every once in awhile, for no particular reason, something good just happens. And when these good things happen, no matter how small, it's worth taking note.
There are so many times in life that things are at their worse and yet when we stand strong something good comes out of it.

Provocation
Recently that has been some surges that tries to provoke me and my work with mychub. But their efforts were futile. It's not because they didn't try hard enough... but the fact of the matter is, if they have dark intentions and it can never succeed. People nowadays know better... they are more learned.. we have seen them do the same "modus operandi" again and again in the past. They try to sabotage us by copying our work and bad-mouthing our efforts in more sinister ways under the veil of internet anonymity. Posing as some unknown nickname and spreading more lies.
I just realize something too.. that writing is more powefull than the sword itself. My writing would be copied, twisted and spread all over the internet. But's it's still my writings and people would still revert back to the source and that's me.
In short, these people are just afraid. Afraid of losing power.. afraid of losing popularity. Jealous of the success that MyChub had gained over the years.
When people ask me, "What is the secret to MyChub's success over the year". All i could think of is sincerity. If you are sincere in your work, sooner or later... people would see that and appreciate it.
As I was walking along in JB one day, a guy actually stopped me and asked.. are you GemukChub ? and I replied "yes". he continued thanking me because of my work in MyChub, he has met his lover and he is happier now that he has come to terms with himself.
To all the people who had supported mychub, I give my deepest gratitude. Without your endearing support.. we would not achieved this far.
Lots of huggsss.

Chinese New Year 2005 - Headache
"Gadek Hot Spring, Melacca"
Yeah.. this chinese new year holiday was not as good as the year before. I got a splitting headache all due to my giddyness of taking a 7-Eleven Slurpee at 3 AM in the morning. Felt bored and went driving aimlessly.
Slept at 6 AM. Woke-up in the afternoon and still feeling sober. So went out and had a bowl of chicken soup. Felt really better after that. Went to the office to check my mails and messages. Didn't do much programming with this headache still on me.
Went out with a friend on a shopping spree. Bought some stuff which i think i can use later.. or maybe not.
My be I'll just drop by the local "Gadek Hot Spring" for a hot swim. That probably that will cheer me up.
Making up plans to travel to Singapore to meet old friends. Been ages since I got in touch with them.

Penang Trip 2005
Went to Penang for Hari Raya Haji. We started from Melacca at 2pm. Me, Abu & Ben Mashimaro. Stopped by KL and met-up with Hardchub & Ezam. BTW Happy Birthday Ezam. Hardchub was estatic showing his new Lasik Eyes (Lazer Eye Treatment). Maybe I want to get those too. But I like my glasses as well. We all parted at 6.00 pm. The road was jammed up until Tapah. Luckily, i was driving Abu_Chub new Gen-2 car with auto transmission. So it was just a breeze.
Reached Penang at 4.30 am. Imagine driving on a high-way at 3o mph. Anyway, it's good for the car's engine running-in. Abu went back to his mom's house. While me and Ben stayed in Butterworth coz Abu's house was full with family and friends.
Later we met up with Usman for a KFC lunch and then Imran joined us at Usman's house for Hari Raya ketupat & rendang (courtesy of Abu's mom). I was so tired that the day time ended with me sleeping the whole day, while Ben played some games with on PS2. At night we went for some kareoke sessions at bandar Perda. Alimin joined us in the midst of us trying to croon to Mariah Carey "My All". Which was really like a low key a rendition.
The next day the 3 of us went to one of Abu's schoolmate house on Penang Island for a Hari Raya treat. Nasi Briyani Penang style. Got really bloated.. food was good. Later Usman & Alimin joined us at Komtar. We all went to Gurney Plaza for a movie titled "Elektra". Imran went bitching about how bad the movie was, which I couldn't agree more. We all came back to Butterworth at 2.00 am. Had a light dinner cum supper at Subaidah.
The next day woke up really late. Then had some lunch with all of the gang. After which we all went to Penang Megamall for some shopping. Then Alimin brought us to Kulim for a traditional massage. It's a new experience but can't elaborate here.. maybe later. Then went back to sleep.
The final day, went to Bayan Lepas to send Ben back to the airport. Then me and Abu drove to Penang Road to find some souveniers. There had been a massive traffic jam all around the city area. Had lunch at "Line Clear" Restaurant. Arghhh.. still the same.. with motorbikes going through the kitchen and serving food with their raw hands.
Went back to Melacca afterthat. This time the roads were smooth and no traffic jams on the highway. Had a quick bite near Bukit Merah Laketown Resort. All due to Abu had taken a wrong road. Anyway, the food was nice.

