Throttle to the stop

I have been running around quite a lot for the past week. These last two days I have been asleep for a long long time. Tired..dead tired.

Officially I'm on leave for the whole of next week. However, work beckons and I have to run around (again) tomorrow. I'm also on call 24 hours as work at site continues despite the public holidays. I have a target to dredge 360K cubic metres of sand by 31st Dec. However, with the monsoon season started, work has slowed down and we are 27% behind schedule.

Joint pre-survey between us (the contractor and the Government) has to be conducted tomorrow for the finished works. However, the officials have all gone on leave. How am I going to make my claim for the works done if they are not there?

Due to the anxiety I'm facing, my sleeping pattern has been very disjointed. Instead of having a nice restful sleep, I'm getting more tired. I even dream of work while sleeping. Hopefully I can clear things up by tomorrow.

To those I've ignored for the past week..it ain't you, it's me.

Sorry.

I see many vain people.....

I see vain pots everywhere.....

Excuse me while I go puke.

The pix below has been used several times by the press. It was one of the pics used by RTM for the old skool 100 years documentary. NST too has used this pic for paper edition of the celebration and most recently for NST's 100+ years anniversary. I took this pic off NST's archives.



To you guys, it's just a pix. To us (those in the pix) ...it means a lot.

That people, is the Class of 86. Yes, I'm in it. Try to find me. The diskang years.

20 years on, we sure have changed a lot. Physically yes...we all have stomachs (heh), grey hair or some other defects. Most of have been married once or twice, divorced etc. Most of us have been successful in life. We have several lawyers, bankers, a supposedly terrorist (ada ke mat salleh kata dodol tu C4 explosive), a drug dealer (yes he is), wannabe politicians, several Datuks-in the-making and an environmentalist (me me). So funny, those who became teachers, well, English teachers, came from Set C and not from the higher sets (sungguh menghairankan) . Guess Cikgu's enthusiasm must have rubbed it on them.

Anyway, the point is, Class of 86 is having our annual berbuka puasa this evening at the Old Skool Penthouse. The usual suspects will be there. Hey, I missed last year's so I'm not gonna miss this year punya.

Selamat Berbuka Puasa all!!

I freak out easily nowadays.


I'm not ready for anything, yet.

I was meme'd or tagged by Lil Ms D.

Here's what the game is like...

The Rules:
1. Go into your archive.
2. Find your 23rd post.
3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag five other people to do the same.

Okay, after some good digging in the archive, the sentence that we are looking for is:

It was a frosty December, it wasn't the season for fruits;

Of course la..where got fruits during winter..duh!

So, hereby I am tagging the following people to carry the torch:


Ace, Frank, or anyone who wants to do it!

I am not a disorganised person. Really.

I know I have shitloads heaps of paper strewn all over my desk. Despite them lying around, I know what to find, where and when to find, if I ever do need to find one.

My secretary however thinks differently. After many attempts of clearing/organising my desk, she finally blew her top.

"I nak you kemas you punya meja hari ni jugak. Kalau you tak nak, apa-apa surat ke you datang tempat I dan ambil sendiri. I tak nak masuk bilik you selagi tak dikemaskan"

Aiyaa..macam ini punya orang pun ada ke?

Two hours of cleaning, my desk is now tidy and clear of unnecessary papers. Penat oii berkemas.

Damn...6+ more hours to go.

I like Kim Possible. I never missed watching her on Disney Channel. I even have (ok, my nieces) her movie DVD -So the Drama. She's popular. But now....gasp.....Disney is axing her show!!!! Tiiiiddddaaaakkkkk!!!!!!!

So people....help us (me and the rest of the world) to save her!!!!

Below is an excerpt taken from Save Kim Possible site

Welcome to Save Kim Possible! This site is dedicated to the elimination of Disney's 65 episode policy so that Kim Possible, one of the best animated shows on the Disney Channel, can continue to be produced and enjoyed by fans all over the world! It is our strong belief that having a policy of just 65 episodes stifles creativity thus preventing more shows of KP from being made. A show's fate should be determined by the fans, not a TV company. As long as Kim is popular it should continue to be made. We invite everyone who enjoys Kim Possible to join our cause. http://savekp.com

8 more hours to go.....

On the way to work today heard the song "You're my everything" (Santa Esmeralda? Correct me if I'm wrong) on radio.

I like the part "When I kiss your your lips, I feel the rolling thunder on my fingertips".

Thinking the about rolling thunder reminded me of a girl whom I used to know. She had the biggest breasts, jugs boobs that when its moves, it like...you guess it...watching a rolling thunder!. Hahaha.

Damn! What am I thinking? Puasalah!!!!!

Yesterday, on the way to Sungai Buloh, Mak made a statement that made me go Huh?

"Your W202 is so underpowered. Why did you have to sell off the Integra? In the first place, why did you sell the Ducati too?"

"Mak, the Duke (and Wira) was sold to finance the fittings for the condo. Anyway I don't need two cars (and a bike) since I was staying (mostly) alone then remember. "

Ex was working overseas.

"Ya, but the W202 is just not you. You always have the need of speed, just like your brother. You think I don't know what you do on weekends that you don't come home? You think I don't know how much it cost you to modify the car?"

I was a track day freak at Sepang.

"Mak, you used to complain the Integra was low, hard and susah nak masuk."

The Integra was a GSR model (one model lower than Type R). The car has been lowered, had Eibach adjustable suspension riding on 17 inch rims. Seats were Recaro. Engine management was run without a rev/cut-off limiter. Engine was a two stage VTEC. Intake manifold was a Tanabe 4-1 with Mugen pipes. Clutch were heavy duty Exedy and brakes modified for AP Lockheed pads. Air intake used K&N air filter separated from the hot engine by a compartment made by me.

"Komplen tu komplen, but I like the car..it's fast and stable. This W202, hah, naik bukit pun tak larat."

"Mak, this car is has the best safety factor. Ok, it is a bit slow at start, but once it reaches its peak this car can speed."

"I still don't quite like it. It makes you old."

"I'm 36!"

"Look, I want you to enjoy what you enjoyed most. I know you still enjoy riding/driving fast. Don't let the divorce change you."

"Eh Mak, the divorce has nothing to do with this ok. I've decided that I don't want to waste my time and money anymore on unmeaningful things. What I want now is to lead a sensible life. What I do know now is that this is no longer what I want."

"Ok, but no regrets later when you're old at my age yes?"

"Yes mam!"

We stopped talking since we have already reached the nurseries. To satisfy her I paid for all her purchases.

Selamat berpuasa to all my Muslim friends. To those who have invited me to a last call breakfast (yes you En. Rostam and Ace), I'm sorry that I couldn't fulfill your wishes. Next time ok.
