2007-10-10T08:38:00.000-07:00

Sigh... what happens if you have a beautiful picutre like that and you fill it up with shortcuts for your desktop??? Before we look at my desktop I'll give you some insight about this picture. Its a Phoenix Nebula...Don't actually know if it's real or painted/photoshop by some funny dude.But it looks cool right! Got bored with the previous water lily pictures.

So here's the View of my Desktop filled with shortcuts and stuff here & there...

I spoiled the picture man...Hahaha.Totally killed this picture man.Reminds me of the X-men when there's the reborn of Phoenix.Totally reminds me of the good old days were we got back from school and turn on the TV just to watch Cartoons. Anywaysss enjoy the rest of the week boys & girls...

Holy Sheep !!! Stayed for 1 month at Ongzebo

2007-10-09T09:44:00.000-07:00

I moved in Ongzebo last month 8th September and now it's already 10th...So I've been here for 1 month...I never really been away from the other house for more than 1 month.So this is something new to me.Feeling alright.Getting used to stuff such as which switch turns on the fan and lights, cleaning the house (my gf thinks it my new hobby to keep the house clean) err what else??? Oh yeah I kinda like watering the plants round my house...hahaha I sound like a HouseHusband to be.
How did I spend my 1 month anniversary?I got back and watch uninterrupted MTV or is it Channel V??? Cannot remember the new numbers to astro.Anyway as I was watching I caught this video

Wahh really brings back memories man.That song was from 2000 or something around there.Hahaha some of you might laugh-la...Cos "manly" group with "manly" song right

A part of me laughs, a part of me cries
A part of me wants to question why,
Why is there Joy,why is there pain,
Why is there Sunshine in the rain,
One day you're here, next you're gone,
No matter what we must go on,
Just keep the Faith and Let love lead the way
Everything will work out right
If you let love lead the way

Ah ha and that's how I spend my 1 month anniversary watch Spice Girls hahaha
And yes Janvier I do have the time so I will continue this Meme

Those School
Favourite Subjects:
I don't really had any favourite subjects in school don't know why but the subject in secondary school either get too difficult for my small brain or I'm never good at it.I did live Biology where we get to cut open frogs... but other than that nothing much.Maths.. not good at it...physics... not good at it...Pendidikan Jasmani wahhh good cos get to watch sweaty girls in their T-shits (drools).I do have plenty of favourite subjects during Uni days but then again we'll save it for another Meme

Favourite Teacher:
Same same-la.Can't even remember the teachers name...Oh yeah Mrs Chong the English teacher.We did had many fun times as she had creative ideas on letting us create our own commercial in class.And we did remember someone made a commercial on "REPLAY" safety seat belt. Maybe Mrs Cathrine who isn't actually my teacher but rather a teacher/counselor in school she did impressed on me the recipe for success
1.Keep reaching for your dreams
2.Stay focused on it
3.Have good allies along your way
4.Keep studying (yeah right)
5.Keep changing constantly (the most difficult of em' all)

Worste Subject:
Everything???Nah.. none-la... Gotten lazy to think

Sat Beside A Boy or Girl?:
I sat beside boys JasHoo,then Ming Kien, then Andrew, then there's Vignesh and then now I'm feeling very very oldddd cos I cannot remember
I sat beside girl... errr T.PohHwa... and she had a really embarrassing moment sitting next to a nerd like me.. and i think there is someother girl but I can't remember

Hold Any Positions In School?:
Errr I was the Captain of the Rumah Biru sports house...hahaha really I have the school's magazine to prove it.The funny thing is I wasn't voted for the position.I was given that position cos eveyone in that stup*d house were either really naughty or samseng liked guys.And so the Dear Pn.Loh handpicked me hahaha..Other than that... I was an AJK or secretary for what English club??? can't remember.

Represented The School In Any Competition?:
Coral Speaking where we were all in a group and we lost out flat flat flat (wasn't my fault we were bad-lar)
School Prefectoral Games where I got a really huge a$$ scar on my leg (the only clear visible scar there)
Scouts Petaling District Intertroop where we WON !!! Whooo Hooooo my bro has the picture of us carrying the trophy

Still Keep In Touch With Schoolmates After All These Years?
Ah Bah Then... Got-lar some friends who come once in a blue moon with crazy alcohol ... I dunno-lah but I'm sure you all know HOO is the culprit.Then there's the regular people at Bongzebo,Padang and Dota? Still do keep in touch and I'm very proud I'm able to keep in touch with these Fine Girls and Boys who laugh with me (or at me)

Did Form 6?
Nope.I did a Diploma in UPM... Not many people get a chance to do a diploma... I got lucky or unlucky...

