Year 2010!!!

It's the very last few hours left for year 2009 and year 2010 is coming into picture. Here goes the old year, all the bad stuff, all those stupid fight, stupid hatred and lousy things we have been through and it's time to welcome the new year with new hopes and dreams.

New year suppose to be something to be cheering about but then for me, it's nothing much to be joyful for. I still have to go to work on the very next day on new year, the Saturday for overtime as there are a whole lots of claims to be settle. I guess I will be having overtime for the coming week as well after having so many days overtime already.

New year does not seems too good too. It sounds more likely to tell you that you are older another one more year, you are soon to be someones uncle or aunt, or even that we are closer to the year 2012, the so-call-end-of-the-world myth.

However, there are still some good things about it. You have a day off from work as it's a public holiday, you can have new dreams, you can hope for increment of salary or bonus (if you eligible to) and repeat those special days with your loves ones.

So hope you guys have a nice new year and enjoy your holiday. Happy New Year 2010!! ^^

Raymond Lam's Concert Live in Genting 2009

I was too tired to blog about this event this morning as I was back home almost 2am. I have been driving my family to Genting at noon and back after the show so can't help it but to get my sleep first. LOL.

The pre-Christmas concert is not that good and it seems pretty short as it ended pretty early than I expected. A lot of his song was not sang that night according to my sister (I do not really know much of his song as I'm not his fans), However, he do have pretty much fans. There were light board of his fans from Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Canada that I can see. Anymore others that I did not notice, then I did not mention here. LOL.

He changed four times during his show, which made up of 5 sets of costume that he wears that night. I have no idea whether those clothes that he wear that night is sponsored by Key Ng, our Malaysian fashion designer or basically all Raymond's clothing. LOL. However, those clothes he wore that night sucks.

He basically invited 4 guests or maybe only 3 guests which were all the way from Hong Kong because Malaysia policy, any concert done in Malaysia kinda have to invite a Malaysian singer along with it as guest of the day. There this guy I only know him as a HK TVB actor (don't ask me his name because I can't remember myself), Vincy (HK singer), Man Hant (if I'm not mistaken their band's name, which from Malaysia) and that stupid HK actor cum host for the Super Trio Supreme, Wong Cho Lam as the guests of the day.

Well, that Wong Cho Lam is too ugly for me to actually take his photo. LOL. Well, basically I guess the pictures tell more story of the concert. Some extra stuff for you to know. Actually Raymond Lam is not that handsome. His facial skin is pretty rough and he got his belly and not really in shape. He forgets his lyrics often too. For his die hard fans, sorry to say that is the facts.

Overall, the concert is not up to my expectation and I do not really enjoy it. Maybe solely due to his cockiness that he protrude during the concert. The only thing he instilled in me is that he just a not-so-famous-yet-cocky guy. That's all. LOL.

Best Christmas Tree of AIASS

Yay!! Our team, which combines SGGMD Claims and SGPMM team won the "BEST CHRISTMAS TREE" for our AIASS Christmas celebration. Well, if you guys have not seen the tree yet, feel free to view the it from my previous blog, titled "Christmas Gift Exchange in My Work Place" to view it.

We were given a small door gift upon registration to enter the auditorium around 6.00pm, which is a thermos mug from AIA Group. There is lucky draw session, however as usual, I did not manage to get anything. It seems I am pretty unlucky, never get anything from any lucky draw before. LOL.

I'm not nagging for not getting anything. Maybe I just simply make a fuss over it. LOL. I do help out the decoration of the venue, mainly the Christmas tree at the lobby of Wisma AIA. Although it's a little bit tiring and I guess nobody actually notice your effort, however those that knows will remember it.

It's still good thing and I'm feeling great yet pleasant as I do contribute a small part in this event. I just do not want to be a working machine that only work on my job and have no fun at work. Anyway, since my team leader deducted my productivity hour, so why not help out? LOL.

I was helping my team leader to capture some short video for the event, such as performance and the lucky draw session. It's cool since I need not to just be sitting there. I can walk around a bit. Nothing beats my colleague as she was performing tonight and she really enjoy her performance and performed fantastically.

If tomorrow we need not to work, that will be the best thing for this week after tonight's event. However, we still need to work tomorrow as my team follows Singapore's public holiday. I guess I will be going to work slightly earlier tomorrow and finishes my work on time so that I can go back straight after my working hour. ^^

Christmas Gift Exchange in My Work Place

My team from my working place, AIASS has organized a small lunch to celebrate Christmas together before the actual Christmas celebration of my company tomorrow. It was a simple lunch, where one of our colleague sponsors the lunch for the whole team.

