The moment of truth

The truth revealed itself!

I went for the anonymous HIV test at Pink Triangle. It was a long tedious process with pretest and post test counseling by one of their trained counselor who is a volunteer. His name is Eugene and. He was kind, gentle and very understanding. As it is my second test since the last one I did at the private lab back in Feb this year, I was still kinda nervous and hope to get it on with the test and not get involved in the 'fact findings' with the questionnaire.

During registration I already filled up a questionnaire on personal details like age, sex, sexual orientation, but no need for personal details like name, identification, address or phone number. I was given a number tag identifying myself as 375. This is the call number used through out the session. During the pretest counseling there was another questionnaire which involves more private info like whether penetrative sex was involved, the nature of sex like whether it is anal or oral or other kind (fetish or maybe acrobatically kind of positions used, maybe?). Whether I have any history of STD and the type and frequency of my sexual history.

As for the sex, I said I have protected sex occasionally (which is without the use of condom in this case). I disclosed that I only have one regular partner and I have allowed him to ejaculate in my mouth. These are very private information but I did not hold back any details as far as the questions are concerned.

Eugene gave me the ranking of no or low risk. The significant of this ranking is that the person might be asked to come back for more regular testing if considered high risk. Notwithstanding any ranking, the person is advised to conduct safe sex or abstinence. The next best policy is to have less casual sex partners.

After this pretest counseling I was led to the other room for the prick test using ACON test kit. BTW, Eugene already explained to me at the pretest counseling, the type of test kit they used and what the result means. He also told me that the test is 99.9% accurate. If the first test result is positive, me being in low risk, a second retest will be done on the same day. If the result is still positive, then they would advise me to go for a test at the Sungai Buloh general hospital where they have a panel doctor to handle my case. Or I could choose to go to any private clinic for more test.

In the testing room, there were two other guys, both also volunteers, who explained to me the test procedure and the meaning of the test result. They have access to my answered questionnaire put into the folder. After he pricked my fingers for two drops of blood, he put in some clear solution into the test kit and asked me to wait outside the room. He informed me that the result would be available in 10 minutes time.

Later Eugene was back and he went into the room to retrieve my folder. He again brought me to the same counseling room. Once we were seated and behind closed door, he promptly retrieved the test kit and showed me the reading. There is C, T1 and T2. If there is only one red line on C, it means I am negative. Other combination like C+T1, C+T2, C+T1+T2 shows the result is positive. Other combination shows there is error.

Though I wasn't overly concern prior being shown the result, nonetheless I heaved a sigh of relief knowing that I am negative. Eugene reminded me that I should still take precaution with future encounters since the test result does not reduce any risk in the future.

Then Eugene conducted the post test counseling and explained the work and nature of Pink Triangle foundation. He also update me on the yearly event of HIV and AIDS awareness on December 1st and 2nd. They welcome volunteers to help manning of the booth and all other works. It is a carnival like event where they would hand out pamphlet and free condom to create awareness. The event took place since year 2005. Oh BTW, the anonymous test was sponsored by the Ministry of Health official since July 21, 2006. PT foundation has started conducting the free and anonymous test from July 7, 2006. My number 375 indicates that I am the 375th person who did the test at the foundation. He said the number of person who turned up for the test is encouraging.

So that was the episode of my recent visit to Pink Triangle. Do help spread the word and encourage your network of friends to go for the free and anonymous test. Donation is encouraged.

Miserable Job, Anyone?

I have been a faithful reader of Patrick Lencioni. When I found out his latest book was out at the bookstore, I went to The Borders @The Curve to check it out.

I finished reading the last chapter at The Borders. When I realized it has a 20% discount, I decided to get it first hand. Older books of Lencioni are usually bundled as box set as Christmas gift. So if you are thinking of collecting them or giving them away as gift, check out the box set. Lencioni has 5 books so far.

His latest offering "The Three Signs of a Miserable Job" is another runaway success just like his other books. I have extracted part of the interview of the author specifically on the 3 SIGNS as below:

The first is anonymity, which is the feeling that employees get when they realize that their manager has little interest in them a human being and that they know little about their lives, their aspirations and their interests.

