My very special day indeed!

On half day leave, but left office at nearly 3pm.Appointment with Ono at 2pm but cant make it as colleague asked me to go back office again, at that time i was with the Telekom, Streamyx guy at Boon Siew. Went up office, colleague are so kind, bought me a peppermint cake from the bakery in front of Cititel. After tasted the cake, went straight up to Ono. Chill'in half an hour there, waiting Ono to get his feel of his art, before hitting the design on my left arm.
Of course, there is meaning for my tattoo design and the way it is located on my left arm. Its a tribal Leo sign, which will reminds me as a born of Leo, has to be strong in any situation, be confident; like Lance Armstong wristband motto "Live Strong" and the meaning of putting the tattoo on my left arm was that i am a right-handed,so left means the weaker side of me.As for my past, i was weak, low self-esteem.
The time was 4pm when Ono started to draw the main outline on my arm, jazz music was played in the background while doing the tattoo, after many correction here and there, finally came out what i wanted! It is a totally awsome fine art work,simply a piece of art! To describe the feeling doing a tattoo, its simply an enjoyable experience and its not painful, just that have to sit still which i nearly fall asleep.Refer to the tattoo process pictures that i captured using my mobilecam.
Everything done at 6.15pm, Pauline and Sue came visit, Sue was tempted to do but couldn't think of any design yet.After that picked up Pauline at her house. Went Eco Cafe, Chulia street (where used to be at Ono place) for dinner, it was really relaxing and nice dinner we had there. Nice pasta and Pizza! Very Surprisingly, she bought me a cheese cake with candles and special request 2 cherries (she said so it wont looks so plain) from the Japanese cheese cake at Gurney Plaza.. No word can express how happy i was at that moment, its been such a long time i didnt have this birthday feeling.Oooh my... X-) In fact, I was the first one who had my birthday there at Eco Cafe! Next, what was even surprising she bought me a gift and birthday card!! Ohh my.. She bought me a ty soft toy, Opie the octopus (totally cute baby octopus with blue little eyes) and a sweet birthday card. I nearly cried.. i was totally thrilled and touched! Couldn't believe i have such a surprise on my bday.Went to meet with her 3rd sister at Secret Recipe which was an unprepared situation ;p Thanks very much.. Pauline! You are so sweet, made what i believe on my 'special day not so special' into an awsome colourful day!

Nothing so special on my eve of my special day 22

Well.. nothing much goin on with my so call eve of my b'day.Went Gurney drive to have dinner with Pauline,hang out at her house.Comes to thinking, is it really matter that on this day, you should go out and celebrate !?! Parrrttiieee, get drunk?!? Most people concept on a birthday,it has to be very special and make it 'big',celebrate. .As always being a loner,(not so sad,anyway) it doesnt really matter to me now, just passed it like any other ordinary days.Surprisingly, received that naive crazy girl, Amelia sms greeting and Cherrian. LOL! :-D What tha hec! Anyway, i'm excited getting my first tattoo tomorrow ;)

China horror movie sucks!

Went for a movie,(movie day at GSC) watched 'The Ghost Inside', thinking it was a good thriller/horror movie from a China director, the movie is in mandarin.. LOL! The movie really sucks! It was so freaking bored and the cost of the movie is damn cheap, it was just a few scene they shot on. At least the 'Bug me not' (Cantonese) by Twins is much better than this crap.

Out of the ordinary

Went over to my office's customer, Bee Chin Heong at Kimberly Street.They are selling those chinese praying stuff. I was outside taking puff and took these nice pic.. tell me what u guys think.. (i especially like the one painted in yellow, as its like , hey! i'm unique and i'm out of the ordinary ) See those checked floor, those are the corridor.

Inside custard apple

This is how Custard apple looks like when it is not ripe. . .How i wish to eat custard apple again...

Matta Fair for backpacker ?

After work went Matta fair,PISA with Pauline, she wanted to get air ticket to Australia.When we were on our way to PISA, a massively heavy rain.was surprised to met with Paul and Vivian there...Pauline got her trip information, there was not much discount on 1 person air ticket, offer best at least 2 person. In the arena, it was full of people, a nice experience being there, feeling more like an exibition to me, as we have to pay RM5 to get in.A few tour agencies set up big booth with many counter for customer,it was something which you would never see it during pc fair. Thinking how i wish to go backpacking...

