Bored

Some random shots.

The one with the Splurging (part 2)

I finally got my Ipod today, after having pre-ordered it from Apple. I had it delivered to my relatives in America. They are currently staying at my place, and will be here for a good one month.

The Ipod that I got was a Ipod Photo 60gb. That's half the size of my harddisk. Very fancy stuff. I took a test drive to the gym today, which came preloaded with 30gb of songs. My uncle has
4000+ songs in his notebook, and he took 2 hours to download the songs to my Ipod.. Bonus I tell you..



So, working out at the gym today was indeed more exciting.. I ran the extra mile on the treadmill. I was listening to Eva Cassidy's album and didn't notice the dashboard on the treadmill. I am definitely in the world of my own now, that kinda reminded me of the Nike ad, with the guy and his alter ego.

After I got home, I decided to wash my car and saw a dragon fly mating with my car.



The dragon fly was initially green, and camouflaged into red, which was the colour of my car...
In front of my house was a bunch of kids lepaking, and they seemed puzzled of me taking photos of my car's antenna.

Ok, gotta go now, got to meet the boyz at Cafe 7.

The one with the Splurging

Yesterday, I received some disturbing news.. 2 pharmacists came to my office, and conducted a free health test, which includes blood pressure, kidney, liver and diabetic tests.

Overall, the result came out on the average side except for my blood pressure, a bit on the high side which was at 130/65. The ideal pressure for me (under 30 years of age) would be 120/85 ( i have no idea what the figures represent). Anyway, I would expect to be fit like a bull, since I have been workign out the gym for at least 4-5 times a week, but apparently that wasn't the case.. It must be that work is taking it's toll on me, cause I have never had such probelms before..

*edit*
I figured that it can't be that everyone in my office is having some form of illness, therefore, they bastards must be con men.

So guess what, today, I decided to destress and give myself a treat. I have been working out way too hard physically and mentally.. It wasn't planned it at all.. I was supposed to meet my uncle at Subang Parade after work, near the Coffee Bean entrance, and I was already 20 minutes late as I was rushing to finish some work.. I got there searching for him but he was no where to be found...

So... I walked towards a booth selling handphones, curious about the K750i.. I was browsing through the phones, and as I looked up, the salesmen gave me this grin.. He then said, hey, I know you, we used to go to the same school.. It took me a good 5 seconds before I could recognise him, and in my heart, I instantly thought, hey, I dont remember you speaking in english before... We chatted a bit, and I asked him about the K750i .

me: Since we come from the same school, give me good price lah..
Sean: Can can, no problem.
me: Sure or not..
Sean: okay lah... RM1510, credit card price...

*gasp*

last weekend, I enquired on the phone, and the price I got was RM1780, cash. shits, this is too good to be true.. Without hesitating, or even trying to bargain further, I whipped out my credit card and the damage was done.






The whole transaction lasted merely 10 minutes. Talk about reckless splurging.
I found my uncle sitting inside Coffee Bean, sipping on this Latte while reading The Star..

*The splurging doesn't end here. To be continued*

So tonight, I am just gonna be a good boy and stay home....

Break the cycle

I am such a dumbass..

Somehow, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, making the wrong decisions in life, again.

London and Me

The recent London bomb blasts may have just worked out my way... Dont be silly, I have nothing to do with it.. My colleague who is working in London at the moment wants to come back to KL and he needs a replacement for 2 weeks. Reason being that his family is there with him, and he doesn't feel safe anymore, so why take the chance. Naturally, it was music to my ears.

Wah.. free trip to London, I want I want!!!

So, he is gonna sell the idea to my boss and if all goes well, I should be in London soon. For 2 weeks at least. *keeps fingers crossed*

The Paid Holiday

I only got to the office at 11am today and immediately my colleague informed me that the network was down, meaning, unable to access any server, no Internet, and MSN.. nothing!! do you feel my pain?

WWHAATTTTTTT THE FUCKKK!! This can't be happening.... I have got bloody deadlines to meet and the other project is due to start next week. NooOooOoooooooooooo....

It was like a freaking jail sentence, or more like a paid holiday.. I did absolutely nothing but to annoy Yen and she got really irritated after I threw paper planes at her..
...
By 5.00pm, the network was still down, apparently TMnet was the culprit. I couldnt endure the boredom nomore, so packed my bags and left, while some perfected the art of LLB (look like busy). So much for wanting to stay back today.

oh yah, before I forget,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENISE!!!

Hope you have a blast and may all your wishes come true...

