So tired after hiking from my office in Wisma Goldhill to Bukit Nanas then to the famous porridge stall in Jln Tun Siew Sin for dinner. And under the drizzle of rain the entire time.
Oh, feeling so exhausted after some 5km (agaknya)walk, even more tired than after my usual Bukit Nanas climb.
Please bear with me as I'm still 'diligently' working on my next posting. I assure you though, the wait shall not be long and before you know it, it will all be over.
Just like England's time in this World Cup ;P
Subkhi who...?
I feel so proud watching this guy in the Chile vs Spain match now that I just have to tell you about him.. (no la, not a footballer)
(From Wikipedia)
Subkhiddin Mohd Salleh (born November 17, 1966) is a Malaysian football referee who currently resides in Parit Buntar. He has been a full international referee for FIFA since 2000.
He was selected as a referee for the 2007 FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Canada, where he refereed the group stage match between Panama and Argentina, the quarterfinal between Chile and Portugal, where he sent off three players.
In the latter match, he was involved in a bizarre incident where Portuguese player Zéquinha took the red card out of his hand while sending off Manu, much to the bemusement of spectators and sports commentators, which in turn led to the prompt sending-off of the player. He blew the whistle as well at the match between Scotland and Costa Rica.
He was selected as a referee for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The first game he handled is as a fourth official in the opening match of FIFA World Cup 2010 between South Africa and Mexico. The second game he took off is between Ghana and Serbia on 12.6.2010 and the final game is between Brazil and North Korea on 15.6.2010.
The Malaysian born referee is the first referee in the country to be selected to represent FIFA World Cup Final.
Way to go, bro!! ^>^

what i read in the papers...
My jaw dropped seeing this article in The Star yesterday.
Did you drop yours too??
And what about this - an auction opened to public for government-seized assets!
Seized from who ah? i wunder...
250 pieces of fine jewellery and watches to be auctioned off. Like this Rolex.
Hmm, if I want one of these diamond rings, I wonder if they would cost less than buying them from a jewellery store.
Hmmm... ^.^

Hmmm... ^.^yey i went to kuantan today
Guess where I went today? Well, technically it should be yesterday since I'm writing this at 1.30am.
A place I've not been to in 10 years............it's in Kuantan la!
And here is me looking REAL happy after answering nature's call in the airport toilet.
It's a really really REALLY old run-down airport. I was told that business was so bad that flights by Air Asia and Firefly here has been cancelled, leaving only MAS as the sole survivor with only 3 flights a day.
And it's a really really REALLY small airport - one that takes you only 2 minutes to alight from the plane and walk out of the airport building. That's way cool from the usual 'walkathon' you need to go through when disembarking in KLIA, don't you agree?
Too bad I wasn't in Kuantan for leisure - I was to give a 2-hr briefing to the Kuantan branch agents.
I spent a generous amount of time in this little room today, reading my Star newspaper. Again. And again.
Then again.
You see, due to the very limited flight times, timing wasn't really according to MY convenience, so there were lots of 'idle time' spent waiting for the briefing to start.
Of course I also had to (pretend to) go through my training slides.
Still (pretending to be) going through them...
Until I was beginning to fade away .... ... ... .....

Anyhow, briefing was done for a group of 18 agents and in no time, I was back in my favourite room of the day, to 'goyang kaki'.

I recall 2 interesting encounters with both my cab drivers today.
I recall 2 interesting encounters with both my cab drivers today.The one who picked me up at 6.30am to KLIA actually had to use his GPS to get there!
And the frigging GPS must have gone bonkers az it kept going 'Recalculating....Recalculating....Recalculating.....' -_-

Makes me wonder that with GPS nowadays, ALL of us could be taxi drivers dy, man!
My so-called 'limo' driver that brought me home just now was even funnier.
Next time you travel by road from KLIA back to KL city (using MEX highway), first chance you get to seeing the KL Tower and Twin Towers against the skyline, try and notice what's on the right side of the Twin Towers.
It is what appears to be a VERY huge ring of bright gleaming orange lights floating in the sky.
After a few discussions, oddly we came up with this conclusion -
It's a U.F.O.
Funny thing was, as he drove further on,
all of a sudden, it was clearer to us and we both went
'OHHHHHHHHHHH.....'
It was Genting Highlands.
waaah...3 months maternity leave??
Trust Citibank to be the pioneer of new things.
How about this next..
'AXA is the first insurance company in Malaysia to introduce 3 months maternity leave.'
sweet.
