Diary: 25th - 28th April 2005

Nothing much to report, work has been as usual. Been looking at my financial status and I think a re-vamp of my current financial is in order. This will begin effective May I’ve come up with a plan to have better finance status. To all of you thinking of borrowing money from me go fly kites I think its time I call in my debts. You know who you are… time to pay up.

Lester has been really layed back; I think the brother finally got some. I got a postcard from Shelly telling how much fun she was having in Wales and Glasgow. The postcard was a picture of the Welsh Historic Monument but what was more interesting was the Magic stamp. Yes the magic stamp, you rub one part of the stamp and the color comes off completely but after some time it come back like MAGIC. British stamps are always so creative, and artistic. When I was young and used to collect stamps I used to wait for mail from my aunts, every time there were many different designs. Not like our Malaysian ones where its always a picture of our local fruits.

On Thursday, it was Poh Chee’s last day at work. Lenny, Poh Chee, Denisa and I went out to dinner at Mont Kiara to a place called Fandango’s which apparently used to be know as 1957. The menu was a copied straight from the Chilies with its Quesadillas, Fajitas, a rip of off triple play, etc. We shared dishes we ordered the sampler which consist of egg rolls, chicken wings, prawns and jalapeno peppers stuffed with cheese. We ordered some Quesadillas and a large Mexican pizza. The food was good nothing that great. After dinner we headed upstairs to the pool hall for a couple of games of pool and foosball. It was actually fun playing foosball. It was hard maneuvering the sticks but fun.

Diary: 24 April 2005 - The Mask Are Up

Mum woke me up to go to church, damm I so wanted to skip mass this week as well. I woke dragged my feet, I couldn’t open my eyes so I had my mp3 player blaring just to ensure I was awake. Pop Shuvit in the morning is good for days with no coffee access. Mass was celebrated today with 4 priest. Apparently the bishop was supposed to be there but he was called to Rome to witness the Pope’s installation. I had no clue… great Christian I am init.

After mass I headed home, watched cartoons decided to skip lunch and have more sleep. I got up early evening, iron my clothes and got ready for an evening with my dad’s relatives. The sickening lot. I hate going there as it’s filled with superficial people waiting to back stab you. Alex, Andrew and I took the train to the house. They were so called glad to see me as I have most of the time dodge every event thrown at me. I only came because Aunt Catherine is the only one I’m close too and she requested me to be there. The function was my Aunt daughter’s confirmation. Mum and Dad were their so called Godparents. I stuck by Aunt Catherine and we chit chatted it’s been a long time since we meet. We talk about Pria who is quite eager to come back home. She been studying in Newcastle and graduates in July.

Food was served and it was a nice meal. Aunt Daisy cooked everything, everything rich and tasty. We lingered around. Me giving half smiles to people I barely spoke too. We left home at 9 I hanged around at home fiddling on my mp3 player waiting for the clock to hit 11 to catch the finale of Apprentice, to my disappointment the program began at 10 and I missed 1 hour of the show. I was surprised most of the crowd picked Kelly, pity Jen was like a rejected case. I think Kelly would make a good investment in Trumps firm, better then Bill Rancic

Diary: 23 April 2005 - Wonderfull Day

I was rudely awoken by Alex, apparently some shady guy has been asking for water to repair his car. Alex said it has already been 2 times he has asked for water and now he it was the 3rd. The shady guy was asking direction to my church to see Father Soosay who has been shifted for 5 years already. We knew he was trouble. He knocked the door again and I opened it this time, he was shocked to see me, he asked for cellophane tape which I said we didn’t have any, I gave him his water and I closed the door. I took a bath, Aunty my neighbor gave some spring hoppers for breakfast which came with delicious chicken curry. As I ate Mel called telling me to meet him up with at 1 in Hang Tuah Station. Andrew came back, claming a shady guy said we gave him directions to church and we were good kids. Mysterious how he could recognize Andrew and tell him about us.

I meet Mel at 1 in Hang Tuah station, the brother was out of a car as he sent it to the paint shop. We took the monorail to Sg Wang where we just hanged around talking and stuff. It was the basic male bonding stuff, bitching about work and some girls. We talked about my birthday party and how it went and all. All of a sudden Mel gave me 4 months time frame to find a girl friend or I would be introduced to a man… hahahaha. Where do I find a girlfriend? I’m very against for finding em’ at clubs so where are my options left… Let’s see where fate leads us.

I and Mel walked around shopping malls looking for an affordable laptop, then we headed to Time Square to see what was so great about Borders the new Book shop. It was 2 floors of books. I didn’t see anything that really appeals to me. I didn’t spend much time as Mel isn’t actually a reader and he got bored fast. I’ll just have to go by myself sometimes soon. As we walked around Time Square we found GSC, we noticed that Guess Who was showing so we got 3 tickets for night show. After getting the ticket’s we headed to Seed for lunch, I was famished as I had skipped breakfast and all.

After lunch we headed to an action figure shop where I showed him the statuette of Darth Vader I so badly wanted to get for myself. It was much cheaper than what I saw in Jusco. I notice there was lot of SPAWN figurines but no Marvel characters like Wolverine, Spiderman, etc. I guess the market for that stuff has just died. After window shopping we headed to the Paint shop to pick up his car. It was in Jalan Peel so we took a cab from Sg Wang. We took the car and headed to his place. Lisa greeted me with her harming smile. She made me some ginseng tea which tasted so good. I’ve never been so keen about ginseng stuff case of the smell and taste but I did enjoy the tea very much. I and Melman played PS2 where he kicked my ass in every game. I enjoyed playing the Olympic game where we had to finish 25 sport activities. I picked Malaysia and Mel picked Singapore, obviously he was better but it was real fun.

