Being sick yet partying

Was awefully sick for the past two days. Suspect it was food poisoning, on Tuesday I wanted to go to the gym but on the drive back home I felt so tired and could barely concentrate on the road. It was like I was staring at the road but I couldn't focus and I could feel myself nodding to sleep. It was damn scary lucky I made it back in one piece.

As soon as I got home I immediately got into bed and fell asleep, the next thing I remember was waking up and as soon as I stood up I felt like vomitting so I rushed to the toilet and puked all over toilet bowl. This went on throughout the night for about 4-5 times. It was a nightmare and I had a splitting headache and a fever to go along as well.

Woke up in the morning on Wednesday still feeling shitty and because work was left hanging tried to take a shower but I just felt so weak and couldn't even walk straight without holding on to something for support and I knew that I definately wouldn't want to be driving in that condition. So went back to sleep and woke up around 5+pm and my dad drove me to the clinic. Had a fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Doctor gave some meds and two days MC from work.

Went home tried to have something to eat and went to sleep. Woke up the next day feeling better and since I was on leave and Tyler was around PJ area we metup for lunch since it's been a while since I last saw him. Told him of my adventures the last few weeks which left him laughing at my misfortune ... truly hari ini dalam sejarah !!! hahahahahah

Went back home after that and slept some more. Woke up feeling hungry and met up with Cynthia for dinner. By the time dinner was done it was almost 9pm and I started receiving sms as to what time I was expected in Velvet for the singles party as I promised Debra and Emily that I would be there.

Since I was feeling much better decided to Since I was feeling much better decided to head over to Velvet to check out what a singles party is all about since I've never been to one. Reached there around 10pm and met Emily with a bunch of her friends at the entrance busy taking pictures.

Called Debra and I registered myself at the counter and got a goodie back as well as a number token. We went over to her table where I met Siva and Irene again and also Nanda, the rest I can't remember already hahahahaha ..

Bumped into Raj and VJ as well there and Jeanette as well. I learnt that the numbers are in a pair and one is given to a guy and another to a girl and we are suppose to hook up and stand up to the challenge given and we could walk away with the grand prize which was a 3D 2N stay to some resort somewhere.

There were 5-6 couples who went on stage and went through the challenges. The first one required the ladies to eat an apple hanging from the guys neck blindfolded. The second challenge the guys were required to get their face messy by sticking it in some whip cream and with their mouths gather 4-5 cherries. The final challenge where only two couples were left were suppose to dance/sing to the music trying to act out the lyrics. Jeanette was one of the finalist and did a raunchy number where some hip action were potrayed, if it wasn't for the fact that she knew her partner I would have voted for her. The other finalist was VJ and he and his partner though was not as raunchy as Jeanette performance but it was captivating and original and they deserve to win.

After all the commotion Debra and gang decided to leave around 12am where I was just starting to wake up so I bid them farewell and made my way to look for other people I recognised. Ended up with VJ and Emily and Emily's friend at the dance floor. There were two other girls on the dance floor and that's it. We practically owned the place and after a while Raj appeared and introduced us to the two other girls who were Michelle and Jacqueline (I think) hahahah. Nanda also joined us and so the 7 of us were on the dance floor, dancing as though we owned the place. Hahahhaha

We got bored of the music and being the only people on the dance floor and tried to find a way to get ourselves to mainroom. As we were sitting on the couch deciding what to do, Jacqueline was approached by one of the guys working in Zouk and after some chit chat someone had the bright idea of asking Jacqueline to ask him to bring us in and he agreed. hahahahah so the 7 of us made our way to Mainroom which was crowded as hell.

The music was awesome and it was just something I needed after the boring night in Velvet. Felt so alive and I was glad I made it out that night. After a lot of dancing we finally decided to call it a night and we left around 2am which is considered quite early la .. hahahahha

Exchanged numbers with a few people cause most of us just met that night and away we went. Got home and went to sleep but not before taking my meds of course. Hahahhaha .. and this was one night where no alcohol was involved at all. Well at least on my part :D

My phone died

My phone died because of some unforseen circumstances and now it's in the shop. I hope it can get repaired and it doesn't cost too much and even if they did repair it I hope my contacts are still intact cause that's the only reason I'm trying to repair it in the first place.

Oh yah and for those who accidently got their phone wet and thought they could be a genius by letting it dry and taking it to the shop a few days later hoping they aren't the wiser, well just forget about it cause apparently there's some color coded thing in the phone that changes color when it comes in contact with liquid. Hahahahhaha

Been toying with the idea of getting a new phone as well since it's the Christmas season and all :D and being a Sony Ericsson fan I was spoilt for choices. Been browsing phone shops for the past few days and trying out the different phones but the thing is I don't really need a camera phone and I've already got an mp3 player and I don't need to use 3G as well so the need for a expensive sophisticated phone is not there but the thought of having something shiny and new for Xmas is too tempting :D

The nominees are

1. W950


2. K800

3. W810


4. K750


The logical choice and suits my needs and CHEAP !!!

5. T630

Ahhhhhh decisionssssssssssss

The quiet Sunday

Woke up rather late only to find my phone had decided to die on me and I had to use a spare phone first while I try to get it repaired. Got a call from Anthony later asking to head over to his place. So I slowly got out of bed with a bad headache and took a shower and head over to his place. Tried calling him a few times but no reply, so I ended up in Summit walking around looking at phones.

Anthony called me and asked me to come over and I tapao some lunch as well before heading his place. Chilled there a while before heading back home around 5pm.

I was suppose to meetup with Viv as well for dinner but since my phone died and I didn't have her number so couldn't meetup before she left for Oz. So the whole day was spent at home getting some rest before heading back to work again tomorrow.

Caught up with some tv series as well. Now watching Greys Anatomy S2 and Stargate S8.

The wedding dinner

Since Sam drove in the morning I decided to drive for the wedding dinner. We reached there around 7pm and obviously we were one of the few early ones there to arrive. We registered ourselves and gave our angpows and since there were not many people around we decided to take a stroll and check out the place. The dinner was held in KLGCC.

After sitting down near the parking lot and talking crap we headed back to the dinner hall slightly before 8pm and at least now half the place was filled with people so we decided to head to our table and have a seat. We started off with the peanuts coz we were hungry and then we finished the peanuts and luckily they started serving drinks and we started off with beer.

People started coming in and soon our table was being occupied as well. Met with some old secondary school mates Kevin and Max as well who were in the same table as me. Haven't seen Kevin for more than 10 years and he still looks the same. Met some of Dennis and Sam's Form 6 classmates as well. So the dinner ceremony took place and some speeches were done and a lot of toasting to the newly weds.

Dinner was served. By the second dish we had consumed alot of beer that I can't even recall how much. Probably was around 2-3 jugs a person. Hahahhaha madness and then the heavy stuff came out and somehow a bottle of chivas ended up on our table. Time seems to fly when you're having fun and in between all the food,drinks and chatting it was time to go back well most of them have already gone back and we were the few tables that was still left behind. I decided that enough was enough when a second bottle of chivas magically appeared on the table when the first one was finished.

Wish the best to the bride and groom and me and Sam drove back home. We decided to stop by the mamak to have some drinks. Reached home around 1am and since I wasn't sleepy yet was online a while and after that went to sleep around 3am or so.

