Last night… or was it this morning… I did not manage to get a good sleep thanks to my toothache. I went to sleep around 2.30 am although my tooth was still hurting that time…

I was not able to sleep at all… I have to wake-up, go to the kitchen, put some tap water into my mouth, wait till the pain go away, throw away the water then go back to bed… before I can fall into sleep, the pain comes back again… I can’t remember how many times I did that… and I guess I only manage to sleep 4 hours or so 😛

I wake up still feeling the pain and went to work… I stop by at Kepayan Ridge’s 7-11 to buy mint gaggle liquid to kill the pain… but they don’t even have Listerine… shooot… I bought two bottle of Spritzer mineral water instead…

Hardly able to concentrate my work in the office… 😛 Others are still enjoying their outer banks vacation rentals till the end of this week… the 8 floors office building is still look deserted… I think more than 50% are still not back to work… they must have taken extended leave and went for vacation since ‘last year’… me have to work with toothache… why???… why me???… why???…

Ouchhhhhh… it’s over 1am and I’m having big time toothache right now… I have been trying to reduce the pain for the past 4 hours without any success…

All I can do is put water into my mouth to soak the tooth and the pain goes away for a while… then the pain comes back again after 5 minutes or so…

My vision is blurry right now… I’m like lost in outer space… somehow the nerve in my tooth is connected to every parts of my head…

If I can’t get rid of this toothache soon, I’m going to loose my appetite and soon will loose some weight… worse I will get skinny if I’m unable to eat like before… no need slimming pills or anything to throw away some of my belly fat… that will be horrifying…

A friends put a message in the Facebook asking me to take ‘pinang’… beetlenut… coz it has somekind of properties which act as natural painkiller… but how the heck to get it in the middle of the night???…

Shoot man… I will not get a good sleep tonight…

Usually every year, the national budget will touch on cigarette tax. But this year, it seems like none… I’m not sure… probably there was but it was made to look not so important this time.

For health reason, the government usually increases the tax on tobacco products especially cigarette every year to deter existing and new to be smokers from spending their money to buy cigarette…. which is good… I really hate second hand smoke!!! If the tax on cigarette keep on increasing, one day the price of cigarette will overtake the price of the cigars online which is openly sold… :p

We are at the final month of the year… mail box… the real mail box… will start getting filled with season greetings cards… annual reports for your investments… annual bills for your life insurance… and so on.

A few weeks ago I collected a few bills from the mail box… yea, bills… that’s what I think of them all… one of it is from AIA… yea, AIA the insurance company where I bought all my insurance… and I’m sure it was bill…

So I, I tried to make time to go to AIA’s office at Karamunsing… and manage to spare some time last Friday during the lunch time. Getting parking at AIA’s office is easy, just enter their compound and double park… 😀

I took a queue number and waited… when my number called, I went to the counter and show my ‘bill’ and said I want to pay the ‘bill’… the moment she look at the ‘bill’ she told me… ‘you don’t have to pay that, it just to inform u the premium has been paid’… o shoot… so bloody shy… shame… damm… I pretend I don’t know and said… oh, I was confused, it looks like bill… i forgot i’ve change to autopay using my credit card… bla bla bal… mumbling… mumbling…. 😛 shoot…

Why the heck insurance companies don’t provide online services like the bank? If they’ve provided the service, I should have not wasted my time and save my water face 😛 … With online services, I can check all my insurance status anytime… get an instant life insurance quote anytime… grrrrr… shame…

Some people likes sports sandal… some likes sneakers… some likes dansko sandals… some likes crocs sandals… I like crocs 😀

Whichever your liking, for me comfort is the number one reason to own crocs… the fist time I saw crocs about 5 years ago, it looks so ugly!!! But after trying it, the comfort simply kills the ugliness… 😛

Today, there are many ‘crocs’ in the market… and they are damm cheap too… 20 times cheaper than the original crocs… RM9.90 only a pair!!!

My first crocs was a ‘crocs’ bought about five year ago… but after trying the real crocs, the comfort was thousand miles different… 😀 The ‘crocs’ sole is very painful… and it break after a month I think… then I change it to the real crocs… and never regretted… 😀

Everybody started taking year end leave already… everybody are going for vacation… but for those whose duties are to make sure the systems runs well at all time will hardly get those luxury 😛

And I really hate it when some people don’t understand that doing important support job is a stressful job… we can’t just leave things behind… and this ‘people’ simply call for unnecessary meetings… for the sake of trying to complete their own unimportant work… if the lame meeting is not conducted this year, no account will be unclosed you see… but when system don’t work, the whole administration and accounting will collapse… I think the luggage sets I bought in KL during WCA last month will not be going anyway soon… probably till next year… 😛

26 November 2009 Thanksgiving day… 27 November 2009 Black Friday… both are over… but the only thing which is not over yet is the food overload…

So much cheap stuffs and so much food… kilos of turkey and litters of drinks… but as usual, there is always consequences that come from overindulging drinks and food… some will start complaining they are getting fat… So what are you going to do?…

Well, its time to detoxify yourself… don’t think about weight loss pills yet… better cleanse your body from all those bad food first…  How?… Sweat out yourself lah… 😛

Go jogging… go sauna… go swimming… do anything to sweat out… 😀

If you come across with this situation… probably your car insurance alone will not be sufficient… you gonna need a life insurance too… if the scaffolding fall directly on your path!!!

The photos were captured this morning around 10am along Penampang Road. The scaffoldings are used to do renovation on the old Land and Survey Department’s office near Queen Elizabeth Hospital… which is also in the process of being demolish.

If the safety net was not erected next to the building, the scaffolding definitely have fallen onto the road… imagine if there are few cars travelling along the road at 80 KM/h… sure there will be pile of cars sandwiched together!!!

I hope they have removed the scaffolding for everyone’s safety… the relevant authority in charge of safety should visit the site and give the contractor a hard lecture on safety…

Do you know that to erect or assemble the scaffoldings you need to go through a course and certification?

One of the most advance safety products from Dye is its goggle, the new Dye’s i4 goggle.

Some of the i4 features are:

– Designed with the Professional in mind, thus provides comfort, rigidity and lightweight protection with Dye one piece, dual injected mask design.
– Sleek, light, low profile soft compression ear pads provide the protection you need while offering style and hearing clarity.
– The anatomically correct i4 mask system offers the best in comfort for all facial contours.
– The i4 retention strap system needs to be adjusted once and once only.
– One of the i4’s greatest features is the Multi-Directional Venting.
– The i4 comes equipped with Dye’s enhanced High Definition Lens, providing optimal lens clarity in any weather situation.

And I bought one during the World Cup Asia 2009 – Paintball Asia Series (PALS) for RM350.

I have not tried it on field yet but soon… 😀

It’s a great goggle… it snugs nicely on my face… and it gives more confidence when wearing it… 😀

Last week, a man came to my office. He came to sell Christmas cards… he is helping the Carmelite to sell the christmas photo cards.

He was selling me the last pack he brought along with him. It was around 3pm something when he entered my office… that’s why he only left with one pack. He has been going around the building from door to door selling the Christmas cards since afternnon.

He said he has been helping the Carmelite selling the cards for many years already… I can’t really remember but I think he said something like 5 years or so… or was it 15?…

Anyway, I bought from him the last pack for RM15.00 😀
