Reaching location. Home for the night

FESI group photo (Hmm I'm in full PPE!)

Bravo! I worked on this revisit for exactly 1 year

I want to go back KK! I swim!!!

There you go!

Before November Ends

Travelling. Waiting.

***

These 2 words are too routine in my daily list now. I have always said to my friends "Eat breakfast in KUL, offload in BKI, all in a day." Trips to KUL getting more frequent and at times I have to fly in twice a week. Travelling took too much of effective man-hours that I have to steal my personal time for work. 100 hours a week is not surprising from my office gate time-track. Oh that is inclusive of weekends.

I'm trying to make a difference to my workplace. Many things are not in place for the past 10 years. My personal commitment (apart of work commitment) is to make the change and to set up the facilities. It is now 1 year and 7 months since my first day on the job. The gauge is now at 70% completion with ETC in March 2011. Changing things along the way is not easy as my workplace is famous for being laid-back.

By then, I have delivered my promise to my superior on the day I stepped into Level 6. Looking forward, I would be searching somewhere else to contribute. Most importantly, somewhere that gives me better pay with work-life balance. (Mom is nagging me to find her a daughter-in-law. Sorry mom not now~)

Najib Razak

Many who like Anwar Ibrahim like him

And the new BearBeary video!

Glued

Glued to this SACS software since early February. My aim is to become a power user in 1 year time.

***

One of the project where I am the discipline engineer.

Went to white water rafting at Padas 1 week ago. This will be additional activity for my visitors here in Kota Kinabalu.

Lin Yu Chun

I was like....

Damn, is he Whitney Houston??

***

Click to play.

The judges are totally speechless. So am I.

New Battery Pack

I got myself a new battery pack for my Vaio.

***

I could not afford the original battery pack which could set me back by RM700.00. Ta daaa~ I bought a compatible battery from Low Yat. Albeit different rating, it still pass the acid-test. The compatible pack lasts 2 hours on maximum LCD brightness. Bravoo~

p/s : This is the month of batteries. My car battery died off 2 weeks ago!

Bloody S*ny Va*o

Hardware virtualization will never be available on Sony Vaios, regardless new or old model. Period.

***

This statement from designphilosophy slapped me hard.

Period.

Buaya

Most of my readers think I am a buaya. According to commonly accepted Malay proverb, buaya is crocodile. But literally.

***

Buaya is a guy who physically seems faithful to his partner. In the absence of any looking eyes from people known to the buaya, he will unleash the buaya characteristics. Bounce forward and crunch his prey ;- female prey, into his mouth.

Statistics shown that 92% of my reader think I am a buaya. A colleague of mine said I am legend in courting girls at supermarket.

But looking from my current situation, I guess the readers need to pass the buaya crown to other deserving guys.

Oh, nothing. Just out of boredom and stress. I am looking forward for the weekend at Kota Kinabalu.

p/s : 

Engaged

Oh my elder brother is engaged with his long-time partner on 18th Feb 2010!

***

I need to look for one as soon as possible!

I am an engineer,  a workaholic, a smoker, drink occasionally, not a playboy but people call me sweet-talker. Looking for a fair, petite girl from Chinese educated background.

Anyone?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

From KL to KK

His Excellency Muar Taiko, Shawn Ong Wei Shen is now at Kota Kinabalu, sipping Carlsberg in Waterfront, bed.

***

I am proud to host His Excellency in my house for an undetermined period of time.

He had 2 cups and was steady all along. He enjoyed his first time watching live band.

10 Honest Things About Me

I'm saying the truth.

***

kahling, I need to cut it shorter.

1. I have just got home from birthday dinner.
2. I am still in bankers and leather shoes.
3. I am still wearing my socks.
4. I am in my room.
5. I am sleepy.
6. I am tired.
7. I am yet to iron my shirt for tomorrow.
8. I am yet to shower.
9. I am yet to lock the grill.
10. I am yet to dry my laundry in the machine.

I am going to shower and sleep.

p/s : Happy birthday soh poh..

