Merdeka!!

Yay!! Independence day!! Ok ok, so I'm a little late in posting this but I guess I was celebrating to much on the eve itself!

For those who are completely clueless, every year Malaysia celebrates its Independence Day on 31st August. This year me and a bunch of my friends celebrated Independence Day in Bar Karma in Hartamas. It was quite fun! It's been a while since we all met up, with us working and stuff. Getting together is insanely difficult lately. Still, it was fun to catch up with the same bunch of suckers who skipped class with me in college. Man! Looking at how we behave in college, it's hard to believe we're now actually respectable professionals!

Let's see, Anand's a consultant (emphasis on the word 'con'!!), Mus is an engineer (whether he's a systems engineer or a network engineer depends on what time you call him), Shah's in management (we all bow down to him but the bastard still hasn't treated us to lunch. Bitch! =P), Jeremy's also another engineer (doing a lot of support work for some pretty nifty security products!) and Niradj is the resident Oracle expert (still no lunch from this guy too!). It's amazing when you consider that each of this suckers I mention are the same jokers who played Dungeon Siege (Niradj the champion with 24 hours of playing continuously...or was it 30?), Counter Strike (Jeremy's deadly with the assault rifles!), C&C Renegade (Shah whooped our arses and it was him vs 3 of us), Ghost Recon (Mus kept killing the bloody hostage!) and Alien vs Predator (I was deadly as the alien! =P). All this cybercafe sessions were obviously done during time when we're supposed to be in class. Heh heh!

I guess books can never be judged by its cover. =)
