Unemployed...

It's been four days since I left my company and it has been great. I've got enough rest for myself, I've not been having many things on my back, my burden has eased up a lot, no more unpredictable headaches that I've been suffering from. *chill-ness and two thumbs up*

So what have I been up too? Pretty much chilling and planning stuff for myself.

Sunday, 21st June: Random Seafood Dinner

Located somewhere in Klang (not sure where), a friend just drove me there and couldn't really remember the drive there due to some intoxicated reason.

The path that lead us into the place of.... food. If you have that same "What the?" look, well, being there was just... weird. Felt like i was going to some black market seafood restaurant. o_O.

Not so dodgy after all huh? The sign of relief! Guess I won't be seeing much weird stuff on my plate... *imagination*... two head catfish, crab and prwan hybrid, talking squids....*end of imagination*

Temple on my left and the sea view right in front of me. I think there's this port in front.

The feast... 1 kg of Kam Heong Crabs, Butter Prawns, Steam La-la, and Claypot Taufu. Not the best pic taken due to the same intoxicated reason. Probably the took me the longest time to peel crabs too -_-

The aftermath and our dessert... well... sort off. It just hit us that we did not have Fried Sotong. I mean seriously lor... no fried sotong in a seafood restaurant. Where can?????? Had two plates though :)

Bill came pretty alright, it was only RM91 for what we had. We were stuffed. Sat down to chill while sipping on our tea. Simple yet satisfying indeed.

Wednesday, 24 June: splatspit has left the building!

Trying very hard to give my water tumbler away while I was packing up my desk. Come on, I won't be using it anytime soon. Thought someone could just inherit it. Not gross what? Probably saliva stains and some funky smell... can wash mar!

Dinner with the original team before it expanded. Taken at Fish & Co. 1Utama. Told Karen that it was better than Manhattan Fish Market. I still find the food better, it was juicier and less dry compared to MFM. Having a someone using a blow torch thingy on my Seafood Platter in MFM.... I'm like.... is that actually safe to consume? o_O I admit it was kinda nice in a way seeing fire being shot at my food but... seriously the slight smell of gas after that kinda put me off.

Saturday, 27 June : Jame's Wedding & Karen's Gathering

Congratulations to Chee Yeow! I still find it weird having to use James since I knew you as Chee Yeow. High school names are meant to stay with high school friends! All the best to you and your wife. I foresee a music kid when you start a family.

Had to leave before the dessert cause there was another gathering going on. My dear adopted sister who's my ex-colleague decided to throw me a pre-birthday party as well. Felt kinda bad since I was actually... er... late cause of the wedding. Anyhow, THANK YOU! :)

(peace yo Japanese style)

(ponders of ponders)

.... and now... the HeadHunter series of pictures... it is... like... AWESOME...

... and some other random pictures during the gathering...

I'm finally done with this post. I've got loads of pictures that are not even here. Since I've got a camera I bought earlier this month (thanks to the late uncle lim's casino). I'm gonna make a point to take more photos... wooohooo! Hmmm... something is tempting me to get a iPod Nano as well. I'm gonna be a year older tomorrow as well. NOT COOL! At least it has been a very eventful week for me...

Will Power Vs. Temptation

What do you when you come across something that brings back a lot of childhood memories? Something that you grew up with, something you could never afford back in the days, something that brought back two nostalgic memories instead one.... YOU FREAKIN' BUY IT!

I was eyeing at it for quite some time now, since I was in Singapore for Cityscape Asia. Letz me yintroduce.... "Mickey Mouse Optimus Prime Transformers"....

(how to resist you tell me?)

(optimus before and after being disney-f'king-fied)

(mickey mouse INSIDE & OUTSIDE)

All I wanna say is, Takara ROCKS!.... M-I-C.... K-E-Y.....P-R-I-M-E..... Mickey Prime! Wooohooo! Next... Nissan GTR Optimus Prime. The hunt begins because... it's all SOLD OUT! *sigh*

After 1 Long Lengthy Year...

www.splatspit.com

is BACK....

People who occasionally come back to see if this page is still alive... I'm surprised that you DO actually check. Good news is.... the blogging is gonna start.... again! Seriously! For real! No Joke!

Why? When? How? What? I've resigned from my full time job stated in my previous post. Can't believe that post was a year ago. My last day would be on the 24th of this month. I'm gonna start a whole new friggin' adventure... again. Life's to short for one permanent job aye?

I'm glad that my blogger account is still active, my archives are intact, my pictures are still around.... somewhere. I've got a new camera, which I hope, wish, think, will make this new whole blogging experience a delightful one.... again.

Wordpress is kinda difficult to handle. Been wanted to change my layout in there but there was way too much coding in there. I hope it'll be easier on Blogger. I miss the simple single line HTML tags that just make things work.

I'm of to the bed now and since I've got the blogger back up, expect some unnecessary ranting from me soon!

Cheers! 

Confirmed...

I've got a new job! Starting next month 2nd of June. Sound stuff I'm gonna put aside.. Been to a couple of other interviews, this is the best so far... the sort of work that I would enjoy doing. Friends were happy with my new job offer... most congratulated me and asked me what is it all about... Getting to know what I've been doing so far... Even if I was struggling as a freelancer but I manage to learn a lot from that experience and got to meet new people who were willing to offer me more jobs. Kinda disappointed when I was talking to friend A bout my new job and telling him I'm starting full time, while friend A was happy and congratulated me on the job... friend B didn't even asked anything about my new job or what I've been doing, he just butted in by saying "Finally...." the ONLY one that gave me that response... Not sure what friend B was trying to imply but I'll definitely remember this incident for sure...

