As of today, i have already resigned of my post in my current company and am just continuing work to serve my bond there...2 months... Frigging long and yea.. having resigned...i am currently looking for a new job...haha
Any recommendations or anyone wanna hire me?..haha... now thats getting desperate.. i'm not at the desperate level just yet, but i am now looking for another job hopefully being able to start in March next year...after CNY that is. However wont be really celebrating CNY due to the unfortunate event that happened last year...sigh. :(
Now thats aside, having making a slight income lately, i've been looking to ' revive' my aquarium and attempt to start over, petting ornamental fish, creating a landscape to 'house' them. Its been about a month and i would say, so far so good.. here are some images of it.. Rummy nose tetra and glowlight tetra school one of my angelfish.... The two Discus that i got about 2 weeks go... and a close up to one of them...
When the discus first arrive, they kept hiding and will not eat, which is worrying. Now they would even nibble the food of my hand as i feed them. :)
On another note....my mug don't those 2 words just describes 'life'?
At loooonnng last, after the promised 3 weeks; its been 3 months and i got my Tiger FC goodie bag. Its nothing much really, only have several pamplets, a membership card a poster and come other stuff that come with it.
Its nothing much really, its just with the season pass ( membership card), i get some invites or privileges when it comes to football viewing parties.
There are some of the stuff that comes with it The red card says.... , the yellow says... and finally the blue one says.... y is there even a blue card? lol
TigerFC rules.... 1. Football is never just a game. Thirst for winning means 1st is 1st and 2nd is nothing. Winning is everything and that's it. 2. If you're not sure, think it over with another Tiger Beer 3. Always celebrate the win with your fellow TigerFC teammates by buying them a jug of Tiger Beer 4. Any NON-FOOTBALL related conversation will lead to a free kick in the pants. 5. Drinking foreign substances such as wine, spirits and cocktail is a RED card offense. 6. Refs know the rules but not the game. Use your cards to show them how its done. 7. Always call for a substitute Tiger Beer as soon as yours reaches the halfway mark. Use the BLUE card included 8. Hard luck excuses is a YELLOW card offense. This attitude is FORBIDDEN 9. Any disputes are settled by the final score. The lose pays respect to the winner with a jug of Tiger Beer 10. Be sure to know your fixture list and attend practices regularly. Team commitment and passion build champions.
The biggest and perhaps the most watched football league in the world will have its first tonight. This is non other than the Barclays Premier League ( formerly known as the English Premier League)
this weekend round of matches pit the ' Big Four " against each other in the same weekend for the first time. After the round of appetizers over Saturday involving the other 16 teams, the main course of this weekend has just passed
First we have the match between Liverpool FC and Manchester United Live from Anfield. it finish 0-1. Carlos Tevez scoring.
and followed by the match between Arsenal and Chelsea Live from The Emirates. It finished 1-o with the goal coming from William Gallas.
Well, its been awhile since it was announced and all, but i just happen to came across this recently. So basically what it will mean is.. picture from lowyat.net
Apparently the Trade and Consumer's Affair Ministry are looking to impose a limit or maybe none what so ever to any Malaysians who download 'stuff' of the internet. A whopping fine of RM250k to RM 500k will be imposed to whoever who are caught doing so.
One may ask, do we even get fined if we download open source applications ( free stuff) off download applications such as bit torrents. Its absolutely absurd to literally track down every single downloader in the counrty.
Heck, as we all may know, softwares are not cheap to come by, costing at least RM100 for each application. Lets say a student needing several software to complete a certain assignment or pursue their studies, what option do they have but to get the software off downloads or even from a pirate source. Its not that their university or college will willingly supply all their students with the required software. Use the campus computer labs u say? Each campus may have, let say 200 computers at their labs, are they looking to cater over 500 students with the mere 200 computers. And , as a student myself previously, who starts works until about 10pm at night... will the computer labs still be opened? Cyber cafe's? will the computer's there have the software we require for our work? 99.9% does not even have MS Word.
