Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Kee Hon, Happy Birthday to you...

My good friend, Kee Hon celebrated his 25th birthday on the 27th July 07 (270707) that is on Friday. By the time he reach KL, it is already an hour or two where his birthday was to end, we let the two couple to have a good time together instead. Wish him happy birthday and guess his dreams came true this year as i can see his happy face once again. Bravo to him and he does deserve it.

Yesterday celebrated his belated birthday at Winnie's place. We played my PS2, those who were there was Winnie, Sarah, EeVern, Me and KeeHon. Few can't turn up because they were not available on the day. We meetup at about 4pm, after my haircut :) Then played with the PS2, challenging each other until our stomach was near to Empty status where we went to have Thai food at Pandan Perdana. Wow, the food there was great and considered cheap where EeVern did say she would like to bring her parents there to eat too. Great introduction by Sarah :)

After the dinner for 6, went over to Winnie's place but before that, we went to Secret Recipe to get few slices of cakes for KeeHon, how could birthday be without birthday cakes?

Reach Winnie's place, i had a good fight with JiaVern. Yeah fight i mean, with PS2. Haha. She lost for sure :) We had the cake about 10.30pm and by 11.30pm, we were leaving her house already as we have been tired out already.

It was a good day out with the whole bunch of us. Some photos were taken as you can observe below.















Just some of the highlights of the day, most of them lies deep down our heart :)
Happy 25th Birthday, Kee Hon

Cycle for Health and Fun

It has been a tiring day yesterday as I attended my company’s Annual Dinner at the KLCC Convention Center. Ended quite late and eventually reach home quite late which resulted lack of sleep. But since we are having an outing to the Taman Pertanian for a cycling outing, I could not resist and join along, hence I have to wake up early and drag myself to the HQ by 8.15am. Not to forget, Sarah need to be chauffeured too.

Reach there, had breakfast with my friends, had some Dim Sum at the nearby shop. At least it was something before I start my day as last night dinner was not that filling after all but just don’t have the time to drop by any place for supper.

Started the journey at about 10 minutes to 9am and it was drizzling when we were approaching the Shah Alam. Reach there, seems like a lot of people as we can see a lot of vehicle is there, much earlier than us. We reached there was about 9.45am where the park has only been opened for about 45 minutes.

Reach the bicycle stand, it was already left with 12 bicycles as the AM Bank were having their activities as well, they took most of the bicycles. Leftovers were of a lower quality, but if we were to think more, I don’t think there would be any bicycle left for us. So we took the number of bicycles available.

The whole thing might not be going too well as there were much waiting, delay and etc but it was a nice outing too. Can’t expect all things to be perfect all the time and sometimes, we just go to do with what we have in life. Reach home at 4pm and crashed down for 2 hours of quality sleep before I proceed to my next activity which is to dine with my parents as I have been going out quite frequent lately, hence need to spend some time with them too.

As for those photos during the trip, it will be uploaded later.

D' Dinner Day - 21 July 07

As i volounteer myself to be one of the volounteers for the Reception for my office Annual Dinner at KLCC Convention Center (21-07-07), i have to be there early as requested. We, the volounteers were supposed to be there by 5pm for a quick rehearsal before the real thing starts.

I picked up Sarah from her house as usual and headed down to the KLCC Convention Center. Not sure where the parking for the Convention Center exactly, hence i called up EeVern to ask for directions. Manage to reach the place on time, despite the uncooperative weather. Parked at a nice spot, considered a nice spot but things may be so dissapointing eventually. Will tell more later in this entry. Opps, forget to mention that i parked my car at about 15 minutes to 5pm.

Since we were early, we sat in the car and had some chat while listening to some music. Didn't want to go in too early and start doing things before the time comes. I sms to Sok Chin to ask if she had reach the venue, 15 minutes were her answer.

When the clock turns 5pm, we decided to proceed to the venue, where at the Ballroom 1 and 2. Once i jump into the lift, i was lifted up to the 3rd floor, where the ballroom were. Impressive i could say. Snap some photos here and there, she and he and etc. Will show more photos later as some of the photos is still being edited for better view.

It was an enjoyable event, had a great time. Also had the opprotunity to see most people to wear smart and not the same old faithful t-shirt and jeans as how we see them at most of the time. Had the last opportunity to snap some photos with some of the interns that we have throughtout the past 8 months. It was sweet having them here, despite some attitude problems. Regardless of that, they are okay i guess.

After the dinner, saw some auctioning of painting for a good cause. Ended the day with a comedian show for our laughter. About the lucky draw, i was not that lucky on that night, guess i was lucky already :)

After leaving the ballroom, proceed outside to shoot a lot more photos with our team members. Will share out soon. Then departed the Convention Center after paying RM17 for the carpark for the lousy place that they have. They were maintaining the fire sprinkler system and somehow some weird thing or substance drip to my back windscreen and created a patch on it. Gosh. Send Sarah home and then i went for a car wash to get rid of the spot on my back mirror. Car wash at that time? Who was going to do it if not myself? Haha. After an hour of intense scrubbing, manage to get 99% of it away, jsut 1% which were so stuborn that i decided to give up as it is turning late already and i need to wake up early tomorrow for my outdoor activity which need me to have sufficient rest.

