i finished work early today and decided to have dinner with jie and Nikki. i was with jie and we were supposed to meet Nikki and Ben near The Curve. since it was after office hour and was raining, jie decided not to use LDP, instead he used the other way. when we were about to reach the toll booth (exit to PJ), we heard a loud blow and there, right in front of us, the windscreen just cracked. thank goodness it did not shatter. we called Nikki to tell her about the incident, meet her at her place and jie parked the car at Nikki's house. we then followed Ben's car and we ended up having dinner in a restaurant near Paramount.

i was in Singapore for 4 days but i never buy anything from there at all. didn't go to places, the only place i went to was Parco Bugis Junction (shopping centre) to meet up with my college friends for dinner on the first day. oh and i also went to the mall right next to our hotel for dinner for the remaining days. yes, i know it's pathetic. we were so tired after work everyday, we were like dead fish and we didn't get enough sleep everyday. anyhow, my friends brought me to V8 Movie Restaurant for dinner and the food is quite good. they give complimentary soup to every customers. how nice, free starter before having your main course. Thanks for the dinner, Santi and Merawati.

was supposed to meet Karen at Orchard on 20th, but i couldn't make it because like i've said earlier, too tired. sorry Karen, guess we'll just meet in Malaysia one day.

yesterday evening, i was supposed to wake up at 5:30pm and go to jie's house at around 7:30pm. we'll be having a reunion dinner with our friends from university. i knew that the alarm clock rang and i thought of taking another 5 minutes nap before getting out from bed and get ready. when i opened my eyes again, my room was quite dark and when i looked at the clock, OH MY GOD!!! it's already 7:15pm. SHIT!! immediately i took my phone and started typing a text to jie. then jie text me, asking me where am i. GOSH.. i told them that they shouldn't wait for me and should go ahead with the plan without me. i knew if i am to get ready and leave my house, i'll be there very late. Nikki called me back and told me that she will try to force jie to come to my house to fetch me. DAMN IT. i felt so bad, really bad. so we had dinner at Vietnam Kitchen and after dinner, we went to Kafe 7 to play pool. it was fun catching up with these people again after so long. i've never seen some of them for almost 2 years; exemption to HC, Nikki and jie 'coz we meet quite often. jie then dumped us and went for movie with his friend. THEY WENT TO WATCH DOOM!! WITHOUT ME!! arghh... HC is going to watch that with someone else too. no one wanna watch it with me. :'(

i'll post some pictures when i'm free.

can't wait to go to Singapore tomorrow. i'm not looking forward to work but i'm looking forward to meet my old friends from college. 2 of them went to Singapore to work after graduated from college. can't wait to meet them tomorrow evening.

Karen is not in Singapore. she was supposed to be there last week with her colleagues but there was a change of plan. her company postponed the trip, and she'll be going there on the 20th Oct. well it's still good, i'll still be in Singapore by then. at least we can still catch up in Singapore. duh..as if we cannot meet when we are in Malaysia. well it's quite true, we are so busy with our work that i think the last time i met her was a month ago or maybe more. oh well, i'm so excited. just hope that everything will be good.

how's life? busy busy busy. work sucks and it's sickening but sometimes it's all good if my team members are nice. well what can i say or do about it? nothing but to live with it. this is how i'll get my money, an earning for living every month.

i'm going to Singapore next week for 4 days 3 nights. not going there for holiday but to work. yup, another business trip. just pray that my team members for that project will be nice and good. Karen is already in Singapore, she's there to work too. there's this big exhibition going on in Singapore and her company is involved in it. might catch up with her if we're both free.

can't wait to catch DOOM in cinema. that is if i'm free and if there's someone who is willing to go with me. or else, getting a DVD will be great too, but i'll have to wait for months.





DOOM

Nails in the fences...

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us."

