Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas! I know this is a bit late but better late than never right?;)

Went for dim sum in the morning in Oakland and spent almost half a day there sitting, drinking tea and eating lots and lots of food! Well to me it's more about having a day off rather than enjoying Christmas day itself. So I didn't really think too much about planning a party or whatever, it's all about having a day off. After stuffing ourselves with food, we went home and I jumped back into bad and took a power nap which lasted about 2 hours. haha Super power nap! Well you see I was playing AOE3 the day before till around 4am and woke up pretty early, that's why the super nap came into the picture. I felt really good after some sleep and prepared myself again for some more food! We didn't have a specific restaurant in mind so we were kinda "shopping" for one that's available for the evening. We ended up going to the good old bobo's in the marina district for some fantastic steak and wine. So yummy as usual.

More AOE3 after dinner.......i'm such a pig..hehe oink oink..

Ok Merry Christmas again!!

Isa

Had so much fun with E and B dining out on Saturday over @ Isa. We should do this more often and let's get something more exotic next time, perhaps chicken feet ala Hungarian style? =)

A Tough Tough World

It's weird to be blogging from the office but then, what can I do when it's time to go but I'm still sitting here, right? So I decided to snoop and see what's going with my deserted blog. Well, it's still here. I've been procrastinating lately I admit.

It's the time of the year again!! Wuuuhuuuu Halloween! Personally I have two parties that I'm going to attend but you guys know what, I have no costume. hahaha I'm such a procrastinator. LOL

Work is still the same but I'm bombarded with bigger workload. Well, to have a job during tough economy like now, I'm considered lucky. The unemployment rate is escalating and everyone is struggling with whatever mess that is going on.

A dude came into my office and stole some stuff from VP. A total random guy. How did he pass the security? Go figure.....

Ciao..

My Mate

The one and only dude I'm sleeping with :P

I heart Phantom of the Opera and they are in San Francisco! :D

I've seen this play in London but I think I'm ready to see it again. An amazing love story that you won't forget for the rest of your life. Maybe he still lives in that huge opera house in Paris? Well, his legend definitely lives on.

New Style

Not Cool, Totally Not Cool, Meme

After 3 glasses of red wine, I'm now sitting on the couch, very much sober, not able to fall asleep. WTF is wrong with me???

So I was thinking maybe it's about time to update my blog again.

I came back from a trip to Hong Kong on Tuesday night and before I was able to switch back to Cali timezone, I had to work the next day. Oh man, wasn't easy. My co-workers said I was looking really pale and yes, I was feeling awful. In addition to not being able to eat even a little piece of bread, I had this weird feeling in my tummy. Felt like I was going to puke anytime soon and seriously, I had chosen a candidate to puke on. LOL like wtf right? haha Yea it's this someone who "harassed" me in the office! I'm referring to this incident which happened about three weeks ago in my freaking office. My boss was out for a whole week and this mr.shit came into my room (well my office is weird because I'm sitting in an office/room with few others within the office itself) and he started talking to my other co-workers (two guys). OK, bear in mind I was the only female in the room. Mr.Shit (I'm just going to refer him as that and he's one of the top guns in the company) sprung in and the moment he started talking, he TOTALLY made my day with his story about "BJ" and sex. TOTALLY. To make me feel "better', he even gave me a weird look after that. NICE. Yay!!! I totally got sexually harassed, bright daylight, and in my office!! Cool.

Actually NOT COOL at all!!! Damn it!!! I didn't realize I got sexually harassed until I spoke about this to another female colleague. I thought I was overly sensitive but then wtf! Someone talking about dirty shit in the office and being loud about it, that person must be a sicko or he's just a damn retard! I had always been neutral with mr.Shit despite the fact that he's known to be a retard. Yea, he has proven himself. A COMPLETE RETARD as well as a sexually deprived man.

Ok on a brighter note, I've now moved to a new desk. I told my boss about this and she was completely sympathetic and she offered that we should move together to a different place in the office. So, now, I have a new cubicle and sitting closer to my boss. Very cool. ;) But before this drama ends, there was another drama which followed. Mr.Shit wasn't keen on the idea of us moving,so, he was being a drama king the day we announced that we were gonna move. But my smart boss, yay, had already been given the permission to move by my this particular top management boss, so shut the f up. COOL.
Pervert!!!

