Double-blow

August 13th, 2007 by les7beck

Something happen today..and it wasn’t at all what i expected. Sometimes I don’t understand this universe…

Though I tried, though I hope, though I pray, it never came..

Is this what the Lord wants me to experience?

What can’t HE make me feel good?
Why can’t HE let me taste success?
Why can’t all the good things befall me?

When I start to pile up the confidence block around me, cannonballs start firing at me, 2 in fact, a double blow, breaking down every fraction of the walls around me..

I feel naked and cold…not a single warmth,yeah…and I’m beginning to pick myself up again to continue this journey call….L I F E

My Haunting Experience

August 4th, 2007 by les7beck

Haunting

Date: 03/09/2007

Time: 8pm-10pm

Location: ASSB Office

Due to the hectic sorta work that I’m beginning to get accustomed to, I did overtime ONLY when its absolute necessary.

It just happen that during this fine day, my boss suddenly gave me an assignment which is in crucial need for the following day-punya-meeting. Nevertheless, I would have to finish it.

So, in order to CLOSE-UP certain report, I need to liase with the technical supervisor in Singapore, I started skyp-ing with him from 6 onwards, then he claim HE’S HUNGRY, so we put off till 8 pm, when I finally came back to office, I found out that the office was totally..i mean..TOTALLY deserted and pitch black…

I quickly ON the LIGHTS and air-con, get to my cubicle and continue my work………………then I notice the SILENTness was too freaky…OMG…its like….no noise at all, so damm unnatural..

My initial reaction was to ON the music…and I did tat, I feel a lil better, then I heard noises…with the icy feeling that the back of my hair was standing…OMG…I LOOK AROUND, looking for the source of the noise…but I dare not investigate….

At the back of my head, images start playin… a colleague once told me that a driver died and haunted the office for a while….she claim that the tirez start spinning by itself…

There’s more, another colleague told me that the aircon automatically ON by itself when there’s practically no ONE around…and OFF…

I start making the sign of the cross, said a prayer…then continue doing my work. When I FINALLY finished talking to the supervisor in Sing..i practically CABUT!!!

When I get back home, I’m still shaking, darn..I’m so thankful that I didn’t see anything coz when they say that the back of your hair is standing…something quite unnatural might be jez standing next to you….I heard sounds..practically…BUT I’m thankful I saw nothing..

Never again I’ll stay ALONE in the office after working hours no matter how urgent the work need to be done……

My Working Life

June 24th, 2007 by les7beck

I am stealing a few minutes of my life to write this….time slips by so damm fast, especially when your busy. I’ll convey my working life experience to you peeps…

It has been 2 months plus..coming 3 months, I’ve been working already. Achievement-wise, I’m sorta a certified ISM Auditor, had the offshore trainings, did some ISM stuff for the company, preparing certification matrix, attending HSE MS and Operation Meetings etc etc. The real test is NOW, out of nowhere, I found myself being the focal point for a vessel (to-be-chartered) to shell.  Throughout that, I begin to see the attitude of fellow colleagues, some just find excuses when you ask them to do stuff, and BEING “LESLEY”, I had a hard time convincing them…more likely I’m slap with sarcastic remarks…one of which “ I dunno how to do…you  so clever, you go do lar” Btw…that’s just one of ‘em.

Not only must you deal with your colleague…but also your boss(ES), imagine yourself having 3 boss(ES), and each of them just THiNK your doing only one of their jobs? Hahha..can’t they see I am doing 3 different jobs? LOL…..Those 3 jobs are further split into 3-4 parts, accumulating to 12 ITEMS!!

Hmm….I’m illustrating it as simple as I can already, ahha..so, plz understand!!!! Working life (for me, right now) is very very hectic. I felt I have no life ..suDDENLy. It’s a scarry feeling I tell ya…even reading/watching a movie also need to rush.

For the past 2-3 days, been working up to 930 pm..sigh, sigh…its another job, known as PMS (I knw what

ur

thinking), but

ur

wrong, its not Pre-Menstrual-Syndrome, it’s the PLANNED MAITENANCE SYSTEM…tedious work..really, gotta check and correct 4 logbooks(for each ship(s), which is subdivided into months)…did I forget to mention deciphering handwriting as well? End of the day….you’ll find urself spinning,

ur

fingers cramp due to intense page flippin…the worries that lingers whether things tomorz will be done…the list continues….

