Days of my life

2010-05-07T18:31:00.000+08:00

Kinda dissappointed with myself. It's been too long and I haven't been picking up enough. Only things I'm picking up are experiences, and not system knowlegde.

Now that boo, my helping hand, is no longer here with me, I'm all alone. I'm on my own already. ColleAgues whom I thought was friends to me are using me as a stepping stone to excel. I don't mind if u guys wanna shine. Go ahead cos it's your carreer but pls don't use me as a chopping board to make u look good.

Sigh. It's time for me to step up and stab one by one. Nnbz. U forced me to do this. Being a nice guy can't get me anywhere. U wanna play chai mai? Come la. Pcb.

Time to sharpen my knife.

How i wish our r/s was plucked out from a thai lakorn (drama)....
Although
there are so many obstacles, which of cos i'm willing to take, but
at least i know that i can be with you in the end of the
story....

I was thinking that i could end my life in your warm
embrace with that greyed hair and with tears rolling down that wrinkled face of
yours but i guess things took the wrong turn instead... let's hope that one day
things would turn out the way i want it to be although it's rather impossible
already...
I've been looking at 'you' every morning i wake up and right
before i turn down the lights to sleep... you've always been there.... your
pictures dissolving from one to another on my vista desktop every 15secs... i
really couldn't take you off my mind... I've never been important to you i
know... even when we were together... i dont blame you... i trust you that you
were sincere when you said those 'i love you' to me
You loved another, it's ok... I've forgiven you totally.. you've cheated
on me... it's ok... i've forgiven you on that as well... i dont need much from
you... all i ever wanted was for you to love me...
it's all too late to say all these now i guess... it's been almost 2
years now... suddenly i just feel like saying those words and lift off that
stone for awhile...
i'm still waiting... waiting for the day to see you again... to hold you
in my arms again... you've changed me... you've made me what i become as of
today...
i loved you before...and i'm still loving you now...
Love Sincerely,
geORGE neWtoN from mEXICO, SANTA mONICA & DALLAS.....

Lover GAMBATTE!

2009-10-15T05:59:00.002+08:00

was reading lover's blog... kinda of can feel that little pinch when reading it... cos that's more or less happened to me over here... sometimes work is tough.. and suddenly you feel that you dont have anyone to lean on... you feel weak... helpless etc...

sigh... having good friends from your organization leaving one by one is a sad thing as well...

it's like, you building a kelong... then as months goes by.. the stilts starts to rot and your kelong couldn't support any longer.. then you have to find new stilts to support your kelong....

lover, think on the positive side ya... You still have friends over there that will support you throughout your bad times ya... ;) you still can find a place to chill and relax and burst out your problems to your homies...

those are some things i couldn't.... Working here is tough but endurable... like yesterday, i worked from 5pm till 11pm then had my QUICK dinner and rush back to work till 3am then i wrapped up... paperwork cost me to stretch till 5am then we left for home... and when i'm working, i was having a hard time because strength was needed... and yesterday i maxed out both my arms... pushing heavy equipments, separating of pipelines etc... now.. aching pain... but what can i do? i have 3 seniors in my shift and 1 junior.... 4 of us yesterday... and we have 4 jets that are practically down and 2 we must recover it by yesterday night... split teams... so if i cannot take it, who will take over to help? No one... so... suck your thumb, grab a smoke and get your ass back into work... that's all i can do...

The only person i can pour my troubles to is boo and felicia, ah boo's wife... i kinda pity them as the have to take my nonsense once in awhile... kept disturbing them... they've taken very good care of me when i'm over here and i really appreciate that... I Love you guys!

Last but not least, Lover... be strong ya... dont despair ya.... From what i know, you've always been a strong girl... this is the time to pull yourself up and start fighting agst the world again... take good care ya lover... you've been missed by me lots and i hope you've been missing my lameness... lolx... GAMBATTE!!!

The World's Strongest Cocktail

2009-08-06T05:46:00.000+08:00

The World's Strongest Cocktail

The 'Aunt Roberta':
•Three shots of vodka
•Two shots of absinthe
•One shot of brandy
•One and a half shots of gin
•One shot of blackberry liqueur
Yes, this cocktail has eight and a half shots in it and it still manages to taste pretty damn good because of the blackberry liqueur

Who the freek was Aunt Roberta?
It turns out this cocktail has an interesting history. It was invented in the 1800s by a mulatto prostitute who was running a bootleg drinks shack.

