1,000

This blog was launched back in Dec 06. Originally I was thinking of only writing something for myself but later, around mid of January, I changed my mind to announce it to Stonemaster and Gilachess. Then the counter of visitors started on Jan 14th 07 and finally reach 1,000 visitors after 3 months.
And the 1000th visitor is
Not a great archievement though, but at least I got some regular readers.. Thanks for the support. =)

老朋友

有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎? 半年没见了,她依然那么迷人...
周末午时突然接获短讯,知道她已人在槟城, 于是互通短讯约好周日午餐时相见...
迷迷糊糊过了一天,很快到了周日午时.好不容易来到PC Fair现场,寻着了她, 无奈她却忙着,午餐延迟至三时...
终于见面了,不管三七二十一地把她载到最远处(来回50公里)只为了午餐.半年不见,咱们没放过一分一秒,沿路谈个不停.也许把午餐延迟让大家都饿了,两人共吃了六盘!!
夕阳无限好,只是近黄昏.. 不得已, 咱们踏上归途. 沿途还买了不少快餐.
把她送到PC Fair现场,而我却独自踏上归途...

Idiot

Who is the idiot? He is non other than yours truly, me, myself. Well I installed PostNuke as the CMS (Content Management System) for my website but could not manage to configure it in such a way that it act the exact way I want. Finally, I had to write my own CMS with PHP, create the MySQL database and design my own template which is ugly, well I am no designer and always get complain since years ago.

Am I am too stupid to use a system or am I simply too choosy?

Cheers!

ABC from far away

I had to travel more than 300km as a driver last weekend. On the way back, my friend suggested to stop and take an ABC** at the side of the road. While it ain't so delicious as compare to what I can get in Penang but it was from far away.
Guess where was the place.

**ABC? ABC == Ais Batu Campur == Ais Kacang (please refer picture above).

Threaten

Someone just walked over and asked me "Did you mess up with my friend?" during lunch hour, Date 20070403 and Hour 1310. Can we call this a threat? May be I should file a police report on this...
Someone just does not ask a friend to threaten me like this, this is not the way. If someone does not like me, just tell me and we can sort this out the other way but not by telling someone else and let the someone else threaten me...
I know I joke a lot but I always tell out my words with a smile and that means big jokes. May be some people does not like that. I remember joking around and a friend told me he did not like that so I sort of keep it serious with him after that...
But this time...

Still Active

I had not been playing in any FIDE rated event and get rated (I do play in Malaysian Chess Challenge which was rated but never paired with any of the rated players.) As a result, my FIDE rating should be inactive according to the rules of FIDE. My record however is still active when I check on the latest FIDE rating list this morning.
My rating card as follow or available at FIDE (World Chess Federation) official website.

My world ranking is of 5 digits as shown here or figure below.

Well, I should start finding a few days off my work commitment and join 1 or 2 FIDE rated events later this year or else I will be inactive soon...

Cheers!!

Dinner @ Little Kitchen Restaurant

Gathering became the theme last night when we (3 people only) gathered at Little Kitchen Restaurant for dinner and later went for movie, Meets the Robinsons. We all ordered a set dinner that is different from each other and as usual we took photos. Well, ladies first so here we go the photo of the girl with her main course.Next myself with 70% cooked steak.Finally, the guy with pasta.The dessert!
The food was good and the atmosphere was great. For those looking for a great place for dinner (candle light dinner) can look for the restaurant at Bandar Sunway, Prai, Penang.

Until then,
Cheers,

NEC Computers Community Open House 2007

The year 2007 edition of NEC Computeres Community Open House concluded successfully last weekend (23-24 Mar). I was helping on the game booth to let the visitors complete a puzzle and get a free PS2 Optical mouse. We gave out several dozens...

On the mean time, I managed to take some times to take some pictures with people around. For the opening, here is a picture between me and a pretty lady. Guess who is she? She is one of the models for NEC Computres!!
Nothing particular happens after that as day 1 was only a few hours and after that, we went to Penang for dinner. As a record, we ordered 10 dishes for 12 people!The people just could not wait for me to finish with the photo.


Day 2, and my colleagues insisted that I should meet an ex-colleague... as they say..
Do we look like brothers? They all say that, what do you think?

Well, that's all for NEC Open House as some other photos are...

Cheers!!
