Xue - Study Swiped from Pawel Maciejewski . It's the 31st of August today. 53 years of independence. It totally slipped my mind. Holiday on Tuesday? What's the occasion? My colleague was baffled. Things seem very quiet in KL. The Singapore NDP had a much bigger presence. Well, what does Merdeka mean to you? This year, to me it means that I'm lucky that I don't have to balik Tiong Kok . Sekian.

Spider Jerusalem's brand of journalism Swiped from silverwolfnoir . Heard about the furore generated from an opposition MP entering a mosque without properly covering herself according to 'religious tenets'? I watched it on the government mouthpiece's prime time news. The newscaster declared it as: Biadap dan melampau!! Isn't that inciting hatred? To me, news channels should be impartial. Not apple polishers who are over-zealous when it comes to condemning the 'enemy'. I really have no more appetite for mainstream media. Yes, it's Biadap dan melampau!!

Crack I Swiped from williamnyk . Remedial works have finally started on my brother's house after the contractor FFK on the first day. At least he's here now. They'll have to dig out the base and since the back of the house has no alley, they'll be going through the front door! Imagine the chaos, the dust and dirt. And they'll be reconstructing one side of the wall first to avoid making things too 'exposed'. Will have to temporarily board things up for at least a couple of nights. Ah, I guess we have not much choice. I just hope that the problem will be solved after paying the MYR4,500. The cracks are already so bad that rats can even squeeze through!

jo kwon Swiped from camelle20@ . On Sunday, we went to Kota Damansara for lunch since SK wanted to shop at Houz Depot. Went past Sunway Giza into The Strand and starting looking for a place to eat. That area was more deserted, so parking was a breeze, but it made selecting a lunch venue quite risky as well as it's difficult to gauge if it's good. Ended up at Restoran Korea Bulgogi . The main factor was the giant sign out front that stated "$9 Lunch Sets Daily". LOL. But we ordered something else la. Interesting decor inside and we were the only customers. The waiters at the restaurant beside were sleeping on the chairs. :S. Ordered the dolsot bibimbap and kimchi stew sets. Washed it down with some weird corn tea. The food was quite good actually and we were entertained by a Korean variety show. Jo Kwon from 2AM was the host. Slitty-eyed sexiness. Eemmmm. Not long after we started eating, a woman came into the restaurant mumbling "set, set, set" to the wai...

Kopi Tarik Swiped from williamnyk . Mum breezed through Saturday's morning market ritual because she made an appointment with the renovator at 11:00am. For breakfast, we packed nasi lemak and dry curry noodles from the OUG Wet Market. My mother also bought some jelly-fied coconut ( still in the shell ). Quite nice and refreshing. The renovator inspected the damage to the house extension. Both walls had cracked more than an inch. The floor tiles have begun to tilt and crack too. At some parts, even the main house body has started to crack due to the pressure. Initial findings suggest that the footing's not wide enough to support the extension. He would most probably hack off a section from both walls, put a beam in place and cantilever it to the main structure. He even brought his wife along. Quite a motor-mouth! Hopefully he can remedy the shoddy work that the original renovator delivered. Sigh. In the afternoon, SK and I went out for lunch at Restoran Ah Loy , OUG. It was ...

Greek Swiped from williamnyk . "I've finished my part, do you need me for anything else?" I should not have opened my mouth. His eyes looked wild and they rolled around while thingking of what I could do for him. Everyone else was still struggling trying to bring up the system for next day's Proof of Concept (POC). A very, very dirty phrase in my book. Rush work. Pressure to impress customers. Every single mistake will be pinned on you if the deal goes bust. Ugh. Instead of leaving at dinner time, my boss detained me till 4:00am! Barely had 2 1/2 hours of sleep, then it was back to work. Slept in the car. Slept on the train. Was practically floating around. I pity my colleagues who did not even go home to shower. Customers are getting very pushy and demanding. And vendors are getting heads over heels trying please the customers. Sufference. In the end, most of the stuff was up and running and my load test went well. Was quite flattered when the customer thought I...
