while driving to work this morning, as usual listening to the radio... listening to the voices plus the jokes of the three deejays and the songs they chose to play.... and then they happily announced their studio's guest.... guess who???.... while the US has jonas and hanson, we have our own trio brothers... kru....
and of course, the session was full of their songs... not so sure how many of their songs were actually played, since I reached office after the second song.. listening to their music took me back to the time while I was studying... and being a fan... not a 'fanatik' one, I think...!!!
I used to have their posters on my study table, with their lyrics too of course.... and I was once advised by a 'tudung labuh senior' who came to our room to invite us to join the weekly 'usrah session' at the hostel musolla.... and yes, that became a sub-topic mentioned in the usrah... no real name mentioned though...!!! the main point here is... i joined the usrah okay..!!!! hihihi....
and this morning while listening to the songs and shouting out loud with the lyrics alone in the car, I started to count how many years back was that....
and yes.... that was fifteen years back...... am I already this old...????
the truth hurts....

What would you do....
What would you do.... when you see your idol on the cover page of a magazine you found on the shelf while you were wandering about the restaurant waiting for your meal...???
Tun M.... it would have been hard for me not to remove the magazine from the shelf to be brought back with me to the table... and while sipping my drink (it was ice-blended mocha that day), the eyes and mind busily digesting the interview the author had with Tun... lucky him....
who would still be going to office at 9 in the morning despite being 80 years plus..???
who would still be interested to read and read more and more books at that age..???
who would still be busy traveling here and there, giving his speeches at this age...???
and who will have his biography coming out next year???
reading the answers to the questions thrown to him will surely make you think...
when ask why he chose east when the rest favored west... his answer... people of east (korean and chinese) were busily struggling to build up their nations after the war, while in the west people were busy demonstrating.... which to him is a waste of time.... no wonder he ban the industry from having a union..!!! and more from the interview.... kl lifestyle, january 2011... author - gary thanasan, the one used to be the host of 'BINGO'....
and in another article from another magazine i read at the same place.... the author mentioned of how he only knew one prime minister from schooling till graduated... i guess he should come from my era.... and according to him, current generation are more lucky as they've known more PMs.... really??? i doubt that...!!! would you like having to memorize many PMs names for your History subject????... not me....!!!!

What a day....
After six days of not working... workday is here again.... monday blue...
Have a list of things to do today... called two persons whom i badly need some updates... just to be told that one is on leave and the other would be late to office....
And yes... the list includes another audit... why must audit be everywhere????
I thought I left all the audits when I left QA department.... how wrong I am...
Reminded me of all the acting in front of customer at solectron... of course, the script was prepared much much earlier... and with good acting and actors... hahaha.... not bad there...!!!
In RB, no script required.... customer can just be on the floor for 10 minutes and surely can see all the flaws.... when there was so much and so clear why must we try to show otherwise...??? so, just let it be... and struggle later to respond to the audit findings.... my task, too hard to complete...

Bunny Year....
I got my first ang pau yesterday.... thank u hwa hwa.... for giving us a reason to meet and gossiping.... and for the pizzas....
It was nice meeting the three of them... hwa hwa, kak aida and ka cua.... and so much of hokkien in an afternoon.... for even kak aida was very fluent with hokkien.... leaving me to be the only one asking for translation... so much laughing that we didn't realize we have been talking for 3 hours straight...
It has been quite some time after our last gathering.... with ka cua now working in shah alam... glad to hear that he plan to come back to penang later.... busily looking for a house in penang to buy... hihihi...
Of course, the conversation was about all those we knew from RB... who has left the company.... who was offered vrr.... who will be going to portugal soon, for a business trip, definitely more than 2 week... who is favored and thus still pampered.... who not in favor to be confirmed.... and who just got married to the turki-muslim guy and will soon move to germany.... and more and more.... and the fun we used to have in the office...
The next gathering..... will have to wait until ka cua comes back again from shah alam....

An epiode of NCIS..
I got a chance to watch a full episode of NCIS (I forgotten from which season this one was...) this morning.... an interesting episode... of gibbs and his comrades solving their case... again....
What caught my attention was some words and phrases from this episode which are among those usually use by a friend of mine.... a blogger.... with vast vocabs and great writings...
Being a good samaritan..... conundrum.... and a phrase he recently used in his entry..... unsung hero.....
I wonder where he got his ideas with these phrases...... !!!
