...bouncing back...

...i guess its time for me to bounce back into action. for so many months, so many days and for the longest of time, i believe i have been stuck in time and not able to move on. i think it is time to bounce back and do something about it. i am determined to make a change...

...ohno! not again...

...sometimes, at nite. i wonder. what the heck am i doing? and most of the time, the hour before i doze off to sleep, my mind will just fly here and there. reflecting and thinking. whats wrong with me? sometimes i dont even understand myself. but i do enjoy doing it. so glad i enjoyed every moment of it.

its those days when i dont understand what am i doing...

...history+geography...

...do you think learning history can be rather boring? absolutely! yes. i totally do not like history. geography was more like my subject. getting to go places and travel to places on the world map is indeed, breathtaking! then when we combine history and geography, what do we get? two saturdays in a row i was in malacca with kokwai. as if nothing better to do. the trip was actually to plan for something team building program that i am supposed to run in a week's time. a team building to run around jonker's street to st paul's hill and hang li poh's well and bukit cina and all around malacca.

it was really exciting; where kokwai the so-called expert in treasure hunt and me the expert in experiential learning programs. and combining both of these experts; and what do you get? shopping time @jonkers. wakakaz. kokwai was busy snapping pictures and clues and places to be turned into clues and i was busy noting down the location of where kokwai took those pictures. both of us were walking around jonkers and me with a file and pen writing down notes on every few steps i took. its amazing how we have mapped out jonker street in a few hours; location of each of the store and what they sell and their pricing. wakakaz.

the night ended with a lovely chat over coffee with ah loon. been really long time since i have met this dear friend of mine. thinking back all those years. wakakaz...

...jabatan BOMB...

...this picture was taken just outside my office. shucks! wth are they doing there?...

...diarrhea of the mouth...

...i stuffed myself with so much food today that i was totally washed out when i reached home. why did i have to stuff myself with all those weird looking stuffs into my stomach; paying so high for it and spending tonnes of money for it and all it goes was direct passage thru my anal. and i must learn to be nice to people from now on.

i am suffering from diarrhea of the mouth. too much bitching news comes out from my mouth. mebbe its getting smellier by the day. darn. bitching. releasing frust. writing facebook messages. lunch bitching session. tea bitching session. msn bitching session. talk about life man. this disease gotta be cured soon man.

but somehow this disease has helped to discharge all the negative energy and let me regain back some positive energy. and i guess, i just had my biggest diarrhea just a couple of minutes ago in thru my anal passageway! i have already let it go by the big discharge. its satisfying when u have such big discharge. i am free now..my mouth stinks no more. darlie fresh! see me smile!...

...branding for xCITE!...

...i have placed a series of ad about xCITE in facebook. and it has generated lots of feedback and curiosity. hmm, i hope the posters are working. and thanks to tzayeong for all the amazing poses. i believe his modelling career can just fly!...

...pretty xCITE! in bangkok...

...the latest posters that i will post up soon. this shot was taken in bangkok bts where tzayeong was holding the bts ticket. i just thought it was really nice angle and everything just falls so nicely there...

...ฉันรักกรุงเทพฯ...

...พลาดกรุงเทพฯ. เพื่อความสุขไปกรุงเทพฯอีกครั้ง. ลาดเชื่อว่า. บินไปกรุงเทพฯพรุ่งนี้...

...sawadeekrab. bangkok here i come. wakakaz. i have not set foot in the new suvanarbhumi airport since it was opened. my last trip to bangkok was in april 2005. and yes. i am going to bangkok again. yay baby. *swinging my butt dancing* more news from bangkok later...

...colors of our lives...

...picture was taken with my sgh e900 when i was in the states. it was a splurge; a trip of a lifetime and i was with fred. the picture is actually the ceiling of a hotel lobby; i think its the bellagio the famous hotel in vegas. oh vegas is marvellous. awesome array of lights and people. and the hotels architecture; i simply fell in love with vegas. astonishing.

the multitudes of shades and the colorful glass made the whole world so bright. if i had not looked up, i would not have seen this work of beauty. i totally love this shot. it reminds me of how beautiful our lives can be if we would just look up the sky and smile...

