Tiling

Thanks to that stupid contractor, we were asked to look for the tiling worker by ourself. Through up and down, in and out, we found this chinese man from my brother's friend. And the best is, this guy is the brother of the property agent who sold us the house. And this agent is my brother's ex-colleague. What a small world.

Again, at first, everything is great. Fast, efficient and nice work. While we still think we found somebody who is finally good at his work, who knows he failed us during the last piece of work - tiling on the car pouch. The story begins when I trusted him to give me the amount of tiles required to fill the car pouch, and he gave me the number which is quite high. I re-clarified the moment I made order, and he confirmed. Well, I had a slight of doubt but still, I trust his advice at that moment cause he is the pro in this right?

Somehow, it turned out that he had the wrong calculation and causes me bought extra few boxes of tiles. Which resulted me unable to return the goods and forfeit the money. I asked for his help to take over stock as he is working in this field, but somehow he refuses and accuses that I should responsible to my own procurement - because I was the one who bought it. I was like, WTF?? It was his calculation and it turned out my fault? Come on people, I dont know, please help me to decide who's fault is this?

I will release all the contractor and tiling company info once the entire process is over. Well, basically I am still putting hope they will do good, or else, sorry folks. See you in court.

Lousy Contractor

So far from what I observe, 80% out of 100 home owner who went through the renovation process will definitely complain about the contractor. I dont know about yours, perhaps you are just one of the very lucky ones, but for my case, I would say I am the most shitty one.

This contractor started with very polite and good attitude. Very logical and provide us good advices with what can be done, and not. Reno started smoothly with few workers, walls were demolished, parquets were soaked up, cabinets were down and all of these were done in a week.

Somehow, as we all know, it always require more effort to make things up instead of down. And the best is, the contractor cuts down the workers from 4 to 2, and subsequently down with 1. Furthermore this pity indon worker is expected to complete all the wall plastering, roof repair, toilet building, tiling, installation of toiletries etc. Come on, this is so effing ridiculous, and the whole damn reno been drag for over 4 months. I think I can build a mansion! Please give me some advice where can I make a complain?

Stock Up

Christmas is around the corner, new year is few days ahead, and CNY is coming soon in a unimaginably short duration. It is time again to stock up something shinny to blink the festive!

Well, what I mean blink here is not merely the shinny decoration to spice up your house, nor the jewelry that always makes people look gorgeous. Those things are visible, what I mean is something more worthy - buy gold bullion! Come to think of it, what else in this world can bring you more fortune in order to overcome all these festivals with shinny decoration, jewelries, makeups etc? Without money and good return, there will be no festive.

So what are you waiting for? Stock up now for the last bucket of gold!

BGT Down

It seems this is not the first time BGT died on me, but still, I couldnt recall exactly if it happened before. My memory is getting weaker and everything seems so vague like it never happened before, or if it does, I perceived it was happened in my dream.

This blurring effect of me started since about 4 months ago, i reckon my brain is just like the HDD. It couldnt store excessive information or otherwise the virtual memory will unable to share the processing power, which will result in slow performance or some times memory lost.

As far as I could remember, this symptom begins when reno started. And according to my past history, I tend to forget (or lock) things somewhere in my brain. For example, till now I still couldnt recall my primary 2 to 4 childhood, and form 4 and 5. I couldnt recall who was in my class etc. It seems part of them was erased by some thing. I wonder if that was caused by the overloaded, or some thing else...

Wedding Dinners

With my age, and my years of working experience in various MNC companies, it is very common for people like me who has attended countless wedding dinner. Some times, even to the point I rejected the invitation and hid myself for a year. Mainly is of course, save cost and also, no point and dead bored.

Seriously, I am getting vague on the definition and/or the meaning of having wedding dinner. For me, right now, it is a show for the newly wed couple who is trying to tell the world that they are binded to each other. Some may just follow the tradition with no clues of wth of it, some may just want to get ang pao, some truly wanna share their happiness, but again, I interpret it as a political dinner.

This is especially true if you are attending a colleague's wedding dinner. You can roughly understand how he/she perceived you by the table arrangement. I used to follow the arrangement blindly but with all the dinner experience I have, sorry couple, I am a bad participant. Wow, suddenly I feel like having my own wedding dinner now.. haha..

Money and Me

I feel depressed. I am very down. Apart from the fact that I have spent a lot of money in the recent renovation works (which I admit that it contributes a lot to this depression), the other major part of the problem is the havocs during the process. This includes the constant conflicts we have with different main contributors, where I try too hard to please every one until I sucked up too much til the point of explosion. And of course the collision of the vendors who kept turning from good to evil, which resulted it makes me living in hell dealing with this uneducated bastards.

But in my opinion, all of this can be solved (or even will not happen) if money is not an issue here. I wonder how others manage to keep pumping the money into renovation like they have never ending supply well, but for me, I am close to drain now - both financially, emotionally, and physically.

I guess at this stage, only sparing my last saving to buy gold bullion can solve my misery. I wish..

Sayorana Shinto-kun

Today just got to know from my sis that an ex-schoolmate of my nephew has gone tragically, on his own will. He is only 16 this year, a bright and young mix-parentage boy who I remembered the first day I met him due to his lineage japanese father's end.

I didn't know him well but I do heartache for the losses. Afterall, he was once (or twice) stay over night in our place partying with my nephew and he was a quiet boy where no one could ever imagine he would committed...

I got into his friend's blog while trying to look more info about his story. Somehow, it makes me even worrying with this living friend after reading his story. I do wish that I could contribute some help to make him back on track. One loss is enough, please, not another. This is not a stupid call center incident trend that show the performance, it is human life we talking about...

"FACE"book

Sometimes i feel facebook really 害人不浅. Well, i dont blame the tool because it is perfectly design for what it suppose to, which is, it suppose to be a nice social network for friends and family to keep contact, maintain relationship and share happiness but to certain extend, especially the long haul die hard users, they tend to over-relying the tool. It is like a part of their life and they cant leave the portal for more than 5 hours, some even lesser.

Perhaps Im just being old school but please, this is getting ridiculous and affecting the people's life. I think the problem lies with the privacy handling of each individual. I.e. personal attack and comment in the public, sharing family pictures that annoy the others, too many and detail info being share over the portal which makes ones personal life totally expose.

The portal is not only affect the registered users, but also affecting the unregistered individual through the sharing of pictures etc. I hope the trend will get better soon, as of now so far, my nephew already duel into many battles with his friends and mom. Today it happens to be my cousin. When will it stop?

2010 Birthday Gift

It is so pitiful that I have to buy my own birthday present every year. Therefore, to compensate my emptiness and regrets, I will not be stingy in spending this once a year annual gift to myself. Last 2 years ago, it was Canon DSLR 400D, an amazingly and stunning memory capturing device that broaden my view. Of course, the price wont come cheap, even if it is a second handed unit.

Last year, it was Panasonic Lumix GF1. A most latest micro four third genius designed camera. Although I sold (or trade??) it with the 400d, I still shed a few pounds because wanting to own it first hand. Then this year, as I mentioned, I want no more iPhone4 but a new rising phone - Windows Phone 7. The operator just launches the rate few hours ago and again, a bomb. But who care? As long as I am happy.

Some how, I think next year I will upgrade my birthday gift from gadget to something more materialistic - buy gold bullion! At least it doesn't suck my money but help me to increase them instead!

HP7

Nop it is not a phone, not a software, not hardware either. It's Harry Potter 7.

Many not aware that I am indeed a big fan of harry potter. No I didnt read the book but I was amaze by the fake magical thoughts, idea, and the fake world that created by the CG. Basically the story is plain, just about the school life of a kid. But he is aint no ordinary school kid, he admitted to the magical hogwart school of wizardry which make the story so damn unique.

For a lazy people like me, I am obviously dreamed about having magic (not those stupid tricks from david blaine or muggles) to do my work. This movie just like making my fantasy came real, except the dark lord part. Dont get me wrong, I like him and his minions though. They reflected the true and crucial world, but I dont like it cause they bring me back to the reality which the world is indeed very mean and brutal.

Back to the story, I believe many has lost interest because of the story is confusing in the later part. Believe me I am too but I found out when I watch it again, I mean all of it at once, the missing links are all bridge up. You may wanna try the same too and perhaps you will be excited as me waiting the HP7 now!

Mind my mine

I think I need a holiday. Well I am having the public holiday and my job also gives me more than enough flexibility to do my own works but, I need a holiday that can rest my mind and soothe my tense.

Last time, I can calm myself down by sleeping. Recently, regardless of how long I slept, I just cant recover the tiredness. I dont know why I kept myself staying in this intense mode. I tried relaxing it by watching movie, picked up the harry potter series, sing song, tenji japanese buffet etc. But the tense just wont go away.

