Chicken-wuss moment 1

I should really freaggin' listen to that little voice inside my head and stop playing it safe.

Blew a perfectly well placed chance.

Things don't get much more "indirectly and subtly" clearer than that.
NEXT TIME JUST OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND ASK FOR HER NUMBER LA !
CERTIFIED chicken-wuss !

Lamka and the Ran People

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Lamka.
He lived in city called PyJamas in a planet called Mya.

So one day Lamka and his grandfather decided to start a trade bazaar in the capital city of his planet called Kelle.
Lamka and his grandfather enlisted a scholar that was travelling by to help out at this bazaar.
The scholars task which was to inform nearby villages about the bazaar failed miserably.
On top of that, the scholar associated himself with a badly reputed poet which made other poets boy cott the bazaar.

Even though there were many upsets during the bazaar, the overall outcome was quite well.

Because in this trade bazaar, Lamka met a few strange aliens from another planet.
These aliens seemed to be of an advanced race.
Their ability in construction is ahead of any that Lamka have seen.

Upon further discussion Lamka found out that the Ran people have come to his planet bringing a new medical breakthrough drug and would like to share it with the people of Lamka's planet.
Knowing very well that Lamka's planet has been plagued by this uncurable disease, he set out to help the Ran people meet various key people of his planet.

The problem however, was that the Ran people could not survive long in Lamka's planet. This is due to the different atmosphere that the Ran people are accustomed to.
So it was basically a race against time.

Firstly Lamka brought the Ran people to meet the ex-Supreme Ruler of the World to seek advice on how to go about doing things and partly to pay respects, you know being in another persons planet you should have the courtesy of saying hello.
The very short notice meeting was only possible because Lamka's grandfather and the ex-Supreme Ruler of the World are good friends.

The next morning Lamka's grandfather was kind enough to introduce the Ran people to the head Shaman of the world whom ministers to the health needs of the people of this planet.

Soon after that meeting, Lamka brought the Ran people to see the mayor of Lamka's city.
The Mayor of PyJamas was a very friendly guy, spent some time with the Ran people disscussing the weather, eating habits and comparing political structures of the 2 planets.

Later in the evening Lamka brought the Ran People to see the Mayor of Mya's capital city, the city of Kelle.
Now as expected, the Mayor of Kelle was very busy, and the Ran people only had time for a courtesy call. In the short session, the Mayor of Kelle was kind enough to refer the Ran people to his head of departments whom might have more time to thoroughly listen to what the Ran people has to offer.

As the day ended, so did the Ran people's stay in Mya.
Though they part ways for now, many key people of Mya are aware of Rans medicine and the Ran people will still keep in touch with the people of Mya through spacE-mail.
Hopefully there will come a day where the Ran people will be able to share their knowledge and experience with the people of Mya and vice versa.

Tech Ed 2006

So yeah, there I was in KLCC (KL Convention Centre) volunteering for MS's Tech Ed 2006.

It was surprisingly fun, the event I was in-charge off (in other words "kuli"-ing for) was called True-to-Life Halo.
So you get some toy guns and helmets and shoot eachother.
Its basically like paintball but without the paint ... and the pain.

The highlight of the event (to me) would have to be Daphne Iking.
Daphne who you say ?
Well she's a Malaysian Actress very hot Malaysian Actress.
NTv7's Breakfast Show and KL Lights, I think.
*side note : she's getting married next year.So that means she's engaged.

After all the dirty work, the crew gathered in the grand ballroom and chilled.
We got to play Halo on a local area network of erm ... 40 PC's I think.
Didn't exactly kick @$$ in the game, got 3rd placing on average but then again Halo isn't a game I play often or at all.

Since the "specially reserved room" for our stuff (bags and shite) were locked, during most of the whole event, pictures were only taken after most of the events were done.

p.s. I need a haircut.

Camping Trip ! (SY's Fruit Farm) Round-up

So a few things to keep in mind when and before camping.
Not that you have to obey them, but I find that it helps if these few things were kept.

