allaboutF - a story of my life

I always downloaded remix music to be use while in the gym. When I go on a treadmill or ski machine I love to listen to fast beat remix music. Recently I got bored of listening to the remix based on other people's taste, so I compiled my own one.

I am sharing this if you are interested to download. This is the first time I compiled a remix music so probably the quality isn't top notch. There are also part when I joined two songs it sound a little awkward, oh well!

You will probably enjoy the last track at minute 29:30. Lets smile and gelek gelek.....uhuh...gelek...

It is very common that most people work for other people. Your life is a little stagnant there is not much changes in life. It gets a little bore at time and you lure for more, but you are not sure what. It is like you are trying to reach for the star, you knew it is up there but you can never reach to it. That feeling is annoying, dissapointing and just depressing.

I want to explore the world and enjoy the nature's beauty. I want to conquer the Hilmalayas, the South Pole. I want to take a lot of photographs of nature's beauty in my own way, different from others, a unique creation from the eyes of me. I want to learn how to fly, not only a small one engine aircraft but up to the the larger B737. There area lot of things that I want to do in life, but one thing restricting me from doing it.

MONEY! I do not have the fund.

So, I'm back to work, working for people - sigh!

Depression drains yourself making it difficult in dealing everything in your life be it work or personal. Being depressed, you lure for happiness and feeling satisfied. Being depressed makes your chest feels tight like there is something that you want to let go or achieve but you have no idea what it is. Have you ever had this feeling?

Sometimes it feels like life is meaningless, what it means to be alive, to work and to earn money. Sometimes you will question why is this world is like it is? Things that you don't understand, leads to more questions and there is no answer.

This is some suggestion from the web about depression:

• Turn to trusted friends and family members. Share what you’re going through with the people you love and trust. Ask for the help and support you need

• Try to keep up with social activities even if you don’t feel like it. When you’re depressed, it feels more comfortable to retreat into your shell. But being around other people will make you feel less depressed.

• aim for 8 hours of sleep. Depression typically involves sleep problems. Whether you’re sleeping too little or too much, your mood suffers

• Expose yourself to a little sunlight every day

• Identify your stressors. Figure out all the things in your life that are stressing you out. Examples include: work overload, unsupportive relationships, substance abuse, taking on too much, or health problems. Once you’ve identified your stressors, you can make a plan to avoid them or minimize their impact.

• Go easy on yourself. Many depressed people are perfectionists, holding themselves to impossibly high standards and then beating themselves up when they fail to meet them. Battle this source of self-imposed stress by challenging your negative ways of thinking.

• Plan ahead. If you know your stress triggers and limits, you will be able to identify and avoid many landmines. If you sense trouble ahead, protect yourself by dipping into your wellness toolbox and saying “no” to added responsibility.

• Boost your B vitamins. Deficiencies in B vitamins such as folic acid and B-12 can trigger depression. To get more, take a B-complex vitamin supplement or eat more citrus fruit, leafy greens, beans, chicken, and eggs.

• Practice mindful eating. Slow down and pay attention to the full experience of eating. Enjoy the taste of your food

• Think outside yourself. Ask yourself if you’d say what you’re thinking about yourself to someone else. If not, stop being so hard on yourself. Think about less harsh statements that offer more realistic descriptions.

• Keep a “negative thought log”. Whenever you experience a negative thought, jot down the thought and what triggered it in a notebook. Review your log when you’re in a good mood. Consider if the negativity was truly warranted. For a second opinion, you can also ask a friend or therapist to go over your log with you.

• Replace negatives with positives. Review your negative thought log. Then, for each negative thought, write down something positive. For instance, “My boss hates me. She gave me this difficult report to complete” could be replaced with, “My boss must have a lot of faith in me to give me so much responsibility.”
  

• Socialize with positive people. Notice how people who always look on the bright side deal with challenges, even minor ones, like not being able to find a parking space. Then consider how you would react in the same situation. Even if you have to pretend, try to adopt their optimism and persistence in the face of difficulty.

• You get a lot of fingers pointed at you - This is so true, all the departments or organization in your company will finger point to IT when there is something disrupting them from doing their work. They always use IT as an excuse for not being productive.
  

