All new MyVi

Well, this is a nice car indeed. Although I've never seen a real one yet but from the photos itself, it really looks cool. It's more like a Jazz at 50% cheaper *lol* but of course, you get cheaper quality interiors too :)

Unfortunately, they come in flavours of 1.0 and 1.3 engine but if there's a 1.5 VVT-i, I guess I'll probably consider getting it. Nice car and I'm sure this would surely help Perodua on their sales :) A Jazz look-alike with 80% local content.

Last day in E2open : 01 JUN 2005

I've finally tendered my resignation and today, my colleagues in office spent some time having pizza together as a farewell for me. I felt heavy-hearted and it isn't an easy decision to make.

It's hard to leave this office which has so many great and nice people around. I've basically enjoyed working here but for some reasons, I just have to move on and hence took up this new opportunity.

The road ahead is still unclear and it might be harsh, hard or maybe better than here. Nevertheless, I hope I made the right choice and not regret later.

Meeting up with an old friend

Today, I met with one of my old friend, Miss Lim Yen Cheng. She's now a capable and reputable auditor working in Price Waterhouse Coopers and I'm really glad to meet her again after such a long time. I also learnt something new from her :

A - all
U - you
D - do
I - is
T - tick

It's pretty true eh ? :)

On the other hand, I've tendered my resignation today and will be joining a new company in the beginning of June. I felt sad to leave but after a long thought, I've decided to move on. I hope everyone here will still do well and may God bless.

Champion's League Winner : Liverpool

I can't believe it ! Liverpool had actually won the Championship. Milan was 3-0 ahead on half-time from goals by Maldini and Crespo and what on earth happened later ? Well, I guess it's just football and how Liverpool could score 3 goals back in less than 10 mins from Gerrard, Smicer and Alonso (can't believe him taking the penalties either) :)

It's a great day for English football no doubt but a day of sadness for Milan fans. Nevertheless, football is always an enjoying sport and game to watch.

Confused : Relationship

At times I'm really confused, so confused about life and why relationship isn't working good and well. I don't know what's wrong and if it's really my fault. Isn't a gf suppose to care and be supportive to a bf ? Why can't a gf start a conversation with the bf ? Has it always gotta be the guy that starts talking or do something ? :)

How do you feel if :

Your gf can keep quiet the minute she gets into the car and never talks to you until it reaches the destination ?
Your gf doesn't console you when you're sad
Your gf isn't supportive to you in whatever you do
Your gf don't care how you feel
Your gf seldom starts a conversation with you and always expects you to do so first
Your gf doesn't answer your questions and needs you to ask at least 2-3 times
Your gf never say sweet things or express her feelings to you

Is it my fault or am I being too sensitive or what is it ? :) I'm really confused

What a day

I missed lunch cos I woke up late and had Domino's pizza for dinner. I feel full after eating and it's been such a stressful day. I learn that my Friendster has been cancelled by someone that hacked into my account, slow network and intermittent dead connections in office, 2 person on shift working with a bunch of horrifying alerts on the monitoring system. I guess that's just life and sometimes it's gotta be sucky *haha* Nevertheless, I hope for a better day tomorrow. Anyone else have the same kinda luck like me today ? *sigh*

My Friendster is GONE !

It's a sad day as someone hacked or went into my Friendster account and cancelled it. This in return resulted in my whole account DELETED and my email address no longer in Friendster's database. I emailed support with not much help as they won't be able to retrieve it back either. I lost all my friends, testimonials and everything I had in it :(

Email reply from Friendster support :

BMW

BMW's has always been my dream car. I know 5 series is way too far to "dream" about but I have been looking at 3 series all the while. With the new E90 out, the older E46 used seems to be a little cheaper these days. Although RM170K for a used 2002 325i still costs a bomb, I really hope I will earn enough to get it in the years to come. Maybe if I'm lucky, I could afford the E90 after all. Fat hopes but I'm still keeping the hopes high *lol*

Thanks for those that has been supportive to me and I'll drive you guys out when I own it someday

Working is living

It's evening shift throughout the month and my time is messed up again :) I wish so much I'll be back to office hours soon and I'm excited about the new opportunity that I was offered. However, it's a sad thing to part with wonderful people around here.

I believe it's just normal for people to venture into new opportunities and better prospect, future. I hope everything would be fine and I chose the right move.

*.* COKE collection *.*

I've almost finished passing on souveniors everywhere to everyone :) I bought for everyone that has requested or asked for something. As for myself, I got a couple of "Coke" which adds up into my collection. It's now a bigger "Coke" family and I can someday get a shelf and put everything in *yippie*

The "Coke" collection actually started off when my ex-gf (Emily) gave me a couple of cans from Japan/HK. From there on, I collected and kept them as one of my hobbies. Although I know it's kinda lame but at least, I have a hobby when people ask *duh* :)

Another day at work

It seems that my one month stay in US contributed to some weight gain. Yes, I really do look chubbier and fatter. I guess it's because I finish up every single plate of food during my meals and I eat 3 times a day. Life is good ain't it ? *lol*

I feel so sleepy after dinner today and it's been like that for a couple of days. I'm not sure if it's "jet lag" or simply because my body feels more tired easily. Work is just as usual and I'll be on the evening shift for the whole month. Hopefully I'll get to turn back into office hours soon. Nevertheless, I feel that sometimes life really suck and it sucks from so many different ways. It's hard to find someone that really loves you and loves you forever :)

I'm back

Yes, I'm finally back in the country :) The journey back was alright but 18 hours on the plane is really sickening. My back is pain and I only manage to sleep a little during the flight. I'm still feeling tired and sleepy now but I'll be working as usual again from tomorrow onwards.