We had dinner at Time Square, a Thai Place that was quite hidden from the eyes of the public. How we found it, using the directory. Times Square is so huge but it didn’t have any proper eating outlets. It had its fast food joints but no proper restaurants. As the place was hidden there weren’t much people in the restaurant. We ordered, Mel had Tom Yam noodles, Lisa had Fried rice with Chicken and Papaya salad and I had Fried Kuey Tiau and Chicken. While eating I notice they had no chicken in my Kuey Tiau I called the waited to tell him he said he would sort it out. What happen was he ordered another one and charged me for it we had to call another waited to explain our predicament. They told me to take the new one and waive one Kuey Tiau. All of a sudden the old one comes back with chicken. I was swamped by Kuey Tiau. Mel and Lisa was laughing their heads off, all of a sudden I feel so fed up of Kuey Tiau that I just don’t want any more. We had desert, Water Chestnuts with coconut milk.

We headed to cinema and I was quite impressed how they made up the place. It was quite cool the sound system was mind blowing. Sharp, loud and detail. The entire current cinema available loses hands down. GSC seems to be in full force to bring down TGV. Their attempt seems to be very fruitful. The movie Guess Who was a classis black comedy which I love to enjoy. Starring Bernie Mac and Aston Kutcher, I am a big Bernie Mac fan has his jokes are straight to your face kind of jokes. I wont give away much but all I say I love inter-relationship movies and black comedy. The heroin in the movie is sexy. After the movie we headed home.

Diary: 21 & 22 April 2005 - Not bothered

21 April 2005
Some Muslim Holiday, Slept had lunch, slept more,

22 April 2005
Back to work I honestly couldn’t get up. There wasn’t much to do in the office. Kevin was still lingering around like a mosquito annoying me. Lenny kept on giving him sarcasm, but Kevin was like a brick taking as it comes. It rained heavily in the evening so heavy that I had to stay back in the office and play mini golf in my pc. I had dinner with Lenny; we headed to the KFC drive through. It was still raining heavily, I really wasn’t up for KFC but that was our only option. I had a 2 piecer which I barely finished. After dinner I headed home where Lenny dropped me off at Midvalley where I took the KTM back, headed home for a lazy sleep

Diary: 20th April 2005

I woke up late today, I found myself rushing to Midvalley to meet Shari. We planned to watch the Pacifier today. Being late I told her to get the tickets. We meet at the cinema floor. We hanged for awhile, I noticed there were allot of Indian people there, most likely to see the Rajnikanth movie. We entered in and it was a nice Disney family movie. Diesel played his part real well. After the movie we headed to SFC and had lunch both of us had pasta cabonara with meatballs. We both decided that it was best we didn’t see each other for a whole month as we didn’t want to wad of future prospects, not like there are any lining up for me. It was already bad that our friends think we are going out; we didn’t want the whole community thinking so. I know some people are already bitching about us together… you know who you are.

After the movie we walked around and watched another movie, Coach Carter. I am a big fan of Samuel L. Jackson and if you know the characters that he plays, you will know you don’t mess with him. The movie was a classic Samuel L. Jackson, with the attitude and skill. I enjoyed the movie allot. After the movie we headed home.

Am I a Negro or an Indian

During my birthday dinner, Sharon (my ex) asked why I had an accent and did I have an identity crisis. Well I explained to Sharon that having an accent ensures that you get better treatment that to me is a proven fact as I have done countless experimented on such a thing. For the sense of identity did make me think? What have I become over the years. It’s true I’m no longer the ‘Indian’ I was but I have adopted to the cultures of the western (mostly African American /British Lingo).

I do shy away from Indian groups as I normally label them as troubled groups and I do not speak the language fluently. But this doesn’t mean I am not any Indian as the next. I still enjoy a good Indian movie, songs. I do have my favorite actors and actress. Does this make me Indian? The other side of me is so western it influences every aspect of my life, from the choice of clothes to what I eat everyday. If given the choice I rather have Western cuisine (not your fast food) then rice and curry every day.

My thought wondered who I really was, as being Indian also involves cultures something I have not neglected nor am I bother to follow such superficial stuff. I picked Lenny’s brain on this matter and he replied me this “u are a blady ass with a false sense security who like to think he isn’t an Indian but in actual life u are true blooded Indian who can do the street dance like any other poruki”. Which is true play me an Indian ‘dapang kuttu’ and my body will move to the beat?

Hmm... from here I look like an Indian I guess but there is a part of me that is suppressing this all. Which means Lenny is right I do have a false sense of security but why??? Is it that being labeled Indian is nothing but a 3rd grade race in Malaysia? I have many times come across people who look down on my race. Maybe we are our own identity, we make up what we want. Through knowledge and experiences we gather up that relates to us and apply to it. The older generations has already labeled who I am. What are Indians? I’m just saying I am Indian but a bit more.

