Patrick

When we are little kid, our mum or dad forced us to read kindergarten book or children book. I remember I used to read Peter and Jane, it went like this "This is peter and this is Jane. This is Pat, the dog."





So now, let me introduce you in such a way, "This is Patrick and this is my hand." Say "Hi" to my new dog to accompany my friend.

Isn't it cute? Eh, actually it's quite obedient too and it doesn't eat, sleep or dump any faeces around your house or better, doesn't make a mess at your furniture or bite the postman. One thing for sure, it doesn't even bark. But it's really nice to hold at it.

Bankruptcy

Upon paying the bill for the meal, my friend looked at my wallet, and heard a loud echo sound beaming back at her. Both of us smiled.

"I shall say that we should declare bankruptcy for today!"

My friend quickly stopped me, "Nope, look we still have some!" and she brandished out some leftover cash. Recalculating how much left, we agreed that we could still go for a movie. Looking and sneaking around at the cinema for a decent movie with a decent time, we found one.

As we pay for the ticket, the empty echo sounded again. This time my friend looked at me again and I smiled back.

"I shall say that we declare bankruptcy for the second time!"

This time my friend couldn't disagree with me and tag along to the cinema..

Later, my friend went to "rob" the ATM for some cash but not long, my friend stumbled upon a very nice clothing. Not too long, she hurried to the counter and used the money. This time another empty echo sounded from my friend.

"I shall really say that we declare bankruptcy for the third time!"

My friend laughed at me. How many times can one go broke in a day?

Xmas

It's a holi-holiday season, and someone is coming to town. The so-called man is called Santa Claus.

"Yeah, it's Xmas!"

Merry Xmas to all and have fun admist some countries who banned it. Well, it's still worth to celebrate and enjoy and be happy. No harm in getting yourself the happy mood. Cheer and Ho! Ho! HO!

Bye Bye Kuala Lumpur...

Alrighty, I am moving up north today. The fate of Is Sky The Limit : Episode 3 will be decide again at a later date. Is Sky The Limit : Episode 3 has been running for almost 3 years now and to stop it would be a very sad thing for my silent readers.

co author : eh... your blog ada orang baca ka?.

main author : just keep your mouth shut ok?. Bagi lar sokongan sikit...

Nevertheless, I know some of you out there had thought that my blog is no longer active. Given the fact, I hardly submitted many entries for half past year.

Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to tell all of you in Kuala Lumpur to be happy with everything (including price hikes!). I will be settling down in Penang today.

Therefore, have faith in everything you do...

Oh god... I need to go back to gym!

It has been nearly two years that I had gone to the gym to keep up with my fitness. Just this morning, after 15 minutes of warm up:

- my early morning jog, I had to slow down a few times to keep up with my breath. In the end, i just take a walk...

- my arm muscle pain like hell even though I started with a dumb bell weighing 1.25kg...

- my push up was a struggled too... up until 15 (though standard...)

- and my sweat like a pig... damn!

This justify one thing - I NEED MORE EXERCISING!

is sky the limit... i need to exercise more... more... MORE!

Laptop Selection

Last week, admidst the exams, my professor required my expertise in selecting a new laptop. Admidst the hustle of looking for the right one and the fair price, he went on to another choice which was from another lecturer.

[Banged my head on the wall.]

Thus, in conclusion, even with advice, the final decision can be misleading and it's all up to you.

Guns and Zombies

"Look, dude, it's exam period, what are you doing with those guns and zombies?"

"Morning, mate, I'm gunning down my stress on these zombies..."

It's exams week and wish everyone "Good Luck especially me, I'm selfish so I needed more than you guys or gals out there!" hahaha Just kidding.

"Good Luck!"

Prof. Dr. Vijay R. Raghavan - Evolution in Heat Transfer -

This is the picture of us with Dr. Chandra Suresh. Sorry, just kidding, not the father of Mohinder Suresh but of Dr. Vijay R. Raghavan. This is my first experience working with a professor, a doctorate philosophy great man from India. Though the first few months with him was hard as he demands great works. The result was paid off and satisfying.

Left -right: [You can't missed the Prof. Dr. Vijay, find yourself!]

Actually, I believed he has the same status of Dr. Chandra Suresh. Too bad, he's leaving from UTHM to UTP so UTP students, you're lucky bastards.

Fancy a char siew pau and one teh oh ais?

Twisted Thoughts : A world stop for meal...

Ed: A long story for you to read and to waste your time... it does not have a happy ending... Enjoy!

Blue sky, chirping birds, and the sound of happy children screaming and playing with each other in the public park. You are sitting by a bench, reading your newspaper and on your right is a cup of tasty capuccino. It was a good Sunday morning to be out in the park. Suddenly, you hear faint noises from somewhere and the children has stopped playing. There were no more happy voices. No more chirping birds and the sky is calm. You looked around the park to find the children had stood there with their eyes close. The whole town had became very quiet. You do not feel good at all. You put down your newspaper and nearly tumble over your capuccino.


