Memories of Guakong

I'll not be celebrating this coming CNY. Because my grandpa from my mother's side passed on two weeks ago.

Guakong used to be a very quiet man. Mostly he would sit at his chair there reading newspaper or watching television when we went to visit them.

Guakong loves to rare fishes and maintaining his little garden. Guakong is also a handyman. He made a lot of wooden stools and tables for us to study. He also made us few blackboards so that we could do some drawing when go to their house.

Frankly speaking, I seldom visit him when he was alive. I only found out that I actually miss guakong as much as everyone else.

Guakong started to get sick two months ago. Both his eyes were not in good condition. One has become totally blind, while the other one is 80% blind. We didn't know when he started to have eyesight problem because he kept them as his lil' secret.

Things turned bad when he lost his appetite and always reject our offer to bring them out. All because of his eyes.

Guakong was sent to the hospital on one Tuesday morning. But guakong kept on telling everyone that he is going for an eye operation. This means that he had been dreaming of undergo an eye operation, but we failed to meet his dream. Doctors told us that he can go for an eye operation once everything gets well. But guakong's health was not getting any better.


Guakong inside the quarantine room

Guakong was quarantined few days before his death. One night before he passed on, on his death bed, we sang Amitabha song for Guakong and kept on telling him not to worry because we are all grownup people already.


We spent the whole night in the hospital accompany Guakong. Time was so precious to us.


1am in the morning. The place was so quiet and isolated.

Guakong was still conscious before he died. He pulled away all the apparatus attached onto him including the feeding tube. After hours of struggling, Guakong finally passed on at 02.30am on 19 October 2008.

A few of us stayed back that night to accompany guakong and his corpse. And someone came in the morning, saying that we were having a party last night. Celaka.

My Naked Wawa

Guess what I have been up to these few days???

Working out on my super crazy job loh. Til then, I still not sure whether this is the right move. Boss is coming over next week and I'm like a crazy person, planning his schedule. Besides, I also need to tackle my wicked colleague. Haiz. Wasting my time only. He put me aeroplane yesterday. Celaka! This job is really stressing me out. Basically the job is easy and flexible. But carry a lot of stress. I hate seeing the words "consultant", "perunding", "electrical" and "engineering". You see my face and you'll understand how much "bitter" I've gone through.



I think I'm gaining weight. I've been eating a lot since come back from KL. Really have to put a big full stop to it. And CNY is around the corner. Have to keep myself pretty and fit. Oh ya, forgot to tell ya guys that I won't be celebrating CNY this coming new year. Reason? Follow up with my next post and you'll know.



Kuching is a nice place too stay. But I spent 1/3 of my time looking at my monitor. This is damn not healthy. Really need to do something about it. Haiz.




I started to get addicted to games again. Currently I'm playing Wawa. Do not need to download anything. Only need to register and start playing games with your friends!



I only start playing yesterday. In order to earn more gold to buy nice equipments, I need to stay naked for a while before I can buy a nice attires.

This is shenoyii - the naked wawa

Cute ma?

Maple Maniac

It's been a long long time since I played my shenoeyii. If I'm not mistaken, the last time I played is around March/ April when I came back for holiday in Kuching.



If you ask me whether I miss mapling, Yes, I miss mapling. I miss living in my virtual life, so boring and relaxing. However, I'm promise myself not to get involve in mapling as I'm building my career at the moment.


Can't you see I'm always smiling? Hehehe...

I was so obsess with Maple Story after my final year. I even make my own MS wallpaper consists of myself and my maple friends.



I even went to the Cash Shop there and dress up myself. (I don't have any cash to buy those stuffs)


Soldier



Graduate


Bride

...Or go enjoy Spa



...Or trying to imitate another unknown person's outlook.



I was awaken to find one article from Yahoo! news regarding a 'murder' case in Japan.

I don't know that Japanese police are so retarded. Small stupid case like this also want to take up until the whole world know about it. Haha.

Recession...tiam lor...

Everyday, I hear people telling recession stories.

