30's Gateway

I’m now a year older…thank God!

I organised a decent party last Saturday and it was really a happy moment..coincidently, Jew’s cousin came down from KL so it was timely to hang out and catch up with him although it was the 2nd time I met him..few weeks before I bought a BBQ+Steamboat set which uses electricity and it serves us quite right these few occasions we’ve had…very easy to prep as long as you’ve got necessary ingredients ready in your refrigerator…to cut the story short..we had lamb, beef, chicken, asparagus and of course enough supply for beer...I'm so happy I've finally got a full Dragon Ball Collection (Original DVD) and it didn't take long for me to watch it until the end..Tangkiu to those who have contributed!!

sorry picture taken isn't that clear

The day after … me, Jew and his cousin went (drive) to Betong at the Thai-Malaysia border…it took us approx 3 hours to reach the destination due lost of direction…we departed from home at about 11am and arrived at Betong after gone through the Custom-Immigration check up almost 3pm…nothing much to say about Betong as it hasn’t got any tourist attraction for visiting…main objective to be in Betong mostly for socialising..FYI, most people could speak BM as they’re about 10KM away off Thai-Malaysia border…night life is quite alright (Strip Club and Karaoke Pub) but price wise isn’t that impressive…we had a good time there though…went back to Penang the day after and I straight away went to work as we arrived just before 1pm..it was tiring yet a great adventurous journey…

That’s it…latest update sudah tu..hehehe..right! once again, many thanks for all the wishes..cheers chaps!

20 Days 20 Nigths in 2010

Test 1..2…3…test…

Wah…20 days suda inda mengupdate blog o….tidak banyak kejadian mungkin..atau tiada apa yang mau di cakap…mungkin juga teda mood mau menulis atau mungkin suda boring dengan apa yang terjadi di persekitaran terutamanya isu-isu dalam Negara….Sia rasa permulaan 2010 kali ni agak baik berbanding 2009 lepas….bukan mau kasi banding tapi every year..kita buli agak-agak suda what might or could happen kalu awal tahun lagi macam-macam suda kejadian di tempat keja kan…so for me this year…it was just nice….gembira juga sebab junior staff suda pandai berdikari instead of depending too much on me...mimang banyak lagi durang mau improve tapi after 5 months with them..I think they're doing quite good…susah juga young lads ni kan…ada saja free masa untuk curi tulang mimang automatis digunakan untuk curi tulang juga instead of doing something worth for their knowledge enhancement….

My health this year…I think I might get ill beberapa kali…last week I was not feeling well on Tuesday and yesterday I started to feel warm then sneezing…hari ni kerongkong mula rasa-rasa lain suda….macam antibody suda lemah sikit…need to do something la this….need to eat more fruits and minum more beer..haha…

My financial…too early to tell…but I don’t think it would make any different this year..maybe a little tight this year la.….ada beberapa plan dalam kepala and hopefully I can make them all come true la (house, kereta, kapal terbang, bot, perabot and etc)….buy that and this…pay that and this…paling benci mau membayar income tax every month..macam makin lama makin banyak pula tau…I never really care pasal my pay slip as long as I got paid tapi since beberapa bulan lepas…I began to check few details and I found out my income tax getting higher pula tau…mau juga jadi rakyat yang baik berbakti untuk Negara kenen bayar tax tapi kalu income tax almost and sometimes over 10% off net income sepa la buli tahan kan…I need to check with the management la this…sayang tu duit tu tau…huhu…

Husky the bengong….we left him selama 17 hari di boarding place for dog…when we came back and picked him up…wow! I was a little disappointed with the service…we pay RM17 per day for him to stay there but he ended up kurus kering compared to when he first went there… entah la…kana kasi makan kah tidah…when we got home…makan dengan lahapnya..minum dengan sepuasnya..so ketara inda cukup makan di sana….RM17 per day is more than enough for a man to survive but a dog??

