My own war...

I've never been so grateful after checking my face out at the bathroom mirror today..

Throughout my young adult life I was suffering with ACNE...it was tough and it destroyed most of my confidence, especially around the opposite sex. It does not affect my work that much but it does not help me much when I was arounf my collegues.
Nothing seemed to work, all those super magic products they show on TV just does not work on me. Trust me I've tried almost all of them!

At times I'm so frustated and very dissapointed with myself for not able to cure my acne. I even tried that cover your face with Acne hair style. It was bad and it ruined my life. Everyday I would check my face thoroughly to check whether there is a new one, I've tried not popping the little bugger but that does not help new ones making my their home.

Then I decided I'm not going to lose and declared them "terrorists", and like Bush decided to smoke them out!
I decided that only a dermatologist can help me. If it would cost me a house I would do it, there is no reason to turn back now! It's me against Acne and I'm not about to lose to those little ugly things!

It took me almost 2 years to eradicate the "Terrorists" of my face. Today they published pictures from my last annual company dinner, imagine looking at my clean face after the long battle...if only the dermatologist knew how much confidence and happiness I gained!

Well I'm still on some cream to lighten up my "battle" scars which i have to continue for another year or so, but hey it's all worthwhile! My advise if you have acne just go to the dermatologist and not waste time!

Saddam's sons dead

Well most of the US administration is rejoicing at the moment with their latest victory. I guess it's all good the sons had never had anything positive written about them anyway. With all the violence they inflicted on their people their death is most probably welcomed by the majority.

though a part of the Guardian article bothered me,
"The dynasty is broken. If Saddam is still alive, this is the worst punishment that could be devised: it is not only his sons but perhaps his oldest grandson [a teenage boy, possibly Qusay's son, was reported to be among the dead]. The symbolism is almost biblical.. It's a comment by one of the military analyst in the article.

That itches me, when the shooting was happening was there a possiblity the US army was even trying not to shoot the boy. The boy could be spawned by an evil man, but does that make him an auto-enemy?

The 2nd First Annual Bolehwood Awards 2003 – The Director's Cut - Mayor lifts ban

The Star reported that ICT can perform their "The 2nd First Annual Bolehwood Awards 2003 – The Director's Cut" play as indicated by the KL Mayor.

That's a relief I thought the politicians are losing their humor......

I think entertainment should always be let loose for all Malaysian to indulge in, maybe it's not always favourable to the goverment but most of the plays or shows represent Malaysian the best...most of the entertainmet present their aspirations or their take at daily life.

You would never know how you act around people until someone imitates you..right?

The goverment should use this plays to plan the social direction of the Rakyat. Thinking negatively is never the way forward.

I'm saying if you're a politician you would always be in a spotlight, if you can't take criticism then you might want to consider doing something else..once you make desicions for the people then the people would have their rights to give opnions about you even if is not favourable or it's just down right silly.

New bike...

that's it I'm going for a new bike...the old bike is just not cutting it...

What da ya mean? It's not Thursday yet?!

imagine waking up and thinking it's Thursday when it's only wednesday...I was on high gear the whole way even the traffic didn't bother me that much.

High sprited only to boot-up my pc with indication Wednesday is still around. Salary is only going to come in on Friday, so I guess it won't hurt to be a bit thrifty with the spending for 2 more days ;-)

no prob though had my cup of Milo while still having some of the earlier enthusiasm going, launched my internet radio..and guess what? "Beautiful Day" by U2 broadcast right away after the usual buffering...maybe Wednesday won't be that bad to be in after all?

Polygamy

Had one of the heaviest rain yesterday..My dumb bike broke down halfway and I was left standing in the rain figuring out how am I going to go home or at least fix the bike.

Cyberjaya is not a place you want to be in if you're stuck in the rain. Crap, double crap.

So there I was standing with water dripping off me...then I guess God took pity on me and send a taxi along. So taxi stops (thank god!). So after much discussion he agreed to send me to Serdang's KTM. well ok then..what to do I'm in his mercy..

We went along the rain slowed down halfway so that got me thinking I were to wait a while longer the rain might have stopped and I didn't have to take this taxi..well it's too late now.

Along the way we chatted on various topics, I do this in hope he won't slaughter me on the cab fare...so you know I entertained him so he should keep the fair down..fare meter is out of the question if you're stranded!

What was interesting with the whole conversation was when he said he had 2 wives...and I go "wow that 's incredible". With an amused face he also said he has 8 children with one more on the way...

