Melbourne ....Home to be?

2010-05-20T21:46:00.004+08:00

I finally got my Australian residency status. Actually was last year haha....but only did my entry this year, 7th May 2010.

How do I feel? I felt going home for a celebration hahaha....really, the whole feeling is relaxing and easy.

This is the only trip where I did not took any photos. Really....not even one picture. Oh wait, there is one which I took in KLIA. Why this picture? Because in my entire life, this is the most expensive bottled water that i ever had!!! 8 ringgit for a such a small bottle of mineral water. Maybe small is not really descriptive, i should use the word "petite" to describe the size hahaha. The best part is i got thirsty again in the next 10 minutes.

Apart from the absurd price i paid for the water, i really enjoyed my short trip this time. I get to meet all my closest and bestest friends. Having the the time to share jokes, laughs, our problems and many other childhood memories. You guys really helped me to off-load some of my problems i have in mind.

So the next the question will be, is Melbourne going to be my home? I hope so....but it is not as easy as that. I need to have a steady job, a higher paid or better paid than what I have right now. Should I take the risk and make the leap? That is one thing that is bothering me......

Well, like the old chinese saying.....When a boat is about to dock, it will always sail in a straight line..... I am waiting for my breakthrough....

This is the 8 ringgit mineral water that i bought from coffee bean!!!!

Decision...

2010-05-18T22:57:00.002+08:00

Decision, something that I would avoid. Did you realised that in life, it always involved this sort of choices. From the time you woke up to the time you went back to bed, it always involved decision. You need to decide on what to wear, what to eat, what to do for the rest of the day, where to go, whom to meet, and the list goes on. It is so exhausting sometimes.

Life as an infant is the best I think, where most of your decisions are taken care of. You do not need to decide on what to eat because there is only one standard meal for an infant. Even if you are kid, those meal choices are decided for by your parents. That would even includes the clothes to wear, and everything else.

But when you grew older, things you need to decide for yourself. Choices that you have to make the best for you. It is good sometimes to decide especially those that are obvious and of your choice. But what if those choices aren't what you want to have or you are not sure what you want anymore, what sort of decision would one need to choose or make ? How to make them?

I am a person who is lazy to decide especially on meals. I would just go to the same restaurant ordering different dishes on the menu. Or maybe I am exhauted from making choices and deciding has somehow put me in a dormant mood. To have someone to decide for you is then having a potential control freak that makes your life pretty much act as if like their remote control. I dont want that and I dont think I would be happy with that.

But then what is the one thing that I would be happy? That I would know that is the one? What is the one thing that really scares me at this point? Why is it so hard now for me to make one decision? Is it I am fighting with my internal self or am I running from something? I dont know and I dont know why am I feel so scared to make that decision that everyone is anticipating. The risk? The uncertainty that it possess? Something that I need to decide for myself, whether I will want to continue to stay put or take a leap and see if I can make it. Again, decision decision decision...... Sigh....I guess it is part of growing up.

How Do You Do?

2010-05-17T20:52:00.003+08:00

Not sure how many people realised that is one question that was asked too many. It is almost the second question that sort of comes out naturally after you have said your selective hi or hello. It became a habit for everyone to say it, sometimes it doesnt carries the weight from its original meaning.

In the cyber world of chat, that is a convenient opening line for everyone, myself included. It is convenient and safe and you gives you enough time to think of another while waiting for an answer, so long if the other person you are talking to is of your interest. I used that line a lot and even more when I am in australia. Everywhere you go in Australia, hey there how are you doing.....of course you need to know that they are expecting a standard "im good, how about you?" answer from you. Whether they meant it or not, that is not the question.

Funny to think about it, in europe or malaysia we dont normally use that. There is sort of another way of determining the person is fine or not. By their looks, oh wait that just only me I think. Yeah come to think of it, when we not ask that sort of question. Whether we meant it or not, it is always felt good when someone asked how you do on that particular day. The problem with that question is when we have an elaborative respondent. It is a nightmare to hear how awful day it turned out to be for someone who you dont really care. I mean it is ok to hear from a friend but from a stranger, it just sometimes makes you feel awful or better if you managed to turn his negativity to the sun.

How Do You Do? I heard that a lot and that is one question that i dont have a real answer. I will always have a standard answer to give it to anyone who were to ask me. "I'm fine, thank you. " But am I really fine? am I feeling really good? am I really having a great day? Not all the time but I guess to save everyone's trouble, just give one simple answer that everyone would have expect and bring a smile on. The world doesnt need to know in details of how I feel.......it is one easy question with a hard answer.

So now, How Do You Do????.......

A Horrified Day at J-day

2009-03-27T12:37:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, my sister and I went to Jusco. I wanted to get something for my friend who just deliver a baby girl, so I asked my sister to come along. When we arrived at the place, so many cars were parked haphazardly along the way. The parking is full and so I have no choice but to park few metres away from the complex. Still wondering what is the big occassion?

When we walked in, I got a shocked. Goshhhhhhhhhhh so many people !!!!!!! There are this pool of people going everywhere and so crowded the complex. Then we realised, it is Jusco member sale. Obviously this is my first time came for a member sale. I am a person who hates crowded places. Placards are everywhere, banner are highly lifted across the complex to signify the Day where Jusco give such offer to her members. Then there are people with hailer. Yes in the complex!!! Then suddenly I feel myself walking in a "high class pasar malam" hahahaha....

So I quickly get my stuff and get through my annoyance of getting bumped each time. Then we went to take a look at the supermarket. My Lord.....people just grabbing everything and anything. The trolleys all are full and the resit from the cashier was few metres long. I then wonder, are the things really that cheap? do they really need to stock up like that? Not that our country is going into deep recession tomorrow or it is a war stricken area that by tomorrow we will hungry to death. Toilet rolls all gone......vitagen, gone.....rice 30 ringgit only per packet....gone, ultra soft pillows....gone, comforter....gone.

This is indeed my first experience and truly shocking at the way Malaysian behave when it comes to sale. The word SALE or DISCOUNT truly plays some magic in our mind. I mean myself too are fond with two words on certain items hahaha. There is this man who shopped till he sweats.....i mean really sweat as if he has run on a marathon or something. Funny that there are two ambulances parked outside the complex on standby hahahaha.... I am not exaggerating, it is true. My sister even told me that people started to queue up in front of the complex as early as 8 am. That is really like what, 2.5 hours earlier from Jusco's operating hours. One word "kiasu" hahaha......imagine yourself to queue as 8 am all to get two new bottles of 1 ringgit cheaper Dynamo, or two ultra soft pillows for the price one.....hahaha

As for me, I just merely walk around and yet I still have my Vitagen....hehe. No need to queue or get up early :)

Black Testicles

2009-03-25T12:04:00.001+08:00

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, still heavily sedated from a difficult four hour surgical procedure. A young student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath. Nurse', he mumbles, from behind the mask 'Are my testicles black?' Embarrassed, the young nurse replies 'I don't know Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet.' He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, are my testicles black?' Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his testicles in the other, lifting and moving them around. Then, she takes a close look and says, 'There's nothing wrong with them, Sir !!' The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly, 'Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but listen very, very closely..... .

' A r e - m y - t e s t - r e s u l t s - back ?

Your Love

by:Jim Brickman (sang by Michelle Wright)

it's not the flowers, wrapped in fancy paper
it's not the ring, i wear around my finger
There's nothing in all the world i need
when i have you here beside me,here beside me

Chorus
so you could give me wings to fly
and catch me if i fall
or pull the stars down from the sky
so i could wish on them all
but i couldnt as for more
cuz your love is the greatest gift of all

in your arms, i found a strength inside me
and in your eyes there's a light to guide me
i would be lost with out you
and all that my heart could ever want
has come true

so you could give me wings to fly
and catch me if i fall
or pull the stars down from the sky
so i could wish on them all
but i couldnt as for more
cuz your love is the greatest gift of ally

ou could offer me the sun, the moon
and i would still believe
you gave me everything
when you gave your heart to me

so you could give me wings to fly
and catch me if i fall
or pull the stars down from the sky
so i could wish on them all
but i couldnt as for more
cuz your love is the greatest gift of all

Smiley...

2008-12-01T21:48:00.002+08:00

Today I dont feel so good. Kinda felt low and sad. I lost in my quest to fight for my promotion. Well I already expected that that lobster would not be that kind but I want to try it anyway. The verdict is I am right....he is not that kind.

Well at least someone know what I did and how much I have put it into.....So God, can I have a good promotion hahahaha.. You know I felt so low today after the meeting. Then, at night my sister called me and told me that go outside and see the moon. So I thought what is so special about it, so I went and see nothing because at that time I was having drinks with Karin & Chin Wei. The buildings kinda blocked the view. Then as we are driving back, I saw it.

Two stars that makes like an eye and the cresent moon which is in a U shape.....it indeed looks like a smiley face. Then, all of a sudden i felt good again. I felt like God is smiling down at me hahaha. I felt energetic and somehow received the assurance that I am seeking.

Last week I was almost in tears when my ex boss left. He is going back to europe. I was almost in tears because he told me "Kevin, I am very proud of you". Yeah, with just that it touched and moved me so much......I mean how many times people actually told you that. All my hardwork is sort of paid off even with just one recognition. All I am fighting for is really for someone to acknowledge me....... I am so happy on that day, with just a simple statement like that would already make me a great day....Thank you.....

Love Poem (No on Prop 8)

Joke of the Day

2008-11-21T20:28:00.000+08:00

Read this joke from Jolly's blog....very funny...

A man escapes from a prison where he has been kept for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair. While tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her on the neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.

While he's in there, the husband tells his wife: "Listen, this guy is an escaped prisoner, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail, and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, do what he tells you, just give him satisfaction, no matter how much he ravages you. This guy is probably dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you".

To which the wife responds, "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked if we kept any Vaseline in the bathroom. I told him where to find it. "Be strong,honey. I love you,Too."

Gavin Newsom....my latest Hero...

2008-11-20T23:51:00.003+08:00

Gavin Newsom the current mayor of San Franciso.....my latest hero. Now why would I called a mayor in a city that I am not part of or even visited before as a hero? I watched the documentary "Pursuit of Equality" yestesrday and I am so touched by what this man stands and fight for. Truly admired by his courage to set what is right.

Equality is for all. It indeed is for all, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or anything. Everyone regardless of their background should be given the same and fair treatment. I am not an american nor I went to america before but I know what is it feels like to be have the same dream, to be in the same fight. I am gay who lives in this part of the world where tolerance to our community can be associate to the Stonewall era. I am absolutely admired Gavin courage and what he stands for in pursuit to set things right. What more even impressing is, he is straight. A straight guy to fight for gay cause is very rare.....a Straight Politician guy fighting for a gay cause, now that is a sign !!!! The time has come for us to arise !!!..

Its time for gay people I guess to come out from the closet. I think we are in the closet for too long that we do not know who we are anymore. This is our fundamental rights that we ought to fight for. If we were to continue to keep silent, then forever we will not be treated fairly and be taken seriously. Think about this, if we got a choice, we wont be living in this unique created live given to us. We will be like all those normal people out there, living and leading in the "ideal" lifestyle.

Why would we need to fight for all this? Marriage as often they said is between men and a women. But what actually the real definition of marriage? To me, a wedding is a time where two loving people who decided to make a vow to each other to stay commited and love each other for better and for worst. It is a sacred moment of course .....but it is not limited to straight couples only. If people decided to have that commitment in life, why cant we? Many christian said no because it is not right.......but then again as a christian, we shall not judge. We are not the judge, at the end of it during the day of Judgement, gays married couple are not going to explain to the christian people. They are to answer to God himself, directly where neither of us would need to be involved!!!! So stop playing judge and act like we are God.....cause we are not. Marriage is solely a decision by two consenting and rational adults, a decision where they made on their own......that we would need to respect, we would need to take it and if they are committed to one another.....they should get whatever same rights as any married couples are.

I believe in marriage and I believe in God, and I am gay......so i guess that is why I am sentimental about this thing.....
Watching the documentary and came to read a few articles for the "say no to 8" campaign, I felt like hey so many people, even those people in power are giving their thumbs up for this campaign.....i realised i need to voice out as well. Even though whether that prop8 win or lose, it doesnt affect me but as a gay person, I guess I should give my support .....

Equality is for all and say NO to PROP8....

Promotion....yet again?

2008-11-20T23:41:00.002+08:00

Today at work, I am writing my job description. Yes you are reading it right, me writing my own job description of which my lobster boss asked me to do few weeks ago. Finally, my mood is good today to pen it down. What pissed me off is that why would I have to write my own job description? Isnt that supposed to be prepared by him? and when I asked for format....no idea, no clue. So I just did it free flow and wrote as if I am in heaven hahahaha.....

Well basically if your boss cant write your job description, its up to you to bring yourself to heaven hahaha.....I wrote three pages along of my skills and competencies. Yeah three pages long and for each skill, I quote what I did hahaha....

At the end of the exercise, I realised hey I am indirectly doing a self assessment on the my job group competencies. So I make a comparison to a job group higher than mine. To my surprised, I am close...in fact I think I am qualified for a promotion. So the evil side of me have a sneaky plan hahaha. I wrote to my boss and told him what I did for the job description and at the same time asked for a promotion !!! hahahaha.

Then I realised last year around this time, I too asked for the promotion and I got it hahaha and this time same thing happened, but not sure if I would be lucky enough haha. So fingers crossed and pray hard that I would get it as well this time. But chances are quite slim in this situation that I am leaving the team.......but if you never tried, you never know rite hehe.

If I got, it means I jumped two ladder in just 12 months hahahaha....... and that is really in heaven!!!

