he's fine

dad's fine today, feeling much better ... able to eat, drink and sleep easier compared to yesterday ... still being monitored and hopefully his kidney can be fully functional again or at least half ... but he's alright

thanks to all my frens who called, or asked ... thanks for all ur concerns :)

29th november 2008

just got back home ... it's 2.30 in the morning ... it's raining ... since evening right up till now ... i hope i was jus back from a drinking session or a clubbing session ... but i'm not ... i was jus back from the um medical center ... dad was admitted into the hospital yesterday evening ... i went over to see him once i finish work.

on d way back home, through the very common n familiar federal highway, the journey felt ... long and difficult ... i thought, mayb it's because of the rain, or mayb i was driving alone, or mayb it's 2 in d morning, or mayb the road was slippery n i was hydroplanning for a bit ... the usual 10 minutes drive took me double the time to reach home ... i've never seen dad in such great amount of pain ... hurts me so much and i couldn't do anything but to hold his hands ... and i guess the rain got into my eyes for some reason ...

dad's feet n neck were a bit swollen about a week ago, we all knew there was smth wrong ... he didn't wanna go for a checkup until finally he went n he was diagnosed for kidney failing, anemia ;which was new; and mild diabetes ... he's been through that once but this was different ... he's 59 this year ...

mum was d most worried ... and it was elder sis who've been alongside them for d whole day ... younger sis came along after work ... even uncle n aunt visited dad for the night ... they were all very worried ... including me myself at work ... i'm sorry to my colleagues n friends if i'm a bit too serious at work today ...

dad has been strong for us all through his 59 long years and he will continue to stay strong for a lot more years to come ... dearest mum, pls stay strong n both my dear sisters ... let us all be strong for dad ...

hope you get well soon dad ...

not available so soon in US or Malaysia, it´s only a matter of time before 4G smartphones become popular in the Malaysia due to the coverage of wimax mobile networks :)

dream

slept for few hours yesterday ... in d midst of my sleep i had a very weird dream ... and i remember this dream quite clearly ... wonder why i can remember this dream ...

i was walking in a quiet street ... then suddenly i slipped myself n fell down coz d street was slippery, but then out of nowhere a black scorpion crawled out onto my head. i didn't move, when it reached somewhere above my ears ... the scorpion stung me with its poisonous tail. and then i woke up, it was already 7 in d morning... the weirdest thing is tat i felt my left head a bit numb n up till now i can still feel it's a bit numb...mayb it's not a very good sign ... or mayb i'm juz too superstitious n tired ...

when i woke up, n got myself ready to work, i went to feed my little doggie out at the balcony ... after cleaning his stuffs n filling it up with food, i walk towards d wooden door n found that it was locked from d inside! which means i locked myself outside! so i thought for a while on how to unlock d door which is inside ... i wonder what's happening to me ... got locked in d parking area yesterday night ... got locked again today in my own house! luckily ... i've got d keys hanging on d metal gate when i opened it to access my balcony so i grabbed d keys n unlocked the door n got back into d house ...

fren said it's not a good sign ... d scorpion especially ... hehe ... any comments anyone?

microsoft store

microsoft, ever heard of this company? if u haven't, then pls return to ur home planet as microsoft is one of the largest software companies in this planet earth n they're also trying to catch up in hardware area as well ...

talking about software, they're considered the giant but don't u feel weird when u can't actually have a direct online website to purchase any legal software from microsoft themselves?

finally they've decided to launch their very first microsoft store ... called microsoft store (sound similiar to u?) ... where did all the names go!? u can now purchase any legal software / hardware directly from this webstore and download it directly into ur harddrive (given u have a very FAST and STABLE connection) after paying for it tat is ...

and their website address is http://store.microsoft.com/home.aspx

if ur looking for a straight forward option? here it is ... online stores currently apply onli to United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Korea

madagascar 2 : escape to africa

马达嘎斯卡 2 : 逃离到非洲
(correct me if i'm wrong pls, juz my guess)

juz got back from watching the 2nd installment of a hilarious comedy of a journey on a group of animal frens befriended in new york zoo...had nothing much to do so decided to watch a movie after work with some colleagues n i ended up watching the movie at 11.25pm in berjaya times square with 6 other colleagues of mine (it's the onli choice coz other slots were totally SOLD OUT!!!) when i collected my tickets (which i bought online), i saw d cinema seatings were totally full too! and yeah, if ur planning to watch this movie pls buy it directly or pre-book ur tickets online or else u'll b dissapointed if u wanna watch it last minute ...



it's been a while since i last queued to enter the cinema ... wat to say, this movie is really worth watching ... it's funny right from the start (even the intro) straight till d very end, with some really sweet stuffs in d middle :) still, it's a very very hilarious movie to watch ... i like to move it move it ... :o hehe, i like :D


p.s : on d way to my car, i found out i'm missing my parking ticket so i thought either one of my colleagues got it but after about few minutes of searching my own pockets, i found out i'm really missing my parking ticket. tried tracking back to the auto pay machine to look for it but couldn't seem to see it anywhere...after about 10 to 15mins of searching with colleagues helping around, i gave up as it was already quite late ... so i decided to pay for lost ticket, i guess i left it at d machine myself n someone took it after me. went over to the management office n looked for d guy telling him i lost my ticket, but he was a bit kind or mayb i look too good boy d ... so he juz asked me to drive my car over n he'll open d gate for me :) when i got there, he came over with a key but he noticed something on d other gate ... a parking ticket on top of the gate ... he grabbed it n slot it into my gate n it opened ... hmm, mayb d guy who took my ticket felt guilty n left my parking ticket there ... or i'm juz lucky :)

anyway, it's a very long short-story ... thanks for reading~! good nitez!!
