Though it's 3 days overdue, and many would have blogged about it so I won't say much. I could have written it down at that same day but I had a class later in 3 hours.
It's sad to have the Crib closed. Like what Raven said. Plenty of photo's taken (mine went flat in the last half hour or so...) and plenty of drinks.
And in about 9 hours or so, I'll be in a operating room and probably awake and having my tooth sawed off my jaw. Heh.
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.
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...
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!
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
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
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
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.
Today is Malaysia's 48th birthday.
I could do the mid-life crisis pun but.... meh.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
Let's see, 2 friends of mine got married a couple days back so congratulations to them.
Question now is (as mentioned by Jerome):
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...
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.
I just noticed something.
I have been a blogger since May 2004.
As of now, this blog is 1 year, 1 months and 26 days old. (I think, my math sucks after midnight)
Wow.

I remember pouring the vodak without the Sprite to dilute it.
I remember my world started to spin, wrap, slowed down, etc. by the 4th serving.
I remember the talk about piercing, the sexpo, the talk about the girl whose breast were so perky that she could jiggle them like a man flexing his chest muscles and she didn't need to wear bra.
I remember myself saying "If a guy can give a good head to his girl, he's for keeps".
I remember nearly passing asleep while taking a leak in the toilet.
I remember 'Double E' said to me that he could smell the alcohol from my mouth where he is sitting.
I remember meeting 1,2,3,4,5 friends unexpectedly in SOHO. That was nice.
I remember driving home feeling completely numb and honked by a Mercedez because I drove like a drunkard and at a point reaching 120Kph but still nowhere near the speeds of the modified Iswara and the Corolla.
I remember calling up Charlz because I remember telling her before we left that I'd give her a call to make sure I'm home, alive and in 1 piece.
I remember walking like an idiot and a klutz trying to change my clothes.
I remember passing out flumped on my bed only to wake up later to rush to the toilet.
I remember making friends with the toilet bowl, going down on my hands and knees and puking.
I remember waking up in my bed 4 hours later to get to work while struggling with my hangover.
I remember feeling, reacting and quite possibly looking like a zombie at work and sleeping the last working hour because my job was done and I couldn't care less if my boss didn't like it one bit.
Let's do it again! Hee........
Don't you find it annoying that when the public broadcast station's start either playnig a song, video, movie, you're enjoying it and then, something gets cut, filtered, altered. In other words censored.
It's annoying. Real annoying. Censorship board. *Roll Eyes*.
But. It amusing to find that their English mastery isn't... current. They dont seem to understand the meaning "holding up a store".
Oh ya, anyone wanting to buy books, science, fiction, magazine's, comic's, whatever at Times, let me know (via e-mail, comments, whatnot...). I want to put my privelege card to good use. I haven't use that card since I got it in... 2003, 2004? It's due expiration is September 2006. And no, there's no points in doing this.
Haven't got much to say. Currently, Ol' geezer a.k.a Ancient a.k.a me ole P3 machine is going through a data re-structuring. Gigabytes upon gigabytes of stuff scattered all over my hard drives.
A total of 200 Gigs of space and already I'm running out.
Heh. *idiot grin*
Gotta call my friend up and take his stuff. After that, it's due for another re-format. Then gotta re-wire my LAN connection. Streamyx seems to be lagging real bad here. Still forgotten to take photo of Ol'geezer.
Finally gotten myself a digital tuner and capo for my guitar. I desperately needed a tuner especially since I'm tone-deaf. At least with the help of that tuner, I can tune my guitar myself, and hopefully be able to tune by ear one day. Hmmm.... seems that all that vocal training and music lessons I took when I was still studying in uni didn't help much. Oh well...
After months of neglecting my guitar and forgetting what was the main purpose in getting one, I'm finally learning to play. Again. And my fingers hurt. Should get it re-strings. Or I could wait for the first string to snap (and probably take my pinky along) then get it done.
Maybe I should take a photo of the tuner, capo, and my guitar before and after it's re-stringed. Then it's a matter of remembering to post them and not being lazy to do it. *idiot grin* Hmmm... I think I'll try and look for Lee's Music Shop and get it done there, since Mac said they did a great job at his guitar.
Finally bought me a pair of Boots of Haste, I mean, running shoes. Heee...... And as a result of a couch potato lifestyle and smoking, my whole body aches. My sides even aches when I cough or sneeze. Yea, I'm in a terrible shape. :P
And I finally kicked myself in the nuts hard enough to get me, myself and moir to clean my messy, all-over-the-place, paper-everywhere, dust-crusted, cobweb-on-the-edges room. I live in a pig sty that is my room. I'm not gonna take a photo of my own room though. Not at least till I change the weeks old bed sheet covers.
