Lazy Day ....

So it's now a Tuesday .. and a day before the Hari Raya Holidays, basically a stretch of off-days from tomorrow till Sunday.

Everyone in my office has been infected by 'lazingitis' .... a syndrome that make you feel so incredibly lethargic that you just wanna sit around and pretend to work when you are actually waiting for the work hours to end .... hehe ....

Me .. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when a group of us will be heading to Cameron Highlands ( Strawberry Park ) for a short holiday - hopefully the traffic wont be too bad .. we've already gotten the beers and the stuff for a BBQ ...


PS : I hope Strawberry Park has got WIFI ............

Mamma Mia !!!

So it's Saturday once again ... and after catching up with all my overdue reports and paperwork .. someone mentioned going for a movie ..I was like .. Wow, I havent been in a cinema for like .. forever .. and I heard somebody say this was a good movie ..... so .... managed to get tickets for a midnight show for this .. check out the trailer below ....




And what did I think ? ..... OMG, this is the FUNNIEST movie I have ever seen in a looooong time ... Meryl Streep is absolutely AMAZING .... If you havent caught this yet .. GO WATCH IT !!

I've never actually liked musicals ( very cheesy laa ) but I gotta say this is really one of the best movies I've seen in a looong time .. one thing though ... James Bond ( Pierce Brosnan ) cant sing to save his life .. hehehehe ..

An Open Letter ..

I was surfing the blogs this morning when I came across this .. Susan Loone's website ... and in it was a post in which she wrote about a letter drafted by the Abolish ISA Movement or GMI ( Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA ) to the authorities regarding the current ISA ruling ... read about her post here ....

Seems that this dude named Allan has designed this website with an online protest for all the ISA detainees, including Raja Petra Kamaruddin. The message in this OPEN LETTER is loud and clear - all you have to do is to put your name in the box provided, select whomever you wanna send it to and just click SEND.

The program also calculates how many letters are sent so that monitoring can be done to see how progress is. If you feel strongly about the current ISA ruling and want to play a part in this .. then please go to the website and add your name in ... after all, you dont wanna see anyone you know end up inside locked away indefinitely without trial .....

Year's End ...

It's coming to that time of the year ... what with Hari Raya around the corner .. and the festival of lights right after that (or Deepavali ) .. and then there's Christmas .. and the New Year .. and Chinese New Year after that ... and what do these all have in common ? ........ Lots and lots of lip smacking food and alcohol !!!

Which brings me to this ... how am I gonna enjoy myself without putting on the pounds?















I've had almost everyone tell me that I've got a BIG belly .. and that I'm overweight .. but I stand at 5 feet 9 inches .. and as you can see .. I weigh 80kgs.

According to my BMI or Body Mass Index website .. I'm like only sliiiiiightly overweight laa ... if I haaave to .... I'll go on a diet AFTER all the celebrations .. hehehe .... besides, I'm going on holiday next week !!

Now if I can just find somewhere to put that stupid weighing scale ... somewhere out of sight .......

Birthdays ....

I've always liked birthdays. The whole scene with the balloons and the snacks and the birthday cake (what's a birthday without a birthday cake?) and all your goofy friends around getting drunk .. and of course, presents !!

But recently I've begun to dread birthdays .. especially mine. Maybe it's cos with each birthday I land on, I seem to realise the significance of what it really means .. I'm just getting older and I've just realised that I don't wanna AGE gracefully ... there are just so many things that I still havent done .. or experienced.

But this particualr birthday really sucked. For one, I was still nursing a wounded and infected eye, and second, I was alone on an outstation assignment. Of course there were the sms'es from family and friends but it just didnt feel the same .. no beers on the table or friends around .. and no birthday cake.

I did, for a minute consider getting myself a small cake .. from me to me .. but methinks that would have been even more pathetic. So .. I just went out and sat down at a local mamak shop and ordered this :















I couldnt even finish it ... I dunno whether it was me or the murtabak .. but it was tasteless .. next time I'm gonna make sure I don't go anywhere when my birthday comes around .. at least I'll be with family even if I do get stood up by my friends ... and at least I'll have some cake ..

Healing ....

It's 23:15 hours on a Sunday nite.

Seems that my infectious eye has finally made some progress. For one thing, it's no longer swollen shut cos I guess all that stuff that I've been swallowing has had some effect - but now that I'm able to see out of BOTH eyes .. I dont think I like what I see ..

There's pus coming out of the wound out of my lower eyelid where the swelling used to be .. and from a certain angle I bear an uncanny resemblance to Shrek.

Ugh.

Anyways, I hope the eye will heal enough for me to get back to work tomorrow cos I'm like bored outta my skull .. and hopefully the wound wont leave a scar .. bad enough I already have a long scar on my lower jaw from a previous robbery attempt ( 62 stitches but that's another story ) .....


Hope my clients wont freak out at the sight of me .....

This is Funny .....

When you're stuck in the house with an eye infection, there's not a lot you can actually do .. besides watch tv and surf the net .....

I came across this blog by this dude ... check out his blog here .... and of this video spoof .... I like the part at 3:18 where it goes "oh shit, he suspecting me" ... hahahahaha ...



Really creative, wouldnt you say?
