Since Payperpost.com has came up with their new terms, I'd figure I make some disclosure policy so I can cut some slack on telling everyone who pays me what.. blah..blah..blah..

Hello? Hello?
I was suppose to post something else but since I'm dead bored well no harm in doing something else.
For my friends who love MySpace, hunny this post is going to be your favourite. I got this new site, Check it out here where you can create you own avatar and own pre-recorded voice greeting and load it up to either your mobile phones or MySpace.
I'm trying them right now and you should try the pre-recorded voice "OMG", "Your Mom part deux" "Craigslist" and "Hicks".. their cute!! Can't decide the 1st or 2nd cuz the latter sounds like a part taken from "White Chicks". Their avatars are limited but at least you can add and edit them although... Hey!! They got cute hair for the women!!
Lets see... Easy filing for MySpace users and simple input numbers for US Residents. Great.. Although it would be nice if they can load it to international mobile phone users. Then I'll be loading them onto my phone. Imagine! A voice from "Craigslist" ringing everytime someone beeps me.

Thunder Crash
19th December 2006
Pic is taken during my B-day at Isetan around 6pm. Look haggard don't I? From right to left: Lisa, Jannah, ME!!
I was suppose to post this up lastnight but my telephone lines along with my internet cable smoked out. I think the thunderstorms and unpredictable weather is causing this mishap and for once I'm not putting any blame on them. But then... Shouldn't they have a back up AC-DC rectifier to load in case this things happen? Hmm...
Anyway tonight there isn't any power supply cuz the TNB is going to do some maintanence from 5pm to 12mid so I guess I'll be having a candle light dinner tonight.
I'm still refreshing my brain on my Tajwid and all the past Islamic lessons I use to take. I have forgotten how tough it was trying to Hafiz all the Surah in the Quran. Well at least this new hobby of mine is keeping me busy, for a little while.
Heard that Indonesia is wrecked with 3 earthquakes. Hopefully everyone is ok there, but I doubt so. Perhaps this event is the cause of the weird behaviours my fishes have been behaving. They don't wanna eat, keep locking themselves to the sand-bed and jumping out of the tank.
Hmm.. I'm feeling hungry.. wonder what's for lunch... Oh yeah read that Payperpost.com new terms, disclosure. So everytime I write a post for the advertiser, I gotta tell the whole world that the post I'm writing is sponsored by them, at least its better than telling everyone how much I'm earning from the post. *snickers

Reality Show any1?
So here I am once again straining my eyesight and my brain on what to do with the company's website. After marching through the wet and more wet monsoon season terrains of JB, I finally managed to get myself into my warm and comfy office.
Currently taking a break on my work and so I decided to pop into what Payperpost is currently loading. Hmm... They finally got their reality show on their company, episode 3 up. (sounds like The Star Wars Eposide 1.. *snickers)
How I wish I have an office like theirs.. sexy looking Flat LCD screen (it looks like Apple LCD) and sadly Ted's figurine outnumbers mine.. I'm re-running the video now actually and.. is that a pumpkin I'm seeing on the guy's table or is my eyesight playing tricks on me again? (>_<)"
Let me pause the video and... YES! it certainly looks like a pumpkin to me.
You can view their video on their office here " reality tv "
Its actually a nice short clip and certainly better than my running comentary video I took during my sis's wedding... hehehe..
Hmm.. why is it they have such a limited downloadable goodies? Someone really should do something about that wallpaper goodies. It doesn't look desireable to me but most porbably they're too busy to even notice..
Is anyone even reading what I'm ranting about? *snickers

Christmas counting down
Christmas is a week more!!
Oh great... And I still haven't decided what to get for Aunty Grace since she did got me presents for my B-day. Hmm... still deciding..
And since Christmas means I need to go around wishing my friends all around the world, a certain site draws my attention: Pingo.com. The prepaid calling calling card service has very good rates that beats my service operator I'm currently using on my mobile.
Look at the rates! A call from Malaysia to Singapore is just 7.0¢ in using Pingo.com Brazil calling card rates while the charges I'm currently charged by my mobile service provider is USD1.00 per min. The difference!
AND!! and the best part is when you sign up with them, you get a free USD5.00 in free calls. The usage of this prepaid calling card service is very simple with no hussle, just use their designated Toll Free number in the country you are calling from.
Need more info? Don't look at me! I'm not gonna spill all the beans on the site. Check it out yourself!! (^_^)

Yawns.. (-_-)"
15th December 2006,
Tummy ache.. I got a tummy ache all cuz of indigestion I had last night.
Today had another nice trip to my beloved 'girlfriend', the company's auditor. Just going to even take documents from them drains 5yrs of my lifespan. I hated going to see my beloved auditor simply cuz they remind me of the stress I went through every year to complete and proper the accounts.
Now I'm once again facing my computer and thinking of ways to relax my bloodshot eyes. Yes, hunnies my eyes are strained and bloodshot. Last night went to buy trumpet over ebay for my fren. Haiz.. Well at least its not my money I'm paying it with... hehehe.. But the trumpet is really nice. Lacquered in black, looks really sleek.
Anyway I finally got time with my beloved books and re-reading my Fotress Darconis by Michael A.Stackpole. His writings really make me feel as if I'm part of the flow, blending in with the characters.
Too bad his books are hard to get around here.. Ok gotta go back to work now.. C ya!

All Smiles...
I got itchy hand, itchy fingers and itchy brain... *grins
I'm all bursting with pent up energy! And here I am with another topic to talk or should I say rant about.
ads on blogs
I'm not sure if all of you ever heard of Payperpost.com or not. My elder brother was the one who referred me to them and although I was suspicious at first, after trying out and blogging topics on Payperpost.com, I'm happy to inform that I'm a few dollars richer. *snickers
Payperpost.com pays us to blog hunnies.. yes earn money ($) while we rant and blabber our thoughts out on the topics they came up with. Although a few dollars per approved post doesn't seem much now but it certainly earns me some pocket money. The money you earn will then be forwarded to your Paypal account. Simple and easy!
They have plenty of topics or Opportunities, as what Payperpost.com calls them, so we'll never be able to run out of topics to rant on. It's better than the usual "earn the Ca$h-ing (Cash-ing) ads" we are so used to read from the internet. Payperpost.com make you work for your earnings and not pray for unexpected readers to accidentally click on the Pay-Ads.
Of course there are certain rules you have to abide to but that's what makes this site so challenging. A few years ago, I had thought writing and composing stories will get me nowhere and wouldn't even dream of getting a few cents from it. But now... *sighs happily..
Now I'm earning it!! ahaha.. some spare cash, got some new people reading my posts everytime I post and the best.. I get to rant! hehehe.. So love Payperpost.com

Watch your mouth..
13th December 2006
It must be an "it" thing these days with kids. They seem to just blabber almost anything and everything they have in their mind be it spontaneous or planned without caring about the people around them. I've been watching and observing kiddos (idiotic teenagers who doesn't know the meaning of manners) acting rowdier by the day.
I myself am having some problems with my own siblings in putting a stopper into their blathering mouth. I still remember those times when we kids were still god fearing and respectful to our elders and people around us. Even to the last words and actions that were used were filtered in respect.
But kids these days... Just yesterday I saw a youngester screaming at his mom in an angry tone. I wouldn't be surprised if suddenly a bolt of lighting streaked down from the sky and fry him. Too many idiots trying to act as if they are creators of everything and the main banker.

Chatting.. chatting n More chatting
I was browsing through Payperpost.com again and finally I got a topic which I'm so comfortable with, Chatting online.
Link: chat room or if you can't access to the site, just copy and paste the link attached.
chat room
Chatting is like an everyday occurance to me. Its a good way of communication especially when you are trying to converse with a person who is a few hundreds kilometers away and your pocket is having a huge hole.
In my hectic business line, online chatting is a must. The usual topic that is covered during these chats covers large area and to have a back up copy of what was conversed upon is a must since it comes very handy especially when the other party tries to take advantage of you.
After days and weeks of chatting endlessly, trying to please each other with the best deals, most of the time, we ended up having new friends and sometimes new good friends, which is very rare. I once have a chatter who actually sent me condolences bouquet of flower on hearing my close relative passing.
Since I'm posted to Malaysia, I use chatting online as a good way to keep in touch with my Singaporean friends and family. Good thing that technology keeps upgrading else I think I'll be broke when the phone bills have been paid.
All in all I've been using three different internet messengers and endless chatrooms. Since my internet connection is just a click away, I'm constantly online and chatting.

