Hunny's Condo rented out.
Hunny came over my place for lunch, then I followed him over.. many people came over to see... An indian family (husband, wife & a small son) came over to view the unit 1st time today, they were happy, and immediately they gave deposit for the place, and wanna move in tomorrow itself.
So, hurrah! Hunny finally rented his condo out. Kept telling him that I'm his lucky star... always bring luck to him, but he says I bullshit. Like when I followed him over there today, there's finally a taker for his condo (his condo has been sitting there for MONTHSSS, nobody wanna rent.). Maybe it's sheer coincidence... but I somehow feel that God made me his lucky star.
Maybe it's the mind power thing which my lecturer Mr Nehru thought us. I kept thinking and believing that if I'm beside Hunny, everything will go well for him. Like when he's in Genting gambling, I always believed that by standing beside him I'll bring extra luck for us both... and true enough he won. Same thing today.. I always believed that if he brings a person to view the unit and I'm there with him, the deal will run thru smoothly. But the past few times he didn't want me to follow him there, so I didn't folow. Only today he invited me to follow. And it's done!
I'm very happy for him that this problem has cleared up for him. I cannot wait for my saturday exam to clear up for me.. having this pounding headache since morning. Have taken a panadol this evening when it got real bad, and the pain has subside. Now it seems to be coming back again...
Happy Independence Day!
This is the first year where Hyppo actually called me at midnight to wish me Happy Independence day... it had been really nice and sweet of him, that he calls me on and off.
He was in Shah alam for his company motivation camp for the past 2 days. His shedule is full of the activities lined up by the company, and at night chilling out with his colleagues.. but nevertherless he still calls me on and off. Makes me love him even more and more... (at least now I know it's worth it to clean his vomit in the middle of the night, and giving him my blanket while I freeze in the middle of the night.)
I think I've been a walking zombie for the whole week... From my last post, I said I was going to go on budget/diet mode.. and I did it today SUCESSFULLY!
Yesterday was a total failure when my colleagues suggested to go eat in Only Mee, the place which sells noodle for RM7.90, and it sucks. But I really didn't feel like eating alone, so I tagged along, and poof..there goes my RM8.
Today had been good..I didn't spend a single cent! I had free nasi lemak on my table when i went to work, so I kept that for my lunch. It was from a really unexpected kind soul. I went asking the whole world about the nasi lemak, and in the end found out it was him..what a pleasant surprise.
Work wise.. it's getting exciting. I find it exciting when there's proposal's to work on. Just that.. hope everything will go by smoothly.
Study wise... I've covered all the subjects 1 round, time to start going through it another round starting tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be well prepared by the time Saturday comes.
I really miss Hyppo... would really wish for a hug now. It has been so tiring in office (it's tiring, but yet I enjoy it..I get the satisfaction from it, and also I enjoy it because I know people are appreciating me for it), and I've been sleeping rather late lately too... I really would need a hug....

Monday Blues
28th August 2006 : 2356
Monday blues…very tired and sleepy… Was just thinking, I have had a good year so far. This year itself I’ve traveled quite a number of places.
In April was my 1st trip out to Spore with Eeyore and his parents. Went there to shop for Eeyore’s winter clothes to bring to Switzerland.
After April, in July we went for my diving trip to Tioman where I’m now a certified open water diver.
Early August, we went up Genting for Jim Brickman’s concert with Vivien and met up with Vivien’s friend there…
And recently last weekend, went again to Spore for Eeyore’s Lipo.
It had been nice traveling with Eeyore… like yesterday when I drove back from Spore back to KL… after we stopped by in Melaka, traffic was slow moving and it was getting boring, sky getting dark, and Eeyore was awake… nice to talk and chat while driving.
Only drawback is, this time around in Spore, I’ve spent 63hours straight wait him.. in between only that 4 hours of his surgery I was not by his side. And now I have to part from him for so sooo many days… Feel like I’m missing something.
My sore throat is making me cough now.. and I’ve just started my Diet mission today.. I’ve found a nice surprise for Hunny’s Bday in 2 months time. Now start budgeting and working my way there… Going to start ta-pau lunch from home, or eat those food from Jusco. Today I bought a packet of meehon goreng from Jusco which only cost RM2. Roti kosong there also RM1 only. Reasonable.. nasi lemak from near my house only cost 80cents.. can tap au. Let’s see how long I can maintain my Diet mission this time around. The last time I diet, I lasted only 1 week before I forgot I was on budget mode.
