Monkey Kong

Just watched the Big Ape last Sunday, well I wasn't a real big fan of King Kong when it was released way back, so I really didn't expand much either. Nevertheless, I slept through the first hour, it was super boring man! By the way, many a times I woke up asking, "Is Kong out yet?"

And one of my friend answered, "Its a three hour movie la, you expect to see Kong for that long meh? BORING WAN!"

Alright, I got his point, nevertheless, things turn exciting when they landed on this gila island with 100ft walls. Shiok man, see their head kena whack, see them kena bite, those aborigins are POWER CRAZY!!! Anyway, back to the main stream, the action after that was ok, didn't sleep, that is why its ok.

Well, there might be some derailed storyline here and there, but overall, the movie is not bad lor, at least someone who doesn't enjoy movie much say it is ok means it is OK lor.

Oh yeah, they didn't use much computer animation for Kong, infact, I think they use the original method of ..dunno what it is called, that is why Kong's movement might not be as real as we all hoped for.

Week of prosperity

There are many interpretations for the word "Prosperity", some measure in terms of financial wealth, some measure in terms of properties, some measure in terms of this and that. As for me, my personal term for prosperity has to do with the one word non of us can't live without, "FOOD!"

Well, we had our company lunch on Monday, in celebration of a successful symposium held at the Corus Hotel at Jalan Ampang. We had things like pork meat (YUM YUM!), vegetable(without the "S"), lala, petai prawns, this and that blah blah. Well, its not always we have lunch with fellow colleagues and boss together, so I took the opportunity to whack 3 servings of rice. Well, guess I was the last man standing after that lunch, it was so darn heavy I could hardly move.

Anyway, I had another pack of Nasi Lemak about an hour after that...

Today (Thursday), went for another big meal in supposedly Serdang, but ended up in Sri Kembangan. Well the food was pretty expensive, nearing RM200 for a meal with drunken steam crab, PATIN!!! I LOVE PATIN!!!, vegetable, pork and thai style chicken, ahh good taufu....

Nothing much going these few days, nothing interesting at all, the only thing going on with me is doing documentation for ETL, one module of the company's software, the largest module in fact.

Besides that, I've been busying myself by teaching Junbo some programming, try to improve myself, and so forth. Well, just can't really sit still at one position all the time you know....

A shipwreck experience

True enough, there's a huge relief from work, as finally, I feel much more free, so much so there was this urge to pen down a story.

It happened long long time ago when you or I wasn't even existing, maybe during our granpa granma, or ah pek and ah lians time, oh sorry, nowadays oso got ah peks and ah lians and ah bengs and so forth, anyway, it happened at a time when Yap Ah Loy was buzy exploring the world, oh shit was it Yap Ah Loy? Oh no, forgot what was that fellah's name, the one who visited Melaka and got Cilaka"ed".

Alright, now next up was this young man by the name of Ah Tan, who like travelling alot. His dad own a fishing boat, a junk actually, you know those boat with flat bottom and very high tech sails? Yeap those were the days, anyway, I made up the fishing part, I am not sure myself if junks were used for fishing. So one day, he decided to earn his own money by doing small small things like, designing more efficient fishing nets, or thinking of ways to curi tulang, or develope ways to make better Milo drink.

One fine day, while out fishing(one again I have to clarify that it might not be fishing), a HUGE THUNDERSTORM hit and overturned his boat. Winds gushed mightily breaking the sails at first. So mighty was the storm that his hi-tech sails that were suppose to withstand even the strongest wind couldn't bear it anymore. The storm was almost similar to the one in the movie "Perfect Storm". Ah Tan, being the main character of this story, survived of course, hanging by some broken wood for his life.

Three days pass when a HUGE boat appeared our of nowhere. The kind captain offered Ah Tan help by sacrificing one of his small emergency boat. Ah Tan was bemused, "Can't I just follow your crew to land?"

The captain replied, "I would like to, but we are sailing aimlessly at this particular ocean too, so I suggest you take the small boat with a little bit of supply and, GOOD LUCK!"

With that, Ah Tan set off wondering in the little boat. Another day passed when he he came across another boat. This time, the captain offered him a compass and guide back to his homeland.

Ah Tan was of coursed very very happy, and in no time at all, found his homeland.

Sorry for the boring story, so happen it reflected my situation working. Well you see, boss wanted me to add something in BTS(some module la) and it is common knowledge amongs the programmers in our office that, trying to decode BTS is liken to being shipwrecked in the ocean. The person who coded it, well left the company and a HUGE headache for anyone who tried to take over.

But thanks to one of our senior, who stopped by and provided the little rescue boat, managed to find the little part that needed extras, but still I was stuck. Then came another senior, offering his compass and at last, I'M DONE!!!!

Well working in a field where you are not familiar with really takes alot of patience, not from our part, but from the seniors who need to spend time listening to your questions and answering them without confusing you too much. Well I think I overdid it, so much so one of our senior left the company almost exactly one month after I officially join.

Anyway, was expecting a company lunch tomorrow, but once again, posponed(second time) to next Monday. Seriously though, I'm expecting oysters, clamps, lots of seafood, in short, A SUPERB BUFFET!!! But once again, I can only tell myself, "Dream on boy, dream on....."

What hurts?

Well there are many term when you talk about "hurt". Some are super sensitive towards pain, some are not so yet they are more sensitive, err sensitive as in, sensitive la something like, cannot take jokes and all, (you can try clicking here if you really want to know). Alright, I might get crucified for using the example there but....nvm la. Anyway, I found something that kinda hurt me today, ok maybe not really hurt, but I just don't know what kind of title to put in, so mah put in "Hurt" lor.

