So, why bother? Once late, embrace it and enjoy the ride.

I arrived at office like nobody business. Pretending that I just came back from meeting, sat on my table and switch on my computer, and straight away do my job like nothing happened. I am very good at pretending a.k.a ‘berlakon’. My colleague asked me….. “U got fever?” and I said… “No, I woke up late”.

I had been very busy lately. Lots of job coming at once, and require completion about the same due time. But, I learnt to control my stress. So, complete or not, I will walk out shortly after office hour is over. That is my principle.

I bought my September flight ticket to KK last 2 days. Actually I had seen it increasing day by day, week by week, from RM 400 something to RM 651 and lastly to RM700 something. I was so afraid that the price might climb up if I keep on delaying. And once I made my decision, the price already at RM748. So I delayed my flight to the next day, and managed to get a return ticket at RM651. So I bought it.

This evening I checked the Airasia.com website again, and I was very shocked, surprise and pissed off. The price for a return flight with exactly the same date and time to KK has dropped off by 40% from RM 651 to RM 385.

I was thinking what the TUUT is going around? What games are being played or what principles are being applied to decide the pricing? I thought the further you wait, the more expensive it will be. By logic, shouldn’t it be that way?

I think this people had learnt enough about consumer’s psychological behaviour. They know how people normally think and react and this is our fault for generously giving into their customer’s feedback survey. When most consumers including me have the same typical thoughts, the opposite will happen out of our expectation. Who will not be pissed off when such situation happens?

Then I thought about my December’s flight ticket which I bought about a month ago. I check the same route, same date and same time…… and again and again…. I am totally speechless!! The price has gone down by 11% from RM 319 to RM283.

So in the end, I lose about 30% out of RM 900++ due to my smart ass. This is a good example out of this case that, when buying ticket from Airasia.com, I should not plan in advance, especially when the hot promotions are being released.

Our Police

I was driving to work as usual early morning when I decided to take a short cut to my office and make an illegal turn to the right side of the road. In a middle of nowhere, there were a bunch of policemen doing roadblock and I was one of their victims.

One of the officers stopped me, asked for my driving licence and ID card. He asked me whether I knew my offence or not. I said “Salah Jalan”. He said what kind of offence is that and explained that I actually crossed the double line.

I kept silence and let him do his job of pretending to take note of my car registration number. He gets back to me and said, “So how? You want still want me to release the ‘saman’??? I knew it. I knew what exactly in his head.

I am very upset with the police nowadays. We heard a lot of sad story about snatch thieves, robbery, rape, mat rempit and the lists goes on. What the hell they wana make themselves busy by observing people crossing the double lines? I mean there are a lot more much important things they should observe to keep the public safe from bad people out there.

Why is this problem of corrupted police force never been solved by the government? Even the IPCMC had failed its implementation for a reason that everybody cannot understand or accept logically. The police are now taking their job for granted and abuse their power to get more money in the most disgusting way.

Because of this, people like me will find many reasons to break the law. I have to blame myself, for breaking the law ye… not bribing…. Tiba2 plak aku masuk ISA.

Proceed on: "Our Police"

Where am I?

After been in Penang for 5 days, I started to adjust myself to the new house, new environment, new work place, new friends etc. I started to accept that my room is small….. that I cannot run during night time because it is too dangerous….. that I cannot wash my car on my own since there is no way I can go inside the parking area. The most stupid policy ever, only one car/unit house is allowed to enter the entrance gate.

But I believe, there will be a way for me to beat these unfortunate constraints. I just need more time to see it coming. Today, is my second day working in the new company. Day one was tremendously bored. There were no many things to do. Anyhow today, a little bit different. I did my own tour and survey to understand further about my future task.

Tomorrow, I will be doing some hands on job, which I created on my own to ensure a smooth start when my senior start to dump some new project on me. Well, they did train me, by just verbally explained on what is this and that. Oh well, I clearly understood, but if you ask me to do it right away, I believe I can only do 30% out of it. Then there will be some frustrated face shown, and this is what I really want to avoid before it happened.

Overall, I am excited about a new responsibility. I am looking forward to learn and to contribute. I have no regret when I walk my plan and decided to go. Those peoples, who belittled my decision to resign, should feel ashamed about themselves for the negative and bad perception they gave on me. It is very clear that their allegations were baseless and based on emotional and personal overreaction.

They pretend they knew everything. They predict other people future. They even said, since the economic outlook is not good, thus you should be thankful of what you have and do not look for a short term gain.(Aku plak dia kata tamak). What a bluff.

