Apple is in bumi bertuah malaysia

i was quite happy when they announce that you can order mac online in malaysia..at least my wish came through..even though i never had any mac materials before, but i crave for one since back in 2002..but yet i'm still far from achieving my goal...my own macbook...but now my target is getting nearer since i change job... i think i'll reconsider the imac...hmm i need it to edit all my photography...isn't it cool to have your big apple....hihi

i thought of buying the macbook early next year, but since i got a new laptop from my new company, the Dell Latitude d430, i cancelled my plans coz right now i already got my super cool compaq and also this dell...i dont think buying a macbook is money frenzy rite now since i got 2 laptop kan?? takkan la nak ada 3 laptop lak...

so sekarang nie tak salah la kalau nak reconsider imac..20 inch imac..cool siot... hmm dah la i fedup waiting for that iphone 3g...i wont be spending my money ridiculously la....3k for a phone...takpe la...thanx but no thanx....

go and view the apple online store coz something unique is that u can engrave on it..so kalau agak2 nak kasi hadiah ke ape ke, leh la ....hmm i think i'll replace the bag with the ipod..interesting...

well, embrace the moment la...

Where art thou?

hmm today is friday, yeay... cukuplah seminggu aku keje kat opis baru nie...sedar tak sedar dah nak cuti weekend dah...seronot nyer...

today is her birthday...

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you"

hmm didn't prepare anything..semalam plan nak gi carik kad, coz hadiah dier gagal dikesan...kena tempah tak leh, so kena tunggu barang tu wujud balik la...

hmm tapi nak beli kad pun gagal coz semalam hujan selebat2 nya...so tak leh nak beli kad gak...even semalam balik lambat from office...

this evening i will be waiting for her and we'll be having our dinner together-gether...

enuff bout this evening..lets talk about last 1 hour ago.. sekarang is 2.45pm baru jerk masuk keje balik after the friday prayers...

it took me about 15 minutes to reach the office from KLCC..walking babe...slow n steady...takmo rushing,nnt penat..penat n tak larat....kenapa KLCC? KLCC kan ada masjid as-syakirin...

so tadi i took the opportunity to meet up with Mr J. hmm who is this misterious Mr J??

he is my friend back in the Uni..................ten...ten..ten... hehe...(name of university is to be disclosed)..supposedly was planning to meet up with Mr R, Mr B n Mr J, tapi keadaan menggagalkan niat, so i only had the opportunity to meet up with Mr J. After prayers, we had lunch at Wisma Sentral....we had a long chat...sedar2 dah kul 2.15..its time to head back to the office...

where is my route??

My office - Wisma Cosway - X building (tak tau nama building) - KL Convention Centre - Taman KLCC - Masjid...

p/s: cant wait to meet her up this evening...

Success!!

Yeay, yesterday after travelling from office to the Monorel Dang Wangi and walking towards my potential customer's office at Safuan Plaza...its all worth it...the heavy bag of custom album and the sticky book set makes me wonder whether should i be driving here or just use the monorel...nevermind lor...

i shoot of from work at 12.45pm and head towards her office and managed to reach there at 12.58pm..its lunch hour...so after waiting for her about 5 minutes..she came down...

"jom makan dekat kopitiam tu, kat sana selesa, tak ramai orang so senang nak tengok album"

ok, so another 5 minutes of walking...adoi!!...penat la... yet another nevermind from me...i hope i can close this deal...

after reaching the kopitiam..we sat down at the corner and start introducing to each other.....such us how did she get our number, what do she do for a living, where she lives, what does her fiancee does, and the most important thing is her wedding date...hmm i hope it doesnt clashes with anything..pray pray..

hmm its on the 7-8th of March 09...yikes...hmm i think were booked on that date...i immediately call my partner to double check our schedule..it seems like we have been booked on that day...hmm no problem...we can still seal this job....she will be helding her reception inside a hotel in kl (name to be disclosed)...

After browsing through the custom album and the sticky, she said "OK la, i book you guys"..