Sigh I guess the more relax I put myself into, the more pressure I will become - because that all cost like hell to me now. Furthermore, my friend is going Brazil and asking if I want to tag along for the free stay. Trust me, I am dying to want it but my conscious is telling me NO!! The airfare alone already cost few thousands, not to mentioned the 35-40 hours flight in eco class, and the spending in Brazil.

Sigh, I guess I just gotta let it go and pray hard that he is getting another long haul trips when I can afford it...

Justice!

This advertisement post just came handy to me. It is about the depuy hip recall attorney that happened to the recent Johnson & Johnson hip replacement systems case. Well although I am not one of the victims from the system but I do have a similar case that due to the personal injury that causes by the product.

In my case I was injured by the Dell computer. Basically the computer was purchased direct from Dell, no parts were changed/upgraded, and the new replacement part also shipped from Dell. Somehow, the power supply unit exploded with fire sparked out from the the socket when I plugged in the the cable and switched on the power.

I didn't get much injury from that incident but the case cause enough emotional damage to me. And trust me, I lost my confidence to all dell products because of it, and I want my compensation! I have reported this case to Dell but I am not satisfy with the way they handle my complain. Therefore I think this is just the nice opportunity for me to get the right attorney to fight for me as a consumer!

Some how, I have made the appointment with the insurance representative from Dell. I hope everything will go smooth or else, I have no choice but to file a lawsuit on this.

Lost in Time

Ever since I started renovating the house my mind is like falling into pieces - a mess. I cant remember the tasks properly. My schedule runs up and down where I keep confuse what to do on which days. Best is I even lost track of the date, like I am living in the time tunnel that has no definition of time.

For example, CP told me on 2nd Nov that the uniqlo opening event is on the 4 Nov, but I mixed up and sms her on the 3rd. Then, YYF told me BGT is reserved, but I mixed up that I have completed it and so I missed it a day later. It is rather strange as I do remember all the events and tasks, but it just my mind mixes up the schedule like the clock low on battery and confused in time...

I don't know if this is due to the reno, or it is myself who is thinking too much lately. Gotta fix this deviation before it is too late, or I think I will be drifted away from reality...

Dell Vostro 230s

I must admit, I was a little too drama with the Dell customer contact center. Follow up with the previous episodes, I called them up again since I did not receive any follw up call from them. This time, I requested to change from desktop to laptop.

Well you cant blame me though. After the blow up case, you cant expect me to use the same model again waiting and expect it not to explode again? So I file in my request and again, I was rejected because of their replacement policy doesnt allow that. I must say, what a stupid system and policy they have there. Hence I suggested if replacement can't fix my request, then think of another policy that can help me!

The supervisor is obviously powerless and not authorize to make any decision. So I suggested to have a call with the authorized one - in this case, the Complain Manager. Worse, a lady. Well initially I was very kind because I wanna be gentleman. But it seems my boiling point is quite low, or it is rather she is unreasonable. So I have no choice but to fire her up. To cut the crap, I made this statement:

"If you balance the policy and customer satisfaction, I think you complain department failed"

I think for a moment the Complain Manager wanna cry. Lucky the supervisor was in the conference, and save her from me. How? Because he agreed on my statement. HAHA! Again, they left me no choice, so finally I picked the replacement option, and the brand new CPU delivered to my doorstep few days later. All FREE of charge. But I have to admit, I am not satisfy! If I have a chance to speak to the Complain Department head, I guess I would have get something better!

Silver Bullion

We have been talking about gold bar, gold coin gold ingots and gold bullion for months and yes I know, although I must admit that the returns of revenue are very high compare with other investment, but the price of invest is sometimes equivalent high as well. (At least it is a crucial fact for a poor man like me, the price is consider sky high and unbearable..)

Well, if you think that these investments are only meant for the rich and wealthy man. Well again, you are wrong. Initially I thought of that as well, but my perception changes when I found out there are also silver bullion on top of just gold. It makes me realize that we can indeed invest with even lower price, and a perhaps faster growing revenue that will beat gold at any time!

With the lower saving interest rate now offer by the finance institute or bank, it is definitely a wise move to transfer your money to somewhere more rewarding!

IP4?

No more. I lost the interest of owning one after seeing so many people holding it when Maxis and Digi launched it. Although I must admit the ios 4 is brilliant masterpiece of software on top of the fact that it costs like hell. BUT - it has no value to me anymore. Why? Ah sor owns it and talk in pasar, grandpa owns it to text their grandson, kids owns it to show off, 1.5 years old baby owns it as a toy, sooner or later maybe pets also own one!! Gosh that's so cheap...

I still remember when I first get my iphone 2g, nobody in Malaysia knows it. Most thought I am just using a normal dumb touch phone. Well I seriously enjoy that moment. It is like a sole proprietary owner for apple iphone. And the best is, after 3 years I owned the device (where 3gs just launched), my friend was looking at me amazingly and says - wow you are an iphone user.

I was like - "What the heck??" I have been using that for 3 years and now only they realize it?? While I feel thats a joke but I am also proud of it, cause I am the very few who knows that will be the coolest gadget later. For now, I just found another one, let's see if my premonition is true or not. I guess the answer is to be found out a year or 2 later...

Reno status - 1.5 month

It's been 1.5 months since the reno started. Till date, the progress for me is consider freaking slow. Partially, I put the blame on the god damn contractor that made me freaking furious about him.

While I understand money is important to everyone of us but he is simply a jerk that only shows up when the payment is ready. The rest of it, he just left the work to the 3 pity indon worker to finish the job. Luckily they are by far still good and maintain the quality work. Just that sometimes they show black face. Well that's fine with me as long as the work is good and most importantly, durable.

Again, after 1.5 months, the tile is still not up, the ceiling still open, the wall still not cement, and the wall of the gate still left vacant. Worse still, Friday was deepavali and so they rest for 3 days. Gosh how long more I still gotta wait for that? It is kinda frustrating now...

Twinkle Twinkle Little Gold

"Twinkle twinkle little coin, how I wonder what you are. Up above the price so high, like a diamond price sky high..."

Oh yeah, that's the song we always rhyme when we were young. It is like a must-know song where every single child has to learn. The rhythm basically imprinted into our brain. Just that however, as we are getting older the lyrics is turning from nursery to a more material-like reality.

Well, what can we do? Life is like this. When we were young, we learn, we dream, and we are perceived by adult that we are living in a world that coated with sugar. Even when we first step into the working field, we fear no vicious senior that trying to hack us down. And we can loose the bet and start all over again.

Well, as time flies, we started to aware how crucial the life is to us. And we realize how important the money is to us. There we start hiding our weaknesses. Hoping bosses didnt find out our inability and get replace by cheaper fresh grads. Pathetic isn't it? So if you are reading my post and feel the same way, make sure you invest to gold coin before it is too late!

Wake me up when November ends

It's November again. Not particular special for anyone but I am entering my 32 years of being a human being soon.

32 years, many already a father or mother of few (or grandparent if lucky enough), very few already a millionaire, many has laid their foot print in several continents, few experience life and death, some may have gone six feet under.

Me? My career stuck in nowhere unable to move, and worse is later I aint even a thousand-aire, perhaps only survive with few hundreds a month, and I am still single and many of the time not available. (Not sure why but always got myself occupied or into different errands). And the most is, I am basically nothing.

Sigh, 32 years, but feel like an old man having midlife crisis now. Gosh I wonder if I will die early too if I continue my life this way? haha...

12 hours

Next year must be a very good year in getting married. Why? Because just within 12 hours, I received 2 red bombs. 1 expected, another very unexpected. I foresee there are more to come. Well basically I have attended a lot, and still attending, and going to attend a lot again, but somehow I think by end of next year, the volume will start decreasing.

Why again? Simple, cause my age is reaching the mid age soon. So it is not surprise that all my friends will finished this 'the most important' event in their life around this 2 years. Especially for women, if they same age with me, definitely going to pass (or passed) the most nourish period. Somemore, it is not good giving birth at this age.

For guy, well, lagi simple. Family pressures, stability, life, etc. Not surprise that they will get somebody to walk together until the end of life. Anyhow, expected or unexpected, still congrats to the new couples as after all, it is a good news!

Termites!

Bad news. The indon worker found termites parading the house when they remove the tiles from the wall. We are so panic as you know, termites are well known in destroying the house by chewing woods and eventually make the whole support hollow.

In view with that I have contacted few mainstream pest control company but the cost is sky high. Well, I dont mind paying the bill they have the quality and standard like Houston Pest Control. But looking at my budget now, I dont think I can afford the price.

In the contrary, neighbor keeps telling me that their roof top basically are gone within 10 years of residence there. This is troubling, as much as I want to save that cost for pest control, I think I still have no choice but to spend it. Please, any recommendation? My requirement is very simple, I just want the pest control to kill the termites, prevent general insects like ants, rats , lizard and the most important one - cockroaches!!

