World Cup, 600cc, Wedding, and getting Fat

June has set in, half year went by, World Cup just started 2 days ago, my nose has been stuffy, free treats left with Vincent and Ang and my projects just went live. Oh gosh, there is still one that left unfinished due to last minute logic change. Anyway, the journey is still running for that part. I know it will end soon. Two weeks ago, I had attended my old friend's wedding. He had gone from thin to fat. 

I think life changes for everyone when one is settling down (getting married) especially the guys gaining waist line. I am not denying that I did not put on weight since I started living and working in Penang 2 years ago. My weight went from 66 to 70 kg. Uh-Huh. Probably, it is just a phase or the wife is a blessing for any men because they come back having to eat without having to consider where or what to eat. Cool. So your weight goes up. 

World Cup 2010, I am not a football fan and I do not even watch any of the leagues through their years of competition. World Cup is an exceptional because everyone, Tom, Dick and Harry, will be talking about it. Just yesterday morning, the cashier in 7-11, saw me holding the World Cup Special (a free pull-out) from the Star and asked, 

"What's the score for South Africa VS Mexico? Watch the second match?"

Yes, I told her the scores and the following game. Speaking of goals, this year I noticed several matches had equalizers. Is it the team players now are more stronger or the coaches strategy is strong? Last night, Argentina won the match. Nigeria were left zero throughout the 90 minutes game. Apart from that, my wife picked up the game too. She now knows that goal scored by a player behind the defender's lines is consider offside and not accounted. Anyway, the season is still early. Catcining a few games here and there is sure fun and considering the amount or quantity of guys standing by the TV sets watching the ball kicked left and right. 

In Gurney plaza, a group of people just stood beside Astro B.yond's promotional booth and watched football. Out at that front lobby, some events were being held to quiz fans about footballs. Then at mamak, people order their favorite teh tarik and watch the game. Then at certain pubs, the drinks go around and cheers went up for their favorite goal attempting or attempted to score a goal. Of course, louder cheers for a scored goal or a hush moment among tables of fans talking or critizing their players playing in the game. World Cup really just stops everyone's daily routine. Even the waitresses in 600cc are talking about it!

I am now staring at the TV showing iCarly, then looked out to the window and I see hazy sunny morning. This morning I pumped my biceps and did 20 sit-ups. Another weekend is ending and tomorrow is starting another new Monday. Oh gosh, my nose is acting up again. I need to go and blow my nose....

Life's a Jin Taan

Life's a Jin Taan. Jin Taan is not a person but is a Cantonese name for a fried egg and that is even delicious when it is served with a plate of white rice. It is cheap and the cook can serve you one easily. The aroma of frying an egg on a hot and sizzling pan, fills the kitchen that slowly seeps into the dining area, will make your stomach growls for it. A lot of things can change from just one plain fried egg if you add some chopped onion either onto or into it. It taste even better! You should be able to notice the golden brown crispy flakes around the top of the Jin Taan. Do you want one?

Avocado and I found it...

Classy Avocadoe with a plate of potatos skinned filled...

Tell me, if you've been looking for that one drink for a long time. You remembered you had it at one place but it is very far away. Okay, probably Air Asia can bring you there. But, you just need to have it when your mood feels for it. Neither way you want to make it yourself because you are lazy nor you want to go out to the supermarket and get one or two of it. Yet, you just feel like going to have it at a restaurant so no need to bother about making it. Perhaps, only when you are free. So one day, I found my favourite drink - Avocadoe Juice. In Indonesia, it is known as Apulkat. If you are going there, you should try this drink. It is a good stuffs.

Now I found this drink in Breeks. Yes, of all restaurants, bistros and cafes, I found it serving in Breeks. Yes! You should try it. Breeks restaurant can be found in Queensbay Mall and Gurney in Penang.

CSC, 2 Bottles of Heineken and beautiful girls

With an external consultant left, a few Helpmatics passed down to my personal task list, and a first month no-shaving challenge won, and tonight Ang gave me a treat at CSC; I can't asked for more right. Reading a book on communism and about to finish it because the story is sad but interesting too.