Argh its already late... Gota sleep sleep sleep...
One of the not so good sides of staying alone.You don't have people to wake you up if you really wanna be a sloth in your solid bed... sigh... Have a great week people

Your fragile Folded Wings

Are you just tired from the pure blue skies

You don't have to force your smiles to anyone

It's okay to smile...for yourself

That lonely feeling keeps creeping up on me

A single candle still burns inside

There shouldn't be an expensive chandelier in a wild place like this

Can I really bury it all with empty words?

I don't even know anymore...

As long as we can swim freely in our dreams

We don't need that sky anymore

Even if you can't let go of the past

I'll still be there to meet you tomorrow

Your fragile Folded Wings
Are you just tired from the pure blue skies
You don't have to force your smiles to anyone
It's okay to smile...for yourself

Alones by Aqua Times

I guess it how I'm feeling now... Tired from the pure blue skies or what other people see.Tired of being good at work, good at life, tired at how things are.And in the end you're forcing yourself to smile to others.

I just finish watching Bleach 141 at the same time I found out my Nakama's left me out for something. In one part someone did ask what happened to these group of friends??? Why didn't they attend school ? (they were busy as Death Gods fighting evil dudes) Did they ran off doing something FUN without Me? Which they did...

Sad sad sad.Is it because its my fault? Being busy? or acting busy? Or it it that I fail to let them know that I was available? Or is it because they took it for granted? Or is it that I wasn't' interested? (which i was 100% interested)?Or is it that I have such a BAD character & behaviour of talking crap away that people just want wait to ignore me therefore they ignore to invite me?And you wanna know the best part??? It already happened to me twice... being left out!

I guess people see what they want to see.They see that he's a lucky fella staying all by himself being in his castle. However people see what they want to see. They fail to realize when they get back at least they have people to talk to... people they see when they are back home.I don't get to see people when I get home...I don't get to talk to anyone (chatting isn't the same) when I get home.And soo there is this Huge Void in me that wants to meet people or do things together.

And so I choose not to force my smiles to anyone

But smile to myself first...

Sorry Dear Nakama's going to hide in my cave awhile... As my fragile folded wings are broken...

I'm Aliveeee

Pre & Post Merdeka

2007-09-02T07:38:00.000-07:00

Merdeka flewwww soo fast.And all we did was watch fireworks go bang bang bang.Andrew said it's Million Ringgit gone in minutes.But worth it-la to see all the bright lights and bang bang here and there.We didn't do much.Just hang out in our Regular Spot "the Padang". And so how did i spend the week before Merdeka?

Shopping for 25 families.Yes Shopping...Our church organized a trip to an Orang Asli settlement somewhere near Tapah.My job was to buy the food.Yup here's the pic of 50% of the food from my car boots.I had to vacume the next day just in case ants start nesting in the car.3 guys had the task.Mr Wong,Mr Wong and Mr Ong.It's funny to buy sooo many cans of sweetened condensed milk an filling it into the shopping card.Then the Maggie Mee,Salt and Sugar.The worst part was buying the 28 Packets of 10kg rice.Even seen someone buying soo much??

And here's a fact for you guys...Did You Knowwwww That we Thai Rice is controlled item in the Retail Outlets??? So you are not allowed to buy 28 bags or rice per family per day in a single receipt...Buttttt you can do so with Local Rice... Ohhhhh And Nowssss You KNowsssss.Yeah No kidding I had to go for the local rice with Dato or Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan on it with says Local Rice.The total bill came out to nearly Rm500 just for the rice alone.And here's another fact.Did you know the the Carrefour shopping trolleys are pretty strong and can withstand your shopping groceries up to 140kg and equivalent of 14 bags of 10kg rice...Ohhh and Nowsss you knowsss.I was really surprised that 2 trolleys are needed just to hold 28 bags of 10kg rice (total of 280kg).Everyone kept staring at us like the election is coming and it looks are if we're going to stay at home just in case something bad happens and we'll run out of rice.

Here's a picture of the church that we attended and we had a fun time with these people(oh yeah we visited them after merdeka 1 Sept 2007).They live really simple lives kids play with Lastic for entertainment and what do they shoot??? Birds, Squirrels, Insect and blah blah blah.Someone did ask them if they had any worries in their life... They answered "Nope we don't have any worries".Puts us all to shame where we live in brick homes airconditioned and all that but still worry alot every single thing in the world today...