OMG!! my friend who was in Canada just called to tell me that she's now in Malaysia. she's gonna be back here for 2 months and is leaving again end of November. she's not working any longer, she quitted the job she was doing in Canada and registered for a new course, which will start early next year. how i wish i'm as lucky as her, to be able to study and study and study, taking courses after courses until i finally found something i really like. almost all her brothers are working as doctors or something related to medical. so guess what course is she doing next year? yup, you got it, something to do with medical. she's taking Dental Hygienic. she's going to be a dental hygienist. WOW!!! she has done computing, networking, management, office job and now...man something really professional. why didn't all these came to us when we were younger, when we were thinking so hard on what courses to take right after high school? all we think about was computing, computing and computing.

i was stucked in computing too and graduated with a degree and spent so much money oversea but am doing something totally NOT related to what i've studied. we should have think about these professions earlier; dental hygienist, chiropractor, those "white coat" professions. well who ask me to be so stupid!!

i don't like to be disappointed and i don't like the feeling of disappointment. i mean who likes that anyway? being disappointed for a particular matter for once is ok. but if it happens over and over again over the same matter, that really suck. on the 2nd Oct, i decided to ask Trey out for dinner for her birthday, when she told me that she couldn't make it because she's going to have dinner with her family for her birthday too. that i understand and i'm fine with it. then the next day, i wanted to ask her out again for dinner and this time, she couldn't make it again because she's going to have dinner with her family as the dinner on the 2nd was canceled. her brother wasn't free so they're going to have it on the 3rd, that was yesterday. as for today, before i decided to leave my house to find her (i wanted to give her a surprise actually), i gave her a call instead, you know just in case she's not free. i was glad to actually called her first before i leave, as she's going to her friend's house to celebrate her friend's baby's Lunar Birthday. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!! you know how hard it was to be disappointed for 3 times straight?! then you must be wondering, why dinner and not lunch or whateva? well don't ask me why for i do not know how to tell you. that's just part of the plan, the plan i have in my head. ya plan, you see, NEVER EVER PLAN! SHIT!! anyhow there's no one to be blamed. i can't blame her, but i must say that i'm disappointed. this sucks!!

last week, i was in Kota Kinabalu with Rosh. it was a very short trip for us, so we didn't manage to walk around to places and the plan to go to one of the islands was canceled. it was scorching hot outside, therefore we finally decided to settle down in Coffee Bean. chatted for hours and that's when i spilled the beans about myself; yeah she's my friend and of course she knew a lil bout me, but i was disclosing about the guys whom i used to like and the guys who used to like me. i actually shared almost everything with her. i trust her and we really click very well and she's a super nice gal whom i really really adore.

oh ya, i had tiramisu in Coffee Bean in KK and it's so different compared to the one in KL. the tiramisu there comes in a bowl, unlike the one in KL which comes in slices. it tasted better too. talking about tiramisu, the best tiramisu i've ever had/tasted was from Ristorante Rocking Horse in Milan. if you happen to be there, go try it. it's super duper yummy.

yo Trey,

::~*HaPpY bIrThDaY!!!*~::

may God bless you in whatever you may do. have fun and go celebrate with a blast!!

on the 29th Sept, i was in Kuching for a business trip with my colleagues. just for your information, we always work with different team of people everytime. so sometimes you'll get some really nice people and sometimes you'll get the really nasty ones. i was lucky enough to have these bunch of nice people as my team the other day, although there's this gal who turns out to be quite shitty. still i have to work although at times i really do feel like slapping her. *chill*

after having seafood for dinner at this place which i think it's called The Rooftop (that's because the place is located on the rooftop of a building), one of my colleagues was nice enough to accompany me for a walk along the Waterfront (i've never been there before). he's a really nice man (old enough to be my Dad. yes i know, what's with me and old men?? i think it's because they're much wiser and understanding, and they do not seem to have any other intentions compared to the younger ones) and we chatted for hours before we realized that it was already 11pm and we need to leave Kuching early next morning. that's when we decided to call it a night and we went back to our rooms and sleep. i wish to work with him again soon, for i really do enjoy working and talking to him.


Yup, nothing left. wanted to take a picture of the food earlier but we're too hungry.

when we were in the van heading to our hotel earlier in the noon, it was freaking hot and there's no air-condition in the van. i was sweating like crazy and he said that he'll buy me a fan if he sees one. so tadaa...he bought me this while we were walking along the Waterfront (very cheap only lar ok, RM4 only). still, it's something and thanks.