Meanwhile, our team SGGMD have join forces with SGPMM team for the Christmas tree decoration. We will be competing with some other department and I have no idea what is the result at the moment. My team mainly just help out to put on the empty boxes of our gift exchange that we planned last week.

Below is the picture of the Christmas tree that we decorated and the following picture is the gifts of my team. After exchanging gifts, we just put the empty boxes with the wrappers intact back under the tree. LOL.

The whole thing seems short but we really enjoy ourselves. Maybe I like it simple so that I need not to think too much on what to make it more happening. For now, I'm still having no idea what to wear for tomorrow's Christmas party in my company. The theme is "SPARKLING".

I have nothing 'sparkling' to wear. I guess they will make fun of us that does not dress sparkling enough for that event. Well, I guess the guys in my team might most likely to suffer the same thing as I am facing right now. Maybe they do not even give a damn about it.

Work With People From My Batch

Recently, my working colleagues, those that same batch of commencement with me started to have quality control among ourselves. We call it as peer check to minimize our errors of our processing job. However, I found out that one of my colleague is doing something that is unfair to the rest of the team.

She picks cases by those easier policies, either by memorizing those policy number or write it down somewhere. I guess it have to be that way or else how on Earth she can get almost the same policy everyday?

Worst, she does not admit her fault. Well, I can't do anything to her but then I started to feel how people like to take short cut and how they always kick the problem or trouble to elsewhere as long as it does not cause them any harm.

No wonder she can process so many cases everyday. It's so unfair for the rest of the team. We process lesser case and makes her stand out of the crowd as if she is super efficient. However, the actual fact is that she cheated.

MPS Reunion 2009

Yesterday, my primary school, Methodist Primary School (MPS) held a gathering. I have the chance to meet back most of my long time primary school mates. Some of them I have hard time recalling who they are. Some I can recognize them first glance, like Arun, Mohan, Get Tsung, Wendy, Trisha (forever the same.. LOL), etc.

When Punitha approached me, I really can't recall her name although I recall she used to be my classmates back then. I'm really thrilled about last night gathering. Seeing back most of them, most of them change so much.

The ladies gets prettier. Some really amazed me. Mariam for instance, she used to be having short hair and tomboy-ish as I could recall, but she is so lady-like yesterday I saw her. I really can't believe my eyes of the drastic changes among all of us. Others like King Yi and Joel getting more buff up, having those eye catching body that amazed the girls last night.

Some of us do not change much. For example, Kelvin, Jin Young, Trisha, Wendy and me. LOL. Basil can recall me the first sight of me when I am almost reaching the main gate of the school. The whole experience of getting back to school is really amazing plus a little bit odd. However, it's really worth it.

I wonder how we will be look like if there is another gathering like this in the future, perhaps in 5 years time. Will most of them married by then or still single? Maybe having kids tagging along to the gathering like some of our senior that I can see on the gathering yesterday.

I really enjoy the night. It was fun and unforgettable. I believe it goes to most of us that night. We took a lot of pictures and Punitha will be the one to post it on Facebook. Well, I'm still waiting for her to post it. Once she posted it up, I'll either save the link here or post it here myself. ^^

Exhausted After RPM Class

I went for RPM class at 7.30pm at Fitness First, The Curve today and it really make me sweat. I mean I sweat more than I do previous few classes I attended. The instructor of the day really pushes us hard to burn down some calories.

Although my main objective is not burning calories as I am already pretty thin, almost like a bamboo like most my friends used to call me, but I still think some cardio work out is necessary to built up some stamina and improve my health.

Of course I do take food after my work out as that is the way to gain more weight. I need to replenish my energy and eating after work out can make my digestion goes pretty fast and I will absorb more.

However, I am really exhausted today. I guess I have to sleep early and get up early for work tomorrow. So I guess I will skip the reading for today and have a great rest and sweet dreams later. LOL.

Working Life

After working in my company for more than a month, I realised that I'm still learning things around. Seeing some of the senior batch (where they join the company earlier than me of course), they still need to ask around at times regarding the claim cases.

Like what I had mentioned in my previous blog, life when you step into the working world is really different. We will never know how is the true feeling if you are not in the shoe of those who already working at the moment.

