Ran the KL marathon during June. My first run at KL Marathon. Hate the route of going up hill and down hill towards the highway but glad i still manage to finish it despite months of MIA in jog/run training. Enjoy the pic

Is this a team anymore?

2010-07-21T21:07:00.002+08:00

Today I am feeling sad.

Sad to know that the team I am working with is just a team at the surface. When we were happy jolly we happy together. When one in need of help and affected requested for changes in the works other do the cold stare of unwillingness will shine on one.

Friends still friends in the team i working with but some are just colleague more than a friend. They tend to be more selfish toward their jobscope. This is what i feel, maybe i am over reacted but today i strongly feel such way.

I still want to say a million thanks to a friend in team that willingly put himself out and offer the help in front of all the manager where to give me a needed lift or push or pull whatever you call it.

It really touched and motivated me to be success in that task that i bang into wall.

A million thanks.....

The power of comic

2010-02-13T16:55:00.002+08:00

Probably some of us had lay our hands on comic before, some during teenage while some still watching comic till now. I fit into both the case. Happen to be a fans of several comics mainly from Japan, Hong Kong and China. For you who likes comics you would heard your parents saying "Dont read such useless waste. Go study your text books!" Well I kind of disagree with this.

For me, comic had done 1 very very good job to me and that is introduce me into the world of sports. During primary years I am a fatso, a kind of nerd and I believe my past time during that time was study text book and Legoing. Since secondary year with coincident I cross path with Comic/Manga and for those born during 80's you would know this comic call "Slam Dunk". Obviously it is relate to Basketball and after finishing it I give myself a try to play basketball in my secondary years. And I end up being a not bad player. Have my range have my drive.... and now through comic as well I being introduce to one of the favorite sports of America - American Football.

I started reading the comic "Eyeshield 21" through the comic magazine and found it is interesting. I know of the existence of American Football before and my initial perception towards it is similar to Rugby and is a rough barbaric sports and is just not a sport but is an action that easily kill yourself with the tackle and others. In real fact it is not as I thought it be. After I read the comic ya is still a heavy body contact game and the bashing the tackling is rough but I start to appreciate the art of it. Body contact is unavoidable but the tactic is superb. Shotgun, running game, sweep etc etc. Is no more a barbaric game where you just trying to overpower the opponent but to outsmart them. Each player in each position plays a vital role. Professionalism in the position is the very key. Now I not a die hard fans that follow NFL games but I pay attention to the particular SuperBowl game where the best of the American League and National League (i not sure how the separate the team into 2 league but i take it as like NBA where eastern conference and western conference meet in the final) play in it.

Comic too can turn the boring history lesson into fun and interesting teaching material (i personally think). Lately I been reading a history base manga call "Ravages of time" which base on the historic record of the 3 kingdoms. Yeah you would say the manga did not follow exactly to the history but the way they convey the message is very very nice and make you feel interested to it.

Currently I am on hook to this few manga.

One Piece, Ravages of time, Eyeshield 21, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Conan and others...

Short note:

HK comics are cool and the drawing are superb.

Japanese Manga is plot and very imaginative. Story line also catching your attention.

American Comic is Heroic themed though i am not a fans of it but is nice as well.

End of all

Happy Tiger years..... Gong Xi Fa Cai to ya all...

Classic quote happen around me...

"If held a sports events between those who born before the 80's and after the 80's, the pre 80's babies will kick post 80's babies @$$. Post 80's babies are good at finger sports (ie computer game and console game) only" ~my cube neighbour

Merdeka Run.... more like a postponed Merdeka Run

2009-11-02T08:07:00.004+08:00

Sunday early morning with sleepy eyes driving down the PG to participate the long ago registered Merdeka Run that being postponed from August till November.

The run is 6km and fairy nice run with just a little bit of polluted air around the city.

Fairly organizer is not really prepare after the long postpone where we did not get our T-shirt for that but T-shirt is not our main target, the medal is. Luckily medal did not dissapoint us.

Didn't really clocked the timing but should be slightly over 39 minutes. Comparative to previous run seems to be a set back. Pressure is on to tackle the PG bridge run.

Us before the run start. Welcome to fresh join #3131

近来的生活点滴。。。

2009-10-27T11:02:00.008+08:00

好久没发挥我的中文能力了。

想把近几个月来的一切融入一篇blog中，纯粹因为没什么时间把一件一件的生活历程写成一篇大文章。

工作

就先把最烦人，最令我头大，最厌恶，最放不下的事开始吧。工作感觉上不是很顺利，一切新的科技与测试技巧都把我难倒了。如果当初我有机会到美国与同事一同做上一个project那我觉得我比较能应付得来。但基于种种经济效应与避免不了的事，我的机会被剥夺了。现在心头的一块超级大石头就是手头上的一个programing的烦恼。希望能在近期里把它弄好。

家

新家还在供者。每个月都要供上一定的数目与银行。虽然我的开销得缩小但我觉得这是一件好事。与其我的钱不懂的话在什么东西上，这个家可以说是我的一种另类的储蓄。慢慢的还要做些装修与买进一些生活起居和电器。下一个目标-LCD电视。。。。

健康

近来都满积极的和朋友跑步。常常一起在放工后到公司的健身房哪儿跑步，以应付将来临的PG Bridge International Marathon。最近也参加了一个6公里的跑步活动，用了大概38分钟的时间来完成跑道。成绩还算理想，照着这样的速度与成绩我该能在3小时以内跑完21公里吧。这是我与PG Bridge Half Marathon的目标。

朋友

与公司里与同事和朋友的感情还真得很不错。非常喜欢这个team的感情。感觉上这个team的关系是最好的了。不论是同辈或这是与上司的感情都好到不行。虽然还是会有少许同辈或上司比较怪和难搞，但我是那种凡事都还好和比较容易适应的人，只要他们较少烦我，我就ok啦。

嗜好

最近还蛮爱上不少东西。之前的爱好如打game，看漫画之外，现在又爱上了“纸扎”。哈哈。真确点说是纸艺术。比如下图所表达的。从网上学了和弄了5只机械人，把它摆在公司的座位上。还不错吧。很可惜的是，同事很喜欢把他们摆成各种不懂得性姿势。真是有点无奈。。。FB上我也迷上了很多很多的game。种菜啦，养鱼啦，抓老鼠啦，网游啦，一摞摞的。

其他

年尾了，总算一下从11月到明年1月我所受到的“粉红色炸弹”，总共有11单。好吓人。。。看来同岁的旧同学大家都乘今年结婚摆酒。
最近遇到了一位旧朋友。她就坐在公司里离和我在同一条“小巷”里。她是我之前在实习时认识的。刚遇见她时我只觉得他很眼熟，看了她的名也觉得很熟。寄了封点邮问了朋友是不是之前我认识的朋友后才敢肯定是。哈哈，奇怪为什么我会这么不肯定？难道真的忘了？难道是真的老了？。

Raya nature getaway

2009-10-12T08:01:00.011+08:00

Sungai Lembing..

A good nature getaway.

Great relaxing waterfall, quiet small town, Kuantan hangout, beautiful Cherating.

Let the Pic convey my msg.

Teluk Cempedak

First Stop after a long highway driving - Teluk Cempedak near to Kuantan

Beach view of Teluk Cempedak - my first encounter with the South China Sea.

Sungai Lembing Town

We reach the destination and this is a small quiet peaceful town.

View of the town at the foothill of Bukit Lembing.

Town Center - the main road of Sungai Lembing

Towering old tree, kind of a trade mark for Sungai Lembing

Our lodge guest house, fit 8 of us into this room with a share bathroom with all the guests in the lodge. Not too bad though.

The market where we had breakfast. Famous for its Tou Fu which I cant differentiate how special it is from the others.

Rainbow Waterfall

Group photo before we take off. Yes you are right we just sit at the back of this 4 wheel to the destination

On our way

Pit stop #1 for you to "wee wee", the rest is on foot.

View from the pit stop

First obstacle to the waterfall - crossing the river.

There is still a little distance to the fall from here but at here with this view, it worth all the hiking to here.

Flowing stream from the waterfall

Another breath taking, beautiful nature view.

Enjoying the cool refreshing water.

Me here... at the rainbow waterfall

The standing stone, great job of our driver/tour guide uncle. Seems to be his hobby as he stood another 3 stone on our way back to the pit stop.

Kuantan

Me on the field in front of the Kuantan State Mosque. Yeah seems like I lost the football game but that night yes I do... I lost the fantasy football game.

State mosque of Kuantan. Quite grand there.

Cherating

Cherating beach

The groups of us request for a jump photo shot so.....

Me on the beach.

Like the sky.... this is taken on a DSLR(not my) and the pic is great

This taken on the handphone photo. Not bad for me but not as good as a DSLR.

Lembah Bujang 10Km run

2009-09-28T07:53:00.003+08:00

My first 10km run of the year.

Not really satisfy with the finishing time.

10km ran for 1H 15minutes..... Well I guess the only "excuse" I could give myself is that is after Raya and is been 2 weeks since my last consistence training. Raya full of gluttonous feasting of seafood and high calorie food.

Well all those are just excuse. PG bridge run is just a month plus or so. Need more consistence running.

Recently had been prepared for the PG Bridge run. Join a bunch of colleague/friends in training every monday/wednesday/friday. Making some good progress here as we able to run around 1 of the company building started from 6 laps to 10 laps now. Last Sunday we decided to join the charity run organize by an outside company.

Welcome to the hotel of California....

2009-04-29T23:21:00.005+08:00

驾着我的在美国加利佛尼亚租借用的车，在其大道上奔驰，想着晚餐的着落。
耳边传来了收音机一段很熟悉，很经典的曲子。。。

有点反映出我现在人在加州，驾着车，找着晚餐，回到酒店去。
多希望酒店的名字就叫Hotel California。。。

Life on the business travel to Santa Clara

2009-04-22T08:22:00.002+08:00

Step on the ground of a well developed country...
Feeling so nice....

Santa Clara, silicon valley. From my hotel to work I would had feel it is made out of silicon. Yahoo on my left, Cisco on my right, Sun Microsystem just miles away. So high tech, so many engineer, so many highly intelligent people walking by....

