wines exhibition in singapore...

working out something... stepping into wines biz... planning to make it as another anchor product for arusan...

went down to singapore with jj for a wines exhibition last weekend...

left my house about 1600 hoursish... reached jb about 2000 hoursish... met tammy for dinner... amazing food in jb too!... ipoh and jb.. i lurve them both!..... traffic in jb is crazy... got lost initially, but, managed to find our way to meet up with tammy after about 30 minutes of run around... after dinner headed towards to her new kindergarten... very nice place... invested about rm 80k in that place... franchisee of smartreader... those franchisor really minting money nowdays!... very proud of that lady... not easy to run a kindergarten tho... it's a her passion and dream, i think... and she is making it real!... good on you lady!... time really flew... time for us to leave and cross the border about 2300 hoursish... just nice to join to midnite crowd at the border...

took us almost 40 minutes to find the freaking hotel... really lost in singapore... last time i went there was like 5 years ago.... managed to check in the hotel after asking for directions, 4 times!... no map, no knowledge... just road orphans in singapore roads... good sleep...

got up just in time for the exhibition... took a cab fm the hotel instead of mrts and buses... reached singapore expo about 1230 hoursish... to our surprise the place was packed, think it's because of the asia food fair... half the size of a football field!... food and wines galore!... on top of that, it's just side by side... bought the entrance tix for wines exhibition... checked some booths out before we headed for lunch next hall... a real feast i would say... then back to the next hall... we started working then... about 12 countries participated... we walked and walked and walked and we did tons of wine tasting... discussed some stuffs re the sole distribution in malaysia with a few vintage lables, got a lot of infos on wines, survey the market thruout the world for wines, made a lot of contacts, etc... after almost 3 hours of walking, talking and tasting... we were both tired, tipsy and hungry... off we went next hall again... and back for more walking and tasting... by about 1900 hoursish, we were all worn out... tot of heading back to the hotel and rest... before that took a smoke at the back of the hall, then met greg... one of the many experts in wines fm australia... talked and discussed some stuffs, then were invited to his booth for more tasting... gosh!... taste buds all numb by then... no choice, we went for it... pretty thankful, because of that smoke i took, we might be heading somewhere in biz..... thereafter, really desperate to get back to the hotel then... almost 8 hours of walking and all we need is rest!... 8 hours of walking was not even enought to cover half of the exhibition!.... we found what we want and we did what we suppossed to do, that's important.... headed back with a cab... called michael to meet-up.... then, dinner near the hotel lobby... came back and rested for a while... michael came with kartini, and yeah, we are out again... this time to harry's in esplanade... paul ponnudurai playing there... johannian working in singapore.. almost 3 years now, i think.... amazing guy with gifted guitar skills fm above... jj dozed of couple of times, am still ok tho after the short rest.... left before he played his last set... supper in geylang... interesting view in geylang at nite, really interesting!... opted to walk back instaed of taking a cab... 40 minutes walk in singapore is definitely different from 40 minutes of walking in malaysia... back, bathed and slept!...

as much as i have guessed, got up after the check out time!... good thing the hotel was ok with it... late for about an hour of so... too tired... excellent sleep!... headed back to kl right after the check out, about 1300 hoursish... got lost in singapore again, can't seems to find our way out of the island... ended up in changi airport to ask for directions!... with the traffic and the breaks, me reached home about 1900 hoursish...

very informative and productive trip indeed...

may be down to singapore again this weekend for another exhibition...

ipoh trip...

wat a break it was.... gaining 3-5 kilos within 3-4 days break is not a joke at all.... read on...

had a very good relaxing break in ipoh indeed... planned this trip very much earlier...

left kl on 2nd November 2005 in joanne’s car about 1500 hoursish... 1st stop in ipoh was susie’s shop to hand her something... then to odavid’s place.... checked in there for the nite... one of the many main intentions for this trip was to see amber.... david and judy’s baby.... mannnnnn... like parents like daughter... freaking chubby, freaking cute and kinda big for her age... only 1 and a half months old, but look like already 6 months old or so!... am i the Godpa?!?.... I want to!... shriley dropped by later for dinner... had this pretty famous south indian curry, bak kut teh, wan tan soup, etc... 1st mission to have a good dinner completed then.... back in david’s place to have a good rest, but not for long.. out again to tesco to get some stuffs for amber.. came back for fish head dinner break, and out again for snooker with jon, joe, jun and thony... the other group ended up in alex’s place for mahjong... bie, joanne, amy, alex, judy, david and shirley had a good time playing mahjong.. met them for supper.... then back home to call it a day...

next morning... hari raya!... breakfast in ipoh garden... david brought bie and myself there… missed that place!... having pork noodle, chee cheong fun, char siew and siew cheong indeed a good way to start the da.. back home only to find out joanne is all ready for dim sum... so, off we went to the one of the many famous dim sums in ipoh... yummy!... bie can’t stuff herself with anymore dim sum after a few and after the heavy breakfast.... then rest of them joined 3 of us later… then to ipoh parade for shopping.. alex and myself were very bored then.. left the ladies there to do their shopping.. we went to his client place in meru valley golf house... tropicana look-and-feel-a-like place... amazing place with stunning pricing... huge bungalows and semi-ds cost about rm1.5 – rm 3.0 million... don’t think you can ever get that in kl… 1st time one to one chatting with alex, amy’s bf.. about 7 years in ipoh or so.... a real clown!... think he is an iranian/a german.. but, inside him.. he is definitely a chinese!.. must hear him swearing in chinese... that will be enough to make you a happy person!... back in ipoh parade to meet them, then checked in to ritz garden hotel.. checked out david’s place earlier... rest and relax time again... but, not for long... it’s dinner time again... went to old town.. there’s this coffee shop that serves really good food and excellent beers... about 13 of us had about 15 plates of food and about 6 buckets of beers... heaven!... paradise!... again, same schedule as yesterday... one group snooker, one group mahjong… but, this time a short one tho!... back in the hotel to sleep…