Isu semasa…”allah”….am not qualified to comment pasal ni tapi tertarik di hati apabila isu ini menjadi sangat besar when it shouldn’t…when people ask my opinion on this…I explained to them..I don’t really care…I don’t mind if we couldn’t use it or can use it…I can have “Wel” as a replacement to “allah” if I want to...do not jadi macam sia k…ajaran sesat but it’s in your heart not mouth that matters…if you say your God’s name “Wel”, believing and thinking of your God...would that really make a different…well, I just know that we cannot samakan God to another….but by calling “Wel” as a name to God I don’t think it would create 2 Gods kan…when I read pasal ni over the internet…mimang ada yang bikin panas tapi durang pun manusia…we all banyak kelemahan and until we accept our kelemehan….I don’t think this issue can be resolved…

Today…am not quite well..macam ada tanda-tanda sakit kerongkong suda..huhu…mau p bili beer la ni..nasib lagi hari ni am off…my manager is on Holiday for 2 weeks since last week so every authorization has to go through me if it comes from Penang…today plan mau rest saja sambil-sambil tinguk DVD (marathon)..hehee..

So 2010..things am looking forward to...Schumi is back in the pit lane of Formula 1 race...I'm so excited about this as he's a living F1 legend (he won races and championships more than anybody in F1 history) this could be interesting...since his retirement, I totally ditch the F1 live telecast from my favourite channel to watch but not this year I guess..he's hunting for the 8th Championship and predicted he could do it within his 3 years contract with Mercedes....and of course weddings...May/June..August...Nov and last of course December...December is packed with wedding; my bro, my old school mate and a friend...wah looks like I have to travel back to Sabah couple of times la this year...no worries as long as I could be with them..hehe..a'ight..chao!

Thought of the day...

Sometimes I think of myself as an individual who strives hard to be a man who I am now but at some other time I think striving hard is just an excuse for me to gain better living than the better of me…

Well..to be honest with you I don’t really care what would that make a different of me…and sometimes listening to people who’s more superior than me made me wonder if they really that superior than myself (they always does) and others to have a long story of people living their live to certain extend…I might be doing the same and…frankly speaking when I spoke about some one it reflects my own admiration towards these individuals…..it does not matter how much they earn and how vastly their knowledge were…their philosophy is the only item I look for….I try to understand what makes them speak about these individuals and I even try to relate that to the life I’m having (where applicable) yet at the end of the story..it always fail to stand out and outclass individuals who have always being generous and very calm in many way of their doing yet successful.…

Would you think he would make an impact locally and world wide with his effort of wearing this costumes?

I love to talk about life and living the life yet when an individual begins talking about their thoughts towards breaking through the outside world for an impressive achievement would make me wonder myself (I did this juga ba sometimes as a metaphore) Why think about making the better of the outside world or breaking into their world when even locally an individual couldn’t even make the best out of it (to be a successful individual you’ll have to be among a successful group) It has always been a token for me as non-superior individual to listen and know about the outside as a knowledge of motivation but praising the outside world for an achievement is just not quite right to build up the inner motivation….I sometimes (well, most of the time) observe these individuals and think wow! This individual is really something! And thinking about that I begin to wonder further..why is this individual still here and having a conversation with me when I couldn’t understand what this individual were trying to achieve or tell me….well, I might have an impression towards this kind of individual for being knowledgable and kind for sharing the stories…the rational is always seems to be something intereting for me…was the individual trying to tell me about his/her ambition of being a successful individual preferable the outside world or was the individual trying to tell me that he/she is far more superior than me/the lads…was it a remarks or was it just a chit-chat showing his/her interest of making friends…

I come with this….I might be a little off set but first impression really help to find it way to work things out….I ‘d prefer to think that this kind of individual is pretty much trying to make his/her territory among others…he/she wants others to think he/she is not someone who is just someone but he/she is someone with something….what does it means?It does not bother me and I’m happy for what I have and of course I will always strive to the best of me….to what extend? Be God to decide….sometimes God will work his way out of the unexpected and always the way we couldn’t even get it until a certain period of time (if you’re grateful enough) Being a superior individual does not require high profile or being a well known individual at workplace…if an individual could make good impression and impressive performance at workplace then it is not a crime to think about making an impact onto the outside world….if an individual is just playing plain stupid at workplace thinking that would put him/her at a right path to great achievement….then forget about achieving the outside world….it’s just not quite right….would you play plain stupid at workplace whilst dreaming of gaining more earning in future or getting promotion to higher position…or far more ambitious to achieve something in the outside world?? Isn’t that obvious?? we can be a low profile individual and feel save at our own safety net at workplace but would that make you happy to dream of breaking into the outside world when you’re not making any impression towards the particular??? There's always a right way of doing it rather than talking about not pushing yourself outside the boundry for extra responsibility than what your job description prescribed....take a risk and learn from the risk??? I salute you for being smarter to avoid wider range of responsibility though...

