Monogamy anyone?

Watching the re-run of Sex and The City... it keeps talking about monogamy relationship. Do you believe you can manage with monogamy relationship?

I always thought it is difficult (if not impossible). But I started to believe in it now.... i guess we all grow up and change huh!!

恋曲1980

1st day of November. 2008 is ending soon, did something ''amazing'' last week, amazing people, amazing lunch, amazing venue... but it would be good if friends and family were there. I guess life is not always perfect, and it is tough for a VIRGO (perfectionist) to accept that fact.

It's that time of the year again.. summer is long gone, the fear of cold winter approching. Nothing much you want to do on a Saturday morning other than get a hot drink (I am having Milo today), and listening to some old love songs....Love the first 4 lines:

你曾经对我说
你永远爱着我
爱情这东西我明白
但永远是什么

Below is the link to the song if you want to feel mellow..its 11.30am. I know I shouldn't , but going to open a bottle of wine to cheer my soul(my sister in law said I am like those Indian People in Malaysia...) I guess they drink quite early as well!! ha...

恋曲1980....

你曾经对我说
你永远爱着我
爱情这东西我明白
但永远是什么
姑娘你别哭泣
我俩还在一起
今天的欢乐
将是明天创痛的回忆
啦……
亲爱的莫再说
你我永远不分离
什么都可以抛弃
什么也不能忘记
现在你说的话
都只是你的勇气
春天刮着风
秋天下着雨
春风秋雨
多少海誓山盟随风远去
你不属于我
我也不拥有你
姑娘世上没有人
有占有的权利
或许我们分手
就这么不回头
至少不用编织一些
美丽的藉口

你我明天要分离

pui!!

Lots of people in my company have been made redundant recently (goreng sotong).

I am happy that some of them are leaving (cos they are crap at their job and not very nice to people). For example the HR Manager...she is the most untrractive woman I ever met in my life and nasty.... so glad she is unattractive...ha!!

But there are some nice people who are leaving as well...i felt sorry for them.

My bosses are evils (same as any other businessmen). 2 of them are very young (early 40) and have big head.... they wanted to grow the company and sell it quick, but I think they have not planned it properly. so they have to cut cost now.

They have made up lots of stories to cover up thier mistakes. I feel sick when I see them, they mentioned about passion, loyalty ....bla bla bla in the company meeting today. PUI, PUI, PUI.......

lots of people have not choice, they need the job to pay thier mortgage etc, and they have to stay........ why am i still there? They paid for my visa, if I quit now I have to pay them back the money, it is quite a lot of money (well, enought to do a 10 days trip to MAldives).

I need to stay till April 2009 in order not to pay back the money. I am not sure how am I going to do that....

I really wish I can go to my CEO's office and spit on his face....can i curse him?? ehh, not very nice huh, ok....I believe he won't have good ending.

Back to work...and of course not happy.

Went back to Malaysia for about 10 days... met up with a few friends (not all, cos was in a rush). Good time good break..

Back to work today. Not great, well...didn't expect a good day. Not sure if company is doing ok, majority of our clients are big Banksm and they are in trouble. Lots of poeple in my company has been made redundant...not sure if I should be pleased that I am still there as work load will be increased.

I try to take it easy, try to tell myself that there is only so much I can do and if things go wrong, my boss should make some changes. I hate this attitude, but I don't want to stress myself and stay late every day because my boss want to save more money for his next big yatch or country houses. No, I refuse to do that!!!!

Do you want to know?

Saw the movie --''The Bucket's List'' the other day...not as good as I thought. But the movie talks about something that is always on my mind.....

I always wonder, how nice if I can know when I am going to die, so I can plan my life accordingly.

For example, if I know I am going to die at age 90 yo, I will work my ass out to make sure I have enough money to retire, and maybe I won't travel as much as I am now. And If I know I am dying in 5 yrs time, I will quit my job now, and just spend more time with friends, family and do something I really want to do.

It is so difficult to plan when you don't know how long you are going to live. You work like shit, save like hell, and who knows....the terrorist bomb your office, or the train you are on.....

But according to the movie, they did a survey, and only 4% of the people are like me. Most of the people rather not know!!!!

