::: Fluffy the Great :::

By Adrian 0 Comments
Categories: life

Oh before I set off for my CNY break, here’s a little update for those of you who loves Fluffy…

After getting the haircut, Fluffy has been lethargic and he won’t sleep at night. At first I thought because he couldn’t get used to the new hairstyle, or that he thinks the new hairstyle is ugly (I know that sounds silly), and also because Fluffy has shed off so many pounds of hair, he suddenly feels light and can have more energy to run around. Unfortunately, he has been restless, and he has been running around at night under the bed. So we had deciced to take him to the vet for a quick check-up.

What the doctor revealed was that Fluffy has an upset stomach and the vet gave him some kind of blue pills and a big ass injection.

Now Fluffy has been tired all the time after the vet visit, and he now has a sore ass where the vet injected on him.

We plan on an operation for Fluffy to take out his internal testicle. Yup, our dog is a single-testicle dog. What it means is that one of his testicles is left inside his body, and the other one is normal. The vet explained that due to body temperature difference, it can be pretty uncomfortable for him, and also the internal testicle will die and will develope into some sort of cancer.

We are not taking any chance so we have booked an appointment with the vet to perform the operation after CNY.

Other than that, Fluffy is okay. Thanks for those who care about him. Let’s hope he’ll recover soon.

I will be off to hometown today and I am having one week break! *grinz* (Don’t be jealous ya?)

What this means? Well, besides going back to hometown, Chinese New Year breaks normally mean the following:

1. I get to rest and recuperate for one whole week! Yay!

2. I can get Ang Pow (translation: red packet that contains money inside)! But some people complained that I am too darn old to receive Ang Pow. I say Fuck it. Its either you are too damn stingy or poor. If not, show me the money! Let’s hope this year will be as good as the previous year!

3. Gambling! Gambling! Gambling! Please do not misunderstand that I am addicted to gambling. For your information, I only gamble during the Chinese New Year, so its pretty much once a year. So gimme a break ya? Let’s hope this year I still have the luck to win big! If you have the luck, please play far, far away, kay?

4. Food! Nothing can beat the homecooking. Do you know that my mum is an excellent cook? Nothing beats homecooking, except maybe TukFuk restaurant in Sri Damansara… No…Hell no, nothing beats homecooking!

5. No one calling me about work and shit like that. Finally I can get it off my mind for awhile. So if you wanna call me for work-related issue, fuck off far far away please!

But this is the list what I dread:

1. Aunties will be asking me about the marriage questions, again. Like “When are you going to get married?”, “Still don’t want to settle down?”, “When is your turn to give out Ang Pow?” (Note: In Chinese tradition, only those who are married can give our the red packet), or “Still take Ang Pow? It’s time for you to give already!”
(I am considered lucky compared to my poor sisters. They will get questions like “So when are you going to have a baby?” or “When are you planning for a second baby?”… Well, before they get married, those aunties pressed my sisters about marriage. Alrighty, now that they are married, and aunties started to press for babies. Dammit, give them a break can? Why don’t you ask your daughters and sons about those questions?)

2. The boredom. Well, because my hometown has nothing much to do, so it can be pretty bored. But I have came up with plans to go out everyday to gamble, drink, gamble, and drink!

3. The same old CNY songs. They are all the same, except different singers singing it in different ways, but it is essentially the same thing. I mean, why can’t they get creative and make new songs? We have enough of the same old songs for too many fucking years!

Well, that’s it folks! I will be off for one week! I am not sure if I will be able to blog during this week. So for those who misses me, Gong Xi Fatt Cai! For those who don’t miss me: Gong Xi Fuck Cai!

::: the coffee story :::

Categories: life

This morning after sending Maria to work, I went to the Coffee Bean opposite PJ Hilton. I felt a bit hungry so I ordered a “Eggs Bent” (A slide to bread with cooked egg ontop, plus a few slices of ham in between) which comes with a small cup of coffee.

Me: “Hello. Can I upgrade the coffee to large size and make it to go?”

Storekeeper: “Sorry sir, this is a package, so we can’t upgrade it.”

Me: “But I need a large coffee.”

Storekeeper: “Well, sir, the coffee is a free-refill until 11am.”

Me: [looked at the watch] “But its already 10:40am!”

Storekeeper: “Okay sir, but you got until 11am for free refills!”

Me: “Hmmm… kay… give me one Eggs Bent then….”

***********************
Did I manage to get refills? You bet!

Anyway, what a service. Maybe they are experiencing the holiday mood and seeing that I am in casual clothing, they were jealous so the service wasn’t that good.

