2004, a year to remember how fortunate we are...

2004, a year to remember...
A new year, a new start...but 2005 didn't get a very cheerful welcome. All new year celebrations programmes on TV was cancelled, and 2005's coming is celebrated in a sombre mood. As all of you know, 26th December 2004 will be remembered as that fateful day when hundreds of thousands of people across Indonesia, Thailand, India and many other countries lost their lives to the unmerciful forces of nature. Whole families were wiped out, whole villages were gone like they were never there. It happened so near to Malaysia, thank god nothing serious here. Made me realise how fragile life really is...

In memory of those who lost their lives on 26th December 2004...let us mourn their deaths, and lend a hand to those who survived...

Death is nothing at all.

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away into the next room.

I am I, and you are you,
Whatever we were to each other,
that we are still.

Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name be ever the
household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort,
Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.

What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
Somewhere very near,
Just round the corner.

All is well.

Happy 18th Birthday Wy Keat!
Skipped lunch for cc...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LAST BIRTHDAY BOY ON MY LIST, WY KEAT!
Phew...every 10 entries or so I had to wish someone happy birthday haha. By this time of the year i'm running out of birthday wishes already =P. Anyway, this will be the last birthday this year...coz today's my dear friend, Wy Keat's birthday. A great guy he is, and I'll say he's an all-rounder too. Good in sports, good in studies, good in gossiping, good in tackling girls (haha =P), good in everything ;). Became really really close friends with him 2 years ago, coz we were in the same class since Form 4 and went to at least 3 same tuitions together. I couldn't stay away from him even if I wanted to haha =P. But this year I didn't get to see him as much, him being in SAM and me in A-Levels. As for him in person, well he's rather chatty...too chatty hehe. Still remember those times back in Form 5 when we talk bout everything...and everyone too haha. Oh yeah, he's the one who told me YC had a girlfriend hehe ;). And you didn't even tell me, YC >=( haha. Heard he got rather good results for his SAM...congrats to ya! Hope your application into IMU get approved...maybe I'll join you in less than a year if I decided to take Medicine...

Skipped lunch for cc...guess we're falling deeper into the bottomless pit of DotA addiction...
Was enjoying myself the past week...playing PS2 and computer and sleeping the whole day =). Then YC called me out to go cc...though I don't really fancy going cc any more during this holiday. But they seem like they really want to play so I went along with them. Thing is, YC didn't tell me there's only 4 people playing, including me! That's really sad...if I knew I'll juz ask them to cancel it...

Reached YC's place at 11am, then Jem drove there a few minutes later. After waiting for Ashok, we started our cc session around 11.30am. Played one round of DotA, a building map, beat the coms in Generals then YS joined us at 2pm. Actually we wanted to leave earlier but since YS was coming...we decided to stay in the cc for a while longer to accompany him hehe. Great friends we are? =P Played on and on until it's past 5pm...and 4 of us didn't even had our lunch yet! Sad bunch of people we are...skipping lunch to play in cc sigh. Got so damn sick of DotA I didn't even want to think bout it for a week...yea dat's how sick I am ^^".

'Ocean's Twelve' at City Square

The past few days have been rather monotonous...me waking up around 2pm, had lunch, nap all the way till dinner time, had dinner with family, then online from 12am to bout 4am in the morning before going back to sleep. Not really the most enjoyable life...but at least I get to do what I want whenever I want. Too bad I won't have this luxury in Subang...where there's always something to do, clothes to be washed, homework to be done...sigh.

Anyway staying at home everyday was really getting to me so I called the rest out to watch Ocean's Twelve. Initially I planned for it to be on Tuesday but Yih Seong wanted to wait for YC to come back. But then Ashok's going up to KL today until Christmas. After days of changing the plans and dozens of SMS sent out from my hp, we settled for today...mainly coz we spent too much time planning and before we realise, it's Wednesday already. Which means we had to abandon Ashok...well, we'll make up for it some other time k?

