My credit card and I

My credit card has been spoilt for some time and i did not have the time to fix/change it, many thanks to the no working on a saturday policy for banking staff. I decided to get it fix/change before my coming trip to KL this MAY, who knows I might need the Mastercard incase my VISA card decided to play tricks on me. There was no other time to go than during lunch hour, the bank was a good 20 minutes drive from where i work, so its going to be abit rush and i have only an hour of lunch break.
Off i went rushing all the way from my desk to my car in the parking lot, and rushing all the way to the bank from my office, got there in record time of 18 minutes without much traffic intervention. Got into the bank, waited for like 5 minutes before it was my turn, i was expecting to fill many many forms, getting my IC photocopied and other what not.....but you know what.....you know what the staff did?? i told him my card is not readable, he took out a freaking pencil eraser and started rubbing it on my card's chip.....after rubbing he said ok, it should be working now. I was like ...............................i drove 18 minutes + waited 5 minutes with all the rush and all just to get my card rubbed by a faber-castell eraser???? i dont know why but i just took my card, thank the fella and went off.......probably thats the malaysian way of fixing stuff...by taking short cuts....well thank you mr.bank staff......ohh and yea the card is still unreadable.....#$@#%@#%@#

Mount Singai......piece of cake laa

the colleagues decided to go climb mount singai and we did....did it today.....i thought it will be a challenging climb....but dissapointed laa....piece of cake....took less than half an hour to get to the top....the path is a well built wooden stairs, alittle sliperry but really nothing....easy easy
well we went in a group of around 10 ppl, all from our office....lyd's parents and sis went too.
mount singai is located around BAU area, approx 30 minutes drive from kuching, there's a chatolic church on top of the mountain and the mountain is regarded as a holy place.....so no fooling around while climbing....well pictures tell better stories, so i'll just post some of the pictures from the trip...basically nothing much to do there besides taking pictures. its quite an enjoyable trip, waking up 630AM in the morning of a SATURDAY...need to reach a friend's house by 730AM, need to meet up with lyd and her parents by 750AM....go to work also no need so early laa....well enjoy the picssss....a lot galss wan HE HE HE

Farewell my colleague....my friend

3 months ago, wen dropped his resignation letter and decided he’s had enough of our company. He needed a new experience, a whole new environment, I gotta say, he’s pretty courages to just drop his resignation letter while he’s got no other job offers. 3 months past, and finally, the day has come. His last day.

Wen’s a good friend of mine in the office, mainly because he sits next to me and we’re of about the same age (he’s older hehe), he’s really a nice guy with some weird ideas about life, he’s the guy whom I have tea-beak with, he’s the guy who advise me about my career, he’s the guy whom we climbed mount santubong with, he’s the guy whom we ran 42KM with, he’s the guy who brought me to a fortune-teller who tells me I’ll have a girl friend this year but until now I still don’t see any….he’s my colleagues….my friend. He’ll be sorely missed.

So anyways, the colleagues wanted to give him a treat and decided to go to this restaurant that nobody knows its name. Its just somewhere in pending, pending is such a huge area damn it….anyways, after some description and all, I’ve come to know that the restaurant they were talking about is the one that I went with my friends a long time ago, I vividly remember that restaurant because something bizarre happened when I was there, so I was there some time ago with a bunch of my friends, we were happily eating then suddenly a guy sitting on the next table shouted while his hand was holding his knee, something has bitten him, it turns out to be a HUGE gigantic centipede…..longer than a pen….as thick as a ruler, the centipede crawled up INSIDE his pants up to his knee and decided to give him a nasty bite, good thing the centipede decided to bite there, if it were to go any higher…..that would be something…….now that’s the reason why I was not so keen to go there but the colleagues has decided the place so I’ll just have to play along….funny thing is they insist of going there despite not knowing the name of the restaurant….I can’t understand why….all they know is its somewhere in pending……

Be prepared for lots of cam whoring….pictures are all taken at the restaurant somewhere in pending
