It all started from nowhere. Was just walking around during the IT Fair one year ago & unexpectedly left with a Canon EOS600D in my hands. A new 'toy' was brought into my life. A new hobby waiting to be explored. Let me share some of the shot's I captured for the pass one year.

Half MoOn

Full MoOn

Water Droplets - 1st attempt

Night shots - Malacca Town

Night Shot 2 - Malacca Town

1st attempt at ray of lights..

Day Shot - Singapore

Its neither easy nor hard to operate a DSLR. Honestly, it's abit more complicated than a normal point and shoot. It's all down to practice. Practice makes perfect! What I like about it is that it gives you the flexibility of how you want the picture to look like as you have the control over the aperture, shutter speed and ISO. What I hate about it is that you need to shoot a few pictures to get what you wanted but sometimes even if you shoot all day, you just can't get the perfect picture!

Brazil Churrasco

2012-01-07T08:35:00.000+08:00

I attended my engagement's pre-peak event at a Brazil Churrasco last night. Guess what? This place had been around in Singapore for the past 14years! A remarkable achievements and it still attracts customers until today.

For all meat lovers, this is the place to be...

They'll go around carrying this & sliced the meat to whatever portion you requested. Interesting!

All type of meat. Beef, Lamb, Chicken. & All part of the meat like beef hump, chicken heart & etc. Just meat, and more meat!

This pineapple was good! Juicy & sweet. Must try!

Dessert. Mango puding!

There's a Salad Bar inside Brazil Churrasco as well. But honestly, you need to fill your tummy with meat here not salad! Meat, & more meat!

Friday!

2012-01-06T00:40:00.001+08:00

It's Friday! Yeah it's Friday! Used to be excited when I were a child. But once started working, the effect just wore off! Friday signaled the end of either a wonderful or shitty week. It also signaled a brand new wonderful or shitty week ahead!

I love Fridays! Just because I normally gets to go back earlier on Friday. Just because I have two days to rest and do my own stuffs. All this provided I don't have to work during the weekends! It's a BIG letdown if weekends are working days! Can't we have some rest at all? Even machines overheat during long runs, let alone human. Life's too short to ruin your life just like that. I want a new life and I want it fast!

1st day of work in 2012

2012-01-04T21:08:00.001+08:00

1 great thing about iphone is the ability to blog while standing in the bus. On my way home from a tired first day of work in a hopefully great 2012! The way the bus driver manouvere the bus showed that the recent case whereby a lady felt and went into coma from the sudden brake has been forgotten. Even for a young man like me has problem balancing myself from this accelerate-break happy driver, let alone that unlucky lady!

Enough of my truthfully crapping, let me focus on my first day of work 2012. Following up on outstanding items, updating the working papers, drafting e-mails to chase outstanding items as well as requesting for future documents. In betwen, some admin matters. Felt superbly tired and bored! Routine and simply jz hated my work. All these just couldnt prevent me from wandering into my own fantasy world. So here comes my first resolution for year 2012, hopefully the dragon will show me the path to a new beginning or opportunity I long for since the first day I step into this job of mine!

So, let me ask you a question! Who am I? Eermm, I mean what am I?

Turkish Ice Cream

2012-01-03T17:31:00.001+08:00

For S$3, you'll be entertained by the hilarious ice -cream man in Clarke Quay, Singapore. Watch him tease and playfully 'rob' your cone of ice-cream from you! Make sure you pay this Mado Turkish Ice-Cream a visit when you visit Clarke Quay next time for a little twist.

Fantasy Football

2012-01-03T16:09:00.004+08:00

The 1 game I constantly play is a free fantasy football by yahoo. My friends & I created a private group & on a weekly basis we challenge each other here. The concept of the game is a simple 1 whereby each & every1 of us will select a complete team of 11players and from the preceding matches played, points will be given to the players based on stats like goals scored & against, assist, and etc.

For more info on the scoring basis, http://sg.premierleague.fantasysports.yahoo.com/football/rules

Hafy way there (after 19games), this is my result:

At the moment, I'm topping 2 of my private groups (EPL 11-12 & Bandar Hilir Cup). With 19 more matches to go, everything could change! I'm glad to have a whopping 100+ points gap at this stage!

Detailed table in EPL 11-12 is as follow:

In the world ranking, I'm abit far off, currently positioned at 100+ (my personal best so far). However, I'm seeking to improve as the season progresses.

To me, fantasy football is a great management game. A game to test your decision making, predictions and guts feeling. To all football lovers, it's worth trying as you can find various FF's game everywhere, both free & paid version. Furthermore, we have a FF's community, where we can chill & discuss our selections prior to the matches at http://www.starting11.com/.

I'm waiting for your challenges there. Don't make me wait too long!

My Life's Missing Puzzle

2012-01-03T15:29:00.001+08:00

There's a piece of puzzle missing in my short life since 4 years ago. This piece will be lost forever. The once piece I'll never find again in my life. The once piece that'll make my life complete. The one piece that I'll regret losing. But fate has the final answer & me, the lil' one has no power to stop or control it...

2011 X'mas Celebration @ The Esta, Singapore

Dad's B'day 2011 @ Daorae, Melaka

The one and only missing puzzle of my life...

Mum, I'll miss you forever.

Bubble Milk Tea

2012-01-03T14:46:00.000+08:00

One craze I picked up in Singapore is BuBble Milk Tea! Yeap, you heard it right. Ever since I were introduced to Eskimo 1 year ago by my senior, I'm hooked. You can find bubble milk tea shops everywhere in Singapore. Some of the 'brands' I tried...

