6 Bestari, Inc.

I was thinking, if my elementary school graduating class formed a company, we’d be an immensely successful worldwide conglomerate.

We have a couple of mechanical engineers who will come up with advancements and designs. A finance and econs major who will work hand in hand with the other econs majors to manage our funds and cashflow. A couple of actuaries to calculate and manage our company’s investments, risk and acquisitions. An in-house dietitian/nutritionist to give health and living advice. An in-house doctor to treat cases of (hopefully not in-house) food poisoning. A lawyer who will (hopefully) defend us should our engineers infringe on some unknown copyright. An industrial engineer to study and ensure the company’s continuous improvement and increased efficiency.

Those are only those that I remember. I’ll edit this post as I get more information.

Psychic Singers

Does being bald mean he has more surface area to channel his brainwaves to and fro? In any case, as soon as I felt it, this song came on the radio.. damn I like this guy’s songs.

Daughtry – Over You

Now that it’s all said and done,
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I’m putting my heart back together,
‘Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.


Sunrise

Sunrise means : the (near) future is bright.

I think I will postpone the car crash story until after I survive the upcoming 6 hour drive, during which alot can happen.

Today was my last day of work on the SmokyHillsWindFarm. It’s been a privilege.


Thnx Fr Th Mmrs (& Phtoshp)

Though it’s not my BB, it’s a big BB sign.. so.. BB!! Miss BB..

That’s my father. He’s not young, so go figure.

I hope he doesn’t see me like this. He might stop funding my studies here in the US on grounds that it’s screwing with my mind. (hrm.. this was taken when I went to 1U and saw Grace though, before US. Maybe she was screwing with my mind. She was. Yes that’s right. Long live Napoleon..)

And then I saw this! haha.. foretelling?

..of impending disaster of national proportions?? I don’t see what the fuss is, really. I mean when we already do have a level of perpaduan as a rakyat. As shown below :

Bersatu menuju puncak (-puncak Blu).

Hubungan sejenis – bukan tahun 2020, tapi 2002. Harap kita telah maju sejak masa itu.

In any case, there have been plenty of emotions flying around since then, chief among which having to do with relationships..

BUT…A girl’s quintessential defense mechanism. Once she deploys this, consider yourself ignored.

Wet lips and short hair, with another chick = recipe for (b)ownage. With that introduction, we move on to the SCANDALOUS picxxx..

Mine, at least. Wonder if someone will show me.. (wtf this isn’t scandalous?? Relax, I’m starting from 0.1 level of scandalous and going up.. ;)

Two people who think they’re cool, dressing as if Malaysia is a cold place. Scandal, I tell you, how pretentious some people are. (2.0)

Man, these 2 put makeup on, but somehow failed to use concealer on their noses. Scandal, I tell you, my knowledge of makeup terms and how unpretentious some people are. (3.9)

..is to take beautifully posed shots. Scandal, I tell you, how nice this picture turned out. :D Credits to Jin and Princess Eva. (4.0.. best GPA)

This shows how vulnerable even intelligent Bank Negara Scholars (hrm.. one scholar, one daughter) are to displays of emotion.. (5.0)

LOL. xD (6.7)
Again, scandalous I tell you, how nice the picture turned out. Credit to myself. By the way, clicking that brings you back here. HAHA. However, if you notice the male subject’s choice of wording on his wardrobe, you’ll see that this was never meant to last.. (7.0)

Scandal! (8.8)
More scandal! (8.9)
And now 2 scandalous people next to each other.. however with the girl’s scandalously (and deliciously) tight outfit it’s hard to concentrate anywhere else, even as much efforts are being made to focus on the (thankfully not so tight) Calvin Klein boxers. (9.0)

And finally, SCANDAL of the 9.8 out of 10 degree! How in the world did this appear, what more with the subject being sober?! I have got to be missing something here! I will investigate as soon as I get back. :D For those who don’t know who Happosai is.. this is him :

From the anime Ranma 0.5, I rarely see him without panties/bra wrapped around his head.

My tribute to the (scandalous) success Apple has been enjoying as a company.

It’s scandalous how good I make that guitar look. Or is it the other way round?

…self-explanatory. hahaha.. we end our scandalous expose here!

Till next time!


A Year Away

So how do you summarize a year of being away from home?

Eventful , Enlightening.

The 2 words that apply most to my experiences here.


The House of Cards

I’ve.. ran out of things to write.

All the things running through my head are the same things as before, and what might be worse is that the paradoxical practice of forgetting memories is akin to building a house of cards, with the top level (with the least cards) on the bottom.

One whiff of a hint of a smidgeon of a picture and the whole effort comes crashing down, as the ghosts that have been pressed (firmly, it was assumed) into the ground come floating out in full force, breaking their way through my non-existent thought filter.

Unfortunately, no amount of fish or white sand is going to help my terminal condition. What I need is a cure of a different sort; a perpetual distraction that will act as a firm foundation for my fragile memory erasing efforts.

A trusted source tell me excessive optimism is dangerous. Does that make a lil gloom and doom desirable?? Let’s see what that mischievous thing we call life throws my way the next few months.


Mandarin Oriental (of Motels)

xD!!

I’ve just moved into the Mandarin Oriental (of Motels)… xD.. it’s not really called that.. it’s called the Traveler’s Lodge.

I wanna remember how this place looks like.. :

The previous dump I stayed in got me disconnected no less than 20 times a night.. and I’d actually reconnect each time.. and when I got fedup, started counting to 20, then stopped trying. They had one router for the whole place. Now, there’s a router outside my ROOM. xD

I can park outside my room! No more stair climbing after a day of hard work..

