Tables turned around

Before I get label a male chuvanist hahaha ya right!! This is a superb piece sent to me by Mr.Scud



Just a thought?

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said "WHAT????!!! What was that?!"

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear..."You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits.

She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'll just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings.

Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement.

Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier." I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled "WHAT???!!!" I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.

Thanks

Saturday With the Birthday Boy

Lazing around the hse the Birthday boy drag me for lunch at Avenue K nice place to have lunch and very economical. Finally lunch was at 2.30pm after he spent a good amout of out time there at Toy-R-Us.

Now Toy-R-Us are a big place but this fella stick to one section only...No prizes for guessing which section. TRANSFORMERS!!

What do I do while waiting past lunch, ronda-ronda the place twice then take pics of him at his happy land for my blog hahaha Hungry Ready mau makan....!!!


This is one man's love for Transformers and he is not alone

An got movie coming out somemore!!!! I only love Generation 1
Autobots vs Decepticons....Optimus Prime vs Megatron

Sat with the birthday boy and Toy-R-Us!!! Duh!!

Being the birthday boy does have its advantages. So the birthday boy picks me up for lunch to Avenue K. This is at bout 1pm but do we go and eat 1st noooooooo we go and see toys at Toys-R-Us

Why Transformers?

Well this kido that turned 30 went to check out the lot in Avenue K draggin my along to have lunch with him. Hey me a kid too coz I love Transformer. Autobots vs Decepticons and it ends there all the follow-up and other spin-off made me lose interest but not for my pal. He once showed up in my house for Tea putting on display his toy!!! Sigh

For the less incliend

Launched in 1984, the Transformers toyline was promoted through both a comic book by Marvel Comics and an animated series produced by Sunbow Productions.

It won me over alright.The minute the theme song played I would go running to watch, the battle between the Decepticons & Autobots lead by Megatron and Optimus Prime.

Later it evolved and lost the originality that I loved about it so much. But my buddy is a hard core fan. and rightfully he is bout each characted and the generation of transformers.

In this incarnation the planet Cybertron is running low on energy. The Heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, set out in space to search for more energy but are attacked by the Evil Decepticons led by Megatron. Both races crash on Earth and lie in suspended animation for the next four million years. Awakened by a volcanic eruption, the computer on board, Teletraan I, begins repairing Decepticons and Autobots. The Decepticons set out to plunder Earth's energy resources in order to have the energy to conquer Cybertron. The Autobots seek to prevent this and so the battle is renewed on Earth, Cybertron and across space.

This is for me buddy - Stay Ori - I was sad to find Optimus Prime as a Dodge and Darthvadar as a Transformer. Sigh thats marketing for you

So a brief intro to the 2 key players

	Megatron Allegiance: Decepticon Function: Decepticon Leader First Comic Appearance: Transformers #1 "Everything is fodder." Profile: Love, compassion, mercy are words that have no meaning for Megatron. He has risen to the leadership of the Decepticons by a combination of brute strength, military cunning, ruthlessness, and terror. On Cybertron he was commanding general in charge of all military operations against the Autobots, who referred to him as "The Slag-Maker." It was a title of fear. A title of respect. A title Megatron relished. His banishment to Earth has only made him more bitter and more evil-minded, if that is possible. He aches to return to Cybertron and complete his mission of eradicating the Autobots. But while on Earth he is dedicated to eliminating those Autobots marooned here with him- and his plans go far beyond that. He realizes the Earth is one huge stockpile of metal and fuel resources and means to possess it all, with the aid of his fellow Decepticons. But his plans go even further, plans so grandiose even his fellow Decepticons are unaware: Megatron intends to enslave the entire human race. He allows no exceptions to his motto. Abilities: Megatron is incredibly powerful and intelligent, the equal of Autobot Leader Optimus Prime. His fusion cannon can convert any small amount of matter into large quantities of explosive nuclear energy. The cannon can fire a blast up to 12 miles and release enough energy to flatten a small town. Megatron can use his internal circuitry to connect the cannon interdimensionally with a black hole, where it can draw on anti-matter as its power source. The blast from this is far greater, but it creates a tremendous strain on Megatron to do this for even one blast. Weaknesses: Megatron has no known weaknesses.

