I'm Still Alive

Yea...long time didn't update my blog. I am still well alive. My photos are way way way backlog. I'll try to post up Day 1 pics in these 2 days. Had a great time in Japan. Wished that I had more time to spend at Dotombori (Osaka) for shopping! :( Nevermind, maybe there's another time for it. :)

Am kinda poisoned while I was at BIC Camera. Darn but due to constraints, I can't buy it now. Guess will have to just be contemplete with what I have at the moment and will see how it goes next year.

Better get back to process/select my pics first for posting. Till the next post...

Freaking Crazy Week

It has been a freaking crazy week. Non stop working. Issues, upgrades, vendor escalations, customer demands, after work activities etc etc. I hate it...every time when wanna travel also like that one eh. Crazy crazy crazy...

I have never felt so tired before, even my boss said during my 1:1, you sound very tired. Yeah...

Was given the opportunity last weekend and carried out some wedding photography. It was my 1st. How was it you may ask? Err...not so prepared..snapping at the right timing.. inexperienced.. tiring.. etc etc. Ah 1st's times are always like that eh.. *grin* I too had my 1st ride in a Mini Cooper S and also on a Harvey!! Woo hoo...will post some pics later.

Finally it's Friday, think I'll get any rest? NOPE! Tomorrow will be another full day till late night over at a friend's orchard near Mengkuang Dam to celebrate mooncake festival. I'm gonna pack my kit, tripod and flash (thanks to a friend) inclusive there to practice some night shots.Sunday morning to be spent over at temple till 2pm-ish.

Sheesh man, wonder if I'll ever have time to pack my luggage! Or maybe I'll just hop onto the plane, bagless, and shop there for my new wardrobe of clothes? Good idea?

Jeans

Jeans - I'm sure we all own at least 1 pair of it. How much are we willing to pay for a pair of it?

One fine day last week, I went to 2 malls and did some jeans hunting. Existingly I have 3 pairs of jeans, 2 from US and 1 from Hongkie. 2 out of 3 are already dropping down and it's time to downsize. I've tried on so many jeans in a day! Most of the time I have problem with jeans whereby it fits my thigh but there is a big gap at the waist portion. But last week, I finally found the one that suits me best. It slips on my thighs nicely and there is no big gap at the waist! I so love it. BUT. It costs RM259! With $$ running low, it feels a bit painful to buy that pair of jeans that I like! Sobz...so in the end I told the salesguy that I'll consider first and walked out from the shop.

Should I or should I not get it?

New Season Soon

It has been quite a number of months where the English series season ended. We were anticipating every week for the next episodes, what will happen to Hiro Nakamura? What powers will Syler obtain next? What tricks does Dr House have up his sleeve on his next patient? Since House has entered the psychotic hospital, what will happen in the next season?

All these anticipation...Fret not, the new season will be coming soon! Come WW39, we will have our favourite movie series airing new seasons! House, Heroes, CSI Miami, CSI New York, CSI Las Vegas, and even new season of Amazing Race! There will be a 2 hour season premier of Heroes and House! Awesome!

Looking forward to the series marathon again in September!

Cherish

Cherish your loved ones...
For it is the small things that you remember;
the little imperfections that made them perfect for you!

Information Overload

So many books, so many brochures, pamphlets, not forgetting the world wide web. Wonder how much my brain can take in. Information overload! It needs a reboot to free up the cache. :)

It's good nevertheless, it's all good...

New Room

Ok this is long overdue. Here're some pics of my new room. Anyone wanna help me unload my stuff? :) All the rooms still do not have mosquito netting and curtains though. The want to change all the build-in cupboards have to be placed on hold tentatively. There'll be another single bed fitted into my room later on.

Manager's Backing

It's good to know that you have your manager's backing with relation to the earlier post.

