Thanks

Every 25th of the month I receive my pay cheque. It is the same for this month Oct 2011. As I check my account balance and also took some cash from the ATM, I suddenly had this urge to post this. I have been wanting to post it for some time now. Seems now is the time.


After working for four years plus already, I begin to realize that I actually have the ability to earn a living and survive in this society, on my own. I really feel fortunate to have a complete physique and able to execute daily routines. And with the knowledge that I have gathered over the years(and the years to come), I would not need to beg to fill my stomach.

Of all these, none of it is of my credit! I owe all of them to three persons/angels whom appeared in my life:

Dearest Dad,
Thanks for your hard work in bringing back the bread for the family. You are truly an aspiring zero-to-hero role model to me. I have never respected a man more than yourself. I managed to live a moderately-good life since I was born till now thanks to you. What I asked(logical and reasons ones of course), you provided. No questions asked. Only God knows how much you have endured during your working career.

Dearest Mom,
It is always heart-warming to listen to all my baby stories from you. I have received the greatest care a son could have received from a mother. Whole-hearted devotion to the family you gave and still giving. Thanks for always paying attention to my studies and whacked me whenever the occasion arises. I have never appreciated the punishments until now. Truly, this IS the correct way to bring up a child like me.

Dearest Elaine,
Definitely fate brought us together. You have been the greatest companion during university study times. Sometimes, I am quite sure I could not have graduated with a decent merit without you. And then you decided to move to KL and begin your career here(although you received a good offer from Penang) so that you could be with me. Whenever I think of this sacrifice, I would just weep. It is close to 9 years now that we have been together. You can never imagine how much I appreciate this relationship.

To these guardians of my life: It has been my greatest pleasure having to have known you. In the next life, if possible, I will wish to be reborn to the same Dad and Mom and to know Elaine later in my life.

One could never ask for more.


Small talk: Just came back from lunch with YC, SP, and SP's hubby. I see SP's face, full of happiness. Guess that's what you get when you're married. Really nice seeing you ppl after so long!

Hi there, long time didn't mem-blog. This Merdeka holiday came at the rightest time. Gave me abit of time to do some personal things.

Anyway, HAPPY MERDEKA! We must be 1Malaysia ok? At least 8% GDP growth every year till 2020 to achieve developed country status. Stop cutting cow's head ok? Malaysia Boleh!

So, I just returned from Shanghai actually..expecting a quiet and peaceful long weekend when suddenly, unwanted call from company received. I see the caller I already know d, FUCK. To make the story short, there is this problem at site(a really simple one but nobody knows/wants to solve it) which requires my immediate presence to resolve.

Wah, sungguh tak cekap la, nice Sunday morning need be at customer's place at 8am in PD. Told Elaine and my family about it. They weren't too happy but understood my situation. Because I know the nature of the problem at site so I promised that it'll be a quick one and I would come home in the afternoon. After that, I went out for my cyber/yumcha session with the guys. It was a real nice evening until eventually goddamned unlucky Arsenal lose to the CCB ManU. I was feeling moody alright.

When I returned home, my parents told me they were gonna fetch me down to PD 2ml while they go jalan-jalan there. I was like wtf, noneed la, i not small kid anymore, i could drive there myself la. They insisted, saying they wan go jalan-jalan coz boring at home, long weekend etc. I eventually gave in. =)

How many of you guys got kena fetch to work by ur parents b4? Haha. I can proudly say I HAVE and totally not ashamed at all! We left home at 6am and all the way I kept saying thanks to them coz teman me on a boring job assigment. We stopped by Seremban for breakfast and reached PD site at 8. All in all, the work was around 15minutes and rest of the time was waiting for them to retransfer the power. Left working place at 10:30am. Hahaha..

Mom was telling how they jalan'ed the whole PD during that time. She confirmed to me that PD beach is confirm condemned to max. Impossible to swim in it seeing how dirty the water was. Couldn't agree more. We left straight for home and managed to fetch my bro and sis for lunch. They just woke up wtf. (I really terikut how sweatlee blogs coz really cute to put a wtf unintentionally at the end of some sentences)

The conclusion is: I'm glad that a nice family Sunday has seemed undisturbed by my impromptu job assignment. And I am super happy, lucky, and grateful that I have the wonderfulest and bestest family ever. If I was to be reborn, I would like to be reborn into this same family~~

=P

p/s: If you have not already read this.