Dear Big Bro,

I was in the middle of watching Two Weeks Notice on Cinemax until T smsed me.. She was having some problems and was ready to end her 2 year relationship with her bf. Her reason being that he cheats on her.. Certainly, I was shocked to receive such sms from her as I hardly know her and annoyed cos it was my second time trying to watch the movie, but I suppose she needed someone to talk to, I called her back.

The question is, why subject herself to such mental torture? If she can't tolerate no more of his deceitful ways and if love has fade away, I suppose it's better to part ways.. Not that I am an expert when it comes to relationships, but it doesn't take Einstein to bitch slap her to tell her what's happening..

So, apparently it wasn't his first time, nor was his second time.. What is she blinded by? Money? he can't even afford to buy his own ciggies, so he can't be rich.. looks? can't comment on that cause I have not met him. hmm, somehow comes back to my theory that chicks dig jerks.. It must be that soothing feeling that they will break their fragile hearts one day or ability to live life recklessly ala Young and Dangerous, you know that 'secure' feeling..

Given a chance, I hope she doens't look back and be strong when dumping him.. It could be that she's afraid to take the first step, or maybe the thought of being alone and lonely terrifies her..

I tried to...

I tried to wake up early and be on time at work, but I got in an hour late.

I tried to climb up the stairs today this morning, but I opted the lift instead.

I tried to get some work done by not chatting on MSN and browsing the Internet but I still ended up talking with YH.

I tried to cut my lunch hour short, but I ended up having a 2 hour lunch break.

I tried to work out at the gym, but I only got as far as the parking lot.

I tried to cook myself dinner, but bought dinner instead.


It must be cause it's Friday!!!!


Word for today is: Mitty
An ordinary, timid person who indulges in daydreams involving great adventures and triumphs.

The one with the Bad Hair Day

So I had a bad hair day today. I looked at the mirror before leaving home and it looked fine, like how I would normally do my hair.. Unfortunately, that's not how it seemed.

Bad hair day scene 1.
me: hey, we are going for lunch, do you want to join us?
Denise: eh?? what's wrong with your hair? why is it so messy today?
*looks at reflection by the window*
me: okay what? what's wrong with my hair? normal what..

Bad hair day scene 2.
after lunch, over heard Ann and Yoggie P's discussion about work, and i offered some help
me: (i uttered some crap, and wouldn't want to bore you guys with it)
ann: gosh.. you guys are really having a bad hair day...
* helloo?? were you even listening?* hehe... looks like I am not the only one.

Bad hair day scene 3.
Mr.Boss: Why never gel your hair today ar?

OKAY!! So I suppose that everyone will have a bad hair day one way or another.. Should have just worn a cap to work today.. *sighs*


Saw Ning at the gym today... Lucky her, she's on leave for the past 2 days.. Which made me wonder, why would she spend her time working out at the gym than to unwind at some beach or pamper herself to a spa treatment.

The one with the Secret Blog

So, I was chatting with ScubaSteve until I noticed the tiny blogger logo on my colleague's monitor.. To my surprise, they were both gossiping about a secret blog, which they cannot reveal, and assured me that I do not know the author.. What's the who purpose of having a blog if it's not meant to be shared? Must be some notsopleasant stories about them..

Everyone in the office is falling ill, including me.. My nose feels like a broken pipe and my throat is starting to sore..Ahh, a couple of panadols will do the trick.

On the other hand, anyone interested to participate in a photography outing? Click here for more details. . Not sure if I am going yet... but, if you decide to sign up, let me know yah..

Experiments..

It's disgusting when smelly dirty old men attends BodyJam and starts shaking his ass..*tries to erase the thought*

So, I went to the gym today with ThePooh at The Curve today.. Since I didnt have a Passport membership, I had to sweettalk the hot receptionist to let me enter..Lucky for me, she's having a nice day...

So at first glace, the gym looks a lot bigger than my resident gym.. There were two levels, cardio on the main level and machines/studio on top.. There's a bigger crowd there, but you dont feel it probably due to the vast open space..

I attended Body Jam with ThePooh.. This was my first time to the class and my god, it was a total disaster.. The beat was way too fast and I was constantly two steps behind everyone... As a result, I kept bumping into people, taking up other people's place and pissed the people around me... I always thought that I could dance, but again, I thought wrong... ThePooh on the other hand was in-sync with the rest although it was also his first time.. or so he claims.. I am starting to have second thoughts...

After the humiliation, I dropped by a fruit store and decided to treat myself by making a fruity ice blended drink... I walked into the store and have no idea what to get, there were bananas, oranges, watermelon, grapes, strawberries, durians etc.. ahh.. so much choices... So, I went with the obvious choice.. oranges... cant go wrong with that, just have to pick the orangiest colour and one without a dent, and some bananas to go with it..

