Teddy Bear bday ....

Hi Hi everyone ...wow , Bahija dah hibernate or MIA ( Missing In Action ) for > 2mths - heeee. Indeed, Bahija is really busy at this moment, hope things get settle down pretty soon.... today is Teddy Bear's 42th birthday... Teddy Bear is testing new drugs now, took him 3 weeks to start seeing the side effects, aii :( .... just hope this drug is useful and working well for him la ...Happy sweet Birthday - cute giant teddy bear

new toy no 3 - for teddy bear

This one for Teddy Bear ...from now on - all of my family members can go anywhere , so long we wheelchaired Teddy Bear :) I won't have to worry when he gets his seizure and fall down anywhere anytime .....hippie ....this wheel chair is lightweight, cost slightly higher for being light....light as in 13kg, those normal one is 20 kg ....even 13kg also I hv hard time loading it into my car :)

new toy no 2 - LG washer and dryer combo

This item washer and dryer been on my bin list for 3 years ++ , FINALLY - I DID IT .... may be Bahija also in Merdeka Mood , taking advantage of the Merdeka sales.... Bought this LG 2 in 1 washer and dryer at Harvey Norman ( my first purchase there ) ... Why bought this, and why not the 2 separate ones ? space savings and this 2 in 1 doesn't need a special host to pipe out the dryer hot air ... my kitchen has limited space - very small mah. If dryer rosak , washer may still works, vice versa or both - hee, I'll take the risk and give it a try...I welcomed her to my house today Aug 6, 2007 ..... let see how long it can last eh :)

new toy no 1 - irobot roomba

Hi , a few of you are interested to find out more , i bought the scheduler model.... those In-Kei friends , u can get it at employee discount price. If bought locally, u get the warranty and service at your door steps, the sales and service guys will go to your house to service you but limited to Klang Valley only.... the price is close to 2k. Those who have good colleagues in US , use the US In-Kei employee discount program, there is 20% discount , condition is must order from US , charge to US address credit card and ship to US....warranty is void for irobots bought in US and brought out of US ... I bought mine for 1k. Not recommended to buy scooba ( the mop robot - water based ) from overseas - it is higher maintenance as the mop need special liquid detergent, it may need maintenance frequently ..... Bahija needs some time to setup, read the manual and get this baby up running, may give you some updates later yea

durian feast ...

Bahija had a great evening dinner with some friends .....some of them reminded me of the I-Kei's durian feast ... I-Kei usually organized durian feast once or twice a year , came in lorry load ....we just makan-makan all the durians , as many as we could lor - very syok , i missed those fun times a lot a lot now :) I have brought with me so many wonderful sweet memories from I-Kei ...the I-kei club dinners, the annual dinners, family days , Club Med's team buildings, treasure hunts, offsite fun events , makan-makan, y2k standby oncall at office , cold storage support at data center , overnight at customer places and afraid of bad spirit ... I felt so blessed that some of my good buddies are still with I-Kei and they keep recalling those fun moments back to my brain :)

my new toy .....

2 more days ... my new toy will arrived. It's a broom robot. Yea - bahija is that lazy , I don't have time to sweep my house , and needed a robot to assist ....this new toy comes with scheduling feature , as in morning sweep living room, afternoon sweep dining room, late evening sweep kitchen etc etc ....when the tasks are completed, this baby will automatically go back to it's own 'home' aka charger lor :) ... the demo showed that it can clean very fine dirt, I'm hoping it can do me a big favor

The Firm

my company In-kei sponsoring this local version of 'The Apprentice' - it's call 'The Firm' , every sunday 9 pm @ ntv7 ... check it out , u get to see the in-kei latest 'multiply' C2D commercials .... It's interesting to compare the US and the local version. Local version - at the first 'fire' session, 3 out of 4 team members already cried, and when they had to nominate who to be fired , they didn't maintain eye-contacts - so pai sek to give the name , and said 'sorry here, sorry there' .....whereas the US version - most of the players were strong, muka tebal, argued and fight till the end. Difference in culture eh .... Tonight 's episode, I strongly think that Anrie was a good creative team leader, she's good. It's nice of her to take the blame and volunteered to be fired...yet , I also agree with the GM comment - she should have admitted her lack of experience, learned the lessons, and continue the battle to prove her ability. As a team leader, I think she knows well who is the weaker player or non performer lor ( the audiences can tell easily). In this corporate game, she shouldn't gave up so easily, at least not this round - I am sad to see her gone, wasted ...remember - check this show next sunday yea

