Do I Need Oysters???

Okay ... this post is going to be about libido and what-not so for those of you who frown on such topics, kindly DO NOT read this. You have been cautioned!

So what the heck am I rambling about? L.I.B.I.D.O.

It seems like at the ripe old age of 41 I have been hit by a serious drop in sexual appetite. What am I moaning about? You see, I used to get "s"excited easily and whether I scored or not, a H-job (fast or slow) is a requirement a few times a week

Then suddenly it hit me that of late ... read that as past several months that I can remember ... most nights, even when my mind is thinking how about a little H-job ... I just turn over, grab a book, settled into bed and read. Yup, read!

Or worse yet, when I am with someone in bed, I don't even feel the need to want to do a little lovey-dovey, touchy-feely, kissy-kissy!

Worst yet, just a few months ago, I would be complaining if I am in the same city and my darling is not spending time with me but now? Now I actually tell not to bother even coming, to stay and rest because the truth is ... I am not bothered anymore!!!

ARGH!!!

Does it mean that I am becoming sexually uninterested? Libido issue? Or that my love for my other half is waning? Some serious food for thought here

Even last night, I was half in the mood but decided to "do it" and it took me several hours to build up to a decent "climax" after watching clips of "men in uniform getting it" and stills. Sigh!

So what do I do?

Oysters?

[O yes nothing of significance happened today except me going home from Damansara to the sticks]

Hottie alert!

Well the morning started off like normal ... feeling a bit down actually! Lately with my health the way it is, I am not sure how I can find the energy but I must ... so I guess I will start with eating enough and to heck with losing weight, eh? Hahahaha!

For those wondering, I am about 200 that's TWO FREAKING HUNDRED pounds!

I have never in my life imagined I would be this hulking fat man. And yet, there are those who said I am not that big for my height as it seemed that I am only a bit fat around the stomach and arse! Are they BLIND? I would say blind as a bat but hey bats have radar sensors and they can see the shape of my FAT FAT FAT FAT FAT

Anyway today's big topic is not about me being fat or even the title but rather the shocking TOSHIBA EHDD. I bought a new one less than 2 months ago. A few days ago, it started coughing up problems. When I tried to use the fix function on my laptop, it didn't work and always hang at 43%. Finally today I went to 2 different shops to check and to my utter horror they quoted me a min of RP750k or the price of a new EHDD to try and extract the data from my EHDD. ARGH! What I am annoyed is that it crashed so fast and now giving me a nightmare. I am going to see vendor next week with my warranty and ask them to extract for me and I want to be around when they do it because I have sensitive information inside. So fucking annoying!

Okay now we come to the cutie part. As you know, Indo is full of thin/ skinny/ slim dudes in uniforms (satpam). Well today's hottie isn't one of them. I was at the restaurant to review some work for a new client and then they ushered me downstairs saying that the vendor has arrived for the software demonstration. Now I am not expecting anything much because it is IT and like Finance, they tend to be geeks who are like me - FAT! Okay, I won't go there again but anyway here we have 2 young (at least they look young below 30) Chinese dudes who speak fluent Indo so I guess they must be local. One guy is doing the demo and the other guy doing the business end and I am guessing he is the boss. He is the one I was immediately WHAMMED with. Hehehe!

When I walked in, he was of average height, slightly wavy hair, nice features with hint of pimples when younger and a hot hot hot bod! He was slim with potential stomach bulge in future if not careful but now? Wow! And his butt in those brown pants?!?!?! Woof! He made brown pants look good. Hehehe! I kept on checking him out and his pronounciation? It sounded as if he was educated overseas for a long spell the way he rolled the words out. So sexy! What a turn on! Sigh! I managed to get his name card though but found nothing on the web. ARGH! Jap ... you are so cute for me!

Anyway, that's it for me tonight. Feeling so incredibly sleepy. I am really hoping this health problem gets resolved fast yeah?

Good night!

Flu ... again?

What is flu? At the ripe old age of 41, I must admit I always thought that flu came in a package of 4 illnesses ie sore throat, block nose, cough with phlegm and fever. And anyway, this is the normal cycle, right? Even if you detect it early and you go to physician, usually, for me anyway, what it does is merely delay the cycle and the fever will still come before it goes backwards of the cycle to get better. So perhaps it is better to wait for the fever to hit before going to a physician?