Recession here... Recession there... Hai...

Bank of Scotland closed down. Imagine you put your "guan chai ben" (translation: Coffin saving) with Bank of Scotland and one morning you wake up and found out that you cannot die. Hai...

There are a lot of companies in Sg closing down and going to retrench most of the Msian working there. Luckily I'm still with Msia =)

And I heard there's a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Kuching loves to kick out their old staffs and hire new staffs in. We cannot say they are cunning. You have to understand, everyone is trying to tie down their tummy lo... Hai...

Anyway, I still feel lucky living in Msia as the recession will not affect us much. At least, you are still working, you are still paying your loans, you are still eating like nothing had happen... And the best part is,

I'm with SIME DARBY!!!

Two songs to share from 王杰. Enjoy!

忘了你忘了我


一場遊戲一場夢

There is a dog, from my neighbourhood, fell in love with a zebra from the far far away kingdom.

He misses zebra very much, but zebra doesn't want to see him because he is not nice looking. Very sad, that dog isolated himself from the other dogs.

One day, he got an idea. He wants to impress zebra so that she likes him.

So this is what he did.









Am I good looking now? =)

Orchid Pao

Woke up this morning in a rush. Because I answered my alarm clock, then went back to sleep zzzzz

So I made a mug of Nescafe. Drank 1/3 and went to work. I came home around 11am. Feeling a bit hungry, so I went to buy pao to eat. The shop is just 20 steps away from my house. And I'd been supporting them since I was a kid. I stopped supporting them after I went to work in Johor.

This pao shop name is Orchid Pao. It used to have a lot of branches throughout the whole Sarawak.



I bought Dao Sa Pao (Red Bean Pao). Their Dao Sa Pao used to be the best among the other pao shop.



Duh... Standard drop lor. The pao skin so hard and thick! And how come they reduce the Dao Sa??? Cost me RM0.80 per piece.



Their Sio Bee also used to be the hot topic among Kuching people. But when I ate this afternoon, they were so tasteless!!



Why are they doing business like that? Cari jalan mati only. The Dao Sa Pao and four Sio Bee cost be RM2.80. What a lousy meal I had.

I might as well go to eat RM2 chicken rice...



Got lenglui to see somemore

Hotdog

Boyfy's sis bought a new 'toy' recently.

My name is Hotdog


Am I hot?


I like being tidy


This is what I do when I feel like sleeping...


Goodnight!

Comments I don't want to know

Business is hard to do nowadays. Another empty handed day for me. Average out, I went to so at least 2 customers a day. But the work is tedious as I'm lack of technical knowledge.

When people ask me questions regarding my product, mostly I will say I need to check with my HQ. I'm sure everyone out there who asked me those questions know that I am a tin kosong. Not only that, I'm receiving many comments, like:

"You are from manufacturing background??? How come you end up in this industry? You can do it meh?" - Comment from AT when we went for the 2nd interview back in June '08

"This job is not suitable for you. You should find another job that requires you to sit in the office." - Comment from a family friend few days ago.

"You must know your strength. You must understand whether you like to work in this industry or not. Because doing business in this industry is not easy. You need to know everything from the ground." - Comment from a big old tauke.

"How's your new job? Wah, you do sales?!! So tough, man! If I were you, I cannot do. It's too hard for me." - Comment from a best friend of mine.

I don't know how do you guys find these comments, but I find them very discouraging. Those comments run wild in my brain these few days and create stress for me.

And everything doesn't go as smooth as what I expect.

Apparently I working home based as the office is still under renovation. The front part is expected to be done end of this week. Every morning I need go fetch my admin clerk and take her with me when I go meet customers. Under the sparkling hot sun and heavy traffic, I went to see customers to customers. End of the day, I come back empty handed.

People can think what they want, and comment what they like. I can also choose to listen what I want and do what I like. I know they don't mean to stop me from carry on with my career. They may have their own points too. But they do not understand that it is a great opportunity for me to explore.