07-07-07

Last year 06-06-06 around 6 am, Bahija had a little accident at my office's carpark :) , I've fixed my sweety, given her a new paint & new bodyworks - she's looking cool now. 07-07-07 is Ronnie wedding day, he's my american brother ( my american host family) . Hey Ronnie - Congratulations - it's a nice date. 07-07-07 also known as Live Earth day -to create global warming awareness. 07-07-07 , the new 7 wonders of the world will be named - hope Bahija completed 50% of the new 7 wonders list eh .... for me - I want to make a difference on someone's life , and decided 07-07-07 - to sponsor a child .... Hope one day, I get to visit the child personally .....ciao

July 2 ....

Bahija has 3 friends who celebrate birthday today ... it's easy to ingat dee
just want to briefly describe them ....
one is goin thru a change thingy and starting the next chapter of life
one went thru challanges but still rock solid, enabled her to do things she has never thought of ..
one got her wish granted, found the treasure ....

Happy Birthday friends !

Las Carretas...

Bahija's guest sudah balik, he's a hispanic - on 2 mths sabatical, and he finally decided to visit Msia. Bahija has done a good job for my country, as a ambassador - shared with him a lot of our culture and history. Likewise, I also learned many things from him too , especially the hispanic culture - wait la, one of these day, I will visit Mexico City :) 4D3N - we did Melaka, Genting, KL city tours....at KLIA, he gave me a few hundreds - all his remaining RM and asked me to bring my mummy to a restaurant for food ... my mummy is very pandai, she said she has not try mexican ...viola - we went to Las Carretas at Taipan USJ - nice ambience , food quite tasty , slightly pricy. Bahija and Docker's pant ate quite a few times of mexican food - yum yum yum ...
Bahija is off to phuket today with TaiPoh - hippie :) ciao & cheers

5th yr anniversary ......

Hooray, Bahija made it - solid 5 years of service with In-kei :) June 17, 2002 was the 1st day at In-Kei @ PG, never thought that I could survived this long, it's amazing how time flies ....geeeeee , 5 years are long time leh. I had 6 yrs with I-Kei, learned a lot of things, went thru a lot of various stages, met many many people and friends .... now 5 yrs here at In-kei - is very different, I've met a couple good buddies, worked with folks from various regions, on biz trips to a few places, trained in a few new areas ...I'm so blessed, so lucky to have the chance to experience the differences .... Today, I also celebrated this special day with a colleague of mine, who came all the way from FM :) , we did our toss @ chinatown , learned the mexican way of drinking beer - pour beer into a glass full of ice, and add some salt and lemon juices - not a bad idea

it's time to go home ....

Sayonara .... it's been a really really really busy wonderful trip. Every trip is special. Someone once told me, a place , a trip is memorable because it is surrounded with friends, people - that make the whole thing special ... this trip I met most of my friends, and spent a lot of time with Dockers' Pant, plus her family too :) Dockers' Pant is like a guardian angel , out of a sudden, she would said something - and those were exactly the things i needed to do , or places i needed to go ....We both gave thanks many times - as we truly 'received the blessings' ... one thing i failed to do , was to call my friends ....hmmm, bad bad girl. Tonight my team went to this nice japanese restaurant - Mikuni's - yummy - check out the sushi boat :)

it's time ....

The news asked consumers to mark calenders and get out the sleeping bags ....for what leh ? for camping ker ? June 29 - US start selling iphone ...no pre-order allowed, and expecting sales to be super laku, hot cake ..my kawan-kawan kat US already made plans, hit talk in the market , guess the scenario like Msians camping at developer office during the launch of a good housing project, will happen here on June 29 at 1800 AT&T and nearly 200 Apple stores , first come first served...usd499 and usd599, consumers must commit 2-yrs contract with AT&T , with mthly charges. Asia region - we kena tunggu lagi. Hope it's worth the wait eh :)

hello ...