Best still, must warranty for 8-10 years. Please let me know if you know any provider with this kinda services??

Sick again

Human gets sick, recovered, active, tired, get sick again and continue. That's usual but what is unusual for me is, the cycle happens too fast. I fall in sick again - same symptoms (cough, sore throat, fever, and perhaps flu later) in less than 3 months. The last ill happened since 3 months ago and continued for 2 months, and I can only active for less than 1 month now it hits me again.

What happened?? It was like neverending and this is very first time I encountered such symptoms. Colleague suggested me for a detail screening but I still couldnt think of a reason why. There must be a root cause for this but I still dont know why.. Perhaps age is catching up? Or environment is getting worse? Or feng shui not good? Or bad luck? Or too stress??

Anyhow, time to really take a rest. As since the reno begins, I never really did...

Dell Vostro incident, continued...

After few days not hearing from Dell, I decided to give them a call asking what is going on. Partially it was because my sis kept pressuring me cause they dont have a PC at home and it is really inconvenient for the kids. You know, nowadays school work is all about typing and printing, no more handwriting.

Another agent picked up, Chinese guy. I just simply illustrate my situation and he captured my point immediately, like he already aware the case. Quickly he requested to put me on hold and check with the first Malay lady I spoke to. Efficiently, he reverted to me and informed that the case was escalated to the management. However, the outcome from the management is that they can only repair the set, and handover the case for their insurance company for the injury compensation.

Unlucky him, I blown up on this agent and requested to speak with their so call management who keeps hiding cowardly from this incident. Without neglect, he promised to own the case and get the supervisor to call me back. Which he did, as I received the supervisor's call in about half or one hour later.

The decision they have for me is another disappointment. the supervisor offered me 3 options -

First: They repair the set for free.
Second: They replace a brand new model with same value as the blown up set.
Third: They refund the PSU money to me.

If you are a human with logical thinking, which one will you pick? I pick no one, but insisted to refund for full set because at that time, I totally don't wanna see, don't wanna hear DELL! Why on earth I want your free thing when I can use the refunded money to get the other better brand I want? Obviously they didnt hear me and didnt get my point. All that supervisor can do is repeating the options, and tell me that's what DELL can do best.

I request for escalation, and you know what, the response from the supervisor was: that's the decision after the escalation to the management, complain department and their legal department. I must say, what an eff up decision! STUPID DUMB ARSE DELL MANAGEMENT!

Left me now choice, I bombarded the supervisor (no foul language of course) and he was speechless, and I returned conscious knowing he wasnt talking, henceforth cooled down and picked option 2. Come on, any human who can think will do the same. But I suggested instead of replace, I request cash voucher with the same value instead, and not expired in a week or month so I can use it later. Unfortunately, they can't do it again. What a VERY "established" company. Even apple can do that, but dell couldnt, no wonder they can't beat apple...

So last resort, I picked option 2, and told them I willing to invest more on better spec. Because from this incident, I learned that low cost = low quality. Lucky they are ok, partially I think they agree on my equation too. Better still, they still can earn my money (my sis). Likewise, no lost from our end too since I wanted to change that pc for better spec for long, and now they are giving for free, and I just pay for upgrade... Maybe I should sell the new system and get a macbook air 11" so I dont have to bear with DELL again...

Make Up Make up

Recently there are plenty of videos circulating in the Facebook teaching people to DIY. The topics are quite wide, basically covers everything you can imagine of, for example setup your own computer, troubleshoot your windows, cracking your iphone, but the most impressive one for me is the video that teaches make up.

It is so amazing to see the before and after, and always shocking to see how wonderful the cosmetic can help the hopeless women (or men). No wonder the proverb is so true - there are no ugly women, only the lazy one.

However, make up is not something easy to pick up if you know zero like me. But dont be upset, cause we are lucky enough to have Regency Beauty Institute. The campus of cosmetology school in Phoenix has many success story in developing the student from zero to expert. Consult them today and be the next pretty and wise women.

Dell Vostro incident

Trust me, I love dell, just I like Air Asia - because it is cheap and friendly. I have dell as my laptop, dell as my sister laptop, dell as my pc, and dell for my sis pc. Basically like a dell house.

Until recently, my sis's dell pc exploded on me.

The story went back to few weeks ago, her couldnt turn on the pc and at her usual, she asked me to fix it. So I called up dell, give them the service tag id, and they identified me, and the model im using - Vostro 200, and quote me the Power Supply Unit (PSU in short) direct with DELL. Efficient I must said.

Most impressing, the part delivered in shorter amount of time I could expect. Happily remove the cover the first thing I got home, and assemble/replace the faulty part, plug in and BAM! Sparks (Or fire?? I couldnt remember as it is so bright!) flare out from the PSU where the cable is connected. I shouted and backed off, and my mom screamed (as the explosion was so loud) but wisely reminded me to turn on the switch. We lucky that nobody got injured, and nothing aside was burned.

But the story didnt ends here. It is disappointing when I call Dell to lodge the complain and request for judgement. First time, the Malay lady answered and collected some info like, did I switch to other voltage and is anyone there to witness the situation. Craps - the PSU they shipped has no switch, clearly their product info is limited. Secondly about the second question, well, the first impression I have is they want to know if I am telling lies. And the question was asked after she putted me on hold and checked with her management.

After the basic info check, she politely responded that Dell will do the refund for PSU, and reverted me with a reference number, and informed that she will send me an email as record while checking with her management to perform the investigation. As a consumer, I think this arrangement is satisfactory.

Somehow on the second day, the same Malay lady called back. This time, she is prepared, as if someone is listening and guiding from beside. She politely asked the same questions again, and request my confirmation. Again, as if she would want to record down my response. Then, she informed that Dell will send an engineer over and replace the part. Of course, as a human, being asked the same question twice, with the same person, I feel uneasy and so question her back. Where is the email she promised to send? Most importantly, where is the refund? That moment, I lost trust to Dell, and not confidence to their product. So I told the lady, I will not use the set anymore even though they repair it. I want them to compensate my lost. In view with my decision, the Malay lady request to collect the pc instead of fixing it, for investigation purpose. Of course I refuse, cause that I will loose all the evidence with no defense point.

Day 3. As the previous conversation is not a happy ending, Dell sent another agent to handle my case (I guess..). This round it's a Chinese lady. Same story, they insist to have engineer onsite to collect the machine for investigation. I told them they can investigate, but no collect. I was already very disappointed with their action, a glimpse of mind came through - why they kept trying to collect the part back?

Arranged in 3 days later after the call, the engineer finally came to my house with a brand new PSU unit and a motherboard. My face turned red, or even black. I asked the engineer, what are you going to do on the pc? He told me Dell instructed him to fix and replace the faulty part. OMG what is going on here? Am I not clear enough over the phone (or they are too persistent trying to cover this up so I could keep quiet?) I decided to call Dell, and the engineer is kind enough and helped me to do so, using my house phone. After a few briefing session, the engineer passed the phone to me and I talk to this lady, very well trained in handling difficult customer, and good in manners too. She helped me to follow up the case, and coordinated with the engineer to verify the part number, model, brand. Then told me that she will get the previous agent - Malay lady to process my request on compensation.

The engineer left without doing any real work, pity him wasted time for a visit and story temporary ends here. But from the above, I captured few points. Dell is not stupid, why on earth they keep requesting the replacement when I keep telling them I don't want to, and I wont use it anymore even they fix it - as I am not sure when it will blow up on me again. Secondly, why the Malay lady promised to refund and email me the case, but end up turning the promise, and acted as if she is under control?

Anyhow, as for my conclusion, I will not buy Dell anymore. For I who are damn afraid with their great quality product and professional service!

< 3 Hours

Following my earlier post about sleeping 3.5 hours, I have just beaten my own record again. I slept < 3hours last Sunday and actively run up and down for the reno stuff. At least the effort paid off and we are very productive in finalizing tiles and toiletries. Now the things left are cabinet, lighting, cabling, piping, and some accessories.

This reno thing is really draining me and luckily, my current role enable me flexibility to run around and arrange thing remotely. On top of that, there are many things on hands like tour work, computer work, blogging for money, and of course, sleeping also. I seriously hope there will be no extra thing coming in as i really no hands to handle them now.

I think no matter how good the time management is also can be exhausted.

Over Debts!

My credit card bill is achieving the highest state in my 10 years life on debt. It is breaking 5 figure soon solely on my personal expense for this month. While it is heart aching but let's face the fact, as it is still mid of the month, the debt will continue rising up til end of the month!

I think I will continue to hold this never ending debt til the day I am 6 ft under and still repaying them, if I dont do something now. Of course, knowing this, I have started a side business as TW tour agent and organize the tour. But unfortunately that didnt bring me much fortune as yet, or to be exact, barely survive. But if I could use that money I earn from there and multiply it, that will be totally different story.

