182. Life is short

My Random Thots:

Gosh, just remembered that I may not have 40yrs of life left. Time to stop procastinating. Need to compile a list of to dos and get them over with :)

1. Make my peace with God
2. Open a car enthusiast shop as a hobby and not vocation
3. Get married (eventually)
4. Retire before 40
5. Travel the world - perhaps in a yatch (hey, this is my dream list)
6. lemme see, did i miss anything?
181. Busy day as expected

The whole day flew by. Had a nice breather at lunch with Chuwy. Almost bought a antique gun/lighter on impulse. Good thing we were at the shop for a while and I manage to let my judgement supercede my impulse. :) After lunch it was back to the hectic life.

After dinner went bowling again. :) This time there be improvement. We played 3 games. My scores were 71, 80 and 81. Not bad, a good healthy upward trend. My target for now will be to bowl consistent 100s and not hurt my thigh muscle or fingers. :) Shouldn't be that hard......I think.


First Game
Me - 71 Points
Yew Peng - 91 Points
Jack - 84 Points
Nicholas - 156 Points



Second Game
Me - 80 Points
Yew Peng - 75 Points
Jack - 142 Points
Nicholas - 135 Points


Third Game
Me - 81 Points
Yew Peng - 117 Points
Jack - 107 Points
Nicholas - 161 Points


Went to sleep at abt 130ish and after much rolling around, now am up and wide awake. Can't sleep. Too tired yet too many things on my mind. Sigh. Will try to get some sleep after this. Tomorrow will be a long long day if I dun get some rest soon.

My Random Thots:

i shouldn't be an open book. The ones who are easily read are always on the losing end. never reveal EVERYTHING.

in business, u will be at a disadvantage
in relationships, u will be too vulnerable
in friendship, u risk being backstabbed

wat a jaded world we live in eh.

I blame this random thots on my lack of sleep

180. Long day at work

Was in the office till about 10ish. Had a few things to clear coz Seng will be going to China tomorrow and I have to cover his customers as well. So I reckon won't have much time to do my paper work tomorrow.

Had a surprise call at 10:30ish from Say Eow (a long lost friend from church). Haven't seen him for at least 5 years. They're having a get together at Chuwy's place. So eventhough I was poofed, I went over to Chuwy's place. It was good to catch up with all of them. Nice way to end the day.

Jo went to see Fantastic 4 tonite. Was told it's really good.

179. It's a boy!!!!!

Break out the champagne, Wee & Raine will have a baby boy! I lost RM40 in a bet, but heck, it's worth losing. :) Now I have a niece and a nephew. Time to pass on the car stuff. Muah har har har.


Guess what is highlighted in the picture? :)


Walking Away - Craig David

I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away (yeah) oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away (yeah) oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away

Sometimes some people get me wrong
When it's something I've said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun
That's why you turn and run
But now I truly realise
Some people don't wanna compromise
Well, I saw them with my own eyes
Spreading those lies, and
Well, I don't wanna live my life, too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say, lady

I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away (yeah) oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away (yeah) oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away

Well, I'm so tired, baby
Things you say, you're driving me away
Whispers in the powder room, baby
Don't listen to the games they play
Girl, I thought you'd realise
I'm not like them other guys
Coz I saw them with my own eyes
You should've been more wise, and
Well, I don't wanna live my life, too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say, lady

I'm walking away (now I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life (from the troubles in my life)
I'm walking away (yeah) oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life (troubles in my life)
I'm walking away (yeah) (I'm walking away)
Oh, to find a better day

I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life (I've tried to solve you, baby)
I'm walking away (oh, yeah) (oh, yeah)
Oh, to find a better day
(Oh, I'm gon, I'm gonna find a better day)
I'm walking away (oh, yeah)
From the troubles in my life
(From the troubles in my life, baby)
I'm walking away (yeah) oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away
178. KL

Was in KL on thursday for an Exhibition and supplier visit. Exhibition was boring, took us only 2 and a half hours to look thru the whole exhibition floor at PWTC.

