Kellaz, A Journal

First and foremost, consider this as a week's worth of blog entries, hence it is going to be a long one. So be prepared for some reading for your enjoyment. The reason that I have been offline for quite a while was because I have been down with a stomach flu. I don't know what is wrong with my stomach, the doctors don't even know too. And feel helpless about it. Although various theories have been made to conclude my condition. Maybe it is gastric, maybe it is stomach ulcer of some kind, maybe it is viral infection, maybe just a bad case of constipation, whatever it is, I hate this. I hate being sick and feeling sick. I have lots of things at work too. WAITING! It all started on Saturday evening when I complained to Redz that my stomach is aching a little. He suggested that I visit the gents but I harshly replied to him that it's my stomach that was aching, not that I wanted to 'go'. We then went to look for anime DVDs and told him, I really needed to 'go...

The renovations has resulted that few of us was unable to log on to our network, so I borrowed my pc to my colleague for the afternoon. I ended up bored and decided to do a little craft work of my own... Using the extra pins... I'm dead bored, help!

My colleague who just returned from Singapore, brought us a box of chocolate... And god it is absolutely heavenly!

I thought I was safe. I thought I didn't have to move. I was wrong! The final phase of the wall demolition took place during the weekend. And re-shuffling begins at the break of the morning. Our boss decided to put according to our group. Now it's a big mess and chaotic, the whole morning was all wasted packing and re-arranging everything again. I'm not a happy man now!

On friday, I was supposed to work as usual and attend a very important meeting. It was a meeting I anticipated and looked forward about it, but I came down with a flu. I wanted to blame the movie that I watched ( Cloverfield ). But it gave me a minor migrane, hardly a reason for me to get a flu. I am still wondering if my supervisor would have thought that I might actually made an excuse to avoid the meeting. Which I am not! But I also anticipated it to be a difficult meeting and most of the attendees are bosses and managers. The agenda is my project and how it to execute smoothly. As all project goes, nothing really goes as per plan. That maybe the reason that I don't follow my plans or stick to it. Because I am so used to be disappointed about the plan that I make that I sometimes think, what is the use in the first place. Anyway, I'm okey now, a little headache every now and again. It is kindda difficult to pretend feeling okey infront of company, but sometimes I can get qui...

On Thursday night, after work and packing my stuff from my uncle's place and hanging out with my good friend/brother and finally picking up Amir. He told me that we're watching Cloverfield at 10pm. So after sending Amir home, I made my way home. Redz and Kayoy were already at home, and asked me what I wanted to do. I told them that I was hungry, no, starving, so we went to the Qlap Mall's food court to grab some food. Not long it was nearly 10pm and one by one our friends arrived. When we were about to pay, the cute lady told us, it will be headache inducing, she also mention that the movie was like the Blair Witch Project, only using a handycam throughout the movie. We went along with it anyway, it couldn't be that bad, right? WRONG! It was that bad. Actually there were many times that I found myself looking at the people below me, not watching the screen. It gives you motion-sickness without you moving an inch. The lady was right. But what was is the verdict...

After dropping off my car pool mate at the office, I drove to my office to reflect what the day will bring to me. From my last post, I realised that I have to face the music and dreading what will be the outcome of my meeting. Fortunately, it went well. It is like lifting a mountain of doubts in your head and you can feel the sun shining on your face. Everything is crystal clear what needs to be done. Almost all grey area have been identified and action parties will be nominated to ensure everything is well in black and white. But of course, not all are clear, but know we have identified all known parties. I'm very far from getting there, but surely it's getting there. If , When my project becomes successful that will be my chance to get the second promotion that I am eyeing on. It will be a difficult road ahead. But am hopeful that I could do this. So more things to come my way... Will be requiring a lot of help! Until then... Adios Amigos...