When do I forsee myself to get all that done? If I'm lucky, motivated, and not lounging around, by the end of the week. Hehe. Why would want to even blog about this? No reason. :D
Wow, did not expect to be this long... wow...
Meet Tyke, a pup I simply stick a name to it. He's my neighbour's dog. And boy does he have some teeth!
*Covers ears to avoid SQUEE damage*
Right before I was down with the sore throat, flu and fever thingy, I went to get my hair cut.
At first, I didnt want to because I was lazy to get my hair cut (lame excuse, I know) and secondly, I am totally clueless as to what sort of hair style would fit my hair and my mug a.k.a face or how I wanted my hair cut (which is the first question they ask before they even touch my hair).
I used to regularly patron this shop near where I live. I was a kid back then and the only hair instruction I gave to the barber was from my mum (yea, I was a dorky, geeky, bully's favourite kid). Then I decided keep my hair long.
So now, if I ever need a hair cut, I go to Classic Vogue in K.P. (that's Kuching Plaza) that Raven recommended some time ago.
Sttep price, but well worth it. I had learn stuff about hair do's and don't when it comes to hair care, shampoo and conditioner and what not to do if i've recently straightened my hair and dyed (yea, I had a Ah Beng phase). Anyways, without further ado, the photo's of before and after!
First it was the ear.
Yesterday was the sore throat.
Today, sneezing my head off.
Tomorrow is anyone's guess
Take care now.
RWMF day 1.
Did my usual thing. Got to the office, turn on the computer, updated the antivirus, logged into Yahoo Messenger.
Surfed the web, checked mail, read some stuff from Marita, Dee, Mac, Rin, Velvetraven, Kenny.
Then I checked my friendster account. Nothing much to do there, checked some bulletin postings, and out of morbid curiosity, I searched for Kenny's account.
You know that horrorscope thingymado they added to Friendster? Well... this is just wrong(to me anyway).
Kenny, I dont know how you feel about this but I dont feel that way. I'm straight, and plus I'm taken. And I have hairy legs. You dont like hairy legs, right? Or was it that you find it a challenge that some one else has more hair than you, or was it your balls?
You all know this is just light-hearted humour, right?
I hate anti-biotics. Hate , hate, LOATHE!
I hate the taste (if I were to somehow expose my tongue to the white, horrible powdery stuff that is not anthrax) and I hate the smell even more. Especially when I get gas coming up to exit through my mouth.
EWW!
Hate.
All this because an insect just had to crawl up my ear and die. What the hell did I do to deserve this? Rhetorical question, don't answer.
Coffee+Lunch break+supervision free+PC+full stomach load of curry chicken rice =
War of the Worlds, bebeh(sengaja di-spell dengan seteruk-teeruks). Hopefully I might be able to catch it.
the long walk to justice
Go and make your voice (or ping) heard. Now. I did.
It all started when I was curious to find out what was so great about Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic. It was hook, line and sinker for me. I am COMPLETELY immersed in the game. Now, I have 2 games to get for myself. Preferably Christmas, since I'm too old to be entitled for any gifts from anyone(though I encourage the spirit of giving! :P) Thanks to Vinny and Jerome for getting me into the game!
As a result, I have baggy eyes, radioactive skin (due to late night gaming sessions) and have turned myself into a somewhat of a hermit. I was inclined to say 'geek' or 'hobbity-geek' but, meh.
Which is not a bad thing considering I'm surviving on a shoestring budget till my pay some time June 5th. Why does it take this long to get my hands on my "hard" earned cash? Well, my boss has this habit of being very... uncooperative in the financial issue. But let's not talk about that shall we? Last thing I need to get worked up for this old man's issue when it's not even worth my effort to do so.
Define shoestring budget:
Where I can only afford to buy 1 bun a day or not buy anything and rely on the office's biscuit's and coffee or tea for the duration of the working office hours, bank account is completely drained, and having to suspend my excursions till I can afford petrol and set my communication mode to receive once I have run out of credit.
I know, I know, there are others who are in a more worse situation than I am but please, this is my own personal space! Let me whine as much as I want. Which also happens to relate(somewhat) to another topic. As HK-47 puts it:
Why is it that I feel like it's not worth doing? This, I mean. Life, people, emotions (damn emotions). This. It's annoying. I feel like what I do aint worth the effort.
I sure as heck ain't gonna go suicidal. It's just. Annoying. Its annoying me that I have this nagging thought of being left out.
