The 'Funtastic' Festival

Ladies, are u listening?!



The most awaited Year End Sale a.k.a. YES is back! Now, please control urself and hold on to your credit cards (no one carries tonnes of cash around anymore). I know the temptation is hard to resist, heck, spend all you want!

And for the first time ever, Tourism Malaysia is organising the Kuala Lumpur International Buskers' Festival 2006 from 2 - 10 Dec, in conjunction with the Malaysia Year End Sale 2006 and Visit Malaysia Year 2007. There are a lot of activities/events lined up in several areas at the heart of the city, sounds really fun.

Hopefully i can catch some of them during that period. Have a busking good time!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It is the greatest Thanksgiving that i've ever had in years.

A little birdie told me few days ago that i am going to have a surprise today. And guess what made me smile for the whole day?

My new "toy".

I have been wanting to get an MP3 player for some time, so this iPod shuffle is just perfect. Right on time.

Baby, I am all yours tonite! (sorry Nemo*, you'll have to make way for my little iPod).

Thank you so much, dear Santa! U know who u are. I got my Christmas wish granted early this year. *muaks*

*Nemo (the fish) is my companion at nite.

How company policy begins...

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the monkeys with cold water. After awhile, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result. Pretty soon, when any monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, turn off the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm. Again, replace a third original monkey with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four monkeys that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

After replacing the fourth and fifth original monkeys, all the monkeys which have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs. Why not? Because that's the way it's always been around here. And that's how company policy begins...

Happy Birthday Sok Yee & Loo!

It has been quite a while since i last go to Port Dickson. Most of the time, it was a one day/nite trip because i was working in Seremban back then and the journey to the beach only took me half an hour. So me and my colleagues used to go there to hang out whenever we have any public holidays or during those Christmas or New Year's eve kind of celebrations.

With two birthday celebrations on our way, we made plans to go to PD for a night stay. Although it is not the nicest and cleanest beach in Malaysia, but it used to be the most famous place for picnics and family/frens outing.



It was initially a great weather (check out the above pic) when we reached the apartment and we were really excited getting all our decorations and mischievious plans carried out before the main casts arrived. Balloons, spooky instruction notes, party popper, etc. It might look a bit childish with the balloons, but heck, who cares. I wanna be a kid for a while... and play with them.


See the smiley balloons.. made me all happy :)


The long journey made the cake somehow distorted.. *oppss*

As we were about to start the event, the sky seems to have overheard our plans and decided to lend us a helping hand. It rained so heavily, which made the place real scary... one of the bathrooms even had water dripping from the ceiling (fyi, we rented the penthouse).

O_o
O_o

And because of the heavy rain, we didnt get a chance to stroll down the beach this time around. Kind of a waste, but we have no option. -_-

Nevertheless, we had fun. A lot of crazy games and crazy people as well. I am sure we can do something like this again in the future. Next destination, Genting Highlands maybe?


Here is a big love from us for the two birthday girls!


Loo and Sok Yee.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ONCE AGAIN!

And i cant keep my eyes away from this I-Dog... *drools*



I think i have a long wish list for Christmas.. Santa wouldnt be too pleased :(

I miss u

2 years have gone by since you left us with a heavy heart,
Although u couldnt showed it, but i knew it deep within my heart,
Life is never the same ever since we depart,
I could never find some one who could fill that special part.

Life is so short, as u always say,
To enjoy my life, never delay,
I'd look up to you when i had a bad day,
You will always be there for me, each and every day.

I remember one time when we go shopping,
All of a sudden u just went missing,
I cried so bad, i will never forget that feeling,
So glad it turned out, you were just playing.

But one mistake from the doctor we have entrusted,
Came the news that we could never have expected,
An overdose of anesthetic, a decision they've regretted,
Hence, the brain has been greatly affected.

So there u were lying motionless on your sweet bed,
No positive response even when i touched your warm forehead,
I knew it wont be long, as i hold your hand tightly,
Before you said goodbye, and go to the Almighty.

I really miss u alot, my dear granny,
Your love and guidance, will be forever with me.

