Wiiiii!!! Toys!!!!!!

Ok.....i made a good chunk of change from the sale of the PS3's. Lets see, i sold it the morning i collected the unit and got paid on the spot. Whats sad was that, the very next day, the profit margin on Ebay for PS3's drop about $500 bucks. Total time, i hold the PS3's for about 20 seconds because the buyers wanted to follow me to the store to collect it.I guess i got lucky by dumping those ASAP before the price crash. But in any event, with the money i made, i bought a Nintendo Wii, a notebook and a future PS3 when its easier to get it on the market. Wiiiiiiii!!!!

My new Nintendo Wii....



Nintendo's controllers, a wii-more and nanchucks!!



My arms are actually sore from playing it because you move the controllers to trigger movement from the screen. Currently i am playing Zelda and its pretty fun.

And finally, my notebook.....

Playstation 3 update!!

Ooooh....this is very exciting. Since i put my PS3's online, i have been getting offers like mad. I won't say how much now coz i am closing the deal with people tomorrow.
But as of now, all i can say is that my profit is about 1 pay checks worth. Will update tomorrow. I've also ordered Nintendo Wii, and if that one is in demand also, i probably sell it as well. :)

Sitiawan mentality rawks!!!

Coming from a very money minded town....here is a story of a local Sitiawan boy's adventure in Seattle yesterday.Ok....i came back from the gym yesterday at around 7.15pm....put some smoked mussels into the microwave, ate my dinner and proceed to the computer. I checked some videogame bulletin boards and found out that videogame shops are taking pre-order for PS3 the next day. What did i do?? Out of curiosity......i called one of the shops and they told me that they are having a midnight pre-order and there was no line because not many people know about it. I literally stop forumming and dash out the door. I got to the shop at about 8.00pm and i was first in line. Whooo Hooo!!! Hang out with some really cool Uni kids there soon afterwards. Anyway, at 12.01 am......i got my orders in.

Anyway, i went home and went to bed. Got up at about 6.00am....shaved and shower, and am on my way to the mall again to go to another store to pre-order a PS3. Malls here opened up early for people to do morning walks in them. Thus after driving around the mall a couple of times, i ask security where is the entrance for the walking walks and was shown the way. Anyway, i turn the corner and Jeng! Jeng! Jeng! there was no one in line and i was first in line again!!!!! Life is good.

Now for those of you who don't know, new videogames launch are hot commodities during Christmas time. Xbox360 went for almost 3-4x its retail price on Ebay. So the reason i am doing this is i hope to make some extra money selling them. Its been predicted that price could go as high as $2000 for each console on Ebay. Too bad i can't be at 2 places at one time coz i would have ordered more. Oh....i put down $100 and the PS3 is going to cost $600. Oh....called my boss this morning telling him i am not coming in today. Hehehhehehehe.....

Got a free Ipod!! Yeeee Hawww!!

Got the new Ipod Nano 2G for free last week. How? Well, one of the banks here had a promotion whereby if you open a checking account with them,they give you one for free.
So i deposited in $50 and get a $150 dollar gift!! How cool is that??
Use to have an Ipod but sold it....but since this was free.....why not?
Ah....life is good!!! :)

To all my coupled friends back home!!!

Every since i went overseas in 98, i would have to say that i have missed all of my friends wedding back home. Its really no big deal but when i think about it but i do wish i could have attended some weddings.I have to admit.....save me money from kena-ing saman!!! Hhahaahhaa.....To all of my friends that have wedded over the years, here's a long overdued "Congratulations!!" for having found your best friend.

To future ones.....sorry ah....still kenot attend.....but i do wish you well.
But for all the weddings that i've missed, i hope to attend your wedding anniversary down the road though!!! Here a wish of all good things to you all!!!

I want a Tag so baaaad......but like my money better!!

I've always like Tag Heuer watches, especially the one shown on top. As nice as it is, i just could never justify the USD$1200 price. I think it costs too much for a time piece that tells me the time. Would you buy a watch for that price?
But.....i've made myself a deal.....if i ever get my greencard in my hands, i will go ahead and buy a Tag for myself as a gift for finally reaching one of my life's goal.
I will wait patiently for it then. Sheesh.....all my life been waiting for that thing!!!!

Waaaaa!!! Getting old!!!!!

