Learn more abt your country

This site quite funny... its called 'UNCYCLOPEDIA'. Do a search on Malaysia and this is the opening paragraph describing our lovely country:

Essentially a tiny penisular found to the north of their slightly more anal cousins who live on an even smaller island Singapore, Malaysia is a young nation of diverse cultures and races (including the F1). Moving foward with a vision as a collective community towards the vision of becoming a developed nation by the year 2020, 4040, 5050 or whatever catchy number.

It is made up of 13 states namely
Selangor, Kedah, Trengganu, Kelantan, Pahang, Penang, Johor (just north of Singapore), Sabah, Sarawak, Perlis, Malacca, Perak and Negeri Sembilan. Malays run around with spears and attempt to subdue the technologically advanced but non-wiping Chinese in a bout for island domination. The prize is beer, which is illegal to muslims anyway. But it's the principle that counts, you know.

Then it goes on talking abt the history, climate, people, culture, sports and education in Msia.

Pucuk Ubi - New Town

2 months ago, Cheryl, Chin Teong & I was posted to work in PJ State. Like normal, I was running two shows at one time, so was hardly with the team. Then Cheryl & Chin Teong 'discovered' this restaurant opposite client's place called Pucuk Ubi, whereby Chin Teong was given 'extra' attention by the owners. This is what Cheryl wrote on their experiences in the restaurant:

'today i had lunch at a place called "pucuk ubi" (which means potato stick). the restaurant is located in "new town", a row of shops opposite the pj hilton. it serves borneo food which was really spicy! highlight - its run by a group of transvestites better known as "aquas" and i think 1 of them said a frenly "hi" to chin teong earlier in the morning, i don't think he will be venturing there alone anytime soon hehehe'

So after a few comment to disturb Chin Teong, we never talked/ discussed abt Pucuk Ubi anymore until today when Cheryl found that the owners of the restaurant has left a comment on her post!! Imagine the shock.... :P This is an excerpt taken from the comment:

'well well well... basically you guys were discussing about us and we are pretty glad to have found this blog written by you. anyway, you are all welcomed anytime here to see how pretty we are... hehehe... don't be surprise if we are much prettier than you guys. lol. kinda funny but it's the facts of life that you guys have to accept....'

Read more at Cheryl's Blog.

Not sure if they are the actual owners or not.. i tried to look at their profiles and found that the restaurant actually has a website. Check it out at --> http://restoranpucukubi.tripod.com/
Unfortunately they do not have pictures on the websites...

Taking Annie for a walk

We are starting a new ritual.... trying to take Annie for a walk on the wkend. Hopefully this will make her less restless at home. Thought can take some nice pics of her with the sunset background. But to my horror, its actually quite hard taking dog's pic. Annie always turn n face the other side whenever she sees me in front of her. Then when I got too tired n give up, she will sits besides me and look at me!!







































my frus look when i cant take pic of annie

Food Poisoning

sigh... got food poisoning from last nite's mamak session. Been to the toilet 3 times.. didnt eat lunch.. feel damn dehydrated... gonna head to the bed..

LATEST UPDATE
OMG.. just got back from the docs... I've actually lost 2kg....

What a wkend!

Had a relatively lazy wkend... planned to do some work ... didnt do so until now, which is like 1.27 AM - Monday morning!!!

Matta fair was this wkend as well. Went to get my air tix... am quite happy that I'm one step closer to taking a break from work. On top of getting my air tix, also signed up for a spa package.. hahahah

Had some great seafood... exercise like mad this morning, watched a good show tonite.. STOMP! The chairs in Istana Budaya was quite bad.. luckily the show was good. But I realise that M'sian crowd is quite bad in interaction. The performers was tryin to engage the spectators INTO the shows, but somehow I think they hv failed miserably tonite. There wasnt enuf of enthusiams from the crowd. At least thats how I feel.

