what if..

(music in mind: Sheryl Crow - All I wanna do)

was in the lift (elevator) the other day and as usual in the morning, its packed with people. so, then i was reminded by one of the 'dare' in the L.I.V.E book which was to say (in the elevator), 'i called for this meeting..!' hehe.. i guess it would be interesting to do so especially on a monday blue morning.. hehe

but anywayz, i've always wanted to do something.. 'extravagant'.. just to add to my 'life-history' of the wildest and craziest thing ever done, but of cuz.. never did happen. except for one time in melacca.. they had the traffic lights with the coutndown before it changes colour. so, when at one of the traffic light, the countdown was at 90 secs before it'll be green again. what my friends and i did was we got out from the car, and ran around changing driver, changed passengers (cuz we went in 2 cars). everyone around us was looking at us puzzled! well, of cuz they probably must have thought that we're just a bunch of brats.. hahaa.. but it was fun!

here are some of the list of stuff that i think would be crazy and fun to do with a bunch of wackos..
  1. in a elevator with a quiet crowd and get those fart making sound (i saw it sold in one of the weird shops in 1U)
  2. try on all the weird fitting clothes, take photos.. then just leave without buying anything from the shop.
  3. try on all the icecreams.. and dont buy any. but of cuz say, 'thanx for the treat.'.. (something i really wanted to do!)

anyone else got any wacky ideas? hehe.. i think it'll be fun to really be able to do it.. just to release some stress.. hahaha...

icon expressed :D

its kinda weird but i think i'm not the only one..
i kinda express my feeling alot thru emoticons.. when chatting with my friends on the web (yahoo or msn), i use the emoticons alot. like in the picture (right) is my way of showing that i'm sleepy and bored and trying to find some sort of entertainment by punching others (or myself) which i think it was funny. but in actual fact, its weird so all bored again and thus, doze off.

its funny cuz i realise that when i'm chatting with my friends, they too uses alot of emoticons. the emotional-icons. well, my friend used to use alot of crying and angry emoticons when we were working together as a team.. hehe. aside from that, with the new msn messenger that allows user to use emoticons that is moving. so with every sentence or conversation, there's a moving emoticon included.

well, i guess does make the whole conversation look more.. interesting and fun. until sometimes i think when i'm talking to someone (verbally), i tend to express my face like the emoticons! freaky.. shows that i should spend less time online chatting. hahaha..

but in most chat box, emoticons are available for users to express themselves. and people no longer need to type, 'i am angry', but rather just show an angry face emoticon and the message is understood.

is emoticons invading into human emotions? that'll be freaky... hehe.... :D

cleared

haze-zified

gosh.. the condition of the haze now is really getting thicker.. its like when you're waking up in the morning and looking out the window, it looks like its 4.30am.. but its actually 8am (and actually pretty late to get ready for work). most of the schools are closed cuz of the thick haze outside.. but how come i'm working now..?? :( hehe...

anywayz, here's a picture taken..


This picture is taken from my office in pj.. cant even see the apartment nearby..
note that this picture is taken at 2pm..!

I do hope the condition will be better after all this.. :)

blurred eyes..?

wasnt quite sure if my eyesight were getting bad or its the bad weather outside that's making my eyes blur. i think i'll just say its the weather.

its crazy madness seeing the weather outside getting blurer and blurer. newspapers been publishing about the haze and, seriously.. its really hazy. however, this is not the first time malaysia's been affected by the haze. i think the first time we got affected by it was when sumatra (i think) had the open burning at their forrest. gosh, and its still happening.. wonder whats happening to the ozone layer now..? (being a lil greenie now)

but, for some reason, there is still some foreigners and visitor still around kl.. well, while hanging out in kl city last weekend, there were still quite alot of them here.. enjoying the shopping spree.. (its megasales season now..)

anywayz, whatever it is.. God, please send down rain to clear the haze....

interesting fact 2: lunch fiesta

(this post is suppose to be published last friday.. but, well.. its here now.. *grin*)

today during lunch time, i had the most interesting lunch day. well, aside from the fact that we left for lunch early, everything else i encountered was interesting.

tower visitor
my colleagues and i decided to have lunch at klcc since there was a pc fair at the new convention center. well, we wanted to check it out so, a 'good-enough-reason' to go there for lunch. on our way there, there's always a bunch of visitors (which i reckon is from china) that would gather at one junction of the road to take a picture of klcc twin tower. without fail, there's usually a bunch of visitors there. hmm.. then i started looking at klcc to see what is so great about it that everyone is taking pictures of it. well, it is the tallest building in the world now and yeah, Malaysia Boleh..! hahaa.. then i realised, i dont have a picture of me infront of the towers yet! hehe..