I watch "Confession of a Shopaholic"

Yesterday I went to KLCC. I got free TGV coupon and I think why not? I kan dah ‘bujang’ balik….. hehehe. I observed my surrounding like a stranger. I suspect that this might due to excess exposure of the wall inside my office.

I parked my car at Taman Jaya LRT station. I was surprise to know that the parking fee have increased from RM 3 to RM 4. If I used the MBPJ parking, it will only cost RM 0.6/hr.

I guess people making a lot of money with parking business. It’s an easy business I think. If you get the right location, you do not need to worry whether it can sell or not. How much of money you can get in a month if every day the parking is full like this:???

Let’s say 200 cars per day with 26 working days in a month….. they can easily get 20.8K/ month. There is no major cost as no material, no machine, no depreciation etc. involved …. May be only small management or maintenance cost incur which contribution might not be significant. I don’t know. I just guess.

How much do you think they will get when this parking complex completed??

The Terminkor

Today, I officially declared myself into a recession. God saves me. I need to make a comprehensive plan about my cash flow, and follow my budget allocation strictly. I managed to understand one thing about this economy downturn….. All the stimulus packages is only meant to soften the crash, anyway it will still going to happen. The equation is like this;

Stimulus = Parachute

With parachute, you may land safely and probably with minor injury. Recovery will be faster too.

I had a weird dream this afternoon. It’s about flood. I saw a lot of car moving on a road which is used to be a river (I don’t know when). But in a sudden, the disaster started. Water in a middle of nowhere starts to rise.

It caused a massive jam as it stops the car from moving. I watch everything from the bridge, and the bridge started to shake. I asked my twins to run with me, going somewhere to the hill. It started to rain heavily, and I need to call my family out of my uncle’s house. My twin doesn’t want to go with me.

At the same time, I am not sure whether they are in that house…. I just felt that they were all there. That’s it. Its end there before I wake up and realize that there is scratches on my leg. I don’t know where I get it as I didn’t knock on any object or bushes or whatever can cause such thing.

Anyhow, today is a bright day. I managed to run about 4.2 km…. and this is a pic which I took using my new Sony Ericsson W980i.
(And to the VIP, the Crystal Crown Hotel can be seen through my room window)

It's Friday.....

Today is Friday. I remembered very well, when I woke up from bed, that today I should avoid eating meat. I remembered it very well. Upon reaching my company, once again I told myself, that during breakfast, don’t pick up meat. I parked my car, and punch in and put my notebook in place and straightaway go to the canteen.

I took fried rice in small portion, put some curry and had a half-cup of coffee. When I reached to the payment counter, it’s just so strange to see me eating fried rice with curry without egg or sausage.

I don’t know why during that moment of thinking; I really think that egg is bored. I don’t realize that my hand automatically picks up the chicken sausage… and ate it more than half without realizing that I should not eat any meat today….

My friend laughed at me when I said….. “I thought sausage is made from egg”.

The Shorts

I have 2 shorts which i have been used for 5 years. So I bought another two..... which only cost me about RM 80.00..... I didn't plan to buy at the first place, but I think it is a good deal, good promotion..... so without thinking a sec, I grab it.

Tidak tau lah kalau sia kana budu2 taktik promosi....hehehe

The Dinner
I was invited by Bran to his new house to join them BBQing last Sunday. Well, I was thinking, why not? Since I was all alone without anything to do beside my stupid compressor presentation. So, like I always did, after attended the sunset mass, I went to his new house. Quite difficult to find if you do not use GPS… hehe

I joined him BBQing, and straightaway help myself to enjoy his cooking. After that, I had a couple of beer before, and also some wine afterwards. We were playing some silly games, but very entertaining and interesting in my point of view.

I wasn’t that drunk during my way back home. But after arrived, I felt really terrible…. It was like I had consumed 10 cans of beers. The dizziness was killing me. I didn’t have any option than throwing out whatever I ate before, and went to sleep. I was told by Mr Bran, it was due to the mixing between beer and wine. Is that true? I don’t know…..

The Dream
That night, I was dreaming. A kind of bug bites me and went through my skin (arm). It moves around and tried get up to my neck. I can see it moves beneath my skin, and it really hurts. I tried to block its way to my neck, but it moves very fast and went to other way around when blocked.

I was a bit panicked, I finally decided to kill it by pressing it hardly, and I don’t know how possibly it was for me as I tear out my own skin to have it removed. And after removing that bug, I was surprised, that actually it was not a bug. It was a kind of black scorpion (not exactly the same, but I do not know what on earth that species is called)

The Shopping
After that, within the same day I went for a shopping. A light shopping I guess as I only want to buy one pack of water, vitamin C and a facial cleaner. I bought my Vit C and that facial cleaner which amounting to RM 86.++, then I went to Carrefour to get a drinking water. After finished, I pushed my trolley to the parking area, and loaded everything, and drove my way back home.