So.. was also clumsy just now.... my feet was wet n I slip n fell on my knee coming out of the bathroom... *tsk*tsk* damn painful now. Its kinda red, I bet later on today it will be BLUE BLACK. We shall see... might take some pics to show... :(

Have been doing alot of thinking too... on how i felt abt work, feeling tired, needing a change.. I realise i've been doing alof of complaining & talking but hardly any action! I need more motivation and ask myself what I really want. Its no used complaining if i'm not gonna do anything abt it. So to everyone out there, will welcome any form of feedback... on the possible change I can make, jobs I can do, esp for those who knows me well.

Maybe a hol in Nov will do me good and will make that feeling go away.

Fed-Up & Piss Off

I wish I could do something else with my life rather than chasing ppl for documents, verifying ppl's figures, taking minutes, preparing presentation slides for jobs which I didnt do, listening to boss' expectation for half the day, attending tonnes n tonnes of meaningless meetings, feeling disappointed with ppl's behaviour, etc.

Why cant I find the 'right' job?? Which I wont be complaining and feel let down by other ppl's behaviour?? I wan to feel happy.... !! Why issit so hard to do that?

Maybe taking a yr off from work would do me good... something to consider seriously.

We lost!

Today was the IAFG Basketball Finals between EY & KPMG... we got trashed 26-66!

But am still very proud of our team cos:
  1. We BEAT PwC last week in the semis.. hehehe (our arch-rival)
  2. There's 4 players in the team from RaBS. Specifically ALL of them are from TSRS! (Good work Tuck Wai, Jerry, Chin Teong & Kevin)

If you're wondering what is IAFG, it stands for Inter-Accounting Firms Games. This is like the mini olympic held yearly with participants from the various local accounting firms.

Managed to obtain some pics from last wk's semis against PwC.


Myself, Yin Ching, Shauntine & Justin cheering as our team score another gol!


EY cheering in full force.

Hall of shame


Caught this idiot, cutting queue last night at the Motorola bridge. Number plate HWC 49. Please give his service a pass and get another cab.

Accident button

I cant start Quicktime on my stoopid T42. Dav suggested force shut down...

Dav: Ur comp got that button or not?
Steph: Got. There (pointing to the white dot button in the middle)

Dav fingers automatically press 'the' button long enuf that the comp shut down.
Being the naive me, not sure if the button functions the same way for all laptops.

Steph: Does this button has the same functions? (while pressing on his comp's startup button)
Dav: I'll BITCH slap you if my comp shut down (angry response due to the fact that he's working)

'POOH!'.. true enuf his comp shut down....
'SLAP!' ... there goes my face.... *TSK*TSK*

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone that had sms-ed me birthday wishes, yes I'm a year older now. Sorry for not replying all the SMSes, my phone's gone ker-plunker, dropped it one time too many (is this the right phrase, hmmm?). Here's the list (in no particular order)

Raymond, thanks bro. Loved the moon cake! Thanks to my dad and rest of the bros too.

Steph, for being such a wonderful person. You are always there for me.

Boon, it's been awhile since we've jammed. Biler? We should start again. Gotta get someone to read the chinese message that you sent me..don't know wat is it. hehe
Btw, your message is the first that I received!

Esther & Mei Yee, we should have more food outing, yah!? I'm thinking of seafood, satay, steamboat, Swedish meat balls, and etc..

Pooi Chin, Sook Ling, Alexis and Ivy, how was the fireworks?

Emran, Prakash, Liaw and MK, it's been a while since we had a gathering with everyone in it. Missed those days when we used to hang out and do nothing. I can still remember.. water pressure, suzuki, superman act and other OTBs :D

My colleagues in Convenxia, love you guys and gals. Life is much more interesting with everyone around. :-) Special thanks to Ying, Aless and Wai Kong, I've never had colleagues which is so interesting and funny all the time!

To the rest, thanks for being part of my life. Keep in touch.
