Yesterday, I didn't go to work, I had taken the day off. In the morning I went to see the Elders for I felt sorry for not been able to help them a lot with their work, I brought them lunch and sent them to their destination, it was very far away, I wonder how do they manage when there are nobody to help them?...
After the Elders, I drove myself to the city, in an effort to buy myself a new computer, how stupid of me to use a car, the traffic was horrendous, it took me 2 hours to reach my destination, if I were on my bike, it will only be half an hour...hai...well, I did got my eyes on a HP yesterday, 3412TU...the most powerful processor in its class, a fast machine...Duo core 2.o...and upgraded DDR 2G...total...RM2899...Kaching Kaching...had to use 2 credit cards to settle the purchase...ai...the bank was too crowded yesterday, I didn't get to see anybody there, I have to break one of my piggy bank savings to settle the big bill...the precious 5.5k frozen for years to make babies...now, it needs to be butchered...poor baby, poor me...(T_T)
PS: The manufacturer didn't give me the drivers for the machine, I cannot proceed with the installation of my new baby...aiyar...

A NEAR FAR FAR AWAY TALE
Recently a friend has been asking me to go for a much needed holiday with her. We have been thinking and talking about it.
We talked about going overseas like Australia to see the Koala bears, 
Hong Kong to see Andy Lau
and Singapore to see Merlion,
we even talked about eating "Balut” in the Philippines, and end up photographing Chubby vomiting in front of the camera.
All of these Sound fun, but somehow chubby wanted the be at beach, not to the beautiful seaside, the calm and relaxing environment, or the Beautiful sunshine and the beautiful girls there.
It is the sands that attracts this Chubby;
it is so because this Chubby here wanted to dig a hole in the Sand, the biggest hole man has ever seen, if not the biggest, it will have to be a very big one, at least big enough for this Chub. He believes that with his spade he can dig all he wants, it’s full of sand and full of urge to dig. There's no specific reason for this, it is just a simple urge to dig during the holidays... Y(^^)"

SHE DASHED AWAY QUICKLY LIKE THE WIND
Today I woke up early in the morning, took a bath and got ready for Church, I was fairly excited about going church today, because I called my wife yesterday, she told me that she was going to church today, I was getting ready to execute my grand plan as last week I didn't have the chance to ambush her...brushed my teeth with extra effort...
When I reached there, I saw her and her sister, that's my sister in law, sitting a corner in church, I cannot get to her, I had to sit to the other end...ay...so much for the extra brushing...Well after that I had to go up on stage to give a talk, because I have been assigned to give a talk about "commandments" and so it be...bla bla bla-ing on stage again...And what amaze me is that people listen to my bla-ing...hehe...(^_^)"
After the whole day going classes and talking about things in Church, I waited, hoping to see her again...and the only thing I saw was she was happily talking to the same guy which caused our marriage breakdown...I watched...and waited...and then when they are finished...she dashed away like the wind in front of me...(T_T)

