Bloody painful day

Had a game of soccer again today....
man it is bloody hot out there on the field. I can literally feel my fat boiling off from the inside =P (which is a good thing..heh heh)

So here I am, my unco-ordinated self on the field, trying to be useful for the team. I am a mediocre defender, but I am total crap as a striker.... my only attempt to be a striker today, provided me with a sore hand, due to the fact that my hand was "lucky" enough to be inbetween the ground and someone stud shoes!! OUCH!!

To add to the injury, my right foot was also given the same treatment....

Fortunately for me, due to my mutant healing factor I survived the ordeal with only injured pride and a very stiff hand =P

Hope the weekend is better....

Exploding Whale

This is what happens when you move a dead whale .....KABoom......

Can he be the next star war kid?

I am sure, if you have been on the net for the last 6 months, you would have heard of the Star War Kid. Well here is another spoof of another unlucky kid. Please welcome the Movie Kid. It not as action packed as the previous, but no less imaginative.

One more day of work...

Don't know if I conside this a good week, but atleast is it going to be a short week. Oz celebrate it's Australia day on the 26th of Jan. This means that we had a nice long weekend. I don't think that most aussies would even know why we celebrate Aussie day, they are happy just because it is a public holiday.

Aussie day is the celebration of the landing of the first fleet. The day where the freedom of the aborigines were ignore and discarded like waste. A day when western disease was brought on to the untouched land....
What a great Australia day.

Anyway what else happen during the week??
Had dinner at my folks place on tuesday and met a high school friend for dinner yesterday. During the dinner I was reminded that I have been out of highschool for 10 years! Holey Cow!
Man I feel so old. Years have flown by so quickly.

What can I say about my last 10 years?
Uni
Work
Wife
And more work

What can I see in for my next 10 years?

Work
And more work =)

Woo Hoo.....

Funny for the Geeks =)

I know, I know, I rip this off from Joy Of Tech but I just wanted to let everyone enjoy this joke!



The funniest thing is that the Macintosh that Bill is holding is called the MacintoshPlus, and I had the opportunity to play with it just last week. You don't know how far we have come, until you use a Macintosh in which all software is ran off a Floppy!!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR (for tomorrow)

The Year of the Monkey!
Those born in the Year of the Monkey are thought to be fun loving persons, always cheerful and energetic. Inquisitive, they constantly seek new opportunities and their intellect allows them to adapt to any situation. Their mischievous spirit is entertaining. 'Monkeys' tend to forgive but never forget. They will succeed in any profession; however, their innate desire to be noticed makes many “Monkeys” choose show business.

So Happy New Year, fellow blogger!
Minishorts it is your year this year, so Shine Baby and makes us green with envy =)
Sixthseal has a new job in "East Malaysia", so Good luck buddy and keep on giving us your awesome take on life
Wena you have a new Kitchen Stove!! My mouth is already watering just imagining what your will entice us this new year!
Aunty Caleb, or should I call you KKK? So Aunty Caleb, I think one of the blogger is a psycho path, what should I do???..... =P

So what are my plans in the land down under?
Nothing as exciting as shopping for red CNY underpants or go to a CNY banquet. I am meeting up with my folks tomorrow night (after work) for dinner at the local Malaysian Restaurant. I am told that if I "pour Tea" for my parents, I am likely to still get "Ang Pau" so guess what else am I doing tomorrow =)

Of course in Oz, the government do not recognise the CNY. So no long weekend for me =P
In actual fact, I'll have to be at work tomorrow by 6 am! AWESOME =P

So Anyway I hope everyone have a great New Year and May all your new year prosper and your life Joyous =)

Cheers
PICOLO

Another life =)

Just got a few emails today to inform me that one of my Uni friend has just gave birth!!
They were married for over 4 years before they wanted a child and so now they are blessed with a baby girl =)

I know this is a joyous occasion, but all I can think is that I am getting old. My Uni friends are having babies! this means that soon I would be a dad too. This means I will have to become a responsible man, like my dad.

Am I ready for this?
Can you ever be ready for this?

daddy?....me??

A question for everyone

Read this question, come up with an answer, and then email your answer to me. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads.


A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a man whom she did not know. She thought this man was amazing, the man of her dreams, so much so that she fell in love with him right there but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.


Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?
FYI for those that haven't answered there is now right or wrong answer, atleast try and give an answer

Wet T-shirt competition =P



Today the weather was trying to stop our weekly Friday Soccer, with her constant rain and grey sky. I am happy to say she failed =)

Even with her cold rain, we ran on to the field like fanatics and played some hard core soccer on this cold and wet day. We were slipping on the mud, we were blinded by the blinding rain, we were soaked to the bone with iced cold rain, but yet we played on.

Blood, sweat and mud mingle during this bout, we over came the cold and pain and we are sure we will overcome our opposition. They had the advantage, they had the extra man, they had the skills but they could not defeat our will. Our body maybe weak but our mind is strong!!

3 to 1 was our score!

3 to 1, We WON!

VICTORY!!

Weekend highlights

We had a couple of family friends from the states that came over during the week and since they were fans of RnB (or Hip-Hop), we decided to take them to one of the city new RnB nite club Hunny. Man that was an eye opener. I have not been to a nightclub for over a year and man I felt so out of place.

I was never a fan of nite clubs and I am sure I am one of the world worst dancer, so it was a good idea that I did not visit such premises often. As always we had to wait in line for 20 mins to get into the club and be greeted by a couple of oversize gorillas. If you want to know what happens to people with steroid overdose, then do a speak to a couple of bouncers at a nite club. Anyway we climbed a couple flight of stairs and we are welcomed by a skimpy clothed girl which charged us 20 bucks per person to enter the club. Your senses is now pretty much overloaded by now. The music is so loud that you can't even hear if someone talks into your ear, the bass is so powerful that your whole body vibrates, your nose and lungs is filled with secondary smoke from all the chain smoker standing at the entrance to have a "fag" and you eyes are greeted with more gratuitous flesh than a butcher store. Welcome to hunny =)

So if you are looking for Sydney Nite meat market, you will know where to go. In the first 5 mins of entering the club, I know I don't belong here. Maybe I am too old, maybe I am just way too old... But I felt like so out of place. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching skimpy clothed girls gyrating their arse, as the next warm blooded male, but I am not a fan of nite clubs.

Anyway we were there for over 3 hours, trying to dance (as much dancing as you can do when you are packed like a can of sardines). The friends were enjoying themselves since it was a feast for the eyes =P
After the that we had some coffee at the local Gloria Jeans and then I drove them home. It was 5 am the next morning before my head hit my pillow.

Saturday was a daze. I slept in. Woke up and cooked some brunch and put on Bad Boys 2 (DVD-rip). The movie was not bad. Plenty of actions with no reason. Explosions galore and "Lethal weapons" plotlines. Clean up the apartment and just vegged out =)

Sunday was hot! I worked in an non a/c shop and I swear I lost a few pounds from the heat =P

Friday night wisdom

He who knows others is learned. He who knows himself is wise
--Lao-Tzu

Lost and found

Would you believe it, that people actually read this??!!
And what are the chances that this person who read my blog actually knows me!!(I guess my anonymity may soon disappear.)

Yep that is right, I had a long lost friend emailing me after he read my blog and deduced who I am.. Wow that is amazing eh... The last I saw him was in KL, 10 years ago. He emailed me and ask me if I am XXXX XXX, and I say yep that’s me. Holy crap! What are the chances??!

Anyway I am waiting for his reply and find out where he has been for the last 10 years and hopefully we can catch up soon.

So who says that the NET is useless.... Thank you INTERNET... Thank you!

Fallen by Sarah Mclachlan

Sarah Mclachlan has finally release a new album "AfterGlow". The first single from this album is the hauntingly beautiful song Fallen. If you have a chance to get to listen to this single, please do. It is amazing. I got the movie clip for it on her site and I have been playing it all day at work. Unfortunately I have not been able to find the album in my local CD shop =( So I might have to get it online.

I was first introduced to Sarah's unique music on the Movie "City of Angels", when her single Angle was played during the movie. Immediately after I saw the movie, I went to the closest CD shop and brought her album. Since then I have not looked back. It is weird to say it, but she makes the best break-up songs. Songs which seems to know the pain you are feeling, during those cold lonely nights.

