Rapid!!

Last week i was reading theStar online and the transportation ministry were saying that they are expecting RapidKL to take over the public transportation in Penang. There and then i wondered whether they will be naming it RapidPenang or RapidGeorgetown. The latter dont seem possible cus it's way too long a naming (even RapidPenang is already quite long unless it's RapidPG) to be painted on the body of a bus unless they acquire buses as long as those we could find in Sydney that goes to really outskirt places i.e French Forest. It does make good senses do operate that bus cus more often than not and without fail, commuters will squeeze into the buses although it is already full. It could be a good idea to run that kinda jumbo long bus.

And just today in the star online they made it public that they will be running RapidPenang by August. And later on introducing it to the mainland. It makes me wonder again what would they call it? RapidSeberangPrai? RapidButterworth? RapidProvinceWellesley(PW)?

God knows i'm blogging from my desk and now you know. I reached the office at 10 today. And it is lucky to not having so much workload accumulated from the weekend. And so practically i'm waiting for time to fly so that i can cabut.

Sometimes i wonder if i'm really that naughty. I seriously don't think so. Whoever reads this there's always a chance to rebut on the chatterbox. Why did i bring up this issue. Because...on the few days of CNY i was home all day for 3 consecutive days.

My dad asked "Not going out today?"
The daughter replied " Nope, nowhere to go"

A few hours later...
Dad: You sure you din go out today?
Me: YES very sure.

The next day
Dad: You sure you are not going out today?
Me: Yes very sure. Nowhere to go!

A week ago on one of the Saturdays.
Dad: You din go out today? Sure or not? I din see you in the house also. AND you parked your car in a different spot.
Already very agitated ME: Yes, I'm Home all day long and i was in the room. I parked the car in a different spot because in a shaded area.

See!! When you are good they doubt if you are really that good and when you bad they consider you bad. No exceptions.

my friend shared this poem

DONT

Dont care so much for me,

I may get used to it.

Dont come so near to me,

I may not be able to detach from it.

Dont put so much faith in me,

I may not be able to handle it.

Dont touch me the way u do,

I may not be able to get over it.

Dont become a part of my life,

Coz without u, I wont be able to live it.

Dont make me fall for u,

I may not be able to fall out of it.

Dont come into my life,

If u have to leave one day.

Dont give me the hope,

That its forever u r gonna stay.

Coz love is an emotion

I wont be able to hide,

When love isnt reciprocated with love,

It hurts deep down inside.

Dont start something

That I wont be able to end.

Dont make me believe

That u can be more than a friend.

Coz at the end of it all,

I dont wanna hear u say,

That, Im sorry,

but I never felt the same way!

The Gift Of Knowing You

There are gifts of many treasures
For both the young and old,
From the tiniest little trinkets
To great boxes filled with gold.

But, put them all together
And they could not stand in lieu,
Of the greatest gift of all
The gift of knowing you.

When your times are filled with troubles
Sadness, grief, or even doubt,
When all those things you planned on
Just aren't turning out.

Just turn and look behind you
From the place at which you stand,
And look for me through the shadows
And reach out for my hand.

I will lift from you your burden
And cry for you your tears,
Bear the pain of all your sorrows
Though it may be for a thousand years.

For in the end I would be happy
To have helped you start anew,
It's a small price to pay
For the gift of knowing you.

- Dave Stout -

Wish to express my gratitude and thanks to all my friends. I do appreciate your love, care and time. For all you have done has left footprints in my heart and all lies in within my memories. As nostalgic it can be, as always those that brings joy will forever be cherished. Thank you!

I had a great shock on Monday. The Director gave each of us a Box Of Mandarin Oranges.

And also this Pineapple Tart

Then we went for the 8 Course Dinner at Jade Blossom Crystal Point

The AngPow look alike packed face towel

One particular thing which i think it's quite Ridiculous ....is this Red Packet. Can see the LOGO?

At the time of blogging i'm feeling extremely hot ( got provoked). Not physically but emotionally!!!! Bloody Pissing off now!! YAh! It's always my fault. It's has become my problem that i didn't do it when the problem was solved by someone when i wasn't even given the chance! to do it!! I really hate all this! I could feel the anger as up high on top of my lungs. Need to SCREAM!!!!!!!

recent top track on the list

It was Vista Day in one of those days 2 weeks ago. MH won extra gifts and she spared me this Mug.