I'm counting on blogging this down to get all this off my mind and my flat, muscle-mass deprived chest. It had better. I'm starting to get easily annoyed, extremely short attention spans and just plain nastiness.
*Darkside points gained*
Just when I had a nice pic to upload, the batteries died out on me. *teeth grinding* I so want to Force Crush a living creature now. Maybe not kittens
*Eee, bias!*
*choke, die*
Dashboard Confessionals - for You To Notice (Live MTV Unplugged)
Please bear my incessent ramblings.
I've been feeling tired. Not just tired, the "there isn't much to live for so why the bloody hell do I even bother to try?" tired. Sound suicidal. 'Fraid so. Though I'm too much of wuss to even nick myself.

Gotta go, need to set up 15 PC's for 1st Silicon's class tomorrow.
Ah Monday... There's perfectly nothing wrong about it of course, it's just that I'm still in my holiday mood and I hate going to work in that kind of mood. Also, I have fully recovered from my perpetual headtrip/stoning/OMGworldisspinningohwaititsonlyme.
First things first.
To Will, thanks a bunch. Looking foward to next Gawai at your kampung again. To Leon, thanks for introducing me to Night train! WOOHOO!
You see, Last Wednesday i.e Gawai, I went over to my Will's kampung to celebrate. Though yes, I am a Bidayuh myself and yes I do celebrate Gawai, though on a much smaller scale, i.e, family gathering and barbeque at my grandpa's place in Kuab(or is it Kuap?)(that's my kampung's name)
Minus the beer/liquor.
Anyway, there's the food and the beer. Lamb curry is excellent! And so is the bamboo chicken! :D Put my stuff up stairs since I was staying the night. Went visiting with the parents around a few other houses and the last house we went to served tapai! (local liquor)
By the time we got back it was already 9 in the evening. Much later on, another friend of ours came by for a visit and stayed till like around midnight. I think I've must slept at about 6 in the morning.
Woke up around 9 (cant be sure) cause Will woke me up. And next thing I know, we were smoking hand-rolled smokes and drinking cold beer in the hot morning. On an empty stomach. For breakfast. And that marked the beginning of my adventure in perpetual headtrip. I must've downed 3 cans of it because the day was just hot. Then went down to escape the heat and had some food(lunch time by then) and had more beer. It was hot and apprently, I was bought in by the theory mentioned by a friend of mine that drinking beer helps to alleviate body heat. So, with that in mind, and a hot day to boot and playing cards to pass the time, I think I had another 3 more cans before I had a shower. Boy, mountain cold water feels good! Raven and Shook were already in the house when I got out of the bathroom and The first thing she said was: "Nick, Hi. Do you remember me?" Wow, I must be looking that stoned to get that question! :D
Felt much better after the bath and had another can when Mac and Azreen arrived. Ziggy, Will's elongated dog (which in my mental state looked like a furry grey sausage) was the star of the moment. Hey, cute dog what... Mac's younger brother who we also called Mac got lost on the way but managed to find the place. Sat down, talked, had fried chicken wings (which goes well with beer) and a smoke, and with the whole group together, Will brought us out to the nearby water fall. Took plenty of shot's there. Will had a swim while the rest of us were either:
a: Climbing rocks
b: taking photo's
c: drinking beer
d: any combination above.
Photo's here
Note: I was still perpetually high.
Had a group photo before we head back and split up. Mac, Azreen, Raven and Shook head back to check up on the kitten and a shower before meeting up at Leon's place.
The other Mac stayed behind with me and Will. Had dinner, packed up and met up at Leon's place. Gerome, Mac and Azreen were there already and a while later, Raven and Shook arrived thus completing the circle.
Note: Still perpetually high at that time.
There we were, we being Leon, Will, Raven, Shook, The Other Mac, Gerome, Azreen, Mac and Will's significant other. To get the ball rolling, Leon open up the Night Train, and man, that is one good liquor! Then we had Tequila. This is where my headtrip went gaga. World is spinning, tequila in me throat which by the way, is what tequila does to me. It tends to stick to my throat like it's gonna come up, even after the orange drink and lots of plain water. Listening to chill out music from The Other Mac's repertoire and taking advice from Raven and Mac does alleviate to some extent. I had to leave much earlier though, cause I was bumming a ride back home. There is no way am I going back on my bike in that condition! Had another bath and pass out. Thing is, there doesnt seem to be any hangover's.
Nor was I feeling thirsty.
Meh.
Gaming on Neverwinter Nights does however keep my focus, and avoid family disgruntles. Yes, From Friday till Sunday I did nothing much except playing Neverwinter Nights.