Apparently, she stumbled upon it when drunk and was never able to get exactly the right measures again. One of her patrons took the recipe to New York and got rich selling it in his bar.

Some friendly advice
Roughly 34 people died while drinking at Aunt Roberta's place during the two years it was open. (She also served homemade moonshine and it was a pretty rough crowd.)

So make sure you have life insurance before you mix this one up.

The Call Sign....

2009-08-02T07:29:00.003+08:00

yesterday it was our call sign ceremony for the March Rotation group.. that includes me...

Yep.. Call Sign is like a nickname that is given to everybody... they will make a name tag with your call sign on it and every friday we've got to wear it.. but of course, picking the name that you want, there'll be a price you have to pay... DRINK & get wasted... Everybody will give you a name they want you to have and input into the computer... if you still want to have your own name, the 'price' would be higher... so.. yep...

Yesterday i have my call sign given... there were like ANTZZZZ, Mexicana, Bangalah, Khon Thai, Nak Rong. In the end, i got Khon Thai as my call sign.... and paid the price... 1 Jug of bourbon coke... Forget what's the name of the Whisky but it's not suitable to mix with coke.. It sucks totally... Was almost wasted... then i started singing, when most have left for home, i feel much better.....

Now the time here is like 4.35pm... Saturday afternoon... Clothes washed? Checked! Ironed? Checked. what else? Now, wait for dinner time with my friends and probably held down to club again.... Hopefully we'll get the VIP seats tonight...

PS: Felicia.. hope that you're getting better ya... no worries about last night that boo had to go home earlier ya... Don't feel bad ya...

The Weekend has ended..... :(

2009-07-27T15:10:00.003+08:00

ya ya yaaaa.... slog for 5 days to wait for the weekend to rest and in a blink of an eye... it's over...

Gonna get my ass back to work again later... How BLUE is that? I really hope this week would be a good week... *fingers crossed*

What did i do over the weekend?

Saturday:

Nua-ed the whole day at home in my room... tried to be a good boy by doing my online course which i need to complete BUT it's either the god damn website or the connection sucks... Load for 2 hrs and it's still showing like.... "Please Wait...." Goodness me... In the end, I didn't managed to do the course... Later at night, met up with some friends to have pizzahut for dinner... Had Chicken Supreme and Super Supreme... Actually i like both...

After dinner, went to club at Myst... grab a few bottles of beer and shared 2 bottles of champagne... 5USD for the bottle beers and 40USD for the Champagne each... A waitress manning our table came over to chat with us... she's pretty alright... She looks like Jessica Alba.... and yes, her name was coincendently Jessica too... She gave us her number so as we can call her to help us get guestlist and sit in the VIP zone area... well, it was rather a great night...

Sunday:

Nua-ed at home again...till about 630pm where i took my car and drove to this Vietnam dining place. Was to meet up with Boo and Family... it's been a long time since i last saw Felicia and Aaden... Aaden is now more lively than before.. and yes, today he's 'talkative'.... Went over to Boo's place to nua abit... had 1 can of beer with him... then came home...

sigh... Monday again tmr... please make every week a good week here....

42-45 degrees celcius?!

2009-07-14T12:00:00.000+08:00

yes... today is a very hot day for me and all of us working here in Arizona... Heard it might get worse than this...

today i was working on a jet inside the hangar... but i can feel the heat from outside.. perspiring like nobody's business... felt a stubborn headache that won't go away no matter how much water i drink... That headache nearly kill my morale to work... it's always there pressing hard agst my temple... Goodness...

There's was once i almost wanted to give up and drop my tools but seeing that im halfway done with my job.. and there isn't much people to work on it... i force myself to carry on after 4 glasses of water... yes, with that bloody ache on both my temples...

i know... stop if you cannot go on... everyone knows that.. that doesn't mean that we stop every 30mins of work... because the heat is really getting too high... Temperature is going up doesn't mean your workload will go down... work has to carry on as per normal... Working here is like that.. once you lose your balance, you will see someone kicking you off the hook... it's like a man eat man world here... it's kinda scary when i think of it... can't people just work happily together and excel together?... the answer is NO.. not in this place... Suddenly i felt i came into a "MAN-EATER" Organization...*giggles*

"The HEat is on.... the heat is on on..."

