Today office to be a bit dull especially in the afternoon. A few colleague of mine were already on leave and another few left early on half day leave. Best of all was Michael is leaving for Bangkok for a week and I’ll have to support the Month End by myself this time lol. Holiday mood has been haunting my mind then and I was totally off from work … just wanting to come to 5:31pm asap.
As earlier appointment could not realise, instead of just going back home and cook … I was invited to join Jane’s and her friends @Sakae Sushi for Tan BC’s birthday makan. I didn’t know Sakae Sushi offer so much of variety and though it’s a bit pricey compare to Sushi King but I felt their serving is not bad. I love the Saba fish a lot 
After dinner, we went to the annual Penang state event of Pesta Pulau Pinang. This year crowds dropped a lots, maybe it’s just the beginning still. There’re Euro Funfare as well as local’s stall selling various item such as carpet, foods, computer and etc.
Myself and Jane went for Vortex (did not take any picture lol) and to my surprise, she wasn’t afraid of it … instead she was worried dead that her spec might fell off during the spinning of Vortex. She also went for bumper car that causes her leg bruise slightly by now. Pity girl … anyway that’s what make us grows
Big Apple Cake? November 25, 2009

Birthday celebration has been part of our norm (among few friends in Penang) but birthday cake has been always the same. It’s either multi combination of Secret Recipe’s cake or Jenny’s Cake House chocolate cake and maybe a Häagen-Dazs ice-cream cake which all seem to be quite lame isn’t it?
Oh well, this time there’s something special for Tan BC’s birthday celebration. Instead of having cake, we replace it with Donut and this is a special Donut that fly all the way from KL back to Penang island, that’s the Big Apple Donut. Yeah I know it’s available in Penang but still … just for the fun of it lol.
12 flavour of donuts is available … all seem nice and tastety but not the one of green tea flavour lol. Sweet, slightly too sweet I would say but to have it once a while is still bearable with my stomach. Oh by the way, Tan BC birthday is tomorrow actually but we celebrate it slightly early a bit, at 11:20pm
Oracle Customer Day November 18, 2009

It has been a year since I last went for Oracle Customer Day seminar which I still remember the last time I went was in the Dorsett Hotel. This year the event is organized at Traders Hotels – Shangri-La at Komtar.
I fetched Chan HH and Ong LK there and reaches at about 8:20am. Chua CK was already there. After registered ourselves, we were treat with light breakfast while waiting for other registered participant to come. It’s as usual, the Malaysian time so most of them are basically late. We started our seminar slightly late as the result but the presenter was doing well trying to keep it within the time frame.
Ok, it’s a nice seminar which introduce the Oracle 11g database with it’s features compare to the previous version. They also offer a number of other product that helps to improve the lead time of database query and process. Also was introduce was the new My Oracle Support which was the replacement for Metalink. It’s kind of interesting as it was not the same as last year apart from just some minor item.
After the seminar, I went over to On-Cost to collect Adrian stuff as well as my own. I ask them how long would it take to fix the side step and they told me it would be approx. of 30 minutes. I ask Chan HH and Ong LK to spare me the time to fix it … so they went to the nearby market to help themselves while I get my side step fix.
Finally it’s done … after about 45 minutes but never mind la, it’s a nice item too. This week I’ve got my ride two nice items. Feel very happy but pocket was burned with a hole now. I’ve tested the item, very bright and the wording is nice. Now my only concern is would the LED burn if it contact with water when I wash my car

Oh no, another one is leaving yet again and I am still here seeing people leaving. This time though she is not from the IT department but her work is rather IT related. Anyway her background was also IT. She’s the OA to Purchasing department who liasing closely with us IT people so that’s how I got to know her.
Basically she’s not my user however due to her role as OA and I am the administrator for some reporting services, on and off she would be requesting me to help her to create user and grant role to access those report. Since I directly involve with her, I can’t speak much about her. All I know is that she’s a nice person, very helpful and also responsible person because she put in a lot of effort in getting thing done. She should be a real patient person as well as she’s able to deal with John without much complaint lol. Anyway all the best to her.
Ops, back to daily stuff … I fetched Adrian (yeah he is in Penang again) to On-Cost yet again to get his D1 Spec Grounding Cable Kit and the Pivot MegaRAIZIN voltage stabilizer but unfortunately it was out of stock so he can’t collect it today. In another word, I will be collecting on his behalf tomorrow once the stock is available.
After that, we went to the airport to fetch Serena and Keith before heading to QBM for dinner @Kim Gary restaurant. On our way back, we saw this Adrian think it’s a nice one but I don’t think so … it’s a semi gloss and matte black Honda Civic. Anyway … still Honda!!!
Taking Bus Back November 15, 2009

