A Little Something To Darling Debs

I'm a little bored so I decided to leave this in Darling Debs multiply site...

How her eyes glitter with the stars in the sky, and how her smile shines with what little light the moon gives. How she grows more beautiful as the days go by, and how she matures into the most incredible person with each passing moment. Simply wonderful... My darling, my sister, my friend.

Through years that come
And those that past
Our bond will remain
And is sure to last

Through the heartaches
And troubled times
With the wonderful memories
Along with my silly rhymes

Through out the years
Both near and far apart
We've been best of friends
And you'll always have a place...

In the garden of my heart.


A Friend Loves At All Times.

Have a great 2006 darling!

Happy CNY Folks!

Seeing as things just keep getting better and better after an awesome time working in Langkawi, Chinese New Year around the corner and the English FA finally deciding that Sven-Goran Eriksson is total rubbish...

I'm just going to wish you people who actually read this nonsense I write...

A Very Happy And Prosperous Chinese New Year! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

Back From Langkawi.

Just got back from Langkawi like 30 mins ago. The trip was pretty excellent for me despite the fact I was there on work.

3 days of shooting in the sun really takes it's toll when you forget to bring along sun tan lotion.

Working with production was an awesome experience for me.

Met loads of people.

Bought a few gifts for friends.

Bought a lot of stuff for myself.

Got the phone numbers of 2 girls.

Maybe I'll go into more detail of what happened in Langkawi, maybe I won't. It was fun while it lasted, but it's also good to be back!

Tim vs Joyce.

Fairy Joyce called me up for lunch today. Seeing as I was allowed to go in late today because my director and producer had a meeting to attend in the morning, I gladly accepted the invitation.

I teased the silly fairy about how awesome it was to be having lunch with a *celebrity blogger* and all I got for a reply was 'Don't be stupid!' The lady is modest I tell you'll.

Round 1.
Both of us kept insisting that we'd pay for the other persons lunch and a lil debate followed which never really concluded. Her reason was that she called me up and so she was entitled to buy me lunch. Mine was that since it was the first time that we'd actually had lunch, there was no way I'd let the lady pay. Eventually we dropped the topic and proceeded with a more constructive conversation.

Tim 0 Joyce 0 - Draw!

Round 2.
After lunch she went to use the restroom and yea, I called for the bill... paid... and then sat there smiling cheekily and told her that lunch was paid for when she got back. For that, she said I was damn sneaky. I replied with even if she was here, there was no way she'd get to buy me lunch. She asked why, and I told her all I have to do is say to the waiter 'You're not going to let the lady pay are you?' Then she decided that she was beat and thanked me.

Tim 1 Joyce 0 - Tim takes the lead!

In one part of our conversation I asked her why put my name in her phone and blog as TimmyTimTim? She said that there was another Tim in her phone already and she just came up with that nickname at that time. And that there would be no chance of me getting her to change it. I told her from being gangsta like and macho I have been reduced to 'sounding cute' by her... and she just sat there laughing.

Tim 1 Joyce 1 - Joyce makes a comeback!

Final score - Tim 1 Joyce 1 It's a draw!

Till our next lunch appointment!!!

Lil Update.

Just what I needed, the schedule for my production shoot has been pushed back and that means I'll be able to attend my CNY dinner. But that also means that I'll be involved with the production side of the network a lot longer than anticipated.

Darling Debbie's trip to Rome has been changed to Barcelona. This means no Neri Per Caso CD's and no Colosseum pictures. Boo!

I can't seem to wait for Feb to arrive. I'm guessing a 10 day festive holiday since I'm in a chinaman company and Labor Day is around that time as well.

Meatspinner Lousy Louis will be leaving this Thurs to head back to sunny California. Bah...

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me.

So as the sound of drilling escalates to unbearable levels in the office, I find myself half deaf and pleasantly surprisedto be without a lot of work for the first time this month, which is good of course.

Sometimes it baffles me how some people can be such total idiots in an industry where you are supposed to be creative and expressive. Granted that we do have our restrictions, but there are holes in the system that at least allows us to portray something similar one way or another.

My current project involves me targeting the Japan and Korea markets and portraying Malaysia as 'THE' place to be. So I figure I'd get the talents to dress trendy, look good, and at least look presentable... at the very least. BUT... some idiots decide that they'd stereotype instead and dress them up like how tourist would dress in the 50's or 60's. You know... really tight short shorts, long socks, big backpack, canteen, thick framed glasses... Come on.

No one wants to go on holiday looking like an idiot. They want to think and know that if they visit somewhere they are going to and want to look fashionable, good and not like some 50's school kid with the super flat side parting. At the very least make them look normal not like some geek who still sleeps with his teddy bear and sucks his thumb and probably wets his bed.