You looked around the park again. Some cars had stopped in the middle of the road. They [drivers] had closed their eyes too. No one moved at all. What was going on? Your mind was searching for an answer as to why this occurences had happened. Of course, this had never before happen in your town. Furthermore, you had never seen such a bizarre incident in your whole life. You felt very uneasy to this circumstances and you walked slowly to the nearest child. A girl aged 10, black hair and had two ponytails. She was still holding her ice cream. The ice cream had melted and it was dripping all over her hands. You touched the girl's shoulder. The girl did not moved at all. You pinched her arm so to see if she will come back. She stirred a bit but not moved after that.


You ran to a nearby car and knocked on the driver's door. The driver did not moved at all. Then, you ran to the nearest store and dashed into it. There was no one in there. Strange and it was getting stranger. You had walked the whole store and no one was there. It was too quiet. It was impossible for people to disappear just like that. You started to get panic. You made a run for the store's door. The moment you walked out the town was no longer the same anymore. The kids supposed to be in the park were no longer there. Cars now stood there without drivers. Where had they all gone? You looked at your watch. The time has stopped at exactly 9.00 am and the dial no longer turning anymore.


The sun was still shining as bright as ever. You do not know the time anymore. You walked down the lane to see if there are anyone around the corner. The whole stretch of shoplots were empty. You made another run to your apartment to see if your housemates still there. You ran and ran and as fast as you could to reach your home. While you were running a few blocks, not a single person could be seen. Mrs Della no longer in her garden watering her lovely roses. Mr Harker no longer sitting underneath his favourite apple tree and reading his newspaper. The newspaper were left on the ground. The whole neighbourhood had became dead and quiet like the graveyard at night. You are now just one block from your apartment when you saw someone at the back of Mrs Prim's backyard. Who might it be?


You stopped running and sneaked towards the backyard silently. You lean on the wall and slowly walked quietly to the mysterious being at the back of Mrs Prim's backyard. You kept hold of your breathe and slowly turned your head to looked at the person. The person was doing something to a thing on the ground. It looked like it was trying to stuff something into it or out of it which you could not see. The person had dressed in a black furry outfit and you could not make anything out of it. The head was hairy and its hands was rough and looked strong too. What was it doing? You tried to moved closer to the thing that was pushing something or rather seems to be forcing it self on something. Before you moved to it, you looked around for anything that resembled a weapon in case it attacked. You found a garden hoe. You took hold of it and slowly move towards the black thing. "Hey, what are you doing?" you yelled at him and with your garden hoe ready in your both hands. The black thing turned around with surprise. "Oh my god!", you gasped when you finally known what the person was doing. It was a very horrible creature with potruding pair of white fangs and yellowish eyes.


A dead girl with her hands still dangling out of its stomach. Partial of her head was still portruding out of it too. The creature started growling and snarling at you. It yellowish eyes stared hard at you. You hold tight to your garden hoe and ready to strike at it. The creature made a jump to get hold of you. You swung your garden hoe at it. The garden hoe's spike claw striked its head and it went down with a loud thud. The head was bleeding profusely and some parts of its internal organ had stucked to the hoe. Then you heard something moving at the end of Mrs Prim's bushes of roses. Another similar creature had came out and followed by another one. The latter creature was bigger comparing to the other one. There are two hideous creature facing you now. You made a run for your life. You can sense them behind chasing you. What are these things? Where are all the people? Where did these creatures come from?


You ran nonstop and did not even turned back to look at it. You jumped over a high fence and you could hear the fence being thrashed as they chased after you. They were gaining speed and you can hear them growling behind you. Oh god! You better ran faster. Onwards, you skipped over a chair and ran on. You kept on jumping over every hurdles and kept on running for your dear life. Where shall I hide myself? I must find a place to hide at once. You cannot imagine yourself slowing down to open a door, ran into it and to close it just in time before it can grab you. You kept on thinking where you can hide before these creatures catches you. You were running too fast and at one corner you had turned and hit your head hard against a broken sign board that was hanging low on one side of the wall. Your eyes had became heavy. You felt dizziness and the place was swirling around you. You wanted to stand up and kept on running away from the dangerous creatures. Your heart was pounding harder and harder then suddenly became weaker and weaker. Just before you fainted, you saw a few black hairy feets came running towards you.


Two black hairy creatures stood beside you and many came out from buildings. They came so close and surrounded you. "What shall we do with this boy?" said the other taller and bigger black creature. "We will keep him in a place hidden from anyone" said another. Every black creature nodded. Thus, all of them started to changed into normal human being. Mrs Della, Mr Harker and Mrs Prim were one of the black creatures. Those kids dissappeared from the park earlier had return to playing normally. Sound of birds chirping and and the town streets are now alive with cars and people can be seem strolling and talking. Shops are now filled with laughters and voices of people bargaining with owners. Everything had returned to normal.


