I was involved in a fender bender in Subang yesterday, caused by a moron on a motorcycle. He was crossing a road divider (to save distance WTF) and slowly cruising in front of me so I had to slow down. A car behind me (a Proton Wira) saw this and in turn he slowed down [...]

What great way to start 2008 with a pile of money obtained from other people’s credit cards? I am writing to share my experience today. I am lucky I am not that stupid although I didn’t realize an obvious bit earlier during the call. By the way the call came is as “Private” Caller: Is [...]

I have recently discovered that I am having difficulties to separate work and life. I am always worried about work which is good for my employer, but very bad for my household. Since I also have sleeping problems, having to work in a shift environment doesn’t make it any easier for me. That’s what has [...]

On Thursday a close family friend invited us for buka puasa (break fast). We had a good time talking and enjoying the lovely food. As we were about to return home my better half mentioned Jaya Jusco and the family only little boy aged 2+ heard it and wanted to follow us. I was worried [...]

I have been very busy for the past several weeks and I am expecting that I will be for the coming weeks as well. The reason is mainly that I have just changed my dayjob and this new place is a tough place to work in. Contrary to my previous place, it is so uptight [...]

Behind my house there are currently 3 dogs, owned by my neighbors. There used to be only one, but the other 2 have just been added to the family. I think they are renovating their fence or something, because the fences are torn open at the wall side behind the house. Every now and then [...]

I just went through a hectic, but satisfying weekend. Went to Melaka (southern part of Malaysia) to help out in my niece’s engagement ceremony. It was tiring but satisfying. The ceremony ended up well, and I wish them a happy engaged period… until the real wedding day arrives!

Yesterday morning it was raining quite heavily since about 4:00 am or so and the whole day was cold and dark. I caught a cold because of the sudden change. And then today, it’s (very) hot as usual. Mother Nature is really not feeling very well and so am I.

Next week is going to be my final week serving my current employer. I am leaving because I received a much better offer (and prospect) for employment with an American company. From the security field, I am crossing back to UNIX servers, with a twist – I am going to work on Oracle as well. [...]

I’ve received a bad news a couple of weeks ago, that one of my good friend from college has been diagnosed with Leukemia. I was shocked and wished it was not true, as it was unconfirmed. Today I had the opportunity to contact his wife who is working in the same company as me, and [...]

For the next couple of weeks I may not be able to write so much, due to the fact that I am on 24×7 standby duty at work. This only happens like every 3 months, so I am OK with it. On another development I have received quite a number of invitations for interviews by [...]

It hurts when you are betrayed by someone. It hurts more when that someone is an old friend who you really trusts. As some of you might be aware of I did conduct some PHP + MySQL training in 2005 and 2006 – and of course I made some slides. Not a course ware. For [...]

Yesterday: I went to see the company doctor due to my giddiness problem and the doctor said I need to exercise more. My cholesterol level ain’t that great either and my risk to getting a heart disease is 7%. Lucky for me my blood pressure is normal. Today at a pharmacy I got a test [...]

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Holidays. Be safe. I will be away for the weekend, to a galaxy far far away. Just kidding. I am going to Pahang for my wife’s business. It’s not a vacation as I have to spend my time in the hotel room working on a development [...]

When I woke up at dawn today it felt like I have been hit by a train. Decided not to go to work, send text to my shift partner and manager. The weird thing is that I did not realize I have a fever. Well, a slight fever anyway. The fever is because of throat [...]