...triple happiness...

...what the toot triple happiness is this? mcb. daniel and i thought of a dem good idea for the wedding video for ljs but duh the wife didnt like to be so kua cheong but i guess ljs love the idea and would follow our lead if not because of the wife. but who cares, since this couple dowan the idea will be kept a secret and will be revealed for our next client. wakakaz. so because the pictures given by ljs is not stim enough, we lost our motivation to do the video. i guess that explains the last minute. yea, seriously no mood liao. we didnt want it to be boring and certainly our names will be mentioned and definitely more than 300 pairs of eyes will be watching. must do a good job. but the source file is so pathetic. cant stand the sight of it and how la to do a good job? argh. daniel apa boleh buat? don care first la. leave it to last minute. wedding is on saturday. wednesday passed and thursday came knocking. still feeling pathetic. thursday nite was a difficult nite to sleep. and its friday! lunch passed without me noticing any work done. tea time came with some rojak session with colleague at the pantry. oh shit. mcb. its 5pm. daniel was having exams then. tzayeong called to send him the files for him to start work on another video. still no sign of the semangat to do the video yet. still stuck. still looking at the sky day dreaming.

gotta sms daniel. gotta sms daniel. 6pm. still no sign of motivation and no reply from daniel. cham. how? supposedly to meet jack to discuss about his business plan. lucky he cancelled. phew. cos sure not free one. call. call daniel now. sos. didnt pick up phone. omigod. mcb. mega die man. daniel, where are you ar? finally. at last. heart attack man. at last daniel called. calling for sos. wakakaz. picked him up. packed his stuffs. choose what shirt to wear. what color to match. at that particular moment, still no thougths yet on the video. don care la. dem hungry di. kenot think. drove to section 19 area eat banana leave rice; we got chicken and mutton and ice lemon tea and a stomach full of curry. stomach full. start video. sit down and do video. ya right. do video. we started chatting and cursing and gossiping and still no sign of idea yet. but we had lots of gossip news and farnee moments. song came also to pass us the camera and stuffs. how nice of him to loan us his baby. ok. now. still no mood. ljs arr, no mood to do arr. no inspiration. no motivation. argh. its already 10pm. chat and chat and talk and talk. still no inspiration yet. then the light came. ya right. as if got light. mebbe just excuses kua. cos we talked so big. most probably a pathetic idea. but how its already 11pm and still nothing yet. need something arr. heart already beating so dem fast.

ya right, the light shone on us. why not do the other way around. instead of young to old. we do old to young. something different. simple idea la. but different lor. knowing me. knowing daniel we dont settle for simple stuffs. we go for concepts. though we don have nice gears and we don have good softwares, but we have excellent brain and a good heart and a wonderful concept to build new things. our inspiration your excellence. but ljs ar, this time really no inspiration. really hope the video will turn out nice arr.

and after six hours and a nite without sleep, eyes bulging like cookie monster. body stinko like dung. aircond cold like shit. yay!finally kaotim; well almost all of it. packed. clean. shower and off we go to tzayeong's house to pick him up for our 2-days adventures with our cameras...

our itinerary:

saturday.15-aug-2009

cover jinsong's picking up his bride. lunch cover allexlim wife to be convocation. afternoon back to aarontan's house complete video for jinsong's wedding. this is where the tension comes again. there was daniel's video to finish compilation. and tzayeong's video of the morning session to complete. it was 4pm when daniel and i reach aarontan's place and tzayeong was still fiddling with picture no 1 and aarontan was still editing pictures. my gawd guys. we gotta leave at 530pm to the restaurant. still editing?

