Intelligent crap? Anyone?
Whoever read Bee's entry for today will absolutely think that she is going nut.
I think she IS. And the writing proves that very fact. If someone of higher authority read this, she will be surely detained under ISA, or being tortured like what we saw in the Hollywood movies, bloody and terrifying. And if I were to edit that piece of so-called crap, only one word remains. :P I of course don't blame her. This morning, I told her that both of us should write the crappiest entry of all. Our mind in the state of immense imbalance, and writing crap would be wonderful. Such state of mind can in turn breed a masterpiece. Kipling wrote his finest writing when he was not quite sober, rite? No!? I must be mistaken then! :P
(Puchong, if u read this, please hand me ur finest 60s!! :P)
I told her my crap would be logical and concise, clear and precise. I will write a crap of my standard with absolute precision, where people should laugh out loud for one minute - and sharp, with no second more or less. She laughed her stomach hurt. I guess. But, I'm dead serious, dear! (Do I look otherwise? :P)
(After she finished and published her writing, i told her that i JUST framed her so she writes an entry. :P "u'r soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo BAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD", she said. It's her very words, with exact number of O, A and D! Feeling obliged and a bit guilty, here i'm. )
So, my fingers start moving around the keyboard now, wondering what should I write. It's hard. Is it really that a logical mind contains ONLY an educational crap, which turn out to be not crap at all? :P - where even whenever he craps, people will convince what he talks is really somekind of the philosophy with truest, highest, precious, (and boring) substance? :P
I dunno. :P ( I feel people just don't understand me, and they think what i told them about the martian thingy is nothing, BUT the plain TRUTH !! I pity them. :P )
So far, i'm pretty sure what i've written above is no crap. That's weird. Crap is supposed to be easy to write! And concentrating makes thing worse. Concentrating makes my mind more distracting. And, heck, Bee tells me to just keep writing and don't think.
So, I just write. And still, NO crap. (I write several things, but deleted them afterward because they were no crap!! Hmm, what a wasted time! )
[[Silence. I can hear my breath.]]
Damn! I give up! You won miss Bee. :P You crap wonderfully! :P *clap* *clap* You can vomit now reading my entry.
p/s: And I fail in my mission miserably to make you laugh for one minute! I will be more humble next time! :P

Diary of husband's and wife's
I cannot help myself to share with you here, a forwarded email which was sent by Ain. Enjoy!
p/s: A typical example of "Man from Mars, Women from Venus?"
| WIFE's DIARY
Sunday night - I thought he was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a cafe to have some coffee. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment. Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk, he agreed but he kept quiet and absent. I asked him what was wrong - he said, "Nothing." I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry. On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say, "I love u, too." When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed distant and absent. Finally I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed. I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided to confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep. I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster. HUSBAND's DIARY Today Manchester United lost the match. DAMN IT..!! |

What! Mosquitoes!?
I never hate mosquitoes like i hate them now. I never really think about them before. I dun care if one or two take the previleges to taste my sweet blood! :P But, I dunno why suddenly for past few days, this pesky, bothersome, wicked insect suddenly like attacking me with all their might in my very room. It hard for me to get a proper sleep with them attacking, biting me like there is nobody else in the world. Itchy and swelling all over!
I need my sleep, for god sake! ( Read: Nyamuk, apa salah saya?! :P)
Angry and frustrated, I declared war now and here! I bought the notorious Ridsect last night and the extensive smell of it came to my aid. They could not stand the smell and run and one or two were like fainting straightaway :P ( I watched the show with my evil smile spanning from ear to ear! Damn me! :P)
I was a king in my room again! :P
( Assumption: People must have taken some preventive measure out there since news on dengue fever is all over the papers. So, with their home being invaded, these mosquitoes takes refuge in my cozy room! :P)
No "moral of the story" for this entry yah! :P See, who say i'm against crapping? [ppl cheering followed by the wave :P]

