Be Right Back

Currently clueless...don't ask me why but I'll be back. Otherwise follow me on Twitter

Procrastinated Update

2011-06-22T20:22:00.002+08:00

Yep, procrastinated long on it. Sorry all but kinda lost some words in putting on paper. Nothing much to do really since handed over my work over. Now waiting for boss to tell me to piss off. Gladly and the sooner the better ;).

Gave back the wretched BB so as of 9:00AM, 21/06/2011, I am free of the Blackberry scourge....weeeeehooooooooo. Now to comvert that number from Maxis to Digi and I'm set.

Installed Seesmic on my G1 and sure is much lighter on my poor phone compared to running FB and Tweeter on Android so been busy stalking and spamming left right and centre.

That's all I can say for now. Quite blur actually but I'll post something if I can find something interesting.

Ciao bello

It's friday night

2011-06-17T22:22:00.001+08:00

It's friday night already somehow feels somethings missing. Don't know what it is actually. Am alone at Darussalam Subang Jaya needing sometime alone. She's at home.

Don't know why but somehow I feel a distance. A distance from everything and everyone. Maybe it's me or it's with how the world works. Guess thats age catching up with me I suppose.

But I just wished I knew the answers because it's making me very irate. Hope tomorrows Super GT qualifiers can cheer me up.

D-day (not really)

2011-06-16T22:49:00.001+08:00

Was a really dull day until I hooked up my phone to the laptop to surf Mudah and ahmoi.com so you can guess.

Bonus letter was issued today. Didn't get much but hey next month gonna GTFO so am not complaining really. The Dragon as usual was sulking with me, didn't really look at me. Just mumbled "this is your increment, you bonus, sign.....don't tell anyone"...owh well, don't care

Got home early so had a nice rest and now having supper with Amed before sending him off to Pekeliling bus station.

Lupa nak updet

2011-06-14T11:01:00.001+08:00

Yeah, that's right. Forgot to update cos was mentally pre-occupied not with work but other matters. Firstly was trolling this nu-mamak cum himbo who's always posting anti establishment politico stuff. He's a classic case of whino loser who bitches but does nothing. But then again, judging by his profession, not surprised.

Then Safwan's house got broken into so amongst us in the neighbourhood panicked. Darling and I rushed out to One Utama to get ourselves 2 new sturdier padlocks for our house. Same time texted my landlord to see if he can install for us deadlocks for added security. Hope he agrees.

Cue'ed in some movies to watch for the week. Lists are Seven Years in Tibet, The Adjustment Bureau and I Spit On Your Grave. Well the last one was because it's been awhile since I watched grindhouse exploitation movies so sue me.

It's now Tuesday, 14th of June 2011. 4 days more to go for Super GT and another 41 days to my last day of service. Better hope I can last out the days.

Wish me luck.

Cheers

Hmmmmm

2011-06-12T05:33:00.002+08:00

It's Sunday, 5:33AM and I'm still awake. Yup, it's my way of making the most out of the weekend. So had a go through with Amed's car. The Power window managed to "fix" the inconsistent winding part so felt good about it. But the stereo's was another matter altogether. After struggling 'bout an hour with it, managed to get it out and test the connections. Prognosis was bad but not as what you may think.

1. Front speaker's shot, refuses to squeak one bit.
2. Rear right's cone delaminated from the rubber expansion, attempted to fix by using contact adhesive and see how it performs tomorrow (or rather later today) when it dries
3. Rear left's ok but needed to fix the contacts
4. Haven't had a look at the amp but maybe needs abit of tidying up but I'll tackle that once Amed gets a new set of speakers.

So there you are, a short but precise prognosis.

But the thing is, anyone reads this blog?

Owh well.

Cheers and listen to this with the bass maxed

Kelam-kabut

2011-06-11T23:33:00.001+08:00

Woke up early today (8.30am to be precise. Huh?) Laze around in front of the tele until 10'ish then headed out to get Amed's trunk strut mount welded. On the way, phone suddenly went dead as in no network. Long story short, sim card decided to go to heaven. Bollocks

Lucky managed to find Yamin's workshop so got it welded and fixed a few stuff up. Then headed back home, sedated myself and took a siesta. Later had dinner with the family and to mid valley to change the sim card.