Note to self: Today, I bought something very important in my life. I shall remember 1 Aug 2009~~

Wow, i'm amazed..


Filed tax return on 14th April

Got cheque on 13th May

ONE MONTH ONLY!

Hi there, dunno why, suddenly got feel wan blog, so here it is.


Today was a benefitial day. I learned about IEC61850 Goose Messaging in training! Haha, you really don't need/want to know about that.

Today's a shiny day as well. Shinniest i must say, ever since i've been here. The snow are starting to melt. They were saying that we are lucky to be here during this period because we could see two seasons in one trip - end of winter and beginning of spring.

So my training life here is like:
1. Wake up 6:30am and 7:30am take bus to company
2. Training course starts and it ends at 4pm
3. Take bus back to apartment
4. Check office mail(Malaysia) and start do office stuffs(my gawd, i hate this. training here but still need support homeland)
5. Dinner
6. Back to do office stuff if still not done yet
7. Online online online (facebook, digg, youtube, you-name-it)

As you can see, life like this is quite the sien. Looking forward to the weekend though. Last week we went skiing and this week they are planning to go to Sweden using ferry. Wow! Ok, will see how it progresses.

So back to the title "Bored in a foreign land". Gosh, i miss Elaine and my family alot. So kesian her alone there nobody teman. Really feel she is very wei da. Come here(central region) work so we could be together always. She got an offer to go Penang but she refused(but now think good also la, semicon industry situation now). Then the baddest thing i did - dump her in Company P and went to Company A. Haih, dunno wat to say. Me = bad bad bad. Luckily she is quite well compensated there(aha!) so she's not complaining much. Well, she doesn't ever complain. Such good and kind girl she is.
>> Wakaka, I think i type more of this u all will muntah so i'd better stop here. I pro in jump topic, see how i do it now.

So mostly when i'm in the apartment i look at the screen of my beloved company laptop - a Lenovo T60. I really "lap" you very much. You were there with me through "thick and thin". Wakaka.

I dunno about you guys but i use Google Reader to keep track of all the blogs/feeds I read. In this tool, there's this mechanism/algorithm which searches for the stuffs you read and automatically recommends something that you might be interested in. You know, like the youtube recommendation thingy. So i was browsing and i saw this:



Well, since i have so much time/i'm so bored so i clicked it.

I was brought to this site of a wonderful young lady(omg, i am sibeh old d) which is studying in the States. This is the type of blog where she tells about her daily life, her fashion style, how she's so in love with her bf, etc. IT'S SO NICE!!! It's simple, easy to read(with lots of pics) and keeps bring back the memories when Elaine and I was studying in UTM. Haiyor, think of it oso happy =). We used to stick together and read blogs like this(we are sibeh 8 ppl). Seeing young couples together like this makes me very happy leh, y ar?

I steal one photo from her flickr to show u all. Hope she doesn't mind.


HOW CUTIE!!!

Seriously cannot resist girls with cheeks like these. Tarik like that really damn nice. =P
Hope they kekal long long, get married, and have cute children!

Oh, can't believe it. Type so long d, just 10pm here, wtf. There was one day that I was really bored till kns, I went to sleep at 6:30pm.

Okla, i oso blog puas d. Facebook oso see puas d. Nothing to digg d. Will go sleep.
Tata.

buy many things!! Still, I spent RM650+ on clothing and shoes alone?
Money come, money go.

Wow, I hate Fridays man. It has been hell of a week in the office and everything must come crashing down on Friday, ccb. Yor, really very busy lately..sien sien.

Sorry for not updating in a very long time. Because = no time! Anyway, later tonite I'll go Genting watch Alan Tam's concert. Syiok! A small escape before I face a whole new problematic week ahead, haha.

Recently my loyal 5-year-plus-maybe-6-year old 15" Samsung 153v LCD Monitor kaputed on me man. Damn sad. I playing Facebook a while then the mon went blank(dark). After that, got burnt smell coming out. Walau, damn scared.

So, dengan sangat semangat I went to pry open the mon to see what burnt-ler. Well, if you like to see, I've included some photos:

Photobucket
Look Ma, I dismantled your 42" Super-Clear-Japan-Made NEW LCD TV!!!
- Imagine your kid telling you that. Dunno want happy or sad.

