The Simpsons!

This is a MUST watch. The yellow fever hit Malaysia already! I went to watch this last Saturday with Thana and gang, and really, this movie is just as i expected it to be.. Full of laughs and jokes that will make you roll on the floor... laughing.


I will not post any spoilers about this movie, all I'm going to say is that this is one cartoon that is worth it to pay for and watch in the cinema.. This one.. I've gotta agree with bart... "I will not illegally download this movie... I will not illegally download this movie" - (on the chalk board)


Watch Homer get smarter and save his family (after he ruined everything) and maybe even Springfield? This show is something you would want to miss.. So, now that you have finished reading this, get up from your seat you lazy bum and buy a ticket for The Simpsons Movie at the cinema.. *btw, if you're in Penang, do call me up if you don't have anyone to watch this with. =D *

Monday

Today seems to be a gloomy day.. Woke up at 6.15... then snooze n snooze till 6.28... Still felt a little heavy in my head.. didn't feel like getting up at all, but it's MONDAY... so got up... Shower and all and was down at the condominium entrance just when Ben reached. Got into the car, and here I am in office. At 8 am, the engineer came to my table to see if I could find a solution to the problem last week. I just don't understand how come some of the things in here are so not uniform. Like the production line next to each other can have different label requirements... It's kind of frustrating because this side wants so so so much while another side is happy with the system already.

Sometimes, I wish that all I'm doing is just some office paperwork.

Now have to swap PC for people.. huhu... k lar.. got things to do.. atleast now I know that the project is COMPLETE! haha.. I think so lar.. just the setup, and final testing.. Pray to God that everything will be okay. =)

Vitamin R

It's coming

The weekend is coming! =D Today is the last day of the week, and it's officially the 8th week of my work here in Agilent. Wow! A few more hours.. and it's gonna be weekend! But strangely enough, this morning I checked, I haven't got my full "salary" for this month yet.. Hmmm.. It can't be that I spent all my money in the savings account last week.. hehehe..Anyways.. I just took a photo of my rams.. and I'm gonna put them up here soon. hehehe. So proud of it.. now my desktop even looks way cooler than Vista! hahaha.. :p


Well.. I'm looking forward to a good day at work, everything started all well this morning... Hope I can rest earlier tonight.. and that this weekend will be a relaxing one.. Hmm.. it just hit me... the week passed by so so so fast. I could still remember returning Melissa's call last weekend, and it felt like it was two days ago..

Oh ya.. and it has been raining almost every day here in Penang.. I wonder if it's the same in other places. Well, I won't be in KL this weekend.. so sad.. *hehe* It's weird, cause going down to KL, only thing I do is sleep, travel, spend money and eat and just follow where my sister goes.. but it seems to be better than staying the weekend in Penang! haha.. :p

Yesterday, 2 people... wait.. 3 people asked me if I'm really going to buy a car! haha. Cause on my MSN messenger message I said if anyone has a car to part with below 15K, give me a call.. hehe.. Hmm.. don't know why suddenly I so desperately want a car. Maybe it's becaue of the stress of going home late late every day.. and sometimes wait till wanna pengsan.. till I take taxi go back.. :p *JH, no offence la. but dat day i reali tired and waited for more than 1 hour d.. :p*

Aisay.. just found out.. my sis went to Kuching ady.. so means no one to chat with me..=(

hmmm... missing so many people and so many things.. :p... better go find something to work on.. hehe..

Peon

Sometimes, I feel like a peon.. Work, work and work.. hehe.. But I still do love Agilent. =) Such a nice place to work in. Don't get pressured all the time, and with a little bit of extra effort you are sure to be able to get things done in ways that surpass what the superiors require. (all this is from my experience so far... you might have a different experience la.. haha.. :p ) My work is kinda like I have to depend on other people who don't do what i do to a certain degree. Like for instance, I have to confirm with them which computer are they going to use in the end.. or how do they want the program to look like? What are their requirements?; or this is the best part of what i do...

"ei... erm..where is the computer? Are you busy right now? you seem busy.. oh sorry.. I'll wait till you are done then *walks away trying to look busy with some other thing* " Hehe..
Life is good.. but it gets a little too boring sometimes.. now, my "Supervisor" is not around... He's in the States, so kind of like "slack" off a little.. heheh.. sometimes i 'tertidur' (doze off) at my desk. oh another thing about my desk area is that it is so SUPER COLD!!! Freezing weh... especially when it rains... but strangely enough ho, the lady sitting beside me can sometimes wear sleeveless tops.. walao eh.. no need sweater or something to keep extra warm. I will always have this jacket with me..

Strangely, I'm missing campus. When I was going for internship, I really wanted to just get away from uni, to not be stuck in my room, to go out, do something else.. have a different environment.. but now, sitting here, sometimes when I think of my friends back in campus, I really want to be able to just give a phone call and ask them out for dinner together. Jesse.. miss you lei... miss the times can kacau you and Diane *oops* =x Aih.. Kinda sad at times... Looking at the other side, I have Joel and Jia Howe to always DOTA with everyday after coming back from the office. =)

For now, what I would really love to have is a car. I don't know what is putting this in me but I just feel that my joy will be complete if I have a car now.. hehe. But that shouldn't be right le.. My joy should be complete with Jesus. =) Seems that both also I have to search.. ahah... Since God's word says to seek Him first, and ALL these things will be added unto you. If only God will send me a car tomorrow... hehehe.

