mahalo blogspot .... aloha wordpress!

2009-04-24T17:05:00.002+08:00

hi to all avid followers of my blog (as if... )

i have migrated my junks (some call it blog) to wordpress. a big thank you to blogger for hosting my blogs for the past years, swallowing my huge chunk of rantings and cursings...

why the migration?
basically, wordpress has given me a more adult approach in the blogworld.
the other one major factor is, i have wordpress application on my iTouch. which makes my access to blog in my daily journey to work a joy. apart from that... ermmm... i think thats about it.

meanwhile... enjoy..

DelayNoMore = Diu lay lo mo

2009-04-09T10:41:00.003+08:00

my brother's caption read Delay No More... so i went "hey! thats the brand of undies my wife got me...". to my surprise was his explanation behind the brand.... here goes.

"Delay no more" comes from Cantonese foul words with similar sounds (Diu lay lo mo), which means "fuck your mother".

Seldom used seriously and speak in verbally. "Delay no more" appears in writing as joke among Hong Kong people. A fashion brand in Hong Kong produced T-shirts with "DelayNoMore" on it and advertised it on large billboards.

oakleyless eyes

2009-04-08T14:33:00.003+08:00

i think i do have strange visions. apart from my imperfect eyesight, i have a pretty bad night blindness issue. resulting me squinting for clarity in most occasions.

for the past two days, I've purposely tried to live the day without my Oakley. i do admit that it limits my already poor vision to look at the beautiful world. no more checking out of nice shoes on cool dudes, no more getting excited over cleavages, no more gore ogling of gigantic women, no more cute babies admiration from the distance.. gosh, this deal sucked.

on the other side, there's something good about it. without assisted vision, i'm a more composed and relaxed person. I'm more calm & couldn't care more of what's happening beyond the circumference of my vision. I'm beginning to love this...

true?

2009-04-02T14:22:00.002+08:00

2009-03-25T14:01:00.002+08:00

it was exposed that the one from the special breed was accusing the one from the normal breed for twisting words. contradictingly, in the same paragraph, it was twisting its own words. please do grow up my little pony. cos fantasy, is when i go get into all the lifestyle of rich and famous yet very pretentious as if there's no dust in my life.

u are one really silly breed in fact. you disgust your breeders flying status with your own shit.

never had i cared about how your other similar breeders think about me. but again, u'll never know my limit.

only fools believe and trust your gold plated self. never one knew about the rust in you. or probably the fools knew it, but they were too dumb.

you go on have a great life with all your bullshit fantasy. trust me, it wont be for long.

masturbator

2009-03-24T11:47:00.002+08:00

a man was caught masturbating at one of the Yishun void deck, under the influence of alcohol. he also pee'd after wanking his willy in front of a 45 year old woman. this dude later apologized to the lady in court. oh, and he was fined S$1.5k.

Ouch... thats a lot to pay for self pleasure.

This news from Straits Times might just keep my wife on her toes. It happened on the "block hantu" near our place.

A 14-YEAR-OLD student was found dead with a stab wound in her torso in a Woodlands flat early on Thursday.

Police were alerted to the death at Block 852 Woodlands Sreet 83 at around 2.50am.

The victim, a Chinese girl, was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene at around 3.06am.

A 51 year-old woman, believed to be the girl's mother, has been arrested.

Police have classified the case as murder, and will charge the suspect in court on Friday.

numbers history

2009-03-12T15:04:00.003+08:00

The numbers we write are made up of algorithms, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) called arabic algorithms, to distinguish them from the roman algorithms (I; II; III; IV; etc.).
The arabs popularise these algorithms, but their origin goes back to the phenecian merchants that used them to count and do their commercial contability.

Have you ever asked the question why 1 is “one”, 2 is “two”, 3 is “three”…..?
What is the logic that exist in the arabic algorithms?
There are angles!

Look at these algorithms written in their primitive form and check it up! …

Sensy Life

2009-03-12T09:59:00.002+08:00

Life is all about making sense doesn't it. Things that doesn't make any sense, ruins life.

My boss has this overwhelming usage of constituting work with senses. He got things moving. As much as I hate it when he starts, I'll soon learn that whatever he did makes sense.

Some people could have just spoil this positive feature in life. By wrongly thinking that the wrong things they did make sense. Sigh.

wife's asthma is getting from bad to worse. this 2 months, we've been to hospitals and clinics for more than 10 times. i've got her fish oil tablets, some aromateraphy smellies, ventolins.... but it seems never enough. time to get a nebulizer. our fucked up smoking habits didnt help any bit.

i hope she recovers soon. i hope. its very tiring to see her grasping for breath. i wish i can take all that asthma thing from her. sigh...

my valentine's day affair

2009-02-16T11:01:00.003+08:00

i had a good valentines day. i gave wife a sidney poitier autobiography and 3 valentines day card. (2 to be exact, cos 1 was stolen... hehe..) not forgetting the fluffy heart stick. i got my fair share as well. i got gifts which is affiliated to my likings. i got the golf punk mag, the mickey football paperweight, 2 pairs of trunky, a twist bar, and brushy brushy. of course, the creative customized V day card. on the valentines day eve, we exchanged out gifts. FIL just had to spoil her gift plans for me when we got back from our practise. ramaging the table, he asked wats all those she's packing and she had to admit, it was gifts for me. mine was planned... the main gift was hidden under the pillow. i just gave her the heart furball and a tiny card. even though that, she wasnt disappointed. we got up to our room and there, she found her surprise. the joy and happiness in her expression tells it all. i'll save the details how the gift was discovered k...

the actual day, im actually having an affair. its with one of the sport i love, golf. i had a round of 18 with FIL. after 9 whole months of not playing, it feels soooooooooooo good to be back. after a few struggles, i managed to gain back my composure. after golf, it was another affair with cars. FIL did some modification to make the car ever smoother and lighter. we got home tired. damn tired. slept and only to wake up at 8pm. geez.. what a waste of time. now, its the dinner. brought wife to jack's. two words... totally dissappointed. i dont wanna bitch about this right now, cos it will only spoil my blogging mood.