From right: Gong Cha, Eskimo, Koi, & Woobbee

Koi, in my opinion is the popular one, closely followed by Eskimo, GOng Cha and remaining smaller outlets. I dont have a personal favourite but each & every 'brand' has it's own specialties.

The queues are crazy especially during lunch time! Below are examples from the 2 outlets below where I'm staying.

My question is, do you drink bubble milk tea because:
a) it's nice, real nice!
b) to follow trend, ppl drink I also drink
c) jz for the fun of drinking, to quench thirst and keep yourself cool, or
d) no particular reason or other reasons from above.

Whatever the reason, I love bubble milk tea & mind you it's not cheap, not cheap at all!

Art of Jail'Breaking

2012-01-03T13:09:00.002+08:00

Finally, the untethered jailbreak for ios5.0.1 was announced some days back. I had jailbreak once during ios4.x.x days and the waiting for untethered ios5.0.1 jailbreak was a long journey. On the day of the release of the jailbreak, I was stuck in between of jailbreaking or not. Finally,I decided to ....

J.A.I.L.B.R.E.A.K!!!

To be honest, you dont have to pay someone to jailbreak for you! The jailbreak process is easy and not complicated. To those interested future jailbreakers, you can refer here http://www.iphoneleaks.net/2011/12/redsn0w-0-9-10-b1-jailbreak-5-0-1-untethered-on-iphone-4-3gs-ipad-1-ipod-touch-how-to/.

For me, I love customisation & that's the reason for me to jailbreak. Let me show you what I meant below:

On the right: Current lockscreen with during the day

On the left: Current lockscreen at night

(notice the change of graphics based on the time of the day)

1st page of my homescreen. Theme used is revi-krs (can be obtained from Cydia from some repositories) Notice the dock as well. Normal iphone only permits 4icons.

There's so much Jailbreaking can customise and do to your 'boring' iphone interface. If you are still sitting between the fence on whether to jailbreak or not, I'll say go & Jailbreak & you'll never regret it! If you ever regretted, there's always the option to restore back your iphone (remember to backup 1st). Last but not least, jailbreak is 100% L.E.G.A.L!

X'Mas 2011

2012-01-03T12:20:00.004+08:00

Christmas as they said, is a time for celebration! This year I had the opportunity to spend with my relatives and closed ones in Singapore.

Build up to X'Mas

Together with some close friends, we gathered to have a X'Mas eve buffet get together. What's better to usher the coming X'Mas with foods!

Location: Momiji Japanese Buffet, City Square Mall
Comments: Wide spread of food from sashimi(s) to snow crabs (too bad only on weekends). Nice atmosphere, good food and reasonable price. Worth trying!
http://www.sukigroup.com.sg/suki/momiji.htm

Celebration 1

Cheers at Clarke Quay. This place is just awesome for a stroll among loads of people from all races!

Celebration 2
The perfect celebration is to spend it with your loved ones. This year's family's X'mas celebration was held in Singapore.

Nothing more satisfying than seeing my 'ah ma' getting to meet her distance relatives in Singapore.

Celebration 3
I just cant live without food. They were simply irresistible! This time it was Modesto's in Vivocity for an Italian dinner with my sis and gf!

Bread with olive oil & vinegar

Chicken wings

PiZza

Pasta

Me with my sis, Evelyn

I had a great X'Mas this year. I love my family & celebrating a special day with them is just lovely!

Beautiful Thought by Lord Buddha:

2011-02-16T21:24:00.003+08:00

Beautiful Thought by Lord Buddha:

Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were travelling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples,
"I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake there."

The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that right at that moment,
a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink!"

So he came back and told Buddha,
"The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink."
After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake.

This time too he found that the lake was muddy. He returned and informed Buddha about the same.
After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.

The disciple reached the lake
to find the lake absolutely clean and clear with pure water in it. The mud had settled down
and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said," See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be.... and the mud settled down on its own - and you got clear water.

Your mind is also like that! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. "It is effortless."

Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process!

TREAT EVERYONE WITH POLITENESS EVEN THOSE WHO ARE RUDE TO YOU; NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NICE, BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE NICE...

My J.O.B

2011-02-07T12:38:00.000+08:00

Let me start with a -ve word. My job SUCKS. Enough said?

In the 1st year of this JOB, you have to follow your [s.c.m.p] time.
In the 2nd year of this JOB, you still have to follow your [s.c.m.p] time.
In the 3rd-5th year of this JOB, you have to follow your [c.m.p] time.
In the 6th year (if you ever stay so long), you have to follow your [c.p] time.
The [c.p] time will always follow you from the 6th year onwards until you have the opportunity to step & become [p].
Even when you r [p], you still have to follow [c] time.

The your unlucky [WAG] have to follow your time!

So why do you still do this JOB?
Why don't you go & become [c] instead?
I have no IDEA.

In a blink of an eye, 2010 drew to a close. Now we were already 2months into the New Year 2011! Overall, year 2010 has been great! Let me 'kao peh abit about my personal experiences in year 2010.

First & foremost, I really 'pei fu' myself for the fact that I'm still in audit line! I have been complaining since day 1 & here I am still stuck there. People closed to me will tell you that among my personal favourite of words as long as I'm in audit includes 'Sien' & 'Sigh'. But ever since I crossed over to Spore, I'm glad to say so far these 2 words have not been heard that often anymore. Apart from my never-ending complaints, audit had been generous to me! My time in audit has seen be traveled to Indonesia, Shanghai, Ho Chi Minh & Hanoi! That's quite an achievement by itself to me.