Day 2 in Spore
The first night there in Spore was horrible… Hyppo was giving loads of problem.
He took his sleeping pills, and that’s when he started to “sleep walk” all over the condo. Finally when he got tired, he went into the room to lie down and sleep. But lying down gave him hiccups. He then tried to vomit, but the only thing which came out is white color flame. He looked really ‘san fu’. As he was already drowsy and heavy on the sleeping pills, I doubt if he remembers what happened that night. After the white white stuff he vomited, he started vomiting blood mix chicken (his dinner that evening). Yucky stuff… He was good enuf to do it in the toilet the 1st few times around. He jst end up vomiting OUT of the basin or around the toilet bowl. He even vomited on my tooth brush. Yucks.. I cleaned up his vomit, throw him back into his bed then I went out to the living room to study. Thinking that’s the end of the story.
Before I could even read finish 2 pages, I heard him hiccupping again *groan*
I went to his room, and his hiccups got so bad that he was like a jelly bean, he somehow slipped onto the floor and sat there. He was in a position where there’s nothing at all to support his neck, and his head keeps lolling around that I prop myself up on my arms and let him rest his head on my sholder. After a while sitting on the floor, miraculously, his hiccups disappeared. Then the next problem began. I couldn’t get him to get up back onto the bed to sleep.
It’s exactly like how I’ll describe a corpse. You can do whatever you want to him, he won’t rebel. He has 1 of his feet beneath his thigh (his legs were tangled up like in a Yoga position), I had to pull his feet out and his feet actually scrapped across the parket floor, but that wasn’t bad enough to wake him. He was not co-operative at all when I kept talking to him trying to get him to wake up for at least 1 minute, and pull himself up the bed. He is probably twice my weight, and I had to drag him up onto the bed. Finally mission accomplished. I was so happy that he’s finally on the bed and sleeping… thought that’s the end.
But no… it was just the beginning, he suddenly jerked up going to throw up big time. I grabbed a plastic bag and shove it to him, he vomited into it. And the vomit came out from beneath the plastic bag!! There’s a hole in the bag *groan*. Shucks…
With that, he held the dripping bag, and float himself into the toilet. Throwing up again all over the wash basin and dripping the bloody vomit all over the toilet floor.
Clearing up the mess after that, almost made me vomit. It’s goo-ey, red…just yucky and it stinks terribly! He poked his finger into his throat and vomit out everything he has to vomit… and gladly enuf, that was the grand finale.. that was already close to 2am!
After I cleaned up everything, I was glad to see that he chose to lie on the bed instead… Glad he didn’t choose to lie on the floor like earlier.
I didn’t feel safe enough to let him sleep alone in the room, I wanted to be near him in case anything happens, so I went to sleep on the floor right at the foot of his bed.
Early in the morning, he decided to wake up at 5am, and he tried to kill me by stepping on me.
That was the drama during Friday night + Saturday early morning.
After breakfast (we tapau Pau’s from the night before), about 12noon, we took cab back to Toa Payoh, to see Andrew’s BIL and the professors who operated on him… They wanted to check him out to make sure he is fine. We had lunch at Toa Payoh too..had Dim Sum.. yummy.
After food, we went back to Cashew Heights to rest a while before going out dinner. I spent the afternoon studying while Andrew went to watch his movies.
About 5pm+ we drove back to 6th Avenue to meet Tina, and she took us to their cousin’s Sally’s place.. Together with Joshua, we had Japanese dinner. Funny thing about Joshua is, he doesn’t like holding my hands.. but he doesn’t mind holding hands with Andrew. Same as Celine…she likes to let me carry her and play with her… but she just refuses to let Andrew carry her. Hehe
After our Japanese dinner, we went back to Sally’s place for a while to wait for Tina to pick us up. I played with Celine a while until she seems to love me so much.. IN the car while driving home, she choose to sit on my lap to let me cuddle her. Such a warm and lovely feeling when she calls “che che” and crawls into my arms.
By the time we got back to 6th Ave, it was already 10pm+ and Andrew started watching his football match while I took a nap.
That 2nd night in Spore, Andrew didn’t have any vomiting problem at all. Just that he still hiccup’s and he was having amnesia. He couldn’t sleep and spent his whole night watching his movies in the living room until 3am+ when he woke me up to ask me to go sleep back in the room (I was sleeping on the sofa).