**Updated 8/1/10 - And I reached office 1.5 hrs later today coz kahling tagged me!

Today

Demotivated by the performance evaluation results and rumors that I am getting M3.

***

 I guess I should make my move now.

Counterparts 1688 km away can appreciate my effort, but not people who are only several staircases away from me.

I find it hard to contribute dillegently anymore.

Should You Buy Her A Drink?

If I could put every process in a flowchart, I definitely would.

***

I have put up a new dedicated label "FLOWCHART" below.

Yuhooo~

Blend into KK life.

 ***

I took this picture from my apartment balcony. Today I have realized that never did I reached home at 5.00 PM sharp. It's not any special day. (not that I have a date tonight :P ) But I've learned to steer towards the left lane. Taking life slowly, one thing at a time.

p/s : My list of new Sabahan vocabs - mulau, palui, terlepahi, bidak, berhambur, bambangan, tawar(RRR - plz rattle the R pronounciation)

Perfectionist ; Part III

This is my argument on why we must be perfectionist.

***

A picture speaks a thousand words.

But it's fine, as long as rainwater doesn't seep through the gaps.

Perfectionist ; Part II

I observed my own self today.

***

I disapprove a project because the unity check of one single structural member is above the stipulated limit. I do not think I am over-reacting to the situation.

But I am not disapproving it and shelving it.

I am trying to settle for less than perfection. I 've found out that it is just a small detail of the bigger picture.

I will approve it on Monday.

Another stressful day passed.

Consider me being in an unlucky seat or blessing in disguise, I am soldiering on.

p/s : haha I ain't emo. Just reflection.

p/p/s : No "cucuk lampu" this weekend. Quote for the day is " Oh saya ingat di Sabah hanya ada sumandak aja..ndak saya terfikir ada penyu"

Perfectionist

Perfection can be attained. Perfection must be attained. Anything less than perfect is unacceptable.

***

I've asked 5 persons about it and they say I can be a little pushy to attain perfection. Well with that statistics, I couldn't dispute it anymore.

I find a single dot of dust in my room unacceptable. I will spend 20 minutes everyday, checking and cleaning my room. I term myself perfectionisme induced germophobia.

I want the arrangement of my stuffs in room to be in perfect order, but I had to forgo it now due to work commitment.

I want my partner to be good looking, good in kitchen and good in, ehem you know where. So far I couldn't find any more possible candidate.

Similarly, I want my car in perfect condition, but unfortunately it has lost its "virginity" from the backside yesterday. The slight collision took away my first wife in Sabah. (So-called first wife is at the west side). The gaps are out of the default fitting, especially between the tail-light and the bumper. The incident is combo to my problem with JPJ just 6 hours earlier.

Oh to mitigate the streak of bad lucks, I promised myself to become a vegan for one day. It is very unfortunate too, that I forgot my word after 12 hours. I had an egg and 2 pieces of chicken for lunch.

Life's too ( please insert a better word than "colorful" ) across the South China Sea.

Perhaps I should ignore irrelevant small details aside and learn how to settle for slightly less than perfection.

CHEATING FLOWCHART

COWS

ECONOMICS 101 : Models Explained


SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows, so you give one to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

MALAYSIAN BUMIPUTRAISM: You have two cows, the State takes one and gives it to your bumiputra neighbour. From the milk you sell from the remaining cow you buy a bull and mulitply your herd. The State take 30 per cent of your herd as it grows and give them to your bumiputra neigbour. Your bumiputra neighbour has a kenduri each time they
receive a cow.

UMNOPUTRAISM : The State takes 30 per cent of your herd and parks them in Switzerland in the name of some UMNO official or close relatives, friends and sons-in-law.

MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT LINKED OR BUMIPUTRA CORPORATION : You have two cows. You employ mainly bumiputras to milk them. But both cows have been sent to the kenduri, so the State gives you more cows and write off the losses of the first two. After several kenduris later, you invite an American or German Corporation to turnaround the losses. The Japanese have however already taken their two original cows back home to Japan .

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.

ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows because you're sobering up and open another bottle of
vodka.

A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5,000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.

A CHINA CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine
productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them

A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are mad.

IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy.