come sunday, me and wife had a kissy outing. la vivo, to the m'square garden. spend a lot on food and other junkies. i have to stop spending for now....

overall, i had a good valentines. yumms.

im happy my brother got an apartment for himself. i believe he could never be happier. im proud of that little bastard to be exact. living in the 'toilet' room for many years, renting room from some friend must've been tiring. now you finally have a place to call home. at least you have a property now. its YOURS! i dont even have any to begin with ... sigh.

do up your funky shit!

im truly happy for u. im happy. happier to see u happy.

fun bun hun

2009-02-12T14:32:00.001+08:00

fun can be the total opposite of what it meant in an instant. similarly, fun can be injected immediately to relieve sadness into someone having a bad day. fun is not something that needs to build up. fun is something sponteneous. fun varies in every walks of life.

in the other island of fun, lives boredom. where all fun died, there celebrates mr boredom. it can be matter of seconds to hijack mr boredom to the fun world.

fun.... dont go waiting for it. it may or might not come. the fun that you wait might not be as fun as the one you throw yourself into. life is not all about fun, yes, we all know that. life is shorter when you live thru boredom either. yes! statistic shows! sarcastic shows too.. hehe

my point is, the lamest thing to others, might be a triggering point of fun for you. you wont know. the stupidest thing can be the the most fun thing ever, based on how you look at it! the ever fun Sony PS3 might turn out boring, if u dont find it as fun. The ever boring monopoly might just be Fun if you throw yourself into it and intend to have fun with it. (monopoly still blows though... heh)

i just wanna be happy. i wanna do fun things. things that creates unhappiness can never be fun. fun, dont come to me... i'll hunt for you.

aaah.....

I believe as of now, u probably have heard about the 3rd shoe hurling incident in Stockholm on an israel lecturer. So what's up with the shoes? ok personally I find it as the greatest insult. Even before I knew of the whole big deal about tossing the shoes value.

Now it's becoming a trend. I won't be surprised if that's gonna happen in schools, conferences, any sorts of gathering... Anywhere. Like I said, a trend.

This is comically cool.

"The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any."

Katharine Whitehorn

i would want to agree big time for the slated quote above by Katharine Whitehorn. Take a good look around you. Take a good look of the 3 different class of human lifestyle. The rich, the average, and the poor.

Who do you think will treasure and learn about the importance of money?

Ok.. OK.. i know, i was being blunt in making such comment. but in GENERAL, no one would dare say that the rich will treasure money more, thus making them learn about money.

The poor wished they had money. The average wished they had more money. The rich will just wish they were richer... us humans, can never be contented with what we have...

Our children (myself included) had been spoilt and pampered with the standards of living in Singapore. throw a rich kid to the back alley of azerbaijan. escort a poor kid into the lifestyle of the rich n famous. be your own judge .... who'd have the more difficult time adapting...

we're raised in a such that, money could make the world go round. we're raised in a way that without money, there's nothing much we can do. without money, there's nothing you can do. with no money, you are nothing.

How true is the phrase 'no money, no honey'? i guess, there's truth to it.

oh gosh! WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT!!!????

in the father name of ******

2009-01-30T23:59:00.006+08:00

disturbed, intrigued .. irritated. oh why does this have to happen? one mouth's disability to mind someone's limit had unleashed the voice of golden dragon. well, one have to honour to each of every single word he/she said. the only way to change the lines are either by apology or .... nothing counts. in some occasions, sorries are inevitable. aside to those who were not remotely involved, like myself, need not 'yo yo or' and act like we understand the situation and make things worse. for those who are not in line with the whole story altogether or only have sparse information from makcik makcik kepo block 11.. please do help the situation by just keeping quiet.

nothing gets solved. the hatred within, will be carried thru decades. will never be forgotten. this is not a situation where one just shut up and 'suah'. this is also not a situation where confrontation over coffee will do any good.

its about blood ties we're talking about here. would you just keep quiet when you know that your own folk is being dissed? for the love of you coming thru their 'effort', im more than certain you'll get affected. no, dont lie. you will. when you are affected by it, how would you think that the other party's reaction was. true to what a saying my dad tought me, "do not offend others if you dont wanna get offended". i personally think if you are willing to offend others, you must be prepared or adaptive to being offended. else, it would be a one sided affair and things will definitely wont be good.

let's just put you in this situation; your father is being disrespectful of someone else father. this someone else, got the point across, and along the way, disrespect your father.
A: do you irregardless of what your father did, be supportive of your father's doings and start to find fault?
B: do you talk to your father about his wrong doings, apologize to the other party and move on?
C: do you leave things as it is and bear grudges?
D: do you reprimand your father for hurting others, thus this is bestowed upon whatever thats happening?

i'm in no situation to think what's the best move but it seems like this whole drama was very uncalled for and could be avoided with a simple thought of feeling for others.

and please, do not use in the name of god to seek justice only when things like this happens... it's hypocrite's move.

daddy day care

2009-01-30T23:14:00.004+08:00

met mum earlier this morning.. she told me of her saddened situation. sibling issues.. (what's new). cicit stories... her health issues. it was kindda good having to chat with her over breakfast. a feeling i missed in quite a while. the chat include her experience holiday'ing at PD. then she talked about how sad dad was i didnt join. she goes on about him nowadays keep wanting a drive up north for a little 'vacation'. at this point, i was controlling my tear. unbearable.

after getting a present for cicit, we split our way home. i cant stop thinking about dad. kept feeling guilty and i glummed thru the day.

later at night, i fetched him from work. i brought him to 'our' home, 'our' neighbourhood. there, we chat a lot. we talked about mom's situation. we talked about the tiny casper. and we talked about the holiday he just had.

i found peace.

steamy veggie

2009-01-30T19:18:00.002+08:00

i came across an article on Yahoo on a controversial PETA (an animal rights organization) advertisement. For crying out loud, they are promoting vegetables with a more sexy approach. It was stated in the ad too that vegetarians had better sex. Even though my personal opinion, i think that healthy people are the ones who have better sex , i somehow wish that statement of veggie had better sex's not true.

here, you take a look at the video and judge it yourself. you think so?

now you wish you were a veggie? heh!