Some people I tell you...

January...

When you have to go to work on a public holiday (yesterday) you know your social life has almost been reduced to zero. It doesn't help that my boss has the organisation skill of a 10 year old and allowed contractors to renovate the bloody office today when we have an important presentation to prepare before 2pm. It's not that hard to ask them to come in on Friday and Saturday when we would have finished the presentation and won't be bothered as much by the sound of drills and hammering.

Honestly the noise level and the working condition at the moment makes going to an opera to watch a fat man in tights sing sound like fun. Bad enough that for the month of January I will be extremely busy with work, will have to miss my family's Chinese New Year dinner because of work and when I do finish everything by end of the month, I shall be required to stay in my PJ house again to take care of the dog because mom will be heading to USA for 2 weeks. Which brings me to my next rant...

I do not get it, really I don't. Can anyone please tell me the point of getting a dog when most of the time you get other people to take care of them. When I finally have a decent holiday period to enjoy, I have to take care of my mom's dog. On top of that she's lending her car to my stepdad's sister while they are down from the states which leaves me shit out of luck on transport. So public transport it is if I want to go out. OH! I have to find my own food as well, andif I do go out I have to return in the evening to feed the dog. So i figure I have 2 options, suffer with travel expenses for the week or I could live like a hermit in which I will STILL have to go out to buy food which is at least a 20 minute walk to the food outlets. I'm sure you folks know that walking in the Malaysian afternoon isn't very pleasant.

*Grumble, grumble, grumble*

Even Friends Parents Can Be Cunning.

Interesting and amusing conversation I had with my friends mom.


Auntie K - Tim ar... When are you going to get a car and a girlfriend ar?

Tim - (me being cheeky) Aiya auntie you're already married. My shattered heart will never be the same.

Auntie K - Aiya why would you want an old woman like me? Go find yourself a nice 15/16 year old girl.

Tim - Auntie, I'm 24 years old. I'd probably end up in jail if I did that.

Auntie K - Nevermind. If you get into trouble I'll send Uncle down to defend you (he's a lawyer in case you haven't gotten that figured out).

Tim - But uncle isn't always here. You guys stay in Perth.

Auntie K - Aiya, you pay for his air ticket he'll surely come down to defend you. Then I also can come for holiday.

Tim - *Speechless*



Not bad... even my friends mom is trying to use me as a tool to go on holidays.

Taxi Drivers I Tell You!

I'm sure that most of you peeps in Malaysia know what total shitheads taxi drivers here can be. Today I was allowed to go to work late and since I missed my car pool I decided that a cab would be the next best option ( Yea I don't have a car to use.) So I managed to catch a cab from Bangsar and told the driver that I wanted to go to Sri Damansara where my office was. The idiot took me to Sri Hartamas.

Ok, no problem... we can still go to Sri Damansara via the Penchala Link, but instead of taking me to the tol he decided that he would show me a faster way with no tols. I had a fucking bad feeling and sure enough, I ended up in Jinjang, Kepong and then Sri Damansara. My usual fare if I took my normal way would be about RM14. My fare when he dropped me off was RM24! I told him to fuck off I'm paying him RM14 take it or leave it. He didn't put up much of an arguement because I figure he knows he took me the wrong way and made me sit in his stinking cab for a longer and more expensive journey.

*Snort!*

And The New Year Is Here.

Notable things that happened during my New Year celebration...

Lousy Louis - Got himself drunk even before the countdown began and decided that he doesn't have to pay for alcohol as long as he signs for it... in LUNA BAR. Post mortem has yet to be determined. Made me leave the party and send his ass home early (2 am) because he wanted to go home but was in no condition to drive. I'm expecting lots of free dinners and loads of presents next time he comes back from USA.

Nic - For trying to pick a fight with some ppl like 5 times his size because they shoved him off the bar thinking that someone in our group threw water at them. Loads of shouts and a couple of failed attempts to get at them later he finally calmed down. He shall now be known as Little Yakuza.

Aaron Stoner Ang - I understand that you were drunk, but you freak me out. This is what happened... Aaron came up to me while I was chatting with Sharon and said ' Sharon, let me tell you something about Tim here (putting his arm around me), I haven't known him for very long, I can't say I'm his best friend, but for the 8 to 9 months that I've known him, I know that he's always very respectable towards girls. If I wasn't attached, I'd go out with him. (grip tightens around me)' WHOAAAA WHOAAAAA STOP NOW! That is so wrong! That is just gay! It's sick! It's disgusting! Worse than sitting your ass down on a public toilet seat in Malaysia! Aaron, next time you are drunk I am not going anywhere near you!