Bureaucractic Day

2008-11-17T20:29:00.004+08:00

Today I almost forgot my best friend birthday hahaha....how could I? I was so drunk yesterday because of my ex-colleague's wedding. I already did some stupid stuff that I did not want to even speak about haha. Today when I woke up, I developed a headache.....yeah hangover. Gosh, it been years that I actually had this. Maybe really my age is catching up hahaha...or maybe not hehe.

Anyway, today went to the Klang Court to see a translator. My gosh, I dont know why I feel so fearful of court hahaha. You know sitting there, watching every lawyers walking around and those people.....the question you asked is "hmmmmmmm what did they done wrong?" hahaha then to the lawyers "eeee why all botak one" hahahaha The court building was built at 1965...no kidding, was already there way before I was born haha.

Then after that I went to the land office to get a form. Have to wait for almost an hour for a form. And the best part is, the whole process of land transfer will take me 1.5 years.....really !@#$!@$%#$!@#...

Work itself today or any other day is not fun anymore. I feel more stressful each day and grumpy. Dont like my bosses and their stupid ideas. Nonsense direction and rubbish decision.....God, I really...wait desperately want a new job !!!! But today dont want to talk about it....

Stress......How Can I Have One Day Without You?

2008-11-06T21:16:00.002+08:00

Lately in tremendous stress.....yeah, not feeling happy, full of worries and then just feel so low. So many things happened at the same time might not be a good idea actually. I finally submitted my skill asessment today. Hopefully, everything will go well.....

Went through my appraisal yesterday. I dont really put a high expectation on my bonus this year. I think it is for the better, at least I dont feel dissapointed at the end. Dont get me wrong, the appraisal went well, I got good comments for my performance but based on my experience, good comments doesnt always equal to good bonus. Anyway, will wait and see...

Talk about my next role....today, during one of the session, my new boss told me that if i dont find a job come next September, he would not close my window. It sounds good isnt it? Just that after this statement he added, "If I shut your window, I dont know what am I going to do with you, afterall I would have a replacement for your position by then". It just broke my heart. I mean I knew about the whole game rule, but to hear it is somehow different. But I am alright. I already had myself ready that if I still could not secure my next role in shell for x period, I would resigned on my own account. Afterall, it is easy for me to secure a position out there.....hmmmm maybe during recession might not be a good idea. But yet again, what option do I have....

The stress I have over this and couple with the others.....somehow I feel so tired and weak. Like now in this case, I could not see a difference of me at a place where I am all alone and me here with friends and family. I mean right now, I got no one to talk to nor I got anyone I can talk to. Sometmes you tell your friend and you realised they are not really interested to know ...... it is better to have that problem to myself, afterall I am still the only one who going to face the whole ordeal. Being alone is something I should get adjusted to.....

When I look at the mirror today, I still smile even though the stress is still there, the problem of yesterday still lingers and the worries for tomorrow still hovering in my mind. Yet above all this, I would still smile because there will be no other better way to handle this than to smile.....
Then sun continue shine even though there are rains clouds settling in, it continue to shine even though people complain about the heat, it continue to shine even though the night is taking over its course. The sun never failed to shine because he believes he still has the power to bring a difference ....I want to be that sun, to continue to shine even though the whole around me seems to collapse or given up on me.......I want to continue to shine that light....

Will You Support Me???

2008-11-03T20:43:00.003+08:00

Today went to work for our townhall meeting. What is a townhall meeting? It is something like annual general meeting (AGM). I was elected to present my team's work. Basically to showcase our achievements for the year and knowledge sharing session. I did that presentation in front of few hundreds people....yeah a bit mind boggling huh...but I guess I am sort of used to do this already. I used to emcee, well sort of, in front of 200 over people in my previous company's annual dinner hahahaha....

What I find interesting was when people started coming up to me and commented about my presentation, how interesting it was and I was one of the best presenter....its so nice to hear such appraising words sometimes, it means your hard work sort of paid off. But, whenever I faced this sort of situation, I always got a blushed face....never failed. Too shy haha....but I got the whole groups of people laughing, so either I am a really good joker or I am a good presenter hahaha.

Anyway, today also after the meeting, my boss called me up for another short meeting. He asked me if I am interested to stay on with the team for another year......of which I can based in Holland during that period. Its nice right? But I turned that offer down. Now, many people think I am again stupid.....why turn down such offer. It was an offer for a position as transition manager....good pay, good place and expatriate term. If i took the job, I might get all those financial trouble that i am in.....all vanished in matter of days.

I turned the offer down, because money is important but I never let money to be the deciding factor. For me, the important thing is about my growth in terms of experience and career. The position sounds so lucrative but I knew it well enough that I would be doing the same thing again, the same struggle for the past two years. I turned it down because I felt myself should moved out from this comfort zone and start something new now. Something that can help me to grow in my career. I dont know if it was the right decison but normally if I made a wrong decision, I always strucked by guilt and regret. And this time around? Nope, nothing....just peace in my heart.

I dont know if I can get a new position come march next year. I dont know if I will ever to go back to my boss to beg him for my job back but I do know things would fall into places later. I have faith in Him to provide me what He promised and I have faith in the situation will get better....I need a lot of prayer because this struggle is slowly wearing me down.... What frustrated me was I dont know or I cant be assured of the job that I will be having.....or whether I would be able to pull it through. This insecurities are the one that I found myself fighting.....I cant denied that i did not felt fear....fear was part of insecurity, especially during this time of recession. Many have advised me not to do it during this time, that I should refrained myself of launching the plan this year, but instead wait sometime later. My instinct is telling me then "now or never" and I chose to believe them.......I guess, right now there is nothing more that I can do but just keep that hope high and really pray that things will fall into places. I am taking a high risk here out of faith. I know I can do it but I need people to support me, at least morally.....Will you support me? hahahaha....

From Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur....Factory Outlet Escapade

2008-11-02T21:58:00.002+08:00

Factory Outlet....is an interesting place now for me haha. I was in Melbourne few weeks ago and I shopped too much too many in factory outlet over there... Guess what? I just found out today that in Kuala Lumpur, we too have one place like Brisbane's Harbour town, just that ours are much much smaller, factory outlets.

My sister asked me if I am interested to visit the Esprit factory outlet. Since, I have nothing to do...so I answered yes. thinking that all they got to have is just one small shop with few clothes to call it as factory outlet. Yeah, me "looking down" on them. Cant blame me because last week when I went to the zara warehouse sales, all I got at the end of it was just a body full of sweat hahaha. Very hideous selection they got at the warehouse sales....and all big sizes!!!. So dissapointed was I that for the first time, I didnt get anything from a Zara sales hahaha.

Anyway, by that dissapointment, I thought it might be the same for the esprit outlet. But wait...when we arrived...then only I realised omg, this is my new playground !!!! hahahaha look at the left is Esprit and Quiksilver.....look at the right is Calvin Klein, Armani Exchange !!!! hahaha ...like all "teenage girls" I am estatic !!! The one thing that I did not do was screaming and keep gigling hahaha, maybe because my mother was with us hahaha.

Okie, the end result? I spent over RM 550 on Esprit and Quiksilver. Bought two shirts and two pants from Esprit. One shirt and one short from Quiksilver hehe.... I called my best friend, Anne, she scolded the hell out of me because I spent too much again....But then, Anne, if you see that guy who was queueing in front of me, he and his family, bought 35 pairs of shirts and shorts....worth how much? RM 2350!!!!! Eh I am almost dropped on the floor when I saw the pile of clothes on the counter and how the register blings in with four digits!!!. The uncle some more smile at me, I think I watched with an obvious awe hahaha. I mean I seen people bought many stuff on grocery but on clothing, this was the first time!!. Gosh, I wonder how big was their wardrobe is...hahaha

Upon walking out from the shop, my mother started her lecture....."Gosh, bought again.....your wardrobe is almost collapsing!!!! No more space to put in....." hahaha...I guess, i will just need to find space. If I tell her, I definitely would come here again....sure she will slap me there and then hahaha.... This trip a bit rush, no time to venture that CK and AX....till next time. I even already have someone in mind to bring along hahahaha..... KARIN, if you are reading this, get ready....leave Lisabel with your sister in law....this is a true sport, we got to go with energy hahahaha

Ok la tomorrow got important management presentation.....want to sleep...see ya.
P/s: why nowadays no more photos to see? because me very lazy hahahaha....next time la. Practising for my english test in dec !!! So have to write a lot haha

Surrender ~ Laura Pausini

2008-10-31T23:19:00.002+08:00

I can't pretend anymore
that I am not affected, I'm not moved
I can't lie to myself
that I'm not always thinking of You.
You made strong
to show me I'm not weak to fall in love
well I thought I'd never need
now I can't get enough
I always made it on my own
I always thougt that I would keep control
You changed everything I believed in
And now I just can't fight this feeling, baby!

I raise my hands and I surrender
'Cause Your love is too strong and I can't go on
Without Your tender arms around me.
I raise my hands and I surrender!
I don't wanna resist
cause your touch and kiss have shattered my defenses!
I surrender.

I have to admit that I
I never thought I'd need someone this way
'Cause You've opened my eyes so that I
I can see so much more.
I always made it on my own
I always thougt that I would keep control
You changed everything I believed in
And now I just can't fight this feeling, baby!

I raise my hands and I surrender (Oh, I surrender baby)
'Cause Your love is too strong and I can't go on
Without Your tender arms around me.
I raise my hands and I surrender!
I don't wanna resist 'cause your touch and your kiss have shattered my defenses!
I surrender...

I surrender to the feeling in my heart, uhuhu
I surrender to the safety of your heart
to the touch of your lips
to the taste of your kisses.

(Choir) I raise my hands and I surrender (oh, baby, baby)
'cause Your love is too strong and I can't go on
without Your tender arms around me, hey!
(Choir) I raise my hands (oh baby) and I surrender (surrender)
'cause Your love is too strong and I can't go on (without you)
without Your tender arms around me, hey!

I raise my hands and I surrender
'Cause Your love is too strong and I can't go on
Without Your tender arms around me.
And I surrender

(Choir) Surrender...Surrender...

I can't pretend anymore,
I can't lie to myself
that I'm not always thinking of You.

Ouch Ouch...

Today went to the gym...after three months of staying lazy, finally went to the gym today. The result? Sore muscle and pain everywhere hahahaha.....rusty already I think haha. I couldnt felt myself actually, my hands and my legs are as if not in my control....I am like a dead fish haha..

Thinking of tomorrow hitting the gym again but then now after this ordeal, I guess I am going to take a day off hahahaha.....at least a day.

After the gym, I am so hungry that I cannot help myself but to buy a fillet burger. They are now having this special menu....spicy filet hahaha...The taste not so bad but I still prefer the original one. After taken the filet, I came back and my mother cooked one big bowl of mee hon kueh hahaha.... I know I know, you sure said "my god...so tam chiak"....as in hokkien I normally would replied "mee hoon kueh niah la...." hahahaha....I like to eat....cannot help it. hahaha

Went through my appraisal with my new boss yesterday. That was my toughest appraisal that I ever had in my entire career...at least so far. It even have a follow up session!!! Can you imagine that? Normally, appraisal session you only have one but mine got two and have to detail in specifically with proof !!! Gosh, at the end of my first session, I actually out of breath. I told myself, this better be good......if at the end my bonus and increment is still as shit, I am going to give him a piece of my mind. People dont called me a "bitch" for nothing hahahahaha

Sigh, will write more next time.....even my fingers are also pain and weak hahaha....tata.

Three Things To Do...

2008-10-26T22:00:00.005+08:00

Lately, didnt manage to blog...too busy with everything and at the end of the whole thing, the last thing you want to do is to write. What am I busy with?

Firstly, I already at the final end of collecting my documents to kick out my skill assessment. Yes, all i need to do now is to get a notary public whose office is just 3 minutes away from my home hahaha am I lucky or what. Talk about lucky, the other day when I was reading the requirement on the skill assessment by ACS (Australian Computer Society, yeah yeah finally decided to go for Aus pr but too long to tell here....i will tell next time...i still have not write about my trip isnt it? hahaha well it will come ), they need me to have a letter from my university to confirm that I am a full time student and a letter to tell why certain subjects are exempted. I felt so frustrated and decided not to give them that....until they really asked for it. As I was pulling out my certificate out to do photocopy, the letter fell out....it was the letter from uni and yes the exemption letter as well hahaha. I must have asked them to wrote me those letter before I left. I have planned this migration ever since I was in uni hahaha but I forgot that I did that already hehe...so good.

Secondly, I am looking for a job to Canada. Eh eh eh...Canada? I thought you are moving to Aus? That was the expression I get whenever I tell a friend or a colleague. I am applying to Australia PR but I am not moving to Australia now, at least not so soon. I would still want to go to Canada to take a look and experience the adventure that it has for me.......if at the end of the fourth year, I do like it, then I continue to stay on. Otherwise, I go back to Australia. So now I am applying for a job of which is so hard with the current global economy tsunami...sigh.

Thirdly, I am looking for a good lawyer....why? Because I need to transfer my house title...well technically not my house yet. My father left with no will and so my mother wants to transfer the title to me now to save future complication. That is the thing, it is already complicated because he didnt left any will.....so a will is very important !!!! Sigh, anyway, I dont think I can do this myself...so better to engage a lawyer to do it for me.....I cant handle everything on my own. Too much to handle ....

Oopps need to sleep already.....tomorrow got to work. Huh work on Deepavali? Yeah I need to !!! anyway HAPPY DEEPAVALI...