This business is just like an untouched jungle. My task is to explore the market, record down how many species are there and start hunt them down one by one. I know that their are many hunters out there who already have their jungle tracks and traps hidden behind those big trees.

However, I'm still sleeping like a baby every night. Enjoy my meals like nothing had happened. Life still carry on. No big deal at all.

I went to Sahaja Yoga class last Friday.

Master Richard thought us to free our thoughts. Whenever you feel disturbed, free your thoughts and meditate. After everything cooled down, go to the top and look down and you'll have a clearer view. Most importantly, do not react. Everything will turned out fine and all good things will come after you if you stay calm.

I believe in what Master thought us. I will just need to do my part. Do not need to react when I receive such comments or business is not good.

Everything will come to me eventually, if I keep up the good work.

Gambatteh!

Start of the week...so busy meh???

Almost 12 and my working attires are not iron yet. Duh...

I've been super busy the whole day. Broke my record for driving more than 120 km. The furthest destination is 9 1/2 mile at Jln Penrisen there. But guess how long it takes for me to drive there from Kuching. Freaking 1 hour, man!!!

Listen carefully, 1 hour to reach 9 1/2 mile, which around 16 km from heart of Kuching. Damn the heavy traffic.

After coming back from work, I did some filling on my mileage. Dinner then continue working. Walau eh... I was like a full time typist after dinner. Type the stupid list of spare parts as requested by KL side.

The story doesn't end here. I still have a whole list of things for me to do tomorrow. Pretty exhausted now. Time for me to hit the sack. Nites!

Boyfy just gone back. I'm all alone again in the hotel. I feel lonely. All I did is munch away some crackers, sweet prunes, oats and a pack of mini maggie. I know, this is a not so healthy diet.

Today is Mooncake Festival. I still remember last year's Mooncake Festival, I was standing by the window, looking downwards from 16th floor. I was trying to see whether I can see any kids playing lanterns. But I see none. I think kids nowadays are too pampered. I don't think they would like to play with this kind of boring traditional lantern games anymore. Only us, the old ones, know how to appreciate it as they bring us a lot of sweet memories.

I think today would be my last time seeing boyfy until Hari Raya. Boyfy came to see me all the way from JB with my housemate using Miss White. Unfortunately, Miss White encountered with some gangster "road corn" (the orange corn shape road divider) on Saturday morning. Miss White suffered from some broken teeth (bumper chipped off) and eyes popped out (spotlight cover missing lor...!!). Hai... really a misfortune for Boyfy lor as he was the driver during the mishap.

Boyfy brought me to watch movie in the afternoon. We watched Babylone A.D. Nice action movie but the ending is a bit screw up. After that we went to buy some of my daily needs and also my new pair of heels!! Ahh... Don't talk about that stupid fucker ELLE pointed toe pumps anymore. Really fucker. It bites off my toes on my first day of work. Damn it. Yet it costs so expensive. Bloody shoe. I think it would take at least another two weeks for my toes to recover.



So I bought a new pair of shoes. It's Alain Delon (recommended by mum). Cost me RM64 after discount. Aikss... but nevermind la, as long as it won't bite my feet I'm happy already. I'll wear it tomorrow.

After shopping, we went to have Haagen Dazs! Yes, you hear it right, it's Haagen Dazs.



Eating Haagen Dazs is just like having a dream for us. I know you will say both of us either kiam chi poh or sua ku. But it's damn expensive you know... Normal person always eat like that sure bankrupt one.



We were so excited until we taste the ice cream. So so only la. Nothing so special lei. Cheh... all because of White Boss lor.. He kept on "suan" us for not eating Haagen Dazs. Really nothing special wor. Wasting my RM30.


Now you see it...


... now you don't! (Don't get me wrong... the portion is too small for two person!)


I think this one from Tasty Pot taste nicer >_<

In the evening, we went to have steamboat again. This time we went to Chang Qing. They have a wider variety of food. No wonder business so good. We ate and ate and ate. Wah... so satisfying. Yummy... but kinda' unhealty lo. Feeling guilty ler.
