Life as it is....

Wow! Really?

2011-06-13T20:59:00.001+08:00

Time really flew this time....

It's coming to mid-year June and I really have left this space hanging....

Let's see...

(1) New work place (same boss)
(2) New staff to drive crazy (and vice versa)
(3) Still driving the same old car....
(4) New passion: Diving :)

.... next post will be with picture...

Another one?

2010-01-01T16:14:00.000+08:00

So there goes 2009...

I wonder how many people actually achieved their resolution by the closing of the year... or was it just a show for others to fall awe.

As for me, it never cross my mind to set those up. Why wait for every new year to set a target? Why not now? If you are really into it, just do it.

(hmmm suddenly it sounded like a Nike ad)

./

Woodsball anyone?

2009-12-27T16:27:00.000+08:00

Went back home town for Christmas this year (full grin here), and had the chance to play woodsball again.

Among all the things I was suppose to bring, I forgot the one essential item that would really helped in the game... my boots! I ended playing in sandals. :p

Wild boar hunting

(note: the sandals didn't gave up on me :))

(darn! where did they go?)

(sigh.... i'll just wait here... hopefully no one sees me...)

(opppss... busted!)

As to the question why I have a towel on my head; it's because I was the camera man, and believe me when I say this, even with towel on your head, they'd still shoot you.... although you're not playing.

(Ouch! Sorry Mike :p)

Thanks for the game everyone.. hope to see you soon! :))))

Croak!

2009-08-19T12:39:00.004+08:00

I've been having bad cough, fever and sore throat again lately. Tried a few remedy including visits to the clinics, yet none prevail.

I was at Parkson - 1Borneo last night, coughing my way while shopping shoes for the kids, and noticed that there are shoppers with mask on. My mind went: "Hehehe, try to avoid my cough!"
I didn't realised my cough was so bad that when I paid at the counter for the shoes purchased, 3 other lady shoppers with their mask on was staring at me.

Coughing into my handkerchief, I caught a glimpse of them with their eyes big enough to pop out. They could be thinking: "Ahini! Ahini! Run!!!!". Well, if science is correct and airborne bacterial moves faster than touch; then, you may but you can't hide... hahahaha.

I heard today that if anyone caught coughing in public will be fined (?) ~ (doh!) lucky me :p

I think it's time to change my throat..... croak!

Gloomy

2009-07-21T12:27:00.004+08:00

I've been wondering lately (again!), how much would one sacrifice to make a home for his family. I'd not mind to have a simple life style, yet would still dream of a luxury one (don't we all?)... :p

Most of the time I tend to work over the norm to ensure that there's still room for others to catch up. Yet by the time I'm done, it's never enough for me (.. is it called unsatisfying greed?). The worst part is, when I'm at home I tend to expect too much from my family (poor them), and when they can't meet up to it, I'd go berserk.

By nightfall before sleep, things will start to fall into place again, I'd be me again, waiting for dawn to break, and all the chaos will break loose again.

I need a long isolated vacation...

Poem of a Slave Driver

2009-07-21T12:07:00.003+08:00

It's raining again
I feel so in vain
With my bloated head in pain
Why do I have to wake up today?
Can't you see in bed I want to stay?
Begone, if you may

Crisp can be heard outside the window
There are times I'm glad it's rain not snow
But did it really show?
Cool, comfort, sleep, killing the past
Dream on if I must
To these I do trust

Still, why do I have to wake up today?
Can I not, and have my way?
And who are you to have that say?
Oh Darn! Catching up is Age
Too bad for me it wasn't Sage
Or else I'd be getting a better wage

Hmmm.. what was that ?
You want me to get off my lazy butt?
And to do what?
Hey, here I will stay laid
A bed for me that was made
Then again, if I don't move, i won't get paid

Ok up I shall be
To work you shall see me
But i won't work for free
I'll be at my desk and stare
At my PC looking like working the day
By actual fact, I was goofing away...

