Yes! I manage to go to the exhibition yesterday. After all, all I have was time since I got another meeting in Puchong in the evening. So, I queued up for nearly 40 minutes before it was my turn.

Finally, I was been given the Cambodia’s version of the story. Narrated from the child’s view, it took me all the way back to Srey Mom younger time. From her birth to her teens, how she overcome struggles and being forced into prostitution.

The exhibit was impressively set up. Simple but good enough for one to see it from the children eyes. How they have endures this kind of life. Putting myself in their shoe, do you want your kids to go through that stages?

Location?

KL - DUMCwas the first to held it (until July 13 - Yesterday) and later Penang, Kuantan and Johor.

For those in KL, no worries. The exhibit will then be back to KL again. So, waste not these precious time and go to have a view of it.

Nice movie. Comparing to the summer blockbusters like Wanted, Journey to the center of the Earth or even HellBoy, I opted for the International Screening last night.

The movie walked me through the Cultural Revolution era of China. It has few familiar cast in it namely
Jaycee Chan, Anthony Wong Chau-Sang and Joan Chen.

The movie by itself was intriguing. Nothing solid as the story line since it interconnects the 4 short stories, whereby all the characters coincidentally intertwined along their lives. The connection was revealed slowly as the stories progress. The background musics accompanying the movie was orchestra in a playful manner. In the 2nd story, Anthony Wong’s character opened up a different view of the Cultural Revolution. And his suicide death still remains as part of the puzzle.

I left the cinema feeling good and at the same time, puzzled still.

In the end, it doesn’t matter what the story told but knowing that the sun will still rises.

Same goes to some photos that I never even thought it existed. Gosh!

Dennis Wholey says: “Waiting is an art… .If you can wait two years, you can achieve something you could not achieve today however hard you worked, however much money you threw at it, however many times you banged your head against the wall.” There are things you can’t have today that you’ll be able to have in the future. So it doesn’t make sense to drive yourself crazy and put your life on hold struggling to accomplish something now, that’ll be easy when the time is right.

Right now I believe that certain things to take place in my life is to teach us important principles. One of it shall be the ability to control my responses. Once I am done with it, I know I’ll eventually become stronger and wiser. And then I’ll have the maturity to handle what has in for you.

Maybe right now is not the time. Not yet.

Last night in the office doing nothing serious but then a partner called in.

His line was pretty bad that kinda jerk when I talked to him. Here’s our conversation (sort of)

Me: Mr. X, is there anything I can do for you?

Mr. X: Yes, I need a favor from you. Very urgent and important. It is Mr. Customer A whom…. this… that…

Me: Mr. X, I am losing you. The line isn’t clear. It’s got jitters

and the line got dropped by Maxis.

Next he returned call.

Me: Mr. X, what happened?

Mr. X: How do I know. I think it is your side that your place have no bar.

Me: No. I’ve checked that my signal here is good.

Mr. X: You lar no bar. I’m FUBAR.

Me: Huh? You FUBAR?

Mr. X: Yeah. I’m here FUBAR.

Me: Ok. Case close. You win

FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition)

I told Linpeh whether if I could meet up with him and ask him some questions. It was so serious that I wanted no one to be involved when I asked him those questions.

When I saw him the other day, the first question I asked was “Am I A Serious Kind of Person?” I looked to him very serious that he was practically speechless for few seconds.

The look at his face was priceless. He replied, “Fuck you lar. Faking the seriousness got lar”

I know why he said that. Because most of the time, my expression was “fucking stress. looked seriously” which is why at time people think I often acted cool. That because most of the time I seemed to be in deep thought whereas the moment was for me thinking pointless things.

Either way, I think I just got screwed big time.

In the few days ago I was using the u-mobile to get online @ Setapak. Initially the line was good. I was getting the good reception with high bandwidth throughput. It was like having the road for myself during the Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, since Tuesday the line was down. I couldn’t get connected to the Internet despite that the signal strength was strong. Around 3-5 bars in between. I still couldn’t get connected. Here’s the snapshot of the U-mobile console.

Nope. I wasn’t being paid to blog about it. But here’s the comparison from my personal opinion.

1. The line was good until it went down. For days.

2. The customer service was very polite and nice. Drawbacks, they still sucks
Reasons:-
I went to U Mobile counter in Berjaya Times Square yesterday afternoon after having lunch with my customer. Ahmad was the one whom responded to my complaint pertaining the network issue. At first, he needs to check on the account status whether it is still alive and running or being barred due to the payment matters.

He informed that the account have no issue. So he need to check with the technical team. I demanded that I need to have at least an answer by that day itself Hence Ahmad called his superior to engage with me on that matter. They can’t tell much from what I provided so they told me that they needed 3-5 days before able to return on the call.

Last night meeting up with partner at Tmn Melati OldTown Kopitiam, I stumbled upon my former employer - the boss of MRC (Mind Research Consultant). Not only the boss himself but also his right hand man, Mr. Tan.

At first, I was talking to my partner when Mr. Tan walked pass me. I saw him and eventually inevitable I stand up to greet him. It has been few years since I left the company. In fact, few of the former colleagues had a gathering a week before which just reminds me of the time working there.

Then the MRC boss came in. Btw, the company renamed to SMM already by now. I was looking at him to see if he recognize me in a way or two. He do have some recollection of who am I but I guess he never recalled my name. Hah! What make it worse was he asked what am I doing and I told him that I was doing fine.

Then he proceed to ask if I have anyone looking for an IT job. I told him I need to look around, which is an excuse that will set him at ease. Of course I wouldn’t want to introduce my friends there after all it has been no heaven for me there. With the exception of the colleagues whom are nice but the pay… let’s give some grace on that area.

Anyway, being a typical Chinaman company as I shared with my partner that he was a good *ahem* sc*mmer.

But heck, since I saw him not sure whether it is considered a blessing or a curse?

Lately I have been told that I got 10 A’s for the SPM myself. In fact, if were to compare with today’s SPM result, these kids are hitting the sky with 20 or 40 over Aces. Who am I were to compare to them?

Moreover, I don’t have 10 A’s for my SPM. Even if I do also it shall be just a couple of A’s. But strictly not 10 A’s. That because I flunked my chemistry paper. I remembered that I was been given tips what shall be appearing in that paper few days before. All I need to do was to memorize the entire essay and structured questions part.

In order to score in that area, I need to memorize the chemistry chart. Hence, I studied the chemistry chart so I won’t miss out that area. Coming to the exam, I mistaken the chemistry chart between the Helium and Hydrogen if I still remembered correctly. It has been 9 years since my last SPM exam, so it is bearable to forget it.

Anyway, I screwed that paper big time. And given that I can even screw up that paper with the insider tips, do you still think I can get 10 A’s? Please. Drop it.

kthxbai!!!!

Well, finally the mystery solved. “The Mystery of Nicole Kidman baby name”

Why? Because it is Sunday.

The mystery of Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman’s name choice for her daughter has reportedly been solved, with Kidman’s father saying “Sunday Rose” was inspired by an Australian arts patron notorious for her lurid love life.

- from NYTimes

Guess it has nothing to do with Sunday after all.
