I Am a Weekend Murderer

Over the weekend after serious clubbing in KL, I can say I was too high to drive but there was no designated driver available. Something happened about 100 metres from my house at 4.15am. I ran over a living being with my car. I ran over a rat with my car. I guess I should actually say I killed a rat with my car because I didn’t just run over it. I also killed it. And if I didn’t say that I killed it I would be lying. There were actually two rats, but I only hit and killed one of them. If I had killed both of them I would have already admitted it, obviously. But I didn’t kill both of them. I just killed one of them. (I know, I'm getting annoying)

I’m pretty sure that the rat I killed was in love with the rat I did not kill. I know this because after I ran over and killed the one rat, the other living rat landed close to the dead rat’s body and started crying. I know that the living rat cried because I saw the whole thing in my rear view mirror as I sped away. Even though I was driving faster than normal, faster than I should have been driving, too fast to have seen the two rats in time to stop, I could see everything in my rear view mirror. I suppose the rats could have been siblings, or a mother and child, or maybe even cousins because you never know with rats. But from what I saw in my rear view mirror as I sped away, I’d testify that the rat I ran over and killed with my car was in love with the living rat then crying at its side.

If the rats really were related, if they really were siblings or a mother and child combo, then I would have turned my car around, sped back to the scene and killed the other rat. I would do the living loving rat a favor so that it can be with the dead rat in rat heaven. OR The world just doesn’t need incestuous rats.

Thursday is the day

Thursdays have often been at the top of my list of great days of the week. Thursdays are just, I don’t know, very cool. They’re much better than Mondays, obviously, and often make Fridays seem like just another weekend. Today is not one of those Thursdays. It’s not that I’m in a bad mood, because I’m not, or that it’s raining out there, because it’s not either, Bleady hot! or that I saw a motobike completely smashed with rider underneath it on the way home, which totally freaked my shit out. It’s just, today happens to be the day after Wednesday, the day I got complemented of being youthful by a fellow colleague. Today, a Thursday that had all the potential to be one of The Greats. :)

The 16th day of Chinese New Year

After 8 hours of restless sleep, wake to the voices in your head listing off possible diseases I could claim to have caught while sleeping, all of which would prevent me from my optic mouse at work! Decide that it would sound peculiar to call in Crazy to work and proceed to the toilet where I relieve myself of the two gallons of water I pounded the night before in hopes of drowning the Chap Goh May alcoholic tiger beer. While still dressed in the shirt and pants I wore yesterday but were too tired to take off before I passed out. Exercise my right not to shower, as practicing basic hygiene only makes lives easier. I will look presentable when I want to look presentable, and today just isn’t one of those days. Today is, however, the day my company’s HQ people from Singapore will be here to setup demo for tomorrow.

Arrive an hour late to work singing “Smack My Bitch Up,” because that’s what I was listening to at full volume the entire journey, over and over again. Look straight at my boss as I pass his desk. Ignore some insane string of email that comes in every morning. Instant message are really cool that you should have installed in your computer.

Take a two-hour lunch: one hour for the nasi goreng kampong, 30 min for smoking session (yeap i did not managed to quit) and other 30 mins for a nap on my table. For the rest of the afternoon conduct seemingly academic experiments with bandwidth by seeing how many simultaneous downloads of “My Boo” my CPU can handle. End my experiments when the company’s network administrator spontaneously explodes. After successfully avoiding any work related to your actual job, sneak out for another stick of nicotine and tar.

7:00pm off from work, JAM!!! on LDP I need a sirent so I roll down the windows and scream louder than the roar of your engine. Continue screaming the whole way home taking breaths only at red lights. I should be sufficiently hyperventilating by the time I pass Kelana Jaya. Home at last and I shut the car off and bang my forehead on the steering wheel. Aiming for the horn. What a day!!! life is tough.

That's my day on the 16th day of Chinese New Year

How to Nap while working

Just got back from an appointment in Klang with my boss. After dropping him off went to park my car as usual at the open space car park. It really looks like a dessert out there with scorching heat. The whether is a real killer making me drowsy and sleepy. Hey what the heck a short nap wont hurt since my car now has V-Cool.

As I was exploring the ways of cat-napping, the key to a good nap in the middle of the day at work in my own car is to make sure the car is parked in the shade, preferrably under a tree or a corner, so that you don’t have people walking by the car and gawking at your mangled form on the seat and calling the police because they think you’re a dead body (perfect way to ruin a good nap). Always always have a pillow in your car, thats what i have not only that i even have a bolster. You know lah something for head cushionage and make sure your legs are level with your head, otherwise all the blood will rush to the toes and your ankles will swell like a pregnant dog. Therefore tilt your chair back as low as it can go. Roll down at least one window, else risk asphyxiating yourself on your own farts. Don’t look all innocent, we all fart in our sleep. Hahaha...

