michael joseph jackson...

He may be known as Wacko Jacko for the last decade of his life but without a single doubt he will always be the most gifted entertainer in the world.

Yesterday was a sad day when Michael Joseph Jackson died at the age of 50. A news not many could even believe till it caused a cyberspace traffic jam with record hits on Google, Facebook, Twitter & Yahoo.

It hit the whole world hard with billions mourning his loss. I always joked about his weird lifestyle but when it comes down to it, you can never find anyone as talented as he was. He is and will always be the 'King of Pop'. My only regret is not going for his concert in 1993 and seeing him perform live. :(

Thank you Michael for years of wonderful and inspirational music. May you finally rest in peace.

congrats barca...

We lost. Rightfully so as well. The better team definately won. Barcelona ran riot over the Red Devils. Its sad but am not ashamed to admit it. We didn't deserve to win at all.

Congratulations Barcelona, UEFA Champions for 2009.

To all Red Devil supporters, don't fret as we will be back next year!

Glory glory Man United!

battle of the champions!

Its finally on boys! In exactly 13 hours one of the biggest games of this season (and potentially in a long while) will begin. It is non other than the UEFA Champions League Final 2009 in Rome between Barcelona and Manchester United.

Literally 2 of the biggest football teams in the world head to head for the ultimate bragging rights. Who is gonna win? Definately its the Red Devils for me but truthfully it can go either way. Both teams have been top notch this season and have a plethora of stars to choose from. Furthermore they are playing for the top prize and not just any ordinary game.

Will it be Park, Rooney and Ronaldo or Xavi, Eto and Messi? Only time will tell. One thing for sure its going to be one cracker of a match. :D

Glory glory Man United!

number 18...

Woo Hoo! The Red Devils are officially British Premier League's 08/09 Champions. All you playa haters out there can just suck it. There ain't nothing you can say now. Dear Benitez please don't be such a sour puss. Better luck next time I guess. ;)

Now we are at number 18, another season and Liverpool can shut their traps for good. Am sure it will be one hellave season next year. Can't wait to see how hot the transfer market is gonna be. Hope Tevez remains a Red Devil but things aren't looking that good. :(

Anyways kudos to the boys for a wonderful season. Hold the celebrations though as we have one more cup to lift to cap off an historical season. Come 27th May 2009 the Red Devils are gonna bring it to Rome. Think its going to be a smashing game. :D

Glory glory Man United!

happy moms day...

Wishing my wonderful Amma a Happy Mother's Day.

To more wonderful years ahead! :D

slow death...

OMG. Its freaking 2nd week of May 2009 already. Damn y'all. My blog is dying a slow and agonising death. :(

Don't worry. I will prevail. Once my new project is outta shit I'll be back to blogging shit. LOL. :D

devils whoop some arse!

Did you guys catch the game earlier? Don't cha think that is what CHAMPIONS are made of? Muahahahaha. The boys tore the Gunners a new one in their home turf.

What an amazing display of football! In barely 20 minutes we were into the finals of the UEFA Champions League. The poor young'uns were shell shocked and drained of any spirit they had going into the 2nd leg.


If only the Red Devils can play like this till the season is over. That would definately guarentee a historical season with the prized quadruple of trophies. Only downside was poor Fletcher getting booked unfairly. After all his hard work this season hes gonna miss the best game of his life. :(

Who will you be rooting for tommorrow? Am hoping Barca will kick some Blues butt. Least then we can look forward for a true Champions League final in Rome come 27th May 2009. The battle between Ronaldo and Messi. ;)

Glory glory Man United!

time flies...

Wow time sure flies! Its been one whole month since I last blogged. Damn. The new project has really eaten up my time. Don't even read blogs as much. Oh well its our bread and butter right.

