It's starting to show some beat again after a long hiatus. Since Jan 23 2009 to be precise. I even almost forgot my login ID and password .. LOL. That was after tembak-ing a few times that I managed to sign in =)

Why have I not been blogging ? 1 word .... LAZY !

I've been going through alot during this absence. Don't know where and how to start. Long story. Maybe you can just call me to ask if you're curious or you can also connect with me through Facebook.

Alrighty , hope I can continue updating this a little bit more.

Over and out .

恭喜发财 + Kong Hey Fatt Choy + Gong Xi Fa Cai + Happy Chinese New Year

It's 年廿九 today and my friends will be coming over to my house for the annually held gambling,drinking and welcoming CNY session. A day earlier than usual this year as a close friend ; KokHong will be having a house warming party on 年三十 .... so " boh pian" give face la :)

Last but not least , I would like to wish everybody a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year with the bestest of everything to come.

It has been a hectic crack. Juggling between work, more work and some leisure. Yea, I'm deprived of leisure. Albeit , I'm still happy . Everything seems to be smooth ; current workload being depleted, new business venture looking more and more realistic, having the love of my life with me every single day - almost . PERFECT !

Some important date that will be irreplaceable :

10 Nov 2008 - the start of a never-ending love story.
04 Dec - birthday of H.M my Princess ... Yeeling
10 Dec 2008 - 1 month jo ...
10 Dec 2008 - terrible flu

ok ... will update more about the business venture soon .

Cheerio~

15th - 17th November .... these days were the happiest days of my life. A vacation which is so relaxing, enjoyable and most importantly .... the companion mattered. It's true that happy moments passes by like a breeze and hence I'm now contemplating another such vacation. Hopefully !

All Too Happening

2008-11-25T02:49:00.000-08:00

Days passed , weeks passed , month passed .... My Life Dazzles ! It has never been so exhilarating ... ohhhh yea . I'm sitting facing my PC wanting to update this blog but not knowing what to write. Or perhaps I should rephrase , which to write about.

From being a "solitary ranger" to being attached , from drinking and pubbing and clubbing and bar/cafe hopping to going to the theatres, vacation, shopping, and I'm loving it. No sarcasm involved.

And there's this new plan coming up. A partnership that is well on the way and I can foresee something big from this. Something that will be life-changing. Something budding but will be massive.

I guess the only way for me to really update myself from ya'll is to upload lots and lots of pictures.Thus , I promise , my next post will not be a let down. But .... please remind me :)

p/s: a sneak peek for what to be expected .... ta !

Fooooood

Significant Other

2008-10-27T21:19:00.000-07:00

Do you believe in fate ? Well , I'm starting to feel it. Someone appeared in my life lately. Someone so special that she's turning my world around. Ok ... we knew each other aproximately 11 years ago. We were from the same highschool and she's 2 years my junior. This very girl is somebody that I've laid eye on ever since. She's sweet and she's just sooo sweet. Of late , she reminded me that I've called her and spoke to her over the phone back then , and even sang her a song ... a song by this HK singer Aaron Kwok ... LOL. I'm sorry (if you're reading this) but I seriously don't remember. Maybe I'm having this selective memory :P And I got scolded by her mom back then for interrupting her study time and was told not to call again (this I can remember). Guess that's when I got freaked out and stop calling. Lost contact ever since !? BUT ... her name and her image remains in my memory until today.

11 years later , with the blessing of the so powerful Facebook ... we got connected again. This time all grown up and ready to rumble ...ahaha. When I contacted her again , she was on holiday in Europe and just relaxing and enjoying herself and waiting for time to come home. We exchange messages , laughters , and also those nostalgic past. I was just happy to get connected again with somebody I knew a decade ago and lost contact with. Nothing more.

On the 25th September if I got it right , she came alighted her plane and step foot to motherland again. On that particular day itself , I was telling myself .... " Hmm ... she's back ." . I gave her my mobile number and got her to contact me and we could meet for a cuppa. 28th September 2008 , 5.30pm ... I got a sms from an unknown number and when I opened it , I read " Wei... Yl here ah Haha i'm back! This is my number ah remember to save it ok. :-)" That's the exact words she wrote. And guess what's the first thing that crossed my mind ? I was ... How come this gal don't use comma and fullstop. LOL =)

Texted her , called her and met up for a drink for the first time in Modestos@ Sri Hartamas.It was a friendly outing. Days after days and weeks after weeks .... I'm beginning to like this girl. Not knowing how and when. I've been seeing her almost everyday when I'm in KL. I'm loving it but I just hope she's not fed-up yet ...haha . Everything went on rather smoothly and I know we've been enjoying the times together . I ain't gonna story what happened in detail as it's all meant for her ears :P

tune in for part 2 of this romance which will be posted soon .... till then

Cheerio !!!

