euj
10-31-2005, 10:19 AM

euj
10-31-2005, 10:43 AM
probably more like dog flu. just got them back last weekend and i've spending a lot of time with them and they've been sleeping with us in the bed.

siewjang
10-31-2005, 10:53 AM
:amazed: It's going to make headlines if put that in the media :squeeze: .

Sila
10-31-2005, 11:21 AM
yayyyyyy euj didn't forsake us after all!! :D

bummer about the cold. dude, you been plagued by that these past few months...poor euj.

LiLiaN
10-31-2005, 06:12 PM

LiLiaN
10-31-2005, 08:23 PM

Sila
11-01-2005, 09:54 AM
how come i never get to work at the race track?? and if i said that at work, people would think i was trying to take illegal betting.. hehehehe :laugh:

euj
11-01-2005, 10:08 AM
the melbourne cup is like the kentucky derby of australia. it's also called 'the race that stops a nation'.

Sila
11-01-2005, 10:10 AM
ah the old kentucky derby. never been. i hear the mint juleps are good there :D

hope it is a good race and a good work day for you. tomorrow i have to go to work and to my usual slog.. :(

euj
11-01-2005, 10:11 AM

if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
never make a pretty woman your wife
from my personal point of view
get an ugly woman to marry you!

which alley cats song? i bought a koleksi of them and i loooove listening to it. reminds me of my childhood.

Sila
11-02-2005, 11:49 AM
long time i haven't seen ray lah...didn't see him when i was home this year..

euj
11-02-2005, 11:53 AM
can't remember the name, but the chorus goes:
'telah lama ku gagal dalam bercinta...'

euj
11-02-2005, 11:54 AM
long time i haven't seen ray lah...didn't see him when i was home this year..
it's easy to see ray. all you have to do is call him up and meet him at a mamak in PJ...
here's one of pebs and colin...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/eujene/IMG_1626.jpg

Sila
11-02-2005, 12:01 PM
she's gorgeous, as always!! so happy to see her :D

i think the Alleycats song you mentioned is "Seribu Bintang"? and can you believe wikipedia has an entry on Alleycats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleycats)??

euj
11-02-2005, 12:04 PM

i'm assuming you mean pebs?

ah yes, that's the song. i have a best of alleycats too, but can't remember where i put it. :(

Sila

yes i mean pebs!! indra's beautiful too, but she's not the bride in this case :D

poor vin, i made him listen to alleycats several times and translated the songs for him. hey, in translation, when i thought about the words, it's all very similar. all about love and disappointment when love goes sour! or when one dies. etc... amazing how cheerful the song "andainya aku pergi dulu sebelum mu" is, given the subject matter! :D

euj
11-02-2005, 12:10 PM
yeah, pebs looked great. haven't seen her in that great shape since high school!
i love alleycats...

euj
11-02-2005, 12:12 PM

awww...euj literally was dr and aunty hoo's 2.5th kid - mei lin, mei chin, at 2.5 we have euj, then docmac and colin-boy (who since mei chin married a guy named colin will forever have to be lin-boy to differentiate between him and colin!).

mei and colin look great together - and i always thought she was hot.

euj
11-08-2005, 12:59 PM
we'll be in malaysian on 23/12 till 9/1. I have a wedding on both weekend. in between i'm planning on taking indra to penang during the week just to look around georgetown for the week. gotta find out what there is to see around there. the old colonial architecture there is beautiful. i'm thinking about staying at the eastern and oriental hotel. any tips?

siewjang

euj
11-10-2005, 10:18 AM
oh no! poor sila...hope you're feeling better.
we haven't played futsal since last year. indra was in a mixed team and i joined them once.

Sila
11-10-2005, 12:02 PM
it looks like half a golf ball is sticking out of my forehead. it doesn't hurt unless i poke at it so i'm ok. i think i'm not concussed ;) :rolleyes:

siewjang
11-10-2005, 12:14 PM
Sila, rub the sore area with hardboiled egg. Hope you are ok.

Sila
11-10-2005, 12:35 PM
i'm in my hotel in connecticut so can't get boiled eggs right now - but i got ice from the ice machine and put it in a hand towel and keeping that on the bump now.

in this country 'bonk' has a different connotation...

LiLiaN
11-15-2005, 05:20 PM
oh, i think i know what euj mean... *giggle giggle*

euj
11-15-2005, 05:41 PM
yeah, the culture here has a number of similiarities with britain.

LiLiaN
11-15-2005, 06:03 PM
makes me wonder, what does the word "shift" means in aussia culture?

euj
11-15-2005, 08:40 PM
moving house?

