Had another busy weekend. Was tired after having my late dinner. I turned on the TV and browsed though the channels. Then suddenly spotted Paris-Roubaix live at Eurosport. I watched 3/4 of the whole race till the end. Fabian Cancellara taking another title win at Paris-Roubaix 2010. The Spartacus make a spectacular break-away with 50km to go leaving the rest of the peloton in the dust. The time gap was more than 2 minutes. It's his second win in a row after conquering Tour of Flanders last weekend. Bravo to Fabian!
Had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant nearby my office. Ordered spaghetti aglio olio. It's one of my favourite pasta dish. It tastes so nice. The aromatic herbs mixed together with fresh chopped garlic and dry chili bring out the distinctive flavour of Italian.
Of course, to complete my Italiano meal I ordered a glass of lemon twist that fills up my lunch stomach. But this place is not an everyday lunch or else I will have to spend only eating bread for the rest of the month.
Don't you find it weird when a person offers their assistance to you and condemn you if the result did not work out. I mean this is really disturbing. The victim supposedly is the one that got helped and yet the one that lending their hand blame you for the mistakes. Wow! this is really crazy. So it is better not getting help at all, don't you think so? I rather have a slower and yet effective result instead.
Just had lunch over at Tropicana City Mall. What can I say? First of all, it's a small restaurant that offers porridge/congee and a small portion of noodle choice. Yes, the variety is there. But that's it. Nothing more for me to talk about. The food quality is really below sea level. Either it's too salty, too plain or just plain lousy. So far, this restaurant is the worst amongst those I had tried in the complex.
And most of all, since I do not want to waste my hard earn cash, I am forced to swallow the bowl of tasteless noodle down my throat. Please people, avoid this shop at all cause. Unless you want to taste the sour grape for once.
Iron Man 2 will be coming soon to town on April 30, 2010. Very eager to watch it. My wife told me that their company is sponsoring their clients to watch the premier which include the staffs. Yay! I might be able to watch the movie first hand!
Was browsing my own blog. Then read an article that was written by on my previous trip to Japan for my honeymoon. Those were the days, going traveling without any worries at work. Spending time with my wife. Sigh...hope I can go for another trip. My wife suggested that we go to Korea during their winter season. Not a bad idea after all. Maybe can bring along my son this time. Pray hard...
Sometimes when we are discussing on some issue, there might be a debate on whose information is correct. There are at times when it gets out of hand, he or she may feel threaten for being wrong and hence kept insisting their view is correct. No matter who is right or wrong, all we need to do is get the best fact/info so that we are on the right track. But being an ego person, it will make others think that you are a sore loser. I don't see any point for being so persistent and hence making others feel obnoxious.
Just finished revamping my wife's resume. Since she got some comment from resume expert stating that hers is too messy and no direction. So, I've got to help her out in order for her to get a better job. Gambate! Okay, off to bed...
My superior left the office stealthily without anyone noticing it. This is not the first time he does that. Man, he is so good at this. At least all he can say is goodbye to us who are working late.
Every time I got my car washed and cleaned, the rain always get the better of me! Why? Why? It will not pours when my car is like a muddy river. Do you not like others to be cleaner than you? If you are dirty, then clean yourself up. Don't take on others that are more hardworking than you do! Anyway, no matter what we do, we can never beat the nature of the weather. Darn! This really pisses me off!
I need to bring my Powerbook G4 back to life. It's been in the drawer for a long time and it is the time to see the light. The battery couldn't be charge even though it still draws power from the socket. The OS is dying. Too heavy to move its body. Not sure how much will it cost to spring it back to life. Hope it will work nicely after some refinements.
The Apple iPad has already on sale couple of days ago in the U.S. Customers swarmed the shops to get their hands laid on the iPads. The iPad looks good. Thought of getting one, but it won't do what I want in the iPad. Better for me to get an iMac with more power! Bigger screen! Would you get one?
My ex-colleague managed to register himself into Facebook. It's his first time getting to social online activities. Man, he had a hard time to get it going. But he gets it rolling after some time playing with it with some guidance from me and my colleagues.
My birthday is coming soon and my wife asked me what is my wishlist for this year. I have not given her the answer. But she said to have a nice dinner with me. :) But of course if it comes with a present would be excellent!
It was a busy weekend for me. Taking care of the children, the housework, iron clothing and etc. Basically, it's hard to get your own sweet time together with either yourself or with my wife or children. The only time I had personal time with my wife was while waiting for my son's music lesson to be over. It's like about 35 minutes. Although the time is not gracious, at least we get to catch our time together.
We had our lunch as usual, this time chicken rice at a nearby stall. Yummy, but we do get thirsty afterward from the msgs (monosodium glutamate). Also, I was sweating like a dog because the weather was extremely baking like oven. After picking my son up from the class, business as usual. Everyone was so busy doing their own work as if it will not end. In the end, all things comes to settle down towards midnight.
