crazy weekend + public holiday

the past week starting last Friday until Wednesday (Wesak holiday replacement) was totally great and somewhat crazy...

2 childhood buddies came back for the holiday, and the whole gang went out for gatherings, drinking/partying sessions as well as gambling sessions practically from the time they got here until they flew back...

plus, it was Hedo's birthday on Tuesday, so I had back-to-back Jap buffet, one on Saturday with them friends, and Tuesday with Hedo & gang... I swear I had sooo much sashimi that I won't touch one for the coming few months...

some pictures that I managed to take...


salmon, white tuna, fish eggs...


octopus, shrimp, grilled lamb, cod, smoked salmon...


this was what I got for the first round...


the beef balls sold at the roadside Lok Lok along Ban Hock Road... looked ordinary but I kid you not peeps... they taste heavenly...


back to back visits to Soho... something that I have not been doing for more than a year...


hehehe... you think I dunno how to drink meh??


lemme show you losers how it's done... one hand beer, one hand ciggie... wuahahaha...


hmm... that chick looks familiar...


and crazy amount of ciggies... almost died-ed... -_-

have you seen so much shoes in your life??

LEA Centre is having their grand stock clearance sales until Wesak Day. Everything in the house is sold at 1/2 price... Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Slazenger, Lotto, Dunlop... you name it, and they'll sell it to you at half the price... it's crazy...



I went over to their outlets with a few friends on the weekend to have a look. Lots and lots of people. Mountains and mountains of shoes... and I'm not exaggerating... I've got prove...


unbelievable and ridiculous amount of shoes... from as low as RM24.95 to RM399 (those hot & sexy Nike and Adidas footwear)...

I ended up buying 1 Adidas World Cup Germany Polo shirt, 1 Adidas t-shirt, 1 Nike t-shirt, and 1 Dunlop shorts. The total amount came up to about RM140, freaking cheap...



and I saved the best for last. saw this Nike leisure/jogging shoe on the rack... size 12, last pair, loved it ... tried them on the spot... and went straight to the payment counter... another RM199 gone...


Hedo and the gay fart machine said that I shop like a woman... but I don't care...

some night shots...

tested out some night shots using my SE K800i under normal setting without flash...

the results were pretty good...


the meter console...


yea, got back my player already...


and I'm loving it... :)

long weekend break...

I took 2 days leaves for last Thursday and Friday, and plus the Saturday and Sunday of non-working days, I was pretty much bored out doing virtually nothing useful apart from watching DVDs, Astro, went driving around town yumcha and washed my car... and I forgot that even though I wasn't working, everyone else still went to work... thus causing those long jams when I was running some errands around town...

cars cars cars everywhere... -_-


look at the piled up cars... Kuching traffic jams are fast catching up to those of KL jams...

one of the reasons of getting those leaves is to go over to RHB bank and get my ATM card done. decided to start saving a couple of hundreds of my income per month into this account rather than spending them all on stuff that I don't really need at times... as well as keep on splashing those cash onto my car...

it's a start...

new shoes...

I got back into playing badminton recently. However, last week's session didn't go too well as the sole of my shoes were too thin, causing my feet to become painful afterwards. Decided to get myself a new pair of shoes, so went over to the usual shop and made the purchase during lunch time.


brand - Fleet

The taukeh recommended this pair, as it has thicker sole, and it absorbs impact better, thus being more gentle to the ankle and knee. I'm a sucker to these kindda stuff... so ended up RM90 poorer... :(

new 22' LCD...

the 2007 PIKOM Fair was held during the weekend. I waited until the last day, and went over late evening, hoping to get a better bargain during the closing hours on the final day.

the place was jam packed with people... and it was pretty hard to move around. asked around for the price of a M2 memory stick. I ended up getting a Sandisk 1GB M2 for my SE K800i for RM135, the cheapest I could find as some were selling at RM150.

then it was time to go LCD hunting. asked around for the price of 22" LCDs, and there were only 2 booths selling 22" LCDs, both BenQs (yea what to do... Kuching wad...). one quoted me RM1080, and the other one quoted me RM1050 at the dying hours of the fair. I checked the price a week before the PIKOM fair, and the average price for a 22" was +/-RM1170, so it's already somewhat cheaper...

it was obvious that they were closing, and wanted to clear as much stock as possible, thus giving me that price. RM1050 was pretty much within my budget, so I said okay, paid the guy... and was a happy man walking out of the fair... :)

my new BenQ 22" LCD


BenQ Senseye FP222W...


the total package... it's a gorgeous sight... heh...


the 22" LCD monitor has an even bigger display area than my 21" Sony Wega...

pics taken using my SE CyberShot 3.2MP

my Magnum organizer, a complementary gift from a friend working there... very neat stuff...


very bad traffic jam... -_-


got bored in the jam... so took photo of the dashboard...


spanking clean... and waxed... yeah!!


watches on my table...

new racket temptation...

went to collect my friend's new Prince badminton racket after lunch... and now I'm more tempted than yesterday on getting a new one for myself... argghh~~

MUST.NOT.CINCAI.SPEND.MONEY.ON.EXTRA.RACKET....

Prince... nice stuff...

one done, one more to go...

bought the Sony Ericsson K800i during the weekend...


the K800i box


from another angle...

so it's now one purchase done, one more to go - the LCD monitor this coming PIKOM fair... heh...


a night shot of my dashboard using the 3.2 CyberShot... neat stuff...

shopping list...

there are now 2 things in my shopping list that I would be getting my hands on real soon.