Growth and Firm Foundation.
Yesterday, Nara, the secretary of the Johor Chess Association, called me, inviting me to enter the Southern City Chess Tournament this coming 30 Jan. I gave my nod to put my name in the participant list.
I just love competitive chess! We are like a big family here. Again and again, we will find the familiar faces, thinking hard to outwit their opponent.
This time around, most of the chess players who have decided to participate - me included - will ONLY start to prepare certain lines to brush up our opening repertoire and to sharpen our mind. Some just do not.
And we hope to get top place in the tournament. Ironic since we have not practice daily.
In "The Success Journey", Frank Tibolt in the introduction wrote:
|
A firm foundation is built on growth, not rushing. Growth, whether plant growth, muscle growth, or mind growth, is governed by natural laws. It can't be forced beyond previous preparation. Each day's growth prepares for the next day growth. We can never break nature's laws. Too often we break ourselves, trying. |
Make sense, rite? Of course we have a dream, but without a proper training, are we deserve the win? Most of the time, not! :P (We will find that the master are too tough a nut to crack since they regularly practise :P)
Optimist ALONE and quick fix are not enough! Rome could not be built in one day!
Take for granted!
I'm full. Having my dinner at KFC just now and I'm full. It was original, snack plate set. What was left in my plate was nothing but bones. And, for your information, I do not take sauce whenever I've original set, since the mixture tastes good enuff to me. And, the smashed potato looks --
Ok, cut the crap!
Anyway, when I was ordering the meal, I saw the girl put two chicken breasts in the plate. I asked a chicken wing for change. She informed me that there was no chicken wing, and NEVER have chicken wings in an original set. (At least the girl told me so :P) I was like "REALLY?". I thought I'd one before, but come to think of it, I never have asked for change and ate whatever part given. Hmm, what I'm trying to say here is that I take it for granted, and I do not know that there is no chciken wings in an original set. Not until I asked for the change.
Ok, this is not a good example. :P And, perhaps you still do not get what I'm trying to convey :P
I dunno how many things we just take for granted in our life. I'm sure, a lot!! It become part of our life and those things become subconciously we live with. They become a habit. However, I believe, certain things should not be. If we examine close enough, we will find out what things - for our sake - should not be taken for granted.
Anyway, we DO take things for granted. The obvious - day in day out, we wake up. Go to work. Back. And sleep. Eat. Pray. Month in, month out. Year in, year out. And most of us are still doing the same thing again and again. Same job. Same salary. And no improvement whatsoever. Most of us feel comfortable in our comfort zone.
We do mistakes, but how many times you do same mistake again and again and never care to overcome it?
And, how many times we read about certain safety guides and measurement in the newspapers or books or even a small handouts, stating on something that we can avoid, and unfortunately we do not take any action until we face it personally or become the victim?
Let me tell you something. In my experience as system administrator, again and again I will hear news from my counterpart on how backup power generator fail when it is most needed. Just because they take it for granted that it is working all the time without doing some testing from time to time to validate its functionality. Plus we think that the chances the main resource of power to go down is small.
At least, I myself take a lot of things for granted. :P I know because Ain tells me so. There are lot of things I take for granted before - which I think as small matters i could think later when i've spare time - being hightlighted by Ain. Since in a relationship you should not take things for granted, i consider. And I have been improving since then.
There must be ways of doing things. Alternatives. But, we still love to do the thing in our common way and do not even consider the alternatives. Who knows, the alternatives are much much better!
When I was in Jedi training, Yoda taught me to "Unlearn what I've learnt". By that, he means that, without pre-perception, to examine things and not take them for granted, and things you find need to be fixed, unlearn them and relearn. Find the alternative! There must be another way!
Ok, again, i cut the crap. I never been a Jedi apperentice. (and you will definitely do not buy to that!:P) I know, you can think on your own!!

Pics from Master's Hand
In my Jan 9 entry, i talked on how i met Saiful Nang at my friend's wedding. He has published the pictures taken that day at his fotopages.
The bride and bridegroom. Aziruddin and Faridatul Amla. Sama padan!
Azi and i were exchanging info about friends. Hey, we are now an adult! And i gained extra weight since the last time we met!
My fiancee,Ain, and Fida, talking. Perhaps, Ain tried to get some tips? :P
I just believe that when one has developed one's skill in the field that one's like most, the outcome will be quite amazing. Outstanding results will come quite effortlessly.