• People assume you’re an expert in all things tech - Of course most IT guy are highly intelligent and full of enthusiasm (I don't deny there are some retarded one). However we don't know everything. Just because we dealt with computers, it does not mean we sleep with computers too (Unless they produce a fucking machine run by computer and act like a real human being, we might sleep with machine some days). There are many areas in IT, not every IT guy are trained in all areas. By the way IT is not all about fixing a broken computer or a computer infected by threat (virus, trojan, malware, etc). Those IT project managers who knows shit about computers are in IT too, but in their specific area.

• You have to continually re-train, on your own dime - In the past 10 years IT has evolved more than any other job industry. Our knowledge might get absolute within months - We, IT guy have to get re-train from time to time.
  

• The hours are long and irregular - Yes we do work long hours. I on the other side work less hours when I'm in KL, but when I'm on site within a week I would have covered almost 2 weeks work hours for a normal IT guy. So basically it balanced.

• The job market is tumultuous and in transition - Look around you, dont you think this is true? It's uproarious and moving really fast. Remember most computer about 10 years ago only comes with 64MB/128MB/256MB of RAM? . A typical computer today would have at least 1GB or RAM. Every industry in the world are now depending on IT; contruction, food, transportation, manufacturing - everything requires a highly tech robot/machine provided by IT and engineering. Look at 20 years ago, are the dependencies as high as of now? So do you think this is good or bad? Be your own judge.

I have been thinking recently, to trade in my current car to a new one. However a few friends advised not and make another long term commitment in this economic situation.

So here is a list of what I love about my current car:

• The engine sounds like A320/A330, sometimes I can hear my car's engine while I'm flying on A320/A330. I dont think a new car would produce that kind of engine noise

• When I drove my car it feels like I'm driving a train, sometimes I pretend that the white lines on the road are the rail and I'm in a train cockpit cruising like a Shinkansen. No other new car would give me the same joy like driving a Shinkansen.

• All 4 power windows on my car are no longer functional. I like it for the fact that my car is unique, I had to open my door to pay toll. A new car would not give the uniqueness of my current car

• The colour of my car is just perfect for people like me. I wash my car every 6-8 months. However due to the colour, it never look dirty. A new car would require me to maintain it and wash it every 2 weeks - what a waste of money and energy!

• No people wants to steal my car, they tried to break in and they changed their mind and decided not to. It would be hard to take care of a new car.

So I'm going to keep my car for now. Love my car :-p

2008 has been a year where I faced up and down emotionally. It is also a year when I was under a lot of pressure and being influenced to make certain decision that I am not ready to make. I am glad that I did not make the decision, it's 2009 now and I am still standing strong. I have been weak emotionally and I shall never let it continue in 2009 - not a chance, not by anyone or 'it'

I have spent 45% of the time in 2008 on a business trip. I believe 2009 is no different from last year, there will be more business trip and hopefully if the current economic situation is not killing my industry hopefully there will be more projects thus providing more income to the company and more benefits to the employee.

Today just after break fasting mom told me a heart broken tragedy happened to an ex primary school mate of mine. Though I have not been in contact with him for more than 18 years but this story really touches my heart. 'Is' w... Read Moreas in the same class with me during Primary 3 and 4. Mom heard from her friend that Is has been found dead at a dumpster near the housing community we used to live. They said he is HIV+ since many years ago and he has died due to AIDS. He has an addiction to drug since school time. He was put into a juvenile detention just before he turned 15 and he has been in and out of the center through out his life. I heard couple of years ago, he asked to be put into detention again. He told his parent that he could not face the community, he felt like an alien. He has also tried committing suicide when he was 17. Though I have not been in contact with him since 18 years ago, he is still a person who deserve an Al-Fatihah.... Al-Fatihah~

I'm actually not in a mood to write. Just a few days ago I blocked public access to the blog
because I accidentally exposed the URL to the down-syndrome person. However after thinking more about it, I decided to re-open the blog; - this is my blog, I can write about anything and everything and who cares if DS read this or not.

It's already July 2008 - I couldn't believe 6.5 months had already past since the day I celebrated New Year in Genting Highland! My grandmother always told when I was still a kid; that I will realise time flies much faster than when I'm still a kid. I couldn't agree more. I'm experiencing that now. I have been really committed to work since early this year, leaving less time for myself. I'm thinking of taking a week of for holiday or spend some time for myself, however I need to travel again next week or the following week, plus I need to put an application for annual leave at least 10 years 1 to 2 months earlier. This leaves me hesitant to even trying applying for AL. FYI, I have already put an advance application for an annual leave in April 2009 - I'm going to Bali, Woohoo!