The wedding ceremony

After yesterdays late night out it was a wonder that I was able to wake up early today for Dennis wedding ceremony in the morning. Had to wake up around 7am because Sam was picking me up around 8am so we can be at Dennis place before 9am.

Got to his place earlier than expected and not many people were around yet so me and Sam went to grab some breakfast nearby anticipating it to be a long day. Somehow I was given the camera and became the photographer for that morning. So I began snapping pictures of the house, the car, the decorations etc. We left to pick the bride up and Dennis drove the car himself because he got a Z3 as his wedding car and we drove around without the top. Hahahhahaha we practically were blocking traffic as I tried to take pictures of him driving the car on the way to the hotel.

When we got there it was the usual chinese tradition where the ladies will have a serious of things the groom needs to do before he is let in to see the bride. Lucky it was in a hotel and there wasn't really much they could force us to do without waking up the next door neighbours. hahahhahaha

So after all the ceremony and taking more pics with the bride's family members we left the hotel to drive back to Dennis's house. Even more picture taking along the way with even more road hogging :D Got back to his place and they had the tea ceremony where the bride and groom will have to serve tea to the parents. Just as everything was over the camera battery dieded. Talk about timing.

We left Dennis place and headed back home to get some rest for the dinner tonight where more havoc will happen :D

The after party

So after most of the people left Modestos I joined Raj, VJ and Emily at the bar to have a few drinks and to check out the crowd there as well. I never knew that Modestos has a dance floor and people actually were dancing there. Though not very crowded but there were enough people around the dance floor to make it happening.

After a few drinks and some dancing Raj said that he's heading over to Bangsar to meet a few friends and asked me to go along, since I had nothing better to do I said yes :D We drove to Bangsar to ermmm I forgot the place we went to, it was opposite Finnegans, I think it's called Telawi Street bistro or something. When we reached there it was almost 1am and he introduced me to some people. I only could remember Siva, Debra and Irene and I spent most of the time talking to them.

After some more drinks and a checking out the crowd there, it was closing time and apparently most places in Bangsar closes at 2am. They decided to head down to Hartamas again to Karma to continue partying hahahahhaa. So I car pool with Siva and we drove over to Hartamas. Well the music and the crowd was a bit different la ... hahahha not something I was used to but it was fun anyways, so after yet some more drinks it was closing time once again and we stood at the entrance talking about where to go next. OMG it was already 3am and they still planning to continue the night/morning. The rest left and it was just me, Siva and Debra. Since I came with Siva I had no choice but to just follow la obviously.

So it was decided we should head to mamak and so we drove back all the way to Bangsar for mamak. Hahahhahahahah ... ended up in ermm Devi's I think for breakfast ?? I guess you could call it that :D Apparently Siva is also a car nut and what's even more interesting is he's driving the same car as me. So obviously we had a lot to talk about but not wanting Debra to fall asleep with our "guy" conversation we decided to talk about other stuff and leave the car stuff out for the night.. hahahahhaha

Also in between all that driving and drinking I was pursuaded to get a ticket for a singles party in Zouk on the 21st. OMG I can't believe what I got myself into. Hahahah .. Finally after a long and tiring night we called it a day and after exchanging our numbers I headed back home. Reached home around 5am and fell asleep immediately. Definately an interesting night for me :D

Alumni gathering

Was in the office feeling rather moody yesterday because of all the issues that has been cropping up lately. Plus the fact that I was suppose to be on leave on Thursday and Friday definately didn't make things any better. I got an email from my uni alumni couple of weeks/days back and they were having a reunion yesterday night from 7pm onwards. Initially I was rather undecided if I should attend or not because I have never attended such event before and thought it was quite a formal event.

Made some calls to a few friends from my batch and most of them will not be able to make it except for Callista whom I have not seen in ages since uni, so since she said she was going I decided to check it out as well as I needed to unwind after such a stressfull day at work. The gathering was held in Modestos Hartamas and I left work slightly earlier to avoid traffic as it's been raining the past few days and traffic around that area can be unforgiving.

I reached there quite early and there were only a handfull of people around and I met Raj, VJ, Jeanette, Emily,Ivy,Kenneth and a lot more which I can't exactly remember at the moment. Being early has it's perks and I got to mingle around getting to know some people. The topic of conversation mostly revolved around uni and which campus we went to and when we graduated and also what we were currently up to. There were drinks served as well and I got some white wine.

By the time the crowd starting coming in, it was 8pm plus and got to meet even more people. Most of them know each other and this obviously wasn't the first time they are meeting. Me being a first timer was rather overwhelmed with the amount of people there, I think there were close to 30-40 people occopying 3 long tables. The appetizers started appearing and bottles started disappearing. There was a lucky draw as well and obviously I didn't win anything damnit. Next time I'm going to bring extra name cards so I can drop in an extra few in the bowl :D

Dinner was also awesome. We had the choice of roast lamb,turkey and chicken and I tried all three with the roast lamb being sinfully good. By the time dinner was done, there was no more wine and a group of people were busy enjoying their beer. Some speech from the president of the alumni and even more lucky draw and desserts came up. It was a bit funky well at least to me and not many people finish theirs as well.

All in all it was an awesome event and I'm glad that I made an effort to go. For sure the next alumni gathering I will be there to meetup with some of them and this time with a boxfull of name cards. Most of them started leaving close to 11pm and I just stayed chatting with whoever that was left, which was mostly with Emily and VJ.

Rage against the work

This past few days has really been totally upsetting. We are in the midst of intergrating our system with some government agency and it's now going into the second week where problem after problem seems to be occuring non stop.

Yesterday our brand new server from Dell which we got last week refused to boot up. It just switched on and gave some stupid error and halted. Truly a WTF moment. Called Dell support and made a big fuss and luckily our service agreement that we have requires them to provide on site support within 4 hours. The bad part is it's already 4+ pm and I will have to wait until the technician arrives.

They arrived earlier than promised and after much troubleshooting the guy finally replaced the motherboard and everything seem to be working again. Reached home around 9pm had maggi for dinner and fell asleep after that.

Today went to check the server to ensure that all services were running and to ensure that the stupid people manage to get the Oracle replication running. Was initially suppose to meet earlier in the morning but they had some meeting and was pushed to 3pm. What is expected to be done at 3pm when they finish work at 5pm I have no idea. Doesn't matter so still drive there to the government department and the server issues was resolved. Phewwww some good news for today but of course it was short lived.

The other vendor had issues connecting to the server and blamed the network/firewall. So now I had to go chase after the network guy to get him to check the settings on the firewall. After checking and making sure the neccessary ports are open it still failed so vendor said had some issues with the database and the person in charge of the database is on leave. WTF moment of the day !!!!!

This has been my work for half a day for the past two weeks. Chasing after incompetent fools and ensuring that their work is done. Do I look like a god damn baby sitter ?? Bloody hell .. to make things worst I plan to take tomorrow off because I have too many leaves and obviously with all this shit happening I can't. So back to work again I come tomorrow to yet again sit down and watch idiots working. Arrrggghhhhhh just kill me !!!

