I went to Siamese temple to qing ming, 2 spots, my great grandma n father
woke up in the morning wit high hope that it will be smooth sailing qing ming, arrived at the Siamese temple, all my hope shattered.
A lot of people neh! after heavy downpour n humongous of qingming goers number yesterday, the whole place is a mess, with rubbish and mud!
middle of the whole thing, i saw CK's brother n the sis in law.... hehe wat a coincidence!
then suddenly handphone rang! YL call me n say "Jz now i call u, u no look and u jz walk away"
i was like huh, filled with thousands of ??? while lighting the candle at my father's altar. Oh i think Yew Lyn is here too.....hehehehehe
i went to search for YL and she wore a yellow cap....Martell brand...hmn i think must be from his father's liquor store.... hehehe
she asked me when are we goin to visit J. I think i ned to work out my schedule as i jz got some time to breath after exam. Oh i ask her how she goin bek KL later, she says wit her fren's car...hehehehe suppose to drive her bek if i am driving bek to tpg and got space. But then ok la...everyone got their plan laid out dy!
Oh i packed 3 red packets for the monk for some chanting service. and i dropped one of it...haih bad luck..... i duno where it drops.
I went to burn to joss paper and i saw this idiot man with his pregnant wife n small kid, wan to burn joss paper also. He throw 3 packets of joss paper to burn. Let me clarify, in plastic! yes, burning plastic. Idiotic! then the pregnant wife seems to enjoy the fume and aroma from the burnt plastic. He then took the leftover joss paper on the wife's hand n simply throw in....and at the same time, ask the wife to throw away all the candles, dun wan bring back home. Aiyo then keep on saying lets go lets go.... the wife mention qing ming for his mother n grandparents. Aiyo, wat a good blessing the son-in-law of those departed will get leh with this type of attitude?!?! wat ever la...i dun agree n i dun think so i ned to know hahahaha
suddenly when almost finsih burning joss paper.... i step aside and i saw AK beside me...woah!
so ngam one the timing??? he so bz looking for place to place the offerings and the aunt is oso bz finding a table to be used. aik..... the tall table i use was snatched by another aunty...kesian if could pass him the table, now AK no tall table use. aih...timing not so correct kuar
then i went to the new wing, to put some joss stick for my grandpa.....AK was there oso bz wiping the table. I was at the sink washing my hand when he came over n told me...."eh how come so many ashes on ur head" ....har???? really meh? i try to brush off then AK says

AK says "eh ur hair burned la....hehehe"
"looks like dyed only nvm...."

He did say he woke up 6.30am....dats not good news la, as he will be driving...but then my question is 6.30am till 10.30am u go where ar? now only reach siamese temple.....as usual lo, fetch the aunt go buy stuff n breakfast n lenggang kangkung....hehehehe

Qing Ming 2008
I waited till 845pm 28th Mac, still AK didn't call me
i call him every time he say will call me back, so i sense something not rite, shud be some1 still undecided bout the trip, so i keep quite n dun wan to stress AK up further. So 845pm i brave myself to call him and yes we fixed the time to go home 6AM
question is "u can o not?".... hmn, it's suppose to be "i can o not?"
I sure can la, but AK usually kenot one la... he always over slept and not on time
i went out at 5.45am to his place, and AK says i no ned to drive bcoz someone is not goin bek the same trip. Ok.... but then
aiya shud have drive wira, more comfortable
but then if i offer AK my car for him to use through the whole trip, he sure dun wan ler.
so jz follow la....
4 in one car, we hit the highway 6.20AM and reach Tapah R&R at 7.30am
thn headed to Ipoh to eat Dim Sum..... hmn someone suggested Fu San. aiks, i never been to Fusan. Yet alot of outstation people mention alot bout fusan, locals that i knew usually dislike fusan.
So in the end, my first visit to Fusan seems to answer all my bewilderment. Fusan prawn dimsum (Har Mai) is nice, the rest all seems like not up to my expectation. Haih sarcastically AK kena suan lo.... "who suggested Fusan ar??"
i told AK, once we came to Ipoh for Yuk Fook Moon, it taste better, and on his face, it shows that he couldn't agree more and no opposition. not forget to mention, kena saman oso by MBI coz AK park his car in the taxi lot..... actually he knows, but duno la.... nvm ler..... (malas wan to invoke any debate, sudah tau tapi buat jugak, hah itchy ass la! but then, aiya as long happy ok la, dun care). so how much the dim sum breakfast cost? RM100 in total plus saman. haha.... haih funny i didn't feel annoyed but i seems like accept the faith in a very willing manner!
went to buy salted chicken and help his father find some biscuits to buy as gift for his relatives n in-law, since first visit after not around for more than 20 years
headed back to tpg n reach round 11.30am.... oih very tiring, i can feel my eyes throbing, in harmony wit my heart beat. hahaha i look at AK, oso the eyes like meekoo!
hmm not to forget his sister, slept almost the whole journey n made some noise when sleep *hint*
once reach, took a bath n off i go to get haircut n went back to my old house to have alook at things left over there. tired now, really ned to sleep liao

