The Mole

KLANG FAMOUS CHICKEN RESTAURANT IN MIDVALLEY. Kelly is seen walking into the busy store. All of the table is full. A lot more customers are seen queuing at the front entrance. Kelly walks into the door which leads to the staff office. His attire is a formal suit. One of the staff approaches Kelly.

MADEMOISELLE: Ah Kelly, luckily you came on time.

KELLY: What is the matter?

MADEMOISELLE: There is a problem. One of the customer is complaining why there is no Babi Special in the menu.

KELLY: =_=”…pork? This is KFC la, not Klang Famous Pork…

MADEMOISELLE: Ya, but he say in Thailand, there is Babi Special on the menu.

KELLY: =_=”, tell him this is Malaysia, not Thailand. He can go and have the Babi Special or Ali Baba Special in Thailand or whatever.

MADEMOISELLE: That’s why I say there is a problem.

KELLY: Huh??? Apa problem?

MADEMOISELLE: That guy out there claims he is the editor of Bon Appétit magazine…

KELLY: (Eyes wide open.) Bon Appétit?? The famous food critic magazine? You sure he is what he claim he is??

MADEMOISELLE: You can go and have a look.

KELLY: Bring me to him.

Mademoiselle brings Kelly to meet the person. Walking out from the staff area to the dining area, a lot of waiter/waitress is seen very busy serving the customers. Mademoiselle points her finger to the person which sits at table 67. That person is wearing a sleeveless shirt with a normal blue jeans. He is around his twenties. Kelly approaches the man.

KELLY: Halow, I am Kelly, the store chef manager. How can I help you?

RIKU: I believe your waitress have told you about my complaints.

KELLY: Yes, she did. But I am very sorry that our store doesn’t serve Babi Special. Would you like to try our famous Ayam Special or Hawaiian Special?

RIKU: What is this? In Thailand, I can get that menu in KFC, why not here?

KELLY: Well, I am sorry, this is the…

(Riku interrupt before Kelly can finish his argument.)

RIKU: I don’t care. I want to have Babi Special now. If you can’t make me a Babi Special, I’ll leave, and I will leave a remark in Bon Appétit magazine about your store. This is really unbelievable.

KELLY: (Thinking to himself.) You little chee bye kia, Babi Special, Babi Special, I gip you a Babi Tampar on your face then only you know. (Talk to Riku.) Please, please, calm down, calm down. I will prepare your menu personally. But since your order is a little special, it might take a little longer then usual, but I promised it wont be too long. Is that alright?

RIKU: If you are preparing me a Babi Special, I can wait. But not too long, else…

(Kelly interrupts)

KELLY: (Showing a palm sign.) Trust me, trust me. It won’t be too long. Mademoiselle, please serve this gentleman a plate of appetizer before the main dish arrived.

MADEMOISELLE: Alright. (She walks back into the door leads to the kitchen area.)

Kelly left Riku and go to the staff area. He goes to his locker room and gets changed. He head to the kitchen, wearing a chef attire. All the chefs salute him.

KELLY: Clement, get me the TSP flour,

Clement is one of the chef in the kitchen. He has been working along side with Kelly as his assistant. Furthermore, Kelly is the store manager in Midvalley KFC, which makes him the superior in Midvalley KFC.

CLEMENT: Ooh. (He walks to the ingredient rack. Half way, he stopped and asked Kelly.) Err…what is a TSP.

KELLY: Tai lou, yao mou kau cho ar, you been here for so long and you don’t know what is TSP?

CLEMENT: Sorry Kelly. Forgot jor.

KELLY: Textured Vegetable Protein, is a meat substitute made from defatted soy flour. Since we have no pork, I am planning to make an artificial meat using TSP. Hope this will fool that fella out there.

CLEMENT: Ooo…okok, I go get it for you.

KELLY: And go ask Mademoiselle to contact Tasty Chain for the Babi Special recipe ASAP.

CLEMENT: Alright.

After Clement got Kelly the TSP flour and the recipe, he begins to prepare the meal. He begins to beat the flour on the bowl, mixed with warm water. He later added some seasoning on the flour. Then he shapes the flour into the shape of a burger patty. It took him around 20 minute to prepare the dish.