Deep Breath
Just now, when i flipped thru the Nov issue Reader's Digest pages, i stumbled to this paragraph (pg: 114):
This reminds me of one fine day, several weeks ago, where i sent sms to my circle of friends. It was something like this: "If you have time, have a deep breath". Ironically, 4 or 5 of them replied back, asking what happened to me, and whether i was ok or not. To me, the message was crystal clear. If you have time, have a deep breath. It's good for you :P
I don't know when i started to have this exercise. It must be some influnce from books i read and i have been practising it since. Again and again, my colleagues and friends alike presume that i'm half insane :P
And i still love having a deep breath!

The newest research says that the best way to handle stress is not by checking into a day spa or anything else where the end goal is stress reduction. That sort of binge-and-purge approach does little to keep us relaxed. Instead, we should simply acknowledged that life is full of little tensions because, hey, that's life. And we should handle it moment by moment the way people always have, by taking a deep breath and getting some perspective. |

My First Entry of The Year!
Here we go. My first entry of this year come as late as the 9th day of January. Late indeed but in these days, a lot of things happened. I should say the opening of the year is quite remarkable for me. If not because there were already happened, I would think that I had dellusion of some sort. :P
Before i proceed, to those who still have not donate to Tsunami Disaster Fund, you can do it by SMS.
[1] Celcom [RM5 per sms]- Type 'DERMA' and send to 33699
[2] Maxis [RM1 per sms]- Type 'DERMA' or 'DONATE' and send to 22999.
[3] DiGi [RM3,RM5 or RM10] - Type 'RM3','RM5' or 'RM10', depends on how much you want to donate, and sent to 1996.
Well. Please bear with me for being a bit human in this entry! :P
It's not a hidden fact that I spent my first day of the year in KL and Selangor. I did attend my friend's wedding at Bandar Baru Bangi where both husband and wife were my ex-coursemate. And later, I met my terato friends at KLCC and spent sometimes hanging out with them at Burger King, and watched "Meet The Fockers" afterward.
The day after that, Sunday, our parent - my fiancee's and mine - met and in their conservation, they agreed that perhaps, our wedding will be postponed to 2006 for some reason. Of course that has been discussed beforehand between us. The actual month is still undecided. Who knows, we cannot wait, and getting married this year. Everything depends on the situation. So, to those who are so eager to attend our wedding, please be patient :P
Several day after that, I got fever. Rest assured that the ailment was not due to the postponement. :P I had a sudden sore throat. And in no time, I contracted by a bad flu on Wednesday and I got fever. I was on MC on Thursday. This MC, if I'm not mistaken, was only the third time since my 4 years of working. (More often than not, I just ignored them and believed they would go by themsleves). So stuborn, I spent half day in the office before went back and slept and to my craziness, I went back to office after working hours. It's not crazy if you take how far my office from my room is into consideration. 3 minutes errand is nothing to me. :P
And yesterday was working Saturday. And what you expect if you have a meeting started from 9 to 1 p.m? Of course a boring one! I was looking forward to that evening outing with Ain. She has booked ticket to watch Kungfu Hustle. And this loooong meeting! Owhh, how dreadful. But, again, something happened that saved me from total boredom. In the middle of the meeting, our company receptionist brought a small bouquet of flower, mentioning that it was from my fiancee. Oh my God, in the middle of meeting! And my colleagues started to smile from ears to ears and asked on what occasion the flower being sent. I could not recall any, and they frightened me by saying that I must have forgotten something and in huge trouble. C'mon! Ain sent that for fun surely :P It's a nice feeling just the same. But, I admit, it's weird for a girl to give flower to a guy. It's always the other way around. But who cares! Thanks dear!
Hmmm, and, today? Today is something that totally unexpected happened. The world is so small I can feel it, and it seems our life and others become intertwined in amazing way. It was another wedding ceremony. It was a great wedding ceremony, and it was being held at Dewan Jubli Intan, Jb. Both bride and bridegroom, Aziruddin and Faridatul Amla, were my ex-schoolmate back at Sc Muar. As soon as we - Ain and I - arrived at the hall, we straight paced toward the couple. Heyy, it took a while for them to remember me and they said - like my friends I met at BBB - I have changed a lot physically. No wonder since the last time they saw me was almost 10 years ago. :P
Now came to the nice part. When I handshake Azi's hand, the cameraman took pictures of us. Glancing at him, I realized it was a familiar face! It was Saiful Nang. Ok, that name minght not ring any bell upon you, but it did on Ain and me. Saiful is a famous photo blogger. His snapshot is so creative and different. I once showed the photoblog to Katak, and guess what? He told me, Saiful was his lecturer back at Lim Kok Wing Institute! Anyway, when Azi and Fida have a futher conversation later and Saiful again took our picture, we said straight to him that we are his fan and he was flattered. :P You can see his photoblog here.
The world is so small, indeed.
Ok, back to matter in hand. :P If you realize, this blog now has guest writers. This idea has been discussed between Iqa and me long time ago since we thought, by doing so, this blog will be more regularly update. I'm looking forward to making and witnessing this blog to be better this year. :P