crowds be crowds
as usual too, suria klcc is filled with people. locals, foreigners, family, workers.. they're everywhere! finding a quiet lunch place is just as tough as finding a place to sit. we decided to have lunch at the foodcourt and gosh, seriously alot of people. i guess because all the more its a friday (friday lunch time is usually longer for some companies to include the muslim friday prayers). so then, my colleagues and i split to find a place to sit. looking high and low, and at the same time looking at the food that others had ordered, there werent any empty tables. i found a 3 joined square tables i held on to one of the chair and called my colleagues thru my phone. then there was this dude that came and asked me how many people am i expecting, i told 3. suddenly.. 5 of his friends sat at the table that i was going to sit. *fruss* well, me being small sized (where i'm usually mistaken for a college student) doesnt mean i'm easy to be bullied.. but thank God, my colleague had already found another table else where. oh well, thinking of it now.. it is a funny sight.. hehe.. oh well.... will have to be more firm next time. ;)

tech sale
well, the initial plan to go to klcc for lunch was to go to the pc fair, so we went there and there's really alot of stuff there. 4 floors of techy stuff. selling pen-drives for less than RM100 for a 256MB..! i remember buying my first pen-drive for RM200.. sheesh.. oh well, then there's the display of the latest notebooks, mp3 players, digital cameras, pda.. *sigh* how i wished i had more money to buy all the latest techy stuff... hehe.. and as usually, for most pc fair in malaysia, you'll never leave the place empty handed. you'll go back with a bunch of flyers given throughout the whole exhibition walk.

lunch time was over and the crowd became lesser. everyone slowly headed back to their offices. we had too.. but it was an 'interesting' lunch time..

and as usual, feeling really sleepy at work after lunch.. *yawn*... ;o)

thousand apologies

i think if anyone had read my first few post would know the reason why i started blogging... to join the COD bloggers started by Messy Christian but due to my constant lateness and 'buzyness'... i have to opt out..

so here it goes..

"to all COD Bloggers that joined Messy Christian.. i would like to ask for your apology for not being able to coop with the speed (and the discipline to blog *blush*) of posting my thoughts on the COD. wishing you guys to have the fullest of fun when reading and being inspired by Richard Fosters' book. it is really a good book and practical too.. so, Happy Blogging on COD!!.. altho i might occasionally do that.. ;o)" hehe

so, yeah.. i'll continue to blog.. of maybe other stuff.. maybe on COD.. or maybe on other books.. but i'll still be reading the roundups compiled.. may post a comment there, though.. hehe.. ;o)

interesting fact 1: coffeexified


drink quite alot of coffee till if i dont drink one cup for one day at work, i'll definetely have a big headache the next day. creepy, eh.. but i bet i'm not the only one like that.. ehehehe

but 2 months ago (1st june), my friend and i decided to go on a coffee fast. reason behind the fasting was for a mission trip that we'll be going to miri. we both wanted to do something that will 'cost' us something and yeah.. coffee was our choice.

man, the first week of my fasting was draining... seriously draining. i had to conduct training to a group of people and during the afternoon tea break, everyone was drowsy and so was i. but the tempting part was, the tea lady prepared nescafe coffee for all of us.. gosh.. imagine the smell that filled the whole room, the aroma that makes your mouth all watery, the wanting to have that cup to make your day more complete.. but alas, i had to drink plain water.. everyone in the class was asking me to take a cup and gosh, how i wished i could but i had to reject it. *sigh..* then, after the first day, i had headaches. withdrawal symptom that is. and this had to go on till July 14 when the mission trip starts.

the challenge continued when i was asked to stay back late, or work night shifts.. and no coffee. imagine staying awake while the rest of my colleagues were drinking coffee from Coffee Beans and Starbucks or even from the nearest mamak stall. and the most i could compromise was drinking tea which did not have the same 'kick' as coffee would. oh well... endurance..

just when we arrived in miri, the first place my friend and i headed was towards san francisco coffee and man.... coffee tasted good. hahahaha!! i had my ice-blended mocha.. yumm~ never did i realised that i would miss the taste of coffee.. but throughout the whole duration of my coffee fasting, i've learned a few things.
1. i have to go thru the discipline of fasting where i learn to really depend on God to give me sanity.
2. endurance, patience, perseverance... many times we wanted to quit but we keep each other accountable.
3. humble cuz i didnt tell anyone that i was fasting, even when they wanted to treat me Starbucks Coffee.. *sigh*
but above all, after all that was done, and finally the fast was broken.. it was a good experience.

now, i just need to get myself back to coffeexified rather than tea-xified. ;o)

session timed-out

haha.. yes, i've taken a long break from blogging. well, was thinking the other day whether i wanted to continue blogging or not (due to the busyness at work and my laziness to turn on the computer after working hours). but after some conversation with some regular bloggers, i might give blogging a second chance.. haha. probably this time, i'll be blogging on a shorter length.. hmm..

anywayz, throughout my temp-bloging-break.. i've been thru alot of interesting experience.. allow me to share.. in awhile.. need to get all my thots in a more proper manner.. but anywayz.. check out for some interesting posts coming up.. :D
