Eventhou he is not with me today and to play with his grandson and eventhou i do not like him that much, he is still my dad. I have to thank him for brought me to this world, to let me see wonderful things and most of all to somehow to make me who i am today. His character and examples may be bad, but his will of life will always let me be admired.

Dedicated to my dad.. Mr. S. Sivanathan. Thanks Dad!

Happy Fathers day!

Watched 'Gold' the movie today. Quite intresting movie potraying on how a guy been conned for gold mining business and been left alone in the end to be ravaged by investors, banks, commisions, FBI till at the end..dead all by alone(*in true real life). The greed for money, the strong will to success.. perpetrating of stock fraud.. carries a good lesson of how karma returns back extremely ruthless! Btw, this movie is based on a true story and in real the company name 'Bre-X'.

My rating: (6.5 over 10 star)

I know it seems norm for all to face, been face or had been a victim of bullying in some point of their life. Mostly during their school times. But this act can lead to bigger problem for the victim. The worst.. death. There are so many cases of bullying out there and majority of us doesn't seems to care much about it, because we will think that as part of growing up process. Especially in schools. But when that involve death then we will be regretting to not stop the act, which by then will be to late.

I'm pretty sure my son will face the same bullying tune at some point of his school time, but im fully determined to be there for him and stop the act whenever it surface by all mean possible!

This post is dedicated to T.Nhaveen (A victim of school friends abuse who have died yesterday, who dreamed to become a successful music composer.) & ZulFarhan (A victim of a defense school newbie who just joined the academy). Both dreamed to achieve bigger things in their life, unfortunately their soul was ripped apart by the bullies. Rest in peace my brothers! :(

I'm seriously felling depressed this couple of weeks.. Partly because of i cant move anywhere on changing my job. I felt its a right time for me to switch company.. but been unlucky on either getting up the offer or no suitable requisition available.. The stress level is enormous! Even when i attend some interviews with confident i keep having this dilemma on whether will i be chosen or not.. Wonder where and how will this be fixed.. stress stress oh stress!

Hoping to get some good news very very very soon.

I wasnt a game freak. Until i met few of my ex office coulege's who are a real game freak. They transformed me from a non-gamer or nerd-gamer to a game freak! Thats when i start to hook up with this so called single person shooter or simulation games. My very first game where i started pretty much would be, Counter Strike condition zero (love to kill those AI terrorists), Diablo III (scared to play this game initially due to the dark nature of the game play), Age Of Empires and Age Of Mythology the titans (all time favorite). But out of all this, there is one particular game that will forever be etched in my memory. Which would be "Unreal Tournament (GOTY Edition)". If i remember correctly those days when i open up my PC at home, I'll be hooked in-front of my PC playing this games for like 10 to 12 hours a day! Thats freaked up right...

My mom would scold me pretty much for spending more time playing this games then do something meaningful.. But you know youth.. and the eagerness to try out something fun made me hooked to this game pretty badly.. Well think about that made me feel want to start over those game days now, but time for family eats up pretty much of my personal time.. nahh forget about it!

Just a memoir.. :)
Today it marked 7 years ive joined Seagate. Ive left Intel behind in search of a new work place,  new life, a new knowledge and finally here i'am.. 7 years! Its been a hell of journey.. hi's and low's of my career.. I never felt regret for leaving Intel where ive worked for 10 years!

I just wish my next destination will be a wonderful ones and more challenging ever. But i made a strong personal rule where i should not be at a place for more then 3 or 5 years at most. Lets see how things go.. :)

Lion. A beautiful movie portraying a longing  love of a man to find his roots away from his adaptive parents. Based on a real story, the movie potrays a deep emotion of an emphatic return of a son to his mother.. He searched and searched and searched his root...

This movie is an absolute proof of truth how technology can help mankind in anyway possible. The power of Google Earth! Never give up!

My personal rating: 6 / 10

Watched "Passengers" today. And I wonder what is it feels like been deserted on a spaceship and with a timeline of 90 years to reach a destination.. Wow its beyond any of my imagination possible.. I cant withstand an hour without seeing any humans around me...  and 90 years.. that's way way way wayyyy beyond my bodily acceptance!!!

Passengers.. a very nice move! Fabulous VFX.. excellent narration.. and awesome script! A must watch movie! Good hit from director Morten Tyldum.

My personal rating:  8 / 10.



