iGoogle

Wow, just found out about google's dashboard, pretty cool!
That's how my dashboard looks like now! haha.

Back to Megan

Fun is up, yeap got shifted back from KLCC. It was such a sad sad moment we actually had farewell lunch hehe.

Now back to Megan and to be frank, the chairs here are pretty sucky, suffering from backache after 1/2 hour sitting, remedy? Walk around more often and don't be a computer freak!

Oh yeah, finally Anne is back, after enjoying herself for 3 weeks and leaving me behind (sob sob). Good thing she bought some stuff for me haha...

Failed Kinabalu climb

Gosh, must be so embarrassing, but terrible headache, stomach upset (vomited 2 times at laban rata) , altitude sickness took a toll on my body, so? Missed the deadline to check in Sayat point by 5 mins, plus we woke up late! for the climb to the peak.

Anyway, it was a fun experience, shouldn't followed chun eng and pop 2 panadol before ascending, worked for him!

To recollect..

First day of climb was OK! Easier than I initially anticipated, problem started when my back ached like crazy, thus taking more rest to ease it! Salute Andy and Chun Eng, both carrying about 10kg load (that's my weight too) yet no complain, must be my super heavy body (96kg hehe) ! Anyway no complaints, as Anne and I slowly threaded the trail, Mesilau is an absolute beauty, seriously going to try again! This time, with less weight and more panadol!

It took Anne and I about 10 hours? to reach Laban Rata, like I said, we took our time, snapped some pics here and there, most importantly, had to nurse my aching back.

Upon reaching Laban Rata, took a bite of dinner and immediately threw out! OMG! Was extremely worried then, felt fine one moment and threw up the next UNBELIEVABLE!! Nvm, its fated that I have to go there again! So took an early rest and woke up shivering, that moment, fever.. yup... fever.... SHIT!!!!

Still geared up, but our group, as usual late la hehe. Suppose to start journey at 0200hrs ended up 0240? Because of that, we kinda rushed. Bad move, that rushing without warm up? Hahaha my body literally collapsed on the 1/2 mile point. Was cold sweating like crazy and gasping for air. Stopped and told Anne to move on, had to sit for 10 minutes, remove the heavy jacket, when suddenly a gush of energy! Threw up another time and continued the journey. It felt good this time, could have gone much faster, but choose to pace myself. Uncle Vincent and Lee Lian, they were with me so we took our time, step by step.

About 1km from Sayat check point, felt a terrible headache, is that the dreaded altitude sickness? I think so! reach for my pocket and "SHIT! Left the pills with MUMMY!!!!". Continued the journey with a stinging heavy head, reached sayat feeling much better, but about 5-10 mins late, so we weren't allowed to continue anymore... :(.

Anyway that's the climb, descending was a breeze.

Here are some pictures.

Enjoy! And those who wish to join me for the next climb, do inform me, we are planning April 2011?

Its been 3 weeks since working here, well things are kinda cool, mundane, at least i know what i need to do! hehehe

Colleagues here are divided into 2,

1. very outspoken and friendly
2. quiet and funny in their own way (shy??)

Kinda miss my old colleagues, Mun Yau, Gan, Gila people hehehe...

Anyway ENJOY!

Hehe

Well back to working life again, and they don't allow any online chatting blah blah here... so sad ler......

Anyway, I've failed to climb Kinabalu, reason?

1. Fell sick up there
2. Vomited up there
3. Was having bouts of headaches
4. Couldn't eat dinner the day before (go back to point 2)
5. Woke up late for the climb

Well congrats to those who made it, hehe especially Anne! so sad couldn't join her, was late at sayat checkpoint by 10 mins :(

Its okay, Andy and I are planning our next move, this time we'll get some veterans along!

Pictures will come once I find time to grab it.....

As for now, CIAO!

New Company, New Life?

Started working about 2 weeks ago, well generally the people here are nice, just that I'm now thrown into a new department and, its only the manager and me hehe.

Wish me luck and pray for me!

Preparation

Kinabalu is just around the corner, and what do we do? Eat! hehehe

OH NO!!!!!!

Chinese New Year was a killer, but we tried, yeap we tried, Gunung Nuang ...... tried and failed haha!

So next, Kinabalu.

Mom and I climb stairs to train ourselves, failed miserably........

HELP!

Let by gone be by gone

Thank God! Past few days has been absolutely fantastic! Things have gone better than expected, and I am much more at peace! hehe

Anyway, went out for chow toufu yesterday, hehe, Andy is complaining that it is not "smelly" enough! Well its ok for me hehe.