Anyway, I'm lazy to write more - I should go back to work now. For the meantime, enjoy the clips - I hope the clip can entertain you for a few minutes. There are too many sad people in KL, I hope you're not one of them.

Please also read an article by a friend DestinyStep titled 'A bankrupt next generation?' It's the posting dated 10-Jul-08.

I have not been posting for a while due to busy schedule. This year I have been traveling quite often for work and I am tired of it. Just early this week I felt very depressed and disturb thinking of how long I will be away from those that I love and care about; family and friends. What about my lifestyle - I am a movie freak; I would watch at least 1 movie a week in KL. But when I am on travel I do not get to watch movies. The ticket is too expensive and I could not afford it after conversion. My company only give me advance money, no such thing as travel allowance. For whatever I spend on, I need a receipt. I would like to re-negotiate with my manager about travel allowance which means if there is an extra money I did not spend on, I can keep it. And with travel allowance I have more flexibility of what I want to spend the money on, movie, entertainment, anything. But with advance money I can only spend limited to food, transportation and food and transportation only. Entertainment for me now if for me to go out dining with clients or customers ONLY. Nothing benefits me with advance money. And NO movie!

That is not really the major cause of me feeling depressed. What really causing it is time - I woke up this morning thinking about the way how I celebrated New Year eve at Genting Highlands and I thought it was just a few weeks ago. Then there was a big slap on my face! I woke up twice realizing that actually happens about half a year ago! I then sat down thinking about what has happened to the few months in between January and June 2008? Where is my February, March, April and May 2008? I can not remember all the occurrence in my life within these few months, and for sure I did not enjoy it. When I put a lot more thought I think back how many times I actually spend quality time with my mom? How many times have I really give her a hug? How many times has she cried when I have to leave her at home alone for a few weeks or months. Is this what I want in life? I can for sure get a job in KL with at least the same pay or slightly lower or maybe higher, but the experience that I get from this company is very regressive. Its more forward than working in KL. However the effect of time moving too fast give a huge impact in one's life. I believe the impact is probably the same as alien abduction victim; both psychological and emotional.

I need another holiday! I have a holiday booked for April 2009 but that is still a long way to go. I need a quick one when I am in KL soon.

For the past 2 weeks I have been on site at the major trading house in Sydney working on Avaya and British Telecom for Smarts monitoring. Next week I have one week in Richmond, Victoria to deliver a 3 days training for Service Assurance Manager to about 10 students from a major real-estate company in Australia. Then the next 2 days I will be attending ASL for Service Assurance Manager training to be conducted by my colleague. On friday night I will be back to Sydney. Most probably I will fly back to KL for 1-2 weeks to settle of some personal matters and then back to Melbourne for another 2 days on 2nd and 3rd July delivering training for Smarts IP then back to KL. I will have 3 weeks in KL hopefully (if Phillipines is not kicking in early) and then on 25th July back to Sydney. I'm not sure what is the schedule like after July, but I'm sure when I realize it, it is already another New Year!

Honestly, I don't know what to write about. I just thought that I need to keep my blog active by contributing some update/post.

I've been wanting to buy an iPod for ages, not that I can not afford to buy it soon enough but I had a life principle which I established about 2 years ago (when I was in bad financial
situation) a personal budget. Everything that I were to spend for must be carefully calculated and recorded in my budget spreadsheet.

It was a really good move, I managed to finish off my credit card debt just last month and my only debt now is the monthly car installment which I hope to introduce a plan for myself to finish it off before end of the tenure period. I have not work out a plan for that yet but I am confident that before I turn 32 I would be debt free (including car). For housing I have not making any decision yet.

Back to the mp3 player, I did not buy an iPod; instead I bought a samsung T10 mp4 player which has a good quality sound and very clear screen. You can barely see any pixel dot on the screen. The best thing about T10 is it has bluetooth capability. So you can do file transfer over the air. On top of that you can pair the mp4 player with your phone and make/receive phone call from your mp4 player. When it is already paired and you're listening to music on the player any incoming call would pause the music currently playing and you can see who is calling on the mp4 player screen and decide if you want to answer or not. All these functions comes at a price of RM400 (USD125). I'm quite happy with it and I'm glad that I did not spend for the overprice iPod nano.