HAHAHAHAHA

=p

Weeeee... I'm on leave!!!! (unofficially)

2009-07-16T12:05:00.004+08:00

:)))))

What's with the stupid grin? Well, for one, it's been quite sometime since I got a proper off-day. I've not been to the office since 2 days ago, and now its my third day at home (... house arrest??).

Actually, I've been babysitting Isaac since Day-1 due to his asthma attack. Which makes my sleepless night more sleepless. I'd usually sleep about 3 - 4 hour per night, for the past 2 nights it was like 1 - 3 hours.. :((

Had to give him his Ventolin during his sleep. Doctor's order was every 4 hours.

Well, guess who has to ensure that "piggy" gets his prescription on time?

Not much of a "piggy" since he was sick lately, but he sure is heavy. Last scale taken was at 10.8kg.

"Now, how am I suppose to carry you around in one arm?",

..... he would just smile.

.... errr not that kinda smile...

CNY 2009 @ Kudat (Chapter 1)

2009-02-02T00:52:00.011+08:00

Had a very busy CNY this year, spent most of the time at Kudat with the family except for my Sis', she went up to Ranau.

We started quite late (about 11.30am) to head for Kudat after actually finished some last minute shopping at City Mall (donuts, snacks, drinks). The traffic was a bit slow due to the festive, but at least it was not dragging. The road was fine till we passed reached the Kota Belud ~ Kota Marudu stretch where one need to be very careful due to potholes & landslides. Took a short break at the snack stalls just before the Kudat ~ KM ~ KK junction for these:

Arriving at Kudat Marina & Golf Resort almost 2.30pm, checked-in and head straight to the Club House for a very late lunch... everyone was starving.

The food was nice and the price was reasonable (fried rice @ RM6.00, cheap eh?). I had chicken chop (i think) for lunch. All in all we paid about RM70~ish for 12 meals (including 4 takeaways!).... now, that's very reasonable for a club house!

PB eventually got bored and started to roamed the driving range & putting green...

And we started screaming at her for being on the green! :)

We wanted to have our dinner there too, unfortunately they closed at 6.00pm during the festive. More posting to come....

Blogging goes kabloeeyyy (again!)

2009-01-03T21:32:00.002+08:00

Yup.... yours truely has done it again. I've messed up my blog layout (again!).

Tried new designs from free-blog template sites, unfortunately it(or I) messed up the whole deal again... **sigh**

Back to the drawing board... :(

Leave of Absence... (or just being plain lazy)

2008-12-31T11:03:00.003+08:00

I've been gone (not blogging) for few months now... *sigh*... been quite pretty busy... (yeah right!).

Few things had happened; piggy's b-day, pb's school day, bro & family's visit during Nov & Dec.. visited MIL during xmas, and tonite, will attend New Year Eve dinner at a friend's house... heard got some nice treaty... hehehhee

I'll get this site refurbished within a day or two...

Till then, see ya!

To Blog or not to Blog

2008-08-28T12:31:00.002+08:00

I've been goofing around with the layout again.... as you can see I've changed the header with the chasing ants. While trying to upload some new template from the web, it removed some of my link to the other blogs... (doh!)

Have to take note of that: When uploading new templates, there's possibility that your widget will be removed.... do backup, backup & backups...

Now lets try that again.....

Spelling Bees

2008-08-23T22:17:00.003+08:00

At long last, I managed to watch Malaysian's own spelling bee contest on TV.

It was organised by RHB-New Straits Times entitling Spell-it-Right Challenge. It ran for 4-months nationwide. The final was aired tonight on TV3 at 7.00pm.

The competition was divided into 2 catergory:

Primary school, which was won by Year Five pupil Victor Teoh Yun-Chen of SK Bukit Daman-sara, Kuala Lumpur, and
Secondary school, which was won by Bessima Jamal (form 5'er) of SMK Lok Yuk Likas, Sabah

Yup, you heard me right, she was from our own backyard, and we won!

