Adopt a Christmas tree!

From day 1 when my social circle start expanding, most of the time I would be known or labeled as a "kind or good person". Sometimes I even get as far as a "gentlemen".

After many years of making friends and in the same time turning some into enemies, I start to wonder if coming of age does something horrible to this "kindness, goodness or even gentleness" of mine. Slowly, I discover there's something else within me that makes me wonder are those titles mine to carry in the first place.

Mystery of the universe huh? Not really, just a thought that occasionally hit me when I'm extremely moody. Either that or because the festive season is arriving. Some how big celebrations brings the worst out of me. I hate holidays and I hate festivals... times like these makes me awkward and out of place. Heck...

Any huuu, on a totally off note, if you want to get a Christmas present and you don't have any idea what to get and in the same time its been ages since you last donated for a cause... you can actually get one of these items below :

Wah so gold ar...

Wah red red like chinese new year ar...

They are Christmas trees decorated by One Academy student to raise funds for their graduation. Do support these bunch of talented and hardworking future designers, animators and even directors and give them a graduation that they won't forget.

Do let me know if you want to purchase one of those wonderfully decorated Christmas-sy tree.

Blonde and Cars...

A few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten.

We all looked at each other and another customer asked, 'What is a seven-hundred-ten?'


She replied, 'You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one..'


She replied that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been there.


The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like.


She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had its hood up and asked 'is there a 710 on this car?'


She pointed and said, 'Of course, its right there.'

Standby Mode...

Well, have been offered to be on standby technical support for the finance team last week.

Boss confirmed the deal and slight increase in my income. Wonderful eh?

Some how I am not as excited as I thought I would. Grateful to God for the offer, definitely. The allowance that I get from the deal is more than enough to keep me stay on working for the company for another year. But...

Anyhow, yesterday had another chilling session with some of my old mates. It's been awhile. Like Metal says, everybody is growing up, no time for gatherings, what more girlfriends? Can't say I totally agree to that but, maybe because I'm not as grown up as I'm suppose to be?

Need to start doing something purposeful and fruitful during Sats and Suns... weekends are getting way boring nowadays. Need to get some classes or exercises going on, feeling like a bum every weekend isn't really what I call boosting the ego.

On a lighter note, I'm getting a new phone and a new postpaid line soon! Thanks to my allowance.

Age of 23

Age of 23 is such an awkward age. We are neither fully a grown up nor are we still the young punks that we us to be when we were 18.

Experiences or even lessons that we have gone through thus far, whether rough or smooth, does not grant us the authority or even credentials to proudly declare that we've been through life and I don't really think that the younger ones should heed our sayings. At least not just yet.

As much as we can be talented and be excellent in our studies, work and so forth, I still don't think we have gone through enough to be giving life lessons to others. In fact, I would believe that many of us at this age are still growing. Some of us have purpose, some of us don't, but which ever category we falls into, we are still learning how to be a grown up.

But having all that said, I'm enjoying my age of 23 and am thankful that I can take things slowly work wise. It is pure blessings for me to be able to reach this stage of life. And I do pray that such blessings will extend for many many more years to come. And that my family will be blessed as well.

Just thought of putting this down. Nothing much, just a random post.

Updates...

Woah... it's been awhile since I updated this place. Anyhow, lets recap on what I have done during my absence.

Penang trip was a blast, definitely fun just eating, chilling and watching dvd. But sleeping on the sofa isn't a good way to rest... back ache...

Quest to buy a handphone for myself have not come to an end yet because the phones that I wanted to get turn out to be nothing great after all. But I am fixing my eyes on Samsung U700. Cool phone. Only cons - Priceh... whooping RM 15++.00

I want a new comp and a 22 inch LCD monitor as well! Either LG or Sony. But Asus looks promising as well though.

Been spending alot of time with my colleagues. What to do, its convenient since everybody stay so near. Besides, they are fun to hang out with.

I need to put my tithes into the offering bag!! It's been accumulating since few months ago! Argh...

Anyhow, have never felt so aimless before in my life up till now. Plans to work my way up from bottom crushed when the new jackass manager and his trustee idiotic sidekick took over the department.

Like Metal says, don't bite the hands that might control your future. I agree... but in addition to that statement, I would like to add "bite it after you got your future and surpasses them". ;)

Siah logging off...