My company has organised a training for one the new product in the Ettalong Beach office today and tomorrow. The last we had training in the office was mid of last year. It is always nice to have a training in the office here, I don't have to travel far to get to the training center and the best is, I dont have to wake up too early! With the last training we had a Red Indian trainer from the US. He is a very nice guy who travels all around the world to deliver training. The last I heard from my colleague who was talking to him on the phone, he was in Moscow delivering training for that particular product. And for today's training - I'm not sure if the trainer comes from the US. I wasn't briefed about it. But last week we had a meeting with Sr Director of Product Marketing from Ohio, US and Product Mgr of Apps Mgmt Solutions from Ontario Canada. I can tell the Product Mgr is a metrosexual guy. From his coat down to his shoes they're all branded - I can tell. I asked if he is coming down to our office next week, he said he wish he could but he is heading back to Ontario. Too bad!

Anyhow, this is whats happening this week - just training and continuing of the project I was involved for the past weeks and months at one of the Global Financial House

Last week I solved an issue not known by anyone in the company at one of the Oil and Gas Company in Sydney. I was on site with my new colleague and can be considered I am alone working on the issues. Anyhow, by 6:30pm the problem was solved and customer is happy - I did a follow up call the next day and the system is still working fine. Besides I am still working on the first deployment in Australia for ESM - Apparently my boss told me it is the first in the world too! There are some issues and missing bits and pieces which has been communicated through to the US. I am still waiting for response for the next step for the deployment.

Posted in: WLB on at at 6:03 AM 0 comments  

I was out on an assignment in the Sydney CBD today for one of the global oil and gas company. It was a half a day assignment and we finished on the dot by noon. On the way back to central coast, we stopped by the central station. My colleague decided that we should have lunch at the station before heading back to central coast; therefore we will not be starving for the 1.5 hours journey on the train. He had the usual fast food meal set, while i chose something which is more 'healthy', roasted lamb with side dishes; baked potato with cheese, baked pumpkin and some steamed vegetables.

The portion was big, I only ate half of the serving. It gets too windy and I moved all the left over to the table next to us. A school of Seagulls came and ate the left over, I found it interesting, I even recorded a video clip of it. My colleague was just laughing at me and a few people just looked at me. They created a mess on the table and on the floor

A few minutes later, a guy in a trench coat walked pass by me and head in the direction of that table. He picked up the left over food on the floor and ate it. There are some more on the plates and he ate it all. He dont seem to care at all the people looking at him. My heart just dropped, my eyes gets teary and my colleague was asking me why. I said nothing--just dust gets into my eyes. I felt very saddened seeing how people would eat left over food by either human or animal. It makes me wonder, how in this modern and civilized world, there are still people living at the very least of the basic necessity (food,home,etc).

We're very lucky that we can afford to buy our own meal. We're very lucky to have a living that some people could not have.

No matter how difficult our living is, there are some people out there facing the worst living than us.

P/S: You can see in the video clip, how seagulls ate the food and what is left for the man.

I heard noises of boys fighting from outside. Somehow I felt nervous about it, I wanted to take a look out. However I'm staying on the very first floor and the balcony is just open to public. Anyone could climb in and get into my room. But this time my heart is pounding faster and I kept telling myself I had to take a peek. The noise is getting louder, there must be a group of five of boys at least, probably drunk. At least that is how they sounds like. I thought I could probably pretend that I'm outside at the balcony for a smoke. I went searching my bag for the cigarette pack, I found one and went out to the balcony to light it up.

Out of my usual expression, my eyes almost popping out. My heart pounding much faster than it ever was before. Right in front of my eyes I saw two naked boys, probably in their 19's. They were hugging and kissing each other and a group of girls and boys circling around them. Anyone walking past by the group could not see what is in the circle. The two boys are still hugging and kissing. One of them is taller and muscular than the other which is slim fit and shorter. The taller boy hold the shorter boy's neck tight and smooch hard into his lips. The group are getting louder, they cheer and shouting names. I heard Jamie and Oliver. I'm not sure which is which, but I'm guessing Jamie is the tall muscular boy and Oliver is the shorter one.

