after 8 months i've finally had it! i have officially resigned from Shah's Village Hotel! my last working day was 4th April! weeeeeee

it has been great working with them wonderful people! mainly kak sida, mina, asma, sahiful, sham, chef navan, jeff, man & chef mus. plus some of the people from the front office and also sales dept.

not forgetting to mention Mr. Raj from india, who always comes with his wife & mother,

Sunny & Lynn from australia, sorry about that night we had to take 239.

Mr Gunther from germany, your insights about beer was enlightening!

Mr James of scotland, i'll keep on being philosophycal.

Ilyas, i'll see you in london next!

Mr Mateauch KYC, sorry if i got your name wrong, i'll learn a little Polish next.

Ms Susan. www.amazingwomenrock.com

Mr Steve & Bill, i'll be back for your beer!

and last but not least, Dr. Rev. Baker. thanks for being there to listen and for those evening beers, i have learned so many things. thankyou for being my friend. i'll have a drink with you soon!

and here are a little something... (all pictures unsorted and not according to date)

now, the funny thing about this is, right after i snapped the picture, a beautiful lady walked in from behind.... and the lady is related to my big boss!

the one looking at the cam on the right is kak salbiah, from the housekeeping dept.

oh right, it was actually a meeting for the Indigenous people of the asian region, Indigenous mainly means, the Orang Asli.

they were selling tons of stuff.

i actually bought a nose flute that's called pensol. yeah you have to blow it through your nose.

yep, all are hand made & earnings are returned 100% to the makers of the item

rings

the lady in the bandanna who was over seeing the store say that she operates around klang valley.

i originally intended the Indigenous Peoples' to be a post by themselves, they were here for a meeting function that lasted around 3 days. about how to stop the illegal loggers and live in harmony with the forest. for more info you'd have to google.

my last night

final punch out

the guard, and some F&B staff

right after that i rushed to a little private gathering.

chef navan. the one who taught me many things, and one of the few people that i'll actually miss not seeing every day.
some day i'll write your biography & memoir!

for sam........ whose name i still can't guess

tears dont fall, they fly

when the literal meaning of my words are misinterpreted,
and in turn makes a person i deem as a friend comes
to stab me in the face.

not a feeling i particularly like.

and because of that i was sad for 3 whole days!
(yeah i know, it's a surprise even to me... is it because i'm still human?)

all thanks to booze & hueihuei that i'm up & about again, since i'll be leaving the bloody company in less than a week anyway.

my last working day will be 4th of april, ask me out~!

++++

am thinking of organizing a camp for close friends to the mountains of Cameron Highlands sometime in April, currently looking for interested applicants. 3 days 2 nights...if we don't get lost that is. *evil grin*

we'll be camping for real in the woods, sleeping under the stars & finding our own drinking water..... romantic! ui?

!~!~!~!

hoho... this really did come as a surprise, a little sad & jealous at the same time...

since it's just starting out, i am sworn to secrecy to keep this under wraps for now.

but it's thanks to her that i started this blog.

heheheh.... enjoy your first 'fish'

now try figuring what i just said, the answer lurks somewhere in my blog, the posts in the past...

so a recap

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 06:03:57 GMT

yeah yeah i know i haven't update my blog in a month or so, it's been a maelstorm of events. let me simplify :

19/02/2009
Final decision to go back to college, i'll be joining the may intake of Inti Subang, marketing degree... should take me about 4 years.

regarding the papers i have for diploma... i'll admit currently i have no idea how to link them, only in my diploma year did i find out that it's more or less meaningless to have those papers, and while working at shah's did i realise that i prefer to be out & about seeing people rather than staying in the kitchen..

but it will not be wasted, i just don't know how to use them yet.

20/02/2009
Tragedy struck, my favorite uncle, on his way down from genting and after paying the toll, got involved in an accident... it was 8:00am when it happened.

notice the metal pipe? as of now i still have no idea wtf is it, but it's the thing that took away my uncle's whole right leg. yep, it's amputated. the whole right leg. condolences to him & his family... considering that he's the breadwinner of the family. 3 sons & 1 daughter, self employed contractor (golf event advertisements), and his eldest son is 18... or was it 19.. this year.

bloody freak accidents.

because of that accident, i had no way to tell my relatives & so and so about my decision to go back to get that bloody degree... even i din't know what to feel then. my uncle & his family were the ones i stayed with when i was studying in ampang 2 years back, they treated me as their own, which really warmed the heart...

and finally... the thing that's worth mentioning since the tragedy

12/03/2009

TICO SERVICES (SA0116841-T)

that's my company, or business name, registered on a whim on 12/03/09. frankly the whole thing still surprises me. with RM70 and a little over 3 hours, i have my own company. (name valid for 1 year)

It was decided that i'd make a company to bill my current employer, they were being a real pain the ass of me claiming money to fix their pc, so it kinda pissed me off to a point where i actually considered this and even some colleages supported me.

and so... TiCO is born.