My 2nd Chinese Brother surprise

2009-01-26T22:29:00.004+08:00

My 2nd Chinese brother, Aaron, called me. Still shock with his call (cos he'll usually call me whenever he's coming back from China), he told me to look out of my house.

THERE! There he was standing at my house carpark. He was actually at his friend's (my neighbour) when he realized that it was actually the apartment where im incubating!

Invited him over for a cuppa Ribena (wife labelled it as the muslim's wine) and we chat as there wont be other opportunity to chat no more. Over a Marlboro Lights, we shared on what's going on with our lives and work.

Tomorrow, im meeting him for lunch/coffee. Yipppeee!!!

in pursuit of happyness

2009-01-19T01:47:00.002+08:00

on my birthday night, i was watching pursuit of happiness. yeah that awesome will smith movie.

him selling density bone scanner out of some shit franchise deal, demand not good due to its only quality is to provide a more dense quality than of X rays. his wife left him. he's heavily in debt. he has his son with him. they became more and more homeless. he joined the Dean Reynolds as an unpaid intern with the catch of only one of the many who enrolled in the intern program gets the job. Chris (will Smith) succeed in getting the job. THAAAAAAANNNGGGGGGGGG! The DVD hangs... FUCK! SHIT! PISS! I'm at the peak of the movie! WHY!!!!!!!!

i'm actually hooked watching his perseverence and hardwork. not many have that capibility of survival. and his wife, loose it up on him. probably no wives would hang on. this is the extreme of going thru a rough patch. his son was in much maturity and willing to go anywhere his dad goes. they slept in toilets, subways and a daily basis sort of bunk. it's sad.

i read up and learnt that after he got the job, he starts his own brokerage firm and became rich.

perseverence baby... pure perseverence...

will smith deserves the Oscar he won for his role as Chris Gardner. Not forgetting his real son (Jaden) in this movie shows he's got the will smith in him.

after watching this movie, if any human is not being appreciative to their own circumstances should go hang himself dry in the corner.

my 30th birthday

2009-01-19T01:44:00.008+08:00

i used to celebrate my birthday for 7 days during the birthday week. not a party kind of celebration, but spending the time with my family and friends. i used to and indeed, still think that birthdays are very very important in peoples lives.

on my 30th birthday week, i had to spend the early half in camp and in the jungle. on a positive note, even though not direct, i take things as happy as i can. for instance, i was supposed to be out of camp only on my birthday eve, but they allow us to outpro on a friday. which means, i have more days for my family and family. i'll take that as a gift from the army. jajai met me at my place before booking in last saturday to atec debrief and outpro, he brought 2 tupperwares of rice and mutton dalcha with fried liver. his wife cooked it and wanted him to eat with me. i'll take that as a gift from him and nadia. mom cooked ikan sebelah masak merah on sunday and called me over to eat. Since it's one of my favourite meal, I'll take that as a gift from mom.

anyways, i would like to thank these people, for wishing me a happy birthday.

"first and foremost", my wife. getting my father in law to go dinner at mad jacks on my birthday eve. She also set up a surprise dinner at yishun safra inviting my other brother, gilbert and his wife. It was overly a touching moment. (do check out the pics on facebook, if they've uploaded em) wife said we have to reach yishun by 8.30pm. immediately, i knew it'd be Eatzi Steakhouse. After sending the car to bak, wife drove me there. the place was pretty quiet. while waiting for food and wasting the battery on the camera, a birthday song was played. There, my brother, Gilbert and his wife Dya, strummed in with a cake and 3 big candles on top of it. i almost broke down. shy at the loud birthday song, and waves from the other tables, i smiled in disbelief.

mom called me and wished me over the phone. sad that she couldnt spend the time with me. she gave me a lengthy birthday wish which sweat my ears. she told me that cicit cried cos she didnt spend the time with me this time round...

later that night, i had a text message from another chinese brother, all the way from guangzhou, china. i replied "you have never failed to remember my birthday after these years". and his touching reply was "you already call me brother, so this should be the way". i melt again...

these people wished me thru sms and/or facebook.. thanks people, i really appreciate it. to name of those whom i can recall are bob, jajai, alfi, mimi, allie & rohai,shujun, jas, benny, aliff, ariff, ain and family, strat, ajid, vishnu, ros, ogy, wati, iza, baby, dimple, fariq, fida, fida sister, sayeeth,liang li, nani, haslina, abang az, lionel, gabe, joseph, ong, asrul, ijat, kevin, zaidi, ross, fauziah and family, asfa, heazry, wee kiat, seet yang, mashija, waichee, sharon, yan, ramlah, nurmiza, joshua, huzaini, si jie, lan, sunita and edwin.

thank you all

where's my dad.... :(

happy birthday cicit...

2009-01-18T01:43:00.001+08:00

happy 8th birthday my little one. it's sad i didnt get to bring you out on your birthday this time. i remembered bringing you to the zoo last year. and you certainly had a blast. even though our time spent was short, im sure you are more than happy to have spent your time with me.

i was told by ibu that this year, you yearn for a converse shoe. i was stunned to learn that you actually asked for it. thank god, i heard things wrongly. cos i know, none in my family was brought up to ask for things. you either earn it, or get it yourself. and 8 years old is not the time for fashion. its time for studies and fun.

anyways, theres another thing i heard from ibu which somehow touched my heart. last week, when ibu fetched you from your place, you actually did brought along the present i got you last year. you got it washed and requested for it to be placed in ibu's car.

i know deep down inside, your not the asswipe you potrayed in front of the whole world. i know deep down inside, you are one very strong willed independent girl. its tough not being liked by many. but you somewhat deserved it due to your stubborn character. not to worry darling, one fine day, you might just be the person they seek help from when they are in need.

