Sun Catcher

Have you seen these things? Have you tried it?
Gosh, this is so fun, fun, fun. By the way, it's call sun cather.
Erm.. i guess it kind of blocks the sun. anyway, its a great "art" project. Notice the "..."? Well, basically i put that cos it only involves painting. But it is great fun. Try it ;)

I've found it ;)

I've found it! After looking high and low, shops after shops, supermarket after supermarket, and i found it, practically like "behind my own backyard".

I've been to Extra, Carrefour, Watson, JJ and endless chinese herb shops (they usually sell grocery as well), also Verb and Piggy has been so nice as to upkeep with my craziness. Practically its like i've been looking for it at every possible shop. BUT, there is anywhere. I have it figured out, if i really cannot find it... i guess i can more likely find it at my hometown in A/S. ;)
I'll have to go home sometime.

Just now, Piggy coming over to my place and decided to stop by this big mini market (am i making sense? its a mini market but big kind) to grab something. And as usual, i would just casually tell her - i want to look for it and guess what? I found it! I found it! and it's somewhere near my house, ironic how things turn out to be yah?

Well, here it is... feast your eyes on... lobster crisp...hehehe

Tribute to a Plunger

Whoever come out with the invention of plunger - applause. *Clap clap*
I am trying to the inventor or creator his/her credit. I actually go surf a bit to find out who actually come out with it. And yes, i am not so hebat as would know this thing is actually call a plunger. I would have call it toilet pump or something like that...

Anyway, due to some plumbing error at the place i stay, this plunger thingy is becoming so important. Once in a while, a rather frequent while that the toilet would get clogged up. I had just spent quite awhile to pump/unclogged it... Still it is only very temporary and i noted that its has yet fully un-clogged. So i shall be very, very, very grateful if some plumber able to fix it, i would not hesistate to tribute a blog to the plumber as well :D

Btw, if you cannot get this post and dont know what a plunger is, just google up - plunger+image.. and you will get the image ;)

Disclaimer 2: It is advisable to note that I have practice "Dont let the sun sets upon your anger" and that i had had a very good Thai food before this.


*Take a deep breath...*
... Some things happen last few days, things that i am not thrilled over. In fact, it had made me realise, no matter what it is, it is just what we call human nature. Yet, it is disheartening to see that people whom all the while you have the best compliments for, would also have a side that you dont exactly appreciate.

Of course, perhaps i was not tactful enough. After all, i was the one sent & compulsory to attend some Building Championship Team training. In the training, we were thought on how to give effective feedback, in order to avoid negative response. Funnily this training actually got me into thinking - which is pretty true that it is kind of a subconsciousness reaction that if you think someone accuses you, you would turn defensive. If you think someone is correcting you with your best interest in mind, then by all means, i wouldnt think anyone would be less grateful.

... i have no idea how this post took its course to there and i somehow unable to put a finishing touch to it... so, shall left it hanging...

Note: To follow suit from Piggy, no comment is allowed for this post.

Just because....

Sometimes I wonder why people have the perception that is just isn't the real thing.
I'm working with a bunch of Sanguine people. When there is no work, we talk and laugh and joke. When there is work, we talk and laugh and joke. When there is alot of work, we talk and laugh and joke and blog! :p

Yet somehow because we talk and laugh and joke. People tend to think that we are not doing any work. They seem to think that so long we are doing something else apart from what they are doing, we just goyang kaki and wait for pay issit?? Dead wrong....

The management told us how to make some dead place alive by watching this motivation programme called fish. Just because some of us are naturally able to handle stress better than they, change stressful job into something pretty enjoyable, it doesn't mean that we are not doing anything. sigh...

So I think they are just plain jealous that we handle stress better than they do. And because of this, they often come over and instruct to do this this this. Darn! So to them I so so wanted to say... na na na na na.....give me half of your pay then I do.... :D

Then again, we are to be of a team and diplomatic. So what to do, have to bite lip and smile, explain..."Are you going to help me do my job if I agree to help you do yours?" Works wonders! haha...

Backlog

I'm out of service standard!!! Erm, not that i give myself a service level to keep track... but in a way, i'm having some books & VCDs have yet watched. Its nice in a way that I have things to do finally, thanks to everybody who contributes as i remember lamenting, no books, no VCDs and nowhere to go...

My pending tasks are:-

Books

1. Soul Harvest by Tim Lahaye & Jerry B. Jenkins -- the 4th book of a series, the Left Behind, Tribulation Force and Nicolae (I left it in the office.. for a few days...)
   