The second sign is irrelevance, which takes root when employees cannot see how their job makes a difference in the lives of others. Every employee needs to know that the work they do impacts someone’s life--a customer, a co-worker, even a supervisor--in one way or another.

The third sign is something I call "immeasurement," which is the inability of employees to assess for themselves their contribution or success. Employees who have no means of measuring how well they are doing on a given day or in a given week, must rely on the subjective opinions of others, usually their managers’, to gauge their progress or contribution.

Life's Two Questions

I wanted to put this on my cell phone, but my telco won't allow me. Here it goes...

"You've reached the number of Imeku. You may think that this is an answering machine. It is not. This is a questioning machine. And there are two questions: Who are you? and What do you want? And lest you think those are trivial questions, consider that most people go through their entire lives without ever answering either one." Beeeep!

Cool, right? Food for thoughts for today.

Glad to be Back!

Hi! People! I am back!

It has been a so-so trip to Shanghai and boy! I am glad to be back in Kuala Lumpur.

Today's weather forecast in Shanghai announced there is typhoon and heavy downpour. Phew! I am glad that I am out!

My Books

These are the four books that I bought from the recent Shanghai Book Fair. They are Wordworth edition and Bantam pocket classic edition. They should be available in KL too, but not sure of the price.

The Jane Austen complete novel collection is RMB75 and the rest is between RMB20-25.

I also bought five rolls of the adhesive book wrapper which is RMB7 per roll. It is good for 10 paper size books or 5 normal size books. This should prevent any tear and wear, especially dog ears, on the cover of the books.

Boyzone

This evening at 2010 hours, on CCTV Music channel in Shanghai, there is a programme on the best music concert compilation. The artist featured include Kylie Minogue, Sarah Brightman, Elton John, Tina Turner, and many others.

What caught my attention is the rendition of "No Matter What" by Boyzone. On 3rd August 1998 this song hit the #1 UK, #2 AUS, #12 US Adult Contemporary Chart. The lead singer is Stephen Gately. I think anyone with a good gaydar would be able to single him out. His mannerism was kinda soft and effeminate, so adorable.

Stephen came out and gave his story to The Sun which published the headline "Boyzone Stephen: I'm gay and I'm in love" on 16 June 1999. In 1998, Stephen revealed that he had started a relationship with Eloy de Jong, a member of the boy band Caught in the Act. Later, Stephen dated Andrew Cowles and they were married in a civil ceremony in London on 19 March 2006. And get this, Cowles was introduced by no other then Elton John, and his civil partner, David Furnish.

I also like the other lead vocalist, Ronan Keating. I find his most memorable track is "When You Say Nothing At All".

Annual Book Fair at Shanghai

It is the annual book fair at Shanghai. The first one was held in 2002. I visited the one last year which was held at a different venue.

It runs from 15 to 21 August 2007 during summer holidays before school reopen on 31 August. The admission fee is RMB10 for one day pass.

The discount wasn't that great during last year book fair since I could get better discount at Amazon China, which could be 15 to 70% off. But it is a real treat for me book hound, to browse the books and the latest titles, leafing through the books and admiring the glossy covers.

New Day in Shanghai

This is my second trip to Shanghai.

The weather has cooled down a bit and not as hot and humid. All because there were heavy downpours for the last few days. According to the locals, it will be autumn soon. I can't wait for the temperature to go down a bit more from 35 Celsius to 30 and below.

This morning I saw a comment to my post 'Unfriendly Malls', I am not able to view it right now since I am in Shanghai. Anyway thanks for the comment and you are welcome to post your comment and I will read it once I got the chance.

Yesterday there was a farewell dinner for one of my colleagues. He has left for KL for good this morning. You can view the pics of the dishes that we ordered and group photos. The link is here. No prize for guessing me in the photos.

Unfriendly Malls

Yesterday my mom and I were at Ikano Power, the Curve, and Cineplex. To our dismay, the access path to the Cineplex from the Curve is badly designed.