eve and alan came the next day fm kb/sitiawan to join us.. bigger group.. more friends.. day started with good breakfast in old tow.. chicken noodle, satay, popiah, chicken rice, sotong, etc... then off to yik foong shopping complex, joanne wanna get something fm there then... waited for them outside... dehydrated under the hot sun, off we went for soya bean and tau foo fah... had 2-3 servings... burppp... nice!... ipoh parade again then... joanne forgotten to get something yesterday, a quick one this time round... next, was to this wine shop to get something for shirley’s birthday... then to jon’s shop to get some phones done... after that, finally back to hotel to rest and relax before shirley’s birthday dinner... feeling a bit hungry... went down to have something light with bie... porridge, etc... wat a birthday dinner it was... about 8-9 dishes with 5 bottles of drinks, can’s finish the drinks tho.... think the highlight of the dinner was this drinking game.. had this after the dinner.. chicken head/whisky on a lazy susan... do the imagination yrself... by the time we finished playing that tension drinking game.... the restaurant was already closing then.. off we went to a happening pub behind the restaurant.. sid’s tavern.. there for the 2nd time… really a nice place to hang out... whacky, crazy and a loud nite out… had about easily 10 buckets of beers... mixing drinks with wines, liquors and beers knocked many people off that nite.... susie, joanne, alan and jon knocked out completely... joe were still stable although he acted not like one... unexpectedly, shen joined us too!... one of the many best drinking sessions i had that nite!... left kinda early because of sending those knocked outs back... supposed to go out for supper after that.... but, ended up on the bed snoring away!....

as soon as i got up the next day, my 1st thought was.... am i going back to kl today?!?... I begin to miss ipoh then.. bie actually recorded my snoring session and let me hear it, was loud man.... really loud… poor bie.. not sure she had a good nite sleep or not.... breakfast with derek, one of my clients in ipoh... he brought me to this old kopitiam newly opened opposite royal ipoh club… nice atmosphere, good food... back in the hotel to check out... then off to my brunch in ipoh town... again, almost the same food... this time a little more.. right after that, soya bean and tau foo fah again!... walked to buy salted chicken, coffee powder, biscuits, etc... then to jon’s shop again, chilled there.. then to david’s place... judy, david and amber got back fm teluk intan that day... bought some stuffs for us.... chilled in his place.... tot of leaving about 1500 hourish... but, understand that the traffic was bad.... really bad... alan stucked in the jelapang tol traffic... the queue was about 6 km long!... we decided to leave in the nite then, after dinner… that’s the time we really did some really meaningful and good fellowship... we chatted, we talked, we laughed, we discussed, we laughed some more... fm david’s proposal to rotary/rotaract stuffs to the future of amber to the prediction of who will be getting married next, etc... i surely treasured that couple of hours really much!... david said something so true... he said something like this out of no where… ‘this is what rotaract all about, fellowship, friends, fun, personal growth, etc’.... that particular gave me goose bumps, not sure why tho... tks to rotaract i met all this amazing people, they are wat i call true friends!... then off to dinner… chicken rice... left ipoh about 2200 hoursish... reached kl safely about 0100 hoursish... traffic pretty alright... a lot of vehicles... moving traffic... i miss ipoh!...

i miss my camera during this trip!... hope to get a new one soon!...

you think you are unfortunate?!?... think again!...

you think you are unfortunate?!?... think again!...

finally after almost 2 years or so i ended up in rumah solehah last sunday (30th october 2005)... rumah solehah is one of the many homes for our hiv positive friends... home for few adults and about 20 + children, age fm few months to early teens...

rackl used to do quite a number of activities with them, but slowed down for the past 2 years...

they planned and executed successfully another community service project last sunday... had a simple, but very meaningful buka puasa with them... games and giving out duit raya also the agenda... the kids are as super duper hyper active as ever... they can be very hard to look after, but that's when the fun part kicks in...

there's this kid, boo and myself adore him so much... beautiful kid, literally beautiful... 1st time we saw him, it was about 2 years ago... he was about 1 year old then, can't really walk... when i saw him again last sunday... he was running all over the place, eating and drinking by himself... really good to see that, really made my day!...
kids can actually grow amazingly in differences in 2-3 years!... if am not mistaken, that boy is one of the many abandon children the home is taking care... the caretaker, kak wan is just an amazing person!...

the residents in rumah solehah are from broken homes and abused friends... most of them are hiv positive... i personally don't think the public are properly educated re this matter... many of them actually have this kinda 'eerie' feelings when they know someone is hiv positive... this is one of the many reasons why hiv positive friends are on one island by themself, just because the public 'neglect' them...

if you listen to the stories of our innocent friends, you will know how they feel and how they ended up in that situation... you will just think to yrself, you are not that bad afterall... you think you are unfortunate?!?.. think again!...

after the whole thing, i needed a drink badly... ended up in kaki's corer with few others... had a drink and a nice plate of spicy ham cheese chicken... after that, sent sham home.... and then, sent ls home... owhh yeah, really nice to be able to finally talk to her again after such a long time, and the trip to imbi just brought back memories, memories and memories...

