FABS 2nd meeting

i know this is a over due post...

as everyone who attended... it was good to see the same faces... but the turn out was not too great.. it could have been better.. maybe because it was raining? or the invite was abit too late?... who knows... anyway, i managed to meet some of the organisers/owners of the Attic too...

the meet up was normal, introduction as there was one or 2 new faces, talk about fav applications and just casual chit chat... the meet up ended in about 2 hrs as (as usual) there was another event after that...

so here's some pics that was taken...

nice t-shirt Ramesh...

busy with facebook

a newbie to FABS...

facebook facebook facebook.. do u see any drools?

xmas shopping

because i'm in kl now AND there's no ikea in penang.. mum's been asking me to get stuff from ikea for christmas for her... since her first phone call about it, i've been visiting ikea every weekend and sometimes 2 days in a row!! hahahah....

i think now i know where's everything located! LOL... hoping to find new stuffs everytime i get there, nah.. not really.. but i guess lots of christmas stuff will be out this week... and unfortunately, i'm not there this week...

so yea... spent quite alot at ikea but it's all paid for anyway.. hehehehe..

extra OT? ...not

about 2 months ago or so.. can't really remember... there was a request from another dept asking for help to reduce their email backlog.... and since they were paying for that, i jumped in to help...

went for a 3 day training after work... which made me bloody tired... and had me think twice if i should do it or not... anyway, i went on with it...

the first few days, so ber-ia ia doing emails after work... like as if earning lots of OT.. but because of being new in this, i only managed to get about 5 done in a day.. sheesh... so lousy...

then the weekend came.. thought i could spend the whole weekend doing emails, but still, the issue of moving out and packing and stuff just took most of my time.... only been doing abit here and there whenever i can....

now that i'm home... i'm trying to finish what's left of my emails... sigh.... wonder how much will i get knowing i didn't do much emails....

sigh... OT it seems... hhahahah....

but it was a good experience, i mean, i get to learn new stuff on new products other than the one i'm already supporting....

the death and resurrection of lappy

i can't understand on why suddenly the bloody hdd in my lappy just dieded.... it's only been like 6 months or so...

first i though i'd send it back to c-zone.. but when i got there, they were closed for stock-check.. and i was told to go straight to HP...

so i finally found a day to go to HP...(took sometime to find a place - as u know KL, u see the building but have a really hard time finding the road there!!)... finally found the place and left my lappy to them...

for about 5 days or so, i was hoping that my pics would all be saved... my downloads... my One Tree Hill..

didn't hear anything from them, so i decided to call, they were supposed to call before they did anything just to verify with me.. but they didn't, so when i called them, the girl said, my lappy is ready for pickup.. it's like wtf!! u were supposed to informed me on the situation first!!!

so blablabla.... appointment was made to pick it up and to check with their tech on my data in the old hdd...

next day, i went to pick it up... totally new hdd... spoke with the tech, tried accessing my old hdd with other pcs - nothing, the tech couldn't hear anything in the hdd, nothing moving, no buzzying noise.. NOTHING!.. it was dead.. and there goes my files.... painful i tell u!

had to let it be la.... brought my lappy back, next day brought it to work and started to install every damn thing... i still haven't installed certain things yet though...

tht's it for my lappy... it dieded, and brought back to life, with a new head! hahahahah sigh.... now for precausion, i gotten an external hdd to backup my files.... hehehehe.... (got it from the recent PICOM pc fair at KLCC)

the X meetup

it happened about the same time when i was looking at places to move and the major move to Daisy's place...

it was nice of him to come to KL to help me.. though he was already in KL to settle his own move out too.. yes, he's finally letting go of his room in Ampang... very painful move i tell u.. cause his land lady threw out some of his things... (the WRONG things!!)...

and since it was an emotional period for both of us.. me of the news to move out and moving to a new place and he loosing valuable things and still having useless things... and all that hoo haa.. we supported each other...

so when i was about to move, he helped alot, i took some of his left over furniture from his old place and helped me paint the bathroom, kitchen and fixed some nettings and nails and hooks for me at the new place... in the mean time, we caught up with updates of the past year and came to our closure...

