Cat Out Of The Bag... Very Soon
I recently discovered my colleagues & bosses read certains blogs. Some blogs are even hosted in our servers. It's only a matter of time before they discover my blog. One even asked for me to forward my blog link, but that would take the fun out of guessing now, wouldn't it ;)

Well, if they do stumble upon my blog... Hiya! No, I haven't said anything bad or curse anyone in the company XD I'm here to keep my job k. Happy reading.

Part Of The Team.
The Executive Director had a short discussion with me just now. He said the arrangements have been agreed upon between him and the MD, and they would like to offer me a permanent position in the company. Things have been going along ok for me, so of course I agree lar :)

Also, the ED did ask if everything was ok, or if there's any way to improve the department or the environment. Well, there are a few things we discussed about and we had a good laugh over some stuff (like the notebook I was provided very the slow, run 2 design softwares oredi like want to hang). But generally we're a small (but growing) team, and the ED is open to any fresh ideas. How to furnish the room, what sort of furnitures to get yada yada yada. I believe with the right attitude from everyone (including me), things will turn out for the better :)

Wish me luck!

Appreciation (or the lack of it)
It's weird how you start to appreciate something only after you've left it all behind. How at first everything was so utterly unbearable, you wish you could just drop everything and walk away. And now that you've walked into a new environment, you can't help but look back and wished you never left it all behind.

Sigh~

Mood Swings
This morning, while on the way to work, Mix.fm was talking about how it's ok for women to have mood swings and not-so-ok if it were men. Some callers said women are like that, very emotional you know. Some said if men have mood swings, not very man-like lah (in other words, possibly ah-kua).

Men... to have mood swings... is just so weird. I mean, yea you can throw tantrums I guess. You can get mad, have bad moods and stuff. But mood swings? That's like a girl liao *haha* Can't possibly imagine some macho guy suddenly stomp his feet and whats things his way. Maybe those gays guys in ManHunt @ Dr.Liew can tell you about mood swings :P

A man that looks after his appearance is neat. A man that looks after his appearance and takes pride in his attire is metrosexual. A man that looks after his appearance, takes pride in his attire, makes sure his underwear matches his socks and spends way too much time in front of the mirror is gay.

*Note: I have nothing against gay men. I have gay friends too.

Comparison: Pets VS Babies
Pets (referring to dogs & cats, not the slithering scaly kind)
1) They are so darn cute, with a face you can't possibly get mad off. Even after they have becomes adults, they still look cute.

2) You can toilet train them at an early age (a few weeks old).

3) Pets make loyal companions & friends.

4) Pets don't talk back.

5) Pets know when you're feeling sad or depress.

6) Pets are therapeutic.

7) Some pets can help retrieve things.

8) Pets are very accepting, they don't judge.

9) Pets can give you so much love.

10) You don't have to dress pets, they're fine with fur.

Babies
1) They only look cute when they're young. The cuteness disappears once they can run, jump, tear your house apart & crash your car.

2) You can't toilet train babies, but they can train you to listen to their screams.

3) Their company & friendship is normally decided by how much toys & cash you're giving them (applicable when babies grow older).

4) Babies talk back (or scream).

5) Babies don't know if you're sad or depress. They only know when's feeding time.

6) Babies are stress bringers.

7) Babies can't retrieve things, but they can sure beak things.

8) Babies judge you. When they grow up, they judge you even more.

9) Babies give you love in the form of a poo-poo mess.

10) Babies need to be dressed. When they grow older, they will demand more fasionable attires (faux fur?)

*Note: Don't get pissed off at this post. It is meant to poke fun. If you're pissed off, it means you have no sense of humour and should leave. Hehe.

