Midnight Post

Just finished chasing after the 24 acts of Initial D stage 4 anime, started since afternoon with some breaks here and there. Very interesting indeed.

Time to get some sleep. Got some plans lined up for tomorrow today. Will be having a karaoke session with some ex colleagues in the evening. Some way to end the year huh :P

PS: Finally managed to fix up my PC which has been acting up on me for the past month. (Been procrastinating to fix it :P). These few days have to find some time to transfer out some of my personal stuffs from the company notebook.

PS2: Wanted to blog about a picture but photobucket refuses to load, probably have to wait till next year liao :P

2006 最后一个工作日

好久没打中文了，就让这篇 "Post" 为二零零六年的最后一个工作日画上一个句点吧。

今天，办公室里每个人都“无心恋战”，大家都期待着周末的到来。午餐时老板还请了我们吃比萨，算是慰劳大家一年来的努力，兼庆祝圣诞。今天也是公司里我一个非常要好得同事最后一天上班。我呢，看来非要等多两个月左右吧。

难以想象，再过两天就是二零零七了。又一年过去了。今年好像没什么进步，希望明年能多多加油。

大家一起努力加油吧！

Five Things You Don't Know About Me

Aiya... usually I don't do tags... but since it's from my buddy, the sleek and sexy slenz, give her a bit of face lor... :P

1) I don't like tags and usually I don't respond to them
2) I usually leave comments at some blogs using the nick "phangan"
3) I'm a matured person and a pretty good listener
4) I'm the type who would find out how something works rather than just get fascinated by it
5) I still don't quite like tags... (hahahaha...) I always give people the first impression that I'm cool and quiet, but actually I can be quite sporting and talkative once I warmed up a bit :D

(edit: kena scolded by may, said I cheated >_<, so have to change number 5 :P)

Since I don't like tags myself, I will not pass on to anyone else. But you're welcomed to continue the tag if you want. :P

Work Stuff

Went to customer site today to check on the testing stage of a pre-implementation and also update some modules of the new system. To my surprise, I found out that there are still quite a number of bugs here and there.

This project was supposed to be handled by a colleague and I'm just assisting a minor part of it as I got other projects at hand. Luckily, I managed to settle most of the bugs on the spot and the customers are quite happy with it.

That fella has been on site for like ages, at least like 4-5 months. Sometimes I really wonder what has he been doing there. And then when he's back in the office, always see him surfing web or playing games. Even few of my colleagues who had worked with him have been complaining to me about him.

Anyways, I'm leaving the company soon, just wanna kautim my responsibilities and have a proper handover. Don't really wanna care much about it. :D

Happy Holidays to All

Wishing everyone Happy Christmas and Merry New Year :)

It's about time you all start thinking about New Year Resolutions... same goes to myself.

Car Alarm

For the past few months my junk car's alarm has been acting strangely, particularly during arm and disarm. Sometimes it locks the car just fine, while other times it just doesn't. Lately things started to get worse, and the locking unlocking started getting more erratic, so I decided to ask my friend at the car accessory shop to check it out. At the time I was thinking, "darn, need to spend money liao...".

Turns out that the circuitry inside the alarm box was kinda loose and the solder was wearing off. Since I have the soldering tools, I decided to open up the alarm box and resolder all the joints that has gotten loose. So I just told my friend that I'll "kautim" it myself, and headed home. Once back, I heated up the soldering tool and opened up the alarm box. Then I started securing all the bad joints. After a couple of minutes, I plug the box back in the car, and viola, the alarm works like a charm again. ^_^

Changing Job Soon

Just tendered in my resignation letter today (copied and modified from some website sample :P)...

Dear Sir,

Please accept this letter as formal notification that I am resigning from my position with [edited] on December 22, 2006.

Thank you for the opportunities you have provided me during my time with the company. Be assured that I will do all I can to assist in the smooth transfer of my responsibilities before leaving.

Very the common thing hor? :P You all are welcomed to copy and use as you see fit if such need arises. ;)

And my new job? Some consultant kinda job... Main task is to CONsult others... muahahahahaha *evil laughter*

But then, dunno have to serve notice period for how long... need to check next week. >_<

Wewechu

One beautiful evening Ah Beng and his girlfriend Ah Lian were sitting by the side of the ocean.
It was a romantic full moon, when Ah Beng said "Lian, come lar we play Weeweechu."

"Aiya, don't want la... let's just look at the moon" said Ah Lian.
"Oh, c'mon lah, let's play Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Ah Beng begged.

"But I just want to hold your hand and see the moon."
"Please lah, just one time, play Weeweechu with me."
Ah Lian looked at Ah Beng and said, "OK lah, we play Weeweechu."

HEREBY WISHING MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Songs Related to Christmas

To keep up with the spirit of Christmas, I'm also joining the bandwagon to blog something with a Christmas theme... :P

So, one of the things that make Christmas special is the songs related to Christmas.

For some reason, usually the first song that came into my mind when you talk about Christmas, is Wham!'s Last Christmas. (A sample, my version :P) I think most likely it's because the lyrics have the keyword "Christmas" there, so automatically you'll relate it to Christmas.

In actual fact, if you look at the lyrics, it doesn't have much to do with Christmas, except that the guy got rejected upon showing interest to a girl DURING Christmas time... :P

Loving You (is easy cause you're beautiful)

Originally by Minnie Riperton, there's a version of this song lately by Hong Kong singer Justin. One of the tough part about this song is at the octave change. Even the Taiwanese variety show 齐天大胜 previously tested the guest artists on it.

I've always wanted to attempt this.