For Your Love ~ Stevie Wonder

2008-09-17T07:15:00.001+08:00

All the gold in the world
Is nothing to possess
If all the things that it can bring
Can't add up to one ounce of your happiness

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see you smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

A diamond that shines
Like a star in the sky
Is nothing to behold
For minuscule is any light
If it can't like you brighten up my soul

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see you smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

I could have never fathomed this
Such joy , love and tenderness
That you give to me
For the love I feel inside
It's so wonderful I can't hide
And I glow, I glow
With just the thought of you
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see you smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

Change....A simple yet frightful word....

2008-09-14T22:21:00.002+08:00

Today went to Church and had this sermon that had me thinking, or rather make me realised many things about change.

Life itself if you do not take the extra step to move forward, you find itself repeating every single thing on its own. Without a change, this routine cyclic will remained until you make an effort to introduce something new into your life. This new thing that you introduced are the stroke of colours that you are painting on your life. Change itself has two result i think, one is you got what you wished for or you can get something that is awfully wrong. Some people is too complacent with what they have that they do not anticipate or hate change. But change is envitable.

For me, I want a change every now and then. I always only gave myself three years in everything, except relationship of course, to initiate a change. I find it is necessary to have new dreams, a new plan and a new ways in every three years. Three years are long enough to have a habit kicks in and enough for you to learn and to have what experience has to offer. Some did it in five years, but that is ok. What most important thing is we do dream. When we talked about dream, we basically dont just give it a thought. We have to plan and then make sure that the change is there in place to bring the dream to life. I like to set a realistic dreams for myself and I still do. Small dream with small plan can bring as much satisfaction as big dreams.

That is the reason I chose Canada, this time around. I want a change, not just to my career but also to my environment. I need to enlarge my social network, my spiritual walks and most importanly my life experiences. A change for me is something that always a part of me.....something that I like to try, even though at times I have a great deal of fear in me. I mean who will not be fearful right for something that you do not see. Men are most frightful for things that they have no idea of, like something that they cant see, hear or touch.....so little knowledge of the other side of the city makes you fear to attack the enemy. But what you got is to only use one card...."FAITH". You need to have faith in what you believe in......I find it important. Its faith that always drive people to go to the other side of the mountain even if they cant see where they are heading to. So today I told myself, I am going to renew my faith.......to just go with faith, to walk with faith and to work with faith. Everything shall be fine and if it doesnt, its still ok I got something added to my life to share.....

When I looked up to the sky and I know HE is smiling back at me.........and with that I know I will have everything to make the impossibles to be a reality that I can live with.

Another Day Goes By....

2008-09-09T21:18:00.003+08:00

Today after woke up from my sleep, I felt a bit dizzy. Dont know if I have overslept. Sigh, then I discovered I got another zit on my nose. Struggle to get it off before next week......now have to thrown in whatever Ozy or Clearasil to get rid of it. I looked like Rudolph my god....a red dot right in the middle of my nose.

Then as usual, I am fixing the blog, uploading some pictures and then chat with Melissa. Too caught up with the chat that I forgot that I am still not yet brush my teeth and shower and it is alraedy 11.40 when I realised. I have to leave my house latest by 12.15, otherwise i cant make it on time to office by 1 pm haha. So I get it done and when it came to my lunch, I was watching this game show on tv that I again totally forgot that I am actually late for work hahahahaha.... by the time i realised, it was already 12.35 pm!!!! Yeah, I rushed like mad to the office. When I reached half past 1, I just act nothing happened hahahaha

Today spoke to my colleague from Canada. Just to find out how is the life in Calgary. And the most interesting piece of news that I can remember is for a 900 sq feet condo apartment with two bedrooms would cost me more than 200k canadian dollars.!!!!! Well, I guess that is ok because I dont intend to buy a house in Calgary hahahaaha. I just a squatter in Calgary for a period of maybe three to four years before I move on to another place.....maybe squatter might not be a good word, sojourner might be better or politely said.

Sigh, I am so looking forward for the new challenge already. The previous fear of mine has magically disappeared. Now in fact I feel much more anxious, much more motivated to try something new......its like a child with a new toy. The only worry is how long would I last with the toy that I finally feel bored with it....Dont want to think about it, only when the time comes, I shall know. Now is to put aside and look forward for the new challenge!!

You will support me one hor? even though I am going to a place where I will freeze my arse off at -48 Celcius hahaha.... Never try never know....at least if I failed, then I can still shared the experience. That is the reason why I have not chosen Australia. I like australia just that I dont think I want to do Australia right now, since I have lived there and know so much thing about the place and the people, not to mention tonnes of friends in Down Under. If I go Australia, I am just going back to my old ways.....I would not be able to see and experience somethng different. That is why I chose Canada. A complete change of environment, people and everything except the language hahaha. Who knows I might find something magical there that I like.

Life itself is an experience, a journey. We have to take effort and plan our path, and by the grace of God we shall see and live it through. I want my life not to be a book fo expectation, a norm for everyone but an unique book that spelt outstanding to many others. A life that full of colours, full of joy and full of love. As my own saying goes " A life without a stroke of colour is an empty page but a full life represent a colourful masterpiece that everyone would admire"

Birthday Bash for Vendetta

2008-09-08T23:36:00.013+08:00

Last saturday we celebrated Chin Wei's birthday at Neway Centro Klang, two days earlier than its actual date. In fact, today is his actual birthday. Happy Birthday V !!!

Anyway, we went to the karaoke lounge as early as 6 pm, a bit kiasu mah hahaha. The karaoke came with a buffet style. I actually been to Neway before in Damansara but not the klang one. The food there was good but too bad, many things I cant take because of my surgical wound. Damn...I gave a raincheck on the oyster, mussel, prawns ....gosh, I want my seafood!!!!!

We sang songs like we used to do in karaoke.....and eat eat eat and then sing sing sing and then eating and singing and then singing and eating hahahahaha....

I went down to get ah V a cake from secret recipe because thought it will be better to have a cake to blow than none rite. I mean got cake for birthday to blow better mah.......can make wish, more complete. So I bought him a chocolate banana cake....which is nice. 2 kilo eh cake for 4 person, can eat until we vomit ah hahaha

At first thought that want to give him the surprise mah, just wheeled in the cake when the time is right. Mana tau, the waiter asked me something while I am on my way back to the room with my plate full with food. I thought she asked me "when are you finishing?" in cantonese, and I have no idea of what she said, I just told her "ahhh dont know, you should go to the room and asked them". Mana tau once she went into the room and asked "At what time you want the cake to be served!!!". When I heard it, aiyooooooo there goes my surprise.....celaka...never mind lor, easier just eat the cake hahaha.

So here are the shots that i took on that nite...

Room 9 Neway Centro Klang..... coincidentally the room no is 9, truly is Virgo, the Virgins...haha

Bring in the Food.....
Bring in the People....

Finally.....bring in the Cake...

Penang & Cameron 28th Aug ~ 2nd Sept 2008

2008-09-07T22:21:00.014+08:00

Its been a while that I updated my blog haha.....didnt had the time to do so actually. I was so worried of my wound that I may not be able to make it for my trip to Penang. The wound is still there but a person like me, would not let that be a show stopper hahaha. I went ahead with the trip anyway, bringing along all the solutions and plasters haha....

At the end of it, it was worth it....meeting my best friend Anne, had a such great fun together.. We had our talks, our laughs and shared time together to watch Ugly Betty haha....it reminded of our time in Australia. I really missed those times....

We went with the gang on a road trip to Cameron. Stopped over in Ipoh to have our breakfast...having to wake up at 6.30 am is no kidding really. When we reached Ipoh at this restaurant about 9 something, you basically have to queue to wait for a table...yeah no kdding. But what surprising was the bill, so expensive breakfast!!! hahaha

Cameron....ever refreshing but very rainy. Actually whenever I went to Penang or Cameron, it will be a raining season. I dont know why the rain clouds always followed me hahaha. We had our food, lots of food and lots of boost YaY!!!! We shared our most inner secrets, had our most evil jokes and most importantly enjoying each other company......Thanks guys for such a memorable and wonderful trip!!!.

Here are the some of the shots that I took during the trip.

Benji...My Beloved Toy Dog

2008-08-24T23:57:00.005+08:00

I always wanted a dog as a pet....Dog is men best friend. They sort of understand you in a way of their own. They have this unusual attachment, emotional attachment with men that no other animal has......sigh too bad, my mother laid a ground rule that no pet is allowed.

So, four years ago in order to solve my deprivity of pet, I bought benji.....hahaha A toy dog which I placed in my car. I named him Benji because that was the name I always wanted to name my dog. Together, we have travelled through far and near hahaha.....Today, while waiting for V to get ready, I just took few shots of Benji hahaha and myself of course

One fine day, I will get myself a labrador.....until that day, there is always Benji around hahaha

Part 2 : The Roaring Supper....

2008-08-24T23:15:00.006+08:00

After dinner, we went straight to Centro to take a brisk walk....only one word that can describe Centro....EMPTY haha.....not so many people and so little shop. But ok la for Klang standard....

We end up in Modesto....actually we are only planning for drinks....but then with kenny, chin wei and myself around, it is impossible to just have drinks !!! We end up eating more than our dinner hahahaha ....see for yourself.

For one thing I must said, they do have nice ambience there.....but too bad someone just has to do something about the "exhaust pipe". Otherwise everyone, the guys and the gals smelt like fried chicken.....all the GA, Channel, CK...all gone..

The ambience shots....

The food.....deco is totally out but at least the taste is okie....I dont like the bruschetta...my god.."lam pet pet" so geli.....a true bruschetta taste so much better than that....Of all, I think the pizzas are the great....My Blue Lagoon....not bad if you like cough syrup because it got a bit of the same taste but nicer.The "Lam Pet Pet" Bruschetta ala Modesto style.....taste ok but dont like the "softness"The chocolate cake.....dont really enjoy it...very dryHmmm the delicious thin crust pizza....not sure what flavor is this...I think should be the funghi something...Taste really goood

Kenny much awaited Garlic Bread

The chicken... Very dark cannot see? Exactly!!!! Cant see the chicken also so dark....the deco my god is so out. Not really appetizing .....my take, dont ever ordered this, unless of course you like "dark dark" food hahaha

Hawaiana thin crust pizza....deliciousssssssss

Okie, show yourself all ye big eaters ....

Part 1: The Roaring Dinner....

2008-08-24T22:26:00.007+08:00

All of us are born in August and so every year we will joined together to have this sort of dinner. Well, for few years Alan was in Australia, so couldnt join us haha but still if you are reading this, here are what you had been missing hahaha.

While waiting, time to do all those catch up with friends and more tit-bits haha.

Bocelli - Laura Pausini duet

omg....a superb duet by laura and andrea...
My god it became my favourite song instantly

Non Me Lo So Spiegare - Laura Pausini & Tiziano Ferro

2008-08-22T21:23:00.003+08:00

An Italian Song which means "Not Me To Explain" by both Italian artiste Laura Pausini and Tiziano Ferro. I knew Laura and love her work but first time heard of Tiziano. A very young artiste I would said. Dont ask me what is the song about because I dont know Italian hahahaha....just find the song very nice. So here it goes...

Un po' mi manca l'aria che tirava
O semplicemente la tua bianca schiena..nananana
E quell'orologio non girava
Stava fermo sempre da mattina a sera.
come me lui ti fissava
Io non piango mai per te
Non farò niente di simile...nononono
Si, lo ammetto, un po' ti penso
Ma mi scanso
Non mi tocchi più

Solo che pensavo a quanto è inutile farneticare
E credere di stare bene quando è inverno e te
Togli le tue mani calde
Non mi abbracci e mi ripeti che son grande,
mi ricordi che rivivo in tante cose...nananana
Case, libri, auto, viaggi, fogli di giornale
Che anche se non valgo niente perlomeno a te
Ti permetto di sognare
E se hai voglia, di lasciarti camminare
Scusa, sai, non ti vorrei mai disturbare
Ma vuoi dirmi come questo può finire?
Non melo so spiegare
Io no me lo so spiegare

La notte fonda e la luna piena
Ci offrivano da dono solo l'atmosfera
Ma l'amavo e l'amo ancora
Ogni dettaglio è aria che mi manca
E se sto così..sarà la primavera..
Ma non regge più la scusa...

Solo che pensavo a quanto è inutile farneticare
E credere di stare bene quando è inverno e te
Togli le tue mani calde
Non mi abbracci e mi ripeti che son grande,
mi ricordi che rivivo in tante cose...nananana
Case, libri, auto, viaggi, fogli di giornale
Che anche se non valgo niente perlomeno a te
Ti permetto di sognare..
Solo che pensavo a quanto è inutile farneticare
E credere di stare bene quando è inverno e te
Togli le tue mani calde
Non mi abbracci e mi ripeti che son grande,
mi ricordi che rivivo in tante cose...nananana
Case, libri, auto, viaggi, fogli di giornale
Che anche se non valgo niente perlomeno a te
Ti permetto di sognare
E se hai voglia, di lasciarti camminare
Scusa, sai, non ti vorrei mai disturbare
Ma vuoi dirmi come questo può finire?

A Bloody Day....

2008-08-21T23:39:00.003+08:00

Today I woke up around 10 something. Well did some chatting on the net, just lazy around my bed. When I got up to go to the toilet, i realised my shirt is filled with blood spots....not just one but many. I was like omg....am i internally bleeding....or internal combustion .....then I realised that i actually had a surgical wound. So it must be it rite. But when i checked, funny no blood.

So where did the blood comes from? It must be from that wound....otherwise where the hell the blood will be flowing. Do I sleep walked? Hmmm, silly imagination might tell me that I could have sleep walked and hurt someone. That blood was not mine hahahahaha too many Dean Koontz.