Diary:19th April 2005 - Free Meals

Day 2 of holiday I woke up at 7 today as well, today I was a man on a mission. Today I put a stopper to one of my long craves. Today I go get nasi lemak. I headed to my usual place and got a nasi lemak with sotong. I got dad a plain nasi lemak and mum some curry puff. I made iced Milo and enjoyed breakfast. I was bored to hell by 9. Feeling the boredom I filed my bills and found that I had an mp3 player unopened just lying there. I tore the package open and started filling it with music. . By the time I was done it was time to get ready to meet Fiona for lunch. I got ready and headed to Menara Millennium. I met Paddy the owner or Motivator Advert Agency and was kind enough to bring me to the office which I have never been before.

Paddy joked how he was going to tease Fiona about my lil lunch date with her. Feeling bad I told Fiona immediately about the predicament she was actually quite cool about it. We headed to Starbucks for lunch. We ordered our meal. Both of us had turkey sandwich. We began to talk when all of a sudden a Starbucks rep said if it was ok for him to ask us to test one of the coffees. Assuming that he was going to pour us some freebies and leave I was soo wrong where I and Fiona had to go through some kind of coffee coinsuring taste test. We were taught to drink coffee correctly and requested to give feedback. Fiona was so taken a back but as I have had been to a few coffee places and drank quite a vast range myself I was able to keep up. Out small session ended up with some free sample of cakes which tasted good.

After a 2 hour long lunch with Fiona I headed to Midvalley to meet up with Anne. As I reached Midvalley Anne sms-ed me saying she would be late. Luckily I had my mp3 player with me so it was kind of a company. MPH wasn’t much help as the book range seems to be the same. Feeling bored I called Marcia who so happen worked just near by we had ice-cream at 31 Baskin and Robins. We chit chatted both happy to see each other. I filled her up on my birthday party and how wasted I was. Anne only came at 4; it was obvious she was pretty tired. We had tea and had some small chat. I was surprised that she got me a gift a Body shop gift pack. She said I ‘muka tak malu’ put what I want on my webpage. Hey but all of you used it to get my presents in it. Shasha (aka Purple Wedding) big up, thanks for telling Sharon to get me the Reshmonu CD.

I wanted to cut short my meet with Anne she was really tired we did a lil window shopping which ended her buying a toy phone for her niece. I headed back home took a short nap and woke up to see TV. Stayed up late night watching TV.

Diary: 18th April 2005 - I Did My Taxes

First day of holiday, I up by 7 as today I do my taxes. Apparently the last day to do your taxes is April 30 2005 and I haven’t declared myself since the day I began a steady job, which is 2001. Dad was kind enough to walk me through the process. I head to Jalan Duta LHDN with all my statements. There were not much people as I stepped into their office nearly to 8. I didn’t have a file number as I haven’t registered with them before so I had gone to the number issuance lady to tell her my predicament. She gave me a number and asked me to wait for my call so that everything would be sorted. I wait for my number where I’m gracefully treated by a Malay lady, handing me over forms for me to fill up for 2001 – 2004. She said I should come back one this forms are fully filled. Dad said there were a place teaching people to fill in their form in the next block so we headed there. A Chinese man taught me to fill up one form and headed back home to finish of the rest. Assuming that tit would take me the whole day. I got myself a big breakfast and made me some Nescafe. I was done in 30 minutes. It was that easy.

I head back to LHDN before lunch just to make I get a number before lunch time. To my surprise there is this big bunch of people queuing up for the numbers. Thinking I should call it a day, dad said we should wait as we had the whole day. Wait we did the numbers were called real fast actually. When I was called to the counter the lady took my forms checked it printed a copy and asked me to head to the 5th floor to get myself registered… Arrrghhhh!! ! !


I headed to the 5th floor where the place is actually deserted. All the cubicles are empty. I ring a bell at the counter hoping someone would magically appear taking my woes away. Yes that lady did come from the back after lunch I presume. She took my 2001-2003 forms and told me to wait. That wait took me 15 minutes. She came out giving me a number (file number). I took that number applied it in my 2004 forms and headed back to the 1st floor to the ticket lady to take a new number. The lady checked my forms tore of the 1st page and I was a free to go. That was it, my taxes declaration was done. According to my 2004 earnings I only had to pay RM0.26 cents which the government so kindly waived off. How I did that, well my dad taught me some loop holes. Hehehehe…..

I was quite happy I did my taxes now I can officially bitch about how tax payers money goes to waste…. . My phone was still screw up I had to use the NEC while at the tax office. Yesterday I managed to do something now the LCD works but the keypad seems to call Peggy each time its idle. The phone only works properly in the SMS mode. Today I poured love to my phone I told her how much she meant to me and what happen was a bad thing and we could work it out. After all that sweet talking (I know I need a life) the phone worked without a hitch. See isn’t that just like a lady. I keep saying my phone is like my wife and she is. I kicked back just plain relaxing.

Diary: 16th and 17th April 2005 - One Blured Day

Its Saturday, I got up at about 9-ish. Alex was in his Indian outfit. Apparently he was joining some kind of Tamil New Year event. I got ready and left to KLCC as my phone has been barred for 2 days and it has been like a paralyzed arm unable to do anything. Luckily I had one of my test sim cards with me. So I used that to make any emergency calls or send any sms. After paying my bills I headed to my barber shop to crop my hair to the usual Botak stage. I as feeling bit wild (after watching Blade Trinity yesterday). I got the barber to draw 3 lines on my head. I headed home and there was nothing to eat, Andrew was hungry so I bought him some tau fu fah as the man came. I took a short nap knowing as I would be a full swing tonight.