Woke up early Friday for the supplier visit in the morning. Got lost on the way and had to wait to be rescued by our supplier. The visit was very educational. At lunch time, we were asked if we wanted to have seafood or Bah Kut Teh. Guess what we chose :) we went to have bah kut teh at Seri Kemuning (or was it Kota Kemuning). The bah kut teh was good. they also ordered mango chicken, fried fish head, vege and pig intestines. Heh heh. It's all good.

Saturday was slow. Was at Pyramid for the first half of the day. Shopped around a bit. Went over to Soul Out at Sri Hartamas for dinner. Was told the chinese food there is quite nice. Didn't believe it ;) so tried the Hainanese Chicken Rice and Mamma Mia Pizza. both are quite nice. After dinner, went for gelato and shot some pool after dinner.

Sunday is even slower. Went to this new shopping complex called Plaza Damas and Sri Hartamas Shopping Center. Interesting place. They actually sell the Vochelle's Dark Chocolate. Haven't had those in ages. bought 2 bars. And also bought 2 books to add to my list of to reads. Bought Tim Allen's Don't stand too close to a naked man and Larry Collier's How to fly helicopters.



After reading so many serious books, reckon it'll be good to lighten up with these 2 selections. :) hmmm, now where can I find a helicopter?

On the way back to Penang stopped by Ipoh for "Nga Choi Kai" (beansprout chicken). Finally reached home at abt 1ish. Time to call it a nite.

177. Runaway train



Artist: Soul Asylum
Song: Runaway Train

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything seems cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

CHORUS

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

176. just the 2 of us....

Wee had a client meeting at Wisma PSCI, so we left office earlier than usual. We got everything done and ended up at Soho. It seems that Soho is empty on monday nites :) heh heh heh. So it was just Wee and I.

We had a good time catching up on each other's life. It's amazing. 4 hrs passed before Dave came and "interrupted". Really glad we had the chat. Very enlightening. It's funny how we stay in the same house and work in the same office, yet there's so much that we don't know about each other. Gosh, talk about taking things for granted.

After all the things said, one did strike me.

when I said, "I still have another 40 yrs of life left."

He answered, "Don't count on it."

That'll dance in my head for a while.

175. Skype Mike

Bought this handsfree for Skype for RM15. Dirt cheap and the sound quality is actually excellent. Very impressive.



Was watching MTV on this lazy sunday afternoon when Paula Malai Ali said,"In the words of the great basketball player Charles Barkley, you know the world has gone mad when the world's best golf player is black and the greatest rapper is white!"

In retrospec, that is so true. A decade ago, that would've been crazy :) Now? We have Tiger Woods and Eminem (Marshall Mathers) and the world is indeed in chaos.

174. Snatch Thief

Just found out my mom was a victim of snatch theft this morning. Damn thieves. Well, good thing she just had minor cuts & bruises. All these incidents that I read in the papers doesn't really hit me until it happens so close to home. Well, such is the condition when our police are so busy "cari makan" rather than actually upholding the law. Both white and black are trying to out do each other by seeing which side can squeeze the most out of us, the people who actually have a profession. Sigh, what a world we live in.

Just found out that Yew Peng will be coming back this evening itself and Jack didn't go down to KL after all. So as for my earlier options of A,B & C, well, C is definitely out.

End up hanging out with my bros for a while. Then off to the movies with Yew Peng and Jack to watch war of the worlds. Stupid movie. Not logical at all. Wasted my time :P yawn! I find that this complete war of the worlds' website so much more informative and interesting than the movie itself. Gosh, I guess Steven Spielberg just wanted to make the movie for the sake of the special effects.

______________________________

My Random Thots:

My wrist and fingers still hurt from bowling :( also my thigh muscles are a bit sore too. Need to step up my excercise schedule from non existant to miniscule. Darn, this is embarassing. I'm sore from bowling!!!! Sigh. I need to supress the Blue Hyppo in me.