	Optimus Prime Allegiance: Autobot Function: Autobot Commander First Comic Appearance: Transformers #1 "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." Profile: If he had been on Earth, he would be a doctor, a mechanic, a scientist and a warrior. But on Cybertron there is no difference between these professions. So Optimus uses his skills to heal and repair- which are the same things to Autobots- to improve the world around him and, if necessary, to fight. Both in power and intelligence, he has no equal. He has the personality of an Abraham Lincoln. He can be immensely kind and his compassion extends to all that lives, including the creatures of Earth. Yet he will battle unceasingly to protect the weak and defend what he believes in. To accomplish this, Optimus knows that the Decepticons must be defeated for all time. Abilities: In robot mode. Optimus Prime actually splits into three components. The Optimus module is the robotic sentient being that is the storehouse of his vast knowledge and strength. He can lift 4,000,000 lbs. and a blow from his fist exerts a force of 12,000 lbs. per sq. inch. He carries a laser rifle and can burn a hole in the nosecone of a Decepticon jet fighter at a distance of 30 miles, aided by his outstanding visual acuity. His Prime module, also known as Roller, is a small cart-shaped device that he uses to unobtrusively slip behind enemy lines. He can maintain radio control over it at distances up to 1200 miles. Having Roller present somewhere is like being there himself. He can operate by remote-control his Combat Deck module up to a distance of 1500 feet. The Auto-Launcher mounted on the Deck can use a variety of artillery and radiation beam weapons, including most of those used by his fellow Autobots. The Launcher also includes a highly dexterous grapple-arm which allows it to load itself and change its weaponry. The communications disk antenna mounted on the launcher provides a link between Optimus and all his fellow Autobots within a radius of 50 miles. It can be adapted to a satellite hook-up that increases its effective range 10-fold. Weaknesses: Although Optimus Prime can function as three independent modules, injury to any one ot the modules is felt by the other two. Roller is particularly vulnerable, especially in the behind-the-lines situations in which he specializes. However, the Optimus module is by far the most important component of the trio. Although he could survive without the other two, they could not survive without him. Otherwise, the only weakness he could be accused of having is being too compassionate and concerned about the safety of others. He would be a more effective military commander if he were more ruthless, but then he wouldn't be Optimus Prime.

The Guys' Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.) We always hear "the rules" From the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note...these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months IS a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will Be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is fine... Really.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.

My best badminton performance

I have always believed in doing my best and an improved performance in my activities week in and week out.

Its been 6 months of almost weekly foray into the badminton courts, I was invited by Jen to join his group of badminton...being a little sceptical as I had not held a racquet for over many years, also it was a good way for me to get back on my feet and my fitness.

Once a week seem quite good for me so I went to be a racquet at Care4 at 50 ringgit only, coz I am not gonna waste my time investing on a 200$ racquest without being able to last. RM 40 investment on a power shoe and there I was week after week. Sometime missing it due to work or trips. My main goal was to improve.

Last night was my best performance on the court, so much so I knew I was flying, it was not a perfect game but I could control my shuttle, my drives my lobs and I was all over the court. The uncles who play at the court praised my game and Jen also said I am the most improved.

I am happy at that but still I wont let it go to my head, week after week I want to improve my technique, my game, my match fitness. My backhand which was always my weakest part of the game surprisingly, I over came it but not trying to force the shuttle to their offensive but use my strength in cross court drop and shorter strokes catching them off guard. I played with different partners and even I was like ok time to give someone else a chance to play, they asked my to join them for the next set. I was so elated.

This would be a benchmark performance which not I have to over come week after week. I SMS Jen that night to thank him and how hapi I was that bugger wanted 5 bachelor nite as repayment hahaha Up urs Jen

After the best session of badminton, I earned a session of chilly frog legs as a reward for me efforts on the court.

Patting my own back....well done vadai.... now for bedminton hahaha

The good old KL REX

Reading her blog on Rex theater gave me an idea for mine and I decided to write me memoried of that theater.

I look back and reflect her article on the good old days when Rex KL used to be THE place to watch the latest movies. It was him happening and what more its near Petaling Street.
It be placed we take out gfren to , dates, night out and stuff....

