Indiscriminate Parking Really Pissssed Me Off !!


Grrrr ... I feel victimised. My car got those scratch marks just becoz' a driver didn't measure up with their own judgement to double park a narrow lane which hardly can fit two cars. My bigger and longer car get bullied around for nothing. I guess it makes sense now that the bigger you are, the bigger you fall ... duh ..

Hari Raya With A Blast Off


Spent literally the whole 1st day hari raya @ parents in law's place. This year seems a lil' bit subdued the only things that made the nite slightly different was the fireworks. I was trying hard this year not to spend any on the fireworks (tall order) but finally succumbed to the relentless chants from thin air he.ehe.. There goes my easy money to fatten the vendors' coffers. But the kids enjoyed it a lot ... lol ... selamat hari raya aidilfitri to all muslims .. maaf zahir dan batin and pls drive safely ..

Demise of An Uncle

Today we lost one great .. great uncle. Very soft spoken, quiet, lived a very simple life, who avoided nonsensical discussions and very exemplary character who finally left us in his early 80's. I'm sure we'll reminisce those fond memories and glimpses of the past ... may God bless him ... Amin .. al Fatihah ... Hj Abdullah Hj Ismail ....

Farewell Sending Off for Lil' Bro'

Tonite farewell sending off for our youngest member was mixed feelings for all. Well perhaps he's the last one to go, hence, somehow it's entirely a different scenario altogether. We all wish him good luck and the best in his studies and I'm sure he'll cope with the sudden cultural change and be back with flying colours.

If I can remember clearly the last family member to go was at one time flying back to Scotland 2 days after the infamous 911 saga happened. We're dead worried back then knowing that he's travelling from Heathrow airport and back to Glasgow alone. That's the past and time is flying fast these days so naturally you won't feel the pace by the time it's a done thing. I guess we worry too much sometime ....

Things Are Really Grinding to Halt

A week thru' Ramadan and noticeably things have slowed down a lot. A good break for now tho' slightly tired and going back home after work all the way from KB is nightmarish sometime hehe.. very sleepy ... Notably my blog updates at best will be erratic but I just want to get goin', hence another pointless post. Pretty short of ideas but what to do, nothing much expected over these few weeks to come anyway.

Camping Out @ Wasai Teraja, Labi

The fact that there were only four of us, didn't deter us to continue with the plan. Unfortunately the following sunday is the Rafting Klassik, so we can't muster the numbers or critical mass so to speak. Apart from one member who suffered dehydration, else it was another worthwhile appointment with the beauty of mother nature. You got to experience it first so describing them in words is no justice. I've just won an eBay bid for a GPS navigator, so we might be planning to day trek some of the places we've not frequented. We've lots and lots of things in mind ...

Nite Camp Out @ Batu Apoi, Temburong

The impromptu plan kicked off well than expected last weekend and it started as early as 7 am picking up the boys along the way.

We're @ Kuala Lurah check point by 9 am, travelled thru' Limbang, had brunch @ Bangar, Temburong before midday, proceeded to Selapon, Batu Apoi, trekked thru' at least 1 and 1/2 hour and reached our camping spot by 2 pm. We kind of missed the 2nd river crossing but later decided to chose our sweet "spot" by moving upstream although it was supposed to take at least 1 hour had we not missed it.

Nice place, clean and almost clear water stream but most of us end up with lil' sleep becoz' of fren's heavy snoring .. hu..huu.. But I was slightly put off with the humidity tho' and was perspiring even till late nite despite having cold evening splash.

Packed and left before midday the next morning, took lunch, dropped by @ the long house (1st ever experience) before heading to Limbang and back to Brunei. Slightly held up at least an hour @ the Pendaruan ferry crossing and another hour @ the Tedungan immigration. By the time I'm home it was already close to 9 pm and .. oh yes.. darn .. I'm working the next day. Energy level was very low but worthwhile experience .. thinking of doing another one .. lets see ... maybe Labi ...

An Appointment With Mother Nature he..he..

Somebody was pushing this idea ... well to camp overnight at Batu Apoi, Temburong. I'm an avid jungle trekker but never get the chance to experience it. Next weekend and that's it .. pretty short notice tho', so have to rush a bit getting the basic stuffs. We'll start with smaller group first, so if it goes well perhaps we might be selling the idea and get bigger crowds next time.

Blogging In Thai ?? Part 2


Another posting attempt going well than expected ..he.he. That's the view from the Pan Pacific Hotel's room. It's a 5 star hotel .. so naturally the level of comfort is just as expected. I think it's the same kind of comfort you would get by staying at Empire Hotel. That's 6,000 baht or close to B$300 per night but it's a company business trip so who cares really ....