Forget about my work-life, my love life have been quite a yo-yo. This was mainly due to me, a complicated little homo-sapiens, whose mind & brain are so damn complicated to the extent that even I myself do not understand sometimes. But, I'm really thankful to my gf! She's one hell of a great gal. Jz to bad she bumped into me & had to suffer with me. I'm really lucky to have known her, to be honest!

As 2011 slowly gathers pace, more challengers coming the way. I have many New Year Resolutions which I believed are better to be kept secret! I really hope that I can once & for all leave audit as well as settle down soOn. I'm not getting any younger anymore & I do not want to waste my precious only god knows how much little time I have.

Happy New Year 2011 & Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

World's Richest Government

2010-09-01T15:31:00.001+08:00

We know the world's richest man is Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico, followed by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet of USA.
How about governments?
Which countries’ government is the richest (having most money that is, in US$)
If you are expecting North American and European nations, you might be disappointed.
While the countries look rich, wealthy European nations can't withstand a prolonged major financial crisis, just like Greece.

The USA might have the biggest economy, but the American government is not at all rich; in fact, it can't even take out $150bn if asked to now without resorting to borrowing.
To date the US government has borrowed $14 trillion!

The UK, likewise, while the country/people are rich, the government isn't.
The UK government’s debt stands at $9 trillion now.

Big national reserves doesn't guarantee prosperity however, for instance, the yearly expenses for China's government is $1.11 trillion, their government must always think of economic growth and making more money.
China’s gov't overspent $110bn last year, much on it towards modernizing their military, if it goes on like this their reserves can only last for 22 yrs.

The Malaysian gov't overspent $13bn last year, if it goes on like this their reserves can only last for 7 yrs.

The Singaporean government overspent $3bn last year, much of it rescuing their banks from financial crisis, if it goes on like this their reserves can last 68 yrs.

The Swiss gov't overspent $1bn last year, if it goes on like this their reserves can last 262 yrs.

A country normally can borrow up to 100% its GDP, a very strong industrial country or very financial stable nation can borrow up to perhaps 200% its GDP, debts over 250% GDP the country is bankrupted.

Greece's Debts Is 113.40% GDP, In Danger As It Is Not Considered A Strong Industrial Or Financial Country.

Iceland Is 107.60%, Also In Crisis As It Is Not So Strong Industrial Or Financially.

Singapore Debts Is 113.10%, Not In Hot Water Due To Its Global Financial Hub Status, And Also Its Financial Strength. It's Only Dangerous For Singapore When It Reaches 200%

Japan Debts Is 189.30%, Still Under Radar As A Powerful Industrial Nation. It Needs To Panic Only At Around 200%

US Has The World Largest Debts, But It Is Only 62% Its GDP, It Is Not In Any Immediate Danger Of Bankruptcy.

Zimbabwe Debts Is 282.60% GDP, It Is A Bankrupted Nation.

Malaysia Debts Is Currently At 53.70% GDP.

Hong Kong And Taiwan Is Doing Pretty Good With Debts At 32-37% GDP

South Korea Is Even Better With Debts At 23.5% GDP

China Is Very Stable With Debts At 16.90% GDP

Russia Is Like A Big Mountain With Debts Only At 6.30% GDP

There Are Only 5 Countries With No Debt (I.E. 0%) –
Brunei, Liechtenstein, Palau, Nieu, And Macau Of China

I have been here for a month now & well so far so good I should say. A new place, new environment, new people, new culture; in short, everything's new!

.W.0.R.K.
Well. Where should start? Hmm. Ok I'll start with the duration of my few engagements I had involved in. 1st engagement, I was located at the Ocean Towers & it's super near the firm I am working in as well as the HDB's room I am renting. It was a 3weeks Interim engagement. Great ppl made a great team as well as a great working environment to start with. My 2nd engagement as well as my current engagement also runs for 3weeks (& still running). Nxt week is my last week in this engagement. Again, great people I met. Not forgetting, also a well diverse team which includes 2 Singaporeans, 2Indonesians, 1Taiwanese & me. Well the best part should be the many different people I met so far. I have even known a Filipino during my training.

LEISURE
Nothing much to do here, except for shopping! The hub of shopping is in Orchard but you can basically do shopping at every MRT station itself. Electronics gadget is kinda cheap here. So is the football's jersey. If you don't convert back to RM; even if you convert it is cheaper by a few bucks. 2casinos's just open recently & there's also Universal Studio, Birdpark, Zoo & other attractions I have yet to explore.

F.0.o.D
You can find food everywhere in Spore. Be it Foodcourts, Hawker centres, Fast foods, cafes & any makan places names you can think of. The prices are reasonable as well. But the varieties are almost the same at most of the foodcourts or hawker centres.

World Cup Fever

Why is football played for 45 minutes in each half?

Those who thought of this must have lots of time

Why people play football for 45 minutes, not 30 minutes or 1 hour?

Even the sports scientists and some of the senior players could not give the right answer.

In that confusing situation one person came up with a reasonable answer.

He said......."The reason people play this game for 45 minutes is...

There are 2 teams and there are 11 players in each team.

Each player brings his own "2 balls"

So in total there are 44 balls.

There is one ball on the ground itself. Thus the grand total is 45.

Question Answered !!!

Sometimes there is extra time of 2 mins which is the referee's balls! Women football play same duration too!

Law of the Garbage Truck

2010-06-19T12:52:00.001+08:00

-Something for the grumpy, moody souls…

One day, I hopped into a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling obscenities at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Hey, why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call: 'Law of the Garbage Truck'.

He said: "You know, many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage – full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, so sometimes they'll dump it on you.”

His advice?
"Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't pick up the garbage others are trying to get rid of. If you do, you'll take it with you and will end up dumping it on people around you, at work, at home, or on the streets."