* Betul-betul saya pun macam inda paham ni thought o..haha...

Another pain-in-the-ass "Roll-Out"

This project has been ongoing for the past 2 years...last year I had sacrificed much of my own time staying late (as late as 16 hours working straight with the help of cigarettes) and now it all started again...I was the one who wrote the entire test plans and now I'm using them against the "roll-out" release version that we had planned for this particular customer....still, we've not been given a full contract agreement although we had worked and fulfilled their requirements and this could worth possibly AUS$1.3 million to the company for at least 2 years of contract...

Today,I came in the office....bear in mind my manager is on 2 weeks leave and for that reason our Tech Director become so hyper tracing and reviewing all works performed by me, my manager and one particular senior developer in the UK....to my surprise, mistakes that were not meant to be mine become mine...."missed update" issue...I was pissed off but looking further at the issues, I realized there was no point to be mad at and as the only resident expert in Malaysia that they can rely on at this stage, I responded to the blame by making a phone call and explained the details professionally to the Tech Director...I'm left alone to deal and response to these issues to our Business Dev Manager in Aus, Tech Director and of course our CEO in the loop.....

I couldn't give better answer to the late update of the current "roll-out" version status although I had one particular reason where it was already been planned that another 'hot fix' will be deployed later on Monday (UK time which I was not in the office to confirm the fix) I explained what I've found and what I personally think needing further investigation..thankfully, the Tech Director was alright with my action...well, I'm doing what had been told and I didn't expect this would happened...today I've spent almost an hour documenting my findings and passed it over to them...then opened several more HITS issues as record of faults...the Tech Director has reviewed them and allocated me to work with the senior developer for another 'hot fix' ASAP...

Few minutes ago, I checked my web mail and read the emails received from the Tech Director...I'm a little relieved reading his response to my documented findings...still, there seems to have several HITS issues left not being updated and they are now becoming my next task, tomorrow to investigate then update them accordingly....noting down these tasks and time I might need to spend on investigation, I would not dare to say I would be able to complete them within 8 working hours.....I'm talking about a massive data as big as 9 G byte (SQL) needing investigation to why and where it went wrong to show wrong output..from where those extra outputs coming and to why they're not being output correctly...I provide the inputs and the senior developer would use these inputs for his fixes.....is this another re-play of last year? Challenge comes with prize and hopefully I can get that prize again if I could pull this off well although I now had 4 not-so-good-working-weeks......Thanked God though....

I think I've been complaining since my return.....forgive me....

Have mercy on them...

I was browsing through several blogs in my list today as I have nothing to do...and I was mad whilst watching this educational video clip on Tata's blog.....well, everyone is enjoying their Chinese New Year holidays and celebration right now....so I wouldn't complaint when there's not much of activity going on within the blogosphere in these couple of days (time to relax)...I had my CNY celebration though last weekend (2 consecutive days) with my dear friends and we had a good time together....eat, drink, K-OK and berjudi (I was just an observer..hehe)..

A'ight...I've said this several times to some of my close friends that if I were given an option either to kill a human or an animal...I would not hesitate to kill a human (as long as there's MOU...supaya inda kana masuk penjara..) I'm not saying that I willingly to kill any human if I were asked to...let's just say, a robber and a stray dog...I would kill the robber instead of the stray dog of which we (human with brain) are well aware of that a dog does not have a brain to think brilliantly and nor logically of right and wrong...instead the robber should have a better and clear thought about his/her action....

Watching the educational video clip on Tata's blog really pissed me off...we're in the midst of 21st Century, yet inhuman+uncivilized action occurs widely!!! Looking at how these bunch of merciless people treated these God's creations...I really wish I were given a M-16 and shoot them to death...what were they thinking?!! if they're going to take the benefit out of the pricey fur+skin, please do it properly!!! Couldn't they just kill 'em properly and have some mercy???

Do me a favour..suck my "censored" please...