Ok 2 wives is one thing 9 children? That's two shy from a complete Soccer Team? With two more he can even put his wives on reserve and compete in the national League!

I was of course amazed...you got to understand Marriages is something I find quite hard to do. With so many divorces in the country and so many social ills that was atrributed from it does not make it something I look forward to do in the future...

They always say that children is "rezeki" from god. Well I agree. But 9 children? You got to be kidding me?

Imagine when you were in school a class of 30 students is hard to manage. 9 children full-time? take your time and imagine...take your time...

Yup. i think it's tad irresponsible of him to not control himself...abortion is not right but not controlling is not right too.

He's a cab driver. He got to at least buy or rent 2 houses. Feed 2 wives and top all that 9 childrens. Imagine the amount of money and care involved. The reason for the marriages, when he was younger both of the woman was his girlfriend, due to love he felt obligated to break-off with either of them...oooook...

I pity the wives who would never get his undivided attention...but the children I do not think would even get the minimal attention. emotional and economics is would definitely play a big part.

I'm not saying it's wrong but this sometimes irks you out...big time...

Most probably he's doing a good job in managing this...but hey I couldn't see how I could agree with what he's doing.

Well i didn't want to say he's wrong straight on his face (coward) but he seems to make it sound as if it's all right.

By the way he charged me RM10 from Cyberjaya to Serdang's Komuter station...ok lah...

Modern Linguistics...

I'm totally busy reading this in between my task at work...

Did not blog Monday..

well i missed Monday..been feeling a bit down last weekeend most probably I'm just tired of the excessive work that I'm required to do last Saturday..

nothing much but it kept me off from sleeping the normal hours...

So what do I think about blogging..kind of fun especially when no one knows I'm doing one...

Went out with my GF yesterday to see her brother..she told me he was kind of sad and up to an extent was crying because he has to be away to study..I gave her the strange look and then laughed my ass of...insensitive monkey I am..

Well I calm myself down and tried not to laugh...I'm sorry I can't imagine people missing each oter that much. Maybe I don't have anybody that I miss that much..or I feel nobody would actuall miss me if I'm gone anyway...

Or could it be that hide myself in an emotional fort that nobody could get in and in turn is impossible for me to get out?

When I was younger I just lurvv to cry my eyeballs out..I do especially when I'm losing..yup I'm a weener, well I was young and winning is always a thing with me that I can't have without..

Well it follows me all the way even when I grew older...not the crying but the winning thing...all the way from trying to earning the most money to driving the fastest car..

When Parents decide to get a divorce the thing that got people talking is how will it affect the children...

Yes my parents are divorced, and I'm not mad at them...not that I know off. I always take pride that the effect did not rub on me...but come to think of it when i grew older I became less sensitive about people's needs that I could not care less about companionship or what people taught of it.

To me if you're alone and you earn enough money and you're strong you'll have a better chance at surviving in life...

So does my parents divorcing had any thing to do with my blueprint? I do not know, and if it does I'm not admitting.

'Darn Good'

"I think the intelligence I get is darn good intelligence. And the speeches I have given were backed by good intelligence," Bush said
You got to blipping kidding me..."Darn good"? What happen to "accurately reported"? Has everybody became Pariah's of George Bush's Uniletaral ambitions? When I'm at work i have to double check everthing that I do. I think that isn't the case with CIA..after all what do you have to worry about intelligence reporting especially when it's only aboput deploying a thousand bombs over Iraqi's civilians...right?

Maybe we'll be attacked next when someone farted a tad bit too loud near a CIA official...that would be real "darn good"!!!

Saving Private Lynch....

After much hooha it was all a big joke...click here to find out what the BBC reported...sigh!

Tired...Old....

I notice everytime I felt tired getting old seems to linger on my mind...until a few days ago when my Girlfriend complaint that I'm childish in character..not the nagging character but the fun character!!

That cheered me up and the fact that I'm still in the "young adult" category really made me excited about what the future holds for me. I hate feeling old. When i was in high school I was the shortest among the guys and I always had the boyish look..the kind when you're 16 people would say I look like 13 or something. I had teenagers calling me "adik" even when iwas 21 - 22.

Just imagine these I look so young that the boucers at the the discos is still asking me for my IC! and I'm already 23! well since i got my credit card they're not asking for my IC anymore..though I kinda miss that harrassment!


