Update On the KL Trip 2008 (25th July)
Okay, after getting feedback from "The Don", here is what I have to say:
1) The Malaysian Youth Hostel Association is near Petaling Street as I was told by sunRAY. For more details you can just Google or Yahoo it or ask sunRAY. Basically, it's a hostel with bunk beds and air-conditioning. sunRAY told me that they charge by individuals (per head type of fee). We (sunRAY and I) aren't sure how much it costs to stay there for one night to be honest with you and we have not contacted the Hostel because we were waiting to see how well this plan would go down first. If you guys are absolutely sure that you want to go then we will check. I don't know if this helps but sunRAY's rough estimates is that every person would have to spend about RM 20 per night to stay there. This includes breakfast (no other meals). Oh yea, I remember sunRAY telling me that they fit 4, 6 or 8 people into one room depending on how much people are in the same group. I am not sure whether we will be in separate rooms but if 4, 6 or 8 of us go, then we can get the same roomlah. Err... if you want to know more about this place, ask sunRAY. He stayed there after the 2006 KL Pesta. So he can give you a first hand account of itlah.
2) I totally agree with what Spartacus said about the Kuching people meeting the Semenanjung people and then coming back together. Before we can make any plans, I need everyone to send me some information about your travel plans (for Semenanjung people coming back to Kuching) and the academic calender for your current semester (everyone e.g. when classes end, when tests end,etc.). Please also tell me if you are participating in some other activities this December (e.g. camp, working, travelling with your OTHER friends :(, etc.) It is very important. Just post it in the comments section of this blog or sms/e-mail to either sunRAY or me. I will give a date onece I get all the info from Semenanjung dudes.
3) We estimated that our flight cost would take RM400. Actually, those rates were as of the date of the first post about the KL trip. At those rates you'd have to pay RM110.00 for a one way flight(we counted the most expensive flight charge available on that date), RM 45.00 for the administration fee, and RM18.00 (if i'm not mistaken) for the fuel surcharge. If you brought along I bag you'd also have to pay an additional RM3.00. In total, we obtained the figure RM 360+ (or was it RM 370+) for a round trip. I expect these rates to go up drastically. Drink and sunRAY have told me to watch for Air Asia's sale. But truthfully, the flight fees can change drastically. It can become as cheap as RM300 or as expensive as RM600. This needs constant monitoring. So what I recommend is that the range for the flight expenses be set at RM 400- RM 500 to be realistic. Just be prepared to fork out this ammount of moneylah if you want to go.
4) To be honest with you, I think that rite now, only Drink, Spartacus, sunRAY and I know about this trip. I will tell thomIAN tommorrow. Someone please tell Bun and KNee. PokeDex too. Personally, I think we will proceed with this plan once we have 5 people who agree to commit. If there are only 4 people then, we will have a discussion. If there are less than 4 people, then it's off. Deadline I set for confirmation is 1st September 2008. This is the ultimate final date. No further extentions. If you disagree with this date them please let me know. I set it to be exactly 3 months before 1st December 2008.
5) Reminder: Everyone, please ah, I want to be anonymous (just call me simple guy). And sorry ah if I modified your names in this post.
6) I have already posted the draft. Ah, you guys ah, keep bully me in you post ah. Wait, sabar.........!!!!!!! Err...Spartacus, actually, our outings on Fridays have been a dissappointment after you guys left. Only 3 ppl at most.
K. That's all.

Finally!!!
Yes!!! Finally!!!
Finally, someone posted their suggestions and comments(even though some of it are not) about the trip.
ほんとうにありがとうございます、おやぶん！！
If you can find a translator then you should know the meaning la....
Anyway, this are some of the updates that i need to inform you all:

Anyway, this are some of the updates that i need to inform you all:
- I've just send a invitation to Master Simon. Now its up to him to join this blog.
- Ravin, I think you can post up your "freaking long draft" by now since you got your computer back already. No more reasons, dude!! You can just get your second part done after you post this one first. PLEASE!!!! NO HARM, DUDE!!!!
(You know I lazy to read drafts...) - There is this news and its rather a bad one. I might be having budget problem when mentioning about that trip. I've been trying my very best not to get anything for this coming KCBA PC Fair on this 1st - 3rd August.
(I guess I won't be able to survive since that Gigabyte 9600 GT 1Gb DDR3 came to my dreams more frequently than ever after hanging out with Ravin at Saberkas few days ago) - The Malaysian Youth Hostel is located near the Petaling Street (around 5 minutes walk) and also very near to one of the monorail station. I'll get some more information from Mr. Kueh
Ah Sengsince he knows everything about it.
- This stupid numbering is really testing my nerves. Just don't skip the numbering if I don't ask you to!!!!!
And finally........
Ravin (again), don't put "I miss you" (or admit it) in the SMS even if I ask you that question......