Today the in thing is cosyness comfort and places like this of slowly dies a natural death.

Facts:
- After more than 25 years in operation, GSC Rex KL closed its doors for the last time on November 15, 2002.
- The original Rex Theatre burned down in the early 1970s.
- A new single screen, 1100-seat theater was erected in its place in 1976.
- The newer Rex's auditorium is not only larger, but it contains a balcony.
- The Rex became the first cinema in Malaysia to have a DTS sound system in 1993 in conjunction with the opening of Jurassic Park.
- The front foyer was revamped in 1995 and computerized ticketing was installed.


I will aways miss Rex for sentimental reasons it a place I hanged out, a place where the que would go around the block on the 39th day to buy ticket for Jurassic Park(DTS)....many would probably not get an experience of sitting in a 1000 seat theater

hmmmmm life passing moment

For most of us, it is the cinema we grew up with. But for the younger generation, it is sad that they will probably never get to experience watching a movie on a giant screen, just like the ones in these old cinemas.

Guys night out

one of the keen aspect of life is breaking free, being free, being urself , taking leave of your current cycle or days and night for the night out.

Such a night was last night.... the one thing when guys plan thing it it more of a guideline then an actual policy ... It was a pleasure meeting DOM for dinner and he was everything expected of him and more. Sadly he did nto join us for the rest of the night.

Then we headed to the night out and singing and dancing and drinking as a good fren said
1) Loved the singing
2) Loved the buzz form the boze
3) Loved the women
4) Loved the entire soap drama
5) Loved the joy ride

It was an everntful evening that ended into the wee hours of the morning... what was important, we never forgot who we were, and everyone went home safe.

Would I do it again .. Hell Yeah.(any sponsors)

Point to note, when its a guys night out its strictly a guys night out, girls not invited lol and dun ask why lol - take a hint when they say its a guys night out



One song for the road Flying Without Wings Lyrics

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
a simple line can make you laugh or cry
You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
and when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So impossible, as they may seem
You've got to fight, for every dream
'cause who's to know, which one you let go
would've made you complete

Well, for me it's waking up beside you, To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you, At any given time or place
It's the little things that only I know

Those are the things that make you mine, And it's like flying without wings
'Cause you're my special thing, I'm flying without wings

And you're the place my life begins, and you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings, And that's the joy you bring

I'm flying without wings

Great game Great Goal Great Save

Futsal yesterday started out with a little damper as by 8pm only 9 showed up form a record 15 the previous week. Started out 5 on 4 till Beem showed up a little late, then it was game on,, during the course of the game I switch to being keeper to try to recover. a 5 aside game, after a spell I got into the game and it was very taxing for everyone, the pace of the game and the tide of the game.

It was a worthy workout and that the idea of thse session then weekly you show progression. I thunder bolted 2 great goals which my buddy Jen could not have saved but on a free ball shot at goal he charged at me to block the shot, as I began to take the shot mid high i crashed into the giant spectularly as he went crashign down and a goal saved. Well done Jen.


Almost crawl out of the the picth muscles all sore. And I love it

Liverpool walk alone at the top

LONDON: Liverpool pipped Manchester United to top spot in an all-time league table dating back to the start of English League soccer and published by The Times newspaper yesterday.

According to the standings, which awards three points for a win and one for a draw since the start of league soccer in 1888, Liverpool, who have won a record 18 league titles, emerged with 5,927 points from their 3,643 matches – an average of 1.63 points a game.

Manchester United, who have won 15 titles, were second with 5,337 points from their 3,287 matches – an average of 1.62 points per game followed by Arsenal, champions 13 times, who totalled 5,780 points from 3,643 matches at 1.59 points a match.

Despite playing only 2,063 matches in the top division, Leeds United were fourth with 1.48 average points with Aston Villa fifth (1.47), Everton sixth (1.47), Tottenham Hotspur seventh (1.44), Newcastle United eighth (1.43), Wolverhampton Wanderers ninth (1.42) and Burnley 10th (1.41).

Chelsea, champions for the last two seasons, are 14th (average 1.39 points) and would have to total more than 90 points a season for the next 23 years to overhaul Liverpool’s present average points per game.