Woke up around 8am and took a bus to City Square with my younger brother (he's going to watch movie with his friends there too) at bout 10am. Met up with YC, Jem, YS, Leong and Eric there. Most of the others couldn't make it...sigh. As the next Ocean's Twelve show was at 1.15pm, we went to have our lunch at the same old Japanese restaurant we always go...coz we couldn't think of anywhere else besides McDonald's. As for the movie, it's not bad...though not as good as I expected it to be. Got a little bit confused near the end coz there's juz too many twists in the plot ^^". Btw I'll watch Ocean's Eleven on Channel 5 next Sunday...heard it's much better than its sequel.

After the movie, we went to cc to quench YS's thrist for DotA hehe. And we wanted to see how good Eric really is ;). Btw a few days back I found a way to play Warcraft online...but so far only YS's able to do it. Good for him I guess...he's been complaining he's damn bored at home hehe. Maybe he'll get damn good at DotA after all the training he gets at home...^^

A quick note on other people...

Juz a quick note here on other people...

Chuin Hau SMSed me in the morning to tell me he managed to get into Sunway College for double degree in Biotechnology / Biomedical for four years. Congrats man! Guess we'll be seeing you again next year =). Thought of doing the same course too but I've not decided on which one to take yet. Maybe that or Medicine or Veterinary (yea juz like Hoi ^^) or something else but we'll see. I'll decide when the time comes I guess...

Chow SMSed me to say he passed by Senai! Hmm...didn't even tell us he's coming to JB >=( hehe. Actually he'll be going to Singapore and was juz passing by Senai. Said Senai was very far from JB...now you know how far I travel to school everyday since Standard 1 ;). Asked him to stay in JB for a while but he said his mom told him there won't be enough time for that. Well, there's always next time...

As for Paul, he's somewhere in Europe now on a tour with his family. Not sure where he is though...I'm not very familiar with the name of the places there ^^". Heard he'll be celebrating Christmas in Rome...hope he had fun over there =).

Futsal (in JB) at last...

Futsal at last...
After a few postponements due to the difficulty in finding the time for everyone, Yih Seong planned futsal for yesterday initially. Then we had to delay the futsal for a day coz I had to meet Jeng Khay and the rest for a movie. Sorry, Yih Seong...

The futsal was supposed to begin at 11am...but I only woke up at 10.30am by Yong Chen's phone call ^^". I was supposed to go to his place in the morning but I overslept hehe. Dad drove me to the Larkin stadium at 11.20am and I hopped into Jem's car (the directions to the futsal court was not really clear coz only You Jin and Mahendra know the place). Started playing at 11.30am till 2pm (actually we were supposed to stop at 1pm but we played on for another hour). Me aside, Jem, YC, YS, Ashok, You Jin, Chua, Xing Loong, Eric, Boon Shih, Mahendra and Keith were there. We played an All Stars vs 'the rest' match, and surprisingly 'the rest' team won by one goal at 5 - 4 =). But maybe we won coz it's 7 against 5 so they have no substitutes hehe. Then it's St Joseph* vs 'the rest' match...which was juz exactly like the previous one (and sadly, St Joseph wasn't the All Stars team ^^"). Around 10 minutes before time, I had cramps on both my legs, thus the match had to stop at 7 – 7. Well, sorry again guys...if not we could have beat them another time haha =P. Had our lunch after futsal at a mamak restaurant not far away...and it's no match for Subang's Melur or Rafi anytime ;).
*St Joseph was our primary school. Among us from that school include me, Jem, YC, Ashok, Mahendra, Boon Shih and Eric. And no, Yih Seong, a day in St Joseph doesn't make you one of us haha =P

Meet up with old friends...

Meet up with old friends...
Planned with Jeng Khay to meet for some movie during the holidays. It's been like a year since I last met him...and he grown tougher I think hehe. Called Looi, Jim Long and Boon Shih along. There wasn't any nice movie at that time except Ocean's Twelve...but Looi wanted to watch Bunshinsaba (the Korean horror movie). So in the end we watched Bunshinsaba coz Ocean's Twelve's next show is more than an hour later. It should be a horror movie but somehow, it's juz not scary at all. I'll say it's really lame as a horror movie =(. But maybe that's juz me...coz according to critics, it's the no 1 horror movie bla bla bla...you get my drift ;)

Saw You Jin and Ariff with another girl outside the cinema after the movie. Apparently Ariff got himself a Chinese girlfriend! Haha...but I guess that's not really surprising. The last few years in our secondary school he's been asking us to teach him mandarin! Looks like he put them to good use haha...

