Sporting Heroes!!!

Cheng, sorry that i was not able to meet up with u when i was back the other week.. only 2 days and not enough time as i was quite tight up with family stuff to settle also.. seriously i shud be back more days next time.. perhaps a week, if not sure not enough time want.. haihs. makan all penang food also tak sempat... GRRR..

wanted to post a comment in your new post on the outing with Jian Ming and Selina, but i somehow dunno why i cant post it there.. apasal ar? hehe..

==========================================================

Ok, the reason me writing this post is to express out how my fave team is back in the hunt for the Barclays Premier League title.

After the champions league exit at the hand of Bayern Munich, it was so hard to swallow but life has to go on, you win some, you lose some.. you aint going to win all the time..

and then we drew at blackburn last weekend. it was an agony and i was certain enough that we are out of the title race with Chelsea winning and widening up the points.. and then this week was exceptional.. manchester derby is something you do not want to miss out.. and so, my colleague and I decided to stay back at office after our news at 8pm to watch the match..
and again, we were frustrated that it is going to be a second consecutive stalemate for United.. and with 30 seconds to go, i was muttering to my colleague 30 seconds left on the stoppage time, do u think we can produce something to win it??.. and the rest like they say is history... Paul Scholes pop-up to head in a beautiful cross by Evra.. it was that fantastic. and we were shouting and jumping mad at office. there were only 2 of us in the newsroom, the rest of ppl was upstairs as they have a live show going on with Rugby Asian 5 Nations.. but we were estatic.. we could not believe it.. we finally got that luck and we are now a point behind chelsea after surprisingly they lost to Spurs last nite.. and with 3 games to go, it's GAME ON.
and TODAY at work could not be much better scripted.. it's again, my colleague and I on shift on sunday.. and both of us are MAN U fans.. and she was getting ready Glory Glory Man United Song to be played at her desktop when those Liverpool's and Chelsea's fan walk in to office.. and we couldnt have chosen a better moment.. our big boss who is also a liverpool fan was also in office.. and we played it out LOUD.. and liverpool's fan were closing their ears and pretending that they did not hear anything at all... and the fact tat they perli us Man U fans when we lost to Bayern.. , it was a sweet revenga and definitely a payback time.. Big Boss was laughing/smiling when the song were being played.. haha.. we were satisfied... but again, we are hoping, Liverpool to do us a favour when they meet Chelsea on the 1st of May..

in short, chelsea still has the upper hand now with 1 point advantage and if they do win the League Title, i will be happy for them but Man United will be fighting all the way till d last second and not giving up. even if we did not win, i had an awesome time around with a bunch of ppl who are FUN! today certainly was a good day working!

oh, btw, we should also be proud that OUR mixed Doubles pair won at the Asian Badminton Championship in New Delhi, India.. a great TONIC and a BOOST to our BADMINTON SQUAD! they fought all the way and i am so proud of THEM! congratulations Liu Ying and Peng Soon! =)
and also to the runner up for the WOMEN DOUBLES team of Vivian and Khe Wei...

Nicol David also won in the finals of the Cayman Island Open beating 2nd seed, jenny duncalf in straight sets.

Congratulations to our national heroes and many more wins for them with the upcoming Commonwealth Games and Asian Games this year!

Cheers to our Malaysian Sporting Heroes!

the daily life

it's been a while since i last wrote in this virtual space.
i don't have the urge to write thus far, for reason that i do not know why. (alhough i have so much in my head that i want to spill out)
i am doing good here in my job or should i say my life? cause life now is on job and i am loving it. but of course family and friends are also not forgotten.

i am keeping my feet on the ground and promise myself that i will not outshown or out-do anyone and just be at my two feet doing what i am supposed to do.

i am not going to procrastinate so much and concentrate on what i got to do and do it right.

guess that's it for now and hoping for another good month ahead.

oh, before i forget, i am going back home soon. cant wait. all the hokkien mee, loh mee, mee goreng, pan mee, nasi kandar, chicken rice, char koay teow, curry mee and koay teow thing... WAIT FOR ME!!!!!

I love you so much hometown. owh.. please welcome me back! =)

Life away from home

so here you go, an update about life here thus far. It's been going to 1 month since i came and wau, time does past by fast.

first let me talk about where i am staying now. I am staying with a bunch of students and i am renting one medium room to myself. it's very spacious and other than my room, i do not really like the bathroom, the kitchen, the environment and every other thing. That is why i hate coming back home after work.. else if i could i would go out and only come to bath and sleep and the routine keep repeating itself.

so going to the bathroom, it just does not feel comfortable at all and i think the water here are not clean as everytime i will feel itchy over my body and that does not look good.. grr.. i hate that.. and the kitchen.. each and everytime i walk into the kitchen to wash my cup or anything, i just wanna get out of there asap.. it is this bad.. u tell me how can i cook or even do some minor cooking with this condition and owh..interestingly.. it;s like ants everywhere which makes me so pist off and dun wanna touch anything at all.. grrr.. tell me how could i survive.. i rather not..

so with the description above, of course u dun think i would wanna stay looong there.. so there i go searching for rooms for rent, calling and paying a visit to the houses... and finally i found a sort of perfect place to stay and i have paid my deposit.. i would wanna move from here asap.. end of this month, but after discussion with the housemates... i would stay here for another month.. until end of april.. for their sake as they are still in agreement with the hse owner (i'm not, but the person be4 me who rent the room, went out earlier.. and they are the ones who signed the agreement so guess they will have to bear the May rent inorder for them to get back their deposits).. their agreement is till end of May.. but since i think i heard them telling me they will sign new agreement in may.. i assume that the contract ending on april.. so i had talk with my new landlady and she agreed and i am moving to the new place end of arpil.. it's much more secure and there is a security guard patrolling around, walking distance to foodcourt and many shops nearby.. and the house is so so so x100 times cleaner than ever than my current one..