Howdeee, Bahija been MIA for a while :) , very very busy at this moment .....currently, Bahija is enjoying her cruises around town with this 2007 TC sweety - leather seats, sun-roof - good enough to keep me happy ...my other sweety ( the one which has been serving me > 11 yrs old - got a new facelift - bodyworks and repainted, plus interior wash ), I'll see her when I get back pretty soon .....

fake guava-apple ....

During my teambuilding session at Cameron Highland ( CH) , we visited the market near hotel EQ ...Bahija and friends saw bags of big bright red or bright green color apples, the skin looks smooth too, all of them pre-packed in plastic bags ....we were very curious of this kind of fruits. One of the stall owner happily opened a bag and cut out some for us to test, it's RM9 per bag for 2 pieces ...the minute I tasted it , I quickly told my friends that it's not genuine, tasted like the fruits been soaked in sugar - it's artifical - tipu punya .... The owner somemore told us that a lot of foreigners came back and bought many bags from her ..... aiyuh, today Star newspaper , there is an article on ' fake guava-apple ' - BINGO - that's the one - take a read la ... it's really true lor - tourists or visitors will think that CH produces this special hybrids , padahal - kena tipu nia ..

Last weekend, went to Chinatown, I also saw these fruits there - so beware friends, JANGAN MAKAN , JANGAN BELI ... however, no harm do a sample testing - see if you can differentiate the artificial taste tak ?

a wonderful person....

Sometimes people asked Bahija 'what's your favourite food ?' - hmmm, Bahija sometimes pun tak tahu , sometimes also need to think hard , think high , think low to come out with an answer .... last thursday - someone came to my house - this person brought along a few dishes...when I reached home and open the containers - WOW - amazing lor - all the 4 dishes were my favourite food. At that moment, I felt so great, so blessed , and also guilty for what I've done ....there is this someone who knows me so well , and so caring to me - she's none other than my dearest mummy lor - Bahija really need to control her tongue and should appreciate her :) thanks , mummy - for all the yummy food , most important - for all the loves .....Happy Mother's Day

all done in (30+ 5) mins

Here is a blog by Patrick Teoh on the Jabatan Imigresen, Cawangan Wangsa Maju which started operation since Jan 2007, the pertama complex punya sudah tutup kedai , so kawan-kawan, don't go there liow yea... Today , Bahija brought mum to another cawangan, it's the Shah Alam , Komplex PKNS branch. We arrived at 10:30 , photocopied IC , took photos - 5 mins. Went to queue for number, surprisingly super duper fast. By 11 am, application form, thumb print and payment completed , wow - Bahija impressed. Then officer asked me to go back collect the passport at 3:30 pm same day .... so we went home, balik at 3:30 , spent 5 mins to collect the new passport. Those officers I met were polite & friendly too. One happy customer here. A wish list - it would be wonderful if can collect passport within 2 hours ...macam tu , we go lepak , minum teh tarik, sembang sikit - 2 jams easy to kill :)

5/5 - 6/5 team building

Last weekend, Bahija attended a team building at Cameron Highland. My last visit to CH was when I was at Form Five .....it's been a while :) . I enjoyed this trip very much, we stayed in an isolated hostel in the middle of the huge tea plantation , nice green view , quiet , we had the whole complex by ourselves. It's a wonderful neat super cheap place , only RM 10 per head nia. Why I enjoyed this trip ? well, in the office - everyone busy, focused on their own jobs or tasks, we hardly have time to cross-chat....in this offsite event, each of us just got to spend time and we got to know the personal side of the others .... well done to the organizer committee who did this donkey jobs - bravo !!

This is the view from the hostel ..... surrounded with tea !

Spent RM5 on these whole thing ....cheap eh :) ...The crystal vase was a precious gift from my last manager in i-kei. It's a good quality heavy-duty crystal vase :)

April 30 and May 1

April 30 - Bahija was tested on my integrity , my tongue , my obedient and my dicipline ...... all the 3 personal events happened on this date ......

May 1 - Reading the book of James - the 3 events I encoutered the day before was brought up ....plus a few more points too

If Bahija doesn't cleanse her heart, control her tongue , gain wisdom - disaster will come ... choice is on my hand

sweets sweets sweets .....

Heeeeee - a few of my friends will be smiling at me when they see these , thanks to all the angels who brought them over here .... enjoy !!!