Singapore Trip 2004
Came back to Malaysia on the 23rd. Then took my car and drove to Singapore the next day. Celebrated Christmas at Orchard Road. There were thousands of people flocking the streets. Some familar malaysian faces too.
Then off to Tanjong Pagar for dinner and checked-in to a hotel. The air-cond was too cold for my comfort.
The next day we went to Bugis Street to eat. Little did we know that an earthquake had hit Sumatera and a tidal tsunami was hitting asia. We were inside the MRT when it happened and luckily, it didn't felt a thing. Later, i got news that the tremors were felt as far as KL.
In the afternoon, we strolled around Chinatown. I missed the Oishi Genmai Flavour Green Tea in Thailand but there were none in SG.
Things are a bit different in SG as everything was expensive. In my mind, i had kept calculating the currency everytime we bought something. Double the price.
The next day, we were in the MRT to go back to Kranji, a girl puked in the crowded MRT and made a mess on the floor.

Bangkok Trip 2004
Went to Bangkok for my vacation this year. It was really great. Stayed for 1 week. 15th December - 23rd December. There were the 3 of us, Bob Sani, Abu-Chub & me.
We stayed mainly at Malaysia Hotel. But due to the peak tourist season, we had to change hotels 2 - 3 times due to over booked rooms.
The 2nd hotel (Tunmahamek Privacy Hotel) was really the pits. Below the building, protitutes were setting up shop in the room rows below and men on bikes lined up to get their service. The scary part was that were loud noises from the adjacent room where it was being renovated. Minor setbacks really.
Overall, Bangkok is a great place to visit. Here are some photos taken from the trip.
Visited many interesting places like Jatuchak (.. did i spell it right) Market where the prices are dirt cheap, Bought lots of (RM 2 ringgits = 20 bht) necktie. The market is also HUGE. They sell everything under the sun. Local delicacies includes fried bugs, worms and other unindentified thingies. My favorite edible dish is the sweet deserts stuff which was served in cups and it's good. Consisting of bananas, yam and milk. At the pets section there were some weird animals for sale like a baby crocodile.
Went to IChub too. Had our dinner there. Unfortunately, there is a new law in Bangkok which limits entertainment places opened after 1 o'clock. (Bummer!) So after 1 a.m, we all went to Silom for supper and went back to the hotel. Silom is like Chow Kit where hawkers and sellers sells their wares along the roadside. A popular spot is Cafe Society.
Near Silom is the famous Patpong area. Where you can see sex shows. We went into one of the A-Go-Go Boys club where the entry was free but a glass of coke cost RM 20 ringgits. The show was horrible. Guys with huge dicks and pseudo sex acts. We quickly moved to another club featuring muscular men called the Tartawan club. Upon entering, all the staff was lining on stage doing a masturbating act and those who can cum, gets a round of applause. The most shocking was the fucking show, where 2 couples in ski mask was really fucking on stage and then goes down to one table after another around the club asking for tips.
On monday, we went up the Cho-Praya river. saw the royal barge which i was told was made out of 100% gold. Bought some stuff at the floating market. Then some picture session at the riverside temple. And lastly some fish feeding frenzy at the fish farm.
After the boat ride we went to the Grand Palace and the Sanam Luang Park where we feeds the friendly birds. An interesting sight is the stalls. Where they set up picnic style. Sitting on the park and enjoying the afternoon sun.
At night, we went to the Suan Lum Night Bazaar. There were lots of cheap handicraft items to buy and there were live bands performing at the beer garden. It was hip and trendy.
The next day, we went to Mabukom (MBK) equivalent to KL Central Market for breakfat cum dinner and strolled around athe this XXXXXL shop which sells big size shirts . Then we headed to the IT centre and after that walked all the way to the World Plaza. There were also live bands performing at the beer garden.
Lots more to write next time.. huggs