Man.. something is not right.. I'm so desperate for a car.. not Father.. Father, can do anything to just turn me around arr? like... duno la.. I also dunno how to help myself ady.. Can like smack my engine or throw in more fire so that I will start burning again? haha.. Like when Elijah called on You to take the sacrifice soaked in water, You sent a fire that consumed all of it, even the waters.. So if my fireplace is wet, send that fire la.. Ignite.. ignite.. ignite...

"Come Holy Spirit, I need more and more of you.
Fill me again with the power of your Spirit.
Lord I'm crying out for more of you. "

Grey Clouds

Coming to Penang seemed like a dream come true. I thought that when I come here, I'd have less problems, I'd be more matured in my walk with God, that I'd be able to live a carefree life. When I came to Penang, I moved into a very beautiful condominium in Persiaran Bayan Baru, with a beautiful view from my room, I said to myself, "This is it! My own room with swimming pool view!". Carefree is out the window at the moment, feel that I'm holding on to so many things that I have lost focus. I don't know where to channel all my energy, I want to spend more time with Father, but I just don't have the motivation at times, and just plain lazy at times. Sometimes, I feel like this struggle with my own desires, and what I know should be done is easy as eating a piece of cake, but still, too many a time, I still lose the battle. Strangely, there are times, I can tell myself,

"There are 2 ways you can look at this life, be miserable and sorry for yourself and sit in your own sadness and rot there, or pick yourself up, put on a new suit, and start walking even if it's slower than a crawl, walk..."

No matter what hardships I face, I still have things to thank Father for. His gentleness, patience and grace in dealing with this stubborn, hard, rigid, thick skinned, thick skulled child of His. Though I may choose to turn away from Father, there He stands, extending His arms of love to me. "Father, forgive me for my hard ways, break me if that is what it takes. I have been running around, disobeying You, making my own rules, and worst of all, there are times that I have taken you for granted." I want to thank Father for His grace over my life, showing me His love that melts even the coldest heart, break the hardest walls and brings down all self pride.

I feel bored at work today, nearly over a week, I have nothing much to do, most of the times, I have been waiting, waiting, and waiting.. Waiting for this person to give me feedback, waiting for this to come, waiting for that to come. Sometimes, I just want to go home and sleep. Isn't it better than sitting on my desk doing everything non beneficial? Most of what i do is wait for 11.30 for lunch and then after that wait for 5.20 to walk out of the office gates.

Oh ya, if you guys haven't noticed, I'm also contributing to another blog Caramel Chocolate Swirls. My sister started this blog, and I have been invited to contribute to it. For now, it will be mostly about her wedding. I'm so happy for her, and also happy that she has included me in the preparation for her big and special day. I would try my best in doing the photo slide show.

Guess it's like how Danny put it... "if we look at all the miserable things in life, we will never be happy." if we worry about all the little things in life, we will have no life. Saying that I want to live a life of "carefree" in God is harder than it sounds. I thought that it's so easy to just live without worry, but sometimes, we just can't help it but worry, and think that we know better than God does.

Thursday...

Today is Thrusday! Yesterday was piggy Wednesday! hehe...

Well, I've added something new to my blog again... it's the Cloud Links you see on the sidebar there.. nice rite? =D Thanks to a friend who taught me how to go about it by showing me the link ler.. =) Thanks!

Anyways, today here at work, I'm kinda bored... Got nothing much to do, and I'm thinking of starting the second project earlier, but then again, I have this weekly report to write, so I guess I'll finish up this report first.

If you want to know how internship is like.. well, for me... the first few weeks was super exciting, learning new things, knowing new people, and getting new assignments... that you will work on and it will somehow contribute to producing money or aid in the process of wealth creation.. hehe... Sounds like BIG BIG BIG responsibility rite? Well, it gets boring after week 5... Things begin to be familiar, you will find that work is actually BORING and you just wish that you can break the norm like go and play badminton, or run the track, or just go shopping in IPOH! But noooo.. u cant.. work is work.. 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, 2 days on the weekends to "chill out" doing nothing basically cause by the time weekend comes, you'd be too lazy to do anything else but sleep.. hahah..

Just pray that yours will be different and super exciting all the way ler.. ehehe... oh ya.. actually ho... Agilent is a very good place to do your internship. You get to learn things, and you also get very little pressure n stress.. ehehe..

By the way, I'm going back to Kuching this September.. Not because it's my bday la... haha. but anyways, u guys can prepare presents for me. hehehe.. Will write in another post...

Friendly Sheeps~

This is a short picture movie that my sister came up with when I bought the second sheep (grey one). Orange sheep is called Sam and Grey is called Elizabeth Stevens.. haha.. :p Dan calls it Pam.. So we just go with Pam.


