Barriers of communication. Does it exists?

Just now while i was in the lift, i nearly giggled. Why?

Cause there were these two malay people, one male one female. The gentleman was talking in English, i would conclude that he has a good English background and would be able to speak fluent English. As for the other lady, she was speaking in Malay (Bahasa). We Malaysian do realise that we have multiple language that we can use, but these two person was talking in dfferent language on the same conversation. The gentleman kept talking in English meanwhile the lady was replying and communicating in Malay, this kept going on for few minutes while in the lift. It amazes me as this we would consider as 'Chicken and Duck Talk'. Haha...

My thoughts for today

Coming year end, but seems work is picking up, more than what i can imagine. Been alone in office these few days and has been pretty tired as lots to do, yet so little time. From today, there will be another 8 days until going into year 2009. What has been accomplish so far for year 2008? I am still pretty much in the dark of what has happen, looking into 2009 is not too much brighter after all.

Now i am just waiting for Christmas, but before christmas will be attending one musical show, Mamma Mia @ Istana Budaya which happens to be tomorrow. Can't wait to watch this smashhing musical show...

Then coming to Christmas, as usual to have Christmas Dinner meal, especially the turkey @ Sarah's place :) Not her cooking, but her mum... Thanks in advanced. What's more for Christmas? Nothing much, as this year is a busy year, as for Christmas day itself, i might need to provide support to PCSB customer as few rigs would be tentatively drilling on that day. Come on, give me a break :( Its Christmas... Santa, i want a worryless Christmas...Can i?

What is after Christmas? I plan to take a day leave on Boxing Day, so that can relax a bit after working for logn long hours for the past week. Been pretty hectic actually, so think this is the best time to recharge and at the same time to prepare for our Penang trip on 27-29 Dec 08. Will be driving up to Penang and look for few friends to seek their help to bring us around, those that i am targetting will be Chin Leng, Khai Chen and also Mei Leng.


After that, then will be new year already. Not sure what is my plan yet, as this year been pretty unplanned and the pretty gals in my team all have teamed up and took leave for this whole week, so it is not that easy for me to take leave. Lets see how it goes, hope all goes well for New Year, 2009. Hope all turns out well for the coming new year and hope all will have a great year ahead despite the economic downturn that affecting globally.

Friends as DJ?

Hmm...was listening to FLY FM this morning. They were having a topic on what surprise party that went wrong. Not the topic that interest me, but is the topic that i strike back and thought... "What do you think to have your DJ friends taking tales from our daily life and making it up as a topic"? One of the DJ were describing one of their ex-bf and how he reacted and etc. OMG, it would be fun to be listening to those jokes, but what if you in turn turn out to be in the story told? It would be of a total diffenrent story then right? Haha... just wondering if anyone else would have encounter this feelings before, not the feelings of being betrayed by letting go the story, just probably more to the embarrased i guess :) Anyway, lucky me, i don't have any friends working as a DJ yet :)

Stress + Friends + Wii = ???

This is what my friend is capable of :) Bravo ...

Sad? Moody? Depression?

I don't know why or how, but currently i am not feeling happy from inside out. Why? Not sure at all, just don't feel happy now. Perhaps due to my work life which is kind of bothering at times? Hmm... am i complaining or what? I am confused now actually, but perhaps i need time to think and get things straight for my life. Drastic change for drastic measures? Let me think...

Christmas Show in MidValley - Circus Theme

Went to MidValley the other day to get something for my office but end up having some shots there which were related to circus theme this year in MidValley. Below is some of the shots taken that day. Enjoy it :)



After shooting the event which lasted for about half an hour, i went walking and trying to seek for the dealer selling Izzi, but end up there was no more IT shop in MidValley that sells Izzi. So i headed up to LowYat to get it along with some other stuff that i need to get/stock up.

What has become of Malaysia?

Sigh, reading the newspaper can sadden me at times. I was browsing the NST when i saw this news article, whereby parang gang in Klang been slashing people, up to the extend to cause death.

http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Friday/National/2414103/Article/index_html

Now i wonder, what the police have been doing at that area? Similar gang operating the same way, what are they waiting for? Waiting for them to cause more harm to society? Please act now than later!!! What could be the best consequences for their action? DEATH!!! Why? Cause they have cause death themselves and also cause misery to other people while they go up high on drugs while trying to commit crimes like robbery. Robbery itself should not end up with death sentences, but robbery which ended up with death should eventually be concluded for those who caused the death to the victims. This is the only way to ensure that no crazy people go around town to cause havoc and such incident to anyone else.

Things coming to an end, Marks the beginning of the other

Coming to think of it, it has already been Sarah's last day @ EDS (formely known as SITI/Shell IT International). I was from there previously as well, before i join the company i am at now, Halliburton Energy Services. Hmm... thinking back, i was there for about 1 year plus and Sarah has been about 2.5 years already. Those were the great times that i had there back then, with Sarah, Khairul, Shuh Han, Wan Leng, Faizal, Hashim and Chee Lung.

Those were the times where we were building up the team and also setting all the procedure into its place. It was hard times, but we all poured in our efforts and also to make the best out of the tight schedule that we have. With the added new resources, the team grew in size quickly and more work to do for the team. However, more people means more issue and also more trouble, but those were able to get over with and then we were already enjoying the company of each other in the team. Those were the great and happy times, but it all came to an end when the company back then, SITI plan to outsourced to EDS. Hence, most of the people will find their own way in their career path. It all started with Khairul leaving us, then myself, later Christine and Suet Yi. Now it has come to the time for Sarah, later this week will be Chin Leng. Seems like 6 of us, have or will be part of the history for SITI AppsCompat Team.

Perhaps more will be leaving one day, but hope all will get a better career path in life, especially Sarah who will be starting her new job soon. Hope all goes well for her in her job and also have a pleasant sail ahead :)

Weekend coming ...

Its already Friday, weekend just around the corner. For me, it will be here in 2.5hrs time. So glad and happy. Wonder why? Cause this weekend, i will be busy preparing for my trip to Hong Kong, a 5D 4N free and easy trip. Hence, been busy preparing the itinary lately, so that to make the fullest out of what time we have there, to ensure NO REGRET!!!

This weekend also would need to start packing my stuff and also to get some winter clothing from my pal (to avoid spending unnecessary money) and make the most out of the shopping trip to HK as well. Still some more home work needs to be done, namely settling down with the itinary, money changing and also the weather forecast which is important... :)

On Standby Again...

Sigh, currently on standby at customer site for drilling. Pretty boring and sleepy as there is nothing much for me to do there, except to wait for time to pass and the driller to drill the hole. Hmm... how long it will take? The answer is ages!!! It will take about 8-10 hrs or more, it depends on a lot of possibilities. But the 8-10 hrs, would feel like a day or two as sitting still and doing nothing, will just bore me to max. No choice but to adhere with the customer request, will stay on. Hope that i get the compensation as i am supposingly, hope tomorrow i can take an off day since work extra hours today.

Boring me here, waiting for time to pass by...
