5 days

A relationship started so fast & ended even sooner.

Better still, it ended with no notice.

Weird, huh?

Yet it was only 5 days..

only.. 120 hours

only.. 7 200 minutes

only.. 43 2000 seconds

It was & still is hard to believe that it actually happened.

Haha.

friendster??

what the hell?
my testimonials all gone.
why?
don't f'cking ask me.
damn.

long ago story

Was cleaning my files back home yesterday. Clicked open one of my ‘photo albums’ folder. Went through some pictures of several partying & celebrations, and these few pics really caught my attention.

Again I am going to repeat that time really flies fast. Can’t believe it was our first gathering as college-mates (the whole damn sem 6 class) together & our last farewell too. It was before our graduation ceremony. End of year 2004, if I'm not mistaken. Well, dinner at Zen, hit RedBox, then mamaking session somewhere nearby till late night.

Everyone showed their true colours that night. Chloe started dancing. Veronica & Thor was so-couple like singing. Catherine & Minako is more into Miriam’s romantic ballads. Sorry for me, only hanging on English songs, coz I don’t read much Chinese. Hehe. I admit I’m a banana girl ok, but just half ripe. Chenxi, Lock, Farah, Angela, Yvonne, Berny & me sang a few like nobody's business.. some ‘actions’ really make us laugh our ass off, especially Chloe doing that 'Bad Boy' song act. LOL!

Veronica & Farah @ Redbox Sunway

Mamaking session - 1. Lock & Chenxi (just let ur mind wander further on where her hands intend to grab) 2. This pic is only for Farah & Hooi Leng but I've got no idea what is Chenxi & Chloe thinking. (then again, when there're a camera, you gotta definitely hide it from Chloe. lol)

I don’t know. I felt weird.
Missing the times spent together.
Berny, Angela & Cat is in Aus. Minako back in Hongkong. Chenxi still in LUCT. Veronica & Lock in UK. Thor went missing in action. Chloe in UCSI,Cheras. Farah not sure yet. Yvonne's working in Klang. Me also working, Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam.

Conclusion – Thinking back, it was pretty fun. A blast.

Summon or Saman?

Got a "special invitation letter" from URUSAN SERI PADUKA BAGINDA.
When? 16/2/2006
Where? ELITE Highway.
Berapa compound? RM150
Why? Speed detected. I was only 110km/j only ler.. but the limit was at 90km/j lar...
Rules are so mend to be broken, right? And this is what I've get in return. Hehe.
Anyway the weird thing about summons is that, why when we're so-called 'punished' because of our selfishness on road, we still get some discounted price from them?
Summons also can pay in a discounted price?!?!
WOw..
Well, then again, please remember we're living in Malaysia.

Never a day like this again

Oh my gosh.

Today is really bad. Arghh.. And I mean truly unexpected.
Firstly I woke up early today, (a silly reason made last night a total sleepless one) but don’t know how I can still be late for work.
Almost clashed with a bodoh car who can’t make good use of the signal lights.
Still dreaming in the car while the lights turn green.
Bloody smart-tag haven’t upload.
Coins ran everywhere when I came upon the Kota Kemuning 1.50 toll.
Hot milo for breakfast. Half cup in my tummy, another half all over my body.
Why? No idea. For like so many many years of living from the age of twelve, I have stopped being clumsy. Damn.
‘Terpaksa’ see someone’s ‘face colour’ which I totally don’t appreciate.
Keep leaving things behind.
Open wrong files.
Ticketing counter elevations & cinema 1 cut-section – got headroom problem caused by the latest revised changes on the risers.
Amend again.
Cinema 5 minimized. Amend again.
Received a damn ‘out of the blue’ fax.
Several proposed penthouse sanitarywares & fittings were omitted AGAIN.
And again the awful supplier told me there won’t be any mistakes. But again she did it. I was like “WHAT?!?!”
My big voice screaming in my head! So what?! Still have to continue with my amendments, right??!!...
It’s like almost 7 now. And I’m still working.
FED UP!

