Updates updates

Pheww...
World cup is over...
Work is giving me alot of pressure...
My dad is sick...
Alot goin on in my life currently, thats why I haven't been able to blog
Ok lets go through this one at a time

World cup 2006
It was great! Viva Italia =D
Got some extra cash from it ;) if ya know what I mean
And I got myself a Soni Elikson W810i handphone... courtesy of WC2006 :D~
(now how to take a photo of my phone, using my phone???)

Work...work... WORK!
As mention in the prev post I have taken on a new role at work
2 days on the job I was "thrown" into another team with a totally different role!
As they always say... our company is a very fast paced company, changes happen juz like that
So what do I, a technical person, have to do? Besides being a technical support guy for
the level 1 agents, now I have to take on the role of a team leader as well.
What do I have to do? Chase people to answer calls faster, shorter talk times, faster
resolutions, no snaking :P I think u get the idea if you're workin in a call center.
Its not really that bad but... its all too sudden... so abit hard for me to digest actually
Lets hope things get better and I go back to my old role :) or worst come to worst
I stick to the same role :)

About my dad, his heart got blocked 60% + diabetes (high sugar level) + high blood pressure...
So... he had to go for an operation to get the blockage resolved...
Its called balloon, why they named it that in the first place?
Now let me explain, what happens is they have to find the main veins that pump to ur heart.
From there they put in a stem slowly, from ur leg up till inside ur heart... scary but
thank God everythin went ok... my dad is now at home resting

There's alot of small things that has happened but dont think I can update anyore till later
See ya take care

Jail Sentence Ends Tomorrow 30th June 2006

Ahhh~~~ I smell the sweet sweet smell of freedom already!
After being in prison for 2 years 2 months and 22 days at last it all comes to an end.
I think you dont know what I'm talking about... its my job
I'm free from taking all those crappy calls I get everyday, finally my new role will commence
on Monday. Everything seems very good for me this year and I hope it continues.

Come Monday, new role, new team, new tasks BUT I am starting to get worried bout this.
I'm worried that I might not be able to cope or handle the new tasks very well.
I'm also worried that the guys in the new team might not be able to accept me and
might not respect for the role that I am about to take because most of them are seniors
as well and most of them applied for the post as well.

Very worried. Lets juz hope that I can get along with them and we can all work as a team.

Anyways main purpose for this blog is... KEEBS, WHERE IS MY TAMBUN DINNER???

Please pray for me that I will be able to get along with my new team and cope with
my new job! ^_^

Interview

Today I was at a hotel in Penang doing a walk in interview for my company.
Was with there with the HR people and of coz my colleagues.

I was only there half day but it was fun. Free lunch sux!
The buffet dinner and lunch looks the same... disappointing!

Anyways interviewing people is really fun...
You get to ask anythin you want and they have to answer.
The funniest thing that happened was this...
At the end of this guys interview, we gave him a chance to ask us back anything
he wanted... like a chance for him to know the job and all that.
Guess what he said to me?

I have nothing to ask but I want to say, your hair is very nice and I like it alot.

My goodness? Was he trying to mengampu or is he hitting on me? BBM detected :P
Boy that really freaked me out... well anyways I let him pass to the final interview
Hahaha~
So next time if got interview again... polish my shoe kau kau I let you pass~~~

Wifi In Ma Crib

Yo peepz :P
Sounds so not me, hehe.
Well, I'll juz stick to "Greetings keebs and Lingz" coz you 2 are
the only people reading and posting comments in my blog!
Heck... how to get more people to read what I crap here?
Even though its only to vent some anger here sometimes but if nobody
is reading it... I dont feel it happening :P

Ops... side track di, back to the topic "Wifi In Ma Crib".
I've got wireless~~ woohooo~
Bought a Linksys WRT54G for RM225 from Bukit Jambul.
Its great! It looks wonderful with its blue and black casing.
And at the front there's a very cool CISCO emblem that lights up!
How cool can that be :D Maybe not for tech lovers... but its cool for me.
Installation was a breeze, took me left than 5 minutes to connect the
cables and click Next multiple times and also not forgettin to
setup WPA2 to secure me network.

*WPA2 - Wi-Fi Protected Access™



See the amber light on the most left? thats the CISCO emblem :D


Now you guys must be thinkin "Alvin is so freakin rich and has no
where to spend his freakin money! Instead of treating me to
eat mamak he spends it on a wi-fi router."
Wrong! I got the router becoz I didnt want to cable my whole
freakin with network cables when I have plaster ceiling.
So sensibly getting the wi-fi router solved all my worries.