I wasn't really happy today, not because I miss US but because of people in my life that made me so disappointed. I tried hard to explain and tell but it didn't change anything. I know no one would ever be here for me and that "someone" which I've always hope for will never appear in my life.

I'll be back (soon)

It's my last day here and I'll be flying back to KL later tonight. I'm excited to meet everyone back home but freaking out as the journey will take near to 20 hours. Nevertheless, I hope I could sleep on the plane so it wouldn't be so torturing :)

I'm amazed with how fast the size of my luggage grows throughout this 1 month period. I am also carrying 10 cans of COKE for everyone that has requested it (I know I'm crazy)

Chelsea lost !

I can't believe it ! The team of my dreams to lift the Champion's League this season lost to Liverpool :( They have been doing so well over the season but I guess football is sometimes all about luck. Did the ball ever cross the line ?! Nevertheless, I hope Liverpool will beat AC Milan to lift the trophy.

My dreams

I guess it's a human nature not to appreciate things when we have them but only start to appreciate when we lose them. Maybe it's only me but I really do feel that's how things are like. Sometimes we feel we've tried our best but the other party might not. It is also sometimes that different people have different ways of expressing their appreciation towards us.

My dream is to have a successful life and career. It takes years to build a career and I will do my very best to make sure I get what I want in life. I want to be a great husband and father to my children. I want to provide the best to my children and with hopes they will grow up to be successful individuals also.

Someday when I retire, I hope to spend time with my wife going around the globe, when the kids are now adults. When I'm at that stage, I'm almost at the last part of my life and my thoughts is to spend as much time as I could with my loved ones before I leave.

Ideally, these are my dreams. It might not come true or maybe I'll have a short life but I won't know and only God does. I truly believe that as long as I put in my efforts and try hard, I will get the success that I want in this life. When I die someday, I hope that I'll be appreciated by those who knows me especially my family.

Snooker & Pool : I'm now long lost

I haven't been playing snooker for quite some time and I know I'm going to suck at it the next time I play :( I used to play it so often and daily which makes me averagely well. I guess the first thing I'll do is have some games of snooker when I get back to Malaysia.

If someone is kind enough to bring me to clubs or pubs where we could enjoy some light beers and have a few games of pool, I'd be very much appreciated. However, please don't bully me as I can't even hold that cue properly now :p

Oracle HQ

The hotel where I stay is actually within walking distance to the world's 2nd largest software company, Oracle. The HQ is huge and it covers quite a big area. I didn't really get to take photos of all the complexes but had a couple taken when I was in the car:

Malaysia : 3 more days

I've been in the States for about a month now and will be flying back to KL in the weekends. I've enjoyed my stay here and manage to visit quite a number of places which is really cool and interesting.

I am currently in a last minute shopping spree especially to get souvenirs for everyone. I still haven't pack as I'm a little lazy until the final moment where I'm forced to do so. My flight will be at 1.20AM on Sunday at San Francisco airport which will end up transitting in HK International and Changi. It's a long flight no doubt and I'll be spending around 18-20 hours :(

I'll be looking forward to meet everyone once I'm back in KL with some fine gifts. Most of all, I've gotta be prepared for the super HOT weather *lol*

Love : A devoted tender or passionate affection to someone

When I was young, I often tell myself that someday, I will get someone really nice, caring and loving when I grow up. As years gone by, I realize I've been telling too much to myself of something that might never even come true. Maybe it did, once upon a time ago when I had this very wonderful girl which I thought I would marry her and spent the rest of my life with her. Unfortunately, I lost her and we lasted 3 1/2 years which was filled with wonderful and bitter memories.

In this life, getting a girlfriend is hard but it is even harder to find someone that is really compatible with you, faithful, loyal, loving, caring, understanding and supportive. Sometimes we might find the kind of girl we would like to become our life partner but things just doesn't work out right somewhere or so.

Perhaps I am asking too much of how this princess of mine should be. I hate arguments which I really try hard to avoid but it just happens and I'm often disappointed. Too much of arguments normally leads to ugly endings. Nevertheless, I just hope things would be better in the days to come.

Monday : Hectic

Today happens to be a hectic day at work as the systems were down and I spent the whole day on it. I hate it everytime things go down but that's computers and IT :) Lots of work has to be done and some are really plain "donkey" jobs.

I'll be having dinner in office and then head back to the hotel after which I'll need to do the laundries and catch the next episode of "Fear Factor" on TV. It's really exciting especially on the part whereby those funny people eat bugs, cow brains, etc. I know it sounds kinda sick but that's the fun part of the show, ain't it ? In fact, I don't really watch TV except WWE Wrestling, Football, CNN news (most of the time)

Saturday afternoon

I woke up in the afternoon and had lunch in a Chinese restuarant. The food there is not bad but as usual, portion is a little huge :) The weather today is nice, a little sunny and breezy. Geez, I wish so much that Malaysia would have such wonderful weather but it'll never be possible due to the geographic location.

The shopping today begins in Fry's (electronical store) and we made a stop in TJ Max (Reject Shop - USA version) *lol* We spent quite some time in the stores but I didn't manage to get anything.

I'm now getting ready to go San Francisco downtown again just to get a view of how it's like during the night. Places of interest will be Fisherman's wharf and Chinatown. I hope I'll come back with plenty of photos.