finally we managed to find the time and was emotionally strong enough to say what we needed to say to finalised the breakup 1 year ago...

surprisingly it went well, we both know what has happened, and now more clear of the future for ourselves... we made some agreements that we couldn't really make before... and that was good... and at the end of the day, we're still good friends, we'll still be there for each other and support each other in everything...

i told him bout mysterious-guy... and he told me bout his brief encounter with a girl.... and it was all good.. no weirdness felt... :) i'm glad that it became to that...

so to sotong-dugong, i thank you for loving me, i thank you for the good times we both had, i thank you for the bad times too and the experiences we both had in our journey in being a couple... i wish you the best and hope everything u planned for will come true. i will always be there for you if u need my help and that u'll always be in my heart no matter what... thank you for everything...

the MOVE.....

move.. as is.. moving from one place to another... and yes, i've finally moved out from my cousin's place in Gombak to Wangsa Maju... much much closer to town...

i found this place through a so-called friend online, his cousin - Daisy was finding a housemate because her's left for Sarawak... so since i was also looking for a place, i met up with her... hung out with her a few times, to get to know her before seeing the place...

then finally when she actually cleaned the place (from her prev housemates stuffs), i saw her place... it was ... different from places i would actually stay... it's a 2 room flat.. the flat looks like it's been there for ages... and there's 4 cats... so u can only imagine...

i tried to see the place in another view... clean here and there, scrub here and there... paint here and there, should look much better... and because i'm soft hearted (and being someone who can't really say no..) and i gotten fond of Daisy, i agreed to stay with her...

so.... (take note- i'm supposed to be writing this a month ago... ) i've moved in and it's been 2 weird weeks staying at Wangsa Maju.. but dun worry, i feel it's gonna be ok...

dun ask me for my address.. have no idea- yet! LOL

MAX Kitchen and Wine

team dinner was held in MAX, greatly recommended by the Makan King himself... and because he's been there like a few times, he made friends with the owner - Max Chin that the managed to get a special made menu - not in the ordinary menu... and it's only for u...

food at Max is very personal - it's a one man show, Max himself cooks the food... so if he thinks he has too much orders, he'll just close the doors and just serve the current customers and wouldn't mind not having new customers....

that's what i call.... exclusive man!!

anyway, another of my colleague blogged about our dinner too. Check it out here

food here in Max is more of western style but you can see the fusion that Max tries to accomplish... and mind you he does a heck of a very good job! with his wonderful food, there are great wines that will compliment this dishes.. it ranges from the normal wines and the more exotic and $$$ ones...

the atmosphere of his place is very cosy, warm (not heat type of warm but ppl type of warm) and will good piping music.. one could feel like just spending the whole night there with good food, wine and just talking with your good friends and not wanting to go home...

one of his cute plates

here comes the appetizers.... this is mushrooms...

smoked duck! WONDERFUL!!!

vegetarian...

then the main meal comes...

beef and mushrooms





beef cheeks!! i think this is the best!! it just melts in your mouth! vegetarian main meal

seafood combo!


they saved the best for last - DESSERTS!
want to know how damn good this is?

GRA - Grass Racing Autocross

it's been a while since i saw piggy dugong and when she told me she was coming down to kl for her vroom vroom friends racing event - GRA , i made my schedule clear and made it that i went down to meet her... luckily the x was around, so he accompanied me and finally found the place...

location : Shah Alam Stadium car park (opposite the GoKart area)

time: whole day event

here's their so call podium... sheds for those who didn't want to stay in the drizzle, and also location for the prizes for the million categories they have... hehehehe... every car event will ALWAYS have sexy girls... and yes, there were sexy car girls... piggy said this time the girls were better looking than the previous event.. sorry guys.. no pics of them... :P

one of the cars in their turn... some cars had nice stickers on it, some not much, some was loud with turbo, some was normal... some skidded (wet road), some managed to get good time... it was quite interesting... it's my first so called car event..

still wondering why no myvi's participating - is it because the car's too high?

here are some cars just parked to display their stickers and promote a car-night at masons earlier this month.... myvi there, but it was just for promotion of the event..

can you spot piggy dugong.. time keeper it seems.. hahahah... (joking!)