Weather here is the thing I like the most here. Morning temperature reach around 15oC, noon time you can walk 1-2 km under the hot sun and you wont even sweat. Though it is dry but it is relaxing...

Traffic here is the one I handle with care. Changing style from left lane drive to right lane drive. Having a cool Vtec big car call Pontiac G6. First few days I was driving like 20 mph where get hornned by the american for a few times just 2 miles drive from the rental back to hotel.... sigh.... Now I can ramp it up.... but no Malaysian style driving here....

Food is different. Bagel, Bread, Sandwich, pancake.... all wheat made product. Burger, Steak, Bacon, Sausage.... all meaty and oily. Now I know why they are tall and fat. I like Bacon at first but now I feel it is salty. Oh ya salty.... everything here can easily get too salty and I can still see some american taking the salt bottle and sprinkle some on their food. So far I like their Burger and I am always looking forward to the Japanese food here. So worth to try on the Japanese food here. Mexican food are salty and beannies, wondering why they so like black bean paste. Korean food here are nice too. Chines Dim Sum is expensive as 1 portion of the siu mai that consist of 3 piece cost u $4 but is really big and you can feel the whole shrimp is in you mouth.

People here are friendly as well. Well most of the American I met here are... The most unforgetable interact with American is during my first dinner in the hotel restaurant. A 50 years old male American from Hawaii come into the restuarant and in the restaurant is just me that time. He ask if I need a company and I was stunned a little bit and then say yes why not. In Malaysia you wont do that. That guy unfortunately I forget his name told me a lot about America. Tipping, where to go, where to eat etc and he been to Malaysia too. Climbed the Mount Kinabalu.... cool uncle he is.

Working life style here is big different as well. People come in around 9am and back around 5-6pm. Early morning before work start there are people working out in the gym. Seeing people cycle to work with full protective gear. Heard some of them cycle for like 45 minutes to come to work. Lunch time there is people crowded the Basketball and Volleyball court. They are relax and productive. My first day here there is professional people come to check me out on my ergonomic. Asking me if I am comfortable with the chair, my leg is in the correct position, table is high enough, do I have a mouse so that dont need to use the laptop touchpad. Employee are treasured here.

Shopping is heaven here.... branded stuff in Malaysia here cost like nothing. Gap, Levis, Gucci, Timberland, Polo, Banana Republic all sale like $10 you can get a good shirt. 1 visit to the heaven call Gillroy here already cost me $170..... and I had control myself in the spending... imagine if I lost control of myself....

Well this lengthy sentence I guess shoudl be no one interested. Let me have my photo then I post some beautiful scenary up and let the viewer see....

3rd day in US

2009-03-29T09:43:00.002+08:00

To all the frens, I been in US for 3 days. Is a rush trip that my boss inform me during I am on stupid sickness that I have to go to hospital for mearly sore throat and fever. WTH???

Been first time stepping into US soil and long plane trip. First impression here.... not to my liking. Have to adjust to right lane, feel small with the US plp (physically and mentally), not feel like home. But I am making progress, like the food, like the plp. Infact yesterday a totaly stranger I think around his 50 sharing a table to have dinner with me. Not due to the restaurant is full but is exact opposite that it is totally empty. We chat we talk, I kind of like this as I dont have to eat alone.

Notice 1 thing here that credit card is very very useful here. Even on a meal of US$ of under 10 they accept the card. This is good news for me as I am running low on cash and just been to ATM and WTF cant get money from my Citi bank account. I think I need to get some cash from the PG frens here with transferring some RM to their Malaysia account.

Havent been to much place yet, still feeling the jet lag. Today slept till 12pm and I am suppose to have poker night with frens last night but I blow it as I fall asleep at 8pm. Woke up around 12am and well dont care about letting the frens know as well that I "Fong Fei Kei" lah.... hahaha.

Will update some pic when I have times.... or I take more pic. hehe. Weather is damn cold here.... shivering when out of lobby to my car.

Till next time lah.... I want to enjoy my beer at the bistro here. Free Drink!! yeah!!

My quote of this year - Grounded & Flat

2009-01-19T11:09:00.006+08:00

To start of, is not a good year cross over for me. First of all, I lost opportunity for the travel due to the world. Secondly, recent biggest boss of the company I am working in just announce due to the world what ever hardwork you done last year will be pay with stock only and your income is staying flat.

Well I am kind of expecting it but seriously when it was annouce it still hurt.... but I believe there is nothing that make the company I am working with to be exempt from the world. With the recent commitment I had (it is big) I wonder had I done the correct decision to bear the commitment. Anyway I had to bear it sooner or later.

Everything started with last years toward the end of years. My travel plan was constructed and has a bright chance to set my foot to the United State of America. Thats the hope given as I had looking forward to it since I join the company. Then come the news (kind of bad) that the last boss will be transfer out from PG and work at Costa Rica factory. The last boss was kind of the key for our team in PG to success and get the chance to work on US. As waiting toward the end of years, the world crumble and so is several of my colleagues travel plan while I am crossing finger to send me to US ASAP. The situation just get dark.....

Finally Jan 1st 2009, the staff of power being past from old boss to the new boss and my travel plan being finalized. What a bright sunshine day for me. Mood happy, work scheduled, contact being made, news being spread (to a little portion of friends), packing being done (for a little), US Visa being applied and NBA Golden State Warrior Oracle Stadium Map had almost being printed out, all of sudden an emergency meeting being called by the new boss. Raven circling the sky of our group, fog clouded our department, days turn dark, uneasy feeling filling up all the cubicles. In the meeting decision being made. All eligible travel engineer to US all being grounded......

All of this I wont say I am not prepared for it but I do have a certain percentage on my mind that I am prepared for the worst. However it is hurt and uneasy feeling keep rushing out despite of it. Usually within a group I can see the future of the group where it heading to and where am I heading towards, now my sight are clouded. Potetial of project being kill and being axed by the company is there and the chances are high. There is no way out since the world is seeing the same thing. Small potatoes like me is in the agony of uncertanties.......

缣的船只如今航行在茫茫大海，漆黑一片，没有多余的粮食，没有多余的修补器材，没有目标，没有宝藏地图可寻，没有多余的黄金来供给日常费用。有的只是一艘载满承诺的船，接近极限，少许破烂的船和一个曾是充裕的码头。

A song to remember

2008-12-16T07:46:00.002+08:00

Today has my encounter with this song over FB and it sparks a sudden memory of someone I know who send me this song before.

I will remember her everytime I hear this song.

PG bridge run 2008

2008-11-20T14:03:00.002+08:00

Is the annual PG bridge run. This year I am participating it in Half Marathon again. Not dare to challenge myself over the full Marathon of 42km.

This year the event started over at the famous, glamorous mall at Bayan Lepas area - Queen's Bay Mall. Previously it started over at USM which is nearer to the bridge. Rumour says that it is due to the fact that the opposition had taken over PG state and federal doing some "dirty" work of stopping USM to be borrow out their field for PG bridge events. Well this is rumours so how true it is, I am not commenting.

Hence this year the distance for half Marathon had been pro-long.... last year is just 22km (I think) but this year the distance being 25km. Do not underlook the extra 3km as it is 3km of hell when you are tire and having leg sore towards the end of the run. A colleague of my who are GPS map ethusiate measure the whole distance which is actually 26km for the half marathon distance....

Like any previous years I did not do any preparation work for the half marathon. I never train before the event just like usual play my sports on the regular day. Shockingly this year I was able to run/jog my way till the almost end of bridge over Butterworth. Last year I started begging for air by the mid of the bridge and start walk my way. I take this as a good sign for this year. Apart of this little achievement, there is another goal I wanted to grab is that I wanted to beat my father as since I participate in PG bridge run, he had been beaten me. Always finish ahead of me and I didnt even know when he overtook me. This year is a sweet revenge as I am proudly saying that after I reach, I get my cert and medal, had my drink and chit chat with friends for a while then on my way back to my transport, I saw my father just crossing the line. YEAH!!!!!!!!

ok lah enough bragging here is the photo taken after the run.

The medal - it looks solid and prettier than last year's
Front view of the medal

My running number (go buy 4D dude)

P/S: to my friends who are marathon runner come for PG bridge run. It is very interesting to experience the run and the bridge. To those SLR phtographic lovers, come too. Not to run maybe but you can get a lot of good pic on the bridge with sunrise. Saw many photographer taking picture (not participating the run) on the mid spam of the bridge.

Kch Trip...

2008-11-12T14:02:00.009+08:00

Pictures says a thousand words... I dont have to describe more of my trips here.
If you happen to need the thousands and 1 words, leave a comment and I will add on the caption.
Cheers....

Till here, all above is for the happy couple. Below is some random shot of my KCH trip.

The machine is in the house.....

2008-11-12T13:53:00.003+08:00

Yeah man after the long waiting..... finally I am back to contribute to the gaming industry.

Just got this fresh an hour ago. Though without OS and got some issue with my LCD monitor where old model use to tap power from the PCU P/S but newer P/S come without the power tap out source. I believe this will be solve in matter of a day. Will add on the actual CPU when it is up up and flying.....

Happy Diwali to all my friends

2008-10-24T10:03:00.002+08:00

Today receive the door gift thingy from my office area here and it is for Deepavali gift.
Kind of sweet and caring. Since I am short handed in my monthly blog idea, taken this opportunity to express something here.

I know many of us complaining about Malaysia being unfair to the non-bumi and stuff and heavily criticise that Malaysia is not the ideal place to be with low currency rate, corrupted administrative personnel, bad planning city, unfair treat and stuff. However the festive celebration and unity of the races is what I like the most in my country. Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Christmas we all celebrate as one. I get Raya Kuih from muslim colleague, I believe I will get Deepavali Murukku from my Indian manager, Christmas I hang out with christian friends and Chinese New Year I bring some tangerine to my colleague. Thats the spirit I adore.

Special Door Gift from PDC (Penang Design Center)

Last week I just had my first personal trip for this year back to Kuching, Sarawak for my friends wedding. Is a fruitfull trip that I enjoy a lot. Yet I am feeling lazy to elaborate here today so I keep this for next month. Here are some preview pics.

The beautiful/handsome couples.

Kuching (Cat) city - the place I spend my 4 years Uni life at.