Broken Tail

Here's how it looks like. I know its not serious but still its my car's first accident.















Also the other day on my way back I saw something very ridiculous.
It gave me good laugh and kept me awake getting home from work.

Forced to blog - Peer pressure

Hello
I am blogging now becoz I am forced to by a fren... again...
Well I havent been updating becoz I'm really busy this week and last week.
I juz got home from work, working 7am to 6pm and today mcb some huan nah
bang my car and my tail light is gone. And he's paying me 100 bucks for it.

Demn life is stressful so this blog is gonna be short.

1. Thursday and Friday was at Perlis for a frenz wedding. Its so nice to see him and his wife getting married coz they've been together since form 3 thats like 10 years now.
A relationship that can last so long as a bf & gf is amazing to me. My relationships never
go more than 2 years mark. Sorry no photos to post for the wedding but here are some
photos of the homestay motel my fren rented for us.

2. Next day my fren took us to Gua Kelam. Its a mining tunnel since 1850! Its 370 metres
long cave road. At the end its like going in to another world, imagine Jurassic park, sort of lar.
Its quite an experience for someone who has never been into any caves :P Oh yeah he also
took us for some Perlis famous "tua pow" - big pau? Yeah rite next time he comes to
Penang he's gonna eat Penang famous roti bangali.



3. I felt bored with life seing my fren getting married. I wanted something new as well!
No I did not get any new gf I juz dyed me hair. Consists of 3 colors. Brown, copper & gold.
Only for RM120. Done at AVER @ Krystal Point II. I feel its abit too bright for me but ok lar...
Here's how I looks likes nows. If too tukau please inform me.

This is what the dude use to er... mud my hair...

4. 666 - The Number of the Beast is really EVIL. Went to watch The Omen on 6th June as well.
I hated kids before this but after watching The Omen, dem, I hate kids EVEN MORE.
I dont wanna have kids because when I was small I was evil, so I guess my kid will be the same.
Anyways 666 is bad, next day met with an accident on my way to work.
Nothing serious but my tail light is broken now. Original cost around RM130 plus minus.
Other than that everything is great in my life! I juz have a streak of bad luck.
3 colleagues did not come to work today.
5 people to take 250 calls. Wonderful.
I love my job!

There's always a first time... even when you dont know how

Yesterday marks the first day I've ever changed car tyres =)
It also marked the first day I got sick in my new home.

I was sick for goodness sake but still what to do... a hero has got to do what he has to
My gf's tyre was punctured... how could I not help?
She's pretty lucky, no i dont mean coz she has I know there are alot more nicer guys than me,
but lucky in a sense that I was sick on that day and I did not go to work...

So she called, "Dear, my tyre punctured, can you help?"
Me, "ME? Right person or not? Me techie no mechanicie!"
Well fine... as her man I walked out... first thing I thought of was to get the jack.
Opened up the back, found the jack but heck its stuck! How do you freakin remove it?
After trying to figure it out for a FEW minutes then I knew... its a freakin jack!
You have got to undo it as in make it go down first... damn how stupid can I be!
Well that was the only hard part... removed it... jacked up the car and changed tyres.
After I finished my gf said something very remarkable... "Dear, you're not going to change
the rims ah?". Me, "???", stares at her... haha...

Well thats the end of my story... oh ya... I was sick coz I got flu and I have a lil hole
in my throat :) Needs 2 weeks to recover :)
I talk too much at work... gotta find a work that requires silence from me.

A Place to call HOME

Today marks another milestone in my life.
I now have a place to call my home apart from the home (my parents home)
that I have been living in for the past 25 years.
Well today is a very memorable day for me.
Long long ago when I was like 16 or 17 I think, my mom remembers this as well!,
I asked my mom "mama mama, when did you bought our house?".
She replied "28 years old lor, why?" then I said, "I'm gonna beat ya! I'm gonna get one at 25!".
Hah! And now I've done it... and my mom suprisingly remembers I said that to her...
Pretty bad for me huh?
But buying this is not something I force to happen it juz happens to be a coincidence
that I find a house and buy it at age 25... I dont even remember it till my mom mentioned it.
Hahaha... pretty cool coincidence eh?
Ok now the real deal...
Frenz and family who are reading this, as you know poor me is still very young and boh lui $$$
Please prepare a sum of money not less than RM300 for house warming party.
If you think that you will avoid coming to my house for the party and givin me the money,
think twice... most of you... I KNOW YOU CAR PLATE NUMBER AND I HAVE 20 CENTS!

