“My Best Friend’s Wedding – Part II”

I’m really really sorry guys because I’m pretty much uptight here. I’ve not been able to drop down by your blogs for the past few days but I promise you that I will drop by once I’m not that busy. As promised, here are some of the pictures from the wedding dinner.

Date : 12th January 2008
Venue : Dynasty Hotel, Miri
Time : 7:30 pm

Love the sword. Classic!

Champagne supernova?

“CONGRATULATIONS TO DENTONEL MISSA & CAROLYN KUBUK TAWAI” 

 

“My Best Friend’s Wedding”

I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don’t have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It’s beyond my control
I’ve waited so long to say this to you
If you’re asking do I love you this much
I do

And that is the only thing that can describe what I witnessed on Saturday, 12th of January 2008. Finally Carol got married. There goes the last of the Cibol’s angels. It was really a surprised for me when I received a phone call back a few months ago. That was when she told me that she is getting married. She sounds overjoyed that finally they were given the nod by both families to tie the knot. Sweet, one word to describe.

I took the 7:30 pm bus straight after work on Friday. I don’t want to be late for the church wedding the next day. I arrived in Miri at about almost midnight. Jerry picked me up from Pujut Bus Terminal. It was really late I tell you and I was damn starving. Upon reaching home, Texas what we called it. (Pujut padang Kerbau – the name of the place I stayed) I went straight to bed.

The morning I woke up around 6:45 am. Been trying to call Carol but nobody pick up. Guess what? I forgot the time for the wedding. I went there as early as 8:30 am just to find out that it’s actually 10:00 am. Next time, jot it down. Lesson to be learn cibol.

Don’t ask me why but I like this picture

Lovely aren’t they?

Guys, as for now I’ll just leave you with just these. A little exhausted here. I’ll try my best to put up some pics tomorrow. Good night!

 

“The B-Sides”

It’s holiday again. You know, I start to think that actually bank employees have lotsa cuti ; Not just annual leave but the public holidays and that once in a month leave sorts of holidays but today is a public holiday and I’m at home relaxing, reading blogs and of course writing this entry with my own sweet time.

The past few days I’ve been busy arranging my holidays, applying for leaves as I think I’ll be doing a lot of going places in the next few months. I planned for only the first half of the year that is up till June. I’m glad that my February leave was given a nod by my boss yesterday meaning I will be in KL from the 21-24 of February. Yay!

My two famous intentions for being in KL that time is :

Jay Chou World Tour 2008: Malaysia

I missed a lot of concerts while I’m back at home. Part of the reasons was I was unemployed for almost 10 months before I got my current job and another reason is that I am far away from KL which makes life a little difficult to attend concerts. The last gig that I went to was when Incubus was in town. That was back in 2004. Boy! I love that gig!

I actually got this news from a friend saying that Jay Chou will be in KL. How cool is that? I straight away called bongkersz and guess what? He said got 5 extra tickets, I grabbed one! End of story!

And the second one is :

I’ll turn 26. I’m no Kenny Sia and I’m not going to hold a birthday bash on that day but I’d love celebrate that with all of my friends that I’ve missed so much over the years. And yes it’s you, you, you and all of you!

I’ve yet to think of a place to meet up yet but I’ll let you guys know about it soon enough. This is getting so exciting. I just can’t wait. That would be one helluva week for me!

This coming weekend I will be in Miri again for Carol’s wedding. I’ve been trying to figure out what to wear that night. Haven’t got the time to do my shopping just yet and the wedding is like in a few days! Wah .. I actually ditched my company’s Family Day & Annual Retreat for that wedding. Believe me, it does takes a lot of brainstorming just to get an excuse to not to go for that but I’m happy I survived!

P/S : Zewt, Congrats on you getting married before you reach 30 and bald 😉

 

“A Year Older, A Year Wiser”

Yay!

Looks like we made it
Look how far we’ve come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we’d get there someday

No, I’m not having a new girlfriend. I already have a lot. That’s a headache. Besides, like the said – It’s a game, survival of the fittest. It’s a game of total manipulation of emotions. It’s either you lead or you follow – Wise words, my friends.

On this day, 8th January 2007 – “A Life Less Ordinary” was given a new life on wordpress. Thanks to bongkersz and drumsticks for pressing me to move to a new home on wordpress. I’m glad that I made that choice.

It’s been a great year for me and also this blog and to be finally celebrating the first anniversary of me setting my foot on wordpress is a wonderful feeling. Earlier on when I first started on wordpress, I brought some of my friends from me old ye blogger blog, which I finally deleted yesterday because I found it of no use and I think I need to thank Lynnwei for the technorati post. I totally forgot that I actually have a technorati account until I read that post.

Amongst those who’ve I’ve acquainted during my blogger days were Lynnx01, Mar, Kim, Jing, drumsticks and bongkersz to name a few and also not to mention Lola – at the moment having the same problem with Josh Lim – (sewa rumah tak bayar). I’m so blessed to have these people who have been hanging out by my blog and it sort of giving me the push to keep on blogging. Thanks a bunch guys.

The year 2007 have brought in – zewt, keeyit, cbenc12, sean, AceOne118, Dr Bernard Chan & Jonzz (My Warbook Sifoos), Beeean, Daniel, Horny Ang Moh, Kenny, Jamy, Man-D, . It is a great pleasure to have known you guys and to know that you guys do hang out here is an honour for me.

