take me to end of my toes

just one of those days (sadly it's been one of those days for 3 years now)...

wouldn't be cool if talked like an irishman, no seriously. i think the coolest way to speak english is if you speak like the irish, not the scots though. sometimes i can't tell the difference but what the hell. i wanna speak like an ulsterman now...

i wanna kick my habit of bitting my nails, you guys should look at my fingers. sometimes even i'm embarrassed at the way it looks, from all the nail nibblings. someone...'someone' once gave me an idea, worked for like a month, then i became a raging nail bitter...

now all i am is a non irish speaking , lonely, nail bitter...

knights of the round table...

the guys at the office are saying that i'm starting to come to wirk earlier and earlier by each day; the only deduction i can come out is, 1 of two things. no.1 either i have started to enjoy working or no.2, i have no choice. i doubt its the first one.

in a day if i have to attend 3 meetings, i'd say the day is already unproductive. i'm not complaining about the free currypuff and coffee (not that i drink coffee) but hey guys, haven't you heard nike say, 'Just Do It' or was it Toyota 'Do It Now'...

ever since i got here i'v seen two guys from my department leave, one yesterday handed in his notice. i'm starting to wonder whether is this an internal issue or just a trend of people jumping jobs. then again there a few senior engineers here who've been here for a few years and i mean a FEW years. so i can't just yet put my finger on it but no doubt i'll grasp it in days to come. there is a things around here where everyone says, no stays in here for more than 2 years, who knows...

life can get good to you, sometimes...

ssssstt...neverland

remember the fairytale where the princess kisses the frog and it turns into prince charming, get this..

a snake, a pitvipet bites me in the foot, i die but the snake dies too. then i turns into a ghila monster. you guys know what a ghila monster is? a gecko with poisons more deadly than snake.

freaaaaky!!!

i'm like now sitting with my legs up in the chair.

i said....peanuts,

not pee on my nuts...

so finally got my voice back today, half way thru the day, sudden;y, 'he speaksss...' ofcourse knowing me, only took 30 minutes before it became 'he has spoken'. iwas so upset when i saw the line. i know one of my biggest flaws is that i am a perfectionist. worst still if its not perfect i just tend to make it worst, just kinda like destroying that which is not perfect.

unfortunately i can't say that about this line, it's my rice bowl (what were the odds of me saying that?). i've learnt the art of biting only what i can chew, baby steps..lets see where this ends. probably right back bitting my ass but what the hell eh...

has anyone not watched 'Take the Lead' yet? wanna watch?

it's all jolly good....hell yeah?

i wanna know my enemy but how, when i am my own enemy.

it has already been one whole month since i started working here and thus far i can say its not all bad. i have some amazing friends here. the team i'm working with, well i csn say, with assurance, have my back covered. and thats very assuring to know. knowing what i am to do that worries me. i have been here a month and i have not done what i am suppose to be doing, and that in a few words or less, SUX...

so much for last weekend being the first i was off, i'm soo sick right now. i came home half day yesterday, thinking a little rest will do me better but i guess not. i'm on medical again today. shit man..thats 3 in a month, not good.

oh well, as long as i'm not faking it or whatever...(wink wink, who knows ehh)

Bombay Inc.

i dunno if it's the saree's or the hot mamasita under all that silk....*slurppp, so anyone wanna go bollywood?

wanna wear pampers ah?

you give them an inch and they want a mile...sound familiar?

some people think that for every job that comes their way, there is an idiot they can push it to. then again i don't blame jack-asses like these, cause as long as there are idiots around people like this will thrive.

i'm sorry, the idiot has left the building, YOU DO YOUR JOB, I DO MY JOB...

seriously la, do you really need an engineer to put tape on the floor as an indication for the layout. seriously, a fucking engineer to do this, a 6 year old can do this laaa. stupidity is a crime and sorry to say, in this plant stupidy reigns.

and the hits just keep oooooon coming.

my old demons are back, boredom...

why is it i get bored of doing something when i do it a few times over? the question that dams me to eternal boredom. its only been a few weeks and i'm bored with the line i'm taking care of already, aiyaaaa....

must find other things to do (cannot tell my boss i'm bored as well, dunno how she'll take it).

later....

it's done and dusted..

Italy now have 4 stars on their jersey, bloody Azurri. Tifossi i don't mind, Azurri i got problem. anyways it was a very good finals though. both of the teams played well and both of them would have deserved the cup. but there has to be a loser. i think the biggest loser would have been Zizu, man what a way to bow out of an illustrious career.

well time we focused on other things in life. husbands start talking back to your wives, employees can finally go to work wihtout the red eyes and zombie look. bookie's can start shooting those who haven't pay up or vice-versa.

