9月26日 Newly completedJust about one and half years ago, I was attached to a consulting firm in KL assisting in the design of a condominium in Bangsar. What is now known as One Menerung, sits strategically behind Bangsar Shopping Complex and probably has one of the most expensive addresses in town. If you've a few million ringgit to spare, perhaps you would wanna own a unit here.
    A quick browse on property websites feedbacks me with this numbers:
RM1,100 psf
Asking price: RM3,600,000
3200sf (3+1 bedrooms): RM14,000 pmth
4300sf (4+1 bedrooms): RM16,000 pmth 5200sf (4+1 bedrooms): RM20,000 pmth 6000sf/ onwards (5+1 bedrooms): RM25,000 pmth WTH! That's like a manager's monthly pay!

7月29日 Wide awake on the "”busiest” day of the week..Just as I was hoping to head home and hit the sack after a tiring day, I found myself suddenly wide awake at 220am. I was planning to wake up at 7am later for a morning jog to re-energize my brain, but THIS brain has been wide awake till now. I ‘picture’ the numbers on the clock flying by….as if I was “Alice in Wonderland”…Another moment, I find myself pondering about work, thinking about how to design a pre-stressed circular water tank. As my thoughts just start to get deeper, then it “swaps” again thinking about my current job status…to my current financial status….to my future plans….to what I’ve completed thus far…about whether I’m on the right track….whether I’m adopting the right attitude…. *Fuuhhhh* Shouldn’t I be thinking about NOTHING and heading to bed? Looking on the positive side, its good that I actually ponder about these things….But right now… I need to get good rest. My skin condition needs to improve…
6月14日 Big Jiao Jiao, Chao Chi Bai and others...Upon spotting a Nissan Fairlady 350Z at Nikko Hotel
Me: Wah, nice car! Valet parking summore..
Bro: Ala, not as nice as my Big Jiao Jiao..
Me: HA? What Big Jiao Jiao??
Bro: My car plate starts with BJJ ma....Big Jiao Jiao lo...Jie also got one Big Jiao Jiao...
Me: What the crapp....-_-"
So, the topic about cars and their Jiao Jiao-s started. It only got better when my dad joined in. "Those cars with WLK also... wan lok kao (play with dick)"
How much more creative can we Malaysians get? By just observing car number plates, we can randomly just figure something vulgar out. To add on to the list of car plates that shouldn't be bought, here's some guidelines:-
CCB - Chao Chi Bai (smelly pussy)
CBK - Chi Bai Kia (pussy fella)
KNN - Kan Ni Nia (someone help me interpret this please?)
KNS - Ka Na Sai
WTF - What the Fuck?
WTH - What the Heck?
WTT - What the Tooottt? ("Toot" = the censor sound)
CFF - College Fuck Fest
TN - Tiu Nei (Fuck you)
WLK - Wan Lok Kao (Play with dick)
BJJ - Big/Black Jiao Jiao
BBS - Big BoobS
Feel free to add on the list if you have any more 'random' ideas..Ahahahah! The beauty of Malaysian number plates. There's no place like home.. =) 5月4日 One step at a time...."See things differently this year. Life favours those who see things differently"
I am a big fan of this quote taken off Carlsberg. We might be blinded at times by the norms of how certain things should be done, and tend to follow in others' way of doing things. Something we call 'Pak Turut', as I recall of my PMR days. In doing so, we sometimes wonder and doubt if we're heading in the right direction. So the next time that you actually do something, perhaps think of the quote above (not the drink). Who knows seeing things differently may work wonders for you?
As my time in university ticks by, I could only continue to feel like I just stepped in here a year ago. I think its about time for me to get out of this place, otherwise my sister will have trouble telling her friends.
Sis's friends: Eh, where's your younger brother now?
Sis : Still in uni la.
Sis's friends: So long already wei! The last time I asked you, you said still in uni....Now, he's STILL in uni?
