Tiger Year is coming... Roar~

Counting down to go home... 7 days. 

But somehow, there doesn't seem to be any CNY feel in the air. 

No group gathering announcement yet, haven't really done much shopping for my own new year clothes, not really expecting those CNY junk food.

All shopping centres, shops, radio, etc., blasting the same remixed CNY songs. 

I really kinda find them annoying every year.

Same songs, but probably just different singers.

Honestly I would really prefer the CNY oldies more than the nowadays hip-hop-pop-rock-crappie-whatever remixed version.

I really got fed-up until I found this. So far it's the only one I like..

And he's talented too... haha.

Who knows, he could be namewee soon-to-be.

Happy Chinese New Tiger Year.

恭喜发财 万事如意

QUOTE OF THE DAY 

So which side are you from?

A little girl asked her father:   'How did the human race appear?'

The father answered, 'God made Adam and Eve; they had children; and so was all mankind made.'


Two days later the girl asked her mother the same question.

The mother answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.'

The confused girl returned to her father and said, 'Dad, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Mom said they developed from monkeys?'

The father answered, 'Well, Dear, it is very simple.  I told you about my side of the family, and your mother told you about hers.'

The great tragedy of Science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact. 

- Thomas H. Huxley -

One of my last dinners in Hanoi...

Pre-dinner... Post dinner... After dinner... That was my dinner tonight. And.. after after dinner... hehe What a pity, huh? What do to? Had great meals for the past few days... Dinner at Al Frescos. Seafood Platter... The best and yummy pork rib... The biggest pizza I've ever seen. Then just last Sunday, dim sum buffet at Fortuna Hotel. My fruit-tail 龟苓膏 special... Shark-fin dumpling... Baked curry puff with my favorite round durian puff and fried sweet potato... And a fresh bowl of soya milk. So what's for dinner tomorrow? Hmm...

Who's smarter?

I kinda like this funny quote... lolx~

It's obvious that women are smarter than men. Think about it - diamonds are a girl's best friend; and man's best friend... a dog. -Joan Rivers-

But then, I'm in a country where men EAT their best friend. So this makes man... what? Stupid and insane? Just a joke, folks.. :-D

Eyes on Malaysia....

Here in Laos, this morning I had a seminar with a multinational company on our construction material. During the tea break, we got engaged into a conversation with one of the company representatives, who is from India. This nice friendly Indian fellow, asked us how's the Anwar case getting on already. Honestly, I was very suprised. He even mentioned it's exactly the same issued happened 10 years ago. Gosh.... I suppose this is one of the way how Malaysia got into the world attention since 10 years ago. The G people other than the arse story, is still the arse story. Funny, isn't it? Actually, it's not really that funny at all, though. It's rather..... PATHETIC. Shame shame....

Big Foot found in Sarawak?

Ain't it cool? The Big Giant Ape is actually in Sarawak as reported in Borneo Post today.

They have swam from Johor to our shore after knowing what the Johor Government had in mind three years ago.... that is to be become paparazzi to their private lifes.

But then again, they miss Lahad Datu and Kuching and went straight to Daro, a town in the central part of Sarawak.

I don't really know should I, or should I not believe the news.

The foot print, could be man-made afterall. Unless the ground as shown in the photo is hard, or else the print could have left a deeper mark since the ape is soooooooooooo huge and could weight more than 300kg... or more, who knows, right?

Well I'm not the judge, nor zoologist, nor bigFOOLogist, nor wadever you call it.

Anyway, it could have made the headline in Borneo Post, or maybe even The Star and other newspapers tomorrow. But I won't recommend the Big Foot specialist or rather, hunters to dropby Sarawak to pay our new friend a visit.

Why?

We already have one in our Dewan Rakyat liao wad... He got a big monkey companion some more. So why susah susah when we already have one standing there enterntaining us?

Hhm... no further comment.