B-day Balloons..
12th December 2006
I was suppose to load this thing up a few days ago but I keep pending and pending and pending.. (>_<)
I know some of you must be yearning to know what pretty little things I got for my B-day. Unfortunately I didn't get any cute balloons that I had my eyes on.. hehehe..
Although I got a few unexpected presents from my close family friens, Aunty Grace. I got a Kooklai ladies bag, or whatever the brand was that cost more than my day's pay, and a lovely orange Thai Silk shawl. Up to now I'm still pondering on how she knows my B-day. Perhaps she kept a diary on all of my siblings B-day since she was there when everyone of us were born. (^_^)
Then I hang out with my Doverites pals that was so crazed about Ayam Penyet which turns out to be a simple dish that even my younger sister knows how to dish out. Its basically Fried Chicken (Tumeric powder, salt, pepper ), Sambal Belancan and the local Ulam veggies. Not worth my $5.50/dish.. certainly not worth it.
Then I was late for my B-day dinner with my sis and her family at Swensens T-2. Great food although I can't understand why they put in Ba-Choi veggie and sour cream mashed potatoes. Its not a good combination with my sirloin steak, horrible combination. No doubt the steak was good, really good but why the weird combo?? still don't get it...

My fish is swimming!!
1st December 2006-- 8 more days to go
Its 8 more days to go before I can officially watch R.A movies.. *snickers*
Anyway I went experimenting in the kitchen again. This time its with a grouper. I went gallavanting with the poor fish at 4pm. Anyone who wishes to note down my recipe, kindly do so but of course, PLEASE link back to my site.. *glares*
Grilled Lemon Fish Swimming in Pumpkin Sauce (lame title.. I know hehehe..)
Ingredients
--Fish--
Half cut lemon
1 tsp of salt
1 pinch of sugar
Pandan Leaves
4 pcs of Chili Padi
1 tbs evaporated milk
7 slices of cut up Grouper
--Pumpkin Sauce--
10cm x 3cm pumpkin slice
1 tsb of sugar
1/2 tsp of salt
4 tbs of evaporated milk
1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder
1 tbs of butter
1 tbs of chopped onion
How to do it!!
Fish--
For the fish, the dimension of the slices is quite important cuz when we grill it, we would want to make the skin crispy and the flesh tender. Its most prefered to have the fish cut with a width of 2 inch with the tail being longer. Bear in mind that Groupers are most delicious at the tail and the head is best to be cooked in Asam Pedas or Curry. Anyway we will be using the body and the tail of the fish.
Clean and gut the fish. Squeeze the lemon juice from the half cut lemon. Do NOT throw away the skin. Blend in the leftover of the skin with Chili Padi, Sugar, Salt and Evaporated milk. Marinate the fish with the mixture for half and hour (but I prefer one hour).
Once the fish is ready, grill it on the Grilling Pan but for those who doesn't have one, a frying pan can do. Line the Pandan Leaves on the Pan before you grill the fish. I prefer using Pandan Leaves cuz the Pandan has a nice smell and will eliminate the fishy smell and will not destroy the grilled skin of the fish.
Grill the fish in a medium heat for 15mins or so for both sides, or until the fish is cook. Be careful to not burn the skin into char. If you suspect its going to burn, lower down the heat.
Pumpkin Sauce--
I prefer doing the easy way. Dump everything into the blender except the butter and onions into a puree. Heat up the butter in a sauce pan and saute the onions until light brown. Then mix in the puree into the pan under a meadium heat until it boils.
To those who loves onions, do NOT put too much chopped onions else it will overpower the pumpkin taste. You can also put in mint leaves if you do not like cinnamon powder. However I've not tried it, so if anyone tried the mint leaves, leave me a review on how it goes.
Finishing!!
For the finishing, place the slices of fish on separate plates. Then decorate the sauce over the fish as you like. Add some parsley if you wish. Now its ready to be serve..
Sorry lah.. I forgot to take the pics of the dish. My stomach seem to control my brain so the thought of getting a pic of the dish just dashed off my mind... ( -_-")

Nothing much..
25th November 2006
Life is as per normal although there are less sleep and more physical work for me to do instead of camping in front of my monitor. Wanna have a sneak peak into my nowadays work? You can read it altough there is basically nothing interesting in it other than meeting new SingTel personnel and new food.
- 5.45AM: wake up time!!
- 6.00AM: Makan time.. how can anyone stomach anything this early?? Gah.. although all grace goes to mom for preparing me a piping hot mug of coffee everyday.. yumm..
- 6.40AM: chugg off to Gelang Patah to get the 7.15Am bus..
- 8.00AM: reach Jurong East to unload all of the equipment from my front lorry.. early morning exercise part 1..
- 8.35AM: reach the Main-Con factory.. get the work order for the day.. load up batteries into the lorry (35kg each), Qty varies from 8batt to 16 batt.. back breaking exercise part 2..
- 9.00AM load up the system which is NOT at all light.. all thanks to Shahrul who does all the back breaking work..
- 9.30AM: goes off for the site but if got time, we go early lunch.. can't work on empty stomach
- 10.30AM: report to SingTel personnel for the first site..
IF everything goes smoothly, the job can be completed within 2hrs, looking at the environment, whether its crappy crampy, safe etc.. But the job is really simple... except for the carrying of batteries..
By the time all of us return home (J.B) the only thing we need is a bed and a pillow.. yeah its that tiring..
However there are a few downsites cuz its seems that women are not appreciated in electrical environment. The men.. well most of them are all male chauvanists and downright looking down their noses at me. Its sickening and suffocating.
Women it seems is forever the 2nd class worker in the world.. haiz.. nevermind I will show them what we women are made of..
Oh yeah Jannah.. hunny do you have the clear pix for the Raye outing? I kinda lost it.. hehehe

Fatal Error C000021a
4th November 2006
Ok peeps after lots of fiddling here and there and pouring out my eyesight & destroying my brain cells, I finally figured out what the hell was causing my Windows XP Home Edition to unable to boot up properly.
Listen up to those who are currently facing this problem and DO NOT KNOW the cause.. If your computer keep restarting by itself everytime you try to boot up into your Windows XP Home Edition, then you are facing this problem.
Symptom:
After installing Roxio GoBack (available when you install Norton System Works), and attempt to restart your pc, you may receive this message error:
C000021a [fatal error]
The session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xC00003a ... or something like that
Cause:
When you installed GoBack, it is present in the boot sector, thus causing lots of inconviniet to people like me..
If you can't view the error message, when you boot up your pc, highlight the infected Windows XP Home Edition and then press F8 button.
1) From the menu with all those options of Safe Mode, Start Windows Normally etc..
3) Then when you restart it again, you can see the error message.
Solution:
- Ok once you have done that, start Windows as per normal or you can restart your pc, both ways work for me.
- During StartUp process, press SPACE to access GoBack option menu.
- When prompted, choose the Disable GoBack Options, and let the pc complete the StartUp process.
Your Windows XP should work just nicely after that and it will bring you back to your beloved Windows XP. From here, you can choose to uninstall GoBack by manually uninstalling it in the Control Panel => Add/ Remove Programs.
In my case, I just prefer to let GoBack irritate me everytime I load up my Windows XP, prompting me whether I want to Activate GoBack, which I Do NOT want..
Hope it works for those of you who are wrecking your brains out.. If you got any qns, just holler me, I'll try my best to answer your them.

Summary...
3rd November 2006
What.. what.. what... has happened? Hmm...
1) Grandma passed away peacefully on 18th October or was it 17th? Not sure.. what I know that she went peacefully and this time, I let it out.. I let all out, I didn't bother to hold it in. I still felt the melanchony of it everytime I thought of her but at least its better than the passing of my late grandad..
No more granny to cuddle up with while I seek comfort from my hectic life.. No more food shopping, her cute granny antics, her simple yet delicious cooking... Just no more Nenek.. Everyone who really knows her will remember her as the old sweet granny with lots of grit.. hahaha...
2) Raye has arrived and now stuffing my stomach with goodies.. yummy.. Lepak at my sister's house for a few days.. Amelia was cute and so was Athira.. hahaha.. Those two are like the Ying and Yang.. Still awaiting for my pictures from my elder brother and my sister.. Why so slow Kak Long and Abg Azrin?
My elder brother came over for raye also.. that is like first time in two years.. Gosh, he sure has grown--sideways!! ahaha... Well I think having a kid certainly put a stopper on his blathering "vocabulary" words.
3) Still deciding when to go out Jalan Raye with frens.. With the new company set up, my work schedule really hectic and turned over. Can't even decide when to start or stop..
4) Haiz.. this one is a little complicated.. My secondary school mate actually asked me to be his girlfriend and me being me, thought he was kidding and just spew out joking words and questioning his sanity and other stuffs which my gal frens think is outrageous.. hahaha
Well how the hell do I know he was serious.. I mean we only sms each other once a month since 5mths ago at my cousin's wedding cuz I so love to keep in touch with old frens. Furthermore the thought of him and me being a couple has NEVER crossed my mind. Good heavens, I was his matchmaker you idiot, and I know he always charms his way to gals heart.. Unfortunately for him, I'm just happy to have him as a fren. I can't imagine us being a couple. No way!!
At least he's still my fren now and we are still back to joking like mad idiots again..
To those who thinks matchmaking me is a great idea: DON'T YOU DARE!!!