obviously the air was cold. i felt the chill in the hot summer afternoon up my spine and i suddenly shrugged a little like you just finished peeing kinda feel; up the hill overlooking cheras. the chilling coke and the cool aircond makes the air even more chilled. the hairs on my unshaved chin stood up. i nearly dieded there with aarontan mega die chillin air. tzayeong was tensed. daniel was sleepy. i was wipedout. i needed a ten minute nap. tzayeong was rubbing his cheek with his palm; that means red alert. but this fella seems to be able to work well beneath the tonnes of pressure while daniel is taking is easy on him too. both of these kids sure can perform well under the pressure cooker. but this bapak sure helluva mega heart attack with ljs on my back calling me every minute. stood strong till the last minute. of course we covered it well. the video was fantastic. the idea was excellent. everyone loved it. we enjoyed it.

sunday.16-aug-2009

morning cover allexlim registration of marriage. late. late. that was on my mind rushing to daniel's pv10. allexlim was constantly reminding me how late am i. but we are all tired. the nite before was absolutely one hundred percent exhausted. but we had to stop at 7-11 for coffee and milo. that was a thrill!. obviously very late. got at least ten calls from our dear fren who has cold feet kept reminding me about the time and kept forcing me to tell lies; every call is about where am i and i had to lie about my location, constantly adding abut 2km from where i am now. and the final call was too much km to add. we were just at the corner. an interesting rom i would say, totally like where got people do it so kua cheong one la. ini budak melampau la. ding dong ding dong all kao tim pictures taken and then lunch over at summit and back to allexlim home for more pictures and mingling.

wah seh. after all these. fcukingly tired man. mcb. kenot think liao. and to think of it. ya right triple happiness. the angpow received was awesome. the double angpow is certainly awesome man. wakakaz. that is what we call triple happiness. happiness from lack of sleep. happiness from the angpows. happiness for doing something so passionate. thanks guys for the opportunity...

...manijer...

...i've found myself a manager. and i am so going on with the absolutely wonderful concept. and i need support. who is into character development, i need your support...

...two - one +...

...two negative equals positive. seven early eight early while i was driving to work, i saw a dog in a cage being pulled away by most probably the bandaraya people. the dog look so dem sad, sitting at the corner of the cage; as if waiting to die. i nearly couldnt control myself seeing the poor dog in that condition. later that night, while i was driving home, i saw this parents on a motorcycle; but sandwich between them is their child - with his leg wide open sitting in between the parents and without a helmet. the little boy starred at me and i looked back; cant stop feeling lousy for the little boy. oh my goodness, i am crying adi. thinking back all my small kid experiences. and where i was brought up.

i grew up in a not so well to do family. i dont live in a big house or my dad drives a huge seven series to work. i dont have maid. i dont have the luxury of sleeping in an aircond room from young. i don get mcd! i wear old worn off school shoes from my brother. all my watches are second hand watches. and heck, my parents cant even afford to send me to college for my tertiary education. not that i am entirely overwhelmed with the condition i grew up with; cos heck it was not enough. totally not enough. i dont have an option; especially with so many other responsibility on hand that time.

but anyway, those were old stories. olden days. the history will not determine who i will be in the future, but it will show me the way to who i want to be later. i am rich now; not materialistically but spiritually. wakakaz. i changed alot ever since i entered uni. that time life has put upon me some changes that i could never imagined it would. the changes made me a different person i am now; and that is the positive thing...

...finding light...

...everyone of us is infact a good natured person at heart. but the nature of the world has somehow managed to ravage and devoured our goodness bring us into destitute,despair and hope without a home. but the ligth continues to search the land to snatch people back from the clutches of the devil of the night and wipe away all their tears. bringing them back to goodness. when people find their real identities, they will no longer be afraid of darkness and people will not stray away again.

my philosophy is pretty simple, be the light. how many of us really understands how it feels like to have lost the light? not having the light of hope and being lost in the darkness brings us to the lowest of the lowest and falls into the trap of depression. depression kills. yea, trust me i know. depression did actually came to me without warning and has nearly caused me dearly. i did not share the story with many people, but those whom know about my story will understand why do i want to be the light to fight the darkness. for someone to have lost the most precious thing called hope is really unimaginable. hope is what keeps us moving forward. and to lose hope is losing all that we have. there is no will to move forward. i wont turn down any offer to be of service to people. and that is what i have dedicated to and work towards finding lights...

