Throughout our life, we passed thru many stages where we keep on hastening our feets to keep on with the eras we are in. We have no choice but to follow the current pace to keep in times with the developement of our physical mental needs as well as to adapt to the changes of the society and the environment around us.
As we come by such stages, changes are bound to happen. These changes can be good or bad to us. however, we have to accept such changes and makes corrections if there is such needed to improve the value and ways of our life.
Although we are unable to change the environment around us to suit to our liking but then, we can adapt ourself to the environment which we are not used to at the moment.
In order to realise the changes which has been taking place throughout our life, we need to take a lil' time to stop our feet and think about it. Identify the changes and find a solutions or if the changes brings nothing but negative improvement to our life. If one fails to do so, his life is just like a train and the only time for it to stop is only at the next station ot it'll never move again.
As what I've done, I've realise that there is indeed changes in our life and some are considered as improvement which I'm glad to know. But then, some of these are not. ishall not bored waste your energy reading or guessing what changes hid occured for they are redundant to you and you'll gain nothing knowing them for these changesI expereinces are not yours.
However, I do urge for you to do the same before it's too late for regrets. Life is very short for regrets. Therefore, I shall take my leave and I hope you shall think abt what you've done after reading this.
Cheers.

My BANKING Grouses...
Seriously, i can't never understands the mentality of these banks when they decided to stop opening on Sundays morning.
It's very convenient for us employees who could not spare an hour or two out of the office during working hour to slip out to do some banking and we could only do so during lunch hour. As for me, my lunch hour is just 45 minutes and that means I could not make it to the bank which only provides the service of printing out statement.
Even if I can make it, parking will take up most of my time and I'll risk a parking ticket if I were to park by the roadside with double yellow line mark besides it. Worse of all, my car will be towed and I'll then have to spend about RM200+ for the compound to get back my car.
Some private banks does open on Sundays and I truly appreciate their kind consideration for their customers who actually could not visit the banks to perform their banking needs. However, for those who stops such schedules, I wonders what had happened in their head which makes them agrees and decide on such descision.
The bank which I've been blabbering so long is Bank Simpanan Nasional. I've no choice but to stuck with these bank cause my employer uses this bank to transfer my salary to my account every month. So whether you like it or not, you still gotta go back there.
Come to think about it, this bank is nothing worth to be praise about and if I must praise it, I can only praise it's number of branches it has scattering around my city and it's Automated Teller Machines which will never fails to infuriates you everytime you wish to withdraw money from it.
Their ATM is either out of service or out of cash no matter when you go. Either on weekends or an hour after the bank closes. It never ceased to amazes me and makes me wonders just how much they keeps it their ATMs. So much for having plenty of branches.
What the use of having numerous branches when none of their facilities can be access when one needs them urgently.
The staff is either slow in processing our needs or display an attitude of nonchalant when a question is asked or request is made. Their attitude only delays and makes the queue longer and this waste our valuable time.
Over the years, other banks has adopted various moves and improvements to keep themselves ahead of times to provide their customers faster and better service and yet this bank is just standing still where it had been 10 years ago. This portrays their sense of directions and their attitudes in the business which makes me confuse how did this bank survive till date.
No matter who I talked to, the moment they heard of this bank, bad criticism are sure to fill the air and in the end of the day, we still have to go bank to the bank to withdraw our hard earned cash.
Frankly, I really wish for them to improve themselves so that we, the customers of this bank will at least feel proud of using it's facilities and not shy away from this topic whenever it's brought up. I'm tired of using this bank, to be frank.
Cheers.
A Boring Friday
Outside is sunny with no signs of cloud which might indicate a rainy evening... Yet, in the office where I'm now typing this blog, the room temperature is just right with two 2hp air-con cooling this room.
I'm sleepy now in the afternoon while testing my broadband line to understand why the heck did Skype cause so much of a trouble for me yesterday. It makes me tired running up and down coz almost everyone complaint of not able to log into the mail server in Singapore to download their emails.
However, today seems to be very peaceful and the line is at it's peak performance without any hiccups, i hope it can last me until 1700 hours where I shall exit from the factory gate to renounce my freedom of the day and wait until 2200 top see my Princess again, albeit it's just a short meet, I'm content.
With the rules of coloured drinks or food, even snacks are allowed in this office, I'm tortured and my eyes tried very hard to stay open knowing that the time crawled ever so slowly towards 1700 hours. Why the heck did I create this rules exactly 8 months ago. Why the heck did i create a list of rules which taken 1 full page of an A4 paper then? I'm asking myself.
The office has been quiet and my desktop do not those constant pop-up from my Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger ICQ or even Skype... Talking abt this, my colleague in Spore just did it. ASking for contacts of the staff who got the priviledge of using Skype in the office.
At least there's something to occupy me, I shall be kept bz for a while before I roam the factory for more task to be done and to make my time speed up so that I can regain my freedom faster.