My Audience
Since my humble beginnings as a freshie in the blogging world, I've met (online and some in real life) several well known bloggers and got to learn a thing or two from them. It's great actually, I've met a lot of online friends, some of them quite closely :)

Some of the many characters I've met and have read my blog are:

1) A doctor who has a peculiar fondness for the colour purr-purr.
2) A humsup teddy bear who's activities include foddling and molesting (taking pictures of teteks too).
3) An engineer with fantastic Bee Em and great humour.
4) A saint, but in actual fact not very saintly.
5) A couple of IT guys like him, him and him.
6) A tiger that's into Shaoling kungfu *hieeeee-yaaahhhh* and considers himself an ah beng.
7) A quiet polar bear who's into cars.
8) Some non-human-like characters like a chicken, cat and mosquito. ...
9) Some wonderful parents like him and him.
10) And many many many more wonderful people :)

Of late, I've also had some visits from a musician based in Japan (who's actually a Malaysian and I've been torturing him with words like Char Kuey Teow & Nasi Lemak). I've also seen some new names in my Haloscan commeting system, and I apologise if I did not add your links into my personal "Daily Reads" column cos sometimes I can't keep track of who is new. If you would like me to add your link, please inform me :)

Aside from people that enjoy my blog, I also have visits from people who probably hate my blog and the way I write :P Some kutuk me, others just leave some hate mail. Well, it goes to show... you can't please everyone. Heck!

Blogging From Hubby's Office
I'm currently inside hubby's office. He brought me here to kinda like help out in some manual labour thingy. It's 7.40pm. Lotsa people here, all staying back to help out with all the invites to their upcoming event. I have no idea what they're doing. All I keep hearing is some CB here, CB there. The only thing I know about CB is ChiBai. But that can't be accurate cos this is after all, a big corporate company and ChiBai can't possibly have anything to do with whatever they're all doing :P

And I'm hungry... Where's my Grilled Chicken Foldover I ordered ahhh...?

Misadventure
Flashback to my early days in secondary school years (Form1 & 2, afternoon session). My mum had this strict rule that once I step into the school compound, I'm forbidden to step out. My mum fetches me to school, so most of the time I have an early lunch and I'll reach school by 12pm. On Fridays, I have a good 2-hour "shake leg" break before the bell rings.

So what does a young girl like me do to kill time in school? Well, sometimes I hang out in the canteen. Sometimes I go to the library.... No, wait, I never go to the library :P On several occasions, I went OUTSIDE the school compound to the nearby shoplots with some friends who also come to school early on Fridays. Jang Jang Jaaaaannnngggg...

I mean, come on... school doesn't start on Fridays until 2pm, right? I have two whole hour to kill mar. Can't possibly spend the hours in some library right? LOL So anyway, my friends and I would walk to the shoplots nearby (known as State or New Town) and just hang out. There's a stationary shop there and we go there quite often. You know lah, those days in school, stationaries were the craze mar.

On one fateful day, my friends and I decided to venture further. We decided to go back to our former primary school and head to the cafetaria just outside the primary school main gate for some makan-makan session. The primary school is about 1km down the road and we shared the cab fare. We had our makan session and stepped out of the cafetaria to catch a cab back lor. And lo and behold... my MUM drove by o_O

I was caught... red handed at that. There was no escape. A dark cloud was over my head. The end was near. My mum was late picking my younger sister up from school, and drove right into my friends and I. I would've said "Tiu lor" but at that time, "Tiu" was not in my vocabulary yet. I was busted, oh yea.

My mum asked what was I doing outside of school *gulp*. I told her we went out for some food. Then she told us to get in the car and drove us back to school. It was a harrowing ride. All this while her left hand was on the automatic gear, index finger waving and not a word from her. I knew I was in for some serious shit. I got a lecturing at home ler.

Morale of the story: If you're gonna go out of the school compound, make sure it's nearby the school. That way, if you spot your parents or some relative, at least you can still make a quick dash back.

*Note: I returned to my normal Friday routine a few weeks later :P But my hangout area was restricted to State. Hehe...

Bad Hair Day
My hair is not listening to me. I kept combing and combing, but it just refuse to cooperate. It's kinda limp today, flat, no life, no bounce. Sigh~

Does anyone have any ideas on how to tame your mane? Or at least add some zest to it? Sometimes I wish I had some soft curls in my hair, instead of the typical straight hair most asians have. I know I can go get a perm, but eeewww... Hate the idea of perming my hair. I can't stand the chemicals they use, stinko stinko.

I'm having a bad hair day :( Is anyone else in the same predicament as me today?

