I'm Back Just For Fun

Its been a while since I last blog. Just don't have the mood or the feel to blog. Everyday I'm bog down with work in the office. All of a sudden, you just tend to lose this blogging feel. Today after three months, I decided to drop by my old blog again. Looking at the old article, brings back some sort of nostalgic feeling to me. I feel as though I have lost a large part of my humour due to my nature of work. Always dealing with people, some who are rather fucked up. Then there is the problem of breakdowns at site. I don't think I would like to dwell further into my working life. Just leave it as it is.

This blog is for me to write, curse, relax, talk kok, etc. Speaking of which I have been visiting this particular place for 2 times already this whole week. Its not exactly a place, more like a back alley somewhere in Johor Bahru. There you could find some rather fascinating personalities working between 9pm to God knows what time. Ask, any Johorean or UTM students and I think they would know exactly what I am talking about. :)

Yeah, going to that place is like some sort of stress reliever for me. :) I don't go alone though, normally with a couple of friends. Maybe I would elaborate more some other day. Till then it is back to work..work....work....

Chronous? What The Heck is That?

Well I heard this joke from a colleague of mine. He attended this course which is actually an equipment traning program. The equipment would be used for communication purposes in my company.

So on the first day of the training, the course instructor asked if anyone there knew the origin of the word "synchronous"?

Nobody answered.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, the instructor broke the silence by explaining that the word synchronous is derived from the Greek word "chronous".

Everybody nodded.

Still unsatisfied with the lame response from his audience, the instructor proceeded to explain that "chronous" is actually a name of a Greek God.

"Does anyone here know what kind of God is Chronous?" asked the instructor.

Silence.....

Then came a soft retort from the back

"Chronous is the God of COMMUNICATION sir!"

Everyone in the room broke into laughter.

I laughed my head off hearing this from my colleague.

Classic I would Say.

Till then, Cheerios everyone...

Blog Whores Galore

After blog hopping several blogs today, I realized that many bloggers are turning into blog whores. Sad to say that some bloggers just tend to make use of other blogger who are more famous to increase hits to their sites. How do bloggers make use of other bloggers? Well here are a few things that I noticed:

1. Utilizing their blogs to critize everything from articles to pictures that another blogger produces in his/her blog.

2. Post photoshopped pictures of a famous blogger. Making them look semi-retarded but at times even making some look prettier as compared to the original picture.

3. Post nudes pictures downloaded from SPG.

4. Post negative comments on a famous blogger's site, hoping that the comments would attract readers to click on the link.

A very good example of a blog whore is

xialanxue

and not forgetting

stevenlim

If you look carefully, you can see many other blog whoring methods dished out by bloggers just to gain popularity in the blogging world.

In truth, tt's just my 5 cents worth of opinion. If you don't like what I say, sue me.

Cheerios.

To Port Dickson And Back

It's 3:05am in the morning and here I am putting in a blog entry for today. Just finished reading both Kenny and Xia Xue's blogs. Sometimes I do wonder whether am I the only person who feels motivated to blog everytime I finish reading Kenny's or Xia Xue's blogs entries? Or perhaps there are many other more bloggers out there who share the same sentiment as me.

Anyway, good for Xia Xue now that her blog is back to what it was before. The hacking ordeal must be really punishing for her both physically and emotionally. As for me, go ahead, hack all you want, I can start all over again. Like what Xia Xue said, I'll come back bigger, better and stronger (not my penis ok).

Well, actually I just came back from Port Dickson with a few of my old school friends. We left Seremban at about 12 am, and arrived at our destination around 12.45 am. Our destination is actually a small beach side pub selling drinks and tid bits. This is my first time visiting this pub and I was half expecting to be greeted by lotsa chicks/ babes in bikinis serving me beer. Well half of my expectation was fulfilled (the beer was there), the other half would remain justas an expectation (the sexy babes in bikini part).

Anyway, the three of us had for bottles of beer, one fried kuey tiow(for me) and a dish called Hong Kong Taufu. We managed to catch up on the latest happenings (more like our so called happening mundane daily life) in our life. One of my friend just came back from China after spending 5 months working there. He is Chinese, speaks minimal Mandarin yet able to survive for 5 months in China and got involved in a relationship with a China girl. I have to agree with the statement that the world is indeed full of surprises.

I will pray that things would work out for him. Personally long distance relationship is not something that I would really encourage, especially if the relationship is only starting to bud. Yet, as a friend, all I advice him is to let faith runs it course. As the song goes, "What ever will be will be, the future is not ours to see".

Feeling rather sleepy now.

Till then, cheerios......

Buffet For The Rich and Famous

I'm back, but not for good. I'll be only blogging occasionally since I hardly get the chance to access the internet here in Kuala Lumpur. I just completed the first week of training here in Kuala Lumpur and I have another week to go. Briefly this is an equipment training conducted by the supplier of the equipment for a group of employees from my company. Fortunately I'm one the lucky ones.

The training is of the typical type with the routine power point presentations and pratical equipment training. I do enjoy the training, honestly. Another plus point of the training is that for lunch, we are treated to RM54 buffet lunch at the Renaissance Hotel. Five freaking star buffet lunch for two weeks. The best part was, I even ordered a drink that cost about RM18 which tasted exactly like orange juice. I guess rich people just love to drink orange juice which has double digits pricing together with some fancy name like Tikki Delight.

Well for me, might as well enjoy it. It's free after all. The slack part about the buffet lunch is that the menu remains the same everyday. Occasionally there would be some variety of new dishes but most of the time, the same dishes are served everyday.

