will i am's delayed diary

Sat for my exam again on Monday ( replacement leave for Labour Day. :) ) and I passed with flying colours. Hehe. The questions did not quite repeat, but still I managed. I have now officially upgraded to a Microsoft Certified Professional Developer for .NET Framework 3.5 . Does that mean I get paid more? No. :(. SK waited for me at a nearby cafe and after I broke the good news to her, we immediately headed for The Gardens for some shopping. I had my eyes set on a pair of Democrata shoes, but it turns out that they're too narrow at the toe. That wasn't a problem, as its neighbour brand immediately caught my eye. Tried on a pair of J Shoes and liked it on the spot. Much cheaper and that is good seeing how I had thrown MYR300 down the drain last week. Next stop, Braun Buffel . SK stopped to buy a beautiful dark maroon wallet for KH. Much better than the boring black. Moi: Why are you buying the wallet? SK: Haiyah. I paiseh he bought the VS for me ma... Moi: Then why you ask him

MumsBday2010 Swiped from williamnyk . Mum's birthday is on the 5th of May. Since that is on a Wednesday, we had the choice of doing it on the weekend before or after the 5th. I advised my brother to come back on the Labour Day weekend since the following weekend is Mothers Day, so you can imagine the chaos at F&B outlets. I dunno about other mothers, but my mum is a difficult woman to shop for. Every year we have to crack our heads to think of the perfect gift. This year round, we got her a watch since her Maurice Lacroix is already quite old. With that determined, it's still a challenge to get the right watch. Knowing my mother, she has two requirements for watches: 1) Must be light 2) Must be bling And so, we decided on a gold Skaagen steel mesh watch with crystal and mother of pearl from Tangs. I tested it with my own wrist, as mum and I have a similar construction and size. Haha. Squarish wrists. With that buy, we got 10% cash rebate and some vouchers. Dispose

Birthday Shriya 5th Swiped from Partha Sarathi Sahana . Nat is an ex-colleague of mine from India. Several years ago, my company hired him as a contract staff and we worked together on of my past projects. Some time back, my company terminated his contract and he also moved on to another company. Back in those days, he was quite a good companion, exposing me to much Indian culture. Some days, I would introduce him to local, Japanese and Korean food and on others, he would bring me for chapati and my favourite chickpea curry. Even after he left, he would ping me on GTalk and send me occasional SMS-es. I was invited to his wedding, housewarming and etc, but I never made it. So when he invited me to his daughter's first birthday party, I really couldn't refuse. Nat: Come for my daughter's birthday party on Labour Day! Block out that date for me. Come after 5:00pm. moi: Erm, my mum's birthday celebration is only on that night. Can I come for lunch instead? Nat: Co

Scrabble Nerd. Swiped from Sheri is Ridiculous . KH recently asked me to install Words With Friends on the iPhone. It's actually Scrabble la. Quite addictive really. Currently, I'm simultaneously playing SK, KH, Janvier and KH's wife in Singapore. At every red light, I'd be thinking of double letter scores and triple word scores. Quite a nice way to survive the rush hour jams. So far, KH has beaten me twice with big margins! Hmph. Always running up tonnes of points with weird words and uncanny placements. Somehow it doesn't feel so bad losing to a friend ( Janvier is a demon at these things ). It's not that I want KH to purposely let me win, but I was hoping for a little more face from him! Cis .

Last Wednesday evening, I finished up my studying and quickly registered for my Microsoft exam for Thursday morning. I arrived at the venue early, but there was so error with the system, causing the exam paper to not be downloaded until an hour later. Little did I know that it was a bad sign. I failed that exam! I passed the first section with 960 points, but failed the last section with only 560 points. I need a minimum of 700 points on both sections! Ugh. T_T. The worse thing is that during the registration, I did not apply the Second Shot Voucher-- basically a backup plan to retake my exam free of charge in case I fail it the first time. That's MYR300 down the drain. :(. Sigh. I could have bought a pair of shoes with that money!!! So, I did more preparations and will be taking the exam again ( with the Second Shot Voucher! ). Wish me luck people!

August's Big Gay Kiss Best Picture Winner Swiped from InteractiveMale . Remember Jolin ? She surprised me over cofee the other day ( BTW, she treated. Brownie points! ): "Oooo... I like to go to The Pavilion. So many gays le! All very leng zai one!" "But I think I better not see so much. Later cannot find BF. :P" Priceless. P.S.: SK, please take note. :P

CSA Images 773231 Swiped from csa images . On Friday, I did not take leave, so I only visited SK at night. Earlier on, Gratitude had brought her roast pork bones + dried oyster + salted egg porridge. Very yummy in comparison to the hospital food. Sodexo sucks! SK was lethargic, spending too much time in bed. Luckily she had her iPhone and magazines a companions. By that time, 2 of her roommates had been discharged, leaving her with the Mat Rempit aunty. Later, Apollo also visited. According to SK, her condition was kinda 'misdiagnosed'. Doctor: Good news! It's not Disease A! SK: Har?! Doctor: It's actually Disease B! Disease A is a life-long disease le. But Disease B is not! But the specialist failed to mention that there is no clear cure for Diease B either. >_____<". Either way, it was kinda like an overkill to conduct surgery for Disease B. How unlucky. Sigh. Anyway, SK needed a couple more days at the hospital. On Saturday night, Gratitude visit