Heroes

As I was driving past 1U the other day notice this big poster at the side of the road that had the Heroes poster and looks like Astro will be playing Heroes in January. I've been religiously watching Heroes every week as new episodes appear and now it's up to episode 11 and episode 12 will be out.

For those who have no idea wha I'm talking about you can go check out their website here. Heroes showcases the lives of normal everyday people who realise that they have certain extraordinary abilities. Each has a unique ability and with each episode they find out more about their abilities and the purpose of their powers.

The plot is just awesome while keeping everyone disjointed during the first few episodes as random people who have powers. The interesting part about the show is not knowing what might happen next because of the many possibilites that exists with all of the characters.
Definately a must watch. Must give some credit to Astro for getting the series to show here too bad by the time it shows Season 1 would probably be over :D giving me a chance to watch it all over again hahahahha

Friday dinner

My company had a dinner function on Friday night and I never thought that the office could be so cozy and soothing hahahahah. We basically had the office decorated and also a lot of scented candles were used and most of the lights turned off. Not too bad at all. Definately didn't feel like we were in the office with most of the lights turned off. :D

Basically the dinner was to followup on the course that we went middle of the year and to see how it has helped improve our life either in the work environment as well as at home. We were required to write on our experience and hand in to the staff club/change agents and they picked the best two and those two were required to tell their story on their experience in front of everyone. I was rather busy with work and all and didn't feel like submitting so I didn't. We had some extra time and the floor was open to anyone who wanted to share their experience and I was so tempted to stand up and share my experience will all my colleagues but somehow something held me back. I guess I still am afraid of what people might think and start judging me based on what I say but at least I'm trying to get over that. Next year promises to be even more interesting :D

So then we had a birthday party as well. By the time the cake was cut I was so full eating all the food. After dinner some people stayed back to help clean up and obviously I was one of them. Most of the people has gone back and there's only a handful of us. Some music was played and we cleaned up as much as possible and ended up just sitting around the sofa lazing around, chilling in the office. Left the office around 10pm and got home and straight away slept. Was so freaking tired from carrying all the stuff around. Overall it was a very eventfull night and I had fun.

Trace Bundy Acoustic Ninja

So who exactly is this acoustic ninja guy ? After Mia's amazing performance I was browing around youtube and came accross this guy called Trace Bundy playing the Pachelbel's Canon and I thought to myself how interesting can listening to Canon be but since it was the acoustic version curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on the link and thank god I did because I ended up watching the video 2-3 times continously.

It was just so damn bloody amazing. Okay I admit I don't know how to play the guitar and I have no idea how hard or easy what he is doing but the way he plays is just awesome. He's known as the acoustic ninja thanks to his awesome fingertapping skills. Trace Bundy is godlike !!!!

Here is the video of him playing Canon.


Trust Trace Bundy to make a Backstreet Boys song listenable !!!

Whyyyyy ??

It's almost end of the year and I'm suppose to be enjoying the balance of my annual leave but nooooo everything had to happen at the same time. Just had a meeting the other day after work and it lasted 3 hours and left my brains feeling like jello. To top it off we were not done yet and had to continue the next morning which took another 2 hours or so.

After all that the problem was only half resolved because the solution that we came up with involved too much work and time and we might not be able to finish everything by end of the year. To make matters even worst boss said my leave might not be approved for end of the year because I might need to go overseas on Christmas day. Can you believe it ??? Even though I don't celebrate Christmas but I at least thought I would be in KL celebrating it with the people close to me. Hopefully it doesn't work out because of the holiday season and everyone will be flying around.
Today had to go to a government office to get some work done and there was utter chaos. They kept pointing the finger to everyone else except themselves even though I've already expected this to happen but then when it actually does happen it kinda still takes you by suprise especially considering the fact I'm easily irritated this past few days. Damn it !!!

To add salt to the wound here I am waiting for a raise/promotion and one superhero comes waltzing in and hands in the resignation letter and automatically gets a counter offer which effectively means an increment in the salary. Am I not a valueable asset to the company as well ? Doesn't my effort and work matter ? As if that's not enough this year I won't be getting an increment because of some salary cap thing that they introduced recently. Feel so neglected and just want to hand in my letter as well !!!! grrrrrrrrrrrr

Plus plus Zouk Out is this weekend in Singapore and I wanted to go but because of other commitments I had to give it a miss. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ?? *bang head against wall*

I'm too nice for my own good

I've been thinking about this for sometime and I have yet to come to a conclusion. It's been a while since I've been verbally abused and even though I swore I will not let it happen again and yet I just sat there like a fool, being shouted at by someone whom I barely even know. Whyyyyyyyyyy ??? Even after being practically chased away I just stood there like a lost puppy looking at it's angry master hoping for them to calm down, which obviously did not happen.

It took all the strength in my body to turn around and take that first step and walk away. The voice in my head kept asking me to go but the heart just didn't want to respond but eventually enough was enough and with a heavy heart I walked away with my head hung low, as though I was the one who did something wrong and it's my fault that all this happened in the first place.

Why do I need to feel responsible for everyone around me even more so when the person does not even want to be helped ? Why do I take shit from people whom I barely know ? Why do I always swallow my pride and let other people just trample all over me ? I thought I would be able to control my feelings and emotions and not let it get the better of me and yet I find myself in the same situation over and over again knowing very well that in the end that I'm the one that is going to get hurt.

It's as though pain knows my name and often comes looking for me especially when I thought I have left it and it's gone forever out of my life. The best part is the person has said sorry and I never even blamed the person in the first place as I feel I'm somehow responsible for what has happened. Why must I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders ?? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ? sigh

Vocals + acoustic = eargasm !!

I totally love songs with guitar especially if it's acoustic and ever since I heard Mia singing live in MPH (refer to this post here) I've fallen in love with her voice and decided to do more some research on her through her website. She's been singing for quite sometime and she's quite well known as well especially for those who follow the local jazz music scene. Apparently Cynthia also knows about her and mentioned that sometimes she does local live shows and one of the places Cynthia mentioned was No Black Tie.

So even after more searching I found out that Mia will be performing in No Black Tie on Friday 1st Oct, just my luck. Called Cynthia and she said she wouldn't mind going to check out Mia as well. So plans were made for Friday night since it was suppose to be a night of rest after yesterday's night out.

So No Black Tie .. ear i cummmmmmmmm :D

Ghetto ---> DJ Premier

DJ Premier was spinning in Zouk last night and Andre wanted to check him spin. Apparently his quite big in US and part of the leading hip-hop group, 'Gang Starr'. The guys went there much earlier around 8pm or so to have dinner in terrace. I joined much later as I had classes that night.

When I reached there they were almost done with dinner and was just having drinks and I joined Andre and got a jug of beer. So here we were sitting down chilling and enjoying the peace and quiet while waiting to go to mainroom for some ghetto goodness. I think we went into mainroom like around 11pm or so and it was still quite empty.

We just stood near the bar contemplating on what we should have and ended up ordering a jug of long island and then the tequila girls came along and we had a tequila shot each. That's when Aran started dancing and there was this group of ladies who kept looking over and checking him out. Aran the mannnnnnnnnnnnnn :D

Finally after some time the dance floor started getting crowded and the usual hip hop "gang" were there. Primo finally came on to spin and his music selection is totally different than the other dj's that spun in ghetto before. He prefers more oldskool songs and mixes them beautifully. It was an awesome event except that his music definately needs some getting used to as there's a lot of pauses/scratching in between tracks.