by then, you ought to be returning the love that was showered to you from ibu & ayah. be sure you fulfill those. happy 8th birthday my naughty little one.

my atec 2 in camp training

2009-01-17T01:45:00.005+08:00

first week
ok, this is damn boring... the long awaited atec is here. its the "sort of" the final assesment on my redcon 1 unit. 2 weeks. 2 freaking weeks to get this done. and come to think of it, this will be the 7th ICT. meaning to say, im left with 3 more in camps and im done with the army!!

since im a downgraded personel, we're not supposed to be engaged with streneous exercises. i have no idea, where the label "LOBO" came from, but it's commonly used to distinguish the not doing anything group of soldiers. i am temporarily downgraded to C2L1 till July 09. This means that i dont have to serve IPPT/RT during these downgrade period.

while the rest of them are busy brushing up their soldiering skills, the Lobos are busy with the cylum straw party. hey we did our part ok! wife texted me to listen to class 95 after 10pm. I managed to listen to Yassminne Cheng reading out the dedication. She pronounced iceywicey as iceywiFey... dumb. i was overly touched by the dedication... thanks darling. it soothed the boredom in camp. the rest of my camp mates were teasing me about it... heh!

come friday, we got to book out! i was too happy to be able to book out. but that night, wife got sick. she was supposed to be admitted to changi hospital to monitor her asthma but she refused to. haiz....

second week
monday morning book in. pre atec speech was pretty influential and spiritual. bla bla bla bla .. i really dowan to story about the out field ...... bla bla bla....

I dont know if you guys watched the chinese drama series on channel 8, Holland V. If you have watched, Margaret Lee, an actress in that serial can never be a definite miss.

Today, while i was at Laguna Country Club waiting for my wife to sign her appointment letter with some company, i saw her! Oh gosh, i saw Margaret Lee in person. She was like only a step away from me when i was buying the range balls. Woooooooahhhhhhhhh!

Anyways, wife got a job at a golf company. I'm totally impressed with her job scope, her job location, her job's requirements and the list goes on. If i were to do a switch of job, i would definitely dump my current company to do what she is going to do. It is something i dream of. It is something i want to do and will definitely enjoy doing. I was a little jealous to be honest. But i'm overall happy for her.

I hope, she does stay long in this company. I hope, she get to learn a lot of things there. I hope, her work is beneficial for her and for my tiny family. I hope, she works her way up and be somebody in that company. I hope, she still will be the person i love.

Back to Margaret Lee, i recalled she was once on the front cover of FHM. Apart from that, she's also in the news being fined for cheating the bank of a $30k loan.

there.... if you dont know who im talking about.

happy islamic new year

2008-12-30T00:26:00.002+08:00

to all muslim folks out there, happy new year... muharram 1430 (muslim calendar)

if u guys needs explanation to what Muharram is;
Muharram (Arabic: محرم) is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four months of the year in which fighting is prohibited. Since the Islamic calendar is lunar, Muharram moves from year to year when compared with the Gregorian calendar. Muharram is so called because it was unlawful to fight during this month; the word is derived from the word ‘haram’ meaning forbidden. It is held to be the most sacred of all the months, excluding Ramadan. Some Muslims fast during these days.

i won !!!

2008-12-28T01:25:00.004+08:00

it looks like its gonna be another boring saturday. No EPL matches tonight, no poms, no good food, no fun...

wife had been under the weather for the past few days, so earlier this morning, i accompanied her to the clinic. then to the market to get some fish n eggs. by the time we got back home, it was already noon.

bak (my daddy in law) called... he invited us to go play 9 holes of golf with him. since wife's 'resting' at home, i took the opportunity to spend some time with my father in law. we decided to settle for the 9 hole game at Executive Golf Course in Mandai Road.

I was hoping so much that there arent any 'funny' people at the golf course today. since, this is open to the public, it seems that people just abuse the golf etiquette. but afterall, they arent to blame. they might have not attended any courses on such. but if i were to play at a proper golf course and these 'funny' people produce their antiques, i might just get over pissed. a cute sight of kids, probably under 8 years of age, getting ready at the tee off mark. they looked so adorable and their swings, mind you, are as of a pro's swing.

by 4, we teed off. after i completed my swing, the person behind me, probably some coach(he was playing and coaching two middle aged chicks) , complimented on my shot. not bad at all... as i bogeyed my par 3, bak triple bogeyed his.

The game goes on.i ended up winning bak by two strokes. i was head over heels! bak has been my mentor for about 1 year odd but beating him is sooooo orgasmic.

boxing day practise

2008-12-27T03:36:00.006+08:00

i've been practising my golf this past 2 weeks with my father in law. not to worry, i still find this game a stupid rich man's game ... but being a sports enthused freak, i knew that i will fall in love with any sports that come in my way. at the rate im going, im feeling a better golfer than my previous year. in fact, i felt better now than during the time when i joined the charity tournament. no... this isnt any 'semangat lima minit' (five minutes spirit)in me. i'm really game for it. i felt like challenging my father in law to an 18 hole stroke play match.

i was encouraged when bak's range kaki's told me that i should've joined the SSG.

anyways, i'm blogging to bitch about an uncle (bak's friend) tonight. i was hitting good with my AW, my 7 iron, surprisingly my 5 iron. The rhythm just got better when i'm able to hit close to 200 with my fairway wood 3. (Look Right) I'm loving every moment slicing the range balls with my SUMO SQ2 utility club. Along came the momentum breaker. This uncle, who probably have been impressed with my strength and build starts teaching and preaching. He's telling me to change my swing. (It was my old swing style where i rip the ball with all my might) From that moment, my swings had gone haywire. No.. im not trying to blame him. But, please... look at yourself in a man sized mirror before teaching or commenting about others. That poor old chap couldnt even hit a proper full swing. No.. im not trying to critisize. But just look at yourself dude... you're aint no pro, you are probably not a under 20 handicapper. Blimey... why do such people exist.

