...get well soon, loon...

...visited loon and he was resting and alone. looking at him lying there resting and watching tv and able to talk brings relief to the heart. he is ok. sounded well too; except for the ulcer in his mouth. skin color fair. heck he as always been fair all the while. as a matter of fact, he looks really pink. chalked up some conversation with him and he told me the entire story of how this klang guy going thru so much trouble in hospitals and finally admitted to a hospital that is so far from his house. imagine, for those who does not have medical card or insurance, how would they have chose their hospital. what would these people do? it just strike me to think that and cant stop wondering about those really unfortunate ones.

ok, back to loon. a short visit to him, a small talk and relief he looks so much better than what was describe in the sms. visited him again this afternoon. when we arrived, he was sleeping like a baby but i think we three stooges couldnt keep quiet thus he was awaken by our constant giggling. he looks much better today. the doctor came and examined him after he has his platelet drip which took less than ten minutes to go into his body. doctor said his count was low today but not to worry it will increase by tomorrow. relief! and doctor manage to crack a joke too. i snapped a picture of loon. hope loon dont mind me posting it up here.

picture of loon in the hospital bed. loon was the magician for incovar during one of the camps long ago. he came and performed some magic show for us. in which he became gained instant popularity among the university students and from then on, he has been a supporter of incovar; constantly contributing cash support for us to run the camp. all of us here will transfer good merits to you for a speedy recovery.

get well soon, loon...

...good morning sunshine...

...was driving to work this morning and saw a beautiful sky. only have my samsung which i only managed this. the last i saw was in japan (but of course it was nothing compared to what i saw in japan). at least the morning scenery greeted me and i know everything will be ok. my sunshine constantly sends morning smses to me to wish me a wonderful morning and all the smses really made a difference. the creator of this morning sunshine sms is also the creator of dkdc; weird but true. and the creator really knows how to make a difference in peoples life. small act of kindness makes a wonderful day at work. and here is a good morning sunshine to you. hope your day will be full of sunshine. good morning sunshine!...

...transferring good merits...

...dn is fine. however early in the morning received a shocking news.

platelet count below minimum. quite dangerous condition. now monitoring.

so many things comes to mind. all the what ifs start bothering me and kept diverting my attention. he is a dem good friend. and we are all worried. after a while, i was informed. he sounded ok. what a relief.

i have heard of so many of such cases of people affected by it. and many who have passed on just like that. it is so dangerous that we should not look at it lightly; though it sounds light. once i was having high fever up and down for almost a month. going on mc on and off. suspected le. tested blood. this and that. but luckilyblood test came out negative. so relief.

this time early morning strike jackpot. it happend to a dear friend. dengue is the dem thing. please take care of yourself. loon, may you recover soon. will transfer all good merits to you...

...ok. noproblem...

...quite a number of ppl asked about dn's condition. dn is fine. just normal flu package that drops by once a while. wacking ten panadols and a whole bunch of antibiotics did the trick...

...metz with fooch...

...fooch appearance have managed to charm everyone that he interacts with. first it was the 9bugz team who was so into fooch and his amazing knowledge in multimedia stuff and then it was MEtzteam. i am impress with him. what came as an error in his visa application that got him stuck in the country turned out to be a time where he expanded his fanclub base. totally unexpected. and of course we were all in a way glad (laughing the evil way) that he got stuck here.

5 hours with fooch seems to be too short. so many things to learn but so short of time. fooch imparted on us his knowledge of the industry practises of how a multimedia project would be like and what are the milestones to achieve. very much related to my project management process and lifecycle too.

adobe after effect was marvelous. dem canggih man. we didnt realise that such software can do so much wonders to a film. and i tot all those camera effect are so hard to replicated in real life. all MEtz guys were so into learning and getting to learn as much from fooch as possible. hmm, mebbe fooch should be a lecturer huh, part time mebbe. the 3 of them were extremely attentive listening to fooch; and well i was overly excited attending the class too. it was a wonderful lesson from fooch. and thanks fooch for a wonderful day of sharing...

...fooch showing the MEtz team on handling the video camera...

...some shots taken during the lesson...

...richkid syndrome...

...where on earth are the clinics when you needed to find one at such odd hours? answer is to call bhante. wakakaz. before the call, we were like driving up and down setapak area; searching high and low; making illegal turns and last resort, call bhante. finally with bhante's guide, we found a 15-hour clinic just next to the lrtstation. we reached the clinic jit : just in time before it closes at eleven. it was almost 10.45pm. dn was sick with fever, sorethroat, runway nose, etc. all-in-one. while filling up the forms; dn was asked what sort of medication is he allergic to; and alll sorts of x-mins, y-mins and whatever-mins came out and the nurse was like; ok enuff. tell it to the doctor. i was like; waliao this kid is full of allergies aka the rich-kid syndrome(according to dn); only selected medication; expensive ones that is allowed to enter the body. wakakaz. a short five minutes consultation with the doctor and we are done.

somehow, thinking about it, it must be quite hard on him and to find out of the allergy is a painful process. trial and error; not knowing what the body will react to and what the outcome will be like. will it come in the form of rashes or fever, or swelling all over? i am lucky i dont come with any allergy to medicine or lactose or seafood or any of that sorts. the only time i talk about my allergy is when i want to avoid food intake and slim down ten pounds. and i am still dreaming of the days when i was just over 170pounds! what a july24 to remember...

...first anniversary...

