Just a Thought for the End of Year Recap
Xmas Day today :) I love Xmas because tv banyak cite omputih. The opposite reason though why i hate Diwali or CNY although given 1 or 2 days off still has an upside..Keke. So in mode cuti ni, just a thought maybe i should write all the highlights that has happened to me over the year.
BreakUp, breakaway, break fasting and tukar brek rosak? ahaks
Basically any ups and downs that has shaped this year into what could be among the best in my lifetime :)
Tapi sebelom aku publish wajarlah aku mengarang dulu, kumpul info and sesi ingat semula. I'll get back with lotsa story. Coming soon to your nearest screen. Cheh ;P
Nak wat camne. Holiday pon have to stay in coz bajet yang sengkek memaksa keadaan. Salary oso not yet been deposited so better blog @ home. Huhuh.
Current mood : Transform jadi mamat bangla mau cuci keta..Sesi ramas mesra bersama si Panther..CARWASH!!!!!!

I Declare a War with the Worst Version of Myself Begins...
Another day of boredom, another ‘got time’ for new entry :P
Actually at the office I’m having task deficiency. Heheh. Not happen so often though. Only end of the year. Yelah. At this time of the year, most people in the west would take long time off hence the lack of work. There also a deployment freeze happening at the bank now. So the thing that is ongoing now only for test purposes. Also I’m doing the reaching out program for migration which I think doesn’t suit me. It’s like being a salesman for a new software and you have to push people to buy and use. Me with the lack of PR skill clearly has the problem in this area. Still working on it la. I was much worse at first. But usually I stuck when they brought the issue of procedural which I don’t know about. The issue like budget, lack of resource has become the familiar constraint when dealing with the ‘user’. At the same time you’re yourself have your own schedule to follow. So I still having problem with this. On the technical expect, I’m getting better. Every now and then, I have started contribute giving the 3rd level support although I have to admit, sometime I am not confident enough which I thought was the true solution.
This happened today. I looked at the problem I ruled out some cause and I suspect this was the actual problem but I was not certain enough it’s the real cause. Therefore, I kept it to myself. Came a much experienced technical support, he gave the same solution which I thought about but not brave enough to suggest. This clearly could create a problem in the future. Also I am working on this by studying and learning. I think the root of the problem still, lack of confidence in myself. Hmmm. I tell you if my office is a kitchen, I would boss people around because well, I know I can cook( even though x sedap pon coz I have this amazing confidence when I cook). But when it comes to my real job,mehh…..Well, cook only a job for me to fall into if my career in IT not working out. Still ambitious to become a IT Project Manager someday although getting there really slowly and probably have no potential at all. Wonder if any good career workshop out there. Mmmhmm.
Current mood: Relax mode. Addicted to Cari forum as well. How to get rid of this addiction?

Listening to Now : Volume December 2010
1) Marry You - Bruno Mars
Top favorite currently. The song about being spontaneous with a hint of ultimatum in a relationship. And why i get the feeling this gonna be the top favorite song at weddings? I also think this song was covered in Glee because i found a Glee version. Jeez, they cover and ruined every damn songs :(
2) Fly - Nicki Minaj Feat Rihanna
Apparently Nicki Minaj is very popular in the US now. She's being featured in almost every rap songs. But aku je tertinggal keretapi, dunno who is this girl. Tried listening to her album, not bad. She raps, sings, showoff her assets. Probably the new Lady Gaga.If you look at her sweet face, you'd never knew she can rap. This collabo wit Rihanna probably among my top favorite in the album.
3) Grenade - Bruno Mars
Best siyot lagu ni. Lagu about heartbreak. Pasal pompuan heartless broke up this poor guy's heart. Kalo any bros out nak layan blues after broken up, this song is highly recommended but only if you are the one who got dumped la. huhu. Not that i can relate though. Mmmmm. :P
4) Hello World - Lady Antebellum
This song is not about programing 101 ok. Hehe. Ingat gik time blaja dulu nak command output mesti try dengan 'Hello World'. A great follow up from Need You Now by Lady Antebellum. They maybe my favorite band now. Probably the only song from a prospective of hopelessness searching for true meaning of life. My 'hopeful instict' meremang dengar lagu ni. Heehe.
