After spending days sweat at the office, I can finally feel the cool breeze of the working air conditioner. Coupled together with about hundreds of other electronic equipment turned on at the same time, having an air con just doesn't seem to cut it anymore. So I had to take preventive measures, measures that will save my insanity. How? Well I just brought my computer case fans to work and hooked it up to my DC regulator and voila, instant cooling solutions. Right now its only a 12V 80mm fan hooked up at 16V to turn faster. I have another one with a higher CFM waiting to be turned on but I am afraid that the sound it emanates might bother my other colleagues. Maybe I should hook up a bigger fan instead, lower RPM but higher CFM.
Well today is gym day and The Curve started charging for parking so I guess its Menara Axis for me today. Unless my colleagues choose Summit or Subang then I'll just follow them. Never been to the one in Summit or to the one in Subang before but this is what having a passport membership is all about. I hope they are showing something nice today while I am on the cycling machine.
Finally finished playing KOTOR 2 as well, what can I say about the ending? It sucks. Oh well, sometimes I wonder what they whole entire game is about anyway. Maybe its because I took too long to finish the game. And in the course of uninstalling the game, I accidentally deleted every other game folder in my computer as well so my computer is game free, well almost game free.
TV series season has just ended and I have to wait a couple more months before the US TV series kicks off their new season. I wonder if Nip/Tuck will be showing this season.

Monday, woohoo!
Ever wondered why Mondays are nice to sleep in and Friday nights seem to be the time you are most awake? I always wondered about the Monday blues, whether it be psycological or is it that our bodies seem to be allergic to work. One of my own dream is to actually not dread Mondays, but it seems to be what everyone wants. Everyone wants to work at a place whereby every morning, getting up is no longer a chore. But could it all be in our own mindsets. A job is only boring if we think that it is boring. Its always all up to us whether we want to make it fun and happening or rather just tearfully boring and mindless. Sometimes we look at other people and wished that we had their jobs, but the grass always seem greener on the otherside.
After all I have written above, I would like to say that Saturdays and Sundays pass by extremely fast. Before you know it, time has passed on and what you see is another reoccurance of what happened the week before, the dreaded Monday. You always seem to have too little time to do the things you want to do and when you have a task which you hate, time just seem to stand still. Everytime that happens, I just wonder if there is someone on some hill holding up a stick, not letting the sun go down.
One can just imagine the week to be a mountain, the start is always difficult for the climb is not easy. But once you slowly reach the peak, things seem easier because you see hope reaching you and once you are at the peak its all the way downhill from here. Some people see the week as an airport runway, nothing but stable flat ground throughout. Others may think its a bed of spikes, sudden sharp pains poking at you unknowingly. How then do we quantify what this is that we face until the end of our lives? Imagine if everyone felt positive and glad about what they do, there won't be any mountains nor airport runways. I tell you, its a bed of roses.

Hot, hot and hot!
Today is an exceptionally hot day. Worse still, the air conditioning in my office dieded as well. Sigh now I am sitting here after a nice KFC lunch (air conditioned, yay!) sweating like a pig (according to Sam my colleague, pigs do not sweat), waiting for my meeting to start in the nice cool studio aircon. Oh well, for once I am thankful for my uniform, its rather cooling if compared to the usual work clothes such as long sleeve shirt and tie.
Went to Bom Brazil again last night at Jalan Changkat, near Jalan Alor. Ate meat like there was no tomorrow and now I am officially sick of beef. Too much rare beef can really make you sick. The company was great, managed to catch up with some good old friends whom I haven't seen or eaten together with in a long while.
Alright, lunch hour is over. Time to head somewhere cooler, maybe I might migrate there.

Hopes and Joys
Ok, only but a few more days till 17th of June. Only then will we find out whether Liverpool gets to defend their Champions League title. So far with all the current backing they are receiving, there might be a high chance in Liverpool's favour. Other than that, its time for the transfer window to open and I am extremely curious who will Rafa Benitez bring in to the squad.
Will be having German food tomorrow night for dinner with my old housemates from Sheffield. I really wonder if I can find the restaurant that serves pork knuckles but in the event we cannot find the place, we might just settle for Bomb Brazil. Another lovely MEAT buffet to make me gain more weight instead of losing weight.
Started my low oil and fat content diet, I have to start cutting down on the oily food served in my company's canteen so its bread and fruits for me to eat. Already cut down on the teh ais and just sticking to water. Maybe I have a long way to go till 13kgs.

Wow, 1 month and 20 days MIA
Yes, this site is not inactive and the sight of the many posts on my tag-board has spurred me to keep this site active with insights and thoughts coming from a llama (so calls Josh). Anyhow, life has been pretty hectic lately especially the last month. Was in a bit of a mixed feelings in certain areas of my life but right now, I am still as confused as ever but with a little more purpose in mind.
Went for a workshop in financial planning about 2 weeks back and boy, do I really need to personally manage my own finances. Suddenly I feel the need to thank God for my cheap canteen food I consume everyday at work, saves me moolah but puts my health at risk. Ok I will just stick to healthier food, so say I. Well my counter is still steady, 13kgs to go.
Recently everyone went and watched Episode 3. Personally, its alright because I don't like to watch movies where I know what will happen and how it ends. Well almost everyone knows how it ends because they have all seen Episode 4. Maybe that is why, my expectations were rather low because I knew that American type shows can't compare in terms of fighting scenes to those old Jet-Li movies. I thought the saber fight scenes were only so-so except for a few parts where it gotten interesting. In likeness of Hayden Christansen and Mark Hamil, both of them are equally "kayu" hence proves the phrase "like father, like son". Ok call me lame.
I need to properly warm up and warm down next time when I play futsal. Then I wouldn't have to go through the same pain I am going through right now, aching legs. Oh, lunch time is about over. No sleep today, maybe tomorrow instead. Ah Lionel, I envy the good food you get at KLCC but I don't envy the price.

Email not working?
Ok, I guess that my email updates doesn't seem to work very well. As I mentioned in my earlier posts, blog updating using email is not as great as I would have thought. Firstly the updates are extremely late in being posted and now the entire update isn't posted as well. Oh well, looks like I have to log on to my account and do the updating again.
As for my good friend Lionel, do not be dishearted. There are plenty more opportunities for you. Learn from this experience and work harder ok? Believe me, I went through the same thing.
Josh, you are not coming back for summer? Well since you are working there, I expect a free breakfast, lunch and dinner when you get back in December. Oh yes, nothing less than RM50 per meal. For you, its about 7 quid so no complaining!
As for me, my skin is peeling thanks to the nasty sunburn I got from Bali. Next time, I am going to swim in sunblock lotion before I step under the sun when I am on the beach. Or else, I will just stick to reading a book in a cosy air conditioned Starbucks outlet!
On a side not, I noticed that there are some errors on the side bar. Looks like I need to either change my template or just figure out the problem.
I also finished reading "Who says Elephants can't Dance". Honestly it gave me a good insight of how corporate restructuring is, but that is just one of the many other scenarios.
Finally learned to not have such long paragraphs for my blog as it is hard to read or people tend to get lost in them and start to totally ignore it.