3am+ he went to bed, I think he barely slept cos I knew he kept getting out of the room and dunno where or what he does. He woke up very early too.. The room was so cold, but I didn’t wanna get up and wake him. He went a pull a miserable little towel as his blanket, and I donated my blanket to him… ended up my feets were freezing the whole night.
I got up, walked around and slept back.. only waking up at 10am and that’s when I bath and followed Andrew out for breakfast nearby Cashew Heights. Had this fishball noodle which tasted totally tasteless.
After breakfast, went back to Cashew Heights to pack up all our stuff while the King Andrew watches movie. But since he already declared himself as a patient, so nvm… I’ll do the packing.
After that, about 12+ we went back to 6th Avenue, go to clinic to meet andrew’s BIL there to change his dressing, and had lunch. This Andrew had to wear this garment around his stomach, like a corset. The minute he left spore, he already removed his garment to let his stomach breath. Started driving back about 3-4pm+ and only arrived back home about 9pm+.
Day 1 of Andrew’s Lipo-selection
Friday, Aug 25, 2006
22:46
Day 1 of Andrew’s Lipo-selection
Here we are in Singapore, Andrew walking up and down the house exercising hoping that it will speed up the recovery process.
We left KL about 6.45am, and he was in a super duper bad mood in the morning. So hot tempered and yelling at me when I said I left my handbag at home. Showed his ‘face’ again when he found out I didn’t make his breakfast for him. Somehow it completely didn’t cross my mind that he was going for an operation that afternoon itself… I just remembered that he loves durian, dad happens to have durian cake at home, dad asked if I wanted to bring some for Andrew. It didn’t cross my mind that durian is heaty and he shouldn’t be eating such food before his operation.
His moodiness and snappishness lasted the whole morning…..
We touched down in Spore about 10am+. Went straight to Tina’s house, parked the car there and took a taxi to Toa Pa Yoh, the clinic there. There were other people there for the Lipo-selection, at 12+ Andrew went for the checkup to test his BP.. he failed! His BP too high so he is unable to do the operation yet. Tina gave him some pills, and he rested while the other went first for the Lipo. Andrew only went in for his Lipo about 4+pm and he only finished about 8pm. I used the time to go walking and roaming the whole Hub in that area.
A little background of his Lipo surgery... He is going for this new technique call Lipo Selection (Different from the traditional Lipo Suction).
What they do first is, numb the whole area of the stomach with anesthetic first, then punch 3 holes on the stomach and fill the stomach with water. After that, they will insert the tube of the machine into the hole. This machine uses sound wave to break the fats in the stomach. The fats will mix around with the water and that's when another tube goes into the stomach to suck the fats mix water out of the stomach. Basicly that's about it. After the surgery, they will sew the wound up, and wear a garment over the stomach (like a corset).
As they have put in alot water into the stomach, Andrew looks bloated. It will take about 3 months for the water to drain itself out from the stomach, and about 6 months to really see the effect of this Lipo suction. He needs to take care of his diet and exercise in order to see the effect and maintain his body. It's more of shaping the body, rather then losing fat's for good.
The area around the clinic, is like Petaling Street area kind of place.. they have many stalls all selling different things, some going for really really cheap. I even bought a jacket for vivien at 5Sing.
I realy wonder how I did it.. but I actually stayed on the streets for so many hours idling around. I’ve never done such thing back in KL before. At 1 point of time , towards evening time, I was dead tired.. That I just went to sit on the bench there and look at people passing by me. It was fun too… like I’m a tourist in a foreign land exploring the area alone.
By the time Tina they all cleaned up the clinic and went for dinner, it was already 8pm+. Just went for dinner at the foodcourt nearby the clinic, then headed back home to bath and rest.
That was when Tina called and reminded Andrew not to sit still.. he has to move around to exercise… and that’s how it all started. This Andrew started walking up and down annoying me..see his backside moving up and down the living room.
Now he’s tired and has resorted to just lie on the sofa behind me… signal from God to tell me to stop blogging and start studying…
Goodnight

My father...
1 minute he’ll come in with the newspaper, and put on my table. Next he’ll go out and cut a whole plate of fruits and put it on my table. Gosh..I just had dinner, how can I stuff anything else inside??. Then next, he will pour some sugarcane or whatever leong cha he has and tells me to drink it. Else, if I’m studying, he go and pour Yomeishu or Chicken Essence for me. Next, he’ll come in with the Astro card, stuff it into the decoder and switch on the tv. Man…
I’m doing my masters common…. I need time to stay home to study, not stay home to watch tv. I wanna relax also I would have gone out to hang out already. Even I wanna stay home to relax, I have my own way of relaxing.