Lastly, to all of you Malaysian/non-Malaysian at Malaysia now. Happy Diwali and enjoy the long weekend

Happy Diwali/Happy Deepavali (I believe both bring the same meaning)

Enjoy the Festive of lights.

A long waited fame......

2008-09-04T09:22:00.006+08:00

Is been another year and the annual PDC cup had come again. Like all the previous years, this year I had participated in 4 games (out of 6 game) - Volleyball, Futsal, Dodgeball and Basketball. This is a wrap up for myself and PP team

Volleyball
Had been called upon by the captain who are my colleague who are the 4 years old guy sits beside my cube. Being participating last years and end up number 4 overall, this year the caps had a vision to go into final and win the game. With the additional players from other groups who has good experience, atheleticsim we do have a chance to claim the throne. We were winning the 1st match but fall the 2nd match against the team who end up to be champion this year. The 3rd match the key but we fell short. 4th match is just to finish the round robin game and determine the ranking. PP team end up won 2 lost 2 at 3rd placing.

PP 2008 Volleyball team

Futsal

PP was in the final last year and lost unwillingly to the last year champion. This year we are forming the stronger team. With players from my current group who we play regulary and has all the cooperation being polish plus the younger squad from the lab who well known with their futsal/football skill. Though we were stronger but so are other team.

1st match we face a well fit team who looks tough. However we were able to secure the victory with 5-3 margin. It could be due to the opponent first outing.

2nd match scarred us as we were force to a 4-4 tie with the last minute goal from the opponent. It so sore as they were the last year champion and we vow to win over them as a revenge but we fail to do so. I was down as I was the goal keeper and conceded the last goal

3rd match was again a tough match. Winner will sit relax and confirm a ticket to the final while loser need to depends on the other match between the other 2 team. We should had the upper hand but again lack of focus cost us. It end with a tie of 2-2.

4th match was a do or die game with both team stand a chance to go into the final. It was a tough and must win game for us. We give 130% to the game as it was the final. Finally it pay of as we won 4-1.

Final match and we were not the favourite. Some of us are playing with injury picked up during the previous match while 1 of the key player had to catch plane relocation to US. Our guys did not cave into the disadvantages. We fight and we had the early lead of 1-0. Opponent keep fight back and they were paid off with a tie. Lastly final wistle blow and the game goes to penalty. With our player clever penalty taking and a good save from goal keeper we won the game with penalty shot of 3-1. We were champ finally.

The Futsal Winning PP team

Dodgeball

Saw the game before but never interested to play with it. Joining is due to making a deal with the dodgeball captain that I scratch his back he scratch my. We lost the 1st 2 matches due to unfamiliar to the rules and to the game since all of the member were newbie and none had played last year. The referee and the committee has something to do with our lost as well as they were not finalize the rules and we kind of be the gunea pig. However the last 2 matches we won with a beautiful results. Could be thanks to the previous "warm up" game that we lost. End up 3rd was not a bad placing....

Basketball

I am one of the key player for it every year and this year before even it start we are facing some problem. We were just merely could get a full 5 player + 1 subs to fill in the roster only. Lack of response from the PP team to join make us worried of the stamina and foul trouble we could have. Lastly with persuation and begging we fill the roster with 12 names but at the actual day there were never more than 8 players turn out. We just have to play with what we got.

1st match we lost 12 points to the potential champion of the years. With the roster, I were never put hope to win the game but I disbelieve we lost to double digit. Had 6 points for the match and miss 4 3-point shot. Additional to that we lost a player due to injury.

2nd match was against the should be weakest team of all. We could had won the game but we end up very tired and lost the touch and concentration again. We lost by 4 points and I only collected 4 points with 3 miss 3-point shot.

3rd match was the most exciting game of all. We manage to secure a tie at the normal time and games goes to extra time. We could have won in normal time but due to pressure our key player miss the winning free throw. In extra time, we lost again by 4 and I contributed 8 points and again missing all the 3-point shot.

4th match was a final game of round robin. Win or lost we are the bottom of the group. Nevertheless this game was close as well with us lost by 2 point. 7 points for me and finally I scored a 3-point shot, my only made for the competition so far.

Despite all the loses, we are proud that we were last not because of we played badly but we were lack of substitution and support. 2 of the youngster in our team get all the credit by being the main scorer and played non-stop without any rest through out all the matches.

The Proud PP Basketball Team

Before the Final Basketball game which did not involve PP team, there was a competition of 3-point shooting. Each team send out 2 shooter and attempt 10 3-point shot in 35 second to see how many succes score were made. My teammate and I join in and I was the first to go in. I succesfully made 4 ball with 1 point each and a money ball with 2 point each. I get a 6 point and this was enough for me to won the competition. Being waited for 3 years for this and finally I was able to crown as the king......

尽力拼个火花出来。。。

2008-08-19T14:25:00.003+08:00

再过3个小时就是一年一度的杯际赛了，篮球是这一届的最后项目。
一向来篮球不是我这队的强项，原因是很少有队友。我们要成立一队篮球队都要经历无数次的恳求一些工作伙伴来加入。一些还是基于朋友的支持，给脸说既然没有人支持你就让我来充数吧，非常感谢他们。
今年还是一样，打着只求参与，不求名次的精神参加。并不是我们不想力争上游，而是我们非常明白我们的实力到哪里。至少希望以4位还不错的球员，让我们尽力的争上决赛的一席位子吧。

懊悔的一天。

2008-08-01T12:58:00.002+08:00

昨天有了场比赛，比赛的结果让我很懊悔。

那场5人足球的比赛，对手虽然在去年打败了我们但今年他们已经输了两场，实力上看来我们还是技高一筹。果然球还是园的，上半场踢完我们就落后了2球，成绩3比1，而且主将们都没发挥出本色来，大家都有点象漏了气的球，守门员和主后卫都伤了。下半场开打不久，后卫伤得不能再踢下去，队长要我当守门员，让守门员来当后卫。当然不用多说我当了守门员。虽然这位置不是我踢惯的位置但相对之下那守门员踢后卫绝对比我来的强，权衡之下这是最佳选择。

整15分钟的下半场，我们把比数追平了，而且也反超前，比数是3比4，我们在比赛还剩下3到4分钟时取得了胜利，而且我也扑救了3个射门。比赛的最后时刻，我方攻了对方一次但出界了，对方的守门员开球，把球往敌对的11号前锋丢来。这是的后卫是站在11号的前方，有能力一跳把球清出危险地带。但球竟然没被清除而是往我方向飞来，同时11号也跑向我追着球。我把手一伸准备把球接下时，球从我手中漏出去了，弹在地上往龙门方向去。11号已经把脚一伸，轻轻的触碰把球送进了龙门。

很懊悔，实在很懊悔。努力白费了，队友的努力统统白费了。现在我深深的体会那天我对队长说的一句话。“当守门员者，无论在场上多么活跃，表现多出色，扑救了多少粒世界级的射门，只要一次的小小的失误，一定会令人大失所望。”就是我的失误让到手的3分飞了，太可惜了。。。。。

对所有的足球球会/球队的把关人物致敬。你们的功实在是太少被赞扬了。

昨夜睡了大概只有4个多小时的我，当然不能说全是因为这场比赛的失误，这只造成我失眠的20%，另外的80%是来至于半夜在我楼下清除垃圾的超级吵闹的垃圾车所造成。凌晨3点多清除垃圾也拜托能清理的稍微安静些吗？让我枯坐到天亮。。。希望这20%的感受不要再重复，也希望这80%的情景不要再发生。

misc stuff

2008-07-30T09:58:00.008+08:00

Trying to make it like a monthly reports for my personal life and working life and honestly due to no proper documentation I have to jumble up all the things. Lets make it simple and point form for read.

Things are getting cold in works. Project has done and marching to the new one which has opportunity to travel to US (Yes!!! I could possibly fulfill a dream of my there). According Boss possibly October but things can be changes till then (finger crossing).

Annual PDC cup on going. Like usual no hope put on the basketball team and things just might get worst with only possible 5 player to participate. That will convert to 40 minute game playing without subs for 4 games (of coz 4 games there wont be a slight chance to march to final unless there is hidden national player in the PP team) not even counted the possible foul out of a player making the team play with 4 players against 5 players or the opponent.

Had a team building session on a charity works. Come to think of it, the last charity works (exclude blood donation) I did was during high school with interact club and was years years back when the last I hold the pain brush.

The group for painting the house. The special cap guy was the group leader...

I am 150% concentrating on the paint due to the fact that I always almost flung my art subject in secondary school

Before and.....

After... not much different eh...

A team building is not a team building without a proper meal.....

PRQ dinner coming soon and just had a sudden team building to Mukah Head. Happen to know that within the DV group I am the sole representative for eligible bachelor. Cool! The sudden team building was to go hiking at the PG national park which i been there 2 times before and this time it has huge changes. Some building being built for office and stuff. the nature still preserve though. Here are a glance of some pic.

A dock at the entrance to the PG national park.

The trail towards the light house.

The coconut on the monkey beach.....

Our destination - the light house. Damn it was closed and we have to watch it outside of the fence.

Just come down from the light house and ready to go back.... boating of coz.

Looks who have to push the boat....

A group pic on the boat

Like I say, a team building must not exclude a good meal

Olympic is coming soon. The last I remember I had the dream to attend the Beijing 2008. Looks like I fail to fullfill the dream. I just have to stay at home and watching infront of TV pretending I am in one of the stadium there...... :(
Planning for a trip back to Kuching but usually my plan fail. Hopefully I able to make it this time.
Just notice bonus had pay out yesterday. Maybe can buy a thing for myself to keep me interest on something. Lately do found not much thing could keep me moving after gone back to my house. Is it a sign of old or I just lost interest on living for myself?
Is been a long time since I playing a PC game. Well my PC is an antique so what u expect? But this piece of antique still serve me well compare to my bro's P4 at home which had been broke down for a lot of times. Recently get hooked by this Diablo 3 just introduce to the world though it only release I think around 2010. Will get a decent system just to play that game.
Till end of the year, I think I will have 2-3 wedding dinner to attend. 1 from the colleague which will be held during weekdays. Not sure if I am willing to drive for an hour or 2 to attend the dinner with works still on the next day. 1 from primary school fren who she say will be on Oct which I might be traveling during that time (hopefully). The last one is from Uni friends at KCH on Dec which if I do not have any plans during that time I will definitely attend as I could plan a vacation as well to KCH.