Question now is, what to buy or invest? I guess the only answer now is non other than investing in gold bullion!

Atheros PCI Wifi Card Driver

It's the pain in the ass every time I wanna install this driver in xp. It just couldnt activate unless the exact right steps and right driver. I forgot how did I manage to install it the last time but this round, I crawl every area also cant find the exact match.

Well I manage to identify the name, but just couldnt find the model. Tried generic driver but fail. But when I put in the vista or 7, it works. Even in hackintosh, it works with the previous copy of kext file. Anyhow I am totally lost now and the best is when I wanna restore 7, it failed on me. God damn it, it seems like bad luck has it ways to make you feel upset when it wants you to... Sigh what happen?

2011 Budget Report

Came across the broadcast when I was commuting home from workplace. It makes me almost vomit blood and furiously bang all the machan if I didnt switch to other channel to smoothen my anger. Basically this whole report is stupid and creating opportunity for them to suck our blood sweat money.

All the items cost million, I was like what the eff you guys doing with our money? Why dont you just transfer it into their account since online banking is so freaking easy nowadays? It just make no effing different anyway. Really upsetting when this broadcast was out, and in fact I think all of us felt the same.

I dont know why am I still staying here. Friends are moving out, and some just barely survive yet still no return due to this lovely arrangement. I think one day they just gonna infest and die in one land since they love themselves so effing much. Somemore day2 also mention wanna preserve their stupid heritage, whatabout us then? Our is not heritage? Eff them all.

My Current Finance Report

Recently I really spend a lot. On top of the usual commitments and the monthly installment, I am forking out money for the renovation. That's not a big problem, cause what worries me the most are the subsequent things that come along with the reno like: Material, electrical appliances, rebuild cabling, piping, pest control etc etc which going to cost a huge chunk of money.

Moreover, I need to spend on the unnecessary yet very costly equipment like iphone 4, glasses, and bags etc. Which basically means my income simply cant cover all these spending. Although I have some casual investment fund on hands but again, the debt hole is just too huge to fill. Thus, I guess it is time to buy gold coins instead of spending on the materialistic world. At least this could bring me fortune which I could use it for more meaningful matters. I hope. haha..

Freaking Tired

Yes I had to put that title. I had red bull twice and chicken essence once in 3 weeks. So literally I am depending on supplementary every week now, in fact for the pass 30 years it never happened before.

I felt like going back to 4-5 years ago working with that bi-ache but this round, I am more mature in handling the matters and of course, they are more difficult to dealt with. Anyhow, it is not a simple task and the plan will determine the success for next 20 or 50 years. (hopefully... not).

Now although the process is very clear but the progress of getting it done is tedious and the best is, many different stupid ideas came in disrupting the plan and most importantly, more explanation and coordination. Cant I just do whatevereffing thing i wanted? Oh eff, I am effing tired..

Shitty Collaboration

It is seriously upsetting working with them. Perhaps other will have the same problem when they work together. Or maybe, human just couldnt work with each other for too long or else everything will simply turn from sweetness to bitterness.

Well in fact the root cause was due to a very tiny matter but since everybody is so concern on this, thus the decision making always favorable to oneself instead of another. I guess this is just the common point where people start having issue, but depends on the other ends and see how they react towards the situation. In out case, it is obviously the worse and I always stuck in the middle trying to grease each other. Well no more, I give up for this round. Instead, I am happier if I can do all the thing by myself instead of relying on them.

And I suppose I have decided this earlier until that day...

Trsuted Fund

Sigh, I guess I am just not the type of person who is fortunate enough in making money through investment. Recently the trusted fund I have invested few years ago just 'achieve' a new low again. It was once rising high at the beginning but still the interest just enough to cover the very expensive processing fees. Therefore (and maybe) due to my greediness, I have waited slightly longer and **bang**! I hit the wall and the market just like riding the roller coaster, except it keeps falling and never rise anymore.

I thought perhaps it is just my problem but somehow and strange enough as it seems like most of my other friends also not making money from the trust fund. But on another hand, it seems like investing in gold coins seems to having great return. Compare with the trusted fund, the plus point of investing in gold coins is much stable and safe! I guess this is just the exact thing I needed now. Perhaps I should sell the share in trusted fund and pour all into this!!

3.5 Hours

What can you do in 3.5 hours? Some can fly to another destination with totally different faces and places. Some can finish the work that been stuck in few weeks. Some can deliver a baby, or any other possible things. But what about sleep? I know some people they can survive with < 4 hours sleep daily. But seriously, I can't.

I was once told I am like the battery, where I need to recharge for 12 hours in order to stay awake for another 12 hours. And believe me, sleeping for 12 hours is not an unusual case for me. Basically it happens every week when I dont have to work. Of course, I hope this habit will stay continue until I old, as I know many couldnt sleep well when age is catching up!

Any how, back into the story, I actually just slept for 3.5 hours 2 days ago, and subsequently stay awake for 14 hours. It is such a great achievement for me and I feel so long for the whole day. Best of all, my mind was like swinging but surprisingly I achieved many productive tasks. I guess i am very good in time management. Hahaa..

Yokoso Japan

Finally I am realizing my dream, the 日游记. Yeah it happened on 23/Sept 11am, where AA finally first launched their route to my dream destination - NIHON. I wouldnt say I put many efforts but at least it is the common topic CP and I always chat about, and we did some planning few days in advance before we decided to swipe the card online.

As a result, I am going for 8days due to the unavailability of the going date. So I extend one more day instead of shorten it. Anyhow I dont think it would be enough for me as initially I plan to visit 1 month but consider my financial ability, 8 days is very luxury for me already.

Well, since the ticket is secured, all I need to focus now is how to make more money to spend in the trip!!!

Baja actually situated at California peninsula in northwestern Mexico. The peninsula is connected to the mainland of Mexico on the east by a small northern band of land crossing the Colorado River in the Mexican state of Sonora.

New Biz Formation

This new business is getting very excited. I have all the thoughts in mind to make it big. I.e. end to end service. But there are many thing unclear but I bet there must be a way to get over the doubts so I can earn more. For instance the air ticket, this customer is requesting to book on behalf and I have checked the price on AA, it is selling above 900. But I am very sure the price will be lower if I purchase during the promo but I afraid by then I cant even get the ticket. Then I will kena lawsuit just because of this.

Again, I seriously think other than waiting for promo to get this done, I think there must be a way to sort the ticket problem out. Just the matter of resource, research and hard work!

Saturday Night

Today is Saturday. Normally I will not be at home and at least get myself some entertainment to keep me stay in the life I would like to have. Somehow I am ended up here writing blog, although it is a good thing but I guess I should have done this later perhaps after a nice old blockbuster at home, or a movie at cinema, or maybe just a yum cha session that always waste my time.

Somehow tonight, I think I am more productive than ever. On top of just finished the BGTs, I also going to run the errand for my newly start side business - TW TRAVEL AGENT. Yes, thanks to the support for my friends, I got 2 businesses in a week and it is damn good thing to start my confidence with.

Although there are some conflicts with the vendor but it doesn't stop me from killing all those obstacles in front. Let's pray for the best for me!

Updown gold

The stock I have on hand is very unstable. Sometimes it performed pretty well and sent me to sky high, but a minute later it dropped down lower than hell and make my life miserable. My mood been been up and down just like the stock and I dont think my health can take the risk aint more.

Giving that the current personal financial crisis, I guess it is imperative for me to save a few buck before I declare myself for bankruptcy. But again, as an investor like me, the few buck I safe will definite meant for something, or nothing : ) But this time I guess it is safer to spend it on something reliable and stable - ie. gold coin.

From the trend and even from the history, buying gold has been recognized for centuries as one of the best ways to preserve one’s wealth and purchasing power. So why not give it a try right?

Reno Started!

Yeah it started since last Tuesday. We are all very excited and the progress are surprising faster than we thought. Just within the first day itself, the upstair front and back are totally demolished. In fact the whole process only taken about few hours.

On the second day, the floor is soaked and more walls down. Third day, the parkay is soaked and prepare to be removed. While we are overwhelmed by the super efficiency of the workers, we also caught in the middle cause the plan is not fix.

Several discussion and plans been draw and made to make sure our understanding is insynch. I have been busy working few nights to sketch the fictitious view that base on my imagination and some copies from design magazines. And the best is there will be more to come later. Now you know why the acne is back, and the worse is my hair is lesser each day. KNS!

JPJPJP!

Friends who know me are definitely aware that I am a die hard fans for Japan. Sadly, I never been there. It is like a holy place and a place that I MUST visit at least once in a life time. Perhaps I might have put my expectation too high but some how I know I will definitely enjoy myself if I am there.

Thus I dont want to waste my first time landing on that country without giving a proper preparation. And I also want to give my first time visit for a longer period, and that is not happening because of financial problem. However, I hope with the help of AA, I will be there very soon.