Vegetarian Encounter
On my 2nd day at work, one of my bosses, W, suggested we have lunch at this new Hongkie style restaurant just opposite the office. The food served was like those typical "Char-Chan-Teng" like KimGary & WongKok. The only difference was this particular Hongkie place we went to was actually serving vegetarian style food o_O Not that we mind though, but the food wasn't that great at all. While eating, we decided to keep this little vegetarian food a little secret from 2 other guy colleague who was to join us for lunch in a little while.

W: "Let's not tell the guys this is actually a vegetarian restaurant" *grin*

S & Oli: *grin grin*

15 minutes later, 2 more colleagues came to join us for lunch after their meeting.

J: "Hey, the price is not bad here!"

A: "Yea, pork steak."

*W, S and Oli grinning away*

J: "I'll have the beef burger."

A: "I'll have the black pepper ham steak with rice."

Food arrives...

A: "Hmm, the ham looks like luncheon meat. Ma Ling Ma Ling."

J: "The beef burger looks different" *takes a bite* "Ok, don't call the beef burger."

*grin grin grin*

J: "The beef taste funny..." *takes another bite*... "It taste like some sashimi!"

A: *takes a small chunk of beef, puts in mouth* *chew chew* "It taste like... oh shit, the taste changed!"

J: "Exactly! The taste changes at the end! It doesn't even taste like beef. It's like some cheap substitute!"

*mufffffttttftftffffff tahan tahan laughing* *bwahahahahahahahahhahahaha*

W: "Ok guys..." *laff laff* "The reason your food taste funny is because... "

J: *eyes wide open* "Oooooohhhh....!!! Okok!!! I get it!!!"

A: "What?" *chews his ham steak*

W: "The food's vegetarian"

A: *eyes wide* "Ooooohhhh..." *continues chewing*

Pindah Rumah (Moving House)
I'm moving to my new nest this weekend. Renovations are complete. Furnitures are all in. Curtains are all up. Kitchen is set (but fridge still empty, haha!). The day has finally come. I'm pretty excited you know. After all, we bought the place 3 years ago, and have been constantly watching it go up floor by floor. It's an exciting feeling to own your own pad :) Can't really describe the feeling, but I'm both excited and esthetic.

There's still quite a bit to do though, like cleaning, decorating, buying food stuff etc. I don't have a phone line yet, so no net connection. Intend to get the Centrex line specially set up for the condo. It's the same as a normal fixed line, except it also functions like a PABX (can intercom other units FOC). Most importantly, can apply broadband (TMNut). Plus the TV reception is quite bad (can only get TV2 & NTV7. Bleehhh), so most likely we'll be getting Astro's cheapest package later :P

Ahhh~~~

Fahionable Aunty Nightmare
This happened last week. I was at MidValley with my parents, grocery shopping inside Jusco. While pushing the trolley for my masters, I did my people watching, just looking at the crowd walking by, what's in their trolleys, what is their attire for the day, the works. And this caught my eye...

She was probably in her mid to late 30s. Long wavey hair, wearing a semi transparent white dress with tiny black prints. And under the Jusco spotlight, if your angle is right, you could see her thong. A black thong. OHMY@%&$#@%&GOD!

Why oh why do some women torture the public like this? Hey, if you're some sweet looking hot chick, then oklar. But hello! Aunty! Don't spoil people's eyes can or not? You want to be sexy oso be sexy nicely lah. Wear a semi transparent dress and black thong, how cheap.

Via SMS:
Oli: OMG! I just saw an aunty in semi transparent dress with black thong! Eeewww...

Doc: Can see her pimples on her butt cheek? :P

Oli: Thank goodness kenot see her cellulite. There should be a law against such people. Spoil my eyes only.

Later that day, I saw another aunty, an even older aunty. She's in a very tight fitting sleeveless top, lotsa black eyeliner and saggy breasts. *BARF*

1st Day
I just started my freelance job today with a small web hosting & design company in PJ. I'm assisting in R&D, content management and to learn some project management skills, a little like what I did in my previous company, but I get more opportunities here cos the people are open to anything new & funky. At least they don't tell you to shut up & just listen.

