My hands has the smell of prawns

Ate some prawns for dinner just now. Now listening to the song "Hero" by Mariah Carey. Love listening to old songs like this one. I remember singing this song for some event long ago during my high school club activity...

What is somewhat embarassing about this memory is that none of us can sing the high notes... Haha...

Yesterday went to visit Great Grandma and Grandparents' graves. And this year, like other year, we all chipped in money to buy lottery numbers... and this year, we did win a bit... Consolation prize!! Hehe... I havent go to get the money yet. So, shareholders, please wait patiently. The Toto shop is closed when I arrived there. :p

Err... went to check out Chung Hua School Concert. It was nice to watch... But I didnt remember it to be so chinese-ly... I thought there will be some English going on...

Erm... One thing I have noticed when I was watching the concert... last time I never watch the conductor conducting because I always focus on the people who play the instruments... Guess after watching Nodame Cantabile, the conductor become a very interesting person to watch. I think those members actually look at the music score most of the time and will only look at the conductor to see when to start and stop... :p
Actually, I tried to remember what was going on during the concert while I was watching it...But, I have forgotten it all. Should get gingko biloba to improve my memory. Getting pretty forgetful these days.

Erm... Got to be studying. Left only one month to cramp everything in. I havent really study yet. Darn... Havent apply for leave also... Argh...

Ginger-ly

Just discovered something that I has been ignoring for a few days. This thing is a piece of paper lying at the frontyard. I ignored it because I thought it is some sort of useless paper that Dad has dropped there. Another reason why I didnt bother with it is because the weather has been rainy and so the paper was wet and then the weather is so sunny that it dried the paper.... So, I picked up the paper just now and... it is from MCC (Miri City Council).

Guess what? It is about getting dog licence for home dogs. Erm... I am not sure if everyone receive this as well but if I am the only house that receive this, then this means that MCC has misunderstood that the two dogs that have been 'hanging out' outside of my house are my dogs! Sigh... Why the dog owner dont want to let the dogs into the houseyard? Now I get mistaken as the dog owner....

Anyways... on Thursday night, I cooked Chicken Soup with Wine. The soup for Mee Sua....Erm... and ate it on Friday night... It has a 'hot spicy' after-taste, which everyone thought is due to the amount of wine I poured in the soup (about half a bottle)... But my parents just confirmed with me just now... Err... We finished the soup during our dinner just now.. That is not due to the wine... It is because... gosh.. this is embarassing... too much ginger la. The amount of ginger, according to my mum, should be only about one third of what I put in it. Sweat... Paise la... First time cook this and I thought need a lot. My dad, at first, thought the ginger is potato and felt strange about it already... manalah tahu it is actually ginger and so much somemore... Haha...
Erm... The Mee Sua is not the only thing we had on Friday night. We also had Duck with Salted Veggie soup. Very salty soup....

Erm... I am not sure if I have mentioned this before but I really would love to get a LG Viewty. I love the fact that it has a 5 megapixel camera feature and... it is a touch screen phone... My main concern before tonight was that whether the phone has the Chinese character writing feature and a good alarm system. I tried out the phone just now at a phone shop... It has Chinese character writing but I didnt try out the alarm... Erm... really dont know how to explore a phone to find out if it is ok or not. But there is this thing. I am guessing that it is because I dont know how to close it and the guy who served me also dont know how so I kept feeling that it is annoying that the menu is always showing. I want to see the wallpaper when I am not doing anything with the phone. Guess I will have to either figure out how to show the wallpaper or live with it when I buy the phone. Now... I need to work out a saving plan for this phone. Hmmm.... Hard lo.... Main concern starting from tonight is how to get the money to buy this phone le...

The hell-ish assignment is finally 'sort of' over. There was a final last minute change to the whole thing that caused me to feel extremely annoyed.

Tomorrow, need to wake up early to go visit Great Grandma's and Grandparents's graves...

Good night.

Insomniac

I am afraid that I might turn into a bit of insomniac...

I cant sleep at this moment... so... I actually have something that I need to blog about but first I need to take pics of it... but the new digicam is with yuanz and the old digicam is with my dad. So I only has my handphone which I dont want to use because I want to take clear pics of this 'it'...

Have to wait till Sunday for the digicam to be back..perhaps digicams to be back... haha...

Ah! Just now at around 10pm, I was cooking red wine chicken soup... for eating mee sua.. will take a pic tomorrow morning... Going to eat it tomorrow night together with Duck Cooked With Salted Veggie. Yummy....

Gee... really should get some sleep. Already stressed enough.

Oyasuminasai!!

Crying my eyes out

Finally finished watching One Litre of Tears... Cried so much at the final half an hour... My eyes felt so refreshing after crying... Hehe...

Sort of let out some of my frustration....

Today has been a stressful day... so stressed out that I kept muttering curses...

