Testing testing 1 2 3

Hello world!!!!!! Do you miss me? (perasan....)

Alright, as a new year is upon us... I would like to think that I should update this blog a little bit more often.  Have to admit, work has been a killer in this tiny red dot.

Anyway, I do like to know whether any souls still wander into this blog anymore.  Have to admit another thing... Don't think I would like to write when this blog is already hidden deep within a forgotten memory... yeah, a bit of a writer ego there if you want to call it as such...

So yeah... if anyone still drop by... leave a comment or a mark or any kind. Am really interested in knowing if my thoughts will still be sought... 

Raya Greetings

I wonder if Perkasa will lodge a police report against me for wishing my Malay friends in English (as per picture). Have a good holiday!



1 years ago… Satu peristiwa berkenaan bahasa

Greetings from Singapore

I have been so occupied with the surgery and physiotherapy, I didn’t really had the time to let it sink into me that I have actually left the country, possibly for good. The only time I thought about leaving was wondering whether I could make it up the plane with my legs full of plasters and me walking in crutches.

Anyway… yes… I made it, and I am now in Singapore. Normally, people are given about 1 month MC for this surgery but I will have to report to work tomorrow. Well, it’s a new job, I don’t quite have a choice. The only saving grace is that my new boss is willing to let me to physio during office hour.

In 2005, I left the Malaysian shore to work in China. At that time, I knew I would return. My plan was to go for only 2 years, though it turned out to be much shorter.

This time though, I left Malaysian shores and I am not quite sure whether I will return. Surely, I may get another transfer back to Malaysia. However, if things go according to plan, I don’t think I will be returning anytime in the near future.

I guess I will find out soon enough whether all those things people talk about Singaporeans are real or otherwise. And of course, I will have first hand experience of the dreaded Singapore working culture.

Surely, there will be plenty to blog about…

People from Singapore… hope to bump into you on the streets!

Appreciate prayers for my knee

My boots were slightly broken since the game last week; perhaps it was a sign. I wasn’t even challenging for the ball, was just running and tried to change direction.

I heard a “crack” and the next thing I knew, I felt like my left knee has been cracked open with a dagger.

Initial assessment indicated that the meniscus was torn but not too sure about the anterior cruciate ligament. I will have to wait for the swelling to subside before going for a MRI. Then the extent of the damage will be clearer.

Appreciate prayers that the ACL is still intact and not ruptured. If it is ruptured, it will be surgery and a kiss goodbye to active sports. Many thanks.

Blood being drawn out from my knee…

Cheers to the new year

Recession inflation do not fear...

Drink some beer...

All shall disappear... bonus may even appear

Cheers to the new year...

A very Happy New Year to all A.Z.A.I.G.'s readers!

May you have a healthy 2010!

Good health, that's all you need...

P/S: Proper jazz guitar lessons or saxaphone lessons in 2010 for Zewt? Hmmmmmmm....

Greetings from afar...

Greetings from the extreme heat of Bali! But it’s great to be able to sit in the pool, watch TV and blog at the same time, all in the comfort of your villa. It’s bliss after all…

Just want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Blessed Christmas and a very Happy and Prosperous New Year. Have a fantastic year ahead and stay great and stay healthy…. always!

2 years ago… What’s your “X” this X’mas?

Lace Petals Lingerie… go indulge

I was told that the online business is one which is flourishing. Well, judging by the amount of web boutique being set-up, that may just be true.

Another friend has set up another such boutique and it’s not the usual dress and girls’ accessories… it’s hmmm… lingerie… I was told that wearing a sexy pair of lingerie give a girls a boost in self confidence. Is it true? If it is… plenty confidence there I must say.

As for the men, you’ll not regret the sight you can get from there. You might want to get a pair for your lovers? After all, it’s Christmas!

Mention Zewt and you might just get a discount. Happy shopping at Lace Petals.

A sip before trip

Will be flying off tonight to the city I consider the Rome of the east. Understand the weather is getting rather cold, so I hope it’s cooling to walk around the Forbidden City and not so sweaty when scaling the Great Wall.

A word for fellow devils… the word was written all over the wall since last week. Whenever the media play up a team’s profile against a team in crisis, the latter will surely prevail. Happiest people yesterday were neither devils nor scousers, but the bookies.

In case you don’t know, the national budget was announced last Friday. Plenty of goodies (so it seems) for individuals. If you go into detailed calculations, it amounts to nothing really. And the general feel in the tax circle is that it is a boring budget. Should I dissect it still?

Alright, have a good week ahead and catch you guys next week…

1 year ago… Have you ever tried this before?

2 years ago… Living: Malaysia vs. Hong Kong

Away with a greeting

I will be away to the land which has just been struck by typhoon...

So, an early wish to all Muslimin and Musliman sekalian...

Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri...

Stay safe on the road!!

The new look

Do you think you will recognise me if you walk pass me in public?

What do you think?

GHFC!