It spoils my boxing day practise mood. But thank god, daddy in law came to my rescue. He pointed out my mistakes on my downswing and shoulder position. And walaaaa... im back in the swings!

here's showing u guys my beginners swing taken sometimes back...

Why X'Mas Sucks This Year

2008-12-25T16:11:00.003+08:00

I usually organize some gift exchange with friends but none this year
This year company shutdown, so there aint no X'mas party (which i won 1st prize in Lucky Draw last year!!)
I woke up late (about 10a.m.) and there's no presents from Santa and his bitches
I usually wear red, but im wearing green today

Merry Christmas!!

2008-12-25T14:05:00.002+08:00

It's 25 Dec again! Even though it's economic downturn, nothing's gonna stop anyone from having a joyous year-end.

I'm here wishing all my christian friends (be it original or pirated... you know who you are!) a very Merry Christmas. As for those beruks who are not celebrating Christmas, have a good holiday. Cheers!

Blackout on 833

2008-12-24T15:52:00.002+08:00

it was 2 a.m. in the morning... the chandelier in the living room starts to flicker... then...

POOOOF!! Total Darkness!

Geez! What happened? I straight head for the main circuit board, thinking that there's a power surge ... but all was alright. Immediately felt the stuffiness, i opened the living room door. A burning smell rocket up my nose. I asked wife if she smells anything. Apparently, she doesnt. Father in law got up from his sleep.

I went outside, to check if the neighbours had a similar sudden power failure. Then, i noticed something sparkling at the corner of my sight. The circuit box outside the house had soot marks... and a think live wire was flickering.

Wife called HDB to lodge a complain. And of course, she's shit worried about her fishes. (Thank god none died.) By then, neighbours start to come out from their homes. Probably, they felt the aircon or fans arent working...

After the uncle (look picture) rectified the issue, it was close to 5 a.m. Zzzzzzzz......

You call this exciting? This is irritating!

white ranger?

2008-12-17T16:45:00.003+08:00

Can stress leads to white/grey hair?

Yes, stress can in a way or another contributes in turning hair white/grey. Studies proved that it is primarily biological in nature. So, anything beyond the natural body mechanism affects the whole system.

Of late, i have a lot. I really mean a lot of these unsightly grey worms. Even though disturbing, i accept the fact that its not as if i've been taking good care of my own health. I dont have proper sleeping habits. i dig in junk food as and when i feel like. and i do immediately have this headache whenever im dealing with stress.

Now, whenever i plucked a strand, i'll just be a happier person. Damn to all cause contributions to my white hair... Uuuurghhhhh!!!!

miss rush'ya

2008-12-16T22:47:00.004+08:00

last saturday, we'all celebrated bak's birthday. during the prayer's interval, i climbed up my room to check out some footy on tv. then, it was showing live the miss world 2008... they were, at that moment choosing the final 15. amongst the 15, i thought miss russia stood out amongst the rest. miss india, to be honest, was disappointing... and i personally feel priety zintha (my favourite bollywoodies) looked much hotter than that...

on monday, when i had forgotten that miss world 2008 took place days ago, i came across an article on my e-Today that miss russia was crowned miss world 2008.

congrats to Kseniya Sukhinova ....

Santa Claus is HORNY tonight!

la sexie

2008-12-15T12:02:00.003+08:00

i have no idea why of late, i'm ~~paying more attention~~ scrutinizing on the term sexy. i dont know why. and im not only talking about females being sexy (i think this is a common object being related to the term sexy). im talking about apparels, speech, voice tones, hair, gadgets, ambience, mood ... everything and anything!

when im listening to my iPod, tunes from Muse frontman, Matt Bellamy falsetto voice register can be sexy. hater of curl tops, i find michelle chia's locks are pretty sexy on her. and oh my blimey macbook pro cant be any sexier... the other day, i went to the farm mart in pasir ris in the search of wifey's fishes, we swung by the place where cik mat got his MaxC.... i found this grey dusty cat damn exotically sexy...

everyone has their own terms of sexy levels.... would you define the clay act in Ghost sexy or the steamy kissing in Titanic? Do you regard short skirt with long socks sexy or jeans and bra would do the trick?

i just dont know why im looking things in a sexy perspective... hrmmmpff.

unrest the unrest

2008-11-25T11:01:00.003+08:00

for the first time, i've felt a little unrest at the current rumour of my company is going to "perform" a retrenchment exercise.

flex changi has already started theirs. funny implementations like 4 days work per week at the expense of staff's leaves... haiz.

after my chat with someone "up there"... he assured me that our segments are not affected. worse case, we are put on shutdown during year end.

i hope nothing goes wrong... or else...

and hey, i dint know that AWS is not an entitlement. i DIDNT know!!

2008-11-24T14:09:00.002+08:00

and yet again, its the time of the year. typically, december is the period where there's tons of birthdays to entertain. i dont know why but... try subtracting 9 months before december is february. what, are you telling me that most of the people that i know got conceived in February - March period? oh ok.. thats silly thinking.

let me see, those people born in december are .... my mom, gilbert, alfi, ariff, rohai, mahoney, eng ann, cik mat, bak ... hrmmmm .. cant think of any others d...

hello! that's quite a list ok ...

my sadturday

2008-11-23T01:46:00.004+08:00

my saturday's a little slow. i woke up super duper late. reason being, i went out with family the night before. oh yeah, we went to Terminal 3 for POPEYE'S chicken! it was rather surprising that dad wants to go. it was wife who came out with the lustful idea. and dad, giving the excuse of never being to T3 gladly agree. To make things more surprising, dad was ok to join us even it was to wait for adik to come back from work. and so the entire family, ariff included, went to popeye's for supper. yummers!

