Korea & Kimchi......

I managed to catch the flight to Korea at the very last minute for the Global Account meeting....It came as a suprise as I'm still in my probation with Samsung, well maybe I'll have my bosses to thank to.....



* It was a transit flight via Singapore...I was pretty excited knowing I will at last step foot in this tiny island......




* But to my dismay, almost every hotel in this mini land was fully booked.....my company HR told me I could not claim if I check-in at Hotel81 or Hotel Fragrance.....WALAUEHHH.....




* In the end I managed to get a room at the transit hotel inside the airport....all thanks to Wong who relentlessly called for enquiries for as long as an hour....got a room for 5 hours at S$100...imagine that...crazy rate for a crazy state....my return flight isn't any different....I would proudly say I SPENT 15 HOURS IN CHANGI AIRPORT without even been to Singapore till date......




* I heard it was snowing the week before in Seoul......but Google was showing 15 degree this week....so I didn't bring much winter clothing to battle the winter....




* Upon reaching, the weather was abour 10 degree.....ever feel like blasting Google??? NOT YET...it was around 5 degree the following day &*($*^%&*(*........any being bald isn't much help either....




* That week, JD was in Ipoh...PW in Penang...while I'm in Korea.....first time seperation was pretty bad....Thank God Papa&Mama took care of JD for the entire week....how sweet.....



* My room....it was a single room suite.......hahaha GohPek...this is what I'm talking about la....not your motel.....must have requirement you know....hahahahaha


* While it was freezing and raining at night, Korean chicks roam the city in MINI SKIRTS......hot and freezing....unbelievable.....


* My agenda there was pretty routine......meeting, dinner & drinks.....meeting, dinner and drinks..........I was lucky enough to get a delayed flight on Saturday.....


* Koreans love drinking......seriously......'Mi Jio Juis Sai Yo'.......hahahaha GET ME A BEER....


* Embarking my 6 hours journey in Korea.........one of the palace........



* Flowers here and there.......pretty clean city though......



* Korean LokLok.....it's around RM6 for a stick....In Ipoh sure kena whack......South's LokLok also not that expensive.....


* But still.....an experience worth trying........fried my phone....haih...need a new phone now.......



* Pretty busy with my month end closing this week......assignment to submit...Final exam on Sunday morning......gilar.....anyway...have a great week ahead people.....

The New Water Filter........

It is not easy being a dad......JD will be away for a week soon....He'll be in Ipoh with his GrandPa and GrandMa......the other lil boy that the babysitter is caring for is down with chicken pox....ishhhh such a bad timing.....it's the beginning of Papa&Mama's nightmare for a week.....

Back to the new filter, to ensure that JD has the best of everything, I've decided to install a water filter in the house.....plain water has never cost the same ever since......wonder how much mineral water I could buy with RM2.7K......I have to admit, I'm the usual victim to all these marketing scam....hahahaha



* JD anxiously waiting for the installation to be completed.......Mummy was so freaking smart by placing JD on my side of the bed.....SALIVA ALERT LAAAAA.....ish ish ishhhhh




* It comes in 3 different temperatures.....Hot, Room and COLD......I will never have to refill my cold water in the fridge ever again.....ahhhhh~~~~





* The only down side to the filter would be its bulkiness......the smaller one comes with a higher price....I will never fall to the same scam TWICE....once is bad enough...hehehe



* Check out the saliva from the lil man.......and it's on my side of the bed.....yerrrrrrrrr~~~~



* With this kinda big fat smile everyday, I don't mind to enslave myself in the corporate world.....have a great weekend ahead people......

An Uneventful Week........

The past week had been pretty regular....I meant it on a good way....laid back while enjoying the quality of life I'm working for....I bought myself a new water filter....that stuff better work as it doesn't come cheap.....

As I was in Sunway Mall with PW and JD, I stumbled upon an antique credit card machine while buying a massage cushion...It has been ages since I last saw one of those.....'KA CHAK KA CHAK'....







* Check it out...they'll place a receipt below the credit card and trace your credit card details to the receipt....