More photos to be posted here soon.

Shopping spree - Annual Dinner 2007

It has been a long week, indeed it started from last week when me and Sarah started hunting for our dress code for the upcoming Annual Dinner 2007 for Shell IT International. The hunt was long and winding as we were choosy ourselves. We hope to find something that we love wearing and that it could potray the best of us.

I was choosy indeed, for a guy. Thought will do away with the shopping and just wear the blazzer that i have bought previously. But i was so attracted to the casual blazzer at Soda and decided to start my hunt for it as my journey to the Soda gave me the hope yet at the same time presented to me the biggest dissapointment which was due to NO SIZE for me. All i ask for is a size 'S' but they only have size 'M' and 'L' which is not suitable for my delicated body.

My hunt continues to find the ultimate replacement for the Soda blazzer. Guess you won't believe this, i even ended up at Genting, hoping to find my dream casual blazzer there since Genting have a colder climate hence to have those kind of blazzer is quite common. But my journey up to the hill for the blazzer ended up with dissapointment too.

Few days later, got the chance to walk about in MidValley with Sarah, as she is still looking for some clothing to wear, as undecisive as me. I so happen walked in to G2000 blu and there i saw this casual blazzer that i was looking for. There was discount, after discount would be about RM230 but since my hunt end there, might as well i get it as a souvenir for myself. Guess i need to reward myself at times and i am happy again.

Boring day

Just came back from a trip, thought could at least recharge myself for the coming month, but it seems I was wrong again. Why? Things has not been going smooth for me. Before I left for the trip, my car front window was cracked by a stone while on the way back home. Then realize that my driving license expired, not the same day, but expired for about 3 months already. Gosh and how was I going to work you asked? Drive.

Came back from the trip, still have the tiredness in me. Not well rested, but the trip was a nice one. Came back, things has not been going too well too. As in office was ever changing, things would be impossible to settle down and so much of changes over the week. Can’t believe it. Dreadful to talk about it, just never ending if I were to continue.

Sigh, just feel not happy now. Gosh, life sucks.

Unfamiliar working environment

After moving back to the normal working hours, it feels good to be back, but it seems that it would be quite hard for me to wake up in the morning and also hard to sleep at night. So these days, often feels sleepy in office. As for office duties, not so hectic lately as not much work, perhaps can say that my work scope is not fully define yet hence mostly still lost. Anyhow, it is good to go office while waiting for off work.

Sleepy and drowsy now. ZZZzzzzzzzzzz

Shift work no more

Month of June has already ended. This may seems a good news to me as it represents the end of my shift working days. My shift duties have lasted for about 3 months already and it was this day that i am finally relieved from it. It may be a good news to me, but may not be the same for some of my team members. Why? The phase 1b support phase has been extended for another 3 months, where it is exactly how much time we were suppose to have supported the tester. Perhaps they are taking they sweet time to test, or they are not efficient as how we think they will be.

Anyhow, it would be back to normal working hours for me where i would be having back my flexi hours but normally i will report for duty at about 8.30am and normally will leave at about 7.00pm. The positive side would be that if i am in the mood for work, i can stay longer, but if that day not seems to be such a bright day, then i could at anytime leave early.
I would be looking towards next week as i would be able to return back to my normal life. I can have much more control of my life. Cheers...

Circle of Life

My circle of friend consist of a few good friend where we were brought together by fate. Why we commonly call our self a circle? The reason is the way how we communicate and care for each other. We tend to share our thoughts, laughter and also secrets together. It is weird as the three of us have the chance to meet together and had the same frequency to hang out together despite our different background. We never studied together or knew each other when we were young, but somehow we manage to go against all odd.

All would says that the circle consist of the three of us. Is that really true? To me, it actually consist more than that. Ever wonder how to draw a perfect circle on a piece of paper? You can draw a circle using freehand, even a small kid would know how to do this but would that circle be a perfect circle?

No it would not be a perfect circle. I remember my art teacher once told me, to draw a perfect circle, you would need to have a mid-point and from that mid-point the circle line can be drawn from the mid-point. With this, the circle drawn would be perfect, without much jagged edge.
The three of us have been a perfect circle all the while, but the reason why it is so, it would be due to the middle dot in the circle where it ensure that the circle line is at the correct length. This dot refers to one single person that have co-existed with our circle. So the truth is that our circle can be seen as three person, but if we look closer it actually consist of four person. Without the fourth person, how would the circle be at the first place? It may not even be a circle after all. What if the circle looses the mid-point?