Leyton Orient, who spent one season in the top division in 1962-63, placed 62nd and last in the list with 0.64 points a match.

Everton, founder members of the league in 1888, have played more top flight matches than any other club: 4,027 while Liverpool have won more than anyone else: 1,674. Everton also hold the record for the most drawn games (987) and defeats (1,402). – Reuters

Lightning Strikes twice??

Sometimes, bad things come just after another. Like a Malay proverb, 'Sudah Jatuh diTimpa Tangga' (you've fallen off the ladder, and later the ladder fell on you)

A fren of mind had a dream to study, coming up thru life the hard way supporting the family. Finally began to initiate steps to study, taking a personal load and getting approval to work and study the same time. When you think that you turned the corner then tragedy struck.

1st the brother got caught in loan shark ( not the 1st time mind you), then the same time, it comes to light that the housing loan the brother is servicing is long over due and the cover from withdrawing EPF has not materialized and bogged down so the bank is proceeding to auction the property. (Asking for undertable to stall it). So decided to for-go the education and use the personal loan to help off set the bro's prob

The home run was on returning from banking some money for the bro, had a drink to clear the head, climb into a cab headed home. Upon reaching the house found the wallet lost, so began the journey to recover back which was in vain. Sudah jatuh di timpa tangga.

Life goes on

ADI AMMAVASAI - Why we fast!

ADI AMAVASAI On the darkest night of the month of Adi (July - August) called Adi Amavasai a fast is undertaken in remembrance of departed fathers. It is a day of worship and of abstinence from meat and fish.

Amavasai means new moon and on the new moon of every month our ancestors are remembered. The new moon that falls on the Hindu month of Aadi (July/August) is considered especially auspicious and on this day upavasa (fasting) and special poojas are observed by sons whose fathers have passed on to remember and honor them.

So today I honour my father and forefathers

It is fascinating to think how the tradition is preserved by the power of faith.

Greatest American Hero - 1981-1983

I love this program, awesome and funny and realistic lol as compare to all the new superhero movies that comes out

The Greatest American Hero tv show was an adventure / comedy series about a Los Angeles high school teacher (Ralph Hinkley) who was given a red flying suit by aliens during a field trip to the desert. An F.B.I. agent convinces him to use the suit to fight crime. Ralph later discovers that the suit also gives him the power to become invisible, to see things from great distances and to see through solid objects. During the first season only, Ralph also sometimes included his students in his crime-stopping adventures.

When wearing the suit he has all the powers of a superhero. The trouble is he lost the suit's instruction book in episode one and has to figure out how it works as he goes along. If you think this is a broad, goofy comedy or kid's show ... The Greatest American Hero is nothing short of one of the greatest TV shows of all time.

The theme song just run off your tongue..The theme song for the series became a major hit on the charts during the summer of 1981

Greatest American Hero Theme Song Lyrics

Title: "Believe It Or Not" Written By: "Mike Post and Stephen Geyer"

Performed By: "Joey Scarbury"

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free eee eee.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

It's like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true ue ue.

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free eee eee.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - Review

I bought a ticket and watch this alone and it was a joyride...The movie is visually stunning - the CGI is top rate and you won't spend the whole film groaning about how fake things appear on the screen.

Acting was brilliant. Johnny Depp once again proves why he's the only man alive who can play the role of Cap. Jack Sparrow. There's a great number of returning characters from the first film

The plot was a little flat and dragging at time...Will Turner has a family reunion with his father...Elizabeth Swann again does not shine and fall flat...Depp's Oscar-nominated performance as Captain Jack is still a marvel .....Nighy certainly rivals Depp in the arrogant rock star stance, even if he has tentacles for a face......the countdown is on for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (tentative title?) due out in May 2007

Oh yeah Captain Barbosa is back!!!

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

You wanna see who is the guy acting as Davy Jones he is Bill Nighy,

I am most probably going to watch this tonight, Will let you know my feeling of the review.

In the 1st Priates there was so much taste and drame wiht Jack Sparrow and Barbosa that kept the movie alive and lets see if Billly boy and Jonnie can keep this super movie together.