Quest for BKT
today lunch KF suggested to go for BKT. Since boss not here so we go for BKT at SS14.
in our mind, we wanted to have BKT @ Chuan Chiew Restaurant
we arrived at SS14 and as usual we went on our do our chore, finding parking.
we saw Chuan Chiew Restaurant whilst carrying out our chore, but its not open. wat the?!?!?
Aih....it only opened early morning and late evening according to its sign.
but we still have 2nd choice, Yu Kee. Finding parking is already a nightmare at SJ but then today, even more dreadful, all the parking ticket machine nearby all rosak one! Aih mana ini MPSJ?
so went off the Yu Kee, and we were welcomed by the worker there. Very friendly, and very polite! Even clear off the table fast to make space for us! Well its a good thing after such ordeal in finding parking, purchasing parking receipt and finding out Chuan Chiew is closed.
When we sit down only, another person (uncle) came along and take our order. Very polite too! I think its the boss la....very patient in explaining the available order, since we are first timer, we asked some question that might sound stupid to him. But amazing, he explained nicely and very polite oso! Bravo! i think i give him 10 marks out of 10 for attentiveness and politeness.
Oh we saw a parking ticket machine, so KF went to get a ticket n put it in the car. While he was away, another worker, uncle oso, came along and ask whether i have placed my order or not. Aih.. polite n attentive. wah seems like being treated as VIP leh!
The BKT there is ok la.... basically can eat...not super nice but ok la.... not bad! price a bit high if u add some extra stuff like straw mushroom (extra RM5).
Its quite hot there, even though the shop is well ventilated, maybe its due to hot weather!
we also saw some photo of Jay Chou and Andy Hui i think, who visited the restaurant once upon a time. hehehe.... i oso visited the restaurant today muahahahaha...
so its time to go, and one of the worker (i think tis one must be the boss's son la.... doesn't look like uncle or ah beng or foreign worker) to calculate the damage caused. hmn oso again
very polite, very attentive and soft spoken like very well educated person.
although i think some BKT does taste better, but this one is not bad in taste......
this visit is very pleasant wit so many nice polite people and attentive people serving you! very the gud gud gud!
aih....now very thirsty! BKT ma..... wat u think?