...naked truth...

...my good fren is getting married next month and he asked my team to help him with his mulitmedia stuffs. he also insisted to show this picture(sorry friend, i gotta post this picture up my blog; lucky you nobody reads my blog anyway but if anyone of you out there like the picture shoot'em in the comments). but i had to cover up some parts so that i wont get banned from blogspot. such an adorable baby. in 2 more weeks he will be getting married and the truth is, so hard to explain. and all you need is 2 months to plan your wedding for 500 people. but 3 months to get idc moving. he did it in half the time and this fella has truly amazing energy and spirit; literally. fulamak this fren really rawks the boat. wakakakz...

i had dinner with this fren last nite; again at the curve which makes it 3 consecutive days at the curve; officially spending rm6 for parking and rm6 for toll. we had a wonderful long chat; helping him here and there for the wedding preparation; getting friends to sing opening song, yadda-yadda-yadda and lots of phone calls and interesting discussions about other people. and coming out with the most amazing idea for 32idc. amazing again dnbl wud ask. and he will end up with KK LM CB amazing again. wakakaz. i will be there to make it happen. congratulations again my dear friend...

...plastics...

...it was quite a last minute arrangements actually. kevin asked me out for dinner and i said yes. since both of us have not been to the curve for the longest time, we suggested to make our presence there. initially it was all about cheapest food we can find. and most cost effective ones. then not long after that kevin said he has his claim approved and he will buy me dinner; anything also can. wakakaz. since money not so much of an issue. so suggest kao-kao expensive places. but ended up little penang munching on lobak and otak otak! which was okler. since kevin is buying dinner.

but seriously money not enough di. salary not out yet. soon i think. soon. or issit out di? shud be out le. so, my dinner date with kevin was like a bitching session; arent all our dinner session are bitching session. he has not heard me bitched about this plastic ball MCB turtle head for the longest time and he needed upates on this plastic ball MCB turtle head. wakakaz. so all our energy and mental thoughts are focused on this plastic ball MCB turtle head. once upon a time a fairy tale of a plasticball turtle who went fishing; hoping to get a big fish but ended having the need to make executive decision to overwrite others opinion; closing the space for interaction and narrowing down the need to use the constipated mind that has a diorrhea of the mouth MFCB shit. this piece of bitching agenda went on for few hours without any of us knowing the time.

haih. wtf man. ok. lets not waste any more time of plastic balls. it was great to catch up again. and it was wonderful chatting...

...got a knife?...

...monday nite was a bad day. terrible feeling. all my energy sucked to the max. i wasnt in the mood to talk at all. all my energy are negatives. aaron asked me to ignore and move on. yea, i can but when the turtle head kept barking at you and making the diorrheatic sound farting from the mouth, i cannot tahan anymore. got a knife? i wanna chop off the blardy turtle head!...

...incredible india...

...incredibly hot india. picture taken from hotel window at 630pm...

...i never dream that i wud be going to india. i mean i wud love to visit my kai-yer; who is a scottish but reside in pune now but i never thought my job would land me in india. i was on a business trip; thats wht people call it le. but i prefer to call it work mar. was there to conduct a hr audit for a company in delhi. this work trip brought me to delhi. i flew off from klia with MH. and my gawd, 99.99percent are indians. every single angle i turn my head, i see a black face; literally. indians. not that i have something against indians, i mean mebbe, but everyone in the flight is indian. and the indira gandhi international aiport, KNN. i was stucked at the airport for almost 2 hours upon arrival. waited 90min to get my luggage back and when i got it, the wheel was broken. SMFCBAH you ar. i asked where should i complain. nobody cared; i guess they pretended dunno. haih. there goes the wheel on my bag. cheh india! nad yea, totally "incredible" and another 30min to get to the car, put the luggage in the car and go out from the carpark. yea, it was congested even in the small little carpark out in the open air of 40degrees at night. when people say india is hot. super hot. i didnt understand what super hot 45degrees mean and LM KNN the super hot is really hot. imagine a normal day in kl is already 30degrees, and india is like 45degrees. ya. my face got burnt. though i applied some spf godknowswhat before i left the hotel but LM the 45degrees really had a great burning effect on my face. shit MCB. i got tanned skin when i reached home. india is so LM hot.