Second,
I got upset and dissapointed at some of the things that Terence and his significant other had told me a few days back. Though it made me feel embarrass for troubling them, hey, history's history. No point staying there but to move on and hope and pray that it wont happen again. Also the issue has been adrressed and resolved. Now, on to reading Order Of The Stick!
P/S: RWMF coming soon. Me Bailey's is still waiting...
To friends,
Thanks for everything and my sincere apologies for annoyance caused.
To Raven, Terence and Ja,
Thanks for putting me back on the ground again. Glad to know that I can count on you guys to put me in my place.
Love you guys.
I've been staring into Notepad for the past hour.
I cant think of anything.
I'll go for lunch now.
Oh, and have a happy and blessed Gawai. I'm not having open house as I'll be at Terence's kampung (i.e village) for the celebration. Out of Internet and Digi line till Friday. Take care everyone. And be good.
Just finsihed playing the Normal difficultly for Diablo 2: L.O.D.Am going to play the rest of the difficulty levels soon.
Also FINALLY got to upload some old photo's I took some time ago.
Natalie Imbruglia's new album Counting Down The Days is worth getting it. Like she said:
"I think it shows in this album, because the songs are a lot happier"
Good night.
Damn it!

I was happily blogging away with something good to talk about, namely death of a processor, and the re-branding-but-still-sucked service quality of Telekom nnow known as TM and i had to push to power off button on the keyboard.
*mutley grumble mode*
Anyway, other things have come up like the phrases from Diablo 2: LOD NPC (Non Playable Character) Alkor The Alchemist in Act 3: Kurast. I like his phrases.
First things first.
I havent been blogging the past week because I was caught up with the physical world i.e reality. Work being teaching dreamweaver for 4 days, and spending quality time with my girl, Linda while she was here in Kuching.
She went back to her hometown last Sunday. I miss you honey. Last Saturday, we both went with my friends to catch Revenge Of The Sith.
I'm not a big fan of Star Wars, just the everyday sarawakian fan dude person. I did saw episode 4, 5, and 6 when I was young and yes, I can recall some of the scenes in my head, but Star Wars never really got me interested to be a big fan. Anyway's, here's my thought on the movie I can recall back.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the movie much more than the Matrix Revolutions. Which reminds me, I have to get the box set for the extended edition of the LOTR trilogy. I WANT it...
Mac, Raven, and Rin wrote their views about the movie as well.
In other news, 1st local Sarawakian movie, The Legend of The Red Curse is coming out soon. I like the poster at Star Cineplex.
In another news, I am on gaming frenzy. Neverwinter Nights, Diablo 2:LOD, Sacrifice, Mechwarrior 4, Deus EX. And I''m reviving my year old PC case mod project. And I'm thinking of dabbling in web design for a friend.
E.... Cool la.... *i is so teh vely DUH now, no? Yes...*
my counter is registering 1,017 hits... So cool... My sincere thanks to everyone who came here, either by own volition or happened to stumble by. Thanks.
I wonder if my Diablo2:LOD alter ego sythe-wielding druid can do that amount of hits? Nah, unless of course I have a 1000% increase attack speed.
But then, I'm also playing Sacrifice. One of my old favourite's, alongside American McGee's Alice and Homeworld.
Hmmm... She'll be here tonight. Have to remember to clean up my room and my car as well...
Dear visitor's, friends, blog-stalker's, stranger's, (insert kind here)
I am very sorry I haven't been blogging again for the past few days and when I do, it's usually crap.
So, my sincerest apologies to everyone. I hope your intelligence has yet remain untainted.
For some odd reason, I just had lost that spark in me to write my whiny, squeaky ass voice bitching and complaining here. Also, lately blogging to me feels like a chore rather than something i enjoyed to do. Yes, there is something wrong with my conciousness.
I'm still alive, breathing, living, and yes, my Unkymoods still pretty much the same and I still have no idea as to how to tell my parents that my girl's coming to stay with us for a month. And I have 6 more days till she comes here, which means I have about 3 days to come up with a plan to tell them. Why is this even a problem?
Double standard mum.
Playing Diablo 2: Lord Of Destruction again. I hope I will be able to come back to blogging again one day. Who knows? I just might have something good to post tomorrow! I just jinxed it, right?
Bye. -Burst comm terminated
Just had to. Plus, I have to wallow through 11 more agonising (like ohmygawd! in a high-school blonde) days till Rita comes here.
And I have yet to tell my parents about her coming here and staying at my place for a month.
And that my Unkymoods puts me in a... uh... umm... well...
Need shower, BADLY. Considering I smell citrus-sy and sweetly sticky from HER SPEWING DRINKS AT ME FOR NO APPARENT REASON!