Now at home now and the big H is sure irritating. What to next eh?

Unexpected

2011-06-10T22:24:00.003+08:00

Got up sick, took MC and sent darling down to LCCT. Was her granddad's 5th anniversary of passing away. Was pretty sedated until I had to sleep at the gas station just before the sunway LDP toll. Didn't do much except finish setting up Amed's laptop (which is a gas by the way)

Don't know what to do but sure as hell damn bored and the H might be arise.

Crap

Alamakkkkk

2011-06-09T21:59:00.002+08:00

Slow day but few problems which can be solved and handled. Raw materials stuck in Kastam and Fibre's ran out. All in all dull day

Earlier darling called. Tyre made some weird sounds. Doesn't sound good. Sped all the way down from Shah Alam to JKR HQ. Hunch was right, tyres are toast literally (Steel belt sheared clean).

Changed tyres and had McD's for dinner. Need a rest. Realised I may have flu....bugger

Better get well soon. Lotsa shit to do this weeknd

Hope it turns out ok

Take care

Should I stay or should I go?

2011-06-08T17:14:00.002+08:00

Wordpress or stick to Blogger? Hmmmmmm

Things that rile me up

2011-06-08T12:23:00.001+08:00

Today started well, had a nice night with the missus and started the day on decent footing. New AM reported in today (which should relieve me of my handing over) and morning itself was ok.

But as dastardly Murphy once said, "things that will go wrong will go wrong and at the least expected point". Bastard and touchwood mofo. Sure enough got shitted on my parade so henceforth below is a list of what riled me up

1. Politics of "not me, it's yours"
2. Hackjob chaotic planning. We follow the requested. If more required, you request in advance. Not assume that when I snap my fingers, voila, it's here
3. Rotten crawfish maw cunts who whore and #fb their tweets about lupa sembahyang subuh and batal puasa ganti. Not our problem and that's between you and Allah S.W.T.
4. Idiots who add me in FB for no apparent fucking reason. Will be rejected.
5. Morons who do not understand that I've hit 30 and no more as energetic as I used to be.

There, I've said it. Now off to meditate and not be mistaken as emo (I'm grumpy so piss off)

Laters

Things to do tonight

2011-06-07T16:35:00.001+08:00

A self note of things to do tonight

1. Bring the missus out to have kuey cap for dinner
2. Help her pump gas for her car (not feeling well you see)
3. Delete a certain fat fuck of a status whore (in fb and tweeter who will retweet continuously every second of his flaccid penile life)
4. Catch a movie on the tele (trust me, sometimes it's an occasion to do so)
5. Withdraw money before that.
6. Stalk websites for some audio component specs (yes, the itch is back for a nice pair of parcel shelf speakers)
7. Pick a fresh shirt for work
8. Update my car's audio playlist (dah 2 bulan basi dah)
9. Window shop in Mudah
10. Sleep early (yes, I tend to forget that)

Wot else eh?

NBTD

2011-06-07T14:35:00.001+08:00

Slow day today. Hope nasty surprises later this evening as it's only Tuesday. Save for a few packing materials being late, seems to be ok at the moment. Called the missus just now. Still not well and very manja at the moment :).

Hope I can piss off early then and have early dinner. Porridge anyone?

Whenever the Dragon prowls

2011-06-06T21:17:00.003+08:00

Today was one of those nonsensical ludicrous days at work. I mean really. We usually have our Weekly Procurement Workgroup Meeting on Monday mornings. Nothing new actually. The Assistant HOD SMS'ed to us that the Dragon would be sitting in. Abit out of the ordinary but still no big deal. But when I got a bbm from the Asst. HOD saying my replacement was on MC and my clerk was on EL, bugger came the first thing. So on a nice cloudy Monday morning when I could bunk in for another 30 minutes, I had to scramble and get to work by 8.30AM (I still no likey early mornings till now especially when it's a place where they REALLY berkira on time. I'll get to that in awhile)

So, in to the office 8.30AM sharp and start churning out reports for the meeting. I mean I'm prepared for that because I usually have the data on standby. Such data....