During my holiday period in Tambunan last couple of weeks ago,I saw Blood Pressure tester devices on the dining table..there were 2 of them...digital and analog...I played with the digital one for a while (I tested twice and got the same reading)....I thanked god that I'm still in the range of a "NORMAL" blood pressure...well, perhaps I'm hitting the early stage of high blood pressure which is called HIGH NORMAL? I'm a little concern about the pulse count though....I had about 50-60 pulse count when I played football actively 10 years ago....with the current pulse count below I might get easily excited/mad I reckon....obviously, I'm lack of stamina already..huhu...macam mana mau naik Gunung Kinabalu ni..haha..

I have this attitude of not prefer to go neither hospital nor clinic to see a doctor whenever I fall sick etc...I don't really know why, perhaps in my previous life..I had some kind of bad experience with doctors? I was a guinea pig in a lab perhaps? berimaginasi betul...haha..I had an experience in 2007 when I was sick with high fever (it was all due to a mere sore throat then flu then fever) I was forced to take a sick leave by the manager...and I'm very proud that, it was the only time I took a sick leave in over 3 years working with the present company...from the office, I went to my panel clinic (nearby my house) and met the doctor there...I could barely remember what he tested/checked that day...body temperature, coughing, listened to my heart beat, checked my tonsil and asked me several questions like..do you smoke-how many per day? do you drink-how often and amount? you do sport-what sport-how often? how long has this been going? are you feeling cold?....and are you a virgin??I then looked at the doctor wondered what's that got to be with the fever...hahaha...are you nuts? I would be surprised if a doctor ask me that virgin question when I'm having a fever......enough with that crap..hahaha...a'ight, the doctor was kind of surprised pula once he heard my answers to his questionaire...he told me that I have a "very" normal blood pressure..I was surprised myself (thanked God) to know that I have a normal blood pressure whereas my life style is a little off set...well, shouldn't I be saying I had instead of I have at this moment?.....I drank heavily every week(sometimes weekdays and several times I came to work with the aftermath of drinking...kogutan...what's the purpose of drinking if not getting drunk?) smoke lots of cigarette either at home or work (i had a colleague who smokes..so whenever we were free...it was always a good time for a cigarette) plus the appetite of destruction on foods...I eat almost everything except "taie"..haha..I eat what so ever as long as it tastes good and I ate a lot during those days...with that kind of life style I was into at that moment, I was still being categorized in a "very" normal blood pressure group?...the word "very", used by the doctor was perhaps just a sweet-talk (was he trying to hit on me??Hahaha....) he prescribed me some basic medicines for fever and coughing as well as a one day sick leave approval...the next day, because I was already lazy and it was Friday...so I called the manager, telling him that I was not feeling very well to come to work...hahaha..

I'm grateful of what God has planned for me and his continues blessing towards me...I would not ask for more but if He could let me win a one time big Jackpot..I would be very much happy and will definitely contribute some of the winning money to help others...especially to welfare funding...and most importantly, I'll be me of what I am now...a simple decent man...amen...

What??...were you thinking about that "censored" thingy? It's just a blood...anyone willing to suck some of my blood out? any part time vampire? I wonder if taking out some of your blood out of your body would lessen the pressure...is that a valid theory?????? Can anyone tell me??

* Sent my bike for an overhaul as well as exhaust service yesterday...it cost me RM145....I'm officially bertambah pokai....huhu.....Wel says "maggie mee, I'm coming to you...." and I had 2 not-very-good-weeks so far in 2009....thanked God though..

God is good....

Kehaaaa!!!! I'm on leave AGAIN tomorrow and next Monday!!! How's that sound to you?? I'm absolutely happy, excited and enjoying this holiday month...this time around, I have something to look forward...thanks to my big bro..Madarch...he told me there's an anime "Wangan Midnight", a story about the Devil Z car....the first model of Nissan Fairlady Z (S30)..kehaaa! Although the characters are not as great as the Initial D...still, it has one thing in common that makes me so interested to download and watch....Yeah! It's about car!..you heard me.....I love car very much especially old models and I wish to have plenty of money then assemble my own "beiol" version of a prototype car for street racing..perhaps for drag race and drifting as well..it's a dream I longing to..huhu..too bad I'm "still" a poor man...God have been kind enough to let me survive into the wild world..so I'm still grateful for that...thanks k God...