So after I took my bath. I had my lunch and surfing on the internet. My friend called to ask me about the australian visa. On the same line, I learnt that Air Asia is now flying to Melbourne. Only 500++ for a return, inclusive of taxes and fuel surcharge. Hey that is way too cheap!!!!.. So, I am so excited to check it out and told my sisters and friends like usual. I could not use that cheap promotion anymore as I already paid for my ticket to Melbourne. Anyway, it does not cover the period that I am going haha.

Then as I am driving to work, I feel something oozing out from my body. I was talking on the phone with Alan. Yeah I called him all the way to Melbourne to tell him about the AirAsia flight to melbourne hahaha. Maybe AA should hire me as their PR haha. Anyway, as I am talking to him, I suddenly felt some warm liquid flowing out. Then, I checked....yeah my shirt got this stain now...the same as I had this morning. I was like omg...I oozing blood again.

So...when I reached my office, immediately i dropped my bag and went to the clinic. My colleague asked me why what happened. I said "oohhh I need to get to the clinic quick, I am oozing blood". He was like huh gosh, how come. So I went into detail to him and said yeah look got stain and the stain i had all over my shirt this morning. He clearly was disgusted to hear the details but it seems like I am enjoing it haha. Then he commented, oh lucky you are wearing a red shirt today. I replied "red? it was white before i came here...." hahahahaha

The doctor said my wound got infected again :o( There is a hole and the liquid that is oozing out is not blood but some serum or body fluid. He pressed the wound and it is flowing, unshamely flowing out to my naked skin. The doctor wants me to take the antibiotic and come to do the dressing everyday until that hole naturally sealed up. Or did i tell you what they did the dressing....they stuff solution coated "cotton" into that hole and then it sealed it up with plaster. Sigh, as I am typing, that thing is still oozing arrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... bloody disgusting !!!!

God please helped me to get rid of this ASAP. I need to go for my holiday next thursday !!!!!!

A Day of Drama....

2008-08-20T23:34:00.004+08:00

Today is like a soap opera.....

As I was driving to office this afternoon, a bird flew to my car and got hit. I continue to drive on with a guilt inside me. So what I did is to take a five minute silent prayer for it to rest in peace. Poor thing....dont know what sort of bird is that but definitely not those crow and big bird. It is more like those tiny little brown colour bird i think.

Then, when I reached in the office, while I was working half way around 2.30, my phone rang. It was my sister. She told me that my maid ran away. I was like "alamak, are you kidding me?". My maid packed all her clothes in her bag and ran off through our back door. I think she already pre-planned this whole thing. Otherwise, how the hell she will have the time do the packing. Gosh, I couldnt even believe my ears when I knew about it. We treat her so well. Sometimes you just dont understand how their mind works. Here she go, ran away alone, a naive girl who thinks she can make a better living as an illegal immigrant now. As an employer we have no choice but to cancel the working visa that we issued previously. Not that we are cruel, but we have to safeguard our well being as well. You will not know what sort of trouble she might get into. So if she did get into those bad stuff, if the visa is still active, we will be held responsible. I am dissapointed actually.

Now have to make police report and tell the agent about the whole thing. We then have to go through the whole process again. My goodness!!!! What is more interesting is when i came back from work and found the note that she left behind. In her note she said "you would not understand how is it feels like to work in someone else house. I dont get used to it". My goodness, totally speechless. Did she came here on expectation that she will be staying in hotel and be transported to my house on limo? My god!!! unbelievably naive.

Okie, enough of the bad stuff. Actually I had the above two bad events but in return I also has two good events. Firstly, my colleague in holland found me the contacts to Calgary. Isnt it wonderful? She found me several contacts in Calgary that I can forward my resume to and they will fit me into the available position. That is a great news to hear actually. So grateful to her hehe.

On the other hand, today after work my colleague said there will be fireworks display. Apparently they are having this international firework competition this month. And today lucky me, is Canada. So, we four drove to the Cyberjaya lake and watch that fireworks display. Not so bad but I still think the one I seen last year was better. I think japan if i am not mistaken. Anyway, i did captured a few shots and here it is.

I love this song long time ago.....It gives you this boast of motivation....this thought of asking yourself what have you done that you can feel proud? Did you went to the extra mile, tried your best and be proud of what you have now? This song was great for motivation sometimes hahaha

================
I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people?
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?

An Ordinary Sunday...

2008-08-17T22:48:00.002+08:00

Today, woke up to go to church. Then went to PJ's Kanna Curry House for the banana leaf with Chin Wei. The food there not bad, many people. But....if you want to spend 60 bucks for a lunch for two, I would said a bit pricey. Eh eh eh, tiny shrimp also cost 10 bucks....small plate some more. Celaka betul....and who knows that small plate of sotong would cost me more than 10 bucks !!!! I paid the bill with disbelief hahaha....We thought it should be within 20 or maybe 30 tops. I got a shock when the register is blinking 60 bucks, it is like that day when I went to CK to bought my scarf hahaha.... my goodness.

The whole afternoon when I came back, chat with a Malaysian in Calgary. Learnt quite a bit from him and so funny that he is also from Klang haha. Maybe can make friend with him so that next time go there, at least got one friend mah to start with hahaha. Then, like most "ordinary" day, what is better to do than to take a nap right. Again I watched Shin Chan and fell asleep. Hey, I think it is because that cartoon is dubbed in English...not so interesting. I prefer the chinese version better.....so much funnier the way they talked.

Then my mother woke me up to go dinner with my sister. We went to the Berkeley kampungku for dinner. After that, we went to our second sister house to watch the Badminton Men's single final - olympic gold medal. Malaysia lost to China but I think Lee Chong Wei can do much better....maybe he felt pressure from the crowd or whatever....I mean so many mistakes he made. Nevertheless, he already did the best he could and done Malaysia proud for being the first men single in the olympic final. Well done !!! Next time gambate for the next tournament.

Tomorrow back to work in the office again.....a big group from Calgary would pay a visit....Hmmm, a sneak preview of the staff that I would be working with should I got the lead position hahaha. Till then here are the photos from yesterday dinner...

Cheers...tata

Another Lazy Saturday....

2008-08-17T00:05:00.004+08:00

Today my mother woke me up as early as 8.30 am...yes on Saturday!!!. Very grumpy, I will be grumpy if I dont get my enough sleep, or is it because I am always lazy to do chores hahaha...
Anyway, I woke up and took my bath and drove my mum and aunt Irene to my uncle's place. Today is my grandma "chor kee" day, they want to go there and pray. I dropped them off at my uncle's place and drove myself to SJMC.

I drove so slowly today......never in my life that I drove at 60km/h in federal highway. Not that I am super concious about road safety, but because i am one hour early for my appointment!!!.So, by the time i reached at their outpatient clinic, the nurse with a smile came and asked me to lie down on the bed. She closed the door....and started to examine my wound. Press here and there and then, music please... *theng theng thenh* out came a blade. It looks like a razor blade and as she is drawing that blade closer, my heart is pumping, adrenalin rushing, sweating....dont know if she took too many chicken feet yesterday or not hahahahaha, later cut wrongly like that stupid doctor. I lost my trust on this people after that horrible day. But hey, she was so skillful. I dont feel a thing and after that she sprayed some plaster....it is invisible and it is a liquid. You know sometimes you spray some sealer on a painted wood? yeah it works like that...
Then she advised me many things on what to do......i just nod my head and get the bill. I am so tired, my mind is fixed to my own bed....my deserving sleep hahaha.

Then i went to the counter to settle the bill. I took out my credit card all ready....then the clerk said "14.50 sir". I was like "huh how come so cheap...". Then she said "well if you want me to add in another 0, i can". I just smiled at her and obediently handed her the money....I am so embarrased already to even utter that stupid remark hahahaha.....Why am I so shocked? Because you dont always get 14.50 for a hospital visit hahaha, at least not on my experience.

I watched olympics, taken my meals and off to my bed watching Shin Chan. Laugh laugh laugh until so tired, I dozed off. The moment I woke up, my gosh my family all already got ready to go for dinner, it was like 7 pm already!!. My goodness, I must be really tired to sleep for 5 hours !!!.

Went to eat korean food but lazy to upload photo today hahaha...I will do it tomorrow la.
Now want to continue my Shin Chan hahahaha....

Btw, I am so anxious to see Grey's Anatomy fifth season already !!!! They are releasing this coming sept.....gosh, it will be another long wait. I just bought the complete season 4 dvd hahaha. Grey's Anatomy is my favourite serie...I wonder George will pass his retest, will Meredith and Derek be back together, will Liz and Alex be an item again, omg Kelly and Erica became lesbian hahahahahahaa. That was the funny part, the lesbian part hahahaha.....my goodness. I know Erica is a bit "lesbolic" but kelly ? my goodness, that fella is like a sex slave to the ever "McSteam" Mark Sloan hahaha..

ok got to go...see ya

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

2008-08-14T19:52:00.003+08:00

Was introduced by Karin to this song last week or so.....really nice, I like it now hahaha..

*video is extracted from YouTube.

I'm Yours lyrics
===========
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracksand now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
we´re just one big family
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family ([2nd time:] ah, la happy family)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won't hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure
Theres no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No I won't hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours, I'm yours

When Resting Day Became Shopping Day....

2008-08-10T21:23:00.003+08:00

After so many days at home, I felt so bored....yeah, I need to get out to have fresh air and just hang out other than television, or pc or whatever that reminds me of home haha. Today, my mother made me clean the water filter. You know it was so dirty, my goodness...rusty colour flowing out...can you imagine if you dont have this filter system, those things is actually inside your body? my gosh....
I took the below picture in disbelief haha.

Then off to shop with my sister. We went to Mid Valley because her husband wants to exchange some singaporean dollars. While, I just tagged along and also checked that I changed the Aussie dollars cheaper by 0.005 yesterday. Hey, it is still cheaper okie hahaha. Anyway, we went around and shopped. I actually dont intend to buy anything today. I even took out all my credit card except my HLB. My brother in law wants to see some shoes and so he did look around in metrojaya...and me on the other hand, just hang around until i came to this shoe and I pointed to him hey....look this is quite good, why not try it. He didnt try that shoe but I did....once I put that on, *drum roll* please, i am hooked again.

This time my sister and her husband, both, yeah looks good on you.....should buy it and it worth it....and so i said ok lets wrap it hahahaha..... and here it is

Beijing Olympic 2008 Song

2008-08-09T00:23:00.004+08:00

One World, One Dream.......Beijing Olympic 2008

2008-08-08T23:35:00.002+08:00

Today marked the 29th Olympic at Beijing. It is an auspicious for the chinese to choose this date I think because of 08.08.08, "fatt" hahaha...

I did not went to Beijing of course but being part of Asia, and chinese in a way, I feel proud for them. They have came from a long way to bring the games and the world to them. For that, good work!!! I enjoyed the opening ceremony, very impressive artwork and chereographed ceremony. Many fireworks, very grand.

I always love Olympic because it brings the world together. In the games, people from all nation and all races come together. They will compete in a fair and friendly games where it bring people together to create this harmony and peace. I always shed a tear whenever I see the games ceremony haha....

Today also marked my good friend, Karin's birthday. Having the world celebrating with you not bad huh hahahaha..... Happy Birthday !!!!! and you will be blessed and may your dreams come true. Muah...

Awaiting A Breakthrough...

2008-08-07T22:21:00.002+08:00

Today went to see the doctor for a follow up. He took out my dressings and changed a new one, barely 5 minutes and you know how much is that cost you? yes 120 bucks....no wonder our elders told us to study hard last time hahaha. 5 minutes can earn 120 bucks already, wah say....really good job.

I rest at home and I have sick leave until the end of this week. Actually, the doctor said i can have until next week. He advised to rest at home and not to move too much as my wound bled this morning. I told him cant do haha....and we are negotiating there haha. My friend already said I am crazy when I told them I was thinking of hitting the gym this week hahaha...

Well, nothing more but trying to find inspiration to update my resume. I want to give that lead position in Calgary a try. For the time being, just need to find out more about that position and see if i can get it.....keeping my finger crossed.

The Mummies...

2008-08-06T22:54:00.002+08:00

Today I went to SJMC for the surgery to remove my cyst. I drove myself there. My mum wanted to tag along and so I let her be. We arrived on the 1st floor of SJMC at the Daycare Surgery centre. The admission clerk was very honest and friendly in her own way. She told me how fierce that my doctor can be and that he never punctual. So she advised me to quickly go down to the cafeteria to buy something for my mother, just in case she might be hungry for lunch. I did as what she advised.

Then, as I am waiting, I pulled out my shin chan comic to ease my boredom, more to put a stop to the anxiety that caused by the weiling boy, of who I think is about to do a "johnny surgery" hahaha. Poor kid, the nurse fooled him into the surgery room by a large "PC" and I think he found out the "PC" was a huge monitor machine that spelt his heart beat haha.

Anyway, the nurse called my name and direct me to the locker room and asked me to strip naked. No threads she said!!. This was the time I got a second hand feeling of being a whore, except of course this whore is paying for his own strip. Obediently, I obliged to her plea and changed into this japanese looking gown that had my johnny and the boo boo covered. Just as normal procedure with the normal medical questions of history records. After all long of interrogation and waiting, I finally wheeled in to the OT room 10. Then, they removed my gown and put some sort like a blanket over and strapped me with all sort of tapes and wires. At this point, I feel myself like a pig. You know bare naked and all my feet and hands are tied up to prevent any movement. All that is moveable is my head and my eye balls. I feel myself like a poor pig, 70.5 kg (which I weight before the OT escapade), waiting to be slaughtered.