It's not easy being a female and working with whole bunch of dudes. Not easy at all. I shall not dwell on this matter and let's move on. Maybe someone from my office is snooping my blog. hehe

The weekend is coming, such a relief. Everything is looking good once again, work is smooth sailing and life is peachy. Our annual pay review is coming too, so, that's an extra bonus to the effort I've been pouring. My boss is a super cool lady, that's definitely a big plus. Hope she'll say good things about me. ;) Get big ang pow (chinese red packet) end of the year. *Dreaming*.

Maybe I should doze off now. Talk to you guys soon! =)

Happy News!

Congratulations to Balazs and Eszter on their engagement!!! They are the best couple on earth! =)

And she also got her favorite Tiffany ring,so, Balazs just got an additional 10 bonus points added for "the most eligible husband to be" contest! The prize of the contest is of course a date of a lifetime with the beautiful, Eszter =)

CONGRATULATIONS once again

BTW, the image above is the rock my of dream :P *hint*

Updates

Nothing too exciting worth mentioning.

Job's good, life's good....

Going to HK end of the month...old news..

Updates!

Dark Knight-Cool, 4 and 1/2 stars out of 5. Some illogical and unexplained scenes. Heath Ledger's performance was really extraordinary though, shedding his usual good looking image to portray schizophrenic Joker. Christian Bale, well, he's alright. Not my type definitely. LOL.

Went out to Marriott for drinks after movie. Still don't get why SF has 2am curfew, dammit.

Friday @ work was kinda relaxing. No one was really working, more like getting coffee and mingling day. I was working on a new project though, but to hell with it, it's Friday!

It's been almost a month now with this new company, not bad at all. But no good looking guys tho, so that's kinda like a bummer. =P My BIG boss annoys me a lot though but in a way, he's really smart. I'm learning from him, sometimes. Strange.

I'm not even thinking when I'm writing this, please pardon my lack of enthusiasm.

Yay to Weekend, Almost

Blogging from office...toot..:P

My Kinda Dude

So, what are the qualities I look for in a man. Ahem, got this question today from someone.

Behold! My secrets shall now be revealed!

This is totally personal, TOTALLY.

Well to me, I have a thing for wise man. Yea, guys who like to boast, not exactly but something like that. hahaha...no, i was just kidding. Oh please, ego maniacs should all be burnt to hell. I like intellectual guys. Guys who can carry himself well no matter in what situation, sorta like a mentor to everyone. I think I kinda like older guys,please, not your grandpa. Someone who is at least 10 years older than me. (no, gary doesn't read my blog, so whatever)Maybe I'm missing a father figure in my life. LOL i dunno seriously! Maybe I am, no, my dad doesn't read my blog either.

I know this is kinda inappropriate to say but if i'm ever given a chance to date again, i think i wanna date an older gentleman. hehe So now, have you had enough of my absurdity?

Signing off....

Give me some Disco Lights

Hola!

Been two weeks now, almost. So far so good, there's this rumor that my company is the best place to work in the bay area haha. But I have my reservations. Nowhere is perfect.

Ok, let's travel back in time and see what has happened. The first week at work was pretty much just learning names of my colleagues, learning the operations, decorating my cubicle, going for lunch with colleagues and get to know my work area aka hunt for good lunch hangouts. My manager invited me over for lunch with a couple of affiliates and I had the opportunity to experience Salt House, right by Golden Gate University. Errr, it was ok. Nothing spectacular. But I did order a freaking $15 sandwich for lunch! :p I didn't have to pay a dime. More affiliates please!!!!

One of the best things with my company is the kitchen. It's always filled with snacks and drinks. I even saw a freaking miniature Heineken keg! I still haven't had the chance to experience the coffee machine which looks like something that came out of the movie Terminator. It got too many buttons and stuff you can poke and pick. Maybe I'm just ignorant.

My colleagues are really cool but there's this minority group of people who refuses to make any eye contact, simply anti-social. I don't mind that because this group of ppl has already been labeled as stuck up rejected group. Sucks for them!I noticed that an asian girl puts on at least 50 yards of make up on her face and everyday, she puts on clothes that are meant for going to clubs at night. Let's not mention any names, we are adults. :P

So let's go back to kitchen. I'm spoiled with choices of unhealthy break tidbits everyday thus why my weight keeps on ballooning. I had famous amos cookies this afternoon and also chocolate raisins for snacks, on top of what I had for lunch.
My manager is constantly eating and grabbing stuff from the kitchen. She invited me to one of her "smoking sessions" downstairs, so, I had a good bonding time + some second hand smoke to add to the conversation. Oh, I got invited to so many happy hours already! Imagine, at least three happy hours in a week!! But I wanted to play it safe this month (still under probation), so, I politely declined. We got a party tomorrow though, it's an official office party! yipppeee!! My colleagues are such hardcore party animals! We going to have sake sangria, beers and some hawaiian food.