when i woke up, i saw a missed call on my mobile. it was jajai. he's around my neighbourhood so he thought that we might meet up to 'chit chat'. and so we did... wife's still punctured in the room, recovering from her flu. (wishing her a speedy recovery)

by 4, i was geared up for footy. thunderstorm starts banging in.... being hopeful there's no rain in tampines, true enuff, there wasnt any. bob fetched me. lucky enuff i was late, as we're on our way, we got informed that the game got cancelled. thank god we're just before the ave 12 exit. we head to the most interesting place in woodlands, al amin. there i got my goreng pisang!

when i got home, me and wife watched hannibal, one of my favourite movie. it ended just in time for liverpool's game against fulham. how i wished i didnt watch. no, we didnt lose. but to draw with shitty performance, is just unacceptable at this stage of the league. wife retired halfway thru the game.

and now... im blogging while watching villain hosting man utd, hoping that the manc's lose. my hate for christiano ronaldo just worsen... pthui!

eeeeeee booooooo

2008-11-19T10:53:00.004+08:00

my hardworking mom...

mom was sent to hospital last night. i was just chatting with her by noon. she invited me over for dinner (she cooked one of my favourite dish) and said that she wants to go to the clinic by 7pm. thinking that since wife would be going to school, dad's working till 9, brother and wife's not around, i thought that it might just want to accompany her ...

as i was on my way back, in the train, ibu called. she wants to go to the hospital. she was saying that her pain in her chest was unbearable. with ryan crying, it's difficult to leave him with anyone but his parents. not long, adik reached home. we then rushed ibu to SGH A&E, where ayah had been waiting since 7 odd.

hours and hours of testing, the doctor concluded that the current medication ibu just started has its side effect on her and had to be stopped. thank god nothing is wrong with her heart or whatsoever...

In between the waiting time, ayah, wife, indy, adik, ryan and myself went for "dinner" at the railway station.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.... take care momma. dont overdo things please...... we love you.

thinkin of the SUN

2008-11-18T12:26:00.002+08:00

i was chatting on MSN with one of my "bros" Gilbert, when he then brought up about a holiday. a short getaway... a budget holiday. first thing came to my mind was KL... then when i narrowed down, im thinking a lot about Sunway Lagoon! December is his birthday, January is mine. Somewhere in the middle to celebrate both ours would be one of a kind....

I went there years back and had one hell of a fun time. The crazy water theme park, the 'wet' shopping, the day 'i let my life to God knowing i might die anytime' in the roller coaster ride... it was all madness fun. The shopping was awesome too!

Maybe its time to have another trip there. Maybe this time, the four of us should 'coach' ourselves there and have fun!

wappily happy

2008-11-16T08:04:00.001+08:00

we won! we won! 1-0 to GUFC... and 2-0 to Liverpool!

I'm happy..... are you?

OMG... It wasnt Omar who Killed!!

2008-11-13T16:33:00.005+08:00

A MALAYSIAN cleaner died after he was mauled by a white tiger at the Singapore Zoo.

Mr Nordin, 32, from Sarawak, is believed to have fallen into the white tiger enclosure at about noon and was immediately pounced on by the three big cats.

Zoo keepers were alerted and tried to rescue Mr Nordin. They tried distracting the three tigers and managed to keep them under control but one of them just kept on mauling Mr Nordin.

After managing to pull the poor chap aside, he was rushed to hospital but died along the way.

Reports said that it was believed he was not supposed to be in the tiger area and was assigned to clean the chimpanzee section. God knows what strucked that poor fella .....

He was seen behaving in an agitated manner before he fell into the den. This made it pretty obvious that he attempted suicide ( i think )... which he later regretted.

My deepest condolences to the family of Mr Nordin.

Just as I thought, Omar, the white tiger, would be AhMeng's successor as the Singapore Zoo's mascot, such things happened. Pffft....

i hate this situation. i hate situations where i am NOT myself. damn it.

2008-11-13T11:18:00.001+08:00

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

What u need, what u need...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do u see what I see...

2008-11-12T12:06:00.000+08:00

sometimes, when we offer to help, the repurcussion seems to bounce back at us. of course when we DO help, we definitely hope that the help we offer would turn out to be useful and fruitful.

i'm in a situation where helping is already not an option. certain things have been taken for granted and i find myself in the suffering end.

being me, im compassionate. but if its already grinding my limits, im not hesitant to be the bad guy. and it seems that the "bad guy" has to do something to keep things moving. of course not loving every moment of this awkwardness, i do hope the opposition understand itself and play along.

it's so damn irritating....

The game "i want to raise an issue" did have its very good purpose. now things are much more promising. with the "game", things gets voiced and moving. i like it. as much as sometimes it does or might offend, it carries a good purpose of not bottling things up and opinions are being said and considered. ok i might confuse you readers out there with what im saying right now but this is only a game of 2 persons. and the more i tell you, the more insane you might be.

saturday, i spent most of the time updating my iTunes. After copying from my portable hard disk, things gone really disorganized. And I'm pretty much particular about how my songs are sorted and kept. Thank god for the invention of iTunes. Now updating mp3s are such a breeze.

In the evening, wife dragged me to the market before i head to braddel west lake for GUFC's 3rd game in the every Saturday Dare to Dream League. While i go footy, wife's gonna cook one of my favourite Lemak Chili Padi... Ok enuff about food. As im late for the game, i speed to Braddel. When i exited Braddel, i thought something was wrong. True enough, i took the wrong turn and ended up in Paya Lebar!! What the heck was i thinking. My GPS hanged... i restarted my phone. And minutes later, im on track. When i reached the pitch, it was already the beginning of 2nd half. I got changed and towards some 20 minutes into the 2nd half, im in the pitch. Replacing nana and i got attacking mid role, just behind my forwards. I was involved in some part of the setup of the 2nd goal. I was happy. I still believe i could contribute more. Ace did very very well in goal i must admit. MOTM Randy worked his sock off and truely deserved his 2nd goal. Paid 30 bucks for the new jersey. Im so looking forward to it. Mmmmmmmmm! Orange+Nike= Very Nice!

i have to give the outing with woodies a miss. Darn, i missed outing with those guys. Cos tonight... we're going JB! After the yummy dinner wife prepared, i still have to go for the Senibung dinner. Wherever the heck that place is, Adik's leading us... via GPS. It's actually at PJ... chey! and yes... :( i ate again.... It was a good family dinner outing... It's been a week i didnt see my folks... so, yeah.... i missed them. This dinner was on Ariff. God knows why the sudden intend of blanja'ing us all.... We sneaked 2 hantu DVDs from JB. Looking forward to watch them one of these nights...

