Mum: "Sit up straight!"

I have always doubted that. Hehehe... Maybe due to my lazy nature. Alright, straight to the point. I found this news in Google News about sitting posture.

The study at Woodend Hospital in Aberdeen involved 22 healthy volunteers who had no history of back pain or surgery. They adjusted their posture while being scanned by a movable MRI machine, assuming three sitting positions: a slouch, with the body hunched forward over a desk or video game console; an upright 90-degree sitting position; and a relaxed position where the patient reclined at 135 degrees but kept their feet on the floor.

By measuring the spinal angles and the arrangement and height of spinal discs and movement across the positions, the radiologists found that the relaxed posture best preserved the spine’s natural shape.

Now I'm sitting 135 degrees on my office chair with my feet on the ground typing this blog. I should send this link to my mum & dad to read. Kekeke... Read the news here.

Uni Friend's Wedding

Just got back from my friend, KW's wedding. We went to Sheffield Hallam together and basically, we juz click eventhough we had not met previously due to his sense of humour and friendliness.

Tonight's wedding dinner is like a reunion for all of us. We really enjoyed ourselves especially with the presence of Keong, Eric, MK and Yuky.

These are the like the fond memory of my short UK life in 2003. Most of all, our 7 days Scotland road trip.

Casino Royale

My Rating: 7/10

Not a bad film. With all the critics and anti Daniel Craig website when the producer announced that Daniel Craig will be the new James Bond, he proved them wrong.

As usual, ever beautiful bond girl (this time Eva Green as Vesper Lynd). Action packed, romance, surprise and excitement. Not to be missed.

Yup, here I come again

Hong Kong, here I come again. This is my 3rd trip to Hong Kong this year. Should also be my last trip out of the country for 2006. It's been some fulfilling year. Went to Bali for holiday on April, India in June, and 3 trip to Hong Kong in Aug, Oct and Nov.

Don't have much to write about actually. So, since I'll be busy training in Hong Kong, my blog might stay quiet for a week or so. Till then.

Not Malaysia 'Boleh', but Malaysia 'Bodoh'

That's not Malaysia "boleh", that's Malaysia "bodoh" (stupid).

This is a quote from Michael Backman, a columnist who wrote for The Age, Australia in his article; While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry.

Even an outsider can feel and see the racial issue that's growing in the country, why can't the government? Instead, they try even harder to by officially announce that anyone who try to raise the racial issue shall be punished severely.

It's always not the citizens of this country that raise the racial differences and put a gap between the races, it's the politician. There are places I go that I can see all races being able to live together like their own races and accepting each other's believes and religions. But this kind of stuff does not exist in area when one race is more densed than the rest. Why everyone need to change their thoughts towards our fellow neighbours and schoolmates when influenced by others who think too radically.

It's such a sad things to see politicians bringing matter and new law but very clearly separate the policy into different segments according to races. They are the culprit of it all that clearly set a gap in between each race so that there is always a race that are more superior than the others. Shameless...

How I wish we still have Mahathir as the Prime Minister... He's the only leader that can look beyond his own race and look at the country as a whole.

Office Environ / Annual Dinner / Best Friend's Wedding

I've moved into the new office environment about a month ago. Two Heads of Department (including my boss) has their office facing my computer screen, hence I can't really blog in the office. I know, it's been very less updates in my blog nowadays. But there's nothing I can do.

Anyhow, out of the topic. Last Saturday was the Annual Dinner. The company booked 4 halls in MIECC (Mines International Exhitibition and Convention Centre). There were tables for 3000 seatings, though the turnout was not as much as 3000. Everybody put on their best night gown and suit. Girls went to saloon few hours in advance to set their hair and etc. It was a nice night out though I hardly know 10% of the people.

Here a picture of my and my ex-teammates. Best team I've ever worked with.
Last week during a game of mahjong, my best friend told me he's going to get married at the end of January next year. I was stunned. He's the last I would expect to get married first in our hood (the so called Bro From Da Hood). Nonetheless, I am feeling excited for him. Thinking of how we have grown together from our High School years and now he's getting married already. I know what you thinking, he's not getting married because a new life is coming to this world. It's more like a family pressure and partly they think it doesn't matter whether to get married now or 3 years later.

Anyway, I'm so happy for you bro. You're a grown man now. Looking forward to your bachelor party. Muahahaha....



Fark, my streamyx connection is killing while I'm writing this blog. It keeps disconnecting and take really long to connect back. What a farking country I'm living in. Can't even maintain some certain standard once these company dominate the market. Bloody TM.

Random Updates

Last weekend went to Kuantan for my cousin sister's wedding. It was fabulous. Got the company of my sweetie and suddenly the whole happy road trip experience from childhood is back. It's so fun taking our time cruising thru the new Karak-Kuantan highway.

It was like once in a decade event that I could see my mum's huge family. Everybody is my aunt and uncle from some far far side of the world. There were some glitches during the wedding and some disatisfaction too. But overall everyone goes home with a big smile becoz they got to see their cousins (my mum's generation) once in a few decades.

Alright, that was all the beautiful and happy stuff. The unhappy side, I spent RM140 the morning before I left for Kuantan to service my car. Change this and that, but at least it work smoothly and I was satisfied. And this morning, upon reaching my pickup point to work, suddenly all my barometer in my car went dead. RPM, temperature and fuel meter all went dead.

It means tomorrow I will have to spend money fixing my car again. $$$$. Anyhow, tomorrow night will be my company's annual dinner and after that, had set appointment with a few of my working colleagues to go for a drink at Laundry Bar in The Curve. Yeah!!!

Open Season

My Rating: 6/10

If you need a break, this is the movie you should watch. Hilarious and quite a little touching. Sure can watch.
