Diary: 9 & 10 January 2004
Sunday was typical one for me I woke up late and watched loads of cartoons. Mum cooked a fusion meal (Daging Masak Merah with fries), we later had ice-cream for desert. I spent most of my time watching TV and took a short nap later in the afternoon. I know by now you must say he is such a pig... well I'll have to agree to that. When evening came I took my shower and started preparing for work. I ironed 2 sets of shirts and pants as I was just too lazy to iron every single day. I watched Smallville and Apprentice which both were marvelous in both ways. The Apprentice for the second season seems to be much tougher in task but the participant seems to be very cocky and overly confident.
Monday went me by with a breeze. I had so many meetings that it just flew me by. Shelly was in Phileo as well, she has put on a couple more pounds. She says she has eaten well when she was in abroad, but its nice to see her. She tells me that KLCC office is so dead without us, but hey nothing I can do in it. I left office sharp 6 as most of my stuff have already been completed. Tommorow I have a meeting with my team and my GM wants to join in the meeting. Oh boy its gonna be hell....

I'm planning some changes in my department. The big kick off meeting is next Tuesday.

I headed to sentul to get it done once completed I called my old mate Kohilan and see if he wantd to have a chat to my surprise he was just close by. We sat down at a chinese shop and began to talk.

Diary: 6 January 2004
The leader of A-Tam (The Guy with a cigar in the mouth) always s ays "I like it when a plan comes together", I too have stuck to that line but yesterday it didnt, all my plans went array. There was a big cover where my team failed to do something important being done and one of my team player sold us out. The frustration of it was so great I just wanted to kill someone. Me and Lenny felt it so bad because we failed, my GM was hurt because we lied to him. I couldnt have that guilty feeling, as I write this too the guilt is bears heavy in me. Lenny left me, Kelly, Eina and Khai at Bangsar LRT station. I need to compensate the guy for leaving me at the Bangsar station most of the time. Back home I just wanted go to bed, so I did.
Did anyone catch Ed on tv last wednesday, that was the hottest moment to see Caroll Vessy and Ed Stevens finally get together in a room alone most probaly gonna do it when all of a sudden there is a knock on the door (so cliche) when the door is open its Bonnie Hane in front. AArrgghghhhhh.... thats what I said when the show ended.

Diary: 4 & 5 January 2005
It my last day at KLCC so I decide to come in early to get one last feel of it. I waled past the centre court top office, I see they have already taken out the Christmas Tree... How appropriate. In my office I sit down at and soak in the atmosphere of the office and do lil paper work. One by one people begin to walk into the office Winnie, Caroline, Saira, etc. Most of out things are all packed execpt my designers who still have to do some last minute packing. Caroline, Winnie and myself headed to Wisma central to have breakfast. We headed back to office at about 9 where we notice eberyone was already in the office. Everyone was busy packing or just plainly getting ready. MR Hkng was kind enough to lend a hand by helping put some of the boxes in his car. Jaya took some CPU and Monitors. Lenny did most of the work arrangements. Once in Phileo we unpacked our stuff. We unpacked our stuff with allot of commotion which creates a stir with the RnD team, they are not actually ver keen with noisy people but too bad we are a noisy lot. I took the team out for lunch and we practically did nothing cause the connection for Internet and Production server was not up so we just sat doing our own thing. We had a short meeting with Lester on things that we wanted to do for the month of January, Sharon Yeoh too joined as she will be over seeing Hong Kong soon. By 6 everyone left the office but I had to step into HKng office for a pep talk on how to manage my team after that I was outta there. Lenmny dropped me at Bangsar station and I was off home.
The next day I woke up tremendously early to come to office I took the bus which was quite frequent. I was in the office by 6.30. I already had internet access so i did my uploading of new Java Games. The day went of like normal, Lester and Sharon came for meeting at about 4 pm for our daily meetings. The gang had lunch at Seimens towers food court, we were surprised to see that the placed was quite empty compared to how it used to be. It was currently under a new management so I dont people like it. We told the gals we will visit a new place every single day. I guess everyone now is settling down.

Diary: 3 January 2005
I woke up at 6 today, God knows why so I slept back for another half an hour. I was first in the office as usual I took a look around the place was just the way I left it, I'll be shifting over soon maybe tomorrow. I wanted to begin work but I forgot my job scope what did I actually do? I did my Production List for the week and after that I nothing much to do I was reading magazines at about 10.30 I left to Phileo office for a meeting and a tour of my new office. It was quite good actually no KLCC but very office like my GM was still bit pissed but to me its water under the bridge but we still were very friend like.
I have my whole dept in a segment kind of cool with a big ass TV at the back of me. So like that say we just have to bite the bullet and face head on. After lunch I just sat and was doing a lil paperwork. I left at 6 to pay my bills. Back home it was just the 3 bros, my parents were out for a company dinner. We were watching the Malaysian Game where a typical Malaysia player had the built up but couldn't keep the form to the very end. Damm its like having sex ur have premature ejaculation....

Diary: 2 January 2005
The last days of my holiday in several hours time I will be off to work like normal folk. Sometime I just was rich and could just not work.We left to my aunts house at about 11 with a quick stop at KFC as we bought our own lunch to her place (Dont Ask). I bought some cheesy wedges so I could munch along the way. When came there we waited for 5 minutes at the front gate as my Aunt forgot where she kept the keys. Once she found the keys we were welcomed by our long lost drunken Uncle who appeared recently, must be dying so he wants to be close to us. Its always like that in it. He was all high with the stench of cheap liqueur. I practically had no clue what he was speaking about nor what he spoke made sense. He was talking about his Omega watch which at the begging I taught was costly but apparently it only cost him RM10. Lunch was served and I gobbled my food down so I could leave ASAP. Matilda and Prakash came with her kids for lunch more false fronts had to be put. We sat for awhile and by 2 we were out of there.
We reached home by 3, my body was already indicating it was time for my afternoon nap. I decided to resist as I would definitely face difficulty tomorrow when I go back to work. Mel called me out for tea which I quickly agreed to, Nick said he would pick me up at 4. We headed to Sg Wang where we had early dinner at Seed, we sat and talked. Mel and Lisa gave me a gift for Xmas. Mel game me miniature Wine bottles and Lisa gave me something naughty. At seed i discovered a new Sandwich which was quite good, its called chicken pita Sandwich with wasabi mayonnaise on the side. Food lovers mus try that and its diet conscience as well. After early lunch we did a bit browsing around Sg Wang we headed to the DVD shops where they were doing a sale 3 DVD's for RM1. Lisa got second season of Smallville, where i got a few other names like Sponge Bob Square pants, Mr 3000, etc. I wanted to get the Godfather box set but he told me to wait as currently its not clear copy. We left at about 9 and I reached home by 9.30 too tired to move a muscle.