Me single seater tonight coz I can go with all the kaki that going on friday so all of who are going on Friday please dun read the next blog (please read so it spoils ur friday) hahaha

Cheers

Futsal - Monday July 18

It was great step into the turf having missed futsal over the past 2 week for various reasons, despite arriving from my vacation at 5.3am, catching 2 hours of sleep b4 headin to the office and after office to the court can be quite challanging. That me, playing with Heart!!!

The amount of weight I have put on in the past 2 weeks and on vacation drove me to this. By the time we started we had a surplus number of people 15 to be exact. So we played survival style, 5 on 5 and have 2 goals scored against you and ur team is out and the next team comes in.

WE played out hearts out knowing that losing mean we have to sit out while the other team comes in. We played with heart and there are time we win and times we lose, at one point we were on a 2 game streak during which I took a close range shot into my face causing my to be stunned for a few minutes earning a scar just near my eye. Such is the game, the consolation we won that match!!!... Yeehaaaaaa

Men Bashing Part 2

Back to Men bashing but I do not mean to generalize women into a category but more of the time when relationships end Guy and Gals handle differently. I have talked to a lot of friends who have had breakups, and a lot of them say the same thing which through personal experience I tend to agree. The girl who just dumped them expects the relationship to stay close and for them to be best friends. For a guy that dead end road

To me, this song is saying what is really in the mind of all those guys. I consider myself pretty forgiving, but I would feel exactly as this song says, that she has no right to act as if nothing is different.

A fren of mine if going thru such an episode, he want to close the door and move forward she keep reeling him back wanting to be best frens. Hello Bro! slam the door mate

In the end for a guy if you can handle it then go a head but if not for god sake tell her


Phil Collins - Separate Lives
You called me from the room in your hotel, All full of romance
For someone that you met, Telling me how sorry you were
Leaving so soon, And that you miss me sometimes
When you're alone in your room, Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can't go on holding onto ties
Now that we're living separate lives

I held on to let you go, And if you lost your love for me
You never let it show, There was no way to compromise
So now we're living separate lives

Oh, it's so typical, Love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Someday I might, Find myself looking in your eyes
But for now we'll go on living, Separate lives

Yes, for now we'll go on living, Separate lives

Men bashing blogs

I frequent a lot of blogs and recently I noticed a trend of guy bashing / partner backing generally directed at men. Kind of irked me that the band of blogger who generalize men into the same basket just coz they had a rotten apple. So here todat Darthvadai pays tribute in the more jovial manner possible on ...What Men Really Mean

"It's a guy thing."
Really means...."There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical."

"Can I help with dinner?"
Really means...."Why isn't it already on the table?"

"Uh huh," "Sure, honey," or "Yes, dear."
Really means....Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response.

"It would take too long to explain."
Really means..."I have no idea how it works.

"We're going to be late."
Really means...."Now I have a legitimate excuse to drive like a maniac."

"Take a break, honey, you're working too hard."
Really means...."I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."

"That's interesting, dear."
Really means...."Are you still talking?"

"It's a really good movie."
Really means...."It's got guns, knives, fast cars, and beautiful women."

"That's women's work."
Really means...."It's difficult, dirty, and thankless."

"You know how bad my memory is."
"Really means.... "I remember the theme song to 'F Troop', the address of the first girl I ever kissed and the Vehicle Identification Numbers of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday."

"I was just thinking about you, and got you these roses."
Really means.... "The girl selling them on the corner was a real babe."

"Oh, don't fuss. I just cut myself, it's no big deal."
Really means.... "I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit I'm hurt."

"Hey, I've got my reasons for what I'm doing."
Really means.... "...And I sure hope I think of some pretty soon."

"I can't find it."
Really means.... "It didn't fall right into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."

"What did I do this time?"
Really means.... "What did you catch me at?"

"I heard you."
Really means.... "I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said, and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't spend the next 3 days yelling at me."

"You know I could never love anyone else."
Really means.... "I am used to the way you yell at me, and realize it could be worse."

"You look terrific."
Really means.... "Oh, God, please don't try on one more outfit. I'm starving."

"I'm not lost. I know exactly where we are."
Really means.... "No one will ever see us alive again."

"We share the housework."

