consumer Wins!

MUAHAHAHA this is when consumer Wins! ...reminds me of Maxis and Digi.

MAS having their "up to 75% discount" and just a few pages away there's a big red AirAsia advertisement for "99% discount".

Just a month ago I was checking out flight price from MAS and Thai airways to New Delhi. Both airlines we charging about RM1k+- one way excluding tax. I was "I'm totally going to India" when I saw RM509 one way excluding tax. That's for MAS, ...sad that AirAsia don't fly to India....YET.

Hard part for all my trips is actually getting people to tag along.

No one seem to be adventures enough.. at least the girls. Mommy and daddy dearest won’t like it if I backpack alone with a guy....though I know I'll be the MAN and he the woman... HAHAHAHAHHA

Anyway, any lady/ies out there willing to travel with another total female stranger to anywhere? I'm up for;

India. Delhi to Agra to Jahpur.
Vietnam . Hanoi to HaLong Bay to Sapa.
Indonesia. Bali or Yogyakarta.
Thailand and Laos. Chiang Mai, then take a boat (illegal or not illegal) over to Laos!

Mystical Steppers

I just came back from watching Mystical Steppers : Along The Silk Road. Honestly, cultural shock. I didn't know XinJiang province in China is influenced by so many cultures!

The music reminded me of Indian and Chinese tribes music. The costumes were BEAUTIFUL! The dances were Arabic, Turkish, Indian, .... so many. Overall the performance was sad to say below average. I loved the costumes and the culture. But the chorography, dancers and music wasn't impressive.

I did like one of the song of a particular performance that was performed by a vocal teacher with a string musical instrument, looked like a much longer version of the banjo. Was disappointed because there weren't any merchandise at the venue. I would have gotten the guy's CD.

Aladdin Restaurant 's bosses sucks

Aladdin Restaurant's bosses sucks! Don't insult a food blogger mad in your restaurant!

Anyway, to a happier topic. I got come pictures from my company's New Year dinner.

The big bosses and managers dancing to Madonna's material girl.


A really nice picture of the dinner table and table ware.


The EMIT fighters! We had fun performing though we didn't with best performance.


This is everyone including the sick and behind the scene. Good job all! really appreciate your dedication and determination!

PCs mods

I'm hunting for a new computer.....


























But... hehehe I think I'll just look for a more "normal" computer.

2007 resolutions

Yeah so.. I'm in crappy mood. But can't blame me. I was looking forward to the 3 day weekend this week, but sad to say it's all FAIL.COM. Is it? IS!

Ok whatever. So my negative blackish aura moody me got me thinking, what am I going to do the rest of my life?!

Time really flies. It's been 2 years and a month since I have started earning my own bucks. So I think I have only accomplished earning bucks. ...sad. I have no idea what to do next. I have no direction. At least not yet. When studying, all I wanted was a first class honors degree. Now? A Degree doesn't even matter anymore. Honestly, a paper is your key to an interview. After that it's all up to the shit you can handle.

Working is a thousand times more complex. I think the only reason I want to take up Masters and study again is to escape the war at work. I'm such a chicken. How long can I avoid work?

It's already the 20th day of 2007, and I have no resolutions yet. So, here goes.
1# Loose fat! Maintain weight. Got to cut off the snacking!!!
If anyone commented that you are too skinny, don't start whacking everything into your mouth. Firstly, you know your body well. If you need to put on more weight do it the right way in eating healthy and exercising.

2# Start planning for my move to my new home.
Still not sure when I'll be moving but never too early to start planning. My room is going to be my sanctuary! Got to start to work on an art piece to hang on the wall. Need color schemes, layouts and start saving $$$! I already know how much my dream computer table and chair will cost me…. Fringing RM2k++ !… I wonder if I’m really going to buy it.

3# Try to get "THAT".
It will most probably go to him. My chances are low. But I'm going to try anyway. I know I'm good enough. I have got what it takes. But sometimes factor matters. After all, I'm still just the new girl.

4# Start dancing again.
No matter what, I don't think I can just drop dancing like that. Dancing is my passion. It's etch into my soul. I need it to be happy. No idea what dance to take up this time though. Any idea where I can learn Korean\Japanese\Chinese traditional dances?

5# Get a new carcomputer\mobile phone\camera.
I want a new something! Itchy hands. I want to buy something expensive for myself. You are of course welcome to do that to! LOL ;p Maybe a new cam. I really don't like my current cam.

6# Control my temper\mood.
I have been ...rude, insensitive, ignorant... and also very demanding. Need to be a little nicer to certain people.