I guess that sum up the month of July. Till the next monthly report.....

Opps... 看来我忘了我该用华语来写这部落格。看来我是懒惰拼音了。

Food for share

2008-06-03T09:12:00.003+08:00

Just thought to share some food I find nice that I had over the weekend, well is more like a snack actually. I dont know how it should call but lets name it Tempura Local Style (TLS for short).

This stall located at GreenLane, easier ways to give direction to the stall is along GreenLane there is a McD restaurant next to a Shell petrol station. Along the junction turn into McD restaurant and goes straight down before reaching a roundabout you will see a "tempura" stall with hot wok and oil on your right hand side. That's it.

What is selling? Deep fried stuff like fried banana's, tapioca, sweet potato, yam, green peas (you might wonder what but later let me try to explain) and is hard for me to describe this but in hockien it called "Ti Kueh", mandarin is "年糕", direct translate is "sweet cake". Something that we always see during chinese new year that it is sticky and sweet and used to contain in a bamboo casing. All this thing will be coated with paste of flour and deep fried.

They are famous with there "Ti Kueh" which they sandwiched the slice "Ti Kueh" with sweet potatoes and yam. It is good but I am not the fans of it. I prefer their Green Peas, bananas, kuih kolok and their sweet potatoes. Let me explain Green Peas for you guys. It is similar to soy bean and red bean but is much much smaller size and green in color. I think they grinded the beans and make a paste before they deep fried.

The Green Pea deep fried.

Another look of the Mysterious Green Pea

I am so in love with its Kueh Kolok which I have totaly no idea what "kolok" means in BM. I could describe the food as roundish, dark chocolate color like and banana tasty. It is soft and a bit chewy. Too bad last weekend when I was there it is not ready yet. So I take another cousin of Kueh Kolok on the deep fried banana.

The Deep Fried Banana.

What I found special about the stall is that the cook will deep fried the food/fruit twice. What I use to see is the cook normally fried it once only. I think this make the "Tempura" taste cruchier.

Karipap anyone?

Nice reddish hot filling inside the Karipap

Special tip passdown by the stall owner

Speaking of this I recall that day when I was there with friends to buy the "tempura" I have done my choice and payed but my friend still waiting for the "Tee Kueh" that in on frying. I am tempted with the Kueh Kolok and Green Peas so I took one of each on the spot, it taste so good that I finish half of my first bought of Kueh Kolok and Green Peas. So I reloaded and keep saying damn is good loudly. I guess this cheer up the boss and he pass down this tip to me.

If you buying such tempura hot from the wok for a take away (BTW there they no serve table nor drinks, all take away), do not wrap them as such. The heat from the food will vaporize the water then condense to water droplet around the plastic and will fall to the food soften the crunchy outer layer. Make the food taste less delicious.

No, jangan, da-me, 不要, mai

Leave it open, eventually it will get cold but still you get the crunchy taste.

链。。。。。

2008-05-27T13:33:00.013+08:00

我本身带着一条链。一条白银链挂着一个盾型的链牌，牌上刻着的是我的名字，一个老爸基于要给孩子的将来更顺利而请了姓名学家改了的名字。

这链我带了好几年，老爸在那一年帮了我们三兄弟妹都改了名字而每个人都有一条。至今我觉得仅是我还戴着它。今天让我想围绕着这个链而写些东西的是因为最近我又差点失去了他。

影像中如此的经验只有三次。第一次是在念大学时和朋友到Bako国家公园玩时差点就留在公园的宿舍里。当时在收拾好东西正要上船时突然手往胸口上一拍，触摸不到那盾牌的感觉，仔细找找发现链已经不再挂在我身上。船就要开了，由于船是要从海边开进河口才到达我们上巴士的地方回家的地方，需要靠海潮，迟了海潮太大或退潮时就不能开船了就得等到下午才能回，巴士不可能等到下午。我和朋友们说给我五分钟，也不等他们说ok我就往宿舍方向跑去。路程大概有个300米从码头到宿舍登记处，直接的问了锁匙然后往宿舍跑去。一开门望窗边看去，我的链就挂在哪。没时间给个高兴或什么的心情抓了链就往码头的方向跑去。还好就是船还没开，他们还够朋友的再等我。我们也顺利的回到上巴士的地方。

我的链。不是什么贵重东西但对我有某种意义。

第二次发生是在可以说是最近，是在打球时。打球是我都会把链脱下，这是除了睡觉之外唯一链会不在我身上的时候。那天打完了球也许是忘了我把链脱下了，拿起了车匙就走了。回到家大概晚上九点多才发现身上少了什么的，那时才知道链不见了。我想都不想就知道是应该遗留在球场上了。第二天上班时就先到球场上找找，但看遍了球场都找不到。这时开始有点慌了和觉得不可能吧，我该不会掉在别的地方和没人要偷这个不值钱的链吧。上班时我就想说几封email给那几个不是说很熟的朋友看看他们是否有看见。果然又以为我知道他的名且应为他在篮球比赛中夺得了“三分王”而让我羡慕且妒嫉的朋友帮我保管了。那天下午就找他拿回我认为贵重的链并谢谢他帮我保管。

以另一种方式来看我的链。

第三次也是最近最近一次，而且事隔第二次才不到一两个月，又一次的在同样一个球场上再一次的忘了带回我的链。这一次是发生在星期六早上，难得我早些醒到球场打球，到了球场上早已有了一个人在打球，我就加入了他打打球。过后他的朋友来了在场上打起排球来，为了不让彼此有不必要的阻碍我就坐着看他们打了一下然后就走了。那天我还心血来潮的想到市中心吃面，就去市中心了。到了哪，就发现有些不对了。在一次的我往胸口排去，然后就懂了。我想时间还早，就算那班人发现了我的链想为我保管，时间还早他们该还不会回去吧。我走时他们还在尽兴的打球中。不管了先吃饱了再说。吃饱后就有点飚车似的回到球场，果然那班人还没回但也没发现我的链，就拿了就走。

底片模式下的链。

这条链虽非价值不菲，但其意义对我来说是老爸关心我的一个标示。他希望我们前程而他所相信的一个方式。希望最低限度我能像每次那样能找回它，不会失去它。

A word I found meaningful today

2008-05-23T08:05:00.003+08:00

"給活人送一朵鮮花，強過給死人送貴重的花圈"
"Give those living a fresh flower is much more better than giving those departed an expensive bouquet"

Thanks to a friends email stating this word in between the article that I find interesting and meaningful.
I personally found that on the funeral those plat, flower bouquet showing respect to the departed is worthless as it does not bring any meaning to the departed or his/her close family. If wanted to show you care then why show it after the person can't feel your care?
To those who happen to visit my little place here, let your friend, family or person you care that you care for them, treat them good and don't do it when they can't feel it.

Maxed Time Wasting....

2008-05-12T13:14:00.004+08:00

I must be on fire today since I posted 2 blog in 1 day.

Happened approximately 5 Hours ago where I started my normal work, checking mail, checking data, compile data, take coffee, take breakfast and gone to lab. As I sit on an empty tester (empty means no test running, no one log on to, no unit on the test head) send IM to my boss saying I want to use this tester and help to allocate the tester to me. Our tester in the lab is very hot and famous that we need our boss to collaborate and assign to their respective subordinates who needed. So I start loaded the testprogram through another software that I had modified the testprogram and inputs files needed which is the first time I modified the input files for my own use and which I had tested last week that it works. I intend to collect some data and shorten the test time so that the overall procedure is clear and easy enough for the technician to help me run the test. So it was on the loading process.

It tooks quite sometimes for the loading so I wonder around into my own world where I check out some comics, some BBS, some news, NBA playoff results (sad that Hornet lost for 20 points in Game 4) etc. The testprogram will load for like 2 Hours before we could start the testing. Right when the testprogram are done loading to the tester and the monitor shows that you may put your unit in and start testing, here comes the bad news..... "pop" lab lights blinks and a part of the lab was in dark. Tester monitor turn off and a deadly silent environment. Usually the lab is full of noice of fans blowing to keep the tester cool and others. Now is deadly silent. 2 seconds and the lab is back with light but the monitor still off and no more deadly silent but you can hear people cursing (one of them is me). Is power surge.

"Damn!!!, WTF, S***, no..... Arghhh!!!"

The conciato of curse and depression sounded in the lab plays by PDE of SDM_Penang. Lab technician checked and confirm is power surge. Need to wait for 15 to 20 minute according the handbook of such situation to prevent the second power surge that could potentially damage the tester if the tester is bring back to action now. Nothing can do but wait and after 15 minutes, tester was bring back online and no I still cant use it yet. Why? Because the technician need to perform a check on the tester to make sure they are in good condition. Ok no problem I can hang on to it. At this time, my boss give me a call and say I have to release the tester to other team as they have a higher priority works to do. There goes my whole day works.

So what I do? get out from tester, get out from lab, go for lunch and then nothing else.....
The only things now is I posted this blog to share my feeling here. It so time wasting till the MAX where the time taken hours to load the testprogram and finally I can start testing, I get kick off from a days work. Well is an experience of such, I wont be that piss if I was half way loading the testprogram. My feeling is just like I am putting a juicy drumstick in my mouth and just as I want to take a bite, some one just took the drumstick away. So sian.....

Bike Riding to work

2008-05-12T10:25:00.006+08:00

Last weekend I went back to my home with my faithful trusted car that always carry me around wherever I wish to go. Usually I would back to PG with it as well but this time I revert back to the high school time that I come back to PG with a bike.

For people at my age and those younger groups would think that "Bike!? So dangerous and not cover. Is like riding on a metal naked beast when on the road." That I believe is what most people think about bike now speacially after the Malaysia infamous motorcycle stunt group called the "MatRempit".

Despite all this still I never abandon the joy of riding. I mean yes with expose to the sun, dust and debris bring up from the truck and buses, no protection around the body and the only place that bikers has are the helmet still what I enjoy the most of bike riding is the breeze when riding. It is different from the AC of a car, for me I feel is more natural. Of cause what I am saying here is smart riding that not asking you to follow behind an "octopus" busses, trucks and others.