First came here in March 09
Thought my career will do just fine...
After working for just 4 months
'Tong' for 2 years and this is done

Next year MDES will kick in
Wonder how we'll be doing
How Good How Bad we don't know
Hope they'll put up a good show

Heat is knocking on our door
Temperature rising more and more
Gave me a headache on Monday
"Drink more water" my friends say

Now it's 3 hrs to midnight
Time for me to say goodnight
Yes it's early that i know
Thanks for reading, Close this Window

"ringggg.... ringggggg..." "Hello!!! Hellloo..... (i'm tired and grouchy...) I'm Eugene... who are you looking for?!" LOVER!!!!!

oppz.... out of sudden i felt so scare.... whahaha.. cos i never shouted at my lover before so rudely... and i was scare she was going to scold me next.... happy that she called... seriously, lover, your voice i thought was a small girl...probably like 7-8 years old when you keep 'hello-ing'... whahahha

Anyway, even if you guys never call, i will still have a lousy sleep.. in fact your call made my felt better....

Been having sleepless nights.... i keep waking up... waking up in a shock mode or worried mode... dreams of mine are mostly about work lately.... goodness.... sometimes no dreams... but the sun will shock me in the morning... 630am it's like so bright here making me think i'm late for work (morn shift).... and 530am onwards it gets brighter making you get worried that it's so late already... and the brightness makes you difficult to sleep as well (night shift)

sigh... guys... please do send me an email about how you guys are.... email rubbish also can... pictures... anything except virus....

see you guys.... SOON...

PS: Lover i dont know yet when i will be back... but most likely it will be on weekdays and one weekend only...

Somethings you don't see in Singapore:

1) Bus here is usually not crowded... not even filled... probably like.. 2-3 passengers ONLY.

2) You can transport your bicycles by securing it infront of the bus.

3) Packages you buy online are left at your doorstep with a notice paste on your door telling you that you have a package received, in the letter box.... or at the management office (for bigger items like cupboards probably). LCD Tv or CPU sizes packages are left at your doorstep to be collected when you come home.

4) You HAVE TO STOP by the roadside, on a 'no divider' road, when a police car, ambulance or fire engine with sirens turn on.

5) If a school bus is infront of you and it stop, you have to stop behind it too... and wait....

6) bikers.... no travelling on dotted lines. Overtake like how a car does.. traffic jam? Hot Sun? Wait behind the cars as well...

7) Girls walking through the dancefloor... dance dirty with you without talking.... and walks away...

8) Guys does that to Girls who are strangers as well...

9) Strangers comes talking to you..."How are you doing today?" and walks on....

10) Hair Salon keys in your info into the computer. Name, HP, place of residencial... and after cutting your hair.. comment it into the computer on how your hair was cut... and will cut the same style upon your request during the next visit...

BeatBox... Damn.. so much music coming out from one mouth..

Can you see 2 'Aliens'? One big... and one more small one squeezing his face out of a silk cloth...
I happen to take this picture and showed it to the guide.. It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart... opps... salar... It's amazing how people can take pictures at different time of the day with the sun shining and you will get different pictures. This picture, the alien light was made by the Sun shining in.. at that point of time...

Can you see HIM? I forgotten his name. But i guess many can remember this statue of a guy with a long feather kinda hat on his head... he stands on one leg and bends his back forward playing his blowpipe. Any idea what his name is? He's those kind red indians or Navajo Indians or some kind. That's his face craved out by nature... That's what they say...

He's MINE! I will not let him go... !! whhaha

Me and... Mr BIG Dancer Guy...

Saw another face?

Can you see that blaming flame?

This I will post certain pictures only. For more interesting pictures, please view it at:http://picasaweb.google.com/gene36/AntelopeCanyonPageArizona#

"hmmm.. was nice talking to you yesterday... felts so relax inside... until i saw your nickname... got me thinking alot... sigh... how come after so long you still lingers inside my heart?... though it was a short time being with you but you made such a deep impact on me....i dont think i can forget you... just by seeing your picture... it will make my legs go weak and think back every single memory of us being together..."

"... where ever i go... i think of us being there before.... there was this time i miss you so much that i went to the park that we used to go and walk by myself on the jogging tracks with tears controlling at the tip of my eyes, not letting it fall... your voice... your scent... your voice... your giggles.. everything. i can still remember all those well... i can even remember the place time and date of our first kiss..."