I don't know how long I'll be here, since this is just a freelance position. What I do know is if I do a good job, and the people like what I've done and the opportunity arises, then they'll keep me. Being a small company, sometimes they prefer just bringing in freelances at times. Not that I'm complaining :)

So far things are looking bright for me. I hope things will be smooth for me. Been going through some rough waters, I hope I've found my clear stream.

London Explosions
Just hours after London celebrated their victorious win for the 2012 Olympic Games, the city was rocked by a series of devastating explosions. The well coordinated blasts brought London's famous transport system into a grinding halt. Fear and panic spread among its local population. Casualties have been confirmed and many are seriously wounded or in a state of shock.

The main question now is: Who did this? Who is the mastermind behind the blasts? Who are they?

Fingers have been pointing to one particular group. If you still don't know wo I'm referring to, it's the Al-Qaeda group. According to experts, the patterns of the blasts is consistent with Al-Qaeda's pattern. As of now, no groups have admitted to the blasts.

If this is really the work of terrorists, I just hope they self combust. If this is a work of some maniac running around in London's streets, I hope he/she/they self combust as well.

You crazy ego-maniacs with useless balls. No guts to come out fighting on your own. Instead, you send other people to fight for you and harm innocent people. If you're really the brave & fearless warrior you claim to be, come out and fight like one. Hiding behind your armies or some pathetic hut just goes to show you're nothing put inflated hot air. You're pissed with the politicians, take it out on them. Leave the innocent civilians alone.

*Note: I was hoping France would win the bid for the 2012 Olympics. Have also received words from a close friend in London, she's alright *hugs*

Dead Bug
I killed a grasshopper sometime in the evening just now. Probably came into my room when I left the window open. I took the can of Shieldtox and wiped it out. My dad said I shouldn' t have killed it He could've caught it and set it free. "Too bad" I said. "Any bug that comes into my room is a dead bug". Unless it's one of those deep fried grasshoppers I tried in Bangkok... then it's a digested bug. Nyeeehhh...

Sky Kingdom
There's a big hoo-haa in Jerteh, Terengganu. A guy by the name of Ayah Pin is being accused of unislamic teachings and spreading his "cult" influence to his followers.

He built a huge teapot, vase and some other structures which has symbolic meanings at the cost of several million ringgit throughout the years. He believes he has special powers to heal or to kill.

He spreads the message of love and tolerance among all the religion is this world. He believes that all religion can be practised freely by worshippers.

He walks into hindu temples and christian churches with no fear or restriction. He encourages people to pray or meditate according to their own religion. He believes in religious tolerance.

So why is he being accused of unislamic teachings? Just because he walks into temples and churches, he's considered going against his own religion, which is Islam?

An Opportunist
It's very disturbing when you realise some people you're sharing the premise with is actually an opportunist. Like an eagle hovering in the skies, just waiting for the right time to zoom in and make the catch.

It's like this: During the early stages of the RA meeting (which I didn't attend cos I didn't know RA was being set up at that time), guy L voiced his concern of the lack of a carwash bay within the condo premise - something the developer negelcted to provide. He then suggested to run a carwash business for the condo tenants. But his idea was nicely shot down by the president of the RA, citing conflict of interest.

A carwash business? In a condo? How's that for an opportunist? In the 1st place, a carwash bay is supposed to be a facility in any condo, not some business. I can't say my words reflect all condos in the country, but I've lived in 2 condos, and none have any form of carwash business at all. The carwash bay should be provided by the developer, right? Why is there a need for anyone to run a carwash business within a condo? This is a residential area, not some shopping mall.

So guy L got really pissed with the president and promptly resigned from the RA. And he's been going around telling all the neighbours how bad the RA is and that HE should be persident instead. Talk about politics!

Yesterday, while we were cleaning our unit, 2 indian chaps rang our doorbell. They claim to be going around collecting signatures as form of support to operate a carwash business. WTF?!? We told them 'NO' and said the carwash is a FACILITY, not a BUSINESS in a condo. They quickly left.

The nerve of such people...

*Note: A carwash bay has been allocated by the management after the RA voiced its concern.