The most wonderful day of my life.
Today is 20th April 2006. Nothing special this morning and I engage a normal chat with the girl of my dream as usual after she got ready to work and waits for the time before she leaves home.
However, in an unexpecting twist of fate, it become a very special day for me. A day which would definitely change my life. Now, I'm just too overjoy to work.
What happen, you may ask. One week ago, I proposed my courtship to a wonderful gal I knew almost a month ago in a quite stupid way and compensate with a declaration of my love to her in my blog. Yes, I'm crazy to do so, if some say I'm. But I'm crazy about her and I don't mind anything just to be with her.
Since that proposal, I've been in constant worry that she would not accept me and couldn't sleep at nite just thinking abt her... I'm total mesmerize by her. She's the most wonderful woman I've ever met and it's not hard to fell in love with her.
She's a lady who looks great with a smile on her face and always so cheerful that makes forget all worries, troubles which lurks in your shadow. Her confidence are so alluring which brings out the light in her and makes every head turns.
Anyway, what is it that makes today a special day, you may ask or you might have guessed it already.Yes. She has willing to give a try. She's in one way or the other accepted my courtship. This morning, thru msn. She wants to give it a try although she has do not know how will our relationship work out.
I'm on cloud nine now and everything seems so wonderful and no words are able to describe my happiness. I felt like a most wonderful dream come true and I'm so blessed in my lifetime. She's all I ask for and I will treasure her and love her deeply. I've went around my office telling my coelleages who I've confided in this issue and they are too happy for me. Congratulating me and giving me high five. My smiles spread over the office no matter where I went and nothing can bring me down today. Nothing, I mean nothing.
From today on, I shall dedicate my life to her loving her, making her happy, and protects her from every harms or sadness that my come her way. I'm gonna work hard to provide her the best of everything money can buy although I may just a pauper and don't earn much. For she's my everything besides my families.
And also, I wish to thanks my friends who has been very very supportive and helpful in every way they can which includes helpful advices, encouraging words, and positive supports. You guys knows who you are and I know no amount of thanks are sufficient for those helps you've rendered all these while.
Cheers to a happy future.

The result is quite interesting and while some of them don't really make sense, but then, it does provide a good laugh especially after a 2 hour meeting session with the boss which does not result in any conclusion and all everyone does is pushing the blame and trying to reveal the ugly side of the other to the boss.
haha... It was so hillarious at some of those statements and do allow me to go one by one on the trivia:
1. 98% of similarities in our DNA?? then wouldn't most of our thoughts will think much alike and have similar characters.
2 And I've always thought they are winking at me at the bar and food court... Wat a cold hard truth.
3. I'm really wondering how much gondolas I've owned when I've never been anywhere that is in the continent of Europe... have I inherited some vast fortune from a unknown relatives of mine?? Gotta ask me mum on this... hehe