(Italy v France in Germany = Ferrari, Frech GP and Michael Schumacher)

can i talk about anything else but sports and work??!

errrmmm...nope

later.

weirdos 101

first page,

okay..my car has one of those window visors, and they 'were' black. now i used the words were because now they are blue?????????????????????????????

some dumb fuck decided the black would look better on his car, so he takes my original TRD window visors and stuck his cheap blue ones onto my car. for fuck sakes la, just steal it and don't do me any favors.

second page,

who bloody works on a sunday, eve of the World Cup finals?

third page

(continuation from page 2) so tomorrow more than half my department is gonna be on a holiday. so my boss looks at me and says 'don't even think about it'. the last 3 world cups i've watched the finals in HRC, i wish i can go tonight, but work beckons. i've been trying to follow this WC and unfortunately i've only like watched a total of 10 or 11 matches. sad but hey, gotta grow up some day.

fourth page,

wadya you know, i'm the star to the musical theme lone ranger and one day i'm gonns be famous and shine like a real star...(comepletely no idea where this is coming from but sounds real)

fifth page,

the end, btw i hope France win tonight.

dey, my grandmother can kick better than that lar!

phases comes in 3, agree? okay, now that i've made that point, time to move onto more presing issues...

Brazil 0 - 1 France

that makes the tally now to France 3 and Brazil 1 on international grounds. now come on, how many people actually thought Brazil would make it to the finals, no seriously how many? the way they've been playing, i mean seriously, there was no Brazilian flare. the 1994 team with Rai, Romario, Bebeto, Leonardo, Dunga and Tafarrel, now that was a true Brazialian Samba boys. these guys are like a bunch completely worned out boys. sad to see them go but hey, nice to see Henry back on the mark.

two huge games next, Germany v Italy and Portugal v France. great for the neutrals, not really for the weak hearted.

next on the sports headlines;

Michael Schumacher and Filipe Massa takes the front row at Indianapolis starting grids. Indy has always been Ferrari's hunting ground. but as usual i'm more interested in seeing how well Alonso is gonna do here. the dude is really on form. it is really amazing to see him attack the track, he is rarely fighting his car for control, like a train on rails. hey don't get me wrong, i'm still tifossi and a huge Schumacher die hard but it's gut gripping to see Alonso's drive. i wish Kimi and Button start to pull a little more weight in the game.

tomorrow,

back to work, i hope hell cools down a little (who am i kidding). i have this feeling, someone is gonna blow his top tomorrow and me and my counterpart is gonna be the ones facing his fiery. there are so many times i'm asking myself why involve myself in things that have nothing to do with the department, then again thats a completely different story, another time perhaps.

on another note, hope you're not feeling too lonely, call me, we'll hang out, have a couple beers and throw some ground nuts around =P

later...

you got my balls in your mouth....

GAWDDDDDD....

'shit happens' a known fact world wide. but raining shit is right down plain stupidity. and like you guys know, i believe stupidity is a crime, punishable by any force necessary.

wake up engineers!!!

what i tell you, huh....

told you we'd beat Argentina..

Germany 1 - 1 Argentina
penalty(4 - 2)

i tell you this was a finals match man. there was no way the semi finals nor the finals for that matter is going to be as exciting as this one was. it was a real tough match, 7 yellow cards and my heart goes out for Ballack man, the dude was imobolie for so long cause he was injured but still was on the field, even stepped up to take a penalty. amazing match lerrr!

and i have to apologize to my neighbours for all the screaming. oh yeah, somebody owes me coffee bean iced chocolate, yummy yummy...

later, gotta run back to work.

tick tock, tingggg...

my mind is playing tricks on me again.

as i was driving to work the yesterday, suddenly it struck me that i'm on the wrong route and i started panicking, why i have no idea. the fact was that i WASN'T on the wrong route but on the right one. what triggered my mind to react in this was i have no idea. whats worst is that it happened again this morning. am i losing it?

my mom asked me how come i'm coming back so late everyday?

'last time when working in Melacca, cannot wait to come back home during the weekends, now already living home, got no heart to come home is it?'

i learnt that stabilizing a production line is not easy, it takes a lot of hard work, dedication and loads of discipline. i tell you sometime i just wanna scold the operators who just simply do things even though we tell them not too, but i also pity them. they're in ancient engineering term 'donkey directives', one command one action. and it should be my restrain from thinking they can do otherwise...la la la why do i always talk about work work work...

okay lets see,

So my team is in the semifinals, Germany vs Argentina. you know that guy on Astro, Shebby. he believes that if Germany can beat Argentina, they'll win the world cup. i hope he's right. in my opinion, the two strongest teams in the world cup were the Spanish and the Argentinians, so much for spain. bring it one Argentina.