Diary: Ushering The New year
It’s the eve of the new year and to me it just seem like another weekend at home. My brain is so not ready for work. I sit at home and watch my VCD in my brand new DVD player. I watched Mickey Blue Eyes staring Hugh Grant and some gal quite good. I like is way of acting kind of convincing with his quirky realistic jokes. I also caught a classic movie The Matrix. I was just to lazy to do anything else Mum cooked sardine as we decided that for diner all buy back from the Night Market. I decided to skip lunch and too another short nap at 3, I set my alarm at 5 but I woe up earlier. I took my bath and shaved for the night of booze and friendship. I called Lenny to see here they had seconded us apparently now is Phileo.
I was 1st to reached Thai club at 8.05, our table was set somewhere back near the pool table where Nick was so kind to change near the entrance of it. As I waited Nick was kind enough to accompany me. Mel came at about 9, Nick was also kind enough to order us dinner Tuna Turkey pizza and sate. As we ate Neeraj came to say Hi and was kind enough to play us Ludacris – Move Bitch which we sang our hearts out. There wasn’t much of a crowd at the beginning. I got a bottle of Sambucca so that everyone can do flaming shots. I ended up lighting 5 by myself… Marcia I can light it by myself now… yippee
Over the course of the event I did feel bit lonely as most of them did come in couple… I’ve told myself I’m over and done with this couple thing but once is still human. Nick was at our table when the clock turned 00:00. I hugged him and wished him a Happy new year. I hugged Mel too… As the party began in Thai Club I walked outside to see how the streets were celebrating. People were covered if fake snow and streamers as they sprayed from their aerosol cans. There goes our ozone layer… there should be a tear directly above them as they played it from 12 – 2. All the cars that passed by was sprayed with snow and streamers except for Police Cars of course. Policemen on the streets weren’t covered with any fake snow and streamers they were dodge quite well.
I began to become bored at the crowd suddenly grew from time to time. I, Mel and Lisa left Thai club before the clock reached 2. Luck was on our side as after we left Thai club was raided and they brought in K9 Dogs. After Thai club we headed to Jalan Ipoh dim sum and we had a light snack. They were lot of people after party like us as well enjoying their late night supper. After dim sum Mel sent me home and we made plans to meet on Sunday.
At home I took a long hot shower and headed straight to bed. I sat my alarm twice at 7 and 8. I was so in a verge to cut mass but I decided I didn’t want to get scolding on the 1st day of the year (Indian Superstition) so I went to church, everyone was still in bed sleeping. I wasn’t really paying attention during sermon, Father was taking about Virgin Mary’s pregnancy issue when my mind surprisingly drifted to Smallville. I could stop imagining watching Chloe’s face at the prom, you could see that she was so happy being beside Clark Kent. Chloe had such a nice smile very honest. My mind wondered further If Clark Kent had adventures while staying in Smallville using his powers what about Jesus. He had powers too, wonder why nobody is doing a series on that. Jesus at his teen years, wonder he had the hots with anyone?
After mass I shook hand with the priest and once outside church I met Anne and Jerome I wished the Happy New year and I headed back home. On the way I called Peggy to wish her a Happy new year she wished me all the best in 2005. She asked me when I would come over but I couldn’t reply as I knew that work will take the best of me now. Back at home mum was at kitchen washing up stuff, he turns around and tell me “Mark u went to church ah, u know if you didn’t want to go its ok but u must go tis evening as it is an obligation”… God tis people cant make up their mind. I sat and watched TV, Many of the relatives called to wish us Happy New Year. At 2 I went to sleep and woke up at 5 so I could go to church :P. After church we headed to Jalan Ipoh dim sum again as now my family wanted enjoy it.

Missing Days Part II Finale
27 December the day to me Christmas ends. Boredom has struck me as being cooped up in my grand mum’s house all day with no where to go. I’m currently having a bad flu which I think is due to the air in Klang. I honestly can’t stay at a place more than 3 days I begin to sneeze as If I’m allergic to something. I notice Aunt B is bit agitated with something. All I do at my grand mums place is eat and sleep… which is such a good way to live. My mum decides to plan a trip to Putrajaya which everyone agree except me, Alex and Aunt B. All of them leave to the do a lil site seeing. I stayed back cause I was awake the whole night tossing and turning I got a rock for a pillow. I wake up my allergy seems to clear up a bit; Alex went to Mamak stall to lepak and makan mee goreng by himself. Aunt B went back for some ‘alone time’. Everyone came back by 7.30 to grand mums place for dinner. We were watching the 70’ show when my mother asker a question to Aunt B why she didn’t bring some change clothes for Mitchell and Aunt B just snapped at my mum. I commend my mum’s reply back as she treated her like a rebellious child. I guess Aunt B has unresolved issues still pent up in her. Everyone kept quite and pretended like nothing happen. That night I was distant to everyone, something deep down in me was troubling. I sensed something was wrong but I couldn’t put my finger what.
I woke up again with back aches and restless night of sleep. I long for my bed back home my quilt I sleep. My allergies came back again Aunt Irene suggest I get some allergy pills but she said I might be dozy after taking it... Yeah that what I need sleeping 247 because of my allergies. I noticed no one was at home except for us and Uncle David. Apparently Dad went to work Aunt Irene took my grand mum to her monthly check up. Mum was busy in the kitchen preparing lunch. I was kind of restless and I asked mum if I could go over to Aunt B house and bring Mitchell over here to hag with us. Mum said we were forbidden to go there as Aunt B wanted her privacy and wanted Mitchell to be on her own. I don’t know what this people were thinking but apparently they said I was too close to her and I need to back off. What I don’t understand I always taught Mitch as my lil ol sister. Now I have to put restraints on myself a not come close to her at all, which I find ridiculous. So when ever Mitch is around me I move away.
Mum keeps an eye on me to make sure. I’ve told her how I feel but I can’t remember what her lame excuse was. To make everyone happy I just have to move away. On that day I’ve also made up my mind not to contact Aunt B who so insist on her privacy. My allergies became worse in the afternoon. I just couldn’t stand being cooped anymore I made my mum drive me to Tesco. Everybody wanted to follow I couldn’t be bothered as long I was connected to some kind of civilization. In Tesco I and Uncle David broke away from the crowd and we wet he separate ways we were talking about guys stuff electronic stuff etc. We met at the junk food section where I got myself some marshmallows kin of hard though. My aunts wanted to go to Hot Market some kind of girlie shop I headed to DQ where I had a Blizzard and rested and watched the gals of Klang come in to Tesco. They were so attractive that I decided to sms Shari who was nearby. Alex soon joined me as he took another cup of Blizzard. Back home everything was on the down low. Tomorrow my Aunt and Uncle Leaves back to London. We had a nice meal together as a family we went to a near hawker centre nearby and bought some Char Keuy Tiau, Kelvin bought some rojak and some Ipoh Kai fan. We slept early that night as we had to wake up early.
Surprisingly I woke up sharp 6 well I still can count on my body to wake up when I need too. Aunt Irene and Uncle David was up I said my good morning and got ready, Alex the sleepy head was up to only one left behind was Andrew I woke him up and he got ready. Aunt B was here at sharp 7; Uncle Tony over slept and only arrived at 7.30. We left then. I taught of that Armageddon song no not the Aerosmith one that goes “My bags are packed and am I’m waiting to go…. Something, something jet plane’ I hate goodbye always makes me cry. We sat in our cars and we left to the airport. Uncle Tony left Uncle David and Aunty Irene at the airport we all found them at the entrance. I helped them check in their baggage which was definitely over weight. We checked in and waited for them to board. Michelle was playing with the automatic door he would wait for it close then run so the door would open back. At about 10.30 they left to catch their train not before sending us in the elevator. I hate goodbyes….
I rested my eyes along the journey back home; I slept along they away I found myself waking up in Brickfields. Mum and Dad decided to have breakfast at a local mamak stall. I had my hot cup of Milo and a roti canai. Once back home I unpacked my stuff the bed was so tempting. I felt her with my hands and I just wanted to jump on her and let her have her ways with me but I said better not. Alex put some soul music and we were back to our normal routine self

Diary: 30 December 2004
Before I continue part 2 of the missing days permit me to write on certain matter that is troubling me…. Yesterday night I read a blog of my friend who projected me as a bitter person. The whole night I couldn’t sleep, I’m starting to think I actually am. I liked to help myself but I really don’t know how. I just want to disconnect from the world. Work go back home and just be myself a lonely soul. I know that’s sound depressing and pathetic but for now this is what I really want. Maybe go out once awhile with really close friends for lunch or dinner. I just want to be left alone…
My office has just called me up and told me some disturbing news about my shifting office. Apparently they want to ship out my department off tomorrow. The eve of New Year how depressing you know how appreciated you are? What makes it worse from the original plan of moving us to Pantai office now they intend to move us to Phileo office. 2 of my designers will resign as they will have transport issues. Hey I with no car too have to take the bus… this call for a down payment to a car. I hear it coming.
My GM wasn’t too happy when I asked him why my dept is being thrown around and told me that he has no need to tell me. Hey the man is right who am I to ask him, he must have his own ball game to play. Man is my hero and I will always have his back when he needs me.
I went to watch the Kung Fu Hustle to day with Shari… She has the Catherine Zeta Jones hair style from Oceans Twelve. Dam she looked sexy, man if only I was her bf I would (CENSORED by author). After the movie we walked out and we saw Sharon outside Chilies. God that gal works there and she still ones to hang out there after working hours??? Shari dint want to approach her as I dragged her near to her but I think she saw us as we made way down the escalator. We didn’t have lunch so we headed to SFC for a lite snack. After the snack I walked her o the car park said our farewell and I made plans to meet Lenny in front of Tower 2 to discuss the issue at hand. Nothing much we could do end of the day its all in the hands of my managers
I took a taxi ride home pondering things in my head these two things going on and on and on…. I reached home watched Space Jam and took a nice long hot shower.
My office has just called me up and told me some disturbing news about my shifting office. Apparently they want to ship out my department off tomorrow. The eve of New Year how depressing you know how appreciated you are? What makes it worse from the original plan of moving us to Pantai office now they intend to move us to Phileo office. 2 of my designers will resign as they will have transport issues. Hey I with no car too have to take the bus… this call for a down payment to a car. I hear it coming.
My GM wasn’t too happy when I asked him why my dept is being thrown around and told me that he has no need to tell me. Hey the man is right who am I to ask him, he must have his own ball game to play. Man is my hero and I will always have his back when he needs me.
I went to watch the Kung Fu Hustle to day with Shari… She has the Catherine Zeta Jones hair style from Oceans Twelve. Dam she looked sexy, man if only I was her bf I would (CENSORED by author).

