ATM Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Pay day for me, is on the 25th, which so happens falls on a Sunday this month. Anway, with banks working 5 day-weeks now, payroll transactions aren't performed on weekends anymore. Either on Friday or the following Monday. I just accessed my accounts internet banking site. Looks like it's gonna be Monday. :(. So leceh these days, can't do banking on weekends. Even 2 Saturdays a week is better than none. We can't do everything at self-service branches. Those machines are a blessing and a curse at the same time. For those who know how to use them, they are fast and efficient. But for those who don't, they get turned away at the counter after waiting in line. The machines don't give you attitude, but they can always be under maintenance . And ATMs always run out of money when you most need it. Perasan tak? Talking of attitude, the other day when I went to the Tiger bank to stop payment on my cheque at the branch, t

IMG_1486 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . If you're all wondering, it's not my playground. That song from Madonna just suddenly came to mind. Perhaps currently I'm feeling a little bit like the girl in the picture. There's a whole selection of cool stuff on the playground, and she's just 'settled' for the dinosaur ride. But see the blank expression on her face? It's just not quite what she expected. Her legs are too long. She looks stuck. What the hell am I rambling about....

Get Lost Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Eye-catching isn't it? Found this at F.O.S. A corrupted version of the famous phrase from Jerry Maguire . Shut up. Just shut up.....You had me at hello. You had me at hello. Awwww. Romantis banget sih. . *rolls eyes*. Read the monologue here . T-shirts are getting more and more interesting these days. Can't beat those ah lian prints that have bad grammar and don't mean shit. And I really hate those "I'm a sex coach, first lesson free" prints. Anything interesting in your wardrobe?

Bedouin thoughts Originally uploaded by BidWiya . I finally finished both movies and I can now present my report. Sediu Ying Hung Tsun Tsi Dung Sing Sai Tsau Dung che sai duk 1993 1994 Brigitte Lin Third Princess Mu-Rong Yin / Yang Leslie Cheung Huang Yao-shi Ou-yang Feng Maggie Cheung Sage The Woman @ Ou-yang Feng's sister-in-law / lover Tony Leung Chiu Wai Ou-yang Feng Blind Swordsman Tony Leung Ka Fai Duen Long Huang Yao-shi Jacky Cheung Hung Chi Hung Chi Carina Lau Chou Po-tung Peach Blossom Joey Wong Huang Yao-shi's Sweetheart [Scenes Deleted] It's funny how nearly the same cast from the ultra-stupid version came back to do the ultra-arty version. Somehow I found "Ashes of Time" more entertaining now. Perhaps my tolerance is higher now. Their lives are all screwed up. Intertwined with each other. Everything in the story relates to Ou-yang Feng, a hitman agent. where to begin... Huang Yao-shi promises to marry Mu-Rong Yang's sister (Mu-Rong Yin),

bentback Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Brought my mum to the Chiropractor yesterday. Complained of a stiff shoulder and neck. The doctor performed dry needling on her to loosen the muscles, and it seems that her muscles were so stiff that a few needles were bent. Scary stuff, her back had swollen areas after the whole treatment. Have to go back on Friday, hope it works. Later had dinner downstairs, a vegetarian place called Chat Masala. As you can see, the walls had nice ethnic paintings on them. The food was OK. We had chapati, thosai and rava thosai . One complaint though - the floor is *really* slippery. Luckily they have a chiropractor upstairs. Must be some kind of synergy.

At rest Originally uploaded by williamnyk . It's been ages since I've actually seen a live grasshopper. The one I photographed is either high or half-dead as I could get really close and it wouldn't even bat an eyelid, ... compound eye membrane or whatever. The memories of terrorizing grasshoppers as a kid all come flooding back to me: 1) Whack them with flying slippers 2) Immobilize them, then put them in the midst of scavenging kerengga who literally tear them to bits 3) Helping my bro stir fry them in a pan Those were the days. I wonder what kids play with these days?

Annoyed Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Took this photo on the Star LRT. There's obviously something not right about these two. For some unknown reason, the girl sat with her back towards the guy. Yeah, I know the guy's face memang menyampah a bit, but she acted as though the guy's a pervert or something. And the guy kept on looking at her with an annoyed expression. I don't think they're a couple, both got off at separate stations.