Woo Hoo Certified!
i grounded myself in the house 2 days without even stepping a foot out from the main door. I was well supplied with some fruits, bread and tea. n some loads of sms to keep me alive!
so it was not so nice to stay in the house 2 days and wat u need to do is, study study, and try out some alien codes which u never had the chance to use or even came across your mind. Well i think that is the price i ned to pay for my brave attempt to do my SCJP.
The last time i was under the same situation is when i attempted CCNA.
well the day before the exam, i tried out almost 300 questions. Trust me, its not nice to be bombarded with almost 300 technical exam questions. its not those u can simply reason out to protect ur own opinion wit supporting fact that you wan it to be like dat, jz bcoz u believe it is like dat!
technical questions very hard, correct means correct, wrong means wrong, and why it is wrong is fairly as important as knowing what is right. well at least must know wat causes the error, if not pointless in attempting SCJP
the day arrives, i barely had enuf sleep the nite b4 although i try to get 8 hours of sleep. Proven stress does make me restless, oh not to mention i feel young again wit some small pimples appearing on the face. Rarely can see so many at one glance!
i woke on the exam day, feeling tired. i am so worried my mind can focus on those technical details. How you hated that feeling when u went to bed feeling confident that you are ready to take on the world, but waking up next day feeling lost and tired. Well, i think the only thing is jz go ahead and take the exam. I sometimes need to tell myself that everything is in my head. Dun worry, the points will flow out effortless when i encounter with questions
well i arrived at the exam center 20 mins b4 the exam. d whole journey 2 d exam center seems to be bit unpleasant with a taxi ferrying 4 people driving like tortoise in the middle of the road and swaying from right to left trying to guess which road the passengers wan to take
it does test my patience and i did get offended, i over took the taxi once i get a good chance to do so, n reminding myself that this incident is not a matter of life n death, so be it, let if pass by
it feels great that the mind can calm down with those words. but then, tiredness still lurking somewhere in the corner of my mind. waiting to un-masquerade itself and portraying its mightiness in its own way. haih one word to describe i feel like Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
i arrived at the exam center car park, went to the lift n press 3rd floor, and when the lift door about to close, it ajar bit by bit until its full capability, enters 3 aunties! aiyo!! aunties!!
the aunties are like clowns! the hair, the makeup. LOL (Simpsons !!)...... no offense
well they are not merely clowns, they are jokers too. one of them started to ask the rest, which floor. the first joker presses G, the 2nd one says its 2nd n headed for that button, and the 3rd one says its 1st floor!
there goes the lift buttons! all glowing like firefly, each n every floor!!
cut the crap.... those clowns a.k.a jokers exited at 1st floor. It cost me almost 2 minutes to reach 3rd floor when it suppose to takes only 30 seconds! well i stepped out from the lift, and i feel at home again. y? i worked here once upon a time. i knew every single crook n nanny of this floor. i went into the exam room, not forgetting to visit the toilet 2 times during exam due to too much drinking and freezing cold temperature.
i was half way thru the questions, and my brain seems like giving up. i think must be overdosed with questions since yesterday feeling like giving up but i force myself thru, I wanted to get a free t-shirt badly hahahaha (those who take exam till 31 march will get free t-shirt if pass)
wat an excuse n wat a motivation.
I click the submit button after 2 hours 10 mins and i ran out to collect my exam. Oh God please tell i got the t-shirt! yes i got it! but i need to wait for the exam board in Sweden to post me those cert and t-shirt
headed to next door to visit my old place. Believe me, entering that door really needs courage n determination. Lots of those dreadful faces are still unleashed in that nic! i went to take my document from the account clerk and headed to ev place n ask her out for lunch
its my treat, since its her bday
so went to mcD for lunch, n chit chatted for 1.5 hours. i found out she have same experience in working life and social side of life. Interesting....maybe i am more like her, expressed me self as more artistic kuar? ev is a senior graphic designer
wat a day, ev oso mention she know my 2nd boss leh...all bunch of rock climbers
wah lau eh! this industry is so small, everything gets back and formed a circle!

after series of mishap or should I rephrase as series of bad luck.... things seems like working on well today
early in the morning i was welcomed with another issue. this time, i really have to admit, i feel frustrated but yet, i think i need to pull myself together
hey....is due to session leakage in the system which drench the DB sessions. This can't seems to be working correctly, yet to shed some lighter moment, my boss did point out the major caused is not from ourside, yeah...what a relief that in the end someone actually step up and protect the team...bravo! nice leh....not like wat i have gone thru under supervision of idiots bitches! well emotional ady......hmn bitches are bitch enough to backstab you when you are in deep shit. Trust me not a pleasant one...so lets move on....