Missing Days Part 1
Its Christmas Eve and I intend to have my sleep. I wake up at 11a.m. I see my mum and dad is at home so I just walk pass them feeling sleepy. I sat in front of the TV watching Oprah. I had a very light lunch and was getting ready for Christmas Eve Midnight mass, I iron my shirt and my pants. I took a short nap again at 3 I know now u must be thinking he is such a lazy ass, well I actually am during holidays especially. I woke up at 6 and took a nice long hot shower. I shaved myself clean and had another light dinner and by 9-ish we were getting ready to go for mass. Kelvin to my surprise was at my house wanting to attend mass with me. I was so curious why he wanted to do so. He sat all through mass with me and my family. I am still curious on what made him come here for mass.
Mass was short and sweet it ended sharp 1 a.m. I’ve been in my church for mot of my life, I had my communion and my confirmation there but I can’t help feeling like an outsider these days when I go to St Josephs. There are no more faces I recognize anymore, nobody I know. After mass I only met Amit who was at the gates of the church smoking his cigarette, I wished him Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I left back home, Lenny called me along the way to wish me. Back home mum handed her presents out and I got a nice organizer for work, will definitely do me good once I get back to the office. Mum cut some fruit cake and we opened a bottle of wine, and everyone went to bed but stayed back to watch some late night TV.
Christmas morning, I woke up at 8 a.m. my bags were packed and I was ready to go but my parents were lagging behind, packing their stuff and checking their list twice. Lucky me I had all my presents sent ahead to grand mum’s place. The car booth was full of our 5 day stay over in Klang. We left home at 10.45 and we reached by 11.15 by then everyone was already there. Aunty Pat was in the kitchen cooking some sambal prawns. I and Aunty B went to a restaurant to collect some catered food. We ordered some chicken curry and fish cutlets. Kelvin came bringing the mutton paratal. Aunt Irene bought some Paul Mason wine.
Everyone sat down for lunch we had our meal and all. After lunch it was time to open presents… yippee By the way the tree was swamped with presents from all of us from my grandma to lil ol me. Imagine a 4 feet tree with the showdown covered by presents of another 4 feet. My grand mum began she with her family gifts and ang pow, then it was Prema, Aunt B, Annie, Kelvin, myself then Aunt Irene. I must say I got cash 2 types of perfume (CK Eternity and CDior) a funky cufflink that said ‘No Guts, No Glory’, a short sleeve shirt. Mitchell got me a pen holder which I don’t now where I’m going to put it. As we opened our presents I saw the joy in the faces of my family all happy with their gifts. Aunt Irene loved the jewelry box I gave her and Uncle David loved the architecture book I got him on Twin Towers.
We sat and we talked on all kind of stuff, while Aunt Irene spoke of how times used to be when they were growing up. It was soon tea time and Aunt Irene bought some Christmas pudding and some Caribbean cakes, both very delicious. The Caribbean cakes had some Rum in it so I was practically liquored the whole evening beginning from lunch to dinner with wine and rum cake... Hehehe
At night everyone left home except us and Aunt B as we had dinner and we continued drinking. My Dad made fuss on how important it was for us to go to church as it was compulsory as theoretically Christmas Eve mass dint count so I must honestly say everyone was pissed with my dad. He just can’t keep his mouth shut. I rebelled not wanting to go but of course I lost. We had to keep the celebration short as we needed to go to church early morning at Port Klang.
Me, Alex and Andrew slept at the hall while mum and dad too the spare room. It was so uncomfortable sleeping on the floor and you’re not comfortable with the pillows. I kept waking up every hour or so my back ache got worse that night. My dad woke us up at 6 to get ready for mass. I could see everyone else was awake I could have said no but I went along instead. Aunt B came by 6.30 and we were off to church by then. The mass was such a boring mass, the priest AV Michael was like not bothered like he had some more else better to be. He didn’t give a sermon he got some one to read the Herald (Catholic Newspaper) articles. I honestly felt a very slight tremor at the beginning of mass. I taught I was just woozy myself then Aunt B said she felt it as well. Mass was over by 8.30 not knowing what has happened in the world. We got breakfast in the market and headed home.
Back home Uncle David told us that Indonesia had an earthquake which created a tidal wave and hit Penang. At this point we had no idea how bad this had affected the whole South East Asia. My Aunt (other one) from UK called to check if we were all right. Penang and KL was such a far place but the news in UK said it as if the whole Malaysia was hit badly. As we watched the news on the TV we saw how bad the Tsunami hit the whole of SEA. My heart really goes out to the Sri Lankan’s I want to help them but I honestly don’t know how. Death came to them swiftly and I keep telling myself that life is so easy to lose it just could be around the corner. The Penang-nites who lost their life were actually out having fun with their friends or family.
The Tsunami was a hot conversation topic at the Windmill Restaurant where Aunt Irene and Uncle David took us out fro Boxing Day lunch. We discussed about the how high the waves were and the lives that were lost. Again my mind played on those innocent souls that were lost during that day. Mum always said that Death never comes with an invitation it just comes and leaves. You know what hurts about the Sri Lankan thing that hurts me is tat the building structure of where they stayed was nothing compared to what we had. They had no chance whatsoever.
After lunch we headed to grand mum place, I took a short nap as I didn’t really get proper sleep. I woke up all sweaty, Klang weather does that to you its so humid. I noticed that it was only me and my grand mum at home. Apparently the whole gang went to Tesco to get some groceries. It sat down and enjoyed some left over Caribbean cake. I took a nice shower and was in my robe bad choice as the weather was humid. Sharp 7 all eyes and ears were attentive to the TV to listen the follow up of the Tsunami Hit. It made me think that every year end it always have to end with a bang. Either it is factory burn or something else but we always have to end with something… That night we played Cluedo and Rumicub with Kelvin, Mitch, Andrew and Alex. Cluedo was quite fun but not that interesting I think. We played late till night.