And then as you can see now my blogroll have expanded. Towards the end of the year I made new blogger friends – Bengbeng, MongkeyWong, -MB-, angel and ahBong.

Through the years, I think I do learnt a lot. I’m trying to compare myself with what I was back 3 years ago when first started blogging. I’m not saying that I am now good but at least I see some improvements in me. I’ve learnt a lot from blogs that I read, comments that I’ve received and it’s really a blessing for me.

Well, cheers to the 1st Anniversary of A Life Less Ordinary.

“Of Domain and Bintulu Waterfront”

I was thinking of getting myself a domain. I think it’s about time since everyone have been moving into new place and I’m still stuck here. So, I thought having my own domain would be super sexy cool. Trying to search for it just now and I found out that I can’t have cibol as a domain. All the cibols are taken! dot.com, dot.net, dot.org and the only thing that is not taken is dot.biz! And to have a dot.biz is kinda not so cheap though.

1. http://cibol.com – A dating site
2. http://cibol.net – An IT solutions company in India
3. http://cibol.org – Welcome to the home page of Cibol Foundation

So lucky that there’s no porn site named cibol, if not I’ll be quite famous.

So, maybe it will not be cibol then. I’ll think of something else. So as for now, it will remain as a secret that I could not tell.

By the way, I spent this evening with Bryan and Tim at the newly built Bintulu Waterfront. It was said to be the longest in Sarawak and personally I think it’s the most beautiful also. I didn’t get a nice picture of it so I decided to google for the pics from flickr and guess what? I found it there. Enjoy the sight-seeing!

Shit, I have to work tomorrow.

 

“Beer Bong Song ….. “

Don’t tell me I never promote your blog okay!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you

Dude, this beer bong song is especially dedicated to you. A friend in need and a friend in deed. Eventhough sometimes and most probably most of the times you talk craps but your craps makes sense. Dude, I’ve known you for like how many years already eh? 12 years .. That so damn fucking long. If we were married we might have tons of kids already but then I’m not marrying you. How old are you again? Oh ya, no details right? But nevermind, who the fuck care.

“HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY TO BONGKERSZ“

Friends that watch your back
Friends that play with your heart
All act the same from the start
Before you know it some disappear
Others stay beside you for life
Those are the friends
The best friends

Sorry for the outdated pics dude. We have to recycle. LOL! We just do not have the time to photochop a new one for you. I guess this one is very nice already.

 

“Sakai”

Sa-kai : : (saa-kye)

adjective

1. to fill with great surprise or sudden wonder; astonish upon seeing something new
2. to get overly excited over it
3. if you still can’t imagine what’s the meaning of sakai, have you ever watch the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy Before? If you have, that is another level of sakai-ness.

A few days ago drumsticks, bongkersz and me tried a karaoke session on the NET! – through Skype. I got sakai-ed. Why?

1. this is the first time I know what the hell is skype
2. skype is so farking awesome
3. now the whole family can have karaoke session with my sis in UPM

Aren’t we so sakai?

I managed to record some of it but then I can only record my voice and can’t hear bongkersz and drumsticks at all but I can hear my mom and my cat being busy in the kitchen.

Bear with the broken chinese

 

“It’s D-Day – Warbook!”

Greetings From Sir Archibald Barricade, The Warmonger ;

I bumped into warbook like a week ago. Make it two weeks then. I got addicted to it. It reminds me of the old time playing Utopia. Basically they’re both quite similar where it’s quite a simple game, your character runs a kingdom that accumulates gold each hour based on the amount of land it has. You can attack other player kingdoms or join an alliance of kingdoms. You gain experience points for every successful attack or defence or spell cast. There are various character classes with different strengths. In short, like playing warcraft in 1-D. Only text!

I don’t have tips to offer because I’m quite new to this game. What I know is, be rich and spend wisely. Don’t build twin towers or send some monkeys to space. 😉 It’s simple, to be rich, build more mines. That’s it!

I basically have a few blogger friends playing this game. I tell you it’s fun. I’ve been inviting everyone to play but no response eh .. Maybe they don’t find it appealing. 😉 Whatever!

The motive is like I said just now, to be rich and to have lotsa land. It’s either you buy land or you attack and conquer some land. Suit yourself. If you got lotsa money, just buy la. I wished I could!

Everytime you attack, you will gain up some experience and with that your level also build up. They will give you some points for attacking. The highest that I’ve seen in all network is level 51 and the mightiest in my network is, Sir Bernard Chan. You see, that’s why he’s not updating his blog. He’s preoccupied with his marvellous kingdom. I want some of that!

Do not be blinded by the stats. I’m poor because I’ve just upgraded my army and why Ms. Fong is the richest is because she didn’t even bother to sign in to her warbook account!

For those who I’ve invited but haven’t sign up for this game, please do so because with every invitation sent and every account open, I will be having extra cash to build my kingdom. 😉 I’m being honest.

 

“Fancy Some Head Gear & BOOM?”

This is what we did during the interval – We decided to just wonder around the Imperial Mall. At least we got to do some activities in between eating and more eating. 😉

Diesel head gear, kinda cool I guess. Rawks!

I think this pic with Amoidewa in this topi bulu is cute but she said – Kanak-kanak riang

I saw this one in movies. What they call it? Paperboy cap?

I like this one. Yeah!

And This one too …

I should’ve bought the shirt!

We wondered around two shopping malls in between before we :

The big one is Amoi’s not mine.

See, my two days in Miri is full of … Eating, eating and more eating. Even during the interval