Anyway, I was on the mend after being down for the past like 10 days but thanks to this morning's early waking up (one round at 4:00am and finally around 6:30am), I felt my throat a wee bit raw and I have been hacking up phlegm. In addition, my head has a few sore points like insufficient sleep kind of issue ... sigh!

Sorry if you feel this particular blog entry is not revealing but hey this is my blog and I am keeping this like a diary filled with my ramblings, okay?

Other than this, I had a decent morning, actually?

I went for the ID meeting at Jl Gunawarman and met a potential new client. I managed to get them to go to lunch with me at Publico restaurant and used the opportunity to sell my services. They are interested and she asked for my contact details. She even hinted at fees and said she will discuss further with her husband and see if we can meet up to talk more later. So I am keeping fingers crossed here. Something positive albeit small opportunity is always good!

Next is that finally everyone I wrote to for the Johor project? Everyone replied in the positive. So I know it's a matter of negotiation now to get a good deal for my client. If I am lucky, we can close the deal fast probably by next month before Christmas. And if the client is happy, maybe will recruit me for the next stage of the project, eh? Hehehe! Again, keeping fingers crossed

The downer?

My new HDD that I have been using for only about a month actually crashed on me. I tried to use auto-repair but it got stuck at 43%. I managed to copy out the business folders before it totally died off more or less. I am hoping I can find someone who can fix it so I can retrieve the rest of my files. It's annoying because I am almost finished with my writing! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pixoto + 1

Today on Facebook I saw someone posted that they won this week's challenge on something called Pixoto ... so here I am clicking it and creating my own account and uploaded over the past 12 hours ... 4 photos ... damn ... what is it with me and this need to be recognized, eh? Hehehehehehehe!

Hope I at least get a decent rating and not just get kicked out within 12 hours ... my first 2 photos got "paused" as I lost so many "duels" with other photos ... I was shocked that my Dubai photo with the beautiful orange sands were not getting votes ... sigh!

I had a look at some of the photos and you can clearly see that while beautiful some of it is soooo doctored to the point it is not realistic. So why bother, right?

Okay.

The + 1 is because after FB linking, I decided to meet this chef as he was an old acquaintance of R-Pie ... Thai chef mate of mine ... and turns out he is quite a nice chap from Malaysia ... he is here for past 6 months working as a chef ... we went to Le Grandeur where he started ... and to my surprise the food is soooooooooooooo yummy ... we had the staple of siu mai, some green type with light sauce and Chinese pancake ... then he ordered the siew yoke and I had wan than mee ... all yummy! He also called over the restaurant manager, a Chinese Singaporean who has been in Jkt since the 90s and actually saw the riots!

Other than that, it's been a quiet day as far as business and work goes. I worked on my book and did some sketching. I am going to take it easy until end Dec and Jan onwards is where I start working on SOPs and what-not

Currently, what I have on outstanding?

1. Spa college

2. Lombok development

3. Retail group - new and I really hope can take off!

Okay - that's it for me for this day! Goodnight cyberfriends!

My Blog is Still Screwed

Argh this is driving me nuts! Two weeks already and I still cannot update my blog properly. For those of you who read this, you may be wondering what the F am I raving about, right? It's not this the blog proper but the side bars where I have comics and movies and novels. Last week, when I clicked on, all I got was a listing of "Edit and Delete" and nothing else. After several days, I sent a note to the administrator under feedback as apparently I cannot locate any other form of "help"

After that, when I clicked on Side Bar, it is still a long list of "Edit and Delete" but now at least I can see what I had typed. Unfortunately, the problem is still not resolved as it is a long list without wraparound. In addition, if I were to post a new entry it appears all over the place rather than as a new entry to my blog main page. So it's quite ANNOYING. So I have just zapped another note under Feedback and hope that things improve soon!

Oh please please please do!

We Bore Each Other

Today is supposed to be the day I spent taking my parents out since it is a Monday and my sis has to go back to office. However, by 9:00am, I was surprised that dad announced he is going to arrange for an earlier journey up to Genting with mom! I mean, I felt guilty almost as if he had managed to read my mind or something because there I was arranging breakfast with JLee that had become brunch and I was wondering how I tell my folks that I won't be eating with them but will drive them to the mall and what-not and BOOM this announcement!