These families have a Huge Waterfall as their playground.Fresh Air,Fresh Water and Fresh Fruits.We got a taste of their fresh fruits bananans that taste really really good.Some ~~smart~~ not so smart said that these bananas could make good Goreng Pisang. What man... Ala Natural also need to fry it??? then sure lost all its flavour already...

It was a good trip.Helps me to remember how we should all just be like them contented with what we all have.Oops sorry no pictures of the Orang Asli (they do wear clothes and we did donate used clothes for them).

What else??? Oh yeah I've got a new toy...

Hehehe. It's not actually my new toy rather it belongs to the company.The thing is they didn't gave me a screen protector so I was asking my sis should I buy one?? Then again why should I ? After all it doesn't belong to me what...So how? All I did was to ask my dear sister to give me a sticker.And I got a green worm hahaha.Just in case I misplace it with my colleagues and then all I have to do is find the green worm.Don't ask me what model cos all I knwo now it's a green worm model ...
Here's how the whole thing looks like.I'll call it green wormie?? Gonna say bye bye to sms-ing while driving...
I did went hunting for furniture over in the evening and nearly got conned by a Malay Furniture Shop Lady.Then again that's anther story.Will use the green wormie to take pictures already.HAve a great week people...
Hahaha I like Mr Bong's comment on the INDONIKEA !!!

Ladders,Termite Man and ToolBox

2007-08-27T07:46:00.000-07:00

Being a ~~cheapskate~~ someone who values money I needed to save as much as I can when deciding on the house. So I hired Bob the Painter.The only thing about Bob the Painter was... He couldn't afford those really good long tall ladders that professionals use.So what he suggested? For me to buy some sticks and nails for him to Build one.Yes Bang Bang Knock Knock.I got all those wood for RM40 only and found out that if I rented those expensive ladders it'll cost me Rm 50 a day.So Heck I bought the wood.Bob had an Indon assistant and it only took him less that 5 minutes to build this 10 Feet (yup no kidding aprox 10 feet) ladder.Power man.I got him a saw and a hammer.He just went straight measure a bit bit and then saw saw saw bang bang bang and wala ! He got this ladder Hahaha. The picture show the ladder nearly reaching the ceiling of the ground floor room.

So what else happened for the week? Called our regular Pesticide Man Mr Chan to help check around the house for any termites. Mr Chan came with his ~~gay~~ Non-Masculine son who goes to the gym.But the son very good-la he even went all the way up to the attic to have a look & spray spray with whatever chemical they used.

He didn't charge me so expensive and even gave me some sticky tape to trap lizards and some rat poison to place around the house. No kidding.

This picture looks weird...But as usual I took all the pictures without them knowing. I told my mum I took the pictures and she ask me to take their faces-la."After all they are friend-friend so no problem" that's what she said. So the verdict... No Termite problems around the house.The wood still solid.

And then one of the night I needed to go find some tool so needed a shopping partner.Andrew was free no gym so we went round finding for tool.Just a simple basic one with at least a hammer and a screwdriver. Went to Tesco cos I thought they had good China Tools there but ANdrew suggested Ikea.No regrets man walking tru the drizzly rain across the road.This tool box comes with a BOX hahaha and it's orange in colour.And it value for money so can use-la for a simple house.Listen to my dad he said "what for use expensive tool...you are not a professional also". But I really like my tool box.It's cute and a little bit rubbery for the tools to fit in the slots.So who needs a Hammer??? Give me a ring!

A Special Meal ???

2007-08-23T07:25:00.000-07:00

I had an Organic Lunch with one of my customers the other day.Was suppose to spend him and his wife but it ended up that he belanja me instead...Yeah-la cos he's much older (59 years old funny how many things you can learn from others just with a simple lunch) plus he has lotsa money also.
The thing about having an organic food for a meal is the "fact" (no bluffing) that you can really feel the difference when you sit on your throne in the toilet.The "stuff" just flows out without any "umph".And that's what happened to me but I was a bit shocked...Why cos the colour turn out to be red.So the 1st thing that ran through my mind...Am I having Periods??? Hemorrhoids bleeding...not that I know of ? Then I realize...it's the same colour as the Dragon Fruit ! Dammit Got Conned.

