- 'Post Office Theme' -

Some of my Instagram photos. All these snapshots were taken at Taoyuan International Airport Departure Hall. It was one of the waiting room that was designed into 'post office' with a historical timeline and 'antique' post office stuff.

Authentic??

It had been extremely long I did not touch my blog. I was kinda fed up with it because I have found other better entertainment such as Instagram. At least I don’t have to come up with ideas on what to blog and checking my poor grammar. *shrug*

Anyway, there’s a dissatisfaction feeling inside me that I have to let it out somewhere. So shamefully, yes, I was going to blog it here. I heard of something which I find it quite offensive and “insulting” my hard work. My mum blurted it out to me incidentally, which I understand that she was keeping it from me with a good intention. It was not a big deal, really. Okay, here’s what I heard. Some relatives were questioning on my graduation photo. Their question was did I really graduated? Was my certificate authentic? See, no big deal right? I truly understand on their query to my certificate. Is not because I was not qualified. By looking at my graduation photo framed beautifully on the wall, I would question as well. Because I was holding a “fake” certificate that was made up of A4 size paper. There was an explanation to it. I took the studio graduation photo a few days earlier than my actual graduation day. So it explained. I haven’t obtained my real certificate roll. Why I took the photo so early? Because I have to go back hometown after my graduation day so it left me no time to go and take those studio photos. Okay, I was so anxious and content till I couldn’t wait on the day itself. It was my first time, what. I didn’t know there was a certificate roll until I got it on graduation then I realized something missing in my photos. Too late, right. I was a poor student so I couldn’t manage to pay another amount to shoot another roll of graduation photos.

Sigh. I felt insulted with their question because first, it clearly showed that they were looking down at me (I am okay with it or should I say I have gotten used to it) and secondly, did they understand what hardships and setbacks I had went through during pursuing my degree? It was like a hell to me. I was in a depression state. How many times I had thought of giving up? I admitted that I was not a born-smart person. But I had tried and study so hard for it. The lecturers were so damn arrogant and looking down on people like me. Heaps of assignments, projects, presentations and exams. A nightmare to me! I was having insomnia during those days. So how can they judge me like that? Even till today, they still were judging me that I was only doing an “admin” work in an office. “A very simple and easy job”. wtf.

I am doing an admin/secretarial work but it was not an easy job. Oh my, do I have to explain in details on what I did? Even if I told, you people wouldn’t understand what is my job scope as well. In a simpler way, I was handling all the documents related to listing since our company is a public listed and my work is 'private and confidential' because it was related to the whole group of companies. Something like I know when to get the bonus and how much is the bonus given beforehand. Issue like acquisition of a company, shares or bla bla bla. I was serving those Directors, arrange for the board meeting, annual general meeting and whatsoever they need. It was a stress and pressure work too. Sometimes I just fed up with people judging me without better understanding including my relatives and friends. I didn’t have that fate to live luxuriously and everything goes smoothly with golden spoon on my mouth. I didn’t have a good brain. I didn’t graduate with a first class honour or excellence grade. But I really, really, really worked so hard for them. At least, God hears my prayer and did let me graduate with Second class honour, get me a good job with a not-so-bad salary. I was able to live well, eat well and dress well although is not lavish. I live humbly, talk humbly and smile humbly and that doesn’t mean that you people can judge me like that. Wtf.

Conclusion is my graduation certificate is authentic!!!! Don’t force me to frame my ‘certificate’ on the wall for you people to see! I didn’t have that much money to buy the ‘certificate’. I proudly obtained it with my hard works and ‘smartness’. Damn~

Colorful Macaroon!

Yeah! Yeah! It's Macaroon~

So happy to see the macaroon. Because of its colorfulness. Finally I can lay my mouth on it after looking at its photos on the net and heard about it for months. I have been so curious on how it taste like actually despite of its beautiful colors.

RM2.50 per pcs bought from Hilton Hotel, Kuching. Oh my god, it's too sweet! I am a 'sweet' eater also can't stand its sweetness. So can you imagine how sweet it is?! Hmmm I really didn't find any special about it. It doesn't taste yummy too~

I have abandoned my blog for months because I am lazy and sick. No idea what had gotten into me causing me tiredness and my face is covered with 'acnes' and redness. My face looks tired and pale. I got a very deep dark circles and eyebags under my eyes. I didn't feel good and look good. I have try all the methods or prescription but to no avail. So I am giving up. On the other hand, I have lost weight as well. Not sure this is a good or bad sign. I can wear those pretty and S size clothes but my face really....fugly! Guess there is a gain and a loss~

This year gonna end soon. How time flies! My no.1 resolution this year is to shed some kilos. And I managed to achieve it in the last month of the year! So what is my new year resolution? No idea. I am so tired to use my brain to think. My energy is drained out. I am getting old. The work and life pressure and stress really making me feel so old. Life still goes on no matter how I complaint and hate it. This is life!

I should just go for a holiday, maybe.