Jew..macam mana ni..do we have a deal?? BBQ kan this weekend..*wink wink*..alasan supaya si Claire datang menunaikan cek beer dia..haha...

Today....whilst checking my bro's cbox..I saw his response to my earlier message as follow....

3 Dec 08, 17:06

madarch: hehe.. sia beli complete DVD la siap ngan free cd soundtrack oo..

2 Dec 08, 23:47

wel: sia tengah download..hehe....3d cantik tp watak punya bida..haha..

...cis!! Last couple of years ago, I was the one who brought my whole complete set of Initial D to Sabah to let him watch..haha..no worries k..nothing worth trusting than your own blood (quoted from the movie Wyatt Earp) that's good though...perhaps we can open a designated cinema room in your house....with all my DVD collection...serving beers and my favourite hot dog 1901...sound good huh...hehe...life ain't that complicated if we knew how to enjoy (cherish) it..

Enjoy your weekend and Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all fellow blogger! Cheers!

20 favourable survey questions

I received this so called "Top 20" tag last week from Joan?..I wasn't really in the mood of blogging last week..why?Well..my schedule was fully occupied with loads of work at office..maintaining and supervising other colleagues..server problem and etc...and most of all...my half brother was in Penang the whole week....using my machine..doing his homeworks as well as being the typical community-networking fan (surfing and chatting in Friendster and NetLog almost the whole day..)..I know it's not good to say something about your family or relative but I was not really happy seeing my stuff being placed where it shouldn't be..the keyboard which was rotated almost 90 degrees anti-clock-wise.....the bed sheet that needing re-organizing once he woke up...although the mess he made was not that terrible but he should have realised that once he entered my room on the first day he was here....all stuffs were in place and organized......he's already 19 (I think la..) and he kinda knew that already..I was his baby-sitter when he was as small as 4 years to 8 years back in Sabah..to tell you all, I used to be a baby-sitter to my young cousins years ago...I bath them..prepare food for them...teach and play with them...making sure they have enough sleep during the day etc...those were the days when I was still a cute-teen-boy...muka inda garang..so budak pun suka la...I used to be called as a baby face..I'm now a man..ha.ha...macam ada gaya mau menyimpang pula ni tau..

Alright, let's get back to the tag thingy...sorry for the delay in responding and thanks for the tag Joan..

Instructions: Remove 1 question from below, and add in your personal question, make it a total of 20 questions, then tag 8 people in your list, list them out at the end of this post. Notify them in their chat box that he/she has been tagged.

1. At what age do you wish to marry?
I wonder if marriage is the most ultimate achievement in life or in a relationship?ha..ha..let it works on its own naturally...I don't have to worry about this when there are things that more important than this...

2. What is your most favourite thing to do?
Buy-watch DVD...drink beer with friends and traveling/vacation which is quite limited (bukan banyak duit ba..he.he..)

3. What would you give up in return to eat all you want in the world and not get fat?
Huh?apa punya soalan ini?correction ah..its not the food that causing fatness la...its the individual habits that causing this...it doesn't count if you eat what so ever and still maintaining your excercise and not being lazy to do house chores etc...again stop blaming the FOOD...it causes other health issue but not entirely fatness alone...Food is our source of aspiration as well for the beauty of a mind.....anda setuju?Katakan yes kepada sigup untuk diet yang bermutu, bergaya dan keemasan..ha.ha..Dunhill since 1998

4. If you can have 1 dream to come true, what would it be?
Money in the bank that will never finish. Unlimited funds for a lifetime. Money = Power..hahaha (I have to agree with you la Joan...but not for the power ah...I love to have lots of money and wish I could use it to help others...especially my own people in Sabah..this is supposed to be done by all the local rich people in Sabah but they're just too selfish to think about their own life style...)

5. Do you believe you can survive without money?
It's not possible but it's not going to be easy in theory....I'd recommend to watch to "Into The Wild" movie then make you own assumption or judgment..I may and may not survive...its His will...

6. What are you afraid to lose the most?
I really don't know..even if I lost my ID card..I can still create a new ID Card kan..but I think I would not want to lose my mind..losing the memories in my whole life would not be fun or easy for everyone as well as to the people around you..macam baby..otak blank saja.