This morning I had my ride to work and normally with my car I take about 15 - 20 minutes to reach despite all the traffic light. Dont ask me why I did not include the traffic jam and that is because I come to work very early. I am very very proud of that.... Back to the bike thing, I just took 5 minute and reach office. How nice that was.

Anyway I feel free with Bikes speacially on the heavy car traffic around PG. Free like a bird that I can go around places easily. I use to be once I at home I wont come out from home at PG but now I think I can relaxingly go home then come out for dinner or something. I can roam to downtown and stop by any hawker food centre without wasting time in looking for parking spaces for car now.

Of cause I do worry about several things with bikes. Weather will be the major problem I would say. I dont mind to get wet as I kind of miss that feeling that get wet in the rain but I more worry about if my laptop will get wet and spoil. That is one thing I dont like. Second of all I had to be in the lab sometimes and due to company rules that handphone with camera are not allowed to be in the lab. I usually put them in my car but now I take bike I dont have places to keep my phone.

Anyway I believe I will still enjoy the ride of bike here.

P/S 1: so ngam I ride my bike to PG and a fren that I admire ask for my help for a ride. Due to unsafety of the ride can cause to other I turn her down.......
P/S2: Kind of like a bad start I broke the face shield of the helmet in less than 3 hour of my ride on bike already. The contact between the shield and the lid is broken.... bad start.... hopefully good ending.

Have you face this kind of situation b4?

2008-04-15T09:28:00.003+08:00

How are your day at work today?
Being busy, pack with meeting, project to handle, assignment to be present, etc etc...
same question address to me yesterday and today and I will answer that I am damn free.

Is been 2 days that I have be doing nothing. Usually every morning I came to work I will perform the normal routine which is take my coffee surf my personal mail, check out some soccer/NBA results, manage a web game and start my work which I know what I will be having for the rest of the day. I get it prepare and by end of the day I get it done.

For the last 2 days I came to office and sit and again I perform the routine but this time I have to repeat it till the end of day. I have totally nothing on hands now. Guys/Gals dont be scolding me that it is good as work less get payed which I initially thought that as well but by only a few hour I start feeling uncomfortable. Man! Focal just passed and I am free? What about the next year? (maybe I am thinking too far)

I have to calm myself with giving some not so make sense type of excuses like I have been working hard for the last few month and now GOD is making me rest. Thanks GOD but can you make me rest somewhere else but in office?

Here is the breakdown of what I did yesterday....

730-830 Reach Office, My Normal Routine
830-930 Breakfast with colleague who seems free
930-1200 Starring at outlook, try to search any left out work or follow up work, look at calender any boring meeting that I can attend, surf surf and surf.
1200-1330 Lunch time and try to kill time at the club house reading news paper.
1330-1530 Starring on the laptop questioning why when I am busy there is tonnes of meeting to attend and now I am free all the meeting is gone, start fantasizing "shall I go home now" since 1400, Looking at IM and seeing frens with busy status, tea-time break (something I had only during the first few week of me joining the company and during my business trip)
1530-1730 Surf up all the web I had in "Favourite", checking bank balance, checking credit balance, surfing anime, youtube, "online windows shopping", reading friends blog,
1730 Pack up and chao....

Anyone want my job? is damn free and damn ez now.....

又到三月起薪时。

2008-03-25T13:53:00.002+08:00

三月了，实时候拿review的时候了。
打从年头开始老板就已经放话说别期望太高，今年照老板级人马的风声说，虽然年尾的花红看来应该会有大笔钱来让员工们的薪水价高，但其实全球的经济不理想等等的一大堆废话后，加薪的钱因该不会多。
那天老板和我开个1：1，还没开始老板就问我今年听到什么消息？我照实从同时口中传来传去的道听途说的小八卦告知老板。什么今年没有SMA（调薪），加薪也只有1个位数。老板只是笑了笑就把那张纸从信封中拿了出来放在桌上。
老板开始其正常的过程，和我解说我去年的表现，长处和要改进的地方。这一段时间我大概就是左耳进右耳出。来到了真正我关心的地方就是看今年工作的成功度。我们有5个等级，outstanding, exceed expectation, succesful, below expectation, improvement required。看了那张纸，我尽然得到的是和去年一样的等级。也好啦，虽然我觉得该是比去年高一级的。
接下来当然是看看$的部分啦。该有至少是和去年的一样吧，这样我就满意了。看下去，尽然是比去年的少很多。去年我可有2位数，现在只有1个位数。老板也许是看到了我的脸色有点不好看就赶快的开始了其解释。什么今年不能和去年相比啦，今年前较少啦，这个数字是和几年前的数字是一样的等等。这时的我也不是很出奇，原因是之前就听到一大群人说什么拿1个位数，现在只是证明说我是这一群人当中的而已。
拿完那review后当然少不了同事过来问长问短，查查看是否我拿得比他们多之类的。发现到尽然有人比我拿得少，而且他工作资历比我多比我好（个人觉得）。那天和他共餐时他提起这事，他说在这个group中只有3个人需要经历着一次的review，另外两个人是信任，所以应该有足够的钱来给我们但为什么我们只能拿到这区区的这么少？我无言以对，因为我不知道这是整么做的。
现在能怎么？换工？外头市场好吗？好像不会。别家公司也差不多起薪也很少。我应该不会如此吧，再说今年还是有可能出国，而且失去美国，忍耐些吧。为人打工是这样的了。

多谢了朋友们。祝我自己生日快乐。。。。。。。也祝她生日快乐，永远快乐。。。。。

新的一年，新的留言，坏的发泄。A new year, A new blog, A frustrated release

2008-01-11T22:00:00.000+08:00

新的一年了，虽然已经过了将近两个星期但也算是新年了。

新的一年的二个星期五就被逼留下来做工。如今时间是大马时间晚上10时03分，今天好像已经工作超过了12个小时。而且没有OT好补偿，还好我老板，也就是我的新老板（本人已经跳到同公司里的另一个部门）是个好人。我相信今天所超出的工作时间和昨天放假我也被叫近来工作的时间以假期补偿会给我，这样我就可以省了一天念家。刚好农历新年也快到了，是时候用它了。

今天留下来是为了支缓印度的同事的试验。这试验已经弄了将近1个月，还搞不出什么名堂来。马来西亚的协助到最后试验结果不等如他们期待的结果，叫了美国的帮忙，结果还不是一样，和马来西亚的没什么分别。在美国同事的帮忙前还想口口声声得想来本地的实验搞错了。现在美国那方面也同样取得一样的结果，印度的同事就像狗那样安静的不出声。我好歹都在印度当地支缓了两个多月，开始时都不觉得他们会如此的小人，现在越来越对他们的要求感到厌倦，感到烦。弄了两个多月，作了三四粒的试验体，两个国家所作出来的结果一模一样，那证明了什么？证明了启发这试验的队员弄错了某一部分的试验。那是谁？是印度的同事们。认个错真的那么难吗？

边写着这片留言，我还看着那试验结果，还是一模一样的失败。迟些还要让给那些同事们去慢慢体验着挫败感。不写了。。。。这失败的结果弄得我也很懒。让你们去看看你们所弄出来的成果吧。

年尾了，新的一年又到了。Year is ending, a new year emerging.

2007-12-18T22:48:00.000+08:00

我身在邦戈罗，坐在旅馆房间的客厅中。刚吃饱饭，看着电视，享受这片刻的宁静。还有一个星期左右就要迎接新的一年了，难以置信的是我竟会人在国外，虽然我该会在12月30号回到马来西亚。

新的一年当然少不了新年誓言，新的期望，新的目标。我虽然不是年年都对新的一年都许下一个期望，定下一个目标，但根据我的记忆中所记录下的一切，从来没有一个愿望实现，没有一个目标达成。太可笑了吧！既然如此为何今年又许个愿望，定下目标呢？某个伟人说人没有目标就没有人生，没有愿望就对生活没期待。我对我至今的人生真的有小许失望，我不想继续如此，我要打破人生的僵局。

先定下目标吧。新的一年，我要更稳定的经济状况。说实在的，现况的我实在是可以用4个字来形容-入不敷出。想象不到吧，对我的朋友来说也许看不出，但我自己可真的发现到我是归于这一类型的社会人。工作了3年，普通人都觉得这个人照常理来说该有多多少少几千块钱的积储吧。我可不是，而且还欠债累累。也许欠债累累听起来挺吓人的但我可是欠了不少钱。别担心，欠的可是卡债和大学的学费债。这些债我可是还有能力还，只要我肯省吃省用（可是我好像好些虚荣的东西。。。）。令我深思自己经济状况的是启发与两个现象，朋友和数字。数字是最近弄了个excel来算算看我的入与出。竟然让我发现我一天只该有的花费是如此的低，而且是全部薪水花完的哪一种计算。这对我来说是一大惊讶。回头看看之前的我，吃好的用好的，这样下去我可不行，未来没保障啊。

看看自己合同期的朋友们，我就显得经济能力极差的一位。一个满要好的朋友有一天再msn谈天时发现到他在股票市场上亏了7千多块马币。你也许看到的是怎么这么笨亏了这么多，但我看到的是他尽然有7千多块马币来亏，我呢？对我那朋友是比我聪明，比我能干，得到的工资比我多一些，那我因该不会比他差那么多吧。我也该有能力亏个2千到3千左右吧，很可惜我不能。另几位朋友都有能力结婚了，开始步进人生的另一阶段。我又想过靠我现在的能力仅仅能维持我一人的生活，别想说养另一半了。所以说新的一年我要该头换面，变成一个节俭的我。不再上贵餐馆，不买贵货品，能省就要省，把自己打造成一个经济能力稳固的聪明人。

目标定了，愿望我可就没什么愿望。只希望工作顺利，爸妈健康，弟妹不必让我太担心那就好了。和愿她一切顺利。

既然年已接近尾声，住我和各位朋友Merry X'mas and Happy New Year!大家向前望吧！

My 2nd Trip to Bangalore soon

2007-10-29T12:46:00.000+08:00

As per plan by my manager, I will be going to Bangalore for the 2nd time to support the project and now I am acctually at Bangalore now.