Photobucket
The right side is the power supply card. Left side should be the image processing card(I think).

Photobucket
The brain behind the Liquid Crystal.

Photobucket
So tmd, this paria capacitor is burnt!

Actually I really don't know how to measure and see if other components are spoilt as well. Just saw this got burnt marks so I removed it from the power supply module.

Seperti seorang engineer yang half-tank-of-water/innocent, I went to purchase the same capacitor and replaced it on the board. On the power..still FAIL.

In the end, I couldn't tahan d ler and decided to buy a new one. Before this I was thinking of sending it to fix. But dunno-lar, always feel will kena tiok by doing this and at the same time scared if fixed d dunno when will fail again cause old already-ma.

-------

Now come the SYIOK part. Want buy what size LCD mon leh? I was deciding really hard between a 19" and a 22". After some internal zheng-za(wakaka), I bought this:

Photobucket
22" AOC 2216Vw - RM758

It's really nice ler..so big the screen but yor, really sad cause burnt RM758 - which is a lot of money to me. Really hope no other things will spoil anytime soon.

Just came back from one day trip down to Melaka. Tiring betul. Woke up at 4:30am for the trip. Now I can go inside the Petronas Refinery in Sg. Udang d. Not that it means anything to you. Haha. Nevermind.

I had the most wonderfullest volleyball practice yesterday. There's this friendly-sportsmanship-mengeratkanhubungan match between my company and the singapore branch coming soon in august and i'm trying out to represent my company. HUIYOH...cheh.

So there's like this practice every week but yesterday's was special betul. Cukup in-form(in my humble opinion lah). Could do some paria spikes(haha), and paling best was set one cekap one for my teammate. And he spiked wonderfully! Din know assist is so fun! Wah made, i so syiok sendiri now. Wakakakakaa. Beh tahan.

More good news, i've been shortlisted! Actually there are not many to choose from oso la(paiseh to say but like nobody interested in volleyball nia). But happy oso la. Can play happy d.

Show u all one volleyball youtube i found. Dasyat betul. U see the fellar jump how high. CRAZEEE!!!


This is like totally irrelevant but wan share with u all one thai song.


Damn like korean song rite? I love it!

命运

命运 是否支配一生

而我不可拒抗 当不得命运 主人

不肯 绝对不肯接受命运

宁愿一生与它对抗 都不许造物 弄人

I heart Pianos

Hi all. Me still on leave. Syiok ni. Haha.

Today watched CJ7 in the newly opened TGV cinema in AEON bukit tinggi. The movie was quite ok, not as bad as i heard it was. Actually the cinema itself might have contributed abit. The cinema is really good(it's new ma), and the seat is high till can support head and neck(goodbye TGV bukit raja). Watching KungFu Dunk tomolo nite pula..hehe.

I dunno u all know anot, i really love the piano as a musical instrument although i've never learned how to play one(of coz i can play abit since i got learn itu Electone la but that's not the point). I love it not becoz it can play really keng punya classical music(coz i dun like classical anyway), but i love it becoz it's like an instrument with class. Wah ceh.

I've always imagined growing up and having a large and comfortable home(like every other human being, haaha). Just in case that happens(hehe), i would also like to throw in an area(probably near the living hall), where i can put a Grand Piano. ONLY the Grand Piano. Which in my opinion, will make the house even more atas lor.

First hor, i thought my grand piano must be WHITE COLOUR!


Becoz white equals rare, rare is good. Rare is atas..haha.

But this perception of white is cekap is also mainly came from Richard Clayderman. He plays the white piano really too shuai d!


Born 1953. Wah piang, older than my father. I pernah watch his concert in Genting ler.

Then later on(when i was older), i was "wiser". White no good. Very easy dirty wan. Somore i won't really maintain(since i'm f**king lazy). I might as well get a BLACK COLOUR one. Got class somore easy maintain(but actually black hard maintain oso la..hehe).


See..gei yau yeng.

Then as time passed, more piano makers came up with creative designs for pianos. It was when this type of pianos came out that i changed my mind from black to this..


I must have a TRANSPARENT piano! Wah-phewit, nothing can be more atas than this.

I also thought so till one fine day i watched this movie..


"Secret" by Jay Chou.


Wah, put an ANTIQUE piano oso quite got taste and class hor?