I realised that we do not have that much of time for ourself when you started working. Perhaps those who work as salesperson may feel slightly different, but for me, who work in office, I personally feel that my time for my ownself reduce greatly.

Less time for me to go shopping, catch a movie, online chatting, facebooking, reading, etc. That makes me treasure even more the spare time I have. My schedule become pretty tight for the whole week.

Weekdays of course I have to work and weekends, I have my dance class, my work out session with my gym buddy, some time to spare for family, or even to do things that I wanted most such as catching up a movie.

So, this working life will be with me for at least around 30 over years. I guess I have to cope with it and hope to strive better in the future. Planning is the most important thing for our future. I think I am going to focus myself on my career and my life. I am gonna save enough for my future Japan's trip. LOL.

On Hong Encore Concert Live in Genting 2009

Yesterday, my family (except my brother) and I went to Genting Highlands for the On Hong Encore Concert Live in Genting 2009, and it really drained all my energy. It's not because I'm so high seeing the two of them (Andy Hui and William So), but it's because I spent almost the whole day in Genting.

I have to accompany my family to walk around Genting since they are not familiar with Genting anymore. Then I did accompany my mother to the Casino de Genting to look around and waste some time there before meeting up the rest for dinner.

We have a simple dinner before we hit to Arena of Stars for the concert. My mother kinda like William So. For me, I think both also not much different as I do not really fancy any of them. However, William So's performances last night seems pretty good, at least better than Andy Hui.

Hui's voice seems rather rough and lack of breath when he sings. Perhaps he is a little bit out of age already. LOL. Perhaps I am prejudise towards Andy as I prefer Sammy Chen and they have some bad rumours last time. LOL. Forget it, it's not important.

I did manage to shake Andy Hui's hand but not William So. I only manage to touched his shoulder as too many people gushing towards him, pushing me around that I nearly fall down. I cannot imangine they able to gain so much attention and fans. I just do it for the sack of fun and once in a lifetime. LOL.

Nothing much I can talk about the concert, it just a simple plain concert as there were no dancers, no special performances and some crappy special guests they got. Once of them is a member of Hong Kong's band, EO2, then a Malaysian singer and a lady that nobody have any idea who she is. LOL.

Enjoy some photos that we manage to took on that night. Sorry for the unprofessionalism of my photo taking as I'm not as good as Moses or Chien Wei who kinda obsess with photo taking. LOL. Anyway, these are just some photos we took, not all of it. LOL.

Things I Wanted To Do

It's been almost a whole month I have been working with AIA Shared Services Sdn Bhd. Basically, I feel like I missed out a lot of my own sweet time of catching some great movies, doing things that I wanted to, and worst of all is that I lose some weight.

Just in this short period of time, I am able to lose 2kg. I felt so guilty and sad even though I do not think that I eat any lesser than I used to be. If Douglas saw what I wrote here, he must be feeling so bad. He will wanna be me. LOL.

I have been working most of the time, I mean only weekdays, however most of the day I got to stay back a little bit more late to finish up my work to meet my daily quota. It actually kinda stress at times as well.

Anyway, work is work. I have to take it as an experience and hope I will learn something from it. I might not be (most probably) working with this company for ages. It may be a stepping stone for me. This company of mine soon will be moving to Cyberjaya. So, considering a better offer job is not a bad choice too. LOL.

After started working, seriously I feel that lack of contact with the world or friends too. Everyone is busy with their life to attent to. Push aside this, I even feel that I have less time to do things that I wanted to. For example, I wanted to self-learn my Japanese language, spent some time to read my magazine, etc.

Life is kind of miserable at times. We can't have all the things we want. We can only pray to God and hope that with His grace, everything will goes well.

Life is a Knowledge Itself

We always go through a lot of stages in life. When we were born into this world, we go through a time where we only eat, sleep and excreting "stuff" that we do not want. That is our baby-hood.

After that, we have some time where we learn how to walk, how to speak, and learn a lot more things yet we have the time to play and explore things we curious about. That is our childhood.

As we aged and turn to be adolescences, we became curious about a lot more things and imagination runs wild and this is the time where we learn about up and down in our life. We learn from all our mistakes that we have done, or perhaps we do not realize it till it is too late.

When we step into the working world or so called adult world, things change again. Every stages of life is just like an experience that we learn all our life. There is like no end for learning. It is just depends on you wanted to learn it or to avoid it.