...today marks the 1st anniversary of my first loveletter. farnee how kevin put it; first loveletter after 8 years of underground love. wakakaz. thought it was a quirky way of putting it. its also bck's birthday today. i remember exactly one year ago, seven early eight early i was in his room; passing him the loveletter which i so heavy heartedly wrote and going into his room and wished him happy birthday; handed the letter to him and immediately the felt something is not right. he closed the door behind me and read my loveletter. we threw everything on the table and made out - with words of course. it was the hardest 3 hours in the room. after 3 long hours of making out - my words obviously, he finally got it. and it was not the happiest of my days, but definitely memorable. another copy was cced to vp. happy one year anniversary to me...

...meatballs...

...been so long since i last had meatballs from ikea. sure feels good to have meatballs again. satisfying...

...msnsing...

...msnsing. another kind of affair that people have. and everyone does it. the only thing one need is online. my sunday's affair has it fair share of good stories to tell too. sometimes its great to come online, spending the nite doing nothing but just hanging around and indulging in msnsing. my sunday nite msn buddy would come online and chat. this affair covers a whole lot of sharing and sampating. sharing of our passion for photography and sampating about people around us. wakakaz. somehow my boring sunday has become a wonderful affair; where our msnsing has thoughts that comes alive and stories become real. sunday nite msnsing has become more exciting...

...alive in msnsing...

...a farnee picture shared by msn buddy. wakakaz. taken using a 50-250mm, the close up shot is dem farnee. wait till you see the entire picture. its even more farnier. i cut out the part of the eyes only. some may be able to recognise the person from the specs. wakakaz. i cant stop laughing...

...d'chair...

...nominations were handed up immediately after the 29IDC. candidates have been selected. finalist were picked. and one made it to the chair. presenting our 30IDC chairperson. someone charismatic. charming in nature. compelling in words. appealing to many. fascinating to incovar. let me present to you...

...fooch-ing interesting...

...wakakaz. mj also like briyani rice. 9bugz went to makan briyani rice in subang. not too bad lar. i think it was so so. they didnt give good gravy though. fooch came along. somehow i think i have heard of his name a few times before but that time, the name was just a name but now it came with a face attached. i think he helped incovar to design logo before. but anyway, he gave us a super sai lei "presentation" of his portfolio and helped us in many ways i would dream that we have him as one of the incovar committee. i think i just fell in love with his job. waliao. and now i could only see it in my dream. when will i get to have a building located at a prestigious place and name it jee-yon!

fooch gave me a few tips on illustrator. wow. i now learnt a new trick. interesting. and i gotta ask fooch to meet my 3boys and i am sure they would love him. and fooch is more than happy to meet the 3 of them; infact the more the merrier. and thus next week. yea. next week. cant wait.

pretty interesting nite. first time in bugz meeting i learnt so many things and i feel so light because i didnt have to do anything but learn new things. wakakaz. will definitely have fooch in my mailing list of people i want to ask more questions to beside kns! wakakaz...

...walking backwards towards the future...

...it was a really long journey of awakening. roadblocks everywhere. accidents. but there was silence. nobody said anything. but being aware of it is enough. it was indeed silent but meaningful. it was a nite i was so worried. about safety, about whatever may go wrong, just about it. but the call was reassuring enough for me. the voice on the other end of the phone were convincingly clear that nothing will go wrong. i am in a way glad but worried. i was drowned in much intoxicants that i had a hangover the next morning; didnt sleep well. think too much with alot of what could have happened.

next morning hangover was brought over to counselling. attended counselling; not being counselled but a counselling workshop. pretty not bad i guess. mostly was blur to me due to my intoxicating paracetamol that didnt really do a good job. arggh, so hard to keep awake despite all the good speakers, great lectures and wonderful learning experience. what a complete waste. wakakaz. but enough. i learnt one simple thing.

most of the time we go towards the future by walking backwards. why are we facing the other way around when we go towards the future. we should be facing the future and walk towards the future. and i think that is a dem great philosophy. i feel so light now.

feeling light and breezy, went to one-step to find dn and jt for dinner. ended having a dem long lecture (that was what jt calls it) that lasted more than 3 hours. i feel more lighter. wakakaz. jt felt much heavier. so to lighten jt, we called in bhante to do some blessings. sitting under the tree, infront of sky, bhante did his magic. bhante is indeed bhante. dem gengz bhante. one word of wisdom kautim. ride to nilai was much lighter; we all indirectly scored a goal. and its easier to move on then...

...WHY why ler...

...incovar is 30 now. celebrating 30 inspirational camps and 22 wonderful years of inspirational friendship. and 30idc is gonna be unique. expect something different with the new chairperson. presenting to you the 30idc chairperson. coming to my blog this WHY camp!...

...inspiring the future...

...day one was full of brainstorming. talk alot. too many ideas. dem alot of things to do. lots of sarcasm. tonnes of suggestions. pages of minutes written. non-stop discussion. ideas kept pouring. but no volunteers. its really straining most of the times. its not my first time anyway. metz's in and there will be tonnes of great opportunities to rawk the world.

because at bgf, we inspire the future...

...rm58...

...this thing cost me rm58. my gawd. so dem expensive. wtf! is samsung ripping me off? i bought my samsung e900 so dem long ago. infact almost 2 years. it came with a bluetooth too, but it was spoilt just after a month of using. then i took it back for warranty but they said they could not fix it and fark them; they did not give me a replacement. but this handsfree lasted me really long. i am still having it now; though no longer stereo cos the jt incident when i slammed the cardoor on it and it crushed. literally into pieces. jt! wakakaz. its so easy to find a guinnea babi to blame it on. but its my own fault anyway for not being midnful.

yeap still using it now and the other side wiring is getting loose. its about time to get a new one now. but wtf its rm58!!!...