July 14-16 - Hadyai!!!!

I went for a holiday in Hadyai, It was awesome, the company was good, the place was rocking, 3 days of holiday , refreshed, recharged and ready to jump at life again,

Food was awesome, shopping was even better, sex life there was awesome and dun let me start about the massage.

I had every combination of food imaginable, tomyam to thai food, shark fin (actual shark fin), birds nest, Visit to the market, the wet market, the way of life there just magical. Booze hahah 7 11 only start selling booze after 5pm, its a ruling. Who cares we had the time of ourlives


Pictures to follow soon

July 13 Badminton / Unsolicited advise

Badminton was awesome today, returning to the court after a 3 week layoff the last week did not go to an injury I picked up on my shoulder. What I lacked in stamina I made up for it with heart, my drop and smashes were good, my cross court in short It was one of my best games so far. Commie dropped by to pass my the digital camera. I came back home exhausted but very very hapi


During the day I received an sms that kind of disturbed me. A fren who I have known for sometime decided to evaluate me (as if I asked) on the status of a caring fren. It called into question where I was in my life and the fact the O&G market is on a VSS mode and I had slumped into a lull and complacent (hard to quote exact words but the gist of it is like this) and was not like what I was before.

I was like WTF. Carl Sagan said "We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers." Were there questions of courage or blind attack, unsolicited unprovoked.

To me I evalute the questioneer simply by this principal. How well do you know me aqnd my life? How well do you know my job? How well do you know my life and what I go thru in my life to judge me? What is it you see that others who are also my frens do not? How come only you see it?

Being a fren is welcomed but it had its boundries, being a fren does not give you the right to blast someone in their face or by phone or by sms just coz you think and assume what that person is. It becomes a sick joke expecially when you do this stunt as you shoot your self in the foot.

Anyway the foot is in the wrong mouth.

An advise, never think you know everything about a person to blast that perons in the name of care or concern or watever, always 2 sides to a coin, you may end up with you foot in your mouth

July 11 Tues - Missing meeting frens - 1 year on the job,

Tues Jul 11 marked the 1 year I been with my new place; it was a great feeling as me and another girl were the pioneer group for this company and looking down 1 year ago how much we have achieved as a company and as an individual to move forward. As a treat we both had a cake.

I know I have done well and progressed, I have grown in product knowledge and even had company paid trips to Goa for training and holiday, Singapore for due diligence and possibly in Sept to California.

Lets see where I am in another year.


Sometime due to my job and the numerous juggling that I do I miss hanging out wiht me frens, going out clubing with them or meeting them on a regular basis like before, many factors, work family, finance comes to play when. I hope thing will turn around and I get to meet them more.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.

Sat with Jnr Vadai

I always make the effort to go back to PK when even the opportunities clears even in the darkest hours because of Jnr Vadai. He is in a stage of his life where he began to see the bigger picture. Again he stumble on to sdome chicken rice on his visit to the house and gobbled it up


There were a few issues to handle among which a close one who want to throw away a marriage of almost 20 years based on some run of bad timing or emotion and ill advise from people.

Then I got an aunt thats turning 70 over the coming weekend and get block form attending to be politicially correct.

Then I got an uncle who is having PMS and an aunt that confides in me. Sigh

Still it always to have Jnr in my arms. Miss and love him always. He got a few school activities coming up, a camping trip and a holiday trip. Must make sure he goes for it. Having grown up not being able to afford to go for thing, for a 5 year old not to go would be a crime coz. This is his childhood and his growing up time.

Mama mia - Azzurie Win la and the guys at my house

Commie, Mr.Scud led the charge of guys crashing in my house to watch the finals. David came late as usual and it was awesome wiht Angel butting in. We were rooted to the end, as it was an end to end game. I was rooting for the Italians and even wrote it on the wall chart pointed out by Mr.Scud


We had lovely bites to munch thru the night all pot luck tit bit tooo


It was a performance that was all the more remarkable for the pressure that has been exerted on these Italian footballers because of the match-fixing scandal that could end with 13 of them being relegated to Italy's third division.
What a way to mark your 100th cap, by captaining your country to World Cup glory. and they throughly deserve it.