Try it.

Who is Chap Goh Meh?

Ah..the 15th and last day of CNY, Chap Goh Meh, which is often regarded as the Chinese Valentine's day, it has got to be the throwing of oranges into the river/lake/sea so that desperate single man can dive in to collect as many rotten mandarin oranges left over during the holidays. It is believed that maidens would attract good husbands if they adhere to this practice but for me it's just the last day where you can collect Ang Pow, bummer! Well, like every other year I had to have dinner at home with my family. This year we are having seafood steamboat, yummy!

Talking about last day of CNY, my neighbour has forgotten to give me ang pow this year or have they ran out of red packets? Maybe i should show my face more often outside my porch tonight. Maybe just maybe they will feel guilty not giving me any. :P Gosh, what am i doing, i'm 28 I should be feeling embarassed to collect ang pow whereas I should be giving out. Better hide my face. :)

Cheers!

Road Rage in Me, Contained.

Cutting in without signal, queue jumping, driving like 60 Km/h on an highway is what I endure driving home from work everyday. Dah lah I get sick and tired of the jam, i've had more than my share of anger and angst lately on the road. i keep finding myself threatening people on the road (internally so far, but you never know what tomorrow might bring) with physical violence? I can feel the birth of road rage in me, I'm turning green "You don't like me when I'm angry". I hear the words, "Come here so that i can kick your ass" go through my head at random people on the average a dozen times over the course of the day on the road. Should i be concerned? the Magic Eight Ball says Yes, but i think it's something that i'll get over eventually, I mean my anger on the road. I'm just wound a little these days, that's all. Maybe i need to rest a little more, think a little less, breathe a little deeper and possibly buy a punching bag. Still, there's something about finding yourself constantly wishing physical pain on your fellow humans that makes each day a bit hard to trudge through. Oh well. Time heals all but the driver with the Red Proton Wira bearing number plate WHN 32** better hope the clock ticks a little faster or i'm gonna beat the crap outta you.

Sun Tzu Ed - The Art of "Work"

Eversince I'm in Wincor Nixdorf I think I have turned into a work FREAK! Everything I do has something about setting targets and numbers in it. I hope that it isn't a bad thing but a good, survival of the fittest thing. I am beginning to understand. "provide that you are willing to see the world which you live and work. Office is an actual and potential combat zone. Everyones working their heads of, time line, dateline and results. Where the stakes are high and struggle is the primary motive being if you want to get paid end of the month. I think my office is where and no one is to be taken lightly(eyes are watching your every move), expect the unexpected and survival depends on unconditional victory. Work then becomes not nearly a metaphor for the conflicts of everyday life, but my state of mind!

Does marriage make people happy, or do happy people get married?

I honestly think people get married for a lot of reasons not just one! Lots of people get married because they're "in love" but what do "love" really mean? I can't understand the complexity of "love". What I think, it is not just a feeling but a strong bond shared between both that is created to sustain love.

Ok now, what most people fail to understand is that the institution of marriage is larger than the desires and wills of a man and women. Marriage is a 2-way transformation among two partners and their community like your Parents, Parents in law, relatives and friends. Marriage creates bonds between all 2 participants, and changes each of them. Even when the bond between the partners seems weak or shredded, those other bonds can provide sustenance and the seeds of healing. Love, the only kind of love worth getting married over, must be unconditional and unemotional. I know, I know, it sounds strange for me to say this. I like passion and it is a fine thing, and I think every marriage should have some (OK, maybe a lot), but it's not what makes a marriage bond. That doesn't mean that you should stay in an abusive situation, but it does mean that you should never bargain anything of yourself for love, and you should never trade love for anything of someone else’s.

What a dilemma!!!...that the thing we crave the most can't be bartered for anything - not even for itself. Unconditional love is not an abstract emotional concept. It is the single greatest risk, and the single greatest joy, that a person can experience. It doesn't say "I don't care what you are"; it is not blind (that's right, gentle reader, unconditional love IS NOT blind). Unconditional love says, "Whatever you have been, whatever you are, and whatever you will become, it will not change my love for you."

So In my conclusion" Marriage do make people happy!"

QUOTE OF THE DAY "Marriage is like a hot bath. Once you get used to it, it's not so hot."

A day not at work

I have never recovered from my fever, I’m still having it. Nevertheless, I'm still able to things like normal people just that I’m still unfit for work :P I don’t want to spread my disease to my fellow colleagues; you know, I’m a very considerate person. I went to the doctor this afternoon and got my temperature checked. This time it was a she doctor, she said I still have high fever and recommended that I do a blood test to check if I have gotten the virus Dengue. I told her to give me another day if I don’t feel well I will definitely go for the test. She told me not to go to work and get some rest and gave me an MC.