Couple of months back around late november last year ive accidentally dropped my phone. But managed to get it repaired and restored to its normal self.. had a screen crack at the time. But after the screen replace i didn't notice any issues with my phone. It was behaving normal as how a smart phone would be. That changed all together couple of days back. Ive found it exquisitely weird that my phone keeps opening and closing apps by itself. Initially my thought was either a Trojan horse or bloatware creeps in my phone and causing the problem. But i noticed the screen itself is behaving abnormally. Its behaving as if someone keeps pressing the screen for which caused it to behave strange. Since im a gadget freak person, such a behavior is a total non-tolerable for me. I hate it! A gadget behaving such way!.. This is when i decided (today) to change my smartphone. I love Asus so much cause of its technology... that i intended to change it back to the same brand..

Today i went to a mobile shop and booked a brand new Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe. This will replace my existing Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe.. yea 1 generation ahead..

Moral of the story: Dont drop your phone.. If you drop it, replace it! Dont repair it! Their life will end if you drop it due to the nature of the intense circuitry and integrated embedded chips. Trust me folks!

Happy Pongal!! A small snippets about pongal.. Pongal is the festival celebrated by people of Tamilnadu, India. It is also known as a harvest festival celebrated mainly in the first month of the year. Although im a Malaysian why do i celebrate this? Cause my ancestors are from Tamilnadu and the celebration has been culturally pass down from generations to generations. In fact all the tamil people celebrate this festival! :)


A beautiful,bright and delighted day,
sun entered bright to intense the ray.

kites flying high to touch the happiness,
till mangled with sweet to spread sweetness.
Time to enjoy the moment with full intensity
 
Wishing all a Happy Pongal!

The first post of 2017. Just barely 8 days and i can feel the wrath of 2017 sharp and edgy! I had a terrible pain on my tooth couple of days back. A visit to the dentist and he uncovered a hidden tooth all the way at the back of my upper wisdom tooth, and it had decayed quite badly. The one and only solution which was given to me, is the removal! For all my life, never did i imagine a visit to a dentist and a pull of my tooth..

Well it went well, thanks to the professionalism of the dentist, the decayed tooth has been removed. I  did ask the doctor to gave me the tooth.. Hehehe as a souvenir of course :P Well it had been with me for nearly 37 years. I know its gross.. but i don't see a reason to throw something which has been part of me since im born. I'm in the process of preserving it! :)

2016, for me  i could describe it as a year full of emotion, sadness, unstable year. The only factor that keeps me running is my son! His arrival back in late 2015 brings me a new meaning, a new window, a new happiness that flows thru me that enables me to forget those badly stuffs that comes the way..

A few key events that i could able to review in happiness is our 2nd short travel to India back in June and a couple of short travel to the island of Langkawi.. Also not to forget my sons 2 major celebration. Which is his naming ceremony held in somewhere around March and his 1st year birthday celebration in December. Others.. not that much that i could remember.. Some i tend to forget.. "trying anyway".. and some i just wish the event never happened at all.

Well the window will be closing down for 2016 in a few hour from now..
I'm very much anticipating and looking forward for 2017. Health is a big concern for me.. i need to get things up and start to workout and lead a healthy lifestyle other then looking ahead for a job change of course and also..."obviously" stable money income which im hoping for every year! Yea, praying for this 3 things to shine bright on me.. Lets see what 2017 has in store for me.

Till then My Life continues....... :)
Good bye 2016!

Recently i got to know about the fabulous all time hidden (..well .. hidden to me) function of an app from Google itself.. "Google Contacts" from a working coulege of mine. From ages (well to my mobile age to be precise) ive been having a hell of a havoc time keeping my mobile contacts alive! Yes, by my statement of alive, i mean keeping it in one place. Which i failed to do so. Let me be more to the point. Well ive lost my mobile device several times in my life. That is deeply painful to me, cause there was a time during my early mobile days i save alots of my friends and family contacts on my mobile. But when i lost the mobile device itself, i felt devastated! Cause i couldn't retrieve any of them. No chance! Because im talking about the era of "Nokia 3210" (my 1st mobile device), where SIM card roams like a king, built in storage has not yet born, SD cards was not yet invented, google drive.. never heard before. So the only option i have was to write every single contacts on a piece of paper!!! Isn't that ancient enough! i felt like those days was a mobile stone age! It is!

Back to the current era. "Google contacts". I cant believe myself that till to date i have synced and saved all my contacts (around ~259 contacts) to google contacts and now there are virtually '0' contacts on my SIM & on my mobile device storage. When i login, generally on any place in this planet earth using my google account on a pc or on any android device, i could able to retrieve all my contacts in a split second! How cool was that?! Its awesome piece of a technology thanks to the mega giant google! You guys rock! I just wished you guys came in much early.. like back in late 90's. That would save me a lots of my contacts from perish away..!