Am a work-a-holic ?

2008-10-17T19:56:00.000-07:00

I remember clearly picking up Jason from his condo , and the first word coming out from his mouth was " You just finished work ? OMG ! Are you a gong jok kong (workaholic) ?? "
Let me clear things up a little. I AM NO WORKAHOLIC ! . I feel more like a slave . Arghhh ... really envy those people who work nine-to-five x five days . To have Saturday and Sunday as offdays is really an alien thing for me. I'll be happy enough to jump on the every-sunday-offday-without-miss offer given I've gotta work on certain Sundays as well . Now do you believe me feeling more of a slave ? E.S.S.O . What's the first thing to pop up from your mind seeing that initial ? Many would be guessing it's the petrol station but to me it spells " Every.Saturday.Sunday.Off."

Ironman nickname sounds cool but I really don't fancy that tag hanging around my neck. I wanna be a normal guy who have ample time juggling work and fun and to have the fortuity of going out on dates with my love ones . I truly understand the need to spend quality time together.

Why am I still n this situation and not doing anything ? I've mustered all I could to fight for the weekly breaks but ..... to no avail. There's a reason behind these which I ain't gonna interpret. You can ask me when you see me and i'll try to decipher.

One of the reason why I always wanted to diversify the business .... and that's because I WANNA BREAK FREE !!! And thank God , there's something coming up lately which I hope will realise.

Brand New Old Me

2008-10-17T01:02:00.000-07:00

Yooo ... it's been a while since the last post . Lazy to post , not motivated or maybe just had nothing to blog about.

Well well well , this few months had actually been quite " productive " in all way. Work , social , health and of course trips ... muahaha ! This month alone , I've travelled to Vietnam @ Saigon for some 5 days trip (oct 1 - 5 ) ; with my family. Though it was not a superb vacation destination but still enjoyed the break. I'll upload some Viet pics when I get home as they're all in my PC at home. Oh yah .... got myself a brand new IMac too. Still getting used to the system and thus having difficulty using some functions like opening a sharing folder . Damn .

Next. Kota Kinabalu trip to climb Mt. Kinabalu ( Oct 10 - 13). The Dusun (aborigines) tour guide told us some stories , some dodgy stories bout that mountain as we arrived. Hikers getting lost in it and found dead days later , not calling out loud each others name and so on. Mt. Kinabalu used to be known as Akinabalu which in Dusun language means Mountain of Spirit !!! So we were adviced to show respect to the spirit ... don't this and don't that .

That's already at the summit . I guess this Kinabalu trip truly deserves a post for itself which I would hopefully do real soon. Until my next post .... ta !

p/s: I've met someone recently . Nice ;)

Sunday day

2008-07-13T09:25:00.000-07:00

It's the second Sunday of the month and it means rest day. And I'm glad that I've made it a good day for myself (really?) Woke up at 6.30am in the morning and headed to Bukit Putih for jungle trekking. It was good ... I don't feel too tired compared to the previous two hikes. Maybe I've built up some stamina or maybe I've somehow learned some technics to hike which requires less energy . ... Lunch with the lots who hiked ... and collapsed to bed zzzZZz after reaching home and a quick shower.

Woke up , early dinner and headed to KLCC to meet up with some friends. Bought myself a good reference book on photography .... 20% off .... NICE :P
The main purpose of going there was actually to take some pictures of the twin tower .... I took alot of different shots of it , with different settings. Not bad at all for an amatuer like me. serious !! Time flies and it's already 11pm without even noticing how long we've been there snapping pics. Pics will be uploaded soon ya .

updates updates !!!

2008-07-10T23:39:00.000-07:00

My life now is all about work , work and more work . Basically , working my arse out with a whopping 28 days per month and no dates :( .... yea no joke !!!

I realised that I'm always tired and stressful and leading a dull life.

Pre-programmed to:

wake -- work -- eat -- back -- sleep -- wake -- work -- and so on .........

This must not carry on . I gotta do something to spice up my life a abit , thus I ended up spending $3100 bucks buying myself a DSLR camera set ; a CANON 450D and I'm in love :P

I'm a "dummy" to photography, not knowing some of the very basic terms such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Google-ed a little, surf on it, do some experimenting snaps and hey .... I'm kinda talented ..... LOL !

waterfall @ Bukit Putih , Cheras

I'm also enrolled into a trip to KK in Sabah for an expedition to conquer Mt.Kinabalu (the highest peak in S.E.Asia) with 10 other friends of mine. Hendrik is the team leader :P
