dateline, deadline

I've never checked what's the difference between these two words. Not much difference, I persuaded myself. It's just an unduly bug on the last day of the year. A rough one, I reckon.

Watching Justin (Nah... not the HK shortie singer that takes singing as shrieking) serving so hard while Amelie (the male commentator seems biased for Mauresmo...Oh no Amelie, No Amelie, That's not a good sign for Amelie, She deserves all the credits and the set.. bla bla bla... well, I am very fine with that :D) desparately finding the correct tune (which she did at last) in my dust-free hometown wasn't really a luxury. Having seabass for dinner though, from the newly opened Malaysian-owned leading chain restaurant at my hometown (imagine that!) , a little luxurious,revealed that the recipe isn't secret anyway. It's the same everywhere else!

I had my annual xmas gathering in KL and back to Penang for a few days of work before another four days of holidays back home. The dinner was as old as it was, as warm as it was, as many laughters as it was.


The only picture that we managed to ask one of the seemingly ever-and-over-occupied waiters/resses in the new chilis in one u to snap. Better than none, that's it!



We spent 4 to 5 hours in the restaurant (I think the captain disliked us for that!) playing games, swapping and swapping the gifts (it came back to everyone first choice! fate.) and getting penalties like this.


Which one do you want?

It's lovely enough for a new year. Happy New Year to all!

Road to Changlun

I took this gloomy picture, sitting behind in a car, after visiting a fast-recovering friend staying adjacent to the Siamese border. It does not lead you to any state of melancholia though. It was a peaceful evening on the familiar long straight highway back to the hometown with your old faithful buddies.

so long

so long since my last post. nothing much, just a different job function, a new boss, a new cubical in a new building, a new shopping mall, a new pair of jeans, a new long-sleeve shirt for weddings, and probably a rejuvenation of views towards life and its components.

xmas is coming. and i will tell you a joke.

a colleague forwarded me a hilarious mail. let me quote part of it

" I learned that if the date code ends with an even number, it is manufactured in Santa Claus. If it ends with an odd number, it is manufactured in Germany. Then later every part is manufactured in Santa Claus. May I know when does this occur?
Those parts with date code ended with odd number that had moved to Santa Claus, does the design change applied on these parts also?"

it was supposed to be santa clara. exhilaration over xmas was too overwhelming i perhap.


do not laugh. do not laugh. do not laugh.


just highlight.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