Diary: 23 December 2004
My day began at 8am; I took my bath and was out the door by 8.30am. I brought along my book as company along my short journey. I have been neglecting it as I was ferrying my Uncle and Aunt these while. I sat in the Putra station and let 3-4 trains pass me by because I knew I was quite early and I had lots of time to spare. When I was about to board my train I met Kelly who was on her way to work, we talked about Jennifer who had some immigration issues that she and her new husband had to settle.
I was quite early, I met Ivan at SFC he was quite happy to see, I got a small hot chocolate with marshmallows in it. I read my book while I waited for PST and Anne to come along. PST came first looking like a gypsy, her hair tied back with nice Thai earrings. We waited for Anne but as usual she was running late, she was stuck in traffic, me and PST talked about work and her holiday plans. She looks quite eager to head to PD her mum has the Christmas Spirit…. Alleluia! ! !
Anne I think came at about 10.30 she was lost for breathe and needed to take a rest. Oh yeah while waiting for Anne me and PST decided to have breakfast early. PST had hot choc with a cinnamon roll where else I had my Caramel Cap with a nice toasted chicken mayo sandwich; when Anne came she had a Latte and the same sandwich as me. The 3 of us sat down of the happenings how many of our friends are getting married, we bitched about Farther Soosay my arch enemy. It was nice fun talking with them. We left SFC as we saw a big crowd upstairs after investigating we saw it was a bunch of Miss Tourism Pageant outside Bonia and an old china man giving out a speech. We left our separate ways of at about 12.30p.m. I left to get my films developed to print the lady said I had to wait for an hour for it so I wondered KLCC aimlessly for an hour.
I picked up my photos and headed to Sg Wang. I took a cab the driver assumed that I was a foreigner and was very friendly with me. Since I was bored I played with him, he wanted to know where I was from so I said I was from UK he wanted to know more which part so I gave him Harry Potters address ad then he kept on going on about Malaysia how we celebrate Christmas and New Year. Nice man who was driving cabs for the past 7 years.
I headed to Sg Wang to get some extra CD’s for my Uncle and I got 2 DVDs for myself, Soul Plane and Mr. Incredible. I bought McD’s for lunch and I headed home. Back home mum was having a cat nap. I crept to the room changed had my McD and saw one of my DVD. I had a short nap and woke up in time for dinner. I plan to watch TV late.

I looked at my tickets and I bought Oceans 12 and Polar Express. My 1st movie was Oceans 12 I watched it and then I skipped theaters to watch Polar Express. The Polar Express was a good Christmas movie, all the essence of Christmas. I headed back to office to collect my Christmas gift. I didn’t want to be there long because works will definitely haut me. To my surprise allot of people was still in the office. I made a quick dash to my cubicle took my special present from Thailand and said some quick Hi’s and Bye to my staff.

Tuesday – The one with the DVD player
Aunt Irene wanted to sleep in so when we woke up we were quite as a mouse. We were watching the re-runs on the TV when they woke up all dress ready to go. Boy was I surprised to see them all geared up. The only had to brush their teeth. They made breakfast while I changed. By 11 we left to Pertama, as my Aunt wanted to show for shoes. I went to Sogo and saw some DVD players on sale. I saw a Pioneer set for sale a new model with plays practically every type of codec. I decided not to get it because I just didn’t want to drag it around me.
We headed to Pertama so Aunt Irene could do some shoe shopping, me and Uncle David wondered Pertama complex and I must say its kind of a dingy place. My Uncles keen eye saw a Pioneer shop. We entered it and we found the same model which I was interested in. The player I saw was priced the same, the owner came up to me and spoke to me he was willing to bring down the price and he told me this set came with a 3 year warranty. He would also give me a RM10 BSN money voucher. I was quite interested but I said I would come back later after doing shopping.
Uncle David and Aunt Irene wanted to go to the Ship Restaurant. I keep telling them is so cheesy to go there but I honestly must say the food is quite good both in Pertama and Sg Wang. The restaurant staff was all Bangladeshis and the ‘Captain’ looked like he had a bad hangover from last night. Uncle David had a grilled steak where I had Mixed Grill; Aunt Irene had baked fish with a side dish of chips. After lunch we headed to Petaling Street to get a rucksack.
For those who know me I’ve currently developed a fake bad accent which I find it hard to take myself out. So when you go to Petaling Street you definitely need your street lingo and slang. I knew the lingo but the slang was a bit off. We went to the 1st show where the man wasn’t to keen to sell his stuff so we said to hell to him we went down the street and we found a nice over make-ed up lady who gave us some nike bags for only RM35 we took 3 of them. My Uncle said it was best to get the DVD player for myself, strike while the iron is hot. We went back to Pertama and I got the DVD player and we went back home.
Once home Uncle David and Aunt Irene got ready to go back to Klang as they where else me Alex was fiddling on my new DVD player. They left at about four; Uncle David was kind enough to lend me his Gone for 60 seconds to test on my new DVD player. I watched it and then my mum came in. I took a long bath and I headed to my room, I wanted to update my blog so I sat in front of the my PC typing all my days events. My apologies to ya’ll for those coming in and finding it not updated.

Monday – Hectic day
I developed a back ache as I slept on the floor. I woke up at 8.30, aunt B woke us up with her usual shouting, Alex seem to be only one immune by it he pulled the covers and continued to sleep. We had breakfast, I had only Milo. We were waiting for Andrew to come back he only arrived at 11a.m. Then everyone left, Aunt B, Michelle and grandma left back to Klang. Me, Andrew Uncle David and Aunt Irene left to Sg Wang.
We took the monorail as I taught it was much more scenic route to Sg Wang. My Uncle found the view was quite different from the normal route; he also was quite fascinated on the technology of the monorail. We saw the track shift from once side to another. Once we reached the station we headed to Isetan to get some Christmas decorations which Aunt Irene wanted for her tree next year. We got some nice decorative ribbons. We headed back to Sg Wang to find pirated DVD’s and CD we sped at least 3 hours there. We stopped for Italians at La Opera. They had spaghetti bolanese and I tortellini with Spinach ala panna. Uncle David the mea was wonderful ad was ridiculously cheap if converted to pounds it would have been £2.50 per plate.
We continued DVD and CD shopping till about 3 where we headed to MUI plaza where we went to a Mercedes’ exhibition. It was an old car exhibition and some new ones. I have the pics which I will post soon enough. I saw beautiful well kept ones. Uncle David has a passion for old cars; he goes for at least one of the shoes during the summer time. I got 4 cd for myself my new Michael Bubble cd with lots more track from my previous, Eminem, Joss Stone and Houston
We walked to KLCC and had tea at BOH we ordered a pot of tea had drunk as we had an hour to kill before we hit Petaling Street. I went to Guardian to but some heating patch for my back. Aunt Irene wanted a cook book from Chef Wan so he went to Kinokuniya and ended up getting some other cook book.
We headed to PS, it was obvious that everyone was quite tired. It was already 6 now, Andrew was already too tired to continue, Aunt Irene sensing that all of us we tired we abandoned the PS but before that Aunt Irene got some dried sweet meat and I got some Siew pow for desert. I was kind of sleepy and I was fighting it till 10 where I just needed to go to bed.

Sunday – Finally Drunk
I woke up to go for mass, quite lazy myself after yesterday night so called drinking party with the gang. I woke up and was to lazy to do any ironing so I just picked up jersey from the cupboard and wore it. I headed to St John’s church I sat at my usual place. I noticed that mass was conducted by a retired priest that would make all Catholics lose faith instantly. You have no idea what’s he saying when he gives the sermon. God was I lost but I did seat next too a nice Chinese lady, sexy thing. That was the only thing that kept me awake. Pris mum gave me peace today, with a big smile. Nice smile she has, but you never see it often, I never actually. During communion Pris acknowledge me and so did I
After mass I headed to KLCC to run 2 errands, to my surprise Isetan only opened at 10.30 due to a special 3 day sale. I had an hour to kill so I had breakfast at SFC a Christmas Hot Chocolate (Marshmallow included) and a hot croissant; I read my book while I was having my breakfast. While having my breakfast I placed my elbow on my bag, I heard a crack. I knew I had nothing in there except for my charger after investigating I found out my Michael Bubble cd broke….
Once Isetan was open I headed to get wine. I went for the promotional price one I got 4 bottles and I dashed back to SFC to pick up my SFC Cheese cake which I pre-ordered on Friday. With a boy of wine on my left and a cake on my right I hailed into a cab. Aunt B called me to my surprise they were already back at my place waiting for me, apparently they arrived at 9.30 a.m. No one was in front in the living room so I assumed they were all in my room and yes they were, and they were watching mum and dad’s anniversary video…. Arrrgghhhh the humiliation.
We gave our hugs around and we sat and we talked after the show. We had lunch; I and Aunt B had less cause we were saving ourselves for the big dinner. Aunt Irene wanted to go to Midvalley and see what it was all about so I, Andrew, Aunt B, Irene, Uncle David and Michelle was headed to the KTM station. We left grand mum back home for her to have her afternoon nap. Once there we separated the ladies and Andrew went their own way and I and Uncle David wandered the floor by ourselves. We scouted for cd’s we could get in the pirate selection. At about 5 we all grouped in front of McD to have an ice cream cone. We headed back home by the time I reached and took my bath it was already 7-ish. I rushed to go get uncle diner. He only eats western cuisine nothing else, so I headed to Ship at Sg Wang and got him a Victorian steak and walkd to Jalan Imbi
They were already there waiting for me. I got the lady to put Uncle David food on a plate and serve it to him. I was so thirsty that I ordered a big bottle of beer me and my dad shared and a small stout to mix with my beer. The 6 dish course came and I must say all of them enjoyed their meal. Everyone love the mango chicken, the tom yam fish, spicy la la, Kangkung veges’s, the sweet and sour soup and of course the butter prawns. It was Aunt B and Michelle 1st time here and they enjoyed it allot. All of them complained it was a bit to hot but they definitely enjoyed it.
After dinner we headed home with a short detour to Sg Wang to show Aunt Irene and Uncle David the lights of KL. Once home we open a bottle of wine and me and Aunty Bella continued drinking, Aunty Irene was quick to follow and we finished a bottle in 15 minutes. I was at least a bit giddy by the time it was done. We watched oprah and we went to bed.
I woke up to go for mass, quite lazy myself after yesterday night so called drinking party with the gang.

