2 more days

It seems like I am in a constant leaving and starting a new job cycle. I have been in my current job for a month and I am off again to another job. Again my productivity is close to zero again. One of the bad thing about leaving is that your care factor starts to decrease dramatically and once you have start your new job, you will have to self motivate your mind and body to prepare to work hard again. (am I making snese?)

I have been trying to write down my hand-over document for the last 2 days and let me tell you, it is a pain. I can't think about what system do what, all I am thinking about it is what I am going to do on my long weekend before I start my new job!!

I am thinking about that I am going to do when I get my new pay cheque ...YEAH!!

My new job will be in the CBD, which means plenty of eating out for lunch and plenty of shopping YEAH!!
For the last 5 years I have been eating cafeteria food or left overs, so I think it is high time for me to start eating all the food Sydney has to offer =) Yummy....

Why am I so tired?? You do really need to read this.




For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep, not
enough sunshine, too much pressure from my job, earwax build-up, poor blood or anything else I could think of. But now I found out the real reason.

I'm tired because I'm overworked.

Here's why:

The population of this country is 20 million. [Australia!]

9 million are retired.

That leaves 11 million to do the work.

There are 7 million in school, which leaves 4 million to do
the work.

Of this there are 2 million employed by the federal
government, leaving 2 million to do the work.

0.5 Million are in the armed forces preoccupied with finding
Osama bin Laden which leaves 1.5 million to do the work.

Take from the total the 1 million people who work for state
and local governments, and that leaves 500,000 people to do the
work.

At any given time there are 280,000 people in hospitals,
leaving 220,000 people to do the work.

Now, there are 219,998 people in prisons. That leaves just
two people to do the work.

You and me.

And there you are sitting on your butt, at your computer,
reading jokes.

Nice, real nice.

How I was born....

SON SAYS: Daddy, how was I born?

DAD SAYS: Ah, well, my son, one day you will need to find out anyway! Mom and Dad got together in a chat room on MSN. Dad set up a date via e-mail with your mom, and we met at a cybercafe.



We sneaked into a secluded room, and then

your mother downloaded from dad's memory stick. As soon as dad was ready for an upload, it was discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall. Since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later the blessed little

virus appeared.



And that's the story.

Diaries....

Girl’s Diary
Monday 17 November 2003

Saw John in the evening and he was acting really
strangely I went shopping in the afternoon with the girls
and I did turn up a bit late so I thought it might be that.
The bar was really crowded and loud so I suggested we
go somewhere quieter to talk. He was still very subdued and
distracted so I suggested we go somewhere nice to eat.
All through dinner he just didn't seem himself; he hardly
laughed, and didn't seem to be paying any attention to me or
to what I was saying.

I just knew that something was wrong.
He dropped me back home. I wondered if he was going to
come in; he hesitated, but followed. I asked him again if
there was something the matter but he just half shook his
head and turned the television on.
After about 10 minutes of silence, I said I was going
upstairs to bed. I put my arms around him and told him that
I loved him deeply. He just gave a sigh, and a sad sort
of smile.

He didn't follow me up, but later he did, and I was
surprised when we made love. He still seemed distant and a
bit cold, and I started to think that he was going to leave
me, and that he had found someone else.
I cried myself to sleep....


Boy’s Diary
Monday 17 November 2003

Wallabies lost to New Zealand.
Had sex though.




This is so true, it is scary. I can't remember how many times, my wife have asked me why I am so quite or whats wrong and all I'll do is shrugged and said nothing...

Fans interview

Here is an interview of some fans from a comic/anime convention: http://mediax.muchosucko.com/movies/512_FanimeCon.mov


This is the funniest interview I have ever seen. I have been to a few conventions in sydney and let me tell you it is tame compared to the yank's convention. I am hopping one day I go to one of the big convention in San diago and Chicago =)

Sick as a dog....

The whole week has been a mixture of drug induced hazed and tiredness. Since Monday week, a bloody annoying cold has been hanging around me like a bad smell. It seems that I just can't get rid of it. I have been popping cold tablets like there is no tomorrow, just to survive the day. I know I just need some rest, but it seems that I just don't have any time!!!

So after a week, my head still feels like a 16 pound bowling ball and my body ache like I have been running a marathon. So why don't I just take sick leave and go home to bed.... Well because I just resigned from my 1 month old job!!
I have given 2 weeks notice and it would be bad for the company if I now started taking sick leave...
So here I am working like a zombie and try to finish my project before I leave.

It is hard enough telling your 1 month old boss that you are leaving, but imagine telling him when you are sick and pumped full of cold tablets. Damn it was painful.
All I want is bury myself in bed for a week and rest ... but I can't!