cars all lined up after the event... finally it's over after a whole day... here piggy's honey bun (in the middle) smiling for the camera not knowing it was piggy's friend who was taking the pig.. that fella can wave somemore u know!! LOL

last final group shot before prize giving...

we were tired after a long day...

finally get to see piggy after everything.. that too only for a few mins... managed to shake hands with her honey bun... but that's about it... well can't wait to see her this christmas!! really need some emotional support now....

miss ya piggy!

striking out the mysterious-guy post

yes... i'm not gonna blog about him, cause.. there's nothing happening... he has found someone else even without trying to see if it would happen with me.. he didn't even give me a chance...

so... here's another so-called breakup (from a relationship which were supposed to happen but didn't) i got to recover from now...

hey all

i'm online at home!!!!

YEAY!!!

heheheh.... wondering eh? :P

lappy's back...

and the whole hdd was gone... they replaced it under warranty... and yes... EVERY freaking thing is gone... *cry*

now.. i'm trying to salvage whatever i have from my work pc, thumbdrive and camera memory card... sigh.... managed to get NEARLY all.. and i'm sure i'm missing a good set of pics... damn it...

and my downloads!!! luckily i finished watching the last season of Gilmore Girls... now, just have to download One Tree Hill.... again!

sigh....

i can't wait to go home! and what's worst.. the family is playing christmas music.. makes me wanna go home sooner! :(

mummy used to say...

"that if i laugh so much... sure cry the next minute"

well to some extent, i believe her....

i was having a GREAT time yesterday, with new friends, first time doing my famous "laugh" (that my beloved penang ppl love) in front of my KL friends... it's been a VERY LONG while since i laughed like that... eventhough i was quite tired.. but damn! this ppl are so freaking funny! hahahah.... it just puts a smile on my face remembering what happened yesterday...

but then comes to my mum's saying... it's sort of true.. though i did not cry (or not crying)... i feel shitty today... so not in the mood of working, just wanna stay home and do nothing.. and somehow feel that i'm sliding off, wanting to go to my corner again...

maybe i'm just protective or just a spoilt brat that i want it all to myself.. but when there's sharing.... i just backoff and let them have it... and i feel 2nd all over again.. what's worst - 3rd... and i HATE that feeling....

Under the same sky,

over the same land,

i'm always with you...

what do you do when...

....

- you have no lunch/food at home

- you have no laptop to use at home

- you have no plans

- you have not much $$$

... what would you do?

you go to work, do OT for another dept in your company!

sad... i feel so pathetic!

AT LEAST lah i got plans tomorrow.... not so sad afterall

sigh....

i miss home...

i thought i can do away home for 2 months... and when i do that.. so many fcking things happening that i just feel like giving up and going home.. everythings so simpler at home...

no one's "pushing/asking/requesting" you for things you dun want to give

no one's "questioning" your priorities and principles

no one's "messing" with your head

no one's "putting ideas" in your mind

no one's "ignoring" your thoughts

i know i should be "open" to new experiences and stuffs in the BIG city... but.... damn it, i'm from a simple background.. no hoo haaas.... what u expect from me?

as what a good friend told me... "they are out there to cheat and rob from you"

sigh...

maybe i should stick to going home once a week just to get away from these ppl...

u're mad, u're in desperate need..

you're ANGRY at the whole world..

you think no one cares

you feel that u cannot depend on anyone..

u're about to jeapordise your career...

then someone comes last minute, goes all the way out to help you

and when when u get help, your just ignore and no reply your messages...

... not even a word of updates or thanks....

10 Dec

will it happen?

i'm still in doubt...

but, it CAN happen and i can't wait for it to happen...

please make it happen!!

my dear lappy

i figured (or actually my colleagues said - they're always a help, luv u guys! ) that i should bring him to his HQ for checkup/fixing... so the next day after finding out that c-zone was closed for a few days for stock-check, i brought him to HQ and they said it'll take 3 days.. but they'll call me about my data...

still no calls from HQ

i really *cross my fingers* hope that my PHOTOS, downloads and mp3 are ok....

ohh lappy!! why lappy!! it's only been ... what... 5 months????!!!!

*cry*

:(