There is no ramp for the sky bridge on the first floor connecting the Curve and Cineplex.

The ramp on the ground floor where the exit is blocked by the booths and whatever passage left is so narrow, it is difficult to maneuver the wheel chair.

The access area at the Curve was heavily blocked with tables and chairs and diners. The restaurant should not place the chair and tables until it is so narrow for the wheel chair to pass through.

Just look at the photos. I conclude that the malls are not so user friendly to the handicap.

No More Blog

I would arrive at Shanghai around 1430 today.

I am now waiting for departure at KLIA. While in Shanghai I would have no access to blogspot since it is censored or blocked in China. I won't be able to read your comment real time but please keep posting them and I would reply to them when I am back to KL.

I may be able to post new blog but would not be able to view it myself. So please come back and check for any new post.

Book Lovers Beware!

To say the book fair by Popular at Amcorp Mall is disappointing is an understatement. There was limited number of books and the concourse area is too small. Popular has used the various shopping malls' concourse area and so far the best was at Summit SJ.

I was at Amcorp around 4pm yesterday and did not know what to buy. Gasp! Maybe it is the end of my book buying days. I dare not think of it.

Then I strolled to Pay Less at 1st floor and it has never been one of my favorite hang out place. I explore the other floors and came across Reissued which specialized in imported magazine at lower rates. Next to it 'was' Book Xpress as there is a sign saying that they have moved to Lot 3-57 with more floor space.

The store is brightly lighted and the display and shelves remind me of the newly renovated bookstore ala Times. There weren't that many customers at the hour but I am sure business will pick up soon. The books are all new (unlike Pay Less where books with dog ears) and at nearly 1/3 of the original price.

@Kyle, I did not buy any book from Popular.
@Magus, there is a hardcover print of Covey's "The Speed of Trust" only at RM29.90!

I bought three books, "Brokeback Mountain", "John McEnroe" and "Teacher Man". May be I would do a book review later. All for RM51.70. I love the cover of Annie Proulx's book which is now a major motion picture. I must say that Ang Lee has done justice to the story based on Brokeback Mountain.

The cashier told me that Book Xcess has been in operation for the last 6 months. This is the only branch in KL and they intend to open up more stores in Malaysia. Good news to book lovers.

Transformer

I picked up this Snille swivel chair from IKEA today. My mom and I were there at 1015 and we thought we're early and surprised to see Ikano Power already so crowded.

So this is the before and after picture of the chair. Thanks to the brilliant design and it only needs basic skill to read picture and intuition to assemble the chair.

We also went to Aussino and bought the bed skirt for the coming Slumberland mattress. Yesterday at Jusco MidValley, I have bought two sets of comforter bed sheet as there is a sales up to 70% now. I can't wait to dress up my new bed.

The Ante is Up

I finally placed the deposit for a Slumberland bed mattress. The tag line of Slumberland is "The Most Comfortable Place in The World".

I have been a Slumberland follower since 1995, I bought super single and later a 3-seat sofa. Now I have finally decided to get a queen size bed.

Get this! It is the Bio-ceramic Sanctuary with a posture spring divan and Oxford headboard. Tada! And the price is RMx,800. The next in range would be Royal Haven which is more than double the price!

The sales girl said she will be kind enough and promised to swap the two anti dust mite pillow which is FOC with the more expensive ortho-posture pillow which has a list price of RM368. You can check out the pillow at Harvey Norman.

The Bio-ceramic fabric is woven with a special fiber, made with many different kind of ceramics mixed with mineral oxides, like Silica Oxide, including nano sized far infrared materials and nano sized photo catalyst materials.

And the benefit of far infrared ray? Supposed to improve sleep quality, micro circulation that activates and adjusts blood vessel flow, body's general metabolism, it also reinforces the immunity system and eases pain... too good to be true? Maybe it is all marketing gimmick.

Now I can't wait for the mattress to arrive. But I would be out of KL for a month, so I have asked them to delay the delivery until I am back.

What a Burden!