2006 budget...

overdue seaway budget for year 2006 which i suppossed to present on 31st october 2005 made me sitting down here in my room preparing it... tot of presenting it on 7th november 2005, but believe there was some miscommunications and think i better email it out tonite itself...

just finished doing it infact... not really sure whether the budget format is right or not... have yet to really do a proper budget... this is my 1st time for real!...

i don't really love numbers... but, it's that kinda numbers that we know where we expected to stand in the coming year... like it or not, go to do it...

after dinner with bie, went back to office and draft it out... came back and typed it... just sent to et... will wait and see wat he says about it.... did a very realistic budget for year 2006... no point to budget way high up and end up not reaching there at all... watever overshoot the sales budget, it's a bonus...

let's hope for the best!...

car broke in...

all ready for work early in the morning... realised the driver door and the boot opened with a little gap... knew my cd player gone, true enough.... amp gone too... good thing was the cd player already going a bit hay-wire... can't read mp3 and all.... that was the 3rd time cd players got stolen... dad experienced that twice!... have all the mind in the world to trap them now...

dad and mum popped by to my office... had some discussion with my bro re the houses and all... and mum went like... 'boy, yr camera in the car of in the house?!?'... and i went like.... 'owhh yeah, in the car!'... ran down to check... camera too gone missing... gonna miss the camera... took a lot of beautiful photos with it...

funny thing is.. they took nutin else but those 3 items, they did opened the lightings boxes... they took nutin... brand new ceiling fans, they too didn't take... the lightings and fans meant for the new house.... probally too bulky, i think...

well... all i can say is... am gonna have new toys to play with soon! :) ...

terrence and celes's wedding...

had a good time in terrence and celes's wedding dinner few weekends ago...

missed the garden ceremony, which i think it was a blast after viewing the pix...

dinner was ok... food was not that good... me a person never complain about food, but when i passed that kinda comments, guess you should know how the food tastes...

nevertheless.. deco was superb, very fitting to the 'garden wedding theme'... backdrop was good... most importantly, fellowship among frens!...

arusan supplied the red and white wines for the nite... everything gone by the 3rd dish or so... switched to liquor then... had quite a lot to drink that nite... but, know my limit to it... thank God i don't need to drive that nite... jj and jacky did the driving...

initially, heard boo is pregnant about 4 months or so... got the confirmation when i saw her tummy!... it's a boy!... good for her!... long time no see her, really good seeing her after so long...

owhh well.. you can safely say that the puffers reunited that nite too, after such a long time...

i just love every moment of that nite, gonna treasure it for a long time!...

terrence and celes... congrats again!...

life...

sitting here in the office at 2243 hours doing my work and receiving one stunning sms fm edmund minutes ago...

uncle wong from state movers is half paralyse, now in uh.... mannnnnn... how in the world a strong man like him ends up in this condition?!?!?... he is 70+... driving trucks up and down the whole country... carrying stuffs that even myself found too heavy to carry... the last i met him and talk about a house removal job was about barely 2 months ago, he is still as strong as ever then... he got admitted couple of days ago... planned to pay him a visit within this week... and, stunned by the sms fm my bro... will do it probably tmr or something like that...

praying for his speedy recovery... the Miracle Worker up there sure have His own plans...

money is not important...

no... no... no... that's not wat i meant, for now!... in fact, desperate for money for now!...

had a long talk with jj over stuffs couple of days ago... biz and all... love talking to him... we can talk fm everything to anything... as we go along our biz now, we realised there are still tons of stuffs to be laid in our foundation.. pretty new and shaky now... initially i tot everything is ok... but when we really look into it, there are still a lot of things to do... and everything seems to be coming in all at once, i personally felt it that way... yes, i agree it's good to multitask... but not for long term.. if you kno wat i mean... i also agree that we must be able to accept all enquiries that comes our way... be it small or big... not a time to be choosy and picky... who knows, in 5 years time... or, in 10 years time we'll be able to concentrate on stuffs we wanna do only... that's when the title of this post comes into play... :) ... we are working our backs off lately... and, i believe we will be somewhere up there someday...

water runs dry...

playing this song for almost a week now in my car cd player... real.. pretty real lyrics...

"Some people will work things out
And some just don't know how to change"

ahhhhhhh... real.. so real... :) ...

fm the relationship point of view... really so hard to change someone/something?!?... is it that so very, very, very hard to change in order to accept changes?!?... you decide...


Water Runs Dry
(Boyz II Men)

We don't even talk anymore
And we don't even know what we argue about
Don't even say I love you no more
'Cause saying how we feel is no longer allowed

2-Some people will work things out
And some just don't know how to change

1-Let's not wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's not wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it, baby

Now..Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies
Deep in our hearts
Well maybe that's a pain we can't hide
'Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart

Why do we hurt each other?
Why do we push love away?
(repeat 1, 2, 1)

monday again...

boring day... unproductive...

yeah... sitting down here in my office using the ever pathetic dial up!... slow... real slow... think, freaking telekom is taking their own sweet time... initially applied for 3 lines.. then somehow or another, they only submit/register only 2... re-applied again for one more additional line for fax and broadband... and, guess what... lines are all taken up and we need to wait until september 2005 or so!... thereafter, think we will need to wait additinal one more month for the broadband service!.. one real sleeping giant?!?.. because of monopolise biz?!?... talk about frustration...

long time no blog...

yes.. indeed it's a very long time since i came in here and post a new message.. :) ...

too many things happened... but the one that tops my list will be... finally the new office in under the full swing operation mode now... clients starting to come in... old and new... still trying my best to cover my monthly overhead tho... not to say overhead too high or wat... just that monthly profit that we are making is just too low now... the one and only option is to develop new and concrete biz... don't think there are anymore cost to reduce now... already low... whatever it is.. i begin to love my job... looking forward to it everyday... think, some people say... you will have trouble working if you don't love yr work... true... very true indeed!... although i faced and think will still be facing work problems here and there... but, what the heck, that's work!... :) ... i can prudly say now... i love my job!! :) ...

