I have been playing with AUTOCAD for weeks now. Had no idea it was that difficult (and then simple) to operate the software, because I used to think that me, using the pencil and paper would be much faster (and less complicated) than to use the mouse, and the computer to depict structures. Clearly, this software proves to be a very strong tool, well, at least after you've mastered it only would it be a useful tool!.

Anyway, I am not really keen to blog these days, because of this blogger settings. I mean, I already set the font type to Georgia, and after a series of non-stop typing, and preview, the font was still Georgia, AND THEN, AS SOON AS I PUBLISHED THE POST, THE FONT TYPE BECAME UNDEFINED. And clearly, I do not like how some fonts are being used here. Gosh, I don't know what went wrong, because if you've previewed the post, it's going to come out the exact thing right? Well, for this matter, no.
And when the font comes out all wrong, I become boh mood, become sien want to write liao, because if I want Georgia, means I want Georgia, AND NOT SOME UNDEFINED text type, you get what I mean..

Bah! Please Google, or Blogger, I wonder if you'd be able to rectify yourself, because I might just go back to Tabulas, where it is much friendlier to be used, and I'd be able to get Verdana or Trebuchet if I want.

ONLY Suckers STAY HOME AND BLOG ON A SUNDAY.

I found this, while browsing Facebook, this morning. All of a sudden, I'm overwhelmed with the thoughts of the times we spend, back in UTP. This picture was taken, when everyone was in pink of health (not that now we are not!). Look how cheerful we were then.
Now, ALL of us are bogged down with our work, building solid foundations of our career pathways..etc. and we seldom get to meet. The only way we could ever keep in touch, is either Facebook or Gtalk. Sigh.
Early this year, we were still clad in casual wears, planning impromptu trips to Ipoh, cook up excuses to NOT attend our limited classes..and well..look at us now..

I have nothing better to do, so I went online surfing and stumble upon this.



Interesting eh...

How to know if a woman truly treasures you?

- You'd be able to feel the way she holds you when she sleeps. As if you are the only pillar of strength, that she's able to hold onto. And that's how you'll know.

It was after all, a good night's sleep. ;)

I, oh wait, or rather Both the missus and I, were bed-ridden for the past 3 days. It started with her, falling ill first, on a Monday, and then, I caught the ill-pattern, and both of us were eventually ill then.

Initially, I still manage to cook chicken+carrot porridge for both of us, but when the both of us fell ill, we couldn't even move from the bed. We took turns to visit the clinic, were even prescribed the same kind of medicine, and after 3 days of agony, we are now feeling much better than before. Well, the fever that we had, has given us body aches all over. And this morning, I woke up to find tiny red spots over my arms. Well, the missus went all worried, and googled the images of red blood spots, because we fear that it might be dengue fever all along. However, as the day gone past, the spots were obscure.

At first, I was supposed to head to Lumut on Wednesday morning, for a meeting. On Tuesday, my body was shivering in coldness and the temperature was rising. I eventually sacrificed my first meeting with the client, and took a MC instead. I think it was a good idea, because later in the day, I could barely move my aching limbs, what more to drive 3 hours to Lumut.

One good thing about falling sick this time, is my loss of appetite. I could barely finish my portion of food, which could be because of my numbness of my taste senses. I blame all of this, due to the medication I've been taking. Imagine 5-6 pills, 3 times a day. My urine has turned yellowish, probably due to the toxin induced into my liver! I hope I've had better lost 2-3 kgs this time, or else buta-buta sick for no reason! Hehhe..

Jokes aside, tomorrow I HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK. After 2 days of MC, it's high time I return to work.

p/s: Thanks everyone who showed concern. We're getting better now. Thank You.

Was supposed to head to Lumut for a meeting today, but the body system failed on me. Maybe I got infected by HsinYee's germs, that I caught the flu bug, and fever as well. So you can probably imagine 2 "dead souls" lying on the bed, for 9 hour straight. This morning, was supposed to wake up at 5am, and drive to Lumut, but I couldn't. The whole body was weak, and the body temperature was going crazy.