1. a new phone. yea, I sold off the O2 Atom, and now I'm eyeing around for something simpler and less complicated. the most probable purchase would be this:


Sony Ericsson K800i... yea I need a good camera as well, so it is the total package... and I dislike bringing around extra digicams...

2. a new LCD monitor. as mentioned in my previous post, my old 15" monitor is no longer working. since the PIKOM fair is coming to town next week (I think, need to confirm), I'll be getting myself a new LCD monitor, hopefully at a bargain. it'll either gonna be a 19" or a 22", brand Samsung, BENQ or Acer. heh... stay tune...




aren't LCD monitors way cooler and appealing than those huge-assed CRTs??

friends/people that are just not worth trusting, or even knowing...

ever since I've started working 5 years ago, my circle of friends grew exponentially... some of them have grown close to me, while some remain just hello-bye friends.

and during this time, I've came upon friends that asked for favours from me on lending them money. most of the time, if the amount is not too huge, I would usually say okay. then there are friends who kept their promises, and return the loan on time, plus a treat or two to the coffee shop. then there are people who keep on delaying on returning me the money, but in the end still paid me back the loan amount.

and there are people who kept on giving you empty promises on when they are gonna give you back the money, but then will come out with more stupid lame reasons to drag it even further...

(**I need to clarify that I'm lending friends money without charging them interest okay. it's more of giving them a small financial help if I could**)

and today, I present to you the two muthar-farkers who owe me money, and had the least intention of paying me back...


Ah Khoon. This bastard owes me RM400 since July 2006. called him, never answer, and never returns call. looked him up, and will promise you heavens and earth on when he will get the money and pay you, but it'll all bull-crap! yea, the face also like shiet...


Johnathan. Ah Khoon's nephew. Fucking owes me RM700 since October 2006. also the same piece of shit like his uncle... will promise you on when he'll get the money to pay you back, but it's all horse shit.

now, I no longer bother to get the money back from them fucktards, coz it's just a waste of my time. it's not that I don't feel the pain of losing more than RM1k of my hard earn money okay, it's just that I feel this two jackasses are only worth a combine RM1k+, and are no longer worth my time to even talk to...

and another thing that I need to clarify is that it's not that I can't get my money back, coz if I really wanted to, things will get pretty ugly. I know where these 2 liars live, I know where they work, I know where Johnathan's wife's kampung is, and I even know where his parents live... go figure...

my new deskstop wallpaper

thanks to paultan, I'm pleasuring my eyes everytime I switch on my office PC...


so so freakin' sexy...

my monitor died...

I went home a happy man after watching the Malaysian hot-shot mens double Koo Kien Kiat & Tan Boon Heong kicked the Danes' asses all over the Swiss Open Final on Sunday night.

Got home, switched on my monitor, and saw a few sparks coming from underneath it... shiet!! the screen never lit up, and after a few tries, with sparks coming on & off... sighh~~... the monitor confirm KONG-ed!!

bye bye monitor...

This monitor was actually bought in 1999, so after 8 good long years, it's actually about time for it to go to monitor heaven. The problem is that I can't use my PC period until I get myself a new monitor, and this time, it'll most probably be something like a 19" or 21" LCD... hehehe...

So for the mean time, I'm using my mum's laptop to hook up to the net and work (if I have to).

yea I know, my table is very the messed-up...

a newly renovated Crown Square

I was invited to attend the Sarawak Youth Association 13th Annual Dinner a couple of weeks ago. The dinner was held at Crown Square Kuching.

I have not been there for quite a long long time, and to my surprise, Crown Square actually underwent a major renovation and make-over. The shopping floor space has been expanded to almost twice the previous size, and it holds alot more shops.


This picture was taken from the top floor, where the dinner was held =)

Songs that I have been listening to recently...

my students recently asked me to help them download songs... so after bluetooth-ing those songs to them (lucky bunch... form 2 already got HPs), I listened to them, and actually liked a few... eventually these songs are now playing in my car as well... pretty soothing compared to the likes of Nelly's - Shake Ya Tailfeather.

1. 今天你要嫁给我 (陶喆&蔡依林)


2. 好想对你说 (何润东&张娜拉)


3. 是你决定我的伤心 (张玉华&李圣杰)


4. 梁山伯与茱丽叶 (曹格&卓文萱)

Ciggie Review - Huang Shan (黄山)

I opened the last of the three China ciggie today. The name is Huang Shan (黄山). Of all 3 packets, this one has the best packaging as well as design, that's why I leave it to the last. Taste wise, it tastes a hell lot better than the previous two, and it's very much similar to Dunhill Lights, but with a stronger taste.

solidly packed. good stuff =)

Ciggie Review - A Pen (一枝笔 )

yea you've read it correctly - it's not a typo mistake... there IS this brand called A Pen (一枝笔) from China. this is the second China pack that I opened, and it was during my CNY gambling marathon at my friend's house. started from 1030pm till 5.30am the next morning... and went for breakfast before going home to sleep...



and in that 7 hours, the entire pack of 20 sticks was finished... of course with the others taking one or two to try out. overall comment from the gang - not too bad... just that it still has the funny Chinese taste I mentioned in the previous China ciggie review.