Immortals

Immortals. Hmmmm. I am still thinking of what to write for my review on this movie. Something similar to 300, the movie. Crap! Of course it looks similar to 300 because same producers what~

The plot is about a mortal man, Theseus chosen by the Zeus to fight against the ruthless king, Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) who is on a rampage across Greece to obtain the bow that can unleash the Titans and destroy humanity. The story ends. So there are lots of macho men, nicely build and tone body (drooling~). What I liked most in the movie is their God, Zeus and its other Goddess like Athena, Poseidon, Heracles and etc. They looked so cool! Wait, guess there is a sequel for this movie too. The story will be talking about Acamas, son of Theseus and Oracle.

Well, as guessed, all the "sexy", flesh and bloody disgusting parts were censored in the cinema. So yeah, you don’t get the chance to see all that juicy parts but still there are blood, fighting and heads flying off scenes. For female viewers, we can still enjoy the man’s tone body in the movie and sorry for the male viewers as there are no pretty ladies in it except Freida Pinto. I personally think that she is not pretty. Hmmm.

So the movie is either too good or too bad. It just hang somewhere in the middle. It lacks of something which I can’t find out what is it or where is it. The first half session is kinda boring, I would say. Just watch it when you really can’t find any good or blockbuster movie on the list.

Additional note which is unrelated to Immortals. I saw the trailer of Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 1. OMG, it looks so good and interesting! I am anticipated for its screening.

Niece's Birthday Celebration Dinner

On the last Sunday, we were celebrating my niece, Eugenia’s 2 years old birthday and the full moon of my second niece, Baby Euthalia. Weird name, huh! Well, my brother and his wife like the name so much and I wonder why.

Again, my same old favourite phrase. Time flies. Eugenia has grown up so much. All of a sudden, I miss her baby look and the way she crawls or looking at me innocently with her big round eyes. Now she is getting very naughty and keeps running here and there. Seriously, I was attacked by her numerous times. I should claim the medical fees from my brother. Her daughter is way too naughty and tricky! But still looks adorable at times and she’s very clever. When she knows that we are angry with her, she will pretend to be an adorable girl and call us with her sweet and innocent tone. She never fails to get what she demands. Kids nowadays….~

My family and I do admit that we show less affection towards the second born. After all, Eugenia is the first born baby and grandchild in our family so it’s normal that we adore her more in the first place. Now I understand why they will say the characteristic/personality for the first born, second born or middle child and the youngest one are different. I was a second born too but because the first born is my brother so I believe my grandparents and parents love us both that time. One boy and one girl. Balance gender in the family. So did my two younger brothers. There is 4-5 years old age gap between me and them. They are lucky to have brother and sister to adore them as well!

Alright, back to the topic. We were having dinner at Kingwood Hotel, one of the reputable hotels in this small town. The dishes look yummy except that there are number of dishes I couldn’t consume due to my sickness. Some quick snapshot of the dishes (sorry for the poor quality) as they are too eager to eat and couldn’t wait for me to finish my photos snapping.

My Top 5 Most Visited Websites

The moment I step into the office at 8.oo a.m (okay, I am always 15 minutes late. I can’t help it. Guess it has become a bad habit of mine! Luckily there’s no punctuality card in my office), the first thing I do is to open some web browsers while I go make my morning tea or honey drink.

Come on, admit it. I do it, you do it. Everyone is doing it. We all feel sluggish in the early morning and when sit in front of the office desk. We need to surf around to jumpstart the mind again. My top 5 websites that are most visited during work hours are…..drum rolllllll…..ta dah~

Hotmail

I need to check mail everyday, whether there is a mail or not.

Blogger Page

A daily routine to check out the blog updates and read all the blogs that have bookmark in my favourites folder.

The Star

This is a necessarily and a must read to know what is going on around me and the world out there especially the celebrity news.

Online store/Blogshop
Ermm. This may sound unnecessarily but I need an update whether there are new clothes or new style coming in today and everyday. It gradually becomes a daily routine to check out these things and then I will waste my $$$ on it. Get cheated...willingly! =.=

Facebook

I believe everyone will be checking out their FB. It also becomes a daily routine to log in my FB and play my Sim Social. Tsk Tsk Tsk. (Shake head)

Is a multi-tasking job. I will surf around while working. It seriously did not affect my work productivity and efficiency. Again, I insisted that it does not divert my attention from work and I have my own time arrangement and see, I am an organize person so I am clear on what I am doing. In fact, I find it quite enjoyable to work like this. At least, it does not bore me to keep on concentrate on my work, typing, and writing report. So I really can’t stand to have a server down or no internet connection during working hours. It will drive me nuts and reduce my work productivity. No mood to work. No kidding!

Sssshhhhh. Shouldn’t let my boss read this or else I …………. can pack my things and go home!