There much was else to admire, from the silk-and-steel midfield combination of Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso, to the swashbuckling raids of full-backs Gianluca Zambrotta and Fabio Grosso. It was the Grosso's penalty that sealed victory in the Final.


Italy's Fabio Cannavaro lifts the trophy after defeating France 5-3 in a shotout in the final of the soccer World Cup between Italy and France in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Sunday, July 9, 2006.

How France Lost it?

I suppose the head should say that Italy won but it is so much more fun to say that France lost:
The vision that Zinedine Zidane claims appeared before him last year and urged him to come out of international retirement will be paying him another visit before long to slap him at the back of his head. Over a silly stupid headbutt

What happened here in the Olympic Stadium will haunt the France captain forever. Outplayed for an hour and into extra time, the Italians won it after French captain Zinedine Zidane was ejected in the 107th for a vicious butt to the chest of Marco Materazzi.

It was the ugliest act of a tournament that set records for yellow and red cards, diving and, at times, outright brutality. And yet he wins the golden ball. He is brilliant, a gladiator and an awesome human being and player but consistant he was not, he did not shine game after game, match after match. That honour would go to Canavaro but sadly the dong's did not think so swayed by the hu ha that surrounded him

His farewell to the world of football was one that will be remembered not for what he gave to the global game but for what he took away from his fans all around the globe.

Sunday - Low Yatt, Walking Center of the road in Jln Bukit Bintang

When I went IT shopping with cash in my wallet was the day of the World Cup Finals, went to buy a couple of desktop and laptop and some accessories. After placeing the order, sitting outsdie having a nice beer and lunch ( refer to night b4 at commie place) we decided to take a walk, Bukit Bintang was being turned into a Giant Street Party

Me and Commie went walking in the center of the road in JBB and it was awesome the way they turned it around, setting up the props and all.

We had awesome fun touring the place and in some pics u can see commie in his bodyguard outfit.






























I must record this. Commander in his 3/4 pants and dark glasses can look pretty intimidating as my body guard in the shop. Where ever I went he was looking over my shoulder, even when I tried to shake him off there he was again. Commander can offer himself as a full time bodyguard.

So we are leaving the place came across this unique sign which I stopped the car and must take pic moment lol. The main road JBB was closed to traffic so we had to take the back lanes and we were laughing out socks off when we saw this sign. All the Ah moi take the night off to watch wrold cup ah??? or no business bankrupt?

Pub hopping for Germany 3rd placing match.

One thing about following Commie you never will know where you will end up. So here I was on the Saturday I came up from Klang, we ended up in Sunway Mentari pub hopping there we came across a nice chinese band which I must say was a treat to watch.


Anybody who want a recording of Commie trying to join the band in a sing along of the song "Menghitung Hari" the bids start at RM 50

Germany Gets 3rd

Germany took third place Saturday in the World Cup, beating Portugal 3-1 on two sensational goals by Bastian Schweinsteiger. He also set up the third, when his free kick was deflected in for an own-goal by Portugal's Armando Petit.

Here I was leaving Klang, Commender takes me to his cousin place to watch the game only to have the pub close on us. Damm that commando!!!! He finally made is up by watching it in his place. It was nice bachelor's pad

I need ot get out of my house more often and hang out with guys and lepak a bit. I kind of need that male bonding thing

For all that worth Thanks Commando

Random Ramblings of A Retired Retainer

Tuesday, July 04, 2006

Sometimes it is difficult for people to be grateful. Let me share you a story that my friend Som sent me.

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment.
She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me.
I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my classmates said, "EEEE, your mom only has one eye!"
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear.
So I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?!!!"
My mom did not respond...
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go to Singapore to study.
Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts.
Then one day, my mother came to visit me.
She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children!"GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!"
And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house in Singapore.
So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died.
I did not shed a single tear.
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
“My dearest son. I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to Singapore and scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.
But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.
I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye.
So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.
With my love to you,
Your mother.

Many of you, I am sure have given up more than an eye. Some might not get the gratefulness that is universally expected. Such is life.