Risk Taker

Are You a Risk Taker? (Click link to test)

Terence, you take the most risks when it comes to Following Your Heart

Whether you're searching for your soul mate or you've already found a special someone, you're not afraid to take your chances in the realm of romance. Listening to your heart, and even putting it on the line, is part of your romantic nature.Love can be a gamble, and for a passionate person like you, it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. You'll never find your soul mate if you don't try. Besides, it'll help you figure what you're really looking for in a perfect partner. So keep following your heart. It's sure to take you on a romantic ride!

Mother Nature & Mankind

Well, of course those who knows me well enough will know where I am, what I'm doing here.

Anyway for those who doesn't, or any friendly visitors....hello and welcome. I'm in Laos, working as a Quantity Surveyor for the construction of a hydropower dam.

Yea..that's right, construction of a hydropower dam.

Mannn...isn't this a work of the destruction of our beloved Mother Nature?

Come to think of it, I kinda hate it lo.

Mother Nature granted for us a lovely planet to live, to survive.

But it's through destruction that we are showing our appreciation.

Somehow to think positively, we live our lifes by improving our day by day lifestyles for the next and future generations, right?

Sad to say, sometimes unavoidable sacrifices must be done in order for that to work out.

All we can do it try to minimise them.

However, by litering around certainly is not a good start and it certainly CAN BE avoided. We need more civilised people around to do that....probably.

But then again, some cultures just can't live healthily for the sake of Mankind even if we have got a perfect world to live in.

Yes, beer...alcohol.

Some cultures, days and nights, adults or kids as young as 7 years old, consume this mind-backward-thinking killer everyday.

Don't get me wrong. I do enjoy hanging out in pubs once a while, with limited drinks of course. But certainly not for breakfast, lunch and dinner as one of the must-have dish wad.

Siao eh...The more we drink, the shorter our lifespan will be.

I'm not directing this entry to anyone, but everyone of us should be self-conscious a bit all the time la. Alcohol should be consume within control.

Crap... I don't know what's the point of this blog anyway...wakaka. Whatever la. My conclusion...lets love our Mother Nature and Mankind as so they may last forever.

2 Weeks about my blablabla...

Hhm....just realised I haven't blog for more than 2 weeks.

For the past 2 weeks....hhm...what actually have I done...lets see.

27th October was actually a local festival, the Boat Racing Festival, aka Boun Ok Phansa (sorry folks, can't find a better link to it since no Laotian actually promoting themselves). The night before we dropped by one of the street in Vientiane along Mekong River for the week...or was it weeks long fair.

(Paiseh ya, my lousy camera is not good in catching night shots...blueckz~)

Walao eh...really people mountain people sea le. Macam the whole population of Vientiane gathering there since there is no night life else where liao.

Erm...no, those blue blue red red yellow yellow one are not how laotians look like. Sorry la, lousy camera effect...hehe. Look below, though this was not the crowded most. By crowded, I mean like you can't even stand still on your spot. People will just push you around. You don't even get a space to breath gok...and don't expect me to take photo in that situation...wakaka.


Anyway, I didn't get to take any photo of the actual boat-racing festival.

That very morning we went to Udon Thani, over the border of Thailand over the weekend for a 3-days break to feel the life of a more developed town out of Vientiane, or rather to be specified, out of Laos.

Nothing much to talk about Udon Thani anyway. Life in KL is much much greater than there...hehe. Maybe just, finally had my long-missed KFC, some nice western @ Sizzler and ice-cream @ Swesens lo. And some shoppings.

Ok, back from Udon. To my suprise I actually got a fan shouting for more post from me....Geezzz....thanx. He's probably my one and only fan. Anyway, I love ya, Tchii....baru weird.....wakaka. Anyway, I know I got loyal reader who says my blog is boring but still reads it de...wahahaha...blueckz~

Having come here for 6 months already, last Friday was only the second time I have gone to the site.

Yes, the scenery there is quite nice there actually. But that will be in my next next post.

Erm...what else. Peepz, I got my air tickets for my second home trip confirmed last week. I will be going back in December...yea. Tickets back Kuching punya also buy already. As for now, I am actually planning for my third trip back during CNY...muahahaha. Yup, I may be going home for Chinese nian-15....hoho. Gong Xi Gong Xi to me.