I woke up got ready for the ‘festivities’. I got dress and by the time I was done there was no electricity. I left to 1 Utama early not wanting myself to sweat myself. I meet Peggy, Uncle and Kunju on the train. We had lil chit chat and they got off. I headed to 1 Utama knowing I was early I headed to MPH to see any good books to buy later in Kinokuniya. I did spot a couple titles tat I keyed in to my phone. Will get it next month when the piggy bank is replenished.

I got a call from B, as we chit chatted for at least 45 min on stuff. Shari called me later and we meet up walked around the place as I was still early. We headed to the restaurant at 7.30. I and Shari was the 1st as we sat alone together in such a big table. We ordered soup to began with as all of them were late. Mel and Lisa was 1st to arrive. The looked good together. Then it was Nick, Sharon and surprise guest Mung. I taught she was past tense in Nicks life. We had a wonderful meal laced with white wine. We had Garlic Chicken Pizza, Lasagna, Pasta, a roasted chicken toped with my Chocolate mouse Birthday cake. Marcia made a guest appearance with Neil both of them look good together; Neil got me a liter of vodka. Kelvin was the last to come.

The gals were mean they made me drink virgin oil as I left to the toilet they schemed it up. It was such a wonderful dinner. I had loads of fun. The next part of the evening was such a blur. It began with whiskey dry and Vodka, being drenched in water. Next thing I knew I woke up in a hotel room at 7.30 (some context taken out). I slept back till 11 got my wet clothes and headed back home. Mum was pissed, don’t really blame her too. I took along bath put my soaked wet clothes with lots of soap. Relaxed made some tea and nursed my hang over. Mum cooked some red beef which tasted so good. I took more nap. My nokia 6820 was short circuited as I was drenched with cold water. I had to let it dry. I saw water condensed in my phone screen from the inside. Shit man… although my new phone just got released I didn’t what to change so fast. After drying it and charging the hanphone it turned on but the keypad seems to be screw up. GOD now I need to change the keypad. Friends called to check on me to see if I was ok or not. Lucky I had the NEC e238 as back up. I took lots of rest on Sunday. I hate hangovers.

Diary: 13, 14 & 15 April 2005 - Busy Days

It’s the day after my birthday; to my surprise there were still belated messages from people I hardly kept in touch with. Morning was fine I guess. Work was tensed and all same ol same ol. Kevin was a pain in the neck as Maxis Sports Zone was getting close to test phase. I basically couldn’t do any other work but just concentrate on his project. I had a big surprise in the evening. I got a bunch of flowers. Reception called me and said I had a package in front. I assume it was more gifts. As I head to the reception I saw the flowers I stopped in my tracks. My mouth fell open, who in the right mind would ever send me flowers. The gals in the reception was asking me who is from I picked up the card it was from Marcia. She wrote a nice message. I now had the job of taking the flowers back to my cubicle without anyone noticing. But by the time I read the card and went to my place all the girls from RnD were already hovering around me asking me who is it from. The guys in my department didn’t leave it to rest either. Intan accused me of sending the flowers to myself… oh please like I would.

As the teasing continued I wondered I was going to take this back home. Everyone was obviously jealous as no woman has ever sent a man in this office before. One girl particularly bowed to me, they never believe u if you say the person who send it to me is my best friend. Lenny sends me back to Putra, as I carried my flowers. Lenny taught it would be funny, he played an oldies song along the way. It went something like tis Dream, Dream, Dream…When I found u, blab la. My train ride needles to say was with allot of stares in my way. I really didn’t mind, I pretended I was bringing it back to the woman that I love, who was waiting for me. Yeah reading all those love novels does that to you.

The next two days was hectic with work Lenny was on leave for Tamil New Year and he wanted to visit his mum in Ipoh. As he was on leave I had to make sure the team was strong. I’m glad to say that now they don’t need too much supervision and they are independent enough to take on responsibilities and creative enough to think for themselves.

Thursday was another hectic day with Kevin as we were working out the kinks of the project. We launch the thing on Friday. Of course when you test something it never goes to plan. I left late back home late. Friday was D day there were still kinks that needed to be ironed out. By the time Maxis did the testing I was out of here. Farah Merican was relived it was over but Kevins headache kept on going as fussy Maxis had issues. I left sharp 6.30. It was Friday I wasn’t going to stay back slog for dumb Maxis. I meet up with Mel after work where we headed to 1 Utama our new found hang out spot. We went to Chilies as we were very hungry. Maggie Chueng was there with her same outfit but today she wore her glasses. We had dinner did lil window shopping. We after that began driving around for places to hang but we didn’t find anything nice. We saw Loft which looked very High class. Will go there sometime soon, with Lisa and Mel

Love Poetry

Good Day,

I have been a fan of Love Poetries from the day I really fell in love. I also am a strong believer that lyrics in music are a type of peotry. This is a song from SEARCH the malay rock group that brought you the famous Isabella. This song has been in my mind for so long that I taught I should share it. I've never read a malay poetry that struck me this good.


Rozana
Gadis Idamanku
Hanya Engkau Yang Satu
Hadir Lah Dalam Mimpi Mimpiku
Biar Seribu Biar Ramai Menganggu
Pada Ku Engkau Lah Ratu

Sejak Mula Bertemu
Kau Buat Siangku Sedingin Salju
Dan Malam Jadi Hangat
Sehangat Cintamu...
Kasihku

( Korus )
Rozana
Kau Gadis Idamanku
Dua Hati Menjadi Satu
Bila Kita Bertemu Oh Rozana

Rozana
Gadis Idamanku
Bila Kan Sampainya Waktu
Kasih Kita Bertemu Dalam Cinta
Rozana

Diary: 12 April 2005 - My Adult Birthday

*The content below will be childish and immature. If you think you are mature please go read my other entries. 10q

It was birthday today. I was born today on a Saturday 1-ish at HBKL. I am born under the star of Aries (God of Ram), under the year off the Metal Monkey sign. I had an adult birthday today. What’s an adult birthday? Well that’s when no one makes a fuss about it. Only a few people some unexpected people made my day.