Trying to find this MP3 for this video.Pretty cool.It's the 6th Theme song for Bleach by Aqua Timez a Jap group not like the Aqua we all used to listen to.Liked the sketches of shoes running around.Looks easy but I bet it ain't.

Here's the Cute Version by the same song.The Teddy Bear(Kon)starts the intro of the song.Enjoy... Yikes Been blogging 2 days in a week...Exceeded my quota already!

Bob the Painter ! Can he Paint it ! Yes He can !

2007-08-21T08:54:00.000-07:00

Was busy as usual.Getting a house all painted up ain't as easy as it looks...
Imagine having all THESE buckets of Paint into a 8 year old car.And it fits... A miracle.Thank God it fits.Of course I had to get rid of all the ~~crap~~ work material from the car boots first.These paints include 2 buckets of 18liter Martex for the white ceiling, one bucket of 20 liter Weatherbond for outside both front and back, 11 cans of this Satin glow paint for the inside walls and one more dunno what 9000 for the door frames and room doors.

Anyway from the 14th August to 17th August the house of occupied with Indons.Yes but I think they have permit cos they were recommended by a Dr (my customer) who happens to be a RELA member and who happens to have a real legal gun.So if anything bad do happen I know who to find to "shoot" the fella. Oh yeah the painter's name is Bob (Bobby's he's full name) so I call him Bob the Painter.And this painter is very Mobile Savy.He even knows how to SMS :)

This is how Bob looks like.From the back of course.I a bit shy to take his picture straight at his face.But even if I did ask to take a picture of him I guess he wouldn't mind.He's those really friendly Indon dude who really smiles at anything and everything.He's a bit dark for an Indon even my mum thinks he's an Indian.A pretty hardworking dude as he came in from 8.30am and works all the way til 12 for his lunch (don't think they take breakfast) then takes a bit of a nap til 1.30pm and works all the way to the evening until 6pm stops for dinner and then works all the way til the night at 11.30pm
Oh yeah this view is from the inside of the hall.Bob is painting the Gate with his Bright Red Shirt but no worries there's a Huge Tear at the Ketiak there so it's an old shirt.Yup abit on the hardworking side of Indon.The thing about them is when they work they really work.No talking... REally no talking at all but they need nicotine of PallMall and GudangGaram to keep them going on and on and on and onnnnnn.

All i had to provide them is some small rollers/brush/thinner and some paint here and there.Oh yeah and then there's the RM40 of ladder made out of wood.I'll get those pictures for the next post.

Some tips when painting with Bob:-

1.Make sure you have enough paint (which also means the same colour same brand/same colour number)

2.Do Not buy too many paints (as you will have to Mandi with it if it's too much)

3.Always ensure you know where to get paints from your nearest hardware shops...Makes sure you Do Know other alternative Hardware stores if your regular doesn't have the colour you need (I had to drive up and down 3 different stores to get a correct colour).You will also need some tools like scraper/thinner to get rid of the paints on the floor.

4.Have lotsa Old Newspapers of if you could get hold of Larger Card boards it would help Bob to paint without having raindrops of paint on the floor.Why Card boards are better?? Cos it isn't as fragile as paper even if you turn on the fan and it's portable for him to move it round.

Okay talking too much already as usual.Hope you guys have a great week ! Thanks Bob ! He did a good job.Come over to have a look when the house is Done !

How Does A Tapir Start A New Home ?

2007-08-13T06:56:00.000-07:00

Janvier didn't want me to stop at 2 post so me continue-la.But I have no idea to Hyperlink his name... How sad...no worries... he'll teach me my blogging Sifuuuuuu
Have been busy for the whole of last week.
Monday:- Had to arrange with the Vendor (@ the seller of the house) for him to cut off his water & electricity bills and for me to "turn it " back on the same day
Tuesday:- Had to get the keys to the house from the Vendor as he Still had plenty of ~~Shit~~ Crap to clear
Wed & Thus :- Clear house clear house
Friday:- Had to collect paint as Dad had contacts to cheaper paints... And of course Celebrating a meal with our dear Citrus Friend.
So it has been a busy week...

And so how do we start a house? Eh don't make this as a "textbook" to kasi bina your house ya just what I did right/wrong that will help in the future

Here's a picture of the original copy of my tenaga/water bills notice my stupid adobe phpsh work on the picture Lousy man

Things to bring:

1.your ic

2.his/her ic (the vendor)

3.a copy of the S &P of the house

4.RM 10 Hasil Stem for electricity bills

5.Money and I mean Real Cash...Don't know why they don't accept Credit Card.Don't want you to collect points from there?