Also found out that Lisa got another job.. and another weird dream of getting hitched.. *giggles.. that gal can be so dreamy at lots of time..
The haze is trying to choke the breath out of me.. Can't breathe properly and I've been having eye irritation since day 1...

Stupid idiots
16th October 2006
I am officially declared Ulcers Free!! Woohoo! So now my dear beloved food, I take great pleasure in eating you.. hahaha...
So what's up in my hermit's life? Stupid TNB took an off day this morning at 1.15am and we were left in the dark medival ages until.. *drum rolls* 3pm!! So ladies and gentlemen, the 4D number of the day is 1153.
What the hell were the TNB thinking?!! From 1.15am all the way to 3pm, no electricity. Good thing I was fasting, else I don't think I can stop the words from spewing out of my mouth. All of my neighbour's factory frozen food went bad and other manufacturing factories went shutdown. Called up 15454, and the operator had the cheek to inform us that everything will be ok by 12noon. Hello?!! What the hell is the other 3 hours for? Coffee break?
I just don't get it.. Why is it that our place always get power blackout? Why can't Putrajaya or KL or the president's building got 15hrs power blackout? I'd like to see that happen to them and take great pleasure at watching TNB squirm under live fire.
Anyway went out to Danga Bay. There is a Bangkok fair. Good nice thingys. Nice clothes *drools*.. but no shoes.. (-_-)"
Haiz.. so no new shoes for my Raya..

Oh yeah...
14th October 2006,
Didn't do anything much but feeding my hungry and almost dried up brain cells with cartoons and more cartoons. Too bad I miss the stupidity of Spongebob Square Pants. But there were other good cartoons that Tv3 makes up for my great loss. (^_^)
Then got a surprising shock during Break Fast time. My elder brother and his family came over to break their fast. Luckily there was enough food to go around, considering we usually cook just enough for 3 people unless there was visitors.
Athira was happily munching on Maccoroni Soup like the rest of us (I have mouth ulcers remember..). Then Kak Mar had mom's most famous and Abang Adik's favourite dish, Ikan Sepat Masak Lemak Lada Padi..
They went off at 9pm or so.. Duh! They have almost 12hours of driving to reach Kedah. (pops in another Kuih Baulu)
Hmm... what to cook tomorrow? Should I cook Fish Masala with Briyani Rice or Chicken Tikka Masala? Haiz.. decisions..
Oooh!!! Mom is frying french fries!!! I love you mom!!
(runs off to prepare another cup of coffee)
Ps: the pic above was taken during a REWANG nite for my relatives wedding;
time: 1am, status: dead tired... see how oily and tired I look?

Ulcers..
11th October 2006
Yay for me cuz all my editing for accounts are done and waiting to be send for auditing.
However amidst my happiness, somethin irritating has been sprouting.. I'm attacked by ulcers!! And to make my life miserable, its right underneath the back of my tongue. There goes all my favourite food... down the drain..
Drat!! Now I'm only allowed to eat non-heaty, non-oily and non-spicy food.
I hate ulcers!!
Oh yeah regarding Indigo Eyes, the chapter 17 is currently being composed. Anyone wanna request any special scenes in the chapter? But then.. this chapter contains strong plot and any affection related is tough to add in the chapter..
However if anyone is requesting for special scenes, I'll try my best to fit in something..
*goes off glaring at the bland looking food*

Kissy.. Kish..
9th October 2006
Last weekend was a family reunion. My brother's family came down from Kedah.. yeah I know he's suppose to be in UK but he decided to drop by his mother-in-law's place.. Then at 9.30am my elder sister's family along with my siblings came and it was chaotic.
Two-year old kids running around and screaming in glee with the adults chasing after them and trying to catch the whirlwind of disasters.. *snickers* the toddlers are extremely cute together and the mess they make in their wake makes me smile in fond memories.
Of course there were the usual family bantering and occasional smack from mom and a loud "Oww" from my elder brother.. One would think family life would mature one's character but in this case, it doesn't work on him... *snickers madly*
Siblings were as usual, abusing my poor computer and PS2. My elder sister was hogging the tv with her Korean Drama Fest.. God help us from the Korean Drama hungry woman.. hehehe.. Can you believe she actually spend the whole 2 days and 2 days in the last weekend just to finish her Princess Hours drama.. Good thing her husband put his foot down when she wanted to watch My Girl.. (^-^)
Too bad my camera was spoilt if not I would have snap loads of Snap Shots.. you know me, anything original with no posing, is my cup of tea.. hehehe
Ok gotta go now.. wanna watch my Musang Berjanggut.

Jaken-sama!! So kawaii!!
6th October 2006
I didn't want to wake up this morning but the irritating cheerful birds are so annoying! Wonder where the hell they find so much pent up energy to be so annoyingly cheerful in the morning. I wanted to sleep in...
At least my suspected flu decided to take a chill during the day.. but now.. haiz.. My throat is aching all over again and I'm currently feeling as terrible as Jaken here..
I hate getting sick.....

Chill With SiSters...
5th October 2006
Hah!! Finally!! I finally managed to hang out with my 'sisters'... *grins ruefully* after 2 years of parting, I finally managed to squeeze sometime out and chill!! It was so nice to relive the old days, of course with us being a few years older and much wiser.
We went and purged whatever that is there in Kampng Glam, Arab Street and Geylang Serai. I, bought myself 2 pairs of ear rings which I think is the best steal. The design is so unique and goes with any clothes I pick. The three of us also splurge on an outdated and ex-stock items that was once so expensive, a china silk sling bag. I can't believe what used to be 3 for $10 is now reduced to $1 each.. hahaha.. so guys, next time you have you eyes set on sometime ex and new in the market with only a few cents to spare, wait for a few years for the price to drop.
Also was stopped 3 times by sweet old ladies that got very curious at the Songket Top I was wearing. Yes.. It's an old Songket and yes.. It belongs to my mom.. Can't remember how many times I have to repeat it again and again, much to Lisa's amusement..
(-_-)"
Found out quite alot of new stuffs about my 'sisters'. Jannah is now taking a civil engineering course which I obviously think is a great achievement. Lisa took a private diploma on business management, perhaps I should let her handle my accounts *snickers* and she being the gooofy one, always forget to tell US that she now has a new boy-toy.. hehehe.. yes, I purposely use that crude word.. hahaha
Then we dragged in Nurdin, the lazy Chill Man. Had another round of Maniac on the Loose show, courtesy from the four of us. Surprising, we weren't on the front headlines.. We had left lots of chaos in our wake.. hehehe..
Ahh yes... once again I finally managed to instill my wacko maniac powers on those near me.. hehehe..
Grandma is not getting better. Doctor says she's having stroke. Atuk is having Gout, poor him.. no more favourite food. Cik Lala and family broke fast at granny's house with the order from my mom. Mom cooked Briyani Fish Masala and Bone-Steak.. Indian food, good for me!! ( ^_^ )
Unfortunately, I have forgotten to take a photo with Lisa.. Haiz.. That lady ah.. Nevermind, next time I'll lcoked her down and snap her photo with me when she's daydreaming again.. hehehe..
*goes off munching on Kerepek Ubi Sambal*

Hitting the Rocks
28th September 2006,
Ah... After finally wrecking and squeezing every brain cells I have on work, as usual, finally got some peace time for myself. Broke my fast with Asam Pedas that was overcooked, my mom forgot to turn off the stove.
So now I'm plugged with Goth Music and Death Metal at the highest volume my surround-system headphone could manage which I tell is VERY loud.. But... Ahhh... the music is so relaxing... the rythm guitar and the drum beat is smashing.. been a long time since I can relax myself to such music.. hehehe
I can't stand listening to nasal singing which so many locals so love to sing with.. A desecration to perfect music.
My work is almost 3/4 complete but its so difficult to find a good worker. Any electrician interested in working for my company? Good pay.. but of course you got lots of work cut out for you...
I'm pleased to finally manage to post up the complete chapter 16 of Indigo Eyes. But the stupid thing is when I finally re-read on the posted fic, I finally realise that I forgot to add the part whereby Aunt Agatha ask Ryu why he's wearing that contrasting pink with orange frills shirt.. Oh well.. can always add that one in the later chapters.
Hehehe.. Also see my new icon, Indigo Eyes.. can't help it, got too itchy.. I tried to find a less noise and dusty looking Demando but sadly the quality of anime at that time is bad. Had tried to put a vector mask and all those other nonsense to make Demando look less contrasted and de-speckled and only ended what you see now.
Did some cropping and quick adjustments to Usagi so she wouldn't look so awkward. Couldn't figure out what design look best on them.. oh the decisions.. but finally got a weird idea and voilla!! Not the best though but at least better than nothing.
SO anyone to donate me any good Demando pictures so I can satisfy my icon mania craving? hehehe...
Ps: hmm... found out that template will go haywire when you put weird characters in the title and the contents like the directory backslash. It will cause all the words even in the main nav bar being crossed out.. this is like the 4th time I'm trying to post this but the stupid blog kept saying there's an error in the command I put in.. stupid program..