7# xxx
Last but not least, this is something I need to do for myself because it's not just going to drop on my bed one fine day when I need one. And yes mom, I know I'm getting older so no need comment banyak banyak ok.

missing laptop charger

So sad mad la.

1. Why do I have to work during the holidays?
2. Why does my boss ring me at 7am in the morning?...on a holiday! Yes, I get the Friday off if Saturday is a public holiday.
3. Why do you take my laptop when I said NO?!
4. OK fine take the laptop. But why is the laptop charger missing?!

5. Why do you lie when I asked you to return the charger? It's YOUR PROBLEM in the first place because you kept my charger. You expect me to believe you when you say "The charger in the office" when you told me "The charger is with me" earlier? Even if it's in the office, why can't you tell me the location of it?!

Honestly, F you. I was being too nice when you took the laptop. You return it late and a charger missing. I would have driven to your place to get it if I had a CAR. But NO, you freaking gave a sooooo sooo lame excuse when I ask for you to return it. Come one man, it's a 10 minutes drive and YOU OWE ME THAT! It was YOUR FAULT that you didn't return the charger. And you think I like working on my day off ah? You think I work for fun ah? BLOODY HELL, BOSS IS ON MY ASS OK! How can I work from home and get work done with a dead laptop?!

You know what gave you off? How can you not know where you placed the charger in the office? I bet the charger is with you but you are just too much of an ASS to give it to me. I hate it when I have to go back to the office on a holiday by public transport just to get a laptop charger when it's not even my mistake in the first place. @SS!!!!!

I know it's just a small thing... I would have forget it if you said sorry or something. You just welcome yourself into my negative zone when you lied.

6. Boss hinted that he is going to give me a wake up call again tomorrow. ARGHHHH

Cisco Networkers Solutions Forum 2007

wOOt!

I will be out of the office tomorrow to attend the Cisco Networkers Solutions Forum 2007! I'm really looking forward to this as this will be my first networkers forum. I don't know what to aspect from this but I hope I get to experience new stuff as a *ahem* networker. And of course, meet new people.

I wonder if I'll bang into old friends and my lecturer... Say hi if you see me!

I wish I am wrong

I wonder if my predictions are right. I guess I will only know after the LAN data network audit in April that my team will be having. I just hope my predictions are wrong.

I don't know what I will do if I'm right.

This is one of the times when I wish I'm wrong. But with all is going on, with all the assignments, I just feel that it might just happen. My recent one on one with my boss didn't turn out too well. Even worst.

I will only have 4 months. Shit. If not I might have to wait for maybe another 2 years!

*cries* ...I think it would be hell for me if it really does happen!!!!!! ...Maybe I'll just run away when it happens. I'll just study.

jab jab punch

*sign* We didn't win best performance. Boo hoo. But it's ok. We tried our best and gave it our all. Made some funny friends along the way, exercised along the way (HAHAHA), and most important... we had great fun. But personally I think we still could have got best or maybe second best performance. The team did great! The winners actually had an advantage over the rest... but whatever lah.

My limbs are aching right now, but not from the performance, but from the "after party" session at Passion. Music is actually better now.. or is it just me? Anyway I found one one of the new hires from the server team can dance social dance quite well. Social dance as in like cha cha, or salsa or the ballroom type of dance. Usually guys I know will just learn steps and memorize, but this guy can actually lead. No bad. Plus he is tall, so it was easy for me to turn when he turns me. Reminds me of the times when I was dancing with James. James was a retired ballroom dancer, yups he is 60 maybe?... but a good leader is only what a girl needs in social dancing. I got to drag this new guy to latin clubs one of these days! Just too bad he's not my type... HAHAHA

Mortal Combat

I think by the end of Saturday night I will be so sick of the Mortal Combat Destiny this song that I will punch someone for it...LOL!

A team was formed on Monday to perform "don't know what yet" to perform on my company's New Year dinner this coming Saturday. 5 days to figure some 10 minutes performance that will win us Best Performance of the night beating the group of managers, and 2 other teams.

In 5 days? No professionals, only IT geeks. Sounds almost impossible. But... I want to make sure that my team wins!

I lead the bunch of winners through some body combat moves today. My plan is to incorporate some hip hop, freestyle and body combat movements together to form a dance performance.

One thing really hard is to actually choreograph the whole performance though the song is only 3.42 minutes long! I'm going to add some goofy act in front with a Street Fighter "Ah booo kuinnn" song and the Kung Foo Fighting song by Kool And The Gang.

I hope everything works as planned.

Mastering Money Matters

Wah sehhhh! I went to the Start Education Fair today in KL Convention Center and made did some survey for Masters.

