Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me… August 28, 2007

Yes…it’s that time of the year where I celebrate my birthday which happens to be today. I feel a year older and not necessarily a year wiser. Me wife bought me a birthday cake, specifically a banana cream cake from Secret Recipe chain of restaurants. My daughter, Ee Ee was so kind to me today and gave me a big hug,which by the way she rarely does, because all she wanted is to cut the cake and eat it.
Other than my birthday, Wei Han has been able to climb up without any of us to help do so. Quite a feat for this lad I must say. He is getting better at it as each day passes by and I for one is extremely happy about it. I just hope that I will be there to witness his first steps. Now that will be sight to behold. Also Ee Ee has been perfecting her hoo-la-hooping skills and she’s getting better all the time.
So I, well me wife managed to take some photographs of me, Ee Ee and Wei Han celebrating my 37th birthday. Hope you all like it.

(Me about to blow out the candle, but as usual Ee Ee beat me to it)
(and as usual, Ee Ee wants to help cut the cake…)
(yum-yum…the cake and this time, without Ee Ee helping to eat it for me)
(And..finally a photo of me with Wei Han who didn’t inherit much facial features from me. Looks more like Mommy don’t you think so?)
(Wei Han learning how to stand on his own…well with some help of course)
(This is how he does it)

These were the three words shouted proudly by Malaysia’s 1st prime Minister, the late Tuanku Abdul Rahman proclaiming our independence from the British.
On 31st August 2007, Malaysia will be exactly 50 years old. So far we’ve been through the thick and the thin and will keep on moving forward.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish my fellow Malaysians, where ever you are, a
‘SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI KEMERDEKAAN KE 50′
It’s time to move on… August 23, 2007

Well it’s finally time for me to move on in my career. After months of searching for a job, I finally landed a job position which has a better pay package, closer to my home and most of all offer fresh new challenges and not to mention the huge amount of responsibility waited on my shoulders.
I am a bit scared about the new job. Scared because its something which I am currently doing but on a much bigger scale. But I guess I have to try my utmost best to deliver the goods right the first time, on time.
I am some sort on a ‘gardening leave’ now. In fact my ex-employer told me to leave about 3 weeks ahead of my scheduled last day at work which was on the 14th of September. So today was my last day. I guess my ex-employer didn’t really need me anymore. I felt a bit strange as I felt there was still some loose ends to tie up. But I guess they felt it wasn’t necessary and so requested me to pack up my stuff and do the proper hand-over to an outsourced vendor company.
The extra week off is what I really need as it will allow me to reflect on what I had done and what I should have done better at my previous job. I always believe that the projects which I have proposed and implemented could be further improve upon, but it wasn’t meant to be as a certain director of the company decided to give me the ‘boot’.
Personally, I wasn’t too happy at the way I was ‘booted’ out. It left a bad taste in my mouth. In all my 15 years of working life, never had I felt so disgusted at the way I was treated. I never had the chance to say my good byes to my office colleagues which are the most cooperative bunch of people I have had the pleasure of working with. OK, some of them were a pain in the ass but hey, you can’t please everyone can you ? This particular director even had the audacity to tell me off by claiming he could have done this and that better. Oh well, I couldn’t give a rat’s ass anymore and if he can claim that he could do this and that better than me, then may god bless him.
In the meanwhile, I will sit back and relax and watch the world go by until I start my new job which hopefully I will succeed in delivering what they have employed me for.
A portrait of my family August 13, 2007

After countless tries, I’ve finally managed to take a portrait of my kids with mum in it. It isn’t easy when you have a hyper-active 3 year old toddler like Ee Ee, and a 8 month old child like Wei Han.
As for the background of this portrait, well I couldn’t find a suitable location other than my house.

Well sort of. Ee Ee has of late has been bugging us to buy CD’s of the Ultraman cartoon series for her to watch. I guess she has been ‘brainwashed’ from her preschool mates especially the guys about Ultraman.

This is a very funny TV commercial I must say. It’s about two young F1 drivers from the same team competing with each other on almost anything.
I guess this would be the last time Lewis and Fernando actually talking to each other before the Hungary GP 2007.
