the road not usually taken...

heheheheyyy! (Krusty-like 'hey')



i was juz chilling, waiting for someone..and i was thinking about work and all..and i cant deny that despite the shittyness that comes with it, im one darn lucky employee within the workforce..



one of the things my colleagues just tak boleh tahan about me is that i dont need to put much effort into my daily travelling to work...



consider this...on a normal day, from my house to my desk would take about..erm..15 minutes..and most people i know travel from almost an hour to more than that to reach office!



the only real threat of a traffic jam is this 250 meter stretch road exiting my taman into the tebrau highway...i take this opportunity to curse OMEGA TUITION CENTER for posing this threat of jam to me...when kids finish tuition...that's when the traffic builds up..2 lane rd bcome 1 lane due to stupid parents parking in one lane waiting for their kids...i mean, dude...there's this decent parking lot juz behind the center where they could put some effort turning into to wait for the kids...sigh...



fact- this jam would delay travel time to between 20-30 minutes...



anyway...the coolest fact of the day is...i actually have an option to travel to work...without actually waiting for any traffic lights, and almost no chance of traffic jam...the only reason i would take this route tho, is when that friggin jam happens...this bcoz this trafficlightless route takes about 5 minutes longer to navigate compared the usual route on a normal day...and more turns are involved...



so...i conclude, that i am too spoilt in terms of the above bcoz not many actually enjoy this sorta convenience...and bcoz i took half a blog post to complain about the insignificant traffic jam that i have to endure once in awhile (well, actually no...i escape via the trafficlightless route when signs of jam surface)..



and why do i choose to arrive at office at 845 sharp (start of office hour)...not earlier??i cant figure that part out..

three cheers for the malaysian workforce who make it to work everyday!

the monster 6 feet under ate the rock

Hello world ^_^

Whoah..look at this place..pretty much dead..hehe..well, i've concluded that this is a side effect of the transition from being a full-time student to your friendly neighbourhood working malaysian...

not only that, life had also changed in terms of the setting it takes place in...very different place & environment the past & the present are...

do i hope that i will be reviving this blog?yes, i hope..but am i confident i will be posting more often?nahh...my next post will probably be in about 2 months time...or maaaaybe...next week?!hehe..i do hope that this post would take the burden of making a first post after many months off myself so that my next post wont look like a daunting task...

but then, why wud writing after so long become daunting?it shudnt be..unless there is some sort of pressure to deliver...pressure to deliver?heck..i write what i feel like writing, whenever i feel like writing it...perasan gila gua kalau rasa ade some sort of expectation out there about my writings! =P

anyway, im currently doing analysis of commercial & consumer credit proposal for public bank...in short, i process loans...yes, i work in a bank...i dont know what's up with some ppl that i've met...when they ask me where i work at..and after i've answered their question...they'd give that ''im surprised,i expected more from someone like you'' look (or most of the times, that short 'oh').

whateverlah..

so, a huge chunk of my life since my last post was work..work..and work...aside from that..i watched almost all man utd matches on weekends...i spend weekends either clearing up work at office and/or spending time with family...then there's the girlfriend time..hehe..before you know it...im almost 11 months in public bank already!(increment! increment! increment! increment!)

dudes, back then in uni, if i focused half as hard as how i do now at work...i'd probably be valedictorian...

every now & then, i think about random ideas that wud b cool if could be tried out...they range from cool restaurant concepts to great agenda for the nation!they are all inspired by the ongoing issues everywhere...from our own laughable political scene, to the economic crisis...to malaysian football..

take this for example, it was inspired during one of those days i cudnt stop cursing malaysian drivers (singaporean drivers included)...

i think we shud start a campaign encouraging people to honk or shout or, if you're driving a hummer, hentam saja those reckless drivers or those ignorant fools who, for example, stop at no stopping zones, troubling everyone else. or just ram into motorcycles who think we care for them soo much & wont dare hit them that they could ride dangerously.

i mean, of course we must be courteous & all...but hey, shit drivers deserve shit...these days, people who do the wrong thing are the ones scolding people who do the right thing on the road..wtf?salah ni beb...orang buat salah mesti ar tau malu...it's time we restore order!

ah well, i guess that is all for now...heck, i dont know why, but i still cant get over sydney & d memories there...to all my mates everywhere...miss u all!

