Mondays - The love and the hate.

Things have start to take off for our blog, but we hope more for a fruitful 1st month, so guys, if you all can (should) please give us your support! Our stuffs are of good taste and quality =D seriously!!

Anyway.

I think time has been moving considerably fast, I'm hoping that things will take a turn for me in August. In terms of career, I mean. Last Friday was my first experience in handling a month end sales target, pretty intense stuff I'd say. Obviously when there's shortfall you'd be finding ways to dig up money, even if its from the sky. So, we're caught in that tight situation, we were forcing out orders, but due to miscommunication of pricing has led a whole day's work to... Nothing. And pretty much it was my fault. The managers have decided that we should not let the inappropriate pricing be an argument for our clients to force more discounts, so they made a call to not close the deal.

It's kinda a painful experience, it's been such a stressful day, pressured from all sides, working so hard but because of a slighhhht mistake, things took a 360 turn. Well for now, I hope I'll be fine during the discussion on this next week. Haha

Ahhh... But I digress.

Couldn't help it, my worries are overwhelming me! As I mentioned, time has been moving rather fast, and it's already almost two weeks since I came back from my rendezvous. The distance has certainly became a challenge for me. I like it, but I hate it sometimes. See, sometimes, somethings are too complicated to explain... like this: I like it, 'cos when I see you, I reallly do wanna see you soooo much, the feeling of missing someone never felt this good, but I hate it, 'cos I still have to wait till I see you the next time. But its like this thing in the mathematical equation, y = mx + c... c being the constant that is the distance, but it bridges that gap between y (you) and x (me)... but its m (miss) that determines what you and me are gonna feel. Haha ok, enough of my cheesy approaches.

But, its very much like a Monday to me... Monday is like the bitch that gets in the way between weekends... The agony that a Monday has is much worse than Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday could ever conjure up. I excluded Friday, cos Friday is like the guy who gives you a chill pill. But you know, I think Monday came for a reason, I hate Mondays like I hate those qq acting girls.. but I don't want it out of my life. Otherwise, my love for the weekend wouldn't be as deep as it is now, if it wasn't for Mondays.

It makes you appreciate things more. i guess that's how it works. How extremes work. How you appreciate something so much because you know it isn't easy to achieve. Just like LDR and just like Mondays.

Lakers got into Finals, woo hoo! I think I'm one of the only guys here in Malaysia that doesn't go "Woot! MU are the champs in the EPL!!!". Truly one of a kind. But well done Lakers! After all the speculations that you won't be in the Finals, you have proven yourself again! Next up, proving ground, for Kobe's showdown.

Visit the new e-shop for street wear

There's a new e-shop in town called rosewood avenue clothings. Do visit the site and look for cool shirts at http://rosewoodavenue.blogspot.com 

Really cool designs with prints that are rather satirical and funky, all t-shirt starts at RM30, excluding postage. COD will also be available but in limited areas only. Do pay them a visit on the website and you might just want to get your hands onto one or two pieces.

Sneak previews from the webbie:

May the 16th

Someone told me over a dinner date with friends that its a wrong season to visit. It rains everyday over there. But I knew (know) that visiting on the 16th May can never be wrong. And eating fatty stuff is ok on that date. 

It was a rainy weekend, rains and thunderstorms through the day and through the night. That didn't stop us from getting around and doing things we wanna do, we had lots of fun. Its my first time at the other province, enjoying the sea breeze with the right company. 

Meeting someone miles away are always very intriguing. The amount of time spent together in the last four months can be counted in hours! Well maybe that's the beauty of LDR, I learned. Your relationship never grow old, even as you age. The more you are apart, the more you'd want to get close, and when you do, its like the first greatest feeling ever. And the fact that you only have a few days to spare, makes it so much more valuable then having gold or diamonds. You'll be thinking when can I save to get the gold, I'd be thinking when I can save enough to go there again. 

As much as many would disagree with LDR, I'm glad that both of us have supportive friends. Well, I think we have to always see the cup half glass full to enjoy whatever we choose. So peeps, here's some for your viewing

The amazing skyline from the 31st floor. That's the other look out spot, from the tall building on the left side of the photo; Sirocco. The urban and the sub-urban areas are separated by the river. There's a very strong concentration in terms of area demarcation, but roads and places are way too complicated. 

Rainy day on Sunday. But it didn't stop people from visiting the JJ weekend market. There were crowds walking in and out of the market. But it was pretty good that, it only rained when we finished shopping. But I'm really sorry I forgot someone's horoscope. =D

Well, a t-shirt vendor along the path in the market. Very extensive designs of t-shirt, some very original but some copies. Well, this is just a begining for us. You'll see what I mean later. 

