Clearing up my desk...

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Curry Chicken Rice / Pearl Milk Tea

Just now, I figure it's the last straw - my desk's too messy for its own good and I had to clear up. Even as I have felt "the change of tide" in the company, I think I need some tidying up and also to clear up unnecessary stuff on the desk.

Well, it seems that some memories of the past are hidden somewhere, and I just have to bring it home tonight and keep it somewhere, or possibly throw them away - I have not made a decision about that. One of the items happen to be New Year cards that Cellie sent me 2 years back - when I was leaving them on the partition wall I felt a bit funny, and as I was thinking of removing it, I knew why - cos her current boyfriend is actually sitting right behind me. Felt kinda weird to leave those things around so I decided to bring them down.

Which comes to the topic of the Cellie incident happened a few months back that caused quite a bit of problems between my dear and I. Of course, many onlookers might've felt it's my fault for planning such a thing, but I always think I should be given benefit of a doubt (yeah right, ppl said). I wouldn't want to elaborate much since it's a forgone thing, but the aftertaste felt familiar - it felt so much like the Brad-Cellie incident the last time where she said she is not ready for a relationship and soon after she got together with Brad. This time round, she told me on the last 2 days before the trip she is unable to make it for the weekend due to family issues and kind of canceled the entire trip (cos I was pretty tired over the whole thing and told her to cancel it if it gets too draggy). Ok fine, we canceled it without a second thought of postponing (in fact, it was postponed earlier because Alicia wasn't able to make it - in fact, this trip was to get Cellie to know Alicia) and soon after, I got to know that both Gabriel (her current bf which that point of time I didn't know of their relationship) and her went to the same area the following week.

That was a bad aftertaste, it smacked me right in the face. If she told me right in the face there were some concerns from her other half (well no one really knew of their r/s), even though it can be given a benefit of doubt that this wasn't truly the reason (but I pretty certain more or less that it is a contributing factor), then to be fair, yeah fine, I understand - no normal guy can stand the gf going on a journey up north with another guy...and of course, this reason was the exact reason why my dear and I had a quarrel over about. Anyway, it was a real smack on face I was "rejected" on one weekend and she disappeared over the next weekend to the same place...which I pondered deep - did she even appreciate the fact I tried to arrange to meet up a KL friend for her so that her KL trips up north wouldn't be that bored? Then again - this is a no-brainer concern anymore since she has her lovely boyfriend now.

The past is past, I don't even think of repeating a similar feat which is so damn stupid. Whichever reasons of anyone who thinks of whatever thoughts I had at that point of time, and whether my views were legitimate, I have already rest my case and moved on. After this post, I will strive to make this incident a REAL PAST just like how I did for the Brad-Cellie incident. It's so often after I blogged about it that I decided to move on from the issue.

Still felt stupid, I should have just gone up to meet Alicia by myself...haha. So by now I've cleared my desk, and also cleared my thoughts - on forward with my Dear! :)

Cascada - Evacuate the Dancefloor!

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine, a bit tired, headache

[CuRRent Song:] Cascada - Evacuate the Dancefloor

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Fish + Rice / Water



Cascada - Evacuate the Dancefloor

Turn up the music
Let's get out on the floor
I'll let it move it
Come and give me some more
Watch me getting physical and out of control
There's people watching me
I never miss a beat

Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cos it's pulling you in
Wrap it up
Can't stop cos it feels like a overdose
(Feels like an overdose)

Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ let the music take me underground

(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ come burn this place right down to the ground

My body's aching
System overload
Temperature's rising
I'm about to explode
Watch me I'm intoxicated
Taking the show
It got me hypnotized
Everybody step aside

Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cos it's pulling you in
Wrap it up
Can't stop cos it feels like a overdose
(Feels like an overdose)

Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ let the music take me underground

(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ come burn this place right down to the ground

Come on and evacuate
Feel the clubbers heating up
Move on and accelerate
Push it to the top
Come on and evacuate
Feel the clubbers heating up
Move on and accelerate
You don't have to be afraid

Now guess who's back with a brand new track
That got everybody in the club going mad
So everybody in the back get your back up on the wall
And just shake that thang
Go crazy, yo lady, yo baby
Let me see you work that thing
Now drop it down low, low
Let me see you take it to the dancefloor, yo

(Everybody in the club!)
Evacuate the dancefloor
(Everybody in the club!)
I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ let the music take me underground

Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ let the music take me underground

(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ come burn this place right down to the ground

The evolution of Fail (or "phail")

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine, headache

[CuRRent Song:] Don't know

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Mixed Vege Rice (actually its a mint-chocolate sweet now) / Water

How the word "fail", from a verb to interjection, adjective...the list goes on.

