CNY mystery

At this time every year...ok....at various time every year, we would celebrate Chinese New Year. Be it in the month of February, January, or something, the weather will remain the same. HOT HOT HOT!! And I can never understand why is that so? Can anyone explain this to me?

We just had this festival - "Pass over winter" or something...Koh Tong. And after winter should be spring rite? But why does it feels like summer here? Sigh...mother nature had gotten her compas all upside down. Or is it because we ARE upside down? Who knows?

Well...to all of you people out there! Have a great New Year! And stay off of the sun..while I go get myself a nice cold drink!

Most beautiful woman

They had just announced who is Malaysia's most beautiful woman.....If you want to know, go read the newspaper. I think they would had published her out first thing tomorrow morning. Got to say, at least the judges is honest. haha...

Makes me wonder - since they had already elected Malaysia's most beautiful woman where they say the lady is beautiful not only on the outside, but also on the inside. And if one would want to compare the winner with some of the ladies I know, I think she wouldn't have stood a chance. Anyhow...if the MOST beautiful woman have been crowned. I guess there wouldn't be another person would it?

:p Maybe I'm jealous. Don't play play, she won herself an apartment and a large amount of cash. Not to mention jewels that may earn her another large amount of dough. But enough of the green eye monster.

Question:- what makes a woman beautiful?

Stocking up for 'winter'

For the ever ever first time in my life...

I do not need rush to Puduraya and get a bus ticket to go home. The last time I remember, I had to take a bus to HKL bus station, walk to Titiwangsa LRT to Plaza Rakyat and get the shuttle bus to Duta Station. Its not that I didnt want to take cab but if you do not know cabs in KL are head chopping kind.. also stupid me didnt even know where is Duta Station then.

I do not need to take my bike to Sungai Long so that I can tumpang my sister's car back to hometown.

I do not need to pester my sister to tell me how many days of leave I need to take cos she is the one planning the drive back home.

However, for the 1st time in my life I am here in KL celebrating CNY and I'm pretty worry that I'll be too free and mudding wont take up so many days of my hols. So I need to stock up for DVDs/VCDs/books for this CNY so I wont be bored. AND NO... I DONT NOT WISH TO WORK OVER THE CNY (though I could clear some stuff... no.. scratch that thought)

I dare not touch the naruto anime so that I got more things to watch... hmm... and i'm going to ransack Piggy's house for more comics or books :D
Anyone got more books or movie or anime to loan me? ;)

My Life As an Underwriter

Got this job as my first offer,
Quickly grasp, others didn't even consider,
"Yes! I'll take it. No need differ,
By the way, what is an underwriter?"

I asked around hoping for answers,
Some told me it is the same as undertakers,
Some asked if I need to write under the table,
"Sure it is not illegal??"

"I think it is not, I hope it is not,
I heard this job is hot,
Went in, have to learn until brain clot,
Only thing they didn't ask me to do is to hop.

Learn about risk management,
Also health assessment, and spiritual discernment,
Also lie detector just by what the clients declare,
"Decline the case!" when lying clients dare.

I didn't know I have to be part doctor, part detective,
I didn't know I have to be part psychic, part artist,
I didn't know I have to be part lawyer, part persuasive,
I didn't know I have to be very very creative.

Who told me underwriters are boring?
Who laughed at me when late in office I'm staying?
Now who is amazed at me at this vast knowledge I'm learning?
Who is at awe at this large oppurtunity I'm having?

"Underwriters are boring!"
Hah! That's what you are thinking,
With this policies that I'm reading,
Money to me you will be paying!

2 MB

This is a love-hate story with my company's email address. One fine day...

Boss: Export these cases and email it to A in Singapore. Remember to zip it yah.

Nite: Ok ok

*Me finished exporting 4 cases each for 4 different topics - Diabetes, Respiratory Disorder, Renal Disorder, Thyroid Disorder. Zip all the cases and preparing to send out the email.*


1st attempt: Send out all 16 zip cases together
Immediately I received the email - "The email you've sent out has exceeded the quota limit and has been quarantined. Kindly inform blah blah (I dont remember) should you think it should be allowed."
Lesson #1: You dont email the blah blah person and it might take you whole day before it is resolved. Also it might have to go through all sorts of red tape that you might just forget it


2nd attempt: Send out 4 cases of Respiratory disorder which file size is smaller as lesser documents.
Received another email - "The email you've sent out has exceeded the quota of 2 MB limit and has been quarantined. Kindly inform blah blah (I dont remember) should you think it should be allowed."
Lesson #2: Ah.. so the max limit for external mail is 2 MB. Ok ok

*Fish out calculator and starts calculating the file size*

Colleague: What are you doing?

Nite: I'm counting the size of the file I'm going to send out. Apparently max size allowed is 2 MB

3rd attempt: Send out 3 cases of Respiratory disorder with total size of 1.98 MB.
Received yet another email - "The email you've sent out has exceeded the quota of 2 MB limit and has been quarantined. Kindly inform blah blah (I dont remember) should you think it should be allowed.

Nite: Eh.. they still block me!! It was less than 2 MB. Only 1.98 MB

Collegue: Maybe 1.98 MB is too near to 2 MB. They round up the thing.

Nite: -_-"

*Take calculator and count again*


4th attempt: Send out 2 cases of Respiratory disorder with total size of 1.68 MB.
No email received.

Nite: Oh..cool..finally can send already.
*Happily started counting the file size for the remaining cases and email out*

After half an hour, I received 3 emails on exceeding limit quota. What? I dont even remember which ones exceeded the limit and which ones really gone through. So.. I gave up, copied all the files back home and email through yahoo mail, attaching with the files, I had to apologize for flooding the person's email and telling her to disregard whatever that I've send.

Wallet or Purse?

My long time sort of wallet (yah.. it should be purse) spoilt the 1st time I went to Singapore on business trip. Actually the zipper was spoilt and I couldn't put any coins since then. So I resolved to bringing a small plastic bag separately. So that day I went out to buy myself another one... then went out with Piggy & Di Di the next day.

*Take out purse from back pocket*

Piggy: Ei, that is a wallet, man's wallet.. not purse

Nite: But I got it from the ladies section in JJ

Piggy: It looks like a wallet instead of purse to me

Piggy: *Looking at Di Di* What do you think? Look like men's wallet right?

Di Di is eating and hardly talk a lot, just nod his head

Nite: But.. but.. the whole floor of it is ladies section..

Piggy: Then it must be few men's wallet around in ladies section so that when the boyfriend keep the girlfriend shopping, and got things to buy

Nite: Har...

Piggy: Either that, its for the ladies who pai seh to go to the men section to buy stuff for the husband or boyfriend

Nite: -_-"

After note: Actually when I bought it, I was thinking the same thing... that it appears to be like men's wallet instead of ladies purse. Here's for you to judge...

Happy New Year

Yet another post on the new year... and this is the 200th post for this blog... and on the 1st day of a brand new year too. :)

Well, just a short one... going to post up this sms that I received today, a pretty good one too.

"Like birds, let us leave behind what we don't need to carry --
- Grudges
- Sadness
- Pain
- Fear
and Regrets

Fly light

Life is beautiful!
Happy New Year 2006!"