Reformatted Lappie comes with a default desktop.

Lychee Snow Melloww from Kim Gary

I was cleaning my room and i found this Choc Bar. That i promise i wont spoil the pic which also means i wont eat it has expired! lol...will maggots ever crawl out from there? *disgusted*

* This week was a tough week. Had a lot of work to deal with and i'm always tired. Dark circles forming without a warning alreadyy. Although working extra time does pays you lots like 150 bucks for 4hours but i think i get more satisfaction from my beauty sleep. And i still have to work till the last day of one day before CNY. I've never felt CNY so short before. For the past 21 years my CNY has always been from the 1st to the 15th when i'm always free at home. This time on the 3rd i have to start work! Freaking bored and short...arggh!

unbelievably truth

i was cleaning my room last night. which is so NOT me. Basically only cleared the bookshelf. The around 16yrs old 3ft high blue shelf suitable for Kindergarten Kids. I was a kid by then when my dad bought me that shelf. We've gone through a lot together. From our first meeting to getting thru Kindy thru to Primary thru to Secondary and now Tertiary and way beyond.

i found a few diaries of mine back in the 1997 when then Asian Financial Crisis hits the SEA Countries . I was reading just a few sheet and i felt so small tht time. So much so simple and what i wrote.

"Go to school....was late for school and didn't pick rubbish cus for some reasons not written clearly in my diary. Then ate Char Bee Hoon during recess time. Go home after that. Took a bus home. Watch TV and Do Homework. Dinner then Sleep!"

I could feel the sillyness of this diary entry. But when i read it, it felt funny and had real time laughing.

More often that not it's these small small things that reminds us of everything. Brought back the nostalgia. Which often left untouch in our memories when time passes by. Slowly and gradually we forgot about them. *erased* it is.

i often thought sensitivity does tell certain things in their own way. And usually my sensitivity gave me shit. More than half of the time at least! because usually the moment i knew it.....I realised it was a joke.

it has been long and when i finally have a grasp of everything and moved myself forward it came back. and it's always in this hours that i felt the same way. How things had happened and what!

Life' SAD! To some ppl Life's Wonderful. To certain ppl life can be very wonderful if they have food. Some thought it's heaven if they have someone who are always by their side. Some may think it's Great if they have Bestest Friends. Those are totally different expectations set upon. Have you ever thought what are your expectations? Work hard now earn money and buy your dream car ? a BMW 7 Series? hold a few landed title and wait for rentals to come in every month to fund your living? Retire young and rich? or have a decent family with 2 kids, 2 cars and 1 landed title?

Oh shit what am i talking about now. I think i swaying away. It wasnt what i wanted to say but since i'm here just let this be.

One unbelievable truth is When you feel happy at that moment you feel like maintaining it but at the same time you feel like it's crucial to seek the truth but once you found it the happiness could be gone. Isn't this a dilemma? A contradiction too...

I hope there are takers for this entry otherwise i think i'm turning to a weirdo in the house.

I feel like going to Paddington House of Pancakes. I miss the Treasure Box. This one. This one.

Somehow i feel happy when i see this.

not even close

i could rmb reminding myself to get smacked to move forward. havent really got any smack yet. more often than not we dwell in something that we can't actually dwell in. there's always 2 sides of everything.

ya ya...im back for a year already so what? Celebrate the day? The 1st Anniversary? What is there to celebrate. Time Flies ok? It actually means i'm one year older now. i admit how much i kept on pondering; ponder upon what which now we call the past and also the present. And recently it's more on the present and the future. Come March i'm in Dell for 1 yr already. Freaking blink 1 yr! What did i do? What i achieved? Nothing really.

The only difference i made in the past 1 yr is

- Slept less
- Ate less
- Worked MORE!
- Loose Weight
- Aged
- Stopped Caffeine Consumption (and i still miss my Flat White!)
- Earned my own Money and spend like there's no tomorrow and
- In deep shit!

I always wonder, what if out of the blue i was told something i don't expect. I would get the greatest shock in my life. I could be traumatised. On a contrary, if i werent told what i was supposed to know then how ever can things go on. So "Be Prepared" comes my Guide's Motto. Talking about guides, i miss my guiding days so bloody much!