Back home...after so long =)

Back home...after so long =)
Woke up at 9am to get ready for our journey home. Labelled everything within sight, dumped our guitars at Paul's place and left 121D at 11.30am. Won't be coming back till next year...and according to the Hostel Management fellars, we are gonna get a new washing machine, TV, water heater in the master bedroom (that's mine, YC's and Leong's room!), and a few other additions. Hope they get the fridge replaced with a bigger one...or at least repair the old one ^^

Our bus left Pudu at 12.50pm and reach the toll 4 hours later. About 200m from the Senai toll, the bus broke down. Fortunately I was getting down at the toll =). Jem, YS, Leong and Pat had to wait for another bus to come pick them up and send them to the Larkin bus station. And I thought that this time, there won't be any mishaps since we were going back together. It's juz fate isn't it haha. There have to be some problems when we travel back together in a bigger than 2 people group...but I guess we should be thankful we always reach home safely =)

Sem 3 - Chem
DotA mini-tournament
Ms Ho's last-day-of-college party ;)
Last DotA in Subang...

Sem 3 - Chemistry
8.30am went to gallery for the first time since we came to Taylor's to sit for Chem paper. Really hard to me...but then I don't think it really matters anyway =P. From what I hear, the others juz gonna crap in the paper. Most of them didn't even bother to study for it ^^". Guess Ms Chan will have an easy time marking our paper...but she did saw this coming all along ;)

DotA mini-tournament ^^
10.30am, PM1 DotA players and one of Wy Keen's friend (to make up the numbers) split into 4 teams and have a mini-tournament! I was drafted into Hoi's team, along with Zi Yang and Wy Keen's friend. In the first round, we beat Paul, Yong Chen, Pat and Tiong...albeit a bit unfairly haha (we got damn strong heroes...but it's juz their luck coz it's -ar). Didn't finish the second round against Ashok, Jem, Afree and Shan coz the coms hanged halfway. But we were losing anyway hehe...

After DotA, we came home to pack all of our stuff coz we're leaving Subang for a month tomorrow. Had to clean up our desk and stuff whatever that's left over in 121D into our wardrobes. Hope no one even try to open mine...it's overflowing and in constant danger of an avalanche ^^". After packing, we had nothing to do so me, Jem and YC went down for our last Bob Cup action for the year. Paul join after a while and an hour later the other guys from My Place join too. Only recognize one of them...my bro's friend's bro, Sundar. He passed a file (containing some documents from back home) to me earlier this year but I doubt he still recognizes me...

Ms Ho's belated birthday party in disguise...
Ms Ho invited our class for this party on the last day of college...and she didn't want to tell us what it's for. According to our 'sources', Ms Ho's birthday was a few days ago! Seems like this party is juz her belated birthday party in disguise haha...

Around 6.30pm, they started preparing the tables, food and other stuff on the badminton court downstairs. We only went down an hour later coz there's almost no one down there before that. Surprisingly, most of our class came...in fact, we are the class with the highest 'attendance' ^^. Ate the food, mingle around (well, sort of...) and then people start getting thrown into the pool. First it's Timothy coz he's a birthday boy (I didn't know that...), then Paul and next Madhavan. The last one into the pool was Li Shan, and really fierce she was haha. Paul even got scratches on his hands while helping 3 other guys to dump her into the pool. And 4 guys were barely enough to do the job...she was struggling and kicking so hard haha...

Last DotA in Subang...
After the party, our class walked one round to all the cc around My Place to find one to fit 16 of us. Thankfully we managed to play in Silver Surfer after the other 'better' cc were full. Denise even joined us for this round! She was in my team and hey, she's not bad at all...only that Paul keep bullying her haha. After our other classmates left, Li Shan came in to play. Saw only her playing with Timothy so I asked Jem, Leong and Paul to join them. Li Shan and Timothy weren't really good...and I gave chances to Li Shan because of that haha. No ulterior motives, I swear! And she didn't even return the favour lol ^^". Halfway playing, Denise came back into Silver Surfer to check how Li Shan's doing...guess she's getting hooked on DotA too haha. I hope not...for her own good ;). After all the DotA, Paul blanja us drinks in Melur =)

Sem 3 - Phy
Members of Warnet! =)
Monkey in My Place?!

