Missing Somebody

Friday, April 4th, 2008

It’s finally here. Tomorrow 9AM I’ll be heading towards Los Angelos, and then to San Francisco. I woke up with a daze today, a bittersweet feeling even though it’s just gonna be only one month. All the while I thought I am pretty emotionally independent, and that I would be 100% cherishing this trip but […]

Just today I read a piece of news in The Shit… I mean, The Star that sent my blood boiling. Here’s the fucked up piece of news:
KUALA LUMPUR: A seminar on Syariah Law review wants non-Muslims found committing khalwat (close proximity) with Muslims to also be held liable.
This was among the proposals made at the […]

3 More Days To Flight

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I guess my prayers to the Invisible Pink Unicorn has been answered. I’m heading to San Francisco this weekend, 9AM Saturday, for one month to work closely with our client on their “core project”. What project? Beats me. No idea.
It’s been a tough time for my girl of course - she seems to be happy, […]

Car Insurance Completed

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

I called Lonpac Insurance Bhd just a while ago to check on the progress of my claim, and to my surprise they have already sent the letter to my house on the 18th of March! Talk about efficiency. Thing is I haven’t received the letter yet - gotta wait a few days more if our […]

Colossal Miscommunication

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

This morning was kind of funny. A sad kind of funny, but funny nevertheless. You see, I’m supposed to reach the office at 8AM to participate in an interview by the client that wants to know my skillset, and this meeting is supposed to be conducted via GoToMeeting. I’ve received the complete details, which includes […]

Escapism

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

In this century, wisdom has given up its place to a new concept called escapism. Let’s face it - all of us, to some extend, tend to run away from troubles rather than facing them head on. I am guilty of it too, and here I shall share some of my stories.

Rantings of a Programmer

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Sometimes I believe, like all jobs, programmers tend to be stereotyped as geeky nerds who spends all their time in front of the monitor screen - correction, MULTIPLE monitor screens, typing code that nobody understands except him and speaking a language that needs a whole cadre of CIA code interpreters to translate into human language.

Settling my police report

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Sometimes it makes me wonder how did us Malaysians actually got so far in the world. Something doesn’t seem right when 90% of my friends are hedonists and the rest of the 10% are oppressed geniuses that are either struck by their own eccentricity or looping in their own fantasy world all the time.

Hello World

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Here’s a classic start to this blog - Hello World. This from now on will be my sole ranting place, so if you have a problem listening to me talk about myself, well, find a wall, and scream at it. Actually, you can hit yourself with a hammer and pass out from the pain, but […]