By 2am or so I ran out of energy and just stood near the stairs of the dance floor enjoying the aircond and the view. Aran was busy enjoying himself and was interupted by the hip hop "gang" and can see the expression on his face that he definately was not amused. Hahahahah .. that teaches them to mess with the grea anomie :D All this while Andre was missing and I spotted him in the middle of the dance floor grooving to Primo. That's super rare as usually Andre would be the one near the stairs. Hahahahh

We left slightly before 3am to avoid the crowd and while chilling at the entrance of Zouk deciding where to head for some food, I spotted a familiar face among the crowd someone whom I haven't seen since secondary school days and who is now rather popular in the music industry. I was suprised that he even remembers and recognises me. After exchanging numbers I bid him farewell and join the guys where we decided to head to mamak for some food.

Reached home around 3am or so. It definately was an early night alright. The S.E Tan has succeeded in his mission.

The tireds Wednesday

Had classes as well yesterday and was practically slapping myself in class to stay awake. I knew my body needed some well deserved rest and 5-6 hours sleep a day is just not helping. So I decided that today no matter what after class I shall go home and sleep.

Got back home and took a nice shower and turned on the aircond and sat in front of the pc for a while. As I was checking out some websites Aran msg'ed me and said they will be heading to Friendster cafe for a drink. I was sooooooooo tempted to go but I wanted to enjoy my Thursday night and declined the invitation and decided to hit the bed earlier and get some much needed rest.

Somehow one thing led to another and I ended up sleeping around 1am. God damn it I should really not sit in front of the computer if I plan to get some rest.

Coffee, tea or me ??

It was a slow Tuesday at work, well work will always be there just that haven't been really feeling the mood to work. Had classes as well yesterday and we have to decide soon on the assignment and how the work is going to be assigned to each other.

Met up with Tyler, Aran and Andre as well last night for some drinks. Went to Centerpoint after class and we ended up in Starbucks. There was this group of people sitting behind us and they were noisy as hell. It's one thing to have conversations but somehow the voice alone annoyed the living daylights out of me. Must be the lack of sleep. Yes yes that makes sense.

Wanted to have the usual venti americano but decided against it and tried some zen tea which basically tasted like ice lemon tea. What can you do with two notebooks that you can't do with one ?? hahahahah saw this couple sitting in Starbucks with two notebooks sitting down having a drink. Maybe they prefer chatting online ... wahahahahahah .. evil evil me ..

I was freaking tired when I reached Starbucks and kept yawning my head off but as time went by and as it approached 12am I felt more and more refreshed and awake. hmmm I wonder why .. hahahahahah ... creatures of the night ... :D

I think we left around 12+ am and I reached home around 1am and to bed I went.

Settlers once more

It's been a while since I've been to the gym and with all the drinks consumed the past few days it's definately going to take it's toll on the body. So today no matter what I forced myself to head over to the gym. It was damn tiring and because I've been slacking for quite sometime I couldn't do as much or as long as I used to. This is bad !!! Need to buck up if not will not be able to reach my goal for next year.

Vinny and the gang were planning to go Settlers that night and since I had no classes I decided to join as well. Joined them after gym and had dinner there. The chicken chop is not too bad. One of the reason they wanted to go Settlers was because Marlene was back from Australia and will be goin back to her hometown after a few days in KL.

It was a tiring night and I was damn tired after heading to the gym also but oddly enough I only reached home around 2am because I had to send Ricky back to Setapak after Settlers. The things I get myself into. Hahahahhahaha

Sunday a day of rest --- yah rite

So after an exciting but tiring Saturday night, I had to wake up early for my classes. Set my alarm at 7:30am and I think I only got up at around 8ish. So rushed to take my shower and out of the house without breakfast. I knew for sure it's going to be a long day and I decided to take a detour to go get some coffee so I would at least be awake for the first half of class before lunch. Drove to the nearest Starbucks in this case which was in Amcorp mall only to find it closed.

Sat in the car thinking where the next nearest one was and drove to PJ SS14 and lucky they open at 8am. So got the venti iced Americano and off I went to college. I thought I was going to be late and was rushing to college and reached there around 9:05am or so only to find a handfull of people around. I was suprised and checked my schedule only to find out that classes starts at 9:30am. DOHHHHHHHH !!

Classes were suppose to finish at 5:30pm but the lecturer finished off earlier not like any of us were complaining anyway. So here I was sitting around in college wondering what to do. Made a few phone calls and everyone seems to be busy or already made plans to do something later that evening. So spent some time loitering around college getting to know my classmates better :D

Reached home around 6+ pm and was checking my mails when Wai msg'ed me and said he and a few others were meeting at Sunway for dinner. Since I was bored and didn't want to be at home I decided to join them for buffet steamboat. I think I had enough fishballs to last for sometime. The food was not too bad and it was cheap. Less than RM20 each.

So around 9pm with nothing else to do we thought of going to Settlers. So we made our way to Settlers only to find it closed. Grrrrrrr still not wanting to give up we ended up in a Cybercafe. Haven't been to one in months. So after what felt like almost forever I couldn't take it anymore and decided to call it a night. My eyes were so dry and it hurts just to blink. I thought it was like 2-3am and was suprised when I checked the time and it was only 11+pm. Must be damn bloody tired. Reached home and just went to bed. Was mentally exhausted, lucky don't have classes on Monday.

Two weddings and a friend

Woke up on Saturday with a splitting headache, I guess you can call it a mild hangover. Hahahahahah had classes today from 2pm-7pm. OMG torture torture. Lucky I brought my notebook and the wifi was working so I manage to stay awake by entertaining myself on the net.

Had one wedding and a dinner reception to attend to. Jegan finally tied the knot today and his wedding was held in Batu Caves and it started at 6:30pm lucky being an Indian wedding the time where he actually ties the knot will be quite some time after all the prayers and blessings. Reached there around 7:45pm or so and the prayers were still going on. Met up with some of Jegans friends which I recognised. Finally both the bride and bridegroom sat at the altar thing and the priest continued with his prayers and they finally tied the knot around 8:30pm or so.

After that it was dinner time and you could see everyone making their way to the dinner hall. Got a call from Cynthia asking if I had dinner plans and I told her I was in a wedding and had to go for dinner in Klang for another wedding and if she had nothing to do she can join me. So I went to the dinner hall and the crowd was already lining up to get the food. Usually in Indian wedding they serve vegetarian food well most of the wedding I went to anyway but here they had chicken, mutton and even prawns. Didn't eat too much as I had to save space for the round 2 later. The food was good !!! Especially the chicken maybe next time if got events can get the same people to cater. I think I got the contact details somewhere at home.

So called Cynthia after I was done and she agreed to join and asked me to pick her up from her office. Left Batu Caves around 9:30pm and proceeded to Cynthia's working place and we were on our way to Klang. I vaguely remember the way to Mike's place and gave him a call when I was in his housing area and just as I made the turn I saw his house. Most of my other friends had already left and most of Mike's guest were also gone, leaving only a handful of us behind.

