Sneak Peek

Been sleeping for the past 2 days. Was so darn tired and I didn't had enough sleep cause I was hanging out with Sidharth and all. Edwin left to Aussie ytd and Sid is starting his new sem tomorrow. The end of your summer holidays dude!

med234056


Nothing much for the day. All I did was sleep sleep and continue sleeping. It's more than 10 hours of sleep if I'm not mistaken. That is a total payoff for my lack of rest throughout the week. What else? Tomorrow is the 1st day of March. Any resolutions for the month people? As for me, I'm still good with my resolutions except for the bible reading part haha. Commitment commitment!

Internship ending in 19 days. Counting down! I can't wait to finish my diploma. Degree another 3 more years which sums it up to 6 years to obtain a degree in Computer Engineering with Honours. Sad though cause it's freaking long. Close to studying medicine don't you think so? Tht's all for today :)

Hard Rock Cafe

Went to Hard Rock Cafe at KL for a band performance by Sher Ree's bf. Getting there was tough! The journey was even worst with Sher Ree & Mandy! They refused to sent me home. There's a valid reason behind it. Meet up with some of the band members at Sunway Hotel then headed straight to KL. Simply follow the routes:

  1. Get into NKVE from Sunway
  2. There will be two routes diverged after the toll. Take the one on the right which shows "KLCC"
  3. Take the smart tunnel
  4. Get into Jalan Ampang. Take the same route you used to get to Zouk. Hard Rock Cafe is located at the same row of Zouk, maybe just a little further.

When we reached there, Sher Ree and I wanted to have dinner since our stomach were crying out loud. It was bad! The nearest restaurant/hawker stall is located about 10-15mins from HRC. Guess what happen? We actually went to Caltex and maggi mee instead =.='''. Epic la seriously..
Wanted to post some of the pics but guess mebe not...for now :)

Once Upon A Time, There Was A Sausage Named Bob


Their performance was awesome. Vocalist was fantastic and so are the rest of the band members. They composed their own songs and most of their lyrics are random! I kinda liked that 'Stupid Monkey' song of theirs. The crowds were enjoying it as well. So basically, this is not your ordinary "High school ciplak band" that just came out of no where and hitting the streets. Amazing. It does remind me of Fried Chikin... haihz nostalgic

Sher Ree and Mandy brought their Nikon cameras. It's fun to have one. But to think of a good DSLR which costs about RM3k is unaffordable for now since I am not generating any cash from anywhere. Should start a small business.

Though I love snapping pictures, there are times where noobness reached its maximum level when one have not properly hold a DLSR before.

"Give me some time. I'll get used to it"


When everything is alright, there's always room for some alcohol when you're coming into places like this. Given a choice between coke/beer, which one would you choose?

11
Have a toast! Of course we didn't down that =.='''


Left HRC about 12pm cause Mandy had to go home early. I hope you're not reading this :P One thing! The event girls are like O.O. 5 stars. Better than your pub/club/bar anytime haha. Ok, HRC did not pay me for promoting their girls in hopes of getting more customers.

Reunion

Planned a small reunion dinner with Edwin, Bertrand and some friends yesterday night. At first, I wanted to call it off cause of the family dinner with cousins which is held on the same night. But since I planned it, I could not afford to ffk last minute. The plan was simply to have dinner at Taipan Sin Kong (Tai Chow) but Yao Huang suggested another place - Ayam Penyet Ria.

IMGP5772


The chicken was awesome, but the sambal is omg! Super hot spicy like never before. It knocks all that Nandos's spices, sambal belacan, cili kering or whtsoever. Spiciness at its maximum level. But, it was just damn funny cause we made lotsa lame jokes about the Ayam Penyet. From hot chicks passing by, till Lindley's father driving honda city banging Sidharth Pillai. LOL!


IMGP5774
Sidharth, Yao, Me, Lindley, Edwin & Sye Kit


Although the stomach had to digest all those spicy stuffs, the Ayam Penyet is definitely something different & worth the taste. Sk described the ayam penyet as:

Take the chicken. Flattened them and marinate so that it is able to absorb all the spices


Later, one of them suggested L4D. So, how are we supposed to L4D when we have only 7 players? Lindley goes: "4 vs 3 la!". See that steadiness! If only we had more girls like Lindley, then these Multiplayer online games will be damn nice.