1. Keep your nails short
2. Keep your hair short (for guys)
3. Bring some rope or rafia string
4. Bring a machate or a combat knife . . . or 2
5. Bring a proper first aid kit
6. Bring a plastic bag to seperate your dirty clothes in
7. Bring chop sticks or fork and spoon
8. Bring a lighter
9. Bring some salt
10.Bring some garbage bags to bring back the garbage you came in with
11.Bring sulfur (never really used it myself, but i've seen the difference)
12.Bring someone who knows how to camp

and last but not least,

13.Bring your own "gawd daimn" waterproof shorts*
*cause not all of you are so lucky to have friends like mine : p

Note : This is only a simple list I came up with. There are other things you should also bring along, like clothes for instance. So don't take it too seriously.

Camping Trip ! (SY's Fruit Farm) Pt.3

Sunday, dawn (20th August 2006)

I was still playing keeping the fire going when it started to get brighter,
though I couldn't see the sun rise, I could tell that it was as the sky's shade of grey started to turn light blue.
Like a light dimmer slowly turning, morning came.
As people started waking up, I dove back to my own section of hard and uneven ground to catch a short cat nap before starting the day.

Sunday, morning (20th August 2006)

Woke again just in time to cook breakfast.

- Menu -
Scrambled eggs with onions and maggi seasoning
Bread with tuna in a can
Crab stick on a stick

Not as extravagant as dinner, but that's probably because most of us were already lazy.
Packed up what other food we had left(that we didn't manage/were too lazy to cook ) and passed it to the farmers that were staying there.

After dropping off the food we bumped into SY's father and he told us to get ready to trek.
Honestly, I didn't want to do anything anymore at that time.
All I wanted was just to get home and shower, since we didn't really get to shower properly here in the jungle.

||There were no use of any soap or shampoo through out camp and we didn't even use any form of detergent to wash the utensils and canteens.
This is because the fruit farm we were in is next to a forest reserve so we tried our best not to
pollute mother nature.
I personally would like to have my children have the option of going camping into a jungle and swim in its clean rivers.||
So back at the camp we packed up abit more before leaving on the trek.
We all squeezed into the 4x4 again and were brought some distance up the hill through even more bumpy roads.
We reached a place where the trail ended and started walking from there on.
On the way up on foot, we each carried up with us 2 oil palm trees that were to be planted on this mountain.
The farmers started digging holes for the trees and planted them as we moved up the mountain
.
Dig hole.
Place tree.
Put fertilizer.
Close hole.

SY's father told us that this is a very good farming practice.
This way the fertilizer won't go all over the place and disrupt the environment when it rains.
I applaud his eco-friendly precautions, its something not many people do now-adays.
Its sad how most humans are so short sighted.
Like the freaggin' haze we get from "people" who practice open burning.
Hmmm kind of hypocritical saying that after having such a nice time with fire last night.

Favian, also having to carry 2 of the trees insisted on naming them and volunteered to personally plant one of them.
Hehe Julian planted a tree too (though he didn't exactly volunteered).

Sunday, afternoon - i think (20th August 2006)

We got back to the campsite and SY's father told us that he wants to show us a waterfall we haven't seen.
Again, I didn't feel like doing anything and just wanted to go home.

So we started off,
first trekking across a river where on the other side was this huge durian tree which had TONS of durians hanging from above.
Here about 40 feet above us were maybe 3-5 dozen potential missiles.
It was really a sight to behold albeit a little scary.

After crossing the river and passing the durian tree we headed up a mountain on a narrow trail for awhile.
It was really bad (for me at least) undergrowth was everywhere things were poking, scratching and tugging.
Then the "excellent" part came, we had to descend down a steep almost vertical incline THROUGH foliage.
Haha I was literally doing tarzan shit.
Grabbing unto trees, hanging off one vine then jumping to catch another.

At the bottom we were greeted by another river.
This time our route took us trekking down the river,
the rocks in the river were slippery (running water made them smooth),
the rocks above the river were slippery (due to green stuff on them),
we even body rafted down at one point of the river.

We ended up at one of the rivers that were near the campsite,
and after chilling for awhile we went back to pack up the remainder of the stuff and headed back home.