After that, I continued my presentation. Then I came to realize that while carrying my plastic bag, it was very light. I asked myself why?. It was a flash back. I rushed to check it only to know that my Vit. C and face cleaner was not inside. I was terrified. I left it inside my trolley…. It was like I just throw my money for nothing during this difficult time?

I was hesitate to go back, as I am quite sure it already gone. Anyway, I am not satisfied and thinking of any luck I might have. This is the most stupid trait I have and I cannot control it until now. I went back, knowing the chance of finding it back was very less. And I am not amazed at all. It had gone. Blessed be those who took it. I felt disappointed. And to counter back this disappointment, I bought another one which cost me exactly the same money. Fair enough. Lesson to learn…. Don’t trust luck!!!

Continuous Alien

After attended The Air Compressor training last 2 days, this morning I was asked by my MD to prepare a presentation to teach about what I had learned there. In other words, I was required to transfer my knowledge to my colleagues and to him through formal presentation.

Rayner (reporting):
Last 2 days I attended training about Air Compressor. The topic covers about how to calculate required pressure, power, capacity and about designing and maintaining the air compressor. Apart from that, I also learned about the mechanism and structure of air compressor, various types available in the market and also in economic point of view when to go about buying one.

MD:
Did you learn something?

Rayner:
Of course .

MD:
Can you do maintenance?

Rayner:
The topic only covers about theoretical aspect of it. I did understand which parts need to be maintained, but if you ask me to do maintenance or servicing…. I cannot do.

MD:
That’s why I will transfer you to maintenance department.

Rayner:
No problem.

MD:
No problem?

Rayner:
Yes, No problem.

MD:
It‘s ok. Now you have to prepare a presentation and teach all of us here (6 members) including me.

Rayner:
When?

MD:
Tomorrow.

Rayner:
Tomorrow? But today and tomorrow I have another training.

MD:
So, the whole week, you only attend training?

Rayner:
The Admin forced me to go.

MD:
Ok. Then make it on the 29 Jan.

Rayner:……..

I was thinking, how should I teach a topic which seems to be very strange for me? I never deal with compressor before. Anyhow, I think I will learn about it during CNY holiday. I need to refresh whatever I was thought during the training. I believe I can do it. Just wait and see how I teach you something that I never done before. Hopefully I will not make you lost…. hahaha

The Bunch

Today I attended a training regarding The Theory, Design, Operation and Maintenance of Air Compressor. I do not know what this training have to do with me since I do not deal with compressor in my daily job. But, I think it is an opportunity to learn and I am glad I was chosen to attend this training.

So, the first thing is, the training was damned boring. The trainer read most of his lecture from the book and gave only little explanation. I am sorry to say this even though I think the trainer was kind enough. But, I have to say the truth. He was kind, but the lecture was very boring.

Second thing is, while smoking at the open area, one bird dumped its shits on me around 1:55pm…. It fell straight on my forehead!!! I thought it was a drop of water from the a/c unit!! I just wiped it with my hand and straightaway went to the training room and wait until the training finished at 4:40pm before washing it.

Thirdly, I asked the trainer about the current economic situation. He said, he cannot say anything right now as he needs to see the coming economic indicators by March. My colleague said economic condition will be very bad after Chinese New Year. I asked why? He said because customer will not be spending after that. And the economy will deteriorate further. I didn’t say a word.

I heard people claiming before, that the stock market will crash badly after CNY. The same claim I heard last year. I don’t know base on what source the claims were made. But, if we refer back the stock market history during last year CNY, we can conclude that their claims were baseless.



Looking at the graph above, closing price for 1st Feb 2008 (Before CNY) was 1393.25 and closing price for 11th March 2008 (After CNY) was 1404.86. Where was the crash?

Of course it plunged afterwards especially in the month of March, but it was not due to “AFTER CNY” sentiment. It was closely linked to the politic instability due to the 12th General Election. And we can see from the graph when BN had lost 5 states and failed to maintained 2/3 majority, the market reacted aggressively with heavy selling on the 10th March 2008. Afterwards, the downtrend was due to external factor also.

Well, I might be wrong. Nobody can exactly predict the direction of the market price. So we will need to see whether the so-called crash will happen after this coming CNY.

As for me, I believe the 4Q 2008 result which will be out next month will not be pleasing as well as 1Q2009. But, I BELIEVE, recovery will start taking place in the 2nd Half of 2009. True or not, only time will tell.

The Words

I just stay at home today. Need to complete the company report plus need to spend extra time with family before takeoff to KL tomorrow. After that I will take 1 day rest before working as I only start working on the 6 Jan 2009. It’s killing me when I start to think about working.

