boo says "OMG!"

It's been more than a year since my last post?! This is habitual lapsing. This is chronic. This has become ritualistic!

Ah well. So I'll make an annual pilgrimage here then... time to sleep.

boo says "A nice office is home away from home"

Here with the second light on. Sweet mood.

Paper bags contain & keep out of view loose items that tend to clutter work tops. boo da genius! :-)

So gonna miss the sofa!
Toying with opting for sofa with low long coffee table as desk in new office. Radical but workable frankly. Sure would create a whole different mind-frame in that space. Hmm, worth giving it more thought.

Me likey my office mucho mucho! Occupying it since Sept 2008. Back wall is painted sweet baby blue. Come to think of it, mine is the only personnel office that has a colour feature wall. Even boss's office is standard issue white. Then again, standard issue white is one of the key ingredients of the overall ultra-modern personality (bordering on minimalism).

Back to my 'Blue Room', it looks & feels its best at night under warm lighting. The city skyline view from the window at night rocks! Unfortunately not going to enjoy this room for much longer. Swapping rooms with my next door neighbour. Going to be a wee smaller space but cannot wait all the same! Will miss this sweet calming room; it has so far been nice to me. Plan to replicate this layout & arrangement in the new space. Only diff would be colour scheme change from baby blue to earthy or choc brown! Should be yummy! boo cannot wait!

boo says "are you freakin' kidding me?"

i guess it's my turn to get pummelled into the rocks. god give me the strength to weather the storm & hail. i wouldn't mind a little divine aid to help minimise damage... thanking you in advance... this is the grown-up take-it-on-the-chin boo speaking...

THIS is the mad-as-hell flaming-red-horns-of-wrath boo speaking... how does one teach someone the moral of "If you don't do the work, you're not gonna get paid. What's more, you're gonna pay for it for letting the buck stop with me"?

boo owes George Lucas...

... a belated Thank You (recent experience with Video Games Live reminded me of another original who redefined movie standards in his time) I was mailed a marvellous 8"x 10" black n white autographed photograph from George Lucas when I was 16. It arrived on the first day of trial exams for SPM making me the happiest kid to ever take any major exam! Grinned all through exam week putting green-eyed evil fear into every A-student in school! Today this priceless memento that captured a very youthful Georgie alongside Chewbacca on set enjoys special status in my office. Hard to put into words what it feels each time to read the pen scrawl, "For *my surname*, May the Force be with You". So tho' much much belated I just want to say to Mr. George Lucas, "Thanks, but can you next time add a little smiley face too?"

boo says "Video Games Live = Magic"

Thank you Mr. Tommy Tallarico and Mr. Jack Wall. Not just for creating and bringing Video Games Live to Malaysia. But also for 3 special gifts… 1. For making me insanely joyful 2. For giving me valid reason for whooping like a Red Indian in public without being arrested 3. Finally on the journey to VGL Malaysia experience I unexpectedly made new friends/acquaintances who passionately enjoy video games music!

boo is chuffed. boo is grinning like a happy idiot...

boo says "NOT AGAIN?!"

My blogging keeps lapsing. Putting it down to work's evil conspiracy. How long will this return to blogging last? Let's put it this way, I'm not willing to bet on myself.

boo says "I'm back! I'm back! I'm back!"

Hello blog! Missed me? Has it been 1 year? Ah well better late than...

boo says "There are no UFOs. There are only tourists."

A minute ago the Phoenix probe landed on Mars. Earthlings once again crash Mars' party. Congratulations to us! We are now officially an UFO on Mars. To all Martians: "Sorry for the intrusion. We're here to check out the local scene, try the food & pick up some souvenirs for the guys back home."

boo is in need of a life!

Streamyx's been uncooperative all day. So I threw myself into house chores & laptop housekeeping. Came across food images library & decided I deserved a little pampering. Put the kettle on, made a pot of Earl Grey. The simple act of breaking out some ginger biscuits made me delirious with excitement. Well you would too if for the past 6 months you've had nothing but relentless work for company!

boo says "When mama in bad mood, stay out of kitchen"

Big violent sounds from the kitchen. Peeped at doorway. Saw Momma hammering cloves of garlic with the flat of the chopping knife with more than the usual... vigour. I hazzarded a query, "Ahem, you ok?"

She replied without looking up, "No more badminton (to watch on tv)"

I backed out real slowly keeping her well in my sights...

If that wasn't enough she later added: "I should give Rexy (Mainaky) a bag of garlic when he is sitting in the sidelines. When he gets stressed out he can bang some garlic for me."

Me smart. Me no comment.

boo lost nerve

Felt a gentle tremor at about 10.30pm? I did. Was lap-topping on the sofa. TV running in the b/g. Felt a little dizzy. Noticed the sofa was swaying from side to side. Lasted app. 4 seconds. Bounced up, woke & grabbed Mom. Trotted to ground floor, passing exiting neighbours. Mom and I sat in the car, ready to scoot out of carpark at first sign of more earth movements. Or worse, falling debris. Half an hour of sitting out in the car. Friend sms-ed me to confirm a 5.9 quake hit Northwest of Sumatra. Imagine, only took a 5.9er to 'move' KL.

Resident cats

Staying on the topic of cats... Another neighbour's cat - a black beauty, elegant and aloof. I think I have only seen it once or twice ever so briefly outside its apartment. Most times it perches on the ledge of its balcony watching the world beneath. Or perhaps looking out for prey!

There is another little grey tabby who carries itself like a PR man. He works the floor! Not a trace of discomfort amongst strangers. He made a bee line for Mom twice. Considering Mom is seldom outdoors, that is is high hit rate! The first bee line he made was interrupted by me. He was successful the second time when he managed to corner Mom and made himself acquainted right away. Mom told me he even did a little dance for her benefit!

New grey & white friend

As I walking to the lift just now, I came across this neighbour's cat that I have been seeing for some weeks now. Pretty grey and white, mid length haired beauty. Has a very distinctive walk where its legs are never bent. So it gives the impression of a ballerina. During all this time, it has kept its distance though I would gently call out to it (still can't tell if it's a he or she). But it would hardly acknowledge and be on its way like it is just too busy to stop. A cat with on a busy schedule.

Well I guess it managed to clear its schedule last night because it made a bee line for me. Came right up for a few hearty rubs to boot. Looked up so sweetly as if to ask "So what's up with you lately?" I wanted to say, "Not much really. Just waiting for you to finally come around..."

boo says "pee before you watch this"