All in all, I was glad I did then things I was too lazy to do initially.
The trek up the mountain was beautiful and I really enjoyed the trek through the river.
Probably the most adventurous adventure i've had to date.
It definitely goes up there along with the Mount K trip.

If someone were to ask me if i'd do it again, i'd think twice, but i'd definitely be up for it.

Camping Trip ! (SY's Fruit Farm) Pt.2

Saturday, late evening (19th August 2006)

I've lost track of time by now, though it would just be a simple task of reaching for my phone and looking at it, it dawned upon me that it didn't really matter.
Time took an extremely less of an important role in my life at that point.
The only thing that I had to worry about was when was it going to get dark.
Cause by then everyone should be back at the camp and already having dinner.

Its not exactly safe to be out in the dark in the middle of a jungle, there were tigers and wildboars in the area.
Though animals generally don't come into contact with us noisy and destructive humans, it was best not to take chances.

Anyway, by this time the camp was already up and running, and most of the guys were chilling by the river.
Julian on the other hand, decided to build a freaggin table.
A FREAGGIN' TABLE . . . . T - A - B - L - E.

Initially I thought this guy must be crazy, working on building something with limited tools in this hot weather, not thinking much, I decided to help him out anyway.
So what we had were, bamboo, raffia string and 2 parangs (machete).

So we split our work up,
Julian was doing the 4 legs of the table while I worked on the table top.
Favian was there as well and he helped me out by cutting bamboo for the table top.
So there we were sweating bullets chopping and tying up bamboo.
SY came in after awhile and helped us out by chopping the bamboo in half for the table top.
See this way, we only needed 1/2 of the span of the table in bamboo for the table top, means less work and less work means happier lazy guy.

I'm not quite sure you people were interested in the architecture of our table so I didn't post it up.
Towards the later stages of building the table, Johnny came by and helped me tie off one side of the table top while I did the other,
soon after the table was done.

And then there it was, looking down on the table was the feeling of acomplishment.
Here before me was a beautifully crafted table that I helped build from scratch out of bamboo and raffia.

Saturday, night (19th August 2006)

The fire was up by now and first batch of the food were already being cooked.
Table was a BIG, naye, HUMONGOUS help.
I could just imagine doing the food preperations or dining on the floor and half-way breaking my back.
Oh how I doubted thy wisdom, for an act of madness twas really an act of genius.

- Menu -
Roasted fish with maggi seasoning and planta wrapped in banana leaf
BBQ-ed chicken with maggi seasoning
Grilled beef burger with maggi seasoning
Grilled sausages with maggi seasoning
Roasted fishball on a stick
Roasted crab meat stick on a stick*

*Lazy guys favourite

Dinner was good, we had alot to eat,
oh and the fish were caught by SY, Favian and Yoong.
They managed to catch 3 considerably big fishes.
HOW they managed to catch the fish was another story.
Lets just say that the fish didn't come to them.

After dinner we all chilled and played some cards.
It got irritating after awhile having to use the torch lights to check what cards you have every so often.
Cause it was REALLY dark.
I mean yeah you could see the stars but anything eye level is pitch black.
So black the night sky looked grey.

It was not long before everybody started dozing off.
All nice and comfy on an uneven ground with rocks jutting out here and there with little padding in between.
Wish I could say it was therapeautic but the ache I got when I got back on Monday proved otherwise.

Sometime through the night I got up.
It was unbelievably cold and I was shivering.
Upon a short inspection of my surroundings, I saw that a few of us had expected this cold night and were already wearing their jackets or windbreakers.
"Darn", I thought.

Anyway, I found out that I wasn't the only one awake that night,
By the campfire, Favian was keeping the fire up through the night.
He told me that he has been waking up once in awhile to keep the fire burning.
So being a good samaritan and all, i'd thought i'd take over and let him sleep, since I couldn't.

There I was playing with fire, something you don't get to do often or at all back in the city.
It literally had SO much fun, trying to keep the fire up while trying to control the amount and the movement of the smoke that it produced so that it didn't flow into the tent.

