鸟人成仙记 Introducing Nelson

江边一只大话鸟

There's this bird beside the river that's full of shits (the bird, not the river)

男女通杀

Attracted to both genders

我男女都爱因为…我像神酱，博爱世人！！

I love both man and woman because... I'm like a God, I'm all loving!!

鸟神 (God of Birds)

Nelson

As I have said I like to promote Nelson more this year, the next Nelson promoting entry will most likely be titled:

"There is something about Nelson"

Stay tuned (but don't hold your breath).

=)

Finally completed my documentation and spammed sent it to the relevant people.

Here's hoping that's the end of it.

Who am I kidding?

While writing the document I already had another "hmm, what if..." moment and had already started on another 24 cases to quench my curiosity.

Oh well, 'job security'!

=P

This is a rant

Jeez, first entry of 2009, and it's going to be a rant.

This is so veli da MEH!

I have been going to bed after 02:00 hours everyday since entering 2009, starting the night of 2nd of January, Friday.

The reason?

I have been working every night until I simply had to hit the bed, including weekend.

And guess what I did on New Year's Day when everyone was celebrating?

Work, work, work.

Remember the 80ish modelling cases I said I have to redo, and that I would be cutting corners down to 50ish cases?

Well, I have completed all the simulations, a grand total of 128 cases.

So much for cutting corners...

I only have myself to blame, I think I got carried away with the "hmm... what if..." moments. >.<

So I have been post-processing all those cases, analysing the data, and working on the documentation which is supposed to be dued, erm... last week.

What a way to start a new year. Great, just bloody freaking great.

=\

In order to save this entry from a complete moronic rant, it's of great pleasure to know that there will be (at least) two July babies from my colleagues this year.

And while she hasn't announced it and we didn't ask (not knowing if the parents-to-be want to keep it a secret still), it's obvious from the Christmas gathering that a high school friend of mine is going to have a baby (or more!) this coming, hmm... June? July? Maybe May even! (my bulging tummy pregnancy duration judging skill is veli da meh!)

Congratulations! =D

Oh, and here's my grocery shopping list, sorry bananas and watermelons, get someone to translate if you are really interested. =)

improvise when you forgot how to write a word! =P

Bye bye 2008

As 2008 is coming to an end, it's fitting to spend a while reflecting on the achievements obtained and count the number of resolutions accomplished.

You know, this is going to be really easy for me since my 2008 is lacklustre at best.

Nothing worthy comes to my mind for achievement. The only thing I can think of is that tagged-along department award which by sheer dumb luck I just happened to be with the right group of colleagues who did all the super high-tech advance stuff. I contributed next to nothing, so that doesn't count.

If I really stretch it, I could say that my one achievement is that I still have my job. Slacker extraordinaire is still employed, maybe that count for something?

As for the resolutions set at the beginning of 2008, well... I didn't accomplished any of it.

• Half marathon: nope, didn't happen, stopped the training when I was sick and never did resume.
• Archery: thought and still thinking of picking it up again, but never did happen.
• Photography: same story as archery.

Not just that, I have a few ideas and things that I like to do, but just hasn't happened, like:

• the guide about basics of photography I wanted to write and post on my blog
• finish the Baldur's Gate series, I have had the game for ages!
• get a baby girl in the year of the Rat, so we can have "Snake" and "Rat" in the house! =P
• and so on...

Me is weak. >.<

Ah well. To make myself feel better, I did started a vibrant vocabulary category in this blog, those "Vocabulary Lesson with CK" entries to spread the language polution, hehehe.

Also started the gross grafitti category simply because a colleague said I have talent and I am gullible enough to be fooled.

It's safe to say that my 2008 is simply MEH!. To avoid the same thing happening in 2009, I am not going to set any resolution! =P

Well, maybe just a few things that I really like to do... I have promised to bug a colleague more and got thanked for that, so I have to keep the promise. Make baby. Maybe get a mobile phone (yea, the sky is falling!). Make baby. Help to get Nelson 'Kok Kok' Tan even more well-known. Make baby. Make more fun of myself. Make baby.

Did I mention I want to get a baby in 2009? Preferably girl. Already have His Royal Highness King Baby Hsiang, who was made in England. We want one made in Malaysia! Haven't succeeded thus far, I think we gotta try the Titanic style 'hand on steamed glass thingy'. =D

Happy new year everyone, may your 2009 be fantastic!

Make baby! =P

字汇 (December 08)

今天在光华日报看到一篇文章讲关于网络语言的，里头有两个很有趣的字。

原本是想无耻地一字不漏键入部落格与大家分享的，但是叻…

哇噻！根本无法原文抄袭叻，因为微软拼音字典里没有这两个字。

没法啦，只好更无耻的将原文拍了起来上载到此！呵呵！

源：光华日报

那个 jiong 字真的好像人脸这样，哈哈好可爱的字！

“呆呆”真是再适合来形容我不过了！ =P

好可惜无法键入这两个字，好好玩的字喔！

Seasonal Greetings

seasonal greetings from the frozen snail

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Now gimme my presents! =P

One Third (Dec 08)

If you have been following this blog faithfully (*gasp* da horror!) and being observant, you would notice that this entry was posted earlier than usual for a working weekday's. Which means I have free time straight after work, which means...

Yea, I am being "one-thirded" again.

Again if you have been following this blog (seriously, are you insane?), you would know what that means.

Since most sane people only stumbled upon this blog by chance or being fooled into reading by my shameless and relentless spams, I shall be courteous and explain that being one-thirded simply means my wifey and His Royal Highness King Baby Hsiang are away.

You see, they are part of me, so when they are away, I am incomplete, missing two thirds of myself.

Clear like mud isn't it? =P

Being one-thirded is bad for health.

The feeling of emptiness and seperation, of something's missing, of strangely lonely even when among crowds... these are just a few of the emotional impacts.

As for physical, well, I am not getting my daily dose of exercise, like jogging (chasing after Hsiang), weight lifting (carrying Hsiang around), endurance training (carrying Hsiang on shoulder or piggy-back), et cetera.

SERIOUSLY bad for health!

You know, it's just... weird saying a prayer every night without kissing my baby and my wife goodnight.

Kindly excuse me if you found me looking hollow, blank, dazed, and/or lost these few days.