Then came the doctor with very unpleasant look. A fierce one actually. Putting his mask and he talks to his nurses like a military coups. Gosh, my imagination went wild again....this time they looked like a terrorist. I am like a terrorist victim strapped there on the table....arrrghhh, i might be chopped alive!!!. Then, the commander gave me some anasthetic, a local one of which is supposed to be making the surgical area numb. Apparently NOT!!! Because, when he took his scalpel and cut, I can feel the pain.....my goodness!!!! it was HOOOOORRRIIBBBLLEEE!!!.. I shouted and both the doctor and the nurse panic and quickly hold the bleeding and he gave me extra anasthetic. This time, I really feel like I am one of the american solider got kidnapped and tortured by the OSAMA gang. I searched high and lows for camcorders but I could not found any but a shadow from the light of my beautiful flesh cut opened.

I see how the doctor cut throughout the whole procedure as I am getting worried. Not to mentioned the pungent smell of burning my flesh with the electric rod that gave some good smoke effects. I, laughed at the wild picture that I got.....mostly funny one that I burst out a laugh or two. The nurse got curious and asked me what was it. I think I got to ease them down a bit after being scolded non-stopped by that mad doctor. After that thing was removed, the doctor explained to me what was it and we studied them together. It was an interesting lesson...I always wanted to be a doctor and this obviously interest me a bit.

Anyway, after getting a full rest, I finally headed home. Drove myself back and took a nap after watching hour long of grey's anatomy. Took a couple of pain killers like candy sounds like fun..hahaha.

Then, I went for a movie with my sis. Impressive huh....we went to the Mummy 3. Interesting one, except I like the old Eve better. Just two things that I dont understand from the movie though. One, where and how in the world that an ancient person that lives 2000 years at the hilmalayan mountains get to learn English. Secondly, if the immortal duo exchanged their "immortality" in exchange for the troops to back from the dead, shouldnt the duo be dead already? Since that the gift has been lifted and their body should then recovered back 2000 years of which is hmmmmmm rusted and out of order...but yet still very young looking and figthing kung fu !!! Well, back to the bottomline is, it is just a movie.....

I start to wonder if we ever put some reality in that movie....perhaps not a good idea. Because then Alex has to do the slow dance with a lady in her bones, skeleton, and kissed her on her skull might not be a good sight... hahahahaha

Like the title The Mummy, I actually have three mummies experience eh. Firstly, my mother Mummy, then me walking like a zombie Mummy and finally the movie The Mummy hahahaha. Thus, I titled the subject tonight as The Mummies...haha

ok time to get some drugs and go to sleep. Tomorrow, I have to drive my mum to the clinic for her checkup and I got to go back to the hospital to have the stitches examined and removed. Sometimes, I wonder what kind of patient I am hahahaha....having all this energy to do all this even when you are on medical leave!!!...
Till then...cheerio...

A year wiser...Happy Birthday Toi Toi

2008-08-04T21:11:00.005+08:00

Today is my 29th Birthday....yeah a year wiser and filled with fun hahaha....I remember as if was I just had my birthday not long ago....I remember the last one was in Amsterdam, I went to the mardi gras with my friend....so fast it was already 12 months later !!!

Today when I woke up, my phone already filled with many well wishes text and missed calls and it continued throughout the day. Gifts and meals are all free hahaha... But that was not important....what most important to me is people, my friend and family take the effort to wish me and they do remember!!!! A simple wish from you guys really touched my heart.....thanks guys!!!

I went through the youTube and found this three....so nice and cute hahahaha....Happy Birthday Toi, may the Lord continue to bless me with the great things and the great people around me. That the world will still remember to put on a smile each day......that would be my wishes.

A shopping spree Sunday...

2008-08-03T23:43:00.004+08:00

As I am preparing myself for my big day tomorrow hahaha, I thought of giving myself a treat. Just an excuse haha, the actual truth is i received a text from Zara that they are having sales this week. 70% off !!! Being a big fan of Zara, of course I cant missed that right.

So right after church, I called Chin Wei to come out for lunch. We had a quick lunch and quick catch up. Then after that, I drove to Mid-Valley for that said mission hehe. Raining heavily and I called Anne along the way. I always called her when I am driving haha to kill my boredom on the road hahaha. They have already warned me to give myself a more preserverence and control.....But me being me, it is hard la....

So when I arrived in Mid-Valley, I straight away went to Zara hahaha....I look around found several clothes...I bought two T-shirts and a jacket from them. They are not discounted items...meaning to say, it is new arrival items. So I have failed ahahaha... Total purcahse price 498 ringgit. Actually, I saw their jeans and so wanted buy and also another shoes that I wanted to try on but I didnt. Because I know the moment I put it on, it means cash out again hahaha.... In fact, that shoe is not really the type of shoes i am looking for actually but still it is nice haha. I told myself, I definitely going to come back again haha.

Then, I went to Topman because when I went to get a drink at Juice Station, that big word HALF PRICE SALES caught my attention. I thought it is safe to go into Topman because I hardly buy thier shirt. Each time I went in to their shop, it is hard for me to even grab one piece out from their shop. Just not happening with Topman but today it basically has different story haha. I thought it will be same again, nothing to buy from Topman until I saw the T-shirt, sesame street... the blue shirt with a big cookie monster. I was like OMG...MY FAVOURITE COOKIE MONSTER hahahahaha.....you know, it is harder to get cookie monster t-shirt from sesame street because normally they will print Elmo or Big bird more. I was like a kid who got a new shirt......laughing in the fitting room that I knew I cant say no to this.... I end up paying 96 ringgit for this piece of art. Yes it is non-discounted item.....new arrival.

After that, I thought why not give Espirt a shout too since they are also having a 50% sales as well. So I went in.....look see look see, i got one slim fit shirt....a bit of a pattern actually...small dots. I love it. So it tried it on, it is so perfect......of course I buy it since it is a last piece and guess what, again it is non-discounted item....new arrival. That shirt worth 199 ringgit.

I end up buying 4 pieces of shirts and a jacket....all new arrival item. I planned to get discounted items but in the end, zero on discounted and 5 on newly arrived goods hahahahaa.... Not so bad, i came back home and I got a souvenir from my sis ....she bought me a pants from Phuket...So it goes, my today's labour....

And oooh....I just realised it is now 12 midnite...it means I am already one year older today !!!! Happy Birthday Toi!!!

A Groovy Saturday Night...

2008-08-03T23:18:00.006+08:00

I partied with the ladies on friday night and reached home by 4 am. I woke up the next day at 9 am to go to SJMC for my doctor appointment. Not bad right haha, I only slept about 4 hours haha...Got pissed off in SJMC because the whole parking lot are all full and have to get valet parking instead. 10 bucks !!! I dont know why, if i pay 10 bucks for a parking during a day, I feel a bad pinch but if it is for a nite, then I am ok haha.

Anyway, I waited for hours for the doctor to came. I appointment is 10 am...i got there 10.30 but guess what the celaka doctor didnt came until 11.30. If he is not coming in that early, why the **** asked the patient to be that early to wait for his "majesty". For one thing even more curious, why would a surgeon room filled with all the flowers and gifts. My goodness, is he trying to tell me, the patient, that he is a such a lovely and a doctor that everyone loves....my gosh, the flower is almost covering the "machine that used to see x-ray film (not sure what you called those hahaha)". So the consultation only lasted about 10 minutes, 15 tops. Press a little and asked me a couple of question and trying to get me to come in on wednesday to cut it out....that is fast.

Then, you thought everything is done now.....but gosh no..you basically have to wait again for another hour or so to get your medicine and get the next appointment...my goodness!!! I would have been dead by now.

Came back from hospital, got so tired that i went to take my nap almost instantly I reached home haha. Then, during the evening I got ready for my upcoming "events" hehe

Went to get Kayce and off we head to KL. She went to Pavilion to shop and me went for our team dinner at Millenium Hotel. An International buffet in a middle eastern restaurant. The poor lady doing belly dance all night long....dancing around the restaurant. The dinner was ok...we finished almost 11 pm. The bill came to a whooping 1000++....but to shell, it is just a small fraction. Having the honour to sign the bill haha...I am always the bill settler when it came to this function. Thank God, it is not me who is paying haha....but it felt good, you basically get the feeling that you are treating them but you are not paying a single cent hahaha..

Anyway, I met up with Kayce again in Pavilion to head out to Market Place....gosh, we stucked in the jam from Market Place to the KLCC area for more than an hour with a full bladder. My goodness, I was crying foul and all those languages also came out hahaha. Then reached market place, straight away go to toilet....my goodness, such a long queue. By the time I release, i feel the greatest relief hahaha. We drank and dance and party in Market Place until around 2 am.

Then, we went to McDonalds in Subang to have a meal. Kayce buy me that meal as to celebrate my upcoming birthday hahaha which is tomorrow haha....or should i said 30 minutes from now haha.

Another great nite ......

An awesome Friday evening....

2008-08-03T22:54:00.005+08:00

On friday, Li Fang, Kayce and myself went out again. It was fun to hang out together and have jokes and drinks along....that was like a super cool weekend. People to watch, good drinks and good company...that is like my dream weekend hahaha. How I wish that every week is like what we are having...

So..we went out first to Luna bar...the first for Kayce. My first ever since their renovation. Pretty nice place, still had its nitch....below are some shots from Luna Bar. What you can asked for more, KL nite view right in front of you....hehe if they can fix an aircond to the top roof, that would even great hahaha because i am sweating profusely there..

After few hours in Luna Bar, we then proceed to go to Frangipani. As we walking from our car park to Frangi, we came across this bar Twenty-One. We then decided to go into this bar to have a drink and continue our people watching. Kenneth followed in our quest hahaha. Analysing and picking the right one for "good discussions" hahaha...

Then, almost 1 am we went across the street to Frangi and have more talks and ohhhhhhhh yes we danced !!!!! I was having a great time.....this is one thing i am going to miss soon i guess....

Thanks ladies for a wonderful night!!! We actually bar hopped three places !!!! and that is a record!!! hahahaha

Gym Anthroplogy Study....

2008-07-31T23:06:00.003+08:00

I just came back my gym an hour ago....So exhausted, tired and as if all my body parts are begining to drop piece by piece by itself haha. I went to the Fitness First gym, many members actually. I dont normally talked to anyone in the gym...just maybe a casual smile once in a while but most of the time I mind my own work out....no time to socialise haha.

Anyway, after so many months and been to several gym before, I guess something that I took noticed that might be a good topic for discussion tonight. Fashion statement, yes ladies and gentleman, workout attire is more appropriate for exercise. Expert is saying that you should wear something loose actually to let your sweat and heat flows out of your body, not to mention to ease your movement during the exercise. What humour me is to find some guys actually wear jeans....yes jeans for work out. They wear a polo T-shirt with jeans....my goodness, if i am the editor for GQ magazine, I am going to have them pose and write shit about their fashion taste in all the issue that GQ can produced haha. I mean for god sake, you are not going for shopping spree or a date....

Then of course some ladies, even wear make up. Dont they know that during exercise, you tend to perspire? and sweat will cause your make up to melt. Can you imagine, sweat with your make up and your eye liner is about to fade....you looks like a ghost in "the Ring" hahaha.
Guys, cap is not for gym because there is no sun!!!! I cant stand looking at it....a cap during workout...my goodness, god knows how the cap smells like....

Then, of course you can see people etique. Some work with their best confidence because they think they are at their best. Do you know that almost 90% of all people, after their workout, they feel good about themselves? Some is really over the top....walking proudly with their nose held high.......even though they are overweight and "facially challenged"..... Then, you can see some standing in front of the mirror more often than lifting the weight.....gosh, did he or she knows that she can do that at home hahaha. And most of the guys are acting like macho and showing off their six packs and big arms and stuff.....

So many funny thing you can see in the gym actually......and some people really like to be an exhibitionist. Just yesterday after my work out, i was in the locker room...going for my shower. There is this guy, fully naked walking around the locker room as if he is at home. My gosh, eh...nobody want to see your johnny la hahahaha......and the most funny thing is, he posed in his underwear as if he is some sort like a model...my goodness.. really salute this sort of people that can have such a thick skin hahaha.

Sigh, sometimes it does give you a good laugh and I guess that is why it makes a gym fun.....

My new CKJ Scarf....Fabulous y'all hahaha

2008-07-27T23:19:00.002+08:00

I went for my facial today. Dozed off totally during the session....in my deep sleep haha. Well, can understand by the fact that I only slept three hours yesternight after clubbing hard at Market Place. Was a good session to chat with friends......very packed cannot dance, not so happy though hahaha. Need to shake my booty hehe.

Anyway, so as normal, I will get my fruit juice @ Juice Station - my favourite Spring Clean haha. Then I thought to myself, so early why not walk around first and finish the drink. I did, I walked around and stopped right in front of this band singing in front of Asam Pedas (a restaurant owned by Royale Bintang), in case you guys wonder where am I....The curve la haha. Very good this band, they have a very harmonious voice hahaha I like it.

I then thought to myself....hey why not take a picture.....so I did a couple of shot and realised that I am holding this empty cup....so troublesome, so i walked away to look for thrash can to throw that cup away so that I can take another few more shots. As I am walking back to the spot, I passed by Calvin Klein shop..... *drum roll* pls...hahaha The mannequin in their display window is wearing this scalf...a black colour knited scalf....