Tech Day 12th March 2008
Ok it started some unpleasant things
1. The code i have done caused some mis-behavior of the prod sys
2. I accidentally coded some new logic which interfere with the existing flow of the Prod
3. solution : manually patched the mistakes
4. some idiot amended the table, added new column to it and didn't inform me. It was discovered when its already in Prod
5. solution : handle the problem n wait for some bomb or bullet to hit me hard...yes really hard this time! live wit it, yes i am ready to face the blame though its not my problem
6.I released some new release codes and it interfere with the prod deployment.
7. Solution : clean up all the mess and get the code ready again for prod deployment. Lesson learnt, branch your prod code!
8. I was hit with some error which apparently not my fault. Its due to data migration
9. wait i never even know bout any data migration since the start, no one informed me bout the migration
10. solution : act dumb and tai chi back the problem.....hey its not my fault anyway, too bad......
I still have lots of work to do i think, but i think not so much either. My brain is restless juggling between work and my exam. aih....my brain needs to be upgraded to dual or even quad core
its time to evo to 64 bit brain hahaha or maybe better 128 Bit

UKM choir exchange 2008
we were welcomed by a group of ushers at the main gate and at the entrance. situation seems bit awkward for both parties due to meeting up strangers for first time. Not much words been exchange for that short moment of entrance into the experiment theater. Trying hard to behave and suppressing the urge to monkey out like usual, we took some seats in the experiment theater. It smells old! the smell is so familiar like the old DTC before it has been burnt down and the Experiment Theater behind DTC! yes exact smell!
Without any introduction of any other welcoming speech, we were left isolated in the ET. We were wondering where are those UKM people. After 20mins so so of wait, the UKM team enter the ET. Without much words been swapped, we were requested to poss on the mini stage for a group photo. without any hesitation we heeded the summon and stand there for for group photo. well the itchiness in the ass became so pronounced. some one suggested few shot of formal and there it goes again few shots of SS (itchy ass!....)
after that shot we went on with some ice breaking session. First one; scissor,rock and paper. If you win, you can ask questions regarding your opponent. If you lose, then answer the question la ngok! seems so unique the way of ice breaking. never done this before anyway. Soon after the first session, second session is a big circle (seems like square or duno wat abstract organic shape we had form), a mastermind stands in the center with a broom. OMG! wat in the world we are goin to play wit a broom? whack you fren? broom away your enemy? hahaha. The objective of the game is to shout out someones name (without any repetition) and that someone needs to grab the broom stick from the mastermind before the broom falls down in the count of five. Ok....unique oso, but then i can see a lot of people from UM side look so worry! i knew it, they forgotten their UKM frens name. Hahaha you can only call out the other team member's name. Aih i oso worried la, as i only knew few of them and i can't remember name (short term memory loss kekeke). then those fail in this game was punished to do cat walk and with some expression n gimmick at the center of the circle!
ok, then 3rd game is something like cat and the mouse. Ok i ned to confess that this game really needs alot of brain work. aih tiring and brain taxing in figuring out who is the cat n who is the mouse and wat to do when u r a mouse or cat vice versa
then we continue on to group discussion. not much vocal n serious management issue was been discuss. I felt quite not in place with this idea of discussion when nothing significant was discussed. then the happiest moment is here....LUNCH!
after lunch we had our warming up session in two separate places. UM had the privilege (jz to make it sound we are so lucky) to use the ET and UKM people use their grand piano room.
wah ..... a grand leh! so lucky! we in UM oso never used a grand for warming up and practice unless on the competition day (if you are lucky enough that the grand is been granted by the Sultan of Perak for use)
well we rehearse the first team first, tried out few setting and positions. so settled down with it, then 2nd team is bit unlucky when they have no time to run through their selections. Only one song and UKM people came in for the next session. Next session is learning Music Speak To Me Now. it is quite easy to learn if we are given then scores, but its scarce. so we cramped ourselves consuming the limited copy of scores with our eyes! Then show time! 1st team presented well, except the piano accompaniment is disastrous! 1st team did have lots of basic things to work out.
2nd team performance oso went well, with some basic things to keep in mind, pitching n vocal style need to be more standardized. then came the moment we are waiting for. the presentation from UKM choir! their voice seems to blend well due to almost-same vocal texture produced by all of them. piano accompaniment is bit out but not as disastrous as the 1st team. Last presentation was the combined session where we need to present Music Speak To Me Now.
After that, the bunch of people from UM dedicated some other songs for the UKM and also teach them a Kenyan song Gwendette. And we bid goodbye to everyone n headed to UKM roundabout for some photos, jumping up n down like monkeys! hahahaha at last we can be ourselves again. Then some of us headed to Kajang sate with one of the UKM bass from Penang!