If you want to be happy, do not let garbage trucks – your own or other people's – overtake your day. Let go anything that's not positive. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it! Love the people who treat you right. Hope the best for the ones who don't.

Marriage

2010-06-19T12:35:00.003+08:00

To those who are married, .. Not married .. and soon to be married

MARRIAGE

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce.. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?
I avoided her question.. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day..

She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy... Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions... She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully..

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. >From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning.. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind... I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I ran up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.......I cried and cried uncontrollably and carried her for the last time from the room to the hall with tears streaming down my face and gazing at my only son, his tears rolling from his eyes, they made me cry even more. I had lost my love, my wife and a loving and caring mother and nothing I could do now to put the clock backward. I had all the time now to look at her motionless body in detail but I knew it was going to be only for a short while until she made her last journey to the Lord......I held my son and wept again and again thinking of all the things I did not do for her when she was still alive.........and placed gently the flowers in her hands with my tears trickling on them.......she was gone forever, all my tears would not bring her back .

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank, blah..blah..blah. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

HABIT

2010-06-19T12:31:00.002+08:00

WHAT is it that's hard to break???
Diamonds are hard to find but not hard to Break.
What is the hardest thing to break then?
The answer is: HABIT!

If you break the H, you still have A BIT. If you break the A, you still have BIT. If you break the B, you still have IT!
Hey, after you break the T in IT, there is still the 'I'.
And that (I) is the root cause of all the problems. Isn’t it right?!

Now you know why HABIT is so hard to break….

Mathematics

2010-06-19T12:27:00.003+08:00

This comes from 2 maths teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience.
It has an indisputable mathematical logic.
This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:

What Makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 103%?

What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But ,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

Now I know why some people are where they are!

The Tale 0f a Landlord

2010-06-12T20:37:00.000+08:00

She was involved in an accident at the young age of 28. On the fated but unfortunate night, seated in a car of 4 ppl, after a drinking & eating session, the car was involved in a accident with another car. The driver of the car was drunk. The driver of the other car I had no idea! Because of the mistake of an irresponsible individual, the rest had to suffer. 3 of them was unfortunate & lost their life instantly. The one & only survivor had to suffered for the rest of her life. Moving around in a wheelchair with impaired hearing as well as losing the ability to speak. Her leg were stiff & pain during the night while both of her hands can only moved up to elbow length. She needed the assistance of her maid for her to go through her daily routine in her life.

Fortunately, her brain is still razor-sharp & she can type. She kept herself updated by surfing the internet. Her mobile phone, laptop & a board is her only tools of communication. Sometimes, she mimics words with her mouth trying to convey a message.

I admired her! In spite of her difficulties all these years, she remained positive.
Her smile is ever-ready. I do not know whether she is in pain whenever she smiled ever openly. Despite her conditions, I can see she's full of energy & wits inside her. Only her fragile physical condition restricted her.

Furthermore, she's kind. She openly accepted a stray-living man to stay in her HDB unit! This man has nowhere to stay & used to sleep around the HDB compound. Feeling 'kesian' for him, she invited him to sleep in the hall of her HDB.

This is the story of my landlord. All these were told to me through the words of mouths.
So far, from what I saw of her was all +ve. Only time will reveal further truth to me.
All I can say is that despite her difficulties she puts many healthy & normal people to shame!

-H0me-sweet-HOME->

2010-06-10T02:43:00.005+08:00

There's no place better than home, as the saying goes!
I have not really grasp the meaning of this phrase, maybe till today.

How many times had I left home before? I meant for a really long period of time.
So far maybe once, when I left for my tertiary studies in UUM. For those who have no idea where UUM is, it's situated in Sintok, Kedah! Guess many might have not even heard of Sintok before including me when I 1st checked online where I were to be placed 6years ago.

6years later, I will be leaving home again soon. My heart felt 'heavy' & 'one-kind'. Now I know, it's hard to leave HOME & let me tell you the feeling is terrible, horrible & some say 'chalat'!

HOME had been a place filled with love, protection, care, comfort, & every single +ve verb you can think of! In short, HOME contained & shared every single journey of my life so far! It's not easy to let go of something so important in a flash of light! =.=

Worst still, I learnt that my dad will be going to Penang for 2days, meaning my Little Sis will be home alone for a couple of days! Had a short conversation with Little Sis & she said, " Huh, I never at home alone b4 at night lerr. Usually only alone during the day." Thank God, Dad has canceled his trip due to a reason.

My Little Sis had been very independent. Being the youngest, she was deprived of motherly love after the passing of mum. A weak person would had buckled under this but she had came out from the 'tragedy' stronger than expected. Even to an extent, much much much stronger than me! Everytime I looked at her, there's a feeling of empathy because I know it's very difficult for her at her age.

Soon Little Sis will be left with Dad. Big sis is in KL. Little Bro is in KL. Big Bro will be in S'pore.
She'll then enter another phase of life having to cope with her life especially her school assignments all by herself. I had the pleasure of asking Dad&Mum. Big sis had the pleasure to ask Dad, Mum & Big Bro. Little Bro had the pleasure to ask Dad, Mum, Big Bro & Big sis. Little Sis will have to fend & struggle all by herself yet again...

May Mum bless every single one of us, especially Dad & Little Sis...

Gd. Morning

2010-06-09T08:33:00.001+08:00

What is the 1st thing you do when u wake up in the morning?
Brush your teeth? Have your breakfast? Have a jog? Read the newspaper?
For me, ain't of the mentioned above!

