We start working just when we arrived at around 12.30pm.

At 5pm everybody starts going home to buka puasa, since we only had our brunch on the flight, we tot we can get some dinner from the cafeteria. Oh gosh...dun think about food, we dun even get a cup of coffee...the cafeteria was shut down due to hygiene issues. well...no choice than diet plan to take place.

We continue working and hopefully can finish it fast fast then go for dinner. But no matter how and wat we did....the data is still not tally arghhhhh....we have no idea of wat went wrong as there is no error log or errorprompt....then just trial and error keep on debug and debug and re-check and re-check and re-run and re-run to get it right....I was so STRESS tat time and almost got crazy...

Guess its my brain got stuck for no "food input" after long hours, better go toilet and wash my face and hope i'll get refresh abit....uhh walking out of the office ....the surrounding was so dark ....so quiet....no lights (jimat electricity) ....nobody....no security....and the toilet was at second floor only....there were echo of my footstep while walking to the toilet...errr so scary..the whole building left only me and boss ....dare not to waste a single second...i run to the toilet and run back to the office...reli scary oh ...

Continue Work ...work...work...and work....finally all the data is tally...hooray!!! And that night we work in the server room until 1am.... and there goes my night without the support of my favourite -- Kopi O.......zzzZZZZZzzzzzzz.....

After had KFC for me dinner/supper and a quick shower...finally i can sleep. It was abt 2++am d. On next day morning 8am since we know that we cant get any food nor drink within our working place, we shall had our breakfast, lunch and tea in one shot. 2 person 4 dish with my favourite Kopi O to boost the day....good enough!

OMG...enough to wash my hair...not enough to wash my body ... and then there got no toothpaste....i din bring my toothpaste instead only toothbrush....at the end for the 2 days i brush my teeth with water only....besides these...i dun have any extra clothes to change as i was expected to spend only 2 days 1 night here ...wat to do then just after mandi have to pakai the same clothes again haha...see...SMELLY or not? hehe

While finding parking to the market we saw these funny scene.....

Special "mango" smells so strong of mango but its not a mango
very heavy and "hard" ...with the thick thick skin like the coconut

i was thinking to bring this back..but Ramzi advise me better dun do so. He had tried a few times thinking to bring this fruit to his friends at Peninsular too. But it was rejected to be hand carry and even check-in cargo. i think its becoz of the strong smells like the durian did.

After visit the market...we were back to the hotel and getting ready to check out and transfer to the airport.

Me:" har??!!!! then wat is that???"
Boss: "now is "july" on chinese calendar..so u guess wat is it"

oh gosh...luckily there is nothing happen to me while im sleeping alone in the room for 2 nights and yet we had already checked out....SCARY~!!!

"The Hotel"

my room


About this trip at summary, it was never an easy one. Anyhow its a new experience although its not my first time to visit east malaysia. Its nice and interesting either at Bintulu the place, the market or the "haunted" hotel. I just felt a little bit disappointed in this trip where i was working at one of the Malaysia most leading port i dun even have the chance to walk out from the office and enjoy the magnificent sight. Hope there will be another chance to do so but not the tough job there again.

情人节

今天是七夕情人节,相信很多人都不记得甚至是不知道。

相传七夕是牛郎与织女一年一度相见的日子。传说的原由是这样的。。。。。。。

織女住在天河的東邊,她是天帝最小的女兒,因爲很會織布,所以大家都叫她織女

織女每天辛勤忙碌地織著布。早晨,她織出霞光萬丈的朝陽;中午,她織出萬里無雲的晴空;黃昏,她織出彩霞滿天的夕陽;晚上,她又忙著在黑錦上綴滿亮晶晶的星星。

她每天工作的很辛苦,可是卻十分孤單,因此總是悶悶不樂。在天河的西邊有一個放牛的牛郎,他的工作是飼養天上的牛只。他要牛群吃草,替牛群洗澡,每天的工作非常多。可是牛郎是一個勤勞踏實的年輕人,他每天辛勤地工作,將天上的牛只養得又壯又好,天帝很欣賞他。

有一天,天帝召集了牛郎和織女來。

織女,我看你每天工作很辛苦,但是總是不快樂。你的年紀也不小了,我想把你許配給牛郎,不知道你願不願意?天帝問織女。

織女知道牛郎是一個誠實,負責的年輕人,於是就說:一切但憑爹作主。說完,她就嬌羞地把頭低了下去。天帝看了非常高興,就對牛郎說:

牛郎,我最寵愛這個小女兒,她可以說是多才多藝。我看你也是個有爲的青年,現在我將女兒許配給你,不知道你願不願意?

牛郎看了看織女,覺得她是一個溫柔可愛的女孩,於是就欣然答應了。

從此,牛郎和織女就過著非常恩愛的生活。他們常常手拉著手,在天上遨遊,欣賞風景。織女對於一切都感到那麽新鮮、有趣,因爲以前她從不曾出門遊玩,每天忙碌的工作,根本不可能讓她有休息的機會。

牛郎也一樣,以前因爲要放牛,所以每次也只能到草原上,現在有織女相伴,一起到處遊玩,真是快樂無比。

可是,他們都忘了彼此的工作。織女忘了織布,結果天空一片空白,再也沒有美麗的天色;而牛郎忘了看牛,結果天牛到處亂跑,將天庭弄得一蹋糊塗。天帝生氣地對他們說:你們兩個太令我失望了,整天只知道玩樂,卻疏忽了自己的工作,我決定好好處罰你們。從今天開始,你們各自回到自己的工作崗位上,每年的七月七日才能見一次面,除了這天外,都不准相見。若是你們違犯命令就將你們處死。

從此以後,牛郎和織女只好一邊忍著相思之苦,一邊工作,只盼望七月七日來臨。

喜鵲因爲非常同情牛郎織女的遭遇,就在每年的七月七日爲他們搭起一座橋,讓他們能相逢於鵲橋上,互訴相思之苦。

看完故事后,来首love songs点缀下。第一次那么喜欢Rihanna的声音。。。还超爱这支MV里的主角,有性感尤物Megan Fox和壮男Dominic Monaghan. 不懂他是谁?他就是美国连续剧"LOST"的演员之一。光头look很猛下~! 



Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
High off her love, drunk from my hate, it's like I'm huffin' paint
And I love it the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me, she f**kin' hates me
And I love it, "wait, where you goin'?"
"I'm leavin' you," "no you ain't come back"
We're runnin' right back, here we go again
So insane, cause when it's goin' good it's goin' great
I'm superman with the wind in his back, she's Lois Lane
But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed I snap
Whose that dude? I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe
When you with em you meet and neither one of you even know what hit em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills used to get em
Now you're getting f**kin' sick of lookin' at em
You swore you'd never hit em, never do nothin' to hurt em
Now you're in each other's face spewin' venom in your words when you spit em
You push pull each other's hair
Scratch claw hit em throw em down pin em
So lost in the moments when you're in em
It's the face that's the culprit, controls you both
So they say it's best to go your seperate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
Cause today that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playin' over
But you promised her next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no nintendo game, but you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now I know we said things, did things, that we didn't mean
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is, you're the same as me
When it comes to love you're just as blinded
Baby please come back, it wasn't you, baby it was me
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Come inside, pick up the bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Next time there won't be no next time
I apologize even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games I just want her back
I know I'm a liar if she ever tries to f**kin' leave again
I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