Sem 3 - Physics
6.30am woke up to do last minute Physics revision but gave up like half an hour later. Juz impossible for me to comprehend all that Gravitational and Thermo thingies. Resorted to juz memorising the equations and hope for the best ^^". Went into MPH for our Physics paper from 8.30am to 9.30am.

We are members of Warnet now...
10.30am, we went for a round of DotA at Warnet. Apparently we can get member price at Warnet now even tho we didn't even register for it (we did ask last time but they ran out of forms). Anyway we are their 'regular' customers ever since they opened so we do deserve some discounts =P. I wonder if that will make us go cc more often...if that's even possible ^^.

Monkey at My Place?!
Lunch after DotA, then everyone came home to talk bout DotA...till one by one got tired and went to sleep. Woke up from my nap around 6pm to see everyone still asleep. Then I went to the balcony and whoa, there's a gathering of My Place citizens at the gazebo beside the pool! Saw the Sarawakians, Madhavan, Timothy and even Jem down there. A while later I found out that they were on a lookout for a monkey...in My Place. Yup, a monkey. Wonder what's a monkey doing around here. How did it even came to My Place...there's no zoo nearby that I know of (except a petting zoo...but i doubt it came from there), let alone forest around here. Later I heard that the monkey went into Paul's apartment, tore some bread into pieces (so that's where the pieces of bread on our balcony come from...) and empty its bowels in Yun's room. Haha...thank god it didn't visit our apartment...

Sem 3 - Math and Bio

Sem 3 - Math and Bio
Woke up at 5am to do some Bio and last minute Math. Math paper at 8.30am. Rather easy I admit =P. But then again I'm most confident in math so that doesn't come at a surprise hehe. Had lunch with Yong Chen, Jem and Ashok then it's Biology paper. Not the easiest Bio paper I did but still I can manage I hope ^^

After Bio, Jem accompany Paul for his lunch (we didn't call him to join us earlier ^^") but he never came back. Apparently he got stuck in Gamesworld haha. Came back home, everyone hit the beds right away. But not me...surprisingly =P. Read some Physics for tomorrow's paper then nap till dinner at 8pm. Revise some more till 11.35 before I had to stop.

The day before Semester 3 exams...

Yesterday...
Got back the Chem test results yesterday and it's worse than what I expect. Only managed to scrape a 26 out of it =(...even Shan and Ashok got higher than me! lol...And they didn't even study at all! Paul got 74 and Chow got 64 I think. Sigh...not that I'm really shocked though, juz a little bit disappointed. Guess I have to work harder now...

Didn't join them for DotA during the break yesterday coz I'm running out of money!! ^^". Now I've only 50 bucks to last till the holidays and that include the bus ticket fee! Looks like I'll have to ask money from dad again. Sigh...feel so bad wasting money like this...

Today...
As for today, nothing much except that everyone skipped college. By the time we reach Chem, our last subject, we're left with 10 people (amazingly, Shan stayed till the end haha). Not very unusual...this always happen when exams are coming.

At night, half of us were studying frantically while the other half...well, they were enjoying themselves frantically. At the same time me, Yong Chen and Yih Seong were studying like mad for the Sem 3 exams, Ashok, Leong and Pat were shouting and screaming like mad playing pool on Pat's hp. It got so bad that Yih Seong had to go into his room to study ^^". As for Jem, well he's doing wat he does best : sleeping haha =P. And this is the day before our Sem 3 exams, if you still don't realise ;)

Me so damn tired...
'Bourne Supremacy' at Hoi's place
Newcastle 0 - 4 Chelsea

Sigh...I need to pay back my sleep debt soon. Ever since before AS exams, I've not been getting more than 8 hours of sleep every day (dat's NOT enuff, mind you =P). Got so damn tired last night that I fell asleep at 10pm and left my clothes in the washing machine overnight. The washing machine's still half-dead btw...keep beeping and stop spinning halfway for reasons only God knows. Jem was chosen to call that Nelson guy to repair the washing machine bout a month plus ago but it seems like he's not going to do it anyway... (if I was chosen I'd be too lazy to call him too)

