Money Monster



This is a story about where does your money go in Wall Street. The premise of this movie is simple. A talk show host is taken hostage because 800 million dollars from a single stock went missing overnight. George Clooney and Julia Roberts played their roles well. This movie plot is damn simple it could be an episode of 24 (where 24 is only 1 hour 30 mins). Yeah this movie is damn short. Really not worth to watch it in the cinema. A good thriller and it's a good couple movie

(600 post... That a milestone )

The Nice Guys



A movie that came out of nowhere. Starring to unlike couple but.. It works. The comedy is spot on and it's really funny. The story is about a murder that took place in 1977. It starts two detectives that both are working on different angles  and finally have to work together to solve the case. This movie moves a steady pace that you won't feel to bored down. The comedy works in a lot of levels. Even the slapstick ones. Worth a watch on blu-ray.

Day 301: Here we go again.

I'm starting something new in this post. I will give a brief description on what I did during the weekend. I had a long weekend courtesy of 22 hours working. And plus on Wednesday I basically work from home so I have 5 days off. Here are the stuff that I remember doing during the weekend

[Wednesday] Was my birthday so I had a birthday dinner that night

[Thursday] I think I stayed at home on Thursday. Catch some zzz

[Friday] Went for Birthday Dinner with the kids at Midvalley.. Ate a big fish head...

[Saturday] Went to H house since he did a celebration for his new niece.. And at night my best friend B-man treat me to Hard rock cafe. After there spend 3 hours catching Pokemon.

[Sunday] Had a wedding to attend to and then get ready to go to work

So work.. Let see what happen.. Oh yeah.. Im still here. Its 9.42pm and we have another big tender to submit. So I am stuck doing compiling work again. At least this time I brought an extra set of clothes and I had a bath. So I am a bit refreshed. So what I am going to do now. Catch some zzz before the real work starts.

Day 299: Feeling a bit lightheaded

Yesterday I was back to work after a 22 hour stint. The thing is my body was at the office but my mind was not. It turns out that not sleeping 22 hours can have a certain effect on your body... Everything was throbbing from my head to toe. Even the pain killer I took was not working. In the end I persevered till the end of the day.... Oh yeah, work was as usual

Day 298: 22 Hours

Its 6:53AM. On a monday. I've been here since 2PM on a Sunday.  We have a tender that we need to submit. I am of course useless in doing all the technical write up. I think I can do it if given the chance.. but really who cares. I was called out for always leaving early at work... Well is just harmless colleague banter. Do I care... Actually no... But I am hungry. Breakfast won't come until 7AM. And I can go home until the whole tender is done and dusted. There is still a couple more items left on the checklist. Its 6AM... Got less than 1 hour of sleep. The work is still piling up. I may not do any technical writing or numbers calculating but I do a lot of compiling work. And there are a lot of people who thinks that is menial work. I can say its tedious but it's not even menial. Since every small job helps. 7:45AM breakfast was late and I havent had food since lunch on Sunday... Ate some food and continuing on with work. around 9:30AM everything seems to be in order. at 10:30AM we finished our work. Boss look at me all disheveled (well I haven't slept since yesterday). So he ask me to go home and sleep. Which I did... Overall it is a productive weekend...

Day 297: Work not form home

That Friday I got a meeting at a client site. After the meeting I didn't feel like going to office so I've continued my work everywhere else but the office. Got to see a couple of cool sites and sound. Overall productive day. Plus our National Team is playing in the Olympics.

Day 296: Got cake

Well today is one of those good days. For starters my backup headphone died on me... So had to go to lowyat for lunch and get a cheapo replacement headphones (apparently I've been calling them wrong). Is called earphones. Got 2 new pokemon around the area. Before lunch there was a company meeting. After the usual hoo-haa we are treated with the staff members who have their birthdays on August. And low and behold I am one of them... Once a year people will sing happy birthday to mein a group... I got the honors to blow up the candle. Which is super awesome and sweet... Tomorrow I have a meeting.. Need to be prepared...  How was the cake? The cake was chocolate so is very bitter. I don't like chocolate.