Malas.... segala...malas
Ari ni malas nak buat apa2... maklum lah dah cuti. Lepak kat umah adie jap... baiki komputer dia kena virus. Then gi dobi baju... ader la dekat 3 - 4 kilo. Pastu mengadap DVD kat umah.. sempat la pinjam citer CSI Complete Season 1 ngan Abg Josie.
Abu ader dtg melaka, lepak la ngan dia gi tengok MITC consumer fair. Beli kasut murah RM 30 je. Beli begpack.
Ajak Abu pegi Wisma Persekutuan gi buat passport. Kopak lagi duit RM 300. Pegi bank nak settle credit card. Bla.. bla bla.. bayar bill.. bla bla bla.. cuci mata.
Ari ni tak der idea sangat nak buat. Singgah opis kejap mengadap apa2 yang patut. Lampu kat my private room buat hal.. hmm.. nak kena report kat maintenance. Macam biasa.. abg maintenance lembab buat keja.
Update beberapa issue kat website. Server sumer jalan ok. Pegi survey handphone kat Mahkota Parade. Saja cuci mata.. sementara tunggu Nokia 1 Megapixel terbaru sampai. Ingat nak tengok wayang.. tapi citer macam tak best jer.
Komputer kat rumah kena virus Win32/Hi-Drag. Sesowaiii.. update antivirus dan clean virus. Hmm.. kalu upgrade PC nie pon best gak.. tapi aper lagi nak taruk ? Install Apache /MySQL/ PHP skali.. senang nak develop module untuk mychub kat umah. Ingat nak network kan rumah.. tapi hub boss pinjam plak. Iskk..
My mind goes blank!. Abg Din telepon.. nak pinjam duit RM 2000. Entah apa projek skim cepat kaya dia nak masuk tuh.. Isk tak serik2. Malas nak layan.. so kelentong kat dia kata nak pakai duit bulan ni nak downpayment kereta baru. Heheheh
Besok nak gi KL jap.. nak simpan kereta kat rumah Tija & Shireen. Maybe nak belek komputer Shireen tengok apa2 program bagus boleh copy. Still bertahun-tahun asyik dok pakai Power Builder nak buat programming.. Iskk tak power pon.
Anak senator Gan Boon Leong datang jumpa, ajak tolong jadi secretariat untuk pertandingan angkat-berat kebangsaan kat melaka. Hmm.. best jugak. Dapat jadi locker room boy bon jadi ler.. So aku tolong la promo skali. Hampeh.. persatuan angkat berat malaysia tak der website. Nanti aku kenen kat senator buatkan website untuk dia.
Coach rugby aku ajak gi Bangkok. Ok jugak.. leh tengok team kat sana main camana. Dah lama aku tak main.. bole lagi ke? Team old-boys pon lagi banyak menketedarah dari turun padang.. sumer dah jadi boroi-boroi belaka. 5 minit main.. pastu 1 jam lepak tepi padang isap rokok.
Semalam krem molot. Silap tido kot.. atau gigi problem. Nak gi klinik gigi nie phobia sikit. Doktor dah berpuluh kali suruh cabut gigi geraham. Tak moh la.. kang hilang seri plak.. ahax.
N/B:
1) buat research pasal DBpear:: function.
2) buat research pasal Linux - Smoothwall terbaru
3) buat research pasal OpenBiblio / Koha / phpMyLibrary

Holiday at last...
Today is the start of my 1 month sabatical leave. During last week I was frantically doing a lot of programming. Apart of a few new modules for MyChub, I'm also doing a database application. Working with 2 sets of different language, VB & PHP is very tiring.. mentally of course. My mind kept going back and forth to do 2 things at once. Plus, the pressure and dateline... No sweat for a specialist like me.. LOL
On a company dinner, I've won the grand prize lucky draw - a diamond & gold bracelet worth RM 500. This is the 1st time I won anything expensive. I'm keeping this for a special someone.. hehehe.
One suprising note, I've got my google check in, so that's an extra bonus this month.
During the weekend, I went to MITC coz there is a Trade Show. Found a booth that sells some cool XXXL T-shirt at only RM 10. Bought a couple of "dual" shirts which can be worn inside and out, 2 shirt for the price of one. Very nice...
Also saw SidiBear and his chubby wife at the trade show, later we all went to Big Bro Josie's house to see his new born baby. Little Fiedel Castro. Hahha.. so cute lah . Luckily, the raya spirit was still in the air. (and a few raya kuih) Also saw little bro Juan.. he has gotten slimmer.. uwaahh!!.. i wish he stayed chub.. coz he looks better that way. Dato' and Datin was also around... luckily they were busy with the baby and let us talk in peace.

Post Raya Work & More Work
Well.. i finally got the database working. Now idling around with nothing to do. Got one more week before my long holiday and I need to finish off whatever I need to do before that. Somehow or rather I'm not in the zest to do anything today.
Went back home and cook for lunch. Curry chicken, some prawns and a bit of rice. Filling but I think i added in too much oil and grease. Now bloated and kinda lazy. Hauled myself back to the office for more idle stuff and killing time until my next paycheck arrives.
Did a little bit of research on the latest java programming development. I can do a lot with Java but PHP is the "in-thing" nowadays. Not many hosting supports java and those that do cost a hefty sum. Need an idea on how to generate a search module for mychub. But I'll put that on hold until next week, when a new team of web developers volunteer comes in.
Dabbled abit with the Xeon server and updated some patches. Did a bit of hack on the 2003 terminal server. I hate windows.. but my vendor swears that thats the way to go. If I'd go my way, I would change it to linux and stick to it. Updated my personal Blade Red Hat server to the latest patch and upgraded the webmin module to version 1.70.
Then read some online new at tomshardware.com. Nothing much to catch there, a new article on how to make a cheap XGA projector. Maybe I would try one of those.. have a couple of old laptops that needs to be thrown away. Salvage the LCD screen and hook it up to a projector.
Tinkered abit with MsSQL 8, personally I prefer Oracle 9i better. No comprimise! Whatever MS puts under the hood just makes the server crawls. The microsoft way... hehehe.
So that's all for today... maybe tomorrow I have more exciting stuff to write.