Turns out the Dragon wasn't interested in that today and said "....don't be a robot, just say are we OK or not in terms of T-month + 1...". Baskit dastardly baskit. This is the man who said around 4 months ago he WANTED actual physical stock levels report and mandates a weekly stock check. Talk about ping-pong case. And that blabbers about wooden drum delivery being JIT and stuff. Look, if you're the type who signs PO's for the drums sooo last minute when we give it to you a good 2 weeks before, issues payment after the suppliers start moaning and threatening, and you can deal with Mandarin/Hokkien speaking china man companies (which thanks to removal of super-subsidy Diesel, would prefer we receive full 20ft lorry loads and the Dragon does not speak any chinese...seriously).....then you can speak of JIT. As it is his definition not-too-little-not-too-much is so vague, I'd usually follow my hunch and bring in roughly just sufficient (which frankly speaking, 90% of the time works)

That was one. The other was about lunch hour. Look, I'm the type who's conscience is clear about working ethics so when I decide to go lunch later then normal, I'd stick to within the stipulated time limit and do inform my superiors about it. The Dragon saw me going out, gave me the evil eye and I knew what was coming. He bitched about it (even bbm'ed me asking whether my lunch hour was so and so...replied "yes.......just came back at 1.30PM...short lunch"...very boh song after that)and then, get this, mandated a staggered lunch hour for our department. Now this isn't extraordinary but the punchline was, I got the sore end of the thumb by being the only guy around the 11.30am-12.30pm slot. Talk about being an asinine person.

But at least two things were good about today. Firstly, didn't need to attend the HOD Meeting this morning (I never liked it, tended to doze off after the 3rd hour). And from what I heard, the VP was in an extremely bitchy mood. I can guess why but am not at liberty to elaborate. Secondly, this is very important, the darling's back. YAY! At least I'd be able to end the day in a happy manner.

So till my next blog post, take care all youse and remember, carpe diem and learn to appreciate what you have before it's too late and you've scrapped the bottom of the barrel.

Toodle

Post-script, I leave you with a nice wind down song for you

Dear Google

2011-06-06T20:31:00.004+08:00

yes i am referring to you and cc this to andy rubinstein. do allows us poor bloggers to post from our dinky little green robot devices as it's much more convienient then logging in from our workstations. and yes as you can see thanks to your site coding, i cannot select capital letters as well as all that normal grammatically correct english which some of us still do use. and why the hell do our apps, cue blogaway, needs a captcha. do reply soonest

Testing out blogaway

2011-06-06T02:49:00.001+08:00

Just a quick update,

Since I'm gonna be blogging often (hopefully), thought I post through an android app called Blogaway instead since it'd be more real time.

So here's hoping I'd be writing more interesting stuff frequently. And it'd be really of worthy read.

Anyway nights (or morning in actuallity as was waiting for Amed to come and collect his car keys) and yes, it's Monday......pfffffftttttt

Back again, perhaps

2011-06-06T01:56:00.002+08:00

Yup, after a long 4 year hiatus, I've decided to start posting again. Understandably no one's going to know about it but hey, at least I can start brush up on my writings.

Not too long ago I always assumed myself that I could write but thanks to self-procrastination and the necessity to focus on finishing up on my studies, nurture a decent career and a proper relationship commitment, this had to be on the back burner.

But maybe being on the back burner has it cons. Most obvious I've been less expressive and more moody. Maybe it's good I take the time to put down on "pen-and-paper" my thoughts, goals and dreams.

So for the immediate, I've got a pretty short and materialistic list of what I'm aspiring to but bear with it. And the list goes as follows:

1. Quickly bring myself up to speed with my new job

2. Sign up for a certified ISO Process Auditing course

3. Get myself an E46 wish I've been mumbling for ages

4. Upgrade this PC I'm blogging from

5. A relatively new green robotish phone

6. A tablet to do my readings elsewhere besides this desk

Kinda short eh? But hey, all things start small but at least we've got be realistic right?

Till me next blog, hopefully gonna do this on a weekly basis, I leave you all with this song

Yeah, missing someone cos she's not back yet till tomorrow

And it's 2007 yet I feel.....