The Blue Hyppo
173. Lonely, I'm Mr Lonely.........

............gosh, most of my buddies left for KL or Singapore. So tonite, I'm left with 3 options.

a) Chuwy's house for Cell Group Meeting
b) Hang out with my bros
c) Stay at home and ponder on my so called life

They're playing these 2 songs everywhere and now they're stuck in my head. Good thing I like them to begin with :D

Title: She Will Be Loved

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
172. Bowling

Went bowling at Jayabowl in One Stop with Chong, Yew Peng, Jack, Ah Lai and Dennis. It has been a long, long time since I last bowled. It seems my skill are still intact as I scored an unbelievable score of 69 (I'm being sarcastic la). :) My wrist felt tired. It was really fun. After bowling, we walked back to Segafredo at Belissa Row to unwind.

Edward and Alan is up in Penang. Alan is on permanent posting and has been up here since last week, while Edward is up here for a short business trip. We all agreed to meet up for dinner. It's been a long while since we hung out. Lewis, Ramen and Johnathan showed up at abt 8ish so we went for dinner and movie at Gurney plaza. We watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Crappy movie, we head back to the hotel after the movie and chit chatted and lepak till abt 4ish. Long day and nite. Yawn

170. Nite out

It's been a while since Chong came over and hung out. Tonite, after dropping of his wife at the airport, we met up at Chef & Brew.


nice decor & bad service :)


The bunch hanging out

Just lepaking until Anthony and Jia Li arrived. It's Jia Li's b'day, so we bought a cheese cake to celebrate. Was simple and we had a good time catching up.


Jia Li & her Man :)
169. Lost

It's been 4 days since my last blog. Gosh, was a rather quiet weekend if not for a crazy sunday.

For Friday nite, I Went out to Soho to meet up with a bunch of people whom I haven't seen in a while. Among them, Josie, Fuen, Siew Bee, Yoon, Henry and Danny. Surprisingly met a few of my Uni mates there as well. Fun nite.


Here's Raine and Josie having a tummy competition (Josie is pregnant too)

Sat was boring

Sunday started with a laksa lunch and also durian :) the durian place is amazing. From the roadside, it looks like your regular road side stall, but when we took a closer look, he's converted part of the jungle into a mini zoo. He's got 3 ostriches, a few chickens, some parrots and misc birds, a peacock and a peahen and also a pond of huge kois. The price there is also a killer :P not going back there again.


The 3 ostriches (left pic) and the Koi pond (the right pic)


The hut we ate the durians in

Chuang decided to have a durian party as well so looks like i'll be having durian for dinner too. Heh heh heh. Chuang and Niki came over to pick me up at 5:30ish and we head to Gurney coz they wanted to look at some puppies. They wanna "adopt" one to nuture their parental instincts. Hmmmm. Anyway, I wanted to develope some photos. So we parted ways. I caught up with them at the pet shop and guess what! They've already decided on a PUG (and yes! they have their own website) and will be picking it up on wednesday. They've decided to call it Roger becoz it looks like one. Wat the? I don't want to see their pup if they decide to call it Richard! heh heh.


Roger the Pug

We proceeded to buy Dominoes pizza and head over to Chuwy's house. It's been a while since I went over to their house d. Wonder if Sophia or Sean still remembers me.


The durian and Pizza mix at Chuwy's house

Just when I thot that'll be the end of an eventful day, Wee called and ask if I wanted to go over to Soho with Seng and him. Well, thot what the heck, won't miss a brotherly gathering for anything. Off I went then. Surprisingly some of the Intel gang was there as well.