Clearer Vision..

Went to collect my specs with Paul and Vivian :-) Finally, got my vision corrected, my eyesight is not that serious, just Myopia.. Tomorrow is Matta Fair... well, doesn't mean much to me, unless you wanted to get travelling package at a lower price (Pauline waiting for it) ;-)

Custard apple:Annona reticulata

Found out there is a custard apple's tree in front of Pauline's house...i realise not many people know about this fruit though, i tasted this fruit before in Kedah at one of my uncle's house, thats when i was in primary school. Google it and found some interesting fact about the fruit ......
The Custard-apple (Scientific name: Annona reticulata), also known in English as bullock's heart or bull's heart. It is a small deciduous or semi-evergreen tree reaching 10 m tall. The leaves are alternate, simple, oblong-lanceolate, 10-15 cm long and 5-10 cm broad. The flavor is sweet and pleasant.

Massive monday traffic jam...

I was stuck in Jelutong highway for nearly about an hour, it was a massive traffic jam! luckily i have magazine in my car, so its better to read some article then wasted time sitting in the car doing nothing at all; every single car was seem to go to the same direction, heading to town; even there were two traffic police there which cant do anything, just remain standing beside the traffic light, i used the other alternative way though (Jln P.ramlee) or else i would be stuck there for even longer time; boss ordered 2 Star Wars lightsaber (Anakin is blue in colour and red for Darth Vader) from Wilfred, arrived today, each costs about rm500+ which at first i was so tempted to ask Wilfred to buy too but at last gave it a details thought, its not worth spending rm500+ for this collectible... No way. Weather was moody in late afternoon, which suites today, monday....

Asher got the hotspot!

A hotspot surfing competition organised by Gerakan Rakyat was held at Northam beach; Asher and Azhari took part in the competition; Paul and me just sitting beside helping them out a little bit; At last Azhari got the consolation prize and our man.. Asher got the first prize which is 500 cold hard cash + a trophy; we approached the owner of Northam beach, he agreed to allow us to use the place to have mydefcon meeting; went for the Initial-D movie at MegaPavilion, Prangin Mall with Pauline, met her best friend Karen and bf,Daniel; the movie was pretty impressive on its sound and motion effects, i like especially the blow-off valve sound; went to eat 'La Mien' which is the one behind Burmah House, although the noodles and the way they cook was different from last time but its still nice; had an awsome nice sms chat with her at night ;-)

Woohoo! We are sailing..

Got invited by Paul to go Catamaran at Penang Swimming Club, rushed all the way to Batu Feringghi ,got there at 3:40pm. Overall, it was so exciting and fun to sail a Catamaran, Paul knows so much on these, taught us how to sail , what and when to hold and release, know the wind of direction. Thanks Paul for all the fun! Reach home at 7:30pm. Immediately after that went out again, a wonderful night out with her, had the best Tandoori in town for dinner, went Ono but he was outstation,gonna ask him about my tattoo design , an open/sincere chat on a hill side ,discovered never seen before night view of Tanjung Bungah housing area (Bukit Mutiara).. . .hope the beautiful night would stay longer..

Levi's bro..

Received a DHL package from Hong Kong, without opening it, i already knew the content, its gotta be Matsunichi mp3 player. Find it funny on how they packed those mp3s by placing them like sardin/sushi in a lunchbox.
After work, had dinner with Paul and sister (Vivian) at WongKok, actually went there for this optical shop V.Care, as i wanted to get suggestion from vivian to make my specs and coincidentally Paul wanted to make a specs too. Been told by Paul and Vivian that those frames in V.Care actually is cheap in cost, maybe ordered from HK, not branded and quality is not worth paying for.So, went Gurney plaza, found out a big teenage crowd mostly naive teenage girls outside gurney plaza park area for the singer/actor Eason Chan. At the main side entrance, V.Care was there with their trendy, frame specs roadshow. My new image designer said (vivian) dark blue colour frame specs suites me better.After trying a few pair of specs at Focus Point, me and Paul end up getting a cool Levi's frame specs which we got a chance to bargain for a better price.My specs frame colour is this and Paul's is tiny dots in black,trasparent frame..Way cool! Have to wait a week to collect..

RHB ATM OS Revealed!