It is raining here as I writing my post. I put all my clothes in the washing machine, and check my flight info so that “banana won’t fruit twice”. That was a terrible experience.

Year 2009 will be an interesting year for me despite the tough economy condition. I see a lot of opportunity to advance. But at the same time, I got some strong issue which will drag or affect my plan behind. Only time will show which one prevails.

Everybody does not like Monday. As far as I know, in the Boring group only one person likes Monday very much. But today one good thing happened. I managed to get my leave approved. I don’t think it ever that easy, thanks God. So officially I would like to announce that my Christmas Holiday will start on the 18 Dec 2008. I got 9 days off day remaining, but today it’s all gone. So, like everybody, I am entering a holiday mood now.

I realized that the number of cars on Federal Highway has reduced since last week. I mean, if I leave home at 7:20, I still can reach office on time. So, I take this chance to wake up a bit late. Usually at 6:35am I must be in the bathroom already. But now, at 6:55am taking my shower, and leave my house around 7:18am. Actually, I just like the extra time for sleeping, not because I can reach office on time. Don’t get me wrong.

Today I received my Digi’s phone bill. So far, this is the lowest charges I have ever had. It’s only RM 47.50. I’m currently using Digi 1-plan, which means I have to pay fixed charges of RM 50. Well, I think I suppose to use a bit more this month. As I checked my current usage just now, it’s just RM 12.92. Dear All, please use Digi.

That’s all, thank you.

That was the house where i stayed when i was in primary school - Standard 1-5. My house is just nearby, you can wake up 15 minutes before the bell ring and run into the class. Do you see the river behind? Now you ask where did i learn to swim..... What a nice place to grow up..... Click the picture for larger view.

No Idea

It has been a week since my last post. I don’t really have any idea about what to write. I had many things inside my head previously but I just had to drop it since it was very personal. By the way it doesn’t mean that I will not revealing it, only waiting for a good time to do so.

Talking about work….. Well, nothing special about it. Main thing to do is to prepare a set of target for 2009 Performance Index for the profit centres. Damn! I really like it. Although sometime it’s a bit confusing, but I enjoy doing it.

Each and every day, I am counting how many days left before my long holidays. I have 9 days of annual leave remaining. And I plan to take all of it starting on the 18 Dec 2008. Well, I expect some difficulties of getting it approved, but this Monday should be the day to know about it. As for now, there is no need to worry about it. Worry when the time is right.

This week is a week where I had my performance being reviewed. I was requested to think about how good my performance throughout the year and to decide what score I deserved to get. Well, this is more on self reflection. So without hesitation, I gave myself an A (82.4%). Hopefully the Company will agree with this as it will be reflected in my year-end bonus. (After all, who doesn’t want an A anyway…..)

And lastly, I am not sure whether you have seen this, but I got this email saying that the New Proton MPV will much look like this:

A Day

Yesterday I watched this movie at CATHAY CINEPLEXES-KOTA KINABALU. It's a nice movie for me..... I like the storyline and the thrills and the actions..... Apart from that, the hall's temperature was within my comfort level.

By the way, I think the sound system is not as good as the GSC 1 Utama and GSC Pavilion. I've been there many times, so i can tell the difference. Another thing is about the seat. It's shorter where you only can lean your back, cannot lean ur neck and head, incase you want to sleep if the movie turns out to be boring.

Anyway, CATHAY CINEPLEXES-CINELEISURE DAMANSARA, PETALING JAYA, is awesome for me, not others. Probably I should try GSC 1 Borneo to see how it's look like.

I just hope this movie will make my day on the 6th/9 of my holiday. Is it the 6th already??!!! What an envious time. I don't wana go back there!!.

This is my humble house. Inside the jungle. Another panoramic view.... I like panoramic view.

I would like to introduce to all of you, Mr Bintik, a very faithful dog. He never forgotton me, and treated me like a stranger eventhough i only back home once in a 5 months. Thanks God, my look never change since 7 years ago.

As relax as he seems to be in the picture, you should be very careful of him. He bites!!

Last but not least (Betul ka ni?), My sickness getting worse. I really can feel it right now, is's getting worst!!. Why now? Why not in KL? so that i can take M/C. I would like to tell this FLU, that i still have a full leaves for M/C. Please attack me during a time I am eligble to apply for a M/C. Not now!!

So, i came to see the doctor, and see what she gave me. Anyway, my main purpose is not promoting any clinic. When i walked around into looking for a clinic, that was the first clinic i saw, and i hope the medicines they gave me can restore my health back. After that only i can give due credit. hehe.
