Misunderstood… :)

A month is nearing for the time spent in this new house… I must say it is a place where I seem to be able to just stay in doors and not even want to step out on the road… I just wanna stay inside and be at home… It’s not that good la since I’m new in the neighbourhood and all… I think I should go out and meet the neighbours… the immediate neighbours all seem friendly enough… the immediate neighbours to my left and right are chinese families… both are business people… we’ve not gotten to know each other that well either… we’re all working people and by the time we come back, we don’t really sit out side… my immediate front and back neighbours are indian families and somehow I have connected with the children of the family… he he he… see how la… it’s been barely a month in what promises to be a good lifetime in this home of ours…

Was at this training from 20th Oct - 24th Oct organized by the Training Academy of the Ministry of Higher Education (AKEPT). The trainer’s name was Dr. Ranjit Singh Malhi… for those of you who took Form 6 and used the Pengajian Am Text Book, this is the guy who wrote it… that’s why his name was so familiar to me… Met very nice people at the training… among them, Aelya, Edora, Siti, Nuha and Asbahan… to mention but a few… it was a good week to get away from the uncertainties at the office and also to meet new people… the people I meet here could well be part of my future…. these will be the people i keep in touch with and maintain as friends…

1 Week down the road and living in my own home is a great feeling… it’s like what some more I want to do ah… like cannot sit still… just wanna do something… but some times dunno wat to do… I think the king size bed is a bad influence on me… everytime i feel sleepy only… want to sleep… but the good thing about it is 1 wake up every morning really refreshed… this is a very good sign… I just set up my small aquarium yesterday… the guppies were sitting pitifully in the pail for a week and they were gasping for air before I started to set up the aquarium… poor fish… now it’s set up i’m sure they’re happy…

The weather had been rather good too…. nice and sunny in the day time and when it comes to the night, it rains… this is good so that the weather won’t be so hot when I go to sleep… my "office" at home not yet set up la… i’m taking my time to do that room up… in dilema whether to make that into a movie/game room… or just an office… mentang mentang got many rooms action la now….he he he tiao….

In this 1 week I have had three visitors… the first visitor is my "daughter" from my ENL 186 class from back in Dec 2001. A group of them used to call me papa and this was my class representative… she is the only who has still kept in touch with me all these years… She came with a British girl who is working as a volunteer at Rumah Faith and they came with a "surprise" birthday cake… So she was the first visitor… then remember my dad invited my cousin and uncles for a so called "house warming" that I didn’t even know about… and today 6th October, my bro in law with his wife and new born son came from Kuala Terengganu… they were going back to Sabah for a visit…

Verdict, every one that visited said basically the same thing…. "Wah… nice ah… big ah…" he he he… have to admit la… it is big lo… he he he but sorry to disappoint you ah… no pictures online…. he he he dangerous leh…. ok la that’s all for now… till later… chiao…

28 Sep… a day to remember… moved in to my own house on the day I came into existence that many years ago… sigh… what a rush… it’s really a good feeling… You know one of my best buddies said that once you have a kid, you will not be able to wait for the time for work to end to go home… damn… I already feel this way with my new home… I wonder how I will feel when my kids come along… sigh… even in the morning also to wake up from my new kings size bed also very very difficult… ha ha ha …

Another long time never write… actually a lot has been happening in my life but I just can’t share it here… never felt comfortable sharing it here… i started another blog just to keep as a diary and make it a record for my self to read… nobody has access to it as it has to do a lot with work and the type of fucking crap i sometimes kena from insecure people…

I also will be moving into this house that I bought… it’s considered a steal for the type of reno the ex owner has done… but to me, it’s my biggest financial adventure of my life… more than 200K worth… double storey terace house fully renovated in nilai… sigh… there, finally it’s out in the internet… i’ve not told many people at all about this… my parents only got to know about it after i settled the SnP… and other people only got to know it because there was no other way to hide from them… but a feeling of pride has come over me to be able to achieve this… i know i know… it’s not mine yet… in fact it won’t be mine till 30 yrs from now… how old will that make me? 63… wa tiau… no no actually i won’t take so long to pay it off… i plan to complete it faster than that… how much faster, i can’t tell you yet… currently so many things are going thru my mind, i find it difficult to focus…. work crap and moving house… i not yet  even go to JBA and TNB and Indah Water to change name and pay my deposits yet man… aiya even the Majlis Perbandaraan also… tiu… there you see… how much things need to be done…. ya ya ya i know… this is my first experience with a property… i know it won’t be my last… but let me have the chance to learn la… it’s a new learning curve man… sub sale not bought from developer… got many things to learn…. parents some more kacau tell you where to put the furniture and stuf….

ok la till here for now la… later…

oh ya oh ya… wah … finally get to sit down and watch a nice football match… this time with my aunty from Bradford lagi… she’s down here for a holiday and we watched the match together… She’s an ardent Man U supported as are all my uncles and aunties on my mothers side… and me, a Liverpool supporter… so we had this friendly bet of RM5… we were at dinner when the match started and did not know the score until my friend messaged me that they had scored the equaliser… i said WTF? equalizer? upon reaching home, I switched on the TV and there it was… they were showing how Van Der Sar kua pushed the ball into Wes Brown’s feet and gave us the equaliser… wah liao… my auntie was cursing …. and i was laughing all the way… then on came our Super Sub Babbel… and to prove this nick name again, he scored our winning goal… but thanks to the hard working legs of Mascherano and Kuyt… Kuyt should have scored at least 2 goals but sigh… can’t make it…