5) Forget You (F*ck You) - Cee Lo Green
For those who may not know, Cee Lo was once half the member of Gnarls Barkley which brought us the one-it-wonder Crazy. Now he comes back wit this song wit a killer video just as Crazy. So far, never get bored watching the video. The song is also cool. About boy-like-girl,girl-dont -like-the-boy situation. Especially in the middle of the song where he cries WHY????haha

Downside of Bali:
1. Terpaksa cancel Ubud, volcano and dolphin tour T-T
2. Restoran a bit mahal
3. Vacation too short..Would've been a week still don't have time to cover all BAli.
4. Barong Dance? More like Boring Dance :(
5. Sampai kat Tanah Lot baru perasan kat sini lagi sonok and murah for soping.
6. Some Indian families made a raucous in the airport/plane. Kacau holiday mode aku.
7. Traffic jam, too many motorbikes and too damn hot.
8. Tanjung Benoa Beach. Unless you want to play water sports, don't go.
9. Kamera oh kamera. Batery dah kong. Banyak gambar x dapat ambek. Huhu.
10. Miss my girlfriend over there :(
Also, standed pas gi holiday mesti aku tanned. Balik Malaysia je orang kata aku makin gelap. Check out my after pictures. Apa leh wat. Sunblock just 30 spf while kat sana panas yarabbi.
Kat airport returning to KL.Aku dah gelap. Suka gak kalo a bit tanned ni. Heehe
Ape-ape pon i'm gonna miss Bali and definitely gonna be back. Hopefully with my loved one because the place is so damn romantic. All kind of ladies would melt lor. Even yang berhati batu tu. Wink,wink,you know who you are :P Heheh.

China?
New Zealand?
South Korea?

Bali Story .....Ver 7
Last day in Bali was pretty much nothing. Being the flight scheduled to board at 1.30, we need to be at the airport at least 2 or 3 hours earlier. But I could sense my friend macam dah xnak tinggalkan Bali. Macam nak delay g ke airport. HAhah. More on that later.
5.00 am- Hotel
The earliest time I woke up in Bali. Member tidoq g as usual. Dah solat, aku terus naik atas bawak kamera. Yes, sunrise time. I remember Pak Ali(Bali tour guide) mentioned if you want to see sunset, go to Uluwatu or Tanah Lot. But if you want to see sunrise, go to Nusa Dua. Lucky for us our hotel was in Nusa Dua so to view you just have to step out of the room. Plus, we’re located on a hill so the view was even better. Tapi kamera ni wat kacau. Time ni gak nak abeh. Ade. However I was still managed to snap a few sunrises’ pictures.
Nicest picture I took during sunrise. 3 days of practice.HEhe
8.00 – Kill time at the hotel
Time ni aku breakfast sakan kunun the last breakfast kat Bali. Resepi setiap ari sama jek. So aku makan soto. Nyum2. Memang aku buh banyak cabai hence nak tebakar mulut. Kehkeh. Suka makan pedas tapi x taan pedas. Mmmmm.
Pas abeh breakfast and lepak-lepak, we decided to swim kat the pool. Initially we swam at the rooftop infinity pool but then my friend macam bored je we went ground floor punya pool lak. BAgi aku sama je but the rooftop was much better because the view, pergkh..But to play around elok kat pool bawah ler. Just check the pictures how we had during our last minute time spent in Bali.
Sup ni terangkat pedasnya!!!
Like usual amek pastries, cheese slices and yogurt.
Dekat 5 cawan aku minum pagi ni gara-gara sup yang pedas sangat.
Rama- rama datang menyinggah over breakfast.
Scruffy little man drinking coffee making poyo pose!
