2010 count down

I'm late again to blog here. We'll excuses from me again not to blog so often. I have been rather ....free and busy since i last blog here. Free is when i am rotting at home and too lazy to do anything. Busy is when i don't even have time to go home and play my PS3. So when is the best time for be to blog? It's for sure when i am working! I am working now. Why am i blogging now in the office? Well that's because i don't have any work now so this gives me excuses to blog now!

This month (November) celebrate my Taylor 414ce guitar 1st birthday! I remember i bought it on the 1st of November 08 at Singapore. Purposely drove down and spend SGD2800 and came back. It was all worth it i must say. My guitar still play and sound very well. Need more time to play it though as now i am kinda neglecting it.

Today is my last day being a probation at my new company. So after today i can apply leave which i am entitled to and i am going to use it for next month X'mas in Singapore! Yes...i am going back to Singapore next year to celebrate X'mas again. I know i have said i wont be going back to Singapore at least a few years since my last visit but i have a cruise vacation i need to board in Singapore. Yes you heard me right. I am going on a cruise baby! It's the Super Star Virgo by the Genting group. I have been waiting for years to board the cruise and now my change has finally come! 4d3n depart from Singapore to Penang to Phuket and back to Singapore again. After the cruise i will be in Singapore for 2 more days to met up with my friends and doing the countdown thing at orchard again. It's gonna be another great holiday!

Looking at the picture i posted here you guys know it's the 2010 countdown! 1 more month and we bid 2009 farewell. I need to recall what i have done for the past 11 months and hopefully i will get my last month for 2009 right! Time sure come and go with out you noticing eh? Damn it, i am getting old that's for sure. I have plans and that's to enjoy to the fullest with my friends! Now lets get the timer running and we approach a brand new 2010!

Enough of blogging and now i must go back to my work (well there isn't any work yet). Here is a new song on my blog. It's from Josh Gorban - You raise me up. I love this song very much as it bring inspiration into you. Planning to play this on my guitar too. And so i hope this song will keep you going until 2010 to face a brand new challenge and adventure! Until next time my friends....See ya next month!

Mixed up October

It's October and by birthday month. I have been doing not much lately on October. Still undergoing with my training in the office, which is very boring, It gets really worst in the afternoon after lunch when you start to close your eyes and do the "snake" dance. I tried not to do the "snake" dance too often so i bought myself some 'asam' sweets to keep me awake. With the 'asam' melting in my mouth i am still doing the "snake" dance. You must be wondering why am i still doing the "snake" dance when i'm having sweets....that's because it's freaking boring! I can't help it!!! Well...least now i am getting used to the training and not falling a sleep too soon.

I celebrated my 26th birthday with a few of my friends in zouk - velvet in KL. Not happy to age but i am happy that i'm still breathing still. Got a few gifts from my friends and of course the most special one was from my special one :D. That really made by day! I'm getting old, need to keep myself as healthy as possible. You know problems comes when you hit 30s so gotta stay healthy soon rather than later.

Now news on my Australian PR. Exactly a year ago i paid money for the final step to get the Australian PR and this month mark 1 year of my submission. There is 1 slight problem, i don't have any updates yet since the day i paid 1 year ago! I emailed by agent who is helping me with my submission and she said that all those who apply not job on demand list will not be processed until further notice. This came from the Australian immigration people due to the recent economy problem that hit the whole world last year. Now that's problem no 1. I actually have another way that i can get my application processes 1st by applying the job on demand list category . i need to have

1. 4 years of working experience
2. applying under a security network person

I have met the 1st point but the 2nd point have a little bit of problem. I need to prove to the Australian immigration that i am working as a security person and i will need to get a job of descriptions from my old company that i have worked with. All have given their letter except for EDS. They said it's against their policy to write or give verbal words anything that i need form them. I was like WTF is this? I am not asking them to write a fake letter about my job descriptions but they still refuse to write me the letter! I even asked my boss to sign for me but still he need to get back to HR to ask permission and HR gave the same stupid answer! I emailed the HR asking them why and they said they must comply with their policy and bla bla bla. One thing i dint understand is that why can't they write me the letter? I am not asking them to fake a letter but still they refuse! A bunch of cowards! To be honest i am kinda lost here but i'll find my own way. I will not let this small problem get in my way. No matter what i will do what it takes to get the Australian PR. I have gone too far to give up now. I have dreams to achieve and i will not let it slip away from my hand.