Yeah, I am complaing..a lottt. Coz I’m practically stuff up. The only solace I can find in this job is experience..with a price though. I’m sick throughout working, being in and out(to vessel, wearing thick PPEs) of the air-con room (wet sweat becomes dry sweat..get wot I mean?) I’ve begin developing chronic coughs..sigh, waS heal…and now it(S) back…

Tell me…when will this end?

Quick bloggy~

Jane sez : Ginkgo Ginkgo, keys..keyyss…

Ginkgo: Ran towards the chair, climb the chair and look for the keyz on the table (clumsily) then after pourin thru the mess, she found it and bring it to Jane…damm impressive…

They’ll go like…u’ll do this because my…blah..blah…why they cant just say " Can you help me to do this or that?"…and then say the magic word "Thank you"? hahha..i’m just bored man, writing stu stuff…not specifically mentioning anyone in particular, as long ur in my frenzter list, i still love you…lol…

Measure a Man

October 8th, 2006 by les7beck
I find this lyric very meaningful and sad 

If one day you discover himBroken down, he's lost ev'rythingNo cars, no fancy clothesTo make him who he's notThe woman at his sideIs all that he has gotWhy do you ask him move heaven and earthTo prove his love has worth?

(Chorus 1:)Would he walk on water?Would he run through fire?Would he stand before youWhen it's down to the wire?Would he give his life upTo be all he can?Is that, is thatIs that how you measure a man?

If by chance all he had to give youWas three words wrapped around your fingerWould that be deep enoughAt the end of ev'ry day?And how will you ever knowIf a man is what he says?Why do you ask him move heaven and earthTo prove his love has worth?

(Repeat chorus 1)

(Bridge:)He never gives upLets go of his dreamsHis world goes aroundFor his one true beliefIs that how you know?Is that what it means?

(Chorus 2:)Would he walk on water?Would he run through fire?Would he stand before you?Will he be your anchorWhen the dark unfolds?Will he always love youThe best that he knows?Would he give his life upTo be all he can?Is that, is thatIs that how you measure a man?

(Chorus 3:)Would he walk on water?Would he run through fire?Would he stand before youWhen it's down to the wire?Would he give his life upTo be all he can?Is that, is thatIs that how you measure, oh, ohIs that, is thatIs that how you measure a man?

Testicles are expensive to own and operate!

October 8th, 2006 by les7beck

Men have wallets, which means we were meant to have money. Men
have testicles, which means we were meant to have sex. Men have muscles, deep
voices, and fast cars (except for computer geeks) which means we were meant to
have power. Unfortunately men drink beer, which means we have sex with anything
in a dress, empty our wallets just to make sure we have sex with anything in a
dress, and then crash our powerful cars into trees, trying to make a clean
("thing in a dress" is passed out in all her naked glory on the bed) getaway
from the (ob)scene of the crime.

Women will try and tell you that this happens because men think with their
"little heads" and not their big heads, but I’m here to tell you we don’t think
at all. Nope, our neurons are not even wired up. What all too often gets
mistaken for a thought, is really just a reaction. Figuratively speaking, a
man’s world is full of soft, curvy, fragrant, expensive things that act like
irresistible lures, and irresistible lures are, well, irresistible.

You see, it all starts when we’re babies, the first time we get our mother’s
tit shoved into our face. This isn’t just any old tit mind you. It’s the left
tit*, and the left tit is filled with what is perhaps
the most debilitating drug ever discovered… testosterone! Testosterone is
worse than Heroin, Crack, Meth, Uppers, Downers, Pot and Pork Rinds put
together. It’s even more powerful (although not much) than alcohol at making
ugly look pretty, fat look thin, and a big ass look like a good idea. Mix the
two together, and you could wake up as a played-out stunt double in a Tijuana
Donkey Bar, and I’m not talkin’ about a standing in for the donkey.

It’s true that men don’t like to be told what to do by women, but for not for
reasons of supposed superiority. Most of the time we just can’t comprehend what
women are saying, because we’re not really thinking about anything besides what
sort of underwear they’ve have on (if they’re wearing any at all), what they
look like naked, and what it’ll cost us to see them that way. Truth be told,
we’ve risen up from the Primordial ooze that gave us life…but not very
far.

It’s true that men do feel powerful when we have money, because one way or
another we figure we’ll be able to buy our way into a woman (literally) before
it runs out. This is a legitimate belief as long as our favorite brand of beer
isn’t on sale, our pork rinds aren’t stale, our favorite female cousin lives
just a couple of trailers over, and we don’t live too close to a Tijuana Donkey
Bar.