Sometimes, it makes me realized that things that we see now, that we have now, that owned now or even our feeling might not last eternally. Only God seems to be eternal here in the picture. However, most of the time, we will neglect Him and too busy with our daily life.

If you does not realize it, try to ask yourself some of these questions and you might actually find it quite true. Do you recall all your primary and secondary classmates and do you still contacting all of them regularly? Are your best friends in your primary and secondary school still the same best friend you have right now?

Other than that, how about your partner? Is he or she your first love? Do you think he or she is permanent for you? Well, this sounds a bit bad but it's the fact. Not all people encounter good eternal love kind of relationship. Some people have to hide and seek their love, some even have to be hiding their own feelings towards someone.

So treasure every minutes you have with someone that you treasure or you love. They might not always be around you but do take some time for each other. Do try to make your life the best you can. There is no re-take.

Third Week and Things No Longer The Same

This is the third week of my employment with AIA Shares Services Sdn Bhd. Thing changes (not drastically) over time. My job scope is still the same but then it does not seems to be as easy as it is to be. Moreover, I'm kinda often make mistake here and there. It makes me feel pretty bad.

However, I have to take time to learn it. Well, I'm a slow learner. I'm a kinda worry about this. I do not hope to be always call by those senior colleague regarding the claims that I processed which have some mistake here and there. It makes me feel so stupid, and mostly careless mistake.

Anyway, this week pretty lots of changes, even on Monday, I have experience going back home pretty late. Today already Wednesday, and I'm looking forward to the weekend for my rest day. Hopefully this Saturday need not to work overtime. This Sunday I need to help out in a charity dinner. I do not want to collapse before that. LOL.

Gotta Aim High

These few days been working like a cow. Well, it is not really that bad actually but then I'm handling about 40 cases each day these two days. Mentally exhausted if you got to ask me. It's not that simple yet not that hard. Thank God the cases I'm dealing now is pretty easy.

I have been dealing with out patient cases and most the clinical for last week. This week, kind of dealing mixture of specialist and some daily surgical cases. Well, I know most of you will not understand what I am saying here but that is okay. That is not the main point anyway.

This Saturday, it seems most probably I will have to work OT already. It was told by my team leader this morning during the briefing and meeting with our team manager. Well, she just kind of introduce herself and let us introduce ourselves as well. Nothing much special except she mentioned about the shifting to Cyberjaya next time. Hopefully there is transport allowance for us. LOL.

Now, I think I have to focus myself. I have to pick up my skill quick and adapt with the environment. I have target to meet as well. The most important, I have to reduce my mistake and increase my accuracy, which I think pretty hard in the sense of increase productivity at the same time. So, 'gambatte ne, Takumi-san', I have to say it to myself. LOL.

Second Week of My Working Life

Well, time passes so fast and it's the second week of my working life already. I have been learning a lot from here and there but there is much more to come. The same thing like I said in my previous blog, I do still feel fear of my job a little bit. Hopefully I can cope up with all that.

Anyway, I guess like they think, my team leader might either hate me or likes me so much that he gave me kinda lot of cases to handle for a newbie like me. Poi Ying for example, she told me she handle roughly 10++ cases per day last time. For me, I'm handling 30 cases alone today. It's just the sixth day of me working in the department.

When I told them about the number of cases my team leader assigned to me to Poi Ying and some of my colleague, they were shocked as well. I think the team leader should be thinking guys can handle more cases than girls perhaps. LOL.

Maybe he even want to train me to be another gunner, just like one of my colleague that he is the top person in our department. He processes the cases like train and of course a lot more compare to the others. I think I don't want to be like him. LOL.

So Lost

Today is my second day working with AIA Shared Services Sdn Bhd. Basically, I'm still pretty blur with my work. I do not really mean my work but how to deal with my work. The system that we are using I should say pretty easy to handle. However, there is so many things to be master.

Just in the matter of two days, I have been loaded with plenty of information on how to use the system and so on. Maybe I'm kinda slow in catching up with things. I felt like data overload kind of feeling.

However, today still not that bad. At least I need not to work OT. Anyway, what surprise me in my department is there are so many UTAR'ian. At least for now, there are 5, which including my ex-course mate and me.

Hopefully things goes on smoothly and I will catch up things as quickly as possible. However, I know it's kinda impossible as one of my colleague have been working 3 months there and still learning. Gosh, I feel the fear of working now. LOL.