I dont know why I am here actually because before I came I talk to my manager about my concern. I was to help to test at PG and for me being at Bangalore it was not impossible to do but it will cost a lot of time in testing as remote testing is a bit troublesome. I see that the manager from Bangalore wants me here is to help on another task as well but again I do strongly believe that the folks at Bangalore had it in their hands. They are work up for that task and want me as a safety net? That still workable if I am at PG.

I think if I keep talking I will find a couple more reason or excuses for it but that does not kill the fact that I am here at Bangalore physically already. I must change the attitude which I am close to the state now. 既来之则安之。。。。。

Already for the weeks I am here and still I kind of wake up around 6am Bangalore time which is am PG. Looks like jet lag can kill me. Another thing that surprise me is that I dream of her on the 1st or 2nd day when i am here. Kind of miss her. Everytime I went shopping for souvenior I am trying to get something for her more. Looks like I am into something something.

Food & Drinks

opener...

Well if you read my blog alot you should notice that i like to use Chinese to write but due to i am in office now and i am too lazy to use the Chinese so i use English. But i guess you should enjoy it too.

Bangalore Best Food Guide

Leela Palace - Citrus

Leela Palace - 6 star hotel (plp say it was 6 and not 5 because there is plp in the toilet to help you "wee wee" so there goes the extra 1 star on top of it) right across Intel Building. you can acctually see it from a manager's cube and he told me he been dream to stay there for 1 night since he works in Intel. Too bad he is not staying there as the price per night was ~USD360. But I believe he was able to pay that bill.

Been having my first lunch in Bangalore at one of the hotel restaurant - Citrus and shockingly cost me a lot of penny. The most expensive lunch I ever had. Took me 2000 ruppee. Money aside lets talk food. Variety of international cuisine and categorize to vege and non-vege. Saw quite some exortic food like Sashimi (fish is hard to get at Bangalore), Blue Cheese, Lobster Soup and others. Serve with wine, some liquor, drinks, coffee, desert and dont forget a jazz band made of 3 beautiful lady. You think it worth? then can experience the high class environment to eat there. Oh ya Leela have 2 other restaurant there one call Zen (Japanese food and again cost you 2000 ruppee ~RM170 for lunch) and another is indian food and I believe the price is similar.

A lobster soup - taste like feet to me.
Cup of capucino.
Chocolately rich covered dry food and mush mallow.
Mr Alvin (left) and Mak. Thanks for the first exotic lunch on my first trip to Bangalore.

Here is the receipt prove to see the price.

BBQ Nation

For thos who like BBQ and eat a lot here is a good place for you. Situated not far from Intel as well. Approximate 10 minutes walk from Intel, right opposite Mainland China (one good chinese restaurant at Bangalore). Serve lunch and dinner. Cost you 450 ruppee exclude drinks.

If you think that the main course is the BBQ then you are as wrong as me when I first walk into BBQ Nation. BBQ was acctually just its starter. Yup you not seeing it wrongly it is just starter. they serve you with BBQ stick with chicken, fish, prawns, vege and let you BBQ just like what show in the picture. Then it has the main course like the rice, curry, soup, desert to choose from the table. It is different then what you have in mind that it serve you with thousand kind of BBQ food but acctually it serve 5-6 kind of BBQ, others are normal rice and food. Though you might say this you call a BBQ restaurant? but you cant deny the BBQ station there. Is the BBQ environment you enjoy in here and if you want to be picky about it, I would say is just put on the heated charcoal and heat up the food. Good place for plp who want to have an all you can eat type of food.

There goes our BBQ..

This is me having bite from the BBQ. Taste not bad you know.

Tandoor

Ah..... the Tandoor house. Located at MG (Mahatma Gandhi) Road, one of the busiest road in Bangalore. Get to know this place well before I reach Bangalore. Heard of it from those who went business or relo there before and is highly recommended. So I cant miss it right?

Food is very very good. Price cost like 1600 ruppee for 4 person meal. The meal consist of 2 meat and 1 vege or 2 vege i cant recall. Highly recommend for Indian cuisine. The Tandoori Chicken is a must order meal. Else you will regret for the rest of your life that is if you are not back to Bangalore again. hehehe. :)

Menu for the Tandoor house

This is kind of a starter or source to go with your food. See the onion? that is a good tast onion.

Snap shot of the meal we have. Let me recall Mutton Briyani, Tandoor Chicken on top left, another mutton below the spoon and some Vege cover by the pile of Briyani. Yum.....

Indie Joe

Indie Joe (not Indiana Jones) fusion restaurant mainly on western food. Famous for their Pasta (according the captain there) and I found it good for most of the food. Average cost I spend there was around 400-600 Ruppee include drinks. Their sizzling plate was nice and will full up your stomouch. Nice place to go for a meal or a drink.

Me having my Pizza at Indie Joe. Good Environment here.

Mailand China

Mainland China - good Chinese Food. Save me when I start thinking of chinese food. According one of the bill board on the road site and an article in local news paper Mainland China serve the best chinese food in Bangalore. You really feel good when you step into the restaurant with its interior design with a little touch of chinese. Serve chinese food from noodles to rice. Steam fish, vege, braised duck, although is not all chinese food have there but it was enough to make you stop thinking of chinese food back home. Reasonable price, good food, specially recommend the braised duck from myself. It worth going and you will like it.

Drinks serve in Mainland China. What a colorful world this is.
Guess what I am having. Looks like fish ball eh..... haha. Is acctually Lychee Toffee. Is a desert.

Corner House (Ice Cream Specialist)

Corner House - Let me tell you 1 thing, this is the thing that I miss out most after I back to Malaysia. Their ice cream is damn good. My personal thought and describe for it is, the ice cream is milky and soft, the toppings and cream bring out the freshness of the ice cream and dress the ice cream nicely. It is kind of like Baskin Robbins or Hagen Dazz but in a lower price. Cost you around range from 45-100 ruppee and you can deep yourself into the ice cream fantasy.

The Corner House logo.

Almond Fudge. Look how many almonds in there and the dark chocolate is coated under the white Vanilla. This is call the Dry Fruit something. Taste good but not as good as the Almond Fudge..... arrgh who can bring me one now!

Barista Cafe

Surprisingly you wont find any Starbucks or Coffee Bean around Bangalore. Want a sip of coffee lets go Barista baby. Here it is just like Starbucks or Coffee Bean back home. Good coffee pricey food. Well for a coffee guy like me, I am rather enjoy it.

A Cup of something coffee. I cant recall but looks nice and taste good.Here is the top view for the same coffee above
My call of food. I forget what it call but for sure is pasta. Taste alright but a bit pricey for a small plate. Anyway I am here to drink and taste the athmosphere, food is not the main attraction.
Lagsagna ordered by a fren. Looks cool and comment by him, not bad.

Samarkand (Best of the best)

Here comes the best food I rated in Bangalore...... Samarkand. Cautesy of RamP a tough guy in Intel Bangalore that introduce us to this restaurant. Here it is still Indian food but I think fuse with a bit of Iranian style I think (dont trust me as I am not a great food taster I just judge base on their style and what stated on the menu). Great Chicken something that serve on a sword, taste quite the same as tandoori chicken. Great mutton Briyani, it was damn surprise when the waiter serve the briyani on a bowl type of thing and when open out it was white??? white??? I was thinking and when he start serving the rice..... damn the aroma is damn damn damn good and the mutton was tender. Another dish is the potato type with heavy curry gravy. That too was like heavenly food. Compare to Tandoor house, here is cheaper and I personally edge to Samarkand more than Tandoor. To get here is a longer ride, is around Safina plaza and the street I call it "black street" as there is a lot of souveniour shop and many people come and greet you "fren come, come, what you need or what you want to buy, we have it". Lets back to the food among all restaurant I would say this is a must come places. Oh ya and something to add on, they provide fork and spoon but really you got to try with your finger and that make the food taste even better.

Exterior of the restaurant
The famous Chicken something (chicken on the sword) and the mutton briyani
This is not a deco on the table but this is acctually a appetizer call bread stick. Goes with milky cheese.

Here is a simple dish for 4. Taste good, cheaper price. To sum up, Grrrreeeaaaat place.

This is me with the Chicken something.

This is kind of sweets after meal. Almost all the indian restaurant serve this after you are done with the meal.

Bangalore之旅前的心情

2007-09-07T14:26:00.000+08:00

明天将会是我第一次出差到国外工作。
今天9月7日，星期五，外头家乡的天气不会很热，风刮得还蛮大的。
下午2点半，不必上班。拿了一天假，收拾好行李和心情，为明天之旅做好准备。
如今坐在这咖啡厅，写着当今的心情与期盼。

行李大致上都收拾好了，心情没什么大变化。从同事与朋友口中认知了一些关于Bangalore的点点滴滴，负面的资料虽然比正面的多，比如说晚上没什么东西好玩，人超多的，食物与水很不清洁等等的，心中可真地对此之旅有着特定的期待。有机会到另一个国家，而且是印度。人力最便宜，很多软件高手，经济上对马来西亚具有威胁力的国家。看看世界增广见闻还是一件不可多得的事，更何况是公司给钱的，何乐而不为。