It wasn't very windy that night, so I could control the general direction of the smoke by the way the fire was burning.
I contemplated on the amount of firewood we had left, so tried my best to keep the fire burning as efficiently as possible.
But what I soon found out was that less fire means more smoke on the count that the wood wasn't burning properly (also because the firewood wasn't exactly dry) and more fire means less firewood.

Out of sheer boredom (and maybe because of a little adrenaline) I started making really wierd campfire builds to see how efficient I could keep the fire going.
One of the coolest achievements I made that night was the "flamethrower".
Its basically a low-tech blow torch, where the fire is directed outwards out of a make-shift funnel.
Ok ok, so it can't really throw flames or weld iron together, but it was really something, though I didn't take any pictures of it, you're just going to have to take my word for it.
It was freaggin' cool la ok.

Camping Trip ! (SY's Fruit Farm) Pt.1

Saturday, early morning (19th August 2006)

Departed for breakfast at around 6 a.m. ,
Went and had dim sum nearby and man did the dim sum smell nice.
Too bad I couldn't have any, but the gang was nice enough to set up another breakfast session at a mamak place in DJ so I had my breakfast there.

So after a hot cup of milo, roti pisang and maggi goreng we set off on our journey to the campsite.
Journey took about 2 hours, of which I was asleep for most of the trip,
but I did wake up once in a while to see us passing through mountains.

Saturday, late morning (19th August 2006)

We stopped at a nearby town to wait for the second car before heading into the camp area.
It was a small town, about 10 minute walk from one end to the other.
There were multiple old school "kedai runcit" (grocery stores),
you know, the ones you used to visit when you were a kid (if you were around my age).

The thing I didn't notice at first was how the towns folk were looking at us.
Not until a friend of mine mentioned it and after some thought.
It kind of felt like one of those movies where a group of teenagers stop by a nearby town before going into the jungle, and the towns people were looking at them like they were going to die, then shit happens to them throughout the rest of the movie.
Yeah kind of like that for awhile but without the dying part of course.

It wasn't too long before the second group came and we were off towards the campsite.
We stoped by a nearby house to park one of the cars and were all squeezed in the 4x4.
The journey into the farm area was very interesting and VERY bumpy.
It was like how Jim Carrey was acting in Ace Ventura 2 on that straight road . . . literally.
As we made our way through the narrow road SY started pointing out the different kinds of fruit trees he had.

Heheh we even picked up fuits that we saw on the way in. Now THAT was cool.
Like shopping at the supermarket, but rather than taking fruits of the shelf, you pick them off the trees.
And rather than putting the ones you pick in a trolley, you hold on to them with your barehands.
Hahah I officially CANNOT hold durian with my barehands.

Saturday, evening (19th August 2006)

Once we reached near our camp-area-to-be, we met up with one of the farmers and he helped us open up the durian.
Soon after the TEAM went into gear.
Surveying the immediate vaccinity for a suitable campsite,
collecting firewood, chopping some buluh (bamboo) and setting up the tent or what I now like to call a bivouac.

Jason and I had the duty of setting up the kitchen,
We ended up with 2 kitchen,
one for the grill - [which consisted of a hole, kasa dawai and rocks to hold the grill down]
and the other to panggang (roast) stuff - [3 halves of a bamboo, 2 in the form of an X on one side and one more jutting out straight off the ground to rest the stick on].

- End of part 1 -

Wanted to wait for the pics first, but I thought there were already too much time between this and the last post.
So as usual, pics will be updated later.

Small do at Lisa's

Lisa held a small gathering at her place,
mostly from our badminton group.

She had TONS of food, and man there was alot.

Almost didn't have space for desert ...
hehe but then again theres ALWAYS space for desert.

Chilled, ate, cracked ridiculous jokes (hehe), ate, discussed world economics (haha), ate summore.

All good, but the best part was when a few of us opened up Risk!.
Yeah Risk! - The Board Game !

Wohoo ... hahaha apparently someone said something like,

CC: Hey man lets play Risk!.

Man: What ? Who's there ?
AK: Aww man, that'd be so cool. Its been a long time since i've played it.
Man: Huh ? You talking to me?
AL: Man, that shit is going to take all night and the whole day tomorrow.

