How Ive been

First and foremost, I wanna apologize for not updating my blog as often as I did for the past weeks. Actually the main reason behind it is because I started my new job beginning of this week.

Im still getting a hang of this new environment. Well, let me describe my new job. Firstly, it is a semiconductor factory in Ulu Klang, near UKRC where most of us youth play football there every Sunday (except me lah he he he!) Im an engineer in this company and I just started my 'real' work today ( tell you more after this)

The good thing about this company is that, it is NEAR! and comparatively to both my previous companies, this is like 1/5 of the journey (Oliver is gonna start pulling his hair right about now). It takes me about 15-20mins to get to work!

So far, for the one week, I've been in orientation up to yesterday (Thursday). I had to listen to seminars, talks, and I had to take tests! I thought I'd never have to take anymore tests. The other guy said, "Long time haven't felt like this since Uni Ha Ha" So like that lah, everyday classes. So today I was assigned to a project and I enjoy my project. Got motivation!

Another motivation is that, I work 5 days a week and, on Fridays my work ends at 4.30pm! (now most working folks will want to pull my hair right about now). So I get to skip all the hectic Friday jams( I had enough of them). Thats also why I can update my blog now :)

Anyways, before all of us pull out all our hair, let me talk about something else.

Just the other day, I went to Justin Yap (senior) house to meet up for dinner for Bernard's farewell. Then outside, I spotted 2 baby birds at the side of the road. Shivering. It was raining earlier and I guess it must have fell off from its nest. I tried stroking them but they look terrified. I thought I'll just leave them as they are. Then Sher-Mayne said, "Last time Justin and I tried to save one baby sparow also by trying to put it back to its nest. But somehow the other birds pushed it out from the nest because the baby sparow had the human scent already"

DIE!!! I touched both of them! Then I thought, okla! save one la. So, found a container, put some tissue paper and tucked him in. Then we all went for dinner. The baby bird was left in the car. Warm mah!

After dinner, back in Justin's house, we tried feeding it maggi noodles cos it looks like worms. But the fella didnt want to eat it. Instead, by saying thanks, it pooped on my hand!

Boiling the 'worms'

I tell you it was so tough getting that little thing to eat. Probably also it was very scared lar.

Good thing this humongous poo didnt kena me

We manage to get a video of me at my lame attempt at trying to feed that little bird.





It still refuses to eat. I was worried that it may die when I leave it at home while im at work. Since no one else also can take care of it, I had to leave it outside and hopefully its mom will come save it. By the way, internet said that the human scent thing is just a myth. And that we should leave the birds alone whenever this happens cos its mom will come save them.

I wonder how the bird is doing now. Oh, before going for dinner, I actually named it... Birdy

Sad tale of my car

As the title says, this is a really sad story for me from all the unfortunate events during this whole week.

Wednesday. Dad and bro went to watch a movie. So my mom and I had take dinner on our own. I drove and we decided to goto Watan to a roadside chinese stall. When we were reaching the place, we saw pasar malam. Crap, which means that the stall would be closed. Lousy pasar malam would occupy the road, leaving no place for the stall.

So, we had to turn back. In order to turn back, I had to do a 3-point-turn. So okay lah! no problem. As I went for the first point, driving slowly I heard.. crocccck!! It came from my car's front skirt. Reversed to check..crocccck!! again! I rushed out to check... it had crack all the way down. Argh! my skirting!! And the thing that broke it was a rock a size of a football! I didnt see it. Two pieces of my skirting dangling at my car bumper now. Then, I thought nevermind la, after dinner I'll use super glue or something to patch them back.

We then headed to another place for dinner and when we got back home, to my horror I saw that one part of the skirting had fell off somewhere while I was driving! gone! how to stick them back?? I didnt think it could fall off! Now my car looks weird. Like Boh-Geh (hokkien: no teeth) like that.

Boh-Geh car

Just my luck. But this is just one of it. The second part is, for the past 1-2 weeks, my car has been producing this annoying noise "wrrroooonnnggg" whenever I drive past 40km/h. The loudness will increase with speed and so it is especially loud when I hit the highways. Imagine, its so loud it sounded like I changed my exhaust!

The third thing is, my Proton's superior power window died. On the driver's side. You know, I had always laughed at people who had to open their door to pay toll and how they had to twist and turn their arms to reach the toll collector's hand... I had to do it now and so I always go for the last toll booth so people dont catch me opening my door and perform snake-like moves with my arm. ugh..

So I planned to take my car to repair it on Friday since i wasn't working on that day. Brought my car to the Proton Service Center in Taman Kosas and mentioned about the power window and noise. My dad had earlier said that it could be the wheel bearings that caused the noise. Told the mechanic about the problem and he suspected that it was from the front wheels. The checked the bearings and suspension but couldnt find any problem. But as for the power window, it was a faulty switch and they replaced it. Good! no more snake arms!

