Finally!

After getting some help from a helpful website, I got rid of the problem by clearing my cache and cookies. Now it looks so much better, but my mood to post what I had in mind is ruined, and besides, I feel kinda sleepy and need rest soon.

But anyways, I shall post up something else. Finally met up with Henry last week for the FIRST time since Highway Engineering finals and we went to 1 Utama before eating dinner. We met this 2 dudes who were all in white (even their faces!) and freezing in different poses while standing on a certain platform.

Aaron Lat jokingly said he wanted to join them, so we decided to sabo him and make him post with them. He resisted, but caught their attention. From that point on there was no escaping...

Aaron looks uncomfortable

Then Kee Siong also wanted to try... But the white guy who tried to kiss Aaron pakat with me to play a trick on Kee Siong. We made him freeze in that position for a very long time and pretended not to have taken the shot, when in reality we took the shot in less than 5 seconds.

The longest pose ever...

Shortly after, we bumped into this "flasher" who flashed at Aaron.

Dunno whether shocked or interested =P

I Can't Post Pictures

I have been facing a problem with my posting. I can't seem to use the traditional "COMPOSE" method to publish my posts, and only the html mode is available. This is highly frustrating. Anyone have a solution?

The Orphan

It's been quite a while. Haven't been able to go online for a long time. But I'm back from a week of wonderful blessings. Have been having so many free dinners the whole week, and to top it off Renae won some tickets to watch the premiere of The Orphan, which was in GSC Midvalley Megamall. Unfortunately she couldn't make it, so Aaron Lat followed me to catch it.

Started out early to try to avoid the jam, but as usual the roads were jammed up all the way from the Damansara exit toll until the ss2 junction. It was going to rain, as the lightning was flashing all over the sky. Seemed like a great atmosphere before catching a horror movie. =)

Unfortunately I couldn't quite catch the lightning on camera though. Well, after a rather jammed up journey to Midvalley, we finally got there early enough to collect the tickets.

*Spoiler Warning*

The Orphan revolves around the story of a couple with 2 kids of their own who, after losing a possible third child in a miscarriage, decides to adopt an orphan and love her as their own.

In the orphanage, the husband stumbles upon a particularly bright and well-mannered 10-year old girl who goes by the name of Esther. The couple are immediately captivated by her maturity and her charming way of conversation. They would take her into their household. For a while life seems to be getting brighter and more cheerful, but will it remain so? Or is Esther really who she seems to be?

All-in-all a great thrilller that will excite you and keep you interested right up to the last moment. And NO, Esther is NOT a ghost, nor does she possess any supernatural abilities that make her dangerous. That's it, I'm not going to spoil the movie for the rest of you. But yeah, do watch it. =D

*Spoilers end here*

So i would say this is a good movie for all horror enthusiasts. =) Oh, and those who love SAW and Final Destination too. Thanks again sweet! =)

The Prank

Was supposed to have dinner at 6 p.m. today. But since Desmond couldn't make it so we postponed it to 7 p.m. Me, Thean Jern and Lat were waiting for Kee Siong to come to Taman Bahagia LRT station. We waited from 6.30 p.m....

... and waited...

... right until 8 p.m. T_T

So we decided to devise a plan to "teach" him a lesson. We were gonna pretend that we're really mad at him, to the point that we don't wanna talk in the car, turn off the radio and make everything really tense. We even planned the taglines. It was a fool-proof plan.

So when he finally turned up, we put on our serious faces and acted really cold and disappointed in his late showing. I kick-started it by turning around coldly and saying softly, "Let's go,". Thean Jern put on an angry face and refused to talk to Kee Siong or even look at him. I started the car and the radio was playing. I said to Lat quietly, "Turn off the radio,"

It was really quiet and tense in the car... He was really feeling it. Until Lat talked to him. =.=

We continued to play the game until dinner but eventually the effect was diminished so I decided to reveal it to him. At least he gave a sigh of relief and said that my acting was very realistic, and also that Thean Jern seemed angry at him, even at moments giving comments that indicated his disapproval towards Kee Siong's "offence".