Last Friday i was at bed Belissa Row with S. She told me that i'm contradicting myself. When you are contradicting yourself means you don't know how to decide lah! If i know then i wouldnt ask you rite?

Come hell or high water, i know this is how things should go and let's just follow the flow and see how we come to meet the ends.

Thinking of retrenchment. A friend's friend got retrench from an MNC and he got a huge sum of compensation which he could enjoy whilst getting a new job. Could it happen in the MNC that i'm working at? We'll never know...MNCs are unpredictable. Overnight, you wil receive NEWS may it be Good or Bad. It created 1200 jobs last year in Penang itself. I am one of the 1200. And it's now moving so rapidly that they are expanding not only in Penang but Cyberjaya. The CEO was here in the office last Tuesday for VP Award presentations and also grabbing the Datuk-ship title from the Penang Governor. Hmmm....it looks like it's moving so rapidly. What's more since it's moving so fast....i have more workloads! Many thanks to the rapid growing business in Asia Pacific! tsk...tsk...

need to get a smack and look forward

need to put on a thinking cap on how the road should be taken

need to be committed and not going off track

yah man...emo-ed

*****************

Just got back from Tao e-gate a Japanese Restaurant serving Buffet but only for dinner. So so FULL! It explains why i'm still awake at this time of the day. Blogging as if i'm off work tomorrow when in actual fact i'm not.

Come this Sunday i'm home for A YEAR. Could not believe that. And come March i'm in Dell for god knows 1 yr too. What difference i made in the past 1 yr?

==> ate more, worked more, AGED!!, FAT-ed!

I had a terrible shock this morning when i was on the way to the toilet. This lady was walking towards my direction and she was holding a set of handout that obviously she was reading while she was trying to walk. She merely bump into me and guess what she said.

" Opps!! SOLLY!"

:O *faints*

that type of solli which we only hear in markets. Imagine her talking to someone in the US. "Solli solli, i'm veli veli solli"

Proud working with her?

tsk tsk....i can't help it but if u were be me i am very very sure you cant stand it!

anyways......this is an unresolved issue!

i once received a comment "How do i know about her. She doest even talk about it" obviously the she is me lar.
Don't talk about it doesnt mean don't like. Have you tried asking or not first? Stop making guesses also!!
Don't like to talk about it is ABSOLUTELY NO NO. UN? I'm not even close to that.

Shit le.....getting so emo-ed recently. Need more desserts to de-stress. Kept telling myself to let it go but things is always easier said. Upset describe i am now. Usually at these hours i should be on the bed already but i don't feel sleepy as yet. Doubting if i could even go to bed now. Yah...nyek and nyek non stop.

out of randomness

Outside Takashimaya Orchard Road, S'pore

One of Ronald Mcdonald's Friend (obviously i don't know his name) came to Dell to distribute McNuggets

Half the toilet is found in the Monorail Station at "Sampah Thang" Stop. Guess who that man is.

My friend gave me "Oi Sam" Cookies for Christmas

my desk at work

On the double deck bus heading back to Penang after New Year's

hibernates

i reached home at 7 yesterday morning. Just in time to bathe and get to work during my usual routine. Unusually yesterday i spend half the day sleeping. Dragged myself up from the bed with shock at 1pm. That was like unbelievable. I have never waken up so late ever since duno when.

The Lion City and Durians for Sale

My Dinner at Vi'lage

From my hotel window i found this early in the morning. Yaya someone BBQ-ing for breakfast

Ben & Jerry's

I didn't know about this. BLING @ Vivo City

Last but not least. The queue for the SIA Cabin Crew Registration.

What i did for the past 2 days?
Lepaking around Singapore. Lots of walking. Basically Raffles Plaza, Orchard Road, Suntec City, Vivo City, Marina Square, Merlion Park and Esplanade.