However, I still can't get Victor Teoh out of my mind, he was so calm and relaxed. Even after winning first place, he didn't even showed an over-excited expression on his face.

"During the prize presentation, Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein tried to force a smile on Teoh's face." - NST Online

Don't go by me, but all those students really did show good spelling bee skills. Looking forward for next years challenge. Now to get the kids into the habit... hmmm... where are the kids??

p.s. read the full news at NST Online here.

Piggy is now known as Piglet..... so they say...

2008-08-23T21:25:00.010+08:00

Reader's Note: For the records, yours truly will now refer Piggy as Isaac (I promised him to blog his name correctly after his 1st Birthday....)

I needed the holiday break, so last week, we went back to Tawau to celebrated Pigg.... I meant Isaac's 1st birthday. Didn't had much choice since ticket was sponsored by everyone back there.... (how to escape? you got idea ah? share me, eh... so next time I can use... hehehehe)

He had a birthday-eve party on Sunday (17th) at my sister's house with family & close friends. Dad & SIL baked a cake for him (thanks you two!), while we got some cupcakes from Deana, however it did not turn out to be as what we expected due to:

1. We salah order ler... not the type we wanted.. (not her fault).

We wanted this:

(picture "borrowed" from deanacakes.blogspot.com)

..... but we ordered this:

2. We should have kept it in the fridge before the flight.... all of it was upside down when arriving Tawau :(

Anyway, Isaac seems to enjoyed his birthday eve party.

On his birthday itself, we overnight at Shan Shui Golf & Country Resort. Brought him to his 1st swimming pool agenda and barbeque that night.

(Isaac, Phoebe & Mummy)

More posting & pictures on these later. After all of these, I still need a holiday break. I need to hibernate......

Have to attend to the 9.1kg tot now... see ya!

Wishful thoughts?

2008-08-15T23:11:00.003+08:00

I've been browsing thru various blog templates for the past few days saw many beautiful templates. I was thinking of downloading 1 ot 2 to try out, however didn't go for it as it does not seems to work for my site....

Hmm... maybe I'll just redo my whole blog layout again.... still wished for the 3 or 4 column type... visit them, maybe you'll have something for your blog site too...

Tag 2 - All about reading

2008-08-10T16:44:00.002+08:00

2nd Tag was from Joan D'arcy....

Here we go....

Do you remember how you developed a love for reading?
I guess when I was 7 or 8, all of my siblings were reading then.... mostly from Enid Blyton...

What are some books you read as a child?
Hardy Boys, 3 Investigators, some short stories from Alfred Hitchcock, Sherlock Holmes.

What is your favourite genre?
Detective, mystery, paranormal, science fiction, a bit of mix

Do you have a favourite novel?
Lightning by Dean R Koontz

Where do you usually read?
Anywhere except in the toilet... hahahaha... i know some people has the tendecy to do so.... YUCK!

When do you usually read?
When time permits.... it would be best when I'm far far away from modern technologies and while waiting for my next agenda i.e. transport, appointment... my worst habit is reading while driving.... ;p

Do you usually have more than one book you are reading at a time?
Yes

Do you read nonfiction in a different way or place than you read fiction?
Yes, with nonfiction, most of the time you would be able to jump from one chapter / part to another. Not advisable to do that with fiction.... it would ruin the storyline...

Used to buy.... i remembered during my last trip to KL (years ago), I spent almost $1,000 on books within less than 1 hour.... (sick!).... nowadays I just check them out from the library.

Do you keep most of the books you buy?
Oh yes.....

If you have children, what are some of the favorite books you have shared with them? Were they some of the same ones you read as a child?
Start them off with nursery rhymes, poems and idiom.... then move on to short stories, preferable with local cultures included into it, as they are reaching 9 - 10 yrs introduce to simple novels (non-fiction) to broaden their immagination... from there onwards, let them choose their interest....