Yay to parties!!

Re: Corporate Slave

Credit: Found this on google image, thanks!

Nicole has got an interesting post up on being a corporate slave. For those who are on the same boat, I guess we can pretty much relay to this. However, every company is different,so,there bound to be some differences.

So back to the question, how exactly do I "kill" my time at work? Geeez, I'm actually jeopardizing my career to describe it here, you never know, maybe my manager is reading this. haha Anyway, for the sake of good faith, I'm going to reveal my secrets.

Some of the regular things that I do during non-rush hour at work:

Walk really slowly to the restroom and then spend maybe 10 minutes there, take slow steps back to cubicle, whole trip is approximately 15 minutes :P, do this at least 5 times a day haha

To make myself look better at work, pretend to be busy, the keyword is "RESEARCH"..when being questioned, I'M DOING MY RESEARCH! But seriously, I'm just on social networking sites

Lunch, this one is tricky,usually we only get 1 hour for lunch, so I prefer to go for lunch around 2pm, when I return to the office, it's 3pm+, yippeee, go online, surf for another 1 hour+ and you're gone! Usually people do not suspect anything after 3pm because they themselves are surfing online

Get water! My favorite of all. Spend at least 5 minutes getting water and bonding time! Chat with colleagues and spend another extra 5 minutes! Whoooooohooo

Since I have never had a printer really close to my work area, getting printouts are usually a short distance trip, so, start printing!!!!! Oh, what about helping others to get their printouts too haha

Of course I don't do these stuff frequently, ONLY, ok, only during times when there's not much to do in the office. Pretending to be busy is like the hardest thing on earth! But I try to kill my time by doing the things I mentioned. Getting a cup of coffee is a good reason to "pretend" to be busy. Your manager or office will understand that you need the caffeine. ;)

I don't feel it's too difficult spending 9-5 at work. I think it's kind of good to get out of your house, just pretend you are working on your homework each time and get paid. Hey, you get to mingle with your colleagues too, so those are like your friends, only that they are from a working place not school.

I like the getting paid part the most though. =P

Ciao!

Sticks and Stones can't Hurt Me

I need something else in life. I have wasted much of my time doing nothing at all. It's time to grow up and set some goals.

I still have 6 mths to the end of the year. So my objectives are:

- Better my skills in online marketing.
- Go hiking and camping at least for another two times.
- Call friends whom I have not been in touch for a long time.
- Save money for my annual trip.
- Bake more goodies for G-Man.
- Eat healthily.
- Stop getting sick!
- Network and social with new friends.
- Be a more responsible daughter, call mom more often.
- Work harder and focus. Show some positive results at work.

I think there are gaps in my life which can be filled with more encouraging details. I should go to Border's tonight and get some books to begin with.

Love,

Amy

Dark Gloomy Depressing Days

I'm starting a new job end of this month with a company in the financial district, so, I had to go for their occupational urinal test, to test whether I'm a druggie or not. They arranged me to go to this test center close to Disney store. I walked past Disney Store and saw some cute 'Oswald" pictures selling on the shelves. Upon closer look, it's selling for 3 bucks! So what's going on?! Marked down price cannot be $3! Yup, Disney Stores in San Francisco are closing down soon, permanently. It brought me a huge shock as well as disappointment. The stores are doing so miserably that they gotta close down now. A lot of shops in downtown San Francisco had already shut their doors forever. Even though we got stores like De Beers and new Prada corner establishment opening up, it's simply not enough to accommodate the empty nests in downtown.

My Home, My Kampung

Back in the days of growing up in Malaysia, I was really proud knowing that my country had the tallest building in the world, we're the first country to implement the RFID technology (smart chip for passport/ID), we're the organizer of F1 races, we're known for our exotic beaches and throngs of new modern malls. However, things have taken a downturn now. Crime rates are going up, people are complaining of price hikes, demonstrations that ruin the reputation of a safe country, cases of corruptions with the government, it's deeply saddening.

I am happy that I have lived through the glorious days of my country yet at the same time, I am sad because the spark has now gone.

Our Bapa Pembangunan has since retired but still fighting a constant battle with policies set by the current government, injustice, and UMNO.

Even though I'm physically not in Malaysia, my heart is still very much with the country. Please, no more destructions to this once beautiful and safe country I fondly remember as home.



