Superboy Originally uploaded by Pablo Latorre . Yeah, yeah, I know the hype of Superman Returns is already over. So last year. So passe. But, I have a bad memory these days. I keep forgetting to post stuff. However, it's still a little relevant as I still see it on TV. If you watch weekend cartoons (I still do, after all these years. Even if I'm reading the papers, I'll turn the idiot box on). There's this one advertisement that really takes the cake of toys these days not leaving anything to children's imaginations anymore: The Superman Inflato-Suit from Mattel Buy it for a tonne of money. Get your kid to wear it. Put in the batteries (batteries not included of course). Turn it on. The fan goes of. Voila, your kid's torso balloons up faster than you can shove steroids down a goose bred for foie gras . In my opinion, this concept would have worked better for Marshmallow Man . However, one can't help but wonder where's the bottom portion of the

Wilted Originally uploaded by Monster. . A gem in my recent keyword activity: can't get it up inexperienced I hope my post actually did some good for somebody. But my usual disclaimers apply of course. :D

:: فن :: Originally uploaded by Ra3ni . Can you believe on blogging from the friggin' office on a sweltering Saturday afternoon?! My stupid system went down for the past two days. The database was acting up. All connections timed out causing a meltdown. I'm now looking at all the logs, but I've come up with nothing significant, except that the database log is a little bloated (thanks to the IT department for changing the scheduled task user password and not notifying, causing my task to be stagnant for months). I've fixed that. Now I'm praying that it'll be good and not cause another fiasco!

bar nun (for slogrl) Originally uploaded by Rakka . Was doing some R&D for work today and came across this. I have to share... Want to get some funny looks in the hallway? Stand around in the hallway near the marketing department with your colleagues and discuss the benefits of using SOAP Bwahahahaha (* Urkel snort *) SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol Mel's right, I'm slowly and surely going over to the Geek Side. Or I am already there in the first place...

BerrydTreasure Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Tried my second non-coffee ice-blended at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (my first was the Malibu thingy) the other day. It was a Berry'd Treasure . Concocted primarily with berries. It wasn't good. Perhaps I should've went with the Sunrise -- every other customer who walked in ordered that (I should know since I sat near the counter for 3 hours that night). In conclusion, don't dig up this berry'd treasure anytime soon. You've been warned. PS: Sorry for the puns. I couldn't help myself.

a a a h h h ! ! ! Originally uploaded by Aelle . My second lesson didn't go too well. This time round, a new instructor, by the name of Gary. Nothing to say about him, except the fact that he ignored after my 45 minutes were up, unlike Roland. So berkira . :P. I was taught the stroke favoured by Kermits everywhere. I started with just the legs. Even then, I couldn't quite get it right. Apparently, my kicks aren't forceful enough to propel me in a decent manner. And when they were hard enough, I tended to move diagonally rather than straight ahead. Pressing his luck, Gary decided to teach me the arm movements as well to see whether I could work it out. But no, I couldn't coordinate myself yet. Haven't quite found my balance. Any tips?

madwoman in the attic Originally uploaded by *raffaella . Having moved to a new project, involving a new system and technology, I have also gotten myself a new project manager. It's widely known that he's not a very popular person in the office, but that's not my complaint.... yet. He irritates me. To be more specific, his overuse of a certain word, *REALLY* irritates me. Let me now unveil that evil word: Per se I for one don't really know what the correct usage of that word is, but something's definitely not right if nearly every single sentence that comes out of his mouth during meetings includes that word. I flinch each time I hear it. If one ringgit is credited into my account each time he says it, I'd be a rich man. Comment a sample sentence. Thanks.

Photo-0084 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Posted along Jalan Raja Chulan in conjuction with the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting. No idea who these people are-- NLD something. People on the street didn't seem to pay these posters any mind. I wonder if Aung San Suu Kyi will ever be free...