We went over to the food and Cynthia immediately got excited upon seeing pink/purple layered jellies and attacked that first. My target was the pork hahaahha. Mike had people serving beer as well and the problem was the girls serving the beer were too efficient. Everytime they noticed the glass not full they will refill it so I had no idea how much I had to drink.

Met up with some friends in Mike place which I haven't seen in ages as well. I think almost 4-5 years and it still amazes me how we can talk like we just met yesterday. Okay the beer might have helped a bit. Before we knew it we were laughing our heads off and I had tears rolling out my eyes. It was so bad until we had to force everyone to stop laughing and take a break cause it was starting to hurt but noooooo one wise fella had to start giggling and again we were having a laughing competition. There was no music so I was bored and got out my notebook and blasted it's tiny speakers providing some form of background music for everyone.

By the time we actually wanted to leave it was almost 1am and amazingly this time, the time was kind to us and I thought it was much later than it already was. Said our goodbyes and I drove Cynthia back to her office to get her car and away I went, back to my lovely bed as I needed sleep since I had classes early tomorrow morning. Everyone around me seem to be getting married. Hope them all the best and maybe they have a little kid soon. Hahahahah

The long long islands

Seeing that it's a Friday night and I've been a good boy the whole week, it was time for some fun. Aran suggested the day before that we go to Zouk for long islands and since I just finished classes it was a welcome break before having classes on the weekend again. Tyler was busy with some training thing and couldn't join us. So it was me, Andre and Aran. Aran also was already in KL watching some show so I picked Andre up from his place and in return he had a nice ice cold beer waiting for me. What a way to start the night.

When we reached Zouk, Aran was already there waiting. Armin Van Buuren was spinning that night in Mainroom but we wanted our long islands so we head over to Velvet instead. Lucky thing we did too because the queue for Armin was ridiculously long. Velvet was quite empty when we arrived and Aran was feeling hungry so we went over to the terrace to get some grub.

Aran ordered some club sandwich thing and not being too hungry I ordered some wedges. Me and Andre were contemplating on what to drink and not wanting to ruin our long island experience we ordered plain water. While waiting for the food to come Aran left us to check out Mainroom. So we were chatting and enjoying the view when I suddenly caught glimpse of this girl with an awesome tattoo on her back and told Andre about it and he was like yah damn cool man and we continued chatting.

Aran got back and told him also and said the tatoo on that girl looks like a picture on your Flikr and he took a look and continued chatting then suddenly he got up and walked over to her. Apparently it is the same person on his Flikr. Hahahahah the wine must have gotten to him, the response a bit slow one. Some girls came over promoting tequila shots as well and we all had one each.

Met a friend also in terrace who came to have coffee. Aran got a shock when he heard that. hahahahahah damn funny. The food arrived somewhere in between and the portion for the wedges is humongous how can 1 or even 2 person finish the thing ? Lucky we had some help from Celina whom I assume is Aran's friend cause he bought her a drink. After filling our stomachs with food and drink we proceeded to Velvet where the crowd started to grow.

As soon as we entered we went to the bar to get our long islands. I had a jug and Aran and Andre shared a jug. Bloody hell WTF wei !!!! ahhahahahha. Met another friend there. He opened a bottle but was struggling to finish it. That's when I roped in Aran and Andre to help him finish it but before I knew it Andre and Aran wanted to go mainroom to check Armin out. The music in velvet that night was so so only but somehow I still manage to find myself on the dance floor with the company of my new found friends :D

Also met this funny dude who dragged me over to his table to meet his friends and have a drink with him and before I knew it I was on the dance floor again meeting the rest of his friends. After a few minutes of that I excused myself and head back to my own friends. I don't know if meeting random strangers is a good thing or not still on the fence on this one. .. hahahahahah

Just like that the night is over and it was time to go back. Made our way to the entrace where I parted ways with my friend to look for the Double A team which obviously were enjoying themselves in Mainroom ... okay that somehow sounded weird .. hahahahah

We made our way back to the car and they wanted to go to Mervin's place to continue partying. We head over to Andre's place first so he can get the car because I wasn't going to be long there as I had classes the next day. Say only don't want to be long, I think I left around 6am and got home tired but satisfied. Live life baybehhhhhhhh !!!

TGIF

Been away from the office for the past two days attending a training in Subang. Since it was so near my house I had the chance to wake up later than I usually do but because of the unfamiliarity of the place, I reached about 5 mins late and the instructor has already started teaching the class. It's a business writing workshop. There were other people there as well from the institute itself.

We had a longer break on Friday due to Friday prayers and since we had nothing to do after lunch some of us decided to head to Subang Parade to go for some window shopping. Yah rite window shopping, ended spending quite a bit. I needed new sports shoes and World of Sports was having sales and I bought of Nike shoes with 30% discount. Quite a good deal I would say plus the fact it was the last pair there. Yes yes I'm trying to justify my purchase. We then head over to MPH to have a look at some books.

There was this one book that I was looking for and I couldn't find it in Borders. So I looked through their computer system and they had it in stock. So obviously I got it, so much for window shopping and not wanting to spend money. While I was walking to the counter I heard this beautiful voice and was immediately mesmerised by it and found myself walking towards it like a bug towards the light.

There was this Jazz singer performing live at the Mph cafe and I immediately just fell in love with her voice and the way she sings. Not being very familiar with the local music scene I had no idea who she was or how famous is she. She was there promoting her single. Her name is Mia Palencia and you can check out her website here.

I sat there for a good 15-20 mins and my colleagues wanted to leave because the class was about to start soon. I was so reluctant to leave because I was really enjoying the music. With a heavy heart I got up and gave Mia a sad look and she gave a nod and I left. Just as I was walking out of Mph noticed that another colleague was missing so I went looking for her and she was busy getting a book so that gave me a few more minutes to listen to Mia singing. She was already singing her last song so I decided to wait for her to finish and get her to sign the single cd that I got.

When she was done I went up to her to get her autograph and she asked where were my friends and I told her I ran away from them to get her autograph. hahhah. She's performing again this weekend in Mph but I won't be able to make it because of classes. Damn it. So after my intresting little afternoon we went back to class just in the nick of time. I would have stayed until the end though if I had a choice.

Mia's new single and I got her autograph. Yipeeee dee doo dahhh

Farewells

Met up with a few friends last night at Settlers to have some drinks and play a few games but the main agenda that night was to say goodbye to Agnes who is going away to Australia.

It was a fun night and got to meet some new people. The highlight of the night was when they brought out the cake and everyone sat around and gathered around. It's like a scene from a movie where everyone gathers around for an intervention. Hahahah.

This is only my second time meeting Agnes and obviously I don't know her very well so I didn't have much to say to her except from what I have observed in the past. Everyone took their turn to say their peace starting off from me and moving on to the people who knew her the longest.

It was a really touching moment especially when tears started swelling in her eyes. Having people who you care about around you on your final days in town before going to a foreign country.

Well even though I don't really know Agnes very well but I do hope her all the best in her future endeavours and hope she enjoys all the opportunities available to her while she's there. Live life to the fullest !!!

Enough - is there such a thing ?