So I went in and have a look and try to put it on.....I am hooked!!!! It reminds me of the Agnes B scalf that Gary gave to me last time. Feeling so guilty that I lost it in the train in Amsterdam, I thought I can helped to redeem it hahaha after all my birthday is coming soon, I need a gift for myself. Ok ok ok,,,,that are all excuses....why I dont bother hahaha... So I asked the lady to wrap it up, I almost got a shocked when the register is blinking RM209 hahahaha... *tekan* have to pay la.....hahahaha but no regret..

Here it is......my favourite CKJ Scarf.

A Winding Down Night Out...

2008-07-27T22:54:00.004+08:00

Last Friday, not the 13th haha....three of us - Kayce, Li Fang and myself went to Soul'ed Out for dinner and then we went to Skybar and Frangipani...

Was really having fun and we should we do it again ladies!!!! The picture said the most...we indeed have fun !!!

My Wish List....

2008-07-20T22:19:00.003+08:00

I always thought if i can wrote down my wish list and record them for Christmas, that list would sure be grown into a big one...haha..too long for Santa to handle haha...

I want so many things....not because I am greedy but my curiosity over things and wanted to try many things.... Now, as my passion grew for photography, I am so wanted to have a SLR camera. I read a magazine today and I am so marvel at the whole camera that I almost wished that I have a superpower to make that image a real one hahaha... too many "Heroes" episodes. I always like photography but never really own a camera until now. Even that I considered it to be a "toy" haha not a real tools. It is too expensive to own one... Previously, I always used my hand to capture the image.....of course this images are not something digital or filmsy....it only by brainwave away from my hand.... I would just hold up my hand to make a frame and imagine if i had a camera, this angle would be good. I did that a lot, I guess in a way it also trained me to look at things at different angle.

Until I make a fortune, at least after my migration is fulfilled, this camera is always a wish list i guess hahaha...I need a SLR!!!

The camera that I wish I can own....

Dreamers...

2008-07-17T20:46:00.002+08:00

Recently I have dreamt quite a bit. Normally I dont dream, it is hard for me to have a dream in my sleep. But for the past two nights, I have humour dream....its hilarious.

Tuesday night I dreamt about a friend of which I dont even knew her....went to her place for some sort like a party. Pull some trick on her and at the end of it that tricks fall on myself haha...it was silly dream; something that actually reminds of our school days haha.

Then yesterday night, I dreamt that I am going for holiday in Japan with Anne and Amanda. Three of us walking in the street of tokyo, very crowded...full of people. In the middle of steet, we hold hands and buildings are all gleams with lights.... The weird thing is I dont fancy Japan at all....maybe they have talk to me too much to go for that japanese holiday that I finally have a dream in my sleep hahahaha. But it seems three of us are having fun. It already been a while that we three actually go for a holiday. In fact, we dont ..... we never have a trip that three of us go together....hey let's make it happen la.

Me just had my dinner....yeah at almost 9 pm....at my desk, in the office. Too busy today.....not really motivated for work actually lately. Kinda think of changing job. Need to seek an oversea job.....keep my head high and my finger crossed...

Ssshh....Silent Night @ Office

2008-07-16T21:03:00.003+08:00

This week have to work in the office on european hours. What does that mean? It meant no party hours and no night events across a week....

Today, very quiet in the office. I can hear clearly the sound of every key strokes on our keyboards. Even a whisper, sounds like an amplified echo....ok, I am a bit exaggerating but you get the idea haha. I am so bored !!!! Maybe that was the reason why I am writing this piece here....

I am planning to go for my english test. Got to sit for the General Training IELTS test for my migration. I have to proof myself to be speaking good queen's english hahaha...ok maybe not the queen's english, just the peasant who speaks nothing more than a good bargain of vegetables and meat hahaha.. I have to score at least 7.0 for all sections - Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. You know what, I hate exams !!!! I always do but who the hell in this world actually loves them?

I mean my gosh, how can you tell someone is that competent or good in just a few pieces of papers or within that one or two hours of strenous tests. Sometimes people flunked the whole exam not because they are dumb or incompetent because of the whole stress that they are going through. The look of the examiner is enough to scared them to death, let alone to do the test. Maybe someone just need to change the system....maybe I am just frustrated to have the idea of going through exam again. My last exam was five years ago!!!! Gosh, I almost forgot how it feels like...

Just keeping my finger crossed that I would able to scored 7.0, otherwise I am screwed!!! But wait a minute, the exam would not even happened until I am ready.....so exactly when am I ready? hmmmmmmm.....

My new Club Monaco bag....

2008-07-14T09:49:00.003+08:00

Bought this bag during the weekend for my travel later to australia hahaha..... Club Monaco is having their mid-year sales and I fell in love with this bag the moment I saw it. It is perfect for my trip to australia later...ok ok, some of you think I am irrational to get the bag which cost me half a thousand, but of course I can use more than once, even after the whole trip right. The best is that I am happy with it :oP

Afterall, it is the money from the fuel rebate hahaha....so thanks to the government, I got the bag. :oP

Interesting Fact on Petrol Hike...

2008-06-23T20:13:00.002+08:00

Today I received this at work from Cecily.....an email forward of which i find it so true .... Below is the excerpt.

Malaysian PerCapita Income USD 5000 VS
Singaporean PerCapita Income USD 25000

Further The Star made a comparison of prices in Thailand , Singapore andIndonesia .
For Thailand it is quoted at RM3.90/liter, however are they aware that in Thailand new cars are cheaper than Malaysia by RM10,000? They pay only one life time for their driving license? No renewal fee after that? Also that goes for road tax as well? And do TheStar also aware that you can drive all the way from Hadtyai to Bangkok on a six lane highway without paying any Tolls ??!!

Whereas here in Malaysia you have to pay yearly renewal for road tax ,driving license and TOLLS, TOLLS, TOLLS!!!For Singapore how can you quote RM 5.20 ? Please quote in SingaporeDollars because they are earning in Sing Dollars. You might as well say Europeans are paying RM10/liter. RM5.20/liter = Sing $ 2.20/liter, still cheaper than Malaysia in view of fact that Singapore is not a crude oilexporter. Are you saying that you fill up petrol in Singapore by paying Ringgit?

In economy, dollar to dollar must be compared as apple to apple. Not comparing like durian in Malaysia is much cheaper than durian in Japan!! Of course-lah, Japan is not durian producer!!! Comparing Malaysian durian with Thailand durian make more sense!!

For Indonesia we might say is cheaper there at RM2.07/liter but compare that to their level of income! Now, let us compare the price with OIL PRODUCING countries: UAE RM1.19/litre Eygpt RM1.03/litre Bahrain RM0.87/litre Qatar RM0.68/litre Kuwait RM0.67/litre Saudi Arabia RM0.38/litre Iran RM0.35/litre Nigeria RM0.32/litre Turkmenistan RM0.25/litre Venezuela RM0.16/litre
MALAYSIA RM2.70/litreRM 2.70!!!

Individual perspective:As of last month a Toyota Vios would 'cause a damage' of about RM 89,000.In the international market, a Toyota Vios is about USD 19,000USD 19,000 = RM 62,700 (using the indicative rates of USD 1 = RM 3.30)That makes Malaysian Vios owners pay an extra RM 26,300.

This RM 26,300 should be cost of operations, profit and tax because the transportation costs have been factored in to the USD 19,000.RM 26,300/ RM625 petrol rebate per year translates to a Vios being used for 42.08 years.

I do understand that the RM 625 is a rebate given by the government, but it also means that one has to use the Vios for 42.08 years just to make back the amount paid in taxes for the usage of a foreign car. Would anyone use any kind of car for that long?

Now with these numbers in front of us, does the subsidy sound like a subsidy or does it sound like a penalty? This just seems to be a heavy increment in our daily cost of living as we are not only charged with high car taxes but also with a drastic increase in fuel price.

With all the numbers listed out, Let's analyze the situation further.

Car taxation is government profit, fuel sales is Petronas' (GLC) profit which also translates into government profit. The government may ridicule us Malaysians by saying look at the world market and fuel price worldwide. Please, we are Malaysians, we fought of the British, had a international port in the early centuries (Malacca), home to a racially mixed nation and WE ARE NOT STUPID!!!

We know the international rates are above the USD 130/barrel. We understand the fact that the fuel prices are increasing worldwide and we also know that major scientist are still contradicting on why this phenomenon is happening. Some blame Bush and his plunders around the world and some blame climate change and there are others which say petroleum'wells' are getting scarce.
Again we go back to numbers to be more straight forward.

1 barrel = 159 liters x RM2.70/liter = RM 429 or USD 134
On 1 hand, we are paying the full cost of 1 barrel of crude oil withRM2.70 per liter but on the other hand the crude oil only produces 46% of fuel.

Malaysia sells crude oil per barrel at USD130 buys back Fuel per barrel at USD134. And not forgetting, every barrel of fuel is produced with 2barrels of crude oil.
1 barrel crude oil = produce 46% fuel (or half of crude oil), therefore
2 barrel crude oil = approximately 1 barrel fuel
In other words, each time we sell 2 barrels of crude oil, equivalently we will buy back 1 barrel of fuel. Financially,
Malaysia sell 2 barrel crude oil @ USD 130/barrel = USD 260 = RM 858 then,
Malaysia will buy back fuel @ USD 134/barrel = RM 442/barrel
Thus, Malaysia earn net extra USD 126 = RM 416 for each 2 barrel of crude sold/exported vs imported 1 barrel of fuel !!! (USD 260-134 = USD 126 = RM416)

So where this extra USD 126/barrel income is channeled to by Malaysian Government??????

Another analysis:
1 barrel crude oil = 159 liters.
46-47% of a barrel of crude oil = fuel that we use in our vehicles.
46% of 159 = 73.14 liters.
@ RM 2.70/liter x 73.14 liter = RM 197.48 of fuel per barrel of crude oil.
This is only 46% of the barrel, mind you. Using RM 3.30 = USD 1, we get that a barrel of crude oil produces USD 59.84 worth of petrol fuel (46% of 1barrel). USD 59.84 of USD 130/barrel turns out to be 46% of a barrel as well.

Another 54% = bitumen, kerosene, and natural gases and so many more. And this makes a balance of USD 70.16 that has not been accounted for.

So this is where I got curious. Where is the subsidy if we are paying 46% of the price of a barrel of crude oil when the production of petrol/barrel of crude oil is still only 46%?

In actual fact, we still pay for this as they are charged in the forms of fuel surcharge by airlines and road taxes for the building of road (because they use the tar/bitumen) and many more excuse charging us butlet us just leave all that out of our calculations.

As far as I know, only the politicians who live in Putrajaya and come for their Parliament meetings in Kuala Lumpur (approximately 60+ km) are the ones to gain as they claim their fuel and toll charges from the money of the RAKYAT's TAX.

It is so disappointing to see this happen time and time again to theMalaysian public, where they are deceived by the propaganda held by the politicians and the controls they have over the press.

Which stupid idiot economist equates rebates for rich or poor with the cc of the vehicles? An average office clerk may own a second hand 1300cc proton Iswara costing $7,000 (rebate = $625) while the Datuk's children can own a fleet of 10 new cars of BMW, Audi and Volvo all less than 2000cc costing $2 millions and get a total rebate of $625 x 10 = $6,250! Wow what kind of economists we are keeping in Malaysia....wonder which phD certificate that they bought from...

Misleading concept of Subsidy:
The word 'subsidy' has been brandished by the BN government as if it has so generously helped the rakyat and in doing so incurred losses. This simple example will help to explain the fallacy:

Example: Ahmad is a fisherman. He sells a fish to you at $10 which is below the market value of $15. Let's assume that he caught the fish from the abundance of the sea at little or no cost. Ahmad claims that since the market value of the fish is $15 and he sold you the fish for $10, he had subsidised you $5 and therefore made a loss of $5.

Question : Did Ahmad actually make a profit of $10 or loss of $5 which he claimed is the subsidy?

Answer: Ahmad makes a profit of $10 which is the difference of the selling price($10) minus the cost price ($0 since the fish was caught from the abundance of the sea). There is no subsidy as claimed by Ahmad.

The BN government claims that it is a subsidy because the oil is kept and treated as somebody else's property (you know who). By right, the oil belongs to all citizens of the country and the government is a trustee for the citizens. So as in the above simple example, the BN government cannot claim that it has subsidised the citizen!

The below article was extracted from The Sun on Wednesday dated 19th June 2008. The article is a letter written by one of the readers. The surname so coincidentally same with mine but it is not me hahaha...... But I shared his opinion which previously I wrote about in my blog.

Discovery....

2008-06-18T12:23:00.004+08:00

I find this phrase interesting. It was taken from the christian calender that my friend gave to me when I left Australia for good, five years ago. I put that calender in my work desk every day. Today this particular phrase caught my attention deepest...

"You do not have to pay the price to grow and expand intellectually. The mind neither requires it nor demands it. If, however, you want to experience the joy of discovery, effort is required. Light wont automatically shine upon you, nor will truth silently seep into your head. Its up to you.

If the splendor of the stars is worth sitting outside in the dark, the joy of fresh discovery is worth sitting inside in the light."

I guess I do need to put more confident in myself.....to engage the discovery that I always been dreamt of. To take the first step to experience of how far my life can bring me......I should now put in more effort in building that faith and confidence to brave through this storm of discovery from my comfort zone....

Happy Father's Day...

2008-06-15T22:58:00.003+08:00

Today is the father's day. It reminds me of my Dad. Time really flies.....it already been three years since my dad passed away. Dad, I miss you so much....

Today, I recalled many things since when I was small and all the time spent with my Dad. All the good memories came back, like how I would sometimes "bully" him and joke him hehehe....and some of the time he will shared with me his past experiences, and of course how he made those funny faces when he has to do something or take something that he doesnt like....