Pass this around in ur emails

Losing My Religion - Insanity/Depressions

Where ever I can be, doing whats ever I am doing this song would make me freeze on my tracks, this is by far one of the most haunting song I have even come across, I put this up in the ranks of Queen, the kind of song that make you pause, reflect, its got a lot of personal meaning to me back then days when I was a volunteer councelor at the hospital overseas, haunting moments and dark moments that though me a lot.

Life is bigger, It's bigger than you
And you are not me, The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes, Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner, That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion, Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much, I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper, Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions, Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this (2x), The hint of the century
Consider this, The slip that brought me
To my knees failed, What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around, Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream, That was just a dream
That's me in the corner, That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion, Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it, Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough, I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing, I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream, That was just a dream

In a way its about insanity/depression. How when one looses their way, their belief, their fate they internally loose themselves. The isolation, “that’s me in the corner”, and the feeling of being under the "spotlight" by society is a very symbolic contradiction to life as of now. It’s a hard thing to explain but you can feel isolated and under the spotlight at the exact same time. It’s a horrible feeling to have but unfortunately it happens from time to time.

You , I and other like us all in our own way feel it along the course of one's life. It is something you go through, dat's life. No matter what the situation is everyone feels like they are in fact "losing their religion" at one point or another. Weather in life, relationships, I know I have felt like I have lost my way sometimes…as if I didn’t know who I was. It does happen to everyone and the reason why I think the song is so great…it makes you think…what would you do if you lost your way?....

This is how the song relates to me and how it makes me feel. I realize it is something different for each individual. I do know that these lyrics really get to me, their lyrics makes you realize your not the only one “losing your religion”…like I said before it is something everyone experiences at least once in their life…betetr stop here

Superman Returns (2006) - Epilogue

DC Comics gave up so much that the loyal superman follower would be asking serious questions of them. I would, I am dissapointed wiht the strength of the movie

Then there is the problem with the story. So let's see if we can get this straight. Superman disappears for five years and then Lex goes to jail for five years but gets out long enough to meet and marry and pleasure a dying old woman to then steal her fortune so that he can then go back to Superman's fortress and steal the secrets he needs to take over the world. RIGHT! Kawabunga

Is it really that hard to figure out that Clark and Superman returned at the same time?

You're talking about reporters here. People who uncover the truth for a living. And they can't piece together the physical similarities of their look and their physique and the auspicious timing of both of their returns? Duh!!

The reason for his disappearance is lame. The plot by Lex to take over the world is terrible

There was also a terribly attempt to introduce his super-son. Once we find out that he can throw a piano, is it really too much to ask to have him break the door down?

The film is supposed to be a bridge between the second and the present. But there are too many plot holes to accomplish that simple task. And that takes away the credibility of the movie. And if you just don't believe what you are being fed, then there isn't much point to the film.

Not all is bad. I have to admit that at the beginning when John Williams iconic theme blasts over the speakers, I got chills just like when I was a kid. No more "Up! Up! and Away!!!". And the airplane rescue scene is actually breathtaking, especially when it lands on a baseball diamond. Also fun is one brief line when you hear that Superman has been spotted all over the world, including Gotham City, I was being hilarious with Commander that Batman and his utility belt has gone for a vacation....ROTFLMAO

I didn't hate Superman Returns. I just didn't like it all that much. I did laugh and want to cheer in some parts, but more times than not, I wanted it to end. Kevin Spacey Saved the day!!!

Superman Returns (2006)

If at all there would be a reason to see this, even alone, it would be because of this guy.. the movies comes along 5 years after Superman decided to take a vacation...yadayadayada....LL Lois Lane, Lex Luthor....hmmmm all LL sheesh

Lois Lane,even won a Pulitzer Prize for her essay, "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." Lois has other issues to contend with--she is now engaged to the editor's nephew and has a young son to look after. Lex Luthon wants to break out of jail hmmmmm Lets hope its worth it!!!

SemiFinals 2

The second semi was nowhere near as dramatic as the first but France will face Italy in Sunday's final in Berlin. A first-half penalty from Zinedine Zidane won the match after a foul by Ricardo Carvalho on Thierry Henry. Portugal dominated possession in the second period but could only create half-chances and their challenge petered out. France 1 Protugal 0

Zidane scores the winner for France from the penalty spot.