Alritey! I've chosen to totally let go of the past. You know things about the church and all, well time to let go. Sorry Lord for being so bitter, no more excuses, it is time to move on!

Pray for me dear readers, and I will pray for those who is in need too!

Amen

Reunion?

Had a nice nice nice day, Sunday!

Completed our daily routine; Breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course SUPPER! Took dinner at Uncle James' place (small james). Before that, we got a surprise call by Aunty Alice, you know the so called "rebel" that left church 4 years back!

Apparently, they found out we are out of the church, and took the liberty to include us in their "Reunion" dinner!

It was fun! Its been 4 years, regardless of what some dumbo people has been saying, yeap we haven't been in contact for 4 FREAKIN YEARS!!!

Thank God they are all healthy and doing well, so long for the "imaging" that has been preached in that particular church.

Anyway, its good to be in contact, because since they accused my father of killing a pastor (that's how crazy people can be), we have lost many many many, friends, thus is good to make more nowadays.

We chat for about an hour, and then Uncle Seong, Dad, Uncle Kumar and mom went to a mamak and we continue to catchup.

We have learned, of lies we have been fed for so long, nothing better than to query for the truth yourself!

So friends out there, if you hear bad things being preached, you have a choice to;

1. Ignore
   
2. Find the truth

Sad to say, people in dove assembly decided to do the one thing that defiles morality and teachings of the bible, they have chose to judge their own brethren.

Thus said, I don't consider any of them brethren anymore, I'm still praying for them though, hoping that one day, God will remove the scale that has bound them in religion (cult) and cut them off our one true and Living God!

New Chapter

Just finish my last day of official Speedminer work, and now? Forget the past and move on.

By grace, found a new job, but wont be starting soon as got a message

HOD is on leave, will be back after CNY

Which means I'll be a free agent till then! haha. Anyway, got a soft confirmation and already started a project to build a point system for a salon. Since we are still negotiating the price, it wont be near we can launch the custom system.

Building it anyhow, got my partner, Chun Eng, to teach me a lil here and there about ASP.NET. Too bad he is a bz bz bz man, else a few modules could have been done easily hehe. Don't worry mate, not blaming you! haha

Alright, that's all for now, so far got no solid plans for CNY.

And yeah, on a last note, a friend whom I treated as enemy for the past 3 years, well we are finally in contact again! Thank you God for bringing me out of a cult practice!

Mum Mum

Eat to live? Well think again!

When you have a group like the Tan family, we literally live to eat! lol.........

Made our way to Bagan Lalang on new year's day, plan was to start a BBQ by the beach! COOL!?!??! hehe..

Thanks to LL and Andy for such great IDEA. And thank you too Anne and LL for preparing the toast of our trip, Chicken Wing!

Andy, LL, Anne and I made some last minute shopping, since I had to visit my granny at Aunty Kath's place, and as usual, Malaysian timing.

Daddy trying to start a fire, I think it took us 1 hour? hehe
Gan, Jimmy, both hungry and raring to screw each other...
Hungry faces. Ah ho is starting to show temper liao..
Smokin smokin...... Food is almost ready hehe.
Our grill, with lots of food.
Even more food!
Ah ho jun's favourite dish
Last but not least, Gan's pole dancing! NO JOKE!!!

Though he fail miserably

New Year's climb!

Ah, finally! A constructive post. Well actually missed out writing about "Mount Granpa" because well, life has been hectic, Granny went hospital, resigned, looking for job.... lazy.

Anyway, here comes Angsi! A little info on Gunung Angsi.

Gunung Angsi, Angsi mountain 825 meter 2702 feet height. Located at Hutan Lipur Ulu Bendul,Ulu Bendul Recreational Forest , Kuala Pilah District, Negeri Sembilan State.

Good enough? Well here's a little description;

The plan was to wake up at 6.30am, 1st January 2010, eat breakfast, fetch Anne, and meet up with uncle Vincent, head to MacDs at SG Besi highway just before the toll.

So, woke up at 7.15, after accidentally switch my phone to silent and missed 2 calls from Uncle Vincent, alarm didn't ring because accidentally set it to ring on Saturday, silly me hehe.

Well that didn't deter us, so we met, drove and half way, my gearbox gave way! OH SHIT! So drove all the way to Kuala Pilah on 3rd gear at 80km/h. Shitty? Yeah!