Man: WTF ?! Stop calling my name !
CC: No, no. It'll be shorter if we use mission cards.

AK: Oh yeah mission cards. Good idea.

*AK reached home at 4am in the morning ... or was it 5am.
I don't really remember.

Group Picture !

Not so group picture !

Oh yeah and playing Risk! ,
has reminded me of my life long plan to take over the world.
Wonder if its still not too late ...

p.s. Pics updated @ http://iam2lazy.blogspot.com/2006/05/dinner-at-de-italiano-place.html

Gathering at Rishy's

Rishy had a small gathering at his place.
Friends from college and work place.
His work place.
The MICROSOFT work place.
Meaning there were going to be MICROSOFT people.
HAHAHAHAHA.
Gonna be interesting.

*PICS AREA COMING SOON*

SO yeah the party was awesome,
there was the 360,
huge arse LCD Monitor
and wicked sound system playing.

Microsoft XBox 360

Of course all that was in the living room ...
the front end of the house.
Where all the MICROSOFT people were hanging out.

In "the back" however, Bae brought over his MacBook.
Hahahaha kind of dangerous if you ask me ...
its like bringing a -will insert funny and witty metaphor in the near future ... maybe -

While in "the back",

Bae explains all the cool shite the MacBook could do,
Bae: Yeah it has this mechanism that detects if its falling.
AK: Yeah, yeah so that it'll stop the HD from crashing.
JC: oOOoh, lets test it!
AK: ...
Bae: Jimmy ... stay away from my Mac.

He then takes puts the Mac safely into the MacBook-bag.
JC: oOOoh,
Bae: No.
JC: that looks fireproof.
Bae: No, Jimmy.
JC: Lets test it !
Bae: No! ... well alright, maybe after I get a cooler looking one ^^

OH OH and brownies !
Oh man ...
they were almost "mystical" without it being actually "mystical",
t'was like magical without being mystical if you know what I mean.

Well i'm sure SOME of you do, hehehe. *nudge* *nudge*

Hey wait a tick ...
for all I know they could very well BE "mystical" brownies.
(don't worry sira, your brownies are still the best.)

Well in the end, I met some of the MICROSOFT people and
they turned out to be normal human beings after all ...
huh who would've thought.
Heck on of them even brought an IPod.

Had a good time in the end and met wonderful people.
Oh and got to play the XBox 360, hahaha which was hilarious.

Heheh I guess
its not the much of the game that matters much
but more of the people you play it with.

World Cup Fun

picture from http://news.bbc.co.uk/

*Note: This whole conversation took place while watching the 2006 World Cup match between England and Portugal.
**Note: everyone there knew that it was an ENGLAND vs PORTUGAL match.
***Note: don't really remember who said what, so the characters were assigned totally random letters.
****Note: Above is a picture of Wayne Rooney on Ricardo Carvalho.

Ke: Hahah look, that guys name is Simão.
(looks at the red jersey portugal player)
Hu: Hahaha See-ma-O.
Je: Whats that funny sign on the ã ?
Ke: Different pronounciation I guess.
Hu: Hahaha See-mae-O.

Hu: Woah that guy is tall.
(looks at the white jersey england player)
Ke: Hahah yeah, look at him loom over everyone.
AK: How tall is Crouch ah ?
Ch: 6 foot 7.
Pe: Haha Crouch is another funny name.

Se: So what does the G stand for ?
(looks at the white jersey england player)
Ch: Gary.
Se: Oh, so his full name is Gary Neville.
Ch: Yeah.

Se: So whats Tiago's full name ?
(looks at the red jersey portugal player)
Ch: THAT is a good question ... I don't know.
Se: But Tiago is his last name right ?
Ch: Should be.
Al: Actually it depends, where is Tiago from ?

Hehehe good times, good times.

RSS.

What ?

RSS 2.0 = Really Simple Syndication
Basically its a format for a family of "web feed" (a document which contains summaries of a particular blog or news website for example).

Where ?

erm ... on the internet ... I guess.

When ?

First version came out in March 1999.

Why ?