The mechanic said that it must be the tyres causing the noise, and mentioned that it could be the alignment and all and advised me to goto a tyre shop. So, I went and took the tyre mechanic for a spin to let him hear the noise. Straight away he found out that it was the back wheel's bearings making the noise. Nonsense! So, I went back to the service center and told them. So finally they changed the bearings at the back. Wasted my time only.

My car in their mercy

It cost me RM100! crap! I thought if it was cheap, I could replace my skirting which would be around 100 plus. Sigh. Not a chance now..

My poor car will be Boh-Geh for another month.. I, on the other hand will be Boh-Bin ( No face)

Who's in to watch them smooch? Part 2

Who's in to watch them smooch?

From the last post, I've got some really interesting comments. Especially this, Nick is willing to kiss Kam fwei if paid handsomely! John Reuben says Nick has to kiss Kam Fwei for 5 seconds! (if lips to lips maybe less then 5 secs la..)

2. Making a bridge, back facing down

4. Sit with legs at the side. Like a frog.

I have placed a poll again on the best video. Vote for your favourite!

My new Flashlight

I recently read an article in Surefire's Magazine and it inspired me to get a flashlight! ya! A whopping new flashlight!

It was about a married couple who were out late, when suddenly a robber came with a knife and forced them to hand over their belongings. The guy, who had a new Surefire L4 with him flashed the robber with the capability of causing temporary blindness. When blinded, he kicked off the knife from the robber's hand and wrestled him to the ground while his wife went for help.

To me, I was impressed with its ability and I thought to myself, why not get one for safety? You'll never know what will happen right. Why wait for something to happen first? Why not be prepared? Which I did :) I got myself a Fenix L2D. RM175.




I think it looks cool. Metallic black, sleek, heavy and solid. It actually looks like a sniper scope! This sucker is made of aircraft grade aluminum that u can whack someone's eyes off with it!

The brightness of a flashlight is based on the term 'lumens'. The higher the lumens, the brighter. I think most of you would have heard about maglite right? Lets compare.

Mini Maglite

This maglite mini uses 2 AA batteries. With this, it gives out 15 lumens.

However, my L2D which also uses 2 AA batteries gives out an impressive 135 lumens! So now you know how come it causes temporary blindness. Now all those baddies out there, watch out! When I walk alone or see someone suspicious, I am prepared and be on my guard already. But of course, our sense of safety and strength is always primarily from God.

You know, somehow holding this flashlight and switching it on and off kinda make me feel as tho I'm in a movie, like this...

How I imagine myself

But, unfortunately in real life, I look like this...

Some jedi wannabe

Well, my brother was the one who started this flashlight craze in my family. He has a surefire G2. And so does Iggy (yellow colour)

Surefire G2

This one gives 65 lumens if im not mistaken. RM199. However, it shines yellow but mine shines white. Technically yellow light gives better distance and can penetrate through air better. ( same applies to car headlamps). So, even though it is only 80 lumens, it is brighter than mine. Chis

Taken and edited by my brother, Jeremy

Well for those who are starting to get interesting in flashlight after reading this post, watch this video on Fenix vs Surefire vs Maglite





Haha sometimes Im just evil. I like flashing it into people's faces. Even mine. Which in the event, gives me a headache. And after that when I close my eyes, I can see the end of the tunnel ( if u know what I mean..)

Oh I forgotten to add this, but since JR brought it up, yes, i use it as a substitute weapon and since I cant bring out my switch blade and baton, I bring my Flashlight!

Funny Sunday

Last Sunday during sermon, something really interesting/ amusing happened.

Sui Li was wearing this bangle (white with polka dots) and Angeline took to have a look at it. She was fidgeting around with it and she started to slide her hand in. It was loose. Then trying to do something different, she slided it higher above her elbow and was surprised that it could go that high. Then when she tried taking it off, u might have guessed it, it got stuck!

I was watching her the whole time and I couldn't believe what I just saw. I started laughing. She was still trying to pull it off but I couldn't control myself. I know I shouldn't have laughed but I couldn't help it. Ha ha ha. Finally when i regain consciousness, I tried helping her.




It was really stuck so I poured some water over her arm to make it slippery. Didnt work. Finally after some yanking and pulling, she managed to free herself from the clutches of Polka-Bangle!

But in the process, she hurt herself. Poor thing..

This isn't Nicholas' arm

You know, Daniel Loo was behind us and was laughing so hard the whole time. I was so afraid that Pastor Ronnie would scold us in front of the pulpit. So the whole time I had to tell him not to make a commotion

The next thing I know, he took the bangle and manage to get his hand stuck. Yea.. I know. 3 cheers for the genius Daniel Loo. At that time, I didn't know whether I was highly amused or highly shocked by his new found intelligence. And you know what's the best thing he said "Eh!!! how to go up on stage like this later?? ". I tell you, it sounded so ridiculous I was bending over laughing my head off! That fella was on duty that week and I really dont wanna imagine him playing the bass with that bangle on him! New fashion ah??