I FOUND THE ANSWERS FINALLY
Your Friends Scare Me
Why do I feel threatened by my partner's opposite-sex friends?
By Scott Haltzman, Ph.D. hitchedmag.com Updated: Aug 19, 2007
Question: Why do I feel threatened by my partner's opposite-sex friends?
Answer: If your partner is enjoying the company of another person, and that person is someone of the opposite sex from your partner, the answer is pretty obvious: you're worried about your mate becoming sexually attracted to that person, and, well, you know what happens next....
It's quite common for a couple to struggle with the thorny issue of opposite-sex friends. Sometimes the problem arises from one partner refusing to let go of past boyfriends or girlfriends. Individuals who keep the old flames' phone numbers in their contact file believe it doesn't make sense to dispose of the friendship just because the romance fizzled out.
Some opposite-sex relationships spring from the workplace. In many job sites, including the military, men and women work side by side. When put into high-intensity situations, people bond. Some people, even if they're married, think that it's artificial to limit these positive work experiences to the office. They figure that if it feels good to be around their officemate during work, it should feel good spending time together after work as well.
Even though your mate sees lots of good reasons to foster these friendships, you have an even better reason not to: because it threatens your relationship.
You're concerned that if your partner has a friendship with a person today, it could grow into a love affair tomorrow. You're concerned that if your partner has a friendship with a person today, it could grow into a love affair tomorrow. And you have every reason to be concerned.
The Warning Signs
When one individual shares intimacies with another of the opposite sex, they develop a familiarity that binds them closer together. This connection breeds feelings of "specialness" that leaves each with the sense that they have a unique understanding of each other -- one that other people can't appreciate. The big problem with this arrangement is that it excludes you and directs the energies that should be going into your relationship out toward other people.
Your mate may believe that opposite-sex friendships are harmless because his or her friend is married. But that's just dead wrong! Many friendships outside of marriage start as "just friends" and grow closer and more intimate. Because these friendships are so fresh, interesting and compelling, it's not long before the two people involved start to think they are more compatible than their own life partners. It's a small step from that realization to the development of a full-blown affair, and the destruction of a marriage. Do you need to be concerned?
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Is the person someone whom your partner would consider "attractive"?
Answer by Chubby: Yes
2. Are they spending time together outside of the office (even for office lunches) when other people are not around?
Answer by Chubby: Yes
3. Has your partner excluded this "friend" from your life, either by nottelling you when they are meeting, refusing to introduce you, or going into another room to talk on the phone when you are nearby?
Answer by Chubby: Yes
4. Does your partner tell you that he or she has the kind of relationship with this friend that you just couldn't understand?
Answer by Chubby: Yes
A "yes" to question #1 and any of the other three questions means your partner's friendship may be a threat to your relationship.
If your mate is involved in a special relationship that makes you uncomfortable, don't ignore that feeling. You've got to ask for what you need -- for your mate to end further personal and exclusive friendships with people of the opposite sex.
Remember, your partner may not be intending to hurt you, and may honestly feel like there is nothing to worry about. You can help him or her understand your concerns; it may help to read this article together.
Finally, your partner may feel it's rude or unfair to the "friend" to end the exclusivity of the friendship. That may be right, but frankly, not taking action is rude and unfair to you. In all cases, the needs of your relationship outweigh the needs of a friend. After all, you should always be number one on your partner's buddy list.

THIS TIME IT IS THE ENGINEER WHO BROKE DOWN
I don't know how to start this, but I must try to record down this event in my life that is important to me...
Yesterday I went to the HR office in the morning plan about the "Early Retirement Plan" they have offered, I took a form and went back to the field, I filled up the form in the field, in a popular bank, as I were filling the form I can't help feeling extra emotional that time, tears start rolling down my eyes, and I started to cry, extra emotionally, I had to squat down and hide behind the machine before someone sees me, I sat at a corner facing the machine acting as I were repairing a machine, instead I were crying hard, my eyes can't see with the amount of tears covering them...
I felt sad, after years of demoralizing and insults from my boss and fellow collegues, I started to think that I am really that useless person they described me, it got to me this time, I had to go, my loyalty and services are not required here...

BEAUTIFUL SMILES...MISSED AGAIN...
I woke up early yesterday morning, about 6.30am, it was a Sunday, we call it Sabbath day for Christians, I had a plan to go Church, partly was trying to be holy, but just a small part, the bigger part was that I wanted to meet my wife there, because she did come to church last Sunday. I planned to go a little bit late, just a little bit, because I don't want to miss the sacrament and I wanted to have the chance to sneak up to my wife and sit next to her, in that way we can't speak, cause every time we open our mouths we end up arguing, I planned to be a mime that day...I'd be happy and she can't do much about it...hehe...
Yesterday, a speaker had asked us to look to our side and smile to the person next to us, it was such a wonderful idea and such a wonderful chance to have my classic beautiful smile at her, and I'd be happy to see her smile back at me again, I haven't been able to see her smiling to me for a long time, it was such a wonderful idea, such a wonderful chance...
...Unfortunetely...unfortunetely, she was not there that morning...I smiled to a stranger next to me, and I feel strange...and fuzzy too...