Now all I need is to set my mind right and be prepared be the first batch of buyer!

2nd Wave of Outbreak

My acne problem seems can't wait to give me the second wave of outbreak. Recently I see the big type of pimples are on their way invading my face.

If I recall correctly, the first wave started since 5 years ago. It just came out of nowhere, and it struck my face like the parasites and continue to infest for close to 2 years. That was like the darkest age for my skin as there are pimples, pus, blood, swollen and scars everywhere.

I really dont wish for that to happen again but unfortunately i knew that is actually having close relation with my stress level. 5 years ago it was the job and the phycho bitch, now it is the house. Just hope it can be suppressed until it is done, then I will be safe!

Dell Inspiron D630

I just hate my company laptop. In fact I loved it 2 years ago when I first got it. It was brand new, fast, big screen and latest model with high speed CPU RAM with everybody jealous of.

Just 2 years later, it is dirty, slower than a 90 years old grandpa, always hang on me, and the worse is, the wifi just simply dead without warning each time i am working or surfing. I notice this problem since a year ago and even lodge a report to technical department, format, and blast every new and latest driver - FAILED. I went to check the problem online, no luck either. It seems like I am the only one who is facing the problem. Why? I guess the problem is me indeed, sorry laptop for putting the blame on you. Shame on me. hehe...

Accutane injury

I like to eat, and almost eat it all except a very few vege ie. beanjavascript:void(0)
Publish Post sprout and a kind of noodle. It not because the food allergy and it will not stop me from taking the food if it does taste good. Some how I am very sensitive to steam boat. In almost every time, I will have the after effect of severe diarrheal after meal. In worse case I will puke and nausea for 3 days or a week.

I have visited few doctors for advices and different doctor gave me different reason. Some told me it was due to the distilled water I drank everyday and causing my body is to sensitive to raw food, some told me it is just the body type. But for me, I think it got something do with the side affect of like the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis.

Perhaps the Accutane Lawsuit can answer my problem??

Cut!

I guess this habit was born with in the bone of chinese when god first made him and her. And the best is, this seed continues to plant in every single one of us regardless of how many times of evolution and revolution.

Perhaps it just hibernated in some of us, but once triggered, the power will blind us easily. Well in my case, I guess I am starting to realize how serious the problem is. Although I dont usually spend a lot in each trip, but the consistency and the addictiveness just keep twisting the mind.

Of course I can control the urge but it just simply struck me every time/whoever invite me. But the aftermath is the feeling that struck me the most cause when conscious, it is always filling with regrets especially when I can spend the money to somewhere more appropriate and decent...

Dont Care..

After a deep consideration and discussion with the siblings, our conclusion is that we decided to go for the reno without further worry about the submission of plan and approval. This is risky because it might turn out that we are paying higher and taking longer duration to complete the grand reno.

However, I dont care anymore. I think this is a game from our society, or to be exact, the game of our gomen trying every possible way to suck every drop from their citizen. But anyhow, according to our calculation, even if we are paying the kopi money every single day, the accumulated total will definitely lesser than the formal fining, the cost of reconstruction to meet the stupid standard, the cost for the whole blood sucking processing fees, and of course, the forever waiting time.

So, after the weighing and scaling, it is obvious that we are no longer effing care about that. Just EFF'EM and take cautious of every step. Wish us luck.

iphone 4, JP or Gold bullion?

My wish list is getting longer now but my income could barely survive from my desires. Not to mention the monthly commitment I already have, now it just getting longer - ie. House loan, which going to take a huge chunk of my monthly salary. Apart from that, the money I have on hand are reserved for the renovation and purchasing all the necessary household equipments to furnish the house. Basically I have nothing left and seriously thirst for more income.

So far as I know the best and quickest investment is gold bullion. But with all the commitments I have mentioned above, plus the stubbornness of trying to get the materialistic item like iphone 4 and the cheap japan air ticket (in return of an expensive trip), I guess I need a personal financial planner indeed...

GG3

While I keep whining how I've got effed up by the hectic tasks that caused by the house, I am also taking time to masak my favorite gossip girl series. The season 3 has been on aired for a while but I only watch it recently, to be exact, few days ago and i am now on say... 15 or 17. Haha... Of course this comes with a price, a nonstop and long hour (>8) and watch til 5 or 6 in the morning, and slept only few hours each day then proceed with the admin tasks. High, I would say. haha..

But no regret. Among all the characters in the cast, I love Chuck and Serena the most. And I hate almost all others except Lily and Blair. Why Chuck and Serena? I guess it is the uncontrolled situation they always got into, and the way on how they solved thing, in a very contrast way - Chuck is the one who always sweep his own ass, but for Serena, she always need helps from others to clean her shits. Its shitty but somehow I think she deserves the help. Well, afterall, how could you resist a almost-close-to-perfect blond and wealthy socialite right? Furuthermore, she is far more better than Paris Hilton. hahaa...

Farn...

Well, you gonna hear me whining nonstop for the house thing. But I just couldnt help it cause it really gives me hell a lot of trouble along the way. I do hope that I can just simply wave the magic wand and everything is in order and I am moved in. But in reality, this is just impossible and it has to go through the harsh and ugly way.

Again, while I am under the pressure of getting the reno started asap, I am also facing obstacles from almost all aspects. First I am forcing the contractors to start without further thinking, I know this will lead to a bigger problem later but I just couldnt wait any longer or otherwise, the real problem is the biggest. Secondly, I have a long shattered glass hell-way waiting for me to settle the damn paper works which somehow involved monies which is eventually also a huge constrain for me.

Apart from that, I also require to pick up the mess where I started, and it is now doubled it back to me, and also busy looking for material and also the constant monitoring. Hell ya, I just hope that tomorrow meeting with boss is just another plain talking with no follow up cause I just couldnt afford any real task in my 9-6pm work now...

Military Degrees

I participated in various camping since I was 15, from the lay back education camp to a harsh "devil" camp. It was all to prepare myself to equip the knowledge to be independent, strong minded and survives under all weathers (all kind of situation). Indirectly, it also helps to prepare someone who is ready to serve their country.

Seriously speaking, in today's world kids are overly protected by parent. Partly because of the twisted society we are living in, and therefore the camps which I happened to participated (or enjoyed) for are no longer available.

Somehow, thanks to the online military degrees, there is still hopes for youngsters who are ready to earn a college degree online while they serving their country, or to advance the military career, or prepare for exit from the military.

DBKL OSC

I thought I have settled every facility bill, which I had but I forgot the cukai tanah and cukai pintu which are equivalent important (or more than) the facilities. It turns out as the pain in the ass as the stupid cukai pintu required damn a lot of time to check/screen and approval. 1 month at least the officer told me.

But that's not all, the application for renovation hurts the most. I just got to know today from the god damn DBKL that for cases like us, we are required to employ the architect to draw the floor plan and submit for the STUPID DBKL OSC fortnightly meeting for the approval. Solely this piece of drawing and submission will easily cost 3 to 5k.

That's not all, cause after the first approval, the plan will undergo 4 god damn departments for screening and background check and that, will take about 1.5 month and not guarantee for approval. The result will be either came back as approved (unlikely) or commented (very likely). Then the resubmission required another 2 weeks (because of that stupid blood sucking meeting) and the whole process will be ended in 3 months if we are lucky enough.

From what I heard, this rule was newly implemented but from the chat i had with one of the architects, it is not something new. Just the same old product covered with another skin. What a stupid joke in our stupid gomen. This clearly a channel for those CB blood sucking pig to earn side income. And the branches just got more and more and eventually delayed till you death if you dont have enough bullets to serve them well. WTF! Malaysia really boleh!

House PM

Getting a new house and the process to get it done until move in stage is just like running a huge project. It requires humongous amount of effort to manage the resources, time and cost. Most importantly is keeping the balance of all these 3 elements in order to optimized each of them.

I thought I can simply leave it for my brother to run the show but somehow since it tagged to my name, it resulted that I need to run those administration work which turns out it plays a very initial and major part of this whole project.

I truly understand the hardest part is coming soon, there are more challenges and questions to be overcome but I hope, and I believe with their help, we can solved it all. Now, time is money and I couldnt risk losing it against the timeline.

Water Tap

Our house is getting renovate very soon. For the last few weeks we have been busy looking for the contractors, comparing the price, materials, design and structures. On top of that I am also busy running for the facilities registration like electricity and water supply. In addition also run around the lawyer and bank trying to settle the remaining bills and debts.

If you notice, all that I mentioned above has financially impacted on me. Each transaction required fees. And I feel like my wallet is a giant tap, and the monies are flowing like the water out nonstop, without replenishment.

I guess while i am still affordable, I should buy gold bars so I can use the dividend I earned to pay for each transaction!