Went for lunch at Kim Gary and as usual the place is jammed packed and we had to wait for our turn. Bumped into my brother and of cause he is never alone with this new chick of his. After lunch went home to rest.

Breaking the Habit

Dear Thelma,

I am 28 years old and I’m a smoker. I don’t want to die young. Some of my friends are telling me "Quitting smoking is easy! I've done it hundreds of times!" What a joker. Non smokers would say you stink; your face got wrinkle, your teeth and finger yellow coror. How do I break the smoking habit which I started myself! It's not easy quitting, but it must be done. Smoking WILL kill you! It's just a matter of time. Will it kill you young? Or will it kill you old? That is the only uncertainty. So I’m probably beginning to wonder how I will quit. I have said this to myself. Self - you’re definitely going to die from these cigarettes. Do I want to live or die? That was it…… I’m planning to stop! There are love ones that I don’t want to disappoint.

Valentine

It was a last minute decision to make reservation on the big day itself. Was thinking of just walking into a restaurant full of dinners and demand us a table for two but it will be an embarrassing scene if they were to turn us down and shoo us away. Well you know, with a British accent “I’m sorry sir, but the restaurant is full and tonight’s occasion is by reservation only.” and at the same time showing you the door. With that thought in mind I quickly weep out my trusty Notebook, browse the web and started calling all the restaurants in town of cause within my budget. All the ones which we have not dine in before was all fully booked for the night. Without giving up and in the end I managed to get an exclusive Japanese Restaurant in Bandar Utama and TGIF reservation done up. The decision as to where we should dine is in the mind of my partner. With one sms confirmation TGIF it is!

Yes it’s a GIMMICK! Food sucks as compared to the normal days. As usual they came up with the Valentines special 2 types of main course with 2 sides and a dessert for you to choose from. In order words order what is on there or don’t eat at all! Food came in a jiffy as they don’t have much to prepare not to mention the bill came fast too. How fast? Finished the dessert, wipe my mouth, stood up went to the toilet came back in 1 min, BAM! It’s there….starring at me. I don’t remember the service being THAT good before. When I was there the last time I remember raising my hands doing that signing bill gesture, I miss that now. Somehow we felt that weren’t welcome, evil eyes starring waiting for you to make the move so that they can clean the table for the next victims of Valentines.

Overall, I managed to spend my night with my lovely partner.

A trip to the Doctor.

Chinese New Year of 2005 I went on an eating rampage! Stuffing my mouth whatever i came across. In the end of the day, high fever and a very beat up throat. Went to the doctor yesterday and my intention was to get an MC for tomorrow. It was a normal routine if you feel sick you need rest, ok you tell me if i over did it? I wore my favorite Nike jacket and my cargo pants looking like hell with messy hair do, I havn't brushed my teeth or took any shower at all the whole day. All in all, i look like a wraped up steam herbal chicken that people served in the restaurant. Anyway the doctor said i have a temperature of 40C, he said that i had to be admitted and recommended me to take a jab. So i asked where at, he pointed at my buttock with a grin. uh ho. Then the killer part, he said I may have Dengue fever and that!... really made me fell off my chair. Enough is enough i told the doctor I feel normal, then he said I have a high tolerance that's why i dont feel my body's burning. I said no jab just give me what ever you've got. Phew!.. end of the day i end up paying RM50 for the scare and some shitty medication and not forgetting the well deserved MC.

My first step towards Bloghood

Today, I was inspired to write a blog because it seems like the thing to do. In this date and age everything is being recorded anyways might as well put my input into the concoction. I don't really have too much to write about, but I believe that my life is good enough to be a movie so it is damn well enough to be written on a blog. My goals for my blog are to have a day to day journal of my life. Plus also adding my writings, lifestyle and love all rolled up here too. I believe I have much to offer. I forewarn anyone who reads this I have bad grammar and spelling. So beware and be very scared. I hope by doing this log it will improve my overall language skill.I live in Selangor, Subang Jaya. That is in Malaysia. I've lived here most of my life and know this city inside and out. It isn't a huge city compared to the rest of the world, but it isn’t' some hip town either. I am a Male of assorted surprises in me. I am man that just began to cocoon, maybe just maybe turned into a polite and curious chap. Don’t' take me as a pushover, I can be very persuasive but my friends calls me a “nagger”. hahah .I am currently looking for a higher state of consciousness, and constantly educate myself with knowledge of life. I've had ups I have had downs but it’s all part of life.
