What happens when you buy a toaster and when you attempt to toast your first bread, it does not work. When asked why, you are told by the retailer that you will need to upgrade your thermostat. Its free, so okay, you let them do it. Then they show you that you can toast again. Thats good. So one day, there you are sitting and toasting your white bread. Another day, you feel adventurous decided to toast wheat bread instead. Then you realised that your toaster could not toast. You asked why and you are told that the toast can only toast white bread and not wheat bread....


Why the rubbish on top?
Frustration, thats why. In short, work is a little getting to me these days. Sigh...
Company bought a product, we have no say in it, mind you. I need to implement the product. There are projects hinging on the successful implementation of this product so I have to get it up. At least, thats the impression i get from my bosses. Next thing I know, the product needs a frimware upgrade before anything that can be done. Fine, do it, since its free. Then I realised that it was not able to perform certain function in even though it was built to do just that. i wrote an email highlighting the urgency of getting the product up to the vendors and stating that it was rather difficult to swallow since it was a like a toaster which could only toast white bread and not wheat bread, know what I mean?
Then my boss came and told me that it was something 'she would not write'. And she also said that if the product could not work, then maybe we need not implement it afterall. Sigh...
Shack... shack... shack...
Sometimes, it can be so difficult when you are at the bottom of the food chain.

Jeff: I ain't seen you for quite a bit.

Jim: I've been rather busy this times, both at work and at outside of it.

Jeff: Teh C for me, teh o kosong for him.....

Kopi Kia: Teh C! Teh O kosong!

Jeff: I know how it is for you. No problem.

Jeff: Anyway, its not the meeting up with friends because good friends need not meet up that often. Just hope that everything is ok with ya.

Jim: And why would things not be ok?

Jeff: Neah. No why. Just hope that things are fine, thats all.

Jim: Ain't you going to ask me what am I up to?

Jeff: Nope. I know you. If you want to tell me, you will, without me having to ask. If you have no intentions of saying, then iy would be no use for me to ask.

Jeff: Is that a fact? (laughs)

Jim: Thats a fact. (laughs)

Jeff: I look you up more often when the dust and dirt settles.

Jim: Yep, I know you will.

Kopi Kia: LAI! Teh C... Teh O kosong....


Have faith in yourself
For someday you will realise
How much that will count
A time will come when others
Question you and doubt you
Criticise and put you down
When things don't go
The way it should

Have faith in yourself
Because if others do not see
You, yourself should know
How good you are
For there is always lots of good
In everyone of us
We just got to find it...

Hello, would like want to buy a lionsuit? Its going for a good price. I don't think you can find it this cheap anywhere else... If you can find it cheaper, anywhere, I will sell it to you 2, at the same low price.


Like I said, once things are set in motion, its like a rock sent tumbling down from a really high hill. Once started, it ain't going to stop till it hits and then it slowly settles down.
I wonder if things will be the same once things settle down. I know for sure that I will never stop meeting up with my friends. Some I meet more often than others, but thats not to say that you have been forgotten. Sometimes, we would be able to see best only after the dust has settle. Just like a meteor hitting the ground. All around, everything is in upheaveal for quite a while. But the business of rebuilding only comes after the dust has died down. We just get used to having the dust around. It could be rather irritating and frustrating, especially when your road ahead cannot not be seen. Just give it some time, and then things will become better.

I can't wait to start a new life. What about you?
Also, remember, the dust all around will settle down at different rate. Some places clear much faster while in other places, the dust lingers a little longer, depending on wind conditions and the weather. But eventually, it will all settle down, just like everyone of us.

Hello, is there anybody out there?

Have you ever encountered an instance when you just thought that something was right or maybe wrong. And you are so dead sure about it. But after some time, you are proved to be wrong?
Don't get me wrong. Everything is fine and dandy in my life. Just that I heard about a relative of mine. Seems like things ain't going too well for his marriage. The thing was his wedding was greeted with much joy and happiness some 3 years ago. He was a nice person and all of us thought that the wife was just as good. "A couple to last the times", thats what we thought. Or at least, it was the supposed 'default', I guess.

3 years later, and now faced with a divorce, its heartbreaking. And the irony? He said that he had been putting up with his wife for 3 years. NOW that is a huge surprise. Sigh...

So what are we sure about nowadays? Economy is crazy, one day up two days down. Family? Now thats a constant, well at least till they pass on. Jobs ain't no certainty, and the weather for one ain't no guarantee. Friends? Now thats one sure thing... well, same applies to them as to family now, ain't it?

But at the end of it all, we are still looking at a long road ahead with no one knowing what to expect. Instead of moving on with a whole lot of trepidation of what might happened and what would go wrong, I suggest we just live life to the fullest. What the hell, have a go at life itself and just have fun. Stay healthy, so that you might live longer and have more fun!
Why not?

Many things happen in our lives. Many times, those things are beyond us. We can only try our best in all that we do.


How was the weekend?
Well, it had been a really long and tiring week for me. Been busting my butt at work because I need to rush out some implementations but the darn things ain't working. Back to the drawing board I guess. But at least my 12 hour work days had not been in vain. Hopefully things will look up this week.
Also, I had to see another loved one hospitalised. Fortunately, it was just for a case of appendicitis. But still it hurt her bad, especially after the operation, and it hurt me even more, to see her in such discomfort. At least she is out of the hospital. Well, she can't move around too much and she is still feeling some pain, but at least she will be fine. I'm sure she will be glad with the 10 days of MC. heh heh heh...


If you had known him for as long as I had known him, then you would understand him. In a way, sometimes, we all get a little agitated for the non phone calls, or the change, but like I said, you need to understand each other. Once that understanding has been established, then hey! ... no biggie...


Lets just see how this week goes. Once things are set in motion, it just gathers up speed.

Hey, no worries ok? We all go through patches in life. Friends can come in real handy sometimes but there are times when we just need to get out of those patches ourselves. After that, then we can celebrate with our friends!
