Happy birthday abah!

Kinda late wishing my dad a happy birthday today. Now he's 53!

A father means so many things
An understanding heart
A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start

A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way
With encouragement and forgiveness
No matter what comes your way

A special generosity
And always affection, too
A father means so many things
When he's a man like you

I burned my finger

Was making that delicous yummy looking caramel dessert and somehow managed to get a little drop of the sugar caramel on my finger. I think I got second degree burn or something. Searing pain and it still hurts like hell!!! You know how high the temperature of burnt sugar right? It's over 100°c.

But I got 4 mini cups of desserts in return.

I had a calm weekend, quite unexpected but I treasured every moment of it.

End of the year updates

How was christmas everyone? I'm back at the office on the 2nd last day of the year. People are still holidaying I guess - the road was clear this morning. Mood yang sangat santai di ofis, memandangkan ramai orang cuti :p. The rest of my team is on leave so I'm kinda alone here but who cares. Oh well.

I read the news yesterday that Israel is starting a war or something? WTF? Sudahla dia block the road from any bantuan kemanusiaan masuk since long time ago, now they want to invade Gaza? On what basis? Hamas?? You started the whole thing and now you're blaming others pulak? And the US seems to support the invasion, tell me what's new. I'm sorry to say this in public but Israel can go to hell.

There I've said it.

Now we move on with events surrounding my personal life right now. Attended a cousin's engagement ceremony last Sunday and I met Farah of OSCC (formerly)! Said she's the bride-to-be's best friend since primary school. That got my mom worried hahaha... We're hoping for the best of course. Farah is Farah, nice girl and everything but abit of a wild side anyone would notice. But she's cool.

My car is in dire need of some tyre alignment. Got me really scared the other day when exiting on a ramp, something happened and I almost lost control of the car. S-C-A-R-Y. Alignment pronto.

That said, the car needs its periodical service also (oil change bla bla bla). Can anyone tell me any Perodua service center around Putrajaya/Cyberjaya? It's hell to go back to Klang just because there's the only place I know that has it. Of course I've googled but if people told me about it I tend to remember it better. Such lame excuse but yea I'm practicing writing important notes down now so I won't forget it. I'm a forgetful person. Oh yea I got this cute little notebook with super hot jacket from Prudential (thanks Ping Ting!). The notebook jacket is black and red (oooh I like) and what's more the jacket can be used as passport holder. How I longed for a passport holder ever since I got my passport - that's a few years back.  It looks ugy now what with wear and tear but it's going to be kept in it's pristine condition from now on tra la la la....

What else? Oh for last Friday I have to thank abdza for packing up my stuff in the office and Saro for any any covering up for me heh, it was really an emergency thing. Went to meet up friend to pick up my stuff on lunch break. Supposed to be back in office after that but things happened and yea I was in a tied position. Sometimes there's other matters that weighs more than work. I found my laptop safe this morning - I was worried. Now today my Friday work comes on top and interrupting my planned Tuesday list. Seems I have alot to do but still have time to blog...heheh... I'm flexible, can't you tell already.

Came in the office with my right part of the upper head hurt. Had coffee and then it was fine. Hmmm didn't figure stuff as poisonous as caffeine would be the right fix.

Planned to do year end shopping but lot looks like that not going to happen.. *sigh*

Which reminds me I haven't collected the RM600+ road tax reimbursment thingy yet. The light bulb kinda went on early this morning out of nowhere. Hmmm... that money will go to credit card payment obviously. Still no shopping for me. Sad,

I have to get my eyes checked. I couldn't read the signboards from decent distance this morning. That got me worried.

Right now I'm planning a secret project, nothing to do with IT, none whatsoever. No I'm not furthering my studies. No I'm not changing job. No I'm not starting up a business. No it's nothing to do with computers. Nothing to do with IT, none whatsoever. So stop fiddling around figuring out what it is. And no I'm not going to entertain private message/email enquiries. Friends who know me know how I can keep it sealed as long as I want. So don't bother. *insert creepy laughs with eerie background music here*

Movie

Went to see Yes Man last Satuday nite and it was fun fun fun! I don't really like Jim Carey in comedy except in The Mask - I don't really like that elastic face going on in every movie he's in :p For example, Ace Ventura. It is way off unrealistic (but still managed somehow to come off funny to me). But hey, I prefer serious acting, not cheap face stunts ok. Good laughs and all but it made me cringe abit.

He's also starred in many serious movie roles and I think I've seen them all, just because I wanted to see him trying out something else. But he is what he is, he does it best in comedy. This movie is no exception. Only that he's a real normal person in this, something anyone on earth can relate to.

So I recommend it highly to whoever still contemplating to see it. It's entertaining. You're going to have lots of lol's and maybe lortf's who knows....