"i really really hope we will have another chance... and i will end up walking the aisle with you.. getting married... but i know it's rather impossible... but i'll still try my best to wait for you... till the day when you get married, i will stop waiting..."

"i never been in love so crazy before... you are the first that made me do crazy things... things i never thought i would do.... just for you... sigh... i really hope one day you will be mine again... but nevertheless, since you are my friend now.. and we are on talking terms.. i'm happy enough... I rather have you as a friend than to lose you forever... Take good care of yourself and drink more water ya.. -winks-"

Happy Birthday BooBoo Darling ~~

2009-05-11T08:23:00.004+08:00

Yoz... Happy Birthday ya booboo darling...

Known you for like five years soon ya... hmmm.. Just letting you know that you are a good friend to have. I'm lucky to have known you. You rox!!! A good friend, a good darling..(ahem...), a good Father that loves Aaden much, a good husband? That im not sure.. whahaha

Yep, I repeat myself again... You are indeed a very good friend to have... We've been thru together on things like studying STMs, Clubbing, Drunk, Chevroning etc that made me realized you are indeed a great friend. Hopefully we can survive this career we are having now be it in PCII or in Singapore... and still be friends even if one day, we're out of force...

Happy Birthday once again ya...

Below are the photos that I took. Not in order though...

Oh, and for those who want to know how did we sabo him... He was actually like wrapped to the chair. Water, Ice Water, Jack Daniels, Grass, Flowers, Eggs, Flour were all pour on him... Just a plain plan of Sabo but it was fun... esp when i see my seniors & their families enjoying themselves saboing Boo...

Seeing adults playing such a prank on Boo made me realized that even we aged, there's still a certain part of us that is still 'young'. I took about 30secs or so standing there and seeing the adults men, my seniors, saboing him and them laughing and enjoying themselves... it got me thinking with a smile...

You guys ROX!

Have you been in Thailand for too long?

2009-05-10T07:50:00.002+08:00

You know you've been in Thailand too long when:-

You think it?s normal to have a beer at 9:00 a.m.

You begin to enjoy Thai TV programs.

You look four ways before crossing a one way street.

You realize that ALL your problems are caused by Thai girls or cranky ATMs.

You put salt and chilli on your fruit

A Thai cop stops you for a minor infraction and you automatically reach for your wallet.

You think that a Honda Civic is a prestigious car.

All your tee-shirts are emblazoned with the name of some bar.

You can?t remember the last time you wore a suit and tie.

You think a polo shirt and jeans are formal attire.

Someone tells you that watching Thai politics is like watching two chameleons making love and you understand the analogy.

You aren?t upset when the bar girl next to you eats beetles as a snack.

Later the same night, you actually kiss the bar girl who earlier dined on the beetles.

You haven?t had a solid stool for five years.

You wake up in the morning and realize that you have nowhere to go and all day to get there.

You think white wine goes well with Som Tam.

You understand when your Thai wife says, ?My friend you? or ?Same, same, but different.?

A Thai bar girl you?ve just met tells you that her mother is deathly ill and you just laugh and walk away.

When driving a car you'll start using every free inch of the road.

You stand in the shadow of a telephone pole while waiting for a bus.

You realize that your Thai wife?s loyalties belong to:-
1. Her parents.
2. Her brats from a previous marriage to a Thai scoundrel who deserted her.
3. Any remaining blood relatives.
4. The family buffalo.
5. The family?s goldfish.
6. You.

Happy Birthday Lover!!!!

Trip To South Mountain. -Online Album-

2009-05-04T15:13:00.003+08:00

Sorry guys... did try to post the pictures one by one online here at my blog but something crops up... meanwhile, you guys can visit the website to view the pictures i've taken...

Went up South Mountain with my roommate today... was about 70miles from where we are staying...

ok, it's late already, time to sleep... Nites guys ~

Radius @ Arizona

2009-05-03T19:20:00.002+08:00

went to another club named Radius... Many girls.. fat thin tall and tall...

most girls are tall... went into the crowd to dance... guys gals.. all so bloody tall... can't see no shit...drank only 2 coronas and one test tube drink.. Damn it was hot!