An average Malaysian earns about rm30k p.a., how does the government expect them to pay the enormous fine this is imposing. Downloaders are more for private use and all; the government should actually looking in impose heftier fines to offenders such as rapist or robbers, even some public service personnel who are taking bribes; protecting the safety of the public. Downloaders will not go , " Damn i cant download this, i must kill someone". :)
As most downloaders may realize, the stuff that you download are actually shared from another source in the world. So by banning download, they are also in way banning sharing. Agree? They bought the stuff, they find it nice and look to share something good to everyone else around the world, we happen to came across it, curious and since they are sharing it, why not?
What they should be looking to do is actually crack down pirate VCD and DVD peddlers and as we can see its not really successful over the years. Trying to ban downloads? Its more like a dream. What if we actually payed for the software and download them, will we still get fined? lol
p/s will we still get fined if we download trial programs, which are meant to be free?
The group stages are done and we now have 16 teams left in contention for the biggest prize in club football in Europe, if not the world; given its prestige. Lots of unexpected stuff happened and as most will expect; the favorites made it through with much trouble.
So here are the group winners; arranged from group A -H. We have in order we have FC Porto (Portugal), Chelsea Fc ( England), Real Madrid ( Spain), AC Milan ( Italy), FC Barcelona (Spain), Manchester United ( England), Internazionale (Italy), Fc Sevilla (Spain)
and the group runner ups, we have in order we have Liverpool FC ( England), Schalke04 ( Germany), Olympiakos ( Greece), Celtic FC ( Scotland), Lyon ( France), AS Roma ( Italy), Fenerbahce (Turkey), Arsenal FC ( England)
draws for the last 16 will pit group winners against group runner ups. however teams from the same countries will not meet in this stage of the tournament; as well as groups that advance from the same group. So the possibility of a Thierry Henry return to the Emirates is high, even a rematch of the previous final between Milan and Liverpool. Those are some possibilities of the big matches we can expect from the UCL unless the draw suggest otherwise. All we need to do is wait for the draw which i think will be tomorrow.
And these are some of the teams that eveyone would expect to go through but disappoints. Valencia (Spain), SS Lazio ( Italy) and VFB Stuttgart ( Germany)
thou, its a shame that the likes of Juventus and Bayern Munich are not participating in the competition this year..
I've been looking for some good anime to watch lately...and happen to stumble upon this as i was at some anime blog.
Previously i was looking to watch
Eyeshield 21. Its some animation about american football. Quite interesting actually. But i read the mangas and the anime is lagging by quite a lot. i slowly find it kinda boring, the anime not the manga. So i kinda stopped watching this and just continue reading the comics..
Then came along Mobile suit Gundam 00
The plot from wikipedia.org :
"The series is set in the year 2307AD of the Gregorian calendar. During this time, fossil fuels became exhausted and the distribution of fuels became imbalanced. Humanity must rely on an array of solar power generation systems orbiting the Earth, and supported by three orbital elevators, each one pertaining to one of the three "major powers" on the planet.
With this infinite source of energy benefiting only the major powers and their allies, constant warfare around the globe for fuels and energy lead to the formation of a private military organization, called Celestial Being (ソレスタルビーイング,Soresutaru Biiingu?), dedicated to eradicating war with the use of four humanoid machines called Gundams.[1][3]
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 follows four mobile suit pilots termed Gundam Meisters ( ガンダムマイスター,Gandamu Maisutā?), sided with Celestial Being. The protagonist is 16-year old Setsuna F. Seiei (刹那・F・セイエイ,Setsuna F. Seiei?), a quiet, taciturn young man who grew up in the Kurdish Republic, and a Gundam Meister for two years. He pilots the GN-001 Gundam Exia, a high mobility mobile suit effective in melee combat.[6][7] "
One of the many gundam series and it lives up to it..so far....heck theres only 10 episodes so far. My personal opinion is that this series has quite an interesting storyline, so far at least. Really, if you are into anime and stuff, i would say this can be included in your collection for viewing and you will not be disappointed ( personal opinion)
this ithe the opening of the anime Daybreak Bell by L'Arc~En~Ceil
as you can see off the title...well, um basically i have nothing to blog about.
For the last few days or WEEKS for that matter, i have been thinking...thinking if should continue in my role in my current job. Ya, basically i was thinking about resignation.