2005
So, this is my last entry for 2004. What to say yah? :P No. No. Dont expect that i will tell you my new year resolution. :P
A lot of things happened this year. Transferred office from Tech Park to Mid Valley and then to Bukit Damansara and now in Jb. Transferred from Serdang, Selangor to Tampoi Utama, Johor. Changed company. And, i now got fiancee, love and being loved. And of course being one year older. And, yeah, having this blog. And, in that span of time, i learnt a lot of things ( and a lot of time wasted too, to be frank!). What a year!
Life is about improvement (Is it?).
It's not only about year to year improvement, but day to day improvement, month to month improvement. As long as there is even a minute improvement made, you can consider yourself in "ok state". They say, do not afraid of moving slowly, but be afraid of not moving. (A motivational speaker made that words stucked in our mind while he gave a motivational talk at Sc Muar. Shoot! :P)
There are people who say that they do not need new year resolution since they make them regularly. I can only say "Congratulations!". However, i do not see any problem with having this yearly postmoterm and resolution.
Wait! I'm in error. Yearly review does not necessarily being done in January. Sorry! :P
So, i'm supposed to say, "Happy New Year" right? So, yeah, Happy New Year. :P (Sooo book-lah, i think :P)

Difficulty
"So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief: Verily, with every difficulty there is relief." [Al-Insyirah: 5-6]
Deceiving?
Anybody who read my posting at terato forum, at the thread discussing about books, would have known that currently, I'm concentrating on reading non-fiction books. In my posting, I blamed fahmot half-jokingly for this sudden change. I believe, my last 10 purchased books are of non-fiction.
In one of my conversation with fahmot, he suggested me to read any Jack Welch related. (What I know about Welch comes from a book entitled Robert Heller's "Roads To Success", which I bought at a very cheap price with approximately 2/3 price cut. This book also portrays other 7 gurus in various fields). He loves a solid one. I'm on the other hand read much easy-going-and-average-reader-friendly kind of writing style.
I've several books I bought because they are bestseller. And, I've also enlisted books in the hot list to be in the pipeline to be purchased.
Out of my curiousity, I checked those titles in the amazon.com to see readers' review.
And, I'm sick I want to puke! Why? Let me show examples:
RICH DAD POOR DAD. This book has a lot of good reviews. But, many good reviews where users gladly gave five stars away, but that does not mean that book is good. I dug deeper to find this review:
I went to the said URL (http://www.johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html). and read here and there of the argument. And I was like, oh my God! In this page, John T. Reed, a guru in real estate, shows us as to why this book is bad for readers who does not have background in it. What is more annoying is that it can be proved some persons who give the direct testimonial are paid for that, and their words are totally not what happened to them as they claimed.
The question is what makes these books bestsellers? I do not know. I'm still confused because it is a bestseller among the big player too, who know about tips and tricks of the field deeper.
Next question: if these bestsellers provide us with inaccurate facts, so how to trust what have written in any other books? How to distinguish which one is good and which one is bad writer?
Should we ignore the fact that the facts are incorrect as long as they benefit us in some way, like many people who email mr Reed after reading his argument and still defending the author? (They say: "So what, it's just a little book". "So who cares if he oversimplifies a little?". "It's OK if he lies because it's just a motivational book". "He got me thinking about finance and that's all I care about". "What is truth anyway?")
The problem is we do not spend some time to check the review and buy the book based on the bestseller title. If it is a fiction, then I cannot see any much harm. But, if it is a guide or fact that will affect our belief or conducts, then I learn my lesson - check, no matter after or before you buy. :P
I think, I should read more solid book. :P Welch is ok to begin with, hihi. Perhaps. :P