Since I went back with Adrian yesterday, today I had to take bus back to Penang lol. It has been quite sometimes since I last took bus back from Sitiawan to Penang. Probably the last time I was taking bus was when I have to drive the Kancil back to Johore.
It was a 2:00pm bus and my aunt took me to the Manjung Bus Station. As usual Malaysian are late and same goes for the bus, it was about 15 minutes late from schedule. Along the way, I spend most of my time sleeping until I reaches Butterworth but I did not stop at the Butterworth main bus station instead I stop at a bus stand near the Pacific Mall. Jane would be picking me up from there and have dinner at her place before going back to Penang island. It was raining heavily then.
At night, I went collect the carbon fibre sticker for Adrian near my office as they seller staying somewhere nearby then. It’s a real nice deal as he gave me RM10 discount over the total price. Probably will get more from him soon.
Going Back With Adrian November 14, 2009

Adrian is in Penang again and this time his intention is just to eat eat and eat. After all he would be going back to Ireland next week after Irene’s wedding so he just want to enjoy himself to the max. He was already at my place yesterday night, we had a whole night chit chat til 3:30am only we went to bed.
This morning I woke up at 8:30am, after getting myself ready, I accompany Jane to USM stadium to jogs for a while. After jogging, we came back and after shower and pack all my stuff, we went out for our ‘brunch’ at Perkaka for Dim Sum. After the meal, it’s time for Tom’s Sticker as Adrian wanna get himself some carbon fibre sticker for his FTO side mirror. However it’s too bad that Tom’s Sticker doesn’t sell it seperately as they want it to be with installation packages which Adrian obviously won’t be needing the installation since his FTO is not in Malaysia. So he ended up asking me to help him to ordered from my friend who sell at RM20 per square ft. I ordered for him 1 ft x 4 ft which equal to RM80.
We also went to On-Cost just few doorsteps away from Tom’s Stickers and again, something attracted Adrian. It’s the D1 Spec Grounding Cable Kits and the Pivot MegaRAIZIN Voltage Stabilizer. I was also attracted to the Honda City side step with LED lighting. We nego the price to the nett and hold onto it as we told the boss we shall be putting the order coming week when Adrian would be coming up to fetch Serena and Keith.
It’s time to go back Sitiawan then. We reach Sitiawan at about 4:30pm and I took a short nap (kinda long actually haha) and at night, we went out for dinner with grandparents.
HomeDec Again November 7, 2009

It has been quite a while since the last HomDec visit in July and now HomeDec is back again after 4 months lapse in between. This time around, I found that the stalls was lesser and same goes for the patrons of the day (maybe happened to be during my visitation period lol).
Since we have almost everything yet some not really in the list at this moment, nothing much we could get from there. I bought myself an oven and Jane also got herself something (didn’t know what I shall call it, refer to picture). It’s a bit bored actually for this round HomeDec exhibition. Oh well … not like I gonna buy a lot from there hahaha

Today is another milestones for my grandpa as he is celebrating his 79th birthday. Although that might sound old to you, glad that he is doing very well and still going strong and my wish for him is to be even stronger ever.
Anyway, to celebrate his birthday, he invited close relative to have a simple dinner. Myself and Adrian bought him a cake though we knew he don’t really like to eat but somehow it’s an item not to miss especially for such occasion.
Oh well, nothing much actually. After the dinner, we went over to grand aunt Christine’s house. Meanwhile myself and Adrian busy taking photo for Andy of his new renovated house. Hope he don’t mind I posted some of the picture here.
Nice house though … congrate Andy