things with arusan... finally can see some lights at the end of the tunnel... samples are all in... spoke to our 3 main agents.. they are pretty eager to see the real samples... so far they only managed to see the samples via my webshots.com link.. will be meeting them next week and show them the real ones.... thereafter, will need to sit down and speak to the supplier to confirm about the pricing matters... hopefully, the 1st batch of the cargo will be in by mid august 2005... don't wanna waste another year end market... reckoned, we 'wasted' a year of sales... so, really need to kick things off really really fast now in order for us to capture the year end market... according to jj... we didn't 'waste' one year of sales... more like to plan, execute and reap the fruits... true also, but, this took all of us a long time to do it.. like it or not... we need to get the cargo by mid august 2005... we have everything in plan now, i personally don't see a problem of getting it done by mid august 2005...

july 2005 is indeed a very very very good month for me personally... thank God for that!...

no blogging for almost a month...

too many things happened since the last time i blog...

decided to leave interlient and back to seaway... this time collaborating with et...understand et did a lot of 'housekeeping'... now, it's down to et and tt... gonna kick seaway off fm a scratch again...... as et's meaning... 'last time too many human problems, now, let's do it all over again'... the office gonna be in sunway.... same with ark... et will handle ark... i will handle seaway... ark mainly meant for barging biz and seaway mainly meant for day to day operations job... am pretty glad to start seaway all over again.... this time round, i know i will have the current client's base to work on and with and grow the base fm there.... the official 'kick-off' of the new office will be the 1st week of june 2005, hopefully.... i always believe The Man up there will always have plans for me... and He did it again!... thank You Lord!...

jj updated us with the current pending matters... apparently the samples will be in by this month... thereafter, if everything go smoothly as planned... boon and myself will be off to chile to see the loading, meeting up with the supplier and all... let's hope for the best!...

bie and myself is just getting closer with each other... countless of 'arguements' here and there... but, i personally think it's all good for both of us...

man utd lost in the 2004/2005 f.a cup final!!... how?!?... why?!?... am so lost!.. wi the way they played.... top class!... penalty kicks such a cruelty to footie teams!.... knew as much they gonna lose when the ref ended the 2nd half extra time... true enough!... well, there's always next season tho! :) ...

finally.. i broke my vow of not watching star wars!... no other movies to watch that day... decided to go ahead with the movie altho i know i will know nuts about the story.... well, a pretty good movie i would say... esp, the special effects... worth the rm 9.00... :) ... now, i want more of star wars!!... pathetic?!?... yes it is!...

ok.. that's all i can recall now... :) ...

one freaking scary thing happened to me as a wedding car driver... right after putting up the deco for the car... headed to the church, just to disturb them for the wedding rehersal... they finished about 5 minutes before bie and myself arrived..... then, nice chicken rice dinner and all.... driving back to joan's place at about 45kph-55 kph along npe... the 'main bouquet' in front of the car few off!!... at that time already 9ish in the nite... where in the world can we find a florist who is able to do the last minute job to put up another bouquet!!!... panic... scared... panic.... but aunty anne came to the rescue... went back all the way to pj.... we sat down for 20 minutes or so cracking our heads on how to go about it.... aunty anne managed to slavaged some of her 'soon-to-be-throw-away' flowers and put up another beautiful bouquet... better than the flew off one tho! :) .... after tying 5-7 dead knots to the bonnet... the wedding car is perfect again!... phewwwwww... too tired by that time... headed for mamak to rest with few of my cousins and then back to joan's place to put a night there....

the actual day stared extremely early.... 6ish in the morning... aunty gwen's few hard bang on the room door managed to wake me up... yeah, had probs getting up... :) ... thank God just in time to fetch jack fm his fren's place which is about 5 minutes drive... then back to joan's place... as per the schedule, supposed to reached back at joan's place at 0730 hours... we got there 0732 hours... :) ... the 'real journey/drive' begin fm there....

went to jack's place in cheras... really really nice typical chinese community living area... miharja flats..... lurrrrrrrrrve the expressions of his family and neighbours when the whole entourage started honking while turning into the road... did the tea ceremony and all... left for church with joan and her matron of honour... about an hour early for church... make up artist did some touch up on joan's face behind the church while waiting for the service time... at that time we received a news that steve's car involved in a pile up just outside the church... his car in the 1st, i think.... whole back damaged, quite bad... boot and bumper got to change, i guess....... thank God nutin happened to steve and jack then...... beautiful service... nice songs.... interesting jack/joan and joan/jack 'speech' fm the priest... meaningful i dos..... 1st deep and long kiss as husband and wife... etc... :) ... after service... pix time... then.. putrajaya here we come!!!....

got to putrajaya... rest for couple of minutes then buffet lunch.... then took a cab back to joan's place to take my car... fetch bie... and back to putrajaya... mannnnnnnnnnnn... really tiring!!!..... rest for a while..... bath.... then dinner.... very cosy ambience... very spacious.... the ballroom can easily fit 100 tables..... they had about 50 tables that nite... just think of the extra space they had for the dance floor..... nice!!!.... plenty of drinks... beer, whisky, brandy, vodka, etc...... mmmmmmm... yummylicious yam sengs!!... :) ..... mona's rendition of 'yue liang tai piau wo ter sing' stunning!.... bear in mind, dun think she can speak a 'decent and acceptable' sentence of cantonese/mandarin!!.... applause!.... finished food and drinks.. time to go home..... ended up in puchong... saw long queue for road block.... made a u-turn back to putrajaya road..... took serdang road back....