Last Thursday, I took leave to admit SK into Pantai Specialist Hospital for her surgery. The admissions clerk was a very cheerful Malay girl who was smiling all the way. Even better than some hotel front desks I've seen. But truthfully, most private hospitals are starting to look like hotels with jockey service, opulent lobbies and patients zig-zagging in and out with designer luggage. It was a painless check-in procedure, but we had some trouble finding a room because the hospital was quite packed. So while waiting for things to be finalized, I had a lousy nasi lemak at their food court and ordered a large cup of Sumatran Black from Starbucks. Although SK was entitled to a two-person room, she had to make do with a four-person room due to the constraints. Nothing much went on in the morning, except for some pre-op tests and preparations. SK changed into the hospital gown, did some shaving ( tee hee ) and took the ECG test. Basically she just sat on the bed, and we played scrabble

42-17597553 Swiped from ducmanhmaster . My company recently 'acquired' two companies from its parent. Due to that arrangement, four extra accounts personnel are now stationed in my office. One of 'em is Jolin. For quite some time, she was quite the plain Jane, staying under the radar most of the time. Then all of a sudden, she became the talk of the town. Let's just say that we're a stressed out bunch of people and any minor office gossip we turn into a major epic as a form of entertainment. It all began after she started approaching my colleague, Lan after office hours to help her with 'computer problems'. And the both of 'em are usually the latest to leave the office, giving our imaginations much fuel for tale-spinning. As the days went by, Jolin became bolder and bolder. Can I join you guys for lunch? You went for tea? Aiyoh, should have asked me ma....! Then one day, another colleague of mine followed her car back to Wangsa Maju: Jolin: (out

Alex was telling me the other day that he wants to learn how to swim. Since he's more comfortable with professional instructors ( it is more sensible ), I suggested that he scout the public pools around his area for classes. Just a few days after that, lo and behold, I find this search phrase in my search engine hit log: cute gay swimming instructor in KL I immediately ask Alex, "Was that you?!". Of course he denied it. Hehe. If your instructor is cute, would you learn faster or slower? :P

Monopoly? Swiped from nascity . Some nostalgia today. Believe it or not, it all started from KH's ex's blog. From there on, I found KH and some of the initial BFF. We read each other's blogs and left occasional comments. I knew he was gay, although I wasn't so sure about myself. My denial phase so to speak. But it was swiftly coming to an end. On the 19th of October 2006, an unsuspecting comment on my blog : I would be more impressed if it was fire burning on water and the water dissipates slowly. LOL Sigh, nowadays anything can be art. Have a good and long weekend ;P P/S Can't find your contact. Can u pls email me? Thanks. This is what got the ball rolling between KH & I. Simple e-mail conversations evolved into SMSes. Naturally we started talking over the phone. Then we met for the first time at Coffee Bean, Citrus Park. At that moment in time, I wasn't honest with myself regarding my sexuality. I had no intention of getting in contact with real peopl

Swiped from ~ezs . Overheard at a private pool in Taman Danau Desa: Voice 1: Dia tu kan... peluk saya tau. Pegang tangan saya. Voice 2: Lepas tu? Lepas tu? Voice 1: Dia beritahu saya, "Takpelah, sini kan sunyi, takde orang nampak!". SK was so shocked that the conversation actually came from a couple of Malay girls at the pool. I don't think they were any older than 10. Shocking. After I finished my laps, I rested at the poolside again and stole a few glances at the cute-ish queers in white arena trunks on my right. The kids were there again. Voice 1: Wei. Wei. Tengok tu. Voice 2: Mana? Voice 1: Tu. Jantan kat hujung tu. Bukannya hensem sangat. Amazing. Kids start really young these days. Who cares if you've not had your first moon? Who cares if you're still flat-chested? The early bird catches the worm.

Lady GaGa - Telephone Swiped from Lee_Way . How much do you remember of your physics? Amplitude? Frequency? Interference? Resonance? Maybe some physics genius can help me on this: For some strange reason, KH can't hear my voice well over the phone. According to him, my intonation is so erratic that he usually misses the last part of my sentence. Kinda tapers off. Well, let's investigate this in a scientific manner: ~ The problem persists with my Samsung SGH-X700, Nokia 5220 and iPhone. ~~ Hence, there might be something wrong with my voice. ~~~ But nobody else seems to complain about this. ~~~~ Hence, there might something wrong with his ears. ~~~~~ But he says he can hear other people well. ~~~~~~ Perhaps my voice and his ears are at odds? Since I have no wish of shouting into the phone, perhaps I should enunciate more slowly. But that kinda makes chatting so robotic. I like to be manja over the phone and that kinda spoils the mood. Dunno la. So difficult at times. P

iPad Spoof Colour Swiped from melekalikimaka . What's the best business model in the world? Your product must be a necessity . Your target customers are women . Use the MLM framework to make the most money in the least amount of time and effort! What could that product be? You get a free pack of pantie liners if you answered sanitary pads . My ex-coursemate, Egg rang me up for drinks. Said she was bringing another ex-coursemate whose name did not ring a bell ( not surprising since I have bad memory and couldn't care less about most ex-coursemates ). I was quite oblivious to the trap I was walking into. Luckily I brought SK along. Years and years ago, Egg had a crush on me ( ala "Fatal Attraction" ), and all the while she thinks that SK is her arch-nemesis. So, the purpose of having SK there was actually to act all lovey-dovey and create further scandals. Evil, aren't we? But it might trigger her psychosis again too... so not sure if it was wise. Well, Eg