So yeah, i am moving house and although it much more expensive but i think it's worth la.. perhaps 1 year and then i could save $$$ to own a house myself.. haha...

and now it is time to talk about my work.. work has been good.. really good..
what have i done in the past few weeks?
- well, i reviewed Asian Games, Olympic Games, CommonwealthGames and many many more sports event tapes..
- scripwriting
-attended training on how to produce a good and simple script
-attended studio training with the anchor and presenter...

and next thurs is the launching of the channel and we will go LIVE (hopefully) on the 26th March 2010.

how's work place and all?
-the road i take to go work sometimes is either super jammed, so-so or smooth. a 7km from hse to office or vice-versa on normal traffic takes me 15mins.. else it's 30mins or even more...
-my 1st 2 weeks in office is without Air-Cond.. u could imagine how hot it was and the not yet finish renovated work place... in fact i still have not touch my own desk yet.. again it is still not ready.. using other ppl punya desk now..cause Mezzanine floor(intermediate floor between Ground floor and 1st Floor) have been done.. my office on ground floor and the studio also not really completed yet.. hopefully the contractors get it completed by next week else everything will be in haywire and everyone wil be on lots of pressure to learn everything up really fast..
-i am excited and quite scared as well but hopefully everything will be fine.
-colleagues have been really helpful, friendly and easy to talk with.. :)

Guess that basically sumarize my 1 month here now...
till then... :)

random babbling

just a quick word or two and will promise to update this space on my new transition to KL in a week time? barring any activities this weekend.

many have been asking me how's life's in KL and i dunno how to explain.. i find it hard.

But just to let everyone know.. i am loving my job but not the life as in where i am staying or wat..i am moving to a new place soon. it's better, safer and much better? haha..and i am not tat homesick anymore. Somehow i feel at peace with myself.. just need to be more enlighten.. tat's all..

and i wanted to post pictures up and change layout and all.. but my photoshop and illustrator could not be installed and i cant do any graphics or editing before posting it up here.. so that have to wait until i figure out the prob.. and i basicaly know is my OS prob.. and i would have to reformat my laptop again which i am reluctant to do right now cause it means i will have to install all the software back which is time consuming and i am lazy.. tat is the job of my bro.. so gotta wait when i am going back to PG.

for the time being, i did learnt a lot in terms of life and all.. and still braving the momentum of being away and alone in this big city.

all for now. love(s) u all.. missing Penang very much!

do what u got to do to get it right?

It is THAT terrible. i am missing my family very much especially mummy dearest.
and how come i did not feel this way at all the last few times i was away and i think this is the most difficult one as i know this is the phase of life where i am going to face ALONE.
Alone in this place where i freak out everytime i walk on the street, driving and what not.
The last few times when i was away, i wasnt feeling tat bad, because i knew that i would be going back to Penang.. but it is completely different now because i know that once i am out here.. i would not be going back to Penang and stay there permanently.

I knew if i had stayed back over in Penang, i would not have to worry on everything because everything i wanted is there but i feel i needed moments to be away from everything and to start anew and to embark on the new transition in life.. Career life.

maybe perhaps work hasnt kicked in yet and that i have more time to myself and i worried to much? what if i could not make it here? what if's and what not.. i hate that feeling very much.

I know what i have got to do to make things right but i just cannot think that being away from family is THAT difficult. guess, i will just have to go through this and let time heals everything.
I will try to make an effort to go back to Penang as often as i can.. :)

and so to stay positive and not rant to much, i am praying for a good week of work ahead!

the updates

i actually did cry when i was coming to KL on tuesday because i knew that once i stepped out from my hse i wont in anyway be back there for real.. even if i do go back.. it would be for a short holiday and all..it is just so hard when weeks be4 that, i am actually looking forward to be here in KL, but when the time comes, it was just so hard, no thanks to the CNY festivity that makes me wanna stay longer in Penang.

so now, here i am in the big city and was stuck in highway and only reached PJ after 7 hours of drive from Penang, which usually take me 4 hrs.. I unpacked and unload all my stuff and just call it a day.

on wednesday, i officially start my day at work. I was using the GPS to navigate me but somehow, it sort of fail me or i navigate it wrongly and i had to me a u-turn, detour here and there and was there just in time for the induction program to start.
the 2nd day was also induction but good news is.. it was only half day. and i was free after that..
and on friday, it was a briefing on the channel with the VP of the channel in my new office.. it was only an hour with the tour around.. and that was it. I was free the whole day.. few of us decided to have a talk together and we went to the nearby cafe.. everyone also as i am dunno what to expect from the new channel but the difference is.. all of them are with experience in this field except for me...

so yeah, basically that was it.. and would let you guys know more when the time comes.. =)

so yesterday was a good day MINUS the few minutes of drama that i had with the biatch be4 i headed for the astro fest.. i wish that u guys were here with me so all of u can go the the fest.. food was free, concert, lion dance, foot reflexology, manicure, calligraphy, games and many many more....

So, here is to hoping for a new week to come and learning more as i can...