Surreal Graduation Fashion Show 2009 by Raffles Design Institute

I was invited by my friend, Keith to attend his graduation fashion show, which called "Surreal Graduation Fashion Show 2009". It is held on Tuesday, 6th of October, which is tomorrow at J.W. Marriott Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. The time of the show is around 6.30pm.

There are some of the samples of the designs are posted below. Please do not ask me which one looks good. I have no idea how to appreciate or look at highly fashion sense clothing.

~ This last design my design my my friend, Keith, where his theme is "Paranoia" ~

Since he invited me and given me the ticket for the show, I think I have no excuses to run away from it already. I have to be there to cheer for his designs and support him too. The problem is that it is a fashion show, but then I cannot think of anything good to wear for such an occasion.

I guess tomorrow, I'll be looking like a nerd or geek there, among those who well dressed or fancy looking or even those who have high fashion sense kinda people around there. I'm kind of worried that I'll be embarrassing myself there that evening.

Fuck You by Lily Allen

I dedicate this song to a guy that annoys me for so long. Maybe next time if I can, and Redbox have this song, I'll sure pick it up and sing it to him. LOL.


Lyrics:
Look inside, look inside your tiny mind, then look a bit harder.
Cause we're so uninspired, so sick and tired, of all the hatred you harbor.
So you say, it's not okay to be gay, well I think you're just evil.
You're just some racist, who can't tie my laces.
You're point of view is medevil.

[CHORUS]
Fuck you, fuck you very, very much.
Cause we hate what you do, and we hate your whole crew.
So please don't stay in touch.
Fuck you, fuck you very, very much.
Cause your words don't translate, and it's getting quite late.
So please don't stay in touch.

Do you get, do you get a little kick out, of being small minded.
You want to be like your father, his approval your after.
Well that's not how you'll find it.
Do you, do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful.
Cause there's a hole, where your soul should be
You're losing control of it and it's really distasteful.

[CHORUS]

Look inside, Look inside your tiny mind, then look a bit harder.
Cause we're so uninspired, so sick and tired, of all the hatred you harbor.

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do and we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch
(X2)

Horrible Video (Viewer Discretion is Advised)

I just watched a video shared on Facebook by a friend of mine, Kim Fah which is so sick that I almost wanna throw out. Luckily I'm not a doctor and need not to deal with such a scenario. Gosh, it's so disgusting but at the same time, I really pity that man.

I attached the link here, "very bad accident". If you guys think that you are interested to watch such scene or brave enough for it, then "enjoy". I hope you guys don't puke after watching it or having nightmares for it. God bless the soul of that man.

Mid Autumn Festival

The Mid Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, or in Chinese, 中秋節 (Zhongqiu Jie), is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese and other people in the world (even though they celebrate it differently), dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty. It was first called 中秋節 (Zhongqiu Jie), which literally means Mid-Autumn Festival in the Zhou Dynasty. In Malaysia, Singapore and Philipines, it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar (lunar calender), which is usually around late September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumn and spring Equinoxes of the solar calendar, when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.

Traditionally, on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomelos together. Accompanying the celebration, there are additional cultural or regional customs, such as eating mooncake outside under the moon, carrying brightly lit lanterns, etc.

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

This year Mid Autumn Festival as usual, I guess I will be celebrating at home with my family where we gather for a dinner only. Those mooncake eating and playing with candles and lantern are not really my thing. So most probably after 9pm, I'll be darn bored.

Today is Mid Autumn Festival Eve, which is also my mother's birthday according to the Chinese lunar calendar (not the Gregorian calendar which my mother falls on 7th of October). This evening my family will be going out for dinner at some vegetarian restaurant nearby my area.

Learning Japanese Language Again

At last, I took the initiative to self study Japanese language again after been awhile since I last read and self studying it. Most of the things that I learn also forgot already. This time, thanks to the book I'm using now, I guess I learn better.

I'm slowly learning to recognise the hiragana, katagana and some kanji writing in that book. Although I tense to forgot after reading it, but then I can see some improvement. I guess the book is great.

However, I think I better do not over excited and try to master it too fast. Try to speed up the learning process seems giving myself some pressure and cause my migraine hit back this afternoon. So I guess I should take it slowly.