The first thing I do are to go online.
Check some updates on various sites like Facebook, Soccernet, The Star Online, Daily Chilli, M'sian Today and others!
I don't brush my teeth or have my breakfast 1st. =b
With my laptop so convenient by my side, & the 1st to greet me in the morning apart from a message from my mobile phone, I will go online straight off. Worst still, I don't have to start my lappy as I left it on the whole night to complete my download of movies. Just left it on throughout the night & the next morning I have a few new movies to watch! =)

After that, I will just blog something (like this morning) if I have something to share on or just watch a movie or read some interesting articles online.

After finishing all this only will I go & have my teeth 'polished' and fill my tummy with food & drink. Then, only I will continue my other routine for the day. Of course, all these are only possible when I am not working!
Sigh... =.=

Did ya realised something? Everything I did was through 'online'. Can we escaped from the 'online' world nowadays? Even we can get the latest up-to-date updates, either friends or world news online!
Maybe next time, I will jz brush my teeth & have my breakfast online in a virtual world! =.='''

Ever wondered what's the meaning of your name? I am curious & thus I googled the meaning of my name, KEVIN. You'll be surprised of what you'll be able to find of the meaning of your name.

A click to www.namespedia.com gave the following result:
(www.namespedia.com is a website like www.wikipedia.com but specifically for names!)

Name: Kevin
Gender: Masculine
Location: Ireland
Language: Irish
Thematic: Unknown Thematic
Meaning: Handsome Birth

& to my surprise, a search of my name gave a +ve result in www.wikipedia.com as well. Seemed that this website had just every information you are interested & can think of!

A short meaning of KEVIN from that website:

Kevin, Irish Caoimhín (Old Irish Cóemgein, Middle Irish Caoimhghín), is a male first name of Irish origin. It is believed that Saint Kevin was the one who popularized the name, although Kevin is not a biblical name. Kevin is believed to be derived from the Irish cóem "kind, honest, and handsome" and gein "birth".^[1] Kevin is unrelated to the names Kelvin or Calvin. Its female version is Kevina (pronounced kev-EE-nə).^[2] "Kevin" is one of the top 100 male baby names in Canada, Catalonia (within Spain) Chile, France, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Slovenia, Spain (as a whole), Sweden and the United States.^[3] It can also be spelled Kevyn, Keven, Kevan, or Kévin.

There is no specific female variation of the name, though the Irish name Caoimhín has a girls counterpart Caoimhe.

For more info, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin

Further searches brought me to http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/results/?result=Kevin with a long-winding result as below:

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you.
You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night.
Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Interesting ya? 1 thing I found out is that the origin of my name is from Ireland. I am an Irish!!!

Haha. Cool!

Exams!

2010-06-07T21:31:00.004+08:00

Exams! Non-stop in my short life. I am not a consistent book-worm, more like a last-minute type. Just can't discipline myself to sit down for long hours to study & my brain just don't co-operate with me as well. This is a big big problem to me. My power of memorizing is fading fast as well. Sign of old man lo! Haha. Cham!

Why do we need to study? To update ourself? To improve ourself? For promotion purposes? Or just following the flow? Whatever the reason is, it's a struggle nevertheless!

Do we really understand what we are studying? Or just mere memorizing for exam purposes? Nowadays, most exams are automatically checked by the computers. Does this mean that a set of answer has been uploaded into the computer and if the student's answers do not match the answers, it will then be deemed a wrong answer? To be honest, I have no idea! As a matter of fact, even in good old school time, during exam, most teacher will mark an answer wrong if it defers from the answer scheme. Do we really need to fully memorize and applies the exact one in exams? Where lies our creativity, our sense of thinking? How can this help in developing our brain to think out of the box? We had been train since in school in such ways. Exam grades mattered the most above others! We are pegged back from expressing our views indirectly.

Now, as I am preparing for my ACCA, I still apply the same old method. The difference this time around is that my brain seemed sluggish & can't absorb the info straight away. I am finding it stupid to jz memorize it but that's what I have been taught all this while in school. This is the wrong way, it should be but nevertheless it is an effective 1 if you have a powerful & cooperative brain!

11:40pm

2010-06-06T23:40:00.002+08:00

I should have been studying but here I am!
Life's full of dilemma, both positives & negatives. When you were born, your path might had been drawn by the ONE and not to our knowledge. We lived through the path, overcoming one after another challenges on the way, either 'breeze-fully' or 'struggle-fully'.

Today, was another learning curve for me! I went to see a show-house, somewhere around Krubong Jaya. There's 2 types of units on show, 1 design costing about RM299k, fully-furnished show-house except for TV, fridge, & washing machine. It was sold! The other design with different measurements costing RM332k, also fully furnished with air-con whole house except for as per above! This, is still available. Dilemma arises! From the outlook, looked impressive & attracting our fragile heart pushing towards making a decision to buy. But behind it, the problem of servicing the loan brought me back to reality. Ppl said it can be serviced from as long as 20-30years. Sounded promising and withing the range of do-able but again knowledge! Knowledge is POWER. What other factors to consider? Education loan? I am a noob when it comes to property. I found it tough to digest the 'talks' by the salesman straight-away. After-all they were trained to speak and sell their 'items'! In the end, decision is all ours, the buyer. The salesman, their job is all done after persuading the future buyer to finalize their BUY.

I realize knowledge is damn broad! With the relevant knowledge, we can minimize our fear. But, where can I attained this knowledge? Internet, comes to mind! Easy? Simple? Once you tried it, then you let me know your answer. Bottom line, knowledge is really powerful. After all, it's better to be careful with our hard earned pennies!