I could not help to include the extract from this book on "empowerment":

"All too often, managers put people in charge of a project but fail to give them the authority to get the job done. For example, a senior executive may ask a manager to work with the marketing department to develop a new launch campaign. However, the executive fails to inform the people in marketing of this and gives the manager no resources or budget to carry out the assignment. The manager is responsible for the project, but does not have the tools needed to succeed. This is akin to hiring a general contractor to build a home, but not giving him the authority to hire carpenters, masonry workers, electricians, and plumbers to assist him. Any assignment where responsibility is dispensed without authority will quickly run into roadblocks. The process will alienate those involved because they will be responsible for the lack of results and will be expecting discipline rather than kudos. Is it any wonder, then, that the concept of empowerment has become so tarnished?"

Does it sound familiar to you? You are given tons and tons of responsibilities but not any authority to execute what you are asked to do? There is no support, no resources, no power and yet you were expected to deliver.

Unscrupulous

Next time when you are out shopping, beware of unscrupulous vendor!

The latest Nokia 6300 promo ads published the price as RM899 officially and the package comes with a 1GB microSD card.

On Nokia website, the original package comes with the 128MB microSD card with SD adapter and full software like theme, graphic, games and Dictionary. Yes, a dictionary on cell phone.

I bought mine at recent PC Fair at the RRP. The vendor gave me the 1GB card no doubt, but he swapped it with the original 128MB and did not provide the SD adapter, nor the software.

So I borrowed my friend's original 128MB and transfer additional theme and the Dictionary into my 1GB. The game and other software is write protected. At least now I am happy that I have dictionary on the go, which is Eng to Chn and Chn to Eng. Too bad there is no Eng to Eng. Well, it is not a perfect world after all.

Sales! Sales!

It is another book fair by Popular.

This time it is at Amcorp Mall, PJ. The sales runs from 7 August (today!) till 15 August, 11am to 9pm. So hurry! Go and grab your copies.

Based on the ads, English book is 15% for one book and 20% for two books or more.

I will probably drop by one day.

Carnation for my Mother

Carnation
Originally uploaded by Red_Kitten

The other day my mom and I were at Ms. Read, at Mid Valley branch and 1 Utama branch. The sales is on and I bought two blouses for my mom.

The boutique specialized in oversize lady garment of size from 12 to 24. I find that the price is quite reasonable and value for money. If you have friends who might find these garment appealing, please let them know where they could get them.

My mom said she will keep one of the blouses to be worn when her time is up. She even gave me instruction on how she would like to be dressed and all that. I felt a cramp in my stomach and I just nodded my head.

MPH Sales

It is another sales by MPH bookstore from August 1 to 5, 2007.

I was at 1 Utama MPH. However the sales is only valid for MRC card member and mine already expired in Nov 2006. So if I wished to enjoy the discount of 15% to 20% on books, I need to pay the renewal fee of RM10.

Knowing that I still have tons of books unread and gathering dust at home, and my mom won't approve for buying new ones until I throw away some, I decided to forgo the sales. I find excuses that there is nothing interesting to buy and read though I would like to get my hands on "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne and "Social Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman. Further more I have a membership at KL City Hall library and they have a good collection of books and CDs.

I think I am a collector of all sorts. I collect books, DVD, music, and more books. But I never find the time or get around to read the books or watch the DVD.

Object of Desire

She is an absolute beauty. Look at her curvature, her sleekness and smooth skin.

This is an object of desire for many men, I supposed.

This phone is offered free by signing up a 24-month 125RM airtime plan with Digi. There are not one but four phones to choose from. But Samsung SGH U600 and F300 are top of the crops. Together they belong to the Ultra edition II family.

I love the U600 for its reflective mirror-like coating around the TFT display and no forgetting the touch menu keys which respond to the slightest movement of the fingers over the touch sensitive keys.

I also like the F300 for its two-face design. BTW, it also comes with an extra battery in the form of the phone pouch or cover. For a mere 9.4mm thinness and 77g it felt so light in your palm.

Read about the review at CNET.

