Revisiting past memories

As i revisit this blog again, i am deeply saddened by the current conditions it is in. There has been absolutely no posts for months and the site is dusty and full with cobwebs. Basically, all the bloggers are playing hide and seek with each other where they will only blog if someone takes the initiative to blog in the first place. The only active part of the website is the chatbox where many of our uni friends have been asking for us to update the blog and also the place where the bloggers giving excuses why they dont want to blog. So, to prove to the other 3 jokers that i am hardworking enough to blog, i will create the first post of the year 2008.

Tonight was the first time this year we got around together and did our ritual....DOTA..As usual i was not good at it and kh got raped again by ivan...who says he stopped playing dota which is an outright lie since he still plays dota every night on blueserver. Oh...yeah..there was also Ivan Ng and Kah Leong who played with us tonight. Both of them are our seniors and are doing their honours programme. Usually, Ivan Ng will curse and swear during the game but tonight he was rather quiet...Maybe he is trying to turn over a new leaf. After DOTA, we just sat down to have a cup of tea.

It has been half a year since we parted our ways since Monash and so we decided to catch up with one another. Let's firstly start with kh as he was the most well-dressed person tonight. Kh has left his previous company to join Roche where he is now a marketing executive in the diagnostics department. He is trying to market some diagnostic kit which involves blood and bones but i still can't quite get the details of the what the kit actually does. He is doing fine but he still finds the allowance for his petrol too little since he travels quite a distance from puchong to damansara very often to meet up a BIG 'customer'..Lolz..Otherwise he is doing alright.

Colin on the other hand is working under Pfizer where he sells Viagra...Yes, the famous triangle shaped blue drug...He claims it is very powerful and said that it was high in demand as many old men actually buy it for their visit to Thailand. When asked about whether he has tried it or not, he said no...which i personally think it cannot be true..How can u say that viagra is powerful if u have not tried it yourself, Colin? Hmmm... Anyway, if you are in Klang and u are in a pharmacy shop, there may be a chance that if u see someone dressed up as a blue triangle shaped costume selling stuff in black plastic bags (for security reasons), then the person in the costume is none other than colin ong. So guys if u have any ahem problems, u might want to ask colin as he will give u discounted viagra (he keeps some for his own use)...Oh yeah..he said take no more than one tablet at a time unless u want to be in hospital for a week.

The person with the most interesting job is Ivan Tham. He is currently working as a management trainee at Public Bank where he is in charge of the loans department. That sounds boring isn't it? But no... he only works in the bank proper before lunch hour..After lunch, is where the magic begins. He will quickly drive down to menara public bank and then suddenly transforms into a dancer...not any type of dancer but a ballroom dancer...woooh...wahhh...U see, ivan was one of the lucky people who were chosen to perform for the birthday party of public bank's big boss. Who would have thought that ivan who we thought was shy could dance gracefully to the tune of the waltz, hand in hand with another female colleague. So, Ivan has the luckiest job among all of us where he not only gets a potential girlfriend, but is also paid fully for the month for working part time and dancing. Aren't we all envious.....

For myself, I still have one more sem to go before i finish my medic bioscience degree. This time i'm taking 3 units so it should be a bit more relaxing...or i hope its relaxing...I'm going to join the rest of the bloggers in the working world pretty soon.. On one hand i feel excited as i am going to work and to see what the world looks like out there but on the other hand when i am a bit anxious when i hear all of them complaining that their pay actually isn't much due to income tax, epf, socso, etc. There was an interesting conversation in the car where we talked about what type of investments we should delve in as we really want to be financially stable. It came to our conclusion that maybe mutual funds aren't too bad, where the risk involved would not be too great and the returns are still substantial. But still, we have to work hard and try to achieve our dreams while we're still young before we start having our families....Oh yeah..if u have any interesting investments u want to share, do let ivan tham know as he is the financial savvy guy among the four of us. This is because we all will blame ivan if we lost our capital...Lolzz....

OK..time to go..its getting very late....like 5.37am type of late...Hope to see the other bloggers contributing..(which i think would need a miracle) soon...Take care and God bless!!