I can be nicely listening to my radio, next minute he comes with the astro card and switch on the tv. TV + radio going on at the same time. GggggRrRrRrrr..cannot tahan.

Flat Butt
I'm now currently taking a break from studying.. not to say I did much studying also, just a few pages *shy*. Reminds me of the time when I was back in Uni, spending my whole night in front of the book, multi tasking between studying and chatting with friends.
Actually I'm quite happy today. First time today I hear my parents concurring on the fact that Hyppo is my Boyfriend. It was in a discussion between my parents, grandma and my aunt.. then halfway 'my boyfriend' was brought up into the picture. My parents refer Hyppo as 'MY Boyfriend'.. it would probably sound silly to others who are reading my blog, but to me it means alot. My dad especially, usually refers Hyppo to as "HIM", or "that guy", or on his best day he will say "Andrew" (Andrew is the 1st guy whom he ever calls by the name.. the others he say he cannot remember their names and will jst give them each a nickname). But today he refers Hyppo as "MY Boyfriend"... and even 'proudly' told my aunt & grandma that 'MY Boyfriend' do come over to eat together with us every once a while.
Before the story of 'MY Boyfriend' came about, it has an even funnier story linked to it.
My dad's big sis from Spore is down in Sban to visit my granny. They were talking about my brother and said that my dad's 2nd sis side of the family (who were having conflict with my dad) is blaming that my dad is strict on us kids. Somehow say that my dad is being strict and won't even allow me to date, and say my bf has a FLAT BUTT, say I potential one day will be forced to run away from home too. The FLAT BUTT phrase really had me laughing none stop.
I do not know whom my aunt is referring to.. I don't know if they were talking about Hyppo, or about my past. I know in the past, many years ago my dad did complain that I was too young to see any guys.. so the aunt could be out-dated and was refering to last time, and not now currently.
That was when my dad defended and said that he never complained about MY BOYFRIEND.. in fact, MY BOYFRIEND even comes to join us for dinner and all that. It was just last week dad was saying that Vince is FLAT BUTT, that he has grown so skinny tat his butt is missing. I guess the story must have twisted somehow along the way...
But come to think of it..Hypo's butt is kinda flat too.
________________________________________________________
11.40pm
I've spent the reminder of my evening yakking on the phone.
Hyppo still MIA.. Since 3pm he went to Sri Petaling with his friends until now he's not back yet. The amount of time I spend with him the whole week, totals up also is not anywhere near the amount of time he spends with his friends.
Think maybe I'm too boring for him... there's nowhere where me & him can go or do things together which last as long as the things he & his frens does. Since 3pm, I couldnt' even talk to him decently yet.. he keeps giving me stupid answers... check this out :
*My 1st call went ring until it went to voice mail, only my 2nd call he answered
W : Where are u
A : Jst finish snooker. Now yam cha. *very quiet environment
W : Where u go yam cha
A : *blabber blabber, he also dunno wat he saying, something about rooftop*
W : Then why so quiet one?
A : Oh..we still in the car
W : So quiet then why didn't pick up my 1st call?
A : phone stuck in my pocket
etc..
Doesn't that already show that he has a problem communicating to me properly? I have to ask 1 question, and he answer's 1 question..and his answers are not accurate, like saying that he is Yam Cha'ing, while he is still in the car!
I think we got communication problem... he dunno how to talk to me, and I dunno how to talk to him.
I wish he won't read my blog, then comment on it again... Wish he can just read it quietly if he wishes to. Or go have his OWN blog where he can write how he feel / think instead of always commenting on MY blog.
Hehehehe I simply blogged those stuff above with the intention to annoy MY Boyfirend. Hunny I Love u.. hehehehe
I suppose end of the day, as long as Hunny is happy, I'm happy too... ;) Already immuned to the fact that he chooses the tv + football + his fren over me.
A typical Man man... hate it & love it.... but i think I love it more, else I won't have choosen him.
BTW, I found back a super duper old friend today. Turns out that we're working in the same company, he was there since year 2004, and me since Apr 2005. But amazing is that we've never met. In the new building, we already moved in for about a month plus, and only last week I thought I saw him walking along the corridor, but wasn't sure if it was him. From the company directory, it shows that we both are supposed to be on the same floor too! Even more amazing that we've never met! Hope can meet up with this dear friend next week...