I have lost the motivation to continue pursuing my career in the type of job field that I am currently in. Perhaps its due to the nature of job, which i don't think i will benefit experience wise unless it is counted as general working experience or if i choose to venture more into the same field, sure the experience of dealing with technical problems helps but i felt i've reached the 'ceiling' of that i can attain from here, technically; or maybe perhaps due to the weird working hours and time this job demand, weird hours = less sleep + (-night life) + less jams which may in one way or another affect my health ( due to lack of sleep) and having to work on public holidays (?) sure the extra leaves are good but whats so nice of more leaves where you are the only one not working while your friends are slaving away at their respective companies; but it is definitely due to the customers i have to face everyday. They gave me the extra stress that i can definitely do without. Sure some of them actually thanked you and showed their appreciation for a job well done, but most of them literally gets into your nerve. Yes sure most of them are computer illiterate, but at the same time, they must act all snobbish and will not listen to simple instructions. Even by explaining with the simplest of terms, they find it hard to understand. What i really hate was those who said we have a certain accent and have to act all racist and stuff. Likewise i dont really like those who have a strong mainland China chinese accent and middle eastern customers..if you ever have heard one, over the phone, 90% of the time your would wish someone could shoot you. Basically there are some, whom, given the chance, you can see them face to face, you told like to give them a real tightSLAP left, right and center.
I guess thats about it, i think i have though about this long enough and i have already come to my decision which is just about 80% underway. Sure the working environment is good and all but i don't feel that i can do much with this nature of job. I got opinions and all from friends and most of them gave their opinions which just about made my mind up about this decision. Not that i was influenced, but i was thinking about itlong and hard too. I never expected to stay in this job for long in the first place. I guess it too much of arushaccepting this job in the first place after all. Most calls for interviews came in when i as already in training for this job, kinda wasted the other opportunities.....sigh
If i were to job hop now, i can definitely forget about the Redang trip we were planning in March, unless my 'new employers' are generous, but not that i mind really. If this job change helps me decide my career path, then it is all worth it. Honestly speaking, i am still not very sure of what i really want yet, but it will definitely NOT as a programmer or a customer support personnel
thats all i guess
p/s: i may be open for some flak after this post...so whatever...
one of the stuff that happened between then and now as the visit to a little place right behind a place we fondly know as Jalan Alor...in case to those who don't even know Jalan Alor, its ummmm opposite Sg. Wang or Bukit Bintang....
if you still have any doubts, i suggest you get yourself a map of KL from your newspaper stall....
ok having that aside....this is the place.
located at Tengkat Tong Shin, which is behind Jalan Alor this place serves some what decent food if fine dining is your cup of tea....pretty affordable too..
a wide range of dishes from which you can select from, mostly grazed and cooked with a dash of alcohol, it really justifies the price you pay for the dishes. long story short la...its good....a bit costly but worth it.
went there with some of my colleagues for some department makan makan thing ler..
i dont exactly remember the name of the dishes but this are some of what we had that night lar..
Appertizers... Sliced duck breast salad with mozzarella cheese
Grilled Scallop Salad
Main Course Some seafood platter ( Norwegian salmon, some calamari, clams and prawns)
and theres to the steak but no pictures as the one who ate it was really hungry..lol
and the dessert: erm...Peach ice cream, some cake with fruit slices and warm chocolate souffle; which by the way tasted sinfully delicious when eaten with the ice cream.
To add to that a wide range of good wine which you can enjoy with enjoying the food.
Price wise Im not pretty sure as it was paid for, but the cost for 1 person reaches to about rm60+ ( appetizers main and desserts) Plus Max ( the owner) i suppose is a pretty friendly fellow. You can't miss him he is the bald fellow who will be preparing your food on the grill behind the bar..Yup you can see him and he cooks behind the bar, NOT in the kitchen.
IF you have the chance, and looking to whet your appetite with good fine dining at affordable price, look no more...
they are here Max Kitchen & Wines 27 Tengkat Tong Shin 50200 Kuala Lumpur 03-2141 8115
just a start to bring this back to life.... update; life sucks abit since the last post....stuff happens and am feeling kinda shitty now.
i am looking for stuff to blog lar....nothing interesting to blog about...
just a short update of what happened between, erm...ar...
its work work every day.. comtemplating for a job change
and went for the MCR concert last sunday....it was the bomb... din really took much pictures but will update when i got it...
on the lighter note.... jsut for laughs