A Ghastly Experience
The clock tick non-stop of the computer table beside the monitor as I typed on the keyboard non-stop to reply a few other friends message thru msn messenger. I once a while turn to my back to see out of the windows which had been a habit since I'm active chatting online some years ago... The backyard is dark at nite as the light is spoilt and I never bother to repair it.
"We don't go to the back so often" says my mum when I suggested to repair it. So, we leave it as it is.
The nite was humid and dry without any breeze of cool wind to stop my sweat from wetting all over my body and all I can get is just the table fan whizzing left and rite as it supposed to be. That little fan does no help to bring down the room temperature but it does makes me more irritated with the hot guzz of winds blown to me...
I've already been surfing on the net, chatting online with some outstation and oversea friends for about 2 hours ler...
"Maybe it's a good time for a stick" I thought to myself.
Without needing an answer for that lil' question, I get up from my chair and proceed to the dining room to get my ciggarette which I've left it there. I had my previous stick at the dining room after dinner over a cup of hot and fragrance nescafe which my mum made me everyday. Flick the lighter and light the ciggarette in not more than a moment one need to blink his eyes. it's a natural. I've been smoking for many years already.
With the ciggarette lighted and puffing away happily, i took a glance of the living room to make sure my mum is there watching her routined serial drama. She replied to me when I called her. That was just for fun... Once a while, I would just shout out for my mum and she knows that I'm just playful.
I returned to my furnace and closed the door. Hopped to the chair and return to wat was I doing just now... All the while, my ciggarette is either on the ashtray on the computer table, or on my lips, puffing away. It doesn't take long to realise that the flame is already near my lips as I can feel the heat intensely on my lips and the smoke smelled different too.
Without looking at the ciggarette but on the screen, the ciggarette is being disposed into the ashtray which was forgotten after a short while. My hands then returned to the keyboard and keep itself busy typing away replies on the keyboard without noticing something was different now.
Temperature started to drop as chill winds start blowing thru the windows to the room. My hair behind my neck and arms stands when wind touched me. I sensed something behind but I did not want to turn around to conform my senses. But somehow, it's really weird with the sudden drop of temperature of the breeze that now I experience and I'm sure it's not natural.
I therefore, chant a string of prayers in my heart and brave myself for the surprise that are behind me. Such occurence are nothing strange to me, but I've never had them here at home. My own nest of comfort. And I'm sure I'll never let anything cause havoc in my house. Not in my home sweet home.
So, after hesitating a while, I turn my chair and I saw a blur figure standing at the black backyard of my house. I could make out the figure as a woman from the long hair(very common from horror story, rite). And a sleek figure she once had when she was alive. There wasn't much features on her face as the long hair blocked most of the lights from the neighbour. But then, no mistake it's a woman and I'm quite sure of it.
It stood there for a moment and I observed it for quite a while before I spoke. I do not want any trouble with such things at the moment and therefore, I was quite stern with my words.
"If you do need any help, I do not think I can be of any" I told her.
"It's better you leave now peacefully and not disturb or disrupt anyone's life as we do not belong to the same kind and it's better to leave each other's life at peace." I said, after a short pause from the previous sentence.
I look at her sternly still sitting down on my chair without budging a single inch. Freezing breeze still lingers on the air around me and my hairs on my body are standing now. I wasn't wearing any shirt as it was a hot night. I do not really like such breeze as they only bodes ill.
She kept standing there silently and after a few minutes, it was gone in a flash. Just dissapear to thin air just like that in the blink of an eye.
And I just turn around continuing what I was doing just now and forget this matter totally.

What is happening to everyone??
In regards to the Danish cartoon which features the holy and respectable One of the Muslim religions, I couldn't believe it that the followers followed every words of their umrah so blindly.
As I understood, this caricatures was once featured in the Egypt newspaper and not a word of negativity had expressed about it. Now, the world are angered by the Danish actions. Why? Just because a few speaker went to a Middle East country and aggravated the situation and make a mountain out of a molehill. I just don't get it.
Can't the followers or listeners stop for a while and think before they start running around causing disruptions and havoc? What benefits do they get from all these? In the end of the day, people died or injured, countried making lose in all ways. I don't see any sense in this. Let things be settle in a peaceful way and open our ears to listen. I think there are much more than what we hear and see over the media. Be it the newspaper, radio channels or news broadcast over the television or even some article in the internet.
And the speakers, they are public figures in the Holland Muslim arena's and can't they think properly before causing such an unrest among one race to another. What do they get when the world aren't peacefuland fighting against each other. What teachings that they had in their younger days to promote unrest as I don't remember any races/religion promotes war and fighting. Violences against one another is never a way to settle a grudge and never discussed or emphazises in any bible or any sutra of any religions. On the opposite, we are teached to settle an issue peacefully and to be forgiving.We have no rights over another individuals rights and no matter what status one holds in the society.
Therefore, I do not understand why they who claimed they are loyal followers of certain religions would act blindly upon some aggravated words which I believe to create unrest and sord discord against one another. It's to my dismay that they even take the laws into their own hands. If that is so, why is there a governing body in a land which we call them the GOVERNMENT? It's their job to settle things diplomatically and amiably. Somehow, they seems to forget about this and decided to be the HERO for once.
Hero no more exist in this modern era and everyone is equal. Striving hard for himself, his family, the society and the country. Otherwise, one won't improve mentally, technically in life. Society do not prosper and lifestyle will still the same. The country will never improve.
Total world peace is hard to achieve but then, if everyone does their bit to contribute by being more forgiving and tolerant, it can be. Not much, but then, at laest such things would not happen. Innocent life would not be lost and all of all, we can live happily day after day to our golden years.
Isn't that nice if we can roam the street of every corner of the world amidst all these advance technologies knowing that we'll be replaced one day by machines which only have programmed logics to operates it's day to day job, and the fast paced dog-eat dog world, without having to fear for any uncertainties which might result in losses either monetory or physically. These can be achieve, but, not in the near future. It has been the way where ancients ancestors live their ways but then, somehow, in this modern era, people wants more things thus their greeds knows no bounds and do not think twice to use uncscrupulous ways to get what they want. Thus result in all those incidents we read on the newspaper whether we like it or not.

