A Tribute To Jonathan Siambun (Oton)

A Tribute To Jonathan Siambun (Oton)

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories were a lane,
i'd walk rite up to heaven
to bring u home again.

No farewell words were spoken
We Never had the chance
to bid u farewell, with a hug and a kiss
no time to say goodbye
u were gone be4 i knew it
and only god knows why.

May you rest in peace, dear Oton
though the tears will fall, from mine eyes because,
u were so wonderful a brother & a friend
u will be remembered by one and all,
tears will forever flow,
because your death was such a fatal blow

My heart still aches in sadness
and secret tears still flow
what it meant to lose you
no one will ever know

~ Personalised by Joyce J Siambun

Acting

hehehehh... i'm so excited i hv to blog abt this

a workshop on video production by FINAS is currently on going and our department, being the multimedia department was selected to be the venue for this workshop. today, they're shooting a short movie and for one of the scenes, they need some (extra) actors and actresses. of course we (my colleagues & i) volunteered. bila lagi mo jadi bintang filem... hehehehh... u just hv to start somewhere, y'know...

it was just a short scene, where two people were waiting in front of the elevator as the numbers changed from 6 to 5 to 4 and to 3 (we're at level 3) and then another 3 people arrived, and then the elevator opened and two people stepped out and the others go in. the scene is only about 2 - 3 minutes, depends on the elevator, but believe me, it takes us 7 shots! i was one of the first 2 (who was waiting in front of the elevator).

first and foremost, we did a rehearsal. the director said it was okay, except that we need to be closer to the elevator. so, ok, the real shoots took place. y'know what? i was so silly coz i get all nervous. i was just afraid i might giggle or worst still - laugh - in front of the camera. hv to take a deep breath before the director says "action!" ok, it works and i thought all was ok. but then, the director was not that satisfied so we had to do it all over again. this time, i borrowed my colleague's handbag so that it looks more realistic. and plus, standing there, in front of the camera without anything to hold makes me feel all weird. ok, the elevator's coming, and then when it opened, instead of two people stepping out, there are 4 of them so we cant help but let out an "eiiii..." silly! director said "cut!" hehehehhh... that's the 2nd shot.

again.... in front of the elevator... the elevator came... suddenly "cut! Boom nampak!" - the mic man held the mic so low it entered the screen... oh dear... that was the 3rd shot. and then, start all over again, by this time, i was getting a bit relaxed. ok, the elevator is at the 4th floor, the director said, "action!" but then the elevator went to the 5th floor. "aiyaaa.... cut!" start all over again... i'm getting tired. hmmm... that was the 4th shot... and then this time, all of us are determined to give the best - so that we can go back to work. ok, "roll camera, action!" all was silent, suddenly "kok-kok-koooooo-kok", "CUT!!!" yerrrr.... somebody forgot to put their cellphone to silent mode, and the rooster ringtone is so not cool... huh... i can't believe it! that was the 5th shot!

now on to the 6th shot! everything went well and as soon as we stepped in the elevator and the door closed, all of us released a (very) loud laugh - reliefed that finally we manage to make a good shot! but hold it! that was only the 6th shot. we were told that when they played back the shot, the laugh (inside the elevator) can actually be heard! arghhhh!!!! by this time, i decided that i hate acting! it was fun though... so the 7th shot, it was all good! i feel euphoric but i dont think acting is for me.

so... that's all... clap! clap! clap!

in need of a good long rest

3 words : I AM SLEEPY

noooo... not "sleepy" as in "the seven dwarves" :-D.

lazy to write today

just wanted to say thanks to yon and mrbadak for the info on saturday's incident. hmmm... sleepy oooo....

Virus Outbreak???

something weird happened yesterday

as soon as i got to the office, one of my lady officer said that there's something wrong with her pc - hang, but she said she didnt want to do anything coz it's a MIMOS pc and we decided to wait for MIMOS technician to arrive. but then, another officer said that his pc is also having the same problem... then another one... then another... and by this time, the MIMOS technicians has arrived and their pc also hv the exact same problem. wahhh... this is baddd... really baddd... maybe virus. and then "truttt-trutttt", "kring-kring", "trrrrtt-trrrttt" - suddenly, all the phones were ringing and all reported the same problem that my colleagues hv... and i dunno but maybe it's just a coincidence, all pc were of MIMOS brand so we thought, maybe there's something wrong with MIMOS brand pc... but then, come to think of it, I AM using a MIMOS pc and i dont hv that problem... and mine was up since the day before yesterday - bcos i forgot to shut it down hehehehhh... and dzulfatah (one of our technicians) also using MIMOS pc and he also doesnt hv problems. and not long after that, some compaq pc in out training room also got this problem.