Will be in singapore this month... for a short holiday maybe... and also to do a show...

It's been good so far and I'm happy.. :)

More, more, moree work?....

April Weather Report...

Everything seems to be going according to the weather...

Dad has been biting because...
.. of my mom's car :
- got the busted radiator fan fixed. Got back late that night I heard the fan running and I've got my key's with me. Went in the house laughed and told my dad that the radiator fan doesn't turn off. He barked at me "Why didn't you check before you leave the mechanic?" I'm like... wat the? I just noticed because it was quiet, as if i could hear it in the day when it's so noisy outside. Even my mechanic got a shock and I got blamed.

.. I didn't pick up my moms car after sending it back :
- it was raining heavily the whole afternoon. No one called me. Usually the mechanic calls my dad when the car's ready. I got barked at again. "Why didn't u pick up the car?!". I said it was raining heavily, then again how am I suppose to pick up the car when there car's there? He said this after I replied "Why didn't you call him?!" I'm like... I don't have his number and he always alias with you. Why is it my fault again? The mechanic picked me up after that and he was explaining that he was out and the bad weather. I told him I understand.. I said to myself.. my dad doesn't..

Mom's paranoid with car has been asking me over and over again, I keep telling her it's fine.. don't worry I'll gett it fixed.. just use the other car first and even then she's paranoid with the other car... I said it's fine and she keeps questioning me again and again about the car. I can't answer everything especially when I told you I'm going to send it to the mechanic... chill la... It's really getting to me...

Someone who I always laughed with, throwing jokes at each other suddenly became serious this week. I'm even afraid to joke or tease, I don't even know what to say now. I'm just keeping quiet. Another one just messaged me online out of the blue after an incident and I don't even know what to say, I left the disappointed part aside about a year ago because you proved couple of things to me already, so now I'm just speechless. Just remember that I was there for your ups and downs. That's good enough for me.

Stop picking on me. I'm not a punching bag. I'm not even fighting back. I'm not even saying anything cause I don't wanna spark any misunderstanding. Please ask YOURSELVES what's going on first before approaching me. Really buta-buta kena this month. Dah already insomnia problem getting from bad to worst, fever coming and going, sore throat building up (had korean BBQ tonight though heheh :P)..... *sigh*

*stretch....* blogging and music... best therapy to chill :D

Coming Soon...

It's 7 a.m... I'm still awake as usual... Been spending the whole day designing my new site... for my work and my blog... best part... after so many layouts... i finally truly found the one that i really... really like...

good buy blogger template... welcome Flash site / wordpress site... will be up this weekend? since my drive for doing it full on, i might as well get it done ASAP...

*groggy*

New Hobby...

Been having so many ideas to do so many things... I can't get through a day without doing something. The drive has been great, it's been keeping me on my toes for the past few weeks... the hunger to do something to work. I haven't been getting enough sleep yet I'm still having a burst of energy to work at least on something. My dreams have become weirder, to a point that if an actual event happens and I dream of a follow up, I can easily mistaken it for something that has happen. Scarry? No shit... but it's all good...

So... what next? Next week I'll be heading down to KL, with my dad's SLR. Gonna try using it SINCE it's there. Nope, the new hobby is not taking up photography but I would need some decent pictures for my art work... We'll see what happens then. Sleeping at 6 - 7 everyday and waking up at 2pm is not healthy but I just can't sleep.

Anyone who's interested in POLE dancing classes? www.vivavertical.com I'm doing the design/web for them. :)

More work?...

Sure!...

Keep bringing in the work! I'm on a roll! Finalizing one website. Still waiting for my friggin' namecard that's taking TOO long. Ear's a bit ringing now. Just got back from Laundry for the Juke Joint Jupiter - Third Time Lucky. Needed to get out after staring at the computer doing work for awhile. Had more discussions with Momo bout our plans. Looking good. Let's see what have I done so far and what's coming up...

03/03 - Boh Cameronian Nominees party (Alexis Garden)

Supplied and did sound for Zalina and her crew. That woman cracks me up. Got some, "Hey, you look familiar.." Not much during the event, Zalina and her crew did ONE song and that was it! Met some people during the event that I haven't seen in ages. Been missing out on the local seen a bit... I've been quiet... I still like having my usual day at MV with my cup of coffee alone.. :)


09/03 - Sound for One Buck Short

Day before was soundcheck, was halfway watching the election results. On the day itself was pretty much fun, dealing with bad indoor acoustics as usual but was manageable. First time using CODA AUDIO (not sure which model), a bit to bright for my liking. Didn't have enough low mid's. Would be nice for a nice chill out swing jazz band though. They played 3 songs and it was for the Sunburst music festival promo. Still not sure if I'm going for the show. :\

14/3 - Sedaya College

Which is TODAY! Probably sitting in for one of their rehearsals. It's for a some show. Not to sure, well more like forgot a bout the details. Needed to do sound for this huge fusion big band performance. Gonna be quite interesting. Not sure when's the actual show though but we'll see how it goes. Might be doing sound for them, thanks to Adil.

15/3 - Sunburst Music Festival

ARGGGGGGHHHHHH! TO GO OR NOT TO GO!? Reason to go : Go and see how's it loh. ReasonS not to go : Bad weather, traffic, crowd, people, jam, pushing... i got a slight claustrophobic problem.

21/3 - There's something, but I can't remember.. :(

22/3 - Might have a wedding show to do

So far that's it, I think. Back to finalizing my clients website. Don't ask me why but I just feel like having a nice glass of Guinness Stout :)