The whole things lasted for almost half and hour, it start from a plain vanilla till the hardcore. For your information, Oliver is dominating Jamie on the floor, though Jamie looks like he is suppose to be one. Once they are done, Jamie and Oliver get dressed and I saw Jamie taking out a stack of cash out of his wallet. He started handing them over to the crowd, that puzzle me. Why did he gave them money?

The crowd disappears and Jamie and Oliver move out of my sight. Silence takes place again, and all I can hear is just a smooth night breeze. That night, I could not sleep thinking about what has happened right in front of my eyes in the public place. And the question why would Jamie hand over money to the crowd.

The next morning when I was coming out from the front door, I stumbled across Oliver! He is my next door neighbor!

As I was enjoying the calm and quietness in the bath tab I heard a cracking noise. It sounds very sharp as if it was very near. But it can't be, it must be my mind playing tricks on me due to anxiety. I let it go and enjoy my warm bath. There, it came again, I swear to god I heard the crack noise once more! What the hell is happening? Is this building going under! I am at level 4, if the building collapse survival is the last chance I could think of. "Crack"... "Crack"... "Crack"... There was the noise again! The 3 loud cracking noise instantly get me out of the bath tab to investigate further what is happening. As I was standing next to the bath tab I can feel a slight vibration on the floor. I thought there was an earthquake, but it can not be! As I move away from the bath tab to the living hall, I heard a loud noise; the bath tab just collapsed into the level below! I can not believe my eyes!

A huge black figure creeping into my room while I'm sleeping. I had a bolster between my legs, the black entity removes it onto the floor. The local people called it Goro-Goro. It is an unsettled soul of a single women who died of a broken heart. There are too many sightings of it in this town, but I do not believe them. Many town has many of it's own folklore. I thought it is one of them, but until it appears right in front of my own eyes, I couldn't believe more. However I question myself again, is this what they called the Goro-Goro? I am not sure, I would love to investigate more, but I am already hits by paranoia now. I need to get myself up and escape myself to safety. But the Goro-Goro is already holding both my legs up the air. I am struggling hard to lift off my legs from Goro-Goro, but the black cold entity is so strong and numbness started to travel down from my toe slowly crawling down to my knee. I can feel my body lifted from the bed floor. Goro-Goro took me out of the bed and started floating me off the air. It went to the balcony and jumped of it. Still flying, and holding both my legs I am suspended in the air while my legs are secured in the Goro-Goro's hand and my head is at the bottom. Blood rushes down to my head and out of sudden I knew that I am going to lose my consciousness. My view slowly turned dark and I am not sure what happens then.

3 weeks lack of sleep and 3 weeks dedicating my life for work. 150 hours delivering work in 3 weeks not inclusive of another 45 hours traveling time. Hectic!

The 2 stories suburban train was passing by Mount Ku-rin-gai Chase station and it started swaying left and right heavily than usual. I look out at the crowd but nobody seems to be disturb of it. I look out the window and we're just passing by the edge of the mountain probably about 400 meters from the ground level. Out of sudden the train stopped, a city express train passed by. My train started moving again with a loud metal clicking noise at start and started swaying heavily again.

I just close my eyes, wishing that nothing is wrong. I just want to get back home; have dinner and off to bed. I'm too tired to get involve with anything else. After 10 minutes the train is still moving slowly and sways. I started going with the sway, left and right..left and right..left and right...a latin music tune started playing in my ear. Yes, I have an iPod playing the Latin music. Out of sudden, I see everyone started swaying left and right. What I didnt realised was, I was standing right in the center alley and was doing my latin move left and right. Everyone stand up to the center alley and do a snychronise dance with me.

I changed the music on my iPod, this time it was "Good Morning Baltimore" from the movie Hair Spray, and I put it on a loud speaker. The whole carriage turn into stage for a musical theater. It was fantastic, everyone are dancing and singing. We move from car to car, and more people are joining us singing and dancing. There was an old lady with a walking stick dancing with us. The whole train journey was indeed very fun! It was brilliant, I didnt realise that when the train started swaying it is an indication that the passenger should start sways with the train. It true what they used to tell me, one should make the train happy by singing and dancing in it. The trains here are a living soul and they do harm things if they're not happy. A train ride last night was an experience that I'll never forget all my life. And this town is full of mystery yet to be discover.