7. What do you feel like doing right now?
Lots of money first! then traveling and holidaying..kehaaaa..

8. If there's someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?
Being a true gentleman sometimes needs braveness and courage and being a thoughtful/brilliant gentleman sometimes needs brilliant-decision-making as well as brilliant-observation-skills to know when is the right time and moment to perform his art of acts without causing disturbance or inconvenience causes either past, present and future life/relationship....I'd confess myself to her if it's the right time and moment for her to know the truth....she to decide...

9. List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you.
This is going to be hard la Joan..I didn't get the chance to really get to know you back then..ha..ha..as per observation..she's charming..lovely smile..she's short but cute...she's intelligent as per her entries in her blog so far...

10. What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?
I don't have any idea at all on how to response to this question la...IGNORED/REMOVED

11. What is the thing that will make you think he/she is bad?
She wants to see me naked all the time..ha..ha..(she is so baaaad huh) OK..betul punya la..lying then cheating

12. What is your ambition?
I think this is the most famous survey question during the secondary school...each year, entering a new class then doing the ice-breaking..often, the teacher would ask..stand and tell us your name and ambition..hu.hu..I still remember..I told them I wanted to be a doctor..a lawyer la..an engineer la..a pilot la...a terrorist la..but at the end of the day..none of that been accomplished..ha.ha..now what? I just want to live happy and enjoy my life..would it make a different if you're a lawyer with loads of money but still can't be happy with your life....hu.hu..but of course we always want the best for the living...

13. Is anyone really perfect?
Define "perfect" and find me anyone that you find perfect exists in that person...

14. If you had a choice to be rich or happy, which one would you pick ?
Joan: Does rich means got money...If yes, then I will be happy. :) (Again..I'd go for the same lame response macam you also ah Joan..ha.ha...)

15. If you have a chance, which part of your character you would like to change?
Character as in attitude or behaviour....tell me what you do and don't like about me...I'll see what I can do for the better me BUT am not going to be someone that I'm not....it's not that easy to please everyone but its easy to annoy everyone..hu.hu..

16. Who is the person that you can share all your problems with?
God..I don't have to ask Him to listen to me or feel sad for me when I'm down...

17. How do you see yourself in 10 years time?
Theoretically..this question is wrong.....come on la..5 years is acceptable but not 10 years..why not 20 years pula...in working life, this would bring up your personal goal but in real life...this could means..a happy marriage..with beautiful, loving, caring and loyal wife/husband..cute and adorable child..financial stability..living in a nice and comfy house...driving a nice and decent car of your dream...traveling and vacationing with family...stop dreaming and get back to your real life at present..why need to worry the future 10 years from now if you're not worry about the present?

18. If someone had found a path to immortality to be bestowed upon you in exchange for one of your abilities, would you take it, and what would you sacrifice for it?
Highlander la ni..walawei..anyone can offer me the ability to fly? I'd love to have that and willing to offer you anything that I could...

19. What is the best thing that had happened in your life?
My life is already the best thing and I'm living the best thing....should I ask for more best thing?

20. If you could compete in the Olympics, what event would you participate in? Why?
Swimming looks fun to me...shooting looks fun..I could possibly select these two...why? they're fun and enjoyable...

21. What does happiness means to you and are you satisfied with what you've got?Would you select satisfaction over happiness?
Happiness is a state of mind being excited, relax, ease and free BUT happiness only real when shared...am I satisfied with my present life/living? I haven't achieved that much in my life so I'll have to say No, I'm not yet satisfy..Satisfaction over Happiness huh...If I want to get satisfaction I may have to sacrifice some of my happiness or sometimes not at all...the theory is almost similar when you're studying for exam...you'll have to ignore the temptation or invitation from your friends to go out for a drink etc....you missed the happiness but you'll be satisfied with your hard work when the result comes out...then there comes the happiness when it's time to celebrate your achievement...I'd go for satisfaction...but I wouldn't say that I'm totally on for satisfaction as my first choice..depending on every situation I'm in....

I've done mine and added one personal question at 21st..As per rule, I have to tag another 8 bloggers to revive the tag with a new question at each end...so, these bloggers below..if only you're convenience to blog (anytime)..that would be much appreciated..cheers!