| Avoid it like the plague!!!, December 1, 2004
Reviewer: Karthik Natarajan "McCombs2004" (Austin, TX) (REAL NAME) This is BY FAR THE WORST BOOK I'VE EVER READ IN MY LIFE!!! I cannot believe that this guy is making so much money selling nothing! I heard so much about this book, that I decided to buy it and read it on a long flight to South Africa from Atlanta. By the time that plane landed in Johannesburg, let me tell you - I was quite queasy (not by the terrible SA Airways food, but by the content in the book). I'm a 2004 MBA grad from a top-20 school, and right off the bat, I could detect some fluff in the book (e.g., insider trading, deducting personal expenses as company expenses, his vacuous comments about avoiding mutual funds and the like because they are "too risky"), but I didn't dismiss him right away because I thought that maybe I wasn't reading between the lines enough to get the "point" - remember the children's tale, "Emporer's New Clothes". Fortunately, I trusted my instincts and did a little research and found this website (yes, I know we've all heard of it, but nonetheless, you can NEVER overstate the truth) - http://www.johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html. People can say whatever they want about John Reed's intentions for his analysis, but the bottom line is that everything he says is the TRUTH - something that the Kiyosaki cultists don't want to concede to. And reading this analysis, and Kiyosaki's connections with Amway and these other MLM freaks has only enraged me even more that I not only threw away money on something useless, but that there are countless others out there (yes, even other top-20 MBAs) who have been guiled by this unscrupulous charlatan! The only thing useful that could ever come out of this book is a B-school case study on the effective use of Machiavellian cultism as a tool for marketing - then again, that, too, would give this jerk more money through royalty fees. Bottom Line: As my title clearly states, AVOID THIS BOOK LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!! |

Today, i'm on leave. So, I watched Ocean's Twelve at MegaPavillion, City Square.
p/s:
Anyway, yesterday was Ain's Mom's Birthday. So, Ain, her mom and I were having our dinner at Mutiara Hotel. Ironically, ( or at least I found it quite, hmm, different ) Ain's sis' birthday was also in the same day. It turned out to be double birthday. But, since Ain's sis is still studying in US, so she could not be present with us. She sent a cake bought via Internet to her mom while we sent her present through mail.
Of course having a buffet in a hotel is pleasant experience. (Especially when the one you love most is sitting next to you!!) Back when I was working in my previous company, my work sometimes gave me chances to stay a night or two at hotel. I really love every minutes of it.
Ain and I love foods. We appreciate them.
You know what, I love to see Ain eating those food - I mean, the way she tastes, the expression, and the way she gives her comment about those foods - hehe, I dunno how to say it. (Dun tell her, but I think she is extra cute at that moment. Hehe!)
I expect, we will have a rich journey jalan-jalan cari makan later.
p/s/s:
I expect no comment for this entry :P This entry was written just to make me feel better, not for everyone information. And, mind you, to make one's feel better is one of the purpose of writing a blog, hehe!
Woweee, this is the shortest entry i have ever written, assuming that p/s and p/s/s does not take into account. :P