Day 295: Busy day running around

But not for work related issue. I'm selling off my Lego and comic collection. And it seems there are some eager people who wants  to take the items right now. So I had to meet them in the hot sun. Which reminds me, I need to bring extra clothes next time after lunch. It gets too hot and I smell. Besides that I took the time to take another certification about something interesting. There are a lot of modules to cover. So I think I will take my own sweet time. Since I got until the end of this year.

Day 294: A don't care attitude

Well I have finally decided I don't give a damn about what other people think about me. As long I do my own work and help some people every now and again. I should be ok. It turns out that I don't have anything to do... I consider myself lucky. Since I'm being paid a crapton of money to do nothing. Which in my book is an awesome day... and I am going to make it a fact not to bring my stress or lack thereof back home...

Yesterday we had another internal meeting about the project. My friend DVH needed to present something and he gave me his phone to help him catch a pokemon... That was funny. I spend the evening doing some certifications for some products. Overall good day. The whole family is not feeling well. So today I arrived to the office super early.. Its been a long while since I have breakfast downstairs anymore. Since I heard you have 1 hour from the time you wake up, you need to eat so you can proceed food correctly. So better eat at home.

Day 293: I wonder how long I can keep this up

Well Monday is upon us... We have a couple new joiners joining us today. One is the new Marketing Manager SJ... and another new CM which looks like Micheal Fassbender... I will call him MF. Besides that did some re certifications of courses. I did a quotation using our excel quotation tools. Which is very confusing. I told my friend the story about how the other guy told me that I have no work. She then said for me to watch my back and be careful since people has noticed. The question is do I really care?? Its been 293 days already... If I have no work they should have just let me go... But I think I like a the uncle who won't go away. haha,,, I'm in a meeting right now

Day 291: A job well done

I had a tender due which was given to me on Wednesday. Everything was settled today. I had to send an email to get a price of something. I call this person JMM. She is always a happy person. Always says hi and we usually get along. But today when I said hi to her, she snapped my head and said that the email I gave was wrong... Another incompetent mess from me. I think she is probably stressed about something else but she needs to let of steam somewhere.

Day 290: A couple of stories

Yesterday a couple of things happen and I will break it down to a couple short stories

Story 1:
On Tuesday my boss emailed me a tender. So Yesterday I was stressed out in figuring out what to do. Good thing I took my time and understand the tender. Now we are 70% done and just waiting on the pricing.

Story 2:
I had a meeting yesterday at 12:00pm. It was a meeting to discuss another project. The funny thing is there is this guy. We will call him KS. KS really doesn't like me fro whatever reason. The funny thing is we are not even in the same floor or department. He was bad mouthing me to my boss saying that I was "incompetent" and have no purpose in the company. I shrugged it off.... After that we were back to normal when come lunch time... Free lunch

Story 3:
This is a scary story... During the dark ages China does not accept Malaysian Ringgit. But that is a story of another time... I got 100 bucks free Startbucks card

LEGO Batman 2

Way better than Batman v Superman



Game no: 170
Genre: Action 
Platform: PS Vita


What's is it about:
Batman needs to save Gotham from Joker and Lex Luthor

Gameplay consist of:
- Puzzle solving 
- Fighting 
- Costume changing
- Hero swapping 
- Lego Building 

What I liked: 
- The story line is funny and enjoyable (mostly the reason you play the game)
- Different Batman and Robin skins
- Play as other DC heroes

What I didn't Liked:
- The game gets repetitive after 2 stages. You probably stick with it due to the easiness of the gameplay.


Status: Beat the game until the end credits. Unlock more modes.

Score: Great way to waste your time. Really you can watch tv while playing this

Day 289: A funny story today

Today I took my own advice and blog before I leave for work. This is during I have a free time. Right now I have a couple of minutes of free time since tomorrow meeting has been rescheduled to a later date. So during lunch one of my friends told a funny story.

The story is as follows:
Two individuals. Lets call them A and B are trying to kiss ass to the big boss C. At first A and B did it discreetly and no one was the wiser. But now they have graduated to kiss ass trainer level 10. So now the kiss assery has graduated to more a public opening. (means everyone knows that they are kissing a lot of ass). Suddenly A figure out that B did something that one up B and left A in the dust. Now and A and B are not talking all because of this... Which is a very funny story.