When i got home, i switched on TV and THANK GOD!... Liverpool's game is just half done. So i caught the 2nd half and cheered for their 3-0 win.... POMPOM ZZzzzzzzzz

Now Crocs goes to Liverpool !!!

2008-11-09T12:51:00.001+08:00

With his very own branded Liverpool FC Crocs Kenny was a huge hit at the opening, attracting a big crowd of followers.

Crocs, everyone's favourite comfort shoes, have now launched their brand new range of football licensed shoes, Liverpool F.C. This will be the first UK club to hail the new shoes and to celebrate, the city's much loved Kenny Dalglish, Alan Kennedy, Gary Gillespie and Ronnie Whelan joined in the celebration.

obama won the presidential election for the US of A. awesome. those diehard fans all over the world watching every moment of the election must've been happy. it doesnt matter much to me... no matter who won. even though i have a tilt to the obama side... it doesnt really matter who won. what, how and why would it affect me? even if McCain was victorious... so what? yeah, economic and bla bla bla... but what can you do about it? correct... absolutely nothing.

you go obama.... do us black peeps proud. was lewinski lurking around? im sure some ebony luv would be perfect.

looks like the ones you can get by lor 20 something at 40 bucks. ok la... before i break my cousin brother's heart any further... she's ok la... but to be a top model with that looks... i think there's more needed to 'nip tuck'.

2008-11-04T13:39:00.002+08:00

according to few, im horribly fat. mom says im overweight. marlic says i am shahreen's size. roger calls me fatty. my camp mates called me pig. my west coast clan called me 'no neck'. rohai says im no different from eugene... slow. bob says im a bulk. alfi called me the fatter heskey...

im lying if i'd say that there's no 'ant bite' effect. i can never bear any grudges against these people's comments.... but somehow i tend to push these facts away cos im happy. am i? no im not! how can i be happy when im bulky!?

but i've started my regime of exercising. im targetting to go below 100. ok thats not much of a target.. but realistic. thursdays & saturday's soccer, alternate jogs, and regular weights training.. oh ya... wednesdays swimming too.

i so wanna get back to shape. in the meantime, i will stick to loose clothes. wrong sizes can be so aweful to deal with. its a challenge though. chao!

so tell me...

would you rather fancy living in a condo along orchard road which looks like pig sty inside? orrr.... a clean 3 room HDB flat in woodlands equipped with the cool gadget, zen theme layout, equipped with latest gadgets and entertainment systems .. ok i shall not proceed blabbering abt my dream home.

with the options above not to be changed, im sure, 'normal' people would rather chose the later.

my point for blogging this is not really related to living conditions but to actually to put a thought to what's roaming in my mind. im trying to reiterate the point of looking good on the outside but rotten inside. and vice versa'ly to the normal looking outside, and jaw dropping inside.

i think this theory applies on all sorts of things. be it on a person, be it to a work place, be it on a piece of clothing ....

dont you think so??!

100 ways to get you out of your shit life (exaggerated)

2008-10-31T16:18:00.003+08:00

i just picked up a book yesterday. and im hooked to it. it's wife's... but it seemed untouched. so im gonna let myself digging into it for a couple of days before returning it to her. heh!

after reading a few chapters, i found that this book does really tell how a person should lead his/her life. and i cant imagine a person who reads this and has no effects on him/her or whatsoever....

i have to highlight this from the book regarding simplifying your life. its about multitasking! combining little things that you need to do in one shot! this brings me to the Kaizan's practise. Its productive! and it works! and the best part, it didnt pile shits up at the end of the day!

im so in love with the book. ooh.. no wonder. the author's Chandler... ok i know. not chandler bing. just some convention speaker from Arizona.

pantangs larangs

2008-10-29T01:13:00.003+08:00

im sure by now, even the manjans and tamleks know whats a ~~papntat~~pantang.... especially for those superstitious hokkien aunties, and old makcik blok 11s, and achi selling curry.

us being in the young generations might just laughed these things off or kept in a corner to hang dry.

pantang, coming from the malay word which translates to prohibit, are still in practice these days. none can tell the truth of each pantangs, but im very certain that these pantangs serves purposes. they (the old people) made these up for discipline's sake. my take on this would be for instance, there's an old saying that tells you not to insult or belittle another person, or your children in the future will turn out exactly like how you 'described' the other party. Of course, there would be no immediate truth to the saying above but... the purpose of such pantang exists, so you will not offend of hurt the other party's feelings.

There's more to these kindda things if u google up the word pantang larang.

apart from these types of pantangs, there's another meaning to it. the other pantangs im refering to is somewhat similar, but more direct. it carries a meaning of restrict. (im not really sure if thats the most appropriate word to use). it's like ermmmm... errr... ok lets see... how can i give an example. ok here goes... lets say, you are pregnant. and the pantang of a pregnant woman is to eat seafood, fizzy drinks and so on... so these restricted items are all the pantangs for a pregnant woman. similarly to a person who is having diabetes. his or her pantang would be items which are high on sugar.

ok so now i see you are getting it ....

there's another pantang which co-relates discipline. let me see how do i put this into words... hrmmmm.... ok!

for example, a person who is studying, his/her pantang is to have the slightest noise or it would distract their concentration. in this case, the studying person is pantang to noises while studying. it doesnt apply to all because some, needs music alongside them to concentrate better. this pantang is very much of a wide category cos it can vary from a person who is pantang to people who are always late for meetings, pantangs for their kids not putting back the DVD they watched back into its own sleeve, pantang to see the slightest dust on the floor.. and the list goes on....