Went Burmah House RHB ATM for a redrawal,suddenly the ATM machine got rebooted and the BIOS screen appeared, it required to press on "F2" to proceed,Geee.. ;-D i find it funny coz i dont see any F2 key on the keypad,to my guessing the keyboard must be hiding under the big box..while taking the chance of a lifetime,i was lucky enough to quickly took up my mobile phone and captured it. At last,end up didnt redraw any money.(lol) Went around that part of town,because of taking a friend for bank-in which after a dinner followed by an enjoyable chat at a park with swings near the bank.I had a great evening!

Story of Steve Jobs

Got a mail from my dude, Kris with the title of "3 stories from Steve Jobs - a must read!" Well, usually i dont spend time reading these kinda article, but somehow it is from Kris, then it should be nice/interesting to read on. The article is written by Steve Jobs himself (one of the richest man in the world, CEO of Apple Computer & Pixar Animation Studios) about ups and downs of his life, from his college life until what he is right now, how he managed to get up from failure, disappointment; been around death of an incurable cancer which might caused his life. His article inspired me, a good motivation for those who is currently working.
I especially like these quotes: " Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the Only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle. "

"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

A greeting from a box.

Company's customer ordered 2 brand new Toshiba Tecra M3 with the next generation of Centrino platform, by the codename of Sonoma processor, it came along with 1gb of ram, 60gb of storage.. I found it amusing, as you first opened the box, its written : Nice to meet you ! Well..... nice to meet you too... Mr Toshi Tecra M3 san... ;-)
My boss told me he has registered me and my colleague for a Apple Training held in Northam Hotel, on this 12 of July, Tuesday.He didn't mention what training it is about, but somehow require a ibook or Powerbook to attend. Anyhow, later i found out on my email about the training, something like thunderbiawak in Penang !?!? wtf ?!

Alfred B-day @ Northam.

Woke up late; reformat my pc; (i guess next time whenever i'm lazy or in a rush to simply post a blog, i'll just put in " ; " ) went bj complex to buy a gift for Alfred b-day, at first didn't have any idea what to buy him, well.. i know he's a sentimental kinda guy who likes golf, classic movies and music; bought a Che Guevara T for Alfred and at the same time bought a nicely design T for myself; visited Twin Peak (the shop where i usually buy my piercing studs) bought 2 wristband which has this wonderful words of "Live Strong" and "Love" ; had dinner with Kris and his KL colleague at Penang Rd Kayu, they wanted to look for nasi kandar with 'fried telur sotong', after that followed them to B.Feringghi for sight seeing, couldn't remember when was the last time i went there, had fun hanging out with them; bought 2 dvd title"Tiesto in concert" and "Korn Live-2 dvds" these dvds are so hard to find in dvds shop and with such an awsome price; went for a drink at Sea,Wind Beach motel, wasn't thinking to have beer or anything as later me and Kris sure gonna drink JD or Bacardi, so i ordered Coke which cost rm4 !!! The place is kinda sucks, coz its noisy and yet they still play those typical 'club songs'..Gush! destroy the ambient there; finally Kris returned my power inverter which sent for warranty in LowYat Plaza, more detail pictures http://vinzanity.multiply.com/photos/album/1 ; we hang out at room 3502 northam until 5am, Alfred was too drunk and fell asleep, we were chatting away..

mydefcon #15, damn that Adware/ConsumerAlertSystem

As usual, every first friday of the month we will have mydefcon meeting.I went down a bit early, didnt expect Albert a.k.a Maniac called me at around 9 and said he was there at Pondok RT waiting already. Met up with him and the rest of the goons, we were all sitting right outside of the Pondok RT, waiting for more people to turn up..sadly.. but anyway had a nice chat. At around 10:30 Raz and Altaf came, Raz were showing a damn awsome camcorder program, snapshot at http://mydefcon.org/gallery/15 After that, headed for food at mamak opposite of chic! which happened to see not many people around at chic!, probably is friday?? Got the cool LifeLogger stickers from Altaf that the other day Kris missed out. When i reached home, went into internet and blog about this, suddenly my Panda antivirus detected an Adware/ConsumerAlertSystem, the antivirus killed the adware but somehow it corrupted my notepad.exe. I tried to repair and all but can't seem to make it appears. Damn it! Now, i really have to reformat my beloved pc, its so much of a hassle to reformat it. Anyway, i'm tired..