USB Fan
First of all, miraculously Hunny told me stories about his lunch time activity, about his colleagues, about what's happening in his life. Truely appreciate it ... at least it doesn't make me feel so ulu of not knowing what's happening in his life and not being part of it at all.
That is my happy yappy story of the day... Hunny made my day.
My next happy yappy story......
This evening, we went over to the curve / Ikano that side. Started on the mission to find a USB port fan, and the thai mat / chair which you can sit on and lean on the triangle part. I never knew USB fan exist... I saw it in Gizmoz 1Utama few days ago, and steven told me that computer stalls sell better USB fan. So I started on a USB fan hunt. The one in 1Utama was not so good also, the one me & hunny saw in Curve was fantastic. It was strong, small, portable, and quiet. Fantastico. Mission accomplished!
But I still cannot find the triangular thai mat yet for Hunny...
Tonight for a change, I will jolly well like to have a good night rest and to sleep early. Have been sleeping late until all my pimples are showing. I haven't told my parents that I'm going down Spore next weekend yet also =p Will have to tell this weekend...
Starlight Starbright
Starlight Starbright
It was a nice experience at Starlight cinema last night. Right after work me, hyppo and vivien went to Sentul Park, KLPAC for Starlight - the outdoor cinema festival which will end this week.
When we got there, it was only 6+, booked our 'spot' right in the middle of the field and had our dinner - Mc Donalds. Our movie - Just my luck is only at 8pm, so we had ample time to sit around and eat. Slowly, as time was nearing to 8pm, the field starts to fill up with many many people.. everyone bringing their own mat's and food. Some even brought pillow's.
Amazing enough, it wasn't hot. I expected it to feel humid and hot and sticky.. typical Msia weather. But amazingly, it was rather ok.. I didn't even sweat. You can sit, or lie down to watch the show, and u can do it without blocking anyone behind you..that's the best - nobody blocks anybody.
It was indeed an experience. It's fun also being under the stars (it was rather cloudy last night, not much stars though) and hugging my Hyppo. Taking turns to lie on each other's leg and it was comfortable also.. something different from the cold cold indoor cinema which you are just limited to the space of your chair seat. You cannot lie, u cannot pull yr leg long long, you cannot sit cross legged. But in the open air cinema, you can lie, you can lean back on yr elbow, you can sit with your legs stretched out, sit with your legs crossed etc etc, anyway you want.
See no evil, hear no evil, talk to evil.
17th August 2006 - 11.37pm
Sometimes you cannot help but to notice & start wondering…
Andrew does not believe in talking to me about his life, his work, his friends, his passion... cos i suppose to him it is a GUYS thing, and also cos to him, i'm too stupid to understand what he says, so he has to keep it all as secret. I cannot even ask him 'wat are u doing', cos he will not answer me. I cannot ask who he is with, cos he won't answer me either. He doesn't tell me ANYTHING about what he does, who he hang out with, what they talk, what he did... I think I know even more about my colleagues, more then I know about my own bf!
I believe in sharing, especially with the people I love. I will tell him everything about what happened, anything good, bad.. all. But sometimes when you don’t get the same respond back, it annoys you. I trust he has nothing to hide, but it’s just annoying that I have to keep asking the same question again and again, and he simply beats around the bush to avoid answering my question. I dunno wat’s his purpose of doing it today.. I just asked where he went. He answered he is in the lift. I asked again, he said he went downstairs. I asked AGAIN, he said he was with Po Wai. And I had to ask AGAINNNN, then he very reluctantly say he went to look at car. I simply do not see why he cannot just tell me on the spot, he had to get ppl to ask him the same question so many gadzillion time only he answer.
The best award winning answer I get all the time “it’s a guy thing, you do not understand so why do I bother telling you about it”.
This is one thing I do not understand… if you do not share with me, how do u expect me to understand? I never said I hated football, and I know you love football. So I took the initiative to offer to watch football with you.. but you just pushed me aside and told me to go home, say football is a guy thing which I don’t understand, I get bored and I shouldn’t be watching it, should go home and just leave him alone.