060619-rainbow-fire_big Originally uploaded by ruthvickd . At The curve , some nice people from Sahaja Yoga were operating a booth where they offered to do a five minute meditation exercise for free. The purpose seems to be to free up our chakras and enable ourselves to be the conduit of cosmic energy and thus maintaining health and achieving peace. Some people were having laying of hands, aura cleansing kind of gestures. They were being 'tuned' to feel the energy emanating from themselves. We thought, "What the heck. We'll give it a try". They were really having a hard time explaining the concept to us, but we said we'll just go for the practical anyways. It started like this: Practitioner : Put your right hand over your chest. ( We follow ) Practitioner : Look at Mother Mataji's photo. We affectionately refer to her as Mother. She's the founder. Me : What? Practitioner : Beseech Mother to grant you inner peace. My mother and I : What? ( We

Traffic police Originally uploaded by Wam Mosely . Work is getting shitty lately. A transitional period for me. Trading in my previous tasks for something. Something that I've been doing for three years. Time to move on, I guess. Something cooler. However, the learning curve is quite steep and the timeline is short. Discussions going on every day. Trying to come up to speed. And the new site is at Taman Tun. Horrible place to be if one decides to use public transport. People have already asked why I've not gotten a car. Better mobility, zero savings. A liability in exchange for security? Entahlah . I'll work out something soon. I hope.

IMG_1812 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . I recently received my new gadget from the office, a spanking, new Laptop !!! An Acer Aspire 5540. Here are the specs for you to drool over: - Intel Core Duo Processor T2050 (1.6GHz, 533MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache) - 14.1" WXGA CrystalBrite LCD ( boleh bercermin with it) - 2GB DDR2 RAM (!) Luckily it's not too heavy at 2.5kg. I developed a sore shoulder lugging around a previous model. It's supposed to be for work, but I have other plans for it. :P.

Traditional Viagra Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Can't get it up lately? Waning sex drive? Non-existant libido? Distrustful of established pharmaceutical companies? Couldn't care less about double blind tests and FDA approval? Would prefer something more holistic? Well, don't I have the answer for you... UBAT LELAKI KUAT . Just call the number, if you're desparate enough.

mysojamfest Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Lotsa activities at Cineleisure Damansara . Apparently something called the MYSO Jam Fest . A Red Hot Chilli Pepper Wannabe Band Search; Extreme sports; Indoor bball; Rodeo rides ( don't expect the Edie Britt scene from Desperate Housewives, but one plump girl really beat all the others in terms of staying power ); sumo wrestling ( remember when X fought Tim Curry at the pre-Stick Man Fight Party? ); Jousting ( think American Gladiators ) and slipper throwing.

william_quah Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Met William Quah at The Curve as he was doing a promotional junket for Pensonic, AmBank, etc. I've never met him before in person, but I remember him from his early days on TV doing HotTraxx ( or some other music chart show to that effect ). He was really stiff back then. Like a Ken Doll. Later it was on MTV. I remembered he had robotic hand gestures. Like planks had been tied to them. But he's SO MUCH BETTER now. Relaxed. Natural. I expected him to be taller, but he's still taller than me. My friend Mel has seen him hanging around Bangsar and Amcorp Mall, and according to her, dia memang layan adiknya dengan baik . It went something like this: ( The floor was practically devoid of spectators and I was grinning broadly to the side ) William Quah : Blah, Blah, Blah... Would you like to win some prizes from Pensonic? Me : Sure. William Quah : What's your name? Me : William. William Quah : That's a *GOOD* name. Me :

IMG_1798 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Yet another free dinner ( yes, Zemien, another free dinner ) from SK at Kampachi, Equatorial Hotel Bangi . This time due to her raise and a thank you gesture for helping out in her masters ( which I so don't deserve ). Joined by FK and KLT. Two others lepas kapal terbang . It's so hard to get people together these days. The logistics are a killer. Hotel Equatorial looks nice, with it's own garden, ala IOI Resort. Kampachi was quite small, but luckily SK got us a private room upstairs, away from the hustle and bustle. The spread isn't quite as big as I expected. Quite modest. You have the usual, salad bar, teppanyaki & sukiyaki station, tempura station, sashimi and sushi bar, dessert counter and non-japanese fare. Overall the food is good. Not too salty, the tastes are subtle. The sashimi is fresh. The unagi is perfect. Dessert was so-so, but the serve the all-time DOraemon favourite, Dorayaki. The service is above average

