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 :)

It’s as early as 2:30am that I heard people is cheering by the road to Jelutong Express and that’s the time the Penang Bridge International Marathon started. Probably Cheryl is there by then as she’s taking part in the 42km run while myself still enjoying good night sleep after tiring day rushing back from Sitiawan.

Jane took part in this time event and for the past few weeks, she have been training in USM Stadium to improve her stamina. At 6:15am, I fetched Jane and her colleagues (Jesse & Tan BC) to the starting point of their Fun Run (10km event) near Eastin Hotels. Then I went back to fetch, this time Serena and Keith to airport to catch their flight at 9:00am. Not sure if there’s any road closure, we decided to leave for airport early.

Surprisingly no road closure at all and everything is just fine. Seem to be early, we had some light breakfast at the airport Coffee Beans. I share my breakfast with Serena while Keith have a set of his own. At about 8:30am, they finally went into the boarding area so I left the airport for, now QBM where the marathon event being held.

At about 9:05am, I receive a call from Jane that she’ve completed her event. It took her slightly more than an hour to complete her 10km while her colleagues is nowhere to be seen. It’s all the training that finally paid off. We walk around the event area while waiting for the lucky draw announcement. Finally, the grand prize was won by other people and … just too bad. Haha, time to go home and sleep … we really slept!

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 :P

Original Mugen Emblem November 16, 2009

Though it’s Monday today but I was more than happy to go to the office as I would be getting my original Mugen emblem which I’ve got it for RM20.

Overall, it’s a nice item and I’ve already have idea on where I shall stick it on my ride. It would be on the front grills chrome bar but not quite sure of the exact place yet as I need to check how it would look like and get the feel for each different place that allows.

Finally I decided to stick it by the end of the passenger side as that would make it look nicer as well as fitted well onto the getting narrow bar. Nice item :)

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.

Headlight Restoration Polish November 11, 2009

We’ve been recommended by Jane’s mechanic on this particular headlight restoration polish to restore her already yellow-ish coloured Atos’s headlight. We’ve got it for almost 2 months in fact but just leave it there either lazy to polish it or just totally forgot about it.

Today since I’m quite free and while cleaning up the kitchen area, I saw it and thought I might as well spare sometimes to polish the Atos’ headlight. Initially I was thinking how good could this product be, probably would help maybe 10% to 20% of restoration. However to my surprise, though it’s not completely 100% restored as the headlight is already about 6 years old, but I would say it certainly help to restore about 60% to 70% of its current condition.

Hmmm, good item but if you guys ever need it, feel free to get it from me as I don’t think this is often use item so not to waste the money to buy it :)

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 :P