In the end of the day, people died or injured, countried making lose in all ways. I don't see any sense in this. Let things be settle in a peaceful way and open our ears to listen. I think there are much more than what we hear and see over the media. Be it the newspaper, radio channels or news broadcast over the television or even some article in the internet.
And the speakers, they are public figures in the Holland Muslim arena's and can't they think properly before causing such an unrest among one race to another. What do they get when the world aren't peacefuland fighting against each other. What teachings that they had in their younger days to promote unrest as I don't remember any races/religion promotes war and fighting. Violences against one another is never a way to settle a grudge and never discussed or emphazises in any bible or any sutra of any religions. On the opposite, we are teached to settle an issue peacefully and to be forgiving.We have no rights over another individuals rights and no matter what status one holds in the society.
Therefore, I do not understand why they who claimed they are loyal followers of certain religions would act blindly upon some aggravated words which I believe to create unrest and sord discord against one another. It's to my dismay that they even take the laws into their own hands. If that is so, why is there a governing body in a land which we call them the GOVERNMENT? It's their job to settle things diplomatically and amiably. Somehow, they seems to forget about this and decided to be the HERO for once.
Hero no more exist in this modern era and everyone is equal. Striving hard for himself, his family, the society and the country. Otherwise, one won't improve mentally, technically in life. Society do not prosper and lifestyle will still the same. The country will never improve.
Total world peace is hard to achieve but then, if everyone does their bit to contribute by being more forgiving and tolerant, it can be. Not much, but then, at laest such things would not happen. Innocent life would not be lost and all of all, we can live happily day after day to our golden years.
Isn't that nice if we can roam the street of every corner of the world amidst all these advance technologies knowing that we'll be replaced one day by machines which only have programmed logics to operates it's day to day job, and the fast paced dog-eat dog world, without having to fear for any uncertainties which might result in losses either monetory or physically. These can be achieve, but, not in the near future. It has been the way where ancients ancestors live their ways but then, somehow, in this modern era, people wants more things thus their greeds knows no bounds and do not think twice to use uncscrupulous ways to get what they want. Thus result in all those incidents we read on the newspaper whether we like it or not.

A Tired Day
Gawd,
I'm so tired today after a lengthy nite of DIY installing a TV console. All because to save that RM20. I spent a total of 6 hours installing the TV console with the helps of my mum.
It looks very simple when I was at the furniture shop and in the end of the bargaining, I offer them RM20 less if I would do the installation all by myself. All their driver gotta do is just to drop the thing at my house. The rest I settle. Not knowing the efforts and hassle then.
The actual truth, there are more screws hidden and one couldn't imagine the number of screws are being used to hold the TV console. I was quite stunned when I see the pack of screws and I was thinking do they really need all these screws? Believe me, they do. I lost count of the screws I used. I often see people doing installation and I think it's an easy job.
However, equipped with half knowledge, I tried veturing my own. I learnt new things and experiences are gained though. hahaha
However, I'm totally satisfy with the end result. After all the efforts, I can say I gain 100% of satisfaction. Although some minor issue crops up, I still managed to save it and make it look nice for CNY.
I've been wanting something like that to replace my old TV console and I've made my dream come true with RM280 and 6 hours of work. What more could I get. As the saying goes, "U gotta work for it, man". Thatz is true somehow, in my case.
By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my friends, readers(if there's any) relatives and all blogger a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!
Cheers.

Annual Bonus
It's time of the year again and everyone been talking abt it. It seems to be the reward which are totally taken for granted nowadays. Bonus are said to be compulsary to award to the employees. But then, according to the labour law, they are not. The employers has the rights to award the bonus they deem fit.
Some is happy with what they got, and some just laments over it. Well, it has been a norm among the working class no matter what field one is venturing in. This is the days where "Bonus" in one way or the other, influence how your New Year is gonna be and watz your plan.
As for me, news is out and I'm still in the dark whether I'll be getting it or not... Quite worry abt it though... Got bonus, very happy... or else, die standing. After all, it's money that makes the world go round, ain't it. Be it is the source of all evil or source of respect and powers, it's still the fundamentals for survival nowadays. As the sayings goes, Cash is Power...
I do hope for a full month bonus but then, I don't really place my hopes to high. Just hope that I'll have enough will do.
So, have you got your bonus?? Happy with it?? I hope you are. For those who do not get theirs, don't be despair. For it's time for you to hop to a better prospect. Or maybe I'm wrong... Whateva it is, I wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year with prosperity and happiness.
Cheers