Thank you for reading this and I will allow 30 days for you to save the money.

Oi, Updating my blog, alvinthegreat

First of all I have nothing to blog about but becoz of my frenz comment
"Oi update your blog lah alvinthegreat" so I will FORCE myself to blog this entry.

This photo was taken about 2 months ago when I was on my way back to BM.
Its actually before Bandar Perda (from Bukit Tengah roundabout), juz a lil
bit after the Mobil petrol station.
Words are useless... hah saying that now I think I got something extra to say...
there's 1 new hire in my team and I'm in charge of coachin her...
whatever I say she will say "sure ah?", "correct or not?", etc.
Rimpeh sipeh tulan her... I tell transfer number XXXX she say, no lar this one meh, not this lar...
PKM CCB TNS... I got agitated and said... "u the senior or me? u teach me or i teach u?"
She only said ... "no la no la..."
Then we were suppose to have a team meeting at 3pm but... usually we have to find room
and wait for L2 or Team Lead to tell us to go only we go... but she early early
aux for meeting liao... sipeh TL again... haiya...
I hope she doesnt read this but if she does... then I hope she knows my meaning...
in a team we have got to have teamwork... if she wants to avoid all the work and calls then
she might probably be in the wrong field already!

Cukup on this let me juz post the picture of what I took...
















Notice the word. "BURGER CONER"

Burger in cones! Hahaha~
Who wants one? Keebs if you are reading this... I know U want one... U ghey boi!

Warung Mak Su - Kuala Juru

This is one of my favourite food places in Bukit Mertajam.
The name of the place is Warung Mak Su, which is located at deep inside Kuala Juru.
I'd draw map to show you all but I'm too lazy at the moment.
Why? Tiring day at work mate, a colleague fell sick and the calls were like Niagara Falls!
As in pouring in non-stop.

Back to FOOD, this stall serves, hmm...

• Mee or Nasi Ketam (Crab)
• Mee or Nasi Udang (Prawns)
• Ikan Panggang (BBQ Fish?)
• Sotong Goreng Tepung (Deep fried squids)
• And many more but those are my favs

Yum yum thinking of it makes me feel hungry.
Price wise its not expensive. A plate of nasi goreng ketam is only around RM7 and you
get 2 crabs =D~~

Here are some photos to make you drooooooool! Nyahaha~

Neebs Punya Shades

It was a Malaysian Public Holiday for Malaysia on 1st May but not for Austrlia.
So if I had went to work I would have earned some nice OT for myself but I decided to
sacrifice the damn money for once just to have some fun and spend sometime with my
good buddies from since secondary school. And I'm glad I did.
I really enjoyed going to the movie and having dinner with them.
It was great...
Anyways as shown in the above title, Neebs Punya Shades, as we were on our way
to Gurney Plaza and in Neebs car of coz, I saw it... his shades! I was like "wow!", in awe.
Those pair of shades are sooooo retro :P Like 80's man...
So I decided to put em on and took a few snaps.
Let me know how it looks compared to the one I have.

New Flower Founded in Cameron

As you all know I juz got back from Cameron.
The shocking news was that they found a new species of flowers.
They said it was a breed of flowers and angry humans.
Can you believe this? Maybe this should be in the Ripleys Archive.































They sure look like very "impatiens" flowers to me =)
Ha ha ha... ok its a sick joke... I have nothing better to do!
I came home around 3pm and I was suppose to go swimming at 6pm
but I fell asleep from 4pm to 8pm... now thats NBTD to me.

Cameronian Holiday

Yo guys
Juz got back from Cameron Highlands, yes again, :D
Nothing much to blog about...
It was juz a trip to get a good rest with my dear
We visited most of the famous spots such as Sungai Palas Boh Tea Farm,
Cactus Farm, Rose Valley, the market, strawberry farm (Kasimanis & Raju Hill).

The things I like about Cameron and keeps me going back again and again is...
1. The COOL weather there
2. The GREEN GREEN view from the Sungai Palas Boh Tea Farm
3. Eating steamboat in such cold weather is TERRIFIC

Here's ONE of the photos I've taken, if you want more please head to HERE, Cameron 2006.
