needed transform ages ago

A new outlook aye...

i've recently addicted to the colour Green. but to a certain extent as certain greens are absolute No No..

finally found myself time to do blogging stuff this afternoon after lunch. i recently have this craze over hongkong style dining. the likes are Old Town and Kim Gary. hehehe.....should be visiting them again next week?

spent about 4 hours updating my new blog template as well as picture cropping and viewing whilst chatting on MSN. as i flip through the pictures taken; nostalgic flashed back. all results laughter. party in the library to canberra trip to birthday parties to SUAMS and to the last few months in Sydney to recent graduation trip. (you know what my mum saw me laughing on my own and she said i'm getting crazy :P) hahahahaha lol. all good memories despite what had happened as those are all hidden way behind those Great Ones.

It's really good to record all happenings in our life i realised. I have to admit after looking at the albums i felt so much energetic and happy. if u do feel upset try looking at them and rewind the film to the time the shot was taken.

i need a haircut badly but i havent had the time to do so till next Sunday. need more time not for work but sleep and drama watching and "kai kai".

i think i am quite "mou liu" cus i have nothing much to do but see what this friend of mine said

sau_chi_goon: hmmmm....u have any 'chit muk' tonight?
¿«ßërrėnćeª»: nope
sau_chi_goon: u should rest
¿«ßërrėnćeª»: hahahahahahah why
sau_chi_goon: too active d!:D
¿«ßërrėnćeª»: not really lor

i think i'm quite "kuai" to be home most of the time but at the same it seems that recent weekends i have been quite occupied. which is good cus ever since i got a fractured ankle. i've always been home other than work.

updates on my ankle would be that; some bits and pieces to recovery guessing approximately 95% of recovery now. need to wear heels already please recover laaa...

it's getting on my nerves

i was so iritated this morning in the Shell Petrol Station. you know how we are supposed to queue at the counter and pay for the petrol before you even get your hands on the pump. So I did.
There was an uncle right in front of me. Just a few moments after i waited another man came with his motorbike cut my queue and went straight to the counter in a blink of an eye and just before he was about to finish with his business another man came so close to the counter as if i was INVISIBLE. I was so annoyed by that kind of behaviour and before i even know it i told him off
"tak boleh beraturkah?" and it was quite loud okay.

BACK OFF stoopid people who doesnt know how to spell Queue Up and Beratur PLEASE!!

You are running out of time i supposed. and the time that u are running is TIMe and are my time NOT TIME? Please be a little considerate u people out there.

Another thing that annoys me is the lift story. We have people who never let those in the lift to walk out and squeezed into the lift. Excuse me..if it's not empty how are u gonna go in and take the lift up? Common sense dictates lah!

That is so annoying. Respect yourself by acting like an adult. Don't say how people look down on you when you yourself make others look down on you. You are what you eat, do and think!

Come to think of it i feel so pissed off with this kind of community. and nowadays nowhere is safe. Snatch thieves especially. Just today in the newspapers, 2 policemen in their patrol cars was robbed by a man with only A KNIFE.

2 GUNS Vs. 1 KNIFE

Who won?
The one with a KNIFE (unbelievable man)

What kinda place is this that i'm living in? Can someone do something?

Snatch thief cases i realised had that one particular thing in common. So common that it unbelieavably implies that one thing that can never be brought up in the conversations. Wana find out? Make a guess and get the answers from me!

Just on Monday i got myself a new system now a Latitude D600 when now they are selling D620. Basically 2 generations behind but the system is not bad afterall cus it's running at 2GB of memory and 80GB of HDD which is what the new D620 is running on.

Just to make a comparison to my personal Lappie

















They should age the same. Around 2 to 3 yrs old?. probably. One Inspiron one Latitude. A new Inspiron now comes with a sleek silver design whereas the new Latitude comes in a sleek black classic design. Who needs a new laptop?

so so so forgetful me


I FORGOT TO LOCK MY CAR THIS MORNING!!!!!

So silly me...and i parked it right next to the main road Okaayyy..

and i could see the radio a bit dislocated lor. I have to give Perodua a pat on their back man! Why u must be asking. The thing was so "uuun" that the radio is still there after god knows how many attempts of someone that i don't know tried to steal it.

and if it got stolen i had to change a new set! I'm already quite broke and i don't want to beg for money from my papa anymore.

my dear friend just said quickly use until it spoils then can get new one. Luckily it wasnt stolen otherwise i will have to "thank" this friend of mine.