When is enough really enough ? Have been meeting up with many of my old friends this past few weeks and some of them I haven't seen in ages. So obviously one of the topic of conversations would be what we have been up to all this while. Before meeting them I thought I was doing pretty okay in life with the stable job, a car, a house and a close group of friends. Only to realise that they have been planning and working towards a goal which at this present moment of time is not even on my list.

Okay maybe the fact that some of them are married and now with kids their priorities in life are very much different than mine but just the fact that we are the same age and some of them have like 2-3 houses and have setup an education fund for the kid and somehow have even thought about a retirement plan left me dumbfounded. I don't even have any idea what I want to do/should do one year from now let alone think about my future in 20-30 years time.

Been thinking about it a while. I thought I was content and satisfied with my achievements in life thus far but somehow it seems insignificant to others around me. I don't know why I do this. I know I have done something with my life but somehow I keep belittling myself and as a result of it fall into this depression mode wondering what the heck is my accomplishments and what do I have to show for ? So when is enough really enough ?

Somehow I've been trying to fill this void in my life but have yet to find it and I still stray around looking for something which I have no idea what I'm looking for in the first place. I'm so envious of people who seem to have figured out their life and what they want out of it. I'm still groping in the dark familirising myself with the darkness feeling so lost and confused. I'm too young to have a mid life crisis god damn it !!! Grrrrrrrrr

I should stop torturing myself this way and go through this emotional self doubting roller coaster. Chants *I am happy with who I am and what I have done* HECK CARE OTHERS !!!!!

Raya Open House - Pt Dos

So after leaving NA's place CT wanted to drop by the office a while to get something done and to meet up with some colleagues who is going for the open house as well. Halfway there it started raining cats and dogs. More like a thunderstorm actually it was damn difficult to see the road and water was rising very fast at certain areas. CT's boss place is somewhere behind the zoo and armed with a sms as directions we tried to find our way there.

We got near the zoo and followed the directions and came to a road which was flooded. I suspect it was almost knee deep because there was one motorcyclist pushing his bike through the water. There's no way I was going to drive through that. So we just sat there for a good 5-10 mins wondering what to do. CT called the boss and informed of the situation and we got a different route to head to the house.

We made a u-turn and tried to find the way mentioned. The rain was still pouring and visibility was quite poor. We followed the new way to the place which I have no idea where it was cause this is my first time in this parts of KL. Somehow after driving around for what felt like forever and taking one wrong turn we finally got to the place thanks to CT exceptionally memory and navigational skills. Hahahah got treasure hunt next time must ask CT to join already.

We were once again the first ones there because many people decided to either turn back cause of the jam or were stuck in the jam on their way. So we sat enjoying the dinner while waiting for the rest of CT's colleague to appear. CT's boss is damn cool. For someone who is that high level he's down to earth and doesn't impose that feeling of fear that most top management people possess. Met a few people that night whom I obviously can't recall any of their names.

So after filling our tummies and also coz CT needs to head back to office to finish off work we decided to leave earlier since the rain has also stopped and hopefully the road will be clear of jam. As we were about to leave few more people arrive and this time I recognised one of them. I looked close again and yup it was Marion from 8tv. Did you know that Marion is on wikipedia ?? Here's the link to it Hahahahah .. she looks much better in person that she does on the screen. She has one of the sweetest smile .. too bad we had to leave .. all CT's fault !!! grrrrrrrr

Dropped CT back at the car and I reached home feeling bloated and satisfied. Overall it was a slow and relaxing Sunday and I got to meet people whom I haven't seen in a very long time and whom I never thought I would meet.

Raya Open House - Pt Uno

So had an invitation for raya open house yesterday for lunch by my college mate (NA) whom I have not seen in ages. Initially I was quite hesitant to go because well I don't really enjoy being in a crowd especially with strangers but since I had nothing to loose except maybe meet up with some old friends who I have not seen in ages.

I tried calling TN up but I guess he was still KO'ed from the day before. Already made lunch plans with CT the day before and since I wanted to go the raya open house I asked if CT wanted to go as well. So I picked CT up around 1:45pm or so coz the invitation stated 2pm-5pm. Didn't really know the way there but thanks to the easy directions given NA we were able to find our way to NA place's without much problem. The place was quite empty and I think we were like the first few to arrive. OMG damn paiseh I forgot I'm in Malaysia and being punctual is not cool .. hahaha

But being early does have it advantages got to spend some quality time with NA hahaha with NA giving us personal attention and serving us drinks/cookies. After a while sitting in the house feeling a bit awkward we decided to move out to where the food was being served and grabbed a table closest to the food and near the fan. The food was just awesome and the roast lamb was to die for. Started off with mee goreng and kueh teow goreng with fried chicken and some satay then for round two I got the roast lamb especially the ribs. OMG to die for and was sitting there enjoying my food when two other college mates (NH and KT) arrived. So the gang meet up again and we caught up with what's happening and what's happened etc. We were joined by (LW and FA) later as well. I haven't seen those two for like 10 years. OMG it's been so long. LW is married but no kids and FA is planning to migrate to Australia.

We were there till almost 5+pm when we decided to call it a day because we were super full with the awesome food and because CT had another place to go for dinner and asked me to follow as well since CT doesn't know the way there. Since I had no better plans I decided to go just for the fun of it. Hhahaha

Rain rain go away

So I got up early today cause I wanted to get in the office to finish up some work only to arrive and find the doors closed. Arrghhhh of all the days this had to happen the day I decide to come early to work. Stupidsssss .. only manage to get in the office around 8:40am and started checking my emails.

Few minutes later and the phone rang. OMG it's BV again I thought I wouldn't be hearing from BV for quite some time after yesterday but true enough it was BV. Spent a while talking to BV and one thing led to another and somehow we ended up talking about blogs and BV asked if I had one and obviously I just can't lie and say no. So now I have ermmm 4 people (I think) who officially knows about my blog. Welcome BV *waves* nice having you here :D Whatever I say here cannot be used against me okay !!!!! :P ahahhahaha

So I'm sitting here waiting for work to be over so I could head over to college but it's raining so damn heavily and I'm afraid that I might reach class late. I might leave earlier instead will see how it goes.

Me emo biatchhh

So I managed to get up around 7:30am despite the lack of sleep drove to work as I usually do but somehow the drive that usually perks me up before I reach the office felt longer than usuall and I didn't feel the thrill when I do being behind the wheel. I was feeling rather depressed about last night and how sometimes some people don't even try to take the effort to keep up to their word. Also probably because my classes were starting soon more like the next day and the anxiety is killing me.

Reached office around 9am or so and had my breakfast and a nice hot cup of Milo. Ahhhh that somehow helped a bit. As I was just about to settle down into my chair and get comfortable and I got a phone call and guess what. It was BV what a pleasent suprise just when I thought it was going to be a long boring day. BV was feeling shitty and somehow we ended up talking for what felt almost forever. Wait a minute it was because the next thing I know it was already lunch time. Oh oh ... time really flies when you are having fun. The conversation with BV has left me somewhat in a better mood even though it was BV who called and asked to be cheered up. Thanks a lot BV you really made my day, it was fun talking to you and to forget about the trivial matters in life. I manage to get through the rest of the day feeling much better.