Scientists have studied men and their "complexities" for ages and still
haven’t come to the obvious conclusion that men are not complex at all, and
therefore couldn’t possibly have any complexities. Basically we’re just fish out
of water looking for the shiniest lure, or the smelliest (in a good way mind
you) bait we can find. It’s not rocket science for chrissakes, it’s biology.

My Father…

June 18th, 2006 by les7beck

To be honest, i don’t think i wud ever blog again…but yeah, think i will dedicate tiz to someone who has given me life and hope in life, he’s non-other than my father, Stanley Liew Tien Sze.

Being a guy…i cudn muster the word " i love you" in front of him..so i sed it here, Dad..I LOVE YOU! Today we went to Miri Cafe and had Roast Lamb, Bacon Salad and Oxtail soup, the meal was heaven, hehehe…both father and son share the same palate :P (but its only me and him, mom had some functions to attend to…hmm, dad seemz a lil dissapointed?) I wanted to treat him…initially, well..tatz if i won yesterdays bet..so, i guess tat wud have to wait till i work?

I wanted to post up the picture when my father carried me in the Muzeum of Wax in UK, behind superman.. when i was 2-3 yearz old. God..he was really good-looking, no wonder there’s so many girls after him…well…tat time…anyway, i still think he’s still pretty steady now. When we were younger, me and my brother were often at each other’s neck….and my dad wud come out with the huge rottan…i still shiver when i think of tat, but then, he didn’t canned us…he slam the cane on the table…shattering the glass table, i didn’t knew why he did tat time…but i come to know tat b’coz he love us too much, he cudn bear to hurt us physically…

Then, a few weekz back, when i’m rushing against tides, my father was there to support me, he cudn do anything academically to help me, but he’s constantly prayin and trying to fulfilled my every needs..I remember that day, when i found out there wasnt anymore brand’s essence in the cabinet, so i just casually asked if there’s still any? He drove off and specially get me dozen’s of it..he practically rushed and get me…as if it’s a matter of life and death thingy…i didn’t knew y he rush tat time, but when i discovered wot he did…my tearz almost betrayed me…but well…i hid it well…sed thankz and leave the scene…

Today, he shared a lot of things wif me..he’s life experiences. Amongst of which..where people look down on him just because he’s from a poor family background. But what makez me respect and honour him is he’s honesty and the way he handle all the obstacles in life….i knew i cudn do tat if i were in his shoes……..

But the Lord doesn’t make anyone perfect….he;s got a lil temper and prone to worry and get cranky over stuffz, well…i thiNk i inherited hiz genes in thiz matter. But then, he’s very good with people, as in socializing, well…especially wid girls..yeah, he flirt in front of me..but i knew he love my mom whole-heartedly..so, shud i worry?Tiz is one "gene" i didn’t inherit from him, i’m terrible wid girls…hehe..Well..i knew age was catchin up on him…..and i wanted to give my dad the best things life cud offer…i earnestly hope the Lord will bless my father with good health and longevity for me to fulfill my duty as a son…Amen.

Today-Mix Feeling

May 20th, 2006 by les7beck

Had a ball game in Boat Club today, well..that place bring back fond memoirz..sigh, being there and then..it all comez back as if it had just happen…

Anyway, yeah, played the game, scored a couple and asist a few(:P like usual) yeah..enjoyed the game altho i’ve major cramp on boTH legz, reli rusty from not playin soccer frequently…….

Well..actually i don’t feel like blog-in, not in circumstances i’m in…but yeah, it’s the only way to convey messages is thru blog…i guess…so, yeah…

Hmm..well, casting all my work aside, was looking forward for a good catchin up..well..with someone, but yeah..i feel i’m being given the "cold shoulder" treament. As for the reason remaINS annonymous, the only one i could think is due to my negligence..well, was it me?

Hmm…was truly dissapointed,well..very~ Wanted to share stuffs and things that’s been going on lately. I’m not being negative in any sense…where any1 fitted in my shoes will feel exactly the same…

The feeling..well, it’s undepictable, it almost felt like a turbulence motion raging inside me..yeah, been staring at the screen…in an emotionaless way..the time ticks..yeah, and i’ve been staring at the same window for the pass 30 minz……

yeah, i feel really stupid(and i guess those who are reading tiz will think so too)…and seriously i dunno why? I’m on the verge of breaking down..yeah, and all i want is some1 to share tiz wif…some1 whom i trust…and cared a lot…but it doesnt happen that way…the only solace i cud find..is reading celest blog, well..it’s truly inspiring…
