BerukBoy, BerukBoy, where fore art thou BerukBoy?

2004-09-18T09:00:00.000+08:00

In case any of you sheeple have been wondering what ol' BerukBoy has been up to, well, let's just say that a lot has happened since my last post. As of the 10th of September, I have ceased being an employee of Mr. High Intelligents High IQs. And, on the following Monday the 13th, my new ad agency was formally incorporated and began operations. Most of you know who I am in real life or at least

My Job Moved to Kuala Lumpur...

When they start paying locals more for doing the same work as white people, ahem, expats, I'll believe it. Still, a funny cartoon. You can find more here.

Jeebus H. Krisp, I am exhausted. I slept at 2 this morning running last-minute software and hardware upgrades so my dad can just power up his PC and surf when he comes back from his flight. And, as most of you sheeple are aware, I'm always up by 6. Have to attend Zuli's mom's birthday celebrations tonight. Yes, yes, I know what I've written about her in the past and my feelings haven't changed

What the Hell am I even writing?

2004-08-24T07:15:00.000+08:00

Shee-yit. I have no idea how long I can keep this up. I had Manhattan_Faz helping me draft the business plan until about 2 in the morning yesterday while I was dozing on the couch due to fatigue. My bones are aching, my muscles are sore and I am completely groggy at the moment. I've been awake since 6, as usual. Need to get this crap done by today because the boss-man is due back tonight although

2004-08-22T15:31:00.000+08:00

Gah, I've been a butt all day. Gave my dad the receipts for the Fujitsu but I can't find the one for the extra battery I bought because my maid has this bad habit of rearranging my room whenever she cleans it. Yeah, yeah, 'elitist upper-middle class angst', as Token_Penang_Guy would term it. Dude, you own a RM300 footie shirt. I don't even own a pair of pants that costed RM300. Scummy

2004-08-22T07:48:00.000+08:00

Gah. It's a Sunday morning and already I'm wincing at the amount of chores I have to take care of today. Just replying and forwarding e-mails took a large amount of my morning (I carefully select who I send what to and occasionally I have to edit my forwards for readability). I wrote a long e-mail to my supervisor yesterday to talk about stuff that's happening at work and to give him a work

Sheeple, i is dead on my feet. Will write something tomorrow. Maybe. I know. I suck. I is off to bed, sheeples.

I ain't no perv, sheeple...

2004-08-14T09:03:00.000+08:00

Ok... woke up an hour ago and I just got done surfing through my usual sites. Headed to Damansara Specialist Hospital in 15 minutes then I have an appointment with Kannan (my personal trainer) at Damansara Uptown. Zuli's already headed off to Cameron Highlands. I shall refrain from posting any more pics of Andrea Fonseka on my blog (for crying out loud she's only 19 and I ain't no perv!). I still

2004-08-13T06:45:00.000+08:00

Ok, it's ten before seven on a friday morning and I've been up since six. Still having a bit of the sniffles but I don't feel that bad today. Have to go see a few specialists tomorrow to fix my sinus problem, my eczema, check my blood pressure and a quick visit to a dietician. No more white rice, white bread or sugar in my diet. Sheesh. It's not like I have much vices left: I don't smoke, I don't

Not been posting much lately. Too tired, busy and stressed. Just wanted to note that I attended Fazari's brother's funeral yesterday. He died in the morning of a seizure. I don't have anything else to say. Maybe later.

BerukBoy does a bad Ali G impression

Sheeple, BerukBoy is in a really bad mood today. Got to get 100k by the end of this month and another 400k by the end of the year. If I get my checks signed today I'll be in a better mood and I might blog some details. Much love to the sheeples. Respect!

To Centrino or not to Centrino

2004-08-01T07:06:00.000+08:00

It's Sunday morning. I've been awake since 6 (I find that it helps to have a set routine) and I have a business meeting at 9. Then I'll be headed to Zuli's place to meet up with her parents and some visiting relatives. Not really in the mood to write anything or surf the internet today. Once I get my monthly stipend of dosh, I'm going to Payless and Kino to get some new books. On my last book at

Want to make some fast cash?

2004-07-30T22:26:00.000+08:00

Gah. At Zuli's office. She's been doing work all evening. Got here by bus. Hooked up my laptop to her office LAN and did some work on the net. NOTE: HIGH PRIORITY!!! Need to hire someone to write my business plan for me. I can spare about RM500 (RM1000 if they'll take staggered payments). I would do 80% of the actual R&D and all of the proofreading and final editing. All I want is someone who is

2004-07-30T16:35:00.000+08:00

God I am in a bad mood. I have exactly RM5 in my wallet right now. It's too late to go to the bank otherwise I could have got RM60 out of Maybank and Hong Leong (RM30 from each so the sum's too small for me to use the ATM). Oh, and I added a Google search function to my blog. Uhm, so you guys can search for stuff. Like, in my blog. Farkin' paycheques were not signed today. I am not a happy

Maybank2U needs to hire more cheerful service people

2004-07-30T07:19:00.000+08:00

Just got shouted at while talking to a Maybank customer service rep working the phone. Granted it was half past six in the morning but I was having serious difficulty with my account. His name was Mohammed, wouldn't give me his last name. Is it even worth complaining to someone about? Will they do anything about it? My tone was pleasant throughout the whole conversation. He seemed irritated that

2004-07-29T07:14:00.000+08:00

Slept at 1:30 this morning and woke up about 5 hours later at 6:45. I hope I won't start suffering the effects of sleep deprivation or something. Anyway, writing a business plan. Sheeple at work did an about-turn and are now looking at me to get everything together. I have an idea but I need my cuz to get back from Singapore to discuss it with him. Busy-busy-busy. Hope I get paid by this upcoming

20 past 7 in the morning. I woke up around 6:30 after sleeping for about 10 and a half hours. Futsal match this evening with Dentsu, I believe. Having some problems with my 'partners' in the business venture. Old Malay greed axiom acting up again. For the time being I'm going to wait and see. I have my own trump card hidden up my sleeve. It just frustrates me that the same mistakes are being

I, Robot

2004-07-26T13:24:00.000+08:00

Oh, caught I, Robot yesterday at GSC with Zuli. Very the good one. Will Smith meets AI. BerukBoy recommends. Oklah I'm going to go eat now before I starve to death. Mind the gap, sheeples.

Maxis Needs to Get Their Shit Together

2004-07-26T12:32:00.000+08:00

Ok, quick post. Went looking at Low Yat yesterday for a PDA-phone that came was Windows XP compatible (yes, yes, I know all you need is to download software for it but I'm buying it for Zuli's boss and he ain't exactly the most tech-savvy dude in the world). Found the O2 XDA II. It was p-e-r-f-e-c-t. Now, the trouble was trying to decide between Digi and Maxis. Then I saw this ad at StarBiz (

Blogs I'm Watching

2004-07-26T12:19:00.000+08:00

Amusing blog. 20-something-year-old book editor. I'm keeping a watch on it and if it tickles my fancy enough I'll add it to my links (ahem. Comment noted, appropriate amendments made. Thank you for visiting. Have a nice day). And let's not forget Abby. I made a couple of comments on her blog about F911. Putting her on the must-watch list too. Ok, that's it, sheeple. I have, err, junk to do.