然后怎样

我怕谁失望 ?

我为谁而忙 ?

我最初只贪玩为何变负担

为何我的问题总得等待别人的答案
--------------------------------

Like this lyric from Eason's new song: 然后怎样

I think most of the people who are single will aks themselves the first 2 questions very often....

Sunday

Sunday...

Like any other day of the week, it can be bored, insteresting, cheerful, and even depressing..

I hope today is going to be a cheerful sunday for everyone (oh ya...it would be a cheerful one for either the Spanish or the German, depending on who is winning the Euro 2008 Cup this evening)...

Go España....

No ....don't want to go back to work

Took a week off to have a break in the busy summer. Summer is the busiest time in International Moving Industry (because those expats with kids in school tent to move to another countries during summer school holiday)...

I am not sure how long I can stay at my company doing what I am doing.. I have never done the same role for more than 3 years. Guess I need some new challenge. However, it is difficult to move on....sigh.. $$$$. and Money is my main motivation now, I keep pushing them to give me more $$, as long as they match my offer, I will stay longer. I know they will turn around and say 'no' to me one day, and there is not much I can do except looking for another higher pay job.

I wonder how many people actually are loving their jobs. A very famouse UK TV prensenter accepted a life time achievement award few weeks ago, and he said something like....

''I have never worked for a single day in the last 25 years, cos I am doing something I really like, and I wouldn't call it a job...''

Lucky him.

c'est la vie

Sister-In-Law, her sis and aunt visited Europe for about 12 days, took them to Netherlands and Belgium, and they stayed at my place for about 7 days.... good fun, good food, and they cooked a few nice meals for me....

they are on the plane now...

the flat is so quiet...and I hate this feeling, the feeling of being alone after a busy week entertaining them.

But I know this is life.... as the Frech say....c'est la vie.

Good bye and take care, i will see u all in Malaysia.

Happy Mother's Day....

It's mother's day today in most part of the world (in UK, it is in March).

Mother...
a figure (person) that most of us are blessed to have and may take it for granted sometimes.

It must be one of the thoughest roles in the world. And often be ''replaced'' or ''forgotten'' when the children grow up. A friend once said something like...mother is the past , wife is the future. ha ha... check the divorce rate and say that again.

Read an article about mother's day without mom.... well, I felt sorry for those people. There is something I like about the western culture, they hug thier parents, they say ''I love you'' .... Chinese don't normally do it.

Anyway... I hope all the mothers will have a fantastic day. I know most of them don't really need a cake or card, all they need to know is that thier children are safe and sound.

吃蛇---Makan Ular/ Eat Snake??

Woke up at 4am last night. Got some red rash on my arm, not sure if it is insect bites or food allergy (a term they use very often in western country), in Asia, we just eat everyhting...... yes i guess people eat most of the animal with back born facing the sky. And lots of people like to ''EAT SNAKE''.

So I lie on my bed at 4am and decide that I will ''EAT SNAKE"" today or 吃蛇. That means, I called the office at 9am, and tell them I am not feeling well, and won't be in today (it is my first sicky in 2008...so not that bad, and I do have valid reason...)

吃(eat) 蛇(snake): Not sure if people use the term in KL, but it is widely used in Singapore and Johor. I tried to search on internet to find out the ''origin'' of the term, but no luck. But that is what we use to decribe someone who fake sick, or not doing work during working hour.

Went to the clinic around the corner. As I am not registered with them, they won't let me see the doctor. I need to complete a form, go back this afternoon with my urine sample to do a health check, then they can schedule an appointment for me. what a system. I prefer the Malaysia/Singapore style, just pay and see the doctors or use your company panel doctors.

So I have collected some unrine sample (I did make an effort to drink lots of water so it looked ok)....

Ok, will continue enjoy my Eating Snake day....

BIG APPLE---Are you still tasty?

Finally, I am going back, its like going home... New York City, the place I once called home.

Fell in love with NYC when I first visited in Aug 1997 (did a road trip with Tom, his ex, and Ku Ren). I love that place so much that I woke up at 8am in the morning, and spend 10 hours or so walking in Manhattan and got back to Ku Ren's place at about 9pm or so...Ku Ren's Mom was so amased that I spent so much time walking in the city every day.