Saturday – Still not drunk
I woke up at 10 wishing I was still in bed. I had a feeling Yoges wouldn’t call so I headed to the barber. I shaved my head bald drawing some lines on the sides of my head. I took a long bath and got dressed for my meet with Marc, Shell and Lenny. Yoges called me at about 12 he said he just called me back from his treatment. I left to meet him; Peggy was there back in the kitchen meddling with something. She passed me a cup of herbal tea which was quite good. We sat in the kitchen table. Yoges has a bandage around his tummy, quite normal after his traditional treatment. I could see he was in pain. Peggy had a twisted arm as well.
I headed to BSC after that Lenny apparently was already there finding me a gift. I reached first in Chili then Lenny came in. Shelly dressed in a very nice feminine pink, I guess it was to cover her soon to be red cheeks. We ordered two times of Buffalo wings, classic nachos, a sundae and a fajitas wrap. Oh yeah Neil cam have the way, that when the party became alive. All of us did shots after that. Shelly got wasted the most me and Lenny were so sober. We did 3 tequila shots; 4-5 sambuca’s while the gals has 2 B-52’s each.
During that time we were drinking whiskey shots too. Somewhere during the sessions we exchanged gist. Shelly got me and Marcia a nice shirt each (promise to post it ASAP) and a nice cap that said ‘Good Shit’ for Lenny. Marcia got me a nice Dalmatian mug, Shelly and Lenny got….. Gosh I can’t remember. I know Lenny got Shelly a mystery novel, a Santa bear for Marcia and a nice Body shop stuff for Lenny. I got Shelly some tashmina’s, Lenny body shop stuff and Marcia a nice book to read.
We took many photos. I can’t wait to post them on the blog, my fav would be Shelly drunk on Lenny’s shoulder and she finding Marcia’s car. During our time there we spent about RM600 worth of food and drinks, blady hell init. Money well spent we also witness a couples tiff which ended a poor old lady getting bonked on the head with a plastic mug. It was such a classic tale, we don’t know what really happen but we really know is the lady stood up poor ice cool water on the guy and threw the mug on him, he dogged it which made the mug bounced on the tble and landed on a poor ladies head who just came in for a drink…. Hehehe
All of us left that night either drunk or semi drunk, I left home with my gift in my hand telling myself how wonderfully luckily I am to have such beautiful people in my life. Great friends

Diary: 17 December 2004
Friday Glorious Friday. Why is it very good, one because it’s the end of the week and I’m on leave starting tomorrow. There was nothing that was going to bring me down. I was very cheerful. Christmas present kept on popping out of no where under the tree. I was eager to open mine at 2.30. Work was wonderful I just wasn’t bothered I was taking it easy. I helped Lenny with the reports and some of the weekly tone uploads. I’ve already informed Marina about giving the whole lot to Lenny so that he and Caroline can divide it among themselves.
A new content guy is to come in on Monday to help Lenny; I am not too pleased about it because Zaki interviewed him. He has no clue what my team needs yet God knows why he picked one when he has no rite too. I didn’t say anything because Lester name was some how linked to it. Thank to Hkng he told me that if he doesn’t perform he’ll just get the boot.
At 2.30 we all gathered to open presents. I received an YSL scented candle, lavender smell, wonderful I tell you. Never knew they did that. I found out that my Secret Santa was Jennifer. I’ve been hard on her because I’ve wanted the best on her, but Lenny’s just mean to her. I had my routine meetings with Lester but my head was already back at Klang wondering what presents I would get for Christmas.
Sharp 6.30 I was out of the office said my goodbye to all. Saira promised me a gift when I see her ext, can’t wait for that one. I met Melman for dinner; we had it at Kim Gary Sg Wang not that good compared to Avenue K. We sat and we talked about things that happened in our lives since we last met. I told him about my acquaintance with Shari and my MSN chat with Eve. We decided to head to Thai club for lil drink. I was up for it as I was already on a party mode. Lisa threw a fit when we told her when we were going to Thai Club. Ohh yeah we also went shopping at Isetan, Levis was having a bargain sale jeans for RM99 I got a pair for myself, so did Mel
It was my first time in Melman’s pad. Quite a small one I must say but very cozy. I like the small Jedi figurine he has by the TV set. He and Lisa have made a nice place for themselves. Mel took a quick bath and then headed to the kitchen. He threw me a beer and we were out of the door. I finished mine before we reached Thai Club. Once there to our surprise Sharon and Mei Chi were there. Sharon was partially drunk with her friend Catherine.
I and Mei Chin danced the night away; she is such a character, poor soul always falls in love with the wrong types of guys. She came with her collogues, when we arrived she stayed in our table and ditched them because they we all old blokes. To my surprise she just ended her relationship with one of them who obviously had too much to drink. She asked me if I could walk her to her friends car to collect the key (the too much to drink one). I hold her hand as we walked to the car. She was telling me how nice it was to see me after so long.
The drunken chap was jealous, once we reached the car park they needed sometime alone to sort things out. They took some time so I approached them to ask if everything was fine but he was very possessive about her. Knowing he had too much to drink Mei Chin asked me to head back and she assured me that she would be fine. Sensing the predicament I was in I agree, made me wonder why I am always in these times of situations.
Party was going well at Thai cowboy, the Dj kept saying my name, and welcoming me back Sharon was quite drunk by then I bought tequila shots and sambuca for us to drink. I tell you that I am building a resistance to sambuca. I was sober the whole night. Sharon tried to do the sexy dance on me. Sharon or rep reading this, I apologize in advance. I was so un-attracted to her; I just wanted her to move away, where else her friend was … yummy. She was drunk she clinked to me, to drunk to move I see, found out she is still mourning about her past boy friend. Honestly if it was Mel he would have teen advantage of her, we’ll I just felt pity for her.
After Thai Club we headed to the nearby mamak stall and I left back home. At 4 a.m. back home. A day well spent..