SJKC Foon Yew 5, 6M 1997

Today was somewhat a hectic day...but it felt sooo good...

I went to the hospital earlier today to get a letter from the doctor...then decided to take the bus from the Sultanah Aminah hospital to the city centre...and just walked around...checking out my new work place (in a bout a month's time)...then boarded the bus back home (most probably my daily routine to-be)...

it was cool...i really am looking forward to starting work...hopefully i'd enjoy it...

chinese new year was awesome...hehehehe...i wont elaborate much on that point =)

so not long after i reached home from the city...i was preparing to receive a bunch of my primary school mates who decided to come to my place 'bai nian' (paying me a visit to celeb cny)...i havent seen some of them in years...it was fun...just talking about the past and the present...goss about other classmates...teachers...catching up...

then i deviated a bit from my original plan and followed them to visit two of my primary school teachers...again...it was just a wonderful time spent...more friends tagged along...and we just sat and talked and talked...

pictures will be posted once ive got them from my friend...

anyway...tomorrow im going to be staying in ward in the kulai hospital...and my procedure will be on the 13th...wednesday...i dont know yet when i will come back home...hopefully not too long staying in the hospital...hehehehe...

if anyone is free...do gimme a call or better, if anyone is in jb...drop by my place...i will be in crutches tho... =)

ciao!

Bananas are an excellent source of potassium!

so it's been a bit more than 2 weeks since ive returned home...and ive watched the simpsons movie again...twice...hehehe...

at first glance...it might seem that i havent been doing anything....but i dunno...life feels busy...hahaha...maybe im imagining it all to feel good about slacking...but eitherway...i have been running quite a bit of miscellaneous errands...going to pasar on weekends...u know, with chinese new year coming..it gets kinda busy there...

what's the price like u ask??

ikan bawal cepak/tambak (tao tui/dou chang) ranges from 45 ringgit seekor (NOT per kg) for those near half a kg in weight...to about 130 ringgit seekor for those huge ones...ang ka tua he (udang kaki merah)...the super huge ones are 80 ringgit per kg...ikan bawal putih (bai chang) is about 75 ringgit per kg for the huge ones (about 4-5 of em per kg)...

yes yes...they are expensive...u can argue that they used to be so and so..but like what my brother argues back, "dulu polis pun pakai seluar pendek"...

BUT...these are all local stuff from pontian waters...people who eat fish knows these are the best places to get them...sure...u can get cheap ones imported but are they as nice? for chinese new year...for steaming purposes...for the big dinner or any meals...surely, only the best should be served =) it's worth every penny i tell ya...

i have been following my bro to gelang patah to go pick up prawns to be sold at our place...one day we had to wait for a long time for the dealer to arrive..so we decided to go on a lil journey to the end of the kampung (very deep into the kampung)...all the way to where the sea is...since it is a bit too far...ive decided to turn on gps to see if there's a short cut...and THERE IS! so we followed it...and got to our destination much faster than usual...

so ive decided..if i own a gps company...i will use the tagline "Travel Like A Local" ...(hehehe...copyrighted ok)...coz really, only locals would know that short cut...

anyway...i start work at public bank johor bahru head office on the 17th of march...it was supposed to be 18th of feb...but i have to undergo surgery on the 13th of feb to remove the metal plate in my left ankle (which got inserted 3 years ago when i broke my leg)...and i would need 1 month to get off the crutches...meaning...1 month will be spent walking with crutches...crap...

that is all from me then...u all out there take care!