Cleaned the cooker head today. Such an exotic way to start a post, huh? Nothing much happened today. Sunset mass. A quick nip over to Ikano and The Curve. Just to have a look at some furniture at Harvey Norman and visit the new MJ. Saw the ugliest handbag there. Quite quiet for Father's Day. I haven't celebrated that for 9 years now. Polishing my shoe yesterday reminded me that my late dad taught me how to do it.... Back to Mutiara Damansara. Most restaurants were empty. One table of diners at Royale Bintang was serenaded by a two violins and a cello. Too bad I couldn't get a pic. Another girl at The Curve bazaar area caught my eye. She was eating a chicken wing, but she was so intently staring at a couple that she forget about the wing in her mouth and jest let it hand there like the number '7'. Hilarious! Oh yeah, can anyone tell me what's at Cineleisure? Is it up and running? Finally supper at Old Klang Road. Had a fantastic Bak Kut Teh with lean meat, tail,

Started the day by doing chores. Ugh. Polished shoes. Washed the grimy kitchen windows. Cleaned the fan. Then it was off to a little outdoor fun. Last Thursday I braved the crowds at Jaya Jusco Taman Equine , and whaddya know, I was back at it on Saturday. This time with SK who needed to do some grocery shopping. Since my mum didn't get to buy the as advertised cheap sale household items, I decided to let my auntie-ness shine. I grabbed the four cheapest items that I needed. 1) Naturel Omega Blend Cooking Oil - MYR15.99 2) HL Fresh Milk - MYR3.50 3) LTK Omega-3 Eggs - MYR2.89 4) Sau Tou Abalone Instant Oat Noodles - MYR9.99 (premium MSG) I regretted buying the milk. I regretted trying banana flavour. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT get it in that flavour. Tastes damn artificial. Kinda like liquified cheap banana cake. Ugh. The highlight of the whole trip was an appearance by Jaya Jusco's celebrity ambassador...... Siti Nurhaliza !!!! Ho hum. All the Malay shoppers flocked to cente

IMG_1481 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Some extra posts today since I'm completely cut off from the internet on weekends. Just some updates about work. I've given a very good opportunity to try something new. Many new things actually. I know there's a stick, but the carrot is still quite vague. I know this sounds cryptic, as Zemien likes to say, but it is a mystery to me as well. I'm just playing along hoping that it'll pay off. However, it does entail some major role change on my part. Kinda like being thrown in the deep end of the pool after spending so long in the kiddy pool. Sink or swim? (Literally, I can't swim. :P. Been thinking of getting lessons for ages) Perhaps I've been in my comfort zone for too long. I can't help but think I've been put up to the altar . We'll see, we'll see.

Kenanga Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Berkshire Hathaway Holdings' stock is up to USD3,060.00 today. Yikes. But this pales in comparison to its price in the 90s-- a whopping USD80,000.00 . One can scarcely believe. Warren Buffet. Bukan manusia ke?

Photo-0045 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Aeon Seri Kembangan openend on Thursday after much anticipation. It is the first decent shopping mall in Bandar Putra Permai. I knew it would be a nightmare to go there on the opening day , but you know what, I went anyway. It's not like I have never been to Jaya Jusco before. It's not like there aren't better malls around. It's not like I didn't know that the roads are jammed and the parking would be hell. My sister, mum and I braved the crowds anyway. We parked nearly 1km away and walked in. You can see how bad the jam was yesterdays night through the picture I snapped. A snail's pace. I can't believe we walked that far. A serious case of sua-ku-ness . Or norak as they say in Indonesia. But I must say that Aeon Seri Kembangan has a bright future ahead of it. It's quite nice really, reminiscent of Alamanda Putrajaya. Most of the tenants are from the established franchises and it does not have the

Keratin Basil Originally uploaded by williamnyk . My colleagues and I had lunch at Bangkok Expresso the other day. From the same chain as Amarin . Pricey stuff and the service was so-so. But the Hot Basil Chicken Rice that my colleague ate took the cake. Just look hard enough in the photo and you can see the hair in the midst of the hot basil leaves (they look like tea leaves here). Even more shocking is my colleagues response to it. No need to replace la. They'll most probably just remove the hair and give me the same thing. Is service *that* bad that we won't even bother?

