tokyo trip (prequel)

a few weeks ago, i got the chance to attend a training course in tokyo, japan. actually aku dah tau pasal trip ni dr end of last year lagi. tapi ye la, nothing is ever certain, so aku pun xde la nak excited mana. still i counted the days. i mean, tokyo okay... sapa x excited hehe. excited dlm diam.

tapi sampai la the week before nak pergi tu, still xde confirmation lagi. cuak jugak la, jadi ke x ni kan. nak plan apa2 pun payah, sbb x nak kecewa. bila dpt tau tu, apa lagi terus call sapa2 yg berkenaan. nak arrange flight, allowance, etc. hari tu jugak buat pasport.nak buat pasport tu satu hal jugak. as expected, my self-diagnosed palmar hyperhidrosis syndrome started to show. the scanner couldn't detect my thumbprints due to excessive sweating. bila dah jadi mcm tu, lagi la aku nervous... thus lagi susah nak detect. last2 pegawai imigresen tu suh aku gi jabatan pendaftaran negara suh diorg print mykad's chip content. nasib baik sebelah je... dibuatnya kat bandar lain ke, entah2 x dpt aku gi tokyo.

then, another problem: money. somehow kitorg xleh dpt duit tu before pergi. entah la, nak salahkan sapa pun x tau... tapi menyusahkan jugak la kan. sebabnya utk hostel pun kena bayar sendiri (bukan settle terus). dgn rate 6000yen / night, of course kena guna banyak duit sendiri dulu kan? belum campur transportation, makan, beli-belah, etc. nasib baik bapaku came to the rescue (actually i came to him, dgn muka malu2 mintak pinjam duit). yen pulak tgh tinggi... 1000Y = RM 39.5. aduii pening kepala.

k pau yg awesome pun byk membantu (uu yea kipas). dgn rela hati k pau bg pinjam buku lonelyplanet:tokyo yg sgt membantu.. kalau aku baca awal2 lagi hehe (sbb bila dah sampai tpt tu baru terhegeh2 nak baca.. last2 sesat gak). dgn dtg rumah nak kasi periuk lagi (yg bila dah balik sini baru aku tau k pau x pernah guna pun periuk tu... terharu siot), siap kasik a few last minute tips lagi... x lupa juga pada k ida, k syud n wati yg byk kasik tips jugak. oo radhi pun ada kasik tips pasal habiskan duit syiling, sbb xleh tukar balik. sgt berguna, sbb 500yen pun dlm bentuk syiling, RM2 tuu.

gambar2 taken on the 1st day. dammit aku cite byk sgt pasal pre-departure, i haven't even touched on tokyo itself. better do it next time. sudah terlalu panjang.

ok chiow.

all in a day's work

pada suatu hari...

-eh eh, ada divisional laa... mcm menarik.

checked family list @ esp@cenet, check parent file's status @ CS:

-oo dah granted dah la. US claims > MY claims. mungkin dia nak grant claims that are not included earlier? ini sudah bagus.

requested for the parent file. urgent lagi.
after one hour:

-eh dah sampai dah? TQQQQQ

cepat2 bukak child file. bukak parent file gak. suka tgk granted patent ni. uu excited2

-boleh tambah satu lagi 1st comm file. syiok!

semangat baca child claims. compared dgn correspond US claims. sume ada ni (lebih kurang laa)... best2. moving on to the parent file:

-uik ada kat parent jugak those claims? ini sudah bagus, dah kira double patenting ni. worait boleh adverse sudah...

tiba2 terpikir:

-US patent granted 2004, dia file for divisional 2006. xkan dia x tau yg claims ini sudah granted? (check applicant's letter). confirm dia tau yg dulu dah grant. why? why? why??? mungkin x dia nak maksudkan lain sebenarnya? different scope, perhaps?

baca balik child claims.

-ha'ah la. ada beza siket la dr yg dulu... aisehman, kena baca betul2 balik nih. ni sudah dikira full nih.

geramnyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

ok chiow.