June 06, 2010

2010-06-06T09:06:00.002+08:00

Can't sleep last night so open my lappy & went through some notes for a moment!
But true to myself, after a few slides I fell asleep soon after! Haha

Woke up today & wanted to have half-boiled egg for my breakfast.
I boiled the water put the eggs in & wanted to prepare the saucer but then I found out that the pepper had expired way back in year 2008! Disappointed! So I had to change to hard-boiled egg instead! PLAN B as what it was understood!

This reminded me of my MUM actually. The kitchen, toilet & majority of the house compound were in disarray after her 'GOODBYE' even up till today! We can't even manage it in numbers of the things Mum used to do it alone! That's the power of MUM!

May 30, 2010

2010-05-30T23:30:00.002+08:00

I have not updated for quite some time. So far so good I should say.
Let me break what I wanna share into few categories:

Weather
What can I say about this? Terrible, horrible & chalat! 24hours heat wave nearly everyday!
Kept sweating non-stop. No air-con will suffer lo nowadays! Global warming, my fren!

Career
I have been static for few months. Getting lazy each day. But I am going to a new environment & culture so0n. But still the same old job scope & workload, far worse I reckon!

The initial stages to get there had been challenging. Going there & back numerous times, for interview, medical as well as room hunting. Praying hard that everything will be fine & sm0oth. It will be tough as a start but god willing I will be able to adapt to the transition asap & smoothly. I was excited at the same time nervous, worried & stress waiting & wondering upon the challenges ahead!

Physical
I have put on alot of weight for the pass 1 year. I have a 'spare tyre' now! Some said I have been growing 'side-wise' instead of 'up-wise'.

In addition, went to 'sinseh' & he 'diagnosed' that I have problems with my left side. My left leg used to 'ma pi' lo but now better d lo. Then, he said I need to cut down on some categories of food & drinks. Furthermore, I am easily tired & fatigue nowadays. "lam pong' d lo...
Ages is catching up on me it seems!

Next, during my medical check-up, my pressure was a little high & doctor advised me to recheck my pressure in a month time. Looked like I am in a really bad shape currently.

Life's tough. Life's full of thorns. We can live to our best possible abilities but at the same time we need luck & guidance from the MIGHTY one!

2010-04-14T17:39:00.006+08:00

Today, I 1 recommend another satay celup place
When we makan satay celup in Mlk, usually we only thought of either Capitol or Ban Lee Siang in Ong Kim Wee & to a little extent McQuek's
But there's another outlet in Cheng as well, called Kingtu Satay Celup

Big Welcome sign welcomed you there

1 thing I notices here is that there's quite a variety there
> button mushr0oms
> 'sao rou'
> 4-5 types of sosages
> & even the gravy can add extra-hot if you loved spicy... beware 'coz the original gravy is pedas d!

It's still 50sen/stick but there are certain items with 2 sticks or even more than 2 sticks (sotong depending on the sizes)

Don't be surprised if you got there & u saw long lines waiting ala to the scenario at Capitol Satay Celup!
We were lucky to go there early(6pm) as later on as we sat down more n more ppl kept flocking in.
Damn alot of ppl lo I tell you!

Be early & choose the tables inside if you do not 1 others to stare at you eating as asking you to EAT FAST & GET YOUR ASS AWAY S0oN!
Haha

Overall, a good alternative to Capitol & Ong Kim Wee & McQuek's
I love it there!
Will certainly come back for m0re!

The new section of 'makan-makan' opened recently at AEON Bandaraya Mlk
called -F.0.o.D A.v.e.n.u.e-
a place where few new shops opened up

makan place like GARDEN RECIPE, ALI CAFE, OLDTOWN, SECRET RECIPE, & etc
There's more choices to choose now

place to intro Food & Tea [HK]
a makan place ala Kim Gary's

I personally like their decorations
especially the lamps & lighting
Nice environment & ambience
with chinese music

On the menu,
Ordered a baked rice set which comes with a soup, tea & ice-cream
Ordered side-dish, 'mantou with sauce' (the mantou very x3 small!)
The baked rice is damn cheesy, eat alot will get 'jelak' easily
F0od tasted 'ok-ok' lo
Prices - std lo for such places =b

How I won't put on weight?
How I won't 'gemuk'?
C all I makan alone
She ordered, I makan & sapu habis...
Hahaha

McD

2010-03-30T10:31:00.003+08:00

Rm4.50/set from 4am-11am daily; only for weekdays
(if I'm not mistaken)

But look at the bun?
This was n0t the !st time the bun was served in such shape!
The shape looked like it was chewed by some pest or what!
Or mayb it was over-burned & need to be cut away!
But, the bottom-line is where's the Quality Contr0l?
& is that the way they served customers?
Customer satisfaction, any1?

We are n0t getting what we paid for!
DiSsapp0inted !

Ibu ibu
Engkaulah ratu hatiku
Bila ku berduka
Engkau hiburkan selalu

Ibu ibu
Engkaulah ratu hatiku
Tempat menyatakan kasih
Wahai ibu

Betapa tidak hanya engkaulah
Yang menyniari hidupku
Sepanjang masa engkau berkorban
Tidak putusnya bagai air lalu

Engkaulah ratu hatiku
Tempatku menyerahkan kasih

How To Train Your Dragon (3D)

From the studio that brought you "Shrek," "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda" comes "How to Train Your Dragon" - a comedy adventure set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, based on the book by Cressida Cowell. The story centers around a Viking teenager named Hiccup, who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen's smarts and offbeat sense of humor don't sit too well with his tribe or its chief, who happens to be Hiccup's father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup's one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.