KELLY: Kautim. Hope this Babi Special will fool him. Mademoiselle, get this dish to the customer.

MADEMOISELLE: Ok.

Both Mademoiselle and Kelly walk to Riku’s table. On table 67, Riku is seen having a plate of fries. Mademoiselle approaches him and put the plate on his table.

MADEMOISELLE: Excuse sir, this your order, Babi’s Special.

KELLY: I hope you’ll enjoy the meal.

RIKU: Thank you.

(Riku begin to feast, he cut the meat wrap with a thin layer of flour similar to roti canai with a knife. Then he pierces the slice with a fork and put it into his mouth. He starts to chew it, and his eyes were wide open.)

RIKU: Wah, I never taste anything like this…SEDAP!!

KELLY: (Phew.) Thank you.

RIKU: This is even better then the one I had in Thailand. I will comment your restaurant in my magazine.

KELLY: I am glad you like the meal. Alright then, I got to excuse myself.

(Kelly left the scene with Mademoiselle.)

(Scene cut to staff room. There is a few staff were on their break. They were chatting and having their meal.)

MADEMOISELLE: He says he is from Bon Appétit, tipu wan. Veat and meat also dunno how to differentiate.

KELLY: Haha, see that fella look more like hamsapfella magazine editor rather then Bon Appétit editor. Go Thailand eat Babi Special…I think maybe he go Thailand order aqua. Hahahaha

Suddenly, Clement came in with a wireless phone.

CLEMENT: Kelly, it’s for you. (Hand the phone to Kelly.)

KELLY: (Took the phone.) Hello?

STEPHEN: It is the day of reckoning…mobilizes the Jedi Knights…

KELLY: =_=”…Stephen?

KELLY: Ya, everything is prepared. We are good to go. I’ll see you there tonight.

STEPHEN: Alright. (Hang up.)

(Kelly put the phone down on the table.)

KELLY: Clement, get squad A ready, tonight is the competition.

CLEMENT: Already done.

KELLY: Good.

(Scene cut to back alley of the restaurant. Kelly is looking left and right. He wants to make sure no one is around. He takes out his handphone and dialed.)

KELLY: Hello. Marcus, it me.

MARCUS: Kelly, what do you have for me?

KELLY: Stephen kept the menu for the competition, but I have the draft menu, I will email you later.

Double Agent

Year 2006

SYCOM. Kelly walks into the shop. He looked around the shop, full of computer peripherals placed the display case. It seems there is no one in the shop.

KELLY: Halow, halow!!

(Joey rose up. He was crouching behind the 2 foot display case.)

JOEY: Meh si? (Yawn.)

(Joey face seems like he just woke up from a sleep, a sleepy look.)

KELLY: Err...I wanted to buy a speaker.

JOEY: What model you are looking for?

KELLY: Can I see what model you have?

JOEY: Come, over there.

(Joey walks him to the speaker department. There were a lot of speaker models in the rack. Kelly slowly scans the rack.)

KELLY: Any recommendation? I am looking for gaming and music.

JOEY: Hmm, this one la. The Logitech X530 5.1 Speaker. Combine with an external Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX. Just like Tony Leung said “Kou Yum Team, Chung Yum Zhun, Die Yum Keng”. Here, we play this mp3.

(Joey plugs the speaker and the sound card into a workstation. Then he plays the MP4 – Lei Lou Dau Sok K. Both of them listen the sound quality. Joey seems to be satisfied with the product. After a few minute listening to the music, Kelly went to the next rack, he found another model.)

KELLY: Hey, try this one. Listen to this kind of music, this Altec Lansing ADA106 is better.

(Joey took the speaker and plugs it into the sound card. They listen to the same music again. After a while, Joey was amazed with the sound quality produced by ADA106.)

KELLY: Well, if I buy both of this, got discount or not?

JOEY: You buy the speaker here. The sound card you go get from Jusco. If you got the J Card, it will be a lot cheaper.

KELLY: Alright.

