New Love.

Beats OldTown's instant White Coffee hands down. Now, I'm just waiting for them to package its White Milk Tea into these instant 3-in-1 sachets.

Signs?

A dream. That I was unable to exit a building, it doesn't matter if I use the stairways or the lifts or different routes, I always end up exiting the same door back to the starting point. Only to realize later that it was actually the time zone, a particular duration, that I was trapped in, an infinite loop.


From there, I managed to track a few others who had the same realization (of the loop) and we stuck to each other, still not knowing how to escape. And we ventured further.

The weirdest part of all, within the dream, little by little, I began recollecting memories of having the exact same dream before, the same building, same scenario with the same group of people.


Then I woke up.

Happy Birthday(s)!

Happy Birthday to dearest Jacklyn, I've decided to spare you guys from any of the mushy and lovey-dovey stuff this year so please be grateful. And Happy Be-early Birthday to Eugene as well, finally got to see you in person and now worries as you still look great, I guess your camera decided to add a few pounds to you in all your previous pictures.


The lovely Tiramisu you see above is from our usual 'supplier', Cake Indigo. Yums! So, Mr.Adrian, have we already had enough orders to finally claim a free cake? :P

Observed: A First For Everything.

My very first in achieving a score that's above 300K and one of the world's best, it's worthy of its very own post. Let's see if 400K and above is possible now.

Observed: What a Wonderful World.

12 November 2009, 7.27.08 am. Got into the car, took a deep breath in anticipation of a hectic day ahead, then looked out the windscreen and up into the sky.

And my day just got much better.

Bonus: Wife threw me a flying kiss as I drove past the gates. I'm now fully charged for the day ahead!

Its just like the AvP Movie's tag line, whoever wins, I lose. Sigh... and things are gonna get even more nasty as the wife has just realized her full potential in exercising her Sixth Sense ability.

Dial 123.

Found out that trying to explain a Page Not Loading Issue to a Customer Care Consultant over the phone can be an extremely challenging task when the consultant keep insisting that (in random orders):

1. You clear the cache, cookies and all that even when I've stressed that its a page not loading issue

2. You have registered for an Internet Pin even when I've stressed that its a page not loading issue and I've logged in AND made numerous transactions before

3. You have disabled the pop-up blocker even when I've stressed that its a page not loading issue

4. You have registered for an Internet Pin even when I've stressed that its a page not loading issue and I've logged in AND made numerous transactions before *ROAR!*

5. You have tried accessing using a different browser/machine/location even when I've stressed that its a page not loading issue and I've tried via home internet, office internet, Maxis 3G, Maxis GPRS, Wireless @ Starbucks, etc

6. Its a page not loading issue so stop guiding me how to log in

7. You have registered for an Internet Pin even when I've stressed that its a page not loading issue and I've logged in AND made numerous transactions before *vomit blood*

8. You have registered for an Internet Pin...

9. You have registered for an Internet Pin...

10. You have registered for an Internet Pin...


In the end, when the issue finally (thank God) registered to her, after guiding Step-by-Step to replicate the issue for herself to see, I still didn't get my answer on when the site/page will be up again. So, I just wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate Maxis because your Customer Care Consultant(s) have just managed to shorten my life span around 2-3 years by successfully transforming me into the forbidden Level 143 Berserk mode.


p/s: 123 is the number for Maxis subscribers to dial for whatever type of inquiries/issues. Non Maxis subscribers can dial 1 800 82 1123.

p/p/s: Was on the verge of almost smashing my phone on the floor but stopped at the thought of might having to wait for another month.
