End of the year updates

// December 30th, 2008 // 9 Comments » // bookcrossing, family, open source, personal

How was christmas everyone? I’m back at the office on the 2nd last day of the year. People are still holidaying I guess – the road was clear this morning. Mood yang sangat santai di ofis, memandangkan ramai orang cuti :p. The rest of my team is on leave so I’m kinda alone here but who cares. Oh well.

I read the news yesterday that Israel is starting a war or something? WTF? Sudahla dia block the road from any bantuan kemanusiaan masuk since long time ago, now they want to invade Gaza? On what basis? Hamas?? You started the whole thing and now you’re blaming others pulak? And the US seems to support the invasion, tell me what’s new. I’m sorry to say this in public but Israel can go to hell.

There I’ve said it.

Now we move on with events surrounding my personal life right now. Attended a cousin’s engagement ceremony last Sunday and I met Farah of OSCC (formerly)! Said she’s the bride-to-be’s best friend since primary school. That got my mom worried hahaha… We’re hoping for the best of course. Farah is Farah, nice girl and everything but abit of a wild side anyone would notice. But she’s cool.

My car is in dire need of some tyre alignment. Got me really scared the other day when exiting on a ramp, something happened and I almost lost control of the car. S-C-A-R-Y. Alignment pronto.

That said, the car needs its periodical service also (oil change bla bla bla). Can anyone tell me any Perodua service center around Putrajaya/Cyberjaya? It’s hell to go back to Klang just because there’s the only place I know that has it. Of course I’ve googled but if people told me about it I tend to remember it better. Such lame excuse but yea I’m practicing writing important notes down now so I won’t forget it. I’m a forgetful person. Oh yea I got this cute little notebook with super hot jacket from Prudential (thanks Ping Ting!). The notebook jacket is black and red (oooh I like) and what’s more the jacket can be used as passport holder. How I longed for a passport holder ever since I got my passport – that’s a few years back.  It looks ugy now what with wear and tear but it’s going to be kept in it’s pristine condition from now on tra la la la….

What else? Oh for last Friday I have to thank abdza for packing up my stuff in the office and Saro for any any covering up for me heh, it was really an emergency thing. Went to meet up friend to pick up my stuff on lunch break. Supposed to be back in office after that but things happened and yea I was in a tied position. Sometimes there’s other matters that weighs more than work. I found my laptop safe this morning – I was worried. Now today my Friday work comes on top and interrupting my planned Tuesday list. Seems I have alot to do but still have time to blog…heheh… I’m flexible, can’t you tell already.

Came in the office with my right part of the upper head hurt. Had coffee and then it was fine. Hmmm didn’t figure stuff as poisonous as caffeine would be the right fix.

Planned to do year end shopping but lot looks like that not going to happen.. *sigh*

Which reminds me I haven’t collected the RM600+ road tax reimbursment thingy yet. The light bulb kinda went on early this morning out of nowhere. Hmmm… that money will go to credit card payment obviously. Still no shopping for me. Sad,

I have to get my eyes checked. I couldn’t read the signboards from decent distance this morning. That got me worried.

Right now I’m planning a secret project, nothing to do with IT, none whatsoever. No I’m not furthering my studies. No I’m not changing job. No I’m not starting up a business. No it’s nothing to do with computers. Nothing to do with IT, none whatsoever. So stop fiddling around figuring out what it is. And no I’m not going to entertain private message/email enquiries. Friends who know me know how I can keep it sealed as long as I want. So don’t bother. *insert creepy laughs with eerie background music here*

Renew roadtax online

// May 7th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // personal

What? Can ah?

Of course la. I just made the payment – all you need is your e-covernote number and you’re on. I’m so malas to contribute to the long queue in JPJ ok. Visit www.myeg.com.my but I have to warn you it’s really troublesome lah. It’s still in its early stage, just only launched last April but damn the customer service was good. I renewed both my insurance and roadtax there. The first thing that went wrong was I wasn’t redirected to the receipt page for the insurance so I didn’t get my e-covernote (they say I might be facing networking problem – it was at 2am and JPJ server was asleep I guess). The second thing, when I finally got my e-covernote, the system say it didn’t exist! Aiyo seriously la, really intimidating some system can be.

Luckily the myeg people was so helpful! The response to my enquiry was quick and they called me right away. So that’s the good thing about it. As long as I get to have it delivered to my doorstep and I’m not overcharged, I’m all smiles baby.

Currently they only offer 2 insurance online – CIMB Aviva and Takaful Nasional (now Etiqa??). I went for Aviva, saje gatal. I know that TN offers 10% discount for government servants,  I was so tempted to take advantage of that even though I’m not one. Hey I maintained their online insurance system last time, I should get that discount right.

Empty soul

I’ve been feeling a little strange lately like I lamented in previous post. Yesterday morning on my way to work, I met an accident. I rammed straight into a bike moving from the opposite direction.
I didn’t see him coming right until it happened. I won’t go into details here since I’m still feeling down.

This morning I reversed the car too much it hit the divider.

Now my car looks like it’s been through series of rummages. Funny thing is I don’t really care, not as much as I did before.

I’ll need money to fix that but I haven’t given it a thought yet. This past month, money has been flowing out like water, what with moving and travelling and whatnot. Would this make a difference? No, right? So who the hell cares.

Something is wrong here, obviously. But what could it be? I’m losing focus.

Hujan di malam hari

// June 22nd, 2007 // No Comments » // personal

Last night was fun.

I was doing some work right from sitting inside of my car, on the driver seat. With the engine still on, with the cd player blasting god knows how loud. And I was right on the road, on the right lane. Why?

Last night some tree decided to fall down and block the road totally and make it impossible to get across. So I was right there 2 cars behind the fallen big tree and surprisingly I wasn’t that grumpy. Maybe because I believe there’s some other banjir victims somewhere cursing everyone and everything why the hell no one is there to help move their things out of the house etc. So I was there safe and sound, only a little late for dinner. But other than that, I’m fine baby.

1 hour didn’t go away unconsumed that easily. I got work to finish. So switch on the laptop and get on with it I did.

While at that, I enjoyed glancing a moment or two at the mamat2 bomba bekerja keras memotong pokok tersebut. I got nothing better to do right. The traffic from the opposite direction was really bad too. Typical malaysians la tuh. Everybody wants to slow down to take a peek, so it would become their next big news to brag about. So it became one big mess traffic jam. But what did I care, I was comfortable in my car. As soon as they finished whatever they were doing to the tree, I’d be out of there.