Went to the mall this evening and walked for 1 1/2 hours non-stop. Legs started to get sore...back start aching.....sniff! sniff!! getting old already....here pain...there pain....so sad. When i finally sat down....feels like a 1000 year old body resting...feels so bloody good. Worst thing of all....i am only 32....Waaaaa!!!!!
Somemore workout 4x a week....still feel like shit after walking like that!!!
Remind me to not go hiking for i will end up dead in the tracks!!!

Differences......

As most of you know, i was active in church at one point in time.
With that in mind.....i would say that 90% of my friends back home in Msia are till today, i think, practicing Christains. So i was looking thru some pictures and the thought came into my mind....would these friends of mine still treat me as who i am.
Especially those who i knew thru the ever famous DUMC church. I've know a lot of people from there and if i ever return home, i would love to see them again but would they overlook the fact that i do not share the same belief as them anymore. I know of some good friends that i am sure that will still be my friends no matter what. But till then....only time will tell......:)

God of Abraham and world peace?

Saw an article in the Seattle Times today that
pretty much sums up how i felt after going thru my own
life experience in regards about the main religions of the world.
So far...buddhists are the most peaceful one around imho.

Jewish Federation, Hezbollah, Mel Gibson, the war in Iraq, 9/11, Taliban, Northern Ireland, Aryan Nation, Bosnia, apartheid, Iran, the Mossad, the Six-Day War, the Holocaust, missionary abuse of indigenous people, Spanish Inquisition, Crusades, on and on and on.

The Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths all derive from worship of the God of Abraham. Taken together, these three religions have offered nothing but war, death and destruction for some 3,000 years.

Fear not the WMDs. Fear the people who claim to know God.

Fatty interested in Kiteboarding???

After 8 years living where i live, i found out that there was a man-made island that is about 5 miles away from me that is frequent by many locals. To go to the island, you take a 3 1/2 min free ferry ride. Anyway....i went there this weekend and saw some people kiteboarding. Damn....that looks like something i can take up. Sure looks like hell lot of fun and pretty cool activity. Now i really want to try it out but afraid because its an extreme sport and fatty a bit paiseh to take it up. But it sure looks like fun. Nevermind....next year....i go ahead and pick up that sport. Need to save some money for the gears and at least a course to get myself familiarized with the sport. Watch out....here comes a flying dinosaur!!! Kekekekkekee!!!

Colorado No More!!!

Whoooo Hoooo!!! No need to go liao!! No need to go liao!!
Was reluctant to go in the first place because if i had gone....means have to spend 2 weeks cleaning up other people's system and from what i heard its a mess over at that project. Turn over of the analysts on that project is high because they don't know the system well and seems unable to handle it. So i feel happy not going. But do want my balloon ride a little though but nevermind....next year i go there myself for summer!!!

Going to Colorado on Monday.

Got a call this evening and was told that i needed to go to Colorado to help out another project for 2 weeks. Sigh....don't like working assignments like this but no choice...have to go. Went online and see whats there to offer and found that there is a hot balloon ride there....costs about $200...hmmmmm...very tempting to experience a once in a lifetime event.....in any event....will definately make full use of the time there. Hopefully, if i go on the balloon...no disaster will happen.

Backseat Driver Manual.

Every once in a while, an ad catches your eye and you go like....Wow, now thats creativity. I was flipping thru my Wired magazine and came across this ad by VolksWagen. Its a manual for Back Seat Drivers. Normally i would just throw this out but this time...VW did it. This is the manual itself.



Its absoutely hilarious when you read thru the manual. You get trained as your responsibility as a backseat driver. Some of the responsibilty includes:
1) Food Distribution.
2) Blind Spots.
3) Car to car communication.
4) Monitoring Fluid Intake.
If you have time....download the entire manual. Its a blast to read.
http://www.gloomville.com/Files/Backseat.pdf

Of course...after all your trainning, you must have a certification and
in the manual, it comes with a ID card that states you are the official backseat
driver.



VW definately hit a home run with this promo. I've even called them up today to ask if i can obtain more copies of the manual so that i can send to friends.
So if you want one(no promises), sign up and i'll try to see if i can get you a copy.
I think its great for a company defensive driving trainning or something.

Ku Ku Chiao

Hahahaha....those were the days.
Recapping all my childhood profanities does bring back memories....here are some...
1) Ku Ku Chiao - I think parents use this one first.
2) Kotek - Not sure where this comes from, must be from the Kotex commercial.
3) Neng Neng - Our first exposure to breasts. :p
4) CCB - Must be from the Simpang Dua kids that taught me that word.
5) NWS - Same bloody Simpang Dua kids that corrupted my fragile mind.