slept right after bathing... got up really late.... went for movie with bie in leisure mall... xxx2... quite nice... special effects kinda good..... then to eve's place for dinner... only a few frens... finally get to watch white chicks!... done with that... headed back.....

next day also got up late.... went to fetch bie for brunch in bangsar... and then movie in times square... coach carter..... would say quite a motivating movie.... after that dinner.... then to see steven and irene... but before that i sent bie back.... long time no see both of them.... discussed with steven re the walkie-talkies... since somehow or another he is in those 'walkies-needed-line', hope he can assist me to push off the sets... back home after that....

now, back to normal working day.... surely i won't say i had a labour day break.....

am i pushing myself to the max limit?!?...

after beating the horrible traffic yesterday fm pj/subang to kl..... had a nice and cosy dinner with dad and kt in manhattan fish market in sogo.... talk about life, cashflow and all.....

lemme write this down.... realised this question is up in my head for a long long long time now... dad or mum go 1st?!?...... not to be 'cruel' or anything like that to have that kinda question/thought... but, i guess it's necessary for future 'planning'..... spoken to et and kt about this.... think they also have the same thought...

dad is a very socialise person... same goes to mum... but, mum is way more independent than dad..... lately, not sure because of old age or wat, dad do depend a lot on mum to help him to do most of his things... at times, she's kinda irritated with that.... and i believe there's a limit to everything... oldies owhh oldies...

ok.. back to the topic... that's wat exactly bie and myself 'fought/argued/debated' about yesterday nite over the phone... she on one hand telling me that i should take things slowly and steadily and only up to my capabilities... me on the other hand, i know i need to do more than that...

would say april 2005 is one of the 'stressfullest' months for me... family problems, finance, work, biz, relationship, etc... i broke down couple of times this month, just so lost at times... and initially i tot april 2005 will be an exciting/interesting/fun filled month for me!...

am just thinking am i pushing myself to the max limit at times on certain things..... i think i do at times... over the max limit to be exact..... but wat the heck can i do when all those unnecessary stuffs came at one go and it is still coming?!?... not that i want that.. not that i can control that.... not that i can navigate that..... it's all happening at the same time!!!...

guess... i just got to take things positively.....

just wanna get over every single thing soonest possible... save up some money and go on a major break...

an interesting weekend...

rotaract district superstar hunt on saturday...
'signed up' for public mutual fund sunday...
broke my 'rayban' on sunday...

had an excellent sat evening with the rac dsh... met some rtrs that i didn't see for a way long time... nice food... relaxing ambience.... interesting programme... they hit it off pretty well... altho some minor glitches here and there, but the committee pulled it off brilliantly...

owe vj an appointment for long long long time ady for a presentation on unit trust funds... after almost after a year plus delay... i finally promised to meet him on sunday in ampang point area... very clear presentation by him indeed.... that's when i found out, insurance and unit trust funds are totally 2 different things.... nobody can blame me and my initial thought, esp he is also selling insurance at the same time! :) .... dun think i wanna get any extra policy/insurance anytime soon... i have about 2-3 policies/insurance now.... i didn't want bie to miss this... called her fm her shopping... she came up and vj did the same presentation all over again... questions here and there... ended up sigining... joint account.... but... have yet to tell and confirm with him which account we want... will sort that out by this week... tot of grabbing an account before the 22nd april 2005.... simply because, public mutual is giving 1% free of units until that date...

my 'rayban' finally broke!... how?!?... placed it on top front of my cap... i knew i have the sunglass up there and i removed my cap carefully just to put it back on while coming down fm one of the many ampang point asccelators..... somehow or another the sunglass drop... the right glass came out and the frame on the right side broke... got this feeling lately that i will need to buy a new sunglass soon... feel no more now!... :) ...

owhh ya.... leisure mall still remain one of my fav cinemas despite it is a typical chinese area/hang out..... not so long queue, comfy seats, clean, etc..... sahara is a good movie to watch..... nice special effects.... simple story line.... great cast.... amazing penelope cruz! ;) ...

baby maker?!?...

got this forwarded email.. kinda funny... read on...



After years of frustration, the Smiths had no children and decided to use a proxy father to start their family.

On the day the proxy fatherwas to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon".

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.

"Good morning madam. You don't know me, but I've come to...", said the man.
"Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you", Mrs. Smith cut in.
"Really?", the photographer asked.
"Well, good! I've made a specialty of babies", he said.
"That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat. Just where do we start?!?", asked Mrs. Smith, blushing.
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too, you can really spread out", explained the photographer.
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work for Harry and me", Mrs. Smith said.
"Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results", explained the photographer again.
"I hope we can get this over with quickly," gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but you'd be disappointed with that, I'm sure", the man said.
"Of course, I know it!!", Mrs. Smith exclaimed.

The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures.

"This was done on the top of a bus in downtown London", the man clarified.
"Oh my god!!", Mrs. Smith exclaimed, tugging at her handkerchief.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with", he said.

The photographer handed Mrs.Smith the picture.

"She was difficult?", asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to Hyde Park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get a good look", the photographer answered.
"Four and five deep?", asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in amazement.
"Yes, and for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling. I could hardly concentrate.Then darkness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just packed it all in", he said

Mrs. Smith leaned forward.

"You mean they actually chewed on your, errr... equipment?", asked Mrs. Smith.
"That's right. Well madam, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod sothat we can get to work", the man said.
"Tripod??", Mrs. Smith looked extremely worried now.
"Oh yes, I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big for me to hold while I'm getting ready for action", answered the photographer.

