das Leben ist schön 人生は美しい

I was watching Germany vs Australia match the night before, the game was a Great 4 – 0. Usually when matches like these you can hear the audience cheers, whistles, shouts, claps, etc. especially when there’s a Free Kick, a Foul, a GOAL, or a failed Goal.

But then in the Ger vs Aus match, I couldn’t hear any of those but only the sound ‘Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz’

No It’s not a Bee.

I hear it whenever there’s a Goal, a Foul, a Free Kick, an Offside or even when Nothing happens at all, there’s the ‘Bbbbbzzzzzzzzzz’ noise… so annoying. It just sound all the time throughout the entire freaking game even Half time !

It’s called the Vuvuzela

Yes, this is the noise you hear throughout the football match in WorldCup 2010. Why WorldCup 2010 ? Because the game is hosted in South Africa !

The Boogieblast – “Vuvuzela” is a plastic musical instrument which has now become infamous around the world.
It is used mostly at all sporting events or just for a good time.

The Boogieblast, also known as a soccer horn is used by local soccer supporters to try boost their teams performance.

REMEMBER… YOU ONLY HATE THEM, IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE…

The vuvuzela has a high pitched blasting sound, much like a big air-horn on trucks.

There are now a couple different types, but the Boogieblast is truly the first and original Vuvuzela to be proudly blown by our supporters.

The vuvuzela was introduced to South Africa as a toy for kids to blow, and hardly got off the ground. Selling the vuvuzela proved almost impossible, until the full potential was realized by the local soccer supporters.

The first prototype was from America and changed somewhat for more comfortable blowing and effectiveness. We have researched the history of the Vuvuzela, and follows a trail back to a women’s Chinese basketball team, AMAZING…

The word, VUVUZELA, was first used by a few soccer supporters. There are many claims to what the word really means, but more generally it means to pump up ones performance in a truly South African manner.

Many have tried to lay claim to the vuvuzela and Trademark, of this word, but let the truth be known, it belongs to the supporters.

So annoying u know or not ! Apparently the football players also complain because the noise interrupts their communication within the team on the field, and the commentators are not heard at all. All you can hear is ‘bzzzzzzzzzz or vuuuuuuuuuuu’

It can even make you go crazy and deaf you know ! Stupid football audience.. they should just Shut Up and watch the Match.

I am now Anti-Vuvuzela !

Wanna know how irritating and annoying is the noise?

So How? Is your ear stuck with the noise already? I bet Mr. Hitler does, must watch the following video, Funny !

This phone is so addictive ! I kept check-in my 4square -_-

The phone requires full charge twice per day.. imagine how much i spend my time with the phone.

Must have self control liao…

Phone is good but the drawback is… no privacy.. my contacts and calendar automatik sync with Gmail liao.. sien betol

I’ve been contemplating between these 2 phones.

I’ve never try these 2 phones before, so I dunno which 1 better.

But 1 thing for sure I need a phone desperately now as my stupid 5800 is rosak dy.

So I started a poll in forum asking Android vs Apple4g. There were flames and arguments between apple-fanboi and nokia-fag and android-tards. They were arguing Apple is for cool outgoing ppl and the guy who uses Apple must be popular among girls and easily get girls. And someone from the Nokia camp posted this:

I do not know the answer but definitely I wont wanna use Nokia 5800 coz it has phailed me LIAO.

This will be my first post in German.

I can’t remember exactly when I started liking German language but it must be from Pachelbel Canon coz he’s a German FTW !!!!!!

I wanna practise my German so that I can travel to that part of the world and tok to them peeps.

I also want thank Grace for sapporking me and Kaze too.

I hardly do much shopping, my friends know that.

When it comes to clothing or shoes, I find it a waste of time and money because I would prefer spending them on new hardware gadgets and FOODS. So what my friends and family does is, buy wallet or clothes as my birthday gift. Hence you see me with those weird weird or funky clothes, if i were to get a shirt myself it will be either round neck t-shirt or Polo T.