Hadi Won..
25th September 2006,
Oh sweet heavenly Caramel Macchiato!!
Another Malay stood as the reigning champion for Singapore Idol, Hadi, woohoo for us. But seriously from my point of view, I think Hadi doesn't have that quality to be an idol. Unlike Taufiq Batisah who already have that mysterious aura with him that hypnotises listeners with just his voice, Hadi totally lacks that quality.
I finally found my missing diamond ring.. hehehe.. it was hidden underneath my bed. Yippee for mum, who so loves me and cleaned my room.. *snickers* I have almost given up hope in finding the ring..
Ramadan is back again and I still haven't manage to go for Terawih Prayers, perhaps tomorrow.. At least I make up for the loss by continously reading the Quran and currently I'm in the Suratul Al-Nisaq. Been also waking up late in the morning, catching up lost of sleep.
Mosquitoes are hollowing down on me and I need to get that insecticide before they find me tasty... gah!!

Lost and still searching...
22nd September 2006,
Can you believe this? I had stayed up all night reading the quotation and I found that its not even complete. Kept calling my supplier but he off his handphone.. So now waiting diligently for his call.
Morning started off with a bang with my dad.. Oh its just the usual work discussion that went wrong which of course nearly shook the rafters and the building foundation.. hehehe... But now the storm is calm and birds are chirping once again.. hehehe..
Going for meeting in about a few hours, my brain is still trying to switch off and go into hibernation. Did I tell you that last night was warm!! I didn't on the air-con but I did open the windows and its still warm...
Going to go to Singapore later also. Ramadan is tomorrow.. No food, no drink, good slimming month.. hoorah!!

Milk
15th September 2006,
Weird of all mysteries... Had Kaya/Margarine sandwhich in the morning.. Also had one large cup of hot Nespray Milk.. ahaha.. yes dearies, this woman here is a heavy drinker of piping hot milk, other than coffee of course. Hahaha...
I always have all my hot drink straight from the boiling kettle, can never drink warm or cold beverages like coffee, milk and tea. So yeah, dad was eyeing my cup and giving me that weird look before chuckling. What? Is it strange to see a 21yr old woman enjoying a piping hot cup of milk?
Oh yeah, another picture, another new cute icon.. ahaha.. did it within 15mins. I'm wanting to do Diamond/Usagi icon but all the Diamond pictures are heavily contrasted and very little in quantity. *jumps around merrily*
Any good artist wanna help me indulge in my current state of interest?
Did nothing much but cracking my brains over the company's website that is still under construction.. ahaha.. yeah its slow in progress.. Hey I just recently had my inspiration on getting the design, so now am scouring around for the pictures and stuffs I wanted as the mixed design in the site.
Gah.. my left eye is giving me pains again.. It has been throbbing madly since last night..

New Toy!!
9th September 2006,
I got a new toy!!! Woohoo!!! *Grins like mad*
See that new icon? I made that!! Ahaha.. I got the original pic from http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/rkyamaguchirow/ and began my remodelling into this within the hour.. ahaha.. I so love my new toy..
I got other sets of icons and I'll be putting it up on each new posts.. ahaha... new toy, new itch, new things!! I so love the picture with lots of smut between my two most favourite pair.
Regarding the Indigo Eyes, I'm almost done with it.. well 3/4 of it. I can't decide whether to set in the ideas that had just sprouted in my mind days ago or just leave it like that. But if I leave it like that, then the next chapter will be short.
I'm also thinking of indulging on doing drabbles. Its much easier to be doing them than pouring my brains of on the next idea for the next chapter and its based on randomness... However I can't decide on which anime the drabbles will be posted about. There are some reviewers who had personally requested for me to start venturing into Rurouni Kenshin and there are those who wanted for Hana Yori Dango but I'm pinning for my Demando/Usagi ficlets..
Decision, decision, decisions.. tough...

This and That...
3rd September 2006
Gah! I woke up, did all my household chores and yada-yada before suddenly my mom shouted, "Kin, it's your dad's birthday!"
Oh shit! I totally had forgotten about it. How could I have forgotten something which I have remembered last week? Argh.. my brain and memory needs a through revamp. For what I have forgotten, I made it up in my cooking. Good thing I'm a whipy chef..
It seems I have also forgotten to add a link to the Sesshoumaru-chibi pic in my later post. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8931387/ That's the link for it... Sorry Sammy about forgetting to add the link.. hehehe...
Keep forgetting.. keep forgetting...
Anyway there was a Mat Rempit show aired in one of the TV programmes. Those insufferable monkey-brained homosapiens totally should be rounded up like animals and locked sentenced to 6 years of gruelling basic millitary training. That'll teach those idiots not to monkey around the roads and harming the lives of other motorists. I totally hated them. The pests of the roads.
Unfortunately I am once again unable to complete my Chapter 16 of Indigo Eyes. This time I am not blaming anyone because I'm still exhausted over the previous weeks incident. I'll try my best to hook up some of my spare time for it, although the chances look very minimal.
Still searching for fanfic challenges that look interesting for me to take up with. Hm... Perhaps I should take up some of the drabbles fest.. Looks very interesting considering it's more easier to whip it up instead of trying to mix and match chapters together..
Oh well...
Before I forget!!!! the link for the cute picture of Edward Alphonse above:

Death is weighing us...
27th August 2006
Another month or so has passed and I've been too busy to keep this thing updated. I've finally managed to update my Chapter15 of Indigo Eyes and currently working on the next chapter. I had intended to finish it and post it up by the end of this month but there are lots of things going downhill.
My grandma, the only blood connected one that is still living is dying. She actually fell on 8th August and was warded in the hospital for 2 weeks. During her stay in the hospital, she was acting very weird and her condition worsened when she was discharged.
She complained to being hot and joint discomfort and my family and I was recalled to take care of her. My third aunty was the main helper and our help was most appreciated by her. We had to nurse and literally be at her beck and call. It broke my heart to see my strong and usually lively grandma being so weak and almost lifeless.
I wanna cry, but I can't. I have to be strong, someone needs to be strong in the wave of emotional tears. God, I actually work my ass off until 4am in the moring just to keep my composure intact.
If she is going to die, let her go in peace and let her meet all her relatives first before passing. I'm gonna miss her. She is the only unique gem in all of the diamond and rubies in the world. It really hurts...
I'll be going back to Singapore again tomorrow once I've settled all the things here. The faster I finish, the faster I can get back to my grandma...
Hold on... I wanna see her one last time...

30th June 2006
Oh man... Just when I finally found someone worthy of my crazy affection, I found out his taken.. Man.. Just when I was about to download his pictures and make a wallpaper on my desktop.. Haiz..

Anyway too bad found out he's dating his co-actress from "Forest, My Home". He's born in 8th November 1982.. hahaha... it seems hes nearly as old as me.. hahaha..
Anyway nowadays life is getting ok.. not that much of stress but still not on the rocks. Oklah better log off.. Ciaoz!

Not good
12th June 2006
Not good.. Not good at all...
Lately life is tumbling me into some unknown tsunami except that right now the waves doesn't stop crashing on me.
Currently stupid delivery company keep giving me problems and my customer is chasing after me like hounding hyenas. Keep calling the delivery company and until now I do not have the airway bill!!! Grr....
I'm still fuming over that inconvenience... Its been 2 months already...
I have completed my chapter 15 of Indigo Eyes but unfortunately I couldn't find any time to type it out..
Kids came over and been bugging me off my sleep.. Can you believe that at 12 midnight they still wanna talk? Haiz.. Kids will always be kids..