Mrs. Smith fainted!!...

treasure/amazing hunt...

must say am addicted to treasure hunt now!...

this addiction started when i joined the treasure hunt organised by rackl under the community service avenue... not to say i never join any hunt/s before... but this one really put me right on there!...

brief write up wat happened 2 sundays ago in the hunt...

started the day very very early infact... got up at about 0600 hoursish... a bit late, i thought..... thank God i packed everything that's necessay a nite before... so need not to do those last minute stuffs early in the morning... went to fetch bie, then headed to bangsar straight after that... all our team members, 4 of us... arrived on time... breakfast... then registration.. then speechess... then briefing by the hunt committee... then countdown to the hunt... and voila... hunt begin!... very confident start for us indeed... slow and steady... headed straight to telawi area... finished up the tasks there....... then went to do our detour task/s in bangsar village..... and hunted for stuffs again inside bangsar village...

halfway thru the hunt am all worn out... at times during the hunt, got quite irritated simply because i can't figure out some questions and wat in the world the treasures was... at one time... started calling my cousin and all last minute... gave some ideas/tips to it... and somehow or another we managed to get some 'nearly correct' stuffs we wanted minutes before we submitted our answers... all rushed up to submit the answers after that... line was kinda long.... and, we managed to submit all our answers with 4 minutes penalty... freaking watch of mine indicated that we were 10 minutesish early!!... arghhhhhhhhhh... headed to the mamak opposite bangsar village to chill ourselves up while waiting for the results...

results time!... 4 'speacial awards' given to 4 different teams... most unique name, most gungho team, most cakar ayam team and the neatess submission team... then after that, the 'real results'... fm 5th place to 4th place... 3rd place to 1st place they called all the three teams out... quite the suspend!... :) ...

finally... the 'we are not telling you' team... which is our team... managed to score 43 points, i think.. and that got us the 3rd place!!!... owhh ya, we managed to get the neatess submission award too!!!... woohooooo...

headed for a good lunch after that with some others... all in all... an excellent hunt!!...

reports in the star can be found at.....

meantime..... bring me more hunts!!!...

pope john paul 2...

he came, he led, he taught and he left...

it's about 8 days now... he passed away 2 sundays ago after a long illness or should i say old age... nutin much to say about this man, as am sure most of you already know about him... he trully picked up the cross and followed Him.... follow his stories very closely via the newspaper, net, etc...

somebody asked me... honestly do i think he was a good good pope?!?.... i would say yes, simply because as far as i know... he is the only pope who got himself involve, not only spiritual matters.... but also, 'polictics', etc... he opened the eyes of the world wat a catholic can do...

believe he is resting up there with Him now.... and we shall see who will be the next pope and wat can he do...



accdg to one of the many sayings in www.cnn.com...

An influential pontiff.
Voicing a strong moral vision, Pope John Paul II forged a legacy as one of the Catholic Church's most influential and controversial leaders. The 264th pontiff traveled more and beatified more people than any pope in history, and supporters and critics alike agree on the immense significance of his 26-year papacy.



for more of him... esp his biography, pix, etc.... pls go to... http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/pope/index.html... and... http://popejohnpaul.com/...

rip pope john paul 2!

house... sold...

after months of delays and stuffs... we finally got a buyer to buy our ampang buyer... now doing those legal stuffs and all... sold it for rm 255,000.00... quite a good price lah... not too high... not too low...

didn't realise a broker is so 'important'... think, after less than 2 days we told him to look for a buyer... he managed to get one within that period of time.... the funny thing is... the soon-to-be owner of my ampang house is the owner of the supermarket/mini market opposite my house... well, we dunno about that until we saw him coming to our house... anyway, anyhow, we still need to pay the broker fees tho which we can 'save', if we know the soon-to-be owner of my ampang house is looking for a house around my housing vicinity!...

talking about the word shifting alone actually gives my those creepy kinda feelings... havoc!... messy!... dusty!... painting!... packing!... removing!... transporting!... cleaning!... changing of address!... arghhhhhhh... but then again, really looking forward to my new house in old klang road then... at the extreme least... my journey here and there will be shorten by at least 30%-50%!... thank God!... :) ...

long overdue birthday 'report'... but then again, not that i have a lot to report also!... :) ...

had a great time with sugar and bread pudding in the 16th ryze/mmn mixer... not sure who came up with this idea, but it's kinda fun afterall... thank God, not those creamy cream on my face and body... else, i will have a whale of a time cleaning it then! :) ... a long nite infact, mamak after that... owhh ya, bie made me this really really really meaningful present, those stars in a bottle thingie... also, a nice card fm her completed the excellent present!

on the 'actual day' day itself... didn't do much... got up late on sunday as usual... spend the whole day in the house with bie... talking, discussing and laughing with her is enough for me to experience a meaningful birthday... family dinner... steamboat.. yummylicious!...

no cake blowing episode/s this year or watsoever... but, it's good enough for me.....

shifting soon?!?...

that's what exactly i have in my mind now... need to shift soonest possible... just sent out house for sale email and message to my email contact list and to ryze/mmn.... just before cny... we did everything nicely for interested buyers to come and see... now, can say we are playing the 'waiting game'... can't wait to shift to old klang road, which is so much more convenient for my parents and myself...... the ampang house is a nice house and ampang is a very nice place to stay... but... due to our daily travelling... must move to somewhere in the middle... easier for all of us..... old klang road will be just nice... on top of that... the current owner of the condo is a relative of ours.. so, quite cheap and the offer is too good to resist!... we are crossing our fingers and toes to get a buyer by june 2005 or somewhere around that period... if earlier, better still lah...