There...your walk down memory lane for the day!!!! Now if you'll excuse me....i've gotta to deal with the pricks and assholes. :p

Itchy and Scratchy

This has got nothing to do with that show but thought itchy and scratchy describes my story best today. Heheheheheehe......Anyway.....on with the show. I went to a Japanes Buffet yesterday afternoon and had a wonderful time whacking sushi's,seafood and more sushi.
They have this excellent salt and pepper prawns with head still in tact and a lot of orange brains to suck on. So i think i must have whack about 10-20 of those. Anyway.....i got home and Jeng! Jeng! Jeng!.....start to feel itchy. Damn.....i must be allergic to those prawns.....but since its been 6-7 hours since my lunch, i thought that the worst was over. Boy oh boy, was i wrong.....somewhere at 12am....hives kicks in....ichiness was all over me, i was scratching like mad and i can't sleep. Then it hit me.....i got an Epipen in hand(basically it gives you a shot of epinephrine to ease the reaction). Thus....i quickly went for it....and i have never used it before.

You basically jab the epipen into your thighs and it will deliver the shot. So being a n00b......paiseh..paiseh....i was looking at it trying to figure out how it works.....and all of a sudden....pop.....FUCK!!! The needle activated, shots fired and here i am.....out of Epipen to take the shot. FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! . When i saw the needle.....shit....thats some mean looking mother fucking needle. Seeing that needle also make me scared.......i don't think i want to jab myself with that. So sadly....went to bed....feeling itchy and scratchy.....:( But its ok now....slept in for extra 2 hours and went to office late.

Anyway...here are some pictures of the Epipen......shit.....can't believe i am suppose to jab myself with that. The pen has been activated.....so in its original form....you don't see the needle.

This is the size compared to a regular pen.



This is how big the damn needle is.


Sad to say but this Purple D is afraid of needle.....

My Alma Mater Forum = Fight Club ???

As admin for my alma mater's forum....here are some pictures i find reflects best when conflict occurs there.....sigh.....even after years of leaving school......kiddy fights still occur.....
Its funny,annoying,serious,childish,pathetic and most of all.....makes life for the moderators and admin of the forum very "interesting". I need to remind myself that on the whole, every single member has a good heart. Its my hope that all members see it this way. Its been an interesting roller coaster ride. Sigh......if you'll excuse me, i need to put on my fire-fighting suit and get ready for another round of conflict. :p

Telling your "Pengurusi" to go "Tieu"!!!

Hari ini ya....gua punya "Pengurusi" suruh saya that dia mahu saya buat kerja baru untuk syarikat laaa......Saya taruh dia....cakap....sudah lima tahun saya buat kerja ini,kerja itu......gaji pun macam celakak punya.....saya tak mahu buat lebih kerja kalau mereka tak cepatkan process kad hijau saya. Cakap pada dia....apa motivasi untuk saya nak buat itu punya kerja kalau saya tak dapat setitik tahi daripade syarikat ini? Saya tak boleh tahan daaaa.....kalau tak bagi kad hijau.....saya balik "kampung" dan mereka boleh cari lain orang buat kerja saya. Sudah 5 tahun saya tanya untuk kad hijau ini.....tak nak buat...sudah.....awak orang boleh pergi main layang-layang!!!

Akhirnya.....pengurusi cakap pada HR untuk cepatkan process kad hijau saya dan HR cakap mereka sudah nak hantar borang itu kepada immigrasi. Dan bila pengurusi cakap berita itu pada saya.....saya cakap.....kalau nak saya buat kerja baik-baik....you all better keep your promise....kalau tidak.....good luck cari orang lain buat kerja saya.

Good ol days of arcade action!!!

Ok....so i was surfing the web a few weeks ago and came across this game, Raiden III.
Shit....this was the game series in which when i was in KL pucker down all my money just
to finish playing it. And to my happiness, this PC version of Raiden was excellent. I was waiting anxiously for it for weeks now...and i finally had it in my hands. Since it was an original game from Japan(only Japan has it), i figure what the heck...might as well spend some money and play a game that i love when i was in KL. I went ahead and bought a joypad also....all i can say, i feel like a little kid again, and its so worth it to be able to relive the good ol days. This is what gaming is all about....good gameplay.....now if you'll excuse me....i'll go and get my hands sore!!

Black Humour...

