The year 2009

Yeah...blogging at the year end.....reviewing back what I have come to realise and learn over the whole course of 2009......

Things that are joyful and things that are not so....I think the most important thing that I come to realise is....not all things that you wish for will come through...there are things that you should just accept as it is...and learn to let go. Yeah....learn to let go...someone told me that b4. How irony. Maybe the person who told me that sense where I am heading and give me hints to move on. Anyway, just a self talk/thought yet again.

The song to sum up year 2009.

December

Less than 5 days will be December. Month of togetherness. Or maybe not for some.....

Back2Back

Past 2 weeks is the most exhausted yet exciting. Not to mention back2back travel here and there doing different things. First stop, Taiping for training. Not mine. My colleague. Be there to learn something from it. And yes. I do. Now I know like 2% of SAP Plant Maintenance. Yeepi. Now I know how the PR is created in PM and leads to the creation of PO on my MM side. And I also know how my Goods Issue frm MM is link back to the notification created from PM. Sound complicated? Not really. Think about it I think is only 0.2% what I know bout PM. This world is too big for one person after all.

Of course, not to mention the great new hotel I been staying at Taiping. Really recommended by me. It is newly open like 2 months ago. The rate is not too bad either. 120+ for a deluxe room and just opposite Taiping lake and 1 KM away from Taiping zoo (aka night safari). What can you ask man....
Check out the top right corner of the hotel. I box it red. It actually a swimming pool!. Well the roof top of the hotel got this bar call SKY BAR.
This is what I mean. Look to swimming pool is partition out from the corner using glass!~ Imagine what if there is a crack. Interesting.
One thing good about new hotel. You get white white bed sheet. Yeepi.
And of course. You got a LCD TV. =D
Brand spanking new clean toilets!
Back from Taiping. Immediately is TOP Team Building at Putrajaya.
At first I thought we would need to swim here. Hmm.. Mayb not.
Dunt compare the room with Taiping. I heard the rate is very different.
You can play checkers on the TV. How cool is dat.
Team building over. Back to Taiping for the real deal. My own training. By the time, I almost wanna sleep whenever I got the chance. Be it at the car or as soon as I reach the room. Instead. I off to walk around the lake since it is not raining. Genius.
But was rewarded with some fresh air and nice scenery.
One for the record.
Saw this at mutiara damansara. I think I will like diving.......

Just Listen

42 n 360

Man....where's the 42" and 360.... :/

The Great Blue

Today I finally able to change the batt for my watch. After bout 2 weeks I been wearing a watch that is not running is abit weird. My collegue ask me what time, I got to tell him, I am wearing a watch not watch.

Sometime while waiting for the lift, where there is alot of people, I have a habit of looking at the watch. Again, I am realise my watch is not running. After this two weeks of weird situation, I seriously have time to look properly on my watch (I been holding it the whole night now looking at it, cleaning it, admiring it). In fact, I have a very nice looking watch and of course reliable (dunt count the time it run out of batt).

The watch I have been wearing like 3 years now I think. It is pass on from my dad to my bro, my bro to me. All this 3 years, every day, 10 hours a day at least, it is a regular item stick to my wrist. Even though it is close to me, I have not realise that it actually look nice, reliable and perfect companion to me.

This really reminds us that there are things that is close to you, you will not realise how good it is or even appreciate it. When it finally leave you for good, you will only feel lost or feel regret. Thats really human nature I think. Not to appreciate whats around you and take it for granted until the day you finally lost it or is taken. Therefore, please appreicate whats around you and not only regret it when you finally lost it.

Anyway, found the watch on ebay. Cant believe they actually still selling it. Watch is suppose to be a time keeper is timeless after all.

(PS: The watch is brought 7 years ago. If you are wondering..........)

Endless Questioning in head

Is 4.30am.....have not experience insomnia for sometime. The last time of such experience was way way back last year....mid of feb or march...I think...

Apparently telling something or saying something is really hard...when you really don't know what to say or be certain of what you going to say........
Why would someone be so careful with what they say....is saying something really going to change everything? or maybe is better to say it out...

Yes, you are correct. Putting the things in heart is really torturous. Why would you keep it. There are some people who can say it out without much effort...without thinking so much...without taking into account what is going to say....period.

Maybe is best to put a stop to this. End it for sure. Live for that day and that day only. Be certain chances of saying it is really rare....wonder how long more until the second chances pops up.....or maybe it will never pop up. .....