YM Session : Our mind!
Today, my terato friend, Nazier suddenly gave a message asking about a question. I guess, those in form 4 or form 5 will answer it with ease. On the other hand, i've to recall and answer it with a bit uncertainties.
Below is a the YM session between us.
And i began to ask Master Google, and was directed to several websites. Satisfied, i continued our conversation.
What do you think? Sometimes, our mind confuses between facts, and which is which. Sometimes, they just stay in our subconcious mind and when one thing happens that wake them up, we are like -- "hey, that's familiar but who said that eh? what is it eh?" and etc.
Long time ago in my previous company, i was asked by my Director if a logo that she showed to me ring a bell, whether i'd seen it somewhere. She just tried to make sure that the logo designed for a product was original. I said, it's look familiar "subconciously" but i could not recall where i'd seen it. I thought like hell but only days later i found the answer, when my mind a bit calmer. :P
Our mind is a mysterious thing!
However, i still think that the guy should do his homework! :P
p/s:
I stumbled at this site when i surfed to find who was actually being quoted as above. It was from "Who want to be a Millionaire" episode. "MUSIM KE LAPAN, EPISOD 11, RABU, 12 SEP 2001".
7th question at RM4000 to second contester, Aidil:
'Veni, Vedi, Vinci' merupakan kata-kata yg diucapkan oleh...
A. Pompey
B. Julius Caesar
C. Asoka
D. Iskandar Zulkarnain
Either not knowing the answer, or just not confident with his answer, he used his #1 talihayat and called his friend, Cikgu Abdul Hamid. "B Julius Caesar, confirm 100%" was his friend's reply :P
I will do the same if i were in his shoes, hehe! Or so i think.
Below is a the YM session between us.

Friends, i wanted to update last night but i got this error as soon as i logged into blogger.com control panel:
Error
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to process your request at this time. Our engineers have been notified of this problem and will work to resolve it.
So, don't blame me! :P
But, it's ok since what i wanted to write last night was a crap. Hmm, about me having some kind of --, how to say it, this uncomfy, weird feeling. I wanted to write what i ate yesterday ( food, and food and food!) and stuffs. And wish, "Selamat Bulan December!" :P
I was really exhausted last night, and thanks God for the error :P ( when i'm exhausted, the topic i choose is some kind of rubbish - which i nicely put them in words and play with sentence structures! :P)
Ok, this is an update, BTW! ( ah! TLO's force is sooo strong here! :P )

Bug Fixed !!
I don't know why, but today i'm looking for subtitute for my $^#*%@# Internet Explorer (Yes, the adjective used not passed my own censorship, hehehe!). Several browsers came into my mind, like Netscape, Firefox, Opera etc. I ended up using Firefox after reading good reviews about it.
So, of course later i tried several website known for their layers of tables in the programming to see whether the layout and design still look intact (certain browser does not really support or "being nice" to the complicated design or certain parameter or tag in the coding!!). And, of course my own blog, numbed-mind, is one of them. ( Because it is my coding, started from scretch ma! Ask Katak, if u dun believe me! :P)
To my horror, the layout is not as what i see when i use Internet Explorer. What should be right and left side suddenly turn out to be as top and bottom to one another. "There must be some unnecessary tag or wrong parameter in the coding, that i overlooked before", i said to myself. And, suddenly i remembered one complaint from a friend - is it Mugen? - at the tagboard long time ago, about this page being very weird on his non-IE browser. I took it for granted at that time since i didn't care to check the page by using other browsers. :P Poor me!
So, i started looking back at the coding. Right enough, i made an elementary mistake at the css part, unnoticedly included the "absolute" value where it is unnecessary. :P One word only and thing went soo wrong, hehe! (That's part and parcel of a programmer's life! And luckily i'm not working as full time programmer! :P)
So, is it that IE being nice or is it that it is so dumb? No matter what the answer is, I hate it for executing certain unnecessary script that make the system unhealthy, and those bugs which turn my life quite miserable, and etc and bla bla bla. And enuff is enuff! :P (Q: How long i can refrain myself from using IE? Firefox is ok to me so far :P)
p/s: I think i have so many "bugs" in myself that i need to fix :( I feel so uncomfy lately! Anyway, thanks to my Ain for giving me precious advices. I love u!!

Najwa
Below is my colleague's kid's pic, Najwa. The nice thing about this kid is that she is over friendly. Rarely indeed she cries when someone takes her from her mom. She has been babysitted nearby the office so it is easy for me to meet her after office hour. :P The second pic, however, ehemm, is the one for you to see as to why her mom considers me as Najwa's "bapa angkat".
What do you think? Hehe! Me, nice uncle huh? :P But, guys, if you are 20s over, please dun think i'm like ur uncle. :P I know some did because that very person told me so, and you know who you are, hehe! :P