this weekend is also GP weekend, and can't get any bigger than this one, Indy. argh argh argh...

okay gotta go for my morning meeting, later...

dead in two...

the difference between 1 and 2 is a fractions of mishaps. not long before one thing slips and you fall, okay enough of talking like i have a point...

week two in Flex,

i been asked to use not just my legs and arms but my brains, i've been told i know nuts, i've been told i'm not doing anything to solve the problem.

and it was all a case of mistaken identity. more like mistaken jobscope or designation. so in just 2 weeks, i've had 4 urges, to slap the process engineer, QA engineer, production supervisor and the process trainer. there is shit in so many different shades.

you know this new job might just be the thing i need to lose weight. the production floor is so huge, i walk about 8km in a day. and sometimes the work out is good, although sawing off tables without a jigsaw seems a little under fetched. being an industrial engineer, and automatically people think you're the furniture guy. or the guy who gets you the computer. people, people, we do layouts and set ups, we're not the movers or DHL. its gonna take me awhile to learn to ignore idiots.

'Macha, you're gonna get into a lot of trouble with your mouth' - Navein...

okay, enough about work. what else, errrmm...

ohh, thats all folks.

first weeeeeek

i have long wondered how it'd be like to be working with a bunch of engineers trying to solve problems and coming up with new idea to improve, and last week i got that feeling. for the first time i felt like an engineer.

besides that i'm just a blur....

aiyoo..my kaki man...

so tomorrow will be my first day at Flextronic. so the dream to work in a big multinational corperation has been smelt and driven home, whats next? BMW, here i come...

so my prediction for the WC not too bad;

Trinidad & Tobago 0-0 Sweden
Argentina 2-1 Ivory Coast

as usual, the disgrace of the beautiful game was seen yesterday, play acting. don't these players realize how many cameras there are on the pitch, and how many replay we fans and officials watch, for fuck sakes la, we have player cams that follow each and every player, so wise up la you dungus, you're playing on the world stage.

i'll miss tonights matches, i need to sleep early. wish me luck for Flex tomorrow.

Errrmmm...

i've been a bad blogger and i have a confesion to make; i haven't read anyone's blog since February....

what is with the English game, that England game was soooo boring, exception to the first 15 minutes.

England 1-0 Paraguay

who is up to see what Trinidad & Tobago, Sweden, Argentina and Ivory Coast can do in the tournament. amazing a few days ago i wasn't giving jack shit who's who or whats the score, today i wanna know. football fever is more dangerous than the Ibola virus.

my prediction, Argentina are gonna put 5 past Ivory Coast and Sweden is gonna go 1 a piece with the Trinidians. lets see if i can become a pundit.

later...

how do Porcupines mate?

so i decided i should be more involved with the World Cup season, so i stayed up till 5 to watch both opening matches;

Germany 4-2 Costa Rica
Poland 0-2 Ecuador

a good start for the host nation, i've never seen a more attack focused German side since 1990. but my favorite German squad will always be the 1996 Euro cup team. anyways, tonight we get to see if England are up for it.

hey...has anyone watched Cars yet, man i would love to be a car, i wish my life was like the movie. and the rumour was actually true, Pixars actually went and got Michael Schumacher to do the voice for a Ferrari. but overall i loved the movie, just loved it.

speaking of Schumacher, tonight is the qualifying rounds for the British GP, its a great venue for some racing action. its a horsepower track so its gonna be a level plane for most of the teams, but i'm looking forward to see how Renault do here, if they win it, the season is theirs, i guarantee it.

onto other things...

its weird how someone can make you feel better when they're around and for some reason you realize they're just procrastinating the inevitable, the seperation that was destined. sometimes you realize you are alone even though you're surrounded by people and yet sometimes you have so many people thinking of you even though you're surrounded by silence and darkness..and i have no clue what was my point that i am trying to make.

on a seperate note;

how important is it for you, when love making, your mate goes down on you?

later...

p.s; the answer to the title is unsuccesfully.

World Cup 2006

who is it gonna be this time around? Brazil again, or one of the european countries? or one of the biggest upsets on the world stage. well, like they say. football is a crazy world.

everyone seems to be talking about the WC but i'm not really bothered about it, i dunno why. maybe for the fact that my football kaki's are all miles away or the fact that i'm more an F1 fan, or i'm starting a new job on monday (Flextronics), or i've become a Fottball Widower.

lately i'm doing a lot of thinking, especially about the future, and that usually spell disaster for me. i'm thinking beyond my boundries and i should rev down. in the words of F1, i have to go on an economy drive when it come to thining, and the best way for me to stop thinking is eating, and that spells disaster for my waiste line.

fat, sad and god knows what else, later...