Random thought....
Humans are weird creatures on earth i see it. We never appreciate until we lose it. Doubting if one should discontinue it. Get a life and do something! Sometimes i thought it may seems as it is but somehow or rather it isn't it. Things is easier said than done. Worst still when saying is NOT easier. Do we hesitate most of the time? Does it mean we do make full use of our brains?

need more time to rest

more blog entries to come a few days later about KL trip and probably the one from Singapore this weekend.

havent had the time to even catch a breath ever since i came back from KL

and now in just an hours time i'm heading to the Lion City.

last night i had a cocktail named Wild Orchid at Parkroyal Hotel Batu Feringghi. After that we went for a dinner. I had to drive home high on alcohol ( malibu,kahlua and many more mixed together, at least last night i felt quite dizzy after the drink and was feeling bloody hot all over) on the winding road. Prayed hard there werent any roadblocks. Otherwise i would need to test for alcohol level haha. So i landed home safety last night.

anyways...need to chao now to catch the bus at 10.

till then for more updates stay tune.

let them speak all

we had Hakka cuisine on NYE 2006. CY,KT and I. (3/7)

Ying Ker Hakka Restaurant @ The Curve. Look at the Queue. We were once standing there too for 10 mins

Jasmine Tea ( looks way close to Sake?)

"Fu Yu" Pork
Choy Sam

I forgot to take a picture of the Chicken. ( the high on alcohol chicken dish which KT cant stop drinking)

let it be interesting

*Happy New Year*

Wishing for the Best in Everything For Everyone

May it be Career, Love or $$. In Everything!

Christmas to New Year and "tang chek"?

Earthquake! and the Internet was down... Been trying to log on to Msn the whole evening. Finally im ON! Dismissed from work early today. Touch 5 and i'm packed.

Tang chek was a few days ago and the mother and the youngest daughter roll them up in "balls". What i did? Helping the father with some quotations. So i'm getting special exemptions by not rolling the "balls".

Last week we met up in school, yeah CLS for the alumni Christmas Dinner

I was just trying to pull tht yellow poll out from the ground. It wasnt there when i used to be in school. And my friend caught me doing this stupid act. alamak!

Christmas Eve was boring! Took some pictures though...guess might only post them up when my friends send them over.

2 more visits to the pancakes

I don't really rmb what is it called. This was eaten last saturday.

This was Wednesday's Dinner. Apple Fritters if i'm not wrong.

And this is Vienna.


The Open Air Car Park facing the 13.5KM Penang Bridge in Queensbay.

Updates about lately?
My usual hangout place for lunch is Queensbay. and...i have been so busy at work recently. In just these 2 weeks i worked 10hours of Overtime. Claiming extra $$ to fund my pancakes. Joking...

It's coming to Christmas again. This time Back in Penang. Friends organised a get together party in Gurney Place this Sunday night. Guess will be seeing a lot of high school mates. shall see if the countdown is still that hot in Gurney with Queensbay's existence.

After the KL trip i will be heading towards S'pore on the 6th. Have something really important to do there. Like what u must be wondering. Something like babysitting u know? Well i'll try meet friends there then cus i have nothing else better to do. Anybody wanna go to S'pore with me now? I will be there for 3 days. Any takers?

Wanna go to Paddington?

It reminds me of the Sunday Paddington Markets i went with my friends once in yr 2004.

i went again this afternoon. But it's The Paddington House of Pancakes. Different setting. It's in M'sia. Not Oz.

i know what im going to say may seem scary but, i went out for lunch at 11.30am. Back to the office at 2pm. Scary or not? Flexible working hours i have. Haha! Only don't know when will i get screws from my manager if i continue the 2 hours lunch.

you know how how yummy the pancakes are. Expecially the dessert. Ooosshhh...it's so so so NICE!!! And it's on Promotion everything off at 20% until 31st Dec. i'm going again this Saturday.

Happy Birthday

It is the 22nd Birthday of a friend of mine currently studying in the UK. He said " Thanks for remembering"

haiya...no worries..

must be wondering why my status depicts "dig your own hole and bury yourself!!". It is addressed to the person who pissed me off today or these few days. in fact i don't really hope to see that person again. sorry for being mean but can't help it. Could not tolerate someone who say they want to do something but ended doing nothing. NOTHING!

sometimes i don't know whether to be angry or not. Close one eye or what? It reaches the peak when they repeat themselves. Utmost important is not to say something which you can't do. As simple as that. Why give people hope when you didnt even take the initiative to do something. Move your ass! And this is worst cus it makes people look down on you. You can say you have all the mountains and oceans in the world but No Action taken to show a tangible.

I know you gave suggestions and plan ahead but YOU PLAN TO FAIL when you JUST SAY.

I HATE HATE VERY MUCH this kind of people who JUST SAY.

UN?

Got the message? Even a bit?
