In the last episode we stopped when Mathan was saying :-
Anyway after it ended i followed my parents home and then........................................
......I and my sister packed up and we went to Cyberjaya. Left at 12:30 am. I reached MMU about 1:35am like this after a slow drive while chatting with my sister. Luckily we were still in a chatty mood and i didn't feel so tired. Finally reached cyber and dropped my sister. Like i said in the earlier post i had almost cancelled my plan to meet the guys. But when i called them at 12:30 they were still active so i decided to go spend a few hours there. Called up pei tze and she agreed to go too. So, after picking her up we both went to Serdang where all hell broke loose. Everything was going fine and the usual jokes happening and people being surprised to see Pei Tze cause they thought only i was going.
And then Boon Hong, squirted his printer ink all over his area. This area was including his specs, nearby folded table, monitor and things were really funny. We were not yet done laughing and Ping was taking a footage of what happened when Adrian dropped a mug in the kitchen and chipped it. Jane was the first to go to analyse what had happened to it and stuff. We have a footage of that as well. Sigh!~ And then i was just listening to music and stuff for awhile. I went to talk to Adrian about my job and he was interested in what i was saying. Suddenly Pei Tze came in and said something like "us girls are gonna get drunk!" Ahahaa...funny part was we couldn't find the corkscrew. Jane had to ask Elly about it, and no need to say, what he heard she wanted was something totally different. Elly oh ellY!~
Finally we got it open and had a taste. Too dry...=p. I saw it's effects on Pei Tze clearly though. Especially when we were playing prince of persia. Ahahah.....better not describe it la. One thing for sure. She had loads of fun playing. Later she was studying and me was watching football with the guys. Jane and Ping were trying to sleep, in the hall where the TV is. I really did not understand the logic behind that. Anyway i shared some beer with Elly during the match. So yeah, i was feeling nice and warm myself. At soccer halftime, i wanted to go online in the room. At that point, Pei Tze went camera-crazy. I joined her. It was total digital clicking mayhem. We really went crazy. Loads of fun.
Finally decided to leave at 6am as i needed to get back b4 my dad went to work. Even then i had to cause a little scene by leaving the house without taking the car keys. =P...Sent Pei Tze back and then i was driving home to Klang la. This is when my day took a nosedive so to speak. Got into a little accident and my car's driver door got dented and unable to open fully. Yeah, i scrapped the metal divider on the 3rd lane. (Still i dunno how i got there) Well, anyway the accident totally woke me up cause i hit my head on the seat belt thing that is attached beside the door and triangular in shape. I am writing now and i can still feel it. The Pain!~ =(..One lucky thing about the accident was the fact that nothing else was near me when i lost control.
My parents were too tired and they both didn't go to work when i reached home. This was the best news la. Of all things i should have just stayed in Serdang longer and get some sleep. At least i could have avoided the accident. But, anyway everything happens for a reason. And i went to sleep with the headache at about 7:30. About 26 hours after i woke up the earlier morning of the Longest Day.............ehehehe...now who wouldn't like to be in MY shoes =)
Whoever reads this blog, bewarned! I think i will be visiting Serdang one more time on Saturday. Let's go Crash their PLACE together!!!~~