Soon after the first session, second session is a big circle (seems like square or duno wat abstract organic shape we had form), a mastermind stands in the center with a broom. OMG! wat in the world we are goin to play wit a broom? whack you fren? broom away your enemy? hahaha. The objective of the game is to shout out someones name (without any repetition) and that someone needs to grab the broom stick from the mastermind before the broom falls down in the count of five. Ok....unique oso, but then i can see a lot of people from UM side look so worry! i knew it, they forgotten their UKM frens name. Hahaha you can only call out the other team member's name. Aih i oso worried la, as i only knew few of them and i can't remember name (short term memory loss kekeke). then those fail in this game was punished to do cat walk and with some expression n gimmick at the center of the circle!
ok, then 3rd game is something like cat and the mouse. Ok i ned to confess that this game really needs alot of brain work. aih tiring and brain taxing in figuring out who is the cat n who is the mouse and wat to do when u r a mouse or cat vice versa
then we continue on to group discussion. not much vocal n serious management issue was been discuss. I felt quite not in place with this idea of discussion when nothing significant was discussed. then the happiest moment is here....LUNCH!
after lunch we had our warming up session in two separate places. UM had the privilege (jz to make it sound we are so lucky) to use the ET and UKM people use their grand piano room.
wah ..... a grand leh! so lucky! we in UM oso never used a grand for warming up and practice unless on the competition day (if you are lucky enough that the grand is been granted by the Sultan of Perak for use)
well we rehearse the first team first, tried out few setting and positions. so settled down with it, then 2nd team is bit unlucky when they have no time to run through their selections. Only one song and UKM people came in for the next session. Next session is learning Music Speak To Me Now. it is quite easy to learn if we are given then scores, but its scarce. so we cramped ourselves consuming the limited copy of scores with our eyes! Then show time! 1st team presented well, except the piano accompaniment is disastrous! 1st team did have lots of basic things to work out.
2nd team performance oso went well, with some basic things to keep in mind, pitching n vocal style need to be more standardized. then came the moment we are waiting for. the presentation from UKM choir! their voice seems to blend well due to almost-same vocal texture produced by all of them. piano accompaniment is bit out but not as disastrous as the 1st team. Last presentation was the combined session where we need to present Music Speak To Me Now.
After that, the bunch of people from UM dedicated some other songs for the UKM and also teach them a Kenyan song Gwendette. And we bid goodbye to everyone n headed to UKM roundabout for some photos, jumping up n down like monkeys! hahahaha at last we can be ourselves again. Then some of us headed to Kajang sate with one of the UKM bass from Penang!
6th College Choir for UKM choir exchange
Ah hah....some side story. 6 people from 6th joined us.... but then 2 of them turned down due to some reason well, its not big issue then, we are goin to have fun, ain't we?
yea..... aih, again i need to baby sit them, as they are our guests rite? so no big deal
this round KK, Ry, Lyn, SY went with us to UKM, while KY n NW didn't go...well next round la KY n NW.
I got feedback from few of them as well as few from 9th....well the barrier is breaking down finally. Friendship blossoms more this time round, people are now getting to know each other more. yea.... we did achieve something huh. well not bad la. the thing i would like to see them achieve the least. So mission accomplished.
tis time round the company played n teased each other like never b4. so i guess things are getting better among the 6th n 9th people. But only 4 of them, watodo? i personally would like to bring more of them, but due to the other's commitment and discipline and some constraint especially transportation, so better keep things small n manageable n achievable n less stress for me.
well things ended so soon, everyone will be back to their own mundane routine. i am sure everyone will miss each other. and this session (07/08) has proven itself to be the most happening, tiring and successful one. so do appreciate it n make it a memorable one for everyone!
oh hopefully everyone will keep in touch as long as we can. dun let the tie loose n friendship fades.... we have been through a long way, so keep on walking!