After waiting for Ashok and Jem to wake up (yea...it's always waiting for the same pigs haha =P), we ate lunch at Silva's, then decided to go for DotA. Don't know why, lately we've been craving for DotA day in, day out. Maybe we juz got to de-stress after the one-month long AS exams. But the thing is, next week will be our Sem 3 exams =(. Nvm, enjoy ourselves while we can ya? =P

'Bourne Supremacy' at Hoi's place
At night, we had dinner at McD's without Jem coz he went for church thingy (hey sorry we didn't know you'll be eating with us). Then Hoi asked us to go to his house to watch 'Bourne Supremacy' on DVD. That evening, he bought an original DVD coz there's a police raid juz as he was looking for DVDs. What a coincidence ^^. Actually I've been wanting to watch it ever since it came out in cinemas though I missed the first one coz Paul and Jem said it's really nice. But then, Jem said he got the DVD so I was going to borrow it when I got back to JB. But now that I've watched it, I have more free time back in JB... =)

Newcastle 0 – 4 Chelsea
I really really want to watch this match at first...but then the others rather watch 'Bourne Supremacy'. Yeah, I'm a Newcastle (and Exeter too ;) ) fan, if you don't know by now. I think I began supporting the Magpies like since lower secondary school...a while before Ruud Gullit took over and mess up the whole team ^^" but I've never been a hardcore fan of them till this year. Heard the score from Jem after I got back from the DVD session at Hoi's place (Jem watched it before so he didn't join us...he's still at Rafi having dinner by the time we went to watch anyway) but I'm not very surprised at it, though 4 – 0 is a bit too harsh on them. At the way things are going right now...Newcastle's gonna have a tough season... =(

Happy 18th Birthday Paul!
'Alexander', the too-gay movie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR 8TH APARTMENTMATE, PAUL!
Now, Paul is our 8th apartmentmate, for the no-knocking-on-the-door-before-coming-in way he comes into 121D haha. He'll juz bang the door open, much to everyone's shock ^^ (sometimes we thought some robbers are coming in or something). Seriously, Paul's really close to 7 of us, hence the 8th part. We already treat him as one of us, letting him come in and go as he wishes (which explains the way he comes in). If you still can't see it yet, Paul's a really great guy...and a much better friend ;). In fact, he's so great the whole Taylor's know him..and it's really true! Besides being louder and more straight-forward than 'normal' people, he's a 'happy bunny' inside (find out which one you are below ;) ). So here's wishing Paul a very big happy 18th birhday! Wish you all the best in whatever you do =).

you're so dumb
you are the "you're so dumb" happy bunny.
you are brutal in your words and enjoy putting
others down.

which happy bunny are you?

’Alexander’, the too-gay movie ^^"
After college (which I slept thru half of it...but what's new =P), me went to Pyramid with Pat, Leong, Yong Chen, Ashok, Shan, Paul and Zi Yang. Problem is, we got only 1 car and there's 8 of us. So with some squeezed asses here and some squashed balls there, all of us managed to get into Shan's 1.6 Waja. Pat and Yong Chen in the front passenger and Paul sitting across our laps behind. Not to say the most comfortable car ride, but it still gets us there ;).

After we bought the tickets for 'Alexander', we walked around the mall to pass time. So me and Yong Chen went to the Bata shop downstairs to browse around with the rest joining soon afterwards. While paying for my sandals, the rest walked out of the shop without telling me. So when I didn't see them around, I thought they went downstairs (Zi Yang said there's a Nike shop downstairs). I walked for a short distance downstairs, when Paul called me to ask where am i. Then two really familiar persons walked in front of me in my direction. Guess what, it's Jem and Melanie! Apparently Jem abandoned us to go on a 'date' with her haha...such friend =P

Hoi called to say he's joining us juz before the movie started. Thankfully I was able to get a seat juz next to ours ^^. As for the movie...it's ok la. Too much gay-ish scenes though...and I shivers everytime that Bagoas fellar came on screen. He looks so...gay haha. Don't get me wrong here, I got nothing at all against gays...but it's juz too unbearable looking at him getting 'comfy' with Alexander. Urgh...But other than those scenes, it's rather a watchable movie. Only that it's 3 hours long (ouch my ass...) and too few battle scenes ^^.