I really like this picture. Macam bungy jumping ^_^
Photoshoot majalah Mempelam. Ahaks
Being I am like the manager of our trip, aku decided nak leave the hotel at exactly 12. Meaning check out at 11.30 or so . Tapi my friend ni cam xnak tinggalkan hotel secepat mungkin. Macam nak leave the room exactly at 12 while I wanted to arrange our airport pickup 15 minutes pass 12. Yes, it seems rushed and my friend questioned my decision. Giler ah. Kang kena tinggal plane ngan kaunter airasia yang tutup 45 min before boarding time wit airport pickup and traffic kadang-kadang tak menentu, mestila kena left the hotel ASAP. Kalo dah lepas checkin flight nak ilek2 kat airport xpelah. Huhuh. By the way, check out the oleh2 I bought for home.
After boarded and the 3 hours flight, sampailah kami kat KL. Huaaa…But on the flight, aku syok kat one stewardess neh. Hot giler. So sempat la aku paparazzi jap. Tapi terlupa nak tutup flash. Terkontang-kanting aku terkantoian.SNAP!!Ahaha. Pasal nak try, we decided to took ERL balik umah from the airport. Heheh. Laju bebenor bende jadah ni.Pas balik apa lagi. Check out balik sume oleh2 yang dibeli kat Bali. Banyak perabih duit kat ole2 but happy to give out. Heheh. Check the pictures out.
Stalker mode on. Target: Airasia ahmoi. :P
Bali Story....Ver 6
3.45 - Pantai Kuta
After cooled down inside the soping mall, not wasting time and straightaway went to the nearby Kuta Beach. By the way, area sini memang happening. Ade banyak restoran, boutiques, hotel and a lot more. By the way, Pantai Kuta ni dah dibina tembok between the beach and the beach road reason being to protect the sand from going into the road. Bahaya. Kami nak tergelincir dah when motor terlalu atas pasir. So turun ler kami nak berpoto-potoan. Kami behenti betul-betul depan Hard Rock Cafe. From the look of it, Kuta Beach time tu boleh mandi and ombak x sebesar sangat. Several people were surfing while others just playing with the wave. Seems fun. Unfortunate for us, tengok je bleh. Kat pantai tu, i came up with the idea of going to Tanah Lot, Another major attraction in Bali.
Pantai Kuta in manja mode..bulih la mandi.
Tembok Hard Rock Hotel ni macam peninggalan zaman purba lak :P
5.45 - Tanah Lot
From Kuta, it took us about an hour to Tanah Lot by motorbike. Agak konpius gak la jalan nak g sana since signboard slalu hilang separa jalan. Sekejap ade Tanah Lot, skjap xde Tanah Lot. Tu yang lagi sesat tu. AKhirnya tanya kat mas petrol station, mas kedai 24 jam, kami basically dah tau arah mana. Tengah perjalanan tu kami stop beli miyak petrol dalam botol. FYI, kat BAli ni banyak kedai jual minyak dalam botol so don't worry kalo kehabisan minyak. Tapi cukup untuk motor ajelah.Heheh. KAmi also stopped by kat sawah which to me sangat cantik. Sawah kat sana jenis sawah bukit so they're awesome. Setelah jauh perjalanan, akhirnya sampai gak kami kat Tanah Lot. Kat sini dipasang Hinduism chant on the speaker. By the time kitarang sampai, it's time fr sunset already. Nak g ke pantai tu kena lalu kedai-kedai macam kat area Padang Besar. Lotsa shop sold the oleh-oleh. Cheaper some more. A lot mre cheaper than in Kuta or the place we went during the afternoon. Kitarang sampai air tengah surut so kitarang leh le g temple tengah laut tu. Tapi x masuk pon since macam kena bayar. AFter got a lot f our picture taken, kitaorg naik atas and minum-minum kat restoran kat situ overlooking the ocean and the temple. Lawa seyh.Memang another spot for honeymooner wa cakap sama lo..Aku beli coke jek. Alcohol beverages also sold along with cocorum(COCONUT+RUM). Dah gelap tu kami pon beransur nak balik. We stopped by kat one shop. Aku beli another same quality shirt which was 10k cheaper than in Kuta. Rugi-rugi! Next time definitely must buy in Tanah Lot. Preeeet. So off we left Tanah Lot. Bye2!