Alright, time to stop here. I'm actually in office now writing this. Got a lil time so just wanted to post something here. What ever it is, stay healthy guys and i'll see ya back here 1 day!

Selamat Hari Raya!

It's Hari Raya today for all Muslim celebrating around the world and public holiday in Malaysia! I don't have any plans for the raya holidays so i'll take this opportunity to chill out with my friends and catching out with them.

This month i have started my new job and so far so good i must say. I have been doing training for the past 2 weeks and it will go on longer for another 2 more weeks at least! Training has always been a pain in the ass because it's soooo boring! I would prefer on job live training because i think its the most effective way to learn faster. Can't do anything though and must go though the "sleepy" training. Oh yeah....my new work place is a very cool place to work! You know why? Here are the reasons:

1. Q: When I'm bored with my work what i'll do? A: Go mid valley and walk around to burn some time.
   
2. Q: Will i get bored with the food there? A: No because there are soooo many food stalls around from cheap to expensive foods (Unlike cyberjaya :P).
3. Q: What will i do after work? A: Either go back home or go to the near by pub for my favorite drink called "Strongbow".
4. Q: How far is my home to mid valley? A: 7km from my house to Mid valley compared to 27K from my house to cyberjaya
5. Q: What i want to add some more? A: It's nearer and there is a lil traffic going to work but that's just a small problem though

Now i just hope that i can work there happily until i can get my PR to move to Australia 1 day in the future. If you ever by pass mid valley during the weekdays call me ok...lets have lunch together.

Today i made a small mistake. It's nothing serious but it's my fault for letting it happen and i got a good lecturing. Come to think of it i didn't mean to do it on purpose but still it's my fault and i'll take all the responsibility. But i take this as a lesson. A lesson that i will learn and never repeat the same mistake again. With this i shall carry on it with me and take it it bear more fruits.

You know, a lot of my friends are either on holiday or went back home town. I am not worried not going on a holiday this long weekend because i have a new vacation to go end of the year! Will spend 1 week in singapore before the Xmas period and go on a cruise! I finally will get to broad the cruise after so long i have waited. Can't wait for that day to come!

Ok, i better stop here for today. Let me wish all my muslim friends 'Selamat Hari Raya' and don't forget my ayam rendang! Here is today's blog post song and it's 1 of my favorite song called 'Coolio - I'll see you when you get there'. I love this song and this is the special choir featuring my favorite song of all time Canon in D. Enjoy the music and have a blast during the raya holidays! Jumpa Lagi~

Good by EDS. Hello new job!

Alright, it's Saturday and it's da weekend ! Oh boy i have waited for this week for very long already. I needed a break from work and i have 1 week off! Yesterday was my last day in office. I have been serving EDS for 2 years and 10 months. I have no intention to leave EDS in the 1st place but thanks to HP who bought EDS, it has been nothing but bad news. HP freezes our salary increment, take away out activities like treasure hunt, cut our benefits and making us to buy HP procurve devices! Wth man, i have been studying CISCO to master them and before i can master them they force us to use their networking devices. It's not that their devices is that bad but i rather concentrate on CISCO. I don't want to start to learn something that is not so recognized like CISCO. It just demotivates us. Another reason why i want to leave is because of a person named "toyo". Man this "toyo" is so dumb that he seriously don't deserve to be there now. He just piss me off. I have even sold the crap out of this fella and told him this straight in his face "Don't cross my border anymore". You guys must be wondering now that i am insane and dare to scold the crap out of this "toyo" but i actually have nothing to fear because i know i didn't do anything wrong. When i know i am not at wrong and someone step on my tail, i will surely stand up and defend myself.