Men strike back! ! ! ! ! ! !

How many men does it take to open a beer?
None. It should be opened when she brings it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably
never
be able to support you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows
them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?
When she starts a sentence with "A man once told me.."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do men fart more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough to
build up the required pressure.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the
front door, who do you let in first?
The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
A woman who won't do what she's told.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I married a Miss Right.
I just didn't know her first name was Always.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes
a woman's sex drive by 90%.
It's called a Wedding Cake.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do men die before their wives?
They want to.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Women will never be equal to men until they can
walk down the street with a bald head and a beer
gut, and still think they are sexy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the beginning, God created the earth and rested.
Then God created Man and rested.
Then God created Woman.
Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.

The doctors receptionist

There's nothing worse than a snotty doctor's receptionist who insists
you tell her what is wrong in a room full of other patients. I know
most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy
handled it.

An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded doctor's office. As he
approached the desk, the receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you
seeing the doctor for today?"

"There's something wrong with my dick," he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a
crowded office and say things like that."

"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said.

The receptionist replied, "You've obviously caused some embarrassment
in this room full of people. You should have said there is something
wrong with your ear or something and then discussed the problem
further with the doctor in private."

The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people things in a room full of
others, if the answer could embarrass anyone."

The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered. The
receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?"

"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated. The receptionist
nodded approvingly and smiled. Knowing he had taken her advice. "And
what is wrong with your ear, Sir?"

"I can't piss out of it," the man replied. The doctor's office erupted
in laughter.

Where am I ?

You might think that this is my URL right?...
http://jonnjonzz.blogpsot.com/
But its not. This is a URL to site called Aarons Bible ...

With just one letter difference, my URL became his URL.... weird eh...
I wonder whose URL is similar to mine??....

Get sick quickly lah....

What I hate more than being sick, is the feeling when you are nearly sick. You know the feeling. The aches, the tiredness, the sleepiness, the occasional sneeze or phelgm. I HATE it. All the symptoms are out, but you know that you are still strong enough to go to work. You hope that this feelings you have will disappear as the day goes by, but it never does. All you will feel the whole day is tiredness and the constant need to procratinate.

I know I can just pump my self with cold tablets and try to suppress the symptoms, but that only delay the inevitable. The only way to beat it, is to take time to recuperate, let the body rest. Drinks lots of fluid and sleep!!

But you don't do that do you ??!
You wake up early, shower and go to work!
You work because that is what society expect you to do.
You work till you really get F**ked up,
Then you can rest.

Our Father who art in Heaven ...

Went to my first Holy Communion celebration on the weekend. Nope it's not me, but my brother in-law. It was his 8th birthday and to celebrate the day, he is official joined to the Holy covenant.
Since I am a Buddhist, I have never been to such a celebration and it was quite an eye opener. All the little kiddies who were going to take their first sacrament were dressed with their "Sundays best", some boys were wearing a tux and all girls were wearing some kind of satin dress and a veil !!
It looked like they were going to get married !!
All the families were there with their cameras and videos.

The Mass were pretty much the same as any other Catholic Mass I have been too, with the exception that all the reading were done by the kids.

What I find curious is that, once the child takes their first sacrament, it would mean that they are a full blown Christians, even though at their age they would not even know what religion means to their life, let alone their after life.

Do they even know that billions of lives have bleed in the name of religion and it is not all about love thy neighbour....

This is what happens when don't think ...

You see last night I went back to my folks place to get some nice home cook meal. My grandma cook me some very yummy Prawns sambal, vegies and some mince pork, peas and potatos. Very yummy.

Anyway after the dinner I had some time to kill, so I went to the computer room to surf the net (yeah yeah ... I know, I am a nerd). I log on to blogger and check out the new templates. So here I was thinking, this might be a good time for me to update the site. I have 30 mins, I thought no worries ?

So off I went, switch the template and start editting the page. Adding Halo scan, link, etc... and then I realise that time flew and I had to leave asap, to pick up my wife from her night school. So as a "silly" user, I thought I could just log out without saving and the template would revert back to the original.....

But I WAS WRONG!
This afternoon when I log in, the new template was up!
My link was gone!!
My Comment page was gone!!!

So inbetween writing an urgent report and rebuilding a new computer, I Hax0r the template and entered some essentials back into the site. It is still not complete, but atleast it is presentable.....right?


Backless G String


Excerpt from News.com.au"AUSTRALIA could be on the brink of a startling underwear revolution, thanks to Gold Coast couple Jan and Chuck Digney ("just your average mum and dad") and their invention: the backless brief."


