Look at our friend's horny face~

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~)

Cheating The Breathalyzer

Can we really cheat the breathalyzer?

Mt Kinabalu

Carried 12-14 kg of load on my back, taking 12 hours to reach Gunting Lagadan and severe altitude sickness to endure along 8.5 km route to the peak.

I made it to the top.

***

I had 7 tablets of Actifast while ascending, and 2 before descending.

It's 7.4 degrees Celcius on the peak at 0830 hrs. It could be 4 if not because of the sun. A skinny Caucasian took off his shirt and said "Ohh, it's warm!"

My heart screamed, "You bloody motherf*cker.."

Slapped the green board to mark my reach at 4095.2 m. And yeah, 8 is now my magic number again.

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.

Paintball

Last man standing in Kinarut.

A head-shot and 4 other close-range shot leaving blood oozing out.

Samarang team, damn you~~ I'll have my revenge next time! hahahahaha

p/s : Life's kinda good when I stop flying.

Meriah Krismas (Merry Christmas)

Ho ho ho~ There's no snow and fireplace. But the spirit of togetherness bring warmth.

***

Who say Christmas in Peninsula is more happening?

Creativity

At first glance, I thought it is an oil rig.

***

It used to be one. Now it has become a 23-room resort for diver. Located offshore Tawau, nearby Sipadan.

I was wondering whether it is susceptible to WID.

Haha!

Guests

Six days at Kota Kinabalu.

 ***

Libau nick-named Kota Kinabalu as "kota keriangan". Roshan has previewed Kota Kinabalu weeks before their trip here. Hanum is getting to know every UTPian that I know. And the web is expanding. Roshan booked Libau's flight ticket on the same day he is due to land here. All has became "kota kesedihan" when Libau was turned away from T2 without realizing the wrong itenary at eleventh hour.

Roshan left yesterday night. Libau left hours ago with a new itenary.

Somebody called me workaholic just now. No, I'm not! It's the passion.

Sunset at Kundasang.

Forgetting The World

Forget about stressful job, forget about the long flying hours, forget about dangers of night-drive without proper rest beforehand.

And we zoomed up to Genting Highlands from Bidor, minutes before half-past eleven. Thick fog and we barely see the signboards leading to the parking. But my initial step into First World Plaza invoke a lot of memories.


Who cares if we collectively lost RM3000? (BTW I lost RM200 only) We laughed our way into the casino, and we laughed our way out.

We left at around 6.00 AM. Had an hour nap at Batang Kali Shell station and a good breakfast at Sungkai. Combo with 2 hours of laughter again during breakfast.

The moments shared are priceless, as if we have forgotten the world this morning.

Ranau Roadtrip

When the stresses at work push me to limit, this is what I do..

#1 : Trying to jump off the cliff overlooking Mt Kinabalu

#2 : Attempting 10m freeboard at Kundasang War Memorial

#3 : Tried looking for toilet in vain, but I am finally relieved.


#4 : Harrassing the green kelah at Luanti

#5 : Calculate how long it takes those guys to run to the peak of Mt Kinabalu

#6 : Attempting to repair PL118 at Poring hotsprings


# Finally, washing away the recent bad elements surrounding me into the pool! "choy, choy!"


MEnd pulled out at last. Seems like Poring is proven a good place to wash away bad elements!

p/s : This is post #5 to bait you all to come over to Sabah.

Tia Maria

Live band, live band, and live band. It's everywhere in Kota Kinabalu. This is taken at BB Cafe Kota Kinabalu.

Oh, I got jealous when an Indian-Sabahan couple starts kissing at a few tables from us.


But, I ain't high on Tia Maria on the next working day~

p/s : This is post #4 to bait you all to come over to Kota Kinabalu.

Of over-shot, open house, Wendy, Martin and Tamparuli

Waking up at 10.00 AM, forgetting a meeting at XXX is not my fault. It is "Saturday's fault"!

So I decide that I must get out from the border of Kota Kinabalu city today. Where to? Wendy & Ezra's open house at Tuaran, 45 minutes away from my rented unit in Kepayan.

Don't worry, wz. That is not Natasya's baby. She is not able to make one in 4 months time

since her posting here.

Tamparuli country side with many cows grazing

This is the new Tamparuli bridge, built after the previous one been washed away by strong current.

And to prove that I am in Sabah at the moment, I post a picture of me
and the Ranau's lengui of Unduk Ngadau.. (Wendy yang suka gaduh dengan Martin)

Upcoming plan next weekend : Poring Hot Springs

p/s : This is post #3 to bait you all to come over to Kota Kinabalu.

i'm going to bed

Hours of non-stop live band. All up-to-date songs. Hot chicks everywhere. Just that it's without a bed. I wonder what happen next if there are beds.