THE STREET MAN
A tired body and a tired soul
Lingering into the dark feeling cold
Aimlessly without a destiny
For he only knew the only
Pleading to heart less souls
Pleading for a little hope
Who wouldn't know a handful of mattresses bring
For he only have these to ask for a little blessings
He came here for a little hope, but he sells nothing
He can only standby and watch people passing
Please please mister his soul was screaming
His little hope was only dying
In silence he was suffering
It is truely of heart-wrenching
Tonight Chubby is only bla bla bla-ing
For he wish he could do something...

IN CLASS TODAY
This Sabbath Sunday morning, I went to Church in the morning, happy to be there, because my wife was there; prayers sometimes do come true. I hope that she's happy there...
Funny that today when I was teaching the Gospel principle class, a student at the age of 50s fell asleep snoring in class, just when I was happily babbling about the lesson, the snore came in a very loud way...I paused for a while...(+_+)"...then I smiled, feeling funny, because I thought my class was interesting at that moment...It reminded that I did the same thing in class to my math teacher when I was a student many years ago...wonder how the teacher felt?...My class somehow ended in a nice way, I hope everybody was happy about it and glad about the messages I conveyed...
I just received a message about an hour ago, it was Sister Julie, one of my friend in church, she informed me about her daughter Sister Rie Teraoka is engaged to Brother Woo today, and will be coming back very soon, I'm excited about the news and feel glad for her, as I can recall how happy it feels getting engaged, we'll be going out for dinner once Rie is back from Utah...

THE BOAT TO LA LA LAND
Yesterday as I were reading the newspaper, I came across an article about a town in China called "Bachelor town", it described about men in the small town were unable to get wives as the ratio of sex in China and the modern concept of materialism is making it hard for the farmers there to be married, thus making some of Bachelors committing to crime as there is not much meaning in life for them. One of the bachelor at 45, says that he has missed the marriage boat...
It struck me then, reminding me of a Chinese saying...The marriage boat has left...Thinking to myself that it is exactly what I am agonizing about most of the time. My boat ride to la la land has flipped, and I am now drowning and struggling to swim back to shore...If I made it back to shore, taking another boat ride to the happy la la land is a bigger challenge...
You see, My first choice of marriage is or was having a wife as a member of The Church, basically its because I feel like going to church every Sunday with my family like The Simpsons did in the movie, it would be nice. But as I have been with the singles of the church for a while, I noticed that the singles here are not very dedicated about relationships here, some players and some ignorant about a relationship...So, where does it leave me to find the next ride to my la la land?...Maybe I'm already too late for any ride now...Maybe I should go fishing by the shore instead of trying to get to la la land...Maybe its better this way...Maybe there will be another one?...Not sure...Just maybe...

MY SEVEN STICKS
Today was a very busy day at work, with a few installation at hand, I had no time to eat...As usual...I had to stuff a few pieces of white bread into my tummy and that's it for lunch, its off to work again...My boss called up today as always, complaining about everything...the main reason is still "Why I took so long?" from the snobbish feller...Demanding I should do like this and like that and things would workout fine...Thinking to myself that his feet were not on the ground again, everything is just so simple to him...During his demand on how things should work through the phone, I saw a chance of opportunity to say "Yes sir! you are correct sir, I should immediately work on you suggestions sir!" and I killed off the conversation quickly...brushing off a very annoying feller and went back to work...
I finished work about 8.30pm today, felt very tired and hungry...as I went past a hawker stall selling "lok lok" I felt the hunger struck more that ever...I needed to sink my teeth in the sticks of cockles, so I happily took seven of them...with sweet source...yum...ar...so nice...and thought it would be somewhere between 5 linggit...then when the stall keeper is charging for 7 linggit, I paused for a very very short while thinking "Har?" and "Oor?" and "Wah?"... I smiled to man and paid the 7 quickly...Saying thank you and walked away...Upon reaching home I felt hungry again...took the one last instant noodle raw and started blogging again...And thinking "Hai" what a day...