The chicken legs. The flaw that never fail to attract friends' attention in a bad way. Was negotiating for a good price, but we only managed to get 16+1 at the price of RM300. Although we initially wanted to pay RM15 but our quantity wasn't significant enough. 

Its raining pretty badly when we're choosing the t-shirts, but fortunately the shelter was big enough to keep the rain away. the chair was wet, so no one sat on it... 

And before we left for the market, we headed to the nearest supermarket to shop for sandwich ingredients... and prepared... Bacon and bologna sausage topped with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and purple cabbage, in poppy seed loaf. Tasted good! =) And we proudly called it FCA and BLT sandwich

At the karaoke place, after dinner with her friends in conjunction of her birthday. Karaoke is always fun when there's 2 become 1... and a good company to sing and laugh with... There were about 10-15 rooms I guess and the rooms have good interior design and furnitures. And the good thing is there are romanized lyrics. I hope they would do that for chinese songs someday. 

The amount of boats at the beach is really really crazy. I've never seen so many boats at one time in my life before. Its like spamming boats all around the places for no reasons.

Hard Rock Hotel. Very nice place, they even have foam party, according to someone, it's like foam filled swimming pool and everyone would jump in and party. So descriptive, maybe someone's partying without me around! =D And very amazing collection of used guitars at the lobby and showcase cabinets

Riding on the truck, and cruising through the beautiful beach town. How I wish we had more time to chill, and walk around. It was beautiful!

The mobile soft toy seller, riding away.

A bar called "Good Everything" with many white guys with local girls. A very usual sight in the town. 8 out of 10 white guys will be hanging around with a local girl. Guaranteed 4/5. 

Ever bright lights and signs on the busy streets. Busy, busy street. White guys, girls, motorbikes, cars, bars, bars and bars and white guys with local girls, many many white guys. Oh and local girls hitting on white guys. =D
The mall, where we had dinner, very nice and beautiful place, and good food. The only place I can find Topshop over there. But very nice ID and lightings. 

let me know,
do i still got time to grow
things ain't always set in stone
that bein' known, let me know

it seems like streetlights, glowin'
happen to be just like moments, passin'
in front of me

i paid my fare

all the street lights, glowin'
happen to be just like moments, passin'
in front of me
so, i hopped in the cab and
i paid my fare
see, i know my destination, but i'm just not there

in the streets
i'm just not there
in the streets
i'm just not there
life's just not fair

Never fail to put a =) on my face

It's getting hot in here, there must be something in the atmosphere

First of all, which car manufacturer in the world would have created any car with too many defects and shortcomings? I mean seriously, how ignorant can they be? Grinding sound on the front right brake or anything that it could be...(fine.. Proton cars are already famous for weird noises from somewhere in the car) but... things like... a very limited steering radius, placing the back locks at an inconvenient position, and seriously, what kinda car manufacturer produces cars with no glove compartment? seriously...

In addition to that, the reverse sensor has recently gone crazy... and the worst problem is the malfunction of the central locking system. how the fuck would that happen? now when i lock the car, sometimes, the lock on the drivers side would not work... and sometimes the one on the passenger side or the back side wouldn;t work. There is no pattern as to which works or not! how insane is that malfunction? 

I have no choice but to accept those flaws of my dear car. I have no choice but to still love you, wash you when you're dirty, feed you when you're hungry, cos that's what your price tag said about you...

Ok, here's the thing... We spent our weekend celebrating mother's day a week earlier cos we thought we could avoid the unnecessary crowd on the actual date, which we did. Me, my sis and my cousins actually planned to have a 2 family mother's day celebration since its the first time and since all of us have started working, it would be nice to buy our mothers a nice dinner. We planned and some failed till we finally decided to go to Jogoya. 

It was on Friday and we were paying RM102 per pax after netting the price. There were ten of us, and according to the lady, if we had 12 people then we'll get the VIP seating (we'll have extra dishes to order). 

Well, I'd like to compare the more inferior Shogun to Jogoya and I think maybe there was a large gap 2-3 years ago... but now... i think they are comparable. The range is not there... the fishes were not fresh, sushi is very tough... and the only dishes that were nice were the chinese dishes! I mean what the hell? and the desserts, cheese cakes that felt like stone! the only nice desserts they offer are the Haagen Daaz ice creams...

To add on to my horror... we found a cockroach on our sukiyaki pot! *Highlight of the Day* so we called the person in charge to complain, and guess what... when we told him about it, he already had a tissue in hand, and without hesitation he reached out to kill the evidence! So my cousin asked him for some reimbursement and he said he will give us VIP coupons to be used that day. But what the hell, we were all full and I told him that this shouldn't be the way, I guess we paid so much and I think when we see something like this happen, its not fair that we only get food vouchers... whatever the reason he has to defend, i guess it wasn't my problem, it's the restaurant's! and killing the evidence even before we could do anything with it!? wow, how unethical!