Until then, F

I have not been smoking over the weekend. It is now 10:21pm on Sunday and my craving has gone up to the max. I was watching the documentary about Victoria Beckham- "What's eating Victoria" and they do talked about her smoking ciggerate and my craving comes right on the spot! I feel like driving out to the nearest 7-11 or petrol station to get a pack of ciggerate. But maybe I should try holding it for a bit more and see how it goes. But for sure I do not want to wake up in the middle of the night with the craving and disrupt my sleep. Arghhh......

I received a phone call from CT Bank SG for a post there. Told the I'm not looking for now, but then he started talking about the package and benefits, etc. Still I told them I'm not looking for one now and he still continue talking about the opportunity. I am not going to move job now coz I'm getting older (tired of changing job) and I don't want to be relocated to Singapore (at least for now).

And today I received an email for a job with the same requirement, I wonder if it's related... The email looks simple though. Hmmm.....

The JD looks like a 3 skills being combined. SMARTS itself is a whole huge system which requires a couple years of experience, training and deployment experience to be master with. Whereby UNIX administration and PERL scripting are 2 different skills. Company should've split the JD into at least 2 post. A technical engineer not necessarily should do programming. Of course I dont deny a lot of technical engineer are well verse with programming but it's just like a sales person and an engineer. If a company send a sales person to engage in a pre-sales and the sales person is also a technical engineer, would the client believe what the technical engineer says? Client would think whatever come out from the engineer is part of marketing. Same thing....anyway....I'll pass this one..

Some people may not agree with what I said above, but well....its a free country :-)

Duit Raya

I received my first duit raya from Alex. Quite a lot actually, he surprised me anyway. I didnt expect to receive anymore duit raya at this age actually! Hehe....



Second day of Raya
On a second Raya everyone was enjoying their lemang, rendang, kuah kacang, masak lodeh, ketupat and all raya dishes I had to make my way to Singapore for a week training. I took the Aeroline bus instead of a flight because Tony does'nt want to take flight down to Singapore. I'm quite happy with the coach, it is nice and we sat at the bus lounge through out the journey (yes we're being selfish for not letting others sit at the lounge). I had a terrible motion sickness all the way in the bus.
The food they served in the bus
Beautiful Malaysia

Video clip in the bus




Singapore
We stayed at the Carlton and didn't manage to go around a lot. These are a few pictures I snapped nearby our hotel.
.......... I think they had like 3 or 4 bottles of JD throughout the week, that was just in the hotel bar and does not include drinking at bars outside the hotel.

Tony bought his first helicopter in Sim Lin Center



Sushi King
Me and Alex dining at sushi king in Queens Park. Besides the dishes below, we had a plate of endamame, some sushi plates and crispy prawns with lime juice and mayonnaise.

We like the curry bun. There used to be 3 buns and bigger bowl for the curry, but now it look like they're cutting the quantity and maintain the price! The soft shell crab is not bad actually.

...



Ice Cream
Skyler is leaving to Singapore for a long duration, approximately 1 to 2 months. I had to grab something from him, since I promised him ice cream so we went for this ice cream fondue instead.

I'm updating my blog with the feel of disguise, hatred, and annoyed because of my blog template. Who can help me to cut and paste your plain ol blog template (in xml)? Second I've been trying to upload new pictures here for the past few days, however it seems that im losing my bandwidth. Either blogspot's server is too busy or the bastard at TMnet is capping my bandwidth! I reckon those bastards did it!!

Thanks and regards,

I slept quite late last night, at about 2am. And since I've promised Tony that we're going up to the skybridge today, so I had to wake up early and be there at KLCC by 8:30pm. At 8:30am, the Q is pretty long. They're probably close to 100 peoples there of all nations. We lined up at got our ticket at 8:50am. Our ticket shows that we can only go up at 9:45am.

Tony wanted to have breakfast, I asked him what type of breakfast he wants? He said something local. So I took him to Rasa food court. They're too many choices for him to choose. He asked for my opinion. So I got him teh tarik and roti telur with dhal. Surprisingly, he quite like it and asked me to write down the name of it on a piece of paper. So that he can order that again tomorrow. LOL.At about 9:30am, we head back to the Twin Tower and Q up again for entrance. Before going up, we'are all requested to sit for a 3D show of the Petronas Corporate video. I dont quite like 3D show. It makes me dizzy. Maybe my brain is still in dormant mode due to tiredness so rare kind of information cant be processed.