The Longest day of my Life
Well i am now going to write about the 22nd of February, 2005.
It is my Guruji's birthday. As such, there were 2 special prayers planned. One in Batu Caves, done by some of the main volunteers and a lot of people were invited. Next, was in Batang Berjuntai and this was a special prayer undertook by our group only.
Well, I woke up at 5+ in the morning, did the meditation and then we were on our way to Batu Caves. Reached there just in time as the prayers started. They were quite elaborate prayers, starting at the little temple at the bottom of the stairs and then we walked up the 272 steps to pray at the main temple inside the caves. Of course it was worth it, because we got to witness something that can only be witnessed usually during Thaipusam. We then got back home and rested. About 3 plus, after my aunt arrived all of us took the 2 cars and drove to Batang Berjuntai. It was a very VERY long drive to get there and i was driving my aunt's car behind my dad. My sister and cousin were in the car and we were having a lively chat.
The interesting part happens once we got to the temple. We were told a few things. One was the history of the temple itself. It seems many years ago a yogi was meditating in the spot where the temple is now built. Then it was just a forest of oil palms. Hanuman appeared to him in his meditation. Hanuman told the yogi that he wanted a place to rest in his travels in that part of the jungle. As such a Hanuman temple was built in the area. For those chinese people, Hanuman is the name of the indian Monkey God. He is famous as a follower and disciple of Rama in the epic Ramayana.
Next thing we were told was the fact that whenever anyone starts doing something for his Guru. The more important and complicated the task is, the MORE there is bound to be problems and obstacles to test the faith of the disciples. This is a known fact. What we need to do is totally focus on what needs to be completed and stick to it. Why? the results would be rewarding to us many fold. In this case, the first priest that was supposed to conduct the prayers suddenly quit. Our leader didn't lose heart. He just went on and found another priest at the 11th hour. Interesting part was THIS last minute priest knew exactly how to conduct prayers for a Guru and specifically told us what needed to be prepared. A blessing in disguise?
Next, the prayers were supposed to be from 4-8 pm. It started at 7:40 pm and went right up till 11.30pm when we finally left the temple. The priest was delayed by terrible traffic jams in KL side. It was a real test of faith as the delay was a huge one and the temple was in the middle of the jungle. No fringe entertainments. I stepped up to help when i saw another young guy walking around preparing everything. It was really fun so to speak as i knew a lot of the people that were there. But still, it was very tiring.
In the meantime however, my frens were having dinner back here in serdang and i had to cancel my intentions of going back to meet those guys even though i promised. But, who knows what other more important matters were other members missing while being stuck there like me. Yeah....before i forget. 2 more miracles that happened in the temple. One, the monkeys that inhabit the place. According to the person in charge the monkeys will always be inside the compounds of the temple. Two, as it was a jungle there was supposed to be lots of mosquitoes. None of these 2 bothered us at all.
Conclusion, i don't think i have been to any prayers that is stronger than this particular prayer. I absolutely cherished being given the chance to take part as a volunteer. Anyway after it ended i followed my parents home and then........................................(to be continued)

Mathan Gets a Job!~
Well,
Guess what, i think i have a job now. Just need to make sure about some transportation hiccups. But after that i should be ok la. The directors of this new startup company actually met me in person and we worked something out already. The idea is new and its bright. So, i am gonna vote myself in until they vote me out.
I have to say thanks to my mother who actually helped me to find this job. But, the point is she reacted a bit wierdly. Malas la. This is why i wanted to apply and do it on my own. Now that she is involved and her fren is involved in helping me, things are more complicated. I have to say for my part though that the guy really is showing me a good deal. All i have to do is first, show him i am an incredible sales and marketing addition to the company. Next, i will have to follow it up by showing him i am an incredible human resource guy and trainer. Sounds like a challenge ya!?~ Ehehehe....i love challenges. This is what i am made for... Talking about mum though, she is talking like i should think about skipping jobs when something better comes along. The point is i have waited for like what? 3 months and an offer like i am getting now is not even really for someone at my level. This is a GREAT offer. I have to wonder what else would possibly be able to TOP this offer.
I have to thank a friend that asked me to Pray and also called to Wish me Luck just before the interview. I'll tell you again, it means a lot to me. Thanks ya!!~~
Well, what else to say. I cannot think of anything more important than the fact i got a job.

I am in Cyberjaya - Part 2
Good morning world!!~
Ok, i am finally up and running again. Last night was such a happy outing to remember. Me, Ben and Pei Tze went to Sunway Pyramid. They bought some stuff for themselves. Next i have to say that i am a bit unsatisfied when i realise the main reason for us to go out was to get Thai food. But, we didn't end up 'crying' over spicy tomyam. Since we were inPyramid, we went to eat at Stonegrill. Interesting outlet. Something is just not so catchy about the shop's deco as compared to the other places nearby it. But i have to agreee that the concept is novel.
We get to cook our own food and eat it when we feel it's ready. How we cook it? There is a rock with temperature of about 400 degrees celcius in the middle of the plate. Cut up the meat, throw it on the plate and let the magic unfold.
After pyramid we went to play pool at Cafe 7. Started off with foozball when we had to wait for a table. Damn fun versus , pei tze. I lost...and i didn't mind since it's not a game that i practice playing. But, it was a bit of a overkill when Ben and pei tze both teamed up against me la. Finally pool time came. I have to say that for some strange reason, maybe the way the stars are aligned, or maybe the some feng shui was good about the place, or maybe me and ben had angered the pool gods, ended up pei tze.....:-s...kept winning...She actually trashed us (me n ben). It was a dark day in the history of pool. Because she did it all after saying she was 'rusty' summore. Anyway, at least she had great fun and had a cheery look while me and ben were walking around with a long face. There was BALANCE achieved.
To soften the blow of dying in pool. We went to the mamak to makan and minum. Had satay which was ok , unfortunately the sauce not so nice...=(...watched the second half of DieHard2 movie which was playing on Star Movies. And got back to MMU....
Now i am going on my next round of meet the frens session. Hahahaha....!!~~So, i shall post up more stuff later.