Grr...
20th April 2006
Didn't do anything much today except work and more work. However I manage to actually bury the accounts for the time being in some dusty corner in the office which is oblivious to everyone.. *snickers.. what? *blinks innocently* Those monsters gave me nightmares...
Of course there was a few sight seeing done while I was doing my work in the net... Finally realised that there are such things as spray stockings. Yeah I know the product has long been in the market but hey... I am a hermit : p
Yesterday decided to be the Chef of the Day. I cooked two dishes and I can assure both are steaming.. hehehe
I am reading up on Australia and China Free Trade agreement now while trying to get ideas on what to write in this site.. LOL.. Oh yeah I finally managed to borrow Tenequil, 2nd book of High Druid of Shannara by Terry Brooks. But here's the shocking part: I haven't even started reading it.. Yes I know.. very shocking to find me, the book freak, to actually pass an opportunity like this.
Dunno lah *shrugs* nowadays I'm not at all interested in anything else except the commentary reviews written in Star newspapers.. hehehe.. now that is an entertainment. I love the comments left by frisked Malaysians who are either unhappy with their way of living or others.
After living here in Malaysia, I can only say one thing about their customers service. BAD. I don't want to bring up a few suggestions cuz it will most probably fill up the whole page..
Anyway currently I'm doing the first stages of Chapter 15 of Indigo Eyes.. yeah.. yay to all of my beloved readers.. *gah*
I think I better stop now.. I just can't carry on trying to act all cheery at this moment. My crams are killing me...

I Totally DESPISE doing Accounts!!!
12th April 2006,
I'm starting to think that someone or some annoying entity totally hates me or have a cynic humor at seeing me wallowing in misery.
The stupid dateline is nearing soon which means all the irritating and most hated Accounts have to be nicely done and balanced. It would be extremely easy and fun thing to do but unfortunately my hatred towards that particualar subject grows deep and I totally DESPISE that horrible fill-up-the-columns-with- numbers-subject.
Yuck!!! The very sight of those numbers makes me shudders but unfortunately I had to do the blasted accounts since none was able to do it except me.. Why can't anyone understand the fact that I got a E8 for accounts on my O'Levels... But No.... just because I manage to do such a 'great' job last year, the blasted thing had to be shouldered by me... Holy Ballistic!!
grr... Anyway I shouldn't get my entire life be destroyed by mere numbers. I finally updated chapter 14 of Indigo Eyes and lots of the readers are jumping up and down in joy.. hehehe.. I so love enjoy writing even though there are times I grumble at the time it took to finish one chapter up. But to read the lovely reviews the readers wrote just made my day and currently my brain is plugging out new ideas for the upcoming chapter. But the problem is.. when can I find a free time to slot in... hmm...
The sales I'm doing is giving me a headache. Too many enquiries but rarely returned with a good sales promises.. haiz... I need to clinched at least 4 deals before the month ends to make this thing work out.. Impounding headache is gonna kill me one day.
I tried to clean up my extremely messy table but somehow it got messier than before.. hehehe.. I wonder how that happens... Hmm... *snickers*
The metal cutter machine broke down again and I had to repair it. This is not the first time the machine broke down but at least it didn't try to take my arm off unlike the other blue colored circular saw machine. I still remember that scary time *shudders*. It was last year and I was doing a troubleshoot on the machine since it broke down due to some unforseen reasons.
I had checked all of the connectivity of the wire and everything seems to be working, the carbon brush, the motor, everthing basically. Thinking to test it, I plugged in the machine and on it. At first it was ok but after a few seconds the machine began to vibrate dangerously and the grinding blade began to wobble. Before I could even manage to turn it off, suddenly the machine lets out an explosive sound and a huge portion of the blade was flying like a broken disc straight to me.
Thankfully I was wearing long sleeved denim jacket, goggles and gloves (I always wear them everytime I did engineering works) else my left hand would have certainly been sliced off. A good portion of my jacket was thorn off, saving me with lacerations on my arm. It turns out that the machine which was originally sold to us was missing a few important parts and I was blowing my top off at the idiotic company's QA inspection.
Until now, that scare constantly appeared everytime I was given an Engineering Task be it welding, troubleshoot, metal cutting, latheing.. Haiz..
But at least I get to cut some slack on the accounts!!! Yippee!!!!
Accounts are very evil creations....

Great Sunday...
10th April 2006
I'm hungry and extremely sleepy at this moment but that is not what I'm gonna rant today. In fact I'm not gonna do anything but do a summarized retelling of what I did during my weekends.
On Saturday didn't do anything much until evening. Went to library and borrowed Terry Brook's 2nd book on the High Druid Saga.. *starry eyed* Oh went out with Nana, my cousin, and she was late, as usual.. haiz.. I'm starting to think that habit runs in the family.. *snickers*
Then went to surprise Udin, my other younger cousin who I am extremely closed to, when he was doing his Silat ( Malay traditional martial arts practice). He was having this stand at the attention test whereby he can't move at all even at the immediate scare by his Teacher. So these two cookcoos cousins of his went up to him and shouted our greetings and of course, me being dense was irritated at the lack of response.
Luckily Nana saw the small finger signal of his, else I would have certainly made a total fool out of myself. Duh!! I was literally about to march to that little mushroom and bonk him on his head for his lack of response... lol.. Can't fault me, I'm very attached to him and Nana and to act nonchalant to me would be a great insult.. Hmph!!
Anyway after the practice, had a nice time sponging off my beloved aunty and uncle at a Chinese Muslim food court.. Yummy.. love the Mapo Tofu... Made my uncle the main spotlight of the 'Endless Teasing Session' due to his accidental amnesia habit..lol.. We also had a nice time being nutsy and being our childish self which I can tell you is such a great enjoyment. Went back to granny's house at 11pm.
Sunday, now this is a extremely shiok and busy to the core day... Lets see if I can remember all those things we did... Hmm...The morning was extremely boring even though I did all of the household chores while mom did the cooking. But the best part was when I totally forgot the time I was supposed to meet my Ex.. (gasp??) Yes.. I met my ex and had a damn good time *sticks out her tongue* I can't believe that I actually forgot the time I was supposed to meet.. hehehe.. it seems that my uncle's amnesia disease is very contagious.
12pm, I was enjoying what supposed to be BanMian, a free treat I managed to sponge off from some overgrown cute hamster..lol.. oh yeah for such a long time since I last seen him, I was extremely shocked at his size.. he was.. um... hahaha.. a lil huge.. dunno lah.. I had thought he was supposed to be a little slim since the last time I saw him... hm.. Must be my eyesight then.. *snickers*
Unfortunately the food wasn't as good as last time. The standard has dropped drastically. The content of chicken meat used to be alot but now I only get thin pathetic slices of what's supposed to be chicken *frowns*.. very saddening.. Didn't do nothing much except for talking nonstop which I can tell you is such a good feeling.. hehehe... can't help myself, I just love to talk.
Come to think of it, just seeing him in front of me makes me extremely happy and I was tempted to just cross that table and hug him.. but nah... he'll think me as nutsy. The first few moments was quite awkward but after my incessant talking, well things just went smoothly. After the 'makan session' we walked around while I try to embask myself in the air of the shopping mall, I do miss shopping but due to some tight financial standings, that pleasure has to be put on a loooong hold.
Had a tough time trying to decide what junk food the kids would like to eat. Lastnight I had told my cousins to party at granny's place which they of course immediately agreed to it. I usually organised these get together occassion whenever I'm in Singapore since we RARELY meet. So anyway.. finally decided that Post Almond Cereals, WanWan crackers and home-cook food would be the menu of the day.
Then what else happen ah... drat.. I kinda forgot.. hmm... Oh yes!! Had a great time pigging out at granny's place when the kids finally came over. We did some Most Embarassing Stories sharing and of course... the TRUTH N DARE GAME.. Now that game brings chuckles every moment I thought about it..
Amazing what the game could actually do to kids who have a knack of getting themselves in hot soup at most times. Lets see the weird dares the kids had to do.. Nana had to knock the next door neighbour's house three loud times before she can make her escape, Udin had to put on lipstick and eyeliner much to everyone's glee and his mortification... hehehe.. I had to actually bargain with him to only put my lipstick on him instead of both the eyeliner and the latter, took him 5 mins or so before he finally agreed. hehehe.. He kept figeting and tasting the lipstick and commenting how disgusting the taste was which of course made us laughed harder.
Shahrul, my younger bro, had to go down on bended knees and declare his undying love to my cute and sporting, Aunty Ana, and get her to return his love with a kiss on his cheeks... *snickers* shiok!!! His face was filled with pure horror and the poor kid nearly puked out when he was bestowed with a kiss.. at this point, all of us was dying with laughter.
Ayu, my younger sis and the baby of the family, had to dig her ears and her nose and of course licked the residue off. It made us gagged, Nana's face was crunching with disgust while Udin was giggling and jumping up and down.. hehehe..
Of course lah the person who was responsible for those wacko dares is me.. hahaha... But unfortunately the toy gun which we used as a spinning bottle pointed to me once.. strange.. The TRUTH was brain refreshing.. I found out quite a lot of stuffs about my so called innocent siblings and cousins of mine...
Udin: He has a crush on a girl in school. He tries to act macho and tough in front of his crush to get her attention but I'm not going to emphasize on the rest.. lets say its very.... refreshing.. lol
Shahrul: A classmate of his declared her love to him in a letter in Feb. At first he felt nonchalant towards her but as weeks pass, some feelings starts to grow. Plus, he even sends her to her house since it was so conveniently her house was on the way back to his...
I had a nice time being a counsellor to these two highly active teenage male hormones, especially Shahrul. If the evil glint in my eyes doesn't dither Shahrul on his attention on this girl, then some measures will have to be taken.
Heck!!! I can't believe this nonsense.. When I was his age, I don't even know what 'Stead' means and always mistaken it as a stallion since that is the synonym for it everytime my gal friends gossiped about some nonsense. He should be concentrating more on his studies and his future instead of some itchy-backside teenage girl who has an extremely high reactive hormones... Grr.. I think I should meet this Nur Whatever Her Name Is..
*shakes her head* Enough of the side track. We also had some counselling mediator session whereby the kids would discuss some of the problems they are currently facing and have none to confide in. Nana and I are of course the mediators, giving our insights on the problems at hand.
By the time we finally step out of Atuk's room, it was late evening and my parents, granny and Cik Lala was asking what the heck we were doing since we nearly collapsed the roof with our laughters, shrieks and whatever noise that we had made...
We just grinned while we looked at each other before finally breaking out in laughter.
It was an extremely fun and chaotic weekend. Too bad our 'meeting' is usually held every few months or so.. but as the saying goes, time makes the heart fonder... or was it distance?
*shrugs* oh well...