So Sorry....
I had a conversation with one of my friend, and I notice I did something soo wrong. To the gal I didnt mean to break her heart. I think these are the words you wanna say to me... I'm, trully soryy...
Why would you play with my heart,
When I gave it all,
It's tearing me apart girl,
All you had to do is say so,
I would of let you go,
You're making it so hard girl
Why would you play with my heart,
When I gave it all,
It's tearing me apart girl,
All you had to do is say so,
I would of let you go,
You're making it so hard girl
Tell me why, why baby
[Chorus]
If it never really was what you seen in me,
Why did you say you believed in me,
It's all because of you my security,
It's driving me crazy baby,
If it never really was what you had for me,
Why did you say that you wanted me, needed me,
If it never really was what you meant for me,
Tell me
[Chorus]
If it never really was what you seen in me,
Why did you say you believed in me,
It's all because of you my security,
It's driving me crazy baby,
If it never really was what you had for me,
Why did you say that you wanted me, needed me,
If it never really was what you meant for me,
Tell me
[Chorus (Girl's part)]
If it never really was what you seen in me,
Why did you say you believed in me,
(I just tried to give you what you needed)
It's all because of you my security,
It's driving me crazy baby,
(Would you just tell me why you lied to me)
If it never really was what you had for me,
Why did you say that you wanted me, needed me,
(don't know)
If it never really was what you meant for me,
Tell me
Why would you play with my heart,
When I gave it all,
It's tearing me apart girl,
All you had to do is say so,

2 more days till I have my 16 Day break, wow thats half month. Yeah and its been paid for. Hehehe But deep down I know for sure I'm gonna be called back, so now the question lies is should I pick up the call or not. Today I had 9 candidates to interview. Its not an easy task to interview someone when your not ready yourself. I had 9 different characters, to interview one who couldnt speak proper English, One who was over qualified (His folder was Luis Vouton, needless to say his salary expectation was soo high), and a couple of freshies
I'm organising this years company trip and this year we are heading to Pulau Redang. Marina if your reading this yes its official, Lester has agreed to it. I called the Berjaya but the lady who handled my account has gone overseas so her assistant took my call. Her name was Fanny, God help me, it was so hard to keep a normal tone voice and say Fanny at the same time. Once I ended the conversation I had a great big laugh. This is so typical chinese, they cant speak proper English but they have bombastic names which some even cat pronounce properly. I am willing to bet my entire savings that Ms Fanny doesnt know what her name means.
After work Me, Lenny, Sharon and ping sat beside our office Christmas tree. We were inspecting all the gifts under the tree. We were like kids before Christmas inpecting our gifts. We get to open them tommorow after lunch 2.30p.m. cant wait. Everyone apprently knows who my secret santa. I've made an announcement that if i were to find who my secret santa was I would take them for lunch. I wonder who she is. Yes its a she.

I've always said that we are all stars of our own show. I'm the star of the Mark Show. Guest do come and go from time to time, some get terminated along they. I always taught charachters like Shari, Eve and other was terminated from my show but apparently they are making a come backin my life. It began with Shari as we met and chit-chatted. Just the other day Eve was online on MSN and we chatted as well. For those close to me will know that they was a big tiff but if you ask me I just remember a big ball of anger, confusion and miss-understanding. Hmm I wonder why these characters are back after so long.....
For the past two days work has been Ying and Yang, one day I'm lazy as hell to work and another day I have a cigar in my mouth curning up all the ideas for a project I least want to handle. I was quite pissed when my boss accused me of not taking the initiative to lead in the Chat service. Please explain to me why I need to when I'm goin on leave in 2 - days. The last thing I need is the company calling me back. Since my GM wants it Mark just have to deliver.
I got myself the new LOTR3 Extended Version yesterday. Its blady 4 hours long 50 minutes of extended footage. So now I have the whole extended collection with me. I watched it with Andrew yesterday while testinmg my chat service. I slept at 1.30 am. I'm never gonna wake up tommorow.

Diary: 12 December 2004
I slept very late yesterday, 1.30 a.m. I guess, so it was so hard for me to wake up at 7.00 to go for mass. I was so tempted to get back under the covers but my dad woke me up so going to church was definitely eminent. Smart me had already iron my shirt to church so it was just a quick bath and I was all ready to leave. I noticed by Nokia needed to be charged so I left it behind and took my NEC with me.
I was definitely yawning in mass, I attended St John's, yes Priscilla was there with her mum and grandparents. I think she put on a couple of u know what. I sat near her pew. During communion I think she was to engrossed with it that she must have missed me just infront of her. After mass I was just eager to begin the finishing of my shopping. I switched on my NEC phone and I was checking on my SMS that came in. I saw Priscialla car parked infront but I decided to walk pass it as I saw her mum quite eager to get in and I didnt want to get into trouble,; and I didnt see her anywhere to say helloo.
To my surprise as I was about to leave the church I heard someone calling me from the back, it was Priscilla and all the thing she said to me was, Waah sombongnya and she kept on looking at my shoes and my NEC phones and kept on repeating it and saying bcos of my new shoes nd new phone that I didnt talk to her. I knew she was playing. Being quite early in the morning I just didnt bother, we had a lil chat and then I was off. I decided to have breakfast at Sri Pandi restaurant. I gott myself some roti canai and a nice hot milo.
I headed to KLCC and gotten some slacks for myself from Parkson and Isetan. I searched around on what I could get my Aunt but i couldnt find a thing. I got my Uncle an architecture book on KLCC, My secret Santa a nice bracelet. As i was scouting around I found a nice purple Jewlry box in Memory lane. I got that for my aunt. I craved for Mc D but i didnt want to go to the hassle of stopping trains. I got nandos for lunch and took a cab nack home. I had a quick lunch and I went to sleep.
I woke up at 6.30, took my bath had dinner and watched TV till late nite.

To my surprise as I was about to leave the church I heard someone calling me from the back, it was Priscilla and all the thing she said to me was, Waah sombongnya and she kept on looking at my shoes and my NEC phones and kept on repeating it and saying bcos of my new shoes nd new phone that I didnt talk to her. I knew she was playing. Being quite early in the morning I just didnt bother, we had a lil chat and then I was off. I decided to have breakfast at Sri Pandi restaurant. I gott myself some roti canai and a nice hot milo.
I headed to KLCC and gotten some slacks for myself from Parkson and Isetan. I searched around on what I could get my Aunt but i couldnt find a thing. I got my Uncle an architecture book on KLCC, My secret Santa a nice bracelet. As i was scouting around I found a nice purple Jewlry box in Memory lane. I got that for my aunt. I craved for Mc D but i didnt want to go to the hassle of stopping trains. I got nandos for lunch and took a cab nack home. I had a quick lunch and I went to sleep.
I woke up at 6.30, took my bath had dinner and watched TV till late nite.

Diary: 11 Decemeber 2004
I had the most unusual dream this morning, I was in a mob movie and I was taking orders from my GM to smoke someone out. My slumber was disturbed when mum work me up to enquire who I went to the movies on Thursday. I had to explain to her at the spur of the moment we just decided to see Ocean 12. I wanted to sleep till 10 but I guess my mum didn’t know about it I woke up at 9.30 a.m. Mum and Andrew was getting ready to do some back to school shopping. They will be going for their Xmas shopping tomorrow. I used to remember being dragged for it. It would begin very cheerfully but end very bad, either my mum or dad would argue or we brothers would just be displeased.
It was compulsory for me to see my Saturday Morning cartoons. I caught my Danny Phantom and some shit on cartoon network. I left to see Shari and shop at 1 Utama. The train ride to Asia Jaya was very nice and smooth. I took time reading my book. I took a cab from there; the cab driver was very friendly with me I told him I was meeting an old friend about 5 years we haven’t met. He was kind enough to speed up so I could get there quickly. I reached quite early so I decided to do a lil of browsing. I headed to Royal Selangor Pewter to see if I could get something for my Uncle… well it was just too expensive for my blood.
I was banging my head on what I should get Alex and Andrew for Xmas; I finally knew what to get him once I looked at it. I know both of them are gonna love it. Shari called around 1 we had trouble meeting up at 1 Utama can get a bit confusing at times. We met near DIY shop, and I must say she was a beautiful sight. She has chopped off her nice long hair she used to have. But she still looks good though, when I saw her I hugged her. She was like a memory I had, I nice memory. We decided to have lunch, a nice way to sit down and catch up.
We had lunch at Italianni’s, a place where I was meaning to go for a long time. Don’t let the entrance of the shop fool you. It might look like a small place a bit tight but that’s just the entrance. Inside the ambience was wonderful, I think it looks like an ethnic Italian feel restaurant. They had very good and friendly waiters eager to serve you. The food was excellent. Me and Shari shared Meatballs pasta ad a Garlic Chicken Pizza. If you’re worried about the price it’s not like Grappa where a mean for 2 would cost you RM300 but it’s very reasonably priced. Shari had Ice lemon tea while I had red wine. The food was wonderful. I already know where I wan to celebrate my Birthday next year.
As we sat enjoyed our meal, we catched up on things that as happened in our lives. We exchanged to major secrets which we have honored to keep. It was fun talking to her; we were laughing our head off relating life. It’s been along time since I laughed like that. She told me she is cooking now, I laughed, I laugh now as I type this. Hahahahah… (Pause collecting breathe)
I would love to taste her cooking, after finishing the pasta, pizza and 3 glasses of wine myself we decide to leave. I was surprise to hear that Shari wanting to tag a long with me to do my shopping. We headed to Raul to get myself a long sleeve shirt. Shari and I picked a pink shirt with matching cufflinks. The Sales boy who was very young was trying to impress me with Jamie Cullum as he heard me say I taught he was a brilliant chap. He kept going on and on about him, God I’m buying the dam shirt so stop with the sales pitch already. By the way my shirt is Egyptian cotton…. Doesn’t that make u feel good? One thing I’ve give the sales chap was he did have taste, he picked a very nice pair of cufflinks for me. And I got some kind of device to go with a shirt.
After Raul we headed to Parkson, I got some pots for my aunts; I decided to get them wrapped. I tell you the gift wrapper people were definitely cursing me for asking me to wrap them. I and Shari were laughing our head off as they wrapped them; we were back to our old selves again just talking rubbish. I remember on time Sharon was jealous on how I was much closer to Shari then her. It as a big argument, I never say the big deal I always taught she was just a friends nothing else. She was a good companion to talk to that’s all.
After Parkson we walked aimlessly floor by floor searching for a gift for my secret Santa but we got nothing. I think I’m heading to KLCC tomorrow to get the bracelet I saw in Parkson. We left after that. I walked her to her car and I gave her another hug. There goes my memory… We bought agreed to meet up and do this again, I plan to keep my promise, and I think I call her after New Year to catch a movie or something. I took a cab back home. Back home I noticed that one of my pot gift wrappers were torn so mark had to do some mending. Bad work.
My parents went to church and I didn’t I stayed back and took a very long hot bath, just to relax…..