I guess after some time, using that book and able to memorise half of the book, I might able to read some simple Japanese stuff already. LOL. Hopefully my dream come true pretty soon. Thanks to my friend who support me to learn my Japanese back. ^^

Exhausted

Today I'm kind of exhausted. Yesterday went for work out and joined RPM class in Fitness First, The Curve in the morning and my dancing class at the evening. In between, I was driving my sister for her ballet class and my mother to get some stuff. Then at later in the evening went to Cheras with Charles and Theresa for a drink.

I only reached back home at midnight and got to wake up this morning at 6.30am and get to the gym for a work out session with Chee Yuen. It is the last work out session with him for this year. He just terminated his membership as he needs to go to Germany to pursue his degree and maybe master too. So next time, I got to work out alone most probably on Sunday. =(

Yesterday took me whole day and this morning work out as well, I'm really exhausted and barely move my muscle anymore. The dancing class was cancelled today and the worst thing happened to me is the migraine hit back.

I tried the product sample from Origin called "Peace of Mind" given by Douglas to me yesterday and it feels kind of good. It helps me to relax a lot but the pain of having the migraine might not be taken away by it. So during the noon, I took the medication and rest a bit. Now feels better as my head is not hurting.

For now, I'm just wondering how is my dinner tonight going to be. I do not feel like eating at home or outside alone, and of course the worst to get a take away food again all the time. My lunch today already it's a take away food and I ate it at home, alone. *Sob Sob*

Migraine

This few days I have migraine. I have no idea how to make it better and Panadol itself does not make it any better. So today I decided to consult a doctor, after my mother asking me to do so. The doctor prescribed me some medication and I just took it. It feels better now.

This migraine problem have been troubling me for sometime already. I guess I have to live with it already. Maybe next time if I found some drug for migraine and it works for me, I'll keep some with me for emergency.

Anyway, I do not want to depends on drug too much. I guess I should go for yoga or something else to relax myself. Maybe it helps to prevent migraine from occurring that often. I do not want to keep buying those drugs or consult doctor for this matter because it's costly. Just today, RM50 is gone just for the stupid consultation.

Kanji Lyrics:
動き出す次のステージへ向けて
僕たちは歩き続ける

どこまでも続くこの一本道を
僕たちは光り続ける

ここからもう一度
始まってくスタートを
どんなふうにきっていけるのかな

空を見上げたらふわり笑顔がこぼれたよ
恐くないよ大丈夫だよって聞こえた
空を見上げたら不意に涙がこぼれたよ
過去に残した傷跡さえ今は愛しい

響いてる未来を告げる合図が
僕たちは瞳合わせる

高鳴るこの鼓動
何を選び、描いて
どんな地図が出来上がるのかな

風を感じたらぎゅっと強く手を握ろう　
多くの言葉なんてもう必要ないから
風を感じたらぐっと強く歩き出そう　
同じ速度で同じ景色眺めて行こう

空を見上げたらふわり笑顔がこぼれたよ
恐くないよ大丈夫だよって聞こえた
空を見上げたら不意に涙がこぼれたよ
過去に残した傷跡さえ今は愛しい

風を感じたらぎゅっと強く手を握ろう　
多くの言葉なんてもう必要ないから
風を感じたらぐっと強く歩き出そう　
同じ速度で同じ景色眺めて行こう

Translation Lyrics:
To the next stage, which begins to move,
we continue to walk together.

This only road never ends,
we continue to illuminate it.

How will we take
this fresh start that,
once again, presents itself here?

While looking at the sky, my face was lit by a gentle smile
I heard "Don't be afraid, everything is fine"
While looking at the sky, a small tear flowed
Even the scars left by the past seem sweet today.

The sign tells us that a vibrant future, makes our looks meet each other.

Our hearts are beating so strong,
What will they choose and represent?
What is the map that will take shape?

If you feel the wind, grip our hands strongly
Because we don't need many words to understand each other

A Sad Yet Touching Story - Please Help Them If You Can

I saw this clip on Facebook at first (which posted by a friend of mine) and I felt so touch by the video. I did shed tears for the kids and I'm really proud of that little sister, taking care of her own brothers and sisters. She is amazing and determinate.

Please prepare some tissue paper while watching this short video except that you are heartless person, then you need not to prepare anything. Perhaps just prepare some money and donate to them. They are starving and it's really sad to see this actually happening.

This clips seems to be one of the San Damiano Foundation's work. You may refer to their website and see what you can help them if you are capable in doing so. If I have capability, I will donate to this foundation to help them up.

I hope the world can see this too. Why not the nations trying to help this people? They need food to survive, nutritional food. They need not your pity only, they need real people and real action for them to survive.

