Happy Chinese New Year everyone....
|
|
This might be late, but
Happy Chinese New Year !
So, stuff yourself with bak kua, cookies, kuih kapit and yee sang and be prepared to gain weight ! But then always remember those that are less fortunate. This year i had a chance to visit some old folks home and it breaks my heart how some children are willing to throw their parents there and leave them to rot. Some of the elderly can't even walk anymore and just lie on the bed the whole day. Imagine the bed sore they are suffering from ! To top it up, they can't even go to the toilet and had to do their business on the bed, and when the stench is so unbearable only others will help clean it up. Argh, curse those wretched children who leaves their parents at an old folks home and not visit them even during CNY or any celebration at all...@%^&@%^*#%^*#^@
Enough of that rambling. My new year had its ups and downs this year. The ups are pretty much the same with everyone where i got to meet up with family members and all, but the sucky thing was, my car air con went KO after i came back from my holidays. And then, i got sick from too much traveling and the ever changing weather. 
need to sign off for now. My boss is rushing me for performance report. Toodle doo !

Guess whose on top of the EPL now !
GO GUNNERS !
Entering the weekend, i felt pretty nervous of this weekends fixture. Arsenal was up against Manchester City, the few teams in EPL who has yet to lose at home. Dropping points at this stage would be disastrous ! Rosicky and van Persie who are still in the sidelines, i was just only hoping for a draw. And yet, we defied the odds again and won by a 2 goal margin, 3-1 !
I am hoping the Gunners will maintain their consistency for another 14 more games in the league and win it this year. It has been 2 years since we got ANY trophy at all. Spurs kicked us out of the league cup with an embarrassing 5-1 defeat at White Hart Lane. Ibrahim from Khazak, was chatting with me and he said "...let them win, it has been more than 10 games since they beat you".  Sorry EJ, this is me being a sore loser !
Anyway, Arsenal have a tough fixture up ahead. in the FA cup we are up against the giant Manchester United and in Champions League, it would be the defending champions, AC Milan.
No matter what,even if you win or lose... i would still be your loyal supporter, Arsenal....

(in hokkien in means pain ! )
In paintball, you pay to get shot and bruises all over your body. But heck, its fun ! 
8 guys and 4 girls decided to spend their hard earned money today to shoot some colored filled bullets at a small field with a couple of handmade bunkers. Each "bullet" they fired was at the cost of RM0.08 ! Imagine putting 8 cents into a gun barrel and shoot it !
Never the less, the amount of fun, sweat and adrenaline we got from the game was just way better than the money we paid. FYI, the cost was about RM71, which is a better amount spend than splashing all that money on clubbing and booze ! No offense dear clubbers ! 
Gan and i did discuss and we might be organizing something similiar in the future. Maybe around Feb or March, definitely after Chinese New Year. If you are interested, leave me or Gan a message !
Abdul, hands off !
Good to go !
More pics, coming up

What makes your morning drive enjoyable ?
|
|
I dont know about you guys but for me it is definitely the music that the radio plays and also the DJ. Most people i know would either be listening to Fly fm, Hitz FM , Mix Fm or even Light and easy . I have to admit they play a lot of mainstream music and latest hits, most songs which we know and that we can sing too.
I use to listen a lot to Hitz and Radio 4 ( yes, its old ! ) during my younger days and i later i switch to WoW FM, when it was still playing most English music then. I remember Jason Lo use to have 1 session when he was DJ-ing at WoW where he plays a too-old-rebellious teenage kid who stays with his mom. Not too sure if many of you might remember that as WoW did phase out as it did not receive that much support....sadly.
Fast forward to the future. Now the station i listen to everyday to and from work each day is....Red FM ! . Most people i know don't listen to them. Sadly again. But yet i do feel they are a quite a good station. Why i like them...
1. Rather than only playing mainstream and latest hits, they do play a lot of old school songs. It would be hard to name it all here but do try listening to them.
2. They have a rock music night at 12am on Friday !
3. Will and Shaz ( hope i got their names right ) makes good jokes and funny in their own way. I realize most DJ are funny because they act and make an @ss out of themselves. No need to name who right ?
Anyway, if you ever do get bored of your mundane station, try Red fm. The frequency is 104.9 in the Klang Valley. You might enjoy it.
Cheers !