I still do wish that they can share the readings I had when I was young.... if I can find them .. hahahahaha...

Do you keep a TBR (to be read) list?
Any books from Dean R Koontz

What’s next?
Cant read novels nowdays... not much time on my hand.... did loan from library a Koontz few weeks back, couldn't finish half a book... would still love to get a new genre of novel though... any gives?

What books would you like to reread?

(i) Lightning (ii) Coldfire both by Dean R Koontz
Ninja by Eric Van Lustbader
Conversation with God by Len Chamberlain (i think that's the title... lost the book though)
The Power of Physical Intelligence by Tony Buzan
Any book by Bill Waterson... dunno him ah?... heard of Calvin & Hobbes? ;p

2008-08-09T17:56:00.003+08:00

I've been hit out cold for the past few weeks (errr.... not really, just tied up + a bit lazy).... I know I haven't been answering some blog request, will do in a while though....

Piggy started his 1st 2-steps about 4 nights ago, didn't managed to catch in on video though... hope to get some by next week...

A lot to do in the next few days; just sent the car for repair today, water pump leaking.... another $300++ gone....

Sigh... Piggy is asking for a walk again...

Out!

Heroes 3

2008-07-20T21:05:00.002+08:00

They're back!

Lok Kawi or bust......

2008-07-06T23:10:00.005+08:00

Another Sunday morning...

Has planned to bring the family for a visit at Lok Kawi's Wildlife Park after church today (yeah! after months of avoiding church, I actually brought them this time... =p)

Had breakfast at Mei Mei (BH), and off we went to LKWP.... little did your's truly realised was that: when you're in KK, and things are "free", DON'T go there... (Today's event at LKWP was meant to be free, normally you'll need to pay RM10 for adult, kids i think is about RM2).. As we were approaching Moyog from Donggongon, the jam started to line up hill-wards.... (doh!)... and like usual, there are some idiot drivers that will tend to cut you from the right-hand side on a single-carriage lane during times like this, which has contributed greatly (damn!) to the congestion. (hmm.... I wonder whether Rozze went there or not..)

The kids managed to sleep in the car during the 1-hour snail movement jam, and yours truly managed to read the Sunday papers (imagine that!). Just as we were approaching LKWP, we saw that the parking area was closed. Driving passed the over multitude, and knowning that it was unlikely to get a parking at any road shoulder, we were chanting:

"Rain, rain, thunderstorm,
make this people go home"

To our eyes, the sky was promising, (well, not to us anyway). We eventually ended up at 1-Borneo (again!) for the weekend. Didn't do much over there, bought some Ikea stuff from Tune Store (I heard that Ikea is opening a store here, dunno how true but will post something on that).

Morale of the story:

When in KK, if you think you are the only one who knows about a great deal such as "free things", don't bother to think!

p.s. Piggy fell from his car at Speedy today... hmm... he seems to have lost some weight... at least he hasn't lost his appetite.

(piggy @ Uncle Steve's clinic last Feb)

Something from the past...

2008-07-05T01:16:00.000+08:00

It's dark... very dark... he can't seem to see anything but pitch black. Her voice can still heard on the far side, bearly but audible, "Daddy...". His mind had a thousand, no million things going thru as he makes his way trying to reach her. Alas, he thought, he could get to her in time. Suddenly, a piercing force stabbed thru his feet and gradually he felled to his knees. "What demon has befalled me?", his thoughts ran. Tyring to get to his feet, he stumbled over another obstacle making him falling further away from her..

"Daddy...", her voice seems to faint away. Blood gushes out of his foot as he clears the alienated object from it. How much more time? how much more misery shall I pass thru to survive and reach her? His mind was failing him. Faith was failing him. Strength was not with him, nor was luck.

As he forced himself thru, he felt eyes watching him closely... 'tick, tock, doors are lock; run you couldn't, live you wouldn't'... What madness is this? he thinks, as his mind is playing tricks on him, his thoughts recalls a story of an ancient cursed.. why? why now? why her? Sweat was pouring all over his body... the stench of blood is in the air..