YEAY!!...its a deal

so we agreed upon the pricing and she will pay upfront the booking fees...

i had penang hor fun for lunch and she had penang char keow tiaw. After chit chatting and getting to know her well, we depart as the lunch hour is closing in..

yesterday evening around 5pm i got a sms from her stating she will be paying 50% upfront...thats even better...

thats the story of another succesfull deal for next year wedding photography job..it has been a successfull long run business for us...

if the readers have plans to do your wedding next year, do treat the importance of photographers as high as you treat your mak andam coz u can easily get dissapointed if your photographers are fully booked..

we are here to stay.. visit us at www.exposuredistortion.com or blog.exposuredistortion.com

Painful Moments Adoi!!

Hey, i didnt wrote this, my friend si lipas sepi wrote this...hmm kinda interesting you know...

Everyday I live my life at a breathtaking pace.
The breathtaking pace goes up a notch when I am late for work as I walk to the office and today was especially breathtaking as I had to climb several flights of stairs.

Ahh yes the exciting life of an Engineer.
Chicks, babes and bling-bling things are a daily affair for us,
Checking out hot babes.... Through the internet...
Listening to Gangsta rap through YouTube getting all ghetto and shit. And sometimes it get's so heated up at the office they would turn on loud techno music and we would have a somewhat mini rave party.. Dancing and grooving between the cubicles, capacitors, servers and wearing a pair orange slippers.

Anyway...
By being this kind of a socialite I have compiled through stories and experiences situation when it seems harmless and amount to nothing much on the surface but pretty painful inside for a guy. Words and sentences uttered by a girl in which may seem harmless and even thoughtful which cause more harm than any good. You might not get it for now but I think things would clear up once you read the examples.... On which we call Painful Moments......


Painful Moment 1

Scenario : A conversation over an internet messaging system

Guy : So I heard you broke up
Girl : Yeah I am so tired of these normal ones, find me a playboy?
Guy : What's up with that?
Girl : I want someone that's not too attached to me and are pretty good with sweet talks and stuff.
Guy : hmm.... How about Chayson(not his real name)? He's pretty player and since he knows you well he sure knows how to pamper you and stuff.
Girl : Naah..
Guy : Why?
Girl : Well... We hang our alot and do thing together and I like him. But he is my friend and I appreciate him so I dont want to ruin that you know. He is really nice and stuff.

ADOI PAIN!!! for Chayson. Being Appreciated does not sound sexy! I am pretty sure Chayson would rather be called a sexy non committed asshole than an appreciated friend.


Painful Moment 2

Girl -
"I really like talking to you, you know what to say and really understand me. I think you are very WISE.."

ADOI PAIN!!! for wise person.
Come on when one say WISE the things that comes to the mind would be long bearded old man sitting on a hill spewing out things using fancy words. When was the last time you heard someone get shagged because he was so wise.

Wise = Gandalf, Yoda and Aristotle. Not Sexy.


Painful Moment 3

Girl talking to another girl
"You know when I was in the dumps he was there when everyone else was gone. He helped find my way back. He is like my rock and he was there listening to me and consoling me like a father figure."

ADOI PAIN!!! Father Figure... Seriously I have not met a chick who liked someone because he reminds her of her DAD! A guy would rather be called an asshole than a fatherly figure.


Painful Moment 4

Girl -
"Thank you for helping me out, you're like the brother I never had!"

ADOI PAIN!!! Unless she is into incest or a hufe fan of a comic series called Super Taboo chances are you are screwed my friend.

Painful Moment 5

Girl : Thank you for helping me out.
Guy : Nah don't sweat it. It's nothing.
Girl : No seriously it's a very nice thing you did for me. You are like the nicest guy that I know.

ADOI PAIN!!! Remember kids, Nice Guys Finish Last. Yeah she thinks you are a nice guy and guess what nice guys get... A thank you card and a heart shaped chocolate with the writing "Friends Forever"


Painful Moment 6

Girl -
"You know, whoever that ends up with you someday would be a very lucky girl indeed."

ADOI PAIN!!! Yes sparky, it's a hint that says "apparently I am not lucky enough." Bad Luck for you.


Other Painful Phrases and term that one should try their best to avoid.. If you have a somewhat feelings to that particular lady.

Best Friend
Someone I can talk to
Someone I really respect
Can't we be friends instead
Godfather
A shoulder I can lean on
Shopping Buddies


So I hope you have learned something new today and feel free to share any stories or experience feel free to share it here. Either you are at the receiving end or the person who unknowingly dealt a blow of Painful Moment but just realised it today.