More on weddings...

A friend told me that she would be coming back for her sister's wedding next December, and this is what she said to me,
"Do you want to come and help? But I don't know which side should you be; the girl's friends or the guy's side"

To be honest, I did not mind that statement at all.

I always find it difficult to determine which side should I be on. I mean, most of the jimuis are always in pretty frolic dresses, and I would stand out like a sore thumb all the time.

And the best bit was, this is what she said to me, "Khian, be who you are. Don't let others make you sad. Enjoy life."

Half way across the globe, and suddenly, I miss the times we joked around in the classroom. ;)

I attended a friend's wedding last month. This is my 2nd time to a friend's wedding, ever since I graduated. Does that mean we are growing older now? It's scary that everyone's already gotten into serious relationships, tying the knot, making babies, growing old together with their partners.

Nony (now known as Nurul Asyiqin) was a good friend of mine, back in UTP. We were housemates, coursemates, and we did funny funny things back then. Anyway, I was glad to receive an invitation to her wedding dinner, and was even given an extra invitation to bring a friend.

Nony knew a lot about my stories, and was never surprised/discriminate when I told her that my partners were girls then. I guess, to guess about it is one thing, and to finally hear it from me, is another. Anyway, this entry is not about me, but Nony's big day.

Her guests list was of course, consisted mostly UTPians. The hall was
grand, but one bad thing was we weren't sure of the directions, thus locating it was quite a task! Even the GPS failed on us, leading us to the Police Station nearby instead.

Sharon, Carina and myself

ShiouTing, Me, KeeHui, Sharon, Carina, SheaTeng

I was fortunate enough to be allowed to bring a +1 for this occasion.

With the newly-weds in white. Aah, charming!

At one point, it freaks me out that more and more people that I know are getting married! I mean, this would only means one thing: My parents are going to rush me into one! and would also mean that this bubble would soon burst. Sometimes, it stressed me out because mum would always go "Eh, when you want to paktor??" or she would ask around the relatives if they know any good men around..Oh mi god..

Sundays can get pretty much the same, after working. If I'm in KL, the missus would most probably be home in Klang. It's often rare that she would still be in PJ during weekends. Anyway, there are always exceptions to that, because sometimes, she would make an effort to stay behind, when I'm here. :)
Whenever she's around, we would often sleep in, in the mornings, and then I would be the one who wakes her up at 8, to go for breakfast with me. I don't know why people get so "emotionally-distraught" whenever I tell people that I wake up early during weekends, because most of them would find that so disturbing. Most of the people I know would take the weekends to rejuvenate, to recover their sleepless weekdays. But, me, being me, my biological clock would automatically wake me up, all the time. It never fails.

We went for breakfast, in this little coffee shop..(one of our MANY favourites). And then, home again, for us to catch up with the latest TVB drama "No Regrets". Usually, people would use their weekends, to go shopping, etc. But for us, we tend to go all laid back, and not rush anywhere, well, unless, if there are any special plans. I guess the idea of having to fight my way through traffic, the idea of paying for parking (and the agony of having to test my luck!), wading through mountains and seas of people in shopping malls, kinda serves as a turn-off for my missus and I. Most of the time, we find ourselves splurging, doing our shoppings on weekdays, because there's where the ample parking spaces would be. :)

Today, I went property-shopping.

Yes, no kidding. It was really an innocent lunch date, with SheaTeng and HuiChing, on a Saturday, AFTER WORK. We wanted to try Rakuzen, once and for all, so yeah. So there we were, the 3 of us, busy updating one another on what's happening, yada yada yada...etc...and suddenly, someone raised this topic that she saw this property somewhere, very reasonably priced, and all of a sudden, the conversation got heated up, because prices of properties are very ridiculous now (as you may know!), and the next thing we know, (or I know), we were all seated in SheaTeng's car, heading towards where the properties are.