此旅将会去足3个星期，该会看到很多东西和新鲜的事务。相机是不可缺少了，致那些有留意此blog的朋友（我想改很少吧），请期待我post上一些照片。

不多谈了，下一次动“键盘”将会是在Bangalore。

PG Bridge Marathon

2007-08-13T11:12:00.000+08:00

PG Bridge Marathon

过去的PG Bridge Marathon是我第二次参加的比赛。

第一次是去年被爸叫去参加的。跑完第一次觉得还蛮新鲜的，今年决定在参加。理由有二：

去年被老爸爬头，我根本不知道。到达终点时还暗暗自喜，当看到爸从某处出来时眼球简直是掉了出来。我要从心来过。

觉得还蛮好玩的，4am开始起跑。一年中没多少次会一大早其身跑个20多km的吧。

今年再度出战，我有了一个计划。就是决定跟在老爸后面，他停我就停，他跑我也跑。快到重点是凭我的年轻力胜应该可以来个短距离冲刺，因而获胜。哇哈哈哈哈！（够奸诈吧！）

人算不如天算，我只会计划而没有去练习跑步什么的，当天又在一次惨败在爸的脚下。明年再来吧！

脚起了水泡。好疼！

战袍和号码。。。

纯友谊

2007-06-18T13:15:00.000+08:00

取于朋友寄来的一封email

我现在才知道原来一个男人对一个女人好，可以完全不包含爱慕的元素在当中。他对你特别的好，原来只是把你当成好朋友。他频密地约会你，可以只是为了打发时间。如果用女人对待男人的心态去同样看待男人对待女人的心态，是注定要受到伤害的。
男人对女人好，只是要展现他的风度，认为女人应该被保护和照顾。他对她表现得特别热切，也许是早已把她归类成不分男女的死党。但是女人不同，唯有在她爱上一个男人的时候，她才能够对他展示少有的温柔和殷勤。
如果男女的这一点区别不被意识到，必须造成许多不必要的误会。有男性朋友投诉他们和女性交往总是需要刻意保持一定的距离，就是所谓的君子之交淡如水。如果交情再进一步，女方往往误以为男方有追求她的意思，女人的过敏总是成为异性纯友谊的阻挠。另一边厢，女性常在有意无意间和男性朋友保持某程度的距离，除了是一种自我保护外，女性较在意她与男性朋友的态度亲昵会招来闲话，流言蜚语对女性来说是极大的困扰。另外，女人知道自己生性较容易动情，所以她们会克制不让自己的感情放任在不可能的人身上，这种想法自然会表现在外在的行为上，这也是为什么当男女的交情来到某一程度时，男性往往会感受到女性朋友忽然变得冷淡了。
我曾经以为自己可以逃过这种定律，然而还是失败了。我们一开始就说好保持纯友谊的交往，他相信我不会如一般女性那般过敏，我们可以很坦然地交往。我也十分清楚男人对女人的好可以是完全出于朋友的立场。我自持对男性有几分的了解，也高估了自己控制情感的能力，竟然没有为这份友谊的发展设下一道界限。原来在长期又频密的交往中，感情会在不知不觉中产生。而当我发现时，却已是没有能力去遏止这种情感的滋长。我处在两难之间，要退后一步来划清界线，抑或鼓起勇气越过朋友的界线？我知道自己已不能再回到当初的样子了，因我的感情起了变化而从此失掉了一段纯纯的友谊。
我想，异性之间的交往如果只是希望永远都维持纯友谊的关系，还是需要保持某程度的距离。毫无界限的异性交往会令情感发展到一发不可收拾的地步。当然，如果进展成两情相悦固然是美事，然而较多时候会演变成一厢情愿。男人有时候想对女性朋友呵护备至，却变成了无心的伤害。女人常被男人呵护得心花怒放，到后来才知道原来对方只当自己是朋友，他自己另有喜欢的对象，最令人痛心的误会莫过于此。即使大家早已意识到异性交往的这点区别，也不能掉以轻心，以为自己有足够的理智去妥善处理男女关系，到最后才发现原来头脑上的知识和实际的应用是两回事，那时已为时已晚。
如果真的想要好好保持一段纯友谊的关系，一开始就要表明朋友的立场，以免将来引申出不必要的误会。当两人靠得太近时，其中一方或双方要及时后退一步，这样才能够运用理智来把两人的关系看个清楚。两个人贴得太近，往往看不清事情的全貌，削弱了原有的判断能力。君子之交，有时是一种安全的异性交往态度。

我的心情是在于第4段的最后几句。。。。

Bored till hell

2007-05-14T10:29:00.000+08:00

Damn I am bored!
Facing all the works and no rest, facing all the city's traffic, human, concrete, factory, testers, computers...... I am tired of all this thing. Working is the worst that in all of this. Feeling being left out of information, feeling being left behind, fighting the war alone. Who you think i am Rambo?

好闷啊！
工作再工作，没什么时间休息。面对着这小岛中的烦人交通，无情的城市人，乌烟瘴气的工厂，无生命的机械，不会沟通的电脑。。。。我真得累了。工作从有趣现在变得无趣。感觉上我被隔离了，与工作上的资讯隔离了。感觉被遗弃，独自作战。你们可把我当作是“ranbo"吗？

I need to get out of the city. I want fresh air, cool breeze, tall tree, mountain, beaches, creek, waterfall, fishes, birds, animals whatever that is natural, green and leave no pressure on my brain.

我要逃离这钢骨囚牢。我邀清新空气，冷风，高树，高山，海滩，小溪，瀑布，鱼儿，飞鸟，动物。只要是自然的，绿油油的，不会让我脑袋再承受压力的。

昨天的晚餐。。。

2007-03-12T16:47:00.000+08:00

昨天和一位旧朋友聚餐。
一位女性朋友。
很久没看见她，都忘了她的长相。还好她说她还记得我长得怎样，就这样被她认了出来。
不知为什么，感觉上她很好看，有点吸引我。打扮一切都很吸引我。还一度的我只静静的看着她的脸颊。
一起共餐，还不错的晚餐。难得约了她出来而且让我眼前一亮的。很可惜不知她有了男朋友了没。但觉得她不会喜欢我这类型吧，但没试过不知道。
还是觉得不需要尝试吧，她月我出来目的其一是聚会，其二是介绍我作传销（network marketing)。不懂什么来的。
我对这些直销，保险什么的都没什么反感，本身直觉是我做不成这类东西的但去增加知识也无妨。
就和他约了下周六去看看有什么好介绍的。

独眼侠客。

2007-03-04T15:41:00.000+08:00

过了好久才再上来写blog.
今天是元宵节，祝大家新年快乐，农历情人节快乐。

这个新年我可有个不是太好的事发生在我身上。忘了是初四或初五的时候和同事去大羽球。我这羽球菜鸟尽然被一位女同事一击不是很大力的抽射直接打中我的左眼球。我也不知真么搞的，明明看见那球往我眼球飞射而来，我尽然不闪躲也不闭上眼睛，就这样让求直中我眼球。

还以为这只是普通的眼睛会红肿之类的症状但过了一两天眼睛还是红肿。感觉不大对劲，还是去看看医生好了。普通医生听了我解释来龙去脉后尽然建议我去看专科。到了专科医院后，医生用了好酷的仪器来检查后说我左眼睛内有出血，建议我留院观察。一阵的鸦雀无声后，我反驳了医生的建议。基于有太多的工作等着我。医生说不留院也可以但绝对不可有太多的运动与走动，就这样的开了一张4天的MC给我。上班是我把MC交给了我老板，但那4天我还是得来上班。不是老板叫我不可休息但是我没办法放下手头上的工作。现在不做，4天后那堆工作会更多更难。

此事让我发现了一个很重要的东西。如今我工作上的事务是没有人能顶替我。不是不能但是不能在短期内70%的胜任我的工作。很想对老板说，快找个人来至少能顶替我40%的工作吧。否则倒是我拿假时怎么办，我突然辞职又怎么办。

新年快乐

2007-02-15T18:18:00.001+08:00

没什么的。
只想说

“新年快乐”！

简单的祝福给所有部落格。

WW4周末的总结-->Saturday

2007-01-29T08:10:00.000+08:00

一早起身就呆在阳台，享受早晨的清风与温和的阳光。本以为早起没有好处的我突然起了个这样满享受的感觉。阳光照着槟威大桥下的海，轻轻的反射在我眼中。飞机轻轻画出条飞机云于一片云蓝色的丝布，今天得好好享受一下了。但过了不久那热气开始侵袭我了，还是赶快去清洗一番吧。

一大早起身除了享受以上的美好时光外，对我来说好像没什么好处了。洗刷完毕后才9点不到，看看房间还真得有点肮脏就清理些吧。清理完毕，比清理前虽然只是干净了一点点但好过没有。时钟才显示了9点半，又得想个东西来打发时间了。还是开电脑吧。除了bt download，surf网站之外又好像没东西玩了。尝试开开黄易online看看吧。自从那次台湾地震震坏了海底电缆后到现在都没有试试上去了，想不到竟然上到了。终于知道一整天的节目是什么了-打game!

午餐时间到附近的超市找吃，顺便办点年货。做工了好歹也要做个类似孝顺的儿子，岁月提醒了我说我不再是十七八岁，可以奉年就两手空空的回家过年。买了一些面包就当午餐吧，反正晚餐和朋友约了去吃火窝。想起上个星期花了好多力气于运动上，今天应该吃些好料了吧，哇哈哈哈哈！

人算不如天算，朋友来了个电话。。。
“喂，今晚去不成了！”
“why!?谁又放飞机啊？”
“两个，这次不是我哦！哈哈。还是你，我和我老婆去吃火窝，别理他们。”
“才不要，看你们两个亲亲我我，我还需要吃的？饱死了那时。算了吧，下次再gather过好了。”

结果就跑到mamak打包mamak饭，在家继续看戏，打game。

家人在10点左右来了通电话。爸说今天是妈的农历生日，要我向妈说生日快乐。妈对我说爸今天从楼梯跌了下来。登时世界黑了，冷了。我叫妈把电话交给爸，问了他怎样还好吗?没什么大事吗？有没有摔伤哪里？爸说没什么大碍，只是擦换电灯管时从楼梯跌倒了床上，爸还说刚刚还去跑步了，没有什么伤痛，叫我别担心。此时的我已经鼻头酸酸了，喉头也有点卡助，眼眶也乏起了泪水。多问候了几句就关了电话。

其实这整篇最主要的肉戏是在爸妈的那通电话，这是我要表达的一些东西。看看男人在外赚钱，生活忙碌，游子在外的生活从来没什么想家，偶尔还会关心爸妈的生活状况。但像此时的情况，爸妈的意外会让我突然失措，很担心，很彷徨。平时表现得什么大男人，不轻弹眼泪什么什么的，如此简单的消息就把眼睛弄湿。这时的我才知道爸妈在我心中占了很大的位子。

致那些自认铁石心肠，有泪不轻弹的朋友们。你家人就是你的软肋，多关心他们吧。。。

Something to let you know. We not that great!

Cool! It kind of told the true side of it where most people didnt see it.