Let's not talk about this "toyo", just wasting my time only. Well....i must say thanks to EDS because they gave me an opportunity to shine. If i join EDS in the beginning i think i would still be lost. They made me to what i am now so that is why i have these skills. I learned a lot during my stay here with eds and made many friends. Thanks EDS (not HP) for everything. I will never forget the opportunity/change given to me and will make good use of it.

Now here are some of the shots taken yesterday

This is my laptop with secondary monitor.

My whole desk....got lots of stuff! hehe

My japanese junk food. It's empty already but i just display em at my desk to show off! :P

Lastly this is my table name tag. It even has my favorite guitar brand on the right side(i customized that)!

I had a few farewell lunch with my colleagues already and i will have another farewell dinner with my colleagues at Sunway. This time it will be a very big event. I am not the organized so i shall leave this for the organized to plan and let me know.

Anyway, i am glad i have left EDS at the right time and i will not look back anymore. For more pictures please check on facebook Now here is a new song for ya all! Caramell - Caramell dansen! This time it's a fun song coz it's da weekend i feel like dancing! Yeah so enjoy the music!

I will start my new job on the 1/9/09 and before i start my work i'll be off fishing with my friends. Time to relax a lil before i start my work. So...i shall see you guys again here next time. Ja ne~

Moving on to a new job

I'm so bored in the office that i decided to blog something here. Well it's Monday after all. I am trying very hard to tell myself "It's a brand new week to look forward too!" which isn't kind of helping at the moment. Speaking of work, i actually found a new job here in KL. So after 2 years and 10 months with EDS, i am going to move on to another company in KL. Throughout my 4 years working career, i have not stepped out of Selangor for work and this time I'm migrating to KL. My new work place will be at Garden's north tower in Mid Valley. Yeah....mid valley the big shopping mall with lousy road management that's very congested all the time. This time it's nearer to my home but there will be a little road congestion when i travel to work but that's only very minor. I actually didn't have any intention to leave EDS but since they other company can offer me better package might as well i give it a shot. After all i need a new environment already. I will start work at my new place on the 1st of September and now I'm just waiting for my HR to let me know when is my last date of work. Mid valley will be a more happening place as it's in the mall and I'm sure there will be lots of pretty ladies for me to "wash" my eyes when i need come motivations to work there, LOL. The new company is an Australian company and the HQ is based in Brisbane! That's the place where i studied an where i want to migrate later. What are the odd eh? Well...may be i can look forward to work with them and 1 day i might get my transfer to Brisbane! Let's see how it goes.

Last weekend Saturday me and my friends went up to awana genting for a trip. There we're 10 people and we decided to have steamboat there. I was the main organizer and the main chef for that weekend. Basically i prepared everything from scratch in Awana. We had a good time eating and we went up to genting for a while to gamble. I won RM102.50 and ran far far away after that. At night we went back to Awana and had our drinking session. We played the mixing drink game and we had 2 tequila and 1 JD whisky along with some imported soft drinks from Australia. That was one crazy night as 1 of my good friend got so drunk that he started to impersonate MJ, Joker from batman, Leonidas from the 300 movie and Jon Bon Jovi. We even made so much noise in the middle of the night that the management had to come to our room to shut us up. One hell of a night i gotta say. I'm sure there will be more this kind of nights in the future

It's August already. 4 more months and we will bid 2009 farewell. Time sure flies eh. What i want to do now is to create more happy memories in Malaysia and hopefully everything will go smoothly. Ok...i guess that's all i gotta say for today. I'm just waiting to go off work and rest at home. Not sure why but every time i get back home i'll be very tired. Guess I'm getting closer to becoming an old man...oh shiet! I'll think of something to write for the next blog entry...hopefully something interesting. Before you go here is a Chinese song for you to enjoy. I found this song on youtube and i find it pretty nice so i decided to put this as the song up.

Until we met again, later~

RIP Granma...