well, thats somewhat my thoughts on pantangs... this might just be my personal perception of what im taught when growing up, it might be wrong to others... so .... take care.!

wife's 27th birthday

2008-10-28T15:08:00.001+08:00

it was wife's birthday last sunday. though it went quite well, i was rather upset at how certain things go.

first of all, the countdown didnt happen. at the expense of some other craps, i have to forego the countdown plan. the wearing slipper was a good sign which i took lightly. oh damn.. watever. lucky enough, i had done my surprise gift of lilies and cat card and the liz arden eau de toilette. which i think i did quite well to get her up from bed after that long long night.... however, im still pissed. i didnt get things according to plan... my way. . after the lame airport visit (which i personally believe was unecessary), we head home. we continued with young and dangerous collections.

gosh. sunday. the real day. i dont want to even think about the evening. i just want to concentrate on the day. we had heaps of fun. we both broke our virgin on ice skating. we went to the ice skating rink at kallang leisurepark. we skated ... we fell. *laughs* ... we had fun. we then had a birthday dinner with my family... i mean my parents and my brother's family. they gave wife presents... wife should be having the time of her life. we then had to head off for mummy's place in pasir ris. wife had a cake cutting night. have to thank aunty su and the rest of the family members for their sumptuous support. without their presence, wife's birthday might be so meaningless.

hobbits hobbies

2008-10-23T15:00:00.004+08:00

im frustrated at the fact that i have a little too many hobbies on my mind but none were firm on hand. ya know, when a friend bumped into you on the street and they'll prolly go "hey isk! how's your golf getting along?", or do they "have u been doing night shots by the esplanade? i thought u might be interested to join those photography group"... "have you mastered the solo for that song on ur guitars?". "Thursday nights footy do keep u geared up for the weekend game doesnt it?" .... ITS FRUSTRATING!! I became a total veggie. i loose my mood easily these days on hobbies. i get demoralized easily and i dont know why. One thing i do know is that the passion still strong. Skills do get rusted but i can manage to get back to where i left it. Maybe i should just get something home bound. But what's homebound that could interest me? Dont you even dare say blogging.

im bored. shut up.... isk.

20th Oct 08

2008-10-20T11:29:00.000+08:00

20th october ..... It's maks birthday again. Exactly last year, i went to visit mak's grave, just to spend some time with her on her birthday and recite some prayers (what normally people read, that yasin chapter in the holy quran). It seems like i'm going again. And its because uncle noh (wife's uncle) had just passed away today. So coincidental it's maks birthday.

Messaged boss earlier but he didn't reply. Damn the managerial course tomorrow. I can't give it a pass. Im the only engineer involved amongst all managers. Felt weird to attend, feeling wasted not to be there.

There's so much things to do, so much things to attend to.... On the 20th october.

on facebook ...

2008-10-17T14:02:00.002+08:00

Pillay Rajandra (god knows who he is...) trying to add me as a friend on facebook. i dont really like to add people i dont know so i did not. but it came with this funny message.... read la.

Kita semua peminat dan kawan setia Datuk Siti Nurhaliza. Marilah kita sentiasa doakan terbaik untuk Datuk Siti Nurhaliza dan keluarga.

I know... what the heck...

never² ever

2008-10-17T10:47:00.002+08:00

i like this song revived by the CAKE band... and i think it goes like this;

I need your arms around me, I need to feel your touch
I need your understanding, I need your love so much
You tell me that you love me so, you tell me that you care
But when I need you baby, youre never there

You tell me that you love me so, you tell me that you care
But when I need you baby (you're never there!!)
Take the time to get to know me
If you want me why cant you just show me
Were always on this roller coaster
If you want me why cant you get closer?

Never there
Youre never there
Youre never, ever, ever, ever there

in the end, its just another trippy, emo song that i luv to hum while driving...

pay special attention to the highlighted lines ....

barter trade formulae

2008-10-15T14:59:00.002+08:00

the trade in my folks has never been in me. (the good ones i mean...)

my dad has always been the one who never leaves his prayers, wakes up 5.30am in the morning no matter how late he slept the night before... neither were in me.

my mom is very good at saving money, cooks the best out of anything and has relentless drive to succeed. none were in me.

but somehow.. one common thing my folks share is the cleanliness. neat, tidy and clean. presentation comes secondary. they would drop all practice of being practical just to have things neat and tidy.

i remembered an arguement about fixing the curtains and mopping the floor. she would have to beg me to do some cleaning. and i, being a lazy arse, would always argue about it not near any festive occassion so we need not do any cleaning. she would always have to explain to me that its not only near occassions that we need to keep the house clean and neat.

as i got older, i realized. when i play the SIMS game my character would probably die if i didnt do the dishes, mop the floor, clear the dining table, throw away the rubbish, feed the cat, dindnt clear my bowels, didnt clean the toilet, didnt have entertainment, didnt socialize.. and the list goes on.

shit, im steering out of topic.

i know my brother has a lot of my folks behaviour.

mum's car accident

2008-10-14T12:25:00.002+08:00

mum's involved in an accident last night. kecohrable...

when asked to inspect, said all was ok. so i tot asking the bugger who rammed her bumper for 300 bucks would suffice.

strange enuff, this noon, she told me that the rear bumper was dented.

and she goes on starting to call the cabbie who rammed her car's rear. and wanting to make report and all. gosh... so drama.

lucky enuff she and dad was ok.

forgetful isk

2008-10-14T12:03:00.002+08:00

i am definitely not good at remembering names. the ones that got stucked in my brains are all people whom have made a deep inpact in my life ... to change for better or worse.

i can loose someones name the very next 5 seconds after shaking hands with him/her. UNLESS!... he/she has a significant attribute that relates to someone or something meaningful to me.

to counter this issue, i would usually ask, "how do i address you again sir/ma'am?"

i feel im getting old... before my time. what's your name again?