Guess how long we spend in the show gallery? 2 solid hours, walking here and there, comparing prices, interest rates, etc, and before we left, all of us reserved an unit each. Well, sounds simple right? Like just head into one of the shopping malls, grab what we want, and just leave. The reason I reserved one, is because I think it is worth-while, but you know me, and my impulsive shopping, I didn't dare to leave deposit for it, so I told them that I would like to make reservations first. Erm, just in case I change my mind, (or got off the impulsiveness..hehe), and sure enough, I did snap out of it. Just like I was in a trance when I was in the show gallery. After much considerations, probably it isn't the right time to purchase such an expensive "toy" now. But then again, I have 6 more days to consider before canceling the reservation.

So, today, I felt like an adult, because we no longer talk about what movies are good now, or where can we get the best food around, or what clothing lines are in the season, instead, we talk about property investments now. We've grown up, eh?

With all the hype that's happening, I finally managed to secure a pair of HP7 tickets, on a Friday night. 2 days after the premier showing on Wednesday. The missus has been pretty occupied lately, I've made jokes about her turning into a career woman, and I'd just have to do all the cooking, washing, etc at home. Well, no one is willing to let go of our own jobs at the moment, since our earnings are neck to neck at the moment. Wow, it feels as though I've just gotten myself into a life-long commitment right?

At the centre court of 1U, SK-II seems to have used the White Christmas theme for their product launching.

Gawd, I seriously have no mood to write anymore. It's depressing, because I don't know what to write anymore.

It's not that I do not have the time to sit down and write, but..but...who wants to read an entry about my work anyway, right?
And blogspot ain't exactly user-friendly as compared to Tabulas, and I might just...might just..switched back..who knows..(Woee..I bet most of you would go like "Whattttt...not again!")

I haven't been in the mood to work hard lately, probably because it's almost year-end, and holidays mood are starting..I hope that I would be in KL during Christmas, and not some dirty port/fabrication yard. It's going to be our first Xmas together, and I really want to do something special together. Well, don't have your hopes too high, we'd probably just go to some fancy shmancy hotel, have Christmas dinner together or something..hehe. Oh wait, I might have to head back to Ipoh, since the ENTIRE family would be coming back to Malaysia.

What the toooooottttttt!

Okay, too long to plan ahead anyway. I'm amazed on how this entry started without anything in particular to write about and look where I am now! It's like mental diarrhea, only this is without much solid substance. It's been a while since we last went for movies, clubs, drinks, etc. We've slowly evolved into an OLD, Lazy "married" couple, or probably it's just me. I guess work takes up most of your 24 hours in one day, and by the time we're done, we would be too lazy to do anything.

Like for instance, last night. I went home earlier to avoid the jam due to the thunderstorm. By the time I reached home, it was nearing 6pm, and she has already prepared dinner. We ate up, watched a little tv, and it was only 7pm. Fooled around a little, took a nap, and it was just 8-ish. Woke up, got ready to go out for drinks with the others, and by the time we got home, it was nearing 1am. It was probably an once in the blue moon affair that we leave the house around 9-ish on a weekday, to hang out. We've long passed that period, since the 2 of us have to wake up around 6.30am, so that we could make it for breakfast together, and me dropping her off to work, before going to mine.

Did I mention that our work place are at the opposite ends of the LDP??

Well, so I have not officially own an iPhone yet. Maylee told me that there were stocks available in Digi Centre SS2, but only limited to 20 each day. Plus, to make things even funnier, people have to queue up at 8.30 in the morning to obtain a form, and then, more queuing afterwards.
Seriously, it sounds utterly ridiculous!