Lucky number 5

Lady luck is shining on me today. Oh my god, i am so happy now! *dancing*

I was window-shopping with my colleagues just now in Bangsar after a quick lunch, seriously speaking, i didnt plan to get anything at all. That's what i meant by "window-shopping", right?

While they were trying out the dresses in the fitting room of Cats Whiskers, i was just fiddling with the clothes and dresses. Then a thought came to my mind, "There is absolutely NO harm trying one or two without buying it. I will have to wait for them anyways...".

See, i know that was the devil in me speaking to myself...

After a few catwalks in front of the girls, i bought a dress in the end (giving enuff reason for myself - it is for the UPCOMING wedding DINNERS).

But it wasnt a bad purchase after all. Not only the dress is nice, but i paid it using my MBF Lady's Credit Card and voila, my approval code ends with a digit "5"!

I got a RM50 rebate in my next statement! *yes*


Click the image to check out the promo.

Hmm, it's not really that bad to spend. More reasons for me to shop after this.. *keke*

These people really good at coming up with promotions to lure us to buy stuff. And as usual, they knew that we can't resist them. O_o

By the way, check out this iRobot Roomba® Vacuuming Robot. It is so cool! No more vacuuming yourself, all done with the help of this multi-tasking machine. I came across this product from someone. He is a proud owner of one now. How lucky he is..

So do u see urself living in the world of cyborg in the future? Just like the one we saw in the movie I, Robot starred by Will Smith? Yes, be prepared my dear.

Four liquid stages of life

My new "baby"

Not a real baby ok, i was referring to my new application... u know how we IT ppl talk. -_-

Finally, the pressure is off and i can have a good sleep. My project came to an end last nite when it was deployed into production without any issue. I can heave a sigh of relief, no more odd hours sleeping time, no more burning midnite oil, no more skipping meals, etc.. etc. *yay*

While i still have a little time off today before getting involved in another ongoing project, i need to clear the movies piling up in my hard drive (again). I can never clear them on time before another movies/series landed in my laptop. Gotta nail the Silence of the Lamb first!

And i gotta wash my car today, its been weeks since i did that so there is a layer of dirt which kinda annoys me.

Hopefully i will have time to blog more next week.

Too many things going on...

Yes, there were too many things going on lately until i had no time to blog at all. Pardon me for ditching my blog for a while, it has been a tough time dealing with work, test, personal interest, volunteer activities, wedding events and etc. I barely had more than 4 hours of sleep everyday.

I wont go into details of what has happened, but this has got to be mentioned here. I have passed my Latin Dance (Bronze level) test with HONOURS! Read my lips (or should i say, read my word)! Maybe it isnt such a big deal to some other people, but this is an achievement for me. I can still remember how i fret the test day to come, and how i was so worried till i couldnt sleep well at nite, and how my feet will dance away whenever there is a suitable music around (even under the table!).

Now im just gonna wait for my certificate and a trophy to arrive from UK, in about 2 months time... Yippie! :)

Yesterday was yet another successful and great event for my company's Service Banquet Nite. The event started as early as 2pm and ended around 9.30pm, but i was at the hotel for the whole day. I woke up about 5.45am in the morning (after only 3 hours of sleep due to work's deadline) and rushed to the IOI Putrajaya Marriot Hotel by 7.15am. This year, i was in charge of the stage again, where i had to take care of the pins and flowers which will be given away to the recipients according to their number of years of service. There were some hiccups in between, but overall, it was a good enuff.

We invited Amy Mastura, Mohan, a group of Indian singers and some impersonators to perform that nite (there were also drum performance by a group of Chinese students, cultural dances, etc). The one who impersonated Tina Turner was funny. Not only he was a man who is bold enuff to wear sexy outfit and a blown up hair, but he also did some movements or dances which made me stoned for a while. Now dont get me wrong, i am not saying he is not good, he IS absolutely great. But knowing that he is a guy and doing all those things he did, i was just speechless. But i guess that is the objective for the performance, a very good laugh!

And the highlights of the nite was the appearance of Anuar Zain, a down to earth and good looking chap. All the Malay girls were crazy over him. Haha.


Anuar Zain with a bunch of ONers.

And i finally had a good sleep in the hotel. Tomoro will be another battle day for me..