D5

For the past 2 weeks, been going to Sitiawan back and forth for D5. So the remaining will be D6, the last for Peninsula and D7 and D8 at East side. Come and think about it, a year does past by really fast. Still like last week in my memory when I thinking to join the project or not last year. And yet here I am 10 month down the road.

Sometimes, it makes me wonder for awhile. What have I archive in this 10 month....

Anyway, I dint know where is Sitiawan until the visit. I dint know Lumut is close to Sitiawan, and I certain dunt know that you actually go to Pangkor at Lumut. Of cos, I dint know that to go to Sitiawan, you can take the coastal road from Kuala Selangor or take the highway exit Bidor and then take the coastal road, Or if you are adventures enough, you can take the Gopeng exit and take the Lumut way. Yupe. I have taken all 3 of them. So now I know how to go to Sitiawan from which ever direction.

First week of my visit was alright. Beside that they give us a room with 2 single beds. Who need two beds anyway......when I am staying alone. They give some genius answer saying the hotel is fully booked (NOT!). A friend say the company is so thoughtful to prepare another bed in case I want to bring someone back........ (-.0)

Of cos, we dint miss the famous Kon Pan (Dry Biscuit) at Sitiawan. Another friend say must try, alot of people there, the flies is even more....he added. So we did buy some and even ta pau back home some.

I was really thinking to get a GPS. Most of the time, at night when we were craving for some dinner, a GPS does come in handy. Wonder I should even get one sooonnnnn...

How can I even miss the Jeti..... according to my team lead, the jeti has been upgraded really much. Well...this is the first time I am here...haha...hardly can imagine before this....


Week two is definitely better, at least this time around, I have a full size bed...wohuuuu.......

A view from my place to my participant.....all missing due to Lunch Time... :p

Human Nature

For those who hate their job......



Apparently....everyone like to complain about their job.....and always envy of the others....for some reason....

Fake/Real/Real/Fake

Lesson for month of October.....

Don't be a idiot....and fools around.....

If you never failed, you never lived.

Weird How

It's weird when you going to lose hope or faith on something and weird things will happen. Weird How?

The story goes like this, the other day I was looking my dead desktop and thought to myself. Heck if it is not running, why don't I just dismantle the whole damn thing. Maybe is the power supply or so I thought myself that the reason it is not running. So I dig out my trusty multimeter (not mine is my bro's) from the store (after start working all elect/electronic related stuff has been shove into the store along with my knowledge with it...sigh) and begin to pull the parts apart.

First, graphic card to go.....unscrew the screw....due to the space constraint of the CPU, it is pretty hard to get it out. So I need to push the casing a little wide open. Puuuuusshhhh Puuuulllll. No luck. it is not coming out. Even after I have deformed the casing a bit. I thought to myself. If I were to pull abit harder. I might just pull bits of the motherboard together with it. Making decision. Should I just do it. My nephew were standing next to me playing my keyboard, screwdriver, cd...and almost anything that he can reach. This is what you get when you hav babies in the house. Heck.

Okay. Hell with it. I am going to just pull the damn thing with all my strength. One Two.......
Just about to happen. I just suddenly thought about it. Have I unplug the monitor cable attach to the graphic card?!?!?!?!!?.......
SHiiiiiittttt....that the word utter out my mouth uncontrollably. Naturally, my nephew repeats my words after me. Sigh. This reminds me of role models. I did teach him A, B, C, D, Car, Carrefour, Nose, Head, Eye, Kau Fu (uncle even though he pronounce as Carrefour but I am happy enough) and list goes on......but shit is not the word I wanna to teach. I looked at him...and he looked at me and blink his eye. Sigh. Move on shall we.

Next to go. I took out the motherboard button battery. This time I am going to really reboot the bios for sure. Next, power supply to harddisk. And finally power supply to the motherboard. Just as I wanted to pull it this time. I am for sure check if there is anything that attach to it. Nope. Nuthing. Puuuuulllllllllllllllllll.... No luck. Same thing. Naturally. I thought of my bro image talking to me. "Power cable to motherboard is very fragile de....especially when the system is a couple of years old". Heck. It does look fragile and it don't seems to be coming out. So I grabbed my phone and call my bro seeking some engineering opinion. However, I am just asking the same thing I already know. Is there a clip attach to the cable. Check. Yes. Even though I know the answer, still wanna ask. Weird.