Personality Test
I've taken quite a number of personality test where i've been given questions to answer as honest as possible. Those questionnaire sometimes are boring, where even certain question we answered with a bit uncertainty. :P
But, the one i put here today is nothing like that. It's a simple test. All of the optional pics are beautiful, but alas, we have to choose our most preferrable one. Yes, beautiful they are, but it consists some meaning for psychologist to penetrate and understand our personality. At least, a very interesting experiment.
This test is actually sent by my friend, Rudiah via email, and i should say that i didn't open it until weeks later. :P Why? I guess, because it is in a Word Document. :P But, one fine evening, i opened it and found it a very interesting test. :)
So, let's me bring you the exact words, pasted from the document. :P
[begin]
Select a shape below that appeals to you the most and then scroll down to read about your personality.
A psychologist developed these shapes. They have been tested worldwide, over a period of several years. As we received feedback from our research, we carefully adjusted the color and/or form of each shape, then tested again, until we were left with a highly successful set of shapes. These represent the nine basic personality types.
[end]
So, have you choose one? :P Ok, i know being honest here. Now, let's see the verdict :P
*drum rolling*
Wait! I give you a chance to change your mind and look at the shape again!
And again!
Are you sure that one is your most preferrable?
Sure?
Ok. By now, i know you are damn sure about your choice. So, here we go:
*drum rolling*
[1]
Independent
Unconventional
Unfettered
You demand a free and unattached life for yourself that allows you to determine your own course. You have an artistic bent in your work or leisure activities. Your urge for freedom sometimes causes you to do exactly the opposite of what expected of you.
Your lifestyle is highly individualistic. You would never blindly imitate what is "in"; on the contrary, you seek to live according to your own ideas and convictions, even if this means swimming against the tide.
[2]
Dynamic
Active
Extroverted
You are quite willing to accept certain risks and to make a strong commitment in exchange for interesting and varied work. Routine, in contrast, tends to have a paralyzing effect on you.
What you like most is to be able to play an active role in events. In doing so, your initiative is highly pronounced.
[3]
Down to Earth
Well-Balanced
Harmonious
You value a natural style and love that which is uncomplicated. People admire you because you have both feet planted firmly on the ground and they can depend on you. You give those who are close to you security and space. You are perceived as being warm and human. You reject everything that is garish and trite. You tend to be skeptical toward the whims of fashion trends. For you, clothing has to be practical and unobtrusively elegant.
[4]
Professional
Pragmatic
Self-assured
You take charge of your life, and place less faith in your luck and more in your own deeds. You solve problems in a practical, uncomplicated manner. You take a realistic view of the things in your daily life and tackle them without wavering. You are given a great deal of responsibility at work, because people know that you can be depended upon.
Your pronounced strength of will projects your self-assurance to others. You are never fully satisfied until you have accomplished your ideas.
[5]
Peaceful
Discreet
Non-Aggressive
You are easy-going yet discreet. You make friends effortlessly, yet enjoy your privacy and independence. You like to get away from it all and be alone from time to time to contemplate the meaning of life and enjoy yourself. You need space, so you escape to beautiful hideaways, but you are not a loner. You are at peace with yourself and the world, and you appreciate life and what this world has to offer.
[6]
Carefree
Playful
Cheerful
You love a free and spontaneous life. And you attempt to enjoy it to the fullest, in accordance with the motto: "You only live once."
You are very curious and open about everything new; you thrive on change. Nothing is worse than when you feel tied down. You experience your environment as being versatile and always good for a surprise.
[7]
Romantic
Dreamy
Emotional
You are a very sensitive person. You refuse to view things only from a sober, rational standpoint. What your feelings tell you is just as important to you. In fact, you feel it is important to have dreams in life, too.
You reject people who scorn romanticism and are guided only by rationality. You refuse to let anything confine the rich variety of your moods and emotions.
[8]
Analytical
Trustworthy
Self-assured
Your momentary sensitivity represents that which is of high quality and durable. Consequently, you like to surround yourself with little "gems," which you discover wherever others overlook them.
Thus, culture plays a special role in your life. You have found your own personal style, which is elegant and exclusive, free from the whims of fashion. Your ideal, upon which you base your life, is cultured pleasure. You value a certain level of culture on the part of the people with whom you associate.
[9]
Introspective
Sensitive
Reflective
You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But your relationships with your friends are highly intensive, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you need in order to feel good. However it is no problem for you to be alone for extended periods of time, without becoming bored.
So, which one do you think my choice is? Which one do you think my Ain's choice is? See again at the shape, guess, and ask me :P I mean, if you have time to do so lah, hahaha! :P