9th College Choir for UKM choir exchange
trying to be professional this round, and due to its an exchange program, the team decided not to rehearse much.
well one thing i would like to tell them in the face, but i still can't find a nice time to do so. I observe and i notice that, when you dun put pressure on them, they slack. They will ignore their musical sense n start to live back in the dark age!
i really duno wat to do or tell them anymore. You wan to enjoy, yes go ahead. but please make sure u get all ur techniques correct at all time. if not you will move back to square one. and y must always when people yell at u, only u wan to be smart and alert? people like to get scold, and cry and then complain people are too harsh on them.... but then they can do it after the series of unpleasant treatment. and when u take your eyes off them, they slack. So i really dun understand, well sooner or later they will need to walk the path on their own, so my advice, be alert n smart....
sad to say.... i think this coming to grad batch is quite a failure.... seems like we can't retain many heart or shud i say, almost non of the seniors are showing any passion in continuing the tradition. Well the seniors of urs can't be there after sometime, you cannot expect that...so i foreseen
the day shall arrive! when everything will be swept clean n the magnificent building which we are so proud of, which people outside the circle are so amazed with will fall down n subside as rubbles!
well i think as time goes by, i am more ready to face that day... y leh? well the fire is getting smaller and sooner will bcome a small flame and vanish as a wisp of smoke.

XUM choir for UKM choir exchange
Well, XUM prepared 3 songs, initially we want to prepare more than 3, but i think, better keep it down to something we can churn out in 1 run through session and 3 rehearsals
Didn't manage to get enough tenors this round, so need to surrender the solo part to sops
bravo, 2 of them did a great job in boleh kau rasa itu cinta malam ini.
Due to 'erection' oopss (sorry i am mocking some speaker)....election 2 members turned the team down...and another frustration is another 2 members turned the team down on the 11th hour. At first MC n Mdy seems so frustrated when they got the sms..... haih.... i oso feel so, but then lets look at things positively, view it as an opportunity, a challenge rather than a problem.
So life goes on, we are down to almost very equal number in each section, 5 each...its an opportunity to work on our ear n sense of balancing more, bcoz now we need to re-balance up everything due to some members turned us down. So embrace my frenz! embrace n seize the chance to learn to listen more n build up ur sense of music!
everything turned out great...but still some parts is not up to expectation, maybe up to my expectation. But this is not a competition, so dun be so demanding la.
Ok new members, especially those absorbed from college team, are proven to be very left behind. they seems to be left out, in music awareness and musicality quite weak. But then watodo? they have been thrown into the deep sea, n they survived Hey not bad la, people can catch up in time, so its not bad at all in the end. though some glitches happened but dun cry over it ok.
with more time, the team can soar higher, but the main concern is also time. the seniors dun like to spend much time, so we try to compromise n work in a smart way to save up time. Yea we did well this time.
Vocal wise, surprisingly since the first setup for this event, its very balance! and i can't afford to denied that, slower number suits the team better. Oooo in particular is graceful as ever. Hehehehe. Masuk bakul angkat sendiri ady!
so the day arrived, we didn't get chance to rehearse, except one song...y? bcoz we are too bz supervising the college team. So when we are jz about to get our voice together n test the acoustic of the hall, UKM team enters the hall. So not to be rude, we stop our rehearsal and get on with the event. Hey the hall really favours lower frequency....something u dun get much in DTC!
