2006 oledi?
Yes, it is 2006 oledi.
Every fortune telling book tells me that person born on the year of Horse will have a good year this year, and I was born in the year of horse!
In January, when I was having supper in Mc Donald in SS2, my whole family was chased by a crazy guy with an iron rod. My wife with children went separate way so that the crazy guy look for me instead. What a strategy and it worked. We managed to reach home safely, with the crazy guy last seen behind my matrix waving the iron rod, with a much resemblence of someone waving a kris! (You know who)
One morning in February, I was having a discussion with my colleague and we could not find a solution to the problem. I stepped away from my desk, went out to ask my GM. 5 minutes later, there was a commotion when I stepped back to my office. I was stunned when I saw what happen to my desk. The whole housing of the fluorecent lamp landed right on the chair and desk where I was sitting just minutes ago.
Last weekend, I was at my in law house when my wife called me to pick her up from Subang Parade. It was 9:30 at night. I pickup my car key, stepped out of the house and walked about 20 m towards my car. I heard some noises coming from the nearby bushes. Before I make out what it was, some dark color animal dashed towards me from the left. I backup a few steps, lost balance and fell. I yelled at the, what? a big size rockweller dog! I stared at him while he had his second thought whether to attack me. Moments later, he decided I am not his cup of tea and walked away with disappointment. I walked away with a sprained ankle and bruised palm.
So, I guess the fortune tellers are damn right about person born in the year of horse. Of all 3 occasions, I thank god for letting me walk away without injury.

It has been a while since.....
I have not been writing for a while. Life has been so still, same goes to the construction industry. Projects have been scarce, still desparately looking for a change in momentum.
A friend of mine announced his wedding in December. It came as a major talk of the week among close friends. Life is That boring.
Now back to this good friend of mine. He is such a character that nobody believe he will get married so "fast". He is the type that is always available when you need help, I mean "always" in its true sense. He is always a phone call away almost 24 hours a day. I can say that because I once called him at 4:00 am and asked him to come over to my house in suspicious of a break in. He come over without question. I called police and nobody picked up the phone.
He is such a resourceful guy, you can call him and ask him for advice on anything under the sun. You can call him to ask for contractor to renovate your house, look for "reliable" car salesman, get a good deal in car accessories, buy nice durians, remove blue screen on MS wondows, how to connect WIFI Accesspoint to the network, fix your ceiling fan himself, give you a lift to airport, source for a cheap handphone, even to find out which spa has the most beautiful girls, and so on.
We have seen him go out with a few girls and none of them last long. He spends so much time helping all the friends and hardly any free time for his girl friends. If he can't find a wife, we are partly to be blamed. Finally he found one and decided to tie the knot. Now everyone in the group ask, "Why so fast? Pregnant ah?". One single friend of ours even complains that he won't be able to go Karaoke because his kaki is getting married. I shared many of their thought and feeling but little do we realise that we are a group of selfish friends.
He has been such a helpful friend for years and we are so used to it. His marriage comes as a surprise to many, not because of the short notice, but a sudden vacuum it creates. It spells a potential situation where he has to be committed to his family and does not have time for all the friends.
But I am taking this apportunity to congratulate him, because like everyone in life, we need to grow up and progress to the next stage of life. He found one whom he is willing to share the rest of his life with , and that is no easy achievement. He will always shine on us as he is our Moon!

他是一个部长!？
他是一个部长?!
身为一个教育部的最高决策人,不可以为全国学校做决定,要校长和家长们谈谈,自己决定. 最要命的是,他还威胁到,如果校长做了坏的决定,后果得自己负责.
真是一个没种无能的家伙. 校长即使做了再大的错误决定,至少他们敢. 好过你占着高职做个缩头乌龟,占着粪坑不拉屎. 几个礼拜前还舞着马来武士刀要为民族斗争，原来也只会如此。
如此的教育部长,我们孩子教育还有希望吗?