Well my theory is that some lazy genius out there was too lazy to hit F5 on his/her favourite pr()n educational website for new updates.
With RSS that lazy genius could just sit back and wait for the feeds to come.
Not saying that I know the creator of RSS or anything, its just my theory.

How ?

Hmm, well what I do is simply click on the RSS button in the address bar when i'm on the page that I want to subscribe to.
Looks like .
Found on the end of the address bar, all the way to the right.

It shouldn't be a problem if you're using Opera or Firefox (the 2 web browsers i've used RSS with).
If you don't have either one then I suggest you download them, cause apparently you have to download an extra software/plug-in for you to use RSS
But fret not, cause I believe most of the newer versions of web browsers already have them in-built.

Other notes.

Theres this other web feed format called Atom.
From what I have briefly read through, its something after RSS 2.0.
Its an open standard unlike RSS 2.0 and was created because there were some issues of deficiencies in RSS 2.0.
Too lazy to read in detail about it.

The wedding day

The bride and groom







The flower girls



The flower guy




The band


2nd Guitarist behind the bassist


Bassis, Vocalist and Guitarist


Drummer


The food


Theres gramps, chilling with the band

OH! I was again the "pokok mangga" bearer.
Kind of like a thing for me, cause weirdly enough i've been the bearer of the "pokok mangga" for all the weddings I was a part of.

Wanted to wait for the better quality pictures before posting this up but I felt that it might be too long of a wait, so I posted it up anyway.
Also the fact that most of the after-wedding-party pics were on the official camera.
Hehehe which I believe was another whole shindig by itself.

p.s. Congratulations Ayah Chik !

Wedding Jam 2 through 4

2nd wedding jamming/practice session.
I think I got the 311 songs down.

Now its down to sharpening the Micheal Buble's and Bobby Caldwell's songs.
A song from the original list; Fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra was revived on the count of an aunty who wanted to sing at the wedding.
Thankfully the chords were pretty straight forward.


3rd wedding jamming/practice session.
Same ol' thing

Beginning to get sick of the songs already, which is really a good sign ... really.
The wedding co-ordinator came by to check the band out.
Hahah some of us (yes including me) (actually especially me) got so nervous that we messed up here and there.
It was better after awhile once we got used to our new guest.


4th wedding jamming/practice session.
Pretty much the last session before the wedding.
Planned out the order of the songs, timed ourselves and did "dress rehearsels".
Heheh not bad, its only going to be infront of about 200++ over people whom 3/4 are strangers.
So no pressure, its only the last session before THE big day.

the small amp packs quite a punch.

from the outside

white green white white ...

... pink !

Wedding Jam 1

1st wedding jamming/practice session.
Nice nice, as in our number of songs were cut down to 7 ^^

Micheal Buble - Save the last dance, Sway
Innuendo - Belaian Jiwa
Manbai - Kau Ilhamku
311 - Amber, Love Song
Bobby Caldwell - What you won't do for love

Learned all the songs that night and was thankful that I didn't have to really play all of them,
(only needed to really know 5 of em)
which was another plus of course ^^

Had a little trouble with the full chords at first
cause i'm used to playing songs with either open chords or power chords
(which in my opinion; are a whole lot easier to use) .

All in all it was good, especially the 'goreng' session the bassis had with the drummer.
Hahah forgot how fun this was.

p.s. Happy Birthday Jas !

Family Meeting

Yeah since an uncle of mine is getting married soon,
the family decided to brief us all on some stuff
(hahah sounds cool, "the family")

One of the itenararies were about the music.
Since there were a few musicians in the family,
it was decided that there would be a band,
consisting of most the cousins.

"Oh great", I thought.
I haven't been playing the guitar in awhile,
so its gonna take some time to get back on the bike.

The songs that were set (after much discussion) (well not really)
are;

Micheal Buble - Save the last dance, Sway

Frank Sinatra - Fly me to the moon

Sheila Majid - Dia, Sinaran

Innuendo - Belaian Jiwa

Manbai - Kau Ilhamku

GSC - Senyuman Ragamu (KIV)

311 - Amber, Love Song

James Brown - Play That Funky Music

Doobie Brothers - Long Train Running

What would i do for love <-- no idea by whom

"Wow", I thought.
How the heck am I going to remember all these ?