Funny!

One fine day I would wish to be able to pull this off towards some clients of mine.

Heh...sooo funny!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is a true story from the WordPerfect helpline. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause."

Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee with a caller:

Customer Support: "Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"

Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

CS: "What sort of trouble?"

C: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

CS: "Went away?"

C: "They disappeared."

CS: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

C: "Nothing."

CS: "Nothing?"

C: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

CS: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"

C: "How do I tell?"

CS: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"

C: "What's a sea-prompt?"

CS: "Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"

C: "There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type."

CS: "Does your monitor have a power indicator?"

C: "What's a monitor?"

CS: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"

C: "I don't know."

CS: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"

C: "Yes, I think so."

CS: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."

C: ".......Yes, it is."

CS: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"

C: "No."

CS: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."

C: ".......Okay, here it is."

CS: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."

C: "I can't reach."

CS: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"

C: "No."

CS: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"

C: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."

CS: "Dark?"

C: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."

CS: "Well, turn on the office light then."

C: "I can't."

CS: "No? Why not?"

C: "Because there's a power outage."

CS: "A power... A power outage? Ah, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"

C: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

CS: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."

C: "Really? Is it that bad?"

CS: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."

C: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"

CS: "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

Back to back trip

Project: Room Transformation

Intro

The idea of making my room a little more comfy and adding a little more character to it have been in my head for quite some time. I think it is about time I finally start putting plans into action. Or at least start to plan and search for suitable items to replace some of the furnitures inside my room.

Transformation 1: The Desk

At the moment, the one thing I want to replace the most is my study table. Bought it since 1997, the first year of high school. Parents probably having hopes that I will one day be a scientist or a doctor... hmm... anyway, there's nothing wrong with my table but it is time to let my table go.

Here's a picture of my table:

Current study table

Can you see how much space is my table wasting? And it is not suitable to be a computer table because I have no wrist space when I want to type. And of course I want to expand my comp speakers into something bit more fancy. :)

Anyhow, I roughly had an idea of how my new table going to be. It should be a corner table that look something like the table below:

Sexeh new table!

Once I get something like this, gone be the messy wiring, gone be the little wrist space and here comes my sexeh new speakers!

Next Post -

Transformation 2: The Speakers

Sweet ride for the feet

Oh look! It's a converse plastic bag! hmm.. What is it doing in my room?

There's a pair of shoes inside!

Woohoo... mah new sexeh pair of Converse and its free! I love shopping with mom!

Heh... seriously, nothing much to post about, this particular post is dedicated to those bimbo-ish bloggers out there. We don't care about your new pair of bras or new set of steroids built biceps... >.<"

Life as it is - mundane. And I can't be talking too much about work because it will be a bore. New manager is still an ass, now there's an additional ass licking prick that have join him in torturing the daylights out of the unfortunate us. bla bla bla... can't wait to get even when I get the chance... IF i get the chance to... pffftt...

Hmm... I think I'll just play around with the new camera that my sister bought with her own allowance... basically mom will be paying for that too... lousy sister... don't know how to earn but know how to spend already. :P

Ciaozoo...

Addiction

Addiction in any form proves to be deadly.

It occupies your mind, your body, overall... your life.

What ever the obsession is, it does not matter, the only thing is that it will cling on to you to a point where you in return holding on to it like there's no tomorrow.

May it be addiction to tell a lie, addiction to games, addiction to alcohol... whatever form, addiction destroys life.

Have you had an addiction lately?

The girl who is precious were born...

Happy Birthday Kristy Tan Wei Shia!

May you get abundant and abundant blessings and then blessed others abundantly at the same time as well.

Have a great birthday! :)

The girl who went Indonesia...

Yo! All the best Karyn! :)

You would probably be busy figuring out where classes at, having culture shocked, preparing yourself for the ragging, and 1001 more other things you need to attend to over there. But if you read this then yup, sorry couldn't send you off. Would love to but work was hectic.

Anyhow, enjoy your stay while you are there. God still rules even though you are at a foreign land. See you this December if you are coming back and hope you will get to know your laptop better as fast as possible when your Dad brings it over. ;p

Heh... ciaozoo...