Meanwhile in one tall white building far away from the town, a boy was screaming madly and kept on telling of black creatures devouring human. "Help! help! You don't understand! There are aliens out there that eat people!" Two male nurses managed to strap him to the bed before the boy could hurt himself. A doctor quickly administered an injection to sedate the patient. "I must say this boy is tough to handle, the council should have killed the boy that day", a man was speaking to someone in the observation room. "Yes, too fortunate, that day we had reached our quota so the boy was lucky!" said the mysterious person. The person had hidden himself in one dark corner of the observation room. He was there and then he was gone. "Doctor, we still have a contract, do you understand?" and that was the last word from the mysterious person. The doctor had stood there by the observation glass long before he nodded silently. "Yes, we do".

Nissan Pivot 2

Abstract from:
[http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071005/bs_afp/japanautocompanytechnologynissan_071005161109]

NISSAN Pivo 2
TOKYO (AFP) - Japan's Nissan Motor Co. on Friday unveiled a new version of its egg-shaped Pivo concept car that can drive sideways and has a small robot to assist with navigation or calm down angry drivers.
The Pivo 2 three-seater electric car has wheels that can turn 90 degrees for easy parallel parking.
Like its predecessor, which was unveiled two years ago, the new Pivo has a cabin able to revolve 360 degrees, eliminating the need to reverse.
A round-eyed robot head sitting on the dashboard has cameras that can tell when a driver is getting sleepy.
"You look tired. There's a coffee shop 500 metres ahead on the left," it told a driver with drooping eyelids during a recent demonstration.
It can also nod or shake its head, helping to improve the mood of irate or glum drivers.
The car has "by-wire" technologies that use electric signals in the steering and braking.
Unlike the first Pivo, it has no axles. Instead it has four separate electric motors, allowing the wheels to turn further than a conventional car.
The Pivo 2 will be exhibited at the Tokyo Motor Show near the capital from October 27.

The ShareBlogHolder

The co - author looked through the company database.


"Ah, I been in two years already? Time flew fast and it's going to the end?"


"Sigh, the biggest shareholder CEO of ISTL is going to close the company?"


"Guess, I need to look for jobstreetforbloggers.com soon! I have no family yet like the 'tauke' (refering to the biggest shareholder of the ISTL) but I still need money for my 'big' 'big' future, I be needing money to do 'big' company, do 'big' projects and do 'big' researches and earn 'big' money!"


Time flew so fast that my actual "Sensei", "Si-fu", "Jedi" or "Guru" or "father of the Mohinder Suresh" or whatever you called it the supervisor. He's leaving in the early November back to god forsaken place called India. He lost the battle against the force of the evil. "Evil" as in E.V.I.L. subgroup of the UMBRELLA CORP.


Sad to see him leaving and going to another research facilities. I'm surely going to miss him since he's the one who provoke, bash, forge, bludgeons, manufacture, clobber and mould me into a better person I'm standing or writing right now this moment.


And, it's a double sad ending, I shall always remember his famous word: "Darn it!".

Weekend with Ah Moon

Spent two night and three days with Ah Moon and one of the night, I shot the Moon too! Lol Here's the picture:

It's Time! I am leaving Kuala Lumpur...

It is going to be 3 years for ISTL and its about time I have to think of whether to continue this blog. At the start of this blog in the early 2005, I had planned this to be a 3 episodes Is Sky The Limit and December is also coming. Oh dear, what am I going to do? Another reason, recently I had taken a major decision to leave Kuala Lumpur and go up north to settle down for my own family. I wonder what will it be for this blog in the coming months. God knows.

For the last 3 years, I have churned out some Twisted Thoughts series and lately a new series called Future Scenario series to this blog. Apart from that, I had also enlisted Crude Hastings aboard ISTL, last two years, to fill in some entry while I am away getting new stuffs to contribute in here. So the last month's dinner I had with the girls and all of them brought up the very same question:

Lately, I noticed you hardly update your blog... sometimes its late... not as daily as it was...

Jules (about 7 months pregnant): yeah... not updated why?

Padme : no ideas isn't it?

Mitch : hehehehe... dah kering...

Me : No lar... working every day and every night... have to finish this and finish that... sometimes... no Internet access...

Jules : hahahaha... no lar... must be the wife is not around... so no inspiration!

Padme and Mitch : yeah!!!

Me : eh no lar...

Well on one hand. its true also that my wife plays a big role inspiring me some ideas to write in this blog. Now, she is in Penang and I am here in Kay El alone... its pretty lonely sometimes.

So apart from whether to end this blog or continue it, I have made another biggest decision...

I HAVE RESIGNED AND GOING TO PENANG TO SETTLE DOWN!!!

is sky the limit... Penang! Here I come!