Lat potong stim la... *smacks head*

First Internship Visit

Tomorrow. At exactly 9 a.m. is the first internship visit. Okay, that is the time my work starts. Makes me feel like I have to wake up even earlier tomorrow, and can't sleep until 8.30 a.m. =(

Well, I'll be getting my CIDB authorized Green Card tomorrow, which officially grants me legal access to the construction sites (when I've actually been to the construction sites so many times already!) .

Ir. Arazi will be coming but he actually canceled his visits yesterday because of an unexpected incident. I pray that he will be fine, and that the visit will yield a good result tomorrow, cause i'm not sure what i'm supposed 2 do.

What Happened to the Dogs?

Quick update #1: I have not been online for a long time. Just felt bored of going online for a while.

Quick update #2: Liverpool 5 - 0 Singapore!! This shows 2 things. Liverpool > Man Utd & Malaysia > Singapore!! (tongue in cheek)

If you do recall the post about my supervisor's fearsome dogs, here's a little update on what happened to them. It seems the dogs have been at the shelter for a month or so and they have become fatter. But they have also taken up a new interest-- WOMEN!!

By this I mean female dogs. Their latest endeavour has earned them scars and bruises, and my supervisor decided to bring them some acriflavine lotion, which is why we got to visit them.

Injured soldier-in-love

Just in case you were wondering about what happened to that little puppy that they bullied. She's a little more grown up now, and they've gotten used to her and stopped barking at her. In fact, she can even get away with messing around with them and she helps them lick their wounds. Since then they have found a new target to unleash their fury upon, and they do so without any mercy. That unfortunate victim happens to be another dog over there.

Mischievous puppy

Other than that, managed to bring gf to The Curve and IKEA finally. We had some nice meatballs though. =D And I love this pic!

My "Malaysian" Weekend

Hi. Haven't been around for the weekend, so this post is kinda delayed a little. Have been doing many things throughout the weekend and it was really fruitful. Gf decided to come down because I got the free tickets for us. But the real story started from friday after work.

FRIDAY

My colleague said, "Hey, stay back a while. The new GM has a treat for us," When I went out, what caught me by surprise was not that it was a durian feast, but the sheer amounts of durian that came. A WHOLE TRUCK came all the way from Penang, carrying a whole load of durians (especially "Red Prawn")

They even had the workers from Penang

Mangosteens and rambutans to cool you down

The other people in the office, normally very reserved and dignified, all of a sudden turn into "hungry ghosts" when they saw the durians.

Crowding around the truck

After grabbing a durian, eat it the traditional Malaysian way!

They eat so fast that at times the shell is left when you get there =(

The "view" outside my office

I myself managed to grab quite a lot of durians despite having to "fight" the others for it. I left at 6.30 p.m. as I didn't want to be late for cell group but I heard later on that the people even stayed beyond 7.30 p.m., still eating durians!

I skipped dinner because I was running late for cell, so Aaron and I decided we would go for makan after cell. But praise God for another blessing. The young adults' pastor bought us pizzas from Domino's so we had free dinner again. =D

SATURDAY

Went to watch the Malaysia XI vs Manchester United match. After lining up for ages just to buy train tickets and squeezing into trains with many red t-shirt-clad people, we reached Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil.

So many people crowding around trying to get in

The rush!

After running up and down a whole lot of stairs, we finally found 2 places where we had a pretty good view, even though my camera couldn't really capture how good the view was.

The lineup being announced

The packed stadium of die-hard devils

Match underway, my camera couldn't catch the celebrations properly =(

The match was really interesting, and whatever others might say, Malaysia performed well by scoring 2 goals, losing 2-3 by a stroke of luck that allowed Michael Owen to score his first goal in months.

Later on we headed down to Berjaya Times Square and had some nice thai food at VERY THAI restaurant. Then finally let gf try Krispy Kreme. Hope she really enjoyed herself though, since it was her 21st birthday the day after. =D If you wanna read more bout the Man United match, Thai food and the Krispy Kreme, you can read this.

All-in-all, it was a wonderful weekend! =D