I went to the APIIT booth, (now called the UCTI) and bumb around. Saw a few familiar faces. Collected some of the Master courses info and asked a very important question. ("I graduated from here, do I get a discount if I take Masters here?") It's 10% off my Masters if I pay in full or 10% off my last installment. 40k if I pay one shot... WHERE DO I FIND THE MONEY?

I think local unis are better options for me. General MBA in UTAR is only about 17k.

How do I know where to go? If I would pay 40K for APIIT, I might as well go to Nottingham. Nottingham in Bangi of course. Unless someone is rich enough to sponsor me to UK! WEE!

And you know hor, if where you get\study your Masters doesn't matter to you, it does matter to the people or future employers who will see that uni logo on your Masters cert, it REALLY matters.

But horrrr ... a lot to think about man. I can't go for something just because it's cheap. I need to think of my work and schedules also man. And location. ARGHHH I think I will need to save another year before I start deciding. Since everything is on me now and not my parents, I really need figure how to make time to study and continue working. I think I'll die if I study fulltime... but then I think I'll die too if I study part-time.

One part time course I won't mind taking is the Certificate In Baking offered by the Malaysian Institute of Baking. Although it's cheaper than Taylor's International Certification in Patisserie, I might just go for the one in Taylors. Taylors have smaller classes. And MIB's baking isn't really that superb. They had bakers baking cookies, muffins, pies and bread for tasting today.

Lion's life cycle

LOL!

Before marriage.


After marriage.


After life.

What kids will do for the camera

Ahhhh I finally got some more interesting pictures taken during my birthday party. I'll let the picture do all most of the talking


Poor me... my face in the yummy chocolate walnut cake :~( I have no idea what happen to the section of the cake where my face was in.. I think someone ate it!


HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHHA OMG! I can't believe we did that for the camera! We weren't drunk at all. I didn't even drink!


Fei lei ahhhhhh! HAHAHAHAHA the angle the picture was taken really looked like Jin is grabbing my boobs! Dave don't get jelous yah, you can always grow boobs too LOL!


Gossshhh don't do this in public. Get a room!


Ohhh and I wonder what just happen?

I didn't fare well

I found my resolution for 2006. I don't think I did quite well last year....

#1.Talk only when needed\try harder to shut up.
Hahaha I think I'll never ever going keep my mouth shut. It's not good keeping too many crap in my head. Totally failed on this.

#2 Keep out of 'dangers' way.
I was are referring to office politics. One thing I learnt that one can not avoid office politics. Even you choose now to play along, some how you will be dragged down in the same ship, or you will be the "rotten apple" that everyone is talking about. "Ignorance is bliss" do not apply to this situation. Sucks.

#3 Maintain current weight, start an exercise routine and stick to it, and stop eating all side excessive eating!
HAHAHAHAHAHA... totally failed. I quit gym. I have not been exercising at all. And the food... well I'm still a sweet tooth!

#4 Do something to improve my finance status.
Er, I got a credit card that brought hell when paying my bills. Wrong move. I didn't manage to save much. *sign* Did nothing on the side for extra income. I think I have to start soon. But then again, I have no idea what I want to do.

#5 Put myself first before anyone.
I did put myself first most of the time. But I don't think this will work in the long run. Sometimes I don't even know if I'm really happy when I think about myself first.

#6 Get a new job!
Ohhh I got 2 new jobs! Job hunting gave me a headache in 2006. I moved to a vendor company for a support role and only after month, I moved out. I had a few good offers from different big companies at that same time. It was a really difficult decision for me at that time. I didn't know what was best. But life is all about risk, decision and maybe regrets.

Eve of 2007

Happy New 2007!

I just realized that I have not set any resolution for this year yet. I better think of my mini goals for this year soon. Anyway, yesterday dinner was really fun! But so Boo Boo that two of my "brader" couldn't make it.

Dave bought this steamboat and sizzling non stick electric thing just got dinner. Good investment. We can have this in Genting next time! Me and Jin did the meat marinating. Pork with marmite, chicken with ginger sauce and black pepper beef which was a total BOMB! *Slurp*

HAHAHAHA I love this pic!


Everyone was slowww after dinner. Too full. So some exercising was good. We played twister. HAHAHA.. what kamasutra position is this? The game really takes up a lot of energy man, but very fun!

We needed a little rest and to warm up.. so we changed games. MUAHAHAH

Losers take the shot.

Happy new year at mid night and half fell asleep. ....aiyor. But all was good because no one was too drunk.

The dog did tho.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
