My Thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo

Speculation has been rife over the winger's future with quotes attributed to him claiming he wants to join Real Madrid.

After helping Portugal to a 2-0 victory over Turkey in their opening game at Euro 2008, Ronaldo again reiterated his desire not to discuss his future until after the tournament.

"I haven't decided yet about my future," he insisted. "I'll only do that after the European Championships are over."

I'm getting kinda sick of reading this ronaldo leaving or staying news.

First there was Heinze who wanted to join Liverpool (of all teams ??! ) and now another one.

If he wants to leave, just go. Leave now !!! Ask Real Madrid to fax a copy of his new contract for him to sign and kindly deposit the sales $$$ to MU.

MU don't need this kind of player. From the time he pushed Rooney (yep, i've not forgiven him), we can see what kind of person he is. Actually come to think of it, from the time he wore the no 7 jersey, I've not liked him. He took Beck's number !! Let's groom another no 7 legend. This one, better sell off quickly. Portugese - Big headed & big mouth (like Mourinho). GO QUICKLY !

Such disloyalty.

Ipoh Trip

Went to Ipoh last weekend for a food trip. We started out early, about 9am and reached there at 11.30am. First stop was of course the famous Ipoh Hor Fun.

I've never tasted squid & kangkung with peanut sauce. It's YUMMY !


The famous Ipoh Hor fun:


Ordered Satay and this chicken spare part. I don't know what it was, didn't touch it. I think it's liver?

After this heavy breakfast/lunch, we check-in to our hotel, went sight seeing abit and visit one of our friend's family. They then had beef noodle and it's back to the hotel again for some relaxation and drinking games. What's a trip without drinks rite? We were suppose to visit one of the local bars but ended up at the hotel playing this:


Next morning, I woke up with a very bad sore throat and slight fever. I didn't join them for dim sum. From the looks of this it must have tasted good:


After breakfast, we packed and check out. Time for the famous Curry Mee! This is my favourite. Although my throat was on the verge of bursting, I took loads of fisherman's and had this dry curry mee noodle (minus the bean sprout)


This is the soup-based one. Some of them had this. The soup is so different from those in KL.



Sweet custard. Didn't eat this. Already too full.


Before we depart back to KL, we went to Oldtown for their famous coffee. As you know, I've already quit coffee 2 months ago but I took a few sips.



Another fun food trip. I'd drive to Ipoh now for a bowl of Curry Mee !

I lost weight ??!

Yesterday I had 6 glasses of Kilkenny, some Heinekens, Fried Kuey Teow for dinner & some salamis for supper.

This morning I had Ipoh Hor wan with prawn wantan & lots of chicken. After shower, I weigh myself. I lost 1kg ???????

I checked my weighing machine wondering if someone messed with it. Maybe my grandma accidently adjusted the pointer while cleaning it. (She wipes everything even though they're CLEAN !! ) However, there was no signs of sabotage.

Where did all the food go?

Increase of Petrol Price

I am fuming. Not because our PM announced that our petrol price will be increased to 2.77 per litre. It's because of the long bloody queue at each petrol station in the entire PJ area. C'mon you people. I am sure most of you do not have a bloody empty tank. BUT I DO !!!

Is it not enough that there's floods everywhere in PJ today causing a massive jam all over? Where do you guys find the patience to wait again? Gimme a break. I have an almost empty tank and I have an early event to attend tommorow. I can't even make a single wrong turn near any of the stations. God knows how long I will be stuck there.

I really can't believe how KIASU people have become. Yes, I know it's a hell lot of increase but really! You can only save like half or one tank. What will you do after midnight ? Don't use the car anymore?

Now i have to wake up one hour earlier tommorow just to feed my car. %$#@ !!

And you know what, everything else will increase after tommorow. Food & drinks & air tickets & etc etc. Why dun't you people go stock up quickly at Carrefour or Tesco too ??

First Day @ Work

As usual, the first thing was the introduction to the other staffs, half of which I can't remember their names. I'm sorry, there's just too many of you. I found out that I have a "mentor" which is suppose to help and welcome me and also treat me to some free breakfast/lunch. Btw, all my breakfast, lunch & tea today was paid for by my boss who also paid for my first month parking fee. He says it's his way to treat his staff on her first day.

Next week there is suppose to be an "orientation" to welcome all the newbies in the company. Plus, our faces and details are posted on the bulletin board for everyone to see. I've never been made to feel so "welcome" in any of the companies I've previously worked with. It's kinda nice.

The only slight hitch is my workstation is located right in the middle of the open office concept, with my immediate boss next to me and people surrounding me. For the first time in my entire professional life, I have not surfed all my favourite sites, no Manutd.com, no Soccernet, no Lelong, no Youtube, no Blog & no FACEBOOK !!

Even when I check my personal email, I juz skim through the important ones. I downloaded Windows Messanger but I was too afraid to chat so I had to do it discreetly and chose to chat only to my Canadian friend and my uni mate, Sue.

These people are serious at their work, which is a good thing. They do not fool around during office hours but they will relax and chat during lunch time and after office hours.

I kinda like it. Of course, the first 1 - 2 weeks is always the "honeymoon" period. After that, I will need to show the numbers or else I am dead. But so far so good.

A new beginning

How time flies. It's already the 2nd half of 2008.

Tommorow will be a new beginning for me in terms of my career. I have finally left the bitch but they still owe me my commision. I am wondering if i will ever get it ? The delays & all the excuses pisses me off but what can i do except to vent it all out here ? If they refuse to write me the cheque I can't force them to. I mean, I dun't have a gun =p

Anyway let the past be in the past. I do not hold a grudge on them. After all, it's only a job and I can and have left them behind me.

I look forward to my new company. Lots of new things to explore and a whole new different office culture. Let's see how this works out.