I guess it's only appropriate that this 428th post of AZAIG (8!) is dedicated to wishing all Chinese a very Happy Chinese New Year. Gong Hey Fatt Choy... San Jong Lik Gin...

For those travelling back to their respective hometown, I wish you a very safe journey and may you have a wonderful time with your loved ones.

Just busy

Hello world! Just want to say to you all, particularly to those who mailed me asking me whether I am down with health problems again that I am doing mighty fine. Health wise has been good and I am due for my next check up in 2 months time.

Anyway, the silence is due to the fact that I am currently heavily engaged in the annual corporate battle. At the same time, I am also facilitating the battles of others. Like I said, this year's battles are going to be more intense and interesting and they have lived up to the expectations.

Plenty to talk about particularly my experiences in my recent interviews. No, not as an interviewee but as an interviewer. Yeah, trying to recruit an additional guy into my team and this new experience has been interesting!

Tell you guys next week. Cheers!

The resurrection of “Letter to Thyself”

To the 15 people who entrusted me with “their letter”, I hope you have safely received the wonderful words you have written to yourself by now. I hope it was a good experience for you guys. And for those who did the exercise at their own privacy, I hope you all enjoy it too.

For those who are unaware, I wrote about an exercise of wonderful self-reflection. Basically, you write a letter to yourself. I am more than glad to be of service once again this year should anyone wants to do another round of such self reflection or perhaps, doing it for the first time.

Again, just write down your thoughts, aspirations, hatred, ambition… basically anything and put it in a password-protected word document and send it to me at zewtness(at)gmail.com and I will send the letter back to you. By the time, I hope you would have forgotten about the letter already.

Read here for a detailed explanation.

For this time round though, I plan to do something different. You shall have a choice to decide on how long before I send the letter back to you. You may want me to keep your letter for 5 years. So long as I am alive, I will be more than glad to do it for you. And come next year, I will not be writing an entry like this to “remind” people.

Just don’t forget your password ok…!

On a related note… AZAIG turns 2 !!!!!!
And…. Happy Anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Zewt… !

Start writing everyone!

Greetings

Blessed Christmas

For unto us a Child is born...

Unto us a Son is given...

Emmanuel...

God is with us...

We were the reason He gave His life...

He is the reason for this season...

Blessed Christmas to all...

Prayer request

I wish to call upon all AZAIG Christian readers to pray for my friend's baby; named Z who suffered from brain hemorrhage a while ago and will be goin into surgery at 4pm today (27 Nov) due to fresh bleeding in his brain. The baby is about 5 months old.

Please pray for a successful surgery, peace and calm for the family and that baby Z will grow up to be a healthy normal boy.

God Bless.
All glory to God.

3 comparisons, 1 interview, 2 awards

Jules went to a health exhibition yesterday and the nutritionist who gave a talk there gave her 3 comparisons…

Apparently, smoking a single cigarette is like burning away the nutrition that you get from eating 60 oranges.

You think that is bad? Well… eating a packet of instant noodles actually required 90 days of detox before your body can get rid of all those preservatives and chemicals. It’s a good thing I have only eaten maggi mee once in the last 9 months.

Don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world. I am sure most of you will like the 3rd comparison. There is this thing called inflammatory agent which is bad for the body, said to be a cancer causing agent. And… between a roasted skinless chicken breast and roasted lean pork… roasted lean pork (focus on the word “lean”) has got more anti-inflammatory agent.

Anyway, I had an interview today with a journalist from a new local IT magazine. Why do people like to ask “Are you afraid to be ISA?” when they interview me? This is the second time I am being asked this question. I guess blogging is indeed a dangerous interest in this country. Anyway… do look out for me in this new magazine called “Surf”… hehe…

AZAIG would like to say a big thank you to Mar for the “Brillante Weblog 2008 Award” and to U-Jean for the “Butterfly Award”.

So… ‘siew yok’ anyone?

Eid Mubarak

Kepada semua Muslimin dan Musliman sekalian,

Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Maaf Zahir dan Batin

P/S: Agent called, "ticket" to grassy land has been granted... :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

DO… NOT… REACT

It smells like the dark side is trying to execute Order 513(v2) to counter Project 916 (or could it be Project 920 now?). And will the cinema be showing “The Return of the Weed Operation”?

Yes, it’s getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes, not your fist; or any other thing for that matter.

This is not the time to show that you have had enough. This is not the time to show that you are not afraid. This is not the time to be emotional and all.

This is a time to use your intellect, which you all claim to have as compared to the rest. This is a time to see what is beyond. So please use your brain. Exercise discernment and don’t do anything stupid.

Just continue with our daily lives while keeping an eye on the show. After all, it’s quite a blockbuster. Whatever it is, just don’t react unwisely.

P/S: Besides Taxy Driver, are there any tax professionals out there reading A.Z.A.I.G.? I plan to start a tax blog. Just ranting, nothing too technical. Drop me a mail if you are interested.