LOL then I thought again ...
Oh man ! Just how cool it would playing all these ...
in my baju melayu !

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Shitzer, I got a feeling its gonna be one of those kodak moments.

p.s. Happy birthday May Yee !

Dinner at de Italiano Place

Had dinner at Italianese yesterday.
With a ma badminton group of friends,
had loads of fun in a civil manner of course,
well at least till the end part though,
cause then it was just blatant humour with the camera all the way
: D

The occasion ?
To celebrate Alex's birthday.

The Girls

The guys

*There were actually more people that the ones in the picture, but our cameraman has yet to post up the group pic, but no worries i'm sure it'll come ... within the next decade or so : p

Crazy crazy night.
I believe I took a step forward that night.
A step closer to remembering who I really was.
Cause unlike some, i'm not quite proud of who I really am right now.
Its been like this for quite sometime though.
But maybe, just maybe ... not for much longer.


p.s. Happy birthday Azmir !

- Milestone -

A mere bookmark in time.
Important to some,
a mere moment to the rest.

Getting them gears cracking

The progress of the project i'm handling is going well comparatively.
Kind of glad that its actually moving.
Should be able to reach my personal deadline.

The new supervisor i'm assigned to right now is a whole lot better than the previous one.
At least this one actually shows some supervision and knows what is going on.
The constructive feedback i'm getting is a breath of fresh air compared to the
"Yeah yeah, can can. No problem. Go ahead." or the
"Where to start ? Well just start at the beginning."
bullshite nonsense idiotic statements I used to get.
Plus the new one actually takes the time to reply my emails.

Sheesh.

Yeah well anyway, on a brighter note;
My old mans birthday was today.

He celebrated it by playing a nice relaxing round of golf in the afternoon
before having a nice family dinner with the family.
Haven't gotten him anything yet, but I think there was that subtle hint in between the main course and desert that he wanted an SLK 500 or something within those lines.

So yeah, either he was joking or he's gonna need to wait a few more years for me to (hopefully) get to that financial position.

I'll leave you with a quote a friend told me awhile back,

Smoke, sound and light

Had a wonderful time at a friends birthday party last saturday.
Lots of smoke,
Lots of loud music and
Lots of blinding lights.
The usual things you get at these kind of places.
But it was all good, the company was great so the health threatning elements weren't much of a bother. Plus there were alot of chiques there too ^^

Had slight problems getting in initially,
But thanks to some influential people, we all got in in the end.
That is of course; not without the same old bullshite nonsense idiotic situation I have to go through everytime (well almost) theres an age limit to adhere.

Tall huge burly bouncer (THBB) : I.C. Please
Innocent old me (Cas) : Er .. here.
THBB : *checks I.C. picture and looks at Cas*
Cas : *gives ackward smile*
THBB : You are lying !
Cas : *gives WTF ?! look*
THBB : This is a fake and I know you're lying.

Cas : *tries to peek at the I.C. I just gave to see if it was actually mine*
THBB : *hold it up and away from sight*
THBB : Ok, whats your IC number ?
Cas : *gives "you've got to be kidding me" look*
THBB : *still holding IC close to him as if its the freaggin 6th grade exams*
Cas : effortlessly blurts out IC number with full confidence
THBB : Ok you may go. *Hands Cas's IC back*

Nice friend who handled transportation (J) : Wow, THAT doesnt happen everyday.
Cas : DUDE ! THAT never happened !

Besides the big hu ha at the entrance, everything else went well.
Met some old friends, wished made some new ones, saw the shuffle for the first time,



Nice friend who handled transportation (J) and the b'day boy.

Seriously, this was the only pic I saw fit to be posted up. (at least from the collection I was given)
PLUS there wasn't any pics of the b'day boy and me, apparently due to some focus issues.
Makes me wish I brought my own camera instead, so I won't complain ... much.


OH and the birthday boy got smashed.
LOL 90% evasion my foot : p


p.s. Happy birthday Yoong !
