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.

Roadtrip

Drove to Simpang Mengayau with a bunch of friends.

***

I've reached the tip of Borneo!!

It was after I missed every single intersections because I am over the speed limit.

And I get a new nickname for it; Mat Simpang.

Not forgetting the two compulsory pose.

Here's my Sabah bible map/page. I will cover all these places in my 5 years here.

BTW how much does it cost to rent a 4WD per day? I have a little thought of getting dirty with muds at Maliau Basin Lost World.

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?

Happy Birthday

I have two birthday celebrations this year.

***

One on 18th June, and another exactly 6 months later.

Owing to a bunch of bored friends at Shenanigan's. But thanks weh.. Really don't know you guys are so fun to be with.

*been having my eyes on the chick on my RHS*

Addition

I got myself a new rack today.

***

RM22.99 for a more organized room. It will make my cleaning job much easier!

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.

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.

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.