My day began early in the morning with my dad wishing me; I had a bunch of sms from friends wishing me Happy Birthday like Anne, Kelvin, Marcia, etc. I got ready to work and on my way to the train station I replied a thank you message to all those you sent me a Birthday wish. I got a call at 7.30 from Shari who so kind to wish me, it was my 1st call from more to come. In the office Logen wished me Happy Birthday and took me out for breakfast. After breakfast I was surprised by Marina who baked a cake for me. She baked me a cake I couldn’t believe it, a butter cake with pineapple and cherry on top. That girl is the sweetest thing ever.

Aimee and Daryl wished me, and I was surprised that Intan called. The woman was on her leave and she took the liberty to call me and said she would take me out for lunch the next day. Mum called later to wish me as well and them my relatives. What sadden me was my own team forgot about me. Lenny practically forgot. He had the liberty to tell me my birthday was on the 14 and he said he would be in Ipoh having fun. Ass wipe… disappointed my wing man forgot

No one really bothered actually. What surprised me was the team who I just managed took more concern then my current team. I did some how think there was a surprise in store but I was dead wrong. Marcia Messenger me and we had a lil chat. What really made my day was a phone call from Birmingham, Shelly Chuah called me I was so excited. She obviously just woke up from her sleep as her voice was quite groggy. I was so happy to listen to her voice she wished me and did a lil chat. I was surprised that Caroline got me a Birthday gift Sound of Music. Although I really got it the taught that counts.

I made a fuss with Saira as she forgot it was my birthday that she felt so bad that she couriered over some chocolates. Hahaha… that woman only I can push her right buttons. I felt so bad I called her up and apologized. Saira said later she will be having an open house she invited me over. I was supposed to have dinner with Lenny but of course Lenny canceled as he had other plans. Well I shall torment him with guilt for the next couple of weeks. Hahahaha

I left office at about 7.30, I headed home I skipped dinner did my ironing and went to bed. Sharon (ex-gf) sms-ed me to wish me to my surprise. Thanked her for it, after that I just drifted to sleep.

For those who wished me again thank you very much and those who didn’t and pretended Screw U ! ! !

Diary: 10 & 11 April 2005

Sunday was the usual. I honestly wanted to skip mass again but I knew I would have to face my father, something I wasn’t really up to it. I remember going through the consequences in my head half a sleep but I knew it was bad. So I headed to St Johns to get it over and done with it. I know I know that sounds bad. But recently I really don’t have the mood to go to church. Don’t ask me why?

As usual they had the priest that would convert its Catholic worshippers to atheist. Somebody should tell the bishop to really put him out of commission. I think its about time that priest rest and enjoy life. I left after communion and headed to McD’s for breakfast. I bought The Mail along the way and had a nice peaceful breakfast with myself. They were having some kind of marathon around the town and some of them came in to McD for breakfast. I can’t wait to have my own pad where I can get up make breakfast and sit down quietly enjoy the paper. Maybe have the radio at the background.

After breakfast I headed home to find my mum and dad reading, I was surprised to see mum as she always avoided stuff like that. She said it’s a new thing she is picking up. I headed to my room to finish up my blog and to listen to Pop Shuvit which seems to be my new jam. Mum made spaghetti for lunch. I feel like a stranger now having lunch/dinner with this people after the ‘incident’ it feels so uncomfortable. After lunch, it was TV time and after that it was nap time. I woke up at 5-ish to find aunty at home chatting with my mum. I took my bath headed to KFC to treat the family. They wanted to taste the new KFC curry chicken. It was ironing time after that followed by more TV. Anybody see Apprentice in TV3. I can’t understand how 2 girls who were in the verge of having a cat fight can be so good all of a sudden. WOMEN!! !! Go figure


Monday was typical beginning with meetings from Morning to evening. Zaki as usual had his issues and last minutes request. I think my Operations VP has something against me. Ahh... I have never seen Intan this excited before as I passed her the greatest his of Search. She had her fingernails deep in my skin. Well the fun on Monday only began after six when Lenny began playing some Indian songs and slowly changing to Aerosmith. I and he were doing sing along till I did a solo on my cubicle table. The gals laughed as I serenaded them with Aerosmith. We left the office at 7.30 tired yet smiling.

Diary: 9th april 2005 Funland with Shari

I woke up at 7.30 today I woke up with eagerness and rock in my heart. I took the Pop Shuvit album and put into the CD player I selected it Track 3 and turned up the volume. The whole house was awake with the sound of Ol School Rocka. Mum woke up asking me what hell was happening. Alex was sleeping like a log, but I think he was awake I saw his leg shaking to the beat. I took a long bath and by the time I was out mum was gone and Alex was awake taking a look at the CD. My favorite song from Pop Shuvit has to be Journey as the orchestral arrangements for this rock song was wonderful it blended like peanut butter and chocolate (Oreos new flavor go and try it out).