I came home with a comb of banana and 2 oranges.. quite semangat la..




























what a mess i made..



















the final product




The drink was indeed refreshing.. hmm maybe add some honey too next time.. needless to say, I had to cleanup the mess I made which is more work than making the drink...

Random thoughts...

It has been raining for the past 3 days, and every Tuesday for the past month..

War of the Worlds is a must see.. Dakota Fanning's performance was really good... Shouldn't say too much as I may spoil it for you..

Stupid motorcyclist going the wrong direction nearly knock us down.. One would think that by observing the traffic from left on a one way traffic would be sufficient.. That's obviously not the case in KL...

I had a two hour lunch break having Kenny Rogers at Midvalley... Seems like LOT'S of people have 2 hour lunch breaks..

Stevie.G has finally pledge his future at Liverpool, at least until this weekend.. Don't know what the big fuss is all about, he's definitely an excellent player.. no doubts about it, but is he top 3 in the world?? hmm... time to move on..

City of London has won the bid to host Olympic 2012, 24 hours later, terrorists released 6 bombs killing 35 people and counting...

The one with the Commotion

On my way to the gym, I was circling the parking lot and noticed a group of people gathering outside the foyer.. I didnt pay much notice to them as I thought it was hitz.fm's cruisers doing their rounds.. (not much of a sucker for freebies eh)

So after 15 minutes, I finally found a space to park my car and got closer to see what the commotion was all about... To my surprise, I saw a truck filled with Durians and the other with Mangoesteens.. It looked very much like a scene from my local pasar malam, but everyone was dressed in business suits and ties.. There was a table nearby where a man was chopping Durians, while others stood close by observing him... I have never been a fan of Durian's, so I covered my nose in disgust and proceeded to the gym..

As I was climbing up the stairs, I looked up and saw a banner which says, Welcome to **** Annual dinner...

O_o

And as I was entering the lift, not that I was eavesdropping, but I just couldn't help but to notice that this chick talking about EK9 and I thought she uttered RX-8 faintly... finally, a girl speaking my language..

haha, so I lied about the Annual dinner part, but it was really funny seeing men in suits eating durians..


Had dinner with Tall-Elaine at Pizza Uno... what was suppose to be a catch up dinner turned out to be a candle light dinner cause the fuse box kept tripping until it went dead.. oh well...

okay.. it's been a long day, gotta go sleep now...

The one with the Part time job

I can't blog much tonight cause I will be catching War Of The Worlds in 30 minutes time... So this is gonna be a quicky..

I was chatting with DarthDavid over the weekend and it went something like this..

me: hey, how was your weekend?
DD: hey.. it was fine.. just got back from my part-time job
me: oh? i didn't know that you worked part time.
DD: yeah.. i have been working part-time for about 2 months now, but please dont tell anyone in the office.
me: okay.. but why? you are not selling drugs or VCD's are you?
at this point the invited me to start Webcam...



















God knows what he does for his part-time job, and where he got that costume.. but you must say that it's kinda cool eh?

Baywatch, Mandarin and four silly drunkards...

The night started peacefully... I arrived at Baywatch 11:40pm to find StupendousSteven and WankyWeng already there.. I thought that I would be an early night, until the beer starting to flow in...oh, how was I so wrong.. We were layaning to Venus Williams beating the crap out of Lindsay Davenport and damn mossies kept sucking my blood out of me... until, SampahSelwyn showed up, that was when the night really begun...

4 guys, and ? jugs of beer = nonsensical crap..

As the beer kept pouring in, the conversation generally got more interesting... it started off with the rapist whom damaged our nation's reputation..

WankyWeng: Lucky he's locked up for good....
SampahSelwyn: yah, i think he got life and 24 strokes of rotan
StupendousSteven: if you were to consult him as a physiatrist , he would probably say RAPE only la.. gf giving you probelms? RAPE her laah... feel like getting laid? go rape someone today!

Then there was the dude who fucked the kid to death and claimed that he was just bathing the poor animal.. What's up with you people? If you are horny and broke, go fuck a 2 dollar whore lah..

paint the face, tonsil jab, facials? what do they really mean? I will leave you with something to ponder about..

so what makes a relationship last? is it the communication factor? or the ability to tolerate someone? what makes a relationship make or break? I for one am not an expert in this department, but I suppose everyone has faults.. tolerate where you can, and when you can't do it anymore, that's when you part ways..

SampahSelwyn: if you can find happiness with an older lady, would you go for it?
me: Of course lahh... I always have preferred older women... not so judgmental and mental also.. and, more experienced in bed? that's subject to debate all together...
SampahSelwyn: got hot MILF's in my office coming on to me...