After some tiring ten's of minute. I gave up. Hardware is really not my thing. There is no undo, there is no simulation, there is no save and try it. Demotivated. I slowly put back all the things together. My real intention of testing the power supply failed. Power-ed up the system. To my surprise, it booooteed!!!.. and I looking at the Bios screen. But seems my joy short lived. I try to navigate the screen with my keyboard. It dint move. Damn. Hang at Bios again. Suck. Just as I want to switch it off. The lady live within my motherboard (a probe in my motherboard with lady voice that I love and hate) said...."No Keyboard found.....No keyboard found"

Yeah. I did it. It work. Weird. Weird How.

Whateverla

This is not getting better..........
1) Car got scratched by don't know who for whatever reason
2) Desktop computer just died for don't know what reason and just keep on hang (can't even log in to BIOS) with a voice keep telling "CPU failed due to overclocking.....CPU failed due to overclocking.........)
3) Altec lansing speaker starts to giving behavior........
4) People around starts to giving behavior.....

Whats more to come for the coming weeks.........

Bah....whatever...la..

Life like that........

First I wanna say....my BabyGodzilla oredi ONE YEAR OLD........since the first time I blog about it......here......
Coincidentally......my car did a 15 000 KM in one year time at the same night it turn one year old......
Well, after driving it for one year....I have no major complaint.....it feels almost same horsepower like my old BabyGodzilla aka Wiralution 1.5L...more quiet (due to it is still new kua) and more comfortable and less bumpy (due to high profile tire.PS: dunt change your rim or the profile else you will regret). It is my trusty workhorse that bring me to work to yumcha to movie to badminton.....and occasionally have some vroom vroom with some vios or alike...........

Sadly enough today...I wash my car after like 2-3 weeks (usually wash it everyweek) due to traveling here and there this few weeks.........and to my surprise...there is this scratch to my car front bumper......haiz...some idiot seems to be scratch my car due to their IMPOTENT of driving car..........
Can see ma? Haiz....poor camera.....
What a great way to mark my BabyGodzilla first anniversary..... Thank Q to who ever did this....I hope you have a good sleep at night.....
Please also stop buying your license every year....you are endangering other motorist.........
Another lesson of the day......always wash your car every week.......you will then know your car better and know when you got hit by some F@#K&@.........

Marathon Weeks

In response to KJ's Movie Marathon......in fact I did a marathon last 2 weeks ago.......and the weeks before that too (for John Conner)..............

Last two weeks....after my house second floor renovation completed....I manage to dig up a projector that is entrusted to me by my father.....to take care of it.....
It did collected some dust and lying around the corner......however, it still manage to start up...
Quickly I hook up the cable to my laptop......................

Viola.........Fast&Furious I, II, III, IV............
The movie that I still dunt dare to do a marathon is...............StarWARS....anyone?

It's thinking about it..........

This week seems to past by quickly enough, but just that I have not gain enough sleep. How many hours does a human need to sleep? It appear as when you are older you will need less hours of sleeping and more hours of working. Even when you are not working, you are suppose, your brain suppose to be keep working and thinking and thinking and thinking. Something that I been doing for past couple of weeks. For whatever reason, I still dunt know.

Anyway, this week, traveling begin again. Deployment is reaching further and further away from home. This time around, we have the honor being the trainer and it is at Kluang. Nope. We dunt have the chance to enjoy Kluang Coffee yet if you are wondering. Hopefully, this coming week we will have the chance.

Being there for three days, your mind will start to wondering around especially when at nite alone in your own room. In the room, you will realize how things is prepare in such a way. Single serving pack of sugar, single serving tiny bottles of shampoo and shower gels, single serving.............................
The main lobby of the Kluang Prime City Hotel, apparently it is one of the best hotel around..........
I got to admit, since I got all for myself.....it take me sometime to roll from one corner to another....
I dunt know how to describe this..........
Some nice scenery at our training venue....Zenxin Organic Farm....
Scenery part 2......
Our training venue.......(nope...I havent able to conquer this stage yet)
Something more down to earth la.........
Take center stage..........
A chance to feel how midnite DJ at work................

The training venue is generally quite nice....with alot of green, fish and organic foods. But, organic food is not something I would be too fancy about. Anyway, here we go again tomorrow......with organic food that keep me fit and slim only after 3 days...............

Lucky Pen

I think I have lost it.