LiLiaN
11-15-2005, 08:45 PM
huh... maybe it's an irish thing then...
shift here is used in the context like snog...
and i really really dislike this expression...!

it sounds disgusting... what does one hope to shift into another person's mouth?! *shudder*

euj
11-16-2005, 12:45 AM
i'm thinking bodily fluids. and in this case, i'm thinking saliva? or are you talking about the tongue?

LiLiaN
11-16-2005, 01:04 AM
i'm not even going to think what's going to pass... :p

Sila
11-17-2005, 07:54 AM

LiLiaN
11-17-2005, 05:05 PM
LMAO... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

anyway, euj, any luck with the football tickets today??

euj
11-18-2005, 10:37 AM
still no luck. dunno what to do lah. also need to know the draw next month before i book accomodation, but already very hard to get. maybe i'll have to camp or get a campervan. or even hire a car in france or england and drive into germany!

LiLiaN
11-18-2005, 06:14 PM
oh dear... that doesn't sound very good...
does indra know anyone in germany who can help..?

euj
11-19-2005, 06:14 PM
i think she has some relatives still there. will have to check with her. i just checked the campervans. will cost about 2000 euros for our month there!
and if we use eurail it's really expensive too...die lah...

Sila
11-19-2005, 11:50 PM
wow die hard bola fan, man.. :D

euj
11-20-2005, 11:40 AM
actually i enjoy cricket more, but the world cup is going to be such a spectacle, plus the planets are in alignment cos it's in germany, i've lived there before, indra's from there and the socceroos will be there!

Sila
11-20-2005, 10:50 PM
that is all true! still sprechen sie deutsch? is it "futbol" in german or is that just spanish?

if you do have an RV of some sort, be careful, dreamwh might crash your party ;)

LiLiaN
11-21-2005, 07:12 AM
whoa, that's verrrryyyyyy pricey! :eek:

euj
11-21-2005, 12:11 PM
yeah, really expensive. right now i'm thinking we might just spend a week in germany at the beginning of our hol in mid june and catch 1 or 2 games. then 2 weeks in holland, england and france, and then 1 week again germany.

Sila
11-21-2005, 12:14 PM
how many vacation days do you get a year, euj? i'm just wondering. i think we get the fewest paid vacation days ever.. :(

euj
11-21-2005, 12:22 PM
we get 20 days a year here. so, looks like i'll be oweing the company when i go to europe.
how many days do you guys get sila?

LiLiaN
11-21-2005, 05:30 PM
2 weeks for holland, england and france..? that's going to be tight, time wise...
unless you're only doing say, amsterdam, london and paris...
coz if you want to do more than 1 city per country for these...
then it's going to be difficult coz they're quite separated geographically speaking...

but it'll be a cool holiday though... sounds really good!

by the way, ireland has 20 days holiday entitlement for everyone....
and luckily for graduate students like me, it's 30 days!! woohooo!!

Sila
11-22-2005, 12:01 PM
we start out with 10 vacation days a year... :crying: and 7 public holidays...

LiLiaN
11-22-2005, 07:11 PM
that's very little isn't it...?? let me see... how many public hols we have...
1st jan (new year's day)... 17th march (paddy's day)... easter bank holiday... may bank holiday (labour day)... june bank holiday... august bank holiday... october bank holiday (halloween)... christmas and st stephen's day... 9 days altogether... sometimes if employers are nice, get good friday off on top of easter monday too....

yeah, it's going to have to be just the major cities unfortunately. any ideas what we can do? i definitely want to go to the louvre and notre dame. indra really wants to go to holland. i also want to go to the british museum.

LiLiaN
11-23-2005, 05:46 PM
oh there's lots and lots to do in paris (and i absolutely love it!)...
actually i was talking to my bro just last week...
he's thinking of going somewhere with my sister in law for holiday...
and so between ourselves and our cousins, we may be going to paris in june!

in any case, for some idea what you can do...
pop over to my blog, get the archive entries for may 2005...
there are several entries there of what i did when i was in paris this time round... :)

Sila
11-24-2005, 04:32 AM
that's very little isn't it...?? let me see... how many public hols we have....
yeah... after new year's i get nothing until may... that's a ROUGH stretch man...

LiLiaN
11-24-2005, 06:21 PM

where in australia was it and what industry? in our sydney office people often work till midnight, but i think at the end of the day it's about efficiency. i find a lot of people in sinagapore and malaysia put in a lot of hours but spend a lot of time going for coffee, chit chatting and just hanging around. i usually leave by 5:30pm here, but i don't take lunch breaks, we don't chat much at all and it's usually flat out the whole day.

great. i'm sure we'll have a great time. on the other hand, i was thinking about surprising indra and renting an apartment on the amalfi coast which looks straight onto the ocean. you guys could drop by for a couple of days. how's that as another option?

here's a pic of indra dancing with my fourth uncle, who's 73, who came over from malaysia for my cousin's wedding last saturday...