Trip Planning, Room Reno Completed, Photo Shoot

Did quite a lot of reading up for our upcoming trip in Nov during this long weekend. Now I have a better idea of where to visit in Kyoto and how to save on transportation fees. I shall come up with 1st draft soon. :)

Have 'moved' back into my 'new' room after sleeping on the floor downstairs for the past 5 weeks. My room walls were given a new coat of paint and did some rearranging of furniture in my room. We shall wait a little longer before we have all the cupboards changed. Hopefully my small wall lamp will be fixed up some time this week. Will share some pics of my new room in a few days time. It was easy to just dump everything into boxes prior to the renovation. Now that the rooms are ready, wonder how long will it take me to move the books back into order in my cabinets? Ah...

Tried some photo shoot during the weekend, playing with lights. Had to make do with bare minimum what I had in hand only as I do not own a flash. The object is still not sharp enough though. Will need more practise on this.

Budgeting Structure UP

For a start, have managed to get the budgeting structure up with bare minimum at the moment with only airfare, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Woohoo! Engine starting to warm up liao.

Count Down

Exactly 4 more months. Counting down eagerly! Can't wait for the day to come.

Renovation

Just thought of sharing the progress of on going renovation. Below 2 pics were taken on 6/24 morning. Room windows were removed off to be fitted with new ones.

Noticed how ugly the ceiling board was? I've been starring at it for the past 29 years! Bye bye to them!

My room is now completed and the wireman will come fix up the small room light tomorrow morning. The wall has been given a new coat of paint. Parquet floor has been varnished. The wall color I picked turned out much lighter than I expected. Next will need to redecorate my room.

Will post some pics of my new room next week.

Who Cares!

The mouth belongs to other people,
I have no control over them,
and I dont intend to confront those people.
I don't want to care what other people say and comment.
I will let it be as it is,
for I know what is the truth.

It does not matter where I work from,
be it from tech savvy Japan or secluded Saudi desert or on the Himalayan mountain range,
As long as the place has internet connection,
that is where you will find me.

At the end of the day,
I finish up my work,
I complete my IMBOS,
I produce end results,
I can answer to my manager.

That is the most important part.
Who cares what other people says!

Breakaway

At some point, it feels great to breakaway.
Breakaway from all the polutions of human mankind.
Breakaway from all the gossiping.
Breakaway from all the rat race that is surrounding you.
Breakaway from all the ...

No, I am not in a bikini in a secluded island.
No, I am not enjoying the perks of airconditioning in the freaking hot weather.
No, I am not on leave.

I am just having my breakaway time!

Such Bad Luck

I tell you I had such bad luck these few days man...I had bugs in my food two days in a row! On Friday morning I had breakfast at the roti bakar place. 3 of us went there and all 3 of us ordered the same food - which was 3 sets of softboil egg and roti bakar. So ngam the softboil egg I got, when I ate till the bottom, I saw a bug there, more of like a small cockroach! Darn! Eat till bottom only see that...

Then on Saturday night, we went to buy back dinner from Island Glades. I bought Pan Mee from the stall at Mandarin Cafe. Came back home to eat...yum yum. Eat till almost the end, then suddenly I felt like vomitting...WTF...I saw ANOTHER BIGGER BUG! BIGGER THAN YESTERDAYS! A 1.5cm long cockroach! Kanasai %^&*(!

Alex was laughing his head off at me...say I am SO lucky to eat bugs two days in a row. Agh....

So, on Sunday, we asked a friend what is the number to buy for cockroach. It was 427. So Alex said buy 7427 number lo. And last night we checked what number opened...and guess what?!?! It opened 4277 in Special!!! WTF!!! Aghhh....the 7 open in the wrong place!

Should I buy the number again today? I am contemplating...

...

Don't know what to say...mo chang these few days...talked to much to uncle J. Later dunno will become like uncle J or not. Looks like a lot of things to do, but dunno what has been accomplished either. Ugh!!!

Mind suddenly went blank. Can't recall some important dates, can't do calculation. HELP! I think I'm gonna start eating chocolates!

New Year

Start of the new year, no motivation to work after long break. Engine so cold now. Another 2 more weeks will be CNY...another holiday break...where to find motivation la!