Something weird happening around me
You know, sometimes weird things do happens around you no matter where you are or when it is. You just couldn't control it. They just come as they like.
This thing happens to me a few weeks ago until now. In fact, I don't even know when this started.
Every night when I sleeps, normally around 2 or 3 something in the morning. I would sleep soundly without any dreams or nightmares as I'm just too tired. But then, few weeks ago, I got this dreams which I don't even know whether this is true or just a dream. But then, everything looks real. Believe, I know what is real and what is just an image which are being manipulated by the sub concious based on wat we have been looking or hearing when we are awake.
My dream is like this after thinking and thinking for days. I would wake up in a car (which is not mine) and beside me is my friend. A very long friend which now I've no chance to chat with him anymore. Letz us not dwell further on this, shall we. :)
After that, no matter how I wake my friend up, he would not wake up and just murmurs that he's tired and ask me not to bother him. Then shortly, a young man around 23-25 years old would appear from nowhere standing outside of the car. His face has no expression and he seems to be staring into the blank although his sharp protuding eyes are staring my ways. After a while, he uses his hand and gestured for me to come out of the car. I refused, and stayed in the car. he then cried. I was confused.
His cries somehow hurts my heart and feels sympathetic. But then, being used to all these, I know that I shouldn't open the door. Or else, it's "Bye Bye Mortal World" to me.
After a while, he dissapears and I wakes up.
The same dreams would go on and on everyday until last night. As I'm not free to check for the details of that man, I shall not venture further.
Well, do you have such occerence as well?? Letz share them.
Cheers.

My 2005
Many many things had happened throughout this year. Be it happy moments which are precious memories or sad events.
I've made many many friends and also gain alots of experiences this year too.
Friends are made, some turn out to be nemesis. I'm glad I made such friends and there are some I would rather forget their exsitences. And come to think of it, I think I should look back for my old friends. maybe that's what I should put as my 2006 resolutions.
Whether you like it or not, they work it this way. No matter how hard you try, they still turn their head against you. Whosever fault is no more important now. As for those friends, I wish to thank them from the bottom of my heart for their guidance, assistance in every way. You know who you are.
I ended my 2005 as how I started them. Sad and despair. A moments ago, I was recalling what has happened throughout the year 2005. I smiled and I frown. Mixed feelings.
A lot of things happened to me too. Only a handful are worth to keep as memories. As for the rest, let it be buried and taken as experiences. After all, I always believes experiences is what would mould a man.
Anyway, a new year is here and I wish everyone who reads this Happy New Year and I hope the world would turn to be a better place and everyone in good health.
Adios 2005, Welcome 2006. Let hope the year 2006 will be a splendid year for me and I wish myself may I be successful in what I'm planning now.
Cheers.

One of my grouses...
Try imagining this situation:
As you reach a Traffic junction, you realise that the queue was longer than usual. Peeking thru the side mirrors, you can see that the queue is stacked up in a short while. it's been a while and the queue wasn't moving. Your mind is running with all the possibilities of what might happened in the front with full of imagination, the traffic light is spoilt, an accident happened and all sorts of thing which could come in mind. After 4-5 minutes as u get closer to the junction, you are still puzzled why is the long queue as the traffic light is working, the traffic is smooth. But the queue is not moving. When it's finally your turn to cross the junction, then only u noticed a Traffic Police is manning the junction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is wat I often had to bear. 10 minutes of queue for a traffic junction when I needs only 3-4 minutes usually. And I've to bear it for two times whenever I'm on my way to fetch my mum from my work place.
I personally feel that it's an irony to have a traffic police to man a Traffic junction when the traffic light is working perfectly on a peak period. I do not think this is neccesary and it's a waste of manpower to station a person there just to extend the waiting time for a traffic junction. All the wait is unncessary and this not only waste of time but also a waste of manpower and national resources.
I appreciate the effort of the existence of a traffic police but then, i do not think it is neccesary for him/her to intervene when the automated traffic light is working fine. In time like these when commoners are rushing home to rest or dinner, such long waiting period can be very stressful and frustrating.
However, whenever the traffic light is down due to heavy rain or god knows the reason why, I can never see a traffic police there to take charge of the traffic. Where has they all gone to in a time like these when they are needed the most??
I've nothing against the traffic enforcers but then, I feel that their manpower allocation is all jumble up and not according to the needs of the people. Many a time when I hope there are a traffic police to appear but they are just not in sight, but then, when least expected, you can see a bunch of them ambushing traffic offenders. Which is a good thing in one way or the other.
Frankly, I do not think there is a need for a Traffic Police to intervene with the automated machine especially it's working fine and in order. In fact, such intervention only brings negative or unwanted result instead of improving the current situation. Machineries or automated electricals may not be flexibles but then, it does it job as supposed to and I guess everyone is fine with it. Why is there a human to make matter worse and in the end of the day, only to result in grouse and stresses and complaints.
So, do you experiences such situation before and care to share with me??
Just my grouses... Nothing personal about it.