I think I should say this to everyone out there, if you not ready to take good care of your own kids, please don't make one. Abandon them almost similar to killing them in a slower pace only. For me, I rather not getting a baby if I don't think I'll be a good father or parents. So, hope you guys think twice before making a baby.

'Lao Zha Bor' Rap

I can't believe what I have just seen this in YouTube.com. I can't believe that she really have a blog, laozhabor.blogspot.com. I did not really read about it because it's mainly in Chinese words and I can't understand it.

It's funny video that she comes up with and she does rock kinda bit. An old lady like her still can rap. Oh my God, even me can't rap at all. LOL. Hope you guys enjoy this clip. It's in my Facebook too. Have fun.

Paso Doble

"Paso Doble or Pasodoble (literal meaning in Spanish: double-step) is a typical Spanish march-like musical style as well as the corresponding dance style danced by a couple. It is the type of music typically played in bullfights during the bullfighters' entrance to the ring (paseo) or during the passes (faena) just before the kill. It corresponds to the Pasodoble dance (traditional and ballroom).

Paso Doble or pasodoble is a lively style of dance to the duple meter march-like pasodoble music. It actually originated in southern France, but is modeled after the sound, drama, and movement of the Spanish bullfight. Paso doble means "double step" in Spanish.

Famous bullfighters have been honored with pasodoble tunes named after them. Others are inspired in patriotic motives or local characters." [Wikipedia]

For more info of this dance, you can read it out from Wikipedia as the link provided here.

*******

Today, I learn a new dance, Paso Doble, just like what a little information I have been given here earlier. It's kind of challenging dance and kinda nice to dance around too. A bit more tiring compare to Quicksteps and more steps than it too. As usual, I guess I need more training in this dance before I can really dance till have the feeling of pasodoble or bullfighting.

I'm thinking to join line dance provided in Fitness First too. Maybe I start joining it tomorrow. It seems pretty fun too.

Dancing + Dinner at Crown Palace Restaurant, Sri Petaling

I just come back from dinner cum dancing at Crown Palace Restaurant, Sri Petaling, organized by the dance instructor (Ms. Janice) from Fitness Fitness. There were the IOI Mall, Puchong members, Leisure Mall (Cheras) member, and two more which I'm not so sure of. It's just a normal Chinese dinner cum with the dance floor for us to dance around (either to play around or to practice outside of the classroom or studio).

Well, I'm pretty tired because I dance kind of a lot too. I tried the Tango, Quickstep, Waltz, Chacha, Rumba, Samba and some I forgot the name of the dance (because I just learn today last minute for it. LOL). Anyway, some of the dance, like Rumba and Chacha, I dance badly because I tends to forget the steps and only remember some of the groups. So I was like kinda repeating the few groups that I remember with my partner.

It's fun although there are not many youngster like me (aged between 20~25), but there still got some mature guys and ladies (aged between 25~35) dance around with us. Those older ones (above 40) also got almost like 40% out of all those who attended this event. LOL.

Hope they organize this kind of event again next time (but not so soon, as I need to brush up my dancing skill. LOL). The more I practice, the more I can remember I think. Tomorrow going to attend my ballroom dancing class again at 9.30am. The worst thing is I gotta be there earlier as I need to work out with Chee Yuen at 7am.

Gosh, I think I better go to bed as soon as possible. This might be the last few weeks I'm going gym with Chee Yuen as he is going to Germany to study soon already. So, I do not think I wanna turn him down for the work out session. Hope I can wake up tomorrow morning for all the routines. ^^

Some People Are Just Annoying

I wonder have you ever know somebody or meet someone which are really annoying? How do you feel of this kind of people? What do you do to get rid of them or to stop their annoying actions?

Sometime, you do not want to hurt that person that you are not interested in what they are trying to convey to you or you don't like that particular stuff, but they just keeps on telling you the same thing or they use different approach to you. Once or twice is still okay. However after sometime, it will be annoying especially if they constantly approaching you.

Sometimes, I hope they just don't be so materialistic. Do not find you because they need you only for certain things. Friendship is to be cherish not to be abandon. Try to understand others as well. If they don't like it, or they cannot help, try others instead. Persistence is good but overly doing it will become disaster. If you don't mind losing a friend, they continue doing what you like.