The instructor was going " ...to create a new directory, type the command mkdir.."
Then my phone suddenly rang. It was Khek
Khek : " Dude i got something to tell you"
Duncan: " Whats up man. In a class right now. Kinda bz"
Khek : " Call me back when you are done ! ITS BIG"
I ran out of the class and called him
Duncan : " This better be good ! Whats the big news ? you got a girlfriend ! "
Khek : " No man , even better. I won a date with Jojo Struys ! "
Duncan : " Don't f*ck with me man. Stop Joking ! "
Khek : " Yea man i am not joking and i am bringing you along with me !"
That was basically how our date with Jojo Struys, the Mixfm DJ started. First of all, let me thank you Mr Tay Khek Yang for inviting me as your guest ! . Khek basically voted for Jojo for the "Win a date with a Mix Fm DJ" a couple of weeks back and won !

In case you dont know who Jojo is.
So, after training i went back, took a short nap, bath and headed over to Khek's place to pick him up. Sadly, it was a bad coincidence that both of us wore the same black shirt !
We later headed to PJ Hilton, where the dinner was and we waited anxiously for her. We were kinda scared also cause there wasn't any written letter about the event. In our hearts we hoped it wasn't some January fool prank someone might have played on us !
At about 8 ( we were there since 715 ! ), Jojo and her special friend turned up. Pietro, Joanne, Anu, Lin and Belinda joined us for the dinner as well. It was really fun being able to talk to some famous people from the radio industry. Had a couple of pictures taken and voila...

Happy new year !
|
|
Woohoo ! Its the new year people. Life for me has been pretty hectic. Not having the luxury of going into the office and blog first thing in the morning anymore.  so sad...so sad...
But anyway , i guess there will be no point for me to make any new resolutions if i can't achieve them right ? so i guess i will just fit in a few " I wanna achive/do things.... " around the year.
The year 2007 was quite kind to me. I had my ups and downs but never the less, it help me build my character. Let me see what did i do last year.
1. Went white water rafting
2. Celebrated numerous friends ( especially pure E) birthdays
3. Went for a post graduation trip with friends
4. Hung out a lot with microwave's students
5. Had a gathering with my ex-SRC friends
6. ITP and FYP presentations
7. Had my final year prom
8. GRADUATION
9. Started my career with my first job at E///
10. Went to Gopeng for my second round of white water rafting. it was my groups team building
11. Got to know a rocker chick name Joyce
12. Build up better friendship with some new and old friends
13. Bought my very own XBOX 360 !
14. Attended Gwen Stefani, Jacky Cheung, James Morrison and MCR's concert
15. Attended Jeff Buckley's tribute gig
16. Went for Victor and Nad's wedding
Argh, i can't think of anything anymore currently but will update it from time to time.
If u had a bad year last year, lets pray it would be a better one for ya next year.
If u had a great year, lets also pray u will have a better one this year
Happy 2008 everyone !

MCR ???NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....
|
|
yes, i went for their concert yesterday
but no, i dont enjoy their music that much *emo rock that is*
so why the heck still go ? Honestly speaking, i am turning out to be a concert and live gig junkie. i am currently enjoying the feeling of going to them. The different crowd, the different atmosphere and the thought of seeing a band play live is just superb !
I told Dee Lern when i was there, i hardly know MCR's songs. i usually will just change radio station or switch to CD whenever i hear them on the radio. But yesterday, it was there rare few times i ever hear their songs till the end ! Yes i am not lying ! The other few times was when i was sitting in Dee Lern's car and...errrr...i cant remember anymore.
Don't worry, i am still not a sellout to the "real rock" music ! hahahaha.
Anyway, the crowd was mostly teenage kids. But there were some jackass parents who decided to bring their 12-15 year old son/daughters to the concert. I have nothing against these parents but when you start pushing us so that your "not so tall" kids could see the stage, its just plain annoying. There was this particular parent who was pushing his way through the crowd so that his daughter could see the stage. Everyone paid to be there. so its too bad you came late and had to stand in the back ! Or at least, learn to say "excuse me" ! ish...bodoh aaaaaaa
It poured during the entire concert. Everyone was wet and sticky that whole night. Yes guys, your imagination for girls in white all wet came partially true. The rain wasn't heavy enough to make their whole shirt wet, but it did do a trick or two for some....DON'T GET ME WRONG ! I AM NOT A PERVERT. Just stating some facts.... hehehehehehe
So, anyone up for any concerts next? Not too sure who is coming next, but lets go "beramai-ramai" !
One Buck Short
Cutie Natalie and Adam
Pop Shuvit