Mo Sheng Qi ~ ~<<莫生气>>~ ~
I've just learn a new words today and I find it very very meaningful.
As I'm considered illiterate in Chinese, do allow me to put them in hanyun pinyin.
"Bie Ren Qi Wo, Wo Bu Qi,
Wo Ruo Qi Shi, Zhong Ta Ji,
Yao Shi Qi Si, Mei Ren Ti,
Xiang Xiang Hai Shi Bie Sheng Qi"
AS the saying goes:
If others make u angry and you are not. But if you are angry, you've fallen to their traps. If you happened to die of anger, then no one can replace you, therefore, why is there a need to be angry.
This word of wisdom teaches us to be patience and calm. Never get angry over anything as it does not help in anything. In fact, anger only makes matter worse most of the time and will not help in solving the problem at hand.
Thus, isn't it better to be calm and think wisely before reacting??
After all, it's never wise to let emotion to control you, don't you think??
Furthermore, whether biologically or mentally, being angry can lead to stress and depression which eventually causes negative effects to our mind and body and also affects the people beside us. On the other side, being happy and cheerful will make us more healthy in mind and this may be a very important aspect to a successful life.
I've been requested to learn this by heart and put this to practise from time to time. I hope I can but then, I dare not promise anything but only try my best.
How about you? Do you agree with the words?

My favourite supper
Do you have the habit of eating supper??
You may or may not, but then, I do. It's sort of an important, cannot-miss meals of my day. Without supper, I feels of lacking something and couldn't sleep. I start having such habits since I was young and all thanks to my mum, all these "cravings" are satisfied with her wonderful instant ideas. Till date, I wonder how she does it. Those came out on the plates from her kitchen are just wonderful which makes u hunger for more. hahaha. Thanks Mummy!!
Wat do you prefer for supper?? Something heavy which makes u full or just something light to fill your stomach to stop those growls. Some goes for extravagant meals as though they wanna skips breakfast to save time and some prefers light like breads or just a cup of Milo. Everyone has their own preferences as we might not share the same lifestyle albeit we are from the same country.
Aniwae, let's go back to the main point and stops all those blabberings, shall we??
My preference for supper is something which just fill my stomach and satisfy my hunger. Something not too light which might not be filling and something not too heavy which I won't feel heavy the next morning. And I've just the thing which fits these bills perfectly.
What is it??
It's something local which actually invented from the west.
It's actually from a humble beginnings yet the result are truly worth to be salivated. Even the thought of it now makes me drooling.
It's something simple yet the taste shames branded franshises.
Wat is it??
Care for a guess??
Did you guess it rite?? Yes, it's Ramly burger.
Plain lil' stalls equipped with simple tools and which are commonly found on the roadside attended by several young locals lads in the neighbourhood. No fancy menus, set meals, gimmick, advertisements promotions. The only thing there is just a flat wok, a rack which houses two glass panes to stores the neccesity of the trade. How simple compared with branded franchises. The only thing to identify them is only by the big big sticker on the stalls that shows a burger and the word "Ramly Burger". No poster, or a mascot. Nothing at all. In fact, you don't need to be a millionaire to invest in this. All it takes is just less than a thousand.
But then, do believe me what comes out from the efforts of these lads are truely wonderful. They really got me hooked somehow.
There are plenty of variants of burgers i.e Chicken/beef burger, banjo, hot dog, special/double special chicken/beef and lotz lotz more... You'll be surprise that they are actually better than those commercials giant in many ways. Hard to believe but true.
No french fries, coke or coleslaw to go with it. But then, it's cheap, convenient and simply irrestably delicious.
And the best part, they only uses simple seasoning sauces like pepper, curry powder, spices, soy souce, mayonaisse and ketchup. Thatz all which makes it so irrestibly delicious and makes u wanting for more.
So, did I tempt you with what I wrote?? Are you hungry now?
Do take a drive around your neighbourhood and get one to test it out. Guaranteed Satisfaction.
So, till next time, cya.
Cheers.

