Song In Head

I don't know about the rest of you guys but it's annoying to me at times when you have this tune that you like but for the life can't remember the song title or even the band name. And all I can remember is the tune playing in the head and I've been looking high and low based on the chorus of what I thought at the time it meant.

Turns out to be this.

Among other things that happened to me today to my head is I had another moment of forgetfullness. There I was, busy applying a service pack 4 to the exam delivery workstation and then my mind came up with something that I shouls look in the Net. Got to the server and then, *poof*. I can't remember what I was supposed to look for. I pulled a puzzled/confused/DUH look for a minute before snapping myself out of it and I STILL can't remember what I was supposed to search for.

Oh well, some new sites that should prove interesting:

Video on the Web

Currency Exchange, Realtime

What's that process running on my machine?

Heh. Oh and I have got to set a reminder to myself to buy new markers for the exams. Later dudes and dude-dette's. Got a dead P3 to diagnose.

Interlude



My mind is going through a phase/moment right now. It's a mess, kinda like the fern here and if I could, I'd jumped right inside and hide. Hoping to find some peace of mind from all the racket I'm listening or I'm facing. I think I might need a break of sorts, I think.

*sigh*

6 more days till I get my 2nd tooth sawed off my lower jaw...

commenting and trackback have been added to this blog.

Facelift, FINALLY!

Man, it sure took me a long time to get this done! Now, I can scratch this to-do item off!

*imaginary strikes off list from imaginary list*

I got this from Martijn ten Napel, though I hope he doesn't mind me making minor changes.

Just got to go to Haloscan and set up the commenting system again, and make a visit to Unkymoods.

Take care you guys!

Hey All

I just got my tooth pulled yesterday. And I'm still bleeding, although it's not so much anymore. And no, I haven't felt dizzy/light-headed, yet. :D

That's 1 down or taken out, and 3 more to go. No. 2 is scheduled for a minor surgery at the General Hospital. Got to remember to stuff myself with food before that.

Anyways, I guess I could say I'm a blood-sucker since I had to swallow my own blood. Funny though, I can't really taste what's it like... Heh... *Weird, I am*

Gonna meet up with Jerome and Zack later for lunch at Hartz. I'm not sure why but that place, well, the branch at Sarawak Plaza anyway, always had this form of nostalgia for me. Maybe I was there when I was real small and haven't been in there since, or I went there again with my ex-girlfriend's family. Hmmm... Or maybe that the place has been there since I could remember as a kid and that place has rarely change since that 20 or so years of my life.

Oh and no picture's lately because:

1: Lazy to shoot.
2: Not sure of what to shoot.
3: Crazy training schedule this month, last month, and I predict next month as well.
4: Camera was lent to a colleague of mine to settle a dispute.
5: Camera sucks at night shot. Or I suck at night shot because I still haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

Oh and Land Of The Dead tonight! Yay! No-brainer flick! But then I'd probably go asking stuff like:
Why 99% of the human population died?
What about the animals?
What about the plants?
What caused this?
Can't they just aim for the head?
Even if there's only 1% of humanity left, Why can't they just nuke the heck out of the planet or leave for space?

Thinking.... pain... must switch to singing-in-my-head mode.

*It's the end of the world as we know it,*
*It's the end of the world as we know it,*
*It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine...* }Loopback

Woke Up On Teh Wrong Side

Hints that the day may be off to a bad poo-poo start:

Woke up late on the day that you can't afford to wake up late, kinda like taking a nap only to realise you have no time for a shower and dress up because you're late for your dinner date. Not that it has happened to me before...

Left the house in a hurry only to realise 5 minutes after that you left an important item behind, thus forcing you to double back and get it.

Having to face a day full of fussy, snobby, unrealistically high expectations from people a.k.a customers. (We all go through this at some point)

Having suddenly informed by your boss that you're flying to this place next week without discussing it with you first, thus effectively screwing up your every other plans. I guess I should be grateful that they've taken care of the accomodation, tickets, transportation and daily allowances. Told you I'm not a fan of suprises.

And ending the work day by happening to be in the right place at the right time to see a bunch of middle aged people running through the streeet in as little as nothing more than red loin cloth. Well, the ladies were more decent. After texting to Raven of what might be the event that happened, I did some Wiki-ing around and found this. And dinner was sponsored.

So.... I guess... that's not so bad eh. Heheh

Its been awhile

Busy week. Teaching, prepping, teaching, working on someone else's work. At least there's something new to read here. No, this is not generated from my brain. There's too much neurons blasting away to make any sense. Hehe.....

This I took from the Friendster bulletin. Yea, I'm a lazy ass :P

Rain...
One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town, taking those extra
precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen, spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm
thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some fact for a while, and
was now ready to expound all that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear. "What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain! ;" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield wipers are like God wiping our sins away."
After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.
"That's really good, Aspen."
Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take this revelation? So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"
Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer:
"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.
Isn't it distressing to know that when you forward this message you will not send it to many
on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them. Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think
of us than what God thinks of us. In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.