A final zoom over KLCC
This is just amazing. Google is actually providing such service free (at least for the time being). You can have a look over any part of the world with such clarity and detail. I was surprise to see they actually have high resolution over Malaysia. I also tried areas such as Kuching, KK they are all covered.
I am in this satellite image business but with this free images, whatelse can I sell?

我有些不明白
十多个A的优秀生,曾被教肓部长表扬.几个月后,却被告知,奖学金没有他们的份.这不是偏袒的问题,只是面试不好.可是许多不比他们出色许多的学生却轻易过关.
部长说我国经济基本因素健全,保持成长,通货膨胀保持低水平.可是公司依然萧条,一轮减薪还没适应,另一轮己在酝酿中.汽油涨了再涨,一碗面起5角,一趟巴士起20%,通货高达3.5%。 这要比定期存款利息还要高。
国大党总秘书被首相停职三个月.他是国大党的国会议员,因为向副卫生部长抗议政府撤销对乌克兰某大学医学学士学位的承认.他不是为500 名印度学生请命说话吗?首相不是要听真话吗?
这么多的工作都没做好,却在这个时候叫所有政府部们换成五天工作制,叫我们相信他们不会影响工作,因为他们每天多做一个小时的工作.
一时谣言满天飞,汽油再涨价. 首相说不要信谣言,如果有决定,政府会通知人民. 这是真的吗?上回涨价还历历在目,我还没被“通知”,油站已经排长龙. 原来那所谓的“通知”,就是旁晚四点宣布,大半人民还在工作,等到有机会接触新闻时,离开午夜涨价时限,己经时日无多. 如此的“通知”,目的也只有一个,就是希望多数人被"通而不知".
内阁到先在还没决定起油价。是不是谣也起了一些作用?人民这样的反应多少反映了他们对政府的信任程度,及对生活困惑的无奈. 一个谣言能让高官们反思,不也是一件好事?

Papa Biggg Noseeee
When I woke up this morninig, I saw my second son sleeping beside me. This two years old boy is such a character. He brings us joy when we least expect it. At 4:00 am this morning, he called out loud and wanted to drink milk. This is his norm. But the difference was that he had all his valuable belongings, pillows and bolsters, tightly hugged in his hands, and asked to be carried to my bed. After he finished his milk, he seemed like totally awake. He started chating with me in the language only closed ones understand. He touched my nose and said " Pa pa biggg noseee". Then he pointed at my wife and said " ma ma biggg noseee". The next moment, he started to repeat the experience he had at the aquarium three days ago about the fish he saw:"pa pa, phish ball ball" and shake his head at the same time. He was trying to tell me the fish looks like a ball and the way the fish swims is by shaking the head. Then he started to point to the ceiling and said:" zard, scared scared." Ok, that was the lizard he is afraid of. That chat lasted for quite a while until both of us fell asleep again.
Being a pa pa can be quite taxing too. On the same night, my elder son (8 years old), cried and complained about the pain on his tongue caused by ulcer. We tended to ignore his complaints as nothing much we can do to stop the pain except to apply some gel on the ulcer. He is normally a strong boy. He hardly shed a drop of tear when he went to the dentist to extract his teeth. But last night, he was in constant pain. Sensing that none of the medicine helped, and only one thing to try. I carried him upstairs to the room, changed him into pyjamas, and put him to bed. All these extra things that we normally do to the younger one, worked extremely well with him. He calmed down and tried to sleep. He even turned his buttock towards me,signalling me to pat him to sleep like I always do to the two-year-old. In no time, he fell asleep. This only reminds me that however fast your children grow up, there are always some moments thay want extra attention and love to help them go through tough times. That extra attention and love is much more effective in soothing sores and pains, both physical and mental ones.

懒洋洋的过一个下午
…忙是为了自己的理想
还是为了不让别人失望?.....
…生活是一种享受
不是一种忍受….
在今天这样的生活调调，常常只记得我得做这个那个的，做着做着，习以为常。有没有想过为自己做一件喜欢的小事？如读一本好书, 懒洋洋的过一个下午?