It's only late tonite that I finally manage to get in touch with family back at home but unfortunately the kids are already in bed early. The quality of broadband internet is superb so video chatting is better and cheaper than using the phone.

In the end I've to attend many meetings and travelling to and fro my head office is troublesome. But the positives are that you get to see more bosses, get to see the corporate picture more clearer, maybe getting myself more "visible" ..duh..

I was sort of being heavily involved with the OS Game for the last 3 weeks or so.. and glad that I'm now past it with the assurance that I'm still in one piece. There's a tingling sensation in my ankle and the last thing I would want to happen is being injured and that could be a real disaster.

This is not a nature call for a blog review folks .. he..ehe. Why I decided to single out this particular blog is for certain reasons. Well she's from Lumut area which I've stayed for almost 13 memorable years since moving out from Belait district. Coincidentally her hubby is someone I knew well in our office environment which I only get to know when stumbling across at some of the pixs. Interesting finding huh ..

So this blog at best reminds me of my ol' days at Lumut, hence my show of utter appreciation of it's existence.

That could be potentially a 3rd changeout if we weren't that lucky. So 10% damage is still a lot better considering the aftermath last nite and luckily the rain stopped at the rite moment ... so much with an episode of a wet wet traumatic experience .he.he.. come to think of it, I guess there were others who weren't lucky enuff ...

Lengthy Pause ... So Little To Blog

That was almost 3 weeks without anything to post my dear ... too bad. Let me start reflecting on those longer than usual pause. OK ... I was just moving house, settling down a lot longer than usual, long drive back and forth office/home (damned tired), busy with my offshore assignment, losing my daily momentum (ouch), reminiscing my ol' KB days (ssheezz), making excuses, thinking of another excuses, fine tuning those excuses ...bla..bla..bla.... excuse me !!!

So together?.. all paus went to find maggi mee for revenge. On the way... they met Spaghetti?... so all pau ran to Spaghetti and BEAT the hell up on Spaghetti that Spaghetti can't say a word.

Spaghetti then scream ... "WHAT DID I DO? I don't even know you all"???
Then the Siew Pau say ??.. "HEH! MAGGI MEE! Don't think I can't recognize you after you do REBONDING!"

MPP Team Building


Perhaps one of the many team building exercises which I feel was really worthwhile experiencing. It was a simple boat ride at KB river going upstream to the Kuala Balai and back forth which literally took more than 5 hours. We've funs on board, were kept busy with team building actvities as usual and maybe this could be a good proposition for a family outing. Rental is like less than $500 so I guess that's still good value for money. Only then I learnt that there's a skull hut at Kuala Balai just next to the river bank. Yes these are real collections of skulls ... eerie ... if you're adventurous enough then you may consider staying overnight but be .. be very afraid .... hehe ..

A Day With A Laughter

Kepada Cikgu yang dihormati,

Harap maklumkan saya hari tidak dapat menghadirkan diri ini ke dalam kelas cikgu kerana saya mendapati saya dihinggapi penyakit. Aku sudah betemu dengan deresa pagi ini tetapi sungguh menyedihkan aku disahkan tiada berpenyakit. Bapa saya telah membawa saya berjumpa manang, dan mengesahkan saya kena pansa utai. Bersama dengan ini saya sertakan laporan manang berkenaan (Manang Nyawing), dan imbasan dari batu ilau manang berkenaan.
Minta tolong cikgu untuk menghebahkan perkara ini kepada guru besai dan cikgu disiplin.
p/s : kalau saya balik ke boding nanti saya bawakan buah nyekak dan buah sibau untuk cikgu.


Yang jauh dimata,
Anak muridmu. Changking

Print Spooler Problem

I was tinkering and trying hard to figure out my print spooling problem. I've checked the dependency service (RPC) but still can't restart my printer spool service. Only then I realised that some printer like Lexmark normally installs a service LexBCES and makes the printer spooler dependent to it. I think this might be handy for others who may encounter similar problem.

Using command prompt just type sc config spooler depend= RPCSS and hit enter key and walla .... solve this pain in the neck.

My last post was Monday ... a week apart to be exact ... that was damned fast ... I was practically sidelined with flu last week and on the road to recovery. Hopefully it's over by this week. Unfortunately, the other family members are slowly getting into the same cycle. Well, we'll get over it soon and I'm sure we'll.

The current bad weather spell that persists will be a done thing pretty soon. But I heard that the El Niño will follow soon and learnt that it's going to be hotter than the last occurence in 1998. Just wait and see ... bush fires, hazes, PSI index, masks, to name a few will be the common keywords by then ...