...the bmw 7 series that send us to our clients office...

my hr audit lasted 3 days. only have like half a day of shopping and relaxation to be done before flying home. with no time to waste and luckily the hotel, LM talking about the hotel. dem yau yeng. as soon as i reached the hotel, this indian lady came up to me and wished me good evening and followed by my name. MCB how she knows my name. i guess staying in such high end hotel does have its great deal of benefit. i was staying in shangri la delhi. then she escorted me to my room, open my room door and she followed me in. wahseh, i was shocked cos never in my life i had the hotel staff opened the door for me and followed me into the room. and she pulled a chair and ask me to sit down. it was like KNS ha, what is going on. then she asked me to fill in my particulars in the registration check in form. then she ask me alot of questions here and there and asked me to sign here and there; not knowing what i am signing. but i guess its nothing much just the normal registration checkin procedures. this is what i call good service. and her name is pretti. wakakakz. ya, pretty!

...india gate...

so, back to my shopping spree. i used to tease ah loon about the huge dark longkangs in delhi compared to the ones back home. and we all use to laugh at ah loon for salivating at the smelly big dirty longkangs there in mumbai. and now i got to see the real humongous longkangs of indias. wakakaz. anyway, aside from longkangs, shopping under the blardy 45degrees isnt so fun. dem MCB. its fcukingly hot. didnt buy much things except for 3 shirts from a retail shop for my 3 sons; the shirts are really exquisite; knowing for the fact that indian cotton is top of the class and the design, indian style le.

45degrees have really taken a toll on me. as soon as i reached the hotel, i went and soak myself in the bathtub in cold water. wah. KNS dem melegakan man. rest a while then packed my stuffs and checked out from the hotel. since my flight is like midnite, and its only like 6pm. i had 2 more hours to spare so spent the last 2hours completing the transpyres slides and had milkshake and calamari with it in the hotel bar.

talking about food, indian food i love. the tandoori the curries the lassis wah seh dem nice man. and everyday during our meeting, we were served tea every hour. wah. those ppl there hor really NBTD. they will come in to the meeting room every hour to check on our tea and change for you; either that they will serve us coke. wakakkaz. drink coke during the super hot 45degrees summer of delhi will keep us all awake during the hot afternoons of delhi. nah, we didn capture our requirements in front of taj mahal. we were in the office but the aircond not cold also.

the few days in delhi was great. my first time to india and yea, i want to go back there again. i dont mind the 45degrees. i dont mind the hot weather. and i do enjoy my 4 days there. waking up and going to work at 11.30am malaysian time is not something we can do all the time. wakakaz. incredible india...

...all things good...

...yesterday was bhante's birthday. had dinner with bhante. my first time munching with him and a short ninety minutes dinner was filled with so many things to talk about. amazing. bhante said he never knew i had such good "vocabulary" when it comes to writing. do i? hahaha. mostly learned knowledge!

sometimes i felt that i am quite blessed; my life is filled with so many challenges and so many exciting things happening and that is what keeps me going all these while. the challenges are great. the deal i got is wonderful. tiring? absolutely but exhilirating. life is really rewarding after all. have learnt alot especially from the three of them; which taught me some very valuable lessons in life. all things good. and i still owe someone some design flyers. darn. gotta get to work soon.

something positive ler today ya. wakakaz...

...ID(10)T...

...wow, its almost july already now and my blog have officially been idle for almost 2 months. shucks.wtf. i need to come back to blogging already. too many stupid things that has been happening all these while. too many ID(10)T people in my life; or rather there is only one and only people codename ID(10)T person. sometimes i wonder how do we encrypt these ID(10)T people and shove them down the longkang. better, exterminate that ID(10)T fella. arghh, lemme start blogging again...