Like for instance, after Digi Telecommunications posted a notice on Facebook regarding their promotion of selling Blackberry Torch at RM999, limited to 300 units yesterday, I quickly notify MayLee about that, and told her to rush to the nearest Digi Centre which was at SS2. Barely an hour after the centre is opened (the shop opens at 9am), 50 units were sold off and thus, no more stock. Original price was resumed. Wow, which means the centre only keeps 50 units and people queued since 8 in the morning. (Wahliao, people don't need to work one izit? Perhaps, they took MC or AL or EL)

Anyway, back to iPhone 4, to know that Digi is keeping their stocks, makes me wonder if this is their marketing strategy or they are lacked of iPhone stocks. I'd say they should just update their inventory list, or just tutup kedai lah. To limit 20 piece of iPhones per day, is simply ridiculous. I mean, who's going to wake up so early, queue to get the form, and then more queuing after that?

Because of work, she fell asleep in front of her computer when I went for my shower. I thought she was working on something important, right until I saw "Facebook" on her computer screen. Meh. Anyway, I cleared her stuffs for her, put her in the right sleeping position, off the lights, and went to bed together as well.

My head was banging hard, internally. I woke up..

Oh shit, Maylee just called and tell me there's iPhone 4 stock!..
Okay, I guess I'd just have to finish the post later..if I remember.:P

101 reasons why I love you.

-having to drive to-and-fro on the LDP to fetch you to work, me to Sunway for work, and then repeat the whole cycle again. All these, during peak hours!
My love for you, simply incomparable. :)

I find it difficult to have to maintain a healthy relationship between blogspot, my missus, work, family and myself. Well, I am not complaining, but really, I've been trying to juggle, but to really, finally find that 24 hours is not sufficient to cover all these areas, is quite triumphant. I have never find such pleasure in work, until now. Despite all the complaints I've made about my new job, with its odd working hours, gender inequalities, the scorching sun (which was the main reason of my uneven tan), I find that I could actually benefit something from all that.

Job satisfaction.

But what I really don't like about my work, could possibly be the sudden plans of having to travel to somewhere distant, with a minimal time of notification. I have been brought up to CAREFULLY PLAN and SCHEME my schedule in life, that I find this pretty difficult to adapt to. Like, within 24 hours, you are expected to leave for Johor (FOR INSTANCE!) and like when you inquire about the next date you have to travel, you can never get a definite answer, because THE CLIENTS can never make up their minds on what, where and how to do YET. So, being the lowest in the pyramid of RAT RACE, most of the time, I have sudden assignments jump behind me, and thus, I'm always on the go. Believe me if I were to tell you that I now, live with my suitcase, PRE-PACKED.

However, for the long weekend, I was back in time, for Yenny and Viv's "house-warming" sorta. They moved into a new place, and we managed to make it to their new place at 12 IN THE MORNING. Then the next day, was spent with the missus, here and there, and managed to meet up with MayLee for desserts. Finally I was able to meet the missus's friends, from NZ and was of course amused with the friends she made abroad.
I was kinda affected, because somehow I do miss my OWN friends, and because of work (or I'd say, our careers), we have most likely drifted apart in the midst of insufficient time and different commitments. I do miss the times when I could stay awake until 3-4am, just to hang out, in clubs or in decent drinking places, but now, now it only takes 10pm, to ring my body clock and deactivate my systems inside.

Sigh.

I'm updating from this hotel in Sitiawan. No, not here for a get-a-way, but rather, here for a minor OP. I've meant to update..but don't really have the internet connection and time to do so. You know how new jobs are..you need to spend a lot on time studying new things...

Picture above: Mixed Berries Pavlova, by Alexis Bistro and Pub.
I thought it is known as meringue, but then, in the menu, it was stated "pavlova/meringue". Well, I don't know lah. But the taste, yum!!

Until now, I still remember the chewy texture of sweetness, and the freshness of each berry I sink my teeth into. For RM15, I think it's well worth the "feeling of Orgasm".

This is one of the many pricey lunch I've had in KL. But it was our 200-days anniversary when I promised to bring her for pavlova, and only managed to fulfil my promise weeks later. :)

The whole office is relying on a 5GB broadband, powered by Digi.

Streamyx has to better come up with a good excuse for the delay, otherwise...
*connects fist to palm*

I can't even upload pictures into my blog. Ciiiiiiiii.............pet.