You like to get away from it all and be alone from time to time to contemplate the meaning of life and enjoy yourself. You need space, so you escape to beautiful hideaways, but you are not a loner. You are at peace with yourself and the world, and you appreciate life and what this world has to offer.
[6]
Carefree
Playful
Cheerful
You love a free and spontaneous life. And you attempt to enjoy it to the fullest, in accordance with the motto: "You only live once."
You are very curious and open about everything new; you thrive on change. Nothing is worse than when you feel tied down. You experience your environment as being versatile and always good for a surprise.
[7]
Romantic
Dreamy
Emotional
You are a very sensitive person. You refuse to view things only from a sober, rational standpoint. What your feelings tell you is just as important to you. In fact, you feel it is important to have dreams in life, too.
You reject people who scorn romanticism and are guided only by rationality. You refuse to let anything confine the rich variety of your moods and emotions.
[8]
Analytical
Trustworthy
Self-assured
Your momentary sensitivity represents that which is of high quality and durable. Consequently, you like to surround yourself with little "gems," which you discover wherever others overlook them.
Thus, culture plays a special role in your life. You have found your own personal style, which is elegant and exclusive, free from the whims of fashion. Your ideal, upon which you base your life, is cultured pleasure. You value a certain level of culture on the part of the people with whom you associate.
[9]
Introspective
Sensitive
Reflective
You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But your relationships with your friends are highly intensive, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you need in order to feel good. However it is no problem for you to be alone for extended periods of time, without becoming bored.
So, which one do you think my choice is? Which one do you think my Ain's choice is? See again at the shape, guess, and ask me :P I mean, if you have time to do so lah, hahaha! :P
Hari Raya Entry :P
Today, i believe, i've to update because it's quite a while since my last update. And this update should be Hari Raya Update. And Hari Raya Update is supposedly to be a proper one, colourful and full of happiness. :P ( And, i think, i dedicate this update to the update beggar of the year, Leeya, who personally sending sms to me asking for update. :P )
So, where do i start?
Ooo yah, Hari Raya Card. So far, i only received one card. Altho several of my friends claimed has sent their card to me, the cards were yet to arrive in my hand. :P
I admit that i myself felt very lazy to write one. I sent a lot of sms around as a substitute, and they replied back. (And to those who did not reply, you know who you are! :P Takder credit eh? :P) Ironically, their sms showed a variety of ways to express that sms is REALLY a substitute to cards, and easier way to wish. And what's more? See the example below, and draw your own conclusion:
First:

Hemmmm, what do you think? :P I think, they are creative. I mean, the creator, not the forwarder :P. Do not underestimate the power of human mind. :P
Besides, the card, one thing that i found weird was a sudden enormous firework and firecracker being played around. The sound was so disturbing, considering that my anak buah is only 2 month old and the shock sometimes costed his mother a proper sleep. Or so i thought. :P Actually, it costed me a nice, peaceful sleep. Damn! And it gimme a headache.
And, i've enuff headache last week by being so nice reading mail from those spammers club members. Mael, Rudi, Bee, Aan, Neena, Puchong, Dihah, etc to name a few. :P 100s of them. I should blame their poor level of understanding on the art of spamming. Only Puchong is exceptional. :P When i got the headache, i realized one thing: when you do thing, make sure it is harmoniously intertwined with your inner self, or else wait for the subsequent side effects. :P
Wait, was the headache caused by my "anyaman ketupat" last Friday with my colleague in the office? I dunno. :P
At least, i survived with celebrating Hari Raya without the headache. Close called tho!
Ok, ok! I dunno what i have written today :P Such a crap! My mind is sooo unfocussed :P I think, i didn't tell you what i was doing during Raya yet. But, i have told to several of my friends during YM sessions and personal call, so asked them. Hehe! I should stop here! :P
So friends, Selamat Hari Raya! Maaf Zahir Batin! I think i could write better if there is no update beggar pressurize me :P Kidding!
p/s: Ain. I luv u!!