Another story is that... (this one not that funny)
We have become a business that does not have any identity... I don't blame the sales people. They are all in charge of chasing the coveted sales target. So we are doing everything and anything we can put our hands on. In my opinion it will blow up in our face eventually but we will see

Ok.. Im out

Day 288: Trying on new shirts

Yesterday was a hectic Monday at the HQ. Not for me. I'm quite free. But for the whole team. There are a lot of projects needs to be settled. So the weekly sales meeting was cancelled. The highlight of that day is trying on new embroider named shirts. Quite fancy but it turns out only the sales team and all HOD gets it. Makes you feel special. In the evening. ZN calls me for an internal meeting. What I found out from the meeting is that... Nothing was agreed on and they are still waiting for the final word. I really should start blogging before I go home...

Day 287: Free Period

On Friday... Norhing to do. So I spend this time catch up on some trivial paperwork. At the evening it's time go home and enjoy the weekend

Suicide Squad



I know there is all hate for DC right now. They can't seem to get the magic that make Marvel who they are. But this movie I can say for a fact is better than Batman v Superman. It has cool characters with a lot of backstory. Cameos from other DC heroes. The story line that is a just a bit weird but make sense I guess to send them there. The Joker in this movie reminds me of the animated version. Not as scary as the Dark Knight version but creepy laugh nontheless. The critics say this movie has some pacing issue. I guess this movie just suffers on wanting to give us a lot with so little time. I don't think they can make a sequel out of this... But... if in the next 10 years after DC has establish their universe.. Who knows we probably can see them again in one form. Oh yeah... Margo Robbie is still hot even with all that makeup.

🌟🌟🌟

Day 286: Today is a terrible day...

Came to the office... I did something that I am going to regret the rest of my life... After that the chain of events happen that makes this day so tiring and depressing at the same time... I came at the office at 830. I left at 930 asking my awesome boss for leave... This is a lesson me in the future...

Jason Bourne



I've think I've seen most of the Bourne movie. These movies are a source of good action entertainment. But the plot is fairly the same. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Matt Damon does his best to look constipated. The thing about this movie is that it has a lot of flaws... The shaky cam makes it a bit hard to see the action (which is intentional). The lack of any comedic element (which I am not complaining since this movie is really fast paced). The story line is interesting that you forget the fact this movie is not a fun movie. You won't have a good time watching the characters. But you will be entertained. The last chase scene is one of the best sequences that I have seen in a long while. Plus... Tommy Lee Jones looks old man...

Day 285: I'm a riot

Today I've decided to do something crazy. I've been hankering for some Myburgerlab for 3 weeks already. So today I decide to wing it and go for lunch.  I asked 2 of my best friends at the office H&H to follow me. So for the first time in 285 days. I've decided to drive to Cyberjaya for lunch... People say I'm crazy but I think I am the right amount of crazy..

Lunch was great.. I had my favorite Ultraman burger which is a salted egg kind and my friends enjoyed. We went home without a hitch... Then then It was parking time. I went out from the driver seat and saw that my parking was crooked. So I decided to reverse the parking. But I made the mistake of sitting in the back passengers seat... That was epic-ly funny... This is the thing that they will remember until they die. I'm glad I can make them smile

Day 284: I got a new phone

Man, blogging the next day is not that good. Sometimes you'll develop a Dory and have short term memory. What I can remember about yesterday is that, I had ... pause... Now I remember what happen yesterday. My Iphone 5S had some speaker issue. Everything I hear from my side sounds muffled. So I went down to IT support and they gave me a brand new iphone. Now I have a sleek Iphone 6. Which is funny since my current personal phone is also an Iphone 6. Well it's business as usual again yesterday. Went for a meeting... only understand 50% of it... the rest of it, might as well they were speaking Chinese... Wait... as a matter a fact they were all speaking Chinese at one time... haha..

Day 283: The start of a busy day

Monday is upon us again. And as usual the office is fill with routine things to do. I have like 60MB of free space in my mailbox. So an hour was spend cleaning out my inbox. So the company did a post mortem on the vendor the screwed us. But in the end we think it was the right call since it would just cost us more headache than actual work. Other than that, the evening was spend at a client side doing meetings with them. I was there as a shadow puppet. I gave them all the bells and whistles of the product and my friend swoops in for the cheaper solutions. Overall we made a good team. Great monday... Onward till Tuesday.