2. Savage, Ascension and Beginnings by Kelly Armstrong -- highly recommended by Piggy & Chu Chai (i have yet read as Piggy said must only read during weekends as i'll be hooked and this weekend had to work and some things to do. Still dare not touch... )
   
3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince -- have to admit that i'm not that enthusiatic about this release as begin to think that it is a little too long already and that the first few books seems like a better read. Also, perhaps of the long story, there are a few things that seems contradicting in a way. Yet, since I have the past few books and was said that HP would be in school for 7 days, so shouldnt be a lot more to go. Besides, i can deduct for income tax ;)
   
4. 魔帝-- i think there is 10 books of the comic. Have not started on it yet.. so wont be addicted yet :)

VCDs/and the likes

1. A step into the past (Cantonease - as "Cham Chun Kei") -- there are 40 episodes of it. I dont exactly remember at which episode i stopped but due to some error which i cannot identified, i can play it using the DVD player, only can use PC to watch. Jie Jie works very hard which includes weekends, so a little hard to watch
   
2. Naruto anime -- this one i foresee will finish watching faster as i'm having withdrawal symptoms of waiting for the next episode of the hard copy manga :)

So there, i shall categorized priority for the pending tasks and hope to clear the backlog soon :þ

How does MSN messenger work?

How does it work? MSN messenger, not the web version. Something make me ponder. A friend of jie jie (my sister) can see her ID online when i was online and when he sent messages via jie jie's ID, i received those messages (its intended for me cos he knew jie jie not in town over the weekend). But, the funny thing is, i didnt even sign in! How do this happen?

I register for MSN messenger using yahoo email. He reasoned that when i signed in my yahoo messenger, it is connected as well. What? I signed in yahoo using my own ID, but he saw jie jie online in MSN???? Whats the connection?

I thought i got things mixed up, probably signed in already or he is sending offline msg... but how? Even just now, he send messages right after i on pc, meaning he can see right? But, but.. i din even signed in anything? And the thing actually shows "MSN Messenger - Not Signed In". Then.. what happenned?

Well, calling all kind soul out there, can please explain the so-call phenomenon to me - the IT idiot and dont kill me if i go "huh?" yah.. :p
Otherwise, i think i shall uninstall the MSN Messenger....

Washing Day

I dont remember exactly when i last wash my bike. Ok.. you are allowed to open your mouth wide big... but due to certain inconvenient, i have sort of given up to wash it... and yes, you are allowed to scold me (should you be near me). Seriously, give it a thought, dont you think staying in non landed house makes it kind of hard to wash my bike. Of course, i have never seen people sending motorbike for washing, at least not in KL (had vague memory that my friend paid someone to wash it in Alor Star previously).

My mother used to nag me and commented that in the whole stretch of bikes parked, my bike is the dirtiest. Well, please dont misunderstood me, i certainly dont enjoy the "compliment". But at that time, i really didnt think it is that dirty. But that was ages ago, nowadays my mother never nags at me not washing my bike, simply because she has not seen it. :D

Anyway, somehow, out of the blue, I suddenly noticed that my bike is rather dirty. Ok, just imagine a very lazy me found out that my bike is dirty. Probably one of the factor i never realised was that i see my bike from side or from the back, which does not appear so bad. I dont remember why i look at it from the front view.. and there... i noted of the dirtiness... Well, since i also cannot tahan already, asked for a huge favour from Piggy and Froggy, told them that i need to wash my bike at their house. (Note: I'm staying at a apartment and cannot ride my bike in, no motorbike parking and some lame, long reason which i shall not elaborate now). Piggy then also told me that she imagine my bike was dirty... hmmm... so it is time for bike bathing.

To keep the story short, i made an appointment with Piggy & Froggy to wash my bike at their house just now and it is now - i proudly announce CLEAN and i certainly hope that it shall stay clean for a very, very long time...

Here is the before & after picture... ;)

Initial D

Went to watch Initial D - the movie last night with a couple of friends. Light entertaining, not those drama drama kind of movie and a good entertaining one. Someone told me that the human character actually resembles the manga character. Well, me being so ever curious, decided to google a little. Here is what i found...












Hmm... so, what do you think? ;)

How to be a irresistable?

Few months ago, Day had been begging Inbetween for this particular book that Inbetween brought. Eyes almost popped out.......went and asked but Inbetween just laugh and laugh.....
After a few months of constant asking, I guess I had irritated Inbetween enough. Finally got the book.
Must be imagining what book is that huh? The title is "How to be irresistable?"
muahahhaa....

Haven't completely finish reading it. And nope, I'll not share it with you. na na na na na....so there!

Upgrade Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0

Got this forwarded mail for quite a few times but couldn't help amaze with the writer's creativity each time. So decided to post this up. Its fun reading that applying currently IT life to this piece of writing :)


Dear IT Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly
under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs,such as Romance 9.5 and Persona Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0.

And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?



Signed,

Desperate

Dear Desperate,

First keep in mind: Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment
package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0. If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1. Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 6.9.



Good Luck,

IT Support