2 days ago i received a call from my sis at work. She told me grandma passed away. I was shocked and thought it was a joke but too bad it wasn't. My grandma lived until the age of 100 and saw 5 generation. I am the 3rd generation (grandchildren) of hers. Now that's one hell of a long life. She has seen it all and i guess it's about time she goes on to the other world. My grandma really loved her grandchildren. I remember last time my mom would bring her back to my home and she would peel the ikan bilis just for me because she knows i like ikan bilis. After about 1 week of stay she would go back to her home at Labu, Seremban and before she goes back she would give me some money to spend. I normally would not accept the money but she would say "i am old and i have no good use of these money, take it and buy something to eat". I would smile and accept it just to make her happy, I will then tell my mom that grandma gave me money and she will scold me for taking her money but i told her "i am doing this just to make grandma happy". Even during my days of studying in Australia, grandma would ask my mom "where is ah ming(she call's me ah ming)? is ah ming back from Australia already?". Those we're the days. Now grandma has gone to another world where she will have peace. The burial will be tmr morning and i will be there to send grandma off to her final journey.

And so...this month has been a very busy month for me like i told you on the previous post BUT there was a new beginning for me. Something i look forward to and putting all my effort to make it meaning full.

As for work, i have been busy most of the time in office. Having late meeting with the US people suck. Our time about 7pm and 10pm. Well, i can't do much about this because we have to find a time to talk about our projects. As long they don't make it after 10pm, i'm alright.

I think it i better stop here. Here is a song for you all to enjoy. It's from 1 of my favorite artist Jason Mraz! It's called "If it kills me". I am going to learn this on guitar and master it. I really like the lyrics and it's really meaningful and i hope guys will enjoy this song too. Until next time.....see ya~

Very busy July

I am in the office now. Yes...you must be asking me why am i blogging in the office now. Well it's because i have some times to spare and i haven't been updating here for a while so let me say something here.

And so, my holiday has past and now i am going my routing job which is working. Since i'm back from the island adventure, i was really busy running around here and there. It has nothing to do with work but i have been trying to catch up with my friends or should i say friends have been trying to catch up with me. Almost everyday i at night i am not at home which leads to me not playing guitar that often. I spend a lot of time on my guitar normally but i felt that i didn't had enough time for it. May be because that time my webcam can't working with windows 7 so i can't do any recording which leads me not to play much guitar. Now i have bought a new webcam which is better than the previous one and may be i can start to motivate myself playing guitar again. Don't worry, i wont quit guitar completely. Guitar is my life and the time i will stop playing guitar is when my hands can't play it anymore.

I saw transformer 2 a week plus ago with 16 friends at GSC MV. Yes...it was a big group because this was a must watch movie! The 1st week of screening was really crazy. Everyone was trying to get tickets for transformer 2 which resulted GSC website exploded. Yes...the traffic was soooo massive that they had to strip down the website to a really simply website so people can go in and buy tickets online. Lucky my friend bought the ticket 6 days before the date we wanted to watch. To me the movie was really awesome. I must say better than the 1st one but there was still room for improvement. I am going to watch 2nd time with my buddies when it's not so crowded later.

Well...this month isn't about me being tired and busy but also a sad month too. Michael Jackson, the king of pop is dead. It was really sudden for the whole world to accept because he died from a cardiac arrest. I felt that it was very great lost to the world. I am no big fan of Michael Jackson but he was the man who changed the world. He showed the world how someone should dance with passion, how to sing and love the world. If it wasn't for Michael, the dance moves now won't be that hot. I love his songs and i must say his song will be heard forever. I remembered last time me and my friends sang his song and a good ol buddie of mine drew a comic of Dragon Ball Z where Michael Jackson came and saved Son Gokou. LOL, now that's something you don't get to see all the time. Thank you Michael for everything, the world is going to miss you. May you rest in peace...

I think i stop here. Let me pay some respect to the late king of pop with one of his song. It's from the Jackson 5 where he made is debut with "I'll be there". A very nice song. Alright, till i see you here again, later~