KL, here we c0me!
2 ppl with 2 different objectives
1 to w0rk
1 to accompany

After spending the whole day 'solo-ing'
where I myself was proud of myself
for being able to spend so long time in a single place for the whole day
Give a round of applause to myself (haha..paiseh)

Then, after a very tiring day
We settled down & pampered ourselves with SAKAE SUSHI at The Curve
It was my 1st time eating SAKAE SUSHI

Tech 1: Menu in the PC itself, we can do all our ordering through the PC, each table attached with a PC..c0ol

Tech 2: Each table attached with a pipe, self-service refill of hot water for your Green Tea

Now to the sushi, saShimi... nicely arranged & yummy!
RM5.90/plate

I remembered a good old s0ng 2Day while I was thinkin'

Let me present you BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS by the evergreen GREENDAY

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

"When I was just a little Kid, my mother asked me What would I be?
Will I be handsome? Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me, Kevin o Kevin!
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours' to see.
Kevin o Kevin "

When you are in the primary school, when the teacher asked, "What will you like to be when you grow up?" The standard answer will always either be doctor, lawyer, fireman, pilot or other high pay/post job.

Now when you were all grown up.
With the job you were doing now.
Does it matched with your ambition?
Have you studied the right course?
If not, why had you studied that particular course?
In case if you had studied a wrong course, will there be a way out?
Can the mistake be rectified? Is there a remedy for it?
Are you happy with your current job?
Are you happy with your current life?
What should be looked for in a job?
Experience? or Money $$? or stability?
If you were dissatisfied with your job, what's your next move?
We often wondered, "What if...?" "If only...."
There's tons of unanswered Questions in our LIFE

I have been l0okin' for answers all my Life & some I believed even when I am 6-feet-underground, I will never find the answer that I wanted!

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

We're the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it

The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

Yeah, we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Days gone by,
Time ticking away,
Slowly my confident faded along,
Slowly my optimism melted away,
I might regret that day,
Doubt is aplenty in me,
How should I face the future?
How should I face him?
How should I face her?
But now, a challenging barrier is waiting upfront,
Where One wr0ng t Wist, I might be facing a dead-end.
U-tuRn was not an option.
Till then, I shall carry on fightiN'.

Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief

2010-02-21T01:04:00.002+08:00

Trouble-prone teen Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of school but that's the least of his problems. The gods of Mount Olympus and other assorted monsters seem to have walked out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology texts and into his life and they're not happy. Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen and Percy is the prime suspect. Now, Percy and his friends must embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true thief, save Percy's mother, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

NIce Movie!!
Can see Medusa, Centaur, Zues & Hydra (characters from DOTA) haha...
but in the end a little bit draggy...
Overall, enjoyable movie!

SuShi.moVie-ing Time

2010-01-10T09:03:00.018+08:00

I promised her this

but n0t suShi King.....
I fulfilled my pr0miSe
& with my brain as the 'digital map' as well as this add -24, Lorong 8, Taman Desa Duyong- as the guide, including the GREEN LIGHT from my HER... we set-off to find our destination for the night........

Based on my instinct & empty + hungry tummy, I drive my way there & without even a chance of 'sesat-ing'....without even me realising I have reached my destination *full of confident* (sibeh action - pls 4give me)

Here we are... SAKURA HOUSE
HIdden between houses in the housing area of Taman Desa Duyung...

Time to order..
Time to browse through the MENU
Time for some 'cam-whoring' session as well la..
....nyek..nyek....nyek... (still remember this??)

Green tea (nice little teapot)...
Unagi -yummy-
Baby 0ctopus - 'super yummy; my personal favourite'
& little cups, plate & chopstick (if not how to eat & drink woh???- Hehe)

After tummy heavy d...
Next we need to let our tummy grows bigger by sitting...

this is where we spent our 1 hour ++ to sit, enjoy + laugh & laugh & laugh &.....of course continue laughing la... (although MBO is super cold!!!)

Sypnosis:
Two best friends - one unlucky-in-love divorcee (Robin Williams) and the other a fun-loving bachelor (John Travolta) - have their lives turned upside down when they're unexpectedly charged with the care of six-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins (newcomers Ella Bleu Travolta and Conner Rayburn), leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what's really important in life.

Bottom Line: A movie you can sit & just LOL with the stupidity & humor. But the movie started at a fast pace...U might feel a little 'kong' at 1st; moving at 5th gear...but slowly the movie moves into 2nd gear...where all the laughter started.....
Btw the tile of this movie is OLD DOGS (if you are wonderin')

.....A day with WORK-LIFE balance in place....

Bottom line, the movie is flat & lifeless compared to other vampire's movie. I slept towards the end of the movie 'coz I found as the movie went on it was a little draggy...besides the movie is short of 'leng-cai(s)' & 'leng-lui(s)' as well.....Not really recommended, might as well watch Sherlock Holmes or The Avatar....

It's 10++pm, had a ride to Capitol Satay Celup with the intention to eat but it was full house!!! Guess that was not a surprise as it's always full house anywhere with ppl who rela to queue up in a long line jz to have a celup-ing session. Wat the heck!!! It was Tuesday night man!!! Also full house meh..Sigh... Not to be discourage by that, we head to Ong Kim Wee's Ba Lee Siang for our 1st meal of the year 2010. Lut-Lut, as ever tasted so yummy...Finger Celup-ing Good.... and we had one of our cheapest celup session for quite some time. Not a bad way to start our Jalan-Jalan Makan-Makan for the year 2010 >.< style="font-style: italic;">destroyed by HAPPY. Bad bad Dog!!! Getting naughtier & more mischievous each passing day... Made her so geram & sad. WHy not since it's the 2nd pair being destroyed within a month. All thanks to HAPPY!!! Not wanting to c her sad, I drive to Mydin 24hours Bazaar to try to get her a new pair wanting to give her a surprise but not a single design I found suitable for her. I left empty-handed. If only MP open 24/7 as well... Haha.