Rock N' Roll + Tango + Rumba

This week (both Saturday and Sunday), I learn a new dance and practised some other dance, which are Tango and Rumba. Although we practise more on Tango today than Rumba, but at least we did some. I kinda forget how to dance Rumba because did not practise for some time already.

Tango kinda not too bad. Just need to practise more for the leg movements. Rumba, kinda need to recall back most of the steps as I forget some already. I kinda stuck when I need to change to a different part of the dance.

The new dance I have learned this week is Rock N' Roll. Actually it's kinda easy but then in remember the steps, maybe kinda tough. You do not want to get stuck halfway or crash onto your partner. The music is kinda fast and so do your moves. If you get stuck, then gone. You have to catch back the steps and start again.

Ghost Festival

In Chinese tradition, Ghost Festival is celebrated every year according to the Chinese calender (a lunisolar calendar) on the 14th night of the seventh lunar month. For further understanding about this day, please refer to Wikipedia.

As usual, parents will advise us not to go out late at night or come home too late. Preferable not after 11pm or 12am. They worry that we will bump into those 'dirty' things and get us some misfortune or bad luck or bad things happen to us.

Well, I don't really care much about those. Maybe I'm not that superstitious. However, I'm rotting at home now. I've just helped my mother with the 'paper burning' (where I personally thinks that's kinda not environmental friendly - causing so much air pollution, releasing a bunch of carbon dioxide and increase global warming). Although I'm not very environmental, but I still think that this few Chinese festivals seems pretty harsh to the environment (toxicating the air that we breath).

Since nobody asking me out tonight, I'll be at home (that's why I'm blogging here) doing nothing. I guess I'll have to sleep early tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to meet up Chee Yuen for gym. I gotta replace my Fitness First member card since I lost it that day working out at The Curve. Then at noon, going to meet up my cousin, accompany him to watch "Final Destination".

I can't find anyone want to watch that movie with me. Anyway, I hate watching horror movie at cinema. I gonna embarrass myself there because I'll jump around. I don't know how long I can last in the cinema. Maybe next time I should learn to say NO. So, the day after Ghost festival, I'm going to watch such a horror movie, hope I wouldn't get heart attack. Pray hard to God ^^.

UP

Today I went to Mid Valley to have a movie with my sister since this week is her school break. I didn't really bring her out much to walk around as we were younger. So today after I went to the IPR (Institut Perubatan Respitori) to get a letter for my employment purposes, and pass the letter to the panel clinic, I took my sister with me to go Mid Valley to watch the movie "UP".

Well, maybe I'm not that emotional this time watching the movie. I didn't shed tear like Keith told me that he did. The story is kinda touching at the end but then wasn't that heart killing kind perhaps. Or rather I'm kinda heartless lately. LOL.

The movie is great and I really enjoy it. Not to disgrace the movie, but then I found that the short film, or rather the 5 minutes show before the movie seems pretty more interesting. I can't stop laughing at that stupid cloud that keep on making stupid creatures, or rather kinda aggressive one. I pity the big bird. The movie itself, is cute and I will still recomment you guys to watch it. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Overall rating: 8/10
Plot: 8/10
Acting: *Not Applicable*

My Car Got Block By An Idiot

Today I drove my sister to have a hair cut in a saloon and get some hair treatment (which we already paid the money - since we took the treatment package previously). After the hair do, I got myself into some really stupid. My car got block by a idiot person's car and I can't get moving. It took an hour plus before I can finally get moving to go home.

I did pressed horn for more than half an hour but then nobody is coming to rescue me or even drive away that car. He left no note like his number or stuff so that I can contact him if he is blocking my way or something. So not considerate person. Make my day so miserable.

I was thinking that he is not coming back soon so I went to stationary shop to get some wrappers. Before I can scold him for his idiotic action of inconsideration and stupidity, he is already gone with his car. Tua was telling me to burn down his car and Wynne was saying I should try leave some "memories" (scratches) from head to toe of his car. Too bad I'm not that violent or else I might be really doing it.

Family Photo + Convocation Photo in Studio

During my convocation day on the 9th of August, my family went for a photography session at a studio near my home (not to say very near, it's at Mega Mendung area). I just got the photos yesterday. I was lazy to blog so I blog about it today. I'm not going to take picture of the photo and post it but directly from the CD that I ask them to burn for me (at least I can rewash some of it if I need extra).

I guess nothing much I can say about the photos. So I just post it here to share with you guys. My mother picked so many pictures, especially those with me alone only. Family photo only two. LOL.