Last week I bought myself a new wallet as my QuickSilver wallet sudah ber-kedut and also coz both my Sisters were buying Lacoste shoe/sneaker and the salesgirl said buy 1 more item got 10% discount. So I x the wallet for the 10% discount.

Since this is my first time getting my own wallet, I was quite fussy and couldn’t decide which to get. I finally drill-down to 2 wallets and I handled them quite ‘rough’ until the salesgirl keep ask me “OK mah?” So how I tested was, insert ALL my cards on the new wallet and put in my pocket to see got bulk or not. Then do the same on another wallet (I can see the wallet a bit kedut liao) but I dont care la since I thought demo unit sure for us to test ma.

Finally I decided to get the smaller one (the reason for being indecisive was the price tag is (#$*!)(@#* and price difference between the bigger 1 and smaller 1 is quite near)

(My new Lacoste wallet, I never heard the brand before but sis said it’s good stuff yo)

I ask the salesgirl for new stock. She said don’t have coz there’s only 1 such wallet here. Meaning those 9 wallets in the display shelves are the ONLY units.

My sister said “Good lah, unique mah”.

Wahlao… imagine this wallet I buy, sure got a lot ppl tested before me and imagine they have sweaty palms, smelly pocket, and treat the wallet so roughly. My wallet also got kedut but I dunno whether it’s damage done by me, should’ve checked the condition of the wallet before I even tested it.

I had no choice but to just buy it loh. Like my sis said, it’s Unique mah. I didn’t know it’s all one of its kind, that explains why the salesgirl keep interrupt my ‘demo’ just now.

Yeshhh new wallet !

Today I was helping this Manager with her reports. She is Happy. She gave me something as a show of gratitude.

I am happy liao. If only DKSH user were appreciative enough, I’d be drown in Ferero Rochers already.

Happy April fool day !!! Have you fooled anyone today? I had just pulled out a prank on someone and it was a success LOL.

Roll Off Day

Anyway, today was D team’s last day and they’re now officially rolled off. It is normal for consultants to come and leave, but this time I felt weird; It was like being dumped and I feel kinda lonely.

I can imagine how boring it will be in the office, and I guess I’ll be demotivated for quite some time. Everyday used to be so busy with all those issues, full loads, remodelling, aggregates, re-architecture, transports, blablabla… all sorts of discussion happening around the Project Room and especially the BI team (5 ppl) But tomorrow onwards, it’ll be only 2 person left in the team.

I’ve never felt like this before. Maybe because all these while I’m the person who leaves the client site, my roll off day was very fun and I was looking forward to my new project or back to Office. Now I finally understand how does it feel like to be the person who were left behind. Maybe because this time, I’m left to do the shits alone while the rest can happily leave this place

2 Weeks later, I will be handling all SAP BI stuff alone for a month. Because the permanent staff all either holiday or maternity. Sigh man, I still got 5 months to go…. so long.

Btw, I really learnt a lot from these guys. From tomorrow onward I’ll be the only Consultant here liao :-s

I better start getting organized myself, because nobody is gonna keep track of me and keep me organized liao.

Have you tolerate enough with your current car, being laughed at, under estimated at, looked down upon, and always overtaken by other cars on the road?

Every time you’re being cursed for hogging up the right lane, flashed with high beam from the back, young kids driving Toyota Vios or Honda City overtaking you from both left and right lanes, and despite you stepping HARD on the accelerator pedal but your speedometer is pointing hard at 60kmh w sinusoidal vibration of 1mm amp.

No, the loud distorted engine sound is not bad-ass but it is actually the Engine crying out loud yelling “Oh dear owner, please spare my life”.

OK, stop frowning now because all those were of your past.

As you’ve known I owns a Mercedes SLK and it has done me a lot of good, I’m reluctant to let it go but I’m getting a BMW so it is impossible for me to drive both cars at the same time.

As the saying “Your car is like your wife”, and I’m a faithful lover I do not support the idea of Polygamy.

The specifications(& photo) of my Mercedes SLK is as follows :-
