Coffee and Life

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee,the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups. Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in
society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

Who Designed Human Body??

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body.

One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints."
Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections."
The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?''

My Car

There are three engineers in a car; an electrical engineer, a chemical engineer and a Microsoft engineer. Suddenly the car just stops by the side of the road, and the three engineers look at each other wondering what could be wrong.

The electrical engineer suggests stripping down the electronics of the car and trying to trace where a fault might have occurred. The chemical engineer, not knowing much about cars, suggests that maybe the fuel is becoming emulsified and getting blocked somewhere.

Then, the Microsoft engineer, not knowing much about anything, comes up with a suggestion, "Why don`t we close all the windows, get out, get back in, open the windows again, and maybe it`ll work !?"

not really. When I was 13, I wasn’t sure what I want to be. I thought I’ll go to Egypt or somewhere there since I was in a Religious School. Never thought of going to US or UK. I was in doubt. I want to be an engineer, but is there one in the Middle East? While in Form 3, me and my close frens decided to take the MRSM entrance exam just for fun. To see if we’re capable to meet the standard.When I went to MRSM, then I made up my mind to go to US/UK for engineering degree. I used to wanting to be an engineer like my dad (power) but now I’m in computer industry. Well, at least I’m still an engineer!

Thnxgiving..

Happy Thanksgiving!!

empty home

it makes me wonder, everyday i come home around 6pm. if it's too busy, it'll be around 8pm. trying to get the work done. is that a fact? or just an excuse?

it's a fact since for some reason, my motivation will be 99% after lunch. morning, i hv this heavy ass refusing to move. better stay at the cube than going down to lab. coz u know, u hv meeting til 10. then noon, it's lunch time. so what's the point of going thru the hassle of wearing a smog, going to lab, then coming out, wrap the smog and go thru scanning at the security. all in 2 hours?? if i come down after lunch, i wont hv to rush to come out. i could stay and sleep in the lab if i want! and of course, most TDEs will only come to lab after lunch. mornings r full of meetings. LOL!

it's an excuse coz normally if i come home, no one will be there. it's only me and the cat outside (for the past 3 days, there'll be a cat in front of my door grill meowing.sekor-sekor plak tuh. bising giler! kucing sape ntah. nak carik gado ngn aku aaa??). one of my h'mate will be working and the other is not at home. plus, there aint much interesting show in the box. by 10, i'll be in my room watching Bleach <-- the only purpose of my lappy at home now) til i feel sleepy. hehehe. since it's raining season, the bed is inviting and more attractive. ; ) anyways, sometimes i justs prefer to stay in the office so that i can hv internet access! muahahaha

p/s: seems like i'm crazy on Curry Mee. if i could, i want to eat it everyday. is it possible?? cmner laaa nk diet ni.. alalalala

anyway, here is a tower of sushi plate when i went to Sushi King last month for a colleague's bday.. 6 of us.. this doesnt include the 6 single crab little sushi thingy.. if i'm not forgotten, we spent about RM120 eating.. hehehe eating with a group will save u more then eating alone coz most of the sushi are served on 4s..

best of frens

Today I found a friend,
Who knew everything I felt.
She knew my every weakness,
And the problems I've been dealt.
She understood my wonders,
And listened to my dreams.
She listened to how I felt about life and love,
And knew what it all means.

Not once did she interrupt me,
Or tell me I was wrong.
She understood what I was going through,
And promised she'd stay long

I reached out to this friend
To show her that i care
To pull her close and let her know
How much I need her there

I went to hold her hand
To pull her a bit nearer
And realized that this perfect friend I found
Was nothing but my mirror.

best friend.. seems like i remember encountering this two-word many times, especially when i was in high school, or maybe primary school as well.

when i was in kindergarten, i have a lot of frens, but no really close frens. Well, i guess i assumed all of my frens r my BEST frens. i play with everybody, regardless of their age and gender (it makes me wonder y children doesn't hv the prejudice inside them) . what matter is that u hv someone to talk, sing and play with.

when i was in my primary school, i had a best fren. a chinese girl by the name YK Chan. we had the time of our life. since out house is only a block away, we went by the same bus and coincidently stay in the same class in Standard 1. (i cant remember the following years whether we're in the same class or not ). hehe remembered calling her "kunyit". her name sounds almost like that if read the other way around. we went to each others bday parties and shared our lunch. we're always in the same team when we played lompat getah. and we even took turns to be the bus assistant (thank u uncle Kok, ure the most understanding and sporting bus driver i ever knew). then when i was in Std 4, i moved to Terengganu. in the beginning, we always wrote letters to each other. but time goes by, i hv my own stuff to do, so do u. the letters get lesser and lesser. one day, i went to Subang, and wanted to visit u. it was friday. i knocked on ur gate, and ur mum answered it. she called u down. unfortunately, ure sleepy and just told me to come later. ur were still in ur school uniform, i knew u just returned from school but couldn't u just come to the gate and we can talk for a while. just to catch up on things, even for 1 minute?? dissapointed, i returned home and felt that i've lost a fren. i came from terengganu for the w'end, it's far away. yet, u don't even have a minute to talk to me?