Again, m0st importantly, she's BACK!!! :x

Confession

2010-01-05T07:45:00.009+08:00

Dear dd .................................................................................

1 m0ody guy I am and this had inflicted pain on you on more than one occasion. I have hurt you more than once and we have shed tears too in our short but meaningful relationship. Both of us are hurt when we are at 'war' & I belief that this shows how much we care and love each other. We even have time for 'childish quarrel' when we are far away from each other. Thinking back of this hopefully will make us smile in future on how silly we are =) Nevertheless, we have many unforgettable & happy memories as well; one which I will treasure forever in my life. The bottom line is that in spite of all this avoidable problem we have gone through, I want to tell you that you meant everything to me. I have enjoyed every single hours, minutes & seconds of my time with you throughout this 11months +

Hopefully, we will grow stronger from this & pull us closer together than before. As ever, this m0ody and naughty guy, from the bottom of his heart love & miss you 'gao-gao' >.< ............................................................................From: ybab

Special One

2010-01-04T00:42:00.003+08:00

Who's a SPECIAL ONE?
Someone other than your family.

Some1 who are willing to share your joy and misery. SOme1 who forgives you even when you hurt her. SOme1 who cares for you, some1 when she's not around makes you want to see her evermore, some1 that makes you miss her so deeply when you are far apart. SOme1 you trust, that you are willing to share every single story and secret with. Some1 who worry for you when you are facing problems. Some1 who goes through the problems and solves them 2gather with you. Some1 you want to meet & share the good news once you have one; some1 who are willing to listen to every single craps from you. Some1 who loves you and request nothing in return, just hoping to be loved and care. Some1 who you just can't describe in words nor sentences, some1 you just have to feel...

What's your descriptions of a special one?
Have you found that some1?
I am proud to say, I have found that some1 special.....

One of the lesson I had learnt during my short life so far is to treasure your FAMILY,
FAMILY,
is the one closest to us & m0st of the time.
FAMILY,
is the one supporting you and standing by you no matter what you are going through.
FAMILY,
is the purest and they don't ask for anything as return.
FAMILY,
is the one often we ignored & abandoned when friends are around.
and yet they cared for us no matter how much we had hurt them.
FAMILY,
is the one who was there when you were born.
is the one who see you through your kindergarten, primary, secondary & university.
is the one who provided you with those 'extra educations' at home that shape who you are 2day.
is the one provided shelter & finance till you are capable on standing by your own.
is the one who often been blamed for the slightest of mistake and yet still offer you hugs & smiles.
is the one who are at your graduation ceremony no matter what circumstances .

is the one who rather suffer themselves instead of seeing us suffer.

is the one who rejoice when we excel in our academy as well as work.

is the one who called to comfort and made sure everything is fine and okay.

is the one who stay awake every night till you return home safely.
is the one who never expected their sacrifices to be repaid.
is the one who never asked for anything in return for their love, care & dedication.
and yet we still ignore them.........

Love them & care for them.
Because life's a cruel one. Don't wait till it's too late & regret later!

Without them, we wont be here 2day!
Without them, we won't be where we are 2day!
Most importantly, without them, LIFE will never BE THE SAME again!

Sakura House

2010-01-03T18:07:00.009+08:00

A place highly recommended by my friends
They said that it was cheap & tasted fine & okay
Didn't know there's a sushi 'makan' place in Duyong
They said it's better to call & book in advance
to avoid going there and not finding a place to sit & eat
You can even order through the phone & jz fill your tummy once you get there

Details are as below:

Sakura House, Taman Desa Duyong, Melaka

Sakura House
24, Lorong 8, Taman Desa Duyong, Melaka, Malaysia.
Telephone/Facsimile: +606-268 1271/+6019-687 1468 (Mr. John Chong)

& this is how Sakura House looked like from the outside...I think so 'coz I jz got it from the internet...haven't go there b4...hehe

& after I did some research I found that this Sakura House is a Japanese style restaurant in a housing area at Duyung. Yes, it is inside a house actually, some-sort like a home-style restaurant. & best of all no government & service tax!!!

-Fruits-

2009-11-16T16:56:00.007+08:00

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI:
Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE:
An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY:
Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE :
Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON:
Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene â€” the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA:
Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Wheel 0f Life

2009-11-02T21:45:00.006+08:00

How high is the mountain,
How deep is the sea,
How long will man learn to live.
How blue is the ocean,
How green is the leaf,
How long will man learn to be free.

For you shall not go
Round and round again,
In this wheel of life;
And you shall not go
Down and down again,
With your fruitless strive.

How long is the night,
To the sleepless one,
Waiting for the morn to come,
How long is the road,
To the weary one,
Carrying on the route that he can't.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

Why, do you always do this to me?
Why, couldn't you just see through me?
How come, you act like this
Like you just don't care at all

Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

Hey, listen to what we're not saying
Let's play, a different game than what we're playing
Try, to look at me and really see my heart

Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even when you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

So go and think about whatever you need to think about
Go ahead and dream about whatever you need to dream about
And come back to me when you know just how you feel, you feel
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me

It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

I am feeling lost

Not in a deep blue sea

but in this concrete world

I am feeling m0ody

For no real reasons

Just like the unpredictable weather of late

I am feeling d0wn

like the ten-pins being crushed by the rolling bowling ball

I am feeling uncertain

like a blind man walking without a 'tongkat'

I am feeling so blur

As though I am facing a group of Japanese speaking peers

I am feeling so 'R0jaK'

like a chinese guy marrying a malay lady, adopting an indian child!

Happy 52nd Merdeka Day!!!