Was makaning at a restaurant near my house by the name of Hoi Kei. This restaurant specializes in Fish Head which they cook with oyster sauce, lots of garlic, and it taste FANTASTIC!!!! Well, dad ordered 2 plate of fish head, ho jien(egg fried with oyster), Thai style pork leg, yau mak fried with fuu yee and salad squid. After makaning, I felt a little urge to do small business, that's when I went to the kitchen looking for the loo and relieve myself. The master cook is a very friendly guy indeed, when he saw me, he greeted me and told me, "Go ahead la! You can use the toilet wan.."

Well of course I gave him a smile and proceeded to wee wee(Not wesley wee). Upon opening the door and stepping out, the nice master chef posted me a question, "Are you James' brother?"

Of course I went, "................"

Do I really look that matured? NO RITE!!!

Wedding!

Just attended George's wedding today, well din really attend, just help serve food at the makan area. Geesh, can't really remember how long George and Feli pak tor liao, dunno how many fruitfull years, they tie the knot lor, another happy ending!

Anyway, I think George must be pretty excited on his big day, he actually order SO MUCH FOOD!! that we servers didn't have the time or space to display all the food for the attendees to choose from. We had to cramp in 18 types of dishes(more than 18 actually) and ended up displaying less that that and had to keep the rest at the back because we just ran out of space. To be frank, everything was in a MESS!! But hei, we enjoyed it. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the fact that none of us get to eat first before the visitors came down...so sad.

Hei George, if you reading this I suggest you make it up to US SOON!! HAHA

Anyway, this is the first time I experience something PetPet always kena, "weak knee". To be frank, I really enjoyed myself today, it was the first time I was being so RUDE friendly to all the visitors, you know asking them to help themselves tell them not to be shy, joke with them etc etc and of course rush them, you know the line was FREAKIN PILIN UP!!!

Anyway, that's it for a fun day, will be waiting for the next round, you see, one of our friend(who is very closely related to Feli), was posted a question, "So when you getting married?"

He spontaneously responded, "Wait for George first la.."

So, we should be expecting another wedding soon right??....

My day in Review

Well, helped out for the symposium today(what to do, staff mar, forced to carry stuff, shoot video, carry stuff and carry stuff). Can't really conclude much Boring mar it was too interesting even for someone like me to understand. FINE! I ADMIT! Didn't enjoy it because the food SUCKED! Seriously though, was hoping for a big luncheon or buffet at least once for the whole day, ended up with sandwiches, tasteless fried rice, sandwiches, tasteless fried beehoon, and lots of plain water. It is nowonder I had gastric on the way home(which was literally JAM JAM JAM ALL THE WAY!).

I notice one thing today, I can't really handle stress, sorry, my mistake, what I meant is that, I can't really handle people who can't handle stress, or something like that lar, you know lar, I know lar, liddet lar, nevermind la.

Don't really want to go into details of the symposium. Just that everything was smooth and the oversea speaker really took our time, you know suppose to end at 5 also he must lengthen everything and cause us to sleep la, play game la, this la that la, anything la, I even had time to create a wall paper for my phone on Jane's PC. I think there was abit of technical error today, instead of promoting our product, "Speedminer" the speaker was promoting more of their product, "Ensemble" from Intersystem. Once again, I wouldn't want to get too detailed.

The one person I really dreaded to meet was Mr. Teoh, someone I met yesterday(Wednesday) to take a video shoot of his testimonial. Of course he was totally excited and asked us when will we publish the shoot! It was suppose to be today, but no thanks to Michael Ong's photo editing skills, you know I know la. Thank God he did see me, and he was very nice to not say anything about a missing video clip.

Did I mention I was at IOI resort in Putrajaya yesterday? Well, it was the most sucky experience one can have. Our clerk forgot to tell us that the meeting is cancelled and you know I know again la, spend dunno how many hours(my first time there and my colleague's dunno how many times there) getting there. We even went up all the way to the 11th floor when we enquired for Mr. Choo. Well, they nicely redirected us to Mr. Cheong whom I so happen to bump into today too. To be frank, I enjoyed the little trip yesterday to IJN and IOI, what more, I ate alot too....

Seriously though, don't really look forward to tomorrow, I spend the whole evening on my bed, and the next thing I know is, tomorrow have to work...............

Internet Problems

Well, we are all living in a digital world, a world where we can do endless search, a world we come to live with and can't live without, a world called internet, and almost all of use are using, "StreamyX" which is to me, more like suckyX, y sucky? Cause I couldn't connect for the past 4 days, why ? I DON'T KNOW! Made me format my pc, do this and that, and suddenly, it is up and running again for no apparent reason.

Well, dad has been really pushing me to fix it, and to be frank, I have not a single clue how to fix this stupid problem stated with "ERROR ^&*" oh sorry i mean "error 678".

Finnished building the 2 modules that was allocated to me, and well, have been pretty free. So now I'm testing out their software, trying to find bugs, and found a few I did, will leave it to the seniors to fix it, not that I don't want to fix it myself, if I were to touch anything inside, things will go BAD REALLY BAD, ok let me paint u a picture :-

At first we get an error like "something is undefined", if i were to do anything, we'll end up with "CSP GATEWAY ERROR" which means, KOYAK!

Well, maybe because I am too free in the office, boss ask me to go IJN and IOI tomolo to interview their dunno who la.

Ok time to sleep, at last I get a chance to update my blog, but don't know why the javascripts aint working for this blog page.