(Joey took Kelly to the checkout and he bought the speaker with credit card. One man walks in to the shop. He is wearing a SYCOM uniform, unlike Joey, who is on his casual outfit. Kelly walks out from the shop. Before he reaches to the main door, he looks back and asked Joey.)

KELLY: You sure the Jusco sells a lot cheaper with a J card?

JOEY: Yea, trust me. A lot cheaper.

(Kelly gave Joey an OK sign and walks out. The man with the SYCOM uniform confronts Joey.)

FAI: Woi Yew Jai, I asked you to “jaga” my shop, not advertising people’s shop la.

JOEY: Fai ko, you stuff really expensive man. Furthermore, you forced me to “jaga” the shop for you. Yesterday I also not enough sleep.

FAI: But you also no need like this ma, I am your cousin you know.

JOEY: Cousin tai sai ar, no pay me also. I got to go la. Got work.

(Joey walks out from the shop.)

APIIT TPM, ROOFTOP. A man in suit is walking to the east, at the direction where Joey is waiting. That man was Stephen.

STEPHEN: Hey, how are you?

JOEY: Lei wah leh? Last time you told me it will be only 3 semester. Then you request me to work for another 3 semester. And another 3 semester. How long now? 4 years already man…F**king hell…

STEPHEN: You f**k me again I will delete your identity in the database. You can stay as a hawker forever. Do remember that only I alone know your true identity.

JOEY: I still got Robert. He can back me up, unlike you. Always spin me around with your stories and CON me with it.

STEPHEN: You didn’t know, it seems. Left us, Robert has. In peace, he is…

JOEY: You mean he die jor?

STEPHEN: Your head, die. Resigned, he has. Offered a job for him, the NBA has. You and me, the only one left is…my young padawan.

JOEY: =_=” Can you please stop the Star Wars Yoda wannabe.

STEPHEN: In brief, Robert is no more and you are now directly under me. Anyway, did you learn what is Marcus’s secret menu for the competition.

JOEY: Nope.

STEPHEN: You really the “cha sui”. Tiny stuff you also couldn’t do.

JOEY: Woi!! I only started to work in Marcus’s restaurant 3 month ago. You think very easy ar? You do la!! Tiu…

Joey was very irritated with the behavior of his superior. Stephen was taken aback. Both of them broke into silence for a few minute.

JOEY: Gimme some more time. I will tell you as soon as possible. He ordered an item from South Africa. But I don’t know what it is, he is a very careful person.

STEPHEN: Ok, once you finish this assignment, I will transfer you back.

JOEY: Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. You have said this more then 9000 times.

STEPHEN: This time is for real ok. Trust me. Here, take this. (He hand him a Nokia 6630 phone.)

JOEY: A Nokia 6630? What is this for?

STEPHEN: This phone got 3G, can use to do video conferencing. Anything you can show me by using the 3G function.

JOEY: =_=”…Come on, you are what? A regional manager right? Still using this crap ar? Here, I borrow you mine. (Took out his Nokia N80.) Nah, this is what I call 3G phone, got 2 camera wan, with advance features. (He hand it to Stephen.)

STEPHEN: =_=”…Now you lansi me la… (Yet, he took the phone from Joey.)

JOEY: … And by the way, why we must always meet at APIIT TPM rooftop? Why not other place? You think you Infernal Affair punya story ar?

STEPHEN: You like or I like?

Suddenly, an Indian man approached. His hair is all white and with a moustache. He wears a blue shirt with a tie.

ANTHONY: What are you two doing here?

STEPHEN: Err, sir, just enjoying the view sir.

JOEY: Ya, haha.

ANTHONY: You two no longer an APIITian. You cannot trespass this area. If you wanna have lunch, you can go to the basement. But you cannot access to our APIIT building anymore. Else I will have to call the police.

