Today will be the last day at work for my friends Nora and Fiza. Ipah left earlier last week. Nora will be joining another company while Fiza will be furthering her studies at UniKL. Well good luck and all the best for you both. Sorry if I've deliberately or inadvertently done something wrong. To err is human and I'm sure we're all humans :) Hey even computers and robots make mistake too.
While Linda & co goes shopping, I took the task of looking after Adam. We went to the video game/ride area and while we're walking past the toys dept Adam started throwing a tantrum. He demanded that I bought him one of those expensive toys. I'm sorry kid, I don't earn a 5 figure income and I definitely cannot buy you just about any toys you want just to make you happy. When I was your age, I wanted the same thing too but I could only look longingly at those toys every time we went to the supermarket. I didn't make my mom buy it for me or anything cause I know she couldn't afford them. I never cried or throw a tantrum cause I know my mom won't buy it anyway. And if I insist, the only thing I will get is a scolding and a pinch in the butt.
Yo pensé que mi esposa iría balísticos en mí y yo estaba preparado para lo peor, pero es sorprendente que ella no. Esposa, que está tan cool! Por lo tanto, el pasado 36 horas o así que he sido bricolaje con mi nuevo y primer bloc de notas cada vez, la instalación de Windows, Ubuntu e incluso Mac OS X sobre él. Ayer He actualizado los 2 GB de RAM y también compró una tarjeta SD de 8GB (que sólo tienen un disco duro de 4 GB). Hoy he swipe fuera otros 300 cien dólares para el exterior delgado DVD-ROM.
Okay, I'm just kidding. Ipah's cat didn't have any kittens. She bought us breakfast because she's a good person, that's all. As usual Nora had 3 (three) helpings :)
Today's service was for the 30000KM mileage. If you think sending the car for a service is easy, think again. I have to wait for 7 hours in the air-conditioned customer's lounge, watch satellite TV with free drinks and browse the Internet on the PC provided when I'm bored. And they didn't even provide lunch! Yes, it's a tough job but hey, somebody's got to do it.
Anyway today I had to revert back to Edubuntu 7.10, that's the only Linux distro that I can install on my PC. It took me nearly two hours to finish that. I think I've installed two many unnecessary programs on my previous installation and this fresh installation sure felt so much lighter with minimal programs installed.
Tonight we went to IKEA again. Linda had been wanting to eat their tasty curry puffs for ages and since she has already finished her confinement period, we decided to go there tonight. Linda bought a few things but I didn't buy any. It was pretty much the same. Even Adam didn't stay for long at Smaland tonight. Faiz will be going to Indonesia soon for one of his tabligh mission. I suggested that he go to Myanmar instead but Mom wouldn't have any of that.
We were the first to arrive there at the ECS training room, 3 minutes from time. Out of the 12 confirmed attendees, only half showed up. Elvin (pic above) basically explained stuff about Red Hat, the products and how to be a vendor. To be honest, I find his explanation a little bit hard to comprehend. No disrespect to him but he did sound like an insurance agent/VCD paddler to me.
Some more, since he's promoting Red Hat Linux, the least he could do is actually use the product himself. Instead, he uses regular Windows XP and Microsoft Office for his presentation, things that he could very well do with Linux and OpenOffice.org. Now I'm not sure whether he uses Linux at all. Not very convincing if you ask me.
Besides being good at fixing servers, computers and debating about chicken and eggs, our FM manager is also good at tinkering with electrical & electronic stuff. He loves to buy small little electronic parts and build something himself rather than buy a complete package off the shelf. Recently he build an LED news ticker and program the thing himself at the office. You just type some text on the PC and the text will scroll across the news ticker. So for the past few days we've been having fun entering interesting words and phrases into the news ticker.
Bujal acted a little strange today. On the way back from Puncak Alam he started talking in a northern Malaysian accent (you know like people in Penang, Kedah and Perlis do). Owh camon! You didn't take that Fasha Sanda rumors seriously did you? I know Fasha Sanda hails from Penang and everything but this is too much! Besides, you sounded more like a lost Thai national than somebody from Penang.
My brother in law went to an interview at KFC next to Petronas today and he'll be starting work there soon. Frankly, I'd rather be working at McDonald's than any other fast food joint. From my experience, McD is a lot more hip and happening than KFC. There's where all the cool kids and chicks hang out. The managers are about your age and you'll have loads of fun working with your peers. KFC on the other hand have the knack for hiring ugly girls and chances are you co-worker hails from Dhaka or Katmandu. Plus some of the managers are so strict (and old) you'll be surprised if you last the whole month there.
Later this afternoon we went to Linda's friend's house in Kampung Dato Keramat in KL. We've know Nina since our bachelor days and now she has 3 kids already. Her real name is also Arianna, Siti Arianna. I'm sure that's purely a coincidence he he. Too bad I can't show any of her pictures here cause she wore t-shirts and shorts today, hmmmmm.
Today Mia Ariana had her hair cut by me. Now my girl and her papa look the same.
先週、私はちょっと誤解を招くように私の親友です。私の友人ここで知って今すぐには彼女の気分のむらと入力し、完全に理解できるようにします。さらに、彼女は彼女の最後の週に何らかの妊娠するかもしれないんだな気分です。