Emotional Break Down
5th April 2006,
Last night was a turbulence ride for me as waves of emotions and memories crashed over me. I guess those irritating Korean Dramas and lovey-dovey stories finally made its effect on me. Not to mention the months of pent up frustration and stress finally managed to crack the wall that I had thought was throughly reinforced.
I dunno what really happened but the mounting stress and a serious problem that had suddenly appeared suddenly made me realise one thing. I'm just a plain human being, not a Herculean warrior. And even the strongest breaks down once in a while.
All this while, I had potrayed myself as a happy go lucky person who laughs off her problems and smiles while I try to conquer one problems after another. But that's the thing, all this while, years the face that everyone had seen was just a mask, a mask to hide the real me.
I just couldn't let anyone realise the amount of problems I had, be it problems about my Company, family or personal. I just couldn't let anyone see the real me. I couldn't afford to look weak in front of everyone especially my family which meant I can't break down and cry my heart out whenever the mood strikes. To do so would means I had admit defeat and breaking down what's left of the hope that my parents had in me..
I had never felt so pressurised in my life, until lastnight. I felt so suffocated and trapped and like a cornered animal. It was 11pm and that was when I finally realised it. I'm not as strong as I had thought I was. I literally broke down and cried my heart out as I lay curled on my bed.
God! I had never felt like a lost little kid before... A confident well respected woman being reduced to a lost little girl certainly doesn't seem funny to me at that moment.
I had wanted to talk to someone, anyone about all of those problems I was facing but none seems to fit the picture. Ugh.. My head was spinning and my heart was clenching so painfully that it was pure pain to even breathe in. That was when my brain just went overdrive and memories of the times my Ex-Bf consoling and giving me moral support just flashed by.
That was the very moment I actually realised I really needed him in my life. He was always very gentle, caring and knows the exact moment I needed a moral boost or feeling down. He just seems to know exactly what to say and do.. And.. I actually cried of ever letting him go.
Why can't I just open my stupid eyes and realise that I actually and REALLY needed him in my life?! My stupid conscience was the bloody fault to it. I didn't want to tie him down cuz with my stupid work schedules and mounting problems, I could never spend enough time with him, could never give the attention and affection I know he needs.. haiz...
I MISS HIM DAMN IT!!! How I wish I can have him back at my side and assure me everything is going to be ok.. haiz.. I still love him... Stupid of me to ever think that I would get him off my mind.. haiz.. very stupid of me.. If only I can turn back time..
I WANT HIM BACK!!! *sniffles* I truly misses him....
Stupid emotional breakdown... stupid me... *sniffles*

Tired... n HUNGRY
21st March 2006,
I am tired, testy... and extremely HUNGRY!!! I was so hungry that had my lunch at 11am.. Hmm come to think of it, I didn't have any breakfast.. lol..
I finished work at 12am midnight lastnight. Not only was I tired, I was stressed, hungry and achy all over... I thought a good night sleep would do the trick but I was nicely reminded of that stupid stress when I woke up at 6am this morning.
I woke up with a frustrated frown, aches and an insistent urge to scream my stress out. I couldn't open my eyes... *sniff* so tired and hungry....
I was miserable....
Anyway, as usual when hunger consumes my mind, I could do nothing but concentrate on getting some decent large pile of food into my grumbling stomach. Yes, I was whining and telling anybody who would listen to me about my sudden hunger misery. Then at 5pm, I had another large pile of food, yummy, and off to continue my endless work.
Also read my best friend's blog which she have just started to adopt. Hmm... I wonder when she'll forget that she has a blog.. *snickers* She has a bad habit of forgetting things.
Hmm.. I think I wanna eat Asam Laksa Maggi (instant noodle) for my dinner, got a sudden urge to eat it suddenly.. yummy!!
Oklah gotta go.. Ciaoz!!

Gloomy... Scammers...
15th March 2006,
Things are really not looking up these days. Found out that my BELOVED clients are scammers thanks to the endless research I had to do. What a total waste of my time, energy and MONEY..
Very frustrating.. Just when I had thought things would be looking up and boom! Something like this came up. But thank goodness I did those research, else the company would have lost millions and not to mention the company's reputation would be down the drain.
What caught me as odd was when the Client told me on the day of the supposed T/T, their bank has pended the transaction due to the products not registered in NAFDAC Nigeria. Ok.. I know we had to do those registrations stuff since we had used to deal with another client who had same registration problem. But then... when a T/T has been send, I don't think the bank can suspend it. From what I know, the owner of the bank can cancel the transaction and thats about it. (Strange 1)
When I requested for the necessary details and government agency to proceed with the registration, I was very nicely surprised to find the email address of the 'Secretary General' of NAFDAC Nigeria to be using africamail.com. I thought government bodies would be using special email address, with those ending with example.gov.sg kinda thing. (Strange 2)
Then when I contacted the 'Secretary General' they gave me the NAFDAC product registration forms which in JPEG formats which looked very suspicious especially the registration fees amount column. The colour of the fonts doesn't corresponds with the others and the angle is totally off.. This time, I wasn't surprised to find the registration fees was almost double from the original ones which I had gotten from the official NAFDAC Nigeria website which was supposed to be Naira $200,000 or USD$1500. Instantly I was suspicious. (Strange 3)
The Client had pestered me to get the registration done with the reason that their customers are waiting for the goods. For godsake! Even if the money had been fully T/T into the company's account, the total lead time would take around 3 and a half months before the consignment will reach Lagos.. Who do they take me for? A fool? Too bad this fool is too experienced to be fooled. I told them to wait.
Immediately I asked for my parents opinion and my sis. Not satisfied still, I called up the Nigerian Embassy and my bankers for their views. Sure enough they told me the same thing. Still not fully satisfied, I know.. I can be very unsatisfied and determined, I did research on the net, tracing down their company's address, contact numbers and other details. Finally!! My satisfaction was eased.
It was a total scam.
Since I'm a very vengeful and not to mention sadist, I composed a very nice mail to the Nigerian Police and other anti-scammers organisation and shoot out a report. I also replied to my client stating that I have contacted their Embassy for the registration procedures and had given the embassy their contact details.
Not only were they pissed, they were being extremely sarcastic. Like I care! To hell with those who tries to make a fool of others. Assholes...
And quite conviniently, another scammer from Benin pulled the same nonsense at me. What the heck is the problems with these kiddos from these countries? Don't they have better things to do then cheating others out? What the hell happened to make hard and honest money?No wonder their economy is very bad, with people like them, I wouldn't be surprised.
Anyway my younger lil sis has just told me a very interesting issue on that idiotic friend of mine whom I have ignored for 3 months. He told her he misses hanging out with me.. He said he's very bored cuz I no longer get out of my place to even talk to him. Harlo!! Time check!! I'm extremely busy with work these days that even my mom has to chase me to the dinner table. Plus he was the moron who ignored me first especially after having his beloved girlfriend..
His workers are also complaining about him. Said he's no longer what he used to be, jovial and crazy. He's now more cranky and frisked. They said they preferred the time when he was without his girlfriend. Like what the hell happened? Did I miss something here? I thought having a girlfriend is suppose to make him much more sociable and likable? Chigau...
Anyway they are also sick of his lovey-dovey attitude he has whenever his girlfriend is with him and will not hesitate to show their displeasure. She even kisses him in public in front of people during working hours! my lil sis bears witness to that.. poor hunny.. lol..
My god! What happen to Boss never messes around during working hours especially when your girlfriend is your own clerk!!! Confirm, his standard of respect in the eyes of his workers has dropped. Talk about practice what you preach.. hahahaha...
Come on lah.. Even I the newbie M.D knows never to show my childish side or anyside that will make my employees respect towards me drop.. What was he thinking? His dick? *shakes her head...
What a waste he is...