It doesn’t even cost much.. FIVE bux a week more than the previous place. xD

Everything’s sunshiney here!! xD

To Pencil : 25374 + 1388 as of now. It can only go higher! xD

xD

xD

(if you can’t already tell, I’m very happy xD)

xD!!


Sardines

I miss fish!

Found a variety of canned sardines at the Super Walmart nearby.. ahhh so nice. Goes so well with noodles. Just plain sardines in olive oil.. or some in Louisiana hot sauce.. but all that just reminds me of the fish back home.. here I’m so happy to see/eat sardines.. not the case at home. (I think I just don’t like Ayam Brand’s tomato sauce. They’re great in olive oil..)

Bawal, kembong, selar, parang, kurau, senangin..


Glamorous

“If you ain’t got no money take yo broke ass home!”

Gee.. elle..eyh..emm..oh…arr…oh you ess, yeah..

Flyin first class, up in the skahh..

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Jay Chou is glamorous. Spending $46,000 to decorate a some shop for a kiss. &#^$%#& give me that kinda money I’ll kiss him too man… maybe even for free.. (of course then negotiations for price of pictures with the tabloids will get kinda heated but I think I should be able to secure a good price..)

This schedule of 11-12 hour workdays is kinda hard to get used to.. Literally 3 hours of free time in a day. Get up 4:30am, work till 5:30-6pm.. dinner, come back, chat for 2 hours or so.. then it’s bedtime. Then it repeats.. 6 days a week.

Can’t imagine how it is to have other commitments living like this.

So anyway. Random storytime.

Story #1
Once upon a time, an innocent intern stood in the doorway of a project engineer who happened to have XM radio on his desk. The intern’s heart beat faster as he heard music in his all too busy workplace. KT Tunstall’s Other Side of the World was on. So he started humming the chorus.. “Yooohoour’reeee on the other side….of the world….to meeee..” and suddenly the PE says “Erm, who sang this song again?” “KT Tunstall,” came the reply.

“Right, let’s keep it that way, shall we?”

..and the PE looked up from his computer to find a dead intern, with a big blunt blade stuck right in the middle of his heart.. the PE wondered where it came from.

Story #2
There was once a team of iron workers who came to work on a project. They specialized in tying reinforcement bars together, which were basically iron rods. So happened that one of the foremen’s name was Rodney. He never heard the end of it from the higher-ups. “So, Rodney! Good name for an iron worker.. Rodney Rodbuster! Rodney Rodman.. Hey Rodney how’re ya doin on those rods?”

Rodney the Rodbuster then flashed the Middle Rod of Justice.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Countdown to Fattest paycheck ever.. 2 weeks.

Countdown to Ames.. 29 days.


Yong Qi – Courage

Courage

Finally made the decision, I won’t listen to what other people say
As long as you are also just as certain
I’m willing to follow you to the ends of the earth
I know it all won’t be easy
My heart is always brushing up on convincing itself
I’m most afraid that you’ll suddenly say you want to give up

Love really needs courage to face gossip and rumors
As long as certainty is expressed in your eyes, my love has meaning
We all need courage to believe we’ll be together
In a crowded stream of people I can feel you
Putting your sincerity into my hands

If my adamant headstrong ways will hurt you accidentally
Can you gently remind me? Although my heart is too anxious
I’m more afraid of passing over you.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

I’ve heard this song before. Some years ago. Doesn’t feel like years, really. Has it been that long? Stumbled across it in my playlist. Didn’t even know I had it. Cos it was in those irrecognizable characters the computer shows when it’s supposed to be chinese characters.

She used to sing this. Other songs too, but her voice singing this song still rings clearly in my ears. I don’t know whether I remember her singing or my mind is creating a memory so it doesn’t collapse on itself.

3 years not enough?

Let’s see what happens after 5.

Having good memory isn’t always a blessing.


Picturesque Memories..

Ahh.. what a picture.

Was going through pictures, and came across the Bukit Cahaya Sri Alam at Shah Alam pics.. Haha that trip was good. Really felt relaxed and destressed when we were there..

(L-R) Choon Leong, Jaclyn TSP, me, Mei

So calm.


So calm we decided to sleep on shoes/each other and take photos. I mean seriously, it was a good trip. Very rarely do you get to take pictures of friends in various states of undress.


*gasp*

Kirei..

Another nice pic. I should stop getting good photographic ideas.. always end up being the one behind the camera.. &#%$&%^$.. but that’s where Timer comes in handy! :D

Like this shot :

:9

Hrm.. I’m disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

Hahahahaha..


ME – May 30th 2007

Just a reminder for myself in the future.

“There are no limits, only those you set for yourself.”


Memorial Union – Saturday Crew!

It’s the 2nd last Saturday to work, and it might be the last Saturday I see my supervisor, Edward at work! So we took some photos today..

Zi Ting and me, pumping oil out of the chicken fryer..
I think we’re the only ones who can look happy doing that.. :D Siti Foong is my real partner, but he had a big bling-bling hip-hop dance performance at Fisher Theater, ISU’s theater building. So The ZT stepped in, and it happened to be picture taking day. Lolx.

(L-R) Edward Seputra, Steven Lum, The O.C., The Z.T.


Our supervisor, Edward is the one in red.. haha it’s been fun working with him.. :D

Now you can see why.. lol

(L-R) Siti Foong, The Z.T., The O.C., Edward Seputra, Audrey Pik, Jennifer Tharani

Conveniently, the crew on Saturday is one of staggered heights.

“Whack Edwarddd!!!”

Hahaha.. our parting picture!

I’ll miss the colleagues… not so much the job though haha.
