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...