"Sudah lebih tujuh tahun saya meninggalkan kampung halaman, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, negara yang penuh dengan keindahan dan keidaman yang amat dicintai. Setiap masa apabila nama Malaysia disebut, saya berasa amat banggga kerana Malaysia mempunyai bangunan yang tertinggi di dunia, merupakan negara yang pertama menggunakan teknologi RFID, hos kepada F1 dan berbagai-bagai keistimewaan yang sangat didengki oleh rakyat seluruh dunia. Tetapi malang sudah melanda, negara yang sebegini bahagia tidak bahagia lagi. Masalah-masalah sosial, kerajaan yang tidak "bersih", rakyat tidak menyokong UMNO, ekonomi tidak stabil merupakan punca-punca yang memusnahkan Malaysia."

Okay guys, it took me a while to compose that. Geezz, I didn't know I was this bad. I wanted to compose a better one but my brain has blocked out most of the nicer words. hahaha How did I do it before? Maybe it's time to look back once again.

Malaysia boleh!

Conspiracy with Rising Gas Prices?

People talk about it. You talk about it. Market, on the streets, malls, office, you have probably heard this common topic 5 million times. So what the hell am I talking about?




GAS PRICE!!!!



We had an almost empty tank few days ago, so, we went to the gas station to fill it up. Normally we would pay around $80 for a full tank and that amount itself is crazy enough for a miser like me. Beep, the sound of the gas machine when the tank's filled up. WHOA! WHAT THE F &*(@EN(&@()UE( (BIRDS, BEES AND INSECTS! HOLY!) $103.++! Damn it, my heart almost skipped a beat. Lord, three digits for gas! I don't take 3 digits for an answer. Hell no. So what should I do? Like freaking pour rain water into the gas tank?

High gas prices have in fact immobilized a lot of people and the only way to survive without having to pay hefty gas price would be, walking. But how far and for how long? Bay area has pretty excellent public transportation but it's definitely not as well built comparing to most European countries. We are doomed. Not by nature or by God, but by the doings of us, normal citizens who have neglected a lot of things in the past and greedy human beings that are positioned so mighty high in the society.

Food prices are up too. We have a habit of dining out at least thrice a week but we have to cut that now. With diners like us cutting on dining out, restaurants lose business. Sooner or later, more and more people would do the same and restaurants start going bust and disappearing one by one. Nightmare.

Maybe I should start doing some agricultural work in the backyard, plant some potatoes and tomatoes. Make soup everyday and die of malnutrition one day. Ok, I've exaggerated. But this will happen someday if prices don't go down. I'm sure Hollywood probably has a movie in the making adopting this idea, titled " WE ARE SO F-CKED UP".
Please pardon my language.

Hopefully I can survive another $100+ tank. God, my heart is weak, my bank account is weaker. Please, do something about this!!!!!!

Angry Rhino Experiencing Constipation

So we went to SF zoo today. Had an awesome time checking out the animals (most don't really belong to US). It's really strange that we didn't find any California wild animals or North American this/that. Almost all the animals were either imported from Africa or Australia.

Anyway, we were extremely lucky because the animals weren't sleeping but out playing actively. I've posted a video of this rhino by himself in his "penthouse". He was trying to run down the door to the indoor area but too bad, the zoo authority must have predicted his destructive or you can call it his rude behavior (he doesn't have a habit of knocking on the door) that a thick metal bar was built to prevent damages. Look closely and you can see some signs of his "knocking", the door has some big holes on it. I didn't capture this on a video, so just use your imagination a little. A rhino, some holes and some freaked out zoo keepers! :P

I'm Bored

I don't get it. Guys are losers. Seriously. They don't want to do anything else but play computer games, watch stock trading news (that's for older male species), bbq, talk about cars, drink beers, omigod, oh so typical! So many beautiful things are out there waiting to be explored and discovered. I don't mind sitting at home and just chilling out but this has becoming a chore! It's like every weekend is meant for the same type of activities...duh...and worst of all, when you try to suggest doing something, nothing is attractive enough! Down to it all, you know who I'm talking about right?

Life is not so perfect. I'm aware of this. But I guess we can spice it up a little bit and make it more interesting? I'm in my mid 20s but I'm already feeling like a 65 year old retiree, waiting for my weekly pension check and going to the supermarket to cash it or something. Sigh.......is there even one decent guy who wants to go out and have fun?

What has this world become.....

Dream On

I've lost it all....all gone and flushed down the drain...damn..