Till Then.............

P/S
Do you know chicks actually dig guys who can play musical instruments. Unless of course you play the Trumpet or trombone and no, being in a marching band does not count either.

Where do you stand in this world??

i got this from a chain mail...a point to ponder heh...

THE BRICK

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag’s side door!

He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver
then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, ‘What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money Why did you do it?’

The young boy was apologetic. ‘Please, mister…please, I’m sorry but I didn’t know what else to do,’ He pleaded. ‘I threw the brick because no one else would stop…’ With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. ‘It’s my brother, ‘he said ‘He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.’

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, ‘Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.’

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. ‘Thank you and may God bless you,’ the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: ‘Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!’ God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don’t have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It’s our choice to listen or not.

Thursday morning

today i drove to work..huhu..first time driving early in the morning entering the hustle and bustle of KL town..since this month school holiday already started, so supposedly there should be no jam or what so ever...

for the past few years ( actually i'm just exaggerating coz the real thing is only 2 1/2 yrs) it was only 5 minutes drive (inclusive of the traffic) to reach my old office..i like the concept of working near to home...tak payah nak risau pasal jem, bangun lambat coz its near from my home..but now i need to wake up early and go to work coz right now i'm using LRT to go to work (exclusive today and 2moro).... hmm i wish i have a motorcycle..

back to the topic, the route to my office now is that is either i take the AKLEH (Ampang Ulu Klang Elevated Highway) or i stick to Jln Ampang to go to my office..hmm today, i was feeling lucky, i choose the normal no toll way...jalan ampang...which is fammiliar in the radio either Hot fm, Era, Hitz fm, Fly fm stating jalan sibuk disekitar jalan masjid india, jln ampang, jln maharajalela..yada...yada...yada...

no jam!!!(as expected becoz of school holiday maa!!)

hmm the tricky part comes in..where to park my mum's white car ( we switched car since last couple of months back)..hmm i miss my car...

there are a few selections to park the car...hmm one is near the KLCC convention centre, in front of pavillion, and another one is besides bangunan cosway...so i choose the one besides bangunan cosway...

i open the window at the parking guard ( berapa sekali masuk??....rm9)...yikes....never mind loh..passing by....i made a u-turn (mahal ooi...)....then i made another turn through jln yap kwan seng and try to park at the opposite road (in front of pavillion)... rm 7..hmm still expensive coz KLCC convention centre is only rm 6 but the walking distance is further a bit...then another one is near jln imbi (the furthest of them all but the cheapest) is rm5....so which one do you guessing i'll take??...

teeet....wrong answer!!!

i took the one in front of pavillion..rm7...apesal mahal sangat parking nie!!...tapi nak buek camno??pueh den pusing takdo yang murah...dulu gi kojo takyah nak poning2 carik parking... den gak yang carik sobab...ekekeke....

hmm why did i drove today???

intermission

let me explain to you....

today i got a lunch appointment with a client..she's getting married on march next year...so she is searching for a wedding photographer...she got our name through her aunt which is a friend to our previous customer...through high recommendations nie...

i told her that we need to make an arrangement for her to view and appreciate our product in order for her evaluate and make her decisions...coz yes you can still view it through our website and our blog, but the actual thing is actually different from the pictures...

so today during lunch hour i need to meet up with her at Menara Safuan Jln Dang Wangi..i hope we can secure this job...

end of intermission

back to the topic...

i reached office at 8.15am..its still early...it took me about 1/2 hour from home to reach the car park and about 5 minutes to reach the office..

i still havent had my breakfast yet..so i'm going now..

till then...cheers

PURR....FECT

Today i started working at my new place..Its in the bermuda triangle...ehh, the place where bkt bintang - jln sultan ismail- raja chulan resides...alaaa....demm...cant ingat what its call..."something triangle"...ohh yes...gold triangle <---direct translation dowh... -segi tiga emas

Hmm my journey started at 6.20am.. woke up and perform my prayers n -mandi , then i went to work exactly at 7am.. whaah.. -giler punctual... trying to catch the first good impression...hihi...