Petrol turned gold

Petrol up 30 sen
KUALA LUMPUR: The price of petrol and diesel is up by 30 sen a litre effective today, the highest increase in the past two years.
However, the Prime Minister's Department, in a statement, said that this would be the only increase for the year.
Public transport and commercial vehicle operators only face a 15 sen rise for diesel.
“The Government has decided to introduce a direct subsidy for these operators, making up 84% of diesel users, through a fleet card scheme,” the statement stated.

"With the card they will be able to buy diesel at 15 sen less per litre than the new price.
“The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry has sent out letters to the operators who qualify for this scheme.”

The Prime Minister's Department also said the savings from the price increase would be used “to pay for development projects and improving the public transport system for the benefit of all people.”
The decision to increase the price of fuel was to overcome the impact of rising crude oil prices and to curb the increase in subsidies paid by the Government.

The announcement was made in a statement from the Prime Minister's Department at 10.30pm yesterday.
The retail price for petroleum products is being raised because last year the amount of subsidy borne by the Government was RM7.41bil whereas tax exemption stood at RM7.85bil.
“The burden of subsidy and tax exemption borne by the Government from January to February this year was RM1.19bil and RM1.44bil respectively,” the statement said.

TAKEN BY SURPRISE: Motorists queueing up at a petrol station in Petaling Jaya to fill up their tanks as news of the increase in fuel price reached them Monday night.The statement said that without the government's subsidy and tax exemption, the retail price of these products in March would have been higher.
Without the subsidy and tax exemption, the price of RON 97 in the peninsula would be RM2.46 a litre, RON 92 RM2.37 a litre, diesel RM1.98 a litre and LPG RM3.21 a kg.

In Sabah, RON 97 petrol without subsidy and tax exemption would be RM2.45 a litre, RON 92 RM2.37 a litre, diesel RM1.97 a litre and LPG RM3.35 a kg.
In Sarawak, the price of RON 97 petrol without subsidy and tax exemption would be RM2.45 a litre, RON 92 RM2.36 a litre, diesel RM1.97 a litre and LPG RM3.34 a kg.

“Although the Government is raising the price of petroleum products, diesel and LPG, the price of petrol and diesel in Malaysia is still cheaper than in other Asean countries except Brunei,” the statement said.

CRAZYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! better pump evian la then!

Certain or uncertain?

Sigh. I really hate to start blogging with a sigh. But...

So damn fast a blardee week just fly off. Double last Friday (17/2), somehow went thru a feelings-twisted, work-stressed, screwed-up labour life. Last week was a little better but it was still screwed-up in a 'way'. Indecisive numbness was all I can describe of my temperamental moods for the past weeks. Something just keeps bothering me.
Midnights are always the best. Life without hesitations, decisions, toxic wastes, just a peaceful-non-violent calm night. It's been raining cats & dogs for a few nights but it didn't rub on my wrong side as much as it did on the day. I don't know. I guess.. I'm most likely easily got irritated these days over some well… I should put it this way... as in some rather silly craps. My strawberry season was over for awhile ago, so I think this 'weird' mood isn't much caused by hormones.

Nevertheless, besides work-life, some sweetness nectar is blossoming in me. Soon to tell you but not now. Still thinking and this is really making me all tied up, butterflies trapped in me. Being indecisive is a blardee hell of hard work to do.

Hoping to get some good news from the other side of my tiny-puny, recently-crappy world.

Birds' problem caused it all

PM: We can fight bird flu
(from - http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/2/24/nation/13485178&sec=nation)

SEREMBAN: Malaysia is ready with the necessary mechanisms to fight bird flu, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
“The Health Ministry and relevant departments are monitoring the situation carefully and we have the necessary mechanisms to put into action if there are any problems,” he told reporters after presenting cheques to Felda Sendayan settlers here.
“It involves a few ministries and we will take whatever necessary action as needed.
“This includes getting information from our neighbouring countries on what can be implemented to solve the problem. There needs to be information.”

In KUALA LUMPUR, only four people, including two latest cases, remained under observation at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, said Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek.
He said one of them showed no signs of having contracted the flu while a two-year-old child was placed in the isolation ward.
He said the two latest cases were taken to the hospital to undergo tests.
“They will be discharged tomorrow (Friday) if they test negative for the avian flu,” he told reporters after opening the healthcare conference on diabetes management.
“There is no case of the avian flu affecting people in Malaysia. We only have confirmed avian flu cases among chickens.”