The view from the skybridge is alright. Nothing fancy.

After that we head to Low Yatt Plaza. Tony bough a couple of things i.e External HDD, Bluetooth Dongle, Headset and etc. At about 12pm, Tony decided to have something to munch. But he dont want anything heavy as yet. So I took him down to the Low Yatt Plaza food court and we found this store serving Chicken Curry with a toasted bread. Hmmmm.... Yummy...but too bad I'm fasting. So I suggested that to Tony since he likes curry very much. His only complaint was, the curry wasnt spicy! Again, Tony thought the meal was delicious . Dia makan sampai jilat jari!! Sedap sangat ke? I must come and try that after raya!!
We walk back to Sungei Wang and Tony bought a couple of pants, jeans, shirts and souvenirs. I fetched him back to his hotel at about 4pm. Upon reaching home, I took a shower and thought I could rest on the bed for a while, but I fell asleep until at about 6:50pm. That was my tiring day!

I was quite busy catching up with work recently thats why there is not many updates recently.

I start my day today at about 10am heading to Bank in Bangsar Shopping Center to collect our company cheque book. By 12pm I've already made my way back home to do some grocerries at the local supermarket in my neighborhood. I bought 2 weeks stocks for my mom so that i could leave her alone with ease when I'm singapore next week. At about 1pm I'm already home. I decided to take an hour and a half nap before meeting up Tony and go to the office (Tony is my British colleague from Australia). At about 3:15pm I make my way to Corus Hotel to fetch Tony to KLCC. Reached KLCC at about 4:15pm. Tony complaining that he was hungry and need a bite. So we went to the Signature food court and I start introducing all the local foodstalls to him and bitch about some not nice stalls (i.e the Briyani stall next to the Thai stall). Tony thought all the food are nice and tempting and he dont know what to choose. Since he is not sure I suggest to him to eat BBQ Chicken rice (since that is what I'm going to get if I'm not fasting..kekeke). At about 4:45pm he is done with his meal and we walked a bit in KLCC. He told me that he wanted to get a Nokia phone charger since he left his back at home and his phone battery is flat. So we walked to the Phone shop in KLCC and the N73 phone charger was sold at Rm89. Told him to give me a tick and we walked to Wisma Central. We managed to get the charge for RM10 there!

Then we saw the foot massage flyer of a Siam touch and thought that we could get our feet done. Hmmmm....nice I thought. But the problem is it cost RM68 (not including 5% government tax). Somehow Tony changed his mind and wanted to do body massage. I sticked with my foot reflexology. It was really good! The lady masseur is really a pro!! My feet felt very light. I felt like wanna skipp badly while walking back to KLCC but I did not. (oh by the way, Tony paid for my foot massage:)


In KLCC we went to Cold Storage to get a couple of drinks and buns for my buka puasa bite. We then drive down to Queens Park and reached there exactly at 7pm. We waited for a couple of minutes in the car while waiting for Azan (prayer's call) so that I can break my fasting.

In Queens Park, Tony bought a surfer's shorts. Then we went to Jusco Maluri and he started his budget shopping there. He bought a Camel Cargo Pants, a couple of shirts from FOS and Jusco departmental store, flip flops and some redbull from the supermarket.










Then we head to the shoe section and he wanted to get one of those camel shoes, but not sure which one and was contemplating if he can wear that with Jeans. I told him not to get those yet, coz I dont quite like it. Hehe. He agreed and we walked back to my car at about 9pm.










Then we head for dinner at Quan's Coffee House in Desa Pandan. I had Portugese Fish Rice with 1 litre ice peach tea and he had 3 bottles of Carlsberg with Portugese Chicken Rice. We had a chat until at about 11:40pm.










Then I send him back to his hotel, but on the way back, we stopped by Jalan Ampang right opposite of KLCC and took some pictures.









Tomorrow we will be going for a visit up to the skybridge and then Plaza Low Yatt and Sungei Wang. I need to get shower now and then bed. I had to get up early tomorrow and Q up for the skybridge ticket. Grrr.... I'm very the lazy to wake up early in the morning if I dint get enough sleep~
