Another Haze Day

Today wasn’t feeling too good with my sinus coming and going due to the bad weather and the haze. To top it up, the heat wave and humidity is making things much worst than it already is.

Went out to Old Town today for lunch with Beckz, Yee Lin, Japson and Jesse and was sweating all the way…after lunch things got bad when I went back to office where it was colder and cooler… the sinus came back and i was coughing away and my nose was very runny…decided to go to the Gents to sneeze it out and cough our the excess mucus. Felt better after that with some hot tea thanks to Beckz and Yee Lin.

Today CJ traffic was really bad that the Exit to KLIA/Subang via the Elite HWY was at a standstill …
had to take the LDP which was longer and more expensive since the toll isn’t any cheaper and the gas consumed more …

well today’s Mom’s b’day and she’s turning 50? LOL I also can’t remember … she wants to go Secret Recipe @ Giant PH so there’s where going later. Now am going to take a snooze…b4 the dinner

Unwellness

Today has been litterally tired all day long for me, down with diarhea, wind, sinus, weak-body. Not really sure if the food at Arena was the caused of it, but according to my Team MGR, is to avoid that place as much as possible.

Oh well … How come Beckz and Yee Lin all survived the food? Stomach made of steel perhaps…
Doh… well I guess I have a weaker tollerance for unhygenic food.

Ok .. tomorrow is Old Town liao for a change! Beckz says I’m driving .. kesian me if I can’t find a parking after that …

Putting an End to Smoking …

Marlboro Cigarettes - Menthol Class A 200

 

About a month ago, the thought of Quitting Smoking is so strong and a must! As time went by, the thought of Quitting slowly subsides. But I still stay strong and continue to have Faith and Courage to slow down. Too many “But” … gotta quit the word “But”

Anyway .. having see the adverts on the cigarette packaging really scares me and the daily thoughts of suffering/enduring the pain is making me worried about my habits.

I’m hoping that my close buddies will be an encouragement to me and also quit alongside with me. Nevertheless expecting someone to quit with you is never an easy task. So I’m making a decision…

Decision:

By or before the end of June 2009, my decision is to entirely STOP / Put an END to Smoking before I get into serious health issues!
There’s nothing more important to me now than QUITTING my 12 year habit!

So whoever you are out there .. be it my friends/close buddies, ex-smokers .. I need your HELP and Guidance!

Cheers

A Good Day!

today … new day with EDS – HP and started out some informal training prior to my on-boarding training with EDS-HP/Shell IT Int’l.

Reported in at 7.00am and found out that I should be reporting in at 9.00am instead! Got a little irritated with the agency .. but accepted the miscommunication and apology from Ms. Lee Chin. Started off by getting to know Ms. Azrina whom has been very caring and sharing her knowledge of EDS, work and the scope to me prior to training. Guided me here and there, it was tough cos I was new to the business process and everything was Greek Language to me .. well not entirely, mainly the structure and the process structure ..

Met Wong Haw Han, a newly appointed Project Manager for Shell Canada. The training conducted by him was good although I already missed quite a bit, but he was very kind and did a 1-1 brief training. However found out that I wasn’t gonna be working  alongside him at SCAN and that  I will be working with Access Management, another division of Shell EDS.

Got my Smart Card today – ok .. everything in Shell uses a Smart Card, access to all Internet, Network, computers etc etc are Smart Card based as Shell has their own Group Infrastructure (GI) Platforms. EDS will be giving me free car-park soon and etc …

Today work ended at 4.00pm but before that .. during lunch break, I was so tired I decided to take 1/2 hour off my lunch break for a much needed rest … slept in the car and then went for lunch… food was easy to get around my workplace and cheap too!

Took the Shell IT Test and scored 100% (passing mark is 60%)

Left at 4.10pm and reached home around 4.30pm.

Going to cook something later .. and probably wash the car if there’s time and if i’m not tired …

today is kinda bad for me as I have been having heartburn since midnight till now …

Later.

A New Day with HP-EDS

Tomorrow will be my first day with a New company – HP EDS at Cyberjaya. Location: need to know basis ..

Well, certainly there’s alot of things to get done and to check with EDS/HP with regards to my work.
I’m certain that everything will go smoothly ..

—

Yesterday and today has been a tired day for me .. probably my mind is thinking of work and subconciously my body reacts to the thought and starts coordinating with my mind to go into hibernation so that I get plenty of rest before I start work .. it has been one hectic week. In and out continously for 1 week…

today went to Klang and couzin’s just got back from Hong Kong, they went 2 fridays ago and came back on Tuesday. A mere 5 day but more like 3 full days minus the travelling time. They had fun .. it was hot and fun .. but I suppose I had even more fun here than in HK ….. wild nights haha

Yesterday went out with KB to some park and just sit and have a Slurpee and chit a chat…got back around 11 plus and hit the sack ..