Anyways, yesterday, went to this temple at Krokop to do some praying rituals... It was, erm, a new experience for me. I am actually looking forward to the upcoming praying ritual event in April.

Ah... my TRICK singles have not arrived yet... When?!?!?

Right now, repeatitively listening to the three songs from One Litre of Tears OST... Just found out this afternoon that the singer for the main theme song is actually born in Korea, but not sure if he is a Korean...

Halo...

This seems to be a really late post of my trip to Halo Cafe... Why? 'Cause my companions have posted their post on it already and it has been up for a few days...Refer lynnx, lingdi, and christine. Shall I blame it on the lack of time?

Erm... I guessed that you can read from their posts what happen...what we eat...etc...

Currently... thinking of the events that happened this whole week... Not very significant things but they all matters... Little little things...

My work stress is still on. The hell-ish assignment no. 1 is still on-going. I had a two and a half hour long discussion with the client this afternoon. The problems were highlighted and discussed about. The amendment and finalisation will be done on Monday. Cant wait for it be done with.

The hell-ish assignment no. 2 is currently in its semi-final stage. I can't discuss about this at all.

Been working on both public holidays...Sad, yeah... Today, I find myself can't remembering what day is today. After the long afternoon discussion with the client of hell-ish assignment no. 1, I was so blur and tired that I cant remember what day is tomorrow and found myself giving a relief sigh when CMF told me that tomorrow is Sunday. Pardon me but... Halleluyah! I am so relieved... An off day. Finally!

I think I should get some sort of fengshui stuff for myself this year. So far, it has been a rough start for this year. I seems to meet with so many obstacles and difficulties. I thought my bad year should be gone already. In fact, I dont feel that 2007 was such a bad year when it was supposed to be a bad year.

Studying for CPA is, so far, stagnant. I should be BenKio-ing but... too many things too little time.

Plus, I have some problem with having not enough sleep and a back pain as well...

Then... recently I am quite into Japanese language... Possibly because I have been drowning in One Litre of Tears... the super sad and emo Japanese series... Lingdi wanted to watch it so I downloaded it and then decided to watch it as well. Watched it before on tv but missed most of the episodes...

And... I have, finally, found and downloaded the song '永遠に' by The Gospellers. Been looking for it for the past one or two weeks. Finally. So happy. Hehe.... Japanese song... I am truly very much into Japanese stuff these days....

Note: I hope I am not wrong. BenKio should mean 'study' in Japanese.

Losing it

My apologies to those that I might have offended today...

I was over-stressed by my current assignment.... that I was not a pleasant person today.

To be honest, I am still a bit ... stressed now.

Hopefully a good sleep will help to de-stress me.

Good night

New look

After 7 years of wearing the same glasses, I decided that it is time to change. I got thru wearing my old glasses by wearing contact lenses. In fact, I got so used to wearing contact lenses till I feel weird wearing glasses.

I remember there was once a friend who said that the glasses that are like mine is so outdated. I wasnt wearing my glasses at that time. But I felt so embarrassed. I knew that my old glasses is so old fashioned. Maklumlah, I have it for seven years already.

Finally, I decided that it is time to get a new pair of glasses. yea... Had CMF to go with me when I go shop for it. Erm... Tried so many pairs. This is the one I felt most comfortable wearing. the rest was either not comfortable, too bright, too small, too over the top... I have fun wearing the glasses... but somehow, I still feel that my old glasses is so comfortable... I feel comfortable messing with it. Thus, I have decided that the new glasses will be my 'fashion' glasses. Glasses that I wore when I went out to meet with people. In fact, this made me want to get a few more pairs of different style so that I wear different type each time. Hehe...
Tried out the new digital camera but my aim and hand were shaky so.. the pic turned out blur... But I like the look of my hair like that... Erm... Hehe... :p

Overwhelmed...and shocked

Kind of overwhelmed with the amount of work that I have now.... Seems like I will not be able to complete it all. Part of the reason is because I was unwell last week. So... my progress was really slow.

Feel like the work is piling up on me... Gosh... I am very worried.

Then... just now, I clicked on the March 2007 link... out of the blue... and discovered that my Goong craze is a year ago. Huh?! So fast already one year? Gosh....

Erm... Should be sleeping now. Still need to work tomorrow... Must try to complete the urgent one by Wednesday.

Hwaiting!!!

Through all eternity - 永遠に

I am currently very addicted to this song. I think it is by The Gospellers, a Japanese accapella group.

I kept watching the video of various artists performing this song at the Music Fair. It sounds so familiar but I cant pinpoint when I have ever hear this song before. It is weird 'cause Joanna also thought the same. Anyways, here is the music video by The Gospellers

Erm... at the comments for this video, someone said that the song means 'Forever' then the online translator I used to translate '永遠に' states that it means 'Through All Eternity'.... It means the same anyways....

