Crazy Tiles Seller 31 May

*A replacement post for 31 May 2014

Mum and I went to measure the area of tenanted house's bathroom in order to buy correct amount of ceramic tiles for the contractor.

We met a very bad attitude tiles seller in a shop. We just said that tenanted house did not need to use very good quality and expensive tiles. "Then did not need to use and make tiles for the tenanted house" said the seller. Such a rude business person!

Godzilla 2014 30 May

*A replacement post for 30 May 2014

- Time flew.
- Busy with modules sampling and paper resit preparing (supposed to fail the students directly, didn't know whether they will appreciate for the special resit arrangement or not)
- Planned to upload carried marks which asked by students but knocked off time so fast reached.
- At night, I went to watch Godzilla with ex-colleagues.  I met them and had a chat with them at I-dragon before the movie. The movie was very funny. I laughed a lot as it didn't make sense at all for most of the scenes. It was really like Ultraman and the "Raksasa". LOL.


Watson Touch n Go 29 May

*A replacement post for 29 May 2014

I talked to a student after my laboratory session. She seemed very pity. Why the students had a lot of disputes among themselves because of a project? Suddenly I felt her project partner was really a bad person. I only could advise her to talk and discuss with her supervisor about the issue she encountered.

After work, I went to reload my Touch n Go card at Watson as my colleague told me that there was a 5% rebate for each RM100 reload. I went to the Watson in a hypermarket which located along the way of my back home journey. I was being told by the cashier that only cash reload was accepted. Therefore I withdrew cash at the ATM machine in the hypermarket. End up the reload was not allowed for normal TnG card and only applicable for Watson TnG card. Sucks...... wasted my time and energy. My leg was painful at the moment and made me walked a lot.



Tyre Punctured 28 May

After work...... Went home journey...... Tyre punctured......
Considered lucky......
Weather fine...... Rear left tyre...... Less traffic......

This was my first experience of changing tyre alone. I was a bit panicked and almost left out the car jack on the road. I only collected it back after moving for some distance away from the tyre changing location.

Lack of Practical Knowledge 27 May

*A replacement post for 27 May 2014

I felt I was lacking of knowledge especially practical stuffs.
I can't handle well on my students when they asked me about motors. I noticed that I really did not know much. OMG.

Feng Shui Rearrangement 24 May

*A replacement post for 24 May 2014

It was a busy and tiring day.

I fetched the Feng Shui master to and fro between his house and our house. The houses are about 15 km apart from each others. He commented a bit on the prayer stuffs installation and seat. Also some minor furniture rearrangement. The walkway of the house must be spacious enough to let the "god" to come into the house freely.

At night, we rearranged the furniture immediately. We still managed to move the heavy piano with the assistance of wood rod and brother-in-law.

Credit card Scam? 23 May

*A replacement post for 23 May 2014

I received a call from this number 03-2xxx6xxx.

It was a call from a bank to offer their credit card to me. My conversation was carried out in my office until colleagues managed to listen. Normally I would just reject their offer. However, I provided them a lot of my information to them for the application this time. Was I being hypnosis?

I worried that it was a scam after the call and searched for verification on the number which called me on its ingenuity. After some researches, I thought it was really called from the bank credit card division.


Busy papers marking 22 May

Injection for Bathroom Leak 21 May

*A replacement post for 21 May 2014

We got an early off work after the big boss's procession ceremony. We queued outside the school compound and paying last respect to him.

Mum asked a contractor that she knew from relative's temple to come over to our tenanted house to inspect and quote for the bathroom leakage repair fee. We met at the house and the contractor introduced us a new injection method to overcome the leakage problem. It costed about RM 1.5k even with injection without re-tiling the floor. He also did not able to confirm the exact cost for the repair. It was very expensive. Finally we chose to do repair with conventional way which is re-tiling the floor.

My own Pace 20 May

*A replacement post for 20 May 2014

I went to pay my last respect to my company big boss at his house. As expected, everything was grand especially the most conventional casket.

At night, I also can quarreled with big sister via whatsapp. Damn it, I hated her. She always like to dominate people's life. I knew you were very successful in your career. Please do not step down people like a shit! You thought you were pushing people for success and very great? You only brought in unnecessary negative pressure to people. I knew what I wanted in my life and I had my own pace for my life.

Unashamed 16 May

*A replacement post for 16 May 2014

It was my colleague's last day service in the school. Therefore, we went outside for lunch together.

It was very awkward because our new colleague wanted to join us as he was not being invited. We met him at the corridor of the office by the time we wanted to go for lunch. He insisted to go along with us although we told him that he can go for lunch in the school's cafeteria. He is kind of person who really "thick face skin" and not understanding. Our fault was we didn't plan to go out secretly and silently. Sigh......

Loose Hinges on Cabinet 13 May

*A replacement post for 13 May 2014

It was Wesak day and one of a Malaysia's public holiday.