*TOUCH WOOD*


It's now Mid-August alreadyyy.

i'm still as FAT and i mean it Okayyy

.. i'm still as BROKE

...still as UGLY

....still as SToOPID

.....still as PLAYFUL

......still as Sot Sot Tei

.......still as FIERCE

........still likes to EAT (a causal relationship on why I'M STILL FAT)

........still seek for employment

..........still the same old bling

...........still have the same old thoughts and feeling

...........still want to chase certain things in life

...........still hold expectations to expect the unexpected

should that be it? if i wish to go on this list can go up to a few pages. sigh....

arggghhh!!

it's 12.16am and i'm STILL AWAKE

felt so tired and wanted to sleep so badly that unfortunately i can't

god knows why...

went to the office this morning without doing much other than eat and sitting plus back to eating again. Reason being ? attended a meeting. So much so that i ter-PPK my friends for lunch. (wasn't my fault) sigh.. they must be scolding me BIG TIME ish!

oh well what happened yesterday was i had a massive terrible headache that i'd never experience. It feels like it's taking my live man!

I thought it might be because of the "lai cha" on Saturday plus the Xi Mut Lai Cha from Old Town e-gate and Bubble Milk Tea from Kocha on Sunday

I was half dead yesterday at my desk. Struggling to complete some price files. I could not even open my eyes. I had to walk to the clinic and get headache pills that doesnt work on me. I slept right after i reach home at 6. Waking up for dinner at 8.30 and back to my dreams at 10.30

things got better this morning.

Thank GOD!!! i thought i should be dead already

kind of exhausted and not so

i was supposed to continue with my concern over the 2nd link to be built soon connecting both Batus (Batu Maung and Batu Kawan) haha..

first i thought of drawing a map showing how the island will look like after the 2nd link is built. but as a result of my procrastinating behaviour and laziness to be exact i din lah obviously.

i haven't had time to even read the magazine i brought home since last week okayyy?

been busy for the week First with my work Secondly with my SLEEP!

baka! So Damn no LIFE man!

i realised i have been making a big fuss over my life nowadays. But i couldnt help it ma.

So so so bored please find me some entertainment.

Just came home after lunch @ Kim Gary with my mama. Bumped into Ms. Goon who went to do some shopping while popping around with the intention of looking at the Ms Youth that is going on today which one of my friend is involve in. Her name? Clara Khoo ( i dun even know her name is Clara till today)

I'm so damn full now. High on Baked Cheese Chicken Chop Rice and "Lai Cha" plus Red Bean Snowy and Thyfoon Style Noodle Soup and Borsch Soup. Okay do make things clear here i shared with my mum. Like i can finish all.

Ok and back to my conversion. Temp to Perm. This is the jargon used in the working environment. My manager told me to redo my resume because the previous that i'd submitted for that Pricing analyst temp was way TOO SIMPLE (or empty she said)

She forwarded me a copy of the Job description and resume for my reference. Haha Thanks I (her name starts with I) Was told to do it on Tuesday when i only manage to lift my heavy fingers and laptop to draft a new one just now before lunch. I'm so lazy rite?

She told me to draft it as informative possible so as to reflect that i know how to handle a few task so that i receive a FAIR pay. Yalah! otherwise underpaid "ma cham"

haihss...anyway i wanna cabut liaw

traffic jam JAM JAM!!

the congestion on the island kills nowadays. Those travelling from the Province Wellesley take up to at least 1 1/2 hours to reach the Island if there was a massive jam.

The solution to it has finally come => Penang's second bridge and monorail projects given cabinet approval

and please refer to this link From Star Online

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/8/3/nation/15035546&sec=nation


But...

How much time needed to the completion of this 9th MP?

The current 13.5 km long Penang Bridge that stretches from P.W costs RM800mn (at the time of building) and took 5 yrs to a completion in 1985.

The Second Penang Bridge NOW stretches 24KM long from Batu Kwan to Batu Maung is estimated to cost RM 1.1bn)

A little bit more to finish is that it has a monorail system on the bridge. sounds interesting huh?

Oh well...then the 2nd Penang Bridge will replace the current Penang Bridge as the Longest in Asia ranked 5th in the world.

But how long will it take to complete? 5 yrs or less than tht? I really wish so.

But i have a concern here...( i shall come back later on the concern as currently i have some work to do)

ages ago

realised the last time i blogged was last monday.

but i dont find anything to blog about yet.

oh I just remembered. had a reunion lunch with a bunch of my high school mates the day b4. actually there were only 7 of us (7 tht's our number and what a coincidence). one thing difft is this time ALL GIRLS.

