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

The best news for Koppers



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.

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."
Really means.... "I make the messes, she cleans them up."

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?