Pet Peeves

Do you have any pet peeves? This is my first time came across the words (Excuse my poor english~). My definition of pet peeve is something or someone annoyed you to the max, disgusted you or until you puke blood (fake action). Okay, getting serious. According to the online dictionary, pet peeve is defined as a major or principal annoyance or complaint. It’s similar to my definition also what~

The followings are the list of my pet peeves which really get on my nerve (Warning: It’s a long list!):

· Someone standing over my shoulder reading the computer screen. If that person is a friend or someone close to me, I am still alright with it. But the boss from my previous employment is standing right over my shoulder looking at the paper work on my desk or computer screen and he is so close to me till I can feel/smell his breath on top of my head. Now that really makes me feel uncomfortable. In another serious word, that’s called sexual harassment.

· Ah Beng and Ah Lian. I am not trying to pin point that people shall dress up like a fashionista but at least in an appropriate way and looks pleasant or comfortable to the eyes. I really dislike guys who are dragging their foot jeans on the floor and girls who try to dress up like an adult while they are still bubbly young teens or imitating the Japanese street fashion which goes wrong. The way they talk and their attitudes also annoyed me. They like to talk loudly, laugh loudly, act childishly, boasting and adding foul words in their every lines regardless of the time, place and situation. Do I sound bias? Hopefully not.

· People who sit next to me on public transportation even when there are other seats available. I just don’t understand why there are so many seats available but you still want to sit next to me and our shoulders keep kissing. If you are a girl, I can still bear with it. But if you are a guy (not a handsome hunk or my friend) and with a body odour, then very sorry. Can you please move over?

· Guys never flush the toilet after use and leave the toilet seat up. Come on! I bet all the female out there agree with me on this. If possible, I try to avoid going to public toilet. It’s so damn smelly and dirty.

· Jerks who take up 2 parking spaces. Hello! Be more considerate lar. Unless your car is super super big size and it needs 2 parking spaces then I won’t comment any on it. If there are many empty parking spaces, then alright, I also won’t complain.

· Women who wear a thick make up. That’s look horrible with an extremely thick, white powder on the face, red lips, dark shadow eyes and a long, thick fake eyelashes batting there. Unless you dress up for some Halloween party or you are a geisha. A light and simple make up will look nice and pretty already.

· People with body odour or putting on a strong smelly perfume. It’s air pollution.

· People who invite me to somewhere then cancel at the last minute. This really annoyed me unless you have a very good reason to cancel the appointment. I am a busy man as well and besides, you are wasting my time. Because of that appointment, I am blocking the time slot just to meet you but you are cancelling it at the last minute without any good reason.

· Do you understand what I am saying? Oh my goodness. I am going to tell you my experience with a cab driver when I was in Taiwan. This uncle, okay, he is friendly, BUT he tormented me persistently with his ‘Do you understand what I am saying?’ on the whole way to Jiufen (if not wrong, it's around 20-30 minutes drive). I didn’t know how many times he repeated the words and my head really felt dizzy for hearing his talk. I just want to shout at his face saying that 'YES, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!!' He’s actually trying to persuade us to take up his ‘cab travel package’ which brings us to the place of attractions along the way for some photos snapping. We had politely declined the offer and just told him to drive us to Jiufen instead. But he won’t give up and kept on explaining with every sentences ended with ‘Do you understand what I am saying?’. He charged us so expensive for the cab ride. Even we had to pay NT900 for the cab ride from Yehliu to Jiufen. We felt cheated. It’s so damn EXPENSIVE for a short distance ride!

· People with bad table manners. I am not talking about those traditional Kopitiam. More likely indicating those decent restaurants with an expensive menu.

· Drivers who drive slowly on the fast lane, and move slowly at the green lights and the motorbikes ride in the middle of the road. For your own and other people's safety, please lar, try to follow what you read or learn during your law/driving test. If intend to drive slowly, then move to the left and motorbikes also don’t ride in the middle of the road or on the fast lane. People who drive fast or didn’t see you might knock you down and then whose fault is it. The traffic is quite jammed with cars in a long queue but those drivers still move slowly at the green light like no other people business. #%$*@#$!% (*puke blood*)

· People belch without covering their mouth. That’s very impolite to belch without covering the mouth or excusing themselves. The sound of belching and especially long burp quite annoyed me. My dear always burp in front of me and is a long burp which really annoyed me to the max. I have told him numerous times to stop doing that but he thinks that it is fun. This totally deducted mark on my impression on him. He seems not understand this whole impression mark thing because he thought that we are together for so long already and that’s not a big deal anymore. Sigh. *Guys only leave a good impression on girls during the wooing period, once you are belong to him, he’ll shows you all his fugly habit and dirty lifestyle*

· Typical Malaysian’s habit to cut other people’s queue and continue pretend like nothing’s wrong. Don’t you hate this especially when it is a long queue? They are not even asking your permission to cut your queue. If you are a senior citizen, I mean real old, I understand and forgive you. We are all a busy man and rushing with time as well so not only you frustrate with the long queue. One thing I like about Taiwanese is they really queue up whether they are paying at the counter, waiting for the MRT, getting in the bus and etc.

Alright, you must be bored reading my list of pet peeves. Wait, it's not end yet. I'm still have a long list on hand but in order not to make my list of pet peeves become your pet peeve, I shall stop here. LOLZ. Anyway, what’s yours?