I used to clip it on my shirt pocket every morning before going to office. In fact, I have realize I dint have it in my pocket since this week Monday. However, I dint bother to check if I have left it in my room or I actually lost it on Monday. Cos I assume it is in my room or at the living room. Assume.

Apparently, today I realize I was wrong and I actually lost it.

This reminds me of things that used to be around,quite often we overlook or even dunt bother to appreciate it. Quite often we think that it will always be there for us. Until the day we really lost it. This applies to chances that been lying around us where we dint bother to take it, thinking there is always another chance or another day. Until the day we missed it, and pass each day regretting.

Human is such a weird.

The Five Stages

Dear Friends,

If you ever feel down, sad or even depress about your life, your work or even your current situation, dunt worry.....is all part of something call life. All of us will experience the five stages.

Just keep in mind................

Its........

Its weird....when you dunt know what to decide for yourself.
Its seems like everyone around you know what going on but yourself.
Its good if you can make decision without worrying the outcome.
Its would be great t if you can tell something without worrying the consequences.
Its would be best if you can be less rational and not making any planning for every little thing in your life.
Its would be excellent if there is Undo button in reality so I would try it........


Sincerely,
Me Myself and I.

What lies ahead

Apparently travelling alone can be fun/lonely/scary at times. In fact if you are travelling alone for work, the amount of effect can be double at times. Imagine you have not much people to talk to...except your client of course. But talking to client is kind of different compare to talking to your family or friends. There is just something you cannot share with them and the need to maintain your composure. After a hard and stressful day, you would always appreciate to be able to talk to someone, to share with them what you been through the day. It does make me understand something........

So far, I would say my trip last week for the palm oil mill production go-live is the toughest. Not to mention the amount of pressure in the day talking to the mill manager and his assistant, and the night preparing for tomorrow stuff in your room in the middle of a jungle.Anyway, of course its a great experience. Taking a few days of fresh air does make you feel more refresh though.

Huhuhuhu...my chalet for the week. Dunt look too bad. In the day of course.

There you have your cranky steel bed, a "dunt dare to look" mirror and table top for your lappy.
Of course some pretty nice scenery to look at while sitting at the bench outside.

Treeeeeesss!.... How can you missed trees when you are in the middle of the estate.
These long walkway towards the unknown is kind a common sight. Dare to take it or leave it alone.
Some fake mountain minus the water.
Some place for you to chill out if you are lost while wondering around.
Another fountain...minus the water. Honestly, this fountain is near my chalet. And I pass by it every night. I only took this photo on the last night after a long long long decision.

Dunt ask why.

Roads not taken

Is 7 on a Sunday Morning now and I woke up. Sunday suppose to be a day where you should sleep till your brain drops and you head numb. But it seems that I am losing more sleep over the weeks. Wondering how long this going to last.

Probably I should said, it begins since last 2 week where my travel spree begin. Merlimau (somewhere between Melacca and Johore) end user training. Supposing an 2+ hour ride only took me 1 1/2 hour. It gives me a feel on hows travelling on a proton wira at 170kmh. My team lead said I am like hanging on to my dear life holding the car handle and not take some small nap during the journey. I like fast cars, drive fast myself at times, but I am just not comfortable travelling fast in a car not driven by me.

Anyway, Merlimau training supposing my first work-travel-overnite. Staying at the estate guest house. I must admit I am abit skeptical at first, preparing for the worse, for houses with creaking sound or and sort of abandon house. Apparently I am wrong. It actually a quiet decent and well manage then any 3 star hotels.



The living room where we watch some snowy channel while eating durians offer by kind Sime KPO.

Lucky clean bed sheets.


We are not working. Just charging handphone.

24/7 Auxiliary police keeping us feel safe.

Reach back from Merlimau. Next stop within the next day Genting overnite. This time is my own training/education event. While going up, I feel dizzy and wanted to throw up. my hands and legs were numb like they dunt belong. Luckly I dint not, not on people brand new car anyway.

Apparently, theres nothing much you can do at Genting if you are not a kid or a God of Gambler. Yes. It apply to me.

The trainer asked. What is the first ever profession. Someone was quick to answer. Prostitution. Apparently it is wrong according to him. He said consultant were the first. Base on the bible where Adam and Eve were influence by the Satan to eat the apple. The job of a consultant is to influence others to do things that he wanted to do but he is asking someone to do it.Swt. I think GBS is full with Satan. hahaha.

Nice scene while going down. This time I am taking the front seat~!

Okay. I am very much awake now. Haiz.