But then, those pix in michelle's blogs about wat she had during her trip in KL was tempting and my stomach was rumblings furiously demanding for something to fill it up...
So no choice lor, looked around the house and finally found this:
So, I without any other choice of supper, and my stomach is rebelling... I decide to go make this as my supper. After all, beggars can afford to be choosy, rite?? hehe
I got this Kaya cake from the factory 7th month prayers "goodie bag" and I had a whole packet of them which looks like this:
Knowing that no one else at home would eat those, it will be left to rot in days to come. So I thought, "wat the heck... dun waste it."

A new friend
I'm actually waiting for my friends as they are on their way here from KL. And till nw I've no idea what time they will reach.
Anyway, as the topic suggest, I'm to tell something wonderful happened to me which did help abit on my depression.
I was depressed after a series of happenings since saturday nite. Practise session did not go well as I couldn't concentrate and on Sunday, I was benched because my car broke down in the midst of the session. I just coulnd't believe my luck.
As usual, I return to work on Monday and the first thing I do is to switch on my computer and log on to MSN Messenger and open Internet Explorer and get into the forum. The forum has always been a wonderful place for me to get rid of Monday Blues but then, this time is difference. I saw alotz of new post but I just do not have the mood to reply them which I would normally. I read them and they don't seem to attract me to post and in fact, I felt tired reading them. And so, I would chat with Zendened. A guy working in KL which I find pleasures talking to him (me not gay,just that this guy had a lot in common with me.)
After a short chat with Zendened, I noticed a popup on the left top area informing that someone added me to their msn. I thought it was another member from some forum since I've posted my address wherever. Thus, I approved to add this new friend. Not knowing wat surprise it will bring.
After a short while of adding the new friend, I was aroused by my curiousity (as always, it had give me good times as well as bad times), and I took the initiative to start a chat to establish the identity of this new friend.
The reply is quite unique which is "It is not important, I'm looking for friends." Well, fine with me. Another friend will never hurt. So, I continue to chat with this new friend and I learnt that she are going some rough patches through her life and are now depressed. I gave it a thought and felt that her depression is more serious than me and thus I decided to leave my depressed feelings aside and help her... hahaha. How irony is that, a depressed helps another depressed.
Well, after a day chat, I managed to change her and felt she has gotten cheerful and I was quite pleased and we continued to chat. That day, I was quite happy that I could help her and we chatted for a few sessions throughtout the day.
This gal. When i knew her on Monday, She was a sad, unconfidence gal who gave up on everything. However, after 5 days of chatting to her and talking to her through the phone, she was actually a very good gal with a caring, considerate and a lady with plenty of good qualities which I would like to keep them to myself. Sorry...
However, she's just confused and needed someone to talk to her so that she can forget about those unhappy experiences and get on with life. I enjoyed chatting with her no matter online through the msn or the phone. And I find comfort when talking to her and looks forward to the next sessions of chat with her. And I sincerely hope she also felt that.
I really don't know what my mum will do when she sees the phone bills though. hehe
Lastly, she's a girl worth every effort of me to befriend and I shall treasure her no matter what her identity is. I do not regret adding her to my msn or taking the initiative to chat with her as this efforts has paid well.
Gal, treasure every seconds of your life as we only lived once. I'm happy and grateful to have a friend such as you.
Cheers.
By the time I published this, I've chatted with her on the phone and Alan and gang has reached JB finally. So, I'm going out to bring them for supper.

Wat happened to me??
I don't know wat happened to me lately but I can sensed that i'm been depressed. Everything lil' thing can be translated to negative to me and I just can't help it.
After some time I've said something or done something, I began to regret wat I've just said. I don't mean what I've said but I was like being possesed. Thinking about things which I don't want to think of or even not intent of.
Maybe is because of what happened recently and I'm very troubled about this. I don't know what is the outcome of this issue and I'm very worried about this. Although I've already enlisted some assistance, but I'm still not assured. I do not doubt them. It's just me.
However, I don't think this is a good excuse for what I've done. I just hope my friends (they know who they are) understands what I'm going thru.
Cheers.

