b3 b0rn.. c0nf0rm, b3 si|3nt .. di3

joined mid this year due to realisation that ppl don’t give a hoot abt yahoogroups nemore.

started off small.. had only 4 friends (?).. muahahha.. says a lot about my ability to keep tabs on me mates, aye?..

just checked in today (i check that account like max 2x a month.. ) and after clicking ‘Yes’ to those friend requests that seem to pop up every week .. now that initial petty # has risen to 53.. baaaanyakkkkk nyeeeee… kekeke

managed to get a good mix of high school, uni and workmates in me list.. the only missing ‘era’ is my primary and pre-school years.

snotty friendster ‘otais’ would snigger @ my apparent pride of having double digits friends. based on ur avg friendster (i am basing this within my network) .. one would hv at least 100 friends tied to your account.. so mine is below average… muahahaha…

oh well, quality not quantity… now.. to prowl for more ‘friends’

particles of thoughts that’s been floating in my mind..

• kya has decided to refer to herself as ‘kakak‘ (elder sister)… this happened i think after she turned two in june.. quite sudden, this. started noticing it when my brothers (her uncles) fooled around pretending to steal her toys and she would admonish them with a firm ‘tak boleh!! kakak punya!‘.. thought it was just a passing fancy - to refer to herself as kakak but now it’s a standard fixture to her sentences.

  mama blithely said that it’s a hint for me to start thinking of conceiving again.. WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOUUUU???

  hehe.. like i said earlier. once kya a.k.a. kakak.. turns 3.. then i’ll seriously attempt the 2nd child.. insya ALLAH

• getting fit… yep.. hit by the bug … amir’s already signed up @ his office’s gym.. my membership has been pending since july.. ahahha.. talk about procrastinating. i was actually waiting til the kl convec centre tunnel is complete.. then i can make my way in the shade to his office.

  why not just sign up at ttfc or fitness first? one might ask. reason: i don’t to see people i know when i’m sweating my armpits off … that’s why..

  but the long walk may prove to be a deterrent instead for me to frequent the gym.. oh well.. will see how these two months go

• my secondary school reunion is finally kicking off.. a month after i finally shut up about asking for volunteers to organise.. they up and just discussed it and we’ve got a date secured. am not complaining! at least someone(s) is taking lead.. so 1st october nobody bother me.. i’ll be catching up on goss with me ol’ mates!

am currently offsite attending a training session that’s supposed to last 5 days - i have been here for 2 days now and am just about ready to throttle the trainer.

it’s bad enough that there are stuff still to be done back at the office. to get a novice trainer for a MYR6,500 course is a bit shabby of the organiser. the guy seems to know his stuff - he has certifications left and right (with all due respect - these were all awarded by the his own company - so whether he truly does know his stuff will only be answered if we end up hving to engage him as our consultant). but he can’t train for nuts!

he is not sure of the training system and keeps having to pause in the midst of a demonstration to think about what he needs to do next. bloody waste of my time and the company’s money - thank god i don’t end up being bonded for attending this less-than-satisfactory training session.

by all means - this is ONLY the second day. but if he doesn’t buckle up soon - the group may declare mutiny and request for another trainer - certificates are fine and all but if you can’t explain for shit - then it’s bloody no use la kan?

it’s been 2 weeks since.

was i busy?

no more than the week before. well, actually a bit. mostly useless stuff. like attending meetings. going for briefing. clicking on touchpad for presentation. go for more meetings. then it’s the weekend. then the cycle continues. meetings. discussions. briefings. discussions. support issues. meetings. (oh. can’t forget lunch!) then getting pissed off abt everything. then it’s friday again.

time flies.. it whizzes - and it’s august and no news of bonus nor increment- boo-hoo!!

work aside -

i’ve been trying to put up a gallery. not that i am such a shutterbug. i take pictures - fullstop. esp. of kya (who else?) i’d rather take pictures of me actually - but then, self portrait - not me greatest strength. plus, those pictures are mostly for my own viewing - if i wanna see my own face - i go see face in a mirror/shiny metally things/a puddle

but seriously - it’s been ages since i had a picture of me taken. gone were those days when every event was an excuse to photograph - ye la. school days, uni days, tenet-ing days, theactualtakingtheleapoffaiththingtwoyrsand11mthsago day. and then there’s the honeymoon - tonnes of self (err.. couple) portraits. i take a picture of you - you take a picture of me - it’s like there weren’t anyone else on the island .it actually seemed so!

honest! not just because we were on that honeymoon high - the ppl that we actually bumped into are those lounge singer/band who actually sang our selections during dinner and a person or two that we passed by while just walking around the resort.

ok back to the original plot - it’s a toss between two gallery software - coppermine vs gallery.. hv tried the gallery thingamajig - don’t like the layout that much - for me it’s aesthetics, aesthetics! … and since am such a lazy a*se to actually come up with my own template or style - i’d like to be able to just use somebody else’s!

oh well.. will see how it goes - if all goes well - the link will be up by end of the month~

::quick smart::
was just commenting to me colleagues. in the 5 yrs that i’ve spent in this company - i dun hv a single photo of me with workmates! woohoo! is that sad or just rational?