* And then they make you sign the transaction receipt which looks like a cheque.....


I found a nice picture in my cellphone taken a week ago.....Papa and JD taking a nap at Grandma's place.....




* JD is trained to sleep anywhere but the spring cot....it makes my life easier when I bring him around........


Remember sometimes when I joked about eating, I would order shark fin with scramble egg....and guess what....I found a place that actually sells it....I kid you not...check it out....



* The taste was a lil bit doubtful........totally over-rated.......


At the end of the day, I've decided to get myself a decent pair of sneakers.....I got a pair from Papa 7 years ago....and another from JieJie 6 years back......both of those were now in the bin....tore and battled.....




* It comes with a 40% discount tag too....totally worth it...hope it last for another 5 years or so.......Have a great work week ahead people......

Ching Ming...........

You know that time flies when you're at the same yearly ritual again and again.....This week, the chinese are paying their respect to their ancestors aka All Souls' Day aka 'Ching Ming'....Papa and Mama decided to drop by....it has been more than a decade since Mama visit her daddy's grave....



* JD as usual, has no idea what was going on......for him, everyone is there to entertain him...the more the merrier.....


* Due to the traffic on Friday night, we dined at Nando's Autocity......Papa said the hot peri-peri is for kids....tasting nothing more but a lil bit too sour.....I think something is really wrong with Papa's taste bud....hhhmmmmmm


* We headed to Balik Pulau on Sunday morning.......with this kinda umbrella man on duty, we do not fear the strong sun beam no more.......


* This cousin of mine was trying to make a deal with my long gone Grandfather...."Let me win the lottery and I'll buy a roasted pig next year"......I kid you not....it was darn serious......in the end, I lost RM10 to his scheme....huhuhu..I guess Grandpa has no freaking idea who this monkey was....Grandpa has been gone for 40 years anyway......



* My cousins.........




* Thank God the gambling maniac managed to bring back some cold soya bean milk......ahhhh~~~~ What a relieve.......Have a great work week ahead people....

1st April 2010......I'm a GENIUS!!!!

The 1st of April....it's April Fool's day.....Andy called me out for lunch today...I gave him a stern warning.. "Do not call me and tell me you're not coming at the last minute...April Fool..I'm not actually the April Fool kinda guy...you'll die pretty ugly if you do"...Luckily the fella showed up.....
With that I've decided to pull a prank on JieJie and PW....check it out.

Case 1
Victim (PW)
Me: Hey, Papa & Mama are coming over now....
PW: Ohhh...I thought they're coming over tomorrow? Still haven't clean the house.
Me: It's ok.....
PW: I think I'll cancel my leave application.....Papa&Mama can take care of JD on Friday...yahoooooo...
Me: Oi Oi Oi...Don't go cancel your leave la....April Fool laaaa....
PW: %^&*(*&^%$%^&*&^%

Case 2
Victim (JieJie)
Me: Hello....JieJie......I heard KitKit is secretly getting married today.
JieJie: WHATTT??????????????
Me: Papa&Mama is on the way to Melacca to witness the ROM.
JieJie: This is really crazy...who's the bride???
Me: I don't know....
JieJie: I'll call you back later...I need to call KitKit and Mama to find out more....

* JieJie called KitKit.....he didn't pick up. JieJie got more anxious and called Mama instead.....so 10 minutes later.

Me: Hello?
JieJie: %&*(&^%$%^&*(*&^%$%^&*(

I wanted to do the same thing to Papa.....but looking at the condition of his heart, I've decided to call it off...hahahahaha better not take risk....
Moral of the story: I only need 5% of my brain power to make it look so real...

I'm gonna share a lil on the new tattoo that I've gotten recently.....it has always been my dream to get this.....seriously......


* Before.....


* The pain machine...........

* Work in progress.......


* Tadaaaa.........

Me: Hey MC, you sure the tatts will turn out fine?
MC: Hell yeah.....
Me: It better...else I'll tattoo my butt on your face....