Dumb Lawyer's One Liners

Having a pretty mixed up feelings at the moment.

But what the hey, life goes on. Anyhow, bumped into few one liners that cracked me up a little bit. Hope you guys like it.

Lawyer: "You were there until the time you left, is that true?"

Lawyer: "Were you alone or by yourself?"

Lawyer: "You don't know what it was, and you didn't know what
it looked like, but can you describe it?"

And the best line any lawyer could ever give while in court would be this:

Lawyer: (realizing he was on the verge of asking a stupid
question) "Your Honor, I'd like to strike the next question."

Well its not all that funny but it is amusing to be able to think of some people you know of who often asks questions like these. Don't you think?

And I really really want to finish this game:

Timely Update

Been MIA from me blog for quite a while now. Busy with work and then busy with de-stressing after that. Come to think of it, I've been MIA from church settings for quite some time as well, not that I can help it. But will try making myself available.

It's been 1 year and 1 month working in IBM, I think it is time to change settings. Need job with more stress and more pay. But if I do leave IBM, only reason I will miss IBM tons would be all the friends that I've manage to make there till now. Most of them are similar age or wave lengths. Surprisingly, they allow me to be me.

What does that mean? Means that all of them does not force themselves to grow up but rather enjoy the process of being young and being an adult at the same time. It is definitely a mixed feelings and the perspective that they have while facing troubles or hardships varies. But in the end of the day, we still can gather and laugh at each other's childish acts.

Why bother being some one you are not just because some people that you know have tell you off when they don't even know you that well. I don't know, to me anything goes as long as I am alright with it. I don't have to be right all the time and I don't mind making mistakes and enjoy the process of growing up.

Sigh, with such good environment to work at but sudden change of management caused the whole team to go into a frenzy state of unnecessary stressfulness. I think on the last day when my threshold meet its limit, I will allow my distaste to consume me and give my 2 cents to the new manager. That I am capable of...

Oh well, I'm a rebel...

Dream Come True

There is this kid, whose name is Siah. This is a story about him.

Few years ago Siah had a dream, a dream to achieve Hyper Treadingness when he got his new Black Machina. But due to under budget, he can't afford to upgrade the firing rate of this Black Machina to Hyper Treading (HT).

All he need is a microchip and his sexeh Black Machina will be firing rounds and rounds of plasma rays with ease. He's been wondering for way too long to remember how long will he get himself an upgrade...

But it's all over now, all those times of day dreaming about the upgrade have come to an end. Now with the help of 512mb Kingston DDR1 RAM, the Black Machina fires up like smooth chocolate. Ooh... hotz... People meet the RAM :
I lover you RAM!!! 1GB babeh!

Employer vs Employee

When I Take a long time to finish, I am slow,
When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough.

When I don't do it, I am lazy,
When my boss does not do it, he is busy.

When I do something without being told, I am trying to be smart,
When my boss does the same, he takes the initiative.

When I please my boss, I am apple polishing,
When my boss pleases his boss, he is cooperating.

When I make a mistake, you're an idiot.
When my boss makes a mistake, he's only human.

When I am out of the office, I am wandering around,
When my boss is out of the office, he's on business.

When I am on a day off sick, I am always sick,
When my boss is a day off sick, he must be very ill.

When I apply for leave, I must be going for an interview,
When my boss applies for leave, it's because he's overworked.

When I do good, my boss never remembers,
When I do wrong, he never forgets.

Scribe Fire and Safari 3 Public Beta

Recently have been browsing through some of the add-ons provided by Firefox and accidentally bumped into a pretty neat blogging tool called the ScribeFire.

Basically it is a tool that allows you to blog as you browse. If you so happen to bumped upon a pretty neat site or some interesting information, you can easily just use ScribeFire to post it up to your blog.



The another new application I've been trying out is the Safari 3. Safari 3 basically is the internet browser made specifically for Apple before this but now they have made a version for the Microsoft Windows users. It is still in its Beta state though. But no harm to try it out.

The browser loads up pages and web applications slightly faster than the rest of the browsers available, the plus point is the silver-ish interface, it is Sweeet. Safari 3 really does loads faster by a few seconds which is pretty fast if you ask me.



Break time's over. Time to get back to work now. Have fun Amigos.