I was given strict instruction not to leave the house till 11 as my dad said the Telecom guy would come and fix my room phone. I left 5 min to 11 and took the KTM train from the Putra station. The man manning the ticket counter was a typical government servant who was obviously stuck in a non growing job. He grunted as I bought my ticket and had to give me change. The ride cost RM1 and I gave him a 10, obviously giving me the change was going to be a big problem. He gave a big sigh and passed me my change. These people will never change. As I waited for the train the indicator said that my train to Midvalley was canceled I had no choice but to take the train to Klang. I sms-ed Shari thinking I would be late for out lunch/shopping date. She was already there waiting for me. I decided it was best If were to switch trains from KL Sentral. As I got down the train the Seremban train was on the next platform I quickly jumped on that one and I reached Midvalley ahead of schedule.

I meet Shari in MPH under the Kiddy section. We walked out of the place and I asked he if she was interested to share half a sandwich with me, I was bit hungry as I hadn’t had breakfast. She agreed and both of us headed to SFC to have iced tea and a turkey ham sandwich. We did a lil small talk sat for a while not saying a word to each other and soaking up the atmosphere around us, honestly that didn’t feel weird it was comfortable. We headed to the cinema at about 12.45 to watch Spanglish staring Adam Sandler (my fav comedian), Tea Leoni (x –files, Mulders wife) a hot Spanish lady and an Indian looking kid who was actually Mexican. How do you rate a good movie? Well one way is this, the movie began at 12.45 the next thing u know it ended at 3. I wont give too much out of the film but its not the usual Adam Sandler roles that he play… This is not a comedy this is reality/romance based movie, I don’t really think Sandler has ever carried this kind of role before. I give it 3out 5. Go see it.

After the movie I and Shari decided to get my birthday shirt. We walked around Zara and Topshop but to no avail did we find anything nice from those places, we headed to G2000 where the place was having a sale. Shari helped me pick up to shirts. I sensed she re-collected some old memories or just something just troubled her. She didn’t tell me of cause when I asked her. I got the 2 shirts that she picked for me and guessed it was best we rest our feet. I asked where she wanted to go to for a snack but as always she couldn’t decide. We ended up in Chilies as we had a Triple Play and a chocolate Sundae. It was fun there. Mel called wanting to see us, he still hasn’t gotten over the idea that me and Shari are just FRIENDS. He thinks that we are going out. Shari stayed back till Melman came. Apparently he had a good time at KLCC’s Cleo’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelor party. Sometimes I get worried with Mel and Lisa. Lisa is into gals and Mel…. hai.
Shari and I walked a bit more now searching for a tie to match my shirt we just did this to tackle the time we just wished Mel would just hurry up. Mel came eventually we headed to Starbucks I had something to drink. And Mel began investigating me and Shari. Shari was quite. We chit chatted then later I left Shari to her car and I left to the train station. At home I was bushed I took my long bathes and headed to bed.

Diary: Devious Lester & Rollecoasters

Thursday 7th April 2005
Lester played a cruel joked with us today we were supposed to have a brain storming session for the new KFC and Pizza Hut 12 month project we got recently. All HOD was in the meeting to brain storm. Lester steps us writes on the board all the new projects coming us and says we need to do a little reshuffling… my tummy went queasy when I heard that I assumed the lot of us would be reshuffled from our department. I didn’t want to move now because the team is now only coming together. Lester told me that Lenny had to step up and make sure he is control. Lenny would definitely be happy with that. I’m just worried. I will still be in charge of Content but I would just be I charge of more things. Lester Gave me the Project Manager for Xfresh promos and I was to assist Hasmida in the RTM World Youth Cup. The entire HOD left the room felt cheated and burned, Sharon said she was disappointed with me because I didn’t ask for the Yahoo project. I honestly don’t think I could have coped with it. I left office that day doubting myself if I could manage this new responsibility.….

Friday 8th April 2005
The day began great it was a Friday, everything was chilled. Odelia was 1st to come to the office she wanted if it was ok that she adopted the flexi hours but what she asked was a bit odd. I would have to talk to Hkng to get the clearance. And Hkng and I have been recently being having a go with each other so it’s not going to be easy. What spoiled my day was argument with Marina in the morning I was to QC the icons for the new Wap portal being developed. I disapproved 2 icons and she just started complaining, nagging and being a lil arguementive. Something in me just felt like a thermometer rising and I lost it. I must say being a head I should have handled it much better but sometimes the girl can just push my buttons. I tried apologies being a gal she said no. She said I broke her heart… dammmm. She threaten to leave which was a wrong move I hate to be threaten so I told her go do what is best. Girls!! ! !

I had KFC again today with the designers, Lenny and Hasmida. I was still thinking of Eina though she always reminds me of Michelle. I really felt bad. I tried to talk to her but she was in her moods. I left for my daily meetings discussed bout stuff and by the time I was done she was gone. I chatted with Odelia we talked exchanged info. She knew one of my old friend’s big ol Mack Daddy. She taught she got me on a locked down, she asked me if my thing was Hip Hop, RnB and Malay Girls. This one is definitely trouble.

Lenny sent me to Midvalley as I need to get the movie tickets for tomorrow. Stupid GSC didn’t allow me to do the online ticketing for Spanglish. I got the tickets got some CD’s for the company. I was feeling a bit naughty, I bought Pop Shuvits album and charged it to the company. Hehehehe. I took the KTM back; I called Aunt Bella and Michelle and I had a conversation with her just to catch up with times. I told her about my new responsibilities, she’s quite happy bout it and wished me all the best. I got McD’s for dinner and headed home to a disgruntled family.