At least, I got a glimpsed of Fabian Cancellara taking the win in Tour of Flanders. And to me this is one nice dessert before I get myself into dreamland.
Watch it on Friday night with my wife and son. Suprisingly my son loves the movie. It's kinda hard to tell what kind of movies he likes. Sometimes he likes those things that you would never thought of. And now my wife love the character of Night Fury, the main dragon in the movie. Now waiting the chance to watch Clash of The Titans. But that will be another part of the story.
On my very earlier post on Naruto, I have stopped watching it because couldn't get a cantonese version. So now I have to continue reading it from an online manga site. Not a sad case though as online manga is free. :) But it's a long way for me to start...
Thought of getting this for my wife since she said she would like to get a laptop for her own work. I have a laptop too...but it seems like mine has went in and out of the tanjung rambutan. Anyway, it's a Dell Studio 15. Not a bad setup.

Fabian Cancellara is one of my favourite time trial cyclist besides Lance Armstrong. He is such a strong athlete as he can overpower most riders during the time trial session. Below is his 2009 TVC for Specialized. Enjoy.
I'm sure most of us have idolize some fictional characters in the comics world or even animations. Well, so far I have group 3 of my most favourite characters of all time. I plan to insert about 10, but can't think of any that I really like. Okay, here are the list. Starting from no.3 (drumming)...
At no.3: Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) What can I say. She is one bad-ass Batgirl. Although she does not talk much (she had training on body reading) but her outfit is cool. Just like a Batgirl should looks like. I'm sure the thugs will be very scared if she appears to stop them. Besides, she is expert in martial arts too.
Continue at no.2: Gambit (X-Men) Gambit, he is such a cool character. Although not that powerful, he has cool mutant ability to tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy upon touching it. When Gambit thus charges an object and throws it at a target, the object releases this energy explosively on impact.
And no.1 goes to: Batman He is my character ever since I was 6 years old. I still remembered when I was watching Justice League of America in the early 80s. He looks damn cool even though he does not have any superhuman powers. He is one sickly the best human being living on earth in terms of physical and mental strength. He can beat up enemy even if they have super powers. He is the man with most thinking on how to defeat an enemy. Batman is the man!
I've booked 3 tickets on How To Train a Dragon. Watching it with my wife and son. He is 4 years old now. Hope he is interested in this movie since it's a 3D animation. This is the third time I bring him to cinema.
The first movie we went was Storm Rider 2. He seemed to be caught with the movie whole. Maybe it's his first time to a movie theatre and the scenario was dark with big TV in front of him.
The second movie we watch was Avatar. That time was a bit hard for him to concentrate. He kept asking me to take him to the washroom. Sometimes he did pee, sometimes he just wants to take some fresh air. I missed most of the important part of the movie. Nonetheless, I'm alright with it.
By the way, initially I was planning to watch Clash of The Titans. All the tickets are fully reserved. Shoot!
As per my previous post, I am currently using Crumpler (Horseman) for my work. It's a very convenient messenger bag that can fit in almost anything I want. It has a compartment for my laptop too. I have a Powerbook and HP Pavillion DV2000. Both fits well nicely although the Powerbook has the better fit. To me it seems like the sleeves are taylor made for the Mac products.
Yup. It's a messenger bag. I just love messenger bags for no reason. Be it Crumpler, Fossil or anything as long as the design is stylish and with some rugged touches. Well, this time I'm taking about a messenger bag from Booq. It is designed to be extremely tough, with an abundance of functionality, such as a removable protective laptop sleeve, adjustable seatbelt nylon shoulder strap with removable shoulder pad and stabilizing strap, large front pocket with built in organizer, exterior handle and trolley pass-through on the back, and much more. It's already in my wishlist. But kind of hard to get it here in Malaysia. See...there's even an iPhone pocket! But my wife already forbid me to get any more bags because she said I have enough bags already that can even fill up the closet. Truly sad case...By the way, currently I'm using a Crumpler.
Sammi Cheng just finished her concert in Malaysia's Genting Highland. Too bad I did not get the chance to see it. Price was quite steep for me to watch her. LOL. Normally I would wait for my friend to tell me that there are some VIP tickets to be given away. Then only I will go. Bad isn't it?
Finally, I got my hands on Stephy Tang's latest album "Music Cafe". It comprises of all her best songs ranging from her previous group Cookies till her current solo hits. Also there are 4 new songs namely the recent single "陪著我走" written by Stephy herself, online game theme song "命運之鑰", plus "一眨眼" and "海風". The album is accompanied by a DVD which consists 10 of her music videos that are karaoke-enabled. Overall, it's a good value package.
There will be TT (teh tarik/gathering session) this Friday evening organized by Swift Club Malaysia (SCM). Not sure wanna go or not because kinda lazy after some hard work at the office. So tell me people, to go or not to go?
Yes, today is the premier of Clash of The Titans! One of my most anticipated movie for year 2010. Hope this movie will not be a let down. I think it's going to be awesome! Hope I am be able to watch it first hand!