I am in Cyberjaya - Part 1
Well, i am not going to go into details of who i met where when on campus. But, i have to say that being back on campus is like nothing ever passed in the last few months. I can ease myself back in so naturally. Of course people that are seeing me walking campus grounds doesn't seem to feel the same way. They all are asking about me and my job (non-existant as my fan club thats reading this blog faithfully knows) I am just a lost soul back to meet the rest of the lost souls.
Why can't they accept the visit in good faith and leave the failures i am experiencing in the outside world out of the topic of conversation.
Anyway, i cannot say anything also since it IS my fault for not getting a job. Well, therefore i have to undergo all the scrutiny. Ehehehe....anyway for the moment i have to log off soon i guess since the next plan of the night is going to makan, shopping and pool. Who else if not with the gang.....eheeh. Cya guys later...

Constantine
I have to admit that i see a lot of my fellow bloggers using a lot of colours to spice up their sites. Therefore, i am using the assummed colour of HELL for this post. Assumed because i have not seen it for myself yet. If i did see HELL with my own eyes then i would be able to make a post in a more accurate colour. Provided i actually came BACK after seeing la.
Anyway, why all this talk about HELL? Simple. Look at the title guys. I love the movie and i feel the simple attraction of the movie is NOTHING seems to be exaggerated. I watched it twice and i enjoyed and laughed at all the jokes. Both times. Simple dry humour. It doesn't make u think too much, unless u have been contemplating to commit suicide. At that note, u might have a change of heart. If u have been smoking a lot, also u might have a change of heart. Yeap, this movie is a number one anti-smoking campaign battleship.
I guess i will stop the spoilers at this point. It's a great movie to watch when u go in without any expectations. So, i will not give any more expectations through my posting. So, back to Earth....
Hehehehe, i watched the movie twice in the last 3 days. Once with my sister. Again with a couple of friends of mine. Sometimes, i have to say that what we plan never happens. Or what we're looking forward to actually ends up being completely different.
I am talking about the last 2 days. In fact, I was supposed to go to a frens house in PJ on saturday. and then another house in Melaka on sunday. Both plans tak jadi at the last minute. Saturday cause fren's family busy so i couldn't go over. Sunday plan was cancelled cause another fren crashed his car. He wrote in his SMS "my car slide through a divider" I still have no idea how the hell can that happen but, forgive a guy experiencing accident trauma la. A Crash might just be a 'slide through' from his point of view.
When he bailed out there were only 4 of us left to go to melaka. One of the four got drunk the night before so there was only 3 of us left. In the end, Don and I went to Ben's place. And i have to admit, Ben's grandma cooking is simply out of this world. Super nice.....(drooolzzzz~~~!!) After that, i convinced them to go watch Constantine.
Anyway, guess what is the latest update. Mathan is going to Cyberjaya again tonight. While writing this post i was chatting with a fren and one thing led to another and i guess tonight i would be meeting a lot of people eheheehe.....or mostly tomorrow la. MUahahahaah!!~~
Sure got lots of interesting stuff to be added in the next 2 nights.

To explain the Fellowship a bit
Well, i started this whole post as a comment to Don's posting. After that i liked it and i had less time to think of something new for the post i had to make in my own blog. So, i just copied it and pasted it here....and made some alterations.
Oh yes there is a Fellowship on Malay-Earth, Fate hath bound us together in the blasted lands of Shyber-Jeya. A beacon of techno-worldly sciences, in our quest for wisdom we sought it for various personal reasons.
Ultimately we found one another and the Fellowship was formed and forged. Our ranks increased in strength and wisdom and we did suffer loss (~~Peace be unto your soul, Mak Tai Kuen! There never was a dull moment when u were around~~)
And as every meeting ultimately has a parting, we are now at that point. Yet, we know the partition in space would not hamper nor decay the works of the forging fires of friendship in the ivory towers.
Fare well in all your endeavours my dear friends. Especially, those of you that come into these blogging circles and read my stuff....;) Take care u all. Bye bye!~