I went to morning market with mum. Later, we went to find shop that has kitchen cabinet repair service as our house kitchen cabinet's hinges were loosen. We asked for an arrangement to check our cabinet's problem from a shop. We canceled the arrangement via phone call when we reached home as we thought it wasn't worth for the minor repair. 

After that, I found various DIY method via the internet on how to repair the hinges due to the loose wood holes. They were quite interesting. End up, I used over-sized/larger screws to tighten back the cabinet's hinges.

Plumber & Tenant 12 May

*A replacement post for 12 May 2014

Arrangement for water pipe leaking repair was kinda troublesome.

The plumber that I contacted was a bit weird as he did not able to confirm a date to check the water pipe leakage at our tenanted house.

Our tenant was even worse. He seemed like very annoying when I called him and tried to arrange for water pipe repairing.

What happen to the world? I was giving you business! I was solving your high water bill issue!

Huat Kueh and Jin Dueh 11 May

*A replacement post for 11 May 2014

It was mother's day. Besides, it was also a prayer day for grandmother's memorial.


I went to morning market myself as mum was busying for the prayer's preparation. Due to the "Huat Kueh" - Prosperity Cake was not available, I bought "Jin Dueh". I also bought some fruits for the coming day 15th prayer which was 2 days later.


At night, we went to eat vegetarian buffet dinner for mother's day celebration. I felt very full after the dinner as I ate a lot. This was really bad for stomach. Buffet meal was not a good option as we tend to over-eating.  


Car Power Window 10 May

*A replacement post for 10 May 2014

I helped my sister to send her car to repair the failure power window in the nearby workshop. 
At first, the workshop personnel told me that the window's metal support frame (regulator) was spoiled. End up it was due to the motor as it didn't lock during not energized. Finally the repair cost became cheaper as the motor was cheaper than the regulator. It seemed like they were not very experienced in determining the part failure.

Mum and I went to determine the water issue at tenant's house. The house was kinda dirty. After investigation, I was quite sure that the water pipe was leaking as the meter was still moving slowly even all water outgoing valves were closed including the valve that connected to the water tank that located under roof / above ceiling. The tenants supposed to troubleshoot it by themselves and informed us earlier to avoid high water bills.


Farewell Lunch 9 May

*A replacement post for 9 May 2014

I gave a colleague farewell lunch as I missed another one previously. He was going to continue focus in his study.

The new colleague was being boycotted by us as he was really problematic. We went out for lunch without his notice. I was a bit pity on him as we kept on talking bad about him.

Class Finished 6 May

*A replacement post for 6 May 2014

It was the final week of semester for another cohort of students.
Why a few students asked me whether I still had class with them or not?
Were other colleagues already completed their teaching for the semester?
Was I the one who still not yet completely delivered the syllabus? 

I was doing last call for students who yet present their assignment works to me.
An international student told me that they thought it was an optional presentation.
Oh......such a cunning student. Since when I told them that it was optional. The student did not know clearly about the announcement because he did not attend most of my classes at the end of semester.


Examination Worries 5 May

*A replacement post for 5 May 2014


It seemed like I more worried than my students during the final examination.
I kept on giving them insights about the questions, especially for the seniors' cohort. Perhaps, I felt a bit sorry to them as the questions are kinda tough this round.
I was not supposed to talk too much during the examination as it was not the right procedures.

Celebrities Battle

Today I watched again 全能星战 an entertainment program on television. It was the finale competition among the current singers.

I noticed this program since last few weeks ago via the television Astro AEC channel. It is quite a nice program to watch. My idol, David Tao took part in the competition. 

From this tv program, I got to know a singer 龚琳娜. Quite an impressive singing from her. Another annoying producer 金武林. Hate his unfair deed in the vote casting.

I was being impressed by a champion singer too. He is 胡彦斌. In fact, one of his old song caught my attention. "Waiting for you" is the song...... His performance was good throughout the program unfortunately he do not have handsome face. Anyhow it is still a cutie......lol


The 8 contestants

The crazy producer

Help me! 3 May

*A replacement post for 3 May 2014

I vacuumed the car due to a bad smell in the car at the previous day.

Mum made a video call to oversea aunt. Mum wanted to say thank you for the gift that aunt gave. Later, the conversation focused about my relationship issue, finding a girl friend for me and etc...... I felt really really uneasy to handle all these. It even made me wanted to isolate myself at home and from the society because I was not afford to let you all know my problem.

At night, I thought mum was asking niece to spy on me also...... I did not know how long I could stand with it! God...... please tell me what could I do?

Sin 2 May

*A replacement post for 2 May 2014

I went to temple and the old manager talked a lot to me......

I knew it is good but I felt too hopeless recently......

I was wondering whether my feeling on guys is a sin? How could I prohibit myself from the desire and preference? It was really torturing......