I'm afraid by the end of the two weeks course, I would have put on an extra few kilos. Sigh, imagine eating while the mind is subconsciously telling me that you're goin to turned into a FAT slob soon by the end of next week. Really comforting huh.

Well, the weekend approaches. No buffet lunches for Saturday and Sunday. I wonder if I can still consume normal food for the next two days. I've this image in my mind depicting myself cringing to swallow home cooked food.

Till then, cheerios everyone.

Sakit Season..Sniff...Sniff

It's the time of the year again, where everyone tends to get sick easily.

Blame it on the weather, blame it on the ugly guy that sneezed on you two days ago, blame it on your sick boss for giving you the tissue he just used, blame it on Osama, blame it on anyone.

The fact still remains, I'm sick and I know most of you are sick as well. Which explains why you are reading this blog at home instead of going to work or studying.

As far as I am concerned, I consider myself to be the third blogger to fall sick after Almonds&Diamonds and n305er. Since both of them posted articles detailing about how sick they were, why should I be left out as well (I sense the Kiasu-ness is strong in me).

Besides, I need some sympathy too you know.

Here's what I am suffering from:

and

I'm sick, who the heck cares about copyright.

This is what I feel right now

Yes, I know he looks good eventhough he is sick. I'm probably about 10 times more worse then him.

Better to put this guys face in my blog then my own sick (and F#$@*! up) face.

Please have some sympathy for me and leave some wonderful comments in my blog k.

Sniff...sniff...

Virus...Virus...Latest Update

Good morning everyone, I'm back in the office.

I paused the virus scan before I left office yesterday and resumed the scanning about 5 minutes ago. Check out the latest number of infected files.

Excellente...Bravo....75231 files scanned and 123 viruses found. Mr. W32.HLLW.Lovgate.G must really love my laptop. By the way, Mr.W32.HLLW.Lovgate.G broung along his brother too, Mr.W32.Lovgate.X@mm.

I hope I don't see more members of the Lovgate family.

Later, I won't be surprise if I come across names such as:

Mrs.W32.Lovgate.Wife.BigBossOfTheHouse.XXX

or

Mr.W32.Lovgate.Jr

or

Mr.W32.Lovgate.Granpa.89yrsOld.And.Still.KickingButt

Whatever viruses that are infecting my laptop, BEWARE! your time is short.

Sigh, perhaps it's time to format the laptop. The problem is there are too many important files to backup and the labtop does not have a cd burner.

Till then, cheerios....

134 infected files(Just checked before posting this article)

Virus..Virus...Lotsa Virus

Arrggghhh....OMG.....WTF.....

You must be asking why am I screaming and cursing?

Here take a look at this :

Here's the full story

After using the company labtop for about 4 months, I decided to be a nice guy and give that bugger (I meant the laptop) a thorough virus scan. After updating the antivirus software with the latest virus definition, I proceeded to run a full system scan on the laptop.

Initially, I did not mind the first prompt appearing and telling me that a virus has been found in one of the files.

I told myself, "Bah, just one small infection, what the heck, small problem oni mah"

Shown below is the prompt that would appear when a virus is detected:

From the picture above you can see that a virus by the name of W32.HLLW.Lovgate.G has infected my C:\ArmadaE5006oft\ATIWindowsDriver.exe.

Action taken: Clean failed (stupid....Norton). Quarantine succeeded. (Yay, should I strip naked now and run around the office while tugging at my nipple rings?)

Fine by me, go ahead and quarantine. Besides only one file is infected.

Things got really out of hand when the prompt started appearing in an alarming rate. Every five minutes or so, a prompt appears.

If you have noticed from the first picture, you can see that the files scanned are about 10,000 plus and the antivirus has already detected 11 infections by Mr. Lovgate.G (Who the hell gave this virus that name. Why not name it Mr. LovAssAndKissMy.S.E.X.Y.butt.G?)

10,000 files is only a small portion of the C drive. I'm guessing by the time the scan is completed, probably about 5000 of my files are infected by Mr.Lovgate.G.KissMyAss virus.

Sorry I just couldn't help it. Mr.Lovgate.G just doesn't sound nice to me unless I add the KissMyAss part into it.

Anyway, let's see how everything goes from here.

OK last check.....25 files infected.....and still counting...YIPPIE....

By the way, my name is not Faisal. He's the previous owner of the laptop.

Till then, have a nice day and hope that your computer too will be graced by Mr. Lovgate.G

NBTD? Let's Protest

"Anti-Arroyo marchers clog Makati"

*

Yup, that's the headline for the Sun paper today.

Let me briefly explain to you what this entire issue is all about.

(Takes a deep breath.....)

Basically, there is this one big group of really pissed people (about 30,000 of them) who decided to gather at the Makati financial district in Manila.

*

The reason of the gathering :

Trying real hard to get the Philippines President to step down.

*

Why are 30,000 people so pissed :

Because the Philippines President Arroyo (I prefer calling her AhYoYo) allegedly rigged the last election. A recording of her having a conversation with an election official was released not long ago.

*

What are the 30,000 people demanding :

"OVERTHROW HER! ARREST HER! MAKE HER PAY!"

*

What are the 30,000 pissed off people doing at the protest :

Waving banners, chanting, singing protest song, wasting time, groping, etc

*

Who's the "kepala", or the Big Badass Boss of the rally :

A lady by the name of Jejomar Binay (Makati's mayor and protest leader)

*

What is Jejomar's comment :

"I don't like Gloria. Naturally in our place, no one likes Gloria"

(I guess girls just like to organize massive protest rallies when they don't like each other huh?)

Thank you all and have a nice day protesting

Cheerios