Men are ALL DICKERS
21st February 2006
Forgive me for being so biase but I just can't help it.. MEN ARE ALL DICKERS
I cannot help myself after like 2 months plus of pondering what the hell I did to my friend that he insist on ignoring my SMS and cheerful morning hellos, I finally found out something.
HE'S SLEEPING WITH HIS CLERK!!!
Eww... *pukes*.. *gags* I can't take it.. Its too disgusting.. Isn't there an office guideline that says AVOID SLEEPING WITH YOUR WORKER?
For godsakes, no matter how pretty and downright sexy your worker is, you don't go around sleeping with them.. especially in your own factory!! How the hell I know that? Simple, he kinda made an empy room in the factory as his residence and I happen to do the same thing to my own factory plus my factory faces his, so hell of course I knew he's sleeping with her!!
I saw her car parked at his place but she's in his car and they drove off to somewhere. I thought it was something else until I saw her the next morning at 11am in a pair of shorts that could be mistaken as box shorts and him well.. practically drooling all over her.. FYI, she's plumb.. They have been secretly sleeping with each other until recently well.. their lil secret was known to me. Oh yeah, they did again lastnight.. DISGUSTING!!!
Really.. If he has a girlfriend, just tell that to my face, after all.. I took him as my good friend, unless he thought otherwise.. *snorts
My point of view of him has now dropped to minus sub-zero. I had thought he would have acted more frank, open and adult but after this episode of 'Keeping away from Crazy Friend'.. well he can just kiss my ass goodbye. Some friend he is! Come on lah.. I knew him far longer than his clerk and he just throw me like some dirtbag for a plump gal who just 4mth worked for him.
I think just becuz I keep sms-ing him almost everyday to ask what's wrong he thinks I'm some sort of easy catch who falls for him.. PUH..LEASE!!!! Forget it! From now on, I shall never be friendly with the gender from Mars again. They should just stick their D*** into other holes.. LOL
Really.. this whole episode is still making me feel like taking an axe and hacked his head off.. No i'm not jealous.. I'm just pissed of the treatment he gave his GOOD FRIEND after sleeping with his worker.. *gags
Haiz.. What's the point.. I just wished them good luck, god knows they need it, and be done with it..
Ciaoz!!

Valentines... UGH!!
13th February 2006
Love is in the air once again
Lovers walk side by side
A heaven's gift so pure
Thousands marvelled
Thousands cherishing, loving.......
Much to my greatest annoyance and disgust! Gah! I can't believe that tomorrow is that wretched day, the very name of it makes me shudder. Yup its.. Valentine's Day *shudders*
Eww...
Can't fault me actually, I'm single so I have the damn right to actually shun and do watevernot I like about V-Day. hehehe.. Men and their flowery words.. Gah! Lies!! *starts chasing an imaginary poetic Romeo* Off with their heads!!!! Erm... Which head ah? *snickers*
Hehehe.. Anyway I'm out of my brooding mood. I lost a business deal worth of RM500,000. Actually wanted to knock my head on the table for it but I decided its waste of my time. It was quite depressing considering I had lost my 10% comission along with the deal and my oh-so-awaited holiday trip to India. But what is the point of crying over spilt milk, would only give me puffy bloodshot eyes and flam-filled nose. Yuck!!
I also tasted the beautiful result of Black Mal worm on the 3rd of Feb, much to my horror and no thanks to some irritating idiot. It nearly tore me apart considering I had just finished typing the revised Employment Contract which took me 12hrs. Oh and all of my company's account was also wiped out. Beautiful isn't it?Luckily my 12Dec back up disc was available.
Can someone give me the address to the irritating culprit which created this worm? I wanna see him scream in pain while I scapel his scalp off and squashed live wriggling big fat maggots into his brain. See if he likes the torture... *cackles hyterically*
Did some real clean up last week and the office now looks more of an office instead of a living room. hehehe... Oh lil cutie Amelia came over last weekend along with her parents and my siblings!!! It was nice to hear and see the kids screaming again.. hehehe.. Hey, I grew up in big family and so noises like those are very endearing... ONCE IN A WHILE!!
Its been a rainy season lately and the public irrigation isn't doing nothing to improve it considering they are CLOGGED UP!!! Many of times I've seen unfortunate pedestrians braving the one foot deep of clogged up water to do either their grocery shopping or waiting for buses. Some even ended up almost wet due to some handful of inconsiderate motorists who loved to 'splash' these poor pedestrians and I haven't even gotten to the sudden blackouts yet.
There was one time I saw a local who I think had enough of going 'swimming' and he tried to unclog the drainage holes during a rainstorm. It didn't work but he really deserved a recognition for trying.
But the most irritating thing was the sudden flash of blackouts. The occurance is not that often anymore but it really causes a pain in the neck. Just the other day, I was doing some work on this very PC that the stupid electricity gave out on me only to turn up the next second. My jaw was hanging by the joint but luckily I had managed to save it the last instant. It is a total pain!
I also realised that the internet sites of some important bodies are very disappointing. They are either lacking in content or they have broken links or their site haven't been updated. Its really frustrating considering that now most people now rely on internet as their source of knowledege, enquiries and purchases. It is such a waste to see the government trying so hard and wasting so much money investing for their internet consumers convenince only to have these sites lacking of standard.
I really appreciate and congratulate the government's effort in trying to promote it's people to be more modernised and updated but due to this drawback, I don't think it can achieve their goal easily.
But anyway who am I to say anything? I'm just a plain person who had almost nothing in her bank account and has too much stuffs to say.. I think better shut up before I blurt out something that will be used against me.. *smiles wrily*
Til next time!!
Ciaoz!!

Singapore Idols
19th January 2006
Lately the fever of the idols have been at it again. Every channel on the tv keep flickering the ads on the singing competition, be it American Idol, Malaysian Idol or the Singapore Idol. The popularity of these programmes goes on and on. But what set me thinking, again, is the Singapore Idol.
I do hope Singapore Idols have more promising stuffs to be viewed on other than the stupidity of a handful of embarassing 'creatures' and the beauty of singing. Unlike American Idol and Malaysian Idol, Singpore Idol lacks totally on the closet infantry. I don't know if anyone ever notices it but if you were to watch the programme properly, all of their clothes that the competitors wore are too static. What happens to the colors of life that so many designers in the world have so hard in trying to achieve?! Singapore Idols really need to liven up and be more colorful.
Perhaps its the lack of sponsors or perhaps its Clothing Rack Off Day... Think I'm kidding? Take a good look at the clothes they wore and count the number of times T-shirts and jeans were worn. Even the gals wore your typical faded blue jeans which are such a normality these days. Come on!! This is a country-wide competition not some head banging gig in the Youth Park.
Then there is the huge flaw on the small pathetic size stage. I think they should host the stage in a place which is more grand that shows the kind generosity that Singapore has. I think they should host it in Sentosa, they have an extremely huge and beautiful land there which were often used for the year countdown. And for godsakes someone please sponsor them some disco lights or something funky. Get something more colourful or something more lively, no more static displays please...
Take a look at Malaysian Idol. I mean wow... for a country which most Singaporean looks slightly down upon, they can really make people shake their bums and enjoy themselves. The ambience of being in somewhat of a disco thingy is there and their clothes!! Now that is as good as the American Idols added with the Oscar. Take Jacquelyn (did I spell that right?) for example. Her last performance was done with grand with her beautiful and I can bet very expensive gown, with a huge stage and exquisite lighting designs makes her really look like a STAR. Now that, ladies and gentlemen is what I call a performance from an IDOL.
I really hope this new season of Singapore Idol is something worthwhile to gawk on. I'm praying hard that they had done their homework and I can get to see my funky colors and laugh my guts out at those people who became idiots instead of idols. *snickers*... Anger and jealousy can bring the most foul languages from anyone. I wonder how many different foul languages the Singaporeans will be using since we are very bilangual or was it triangual? LOL
Till next time! Fingers crossed!!
Ciaoz!