Fat gals are pretty in their own way as well... i must admit.. some fat chicks are hot!.. their faces will overwrite their figure... Im not agst fat babes anyway...

Overall, not much to update also... just a normal clubbing event...

PS: I realized the angmo guys are really something... They will just approach any gals and dance with them... and the gals will play along... and after dancing for like 2-3mins... the guy or gal will just walk away.. never even exchange words...*thumbs up*

What a day to start of Labour Day...

2009-05-02T04:53:00.003+08:00

Day: Friday
Depression Mode Started: Wednesday.

This week is a tough week for me... physically and mentally...

Busy untill smoke break for me it's like hours for me.. 4-5hrs before i can get the next stick.. yesterday, it took me 8hours before i can have my 2ND stick. 13hrs of work.. on LABOUR DAY.

Physically challenged by the equipments here.. heavy... and mentally challenged by the system...

I must learn to work alone.. be independant when it comes to working here...

Contradictions I faced (pls note these are only examples, not the real thing, because day in day out there are too many similiar cases which so fit into this example):

Equipments are heavy. Cables of equipments are heavy.

By the book: Two man lift.

"What you waiting for? Cannot carry yourself...? weak leh...so slow.."

Carrying it myself. "ouch..." "see.. i told you to wait leaw.. here stated 2 man lift"

Summary: Wanna do it fast, you'll receive comments... if you chose to do it slowly by following books, you'll get comments too... I bet you guys get this at your workplace too...Everywhere is the same just that how severe it is only...

"If the good does things careful, people will say.. see how good he/she is working.. everything also go through before proceeding... but if the bad does the same, they will be commented... hey... can please dont waste time anot... must go through until so detail..."

Is working that difficult? Is working such a pain in the ass? Does the people you work with makes your work enjoyable/unenjoyable?

So please people, do think about it... making others happy or unhappy when it comes to work, be it whatever position you hold, you make a difference to someone's mood when working. Even a toilet cleaner can make your day... and with a 'thank you so much', you can make the toilet cleaner's face from a frown to a smile...

YOU make a difference to your workplace...

Have a bit of patience and be positive...

I shall keep up with my work... For now... I'm learning as much as i could.. and hoping next week would be a better week.. Will be continue with my reading up on systems...

Oh.. there's one thing i wanna complain...

The higher you get, the less work you do... DAMN THIS RULE! Think out of the box.
Same Pay different work. DAMN!

--pehchek--

Dear Diary...

2009-04-28T19:03:00.002+08:00

I'm rather low morale at work... I'm really trying to keep up at work... Everybody's working so fast as in everyone's knows what to do next... while i keep forgetting... Maybe they have been here longer and knows what's going to happen next... I believe i'm not lazy at work. I do what i'm being told.. but here.. people do things even they are not being told.. they know what to do next.. that i would need to observe more and learn.. I really hope i can keep up with the pace everybody's running at... and I too need to brush up my system.. Super low morale when i dont know things... :(

I need to learn fast... Been reading up on my systems already... Everyday i will spend time reading one topic... but it seems like my work.. it based on experience as well.. that i need more guidance... it's like whenever i go by the book, my seniors will tell me.. "do like that faster right?" then i'm like look so stupid going the long way around... but when i dont go by the book in certain job, they ask.."you do like that no need this this this ah?" i look stupid again... (not everytime they say this also like.. just qouting some examples only..)

Did i make them sound very bad? ACtually no.. they are nice people really.. just that when comes to work.. everyone seems to be more serious with things and want to end work quick also... but overall, they are nice people...

Just wanna complain to you only, My Diary...

Let's pray tmr will be a better day at work bah... Please help me learn fast...

Thaksin has been found out!!!

2009-04-15T05:15:00.002+08:00

By Thanong Khanthong
The Nation
Published on April 15, 2009

Before noon yesterday, key red-shirt leaders like Veera Musikapong and Nattawut Saikua, among others, realised it was time to cave in. They understood that it would be futile to continue fighting because their boss, Thaksin Shinawatra, had been finished.

Yes, the plug had been pulled and the fugitive former PM was completely routed.

It will be difficult for Thaksin to seek asylum because most countries would not want to welcome him now that they have witnessed the riots and subversive tactics used by his supporters in Bangkok. Thaksin was caught telling blatant lies on CNN and BBC, feeding false information to the global audience that his red-clad supporters were fighting for democracy - when in fact they were burning Bangkok to pave the way for his return.