This guy just realize that he shouldn't have done that

Jonathan Chia started pulling it for him and the fella started yelling! Remember that all this happened during service. I could feel that pastor was looking at us from the stage d. Die la I thought, because of this genius, we'll all kena d la. It was so stuck that no matter how hard he tried yanking it, it just wouldn't come off. Finally after 5 minutes he manage to take it off just before the musicians were called up to stage.

Good thing nothing bad happened. Anyway after service we had to wait for Fook Sim who's in a meeting to go for lunch. While waiting, Jocelyn and Kears probably started to get bored and Jocelyn started chasing Kears around on the second floor. Kam Fwei as usual, was there looking emotional again. Kam fwei, Nicholas, Angeline and I were watching them.

Scene from a horror movie. Nope, its just Jocelyn.

Then Kam Fwei said, "The next time Kears pass us, we catch him!!" and so we did. Here is how it went



For some unknown reason, I actually find it funny to do this to someone. Ha Ha Ha.

From today, from all the numerous events, we can only learn from them to help us survive in this world. Learn from the guru...

Lesson 1: Never play with someone else's stuff. In an unfortunate event, it might just become yours, parmanently.

Lesson 2: Learn from lesson 1 and don't think your hand is smaller than victim 1. You might just become victim 2.

Lesson 3: If you became victim 3, you need help.

Lesson 4: Do not try this during service.

Lesson 5:Jocelyn is scary

Gua Tempurung Trip

The bunch of youth went for an outing in Gua Tempurung yesterday.

Okay, let me tell you how the whole day went

Bus was gonna leave at 8am. We were all supposed to meet in church at 7.45am before the bus comes. Then donno which genius, oh i think it was Daniel Loo said wanna go for breakfast at 7am at Ampang Jaya. Siao. So okay la, I called Angeline, Kam Fwei, my brother, Iggy and Shannon.

Since everytime some people just can't be punctual, Fook Sim suggested that the late one belanja the group. Haha. Confirm my breakfast is free already LOL.

So anyway, I woke up and fetched my brother and Angeline and headed to the place (Shannon following behind). Crazy, it was still dark, and raining. The first guy we saw there, Kam Fwei! we reached at 7am sharp. So memang, free breakfast d. ha ha ha.

Waited awhile and Daniel loo came with his 2 sisters. 2 minutes late! lousy fella. The fella coming up with excuses la. Father slow la, sisters slow la. Then we started ordering first.

Suddenly, after 10 minutes, Fook Sim drove past! This was how his story goes


Us: HAHAHAHA! Thank you la! Why so late?
Fook Sim: Aiyo! Donno la, woke up late la. Last night slept so late.
Us: What time did u wake up?
Fook Sim: 6.50. Then i thought sure can make it one. Wont be the latest! somemore raining. Everyone sure late one la. So i rushed. Then, when im reaching the place.. i saw Kevan's car. Alamak! Then saw kam fwei's car! Then i look for Daniel loo's car.... YESSSSSSS!!!!!!! Dont have!!

But when he looked at the shop, to his horror he saw all of us taking up 2 tables. We saw him banging his steering wheel (literally)

Fook Sim: Eh i thought just the few of us one?? Y until sister brother all come one??? -_-


So, being a sport, he really paid for all of us. Around 30 bucks i think. ha ha ha. Betul Betul free breakfast. And the funny thing was, he rushed over from home without even changing. So he had to go home and change. Came to pay only. LOL.

Ok, during the journey there, the bus broke down. Stopped at the side of the road. Battery conked out! Havoc la in the bus. So no choice, waited in the bus. Then, Some of the boys wanted to pee. So okay la, we asked them to goto the side and answer nature's call. But the girls, all full of curiosity started peeping out the window! all grinning!

Me: Oi! Dont look la! people trying to pee la!
Girls: hehehehehehe! *grins* hehehehe *peeps* hehehehhe

I tell you, imagine the amount of pressure the boys have. Must perform well. Wanna tembak also must tembak properly

Later Kam Fwei wanted to go also. I felt like going to so i followed. Then, that joker said," eh! come la we see who can tembak the furthest..."

-_-

I agreed. So the competition began. I started 'shooting'. The fella, nothing came out.

Me: Eh! why you nothing one???
Kam Fwei: eh, cannot come out la! I donno why la! the fella dowan to come out!

I tell you, i was tempted to turn and 'shoot' him instead.

Finally, Kam fwei did it with the others

Why must they stand so far from each other?

Wondering what to do..

If i stand sexy , hopefully someone stops..

Angeline and I blocking the exit. No one leaves

jocelyn. donno who she's scolding

Inside the cave

Catching people from the rock slide so they wont fall off

Horrified faces waiting for their turn to slide

Someone fell off!! nah, just kidding

never seen that smile before

Doing ballet

Outside the cave. Lunch!

I havent eat la. Nothing in my mouth ok!

Fook Sim: No pictures ah i tell you!
Jocelyn: look, Im smilling d, faster take la

Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. But as most of you don't know, we almost couldn't enter the wet part in the cave due to the late arrival. Through prayers, we could.

My legs ache when I reached home. This is worse than playing football.