Tax Collector Swiped from OCPetPhotos . Someone knocks on my door. "Hello, who issssss ittttt...?", I answer in my best Bree Van De Kamp voice. "Open up. I'm here on the King's business.", comes the voice behind the door. I unbolt the door and see the tax collector standing before me. "Great, you're finally here", I say merrily. "You owe me money!". I overpaid about MYR400+ in taxes for the year 2009! But when will they refund me?!

Wish You Luck Swiped from amy (mndcakes_penang) . I suddenly had high motivation to buy 4D from a receipt number I had received: 3335 I bought all permutations for MYR2 at Magnum, Da Ma Cai and Toto on Saturday and Sunday. I did not strike. Come Wednesday, I decided not to buy. On Thursday, my mum pointed it out to me. Toto ~ 5333 ~ Consolation Prize MYR100 terbang .... T_T

100_0850 Swiped from incurable_hippie . Remember the brand new Full-HD LCD TV that I bought during the CNY period? The Sharp Aquos 32" A66. It's not so SHARP after all. It has been giving me overheating problems. Just after 2 hours of watching, the word "TEMPERATURE" starts to flash in red at the bottom right of the screen. The blinking will get more and more frequent until it shuts itself off. How annoying. I had called the technician to look at it once before. The fella just reset the factory settings and refreshed the firmware. The problem went away for a while and now it's back again! Terukz . The second technician changed the main board and the results were horrible! The colours were leaching! And the sound disappeared after a while too! Then the video inputs went erratic. :S. Blur Technician: Actually never see before this problem, but now OK already right? Me & SK: NOOOOOOOOOO. And my sister's Sharp LED TV is also giving her problems. Th

No U-Turns while Walking your Moose Swiped from Beothuk . From Puncak Jalil, there are several alternatives to head to Kuala Lumpur. Get on to the Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil via the Giant Kinrara 5 bridge. Get to Jalan Puchong via Kinrara 1. Turn out to Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil via the traffic light near the fire station at (B). Make an illegal u-turn at the Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil near SIRIM at (B) The turning at Kinrara 5 would incur an extra 10km and also one would have to brave the jam at Bandar Seri Bukit Jalil turning. No points for guessing which method I like to use. Many motorists make that illegal turn and as a result, the traffic heading towards Puchong is quite jammed. Recently, the police have taken an interest and they have been issuing summons. The traffic towards Puchong is much smoother when they do it, but looking at the traffic light, the queue was unbelievable. It can easily take you half an hour just to clear the traffic light. :S. Butttt.... our dear traffic polic

The iPhone is cool no doubt, but it does miss out on some hardcore cellphone features that I've been soooooooo used to! Here are a few: Once you hit send for an SMS, there's no turning back! Better do a double take before sending flirty SMS-es to people other than your BF! You type and type and type your SMS, but you dunno how many characters you have used up. More chances to blow an extra 15 cents on just a few extra characters. Give me T9! I don't really like the predictive text. I usually miss the hints cause I stare to intently at the keyoard. Related to the previous item, I have been avoiding apostrophes when typing! There's no zoom for the camera! I hope this won't hamper my work on LRT Celebrities! As I mentioned before, I have itchy fingers. And with each itchy attack, the battery life drops quite drastically. -1%. -1%. -1%. Goodness. It's like watching a taxi meter tick. And no caller groups! I have to assign ringtones to individual contacts. So trouble

Purple Tummy Warmer Swiped from williamnyk . My brother-in-law had gone to Redang for a holiday, so my sister and Cyan joined us for Divine Mercy Sunday at church. Cyan was considerably well-behaved throughout the whole thing. The only funny thing that happened was that he remarked "Do what?!" during a moment of silence. LOL. Luckily it was already after the Eucharistic Prayer. Since mum had MYR10 to kill at a jumble sale in The Atria , we all headed there for lunch. After a quick survey of the shops surrounding the mall, we decided to go in for food. It looks so dead. We finally decided on Kopi Time Kopitiam seeing that its business was quite brisk. Cyan was a handful. Couldn't sit still. Malls put him into a frenzy of sorts. Just can't stop of horsing around. We tried their Chicken Udon ( in an interesting carrot and radish soup base ), Fishball Noodles ( the fish content was high ), Nasi Lemak KT ( rendang chicken and sambal sotong on one plate! ) and Kay