He was reading a script, telling the international news channels that the military had killed many of his pro-democracy protesters, when in fact there was not a single such case of death reported. The only two people who died, had done so during clashes between Bangkok residents and the protesters.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva was wisely exercising restraint, allowing Thaksin to make blunders.

Thaksin, who bet all his political fortune on April 13, has failed miserably. He had his red shirts set fires around Bangkok just as Neptune overshadowed the Sun - a bad omen.

He thought he had big military and police bosses on his side, as well as some politicians on the government wing. He remembered to move his family out of Thailand a few days before the Songkran inferno. Khunying Pojaman is currently shopping in Dubai, still with plenty of money in her pocket.

Thaksin thought he could hold Thailand hostage as he bargained for his return, his amnesty and his Bt76 billion in assets. He thought he was entitled to a royal pardon because he had Thailand in the palm of his hand.

But his strategy backfired. Thaksin failed to get critical mass support. On the contrary, Bangkok residents rose against his red-shirt supporters, who were burning Bangkok while he - just as Nero fiddled while Rome was burning - was singing on his karaoke machine. The subversive tactics being used by the red shirts appalled the global audience.

This was a critical factor. If most Thais were to rise against the red-shirt movement, then Thaksin could only go under. Thaksin thought that the burning of Bangkok would force the country into lawlessness and the military would step in to intervene in his favour.

The plan did not work.

The whole world realised that Thaksin had duped it all along, and many Thais were disgusted by his ability to destroy the nation in exchange for his return to power.

Bangkok was ravaged all Songkran Day, before the security forces brought the situation under control. By then Thaksin must have realised that the game was up.

Now all the red-shirt leaders will be going to jail under treason charges. If you plant gas tanks and threaten to set them ablaze, you are committing an act of terrorism and subversion against the state. It is not too difficult to trace who ordered the trucks to be brought onto the streets.

Now Abhisit has emerged as a strong leader. He has almost transformed overnight from a lame-duck PM who was forced to cancel the Asean Summit in Pattaya into a leader who can defuse a political crisis in a subtle and artful way. There were no deaths during the authorities' crackdown against the red shirts. Only two persons were pronounced dead, both as a result of shooting by the red shirts.

Abhisit has prevailed despite the military, the police, the security people and his own political partners plotting against him.

Though we have no evidence to substantiate doubts that these top people are linked to Thaksin, we did not see Army chief General Anupong Paochinda or police boss Patcharawat Wongsuwan show up while the red shirts were ambushing the Asean Summit. The security forces were not doing their duty, standing by idly as the protesters wreaked havoc in Pattaya.

So far none of Thailand's top security people have come out to admit that they failed to provide security for regional leaders and Thailand's guests.

Abhisit is known to have sought advice from a special unit, set up in haste under his command. As Thaksin played his cards one by one, the advisers countered each hand effectively until Thaksin lost his bet.

At this hour, with the power of the emergency decree in his hand, it is Abhisit - not the Army chief - who is the most powerful person in Thailand. He must use this occasion wisely by controlling the red shirts and dealing with the failure of the security apparatus, which has been undermining national interest and the government's stability.

We expect to see a reshuffle of top security and peacekeeping personnel soon.

However, if Abhisit resorts to his image of a timid Oxford graduate, he would be missing out on an opportunity to take the country forward. Now is the time for him to stand tall and be the prime minister of Thailand.

My First Night Shift

2009-04-15T04:34:00.002+08:00

yeah.. had my first night shift last night. Good experience but a tiring one.

had a defect on the jet... started working right after dinner and non stop. Didn't have much time to smoke either.. :(

Busy night... Duty Trade was mine too... so end of the night, our trade would need to do some clearing up of drinking water.. topping it up... throwing of rubbish etc..

(oh shit!)

was making my lunch, instant noodles, as i was too lazy to cook... couldn't find a big bowl to put

my noodles in.. put it in a metal pot, with handle, and left it to my microwave to do the heating up. As the microwave was too small... the metal pot couldn't turn inside the microwave.. the pot was in contact with the inner side of the microwave and actuallly burnt a little part of the plastic in it... SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE MICROWAVE... goodness...

Everything's fine now.. now left is to get the smoke out of my apartment while im blogging here... ARGH!