meeting et later for ark stuffs and all... for the past 2 weeks or so... a lot of things keep coming up to my head... and seriously, sometimes i just dunno who to turn to, to talk... and talk... and talk.... biz matters, i meant.... think et and jj will be the 2 suitable person to talk to.......

quite free in terms of being an employee in the other company... sales are coming in slowly but steadily for the other company... so, they don't really bother.... but, as for ark and arusan... still have tons of things to do... speaking about that... think the office in sunway is ready... except for a bit painting here and there to do.. and the telephone lines....... and, will need to get my room ready like it or not by 1st april 2005, latest!!... yes, it's april fool!!!... :) ... can't afford to waste anymore time and need to have a place where i can call my own office badly to do my ark and arusan stuffs... plan to get something in, like tables and chairs to sunway office by this weekend.... need to rush ms lim for telephone lines and all.... will most likely bring my house computer there too.....

mannnnnn come to think about it... easter is just less than 3 weeks away... and it's gonna fall on my birthday!!... so, a double celebration?!?... that means am being 'ressurected' too?!?... :) ... leave my old self and start brand new?!?... :) ...thank God for easter!...

dilemma...

just being reminded that 30th april 2005 will be really hectic for me!!... being a driver for my cousin's wedding and getting up at 0600 hours to get ready and one full day of run around is no joke!... am sure despite the 'torture' i got to go thru that day.... it's gonna be a good day!... gonna be a family affair.... well... we'll see how it goes...

30th april 2005 is also boo's wedding... i promised her to be there at her wedding when i conveniently forgotten about my duty for my cousin's wedding... after that, spoken to boo about it.... apologised to her and all...... wat else lah... she's obviously a bit mad at me..... who to blame?!?... me!!!... didn't check thru 1st my schedule for april 2005... arghhhhhhh.....

30th april 2005 also a day that i supposed to be in ipoh for a very very good fren's birthday... which i nearly promised him to be up there... phewwwwww... just managed to remember in time that i have tons of stuffs to do on that day.... maybe will make an early trip up there tho... mid april 2005 or something like that..... spend a weekend there and all.... miss ipoh and the people there..... know them fm the rotaract organisation......... such an alien to ipoh when my previous company transfered me there for work.... thank God for them!...

rules are meant to me bend/broken?!?... and.. the weekend...

yup... that's wat exactly am thinking over the weekend... did some pondering over it... suddenly this particular sentence got into me so strong that i believe it's so real!.. complicated eh?!?... :) ... prolly, the nature of my biz am in tho... to me personally... strictly on biz speaking.... watever the rules and regulations may be... maybe are meant to be bend/broken for a reason or 2... i mean, come on peeps... things are dead and humans are alive.... prolly this particular sentence... rules are meant to be bend/broken.... will be my favourite sentence of the year!..... wicked me! :) ... last year was... errrr... i think it was the sentence.. move on! :D .....

wat a weekend it was..... saturday all excited for the welcome home johannians event... really looking forward to it since God knows when..... the whole field turn like a huge carnival like atmosphere... everything decorated to green and yellow colours... met some of my friends whom i didn't see since 9 years ago!!... wat a feeling... excellent activities.... foodstalls fm tandori to mee goreng to lamb chop situated all over the field.... the only serve normal carbonated drinks and mineral water... how i wished they served some cold and nice chilled beer!... :) ... most of the sji cadet band alumnis consists of 1996 batch... think some of them gather together and formed this alumni.... think their main reason is to help the current and future sji cadet band members... one reason to be proud of my batch!... another reason is the t-shirt we have for our own batch... mannnnnn... think we stole the limelight when everyone walking around in the black t-shirt with a nice looking 'eagle' printed in front top left of the t-shirt!...

left early that night for a dinner with jj and the rest in ss2..... but before that went to fetch bie, also in ss2 at that time.... nice dinner with good friends around... talked and chatted the nite away... did a little clarification about ark and arusan... some of them don't really get it why 2 companies at one go for me... :) ..... owhh ya, we were the 2nd last table to leave the restaurant!... well, dun blame us...... we are just making full use of the place! :) ...

sunday got up really late...... got up fm the bed 'officially' at about 2 ish... yeah, missed morning church service... :) .... sent bie to pyramid to meet up with her friends... really hungry at that time... and dying to have dikayu nasi kandar in usj.... called yip to join, since it'e very nearby his house.... that freaking place of rice with fried chicken, a small curry sotong, begedil and some vege i had cost me rm 12.00!!!.... but, worth the money tho.... really nice... sinfully divine! :) .... yip joined me with ps after i finished eating... bored... dunno wat to do... dunno where to go... but, had the intention to go for evening church service..... but then again, somehow..... 3 of us ended in summit for a movie!!!...... finally a horror movie which is quite diff fm the rest... quite good tagalog horror movie...

ok.. got to get going now to finish off my lunch... 2 packets of indo mee goreng and a mug of teh o ice... ahhhh.. just nice.... then... it's back to work.... arghhhhhh... monday owhh monday!!!!....

Cheer, cheer and courage display,
All ye Johannians join in the lay,
Send a volley of cheers on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky,
What though the odds be great or small,
Dear old St.John's will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching,
Onward to victory!

Tunjukkanlah keberanian,
Marilah semua Johannian,
Laungkan semangat berkobar,
Hingga angkasa bergegar,
Walau apa pun rintangan,
St.John tetap berjaya menang,
Barisan putera setia,

- PLEDGE TO ST.JOHN'S
Music and Lyrics by Dennis Doss

We'll strive with our hearts and soul,
With faith and zeal to reach our goal,
Just like the eagle that seeksto spread its wings on high,
For St.John's we'll do or die!