Since I just came back from training there where quite a bit of work that needs to be cleared up and I left the office around 9pm plus it was raining as well and I didn't want to get stuck in the jam cause I didn't feel like sitting in the car staring at the red lights behind another vehicle listening to sad sappy songs on the radio. Took a nice shower and had my dinner and sat in front of the pc watching tv series ( HEROES ROXORSSSS !!!! )

Was halfway through and was almost about to call it a night when CC got online. I wanted to ask what happened last night but decided to just leave it at that and just as I was about to logout got a msg from CC saying that CC ko'ed last night and had to be driven back home. That explains a lot. Hahahahahah .. well there's always a next time.

Mambo jambo .. grooovy

So I picked AA up around 10pm and drove over to TN's place. We finished off the balance vodka from the other day and tried using a new mixer orange + lemon. The result was awesome !! CC said usually will be there after 11pm so we left TN's place about 11pm or so since it only takes about 10-15mins to get to Zouk from his place. So the usual gang arrived Zouk around 11:15-11:20pm and we proceeded to head to Velvet for some mambo goodness.

We met JK and HN in Velvet as well and I got a jug of beer. The place was quite pack and lucky we manage to get a small spot near the dj counter at the dance floor. Not too crowded yet was close enough to have enough fun. It was different listening to the tunes in mambo and then grooving to them. All this while I was texting CC back and forth trying to locate CC. In the end I gave up and decided to continue enjoying the night instead of walking around searching for CC.

After a while in Velvet we decided to head over to The Loft to check out the scene there. It was quite empty and I got to chill on the sofa. I wasn't quite able to layan the music and I just sat there on the sofa enjoying the air cond and admiring the view. I think I'm having PMS (Pillow Missing Syndrome) was just so stoned and moody the rest of the night even though I was actually really looking forward to it. AA met up with a friend and left with her. So the rest of us decided to call it a night and go get some food.

Got home and feel asleep around 5:30 am or so. I'm going to be such a zombie at work.

Away from office - Training

I was away from the office for training for two days and it was a refreshing break. The same instructor that tought the first phase also tought this seconde phase. Initially the training was suppose to be in Concorde KL but then was moved to Pacific Regency which is just near to KL Tower. I took the Monorail the first day fearing the KL traffic in the morning and didn't realise that the walk from the Monorail station is quite a distance. Reached the hotel all sweaty and hot.

I would very much prefer Concorde due to it's location but this place has wifi and it kept me going all through the class. The lunch was nothing spectacular as it was a set lunch and not a buffet as most of us were expecting and the food was nothing to shout about. I was nodding off every once in a while and almost fell off the chair once or twice. Hahahaha. During the break the instructor jokingly said no more partying for me tonight since the next day we had another class. I was shocked when he said this. Do I look like a party person ?? oh oh .. hmmmmmm hahahaha


Decided to drive to the hotel on Wednesday as I was lazy. Had some issue with the office and calls kept coming in one after another. Finally managed to settle it and just sat down in the c chair when I got another call but this time it wasn't from the office it was from BV. heheheheh. Talked for almost an hour outside of the class while the instructor was busy teaching . Went throught the rest of the day like a zombie and nothing really much went in lucky I understood most of what he was talking about. Tonight we heading to Mambo .. woooohooooo .. am suppose to meet CC there but then again we'll see how it goes.

The week that was - Summary

Haven't had a chance to post anything the whole of last week. I have no excuses other than the fact I was feeling lazy :D So here is a post about the week that was or at least what I can remember of it cause it was one hell of a week ... really !!!! hahahah

Mon-Wed
Nothing really interesting happened the first half of the week other than the fact BV called me to say hi but I was rather busy and had to attend a meeting so we didn't really had time to talk that much. Manage to head to the gym on Monday and Wednesday so that's all good. Told TN on Wednesday that if possible I wanted to head to Mambo next week to see what is it about cause I heard some good things about it.

Thursday
My colleagues wanted to play volleyball and so I obliged even though I don't really know how to play. There's this new place near our office that has a volleyball, basketball,futsal court. It was my first time there and the place was awesome. There was a kopitiam there and what's even more interesting they had a pool table. Finally there's a place to hangout near the office not too sure if that's a good thing or not, still haven't made up my mind hahhaha. Was at home chilling when I got an SMS asking if I want to join the gang at Ghetto Heaven. Why not man .. haahahah. There was this DJ from UK spinning that night DJ Shortee Blitz. You can check out his website here. His choice of music was awesome not too many commercial tracks and the way he mixes and scratches was awesome. Ghetto baybehhhhhhhhhh ...

Friday
So obviously after Ghetto and enjoying whatever sleep I could get which was only like 2-3 hours it was back to work in a blur blur mode. Managed to scrape through the first half of the day and through lunch. Lucky it was Friday and we have a longer break so I catched up with some much needed rest and was rudely awaken by a phone call. God damn it but lunch time was over anyway at least I manage to get some rest no matter how little it was. I had to leave office earlier as well cause I needed to drop by the college to pay my school fees. Reached home around 7pm when AA called me and said he wanted to be at TN place around 8pm so that didn't leave much time for me to sleep and I decided not too anyway in case I couldn't wake up. So spent the time online catching up on some news. Called AA up before 8pm and told him I wanted to leave and he was still sleeping and told me to take my time so I did just that and left the home aroudn 8:30pm. Hahahahha .. we got some pizza and head over to TN place where we started off the night with some vodka.

We wanted to check out some other places in P Ramlee before going to Zouk so we ended up in Thai Bar. The place was packed and most of them were too busy drinking anyway. So after a while there we went walking around and wanted to head into Poppy and while we were outside comtemplating to pay for the cover charge AA remembered it was Friday and Velvet had promo for Long Island which is much more value for money. Haahhaahh. We were in Zouk awhile. They were having Pure Ibiza night and those dressed in white were given free entry and also had some people dressed up as part of the event. After spending some time there we headed on to Velvet and metup with PL and his work colleagues. Met some very interesting people that night and one of them being Kumar who is this hilarious guy who is super hyper. Hahhahahaa. Went over to TN place after that to chill out. I didn't know I had a pillow fetish. I got hold of a pillow and didn't let go of it for the whole night. Hahhahahaha .. I love pillows. Do you know where is your pillow ?!?!? :D

Saturday
So after reaching home soooo early in the morning went to bed to catch some well needed rest with I was awoken by a phone call by JK saying he got two VIP invites for Tata Young who was in KL for a show in RUUMS. So I called up AA if he's interested to join at first he was hesitant but at the mention of the word free flow he said OKAY !!! hahahha So we got the tickets and ended up in Ruums around 8pm and we were suppose to be there around 7pm. Lucky we were a bit late and were shocked when we reached there and the queue was bloody long. Having VIP invites we thought to ourself no way we're going to line up for this thing. So we got some directions to get to the main entrance. Got in the place and head over to the VIP section where we immediately proceeded to the bar to get our complimentary drinks only to rudely surprised by the guy behind the counter asking for coupons which we obviously had none.

After another guy kept complaining the bartender finally gave us one complimentary drink and it bloody sucked. We were bored and wanted to go have dinner as we were about to leave the place they mentioned that Tata Young was about to get on stage so we head over to the registration counter to ask for our coupons and we got back up to the VIP area. It was a short show with about 4-5 songs. She hasn't got the best voice but her stage presence more than makes up for it.