Actually the main focus of this entry is not to be on the things I did for the past 2 weeks. Since I have had over-blah enough as my heading, I guess I'll leave it as a post anyway.

Well, that's my past 2 weeks afterall. I wonder how will my next 2 weeks be like.

As for tomorrow....hopefull if I'm not too busy or too lazy or too wadever-excuse-I-will-eventually-find-out, hehe... stay tune for my Malaysia's Space Programme, Part II.....yosh~

My Confirmation...

We have sure put Malaysia on the world map in the past 2 decades.

Then again, we're in the headlines of the world news again....

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - Malaysia has slumped to its worst-ever ranking in press freedom, dropping 32 spots to 124th place thanks to restrictive media laws which campaigners said Thursday must be reviewed...

--------------------------------------------------

Anyway, don't bother about that. Yesterday 18 October 2007... was exactly six months since we first came to Laos. (Damn...should have posted this yesterday. Ran out of time....but, whatever lar, hoho~)

Last week got a letter from the HR Department.

Yeah...it's my confirmation letter....

~F~I~N~A~L~L~Y~

Now I don't have to worry anymore about getting fired out of sudden...

Don't have to worry about got my a**e-kick back to Malaysia for no reason...

Don't have to worry not going to get my oversea allowance here anymore...

Talking about oversea allowance.

I wonder when can I get my salary increment. Heard we'll only be getting by end of year.

So, MR. Whoever-in-the-Gamuda-Payroll-Section, read my entry and know what to do ya. I promise to treat you McD when I go back later lar, ok? PleaseeezZ?

My wind-water seat in the office...

I used to have got one of the best feng shui in the office. Behind me is a never-opened roller-shutter. So nobody can actually see what I was up to during work.....yea, something like blogging now.

Then a couple weeks ago the HR manager decided to hang a white board behind my table.

This board is actually to monitor the movement of the site people to Vientiane. Yes, they don't get to come down here anytime and without permission. So this board serves the purpose of detemine who's illegal and who's not.

Anyway, that's not the point. The point is.....it spoiled my whole darn feng shui. It's reflective. So anyone can actually see what I'm doing if they look properly from the right angle. ~CRAP~

But...if not mistaken, it has being here for 2 or 3 weeks already. And I kinda got used to it already and not bother about it anyway.

Somehow, this darn board can be not that bad at all. When we are bored, this is what can be done....

~Meow~^...

Try figure out this puzzle...

Geez....my friend sent me this puzzle. It's rather like a online puzzle that you have to solve this page first before you can move to the next page.

Altogether, there's 23 questions. The first few questions you should be able to answer. But the questions got tougher and tougher.

Ok, give you guys a hint. Whatever questions appear next, try google for them if you don't get it. You'll find the answers.

But, make sure you don't get yourself to pages like > this <>

Good luck and enjoy. I got it through without looking at the full page of answers...hehe.

My New Blogging Nest

Having an account here for more than a year, I haven't really utilize it.

I've been using Blogs.Friendster to blog about my feelings, things I think/thought about, things happen around, things I saw, things I expereinced, etc.

Somehow I guess blogging is a "thing" for me. It's not because it's the latest trend or anything "ing" for the generation to follow suit. But for me, this is where I can express myself freely, talk anything I want, blah anything I want, curse anything I want.

And of course, when I have the time to blog as well.

I have a sudden urge last few days, to switch from Friendster to back here. Maybe it's because of the editable Html whereas Friendster is not so friendly in Html editting afterall.

From now on, I will be making here as my primary blog nest rather than Friendster. What I will do is link what I've said here to there...only if I've got the time, of course. One thing I'll miss from Friendster, is its "strikethrough" function. I've got so hooked up using it recently.

I'm not going to widely promote about my blog here. It's just a place for me to express myself, be myself afterall.

Folks, a big warm WELCOME to you all if you happen to drop by.