Fide Et Labore as our guide,
We'll do our best we'll do what's right,
We'll keep the flag flying high up in the skies above,
And we'll always be ready to serve!

We'll tarnish not your name,

And we'll sing "Long Live St.John's"!


ONWARD ST.JOHN'S
Music and Lyrics by Leonard Wong & Edward Dass

Let us march onto glory,
Let us rage onto fame,
Let us raise our voices and our hearts,
Onward, Onward St.John's!

The gold and the green,
The white and the red,
We are here O' dear St.John's,
The gold and the green,
The white and the red,
The bold, the best and the brave!

Let us march onto glory,
Let us rage onto fame,
Let us raise our voices and our hearts,
Onward, Onward St.John's,
Onward, Onward...,
Onward St.John's!

it's fridayyyyyy...

mannnnnn..... another week coming to an end... quite a prodcutive week i would say... managed to settle some of the long outstandings stuffs for ark and arusan... very very tiring week i have to say... not physically, but mentally.... extremely tired... too many things up there in my head........

looking forward to the weekend actually... esp, the welcome home johanianns event... yeah, me will be going back to school!!... would be good to meet up with some really really old friends and teachers... biz networking is definitely an important element now... think most of my batch already in the biz world... who knows, we'll be able to connect to each other for biz purposes... and, also purely for old time friendship sake... would also be good to visit the school again, understand some major renovations went on... will see what it's like then.... sji.. here i come!!!...

another event that am looking forward will be jj's dinner in ss2 after going back to school... yum-yummy... i just lurveeeeeeeee food... :) ...

just read iggy's blog... interesting stuffs... :) ... but, wat the heck he said by saying... if i have any regrets losing boo... i went like... huh?!?!?!.... speaking of boo... really happy for her... she's getting married soon.... all the best lady!... get a or some juniors quick!... she's one of the bestest friends i know from rotaract..... rotaract?!?!?!... ahhh.. i miss those days!......

dunno why... for me, logistics/shipping trade is normally a busy day on friday.. or should i say it's really busy towards the end of the week..... tons of things in the office now to settle before i leave for 2 appointments in ss2.. one about 3ish and one more at 4ish... then to pick bie up and off to a snooker/pool session with few ryzers/mmners...

gosh.. it's 2 pm already... u mean i wrote this article during my lunch time?!?... ok, no lunch for me today... now, who say i don't go on a diet!! :) ...

God is good all the time... and... all the time God is gooooooood!...

decide to own a blog, finally!!..

yes... yes... i finally got my own blog after months of contemplation and reading blogs belong to others... not sure wat to do with it at 1st actually... but then again... would be good to serve as my 'diary'... watever it is... stuffs here are to a certain extend only tho... :) ...

tiring working day... not that i had a lot of work, but... mentally tired... so many things to do, yet so little time... still figuring out how should i divide my time for 3 companies when things starts moving!!... tired... tired...... but, had good fun towards the evening with the usual grand city gang gathered together for anand's birthday... quite a good number of people turn up... only a few didn't managed to make their way to gc!... well, there's always next time... got a bottle of blueberry vodka for him... yeah, the little bottle ones... told him that he should start drinking before he hit the 30 mark!... that's the 'un-angelic' side of me speaking... :) ... but then again, for a guy who can start talking cock and singing song after a can or 2 of shandy.... made me speechless!!... think he had fun blowing 29 candles.. 9 small candles stucked in a piece of brownie fm secret recipe... and... the 2 big ones in a piece of vadai!.. now, that's unique!... got an sms fm him, saying that he can never walk in gc again.. kinda true, after singing the birthday song and indicated loudly that he is 29!... quite a big hoo-hah... gc is not that big and it's packed with frequent dinner crowd, on top of that we go to gc very very often, mind you...

speaking of hitting 30 mark.... kinda freak me out to think that i will be hitting the 30 mark in 4 years time!!.. arghhhhhhh.... no.... no... nooooooo... so many thing i have yet to do and accomplish... time is really running out for me!!... need to really put extra effort into things.... apparently this is a good year for me and my kinda companies/biz, if i go seeking... yeah, i kinda agree with the stuffs am going thru now... everything seems to be in place... had a long mamak session wit jj yesterday which lasted about 3 hours or so in suzie's.... tons of things we managed to talked during that period of time... how to grow arusan, 'brainstorming' stuffs, wat's the latest in town, rotaract, etc.... we agreed that everything is in place for us... just need to get it moving!!... when will things move.... whennnnnn?!?!?.... ark on the other hand is doing ok... think et is doing fine with his barging stuffs and all..... i personally need to bring in more biz for ark at this moment... more like for me personally... :) ... only time will tell when will stuffs go into full swing mode... basically, between ark and arusan... we have everything in place... and, we can do almost anything and everything under the sun.... fm logistics to trading to marketing to i.t stuffs... you name it, we can do it... God, help us to get things moving plssssssssss!!!...

bie is not feeling too good today... her back is giving problem again... she must do something about her back soon... prolly go back to the same doc which treated her... told her to be extremely careful about her back... really feel uncomfortable to see her 'suffering' like that.... to me she is a very weak person... bound to have those kinda 'not-so-feeling-well' feelings every other alternate day... but, that's her... just pray and hope she will be better... she's one tough lady!...

ok... getting late now... need to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz soon!... but before that, must catch this local chinese drama serial over tv2 at about 0030 hours.... yeah, nutin else to watch... :) ...

looking forward to tmr!...