My Question would be, if it is such a problem why you would bother wearing it?
Who wants to have wear a wedgie all day long anyway, and if you ARE wearing it for fashion or to look sexy, don't you want people to know, ie showing your G-String Strap?

ugly show

Romanian police is going to ban ladies over 60 years old to sunbathe at beaches topless.
The police states that this "ugly show" distracts tourists.

"It is always pleasant to see young women sunbathing topless, provided that the women are attractive. But ironically, mainly elderly ladies sunbathe topless. This looks disgusting", says officer Ionut Polesku patrolling the beach in Constanta.

Cheers to the Romanian Police!!
I think, they should also ban:

  • Policeman who eats too many donuts and carries a beer gut.
  • Workmen's crack
  • Big arse ladies who wears spandex for the gym
  • and Hairy Chest!!






Grayson

If you are a fan of Batman -
Dead End
, then you will interested in new Fan film Grayson. This is
another Kick Arse Fan Film, which should be in the big screen. I know
the special effects and costumes are a little lame, but imagine what
the film will look like if WB invest a couple of Million into the
production!!

One day the Fan boys will demand the studios to take us seriously and
make a movie which do the comic/book character justice.

God Bless the Internet

World Trade Centre


From SMH
" YOUTH radio network Triple J has outraged the families of Australians killed in the September 11 terror attacks by using mocked up images of the World Trade Centre to promote the station.


Why is everyone so sensitive nowadays?
It is a freaking joke!
Why can't we remember the WTC as it was?
They remove it from Spiderman and now they complaint about a Photoshop picture. What is next?
Are they going to remove it from all the other movie which showed WTC in its former glory, like Deep Impact and Armageddon ?

I know 9/11 was a horrible and scary act of terror, but it doesn't mean that we have to forget the beauty of WTC. It was an awesome piece of architect and it should be remembered as such. It feels like if WTC is shown now, it is sacrilege to all the poor souls lost, but I think it is sadder if we forget what WTC really meant, a Kick Arse big Building.


The New Google replacement ?

IceRocket is just another "next Google". The upside for this Meta-search engine is that it shows a thumbnail of the each site on your search results.
IceRocket also displays the ranking each listing had in each of the search engines used. Other features include a news search, image search.

Anyway it is another source of entertainment for me, when I am procratinating =)

Celebrate Love

"Peace begins with a smile." - Mother Teresa of Calcutta

My wife and I had the most wonderful thought provoking time on the weekend. We Went to a Couples retreat called Celebrate Love. It is was advertised by the local parish and my wife suggested that it was a good idea to check it out, so we went.

I must confess that initially I was skeptical of such retreat. Heh I am a guy and like most guys we don't really want to express our inner most feelings, let alone spending the whole weekend expressing our feelings about love and relationship and family. I guess fortunately for me, my wife convinced me that if was a good idea and so we went.

The 2 days went by very quickly, the format of the retreat consist of, 2 couples who are the presenters for the weekend. The couples would present to us various topics on Marriage and relationship, they will share with us about their experience and then each of us will be ask to answer some questions relating to the topic. Once that is done, we (as a couple) are asked to find a quite place away from everyone and discuss the answers we wrote.

We talked about:

Our Family and how they still control our behaviour with each other
What faults do we think we have and how do we react to that
Sexuality as Husband and Wife
Sexuality as define by the Church and Bible
and much much more.

Although the topic is very interesting, it is nothing new. It is the fact that we as a couple decided to set aside 2 full days to investigate and help grow our relationship, which was important. Think about it, when was your last time you and your love one went away and just talk about your relationship and how you both think about your relationship. I know we go for holidays and enjoy the occasional small talk, but we would never intentionally sit down and write down out ups and downs and discuss about it. Where we can't hide behind work or TV, we can't hide behind anything, where we have to sit down and really talk.

How many times have we tell ourselves that all the problem we have only happen to us?
Well I don't know about you, but we are not unique!
As we listen to the talks and sharing, we realise that we are experiencing the same thing, we are not alone. We realise that if they are standing talking about it, there is hope for us. We are OK.

So next time you want to buy something for your partner, think of this retreat. It will be the greatest gift for you and your partner.


Make Love Not War =)

7
LOVING ONE. You need safety in your relationship.
You want to be sure in his/her arms, knowing
that he will protect you and you can be totally
devoted to your other. At this point you are
very vulnerable. You open yourself and dont
even think that he/she could cheat you. You
totally trust your partner in every single way.
SO if you find out that she/he lied to you or
played a game this trust is broken. You may try
to forgive your other but this will be very
difficult.He/She has to be friendly and
trustworthy.
PLEASE VOTE, I want to know what you think about my
quiz, I worked hard on it.
You can always message me or tell me how I can
improve that quiz. Ill sure write back.