...hawt afternoon hawt gear...

...sunday 3-may-2009 was indeed tiring day. spent the whole day chatting up a storm with a really close buddy and having some farnee conversation with someone. it was also a chance to share some stories and work things out. since the outside sun is dem blardy hot and the weather is fcukingly burning hot; the aircond in the room provides comfort and stress free afternoon for a great chat. but the fcuking streamyx gotta cause problems at the most inconvenient of time and thus some glasses were broken due to the stammering fcuking shit of streamyx nonsense. so, next best thing to do is to be OUT in another aircond room : shopping@digitalmall!

went shopping for digital stuffs at digital mall a heaven for shoppers like me who tends to want everything that is available, especially the tattoo duo 3 sonicgear speaker; which features a 3-way audio system with a dual channel bass amplier for maximum clarity : with its synchronised and enhanced bass reflex design together with the master, bass and treble volume controls and front-firing drives and it also comes with two mic inputs that have individual mic volume controls. and it costs rm160. what the dem blardy fcuk!!! i want one too. i want one too.

the day ended with a long drive for dinner to setapak and enjoyed a whole heartedly unhealthy meal with daniel and ty by the roadside. great day to be out and around...

...ex-coursemates gathering...

...a day of ex-coursemates gathering in kajang. from our bkek - bacelor kejuruteraan elektronik komputer of 20 of chinese ethnic coursemates out of 100+ whom we are all quite close to each other especially during exams time. however most of the time you will see a segregation of two main group - the chinese speaking ones and the english speaking ones. i come from the english speaking group but ended up learning mandarin along the way and mixed well with the chinese speaking ones. of course as usual exams time are the time when you see everyone united and so-call exchange examination tips. wtf! exam tips is what unites us all.

for 4 1/2 years of my degree course with them, i have been through lots of ups and downs most of the time. sometimes it was the worst of the moments; however the best of the moment are not many. so sad. my roommate tengyong - someone who have tolerated me and stayed with me as roommate; stuck in the same room for 3 years. wakakaz. and of course we become the best of friends; nitely chat were great and lots of sharing of experiences together. he is a wonderful roommate whom i guess is able to tolerate my terrible behaviour! wakakaz.

anyway, back to the gathering. maybe i will post up something about my coursemates in another blog. the gathering saw the few of us together; those few who have managed to stuck to each other closely. 3 of us work at the same area - klsentral but hardly ever meet and we drove more than 70++km to meet each other in kajang. what a joke! it was fun to catch up again; seeing them with their families and kids and doing great in their respective job. and seeing yourself still stuck in a low paying job with low paying salary with a terrible colleague to work with and blardy bastard idiots all around. fcuk it! shcuks. change mindset. change mindset. mostly have moved up in the technical line but some have opted for the management role. however i am the only one who went to hr. something totally out of the scope! but i guess i can be good at it given the opportunity. we had a great chat. celebrating choonyan's birthday and having chocolate strawberry cake from secret recipe and eating and eating all thanks to keeleong who have graciously prepared all the mihun goreng and pasta and satay and many more yumy food for us. talked for a few hours and we adjourn back home and went straight home right to my room and hide in there. why? the weather is dem blardy HOT!.

the pictures are old pictures taken so long ago. probably the last gathering we had which was i guess 2 to 3 years ago. time flies...

...will u marry me?...

...when you want to say something, say it LOUD and CLEAR with a tshirt...

...shud be in production soon...

...happy belated birthday MEtz...

...i cant believe it. i totally forgot about MEtz's team birthday. shcuks. spent the whole saturday evening thinking and pondering and trying to figure things out and how to make things work. and then thought of updating and changing the skin for MEtz team since its been a year plus already and maybe a small change of design may be good. after hours of trying and adjusting and playing around with colors and publishing and trying somemore. finally nailed it. a simple maroonish color background. the left side may look abit plain but i think the simplicity of it and the plain color of it makes it look even more elegant and inspirational. because for MEtz team, its all ideas thru illustration...