So after the show and once the coupons were finished (1 beer and 2 chivas mix) we decided to head for dinner. Since we were lazy to go anywhere else ended up in TGIF and ordered our meal. I had a Long Island and AA had a Margarita. So as we were having dinner and chilling I noticed this tall lady walk in and had the same hair style as Tata Young and I told AA this and he said I was dreaming hahaha. She sat down with a group of people on the other side of the restaurant and I told AA no la it's her and he also had a good look and yup it was her alright. Sitting under the same roof as us having dinner. It's my first time being so near a celebrity so excuse the jakun-ness. Hahahah wanted to go get her autograph but I wasn't a groupie and I didn't really wanted to disturb her dinner. Oh yah there's also this cute waitress in TGIF but I was so disappointed when I learnt she was married. Ohhhh well. hahahhaha

It was almost 11pm and we took a slow stroll to Zouk while waiting for the rest to come in. We went in first and the place was still quite empty. We got ourselves a jug of beer and proceeded to find an empty space. The rest came when we were about halfway done with our beer. There was this Gatecrasher party going on where Dogzilla was suppose to be spinning. Most of the music quite alien to me cause long time never listen to trance and the likes. After a while we headed over to Velvet also but it was bloody packed couldn't even really move around.

It was AD birthday on Sunday ( Happy Birthday Biaatttchhhhh :D ) so we decided to take the party else where and ended up in TN place where a few other people joined us. Time to chill again and the first thing I did when I got to the room was to grab the pillow. Hahahahahahha ..

It was one of the best weekends I've ever had and have opened up my mind, body and soul to new experiences. Just when you think you've been living life and unexpected things happens. Really an eye opener. Now I can truly say I'm living my life and grabbing each opportunities by the balls and making the best of it. AWESOME !!!! CHANGE I AM !!!

Company function

So Friday was a little slow for me due to the lack of sleep from the night before. I think I slept like almost 3 hours or so. Lucky we are only working for 1/2 a day because the company is having a late lunch in conjunction with Deepavali and Hari Raya in KL. So manage to survive work and head over to KL for some rest time where I thought I could sit back and relax and enjoy the food and entertainment. Boy was I wrong .. hahahah

As usual in all company events there will be entertainment and people being grabbed onto the stage and this year when I was in my blurrest moment I got pulled up. I was like OMG ... my brain wasn't even switched on and here I am on the stage waiting to be tortured by the emcee's for everyone's amusement. God damn it !!! grrrrrr

So here I was on the stage and was asked to act out a scene with another lady on the Raya morning were we were suppose to be arguing on whose house we want to go for raya. As it is my brain is not working and also my malay sucks and suffice to say I didn't put up much of a fight. If not it would have been a really interesting scene. hahahhaha

So I got home and had a shower and I think I just dozed off after that. I remember TN giving me a call saying that they will be heading to Velvet later that night and asked if I wanted to come along and I think I told him I'll be there and the next thing I knew when I opened my eyes was it was already day light and I slept for almost 11 hours. Hahahah well so much for partying .. sleep prevailed ... :D

Ghetto heaven baybehhhhhhh

Imagine I was out yesterday night on a weekday partying ... me in a club itself is already hard to believe what more on a weekday ... muahahahahahha .. evil evil me .. met up with the usual people for dinner first and then after filling our tummies with food it was time to dance and drink the night away.

We picked up AA's friend from somewhere in Pantai Hill Park before heading over to Zouk and reached there around 11pm or so. Since there were not many people around we started off on the drinks first as they were having happy hours from 10-12pm so we got a jug of beer first to start off the night. By the time it was 12 we were already on our third jug and got a fourth jug just in case hahahaha

That's when the crowd started pouring in and two girls who I assume are working there got up on the podium to dance. OMG they were good. The DJ for the night was DJ Irwan from Amsterdram. The way he mixes the music is awesome from R&B to hip hop to even some classic rock. Awesome .. you can check out his page here . By the time it was 1am the place was fully packed and we were practically surrounded by people and the ladies that night were the shiznit ..

I was having an awesome time enjoying the beat and letting it take over my mind,body and soul. We decided to leave slightly before 3am cause some of us have to actually work the next dayyyyyyy ... arrrghhh so now I'm sitting here in the office half awake with just 3 hours or so of sleep .. the only way to cure it ... more partyingggg of coz .. hahahahaha ..

So bored

So I was sitting in the office after lunch with nothing much to do while waiting for my meeting and decided to browse for some templates. There were like tonnes of them but mostly were targetted for female users. There were a lot with bears,flowers, anime images, stuffed animals and the lists goes on. Finally stumbled across this and I liked the color and layout and decided to use it. So here I present the new layout for my blog ... CHANGE I AM !!!

AA is in the house !!

So after telling TN about my blog, I decided to let yet another person know about it. I informed AA yesterday about my blog after quite a long interviewing session about his views on blogs in general and I guess it's safe enough for him to know about it. Hahahahah .. but either way the more I blog about what I do and who I hang out with sooner or later more people are going to stumble across it so might as well start of with the people around me. So welcome AA and thanks for taking the time for checking out my crap posting hahahhaha :P

Oh and also .. SK oh SK !!!!! I know you're reading my blog .. don't la be silent reader .. post up some comments .. let me know you careeeeeeeeeee .. and thank you very much for lending me your ears and shoulder to cry on when I was down and depressed and needed some advice about stuff .. ahhahahahaha ... and I promise to take up on your offer to come visit you soon !!! :D

Also sorry if all the codes/abbreviations are a little confusing. It's just I'm still rather paranoid about posting all this online and to somewhat protect those people who I talk about here. Anyways it's my blog so just DEAL WITH IT ... aightsss :D

Pant .. puff .. dyingggg

So after such a long break from the gym I finally decided to give it a go once again yesterday. It was damn odd stepping back there seeing all the people running/jumping/carrying weights plus there seem to be many new trainers which I've never seen before.

So to the locker room I went to get change to venture back into the sweaty world of exercising. Wanted to go for some classes first to get myself slowly accustomed to sweating again but I saw the threadmill being empty decided to hop on it and go for a slow jog.

By the end of the half hour my legs felt like they were about to drop off. I was panting and huffing as though I had been running for ever and that's not even running non stop for 1/2 hour more like jog and walk and jog and walk alternating every 5 mins. OMG I'm crap .. ahahhaah .. wasn't satisfied and decided to do another 15 mins so dialled up the machine again and away I went. This time around I manage to jog for 12 mins non stop well at least it was an improvement and now I sit in the office with most of my body parts aching. Arrrghhhh .. CHANGE I AM !!!

Stupid streamyx

I have been having problem getting online for the past few days. No idea what is the problem. Need to call them up and check to see. The stupid DSL light on the modem keeps blinking and blinking and sometimes there's no light at all and even if the DSL light is on and I get connected it will not even last 10-15 mins and I will get disconnected. Initially I thought it was the modem that got struck by lightning but if that's the case I shouldn't even be able to get online right ? Arrghhhhh ... Malaysia Boleh !!!