A stroke of inspiration
.jpg)
A stroke of inspiration came over me just now and not to waste this rare opportunity, I used them with great effect turning some unwanted junk in my office to things nice to see and nice and used.
1.jpg)
Pen Holder:Was done using a an empty Miss Elizabeth Clarke Herbal Candy can that was in my drawer fer a long long long long time. Now I've with that stroke of inspiration, I've got an idea how to do something out of it.
In order to cover the can outer appearance to make the pen stand looks a lil' classy and attactrative, I make use of some wrapping papers leftover and wrap over it...
After that, I used a silver thin ribbon and tie around it fer a lil decor on the appearance... Now, I feel the pen stand a lil' more better. hehehe
.jpg)
So, the above pix is the before and after of the pen stand I was blabbering abt. Nice eh??.jpg)
Notepad:
This was done using some recycle paper and a invitation card from a merchant for a fashion gala.
The invitation card are used for the cover.
i cutted the recycle papers halves just nice for the invitation card. Then I punch holes on the cutted paper and bind them with paper fasterner.
After that, on the invitation card, I fold it inside out to hide the print which I don't want to see and the inside fold do not have any printing. After that, I punch two holes again with the puncher.

Then I binded the cover and the paper with the mentioned paper fastener.
Did for a colleague one too and with some special add ons... hehe
Feeling sleepy now lar. So cannot write out descriptively... sorry.
The trolley culture here
I just don't understand... Whenever I'm in a hypermarket or a supermarket, I'm sure that I'll end up being frustrated by the others who don't seem to be using their brains when they are shopping, especially during weekends nite. They tend to leave their trollies in the middle of the lane unattended or attended knowing that the place is packed and almost everyone had a trolley with them.
They'll just ignore u and continue to search for things on the rack and their trollies in the middle of the lane blocking everyone. But then, when we tries to move the trolley to somewhere, then they'll think that we are trying to be funny or tries to trolley-jack. Or else, they'll be discussing the price of the item and whether to buy or not to buy between them in the lane. As though all of us is waiting fer their decision. Then, when u excuse yourself fer a path, they looked at you as though u had offended them big time. It's just a bottle of shampoo fer goodness sake. Wan to buy, then put in trolley and get on with it, don't want to buy, then return it to the rack. So simple... Even my lil' cousin in K1 knows it... But they, a full grown adult doesn't seem to know abt this simple law.
Everyone will be like waiting fer each other to cross but then, all is competing to be the first one to go. Is the things so cheap that a second lost is a bargain lost?? Or izzit they had pawn they brains for cash so that they can shop until they drop.
Is the merchandise so fantastic and alluring until they are so concentrated on the merchandise and put all common and civic sense aside?? Why is there such things happened? Until now with countless of times with such experience, I still find no answer. Who's at fault here?? The managment of the hypermarket fer designing such narrow lanes, the company which designed and sells the trolley fer that bulky size or the people aka shoppers??
We asian are known to be well educated in civicness and well mannered but then, all these seems to be a totally difference thing when they entered the hypermarket or supermarket with over millions of brandnames being stacked together in countless of neatly arranged racks... Those thing dun runs away fer goodness sake even though u spend a seconds pushing the trolleys to the side where the passage is clear and everyone can use with ease.
Once, I'd encounter a families of boor where they seems to think they have booked the whole hypermarket to themselves. They have around 3-4 trolleys each and whenever one stopped to look at something, the others will then joined in and leave their trolleys just like that... I was like "WTF??? u think the whole lane is ur father one ahz??" Then, I'll have to make a "detour" to catch up with with my friends who I went shopping that day. I've encounter them a few times that nite and until the third or the fourth time, they did that,my fuse blown, I use my trolley to push theirs to make way for mine and when they saw it, the guy came over to me with a burly face and ask me y i did that fer.
I replied to him with a question fer blocking the road with their trolleys, and he replied "Wait a while, will die ahz??".
Wah... that answer shocked me. I wasn't very satisfied with the answer and thus replied "U think this hypermarket ur grandfather open, ur father manage and your playground??"
Being loss for words as he sees that we are sorta those unfriendly people and he has his family with him, he threaten us to be careful. Frankly, it was rather funny that this is the first time someone threaten me that way in a hypermarket and all because of the trolley...A puny trolley which we never think so highly upon.
So, we hasten our shopping and settle it. Went to the carpark and wait for him to see wat he's capable of and also let him see wat we are made of...
Moral of the story, know where to put your trolley when you are looking for something. Others might not tells u off but why spoil everyone shopping mood??
Think over it... cheers.