PS: Listen at your own risk. I will not be held liable if you get deaf, fainted, nauseated, vomit, or go insane :P:P:P

PS2: Sound quality a bit cacat because using notebook built in mic

Dilemma

(Music of Nelly's Dilemma playing in the backgroud) :P

I'm having a case of dilemma due to limited resources and unlimited wants.
I'm currently pondering of getting an imaging device (read: camera), but then again, I have a choice of either upgrading to a decent camera phone (hereby referred as CP), or just get a digital camera (hereby referred as DC)
Of course, the best choice will be getting both, but then pocket ($$$) can't support.

Things I'm weighing
1) I would like something small and compact so I can carry it wherever I go (CP, DC)
2) I prefer something with somewhat high optical zoom (DC)
3) I didn't really want to venture into prosumer/DSLR due to the size and mainly the cost
4) Thinking of upgrading my 2-year-old phone probably next year (CP)

At this point, if money is not a constraint, best choice would be a decent 2-3mp CP (Nokia N-series, SE K-series... those with AF), complemented by a high zoom DC (Caplio R5, Lumix TZ1)

Maybe I should just get a cheap cheap SE K750 first, then wait and see. The CP market is likely to hit 5-7mp range next year after Nokia launches it's 5mp N95, while I'm really hoping to see a successor to TZ1 (I've read that the current Venus engine does too much NR, and on long end of the zoom it's not that clear).

Jalan-jalan at Sungei Wang

Yesterday kena "kidnapped" by my friend to go jalan-jalan in Sg Wang plaza... the place was pretty jam packed (as usual). There was this GreenBox + Halo organized event at the 4th floor open air car park area where fans can line up and get their CDs signed by a couple of artists (Jeff Chang, A-do, JJ etc etc...).

Erm... I also don't really know how to continue this post. Hehe.

Let's see...

*flash back*

Well, this friend of mine, fell for a girl who used to sing in those Halo cafes. I know the girl too because we were having "yum cha" with another friend at that time.

Wait, chup. Just to make it clear, this is not a story about 2 good friends falling for the same girl. So don't start jumping into conclusions... hehehehe

Well, continuing from where I left the story, so after knowing that girl, my friend just thinks that "she's the one!" and start going after her, quite aggresively I'd say. Even to the point which I'd describe his actions as "stalking". Yes, it's that bad. I've adviced him not to do too drastic measures as it might scare the girl away, but he didn't really took my advice. And true enough, the girl asked me why is he like that, and thinks he is kinda freaky.

And so she started to kinda avoid him. But anyways, she was destined for stardom and very soon she left for Taiwan to jumpstart her singing career, and we sort of lost touch after that. My friend was quite devastated I think.

*That was 2 years ago... I think. That's what he told me la, because I didn't really keep track of the time*

*fast forward to yesterday*

Well, there she was, on the stage, signing autographs together with a couple of other celebrities on the stage...

*sigh...* I dunno what to say...

Another Bloggers' Dinner Meet-up

Today, joined the "liu liu" bunch of bloggers for dinner, consisting of the liu liu lui yan (the guest of honor), liu liu angel, ms Tan, sengkor, chui yee, jason, liu liu ahmay and tattoo man nel (edit: thanks to angel for chui yee and jason's link). Had the dinner over at Restaurant King Crab in Kelana Jaya opposite the LRT across the road. The meet up was supposed to be at 8, but many were late due to bad traffic conditions and rain.

Ordered quite a number of dishes, including crabs (yes, crabs AGAIN) in butter sauce and in marmite sauce, some pai kuat (pork ribs), salad tofu, frogs, stir fried lin ngau (莲藕) and oatmeal prawns. (Again, for pictures, visit the links above for more info and updates :P)

The company was really great and we chit chatted until almost 11pm when the restaurant is ready to close. Then we adjourned over to KTZ in SS2 for some desert, where the liu liu hot chick winn showed up and joined us. We continued the chit chatting until about 1am before we decided to call it a day.

Great bunch of people to hangout with ^_^

(edit: whoa liao, I just wrote this at about 3+am last night, today 8am I woke up and I see comments already :P)

Dinner with bloggers

Had a dinner gathering with a bunch of bloggers since the lui yan is in town. Participants include Jellyikan, Sian girl, Agus, and Sbanboy. We went to a seafood restaurant recommended by Sian girl. The place, she claims, is famous for their claypot butter sauce crabs.

We ordered the all so famous butter sauce crabs, salted egg crabs, some vege, claypot tofu, yam and pork thingy (forgot the name), and of course, lui yan's fav dish, fried sotongs... hahaha (luckily every one behaved and nobody gets sotong piaks).

Before the food arrives, Jelly and Sbanboy already unsheathed their Canon 350D and began snapping pics. Lui yan and Sian girl also "mm chap shue" (didn't get left behind). One armed with Minolta DiMage X50, while another with Nokia N91, both joined in the picture snapping frenzy as the food arrives one by one.

(Note: for more information and maybe some pictures, visit the blog links above, most likely lui yan will post some pictures of the foods) :P

Spam

This a post specially dedicated to lui yan ...

Extracted from Wikipedia:
Quote: "The term spam is derived from the Monty Python SPAM sketch (see video in External Links), set in a cafe where nearly every item on the menu includes SPAM luncheon meat. As the server recites the SPAM-filled menu, a chorus of Viking patrons drowns out all conversations with a song repeating "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM... lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM," hence "SPAMming" the dialogue. The excessive amount of SPAM mentioned in the sketch is a reference to British rationing during World War II. SPAM was one of the few foods that was widely available." Unquote