Dave came over and introduced a few ladies to us, they're his old college mate's daughter (Sabrina) and her friends (Jo & Fiona). They call him Uncle Dave. Never heard people call him that before :D We teased him a little. Turns out that one of the girls (Sabrina) is a pretty decent singer and sings for a living back in UK. So since, Dave owns the place, he turned it into a karaoke nite :D made her sing a couple of songs. We were pleasantly surprised when she sang. She does have a good voice. Played the usual few rounds of pool. I did learn a new party trick. Tying the cherry stem with my tongue. I figured with my super flexible tongue, I shud be able to do it. Voila, I was right. but somehow this is not a thing I wanna do too often :P. One only see girls doing things like this :D Oh well, called it a nite after that.


Sabrina singing while Jo "watches" on


My cherry stem tying masterpiece :P

Monday was rather slow in the morning, but towards the afternoon, the pace picked up. It was a really bad day as things start piling up. It seems to have a domino effect once a delivery is backlogged. Spent the rest of the day controlling the damage.

168. Expiry

Today, the Miki Ojisan No Mise cheese cake expired! How sad! There's still half of it left. Unfortunately, no one like the chocolate version. They liked the original cheese only. Alas. Wasted wasted wasted.

Wanted to watch The Interpreter last nite, but was a bit tired. To cut the long story short, just stayed home and watched "Assault on precinct 13" instead. Not too bad a movie. The plot is interesting. Well, it's off to bed after that.

Wonder what's in store for me today :)

Just found out that Initial D started showing last nite!!!! arrggghhhhh, I didn't even realise as I was busy checking out GSC and didn't realise they're showing at Mega Pavillion. Off to Bukit Jambul Complex tonite then.

End up we went to Perai Megamall to watch Initial D there. The show is good, but they did distort the history of some characters. Oh well, overall, it's still fun and funny to watch. It lives up to my very high expectations of it.

167. Notebook housekeeping

My notebook has been a tad slow recently. It seems that I'm running out of storage space. What is there to do but delete data. Couldn't decide what to delete. Figured that since this notebook is for work purpose, I can only delete "play" data. After backing up all my pictures and videos, off to the trash can they go. Saved up about 5 Gb of space. Hopefully none of the data got corrupted. After defragmenting, much to my relief, the speed is up from crap to bearable. :)

166. Room cleaning

Was cleaning up the room last nite and found a few interesting items. Among them are some silly "photos" I took at a photo booth back in my university. :D my gosh. It looks so silly i had to scan it and post it.


Tee Ann and I looking "beautiful"


I told u guys i had a photo of an alien!

___________________________

My Random Thots:

I was watching Frasier, I wonder if the psycho analysis he gives on the show are actually accurate. They are very interesting though. It's amazing you can learn things about life from a comedy. Perhaps that's why they're called Situational Comedy.

165. F1 Fiasco

Actually wanted to title this entry as Happy Father's Day, but my dad is still in Hong Kong and this once in a lifetime Formula 1 fiasco is even bigger news! I stayed up to watch the the F1 race in Indianapolis. There were talks about a boycott by the Michelin tire runners (14 out of 20 cars). I was telling myself that it's impossible. I'm sure the race will go on. The race went on alright! With only 6 cars. Sigh. I can't believe i stayed up to watch. Yawn. Here's the full story.


The rare pic of the six cars Formula 1 starting grid. Take a good look, this is unlikely to happen again.


Anyway, woke up late and went for tea and shopping at Gurney plaza with Seng, Fen, Wee, Raine and Ru Yi! Yes, Ru yi! Seng and Fen decided to take her out. She loves it. We stopped by Segafredo first to grab something to bite and have a drink.