Somehow, I'm not feeling it today. Perhaps it was the anti-climax that my friend Amir had just reminded me that today is Wednesday. I actually am dreading Thursday, I have a kick-off meeting which I am totally not looking forward to. (I want to get it over and done with!) I thought today is Thursday. (Perhaps, Amir had just realised that I am far from the weekend than I expected! - he he) The office seems a little colder and quieter. Despite with the walls being taken down, all I can hear is the occasional phone calls being answered, the continuous keyboard tapping, and the same ol' MP3 songs that my colleague is playing on his desktop. I keep repeating in my mind that boredom is just a state of mind and that I can change it. But, I wish I could. I'm tired of looking at excel spreadsheets all morning and afternoon. It's bloody clerical. (Calm down, calm down!) Okey, let's divert this energy to a positive one. This friday is our departmental End of Year...

It was a slow crawl of less than 1km in 30mins. Today was ridiculously slow, it took me more than 2 hours to get to the office. I am not one to enjoy chain smoking, but goodness me, 3 ciggies later, I was still stuck! What pisses me off, was the road was clear! Traffic could easily pass through. I could appreciate drivers slowing down as a precaution, but MOVE, tailbacks were reported to be as far as Telisai. The accident occured near the Liang Mosque. That's more than 15kms tailback. That is totally absurd! Ridiculous! Rant Over! Drive safe everyone! Till then, Adios... Note: Blogging using my mobile, zoom in the picture to see the traffic jam! Ridiculous!

It's the weekend and still laptop less. So here blogging with my mobile, after having a great time with my friends post dinner and taboo game with my ciggy at De Fountain Cafe, enjoying a ciggy or two (or three). I know its bad and lately having for you but sometimes you need see the other side of the fence. Have you ever think that at times, you know its bad for you but still do it? Leave it up to you to decide and tell me about it, until then adios amigos!

There will be a quick break from blogging for a little while. I have sold off my laptop. There is an interesting story about selling my laptop. My mind tells me that I wanted to sell it for $1,200. But in the advert, I have put in $1k. I have no clue why I typed in $1k instead. This is the second time that my brain and my fingers have a mind of their own. The first time it happened was when I was about to withdraw $50 off the ATM. Instead I typed in $300. I have no clue why I typed in the ATM of that amount. It still puzzled me till this day. I think my fingers have a mind of its own. One day, it will take over my body. So anyway, I will make a move on now. Will try to update my blog using my friends' laptop. Till then... Adios!

Contradicting my diet plans, a friend brought me out for lunch at the unlikeliest place, and it turns out to be a great place, and it reflects on the food. The atmosphere was great, and as more patrons entered. It is apparent to us that it is indeed a hidden treasure, the place is called Indah Damai next to Eng Hong along Jalan Maulana... Check it out! Am blogging with my mobile, and does not get any commission by telling you this. By which I should, really! - tehe Till then... Adios!

Yesterday, I forgot to mention about a bloody topic. On Sunday, after 2200hrs, I had to go on fast until the next day. I took some water though, our blood and urine samples were taken to take part under our department's HLP (Healthy Lifestyle Programme). The HLP is an excellent initiative organised by our department. I don't know when the results of our blood and urine tests are publish (not for all to see, of course). But I can't wait what my cholesterol, HDL and glucose status are. (So that I can do something about it) After our blood samples have been taken, the office went bizarrely empty. Everybody was on fast that night and everybody was absolutely femish. So we all went for breakfast. It just had to be done. I know some of us thinks that we shouldn't go out for breakfast during office hours. But then again, once in a while, why not? I am a flexible guy. UNLESS, an important agenda or matter is needly and urgently to be resolved, then, breakfast might have to w...