World's Finest





This is one of the best "Fan" film I have ever seen!
Sadly it is only a "preview" movie, so for now there is no plans to create a full feature. But isn't it ironic that a "Fan" movie is better than most of the "real" movies that the studios produce. Maybe it is time the studios let one of the "Fan boys" create the movie and never ever let out another piece of crap like Batman 3 & 4.

Here is the link for the clip: http://www.capedwonder.com/Worlds_finest_Hi.mov

Sandy Collora, you kick arse and I hope one day Warner Bros will let you produce this film for real.




It's Friday!!

I am so glad that it is Friday!
in Approximately 8 hours I'll be going home and eat, rest and play!

I won't have to worry about work and I won't have to wake up early the next day. I am going to sleep in.
I am going to convince my "boss" to let me watch my Japanese Anime...(which I am sure I'll fail =P)





Life ...

"A part of me is excited
to begin this brand new life
and a part of me is crying

but I embrace the brave new future

we watch life's bridges turn
you and I have so much to learn"

Speed Wedding..

Just found out that one of our friend just got married!
The got married 2 weeks ago, without the parents knowing.. ... why you asked, cause they also annouced that they are going to be parents!!

Surprise Surprise!!

Don't they know that if it is not on, it is not on??!!
Comeon people, this is not the 18th century, we have contraceptives!!!
Jeez I know everyone experiments and in the heat of the moment you tend to lose your head (literally), but comeon for a minute of pleasure, you are both going to grow up real quick and become parents...


Contrator ....

Minimum 6 month contract, with a very lucrative pay packet!!
I have been advised that I might even get a permanent position once the contract finish.

So now I am waiting for the contract to be drafted and signed =)

Conflict of feelings

Part of me is Excited for the new opportunity
and Part of me is guilty for my current boss, especially when she walked up to me and told me that she was glad that I am here to help her with the work load.

Whereas in the back of my mind I am thinking, not much longer. I feel like telling her that I might soon leave, so you better prepare for the workload again, but of course that would be a way way silly move.

I can't lie and I hate keeping secrets..

meeting update

The meeting went well today.
I have to meet with 3 executive, which was quite unnerving. But atleast they were not hard core. I have pretty much been told in the meeting that I have the position, if I want it, but I should get the documentation by the end of the week.

The projects I'll be invloved will be similar to what I had done, but in a much larger scale!!
In my old and current company, our team was less than 5 people, they have over 100, in 3 different states!!
Damn the potential is limitless...

The funniest thing about the meeting was that after we completed the meeting, one of the exes asked me, so what are you going to do now? Are you going to "Sneak" back to work now?

I couldn't help but laugh =)

New Batman Mobile on the move

B and the VERY BIG O

What is the deal with people with Body Odour??!!
Don't they realise that they smell like soiled gym socks?
How hard is it to get to Anti-perspirant or Deodorant and put it on everyday. It is like brushing your teeth or washing your hands after using the toilet. I know it is winter and you think that you don't sweat, but YOU DO!!
Especially when you wear a couple of layer of clothings and you have been walking around. YOU will SWEAT!!
Comeon just a little bit of common courtesy please. It is not hard. If you want I get your some deodorant, just please use it.

And you know what is worst than standard BO?
Standard BO with Smoke and alcohol mixed with it !! Definately a potential chemical weapon!!

So now my question is, how do you tell your work mate that they smell....

Ripped from bbspot.com

To My Dearest Popo,

Oh how time has pass, in a few weeks you will turn 80. Wow that is an amazing age!
I am so glad that you are still here with us, strong and healthy.
I know I have not been seeing you as much as I have, since I left home and got married, but please know that you are always on my mind.

You have taken care of me from the day I was born. You are my second mum.
You are the one who always took care of me when I was scared.
You are the one who always took care of me when I was sick.
You are the one who rub Vicks on my chest and back when I have a cold.
You are the one who made me ginseng tea when I was studying late
You are the one who cook, clean and care for me.

I know I have not always been a good grandson.
Sometimes I ignore you (when you nag me to clean up my room)
Sometimes I forget to call you and see how you are.

I know I have no excuse for my laziness, but trying to adjust to a new life as a husband and living away from you is a very hard thing.
I miss your delicious cooking,
I miss your stories and jokes,
I even miss your nagging.

I know you will never read this (since you can't read English) and I'll be too embarrass to tell you face to face.
But please know you will be always be close to my heart.

You have taken care of me for close to 30 years, and I hope you will let me and my family take care of you for another 30 years.

Love,

Your Grandson.