Lunch at Kocha and as usual i was there the earliest and those who is and will be late was late. They came at 1.30pm. I'm used to it but can they just be early? at least once? bah!

Let me say this to you here. To me if u are late for an event it implies that it has very least importance to you and you are not serious about it!

We were making so much noise in Kocha ( a taiwanese restaurant lah) that the boss came to us and told us to lower down our voice ( so paiseh and we left after tht)

We continued our "loud" plus "noisy" session in Coffee Bean Belissa Row. We were there from around 3 to 6.

Then we went into our separate ways before meeting each other back at 9 plus (which i was the driver who drove them up to Batu Feringghi) aiming to sapu some DVDs home. It was me only. They were all aiming for accessories. 3 didn't go with us.

And what's shocking is when we reached the tourist belt in batu feringghi...we saw a lorry right infront of the dvd stalls with the display table all lifted up *all blanks* with no lights . (am i describing it rite tht u get me?) So "sou heng" rite?

The authorities was just doing their sapuing job. Sapu-ed all the dvds before i could even sapu.

hmmm not much luck eyyy...

i guess i should be sleeping kinda early tonight cus i went to bed last night at 1 and i woke up with a sexy voice this morning.

*needs more water as bling got dehydrated*

Later Note: Not very early hey....it's 10.06 now. I should be sleeping now! when im not and im chatting on MSN. sheesh

Monday, July 24, 2006

heavy downpour

a heavy downpour yesterday morning started just before i roll out from my bed.

And then i only left the house at 7.20 when my sister needs to be in school at 7.30. THe journey to my ex-school is just around 20mins. When we reach the school area it was already 7.45. Guess i saw who?(only Colistrians know this) I saw Encik Rozaidi!! standing at the 1st porch giving instructions to cars going into the school compound to drive straight down.

hahahahahahaha.....He looks quite old now. With a pair of glasses. I could still remember the time when he first came to our school; he looks quite blur cus he was new and he was our Form teacher in 2Ungu. The naugthiest class in the year 1998! Fought in a Science project and apparently a group of us was accused of being the "ta jie ta" in class which lead to us ended up drinking coffee in the headmistress' office. Yeah i was one of them! And then in year 1999 a friend and i was transferred to another class separated from the other group of friends who was in 3 Ungu. I was in 3 Indigo back then.

But looking back at it now, i have no regrets cus i know i didn't do wrong. WE were and will be innoccent in that case in 1998.

Anyway....tht downpour cleared the haze out of penang's way. It was crystal clear with visibility up to 10km.

Fell sick yesterday and left work earlier at 3pm.

:(

hazey haze frustration

It's now 8.22AM and i just reached the office 22 minutes ago.

What i did was Setting up my PC, Updating the Ms Outlook, Read The Star Online and now on blogging. Haven't started working? More or less with this way too ancient laptop.

Anyway...

The renovation here on the 1st floor finally has come to a completion. and

We have new cubes on the floor. and

There will be some relocations of seatings. and

I'm kind of affected. cus

My upper level manager is coming to sit right BESIDE me!!!

Oh GAwD!

NO MORE

1) Blogging and blog hopping
2) e-news @ Star Online
3) SUDOKU!
4) Freedom


Sigh..............

Tuesday, July 18, 2006

oh nooo.......world's turning upside down

I thought the HAZE yesterday was worst.

Today's is A DISASTER

I wanted to snap a picture of the haze condition but i see no point doing it cus i can't even see the Penang Bridge from the Coastal Highway.

the visibility runs from 5km to 8.

It's feels damn stuffy and also feeling a little uneasy over the air inhaled in to my system.

What's worst on top of this polluted air is TSUNAMI is back!

Not Penang but a neighbour of Penang in one of the islands of Java. please please don't hit Penang again cus i don't want to be waken up from my sleep over a shaking bed.

Monday, July 17, 2006

HAZE IS GETTING WORST!!!
I can hardly breathe outside! It's so so polluted out there that until now the sun hasn't turn up from her sleep.
Can u imagine the severity of the haze?
It's Cloudy!
But...
It's NOT a NATURAL CLOUDY!
I don't like!
It causes eye iritation!!!

name revealed

I finally remembered asking my mum about the "Ling" which should be my name.