Choices

Plans, they keep on coming. It came to a point where I even made plans which I shouldn't have. It's like having 2 dinners on one day. Sadness, my brain is not serving me well. Should have bought the book 'How to keep your brains alive' in MPH. Well, so here are the plans for this week;

  • Wednesday night - Reunion dinner with friends. Clash with CNY Reunion dinner with cousins.
  • Thursday night - Party at Euphoria with Mandy since it's her birthday. But I'm running out of cash.
  • Friday night - Party at Maisons. Ohh gosh this is so not good. Else, I'll be heading down to Mid Valley to meet up with my uni mates since UniMAP organize a trip to Genting for all ex-facilitators for the 2009/2010 intake.
  • Saturday - Genting till evening/night depending on plans.
I've gotta make up my mind before 12pm. Wish me luck lolz.

Update!

Been really busy last week till I really had no time blogging. Lecturer En. Zul came to Computer Protocol to check on my Industrial Training and progress. My presentation was clear, though some of my facts and information are not concrete enough. Supervisor Mr. Sheeva helped me out in almost every single part he could. Thank goodness. He really did save my neck! Later, felt a little guilt in myself for not being able to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding. Sometimes, I realize that my ego/self-confidence is so darn high that I assume I know almost everything. Gotta fix on that asap.

What I am happy about:
  1. Presentation is over. Tensions gone for now. Proceed with Industrial Training for the next one month.
  2. My supervisor for being so helpful. Am really grateful to have him.
  3. Computer Protocol is a great company as described by En. Zul. I chose a pretty good place to do my internship where I've adopted the knowledge and experience on VoIP.
  4. Supervisor gave me 85/100 for his overall assessment of my performance.

Went to Danica's party at her house on Saturday night. Thank goodness I managed to get her something that she likes. It's a key chain with her name engraved on it and a four leave clover. Get to meet up with some of my primary schoolmates such as Marvinder & Preet Kamal. :)

Danica's Party
Bryan, Mel, Danica, Charis, Shee Ree and I


On Sunday, I had another birthday party to attend and this time it's Jessica Lim Chen Chen. Went to her house and makan, lepak, played games, mingle and etc. No gambling/drink sessions at all. Decent aren't we? :D Played some party games which are just so darn funny. The best part is to laugh at their facial expressions which are filled with blurness like Rafferty & Brian!

When SNSD meets Super Junior

Super Junior (SUJU) & SNSD (Girls' Generation) has released their new album from SM Entertainment called SEOUL. Pretty good song, though it has not been soshified yet. The term 'soshified' means English Subb and it's popular if you watch a lot of YouTube videos. I went through one of the english subb one but it was subb pretty badly lolz. Not as good as the one I saw on channel V, Astro. I didn't know channel V shows music videos of Korean pop artists with subtitles! Oh well, maybe I just found out lately.




S.E.O.U.L Sing Together!

Happy CNY

Chinese New Year is here! Everyone will be busy packing up, making "zhai choi" and meeting with family and friends. Angpow collection will be a bonus. Unless you're really desperate to visit each and every one of your friends haha. Nahh, I'm just joking. Visiting and being desperate for angpows are two different aspects ok. Do get the right reasons!

Lecturer from UniMAP will be visiting me on the 20/2/2010. It's his 1st visit where he will be assessing my performance, tasks, understanding, knowledge, experience and etc... throughout the entire industrial training program. Pretty tense you know since he's a little fussy. Well, there's only two things that needs to be done.
  1. Update my logbook
  2. Prepare my ppt presentation

This means that I'll be doing the "Kerja sambil makan kacang" kinda thing throughout my whole CNY. Sucky but at least I have something to do back in my hometown when it's dead boring. Had my British sitcom "IT Crowd" and several other movies for stanby purposes.


Important:

Please drive extra safe when you're going anywhere. There have been several accidents in the North South Expressway this evening. I hope that there isn't any deaths involve. Practice defensive driving technique is something I would advice many to do so.

DSC00243
Well, the picture explains the opposite haha!