I'VE STOPPED SHOPPING ONLINE! Me!Me! I'm the queen of online shopping! I was...

Remembering the days when I was in UK, buying groceries off ASDA every week, the most topping 100 pounds! Now, I'm different...I don't even look at LV bags..they are so overpriced and so commercialized...Tsk tsk tsk LVMH....I have so many bags collecting thick layer of dust, waiting to go yellow or being ripped off by some insects...brrrrrrr.....

At one point of my life, I spent $2000 a day buying handbags...hahahaha geeezzz but I wish to retaliate though..it was moi birthday and I had the urge to be a spendthrift...and I didn't need much money to survive...solely because I wasn't earning my own bucks and money was quite easy!It's different now, haha my meager salary isn't enough for me to do shit..and I've aged...to a different person...I wish I could turn back time but wait, if I could do that, it only meant one thing, I won't be able to wake up from my fantasy right? I'd waste my life, waste my youth buying unnecessary things which wud possibly end up in the trash can...I'm a bad bad child...

I just saw a watch that I set my heart and soul on..but duh, $10,2000! Seriously unnecessary...let me find a $120 watch instead...haha

It's 2am, almost..I'm babbling..time to dream...to a far far away land...

Life Up till this Second

It's been a while since my last post. Been polishing my hiking skills for the past few weeks and went for fun camping trips with a couple of friends. The last camping trip I had was about two years ago with Odie. It's painful to reminiscence the past with my beautiful golden retriever especially the memories of keeping him in the tent because he was constantly wagging his tail close to the fire, frolicking on the beach and him always eating seaweeds, Odie pooping all over the place and attempted to savor a bit of horse dung. The memories are still pretty fresh and will stay intact in my heart.

Work wise, after three months of being an early bird, I've decided to quit my current job and move on to something else or perhaps another job that can shape me to a different direction. I'm sending my resume out and been getting some responses, even made a new friend with one of the interviewers of a company. Too bad they are too far away from the city, if not, I would have put in a little bit more of my positive energy. One hour drive is just too crazy!! Anyhow, a new Irish friend added to my list. ;) Definitely going out for a beer or two hehe

Been thinking of my old friends lately especially YOU, YOU and YOU. You know who you are. =) Oh, congratulations to Kim on her engagement to Kelvin! The most perfect couple on earth! I did shed some tears when I heard of her announcement of such joyous occasion. Happy happy tears though.

So that's it...until next time, (maybe I'll post some pictures of camping or smthg)

Adios!

Leona Lewis

I have always been a fanatic of music from across the Atlantic ocean. One of my recent favorites would have to be Leona Lewis. Perhaps you have heard of her "Mariah Carey" like voice on the airwaves. Her beautiful tracks such as "Yesterday" and "Bleeding love" are simply too amazing. Hope she can make it big in the US.

As much as I adore Mariah (it started ever since her Emotions days), I have to say that her new image is a spitting resemblance of a white trash. Sorry my idol or perhaps ex-idol. I just hate how trashy she looks nowadays. What has happened to diva Mariah? She was so stunning and sweet back then. But now she has resorted to tiny weeny bikini that can't even cover her massive silicone cantaloupes. This is so sad.

Anyway, we got Leona Lewis now. A British singer who certainly has the "X Factor" to keep us listening.

Stinson Beach

It's a Wonderful World

I have a new mission. I need to lose 5lbs!!! Gee, didn't even realize I've put on so much weight. Went for a hiking trip last Saturday and spent more than 5 hours burning calories around Mt.Tamalpais. Haven't been connecting with the nature for a while, so, it was a really pleasant experience walking, running as well as frolicking on Stinson Beach. Brawny college hunks and some scrawny old men were seen on the beach, some spying on other bikini clad girls and some just chilling out on that warm sunny day.Me? A hiker wearing too much clothes looking all strange. After walking down the hill for 2 hours, we stayed at the beach for 20 minutes to pile on power bars and some delicious snacks.

Poor G-man had to carry MY Mountainsmith backpack while lurking 4 bottles of water and one bottle of Gatorade. Dang! I'm sure he shed more weight than me!

So we went up the hill back to the original point of our hike. It took us 2 dreadful hours and at one point, we had to hike on a pebbly and rocky path. There were no trees and the sun was shining on us with no sympathy. I almost fainted in agony but I was trying to put my steps together, one by one step of uphill climb and eventually arriving at a small bridge with plenty of big trees to act as shade. Thank God!
It was smooth sailing after that.