(HELLOooo?! Engineering takes 4 years la...plus I did 1 year of foundation. That makes 5 years la! How old do you think I am this year? 26 meh?! LOL)
Anyway, thank you for your concerns (my sis & bro's friends) Glad to say, I'm finishing...FINALLY!! ahhahahah!
 [I'll be standing there with my mortar board soon! *cross fingers*]
[Batch dinner at David's Diner, Greentown. Awesome] As the next stage of life draws closer, I could only hold myself together and hope for the best. Work hard enough, live a balanced, healthy and enjoyable life. Challenges after challenges will haved to be faced. All these....one step at a time..... 4月14日 The bars have been raised..The results of the Schlumberger interview (stage 1) just came out...Unfortunately, I didnt make it through...Oh well, i guess i the bars have been raised. Competition is getting tougher, and it only shows that its time for me to pick up the pace and stop slacking. Despite some dissatisfaction and upset, let's just all move on..coz tomorrow is a different day. Life still goes on right? Maybe it's not the right time now....or maybe you'll do better in other fields. So, for my friends who made it through the next round, goodluck for the next stage! For those who missed out, don't be discourage, Who knows your luck is coming soon! Have faith....and have hope! One thing for sure..UTP grads are a bunch a talented people...
 3月22日 Wanna ride?2月20日 Boss...as long you don't fire me...This is a story of a lorry driver and his boss. The lorry driver has been working for his boss's logistic company for many years, but because times are bad during this recession period, the boss is facing difficulties trying to sustain the company from collapsing. Realizing this, the lorry driver, fearing losing his job, decides to confront his boss.
Driver: Boss, I know times are bad nowadays, and I can see that business isn't doing so well. Normally, most of the lorries will be out sending orders. But I can see that most of the lorries are parked at the company recently.
Boss: Yea, you're right.
Driver: Since business isn't doing so good, you don't need to give me bonus...Boss..as long you don't fire me...I would be very very grateful. I will still continue to work hard.
Boss: You know, among all my staffs, you're the one that understands my difficulty being a boss. Because of that, I will only give you the bonus, not the rest. 1月7日 When I think of something newInstead of counting the seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years i've lived..and (probably) regretting what I haven't done thus far...perhaps another way to look at is...I've another 60 years+- left in my life to achieve what I want. Probably, the best way to do this is a quick check list:-
These are pretty much what I can squeeze out from my brain. And the list goes on ....when I think of something new. 12月27日 My journey of a thousand miles begins with.....a trip to Penang, followed by Kedah,Perlis, Langkawi, Kuantan, Segamat, Batu Pahat, Kukup, Melaka...and finally back to KL. Over a period of 10 days, we covered approximately 2600km! Amazing!
The only states we left out was Kelantan and Terengganu. If not for the monsoon season, we would have covered both states as well...
After this trip, may I say, there are plenty of places to visit in Malaysia... In fact, too many that we had to cut short our stops at each states..
Apart from the new sightings, experiences, delicacies and lessons learnt from this trip...I would like to think that the time spent with friends was the most precious of all. 10 days and nights.. I guess we grew closer in ties, as well as understood more of each others' character.
Won't elaborate so much in details about the trip. I'll let the pictures do the talking when i get hold of them. Meanwhile, stay tuned!
Take care and stay well my friends! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2009! 11月14日 The aftermath after 2The aftermath after 2....tells about the events that followed after the author sat for 2 exam papers in the last 2 days.
It all began on the 12th of November, when the midnight oil was burnt till 2am in the morning, followed by 5 hours of sleep. Heavy-heartedly, the author dragged himself out of the bed and tried all means to keep the lids open..
Advanced Construction Material, code named ACM was the first paper mainly about the 'advancement' of geotechnical, concrete and highway materials..Entirely memory dumping. At this very moment, there was a slight sense of relief on the brain juices.
The night of 12th November, another round of burning midnight oil and probably shortening life by 1 or 2 years...