Ok......04/01/06 means 2 different things.
It means 4th Jan 06 to some and it means 1st April 06 to others.
Guess what.....since i am used to the American system.....i say its 1st April 2006.
Thus explaning my story today of why i fail to land in Canada today coz i landed on an
expired visa. How stupid is that?? Shit...imagine if i had flown from Texas to Canada for 1 week vacation....it would be pretty fucked up!!! Ironic thing.....after so many years, this is very ironic as i feel that this is an April fools joke played on me by someone. I am laughing and pissed at the same time....all i can say today is......if this is some sick joke someone is playing, its funny but hell....just go fucked yourself after you've done laughing!!!!

Be right back

Gloomville will be back in business soon.
More exciting.....maybe not.....more umph....probably not....
but one thing for sure.....if i don't get my fat ass up to continue to blog,you all are gonna get tired of watching bellies and dicks!!!

Dino's 3 weight loss tips!!

Got tag today for some Meme thing Lilian had.....so here's my 3 tips for loosing weight.
Bottomline of loosing weight....input and output....less input and more output = weight loss....no "magik" pill or anything like that.....

1) Don't eat so much...eat enough just to make yourself feel comfortable. If you really want to see fast results, eat enough till you are only a little hungry.
2) Excercise! Excercise! Excercise! even 1/2 hour helps...
3) Eat more vegetables and fruits....the best thing about fruits is that you'll feel full without the huge calories like in rice and meats.

There you go....3 tips......start loosing weight or you'll end up like the 3 guys above!!

Wrinkle cream that works??

Ok.....was looking myself in the mirror the other day and notice some wrinkles under my eye.......so i was curious if those commercials about such cream would work. Anyway, went online and found out that Neutrogena one has rave reviews. I normally don't believe these crap so in order to satisfy my curiosity.....i head over to Bartells(drugstore) and bought me one of this.....So i put it on....its now day 4 and guess what.....it bloody works......i don't believe it...it bloody works.....of course i don't have old people wrinkles but i can clearly see the lines dissapearing.....so all you ladies who are reading this......i am being a guinea pig here for you and i am telling you this thing works. The cream does make your skin more feel sensitive(like a little burning sensation) but its ok.....so head out and get rid of thos wrinkles....Oh it costs me $15.99......

Nude picture of me!!

Ok laaa...after much pressure for you guys, i decided to post a naked picture of me. Hope you find it attractive!!! Mind you, it took a lot of guts to do this for all of you to see!! Btw, my balls is behind my penis!!! I think if you click the picture, you get a bigger one. Anyway, hope you all are happy now. Don't fantasize about me ok.... :p

Got my Christmas present!!

I finally got my Christmas present today. I have always wanted to get a compact light camera, you know, the one where i can actually fit in my front pocket and take it anywhere i go. So today, i was surfing the web, i stumble upon some coupons which basically brought the camera down to $300. So i bit the bullet. So far.....its a great little camera(Casio Exilim- EXZ750. Its a very nice camera and i am glad with the results. This means i may be posting more pictures on my blog since i can carry this around. Maybe pics of food...hehehe.... Anyway, now that shopping's done...i may just take this camera for a spin this weekend. Should be interesting!!! :)

Return of the White Shit of Washington!!!

Ok....finally.....the white shit sticks!!! And i went out in my shorts to write something on the pavement. Muahahahhaaha!! Yes it was cold but i was too lazy to put on my long pants.....so just hurry up and take a picture. I am glad i am not working today. Hate driving in the snow. Some of the snow already turn into slush and its sure is dirty. Anyway.....i left my mark in the snow today.....now i am going back to take a nap and eat some Triscuit!!!

Thinking of storm watching!!

Was in the dentists office the other day and saw an article about Storm Watching here in the NorthWest.....and then i got the bug to go see it.Maybe go to Oregon or more towards the west of Washington. So will be watching out for the weather report and keep an eye out for storms. Also was told that another good activity to do is after the storm, people comb the beach to see what the storm brought it. All this sure is exciting me. Well, will post pictures if i do get to do it.
:)

What the F is Ju-Ju-Be??