Sam was super friendly with Pam when they first met. They quickly became best friends and Sam's lonely times with my sister just ended. Sam now has a new friend!
But then, some if the naughty habbits that Sam has picked up from my sister from all the time Sam spent with her started to surface and Sam can't help it, but kept pushing and poking Pam and Pam, naturally got irritated and tried to fight back.

Sam, being older and more experienced has more strength and much more "fighting skills". Shoving out all that he learnt from my sister, he beat Pam to the table top!

All victorious, Sam sat on Pam, cheering to my sister

Like my aunties say, "Seng liao seh buay" means (in direct translation) " grow tail after plaing". What they mean is after playful fighting, they became enemies.

Hahaha.. Che just sent me the sequence of pictures.. I dunno the story.. so i simply told one.. heheh.. Ny ways.. if my sis got her version, I might post it here.. haha.. :p

Wife

Guys.. I'm getting married... when I find someone and am ready la of course.. :p

We men, have so many expectations from the woman whom we want to court and one day marry. Sometimes, I do feel that as a person, I might be asking for too much from my partner. Lets say, someday you meet someone that you really like, and you feel that she's the one.. and you start going out together. Then one day, after all the sparks die down, when you are comfortable with each other, and you know each other better, you find that she is not ALL that you expected. Would you call it ends? Does it mean that if the person we are dating/ courting is not up to our expectations, we should end the relationship? I feel sometimes, we just have to hold on.


I just want to ask everyone who visit my blog.. well, please do respond to this.. hehe..

To all da pretty ladies who read my blog:
What do you feel, being from the opposite sex, I'm sure you too have expectations of your life partner. What would you do, when u start going out with someone and then you find out that they don't fit all your expectations, or they lack in certain things that you never saw in them that they lack before.

To all the handsome gentlemen who read my blog:
What would you do? End the relationship and pray to God for a new start, or do you hold on? And pray that things will be better.

Please don't say anything to provoke anyone okay.. hehe.. I know this is a blog.. it's not a forum.. but just for once, have some discussion in my "silent" blog.. haha..

Michael Buble

Well, since I came to Penang and I met a really great man by the name of Benjamine, I have found out this new song that I really like right now. The song is HOME, it talks about going home. About how much this man wants to be home, through the seasons that pass in beautiful Paris, even though there are a million people around him, home is still where he wants to be.

This song actually is about how he wants to be home together with his wife, where as I, want to be home because I miss my family back there, not just my own family, but also the Bethany family. Charles is back in Kuching, but so far, I haven't even heard from him, Been nearly 6 months since I last heard from Pastor, is it just me or are you guys out there feeling the same? Sometimes I feel lost without the Bethany family, I guess sometimes, I have built my faith upon this family of God and God wants me to build solely on HIM alone, that's why He has taken me away from home, but still kept me in HIS BLESSED LAND Malaysia.


Bless this sun burnt land
With Your mighty hand
Take our hearts and lives
So all may know Your Love

I want to thank Audrey who spoke to me the other day and encouraged me, and even became a mouthpiece of God to me. Everytime I think of this song.. I remember God's calling over my life. I remember Him saying that I have a lot of potential and that He wants to develop in me. God, is there any magical way that You can just change my heart, my life, my thoughts, my desires? (taking the easy way out. :p)

Last night, I didn't sleep well.. Woke up a few times, woke up cause it was too hot.. then woke up cause had a dream, then woke up cause it started to rain heavily... =.=
what is wrong? Stress at work? haha :p I know Kianu and YiYi will disagree with me. haha.. Anyways, looking forward to every weekend, always waiting to board the bus to KL once a while. =)

Also want to take this opportunity to thank my sis and Dan for being so welcoming. Now got a "home" in KL. Hehe... Also to che who sometimes calls up and just talk though very seldom now.. hmm.. wonder who she calls ho.. haha :p

Ok, this post is just my random thoughts, the effect of not knowing what to do already. Feel like I have finished all my work. :p

Clear Skies

Penang is POLLUTED!! Look out the window, everything down there looks blur, there's a smokescreen over everything, from top to bottom, from bottom to top, and also sideways ler.. Is all this polluted air because of the annual forest burning in Indonesia? It's not really that BAD ler if you just look with your eyes.. but imagine breathing in those "visible" particles... You'd be sick in no time!

At the moment, I'm a little sick.. just don't feel so up to anything at the moment. Yesterday went to watch Die Hard 4.0. and before the movie ended, I was already developing a headache and that basically spoilt the rest of my day out.. Some weekend...

Anyways, the last two weekend I've watched really good movies.. They are Transformers and Die Hard 4 ler.. =D Transformers is a must watch and yeah, I agree with my friend that it is worth it to buy the original DVD when it comes out and keep it as a collection.

Die Hard 4 was really good, and the story about the fire sale (it's fire sale rite? :p) was great gain control of all the national communication, transportation and then take control of the countries utilities, and you are the new KING! haha..

Alrite... I guess that's all for now, goin to look for some food in the house... the guys have gone out.. aih.. I overslept.. =D