Mathan is gonna cook - Aftermath
OK last night i was just too busy after cooking to blog it in....
Let me see. What happened at the first? i went to the local store to get some stuff. Got japanese tauhu, mix vege, cauliflower, 2 eggs, cream of mushroom soup instant pack and a loaf of bread for today's breakfast. Altogether i spent about RM8 only.
Came back took shower and did my Meditation. The timing to wait before eating would be perfect because I could estimate about one hour in the kitchen.
I started by heating up the oil.....and then left it to heat for too long cause i was a bit lost as to which dish to start cooking first. Decided to steal my mum's already seasoned fish from the fridge and just fry it. I knew to be careful with hot oil and all that. What could i do if the fish decided to dive in rite? Now i have a 5 centimetre black mark above my right ankle where the oil splashed. Lesson learnt: DO NOT STEAL FROM YOUR OWN MUM....
Fish fried quickly. Next, i cut the tauhu and the cauliflower and then suddenly felt lost about where to actually add the cauliflower. Decided to finish up the tauhu first. Threw one into the oil to see what happens. Seriously i have never seen anyone do it before and i was totally clueless as to how fast it gets cooked. Saw to my relief that on a slow fire it does take some time. And then i dropped the whole lot in .....belatedly realising that there was NOT enough oil for them all. DAMN!~~ OK, simple thing ....just add more oil la. In a while they started frying. I prepared the egg in the meanwhile and i added soy sauce and salt to it. I made a mistake here. I think i should have dashed the soy sauce later and just added the salt at this point. Cause in the end only the egg tasted salty. The taste didn't spread fully to the tauhu and the mix vege. Oh and the whole mix was a bit too oily for my own liking. Next time, need to estimate the oil correctly.
Anyway, the cream of mushroom soup was darn simple as i had the instant pack. I just had to Boil it all in. However, i added some mix vege to it and finally threw the cauliflowers in there to make my very own cream of cauliflower soup. Jeng~~Jeng jeng!!~...this was a great dish. I loved every bit of it and think i was right in adding the extra ingredients as they gave variety to the dish.
Oh i forgot the rice. Here i was thinking the rice would come out a masterpiece as it is really damn simple to cook. Unfortunately, i put in a little too much water....>_<''...so, my rice turned out a prototype between normal rice and porridge. Looked like rice, but stuck to the spoon like glue when i scooped it to the plate.
Anyway like Pei Tze joked, now i have increased my cooking skill points. Ehehe...i think i might just do it a few more times as the Sizzing Tauhu almost turned out rite also. OK people and of course the best part of all, i am still here sitting and typing to u all without any problems so my cooking is edible and u can SUrvivE aahahaah....try it one day ya..;)....alrite, signing off for now until something interesting happens in my life.
P.S: Anybody want to watch a creepy anime? Try "St. Luminious Mission High School" The way they keep u questioning WHY!?!!?!? and not be able to figure out the puzzle is uncanny.

Oh and the whole mix was a bit too oily for my own liking. Next time, need to estimate the oil correctly.
Anyway, the cream of mushroom soup was darn simple as i had the instant pack. I just had to Boil it all in. However, i added some mix vege to it and finally threw the cauliflowers in there to make my very own cream of cauliflower soup. Jeng~~Jeng jeng!!~
Oh i forgot the rice. Here i was thinking the rice would come out a masterpiece as it is really damn simple to cook. Unfortunately, i put in a little too much water....>_<''...so, my rice turned out a prototype between normal rice and porridge. Looked like rice, but stuck to the spoon like glue when i scooped it to the plate.
Anyway like Pei Tze joked, now i have increased my cooking skill points. Ehehe...i think i might just do it a few more times as the Sizzing Tauhu almost turned out rite also. OK people and of course the best part of all, i am still here sitting and typing to u all without any problems so my cooking is edible and u can SUrvivE aahahaah....try it one day ya..;)....alrite, signing off for now until something interesting happens in my life.
P.S: Anybody want to watch a creepy anime? Try "St. Luminious Mission High School" The way they keep u questioning WHY!?!!?!? and not be able to figure out the puzzle is uncanny.