Diary: 10 Decemeber 2004
I couldn't wake up in the morning, i wa so sleepy and was dragging my feet. I came in the office and took a short nap. I forced myself to write the bog which I was too lazy to write. It was 9.30 am I still had intrest in work. Knowing that if I led on tis way it would just mean trouble I made a strong cup of coffee. Slowly reality hit me and I was back working till lunch time.
I brought my team out for lunch at Kim Gary Beyond located at Avenue K. It was my Xmas treat to them. I had Baked Cheese rice with beef, Borsh soup, Fruit Milk and Strawberry yogurt. We talked and laughed allot. We took some pictures while eating. After lunch we headed to a petting zoon t the same floor. We saw snakes, porcupines, monkey,doves... I'll post some of the pics when I'm back in the office.
After lucnh inthe office no one was in the mood to work, the designers and myself decided to take group photo's, When our GM came in we all went back to work. Hahah.. he wasn't bothered anyway. Winnie got me a glass monkey coaster where else the gals bought me a Post Box 'tabung' very nice of them. They got it from 'Rooms', Winie came around at 3 with a glass bowl with sheets in it. We are all required to participate in the Secret Santa, I got a gal... I wonder what am i going to get her.
After work me and Leny went shopping to get Shelly and Marcia's gift. He hasnt gotten her anything yet. We met Sharon outside of Kinokuniya with Farah. We make facade complimetaries. I honestly was no mood to entertain as I was sleepy we made small talk and I was off. Lenny decided to drop me off at Masjid Jamek. we were discussing about his marriage next year and I asked him if he was really ready for it. He said yes but his face clearly said unsure.
I knew there was nothing for dinner so I stopped by atthe pasar malam and gotten myself nasi goreng ayam, extra ayam. I headed home and watched tv till i was sleepy.

Diary: 9 December 2004
I woke u at 3a.m. after heading to bed quite early, as I tossed and turned I started thinking of things I've accomplished in life. I came up with nothing.. Sad init.I have nothing to after living for 24 years. I woke up at 6 and headed to office finished all my work stuff. I wanted Friday to be a relaxed day...
I was talking to Shelly about Oceans 12 opening today, in the spur of the moment we decided to go and the movie, I went to get the tickets at KLCC while Shelly went to top up her test phone. We met in Starbucks for coffee, could you believe we were doing tis at 11, luckily my bosses were not in. Shell bought a latte and a rocky road cake for me, we walked to the office talking, both of us are quite eager for the 18th party. Both of us have agreed to arrive and come back by taxi... hahahaha
Back at work, all my services were failing, god knows why. Its just testing me before I go on leave making me feel guilty for leaving it, Mr Hkng think I've already assume the position at Content Personal, he gave me my 1st task. Thank god I got help from the Content Dev team.
Me and Shelly had lunch at the new food court, she had nyonya curry laksa where else I had a nice Chicken mayo sandwich with hot tea. We headed to watch the movie, Shelly wanted the whole works, so we went to get popcorn and soda. The movie was excellent. Upfront the movie is for the intelligent folk if your not then best you go watch Polar Express.
I love the 70 style shooting of the film, excellent plot and script writing. We get to see allot of Matt Damon as he plays a more better role. All I'll say its a very thoroughly taught of movie script. I do agree with Priscilla as she is just the pretty face in the movie, but I must commend her on her hairsytle. Really works on her. After the movie we were tempted to head for Zock but we decided not to. Back home Alex was watching X-man, I joined him fo while then I went to bed.... ZZZzzzzz

Diary: 8 December 2004
A just an average day for an arverage joe like myself. work was ok, with the that tiff with my GM, nothing out of the unusual. Vikram was still doing his movie shoot downstairs. I think they went to MPO to film it. I must really say that he really looks good. The clean look is soo good for him.
I had lunch with Shelly, Winnie and my designer at Sweet Home. I just love the Sesame Fried Chicken. After lunch me and Shelly headed to Ez Video as she wanted to return a faulty VCD, she exchanged it for a thai movie 'Beautiful Boxing', that would be given in our office exchanging gifts. I havent gotten my yet. Everyone needs to get a gift no less than RM15, its like the Secret Santa shiet.
Work continued that till 6 when all of the sudden Vincent (NEC Rep) called me to ask me how to download, being unsure myself I said I'd called him back. For no reason I tried it on my new NEC phone, to dismay the service was not running. No one off was there so I had to trouble shoot the problem by myself till it was fixed. i lext the office at 9. When I reached home after work I was just too tired to do anything. I had my dinner and soon after I was off to dreamland.....

My Indian Superstar
It was dreaded Tuesday, meeting at Pantai. I hate it although I'll be shifting there soon. I hate going there because I have to meet up with my VP of Research and Development. I am petrified by him. How weird isn't it I'm not afraid on anyone in the company except him. He is like Snape in Hogwarts (Harry Pooter fans will understand). I left early there so I could meet up Lenn for breakfast, to my surprise Logen and Darrel was there. Both of them were speaking about their jobs description and what I need to worry when I take over.
There are 2 entrances to Pantai office. One has a view of the VP's office and another just leads to the meeting room. All of us took that one and we buzzed all those who needed to attend. I just didn't want to meet my VP. The meeting was short and sweet just the way I like it.
On my way to Pantai I saw a camera krew setting up infront of Tower 2 where I work, I taught it must be some Bollywood dance scence as I saw the hero practicing with his back up dancers. I didnt bother as Its kind of normal to have them. When I came back to my surprise it wasn't a Bollywood shoot but a Tamil superstar, my favavourit actor Vikram. He had really long straight hair. He had fair complection, and was very tall. I assumed he was filming for his next movie Aniyan (Bad guy.. I think). I so didnt want to go back but I had NEC Directors waiting for me. With another glimpse of my favourite actor I left to meet them.
Oh I've practiced this line the whole day "Wata Shiwa Maruku- San", they were impressed that I went an extra mile just to introduce myself in Japananese although they spoke English. Thank You Shari for passing me the Japanese Name translater waaaayyy back. I sat and we discussed about their new phone which is on the market already, anyone catch the news would have seen it.
At met Annie for lunch we had Geman sausage at KLCC Level 2 food court. Please dont go there, the food is horrible. The sausage was uncooked, the mashed potato was sour, and their german potato strings was just not it. For those who seen my tummy will know that I'm always right with food. I spoke with Anne Gomez yesterday night, she is such a cheerful bunch. Back home I catched my Harry Potter 3 cd which I just bought and then I was off to bed