2007-01-03T19:04:00.000+08:00

Im not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But Im having fun
I think Im dumb
Or maybe just happy

Think Im just happy [repeat 3x]

My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
Well float around
And hang out on clouds
Then well come down
And I have a hangover

Have a hangover [repeat 3x]

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

[repeat first verse and chorus]

I think Im dumb [repeat 12x]

YEah go take a piss asshole. Like as if I cared

Bleh, who cares right?

2006-11-16T06:28:00.000+08:00

Anyway, think it's gonna be 2 years (I'm slightly hazy over this) since I started this blastid turd of a blogspot. I mean who's gonna read anyway? So what's new? Same old life I suppose, days are nnights, nights are well, time wasters. Won't it be nice if we needed just like 2 hours of sleep a day? Be more hours to waste away and feel like an ARTARD. Shit comes and shit goes. All of it my fault. But who cares cos in the end, that stupid saying does hold true

"Laugh and the whole world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone"

Suitable for the cynically narcissistic bastard which is my birthright.

Chasing for the things I desire and not getting at all, and worse of all, chasing after a dream which if it was mentioned past a whisper would all but disappear. Bah to that. It's no wonder there's so many hopeless humans out there who just live in apathy and not go beyond their normal selves to improve the derelict state of humanity.

Want to display what's on your media player?

2005-09-24T22:18:00.000+08:00

See that image above? That's cool huh? If you want it too, here's the method to do it.

*Note: some skills in HTML needs to be brushed up

Ok, first you need to have a Last.Fm account registered so pop over to Last.Fm's site and get yourself registered

Here's the link, click on it Last.Fm

Next once you're registered, download the Audioscrobbler plugin required for your player to perform submission of your ID3V2 rags of your song. Choose according to your fav media player.

Get em' here Audioscrobbler Plugin

Install the plugin that you downloaded, and the configure it under your player's preference. I'm using Foobar 2000 so this is how it looks like on mine. Winamp's should be similiar

Screenshot of Audioscrobbler configuration page for Foobar 2000

And for your benefit, I've also uploaded how the configurer looks like in Winamp which loads on the first time run of Winamp after you've installed it

Screenshot of Audioscrobbler configuration page for Winamp

Ok, now we've done with the software, we've got to sort the HTML part.

Now for the most basic design which looks like this for example

Use the following URL and the "img src" tag it to display that image

http://www.denness.net/scrobblersig.php?username=(InsertYourAusioscrobblerUsername)&labelcolor=
FFFFFF&trackcolor=FFFFFF&backgroundcolor=000000&
backgroundtransparent=0

The FFFFFFF and 000000 thingy that you saw is the hexadecimal colour code for HTML, so if you want to customise it, refer and substitute the appropriate codes. I've linked a good site for quick referral here

Other customisation variables for that image are listed here

Variables
fontsize (default is 8 for your reference)
labelcolor (the top line of text)
trackcolor (the colour of the text)
backgroundtransparent (1 for true, 0 for false)
backgroundcolor (doesn't work unless you set backgroundtransparent to 0)
verticalpadding (default is 0)
horizontalpadding (default is 0)

OK, there will be some sites for some reason won't display those images properly. This may be because dynamic images are not allowed to be linked directly. So substitute the ? and the = for / and that should fix it.

If for like mine, use the following URL and "img src" tag the sig you've chosen

http://www.last-sig.be

There's another site that hosts kinda cool images too. Linked here

And this is how it looks like for example.

If you want to customize your sig there are different codes, not all codes work with all sigs, so you just have try it out.

To alter your sig just add the code to the end of the URL.
(note for different sigs you will have to use different separators)
here are seperators when using font size:
&fs=10
/fs/10

fs - font size
bt - backgorund transparent(1 for on, 0 for off)
h - headline (type whatever you want to change your headline)
tza - to change the time zone hour (EST =-4)
tz - timezone (to change name of time zone)
s - amount of songs listed
a - antialias
p - pdding

for these add a 6 digits color code
tc - title color
ac - artist color
bdc - border color
bg1 - background color 1
bg2 - background color 2
nc - number color
bc - border color
tic - track color
dc - date and time color
w - sig width

for these put left right or center for text placement
ha - headline
url - URL

Here are a few examples

http://www.denness.net/rpi/username/yourusernamehere/fs/8/s/5/bg1
/ffffff/bg2/f2f4e9/ac/D56116/tc/424d61/nc/444444/url/center/ha
/center/tz/GMT/tza/+8/w/370/rpi.png

yields this

and this

http://www.denness.net/rpi/username/yourusernamehere/c/95d828/dc
/95d828/bg/333333/nc/FFFFFF/bg2/444444/bg1/333333/title/FFFFFF/ac
/95d828/tz/GMT/tza/+8/w/360/rpi.png

yields this

Hope you liked my short tutorial on it and enjoy ;)