The author group studied with others like Kareen, San Yin and Jack....the last resort for attempting to stay awake and absorbing as much formulas as possible. All this suffering solely for the killer paper, Structural Dynamics. As if static forces weren't already difficult, the dynamics part of it only added more woes and boos from us students. Mind you, this is somehow the subject hated most by the students. For whatever reasons that may be, we didn't have a choice.
While attempting the paper...pressure started building up by the minute. The paper was easily 10 times harder than the previous semester. Why did it had to be this tough??? The author couldn't relate the values given in the question, worst of all, the questions weren't straight forward. Calculation questions accounted approximately 50% of the overall weightage...The feeling was like someone suffering from E.D. the moment the paper ended. Screw it...literally everyone had the "E.D. look" after the paper....*praying hard that can pass the paper*
With another 3 papers to go, 12 days and counting...While the author's friend Karen would be back on the 26th, the author himself has another round of fighting after that...this time..real fighting...
*Rocky song playing*
hahahhaa...sorry guys/girls for the lame-ness..=P Don't know what to type.... 9月17日 All in the spirit of U.N.I.T.YVery often we see, hear, read and witness events that might just be a catalyst for racial clashes. It is quite contradicting because all these while, Malaysia has been given credentials for being an 'integrated multi-racial' country and she has been looked up to by many similar countries.
Perhaps, many people would have the same question pondering in your minds, " Why have these racial issues start springing up again?"
What happened to the days when we could just walk to any Malaysian to ask for directions? Or simply just wish them 'Good Day!' in every other language? Don't we all just miss mingling in these warm and friendly environment? I surely do miss those times, and I'm cherishing every opportunity there is while it lasts.
Yes, perhaps some of us might have been agitated by hideous remarks (that could have been avoided with due thoughts) made by irresponsible people. Not denying the fact that it has been an ever sensitive issue in Malaysia. It has been a hidden 'torn beneath the skin'. So, the damage has been done. Not this once, but ever since God-knows-when. My concern is....why continue to feel the pinch? Wouldn't life be a lot more happier if we just choose to forgive and forget? You know, the 3 things in life that are most valuable to a person are Love, Friends, Self confidence...while the 3 things in life that could destroy a person are Pride, Greed, and Anger (quoted from an email)
We are 51 years an independent country...45 years since the formation of Malaysia..and almost 40 years after the incident of 1969.. The good things of the past should be a kept as a memory...while the bad things, should be taken as lessons to learn, or simply to forget (if it brings back bad memories). I'm sure we always tell ourselves ' Let's forget about the bad memories. Let's move on. Life doesn't just end there' ...or.... 'Sudahlah, yang pahit biar berlalu..' How about practising what we have always preached?
 My life only started in the 1980s. Perhaps I won't know how it felt living in the earlier days when time wasn't as good. I sure did experience some bitter things that had occurred so far. The Asian Financial Crisis, El Nino, drought, water crisis, petrol hike,etc...But somehow I just prefer to smile about far nicer things like the Malaysian badminton team winning the 1991 Thomas Cup, Proton launching a string of new cars ( I LOVE CARS!), Perodua being the 2nd automotive producer in the country, Nicol David being the World No.1 women squash player (and we're proud to call her Malaysian), Shalin and Zulmazran Zulkifli blazing the alleys, Lee Chong Wei winning the silver medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, R. Puvaneswaran karate-ing his way to consecutive gold medals in the Sea Games, and Watson Nyambek running his heart out during the 100m sprint in the 1998 Commonwealth Games. And....how about the nasi lemak, roti canai, char kuey teow , rojak, cendol, durian, satay, capati, nasi kandar, dodol, ayam percik, chee cheong fun, yong tau foo, curry mee, prawn mee, tom yam (Malaysian version), etc ??? You know what, I've never been so proud to say..." Hey, these IS Malaysia.." Where else can you find these form of diversity....simply priceless...