What the fuck is Ju-Ju-Be?? Thats my thought when i was in the asia store yesterday and saw a lot of people picking up this up. Ok...its a fruit but what is it? So anyway, i thought if so many people buying it, it must be good...so i bought it....at $1.49 a pound, i really can't go wrong. And when i got home, i quickly open up the package and pop one into my mouth.....damn.....its damn nice.....light and sweet....reminded me of jambu taste. Then i took another one out and it tasted familiar.....and then it finally hit on me...this is the fresh Chinese Red Dates. You know the one you put into peanut soup and such. So now i know how fresh chinese dates taste like and i like it. I am begining to suspect that jambu and this fruit are related.......

Blame Canada!! Blame Canada!!

Everytime someone mentions Canada, i am always reminded of South Park the Movie, Blame Canada song!! So that explains the title for today's blog. But it does not explain why i choose Canada today. Well, my attorney just informed me that my application for a Canadian PR has been approved and that i can land and work in Canada anytime after my passport is being stamped. This means that in any event that i get laid off or if anything should happen on the US side, i can always hope over the border and see how it is. I don't really intend to return home to Msia but then again, if i have enough money to pay off a house in Msia and car......may consider moving back. If the house and car is paid off, all your income is basically yours and life should be pretty good after that.......So YAY! i got my Canadian PR(backup plan) and that also puts me in a better position job wise....:)

Back to work tomorrow!!! Waaaaa!!

After 2 weeks of not dealing with any work related stuff, its with a heavy heart to say that it has all come to an end. Oh well, i had a good break and also kinda bored of not having much to do with my free time. But fear not....i will be having another week of vacation at the end of November for Thanksgiving. Definately looking foward to that one for sure. Oh well, all good things must come to and end. Also, you may also notice that i put ads in my blog now...i don't think i will get any money from it coz traffic quite slow but what the heck....just for the fun of it ok....:p

Got tickets to Def Leppard and Bryan Adams

Ever since 1987, i've always wanted to attend the concert by Def Leppard. I missed my opportunity when they came to Malaysia in 1994 because was a broke student then......so when i got back from vacation this week, was looking what's going on round where i live, to my surprise, i saw that Def Leppard is performing in a stadium less than 2 miles where i live. At first i hesitated because of the $59 dollar ticket price, but then again, i figure, when can i have a chance again to see these guys perform live. I also use to like Bryan Adams back then and he's performing with them. So basically 2 concerts for the price of one.....Sigh....only sad thing is that i will be going alone for this one because i don't think any of my friends would like them but who the heck cares, i am still going despite all of this.

Home sweet home!!

After 6-7 hours of plane ride, i am finally home. Sigh!!! So nice to be home with all my stuff and my realible broadband!!!! I still have one week to kill, so thats a good thing. Have not figure out what i want to do this week, was thinking about going downtown Seattle and do a little exploring but when i look at what is there to do....reality hits me....nothing to do.....all the sights i have been to is pratically boring as hell. Hmmm......but i'll figure out something!!!

Fog-get it!! I'm Leaving!!!

Ok.......make the decision today to cut short my vacation 3 days. Why? Look at the picture on top, rain,rain,rain and more rain. And it'd never did stop raining. I would put this vacation i had as a so-s0 one. First, fall colors like premature ejaculation, the coast of Maine like watching porn instead of having sex...... and the rest of the trip like impotency of old age. Weather will be like this in New England for the whole week and into next week!!! What can i do? I have to either stay in hotel or get wet visiting these places!! Sigh!!! So woke up this morning, cancel all my other reservations and heading off home to Seattle tomorrow. Dem fuck up i tell ya. Oh well, at least i've see a little fall foilage, tasted so much lobster till i am tired of it and saw a scenic lighthouse in Maine. Better than nothing.....but at the end of the day, my vacation could have been so much better. All George Bush's fault!!!

Had a great time today.

Finally, after much digusts, i had a good day.To my surprise, there is a lighthouse in Portland about 8 miles from my hotel, which had the most pretty lighthouse in US. I am glad i brought along my travel books. The sight of this lighthouse is fantastic and this makes up for all the fustration i had yesterday!!! Was so happy to have found this one!!

To add to a perfect day, i met up with Sila in New London. It was a surprise as i didn't know she was that close to the hotel i was staying at. She went out of her way to find me a great seafood place named Abbot's. This is probably the authentic seafood you get in New England. Glad i had it and the great hosts make it even better. Thanks Sila.

Holiday going down the drain!!!!