Yea, I dont even bother to make edits to it. 5:30 p.m. bah... Finish office hours.

Little Things

You could say that I slept on a less-than-better moods.

This morning while I was washing my coffee cup, I accidentally made cute, tiny bubbles! And they were flying around! Whee! And there's FINALLY sugar to make coffee! Yes, yes, I'm not a fan of kopi O kau (that's coffee shop talk here for coffee, black, no sugar)

On another note, after a conversation with my colleagues here about marriage counsel in the Catholic faith, I had this thought that it's better to break up a relationship now than to go through deeper troubles when you're married. True, true, since I'm not a fan of divorce stuff and I believer in Till-Death-Do-We-Part thing.

Birthday and such

Today is Malaysia's 48th birthday.

I could do the mid-life crisis pun but.... meh.

Monday Monday

A few days back my machine had run into some hardware problems so no PC and no internet. It's back up and running fine, for now so to Terence:

Thanks dude!

Helped my dad to set up the microphone on the machine downstairs so my mum can call her sister's and chat. And my dad and I discussed about how to set up the rear speakers of the home theathre set. That and also about when and what colours to paint our house.

How confusing can a relationship get? Very, I should say, and not to mention quite frustrating at times. We all try and tried our best to understand the other and we try and tried to assure them of things. I'm just confused right now. And tired.

Caramel ice cream is good for me

Noticed one thing today. My camera couldn't take pictures well in low light.

I'm guessing it's either selling this one in favour of a new one or I really need to use flash if I wanna take night photo's. If the amount light is too low, "ghost" pixels start to appear. Only a few photo's were salvageable from last night's shooting. The rest had too much noise.

*sigh* At least I still have a camera so I'll just see what's the future has...

I know I was supposed to write something but I lost it somewhere in a mush pile that is my brain. Hmm... I supose I could reccomend this to you guys, especially those who are into illustrations and graphics stuff. That's about it.

Last night was fun. When my laughter sounds like a hyena and my sides hurts and my eyes are watery, that's a good thing.

Ponder moments

Just say "when" and you'll stop the pain of your life,
Bring it to an end.
Just say "when" and you could make amends
Just say Hello, say Hello again...

Test

Curtesy from Jerome

nonsensical nonsense

It's been a while since I last updated my blog...

That's pretty much how my life is. Unassuming, average Joe, with a generous serving of awkwardness and a pinch weirdism (I coined that term so... :D)

Been making the effort to run at least twice a week. Contemplated on death and the ritual tied to bury the dead...

I'm not gonna say anything about the rituals on it since it's not my business, I'm just thinking on more about my own death.

Back then, I had this idea of setting my body on fire and dump the dust on the evening winds by the sea. That came from watching Arthur. You know, Sean Connery as King Arthur... Can't be sure of the movie title... but I remember the ending. King dies, body laid on woodpile, cast to the ocean/lake/big body of water and a sole archer shoot a flaming arrow at it to set it alight. Burn, flame, ash. Instant Cremation.

Then I had another reflect back on this dead stuff... Now, I'm considering either that, or just my Last Rite's and 6 foot deep under. Nothing extravagant. Though it would be cool, i think to have my body cremated and put inside a urn, right after I've been given the Last Rite's of course, and displayed at my kid's/grandkid's home. Hey, imagine the kids telling his friends:
"Hey guys, that's my great(to the power of n) grandpa right over there! Isn't that cool?!" I bet the friends would be in shock or in awe or just dang curious to open up and breath in my remains. Muahahahaha!

Yea, I think really weird things. And I talked to myself about this in my head before I got it all down. And all this sparked from watching the Discovery Channel on the topic of Afterlife.

Speaking of talking to myself, I did talked about changing my blog template before... I was thinking of taking the current one and just really strip it of the images and the current formats. I hope that's not illegal... PLease let me know if I am. Besides, I need to clean up my blog.

Speaking of cleaning up, I'm in the middle of cleaning up, categorizing, arranging, sorting, inventorizing and renaming all my stufff on my hard drive. Tons of documents, music, applications... My head is spinning! After which, I'm gonna do another clean format and re-partition my hard drives again. Oh, and I'm gonna get a new P3 processor soon. And as usal I'm gonna clock it. hehehehe...

Plus I found this gem! Go! Support them! And also, Anarchy Online! Sweet...

Went to see the doctor this morning regarding me cough. Gave me usual meds, antiobiotics galore and cough meds. I spit out blood today, so that's probalby why the doc said if the meds dont work, I'll need to get radiated to see if anything sinister is at work. Oh well... I'm suspecting its the blood form my gums. Yeah, I still haven't made the appointment to perform dental surgery on my teeth.

Oh well... Gotta go now. Take care eh.

Wine, with a 'H'

Stupid memories! Stupid, stupid STUPID!

Annoying how old memories stir up things. A LOT of things. Shit, I cant believe I'm still this vunerable.

Stupid.