It has definitely been a worthwhile experience since I haven't been doing this for a while. I'm guessing we are going for a camping and hiking trip next month. Not forgetting Vegas baby! Till then, it's just going to be some same old daily BS.

Sitting Alone..........

It's so cold tonight. I'm seated outside the entrance of Golden Gate University. Throng of students emerging but none is G-man. It sucks to wait. It really does. People are looking at me like I'm some kind of weirdo. Maybe it's just me, haha I'm thinking too much. The streets are still busy with buses and sometimes loud ass cars passing by.

Tick tock tick tock, still waiting......Another group of students pushing the glass door of GGU...hmmm....

People are busy talking, talking nonsense mostly, two students were talking about some linear regression and one said he got negative for it..haha not sure what they were talking about but it's not interesting enough for me to eavesdrop...

Three guys just came out, walking slowly...haha I'm such a nuisance seriously...I'm just sitting here and watching those people coming out of the University..giving them occasional glare :p

We have agreed to go for Indian tonight. Possibly naan and curry. It's cheap, good tasty food and the whole place stinks..haha i like that...i'm really such a weirdo...

okay i guess he's coming out in any second..i better shut this thing and wait for the king to appear....

Ski Trip 03-07-2008

Being 25.....................

I woke up late this morning.

It's been a month now since I started working. The feeling still has not changed. My energy at work has multiplied and don't think it's going to stop any soon. Every morning, I'm eager to get to work, to mingle with co-workers and to perform my very best. Maybe to exceed expectations. I guess that's why sometimes I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Feeling as if needed to break free! Well, just an outpour of emotion. Or perhaps, another vacation soon?

With work and school going on at the same time, my life is incredibly peachy. Sometimes I try looking back. What have I done in the past? I think I pretty much wasted my school years. hahaha All I did was travel. Did not really try to even be better. I focused more on my traveling stuff than my school dissertation!

I digress. I'm not even sure what I'm talking about now.

Back to school work now. At least, standing at this busy intersection, I try not to hurt myself.

Ciao!

4X4 Expo San Mateo

What if

Was thinking of him again.....dear God, stop it please! After so many years, I always have this mental picture of him in my head....it's funny that I still can't find the reasons why I'm so infatuated with this guy....it's also strange how I have this person in my head but he's been gone for a good number of years now...

Sometimes it makes me feel that I'm being unfaithful to G-man but what the hell, I don't even remember his birthday...just the feeling lingers on....that makes me realize something, describing such an abstract phenomenon can really be frustrating...feeling is feeling..it's something "automatic" and there's no button to turn it off...

This is freaky...God is setting me up for something...

So back to reality, life has been treating me well...I've got a great job, great colleagues (at least those in my department), I've got a great guy, even tho I'm not filthy rich, I'm contented with what I got...so maybe that's why I got this imaginary thing going on right now...

Sometimes I would question myself...what if what if...what if I did not travel across the globe..what if I'm still in KL...what if i'm still single...what if i didnt do this what if i didnt do that....too many what ifs...How nice if there's this machine to help me go back in time or even foresee my future...then there won't be what if..

A Wonderful Journey Together

Been trying to get myself acquainted with all the procedures and workload and so far it's really rewarding! It's funny that people always say usually you get some sort of weekly blues especially on Monday...Actually I don't really dread going to work on Monday as it's most probably the busiest day for me. It's official! I'm going to declare my love for MONDAY!!!! I LOVE MONDAY Ya'll!

Been learning some HTML on my own...this book comes in pretty handy.

Papadum!

Spotted this selling in wholefoods papadum

Great stuff!

My Home, My Childhood

just saw a picture that resembles my home in Malaysia...a question came into my head, is it true that one day, my childhood memory will completely be erased? Argghhhhhhhhhh! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Took a second look at the picture, I still could not differentiate whether that's my home or another person's!!!! Sheeeetttttttttttttttttttt!!!!! Blame in on bad design, yes bad design. =) Every home looks the same now.

Phewww...

Wednesday is just another day

So Wednesday is almost over. It has been another great day at work, mingling with my colleagues while squeezing my brain for some words to add to an article. Try being with colleagues which you don't get along, tell me how you feel. This actually happened to me before but I think life is too short for me to actually pay attention.
Cest la vie baby!

I think I been learning a lot for the past few weeks. At work, life hurdles, ups and downs,you name it, I got it. Actually my problem is procrastination. I just need to whoop my ass a little so that I won't be too stressed out about life. It's nice to hear from some old friends once in a while because you can sorta just throw them with the ongoing stuff in your life and they are able to relate this to their own life. I guess everyone taking the center stage or in my case center age now should know how it is to be standing on a thin line trying to figure out which next step to take.