Instead of 龄 or 玲。

It should be this 伶。

According to her.. it's "Ling Li's " Ling. ( i hope the reader understands this)

Had such a yummy dinner last night. Went for the Famous Char Koay Kak on Burmah Rd. Then had the Ice Cream Fondue at Haagen Dazs. A good one and i only paid MYR15 for tht thing. Hahahahahaha......

Also yesterday, my upper level manager came to our cube with 6 small boxes. At that moment i had some thoughts. What is in the box huh?

And then i could see on the label that says

"Targus Defcon Cable Lock"

simply just a Laptop Lock for FREE. Give me a moment to check the list price on the internet.

*pressed Ctrl+T for a new Tab running om Mozilla Firefox and typed ap.dell.com and started searching*

came back with a dissappointment. I CAN'T FIND IT!

I guess it should at least be 25 bucks!

What should i do with it? Lock my laptop? The laptop that i used in the office is way too ancient to be stolen. No offence OK.

Lock my own lappie at home? Kinda stupid isn't it? Since i've got one that i dun even bother locking it, why do it now after i got this extra one FOC?

baka janai...!

I was talking to a friend on the Windows Messenger (internal msn @ office) and i told her she can stop looking at the 4 letter word if she resigns.

Don't mistaken the 4 letter word as F*** like how she felt OK?

The FOUR LETTER WORD THT i mean here is D-E-L-L! Whenever u click on the toolbar on your desktop u see the 4 letter word and if u do have this brand of PCs u'll know.

:P

destined to stay up north

Last weekend my parents went to the fortune teller miles away from home.

Why do we need to find fortune tellers? Of course there are reasons behind it.

I have no idea what my chinese name for Ling is . My dad said it is supposed to be this 龄 and because it was too complicated for me to write i was told from young to write this 玲. And then my mother said since they are heading towards south they might as well go to the Fortune Teller and ask which kinda "Ling" i am suited with.

And so they found out what kinda "Ling" that suits me that until now i have not made myself informed.

Why? Cus it's not very important here.

Most importantly is this. Fortune Teller said

" I'm destined to stay up north"

My destiny is that i'm only suitable to work in the Northern part of a place apparently. Which now makes a lot of senses. I'm not a very superstitious person i have to stress here but i have to believe what they have to say and what i see (otherwise where are the explanation? Someone please tell me why?)

1st.. This journey back to Sydney, my father did not have a look at the condition of the day on the Chinese Calendar (which usually he will). So i was badly injured on my ankle. (this point is to prove why i have to believe what the fortune teller said)

2nd..If i was able to work in the Southern part of the globe why did DIMIA coincidentally increase 5 points in April 2005 and why not April 2006 or even April 2004? (Best explains it isn't it?)

3rd..Been to a handful of interviews in KL and in the end most aren't successful. It's either i don't want the job or I failed their assessment tests.

In Conclusion

I can't travel down to KL, Singapore, Indonesia or Australia or New Zealand to get myself employed because i just don't have that kinda destiny with these places. So those places will sit on the list solely for travelling purposes.

So u might hope to see me moving towards the North side to Sungai Petani? Haadyai? Chiang Mai? Laos? Hong Kong? Taiwan? Japan? Korea? Europe? UK? or the US? We shall see how things goes?

And the other thing they asked was

What kinda husband should i choose? What age plus what zodiac?

*faints*

I haven't ask them either.

Well Well Well......given what the fortune teller said about me not suitable working in the Southern side. I will not give up cus who knows? Destiny can change as time passes by i believe. It could be that in the meantime i wont be able to secure a job? 3 years down the road if i try i might get one. Right?

team building dinner at Shang Palace

The Shang Palace























A normal table prep looks like this



















With my existence it looks like this























1st Dish of the Night. The "Little Monk Jump Over the Wall" or famously known as "Fat Tiu Cheong"


























Review:
The little white thingy (top pic) apparently is what they call Fish Maw. In overall terms i used to thought a Fat Tiu Cheong should come in big pot and not as watery as what i ate tht day

Rating: 5/10


2nd Dish : Cheezie Lobster

























Review: Doesn't Look tempting isnt it? Compared to this (rated 9/10)



















Rating: 4/10



3rd Dish: "Soon Hock" Steam Fish























Review: Reared fish and so it doesnt have much taste. Other than being fresh.