Today KB came over to my place, partially because he left his stuff with me. We had a goodtime of XBOX Soccer (MAN UTD vs Multiple Teams) we had a goodtime and we scored many many goals … KB had a beer and I had Diet Coke .. we had a couple of smokes and decided it was time to call it a day .. shortly after he left, I intended to take a 30 min nap which ended into an hour nap. called Dad and decided to meet them at Sonia’s Dad’s Restaurant for dinner .. man it was not up to my expectations and seriously the food needs a major make over!

am getting my stuff ready before i hit the sack for a much needed rest … i need to wake up early tomorrow at around 5.45am .. Ho ho i’m glad i’m off at 4pm! it takes approx. 15-20 mins drive to get to work and back home. I hope fridays i can come home for some home cooked lunch or at least some rest if able.

till then ..

An Old Recipe

Last couple of days .. I have been cooking and trying my best to perfecting an old recipe which I used to cook back when I was in high school… the taste still taste the same however the spiciness and flavor doesn’t seem to stay consistent. The color of the dish resulted from the Thick Soya Sauce seems fine, the amount of chili is and has always been the same.

Name of Dish: Black Spicy Chicken

Recipe:

Chicken Preparation – Seasoning ( 15-30 mins – 1 hours)

1 tray of boneless chicken / chicken fillet ( 470 grams) – Dice or in small pieces
2 pinches of Salt and Ground Pepper
4-5 teaspoon of Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon of Cooking Oil (Sunflower)
1-2 teaspoon of Dark Soya Sauce

Put in a chiller

Gravy:

50-100 grams of Mixture Onions and Garlic
1 cup of Blended Grounded Chili (Cili Gilling) – Depending on how much chili you can take in …
1/2 cup of Dark Soya Sauce
4-5 teaspoons of Cooking Oil
pinch of Salt and 3-4 pinches of Grounded Pepper

Cooking Method:

Prepare the chicken by mixing all the ingredients as mentioned above after dicing the chicken, mix the well until the chicken is well covered in the ingredients. Let it rest for approximately 15-30 minutes to an hour

For better results, store in a chiller if available

1. Heat a Medium – Large Pan with oil until hot
2. Put in Onions and Garlic, stir fry until fragrant
3. Salt and Pepper and continue to stir fry for 2-3 mins
4. Pour in Chili (1 cup), stir fry and cook till chili is cooked, flavor is out and mild dryness
5.  After Chili has been cooked, you may add 1 teaspoon of Sugar to decrease the spiciness, then add the Dark Soya Sauce to the chili, stir until all contents are mixed properly.
6. Put in seasoned chicken and stir fry mildly to ensure the chicken is mixed into the gravy
7. Let the contents simmer on low heat (ensure the heat / fire level is low for better taste)
8. Once chicken is cooked, and the contents are dry, turn off heat and dish out the chicken.

9. You may add some other ingredients such as slices of tomatoes, or parsley for added flavoring or just to look good

… You’re done.

The best way to eat this is with White Rice, no Fried Rice or Noodles …

You can also go with White Bread/Buns.

Today will be having an Interview with EDS for the position of Request Management Analyst for Shell Account.

I slept at 3.10am, barely having enough sleep .. woke up at 6.20am to walk the dogs and pheww! am I tired or am I tired?

I sure feel tired … hungry .. tired .. and hungry and super blur.

oh yeah .. my big toe isn’t swelling anymore and I could walk. Thanks to the apples I bought earlier last week and the cherries my dad bought for me yesterday (all of which are natural remedies to uric acid) and thanks to mum’s supply of analgesic tablets for inflammation reducer.

Gonna hit the showers .. Not, but going for breakfast with Dad soon. Maybe Mum’s coming along too. We’re going to have Roti Canai & a glass of Teh Tarik.

T.G.I.F – Blogging at Friday’s Bar

Blogging at TGIF

blogging has never been more fun than to do it at Fridays! TGIF!

came here with K.B to do some blogging and drinking Pepsi Max with Double Chocolate Fudgy Brownies ..
at first i did not expect to have wireless here… but hey wait a minute .. I have a 3G phone and they are suppose to give me wireless internet connection anytime anywhere .. ain’t it  cool?

yea so am here .. blogging away and surfing the web (yea i know i could be at home doing it for the money i pay to P1) .. but where’s the fun in it?

delicious but very sweet Chocolate Fudgy Brownie

Chocolate brownie (above)

The brownie was really nice and “Fudgy” but was very sweet … decided to have the Ice Cream instead since it was made by TGIF and it was the least sweetest product on the dish plate. Overall … Not too bad (except for the sweet part) Now I’m thirsty for another drink (Bar Tender… Diet Coke, please?)

Next .. is to chill down my DC and watch some movies …

Laterz.