Chemistry test from hell
Return to futsal
Paul's birthday celebrations

Chemistry test...no...
To get us ready for the Sem 3 exams, Ms Chan decided to throw in a Chem test juz a week before that (we won't be studying anyway she said...as if setting a paper will get us studying...). It'll be on A2 Organic Chemistry...the mother of all damn-hard-Chem-topics =(. Tried to study for it since 2 days ago...but I guess no amount of revision gonna get me ready for it. As expected, it turned out to be impossibly hard...for me at least. Could juz look blankly at the paper and tried to write something on it anyway...anything is better than nothing rite. Chem wasn't my forte so I guess I'm not surprised I couldn't answer like two thirds of the paper. Ah...to hell with the paper. Gonna concentrate on Sem 3 next week...

Futsal action! And we got really rusty after so long...
During Physics class this morning, we were told by Mr Chan that his team (mostly Phy lecturers) will be playing futsal against PM3. Somehow Paul got us into that match to make it a three-way game ^^. It's been like, more than a month since we last played...but Mr Chan's team wanted to get their revenge for the last time they got beaten (I wasn't playing yet at that time). So with no warm-up match and no training at all for all the weeks we've not been playing futsal due to AS exams, we head straight for our doom ^^"

As it turned out, our futsal team performance was dismal at most. Only managed to win once against PM3 and once against Phy lecturers out of 6 games. Before we even started, Shan and Hoi were really nervous coz we haven't play futsal for a long time. And they were one of our best players. What more can I say? ^^. With this ends our futsal season for 2004. No more 'unbeatable' in front of PM1 futsal team I guess haha...

Paul's birthday celebrations!
Tomorrow will be Paul's birthday...so true to our tradition, we gonna have a birthday celebration at midnight! =) But we didn't have much time to plan for it though...it was during my dinner with Pat, YC, Ashok and Leong at Coffee Cabana that I asked what are we gonna do. Thing is, nobody really thought of what we gonna do ^^". In the end, I had to do all the planning...sigh. Went to library after dinner, and luck be on our side, I saw John there...but right before he went out. I rushed out to find him...but then Ashok's still using the computer inside! ^^" After waiting for Ashok, we walked towards Silver Surfer (I saw him turning right outside college...so I thought he went cc la) but then we saw him in Kiosk. So after discussing a while, we agreed to share Paul's cake...and we gonna have the celebrations at their place.

Next thing, I had to asked YS and Denise to buy the birthday cake (he went out somewhere...and he told me he can buy a cake if we want). With the cake and place settled, all we gonna do now is wait =). And what better way to wait than playing DotA (this is YS's logic...tho I can't really relate to it haha). About 12.20am, Jem gave us a heads-up (he and Paul went for some church thingy and birthday celebrations with church friends). Didn't finish our game yet...but then that can wait. Went to Paul's apartment to get everything ready for his arrival. John was sleeping by the time we got into their place ^^"...thankfully Tiong and Yun were up.

12.30am, we heard and saw a car stopping downstairs. So we turned off all the lights. Then Yun realised the outside light was off too so she went to on it (apparently Paul saw the light being turned on and got suspicious). Then Paul saw our slippers outside his place, and he ran upstairs shouting haha (Jem blocked the way down ^^). Then somehow, he managed to run all the way downstairs and refused to come into his place. Actually we didn't plan to 3-4 him the moment he stepped in (that's why we didn't bother to hide our shoes)...we never plan any birthday 3-4 in fact. It's all spontaneous so you can't predict when we gonna act haha (that's wat make it so 'exciting' =P...the waiting for it to come part haha). The candles were melting already and Paul still refused to come in. We had to promise him there won't be any 3-4 before he came in (he can be so naïve haha =P). So all was well, with the usual birthday song and the candle-blowing. THEN the 3-4 signal is flashed, and on comes the pre-bashing birthday song...and as intended, Paul was caught unguarded haha. Caught hold of him and gave him his due bashing ^^ (Pat was using an empty 5L water bottle haha). We've been waiting for this for a long time already muhahaha...

After the birthday cake eating session, Paul blanja all of us an hour of cc each! Thanx Paul...we never expect you to treat us anything actually ^^