Decent 2

I am not an expert in writing critics or review for songs or movie but I decided to put down few words to this movie because I found it is rather interesting, and partially is becaus i wanna fill up the space before the BGT post. haha...

Last nite I watched Decent 2. The first part was premier on air about 4 to 5 years back and this second part was on show in US about a year or 2 ago. And it only reaches MY recently (Malaysia Boleh?!). Well scrap those, the point is the movie. The story is about 5 ladies enter a new found cave for exploratory but being slaughter by the native - a blind humanlike creature that lived underground that hunt animals for meat and flesh.

Eventually all died with one remain in the second part to search for the survivor, and as expected, all died in the end. The fun of this movie is not about the story but the expected scene that the director prepared to frighten you. It is getting funnier as you can predict it again and again and i guess i am not the one who thought so, otherwise the other audiences in the cinema wont laugh together with me after each scary scene. haha....

Down again

I notice my body immune system is rather weird. I dont think it is related to my personality althought I admit sometimes i acting a bit strange : ) Just like recently, the flu, cough and fever is getting better since last 2 weeks but it turned very badly again in this few days. This is not the first time I encountered this kinda symptoms and I suspect I hit the same decease again twice before the first recovery...

But when I explained this to the doctor, he always give me the strange look like i am kidding. Well, perhaps it is true but my sis just told me, why I always fell sick longer than usual, or others? I am speechless...

My Cousin's New BF

Recently my cousin sister is dating a saloon stylist. He is young, edgy and just launched his own saloon last month in the hottest mall in town. All these while in my thought I see comestology is rather a difficult occupation as it required skills but yet less popularity. However looking at his success in this area, my point of view is begin to shifted.

It is quite true indeed, judging from the fashion trend and the heat created from all the reality shows like American Next Top Model. Stylist is getting popular and a good business. Perhaps i am just old school with the old thinking. But somehow I do encourage youngster to check out Cosmetology School in Austin if they want to pursue the stylist dream, or anything related to the cosmetology.

Headache

There are times in my life where things just spam me all at the same time. This round, my boss is in town. I need to entertain him, feed him, wipe his ass and bring him around like a dickhead. Unfortunately (or fortunate?!!) I just got the key for the house i waited for 8 months. I am damn anxious to start the renovation but it turns out we are right in the ghost month now. What a lovely combination... Best of all, home fair is coming weekend and I was hoping to get some cheap deal from there, but i dont think so now since there is plenty of messy items to consider for the reno.

The worse it, I am down with flu, cough, nose block and i am expecting fever to join the party soon. Then one last thing, the eSaver account is offering 5% interest rate until end Oct. Damn I can easily earn more if the tenant is not ending soon! Kns how i wish all these will turn into positive with just a snap!

Ular King

I am in TPM today because this morning i got appointment with my first contractor to see my house and discuss for renovation. Oh do I mention to you my boss is in town and i still managed to squeeze time for my personal thing without his notice? hahaa...

Well, as i told you, i am in TPM today, while i suppose to be in LYL. This is the good nature about my work nature. My role requires me to go around 3 places, TPM LYL and home. As much as i prefer home but sometimes it is imperative to show face in office, furthermore, free aircon ma.

So for today's ular session, i created a story that i need to go tpm for meeting, and indeed there is none but to render my gracious conscious, i still back there so i wont feel 'that' guilty. haha. Anyhow it was a good move cause I met some key person and managed to finished few important tasks!

Direction?

Recently a colleague of mine which I just knew for less than 3 months is telling me that he would like to leave the company. I asked him for the reason and he told me it is not because of the jobs and money but it is something that he would like to achieve personally but in this role it couldn't satisfy him.

I admire his personality and bravery, and I do hope that I could be like him but the direction I am heading is not facing and fixing more challenges, but it is a path to get more return from the gold investment. Well, I know it is not a dream but firstly, let me join the linked in with United States Gold Bureau so i could get more info.

Boss in Town

This round he is coming here to run hand over, not the giving but the receiving end. His role is expanding and he got more staffs report under him, in MY some more. There is a huge change coming soon, the one who is giving is moving to another role, big chap but seems like not significant anymore.

For my boss, i asked him if this is his promotion, but he said not sure as package remained unchanged. Well, i do believe for now but i also believe he will get a better package later. He is good in talking, typical dao si, I don't like his style but no choice cause he is my boss.

The question i have now is, will he move on completely to his new role? In fact I asked him last night, and I sort of hear he told me yes there is a plan. I wish. haha...

My Business

The first attempt is not as smooth as i thought and i experienced and learned a lot from it because of the sweet and sour. The numeration is inevitably good but the knowledge and lesson that comes with it is priceless.

From there i experience how to pick a good partner, how it feels like for hiring someone to help you, how to ask someone to work and rush deadline for your customer, how it feels like when the customer release the money to your pocket, and out of all the above, the most memorable is the painful experience is to deceived by some stupid vendor.

However, I am all ready for the coming one. The partner is waiting, the event is waiting, the customer is waiting, and everything is ready except I am lazy to prepare the materials...

5% e$aver

Although I am working in a bank but I am not really the pro in the product until recently one of the ex-colleagues that moved to branch banking introduced us the good deal of one product which offers high market return - 5%.

Comparing with other banks that just giving pitiful less than 3% interest, this definitely stands the hell out of them. Well for money thirst monster like me of course I will not let the chance slip from my finger and so I have register myself on it. However, I still hope they will offer gold bullion investment instead as eventually that will be the highest return based on world market rate.

Numeracy

Do you know you can tell ones personality by looking at your birth date? There are tons of classes in the west to teach you that but among the famous, i think it's numeracy.

Basically it sums the date, month and years of birth and make up the total for a number, and arrange it in a way that the calculator can join the line in order to explain your personality.

In fact and again, I think this whole thing is amazing but not in terms of the accuracy, its the amazing thoughts of how a human brain can think of making business with all these minor numbers. BTW for Chinese we have something similar called "eight words", and i think it is far more accurate? I wish.

Tarot

Had a dinner with my good friends last Friday. They been to this 2 days tarot class to learn how to read tarot. According to them the student that graduated running this same line business and charging RM150 per customer. This looks like a bright future but after my attempts of playing, in my opinion, I think this is a very unrealistic game and not worth the money...

Perhaps it is them that not skill enough yet, or it is me that never believe in this thing. But again, it always has a way to answer the question in a very indirect way to make them innocent, and the best and accurate.

Well, will you pay RM150 for 15-30min to prevail your life? I wont.

Cozy

As I have just gotten the key for my house, I am thinking to renovation and move in as well. As the house I bought is a 15 years old property, there is a scroll of long list to fix and buy. Apart from the hectic items to consider for the renovation, there are also plenty of household appliances to get in order to move in with comfortable and cozy environment. In fact I just want a secure, cozy and a place that I could hang out with friends and family. However looking at my current financial ability I dont think i could afford any of them unless I invest in the gold coin for higher return.

Blogging

Recently I have been revisiting friend's blogsite. No special intention, just that I was free at night and revisit few blogs. It came to my surprises to see many of them has stopped writing. Perhaps they are too busy with new born or maybe diverted the intention to facebook, or maybe because it is not monetize... It is not my problem but just feel wasted cause they are cantonese/chinese blogger and we need more of these people. Or maybe just me, i need more friends that can blog in cantonese..

We started from almost the same time when there is paid post. But I salute them cause they didnt tempted by money but with sole intention of blogging bout their family and life. Some how I do understand as a father/mother for 2, it is very difficult to continue the interest when there are jobs, kids, partner, family and friends to take care at the same time.

Perhaps I will need to wait for another 15 to 20 years, by then they may come back writing again? haha...

RIP WD HDD

I bought it 2 years ago. I dont quite agree that I am a hardcore user but i would say just slightly extensive. I normally use it to copy movies and drama series from my colleagues and I am sure they abuse their hard disk more than me.

But somehow mine just died after 2 years of under my 'careful' usage - I disconnected it properly from the computer each time I detach the USB. Most importantly I didn't drop it before, maybe, i dont know because there was once the cover went off. But in my memory i did not drop it from high, far or any serious distant...

Anyhow, just called WD distributor and they are kind enough to accept the repair but I am wishing 1 to 1 replacement instead. I thought that was what they said during the purchase. But it doesnt matter as long as i can get it fixed but sadly, all the data gong liao... RIP my movies, softwares, games, dramas, animation, entertainment variety etc... : (

Side Income

Recently a friend of mine just received his certification from the Switzerland for his MBA. He scored few merits and receive the distintion in his certification. Looking at his achievement I am sure he will soon turn out to be a very successful man later.

Back to me, I always thinking to further my studies. I am a degree holder but I dont want to further to MBA but instead I would like to have another degree that double or triple my experience so and knowledges. Why, you may ask. Of course it is for the same reason - better package and lifestyle.