so, the first thing we did was checked trendmicro's website - to see whether there's a new outbreak but... NONE! and then symantec - also NONE! and then visit Microsoft - NONE! checked the other antivirus websites that we could think of, NONE fits the symptoms. tried to visit Jaring's website - down. hmmm... wonder what's really happening...

then, David of ITH came and we told him about this. normally, he'd hv info on latest virus outbreak coz he has his "resources" but then, he said he's also not aware of this and promise that he'll check with his "resources". after a few minutes, he said "Red Alert! New virus outbreak but still under investigation. seems to be affecting PCs with Windows XP SP 2. so far, Windows 98s are safe" waaahhh... apa lagi we all... kelam-kabut mengarang "Virus Allert Notice" bcos we couldnt use e-mail, so we faxed a hard copy announcement to all department/schools/units/institutes. hopefully they can put it up on their noticeboard as soon as possible. since we dont know anything about this virus yet, the best advie we can give them is to unplug their network cable - even though i'm sure all the "cerdik-pandai" (extra-smart) people out there are stubborn and wouldnt even pay attention to such notice. and then, when they get infected, they'll be blaming us! arghhhhh!!! it's so hard to work with this kind of people!

by the way, was there really a virus outbreak??? if so, then how come right until this minute, there are still no info available from any website??? if there's really a major virus attack, it would be all over the news by now so... any idea???

mrbadak? are you reading this right now? do you hv any info on this???

mac??? anything from your side???

i've learned that KKIPCom was also hit by this "strange outbreak" coz i've read it at my friend's blog. she works there...

anybody else???

hmmm strange....

Lion

Imagine you are in Africa. You have been tied hanging on a tree with a rope anchored on the ground, a candle is slowly burning the rope, and the lion is waiting for you to drop and be his lunch. Your survival hinges on the rope staying intact, there is no one around to help you. The only possible way is to somehow convince the lion to BLOW the candle out. How do you do that?





and i really think constantine maroulis looks like aragorn

and i think bo bice will be the next american idol, or carrie underwood, or vonzell solomon... anyway, i think these three will make it to the top three

and i think and really hate the fact that anwar robinson was voted off... i mean... this show is starting to be like akademi fantasia where all the best performers were being voted off and those who are "not that good" are still in - like A.F and S.S (u know who they are)... geeshh... i was really hoping that anwar could make it at least to the top five, but too bad...

and i think constantine is just okay - he has the x factor so i'm not surprised he's been getting quite a lot of votes. i wont even be surprised if america voted him to be the next american idol - but still i think bo bice is the best and he deserves to win

and i think if carrie underwood doesnt make it, she will still get herself a recording deal and i'll definitely be one of her fans

and i think it's not impossible for vonzell solomon to be as big as beyonce or whitney or the likes one day

and i think i've been doing enough "think"-ing and i should stop now

*ok, stop it!*

oo... i was about to stop here but i hv one more thing to say before i call it a day... did you notice that square thingy below my profile? the one with the cute picture and blinking border that tells you the date today and the time now? yerrr... so cute kannnn???? well, why dont get one for yourself here. a lot of cute images available... go laaa...

Baby Talk

finished my work so i'm free for a while

wanted to post some photos taken with my phone camera but i forgot to bring the data cable so, maybe 2nite lah.

y'know what? i almost give up on my phone (its a Samsung SGH-E630C), almost traded it in with the new Samsung SGH-D500 bcos, ok, my phone comes with a camera and i've been taking a lot of picture but the thing is, i couldnt transfer the pictures anywhere. my phone's infra-red couldnt communicate with other phones and eventhough my pc can detect my phone (oya, we even bought the infra-red thingy for our pc), i wasnt able to transfer anything, pc to phone or phone to pc. been looking everywhere for the cable link but couldnt find any. and my phone also has a melody composer but i dunno how to use it. but at last, i found the cable link at Izzacom (Wisma Merdeka) and it cost me 80 bucks. i dont care, better than trading the phone in and having to add another 1000++ for a new phone.

oya, actually today i wanted to blog about ellone

she loves nursery rhymes and i think she's learning to talk (so early??? hehehhh)

i bought a few nursery rhymes books and for the past two weeks, i've been singing them to her at night, before she sleeps. and guess what? she sings along! her favorites are Mary Had A Little Lamb, Baa Baa Black Sheep and London Bridge.