I was so eager to take EL as my wallet was in Klang. Annie offered to bring it to me as she was heading to Maxis at 1.30. I got Winnie to get me a pass forrm the security to my astonishement I left my keys at home. I had to go back home to go get it cause no one had spares and Lester and Sharon was in pAntai and wouldn't be returning till late afternoon. So I rushed home to get my keys and I was back all sweaty. Luckily I didnt take EL as Lenny had to take EL as his Uncle passed away. His having bad spells all through out the year.
Work was a typical, Monday blues. I finished everything I needed to do by 3 p.m and I was just waiting for the clock to reach 6.p.m. I went for my 3 o'clock meeting with Lester and Hasmida. We sat and we talked on how we could reach this months Sales. My chat I created for Xfresh will be ported over across all my services. Whoa yeah ! ! !. Testing will be done tis week, when tis happens I always remeber a line from A-Team "I like it when a plan comes together". After the meeting, I was chatting with Shari online and pretending to look busy.
6.30 I was out of the office. I decided to finish whatever Christmas shopping I could in KLCC. I splurged about RM400 in an hours time. Tis year all my friends are getting expensive gifts. ONLY this year though. I cant wait for the Dec 18 as I spend it with Shelly and Marcia & Lenny. Ah Merry Christmas All...

Where Did The Day Go To?
As I reached Klang at about 10pm on Saturday we we greeted warmly by my grandma, She was very fussy on how we sat and did stuff. We didn't really bother cause we knew she was just eager for the arrival of her daughter.
I woke up at about 6a.m. to send my parents off to the airport I had no choice as their voices woke me up and my body alarm tends to wake up around that time. I tried to go back to bed but I couldn't the blanket was too short and the mosquitoes were biting... look at me I bithching. I woke up at 8 and cleared the hall where we slept. Grandma made bee-hoon for breakfast. She was restless waiting for her daughter to arrive she was hustling and bustling in the kitchen, making sure everything was to perfection.
I was just finishing up my book which I brought along, I was eager to start with Skipping Christmas (a book). They arrived at 10, Aunt B and Mitchelle came shortly after that. We had breakfast together, Uncle David has his butter and jam while Aunt Irene digged into the bee-hoon. Uncle David was asking me and how I was doing at work and my personal life. And I told him - NOTHING
Aunty Pat, Annie, Gerald and lil Michele came after that. He was such a cute thing. At a very beginning stage he already had accessed Uncle David (Mat Salleh) as orange faced and tall as giraffe. Uncle David was never fond of kids so he stayed way... We made Michele do the chicken dance showing his cute bum to everyone. Soon after it was lunch, Uncle David skipped his but he was at the table accompanying us. Aunt Iree had ablast from it all. All of us brought a dish. Grandma made vege and rice, Aunty Paty made two types of chicken dish, Aunt B made prawn sambal, My mum made beef rendang and Aunt Thresa made fish sambal (yuck ! ! !)
After lunch we still sat and catched up with everyone. Uncle David and Irene had a short nap. So did I, it was a Sunday. At around 5 I have no idea why we rushed home, ending up me leaving my wallet at grandma's place. There goes my monday.....

I headed to Midavalley as I was invited to attend the French foor covetion held in the exibition floor. I had my wine and cheese and some pastries as samples at the convention. Oposite the conventionthey had some property fair. After convention I wanted to go to PWTC, for the PC fair but i decided no to. I headed home and continued watching Murder at 1600.
I went for mass with Mum and Dad today as we are going to Klang tonight. I wont be posting anything tommorow as I will be in Klang welcoming my Aunt and Uncle from UK and enjoying a feast.

I woke terribly early today, I had on of those weird dream that never made sense, something like Alice in wonderland, not that weird anyway. There is only for so long that you can toss and turn in your bed, I woke ur and headed to the office as I knew my work is just increasing day by day so better have an early start to finish what I can. As I walked to the train station I looked at the sky, pitch lack with small dots was watching me over. I havent seen so many stars at night nor morning. At once, I remebered Anne saying she used to lie in her campus grounds at night with her frens and watch the stars. I wish I could have done that.
I did finish lots of things in the office but of course there is always more. The current hassle (project) I'm working on is for the new NEC phone which would hit the market tis coming Monday. I've been playing with it since the pass 2 weeks. I must say its quite a fight to Nokia brand phones. It also has a MP3 player built in to it for you to put your fav songs in. Its very loud too. We had a brain storming session during the meeting and I again came up with a new campaigh to run. But I must comment EC for comming with another better one.
Everyone in the office was tensed because the launch of the NEC phone was on Monday in Mandarin Oriental, all the Japanese NEC head willbe there, so you see the big fuss about it. I left office at 7.30 and I headed to Sg wang to collect my brand new watch that went for repair. Yes my DKNY is back with me. Instead of coming home straight I browsed throgh the shopping malls. I got some ribbons for the Christmas Tree, which hasn't been eracted yet. I lso got some BBQ chicken wings at Isetan. Its nice too see lots of couple in love in town, must be the festive season or its just lovein the air. My last stop was Speedy video where i got myself a "Murder at 1600" for those who havent watched it please do as its a very suspense/mystery film. It stars Wesley Snipes and some gal. I caught it on Astro one night and decided I must have a copy of my own. I took the monorail home, reading my book indulged in the writers world.
Back home everyone was doing their thing. Mum made nasi lemak for diner and I must say it was wonderfull. She went for the whole nine yards. She had kangkung, rendang and all. after dinner I set to watch the video I bought but I was just too tired and off I was to bed.

Diary: 2 December 2004
I've been having some bad spells at work, all my services seem to be not working which is making me look like a fool infront of my GM. Its only 18 more days for my holiday... I sometimes I feel like I'm crawling myself to the 20th. My Christmass shopping is not done... Help ! ! ! I still cant do it tis week as I will be at Klang welcoming Uncle David and Aunt Irene. And I have to go to the PC Fair tis Sunday, there is some stuff I really need to get.
I had lunch with the gals and Shelly today, Lenny stayed back as he needed to finish something. We went to McD'd and we all bough the Incredible's Baby @ Jack Jack handphone rest. It speaks gibberish whenever it detect the radiation which by the way is often so you do get annoyed wit it. Thank god they have a off swithch.
I left work at 7.30 p.m., I wanted to scout around at Isetan to see what Family gifts I could get but all of them seem to be over then my budget. I ended at Video Ez, to my surprise they had the Coallision Course album out. For those who dont know what it is, its actually the Linkin Park vs Jay Z album. It has 6 songs brilliantly mixed together. It also comes with a VCD of the concert which by the way you get catch on Astro MTV on Friday 10pm. This is another prized posseion after Usher SE - Confessional album. I also got myself the Harry Potter 3rd installion and Bourne Supremacy.
Back home I was suprised to see that mum was giving tution to a kid. Now thats her new part-time job. Some chubby boy learning his ABC's. I and Alex spent the night in the room blasting to Collision Course

Diary: 1 December 2004
Have you ever wondered what was the big fuss about putting the seat down in the toilet. From time and time again we've seen in the movies or series couples argueing about it. What is the blady problem of just putting it up or down. I was reading CLEo the other day the ladies just found out that their men act differently when they are with their guys. Some might not pay attention to them (gals)... like duh of course they act differently that might be actually hoew they are. When we are with the guys there is no sensitive side, emotional shiet to worry about. We say what we want, joke about our hoes.. oops i mean girlfriend.
Yesterday we had my meeting and they were talking about our figures and how short we have fallen. Next month's target has been set something I myself have doubt with but again I have to accept it. Plans to achieve it has albeen put out lets see how it goes. Other than that work was fine I was out the office by 8p.m.
I'm just looking forward for my Xmas leave but I have a feeling I'm not gonna get it. I'm just gonna pray for it. My Aunt is coming down from UK tis weekend. I so looking forward for that.