So as you can see..taste boleh-lah berubah dari masa ke masa. Haha. The latest piano that i'm attracted to is nothing fancy(it's not even a Grand, just an Upright Piano). However, it's a DESIGNER piano. It's called the YAMAHA RADIUS.


Oh, such a modern design that will fit so perfectly into modern homes nowadays.

Let's see the ppl at Yamaha introducing this fine piece of art..


Yamaha Radius introduction by Yoshihiro Katsumata(Designer) and Peter Baartmans(Performer).

I can almost imagine having and playing one right now.

Money, oh money. Where art thou?

This is post #230.

Just a short one.

Tanpa diduga, satu tahun telah berlalu. Sibeh fast. This year is rat year. Die. Oredi 24 years old d(chinese 25). Wish everyone of you out there have a fruitful year ahead without any bing tong(healthy healthy!).

Something new is coming my way this CNY too. Hope everything will turn for the better. Also hoping for a smooth transition. =P

Take care guys.

p/s: This Yin and Jiin memang cukup jimui. One by one contact ask play mahjongg. Without fail every year..haha.

let us truly cherish NOW, the love ones around us NOW, and everything that is NOW.

Hi, haven't been blogging for aeons. Quite busy with project lately as it is reaching the peak phase. Everynite come home oredi very tired d. Only one thing in mind - dinner and sleep (ooppss, that's two things). But that will change now..

Recently something BIG happened in the company that i'm working in now. A colleague of mine passed away.

It was a lazy wednesday as i went to work (after a public holiday on tue). Checked my mail and saw this mail from the admin support:

We are sorry to announce that our colleague Pang Wei Qiang has passed away yesterday..
I was like, "WTF, this kinda thing make joke very fun meh?!?" It was till a few moments later that i found out it wasn't a joke and it hit me like a BANG. He was gone..forever.

That day I felt the reality of life.

To tell the truth, i was abit frustrated and angry that everyone proceeded with their daily routines and it was as though nothing had happened. Just another colleague down with MC and absent for the day.

I felt cold. Very cold indeed.

I'm not saying that everyone is feeling-less but after that i realized that actually everyone was feeling the same. He is gone, but what can we do about it? We feel sad but should we cry it out loud? I don't think so.

I thought the same.

Pang Wei Qiang, one year my senior. That'll make him at the age of 24. 24-year-old young man, dead. Cause of death: Still unknown to me. I was informed that he was sleeping and did not wake up after that.

What makes his death such a big impact on me was because he works in the same 4-person cubicle as i am. And he was just asking me a question on programming (marshalling to be exact) on monday evening. I didn't know that would be the last conversation btw me n him.

Pang, u're such a kind and generous person. I remember when i shifted to your cubicle, you're the first person who greeted me. You, LeeYean, and Chow were always so so kind to offer me tidbits and whatnots whenever you had any. I can remember the verses clearly. Especially yours calling out to me, "YiQuan, YiQuan, 来吃, 来吃, 还有很多 leh." (YiQuan, come eat la. Still got alot leh.) Pang, u were also one of the persons i referred to whenever i had any C# or configuration management questions. You were never ever stingy on sharing your knowledge. I can never thank you enough for lending a helping hand to a newbie like me.

Pang, i'm sorry i never got to know you better. Wherever you are now, I wish you peace.

To everyone that's reading this, go home to your family. It doesn't matter if you give your parents, your sibblings, your other half, your children, a hug, a kiss, or any sweet words. U'll be surprised that your mere presence means a whole lot to them.

Lastly, i have a request to God(or whoever is behind this whole universe thingy). Please let children have longer lives than their parents. It's not f**king right to see your children die b4 you, EVER!

though no big celebrations nor parties. I'm just glad that everyone around me is doing fine. Dunno y feel very blessed recently. Knowing that there's a bunch of wonderful ppl around me just makes me feel so happy!

2nd of nov came n gone and i'm officially 23 now. Haha. Paria betul. Older but not wiser. Sien. Oh, actually i wan write this post to thank all that had wished me on my "Cow #1". It's a great feeling to know that someone actually remembers. This list can also serve as a reminder for me to wish them back during their big day. If ppl remember urs then u dun remember theirs it's damn paria wan leh. Hehe.

Que Sera Sera

Que Sera Sera

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.


Quan: Sometimes we(ahem..I) tend to worry about the future too much when it is now(the present) that we should work hard for.