mimi : Baa baa black sheep have you any wool
baby : aaaaa aaa wuuuu

hehehehh...

last night, her grand-auntie came and say "Helloooo! Hellooo!!" baby goes "aaaoooo", when grand-auntie say "haiiii" she goes "aaaieeee"

do you think she's learning to talk? i'd love to think so.

even when jnr snores, baby goes "khroohhh khroohh"

but she's not even 3 months old and she couldnt posibbly talk yet. hehehehhh... silly me!

aiya... penyakit malas menyerang!!

suddenly so lazy to type

later lah peeps!

bye

*hit publish post*

10:00 am Break

i dunno whether this still applies but govt (& semi-govt) staffs hv a half an hour break at 10:00 a.m

so, i'm taking a break

if i dont, i'll burst into tiny bits and pieces!

y'know what? right now, i'm on the verge of banging my head to the wall. arghhh!!! i've squeezed my brain juice dry trying to figure out a solution to this job i'm currently doing. have i mentioned that i'm maintaining a human resource system that has actually gone haywire? thanks to the previous programmer(s), they did a great job f**king up this HRM system. can u imagine? what kind of programmer would name fields like "untitled", "untitled1","untitled2", "untitled_1_1" and God knows how many more untitled fields in there. and poor me, hv to clean up before those stupid people! this is insulting to programmers like *ehem* me. if they called themselves "computer programmers", then they should've known that they CANNOT name any field as UNTITLED. Hey you previous programmer(s) to UMS HRM System, you should be ashamed of yourself!

and the user(s), being the very UN-TECHNICAL & UN-IT LITERATE people on the face of earth, keeps asking me to create something very emm... advanced with the system - usually something to do with connecting two different databases. Cakap sinang laaa... the problem with this equally stupid people was that they just dont understand just how messed up the system already is and the things they're asking are almost imposibble. but luckily they hv someone like *ehem* me yg mempunyai tahap kesabaran melebihi manusia biasa :-P actually, it can be done. after spending more than 5 yrs in this industry, i've come to learn that there's always a solution to a problem (comp. programming related) as long as it is logical and it really helps to hv a proper naming convention and proper documentations.

ok, at the very moment, i'm test-running my codings... looks ok...so far so good... YESSSS!!! IT WORKS!!!! lala lalala lala la la la..... Yayyy!!!! ok now, time to work on the cosmetic side...

OK... I'm Not Dead Yet

so far... nobody called asking me about that "stupid something".

and hopefully, nobody would notice

just to take my mind off that "stupid something", here are some updates on what i've been up to / what've been happening for the last few days.

update no. 1
my 2 months maternity leave has finally come to an end and i am back to work. first day at work, switched on my pc and confidently clicked on internet explorer... i was greeted by the dns error page. ok... and i clicked on control panel, clicked on network connection and there's nothing there. so, i was like "eh? where's my local area connection?" ok... and then i right-clicked on my computer, clicked on properties, clicked on hardware, then device manager and "aik??? no network adapter???" ishhh... cannot be... so, i did whatever i think i should do - being the IT personel i am - nothing worked. finally, i had to make a report to the technician. the pc i'm using at work is actually one of the pc leased by M***S so, if there's anything wrong with the pc, we're not supposed to fix them eventhough we know how. must report to their technician and wait for them. but there are only three of them and they're taking care of the whole UMS so, i just got to be patient. to cut my story short, my pc was finally working after 3 days bcos eventhough the network card driver was already installed, i still wasnt able to access the internet > technician said hv to format the pc so backup all your important files/data > wanted to backup all the files/data i needed to cd but no nero > installed nero but still cd-writer not working > figured out that cd-writer is not working :-P bcos wrong driver > no choice hv to backup to D:\ > technician formatted pc and everything looks ok > suddenly, network adapter disappeared again > made another report > technician changed network card > done! phew!!! and all that took three days.

update no. 2
on a happy note, guess who bought a new apartment??? :-D hehehehhhh... yes!!! u guessed right! WE BOUGHT AN APARTMENT!! of course it is still under construction and will only be completed on Dec 2007. please be reminded, apartments are not condos but also, not flats. it's actually just a small apartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms but that's just what we need for our small family. the apartments are developed by Wong Kwok Group and in Sabah, if it's developed by Wong Kwok Group, then it's one of the best!