All these written above....are all in the spirit of U.N.I.T.Y
Let's build Malaysia towards a better tomorrow... Cheers to all Malaysians!
 8月3日 GastronomyGastronomy..... The art and science of choosing , preparing and eating good food.....
Man, how I wish I was a "GASTRONOMER"....is there such a job up for grabs? I would offer myself volunteerily!
Really interesting.Came across this term while reading an article on TheStar website. They did mentioned of a restaurant in Spain that overlooks a bay, called El Bulli. Apparently, it has been voted the World's Best Restaurant by chefs and patrons for 4 consecutive years! I wonder what it takes to be the World's Best Restaurant! It's simply exhilirating just talking about it... They receive up to 1 million bookings in a year..but since they are open from April to September only (if im not mistaken), they can only afford to accomodate 8000 of them. Someday, I'm gonna pay that place a visit.......someday.... 7月1日 Just when I thought I could finish early...Just when i thought i could finish my internship early, and avoid the need to pay for season pass..and pay at least RM10 on petrol daily.....and pay for tolls...and pay for lunch........
My engineer said "Heard you wanted to end your internship early because nothing to do?wait!! i got a lot of things that need you to do!"
Darn...back to square one...no difference in schedule.. Holiday short lifted...anyway..luckily got someone teman me till then..and also a whole lot of other ppl who are supposed to finished by then...
Good for those who have finished theirs.....Hope you're enjoying yourselves as much as you can! Don't forget the pictures from Italy, Germany, Europe, London, etc....we're waiting for it!
Meanwhile, I've got less than 2 weeks to complete my modeling using software....
For the next 2 weeks, I'm anticipating a lot of free treats..(I hope!!)
To one of my best friends that just flew to Aussie this morning, Have a nice time there Qian Ee!
And my other friends overseas...hope you're all doing good...Haven't talked to you all for ages...Faster come back! 6月22日 "TEMPORARY" solution..my foot!This post is going to be another one on relationships....Perhaps you maybe wondering "What's wrong with Jackie?" or...." Is Jackie okay?". So let me clarify this from the beginning. I'm perfectly fine friends..=) Thank you for your concerns though. I'm only posting this because I just had a thought that crossed my mind and I think its worth passing the thought through....and perhaps you all can give a thought about it..(Gosh..so many words.."thought", 'through", "think", "though".....bla bla bla...)
 If you've been an avid reader of the Sunday Star, perhaps you might have stumbled upon a section called "Dear Thelma". Read the contents of it before? Notice any similiarities about the articles weekly (almost weekly)? YESS!! NO??? Okay, whatever it is...I'm going to tell you what it is basically about.
"I'm an executive in a company, and sometimes I'm required to stay back late to complete my work. Recently, I got to know a colleague and we started to talk. Somehow, after few encounters, we noticed that we shared many things in common, and soon...we were seeing each other. The problem is, he has a wife and 2 kids. He told me that he's not happy despite being married for 10 years.. but he's not willing to let go of his family. I love him so much, but how can I be sure he'll still be true to me? Please advice."
So on....so forth..you get the picture...
Men out there who does this kind of stuff...you are FAGGOTS for doing this! Think will you!!???Women alike!! No exception
If you're facing a problem, whether its work-related, familly, stress-related.....and someone comes along, and happens to offer some "TEMPORARY" solution to your problems, you jump at it??? You my as well jump down the Twin Towers because anyhow, having the brains in your head....is NO different than having the brain in you A$$ ok! Did you ever think what are the consequences of doing so? Men first:-
Women next:-
My point here is, in life, we'll be subjected to these sort of "temporary" solutions whenever we face troubles. The TRUTH is...it is only TEMPORARY! We tend to look for things to resolve our issues, worries, and stress. And sometimes, we can't differentiate what is right and wrong. This can be gambling, having extra-marrital affair, bao yi lai, abuse, beating, sex, drugs,alcohol,etc. Notice that these are the wrong things that I'm listing here. Bringing out this issue actually stimulated some thoughts....People say that after talking things out, we'll feel better and thus, able to think more rationally. I find it true to a certain extend. People who gamble,'gamble' their worries away..(but never thought of the consequences of overdoing it), People who take drugs/alcohol let the chemistry work its harmful wonders on our body/mind/soul...People who resolve to sex allow lust to take over the mind....People who have extra-marrital affair see's the new person as a good listener, and able to calm him/her down.....People who resort to physical abuse think that they can 'beat' their stress away......