After that trip, I told myself that I want to live there for a while, and I did that for 2 yrs after graduation.

I always wanted to go back, and to see if I will still like it. After travelling extensively for the last few year, I have come to realise that our feeling or perception changes every time when you visit the same place.... even with Malaysia.

''Thanks'' to the US Embassy in London... I can go there again this Friday (if the immigration officer allows me to go in).

NYC, I am coming... please do not dissapoint me. If you do, I guess I will try to find an excuse to love you again.... When you are in love with someone or something, you tend to find excuse to embrace it. However, I am not sure if I still Love you (as much as I did 7 yrs ago). Because I do fell in Love with some other cities over the last few years, you are not the only one anymore.... but hey, try your best ok.

bye bye ---my friend

one of my best friends in UK is leaving tomorrow.....

we had a nice italian dinner (served by italian waiters)and it was in a small villages in UK...

i try not to think too much about it... as i should be used to this after all these years....

take care my friend. come back and visit us when u feel like.

Friends come and go... but the true frineds will stick together regardless of the distance.

you know what, this morning, i got an e-mail from one of my friends in NYC, who haven't wrote to me for about 2 yrs..... so happy to get in touch again. he is a funny Janpanese guy.. (see, if we make an effort, friends will stick with you..)

Lucky him...

I happened to see this pic on the internet, what a lovely pic. Lucky little Maddox, guess he is the most famouse Cambodian on the planet Earth now.

Well done, Maddox, and he is really stylish huh. It does make me feel like adopting one ha...

London Marathon day.. and no, I am not running

Its London Marathon Day (13 April). Watching it on TV, a colleague of mine is running for charity, he did the New York, Singapore, and now London Marathon, he is 50yo (shame on me that I can't even run 1 km..)

Weather is quite bad, and it is going to rain, so I didn't go into town to support him. It is amazing how they can run that long....i guess they do get a great satisfaction when they cross the finishing line and know that they have raised some money for the charity. Well Done Jeff...

Olympic---what's the fuss about??

All the news is about Olympic torch.... they can't see it in S.F... tom, can you see it???

Please forgive my ignorance...what is all those fuss about?? human right?? oh... those things never bother me, too out of reach. I will save the energy and concerntrate on my life and continue giving love to people around me.

I am not Jesus, not Dalai Lama.... people (or protesters) out there, good luck with your protest and hope you are having fun.... well, at least u r on TV n you have catch the attention of the world (so they can leave Britney Spear alone).

some people....

some people just irritate you... and you won't be bother to be nice to them. when u see them, u want to slap thier face....

they normally not very attractive and think they are... n they normally.

i happened to have a conflict with two of them today. Not happy with them, and really piss off.... but i shouldn't let them ruin my weekend. ok girls, hope you will be slapped by someone on the street soon... (and it won't be me)

Day light saving----29th MArch

Saturday....raining cats and dogs.

Just finished the Puilly-Fusse with some nice chicked from Waitrose. Can;t complain much... and have managed to get more money from my company. Another trip then, i guess...

nothing much on the TV, will just finish the cheese cake with another glass of wine then go to sleep..

I will lose 1 hour tonight because of the day light saving shit... we will have to move forward one hour at 2am tonight.... sigh!!

still not sure

still not sure how this 'Blog' thing works.... guess it is just like writing diary???

Another busy day at work. It was not that bad, cos tomorrow is pay day, and my company has agreed to contribute at least GBP 950 towards my Visa application, hope more will come.

Joined the French girls out for an after work drink, it is funny to see them talk in French, and all i understand is Oui Oui Oui... amazing French.

The TV is all about the visit of the French President in UK....and all eyes are on his new wife (who the newspaper published her naked pictures taken ages ago). She was a model, and so is quite pretty. Who says money can't buy happiness???

Leona Lewis---I knew it

I knew she is great, I knew she will be famouse, and I did send an sms to vote for her at the X-Factor final 2 yrs ago??

http://www.findinternettv.com/Video,item,3959831491.aspx