Keane

I’m now against us spending the freeeeeaaaaking 20 mil pounds on the faggot Keane… what the heck… not scored a single goal to my liking, and really running all around like a headless chicken… bugger…

again… getting a bit depressed thinking about this Keane… stop here first… got to get back to work…

As usual, I’ve been away for a long time from this blog… actually scared to write as sometimes I am am damn emotional and strong worded as you might have seen from my posting on the petrol price fiasco that the gov did in June… and now on the eve of 916, I am writing again…. it’s been 6 months of increasing manouvering by all parties and we are becomin a joke to people outside malaysia… sigh….

I had a nice read of two blogs (of my friends) that I always read. Its nice to read on the happenings in their lives… I’ve also been reading other blogs which sometimes get me thinking and make me scared… bugger… how can u imagine the country that you were born in calling you a bloody pendatang… we were born here how can u call us pendatang…. but then again the real PTI are dropping babies here in our beloved country… do they get citizenship? do their children call our beloved country their own country next time? … go to Sabah and see this… are we to be taken in the same light as them? i think i better don’t continue la… tired of all this crap… see la some other time got nice things to write about or not… ha ha ha

Wah, when nothing, nothing happens… When some thing happens, all happen at the same time… this is wat I am going through at the moment… so many things now… need to prepare for training next week… need to go and see the director of a division of the company to brief him on what will be happening, and then need to go and prepare the props, and then need to …. wah my head pain liao… I came out from the hotel at 10am this morning and there has been no rest until now… and later I got to go to the car park and then drive back home lagi… damn… tomorrow i’m going to declare my own public holiday… he he he….

and also the stupid mechanic… set appointment to install my NGV in my car already… when I called him just now… he said no more tank la… the tank he got now too big for my car la… cibai fella…

now dunno when I will get to fix the fucking NGV… sigh… my laptop battery also got 40 mins only left… now at the airport… 30 mins more my flight boarding… then get to go back… next week another busy week… this week also a busy week… tomorrow got training again… 6pm - 9pm… next week after this training need to go to KL somemore to put up the night so that the next morning don’t need to drive to the training venue… then we will finish about 8pm … got to drive back to Nilai lagi… sigh… heavy load…

Phew, what a long weekend. It started on Friday 11th July when we had our Senior Management Dialogue. I drove up to Genting at 8.00 am and reached there a little after 9.15 am. The sessions were ok… normal and I did not say much. Only when it came to the topic of international students… he he he …. Meetings are meetings and there is nothing much really to explain about it. It was my first time as a participant in the Senior Management Dialogue but it was not a big deal for me because I know all the members of the Senior Management Dialogue. In actual fact, I was also asked to present a paper the day before in the Presidential Council Meeting, most of the members of that meeting too are in the Council so it was nothing new to me. I just wonder if I would be involved next year. That evening was more fruitful than the meeting as I had time to sit down with some of the principals from associate campuses to talk about business…

I find myself now talking more and more about business these days… I guess being in charge of this subsidiary forces you to talk and think that way. I am afterall responsible for the bottom line.

Bottom line… wow… since when did I learn how to use this word? In the past 1 year for sure… Ask a normal employee and they may not know what that is (if they are stuck in own little tempurung).

The next day was also a continuation. It was the Strategic Camp for us and more colleagues joined us from the various campuses. Again the days activities revolved around discussions and papers which I found myself not participating much in… I was assisting the Genting campus in controlling their PA system in the technicians room… jadi technician la konon…. and so my mind idled along… at night however, the topics totally did not relate to my subsidiary and another subsidiary… thus, the people from that subsidiary and myself took the liberty of excusing ourselves and going up to donate some money to our late "Uncle Lim". My colleague donated some to him but I was lucky enough to get some donations from him… and so we went down again to the campus after 2 hours.

Upon reaching the campus, I heard the sound of people singing… YES… they were singing and I wanted to join them… So, from about 10.30 pm till 1.30 am the next day, we spent our time singing our lungs out…. (so much so that I found out the next day, people in the surrounding areas were wondering what was happening… ha ha ha) I really enjoyed this time round….

As a summary…. this was an enjoyable and fruitful camp for me as I really managed to get the attention of most of the principals so that I can work with them. This means if they totally agree with my proposal that I would be travelling more often maybe to Sabah and Sarawak this year.

Also I met colleagues from Sabah and was so happy to find that one of them iws a Kadazan. It was so sad that I only met him on the last day. Otherwise it would have been good to have spent more time with him… ha ha ha … Miss all my Sabah gang… sigh… anyway, it’s ok… I’ll be going back there soon… ok la that’s all for now… Cheers…

actually i have this friend whom we contact via msn and blogs… however it’s been ages since i last red this friend’s blog… like a totally new person already… this friend found Jack Ko… and is now a very happy person… I would like to congratulate this friend of mine… and want to tell this friend to enjoy life… I will start reading the blog again… seems like a nice story book to read now… see la if this friend reads this message or not…