How Fail Went From Verb to Interjection

.LuKe.

From Mr. Chang, the Msia blogger

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Mushroom Swiss Meal / Pearl Milk Tea

This is yet again from Alicia's bro...another "woman thing"...maybe you ppl had heard/read before but oh well...

9 Words Common to Women

1. Fine

This is the word women use to end an argument when they think they are right no matter what and you need to shut up.

2. Five minutes

If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour to one hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if she tells you that you have been given five more minutes to watch the football game before getting your sorry ass up from the couch to help around the house.

3. Nothing

This is the calm before the storm. This means something and you should be on your toes, and you're almost considered fucked. Keep asking until she gives you a different reply other than "nothing". If you do not continue asking, you're fucked as well.

Arguments that begins with nothing usually ends in fine.

(Refer back to #1 for the meaning of fine)

4. Go ahead

This is a dare, not persmission. Don't do it or you're fucked.

5. Loud sigh

This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you're an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing.

(Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing)

6. That's OK

This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's OK means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

So it's NOT OK.

7. Thanks

When a women is thanking you, do not question or faint. Just say "You're welcome". Unless she says "Thanks a lot" - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say "you're welcome" because that will bring on a "whatever".

(Refer to to #8 for the meaning of whatever)

8. Whatever

It is a women's way of saying "Screw you".

9. Don't worry about it, I got it

Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a women has told a man to do several times but she's now doing it hreself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" and to be greeted with a "nothing".

Then, you're fucked.

(Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing)

SUNNY


Lyrics:

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.
You gave to me your all and all.
Now I feel ten feet tall.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from a to c.
My life was torn like a windblown sand,
And the rock was formed when you held my hand.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny

Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face.
Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows it's grace.
You're my spark of nature's fire,
You're my sweet complete desire.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] As per previous entry

It's yet another Retro time, starting with...

SEPTEMBER!



Lyrics:

Do you remember the 21st night of september?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now december found the love that we shared in september.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days


LET'S GROOVE



Lyrics:

Let this groove, get you to move,
it's alright, alright
let this groove, set in your shoes,
stand up, alright

Gonna tell you what you can do,
with my love, alright
Let you know girl you're looking good
you're out of sight and alright

Move yourself and glide like a 747
loos yourself in the sky among the clouds in the heavens

Let this groove, light up your fuse, alright
Let this groove, set in your shoes

stand up, alright
Let me tell you what you can do
with my love, alright

Gotta let you know girl you're looking good
you're out of sight, you're alright

Tell the DJ to play your favorite tune
then you know it's okay
What you found is happiness, now

Let this groove, get you to move, alright
Let this groove set in your shoes
stand up, alright

You will find peace of mind on the floor
Take a little time, come and see, you and me
make a little sign, I'll be there after a while
if you want my love

We can boogie on down, down, down, down
Let's groove tonight
share the spice of life
baby slice it right
we're gonna groove tonight

BOOGIE WONDERLAND



Lyrics:

Dance boogie wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts,
Of men who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand,
To a woman that has laid to many bets

The mirror stares you in the face and says
Baby, uh uh it dont work
You say your prayers through you dont care
You dance and shake the hurt
Dance boogie wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland

Sound fly through the night
I chase my vinyl drams to boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland

All the love in the world cant be gone
All the need to be loved cant be wrong
All the records are playing
And my heart keeps saying
Boogie wonderland, wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland

All the love in the world cant be gone
All the need to be loved cant be wrong
All the records are playing
And my heart keeps saying
Boogie wonderland, wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland

With the arrival of the new Maple patch, hackshield screwed up the progress we had in Virtualbox and the virtual machines. It seems that now it gives funny errors that I have no solution for now.

Of course, dismissing the issues, my KoC character is already level 31 :) and slowly becoming stronger :) haha

Suddenly I realised I have lots to read. Haha.