Why did we choose that apartment and not others like Beverly Hills Apartments (yes, we hv beverly hills in KK), City Apartments, Melinsung Summer Bay or Country Heights? Bcos, University Apartments has the most strategic location in KK. it's only about 3 minutes drive from UMS - the place where i work, the federal house beside UMS is almost completed, beside the apartment is the proposed site for the new Tshung Tsin High School - where i intended to send Ellone for high school, but of course she will have the rights to choose which school she likes, i heard the one borneo hyper mall is going to be build somewhere near the place, etc etc. i can foresee that in five years time, this area is going to be one of the busiest section of KK. anyway, say later we decided that we dont really like living there, we can always move back to jnr's house in penampang and just rent out the apartment. over the years, i've come to learn that buying properties is never a waste bcos the value increase over time; unlike cars > value decrease.

update no. 3
let's have a short update on elaine's wedding. both church ceremony and reception went well, both bride and groom (and even the moms) look stunningly beautiful/handsome. they're really a lovely couple, too bad i dont have their photos. i'll post one as soon as i get a copy. jnr was really good at being the wedding cordinator; maybe we should consider ding business as a wedding planner hehehehhh... but seriously, i think it's a good idea. elaine even mentioned jnr's name and thanked him during her impromptu speech at the reception. she looked pretty nervous, thanking all guests for coming, thanking all relatives for lending a helping hand on her big day and keep apologizing for being late :-) reminds me of our wedding reception, jnr delivered a speech and even though he has prepared the text, i really think he's forgotten to thank his mom :-)

update no. 4
ellone and cherry's latest photo

our ellone



cherry : one of elaine's flowergirls



cherry : all-grown-up pose :-)



update no. 5
i hv finally found a place to host my website. Yippee!!! why am i so happy? bcos it's so cheap! i only paid RM40(domain) + RM45(hosting)= RM85 (USD$11 ++) for one year!!! yayyyyy!!! where? visit AnjungCafe.

so guys, if you can excuse me, i gotta go, i have a lot of unpacking to do - now that i'm moving to a new place! see y'all in a few days!

cheers!!!

I'm Gonna Be Soooo DEAD!!!!

i feel like crying

why?

bcos today, i'm stupid

again

i... mmm... erghhhh!!!!!

i did something stupid just now but i cant blog about it!!! (that's why sometimes i prefer to be anonymous)

and i know i'm going to be SOOOO DEAD after this!

somebody please just kill me this instant! i want to disappear *POOF* vanish! HELPPPP!!!!!

Time In A Bottle

If I could save Time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

why did i never heard this wonderful song before? the lyrics are just poetically beautiful and the melodies are acoustically terrific! thanks to bo bice (american idol 4) for singing this song, otherwise, i wouldnt hv heard of it. i love this song! i really do!

went to take family photos at nita (my aunt) today. our very first family photo... did i mention that i've straightened my hair? looks better that way - i mean my hair. easy to manage, i dont have to brush/comb them, just run my fingers through and they'll be in place. i'll be going back to work starting monday and i dont think i'll hv enough time to do anything with my hair, y'know, now that i hv ellone.

we're going to hv a bz weekend this week bcos jnr's cousin (elaine) is getting married. among all the first cousins, jnr's the eldest and the 1st one to get married. elaine's the second one and jnr unofficially appointed as the "wedding planner" *lol* just bcos we've been there before - at least we already know what to do, who's doing what and etc - especially for the church ceremony. so... yeah... jnr will be bz with all that and i'll be bz attending ellone.

seeing somebody getting married reminds me of our wedding. ours was not a perfect wedding but of course it's the best day of my life! since i came from a different town, we had two receptions; one at tambunan (my hometown) and one in KK. i guess i'm lucky bcos my father is so used to organising big functions/events so, not much of a headache there. but during the reception in KK, we had a huge headache! our guests overshoot the 800 seatings that we've allocated - we need at least another 20 tables (10 seatings each) but we cant coz the ballroom can only accomodate 85 tables the most. so, what we did was, we add in another 5 tables and we add extra two seatings for each tables - 12 seatings per table. that solved the problem but then, another big headache on arranging the seatings, who sits with who and who cant be on the same table with who and so on. and we were even late for the reception, guests are already waiting. anyway, at the end of the day... all is well and i'm just glad it's over.

what???!! 1:31 a.m?!!! i need to go to sleep..
ok, g'nite & sweet dreams...

*if i could save time in a bottle, la la la la la la laaaa...*