So, I was just thinking....maybe all we need is just someone to understand and straighten your messy mind up again? This someone should be a person whom you trust, and not betray your trust. Someone who's truthfully there to help you, not cause additional problems to you. Its just having someone to fall back on that gives your assurance..It maybe your dad, mum, brothers and sisters....your best friend....your boss....your relatives....your religion? sports?
In a nutshell, all I'm trying to say here is that...there's so many USEFUL ways to rid of stress/unhappiness..and there's no need to do stupid stuffs k?You just need to think a little further and smarter so that you don't land yourself in hot soup eventually....I know this post is quite controversial. with a lot of unanswered questions/doubts...but I'm sure I clarified some...
I'm glad that I have people to turn to when I'm down..and for that...I would really like to thank you... Now, I hope that you(whoever) find a right solution for yourself. 6月15日 New Seafood Restaurant in IPOH! JOM MAKAN!Apart from seafood, the restaurant also serves dim sum from 6am to 2pm daily. Cheung Ching Seafood Restaurant is located at 43 Jalan Hussein, Ipoh.
what are we waiting for? time to dig in!! http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2008/6/15/sundaymetro/21425728&sec=SundayMetro 6月4日 "HERE IN MY HOME"- July 2004Hi Friends of July 04 UTP Batch, It's me, Teik Hui. Please read on. Friends, we have almost come to the end of our journey in UTP. Starting next semester, we will embark on our final year (for those taking IT/IS, it will be their final sem!). Do you feel like we've missed out something? Where were the days of July 04 and our much beloved foundation years? Honestly, I long for the nostalgic days to come back - when we first knew each other, and we fooled and joked, we laughed and shared stories. And most importantly, we DID IT ALL TOGETHER AS A GROUP OF FRIENDS. Over the years, we somehow got segregated and our band of brothers and sisters were broken into smaller groups. Days where we lepak together were too far and few in between in the recent years as we were all so busy with our own things (UTP is to be blamed somehow). So Friends, if you feel like what I feel, It's time to UNITE. Please respond to what I intend to initiate. Let's take some time early in the next semester to do a video production to commemorate us as the UTP July 04 bunch of exciting comrades. I recently got inspired by the production of Malaysian Artistes For Unity (MAFU) which is made to promote unity among Malaysians. That video got me into thinking about all of US - through thick and thin we've arrived to where we are now. So let's embrace the theme of UNITY, and do one for ourselves. Below is what I have in mind: 1) We will sing 'Here In My Home' in acappella + choir style 2) It will be shot in a video mode at a location that will be confirmed later 3) We will wear our own designed T-shirt (with the theme unity) during the video shooting The planning: 1) Reply this email ASAP so that I know if you guys are interested (I mean genuinely interested and must be fully passionate and be committed to it). Just reply yes or no. That will do. 2) Since this is a video shooting plus vocal and choir style, practice is required. But please don't be put off and start thinking you have FYP to do next sem, OK? for once..OK? We will make practice minimal by keeping it simple and sweet. Just spend some, off and on to practise for the singing and choreographing. 3) We will form a team for the production. They are as follow; - I will assume the role of the production coordinator (if you guys let me) - Choiring and Choreographing team - T-shirt designing team - Location team 4) If everyone is in, we can set up the team after we get everyone's reply. After which, we can start the actual preparation, especially the for T-shirt designing, and the choiring and choreographing team. Then perhaps we start a new temporary blog for easy updates and discussion. 