After we stop by a mamak to check on the car, hrmm reverse gear not working pulak... grrrrr.

I hopped on to Andy's car while Anne, mom and uncle Vincent join Gan and Jimmy.

Seriously, we got lost, the entrance is like.... non existent? no worries...... Here are some of the pictures.

Taking a short break.....
Discussing how to disguise our tiredness... SHHH!!
Andy, LL and LL's Brother applying some helpful heat rub with slogan; "to cure muscle sore".

The trip up was loaded with flora and ... fauna?
Nice?
Wahhhhhh
Double Wahhhhhhhh
Fauna....
Well we reach an "Open Space" rested and....
Found a camp.....
Exhoustion
beautiful christmas tree
coming down
going down
tired pose
trying to act cool pose..

Hehe, nothing like a great big group picture!
Notice Gan's tired looking hamsap, yamsap look? Spot him....
Its obvious that yamsup guy! hehe...

Anyway, didn't take any pictures of the peak. In fact we did the climb so freaking fast that;

1. Missed the trail to the peak
2. Reached a camp site that we thought was the peak, wondering how come the climb is so freakishly easy.
3. Noticed we didn't reach the peak after descending down.
4. Got laughed at by a group of uncles.
5. Got an empty challenge from Gan to re-climb.

As stated in point 5, empty challenge........ so obviously we went down, drove off to the mamak where Anne's car is parked, ate lunch, and drove home......

Wonderful trip...

YAY! Thank God!

Good news, AMA has been discharge from the hospital. Daddy, aunty Kathryne, Edvin, Uncle small James and family, we were there to greet her out of the hospital.

She's fine now, just a little weak, but we can't expect too much, she's been on the bed for 20+ days now.

Thank God for His keeping grace, and for those who wishes her dead, sorry, for those who wish her good, I thank you all for the good wishes!

My Dearest Ama

Since the whole ruckus in church, well 'Dove Assembly' which I stop going for some time now, my grandmother has not been in good shape. Reason?

Her youngest daughter, AKA my aunty (whose name I have chosen to forget), she followed the church and disown her own mother. My granny was in such a grief that she wept and cried for many days. Even though she hid it from us, we know, we all know, else we wouldn't be called FAMILY!

Tell me my friends, what kind of church accuses people of stealing money, killing a pastor, where there is no proof whatsoever? Well for everyone's information, our family has no intention of killing anyone, nor we have the ability to kill!

Well the church seems to think otherwise, they think that we are so powerful that a pastor can be killed by us merely doing "nothing".

Amazing isn't it? WOW!!!! AMAZING!!!!

So fellow ex friends who see me or any of our family members outside, I suggest you RUN! Because if you don't who knows what our "POWERFUL" weapons can do to you? RUN! HAHAHA

Idiots.

Sorry I digress, back to my Ama story.

Due to all her grief, she started having fainting spells, thus we rushed her to the hospital. She had to undergo emergency NGO (go google it) and was placed in the CCU (cardialogy critical unit) for about a week. Things went fine but soon after that, she contracted lung infection. She was under powerful antibiotics for a few days.

I've just visited her last night, she was snoring (sleeping la). She looks very good now and she's feeding well again.

Just finish a video call with her, well she was eating so she said, "maya kacau la you!" haha.

Oh yeah, by the way, someone called us, it seems people in the church says my grandmother has died!

Well, I'm not interested in what you think, but I'm going to paint a picture to you.

That 'aunty' that disowned her? She never visited my grandmother. I'm not a sadist, nor some philosopher , but there's one saying, and it is very true.

What you sow, is what you shall reap.

So brothers and sisters (with no regards to those church members), give good and you shall receive good. That reminds me, the bible thought us to pray a prayer, a prayer that Jesus said.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.

Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, here on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us, as we forgive tho trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from it,

For Thy is the Kingdom, Power, and Authority.

Amen

Well LL ajak us to watch Avatar in 'The Gardens'. I think I'll agree to it! pssst - we were told we can't go cinema last time!

Officially, looking for a job! hehe

After all that has happened, my prayer has been answered, my employer agreed to terminate my bond and I have offered my resignation letter.

Yeah, slightly risky to resign, but I have given a 3 months notice and its time to Hunt Hunt and Hunt.....

Must pray for grace and favor, so far everything seems to be going fine... thank God for the favor....

Bukit Tabur

Alright, picture first, comments later! hehe