Shit....my holiday is going down the toilet. Why???
First of all, the fall colors not really there yet, today, wanted to see lighthouse and coast of Maine and guess what happen??? Fog!!! Fuck i tell you. Came all the way and can't see jack shit on the coast. The lighthouse also cannot see. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Tomorrow, driving down to Connecticut to New London.....suppose to meet up with Sila but not sure if i can make it there on time or not. Anyway, also i am fed up of lobsters now. Had lobsters stew for lunch and then lobster rolls for tea time. I don't want to eat anymore lobsters......waaaaaa!!!!!

Finally seeing some real fall colors....

Went of a 5 hour train ride today and the views were pretty good. I can't imagine how nice it would look when fall is in full bloom. Maybe need to go back and visit this next year again. In any event, it was very relaxing.....no need to think of work or anything....nice!!! Anyway, here is a nice picture which i took today. Enjoy!! :)

New England vacation.

My first vacation for the year. Was hoping to see the fall foilage in New England but i think i came too early and trees were pretty damn green. Sigh!!! Nevermind....live and learn.
Anyway, i hope to blog more on this trip but shall see how it is. Got lost while trying to find the hotel today. Boston International Airport is very,very confusing. I landed at about 6.00pm and somehow got to my hotel at 8.00pm coz the dem road has so many bloody turns. Anyway, enjoy the view from the Harbor....from a further distance than the pic in the forum. ;p

Holy Crap....Kansas has the best damn BBQ!!!!

Ok....back from my trip......did not sleep well for 2 days or so.......eyes a little bit burning.
Anyway, yesterday, one of the managers took us out on a BBQ at a place called Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ......shit.....that has got to be the best damn BBQ i have ever tasted. Also, the baked beans that they have.....i almost crap in my pants to as how good it was. If all beans can be prepared that way.....i can be vegeterian already.
And yes, for all those of you who has the nagging thought of, what about your diet.....for your infomation, i have lost about 10pounds since i started it a month ago. So i am still doing fine on my diet. I actually had a great time in Kansas with other people from my company and although, i will have to recover from my lack of sleep,i should be ok. I am heading out to the East Coast again on Sunday to New England for my vacation, so have to go thru the plane ride all over again. Sigh!! So its great to be back.

Going to Kansas City this week.

Going to Kansas City tomorrow for trainning. Feeling really shitty about it. Why? Because i dislike going to any company function and have to go thru the formality of introducing yourself to the rest of the people and am a representative of my program. Sigh!! Dem tu lan feeling i tell you!! Also, i dislike going thru security in the airport these days. Have to be there early and have to wait and wait and wait!!! Sheesh..........

P.Ramlee??

Recently, i've have an interests to watch old P.Ramlee movies. I still think that he's the best director Malaysia ever had. I think its pathetic that Malaysia has not release a single DVD of good quality from this director. I am sure these will sell well. A lot of us grew up watching his Ali Baba and Do-Re-Mi stories and the "Cubaaa-an" shows....LOL.....i have vague memories of his show, but would love to have all his movies in my DVD collection. I think instead of wasting time censoring all 18sx crap.....the entertainment industry should keep P.Ramlee's work alive. Now, if the DVD of his movies exists, let me know ya.....but in the meantime, i can only think back to wheni was a kid watching his shows with my family and laughing together!!!

Thinking of retiring Gloomville!!!

Keeping up with the blog is not easy. So i am thinking of retiring this blog. Sometimes dunno what to write about. Most of the time i feel shy to talk about things. For a short time, while doing this, it did give you readers an idea about who i am. I shall see if i have more stories to tell, but for now, retiring is an option. But i shall see what happens.

BBQ Cancelled!! :(

Was suppose to have a company BBQ today but was cancelled because of rain!! Sniff! Sniff! Was actually looking foward to the beef thats dropping off the bone,slow cooked chicken and endless magarita's!!! Sigh!!! But weather today is bad, raining so kena cancelled. :( Also i was curious what kinda lucky draw prizes they had. But nevermind...be strong....its only food!!! :(

Anyway, to make up for it, i went to an italian restauraunt and had Chicken with White Wine sauce and to top it off, Cold Stone Creamery ice cream to have Banana Caramel Crunch(See below). If you don't know, Cold Stone is a new trend of ice cream stores in the US whereby they mix ice-cream with the topping of your choice on a cold slab of stone. Yup, they put the ice-cream on a stone and mix it there and then. Sure taste bloody good. Tomorrow have to go back to dieting again!! Oh well, life goes on!!!

Diet update!!

Ok...its been 2 weeks since i started my diet. Lost about 5 pounds already!!! Pants already fitting me better!!Shit, its dem difficult i tell you. Secret of success(if you can call it success!!! Muahahahhaha!!!), eat more vege and fruits and cut down on meats and carbs.