I walk towards Putra LRT ( disclosed station) and hoping to catch an empty train...lucky me la..this morning was raining, so many commuters prefer to go by their own transport...but not me, -aku berikrar untuk menggunakan public transport pada hari pertama masuk kerja..

at the station, (it was way back since i use public transport) i saw many people queing up the line to enter the lrt even before the lrt came..wahh, malaysian are becoming so -tersusun , oh well, ikut kan ajer la...so i queud up and waited for the train to come...

About one-two minutes of waiting, the train came..so berpusu-pusu la people came in, and i managed to squeezed in.
Stesen berikut nyer... Dang Wangi..next station Dang Wangi..

Yeay!!!... i finally reached Dang Wangi, so my next stop is Monorel Bukit Nanas.. I need to walk about 5 minutes to reach there...

intermission

- Amatlah bodoh bagi pihak ker**aan kerana menyediakan infrastruktur yang tak tersusun..fyi, lrt kat negara nie ada 3 jenis, STAR, Putra, Monorel... kesemua ini di pegang oleh 3 bangsa besar di malaysia... cina, melayu, india.. i dont care sape yang pegang apa...but the fact is...kenapa sibuk buat tapi tak fikirkan pasal rakyat..stupid people... kenapa tak integrate kan kesemua nya and let them lines interconnect with each other...kenapa negara lain boleh, kenapa kita tak boleh...even the so called kl sentral pun monorel tu sesat kat luar building...funny...arghhh....politics suxx...

btw, i'm typing with the company's laptop...its a slim laptop, tapi i still prefer my Compaq laptop coz the keyboard arrangement is much more nicer...even the touchpad boleh disabled, but not this laptop....

end of intermission

after reaching Sultan Ismail station, i walk towards my office...dang!!.. the clock showd 7:46 am.. i supposed to lapor diri at 9 am...i still got a lots of time before that...so what to do ek??

i called her, she said...go n search the -surau and a place to eat la -sayang...hmm thats a good idea..

so i went and ask the -pakcik cleaner for the designated places... -adik boleh pergi tingkat 11 untuk ke surau..tapi kena naik lift bomba untuk ke surau ataupun naik tingkat 12 lepas tu turun tangga...kalau nak makan, dekat belakang bangunan nie ada kedai makan, kalau nak kedai mamak pun ada....so i said -terima kasih

so i start my next journey to the kedai mamak...since i bought my breakfast already, i just ordered a drink and had my breakfast while reading the newspaper... the headline " YOGA BANNED!!"

after i had my breakfast, i head towards the office..

ting... level 16...

i report to duty to the HR... i was given this laptop..DELL Latitude D430.. i wish it was a MAC...

i was de-briefed about the company...yada...yada...yada....hmm but the most interesting part...this company who supplied and maintained the maxis caller ringtone service....the back end system was done by us...

after that, i was showed to my new desk, my own cubicle...bigger than before...i still like small....coz its cozy...but now its bigger....not better....

got my own extension line....

@ 1 pm i went out for lunch...since its near to Bkt Bintang, so i planned to go there..but first, i head down to level 11 and perform what i needed to do first....

around 1.15 i started my project...my objective is to find Bagman sling bag for camera...it was supposed to be a suprise birthday present..hihi...i went down searching for that bag...but all shops said -sulah abis ....alamak

feeling dissapointed....i head back towards the office...

Started reading the documentations, manuals for the software...my colleague told me that i need to study it, learn and fammiliarize with it by this week coz next week he will be bringing me to the client site....

Okay...

reading..reading...reading.....borring...-ngantuk.. only around 5 i realised and understand what did i read..and the things got more interesting...

but i need to go for my prayers...so do the usual stuff...head towards level 11 and yada..yada...yada....

i entered back the office around 5.20...after reading it as it gets more interesting, the HR manager called me...

"lets go, i'll introduce you to all the staffs, ok..."

after all the introduction, as i was about to start studying.... the clock showd 5.58pm... its time to go back!!!

so i start packing...closing this laptop... and head towards the monorel and hoping to clash into her in the LRT at Dang Wangi as we promised to meet up in the evening...

i reached LRT Dang Wangi at 6.20pm and switch to Putra LRT and head towards home...

well, this is my journey today...