Defensive driving = Assuming every driver out there is an idiot!


I will be away till next Tuesday. So, wish all of you readers out there a Happy Chinese New Year. May you be blessed with lots of "ong" (Goodluck/Prosperity). Not really sure about that. Take care and have a blessed weekend. God bless :)

Semangat bekerja!

Daily routine goes on. Life has never been this free haha. When it comes to working, it has to do with something that you are busy with everyday. It can be either a part time job (Working in F&B, retail outlets and etc) or a full timer like my case. But I've gotta tell u that I enjoy working in places that allows me to spend time without notice. Take two scenarios;

waiterServing

  1. Working in restaurants. Busy taking bills to customers, serving food and drinks, being a cashier and etc... Time flies so fast that when you look at your watch... it's time to BALIK!
  2. Office work. Well sooner or later, you'll be experiencing how is it like to be in office! Staring at the computer Facebooking, watching movie, taking your own sweet time, learning stuffs at a very slow rate and etc... Time flies so slow...
3_web_computing


Maybe because I'm doing Industrial Training and that's how it is supposed to be. But for some, they might be busy setting up servers, doing metal casting, molding, manufacturing and more... Envy huh? Haha...Worst, you need to figure out what to write for your weekly report. Some even query about my work at Computer Protocol. Questions are like:
  • Dei, what you do everyday la. Facebook-ing like 24/7 ni. So free la you!
  • Gosh, I could see your status updates in my home page almost everyday. Are you really working?!
  • WAIT a minute! Did you just said you were watching movie?
  • So basically you're treating your office as if it was your house?

Although I do have a lot of free time, I never fail to asked my supervisor for work. I can't sit down and watch movie/YouTube all day long. Gotta be productive! So yeah, he'll assign me some job to do. But, there's no duration to it. "Up to you man. I gave you a task. Just do it at your own pace". I'll blog about the experience and knowledge I've gained later. That's all for today. Have a great day :D

This is what you need to do when you park at BB!

I am what I am?

I never believe in what the world quotes "I am what I am". So, allow me to state what the world thinks. I am what I am, and will always be who I am made to be. In life, I want people to accept me for who I am. It doesn't really mattes how he/she is feeling towards me. Why would I change? Change for the sake of mankind so I'll be accepted? Or allow people to accept me for who I am without changing? I don't get it. If you don't like me, then just get out of my life. I'm like that! And who are u to care about my attitude and actions. I have mine and you have yours. Take it or leave it. Mind your own business...

think


As you can see, some people have the wrong perception of 'change' when it comes to attitude. They view change as drastic one rather than the little improvements that could mean a lot to the people around them. Is it so hard for you to do something with a little more consideration? Is it so hard for you to leave yourself behind a little while and think about others? You are what you want to be!

What I have to say:
I am the kind of person who always search for improvements in life. If I could do something that could put a smile on someone's face...I would. If I could leave behind my selfishness for a little while, I would. If someone would to tell me that I did something wrong, you will have my thanks a thousand times. Till now, I've been living up to my words. I can't stand people who are static. People who wants to be accepted for who they are. Yes, I accept u for who u are. But, that does not mean that you can do whatever you like without a slight conscience in you. "I'm like that! There's no ******* **** you can do about it!". See...total ignorance...

If you think that I am the only one that is having this problem with you, then you can always ask your closest friend around. I don't judge people, I judge actions. I did my part as a friend by telling you what's wrong with it. The rest is up to you. Decisions are either one of these two;

  1. Accept it as another improvement that needs to be done in your life. Result - Self-explanatory.
  2. Kick it all the way to the curb. Result - You will never improve and stay static. Friends around you will continue to ignore you and your actions since they are unacceptable. Your new friends will cont to suffer the end results of your actions in the long run just as how your close companions did. You will end up in tears as a result of loneliness.

Zouk@KL

I was still in pain, whole body aching. Ughh, this is terrible. It was pretty bad that I couldn't get off my bed after the evening nap. Kevin, Chen and Mag was being persuasive in getting Sid and I to Zouk. The main reason I rejected is mainly because there is no exact number of people coming for it. I had enough of nights with the guys. There is no way that I'm getting in without girls. Simple as that. After much discussions, Sid and I decided to go. The only reason that kept me going is because of Mag haha. Did not see her for almost 7 years already.