TiCO will be mainly doing servicing, hence the name. But we'll also be doing consultations, maintenance, repairs, software, hardware,... basically everything. heck, we'd even assemble a pc for you.

targeting small to medium corporations, and i don't mean just that, we do some private as well.

TiCO services can be contacted via my cell... since it's just a 1 man show for now, support me will ya?

AMD FTW!

my girlfriend's place

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 04:57:42 GMT

to give myself and the millions of guys out there who are single, and were alone on
valentines' day, and even worse, WORKING on that day... like me.

i've decided to take a more positive approach to my daily life. seeing that on Feb 14th i was alone, working, over-timed till 5am without a single person to call... (okay... maybe there are a few....)

replace "work" with "my girlfriend's place"
and "colleagues & guests" to "pretty people"

-------------

everyday i go to my girlfriend's place at 3, i will stay there to 11, but sometime there are demands. for example like last night, valentine's day. i was at my girlfriend's place till 5am (woohooo).

everyday i meet different pretty people at my girlfriend's place.
some are nice, most are bad, but usually we get along just fine.

it's just so tiring being at my girlfriend's place almost everyday.
the pretty people there just make me do things.

89 rooms at my girlfriend's place, i have so many place to hide & *do* things!
usually i take a little rest when I'm tired or stressed out ya know, running away from all them pretty people for awhile...

every afternoon i drive to my girlfriend's place. on route i see 3 shops that always makes me drool (literally). Harley, Naza Bikes & Ducati on the side of federal highway.

sometimes I'm asked to go to my girlfriend's place early because of the pretty people wanting to see me. For example when their computer breaks down it's always me.

Hell yeah man! i go to my girlfriend's place 6 days a week! 8 hours a day! and i only get 1 day off! sweet~~

TOK TOKKIEEEEEEEEEEEEE

*slurp*

60 x 1400cc bikes, 2 vans, 2 lorries, 2 MPV.

note: i heard from a reliable source... that the traffic police force changes their bikes every 3 years, this year they'll be upgrading from the honda cbx 750 to these monsters. and they will be lelong-ing the thing at around 10k+, anyone got any... connections? i'm seriously interested.

----------------------------

me & my 5 other cousins when to er.... a club or disco, Dolce in JB.

ducky accepting ang pow from the pretty girl, with han seung looking on, and i'm sorry i'm not sure who the other face is.

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:25:07 GMT

jumble of thoughts since 1st Dec 08

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 12:20:37 GMT

starting from the go-kart about 2 weeks ago, i have this ominous feeling that something is out of place. not very but just slightly & bothering me. after a few more days a good friend tells me because of his constant smoking & drinking since the age of 15, he's been diagnosed with a cyst in his brain. a cyst is quite different from a tumor, as it's more like a liquid filled sac instead of a solid matter that's like cancer tumors. after that it was christmas eve & christmas, which i spent more or less alone, surrounded by friends but still feeling lonely & cold inside. contemplating what has happened, seeing all those around me, this yearning for companionship is a real pain in the ass. when i ask a question of you, i expected an answer, YOUR answer. do not tell me to go ask from another for a more accurate term & description, what i want is not the correct answer, but YOUR answer in your words. many do not understand that and that really gets on my nerves. family going to shanghai for 8 days, i'll be alone at home starting from the night of 27th till 4th of January. everything's so cooped up in my mind, i stated blunty to another person i do not intend on staying employed with this current company for more than 1 year, he tells me to stay a little longer. after all he tells me about his life & condition, he actually makes pretty good sense. this time again, for a very long time, someone has once again made me doubt myself, my decisions, my thinking, my actions, my words. as of now i feel hard to do anything else. except make that sangria, but i have no brandy at home, so it will have to be put on wait. everyday i wake up, go to work, i reach home at around 11:30pm. it never changes, has not been for 4 months now. it has become as such, i expect nothing more of myself, but just doing it day in & day out, just biding my time. should i be like this? an endless loop of plains & grasses, it's peacefully serene... i do not dislike it, but i do not want it to stay as such for so. so far about 3 have come and gone, i did nothing and so earned the title of "kuku-ciao-less" from that good friend with a cyst in his head. it's quite a vexing phenomena, but till i get a (stranger) girl's number & calls her infront of him, he will not stop calling me that. so far i've met some wonderful people, discovered a new and interesting language that will not take long to learn, but ages to master the pronounciation. Finnish of Finland. i still need to somehow make this jumble of words longer, but i am already out of thoughts. will be sending my mother & sister to the airport in another hour or so. currently staring at the 2 blank monitors nearby, just assembled a 667mhz p3 machine with 128mb of ram and has antiX on it. usable so far but still unable to configure it to connect to my home network for filesharing. so many things i want to do, technically i have time for them all but i lack the motivation to do it. unless there is a strong reason for me to do so, i will not do anything that won't gain me anything. i dislike meaningless efforts or actions. but however subtle effects an action will bring, i still do it if i like it. i'll just have to find something else to convince myself otherwise.