My Colleagues
First of all, sorry ah guys if this post is really long. I was advised to split it up in to pieces cos it's just too long and I can't possibly type everything that I have to say all in one post as it will take forever. So I'm posting this part first. Please be understanding ah if some of the things I have said here is a bit old. I just thought that I'd make this blog a tad more interesting (that's an understatement, I'm being humble here okay) by posting some of my personal thoughts. Really, they(my thoughts) are interesting. And what better way to so than by posting it on this blog (afterall, our Friday nights have become "playtime" as one of my colleagues said). Today, I'll be talking about my work colleagues from MPH. As some of you aren't fully aware of, I have submitted my resignation letter and am no longer working for MPH. Working at MPH was ceratainly different experience though I honestly feel that it wasn't that big of a change in my life. I was afterall only working at an entry-level position which didn't require specialised skills. Anyway, I won't be writing about my experience being a full time worker today. Rather, I'll be talking about the people that have made my experience at MPH.....well.....interesting. One of the best things which I have gained through woking with MPH was the oppurtunity to meet people who were from different backgrounds from the usual sort of people that I'm normally with. It was eye-opening at times.
I'll start with the original 10 entry-level employees that the bosses at MPH hired. To further make it easier and interesting for all you readers out there, I'll list them down in the order that they left (or eliminated in some cases, hheehehehehe, reality TV= entertainment):
1) Elayne. The first time that I met her, I thought she looked kinda funny. Maybe it's just me being mean or passing superficial judgement but I thought she looked like a doughnut (the ball type) skewed by a stick. Yes, funny but true. This was the shape of her body. I sometimes subconsciously calle her doughnut. But seriouslylah, she did remind me of the doughnut on a skewer. I know, I know, I'm mean (I can so see Aldrin reminding me of this). Anyway, going beyond looks, Elayne was well............. no a very good worker because of her attitude. I first got to know her when we went for a short trainning seminar at the Harbour View Hotel. She sat next to me and she seemed at first that she wanted to get close to me(not in the romantic type of way Alvin). I could sense a bad vibe coming from her. I don't know, there just seemed to be something wrong with her. Elayne was the same age as me and she was from St. Joe(she had just finished her form 6 and was waiting for her results).
Soon, after we started working (when MPH opened) my other colleagues began talking about her not wanting to work very long(there was a rumour that she wanted to leave immediately after she had gotten her results) for MPH and they began to question this as they felt dissatisfied with her. Maybe they were just unhappy with the way she so proudly told everyone this. Anyway, Elayne seemed to be a decent worker at first albeit a lazy one. Please take note that almost everyone is lazy at MPH so I'm using the word lazy with caution. She usually finds some way of parking her big fat ass at the customer serivce counter(CSD) despite not having any important work to do. If the CSD's full she'll get on 1 of the tiny stools for little children, park her ass on it and act like she's arranging books. Often, she'll take a hell lot more of time than actually required. I usually see her reading some children's book, the ones with load of pictures and I just imagine a doughnut mascot reading(hehehehe, I'm mean). Oneday, a problem began to brew at the CSD. This happened when Elayne became increasingly involved with CSD work. We began seeing some shortages of money at the CSD. Kim and I became incresingly suspicious of Elayne and we wanted her as far away as possible from them CSD for fear that she was pocketing some money. I didn't do anything to oust her but Kim did. She tried giving instructions to her to follow. Eventually, she got the message. We also noticed some problems with the MPH member forms and often it was imcomplete due to Elayne's constant disregard for following standard procedures. Anyway, we didn't have any evidence to prove her guilt which leaves her innocent I guess. However, she did try to steal a book that she ordered for herself but was caught by our boss. I'm not sure how she settled that but I do know that she didn't buy another book that she oredered for herself which was irresponsible and abusive.
Elayne also had another problem, she repeatedly skipped work espescially during weekends. She used to try to change shifts with people to get her own way. But after a while, she just found it to tough and just skipped work as she pleased. This happened probably about 7 times during her course at MPH. She was also lectured behind closed doors several times, thrice if I'm not mistaken. However, nothing work, she kept being her same old lazy self. Oh yeah, one more thing, the reason she used to skip work on weekends was because she was out clubbing and got so drunk that she passed out. She's a party person. Besides, another colleague of mine told me that she stayed at their place for 2 months but didn't pay rent which lead to her expulsion from their house. Anyway, Elayne got the message, everyone hated her for her selfish behaviour and we wanted her out especially Mr. George who had to scold her and treat her in a cold way to get rid of her. She turned in resigned(well, eliminated) and was gone by the second week of May.