The Lone Skylinez – Season 3 – Episode 004: Emotions, Ups, and Down

Busy, that is the word. Being rushing assignment this pass few weeks. On last week, the entire labs equipment is down. I mean, not all actually, but only two cabinets of equipment are fully functioning. We have around 26 routers, 18 switches, and 6 hubs in the labs. One cabinet consist of 4 routers, 3 switches, and 1 hub. The assignment requires us to use 3 or 4 routers, 3 switches, and 4 PC to run the experiment. But on that particular week, non cabinet have all those requirement fulfilled except 2. They have either 2 routers functioning, or not enough cable, and PC setting gone. The baddest idiot is the one who put password to lock the configuration mode.

-END of Credit Roll-

When the router is lock with a password, we need to reset the router. It is quite complicated process, where u needs to perform a power shut and several reset command. At the end of the command, if you type the wrong file name for the command “copy run start” into “copy run tart”… The router somehow overwrite the start file with tart file, hence the startup OS is overwritten and gone. I forgot how the concept works, but all I know u are dealing with an empty router, like a formatted empty PC with no OS, only BIOS. We usually perform our testing in Ellison Building lab C005. But we have another undergraduate lab in another building across the road. It is known as Pandon Building. They have the similar equipment but in much more small scale. But it is adequate to perform the experiment. There is a few number know the existence of this particular lab, I knew it because I did my undergrad networking subject here. So, I went there to perform the test with my friend Zach.

On the last week, the lab existence was exposed. When I went there late, the lab is already full, but luckily got 1 more space for me. Most of them did the work in groups, but I think it is kinda hard because me and Zach got conflict with the IP address and method of acquiring evidence. So we split up, it work much easier. We manage to finish and submit the report on time. I also took the luxury to take a few pictures on the routers I set up and also the game lab. The game lab is specially designed for game programming students only. Sometimes, I saw a bunch of them using them to play games. See them playing games there like playing games in CC rather then programming games.

Unrequited Love(source wikipedia)

Unrequited love is love that is not reciprocated, even though reciprocation is usually deeply desired. This can lead to feelings such as depression, anxiety, and mood swings such as swift changes between depression. The expression is nowadays usually used in a negative sense, but even today there are many people who knowingly or unknowingly accidentally live in or even purposely strive for a frame of mind.

Falling in love produces a very different hormonal and psychological state than that of an established, mature love, even when such an older love is very happy and fulfilling. Many people crave this feeling so badly that they repeatedly look for new objects of infatuation and even break off old relations when this causes them great emotional trauma (often repressed). Many accidentally discover the much less traumatic ways of attaining the "high" they crave by flirting or by looking for an unattainable object of love. Especially poets and other artists often do this deliberately — in fact, many are not able to be productive otherwise — and they often know that this way of loving and living was much more common in past centuries.

For probably most people, however, being in unrequited love is a torturous experience. For them too, however, it can simultaneously be a source of great joy, sometimes providing the lover a sense of fulfillment for having somebody to love, even though that love is not returned. The lover may feel this satisfaction is worth the emotional distress they must suffer. They may prefer to stay in love rather than move on. However, for the majority it can be a very frustrating and upsetting situation to be in.

When you tell your partner about your unrequited love, the following are likely to happen

· you become closer.

· The status quo remains the SAME

· There will be awkwardness in the beginning but things return to normal.

· THE FRIENDSHIP ENDS

Unrequited love may last a very long time, as long as a few decades. But the lover's feelings usually reach a breaking point and the love ends. The following are reasons why unrequited love can end.

· The lover receives reciprocation from the loved

· The feelings subside.

· The lover acknowledges that their feelings will never be returned.

· The lover channels their devotion towards another person.

Unrequited love can result in obsessive behavior such as stalking and even transform into hostility toward the object of desire if the love is rejected, though this behavior really is more of an exceptionality than the norm, and is usually rooted in much deeper problems than a broken heart. These sorts of behavior can lead the afflicted person to be seen as "perverted" or to a lesser extent, simply "creepy". Conversely, unrequited love has also been the inspiration for and topic of many great works of art. Such works have brought hope and inspiration to the lovelorn and romantically inclined for centuries. Whether a particular case of unrequited love is interpreted by an observer (or by the love's object) as being sweet or creepy is a complex and subjective issue.

There is a movement towards making people aware of this as being an illness which leads to many people committing suicide.

This is the emotion I am enduring right now…