IMGP5686


Oh btw, we forget our directions to Zouk. Someway somehow, we took the NPE - Smart Tunnel and to Jalan Tun Razak. From Tun Razak, choose the road that leads to Jalan Ampang. Zouk should be on your left. Feel free to park around that area with a fee of RM8-RM10. And just as we were about to turn into the parking lot....


Bang!


Some bloody MyVI hit us from the side. I was a little in shock cause it was so sudden. Nothing much to say except F**K! So who's right and who's fault?

MyVI - "Dude, you're in the 2nd lane cutting into the first lane"
Wira - "I've put my signal turning right ON!" Instead, you hit me from the side. I did nothing!"
MyVI - "But you're cutting from the 2nd lane. You're in the wrong"
Wira - "If I've signaled right, the person on that lane must give way to the driver on the left. It's a simple rule in the undang"

IMGP5638

Went to check on the MyVI damage. Omg, it's like a little scratch in the front side. Not even a dent! He demanded RM500 for that mere scratch. I was damn mad so I told him;

"Dude, your MyVI damage is not even a dent! Look at our Wira. I can settle for you with a paint job that costs RM50. What about it?"

MyVI - "Who the **** are you?!"

He's such a retard! Simple dumb ass that knows nuts about scratch and dent. To avoid any arguments, I just said; "Let's be fair to each other". Done. Later, Mag just gave him RM300 to settle that minor damage. =.='''. Case solved.

======= About Zouk KL =======


It's Friday night and DJ Goldfish will be spinning all the HipHop, Electro and Open Format tracks throughout the night till 3am. I've gotta say that he's good at it. I enjoyed the beats and music. Opened two bottles of Hennesy V.S.O.P. I'm expecting the price to be RM480++ per bottle.

IMGP5673


What about the girls? Pretty chun! I was amazed haha! It's like the 2nd best right behind Euphoria. Tempat inilah yang sesuai untuk cuci mata. Jika berkebolehan, boleh minta dia orang datang minum bersama.

IMGP5685

Ambience - The lighting of the main dance floor in Zouk is good. There's just one thing I dislike about night clubs - Smokes. Inhaling 2nd hand smoke increases the risks of lung cancer. Haha, alright I'll stop the nonsense here.

Drinks - Hennesy V.S.O.P. What say you? :D. But do bare in mind that the bottles in Zouk are expensive! When I mean expensive, it really is. Therefore, you might wanna have a look into your wallet before proceeding.

Age limit - This is strictly 21 years for both men and women. I've gotta say that my group were the youngest looking group there.


Warning!!! Never ever pass out in Zouk. They will kick you out for real. Stay sober!

Good luck UPU

I've submitted my local uni application forms to 7 universities including East Malaysia. Well, I just wanna apply and see what are my hits haha. Here are the top 4 local universities I've selected:

  1. UniMAP
  2. UTM
  3. UTeM
  4. UMS
Sent them all via Pos Express since the Post Laju service is unavailable due to technical difficulties. The difference between Express & Laju is that Laju requires the signature of the recipient. Both courier service are traceable via Post Malaysia website by entering the codes that you've obtain from each Pos Express envelope.

Restoran Kampung Baiduri

Tired of the same old mamak supplying the same old food? Well well for most common mamaks in Subang Jaya, you'll realise that they will serve you the following:
  1. Nasi Briyani
  2. Ayam Goreng
  3. Kepala Ikan (not many places are good)
  4. Kari Kambing
  5. Sotong Goreng
  6. Kari Daging (Beef is usually known as Daging)
There are definitely more than this list I've mentioned above. So, why don't we try the famous Mutton Shank in Kampung Baiduri? Heard of it? If you don't, then you'll have to treat yourself with these tender mutton shank in Petaling Jaya.


IMGP5630

This place is famous for its curry fish head and mutton shank. That's what I eat most of the time visiting this premise.


IMGP5631
They do serve other dishes as well

IMGP5633
RM9.00 for one. Pretty reasonable compared to Lotus