I'm so tired but at the same time, my mind tells me not to stop. I think the only medium that is motivating right now is my mentality. I just don't understand. Sometimes you have a lot of stuff in your life and things are going so well for you, and suddenly you give yourself a full stop. Start asking "what's life", "what's this", "what's that"....bla bla bla...we humans are not meant to feel contented,right?

Missing the times I spent in UK. So carefree, so un-adult-like, time just went by so fast. Wish I was there, once again.

Not sooooo Good....

I had a super nasty experience today. This "someone" was asking me for some suggestions on "something" and being the usual "nice" me actually researched for some tips for his reference. Not only I did not get a polite "thank you" from this person, this guy actually gave me a "big fat slap" on my face. Literally. Just a feeling that struck me during that tense moment.

I shared with him my points but he was sooooo strongly against my two cents that he thought I was some crazy idiotic creature. The fact that the content of his website was only so-so provoked his endless rebuttal that he's actually doing a wonderful job updating it. IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH, I told him. The more the better! But he was quick to show me that he has over 1730 links to his website. I did a quick boolean logic search for amazon and voila, 8 mil! So I made my point.

I suggest he put his ego inside his bag and bring it home. Reconsider. Seriously, as a person who is sincerely offering any help to anyone out there, I have nothing to gain or even lose by saying things I needed to say. My intention was pure and not in one single moment I ever thought of taking advantage or ruining his life. It's just the cold hard fact. Take it or leave it. Be a man. The world does not revolve around you, you one little specimen.

Sunday Roast Pork

Didn't do much on Sunday, except eating. Went for breakfast this morning on West Portal. Enjoy!

All the Best!

A friend just got rejected by two schools for advanced degree. Geez, I dunno what to say but to express my most sincere good luck to him. I think in a way this has to do with the increasing number of people going back to school because the negative impact of the economy is taking its toll on people all over the United States.

Really, just all the best to everyone out there, searching for a job, searching for a school, searching for a lifetime partner, GOOD LUCK! We will survive!

I have two videos that I would like to share with everyone. I'll try uploading the videos tonight...stay tuned!

Happy Sunday...=)

StarFuc*s...

I'm sitting inside starbucks right now, listening to a conversation between two women, for a job interview. The interviewer is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO loud! I think the interviewee is really embarassed. The interviewer is not only loud but she speaks faster than the bullet train. She has this high pitch voice that can wake a giant up from sleep! I think she's a head hunter now....by listening to what she's saying to the other girl. God, no privacy at all! Go and hide somewhere to do this kinda stuff....don't raise your voice in a starbucks! I think I'm leaving this noise polluted starbucks.

Been working for a week now and I'm really enjoying myself. So far, I think I have wonderful colleagues and my manager is so so funny!

I'm so dead tired now. Guess I have to get used to this....I think this is going to be a lifetime thing unless I'm the winner of mega million hefty 280 mil prize!

ciao..

Happy Doggietine's Day!

I want a dog! After seeing all the blogs about dogs, I want a dog!!!!!!

I want my odie back.....yesterday was Valentine's Day and I bought a balloon for Odie...hope he likes it ;) I put it together with the bread that I got from the Italian restaurant...so now Odie has a balloon that says I LOVE YOU and also some food...

I'm out of my mind...

Random thoughts

I just found out that I hate staying home.

Random car noise,tv,music,dogs from next door barking at strangers....it's just so boring!

I seriously need to get out of here before the monster in me starts acting up.

I hate watching tv.....

I hate staying home and watching the clock ticks away.....

RIP to those students who lives were cut short by that one man

I LOVE WORKING

How was your CNY? I've been feeling unwell for the past few days. However, today I'm feeling at my best! I'm sure it has to do with the training I received from my company today. =)

This is the peak flu season and everyone around me is complaining of feeling ill. Gary's dad had to be admitted to the ER because he was coughing non-stop and fever did not subside. Well, that's really bad considering that his dad has high blood pressure and not so young anymore. Glad to see him today feeling much better. Even drove me to the caltrain station! Another good news to add to the books.

So my new job is starting next Tuesday and I'm mainly in charge of the clicks to the website and videos. It's a routine job where I need to do a lot of updates and basically just managing myself. The fun thing is they also have shootings where I get to participate on Saturday and best of all, getting paid for it. :p This is so going to be a fun experience while at the same time, gaining tremendous experience.