First week, dem susah....always hungry....but after a while, your body just gets used to it.
Right now, if a little hungry, its a good thing. Important note, breakfast is very crucial. You have to at least eat something for breakfast, i had cereal with soy milk. Love it! Lunch and dinner.....pile my plate with about 85% vege and 15% meats. Its not too bad.
Went to asian store today and bought more vege for the week. Onwards to the 3rd week!!!

Bahagian kedua cerita babi betina butuh!!

Sekarang hari minggu, saya nak cerita pasal babi di tempat kerja saya. Sebenarnya, babi ini ialah seorang lelaki. Dia gemuk, gigi macam tahi anjing dan muka macam berang punya punggung!
Saya tak suka dia kerana perangai dia betul-betul uji saya punya perasaan. Setiap kali kalau saya ada masalah dengan network, bila saya tanya dia, dia cakap "Apa Mahu??" Babi celaka, sudah 5 tahun kerja dengan babi ini, dia lagi bagi perangai macam butuh!! Bukan itu saja, dia selalu cakap, "Senang saja, hari ini saya betulkan masa-alah itu" tapi sampai sebulan dia semua pun tarak buat!! Selalu kata dia tahu, tapi otak macam tempoyak tahi!!! Bodoh sungguh babi butuh ini!!

Lu orang tengok gambat babi di atas...nah...itulah dia kalau saya guna anak panah kat dia.
Sejak kawan saya di syarikat tinggalkan syarikat, dia ambil separuh punya kerja kawan saya. Itulah kerana kawan saya kerja kat network, saya takut nanti babi ini nampak tulisan ini dan buat kacau kat saya!!! Nasib baik, Isnin ini tak ada kerja. Saya tak nak tengok muka babi ini!!

I am tired of listening about Katrina and God on TV!

Well, i still see people on TV that talks about God saving their lives and Katrina, i get annoyed!! But my collegue today showed me a link to James Randi site and i thought what he mentioned about this subject is exactly what was on my mind when i hear such things.

Quote from James Randi:

"I felt badly when I discovered that hurricane Katrina, in brushing by us on her way to Louisiana, had brought down two beautiful and very old trees here at the JREF. Losing electric power – both here and at my home – for a few days, was a nuisance. However, the subsequent wide-scale devastation of other parts of our country makes us at the JREF feel fortunate. This page was turned out with some difficulty, but here it is.

In passing, I have to ask if our President has seen fit to blame God for the thousands of dead innocents, the loss of property that made millions homeless, the displacement and separation of families, the destruction of fine buildings and the general damage to our way of life – which took place and continues to take place despite his assurance that he’d prayed to God – begged for mercy – about the situation. One Reverend on TV thanked God for diverting Katrina slightly east so that New Orleans didn’t receive it directly; what it did to Mississippi as a result of that divine response, wasn’t mentioned. The governor of Louisiana declared a Day of Prayer, with no noticeable effect.

I suggest that we might want to depose this incumbent God and start dealing with The Real World. He’s proven – time and again – to be cruel, capricious, and vindictive. He drowns, crushes, burns, and starves millions of us every day. He created cancer, viruses, and germs to invade and destroy our bodies as He sees fit, and uses them very effectively. In His wisdom, He directed those in charge to impede stem cell research so that such a powerful approach would not be available to us and He wouldn’t have to strain the Divine Intellect to disarm that defense. We amuse Him as we flail about vainly trying to appease Him. I vote that we dump Him."

Pee-tiful experience!!

I am damn bloody pissed off by this medical center today(U.S HealthWorks). Keeping long story short, we were asked to take a drug test today!!(Itu cerita lagi satu, tapi sekarang tarak tenaga nak bincang!!Banyak Tu Lan punya cerita!!!).

Anyway, i left my office at about 1pm and reach there at about 1.15pm. All i wanted is to pee in a cup for these guys and get on with my life.....but nooooo.....these fuckers let me wait for 1 bloody hour. I was so pissed i was literally sweating pee out of my balls!!! All it takes is less than a minute to pee in a cup, sign some papers and get the hell out. What is so difficult about that?? I don't even need a doctor to watch me pee!! Bottomline, this fucking medical center is dis-organize and mess up!! I won't be surprise if they ask me to return give another pee sample!! U.S HealthWorks my ass!!!!