Rating: 4/10


4th Dish: Scallop with Cauliflower
























Review: Best dish of the night. Yummy with it's ultimate freshness and it's tender soft scallop

Rating: 8/10

Last but not least : "Suit Kap" for Dessert
























Review: Worst of all i have to say. The little why thingy tht u see is what we call the "Suit kap" and it's hard and not smooth. Unlike the one i ate the other time it was so smooth that it melts in my mouth that i can swallow it in a second.

Rating: 1/10


Overall:
I will not step into that restaurant anymore as i think the food served are not so excellent. (Should have gone to the Jade Palace Restaurant or Starview instead!) That few dishes comes to a total of MYR2152 after a 25% discount. Which means it's actual cost was MYR2869. I personally think it's a little bit overpriced. Over not the ingredients but the QUALITY of the food. Malaysia is not a good place to eat these kind of delicacies i came to realise. Comparing to how much i spent in Sydney having to eat Really Huge Lobster and Big Mud Crab i think it's so so much worthful and i have to say luckily we decided to go for the dinner in EAST Ocean. Thumbs Up!

when did you?

ITALY go rock the football field this Sunday!!

I remembered bringing up the issue of not sending my car for shower for 6 weeks. (back from Sydney for 1month plus 2 weeks)

And so i decided last night to bring "him" for a quick shower before my dad again bring him to his hometown this weekend. "He" should be quite clean after a quick one last night and who knows IT POURS THIS MORNING!

I was sitting right inside the car with great surprises or anger should i said it? If i dun wash it, the sun will be shining happily and if i do wash it, it will rain right on the next day or 2 days later. What the helll!

Let me dwell with this. Actually it's not easy to. About me being the light sleeper. Having to be one can be good like if someone break into the house you can call the police. (how mann times out of 10 a house can be broken into?) I hate myself being a light sleeper that even after a phone rang i could hardly sleep back. So last night what? I slept at around 2AM over my light sleeper-ness! SToooOpid! Yet another thing is that i hate myself being so PESSIMISTIC over certain things lately.

There's this long weekend ahead where Monday is the Replacement Holiday for The Birthday of the Yang Di-Pertua Negeri for Penang. Which is So GoOD cus i GET TO WATCH THE FINALS! The plan for the long weeked would be just World Cup Semi Finals and World Cup Finals. Cus i have no car to go jalan jalan....sigh

and just a reminder to myself and those who needs to be reminded.

IT'S JULY

ITALY WON!!!

Germany lose :(

Frankly...i like both teams. So whoever win or lose doesn't matter.

BUT don't let France win! *blek*

I thought today was Tuesday. I did not realise how time really flies. Honestly before lunch i thought i was still lying in the hours of Tuesday.

Just put on my initial on the Letter of Contract Extension with Dell. If things go smoothly i will be in Dell until 6th January 2007. A long time to go huh? That's when it marks my life 1 year after graduation! sigh.........

Updates of my ankle: I could see my veins clearly now! Unlike when it was swollen it looks like a "mi ku". Although there are still a bit of swolls left; at least i can walk faster now. Anyone wanna join me for a shopping spree this weekend? hahahah


Recent Joy
Other than the World Cup Mania there has been a recent craze about Superman. Hotlink presented me with a FREE Superman Ringtone and an Operator Logo. Everyone out there shares the same conversation about how Italy beat Germany and how Rooney was sent of by the referee such as even FIFA have no idea why a Red Card was issued to him. Besides that, the other same conversation shared is Superman! Because he's returning ...to the skies? No no...he's coming to the screens!

But i'm going to watch STAY ALIVE! this Friday with my team sekalian. And they have decided to go to the Trader's Hotel by Shangrila for the 5 course dinner. Eat what? I have no idea other than knowing that there's lobster and abalone. No more "Fat Tiu Cheong" for reasons tht i havent find out.

It doesn't matter anyway....

a 3 month old Imago

He is MiNE!






















Let me introduce you to him. Born on the 23rd March 2006. Name called IMAGO PGT**** (better don't disclose it here cus we never know how many stalkers there are out there) But it's damn obvious i shall say cus my car is the only one having the title PGT on the road. The rest are all after tht like PGU,PGV and now PGW and so on...bla bla blahh

Do get it right. It's neither Green nor it is Silver.
It is Green when the sun shines. (Day colour) and
It is Silver when the light shines on it. (Night colour)

Why he? Because i have to maintain *him* every month. take *him* to shower every fortnightly ( in fact i havent bring him to shower ever since i came back from Sydney) He is superbly full of dirt now. What to do wor? I have a fractured ankle.
