Cloudburst
Mood:  incredulous
Topic: Personal
Today was a very hard-working day. No meetings, no discussions, just plain work. I have to prepare a presentation for our division, and hopefully will get it ready by tomorrow.

Had to quickly run out of the office to feel a bit of the sunshine. Suddenly spotted this ray of sunbeam bursting from the thick clouds. The actual scene looks much better than the photo.

Maybe I still have some ray of hope....

Entanglement
Mood:  d'oh
Topic: Office
Everyone at the project office who is connected to the corporate network is linked to this tiny hub. This is right under my working table and is beside my feet. Once in a while, i may accidentally kick the hub and someone gets temporarily disconnected.

I think the mess in the picture is a good indication of the current state in the project...

A Visiti to Putrajaya
Mood:  energetic
Topic: Personal
I took my car for a test drive and drove all the way to Putrajaya. Once in a while, you have to get your Italian automobile for a breather.

Actually, it was a few stretches in Cyberjaya that proved to be more suitable to my car. Less traffic, no cops, nice straights and some curves.

My car came through with flying colours.

Wedding Flower Egg
Mood:  special
Topic: Personal
One of my friends got married today, and I was invited to her wedding.

It is customary in a malay wedding to give out these flower eggs (bunga telor) to guests. Apparently, they're a sign of fertility and happiness (I think).

The event went well and was quite well organised. The food was good too. And most of all, I met up with my other friends.

Shoe Corner
Mood:  not sure
Topic: Home
When someone comes home, they'll chuck there shoes in the corner of the main room. This is where all the shoes reside after a day's outing with them. They transit here for a while until my mum clears them into the store room.

I have several pairs of shoes. For office wear, it's either the brown or black leathers. For general going out, I'd be using my jogging shoes.

Chilli or Tomato?
Mood:  not sure
Topic: Home
Two of the most important items during a meal: tomato and chilli ketchup. Your lunch or dinner would be bland without them.

They work well with almost any dishes. You can also mix the two to give a blended taste.

If you're not sure, don't leave home without it.

Italian Passion
Mood:  on fire
Topic: Personal
I went to fetch my car from the service centre. They did some brake and belt adjustments, repaired my electric windows and retuned the engine, so now it feels really good.

Of course, I wish the car in the picture is mine... that's actually the workshop's owner's car. Oh well, one day, i hope to own a beast like that, hopefully an even better one too.

Tea of Coffee?
Mood:  chillin'
Topic: Office
What you see is the typical coffee break table spread we have in our company.

Usually, both tea and coffee are served in a flask, while two types of kuih is provided, normally placed on a round table. In this case, we got curry puff and kuih lapis (layered cake).

Occasionally, we get large servings of fried mee or chicken rice, but not today. I'll try to snap a pic of one of those better dishes...

Briyani Lunch
Mood:  hungry
Topic: Family
I had to resend my car to the workshop as there were still a bit of screeching sounds at the brakes. After that, my brother and i decided to have Indian cuisine for lunch.

We headed to a popular stall in Kelana Jaya and although they didn't have Tandoori, I ordered chicken briyani which is their specialty.

Once in a while, you gotta try something other than MacDees or Pizza...

Shopping Spree
Mood:  suave
Topic: Family
Today, after lazily waking up late, my nephew, niece and i decided to catch a movie.

We left after lunch and headed to Sunway Pyramid but since the place was jammed packed, we moved on to One Utama, which was crowded too, but we managed to squeeze through. I have not been to the new wing of One Utama, so we took some time to tour the complex.

The movie we watched was "I, Robot" and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Some day I'll return to One Utama as it has some nice shops here...