Seng and Ru Yi at Segafredo

I wanted to buy battery for my camera, Raine and Fen wanted to walk around too. So i walked around with Raine and Fen. hmmm, feels funny. Me walking around pushing a baby tram around. Makes me feel like Chuwy :D

Walked around Gurney plaza and found out that a new shop opened up. To my surprise it's a branch of a japanese cheese cake shop from KLCC. This is the same shop I mentioned earlier in my blog (Entry #48 - 14th March 05). Bought a chocolate cheese cake to indulge. :)

164. Triumph the insult comic dog rules!

Started the day with a video clip of Triumph the insult comic dog's day out at Santa Maria during Wacko Jacko's trial. So basically Triumph was "interviewing" the fans gathered there. Good thing for Triumph, they're just Wacko's fans. If Triumph was at Anfield taking a piss at Liverpool footballers, there'll be realllll trouble. This video really cracked me up. What a nice way to start off my day :)

Anyway, the video clip can be downloaded at
http://download.ifilm.com/qt/portal/2672935_300.mov

Here's Triumph telling everybody, "Of course he's innocent! C'mon, would these faces lie to you???" While holding the picture of MJ's face transformation from black to white.

163. Another weekend of freedom!!!!!

Muah har har har har, sent parents off to Hong Kong this morning at 5:45am. They'll be gone till sunday evening or monday morning! :) eh? wat's this i feel on my head? They feel like horns! I feel empowered!!!! What will it be? BBQ weekend? Party weekend or just take it easy and chill. :) Well, stay tuned, we'll be right back with the programs ;)

So far, dinner tonite will be KFC in front of the TV and coffee with Andrew and gang at Chef & Brew.

Chong and Hiromi will be going to KL this weekend........should I?

Below is another interesting column I received in the mail. I'm beginning to wonder who is this James Lau that mysteriously started sending me these articles a couple of months back.

Life is all about loving

Life is all about loving. How come? Because loving is the Kingdom of God, for God is love. All of us look for the Kingdom of God here and now. We can have it if we love. Truly love.

Marriage is one area where we can make it into a Kingdom of God or a hell of a place here and now. It all depends on whether we have learned to love or not. There will always be disagreement, flare-up and conflict in the home. Have we learned to rise above them and continue to grow in love?

To be good at anything we have to spend time and effort studying and practising the topic. Similarly to be loving we need to know what is love. We should not confuse love with the Hollywood-type-of movie love. What then is love? True love at its very basic is":

Patient
Do I allow him/her to have his views, his mannerism, and his ways of doing things? Can I overlook his shortcomings or faults?
Will I be able to bear the blame and accusation?
Can I accept him as he is?

Kind
Do I have a kind heart towardshim/her?
Do I strive to make him happy?
Do I uplift his spirit when he is anxious or depressed?
Am I tender hearted towards him?

Forgiving
Mother Teresa says, “We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly.” (“A Gift for God”, 18)
Do I try to forgive endlessly at home?
Do I harbor grudges over long period of time?
Do I hold on to resentment?
Do I keep a record of wrongs he has done to be used against him?
Do I tried to forgive and forget?

Self-giving
Do I sacrifice myself for him/her?
Am I generous towards him?
Can I give in to the relatively unimportant comments and arguments?
Do I give up my preferences, goals, comfort, time and energy for him?

Encouraging
Am I always an encourager or a critic towards him/her?
Do I affirm him?
Am I his cheer leader?
Do I look forward to his potential or do I see him as he is?
Do I constantly find ways to praise him?

Have we spent the time to cultivate and nurture these qualities or are we so engrossed with making a living that we don’t bother about such things? How then can we be good at loving?

Ultimately relationship, not what we achieved or acquired, is what matters most in life. So why do we allow our relationships to get the short end of the stick? When our schedules become overloaded, we start skimming relationally, cutting back on giving the time, energy, and attention that loving relationships require. What’s most important to us is replaced by what is most urgent.

When life on earth is ending, we don’t surround ourselves with objects. What we want around us is people---people we love and have relationships with.

In our final moments we all realize that relationships are what life is all about. Learning this truth sooner rather than later is wisdom. Why then wait until we are on our deathbed to figure out that nothing matters more than a loving relationship?

My Random Thots:

Wow! Judging by these criterias, am I capable of love? I guess I can't answer that. Only people around me are qualified to answer that.