Concentrating his mind on reaching his precious girl, he made tremandous leap and pushed thru all obsticles. Sounds of falling barricade can be heard behind him; he didn't care. He must get to her, at all cost. Unaware of his action, his landing was broken by something soft, something he would wished for a lifetime. Reaching for the panel, he changed the table against fate.

Click!

"Daddy? Are you ok?", she asked. Looking at her, gasping for air, he said, "No, I'm not! Here's your water. Next time clean up your toys before going to bed. Someone could get hurt walking in your room."

He left her bedside, while the little girl looked at him blankly... "OK, nite daddy!"

<------- The little girl that likes to leave her toys around...

The better half (or halves)..

2008-07-02T23:59:00.005+08:00

Just came back from watching "Wanted" @ GSC-1Borneo.... the place was cold.... don't go there if you're not wearing long pants / jeans... Anyway the movie was nice till it made Smith (Clive Owen) in "Shoot Em Up" looked like a kindergarten kid with a squirt gun...

The movie's (Wanted) character was good, however the plot line was predictable... No need to try to figure out whodunnit in this movie, but it will surely give you the ride of your life... by the end of the movie, you'll start to ask "What if...?"; the same cursed question Alexander Hartdegen had in mind in "Time Machine"..

Well nuff of that for now... time to hit the sack....

So what's up for tomorrow? Hancock? Who knows? ;)

Flip Flop

2008-07-02T17:24:00.003+08:00

Wednesday nite... hmmmm... what to watch tonite? Hulk? Wanted? or maybe Sepi (ya ya I know it's a Malay movie, but I heard the review was really got... something like "better than Sepet")

Anyway will decide once I reach the cinema later....

Till then have to remember to get my shoe repaired....

Movie nites...

2008-06-28T07:50:00.000+08:00

It's Saturday again and I haven't watched any movies for the past few weeks, maybe I'll go tomorrow. (Sigh) Can't decide between Hulk and Wanted, but surely will go for Hancock this coming week.

There's still hope.... ;)

2008-06-25T21:19:00.002+08:00

I've been thinking of organising a reunion for class 89 (do i feel old..!) sometime next year... just when i thought that all hope were gone, I got mail! Actually a friend of mine got hold of me via Piggy's blog... at least now I have some more names to include for the reunion.

Now to start getting the list running.. Thanks Joan!

Insomnia

2008-06-23T15:40:00.004+08:00

Had a visit from Migraine Cluster last night... nice timing... now I'm having a head banging session.... (doh!)... medicine miracle doesn't work in my head nowadays... but sleep somehow does, if I get some... no thanks to the guy outside with the grass cutter....

Listened to some old songs and found this one stucked away nehind the two way mirror... this is a cover version of Goo Goo Dolls' Symphathy... this guy is good, he goes under the nickname "fargenbastich" in youtube.com... he did a lot of cover versions, very talented guy he is...

Time for a change

2008-06-21T22:45:00.002+08:00

I've seen people change, things change, surrounding change, and yet still I stand where I am... they say, when changes happens its either you follow it or get left behind.... I would like to think otherwise... draw up you own line, destiny, way... whatever you call it... still the choice is yours...

Do you really need to follow the change? What if you don't? Would you cease to exist? Would you fail to survive? Most of the time we think so, and to avoid tremendous fall back in our life, we follow.

Within the next few months I can foreseen some changes around me; people, governments, beliefs, faith, life; I'm ready for it, but I will not change yet for the sake of changing..

See you by then; right now the only change I'm going to do is increase the contain of my tummy... now let's see if there's any leftovers butter-bun üÜü

Sayang Kinabalu (Lotter & Rich style)

2008-06-21T21:39:00.005+08:00

Found this on the net last night... it was kinda cool.., unfortunately it was not the complete song... but still enjoyable....