Besides work, I'm also applying to schools for MBA and hopefully land on one that will fit my schedule perfectly. Man, it's definitely not easy trying to juggle between school and work. Well, I do hope my hard work will eventually pay.

Nothing much going on as far as relationship or whatsoever. Who wants to listen to that anyways? hehe

I have some imaginary plans right now but won't be disclosing it. Not until something concrete comes up. So keep you guys updated!

Ciao!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Hello everyone! Happy Chinese New Year! Year of the rat will decide on a new president, the future of my career path and also we will be updated with news on the Edison Chen scandal. For those who have been following his news, Gillian just had a press conference to clear the matter up. It's rumored that she's doing it because of threats from sponsors. There's no way anymore for them to deny that those pictures were done using the art of photoshop, so, I think they should just admit it. She did not directly admit her WILLING mistake but she briefly said it was because of the fact that she was young and naive back then. So go figure.

I have no say regarding this but I saw all the pornographic pictures and frankly speaking, I did not enjoy seeing Cecilia's bush and Bobo's skeletal frame. As for Gil, it was quite an eye opening experience seeing her posing like a Japanese AV porn star.

Just go google and search for edison chen scandal. Don't ask me for pictures.

Ciao

Happiness

Am watching this TV program with happiness as the main topic. What is happiness? Some folks interviewed on TV said that happiness means more money. Some said happiness means simply being happy. So, what about you?

I couldn't disagree more on the latter but what about money and happiness?

MONEY=HAPPINESS ???

Can money really buy happiness? Ok so what about when you had a really bad day at work and went for a shopping spree just to cure your unhappiness? And when you had a hard time at home and went for some lavish buffet? So now, you need money to do all those things right? Back to the same question:

Can happiness really be bought by money?

What are my avenues

I'm not sure for how long I'm going to bore all of you with the stories of my interviews...

So last week on Friday I went for yet another interview....1,2,3,4....I'm not too sure how many interviews I been to now...ok anyhow, the interview lasted for about 35minutes..short considering that I been to longer ones...2 hours max! The regional VP was the one sitting with me in the room...surprisingly this time I'm so fed up with interviews that the butterflies in my stomach had flown away...They didnt ask me much questions, just a lot of talking on the role and what I can be expected to be doing..a little on the company, this company does online advertising, instead of the mundane static banner ads/flash ads, this company specializes in video ads..the idea is definitely refreshing and they been around for 7 yrs now developing rather rapidly..they have offices all over the world and the san francisco office has just been operating for ard 1 yr...so don't really see too many ppl or fixtures....i know this is going to be a challenging job as I am required to handle the marketing side of it + all of the administrative duties...pay is not really that grand to be discussed here...so conclusion, i have to call the VP on Thursday as requested by him...I'm not sure if I'm getting this job, HOPE I do cuz this is going to be a great start for me to polish on different skill set..

BTW, VP is donald trump lookalike...hehe...esp the hair part...:P

wondering when is the market is going to pick up again...

till then, take care everyone!

Wazzup for 2008

How's your new year celebration?

Mine wasn't all that great to talk about, just fireworks and plenty of sleep for the first day of a new year. G-man and I been immersing ourselves in computer games lately. This is SO going to be temporary cuz it's always like this. By the way, on the first day of new year, we went to get champagne from safeway and I bought a winning lotto scratch card! Damn, 25 bucks cha-ching! Felt so great for winning money on the first day of new year. This year is going to be another best year of my life!

Due to my lack of sleep, my neck feels so freaking stiff. Adding to that, the storm is pretty bad over this side of the bay. Gosh, even that freaking bbq cover was blown away! Never found. WTF. The pots were damaged with cracks and the yard is so severely ruined. We were out of power for one day and only got it back last night around 9pm. We had no choice but to eat all the ice cream in the freezer and had to cook dinner in the dark. To add to our misery, someone random decided to knock on our door to give us a "power outage" scare! Fu&* jebus.

Another interview update, went to the 2nd interview two days ago. Did the presentation and the exercise given. I think I did ok. So they going to get back to me next week with a decision. Honestly, it's not the job or company that I'm interested with, it's the money. I'm so broke. Shit. Holiday shopping did some damage to my account. This dress, that shoe...i'm so in trouble now.

Ok will post the video of the fireworks next.

Take care and have a wonderful 365 days...opppss...minus 5 days since today is the 5th.

Ciao!