Nonetheless, I bought the Nokia 6300 for its simplicity design. Simplicity is more!

Another PC Fair

200604 convention centre
Originally uploaded by superciliousness

The time has come, for another PC Fair.

It couldn't be more an appropriate time but in the midst of Visit Malaysia Year 2007 sales carnival.

As usual, the venue was jam packed. There were people everywhere in all the halls. There is always something for everyone.

As usual, I would drool over the VAIO notebooks. This time it is the newly launched TZ series for its 11.1" display and long life battery of 11.5 to 18 hours of usage.

There are so many things to explore but too little time.
Too long a wish list to fulfill, too little money. Enough said.

Life Passage

What do you do when your friend pour his heart out telling you his newly developed relationship with a girl was ended prematurely?

Well, I would sit down by him and hear him out. I would imagine what it is like if it was I breaking up with a boy friend. It is the same kind of story and situation. Love hate relationship, bgr or boy girl relatonship. But it would be bbr for that matter. When you entered into a relationship, you better braced yourself for a sweet and bitter journey.

I wanted to tell him that there is no difference between him and I. I also have the heart break, the regret, the irreconcilable difference in life style, opinion, and whatever. One can find a thousand and one fault to make up a break up reason.

Is true love so evasive? They said the only couple that live happily ever after is the wedding figures that live on top of the wedding cake.

Torn

Yeah! I am torn for a decision.

Being an indecisive person, it is always hard for me to make a decision, what's more when it is related to money.

Should I get the Zitron or AP set? The price difference is not much but still it is a hard decision.

It is the Nokia 6300 now comes with a 1GB microSD card for RM899. It is the object of desire for me and I could not get it off my mind. Not that I need a handset badly, but the current one is more than 2 years old.

When you are ready to dump the old one, you would start to pick on it, finding excuse to replace him...urm, I mean it.

Should I pamper myself and get this cutie? There are two many to choose from. Oh! My head hurts so badly now. I think I need to lie down.

I am back!

KLIA is probably the best airport since it is the airport that I came home to after a trip. It is always good to come home to familiar ground when you are away in foreign land. I just want to say "I am glad to be back".

First they banned wikipedia.

Now I can't view my own blog page in this foreign land. I can't get my daily fix of reading other's blog (on blogspot) and leave my two cents worth of comment.

Later I also found out that I cannot view the photos on Flickr.com. What's going on here, man?

So, sorry guys and gals. Though I could not comment on your blogs, I am able to view them via Google reader, a God sent tool.

P.S. This is an old blog which was not published on 27 June. I got fed up since no point if I can view my own blog and the comment from others. However, here it is in its original form.

Slumber

I could doze off standing.

It was non-stop action from the moment I stepped down from the MAS airbus at Pudong international airport. I managed to catch 40 winks on flight between 4am until 6:30am before it started its descend.

After freshening up at the hostel apartment, off I went with another colleagues to meet the big bosses at the hotel. It was meeting the entire morning until we went back to office for lunch. I have to keep myself awake through out the afternoon until 6pm. Back at the apartment, I could not go to sleep yet until a quick shower and a late dinner. No mood to go out so we had delivery of fried rice.

It is already summer in Shanghai. The day time temperature can be as high as 36 (degree) Celsius. Luckily we have company car and all offices are air-conditioned. If you walked on the street during high noon, you would inevitably be drenched in your own sweat.

Time is Up!

CHINA - Shanghai
Picture by Franck - フランク - 法兰克

So this is it.

The time is near.

The plane will take off at 0140 hours from KLIA heading north. It will bring me back to where I came from exactly a month ago.

This is the land of hope for her people. This is the place where super power will emerge. To me, I am only a passenger, watching my life path intertwined with those. Maybe it's fate that we met, maybe it's fate that brought us apart.

Hopefully this will be the final trip on work. As they said, it is hard to mix pressure with pleasure. The work comes first and it is hard to relax.

Wish me well.

Next Trip

Bad news!

The call came when I least expected it.

I was counting the days since I left Shanghai and came back to KL. Two days, one week, 28 days...