Ah well ... I did drive them to 1 Utama and dropped them off ... least I could do, right?

As for the rest of today, I did have brunch with JLee at that Chinese eatery in Tropicana (Lower Ground) that sells all sorts of supposedly Penang food. It's been there for years and I never tried and now I know why. Taste is average but what really pains me is the $$$. RM21 for 2 cups of kopitiam coffee, 2 chee cheong fun and 1 plain nasi lemak street style. I mean, what the fuck, right? Bloody expensive! If the taste is good, it would have been fine but the taste was average especially the sweet chee cheong fun was missing the maroon sweet sauce

After that, at night, I went with my sis to Ikea. This is because of the card from the Gergaji family that I have yet to fully utilized. The magnetic strip had come off so I was worried because it was RM800 original value and I still had like RM650+. Thank goodness the serial number could work and guess what? It can be used in the food area too! So we had like free food. Hahaha!

Goodnight world!

Bule Bule ...

For those of you wondering what bule means, it is the Indonesian word/ slang for Caucasians. It is not derogatory or anything, just a word. My gripe for today is actually not just Indonesia but generally in Asia and the Middle East

I know from history we were largely colonized. However, didn't our forefathers strive so hard for independence?

Now that we have independence, why do we still every now and then you see this happening recruit a Caucasian over a country man simply because he is a Caucasian? I mean, seriously! If you hire someone because of his skill sets, I can understand. If you hire someone because you want to create an impression that your establishment has standards, even that I can understand as you are merely giving what the consumers want!

But if you were to hire simply in the naïve believe that they are generally still better than Asians, well, bullshit! I am sorry if this post is going to sound racist. If you think it does, please skip this, okay? What I am trying to get at is that due to cultural differences, Caucasians are generally more vocal. Asians tend to keep their opinions to themselves especially in front of elders and employers. Of course, they will grumble later at the pub! Hahaha! But that's the truth and we have to accept it.

I have seen, so often, we pay top dollar for Caucasians, young and old, who are simply unqualified for their job. Example: upon signing their contract, the employer has to do everything including helping them to settle into the country/ city/ company and everyone has to help him out. At work, all he does is call his managers to do their job while he does nothing. If they have difficulty, he is unable to guide or teach ... because ... he doesn't know. He got the job straight in at the top

Here is a real life example: I know someone who is a fresh graduate from university and came to Asia for a job as a management trainee of a small company for 6 months. After that, this person went to interview ... and got a job as a regional executive helping the company to establish new branches in different parts of the region. Now this company is not the same as the internship. So I asked you this: would someone with zero working experience and people management skills and cultural understanding be qualified? Seriously? Obviously this person fails spectacularly but because this person is Caucasian, this person is protected. Every three months, this person is sent to another locale and thus survives year after year! Lucky, isn't it? Sigh!

As to what happened today, nothing monumental. I just had a nice site meeting where the Caucasian never showed up and again said he needed another week to do his job. This has been ongoing since August. So naturally if and when he finishes like 2 months or 3 months late, all of us are going to have to scramble to finish and make up for time. For a project of 12 to 16 months, he has caused us 20% delay. And the best part is? He and his team has zero experience in the field and I am left stunned how the investors thought he is good! Seriously, never done the job, never even study. So all his opinion is ... guess work at how things work! I mean come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Little Bit of this n that ...

I just checked and my last post is some time Sep ... wow ... I have been negligent ... should I do a back post? Hmmm maybe I should ... for completeness eh? Let's see how in the days ahead ...

I am still wondering for a blog ... since this is anonymous (unless you are a hacker and you tracked me down somehow ... and why would you do that when I am a nobody, right?) ... what type of blog should this be?

I still liked the idea of this being a real life diary with snippets of my life and all the bitchy nonsense that goes with it ... or should I do like some other blogs and used it to post deep philosophical yammerings or promote one's own projects or business only?

Hmmmm ...

Anyway I am typing this on a beautiful (cloudy) morning in Jakarta @ Ancol M ... I am staying at Level 28 ... and have an awesome view of the bay ... it's 10:45am Jaktime .. and in 45 mn I will head down to the lobby for my cab to my ... resto ... that's restaurant for short here in Jak ... for Jakarta!

Cheers all!