She is definitely in my Top 5 Favourite Music Artist!



...We all begin out with good intent
When love is raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear

Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so ...

Cold Mountain

Saw Cold Mountain last night with some friends. Although it was a long movie, the time went by very quickly. Nicole Kidman, as always a beauty on screen...hubba hubba!!
I must say though that she is getting thinner and thinner. If you have seen her in Billy Bathgate you will know what I mean.

Anyway the movie had another hottie in it... Natalie Portman!!
Yeah baby she had a small scene in the movie but she was amazing in it. Double Hubba Hubba.

This movie is definitely a date movie. There are some really sad scenes and there are some sexy scenes, so I am sure both sexes will appreciate it. Definitely not recommended for the lonely...cause you will feel more down when you come out of the cinema.

Word of wisdom?

Live in the past and you shall dwell in regrets.

Absence Of Fear

By: Jewel

Just heard this song again, after a long silence...... man it makes me think of my past...

Inside my skin
There is this space...
It twists and turns
It bleeds and aches

Inside my heart
There's an empty room.
It's waiting for lightning;
It's waiting for you

I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here
Inside the absence of fear

Muscles and sinew
Velvet and stone...
This vessel is haunted
It creaks and moans

My bones call to you
In a separate skin.
I make myself translucent
To let you in, boy...

I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here
Inside the absence of fear

There is the splendor of this
Secret inside of me
And it knows that you're no stranger,
You're my gravity

My hands will adore you
Through all darkness, and they will
Lay you out in moonlight
And vent(?) your name

For I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here...
I need you near...
Inside the absence of fear.

Dream Present!!

I finally found my dream present!
If you can get me this, I'll be your best friend forever!!

Star Wars AT-ST walker 1:2 size replica. This model was built in 12 months by a master model. This bad boy is 4 meters in size and it is built out of a steel skeleton....

The starting bid is US$19000.00 and you have less than 3 days to bid for this dream toy!

Etiquette

Question: What do you think about talking in the bathroom?
Case in point, you walk into the bathroom and you met one of your colleague and he starts talking to you, what do you do? Do you stimulate the conversation or just say hi and minimise eye contact?

For me, I don't like to talk in the bathroom, especially when I am at the urinal... Man when I am with my boys, I don't need you to interrupt us !! =P

Comments?

back to work

Today I experienced the worst Monday-itis in my short working life. Only after a week off work, my care factor for work was less than zero. Thank god most people were experiencing the same problem as I. Most of us, spend most of our time reading the accumulated emails in our inbox and catching up with colleague and gossips.

We all had sun burnt marks on our faces and gain a few pounds from the junk food we ate during Chrissy and New Year. Hmmmm..... Chocolate!!

As for me I spend most of my time catching up on my regular blog readings =)

Welcome back Wena. I hope you had a great time in the states. My mouth was watering when I saw the fried Turkey =)...Yummy!
And the black dress, you wore on the wedding, makes you look stunning =)

The ever changing Minishorts. Love the new layout, can you make a new layout for me?

Sixthseal, The Melbourne Scene looks great, I can't wait to visit it myself. Hope you feel better soon buddy.

Caleb, man I wish I had your smarts to invest at a younger age =)

And many more blogs. More and more blogs are getting included into my regular reading and it is really slowing down my productivity =P
...Who cares =P

Happy New Year digital friends !!
And hope to see you all in the coming year in the same blog channel and same blog time!

Happy New Year Everyone

Finally the year is over and new one has just begun. So what did I do to celebrate the coming of the New Year?

Well nothing much really. As always Sydney will go out gun blazing and have a huge fireworks at the Harbour =) It was not bad, I saw the fireworks at a friends place which was near the harbour. The fireworks were not bad, but nothing could beat the fireworks at the year 2000. We also had some light shows on the surrounding building in the city.

We had a nice little feast with some close family friends, had some champagne jelly and celebrate the night away.

So now here I am in a New Year, part of me is excited to begin this brand New Year and part of me is frightened of the all the obstacles before me. I am sure I am going to fall at some point and I am sure I am going to lose faith in the darkness, but what experience has shown me is that my friends and family will always be there to help me, and for that I thank God for it.

So what is ahead of me in the near future?