This father's day....it reminds me of this song. Father and Son...and so i searched in YouTube and found it. The original version from Cat Stevens...

Happy Father's Day Dad....I would continue to make you proud.

Watched this movie with Chris when I was in Holland....

Instantly it became one of my favourite and the song....I love it so much.

This is the moment when Alex and Sophie are making the demo for their song " Way Back Into Love", and then it's accepted by the superstar Cora!
In the movie, the song is cut, so I overlaid the real song from the soundtrack I bought that's why there's an accoustic effect!!
I totally love this song

A Gathering Day...

2008-06-07T23:47:00.006+08:00

My gosh...lately is not really good days for me. I felt sick again with my tummy....or maybe I should said, it never got better. I hate it !!! You know there is one point of the year where you would always be in this sort of situation.....I would be so healthy for a year long and at point of time, i will be badly sick. That is the time, you will feel so vulnerable, weak and fragile.

Despite my tummy, I went to Kelly's wedding. Dont want to break my promise at the very last minute....A gentleman word hahaha. I hardly ate anything because I dont carry my apptetite with me. Ok...time to go to bed, tomorrow need to be in church early for duty.

Okie..that is it...kudos!!

Tits for Tats....

2008-06-05T23:20:00.002+08:00

Everyone is still talking about the fuel price...a hot topic among Malaysian. Everywhere you go, people start to make fun of the current fuel hike. Then today read the paper, which stated that there would be an annual rebate of RM625. Now I am not sure how should i react to that. Should I be happy to hear that or relief ? Because I have neither one of those. I am not being such a pain...if you do the math correctly, this rebate roughly around 1 percent. Then I start to ask, what is the logic behind this rebate then....how can it helped to reduce the burden by 50 ringgit a month? Yeah that is right, so that you can use that 50 ringgit to the new hike in electricity.

Why all the time when we did a comparison, it will always be compared to the non-relevant parties? Like our economy....to show how good we are, they would compare with cambodia, indonesia, or other third world country. Why then we did not compare to Singapore, China, vietnam or any other countries? The statistic collected by that logic did not really show how "good" we are but just how lucky that this year did not fallen into a third world country category. Take this fuel hike for an example. "We are still among the cheapest in Asia"....that statement would definitely tells me that we are comparing again to a wrong group. Why an oil producing country be compared to a non-oil producing country? We should be compared to an oil producing countries....Interestingly, I found this actual statistic

UAE - RM1.19/litre
Eygpt - RM1.03/litre
Bahrain - RM0.87/litre
Qatar - RM0.68/litre
Kuwait - RM0.67/litre
Saudi Arabia - RM0.38/litre
Iran - RM0.35/litre
Brunei - RM1.10/litre
Nigeria - RM0.32/litre
Turkmenistan - RM0.25/litre
Venezuela - RM0.16/litre
MALAYSIA - RM2.70/litre

Ohh there we go...We are the highest in the oil producing group..... You do the judgement then.

Needless to speak and needless to say much. Numbers dont lie.....but people do.

Cheers.

Petrol price...up again

2008-06-04T21:48:00.002+08:00

Not feeling well today....whole body ache and feeling feverish. The last time i think i had fever was last year....very long already. I skipped gym today and just rest....I think I needed a lot of rest. Lately, I find myself so tired and exhausted...just could not stop feeling tired...two days durinng the weekend not good enough i guess or did i ever rest ? hahaha

Today the news finally arrived....yes petrol price would go up because our government make a stand to not subsidised the petrol. It went up to RM 2.70 per litre now. That is a lot!!!! considering i am driving a kenari car, I have to pay close to 50% of increased in petrol prices. What is more, it is speculated that in august, it will went up to RM4 per litre. I start to wonder to cycle to work.....but then I might end up a dead man in the office later hahaha. The distance from my home to the office is 48KM...yeah and no public transport!!!!

Govt said that we still have the cheapest fuel price in Asia....but in Asia, how many of this countries actually have oil reserves at their own backyard? The number is rather limited. Then we should not compared with those countries because they are importing !!!! of course their price would be higher. We in Malaysia have 2 to 3 oil reserves, and yet we have to buy at market price.....you know it is like asking the son of a farmer to pay what is the market price of the fruits he reaps. By right, we should be having a lower price than anywhere else in Asia. Sweden without any oil reserves are paying RM6 per litre. But Sweden imported the oil...and so understood that the purchasing price would defintely gave way to the hike. But then if we have in august RM4 per litre....that is a real joke for a place where we owned oil ourselves.

I find it rather dissapointed and angry in a way. We have this tax on our cars which we pay more than anywhere else in Asia country and then we have this fuel price that is also according to market price....i find the govt is bullying us more than helping us. A kenari in Malaysia actually worth a Honda in Thailand....why? Because Thailand do not have the "duty" that they have to pay. If the govt is removing the fuel subsidy of the market price then they should also remove the tax on car sales, to exercise what they preached. I dont even want to go with the highway toll......if you want to compare with other countries....no need to look far, take Thailand for example. Free excess of their six lane highway!!! Not a single cents required to use this highway. We have to pay for our highway that is flooded!!!!

With this fuel increase, soon there will be more to come.....foods, basic commodity, transport, toll and others would follow suit. At the end of it, you would have the highest inflation in the region....May the Lord bless us then....

Suddenly I feel myself so right about my migration plan. Of course living overseas would also subjected to the fuel hike, but at least I have a good inter-connected public transport that is convenient and safe to use. At least their food is not that expensive...take Singapore for example, you still can get a bowl of noodles for SGD 2. Here a bowl of noodles of the same size cause you at least RM 3.50. That is inflation and standard of living.... I am not comparing currency but value for value with the assumption you earn the local currency.

Ok time to go to sleep now....

PS: Today saw a few petrol station running out petrol and closed. Cars are lining up to the station row by row causing massive jam.....This sort of scene can only be happening during petrol price increase hahaha

Countdown to Bali : 30 days

2008-06-02T23:48:00.004+08:00

30 days to go for my Bali trip....couldnt wait already. So wish that it is already happening haha. Anne is rather too excited that she already planned on her annual leave during that trip. I have not taken yet....not sure if I want to .....but then again, I deserved a good break after 8 months of working non-stop.

I wonder how is it like in Bali. Everyone is basically telling me that it is a nice place of which I think I would love it since I am a beach person. Three bitches on the prowl at the beach hahaha... Never mind if you dont get it, I am just being silly. After hearing from Jesse, it makes me think twice again about the security in Bali.....haha. I dont like to be harrassed, definitely when people drag me to do stuff or buy stuff....I have a really short fuse in that area. I think it is not only me, Anne even went all out to ask us to buy extra travel insurance hahahaha....At first, I kinda refused but after giving it a second thought and hearing from this people comments, I just dont want to take chances hahaha. Well, it is better to play safe than sorry since all of us are first timer to Bali.

Fret not...for i am there to enjoy every single moment of it !!!!! Let's boogie!!!!

Flash flash....

2008-06-01T23:11:00.007+08:00

Yesterday slept too late...today I almost couldnt make it to church. Well I did, only to find myself trying hard to stay awake haha.

Later after church, went to have lunch and then went to Low Yatt. I bought a new camera today yay...I actually want to buy Nikon slr but then I thought again, maybe it is not a good time for me to get one. For one thing, I am not good yet in photography and secondly, what if I found myself do not really into it as much as I should hahaha. So i end up in getting a compact camera. The sales person recommended Olympus. I used Olympus before and I am quite comfortable with their camera. So I bought the one with the 7x Optical zoom hehe.
Thank God i brought my sister along with me. She is so good at bargaining. I never been good in that area. Always I find exhausting and mind boggling to keep negotiate on the price. So most of the time, I always brought someone with me to do the dirty job for me hahaha. Pretty good, the whole price MYR 1140 and I got myself this camera, with 2GB Olympus XD card, 4GB xD Kingston, a bag and two chargeable batteries. Cheaper than the most the shops actually where they are selling 1199 with only free on the 2GB Olympus card. In a way i am happy. Now I am ready to go for my holiday. I think I will start snapping already this coming week haha.

Just now went to see "Superhero" with Nigel, my nephew. A comedy that used all the comic movie....something like they did before with the horror movie. Anyway, I find this comedy is very dry and only one hour show. Very short and the jokes are all so lame hahaha. Feel wasted my money and time for that movie. So dont go for it.

Ok so tired now....time to hit the bed. See ya!!

Casino...a place you win or lose....

2008-06-01T03:45:00.003+08:00

I went for my facial today (Saturday), did the rejunevating treatment. I feel myself rejunevating from my wallet rather from my face hahahaha.....but anyway it worth a try. It does glow if i took a picture.

After my facial, I went for a dinner with my family. We went all the way up to Genting just to have our dinner. We had steamboat at Genting Permai. The soup is a prawn soup, not the usual chicken stock soup. A bit different but like always after I took steamboat, I definitely have to take supper hahaha...

Got pursuaded by my sister to buy the facial mask, the negative ion material....Well just see how good it is going to do for me.. I dont believe in direct selling or its product because there is always a side effect on their stuff. Anyway will see. The great moment of the dinner is when my sister and brother in law shared with us some of the malay jokes...

1. "Dalam dunia ini...binatang apakah yang paling kedekut"? ~ Kuda kerana bila dia berlari "kedekut kedekut" hahaha

2. "Dalam duina ini....binatang apakah yang paling seksi"? ~ Zebra...because ia memakai zip di bra hahaha

3. "Apaka kereta di dunia ini, tidak dipanggil kereta"? ~ taxi

4, "Sekiranya terdapat suatu kemalangan....drebar dan kereta semuanya sudah mati, tapi apakah yang tidak mati"? ~ road tax hahaha

After the dinner, we went to the Star World casino at First World Hotel. My god, I almost suffocated myself in there....so smokey, stench smell of smokes and bad ventilation. I went around tables to tables to see the game. I dont gamble because I do not have any interest in that sort of game. And see many people in the casino...full. Some looked cheerful but most of them looks like either they want to kill themselves or they wish to kill others. Very fierce looking and some look so sad. I told my sister...my goodness, it looks like loan shark business area.

How can the owner cannot be a millionnaire? The casino opened 24 hours a day.....hundred thousands or so people came in within that hours and spend maybe 1000 ringgit per pax (i am talking about average). You basically just need 10k people to come in a day to have a million. I see many money presented on the tables and over the counter. I started to ask myself....they put before them thousand of their hard earned money, how much did they expect to get in return? My answer to them is NIL. Because based on possibility wise, the moment you started the game....you have already lost 70%. This is not based on my opinion, it is based on some researched study in mathematical analysis of gambling. Meaning to say, you have only 30% of return if you are lucky. That could explain why the shark loan could easily make their business in the casino. I went around tables to tables, from one end to the other.....each table is always the banker will win more than the player, that is 1% for player and 99% for banker.

Sooo the wisest thing to do is to resists gambling. Of course many people would said it is just a game to release stress. For me, gambling is a big NO NO. I hate it and I dont agreed with anyone even to use gambling as a leisure. It is just not the type of thing I would have in mind.

Ok enough said.....got to sleep now. Cheerio.

p/s: Our new maid has finally arrived....oops our domestic helper. Finally, no more house chores....not that I did it all this while hahaha I am a spoilt brat!!!

Hillsongs United Concert Live in Malaysia 2008..

2008-05-29T00:55:00.001+08:00

Today...Wednesday 28th May, I came back late hahaha... so that is why wrong date shown above. I went to Hillsongs United concert in Glad Tidings PJ with Chin Wei and Jueli. I have such a thrill time there.

I always have fun in christian concert because people come together very united and serving one purpose where no one will care how you act or how you sing.....we just there for one purpose and that is for Jesus. Praising and worshipping Him.....it just brings me to this dimension. A closer connection with my Creator. A time where I just want to tell Him how grateful and thankful I am for all He blessed me with. To tell Him that I am there to fight a good cause for Him....to be ready to serve.

Christ has been my source of strength along this years for all the things I went through. From the time I lost hope in my future to the time where I almost meet death..... I found hope and light at the darkest hour of my life. The same light never leave me ever since I commited to stand by it 12 years ago.

Okie I am not a pastor and I am not here to preach....haha. I let Joel did the preaching. Will share with you one of the song in the concert. And check out the photo here....nice rite. I love it. It is all about LOVE.....

ill then time to sleep....cheers!!!

Its a "Cheesey" Day....

2008-05-27T19:55:00.003+08:00

No idea of what title for today..... I started my Tuesday with a tummy upset that I have two weeks ago...Yeah not sure if I wrote about it here. I was with my family having our mother's day dinner at this Italian restaurant. Normally I am very careful but not sure why on that night, I am so hopefully careless. I ordered spicy olio....maybe because I normally had spicy olio without cheese in Dome. Such a long time I did not have pasta, so I thought I want to have it on that night. They put cheese in that pasta without my knowledge!! and I forgot to tell them as well. I finished the whole plate and just realised what the hell those small little thingy that still on the plate.....then i realised shitttttt there are cheese in there !!!.

For your information, I am allergic to dairy products. Yes that is right, I cant take raw cheese or any dairy products without cooked. I dont think it is because of lactose intolerance but those who have LI, they normally cant take dairy at all. Me, I can take as long as it is fully cooked. I used to have heavy "business deals" when I just took a gulp for milk and a bite on the bread with cheese. Yeah...thanks to the cheese, I have a "memorable" day indeed haha.