Veterinary Services Department acting director-general Datuk Dr Mustapa Jalil said strict surveillance, checking of premises and the culling exercise were continuing.
“As of today (yesterday), 1,970 chickens, 62 ducks, 72 birds and 505 eggs have been destroyed,” he said in a statement.
Dr Mustapa said surveillance of an area between a 2km and 10km radius of the affected area, which started yesterday, was to ensure that Kuala Lumpur, Ulu Klang, Gombak and its surrounding neighbourhoods were free from avian flu.
“The surveillance is carried out by teams from the department in Selangor,” he said.
“So far, our teams have taken 114 swab samples from 237 birds belonging to 24 residents and three pet shops located in Selayang and Hulu Klang.

“All have tested negative.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with all the talk about bird flu, I really think this big, yellow bird should be under quarantine.

I think I'm in love

Oh my gosh!!

I really think I'm falling in love.
The song - Kiss Goodbye by Lee Hom is really driving me gaga.
I've been like keep playin' the track repeatedly for like almost four days in a row.
This has never happened before.
And why is it happening now?
I've got butterflies in my stomach.
Damn.


ps: 'Thanks' a lot to Yvonne! She simply just caused it.

Nevertheless, a new day has begun.

His Majesty Condom

Last weekend evening I was surfing thru the channels & settled down with this sort of Taiwanese 'King of Adventure' sort-of documentary show. Anyway, this week, it was about the Egyptian culture, pyramids & history. It was quite appealing actually. Well,probably I’m got nothing much to do at that time.

One very peculiar thing that caught my attention though. Even the host was surprised. Back to ancient times, possibly 3000 years ago, condoms were actually existed. Hahahah.. Guys are still guys man. Hahahha.. it was pretty hilarious. For me, at least. Back then & now, guys are still bloody typical maniacs. Anyway, this ancient condom (only for pharaohs) looks like a sort-of animal skin belt that you’ll tie around your waist & a little pouch sort-of look to well.. shield your little family jewels. The funny things is you can even wash it when it's 'dirty' & after 'used'. Hahaha..

1.Some people believed that legendary Pharaohs became Egyptian gods. Do you? 2.Royal family emphasized between mankind and the life giving force of the sun disk. 3.Mummified monkey buried and provided with grave goods is evidence for a cult of sacred animals".

Damn, I don’t have the ancient condom picture to upload here. I tried looking for the image online but couldn’t find. But I came across this article about ancient Egyptian condoms…


…. Ancient Egyptian women were tired of applying the ointment of crocodile excrement and honey tincture as vaginal contraceptives, and the heavy burden of contraception fell on men’s fragile shoulders. Meticulous archeologists found out that the first ancestor of the modern condom appeared in Ancient Egypt in the XIII century B.C. Tose condoms did not resemble the thing that you wear sometimes – ancient condoms were lubricated intestines of animals.

Yuck! They smelled awful and looked horrid. Other sources say that ancient condoms were made of leather, then people started making contraceptive devices from bull bladders and sheep blind guts. The modern history of a condom started in 1564, when Italian scientist Gabriel Fallopius invented a little “bag” for male genitals. At first, it was made of linen, but then they started using the coating of animal intestines, which was imbued with special medicines and inorganic salt. This condom covered the top of a penis and was fixed with the help of a pink ribbon. Why was it pink - there is no answer to this question. By the way, that mediaeval condom was not meant for one-time use, and it was supposed to be carefully washed after every use...

A condom is not simply a word, it was the last name of a courtier baker of the English King Carl II. The king asked his servant to invent something that would protect his crowned penis from syphilis. As a result, the king was offered to use a little bag, made of sheep intestines, but this time there was no ribbon on it. This device was then used by all English noblemen.

Practically all men complain of the biggest disadvantage of a condom – some guys say that wearing a condom is like kissing a girl that wears a gas mask. There was an idea to make a little penis hat out of a long condom – a hat that could be put on the top of a penis for more enjoyment. It was even offered to glue such a hat to the ……

Haha. News to you. Same to me. Just love documentaries & discoveries, culture & beliefs, but that doesn't make me a boring girl ok.