Damn! I missed my 3rd cup of refills! !@#$%$#!@!

Random phone conversation

Kenneth: [excited] “Dude! We are going to host a dinner on February 1st at Puchong. RM100 per pax!”

Me: [puzzle] “Huh? Why Puchong?”

Kenneth: “Coz everyone is in Puchong!”

Me: “Huh? Everyone???”

Kenneth: “Yeah, I am hosting a highschool reunion dinner during CNY! So there will be shitload of people around! Around 40 of us will be going!”

Me: “Yeah, but why Puchong? I will go back to Seremban and want me to go Puchong all the way for a dinner?”

Kenneth: “Yeah man, because EVERYONE is in Puchong. Even those in Seremban also in Puchong!”

Me: [extremely puzzle] “Hmmm… yeah… okay….”

Kenneth: “And its RM 100 per pax!”

Me: “What are you guys eating? Oversea Restaurant?”

Kenneth: “No! Its… uhmm… some restaurant. Not sure which one yet! We are just going to collect the money first, and then after dinner, we will go Karaoke!”

Me: “What? All 40 of you going to Karaoke?”

Kenneth: “Yeah! That would be fun! So you going?”

Me: “Nope.”

Kenneth: “Okay”

- THE END -

::: the good and the evil :::

By Adrian 0 Comments
Categories: about me

Generally speaking, I believe that I am a good person by nature, but somehow along the line, I was influence from the environment (yeah, blame everyone else for your fault) and the people.

I donate money to charity cause, and help the eldery to cross the road (well, I don’t really help, but at least I didn’t push them off the road into oncoming cars), I don’t hurt animals (dogs, but I try to hurt cats, rats, etc), and I don’t curse at anyone (well, the only time I’ll curse is when I am driving. And driving in KL is.. ermm.. another experience that I don’t want to get into. But I only curse inside the car and occasionally flashing them the international sign language, so they won’t hear me. I just can’t stand those dumbass who can’t drive properly). Oh! I am fun and loving by nature too! I used to have a lot of girlfriends and I was having a blasting time out of it. So you can imagine how fun and loving I am!

And then, I take my veggie all the time too! (Mum used to bitch about me not liking vegetables, but nowadays I am smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, so I am taking my part of vegetable k?). Did I mention that I LOVE to help my friends a lot? I love to help them to get into trouble, and at least I don’t try to screw them up too badly.

So I am a not only a good person by nature. I am a GREAT person.

Unfortunately, the people around me don’t see it that way. That’s what I mean by influences from the environment and the people. I did great things, but they just don’t see it that way. I am so totally misunderstood.

Why am I posting something like this, you ask. Well, that’s because this morning someone was talking about the good and evil nature (and the normal office gossip), and when I was telling them that I am a good person, they gave me a look, a really funny look. Oh! Did I forget to mention that they also made some kind of very weird, loud noise? I heard that they said those noise is what they called laughter.

::: the new year mood :::

Today I am totally not motivated to work at all.

Okay, I don’t mean that I have the Chinese New Year joy in me, but rather, it is the long-awaited one week holiday that I am anticipating. Even though I don’t feel the CNY joy, but I do feel the holiday mood slowly eating me up.

Basically I just sit in the office and do nothing. Called a few customers but they are not having working motivation also. Well, who can blame them? We are going ot have a one week holiday soon so of course we are all waiting for it to come anxiously and enjoy our vacation.

I am planning to go somewhere but it depends on the budget and availability. Ooops! There I go again, thinking of vacationing instead of work….

::: the bald :::

Today Maria and I sent Fluffy for grooming, and there was an accident that will change the course of our life forever…

We sent Fluffy to Pet Safari grooming centre, and because we were in a hurry to go off to do my very own grooming, Maria just told that shop owner to cut it short, and went off to SS2. Unfortunately, she did not tell that shop owner “short doesn’t mean skinny short” and at the end, by the time we went back to pick up Fluffy from his grooming session, we almost fainted…

It was ultra short! I mean, our shih tzu actually looked like Cavalier King Charles Spaniel [website]!! What is left on the body hair is about half inch long and… I didnt know Fluffy has such a long leg. I always called him shorty but I didn’t know his leg was not that short. Oh! I always call him fatty too but now we realized he’s pretty lean and muscular…

So you can imagine our amazement about this hair cut. Our eyes almost popped out and Maria was crying all the way because she felt that it was her fault to make our dear Fluffy so ugly.

Well, the hair will grow back. So it’s no big deal.

The lesson learnt is that we need to be really careful on how we express things, especially grooming. If not, you are fucked and it will take 3 months to grow back the hair.