I have been cheated. I have no say in my future direction. Secrecy prevails...

My company is abuzz with talks of organizational changes. Everyone is worried about how they will fit in into the new structure. Instant messages are flying back and forth, pouring in from many channels. Rumours aplenty. I'm going back for a meeting tomorrow morning. D-Day. Opportunity is knocking. What's the buzz, tell me what's happening, What's the buzz, tell me what's happening, What's the buzz, tell me what's happening... -- excerpt from Jesus Christ, Superstar

Photo-0030dvd Originally uploaded by williamnyk . DBKL officer: Ei, Lanun, dilarang menjual VCD/CD cetak rompak! Pirate: OK lor. I jual DVD cetak rompak. In anticipation of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest .

Photo-0026licin Originally uploaded by williamnyk . You have someone you don't like living with you? Just get a bottle of Licin-Licin from your neighbourhood grocery store and mix one cap-full into half a pail of water. Mop the intended area throughly. Let it dry. Then place a rug over it. Stay clear of the area, or you might just slip and break your neck. Disclaimer: The contents of this post are for entertainment reasons and do not expressly represent the opinions of the author.

Photo-0039 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Another gem from my Saturday trip to Sungei Wang Plaza. Hidden between travel agencies. An introduction agency. A marriage broker. Aptly named ICE BREAKERS . I love their tagline of "Why Stay Single!" . Like it's a choice we all actively make. It claims to be the the nation's biggest professional multiracial introduction agency . Source unknown. Here are several reasons to use their services: 1) Our co. is working towards ISO9000 - I'm only aware of ISO9001:2000. At least you'll rest assured that they'll not mess up your profile and pair you with a babboon. 2) More than 20 yrs in introduction service - Backed by a long history! 3)Choice of friendship, companionship, marriage and language exchange - friendship = one night stand? companionship = live-in partner? language exchange = can anyone enlighten me? 4) We are affordable - 'Affordable' for desperate people most probably equals big bucks 5)

Saturday marked the second KTV session of my life's history. I marked the first one at RedBox Ria, Sogo. Interestingly, it coincided with my official 3rd anniversary at my company. Yeah, It's my first job and I'm still there, and people wonder why I've not left. But that's for another post. Back to the present. RedBox, Sungei Wang Paza had the honour of being my second. FK, SK, Soon, CK, MY and I flocked there by 11:00 am to enjoy the lunch special. Just pay for the lunch and you get to sing free for 3 hours. Standard RedBox premises, but the room reeked of stale ciggies and citrus deodarant. Blech. Our playlist was quite diverse, ranging from dangdut to Chinese oldies to the ubiquotous Chinese pop. Sad as it may seem, but the highlight of the whole session was the threesome, rousing rendition of Theresa Teng's "Don't Pick the Roadside Wild Flowers"! I had a blast introducing them to Inul Daratista's "Goyang Inul" and other classics

This post was triggered after reading Zemien's post . It's all very strange. I noticed that I keep having the same conversation over the span of a couple of years. It's always the same flow. A message will come out of the blue from Yahoo! IM (my alternate profile, for, eh-hem, 'forays' into chat rooms). It goes a little something like this. XXX : Hi, my name XXX. XXX : Are you there? I guess you're not there. nvm. Me : Yeah, I'm here. XXX : a/s/l Me : 25/M/Malaysia XXX : I'm shy to ask you this. (blushing emoticon) Me : ? XXX : I'm horny. You mind cybering with me? Me : Uhhh. I'm at the office. Some other time perhaps. XXX : Oh, come on... Me : Really, no. XXX : Well, your loss. XXX : If you change your mind, check out my profile at YYY ( And of course the profile has some link to some questionable porn site. ) I think I've had this conversation at least thrice. With some minor variations of course.