-_^

Go for it lah!

god is fair.. he brings balance to the force.. for some unexplainable reason, ugly guys will always date a hot chick.. probably some loser or wanker who drives around in his K car, and I mean hideously ugly.. is it for some reason that hot chicks have bad taste in men? does it bring them security/comfort? does it bring them excitement? I have eligible, professional career friends, and we all ask the same question over and over again, Where have all the chicks gone to?

At 1:30am, the last call was 30 minutes ago.. David Hasslehoff and Pamela Anderson was still noo where to be found and it's closing time... It's been a while since we had silly conversations like this, and I for one didn't want to go home..

So, here comes our next venue.... Mandarin..

<<* Mandarin Break Glass* >> Only go there when there's no other place to go, and I mean last resort.. That has got to be the wackiest, sleaziest, noidontwanttobecaughtinthere pub you can find... The prostitutes there make you feel as though you are at PatPong.. Only the stage is missing for the PingPong show..

At 3:40am, we could not bear the test of time anymore. The hookers started to put up a sleazy show with the customers.. It was a very disturbing sight and could no longer take the mental torture, so we decided to go home... Parked next to my car was Ahmed, the delivery boy for The Star newspaper.. That's when we knew it was way past our bedtime.

Presentations, Foot Massage and all alone for dinner

Back by popular demand, we were requested to conduct the second round of interview. This time, I didn't have the luxury to inflict more misery to the candidates as it was a aptitude test, where problem solving, presentations and group discussions were involved.. It was their time to shine..

I got in the office a bit late so didnt have a chance to mingle as everyone was seated in the hall.. There were a total of 33 candidates shortlisted... to my surprise, none of the candidates I had rejected or kept under KIV had been re-called * i felt a bit guilty for being so strict the last time around*

okay... this time around, instructions were again simple.. evaluate them based on their communication skill, interpersonal skill and presentation skill.. I thought everyone was mediocre except a few really outspoken ones, which you could identify right from the start.. However, my gut feeling tells me something fishy about them...yes, they may be outspoken, but certainly dont want smartasses working for you.. they will turn around and bite you in the bum.. u know what i mean...

me: So, can you elect someone from this group to give a 5 minute presentation.
Rocker Kev: hey guys, can I do the presentation? I was born to be on stage and I am sure we will win. So can i do it? pls pleeaseee... i am dyingggggggg to do it!!!!!
group 2: *looking shocked and surprised* okay lor...

wtf? how can he manipulate the group like this? Some of the members were of course pissed, and they too wanted to present.. last I check, this is still a democratic country and he could at least have ask politely and not insist, if nobody wants to do, then fine lah... it's good to be confident, but it's another thing to be a cocky bastard.

After the presentations, we adjourned for lunch where cold Domino's pizza was served.. people were more relaxed and joked around.. some took the opportunity for to suckup to the MD, while some sat quietly, sulking by the corner..

The other half of the day, I was supposed to inspect on my apartment with David, cos the new tenant wants it repainted.. However, when I got there, I was told that the contractors were sent home as the management's policy doesnt allow any renovation work to be carried out on weekends.. bloody hell, if you can't work, at least call and tell me lah.. So, since we were already there, and fought my way through the jam, we treated myself to a foot massage across the street.. ( too bad i didn't bring my camera with me)

Anna: Is this your first time?
me: Yes, does it hurt?
Anna: Yes, if it's your first time, it will hurt but slightly only but dont worry, I will be gentle. I also recommend you for a full body massage, very cheap, now got promotion, if you come on weekdays, only RM75..
me: full body massage? wahh.. sounds interesting.. what does it include?
she slowly cracked my toe, one by one... rubbing more soya bean oil to it...
Anna: Olive oil massage therapy, very relaxing wan, you want special also got..

0_O

I have to admit lah, the session was relaxing and it helped me to destress alot.. I didn't even feel any pain, and it was over before I even knew it.. the foot massage lah, what do you think? however, david was screaming and groaning in pain for most of the time.. he kept asking my masseur to apply more pressure, saying i have thick skin la.. Not my fault la if his masseur's arms like Popeye's ok..

The long queue

I have never queued at a petrol station for more than 10 minutes... it was like a freakin' carnival..While I was waiting, there were black african peddlers knocking on windows trying to sell some fake Rolex.. then, at the corner of the entrance, one old makcik selling nasi lemak, and her son selling China Press and Nanyang Siang Pau.. There were balloons and clowns in the Caltex station... what the heck?

-_^

haha..