I am not sure why I am addicted to it now... Even gone to the extent of converting it into audio so that I can put it into my handphone. Ohye... this is the video of the song being sung by various artist at the Music Fair....

Guess you should know how exactly I stumbled upon this song. :p

Acute gastro-enteritis

Short form is A.G.E.
Caused by eating food cooked by someone who has this A.G.E.
Sympton of A.G.E. is diarheaa.

Not to worry... I am not venturing into the medical world. It just that I am currently having such illness.

Apart from that, I am also having sore throat... with thick greenish mucus... Gross isnt it?

Feel so shitty at the moment. Dizzy due to lack of sleep... because I woke up so many times to go to toilet. Or possibly because of the combo of sore throat and diarheaa, I havent eaten anything yet.

Polling agent..Election...

Election Day is on this Saturday (8.3.2008)... and I have volunteered to be the polling agent...What is a polling agent? Basic idea is to sit in the voting room and make sure that there is no impersonation of identity...

Hehe...

Err... Last night I attended this dinner by MCCCI (Miri Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry) and got two people accompanying me at night... overnight at my place.... all sleep in the living room...

I should be sleeping now.. very sleepy... OT at office has started... The busy life is going to start again...

Goodbye social life... Hello working life!

The cursed one

Not really la.. But many has tried but failed or has given up.... It is given by Uncle Goh and family... Should be very nice and tasty... I have put it on the coffee table since they given it to me and intend to eat it when I have the mood to (?)

Since then, it has attracted a number of people to eat it... They tried to open it but couldnt... hehe.. it is kind of funny to see them trying and cant open it and then give up.. hahaha...

Maybe it is meant for me to eat only. hahaha

Erm.. in case you are wondering why is there suddenly a rush of posts today... it is because i am not watching CSI and I am really doing my work and this is an in-between break from work... anything to keep me going 'cause work is boring...

gasp! realised that i have this tag thingy that i havent done yet.. i am not sure where is tag btw... err.. hehe...

Emergency post

As I was chatting to Lynnx while taking a break from my work, I suddenly hear a very familiar cracking sound... I looked to the kitchen and saw... FIRE!!!

Fire at the outside of my house compound. The empty land at the back of my house has a lot of dry grass... and it is on FIRE!!

Kind of remind me of the fire behind my office building...

Ermm... the uncle living next to the empty land burn the dry grass...and he is controlling the fire with a water hose in his hand... phew... Dont blame him. He is just trying to make sure the empty land is maintained (easier to walk on, got a bit of agriculture going on...dont waste the land la...)

No pic though... Dont want him to see me take pic... Also dont want him to see me and want to/obliged to talk to me...

Current status... all is smoke.. I am hiding out of sight.

Lagging again

No, I am not referring to the Internet connection though it has been sort of sucky some time in the past few days. I am referring to my Internet activities. I was lagging way behind on my blog reading and forum activity due to many nights of dinners, games and CSI watching. Then I caught up with it all and even posted a blog post, which was another thing that was lagging behind.

And this moment, my forum activity is getting delayed again. Erm...This time is due to work and CSI:NY. Cant stop watching CSI...

Ohya! Eiffel Tower... I really don't know how to capture scene from video so I don't know how to show the significance of this Eiffel Tower key chain. Yuanz actually got me two gold Eiffel Tower key chains that is more expensive than the rest of the Eiffel Tower key chains he got from his Paris trip. But I exchanged one of the more expensive gold key chain for this cheaper silver one... Why? 'Cause this looks more like that one I wanted.

Why? How come?! Dong Bang Shin Ki aka Tohoshinki went to Paris last year and Hero Jaejoong bought a few similar Eiffel Tower key chains. Hahah.... Big Sweat? Tell you one more Big Sweat info - I was sort of disappointed when I saw that the gold Eiffel Tower key chain doesn't really match the one Jaejoong holding. The chain part is different. The one above is almost the same. Haha.... I know this is too much...Don't hate me.

But if you think that how I can be so obsessed.... I have actually done this obsessive thing before and I think I still have the items... hold on, let me check... ok, I threw away the McD cup but i still have the bottle.

What is the significance of this bottle? Mei Zhuo was holding this water bottle in one of the scenes of the once-very-popular Taiwanese drama series, Meteor Garden. Who the **** is this Mei Zhuo? He is one of the characters in Meteor Garden and the actor is Vanness Wu. Yes, I was once obsessed with F4. Gosh... Cant believe I say it out here. Someone will probably laugh at my face when he read this... The water bottle is a bit used and dusty 'cause I actually had used it before and then it sits in the room collecting dust. :p

Enough of this... Erm... Read something interesting just now... Thought u guys might enjoy it too... It is about Beijing Olympic Mascots.

Bah... Need to get back to work. Probably need to drink another round of coffee later. Slept at 4.15am and woke up at 10.30am. Erm...Should be enough sleep, right?