First came the email, followed by the call from my boss from Australia HQ.

He was in Shanghai last week. He called and asked if I could be in Shanghai for at least a month to help settle some critical issue. There is no way for me to say "NO". I don't think he would take a rejection.

Oh! Well, come what may! Maybe it is unfinished business since my departure. I just need to go back in and settle it once and for all. Hopefully this would be a good trip.

My worry is that my mom would be on her own again. She would be alone one more time.

Answer to My Prayer?

What is the best way to beat the traffic jam blue in KL?

What offers you air con, comfy seat (ok, not so comfy after all), stress free ride through the thick jam during peak hours in the morning and evening?

While you could enjoy light music, reading pleasure and let the driver brings you to work and back to home, safe and sound? Too bad it does not come with ice blend mocha. Am I asking too much?

Today I took my maiden ride on the brand new revised RapidKL network (it is considered new starting from 21 April 2007 as stated on the official website) to work. I paid RM2 for the 'all-day ticket' on the the Utama (Trunk) bus network, I could have unlimited ride for the day on the same network. Rapid probably figured out that on average each person only takes 2 rides in a day.

This system benefit commuters in a few ways:
1. Spread the fare across and share the burden;
2. You only pay once and then show the same ticket stub to the bus driver for all subsequent rides on the network (provided you don't lost the ticket). No more fumbling with small change and coin.
3. Saving for me from having to drive and to park my car for RM5 per entry.

It is only 20 minutes ride from my neighborhood to Sentral Station. Due to the rain and heavy jam in the evening, I spent 30 minutes waiting for the bus and another hour in the bus. However, I could now sit back and relax, (pretend) to read and listen to my MP3 player.

The annoying things are:
1. The bus is never on time, and it does not keep to the frequency stated;
2. You have to brave the elements, like today's sudden downpour starting at 6pm;
3. Massive jam at stops like the one on Jalan Tun Sambanthan in front of the monorail station.

Joy is about discovering alternatives in life!

Ocean of Knowledge

I used to like browsing the bookstore.

There are so many to choose from. My favorites include the MPH at Mid Valley City and 1 Utama; Kinokuniya at KLCC; Borders at Berjaya Time Squares.

I would stoop high and low to thumb through books that caught my attention. Mostly it is the catchy titles, the glossy finish of the cover, the smell of it. Well, you are not supposed to judge a book by the cover anyway.

I used to enjoy window shopping at the bookstore.

As always, I would end up buying books which I read a few pages and lost interests quickly. I would always say to myself: one of these days, I will spend all my living days reading those books.

I used to love scouting for surprises at the bookstore.

I could find exotic coffee table books at Hong Kong's Page One at Harbour City, Tsimshatsui. There are photo books by Adu, M1, Tom Bianchi, glorious male body in its best form.

Today, I was at the MPH MVC briefly. Alas! Life's little pleasure shall not be denied.

The 'Lift' Man

Have you seen him before?

Who? You asked.

The 'Lift' man. Not spiderman or superman, just the Lift man.

He would be there in one of those lifts in the morning when I arrived, diligently wiping every bit and part of the lift cubicle, all six of them. Then the sliding door on each level of the building, from the basements to all the floors. He's there when I take the breaks or leak. He's there when I leave. All he needs is just a small pail with a wet cloth, a dispensing bottle with detergent.

Day in day out, he does the same routine over and again, scrubbing imaginary stain on the wall of the lift. He's probably from Bangladesh, the exporter of laborer of the world. I wonder how long he has been at it, and how much longer he will be doing it. Is he with his family? Has he ever felt homesick?

He probably has seen all the faces who work in this block, people who go up and down the floors using the lift day in day out.

Our life paths cross everyday yet we know nothing about the other person. A lonely city of lonely strangers.

A New Beginning

I think I would like to start blogging.

I hope that you would chance upon my blog and tell me what you think. It is lonely living in this city and having to keep the darkest secret all the time. Through this blog, I will share my inner thoughts on anything that cross my mind.

Life, friendship, sex, dreams, disappointment...