Lemme see if I can give a summary of what has happened. The new account is still chugging along. Ever so slowly but least in an upward trend. ;)

Went to 2 wedding dinners. My primary skool mate Vincent got married yesterday while my ex colleague Vixstarr had his last week in Penang. Sunshine and I made an overnight road trip. Hella tired I tell ya but I promised Vick ages ago that I wouldn't miss it.

Other than that nothing much really. My remote control car is collecting dust. So is my PSP and NDS. Just don't have the time. Whatever free time I have is spent with Sunshine, Astro Max or sleeping. LOL. Never appreciated sleeping so much before.

Now I am in the works of sending Kate in for Stage 3. Just did an oil change and was planning it with my tuner. Most probably mid March I'll drop her in. Gonna take about 5 days or so. Expecting around 30% gain. So am really looking forward to that. :D

Alrighty then. Time to leave the damn office. Got called in last minute to do some research over poor performance. Arrgghh. Really can't wait for this account to settle down. Need a LOOOOONG break I tell ya.

Cheerio folks!

kong hei kong hei...

Wishing all Chinese folks

Kong Hei Fatt Choy!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Best wishes for a prosperious year ahead...

work work work...

Work work work. That is all I am involved in right now. Practically 12 to 15 hours daily am in the office fighting fires, calming oceans or just running around like a headless chicken. LOL. Sounds funny I know but not a life I would like to lead in the long term. Poor blog is getting neglected as well. :(

Sigh. Good news is we are finally live. No more transitional crap. Now just to focus on making the team meet their performance requirements. Its gonna be a steep hill to climb but as always we will prevail and get there.

Yaaawn. Damn feel so sleepy nowadays. Body is shouting for more shuteye. Just gotta down the Nescafes and move along. Guess before you know it things will be calm again. One thing to look forward to is when that time comes am gonna apply for a nice looooooooooong leave. :D

reflection on 2008...

Time sure flies doesn't it. Its already mid January of 2009. Had some spare time and was going through my resolutions for 2008 and realised I met most of them.

1. Lose weight (85kgs is too much, gotta knock of at least 5kgs!).
- Didn't really lose much but as of now I am 84kgs. LOL. So least 1kg right? Lowest I manage to drop to was 83kgs before I piled it back on during Deepavali. :(

2. Buy a house (I freakin' better get a house this year!).
- Another year goes by and I have yet to find a house. There were 2 ideal ones but only found out it was for sale after it was sold! Sigh.

3. Progress in my career (looking for more challenges & money of course).
- This part has really come true. Am now in charge of 2 major accounts and have gotten a decent increment to boot. :D

4. Work on Kate (am thinking of going turbo).
- Finally plopped a BOT on Kate. Am sure you guys have read about it here.

5. Go overseas with Sunshine (maybe Bali or Gold Coast).
- Didn't get to go overseas but least managed a few holidays. Guess at the way time is flying more than happy to even get a holiday in! :D

Thats like 3.5 outta 5. Not bad I must say. For this year I don't think I am gonna bother about resolutions. Time just doesn't permit it. Should just be happy in living life and progressing. No matter how slow that may be. ;)

jokes to lighten the mood...

Been working my ass off last couple of months and got this email. Really cracked me up. Amazing what kids can come up with. Enjoy...

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

(1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. - Alan, age 10
(2) No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marryGod decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.- Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

(1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.- Camille, age 10
(2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. - Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

(1) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. - Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

(1) Both don't want any more kids.- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

(1) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)
(2) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.- Martin, age 10 (Who said boys do not have brains)

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

(1) I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns. -Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

(1) When they're rich.- Pam, age 7 (I could not have said it better myself)
(2) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.- Curt, age 7 (Good Point)
(3) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.- Howard, age 8 (Who made that rule?)

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

(1) I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out. - Theodore, age 8 (Too much detail for his age)
(2) It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. - Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

(1) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favourite is........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

(1) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck. - Ricky, age 10 ( The boy already understands)

its 2009!

Happy New Year folks!