Moonlight sorrow

2005-08-14T06:24:00.000+08:00

As I sit under the moonlight, I feel of only one thing which is pain itself. A pain which indescribable unless you have had felt it before. I'd never or try not to hurt people that I care but I do get hurt bythem in the end. Why? Is it because I'm of the passive type or they just think that I'm some loser. To be spat on and be grounded into the dirty grits of your shoe soles?

Don't you care how I feel? I don't think you do at the moment or at least you seem to portray yourself to be. I don't blame you for the sequence of events and the maelstorm or rumours and allegations surrounding had conspired to create such an impasse. Surely you think of me as scum and some rowdy lout don't you? If you only knew the truth.

I am not totally the person whom you think I am so far. If you tried harder, if you did care and do have feelings for me, I'm someone who only thinks the best only for you, unbiased, trying to see things in a bright light no matter how hard it seems, and accepts one be it the good and the bad of you.

I've tried to end it all before, twice in fact. But in the end, a voice within me tells me this; "You have to fight on, no matter how horrible the images that you see for without fighting, the war has been lost". I've broken down and cried many times in private. Of the disappointments in life, of the tragedy's, of the mistakes that I have made, and of the consequences of everything of the path I have had walked before. I'd go insane if I continued. I seriously would have. But I can't, cos I don't want to cry or can't shed the tears no more. It's all out and gone. The only thing that tells me of the pain is the heart itself and the mind.

I wish for things to be better. To be back to the days when we were all giddy and smiling, and being compassionate for each other. I miss it soo very much. IF I could turn back the clock and said the things that I should have in the 1st place my muse, I would have. I really would have. But I can't in reality. All I can do is to face it and go about to make things better. IF I could, I'd be on my knees asking for another chance to start all over and rekindle that feeling that you had for me once. I'm sad and disstressed, and you know it for I can never hide that from you

You had a bad day

2005-08-14T06:17:00.000+08:00

This is a song you ought to listen if you feel down..it touches the heart. It's by Daniel Powter

"Bad Day" - Daniel Powter

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

We'd take 10 steps back in order to hope that we move one step further

2005-08-08T03:01:00.000+08:00

Things seems so ironic in a way for me. A weeks whirlwind romance and now we take the brave step of moving forward by moving backwards first. Maybe it'd be the catalyst of something even more meaningful. I do hope so. Yeah, I'm single again officially. It's not a great thing but when you do want to make it work, you'd have to sacrifice and be optimistic about it.

Why? Cos the thing is, we're only human, we have both the rational and the emotions that makes us vibrant and different. We're human not because of thought or that we walk on two feet. It's because we can use that to evolve and be a better person. I was depressed 2 hours ago but now, I'm feeling vibrant. And hopeful. I'm mad, I just know that. But I will never be easily seduced by the allure of peer pressure. Walked down that path and came to a point where there was other way but to turn back and start from the pitchfork of life. A laborious jorney, but at least the scenery'd better once you take the other path. Sure it's rocky, gloomy, and fraught woth pit falls at times, but sure as heck better cos the scenery itself. Beauty of life in it's natural unpolished and unadorned self is one heck of a sight to see.

May that life be kind to me so that I cn give back more to it as I think I owe a lot to it in the first place. Otherwise, where'd I'd be in the end after all?

And it feels like as if it's slipping thru like sand on your palm

2005-08-08T01:06:00.000+08:00

As I walk on through this wicked world,
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity,
I ask myself, Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain, and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?

And as I walked on through troubled times,
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes,
So where are the strong?,
And who are the trusted?,
And where is the harmony?,
Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?

So where are the strong?,
And who are the trusted?,
And where is the harmony?,
Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