On Sunday, I woke up a little late again. Damn that PSP. I played that damn thing until 3am, I am absolutely addicted to it. So, at about 11am we woke up to get ready to run my errands. Since Redz is running his own errands, we decided to do it together. First of the all, lunch was on our agenda. Our friend Amir wanted to have lunch at Taurean 3, because not only he was hungry for food, he was also hungry for information. Laptop, nowadays, are as important as mobile phones. We're always hungry for information. And it does come in handy. Redz has his heart set on rice for lunch. So, we rendezvous at CA Mohd Kiulap. And indeed it was a perfect lunch, we all ate everything on the plate. It was a good idea. Perhaps we were all a little hungry. Fuel was the next stop. The indicator lights already went off the night before. But as everything else, my fuel is much more important - tehe... Amir went his own separate agenda, and not long, Kayoy grace us with his company to run our...

I have planned today to be a productive day. As per discussion with my car pool companion, savour the weekend. I was supposed to be going window shopping for a new laptop. My current laptop is for sale. And a buyer will be taking the laptop on Wednesday. I have set my eyes on the new HP Pavillion Tablet and it is on sale at QQ/Bilster at Dome. Well, it's ex-Dome now. Dome went bust a few months ago. So perhaps I will be doing that tomorrow. I have a manicure which is long overdue. It takes a while for me to type nowadays (my nails are in the way, so I tend to mistype). This thing is nothing new with me. Some people think it is a feminine thing to do. But hey, there's nothing wrong with having good nails. I didn't get it at first why do we need to manicure, but after my sister insisted and paid for my first manicure and pedicure as a birthday gift, there was no turning back. Seriously, it feels so good after a manicure and a pedicure. I spent the whole morning ...

From my last blog, I mention about our office going through some renovation. Actually this renovation was to accomodate 2 more personnel in our office, which requires 3 walls to knock down and many of our table re-organised and re-re-organised for the 'n'th time. During this weekend, one more wall will be torn down. By then probably we'll get more space and probably get settled in. Besides, on Monday will be a full house in the office. Everybody will be back from their long office leaves. So today, we were trying to move tables around. But one office colleague wants certain things his way. So we spent the half of the morning and all afternoon re-organising the tables over and over again. And now, we're still not settled in. Since the weekend is approaching near. I have decided to wind down and not get too comfortable with my own seating arrangement. I over look the door which is quite distracting and is a little awkward. But anyway, like the title of this blo...

I don't know if it is just me, or it's the weather, it's just too damn cold in the office. The office has just undergone renovation, a case of two becomes one. And so the office is twice noisier and colder. Been suffering with migrane the whole morning. Now feeling okay, but more like hungry now! Ok gotta leave office now. Till then, Adios

*punch*punch* "Tumbuk Toni! Tumbuk Toni! Tumbuk!" ("Punch Toni! Punch Toni! Punch!") *punch*punch* That was what I was doing at the countdown to 2008. We were engross playing on Wii that Aedy and Azim brought to our New Year party celebration. It was hilarious. Toni who is the most graceful one of the group, trying hard to punch. But he managed to knock 'me' out once. Other games brought was Pictionary (which we didn't play, everybody was exhausted from laughing and screaming) and Taboo (which ended the night). Simply put. 2008 came in a punch. Literally. I had a blast. I had a brilliant time. I had fantastic fun. The host was Dreamweaver . I was the chief BBQ chef for the night. Whilst everyone was bringing more food. Redz did the marinate for the chicken and lamb. He basically prepared everything which I was supposed to do. Which makes me mad. I was actually really looking forward to make the marinate and preparing the chicken and lamb. He did it all...

2007 came and left us. So what did it brought you? Are you looking forward for 2008? Happiest moment : Promotion Confirmation Saddest moment : Too many to think off.. Historical moment : 4 trips to Thailand in a year Funniest moment : Also too many to remember Darkest moment : A moment to be forgotten 2007 has got to be the craziest year I have ever been through. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and events most likely to be forgotten. But it also brings me quite an amount of luck and happiness. Persevere was the lesson I learnt from 2007. But I am a hopeful man. I know that there is more to come. Good things to come. 2008 will be great. In fact, it is....