Hope you guys are having a great time. I'm stuck at work but hey that doesn't stop you guys right?! LOL. Be responsible and most importantly be safe. :D

ho ho ho...

Ho Ho Ho. Merry Christmas folks!

pssst, hes back...

Guess what? It does seem kinda early but my favourite fast food burger is back in town! :D

Yup its the almighty Prosperity Burger. This time they've come up with a double variety to boot. *droools*

Gonna get me some this weekend! ;)

uncle cheng special beef at section 17, pj...

Another ancient post. Should have posted this about 6 months ago. Uncle Cheng's Special Beef Noodle does not really need an introduction. Many floggers have already written about this place and a simple Google search will yield dozens of reviews.

Many people might struggle to find this place as its located deep within Section 17, PJ. Although with the popularity of 6 to 10 Grill & Nasi Lemak, My Elephant and Food Foundary am sure you'll find ya way somehow. ;)

Everything sold by Julian (son of the original Uncle Cheng) are beef related. You have beef noodles (dry or soup), beef tenderloin (in broth), mixed beef (tripe, meatballs, beef slices in broth), dry beef slices and even bone marrow soup. The latter of the 2 are rather special so they aren't available daily and runs out real fast if they do! :(

Unfortunately I have only tried their beef noodles (both dry and soup) and boy are they yummy! The meat slices are juicy and tender while the beef ball is nice and springy. I remember trying beef noodles in Seremban where the sauce was over powering but Uncle Cheng's is just nice. Doesn't give you that jelak feeling. I also like the sprinkle of preserved cabbage and peanuts. Gives a nice crunch and break of taste from the beefy contents.

However if you like something soupy you can always go for the beef soup. The broth used is full of flavor and smells heavenly. Even the dry variety gets a bowl of it and without fail it will be slurped till the last drop! :D

This is the best place to get my fix of beef noodles. Always consistent and Julian is a very friendly chap. More than willing to chit chat. Give this place a try if you are in the vicinity. You won't walk away disappointed.

Uncle Cheng's Special Beef Noodle, Khasiat Cafeteria, Sec 17/12, PJ.

bumblebee...

This was supposed to be posted on the 19th of May 2008. Its a gift my old man bought for my lovely nuisance of of a niece. I actually wanted to take before and after pics but sadly I still haven't figured out how to transform the blady thing.


At the end I just gave up and kept it in my display cabinet. LOL. Go figure!

micro buggy...

As you know I bought an rc truggy recently. While researching on what to invest in, I came across micro buggies. They were from Takara Tomy under their Q-Steer series, which are micro rc vehicles. Its actually a collaboration effort between Tamiya and Takara Tomy to create micro scaled replicas of Tamiya's infamous offroad buggies. It comes with proper suspension and a slightly more powerful motor.

The moment I saw it I had to get my hands on one. I read online that they were rather hard to come by in Malaysia as they came in limited supply but that didn't deter me. Today I headed out to 1Utama to check out Toys R Us. Sadly none there. Then I went straight into Jaya Jusco's toy section and lo and behold, there was ONE box left! :D

It wasn't really the model I wanted but hey beggars can't be choosers right?! So now I am a proud owner of The Frog micro buggy (RM59.90). Damn this baby can run and its fun to ride em' all over the room. The added suspension helps as it can run on my bed or keyboard without issues. Hehe. I know I know I sound like a kid. :P

To give you a little perspective on how small this bugger is. Ain't it cute? LOL. If only I can get my mates to all get one then we can be racing about in office or something. Great way to release stress I tell ya! ;)

another rush...

Sigh. Looks like another round of long hours, stressful moments and moodiness on the way. We are going live this Monday and we barely have a handful of days left to get ready. A freakin' rush job that we aren't even allowed to voice out.

Anyhoo that is work life right. Just hope it will go by smoothly and I will be allowed to take my planned holiday at Ruby's Resort, Cherating come Thanksgiving. Been really looking forward to it.

Wish me luck folks! ;)