Anyway, today I was at CSC with Ang and Maverick and I had two bottles of Heineken. Apart from my usual Guiness, I wanted something to cool down my head after several months of steam accumulated from my work. We had a good time at CSC with me and Ang ended playing foosball. Scored a few and lost a lot to Ang. By the way, you should try CSC's black pepper boneless chicken and Ang claimed it is a good stuff. So it is! Maybe next visit, I shall try Osama Fried Rice.

From 9:30 pm till 11:30 pm, I saw incoming of beautiful chicks with their boyfriends strolled into CSC. There were many moments I wanted to talk to them though a few smiled back but several reason made me stop there. Yes, CSC has its beautiful young girls. Not as silent as it seems. Perhaps, my beard struck magic spells on everyone. Bah! Probably my mind is still stupor from 2 bottles of Heineken. Yes, I am writing this entry with some Heineken still flowing in my bloodstream.

Walking towards my car, I just realized, seriously, I saw a half naked guy, knelt on both knees, covered with just a sarung having his nightly bath beside a private pipe. He was lathe with soup and the pipe was gushing water for him to rinse off his body. I am lucky that I had my own toilet in the apartment. Walking on, I saw another Indian family on rickshaw, passing by, while the father explaining to his two children about Baba and Nyonya. Don't you think its wonderful? Yes, it is! Further on, I saw an Indian guy half naked slept on a pathway. He was snoring away. I think when life has come to that stage, any floor is a good bed. I am lucky that I have a bed and a wife every night. God bless me and you!

Life has its up and down; no doubt. Tomorrow, I will be testing my Meguiar's Quik Detailing and Claybar on my PG2. Hopefully it is as good as it claimed in the Internet's Youtube. All of it cost RM106. Julia Roberts is on the television and she is still as beautiful as ever since she starred in Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman is a classic. It raised one question, "Would you fall in love with a prostitute like Richard Gere's character in the movie?" or "Would you fall in love with a gigolo?" for ladies out there. All I am trying to say that love can be so blind that it does not matter who that person works for a living but the personality that captures one's heart. How about you? Will you?

Lifes' hard

You woke up 7.00 am,

Hoping to see a better world,

Yet it just an everyday,

Like it was yesterday.

You go to work,

Hoping to see a better day,

Yet you still work,

Like it was a bit of yesterday.

Life is hard,

Easy only for a while,

With the existence of computers,

You became non existence of a little bit.

But for me who programs,

It's a bit of difference than those,

Who use computers in their life,

I need to automate those computers.

Life is hard,

Money grows slow,

Life is fast,

Money grows slower.

People are tougher,

Society is bigger,

World is flatter,

Ain't life hard?

williamwilstroth... hard life... tough society...

Air Asia, Sibu-KL, Delayed!

Sibu had been raining for the last two days while Penang had been as dry as the Sahara desert. This morning, Air Asia (KL bound) delayed their flight by 20 minutes. 

Mr William : I wonder what's their cause of delay?

Mrs William : It's the rain... ** Her eyes focus on her iPhone **

Mr William : But isn't airbus's design meant to cut through the rain...

Mrs William : Aiya... just like car... rain means friction... so the plane is slow lar...

Mrs William : Aiya... plane is not efficient... not entirely lar... also depend on the pilot...

Mr William : Then pilot not efficient....!

Mrs William : Yes!

After a while, 

Mr William : If the flight to KL is delayed... and we missed our connecting flight leh.. then how? Air Asia will compensate ar?

Mrs William : No.

Mr William : Like that... mana boleh?! We miss our connectng flight because their plane not efficient as a result of the pilot not efficient also... must bayar gantirugi lar...

Mrs William : No, it won't happen... they will say, 'it's not our problem'...

Mr William : Kanineh... if this really happen I will write to all the newspapers... Tiu!

Mrs William : Aiya... you think MAS (Malaysia Airlines) meh... they will bayar gantirugi lar... Air Asia you wait lar...

Mr William : ** lips pouting ** 

Mrs William : You pray the plane come quickly...

Mr William : Air Asia... if you come quickly and got leng lui air stewardess sit next to me throughout the flight... I will forgive you....

Mrs William : -__-"