There are lots of things I don’t understand also, that’s why I enjoy mingling around and listen to what others have to say. I know nuts about unit trust, but I still have friends who sits down and explain to me. I also know nothing about the engineering world or business world… but ppl are patient enough to explain to me. So why can’t he? He jst say I'm stupid and that I dunno, means I dunno and I can never know.
I know to him, I’m always dumb, just an idiot. I will always remain as an idiot in his eyes.
I think it is a sign from God, telling me to stop blogging about him, as out of the blues he just called me up while I was halfway typing. Never has he called me at nite at all in the past few nights, and tonight is THE nite he called.

Hot hot sunday noon
It’s the time of the day where I cannot concentrate at all on my assignments / studies. It’s hot outside, and it’s making me sleepy and tired. All I feel like doing is to just sleep and sleep and sleep.
Something crossed my mind yesterday evening. I watched this Hong Kong drama the day before, and it features this girl who is successful in career, has the looks, has the $$ and yet she is single, and not committed to anyone. She has her own apartment, and as she’s not committed to anyone, she is free to do whatever she pleases and to date whomever she wishes. With her looks and money, she can easily get which ever guys she pleases but she’s enjoying all the freedom of being single.
At some point of time in the past when I didn’t have anyone beside me, I did envision myself to be leading such life. Told myself .. if I can have career, money and I can flirt with any guy I please (have a variety of different guys to pamper me), so why I wanna box myself up to commit myself with 1 guy, get married and start a family?
In fact, during that point of time I was indeed really going out with different guys and not wanting to commit into any relationship’s at all. Initially it was fun, hanging out with different people, no commitment, all just for the sake of fun.. but later it started to sux.
I realize that I want someone solid and real to be with me. I want someone whom I can tell and share everything with. That’s when I met my Evil Monster… my prince charming who swept me off my feet.
A real devil in disguise is he. He showed me that nothing is impossible when he managed to quit smoking. He thought me what is called give and take when we both have to compromise with each other. It was great having him around.
Like when I was sick once with high fever. During lunch time he took me to the clinic, bought porridge for me to eat and took care of me as I rest in his house for the rest of the afternoon.
How the many times when I was sad / angry / disappointed / scared (especially during that time when I was terrified of diving), how he will reach out and give me comforting hugs and assure me that diving is not scary and that I swim well like a mermaid.
How when I’m looking for a companion for breakfast / meals and he’ll always be there to accompany me and give me a lift to anywhere I wanna go.
I’m really lucky to have met Evil Monster. He showed me what love is really all about.

An Evening with Jim Brickman
There's Me, Prof Khoo, Ah Boy, Long Neck and Alvin. We went to Ampang for Seafood dinner. In the place there itself, we bump into Ah Beh... It has been almost 4 years since I last saw him. The gathering was great and fun.. Stuffed and very full with the seafood too.
Saturday.....
After my classes and all, Me & my sis followed Eeyore up to Genting about 3pm. First we were jst lepaking and walking around in 1st world, when we saw ppl up the stage... Found out that it was Jim Brickman's autograph session going on on the stage. Straight away Eeyore bought his CD which was on sale, and we got his autograph on the CD.
From there we picked up Vivien's fren from 1st world hotel and we seperated for a while... they went for the indoor theme park when me & Eeyore went into the Casino. Eeyore won abit of $$, manage to pay for all our expenses while we were in Genting, and also this wonderful jacket to wear.
AFter that, we met back up for dinner together and headed to Arena of Stars for an evening with Jim Brickman.
It was a great evening of listening to love songs and all. I've always found Jim Brickman's music a little simple.. that it sounds plain if he were just to play the piano without any vocal's singing.
Honestly, the concert wasn't as good as I expected it to be... This is 1 concert that from day 1 I've met Hyppo, he already said he liked Jim Brickman's song, said that he never got a chance to watch him in concert. Finally this year, we both got a chance to go watch him for FOC. There's that few songs of his which is ever famous, songs which includes vocals in it like Valentine, Destiny, this Gift.. those are the best! I prefered the original version of the songs we hear on radio & CD, rather then what was showcased in the concert. But however, it was still a good concert.

Lantern Festival and Doulos ship
Last week was full of crap.. Office work is as usual. A colleague went for plastic surgery for her chin, leaving me with some works which I have to back her up also. On top of all that, every night last week I had to drive thru the jam and get myself to Bkt Jalil for my Master classes.