Truly Madly Deeply Originally uploaded by eyecatcher . I finally enrolled for swimming lessons at Bukit Jalil Golf Resort . Cost me MYR294.00 (plus tax, no less) for 12 lessons. Entah kena fleece ke apa , but it's the nearest to my place. I went for the 5:00pm lesson and oh, boy, the sun was blazing. I think I caught too much sun, sore throat the next day. Roland's the name of my instructor-- a really tanned uncle ( I know some of my readers would be sorely disappointed ). I was issued a green plastic card. Green as in inexperienced. Lessons started by asking me standard questions of whether I have any experience, afra id of the water ( in case I struggle mightily and rip his eyeballs out in the process ), yadda, yadda, yadda. Too familiarise me in the water, he started by asking me kneel and submerge my face into the water whilst blowing bubbles of air. First the face, then the ears, then the whole head. I got the hang of that pretty quickly, with just one gulp of water to da

IMG_1715 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Celebrated HP's birthday yesterday at Bumbu Bali, Bandar Puteri Puchong . Just the three of us. We were given the honour of celebrating with her on the actual date (with the exception of her colleagues) as her other gang of friends have weeekend do planned for her. The place has a nice ambience to it. Cosy, woody. Open-air concept. The food is mainly BBQ, with the choice of Bali and Western style. They use coconut husks for a more fragrant effect. I can vouch for that s the food sometimes contain the fibres (!). Sauces are not really required, as the grilled food by itself is full of taste, but sometimes a little on the salty side. So it's a good idea to pair it with rice or wash it down with something clear. We ordered the Nasi Campur Special and Seafood Platter. Enough for three. The mixed platter consisted of nasi uduk / nasi kuning , grilled dory (recommended), cuttlefish, chicken, prawns, satay lilit (fish paste over serai s

high 5 Originally uploaded by LUVle . Tagged by Zemien again. Drumroll please......... 10 YEARS AGO I WAS : In Form 4. I was back in Kuantan. Together with JM, we were the famous apple polishers and teacher's pet. We had many society's and clubs under our pinkie. The teacher's gave us full trust! We ruled with an iron fist! Those were the days.... 5 YEARS AGO I WAS : In University (1st Year). Moved to KL. A new chapter in life. Had a great clique of friends who would go to MidValley at the slightest break between classes and frequently have Keropok Lekor & Pisang Goreng sessions at the cafeteria. Unfortunately, we have mostly gone our own way now. 1 YEAR AGO I WAS : Working at the same job that I had joined when I first graduated. Many people have asked why I was still staying on. I asked myself the same question. I'm still here and I think I begin to see why. YESTERDAY I WAS : Running between 2 client sites. Crappy work problems. And I just found out that I have

pre-dinner Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Last weekend was a very busy couple of days. The day after the treasure hunt , I had go through another gruelling day at a charity dinner. My mother talked me into helping out. Had to get there by 3:00pm. My sister, bro-in-law, SK and HP also lended their hands. Upon reaching the venue, we found out that there's actually no *REAL* work to be done!? WTF?! Then why call for volunteers? Anyway, it turns out that the logistics were not smoothed out yet, so I bersabar je la . We did a lot of standing around, being given the evil eye by some of the dinner committee members. Then we had some minor work putting brochures and contact forms on the 110 tables. Finished that in no time at all. Nobody gave us any instructions, so more loitering. SK tried to be proactive and got off with a scolding. So much for that. Pissed off, we decided to just lazed around. Finally at 4:00pm, one of more organized of the dinner comittee gave us our ta

sas16 Originally uploaded by bonniegrrl . Before I begin, let me clarify that I'm in no way announcing that I'm into S&M and bondage . But the picture is cute is it not? Well, I'm currently at another project site, and I must say that the internet filtering policy here sucks . Leaving blog comments is prohibited (classifies as "chat", WTF?!) and LJ is completely blocked. Luckily I can still post via other means, but just look at my last post, semua HTML jadi giler . But I'm thankful that I can still read blogger posts. Not being able to leave comments is really getting to me. An itch I can't scratch . In person, I find it hard to keep quiet, on the internet I have to leave my glib remarks! Until I get back a decent internet access I'd just have to bide my time and compile my offline comments onto a CD-ROM. Hmph. PS: Vengelyne, you *had* to to link me as "William and his GBuy", didn't you? :P