Pemandangan sawah tepi jalan yang mengasyikkan
Sampai Tanah Lot just in time for sunset.
Orang ramai syok tengok sunset and tengok ombak pecah kat batu.
Cliffside kat sini x sehebat Uluwatu but still cun!
Begambar depan Temple
Bargain shops kat Tanah Lot
The temple from the cliff. Time ni air tengah surut. Kalo tenagh pasang memang macam pulau temple ni.
Marvelous sunset
8.00 - Sesat Point
Serious weyh. Kitaorang sesat ntah ke mana-mana. Kunun xnak lalu kuta and nak g Nusa Dua terus lalu Denpasar tapi terlilau ke daerah mana kitaorang xtau. And signboard to Kuta was nowhere to be seen. So i did what i usually do. Just went with the most traffic flow. Big mistake. Sesat even further. But member was cool. He told me to calm down and helped me out along the way. Finally, kitaorang sampai Sanur which was familiar to me because we went there for Barong Dance. Tadaaa....Sampai Kuta Road balik. Heheh. Just the perfect ache for MASSAGE...............!!
9.00 - Massage Parlor
Located kat Jalan Kuta-Nusa Dua. I chose this place pasal aku penah nampak from the day before billboard diaorg tulis cheapest in Bali, 60k only. So just the right plus for us yang destinasi bajet neh. Actually kat Bali memang banyak massage parlor and spa so it can get really competitive. Tapi time kitaorg g sana tempat ni memang kosong xde orang. Aku pilih Urut Aromatherapy and member amek Bali massage. The difference, Aromatherapy ade head massage and 15000 much more expensive than Bali massage. Kat sini ade few little house yang each ade 2 massage beds. Kitaorang amek separate room. My masseur left me in the room suruh pakai this small disposable underwear. Macam shwer cap pon ade beropol2. Hahah. Really uncomfortable. Imagine being almost naked on a bed with a stranger touching you all over. Seb baiklah my masseur tu macam mak orang dah. Kurang ler segannya. Hihih. But i was snoozing most of the time. Letih ler. Elok lak orang urut,mana x tidur.Hehe. The only time i woke up when she touched my tuchus. Hahah. Then sambung tidor balik. Abes massage memang mata aku merah ler. Memang dah fall into deep sleep dah tu psl keletihan. Dalam bilik ni shower also provided. Tapi malangnya, sabun mcm x serupa sabun. Buih kurang plus bau pon kurang. Dahler minyak yang dia guna bau ros. Aku paling x suka bau ros ni. Busuk. Aromatherapy my ass. Massage pon so-so jek. Still teringat massage aku kat Krabi which i thought really awesome walaupon painful.
Billboard ni lah yang menarik kami to this parlor
Welcome to Coco De Heavan Spa
Macam hotel kat Jepun with Koi Pond in the middle
Massage beds
Shower also got
10.00 Makan McDonalds
After berurut and dia bagi complimentary air mineral kecik ( although green tea would be more appropriate), perut kitaorang decided to seek attention. LAPAR!! Where do you go in here at this hour? Aku ingat nak g seafood Jimbaran tapi tengok member yang makin kering duit, g ajelah McD Jimbaran jek. Funny story, member aku order 1 set 12, dia dapat 12 set no 1. Ambek ko kena cas beratus ribu. Tergelak kami nih lost in translation. Just check out the pics of what we got. Yang bestnya kat Bali ni McD diaorang sell set ayam the cheapest compared in Malaysia where it is among the more expensive set. So we got ourselves some chicken.... :)
Nyum,nyum...Lama den x makan ayam McD.