When I was working everybody always look at me as if I was a kid walking around trying to act like an adult...it kinda suck whenever people discredit me because of my looks but on the bright side people is willing to teach me because it lifts their spirit up...you know like having a protege!you're the master training the appretice...jedi babay!


I remembered when I was working in one company when my position was shared by a few other people...they all are in their late 20's and I was only 19 at the time. Well I end up getting bullied and doing all the work...but due to the enthusiasm at that time I took it on. Since the work involves a lot of support work and people interaction i got to learn a lot especially people skills!

well it took me only three months before I shift out to a better job...well most of them I believe is still there..they have work there for a long time and I do not see them are moving out of that company anytime soon..you know when you feel old you'll settle down faster..


I guess the moral of the story is you'll only old if you let yourself feel old...I'll always try to avoid that as long as I can even though my Girlfriend would want otherwise!

My perception of being old is when you're disgusted with your life...but then again looking at all this maried "old" man chasing aroung young ladies doesn't make my perception anyway acceptable!

There is a lot of sites about why people is bad in Maths

I'm not dumbo after all! Huh!

I feel better already!

Privacy..

The Star posted a news on how MyKad is under utilised! I don't know but I'm still not that comfortable in storing all my info on one kad...I can think of a lot of ways a smart person with bad intentions can have that info and put them to use..

Imagine with one swipe, the other person could retrieve your bank acc, marital stats, race, religion, age and stuff...I don't know man...

I'm an all out supporter for Technology but not at the expense of my privacy. Whatever I do or have shouldn't be tagged by a device....

Could Technology and Privacy co-exist?

Criminal Activity on the rise

Snacth Thieves are so daring this days! Yesterday I went to Taipan, USJ and saw a motorcyclist snatching someone's handbag at about 9pm.

At that time the traffic was so dang busy you can't even walk properly. I stop and tried to give chase but failed. The victim's boyfirend (I think.) gave up half way...

This is the first time I saw this happening in Subang/USJ. So my question is Criminal activity on the rise in Subang/USJ? I think so...I've also heard there is an average of 30 cars missing every night! I can't confirmed that but it did give me a rude awakening. I'm thinking of getting another car lock..I already have 2!

After the incident I felt disgusted that I couldn't do anything to help..but the again I don't even see police patrolling in Taipan either.

PRM...Rejected!

PAS and PRM are at it again some people just don't learn.


This is why the opposition will lose again on the next election. Everytime the election is around the corner nobody could decide on the kind of goverment they're planning to run! I have doubts voting for them... Imagine if BA were come to power, we have people with diffrent ideologies running the country.......imagine BA with their leaders arguing over evrything, it would be a mess.

I think they should contest separately. PAS would definitely fare better.

Changing Regime...

“Pak Lah announces there won't be a drastic change ...could that be good? I was hoping someone would get the boot...someone in public transportation would be nice! Look at MetroBus with that kind of service (don't le me start on the bus!) they are still able to operate legally...I find that very strange!

but then again maybe the goverment is thinking all her Rakyat likes to travel in a bus that smells like dirty socks and is hot as hell when afternoon breaks.

Lets Latte!!!

Imagine that you're in a fancy Coffee place:-

A: Haven't seen you in a long time.
B: Ohh I was busy blogging
A: Me too!
B: You too.
A: Hold on I will be back with my overpriced coffee...

Lets Latte...will soon replace Jom la minum teh tarik soon which is quite sad, I can't afford the 8 bucks coffee seriously man...at a Mamak stall you get 5 teh tarik at least. Drinking 5 teh tariks at one go is quite a task I would say!

When I was younger drinking Ice Milo is like drinking Ice Blended today! And yet I see all this kids hanging around there everyday...geez!! did they rob a bank or something? And I also see all this young exec taking dates there every damn day...it makes me wonder am I underpaid? and when i was in school or college was my allowance too little?

Anyway hanging around this places does have it's perks...the girls that hangs there are nicely dressed and if you're lucky you'll get a J-Lo wannabe!....Yum.

To Blog or not to Blog....

Blogging. It's great to be one of those IT savvy people who writes on this medium..make me feel kinda cool..."in the crowd" and stuff... ;-)..everybody's doing it why shouldn't I do it too?

I'm so cool I'm thinking of getting a PDA to look cooler while having my 2000 bucks phone hanging around my neck....hehehehe...this is too cool!

Well it's a new thing for me to look after after my number of e-mail accounts...so hopefully I could keep this updated form time to time....