Deja vu?

2008-06-20T22:17:00.002+08:00

Ever felt that whenever things seems to fall into place as planned, it will ended up wrongly or it eventually didn't work? Well, the most you can do is to get the best out of it by ensuring the result of the whole thing works to the nearest as planned.

Got it? No? Good, neither do I. =p

107.96

2008-06-18T12:30:00.003+08:00

Why 107.96? Well, its a number I will remember for the next few months when I see my car (poor LE... ).

And yes it has something to do with the fuel hike... (go ahead, yawn!). I filled up LE yesterday full tank, thinking "Oh what the heck, might as well fill it full, at least I won't have to come back again", and did the routine:

Swipe card (ya ya ya .. I've been short of cash lately)
Transaction approved
Plug the nozzle into the tank and wait.....

Little did yours truly realised, either LE had a leak or had a big appetite... next thing I knew, it was filling up almost to 40 litres and then it struck me! $107.00 ++ and counting... $#!t... by the time I managed to stop the filling, it had already reached $107.96.... (doh!) and LE was burping like Piggy...

Well, lesson learnt: LE & Piggy are somehow related.

p.s. time to think of NGV

Bed Riddance?

2008-06-15T08:30:00.002+08:00

Ahhhh.... Sunday mornings.... the day when the devil himself seats next to my pillow and says "Sleep on, you've got no worries today". Yes, I missed going to church again today... for the umpteen time I missed it. Some kid woke me up early, he was pestering on how "uncool" I was laying under my blanket, while elsewhere in the world there are children starving for food. Lectures after lectures, words and sounds drilled thru my head. Hey kid! Give this man a break will ya? I've been working the whole week and am trying to enjoy my sleep here (Luc was grinning widely).

I mean, how often would you get a day off and had a cool and raining Sunday morning? The wind was blowing its cool mid-year breeze, while the neighbours are gone for the day to somewhere called Timbuktu. Who's there to bother your slumber without time to bother, except for this kid now with his world hunger, food shortage speech!

OK!OK! I'll get up! What? you're overflowed? Too bad! Here's your drink, now go to bed Piggy!

p.s. find out more about Piggy at pbwyatt.blogspot.com

... to see or not to see....

2008-06-14T12:42:00.001+08:00

The Incredible Hulk is playing in cinemas this week... A friend of mine recommended me to watch it... well, should I? I mean, it's just the Hulk... a big green monster with tiny brain.. "Arrrghhh me Hulk will crush metal monster... you puny humans are weak!" ... yeah like as if he was not a human himself....

Never liked him that much, big body tiny brain.... hmmmm... reminds me of a certain yellow bear in red t-shirt... =p

Anyway, will know whether I'll be going by this coming Wednesday.... till then, may watch Superhero movie.... NOT!

A beautiful day.... or not....

2008-06-13T12:31:00.003+08:00

I really hate it when things goes awry in the morning. It's very difficult when your message does not reach to the person across just because they refuse to until you ignore them. It happened to me this morning. Arrghhh!!! Action to be done was so simple yet they tend to argue back. Pestering and annoying you around till you give up or blow a fuse....

Well, I'm not gonna give in anymore. From now onwards, when others piss me off, they are gonna get it.... (not like I'm gonna be physical about it), literally, I'm going to start screaming too!!!

*Sigh* This is what normally happens when my 4-year old daughter starts with her morning toneless tantrum.

=p

And so, it's time...

It's a really different feeling when knowing someone actually did what they meant to do, and they done it, especially when you know you're going to miss it...

A friend of mine has stopped blogging since last week (i only knew it a few minutes ago), which really stopped my train of thoughts for a moment . It's not that I've known him my lifetime, but his view on life does really have a different prespective than what I used to see. I've seem to grown fond of it. Calvin & Hobbes would have agreed with me.... and him.

Anyway, here's to you pal! Drop a line.. ;-)