The Tenaga bill was quite easy.For those in PJ they will have to get to PJ state near the Menara MPPJ or is it called MBPJ??? It's best to get there togather with the vendor as they will cut off the account and then open an account for you.The depost/cagaran for the electricity account is RM 400 (this is std for a double stry house...unless you own a factory or a bungalow then more than that) pluss RM3 for dunno what processing fee and RM10 for Hasil Stem.

I thought I'm very smart I brought a copy of the S&P but I also very not smart as I only brought one copy of it when you actually need 2 copies...One for Power & the other for Water.So I laughed at myself hahaha soo clever I brought the S&P...Little did I know as I got to the water works I realize I just handed my only copy to the Tenaga! Crap

The water works is located near the Asunta Hospital.The deposit is only RM100 (also same story if bigger house then bigger deposit) but get this... The processing fee is RM 30 (tenga only RM3) just for them to go look look see see.Funny right! Stupid!

Then on Wed I went shopping for brooms/mops/ pails/dustpans/ and stuff here and there.It felt quite fun just shopping for these things...Yeah-lah I did swipe card so at the end of the day only Lain Kira.

Just a tip...Get really Hard Brooms if you're gonna scrub the floor.Cos it'll really make your floor Shine !!!

Okay enough crap and nonsense for me. I guess blogging is a way for me to get away from work Stress !

Ah Ha The Original Tapir Picture

2007-08-05T05:16:00.000-07:00

I just realize that this blog is pretty cool.The background colour is green like Jungle and it's sorta a ~~polluted home~~ cozy home to the tapir. See the tapir sleeping soundly.That what I did for the weekend.I also slept slept slept like Mad, just like the Tapir...Embracing my Tribal Animal hahaha...

Realize that time and effort is needed when blogging.Like when you edit the pictures and the thinking about a watermark on your pictures just in case some dude steals your pictures with knowing it and getting RM 50 in The Star newspaper.

I did manage to get a few shots of pictures from the new house.It ain't a pretty sight as the previous owner still had his junk all around the house.Will post those pictures once I feel like it.

Ok-la just a short post-la.Nanti everybody get sick of all my junk then no mood to read. Hope you guys had a good weekend!

What's with Tapir? And why Let it sleep?

2007-08-02T07:55:00.000-07:00

Why "Let the Sleeping Tapir Lie"?
Well because you don't want to step on its tail. How do I know it has a tail? Well look at the next picture wayy down to examine further the diagram of its tail.

Ok-la I don't claim to be an expert on Tapirs or animals but I do have a Diploma in Animal Health and Husbandry a long long time ago.So ok can pass know a bit bit about animals... but not a Tapir.So if you do happen to find this blog and expect alot of Mumbo Jumbo CSI or scientific stuff about Tapir then this blog ain't for your.

In fact I don't know why but I started having this fascination with tapirs ever since I seen one sleeping as I visited Zoo Negara Malaysia on 2nd May 2007.And the thing is the Tapir was having a fun time sleeping there in the dry drain filled with grass.It did not seam to be bordered about all the noise the kids made or people shouting around while snapping photos of the sleeping Tapir.

And I'm one of the funny fella who took a picture of the sleeping Tapir...Not to bad what as compared with other kids who actually spit on the Tapir and still the Tapir was soundly asleeppppp...

I guess we all can learn a thing or two from the Tapir.When you are sleeping soundly...Just go to sleep.Don't care about all the worries/cares/troubles of the world behind you...Forget about your evil boss who buggs you all the time.Just Sleep sleep sleep...

Oh yeah just to prove Tapirs do have a tail. Ah-haa a Tiny Tail there at the corner..

Ok back to the topic.Why Tapir? Well to be exact a Malaysian Tapir because I wanted to find some very distinct Animal that represents Malaysia.To show that I'm a patriot ?Maybe it's because deep down inside I'm a true Black and White Malaysian Tapir born and breed here in Malaysia.So there you have it. The reason behind Tapir.And Nowss You Knowss.

The other reason I'm starting up this blog is to place highlights on the various steps I'm taking to start up my new home.So that next time when I grow old and become an Old Malaysian Tapir I'll clap my hands happily and being Thankful for all that I have.And of course to share it with everybody around.So watch out...I'll place my very own pictures next time round.I also need much help to continue this blog cos I have to admit-la I'm a Newbie at it.See ya soon