Sickly Vampire...
15th January 2006
Yesterday was the worse day of my life ever since the new year. I was down with sickness that had me running to the toilet every 10 mins and spewing all of the contents in my stomach. It became worse when I came down from my sanctuary and the smell of pineapple tarts hits me. I think I made a new record as I dashed to the nearest toilet. Usually the smell of tarts would have made me dashing to the kitchen and stealing one of them baking tray but this time... It was torture.. I would have never thought my favourite food would turn against me.
That was only half of it! Unfortunately mom cooked my favourite dish which was fish curry and veggie cooked in dhal which became my biggest nightmare. So since nothing in the kitchen could supplement my sickly needs, I went back into the room and did whatever bears during winter do best, hybernate. Just when I thought vomitting for the whole night and day was the only problem, I got another problem tingling in my side, stupid bowels of mine became hyperactive. So there I was sprinting to the toilet for either bowel problems or vomitting.
By the end of the day, my lips became chapped and I was as weak as a babe. I can't even walk properly without bending over like a crone and shivering at the slight gust of the wind. But I did managed to nibble on a slice of bread which fortunately didn't come out like the rest of its friends. At 7pm I finally managed to get my medicine down and if I had known that it would be my miracle cure, I would have eaten them earlier... hehehe.. yes for the whole day I didn't eat my medicine.. *shrugs* Hey... the doctor did say to take my medicine AFTER food and since nothing could stay still in my tummy, I find it pointless to take anything that will soon be deposited into the toilet bowl..
But I hadn't thought that I could sleep my whole day and night away. Wow... Even my past illness had never given me the privileage of sleeping my day away. Hehehe..
There were those weird dreams I had when I was sleeping my sickness off.. I dreamt pineapple tarts were surrounding me with evil intent gleaming in their eyes, which makes me ponder : Pineappple tarts don't have eyes, right?
There were other weird dreams but they were less prominent.. hehehe.. trust my mind to go overdrive when I'm sick..
Anyway I'm feeling much better now although my favourite coffee which I had taken just taken tasted nothing like the previous ones.. must because I'm still recovering.. I'm still avoiding the pineapple tarts, not trusting my still churning stomach..
Oh yeah I almost forgot!! I found an extremely good site for Sims2 downloads!! Woohoo!! Its free but you have to register. They have all sorts of meshes and cool stuffs to download and so far, its the best that I've seen.. Its called Mod Sims 2 and you can check it out at the side navigator bar on the right.
Ciaoz!!

Something NEW
12th January 2006
Lately work has been stretching me to the limits. Last week handed in a pile of car accessories samples, a fender or something, to a client and now waiting for the result. It was pure hardwork in making the damn samples... I started on it from 8am and worked my back off til 9.30pm and even once til 10pm. My hands were totally scratched and my fingers!! Hah.. I can bet that if I were to go for a fingerprint test, I would surely fail. They are badly scratched from the dumb wire mesh which I had to painstakingly cut and the sharp edges of those custom made hinges. My fingers were so sorely tested that I had to use a handiplast on the fourth day.
Thought it was the last of hell when finally handed the samples over but complications erupted, badly!! It turns out the adhesives we used to stick the hinges onto the fibre glass body didn't stick well and I had to do some fast calls on the experts of fibre glass. Before I knew it, I had to march in the heavy downpour with the water level an ankle deep and head off to the factory in Singapore and reinstall everything from scratch.. And it was a SUNDAY!!!!
Curse my sorry luck....
Anyway had a nice day off due to Raya Haji and stayed over at gramps with the whole family. It was so relaxing, no work, no noise and mostly.. Lots of food!!! hehehe.. I love my granny!! She always cooks alot whenever her grandchildren came..
But the best part was when sis came over with her family. Everyone was cooing and coddling Amelia and boy was she the center of attention, not that I mind. She is so kawaii!! Oh yes, she crawls and her smile was so extremely cute!!! Grandad had to spoil it all by giving her a mock glare while she was crawling for my Hp and poof!! She turned around and cried for her mommy... hilarious!!
I find the way Amelia crawling to her mommy and making her into an extremely comfy makeshift sofa very endearing.. Really... If I were to have a family of my own, I want a child just like that, of course minus the 'loves-to-cry-at-nothing' attitude.. lol.. And that pic above as you can see, Amelia is chomping her way on a very juicy piece of orange.
Been raining here for a couple of days in a row.. Very cold... Wonder when the monsoon season is gonna end.. I wanna jog, not swim.. hehehe
Cioaz!!

New Years Gift
1st January 2006
Lastnight went out at 10pm, thinking to only relax and enjoy the heavenly delights of MacDonald's. I think I had too much pent up energy that even after walking for a few kilometers during the evening and running for another 2km, my body was still very much active. So much for the theory of running my energy off... hehehe...
So anyway I had twister fries, chocolate sundae and coke while my cutie of a fren had tea and nuggets. I had intended to pay for it since I did ask him out but that exasperating fren of mine had other ideas.. there goes my title of Miss Indepent. He has a very 'nice' habit of making my title drop a few notches especially with that 'look' of his.
So with my hyperactive self and adrenaline still singing merrily in my blood, I guess I took the wrong menu. The moment I muched those delights away, I got more hyper (trust me, coke and icecream and fries makes me very hyper and that was lucky that I didn't have coffee along) which resulted in me yapping happily about my school life years ago, places to find great and cheap food in Singapore and having girl talk with a guy fren... lol... yes hunnies, I had gal talk with a guy, horrible... lol
From the look on his face, I can assure you that he was shocked. Can't fault him since everytime we went out, I only spoke a few sentences that has nothing pertaining to my personal life and all it took to make me feel loosen up was 2 cups of medium sized coke, large fries and sundae. Well at least he didn't say a thing about my weird passion for french fries dipped in vanilla ice cream. Did I mention that the invention tasted heavenly? hehehe..
At around 15mins to midnight, we took off to Stulang, a jetty area, much to my surprise since after all he only said we are going to get my coke and munchies. That night, I found out that my dear fren has a sadistic amusement at seeing me squirm in my seat. I can't help it since that moron didn't bother refueling his tank and it was 1mm touching the Empty Zone. He even had the cheek to say that in case the fuel ran out, I will have the honor of pushing his car. Yeah right! Not if I push him off the road first!!! lol...
Even after pestering him to refuel, he still cheerily drove to Stulang while I resist the urge to whack him on the head a couple of times with my keys (that's the only thing I brought other than my HP and wallet). We finally reached there after a long stretch of traffic jam only to be faced with another heavily congested road heading to the Stulang area. Now I remember why I never go out during New Year's Eve, heavy traffic congestion.
The place was so populated, which I can wager it only happens once a year, that to find an empty parking lot is as good as searching a needle in a hay stack but eventually we did. So there we were walking along the bricked pathway when suddenly the ground underneath my right foot disappeared and I went vertically fell onto the ground. It turns out that 2 of the bricks were missing which resulted a hole in the path and since it was hollow, my whole right leg filled the void. After righting myself up with help of course, hearing a group of passing by young bikers teasing and laughing at my expanse and listening to my fren asking for my welfare, I did the one thing which I was extremely tempted to do since the fall. I laughed.
The scenario of my falling seems extremely hilarious to me that I can't seem to stop laughing even after my fren seen to my feet. I had never thought that a scene that usually happen in a cartoon would take its effect on me. The very idea of me falling vertically caused by a hole is really funny. There were a few scratches and a huge blue-black wound on my upper thigh which my fren does not know of (if he does, I am sure that he would never let me off his sight whenever we go out). But other than that, the whole thing went on quite smoothly.
After that fall, my fren took the responsibility of being my nanny, LITERALLY!! Yeah laugh all you want... Everytime we're going to cross the road he makes sure that I hold his hand, he will always walk infront of me to make sure there isn't anymore unexpected holes (which I think is a lil too much) and... UGH! the list is too long...
Hey don't take it in the wrong side. I do appreciate his care and concern but its just that I had been too independent for years of my life and to have someone looking over me is quite a change for me... I guess I need to do a lil change on my part.
We saw a few drunkards, kids whom I think deserved to be in bed at that hour, couple smooching and yeah.. everything seems to be going quite smoothly.
Oklah.. too tired to type more.. Need to sleep else that person is going to have my ear for looking worse than a panda in China. Hehehe..
Oh yeah that picture above is my 60yr old uncle who is repairing his Honda CRV with my dad at my place. Who says old men can't work?
Ciaoz hunnies!!