2006年尾的写照--爱情篇

2007-01-06T23:15:00.000+08:00

2006年的我还是单身一个。。。。。哈，看来好像没什么好接下去了。这一年都没什么桃花运，虽然结识到几位异性朋友但不是那些能关系更亲密发展下去的朋友。

回想起这一年偶尔会想起以前大学时那位女孩，唯一一个追求我的女孩。那一段时间有一股冲动想找回她联络，想告诉她那时的我想尝试在那时候给个机会我从补以前我欠她的时光。但我意识到这应该是不可能，因为她有了他。从大学时期我拒绝了她后我们还是又保持联络，而且我敢说在看我心情写照的各位你们不会相信（尤其是认识我的朋友），我们是以书信的方式保持联络。虽然我有她的电话但很奇怪我不会打电话和他交谈，sms还会有啦。一度看到她的来信说他想和现任男友提出分手，因为那时她和她的结合是因为我和她的分离而促成的。她说和他的结合是因为想象我示威之类的。各位您也许觉得我有点自大，但这都是从她的来信中获取的消息。那时的我刚好不懂是什么事而觉得有点孤单，很像投入一段感情中。我脑海开始想做她的情人，想给个机会让我们重拾我们在那里断掉的一段感情。但在没回复她的信前就收到她的第二封信影射着她坚决不会再踏入我俩的交叉中。也许这是我一方面的判断但肯定的我还蛮了解她的，这4-5年的书信可不是看看就算的。信中可是我和她的内心交流，让彼此更了解对方。那也是我觉得为什么她会在短时期内再写多一封信给我解释清楚，她肯定是察觉到我在想的东西了。

也许有人会说这还是我单方面的想法，因该尝试问问她接不接受我。现在我很庆幸我没走那一步，因为现在的她和他还是在一起，很好很好地在一起。3年的感情不可能这么容易放掉吧（这是针对她来说的，因为我还是看过我朋友的一段漫长的感情还是被他放下），再说我可懂他是很爱她的。好久了没收到她的来信，还好吗？Blog上还是看到她和他的恩爱照片，因该没什么了吧。

既然2006年爱情运没什么有进展，但还是有个东西，有个问号还是挂在心上。我是否喜欢她？此她非彼她。我还真的不了解我自己，明明希望和她感情能在深一步，但总是顾忌一大堆东西。人家说或电视上讲到看到你喜欢的人你会特别高兴，看到她时我不会特别高兴但我是开心地和她一起。友情偏中我可说过，和女人的话题我可不擅长，但和她一起我觉得我不会静静的坐在一旁，我也不用去想要说什么话题。大家都很自然的说说笑笑的，很像一位很谈得来的知心朋友。(这还好嘛，可以进一步发展成情人嘛。像她开口啊！）可是我还蛮怕一件事。拒绝？不，拒绝我还承受得起，我害怕的是失去一位朋友。人家/电视说“做不了请人就做不了朋友”。也许这是说我宁愿和她就呆在这朋友关系的圈子里面也不愿踏出一不离开这圈子，虽然我还是喜欢她。前几天和她出来共餐，我还真的以为我们像是一对情侣，只差我们的手不是相连的。我还记得她说她再找一支笔，在我们吃饭的广场中的书店都找不到。第二天我就到另一个广场去找，找到了还帮她买了。从我的举动看来我是爱上了她，但我心里可没有那种爱的feel。没有以前那种feeling，那种。。。。。怎么形容的feel。

是我重视朋友间的感情多过爱情吧！是我爱自由，怕被爱情束缚吧！是我想太多吧。。。。。

2006年尾的写照--友情篇

2006-12-29T20:32:00.000+08:00

2006认识了不少朋友，都谈得上话的。虽然我还是依然如故，不能轻易的打开心扉，总是隐藏些心理世界，但我可喜欢和他们混在一起。

一群印象深刻的是当lab中的一群同事在意想不到的当儿竟然邀请我一起订作jersey，过后还约我去踢球。想着想着他们如何知道我也是球界中人。他们还可真是资料收集得很好。他们的球技也可真不错，我也至少不会差太多，要不然他们可不会再找我踢球吧。也可以说是因为他们而使我决定当初要继续留下来的，他们的影响力可也不少。从他们的启发让我对这个department较融洽些，较有一个团队的感觉。

Department时而时刻。。。不，应该说每3个月都有一次所谓的teambuilding活动。印象深刻的是整团躯踢室内足球（futsal)。说整部门其实也还不是只有男的参加，女性同事都不好运动。更何况这是一个肌体碰撞激烈的运动，女生大多数都基于矜持而不愿参加。之前与lab同事的踢球默契在此活动上真的发挥得很好。但这是次点，最重要的是整个部门都士气大增和与一些较少打交道的同事关系也拉近一些。

像不像快乐的一群？你还没看到全部人拼得要死的脸孔呢。

公司在9月份举办了年度的xxx杯赛。这赛事是将公司的几个部门分成5队，分别派代表参加3项运动-羽球，乒乓和篮球。我当然死也要尽力拼进篮球队做个部门代表也光荣，把我的篮球技充分的表现出来，回馈部门。由于我不懂上一届是如何选拔和获得第几名，还抱着一股心说一定高手如云，要倒尽球技来博得一席正选或一席候补资格（虽然我的球技也不过如此）。到了选拔那天才知道原来不是很多人参加，而且我的队才没几个人喜欢打篮球的。选拔充其名只是要凑足人马区比赛，而且上一届我的对是包尾的。但队长他对我们说希望这一届不必包尾，争口气不要输得太彻底。在此时就遇上了一位在lab是怎样都难以想象到他也是篮球爱好者的一位朋友。在lab和他开始时没什么两句（典型的我），都是托他胖我看看仪器和解决一些机械上遇到的问题，到场上才知道他也能打得上一手篮球。也在场上认识了一些别的部门的篮球爱好者。虽然没有什么国手州手之类的强者但大家都为了快乐而打球，志不在赢（虽然我很想赢），只要打得出好成绩就好。虽然最终我们打不进决赛但我们已经很快乐和尽了最大的能力来达每场比赛。

队友于最后一场赛事完毕后的合照。谢谢大家一起的快乐打球时光。

看回头，我除了工作上认识了不少朋友之外，别处都没交上什么朋友了。就连圣诞节和一群朋友的朋友都难以打破那层冰。我就是这么样的吗？我一度有这么问我自己但我还是给不了自己一个答案。在看回头，好像我认识的女性朋友和男性朋友的比例是1：10。是我害羞，不懂言辞，笨抑或是什么呢？又一次连“我的性取向改变了”这么荒唐的理由都爬上我脑中。我很肯定地说这个理由是200%不会成立的。我给自己的答案是我很难和女性找到共同话题，和男性谈的话题较多。就算现在叫我举列一些可以和女性朋友谈的话题我可以举出一些来如谈帅哥，谈电影，谈。。。。时装？坦白说本人对此话题的知识根本是零，如何沟通呢？难道和女性谈些男性话题如足球，篮球，车，Game，女人？成功率很少吧，会把女人闷荒的哦。等等，这好像快说到爱情篇了。还是在爱情篇再发表吧。

P/S:公司的篮球比赛我们是输3场赢一场，缘绝决赛。但在另一个比赛也就是三分王比赛中，本人也缘绝王位，居第二。至少为队带来一个变形的光荣。

2006年尾的写照

2006-12-29T14:36:00.000+08:00

Goodbye X'mas 2006, Goodbye 2006......
上个星期才度过了圣诞节，就这么要拿出party hat和bloopers, 准备看Time Square NY 得到数了。虽然年年都是如此但今年有些感触而在blogger写下一丝丝的心理内容。

2006是我整整工作了一整年的一年。在这家公司看见了其大起大落，也为自己在这department是否被录取烦。既然一开始就写了工作就由工作的写照开始吧。

工作的我

2006年头，再此工作了6个月。追问了老板即使录取我，老板带我兜花园。开始听到谣言说公司不景气(太没理由了，国外公司啊，还是好出名那种），可能停止录取新人和裁员，但我还是对着公司有着一定的信任。年中基于我的contract快到期而一度彷徨。Interview了几间别的公司和别的department，相信成功录取率也相当高但我还是选择了留下来。这是有几个原因让我作出这选择。

熟悉了工作性质，不像换也觉得还有很多可以学习，吸取更多的工作经验，把根基打得更稳。

感谢朋友的姐姐对我的信任，也很乐意在为她把这group做好。

刚开始和身边的同事关系更进一步，开始熟络起来。（我是较慢和人谈得来的人）

年尾了，被录取了，花红来了，多么的快乐啊。。。但还是有伤感的剧情。先甜后苦吧。终于在我contract到期前几天，大老板来信（e-mail)说我被录用了。好高兴但也觉得老板好会打算。我不想多说他的坏话反正从第一天上班开始到现在我总是收到同事们对于他的negative feedback多过positive的。但还是要谢谢他（大老板），谢谢他为我而向国外的大大老板争取一个席位给我（当时真的开始了不景气的先兆）。二谢朋友的姐姐和两位印度信仰的老板为我说话，很感激他们为我先找些后路和游说大老板。三谢泰国籍的“师傅”传下了一些工作上的工夫于我，让我能勉强勉强的独当一面。回想起当“师傅”从美国回来时还真的和我想象中的差好多。

伤感的年尾是“师傅”走了，带着蛮高兴的心情到别的group了。虽然人总是会走，可不大可能会长期留在同一个地方太久，也留下了一个让我能成为lead的可能性给我，但我还是希望原本的那个team能继续下去。因为我懂，我还没到“师傅”的那个level，还有好多我需要提升的地方。再一幕伤感的剧情是好多建立起来的朋友（尤其女性）也都走了。整个department充满了阳刚味，欠缺阴来调和，工作较少motivation。没法啦，我还单身而且男人都爱看女人。

整年来的工作真的让我学习了好多东西，也有一度让我感觉到无比的压力。原来这就是毕业前常听到“这公司工作的人都会很有压力”的状况。完成了几大成就：

一个product终于PRQ了。。

对自己的能力稍微提高了一些（有点谦虚）。

开始独挡一面了。尽力不丢“师傅”和朋友的姐姐的脸。

好了就让他终结吧。最后由几句话要说。

致大老板，谢谢你也不怎么谢谢你。希望你能宽容些，不要太过看重于金钱和成绩。员工的士气个人觉得也重要。

致朋友的姐姐，对不起，最后的星期我实在没什么工作到。那tools也还没up。有点令你失望了。

致同事们，为未来的2007打拼吧。新年快乐！