Diary: 6 April 2005

It’s been a while since I’ve been agitated like this. Zaki knows how to really push my buttons. I practically screamed my head out today. Odelia looked at me when I shouted and did the HULK. Marina dressed up like a doctor today. She had a white coat on top her baju Melayu. We all teased her as a doctor. Kevin was a fly the entire time asking me all kinds of question and just lingering by my cubicle. Its blady annoying for someone to look over your shoulder when you’re doing your work. He just doesn’t know how to give him space. I couldn’t tell him to bugger off because that wouldn’t be polite and I’ve been treating him like an ass the whole day and I shouldn’t push it

I think Marina is trying to hook me up with Odelia. She asked me why I didn’t take Odelia out for lunch; I already had prior engagements with Intan who was buying me lunch. It was such predicament, Odelia looked at me waiting for the invitation I couldn’t give. I had to lie to the lot of them saying I was out settling bills when I was actually in TTDI Pizza Hut having Island Supreme with Intan and Aimee. I guess I will just have to plan for lunch with Odelia on Thursday as Marina has put me in a predicament. I shall bring marina with me as she is the culprit of it all.


Have you taught that you were over someone but you actually not? (No not talking bout Sharon). Well yesterday I was felt sad about one of my past. Obviously she is very happy in live and all. Hey what am I talking here…? Rubbish!! ! !

Diary: 4 & 5 April 2005 - Curry Chicken yum yum

Monday was typical it began with meetings as usual. When it came to my turn I dished out all my issues. Zaki apparently was edgy for some reason kept on lashing out. I was calm as ever. Lester has to break it down for him one by one for everything we said. I and Ecng made fun of his ‘blurness’. It’s obvious that he is under a lot of pressure, but hey who isn’t? After the meeting Kevin bugged me about The Maxis Wap Portal and how its essential its up by Wednesdays Testing. There was a lot of problems to begin week as Zaki’s team was lack of experience and was so fickle minded on what was wanted.

Lester made an issue of we didn’t have a meeting on Monday and how essential that it was. We actually had a pre-meeting because he was using the conference room. So he came up asked us if we were having a meeting or not. We said no, and he went away looking disappointed. I and Hasmida looked at each other and we knew that it was going to be trouble but we didn’t care none the less. Feeling guilty about it I SMS-ed Lester as I reached home telling him what we had done. He replied back with just an ok.

Next morning I get an email from him telling us the importance of having a meeting and what not. That practically threw off my mood for the whole blady day. When Hasmida came in I told her about the email and both of us agreed that beginning the very day we would conduct a meeting independently at 3 and not wait for him. On my back there was also Kevin rushing for the new Maxis Sports Portal to be launched. I got most of it done but again there are still some glitches.

I went vegetarian again on Monday looking at the dishes just made feel that I was much better sticking to vegetables. Tuesday on the other hand was a different story, Lenny had to run some errand in Bangsar so the lot of us followed him as after that we headed to KFC at Jalan University for some Curry Chicken. I think they finnaly got the recipe right this time. The chicken is definately crunchy, less oily and taste good. I was famished as I skipped breakfast so I had a 3 piecer and my cumpulsory cheesy wedges. Yum Yum. All you out day go try it.

I left the office early for the past two days. I could see the sun set. Its been a while since I could see it. On the 1st day I stopped by McD to get a small Chicken Burger. The second day I just decided not to take dinner and fall asleep. Mum cook wonderful dishes for 2 days luncheon meat curry and my favorite fish dish (the only). I think she is trying to tempt me but I will stand strong on my 2 feet and not have any of it. Its definitely hard. Wh8y do I have so much dram in my life? Maybe I like it....

Diary: 3 April 2005 - Lazy Day

Pope Died. Slept. Skipped Mass. Woke for Lunch. Slept Again. Woke up iron clothees, et cetera, et cetara. Slept Again....

Diary: 2 April 2005 Mel is a Rollercoaster

I woke up around 9-ish. Alex was awake doing some packing of some sort. I asked him to take my bag and showed him the list of stuff I was going to get at Sg Wang, I asked him if he wanted me to add anything else to the list. He added some good stuff to the collection list. I got up took a nice hot shower. I dressed up in something very casual (3/4 pants and a short sleeve shirt). I watched some cartoons made some MILO and Alex and I left home at about 10. We meet one of Alex’s girl friend in the train station. She was such a sweet thing, at the beginning I felt a vibe that she had a thing for Alex as I probed Alex later the next day I was right. They boy just likes to play hardball.

I stopped at the Titiwangsa station and took the monorail to Sg Wang. I obviously too early as most of the shops were still not open yet, I walked over to Lot 10 Isetan to look at the men clothes. I was pondering weather I should get new shirts for my Birthday. As I walked in Isetan the 1st thing I saw was the Star Wars Light Saber. Immediately I knew I must have that for my birthday. It was on the pricy side for a toy (RM135). I saw that there were 3 types, on that came in green color (yoda’s), one in blue (Good guys one) and another that switched from Blue to red (Anakin Sykwalkers). There was no test sabers so I moved along. I saw some nice Padini office shirts which I contemplated buying but decided not to.