I'm really going to bed now after a few drinks.

p/s : Post #2 to bait you all to come to Kota Kinabalu.

Fire

Recently I had been busy with work. Ya ya, I know I FFKed so many people and turned down so many gatherings. I feel so sorry for it and I will make up in Kota Kinabalu. Drop me a message if you come!

Who cares whether it's first oil or not, now we have first fire in Samarang on 09-09-09.

Bye Samarang, for this week. Next week I'll come again by boat!

Quick Updates

Er....

Can I have one of them to bring me to platforms?

The larger one please..

p/s : These photos are intended to "bait" you all to come over to Kota Kinabalu.

Yes, I am bored here.

Why I Must Always Choose Counters Manned by Female

Bloody KTM ticketing officer!

Yes, Malaysia boleh. Semua boleh. Everything boleh. Now 1Malaysia. Performance first.

I need Intercity ticket from KL Sentral to Sungkai. So I go to the ticketing counter and ask whether it is still avalable. An ugly looking m*therf*cker is manning the counter. Okay, I forgive him for being so ugly and being an eyesore.

***

"Sir, good evening. Malam ni, ada tak lagi tiket Antarabandar ke Sungkai?" I asked. After a few click on the mouse and a few taps on the keyboard, "Sudah habis, encik."

SOS call to my brother at Seremban, asking for help. He asked me to take Shuttle instead of Intercity. Okay, I said. I walk back to the counter, and an average looking Malay girl is at the same counter.

"Hi, cik. Ada tak lagi tiket Shuttle or Antarabandar ke Sungkai ke, Ipoh ke, Tapah Road ke..? Saya nak balik Bidor." To my surprise, "Sungkai pukul 8.00 malam? Ada lagi. Ekonomi ataupun second-class?"

"Kak, second class la. RM13.00 kan? Thanks for the effort untuk cari tiket saya ni."

I proceed to the purchase counter, and to my suprise again, the same ugly m*therf*cker is attending to me.

It is spontaneous that my facial expression turn to the "fiercest, displeasure, angry, fuck-face, nak-kena-jolok-kah, anak-haram-ko" and gave him a stare of his life.

And I asked "Sir, what's your name?"


He gave me RM37.00 of change, although I handed only two pieces of red notes to him just 2 minutes ago. My ticket cost only RM13.00

Thank you, m*therf*cker. It's saddening that I couldn't recall your name.

You are forgiven.

Weekend in KK

Yesterday.

Well, I had very good appetite for dinner last night with 5 beautiful girls surrounding me. Haha Ieja thanks for the treat!

Today.

Jalan-jalan at City Mall.


This is Pesta Perkahwinan Kota Kinabalu held in City Mall. They are doing showcase of A-Z marriage packages. I think it's all-in, including the venue of the banquet, photos and bla-10x.

The best part is that a middle-aged lady is looking at the bride, literally without blinking her eyes. I guess she's remisniscing her olden days, imagining herself in that pretty dress.

Martin complained that the models are too skinny, while I think they are just fine. The girls (READ : the model bride) kinda turn me on!

Car Shipping

My new baby will reach Kota Kinabalu in 1 week time! Yayyy~

It's a Waja 1.6M, year 2005 with 65000 km of mileage. Standard specs with no modification. CD player included with two additional tweeters mounted on top left and right hand side.


I consider this my convocation present, which I need to pay for. My dad bought this car weeks ago for me, and I will service the loan to him!

To those that is being posted to East Malaysia, contact me if you need to ship your car over. I'll give you the shipper's details. No worries, coz I am not taking profit for myself. It's just that I don't feel appropriate for me to publicize the shipper's details here.

For a start..

RM2000 exact, to ship a car from Port Klang to Kota Kinabalu. You (1) drive the car to Port Klang, (2) bring the car registration card and (3) a photocopy of car owner's identification card (I/C). (4) Somebody will call you when the car reaches the destination port. They will enquire you for verification before handing the car keys to you. (5) Only 3 days is required to ship the car from Port Klang to Kota Kinabalu, plus additional 1 day for customs clearance and administration nitty gritty.

p/s : I'll be away to KL on the day the car reaches KK. Who's taking it for me??????

I Like This

When everything is computerized, life's good!

I downloaded this MAS e-Timetable while waiting for my flight to Miri at 8.40 PM. Apparently the flight was delayed for 30 minutes. I was cursing like hell when all I want is just to reach Miri on time at 9.35 PM and call it a day.

Not anymore. Hahaha I sounded like an advertisement!

This is the welcome screen.
(From this picture I deduce that almost all pretty MAS cabin crews are Malays)

Set your origin and destination and press "Enter". Pooff all flight schedule comes out!

Check the details and make a booking!

p/s : At least this time around MAS is able to soothe my frustration by offering this e-Timetable!