::: quiet CNY :::

By Adrian 0 Comments
Categories: about me and life

Somehow this year, the Chinese New Year is pretty quiet and unexcited. Not like previous year, or the years before…

I still remember that when I was a kid, I used to be so happy to wait for CNY to arrive, and save all the money that I can save to buy the firecrackers. Then my parents would start decorating the house, and do the “spring cleaning” and applying new paints to the exterior wall, gate, and all that. Then my sisters would be going out for major shopping spree to anticipate the up and coming CNY.

Then, when I was a teenager, I saw that the kids were happy preparing for the long holiday, and then the parents would be busy buying new clothes for them, and buying all those CNY stock like biscuits and stuff. Oh! Let’s not forget decorating the house as well.

The shops will be playing New Year songs with such a full force that the speakers were vibrating like a major earthquake. Then there are sales everywhere, marking 70% discount, 50% discount, buy 1 free 1, buy 2 free 1, and all that kind of shit.

This year? Let me put it this way…

Next week is CNY, but the street is pretty quiet. I don’t see a lot of discounts in shopping mall. The CNY songs are not as loud as before, and the kids are nonchalant about it, like it is still months away… Me? I need constant reminder that next week is CNY or else I will forget…

Am I just being too old to feel the joy of CNY? Or am I just too used to it? Or is it because there are too many “New Year” for January until I am immune to it?

::: the wait :::

By Adrian 0 Comments
Categories: Complaints and life

Here is a good question: Why is it that women like to keep men waiting?

I am not defending that women should not let men wait or how a man is not being a gentleman for waiting for a woman. But the question is about why women like to keep those poor dude waiting like a coconut tree.

There are some girls who will just tell their man to wait outside, but will never inform them how long its gonna take, or never tell those poor dude when they will be done. What they expect is that when they come out 5 hours later, they will see those poor bastards waiting for them faithfully and still being very sweet to them.

(In case if you suspect, yeah, I met with a girl who loved to have me waiting for her at the lobby while she attended a wedding dinner, and expected me to be at the lobby when she came out… And yeah, I was waiting last night again, but not that same girl, and I was waiting there, just waiting, without doing anything constructive, so that’s why I am writing this post)

Let me declare this clear and loud:

  1. Men do not like to wait, just like women don’t like to wait. So please don’t let us wait too long.
  2. It is not your right to keep anyone waiting, regardless if the waiting parties are men or women, so don’t abuse other people.
  3. If you plan to stay for a long time, at least inform us so we can do something more constructive instead of wasting time waiting.
  4. If you are not sure how long its gonna take, let us know too so we can do our things while waiting. But when you are done, be prepared to wait for us to pick you up.
  5. Oh just in case if you got to let the poor guy wait, please ensure that there are some kind of rewards after that. At least we deserve it.
  6. If you let the poor guy wait and reward him, make sure you don’t do it too many times unless you can come up with different lucrative rewards because it can get pretty tiresome after awhile.

I do not intend to hurt anyone, so guys, if your girl suddenly mad at you or something after reading this post, I am sorry. This is just my view…

::: stupid morning jam :::

By Adrian 0 Comments
Categories: Complaints, General and traffic

Today just saw a new phone from Palm and it is really sexy. Unfortunately it doesn’t offer 3G and the sexy new technology. But it is still very sexy nonetheless…

Anyway, this morning the traffic was really frustrating. Early in the morning (at around 7:15am), the main road in front of SRJK (C) Damansara was packed with cars, and the traffic was really crazy. I mean, please take a look at the location of the school and basically anyone staying around there has no choice but to use that road to go to work. And then those damn parents are damn kiasu (translation: afraid of loosing) and love to send their children to school. Hell, sometimes those stupid parents also sent their kids to school on Sunday!!!

After much thinking, I came up with 3 solutions for the government to solve this never-ending problems to all the working class people like me…

1. Force all parents to engage with school buses to send the kids to school, and ensure that all those schools will have big enough room for the school buses to enter and drop off the kids. (For reinforcement, police will be stationed there and if found any parents dropping off their kids in private car, issue a fine)

2. Change the school time to much earlier or much later and avoid the working hour. If those parents would love to be late for work and continue to send their children, then so be it. But then, if those housewives really got nothing to do, let them jam with their own kind and don’t involve innocent citizens like me!

3. Move those schools to an ultra remote area where even if they are stucked there in jam for 10 hours, no one would give a damn kind of remote area.

Sounds like good idea to me… or I am just being an inconsiderate bastard who don’t have a kid yet. But hey, who cares!