Classes this time around I think it’s ok, at least not as crappy as my 1st Module – BCI. This time around, I took up a database class – EDS, subject wise it is less crappy but the lecturer is full of crap. The amount of strategic planning games, team building games he comes up with.. my goodness. It’s fun in a way, but then after work have to squeeze yr mind to think of answers and how to play the games..sometimes feel it’s abit waste of time. Better to save the time, finish up the lecture then go home early.
Back to my ‘gempak’ weekend. After a whole week of endless classes after work, I got my Friday off. No classes on Friday, but I still ended up in Bkt Jalil somehow. Went to this Lantern Festival with Eeyore. Before that, we went to Sri Petaling and tried out this Korean restaurant. Very cute place. Eeyore ordered this beef dish… First they came up with multiple small plates with sour’ish dishes or vege’s, patato’s, cucumber, long beans. Then they cook the beef on the hot plate right in the middle. We were dip the beef in some sauce, use the vege to wrap up the beef (like popiah), but salad and chilli inside..and then eat it.
While blogging, there’s many distractions… halfway promoting Eeyore’s condo..hope someone will rent it. A uni friend is now working in TPM, mentioned that his colleagues are looking for a place nearby to rent, he saw my caption on the condo to rent so he asked me for more info. Just hope it’ll be good news.
You know… on Friday I had some documents which needs this guy to sign, but he’s in Seremban. He told me to leave it in his locker, on the phone I heard he said locker 234. So I went to locker 234, I didn’t see his name card on it, but I just didn’t bother I took the documents and dump it in there. Today after a whole morning of hu-hah… about 5pm, he told his secretary that he didn’t see any doc’s in his locker. My goodness…Of cos…I know the document won’t just simply grow legs and walked away. Definitely it must have been me who placed it in the wrong locker number. If I lose the document, I better be off dead. From 18th floor, while walking, I kept praying. Prayed that I can still retrieve the document. Lucky enough… really very lucky enough, I dumped it in locker 234, and the guy’s actual locker is 224. It even has his namecard stuck onto locker 224. And even luckier, locker 234 is not owned by anyone. The keys to the locker is still stuck onto the locker, so I can easily jst turn the key, open the locker and retrieve the doc. OH man…very darn lucky. Somemore, I even wonder how come I didn’t notice the key stuck onto the locker when I dump the document inside on Friday? Whatever it was, I really thank God that it’s still there.
Back to my weekend… After the Korean dinner, we went for the lantern festival.. nothing much to see, but it was fun to walk see with Eeyore. Moreover bcos of the classes, I haven’t seen him for a whole long week, and I already miss him. In the festival, there’s this super duper long dragon, made up of porcelain cups, plates, spoon, saucer cups all held into place by strings. Amazing.
There’s a humongous Twin Tower made up of little recycled bottles, filled up with coloured waters just to illustrate the color of Twin Tower. Another one was this huge 2 pheonix bird, made out of those silk cocoons. There’s a few other things which I don’t quite remember. And of cos there’s the other huge buildings and designs they made using paper / plastic, and it was lighted up at night, so it simply looks great.
Well, those is wat I did on Friday. Saturday, it’s the usual.. teach in the morning, and I had classes in the afternoon. After class, when I reached Jln Gasing, I spotted a huge gigantic clear rainbow streaking the sky… I got so excited that I couldn’t drive properly. Straight away went to shiv’s place, took her camera and we started snapping photo’s of the rainbow, and ourselves in it too.. It only lasted for about 5-10minutes before it started to fade. It was a full complete rainbow, and it was very distinct also. When I get hold of the pic, I’ll load it up. I’ve spent my Saturday night lazing around at home. Bro was home, so it was an evening of just lepak around.
Sunday, again..another day of classes. After class, in the afternoon, I followed Eeyore and Audrey’s family over to Port Klang to visit the Doulos ship…
When I was young, I have been onto Doulos ship before, and I was always under the impression that it’s a huge gigantic, mighty ship with tons and tons and tons of books, puzzles and all sort of stuff from around the world.
But when we went up the boat on Sunday… I was thinking “this is it? That’s all?”. It was smaller and simpler then what I’ve always imagined.. there isn’t even jigsaw puzzles on sale… but anyway, just for the fun of it, again it was great traveling there and spending time together with Eeyore and Audrey’s family.. esp with the 2 cute a-pet (audrey’s kids).
Now it’s already past midnight.. tomorrow a hectic day again.. Tuesday’s is always the crazy day for endless reports… and it has started raining too…