I went back to Sg Wang hoping the place was fully operational. It was, I headed 1st to my favorite DVD place, to my surprise the place was bear and empty. I met with the owner and he told me that today they would be an ‘operasi’ so they weren’t putting any of the pirated items out. Feeling bit disappointed I headed to the Cd place, there too I would find disappointment as the had a shop full of bank cd covers. The man told me the same thing that an ‘operasi’ was to take place and advise me to come tomorrow. Thinking that I practically wasted my time, I headed to KLCC to do my banking and payments. I paid my credit cards, hand phone bills, got my toiletries, et cetera, et cetera. By the time I was done it was already lunch time I assumed Melman would call by now but he didn’t so I decide to have lunch. Of all places I head to Chillis where I was greeted by a hostess I knew. It was Sharon, dressed up smartly, she look beautiful. She showed me to my seat. I ordered my meal.

We did some small talk; she asked me how everyone like Mel and Shari was. She looked at me suspiciously when she asked me about Shari. This has Mel’s doing written on it. I received a phone call from Mel asking him to meet me at Sg Wang at 2.30. I finished my meal said my goodbyes with Sharon and headed to Sg Wang. Everyone assume if your wearing shorts and carrying a backpack your automatically a tourist. The taxi driver made some small talk with me. I again had to tell him I lived with Harry Potter.

I was early so I headed to HSBC to finish my last of my errands. Mel was early and he called me we meet in DOME Lot 10. Lisa was there too, Nick and Kunju came along for lunch. Since I had lunch, I had a glass of white wine while they had their meal. After lunch we walked around Sg Wang lil till Mel decided we should head to 1 utama for a movie I agreed. We headed there, we watched Be Cool. A good garbage movie. My judgment it’s a VCD movie not something you should spent on the cinema. It was daring for The Rock to play the role he plays.

After dinner we headed to Chilies where were greeted by a young version of Maggie Cheung. I complimented her and then she was too shy to come over to our table again but she was forced to get me more fajitas as mine finished quickly. We ordered the awesome blossom where we had troubled finishing up. It was a huge seasonal onion that was fried in batter and served with a special sauce. It’s excellent but u needs a big bunch to finish. After dinner we headed home. Mel borrowed my SEPET. He needs to open his eyes.

Diary: 1st April 2005 -Whos The Fool

Friday was as usual the relaxing day. Lester didn’t show up at all so there was a less tension in the department. We had the final figures for the month and I surpassed it with couple thousands. Next month will definitely be a steep hill for us. Odelia our new graphic designer came in to work today. Honestly, she is very, very hot. Marina thinks that I am just being nice to her because she is hot. That girl just needs to understand that I’m only looking out for her well being. Marina always reminds me of Michelle my favorite niece.

It was a typical Friday everyone was crazy including me. Hasmida bought us lunch. We had Canadian pizza, buy one free one promotion. I was finishing my campaign and done with it. Exactly after 6 o’clock the craziness increased 2 folds. I and Lenny began throwing ball among each other. What began as a normal ball throwing ended with me pinning Wai to the wall. How that happen nobody knows it was event after the other. The lot of us was having fun. Poor Intan was under the weather she was sick like a frail bird.

After work I took the team out for dinner as we meet our target. We headed to Chillis and we ordered our meal. Lenny had a bowl of mushroom soup with his favorite chicken play, Nizam had country fried chicken, Caroline had chicken mushroom fajitas and I had a grilled lamb dish. It was excellent. We drank and joked about everything. By the time we left Caroline left feeling perky and loud. Hahaha…

I headed home for tomorrow to come.....

Diary: What Day is it Today?

I blogging to you with groggy eyes, yesterdays late night futsal has brought me to this state. Yesterdayour futsal team took on Motivator on a friendly match, where our team came up victorious. The final score was 15-9. I played team Manager arranging proper substitutes and tactics. It was like playing EA Championship Manager live. I always had the gift or organizing and strategically planning. I was never a physical sport person.

The gals were doing their recording in Chinese today. They were making the short SMS notifications for our next SMS campaign. Lenny did his ones yesterday; I lend my voice for some harsh script as he thinks I can pull it off. It was funny as I kid around that my Tamil is actually very ‘pelat’. I did it sounded funny and stuck to it. Let’s see if it can sell… hahaha

I made one of my designers cry today, she just came back from 2 days mc. She made a big mistake in one of my adverts which obviously cost me. Being in a pissed off mood (Zaki and Sharon fault) I took it on her. Sometimes people can be so complacent, they need to be given a shake down to re-access their work place. Good example, I threaten to fire the composer if they didn’t perform well. Automatically I get A class work. I and Lenny screw the designers to come up with better adverts and bam !! I get really creative work. Sometimes some one has to shake you down, put you in perspective. Who’s gonna do that to me….

Besides only handling my own campaign I’m also assisting two major projects (content wise) handled by Zaki and Sharon. Zaki is blurr as hell, he never knows want he really wants and there is always last minute shit with him. Sharon on the other hand is such a fickle minded person can’t make up her mind if she wants a or b. Both of this people have been making me go back and forth doing the same thing for the past week.

Breakfast with the guys has been fun. We been joking around and talking football. I’m now much more knowledge in the arena of football. Ah Wai took me out for lunch the day before yesterday. I went with the gals to this place called Village cafĂ©. It was on the pricy side, you would assume that the portions would be either big or moderate but only the bowls and plate were big the dishes were all small. We headed to the DVD stall next do a little look see. I wanted to see if there were any titles I should take in mind when I head to Sg Wang tis Saturday. There was nothing interesting… I’ll be treating the team for dinner this Friday for reaching their target.

Sad Day in My Book....