Well for general employee like us who worked for 10 years, I guess it is very competative especially there are bunches of new fresh grads that come with MBA. I can't imagine what will happen to us if we don't continue to look for more advancement. But comparing with the fresh grads, I am sure old chaps like me have better advantage because we are not relying only on the profile, but also investment.

Any how we wouldnt know what will happen next. I guess it is time to buy gold coins in case i got beat down by the recruitment market. At least I can still survive by the side income then...

Confused..

I really wanted to put this in words but I dont know how. This is weird and I know it is very unethical but somehow it has been a while since back then. It is getting more ambiguous now as the days passing by.

I don't know how long it will last because the change is coming soon. I seriously hope this will stay a little longer but deep inside of me I know it will soon be gone. It has started to turn sour now and I think it is better to leave earlier rather than later. After all sweet is still more favourable than bitter.

Perhaps someday it may happen. I am waiting but I aint no sure how long I need to wait. You must have think I am talking craps and yes I am cause like I put it upfront, I don't know how to put this and it is confusing...

English Course

It is always my wish to be able to speak more languages. I dont mind if i am speaking a lousy accent, bad grammars or wrong use of words but I believe with more practices make perfected. That's why I picked up Japanese.

Somehow my perception is change towards Englsih. Althought I am able to speak, write, listen and articulate but still I always receive critics on the usage of my grammars. This is a shame especially i am an experience employee but still made basic mistakes than worse than a secondary student.

As English is the mandatory tool to survive, I decide to go for a language center to study from the base. This may look stupid for a grown up to join a bunch of secondary students in a class but for the sake of my future, I think it worths the shame!

TransUnion

Have you ever receive the call from the insurance, bank or other marketing company when you have no idea on how they get your information, especially they know your name and contact etc personal info?

I think it is not surprising for everyone nowadays and in fact, for me it is quite annoying. After a few reading from the paper and the words passing around friends who is working in related firm, we are slowly aware that some company sells they consumer information to the middle company, and it was sold to these marketer.

To some point it is illegal and invading my privacy. I signed up for the product with my personal details but I don't opt for this. It is not here yet but in US, consumer can file the TransUnion Class Action Lawsuit and claim for the monetary damages.

Malaysia, when can we have such equality?

Movies in Jul 2010

On top of traveling I am a big fans for movie and July is definitely a good month for all the movie lovers. If i am not mistaken, July is the summer holiday for the West and usually all sorts of blockbusters will be airing around this time.

In this summer, there are few movies that caught my attention. Despite of I watched Sorcerer's Apprentice, I particularly wanted to watch Despicable Me and Salt. Of course not to forget Inception also because someone told me it is nice.

Well, July is ending soon and i have in fact missed a lot of other movies like Predator, Shrek 4, and Toy Story 3. I know some of them still airing but i don't think anyone would like to watch with me since there are more attractive movies ahead.

Anyway, with the current resourceful internet streaming/seed, I am not worrying but rather thinking it is better to get a better home theater system instead. Haha..

TW Specialist

I guess it is a good thing for me as I always thinking to earn more income on top of just the current employment. Remember the Taiwan trip I went in April? Well the agency there is actually thinking to expand their business to Malaysia and kind enough to offer me as their representative in here.

I am so glad that they chosen me cause first, travel is my biggest hobby and secondly, I like Taiwan and would hope to get travel (free) over there again by this opportunity. Of course not just free, must earn as well.

The deal and first official verbal communication are completed. There are many things in my mind now like how to promote the business, how to run the business model, what customer base to focus on, what are the steps and document required to ensure no legal action or break of deal later...

It will be a busy months ahead, now just gotta plan for the action and make the magic happen!

Gold for reno

Recently I have just bought a house. It is still in the progress and foresee to get it done few months later in order to get the house.

It is definitely a big milestone for my life achievement and likewise, it is also a huge commitment for me. I am not a high paid manager but just a normal employee who barely afford a cheapest range of foreign car, and a moderate price subsales property.

Having said so, I am indeed do not have much saving as well. Therefore I am quite worry about the renovation for this house because I can easily overspent and end up putting myself in debts.

To prevent this from happening, I think it is time now I start to buy gold bullion. This way I can ensure I will not overspent, and secondly I can earn higher return for later renovation.

Horror than horrible!

Clip

Got this link from a friend in Facebook. This is really creepy. I am not really a believer but having the experience watching it alone in the dark at 5am in the midnite (or morning??) Wow I can tell you, it is really "EXCITING"!

The best of the clip is to watch til the end when they rewind and reveal the scene. It was the most creepy image i ever had and the best is, I feel like it is imprinted in my brain. Scary!

Somehow on another hand, I feel very excited for sharing this to all my friend because first, I particular like all creepy things. And secondly, it is very interesting to see something extraordinary like this!

Tell me what you think after you watch it. hehe...

MRI Again??

6 sessions of physio is over but I still dont think there is much improvement compare with the first day i visited KLSMC.

In fact there is very little improvement on the old injury but on another hand, it is getting worse. The pain area is getting more consistent and almost like easily triggered in minor movement. In the past, i will have to bend or twist the angle only i can feel it but now, just a slight stretch will do.

Glad that doctor asked this question, otherwise i will not think of it or maybe discover it only by latter. As the result for it, he requested another round of MRI scan. Well it is not the big deal for me laying down 30min not moving and freeze like a zombie, but the problem is the cost... I wonder if my company is willing to pay for my second diagnosis which easily cost 1k...

Physio 初体验

Finally, I took the advice from Dortor Low to go for physio. Excited, I must say cause first, I had a glimpse on the decor and facilities and so I am quite eager to experience them. Secondly is I hope to recover asap. The appointment is 1pm and it took 2 hours to complete the session. Wondering why it took so long? Look at the following activities, I hope I have listed them all..

1. Gentle massage and rubbing for the injured ankle.
2. Ultrasound treatment for ankle for 5 min - numb and slight tinkling pain.
3. Hot pack to stretch the muscles.
4. Massage for the knees, to adjust it back in the center.
5. Ultrasound treatment for knee for 5 min - nice..
6. Begin ankle gym. First is walking on the treadmill . Direction forward, left, backward, and right. Each 2.5min, total 10min.
7. Balancing game. Stand on a board to balance for left/right for 3 min. Then front/back for another 3 min.
8. Walking game, using toe and hill - 3 round each. Total about 10 min.
9. Tip toeing - 5 Min.
10. Leaning game. Lean the body forward to the wall while standing on a 45 degree sloping board.
11. Begin knee gym. First is staircase game. Super slow movement stepping down from a low bench. Repeat 15x for each side.
12. Knee exercise. Raise the left foot, then on right foot, point the toe to the right and squad slightly for 5 second. Repeat 15x for each side.
13. Ball game. Lay on a big ball against the wall as a back support, then slip a small ball in the middle of legs, lower down the body and squeeze the ball =_=". Then up and repeat for 20x.
12. Last, stretching. Bend down your waist and try to touch your toe. Do it as frequent as drinking water!!
13. Back to the place for cold pack. Then bye2 and see you in 2 days later.

Look easy and relaxing eh? In fact it is not. Especially the gym part, it is freaking tough since each activity is concentrating on my weakest area ie. knee and ankle only. My legs are having earthquake throughout the whole session. Now I am suffering from the after effect - still shaking. Haha... What's more? I have to do it at home also everyday in order to get the best result. What the eff...

Well that's not it. The nuclear bomb (according to CP) is during the payment counter. Each session cost RM260!! And so 'lucky' they are having package, so every 6x cost 'only' RM1300. What the effing eff... Anyhow, I signed up. Really hope can reimburse from the company medical claim... Otherwise really EFF them.

SCB KL Marathon

Friends who know me are aware that I am a no sport type of person. Somehow I often proved them wrong. I guess..

First, I conquered mount KK last year. I 'was' a frequent trekker in local hills (before KK). Of course, the habit had stopped ever since I completed the mission : ) Then follow by this year, I participated SCB KL Marathon. Ambitious, I must say. I started training for 2 weeks, then defeated : ) Not because of I can't hold the thought but the problem is my ankle.

I sprained it >10 years ago during college time. I couldn’t walk the moment I cracked it. Then went for the tit ta, which I suspect that’s where I got the fracture when the sifu twisted it...

I was on Chinese med wrapped around the ankle for a week or two. From then on my ankle like detached from my feet, and sometimes I have minor pain too. Until recently since I joined KL marathon, I went jogging for training. Very average, about 3 times a week. But 2 weeks later I suffer the excruciating pain from my right ankle and couldn’t walk properly for 5 days.

That’s where I go for first doctor, in Damansara Specialist for a very famous orthopedic Doctor Gan. With just few pull and touch, he sent me to full MRI scan and x-ray (normally just x-ray will do).