Thank you Google!

On each and every year deepavali is the one day that i cant wait to arrive. This one day has a deep connection with me that i will do anything to make this day happen fast (only if i could). The hype the preparation & etc. makes me the happiest person in my life. This year is not an exceptional as well. Eventhou i can see a drop in intensity unlike my child hood days. This year the deepavali tempo seems gone towards a lower moderate scale. Well i guess deepavali is more towards children's happiness rather then adults nowadays. Well for this year, i did something really unusual. Unlike most of the other deepavali celebration where i wont go out during deepavali, for this year im traveling. Yes! day 2 of deepavali and i will be traveling to the island of langkawi. A simple 3 days 2 night stay. Just to relax my mind and enjoy the celebration with my wife and kid. Eventhou i found it strange that i myself agree to travel during deepavali. But at the same time, i feel this is the best cause time have changed, so do people around me..

Well deepavali is around the corner, hell lots of preparations to be done. Till next post ciao!
Sometimes i feel ive made a mistake by choosing a field that is not tailored for me. I feel the life of computers, engineering & stuffs has limitations. I feel i should have studied 'psychology' instead. In life there are many people that come and goes. But there are few who you really cant able to interpret what their mind thinks at a time. Its like an optical illusion where you see a thing that are optics to you eyes but the mind takes it otherwise. Full of confusion and mystery.

For the past one week we were busy packing up our things and clearing up airline documentations and stuff. Not to mention buying and collecting things for our 2 weeks journey to a familiar country. "India". Yes we will be traveling down south to Kerala coming Thursday. This round our baby will be joining us. Our excitement is pretty high and in the mean time, felt nervous bringing our 6 months old baby to a new place. This is his first and maiden flight abroad for him. Hope he behaves well. All his essentials and needs has been taken care off including medicines, milk supplies and stuffs.. Ours will be minimal this time as i couldn't visualize we spending time straying away experiencing multiple places. Because we want our baby to be safe and sound. For our vacation trip this round we will head to Cochin, Ernakulam & Guruvayoor (current plan). Most of my checklists ive gone thru almost everyday cause i dont want to miss any stuffs.. So far so good.. Last minute screw-ups? Yea i anticipate those. Well it does happen always..

So.. counting the days now..
Thursday.. here we come!

Vacation mood activated! Yehaa..

The heatwave is tormentingly terrible to bear with! Northern peninsula of Malaysia is recorded as the hottest of all time since 1997! and i cant bear to withstand this scorching heat at all! Me, my wife and my kid are like been sweating for most of the time.. Yet still thanks to the cooling technology, i had to  turn on the aircond most of the time at home to cool down ourselves, The downside of this, yea i had to withstand the misery of getting my wallet vaporized with electricity bills ...

Gosh, i wonder when the cool, rainy climate will reappear. Enough of this terrifying La-Nina!!

This few weeks.. im getting nervous and scared of my health. I'm feeling very much tensed thinking of my health that ive been worried that unthinkable things might get in way. This especially when it comes to my heart. I don't know why, but i have this skeptical feelings of things getting out of my control when it comes to health. :(

This comes in the way when its the time where im enjoying my life with my son to be honest..

Im just hoping its just another bad show for this bad year.. mystically (maybe)..

Finally i had it to call the day with my Samsung galaxy note-II. It caused way to much trouble then how it used to be several years back. Issues sprawling up every day like auto shutdown, insufficient memory and space caused me to seriously consider for a phone change. 4 days back i had to decide and made up my mind to change it for good! Well as the title says, ive get myself Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe (Speacial Edition) which is preety cool with almost.. almost all the latest technologies out there at mobile fully available. Im enjoying the phone almost every day now. Even thou trying to adjust myself with the new functions and capabilities.

2016, the fire monkey year is proving to be the worst year i ever came across in my life. Especially when it comes to relationships, i could feel the fiery heat of relation between one another especially with family members getting intense and to a point of getting worst. Is it coincidence or the fact that  fire monkey tends to break relationship apart is a mystery to me. My relationship with my sister and my mother is getting terribly breaking apart and its getting worst day by day. I wonder why this is happening as my relationship with them are solid as rock most of the time. I'm getting in a deep paranoia placing my situation in future thinking of being isolated from all my family members because of this strained relationship.

At a time i would just wish 2016 never appear at any point in my life. Wonder how im gonna fix this situation that im facing, wonder when will these predicament will end and when will i get back to my stress free life. Its a big puzzle and a challenge for me. :(