It was over a long time ago and I should've gotten over it. Damn it, just a glance of her can still mess me up bad. Stupid brain. Stupid whiny wailing emo episode. Stupid memories. Stupid shit.

I know her mum means well, I mean she's my god-mother when I joined the Catholic faith. But dang it, it still hurts. And I know her mum means well that I should go and visit them whenever I'm free but I can't bear to go back there and see her anymore. Not when this can still easily happen to me.

I bet they could see through my pitiful excuse that I was busy with work when the mum asked how come I haven't visited for a long time.

Sweetie, I know you're reading this. I'm alright dear. I know this will pass soon enough. I just need to keep my mind busy to not think of this. Oh and Happy Anniversary! It's been what, 5 months?

Getting back to work now. I'm gonna turn off the comment post on this one.

Royale Ramble...

I hate getting sorethroat, especially when I really need to use my voice box to teach.

On herbal "anti-sorethroat" candy treatment. It doesn't taste so bad actually.

2 Beef+Egg+Cheese burgers by the roadside stall and a homemade freshly squeezed orange juice for dinner last night was so worth it man!

Ramblings again

Let's see, 2 friends of mine got married a couple days back so congratulations to them.

Question now is (as mentioned by Jerome):

Who's next?!

....

Dang it! I hate this. Everytime I do something other than blogging my mind is churning blog-worthy material and when I'm here wrtiting it down, them (them as in my mentality churning idea) faucets get clogged.

I suppose wonder at the question of marriage, I suppose. No doubt I'll probably be blabbering it all off with no clear signs as to what I'm talking about. I suppose I could say I'm planning to tie the knot before I hit 30, maning to say I'll probably do that when I'm 29. But then again, plans like this never go through.

I mean face it. I was in previous relationship of some 6 years, quite turbulent, but still a good relationship to the point of both sides of the family like practically met. And then I had to do the dumbest move (aside from being a big time jerk that is). Milk gone sour.

Yes, yes I do have my moments of relapse but please, my blog, my rant. Hehe... So far keeping this episode confined to the cages of this blog. Speaking of cages, I was reading Marita's blog and when I saw the picture, I was like "OMG CUTE!!!!!"
*Yeesh! talk about squee-ing like a little boy* Then I took a closer look at the eyes. Now, I'm no psychologist nor having any special animal empathy but he/she looked like:

Kill me now.

Oh look, walking fresh meat that I cant sink my teeth into.

My home, my home. Is this my home? It can't be.

My freedom is dead. I have nothing left.

Food. Where's the food?

I'm bored.

Among other things, beside's blogging with a "Brain Off" sign, looking at the camera everytime the bell rings but there's no one at the door, reading other people's blog when I'm still writing mine, goes to show one thing. Bloody short atttention life-cycle.

I haven't seen my girl in what, 2 months? Wow. Pretty harsh if you ask me. This is my first ever long distance realtionship after all. Miss her. Though I am aware of the fact that people do read my blog (intentionally or not), jiwang-ness tends to ooze out. And no, jiwang-ness isn't exaclty a word in the English vocabulary but... *shrugs*

It's about 12:55 p.m now and I should be getting my food. Colleagues aren't here so I'm alone in this so-called 'visited' office. Like the living world isn't scary enough (lawsuit's, back-stabbing's, pressure, weird copycats, loans, marriage, kids, parents, divorce, rabid dogs/cats, God, etc..) the dead apparently finds it "fun" to haunt/scare the wits out of the living. *sigh*

Damn it. Still got nothing worth writing. OK-lah, I stop here now. Going to upload some pic's and email some pictures. Then going to get food before going back to do some actual work.

I want an AnthroPC!

Asian movie about swords.

Dinner at the newly opened Indian cafe. Well, not exactly-lah since I had my dinner at home.

And a:



Edit: 4:30p.m

I'm bleeding off my ear. Well, not exactly. I popped a zit at the back of my ear. Plus, my senior trainer is pissed so I might write this down to humor myself, all bloody and all. Oh and don't worry, I washed my hands off blood before I typed this all down. Hee.....

Weirdo I am...

Quickie

Unlike the sugesstive title for this post, this is just a bunch of ramblings in 5 minutes.

Last Friday, the same day I got drunk, my dad bought the family a new 29-inch box, 5.1 speakers and DVD player.

Last Saturday, broke my back helping my dad carry the old tv set to my grandpa's place. Up the hill. And my dad got a bag of sago worms. Mmmm....

Admitted to the hopspital at 5-6 in the morning due to the general rash developed from sago worms consumptions. Oh, and the sago worms looked a bit like them worms in the tequila bottle's, except fatter. Could be wrong though.

Now, my legs are really aching from running. Seriously need to get back in shape. Oh and just got a call from Maria, fellow kaki-tengok-movie. Going to catch Fantastic 4. Ain't complaining here, since she's buying.

Work-wise, it's a crazy month. Out of the blue, every company/organisation is calling training companies requesting room rental, PC rental, or training, on the same date! What the durian?!

Bye.