As a result, I got a piece of cracked in the ankle’s bone, 2 tears, internal bruises between the join, and my ankle is shifted aside. The doctor asked me to run some physio exercise by myself at home. If no improvement in 1 month time, then I have to undergo for surgery which take 6 weeks to walk, and 6 month to fully recover

I was frighten to hell, therefore look for second opinion from KL sports medical center – Dr Low. Dr Low told me normally this can be healed by running physio and the recovery rate is 90%. But the physio is 2 times a week, and continue for 6 weeks.

For me, it is worth to try as long as there is no need for surgery. Well, it is tomorrow then. So eager to try now... : )

Save Gold

Just a few days ago me and my cousins were joking about what if one of us is facing bankruptcy. As you know, one who declared bankruptcy is blacklisted from opening bank account and/or any accounts for loan/transaction. In addition, there cant be any asset that own under the name as well.

Well, in fact when we think again, it is indeed not really that bad. If one who is bankrupted, he can consider buy gold bullion to keep the value and reclaim the status when there is enough money/gold. As we know gold's value is always increasing. Decrease? Rare.

Of course this cannot be done in realistic as it's totally violate the regulation. But what is important here is the awareness of gold investment. You will never know one day it could help you when you needed it. Regardless of its value or usage.

白饭鱼与豆鼓鱼

已有一阵未在这用中文抒发心情。理由还是不过于懒散。因为说实的,用中文书写还挺麻烦的。所以满佩服那些每天坚持用中文写部落格的朋友们。请继续,这世界是十分的需要你们。因为最终我还是觉得读中文文章比英文的来的亲切,当然读的速度也比较快,也比较明白的多。

其实这次想用粤语写的。因为会用到许多广东话的属语。但是因为由于懒惰的问题,只好用华语吧。当然,其中还有一个十分私人的原因,就是黑与白的问题..

话说在一片蓝与青的海里住了许许多多的鱼。有一天因为海啸的冲击,一条无辜的白饭鱼给冲到去住满了豆鼓鱼的海域里。原以为能从这灾难中存活下来还能加入这新的大家庭而开心的白饭鱼,怎知道原来这是恶梦的开始。首先,白饭鱼受到二等公民般的待遇。无论是大至政变小至内部会议,统统都有黑白之分。而且最过分的是有时候它们还可以名正言顺的叫白的离开,因为黑的另有细节要谈。

到最近这排挤还升级了。因为无依无靠的白饭鱼竟然被另族的黑郁鱼给出卖了。从这教训中,白饭鱼领悟到原来天下的豆鼓凌鱼或郁鱼都是一样的黑!

其实事情的经过满简单,由加入豆鼓鱼的大家庭开始,每当需要豆鼓鱼组长注意的事情白饭鱼都会知会一声。但是偏偏每一次豆鼓鱼组长不是游走,就是像海底奇兵的dori般扮失忆。到最终让白饭鱼自生自灭。在这样的环境下沧浪的度过了几个月后,白饭鱼意识到它是被豆鼓鱼组长故意给遗忘的'多够'鱼,所以很自然的也放弃了这知会豆鼓鱼组长的态度。

偏偏在昨天,另族的黑郁鱼因为知道白饭鱼与英国的入口鱼的交情,而利用了白饭鱼去找英国入口鱼来解决它的无能。但是白饭鱼与英国入口鱼并不笨,在一次沟通中把黑郁鱼的无能给板回去。可能因为不忿受到了拒绝,黑郁鱼居然去豆鼓鱼组长那告状。就在另一天的早上,白饭鱼就收到了豆鼓鱼组长以书写方式的责备说发生了这么大的事情但未能提早知会它。白饭鱼觉得十分无辜,因为整间事情的发生很明显是白饭鱼在帮助黑郁鱼作替死鬼。偏偏豆鼓鱼组长就拿白饭鱼去开刀。

其实这件事情并不大,但是由于牵涉到英国的入口鱼,豆鼓鱼组长就慌了。一直以来豆鼓鱼组长能存活至今的理由都是靠擦大鱼的尾或讨好入口鱼。这次明显是豆鼓鱼组长怕得罪英国入口鱼而威胁到它的地位,所以就快快插手希望能讨好它然后白拿功名。最可怜的还是白饭鱼,败了名誉还要被陷害,最惨是还要帮陷害它的黑郁鱼收烂摊子,然后功名却被豆鼓鱼组长给抢去,继续过着死鱼般的生活,惨淡收场也...

Work from Home

My current role allows me to work from home. I think I wrote about this before but again, outsiders think that it is such a wonderful to be able to work from home.

Well I do agree but to certain extend, I dont agree either. Reason being is, the perception from other thought that working from home = no discipline and leisure at home doing own business. But the fact is totally opposite.

Working from home is indeed more stressful. Due to the above reason, the ones who worked from home required more attention to be infront of the laptop. Even with just 5 minutes delay for responding your instant message, the opposite chatter will think you are lazying.

PLEASE! Dont you think it is just too much?? Can I just take a break to make a cup of tea, or toilet break? The situation will be a total opposite when those who said they are very obedient and attentive to office everyday. In which, they reach office by 9am but start breakfast, reading paper, catching football matches, gossiping etc and by the time back to their seat, it's 10.30am.

Best still, 12pm lunch but return to office by 2pm. Not to forget the tea time, ciggies breaks, cubicle hopping and internet surfing time. Then go home at 6pm sharp and consider themselves very hardworking.

What the eff... So if you think it is fun to work from home, think again.

I love Gold

I love gold. This shining yellow piece of metal often drives people crazy. Gold can be very versatile, it can be fixed to your teeth as grille, crafted to your finger, neck, wrist or whichever body parts you can imagine as a fashion. Moreover, you can decor the gold with other natural material like platinum and diamonds to make it more valuable.

Speaking of value, I like gold better in coins and bars. I have a dream of keeping a house with bricks that made with gold bars and the ceiling is tiled with gold coins. Maybe it is time to realize my dream by start investing in gold or start gathering the ceiling material by buy gold coins : )

Afterall, gold is more than just a value, it is touching the meaning of priceless. What you waiting for?

i pad ipad

Instead of asking from the sky (FREE IPAD), I decided to pick up my mind and try to earn more money from writing pay post. Then use the hard earn money in Paypal to pay for my very first pad, opps.. it's ipad.

I am not sure how long it is gonna take but I believe someday, one day I will collect enough USD499 to buy the damn precious pad... opps again, it's ipad.. haha...

I have been ignorance to all other paid post providers and focus only on 1. But now with the great motivation from apple, i think it's time i source the site back to replenish the bullet in my paypal.

My target - GET IPHONE 4G (own money), and IPAD 16GB (from paypal) by end of this year.
My Wish - GET IPHONE 4G 64GB, and IPAD 64GB both from paypal by end of this year.
My reality - perhaps getting none. haha...

Let's just hope the best of the best... sigh.

Buy Gold Bullion

If you have read the news recently, you will know Euro currency is going down to drain. I am not sure if this is a good news but i am sure some will loose, but others will make profit out of it.

However, in this era, investing on foreign exchange and shares almost like burning your own money in an instant. Change is imperative to cope with the new market - buy gold bullion. Unlike the conventional investment, the value of gold is sustainable. This has especially true as since the ancient time, gold has been using to represent wealth and power. This proven history cannot be changed and will definitely continue in future.

What's more, the value of gold is keep increasing. Why still risking your money? Invest in gold today.

Business minded?

After I came back from TW I saw an opportunity in making the travel business there. Since I engaged the local agent for my tour, i have the first hand experience with their services, and also self experience in their tour.

I wouldnt say it is superb but at least, all my tour members were very satisfied and had a great time in TW. Nevertheless that gives me a huge courages in keeping this power going on and on. On top of that, I can earn some extra money and perhaps full time working on travel in future.

But most importantly, well thats the best part and i guess you know already, which is I can travel around the world for free, yeah and that's my all time dreams. Let's hope the first bucket will be a success!

Free iPad??

CP had really influenced me. We are attracted to whatever that begins with 'i'. Of course, only the 'i' product from apple.

I think I am just too desperate, till the point I paid USD15 (GBP10) to subscribe freebiejeebies. Of course, there is no such thing call 'free'. There is a catch, not just the GBP10, but also, the initiator has to refer 22 people to pay the same amount in order to get the free iPad 16GB wifi.

In my calculation, it does costs less than the original price but the effort to persuade people does not worth the price. (Although I do hope that you will help me .. hehe.)

Ok, if you really wanna try, here are the few simple steps:

1. Register an account through freebiejeebies. This one is really FREE :P
2. Select an offer - I picked little bid tasty and deposit GBP10. (I thought I can bid the cash back but no luck...) You may try other offer though...
3. Refer another 22 friends to get the "FREE" ipad. You may change your gift if you give up... : )

I know this sounds like a scam, furthermore, I have not received the gift. But please read my email conversation below. I think it worths to give it a try with USD15 (3 paid posts) : )