when i was in my primary school in terengganu, i had a bestfren. a guy named Nazri (Nz). i like him coz he's small and cute. and of course, i like to bully him. he was in the class next door. we go to school together, lilbrary together, swim together and we even shared our bicycle lock at school. i guess our classmates really noticed our frenship coz everytime Nz got into trouble, his classmates will call me to their class (as if i could help. hehe). Still remeber the fact that his little sister called him "adik" coz he's the youngest guy (& the smallest physically) among the siblings. But when i went to high school, he moved away and we lost contact. last year, someone in Frenster msg me asking is Nz the guy i meant when i said i want to meet "Nazri" in my profile. when i msg her back, she never reply.. it makes me wonder.. is her his gf? maybe she's jealous of our freiendship once upon a time?? wth.. cm aku nk kebas balak org jek.. ntah ape-ape.

when i was in (lower) high school, i meet a girl name Niha. we got so close since we're both staying in the dorm. we're in the same dorm & same class. we go to dewan makan together, pray together, school together, study, outing.. basically everything lah. ahaha among the people in the dorm, i felt connected to her as we're both from KL. then, i left for MRSM. she stayed in the same school. i still remember she saying, " who's going to talk with her? who's going to do everything with her? prep? eat? pusing-pusing KayTee town ? i feel as if i'm lost already..". she was a popular girl in school, so i told her she will hv someone for her. we are still frens. only far apart. it's not that we're not going to c each other again.

when i was in MRSM, i didnt hv a best fren. tonnes of close ones, but not to the level to say that they're best frens. i felt that i shlouldnt burden them if i hv problem. i prefer to keep it to myself. they're frens for fun. i do helped if they hv problems, but not vice-versa. to me best frens r someone who will be with u thru the thick and thin, fun and sadness. but i choose them for the fun side. i don't think i'll never fiind someone to share my pain, maybe simply b'coz i don't want to.

when i was in prep school, the situation was same like in MRSM. frens r frens. i do hv close frens, but nothing more deep.

when i was in US, closest person i would say is my roommate, Julia. although we're roommates for the last 2 years, she's the easiest and fun person to talk to. being me, i wont disclose the problematic and complicated situation that i's having. if so, only on the surface; after the issue was over. and of course, in a cool manner. like the issue was nothing. and i think she understands, coz she never asked more..

now i'm working and believe me, i think i've left my last resort to find a best friend. plus, i am the ONLY person here. i hv to make new frens. it's not hard nor easy. the environment is not on my side. there r certain barriers in the atmosphere. i wont say what, just think of the possibilities.

i met YK Chan again when i was in prep school. it turns out she's taking medic and i'm in engineering. 2 opposite field. we talk, but not as before. i don't even know where she is now. i believe somewhere in the Europe. i know i could contact her coz my frens r her frens too. but what to talk about? she's in the final year, so she'll be bz..

i'm still good fren with Niiha. she's in KL and i'm in Kulim. we only met once in 2 months, but we sometimes chat. of course, when we met.. we could talk for hours and hours. hehe girls talk lah. gossip-gossip a bit lol! we're both working, so i guess the communication will be more less. it's true that it's easier to talk if ure in the same boat. so i wonder, what else do we hv to talk about? my life is soooo boring..

as for Julia. so far, we're still connected thru phone n mail. since i guess we're closed for a longer period and most of our Uni frens r same, maybe we'll be frens longer (and forever). it's too early to say, but we'll see.. for now, my bestfren is still ME..

* Woo.. y do i sound depressed??

FLu oO Flu..

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE FLU VACCINE:
1. Soreness around the injection site. <== That's me
2. Enhanced drug effects of theophylline, phenytoin, aminopyrine and warfin.
3. Fever, malaise or general body aches occurs in persons who have had no previous exposure to the virus and these symptoms may persist for one or two days. <== That's me too
4. Guillian-Barre Syndrome: Associated with a New Jersey vaccine in 1976. New vaccines have not been clearly associated with GBS, a nervous system paralysis that is usually self-limiting and reversible.
5. Allergic reaction: If you feel faint, develop a rash, or have difficulty breathing after receiving the vaccine, seek immediate emergency care.

Yeah.. seems like my fever and my cold are not getting better. in addition to that, i have a SORE THROAT!! poor me. we'll c how long will i stay in this condition..

anyway, just now i browse for ideas on cheongsam. it;s been a while i want to have at least a pair of cheongsam. but u know, it's a boddy hugging 'long dress' and i dont think i hv the right body for that. lol. but wth! i still want one. so after browsing, i guess i hv something in mind. then i remember, i;m going to HK! so maybe i can shop for cheongsam overthere. it bound to have more options since it's their culture and custom there! woohooo!!! can't wait to go there!! haven't been overseas (other than US, of course) for a longggg lonnggg time...