5) For the rest who is not in any of the team, just lend your angelic voice, come for the practice, lend your support if asked, and join in the FUN. Doesn't matter if you sound bad or good. We are not auditioning for singing competition. We are doing this for ourselves. So let's do together gether..Ok? 6) If you are in, please go and watch the video, get some inspiration and engrave the lyrics to your heart (including the rap in BM, chinese, tamil and English!). Here's the link if you don't already know ---> http://www.malaysianartistesforunity.info 7) If this is a go, we shall start preparing now, and the practice will be expected to start in the first week onwards when we get back to UTP, and hopefully by the mid of August we can finish the video shooting before we get busy busy busy. Okay this is so far the detail I wish enclose. Once again, I really hope we can do this. There's no hidden agenda. This is a non-profitable production. This is purely, exclusively for our circle of friends of July 04 batch. One day we can all look back and I'm very sure you'll be super duper glad that you've done this. Alright, you guys decide now. YES or NO. I'll be waiting. If YES please indicate which team you want to be in or you just want to sing. 6月1日 A Weekend of "Balls & Bruises"I was up to Bukit Tinggi on Saturday...Wasn't going to the French Village, instead I went Paintballing with my colleagues!! Going to shoot the stress away....hehehe...I didn't bring a camera, so will need to wait for the pictures from my colleague....Its hard to explain how the game went, therefore...you should try it out for yourselves!! But do be physically prepared to get bruises, shot in the groin, armpits, thighs, neck, buttocks, hands.....Also, there are high chances of getting extra "nipples". Finishing the game left me with a lesson to learn....never underestimate girls......I GOT A FREAKING HEADSHOT! Worst of all, the paintball flew out from the gun barrel, through a 2 inch gap, and through a hole 2-inch wide hole......how accurate is that!!!
Nevermind the pain, at least it was worth the money paid.....hahahah!!! <---- I'M CRAZY!! 5月25日 Darting..a whole new perspectiveSomeone made me recall about an incident that happened during my childhood days...hehe..
I guess i was around 6 years old, as far as i remembered. And as usual, being a boy (trying to be adventurous), the usual evenings will be spent playing football at the nearby playground, smacking shuttlecocks with my elder brother in the car porch, or perhaps even playing "Getah" with my sister and neighbours...YES I KNOW HOW TO PLAY GETAH K!! don't mess with me..
 Except for one evening, we were bored of the usual activities...and we came across a dart board and darts in the store room. What more?!? Play la!
The dart board was pretty big for us to handle then, and there wasnt a nail in the wall where we could hang it up. Even if we did, we would have to bear the responsibility of making holes in the wall...coz we already 'succeeded' in making a few already.....sSShhhh!! So, we leaned the dart board against some plastic chair at the backyard....but after few throws, the board kept falling. "Fed up ah!! Jackie, go hold the dart board...after one round, my turn to hold,"...that's what my brother instructed me to do...."Kor, careful ah! later kena me, i'm telling mum!".... For those few throws, we were quite accurate AT LEAST..but soon boredom took a toll...
We weren't feeling very contented for not being able to 'throw it out'...so my bro suggested we went to the usual football field...There, we spaced ourselves about 20 metres apart, threw the dart with full strength in a projectile motion..."Eh, kor....where's the dart you throw??" i asked..."I throw towards your direction wat," my bro replied........That was when i glanced around and found it in my left Foot!!! **TOOOTTT***!!!
Blood was oozing terribly from my foot, but i still managed (somehow) to run back home with dart in my foot....Couldn't feel a thing, except for the sensation of something sticking out...Mum came, got a shock....and i was brought to the nearby clinic for Tetanus jab(i think) in the butt......
Kids, don't try this at home......and don't even bother touching the dart! |