Well, today I also discovered one thing. I thought I have lost my American Green Card Lottery last few months. This morning as I read in the newspaper about the Green Card scam and something told me to go ahead and visit the website. No I did not won nor I got cheated, but I found out that I actually still in the running of the lottery hahaha of which this end of the year I will know whether I win or lose. My mind has already told myself that I have lost in that program haha, so lets see if my application will go to Jalan Tun Abdul Razak (America Embassy) or Jalan Ampang (Canada high comm).

Superheroes...

2008-05-26T01:28:00.004+08:00

Tonight I went to see Iron Man alone, midnight show haha. It is pretty nice sometimes to go for movie alone. I enjoyed comic or rather superheroes movie....it is fun. I guess that "kid" inside me still do not want to grow up haha.

And so after the show, I suddenly got the inspiration to write something about the suit of superheroes. Every superhero other than acquiring the wonderful/powerful skill, they too invent their own suit. Something to uniquely identify them. So tonight, I would be writing my thoughts.....well lets called it Toi's superheroes fashion night haha where the awards are presented.

***********************************************************
1. Best Technological Superhero Suit - Iron Man (seriously, with all the high tech in that suit...my god!!)

2. Best Sexy Superhero Suit - non other than Wonder Woman (no one can fight that..really) haha

3. Best Flashy Superhero Suit - Superman (who else can beat him running / flying around with his underwear haha.... Maybe Calvin Klein can make a sponsor)

4. Best Painful Superhero Suit - Wolverine (this guy need to savour pain to get the metal in his hand in the first place and then each time to get it out....woosh, out came the steal...here comes the pain. But i always wonder how can he not felt anything....maybe on pain killers hahaha)

5. Best Colours in a Superhero Suit - Spiderman (I like the colours to spiderman suit...it blends in very well)

6. Best material in a Superhero Suit - Incredible Hulk (come on, you have to agree with this one....when Hulk came into action, all the clothes are torn except the pants hahaha did you noticed that? yeah the pants stay and amazingly it goes to back to the original size after he became normal again. I really wonder what sort of material he used haha so expandable)

7. Best family themed Superhero suit - The Incredibles (good uniform for the family...even the baby got one)

8. Best mould in a Superhero Suit - Batman (yeah...basically it just make that "place" bigger haha)

9. Best Fashion for a Superhero - Gambit from X-Men (hey, this guy got style...especially the coat...so love the coat)

10. Best Superhero Suit that you wish to have - Spiderman (even my nephew wear it to sleep hahaha)

***********************************************************

Now the hall of shame for the Superhero fashion

1. Most uncomfortable Superhero Suit - Superman (hey this guy have to wear that suit all the time...yeah even to work...imagine yourself wearing that hero suit, then your business suit to work...its ok for winter as it keeps warm but summer...my god bless his soul hahaha. Not to mention you have to bring extra underwear all the time, wherever you go hahaha)

2. Most troublesome to put it on - Iron Man (who can fight this guy....He basically needs machines to get him into that suit of his haha)

3. Worst Colour in Superhero Suit - Kamen Rider (out of the place....green with black...ewww)

4. Worst Suit for a duo/trio or a group - Batman & Robin (this is the only collaboration without an uniform)

5. The suit that you wish you never put it on - Flash Man and The Phantom (the thing is their suit is too simple for a superhero and the colours are hmmmmmmm too plain....But i like the ring from the Phantom)

***********************************************************

Ohhh it is late now....got to go to sleep....hehe

Till then...keep save and be save....cheers

Opportunity

2008-05-23T23:17:00.001+08:00

Work is now getting more and more stressful now...Getting my handsfull...but it is just mean opportunity arise.

Today I want to talk about opportunity. I so drawn by this song by Pete Murray. I will share the lyrics later at the bottom but basically it just said dont wait too long or take too long to think when the opportunity arise.

I guess for me, I am really waiting for my opportunity to come. Patiently I am waiting for something that I did not know when or what it is that opportunity but deep in my conscious I know that something that Ive been waited would come...and when it comes, I will grab it.

Then I see my life that fills hope and dreams. Oppportunities comes to those who hope and dreams hehe...

So here it is
Pete Murray's Opportunity.
---------------------------
And so it goes another lonely day
Your savin time but your miles away
Your fly was drownin in some bitter tea
For seeing lost opportunity

Find your mirror go and look inside
And see the talent you always hide
Don't go kidd yourself well not today
Satisfaction's not to far away

Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see

Soon you'll see

Your coffee's warm but your milk is sour
Life is short but your here to flower
Dream yourself along another day
Never miss opportunity

Don't be scared of what you cannot see
Your only fear is possibility
Never wonder what the hell went wrong
Your second chance may never come along

Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see

Soon you'll see

Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see

Soon you'll see

Toi's Experimental Shots III

2008-05-20T21:34:00.007+08:00

And the album continues...The Cruxificion at the Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic. There are many statues of this sort that mark the life of Jesus.

This is one of the high churches in Prague. This church is I think at the Parliament Square. Very unique design isnt it?

This is the stairway at the Castle that we are visiting, which is at suburban of Prague. Imagine the stairway during dark....scary right hahaThe view is taken from the Castle. The village resides along the hill slope. I feel so royalty now haha.The castle, the resident of King "not sure who" hahaha.Needless to introduce, Yes the Eiffel Tower. Such a long queue when I was there..so I just took it from the ground haha.

The bottom up Eiffel Tower.

I love this shot of the Tower. It looks like a postcard hehe. I was playing around with my camera and then boom...this shot haha.

This is the Notre Dame shot. They closes the entrance to the church during my visit because of Easter. I thought I can meet Quasimodo (am i right?) :oPThis is Arc de Triomphe, the entry point to Champs Elysees. The arc is all about Napoleon...You can actually climb this arc...yeap no kidding...The entrance to Lourve Museum in Paris. Can you recall which movie..? yes, Da Vinci Code. The Holy Grail is just right underneath haha.

This fountain was opposite of the Lourve museum park in Paris. Nice isnt it hehe.

This is a church not a mosque haha. I cant remember what is the name of this place. It is away from the Paris city...need to climb a lot!!!This shot is at Rotterdam city when I wandered around with my colleague...both of us did not have a clue where are we at that time haha. Funny enough I found this "thing", you know that it is not a tree but a wood/metal as part of an art haha.A chess set in the Cubus residential area. The houses here are all in cubus shape....yeah very unique. Rotterdam city is where it is.

I took this shot during my canal ride in Utrecht. They called Utrecht to be the mini-Amsterdam haha. I lie this shot....it gives me this serenity.

This is the Dome tower, the landmark of Utrecht. Everywhere you go in the city you will be able to see the tower. A catholic church in Utrecht. Like the shadow and the angle.

The square in Stockholm. They are changing guards when I was there. But with this angle (I purposely did not want to take the front), it looked like some part of the greek colleseum rite.Introducing Stockholm City, ladies and gentleman....hehe

Stockholm city from another angle. I took this picture on our way to the tower...

And as a dessert for you after going through many of my experimental shots, take scoops of Sweedish gelato hahaha.....my souvenir to you haha.

All photos produced in this blog are strictly belongs to me. Any publication or re-used of this materials should therefore be consented by me. Cheh wah....sounds like a real deal hor haha.

Toi's Experimental Shots II

2008-05-19T22:06:00.007+08:00

To continue with the picture I took as promised.

Took this shot when I went to the Muka Head trial in Penang. I took this picture during our boat trip back to the jetty. Immediately got the urge to take it haha.

The wooden bridge that leads to the boat. Penang island.

I was in the tour bus in Amsterdam and then I noticed this scene when the bus stopped for traffic hahaha. I immediately took my camera and stick near to the window and snapped.

Yes...the red light district area of Amsterdam....Look at how busy it is hehe.

The lovely swan in Delft. Lovey dovey....

An unique building in Delft.

Happy children enjoying their food in the marathon in Den Haag.

Swarm of marathon contestants in Den Haag annual event. My first weekend in the city.

The park opposite my hotel in Den Haag.

The busy street of Rijswijk at night view.

I cannot remember the name of this place. It was the parliament of Netherlands, the square near the plein in Den Haag. Took this photo during my walk around the city.

I was walking around after my dinner and saw this view....I couldnt stand not taking it, then I realised that I left my camera in my hotel. I have to walk all the way back to my hotel and got my camera to get this shot hehe. The one below is another effect that i took. This is the parliament in Den Haag.

Parliament of Netherlands, Den Haag. Looks like a real postcard isnt it haha.

I took this picture during my dinner at the Plein, Den Haag. This building is just right in front of my table.

Another shot of the restaurant I am eating my dinner in the Plein haha.Took this shot at Keukenhof. Very nice concept.The famous dutch windmill at keukenhof. With garden setting, this picture makes it perfect shot.

Annoucing my favourite shot. The red tulips from the bottom angle in Keukenhof. Same technique for White Tulips but the effect is different. The tulips are as if see through with the light.Japanese sakura at Keukenhof. Where is the wine please haha.

Another different shot of Tulip at Keukenhof.

An art from Keukenhof of which i find it very classy hahaha or should I said glassy haha.

The famous Dutch wooden shoes. I have to wait patiently for this shot because there are many people surrouded to put their feet into this shoes to get the shot. When my turn finally came, I just shooed everyone away and took the shoes without any feet hahaha

Okie let me share more tomorrow.....there are still many more interesting shots that I took. Wait for part 3 haha...

Toi's Experimental Shots I

2008-05-18T22:46:00.009+08:00

I am into photography hehe and so I thought maybe it is good that I share some of my experimenting shots here. I did not used or owned any super duper camera.,,,just my phone camera and my sister's olympus old digital camera of which I consistently borrowed hahaha. I am not that cheapskate okie....just that I want to learn about the basic on lighting and angle before i got the real one.....it is rather expensive to get those canon cameras....

I took this shot in front of Wisma Genting last Tuesday when I am waiting for William to go for our lunch. I find this angle is nice for the building standing majestically and with the cloud backdrop.

I took this picture when I was driving from work...I know it is not safe!!! But i find this shot is so nice. I love it because it reminds me of my own philosophy haha.

I took this shot at Cititel's room during Anne's vist to KL. I later showed to Anne and bluff that it was San Frans building. She really believed me hahaha......of course I laughed and later showed him the building from the window spot I took haha.

This shot was taken during our Christmas dinner in Pavilion. I just find the white glossy thingy is nice.

This is rembrandt (not sure if i spelt it right), one of the famous artist in Europe. This portrait was made of flowers...yeahh...cool isnt it. This is taken from Antwerpen, Belgium.

This shot I took it because it is very "Gothic". Dont you think so? This statue with the backdrop haha.

This castle is one of the ancient one for the king of belgium. Took this in Antwerpen. I love this shot...i got this postcard feeling haha.

As I am walking down the street with my colleague in antwerpen, I was caught by this angle. Immediately I took my camear and snap it and it did not dissapointed me.

This was taken during our visit to the retirement centre in Antwerpen. Feel very holy haha

An inspiration came to me when I took a brisk walk with my nephew Nigel at Perhentian island. I called this shot "Stairway to Heaven"

This shot is actually at the same angle as the "stairway to heaven"...maybe I should said same spot. The moment i took Stairway to Heaven, I turned and immediately i feel i need to take this.

This shot I took when we (my friend and I) walked to from the place we stayed to the other side of the perhentian island. Nice huh....amazingly it is from my sony ericsson k800 haha

Perhentian Island trip with the gang as we walked back to our accomodation.

I have many more but I think I will share them tomorrow. More to come dude!!! Time for me to go to sleep zzZZZzzz

Till then cheers...

A Glamarous Night...

2008-05-18T00:51:00.004+08:00

Yesterday went to frangipani as I always did on every friday. Yesterday the crowd is a bit boring actually haha... but nevertheless, I still had a great time.

Today I thought it is going to be another normal day. I have planned a dinner with my ex-schoolmate for a gathering. Then it turned out to be a disco nite, of which eventually the whole event just called off at the very last minute haha.

But today I went with my family to Westin Hotel's Q Bar. Very nice restaurant. They served Latin American food there. Felt so glamarous haha...arrived in my brother-in-law bmw and have it parked right in front of the hotel, everyone is looking hahaha.. what is missing i think is the camera flashes haha. Then we are escorted to the restaurant where we got ourselves our own space...The captain served us and make his professional suggestion...drinking wine, enjoying the taste of the food and most importantly, the relaxing ambience that it carried. So nice....and the best part is when the band , yes they have a live band from Columbia playing my favourite jazz number "The Girl from Ipanema". Who can ask for more eh hahaha.

Also, this week I found some information about Calgary....scared the wits off hahaha. Hey they have many rednecks and very very conservative community. I scared I might be stoned to death hahahaha. I dont know if i really like it but will see how it turned out to be at the end of this year. Keeping my finger crossed.

Well, as for this week....to give an idea of the song that I love....

Slow dancing our way to Bali....

2008-05-07T23:19:00.003+08:00

Last week, Anne (my close friend) came with her friends. Quickly, I got acquainted with Jessica. Maybe because both of us are sharing the same surname, or is it because both of us belongs to the crazy people category hahaha. Funny enough that three of us actually plan a trip together to Bali this upcoming July and so this trip serve like a "warm up" for all of us haha.

I had such a thrilled time with you guys and I hope you too....sharing jokes and having drinks with the KL nite view....who can asked for more !!!!

Who said you can only get this view in Hong Kong or Shanghai? We also have this very nice here in KL you know hehe..

I termed this picture as "Three Bitches on the Loose" hahahaha......man, we need more of this session gals!!!! I missed it already ....hehe I think I enjoying too much that I immediately bought an air ticket to Penang for August in the MAS Zero Fare promotion haha

Now we should slow dancing our way to Bali first....yayyyyyyy !!!!! Presenting John Legend's Slow Dance