世界真是不同了
真的不是我敏感,世界真是不同了.这句话,我母亲从我会听话开始说到现在,少说也有几十年,可是我却是要踏入四十岁,才领略到,真是失败.
孩子被人打,应该教他们如何应付?他们打你左颊,你送上右颊吗?还是叫他们不要做英雄,如衰家犬般抱着头就跑?跑得快好世界. 朋友告诉我有一个地方最多英雄,那就是天堂.
晚饭后桌上留下一些剩菜和肉,你怎么办?是 三两口把它吃掉还是依医生所说宁愿倒掉也不要多吃?倒掉是浪费,老人家还说是折福.吃下是有害健康,百害无益.
孩子读书,应该鼓励他'万官皆下品,唯有读书高',还是告诉他穷爸爸富爸爸的残酷事实?我说不出口,因为我就是穷爸爸的典范,读了半辈子书,满脑子学问却还得因为老板减薪而调整家人的生活素质,可悲. 孩子睡前常喜欢听我说一些孩时趣事,渐渐的我也少说了.因为我太太一针见血的说:"又说你的威水史?看看你自己!"

Software Licensing
There is a funny phenomena about buying original software in Malaysia. All the AutoCAD in my company are bought original and through legitimate supplier. All of a sudden, I receive a fax asking us to fill in information of all our Autocad licenses so thet they can issue something call "License Verification Certificate" to us to show that ours are original.
Why do you have to "verify" if mine are original? Isn't the original CD good enough proof? On the other note, does it mean that if I do not have the so called "License Verification Certificate", then all our licenses are deemed "pirated"?
Compliance is one thing but making us waste all the productive time into searching for information is another. Don't the authorized dealers keep their databases of the original licenses? We have been requesting "authorization codes" from them whenever we install the software. They should have better knowledge than us.
This is a waste of time.

My Dear Matrix
I have finally got a chance to own a non-malaysian car. Well, technically, it isn't truely non-malaysian as it is made by INOKOM. It isn't a luxury car to brag about but the very fact that I am not driving a Proton give me the thrill. Enough is enough, Proton, I am dumping you.
After driving it for 3 weeks, all I can say is that the Korean car makers are serious bunch of people. I am no technical expert to comment on the technology but the quality of the dashboard, the many small compartments in the car, and the tight fittings of all the panels shows that they are sincere in making the car. The Matrix 1.6A has less power, softer in handling, higher priced (at least in Malaysia) than Proton Waja. But Matrix gives me the true joy of owning a new car, something my last two Protons could never provide. I enjoy the quietness of the engine, the smoothness of the transmission, the worry-free sensation of driving a new car.
Proton CEO mentioned sometimes before in the press that Proton's technology is more advanced that the Koreans. I am not challenging that statement as I am sure he is well-supporting his statement. But Proton, like many Malaysians, lack the personal touch in things that they do. They spend so much in the R & D to come out with a car that is technologically more advanced, and little do they know that by using low quality door handle that will break down in the first three months of car ownership, is totally murdering the joy of driving the car. Having to replace the power window system at RM490 three time in the first three years is fast dampening the owner interest to experience the next "more advanced" models.
Malaysians are forgiving lots. They can wait 20 years for you to prove to them that "Malaysia Boleh". But after 20 long years, their patience is running thin. They just cannot accept the fact that Proton is still producing cars that need to be sent to service centers for warranty claim every so often, and worst of all, on the same parts. This is not about technology anymore, this is plain sense of responsibility, or the totally lack of it. If losing a market share of 60 over % to 30 over % is a not-strong-enough signal, I don't know what is!

My first posting
Why do I need a blog? I really don't know. I will find a good use of it eventually. Treat it a place for friends to stay in touch. Don't take it too seriously.
