3rd5th book from this inspirational writer (3rd of his BestSellers). Since Popular, Perangin only get 60 of this in hardcover, I've bought 2 but still worry that I've not got enough of this book. I've given a handful of friends Micth's titles for birthdays, I believe "for one more Day" will be a sell-out as well. Will write a review once I've finished this book.

Gonna fly tomorrow, hopefully will be having a great time with my 4-years-old partner.

DeepaRaya celebration is just few short days away. Since it's my first year at work, I took the initiative to send some of the people at work a Seasonal Greeting card, just for the sake of it. But I've received a mixed expression from different people, let me share what I've observed.

I can't differenciate a Deep-Indian and a Chris-Indian just by their name. Neither do I have an idea what these people are celebrating. From what I've read up, Thaipusam is celebrated by Hinduism while Deepavali @ Diwali is more widely celebrated, and also known as the "Festival of Lights". There are these indians who kindly tell me they are christians

But they is still one who pisses me off saying, "You are a Malaysian, you should know how to differentiate these festivals". KNN! As if he would know what we are doing on the 7th day of the lunar january. Or why we eat rice packed in banana leaves instead of eating it with curry.

Anyway, I went back early today like my usual routine. I'm glad to see that everyone I've pass the greeting cards to bring back the greeting card happily with them. Mr J even gave me a handshake eventhough he is no longer managing the same production line.

Lesson Learnt: A simple gesture of respecting other's religion can bring you happiness. "Giving is better than Receiving", the ability to give proves that we are capable and lucky, and we should thank God for that.

Apologies for the lack of posts lately. Have a hard time troubleshooting my monitor/graphic interface problem. I'm so frustrated that I went to purchase an original copy of WindowsXP which I need to fork out RM330 for. After installation still the problem arise. I'll most probably bring my monitor for a check next weekend or so.

Let's talk about something I've learnt from a foreign partner I'm working with. You might find odd at first when you see him talking to himself while troubleshooting. What surprises me is that he never have proper on job training other than hands on experience.

This friend from the land of rising sun told me there's no new engineers since he is responsible of a particular job 14 years ago~!!! Imagine a guy working on the same thing for such a long time, without aid from younger engineers...isn't that worse than what we have in Malaysia? People are complaining that Malaysia salary low, work is tough...wait till they hear about ppl in densed developed country who have to travel 8 hours to work here with us.

According to my seniors, he was so into his job that he hit the machine which caused a permanent scar on his face. Can't remember how many stiches he has to go through, but everyone was having a hard time as the machine have to be seal down temporarily, and sponges are placed on the place that he accidentally hit.

It's normal for me to work until 8pm, but for these people...they wouldn't feel odd to go back at 10pm even when they are working in Malaysia. The workaholic habit is already burried deep within them. Luckily I get to go back around 9pm, where I still have time to do the following:

1) Rush to the nearest shopping complex to buy WindowsXP
2) Drove to another location to get Seasonal Greeting Cards ( the Deeparaya Celebration is just around the corner)
3) Wander around Bayan Lepas area to find TheStar Northern Region printing office.

Before I call it a day, still have to perform installation, call Irene, and "socialize" with my family. Life is tough, tough is life. When I'm not down on medical reasons, I'll make full use of the time I have spare.

I was lucky to get an offer from a local bird photography enthusiast to join him for a session. Since Irene's friends dump her for a movie, I asked her to tag along eventhough I didn't inform this kind generous guy. But I believed she has a once in a lifetime experience in the Wild Wild West.


Sulessia (simply call su) was rather hesitant when he saw me bringing a friend along. It's not like he's not friendly or what, but a LandCruiser can only fit 2 photographers. Since she isn't there for the photography, it's okey for her to just be there and enjoy the wild outdoors.


We went into the wilds for about 3 hours, getting just few feets away from those birds. My most unforgetable experience is when I snap this kingfisher with a flash, talking away like i don't care...yet he's standing there with his various pose.


For this shot of a Brown Shrike grabing a frog, Su's using a 300mmf2.8 (RM6000 for a 2nd hand~!!!) with a D200 body while I'm merely using a D70s with a consumer Sigma 70-300 to get this shot. Rather "beh tahan" with such a miss. Can't get a retake of this bird eating a frog as my card was full at the least expected time. Will most probably be joining him again, hopefully with deligence, I might be able to get a small collection of photos, just like the master.

Not like I wanted it to happen, but all my contents have been gone with the webserver. Apologies to all my readers who are trying to get backdated news. I guess you'll have to do with text files for now.

I am to blame also since I don't backup my servers that very often. But on the contrary, isn't it good to start things anew? Hope that's true.

Anyway...I'll keep you peeps posted of my updates
