Days of Delirium

Dream came true - Dato' Farah and I Being a loyal Melium member, we were invited by Melium Group to attend the launching of M Men and M Women stores in Gardens, Mid Valley on the 26th of November. Appropriately themed 'Absolutely Fabulous', guests were the creme-de-la-creme of the society with many distinguished people thronging the party area, enclosed by Melium boutiques such as Boss Hugo Boss, Alain Figaret and M Stores. A lost guest with a glass of orange juice. Just orange juice okay? Abg Ayi in non-Melium outfit. Hehe The fashion show kicked off with 15 Malaysian 'celebrities' (some of them are royalties and were considered celebrities too. Since when royaties became ones?), starting with Ning Baizura donning a cocktail dress from Custo Barcelona, followed by Chef Wan in Rock & Republic jeans, Elaine Daly in Hale Bob dress and many more. Other celebrities include Johnathan Putra aka JP (model-turned-Channel V VJ-turned model again) donning Just Cavalli...

Okay, I had never worked for real thus far in my life. But that doesn't suggest that I'm against working or the idea of being someone else's inferior minion loathes me, NO . I had always been keen to work, really. So, I browsed this website (parttime.com.my) and found one where they needed part-time promoters to help out during this sale season. I emailed them my contacts and true enough, they were so desperate for people. Someone called me about an hour later asking me when I could start (which desperados like me will reply with the same standard answer - ASAP ). So the next morning, I reported myself to the Tangs office, located in Menara Keck Seng which is opposite of the Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur (yes, it was Tangs surprisingly. They didn't put the name of the company on the job ad listing). Located at the fifth floor, the office was so unlike of anything I had imagined before - crowded with cubicles, people going back and forth, nobody will take notice of my presence...

Since my exams are over and I got nothing else better to do, I spend most of the time in front of my lappy and look out for other cool applications that I can use. This one caught my eyes and it is REALLY useful and quite interesting. The 360Desktop lets you have a 360 degrees desktop i.e. more space on your desktop, which is surprisingly-easy to use. You can just use the track-scroll on your mouse to rotate the desktop and even adjust the scrolling speed. You are now able to open as many windows as you wish on your desktop without interfering one another. This one is totally useful for me when I need to do multi-windows works like doing a report while referring to other documents and at the same time browsing a web site. These are the impressions you will get as you 'scroll' your desktop to the right using 360Desktop (click on images for larger view) You can also post widgets that can be scattered on your desktop as you wish and even 'clip' any part of a web-page tha...

Though not completely computer-literate, I somehow managed to merge two of the three partitions in my laptop - by my own! That's SOME accomplishment for a guy like me. My brother suggested this application, Partition Magic , which enables you to split, resize, merge or change the system type of your partition e.g. FAT30, FAT32 or NSTF. I don't know what those acronyms stands for but I do know that a FAT32 partition is the central point where all of your system files are stored. I managed to picked up this and that by myself along the way of merging those partitions. So, why the need of bigger free space you ask? To make way for the new Adobe Photoshop CS4 of course! Just when I thought I was pretty advance with my Adobe Photoshop CS3, along came CS4 with brand new fresh-out-of-the-room layout. The whole interface is different from its predecessors, most of the part at least. This extended pack includes Adobe Device Central CS4, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Air, among all. The most ...

*this post had been updated due to massive grammatical errors. I'm so embarassed* The Carrie Bradshaw-ness strikes again. I fell in love with these gorgeous Victoire white leather sneakers from Louis Vuitton the moment I saw it last few months while doing my Raya shopping. The only thing stopped me from having it at that time was its color - white . I am a terrible stuff-keeper and a lousy preserver so I guess it was just a matter of time before I started leaving nasty marks on its angelic-white skin. But now I changed my mind. I don't care about the color anymore - I just got to have it! That was before I came across this pair of velcro sandals with rubber sole by Gucci. To be honest, I was always the shoe-guy and had never really been starstruck by sandals - until now. I got to have it. I just GOT to have it... and I'll have it, any way any how. I can picture myself with a short-sleeve shirt over a nice pair of khakis pants or shorts and complete the appearance with thes...

I'm sure you noticed the different (and way bigger) blog header. Thanks to my baby brother, Rio for editing it without my knowledge and I must say, I'm impressed by it. So, it'll stay there for a while as an acknowledgement to him. Hehe. Thanks bro! Here it is, examination time again. I got panic attack (thank God for that) a week before the exam kicked off and dashed full speed to study and catch up everything that I could. I must say, though not at my top form, I managed to pull it off quite good. Hehe, kinda flattered and feel ridiculously vain at the same time. Lots (read: LOTS) of things happened since I wrote the latest post until today. I mean, on November 4 th , 2008, as I answered my first paper for this examination, Americans decided on their 44 th and the most important choice of President. Okay, maybe not simultaneously due to the time difference but you get the picture right? Allow me to be dramatic at times, please. Praise the Lord; Americans ...

While taking a stroll down and finding a nice place to eat in Jalan Telawi, Bangsar on Saturday, I was stopped by a reporter by NTV7 (well, that's what his tag and camera stickers said) asking for my opinion. The isssue was about a recent report by an international body that stated that Malaysian mainstream press were not given much freedom in reporting. Boy, my mind went frenzy with ideas and things that I prepared to say. However I kept my sense in check, keeping in mind that my face will appear on national television at prime time so better not start things off with stuff like 'Fuck you Pak Lah!'. I won't say that, don't worry. I kept my congeniality in check. I told him, I somewhat agree with the report that our mainstream press is not being (totally) true and bias in reporting. Why I said so? Because there are issues that are not reported and people have to resort to other sources like blogs and forums to find out about such. "What can be done?" he as...
